That doesn't apply to radio personalities, I thought. We're actually showing our support for our day without a woman. So a lot of people are actually not going. A lot of women are not going to be going to work tomorrow, so get ready for that.
Starting point is 00:04:46 But you can show your solidarity as well. You can wear red, support women and minority-owned businesses. Make sure you're wearing red in the right neighborhood. Don't go wearing red if you know the blood's popping where you're at. All right? Right. Pick another color. Right, right, right.
Starting point is 00:05:03 Maybe pink. It's red in the dark Shout out very own Charlamagne He was on breaks last night Looking like he was Straight out the 90s I do it for the culture

And I'm like, isn't Wednesday y'all day to take off? Yes. Like, come on. I don't think a lot of women got the memo.
Starting point is 00:05:27 What about what Wednesday? What about what Wednesday? Just in general, like people will talk to me like, hey, let's meet on Wednesday. Hey, let's do this on Wednesday. I'm like,
Starting point is 00:05:34 it's the day without a woman day. So a lot of women that I know didn't necessarily get the memo. Well, you're not required to do that.
Starting point is 00:05:43 Just like, this all came from the Women's March. So some people are, yes, still going to work. Some people aren't in the position to take off. But you can also show your support even if you don't take off from work by wearing red, by supporting women-owned businesses. I can't have that. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:05:57 Not in my household. What do you mean? My wife got to be there. She can't just go somewhere. I don't take that. Nobody ever said boycott home. Okay. Nobody goes to the grocery store.
Starting point is 00:06:07 She went to the grocery store yesterday for one hour. My son found a green marker. I don't know where he got this green marker from. And he marked the whole crib. I don't know if he thought he was a graffiti artist. Where the hell was you at for an hour? I was with the baby watching TV. And he went around and he had the marker and I guess
Starting point is 00:06:26 he wanted to write his name or graffiti his name all through the house. He didn't just do like one wall. He did like nine. Well, congratulations to your future tagger, baby. Somebody got to keep the culture alive. Somebody got to do it for the culture, man. Graffiti is a lost art. I landed at like one o'clock in the morning last night. My flight was delayed, delayed, delayed.
Starting point is 00:06:42 So, a little out of it. Oh my goodness. Alright, well let's get the show cracking. Front page news, what we talking about? Well, let's talk about Ben Carson and some comments that he made where he compared slaves to immigrants. Also, Planned Parenthood. Donald Trump has proposed to fund them if they do this. We'll tell you how they responded. All right.
Starting point is 00:07:00 Also, if you feel blessed, all right, you feel some positivity in your life, 800-585-1051. Maybe you had a birthday. Whatever it may be, tell them if you feel blessed, you feel some positivity, positivity in your life. Eight hundred five eight five one oh five one. Maybe you had a birthday, whatever it may be. Tell them why you're blessed. Phone lines are wide open. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get some front page news. Now, I guess we got to talk about him. Donald Trump, Donald Trump, Donald Trump. Yes, he has unveiled his new travel ban that will take effect on March 16th. And they have removed Iraq from the original list of Muslim nations that are blocked from coming to the United States. So that's the only update he made to it? I mean, I'm sure there's other things, but that's the main thing that's on there.
Starting point is 00:07:42 Of course, that seems like it's still illegal. Hey, we need a new travel ban. Scratch Iraq off to us. Here. Okay. Anything else with Donald Trump? Yes, Obamacare. They've also released their Obamacare repeal and replacement plan. So they said
Starting point is 00:07:57 there's a lot of things that are going to be unveiled because we don't have all the information yet. But the plan would eliminate mandates that required individuals to be insured and employers to provide health care insurance. It gets rid of tax penalties for people who don't get health insurance. And it also prohibits health insurers from denying people coverage, which also Obamacare did, if they have a pre-existing condition.
Starting point is 00:08:19 It allows younger adults to stay on their parents' health insurance until they're 26 years old. And it provides monthly tax credits to help low- and middle-income individuals It allows younger adults to stay on their parents' health insurance until they're 26 years old. And it provides monthly tax credits to help lower middle income individuals and families buy health insurance if their employers don't provide it. But it also makes Planned Parenthood ineligible for Medicaid reimbursements or federal family planning grants. I was going to say they are saying millions of more people will be uninsured after this. Yeah, I hear people calling it Obamacare-lite because they didn't really make a lot of changes to it, but I told y'all that already. I told y'all they was going to repeal and replace Obamacare
Starting point is 00:08:49 with Obamacare, make a couple tweaks to it and stamp their name on it. That's all. Now let's talk about Ben Carson. Oh, and last thing I was going to say with Planned Parenthood, Donald Trump has said that he will continue to fund Planned Parenthood if they stop providing abortion services. Of course, Planned Parenthood if they stop providing abortion services.
Starting point is 00:09:05 Of course, Planned Parenthood said absolutely not. Now, mind you, none of those taxpayers' dollars go to fund abortion services. It goes for other reproductive health services and preventative screenings that they use in clinics nationwide. So it's not like that money goes toward that. But Donald Trump has said the only way that he would continue to fund federally planned parent is if they stop doing abortions. I just don't understand why they care what somebody does with their body so much. Like, let people
Starting point is 00:09:31 be pro-choice. Like, you don't know what people's circumstances are that they may or may not want to have abortions. Like, I don't understand why they want to interfere with that. Yeah. Well, let's talk about Ben Carson and some of the stupid ish that he said. Well, the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, who is Ben Carson, has made a statement in his first remarks to employees yesterday.
Starting point is 00:09:50 He said this. That's what America is about, a land of dreams and opportunity. There were other immigrants who came here in the bottom of slave ships, worked even longer, even harder for less. But they, too, had a dream that one day their sons, daughters, grandsons, granddaughters, great-grandsons, great-granddaughters might pursue prosperity and happiness in this land. And do you know of all the nations in the world, the United States of America is the only one big enough and great enough to allow all those people to realize their dream.
Starting point is 00:10:30 He must mean involuntary immigrants or alternative immigrants. OK, people bought here because of human slavery and forced into servitude. Well, Bugs Mattis, he said for less. For less, does he mean free? I don't know. Slaves didn't get paid. People worshiped in slavery are immigrants? I'm confused.
Starting point is 00:10:48 Like, that's crazy. I mean, involuntary immigrants, alternative immigrants. I mean, we all might be immigrants, but we didn't come willingly. We didn't want to be in the bottom of slave ships packed on top of each other. And if you think slavery was a better life, I would love to know what Ben Carson thinks we were doing before slavery. Well, Ben Carson has since released a statement on social media. He said the two experiences should never be intertwined nor forgotten as we demand the necessary progress towards an America that's inclusive and provides access to equal opportunity for all. So why did he intertwine them, though?
Starting point is 00:11:18 They should never be intertwined. Why did he intertwine them? You did this, Ben. You intertwined them. Nobody else did. My goodness. All right. The last front page news.
Starting point is 00:11:30 Tell them why you're mad. 800-585-1051. If you're upset, you need to vent, call us right now. Maybe you had a bad night. Maybe you pissed off at your president. Whatever it may be. 800-585-1051. Call us right now.
Starting point is 00:11:42 It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Hey morning. The Breakfast Club. Hey, yo, good morning. This is Matt Rapp. I'm going to tell you why, man. I'm going to tell you why I'm back. I'm mad because I hung out in the club last night,
Starting point is 00:11:53 and there was too many good girls in there. Yo, for real, we don't need none of y'all good girls in the club. We need loose girls. We need drunk girls. We need sloppy girls. We need girls that's just going to call away. We don't need none of y'all nice girls in there. Go home.
Starting point is 00:12:02 Go away. Talk about it, and tell me why you mad. Breakfast Club, for real. Hello, who's this? Yo, what's going on, man? This is Xavier. I'm calling from Jersey. Now, why are you so mad this morning, bro? Oh, man, you gotta be kidding me. My motorcycle got stolen yesterday. The guy
Starting point is 00:12:16 that stole it is on camera stealing it. And I got the GPS in my bike. And I go to the guy's house with the cops. They're like, yo, well, you got your bike back, so you good. And I'm saying, well, what about the guy? They know who he is. They don't want to arrest him. Talking about auto crime isn't one of their priorities.
Starting point is 00:12:30 Wow, that's crazy. That's messed up. Were you willing to testify against him? Man, listen. Now, you can testify against someone else, but yo, if the dude, I work hard for my property, so I need my stuff back, but also I want him to, you got to face some type of consequences for that. This is what happened. If they're not going to do it, then he's going to face street justice. That's what it is.
Starting point is 00:12:48 The police probably said to you, are you willing to testify against him? And you said no, because you believe in that whole stop snitching thing. And so they said, okay, well, take your bike and leave. Well, he took the cops to his house. He did take the cops to his house, though. Still got to be willing to testify. But you're going to testify, bro? Hey, listen, if they go and get the dude, it's going to have to go down.
Starting point is 00:13:05 Yeah, it's got to be like that. I'll pay my taxes. There you go, man. I got you a second, man. Listen. God damn. Just say yes. Yeah, I'll pay my taxes.
