God, Greg, what kind of show is this? Let's not listen to this stuff. The Breakfast Club with DJ Envy, the captain of this bitch.

With Angela Yee, the only one who can keep these guys in check. With Charlamagne Tha God. I'm a lovable asshole. And this is The Breakfast Club, bitches. Good morning, Angela Yee. Good morning, DJ Envy. Charlamagne Tha God. Peace to the planet. Oh, Lord.

No, he's not having it. Guess what day it is. Guess what day it is. A little early. I ain't got my headphones on. He almost had it. He said, guess what day? Hope. Day was a little off.

All right. Damn it, man. Oh, man. He almost had it. Hold on a second. He'll get it. He almost had it. He was there.

He was prepared. He threw the alley. He threw the alley. He almost had it. He was there. He was prepared. He threw the alley. He threw the alley. He just threw it way too early. He threw it a little too early. You didn't even jump yet. You didn't even jump yet. We'll get it next time.

Well, I'm excited today. Why? You know, I started a book club, so I got these. My first book is Taraji P. Henson's Around the Way Girl. It's her memoirs. Okay. And I got my autographed books that I'm giving away for people in the book club. You signed it yourself?

No, Taraji signed it. Why the hell would Angie sign Taraji's book? Why would I sign Taraji's book? She didn't say she signed it. I said I just got these autographed books. Oh, can I have one? Why would I get them if I... Can I have one?

No, you didn't join the book club. It's not for you. You don't even read. Yeah, you wouldn't even read it. And you're the type to listen to an audio book but then put your headphones on and listen to your music at the same time. Sounds like me. Here's another good book, Green Smoothies for Life.

I'll read that one. That's like green eggs in there. Oh, my God. All right. I've been sitting on Taraji's book for a long time, by the way. I've been meant to read that. Oh, I read it already. It's good.

I love the story that she tells, because you don't know how did Taraji P. Henson get into the career that she's into. How did it all go down? All the struggles that she went through to get there. It's a great read. She talks about having a son and her son's father who was killed. She talks about her relationship with her dad. Sounds interesting. She talks about how she ended up in the Malcolm X movie as well,

which a lot of people probably didn't know. Yeah, because she probably was like six. No, she wasn't. Oh, she was in Michael Mex. She was in college. In college? Yeah, she was going to college. She told us that story. How she drove down there crazy and all that. She told us. How did we hear this story? I told you. Oh, you told us this story.

Taraji ain't never been here. I know somebody told us that story. I told you guys from the book. I thought it was very inspirational what she went through. I'll be forgetting Taraji and OG. Now, also last night was our Christmas holiday party, which seemed like it was extremely early this year. Good. We old, okay?

We got it out of the way. And plus, I have like 20 of them to go to next week. I'm glad we got ours out of the way. I like early parties. I like when a party starts at 6, 7. It was also a goodbye party to our producer, Q, who's been with us for six years. He is leaving.

Boo! Now, I posted a picture with Q. Q and I have never, ever taken a picture before. And I got some interesting comments because I said,

you know, we're saying goodbye to our longtime producer who's been with us since we started. He's been at iHeart for 15 years. Right.

And one person thought that he was just Envy's friend. Oh. He used to host just my friend all the time. He just sits next to him in the cut all the time.

Envy's shooter. If anybody needed somebody to be sitting behind him in the cut, it would be me on this show. Yeah, pretty much. Now, I said that he's leaving to pursue his passion. Which is Chick-fil-A. He's going to open up a Chick-fil-A, ladies and gentlemen.

Drop one of Clues Bombs. We're queuing his Chick-fil-A to be open. Now, one person says, something don't sound right. That don't sound like no good reason. His passion is not a good reason. What he went to school for, and to follow his passion after 15 years is not a good reason. His he went to school for and to follow his passion after 15 years

is not a good reason. His passion is cooking. Right. Culinary arts. He's a... What do you call it when you're a chef? You're certified? Licensed?

He's never bought one dish in here ever in the six years that we've been on the air. I think it was six years this week for the Breakfast Club. No, you don't even know what... They dropping the clue bombs for the Breakfast Club being on for six years, damn it.

You don't even know what Q is leaving to do, though. I have no idea. Yeah, you keep saying he's... No, he's not doing anything but cooking. He's going to be helping people with their diet. So if you have diabetes, he's going to tell you what you need to eat. He's a nutritional consultant.

Yeah, plant-based diet. Yes, that's true. Oh, because, you know, yesterday at the holiday party, I was hating when everybody was like, you know, congratulations to Q. He's going on to big and better things. I'm like, what is he doing? We don't know what he's doing.

Yeah, well, that's what he's doing. That is what he's doing. He's saving lives. He's going to help people, saving lives. All know, congratulations to Q. He's going on to bigger and better things. I'm like, what is he doing? We don't know what he's doing. Yeah, well, that's what he's doing. That is what he's doing. He's saving lives. He's saving lives. All right. God bless Q. And he cried yesterday, too, during the... He said he lost his voice.

No, he started crying. He started choking up. We did this nice video for him. He started crying and choking up. All right. Trevor Noah's going to be here this morning. Trevor Noah will be joining us this morning. My fellow Uncle Tom, my fellow Coon.

Yeah, you need him today, boy. What happened yesterday? What happened yesterday? They were coming for you. What's going on with your man? I don't know. Let's be clear us this morning. My fellow Uncle Tom, my fellow Coon. Yeah, you need him today, boy. What happened yesterday? What happened yesterday? They were coming for you. What's going on with your man? Let's be clear about one thing. I don't never need nobody. That's number one.

You don't need Trevor? Okay. Why were they coming for you? Because I tweeted out that it'd be dope if women of color created a platform to control their narratives and have a voice like Tommy Lauren. And some women feel like a lot of us have. Okay, so how do we empower them?

That's my next thing. I mean, a lot of women are empowered. No, I want to empower them to make them big. That's all I'm saying. That means a troll, boy. How's that trolling? Let's get the show popping. Front page news.

How is that trolling? What are we talking about? Front page news. Let's talk about the arrest of the man, Ronald Gasser, who killed the ex-NFL player, Joe McKnight. A lot of people were upset that this man walked out of jail

and thought there was going to be no charges. Well, now he has been arrested, and the sheriff is talking about why was there a delay in arresting him. Okay, we'll get into all that when we come back. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Charlamagne Tha God, we are The Breakfast Club. Why am I on the front page of Twitter this morning? Jesus Christ, I didn't even know that could happen.

Let's get into some front page news. Now, I know this is not right. You see, it says tonight in the NFL they play on Wednesday? Eddie, there's no Wednesday night football. Oh, my goodness. Eddie. Even Envy knew that wasn't right. Normally Envy would just read it. I was like, I don't know.

When Envy got a question in. There's no Wednesday night football. It's Monday, Thursday, and Sunday. All right. All right. Well, tomorrow the Oakland Raiders play the Kansas City Chiefs. Good luck tomorrow. All right. Now let's talk about the, the Oakland Raiders play the Kansas City Chiefs. Good luck tomorrow. All right.

Now let's talk about the update with the Joe McKnight case. Right. So they did finally arrest and charge Ronald Gasser, the man who was accused of shooting and killing former NFL player Joe McKnight. They charged him with manslaughter. And this just happened on Monday. Everybody was very upset because they're like, why is he walking out of jail after we have video footage of him shooting and killing a man?

We have witnesses who said the man was Joe McKnight was apologizing to Gasser at that time and he stood above him and shot and killed him. Well, according to the sheriff, the sheriff is saying that there were statements that they got only from Ronald Gasser. Those are the only statements that they had received. And they said that he said that he was in fear because of McKnight making threatening statements and otherwise, and that's why that was the only statement they had. They had to release him. They thought it was best that an arrest not be made

for strategic reasons until we could get other witnesses. So he said they finally collectively came together and decided that they were prepared to draft an arrest warrant for his arrest. Not to throw race in it, but if he would have been black, they wouldn't have let him go. That's just how I feel. They definitely wouldn't have let him go. They would have found all the details that night,

and they definitely would have been charging him. I have never seen him let anybody go like that. Right, it was a verbal altercation, and Gasser did pull out his weapon and fired three shots. I don't think a verbal altercation is ever a reason to feel like you have to shoot and kill someone who has no gun or anything. But we shall see what happens. I think the pressure is probably what really made them arrest him.

Now let's talk about Dylann Roof. All right, well, the trial is ready to begin for the Charleston church shooting suspect, Dylann Roof. He's 22 years old, and he is the person who is responsible for killing nine people in a church last year in Charleston, South Carolina. Now, the opening arguments in this case are expected to start today, actually. Good, because I can't wait until Dylann Roof gets convicted, because I've already promised the city we're going to do a big-ass fish fry. Okay?

I want a DJ. We're going to do a big-ass fish fry in 843 when he gets convicted. This was over a year ago, and he went into that church with the intent of killing African Americans. And I know y'all saw the mistrial that happened in the Walter Scott case. That's not going to happen with Dillon Roof. Hope not. You ain't even got to worry about that there. All right, well, that's front page news.

And 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 morning, bad night. Maybe you had a long night. Whatever it may be. Phone lines are wide open. 800-585-1051.

Call us up right now. Tell them why you're mad. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Hey, yo, this is Matt Rapper. Good morning, yo, for real. up right now. Tell them why you're mad. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Hey, yo, this is Matt Rapper. Good morning, yo, for real. I'm going to tell you why I'm mad. I'm going to tell you why I'm mad, for real, man.

