Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get some front page news. Now, World Series Game 6 is tonight at 8 p.m. Again, the Braves lead that series 3-2. So we'll see what happens.

The last night, Monday Night Football, Giants lost to the Chiefs. Giants got their ass busted 2017. That's not ass bust. They lost 2017. They got their ass busted. They lost. When you're 2-5. We're 2-6.

We're 2-6. Well, that's even worse. When you're 2-6, every time you lose, you get your ass busted. All right? You're a 2-6 team. It is what it is. We're lost by three. You're a 2-6 team.

Okay. Drop on the clues, Bonds. We're Dallas Cowboys. We're 6-1. We played Sunday. And we won Sunday with our backup quarterback. With our backup quarterback against a 3-3 pretty decent Vikings team. We already dropped the bomb for you. With our backup quarterback against the 3-3 pretty decent Vikings team. We already dropped the bomb for you.

Okay? Yeah, what else we got? All right, well, if you're traveling on American Airlines, just beware. You know, from Friday to Monday, they canceled about 2,000 flights. And there were a lot of delays as well. So a lot of people were having issues over the weekend getting to where they're getting to. The airline has said it's because of staffing shortages and also bad weather that has caused disruptions to their schedule. So just beware.

However, they did say that they had some flight attendants that would be returning from leave starting Monday and the rest will be back by December, according to reports. But just be careful. Southwest was having a similar issue too. So I know a lot of holiday travel is coming up. Just giving you guys a heads up warning. All right.

And Peloton classes are coming to Delta Airlines. I don't know how you're supposed to do that, but they have stretching and meditation custom classes that is exclusively for Delta that's available on planes that have the seat back screens. Amazing. That'd be nice. Although if somebody's sitting next to you stretching, aren't they going to, like, hit you? Mm-hmm.

But the classes are from 5 to 20 minutes, and it'll help passengers relax, stretch, or fall asleep. Meditation classes are great on a plane because I know I'm the type of person that I get a lot of, you know, rest on the plane. Mm-hmm. You know? And it's a lot of silence on the plane. It's not like people talking and chatting. You know, in the Delta Sky Club in, I think it's in JFK, they do yoga classes on the rooftop before you get on the plane. So I went out there by accident one day, like just going to sit down. The guy was like, oh, you're here for the yoga class.

I was like, damn, this is nice. But it actually was really nice to do a little yoga before you get on your flight and just kind of stretch it out. All right. Elon Musk is offering six billion dollars if the. can show how they will solve world hunger. This statement came after U.N. World Food Program Executive Director David Beasley said that if Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and other billionaires would step up on a one-time basis, that could help end starvation. He said billionaires could give $6 billion to help 42 million people that are literally going to die if we don't reach them. It's not complicated.

So now Elon Musk has responded. He said, if World Food Program can describe on this Twitter thread exactly how $6 billion will solve world hunger, I will sell Tesla stock right now and do it. And he definitely has the means to be able to give $6 billion. All right, that's about 2% of his fortune. But then I saw somebody post that, what's the name of the organization you're doing? Which one?

The UN World Food Program? Yeah, the UN World Food Program. I saw somebody post how they raised over $8 billion and they didn't stop world hunger. So how would Elon's $6 billion do it? Right, they said 2% of Elon. So how would Elon 6 billion do it? Right. They said 2% of Elon Musk's wealth is $6 billion. In 2020, the UN World Food Program raised $8.4 billion. How come it didn't solve world hunger? That's what Dr. Eli David said. That's a great valid question. I would like to know. And Elon Musk said, if you do provide this information,

it must be open source accounting so the public sees precisely how the money is spent and so uh then he responded the chief said headline not accurate six billion dollars will not solve world hunger but it will prevent geopolitical instability mass migration and save 42 million people on the brink of starvation an unprecedented crisis and perfect storm due to covid conflict climate crisis why do people just say things like that? Just because, like, you know, folks hate billionaires, so they want to, you know, point out the wealth gap, I guess. And then Elam, I said, please publish your current and proposed spending in detail

so people can see exactly where money goes. Sunlight is a wonderful thing. And he responded, instead of tweets, allow me to show you. We can meet anywhere, Earth or space. But I suggest in the field where you can see the people, processes, and yes, technology at work,

I will bring the plan and open books. Yeah, that's when you're just stunting on people for no reason. We can meet anywhere, Earth or space. Jesus Christ.

All right, well, that is your Front Page News. All right, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, phone lines are wide open. Again, 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, phone lines are wide open. Again, 800-585-1051. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

Me and my daughter, well, me and my daughter was together for her birthday, you know, pretty much the day after she got home from school. And, you know, I had her a birthday gift uh kind of talk to her dad and I'm kind of going back and forth with my children's dad regarding our co-parent situation but he does absolutely nothing for our five children like always have to come up with an excuse and I'm at the point I'm not working so you know I kind of do what I can do to provide for the children, but he does absolutely zero, nothing. Our daughter's birthday was yesterday. We went, you know, a couple places, and we broke down in my car.

I'm currently still broke down with my daughter. You know, she's asleep while I'm trying to fix the situation or at least get a ride. He was supposed to come help me. Did he help? No. Oh, no. Damn. Yeah, all types of excuses. How could he not want to come get his daughter?

Yeah, I think he was upset because he didn't get her anything, but I got her something for her birthday. And it's, like, very petty to me because it's, like, you know, we're the parents. You know, like, it makes no sense to me. I'm so sorry to hear that you're dealing with that. Yeah, I appreciate it. But you know what?

I listen to you guys every single day. And me being a struggling mom, I always have wanted to call just to kind of throw my cash app out there. If I could get some type of help from anybody. Give your cash app. Give it out of help from anybody. Give me a Cash App. Give it out. Give it out. Give it out. It is $QUI1984.

QUI1984. Yes, QUI1984. Well, I hope you get people to donate, but I do have to question. You said you got five kids from this guy? Yes, we were together 13 years. I broke up with him about 10 years ago. I feel like it's an issue with him still wanting

to be with me, but I do not want to put me and my children back in that situation. Right. Yeah, but either way, he still... He still should be taking care of his responsibilities, though, either way. And why would I want to be with somebody that's not handling their responsibilities? That's so unattractive.

Yeah, I mean, I asked for $20. Still waiting on it. I asked for $10. Still waiting on it. $15 just for gas money. You can't even do that. Wow. Meanwhile, he giving his side chick $40 whenever she wanted.

Yeah, and leaving off people. Come on, that ain't make no sense. You make up excuses just so y'all have to take care of your responsibilities. But I've been doing it on my own. We have a high school graduate that was my credit given for that.

You don't get credit for anything because you don't do anything. Alright, thank you, mama. Thank you guys so much. Thank you guys so much. Keep holding it down. That's all you can do, right?

That I love Big Freedia. But I was going to say, I'm so disappointed in her after hearing her defend Boosie and say that she don't think

that somebody who is out here using slurs and calling people the F-words and telling people that they should die and they shouldn't be here because of their sexuality, saying that Boosie has a personal problem with Nas when he has went in on Zaya Wade, a 13-year-old. That is the definition, the true definition of homophobic, man. And one of the things that, like, when me and Sean had a conversation when we was, like like having my little pride month

With Breakfast Club It's us versus prejudice It's us versus people that are oppressing us And Boosie is one of the main people That's prejudiced man And we have to like just call that out on him But I ain't gonna hold y'all too long And you have a good day

Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Hey, guys. I'm Kate Max. You might know me from my popular online series, The Running Interview Show, where I run with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, and more. After those runs, the conversations keep going. That's what my podcast, Post Run High, is all about. It's a chance to sit down with my guests and dive even

deeper into their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together. You know that rush of endorphins you feel after a great workout? Well, that's when the real magic happens. So if you love hearing real, inspiring stories from the people you know, follow, and admire, join me every week for Post Run High. It's where we take the conversation beyond the run and get into the heart of it all. It's lighthearted, pretty crazy, and very fun. I'll see you next time. 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 are 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. The Waikana tribe 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 warheads. Oh my God. What is that? Bullets. Bullets. We need help!

We still have the off-road portion to go. Listen to Escape from Zakistan. And we're losing daylight fast. That's Escape from Z-A-Q-istan on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves, for self-preservation and protection. it was literally that step by step.

And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best and you're gonna figure out the rhythm of this thing alicia keys like you've never heard her before listen to on purpose with jay shetty on the iheart radio app apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts listen up it's just in all the gossip gossip the rumor report Well, are you ready for season two of Tiger King?

It's going to debut this month. But the problem is this now. Carole Baskin is suing Netflix. And that's over footage from season two. Here is the trailer. What happened to Don Lewis? Carole knows something. He was dealing with some shady characters down in Costa Rica.

Don liked to play with dangerous stuff. I'll kill you for that. The plot to kill Carol is built on lies. These people are going down. You'd think this was Waco. Come get me, mother******. So she wants the footage of her in the second season to be taken out. According to the suit, it says the scenes that were shown in the latest trailer of Carole Baskin

are misrepresenting what really happened during filming. She wants them to erase any footage of her in the promo, materials, teasers, and trailers. She says the show's reels are actually just unused film that didn't make it into the final cut of the original series. And she's alleging that producers are recutting old footage to make it seem like she's giving new interviews. I thought the star of the show was in jail. Joe Exotic. Joe Exotic, yeah. But she's a large part of that show too because you know they've accused her people feel like she killed her

husband. So if he's in prison and she's not on the show, what are we watching for? I mean I never watched the first one so I'm asking. Because the first one did so well they need to put out a two to see if they can get some more money off of it. So who would be the star of the show? You know, people are saying that she killed her husband and fed him to the tigers. Yeah, but she's not on the show.

Well, she is on the show right now. She's suing and asking them to take out the footage of her. But it's just old footage, right? Yeah, so I don't know legally, because I don't know if that footage was already licensed and they sold it or whatever. I'm not sure what the real deal is behind the scenes, but she's just trying to get out of there. Well, God bless her. We send her healing energy. All right, so Tiger King does return to Netflix on November 17th.

