And Charlemagne, you know what it is, it's he was on time yesterday.

So today. We can't do that two days in a row because then, you know how it is, people get used to you being somewhere at a certain time when you're supposed to be there, and then they expect that. So sometimes you can't do that too many times in a row because then they just take it for granted that you get to work on time. But today is ye day, So I have a huge event happening in Brooklyn. Shout out to everybody that's gonna be coming out performing.

It's also the West Indian Day Parade here, which is one of the biggest parades in New York City, and that goes down Labor Day weekend every single year.

York Times. Also, of course, this morning we are doing get It Off Your Chest, so you guys get to call in and join me and get it off your chest. That phone number is eight hundred and five A five one oh five one for you to call up and get it off your chest. Maybe you're feeling mad today, maybe you're feeling blessed and you want to spread some positivity on Angela Yee day, you know, call us up

right now and we'll get into it. It's the Breakfast Club money, It's the World Knows Dangerous Morning show to Breakfast Club Charlemagne God Angela Ye, it's time for front page news. What we got ye? All right, well, let's talk about it. Man. Imagine this. You're traveling back to the United States from Jamaica and with you you bring three jars of honey. What do you think that would cause you to go to jail for almost three months?

It depends if honey is illegal and wherever the hell you're traveling from, because you know, when you come from these different places, they tell you that you can't bring certain goods and you have to declare, well, honey is not illegal. It was just three jars of honey. And Leone Haughton was flying back from Jamaica and apparently they told him that he had a controlled substance that he was trying to bring into the country. It was a methamphetamine,

they said. And he's from he lives in Maryland. He spent eighty two days in jail after he got arrested December twenty ninth. He stayed there until March. That's when the charges were dropped against him and they found out there was no controlled substance in those jars of honey according to a lab. So now he went to sue.

But when he came home, he lost all of his insurance, his credit was destroyed, he lost his job, everything to MESSI has six children, so he lost all of that while sitting behind bars for doing nothing wrong to honey. And they said it was reference. Well, according to authorities, they said that when they searched the bag, the honey

tested positive for drugs. You know how they swab it when they're like, okay, if you get a random search or something happened to get flagged, and then they put that little that wipe on you and then they can search it. And they said they were drugs. And then they also said that specially trained drug sniffing dog was alerted to the presence of a controlled dangerous substance and and a preliminary test done by a police officers tested positive.

They tested it positive. You can't request the second opinion and stuff like that. Well, they did end up getting one, but I guess it took three months until the lab in Georgia tested it out and found there was no sign to drugs. So who could he sue? I guess he can probably sue. I would think customs And he said there will be lawsuits coming soon. They should all right now. Dorian Tropical Storm Dorian is expected to make landfall in Puerto Rico today. They've closed schools today in

Puerto Rico. They said there would be dangerous rains in the island and a lot of people are traveling this weekend, so just be careful. I was supposed to go to Miami actually on Friday, and the whole event got canceled because they're expecting some pretty serious tropical storms. So right now, Tropical Storm Dorian is in the Caribbean Sea right near Guadalupe and Montserrat, and they said it will reach Puerto

Rico in the mid day or afternoon today. So they do have three hundred and sixty shelters available across the island that can hold about forty eight thousand people. And if you like to travel by the way, Delta Airlines is hiring one thousand flight attendants for their twenty twenty class. So if you ever thought about becoming a flight attendant, now's the time for you to try to get in there on Delta Airlines. All right. And Popeyes is out

of their chicken sandwiches. They've sold out. They posted on Twitter, y'all, we love that you love the sandwich. Unfortunately we're sold out for now, so that whole inventory is gone now. They do say when they bring that sandwich back, it'll be back for good next time, so it won't be just something that they're testing anymore. When they bring the sandwich back, it's back for good. I'm so damn tired to hearing about chicken sandwiches. I don't want to eat

nobody's chicken sandwich at this point. I haven't had the Popaye chicken sandwich, but at this point in my life, I don't want nobody's chicken sands. I'm just tied and hearing the word chicken sandwich, y'all, ain't hurt chicken too much this week. You talked about it a lot. I talked about it when it first started. That was like a week ago, before the weeks ago. Yeah, way before the hoopla. There was hoopla before you started talking about it. Well,

