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. Listen to Post Run High on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Hey y'all, Nimany here. I'm the host of a brand new history podcast for kids and families called
Historical Records. Executive produced by Questlove, The Story Pirates, and John Glickman,
Historical Records brings history to life through hip-hop.
Flash, slam, another one gone.
Bash, bam, another one gone.
The crack of the bat and another one gone.
The tip of the cap, there's another one gone.
Each episode is about a different inspiring figure from history.
Like this one about Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old girl in Alabama
who refused to give up her seat on the city bus
nine whole months before Rosa Parks did the same thing.
Check it.
And it began with me.
Did you know, did you know?
I wouldn't give up my seat.
Nine months before Rosa, it was Claudette Colvin. Get the kids in your life excited about history by tuning in to Historical Records.
Because in order to make history, you have to make some noise.

Allow me to introduce myself.
DJ Envy, Angela Yee, and Charlamagne Tha God.
Boy, y'all came a long way.
I think that y'all have a certain amount of respect for, you know, what everybody else does.
And y'all are just the best at what y'all do.
This platform, the reach y'all have that you've earned, makes space for somebody like me.
You guys have a direct line to the culture.
Oh my God, I'm on the radio with Angela Charlamagne and DJ Envy.
Yes, you are. All I do is read about the Breakfast Club.
Every morning,
you guys are trending.
I drag my ass out of that.
I'm like, what happened
at the Breakfast Club today?
Good morning, DJ Envy. Charlamagne Tha God. Peace to the planet. It is Friday.
Yes, it's Friday.
Friday.
Weekend is here.
I mean, listen, don't get me wrong.
Weekend still means something.
Remember when Friday used to really mean something?
Like you would have plans to probably go away somewhere or just even go out somewhere.
You know what I mean?
Fridays used to mean so
much more now every day just feels like the same day a good day but the same day nonetheless yeah
well you don't have work tomorrow but yeah i get what you're saying i used to travel or you know i
would have a dinner date or i would have something to do now it seems like really not too much to do
just chilling and it's still snowing here on the East Coast, which is disgusting and I hate it. I'm tired of the snow now.
I really am.
I've been tired of snow. Snow is disgusting.
Snow looks good when it first
falls. Like it's all clean looking
and pretty. But then once it stays for like
a week or two here in
New York or New Jersey, it just gets gross.
It does. Well here in New York after a day
it gets gross.
After one day in Madrid it looks gross out here. It's disgusting. Yeah, it's Bob and Rita Marley's daughter.
Also, Amanda Sills is getting honored.
And so is Dean Nice.
So I want to shout out to them and everybody that's part of it.
Dougie Fresh is hosting and Janelle Snowden.
So I'm excited for this weekend.
Normally, it's a big deal every year.
It's like one of the biggest things that I attend.
But this year is a virtual.
But I want to shout out to all of the
recipients who are getting their awards
and that money does go to benefit the students
that want to go to the University of the West Indies.
What island is D-Nice connected to?
I know my sister Amanda Seals is Grenada.
Grenada, massive all day. Nutmeg,
massive. Dropping a clothesline for Grenada.
What's D-Nice?
Let me see. What island is D-Nice
from?
I'm not sure.
I don't want to say the wrong thing.
He's from the island of the Bronx. Yeah, I don't want to say the wrong thing because I think I know, but I don't want to say the wrong thing and be wrong.
He's from the island of the Bronx.
The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida.
They are definitely islands unto themselves.
There you go.
Definitely the island from the Bronx.
All right.
You should definitely need a passport to go to Florida.
You should need a passport to go to Florida. You should need a passport to go to Florida.
You need a tracking device to go through the Bronx.
Just in case you go through there and don't come back.
Just in case something happens?
Yep. Oh my goodness.
Alright, well let's get the show cracking.
Now we got front page news
coming up. What are we talking about?
Well, let's talk about Senator Ted Cruz.
While everything was happening in Texas
and people are struggling and still having issues with water and power, he went off to Cancun.
All right. And also, Audrey Jackson and Eric Adams will be joining us.
Audrey Jackson is Pop Smoke's mom.
Today is the one year anniversary of his passing.
So we're going to talk to Audrey Jackson and Eric Adams.
All right. So we're going to talk to them a little bit later as well.
So Front Page news is next.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Let's get in some front page news.
Now, quickly, last night, I know Yee's excited about this,
but the Brooklyn Nets beat the Lakers last night.
109-98.
LeBron James had 37 points, 8 rebounds
and 7 assists.
Kyrie Irving had
16 points. James Harden had
23 points and
that's it. A win is a win,
but let's be clear. Anthony Davis didn't play either, though.
Anthony Davis did not play.
Kevin Durant didn't play either.
Yeah, Kevin Durant didn't play.
Yeah, but you still got Kyrie Irving and James Harden on the court
with LeBron and who?
Shout to Amon.
Doesn't matter. It's a win.
Let's go.
I don't know why Amon Shumpert hasn't played yet
because I know they traded him.
I've been waiting for Shumpert to play.
But anyway, what else are we talking about?
Well, they also, since we're talking about that,
did name the all-star teams.
And so the captains are going to be LeBron and
Kevin Durant for their respective
teams. Also on the West, it's going to be
Steph Curry, Luka Doncic,
I'm going to say his name right,
Nikola Jokic, and Kawhi
Leonard. And then for the East,
it's Giannis Antetokounmpo, Bradley
Bill, Kevin Durant, Joel Embiid, and Kyrie
Irving starting. Yeah, I'm not
excited about the all-Star game this year.
I mean, I guess it's not a whole weekend around it.
And the fact that I know a lot of those players don't want to play.
And the fact that I know Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms doesn't want them in Atlanta to begin with.
She wants them in Atlanta.
She just doesn't want the parties around there.
She doesn't want us there.
Yeah, yeah.
She wants the NBA there.
But that's impossible.
There's going to be plenty of parties around it.
So it's like a dark cloud over the All-Star game.
How many parties you DJing in Atlanta that weekend, NB?
Five.
See?
Exactly.
Five.
Exactly.
Five.
I understand Keisha Lance Bottoms' concern,
but niggas going to nigg.
All right?
Always remember that.
I guess Atlanta has the vaccine before all
of us.
People have been doing this everywhere.
They had the Super Bowl at Tampa. They've been doing it
everywhere. It's not just Atlanta.
It's been all-star in Atlanta since this
pandemic started. Pretty much.
All right. Senator Ted Cruz, by
the way, has flown to Cancun,
Mexico. We were talking about this yesterday.
One of our listeners called in and she was going through it in Texas.
And she was saying that Ted Cruz went over to Cancun and he did fly back.
Now, here was his reasoning why.
It certainly was not my intention for that to be understood as critics have tried to paint it as somehow diminishing the suffering and hardship other Texans had experienced.
It was obviously a mistake.
And in hindsight, I wouldn't have done it.
I was trying to be a dad.
When you've got two girls who have been cold for two days and haven't had heat or power and they're saying, hey, look, we don't have school.
Why don't we go?
Let's get out of here.
I think there are a lot of parents that'd be like, all right, let me if I can do this.
Great.
You can get that survival of the fittest.
That that survival of the fittest. The mayor, Tim, what's his name?
Mayor Tim, the Tim Boyd. That's a survival of the fittest.
Mayor Tim Boyd was talking about yesterday. Oh, yeah. And your family is cold and your family needs water and your family needs food.
Is that is that how you survive? That's how you thug it out.
But why did he have to go with them? Now, he put out a whole statement about what he did.
He said, with school canceled for the week, our girls asked to take a trip, wanting to be a good dad.
I flew down with them last night, and I'm flying back this afternoon.
My staff and I are in constant communication with state and local leaders to get to the bottom of what happened in Texas.
And he said, I will continue to use all our resources to keep Texans informed and safe.
Now, he did say that it was like a last minute type of thing.
He wanted to be a good dad.
But then they have text messages that were sent by his wife and it painted a different picture.
She asked friends in a group chat, anyone can or want to leave for the week?
We may go to Cancun.
And she said they wanted to get a direct flight.
She said their house was freezing and she suggested a trip lasting until Sunday.
They also were talking about staying at the Ritz Carlton.
Well, if only all the families in Texas could just up and leave and go to Cancun.
That's such a luxury, but it's not a surprise.
I mean, these people don't give a damn about us.
They are not public servants.
They are not here to serve the needs of the public.
They are in positions of power for their own self-serving reasons.
And those reasons don't have anything to do with the people who elected them in the first place.
And when you see folks on the ground,
like our guy, Trader Truth,
like our guy, DJ Mr. Rogers,
when you see these people actually on the ground,
going from location to location,
family to family and helping who they can,
you got to ask yourself,
how come they not the ones in positions of power?
Why aren't they the elected officials?
Right.
Well, not Ted Cruz, even though he had said-
Because they're doing the elected officials job for them. he had said he was going to come right back.
But here is what he said.
Another statement that seems to contradict that.
As I said, really, from the moment I sat on the plane, I began really second guessing that decision and saying, look, I know why we're doing this.
But but I've also got responsibilities. And it had been my intention to be able to work
remotely, to be on the phone, to be on internet, to be on Zoom, to be engaged.
But I needed to be here. And that's why I came back.
Yeah, it was a lie, but I get it. I mean, your kids are freezing. You should have sent your kids
and your wife, you know what I mean? You're the senator, you know what I mean? You send your kids
and your wife, let them, you know, stay in the warm and you go out there and help the people.
That's what you're supposed to be doing. Right. That's what the senator is doing.
Right. Supposed to be helping the people of that state. Right.
That's what he should have. I think the family got to freeze, too, though.
If your constituents are cold, then you got to be cold, too, because guess what?
You wouldn't even be in this house or in this position if it wasn't for your constituents.
I think you got to I think you got to thug it out with the rest of the citizens of the state.
I really do. You can thug it out, but you send your kids, you send your little girls.
I don't know how what age his kids are, but I would send you your little girls and your wife.
And then if you got it, if you can afford it, you send them and you stay and you thug it out and you join Trader Truth.
And Mr. Rogers, get on the back of their trucks and really help feed the people and rescue people.
And that's what I'm saying. The way folks like Trader Truth, Mr. Rogers, and Relief Gang move
is how you expect your elected officials
to move. You expect them to show up
in your time of need. You expect them to
show up when the city and the state is in
distress, but no. They on their way to
Cancun. Passport stamp, baby.
I fly first
class to change the forecast.
Imagine Ted Cruz would have tweeted
that out yesterday.
First class to change the forecast on Imagine Ted Cruz would have tweeted that out yesterday. First class to change the forecast on that ass.

