Starting point is 00:00:00 Had enough of this country? Ever dreamt about starting your own? I planted the flag. This is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. 55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete. Or maybe not. No country willingly gives up their territory. Oh my God.

Wake up in the morning Wake up in the morning
Starting point is 00:02:19 I'm talking right now You're about to experience a morning show unlike any other. Shout out to the Breakfast Club. I hope to see y'all every morning. What you guys are doing right now is the hub culture. The Breakfast Club is my We'll be big time. DJ Envy, Angela Yee, and Charlamagne Tha God. The Breakfast Club, bitches. Break the f*** out. Hey, what's happening? Charlamagne Tha God, Angela Yee. DJ Envy is still on vacation.
Starting point is 00:03:04 Good morning, Angela Yee. DJ Envy is still on vacation. Good morning, Angela Yee. Good morning. Now, Envy said they're on strike in Paris or something's happening out there. They're on strike in Paris? What, the whole Paris is on strike? Like nothing's moving in Paris? He said... Or they're striking in Paris about something.
Starting point is 00:03:18 Let me see. I'm not... He said he was supposed to be back, but Paris is on strike. I don't think he's wording that right. I don't think he's wording that right. I don't think he's wording that right. I am almost positive he's not wording that right. Countries don't go on strike, do they? I mean, I'm not the highest grade in the league.
Starting point is 00:03:32 France is a country. Yeah, but I don't think the whole country would go on strike. He didn't say the whole country. He said Paris, not the country of Paris. What is Paris? What would Paris be considered? A city. Okay, so whole cities don't go on strike, right?
Starting point is 00:03:45 Let me see what happens when I Google Paris on strike. People in these cities go on strike, but, you know, New York just doesn't go on strike. Hey, New York's not open today. There's a Wildcat strike. What? French trains still disrupted by Wildcat strike on Sunday. So the Wildcats must be an organization, some type of group. Hmm.
Starting point is 00:04:04 Oh, it's over train staffing levels? I don't know. But I can't... I don't know if that affected the whole city. Hey, man. I'm a selfish American. Okay, look at this. I don't care what's going on. The industrial action began on Friday after a train in Northeast France slammed into a truck at a level
Starting point is 00:04:19 crossing, leaving 11 people injured. I don't know. Sounds like he wants to extend his trip. That's why you shouldn't get your news from DJ Envy. Okay, that's not the way we want to start things. Anyway, guess what day it is? Guess what day it is? What day?
Starting point is 00:04:37 Trevor Noah will be joining us today. I'm actually waiting for it to be the holiday season, but it doesn't quite feel like the holiday season yet. Hopefully next week when Halloween kicks in, then it'll start officially feeling like the holiday season, but it doesn't quite feel like the holiday season yet. Hopefully next week when Halloween kicks in, then it'll start officially feeling like the holiday season. I don't know why it doesn't feel like the holidays yet. Maybe because there's no... Christmas music starts around November 1st, maybe?
Starting point is 00:04:54 I don't even want the Christmas music yet. I just want it to feel like the holiday season. I don't feel that way yet. Well, I'll be in Atlanta for Halloween because we have Live Service Live on October 30th out there with YFN Lucci and Trouble and Johnny Blaze. So we're excited for that one. Yesterday I went to go see the slave play, which a lot of people have been
Starting point is 00:05:11 talking about. Do white people go to see that? A lot. Yes. It's on Broadway, so you know how it is. When you go to Broadway plays, most of the time it's a whole lot of white people. And I have to say, I didn't know what the play was about before I went to go see it. Called the slave play? I can take a wild gander. And you'd be wrong. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:05:29 So like I said, I didn't know what the play was about when I went to go see it. And so I went there with, shout out to Roshanna. We went to go see it together and we were looking at each other because white people were laughing at certain things. And I was like, okay, I don't know if I'm comfortable with this. And then the play takes a sudden turn. And you're like, oh, I had no idea this is what was happening. So it was very interesting. It does have a lot to do with therapy and counseling, I'll tell you that much. So it's not about slavery at all?
Starting point is 00:05:56 Not in the way that you think. And there's some scenes in there I know you'll love. So that's all I'm going to say about it because I don't want to give it away for anybody who wants to go see the slave play. But it is written by a black playwright. I believe he's the youngest black playwright to have a play on Broadway. Okay. I'm going to have to double check that, but it made me very interested to go see it because of that. Well, salute to that young man.
Starting point is 00:06:18 And like I said, Trevor Noah will be joining us today. I do not, I'm not sure. Oh, yeah. I don't know what Trevor's coming to promote, actually, but we'll find out. Who needs, who needs, why does Trevor have to come promote something? He's always a great person to talk to. Now we got front page news coming up, yeah? Um, yes. Okay, his name is
Starting point is 00:06:33 Jeremy O'Harris, by the way, who did the slave play. Jeremy O'Harris, what's happening? Shout out to him. Alright, yes, we are going to be talking about, what you think, Donald Trump. Mm-hmm. Okay, let's discuss. It's the Breakfast Club. No dangerous morning show at the Breakfast Club. Charlemagne Tha God, Angela Yee. Let's get in the front page news. Now,
Starting point is 00:06:49 last night, the Toronto Raptors beat the New Orleans Pelicans 130-122 in overtime. The only reason we're reporting that is because last night, the Raptors received their championship rings, and Drake even got one. Listen, drop on the clues bombs for Drake. I've never heard of that. I've never heard of that.
Starting point is 00:07:08 I've never heard of a super fan getting a ring along with the team. He works with the team. Oh, he does work for the team. You're absolutely right. And the L.A. Clippers beat the L.A. Lakers 112 to 102. All right, now what we got on the front page? And our Brooklyn Nets are playing tonight, right? I have no idea.
Starting point is 00:07:22 Miss San Antonio, if I'm not mistaken. All right, now let's talk about your president, Donald Trump. He's upset now because of this whole inquiry. And so what he's done and this possible impeachment he put on Twitter. So someday if a Democrat becomes president and the Republicans win the House, even by a tiny margin, they can impeach the president without due process or fairness or any legal rights. All Republicans must remember what they are witnessing here, a lynching. But we will win. Okay. So, of course, Donald Trump doesn't understand what it is to be lynched.
Starting point is 00:07:54 And Brittany Cunningham actually posted the whole history of lynching and the whole lynch law by Ida B. Wells, the black woman activist who forced America to reckon with her own racial terror to understand why lynching is not a term to toss around haphazardly. So you should read that when you get the opportunity. Now, top Republicans in Congress have this to say. Senate majority House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy said this about Donald Trump and his language. That's not the language I would use.
Starting point is 00:08:22 It's very clear that what the Democrats are doing here does not have due process. It's not fair in the process. It's not something that this House has done ever in the past. Mr. Leader, you said it's not the language you use. Why wouldn't you use that one? I don't agree with that language. It's pretty simple. All right. Now, U.S. top diplomat Taylor, who is in Ukraine, testified yesterday. Bill Taylor. He said he had been told President Donald Trump would withhold military aid to the country until a publicly declared investigations would be
Starting point is 00:08:52 launched that could help his re-election chances, including into former Vice President Joe Biden, and that's according to Bill Taylor's opening statement that CNN obtained. Listen, I'm not upset at everybody being upset at the word lynching, but once again, we are not upset at everybody being upset at the word lynching, but once again, we are getting upset and outraged over wording as opposed to actual systemic things that are in play that could oppress us all.
Starting point is 00:09:12 Okay, the way we are talking about Trump using the word lynching, we should be talking about the quid pro quo that Trump's guys are admitting to. Like, once again, Trump's crimes are being trumped by Trump's language. Like, we're outraged over the wrong things. And it's actually incredible to watch. It's incredible to. Like we're outraged over the wrong things. And it's actually incredible to watch. It's incredible to watch how we get outraged over the wrong things. Like this guy once again admitted to crimes in plain sight and then turns around and acts like, no, it's not a crime.
Starting point is 00:09:34 Tells us we're hearing things wrong. Donald Trump worded things wrong. It's insulting to America's intelligence. And it's so easy to manipulate this generation we are in because people aren't really paying attention because they'll get caught up on a word like lynching instead of the actual systemic things that are being done to ruin this country. Well, people are very actually, they're looking
Starting point is 00:09:52 at this testimony from Bill Taylor as yet another reason why he should be impeached. Yes. And they said that testimony is explosive and it's definitely fuel to that. So that is still continuing on. Yes, we should be outraged over that. Like that should be the on. Yes, we should be outraged over that. Like, that should be the conversation. Okay, racists use racist
Starting point is 00:10:08 language. So what? He said the word lynching. Okay, cool. That's fine. But let's be upset over the actual systemic things being done to kill this democracy. Yes, and you can be upset over both. Alright, well that is your Front Page News. That's right. Now we got Get It Off Your Chest coming up next. 1-800-585-1051

Yeah, that's true, but the more I buy, the more I smoke. So I can't do that. Bro, you smoke every day. Clearly you want to smoke every day.
Starting point is 00:15:13 Sometimes I only get the $35 though I'm trying to spend. That's why they just got to legalize weed so you can just buy you a pack of joints and be good.