Hey, yo, my girl keep coming home smelling like Polo Cologne. So, like, that ain't for girls. Like, I know something's going on, for real. Like, I'm heated about that. And I need y'all to tell me why y'all mad. Why you mad on The Breakfast Club, for real. Hello, who's this? Hi, this is Mikayla from Florida.

Hey, Mikayla. Tell them why you mad. I am so mad at Charlamagne. Look, I'm usually never mad at Charlamagne because he always says some off-the-wall crazy stuff, but the fact that he even compared and wants anybody to be like Tommy

Lauren is just crazy. You were the one that said that she was using her platform to pretty much put bulls**t out there about the Black Lives Matter movement, but then you want somebody to be like her? I never said I want

somebody to be like her. You said you want us to use... Okay, you're right. I'm sorry. You said you wanted us to use our platforms like her. So you want us to go around okay, you're right. I'm sorry. You said you wanted us to use our platforms like her. So you want us to go around talking about stuff we know nothing about. No, that's not what I said, baby. I said we need to create a platform. I said we need to create platforms so we can control our narratives

and have a voice like Tommy Lauren. I mean, of all people, though, of all the people that are on TV that are also creating better narratives for black people, why did you feel like you had to compare black and Latino woke females to her? Let me ask you a question. Let me ask you a simple question. Is that little white girl not popping right now? She is.

So I want a woman of color to be popping just like that. Okay, but do you want us to be popping for the same reasons why she is? No, I never said that. I said platform. I didn't say nothing about her. Well, I think a lot of people look at Tommy Lauren as the boogeyman. So when you say her name automatically, they don't hear it. It's a buzzword, exactly.

And I think that there are black women who have powerful platforms. So how do we empower them? I mean, Shonda Rhimes is very powerful. No, no, no. Ava DuVernay always speaks out. She produces movies. They are, but I specifically said young women of color with an online news platform, not directors and writers. We know Ava is a beast.

Salute to Ava. Shonda's a beast. Young women of color with an online news platform to tell our truths and control our narratives. But Tommy didn't start the Blaze Network that she's on, right? Wasn't she tapped to do a show on there? No, but you know what Tommy did do? Tommy, first of all, nobody watches the Blaze. Let's be clear on that.

And if you go to try to watch her content online, you have to pay for it. What Tommy did was start taking clips of her shows and putting them up on her Facebook page. Her Facebook is what blew her up. She gets hundreds of millions of views on Facebook. So when I'm telling these sisters to use social media platforms, that's what I mean. And I'm not talking about tweeting and Tumblr. I'm talking about let's create an online news network like the Young Turks.

I seen an organization out of Houston yesterday. I wrote their name down so I could shout them out. I'll shout them out later. They're a black online news network. Let's create an online news network. Let's create an online news network and use this power we have on social media to blow it up. So the problem isn't that these women don't have these social media platforms. It's that we don't blow them up. Well, it was two things.

First, I put out the comment that, you know, I want women of color to have these platforms. Then I got informed that it is women of color that have these platforms. So if they are, let's blow them up. Let's post them on ballers. It's not that they don't exist. It's that we don't have platforms for them. Let's bring them on The Breakfast Club. Let's put them on Baller Alert.

Let's throw them on Worldstar. And let white people get mad at them so we can come and defend them the same way it happens with everybody else. Let's have that conversation a little bit later. Trevor Noah is coming up. We'll talk to him in a little bit. And also, we've got the rumors coming up in a little bit. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Started her platforms, and she actually raised money for Alton Sterling, and she did that whole GoFundMe for him. No doubt. And she got her own show on HBO from going on YouTube and having her own series. Absolutely. And that proves my point.

We need an online news network, and we need somebody that's on there talking about issues that affect us and is controlling our narrative, period. So it's not that these women don't have platforms and aren't trying to promote what they're promoting and aren't socially aware. You're saying that we don't have a platform for these women because Tomi Lahren didn't create that platform.

She didn't create the platform, but she took it to another level by using Facebook. She got on the blaze, was spitting those crazy narratives, and she used her Facebook page to blow up her content. Period. Who watches the blaze? Nobody watches the damn blaze? I just feel like sometimes for black women, we have it hard

because if you talk so aggressively and crazily, people don't give you that platform. We got to stop worrying about that because for the next four years, we're going to have, you know that girl's going to be on a rally factor tonight? Tommy Lawrence is going to be on Bill O'Reilly tonight. So we can't worry about talking aggressively. We need somebody that can talk aggressively. We need somebody radical.

And I'm not saying you got to be jumping out the window with false narratives. Jump out the window with truth. Because she definitely puts out some false narratives out there. But the truth will be way more impactful than any false narrative she puts out there. Because guess what? Black people don't have to lie about the oppression that they faced in America. They don't have to lie about white supremacy. All we got to do is tell the truth about it, and we can create a spark.

Period. I just feel like I do follow a lot of powerful black women who make all kinds of political statements. My girl, Valicia Butterfield-Jones, who actually used to work for Russell Simmons. Then she worked for Barack Obama. Now she works at Google. I think y'all are taking this somewhere. We know that it's powerful black and white. I'm specifically saying online

news networks. We need an online media news personality. That's what women of color need. Because women of color voice resonates different than everybody else. I don't care. Women's voice, women period's voice resonates different than everybody else. We need a care. Women's voice, women period's voice resonates different than everybody else. We need a women of color representing for our narratives in that online news space.

I think the misunderstanding is that what we're saying is we need to support these women and help them create larger platforms just like they support Tommy Lahren and the people that follow her. That's really what it is. It's not that these women aren't existing and don't use their platforms. It's that we're not supporting them. And for the ones that exist, let's empower them. That's it. Let's big them up. Let's bring them on Breakfast Club. Let's put them on Baller Alert. Let's blow them up the same way

Tommy Lawrence blowing up right now. That's all I'm saying. Well, guys, these rumors. We'll be coming up in a moment. Let's talk about the Grammy nominations because right before we were leaving yesterday, the Grammy nominations came out and we didn't really get into it because it just happened. So now let's get more serious about that and talk about the most nominated and all types of records that were broken with this Grammy.

All right, we'll get into all that when we come back. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. I ain't sorry. I ain't, I ain't, I ain't sorry. Hell, hell nah. Morning, everybody.

It's DJ Envy. He's so mean and nasty, you big black troll over there. All right. Wow. Gosh. I'm forever the bad guy. He's so angry. nasty, you big black troll over there. All right. Wow. Gosh. I'm forever the bad guy. He's so angry. I know.

I know. Oh, my gosh. Stop it. Okay, shut the hell up. Stop it. Oh, my gosh. Why are you so abusive? Oh, now I'm abusive?

Yes. All right. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk to Grammys. I wouldn't be surprised. Oh, no. All right. Rumor report. Rumor report. This is the rumor report. You talk the Grammys. I wouldn't be surprised. Oh, no. All right. Rumor report. Rumor report.

This is the rumor report. You guys don't play fair. Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, congratulations to our girl, Beyoncé. Beyoncé. None of us really know her personally, but she did get nine Grammy nominations, and she also made history.

She's the most nominated woman in Grammy history with 62 nominations total. Drop one of Kool's bombs for Beyonce. Y'all know I'm a Pinky Swift, Winfrey knows Carter. I don't know what you're talking about. We don't know her personally. I know her. That's your mom, right? Sister.

That's still our girl, though. No matter what. Now, Drake and Rihanna each got eight nominations, and Chance the Rapper got seven nominations for Coloring Book. That was his stream-only album. So let's talk about some of these nominations and who got nominated. Also, Desiigner got a nomination. Check out his reaction.

You got nominated for a Grammy. I mean, ****. I heard you, Charlie. You're just going to play his reaction without no subtitles or nothing? Nope. I don't know exactly what he said. You think people know what he just said? He said, big up to Brooklyn.

That was big up to Brooklyn. That is not what he said. He did not say big up to Brooklyn. There's nothing about Brooklyn. Well, he's nominated for Best Rap Performance for Panda. Also, Anderson.Paak got nominated alongside Chance the Rapper. And Drom and Yachty are up for Best Rap and Song Performance for Broccoli. So Yachty's nominated for a Grammy.

Yes. Drop on the Clues Bomb for Lil Yachty. For Lil Boat. Right. Drop on the Clues Bomb for Drom, too, damn it. Mm-hmm. That mumble music is popping out here in these streets. That melodic mumbling is winning.

All right, now let's discuss album of the year. Who do you think should get it? There's Beyonce for Lemonade, Justin Bieber, Purpose, Drake with Views, Adele with 25, and Sturgill Simpson, who I don't know. Beyonce and Lemonade, not even close. Yeah, but you didn't even listen to all those other albums. I heard everybody except for Sturgill. Sturgill, I don't know who that is.

Sturgill might be amazing. He might be. I ain't never heard of him. All right, best rap song. Fat Joe and Remy Ma featuring French Montana and Pharrell all the way up. Kanye featuring Rihanna, famous. Drake for Hotline Bling. Chance featuring Lil Wayne and 2 Chainz, no problem.

And Kanye West featuring Chance, Kelly Price, Kirk Franklin, and the dream, Ultralight Beam. Who I want to win or who is going to win? Who I want to win would be Fat Joe and Remy Ma. I want Fat Joe to win. Yeah, me too. Who do you think is going to win? I think Kanye to Ultralight Beam. Who I want to win or who is going to win? Who I want to win would be Fat Joe. I want Fat Joe to win. Who do you think is going to win? I think Kanye to Ultralight Beam.