All right, Jennifer Lopez recently did an interview with the SAG-AFTRA Foundation, and she was talking about feeling violated during her first on-screen romance. So what happened was the experience was uncomfortable and her character on the show started to develop in the movie and people are speculating

that this is from the movie Money Train because she has said before that was her first love scene. And so she was talking about how horrible the experience was for her the first time she had to do a scene. She said it was never in the script. It was added halfway through filming. She didn't believe the scene had anything had to do a scene, she said it was never in the script. It was added halfway through filming. She didn't believe the scene had anything to do with the movie.

She said she felt producers added it in just because they wanted a sex scene. Now, she never named the actor, but like I said, people think she's talking about Money Train. She said her leading man pressured her into it. She said he was a big star at that time with a lot of clout, and I was just starting out. It was my big break, and he really pressured me. He told me if the scene wasn't hot enough, my part would end up on the cutting room floor and that would be bad for my career. I get a reputation as difficult to work with.

She said we did it. It was horrible. We were both completely naked with nothing between us except a sock on his boner. I was so naive then. Now I would have had pillows and covers and whatever to prevent contact, but I didn't know any better. So here's this famous actor basically humping my leg and pawing away at my breasts and kissing

them. It was awful. I felt violated. I swore I'd never work with him again. And then she said he's not done too well lately, so maybe that's karma. Well, those are the lessons you learn as life goes on, right? Like, never, never compromise yourself for a position. Yeah, so, but like she said, she was new. It was her first love scene.

She thought she wouldn't get any more roles acting. You don't know no better when you're young. And Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake, they are actually getting a documentary that's going to be on FX and Hulu, and that's all about that Super Bowl controversy. So according to Deadline, it'll be part of the New York Times Presents series.

It's called Malfunction, The Dressing Down of Janet Jackson. It's going to come later this month, November 19th. Now, we know that's not traumatic to Janet. I'm sure it is. Yeah, so why are they doing that? So this is going to be previously unseen footage and interviews of people involved with the production of that halftime show.

Well, Justin Timberlake better get ready to get canceled on that day. It's going to be a lot of social media outrage. He said Malfunction will also explore the racial and gender politics at play in the response to the moment. Justin Timberlake wasn't really impacted negatively, and Janet's career took a hit. Justin, you might as well start apologizing now. He's a...

No, for real. When does it come out? I think November 19th. Man, start apologizing now. Don't wait, Justin. You got to get ahead of it. All right. That's right around the apologizing now. Don't wait, Justin. You gotta get ahead of it. All right. That's right around the corner.

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.

Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace.

We are The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Hey. Let's get in some front page news. Monday Night Football. The Giants lost to the Chiefs 17-20. The Giants lost to the Kansas City Chiefs 17-20. They are at the bottom of the NFC East.

Okay. They are the power. Not even power bottoms. They are the weak, messy bottoms of the NFC East. The power tops of the Dallas Cowboys drop on a Kool's bombs for us at $16. Thank you very much. Y'all been in the bottom before. Y'all be back. Now, World Series. Atlanta plays the Astros tonight

at 8-0-9. Of course, Atlanta leaves the Series 3-2. How many games do they play in the World Series? Best of seven. It's the best of seven? Yeah. God, it seems like they've been playing forever. It's been going for like two weeks. No, it hasn't. Well, if you like baseball, then you should be excited. Alright. That It's been going for like two weeks. No, it hasn't. Well, if you like baseball, then you should be excited. All right.

That it's been going on. All right. Now, Mark Zuckerberg, as he's already announced that Facebook is changing their identity, they are trying to get the trademark for Meta. Now, the people that own it, it's a company called Meta PC. They have already filed the trademark for Meta for their computers, laptops, tablets, but they said they will sell it to Mark Zuckerberg for $20 million. Y'all, they can get more.

They can get more. They can get more. It's Mark Zuckerberg. Mark Zuckerberg got billions and billions of dollars. If they want to change, think about how much money Meta Facebook is about to make. You know what I mean? Meta Facebook. Why would they change their name from Facebook to Meta-Facebook?

I'm just saying. I'm talking about the company. Think about how much money they're about to make. But they can't ask for too much because then they can change Meta-One. I would do a licensing deal. Let me tell you something. Treat it like land. But what they are saying is a source close to the discussion says Facebook believes they have the rights necessary to adopt the Meta trademark for their goods and services.

There they go. There they go. It's going to be Big Bank versus Little Bank. You know the deal. You know the deal. I see where this is going. All right, let's go to court. The Meta going to have enough to fight Facebook in court?

Maybe you would take the 20. But either way, I would still. Take the 20 million. But nobody said Facebook is offering 20 million. That's what they're asking. They said they would be willing to sell it for 20 million. I would attempt to lease it to them. I'd lease it to them every year.

Sound like Facebook going to take it. Sounds like they're going to be like, well, we're not making computers and laptops and tablets, so we can figure a way around it. All right, the Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board voted 3-1 yesterday to recommend commuting the death sentence of Julius Jones to life in prison with the possibility of parole. He was 19 years old when he was convicted of the 1999 murder of Paul Howell, who was a businessman. He's always said he was innocent.

His family said he was with them at home when the murder took place. He was supposed to be executed November 18th. And in the petition, they said he was found guilty because of fundamental breakdowns in the system. He had an ineffective and inexperienced public defender. They also said there was prosecutorial misconduct. A juror came forward and said that he heard another juror refer to Jones as the N-word. And several individuals have said that his co-defendant, Christopher Jordan, admitted that he killed Howell. So they believe that this evidence does prove all of this proves that he's innocent.

The family's maintained his innocence. But Howell's daughter, Rachel, said that she believes the evidence proves that he's guilty and her family is being re-victimized. I mean, if somebody else could admit it to the murder, then, I mean, isn't that a big piece of evidence? Somebody else admitting to a murder? You can't, yeah.

You know, I've always been against the death penalty. So now they have to decide whether or not they're going to commute his sentence. So that still has to be decided. But they are going to commute him right now to life in prison with the possibility of parole. All right. Well, that is your Front Page News. All right. Thank you, Miss Yee.

Now, when we come back, T.S. Madison will be joining us. So we'll kick it with T.S. Madison when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The.S. Madison will be joining us. So we'll kick it with T.S. Madison when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee,

Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. T.S. Madison. What it do everybody out there that's watching, honey, and listening. This is the T.S. Madison. I gotta do it for the people that love me. Is it on? Is it on, honey? Is this bitch recording? What's up YouTube land, Twitter land,

Instagram land, Snapchat grounder, Scruff, BGC Jack, Facebook Periscope, and last but not least, every single one of my bitches. Christian Mingle and the lands all across the land this is your girl T.S. Madison I'm coming to you loud loud and always and forever in

color from the Breakfast Club Amen. How are you this morning? Well I feel good you know I'm finally here and I actually got a chance to wrap my arms around you and hug your neck you know you short just like me in person you know and I already done work with my girl Angela Yee over there. That's right. We had a good conversation.

We had a good conversation. We was talking about love. Things that I don't really, you know, know too much about. You don't know too much about love? No. I don't really know a lot about love because I used to be an HO. But we'll get deeper in that conversation. Going down the line. How is love too low? Well, they always say your first, last

and best love is self-love. So you know something about self-love. Yeah, I love line. I always love two loves. Well, they always say your first, last, and best love is self-love. You know something about self-love. Yeah, I love me. I love me. I love all of me. And that's why, you know, my personality is so big because I've gotten

to really become in love with myself. And, you know, I try to tell people that there's nothing out there that they can say to me or about me, you know,

that would make me not love myself or not make me really understand exactly who I am, you know. Well, make me not love myself or not make me really understand exactly who I am, you know. Well, I've been able to watch your show on WE tv. Which was the T.S. Madison experience.

Yes. Yes. And to see even your conversation with your family, see you talking to your father. So talk to me about how that was to just reveal so much about your personal life. Well, you know, to be honest with you, I really, in taping that show, I really found out that I have a lot of trauma that's associated around my father, you know? Welcome to the club.

Yeah. You know, at one point, I didn't really want to think that I suffered from any type of trauma because you think growing up as a young queen, like, oh, well, my dad ain't here. I don't really need that.

And then you grow older because I just turned 44 last week. Cheers to that. Congratulations. Happy birthday. Oh, yeah, for those that's listening and watching, baby, they gave me the good,

they gave me the good tequila. They say, Madison, we want you to be That's that Deleon. Reposado. Reposado, son, whatever it is. I know I'm being cussed out. That's Diddy's s***.

Oh, that's Diddy's s**t? Yeah. Hey, Diddy. I got a little Diddy in my mouth. So, you know, it really made me, you know, understand that I did need my dad, you know, and then looking at it back on television and watching him, you know, say stuff to me. And there was one part where he said, now don't jump on me. I said, I ain't going to jump on you, but you better watch your mouth

because, you know, I don't play with you. You know, I really think that by me not having my dad in the house, it really toughened me. And then watching it back, I was like, maybe I do want to have her. At 40-something years old, I might really want to have a relationship with him and then he asked me for money he sure did there's a few dollars he's gonna pay it back you're gonna buy me this car no I'm gonna buy you a what you're gonna buy me this truck no no I'm not buying you this but even things that we don't think about like your father referring to you as he yes y'all don't let me let me say this i want the community that's out there

listening to me like my my sister community and stuff like that understand that i'm here this is my story this is this is my journey this is my path we're not a monolith and so please do not take my words as the words of the entire community i'm a little bit more lenient with my parents you know i'm their child they knew you from the beginning. Yeah, they know me from the beginning. So, you know, it's going to be a difficult little time. No matter how old I get, it's going to be a difficult process for them trying to process that

I've come to grips of who I am and what I am. And so I don't always, you know, necessarily like put a lot of stress on them for the she thing. But when I look back at it, I'm like, oh my God, T.S. Madison, you are a public figure. You can't just have them

around here just saying he, him, all this type of stuff. Some effort is good. You gotta lay that law down. Like, look, you ain't seen him since I was a teenager. So, cut it. I got him to call me by my girl name,

which is Madison. And he says she and stuff now, which, you know, my mother, it was a tough transition for her too, but she's in it now because she understands. I may not accept it totally, but I respect it.