Christ. Oh my goodness.

People have literally
Been alone for the past year
And some change
Yes
Yes
They are
But I thank you for that
Because it really
Does affect people
No I agree
That is
Yeah
Thank you And I think WandaVision that is yeah thank you and i think wandavision is
amazing so thank you for uh talking about that oh i can't wait to watch episode seven tonight so i'm
assuming that you were alone on valentine's day but it could be because of the bad covid 19 vice
you give out and people know that you don't really social distance and wear a mask and stuff and so
it could have been that i have had the second dose of the vaccine for over a month now.
So thank you very much.
Okay, essential worker, we see you.
Look at you.
She said calm it down.
Oh, this vagina vaccine, vaccined up.
Yes, yes.
And I'm okay being single, shall I?
When you love yourself, being single is not a punishment.
You are good to go, girl.
Hello, who's this? This is Lee from Vegas. How y'all doing? What's up, Lee? Give me a good to go, girl. Hello, who's this?
This is Lee from Vegas.
How y'all doing?
What's up, Lee?
Get it off your chest, bro.
So, yeah, I was telling you,
boy, man, I've been dating this girl
that's been on all these fans
and she makes like $10,000 a month.
You know, she's doing really good for herself.
She's a dancer or whatever.
We've been talking for like a year.
We had some real ups and downs.
I've been kind of like taking a couple of shots and dealing with some
I usually wouldn't deal with people. And, you know,
I'm kind of wondering like if I'm, you know,
the pandemic kind of got me down now,
would it be weird for me to ask her like, you know,
to join on her only fans to get in a better position in my life?
Or like, should I just let her go?
Wait, hold on.
You want to be on her only fans or you want to create your own page
i mean honestly i'm just trying to get in on the on the money while the money is good you know i'm
saying but it's like she kind of hasn't insinuated we've been dating for a while and it's like
you know i don't want to be a mooch or anything i would love to establish my own income out of that
you know but like i feel like she might not have the love for me that i have for her because she
i love it, bro.
Plot on them pockets.
Plot on her pockets, bro.
Women do it to us all the time. What would be on your page?
What would be on your page?
I mean, the same thing she do.
You know what I'm saying?
I don't know what she does.
What does she do?
She does sexual content.
Okay.
So you want to, okay.
Why you just don't try to get some of her money?
Oh, she is sex.
Like sex.
I mean, because honestly, I grew up with a single mother,
so I would never ask a woman for her money.
You know what I'm saying?
But it's like, I've been kind of dealing with that lifestyle for a year,
and it really hasn't panned out for me.
You know what I'm saying?
It's kind of embarrassing when everybody knows what your woman's personal stuff was like.
And it's like, you know, I'm not saying she owe me anything,
but it's like, after a year, you would think she'd be like,
yeah, babe, you should get in on this.
Why would she tell you she She don't know that you
wanted, she doesn't know that you would want to do that.
You can't assume that. Well, we've
had a conversation. That's why it's kind of frustrating, because it's like,
she said, she don't think I'm ready
for that lifestyle, and I'm like,
what? She might be ready.
What's her Instagram? Shout
it out, man. Like, send people to her Instagram so she
can make more money. No, it's OnlyFans. Her OnlyFans.
I ain't making no money. I ain't doing it. She done already got enough help from me. Wow. King, let me tell you something, man. Send people to her Instagram so she can make more money. No, it's OnlyFans. If I ain't making no money, I ain't doing it. She done already
got enough help from me. Wow.
Let me tell you something, King. Why don't you
approach her like the boss that she
is and why don't you say, look,
boss lady, how can I earn an extra
$1,000, $2,000 a month working
for you? And then ask her what
you ask her. Really?
Why don't you just do it?
Why don't you be her manager?
Why don't you be her manager, bro?
She already got content on there with her ex that she cheated on me.
She don't need it.
Yeah, she don't.
What?
Why don't you just start your own page?
Y'all missing some good stuff.
Y'all ain't listening to me.
I know.
He said she has content with her ex that he cheated.
Yeah, you got to take that down.
Yeah, you got to take that down.
I kind of, you know, took it to the chin because I was like, yeah, maybe. Oh, you gotta take that down. Yeah, you gotta take that down. I kinda, you know, took it to the chin
because I was like, yeah, maybe I'll just
Oh, so did she.
You know, but yeah, I had to get that off my chest.
She got me messed up, y'all.
So I'm gonna find another OnlyFans girl.
I'm sorry.
Why don't you just start your own page?
Why do you need her to start your page?
Just start it.
I think men's OnlyFans kinda goes with, a lot of money put in a promo.
She kind of showed me how it all goes.
And I'm like, it'd be so much easier.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, I'm about to go through all that work.
You know what I'm saying?
You should follow Bobby.

Okay.
Let me ask you a question. Yes. Me and my best friend got into a little argument last night right so
on wanda vision do you think wanda's a good person or do you think that he is a bad person
for what she's doing man that's such a great question i think wanda is grieving you know
what i mean and that's the thing about the marvel movies they always show the superheroes in a human
light so i think that she's she's just simply grieving she lost her brother you know what i mean and that's the thing about the marvel movies they always show the superheroes in a human light so i think that she's she's just simply grieving she lost her brother you know
she lost she lost vision her the love of her life and i think she's just grieving so i you know i
can't judge her for what she's doing while she's while she's grieving you know that's so crazy you
sound like my best friend i was telling i was like but no i said but what she's doing to the people
and the way that she's controlling their mind and everything that she's doing to them she is like really showing me that she's not really a good person oh well two things
can be true i think i think both of y'all are right you know i mean but but i think that's just
up the whole show is up for interpretation you know i mean but she's definitely grieving though
yeah yeah yeah you're right you're right you're right but i was going to talk about two things
real quick so fan bases there are two horrible fan bases I want to talk about. One
is the Eagles. They kept
saying how Carson went. They're horrible. I hate the
Eagles fans. I hate
Eagles fans. They kept talking about how
Carson went. Was better than Dak Prescott.
And now, look, they got rid
of that bum quarterback and sent him
to the coach, right?
Yep. And now
what they got to say,
because Zach Prescott was always better.
And second is, and this has nothing to do with Nicki Minaj,
because Nicki has been chilling.
What are you talking about this morning?
Say it again.
Go ahead.
Nicki has been chilling. She's minding her business, and she has been doing good.
But her fan base is still one of the most disgusting
trash fan bases.
And they literally,
all they do is go around
and mess with other female rappers.
They be mad at their business, bro.
Yeah, nah.
I bet you won't put your,
I bet you won't put your
Twitter, Instagram out there, though.
You know them bobs
that show up at your front door.
I don't put up my,
I've only put up my Instagram. That's right. You scared, you talking slick about the bobs, but you won You know them bobs will show up at your front door. I've only put up my Instagram.
You talking slick about
the bobs, but you won't tell the bobs where
to find you to pull up.
You won't tell the bobs to pull up, though, Trav.
The garbs need a life, man.
But all right, y'all.

Oh my gosh
Thank you for calling, Mama.
Average energy is fine, too, though.
That got weird.
Have a great day.
You, too.
All right.
No, what's so good about that call?
She's a white woman, right, who was celebrating black people,
but also went to a stereotypical trope about black men.
I know.
I didn't want to break her heart and tell her that's definitely not true.
Well, maybe the people that she's experienced, it's true. it off your chest 800-585-1051 we got rumors

Feeling tired?
Depressed?
A little bit revolutionary?
Consider this.
Start your own country.
I planted the flag.