I didn't know anything about it. A lot of hoopla before that. I heard about it because of the young ladies who work here, and they said how good it was, and Dan our producers said how good it was, and also trying that one day, and they were beefing on Twitter. Chick fil A was beefing with Wendy's and Popeyes and all of them were beefing about it before that. Yeah, that was much later. After I suggested that I want to eat one. It was two weeks ago. I'll talk

about it. Yeah, No, trust me, it was already a big deal before because when you when you started talking about it, everybody was like, yeah, you didn't hear about it already. Well guess what I'm over it? Well, get ready for KFC because they're going to be doing that beyond Meat Friday Chicken. So I'm gonna try it and I'll let y'all know how it is. But I think they're only doing it in Atlanta at first, so I'll be in Atlanta and oh, they're only testing it at

one location in Atlanta. I don't understand how people cannot want to eat genetically modified chicken, but then running the cat see to go eat genetically modified chicken. Beyond Meat is not genetically modified. If you look at their website, it says non GMO. Specifically, if it's plant based chicken, it is genetically modified. You have to make that somewhere. I'm telling you have to make that song right now. If you look at it, it's non GMO and that's

approved by the FDA. Whoever got the chicken garden? Nowaday that's growing the chickens, Please hid at me so I can know it's not GMO. I need to see the chickens on the vine or something, all right, I need to see him grow from the route. Well, they already started testing it in Atlanta and it's sold out in five hours. In that local people think they're eating something healthy. If you stamp healthy on something and stamp vegan on something, people are rushed to do it in this era. Yeah,

didn't we just talked about how to beyond me? It ain't really that good for you. Yeah, it's just if you're a vegetarian and you don't eat meat, it's an option for you. So, but what is it? P isolate? I don't know what that is. That sounds like something you got to get a shot for. All right, well, that is your front page and news. I'm aula ye yes, and we gotta get it off your chests.

Leave ut out alone. I feel like you and Bobby Les would get along. I feel like we probably may get along, but that doesn't mean Little Not let to want them and you know what, though, it's interesting how everything is

Because I've worked so hard, I don't have to work anymore, and you're gonna take your

I'm like kids, and I feel very mud. Wow. That was again, that's amazing. So now you get to kick back, relax, raise the kids, and I have to worry about going to work. Yeah. Are y'all married? Yeah? If we got married in Julie. Oh, well that's a beautiful thing. Man. I'm happy for you. Thank you very much. See that's great when people come to an agreement. That's what she wants to do, that's what he would like for her to do, and they love it. Good morning, It's time

to get it off your chest. Who is this Victoria? Hey Victoria, Hi, you sound like you're in a good mood. I'm actually headed to work. I just stopped my three year old off. I'm headed to work. I just want to drop my chest. I'm twenty four years old and I'm trying to find a way to get instead of acting.

I've been trying since I was eighteen, and I just don't always start reacting to say because I'm from a small town and from and it's just like even when I go to like auditions in Miami, it's like you have to all pay twenty five hundred dollars just to get schooled out, to get food up. We got the Atlanta or California just to take the classes and stuff, and I don't have it. I'm in school, I'm working a full time job and I'm a full time off So I don't know what. I don't know what to

tell you. Your dreams cost baby costs money to pursue your dreams. And you know, I think I think the acting classes is in la and in Atlanta, so that's where you need to be. Yeah, you have to get your acting on and I will say this a lot of times you can audition for things too on video, so you should just make sure you pay attention to those opportunities. But you gotta get out there in network, and you got an audition, and you have to perfect your craft, and once was a website to do it at.