And that's the only thing that I like to convey to people in the world. I don't want you, you don't have to accept it, but just respect it. Yeah, and I think it just takes a little bit of education, right?

Give everybody some time to learn instead of just being so quick to say, oh, he's transphobic because she's transphobic. Well, you know, as long as you're making the effort to move forward because there is transphobia and homophobia.

That's really rampant out there. Rampant. And it's rampant out there because people's spaces are felt like it's threatened. Like Boosie. What is you bother with Lil Nas X X? What's the problem? My thing is, when he said that he's a detriment to kids and we need to worry about the kids and all this stuff. But I'm like, but you the same man had an overgrown-ass woman perform a fellatio on your young son.

And you didn't see anything wrong with that, but it makes sense to me. I was so confused about the situation like who kids really need to be protected yeah i love hip-hop and i love all the street rappers but you know none of them have the the right to say lord nozak's is a detriment he's not if you've ever rapped about violence towards people celebration of drugs using or selling you don't you nah you can't stand on that disrespecting women yeah you can't stand on that moral hydrant. Disrespecting women. Yeah, you can't stand on that. Not just

Boosie, I go for everybody. Me included. You can't stand on that moral hydrant. And I don't got no issue with Boosie, you know I was a real big fan of him, but I just, it's just like I was watching him really rag down on Lenard's ex and I'm like, sir, are you dealing with some kind of trauma? And then I saw all the other dudes,

T.I. chiming in on it, especially when it came down to that thing with the baby, because I know y'all saw what I was saying about that. And then they just came with it. And out of the blue, it was like, well, if the baby could say what he was, Lil Nas X should be. I was like, what the f*** is going on? Right.

When I really evaluated the situation, and I sat and looked, I was like, oh, it's these a**es Korea that they looking at. Like, you know, as long as we're... What you mean? Break it down. Well, here it is. As long as we're gay and we're doing their hair, we're doing their makeup, we're writing their lyrics on the sideline, we're not an issue.

We're not a threat. But once we become eye level and then above, then it becomes an issue. Like, oh, now we worried about... Occupying spaces. Occupying spaces. That's an interesting take on it. There's so many different spaces. Lil Nas X and Boosie wouldn't even take up the same space.

Lil Nas X and T.I. wouldn't even take up the same space. They're in the music industry. Yeah, but it's enough for everybody, right? They should see it that way. Yeah, but a lot of people don't see it that way. They should see it that way. How long has it been since they've charted Lil Nas X?

When the baby said those things at the How long has it been since they've charted Lil Nas X? Eh, you know. When the baby said those things at the Rolling Loud place, I got a lot of bounce back for it because I wrote what was the reason. I wasn't necessarily, I love the baby. You know why I respect that? Because you want to know the reason. Yeah. Because you want to have a conversation.

Yeah. Let me educate you. Let's talk. What I wanted him to do as a real ass like I feel like that the baby is, I wanted him to say, I'm beefing with party.

I'm beefing with Meg, them folks. I'm beefing with all these folks over here. Them some over there. And so I was talking

to them. I can understand. Who was it directed toward? Right. So I was like, what was the reason? And so people took what I was saying like, oh, he got the right to say what he want to say about this. And y Right, so I was like, what was the reason? And so people took what I was saying like,

oh, he got the right to say what he want to say about this. And y'all, I'm like, no, I'm his fan. I don't want him canceled. He black like me. I got it because I'm a hood bitch. So I understood exactly what it was. It was a beef thing with a group of people. But instead of him being real and saying,

yeah, I'm beefing with them over there. I was talking to one in the parking lot. I met him and I said, what was the reason? Man, the shade room put that up there. And them people was dogging me. They was dragging me for like weeks. And I just feel like that they came with vitriol in their heart because I am T.S. Madison. All right, we have more with T.S. Madison when we come back.

It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with T.S. Madison. Yee. Well, let's talk about that because we also played a clip of you discussing Dave Chappelle.

And so you had an issue with that. Here's my issue with the Dave Chappelle situation, right? I didn't watch the special. How many times am I going to watch a comedian make transsexual jokes or whatever? I didn't watch it. So I did watch everybody in the community really have this issue with what he was saying. So I saw little clips of him talking about his trans girlfriend, Daphne, who was a white transsexual. And then I listened to my sisters, my black trans sisters say what they were saying.

I said, OK, I get it. In a nutshell, we really want black men who occupy positions of power to understand that they have extreme influence over the over our community. And who gets the short end of the stick when it comes to trans issues and things like that are the black girls. And so you as a black man need to understand that if your black trans sisters are out here screaming saying you got a good audience

of people but your black dudes are taking a lot of the things that you're saying and we are already met with so much vitriol. That's it. I didn't want them canceled you know what is interesting to me because like somebody like Sydney Starr for example right I've known Sydney

Starr for a really long time and some people would say she's a bad representation of the trans community a lot of people have said that about and people have said that about me about you yes they have so I want to get your take on that because people feel like you have to represent everyone, like you're not a diverse group of real people.

I personally wish, and I love Sidney to death because she's been on my show, The Queen's Supreme Court. I really wish I could have gotten Sidney when she was young. She needed a gay mama to get, a real gay mama to put her arms around her and be like, no niece or no daughter, this is not what you do. People are still mad at her for her conversations about Chingy. Then she comes with this Darius McCrary situation and then

people are still looking at her from the Chingy stuff. And I'm like, niece, now you know you've got to do better. Fill me in though. They posted a video of them together kissing. It was like a photo shoot happening. And then, you know, people, they were saying that they're not together.

He was saying that they're not together. This is my thing. If you like the girls and you like the girls, it's okay. It's a new day. And if you get caught on multiple occasions bobby valentino multiple multiple allegations multiple things the next time you get caught or whatever why don't you just throw your hands up you'll be like that's what i'm really waiting to happen so what about people saying that you can't out somebody right because i want to get your take on that because

i've heard that before i've heard trans women say well I'll never reveal the people who I've been with because I don't want to out people because then they get ostracized and I'm not saying that that's right or wrong but I want to get your take well here's my take if you have been living in your authentic self for however long you knew how long it took for you to come forth to say, all right, this is what it is. And this is how I'm going to live my life. I personally don't feel like that. It is my duty to put a man's business on front street. This is not me.

Oh, can the deal man. But it is not my duty to put his business on front street like that because I already knew what it was like for me when I was battling in my brain. Like who I'm going to tell my mama, how I'm who harm gonna tear my mama how I'm gonna tear my folk I'm gonna do this but I also feel like that if you've gotten quote-unquote call throw your hands a shot and be like yeah and I really think that that is what's gonna break the stigma around it yeah because the truth is nobody really cares like they probably think for. And the girls got to stop outing the men the way they do because it becomes sensationalized. People felt like you weren't, like we were saying earlier, a good, quote, representation.

Well, they didn't think. Why didn't they think you were? Because I'm in tune that I still have a penis and I don't want to have an SRS surgery. And I've been very vulgar about sexuality and sex and stuff like that. People are scared of those type of talks. Even if you're not trans, people do not like when you're just open about everything about you. Yeah, I'm open about that. I feel like I don't want you to be able to have any hold over me or skeletons to pull out the closet over me.

Live your truth so nobody can use your truth. Totally. Like, completely. And so, same way with Flame. Like, I love Flame. That's my sister. Now, everything that my sister say, I don't agree with everything my sister say. But Flame was one of the first girls on television that I saw on Comic View who I had some type of relation to.

Because Flame told jokes about her d***s at the top of her d*** at the bottom. Finally, there's some form of me that I see. I saw a conversation. It was you, Flame, Ashley, and Hope Giselle. Yeah, and I was a little disappointed

because I'm like, I f***ed with Flame because I like Flame. Why was you disappointed? I think that's, I forgot one of them was saying, I think it was Ashley was basically saying like, What f*** with Flame because I like Flame. Why would you disappoint her, Charlotte? I think that's, I forgot one of them was saying, I think it was Ashley was basically saying like. It was Hope. But it was Hope. You already know what it is. Oh, Lord. But she was basically saying that we only f*** with Flame because Flame

reinforces negative stereotypes of transgenders. I'm like, first of all, I don't even know no stereotypes of transgenders. And I f*** with Flame because I like Flame. I genuinely just like Flame as a person. I appreciate Flame's existence because she and I share some of the same views, not all. That pronoun stuff is not big for her.

It's big for me. You see, somebody like Flame would get me in trouble because Flame would say he, she, we, and I'm like... No, my pronouns are she, her, hers. That's why I didn't be saying Flame. But the way you stay out of trouble, Charlamagne, when you run into people who are in that binary spectrum, you say, hey, how would you like me to address you?

Just give me your name. Yeah, your name, but what are your pronouns? You're going to end up using a pronoun at some point. Because if you're having a conversation, like, well, she did, or it was her. So how would you, like, I'm, I'm still learning this stuff. Like, I'm on the set right now.

I'm in a movie called Bros. It's Universal Pictures. Billy Eichner. I'm Judd Apatow. Oh, congratulations. Thank you. Wow, congratulations. Listen, I left that basement.

I seen you in Zola, too. You had a nice role in Zola. Nice appearance. And I'm on the Netflix rom-com that's coming out with Gabrielle Union called The Perfect Five. What? Okay, TS. Yes, TS.S. is working.

You know, I left that basement and everything there for it in there and left it there. But that's another story that I ain't gonna be messy this morning with. But for all y'all hoes that was sitting over there talking about something, honey,

what was she gonna do after the incidents? Up and up. Hi, y'all. I'm gonna shot time. God, don't play by me. But I'm on set, and there's a PA there. And, oh, see?