I own this.
It's surprisingly easy.
There's 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete.
Everybody's doing it.
I am King Ernest Emmanuel.
I am the Queen of Laudonia.
I'm Jackson I, King of Kaperburg.
I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia.
Be part of a great colonial tradition.
The Waikana tribe own country.
My forefathers did that themselves.
What could go wrong?
No country willingly gives up their territory.
I was making a racket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead.

who refused to give up her seat on the
city bus nine whole months
before Rosa Parks did the same thing.
Check it.
And it began with me.
Did you know, did you know?
I wouldn't give up my seat.
Nine months before Rosa, it was called a moment.

Well, a big rest in peace to Prince Marky D. He is one third of the group, the Fat Boys.
He passed away suddenly yesterday.
They did not mention a cause of death on the Rock the Bells channel on Sirius, where he used to host a radio show.
Now, he also was part of the pioneering rock group, like I said, the Fat Boys.
And remember, they had that movie called The Disorderlies.
They were also in Crush Groove.
Prince Marky D moved on to a solo career after the Fat Boys.
He did sign with Columbia Records.
He released his debut album Free in 1992.
And he also worked as a radio host.
And yeah, so rest in peace.
Yeah, if you've been in Miami the last 10 years,
if you've been in Miami the last 10 years,
he DJed a lot of the strip clubs.
So when you're probably at the strip clubs,
he was probably DJing.
And he was a great dude.
He always took care of me and my family
when we came down there and he was DJing.
He was DJing for like the longest time.
I think he did Booby Trap.
He did a couple.
What was that big, big club in Miami that time?
King of Diamonds?
He DJed most of it.
G5.
He DJed a lot of those clubs.
And like I said, very, very good dude.
You know, you come into the club, he always comes, gives you a pound and a hug just to say what's up and have great conversations. So
definitely rest in peace. He also wrote and produced for other artists. Yeah, 52 years old.
He wrote and produced for other artists too, like Mariah Carey, Ariana Grande, Drake, Jennifer Lopez,
Mary J. Blige, Destiny's Child, Frank Ocean. So what did he write for Drake? I mean, I'm sure, I don't know exactly what he wrote,
but he has writing credit on some of those songs.
Big records, too.
Big Mary J. Blige records.
Big Mariah Carey records.
Stuff like Real Love.
I was actually looking at Artemis Gordon's page yesterday,
and he was posting all of the different songs
that Prince Marky D produced or wrote on.
Like, very, very extensive catalog.
Absolutely. Yeah. So, rest in peace to Prince Marky D produced or wrote on, like very, very extensive catalog. Absolutely.
Yeah.
So rest in peace to Prince Marky.
He also used to be on 103.5 in Miami.
103.5 The Beat.
Mm-hmm.
All right.
Now, Quavo is making his big screen debut opposite Robert De Niro, and the movie is
called Wash Me in the River.
So the film is shooting in Puerto Rico right now.
And according to Quavo, he told Variety,
I honestly think this movie is going to be one of the greatest to come of this time.
The experience was unbelievable for me with Robert De Niro and Jack Huston being so down to earth and making me feel like family.
Going to see me doing some stunts and a lot of what you hear from me in my rap.
This is one of my biggest debuts I've ever had.
And so proud of what we did and to get to work with Randall, who's such an amazing guy.
I can't wait to do more films with him.
I love to see it. I wanted
to see more of the Migos, you know, Quavo
and the Migos on the screen since
that appearance they had in
Atlanta. So I think that's a great
look for Quavo.
All right.
And Sihai the Prince,
he says that the alleged gunman
chased him on the highway as he tried to
escape in reverse.
We already told you about this earlier.
Saihai the Prince was driving in Atlanta and he got ran off the road and shot at.
And we don't know who did it.
He has no idea if it was a mistaken identity, if those people were really looking for him.
But here's what he had to say on TMZ Live. I was on the highway and I thought they were trying to race me.
So I tried to like just, you know, go to the next lane. They speed up and get next to me again. I realized they
were following me. So I tried to speed off and smash on the brakes so they could go past me.
They actually smashed on their brakes on the highways. So we almost had a pile up. So I tried
to get to the right shoulder and I put my car in reverse and start reversing back up the highway.
And they made you turn on the highway and start driving towards me.
Yeah. So let me just tell people out there who don't know something similar happened to me.
But when you drive in reverse, your car only goes 30 miles per hour in reverse.
So if you're trying to back out of a situation like backing down a highway,
because I tried to do the same thing,
your car can only go 30 miles an hour.
I guess they put a limit on the car
how fast you could go backwards.
So you can only go 30 miles an hour.
So when those guys turned around to get them,
they can catch them immediately
because your car can only go but so fast
going in reverse.
What happened after Si High did the abrupt U-turn?
Why did it cut off like that?
What happened?
Well, he turned around and he tried to take off.
He wound up crashing into a ditch.
The car flipped over.
He hopped out the sunroof and kept it moving and started running.
And he seen him come to the car.
Do you want to hear what Sy High had to say?
Oh, I didn't know.
I didn't know if you had it.
Yeah.
I'm like, why'd it cut off?
Yeah, because it cut off.
I didn't know you had it.
I was intrigued.
Here you go.
Well, I was getting off at the exit.
That's when the gunfire started.
Me, I'm just kind of swerving back and forth, ducking and everything.
And it was so much gunfire, I had to just go on and do what I felt like was best for myself.
So I felt like if it was a car robbery, if I wrecked the car, that they wouldn't want the car no more.
I didn't expect to hit a pole and hit a tree.
I was just trying to go to the side of the road.
But I was going so fast that I lost control of it.
And that's when I landed in the tree.
All right.
And then what?
That's when they started shooting at him after that?
Right.
They were shooting at the car and everything.
He's really fortunate.
That has to be one of the most traumatizing experiences,
like to think God really got you.
Did he come to any conclusions because i know prior he didn't know whether they were
trying to rob him or kill him like i don't think he talked about that no he doesn't know
and the words of sean carter uh broke because don't want no cash they just want to kill you
that's all right well that is your rumor report. All right, thank you, Missy. People are miserable right now. If they can't get no money, the jealousy and envy they have for you just having
and them not having at this moment, they'll take you out just for that.
And that sounds so crazy.
So crazy.
All right, well, front page news next.
What are we talking about?
Well, let's talk about the officers under investigation after the Capitol riots.
We'll give you some updates.
Where are we starting, Ye?
Yes, well, let's start with the Capitol police
who are now being investigated.
Six Capitol police officers have been suspended,
29 others being investigated
for their alleged roles in the riots
that happened on January 6th at the Capitol.
So right now, one of these suspended officers, they are saying, took a selfie with someone who was part of the mob thatth at the Capitol. So right now, one of these suspended officers,
they are saying, took a selfie with someone
who was part of the mob that overtook the Capitol.
Another wore a Make America Great Again hat
and started directing people around the building.
So these suspensions and investigations
come at a time of a lot of turmoil at the department
as officers are trying to figure out who was in on it.
But we knew this already though.
Yeah, we knew this already.
And suspensions are not enough.
Forget investigations.
I hate when they say investigations, when we saw these things happen on video.
Like there's nothing to investigate.
The six officers who have been suspended have been suspended with pay.
It's like a vacation.
It makes no logical sense whatsoever everybody everybody is is
deserved due process but some situations due process is absolutely positively not necessary
especially situations like this get rid of them they gotta go bye they should have been fired
immediately when people come in the capital and they're trying to attack and kill people got killed
and you're taking selfies and pictures.
Absolutely.
And you're directing people to where to go.
You should be fired immediately.
That feels like that's... They're traitors.
That's treason.
You know what I mean?
I thought that we don't negotiate with people who commit treason in America.
Like, come on, man.
All right.
Now, right now, State Assembly Republicans are trying to form an impeachment commission
to gather facts and evidence.
And that is all surrounding Governor Andrew Cuomo in New York's handling and subsequent cover up of the COVID-19 crisis in nursing homes in New York.
So right now they're saying that next week they'll introduce a bill to create a bipartisan panel that's going to examine the state's method of administration and conduct in all matters related to nursing homes and long-term care facilities during the COVID-19 pandemic.
So they said that Cuomo's top aide, Melissa DeRosa, admitted on a conference call with
lawmakers that Cuomo, his administration withheld the true death toll of nursing home residents
for fear that it would be used against us by federal prosecutors.
They said it's one of the most alarming scandals we've seen in government.
Damn.
Yeah, we will keep you updated.
And I've been trying to follow this
story now because I guess
he was feeling like this was going to be used against
him. But you can't lie. You still have a
responsibility, even if you feel like Donald
Trump as president is going to take away
some resources from you and attack you.
You still have a responsibility to report the correct numbers.
Yeah, I can't even speak on the situation because I haven't even heard about the situation.
Yeah. And according to sources, they're saying that Cuomo is threatening people and threaten their career if they did not cover up for what she said.
So, you know, they said Governor Cuomo tried to pressure them to issue
statements and it was very traumatizing
and there's certain lines that you're not
supposed to cross and they said he was very angry
and threatening people and threatening to destroy
people's careers if they told.
Everybody got to be held accountable for the consequences
of their actions, okay? I don't care
how good you were during a pandemic.
I don't care how
good you were during a pandemic keeping, you know care how good you were during a pandemic, keeping
the city abreast of what
was going on. If that happened, then you
got to be held accountable. Period.
Alright, well that is your front page news.
Alright, thank you, Miss Yee.
Now when we come back, let's open up the phone lines.

