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.
What is that?
Bullets.

Wake up in the morning
Wake up in the morning
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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?
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?
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
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.
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?
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.
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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

If you want to tell us why you're blessed black and highly favored,

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. Start your own country. I planted the flag.

Good morning.
Get it off your chest.
Yo, what up, Sharla?
I just want to start by saying y'all dope, man.
You and Angelique and DJ Envy keep doing what y'all doing.
Peace, King.
I want to get this off my chest, man.
So I'm on my way to work every day.
I stop at the Loud Man's house.
Now he act like he don't want to get up man it's 6 in the
morning I know it's early but
he always get up every time
but then every other time he don't want
to get up does he have to get up you might
need a backup person yeah but the
backup dude got that bull crap
you know what I mean I don't want to cuss on here but it's always
the clowns with the bag you know what I mean
maybe you need to get it the night before
are you talking about buying weed
yeah yeah I bet you he's a night person and not really a morning person the clowns with the bag. Maybe you need to get it the night before. Are you talking about buying weed?
Yeah, yeah.
I bet you he's a night person and not really a morning person.
Yeah, I think it's disrespectful
that you won't let your weed man
get his sleep, bro.
No, no, no, no.
I go every morning.
This ain't a new thing.
Like, he knows
that I'm gonna be coming through
at 6 o'clock.
I'm a UPS driver.
I gotta be at work at 6.30.
Boom.
I get two L's.
I smoke one L
on the way to work
and then lunchtime I smoke a half
an L and then after work I smoke the other half
on the way home. Can I make a suggestion?
Can you buy
all of them at one time for the whole week?
Just buy enough for the week, bro. Buy a zip.
And then you don't have to go every morning?
Why you don't buy a house?
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.
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.
You know what I'm saying?
Buy a pack of joints like you do Newport.
Why don't you just ration it out, right?
Buy it for the whole week.
Take that $35 you spend a day.
Buy the whole week and ration it out for yourself.
Nah, that's what I'm going to do. Friday when I get
paid, that's what I'm going to do. I'm going to get me a little half
and I'm going to be like, look, man, I'm going to
stop coming over here bothering you every morning. Just give
me a half and we're going to go from there.
And it might be cheaper if you buy in
bulk. And then you act like it's a
big deal. Like, yo, don't be
talking on the phone like that and hold that
down. Like, yo, man, ain't nobody. It's like the feds
is watching them. I know. It's really not that
serious.
Man, salute to all the weed dealers that need their rest, man.
I think this is very selfish of you.
But what do I know? But you got guaranteed
money, though. Man, I need
sleep, okay? Have a good day, sir.
Jesus Christ, drug users can be
so selfish. Get it off your chest.
Hi, good morning.

That's all.
Okay, but before DJ Envy went to Paris, you was there a lot,
and you still ain't do it.
And you was there one time.
I was?
Like, just a couple of years.
Okay.
You came in there, sat down.

It's your time to get it off your chest, whether you're mad or blessed.
You better have the same energy.
We want to hear from you on the Breakfast Club.
Yes, we are doing Get It Off Your Chest, and I want to correct myself because I didn't even do any research this morning.
I just heard the Brooklyn Nets were playing today,
so their opening game is tonight,
and it is at the Barclays against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
So if you are in Brooklyn, make sure you get your tickets.
We're also playing the Knicks on Friday,
so that should be a good one, too.
Good morning, Angela. How are you?
Hey, Snack Man.
What's up?
What's up, buddy?
Okay, buddy. I got a joke for you.
Yes, I'm listening.
Yeah, yo, so you would agree, right, Angela,
this world's getting crazy.
Terrorists want to blow stuff up.
Koreans want to nuke stuff.
They'll come to think of it, extraterrestrial aliens, not that bad.
You know what they do?
Crop circles.
I mean, he's got kind of a point, though.
I think we do need to see UFOs just because I think it would humble people.
I think if we saw extraterrestrials,
everybody on the planet would be like, whoa.
All right, well, Snack Man, I guess
your joke was appreciated this morning.
No, not his joke, but just the sentiment of what he
was saying. What's up? Let's get it off your chest.
Who's this? Good morning. Good morning. It's your
boy Rich from Brooklyn. What's going on, you in the
guard? Yo, yo, what's up, my boy Rich

All right, what's your page so that people can follow?
It's rich fatherhood on Instagram and Twitter.
It's the same name.
What does that mean?
What does rich fatherhood mean?
Is it a financial thing or you mean just rich in spirit?
His name is Rich and he's Chinese.
Exactly.
Rich in spirit as far as our heritage, our culture, and our essence, man.
You know what I mean?
It's not about money.
It's about our heritage.
Got you.

