You are out of control. I can't even deal with seat. Y'all are wild. Y'all are wild. Can I live? You are out of control. I can't even deal with you. Y'all are so petty. Why are y'all so petty? The world's most dangerous morning show. DJ Envy. Captain of this bitch.

Angela Yee. I stay in everybody's business, but in a good way. Charlamagne Tha God. The ruler of rubbing you the wrong way. The Breakfast Club. Made for everybody. Good morning, USA! Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo.

Good morning, Angela Yee. Good morning, DJ Envy. Charlamagne is running late. Guess what day it is. Guess what day it is. Guess what day it is. Late day? Late day? I'm upset. I'm depressed.

I'm upset. I'm sorry. I got to take it. Oh, I know why you're upset. You ever break up with somebody? You and Odell broke up? You ever break up with somebody? They don't call and tell you what's going on?

You just find out through somebody else? Somebody that I've been seeing. By the way, that's a terrible breakup if you find out that you broke up through somebody else. That's right. I've been seeing this individual for the last, what, three years? Three years. I've been investing.

I've been putting money into the situation. He was tricking. And then Odell just leaves. No call. No one just leaves. No call. No one last dance. No nothing. Last dance? I was taking my little nappy pool, like I always do around that time.

I don't know. This is a weird way that you're doing this. My son runs in the room, and he's depressed. He kicks open the door and says, Dad, you're not going to guess what happened. I'm like, what? What happened? Is everybody all right? Is the house okay? He goes, they traded him. They got rid of him. I'm like, what happened? Is everybody all right? Is the house okay?

He goes, they traded him. They got rid of him. I'm like, who did they get rid of? Odell. That sucks. I don't know why. I haven't figured out how. It just doesn't make sense to me.

I guess this is how it feels when you get broken up on and you're just stuck at home and you're trying to figure out why and how. Was it me? Maybe it's your jaw wasn't good enough. Was it me? It wasn't strong enough. Was it us? Like, we gave him the ball.

Alright, let's move on. Didn't we? We didn't give him the ball all the time. Maybe that was the problem. Maybe you needed to give him the ball more. I don't know. But Odell just, if you don't know, if you just woke up, Odell was traded to the Cleveland Browns. That sucks. Well, that's good. They're stacking their team up.

Yes, their team is looking. I just repeated that. Someone else said that. You sure did. I know there's a lot of Giant fans out there that feel like me. There's still a lot of Giant fans out there? Yes, there's still a lot of Giant fans. First you take away Victor Cruz, my Latino from Patterson, and now you take away Odell.

All right, all right. Well, you guys got somebody, right? Oh, you're going to play emotional? Carl Thomas? That's what you're going to do? Fine. You got somebody, didn't you? Yeah, we got Jabril Peppers.

Okay, that's good. That's good. Mm-hmm. But he's not Odell. All right. What's so funny? What you mean, what's so funny? What's so funny? What you mean, what's so funny?

What's so funny? You laughing, Kiki. Life is good. I'm laughing at, um, um, what the hell? I can't remember

the name right now. You just laughed two seconds ago as you were walking in and don't remember why. I can't have a brain, I'm having a brain fart. Oh my God.

He walked in here giggling. Giggling, hee hee hee. What you laughing at? Like the little Pillsbury Doughboy. Why can't I laugh? All right. All right. Oh, and shout out He walked in here giggling. Giggling. Hee, hee, hee. What you laughing at? Like the little Pillsbury Doughboy. Why can't I laugh? All right.

All right. Oh, and shout out, by the way, I went to go see Meek Mill in concert last night. Oh, how was that? Meek Mill last night? Yes, I went to go see his concert. Shout out to my girl, Cash Doll. She was opening up for Meek Mill. Yes.

And you know, today is 3-1-3 day in Detroit as well, March 13th, 3-1-3 day. So shout out to everybody in the D. What day is it in Cleveland? Shut up. Some new D in Cleveland. Okay, all right. Hey, ladies. Some new D out there in Cleveland.

F, he's upset. He feels like Odell broke up with him but didn't tell him. Don't worry, Tony. He just leaves. You think he should have gave you a heads up? I understand how a girl feels when somebody just leaves and doesn't say anything and then you find out through somebody else. They have been talking about it for at least a day, though.

I didn't think it was true. Because he even had a little list of places he wanted to go. He wanted to go to the Rams, San Francisco. Doesn't his best friend play for the Browns? Who? I don't know. Yes, it does. I don't know.

Odell's best friend does play for the Browns. I heard someone else say that this morning and I repeated that as well. He does. All right. Well, let's get the show cracking. Front page news, what are we talking about? Oh, my God. What is going on?

Is it that important to get your kids into a college that you have to pay up to half a million dollars? Finally, white celebrities are acting up. Yes! Got some scamming going on. All right, we'll talk about it 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. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club. All right, let's get in some front page news. Now, Odell Beckham Jr. has been traded to the Cleveland Browns. We need you to sound a little more upbeat. Yes, be happy for Cleveland. Drop one of the clues bombs for Cleveland.

They got a great receiver. I don't understand why. It's hump day. I don't understand. Was it us? He didn't get the ball enough? I don't know what it was. Too much pelvic thrust in the locker room without saying pause.

That's why they got rid of Odell Beckham. They got rid of Odell, which is crazy. What else are we talking about here? We're going to be hanging out with his best friend Jarvis Landry, so I'm sure he's going to have a good time. Who told you that? Oh, it's nothing for him to do, but actually focus on football in Cleveland. The funniest thing is that he had some places where he wanted to go,

which was San Francisco and the Rams, and they were like, no, sir, buddy. Okay? Why wouldn't they want him? Who? Odell. Probably had to give up too much. Odell, you know, he's not the young wide receiver that he used to be, contrary to popular belief.

He still gets busy. Yeah, he probably got about another two, three years. All right, well, let's talk about this entire cheating, bribing, lying scam for these kids to get into college. These kids with rich parents. I love it. White scammers. So it was different ways that it worked. All right. There was the ACTs and the SATs. They would bribe different people who are facilitating those exams and also take those exams for some of these students.

And that costs anywhere between $15,000 and $75,000 per test. Also, bribing coaches. Because college coaches, they don't decide who gets accepted, but they do recommend to the admissions office certain athletes that they want to accept to the school. So he would bribe some of those people. And in exchange, they would recommend to admissions officials that certain students be accepted. Now, what they are saying for a lot of people, like for Lori Loughlin, she played Aunt Becky on Full House. Rebecca Katsopoulos.

I think that's how you pronounce her last name. They said her and her husband, who is fashion designer Mossimo. Jesse? No, in real life. Oh. Okay. They faced charges of conspiracy to commit mail fraud and honest services mail fraud. They allegedly agreed to pay bribes that totaled $500,000.

That was in exchange for having their two daughters as recruits to the University of Southern California on their crew team, even though both of them don't even row. So they would do this whole scheme, and they would disguise these bribe payments like they were donating to charity. So Felicity Heffman was also arrested and Lori Loughlin's supposed to surrender today. I don't know why you would arrest the parents. Maybe you should arrest the person accepting the bribe. No. No. Well, they knew exactly what they were doing.

They're paying money to make sure that their kids get into these schools that they didn't even get into. To great schools, to get a great education. And to make sure that they get these scores on their tests. So Felicity Huffman knew she was a target of the federal investigation, but seven feds did show up to her door with guns drawn. She didn't anticipate that that would happen. Isn't it strange that you're arrested for this?

So she's married to William H. Macy, and they said their two daughters were asleep when the agents ordered her to get out of the house. With all the crime going on in the U.S.? Hey, shut up and let the white people get arrested. She got a 1420 on her SATs thanks to someone else taking her SATs for her. Exactly, that's a scam.

The person who's at the center of all this is William Rick Singer. William Rick Singer is the person who is the figure at the center of the whole entire scheme. He was the one doing all the bribes. He was the one that had the fake charity that people were donating to. Listen, do the work like everybody else.

Listen, you already got, you know, a bunch of, you know, help anyway. You're white, you're rich, you're entitled, you're privileged, you know what I mean? I mean, if you can afford to pay $500,000 to bribe a coach for your kids to get into school, they already have a foot up. Like, you'll be fine.

That's a lot. I mean, I was thinking maybe $10,000 to get them in school, but $500,000? They don't need school. How about making your kids work for what they're supposed to get? That's all. Do the work. 2019 is a trip, bro. Nigerians doing hate crimes against black people and white people is scamming.

Now let me ask you a question. What a role reversal. If you wanted your kid to go to a certain school and it might cost you a couple thousand dollars, would you pay? Not a half a million. I didn't say half a million. That's how much it is. But I don't know that you, would you pay somebody to take their SATs for them? No.

That doesn't feel wrong to you? No, because guess what? You can't do that throughout life. Throughout life, you can't just continue to cheat your system and rig the system. Because once you do it once, then eventually you got to keep doing it over and over and over again. You never cheated on a test before? No. I graduated from night school. My parents didn't before? No. I graduated from night school.

My parents didn't help me cheat. I graduated from night school in 1998. That's the farthest my education goes. No, I have not cheated on a test. You never cheated on a test in elementary or even freshman year in high school? Never? Never one time you ever looked at your person in front of you and you test and cheat for what?

There's a difference between cheating and paying someone to take the actual test for you. It's all cheating. No, there's a difference between cheating and paying someone to take the actual test for you. It's all cheating. No, there's a huge difference between that. And then also pretending that you're on the rowing team and you're not. You said what? And then pretending that your kids are on the crew team and they don't even know how to row. I'm going to be honest with you.

Envy. It all caught up. If you cheated your way through school, this explains a lot. Because you're the same guy who thought that Atlantic City was built off the Monopoly game. I didn't say that. That's exactly what you said. I didn't say that. Play the tape.

I didn't say that. Somebody pull up the tape. I said I was asking a question. And he also said a lot of people thought that. Yeah, he did. I did. A lot of people hit me on this. I showed you guys.