Now, Charlamagne asked a question since it's Freaky, Freaky Friday.
Charlamagne wants to know how many penises?
Yeah, how many penises is too many?
Do you care about your woman's body count?
You know what I mean?
Like, that's been the conversation all week.
All right.
So let's open up the phone lines.
Let's talk about it.
Let's start with you, Charlamagne.
What do you think?
Well, I'm not on the phone.
But, I mean, it's layers to what Boosie said, right?
Number one, we just assume, you know, Lori Harvey is having sex with all these
guys.
We don't know that, you know, she did.
She could just be dating, but whatever, you know, and number two, Boosie said, would I
want my daughter sleeping with seven or eight guys in a matter of months?
Right.
The answer is hell no.
I don't want that for my daughter at all.
But third, and this is the most important thing.
You have to remember the serenity prayer at times like this. God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage
to change the things I can, and most importantly, the wisdom to know the difference. My brothers,
let me tell you something. Your wisdom should tell you that you can't control what any woman
does with her vagina, period. And you will drive yourself crazy thinking that you can. And when it
comes to your woman, you can't change her
past so if you grow to love a woman and she tell you she got 20 bodies 40 bodies whatever it is
you're not gonna leave her if you've really grown to love her and guess what the reason women don't
tell you their real body count is because they know you can't handle it so i don't know what
boozy talking about to be honest because every woman got a past and he's saying you can't handle it so i don't know what boozy talking about to be honest because every woman got
a pass and he's saying you don't care the women that he's with got a pass i mean so you're saying
you don't care boozy by the way has clearly slept with a whole lot of women based on the amount of
children that he has in children's mothers so and and the main the main reason that i don't care is
because like i said once you grow to love a woman any any penis other than yours is one too many. You know what I'm saying? That's just the way a man's ego is set up.
But can you learn to look, can you love a woman knowing that,
let's say there's 20, 30 or 40 before you love it. When you,
when you first start dating,
can you continue on knowing that there might've been 30 or 40?
Oh no, that's no, that's not going to work in the beginning.
But that's what I'm saying. Well, that's, that's part of it.
I think a real confident and secure, it's easy to say, Oh, I don't want this that's part of it. I think a real confident and secure,
it's easy to say,
oh, I don't want this,
I don't want that.
But a real confident and secure man
doesn't care who was with you before
if they with you now.
No.
That's how I feel.
I have never ever had a man even ask me
how many guys have you slept with?
I think that's a weird question
because I wouldn't even ask a guy that.
Like who even asked anybody that?
That's not a beginner
question either though that's a question that you have later later later later on you don't
just give up your body count why are you just telling your body count on the first date
no but but if you're dating somebody and you get to that that conversation and let's say the number
is 30 can you see yourself moving on with that person before you fall in love before you get
into the all that no myself you know I cannot. I'm just being honest.
I cannot. Yeah, that's not a
beginner's question, but if you've already
grown to love that person, you ain't
leaving just because they got 30 bodies. Because guess
what? You probably got 30 or 40
of your damn self. What if she left you because
all the bodies you got? That is
facts. But let's go
to the full on. Real confident men don't care who you've
been with before them they just care that
they with you now
and nobody should
use your past
I'm not a confident man
because if you knocked
off 50 dudes
and I know you knocked
off 50 dudes
I'm not confident enough
to be with you
that's just me
and it's hypocritical
because y'all be sleeping
with all these women
and then want somebody
to be not doing
what you did
somebody is safe
and confident
and they do what
they want to do
with their body
we're missing one very important
thing here though. What's that? Because
Boosie specifically talked about
these guys in the industry
and sadly,
if a woman sleeps with
one or two guys in the same
profession, she does get
labeled a hoe. It's just
the truth. It's not that she is
a hoe, but she gets labeled that the truth like it's not it's not that she is a hoe but she gets labeled that so it's like if you sleep with you're not going to date a guy if that guy slept with
your friend and then somebody else your friend is different that's a that's more of a girl code i
don't care if it's just one person you slept with that one person is your friend then that's just a
different thing but if it's other people then yeah okay let me ask you a question if you was dating
a guy who you found out slept with three or four other radio personalities,
would you stay with that guy?
No.
As long as they're not my friends, then that's just girl code.
If it wasn't my friends and I don't know these women like that, maybe I just know them casually,
then that's fine.
So if he openly dated three or four other people in the industry, right?
Just openly dated, like in the radio business,
you wouldn't care?
No, I wouldn't.
What if he's a radio personality too,
and that's who he's around?
Now, what about you, Sean?
Let's say you were dating a woman
that was the same situation,
dated many men in the industry,
three, four guys in the industry.
Could you continue dating that person?
I'm married, sir.
I can't even have that.
Yo, yo, yo, I hate you.
Listen, I'm going to tell you something.
I don't even hypothetically cheat no more, bro.
Okay?
You came up with this question.
What are you talking about?
But let's go to the phone line.
We were talking about penises.
Oh, penises makes it slide in easy.
Okay, I get it.
Hello, who's this?
It's George.
Hey, George.
So we're asking, George,
does your girl's body count matter to you?
If your girl was...
Hell yeah.
It's like a car, man.
You can't have too much miles on a car.
You're a liar.
Why you call him a liar?
Let me ask you a question.
So what if you've already grown to love this woman?
The woman that you with now, right?
That's different.
You grew to love her.
That's different.
So as you grew to love her,
you've been with her,
then she tell you your body count.
You leaving her?
No, but it's going to be an argument
every time we get... Every time she pisses me off be a it's gonna be an argument every time we get every time something she picks me up it's gonna be an argument that's fine
but you can't say you can't say if you love her already like if you love her already there's a
lot of things that's gonna slide if you found out that she was a a prostitute way back when that
might slide but i'm talking about if you're dating her and you know that she had 40 dudes or she had
30 dudes or 20 dudes could you
still stay in that situation i really i really don't think you can help where you go okay yeah
but it depends how long ago it was well it's last year we know we got covid going on we got
well listen what if and i'm just using michael b Jordan Because that's Lori Harvey's current boot right
What if they get married
And have kids
And live happily ever after
What if that's really his one
What if that's really his soulmate
Who cares who came before him
And if that's the case
Alright well 800-585-1051
We'll take some more of your calls
It's The Breakfast Club
Good morning.
It's Friday, so you know what that means.
It's Freaky, Freaky, Freaky Friday!
And the Freaky, Freaky, Freaky Friday question comes from Boosie.
Now, Boosie was talking on Lori Harvey, and this is what he had to say.
I just say y'all got it f***ed up saying that's gold.
If you saying that's gold, that means you want your daughter to f*** seven or eight, nine n****s in a couple months in the industry.
If that's gold, if that's cool with you for your daughter doing that, then I can't say s***.
But what's wrong with y'all motherf***ers is y'all salute the woman who get passed around,
but y'all dog the woman who stick by they n***a when they f*** over.
I don't personally, I'm going to be honest with you, I just don't personally care.
I mean, you know, call me a simple whatever it is, but I know that every woman has a past.
And, you know, even if you know about that past, you cannot help who you grow to love. That's just my mentality. It is what it is. I get what you're saying, grow to love. But if you notice before you
fall in love with them, could you continue on? Could you continue to date? That's the question.
Because if you fall in love with somebody, a lot of things slide because you already get to
notice each other. But a lot of times you won't get to know that that person because of their past or because of something that you've heard.
That's that's just the truth. But but even even if you've already heard these things. Right.
And even if you already know this person's past, you know, men are so quick to add to a woman's body count.
Right. Even though we know about a person's past, we quick to add to the body count.
What if as we're adding to that body count, just in conversation,
we actually dig this person.
And you get to know this person
and you like this person
and you really do grow to love this person.
Like I don't, you know,
I just, you know,
it's different ways to look at this.
Like if you know a girl got like,
you know, a train ran on her
by like some of your boys,
that's a little different.
You know what I mean?
It doesn't matter.
But let's say if you fall into it.
No, it doesn't.
If you fall in love with her and you already
fall in love with her, she tells you something happened 10 years ago.
Do you fall out of love with her
that happened 10 years ago, 20 years ago?
That's what I'm saying. But if you know it,
going into the relationship,
it's a done deal. For myself, it matters.
To me, it matters. Especially when you meet somebody,
it matters. That's what I mean. If you know
of a girl and somebody got a train ran on her
before you start kicking it with her, that's different. But I mean, you you know a girl and somebody got a train ran on her before you start kicking it
with her, that's different. But I mean, you know,
if she tell you that five years,
even a year or two into
the relationship and you already into her, you're just like,
oh man, you know what it is. Let's throw some
holy water on that vagina and keep it moving, man.
Let's pray for repentance.
I pray for repentance for your vagina, you know what I mean?
Let's take your vagina to the past
and let's pray over it. And listen, Boosie tried
to say that he wouldn't want to date Lori Harvey.
I don't believe that. I don't believe that.
They were like, would you date her? He was like, nah,
like, come on, stop. And by the way,
Lori getting a bad rap too, because we don't know if Lori's
sleeping with these men. And that's true too. We don't know
what Lori's Harvey relationship is. She could just be dating.
And there's nothing wrong with dating somebody.
But even if she is, who cares?
She could do what she wants.
It's her body, whatever.
He shouldn't care who anybody else is dating.
If it's not your girl, what do you care what she does?
All right, let's go to the phone line.
Hello, who's this?
This is Katrina.
Hey, good morning.
We're talking your significant other's body counts.
Does it matter?
In the back of my mind, to be honest, you always think about it,
but it's always kind of like, what are you willing to accept and not accept.
And sometimes I feel that, you know, sometimes men,
not trying to be discriminated,
but sometimes making it away with a lot more than women can,
especially based off our chemistry and our makeup.
But worst-case scenario, you can always just have that person go test it
because you never know what you pick up along the way
because you have all these people
that you slept with
and the people that they slept with
I've been saying, I mean
there's some stuff that, you know
soap and water and hand sanitizer don't get rid of
No, that's true
That's very true
Alright, thank you mama. Hello, who's this?
It's Big E
Hey, what's going on asking
does a person's body count matter to you when you're dating them honestly it don't matter to me
but it just mattered to me that some of the guys think that they did something like
your girl could get the same treatment
you know what i'm saying but another thing too, Charlamagne, I seen on your Instagram, like, women talking about, oh, he couldn't get no, your daddy didn't get no women.
Like, how do that?
Me and my wife got the same, all our kids through the same person.
Me and her.
Four kids.
So that's what I'm like, that's stupid to do like that.
But you know that, though.
But that's why I posted it, because niggas going nigg.
I posted it because it was funny, man.
The guy said, the girl said, having the same parents with all your siblings is a flex.
And another girl retweeted her and said, if your dad ain't getting no bitches, just say that.
That's so stupid, man.
All right, man.
Thank you, brother. What's the man. Thank you, brother.
What's the moral of the story, guys?
I mean, the moral of the story is simply you just cannot control what a woman does with her body and what a woman has done in the past.
Hey, man, that honestly might keep you from getting your soul made if you care.
Truthfully.
That's just something that I don't know if you should necessarily give a damn about it in that way.
Personally. I well, we got rumors coming up. So don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