Don't you got to have an agent looking at agents set up your auditions. I mean I don't know if you can get an agent, but that's also not easy. You have to get to a point where agent wants to sign you. As what I'm telling her, because I don't think it's a website you can go to and just upload videos of you auditioning, because yeah, because they had I had set up for the pilot Perry Emails to get the newsletters on when you have auditions, and I just say it was like, oh, you will have

to do this that. I'm like, okay, like I don't mind doing actually I trust that. But all the other websites just like, oh, you will have to send us doing this to day you an audition. I'm like, wait, what's going on? Well, make sure you look at backstage dot com because that's a very official place. But you can see it, and they also have other actors audition tapes,

so you can see what those look like. So you can see some people who are famous now what their audition tapes look like, so you can get some great ideas and how you should be looking. You should film yourself too, so that when it's time for you to get those auditions, you're ready. So I always feel like it's important to get ready. And I don't understand why

you're complaining about receiving directions. If you're calling these people and they're telling you what to do, that's not you can't just say that's are telling me to do this and do that. That's giving you directions on what to do. No, they want me to send at eight hundred dollars in getting there was like getting I could come and I and I'm like, I don't even know you guys about that. Yeah, I don't know about all that. It shouldn't cost no money to audition, but I would I would definitely look

at backstage dot com. Okay, thank you, no problem, Let's get it off your chests. We do that every morning. Now listen. I want to salute Nicole Handah Jones. She'll be here next hole. If you don't know who Nicole Hannah Jones is, she's an American investigative journalist. And there's this great piece in the New York Times that came out about a week and a half ago called the

sixteen nineteen Project. And you know, it's all about four hundred years after enslaved Africans were first brought to Virginia. A lot of Americans still don't know the full story of slavery, and they tell it in this sixteen nineteen project. And then Coole Hannah Jones will be here to talk about it next hour. Now we gotta get it off. We got coming up next, reporter Yeam report is coming up, and we're gonna talk about a comedian who handled things

terribly wrong on stage. He's been up here to the Breakfast Club before. Also, we have to give a congratulations to a woman who has found her true love and also having a baby. All right, we'll talk about it. It's Breakfast Club, the Breakfast Club. Listen, it's reports, it's a rule report, all right. Now, Janello Nay has apologized no reason. I didn't really think this was a bad

idea what her suggestion was. But everybody's trying to get those Popeyes chicken sandwiches, and we told you in the front page news that they are sold out for now. She said, perhaps we put voting booths at every Popeye's location while we wait on that sandwich. You can register and vote at Popeye's. Holla, what's the problem. It sound like a bad idea to me, And she has since apologized for no reason. Bunk with your social media pressure. She said, you know, when other people say things on

here that are wrong, I'm misguided. I wonder why don't they just admit they're wrong and learn from it. So I'm going to do that now. I think the twisted I posted about registering and voting were insensitive and wrong, especially the way they ignore the very real issues of voter suppression that have impacted my community for years and me directly thanks to all of you for calling me out, helping me remember and me focus on the bigger issues.

Just because everybody gets outraged, don't mean that they right. You mean to tell me her suggesting that we should register people to vote as a problem. Like, there's a kid in Charlotte No Can line. His name was David Ledbetter. He did the same exact thing this weekend. He went to Popeyes and he was out there trying to register people to vote. Most people in the line were already registered, but who cares. He was out there doing his due diligence.

When you want to register people to vote, especially young ones, you go where they are, Like, what's the problem? Media fresh reason people thought this was targeted toward black people, which I didn't take it as that when I read it. Some of y'all everyone the reason Popeyes chicken sandwiches and sold that is because everyone's going to get them. Some of y'all too woke. You need some sleep y'all woke too long and it's starting to affect your like, just

just just minds. Okay, you sound stupid, because, by the way, if you pay attention, anywhere you go where there's a crowd over the next year, you're going to see people out there registering people to vote. I don't care if it's a concert, I don't care. If it's Angela Ye day, I don't care. If it's at the mall. You're going to wherever there's large crowds of people, you're going to see people out there registering people to vote for the next year. And we'll be out they're helping register people