I didn't see that. All the people you used to cheat with in school? Maybe. I never cheated. All right. Well, that is. You're a liar. You never cheated. Front page news. I don't even believe that. I have. I didn't see that. All the people you used to cheat with in school? Maybe. I never cheated. All right, well, that is... You're a liar. You never cheated. Front page news.

I don't even believe that. I have. I have cheated in school. So why did you just lie to us? Everybody has cheated in school. So why did you just lie? Because I cheated. Again.

All right. Get it off your chest. That's why Odell left. 800-585-105. Odell got all D's in school. If you need to vent this hit us up right now. If you need to get some things off your chest, again, 805-85-105-1. Hit us up right now.

Start your own country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. Start your own country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There are 55 gallons of water, 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 Capraburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. Why can't I trade my country? My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory.

I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead. Oh my God. What is that? Bullets. Bullet holes. We need help! We need help! We still have the off-road portion to go.

Hey, Ken. Hey, what's up, Envy? What's up, Ken? Get it off your chest, bro. Oh, man, I'm mad at you, boy. Why are you mad at me, Ken? What do you do? Man, how could you agree that these people getting paid or paying their kids through college is cool? At the end of the day, these kids that become professionals

are the people who are going to be therapists to your kids, therapists and doctors to your kids. You think that's cool? I didn't say it's cool. And just because they pay to get into the school doesn't mean that they don't get the education that when they go to college. Yeah, they're not doing the work.

No, they gotta go to school. I thought they was paying. Let me ask you a question. Have you ever cheated before? No, you're not listening to what he's saying, though. They're not doing the work. They're saying they're getting paid to go to the college. That's why they're getting paid to get accepted

to the college. No, also to take the test. To take the test. There's two different ones. You're not listening. You're not listening. They are getting paid to get accepted to the school. Envy. Charlamagne, get them.

You don't know what you're talking about. There's definitely a problem with it. Splashy shots that on Twitter basketball players have people take SATs all the time.

They're basketball players. They're not going into the world to do real jobs. We don't know if some of them are going to do it. They're going to play ball. That's the whole thing. That's why basketball players

do African-American studies. I was listening to something yesterday and it was like, yo, these players, they go to school for like three months. When you're a freshman and a basketball player like Zion Williamson, he might be in class for three months. Once the season's over, he's coasting. I'm sure they definitely have somebody taking this class, and maybe. Probably. Because that's what usually players do.

They just get somebody to get them grades just to be able to play ball. That's it. And when the season's over, it's a wrap. But it's not like he's going to be a goddamn psychologist. We don't know what these kids are going to do. We know what Zion Williamson's going to do. They just get somebody to get them grades just to be able to play ball. That's it. And when the season's over, it's a wrap. But it's not like he's going to be a goddamn psychologist. We don't know what these kids are going to do. We know what Zion Williamson's going to do. Yeah, I know that, too. I know that.

But we don't know what these other kids are going to do, honestly. Well, I know they didn't deserve to be on the crew team. I'm just happy white celebrities are getting arrested by the FBI. Okay, I knew it. Right in time for St. Patrick's Day. At the end of the day, it is illegal, so it is what it is. They got caught. Hello, who's this? This is Heather. Patrick's Day. At the end of the day, it is illegal, so it is what it is. It got caught. Hello, who's this?

This is Heather. Hello, Heather. Hey. So the reason I'm calling, well, first of all, I listen to you guys every morning on my way to work. Thank you, Heather. And I hate going to work. Damn. But, you know, it's what you got to do.

So you guys definitely keep it interesting. But I'm calling because I heard that there's some white folks out there that being shady and paying people for college. Yes, they are. Look, I'm a white family. I definitely, I understand and I believe and I get white privilege without a doubt. However, there are some of us white people out here that are struggling. And my daughter comes home every day. She's applied to eight colleges and made it to each one. And I ain't paid nobody.

Hard work and dedication. That's dope. Yeah. You know, so like, what are they trying to do out there? Like, get their kids, get their kids in college, get their kids ahead of everybody else. They should have made it so they got them some tutors and paid for that. Yeah, you know. Yeah, if you can afford that.

Now what's that say about them? That says that, wow, either I'm trying to really get my kids somewhere or I'm really trying to pay because they're stupid. I mean, the problem with this more so than anything is that these colleges have a certain amount of scholarships and things that they give out. Scholarships. Scholarships and things that they give out every year. So if you're cheating the ACT and the SAT, you might be jumping kids ahead of kids that are really out there doing the work.

And by the way, if you have $500,000 to spend on that, you have money to make sure your kids have tutors and can learn that. They have all kinds of things to teach you how to take the SATs right. And you should really just do, like, pay for that for your kids. That is true, but there's a lot of kids. Teach your kids hard work

instead of saying, well, just pay your way in. That is true. That is true, but there's a lot of kids that just don't take tests well or very smart, have straight A's

or very bright. Get them a nice tutor to help them. And just don't take tests well and sometimes that test, they put too much pressure on that test and the kid doesn't do well

on the test, he doesn't get accepted to a school. Well, then you have to go to a different school and not your first choice. I mean, that's, he doesn't get accepted to a school. Well, then you have to go to a different school and not your first choice. I mean, that's it. You can also go to a school

and transfer to the school that was your first choice if you do well after the first, second year. That's right. Or if you got money, you give a teacher $10,000 and put the kid in.

Anyway, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. All right.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to rumors. Let's talk Jose Canseco. She's spilling the tea. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, we'll start with the back story.

Jose Canseco has accused Alex Rodriguez of cheating on Jennifer Lopez. Now, this all started because A-Rod proposed to J-Lo. They announced their engagement. He posted, she said yes. He also said, there aren't many words to share with you, only feelings, gratitude, excitement, and just joy. We know there is work to do to keep building a family and future we can be proud of. And we can't do it without all of you.

We are so thankful for all of your messages of love and congratulations. Well, things took a left turn when Jose Canseco took to his Twitter page to accuse A-Rod of cheating on J-Lo with his ex-wife, Jessica Canseco. He said, watching World of Dance, watching J-Lo text Alex Rodriguez, little does she know that he's cheating on her with my ex-wife, Jessica. Poor girl. She has no idea who he really is. Hate. And then he told A-Rod to stop being a piece of ish.

Stop cheating on J-Lo. Well, now Jessica Canseco is coming out to set the record straight. Now she had to re-download the Twitter app and all of that. And she just wanted to make sure she told people what was going on. She said those false accusations Jose is making are not true. I have known Alex for many years and haven't even seen him for over five. I certainly did not sleep with him. I am friendly with both him and Jennifer. As for Jose, he can keep playing with his alien friends.

In fact, I don't even get on Twitter. Had to download the app again and don't watch TV and had no idea any of this was going on. Last time I saw Alex, he was with Tori and I brought my boyfriend over for dinner. We are just friends, my God.

How do publicists still make a living nowadays when you can just download a Twitter app when you want to make a statement? Well, there you have it. Who are these aliens

that Jose Canseco's playing with? Why, you want to go play too? Yes. Is that what you want to do? Y'all just skim past that part of the story. You might be playing with aliens right now.

Aliens Jose Canseco just be out here playing with. He's had some interactions with aliens. That's what I want to know. Like, huh? What do you mean aliens? Now, so that's the most important part of the story to you? That's what I got from it. All right, Raz B, he is quitting the Millennium Tour.

Now, you know him from B2K. And they've been on the road like four days so far. And he's already announced that he quit already. Out of there. Now, there's a good reason for it. If you guys remember, he has accused Chris Stokes, who's the former B2K manager, of molesting him. And he said it began when he was around 11 or 12 years old. Well, guess what just happened?

Chris Stokes came to the... Check it out. Chris Stokes tried to grab them cheeks again, allegedly. Razzby is officially off the tour. I don't feel safe because I feel like Chris Stokes came to the... Check it out. Chris Stokes tried to grab them cheeks again, allegedly? Razzby is officially off the tour. I don't feel safe because I feel like Chris Stokes is around. So guess what? I'm off the tour. Amari, if you come talk to me, you want me to do this tour, I'll do this tour.

But I'm officially off the tour. Oh, and guess what? I guess we're about to shoot the new surviving Chris Stokes movie. So, yo, Ricky Rowe, call Lifetime because I'm ready to talk. I would think that they would have worked all of that out before they even started doing the tour again. Maybe he didn't think Chris Stokes was going to be part of it and now you see him popping up and he's getting flashbacks.

Yeah, I guess he just popped up on the tour and he feels like he shouldn't be there. Chris Stokes popping up like, allow me to reintroduce myself. You know what I'm saying? Let's do it like we used to. Get on your knees like you used to. I wonder if any other members had the same thing with Chris Stokes, the same situation.

You don't remember those stories? All of them? Nobody else came out? Do you want to hear? Yes. Razzby's brother, Ricardo Thornton, also says that Chris Stokes sexually abused him. He said he made me take showers with the other boys. He said all that little ish that my brother was introduced to, that was brought to me first, and I blocked it.

I wasn't with it. I backed off. I kind of knew what was going on over there, and yet I took my brother over to Chris. I wasn't with it. I backed off. I kind of knew what was going on over there and yet I took my brother over to Chris. I didn't protect him like I should have. So that happened.

But, you know. Yeah, I remember the story. Omarion issued a statement where he denied Rasby's allegations and said that Chris Stokes was a father figure to him. I remember the story.

Rasby was like, they all used to get in a circle and masturbate each other or something like that. Well, that's just called a circle jerk. Oh, yeah. That's what he said. That's just called a circle and masturbate each other or something like that? Well, that's just called a circle jerk. That's just called a circle.

First of all, you can't say that. Yes, you can. No, you cannot. Why not? I don't know, but they dumped it. It's a circle full of jerks. Why can't you say that? But I can understand why Rasby would leave the tour. I would quit too if I was him. It's team building. What?