It's called Get Off the Bus by Peter Logan. I had to put a pen name on it because it was a true story. My son's name is Logan. Can I buy it from Amazon? Yes, sir.

Starting point is 00:21:25 And oddly enough, when he said it, I didn't really think much of it. S***. We'll talk about it. It's The Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club. She's spilling the tea. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, congratulations to Drake.
Starting point is 00:21:46 He got his Raptors championship ring, and he got himself a second custom ring as well. So congratulations. Now, according to reports, this ring has 30 carats of diamonds, which is more than any other championship ring in history. They said that he actually had flown in the jeweler to Turks and Caicos for an emergency design meeting. And he wanted to make sure that it was
Starting point is 00:22:10 something that was very different, very special because it was near and dear to his heart. Well, listen, Drake earned that. He's a part of the organization. He actually works for the organization. He's the face of the organization in a lot of ways, especially since Kawhi Leonard left. I mean, women like Serge Ibaka, but I wouldn't say he's the face of the Raptors organization.
Starting point is 00:22:26 By the way, Serge Ibaka is the number one thirst trap on the gram. There is no video vixen, no Instagram model that thirst traps harder than Serge Ibaka. He needs to just drop a Neil Soul Afro beat to him. All right, and congratulations to Dwayne Wade. He signed a deal to be an NBA analyst for TNT. Makes sense. He'll be a regular analyst. And he'll be doing studio coverage of the NBA
Starting point is 00:22:46 on Tuesday nights alongside Shaq and Candace Parker. So he also has other projects covering sports, lifestyles, and entertainment across the company's various platforms. That's WarnerMedia. Well, no matter that, D-Wade's voice is necessary. He posted, I'm truly honored to be a part of the TNT family. I've sat back and watched you guys for years.
Starting point is 00:23:05 Create TV magic. I've watched this network give former players a voice and current players a platform. Word. All right, so Monica's divorce is finalized. She's divorced from ex-NBA player Shannon Brown. When she was on The Breakfast Club, this is what she had to say about her marriage. We were married, what, almost nine years? Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:23:23 And I think life changes really got the best of both of us at times. He also went through a lot of different life changes, you know. And I think that it took a toll because I probably didn't have enough around us to help us just facilitate what needed to happen. But, you know, it is what it is. Divorce is not being easy. And then everywhere I go, it's the first thing that comes up. But one thing about me, I'm going to respect them to the death, though.
Starting point is 00:23:49 Damn. That sucks, man. Well, she was in court, but Shannon did not even show up to court. So that meant that it was only a 10-minute court session. No drama at all. She's already changed her name back to her maiden name, Monica Arnold. I'm so used to her being Monica Brown. I'm so used to her being Monica Brown. I'm just used to her being Monica.
Starting point is 00:24:08 I never really thought about her last name. She's been married for almost 10 years. Listen, I pray I don't ever end up in that situation. Whatever change and growth happens with individuals, which is inevitable, I just hope that me and my wife continue to grow and evolve together. And this is why I think marriage counseling is good even when there are no problems in the relationship. This is why I think couples therapy is good even when there are no problems in the relationship. This is why I think therapy, couples therapy is good even when there are no problems in the relationship.
Starting point is 00:24:28 Well, they still have their cute six-year-old daughter together, Leah. So as for an agreement on child support, those details are all sealed in court. We don't know if they're playing spouse's support or what's happening there. All right. Now let's get into some comments that Tank made when he was on lip service. And by the way, I just want to say, Tank is a great conversationalist. I like him as a person.
Starting point is 00:24:48 And so here's what the conversation was about. I definitely had a guy say to me before, like, but I don't lie to you. I've only lied to you a couple times about women. I hear what he's saying. He's not a liar. He just lied twice. Doesn't that make you a liar?
Starting point is 00:25:04 No, because I've done construction a couple times, but I'm not a construction guy. So let's say a guy sucked a d*** one time. Jesus Christ. Does that mean that... What does that mean? He sucked a d*** once, right? And then he's like, I'm not sure if I liked it or not.
Starting point is 00:25:19 Let me try it again. Let me try it again. And then he says, you know what? It's not for me. Don't like the taste. But it doesn't mean he's gay. All right. So he was trying to prove a point about cheating. I must say that I had like three group chats going about this yesterday. All the guys in our group chat was talking about this. I don't know what being gay is then.
Starting point is 00:25:38 If I kill two people, am I a murderer? If I rob two banks, am I a bank robber? If you suck two penises, yes, you have been gay at least twice in your life. What Tank is essentially saying is, you know, said individual tried being gay and he realized he didn't like it, but that doesn't negate the fact that he participated in gay acts. But that doesn't mean you're gay just because you participated in that act. Because if you did something 10 years ago,
Starting point is 00:26:00 and then you're like, mm, this isn't me. He didn't say he tried it once, he said he tried it twice. Twice, right. I don't need a second time to try something to know I don't like it. Whoever Tank is talking about had a taste for penis. Well, he did go on his social media to clear things up. He posted, tune in to my interview with the ladies from Lip Service, which, by the way, we are on tour.
Starting point is 00:26:17 Our next stop is Charlotte on Sunday and then Silver Spring, Maryland on Monday. He said, great topics and great perspectives. We are all not the same. And the beauty of exchanging information is what I enjoy. Now, here was his explanation. I said what I said. Y'all so goddamn homophobic. You got to watch the whole clip in any event.
Starting point is 00:26:34 It's just homophobia is real. Let me just tell you that it's just as real as racism. And just as damaging. And it plagues our community to worse. This can't be used as a negative. You can't use a human being's existence as a negative. I get it. You want to call me gay, whatever. I don't have to defend that to you or to anybody. You don't have that power over me. What does this got to do with homophobia? Well, if you look at his comments, there's a lot of people saying
Starting point is 00:27:01 really homophobic things in his comments because you know how people are on social media. So somebody said you not allowed in Philly. And then Tank responded, I just did. I'm coming Saturday and we need to see you. And then somebody said you still posting. You been canceled. Everybody's calling him gay. They're telling him he got DSLs. Put them DSLs to work, y'all. What's wrong with that? That's a compliment.
Starting point is 00:27:22 I don't think that he meant it as a compliment. Listen, all I'm saying is don't try to... So I understand why he would say that, because I'm sure there's things that he's seeing that y'all not seeing on his page. That is true, but I wouldn't just call everybody homophobic. We're just asking a question. How many times do you have to suck a penis to be gay?
Starting point is 00:27:35 The same way you say, how many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll Pop? We just want to know the answer to the question, Tank. Maybe it should be a three-suck law. Okay, you know how some states have the three-scrack law when it comes to crime? This should be a three-suck law. If you suck a penis some states have the three-strike law when it comes to crime? This should be a three-suck law. If you suck a penis three times, you qualify as gay.
Starting point is 00:27:48 How about that? That's fair. I think what happened was he was trying to defend the whole, I lied twice, but I'm not a liar. And then when he got asked that, he kind of was backed in the corner, but he still was trying to defend his original statement. Hey, man, when you're backed in the corner, the best way to get out is to suck a penis, right? Twice.
Starting point is 00:28:02 That's what Tank said? That's not what he said. But anyway, we can discuss that more. That is your Rumor Report a penis, right? Twice. That's what Tank said? That's not what he said, but anyway, we can discuss that more. That is your rumor report. I'm Angela Yee. That's right. We got front page news up next. It's the Breakfast Club. Yes, it's the world's most dangerous morning show, the Breakfast Club. Charlamagne
Starting point is 00:28:15 to God, Angela Yee, DJ Envy is still on vacation. I'm going to be honest with you. I can't stop thinking about what Tank said. I bet. I really can't. I'm really thinking about this. If you suck a penis twice, you may not be gay, but at the least you're bisexual, right? Or it could have been that you did it twice and then if you never ever do it again in life,
Starting point is 00:28:33 that doesn't make you gay. Just don't wake up with the taste for penis. Don't people change, right, and evolve? Yeah, but at the least you're bisexual. If you did it twice, twice, once, I can see, okay, he experimented twice. Yeah, at the least. What if you're 18 the least you're bisexual. If you did it twice, twice, once, I can see, okay, he experimented. Twice? Yeah, at the least.
Starting point is 00:28:47 What if you're 18 and now you're 41 and you haven't done it since? You're bisexual at some point in your life. Okay, but you're not now. No. Okay, so there you have it. I don't know. I would like to expound on that conversation. Tank's not coming up here this week.
Starting point is 00:29:00 It's front page news. Now, the Toronto Raptors beat the New Orleans Pelicans 130-122 in overtime. The Raptors received their championship rings last night. Even Drake got one. And the LA Clippers beat the LA Lakers 112-102. People are reading too much into these games so early. It's the first game of the season. We still don't know who the best team in the NBA is,
Starting point is 00:29:19 but the Clippers do look good, and they did all of that last night without Paul George. So we'll see. And don't forget that our Brooklyn Nets are playing tonight at home. Alright. Now let's talk about a school resource officer who is out of a job because of body cam. It shows that
Starting point is 00:29:34 school resource officer using force against an 11-year-old girl student. She did get a minor concussion after the officer pushed her against the wall, later held her to the ground. Now the incident also resulted in the reassignment of a supervisor who reviewed that but didn't even flag this behavior as unacceptable this happened in new mexico and it began on august 27th an 11 year old girl threw her milk on the ground in the cafeteria after she was told she could only take
Starting point is 00:30:01 one that's when school officials asked school resource officer Zach Christensen to assist with a disruptive student. And Christensen came. He was told that there were prior disciplinary issues they'd had with that girl. Later, you can see she's standing in a doorway. He pushes her into a wall. They end up on the ground. He's holding her down while commanding her to put her arms behind her back. She's saying, Al, you're hurting me.