I was thinking... Maybe Chance. Chance got a good chance. No problem. Chance got a chance. Alright, best rap album. Chance the Rapper Coloring Book, De La Soul, and the Anonymous Nobody. DJ Khaled, Major Key, Drake for his Views album,

Schoolboy Q, Blankface LP, or Kanye the Life of Pablo? Kanye the Life of Pablo. That's still my favorite rap album of the year. Chance the Rapper Coloring Book is my second favorite rap album of the year. I think Kanye dope. I want Khaled doing it. I just want Khaled doing it. Kanye the Life of Pablo was very slept on.

The reason Kanye the Life of Pablo was slept on was because of all of Kanye's antics outside of music. He's damn near bigger than his music at this point, but that album was amazing. And the last thing I'm going to ask you all about is best R&B album, okay? BJ the Chicago Kid, in my mind. Layla Hathaway, Layla Hathaway Live.

Terrace Martin, Velvet Portraits, Mint Condition, Healing Season, and Maya, Smooth Jones. Maya? Maya. Yes. That was everybody's reaction online. Maya put out an album? Yes.

Maya, Maya? Maya. Really? Pretty little Maya, like a little sexy, keep love? From Baltimore, D.C., Maya? Yes. That was everybody's reaction online. Maya put out an album? Yes. Maya, Maya? Maya. Really? Pretty little Maya. Like a little sexy keep love? From Baltimore, D.C., Maya? Yes. That was in Cisco video back in the day?

So which one of those people? I ain't hear nothing of those albums. Well, I heard BJ. BJ was dope, but I haven't heard nothing of that. I like Terrace Martin, too. Maya? I'm going to have to get Maya's album. I'm going to go listen to Maya's album.

You sure that's Maya, Maya? Yes, I'm positive. All right. Did you Google? I'm 100% positive it's Maya's album. I'm going to go listen to Maya's album. You sure that's Maya, Maya? Yes, I'm positive. Did you Google? I'm 100% positive it's Maya. Okay. How is it spelled? M-Y-A. Could be M-I-A.

I don't believe that. Maya. It's not M-I-A. Okay. Anyway, I'm Angela Yee. I thought Maya was doing Club Holtz for $500. I didn't know she was getting music. That was a lot.

I was nominated for Grammys. Yeah. Well, congratulations to Maya. Yes. Congratulations to everybody who was nominated. A lot of people were excited. I saw a drama's reaction. Anderson.Paak said he woke up

and to the good news, he's a Grammy. Imagine being a Grammy nominated artist. I'm probably going to nominate Malibu for Best R&B Album. Anderson.Paak.

Well, he was nominated, though. All right. Congratulations to all of them. I'm Angela Yee, and that's your Rumor Report. Thank you, Miss Yee. Now, when we come back, we have Trevor Noah. He'll be joining us.

We'll chop it up with him, so don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. That was Bryson Tiller with Don't Morning, everybody. It's DJ and the Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. My fellow coon.

Trevor Noah. We're both Uncle Toms. Is that what we are now? Yes, this guy we are, the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. My fellow coon. Trevor Noah. We're both Uncle Toms. Is that what we are now? Yes, that's what we are. This week we are. Oh, that's nice. This week you guys are. Because of meeting with Miss Tommy Lauren.

That's nice. Now, I'm going to be honest, Trevor. I was insulted when... I can take it, but I was insulted when they was coming at you. Why were you insulted for me more than yourself? Because you grew up in South Africa during apartheid. Yes. First of all, I just may sound crazy. Explain to the people what apartheid is. Well, I mean... Are you going to take my question

just like that? It's crazy. Was that Envy's question? Yeah. Oh, that's hilarious. I'll explain it to you, Envy. No, I mean, I feel like everyone should know this, but apartheid was basically a system of laws in South Africa. A system of laws that were designed to oppress people of color and all people of color. Apars that made it illegal for black and white people to interact with one

another. My parents included, you know, at the time when they were a couple, it was against the law. Me being born was against the law. I couldn't be... It was a crime for him to be here. Yeah. My dad couldn't be on my birth certificate. My parents couldn't have me on the... like you had to have a registry of all the people that lived in your house at the time. My grandmother couldn't have that in her house. But I think most importantly, the thing a lot of people don't realize is apartheid essentially was perfect racism. Like I'm still learning about how perfect the system was in terms of like, they went around the world. The government actually set up a commission to go around the world and study racism. And America was one of the places they

came. They went to Australia, they went to the Netherlands, they came to America and they were like, what is the racism here? How does the state oppress people of color? What can we use from the system to take home? And they did that. They went to South Africa and they made the most perfect racism ever. And that is the world I lived through. I'm lucky because, you know,

I was six years old when it was officially ended. I mean, but as anyone knows, when officially a thing ends, it doesn't mean it goes away. But you know, I, yeah, my family lived through that and you know, our country still lives through those effects. But from one through six is a very important age of the child's life. Their mind is shaping, it's developing. It was times your parents couldn't even love you in public. Yeah. Well, that was my whole life, but I didn't know any different. I didn't know that these things were happening. My dad didn't walk with me, but I grew up with kids who didn't even know their dad.

So I was like, yeah, well, there's my dad. At least I know I have a dad. So I didn't think that I was suffering more than somebody else. It's just how you were born and raised, so you didn't know anything different. It's not like you had it and it was taken away from you. Like my mom, when we walk in the street, I write about this in my book,

like when we walk in the street, my mom would dress up as if she was my nanny because that was the way she would not look like a black woman had this mixed child with a white man. So, but I didn't know that. I was just like, that's how my mom dresses. And you said we do still feel the effects of racism today. And there's people who will say, well, you know, we need to get over it.

You guys were never slaves. So how can you even speak on what slavery is like? And everybody stopped complaining and blaming, you know being black for for certain things happening in this country well this is this is what i say to those people i go to to argue that is to is to say that effects uh don't matter to say that effects don't don't compound you know everything that happens in the world has an effect everything that happens to you so if you have a system that promotes your well-being you are going to grow in that world. Absolutely.

So if your great-grandfather could have some money and a house and a piece of land and then his child and then his child and then it's going to go on and then it's going to get to you in some way, shape or form. Even if it's just in the way of knowledge, knowing how to own a place, knowing how to get credit, knowing how to live in a different world. These are benefits that you have you know so when you say that to somebody that's i don't understand how anybody can say that where they go like oh well i started from nothing i'm like no but you didn't start from nothing though that's the thing you don't understand you started from nothing in your world but it's not nothing nothing i just said that because tommy lawrence said something similar to that previously so yeah but that's that's the thing i understand how people go, why are you being a victim? And it's like, no, no, no.

There's a difference between claiming a victimhood and standing up and saying that the playing field is not level. That's a fact. And it is hard to see. It's the same way it was hard for me to see that as a man. I had to acknowledge that. I never thought that as a man I lived in a misogynistic world. I never thought that as a man I was in a place of privilegeistic world. I never thought that as a man I was in a place of privilege or power.

I just realized that this year. When did you just realize that? I just realized that this year. And the only reason I realized that is because in my life, women have always been the strongest people, whether it's been your mother, your grandmother. But you don't realize how much they were either keeping from us or how much they were going through at the time.

So I'm like, oh, I didn't know that y'all felt insecure and stuff. Yeah, but more importantly for me, I didn't realize that women lived in a world that was inherently misogynistic. Like small things as well. Fireman, chairman. For instance,

in our lifetime, we've seen a change to chairperson. Right. You know what I mean? It's small things like that. Tell you where you're supposed to go. Say Hillary Clinton run for president and so many people

wouldn't vote for her just off the strength that she was a woman. Or the fact that women don't even make the same amount of money as a man for the same job. Exactly. So these are things we have to acknowledge. Now, a lot of the time, the problem with that conversation, I feel, is it becomes, if I acknowledge it, does it mean I have to give mine away? And that's where people shut down.

So I go, you know, like people go, so if I acknowledge that black people have been and are being oppressed, does that mean I have to give up my freedom then? We all got privileges. I feel that way truly. I feel like women have privilege, men have privilege. White people have privilege, black have privilege. Like we all have our own unique privileges. I don't know that women have privileges per se in the conversation of power. But I hear what you're saying.

There are benefits. There's a difference between having benefits to being certain things. Women go against us all the time. Completely. It's always something that, well, I can do it, but you're a woman, so it's different when you do it. Completely. I mean, yeah, but men have those double standards. Our double standards are stupid for women.

Like, women can't play football. Like, no, they probably shouldn't. A lot of men shouldn't play football either. You know what I'm saying? But women really shouldn't. Yeah, but a woman's reputation can be destroyed if she sleeps with three men. But if a man sleeps with 100 women. If I sleep with three men, my reputation will be destroyed.

That is true. If I sleep with three men right men, my reputation will be destroyed. That is true. If I sleep with three men right now, my reputation will be destroyed. No, it would be expected. So, yeah. So, I mean... That's funny.

Let's go back to Tommy Lord because you guys got it bad last week. I mean, I heard... We're still getting it bad now. I heard sellout. I heard... They called him the devil.

What else did they call you? Sambo? First of all, one thing I've come to love and learn when it comes to the American press is you have to know that they will frame the story in the way that it seems like that is best for their narrative. I got to get these clicks, Trev. So what happened with Tommy was this. After the show, I know that it's hard to come into my space.