Starting point is 00:13:14 Just say yes. That ain't snitching, bro. Somebody steal from me. Guess where I'm going to be? In the courthouse pointing them out, looking them dead in the eye, saying it was him, officer. Hello, who's this? This is Monique. Hey, Monique.
Starting point is 00:13:24 Why are you mad this morning? I'm mad because I'm tired of this weather not deciding what I want to do with the soap. One minute it's hot, next minute it's cold, next minute it's raining, next minute it's sunshine. It needed to get hot and stay hot. I'm with you. No rain, just clear, sunny skies every day. You want the weather to be as predictable. Exactly, like back home in Jamaica.
Starting point is 00:13:43 You want the weather to be as predictable as your, like back home in Jamaica. You want the weather to be as predictable as your period? Well, even that's unpredictable, too. There we go. Alright, thank you, Mama. I'm mad at my little son, my little two-year-old son. His name is Jackson. I'm mad at him. He found a green marker and he marked it all over the house.
Starting point is 00:14:00 My wife went out the house for an hour to the grocery store, and this boy in that hour got that marker, and he graffitied the whole house up crazy. Didn't you have been watching him? Yeah, I'm mad that his parents left him unattended and left him alone for an hour. I was there by myself.
Starting point is 00:14:14 I got five kids. I had the baby. Jackson was alone by himself, too, clearly. How did you not know he was doing that for an hour? A whole hour, bro? I thought he was watching television downstairs. You thought by himself? So he was watching television downstairs. You thought? So he was by himself
Starting point is 00:14:26 downstairs, a two-year-old MV woman. I don't know about this MV. The 15-year-old, Madison was supposed to be with him. Logan was supposed to be with him.
Starting point is 00:14:33 And they weren't. But he just did it by himself. Sounds like the dad's fault. Sounds very neglectful. Not like a case of negligence. But don't suppress his inner artistic side. Let him express himself.
Starting point is 00:14:44 They're not on the wall, though. My goodness. Tell him why you mad. Listen side. They're not on the wall, though. My goodness. Tell him why you mad. Listen, let him go visit his family in the hood so he can get some graffiti under his belt and let him get it out of him. No. No, no, no, no, no, no. Tell him why you mad. 800-585-1051.

Starting point is 00:15:49 Wow. Yeah, that's not smart. That's not smart at all, man. Yeah, he's a very volatile president, a very thin-tempered president, and it's a possibility we could go to war with somebody. Yeah, we appreciate him for protecting our country, but, you know, I don't know if this was the time.
Starting point is 00:16:08 It's like saying, like, my boss calls me to N-word every day, and I'm going to say hi to him. Well, you still should say hi to him. Or it's like having sex with a girl you know got herpes. It's a high possibility. It's a high possibility you could get it. Your explain is so wonderful
Starting point is 00:16:23 right there. Why does everything have to do with herpes with you, Charlamagne? I just like to explain things in ways people understand, okay? Goodness gracious. Hello, who's this? Hey, man. Good morning, guys. Peace and blessings. It's your favorite guy, Port-A-Potty Guy.
Starting point is 00:16:35 What's up, Port-A-Potty Guy? Has Envy unblocked you yet? Listen, man. I love Envy, man. If Envy unblocked me, it's cool. He didn't unblock me yet, but it's all good. Oh, my gosh. He told me he was going to.
Starting point is 00:16:46 All right, I will. Envy blocked me because I'm out here trying to feed my family just like him. That's why. If I ask you to play my music, it's because I feel like I'm good and I deserve it, baby. You know what I mean? But Angela, you're looking good out here in these streets, though. Oh, thank you. Why are you blessed, bro?
Starting point is 00:17:03 He only knows that because he's not blocked. No, because he's not blocked. I'm blessed, Envy, because, you know what I mean? I got a three-year-old son that I'm taking care of, and I hear that you guys are giving away jobs over there. I don't know where that's from. No, man. Don't give that job to Don M. Rollins, man.
Starting point is 00:17:19 Give the job to Port-A-Potty Guy. Let me get the word in the streets. Don M. has a job. Port-A-Potty, You want to know a little secret? You want a little cheat code? Uh-oh. Yeah, yeah. Listen, Charlamagne, I don't think I need a cheat code.

Starting point is 00:18:29 Also, what company is planning to lay off a number of their on-air talent. All right, we'll get into all that when we come back. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
Starting point is 00:18:41 We are The Breakfast Club. Now, they're saying raindrop or raindrop? Come on, man. They're saying raindrops. I don't know who started? Come on, man. They're saying raindrops. I don't know who started that dumbass internet rumor. They're saying raindrops. In the video, it's actually raining. Remember that?
Starting point is 00:18:53 Okay, remember what Offset was on the Breakfast Club? He said raindrops. Like, who started the raindrop thing? Oh, Tiana Taylor, when she got the new Range Rover convertible, I guess, because I think in her post, she said rangedrop. It amazes me how people can listen to a song all this time. They've then had so many memes knowing it was rain drop. Genius done deciphered it. But one person can put up an internet post and you're like,
Starting point is 00:19:13 Oh, she is saying range drop. I was confused for a minute. I said, I thought it was rain drop. It is rain drop. Okay. She's not confused. All right. Well, let's get to the rumors.
Starting point is 00:19:21 Let's find out what company is laying people off. 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.
Starting point is 00:19:35 Well, ESPN is planning to lay off a number of their on-air talent. So those are just the talking heads that you see on television. They said behind-the-scenes staffers should not have to worry about their jobs. ESPN released a statement. We have long been about serving fans and innovating to create the best content for them. Today's fans consume content in many different ways. And we are in a continuous process of adapting to change and improving what we do. Inevitably, that has consequences for how we utilize our talent.
Starting point is 00:20:03 We are confident that ESPN will continue to have a roster of talent that is unequaled in sports. Yeah, I heard about that, though. But, I mean, people at ESPN got some ridiculous contracts. Like, I mean, you got people at ESPN who got contracts where they work for, like, 60 days and make $800,000. Really? A year. Oh, absolutely.
Starting point is 00:20:20 Well, they have more than 1,000 people that would fall under that on-air talent heading. So right now they're going to utilize the rest of their talent across additional platforms and shows instead of having all those people that come in and are, I guess, contracted out. As long as they keep Michael Smith, Jemele Hill, and Carrie Champion, we good. Drop on the clues, bombs for all three of those individuals. So they haven't said who they're laying off yet? They just said we're going to lay people off?
Starting point is 00:20:46 That's effed up, man. Nah, it'll be people like you ever seen like Brad Doherty come on ESPN for a second? Like he'd be on like during certain times, maybe during the playoff. It'll be people like him. I mean, that's messed up. They're going to lay people off. You go to work every day. You don't know if that's you. That's
Starting point is 00:21:02 foul. You know when you rob an ESPN. If you only work 60 days a year and you make $800,000, you're probably getting laid off, buddy. All right, Azealia Banks is a wanted woman. She was a no-show in court. She was supposed to be in court yesterday. She didn't come, so now there's a bench warrant for
Starting point is 00:21:18 her arrest. I know where she at. And she's a Parisian fashion week. Yep, I see it on Instagram. Everybody knows. They're saying that she told her attorney to let the judge know, hey, if you need me to be in court, I could be there later or whatever. And the judge is like, nope. We see you all over Instagram in Paris in a denim thong, Azalea.
Starting point is 00:21:36 We know exactly where Azalea Banks at. Now, this is all because of the 2015 arrest that she had for biting a nightclub bouncer, a woman in the breasts. Wow. All right. What do you even tell the judge when the judge says you didn't show up to court, but then you're like, oh, well, I was busy, and then they can look on Instagram and see you was in Paris with the denim thong on. Yeah, that
Starting point is 00:21:54 thong looked crazy. Alright. Ice Cube has a new project that he's going to be working on. He's going to have a voiceover role in a Spider-Man film. So, now he's, uh, they're looking at him for the role, allegedly, of Jefferson Davis. Who's Jefferson Davis?
Starting point is 00:22:09 Miles Morales' father. Yes, Miles Morales' father in the Marvel comic books. He's actually a former S.H.I.E.L.D. agent. I don't know what that means, but go ahead. I read Marvel comics, so he's a former S.H.I.E.L.D. agent.
Starting point is 00:22:21 So yes. And Miles Morales is actually Spanish. All right. Octavia Spencer hosted Saturday Night Live. And some people love this skit and some people were upset about it. Now, in this skit, she's a disgruntled former pharmacy company employee. She actually had to sue her former employer because they stole the names of her friends and family and used them to name the drugs. All right.
Starting point is 00:22:43 Here's what it sounded like. I'm suing for intellectual property theft because they have stolen many of my ideas, and I'm asking for $20 million in damages. In December 2004, this company created a drug called Seasonique. Back in 1997, I had a child. Please say hello to Seasonique. Hello. And that's not the only example. This company has named dozens of their drugs after members of my family. Celexa. That's my cousin. Cymbalta.
Starting point is 00:23:09 She's trouble, but she's fun. Allegra. Now, she does my hair. She has a little baby named Little Nicorette. Little Nicorette. What's the problem? So people are upset. They're saying that Saturday Night Live shouldn't be making fun of black people's names.