Starting point is 00:30:24 You can't give me all these commands and expect me to do every single one of them at once. Then you can hear an employee saying, let her stand, and he tells that person, we're past that. And then there's a struggle, and everybody's saying she's not a threat to yourself or others at this moment. You can hear people saying that.
Starting point is 00:30:40 He says she is. We're at the point of arrest. She's only 11 years old. Is we're past past that the mayonnaise flavored version of this above me now? I mean, 11 year old girl and you have to use physical force against her and have her on the ground
Starting point is 00:30:54 and she's saying you're hurting me and she gets a concussion. I don't know what they expect of a father or any parent in that situation. Like what am I supposed to do if I see you handling my little girl like that? I'm supposed to just stand there and respect you because you're the
Starting point is 00:31:06 school resource officer? No, I'm going to bust your head open to the white meat. And he deserves that. Now, here's another difficult story. Police have been looking for a five-year-old
Starting point is 00:31:16 Navia Lachey Adams. She's been missing since August. And they did just find her body in a South Carolina landfill. She was reported missing after a family member discovered her mother dead in her apartment. Oh, God. Dante Maurice Johnson was taken into custody after witnesses said they saw him leaving the apartment and he told the police that he killed both of them and that he dumped her body in a dumpster.
Starting point is 00:31:40 The dumpster had already been emptied and now they have found her body really sad. Listen, protect the babies, man. Keep an eye on your village. This has to be a collective effort, okay? I understand that everybody's moving as individuals, and everybody got their own individual families, but we all have to protect each other's kids. We just have to. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:31:59 All right. Well, I just wanted to give you guys an update because I remember we reported on that story, and unfortunately, there's no good news with that. That is your... Did they catch the person who did it at least? Yeah, he already said that he did it
Starting point is 00:32:09 and he killed both of them and he's the one that told police that he put her body in a dumpster. So... See, guys like that shouldn't even be isolated.
Starting point is 00:32:17 Dante Maurice Johnson, again. They should keep them in general, Pop, and, you know, turn a blind eye every couple hours. Let the wolves handle that one. All right. Well, that is your front page
Starting point is 00:32:28 news. I'm Angela Yee. That's right. And we got my guy, you know, DC Young Fly said he looks like a meerkat. I don't I can see the resemblance, but he's still a great individual. His name is Trevor Noah from The Daily Show. He's coming up next on the world's most dangerous morning show, The Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:32:45 Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired, depressed, a little bit revolutionary? Consider this. Start your own country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There's 55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete.
Starting point is 00:33:02 Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Laudonia. I it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Ladonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Kaperburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. The Waikana tried my country. My forefathers did that themselves.
Starting point is 00:33:16 What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory. I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead. Oh my God. What is that? Bullets. Bullets. We need help! We still have the off-road portion to go. Listen to Escape from Zakistan. And we're losing daylight fast.

Starting point is 00:35:39 Listen to Civic Cipher every Saturday on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Yep, it's the world's most dangerous morning show, The Breakfast Club. Shalameen the God, Anjali Yee, DJ Envy is on a little mini vacation. We got a special guest in the building, my man Trevor Noah is here. What's going on? Thanks for having me, everybody. How do you feel, Trev? I've always wanted to know, why do you call it the world's most dangerous show? What is that about?
Starting point is 00:36:02 I think it might have been more dangerous than it used to be. Meaning that people used to actually be afraid to come up here. Oh. They feel like they survived afterwards. It's kind of like the Eminem and 8 Mile thing. We kind of like would say what people thought about us before, you know. And then they come on the show. Yeah, and realize, oh, it's not that bad.
Starting point is 00:36:19 It's not dangerous up here. I feel great. No, no, no. I just wondered. You never know. We used to have t-shirts that said, I survived the Breakfast Club. I like that. Yeah. I would like one of those t-shirts. So what do you think is going to happen when this whole thing with Donald Trump one day, hopefully really soon, comes to an end? You think there'll be tons of movies and...
Starting point is 00:36:36 When it comes to an end? It's not coming to an end. I hope so. Here's the thing I think people take for granted. This guy feels like he was robbed of the election when he won. What is he going to do when he loses? I'm being for real about this, by the way. I think people take for granted that that guy thinks everything is a conspiracy.
Starting point is 00:36:56 Trev, you're smarter than me. Please explain this to people because I've been trying to tell people this. It's not going to be a peaceful transfer of power. I don't think it's going to be a transfer of power at all. I don't think he's going anywhere. I don't think Donald Trump does anything normally. I wouldn't be shocked if he just goes like, I'm not leaving the White House. I don't think it's going to be a transfer of power at all. I don't think he's going anywhere. I don't think Donald Trump does anything normally. I wouldn't be shocked if he just goes like, I'm not leaving the White House. I'm not leaving. I could see him just being like,
Starting point is 00:37:09 I'm not leaving. There were fake votes. Three million fake Mexicans voted. I'm not leaving. And you know what's weird about America is America has all these rules where you guys have just agreed to things, but it's not like written down properly. And then they'll just be like, but you're supposed to leave, Donald. He's like, I'm not leaving. And then when you have William Barr, the head of the DO leave, Donald. He's like, I'm not leaving. Right. And then when you have William Barr, William Barr's the head of the DOJ. And he'll say, we did
Starting point is 00:37:27 challenge the election. Exactly. Run it up to the Supreme Court. And you know what I love about, whenever you say stuff like this, people be like, but you know what, our Constitution, man, Constitution, Donald Trump doesn't care. He's wiping his ass with it. He does not care about the Constitution. You see how he is. It makes great material, but it's also like, this is amazing that this is even happening. Yeah. You look at them saying, yes, we did Queer Pro Crow. It's okay. We do it all the time. I don't think it makes great material, to be honest.
Starting point is 00:37:51 I think things that make great material are things that you have to turn into material. What I don't like about Donald Trump as a comedian is like, anyone can just do a Donald Trump joke. It's too easy. Right. You know what I mean? The whole thing is a joke. But how funny is fascism, though? It's not fascism yet.
Starting point is 00:38:07 It's there. No, but that's the thing about That's the thing about America The road to fascism has always been paved with democracy But I don't think we should live in an alarmist place Where we go like it's happening now Donald Trump is not Hitler Not yet But he's not now And the thing is America is in a place where
Starting point is 00:38:22 For the most part You guys have built a pretty solid country. Like, the fact that people can be talking about impeachment, this is, it's a solid process. Yeah, there's been a few, you know, I always think Donald Trump pokes holes in your boat. Like, he shows you where all the leaks are. But for the most part, Charlemagne, I don't think, I don't think you're there yet. It's the fact that he does not give a f*** about democracy in any way, shape, or form. He's lawless.
Starting point is 00:38:45 Like, he doesn't care. Yeah, but the biggest thing you shape, or form. He's lawless. He doesn't care. Yeah, but the biggest thing you guys have in your favor is your military. Your military doesn't go... Your military likes following the rules. They love following the rules. And that's the big thing in every country around the world. When fascism comes, the guy goes like, yo, military, you with me? And they're like, general, we are with you. And then there's a coup.
Starting point is 00:39:02 So it turns the military against the people. Yeah, but I mean, I don't see that happening in America. The military goes, we go with the. And then there's a coup. So turn the military against the people. Yeah, but I mean, I don't see that happening in America. The military goes, we go with the rules. And that's it. Now, do you think people will forgive Donald Trump if he was singing a Fuji song and he said the N-word? I think people will be more impressed that he knows a Fuji song. If he sang a Fuji song? Oh, man, that's a funny idea.
Starting point is 00:39:21 What if he said ninja instead? I'm just picturing Donald Trump sitting there with a selfie camera singing the food. Ready or not, here I come. You can't hide. You had some interesting things to say about Gina Rodriguez, though. And we played that up here, actually, on the Breakfast Club. Oh, you did? Yes, in the rumor report.
Starting point is 00:39:36 Right. Your advice that you gave to artists to just do like how they do radio versions. Yeah, so here's what I was saying. It's a joke, but I mean, look, I get it. I get the confusion, you know, and I think in America,
Starting point is 00:39:48 I understand that there's a fundamental confusion that happens in and around hip hop. And some people don't understand the sensitivities that they need to have
Starting point is 00:39:59 in and around words that they're using on. It's like, it's not like you can't use the word, you can use it, but then don't be shocked when something happens to you. Absolutely. You know? And so like you can't use the word, you can use it, but then don't be shocked when something happens to you, you know?