It would be just as hard for me to go into a conservative space and have these conversations, right? She was gracious. She comes in. She says things that I don't agree with, and I was open about that on the show. Right. What I didn't like was afterwards,

people who claim to be progressive saying things like, oh, you know, this C word. Oh, I'm glad you put this dumb blonde bitch in her place and I'm like no you that's not you see what you've just done now is you've taken up a cudgel of misogyny to use against her claiming to be you get on saying you're the same person you can't you can't do that when it suits you you can't be like no I'm for women's rights but that bitch over there it's like no but then you're going against that and what i didn't like was that i was like i don't stand for that i honestly don't i fundamentally disagree with many

of the things she says so i said let me meet up with you and your producers i'll come with me and my producer and we just want to sit with you and say thank you we're not for what has happened here post the interview so it wasn't a date no but then what's great is what's great is they cut out my people which is i mean that's what happens people yeah in the picture and then it's great is they cut out my people, which is, I mean, that's what happens. And her people. Yeah, in the picture. And then it's just like, oh, that's why they don't show me walking out because I'm walking out with my people. So you're sipping a drink. I don't even look into me.

I get that, though. But I get it. Did you pay for the drink, Trev? No, actually, I didn't. Did you pay for it? No, I didn't. My people paid for the drink, funny enough. You know, it's funny because you pay attention to the small details online.

You're like, I bet he paid for her drinks. That's funny. No, but look i i understand that you really have a crush on her at all i don't know no i don't i don't understand why but i but i get that you know what i find funny if someone goes you wouldn't talk to this person if uh she wasn't a blonde beautiful woman and then i go no you didn't notice when i spoke to an average looking white man because i've had many conservative people on my show. I talk to them afterwards. There are people who I still meet with today

where I go like, explain your world. Let me understand your world. Then I go, so you're the one who notices. I completely get if somebody is in a situation where they go, I don't appreciate that. I don't think you should give these people any airtime. I've got two things you're mistaking. One, I do not believe that we're in a situation

where we're providing exposure for a person that has hundreds of millions of views on their videos. She's got a video that got 66 million views on it. Right, that's one video, by the way. That's average. Do you get what I'm saying? So you're not providing a platform for this person. Right.

What you're doing is you're trying to get into their space and talk to them as a person. But more importantly, you're trying to talk to the people that would never hear you in the first place.

Because when that person comes into your space, I mean, it's the same reason artists started featuring people. Because they were like, all right, we're trying to get you

to cross over. Think about how many people became fans of Jay-Z after the Linkin Park thing and then the other way around as well. That's what the whole thing was. All right, we got more coming up with Trevor Noah.

So don't go anywhere. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. That was Notorious B.I.G. Big Papa. Morning, everybody. It's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club.

We got a special guest, Trevor Noah, in the building. Now, Yee? Now, I didn't have a problem with your interview. I think for Charlamagne, the problem was after your interview, some people just saw a picture of Charlamagne with her, and it was like a jokey kind of picture, and they had a problem because they heard what she said on your show. Then they saw that, and it just looked like they were hanging out.

But he was jokey-jokey on his show, the same thing. But I think with Charlamagne, I think a lot of people missed. Well, it wasn't an interview that happened up here, though. It was just stand-alone. We tried to get her for an interview. I think a lot of people missed when we said that. I was going to have a conversation. By the way,

I've been talking to her since February. I've known Tami since February. That's when I first came in contact with her. I went on her show. I saw you. Yeah, you went on the show.

Do you feel like she has changed her mind or has a different perspective on anything? I don't think these things happen overnight. I think it's insane to think any of these things

will be changed overnight. We have a legacy and a history. I mean, you know, like South Africa and the U.S. are very different because in terms of oppression, you have to acknowledge in South Africa, black people are the majority. I never claim that they're the same. I never even claim to know the answers to these things. What I don't understand is why we don't understand that these things take time. And one thing I've learned consistently and constantly from reading,

one thing you learn consistently is racism does not stand up well to contacts. And that is one thing that I've noticed continuously. People are in contact with someone of another race. You find, and consistently, I don't mean just meeting you in the street. I mean like in your life. You find that racism doesn't hold up because racism is based on race. And race is a construct that has been created to oppress people. And it is a fallacy at the end of the day.

So when you meet the people, you start to see the people behind the thing that you've been taught, like, exists. But it doesn't really. It's hard to hate black people if you have black friends. It's extremely hard. It's hard to hate white people if you have white friends. Look at it in the U.S. Look at it in the U.S. Look at it in many countries in the world.

Places where people will say, in America, where do they hate Muslim people the most? Places where there are none. They'll be like, do you know any Muslims? They'll be like, no, but I don't need to know them to know that I hate them. No, you do. So you think if Donald Trump were to come in contact

and be friends with more Muslim people, maybe... I think it's too late for guys like Trump. Trump's 70 years old. Is it ever too late? He's a billionaire. It's hard to change a 70-year-old. Billionaire. He's stuck in his ways.

I'm like, why? I think he has too much money to want to change. That's my thing, though. I don't have to be busy. He's 70. Old people are stuck in their ways. But he doesn't have to do business with you. He never has to see a Muslim person in his life if he doesn't want to.

He has so much money. But he does do business with Muslim people, though. We don't know the answers. And that's the thing I come to realize all the time. Whether it's race, whether it's economics or anything, we are all trying to figure it out. Yes.

No one has figured it out. Right. I'm not saying I have a solution. You know, I'm not saying your way is wrong and I'm not saying my way is right. What I am saying is no one seems to have figured it out yet.

So... None of us got the answers yeah so i'm going let's let's think of it let's think of it like let's think of it like scientists they go yo we're all trying to cure cancer we're all using different methods you call me if you figure this out when you have a breakthrough you call me when you have a breakthrough you call me when you ever you get what i'm saying and i feel like that as well i go go, I read, I try and learn, I try and approach it in the way that I can, and I go, you do your way, and I will try mine. And that's all I can do.

Do you follow Donald Trump on Twitter? I do. Yeah, I do. Well, not because he's president-elect. Yeah, tweeting out all kinds of information. If he hasn't blocked you yet, you're not doing your job well enough. I'll be honest with you. Donald Trump, does he block people? Yes, he blocked Bacari. Donald Trump blocked you? No, he didn't block me, he blocked Bacari. Sellers. Oh, no, I don't think Donald Trump blocks many people. I? Yes, he blocked Bakari Sellers the other day. No, he didn't block me, he blocked Bakari Sellers.

Oh, no, I don't think Donald Trump blocks many people. I don't think he... Oh, I never thought of him as that type of guy. I don't think of him... You know what, I think it's great. I'll tell you now. I think of Donald Trump, I think it's great that he's on Twitter. You know why? Because then we really get to see what the man is thinking all the time. Because the people around him,

they try and put varnish on it. They go like, oh, no, he didn't mean that. And then he's like, no, no, I meant it. They were like, oh no, the China-Taiwan call. That was a, hey, that was just a call. He doesn't have anything against China. And then Trump tweeted, oh yeah, I have something against China. Now we know where we stand. I like that. I like knowing who the

person is. I'm like, why do you want to obscure that? Now, I love the article in the New York Times, let's not be divided. And you said divided people are easy to New York Times, Let's Not Be Divided. And you said, divided people are easy to rule. You said that's how apartheid was able to exist. Can you expound on that?

Well, here's my thing. Everyone will take it the way they want to take it and they'll fight it or accept it or whatever it is. Greatest things that apartheid did within its world,

it's so frustrating, is how powerful it was because it sowed seeds of discontent among people who were the same. That was the power of apartheid. You must remember, black people are 90% of the population

in South Africa. How do you govern 90%? How do you keep them oppressed? Well, what you do is you convince them that they are not one. You convince them that they are all different groups. So you split them up.

So you go, no, we did it tribally. So we went like, it's Zulu, it's Tswana, it's B zulu it's swana it's betty it's songa we separate the people you live there you live there you live there you live there and then what you do is you separate people who are mixed now so you go like okay yeah i don't care if your parents are mixed you're a new race we're gonna call you colored you know and i was in a situation where i never made here i never got to live in that world because i've lived i grew up in a black family that's the only world i knew that's the stories I tell in my book.

I go, my family was like, no, you're staying here. And the reason they hid me was because they were afraid of that happening to me. That is the best thing. We're all fighting in this world and you start to realize, you go like, where is it coming from? Why is it happening? So you go like, oh no, you're holding us back.

No, no, Charlemagne, you're bad for black people. Then it's like, is Charlemagne really the worst thing for black people? Yes. Is Charlemagne really the worst thing for black people? You're like, really? Of all the things out there? Stop repeating that, Trev.

Really? You're like, for real? You're like, no, no, no, but you're like, are you for real, though? Yes. Are you being for real? Yes.

Voter ID rights, you know, you're going to vote ID laws, and then you're going to be, Charlemagne's the worst thing? Mass incarceration, but Charlemagne is the worst thing? Then I'm like, it's so easy to do that

because what happens is you can get caught up in the, it's like, here, let's fight here because that thing seems so big, we may as well just punch each other on the way there. So I go, I'm trying, I listen, I learn, I read. I don't claim to know everything. I'm not even saying South Africa is perfect. We're not. But one thing we have

in South Africa that I know changed my life, my family's life, my grandmother's life, everyone's lives, is that we had an acknowledgement. Of what? The Truth and Reconciliation Commission in South Africa.

We sat down and as a nation, we had to go, slavery is real. This is what the people did. These are the lives that they took. Mass incarceration.