I was going to mess up. And they identify as non-binary. And so I have to use they and them. That's some difficult s**t for me. Right. But I'm like, mm, I'm learning to do this because i'm old school queen like flame is an old school queen but i'm more open to absorbing it flame like is you got and i get it with her i get that i get it but i'm like okay i'm a generation after her so i'm still

like i'm open to learning these things because I want to respect everybody all the way around. I really want to occupy a respectful place because I don't have to accept everything, but I would like to respect. That's why intention is important. You might mess up, but if your intention is always based in kindness and goodness, I think that's important. Yes. And so there are times that I have slipped on set and I said she has and I've grabbed her arm. I've grabbed their arm. See, I've grabbed their on set and I've grabbed their arm see I've grabbed their arm

and I've said I'm sorry even me reporting on Demi Lovato sometimes that's hard for me Demi Lovato is different for me they get on my nerves bitch I ain't gonna say all that you ain't

bitch are you trans today are you non-binary tomorrow like now they are confusing this the aliens thing got on my nerve that's when i was like all right they say they're alien no uh demi said that don't refer to extraterrestrials as aliens it's offensive i'm like how you know what et you talk to yeah see it's that complicated stuff you know what i mean and this is why they will say i'm a detriment to community because I wears their ass out. And as much as I don't feel Caitlyn Jenner,

athlete's foot having ass, I respect her. Tell me why. And she and her. Because I want it back. All right, we got more with T.S. Madison. When we come back, it's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with T.S. Madison. Yee. So why did you and Kaya split? Uh, you know, I don't know. I seen one thing was one thing, then I seen another was another. From your point of view, what would you say was your experience?

The bitch don't want to grow. And she's so, she's so talented in all things. And she just does not want to grow. But we're going to see that bitch in front of that bookcase until she leaves here. And she blamed it on Nicki Minaj, this and that. I'm like, damn, you know, it was just so much stuff. Nicki came in there genuinely wanting to be a part of something that was growing so fast and so big.

Nicki was a part of what y'all were doing? Yeah, Nikki wanted to put that she wanted to roll it out, you know? I can see why. Listen, you know, say what you want. Kaya is highly entertained. She highly entertained it and then us together. We were highly entertained together and we reshaped

culture. I just wanted to step our f***y up. What do you mean? Everybody that's anybody comes to the Breakfast Club. I wanted everybody that's anybody to be able to come through our spot too, you know, and make it do what it do. Now, I don't know if that would have happened.

No, it wasn't. Y'all was hard on mother******. That's why it had to be light and dark. I don't want to just sit over there and say Keisha K or Han. Well, girl, what did Kaya say? That s*** is a mess. You can tell how old she is because of her motherf***ing hands. I was like, oh, God. And those

reactions I said were very real reactions. I would have loved. And she said, where are your children, bitch? Keisha K.O. came up here. She's like, she don't have no kids and this and the other, whatever, blah, blah, blah. But I would have loved for her to come to our s***. And it would blah, blah. But I would have loved for her to come to, ah, s***. And it would have been fun.

It would have been funny. But, you know, baby girl, she didn't have the same vision that I had. But then did you ever feel bad about saying things about people? Because then I also feel like sometimes we don't look at others as human beings. That's true. When we're talking about them until you're in that position and people are talking about you. Let me tell you something. You see what's going on with Wendy right now.

Them spirits is f***ing her ass up. And they f***ing her up because that purple chair comes with a cost. Me and that girl sitting next to each other it was a cost because as soon as we fell out, all our T's and all my my teas and all stuff started

coming out and people were reading me and all this type of so i i was on the other end of that and it just really made me like you know what madison i really don't want to occupy that space because i don't like that feeling that's real right i don't really like it on the head to you it'll eat you up eventually who you are it's eating windy ass up oh we send our healing energy we send our healing energy but we know listen whatever you put in the universe you will receive it back that's really you know and so that would have never i thought it was charlamagne i did i thought it would have been as big as this and it was as big as these things on because it reached all the way up to y'all ears we reached all the way to nick's ears. It reached the ears of the folks around the world.

I used to be in here playing it during the show. Just laughing my ass off. And it'd be going in on us, too. We would get y'all. We would get y'all because it would be things that you... She used to call me Charlemagne the Ever-Living Goddess. I gave you that name. Charlemagne the Ever-Living Goddess. You know, I did that.

But, you know, and I gave Wendy her name. Wendy, Wendy, I'll follow you all the time. But, you know, and I gave Wendy her name. Wendy Wendell Bartholomew Orenthal. But I don't do it no more. What? Wendy Wendell Bartholomew Orenthal. Rufus Clyde Theotis Pookie Eldover. James and the Giant Peach Hezekiah Walker Williams III.

I gave that bitch that name because, you know, every time she came up on our docket, I would always add a name to her. You know, but people started tearing me up madison how you want people to treat you like a woman and you misgender and wendy i'm like i never called her he you know what you was doing stop well she got the masculine name you know that's the big woman but that's the thing when my fans reprimanded me for that i toneded it down. I'm trying to eradicate it from my vocabulary. I'm trying. But I toned it down because it was like Madison, Laverne got on me. Laverne Cox said, Madison, I done seen

you over there calling, giving Wendy those masculine names. You know what that means. I said, oh bitch, you right. I can be checked. Earlier in this conversation when we first started, you were talking about your love life. There we go. Or lack of. So where are we at right now with it? right now i'm in a space of whatever dude i fool with right now i want him to live in his house and i live in mine see i'm a high maintenance

bitch when i get up in the morning i gotta have my wig on i want to look the same way i called him is the same way i want him to see me and it's times that I might want to pull my wig off. You don't think you'll be with somebody that you're comfortable enough to pull your wig off around? Because that's why it's wandering out here. Ladies, the *** are wondering. Because *** wonder. Because they wonder how that *** feel over there. And they wonder how them lips feel over there.

Because they know what's going on at home. Because the woman that he got with ain't the same woman he was with. He don't want about that ass no more. Well, black men don't cheat.

So get you a black man. Who told you that lie? I got a plenty black man right now. And they cheat. Black men don't cheat. I got plenty black men right now and they cheat.

And they cheat. Oh, you mean they cheat. So you a side piece? Yeah, yeah. You like that better? Yeah. She got to worry about that. Let her fries it.

You never had a girl call you and be like, you owe my money? You done had a girl call you too, Angela. Not in decades, I feel like. But you done had it? Yeah, absolutely. Let her worry about that shit. Would you ever tell the truth or do you deny it and cover for him? No, I'm not going to cover for him because he should have had his s*** together and not have my phone. He should have named me

KFC in there. Greasy chicken, bitch. So what do you do when a woman calls you about her man? Oh, what you want? Talk to him. Because if you talk to me, it's going to hurt your feelings. What if he was like, I want to leave my wife for you? Oh, no, I don't believe that. Ladies, if a man

tell you he want to leave his wife for you, run. That s*** a line. And if he leave his wife for you, run. That's a line. And if he leave his wife for you, he going to leave you for another bitch. Just to show his your ass, turn toward the ground. If he, if he, just to show his your ass, turn straight up towards the ground. If he get with you from another bitch, you best believe it's another bitch going to take it from you. Shelby, why are you... I'm trying to figure out if my ass is turned to the ground.

It is. It don't sit straight to the ground. It depends on what you did last night. I guess. Ooh. When you sit down more, I don't know. Charlie, man, you ain't never got into it. You know the prostate is there in the ass.

He knows. Oh, I saw American Pie. I heard about it. It's there. God is a woman. That's how you know. I believe that too. Because she played a practical joke.

Yeah, she played a practical joke on a man. See, me, I enjoy. Hold the brick that night. I played a practical joke. Why would you put the best gland on a man's... You know, to put it in his ass. You know what I mean.

First of all, let's be clear. They do not all say that. Charlene would tell you he like a little anal play. I mean I don't be putting Nothing on my ass First of all Let's be clear They do not all say that Charlamagne will tell you He like a little anal play I ain't never told you that Ever in my life Yes you have You said that

When has Charlamagne Ever said that You like your ass Oh yes No no I don't like it But it's happened No no no

Pierre My friend Pierre The comic Pierre Told me he had two women Throw his legs behind his ear And ate his ass Yeah I don't necessarily Like it, but it's happened. But did you stop him?

No, why would you stop him? And you liked it. That's right. No, it's because now I got something always to say. You get mad at me, I'll be like, but you ate my ass. Ain't nothing wrong with that. See, I don't want to talk because you're a married man, so I shouldn't be saying this stuff to you. The Bible says the bed is under fowl when you're with your husband.

So you can do all the things. That's right. So you can eat it. If you're eating your husband's s**t, the Bible says it's okay. If you got your tongue in your husband's s**t, ladies, eat these men's s**t so I don't have to. God damn it. Nobody has to do it. Yeah, they do.

This is man. Has anybody ever told you, no, I'm good. I don't like that. I mean, I don't really go for that. I'm a verse bottom. What do you mean? That means even though I still have my piece, I don't really like to, you know, penetrate men.

That's not my that's not my go to. Like, I'm not looking at a man's ass like, ah, I'm a bird watcher. I want to see what you print here now. OK. What that look like in those sweatpants? I'm not looking at a man's ass like, ah, I'm a bird watcher. I want to see what you're printing on. Okay. What that look like in those sweatpants? Now I want to see what it's looking like. So what I'm saying is I'm a verse bottom. I will only get on top of my dude if that's something that he requests from me.

I just, I don't want to have a sex change. I just don't because I feel like that. I'm totally, I'm at peace with my transition. This is it. This is as far as it's gonna go. Is it because it's scary to you? Well, once again, I want to say this out loud. I do not speak for the entirety of the trans

community when I say this. This is my experience. I feel for me that I still have my phone call to God. Explain. That's still my connection. Your d***? Yeah.

He gave it to me. I ain't do nothing but add d***s and everything else. What about your soul and your heart and all that? Oh, he gave me that, though. I'm connected to my female and my male side. We all are. I mean, no, we all should be. It should be divine masculine and sacred feminine,

sacred masculine, divine feminine. We should see you get it. And I'm glad. See, Charlemagne growing. Who y'all done had up here teaching Charlemagne? What you mean? Well, T.S. Madison, we learned a lot about you today. We have another guest that we got to bring in.