Starting point is 00:40:06 And so you've got to be the kind of person who says, look, man, I understand the sensitivities around this. I may have grown up with hip hop. I may have identified with black culture, but I also understand fundamentally as a person, you've got to be like, you've got to be the kind of person who says, look, I also understand that I'm not black or I have not lived the black experience. I may have lived as a part of it. Right.
Starting point is 00:40:27 But there's something that comes with that. Whereas black people, we go like, yo, it's like the one perk to the oppression is getting the N-word in a weird way. And I think people always change the lyrics. Like if you're a heterosexual man singing a woman's lyrics, they'll change those words to suit who they are. Here's the thing with me. People censor themselves all that. You ever rapped around your mom when you were young? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:47 Everyone censored their words. No one slipped up. You know what you can't say. No one slipped up and said a curse word in front of their mom or their gran or their aunt or something. Everyone knows how to censor themselves. So I don't get why people make it such a tough thing. She's like, it's my favorite song. I just, I can't.
Starting point is 00:41:01 What am I supposed to do? What about when you caught up? I'm just playing white Devil's Advocate. When you caught up in the moment. When you caught up in the moment, you had a concert. Are you in the car? Yes. Are you on your IG live?
Starting point is 00:41:12 Yes. Sometimes you might just come out. You're never caught up in the moment, man. There's no such thing. Maybe. You don't know the lyric? The N-word just pops around the corner, surprises you? You didn't know it was coming?
Starting point is 00:41:21 Yeah, but it don't give you the same feeling. Because I never hesitate to put a, whoa! That came out of nowhere. Oh, I didn't know it was coming? Yeah, but it don't give you the same feeling. Because I never hesitate to put a... That came out of nowhere? Oh, I didn't expect that. Caught me off guard, Charlemagne. I had to say it. I did agree with you that rappers have the power to change the narrative, though. Well, I was saying it as a joke,
Starting point is 00:41:37 and I was just like, they should just make another version. Like a radio. I think they should make a non-black people version that everyone can rap along to. Like they just find like an alternate word and then everyone can just rap. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:41:48 And I use the word. It never feels good using it. And I also feel like, imagine you was teasing somebody their whole life and then they finally started calling themselves what you've been calling them
Starting point is 00:41:57 as an insult. Right. That's what I think old white people look at the N-word as. Yeah, I also think white people didn't think the N-word could be cool like that.
Starting point is 00:42:04 I think that pisses a few white people off. They thought it was only going to be like a word of oppression, and then black people made it a cool thing. And then they're like, I want it back now. And it's like, no, no, no, it's done. But then what about the older black people who are like, why do y'all call yourselves that? I understand it as a joke.
Starting point is 00:42:18 I don't think there's a right or wrong answer. I just know that it's black people who should be deciding the thing. That's all I know. Because it's hard to individualize, like say, well, this person grew up and then it's just there's no way you can make a rule for me. No right or wrong answer. I get like there's a lot of older black people who would be like, you just you we got to get rid of that word and it never existed. And you you holding us back. And then young black people are like, no, people are still going to say that word. So I'm going to I'm going to own that word as a young black man So I'm going to own that word as a young black man. I'm going to own that word as a young black woman. I'm going to own that word before somebody tries to own me with that word. All right, we got more with Trevor Noah coming up on the World's Most Dangerous Morning Show, The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:42:54 Yep, it's the World's Most Dangerous Morning Show, The Breakfast Club. Charlamagne Tha God, Anjali Yee, DJ Envy is still on vacation, but we're talking to my man Trevor Noah right now. Trevor, what are your thoughts on cancel culture? Here's what I don't like about cancel culture. I don't like that there are no terms. I don't like that cancel culture does not come with any specified type of punitive... Rules.
Starting point is 00:43:15 Like rules or ideas. So a lot of the people who participate in cancel culture are the same people who are for prison reform. And I know the two are not the exact same thing, but it operates in the same people who are for prison reform and i know the two are not the exact same thing but it operates in the same space of as society what do we hope to do with people who have wronged us do we wish to banish them to the outskirts of civilization or do we wish to educate them inform them punish them when, and then rehabilitate them and have them come back into society. So if somebody says something trash online, right?
Starting point is 00:43:49 And a lot of the, I would say like nine out of 10 people, they're not trying. They're not trying to say something trash. They're not trying to be, they're not trying. A lot of the time people are not trying. And then people come in and they go, you need to be canceled. You're trash. That's it. You cancel.
Starting point is 00:44:05 I'm like, what does canceled mean? My problem with canceled is inherently what it means is you are now ousted from our society. But I always ask the question is I go like, where do you think those people go? We're creating a community of canceled people who have no option other than to be canceled with each other. And those people are not going to be. They have no vested interest. Although I feel like usually it's very temporary. No, but I think I don't think it is in many ways. be cancelled with each other and those people are not going to be they have no vested interest in not becoming part of society.
Starting point is 00:44:26 It's very temporary. No, but I think I don't think it is in many ways. That neighborhood would be fired up. Yeah. Cancel parties would be fired.
Starting point is 00:44:32 Cancel parties would be fired. Because I've seen people get cancelled and then things are back to normal two days later. Yeah, but there's varying degrees
Starting point is 00:44:38 of being cancelled. There's what? There's varying degrees. I agree with you. Some of it is superficial. People are cancelled and then they just carry on the next day.
Starting point is 00:44:44 Right. But I do think it would be nice to are like, canceled, and then they just carry on the next day. Right. But I do think it would be nice to say like, hey, how do we engage with this person? Hey, Charlemagne, you said this
Starting point is 00:44:51 and it hurt me. All right, how do we talk to Charlemagne and go like, yo, this is the thing, this is the thing. You never know. Charlemagne might be like,
Starting point is 00:44:57 all right, I wasn't trying to do that and now I understand. But you know when people are not likely to join in with you is when you just pile on and you're like, screw you, Charlemagne,
Starting point is 00:45:04 piece of trash. And then the person's back against the wall. They're like, yeah, well, you know what? That's likely to join in with you Is when you just pile on and you're like Screw you Charlamagne piece of trash And then the person's back against the wall They're like yeah well you know what That's who I am Black everybody And that's why you need redemption culture But what you also said creates these super villains right Yeah
Starting point is 00:45:14 Cause you got all these people attacking somebody And they're back against the wall It genuinely does Now those people that like that person Are like how the fuck that So now it's a war You have a moment as a person You have a moment as a person I remember when I was, it's a war. You have a moment as a person. You have a moment as a person.
Starting point is 00:45:25 I remember when I was in school, I got bullied hard when I was in, what was it, grade four, five. And these kids were relentless. I mean, every single recess, they would bully me and they just teamed up as a group and they just came after me.
Starting point is 00:45:40 About what? Anything, man. They were like, yo, this kid's got a fat ass. He's got like wide feet. He's got what? Like, I. They were like, yo, this kid's got a fat ass. He's got like wide feet. He's got what? Like, I'm serious. That stuck with me
Starting point is 00:45:48 for like, until like Sinbad became a legend. Wait, a fat ass? Like Sinbad changed my life. Sinbad set me free. Because before then, I was just like,
Starting point is 00:45:57 I'm doomed in this world. Wait, Sinbad has a fat ass? No, they were just like, Sinbad, he's tall, he's yellow, he's got a high ass. It's Sinbad. Oh, hi, okay. And I was like, yo, tall, he's yellow, he's got a high ass. It's him, babe. Oh, hi, okay.
Starting point is 00:46:05 And I was like, that's me. And so, and so like these kids, and you know, kids, they don't need a thing. That's the thing about kids. They don't need a thing.
Starting point is 00:46:14 And these kids came at me and it was relentless. And I will never forget the day when I decided, I was like, you know what? I'm going to be their enemy. I'm going to dedicate every single moment of my
Starting point is 00:46:26 day and my life to destroying them as a group. That destroys you. But that's what happens to any person when you come at them. The animal in us comes out. We're in a corner and we go, okay, I guess this is it now. If you give people an option to join you,
Starting point is 00:46:42 then you exist in a space where it's like, okay, okay, hey, not cool. And look, there's always going to be people who are problematic regardless. But I think a lot of people out there are willing to say, I messed up. I wasn't trying to do that or my bad or now I understand. And I think we should live in a world where
Starting point is 00:46:58 we give people an opportunity to come back in. Intention matters. Definitely. I've always said that. A lot of people say they don't agree with that. I completely agree with that. I also think it's ridiculous to judge people based off old stuff. You know what I'm saying? Like old things they said. Like Muhammad Ali said, a person who thinks the same way at 50 that he did at 30 was the 20 years of his life.
Starting point is 00:47:16 Right. So how can you judge somebody based on what they said at 20 years old? Here's my bigger issue with that. My bigger issue is not that we judge people about what they said or did a long time ago. I have two problems. One, I find it interesting that we live in a culture where people will judge just random civilians by what
Starting point is 00:47:34 they did back in the day more than they will judge politicians. My tweets have never affected your housing. My tweets have never affected your schools. But people treat it like that. Whereas politicians just go like, well, I changed and I evolved, my views evolved. And people are like, yeah, but the person's changed now. It's like, yeah, but those things actually affected you.