These are the stories. These are the people coming out and saying, yes, I came after you because you were black. This is what I did to your people. People can argue about whether or not the effects worked. But one thing that was garnered from that was the acknowledgement that as a person of color,

you were not crazy. And in America, it feels like that hasn't happened. In America, there hasn't been like a, yes, okay, let's be honest. This country was designed to oppress you. Okay, fine. At least that. Just so that as a person of color, you can go, I'm not crazy.

Because oftentimes you feel like you are. So how do we engage in the discussion here in America? I don't know about that. I say to people all the time, I'm going like, I'm not saying the we. I'm just offering my own suggestion. You know what I'm saying? I see life like a video game. I don't know about that. I say to people all the time, I'm going like, I'm not saying the Wii. I'm just offering my own suggestions. You know what I'm saying? I see life like a video game. I don't know all the moves.

I know the moves that I know. I know which moves of mine work. So I'm going to do those moves. Sometimes I'm going to meet someone who's going to teach me a new move. I'm going to use that move in the game. And sometimes when you're playing, I'll be like, hey man,

I don't know if this will work for you, but whenever I find I'm up against that boss, I use this move. I'm not telling you how to do it. I'm just saying this is what has worked for me in my world. And then you can tell me the same thing. All right, we got more coming up with Trevor Noah, so don't go anywhere.

Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. That was Riri with Needed Me. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God, We Are The Breakfast Club.

Trevor Noah's in the building. Charlamagne? You told the Times we can be unwavering in our commitment to racial equality while still breaking bread with the same racist people who've oppressed us.

I know it can be done because I had no choice but to do it, and it's the reason I am where I am today. Do you think America could really do that? Because it seems very deep-rooted in America.

It is deep-rooted, but just because it's deep-rooted doesn't mean it can't happen. Here's the thing I realized with racism, and this is like my mad theory. I have not scientifically studied this at all, but this is what I believe with racism. I go, fundamentally, I believe we treat racism the wrong way because I think we should treat racism like a disease

and not as a choice. I believe that racism is hereditary. It is passed down from generation to generation, just like alcoholism, you know, because if you are not born, if you're not in a world where racism exists, you don't become, it is taught to you. You can have it and you can get it later on in life, just like you can become an alcoholic later on in life. But that is something that can be changed. The problem I have is when you shun racists, when you cut them out of society,

where do they go to? I don't understand that logic. When Donald Sterling with the Clippers has his racist tirade, what happens to him? They give him a billion dollars

and he goes home. Is that guy not racist anymore? Now you've got a racist billionaire, the worst kind. We need conversion shock therapy for racism. You're the extreme guy

in the party, Michelle. But is there any way, like you said earlier, to change somebody who's 70, 80 years old, rich? No, I don't know if we can change that. But I do believe

the way we treat racism, though, is not... You're going... So let me get this straight. A person is racist, they get fired from their job. A person is racist, we kick them off a TV show. A person is racist, we ban them off Twitter. A person is racist, they get fired from their job. A person is racist, we kick them off a TV show.

A person is racist, we ban them off Twitter. A person is racist, so all we're doing is we're banning these people. Where do we ban them to? That's all I want to know. Like when you look at the world, you go, you realize that these things exist beyond race. Right. You do realize that. So you go to other countries in the world, and I can tell you stories like that from my friends

who grew up in African countries where there are no white people. And it's a tribal thing. So they'll be like, ah, you've got that Zulu name. You can't get into that place. Or you're in Uganda. You're from this tribe. Then you can't get position. You're in India.

You're Tamil. All of a sudden they're saying to you, oh, no, no, no, no. You can't rise up. No, no, no. We don't accept you in the Hindi community. Do you get what I'm saying? It's like it happens. That's a tribal I'm saying? It's like, it happens. That's a tribal thing, unfortunately, that happens all over the world.

The thing we're dealing with in America is the racist side of that. Right. And it's almost like you want to evolve to the next step where maybe you're dealing with the next ism almost. You know the problem with America? America deals with too many extremes. Like, there's no nuance in America. You know what I'm saying? Like, we don't think that there's any shades of gray in America.

It has to be one or the other. Yes. And I think that's the problem with America. Well, I mean, that's one of the issues that we face in the world. But yeah, that's an issue that we have as people. It's either good or bad. I have one last question. Is Charlamagne the worst thing for black people?

Shut the F up. I'm going to go on the record and say, Charlemagne, you are the worst thing that ever happened to black people. And I'm glad to know you. Over Flavor Flav? I'm glad to know you. I'm glad to know you. And you know what? I'm going to walk out with you in the streets, Charlemagne.

And I'm going to take you out for a drink, Charlemagne. And I'm going to try and change you as well, Charlemagne. That's right, try to change me. And you know what? All these people here, all these people here, they try and they try and get me out of your world. I'm going to stay in your world, Charlemagne. We need to have conversations.

I'm going to stay in your world. But for real, though. I just think we should talk. Now, listen. With The Daily Show, it seems like over the past week, people are discovering, wow, Trevor Ngo was really good. I think it was a little tough because you were replacing a legend. Yeah, I mean, you can't replace John.

That's what I try and tell people. Did you ever tell him, change the name of the show? Like, hey, let's change the name of the show. Let me start something new. Well, you couldn't. You got to look at it as a gift and a curse. You're taking over a legacy. And so the gift of that is that you have inherited a legacy.

The curse is that there is a legacy to live up to. I always go with this. I go, John has been the greatest mentor to me he's the person who plucked me from obscurity in my world he was like i saw your videos and i was like i like this guy i want to adopt an african baby basically that's exactly what he did that's exactly what he did and he brought me into his world and so and so at the end of the day i go like you know john has told me about the pros and cons of the job the world you're living in.

In any space where you have an opinion, there are people who are going to say that it is wrong or it is right. You guys know that better than anybody, you know. So you've just got to go out there and do the best that you can do. Educate yourself as much as you can. Engage with, you know, viewpoints that you may not agree with. At the end of the day, I'm just trying to learn. I'm trying to be honest. And that's what I'm doing is I'm learning with my viewers.

I go, what a great time. I'm learning. We're learning. The president is learning. What a wonderful time. We're all learning together. Oh, no, he's learning every day about what it means to be president. I'm sure every single day Donald Trump is like, really?

That's a thing? Every day. Every day Donald Trump is shocked by something. I can't wait till they tell him about UFOs. I know he's tweeting it, right? Oh, absolutely. Oh, here's an interesting fact. Do you know that if the president tells us about anything, it's no longer classified?

Declassified. So, I mean, Donald Trump can just... Well, you better get that UFO information. I feel like you could trick it out of him. It's coming. Oh, my goodness. Well, Trevor, I'm glad you came, man. Because, like I said, when they was going in on me, I was cool.

When they was going in on you, I was like, do you know this guy's story? Do you know what he comes from, what he's been through? That's why he has such patience, I guess, in the face of quote-unquote white supremacy. I appreciate you, man. Thank you very much. And I appreciate what you guys do, man. Huge fans of the show. So, I mean, thank you very much for having me.

Thank you very much. All right. Well, there you have it. It's Trevor Noah. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. You want the latest gossip and entertainment news? Well, then don't go anywhere because the rumor report is up next.

The Breakfast Club. Oprah. 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. Well, Oprah is going to be sitting down with our first lady, Michelle Obama. She's getting the final interview with her before they leave the White House. It's called First Lady Michelle Obama Says Farewell to the White House, an Oprah Winfrey special. And that's going to broadcast on CBS on December 19th.

And there's going to be a second airing that's going to premiere on OWN on December 21st. So the first lady will be talking about what it's been like being the first lady for the last eight years, the legacy she's leaving behind, and what she has planned for the future. So I'm going to definitely be watching that. It's going to be sad, man. It is. I'm already sad. Everything you see from the Obamas for the next two months is going to be so sad.

It's just going to be sad watching them walk away. They should have came out of Breakfast Club, though. Shut up. You want the final sit-down? Mm-hmm. All right, Khloe Kardashian. You know she has of Breakfast Club, though. Shut up. You wanted the final sit down? Mm-hmm. All right, Khloe Kardashian. You know she has her jean line, Good American Jeans. Did you know that her jeans have been the biggest denim launch in apparel history?

Really? Do you know how much she made on the first day of sales? How much? $1 million. Wow. On the first day for these jeans. Where do they sell it? Where do they sell it? Listen, I have no idea. I don't even know much about these jeans. Where do they sell it? Listen, I have no idea.

I didn't even know much about these jeans. What's so special about the jeans? They come with a butt in them or something? I don't know. I guess it's just the fact that she has a huge following. Remember when she was posting from inside the... The sweatshop. Yeah, it's not a sweatshop.

And she got mad that people were saying that it was a sweatshop. Well, they've been selling out, but they're going to have these styles available again. And they said it was super-duper expensive. People were mad that the price was kind of high. They were mad at the price, yes.

They ranged from $149 to $205. Well, congrats to her. Make that brand. Right. So there's three key styles, and you can go on goodamerican.com. That's where you get it

if you care about these jeans. And they have them at Nordstrom as well. Oh, Nordstrom. Nordstrom's okay. Yeah, so that's where you can get them. That's crazy. A million dollars on the first day.

All right. And I love this story. This is very inspirational. The Rock. Now, he talks about having only $7 in his wallet and having to move back in with his parents back in 1995. And now look at how much money The Rock is worth. Right? Here he is talking.