I love you It's T.S. Madison it's the Breakfast Club This is the Rumor Report With Angela Yee Rumor has it Rumor has it On the Breakfast Club Listen up

Well Cardi B was on her IG Live, and it was early in the morning. She was just talking about she misses being in the club. People need her in the club, and she's tired of all this slow-ish and hip-hop right now. Here's what she had to say. So I went to the club today. I know what is missing in the club. What? Me! They're missing me! They're missing my music! I came from the club today. I know what the f*** is missing in the club. What? Me! They're missing me!

They're missing my music! I came from the street club. And now that I'm in the game and everything, and I be seeing all these motherf***ers on Twitter like, you need to have fat. You need to have bars. You need to have this. I want to make music to turn the f*** up.

F*** is they hearing now? Well, go make the music that you want to hear in the club, then, body, be the change you want to see in the club. She was in the club. She got turned. Now, here's what else she had to say on these rappers who are doing lean and smoking weed. It's true. I feel like we keep hearing the same song over and over and over again. And I feel like f***ers nowadays, they making music with this type of beat that is made depressing. All these rappers nowadays, all of them want to die.

All these rappers need to stop doing lean and smoking weed. You know, this is the thing about these rappers, right? They get money and they start buying too much motherfucking weed and too much lean. And they make that slow shit. I want to turn up. The club need me. Well, she said wrong though I feel like I feel like there's an artist that says something like that at least every couple of months T-Pain said it a couple months ago in regards to the music how everything sounds the

same Dr. Draco sign like what did she say wrong well I guess after she woke up she was getting dragged on social media why was she in drag and was some backlash. Here's what she said about that. Guys, I just woke up. Ooh, I'm getting kind of dragged. You see, this is why I don't get on live because my a** is switching my words. I'm not going to go live no more. What they mad about? Because she was in a club and not blub?

No, and then she also posted on social media, I just want to balance. Sorry if I worded things wrong. I just love music that drive hard and turn the club up. And she mentioned Dreams and Nightmares by Meek Mill and Tee Grizzley's First Day Out as a perfect balance of rap and turn up. Like I always tell y'all, man,

if everything causes outrage nowadays, then nothing matters. Because I don't even know what they would be mad about in that situation. Makes no sense. But it is funny when she was turned up at the club, and then you do all that, and then you wake up like, oops. To be honest with you.

She didn't say anything wrong, though. She didn't say nothing wrong. Our producer, she's getting dragged for saying rappers want to die. I mean, they promoting the deaf lifestyle. If you promoting the celebration of drug use so much, that is what that ultimately leads to some of the music is talks about them wanting to die

how many artists have we seen pass away because of drug overdoses so yeah if they're making that kind of music that's celebrating that lifestyle that will lead to death alright now Lil Nas X tried psychedelic mushrooms to create his latest album Montero so he revealed in

Wall Street Journal's magazine's New Innovators issue, part of the process was talking to producers, reflecting on life rather than working on any music. And the psychedelics allowed him to push past lots of lingering feelings of self-consciousness. He said, I was able to open up a lot. I was able to write actual stories about my life and put it into my music. I actually did that for the first time. And you know, there has been a lot of talk about these magic mushrooms. Bob Marley's family

is launching a line of mushroom products this year in partnership with Silo Wellness. Mike Tyson also recently talked about taking some and he said his whole life changed after. Isn't this what Cardi B was talking about? No. Not with shrooms. Shrooms is plant-based. No, no, no. life changed after so isn't this what cardi was talking about no right now with drugs and stuff like that still drugs shrooms is plant-based no no no no no no shrooms is plant-based plant-based

medicine i actually punked out uh last new year's because we had a whole ceremony with shamans and healers and everything and i was like i'm not ready but just shrooms yet sound like the same to me no it's drugs as it is between plant-based medicine and prescription medication. It's drugs at the end of the day. No, man. It's drugs. She talked about weed. I never hear nobody talk about ODing on weed.

I thought she was talking about prescription pills like lean. She just said weed. She just said weed also. I don't agree with the weed. She said I need to stop smoking weed. I don't agree with the weed. It's drugs, drugs, drugs. Weed is plant-based.

I don't agree with weed. Listen, I've done shrooms plenty of times. I enjoy it. It's stuff that are plant-based I disagree with. Now, when it's them prescription drugs, them pharmaceuticals, different ballgame. But plant-based, no. All right. Well, that is your rumor report.

Shrooms, weed, ayahuasca. I can't wait. That's what Cardi B was talking about. All them drugs. No, it's not. No, she said weed. She can't even pronounce ayahuasca. She said weed, though.

Why would you say she can't pronounce? If you can pronounce ayahuasca. She said weed, though. Why would you say she can't pronounce? If you can pronounce ayahuasca, Cardi B definitely can. Definitely, yes. I doubt it. Spell it. Nope. Spell it. Spell ayahuasca.

A-Y-U-S-C-H-A-Y-A. Nope. How do you spell it, then? All right, well, that is your rumor. How do you spell E? We gotta go. See? You can't spell it either. We gotta go. She trying to Google rumor. How do you spell E? We gotta go. See, you can't spell it either.

We gotta go. She trying to Google it fast. Give her a minute. You tried it, so she ain't got a minute. I never tried ayahuasca. I've only ever done shrooms. Nor can she spell it.

No, definitely can't spell ayahuasca. It's a very difficult word to spell. All right. Okay. Well, who are you giving your donkey to, man? Four after the hour, Florida, you need to come to the front

As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step.

And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best.

And you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before. is that you're trying your best and you're gonna figure out the rhythm of this thing alicia keys like you've never heard her before listen to on purpose with jay shetty on the iheart radio app apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts make sure you tell them to watch out for florida the craziest people in america come from the bronx 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. It's a breakfast club, bitches. Donkey of the day with Charlemagne the guy. I don't know why y'all keep letting him get y'all like this Well Duval we're going to your hometown today Okay donkey today for Tuesday November 2nd goes to a Florida's English teacher a Florida English teacher named Carolyn Melanie Lee she is a 60 year old English language arts teacher at Darnell Cookman Middle High School in Jacksonville, Florida salute to everyone who listens to us on 93.3 to Jacksonville me too drop on the clues bombs in Jacksonville, Florida. Salute to everyone who listens to us on 93.3 The Beat in Jacksonville.

Me too. Drop on the clues bombs for Jacksonville, Florida. I go to Jacksonville a lot too. Shout out to Jacksonville. Okay. Salute to 93.3 The Beat. Wow. Hey, listen, I like Jacksonville too.

Florida, Florida, Florida. All right. What does your Uncle Charla always say about the great state of Florida? The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida. Florida just different. OK, that's what I was laughing about. Florida just different people from Florida are different. The energy is different. Such a beautiful place, but also a dangerous place, because if you're trying to avoid crazy, it's virtually impossible to do in Florida. That's why I think another season of Squid Game has to happen in Florida.

Let them go down there and let everyone who owes money in PPE loans compete to win a bunch of money so they can pay off their debt. And one of the challenges would have to be to avoid crazy. In Florida, that's impossible. Okay, see, I tell y'all on this radio all the time, in life all we are trying to do every day is avoid the crazy of others. In Florida, if avoiding crazy was a challenge on Squid Game, everybody would die. All right, because in Florida, you just don't know who's who.

See, when it comes to being a city girl, there's clearly no statute of limitation. And 60-year-old Carolyn Melanie Lee proves that. Would you like to know what the hell I'm talking about? Well, let's go to WJXT4 for the report, please. This local teacher of the year has been arrested, charged with child abuse. The teacher is Caroline Lee from Darnell Cookman School of the Medical Arts, and she was named the school's teacher of the year just two days ago. The victim stated in the report that when she arrived to her first period class on Friday,

her teacher said Lee wanted to talk with her. The report says Lee brought the student back to her classroom and asked the student why she threatened her. According to the report, the student said she never threatened Lee, but Lee then reached across the table and struck the student with the palm of her hand. The report goes on to say Lee called the victim expletives and then kept hitting her on the top of her head as her nose kept bleeding. The victim stated she began trying to hold both of Lee's arms to keep from being struck and Lee kicked her lower leg. According to the report, the violent incident was preceded by an Instagram argument between Lee and the victim on the Duval County Schools page. This was where Lee was being congratulated for winning Teacher of the Year two days prior. There was a comment that questioned if Lee was the teacher that used the N-word last year in class. A response from Lee said that she used it in the context of the book of Mice and Men.

The student said on the post that that was not the right thing to do and Lee agreed. In the report, Lee said she interpreted one of the comments as a threat to kill her. First of all, dropping a clues bomb for mice and men. Lenny and George. I mean, one of the saddest tales you will ever read in your life, man. Oh, emotional thinking about it. A 60 year old Florida English teacher who was named teacher of the year two days prior to this incident decided to set it on a student because the student was popping off about her on Instagram. Can you imagine being 60 years old, not liking a comment you saw about yourself on Instagram and then storming into a classroom and demanding that the student leave

with you because you got beef? Sidebar, word of advice, when someone has beef with you, never leave with them. Never go with them where they want you to go because they're just trying to get you alone somewhere so they can feel comfortable committing whatever crime it is they're about to commit on you nope if you bought that life handle it on site wherever we at okay i'm not about to follow you somewhere and make you more comfortable so you can violate me and that's exactly what happened here because when caroline got that student in the class alone she absolutely asked what's up now hope talk that talk you was talking on ig now then i'm reading the new york post and it says caroline struck the student in the face with the heel of her palm and called her a f and b word repeatedly and she landed several more strikes

on the top of her head and kicked her in the lower leg keep in mind okay keep in mind this is who the duval county public schools called teacher of the year two days prior to this incident. Now, Caroline got mad at the student because the student got on IG and criticized her for getting the award. I, you know, would simply like to say that student was right. A million billion trillion percent correct. Drop on the clues bombs for that student. All right. There's no way this old ass city girl should have one teacher of the year and those students who are in that classroom with her on the regular

understand that better than anyone and if she felt so comfortable doing that to that young girl that means she's probably been doing that to students okay i had a teacher like that in fourth grade whitesfield elementary school in moscow in south carolina i'm not gonna say her name because i don't know if she alive or dead and people be liking the suit. But boy, she used to be putting hands on students like her name was Clarissa Shields. So I am glad that this young student called this teacher out on social media and then immediately after the incident went to the guidance counselor to report the alleged attack. Now, where is this young lady's parents? Where is her family? Grandma? Mama? Aunt? Sister? Play cousins?