Starting point is 00:47:52 Right. And the second part of it is, to your point, I think we always forget when we judge people for what they said in the past, that they were part of a society. I see this happen all the time with comedians. People go like, I can't believe this comedian was telling these jokes. Look at these clips from 1985. Look what this comedian was saying. Look at the world in 85.
Starting point is 00:48:13 And you're like, no, but you realize there's an audience there, right? You realize comedians, we are existing in society. People are laughing with us in our shows. We are a snapshot of the time. The things Chris Rock is saying today are happening today.
Starting point is 00:48:29 When he's talking about mass shootings, it's because they're happening right now. When you go back in time, he's talking about what's happening back then. Billy Dee Williams, he's talking about what's happening back then. Eddie Murphy apologized for something. He said he wouldn't say that now. There's like no comedian
Starting point is 00:48:45 who would say something that they said 20 years ago because society has changed from 20. Especially if you're talking about society. Some comedians have benign jokes just about the world. What's up with escalators? You ever notice how?
Starting point is 00:48:56 That's that's different. But if you talk about politics and if you talk about the world, that is constantly and always changing and evolving. And so my issue is we oftentimes want to pin it on individuals because we do not want to blame ourselves as a society.
Starting point is 00:49:10 Yes. We do not want to admit that we were all a part of that culture. Yes. You're going to make it like one comedian with his or her tweets was being homophobic and that's what was blocking gay people all over America. I think if you look deeper, you will find that everyone was a part of that. Everyone was opposed to gay marriage. Everyone didn't think that gay people should exist.
Starting point is 00:49:29 A lot of people thought gay people had problems in their heads. And now when societies move forward, people now want to look back and then point at one person and be like, you thought that on your own. Did they think it on their own? And I think a lot of the time we're afraid as society or we don't want to admit the truth in society that we existed as a problematic culture. And that's the beauty.
Starting point is 00:49:48 We're supposed to move forward. We are supposed to move forward. And learn from your past. But we constantly do that. Guys, Barack Obama was opposed to gay marriage. Do you know what I mean? Yeah. Which politician wasn't?
Starting point is 00:50:00 Think about it. And then now, now every politician, and then there's still politicians who are against gay marriage but most of society goes like no we made a mistake and we're moving forward and people were against legalizing marijuana
Starting point is 00:50:10 exactly it was criminalized look at how many members of the black community were like no we need this three strikes rule we need a war on drugs
Starting point is 00:50:17 we need to come off and now now people look back you can only work with the information you have when you have that information
Starting point is 00:50:23 and often times in society, we learn, we change, we evolve. What I don't like is isolating individuals and saying, you are the problem. You alone were the problem. It's like, no, you were clearly a part of a world that thought that this was acceptable. Because there's a reason the tweets
Starting point is 00:50:39 didn't blow up back then. Right. Because people were like, yeah, whatever. I will be back to have more of a conversation with our guy Trevor Noah right here on the World's Most Dangerous Morning Show, The Breakfast Club. Yep, it's the World's Most Dangerous Morning Show, The Breakfast Club. Shalameen the God, Anjali Yee. DJ Envy is still
Starting point is 00:50:56 on vacation, but we're talking to my man Trevor Noah right now. Anjali Yee. Now what about Matt Lauer? What are your thoughts on what's happening with him? Oh Jesus, I don't know because a new thing comes out every week. What are you talking about specifically? Because every time someone says Matt Lauer, there's something new. Well's happening with him? Oh, Jesus, I don't know, because a new thing comes out every week. What are you talking about specifically? Because every time someone says Matt Lauer, there's something new. Well, now is the, I think she was a producer that came forward and said that she had a relationship with him, but that she told him no to anal, and then it still happened, and then he retaliated against her.
Starting point is 00:51:18 This is the first time he's really, like, given a whole statement about, you know, how this is just ridiculous now, and I'm going to stand up for myself and so on and so forth. What did you think about that? The whole story is they slept together. Okay. He asked to have anal sex with her. Uh-huh. She said no.
Starting point is 00:51:34 Right. Then they slept together several times after that. Okay. After the initial time when she said that she was raped, they slept together several times after that. Right. And I think this is the constant conversation that we need to talk about in society. And you know what's crazy to me is we've had like no forum.
Starting point is 00:51:51 We have no larger discussions around consent. Okay. Let's be honest. Consent is something that has been robbed of many individuals in their lives. Right. America fundamentally. You know, I remember a beautiful quote someone said to me, like America was built on a world of no consent. Black bodies were taken without their consent. Women's bodies were taken without their consent.
Starting point is 00:52:13 And this has happened around the world. Consent has always been growing and evolving. I understand why some people would say, oh, but then she was sleeping with him it's like yeah man if you understand the human mind and if you know how we are a person who does something wrong to you has an interesting hold over you sometimes taking some power from you
Starting point is 00:52:32 so I get where some people are oh but then it's like yo someone can do something wrong to you people stay in abusive relationships
Starting point is 00:52:38 a parent people are like why are you still with him a parent people stay in abusive relationships with their parents
Starting point is 00:52:44 all the time. You know, and you'll be like, why do you still love your parent? Yeah, but then my mom said, man, life, our minds, the world are extremely complicated. I don't think that
Starting point is 00:52:54 should take away from somebody saying, hey, I said no, and I don't care if it was a boyfriend or a husband. I said no, and he didn't listen. There was a time when
Starting point is 00:53:03 marital rape wasn't a thing. Right. Yeah, absolutely right. They were like time when marital rape wasn't a thing. You can't rape your wife, she's your wife. Because she's your wife doesn't mean she's your property. She still has the right to say no. And I think we need to get out of existing in a world where we blame the victims in those situations and start looking at the situations that have
Starting point is 00:53:17 created or the situations that have allowed them to become victims. How can we even begin to have all of these conversations though? Everything from like cancel culture with society changing. I honestly don't know. I don't know either. But we need to. Because we're all on these individual journeys. No, we need to.
Starting point is 00:53:33 But we need to. I honestly think we need to. Like just consent is one of the big ones where I go, my mission in life now is to try and find a way for us to sit down and write some sort of manifesto or a thing that people don't know what the rules are. And nobody wants to talk about this. No one wants to be honest about it.
Starting point is 00:53:50 Men and women I've actually learned where they're like, oh, I didn't actually think of it that way. I thought I was a willing participant or I thought that was the rule and that's how it was supposed to be. And I think it would be great if somewhere, somehow, we just sat down and we had a conversation as people went,
Starting point is 00:54:05 hey, if you could write down a list of rules, how would people approach situations? How would they work through situations? Because I remember asking women at my office one day, I said, hey, we did the sexual harassment training. Everyone goes through it. And there were a few things where I was like, well, you're not allowed to approach someone at work and this and this.
Starting point is 00:54:22 And then I was like, but some people are married in the office. I was like, hey, when your dude approached you, what was that? And they would be like, oh, that was romantic and it was flirty and he'd leave things at my desk. Doesn't that fall under the you can't rape your wife type of thing? No, no, no. But then they would go, it's not though, because that's not consent. Like the person didn't say no. Right.
Starting point is 00:54:40 There's a difference. She liked him. It was a courting situation. No, I thought you said if a couple approached you. No, no, no. No, he thinks that people are married, so how did it start? Exactly. They married in the office. Oh, got a courting situation. No, I thought you said of a couple approach. No, no. No, he thinks that people are married, so how did it start?
Starting point is 00:54:46 Exactly. They married in the office for them to even get in a relationship. So what I'm saying is a person, then I would ask, and then the interesting
Starting point is 00:54:52 answer was, a lot of the women would go, if any other guy had done that, it would have been creepy. But I liked him, and I thought it was cute that he was leaving things
Starting point is 00:55:01 on my desk every day. Right. And I said, but you do realize, now as the boss, if I saw that, I'd have to shut that down because some guy can't be just leaving things on my desk every day. And I said, but you do realize now as the boss, if I saw that, I'd have to shut that down because some guy can't be just leaving things on your desk every day. That could be sexual harassment.
Starting point is 00:55:11 And they were like, damn, I never thought of that. Yeah, you don't realize how confusing that is? It's very confusing. It is. Either it's wrong or it's wrong. It can't be wrong based off if I like you or not. But it is wrong based off if I like you or not. And that is exactly consent, Charlamagne.
Starting point is 00:55:22 Nice. If I come and I hug you as your friend, as Charlamagne, I hug you. A hug is not a wrong thing, but if some random person in the street comes and grabs you and hugs you, you're like, you don't know me. It is wrong because of how you feel about the person,
Starting point is 00:55:36 and that is part of the conflict. That's what makes consent complicated. That happens to us all the time, though. Yes. Because of who we are. But I don't want you, you don't have a right to my body just because you know me from TV or whatever. Approach me as a human being.
Starting point is 00:55:48 Greet me. If you ask me, can I get a hug? I can say yes or no. I also don't owe you a hug because you watch my show. I will choose to give you a hug or I will say no, thank you. But what I'm saying is consent is directly linked to whether or not the person, that is the rule. Has a woman ever made you uncomfortable at work? No, never at work.
Starting point is 00:56:07 No, I'm really lucky. Never, ever, ever at work. Question. But in the world... In the world, yes. What if you ask me for a hug? Yes. I say yes.