Starting point is 00:23:21 They felt like it was an issue. Let me ask you a question. Is it making fun of black people's names if you can actually point to people and say, yes, those are people, is black people named that? Is it a stereotype if it's true? I'm just telling you some people thought it was hilarious. And then Twitter, some people were very angry about it. So we mad about the stereotypes?
Starting point is 00:23:41 Is it a stereotype if it's true? And I don't know anybody. The closest name that she said was something for Nick because isn't one of Master P's daughters named Symphonique? Something like that.
Starting point is 00:23:49 They said Seasonique. Seasonique, yeah. I mean, I don't see the issue here. What's the issue? I don't know what the joke is. Who's a little Nicorette? I never met a Nicorette.
Starting point is 00:23:57 That sounds a little close to the N-word. I know. That sounds a little close to the N-word, right? So, you know, I can understand that one a little bit. I know a Nicolette. I don't know a little Nicorette. I don't know that N-word, a rat. So, you know, I can understand that one a little bit. I know a Nicolette.
Starting point is 00:24:05 I don't know a little Nicolette. I don't know that person. I know a Mercedes. I know a Lexus. A Lexus. I know a Alize. Yeah. I know a hypnotic.
Starting point is 00:24:13 They call her Young Hypno. No, you don't. I do know a Young Hypno. I know a Remy. I know a Remy. Named after the drink. Yeah, I know a couple Remy's. You know a Hennessy.
Starting point is 00:24:24 I know some Nasirs. I know some Raekwons, I know a couple of Remy's. You know a Hennessy? I know some Nasir's. I know some Raekwon's. I know some Lil Kanye's. Okay, it's definitely some Beyonce's running around out here in these streets. All right. Is it a stereotype if it's true? People. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:24:37 Hmm. I mean, there are some stereotypes that are true, I guess. We'll talk about it more in the next hour. Crazy people, black people with crazy names is definitely a true stereotype. That is true. But crazy is subjective. Who says it's crazy? Whoever said any of those names are crazy? I know people have said
Starting point is 00:24:54 like, oh, it's going to be hard for that person to get a job with that name. You know, just because it's not the norm doesn't mean it's necessarily crazy. Black people have very unique imaginations. Okay? We just don't want to name our kids Mary. All right? We want to name our kids Mary. Alright? We want to name them Beyonce. Rashawn.
Starting point is 00:25:09 You don't want to just name our kids Cindy. We want to name them Solange. Okay? What's wrong with that? Oprah. Imagine if Oprah was just Jill. It wouldn't even have the same effect. Jill. No. Oprah. Damn it. You'd think Oprah was crazy if she wasn't a billionaire.
Starting point is 00:25:26 You'd think that was a crazy name if she wasn't Oprah Winfrey. All right. All right. Angela. That didn't come across well. No, that didn't come across well. It's kind of plain Jane. All right.
Starting point is 00:25:38 That one is Angela Davis because of what she stood for. Shut up. All right. That's the rumors. When we come back, we got front page news. We'll tell you about Donald Trump. What you got for us, shut up. All right. That's the rumors. When we come back, we got front page news. We'll tell you about Donald Trump. What you got for us, Rashawn?
Starting point is 00:25:48 Donald Trump, Donald Trump, and more Donald Trump. That's R-A-A capital S-H-A-U-N. Donald is a lame ass name unless it ends with a Glover. Or a duck. Donald Duck, Donald Glover, the only Donald we acknowledge.
Starting point is 00:26:00 Front page news. When we come back, keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news when we come back. Keep it locked. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Let's talk about your president, Donald Trump.
Starting point is 00:26:13 Yes, Donald Trump. They have introduced their new travel ban. And with this new travel ban, the only thing that really seems different is that they have taken Iraq from the list of places that were originally blocked from coming to the United States. So, yes, Iraq has been removed from the list. Listen, man, y'all asked Donald Trump to come up with a new comprehensive travel ban. So he did just that. He just scratched Iraq off the list and turned the paper back in. I feel like that would still be illegal because they haven't really done much. And they already decided it was illegal last time.
Starting point is 00:26:44 So I don't see what's different this time around now they have also released the Obamacare repeal and replace plan as well so the House Republicans are releasing that plan and what that plan will do is actually lead to it looks like millions more people will have lost their coverage and it's also going to cost more money for millions more as well. And I believe it takes away a lot of the federal responsibility and leaves a lot of that up to state. And people will also be getting tax refunds based on their age. Well, I already told you what they was going to do. They're going to repeal and replace Obamacare with Obamacare.
Starting point is 00:27:18 They're just going to stamp another name on it, okay? It's not about the care. It's about who gets the credit for the care in this situation. In addition to that, no federal funding can be made to Planned Parenthood because Planned Parenthood provides abortions. Now, Donald Trump has said that he would be willing to fund Planned Parenthood
Starting point is 00:27:35 if they stop performing abortions. And let's be clear, taxpayers' money does not go toward abortion. It goes toward other things. But that's what Donald Trump has decided. You're not going to tell me Donald Trump hasn't paid for an abortion Several in his day Now Planned Parenthood has rejected That offer to stop performing abortions
Starting point is 00:27:53 Do you think Donald Trump's never paid for an abortion? Do you think Donald Trump has never had An unwanted pregnancy? Like oh I gotta get rid of this one You really think that? I don't know Mr. Grabbing by the poom poom Come on now
Starting point is 00:28:04 Maybe so allegedly Maybe so. Allegedly. So allegedly. You got to protect us just in case, bro. Maybe so allegedly. You got to protect us just in case. Now, you guys, your secretary of housing and urban development, Ben Carson, has made his first remarks to employees at the department. And here is what he had to say about immigrants and slaves.
Starting point is 00:28:24 That's what America is about. A land of dreams and opportunity. There were other immigrants who came here and the bottom of slave ships worked even longer, even harder for less. But they too had a dream that one day their sons, daughters, grandsons, granddaughters, great-grandsons, great-granddaughters might pursue prosperity and happiness in this land. And do you know of all the nations in the world, the United States of America is the only one big enough and great enough to allow all those people to realize their dream. If you teach a history class this morning, man, you should make it your business to absolutely make slavery a part of the lesson plan this week. Because, you know, that is somebody trying to rewrite history right there. There was no such thing as alternative immigrants, okay?
Starting point is 00:29:13 It was slaves. Period. Bottom line. Point blank. Bought here because of human trafficking and forced into servitude. Okay? Like, I think we need a history lesson. Clearly, Dr. Ben Carson has never stepped foot in an African-American studies class.
Starting point is 00:29:27 Well, Ben Carson has since clarified his remarks on social media. He said that immigration and slavery, those two experiences, should never be intertwined or forgotten. So why do you intertwine them, Negro? The necessary progress towards an America that's inclusive and provides access to equal opportunity for all. I hate when somebody does something and then tell us that shouldn't be done. You're the one who intertwined slavery and immigration. They're going to turn back around and say they should never be intertwined. Negro, you started this conversation.
Starting point is 00:29:52 Well, he just got updated. That's why. You got to use this opportunity to teach. I'm telling you, if you're a history teacher, your lesson plan should be about slavery this week. Because I think it's a lot of people who really don't know the magnitude of slavery sometimes. Especially when I hear people liking slavery to like when Kanye had the song New Slaves
Starting point is 00:30:10 and they likened slavery to corporate America. Slaves didn't get multi-million dollar contracts, sir. All right. Well, that is your front page news. All right. Now, we just talked about this SNL skit, all right, that people talk about. Explain to the people what the skit was about, Yee. Octavia Spencer did a skit and basically she's suing a pharmaceutical company for stealing her children's names and using them to name drugs.
Starting point is 00:30:30 Well, let's hear the skit. I'm suing for intellectual property theft because they have stolen many of my ideas, and I'm asking for $20 million in damages. In December 2004, this company created a drug called Seasonique. Back in 1997, I had a child. Please say hello to Seasonique. Hello. And that's not the only example. This company has named dozens of their drugs after members of my family.
Starting point is 00:30:54 Celexa. That's my cousin. Cymbalta. She's trouble, but she's fun. Allegra. Now, she does my hair. She has a little baby named Little Nicorette. I thought Allegra was a medicine or something. I think Allegra was a medicine or something. I think Allegra is a medicine. It is.
Starting point is 00:31:08 That's why they say the kids are named after drugs. Oh, okay. All right, so we're asking, 800-585-1051, is it a stereotype if it's true? That's a great question. I always say it's not a stereotype if it's true. And what are some popular stereotypes? That you think are true. Like black people like chicken. Yeah, not just true. Like black people like chicken.
Starting point is 00:31:25 Yeah, not just the popular. All people like chicken. Black people like watermelon. I don't really care for watermelon. I'm not a big watermelon fan, but I do like watermelon flavored things. There you go. I'll take a watermelon Jolly Rancher all day, every day. Black people's always late.
Starting point is 00:31:37 No, that's Jamaicans. I'm pretty on time. Jamaicans are black. Well, you know what I mean. Caribbean, that's Jamaicans. Okay. All right, so those are some of the Caribbean, that's what I'm saying. Okay. All right, so those are some of the stereotypes.
Starting point is 00:31:48 We want to hear from you. 800-585-1051. Hold on, people are really upset about that SNL skit? Yes. Listen, black people have unique names. We know this. Right. You know what I mean? Like, crazy and subjective.