We stand up in a circle and... It's team building. That is not team building. All right, guys. Have you done that before? I'm just curious. No, but we could in here. No.

Who was it that just came out and told the story about how they used to do that? That just recently happened. People standing in circles and masturbating? Throw that in a circle. All right. I'm Angela Yee, and that's your Rumor Report. It always gets awkward around 6.50. So no more Razz Beyond the Millennium Tour. All right. I'm Angela Yee, and that's your rumor report. It always gets awkward around 6.50.

So no more Razz Beyond the Millennium Tour. For right now. He quit. And Chris Stokes should leave so that he can come back and be on the tour without him around. That's it. Period. He's going to be a surviving Chris Stokes, like you said. All right.

I'm Angela Yee, and that's your rumor report. All right. Now we got front page news. Next, what are we talking about? We are going to talk about these schools and the bribes that were given to these schools by these celebrity parents that wanted to make sure their kids got into the college of their choice. White celebrities acting up just in time for St. Patrick's Day, baby. All right, we'll get into that next.

Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get into some front page news. What are we talking about Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. What are we talking about, Yee?

All right, well, let's start off with, if you guys know the story about a nine-year-old, her body was found in a duffel bag east of Los Angeles. Well, they did arrest somebody in connection with that. Emil Lamar Hunt, he was charged yesterday in the death of Trinity Love Jones. Rest in peace to her. And again, our condolences to the family. Yes, they found her in a light brush area and they believe

that he killed her on or around March 1st. Now, who is Hunt? He is reportedly the boyfriend of Trinity's mother. They don't know what his motive was, but his bail has been set at $2 million and his arraignment is going to be April 16th. He's got a public defender as well.

While he was in court, Trinity's father, Antonio Jones, stood up and yelled at him, you killed my daughter. And they said throughout the hearing, the father was crying, of course, and clenching his fist. And Trinity's grandmother, Barbara Jones, said that she felt like a monster. She said, I wanted to do to him what he did to her, or what it's alleged that he did to her. Yeah, I mean, but you know what?

Sometimes I feel like we should get real medieval and like forget wasting taxpayers' dollars. Just let him be in a room handcuffed with the father and a couple other members of the family and let them do what they do. Let it be a purge of sorts. He should die. Authorities have also arrested a second person, and we don't have any information from them about that yet. But if he's convicted of murder, he'll face up to life in prison. I think that's too good for him. I think that's too good for him.

I think life in prison is too good for a sick piece of scum like that. Yeah, disgusting. I guess he should go through the—he has to go through the court system to find out if he's guilty or not. But if he's found guilty, he should— Do you need due process in every situation? You know, along with this story. If there's a videotape, no. In California, the governor, Gavin Newsom, is actually granting a temporary reprieve for 737 inmates who are waiting on the largest death row right now. So they're saying this is very symbolic because death penalty opponents are hoping that this will mean that they'll end executions in other states as well,

as they're trying to say we shouldn't have the death penalty. But I don't know, in a case like this. He should die. Kill him. He shouldn't have to go to jail and he's living off of our taxes for the rest of, no, he should die. Get medieval on his ass. Kill a little young girl. Peel his toenails off.

I'm with you. All right, now let's discuss this college admission scheme that everyone's been talking about. It got revealed yesterday. It's the largest of its kind ever prosecuted. There's about 50 different defendants across six different states. Millions of dollars involved in this. And some very high selective

universities. So, the way they used to do this scheme is they would have somebody take these standardized tests for these students. In general, it was a man by the name of Mark Riddle who's charged with two conspiracy counts. He would secretly take the test in the place of the students and replace their responses with his own. They also would do things like bribe people who decide which students get admitted. And those people include coaches and things like that at these different universities. Now, Felicity Huffman was arrested by FBI agents.

They actually came to her house guns drawn. She knew she was the target of the federal investigation into bribery and the college admissions process. But she didn't know all that was going to happen. She was indicted for conspiracy to commit mail fraud and honest services mail fraud. She made a charitable contribution of $15,000. And that was for a college entrance exam cheating scheme on behalf of her oldest daughter. She got a 1420. Well, I needed some diversity in my celebrity dysfunction, and I knew that when St. Patrick's Day, which is fast approaching, was about to come around, white celebrities would start acting up.

So I'm happy that the crime rate is spiking in white celebrity communities. Now, as part of this scheme, parents would pay a singer in between $15,000 and $75,000 per test, so anywhere between that. So, looks like this is going to be crazy for them. Some people were paying up to $500,000 to get their kids into top schools.

White people out here scamming. And her husband, in particular, their daughter actually cashed in. And she has 1.3 million followers on Instagram and almost 2 million on YouTube. After she got to USC last year, she was posting about officially becoming a college student and everything. She don't even want to be in college. Didn't she post a video saying that she just wanted to go to school for parties? She just wanted the experience of partying.

So that's what she went there for. Your mom out here taking penitentiary chances for you. You know what I'm saying? She after that had to post an apology video, but people are all in her comments right now saying things like, how about you put some effort into using your brain instead? Maybe that way you could get into USC by your own merit. So people are disgusted by her.

I can't believe white people out here just scamming. I am disgusted. Now you disgusted. Pale face pieces are hitting out here in these streets. My goodness. All right, well, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your Front Page News. All right, let's open up the phone lines. Uh-oh.

Yes, what do we think about this? 800-585-1051. I'm asking a question. I have thoughts. Would you pay to get your child into a school? Now, I want you to think about it like this. Your child is trying to get into a school, Harvard, Princeton, NYU, Columbia, and they said, okay, if you give us, the admissions person said,

give me $100 and I'll get you a child in school. Would you pay that $100? $100? You've been DJing too long. Let's just say, if you, I'm just asking, if somebody said in admissions, hey, I'll give you, give me $100 and I'll make sure your kid gets accepted to all those schools, would you pay that $100? And the reason I say that is, yes,

$500,000 is a lot of money to all of us. But to them, that might just be $100. That might be a drop in the bucket. $500,000 is still a lot. That might be a drop in the bucket to how much they're actually making. No, maybe not to them. Maybe not to them. So let's open up the phone lines. It's 800-585-1051.

Would you pay to get your child into a school? Alright, call us up right now. In the way that these white celebrities did, Mr. Suede and Jerry. Would you pay for your child in the way that these white celebrities did? Would you bribe people? Would you be part of this bribery

scandal? You can't look at the $500,000. No, no, no. Look at the situation. Would you bribe people? Not just say here's $100, I'm making a donation, no. Look at the situation. Would you bribe people? Not just say, here's $100. I'm making a donation. It's part of a bribery scheme. Would you give somebody

$100 to guarantee your child gets into school? No, that's not what happened. That's the same thing. No, no, no. Okay, would you give somebody $100 to take your child's SAT test? Exactly.

The ACTs. Or would you give $100 to a coach that could pretend that your child is part of the crew team and even though that child doesn't row to make sure they got

into college. Not just give $100. You always want to make what white people are doing seem innocent and playful and nice. It's more than just giving $100. This is bribery. Why is everything black and white? It has nothing to do with black or white. This is fraud. The question is, would you pay for your child to get in the school? It has nothing to do with black and white.

Why do you want to make white people seem innocent? It has nothing to do with black and white people. This is fraud. This is scamming. It has nothing to do with black life. Why do you want to make white people seem innocent? It has nothing to do with black and white people. That's exactly what you're doing. This is fraud. This is scamming. This is bribery. It's disgusting. It's very different than when you pay somebody

to take your child's test and your child doesn't take the SAT. It's very different than just paying $100. Would you pay $100 for somebody to take your child's test and knowing that you would get

a high-ass grade to get your child in school? It's the same thing. Call us up. Let's talk about it. Good morning, guys. The Breakfast Club. Is your country falling apart?

Feeling tired? Depressed? A little bit revolutionary? Consider this. Start your own country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of, like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy.

There's 55 gallons of water 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 tried my country. My forefathers did that themselves.

What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory. I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead. Oh my God. What is that? Bullets. Bullets. We need help!

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. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your

podcasts. Lori Loughlin's going to turn herself in today. Aunt Becky from Full House. More than 50 people involved in this fraud scheme. They were paying for people to take their child's SAT or ACT test and also bribing coaches to get their child into schools of their choice. All right, so we're asking 805-85-1051. Would you pay to get your child into a school? Would you bribe a coach or have somebody take your child's test to get them in school? Yes, that is the question. You guys said absolutely positively that.

I definitely wouldn't. Imagine telling your child they don't have to take this test. I'm going to pay somebody to have them take it for you. What are you teaching them? Fraud. Scamming. I know you're not on the row team. We're going to take two people's potential slots that could have gotten a scholarship to get into this school

or could have gotten this slot and we're going to have you pretend that you row and that's how I'm going to get you into school. What is that teaching your kid about life? That's my whole thing. You can't tell these kids in the hood and poor and disenfranchised areas that all they got to do is work hard and get an education when it's the kids with wealth and privilege getting these opportunities

simply because their parents are paying for them to get in instead of putting in the actual work. I didn't go to college, so correct me if I'm wrong. You just said it. There's a certain amount of people accepted into these schools every year, right? There's a big acceptance rate, and that's big when kids are applying for schools. So these schools are 7% acceptance rate,

some schools are 50%, some schools are 60%. Yeah, for schools that are the elite top schools, like the ones that they're paying to get into, those are the hardest schools to get into, so it might be a way, it might be, yeah, a 5% acceptance rate. So now you're taking somebody's spot. So these privileged, entitled kids are taking opportunities away from people who are really putting in the work. So how do you teach kids from the hood and porn disenfranchised areas how to get ahead when the system is already rigged?

And guess what? These kids will be able to go to some school. They might not go to their first choice, but that's why you apply to several schools. And whichever one you get into is the one, you know, those are the ones you have to choose. And also, fun fact, real quick, children in the top 1% of earnings are already 77 times more likely to go to an Ivy League college than those whose parents are in the bottom 20%. So how much more help do these kids in the 1% need? See, I look at it in two different ways, right?