Caroline, you owe that family some blood. Okay, you owe a woman in that young lady's family a fade. Come outside. They're not going to jump you. All right? It's time for Floridians to have a crazy contest to see who can out crazy who. She put her hands on your child. Now you must put, you know, your hands on her. All in the name of Trina.

Those are the rules of Florida. All right, now Caroline has been removed from the classroom and will not return pending the judicial and internal procedures. This is just another reminder that there is fool and then there is Florida fool. And ain't no fool like Florida fool because Florida fool don't stop. Please let Remy Ma give Caroline Melanie Lee the biggest hee-haw. Hee-haw, hee-haw. You stupid mother******, you dumb. And salute the district superintendent, Dr. Diana Green.

She said, we will cooperate with all investigations and pending those results, we will take the actions necessary to stand up for and protect our students. So, yes. All right. All right, All right. Well, thank you for that donkey of the day. Now, up next, Michael Eric Dyson will be joining us.

He has a new book. He definitely has a new book. What's it called? It's called... Entertaining Race. Entertaining Race. Performing Blackness in America. That's what I said.

You followed, copying me. All right. Yes. We'll get to that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. This brother drops books like Gucci Man and Wayne used to drop mixtapes. Like, it's unbelievable. He's got another book out, Entertaining Race, Performing Blackness in America. Michael Eric Dyson is here. How are you, Blackness in America. Michael Eric Dyson is here.

How are you, my brother? Dr. Michael Eric Dyson. I apologize. Happy belated birthday, too. Thank you so much. I appreciate it. No, it's always great to be here with y'all. And I was listening to one of your recent conversations with T.S. Madison, man.

It was mind-blowing and expanding. Only on The Breakfast Club can you get some of that real information. When you tell me that you're learning something, I need to know what did you learn from that conversation. What did you take from it? Well, you know, it's the utter humanity of people, no matter what their sexual orientation, what their understanding of sex is, what their understanding of gender or race is. And to have an open conversation about it, for her to be as open and straightforward and irreverent and, you know, telling the truth about what her experiences have been, what she likes and doesn't like and how it informs her is something we need to hear. Because, you know, obviously trans identity in the news recently because of my dear brother Dave Chappelle's engagement with the issue, you know, has come to the fore. And I think, look, black people, at least me as a black intellectual,

I've been used to white folks saying all kind of crazy stuff or thinking all kind of crazy things. And you could either cancel them, cut them off, tell them to go to hell, or you could try to explain it. You schooled me on that. I mean, right? You could try to explain it and talk to them. I know a lot of younger black people

I was engaging in conversation with Michael Denzel Smith. Yeah, Michael Denzel Smith. And he said, I was first mad at your book, Tears We Cannot Stop, A Sermon on White America, because you were kind of explaining stuff to white folk, as opposed to writing to us.

And I was used to you writing to us. And I said, look, and I love that brother, man. He's one of the greatest young writers in America. And I said, look, man, I said, I didn't wrote 24. Well, by that time, I think it was 22 books. I got 24 and 28. So I'm trying to write books like Negroes write hooks. So I do what I do.

But I said, I've written enough and a lot. I've written a whole bunch for black people, and I will continue to do so. But I said, it's my obligation to also talk to white people and those others as well. And I think that at some point, the argument about Dave Chappelle has to go through. If you got an argument against what he's saying, that's perfect and beautiful. But make the argument. Don't kill what he's saying, because if he thinks that make the argument don't kill what he's saying because if he thinks that way maybe a bunch of people think that way in my class i used to go

if you think that way and you got a question you think is ignorant you don't tell nobody then maybe a lot of people have these kinds of questions plus how do we dismiss them out of hand because a lot of people are thinking right i'm sitting you know i was sitting here listening to your conversation with ts about you know her having breasts and also fully equipped with what God gave her at birth. She's saying that as the kind of lifeline to the divine. So that's a complicated, nuanced perspective about what sexual orientation is, about what gender is. How do we talk about feminism with trans women who come into the game? It doesn't mean you want to rule them out, right?

Look, I've been on record. I've preached sermons in black churches against homophobia when it wasn't a thing. I wrote a book about black women and loving them when it wasn't a thing, right? Why I love black women. It wasn't no black girl magic and no black boy joy. That was something long ago because I thought it was extremely necessary for us to address issues of gender issues of oppression issues of sexuality and the trans issue is extremely valuable because it makes all of us nervous and then what am i dealing with damn i mean what what you is it was deep enough when people like they said bisexual that gay

people and straight people were both mad at him. Make up your damn mind. What team you playing for? Well, trans raises it to another level. Let me tell you that your very binary notions of either or are a deficit thinking and a problematic way of thinking about it. But if that's true, if binaries are the problem that trans identities underscore, then let's not have an either or. Either you in or you out. Your point about accountability or cancel. Damn, can we do something more?

Can we say, I'm ignorant? Because we ain't talking about no right-wing fundamentalist assault upon the integrity of identity. We're talking about raising serious questions. And this is, again, where the cancel culture and the harsh repudiation of anybody who thinks differently or tries to raise questions that are full of integrity. I mean, to cancel Dave Chappelle, one of the greatest geniuses we've seen in comedy, because you disagree with him?

Boy, if I had the right to do that for people I disagree with, it would be deep. But what did I have to do? Read. I had to study. I had to make arguments. Oh, you coming with that? Cool. Let me tell you what I got to say about this.

So, I don't know. I was informed by all of that, and that's what I'm trying to do in. Oh, you coming with that? Cool. Let me tell you what I got to say about this. So, I don't know. I was informed by all of that, and that's what I'm trying to do in this book, too, is to have a more complicated and nuanced perspective about what it means to be black, about what it means to entertain the idea of race. I opened the book with a story of a young black girl who was being enslaved, right? She was being brought from Africa onto the ship and then from the ship into the new world. And she's a 15-year-old girl. She had been infected,

ironically enough, by the physician on the ship with a venereal disease. She's 15. They used to do what they call on the slave ships, dance the slaves. And it's also entertainment. It's entertainment for them, you know, for the white men mostly or non-black men who are on the ship. And it's a way of bringing, you know, a relief to the tedium of the journey. So this girl, one day she's feeling horrible and she doesn't want to get up. So the slave master, at that point the captain of the ship, grabbed her, Captain Kimber,

and then hung her upside down by one ankle and then whipped her and beat her to death. And why? What was the reason? Because she refused to perform. So I see that as a metaphor for what we have had to do in this country that black people, from the very beginning, black people have been asked, demanded, mandated that we perform. And not just in terms of sports or entertainment, but everyday lives. We've got to perform for white brothers and sisters in corporate America on street corners. On people who are asking us questions about who we are. So I wanted to look at that across the board and then bring all that stuff together.

You also talk about entertainment when it comes to sports, right? And then how they really pitted Colin Kaepernick versus Jay-Z with everything that's going on with the NFL. So can you talk about that? Yeah, I think that's unfortunate because, look, Colin Kaepernick is a heroic figure by any measure. You know, what he's done to really raise the issue in a way as an ideal symbol to articulate black resistance to social distress.

And the guy in the NFL who said, look, instead of sitting down on the bench, because that's what Colin was doing at first, he said, why don't you take a knee? That would show reverence, as you all know, for the flag and for American culture, even as you were protesting. He did that, and it still wasn't good enough, because white folk can't tell you how to protest them. You're not going to do things that make white

people comfortable. You're trying to make them uncomfortable. And the discomfort itself is a measure and an index of the distance between white practice and black belief. So, yeah, Colin Kaepernick was extraordinary, but Jay-Z, a genius, right, just

got inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the first hip-hop artist to be inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. That's another way. Jay-Z's way is, look, I've been a hustler. I've been a person who stood on street corners and engaged in nefarious activity that undercut my culture. You know, he talked about you had to learn to live with regrets on his first album. Marcy, son, that's

where I'm from. I'm from the place where the churches are the flakiest. He's been praying to God so long that they ate the earth. Wow, what does that mean? That means your prayers ain't getting answered with God you're praying to. That means your divinity may be distorted by the negative inferences that you've accumulated unconsciously in your mind and perpetuated as a legacy of your fundamentalist belief.

Damn. He said all that. Yeah. Is Mike Dyson making that up? No. Respect the God's intelligence and what he does. Hi, we got more with Michael Eric Dyson. When we come back, don't move.

It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Michael Eric Dyson. Yee. Are there some people who should be canceled?

Well, of course. Okay. I mean, like who? Like, let's see. You know, the dude that had the trial recently, you know, that was exploiting women through his music and doing it. Now, he was, but see, here's the thing. We know R. Kelly is a deeply troubled black man.

Mm-hmm. And we know he has to be held to account. But see, here's the thing. We know R. Kelly is a deeply troubled black man. And we know he has to be held to account. But God forbid if we said, you know, he also was subject to some vicious practices that our community covered, too. Not just covering R. Kelly because of the genius of his music. There's no doubt about his genius. I saw people saying, well, he ain't no genius. Stop. See, that's why you're illegitimate. That's why even your argument against him can't be taken seriously

because you can't even acknowledge the degree to which the ingenuity of his music was part of his charm and also part of his deceptive, irreverent exploitation and seduction as the Pied Piper. But there's also the argument that our community

covered up the kind of sexual abuse to which he was subject. And can we imagine a scenario where after serving whatever time he does, that we can figure out a way to redeem and bring him back into the community?

Right? Because if we didn't, there would be no Malcolm X. Malcolm X was a petty thief by his own account in his own book. The stuff he did, the biographies that came out afterwards suggesting that when

he was talking about one of his colleagues servicing a white man in the same sexual relationship, arguments have been made that that was a projection and a collection of stories of many people, including Malcolm. So my point is Either way, he was so evil that he called himself satan there it is at least by his standards he thought it was no question so the point is is that here's a guy who by those

standards was dysfunctional and incapable of being integrated into the larger circle of black america and yet he became one of our greatest spokespeople ever. That's right. Now, look, when they unleashed those tapes on Dr. King, 2027, trust and believe, son. It ain't nothing nice. It ain't nothing nice, son. And my point is, there are a lot of people then.