Starting point is 00:31:58 I don't think the names are crazy, but they're unique. That's what, you know, makes them who they are. Like, Oprah wouldn't be Oprah if she was just Jill. So we're asking. I mean, she'd still be Oprah,. She'd still be Oprah, but Oprah is a great name. Is it a stereotype if it's true? And what are some popular stereotypes? Call us right now. 800-585-1051.
Starting point is 00:32:15 It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you just joined us, we're talking about this SNL skit that people are mad about where there are some stereotypes.
Starting point is 00:32:31 So let's hear the clip right fast. I'm suing for intellectual property theft because they have stolen many of my ideas. And I'm asking for $20 million in damages. In December 2004, this company created a drug called Seasonique. Back in 1997, I had a child. Please say hello to Seasonique. Hello. And that's not the only example. This company has named dozens of their drugs after members of my family. Celexa. That's my cousin. Cymbalta. She's trouble, but she's fun. Allegra. Now, she does my hair. She has a little baby name, little Nicorette. 800-585-1051. We're asking, is it a stereotype if it's true? Now, on TheRoot.com, they did a whole article, watch SNL skit about drugs that sound like black names.
Starting point is 00:33:13 It's just dumb, racist trash. I don't think it's dumb, racist trash. I just think that it's a known fact that black people do have unique names. Now, if you're mad at the fact that somebody is, you know, making jokes about these unique names, okay. I can understand that. But, like, let's not act like that's the beauty of black people. Beyonce wouldn't be as great if it was just Stacey.
Starting point is 00:33:36 Oh, she'd be great, but it's the fact her name is Beyonce. All you need is one word. Solange or Oprah. Those are great names. I agree. Rashawn, those are wonderful names I don't want no Jill, no Amy I mean, come on
Starting point is 00:33:50 I agree with you, I think black people make amazing names Absolutely But it's all subjective though You know what I'm saying, if you want to look at it and say Oh, that's a crazy name, well then that's just how you're looking at it But I choose to look at it as Black people do have unique names Now the only thing I hate is as black people do have unique names.
Starting point is 00:34:05 Now, the only thing I hate is when black people start naming their names, naming their kids after products that's going to be played out in 20 years. Like what? Hypnotic. Cristal. Cristal. You got some Mercedeses out here in the hood.
Starting point is 00:34:16 Mercedes always going to be popping. Mercedes popping. You got, but I don't want, your child shouldn't be named Mercedes. What about Polo? Little Young Mercy. Yeah, there's some Polos out here. There's definitely some Lexuses out here. There's a lot of Lexuses.
Starting point is 00:34:28 There's quite a few Lexuses, and they try to put an A in front of it. Alexis, yeah. Same difference. What did you want when you was a kid? Alexis. So you name your child Alexis. Like, stop it. I think Alexis is a pretty common name. Hello, who's this? Hi, this is Nicole from Piscataway, New Jersey.
Starting point is 00:34:44 Hey, Nicole. Now, is it a stereotype if it's true? And do this is Nicole from Piscataway, New Jersey. Hey, Nicole. Now, is it a stereotype if it's true? And do you have some popular stereotypes for us? Yes. Honestly, I would say it depends on the case because sometimes it is true because black people do be having some crazy names. When they be telling me their names, I be like, um, okay. When you change the way you look at things and things you look at change, don't say crazy names.
Starting point is 00:35:08 Say unique. Yeah, you're right, you're right. And, you know, I'm always late, so I'm going to have to agree with that stereotype because I can't be on time to spend my life. Yes, you can. You gotta do better. Are you Jamaican?
Starting point is 00:35:24 I know, and I want to say one more thing. I've been. Are you Jamaican? I know, and I wanna say one more thing. I've been calling you guys trying to win some tickets, and I never ever get through. I call all the time. Yeah, you be mad late. You know, I'll be trying. I'm gonna try. Hopefully, I get some today. Alright, good luck to you.
Starting point is 00:35:40 Hello, who's this? Hello? Hello. Yeah, hello. What's your name, bro? My name is Christian from the Bronx. Now, what are some popular stereotypes? Hello? Yeah, hello? Yeah, hello? What's your name, bro? My name is Christian from the Bronx. Now, what are some popular stereotypes? When it rains, white people smell like dogs. By the way, that's not a stereotype. And the reason that's not a stereotype is because I've smelled white people when it rains. They all don't smell like dogs, man.
Starting point is 00:35:58 All stereotypes come from some type of truth. No, they don't all. That's like saying, no, they all don't smell like dogs. Just like you don't like watermelon like that. Well, a mass majority of black people like watermelon enough for it to be a stereotype
Starting point is 00:36:09 and a mass majority of white people stink when it rains for it to be a stereotype. I haven't been around a lot of white people when it rains, but I'm sure
Starting point is 00:36:18 they don't smell like dogs. You need to ride the bus more. You don't ride no damn bus. Yeah, what are you talking about? What do you know about bus?
Starting point is 00:36:24 I grew up on a school bus. What the hell is y'all talking about? I grew up riding the yellow school bus. Then white people definitely used to stink when bus more. You don't ride no damn bus. Yeah, what are you talking about? What do you know about bus? I grew up on a school bus. What the hell is y'all talking about? I grew up riding the yellow school bus. Then white people definitely used to stink when it rained and they dressed like
Starting point is 00:36:30 it's summertime when it's winter. Now. That is true. White people definitely dress like it's summer in the winter. They have a different
Starting point is 00:36:37 sensitivity to weather. Wear shorts when it snows. I can agree with that one. That's not a stereotype. It's true. I didn't know there was white people amongst the corner of South Carolina. Hello, who's this? Man, if you don't shut your dumb ass up, that's not a stereotype if it's true. I didn't know there was white people amongst corner South Carolina.
Starting point is 00:36:45 Hello, who's this? Man, if you don't shut your dumb ass up, that's a red state. Hello? Yeah. Hey, what's your name? Oh, Shonda. Okay, now we're talking. Is it a stereotype if it's true?
Starting point is 00:36:55 No. Why? I agree with Charlamagne. If it's fact, then it can't be stereotypical. It is what it is. Now, what are some stereotypes, Mama? That black people can only be athletes, can only be good at athletics. is what it is. Now, what are some stereotypes, Mama? That black people can only be athletes. Can only be good at athletics.
Starting point is 00:37:07 That's a stereotype. But I mean, it comes from the fact that a lot of black people are great athletes. That is true. And listen, your name is not just Shonda. What's your full name? Shonda. That's all? Your parents was born. They should have put some hot sauce on that thing. Thank you for calling, Mama.
Starting point is 00:37:24 Alright, thank you, bye. All right. Thank you. Bye. All right. But black people are good athletes, though. I can't. That is true. Absolutely. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:37:31 You look at the NFL. You look at the NBA. Majority. African-American. 800-585-1051. We're talking stereotypes. What are some popular stereotypes? 800-585-1051.
Starting point is 00:37:41 We're asking, is it a stereotype if it's true? And what are some popular stereotypes now this comes out of the snl skit where uh they basically were well let's play the skit i'm suing for intellectual property theft because they have stolen many of my ideas and i'm asking for 20 million dollars in damages in december 2004 this company created a drug called season back in 1997 i had a child. Please say hello to Seasonique. Hello. And that's not the only example. This company has named dozens of their drugs after members of my family. Celexa. That's my cousin. Cymbalta. She's trouble, but she's fun. Allegra. Now, she does my hair. She has a little baby named Little Nickerette. Listen, man, it's not a stereotype if it's true. The problem with stereotypes isn't that they are inaccurate, but they're incomplete.
Starting point is 00:38:27 They don't tell the whole story. But in order for something to become a stereotype, a mass majority of a certain group must do that thing for somebody to say, yeah, that's what they do. I mean, there are a lot of stereotypes that aren't true, though. Like every time I'm on a plane and I'm sitting first class, everybody goes, hey, what basketball team do you play for? I don't play basketball. I mean, nobody's ever asked you what that is.
Starting point is 00:38:48 I've never heard that. It's such a lie. Ain't nobody ever asked you about no damn basketball. And you know you lying. I don't know why you would say that. They might have said you were a rapper, but ain't nobody ever said
Starting point is 00:38:58 you play basketball. You got titties, bro. And some people think that all black men have large penises. That's not true. That's absolutely not true. I am very average. Seven inches, three-fourths, eight when it's warm.
Starting point is 00:39:08 So that's a disappointing when it's not true. All right, well, let's go to the phone lines. 800-585-1051. Hello, who's this? This is Danielle. Hey, what's up, mama? Good morning, good morning. Now we're asking, is it a stereotype if it's true?
Starting point is 00:39:22 And what are some popular stereotypes? Popular stereotype one being that I'm American and West Indians think that we don't chastise our children like they do. But when they come to America, they don't chastise their children as bad as we do because their child is either an illegal immigrant and they risk the chance of their child calling 911. So what you saying? Are you saying Caribbean people don't beat their children? That's a lie. West Indian parents beat their kids more than Americans. I know that for a fact. Hell yeah, with a wooden spoon.