Starting point is 00:56:15 And when I hug you, I notice you're having an erection. Well, you see, your narcissism has caused you to believe that I didn't come with an erection. You think that I got erect hugging you, Charlamagne. That's your problem in life. You think I got a hard- got erect hugging you, Charlamagne. That's your problem in life. You think I got a hard-on
Starting point is 00:56:28 because of you, Charlamagne? Have you seen yourself? I might have had a hard-on because I was hanging out with my woman and then it's like, oh, there's Charlamagne. Let me go say hi.
Starting point is 00:56:35 And then you think that this erection is for you now? You don't know what's going on with the blood in my body, Charlamagne. Oh, my God. How dare you? Listen, I don't know
Starting point is 00:56:44 if we'll ever get to the point where we can have those conversations, though. No, we can't. I genuinely think we can. We just have to find the space and we'll find a way. I'll make it my mission.
Starting point is 00:56:51 I promise you this. It has to be the right time, the right place. Listen, I've tried. I tried four or five years ago to have these same conversations. Right, but sometimes people may go,
Starting point is 00:56:59 is Charlamagne the right guy to have it at that time? I think it needs to be a conversation led by women and then men participate in it. I was having a conversation based off things that I've been through. No, I understand, but I'm just saying, if you situate it in the right way...
Starting point is 00:57:11 Sometimes it's important for men to listen, too, instead of trying to lead the conversation, to hear what women have to say. But I was acknowledging bulls**t that I've done. They said I raped my wife because I read an article in Teen Vogue and the article was, is drunk sex rape? I'm talking about the first time me and my wife because I read an article in Teen Vogue and the article was is drunk sex rape. Right.
Starting point is 00:57:25 I talked about the first time me and my wife had sex with each other. I guess kind of the same thing you're talking about. I understand what you're saying. And we were drunk. But clickbait is dangerous.
Starting point is 00:57:32 I remember that happening to you. I think what you were talking about is an interesting conversation. Now you oftentimes are not the most delicate when speaking about certain issues. Very true.
Starting point is 00:57:41 And so I understand why you get into trouble a lot of the time. But I do get the conversation you were trying to have. Right. And it is a why you get into trouble a lot of the time. But I do get the conversation you were trying to have. And it is a tough one. We don't talk enough about how to engage with each other when there is
Starting point is 00:57:51 alcohol. That's very true. Because people just say... Because if a woman, if she was next day would have said, oh my god did we... I didn't even mean to do that. I was so drunk. Did we have sex? Right. If she didn't like you and she didn't want to do it, in retrospect the next day and had no idea it happened she could say right it's it's it's a that is that is i promise you now that is a really complicated conversation again that we're
Starting point is 00:58:15 not having properly because think about how how much we worked on the messaging in and around drinking and driving yes we worked hard and they told us, look, drinking and drive, you cannot drink and drive. If you've had a drink, you throw those keys away. Right. That messaging became solid and it became clear that drinking and driving do not mix. You should not be doing it. So while we're having a conversation around alcohol and sex,
Starting point is 00:58:41 we also need to be talking about consent. While we're talking about consent, we also have to talk about toxic masculinity and the way men see themselves in relation to a woman. And a lot of the time, that's why men are doing what they're doing. You know, men don't take rejection well because it's somehow tied into their idea
Starting point is 00:58:58 of how manly they are. I remember growing up with Aaliyah. Listen to those lyrics today, people. If at first you don't succeed, dust yourself off and try again, try again. What would you do to get to me? What would you say to have your way? Would you give up or try again if I hesitate to let you in?
Starting point is 00:59:13 You don't even got to go that far back. You can go to how many drinks does it take for you to get with me? Blame it on the alcohol. But I'm saying like, and so what we don't realize is we also have to go like, oh, man, how are we being programmed? What have we thought is acceptable? How do we think it's acceptable? And how do we change those things?
Starting point is 00:59:30 It's time. And that's, you know what I mean? Someone needs to write an R&B song where it's like, you know what I mean? Like, girl, we drunk, live in the club. Let's just sleep. Tomorrow we'll be sober. And then we see if we have sex. Like, that's what we need to do.
Starting point is 00:59:42 People need to write new songs. Like Miguel, everyone. That's the challenge I send to you guys. Write consent songs. Write songs where it's, like, very clear. Yeah. And then I whip out the condom. Real ones.
Starting point is 00:59:53 And I ask you, are you sure? You say, yeah. No, you're right. That's what we need. Wise words from my man, Trevor Noah. Trevor, I love talking to you, but why are you here? Where did you come to promote? Comedy tour.
Starting point is 01:00:04 I was coming to promote? Oh, I thought I was just coming to hang out with you guys. I was did you come to promote? Comedy tour. I was coming to promote? Oh, I thought I was just coming to hang out with you guys. I was just walking past the building. That's what I was doing. I was just making sure. The New York Comedy Festival. I'm excited.

Starting point is 01:03:58 Charlamagne Tha God, Angela Yee, DJ Envy is still in Paris. It's time for Rumor Report. I don't know what we're teasing. We're talking about Megan Thee Stallion. Listen up. It's just in. All the gossip. Gossip.
Starting point is 01:04:09 The Rumor Report. Gossip. Gossip. With Angela Yee. It's the Rumor Report. The Breakfast Club. So Megan Thee Stallion is apparently writing a horror movie. You know, that's my favorite genre of movies.
Starting point is 01:04:20 She did a 24 hours with video for Vogue magazine, and that's where she revealed that. You were writing a script, is that right? Oh yes, for a horror film. Everyone knows I f***ing love horror movies. I like movies that make you semi-fall in love with the villain, so you have sympathy for him. You're not going to want the villain to die, maybe he won't die. Because I feel like every good story, you can't just necessarily kill off the villain. That's why the Batman never killed Joker. She also talked about her favorite horror movies.
Starting point is 01:04:47 That made me start thinking, what was my favorite horror movie ever? Right now, I really like The Conjuring as far as newer ones. But as far as older movies growing up, I used to be a fan of The Nightmare on Elm Street. But now that I look at it, when I look back at it, it's not as scary as I thought it was at the time. But yeah, so let's get ready for that. Things like this intrigue me because I love when content creators create content outside of the genre of music that they're in. So people expect her to be
Starting point is 01:05:14 a rapper and they may even expect her to write a certain type of movie, but for her to do horror, I think that's dope. Salute to Meg Thee Stallion for that. And apparently I need to see this Human Centipede movie because I've never seen it. Alright, now T-Pain was being extremely honest and that was on his Instagram post because he was supposed
Starting point is 01:05:29 to be going on tour and then he had to cancel his tour and this is the reason why. Let me just start by saying that my team set up the tour in September and if you've ever set up a whole month long tour before, you'd know that's not enough time to set up a full tour. So having said that, I enough time to set up a full tour so having
Starting point is 01:05:45 said that uh i'm gonna take it upon myself to cancel the one up dlc tour now let me tell you i was advised to lie about this and say that you know i need a time to spend my family or some medical attention or something like that just don't just make just don't make it look like we up we up i know and most artists lie. Whenever concerts get canceled or tours get canceled, it's for low ticket sales. Right, so low ticket sales. He doesn't want the room to be half empty. Now, we appreciate him being honest and telling the truth about it, and it is difficult to pull off a tour and make sure that you sell those tickets,
Starting point is 01:06:18 and you can't just rely on the fact that the last tour did well, so this one should too. Why not just go to a smaller venue? It's probably too late to do that right now, but he's going to, I guess, regroup and go through that again. And then you actually end up making less money, so maybe there's a certain amount of money that he wants to make sure that he makes as well because of production, travel, all
Starting point is 01:06:38 of that. Alright, South Park, they're close to doing a streaming deal, and that's according to Bloomberg. They're saying that streaming deal would be worth over $500 million. All right, so the potential buyers wouldn't own the show, but it would allow them to license the series Backlog and then air them in the United States over the next few years. Man, salute to those guys, man.
Starting point is 01:06:58 When you create something like that, when you create something that you're going to eat off forever, that impacted culture in the way South Park did, you won in life. You know what? I watch South Park all the time. It's always on TV like reruns and I can sit there when there's nothing on. I'll be like, let me just watch South Park because that show does always make me laugh. Well, the Bulldogs will be back next fall. Just want to throw that out there.
Starting point is 01:07:17 For content that lives forever. And Kanye West did something for Kim Kardashian for her birthday. He did surprise $1 million donations for her favorite charities. So that's a nice thing, right? Isn't that kind of like just taking money out of your bank account and putting it in your other bank account?
Starting point is 01:07:33 It's not her charity. It's other charities. Oh, I thought it was charities that she represents. It's a charity that he made in her name to the Cut 50 Buried Alive Project and Equal Justice Initiative and Anti-Recidivism Coalition Organizations. They're the ones that got the gifts. So are those Kim's charities or those are just
Starting point is 01:07:50 charities that she supports? Those are charities that she's supporting. Oh, got you, got you. They've worked with her on campaigns, but she doesn't run those charities. They're just prison reform charities that she's supportive of. Oh, that's dope. I thought that it was Kim's actual charity he was donating to. They're her favorite charity. Got you.