It's a brand new series from Seven Bucks Digital Studios. It talks about successful actors, athletes, musicians, comedians, influencers, and just real people who are inspirational when they reach that turning point in their life. And The Rock actually is kicking this off. Check it out. No audio. Oh, we don't have the audio? Nope.

Okay. Well, I thought I had it. It was very important. That killed that story. Yeah, it definitely killed that story. I thought he had it. Alright, it went from $7 21 years ago, and now guess how much he's worth?

Like $300 million. $64.5 million. Wow. Did you just say he hated you? That's it. You a hater, yo. I said 300. I had him up there. 64, that's all. Yeah, no, but 64.5. So that's an inspirational great story. Alright, well

that's it. That'd sound better if it came on the rock door. I would have loved to have that. Alright. Well, that was the rumor report. Charlamagne! Yo! Who you giving your donkey to? Oh man, donkey today is going to somebody who I know very well. Me! You giving yourself donkey?

Is this the second time this year? Wow. I think it's the second time this year. Wow. Second time this year I'm getting donkey today. So, yes. Charlemagne and God, please come to the front of the congregation. We'd like to have a word with you.

Okay. Yes. All right. We'll get to that next. Keep it locked. It's the Breakfast Logo Morning. Don't want me. I'm falling.

I was born a donkey. It's the donkey of the day. Donkey, donkey, donkey. One, two. Yeah, yeah. Best time for the donkey of the day. That's pretty funny. Charlamagne the devil. I heard it. The Breakfast Club. Let's go, bae. Shut the hell up.

Look, donkey of the day for Wednesday, December 7th goes to Charlemagne Tha God. Oh, yes, I'm giving myself donkey of the day because last night on Twitter, I tweeted out would be dope if a young black or Hispanic liberal used social media to create a platform to be a voice like Tommy Lauren did. Then I tweeted

out, if you don't like the narratives people are painting of you, create your own platforms to control your own narratives. Then I took out the word liberal and tweeted, would be dope if a young black or Hispanic woke woman used social media to create a platform to be a voice like Tommy Lauren did. Now, I wasn't saying anyone should be like Tommy Lauren.

I'm simply saying we should build an online news platform and use social media to blow it up. See, this young lady works for the Blaze Network, but nobody watches the Blaze. And when you try to see that content online, you have to pay for it. What Tommy did was start taking clips of her show and pushing them through Facebook. And now her content is popping. And whether we like it or not, at least for the next four years, she's going to be a voice for the young conservative right.

So I feel we need a young liberal minority voice for the left. And hell, it doesn't even have to be political. We just need a young minority voice in that space, and I feel it needs to be a woman of color because a woman's voice, to me me resonates and connects with a lot of different people now the reason i give myself donkey today is because i got slandered for it i will take this l because i tell you people all the time in life you either win or you learn that's what the l stands for learning and last night i learned you have to be specific on social media okay aminka

belvich said to me on social media what c to God should have said is black women should create an online news show like Tommy Lauren, not platform. Wrong word to use. I can see that because it is plenty of women of color with platforms and voices on Twitter and Tumblr, and clearly women of color have the loudest voices on those platforms. I say it all the time. Last thing you want is a bunch of crystals and Jamel Amuse on your ass, okay?

So, yes, I acknowledge that women do have loud voices on these platforms. Most of the social justice hashtags, including Black Lives Matter, are powered by women of color on social media. But social media is the engine that makes it go. We need to build the car, okay? The online news network is the car. Now, I also got informed last night that it is online news

network. Some of them I heard before, some I never heard of until last night. The Advice Show in Houston is one I never heard of. Salute to them. I have to salute Francesca Ramsey, who has MTV decoded in the Last Name Basis podcast. I knew that one. It's literally a bunch of them they were sending me

last night. So, for the online news networks hosted by women of color that do exist, our black online news networks, period, how do we amplify their voices? Instead of sitting around and discussing on social media what Tommy Lauren is doing, why can't we discuss in large numbers these online news

shows hosted by women of color and make them bigger? I am on the front page of Twitter this morning with Trending All Last Night because women of color and make them bigger. I am on the front page of Twitter this morning with trending all ass night because women of color collectively came together to slander my black ass. That's power. Alright. Every Sunday night, Insecure on HBO was the number one

trending topic on Twitter because of women of color. Scandal, how to get away with murder, anything women of color put their hands on via social media, whether it's putting their hands on them in a good way or a negative way, it amplifies it, okay? So don't you think we could do the same for our online news network?

Once again, let me go back to my initial tweet. Would be dope if a young black or Hispanic woke woman used social media to create a platform to be a voice like Tommy Lauren did. I said use social media to create a platform. The platform is the online news network said use social media to create a platform. The platform is the online news network. Using social media to push that online network. Same way Tommy is using Facebook

to blow her platform up is the thing that we need, okay? It's a saying, and that saying is, I'm responsible for what I say, but not for what you understand. I don't wholeheartedly agree with that. I feel like I'm responsible for what I say, but I have a duty to phrase it in a way that you do understand. Maybe I didn't do a good job of doing that last night via social media. Some people knew exactly what I was saying. Others felt offended because they thought I was saying to be like Tommy. Others felt offended because they already have these platforms and aren't getting the light shined on them. I understand all of that. So all I want to know right now is how we're going to create more online news platforms hosted by women of color. OK, for the online news platforms hosted by women of color already that already exist.

How can we blow them up and amplify them? I'm here to assist in whatever way I can. OK, same way y'all can go in on me and cause me to train and put me on the front page of Twitter. Surely we can bring attention to women of color with online news networks. So for all those who don't feel I conveyed that message properly last night, allow me to give myself the biggest hee-haw.

Now, what are we going to do? That's great. So that means that for the Breakfast Club, we'll be looking for those women to come and give them a platform. Absolutely. That's how we amplify voices. On our show. Because it's very important that for the next four years we control our narratives, man. Salute to people like Angela Rice. She hit me up last night.

Crystal, Jamel Lemieux, Francesca Ramsey, Simone Sanders. All women of color in those online news spaces. But I still believe we need that young minority liberal woke voice on the left to combat the false narratives that will be coming from the young conservative voice on the right.

So I'm here to help. Let's make some things happen. Everybody talking about what people are giving. Well, we got things to give over here too, okay? We can help you amplify your voice. So you're giving yourself donkey today for people not understanding what you said? Shut up! I'm not going back down this road because you're about to confuse me again. Alright? You just

shut your baby's ass up. For not perhaps phrasing what he was trying to say in a way that people could understand what he meant. Instead of saying that, because people felt like he was saying these women don't exist. But what it is is we need to support those women that do have these platforms and we need to create more of them. So you're giving yourself the wrong day for saying something wrong. I want to be clear. It's not like you gave yourself a donkey name for people

not understanding you right. I just specifically said I probably did not convey the message. That's all I wanted to hear. You were wrong. Yes, that's what I wanted to hear. I didn't say I was wrong.

I said I didn't convey the message the right way. I was wrong in not conveying the message in the ways people understood. But some people did understand. But for the people that didn't understand,

I'm giving myself donkey. For all y'all that's not woke out there. I don't even know what that means. You used it. Oh my God. Y'all just want me to be the bad guy. I'll be the bad guy.

Yeah, just be the bad guy. If you get donkey, there's no donkey. I am. I'm always the bad guy. I am. Charlemagne Tha God is the worst thing that ever happened to black people in the history of life. There's no donkey with a footnote. There is nothing worse than Charlemagne Tha God when it comes to black people.

Okay, I am disgusting. I need to be kicked out of the culture. Because you kind of gave everyone else donkey for not understanding. I did not do that. I didn't do that.

I didn't do that. And can you never again do something like that when I'm trying to push our ugly Christmas sweaters? All right? I'm trying to push our ugly Christmas sweaters

and then Charlemagne puts that on Twitter and that kind of ruined it. That kind of ruined it. I was like, this idiot. You're just thinking about profit. I'm sitting there. I'm trying to uplift and empower people.

And you're telling me to talk about some ugly Christmas sweaters. Well, don't do that right before I post that. Oh, Lord. Ever again. We don't want to win. Oh, my goodness. I'm going to drink, man. I guess.

You want a mimosa? Thank you for the down care today. I'm going to drink this roomie straight. I'm so sick of this. You want a mimosa? Thank you for the donkey today. I'm going to drink this roomie straight. I'm so sick of this. I can't take it. I just can't take it. I can't take it. People next time understand him, all right?

I can't take it. You guys are all donkeys today. You guys are all donkeys. That's not what happened. All right. Up next is ASCII. You want to drink with me, Emmy? Come on, get a cup, my G. 5-8-5-1-0-5-1.

Lord have mercy. If you need some relationship advice, ask me right now. If you need to get woke. God know my heart. God know my heart. God know my heart. God know I need to drink at 811 in the morning. 800-585-1051.

ASCII is next. If you need some advice, call her now. She'll help you out with all your problems. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. 5851051. If you need some advice, some advice some relationship advice hello who's this

hi this is Mimi from Rochester New York what's up the rock baby what's good hi yes I was just calling in this morning because I had a question about relationships in the workplace okay yeah I I'm seeing someone at my job and it started I I think I'm starting to develop feelings but I don't know if he is so I'm starting to feel like should I just tell him we should be friends? So you're sleeping with somebody at work? Yes. And so what was the agreement that you guys have? And let me ask

you this, what's your policy at work about relationships in the workplace? Do they have a policy or everything's good? Everything is good. I haven't really heard a policy. Okay. Now, is he in a relationship with anybody else? Are y'all sneaking around or you guys are both... He was in a relationship, but he said he's not in a relationship anymore.