I think I did some financial freedom and generational wealth and real estate.
I can't remember.
We've been doing so many of these.
I don't know if this goes to that.
I really don't know.
Well, I filmed my part in our juice bar, Juices for Life in Brooklyn.
So we're having some drama right now.
No, this is the one I did with Gia.
This is actually, I did Black Love.

I don't remember.
Eddie!
You don't know what's going on.
All right, well, we got rumors coming up.
Yeah, I don't know what's going on with that either.
Beyonce and Adidas, they are providing financial assistance to people who have been affected
by the winter storm.
We'll give you more information on that.
And also, what else she has coming out today.
All right.
Beyonce doing more than them bum-ass politicians in Texas like Ted Cruz and Tim Boyd.
All right.
We'll get into that next.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Is your country falling apart?
Feeling tired, depressed, a little bit revolutionary?
Consider this.
Start your own country.
I planted the flag.
I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine.
I own this.
It's surprisingly easy.
There's 55 gallons of water 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 Kaperburg.
I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia.
Be part of a great colonial tradition.
Why can't I create my own country? My forefathers did that themselves.
What could go wrong?
No country willingly gives up their territory. Well, why can't I trade my own country? My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong?
No country willingly gives up their territory.
I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead.
Oh my God.
What is that?
Bullets.
Bullets.
We need help!
We still have the off-road portion to go.

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, 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.
Listen to Post Run High on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
What's up, y'all? This is Questlove,
and I'm here to tell you about a new podcast I've been working on with the Story Pirates and John Glickman called Historical Records.
It's a family-friendly podcast. Yeah, you heard that right. A podcast for all ages. One you can listen to and enjoy with your kids starting on September
27th. I'm going to toss it over to the host of Historical Records, Nimany, to tell you all about
it. Make sure you check it out. Hey, y'all. Nimany here. I'm the host of a brand new history podcast for kids and families called Historical Records.
Historical Records brings history to life through hip hop.
Flash, slam, another one gone.
Bash, bam, another one gone.
The crack of the bat and another one gone.
The tip of the cap is another one gone.
Each episode is about a different inspiring figure from history. Like this one about Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old girl in Alabama who refused to give up her seat on the city bus nine whole months before Rosa Parks did the same thing.
Check it. I wouldn't give up my seat. Nine months before Rosa, it was called a moment.
Get the kids in your life excited about history by tuning in to Historical Records.
Because in order to make history, you have to make some noise.
Listen to Historical Records on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee,
Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Let's get to the rumors.
Let's talk Beyonce.
This is The Rumor Report
with Angela Yee.
Rumor has it.
On The Breakfast Club.
So listen up.
All right, Beyonce and Adidas
are providing financial assistance to people who have been affected by the winter storm.
Her Be Good Foundation has announced they have teamed up with Adidas and Bread of Life.
And they're going to seek to give up to $1,000 to individuals who have some financial hardships because of the disaster that has left a lot of people in Texas without food, water or power.
So if you need to do that, you can go fill out an application to get that financial
relief. And people in surrounding states
can apply as well. But the emphasis is
that it's a one-time payment.
It's not for ongoing financial challenges.
It's only for people because
they were affected by this storm.
Hey, man. Beyonce doing
more. Beyonce doing more for Texas
than those bum-ass politicians, Ted Cruz
and Tim Boyd. And it's great
marketing for Icy Park, by the way.
Yeah, they actually are releasing this new
Adidas collection today that she has, the
Ivy Park clothing label with Adidas.
And so the Icy Park capsule...
Oh, it's Ivy.
But Icy Park is the capsule part
of Ivy Park. So Ivy Park is the overall
brand. She don't need no press.
That thing sells out in minutes, so she definitely don't need no press. You can go to adidas.com slash Ivy Park and see
what's available if you can get yourself anything today. All right. And let's talk about Young Thug.
Young Thug is saying that criticism doesn't hurt him because his family doesn't want for anything.
Now he was on social media, on Instagram, and he posted this. It's gone, kids. I don't care about having friends. And it's just for all the young entrepreneurs that's taking care of business,
but still worried about how motherfuckers look at them and how they're viewed, you know?
Like, sometimes I be having to come to my senses like, bro, all my people straight.
That's right.
Perspective.
I really like Thugga Thugga.
I really like young Thugga.
I like Thug too.
I like Thug too.
Not only does his family not want for anything, but, like, listen to all the real stuff he just broke down and he got going on in his life.
Like who got time to really be caring about what people say about you on the Internet or anything else when your family is going through real life issues and coming through on the other side?
It's all about perspective. I like that, Thug 2.
Absolutely.
All right. And Kodak Black is engaged. Some people are saying he's already married, but who knows? But he did propose.
And the woman is Mellow Rack.
She's another rapper.
And he also posted a, she posted a social media clip. He gave her a diamond ring and there was an aircraft in the sky that said the message,
might as well marry me, Melody.
I love you.
Now, when he was on The Breakfast Club, he was saying that he was in love with somebody.
I don't know if it's her or somebody else, but listen to this.
You think you could be monogamous, though?
Yeah.
Do you know what monogamous means, Kodak?
No.
I know.
Exactly.
That means that you can be faithful to one woman.
One woman.
All the way.
Yeah, I could.
Listen, the other night, I fell asleep on the phone with a girl.
I ain't do that since, like, middle school.
So that's your girl?
What was you saying to her?
We were just chopping her up. For the first night ever, you talked to only one girl. Yeah. So that's your girl? What was you saying to her? We were just chopping it up.
For the first night ever, you talked to only one girl?
Yeah. Is that the one?
I hope so.
Okay.
I wonder if that's
who young Kodak was talking about. Wasn't Kodak
just singing to JT the other day though?
Yes, he sure was.
From the city girl.
But there's also other drama. There's all kinds of drama that's going on.
Now there's another woman that says she was recently with Kodak Black.
And she said they've been dealing with each other on and off since 2018.
Her name is Rine Trill.
And she posted, I was just at his house in Florida.
And, you know, she posted about the girl, why she thinks she's doing something.
And then this is all kinds of drama.
I don't even understand what's going on.
There's a man now that's claiming
that he is Mello Rax's ex
and he said they were together just last week.
I'm confused.
I'm setting a date on the yacht for my baby.
She's mad at me.
Been set it up.
Sending her Addie, sending her everything she don't pull up.
Man, good gifts and all.
Showing me good drinks, good eats.
F***ing crazy.
Who was that?
That's the dude.
That's the guy that says he was Mello Rax's boyfriend
that says that they were together last week.
Well, she engaged to Kodak now.
So once again, that goes back to the conversation
we was just having about 20, 30 minutes ago.
It don't matter.
One of my OGs told me that one time.
He said, you know, a dude
would be like, yeah, I used to sleep
with his girl. I sleep with her now.
You know what I'm saying? She with me now. Like, it is
what it is. Like, who cares? And also
too, in Kodak's defense,
he did just get out of jail. How long he was in jail?
A couple years? Yep.
Listen, guys fall in love in jail with them
phone calls, letters, pictures.
But no, I'm talking about if he was indeed with another girl other than his fiance, he just got out of jail.
Getting some of the rust off, that's all.
Well, there's a lot of drama going on surrounding this on both of their ends.
So I guess now it's F the world, it's us against the world, right?
Yeah, I hope Kodak's happy.
I hope he has found love and I hope he stays out of jail.
Slowly.
That's all that matters
Alright
Well I'm Angela Yee
And that is your rumor report
Alright thank you Miss Yee
Charlemagne
Yes sir
Who you giving that donkey to?
For after the hour
I'm giving donkey of the day
To the worst Cuban American
In Congress
So says the Miami Herald
Ted Cruz
We need him to come
To the front of the congregation.
We'd like to have a word with him, please.
All right, we'll get to that next.
It's the Breakfast Club.