I look at it, there's a lot of kids out there that are brilliant, very, very good in school, straight A's, do what they're supposed to do. They do their community service, but can't take a test. They get nervous when taking a test. They have anxiety when taking a test and have poor grades when it comes to tests. That's why they have coaches to teach you how to take the test properly. And they do all these practice tests.

And you can take them more than once. Even with coaches doing the test, some kids just can't, don't take well tests. And if I had the opportunity to make sure, if my daughter was smart enough to go to that school, if she had the community service, sure if my daughter was smart enough to go to that school if she had the community service but maybe just couldn't take tests and I could pay something a hundred dollars or even a thousand dollars

to guarantee her to get into school and I know she's smart enough would I pay that? But FYI I think I would. You getting into a college is not only dependent on a test.

That's not the only thing. They take other things into consideration. You have to write essays. She has good grades. She could write a good essay but those SATs have a lot to do with it. If other things into consideration. You have to write essays. She has good grades. She can write a good essay, but those SATs have a lot to do with it. If it didn't, you wouldn't have to take it.

They have a lot to do with it. So, if that was the case, and I could pay to make sure my daughter is able to get into school, would I pay? Especially if it's something light, $100, $1,000 to me, I would. Why are you saying it's not $100,000? I know, but I'm just saying compare it to what I can afford.

$500,000 is a lot of money. Yeah, but that person that you're talking about is worth $50 million. $20 million. And her husband, $25 million. Do you really think it would just stop at that one payment? You think you're just going to pay this ACT, SAT, the kid's going to get into college, and then all of a sudden the kid's going to start working hard and actually studying. Don't you think these professors are going to continue to push these kids through?

Well, let's go to the phone. And you know what's embarrassing? Now everybody knows. So now you go to these schools and everybody knows your parents paid for you to get in. Oh, trust me, they can.

Now you forced to really work. Like, remember the movie Can't Buy Me Love? Uh-huh. When they were paying to do the homework. Darryl! Good morning!

Hey, good morning, Darryl. Envy, I just have a question for you, right? Yes, sir. If your child, little Madison or Logie, they got a letter saying that they were going to get accepted to a program and the program was going to help them with their work and stuff like that, and then another kid pays to fuck your kid out the program, wouldn't you be upset?

I would be upset if my kids didn't make it to any school, so I would be upset regardless. But that's life. I know what life is. I know what it is. I know rich people who have more than me and have better connections than me

are going to be over my child. I know exactly what that is. That's why I'm trying to create wealth and trying to make sure my community can create wealth so they can have that same foot in the door.

But don't you want to instill in your kids to be... Go ahead. I'm just saying, so how do you teach these kids in the hood how to get ahead if the system is already rigged? The system is going to always be rigged for the wealth, the rich and privileged to stay on top. So basically you're saying there's no way for kids in the hood to get ahead. No, I mean, the system has always been rigged for us. But what

do we have to do? And what do we always say? Ownership and money is power. And we have to have ownership to make sure we can control where we go and control our destinies. How do we get to that though? We gotta start investing. But don't you also want to teach your kids to work hard to get what it is that they're gonna get? My kids work hard. They do work hard.

But what I'm saying is, instead of telling them look, don't worry about it. I'm gonna just pay and get you is instead of telling them, look, don't worry about it. I'm going to just pay and get you in. I would never tell my kids, don't worry about it. I'm going to pay to get in. But if I could. That's what you're just saying. I'm not going to tell them. How are they going to not know that someone else is taking their test?

How are you going to not tell them someone else is taking your SAT? You're showing us that you cheated your way through high school and college with this one. My parents didn't have no money to pay for my test. I had to take my test. How can they not know? They're going to know. They're going to know that they got recruited

to be on the crew team when they don't even row. Jamie. Yes. Good morning, Jamie. Good morning. Would you pay to get your child through school?

Definitely. Why? Because if you pay, you're guaranteed that the child will get a full ride to whatever university they want to go to.

It's not a full ride. It's just to get accepted. But you're paying for the child will get a full ride to whatever university they want to go to. It's not a full ride. It's just to get accepted. But you're paying for an SAT score, correct? Yes, you're paying for an SAT score. And I'm sure even with the lady that paid the crew, the road team, she's going to get a full ride. You make it a full ride. So why wouldn't you pay?

The SAT score doesn't guarantee you a full ride. But it's not about a full ride. It's just getting accepted, not a full ride. It's just to get accepted. I want to break this down in a way that people understand. Definitely, regardless, because like she said, it's the college experience and whatever college you want to go to. And people don't get accepted to their dream college.

So why wouldn't you guarantee that for your child? Yeah, but what happens once the person is in school? It's like if you take steroids to get into the league. You think you're going to stop taking steroids once you're in the league? No. You still want to compete? Let me break it down like this, right? You go to a club.

The line is down the block. The bouncer says, give me $100, you cut the line. You going to give me $100? Yeah, but guess what? What happens when you get in the club and you ain't got no money? Now what you going to do in the club? Just stand there looking like a goddamn dumbass. Can't buy no drinks.

Can't do nothing. Like a big dumbass waiting for somebody else to come and say, here's some more money. Nobody's going to jail for getting into a club. I'm in, huh? I'm in. I'm in. I'm in.

Would you pay to get your job into a school? Call us now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you just join us, Angela Yee reported this story about some celebrities getting arrested or about to get arrested.

For what, Yee? Well, Felicity Huffman has been arrested and already posted bail. And that was by the FBI for these fraud charges of actually bribing schools to get their kids into these top schools and also for paying someone to take their kids SAT and ACT tests. So the question is, would you pay to get your child into a school? 800-585-1051. Hello, who's this? Chris.

Hey, Chris, would you pay for your child to get into a school? I sure would. Why? The reason being because you already paid tuition. Why not? That's a good reason. If I know my child's going to take advantage of the opportunity, I might as well do it.

How do you feel your child's going to take advantage of the opportunity when you've already told your child all you've got to do is pay your way to get through things? What makes you think that your child's going to get in and actually start doing the work? The circumstances that we live under, you know? You just never know. You've got to do what you've got to do. No, you know, you just never know. You gotta do what you

gotta do. No, you don't. Thank you, man. You gotta instill work ethic in your children, like, especially black and brown kids. Like, we have to actually go out here and work three, four times harder than all of these entitled, privileged white people. Hello, who's this? This is Callie. Hey, Callie, would you pay for your child to go to school? Absolutely not. I would not. Why not? Well, the reason being is because I feel like if my child can't make it there on their own merit, then they don't need to be at that school. And I mean that in the most respectful way. But once

you get your child into the school, let's say if they get into Princeton or Yale because you pay for them, how are they going to be able to maintain their grades if they don't have the mental capacity to be able to be in the school? That's all I'm saying. And you can even see, you know, with Lori Loughlin's daughter, she didn't even want to be in school. She was posting YouTube videos about how she

just wanted to party. Alexis. Hey. Alexis, turn on the Breakfast Club. How you doing? How you doing? Now, would you pay for your child to go to school? Um, a hundred dollars, possibly yes, but because I'm black, maybe no. But $15,000 to $500,000, that's more than somebody's salary

and it has to be counted for. If black moms could go to jail for their kids going to school in a different address, they need to go to jail. I just want everybody to think about... That is true, too. Now you heard what she just said. Yeah, that's all fraud. A lot of people change their address so their kid could get

in a better school. What's the difference? The kid is actually going to a better school to do work, to actually put in work. They're actually going there to study. But there might be some kids that can't get into that school, but now because you use a different address, that kid goes to that school. What's the difference? There is no difference. It's still fraud. And if you get caught, guess what happens?

Your kid's not in that school anymore, and you get in trouble. But it's just no money involved, but it's the same thing. If I could change my address for my kids to go to a different school, I'm going to do it. There's no way you can justify to me paying somebody to take your kids' test and paying to get them in. I just don't think that's cool. I understand what you're trying to say, but it's a false equivalency.

And the reason it's a false equivalency is because these kids that changed their address actually go to these better schools and put in work. These kids in these colleges are getting paid to get in these colleges, and now they're just sitting there looking like a dumb a** in the club with no money. We don't know if they're doing work or not. I know they're not. You know what? Because the little girl said on the video, I just want to go to school to party.

That's one person. Her phone was spending a half a million. And the example that you just used, Envy, is because we have such a broken system that a lot of these kids aren't able to go to public schools in a neighborhood that they feel like is beneficial to them. So they're trying to go to a better school. That's what that's for. This isn't about being privileged. This is about not having the privilege to be able to go to a better school.

The question is, would you pay for your child to get into school? And if it wasn't a lot, and I could, I would. And if the system is set up this way, it don't matter how much education you get. It don't matter how much, you know, how much. It don't matter about anything if the system is set up like this because the system is rigged. That means that the rich and entitled will always be ahead of the poor and disenfranchised because the poor and disenfranchised can never get a leg up regardless. But that's how it is now.

That's what the world is now. But we have to be able to teach our community to be able to become richer and to own it so we can get out of that slum and get out of that area. Yeah, we don't need to condone this

and act like it's cool. I'm not saying condone. I'm not saying condone. I'm just saying... What we need to do is what's happening right now. Arrest the people that are committing these crimes.

Okay, that's how you fix the system. All right? Okay? Let people know this is a crime. This cannot happen. That's how you make things fair and even. Well, what's the moral of the story, sir? The moral of the story is exactly what I just said.

Go to jail. You know what I'm saying? Like, cut the line if you want to spend that $100 to get in the club. You're going to be in the club broke with no money watching everybody else ball. Now, the question is, do these kids get kicked out of these schools now? Absolutely. They have to. Well, that backfired then out of these schools now? Absolutely. They have to. Well, that backfired then. I mean,

they got caught. They have to. They shouldn't have gotten caught. When we come back, we will talk about the rumors. We got rumors on the way. What are we talking about, Yee? Yes, let's talk about police called to R. Kelly's home again, found out what they were told was going to happen. Alright, we'll get into that when we come back. Keep it locked. This is The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Ah, boy. Good morning. Good morning, Ah, boy. Good morning.