Starting point is 01:08:05 Okay, that's a dope gift. That is a very thoughtful thoughtful selfless gift. Alright, well I'm Angela Yee and that is your Rumor Report. Now coming up next we have Donkey of the Day. That's right. In Florida, I'm sorry. I was really trying to have a Florida-less week, but you know that is absolutely impossible.
Starting point is 01:08:21 I need a young woman named Jessica Hardy to come to the front of the congregation because she's trying to kill people over their dietary preferences. Make sure you tell them to watch out for Florida, man. The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida. Yes, you are a donkey. A Florida man attacked an ATM for a very strange reason. It gave him too much money.
Starting point is 01:08:47 Florida man is arrested after deputies say he rigged the door to his home in an attempt to electrocute his pregnant wife. Police arrested an Orlando man for attacking a flamingo. For the breakfast club, bitchy. Donkey of the day with Charlemagne the guy. I don't know why y'all keep letting him get y'all like this.
Starting point is 01:09:00 It's not me, Duval. It's your home state of Florida, okay? Donkey of the day for Wednesday, October 23rd. Goes to a Florida woman named Jessica Danielle Hardy. Now, what does your Uncle Sharla always say about Florida? The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida. And today is no exception. I also want to say I think we are all aware of the dangers of the Florida man.
Starting point is 01:09:22 But what we don't talk about often, well, I would just say the less talked about, but equally as dangerous, Florida woman, okay? Now, the reason we don't talk about the Florida woman too often is because the beauty of Florida is crazy is not regulated to gender. We hear these stories and we all, you know, all we think is Florida and we think crazy, okay? We rarely, if ever, think of race, gender, sexuality.
Starting point is 01:09:46 Florida is truly a place where people are judged not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their crazy. Now let's cut right to the crazy so we can discuss. Jessica was charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon after she hit her boyfriend in the head with a hammer
Starting point is 01:10:01 repeatedly. Now I know you're saying wow, you know, this is violent, okay? The only person who should be hitting somebody repeatedly with a hammer is Thor. But you got to hear why, okay? It could be a perfectly good reason for her resorting to this random act of violence. But I wouldn't bet on it
Starting point is 01:10:18 because this is Florida, ladies and gentlemen. Let's go to WKRG CBS 5 for the report, please. A woman is accused of hitting a man in the head several times with a hammer after an argument over pork chops. Deputies here were called to a home Sunday night to find the victim sitting on the front porch. And he said that he had just gotten into an argument with 32-year-old Jessica Hardy. And it was all apparently over pork chops. He says they were both screaming at each other. Then he says she hit him on the left side of his head with a hammer.
Starting point is 01:10:51 Then she hit him again in the eye and the lip. Deputies found the man with several injuries. Hardy is charged with aggravated battery using a deadly weapon, and she is still in the Escambia County Jail with a $5,000 bond. I love when these professional news voices have to report these nut-ass news stories. Can I just hear the beginning again? Just the beginning of that. A woman is accused of hitting a man in the head
Starting point is 01:11:12 several times with a hammer after an argument over pork chops. It's like he just knew in that moment, I am so sick and tired of doing goddamn news in Florida. Now, what if this man who got hit in the head with a hammer over pork chops simply decided he didn't want to eat pork anymore?
Starting point is 01:11:29 Okay, what if he read Deuteronomy 14.8, which says, The pig is also unclean, although it has a divided hoof. It does not chew the cud. You are not to eat their meat or touch their carcasses. What if he did some research and realized that eating pork products is bad for you because pork products are loaded with artery-clogging cholesterol and saturated fat? Okay, what if he did some research and realize that eating pork products is bad for you because pork products are loaded with artery clogging, cholesterol, and saturated fat. Okay, what if he did some research
Starting point is 01:11:49 and realized that eating pork increases your chances of developing deadly diseases like heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, Alzheimer's, asthma, and impotence. Yes, eating pork causes impotence. Did you know that? Did you know that?
Starting point is 01:12:09 Did you know that eating pork can make your penis not get hard? What if that was the argument they were having? What if he read that fun fact that eating lard makes your penis not get hard and she was screaming on him for not being able to get erect when the reality is it's her fault because she keeps feeding her king that swine. No pork on my fork, you understand me? Now, I am almost certain that perfectly rational explanation I gave for that Florida woman hitting her man in the head with a hammer didn't happen. You know why? Because it's Florida.
Starting point is 01:12:36 And in Florida, there is no logic or any rational explanation for things because in Florida, crazy simply needs no context. It just is. Please give Jessica Daniel Hardy the sweet sounds of the Hamilton's. For now you are the donkey of the day.
Starting point is 01:12:56 You are the donkey of the day. All right. Thank you for that donkey of the day, Charlamagnehaw! All right, thank you for that. Donkey of the Day, Charlamagne. Yeah, I wonder how many people out there just learned that eating too much pork can cause impotence, but they still out there like, nah, bruh, bacon over boners.
Starting point is 01:13:17 All right, well, right now we are getting ready for Ashy. 800-585-1051 is the number. If there's any question you want to ask me, whether it be about friendships, relationships, business, call us up right now, and I got you. This is The Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club. What's up? It is The Breakfast Club, and it's time for ASHE.
Starting point is 01:13:35 If you have any questions you want to ask me, my ears are open. So, let's talk to North. North, what is your question for ASHE? My question is, should I end my friendship with my childhood friend over money? Okay, any more information, Annette? We were supposed to go on a trip to Puerto Rico, and the trip was canceled because the home was in fest. The friend offered to refund my money, but not my guest's money.
Starting point is 01:14:02 She said she didn't want to end our friendship over money, but she's expecting me to end my friendship with the other guest's money. She said she didn't want to end our friendship over money but she's expecting me to end my friendship with the other person over money. So she refunded your money but not the other person's money? She has not yet. So you got your money back. So this is really between the two of them? To an extent.
Starting point is 01:14:18 So I think you should let them handle it with each other. Yeah but I'm being put in the middle because I'm being asked is she going to refund the money. So they don't know each other. It's really they know each other. Yeah, but I'm being put in the middle because I'm being asked, is she going to refund the money? So they don't know each other. It's really they know each other through you. Correct. Okay.
Starting point is 01:14:31 So now that is a big issue because now you kind of vouch for this person. Yes. And so now you feel like this is your responsibility. What I would, now this is just me personally. What I would tell the friend, because I believe in principles. I know a lot of people don't but with my principles is that because I'm the person that took that money and gave it to the third party friend right I would talk to that third party friend who's not returning the money she's not going to return the money then I would cut you off over that because I think that's a
Starting point is 01:14:59 foul thing for you to do to me she's just keeping this person's money and that reflects badly on you right exactly now what I would also offer to do is for my friend whose money I took, I would offer to say, look, she's not giving you back the money. I don't know what her deal is. I'm not messing with her anymore, but I feel responsible, so let me know what I
Starting point is 01:15:18 can do. If I need to pay you back all the money, I will. If I need to, if you are okay with whatever amount, let me know because I don't want to ruin our friendship and I feel responsible. Correct. But I would feel like that's a shady thing to do. And who wants a shady friend? It is very shady. That's why we are no longer friends. But the other person I have offered him his money back, but he's saying he doesn't want it for me because I wasn't the one that took it. The friend, actually, it was sent to her from him.
Starting point is 01:15:47 Right. Well, if he's not going to take it from you, you can't force him to do that, but I would definitely try to make him take it or at least try to do something nice for him to show him how apologetic you are. Sometimes it is embarrassing. We put ourselves out there for people, and they don't return that favor to you. So it's good sometimes it costs money to know that there's certain people you don't need to have in your life
Starting point is 01:16:06 before things get even worse. Makes perfect sense. All right. Well, you know, sometimes you don't win every situation. I'm sorry to hear that. That's all right. Thank you, Angela.
Starting point is 01:16:16 No problem. Sometimes that saves you in the long run from being around somebody who's not worthy. All right. It's ASCII 800-585-1051. Call me up and let me know what your question is. What's up? It's the Breakfast Club. It is time for ASK YE, 800-585-1051
Starting point is 01:16:39 is the number. Now, we do have Nicole on the line. Nicole, what is your question? Good morning you. Good morning, guys. Good morning. Yes, my question is this. I have had a protection order, a protection from abuse on my child's father.
Starting point is 01:16:56 I was pregnant with my son and my son is now two. It's getting closer to the end of the protection order and I wanted to get your advice on if you think that something like this should be extended, if that person has reached out, send them to advise that not only do they not want anything with the child, but if they see me that, you know, they would cause harm to me in addition to, you know, the protection order that I have, they really don't care.