Starting point is 00:39:52 Y'all believe that? Oh, I'm American, and my daughter will definitely let you know that I'm taxing that behind. Well, you ain't taxing like a West Indian. Well, I'm not going to lie. My mom really didn't beat us growing up. My dad, on the other hand, yes. My mom, not really.
Starting point is 00:40:05 My wife told me stories of extension cords, belts, all types of things that I was like, geez. As a matter of fact, my Chinese side of the family was a lot more into that. They used to get beat. And her mother's half Jamaican, half Chinese, so she whooped her ass. Well, we do beat our children. We are not lazy. And it is no, oh, you could go outside afterwards.
Starting point is 00:40:26 My daughter's 23 years old, and she'll let you know. My mother's tear that ass. Now, I've always had the stereotype that West Indian people have lots of jobs, not that they're lazy. And that they don't eat pom-poms. Yeah, and Jamaicans, that's the biggest lie out there, that Jamaican men don't eat pom-pom. That's right, though. I know plenty of girls that have sat on Jamaican men's beards. My goodness, man.
Starting point is 00:40:45 Hello, who's this? Yo, what's up? This is Rick from VA. Rick, what up, man? Is it a stereotype if it's true? And what are some popular stereotypes this morning, man? All right. I think it's true.
Starting point is 00:40:56 Because, one, I think everybody's tripping. We all watched the Proud Family like a few years ago and knew that homegirl was named D.J. Nay and all her family members were named after different spices. That was true. We all know people like that.
Starting point is 00:41:09 And another popular stereotype, and this one is true as well, everybody with the nickname Junebug has been in and out of jail at least once. You said Junebug. Junebug.
Starting point is 00:41:17 Envy has a Junebug that works with him. No, I didn't mean Junebug. I said June. Has he been in jail? No, no. Junebug has definitely been in jail.
Starting point is 00:41:24 No, no. Junebug has been in jail? Nah, nah. Junebug has definitely been in jail. Nah, nah. June hasn't been in jail. Well, nothing big. Okay. Junebug. All right. Thank you, man.
Starting point is 00:41:34 But like I said, man, you change the way you look at things and things you look at change. Like, stop making people, stop making society think that your name is crazy if your name is just unique. Hello? And by the way, it's a lot of uniques in the hood. Hello? Hello is good. What's up, man? We're talking popular stereotypes.
Starting point is 00:41:47 I know. Black people got the weirdest name. I know there's one family. Stop calling them weird, bro. They're unique. All right. Unique. Unique names.
Starting point is 00:41:55 All right. So look. The family name, the kid's name, the son's name was last name Jones. Middle name Blackman. First name Unique. So his name was Unique Blackman Jones. And his sister's name. There's a lot of uniques in the hood. Didn't I just tell you that's what's not a stereotype? If it's true, first name Unique. So his name was Unique Blackman Jones. And his sister's name. There's a lot of Uniques in there.
Starting point is 00:42:07 Didn't I just tell you that's what's not a stereotype? It's true. I just told you. But listen, but listen, but listen to his sister's name. His sister's name was Kasia Monet Jones. So Kasia Monet Jones. Crazy. This is my thing.
Starting point is 00:42:20 We got to stop. We got to stop looking at our names and saying that our names look crazy and start looking at people with plain names like they're crazy. Why you just going to name your child something plain like Paul? You know what I'm saying? You just going to name your child something plain like Alex. A lot of them are biblical names that come out the Bible. Well, fine.
Starting point is 00:42:37 A lot of basic-ass names in the Bible, okay? Ain't no Beyonce in the Bible. Ain't no Oprah in the Bible. Ain't no Solange in the Bible. But there's plenty Johns. Okay? All right, I'm married. What's the moral of the story, you jerk?
Starting point is 00:42:50 A Jacob. All right? The moral of the story is the problem with stereotypes isn't that they're inaccurate, but they're incomplete. They don't tell the whole story. And stereotypes lose their power when the world is found to be more complex than the stereotypes suggest, okay? I don't have a problem with unique names. I actually like unique names. I don't like basic-ass names.
Starting point is 00:43:11 I'd rather be an Aaliyah than a Martha. Some of those names are beautiful. Kalani, that's a beautiful name. Oh, yes. Give me a Kalani over a Sarah any day, all right? You need to ask your parents why they ain't had no damn imagination. I ain't gonna lie.
Starting point is 00:43:23 Back then when I was a kid, Rashawn was a tough name. Everybody pronounced it wrong. My name wouldn't fit on the Scantron. It was a tough one. I'd rather have a Kanye than a Carl. Okay. I like a unique name.
Starting point is 00:43:36 All right. My kids got unique names. We got rumors on the way. Angela. Yes, we're going to talk about Chance the Rapper. We got some great news about what he's doing. Also, Chris Brown, Chris Brown, and more Chris Brown. We'll tell you who wept for Chris Brown.
Starting point is 00:43:48 Okay, we'll get into all that when we come back. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Listen up. It's just in. All the gossip. Gossip.
Starting point is 00:43:56 The Rumor Report. Gossip. Gossip. With Angela Yee. It's The Rumor Report. The Breakfast Club. Well, Chance the Rapper, we all know that he met with the governor of Illinois to ask about funding for Chicago public schools. He says, you know, they've cut $215 million to Chicago public schools.
Starting point is 00:44:14 So Chance the Rapper has taken it into his own hands because he didn't feel like the meeting went too well. He felt it was very vague. There were no solutions offered. Here's what Chance the Rapper had to say as he cut that school district a $1 million check. Wow. I'm proud to announce that I am donating $1 million to CPS. I'm excited to share that this donation was made possible by my fans. Through ticket sales for my upcoming tour and an unprecedented coordination from Live Nation and AEG and
Starting point is 00:44:46 Ticketmaster, Compete Incorporation, if you guys didn't know. Also with independent promoters and venues across the country to use funds from ticket sales to donate in the CPS. That's dope. Drop on the Clues Bomb for Chance the Rapper. God, I love that. That's dope.
Starting point is 00:45:01 Don't just talk about it, be about it. Now that money is going to come from ticket sales from an upcoming tour. Here's what else Chance the Rapper had to say about his donation. Governor Rauner broke his promise to Chicago's children a few months ago as a result of an admitted emotional reaction when he vetoed the $215 million in funding that Chicago schools were counting on to close out the school year. Illinois currently ranks dead last when it comes to funding public education. With the stroke of the pen, the governor has the power to change that. You know, it always bugs me out when you hear about these things all across the country,
Starting point is 00:45:36 when you hear about them cutting funds for public schools or cutting funds for the rec centers and the libraries, or even when they cut the police force in half. Like, what are you spending money on? Do you really want to correct the problem? So you can't tell me everybody always talks about how bad the violence in Chicago is. You cannot tell me that's not all directly related to the fact that these kids don't have any funding
Starting point is 00:45:58 for their public school system or after school programs. It's not all directly related to it. I mean, it's part of it. Definitely, definitely. But they spend a lot of money on other things, like moving the president around costs millions and millions of dollars. His crib right here in New York City, just to secure that home because his family doesn't want to move to the White House, costs millions and millions of dollars. Yeah, I mean, that's definitely part of the problem in Chicago.
Starting point is 00:46:17 Because, I mean, you got schools all across the country whose public schools aren't getting proper funding who don't have the violence that Chicago has. Well, this is dead last. They're dead last when it comes to funding for their public schools. So in addition to that, they said not just the state of Illinois, but Chicago students are getting less money than everybody else. They don't even get the same funding that every other student in that state gets that they're entitled to receive. So there's definitely a correlation there.
Starting point is 00:46:41 Yeah, absolutely. It's definitely part of the problem, but it's not the whole problem. It's definitely part of the problem. Well, it's definitely directly related to what's going on in Chicago. You girls have been so... I mean, you can't tell me that's not related. I didn't say it wasn't. Alright, now Chrissy Teigen has
Starting point is 00:46:56 been talking about her postpartum depression and a lot of people didn't know that she was suffering from this and hopefully this will affect other people, but she says that it was very difficult for her to even get out of bed. This is an article she did for Glamour magazine. She was on the cover. She said, my lower back throbbed, my shoulders, even my wrists hurt.
Starting point is 00:47:13 I didn't have an appetite. I would go two days without a bite of food, and you know how big of a deal food is for me. She also said she was a lot more moody and emotional than before she became a mom. She said, one thing that really got me was just how short I was with people. I would be in my dressing room, sitting in a robe, getting hair and makeup done, and a crew member would knock on the door and ask, Chrissy, do you know the lyrics to this song? And I would lose it. Or, Chrissy, do you like these cat ears or these pantyhands?
Starting point is 00:47:35 And I'd be like, whatever you want, I don't care. She said then she would burst into tears and her makeup artist would pat them dry and give her a few minutes. But she did say that her husband, John Legend, has been her biggest supporter and she wants people to know that postpartum depression does exist and that it does not discriminate. Yeah, a lot of women go through that. Thank God my wife didn't go through that. But a lot of women I see go through that. And it's hard and difficult for a lot of women. A lot of women don't even want to be around their children at that time. Some people don't even know
Starting point is 00:47:59 that they're suffering. She didn't even know what it was. She just thought she was just outgrowing her role at lip sync battle. She didn't know what was happening, but it was postpartum depression. Alright, now what is going on with this whole money team SUV that was burned outside the club while Floyd Mayweather was in the
Starting point is 00:48:17 VIP section in the UK? Well, what people are saying now, a source is saying that some women accepted Floyd's invitation to go join him inside the club and their boyfriends were upset. There you go. What I said yesterday. There you go. What I said yesterday.