Good content, Charlamagne.
I need your support behind this.

Get it off your chest.
Yes.
My name is Leonard Wallace.
What's up, Leonard Wallace?
Good morning, Angie.
How you doing?
I'm good.
How are you?
I'm all right.
What's up, DJ Heavy?
What's good?
What's good?
Nothing much.
I just wanted to thank you guys always for moving positivity within the community.
And also, Chalamet the guy, your mental health awareness.
I heard you was going out of Narcom on the 28th.
I'm also an author.
I wrote a book on mental health, dealing with my post-traumatic stress disorder after being in the military.
I'd love to read it.
What's the name of it?
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.
Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Google, it's everywhere.
Walmart even started selling it this year.
Word. What's your Instagram?
Love you, man.
Yes, thank you.
And the bus stands for, I just want to tell you,
the bus stands for Bull Situations,
Undermining Your Strive to Success.
It's get off the bus, the bus stop here,
and after the bus stop.
I'm currently living the second book now.
Got you. All right.
Yo, DJ Envy went to your Instagram.
He said you cute too, by the way, bro.
Oh, my God. DJ Envy, stay on my Instagram, buddy.
He thinks you're
cute. Love you.
All right. That was Get It Off Your Chest.
1-800-585-1051 if you
want to get it off your chest. Now, we got a rumor report coming
up. Yes. Um, Tank,
let's get into some things that
Tank said on lip service that's
making the rounds on social media.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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,
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.
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.
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,
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.

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?
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.
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...
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.
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,
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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?
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?
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,
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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,
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,
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
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.
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.
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
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,
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.
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.
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
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,
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
a parent
people are like
why are you still
with him
a parent
people stay in
abusive relationships
with their parents
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
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
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
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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?
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
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
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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,
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...
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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,
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
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?
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?
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.
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.
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?

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 just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this.
It's surprisingly easy.
There's 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete.
Everybody's doing it.
I am King Ernest Emmanuel.
I am the Queen of Ladonia.
I'm Jackson I, King of Capraburg.
I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia.
Be part of a great colonial tradition.
Why can't I create my own country?
My forefathers did that themselves.
What could go wrong?
No country willingly gives up their territory.
I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead.
Oh my God.
What is that?
Bullets.
Bullets.
We need help!
We need help!
We still have the off-road portion to go.

Yep, it's the world's most dangerous morning show,
The Breakfast Club.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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,
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
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.
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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?
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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,
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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,
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The world's most dangerous morning show, The Breakfast Club.
Charlamagne Tha God, Angela Yee.
Got to salute my guy, Trevor Noah, for pulling up this morning.
You can go watch that interview on the Breakfast Club's YouTube page.
And I want to say, Rock Hill, South Carolina, Winthrop University, I'll be there on Monday,
October 28th, with Marianne Williamson and Michelle Williams.
We'll be having a conversation called, what is the name of the conversation?
I can't remember.
But I do know that the conversation
is about my favorite subject, mental health.
All right, so it'll be me, Marianne Williamson,
and Michelle Williams.
It's free to get in.
It's free food, and it'll be at Winthrop University
on October 28th, this coming Monday.
You got anything, Yee?
Yes, Friday I'll be in Atlanta at AspireCon,
and I'll be with Ashley Antoinette
as she discusses her new book with the Ethics Series, so I'm
excited for that, because you know, I love
reading, and I have my own book club, so
shout out to everybody who will be at Aspire Con
at the Hyatt Regency in Atlanta.
I'll be there on Friday, and then
Sunday, Lip Service is back.
That's right, the tour continues in Charlotte,
and then we're in Silver Spring, Maryland
on that Monday, and
yeah, so make sure you get your tickets. I've been posting
about it on Instagram, so if you need to get more information
you can look there. That's right.
We got the positive note up next when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club.
Yep, it's the world's most dangerous
morning show, the Breakfast Club. Charlamagne Tha God,
Angela Yee. It's positive note time
and my positive note comes from one of
my favorite authors, the late, great
Dr. Wayne W. Dyer.
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?
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. You know, 55 gallons of water, 500 pounds the flag. This is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy.
55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete. Or maybe not. No country willingly gives up
their territory. Oh my God. What is that? Bullets. Listen to Escape from Zakistan.