You believe him? Yeah. They don't live together anymore. Okay, all right. So she moved out. So he just got fresh out of a relationship. He might not be able to jump into something new right away, but he told you that?

Yeah. So he has told you he doesn't want to be of a relationship. He might not be able to jump into something new right away. But he told you that? Yeah. So he has told you he doesn't want to be in a relationship? Well, he said he just wanted to take things slow because he was with somebody for a long time. Which is understandable. Yeah. And he was straight up. But the problem is that you feel like you like him more than he likes you. Yeah.

Yeah. Now, what's, and have you been seeing anybody else or just him? No, just him. Is he seeing anybody else? No. Yeah. Now, what's, and have you been seeing anybody else or just him? No, just him. Is he seeing anybody else? No. Okay, so you guys kind of are in a relationship because y'all only dating each other exclusively. Yeah. My whole thing is this.

If you like somebody and things are going okay and there's no real issues, then I don't see why you want to overthink it. Oh, okay. So I'm overthinking it. Yeah, because we don't have why you want to overthink it. Oh, okay, so I'm overthinking it. Yeah, because it's no issue. It's just that we work together, so I'm just concerned about it not working out, and then we still have to work together. Sometimes you put that in the atmosphere

when you get so nervous that something's not going to work out. What if I like him more than he likes me? But if he's not doing anything that you feel is disrespectful to you, if he treats you well and you like him and you can tell that he likes you, and it's only been three months then I don't see why you're putting so much on it. Oh, okay.

Like, why don't you do what he says? He said he wants to take it slow, right? Right. So you guys might as well take it slow. You understand that he just got out of a relationship, which he told you. He was open and honest about that. The woman doesn't live with him anymore. You believe him, right? Right. So the problem is in your own head.

I think I like him more than he likes me. So what? Right. If it works out, it works out. If it doesn't, it doesn't. There's just nothing you can really control right now. Just go ahead and enjoy yourself. Enjoy the relationship.

And you don't got to break something off because you're scared that something might happen in the future that you have no idea that there's no indication that it could happen. Okay. That makes sense. All right, just always bear in mind that he was honest with you. He did tell you he needs to take it slow.

He did just get out of a relationship, so be patient. Okay, I will. And remember, you guys work together. You all should at least be friends with each other. Yeah. Okay, thank you. All right, good luck, Mama. Thank you.

Ask Yee 800-585-1051. If you got a question for Yee, call her now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. You got my soul. That was Bryson Tiller with Exchange. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.

We are The Breakfast Club. Now, let's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, let's get to more questions for you. If you need relationship advice or any type of advice, 800-585-1051. This one's going to make you mad, but let's do call in number five. Might as well make me mad. Hello, who's this? Hi, this is Jamie from Milwaukee.

Hey, Jamie. All right, what's the problem, Jamie? All right, I have just a flat-out question for you. What would you do if you found your 14-year-old daughter's vagina in pictures on her phone? What? I told you she was going to be mad, Envy. Oh, my goodness. How do you know that's hers?

I asked her, and out of all the things she's lied to me about, this is the one thing she actually told me the truth. Like, just yes. Okay. And so what was her explanation? She took pictures of it? She sent it to somebody? You know what, I didn't even give her a chance to explain or whatever, I just went, you know, postal

on her, and I just, um, I didn't want to know what y'all would do. You know what, okay, so here's an interesting story. One of my friends, um, he has two sons, right, and he's raising his two sons on his own. And he had an issue at the school where a girl from school sent a naked picture to his son, who's also 14 years old. And that is child pornography, by the way. Him having that on his phone is child

pornography. So he ended up getting expelled from school for having that picture on his phone. The problem is that we didn't grow up in that era where people were doing that. We didn't have those cell phones where we were taking pictures and nudes of ourselves and sending them out. And we see so many celebrities and regular people doing that online that people think that's just a regular thing. And people, kids have to understand that when you put something like that out there, it's something that can live forever.

It's something that can be sent and shared with the whole entire world you know yeah and i think that's something as a child people don't understand but go ahead i um i drove the school bus i've been in daycare and everything throughout my whole life ever since i've been out of high school and i lost my job over this it was like to me it was the best job i ever had and until this this case is over and everything, they, you know, they're trying to be lenient with me because they understand that she really did, you know, do something extreme. And I would have never done anything like that to her, but I'm like,

God, it was just like my, her life flashed before my eyes. And, you know, I know Charlamagne, I know you got kids and you got kids, you know, daughters, yeah. And I just want to know, like, what would you have done? Because I'm getting booked, and the sheriff's all telling me, you know, you did the right thing. I would have did the same.

But yet and still, I'm going to jail. You know what I'm telling me? Like, you know, I would have did the same. I would have did more to her. Wait, wait. So you whooped her out? You beat her up? I tore her butt up.

And then I messed around the school. Everybody told me the problem. What you mean tore her butt up? Like, there's a and took her to school. Everybody told me the problem. What you mean tore her butt up? Like there's a pop in and there's a beat of the black eye. I got a belt and I did what I thought my mother would have did, what I thought her mother would have did, and so on and so forth.

How bad? Like black eye bad? No, no. I see no black eye, no broken bones and all like that, but she is yellow. She bought your color. Okay. So, you know, it looked a little worse than it was and she, you know... You know, it's very hurtful to you that

she did something like that and I know that you... She did what? She doesn't understand what could potentially happen from that and that's what you really need to sit down... This is my daughter, though. I don't care what anybody says. She understood. Like, my kids, I homeschool my kids. I breastfed my kids. You know, like, I don't care what anybody says. She understood. Like, my kids, I homeschool my kids. I breastfeed my kids. You know,

they've never even been in daycare. Like, I'm a mom. I'm there, you know, teaching them. My motto is I don't even want a teacher to teach them something before I've already taught them, you know. The only thing you did wrong? I'm that. The only thing you did wrong was send them to school the next day. You shouldn't have sent her to school the next day, but you did what's right.

You should be able to discipline your child as long as you're not putting her in any type of danger or hurting her. We'll send her to school the next day. You shouldn't have sent her to school the next day, but you did what's right. You should be able to discipline your child as long as you're not putting her in any type of danger or hurting her. But back to these pictures, right, I really do think it is important for you

to just make sure that she understands that you love her and that's the reason why you don't want to see her do anything crazy that could affect the rest of her life.

Yeah, she seems to understand now, but I just, you know, I just want to know what the world would do. What would you do, Angela? What would you do, Charlamagne?

What would you do, Amy? Because what I did landed me in some water, and I don't wish that on anybody. But at the time, now they're like, she's failing in school because she's not living with me in my home. Oh, they took her away from you. Yeah, I have three other children. They're here, you know. Everybody's fine. All the other kids don't like to get a B on their report card.

Like, you know, my straight and narrow kids. My youngest, my oldest son skipped the grade. He skipped the first grade. Like, my kids are intelligent. She knew better. And now, you know what? Your daughter is really suffering the most from this because she's been taken away from you.

She's on her way back home now, but like I'm trying to like, you know, stretch it out because my other kids were mad at her and I wanted to make sure that you know, everybody was forgiving before, you know, she came back in the home. You know, it sounds like it's time for you guys to have a nice family.

Y'all gotta have a nice family, sit down and put everything out on the table and explain and just really just overdo everything with the love right now. I'm sorry. Because you said she does understand what she did is wrong. You feel like she'll never do something like that again?

I know. I know she won't. I hope she won't. You know, this is my... She's been my problem child. She's been the one where, you know, I really don't have a problem with any of my other kids. She's rebellious.

And she's at that age, I'm sure, where she's rebellious, too, because I remember being that age and really just going against everything. There's a lot of successful people, though, that ended up being rebellious at first. But, you know, later on, they saw how faith in her. But you know what? It was probably needed.

Like, my mom used to put hands on me. My dad never did. And I know for my wife, my wife's mom put hands on her definitely. And she deserved those hands. But I think now you need to have a conversation with her and really talk to her and really try to be a friend and really get into her head because you don't want her friends to get in her head and her to do some more stupid-ish. Right, right.

And you don't want her to feel alone and ostracized right now either or that you don't love her or anything like that. So you really need to just let her know that you want to do what's best for her. That's your daughter. You love her, and you want to make sure that she goes down the right path and that she doesn't ruin anything for herself. She doesn't embarrass herself. She doesn't get bullied at school.

She doesn't have something that's out there for the whole world to see that will be with her for the rest of her life, and you just have to let her understand that. Sorry, Mama. ASCII, 805585-1051. If you got a question for Yee, you can call at any time. Well, that was very deep today. Yeah, that was sad.

And you know what? There's not always one answer that we can give you for anything. But that lady lost her job, man. And all she was trying to do was really just discipline her daughter. And that's really crazy. And lost her daughter for a little while. Yeah, but I mean, if that's the case, if you have to discipline your child, just don't bring them to school the next day.

This is the truth. All right, we got rumors on the way? Yes, let's talk about Drake and French Montana. They did some 10 snipe commandments, and I want to see what you guys think about these rules that they live by. All right, all that and more. Keep it locked. This is The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. You want the latest gossip and entertainment news? Well, then don't go anywhere because the Rumor Report is up next. The Breakfast Club. Follow me in the guide. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Donald Trump.