Starting point is 00:48:34 I said that people feel floss in the UK and stunt on us. Okay, watch this. The girls went to spend the evening with Mayweather and did not hear what their boyfriends thought. Oh, boy. Next thing you know, one car was, you know, bricks thrown through the window. Hey, man. What else? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:54 And then they set that car on fire. Drop one of Clues bombs for them boyfriends, man. Don't stop it. I ain't mad at that. You want to come to my city and just steal my girl? Okay, watch this. That's about 25 women. 25, wow.
Starting point is 00:49:07 That he went with him. They went getting in the club. Hey, man, listen. I have no problem with that whatsoever. Floyd Mayweather want to pull up in people's cities, flossing, stunting, stealing people's women. No, that's not right. Watch me blow up the van.
Starting point is 00:49:18 It could have been worse. That's not right. That wasn't probably even his van. That's probably a promotional van over there or something over there. Floyd Mayweather in town, and it's a van outside that says TMT. Wow, who could this belong to? Let me blow this up, damn it. All right, well, that's an unfortunate situation.
Starting point is 00:49:34 And I'm Angela Yee, and that's your rumor report. It is unfortunate. It's unfortunate that people with money think they can just steal your girl. Oh, stop it. It's unfortunate they blew up his car, man. I mean, be mad at your girlfriends for accepting that invite to go in the club. Not his car. All right.
Starting point is 00:49:49 I don't see the problem. No, you don't. Charlemagne. Yes. Who you throwing that donkey to? Dr. Ben Carson. We'd like for him to come to the front of the congregation. We'd like to have a word with him.
Starting point is 00:49:58 Donald Trump's Negro whisperer. All right. That none of the Negroes listen to. We'll get into that when we come back. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Charlemagne, say the gang.
Starting point is 00:50:08 Don't get out of shape. Charlemagne. You are a donkey. It's time for Donkey of the Day. Donkey of the Day does not discriminate. I might not have the song of the day, but I got the donkey of the day. So if you ever feel I need to be a donkey, man, hit me with the heat. It's the Breakfast club, bitch.
Starting point is 00:50:26 Who's donkey of the day today? Well, Mr. Ed Sheeran, donkey of the day for Tuesday, March 7th goes to Dr. Ben Carson. I don't even know what Dr. Ben Carson's title is. I think it's the head of Donald Trump's Urban Affairs, Donald Trump's Negro Whisperer that none of the Negroes listen to. What's his title? Oh, I found it. United States Secretary of House Negroes and Urban Development. Now, Ben Carson was addressing employees at the Department of House Negroes and Urban Development on Monday,
Starting point is 00:50:52 and he decided to give people a revisionist history lesson about slavery. Let's hear what Ben had to say. That's what America is about, a land of dreams and opportunity. There were other immigrants who came here, and the bottom of slave ships worked even longer, even harder for less. But they too had a dream that one day their sons, daughters, grandsons, granddaughters, great-grandsons, great-granddaughters might pursue prosperity and happiness in this land. And do you know of all the nations in the world,
Starting point is 00:51:24 the United States of America is the only one big enough and great enough to allow all those people to realize their dream. Ben, who are these alternative immigrants you speak of? Or is it alternative slavery you're speaking of? You know, just to play white devil's advocate. Dr. Ben Carson never claimed to be a historian. He's a neurosurgeon. Clearly, history wasn't his strong point. I mean, seriously, does Dr. Ben Carson look like he ever stepped foot in an African-American
Starting point is 00:51:53 studies class? When I first heard these statements from Dr. Ben Carson, I said to myself, number one, this is absolutely a time to slander Dr. Ben Carson. But number two, it's also a time to teach because what's dangerous about this situation is it's a lot of young people in particular who may not know the history of slavery in America. I know that sounds far-fetched to say, but whenever I hear people liking certain things to slavery, like the music industry or corporate America or the NBA or NFL, I say to myself, y'all must've forgot exactly what slavery was. Remember Kanye's new slave record, huh? Y'all remember that? Well, I can't think of any slaves who got
Starting point is 00:52:27 million-dollar contracts and million-dollar endorsement deals, okay? In the words of my friend Angela Rye, slaves built this joint for free, okay? Not for less, Ben Carson. For free. It's a huge difference between servitude and providing a service, okay? If you work in corporate America,
Starting point is 00:52:44 you are providing a service to a corporation and you get paid for it. Slaves were in servitude, bondage, enslavement, working for nothing in the worst possible condition. So yes, I hate when people compare anything to slavery because it's just not accurate. Now, back to Dr. Ben Carson. He was on somebody's radio show.
Starting point is 00:52:59 I don't know who this Negro was. And they were explaining the word immigrant. Let's hear it. What you're saying is that anybody who's come from a foreign place is an immigrant. Of course, yeah. Yes, and they were. And everybody in that auditorium, they knew exactly what I was saying. Yes.
Starting point is 00:53:16 You're moving the goalposts, man. See, here's the problem. There's a huge difference between voluntary immigration and involuntary servitude. Okay, slaves didn't come over here willingly looking for a better life. They were kidnapped, human trafficking, enforced into slavery, okay? They were involuntary immigrants. I shouldn't have to explain to anyone that, yeah, we might be immigrants, but we didn't come willingly, okay?
Starting point is 00:53:37 We didn't want to be in the bottom of slave ships packed on top of each other. And I hate when Dr. Ben Carson says the united states of america is the only one big enough and great enough to allow allow all those people to realize their dream can we play that part of the clip again the united states of america is the only one big enough and great enough to allow all those people to realize their dream. Ben. Ben. Ben. America didn't allow anything. Okay, people had to fight for the right to be considered equal.
Starting point is 00:54:11 Do we even have to have a civil rights lesson right now? People had to escape slavery and revolt against slavery. Then they had to march and fight during the civil rights era, fight against segregation. America didn't allow anything. And that dream of prosperity you speak of That people wanted for their kids and grandkids You damn right, if I was getting raped and beaten And forced to work against my will
Starting point is 00:54:32 I would hope and pray my kids didn't have to go through that Ben Carson clearly does not know the history of African Americans in this country Like, he can't He's the same guy who once compared Obamacare to slavery He said Obamacare was the worst thing since slavery, which lets me know that some people, as I said earlier, truly don't understand the severity of slavery. Now, trust me, Dr. Ben Carson has truly earned his donkey of the day. But what sealed the deal for him was what he posted on Facebook to try to clear it up. He wrote the slave narrative and immigrant narrative are two entirely different experiences.
Starting point is 00:55:03 Slaves were ripped from their families and their homes and forced against their will after being sold into slavery by slave traders. The immigrants made the choice to come to America. They saw this country as a land of opportunity. In contrast, slaves were forced here against their will and lost all their opportunities. We continue
Starting point is 00:55:20 to live with that legacy. This is Dr. Ben Carson speaking. He continues to say the two experiences should never be intertwined nor forgotten. Okay, let's stop right there. I can't stand when somebody does something and then tells me
Starting point is 00:55:32 after the fact that what they did shouldn't ever be done. Yes, you're right, Ben. Slavery and immigration, the two experiences should never be intertwined, Negro. We know this, okay?
Starting point is 00:55:42 That's why people are slandering you because clearly you don't know the difference. And if you did, you would never fix your mouth to spew the nonsense you said yesterday. Please give the Secretary of House Negroes and Urban Development Dr. Ben Carson the biggest hee-haw, please.
Starting point is 00:55:56 Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Well, thank you for that donkey of the day. Now, when we come back, 800-585-1051. tomorrow is a day without a woman. That's right. Now, what does that mean? Because, like, does that mean Gia can't help around the house?
Starting point is 00:56:12 Does that mean no sex tomorrow? What does that specifically mean? Boy, it ain't about you. Stop being selfish. I'm just asking. It has nothing to do with your house. Listen, a day without a woman is going to show the role that women play in the domestic and global economy. It brings attention to lower wages, sexual harassment, discrimination, and job insecurity that women face a lot oftentimes more than men do in this country.
Starting point is 00:56:34 So what's the call to action? What exactly is the call to action? Now, this all came out of the Women's March that went down. This is one of the calls to action. They are doing a day without a woman. So women are encouraged to take the day off from paid or unpaid labor. Don't shop for that one day unless you're going to a small women or minority owned business.
Starting point is 00:56:52 And wear red because that color signifies love and sacrifice and it's the color of energy and action. So what if you can't take off your job? Obviously you can't take off if you don't have the luxury of doing that. Just wear red. Still go to work but just support the movement as far as what businesses you're going to that day.
Starting point is 00:57:08 Don't spend your dollars in these huge... Wait, you're not coming to work tomorrow? No, I won't be here tomorrow. Who's doing the rumors? You are, like you do when I'm not here. So if I see any women out in the street tomorrow and they're not dressed in red, I can say sell out? No, you don't have to do that. And men can support this movement as well.