to vote. Yeah, if you actually pay attention, you will see that everywhere you go for the next year. And by the way, just how y'all know you can register to vote at the library as well. All right in our line, meek Mill has pleaded guilty again in that old gun case that he had, so finally things are over and done with. He pled guilty to misdemean in a possession of a firearm without a license, and all of those charges which he was originally convicted for were

all dropped. In two thousand and eight, he was found guilty of seven charges for it which related to the gun. So he spoke briefly after that and he said this meek free. I'm not on probation no more. Have they gonna cut no more? Thank y'all. I appreciate that a lot. Yeah, and I just wanted to come up here myself and think all the supporters because I know y'all probably got family members in jail, people going through the same thing

as me. And I will continue to do what I do with the reform movement and help the people that helped me. Yeah, salute to Miki. Fought his way out the system. Took a lot of money and resources, but he got it done. So now he gotta pay forward about continuing to help those who don't have those money and resources. Now he had a choice. It could have gone to trial if he wanted to, but he yeah, he didn't feel like doing all that. It's all done

over with clothes and me. Please please keep your nose clean. Don't get arrested. All right, you know them, You know they're on your ass right now? Why they say keep your nose clean? Because I always think of drugs when people say that keep your nose clean. I don't know why they said it, keep your ass clean? Right? Yeah? Please? All right? Cassie, congratulations, look at me like that drum because pertains to you. Do you look at me like having a clean ass is disgusting? He's like, you got

a clean ass? All right now? Cassie congratulations. Everybody knows she's pregnant, but she's also engaged. She shared on Instagram, My favorite day ever, missus Fine eight twenty four Now Messica commented, Ladies, let Cassie and Sierra be a lesson for all of us. Get rid of the toxic men people in your life. You can be with the man on and off for you while your man already I can't even finish reading it while you sucking your teeth.

Because there's one Cassie and there's one Sierra. Everybody got a different route to take to get to the loves of day life. Head point is get rid of the toxic man people in your life. You can be with the man on and off for years swear he loves you, but plays all day where your time and causes you pain. The right man can come in your life and change

everything overnight. You. Let me tell you something. There's a woman out there that dated Cassie's now fiance, and there's a woman out there that dated Russell Wilson, and they think they trash all right. So clearly those men evolved and those men grew all right, so they might be better men. Now you understand what I'm saying. It is not bad advice to get rid of toxic people in your life. No, of course not. That's great, but you suck at your teeth about because like everything don't apply

to everybody. Okay, everybody should get rid of toxic people in their life, absolutely, But she specifically said Cassie and Sierra, as the two dudes that day with were always great guys. You can google Russell Wilson to see who used to date who he used to be out here chasing all right over the truth, ald like, like, let's not act like that. Everybody got their own work to do. Everybody got their own healing to do to get to a good place. Charlotte Tea who he used to date, I

mean it's public acknowledge. All right. Well, Cassie is getting married and she is engaged, so congratulations to her. All right, I'm Angela Yee and that is your room of report, Charlomagne. Tea is front page News. We got frontage news coming, we got coming up in front page News. Yes, So we are going to talk about a TV anchor who had to apologize to her co host. Now, I'm gonna give you a hint of something that happened. She's white

and he's black. All right, we'll talk about it. Doing front Page News is to Breakfast Club, yeas to Weldon, most dangerous morning show to Breakfast Club, Charlomagne and God, Angela. Year is Wednesday, God damn it. Right yeah, all day to day is Wednesday. All right, front page DW what we got you? All right, Well, let's talk about an Oklahoma City news anchor having to apologize to her co host. Now.

Alex Houston of kao CEO's fives Morning show said she wanted to apologize to her co worker Jason Hackett, her colleague, because there's something that she said that was very hurtful. There was a segment about an ape caretaker who took over the social media for the Oklahoma City Zoo and while showing the video of a baby gorilla, this is what she said to her co worker. Okay, you have to see this. This is Fenn. We're about to show.