Good morning, everybody. It's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Drunk in love still go hard. Sleuth everybody out there still trying to surfboard in little ass tubs. Surfboard. I'm still a little hurt, guys. Why are you hurt?

Should have used lube. What happened? My guy. Oh, yeah, you definitely should have used lube. Oh, great segue. Come on. Who? What happened? My guy. Your guy left you? definitely should have used Lou. Oh, great segue. Come on. Who? What happened? My guy.

Your guy left you? He left us. Oh, what's his name? You know his name. Tell me. I don't want to say his name. Let it roll off your tongue real quick. Say it.

I don't want to say his name. Say his name. I'm just trying to. Say his name. You ain't really your man if you can't say his name. What did we do wrong? Like, for him just to leave and not call. I don't even know who you're talking about.

I'm not even talking to you until you say his name. Odell. Huh? You heard me. I would love for him just to leave and i don't even know what you're talking about i'm not even talking until you say his name odell huh you heard me i would love for him to come wow i mean the fact that like what do we do wrong they just leave us and you call him oh i thought you used to call him obj she used to call him he used to be like oh bj nobody ever called him nobody called him i mean i i know how sometimes people feel when, you know. I heard he left because Charlamagne kept making fun of him. Never made fun of him. If that's the case, I'm never talking to Charlamagne again.

You ruined our relationship. That's going to be hard during the show. I think Odell's going to have a ball in Cleveland. Yeah, he's going to be there with his best friend. He's going to have a good time. I know Cleveland sounds bad, but I think last year they won, like, what, seven games or something like that? Yeah. More than the Giants. But I'm just, like, what did we last year they won, like, what, seven games or something like that? Yeah. More than the Giants.

But I'm just, like, what did we do wrong? Plus, they're stacking their team. Did we not give them the ball enough? Like, what did we do wrong? I heard. Just leave and not call and not say anything. I heard he really wanted to be traded to the Rams because the Rams have the first two male cheerleaders in the NFL, and

he was trying to get the Giants to recruit male cheerleaders, and he wanted to do it. And they was like, Odell, you can't be a cheerleader and a football player at the same time. How's that going to work? And so that's where the problems came in. He's just making up a story. That's where the problems came into play from what I was told. Like, this hurts. Like, the fact

that, like, it hurts. That's not right. Like, we just gave him all that millions of dollars, and he's just going to leave us like this? You're out of here. Well, hopefully he wins a ring. Well, say goodbye to old BJ. All right?

Old BJ. Oh, my goodness. Old BJ is no longer around. All right. Yeah, we got rumors on the way. I hate this guy. Got to find you a new BJ. Stop it. Because old BJ is gone. Yes, we are rumors on the way. I hate this guy. Gotta find you a new BJ. Stop it.

Because old BJ is gone. Yes, we are going to talk about a documentary that is going to be coming out. It's premiering at the Tribeca Film Festival. And it's actually on somebody that I used to work for. Okay. All right, we'll get into that next. Keep it locked.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Money. Morning, everybody. It's DJ, MD. Spend that money. Get the kids into college. Charlamagne Tha Guy.

We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk R. Kelly. Listen up. It's just in. All the gossip. The Rumor Report. With Angela Yee. It's The Rumor Report. The Breakfast Club.

Well, Lisa Van Allen did an interview with DJ Vlad. Now, Lisa Van Allen is one of the women that R. Kelly used to have a relationship with. And she was also on Surviving R. Kelly. And here is the claims that she makes about Aaliyah and Aaliyah's mother. Her mother actually was sexually attracted to him as well. And he said when Aaliyah would go to sleep. Now, this is what he said. He would go in the living room and him and her would do sexual acts on the couch while Aaliyah was sleeping in the bedroom.

Oh, so maybe this is why Aaliyah's parents have never spoken out themselves. Makes sense to me. Why? Why is that story being shared? I don't know. What does that story have to do with anything that Lisa Van Allen is talking about? Like, what? Tell me.

Tell me what was the point of sharing that story. I have no idea. Just stay in the press. I mean, that didn't make no sense to talk about that. Come on, stop. Not at all. Let's everybody stick to the matter at hand. The matter at hand is you was being abused sexually by a man for years.

Talk about that. Now, somebody in Chicago called 911, and that person called 911 making claims that there was about to be a mass suicide at R. Kelly's house in Chicago at the Trump Tower. And here's what happened. And I also need a supervisor, I guess, for threatening suicide. Trump Tower, a call is coming in from the National Traffic Hotline. We got an anonymous call from a... says that Arzell, clearly, and four other women who are victims of R. Kelly

are planning to carry out a suicide pact. Now, was that a fake call? It was a fake call. It turns out that call was from the National Human Trafficking Hotline, by the way, just so you know. And police did show up there, but they said that call was bogus. They said R. Kelly had been meeting with his attorneys for at least two hours before the cops even showed up. What were they trying to accomplish by having him run up in the house? They're probably just harassing him now and just seeing him.

Hoping that they find something, maybe something else. Maybe they're hoping to see something crazy going on with the girls and then he'll get in trouble for that. Who knows? Guys, R. Kelly's going to prison. All right, there's no way around this situation. Not this time. All right, now here's something that you might be excited about.

Nelly and Chili, they were talking on BuzzFeed, and they made an announcement about a joint tour that's going to be happening. Tickets for that tour go on sale this Friday. Now, here's what was said. We're here together because we are going on tour together this summer. Yeah. Yeah, you heard that. TLC, Nelly.

We're looking very much forward to it, man. You know, we had a pleasure of working together before on a separate tour, but it wasn't ours. So we decided since we had so much fun on that one, we decided that we would come together and do our own thing. Nelly, TLC, and Flo Rida. Yeah. I was about to say, they didn't announce Flo Rida? Yeah, they did. Flo Rida's on there.

Yeah, Nelly's dope. I was on tour with Nelly. Nelly actually put me on my first tour. Me, Fab, Birdman, and A. Marie, and I was on that tour. So shout out to Nelly. You know why shows like that are dope? Because you don't realize how many hits a guy like Nelly has. Nelly got tons of them.

Until you go to his show, and you're like, oh, shoot, I did like that record. Oh, shoot, I did like that record. Oh, I like that record, too. Drop down and get your eagle on, Shaw. That's what I'm saying. Drop country grandma, hot in here, E.I., E.I. P get your eagle on, Shaw. That's what I'm saying. Drop country grammar, hot in hair, E-I, E-I. Pimp Juice, Air Forces.

Nelly got joints, and you know TLC got joints. And Flo Rida. Flo Rida got joints too. It's not a bad show. It's like a fun, high energy show. Who opens the show? Who closes the show? Flo Rida opens, TLC closes. What does Nelly close? Nelly should be in the middle, I think. TLC should close.

Okay. You know, artists always want to close, but sometimes that's not the best thing to do. I think Nelly, didn't Nelly have more hits than TLC? Yeah, but TLC's classic. Like, TLC should absolutely close. And then women. Let the black women close.

You don't want black women to succeed at all. Don't say that. It's not true. He does. This guy is crazy, man. He wants him to be moderately successful. Exactly. Oh, my goodness.

All I said was I just asked, I said, who had better hits? You want them to open, don't you? I didn't say that. Don't put words in my mouth. Does Tilly still have you blocked, Charlamagne? I have no idea. She should have you blocked. She definitely should have you blocked.

All right. Now, since we're talking about collaborations and we just told you about that tour that was announced, guess what else has been announced? Drake and Future. You excited for What a Time to Be Alive Part 2? Excited isn't a word I would use, but I'll listen to it if it drops. Seems like they're a couple of years too late, right?

No, why you say that? I don't even remember when the last one was. It's four years ago. That was four years ago? Yeah. God damn time to be flying. I went to that tour, was. It was four years ago. That was four years ago? Yeah. God damn time be flying. I went to that tour, actually. Lord have mercy.

Where did I go to it at? The bar at the Garden, I think. And by the way, shout out to Meek Mill. I went to go see his show last night here in New York City. He brought Lil Uzi Vert on stage. He brought Fab out. I saw Casdow perform. I saw Lil Durk perform.

It was packed in there. I think he has another show tonight, right? Yeah, he has another show tonight. Now, they talk about Meek Mill and Nipsey Hussle doing an album together That excites me That'll be dope That'll be amazing too That is something I'm looking forward to hearing

Two tall rappers Alright now let's see if you guys would be interested in seeing this Now this is an artist who by the way I used to work for And he's got a documentary that's premiering at the 2019 Tribeca Film Festival And that is D'Angelo. All right. It's going to talk about him being a songwriter, a multi-instrumentalist, and then all of a sudden, in 2000, he just disappeared from the spotlight.

You guys remember he had the Brown Sugar album. That was amazing. And then it took him quite some time to get everything back together again, and they're going to talk about his haunted past and uncertain future. How did you work for D'Angelo? When I left working with Wu-Tang, the next job I had, I left to go work for D'Angelo. What'd you do? At Virgin Records.

I was the general manager of his label, Chiba Sounds. And how'd you become a teacher? You did all that and then became a teacher? No, when I was in school, I did urban education semester, and so I did a teaching program. So I worked doing English and history. You didn't know what you wanted to do. You was like, I'm going to try everything.

I always wanted to be a writer. So I was an English major in college. But then when I graduated, you know, my first job was working with Wu-Tang. My second job was working for D'Angelo. That was like the worst job of my life. But it wasn't because of him. He was never in the office. It was the people that worked with him.

So you quit. Or did you get fired? It's a longer story. But yes, it was more like getting fired. Really? Yeah, they were sexual. Because you refused to rub oil on D'Angelo during the, how does it feel? D'Angelo never used to come to the office.