This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee. Rumor has it. On The Breakfast Club. So listen up. Well, Donald Trump has been named Time Magazine's Person of the Year. He did an interview on NBC's Today Show with Matt Lauer. That's where they revealed the winner and who was going to be on the cover. Check out what he had to say.

Good morning. Last year, when Time did not choose you as Person of the Year and chose Angela Merkel, you said Time Magazine will never pick me as Person of the Year. They proved you wrong. How do you feel about this? Well, it's a great honor. It means a lot, especially me growing up reading Time magazine. And, you know, it's a very important magazine.

And I've been lucky enough to be undercover many times. But I consider this a very, very great honor. I mean, sadly, he is the Person of the Year because he was the executive producer of Celebrity Apprentice. He's now the 45th president of the United States of America. That's it. With no political experience whatsoever. Who else came up like that this year? Nobody.

Well, in 2012, he had tweeted out, I knew last year that Time magazine lost all credibility when they didn't include me in their top 100. So I guess now Time has their credibility back because he is the person of the year. All right. Drake and French Montana, they have these 10 snipe commandments. Now, French Montana liked these rules so much, these rules that they live by, that he actually had them printed out and framed some of the things in their bro code. Thou shall never pillow talk or discuss business with a ting.

True. On any import from the U.S., Canada, Europe, or any other region, thou shall practice a maximum three-day export rule to avoid frustration. What does that even mean? That you can only fly a girl in for three days. Oh, okay. Thou shall always be honest with a brother about a splash. Thou shall never tell a ting about another man's splash in order to execute his own splash.

This one was even more alarming. Thou shalt only splash unprotected if it's a must splash, or you are too fry, or you trust the vibe, or you plan to keep the vibe for a minimum of six months with four interactions within the allotted time period. Basically, when you say trust the vibe, that means that you just feel like she don't got no STDs. She don't look like she got nothing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You probably do.

What's that air wax thing you do? You probably try that. And what was the other thing you said? If you feel comfortable around it, what was it? You trust the vibe. You plan to keep that vibe for a minimum of six months. No. These guys are crazy.

These guys are crazy. That's not how any of this works. That sounds like French. This sounds like a terrible rule. Yeah, that sounds horrible. And you know what? I hope one of y'all girls trap one of them rich Negroes. Okay, if you know that they out here doing like that, make them feel like they the one. Thou shalt always lie to protect a brother's reputation

or the chance of a splash conversion in the near or distant future. Men don't cheat. He's a great guy. Thou shalt be allowed to hunt in all jungles unless a trespass has been enforced verbally. So everybody... You can smash everybody's open. Unless you say she's off limits. Right.

All right. Thou shalt use communication with a brother to avoid being blindsided by other hunters and poachers. They got too much time on their hands. Ain't nobody got a hold of that yet, but he must be too busy on me, because that's very misogynistic, don't you think? This sounds crazy. It sounds like women are definitely being objectified as an export. I guess y'all got too much on y'all plate this week dealing with me and Trevor Noah.

Well, this just happened. And listen, thou shalt never use hand-to-hand currency exchange to guarantee a splash unless hunting in exotic locations. So don't pay for it. Don't pay for Pum Pum unless you're in an exotic location. Unless you're in Dubai. Unless you're international. First of all, if you're in an exotic location, you should have flew something out. You know what I'm saying?

Hold on. I would say, y'all have to pay for it at all, period? Come on, guys. Especially if you're going to hit it raw. You paying to hit something raw that you don't know? These might be old rules and regulations. Well, he just posted them. Oh, damn.

I don't know, bro. All right. I hate to switch gears to this, but... Come on, give us a nice HIV age report. No. T.I. and Tiny's daughter, Zanique, and Little Wayne and Toya's daughter, Regine, are going to be joining Growing Up Hip Hop Atlanta. Okay. That's the cast that's going to be joining Growing Up Hip Hop Atlanta. Okay.

That's the cast that's going to be there. And Bow Wow is actually producing the show. So that's going to be on air in 2017. So congratulations to those young ladies for being on Growing Up Hip Hop Atlanta. They've joined the cast. Speaking of Atlanta, Stevie J is saying that he got beat up by Jocelyn while she's pregnant. Now, recently they had posted a video. He was over there.

She was cooking for him. So it seems like they made up because they hadn't been getting along at all. Now, he's saying that Jocelyn showed up uninvited to his house Sunday. That was the same day she was cooking for him and busted up his face and injured his eyes. Now, he is saying there was another encounter where she threatened

him, lunged at him, hurled paperwork, and unleashed a profanity-laced tirade. So I don't know what's going on, but he is filing a report about this, and he's saying that he wants her to get mental help right away. Oh, now you want Jocelyn to get mental help. You just realizing she need mental help? I'm telling you, mental help is the new I got hack, bro. I'm telling you.

As soon as somebody goes too far to your liking, you're like, oh, I'm a mental illness. Like, no. Nah, it's serious. Some people do need it. She's been needed. But she's pregnant too, so her hormones are racing too.

This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee. Rumor has it. It is Rumor 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. Well, Jeremiah has some of my favorite songs, and he was performing on stage in Chicago. He did two songs, and then this happened. Look. What happened now? So he said, there's some haters, F y'all. So people were complaining because they paid their money.

He's on tour at Party Next Door. Why he only did two songs, though? Well, he went on Twitter. He said, Chicago, you know I love y'all. I didn't say F y'all. I said, ah, there's you know I love y'all. I didn't say F y'all. I said, ah, they some haters. F y'all. Okay?

And he said he was talking to, I guess, the sound people that cut off his ears while he was performing. So I guess he couldn't hear anything. He said, truth is, they didn't want me to perform tonight. It's sad. People will take your money and blatantly make it seem like I only want to do two songs. Maybe he's mentally ill. Why is everybody mentally ill with you? I guess they cut him off after only two songs.

So he's saying he wasn't saying F.E.L. to the crowd. Oh, so it wasn't him that walked off the stage. He did walk off the stage, but he's saying he wasn't saying F.E.L. to the crowd. He was saying the sound people cut him off. Well, let's not rush the judgment. He could be mentally ill. Oh, stop it. All right.

Now, Khloe Kardashian, people were saying that she had a sweatshop after she posted some videos on Snapchat talking about her good American genes and how they are made. Listen to this. We are at my good American denim factory. Look at these rolls and rolls of

denim. Don't f*** it up. All the pressure's on you and my good American clients. Hand sanding each pair of denim. Absolutely crazy. She is actually putting every single hole in the ripped denim by hand on every single pair of jeans. That's absolutely crazy. What's the problem?

Well, people started saying she had a sweatshop and they were criticizing her, and she fired back and said, Watch your mouth. All make salaries, and all are employed in L.A. Know your info before you chime in. So she says that it means the world to her that her jeans are made in the U.S.A. The fact that she even had to respond to that is ridiculous. Plus, you know people be having jokes. Exactly.

Like, Jesus Christ, come on. You know, you just be like, LOL, come on, y'all. Y'all know this ain't a sweatshop. Yeah, if you know you paying your employees, what's the problem? Yeah, but she got offended and upset about that for whatever reason. All right, Mariah Carey. Now, there were these rumors that part of the reason why her engagement got broken off was because of her choreographer.

And he thought that she was romantically involved with her choreographer. But apparently now it seems like the two of them have been together quite a bit, and there's actually, according to Us Weekly, pictures of them. They were all over each other. They were not wanting to be more than a few feet apart. They swam in the ocean. He picked her up. He kissed her.

She was jumping into his arms, and he bent her back over his knee like they were dancing. They were holding hands. He gave her a piggyback ride. All of that. I do that with my wife all the time. Well, the only problem is this is her choreographer. No. So apparently some people are trying to say that they're dating now.

And that does seem like dating. That's good because Mariah's probably actually looking for love now. And that's how J-Lo came up. Remember, she started messing with her choreographer also. After a while, you gotta just lower your standards, okay? You dated Nick Cannon,

you had a couple kids, he's worth 50 million. You dated a billionaire, that didn't work out. So now you gotta really date for love. And he's 33 years old. Who's gonna love you

more than a young choreographer? They ain't got nothing. That's what I'm saying. Mariah means the world to him. He needs the job security. Congratulations to them. Drop one of the clues bombs from Mariah Carey in Bay.

Now let's go to court. We'll talk about Kevin Roper. That's the driver who struck Tracy Morgan and nearly killed him. He has pleaded guilty yesterday to vehicular homicide and four counts of aggravated assault from that crash that killed, of course, Tracy Morgan's

good friend, James McNair. Now, as part of that deal, he's going to do a three-year intervention program that includes 300 hours of community service. If he stays out of trouble, then the charges will be dropped. The judge will sign off on that deal. And, of course, we know Walmart did reach that settlement. You don't go to jail for killing people? Why, because it was an accident?

Yeah, it was an accident. Yeah, okay. All right, and Designer, by the way, his charges are also dropped. His charges for possession will go away. His record will be cleared. They have sealed the case, dismissed the charges yesterday also. So this was good news for Designer. He

initially had been hit with intent to sell, menacing, and possession of a loaded gun, but they never found a gun. The drugs were steroids that were most likely prescribed to the driver, who was also security, so all of that is cleared. Design ain't selling no drugs. Clearly using them, but he's definitely not selling.

Drop him on the clues bomb for design, damn it. Glad to hear the brother got his charges dropped. Yep. Alright, I'm Angela Yee, and that's your Rumor Report. Alright, Miss Yee, now shout to Revolt.