Oh my goodness, I can look at He is a resident of the Oklahoma City Zoo and this week the zoo's an ape caretaker took over their Instagram and we are all woman that they did. Now, as you can see, Fenn was fascinated. I was like, yeah, so she's white, he's black. So she basically told her black co worker that the ape looks like him. Well, she has since apologized, I'm here this morning because I want to not only to find co winker Jason's mature, entire community. I said

something yesterday that was inconsiderate. It was inappropriate, and I hurt people. And I want you to know I understand how much I hurt you out there and how much I hurt you. I love you so much, and you know it's been one of my best friends for about year and a half and I would never do anything on purpose to hurt you. As I sipped some tea out of my white tears mug I just want y'all to know that generational trauma is real, because nothing scares

me more than a white woman crying. And it's amazing to me how she's crying because she's wrong. But I was afraid for that man as he was sitting there like he was about to get in trouble for me and that white woman cry even though he's in the right. Ain't that something? Yeah, Jesus, listen, it's never a good idea just for anybody out there to say that your black co worker looks like an eighth a gorilla a monkey, even if they do look like an eighth gorilla monkey,

keep that to yourself. I wish for that to your little friends, all right, when nobody's around. Okay, all right, so she has to apologize now, per Due Farmer, we've been telling you about these opioid claims and settlements. They've bought for ten to twelve billion dollars Perdue Farmer to set up opioid claims. So they met in Cleveland. They're the makers of oxycotton and okay, yeah, you're a party popping. So they are responsible for starting and sustaining the OPA crisis.

That's what it's been alled to at least ten state attorney generals and plaintiffs attorneys gathered in Cleveland where they

actually sat down and came up with this. The Saclo family built a multi billion dollar drug empire based on addiction, according to the new Jersey Attorney General, and so now Perdue Farmer is offering that is it their fault though, because it's not like they was marketing the drugs for the use of like you know, kid just to be getting high for recreation, right, Yeah, But they also grossly misrepresented the risks of using them long term for people

who have chronic pain. They make it seem like it's not a bad thing. They don't talk about the addiction part of it. And a lot of times these prescriptions are getting written out too easily. It isn't a lot of that only the doctor. Doesn't the doctor prescribe it and tell you, okay, be on it for this amount of time, and then that's that it could have been misrepresented to the doctors as well. The way they market it.

I just think it's so much gray area when it comes to that, like I'm just making the product, I'm not telling people how to use it. Well, clearly they feel responsible. If you make billions and billions of dollars off of people's pain, at some point, you're responsible. So when we're gonna suit these fast food restaurants they forgiving all the people have food. Oh that's happens. Well, Papayes, y'all got some lawsuits coming. Y'all way, if I know them.

Popeyes Chicken Sandwich is calling. Popeyes Chicken Sandwiches are sold out, so they are going to bring it back. They said on Twitter, y'all, we love that you love the sandwich. Unfortunately we're sold out for now, but they are going to permanently add that as it seems like people love it enough for that to happen. And again, I just want to reiterate to make sure that when you're traveling

this weekend, pay attention. I know it is a holiday weekend, a lot of people are going to the Caribbean, they're going to Florida. Just know that there are going to be tropical storms. Tropical Storm Dorian is hitting Puerto Rico today. They've actually closed the schools in Puerto Rico today. And I was supposed to go to Miami this weekend that got canceled because of the tropical storms that are supposed to be coming, so all parts of the Caribbeans supposed

to be affected. Well right now in the Caribbean, see the Dorian is just west of Guadaloupe and Montserrat, where my mom is from, and it's reaching Puerto Rico today, So just make sure you keep checking because you know these storms can't move. But again, they said from Wednesday to Thursday, Puertico could get four to eight inches of rain. They saying Dominican Republic could get up to four inches Haiti virgin Islands, So just be careful if you're traveling,

all right and check that's front page news. Listen. Coming up next, we have a young lady named Nicole handed Jones.