It actually had something more to do with a sexual harassment situation. Somebody sexually harassed you? Yes. Somebody made a proposal and said I should have sex with them. And then I actually left the office. And then the next day I got fired. Man, there's somebody out there sweating right now. Please don't say me.

Please don't say me. Don't say my name. Don't say my name. Don't say my name. Don't say my name. Please, please, please, please, please, please. I tell this story all the time, though. Say the name. Just not here.

No. All right. Well, I'm Angela Yee, and that's your rumor report. You learn something new every day. All right. Well, Charlemagne. Yes, sir. Who you giving that dunk?

Man, we need Aunt Becky, and we need Felicity Huffman to come to the front of the congregation. We'd like to have a word with them this morning on this fine Wednesday. Okay. Yes. All right. We'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Tonight on VH1, Black Ink Crew New York returns. Last fall brought Caesars Crew to the height of their careers, but when someone vandalizes the shop, will everything go ink, ink, boom? Don't miss Black Ink Crew New York returning tonight at 9, 8 central on VH1. You get donkey of the day, yeah, you dumbass.

You get donkey of the day, yeah, you dumbass. You are a donkey. It's time for Donkey of the Day. Donkey of the Day, huh? I'm going to fatten all that shit around your eyes. They want this man to throw them blows, man. They wait for Charlamagne to tap them gloves. Let's go.

They had to make a judgment of who was going to be on the Donkey of the Day. They chose you. I got chips. This is a breakfast club, bitches. Who's Donkey of the Day today? Who's Donkey of the Day today? Donkey of the Day for Wednesday, March 13th goes to actress Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin.

Did I pronounce their names right? Loughlin. Loughlin. Commonly known to those of us who grew up on TGIF on ABC is Aunt Becky, okay? Now, listen, I have been calling for diversity amongst my dysfunctional celebrities because when it comes to all the biggest scandals of the year,

black celebrities living and dead have been the trending topics, okay? Jussie Smollett allegedly staged a hate crime. Career pedophile, gotta say allegedly. Robert Sylvester Kelly is out here, well, being R. Kelly. Michael Jackson leaving Neverland Special, got the world trying to convict a corpse. Meanwhile, white celebrities living and dead are just out here chilling. But I knew that eventually white celebrities were going to start getting caught up, okay? You know why?

Because St. Patrick's Day, a.k.a. white people's freaknik, is right around the corner. So I was expecting for the Caucasian celebrity crime rate to spike, and I was right, because Felicity and Lori have been charged with scamming, right? What kind of freaky-ass Friday role reversal world do we live in, where Nigerians are committing hate crimes against black people and white people are scamming. What a time. Well, Felicity was indicted for conspiracy to commit mail fraud

and honest service mail fraud. And Aunt Becky, Lori, is facing the same felony charges, conspiracy to commit mail fraud and honest service mail fraud. Her husband, fashion designer Mossimo, what's his last name? Giuliani? Giuliani? Doesn't matter. His name is Mossimo., fashion designer Mossimo... What's his last name? Giuliani? Doesn't matter. His name is Mossimo. Yes, that Mossimo. If that sounds familiar, it's because you're an avid Target shopper like me, and you know Mossimo

used to make the best t-shirts. They don't have them anymore. It's good fellas now, but he was charged with conspiracy to commit mail fraud and honest service mail fraud too. He's a good fella. I don't know what any of those charges mean, okay? But it's all scamming, all right? Those pale-faced pieces are hitting.

Let's hear the report. We're here today to announce charges in the largest college admissions scam ever prosecuted by the Department of Justice. Involving at least 50 people. Accusing wealthy parents of allegedly cheating so their children would be admitted into prestigious schools. One of the 33 parents named in the indictment, actress Felicity Huffman, best known for her role on Desperate Housewives.

According to the criminal complaint, Huffman and her husband, actor William H. Macy, are accused of making a charitable contribution of $15,000 to the fake charity. Huffman is charged with conspiracy to commit mail fraud. Along with Huffman, actress Lori Loughlin, who played Aunt Becky on Full House, is also charged. Court documents say Loughlin and her fashion designer husband, Massimo Giannulli, allegedly agreed to pay bribes totaling $500,000 in exchange for having their two daughters designated as recruits to the University of Southern California crew team, despite the fact that neither daughter ever participated in the sport of rowing. Their parents have been charged with conspiracy to commit mail fraud and honest services mail fraud. The source was CNN, by the

way, and here's the thing. I know you're probably listening to that and you're like, what's the problem? I know it sounds like, hey, you're doing a great thing because you're going above and beyond for your kids, doing what you have to do to make your kids successful, but you can't tell these kids in the hood and poor and disenfranchised areas that all they have to do is work hard, get an education, and everything will work out when the reality is the kids with wealth and privilege

are getting these opportunities because their parents are paying for them to get in instead of and everything will work out when the reality is the kids with wealth and privilege are getting these opportunities because their parents are paying for them to get in instead of putting in the work. It's a certain amount of people accepted into these schools every year, so these privileged and titled kids are taking opportunities away from kids who are really putting in the work. So how do you teach kids from the hood how to get ahead when the system is rigged? All right, these children in the top 1% of earnings

are already 77 times more likely to go to an Ivy League college than those whose parents are in the bottom 20%. How much more assistance do you need? All right? Okay? Listen to Lori Loughlin, Aunt Becky, speak about her daughter getting accepted.

So many parents watching, I'm sure, are going through this, where they're about to watch a child go off to college. Kath, it happened to you. Are you preparing for it in any way? I think I'm in complete denial. I really am because when I think about it too much, it will make me cry.

So, yeah, I got to stop. Oh, God. That is a prime example of why you can't trust white tears. All right, she knows she's scamming the system, but she's out here fronting, acting like her kid is really out here putting in the work. This is so whack to me because we all know black and brown people have to work twice as hard to get half the results. But what's the point of working hard at all if the system is already rigged

for us to lose? Now you have kids in these point-of-disfranchise areas who would love the opportunity to get in one of these top schools. All they need is the chance. And they will go in there and run circles around these privileged kids because these privileged and titled kids don't want to work. Don't believe me? Listen to Aunt Becky's daughter Olivia talking about

college. But I do want the experience of like game days, partying. I don't really care about school as you guys all know. All she cares about is the party. You know why? Because you gave a good example earlier. You're liking this to paying to cut the line at the club.

Alright? That's what she did. Well you pay to cut the line and then once you get in the club, you have nothing else to offer. You can't buy no drinks, can't order no food, because you don't got no more money. You just sit in the club looking stupid. It will be the same thing in college. You have your parents pay for you to get in, and now what?

If you're not there to do any work, all you can do is party. That's all you got. But here's the thing. Contrary to popular belief, you can't fraud your way through life, and that's what you're teaching your kids, that you can always cheat the thing. Contrary to popular belief, you can't fraud your way through life. And that's what you're teaching your kids, that you can always cheat the system. Hov once said, it's only so long fake thugs can pretend. I say, it's only so

long fake anything can pretend. Eventually your kids will get exposed. So you're really not doing your kids any favors, because where does it stop? You pay for your kids to pass the ACTs, the SATs, pay for them to be accepted into school. At what point do they ever start doing any work for themselves? You going to hold their hand forever?

This is exactly why Kids from the Hood runs circles around these privileged kids because Kids from the Hood actually do the work. When you grow up with nothing and you work to get a little something, you never lose that hustler's mentality. But when you grow up not having to work for anything, not only do you not appreciate anything, you really don't know how to do nothing because you're used to Mommy and Daddy paying for anything. Not only do you not appreciate anything, you really don't know how to do nothing because you're used to mommy and daddy paying for everything. I don't care how rich, privileged,

or entitled you are. If you're not instilling in your kids work ethic and an attitude of gratitude, you're setting them up for failure. You can only control two things, your work ethic and your attitude about anything. What Lori and Felicity are doing isn't instilling any work ethic in their kids, and it's damn sure not instilling any attitude of gratitude. So you're hurting more than helping. I have no problem with people getting opportunities. I have no problem with people pulling

extra strings to get someone an opportunity but not at the expense of some kid who's actually going to put in the work. I will ask the question again. How do you teach kids from the hood to get ahead if the system is rigged? Only way to do it is punish the people who are taking advantage of said system. Please let Kathy Griffin handle my white work.

Please give this giant jar of mayo the biggest, hee-haw. Hee-haw. Hee-haw. There you go. All that talking mayonnaise leaves me parched. It's like I get dehydrated. It's a salty taste. Does Massimo still own Goodfellas, the t-shirts?

I really don't know. I buy Goodfellas, but they don't have the same quality as Mossimo. For whatever reason. I learned it was Massimo from this report just now. Really? Yeah. That's what I learned. I didn't go to college.

I graduated from night school. Let me look it up. Massimo Goodfellas. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey today. Yes. Up next, ask Yee. 800-585-1051.

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.

I listen to you guys every morning. Thank you, Carmel. We're excited to talk to you. Aw, okay.

So recently my fiance left me. It's been a week, almost two weeks now. And it's tough because we've been together for over four years. We actually have a business together. The business is doing amazing. And everyone knows us for our business and things like that. We recently had a disagreement about some of his actions. And he kind of

did like a reverse psychology and said it was my fault. But I caught him in a compromising situation. And now he's like being very disrespectful during our breakup. He doesn't want to talk about it. He doesn't want to talk about it he doesn't want to own up to his actions he's like uh he uh he apologized and so it should be done with but i'm

like this is not the first time or second or third like this is something that is a serious problem for me and if we're gonna get married like i need you to own up to it you can't just apologize right now you have to do a little bit more just to show me that this is what it's supposed to be. But he got mad at me for calling him out, and I was very harsh with how the argument went, and it kind of just went left and center. So what is it that he did? Was it him, like...