This don't be a donkey, because right now you want some real donkeys.
It's time for Donkey of the Day. So if you ever feel i need to be a donkey man
hit it with the heel did she get donkey today please i have become donkey of the day
at the breakfast club bitches you're a donkey donkey of the day for friday february 19th goes
to senator of texas ted cruz now yesterday i gave the
biggest hee-haw to colorado city texas mayor tim boyd or should i say ex-mayor because he resigned
after this because tim boyd wrote on facebook that no one owes you or your no no one owes you
or your family anything nor is it the local government's responsibility to support you during trying times like this sink or swim it's your choice the city and county along with power providers
or any other service owes you nothing i'm sick and tired of people looking for a damn handout
that was the former mayor of colorado city texas talking to his constituents in texas
in regards to the deadly and record-breaking winter storm that has left much of the state without power since Tuesday.
Now, Tim Boyd said, for anyone who doesn't have heat or that, what?
What being water and power? Tim Boyd said only the strong will survive and the weak will perish.
He said, if you have no water, you deal without and think outside of the box to survive and supply water to your family. Well, you have folks like 23-year-old Kevin Ayala, his wife and four-year-old son who tried to think outside the box to keep warm.
When their electricity went out, Kevin used the generator to keep warm, but he bought the generator inside the kitchen, which caused the house to fill with carbon monoxide.
They got sleepy and passed out. Luckily, a friend stopped by
and was able to rush them to the hospital
so his wife and son recovered,
but Kevin sadly passed away.
Now, Kevin, Tim,
clearly did what he had to do to survive.
Is he not strong because he didn't make it, Tim Boyd?
Inquiring, taxpaying citizens would like to know
because when I hear stories like that,
those are true stories of folks attempting to live.
Those are true stories of folks fighting the elements and doing what they had to do in order
to keep their families warm and literally losing their lives to do it. Well, I tell you what,
Jay Jenkins' voice, they wouldn't have to risk their lives to survive if they had elected
officials who actually gave a damn about the people they are supposed to represent.
You got this human jar of Hellman's head ass, Tim Boyd on Facebook, telling folks to basically shut your poor asses up. As I said yesterday,
Tim Boyd might as well have quoted juvenile, huh? You know what it is. You make nothing out of
something. You handle your biz and don't be crying and suffering. Okay. He might as well
have said that yesterday as if it's not his job to wipe those tears away after people are crying,
as if it's not his job to lend a helping hand when folks are suffering,
as if it's not an elected official's job
to be there for the people he governs.
Well, maybe it's not.
Maybe this social contract between government and citizens
doesn't really exist like I thought it did
because enter Ted Cruz.
He did what he had to do to survive.
Tim Boyd said, sink or swim,
but Ted said, F that, sink, swim or fly.
Ted Cruz was repeatedly, repeatedly slammed other politicians for vacationing during a crisis,
decided to travel first class to change the forecast. Oh, he packed up his family
and went to Cancun while millions and millions of folks in Texas were freezing their ass off.
Let's go to CBS News for the report, please.
Republican Senator Ted Cruz of Texas is back in the U.S. after facing criticism for flying to
Mexico while his state battles a brutal winter storm. These photos went viral, showing Senator
Cruz and his family at an airport Wednesday. Now, sources tell CBS News he was originally
scheduled to return Saturday, but changed his reservation this morning.
That's in contrast to a statement the senator released Thursday,
where he said he was, quote, wanting to be a good dad and flew down with his daughters,
who he says asked for the trips and school was canceled.
He also said he was in constant communication with state and local leaders.
Now, Ted Cruz released a statement via facebook like
tim boyd did he put in all caps um let me read this verbatim with ted cruz that he said up in
the clouds me and my spouse rumors on the ground getting too loud please turn them down can't hear
myself think hashtag bitch don't kill my vibe wait hold on i don't think that's right wait
oh no that wasn't
ted's real statement this is ted's real statement listen it certainly was not my intention for that
to be understood as as critics have tried to paint it as as somehow diminishing the suffering and
hardship other texans had experienced it was obviously a mistake and in hindsight i wouldn't
have done it i was trying to be a dad when you've got two girls who've been cold for two days and haven't had heater power and they're saying, hey, look, we don't
have school. Why don't we go? Let's get out of here. I think there are a lot of parents that'd
be like, if I can do this, great. As I said, really, from the moment I sat on the plane,
I began really second guessing that decision and saying, look, I know why we're doing this, but but I've also got responsibilities.
And it had been my intention to be able to to work remotely.
But I needed to be here. And that's why I came back.
Now, Ted Cruz could get donkey donkey today for just this move alone.
This move alone should cost him his seat in 2024.
Actually, he should just resign now. Okay, just like Tim Boyd did, but he won't. But another reason he's getting the credit he deserves for being stupid is because, as I said earlier,
Ted Cruz has repeatedly slammed politicians for vacationing and doing other recreational
things during crisis. Oh, this past December, Ted Cruz tweeted Austin Mayor Steve Adler and said,
hypocrites, complete and utter hypocrites. And don't forget Mayor Adler. And he added him,
took a private jet with eight people to Cabo. And while in Cabo, recorded a video
telling Austinites in Austin, Texas, to stay home if you can. This is not the time to relax.
He literally tweeted that to Steve Adler in December when Steve Adler went to Cabo.
And Ted Cruz on Monday told folks in Texas to stay home if they can too.
Listen, this storm is dangerous.
So if you can stay home, don't go out on the roads.
Don't risk the ice.
I was speaking this weekend with a meteorologist expert who was saying the combination of these
two storms, we could see up to 100 people lose their lives this week in Texas.
So don't risk it.
Keep your family safe and just stay home and hug your kids.
In the words of Ted Cruz, hypocrites, complete and utter hypocrites.
Ted, that, if you can, must have applied to you and your family as well, because clearly your mixy ass couldn't.
And let's not talk about all the times Ted Cruz attacked President Barack Obama for playing golf and pool and other things.
OK, Ted Cruz attacked Barack for attending a fundraiser during a crisis at the border in Texas and said the president spent too much time on the golf course.
Listen, the cynicism of President Obama seems to know no bounds.
He is in Texas tonight. He's going to two major fundraisers where he wants to be with wealthy Democratic donors.
But apparently he doesn't have time to actually go and see the border.
He doesn't have time to go see the children who are suffering because of his failed policies.
Earlier, he was playing pool.
Apparently playing a game of pool is a higher priority for this president.
You know, if only the terrorist attacked a golf course,
that might actually get the White House's attention.
Holy cow, this is serious.
Dear Ted Cruz, practice what you preach or change your speech. That might actually get the White House's attention. Holy cow, this is serious.
Dear Ted Cruz, practice what you preach or change your speech.
In fact, I have a better one.
Since you don't practice what you preach, give up your seat.
I said, since you don't practice what you preach, give up your seat.
Resign from the Senate immediately.
You're not fit to lead.
You don't care about the people you're supposed to be governing. Your lips and your life is preaching two different messages, okay?
See, Ralph Waldo Emerson has this quote I love. And the quote is
what you do speak so loud that I cannot hear what you say. Those statements you gave after coming
back from Cancun, they fell all the way on deaf ears because the only thing that saddens you about
this situation is that you got caught. I guarantee you that you feel worse about what's happening to
you right now than you do about what's happening to the citizens of Texas impacted by this
snowstorm. Do you know yesterday the Miami Herald named Ted Cruz the worst Cuban American in
Congress? I'm not making this up. Google it. The Miami Herald yesterday labeled him the worst
Cuban American in Congress because of the fact that he left millions of his constituents who
are suffering through this devastating winter storm, that he left them while there was massive
power outages and people without basic needs like electricity and water. It's 10 Cuban Americans in
Congress. I think it's about 10. It's about 10 Cuban
Americans in Congress, and they label Ted
Cruz the worst one. Ted Cruz,
you let
Pitbull down!
Please let Rami Ma give Ted Cruz
the biggest hee-haw. Hee-haw!
Hee-haw! You stupid
mother******, you dumb.
Meanwhile, you see what true leaders
are doing, like my man Trader Truth and Mr. Rogers and Relief Gang.
They on the ground providing aid.
You see what true leaders are doing.
Like Beyonce, you see what she's doing, using her corporate ties to make sure Texas get relief.
Let's talk about AOC.
AOC raised $1 million for Texas relief in four hours.
AOC.
Drop one of Clues' bombs for all the real leaders, okay,
in our culture and in our community.
Absolutely.
Ted Cruz, as I said, since you don't practice what you preach,
give up your seat.
Resign from the Senate immediately.
You're not free to leave.
Absolutely.
All right.
Well, thank you for that donk here today.
And shout the trade of truth for mr rogers again i mean every time something happens in texas and houston
they are there they are first in the scene rescuing people supplying food i remember um
two years ago we uh we got a big tractor trailer 18 wheeler and we packed it up with clothes food
water all types of donations and we sent it down there. They were kind of mad at us,
Charlemagne. I don't know if you remember, because you came actually.
Because we didn't put the clothes
and water and supplies and stuff neatly.
We kind of just threw it in the truck.
Remember? When you gave me all those
Timbs? I'm not,
listen, I'm not good at stuff like that.
That's what I told him. My wife, I'm not an
organizer. My wife is a good organizer. I am
not the one. So they said when the truck got there, they opened it and everything just kind of just fell out. I wife, I'm not an organizer. My wife is a good organizer. I am not the one.
So they said when the truck got there, they opened it and everything just kind of just fell out.
I said, well, it made it easy.
Hey, man.
Hey, man.
Hey, man.
Sorry, man.
It's the thought that counts, man.
My heart was pure.
I'm actually about to donate.
I'm donating some money to Relief Gang today, matter of fact.
So salute to Trey Bann and my man, Mr. Rogers.
Yeah, shout out to them. I appreciate it.
Now, when we come back
today is the one year anniversary of pop smokes passing all right pop smoke of course passed away
a year ago today and this morning we're going to talk to his mom audrey jackson and brooklyn
borough president eric adams will be joining in as well so don't move it's the breakfast club good
morning the breakfast club
you're checking out the world's most dangerous morning show The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.
You're checking out the world's most dangerous morning show.
Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We have some special guests on the line this morning.
Of course, Eric Adams, who's been on the show last week, running for mayor of New York City.
Our Brooklyn Borough President currently.
And also we have Audrey Jackson on the line. Good morning.
Good morning. How are you?
We're doing well. Audrey Jackson is
Pop Smoke's mom. Welcome
to the show. Thank you so much.
Audrey, how are you? Good seeing you.
I'm well. Good to see you as well.
Now, I want to thank you for joining the show
this morning. I know you want to honor your son
and this is with an anti-gun violence message.
And February 19th?
Yes.
Is that correct?
Is the date that your son was unfortunately killed.
So can we discuss this initiative that you guys are doing?
Well, I was really just really deeply moved. We did a video together and I spoke with Audrey and her husband, Pop Smoke's dad.
And I walked away from there just really saying that this story must be told.
Sometimes when we look at those who are in the record industry, we do not know the depth of the families who are involved.