She's an investigative journalist for the New York Times. I don't know if y'all have read this article that they have called the sixteen nineteen Project, but it's just it's basically about four hundred years after enslaved Africans being brought to Virginia, a lot of Americans still don't know the full story of slavery, and the sixteen nineteen Project tells you the full story of slavery in a real way and then Coole handed Jones will be here on the

Breakfast Club to talk about it. All right, it's the Breakfast Club. DJ Envy and Angela Yee, Charlomage Nagad, we all the Breakfast Club. You have a special guest in the buildings. Indeed, Nicole Hannah Jones welcome. Thank you that she's a staff writer for the New York Times magazine and author of the sixteen nineteen Project. Man, if you have not read the sixteen nineteen project, you need to. It's infuriating, all right, but most stories about slavery offers

for black people. But what made you want to release this project? Now, there's a couple of things. So I've been obsessed with sixteen nineteen for a long time. I first came across that data in high school, and I had never been taught that people of African descent had been here that long, which felt very intentional. So as the anniversary, the four hundredth anniversary was approaching, I just knew most American households, we're gonna it was gonna pass

and people wouldn't even know it was an anniversary. We're not going to take this moment to commemorate what that meant, and it just seemed like a great opportunity to kind of force this country to reckon with the legacy of slavery. And of course, what I'm arguing in sixteen nineteen is as foundational to the American story as the year seventeen seventy six. Yeah, you said, I think you said in the article that there was no American democracy until black people. Yeah,

for sure. So if you think about that, when Thomas Jefferson is writing the Declaration of Independent saying that all men are created equal, given inalienabout writes by our creator, he owns one hundred and thirty human beings and actually has his enslaved brother in law there with him to keep him comfortable as he's writing those words. And majority

of the founders were enslavers. They owned other humans. The Constitution codify slavery and denies the vote to most Americans, so women can't vote under that original constitution Native people, in black people, that's not democracy. But black folks actually took those words literally and really, through two hundred and fifty years of struggle and resistance, started to make our founding documents real. Yeah, it was something you said something

in one of these I know. I think it was in chapter one where you talked about how slaves always rebelled, Yes, like you know, and I think that's what a misconception, especially when Kanye said slavery was a choice. You know, Yeah, we're definitely not going to talk about what Kanye said about favors. Is that's ridiculous. We people of African descent rebel before we even got to the slave ship. We were rebelling when they were trying to force us onto

the ships. We rebelled on the ships, and we certainly rebelled. I mean one of the very first slave rebellions occurs in the sixteen hundreds. Constantly people were fighting. Of course they were like, it's illogical to think that people ever accepted slavery, But we also had to think about what the odds were. Right, We had no weapons, no army in many you know, we were outnumbered in the United States.

Yet even so we were constantly fighting and rebellion and both using the law and using the same means as a revolutionaries in that we would at times take a violence to try to gain our freedom. What makes you so passionate about this project because I write about race and inequality for a living and we all hear people look at the circumstances that Black Americans live in today and they say that this is just because somehow we're pathological,

somehow we don't want better. But we live in circumstances that were intentionally created. And the anti black racism that begins to justify slavery is the same anti black racism that keeps black people in the conditions we are now. I think that we would prefer to deny the truth of our history. We want to believe that we are an exceptional country, when really we were just one of many nations that practice slavery that deprived individuals of their rights.

And so if we're ever going to truly address the conditions that people live in now, we have to deal with how we got here. And you can see that with the conservative activists that rush to condemn your project. I think I think Eric Ericson he described the project as opinion writers who profit from seeing things through racial lenses and keeping racial tension of flame as much as Trump does one. You have to laugh at anyone who's mad that you see slavery through a racial lens. Slavery

was clearly created through a racial Lens. But most of the conservatives who have come out against the project, it's because they haven't read a single word of it. They're not calling out the facts of it. They can't argue the facts. They just don't like what it's saying. And that's because we're not used to centering black folks. We're used to black people being either invisible or treated as the bottom. And what this project is saying is we're

actually the real Americans. We believed in equality and the ideals of the Founding documents even when the founders did it, and that makes people very upset, I expect it. So what are your thoughts and reparations as we've been talking about it, what do you think about reparations and what do you think we should get if you believe in it?