Therefore, when they see that, go try to counsel Dr. King. Are you kidding? Yeah. I don't like to compare morals. I don't like I don't like to do that. I like to play more Olympics. But Malcolm X was way more morally sound and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was. There's no question.

But Dr. King was far more effective as a social justice advocate for black people. That's right. Because he was in touch with his own frailty and lack of moral turpitude, so to speak, than a Malcolm X. Look, they're both great. But if we're going to compare, that kind of rigid judgmentalism that is council culture is Malcolm for the most of his life. Let's just be real. On the other hand, you've got a Dr. King. Now, it's not that they weren't being judgmental.

They were. Not that they were like, you know, they used to say, why can't Baptists, you know, have sex standing up? Because somebody will think they're dancing. So the point is, y'all forgive me for that but uh it is what it is so the judgmentalism the judgmentalism on both communities is real so but malcolm also chafed at the kind of narrow religious constraint when he saw the difference between himself and elijah muhammad and what was going on and the argument that in common they have made, have had affection for a particular young lady. So the point is, even when it looks on the surface like it's cleaned up and gussied up,

there are moral contradictions internally. So Malcolm X was a remarkable, major, fundamentally powerful leader. In fact, what you said, the FBI said, he ain't no Martin Luther King now. Even the FBI came to that conclusion. But having said that, if somebody put a tape recorder under your bed, what are we going to discover?

So Martin Luther King Jr. has his wife sent by the FBI to his wife, tapes of his indiscretions, and her having to stand up and say that wasn't my husband outside but on the inside knowing what it was. But here's the thing. And then even got to the point where she said, go ahead, y'all do what y'all want

because this movement is bigger than my marriage. I mean, she understood that. Now, we're not trying to say every woman should do that. We're not trying to suggest that duplicitous relations and the kind of moral disrespect or disloyalty that certain black men have shown to black women or men have shown to women should be tolerated. That's not what I'm saying. What I am saying, however, is that to cancel Martin Luther King Jr. based upon narrow litmus tests of authentic morality in a narrow framework misses the broader way in which he shattered

the manacles and the shackles that we all have now in 2027 when it comes out that martin luther king jr and a famous gospel singer had a white woman prostitute come to the room and then both engaged in relationships now that's already on the record i'm not trying to expose dr king i'm trying to say let's deal honestly and straightforwardly with what the flaws are that he possessed and still not cancel him because without him we wouldn't have the right to talk about cancer that's right without martin luther king jr none of us would do what we do or could do what we do humans will always fail purity test ain't no doubt about it and the purity test you have for somebody else you will fall into the bible says be careful about

the grave you dig because somebody you could fall in it yourself so the purity test you got for somebody else you gonna fail that's right you have uh essays in the book about dodds is one love a song that we don't talk about enough why why was that song so important well it was you talking about personal and existential. It was important to me because my brother, God rest his soul, Everett Dyson Bate, died nearly two years ago. I miss him every day. Spent more than half his life in prison for a crime we believe he did not commit of murder. But he was convicted by an all-black jury.

When they say black people don't send black people to jail, bull feathers. And that meant something to me because I would write him letters he would write me letters we would exchange sentiments highly intelligent young man in fact when soldad o'brien did the first black in america ours was one of the stories that what bonded us as brothers so when i heard that one love uh by naz with the the great jazz uh score provided the Heath Brothers and their genius and produced by Q-Tip. It was an extraordinary song and I wrote about it because it touched me on a personal level. And speaking of another genius in Nasir Jones and what I love about nasir jones and jay-z and and ll cool j you know dropping the knowledge making it possible and making relevant rap records not some oldie but

goodie stuff but making relevant rap records now uh that make a difference so that song touched me in a fundamentally uh determinative way but before we get out of here i gotta talk about the debate with jordan peterson yeah yeah you know he's a uh canadian psychologist and you know he's got a lot determinative way. Before we get out of here, I've got to talk about the debate with Jordan Peterson. Yeah, yeah. You know, he's a Canadian psychologist. And, you know, he's got a lot of different ideas and ideologies about gender and politics and culture war. Right, right, right.

And he likes to say, I guess, certain people are politically correct because they go along with everything. Right, right, right. Yeah, no, I had a debate with him. Me and Michelle Goldberg went to uh uh to toronto we went on his turf and they never scared so me and michelle goldberg who is a a columnist for the new york times were invited in a set of lectures over there to to debate and we debated political correctness and so me and uh me and jordan peterson got into it because i've seen him get a pass

on so many levels talking about stuff. I don't understand what you mean by well, he talks about this is the postmodern by which he meant there are no standards. There are no ethical precepts that bind us together as a community. But he said that is Max Horkheimer, that the word

critical and critical theory meant that anything that leads to the liberation from the circumstances that enslave human beings that's all he meant by the word critical so you're misusing the term so we went at it i end up calling him a mean man white man that's what i said i said bruh you know i mean and i know look i knew that that was going to go over like a brick cloud especially in toronto but again i will go wherever whenever to debate whoever about anything that i believe in which is why i'm so sick and tired of the cancel culture let me let me hold

the book real quick yes sir thank you michael eric dyson entertaining race performing blackness in america available everywhere you buy books thank you it's the breakfast club thank you thank y'all. The Breakfast Club. Yeah, drop on the clues box for Reverend Al Shopton. What's that song Reverend Al Shopton's dancing to? The one you made up? I didn't make that up. What's that song?

He in the vibe with that guy. What is that? I don't know what you're singing. What is it? Collar Greens. That's Capella Gray, man. Capella Gray. Oh, Capella Gray.

Capella Gray. Man, Al Shopton was wilding at the 30th anniversary of the National Action Network last night to Capella Gray. That brother was having a good time. That tequila kick, that Casamigos kick, then he lost his mind. He started doing everything. He started doing the rerun, the James Brown. Everything at one time. The running man, the moonwalk.

All at the same time. Toot that thing up, mommy, make it roll. Yeah. All right. Well, let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Chaz the rapper. It's about time. What's going on?

Rumor Report. Rumor Report. This is the Rumor Report. Talk to them. With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, Chance the Rapper was on the Facebook Watch series Peace of Mind with Taraji, with Taraji Henson. And her friend Tracy Jade, the two of them co-host that together. And one thing that he was talking about is the dark days of his mental health and why that inspired him to fight for better mental health services in black communities.

And, you know, you tell people man up, but that's not necessarily a good thing, according to Chance. Black men in particular don't feel that they can show their emotions right then and there. So they got a man up black men are naturally guarded you kind of have to be your weakness is preyed upon so i think it's a defense mechanism like you know like you don't want to necessarily grieve like you go to a funeral like you you're not like you kind of don't want to cry you know what i mean like yeah you don't want to to subject yourself to the feeling of like that weakness of like you know it just takes a lot to be cathartic to like to cry to

like empty yourself chance to rap is absolutely right it's all a defense mechanism but those days are over i'm crying in therapy out of therapy nothing i love more than hearing brothers and sisters expressing how they actually feel all right at, Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley has stepped away from football for his mental health. He posted, These past few weeks have been very challenging, and as much as I'd like to be on the field competing with my teammates, I need to step away from football at this time and focus on my mental well-being.

I love it. This will help me be the best version of myself now and in the future. He's absolutely right. And also, too, what Chance was saying, when you're telling somebody to man up, all you're doing is telling them to suppress their emotions and eventually all that trauma you're tucking away gets the best of you. You've got to deal

with your trauma. All your trauma will eventually deal with you. You cannot run from yourself. You just cannot. Now, yesterday we were talking about how Jay-Z did thank Damon Dash during his Hall of Fame speech. Well, Damon Dash is saying that he is ready to end his feud.

It's been going on for 20 years with Jay-Z. 20? Yes, an olive branch to him and thanked him in his speech. So Damon Dash told Page Six it was beautiful. I have no beef with him. If he has no beef with me, let's get the lawyers out of it then. Let's talk like men. But I definitely appreciate it.

He said, I'm glad he said it for the culture. We need to squash everything. So hopefully if that was an extended olive branch, I'll spin one back. But is there real beef? I mean, we've seen pictures over the years of Jay and Dame together. I remember one at Shaka's, I think it was Shaka's

Born Day Party at one point. It's not like Jay hasn't spoken on Dame before. But there was some legalities. I know they had attorneys against each other. I don't know if it was for something else. They just recently had an issue with this NFT situation. NFT situation, yeah. Yeah, with Rockefeller's first release with Reasonable Doubt.

I think Jay was trying to buy the rights to Reasonable Doubt. It's a lot of back and forth. But hopefully they can speak and get it together. And another thing that happened after Jay-Z gave that Hall of Fame speech is that he also had to go on Twitter, and you know he barely ever does that. And he said, in my excitement, I feel surprised and acknowledge Jazzo. He was the hometown hero that made the dream tangible. Thank you, good man.

Okay, let me lose this password for another year or so. Thank you all again. Incredibly humbled by your love. I'm glad he did that, but it don't count on Twitter, Jay. It does. You should have done it on stage. It's immortalized now. Jazz don't want to hear that on stage.

Well, you know Jay-Z don't write nothing down. You think Jazz didn't want to repost his video of Jay-Z in that nice tux from the Hall of Fame stage? Stop it. Don't hit the same. It just don't. Stop it. Y'all know it don't.

All right. Well, that is your rumor report. All right. Y'all know it don't hit All right. Well, that is your rumor report. Y'all know it don't hit the same. Shout out to Revolt. We'll see you tomorrow. Everybody else, let's get to the mix. Let's go. The Breakfast Club.