Audrey is an educator, an amazing educator. Her husband is in the financial industry.
And Brother Pop Smoke had an amazing foundation that we saw in his creativity. He didn't just
come out and all of a sudden decided he wanted to rap. He was deeply rooted in strong faith, a strong understanding of the English language,
knowing how to put together the lyrics, and he brought his own flavor to it.
You know, this is a story that people really need to hear,
that this brother was taken from us at an early age because of gun violence. And we are losing too many pop smokes all over our country
that could have a significant impact on the direction of who and what we are.
Miss Jax, I was going to ask, you know, with your son's success,
let's talk about that moment because his record gets played everywhere, every day.
I mean, you see his videos.
You got a movie coming out. He has a movie coming out. His record gets played everywhere, every day. I mean, you see his videos. You hear his name.
He's got a movie coming out.
He has a movie coming out.
How does that feel?
Because I know you want to be happy, so it's almost like a bittersweet.
It is.
It's very painful.
And, you know, I get the language where people think this is entertainment for me, but it's not.
He should be here with you this morning.
You know, this is what we're looking forward to.
It's these moments that, as you said, they've been sweet.
Here's a breakfast club. You guys, he listened to you all every day.
He sat in the kitchen at the table, played you all.
This should have been his moment.
Everything I'm doing to promote and expand his legacy.
It looks from the outside looking in.
She's on stage, but every moment of that is painful
because there's a way that in planning it,
there's a secret place inside of me that says
at the end of the day, when this event happens,
he's going to be there.
And then at the end of it, I'm trying to check in with myself.
Why are you feeling so bad?
The thing went well.
And then I realized I was expecting him to show up. And I'm still in that place.
And I know he had started the foundation, like Eric Adams said, the Shoot for the Stars foundation,
even prior to that, because he was so interested in giving back to his community. So
is that foundation you guys are still operating what's happening with that we're we're we're
going full force ahead um the commemoration on the 20th is kind of our coming out um where we're
getting just the community to come together to talk about um social justice and social justice
movement and how his music impacted that and so then we're going to just go forward from there
it's providing other things for
the community, you know, basketball events and things such as that. We're looking at technology,
not just technology. I'm giving you a set of computers for your classroom, but giving our
young people access to technology, how to use it in various kinds of media.
You know, Ms. Jackson, I know healing is hard,
and this is something that I'll probably never truly heal.
So when you constantly hear his music being played everywhere,
does that help or hurt with your healing?
It hurts, and I'm going to tell you guys, I don't.
Unless I have to, I can't listen.
I mean, even in my car,
I turn on news. I can't, any kind of music, because that was our connection. It sounds kind
of iconic, but we danced together. We sing together. We were just kind of, our relationship
was around music in our household, right? So music is hard for me to hear, but I try to listen to,
you know, when something really is being
played and it's popular and people are saying to me you know mom this is really jumping off I try
to listen to it there's some things you know because I recognize who he is to his peers and
I'm a teacher you know I try to to use things so I don't play it but maybe I'll use the words to
teach because then the words are there and I'm not hearing him.
So it is difficult.
It really is painful.
And it's not getting easier.
It really is kind of getting harder, but harder in a different way.
So there is shift, and I'm grateful for the shifts.
But this is not easy.
It really isn't.
And I didn't expect it because I've lost other people in my life,
people who are very close to me, and it's just not the same.
And I don't have any words for it.
Oh, yeah, that's a sign.
I mean, you carried him.
You carried him for nine months.
You delivered that young man.
You know, that's a total different level of attachment.
All right, we have more with Audrey Jackson and Eric and eric adams when we come back it's
the breakfast club let's get into a pop smoke mini mix it's the breakfast club good morning
morning everybody it's dj envy angela yee charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club
that was a pop smoke mini mix now today marks the one year anniversary of his passing so today we
have audrey jackson his mom and, and Eric Adams on the phone.
Have we heard any updates with anything that's going on with LA? Are they being open? Are they
giving you updates? Do we know what's going on with the gentlemen? The charges? The charges and
all that? They're working on it. They're looking at, because two of them are minors, one in
particular, I think is the 14-year-old.
They're looking at how the charges get played out.
Like the 14-year-old is a minor, so that works a particular way.
They're trying to see if the 17-year-old can be charged as an adult.
And of course, the 40-year-old gentleman definitely is being charged as an adult.
There's some issues with some restrictions now on how they can present the case. They're working on those types of things, but they're very good with kind of calling me and letting
me know what's going on. They keep me in loop. And if ever I just need to ask a question or to
talk to somebody, they take my calls. As black people, we're so quick to forgive
all the time when it comes to everything in life, no matter what it is, how do you feel about those? Because you said a 14 year old and a 17 year old,
what are your feelings towards them? Have you got there yet? Or no, not at all.
For me, it's, it's, it's neither place. I mean, they've done something and there should be some
sort of repercussion for what they've done, you know, but my brain goes to the households that have been disturbed, right?
Mine has been damaged.
But their moms and dads, too, have had some stuff.
So it's not about forgiveness, per se,
but just kind of understanding.
But I really try not to operate out of a place
of negativity or anger,
because it doesn't serve any purpose.
How's your family holding up, Mrs. Jackson?
It's hard.
His brother, you know, his brother's whole thing is like,
he feels like a part of him is missing.
He'll stay in his room because he knows his brother's not outside
in any of the other rooms in the house.
Dad is waiting for his phone calls.
You know, there are things that he did
with each one of us
that the other one wasn't necessarily aware of.
So everybody is missing their moments.
We're a normal family,
and, you know, things happen,
sibling rivalry.
You know, he was a teenager.
He was supposed to be trying
to separate himself from us
because he was trying to become, right,
as all children do.
But he had his individual relationships with each one of
us that we all miss miss jackson were you were you always supportive of his music or were you
skeptical at first no he was excited you know he would come and he would um i just had a vision of
him i'm going up the stairs and he's like nah nah listen to this listen to this he starts singing
especially the one that's out now,
which you know about, Love?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
He was, you know, because he was trying to change his flavor.
So I would just stand and listen.
I was excited for him, and I was excited with him.
You know, when I listen to the words, I'm like, ooh, ooh, okay, okay, okay.
It's okay.
It's all right.
But no, I was excited for him because he was excited.
How do you think Pop Smoke would have responded to this level of fame and success?
You know what? He was humbled by it.
He really was.
He was humbled by it.
I remember him talking to us about the kind of love
that he felt from the audience or his fans
when he was performing.
And I'm feeling that.
Like I inherited that, that's his legacy to me.
His fans are really special group of people.
They're the way that they're grieving his loss
as if they have lost a family member.
And 50 Cent put really executive produced that last album.
Is there more music that
you guys have in the stash
too? Girl, I'm not sure
that's there yet.
If there is,
I'm hoping that we can
put something out, but I'm really not sure.
I just want to tell you,
Ms. Jackson, I know it's coming up on a year since
Pop Smoke was taken from us, so I just want to tell you miss jackson i know you it's coming up on a year since pop smoke you know was taken from us so i just want to send you healing energy and i just want to send you love
and light and you know constant condolences to you and your family absolutely and how can we
support the foundation for for people listening where can they go to support www.shaketheroom.org, right? That's the point right now for the event that's coming up on Saturday.
But beyond that, it's just shootforthestars.org as well.
And so we'll have information out there as to events and things that we're providing for the community.
You know, I'm working on something to kind of gather mothers together. Because part of what happens is that, you know, that sister, that 14-year-old who's just kind of gotten off track,
there was some support that she needed.
As mothers, we need support.
And it's not always there, right?
So it's about figuring out how to create that moment and create that space,
as well as for creating sacred
space for the young people to come and have a conversation and that's what we're hoping that
saturday will be the beginning of well thank you so much for checking in again and just one last
thing have you been in communication with the mother of the 14 year old no i have not i have
not i'm not sure i'm ready for that conversation uh but there's no animosity because as a mom, I get it.
You don't send your worst out there. You send your
best. You send your best.
Every time your child leaves your house, you are
sending your best. And sometimes
things happen. Things happen
that are out of all our control.
You're welcome. Have a great day.
Thank you so much, Jackson. We appreciate you
and send you love. Absolutely. Okay, thank you.
I appreciate it.
The Breakfast Club.
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.
So Jamie Foxx has a new Netflix sitcom.
It's called Dad, Stop Embarrassing Me.
And it's going to feature multiple characters in the same vein as In Living Color. And they said, we didn't want him to play himself.
And what's more embarrassing than your dad doing makeup all the time?
So it says, Brian really wants to understand Sasha so badly and be there for her.
And maybe he goes to extreme lengths to do so.
So Jamie Foxx is playing Brian, the owner of a cosmetic company and father
to Sasha that's played by actress
Kyla Jue Simmons. His daughter, in real life,
Corinne Foxx, will actually executive produce
the project. She didn't want to be in it. She
wanted to be behind the scenes.
That sounds interesting. I'll definitely give that a go.
I mean, you got to support
Jamie Foxx in anything that he does, simply
because Jamie Foxx is one of the most talented people
that we've ever seen
at least in my lifetime
so you know I'm a definitely need that watch
it is based on a relationship with his
oldest daughter Corinne Foxx and we all
know as daughters that our dads do
embarrass us all the time my dad is one of the
most embarrassing people I know so
I live for it
I've been threatening my daughter
ever since Zoom started. Whenever she
be on Zoom, I'll be like, I'm going to run in there and I'm just
going to start dancing. I'm going to act like Nuck if your
buck is playing and she know what that mean.
Well, yeah.
And Embi, I know you're embarrassing to your daughter.
So I understand that feeling because my dad
is extremely embarrassing also. I used to be like,
Dad, drop me off like two blocks away from school.
I don't want nobody to see you. I don't want nobody to see the
car. My son does that.
And he wouldn't.
He would still pull up in front.
All right.
My son also calls me a Charlemagne Suss, though, too.
How about, though?
Your son does that, and you driving Phantoms and Wraiths and all kind of other stuff,
and he want to be dropped off two blocks away?
Yeah, because that's because he says that me and you are sus.
And he says that the kids always talk about how suspect me and you are.
It's the Beijing, bro.
No, it's you with the ass.
No, no, no, no.
It's the beard.
It's me with the ass.
Thank you for noticing.
See, he's stupid.
I've been doing squats.
Thank you for noticing.
Shut up, man.
Shut up.
I want to be referred to as you with the ass from now on.
From you.
From you.
Shut up.
Thank you.
All right.