So you know, I'm a journalist, not an activist, but what I will say is I don't know how you come you read this project and not come away with the realization that something is clearly old strip away, you know, centuries of the ability to create wealth, not just from slavery, but one hundred years of legal apartheid and even what's happening now, and not believe that something is old to

those descendants to try to make it right. So one of the pieces that will be coming later in the project will really be at a piece that's assessing what is old and how do we get to it. Well, what you're saying is true, but that's all ties into the fact that that's why probably why they always try to dismiss it and overlook it and discredit it, because as long as they can do that, then they never have to deal with realization. Yet we do all these

these people. What's amazing, this is why I love history, I study history so much, is white Americans were arguing against reparations. Like literally, in the months after slavery ended, when you had actual victims of people who had like two months earlier been enslaved, white Americans were saying, well, we shouldn't give them anything special. It's gonna make them lazy. So this argument that black people owe nothing for enslavement really began right at the end of enslavement, when you

had living victims of the institution. We've never wanted to make this right. Really, if you read my opening piece, Abraham Lincoln, once he decided he needed to end slavery, wanted to send black people somewhere else did not want us to be here, So we were never supposed to actually exist in America outside of being used for bondage. And we've actually as a people been being punished ever since.

And he gave the slave masters reparations. Yes, yes, So only people in America who have ever received reparations for slavery have been the white people who enslaved us. That's crazy. You started off by talking about the fact that they don't educate us on slave Why do you Why do you think that is? I think there's two reasons, so slavery. The very fact that there are forty million black people

in this country right now gives lie to our founding myth. Right, our founding myth is that we are a country born out of freedom, out of the desire to be free. But you can't really make that argument when the very people who founded this country were enslaving one fifth of the population, one out of every twenty Americans at the revolution were enslaved. So because of that, we don't want to teach about this thing that gives lie to who

we are. How do you teach about the greatness of George Washington and they say he owned two hundred people and forced them to work on a slave labor camp. How do you teach about Thomas Jefferson and say, you know, look at Monticello, but enslaved people who are getting their backs laid open with whips are the ones who built Monticello. They're the ones who produce the wealth that allows Thomas Jefferson, at the age of thirty three, to be able to

write the Declaration. Right, So all of these things are very uncomfortable because they give lie to who we want to believe we are as Americans. However, are that the founders even though they didn't believe in the ideals, they set out the ideals in the template that allowed black people to fight and resist and bring us closer to our democracy. So we shouldn't actually be ashamed of that.

We should actually feel very good about that. But it's just we don't want to deal with our founding hypocrisy and our paradox. We want to believe that we were the greatest, most freest country in the world, and it's just not true. All Right, we got more conversation with Nicole Hannah. We're gonna talk more about this sixteen nineteen project. If you haven't read it, man, go through your Google's right now and read it. But we'll be back with more than the Coole Hannah Jones right here on the

Breakfast Club. It's the world most Dangerous morning show to Breakfast Club, Charlomagne and the the god Head. We're back with Nicole Hannah Jones. She is an investigative journalist for the New York Times and they got this amazing piece called the sixteen nineteen Project that's available right now now. Nicole, you know, even when you talk about this being the four hundred fan anniversary of slavery, I always wanted to

how should I responded at it? That's something to be celebrated. No, certainly not celebrated, but it's something we should commemorate and mark. It's not a history. It's really saying you can look across all these aspects of modern day society and see the legacy of slavery. And I'll just give a quick example. We're the only Western industrialized country that doesn't have universal healthcare, the only one that goes back to slavery and the

desire to deny black people access to common goods. So when you look at polling on this, if white Americans believe that black people will benefit from a social program, they oppose that program. So this racialized opposition means not only are black people being hurt, but millions of white Americans don't have health insurance, can't get access to good healthcare, are dying because of white racism against black folks. So