Starting point is 00:57:24 It doesn't just have to be women. Men can also support and participate as far as where you're spending your dollars as a consumer, you know, wearing red to show support and just supporting those women around you that are very vital to our economy and to our lives. So what happens at home? I don't know what happens at home. Man, if you don't stop worrying about home. This is a bigger movement than just what's going on for you at home.
Starting point is 00:57:45 Yesterday, Gia stepped out for an hour and Jackson graffitied all over my wall. I need help at home. Well, Dyfus needs to come visit you because I hear some child neglect. There's no child neglect in there. If one parent not home and a two-year-old can run crazy for an hour, something's not right. He run crazy for a whole hour. Well, tomorrow is also International Women's Day as well. Just so you know.
Starting point is 00:58:06 And this whole thing was inspired by February 16th when they did Day Without an Immigrant Strike. Well, let the record show I own every season of Girlfriends on DVD. What does that mean? And girls. Just want to put that out there. What does that mean? I don't know. All right.
Starting point is 00:58:20 So, 800-585-1051. Tomorrow is a day without a woman. What are you going to do to show51. Tomorrow is a day without a woman. What are you going to do to show your support tomorrow for a day without a woman? And for women, if you're not going to work or if you are going to work, what are you going to do to support? Call us up and let us know your thoughts. But women can still help at home, though, right? Man, if you don't shut up tomorrow.
Starting point is 00:58:38 I would also think, Envy, that you shouldn't even want Gia to have to do anything at home tomorrow for one day. Because she does a lot all the time. So for one day, maybe you can function and run the household. Clearly, you couldn't do it for an hour. Exactly. That's my point. If I couldn't do it for an hour. Well, maybe you need to get the guys together to come and help you.
Starting point is 00:59:00 Charlamagne, you want to come over and help? I got a wife and two kids at home, bro. What you talking about? See, you don't want to help. Nope. All I got a wife and two kids at home, bro. What you talking about? See, he don't want to help. Nope. All right. But for you guys, support your women tomorrow, please. Even if you're at home and you see Envy's helpless and clueless, you know.
Starting point is 00:59:14 Help. Just for that one day. All right. 800-585-1051. What are you doing to help? Call us now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:59:21 The Breakfast Club. Charlamagne, what are you doing to support? I mean, I don't really understand what the call to action is yet. I'm trying to figure out what it is I can do to support. I mean, I think right now. What she just told you. I did. Okay, well, I'm going to wear red.
Starting point is 00:59:36 But I think right now one of our greatest services that we can do is just getting the word out about it. I mean, that's what we have platforms for. And you can shop at any type of business that a woman owns or any minority-owned business as well. Well, I definitely always shop at black-owned businesses. That's not a problem.
Starting point is 00:59:52 Well, she said women. She said women and minority. Or minority. Or minority. I didn't hear her say minority. I didn't hear her say minority. But, you know, you can take to social media or you can, this would be a great day
Starting point is 01:00:02 for you to donate to any type of charities that are supportive of women's rights and women's organizations. Anything that you can, this would be a great day for you to donate to any type of charities that are supportive of women's rights and women's organizations. Anything that you can do tomorrow. All right. I got a house full of women. Does that count?
Starting point is 01:00:12 No. Nothing I do at home counts, right? Well, then you should be doing all the work tomorrow. I am. Okay. All right. Well, hello, who's this?
Starting point is 01:00:19 Joski. Joski. Now, tomorrow's a day without a woman. What are you doing to support, bro? Man, I'm going to sit in my mother's house sad as ****.
Starting point is 01:00:27 What? What? Without women, we ain't ****, man. You feel me? Stop cursing, man. Nah, he right, though. He right. Imagine her holding a chick for nine months, man.
Starting point is 01:00:35 Imagine her bleeding for seven days every month, man. We got to give these women props, man. Well, don't sit in the house sad, though. Get out and do something to show some support. That would be a more positive thing to do. I don't want to sit at home sad tomorrow. That's why it always tripped me out when people would act like a woman wouldn't make a good president because women have been the CEOs of our life from day one.
Starting point is 01:00:52 Whether it's your mom, your grandma, your aunts. Hello, who's this? This is CJ. Hey, CJ. Tomorrow's a day without a woman. What are you doing tomorrow? I'm still going to go to work, especially since black women, we already earn less than white women anyway, so I just don't agree with that.
Starting point is 01:01:11 But especially like this whole feminist movement that a lot of black women love to participate in, like first before you start helping out your Caucasians, just get yourself together first and make sure that you're earning just as much if not more than them, especially since black women, you know, we hold the most degrees in this country more than white men, black men, and as well as white women, but I don't think we get the credit that we deserve.
Starting point is 01:01:34 Sound like you need a day off to me, boo. Yeah, just take a day off, mama. What are your plans for tomorrow, though, specifically? I'm going to take my black ass to work, and I'm going to go to class after that so I can get my bachelor's degree. Alright, mama. Do what you gotta do. Alright, and one thing I want to
Starting point is 01:01:50 suggest that we do, and I know this wasn't part of the call to action, but when I went with my friends to the Women's March, I said, how about we spend the day not being negative at all? Not saying negative things about each other, not posting nasty comments, just have a day of positivity. Not having those negative thoughts, it actually is very refreshing.
Starting point is 01:02:06 You know, sometimes you see something or you want to say something crazy about somebody. Just don't gossip with your friends. Don't talk negatively. Just for one day. But on Thursday, get back to the cattiness. Well, it might actually make you want to make a change in your life in general when you see how good it feels.
Starting point is 01:02:20 Matter of fact, all the women that want to stop by the juice bar on Malcolm X Boulevard, I'll pay for the juice. What? Yes. Why didn't you just say, I'll give you free juice, you own the spot? No, I'm going to pay for it. Well, somebody got to pay for it still.
Starting point is 01:02:33 We're not just going to give it away. I didn't approve it with the partners. I'm saying that I will pay for it. Oh, okay. That's the difference. It's going to come out of his pocket. It's still paid for. Yeah, it's going to come out of my pocket. We're a small minority owned business.
Starting point is 01:02:41 Is it one of your partners, a woman? Angela Yee. Yes, and I will be there tomorrow. They'll give out that free juice. Yeah, that's what I just said. For all women coming to the juice bar tomorrow, they'll get a free juice. Ladies, it's open bar tomorrow. Hello, who's this?
Starting point is 01:02:56 Doris, like Doris Day. All right, how you doing? Let me do a post about this. Calm down. Don't go too crazy. Don't go too crazy. Now, tomorrow is a day without a woman. What are you doing?
Starting point is 01:03:07 So, because of where it's coming from and the point of view, it seems so misguided. I'm not going to support it. What is it coming from? Okay, this whole anti- Trump point of view is not going to get
Starting point is 01:03:24 us to a point where we can solve the problems in America. Well, this doesn't have anything to do with Donald Trump. The march itself started from that point of view, and the Day Without Immigrants started from that point of view, and this is another march. Well, at Day Without a
Starting point is 01:03:40 Woman, when Tamika Mallory was up here, they made it very clear that it wasn't an anti- Trump march. It was a march that was supportive of women. And I was actually there, and it was really positive. There were no incidents of anything. It wasn't an anti-Trump movement. It was a pro-women movement to talk about financial empowerment and how women don't make the same amount of money that men do
Starting point is 01:03:59 and about sexual harassment in the workplace. Yeah, but I think Trump symbolized a lot of the misogyny and chauvinism that they was already fighting against anyway. And against the it's just so, and a lot of the groups and a lot of the people that I actually protest with and a lot of the people that I do outreach with, they're all
Starting point is 01:04:18 like, they went to the marches and they're, and I respect their, you know, their passion, but a lot of it's coming from, you know, underlying anti-Trump. And I feel like we're getting off topic in a slow but sure way. And I just, I absolutely support the idea. I'm just worried about it constantly coming from that point of view. Well, I think that if anything positive can come out of something that is negative,
Starting point is 01:04:45 because this is people trying to make something positive happen. I think I support. I understand if you don't want to support it, but I definitely support it. And I was there and I felt all the love from everybody. It was a day where there was no incidents. Everybody was showing each other love. It was really positive. And what they are standing for are things that I all agree with.
Starting point is 01:05:02 That same spirit of making sure that women, showing that women are a huge part of our socioeconomic system is a big deal. And also, again, tomorrow, you know, to all my women tomorrow,
Starting point is 01:05:11 if you go by our juice bar that's located on 277 Malcolm X Boulevard. I'm going to post it. Don't you worry. Don't you post it. Go to Malcolm X Boulevard and if you want a juice,
Starting point is 01:05:19 I will pay for your juice. It's on me. Hold on. We got this. And also, too, man, for everybody that's participating in the woman's day off tomorrow. Is that the exact title?
Starting point is 01:05:29 It's not called a women's day off. It's a day without a woman. Alright, a day without a woman. For everybody who's participating in a day without a woman, don't worry about who's not participating. In the Bible, whenever God would have his prophets speak to people, he never said make them understand. He just said to tell them. And that's what Noah did.