Starting point is 01:17:21 Okay, so I hope that you reported this. Yes. Because you do have a protection order. That person shouldn't even be reaching out to you at all. Understood. That is a violation of that protection order. And from my own experience, because I've had to do this before, too, I will say that sometimes we feel bad about putting people in certain situations
Starting point is 01:17:38 where we feel like, well, I don't want to see this person go to jail, and I don't want to get them wrapped up in the system, and now I feel like it's my fault if something happens. Absolutely not. It's their own fault. want to see this person go to jail and I don't want to get them wrapped up in the system and now I feel like it's my fault if something happens absolutely not it's their own fault they put themselves in that situation he knows what that protection order means it means he's not supposed to contact you right that's correct that is correct it's just hard because like I said he's he's never even he's never seen my son and you know you hear from family or friends and like well it's been two years even of course themselves were like well it's you know the time Yeah. I kind of feel bad in a way because people are like, well, it's been two years. Maybe he feels that way because of
Starting point is 01:18:26 the protection order. Maybe you should think about letting him reach out. And I'm just extremely uncomfortable with that idea. Well, listen, it seems like that protection order still hasn't taught him his lesson. Now, it's not like he's remorseful. It's not like he understands that what he did was wrong. And that's why you have a protection order in the first place
Starting point is 01:18:41 to protect you and your child. Apparently he thinks that he should be angry and lashing out at you, and this is even more reason to have an order of protection. And nobody can tell you what to do in this situation. You know how you feel. And if you feel threatened, and you feel like you don't want this person
Starting point is 01:18:56 to come around you, and you feel like there's potential that there might be some harm done, and he is still continuing to make threats, you know what you have to do. Okay, I'm following that. I really appreciate you. Yes.
Starting point is 01:19:08 You didn't put him in that situation. He put him in that situation. Get some help. That's what he needs to do. Okay? Yes, I hear you. All right. I'm just making sure.
Starting point is 01:19:21 Nicole, we want you to be with us, and we want to make sure that you're here for your child and everything, and that's top priority. I just feel like, hey, thank you all so much. You're doing great things out here. I really appreciate it. All right. We love you, Nicole.
Starting point is 01:19:32 That's ASCII. We do that every Wednesday and Thursday right here on The Breakfast Club. We got a rumor report coming up here? Yes, we are going to be talking about Megan Thee Stallion. She has a new venture that she's doing that doesn't have anything to do with music. That's right. We'll talk about that and more right here on the breakfast club next this is the rumor report with angela
Starting point is 01:19:50 so wendy williams was talking about megan marco now megan marco did a very emotional interview where she talks about this it's's hard. I don't think anybody could understand that. But in all fairness, I had no idea when I first met my now husband. My friends were really happy because I was so happy. But my British friend said to me, I'm sure he's great, but you shouldn't do it because the British tabloids will destroy your life. And I very naively American. We don't have that there. So she's been having a tough time getting used to the paparazzi, to the tabloids and all of that.
Starting point is 01:20:35 And I can imagine that could be very emotionally draining. Well, Wendy Williams said that she doesn't feel bad for her and nobody feels sorry for her. Listen, you knew exactly what you were doing. And I applaud her plantation on the royal situation. But please, don't try to garner sympathy from us. You knew what you were doing. First of all, you know, with William and Kate, they are grooming
Starting point is 01:20:55 because he's going to be the king and she's going to be the queen and the kids are going to be the royals like that. Harry and Meghan have nothing to lose by moving to America. I kind of feel it, though. No, actually, I do feel her, because people act like this is what she signed up for. No,
Starting point is 01:21:11 she just grew to love somebody. You know what I'm saying? It's just that the person she grew to love is a very notable figure. So she didn't ask for all of this. She didn't ask for her life to be, you know, intruded upon the way it is. Well, I also think that sometimes you might say, okay, you know it's going to be a lot of people
Starting point is 01:21:27 hollering at you, you're going to be in the tabloids, and you don't realize what it's like until it happens. Absolutely. You can't prepare for that, ever. Alright, now a federal judge is not dismissing that lawsuit filed by the city of Chicago against Jussie Smollett. So it looks like now this is still going on. They want to get more than $130,000
Starting point is 01:21:43 from Jussie Smollett to cover the cost that they had to pay to investigate his report of a hate crime attack back in January. They had to cover police overtime during that investigation. Now, he wanted them to throw out that lawsuit, but they have not done that. So he's still on the hook. So it looks like they are still going to proceed with trying to make that lawsuit happen. It's crazy how I even forgot that happened. Remember how big that story was earlier this year? Trouble don't last always.
Starting point is 01:22:10 All right, and Trick Daddy has reportedly filed for bankruptcy. According to reports, he has $0 in his checking account, according to The Blast. But he does have his assets. He has his home, and he has stock in his music publishing company. He has clothes. He says that he only earned $50,000 in income for 2019 and $75,000 in 2018 and bought a lot more
Starting point is 01:22:31 things. I don't know. I feel like he's made more money than that, but I'm not gonna, you know, what can I say? He's doing what he's trying to do financially. Yeah, he's about to start his radio show, right? Mm-hmm. Yes, him and Trina have their radio show coming. So, there you have it. All right, now, Steph Curry has responded to what Michael Jordan had to say about him being a Hall of Famer.
Starting point is 01:22:51 Here is what Michael Jordan said. So Steph Curry shouldn't be offended when he watches this. I hope not. He's still a great player. Not a Hall of Famer yet, though. He's not. Well, Steph Curry responded. He did an exclusive interview for Soul Collector.
Starting point is 01:23:05 He said, I know I have more to prove to myself. When you hear a guy like that, who's the greatest of all time, it's kind of funny. Since we've been on the stage, we've heard a lot of retired guys chiming in on this generation of basketball player and evaluating talent and saying their generation was better and all that. It's a great conversation for the fans to get in on. I know I'm in good shape for that, but I still have a lot to prove to myself. I mean, okay, I looked at this two ways. Technically, Michael Jordan is right.
Starting point is 01:23:26 Steph Curry is not a Hall of Famer yet because he's literally not in the Hall of Fame. He will be one day once he's retired. But I simply think Michael Jordan didn't want to get fined. I think that, you know, he could, like, he's the owner of a team. So if he says too many great things about a player, they can fine him. And they fine him for tampering. I don't know why they call that tampering. But I think he just didn't want to get fined. He just
Starting point is 01:23:45 threw something out there like, but he's not a Hall of Famer. Well, Steph Curry agreed to a certain extent. He said he's not there yet. No. If Steph Curry retired tomorrow, he would be, if he retired today, he'd be in the Hall of Fame. But he's just technically not in yet. But I really think Michael Jordan
Starting point is 01:24:01 just didn't want to get fined for tampering. I think that's why he said that. Alright, now Nicki Minaj and Kenneth Petty, you know they got married and it was a no-frills wedding. The reason why they got married, according to TMZ and people with direct knowledge, is because of course they had time not on their side. They only had three months since they got their license
Starting point is 01:24:17 so they did go ahead and get married and they are planning to have a huge wedding later on for members of the family and friends to be able to attend. All right. And then I saw we talked about your boy getting fired from TMZ. Van Lathan. Van Lathan.
Starting point is 01:24:33 So what they are saying now is that he put his hands around his former co-worker's neck, Michael Babcock, the co-host on TMZ Live. So that video footage is actually making the rounds because it happened during TMZ Live. Yeah, I saw the video but I mean it looks like they were playing. It looks like he was just giving them a stern talking to. It didn't look like he wasn't choking them.
Starting point is 01:24:56 He came up behind them, put his hands on his shoulders, whispered something in his ear and walked off. Yeah, they said he was upset during that segment. Yeah, he was upset because the white man was yelling at him. Listen, I don't like no white man. I don't like no man yelling at me, but I damn sure ain't going to let no white man yell at me. So I'm not mad at him for telling that man, like, look,
Starting point is 01:25:12 watch your tone when it comes to talking to me. And you know they're actually friends. Do you think that TMZ was wrong for firing him? I definitely think TMZ was wrong for firing him. Well, according to sources, they said that he wouldn't have been fired if he hadn't put his hands on him at all physically. You see the video?
Starting point is 01:25:27 Yeah, I saw it. Yeah, he just came up behind him. He had his hands on his shoulders. He was talking to him. He walked out. He even patted him on the side as he walked away. And, you know, they're actually friends, like in real life. Right.
Starting point is 01:25:38 So it's just weird. It's like a misunderstanding between friends that caused Van to get fired. All right. And congratulations to Cardi B. I just want to end with that, man. She just got a role in Fast and Furious 9, so that's amazing. Huge deal.
Starting point is 01:25:52 They just announced that yesterday. So, yes, congratulations to Cardi B. She's making moves. Did you see Hustlers? No, not yet. I'm so mad at myself for not seeing that yet. But, yes, Vin Diesel actually posted a picture with her last day in the UK.
Starting point is 01:26:06 That's going to be in theaters on May 22nd of 2020. All right, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your Rumor Report. I don't want to say peace to Revolt TV. And the People's Choice Mix is up next. If I sound like I'm not excited, because I'm not. Because the people don't even get to choose what songs are played. And we know this already. But, hey, man, the illusion of radio will never cease to amaze me.
Starting point is 01:26:31 All right? DJ Envy's up next with the People's Choice Mix. And maybe a song that you requested. It's The Breakfast Club.

He said that peace is the result of retraining your mind to process life as it is rather than as you think it should be. Breakfast club, bitches! You all finished or you all done?

It's surprisingly easy. 55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete. Or maybe not. No country willingly gives up their territory. Oh my God. What is that? Bullets. Listen to Escape from Zakistan.