He had a situationship via text message with another woman. Mm-hmm. But he changed the name in his phone from a female's name to a guy's name. Oh, this chick in the book. All of that. He didn't actually physically meet up with her, but he did text her and had conversations with her. And this is not the first time that he's done it.

But this time it was a little bit more serious because personally we're going through a lot stress-wise with our business, with our living situation where we're handling so much right now. And the fact that he can find time to text and communicate with another woman while we got all these problems and stuff that we're trying to fix and we're building, I just felt very, very disrespected. I didn't kick him out. He just was like, well, if you don't want to do this, and if I say I want to leave right now, are you, you know, what you're going to do? I'm like, well, if you want to leave,

then I don't want to keep you. Right, at all. That's the case, you know? So he packed his stuff and he left. So what's the decision that you have to make? Because it feels like he's made it for you. You know what? Yeah.

Yeah. And to me, You guys are engaged right Yes I don't think that you should even be contemplating getting married When you have all these unresolved issues Things that he can't even own up to Like you said And it seems like he has this repeat behavior

That he's been doing I understand that people make mistakes But a mistake is supposed to be something that you learn from And don't do again right It seems like he's not learning from those mistakes And not only that that people make mistakes, but a mistake is supposed to be something that you learn from and don't do again, right? Right. It seems like he's not learning from those mistakes. And not only that,

he's blaming you for them. And then... Yeah, he said, I'm not giving him the encouragement or attention that he needs. And if he feels like he's getting it

from another woman, then it should be okay because he's not physically involved with them. Now, are you okay with that? Absolutely. Okay. If I was getting attention from another man, it would not be the same case.

He would not go for that. What I'm saying here is this. A, he's already left, so he's made that decision for you. And honestly, that might be the best decision that he could have made for you because he's already showing you who he is. And thank God you guys aren't married already. Right now at a time when he should be talking to you and he should be apologetic for the things that he did

and he should be trying to right his wrongs, he's not even there. You're right. So it sounds like, you know, you're going to have to figure out how to move forward with your life and getting the business together because I know it is hard

when you're in business with somebody and then you're in a relationship, but how practical can you be? Either that means that you guys are going to have to figure out how to function together as partners in this business

or somebody's going to have to exit the business and you're going to have to figure out how to do that legally and make sure that you get what you're supposed to get or he's going to have to leave.

But you guys have to get those things settled and maybe it's not something that you do personally with each other, but you let a mediator come in and handle that. Okay. That sounds like the best advice that I've gotten so far in regards to the

situation. But handle your business and value yourself. Like, it's not your fault that he's been doing these things, and it's not your fault that he's not the man that he's supposed to be. You can't do anything about that. He can't even do anything about that because guess what? When it came down to it, he got caught. He left. You're right. And it's like he's

trying to test you, trying to see if you're going to be like no, wait, come back. I'm sorry. You can't do that. You can't lower yourself. That's exactly what he's wanting from me, but I haven't done that. Yeah, don't let that psychology work on you, but good luck. Get your business right first and foremost.

Take care of you. He's taking care of him. He's not even thinking about mentally taking care of you when things get tough. Instead, he's off dealing with other women and only worried about himself. Very selfish. Thank you, Yee. I needed that. I needed that harsh, that truth.

Thank you. Okay. And good luck with your business. Thank you so much. All right. Ask Yee. 800-585-1051 if you need relationship advice. Hit Yee now. 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 in the middle of Ask Yee. Hello. Who's this? Hey, it's Anonymous.

Hey, Anonymous. What's your question for Yee? So I keep getting in, like, the same situation and relationships with guys. Like, they don't seem to take me serious. What do you mean by take you seriously? Like, they don't want to be in a relationship with you? Yeah, basically that. Okay.

Who are these guys that you're talking to? Where are you meeting them? What type of guys do you like? Because you might be attracting what you like, which might not be people who are serious. That's true. Like, I meet some, like, which might not be people who are serious. That's true. Like, I meet some, like, I met some guys in college. Just here and there. Like, when I go to the store or something and I get to know them.

And if I like them, like, they don't want to take me serious sometimes. But it's like the ones that I don't like as much. Like, they, like, hit me up all the time. Like, you playing and all this. Like, basically, it's like I'm the one in that situation like, I don't want to be with you. How old are you? I'm 26.

What you need to do is declutter your life. It sounds like there's a lot of useless guys, guys that you don't like that you're entertaining a little bit, speaking to them. There's these guys that's not doing no work to try to be with you that you still entertain. Just declutter all of those people out of your life

that aren't doing anything for you. First and foremost, like just cut it off. If it doesn't make sense, if it's not somebody you want to pursue something with, there's no point in you even still entertaining that. And if these people aren't, and if the guys that aren't treating you the way you want to be treated,

then stop messing with them too. Just start all over. Sometimes I think we don't have ourselves clear for the right thing to come in because there's so much blockage going on and we're spending too much time on things that don't mean anything to us. You're right.

I just don't know what I'm doing wrong is the thing. And let me tell you this, instead of going into situations with these guys thinking about whether or not this could be someone you're going to pursue a relationship with, go into these situations where you meet people and y'all are just friends and then see where it goes from there. So you're not putting all this pressure on yourself or on that other person.

Take your time. Okay, because I don't mention anything about a relationship at first. It's just when it doesn't go anywhere, I'm like, okay, so where is this going? And they're honest with you. They're like, I don't want to be in a relationship right now. When I hear that, I'm just thinking like, oh, you don't want to be with me, so I just leave it alone. Well, at least they're being honest with you. You can't fault anybody for that.

But once they tell you that, you should know. And I think sometimes we're attracted to guys that are really fun, that are out there. And we also like the challenge of trying to see if we can tame somebody. And what you need is somebody that is showing you that reciprocal type of feelings that you have for them. Somebody that's making an effort instead of trying to find ourselves in the middle of a challenge where we're like, okay, let me see if I'm going to make him do this. Let me see if he calls me that. And they're calling you late at night and you're letting them come over and do whatever they want.

You have to take charge of yourself. Yeah, that's how I used to be. Yeah, take charge of yourself. Don't let's how I used to be. Yeah, take charge of yourself. Don't let people do that to you anymore. Make people work. Let them know that it's not going to be easy. Like, we could be cool. We could be friends.

You have to take me out. You have to call me during the day. You have to make plans with me in advance. Mm-hmm. All right? But get rid of all that clutter, and good luck to you. But you're only 26 years old.

You should be enjoying life, but don't put too much pressure on yourself. Okay, thank you, Yee. You're welcome, honey. All right, ask Yee. 800-585-1051. If you need relationship advice, you can hit Yee now. Now we got rumors on the way?

Yes, let's talk about YBN. Almighty Jay will give you an update on his recovery. And we'll tell you what happened after Jay Prince basically said that he needs to get that chain back. And he called out the guys that did this to him. All right, we'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Tonight on VH1, Black Ink Crew New York returns. Last fall brought Caesars Crew to the height of their careers. But when someone vandalizes the shop, will everything go ink, ink, boom? Don't miss Black Ink Crew New York returning tonight at 9, 8 central on VH1. The Breakfast Club. All right, morning, everybody.

It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. What's up, fam? Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Almighty J, man. This is the Rumor Report with Angelina Yee.

On The Breakfast Club. So listen up. Well, YBN Almighty J is out of the hospital, but he's still recovering from multiple stab wounds. Terrible. The scar they are going to leave for him across his face and everything. They said he needed all these stitches.

He got sliced and also cut with a Hennessy bottle. For nothing. He was cut very badly. Now, if you guys recall, J Prince is calling on people from the Bronx to basically call out the people who attacked YBN Almighty J. And here is how those people responded.

This in New York. This is in New York. They didn't pay homage, you heard? You gotta check them with the real gangsters. Tell J Prince to suck my d***. Eat it up. J Prince was doing it back in the day. We doing this today, money.

I told y'all yesterday that as soon as I saw the OG post on IG, I said them young boys not gonna care. They gonna be online in 10 to 15 minutes telling J Prince to SMD. That's what they do. yesterday that as soon as I saw the OG post on IG, I said, them young boys not going to care. They're going to be online in 10 to 15 minutes telling J Prince to SMD. That's what they do. Now, at first they said they had nothing to do with this chain snatching, but then Zay put out a music video where he's holding YBN Almighty J's chain in the video and flaunting it and all of that.

So, looks like you kind of incriminated yourself now, right? Okay, now YBN Almighty J in the meantime has a new video out and a song called Let Me Breathe. He shouted out all his family, friends, and fans. He said, they kept me in high spirits while I was down. I love y'all. I want to give a special shout out to Dream Doll, the realest woman I know. Stayed by my side the whole time I needed you, and I'll love you forever and ever. You'll always have a special place in my heart, babe queen.

So here is Let Me Breathe. Just let me breathe. Let me breathe. What would you do if you was me? Don't know what I go through just to get to where I want to be. You don't got to get up high. No, you trying to rob you at the beach. I can't even wear my jewelry if I want to cross the street.

Just let me breathe. Let me breathe. What would you do if you was me? What would you do? What would you do if you had a son at 19? What would you do? What would you do if you always on TMZ? What would you do if you was me? What would you do if you had a son at 19? What would you do if you were always on TMZ? The internet trying to turn me into a beast, just let me breathe. You know, God bless that little brother, YBJ.

YBN Almighty. YBN Almighty. I can't tell the initials apart no more. But you just have to be smarter with how you move. Like, see, you are worth something. You are a person of value. So when you have value, you have to protect said value. That's all. I mean, we all go through it. Everybody

does. It happens to every artist. It happens to everybody. Just, you know, take it as a lesson learned and keep it moving. I done got punched in the head and been running down the street to the York on video. Well, unfortunately, he's got a permanent reminder now on his face because that's going to leave a pretty bad scar. Sadly, it could have been worse. What he's saying is, though, it is a lot.