Starting point is 01:05:45 Noah told them, hey, it's about to rain. I'm building this up. You want on? You know, if you're not coming on, cool. Well, 800-585-1051. Tomorrow is a day without a woman. What are you doing? Call us up.
Starting point is 01:05:55 It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Tomorrow is a day without a woman. We're asking, what are you guys doing? That is the question. Now, up here, Angela Yee is not going to work. Yeah, I won't be here. I will be at our small minority-owned business tomorrow.
Starting point is 01:06:08 And all women who go to that juice bar tomorrow, 277 Malcolm X Boulevard in Brooklyn, juice on me. And listen, what's wrong with taking the day off? Right. Some people can't. Some people can't afford to take the day off. That's true.
Starting point is 01:06:21 And listen, there's nothing wrong with that. There's nothing wrong if you feel like you got to go to work and for whatever reason, you know, definitely try to support the day off. That's true. There's nothing wrong with that. There's nothing wrong if you feel like you gotta go to work and for whatever reason, you know, definitely try to support however you can, whether you post something about it, whether you go to lunch at a place that is a minority owned or a woman owned business, anything that you can do to be helpful. By the way,
Starting point is 01:06:37 though, if you get the word out enough and all these businesses know that it is a day without a woman, it could be a lot of discrimination lawsuits had if you don't let your female employees take off. And I just want to shout out to Thea, our program director up here.
Starting point is 01:06:53 She actually called me with Angie Martinez and said, listen, Wednesday is a day without a woman. What are your plans for that day? And I told her I wasn't planning to come in to show my support and she was totally for it. She'll be here, though. By the way, if Thea was a CO, she wouldn't have called you. Hello, who's this?
Starting point is 01:07:12 Hi, my name is Aoife Shawn. I'm from Jacksonville. How are you doing? Good morning. Hello, Aoife Shawn. We'll be in Jacksonville on Thursday, me and DJ Envy. What? Oh, man, I won't be able to come out.
Starting point is 01:07:22 I'm on mommy duty right now. You know how that is. You can't get no sitter for Thursday? I wouldn't give up my... I don't know. You know, I... You don't got to give your child up. I got to be with the babies, y'all.
Starting point is 01:07:32 Angela, you don't do me like that, sis. Okay, all right. I'm trying to be a good mom. There you go. Trying to be a good mom. You got to try to be a good mom. She is a good mom. I will be doing my duty.
Starting point is 01:07:43 I'll be taking care of my children and uplifting my king, which is what I would suggest that all women of color do. This is, Annalie, I love you, baby. But this is, once again, we're being brought into a battle that's not ours. We did this in the 60s with the feminist movement, and it didn't help us. And here we are again fighting someone else's war. I feel like personally the way that we can highlight our feminism, highlight and celebrate womanhood, there's no better way than taking care of our babies and uplifting our black men and working on our male-female relationships
Starting point is 01:08:16 and getting our stuff together. Because we've tried this integration and it doesn't work. Wait, you can still take care. Nobody said don't take care of your kids for the day now. No, I'm not saying that. I'm saying a long-term solution. A long-term solution that will yield results as far as to really go in
Starting point is 01:08:33 on our love for each other and working on our relationship. I'm saying that I don't want black women to get, not only black women, women of color to get distracted by movements that have traditionally never served us. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it women of color to get distracted by movements that have traditionally never served us. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it women of color spearheading this movement?
Starting point is 01:08:49 I see Tamika Mallory, I see Linda Sarsour, I see Carmen Perez. Those are the ones I see spearheading this movement. Yeah, they are actually the ones that are spearheading this. That's why they're saying to shop at minority-owned and women-owned businesses. Oh, well, y'all schooling me then. Yeah. There you go. That's where it actually came from. It is for women of color. Yeah, the first person I heard talk about it was Tamika Mallory.
Starting point is 01:09:06 Well, that's what's up there. You schooled me. Well, take the day off, Mama. Enjoy the day. She don't work anyway. Likewise. You all take care, okay? Love you all. Alright, we love you too. She does have a job. Hello, who's this? Hi, my name's Breonna and I was talking about the Without a Woman Tomorrow. What are you doing
Starting point is 01:09:22 tomorrow then? You know, I gotta go to school. I'm in law school. And they don't need a day without, you know, the few black women who are there. But I'm going to be wearing my ring. All right. You get in there. Represent for us. No, yeah.
Starting point is 01:09:32 Because we need more black lawyers. We definitely need more black lawyers. Yeah, represent. And more black judges. But y'all get through every morning. So thanks for being here every morning. We might need you as a lawyer one day. So, Yee, what's the moral of the story?
Starting point is 01:09:43 Let's ask Yee. Oh. I mean, the moral of the story is Let's ask Yee. Oh, I mean, the moral of the story is no matter what you can do to support, even if you end up having to go to work, even if you stay home from work,
Starting point is 01:09:51 whatever it is that you can do to support tomorrow, just make sure you do. Whether that means you wear red, whether that means you spend the day, you know,
Starting point is 01:09:57 shopping or eating at a minority-owned or a woman-owned business, and even if you're a man, support your women as well because women do make the world go around. That's right.
Starting point is 01:10:05 Be a real man and go buy your girl some tampons today so she don't have to go out and get them tomorrow. All right. Well, there you go. All right. And also, again,
Starting point is 01:10:13 the juice bar that we own on Malcolm X Boulevard in Brooklyn for all my females, all my women, all my ladies, if you go to that bar. You call them females? You just call women females?
Starting point is 01:10:22 If you go to that juice bar, drinks on me tomorrow. All right? I'm doing a post for it. Don't do a post. I didn't say do a post. I just said say it. I'm going to give you some money, and that way it's all on me.
Starting point is 01:10:34 Don't do a post, but tell millions of people on the radio. Boy, you Negroes really be making sense, don't y'all? Nope. Well, we got one more. Yes, we are going to talk about Chris Brown versus Soulja Boy. Wendy Williams shed some tears for Chris Brown as well. Plus, we'll talk about Roc Nation and their new venture. We'll tell you what it's called and what the plan is.
Starting point is 01:10:51 Okay, we'll get into that when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee. Rumor has it. On The Breakfast Club. So listen up. While Wendy Williams was talking about Chris Brown in her Hot Topic segment, and here's what she had to say
Starting point is 01:11:11 about his alleged drug allegations. And I think there are a lot of people in this camp enjoying this viralization. And his mother, who he watched allegedly get beat up by his stepdad when he was growing up, you know, he hasn't gained her strength or her respect from him i mean he gets has nobody in his life you know there has to be somebody you're scared of and that has to do nothing with money it has to do with like oh i
Starting point is 01:11:36 don't want to shame the family's name or i gotta pull it together just for this and i think all the positive influences are gone and this is not the positive influence's fault. Because when you are a drug addict, the only one that can help you is you. All right. She got really choked up while she was talking about Chris Brown. She would know. She was a drug addict before. Yeah, Wendy's had her issues with drugs. Now, this video was posted on the Shade Room, and Chris Brown actually left a comment.
Starting point is 01:12:00 He put, wow, Wendy. So I don't know. That's it? Yeah, that's all he wrote. You're not even going to deny nothing? It's just wow, Wendy. So I don't know. That's it? Yeah, that's all he wrote. You're not even going to deny nothing? It's just wow, Wendy? Wow. She's like, wow, how do you know all that information?
Starting point is 01:12:11 All right, now Soulja Boy versus Chris Brown. Soulja Boy was on stage performing in Minneapolis and he had these things to say about the fight not happening with Chris Brown anymore. He said, okay, Soulja Boy, I'm signing the contract. I'm going to fight you. The whole mother****** might worry with Chris Brown anymore. If Donald Trump was to ban all them Negroes, I wouldn't give a damn. I'm going to be honest with y'all. Chris Brown responded.
Starting point is 01:12:55 He left a comment on this video also. It was on Baller Alert. He said, no need for me to disrespect this person any further. He's hyped up as well as the issue. The opportunity to embarrass and do harm to him isn't even funny anymore. I backed out of the public fight because the money location and the fact that the real promoters
Starting point is 01:13:08 were spooked by gang members who wanted to profit off of it. No charity and no point in going through with it. I set up a private gym and he didn't show up so there is nothing more to say. It's not going to happen
Starting point is 01:13:17 and we really know the truth here, love. Maybe we can do a nice fair swap. Maybe it's a nice Muslim person out there who can't get back in the country who we can trade for Soulja Boy.
Starting point is 01:13:26 All right. And Jay-Z has announced Arrive. That's a new company that Roc Nation has to invest in startups. Is it like an Uber or Lyft? That sounds like an Uber or Lyft service. No, it's a platform that's going to focus on startup companies that they feel like have potential that are promising. So they're going to, it says in the statement, Arrive was created to leverage our experience and resources in building brands, developing consumer-facing businesses,
Starting point is 01:13:50 managing artists, and representing athletes. We've opened that diversified global range of expertise to a new vertical, entrepreneurs, and their early-stage businesses. So basically, they're investing in these new startup companies. I'm going to drop on the clues bombs for Hoaf. So it's almost like a shock take, where they're going to be investing in small businesses, taking a percentage.
Starting point is 01:14:05 That's dope. Yeah. Always doing something for the culture. All right. Well, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your rumor report. All right.