Your mornings will never be the same. Angela here talking about my friends at The General Insurance. They offer flexible payment plans and the ability to choose your payment date. Plus, they let you choose how you pay, whether that's with cash, card, or check. Call 800-GENERAL or visit thegeneral.com to learn more today. Some restrictions apply. We are the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest on the line right now. I know he's out and about because it is election day in New Jersey. We have Governor Murphy on the line. Hey, DJ Envy. Hello. Hello, everybody. Good morning, Governor Murphy. I hope we can still call you this after tomorrow. God bless you. Hello. Hello, everybody. Good morning, Governor Murphy. What's up, Governor Murphy? I hope we can still call you this after tomorrow.

God bless you. I hope so, too. How you feeling? Listen, I feel good. We're taking nothing for granted. We're running up and down the state. I just pulled into Cherry Hill, New Jersey, outside of Camden and Philadelphia. We're going to work our way north over the course of the day.

I'm proud of what we've done in our first four years. I'm proud to run on that record, but we take nothing for granted. These are crazy times in politics, and so we've got to make sure we turn over every stone. You know what's crazy? I didn't realize that you would be the first Democratic governor to win re-election in New Jersey. I didn't know that. 40 years. 40 years, yeah.

It's 44 years. Wow. Isn't that crazy? Everyone thinks that New Jersey is a really blue state, and that's a years. 40 years, yeah. It's 44 years. Wow. Is that crazy? Everyone thinks that New Jersey is a really blue state, and that's the fact, what you just said. So we're trying to break that curse. Now, I see your opponent attacking. I see they're spending millions on commercials about, I guess you did an interview, and you was talking about the state tax and said, hey, if your family or business doesn't want to be here,

then don't come to New Jersey. I'm sure you've seen those commercials. Believe me. It's completely taken out of context. Listen, this guy is unbelievable. He rubber-stamped Chris Christie's agenda. This state was a mess when I came in here. It was partly due to him. And we've turned this thing around and we've made it a lot more affordable.

We still have more work to do. But we're the number one state in America to raise a family. We're the most diverse state in America. We've put through incredible criminal justice reforms. This guy voted against all of them when he was in office before I got here. This is the difference, guys, between moving forward and going back to the bad old days. You know, one question my parents would have because they live in New Jersey is about property taxes, Right. And I know that's an issue as well, because the property taxes are so high in Jersey. Is there anything that can ever be done about that?

Sure. We've done a lot. Actually, we've had the lowest increases on record. I want to make them go down. Funding public education is a big part of that because that's 53 percent of your property tax bill on average. And we've funded public education at all-time record levels. By the way, we have the number one public education system as a result in America. We just got ranked the number one state in America to raise a family, the safest state in America. So we're making progress. I'm not saying that we're out of the woodshed, but tell your folks we're staying on it, and if we get reelected, we'll be on it every step of the way.

Now, Governor, you know, we're talking to Governor Murphy from New Jersey. Now, a big thing in Jersey is the floods. And I know a lot of people didn't have flood insurance and they weren't prepared for a lot of the floods that we had. I don't think anybody ever was. What are we doing to help those people? Because a lot of them are the

probably the most affected people are probably in the hoods. So a couple of things. Great question. First of all, FEMA has been great. President Biden has been helping us out in a big way. I asked him personally to come into New Jersey and look at the damage with me, which he did. FEMA is helping us out, so that's the first point. Second point, people should get flood insurance going forward.

No matter where they live, no matter whether they're in a flood zone or not. The storms are coming more regularly. They're coming with more intensity. And we've got to be prepared for it. And then thirdly, all this debate in Congress, enough already. Let's get some of this over the goal line. And that includes a lot of climate resiliency infrastructure. And the other part of that debate in Washington, which is striking, they talk about stuff like it's theoretical or abstract, and my answer is, we're doing all that in New Jersey. We're doing it. We know this stuff works. We know that

we can push back against climate change. We just need more help. We need more resources so we can do it faster and bigger. Are you afraid, you know, since the race, it's not necessarily close, but they're saying it's kind of close. Are you afraid of voter suppression? You always are, because that's part of the Republican playbook, right?

That's right. These guys, particularly in communities of color. So we've put an enormous amount of energy into particularly urban turnout. I'm going to be with Mayor Roz Baraka, who's a great mayor, in a couple of hours in Newark, making a couple of stops. These guys, listen, they'll do anything to try to close democracy down. My opponent spoke at a Stop the Steal rally. So it gives me an idea what I'm running against with Confederate flags and white supremacists. So these guys will do whatever they think it takes to close people, to close democracy

to people. I would not put it past them. Well, listen, when you win, Governor Murphy, you got to pull up to the Breakfast Club. Come sit with us, man. In person. Me and Envy are residents of New Jersey, so we're casting our votes for you today.

I love you. Listen, I love being on the phone with you. I love being virtually with you. I can't wait to get back in the same room with you, and I can't thank you enough for your support. All right, Governor. Thank you, Governor Murphy. All right, good luck today.

Thanks, everybody. All right, make sure you get out there and vote today, New Jersey and New York. And we got the positive note up next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Today is election day. We have mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwo.

Welcome. Thanks. Thanks for rolling out the opportunity to talk to all of you and your audience. I appreciate you. How do you like your chances, Curtis? Well, the over-under point spread. I mean, I've shot craps before. CeeLo, I'd say the 4-5-6. I take a few shots at that,

and you're talking to the next mayor. I'm going to be honest. You don't look like you're in good shape to be mayor, man. You look a little downtrodden right now. Arm in a sling, leaning to the side like something hurting well i gotta tell you i learned one thing from this campaign i got to avoid yellow cabs in 92 i got shot five times with hollow point bullets in the back of the yellow cab on the orders of goddy senior to goddy junior to the gambinos i survived that and on friday i got smashed by a yellow cab right in front of Radio City Music Hall as I was jetting across the street uh I gotta tell you I could have swore I saw Bill de Blasio looking through that windshield behind the driver's seat are you sure are you sure he didn't

have an Eric Adams for mayor bumper sticker yeah it probably did let me tell you yellow cab for Eric that's for sure so why are you. So why are you running for mayor? What are the reasons why you're running for mayor, and how can you change the city? Talk to us. Well, look, I'm associated with the streets. Been out there for 42 years as leader of the Guardian Angels. Not just here, but now in 13 countries, 130 cities. And so I'm out there in the public housing complexes, the streets, all the places where, let's face it,

the only Republican they've ever seen in a lot of these neighborhoods is Abraham Lincoln on a $5 bill. And yet they see Curtis Sliwa, not just because of the campaign, because I've been there before. And I think, I think my philosophy and trying to make for a safer city, safer streets, subways, parks, and most importantly, schools, is right on time. Whereas Eric Adams and I, we differ. We have different philosophies. We've known each other for 40 years, but obviously it hasn't been all that lovey-dovey of late. Curtis, you know, where the, you know, crime has gotten bad in New York again.

Where are the guardian angels, Curtis? Out in the streets, out in the subways, out in the neighborhoods, out there in East New York, Brownsville. That's where I spent a whole bunch of years while I was growing up in Canarsie. Up in Fordham and Webster where we started and in Mickey D's where I was a night manager. Oh, yes, one of my 17 cats won't let me alone. And obviously out there where people are in need. We've got about 300 guardian angels here in the city,

about 5,000 internationally, all volunteers, all doing this because they love their city. When's the last time the guardian angel stopped somebody? Because I need a mayor that's going to get the crime reduced in New York City, and I don't know if the guardian angels are actually out there protecting people. So why would I elect the Guardian Angel for mayor? Because we're taking care of the emotionally disturbed persons and the homeless who are everywhere. You have to be compassionate. You have to be caring. We've escorted them to Bellevue, Elmhurst, Kings County to get their medicines, to try to get them back on track city hasn't done that

look devos on his wife had thrived one in a quarter billion dollars they've spent have you seen any results no one is showing compassion towards these lost souls that's what we end up spending most of our time doing outreach to the homeless and especially the emotionally disturbed persons there's nobody from the city is that. And then they shove them into shelters where they got to get in by 10 o'clock at night, curfew, kick them out the door at 7.30. These are men and women who may have underlying conditions, alcohol problems, drug problems, emotional issues,

and they're not getting any services. Look, one thing I can guarantee you, I become mayor on January 2nd, we start caring for the emotionally disturbed, the homeless, and the most important group, which is the animals. I'm the only candidate ever to campaign on the issue of no-kill shelters. We're not killing any more dogs or cats or animals in our shelter system, which we do every day. We're going to find them a home of their own because a society that doesn't take care of its animals does not take care of its people just look out in the streets and the subways and the parks why are these people being forced to live and exist in these circumstances when we are the economic

capitalist uh epicenter of the world i agree with honey what are your thoughts on the vaccine mandates and making uh police officers fire department, medical workers, make them take these vaccines? A year ago, there were no vaccines and they were dying for us. Exactly. And I'm the only candidate out there standing with all these men and women who have now been fired. They haven't been laid off fire. They're not getting paid. They can't go out and get any other work. They can't apply for unemployment. They were heroes. We all applauded them, especially the health care workers. Remember, they crawled into the belly of the beast, the ICUs, the ERs.

They ended up getting sick themselves, dying, bringing the coronavirus sometimes back to their families. And now, like Michael Corleone and the Godfather, on his way out, Bill de Blasio is settling all scores. Where is the humanity and compassion? he has turned these heroes into zeros i get elected mayor january 2nd we rehire all these civil servants we give them their back pay and we have a second march through the canyon of heroes for these men and women alone because they've had insult added to injury.

I'm not going to have to show a vaccine passport. I'm not going to have to show ID. I'm going to be in a gymnasium with other people. Afterwards, I may go across the street just to get a sandwich and something to drink. And guess what? I have to show a vaccine passport and I have to show ID. Whereas I go through the Lincoln Tunnel, I don't have to show ID whereas I go through the Lincoln tunnel I don't have to show that's buff because nothing this is mad crazy why are the politicians doing this to us and Eric Adams is supporting Bill de Blasio on this roll back the mandates let these men and women work feed their families care for themselves and get back to being the heroes that they've always been instead of the zeros that de Blasio has made them all All right. May the force be with you. You got it. I got it. I got it.