If you think about everything that he's saying here, people plotting on him, he can't even wear his jewelry, he had a son at 19, he's got a lot that he's battling right now. Get you some real shooters, man. Let him breathe. Get you some real shooters, not your goons. But he thought he had his peoples with him, and they were outnumbered. Go hire

some white men in some suits. He might not be able to afford it. Well, you better stop flossing with all that jewelry and all that designer stuff then and invest in what needs to be invested in, which is security at this point.

All right, and her and 21 Savage are headlining the Roots Picnic in Philly. Now, I was looking at this whole lineup. It looks pretty amazing. Lil Baby's going to be there. Davido's going to be there.

Rafael Sadiq. Queen Naja. The City Girls. This looks amazing. Blue Face. Oh, Ari Lennox is going to be there. Love her. Black Thought, J. Girls. This looks amazing. Blue Face. Oh, Ari Lennox is going to be there. Love her.

Black Thought, Jay Period. Of course, Quest Love and his Supreme podcast. DJ Clark Kent, Stretch Armstrong, Dean Nice, Rich Medina, Tony Touch, DJ Active. So shout out to everybody involved. The Read is going to have their podcast as well as the Joe Button podcast as well. Drop one of Clues Bond for The Read and Joe Button podcast. Oh, Yassine Bey is going to be there. This is going to be amazing.

That's dope. This sounds like a great lineup. So that is Saturday, June 1st. That's the Roots Picnic. Oh, and also let's give a shout out to Andrew Yang. He's one of the nominees, the Democratic nominees running to be president in 2020. He said, holy cow, we did it. We reached

65,000 individual donors more than two months before the May 15th deadline. So congratulations. He is going to make the debate. Yeah, Andrew Yang's interview with the Breakfast Club did real well. I saw it on our YouTube page. It had like a half a million views. They loved it. The Yang gang is really real on social media. Absolutely

positively real. Yeah, they raised over $750,000 so far. So shout out to him in just the last month. So we got to get Marianne Williamson on that debate stage too. She needs like 65,000 of those things as well. Yeah, she'll be joining us this morning after the mix. Yeah, and so that can definitely

happen. He said we were only at 15,000 donors in February. We received 50,000 new donors in a month. And the reason it's good to have all of these different people with all these different ideas on that stage is because they force every other candidate to start focusing on issues that we would want them to focus on that stage is because they force every other candidate to start focusing on issues that we would want them to focus on that they may not

necessarily be talking about. Marianne Williamson is out there speaking very highly about reparations and Andrew Yang is speaking just about how the universal basic income. I think all those conversations are necessary.

Alright, and I also want to shout out to Lupe Fiasco. You know, his daughter was found, but he had posted that she went missing. He said, she's been gone

since yesterday, right after I left for work, but fortunately, she has been found. How old is your daughter? So that's good news. She's 16. Wow.

Okay. All right. God bless him for that. God bless. Glad she got found safe and sound. Well, no, it's actually his little sister. He posted, my daughter's been missing, but I guess it was his little sister. He was reposting what his mother wrote.

That's good news that at least she was found because that's horrifying. All right. Well, I'm Angela Yee, and that's your rumor report. All right. Thank you, Ms. Yee. Up next is the People's Choice Mix. Get your request in. Revolt, we'll see you tomorrow.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Tonight on VH1, Black Ink Crew New York returns. Last fall brought Caesars Crew to the height of their careers, but when someone vandalizes the shop, will everything go ink, ink, boom? Don't miss Black Ink Crew

in New York returning tonight at 9, 8 central on VH1. Morning, everybody. It's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We have a special guest

in the building. Yes, indeed. Marianne Williamson. Welcome. Good morning. Thank you. Good morning. First of all,

I like you already for two reasons. One, you're a cancer like me. Uh-huh. That means you're sensitive and emotional and you feel everything. And then I also like you because you want to give 100 billion dollars in reparations no more than that to black people more than that 200 to 500 is the number that i sort of landed on

oh let's talk about it how do you plan to do that well i i think that we could have a reparations council or board of trustees as it were and the money could be paid out, let's say, 20 years, 30 years, and it would be paid for projects of economic and educational renewal. And strictly to the African descendants of society? Yes, yes, of course. Why do you want to do that for black people? Well, I don't, you know, it's interesting you say that for black people. I think it's for America.

I think that if you look at the historical arc of race relations between whites and blacks in America, I think, you know, I don't believe that the an enormous emotional reality. Two and a half centuries of slavery. Yes. Followed by another hundred years of institutionalized violence, white supremacy. And when you look at that and you look at the arc of our history, which I think in many, many ways Americans have lost connection to, and you realize what the civil rights movement did accomplish and yet what has not yet been accomplished. The externalities of segregation were dismantled the next year.

The Voting Rights Act, although that's been chipped away at and in many ways was sliding backwards now with mass incarceration, etc. But more to the point, at the end of the Civil War, General Sherman promised 40 acres and a mule. That's right. And that 40 acres and a mule would have given to a formerly enslaved population the chance to start over. I mean, if you were slaves, you certainly had skill sets, right? So that 40 acres and a mule, think what that would have meant. So most of them did not receive it. Those who did receive it, in most cases, it was taken away.

So the economic restitution piece simply was never handled yet. And I believe that after 60 years, you had the end of the Civil War, another 100 years before the Civil Rights Movement. Now it's been another, what, 50, 60 years, and it's time for the next piece. And I believe that that's economic restitution in a way that was never,

because the gap was never closed. Never. It was never closed, and we are living with the legacies of that. And I think that it would be a great gift to our children. Let's go back. Let's find out why you want to run for president. But we didn't even start there.

So you're running for president in 2020. Why? Well, it's interesting. The reparations is only one example of issues where I feel the conversation that dominates our politics does not go deep enough. I mean, we're living in the 21st century now. And people know, maybe some politicians act like they don't know. I think even they do know. That in order to change your life, you have to do more than just address things that are happening on the outside.

You have to address psychological realities, spiritual realities, emotional realities, historical realities. Otherwise, you might fix something, but you're not transforming anything. So what's happening with our politics today is that they fix. But, you know, all you're doing is fixing something. Then somebody else can get in power two years later or four years later and unfix it. As we've been seeing happening even today. Absolutely. Absolutely. So we have to look at the deeper dynamics of what got us to where we are.

And there has to be a change inside people. I've heard you say that before. It can't be a change inside Washington. It has to be a change inside of us. And in Washington. Yeah. Not just a change in Washington. Both hands.

Right. An integrative approach to politics. Just like we have an integrative approach to medicine. This is the political conversation in America stuck in the 1990s somewhere. It's like this is the 21st century and people have moved forward. People whether religion, spirituality, recovery, psychotherapy,

people know that you have to address issues going on inside yourself and the American people have become spectators to politics. There are a lot of different parts of our society. There are poets, there are artists, there are philosophers, there are business people, there are scientists,

there are educators, there are people in entertainment. And yet people in politics, just one more lane, wields this extraordinary power over people's lives. And they don't tend to be, particularly at this time, the wisest element. It's too dangerous where they've taken us. Are we talking about giving individuals checks? Are we talking about restitution and doing things in

communities that will benefit people? I think that should be for black America to decide. If I owe you money, I don't get to tell you how to spend it. I like that. I think the really big deal is the selection of this reparations council. And there are some very profound scholars, people like Professor Darity, Don Hessey Coates. There are many people who have done years of work on this.

And the issue would be the very important task of choosing the council, the very important task of negotiating the amount. And the stipulation in my mind would be for economic and educational renewal. It's not for white America to decide those particular issues. Where is this money coming from? Because there's white people watching this right now saying she is out of her damn mind. Yeah. Well, first of all, because I'm running for president, I've spent quite a bit of time in Iowa, one of the whitest states in America. I spent a lot of time in New Hampshire, one of the whitest states in America.

And I get applause every time I talk about this. Because when you actually pay for people, the historical picture, the timeline, it's not unreasonable. It's like, wow, yeah, well, we still owe that money. Germany has paid $89 billion in reparations to Jewish organizations since World War II. We paid in 1988. Ronald Reagan signed the American Civil Liberties Act, which gave money to the surviving, the people who had been interned in the Japanese internment camps during World War II. So it's by the 20th century. Well, even after the Civil War, given that 40 acres and a mule was promised, it shouldn't be considered an outrageous idea.

Not at all. This is something we need to deal with. You have to get straight with God. You have to make things right. You have to close the gap between who you say you are and how you're behaving. And racism is an original character

defect of the United States. And I believe the universe is merciful, but you have to make things right. I agree with all that, but where's the money going to come from? Okay, where's the money going to come from? Well, of course, that's what, you know, we're never asked that when they want to have a $2 trillion tax cut for the very wealthiest among us. They never ask that when they want to invade a country.

Both of those misadventures were $2 trillion. They find that money somewhere. Exactly. Every bit of money that is put into education, every bit of money that is put into something that is going to unleash the spirit of people is money that is put into your economy. That's where money comes from. That money is going into allowing people to become all they can be. And the more individuals become all they can be, they create more, they produce more, and they spend more.

Well, we look forward to you and wish you the best of luck. Thank you. Hopefully we'll see you again. Give them your website so they can donate to your campaign. Thank you so much. Marianne 2020. Marianne Williamson, thank you for joining us. Thank you.

Thank you for having me. Thank you. Come back. Don't be a stranger. Thank you. I would love that. We'll see you again. All right.

This is my first rally, something I wanted to do as a kid. I used to watch it on television, and I got an opportunity to do it. A little Red Bull rally? Yeah, a little Red Bull rally. It's about 30 of us, 30 different people from different walks of lives.

And we're going to be driving from New Orleans to Atlanta, Atlanta to Tampa, and Tampa to Miami. And it's just a group of people, men and women, and we're just going to enjoy ourselves.

I like how y'all go all over the place. You go from that conversation, then segue into a positive note. Ratchet righteous, baby. That's what we do. Marianne Williamson, one of my favorite quotes from her is a great quote. She says, our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.