And Kim Kardashian gave Tristan Thompson some advice on how to get back together with Khloe Kardashian
because a lot of embarrassing things happened publicly with their relationship. Here's what she told him.
Some days are good and some days, you know, she gets a little frustrated about, you know,
what's going on with the media. I don't even think it's to her anymore about like getting
over the past like things that you guys have been through. I think it's just mostly what other
people are going to think. Yeah, I don't even, I think she's totally fine. Otherwise she wouldn't be hanging out with you 24 seven.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I mean, honestly, I just think that you should talk to her.
Tell her like, you don't want to rush her process.
But if you were to just like explain to her
that you don't want to be this like kept secret
because she is so embarrassed, like that makes you sad.
All right.
Well, yeah, we'll'll see hopefully he doesn't embarrass
her anymore and that is your rumor report all right thank you miss ye now um revolt we'll see
you guys on monday everybody else the people's choice mixes up next you know we throw back on
friday so let's go it's the breakfast club good morning morning everybody it's dj envy angela ye
charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club now it's black Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club.
Now it's Black History Month.
What are we doing today?
Listen, today we are going to honor the great Tamika Mallory.
Tamika is an American activist, a woman who is always on the front lines fighting for us.
She is always speaking out for us. In fact, yesterday I saw her tweet, Biden won't cancel student debt up to $50,000,
knowing it could dramatically lift many black, brown and working class people.
The administration got more money for policing. Perhaps the cancel student debt and defund police folks should get together and push back against this nonsense.
Drop on the clues box with Tamika Mallory, man. Just another example. It's another example of Tamika always being on the front lines, pushing for us.
This is her all the time on and off air, on and off social media, in front of the cameras, not in front of the camera.
She's always pushing for us. And last year she gave a speech when she was down in Minnesota on the front lines fighting for justice for George Floyd.
And it was a speech that Good Morning America and many others called the speech of a generation. Let's listen. The Breakfast Club presents a new Black History
Month legend. We are in a state of emergency and we are not responsible for the mental illness
that has been inflicted upon our people by the American government, institutions,
and those people who are in positions of power.
Arrest the cops. Charge the cops.
Do what you say this country is supposed to be about, the land of the free for all.
It has not been free for black people, and we are tired.
Don't talk to us about looting.
Y'all are the looters.
America has looted black
people. America looted the Native Americans when they first came here. So looting is what you do.
We learned it from you. We learned violence from you. So if you want us to do better,
then damn it, you do better. Courtesy of The Breakfast Club. Man. Tamika's a true leader.
And if you feel inspired by her,
if you feel empowered by her, if you learn
from her, then you definitely
want to pre-order her upcoming book,
State of Emergency, How to Win
in the Country We Built. It's out
May 11th, but you can pre-order now
wherever you buy books.
State of Emergency, How to Win
in the Country We Built is Tamka Mallory's upcoming book.
It's out May 11th,
but you can pre-order
wherever you buy books now.
Tameka Mallory, thank you
truly for your service.
Absolutely.
All right.

So we'll be talking about some of the ups and downs.
20 years.
Everything that we went through.
We had 20 years married.
That's a big deal.
It doesn't even seem like that long, which is the best thing about it.
It still seems like it was two, three years, which is great.
I bet for her it does.
I'm sure it does.
That's why you need to stop putting that Beijing in your bed, bro.
When you've been married for 20 years and you got five kids,
there's no need to keep putting Beijing in your bed.
We know you.
He is probably like, this feel like 50 years.

What?
All right.
Well, you got a positive note?
By the way, Khaled needs it, bro.
Khaled look 100 years old when
he don't have Beijing yeah why'd you just start naming everybody and it's just to make me think
of Chris Rock when he's like man people say life is short no it's not life is long
the guy is probably like man this marriage is long all right well you got a positive note
yes the positive note is coming from Carol Mosley Braun. You know, Carol Mosley Braun is a politician and lawyer.
And I love this quote from her.
She says, defining myself as opposed to being defined by others is one of the most difficult challenges I face.