you can't even contain the harm. And in the magazine, we give tons of examples, right, sugar, why there's so much traffic in Atlanta, Geography, capitalism, the dysfunction in our politics. All of this kind of goes back to that original sin. And that's really what this project is trying to do. It's not just force us to reckon with the past, but forces to reckon with the ways that all Americans are still suffering from that legacy. Did you say traffic

in Atlanta? Yes, explain it. So there's a piece in there that talks about how when they're designing the Interstate Highway system in Atlanta, they're really including hearts Mayor Heartsfield, whom the Atlanta Airport is named after, wants to create traffic patterns that will split black communities off from white communities. Really, you have to be at the new York Times to make sure these stories that told I don't understand why we get so upset when all people want to see

to the table. I'll get to see at the table. Now, it clearly matters what you do when you get that seat at the table. Like, if you go into these institutions and you're not pressing back and you're not pushing back against the narrative and creating a counter narrative, then it doesn't do any good for us to be there. But we clearly have to be there if we want to shape the way that we're seeing in the world. Yeah, you don't want to be Ben Carson. You do not,

at least not the current iteration. Yes I could. I learned stuff reading this article, Like I did not know that slavery ended because of the Thirteenth Amendment. I always thought it of the Emancipatient Proclamation as well. Yeah, So what people don't get is Abraham Lincoln was actually not that concerned. He was opposed to slavery, but he was also like, if we can keep slavery and keep the Union together, we'll keep slavery. And the emancipation Proclamation was

a war tactic. It was trying to punish the Confederate States and say, if you don't come back to the Union, we will free your labor source, and then you'll be bankrupted and have to So, yeah, the emancipation only free those who were enslaved in the Confederacy, which Lincoln actually didn't have control over those because it was in the Confederacy.

And it would take the end of the Civil War to actually get the end of legal slavery in the United States, except, of course, if you're incarcerated, which is what's going on right now. Yes, and what exactly what was the thirteen amend minute? Was that? Yeah, So the thirteenth Amendment ends slavery. And it's funny because our constitution protects slavery but never mentions the word slavery. And the first time the word slavery's ever mentioned in the constitutions

when they ended. And that's what the thirteenth Amendment says, that you cannot have slavery accept unless someone commits a crime and is incarcerated. And so, of course a lot of people understand what that is meant, which is that we have implemented a new quasi slavery through our penal system. Yes, how did that make it hard for you with a journalist. Social media like just Twitter, Like yeah, I mean it can be, as you know, both good and bad. So

Twitter can be incredibly democratizing. What I love about Twitter is before, if a place like The New York Times wrote something that people felt as derogatory or unfair to our community, all you could do was send a letter to the editor and they may or may not publish it. But now like people can instantly say this was racist or this was wrong, and they're changing in real time the way that we're reporting the headlines we're writing. And I love that because I think it gives marginalized people

power that they didn't have before. But then there's also like the Twitter mob, right, that's not thinking things through, that's not being realistic, that is attacking anyone who doesn't say exactly what they want to say, and that can be very toxic. So I just drank a lot of bourbon and take Twitter breaking. The only problem is I don't have any problem with your opinion as long as this an informed opinion. Did you read the sixteen nineteen prob nine times out of ten, No, that's what I'm saying.

Or did you just look at people's reaction to it, and then you came to your own conclusion because if you read it, there's no way you could possibly have anything bad to say about it. Thank you for saying that. I mean, when we were extremely careful. Um, I understood how fraught this project was. So we were careful with everything, including language, Like I create a style book, like we're not going to call people slaves. We're not gonna use blacks as a noun, right, We're gonna, we're gonna we're

gonna have a very consistent style. What's wrong we're calling people's slaves only because like back then, in historical context, they looked at us a three fifths of a person. So I think the slaves is very dehumanizing. Slaves says that this is you as a person, that you were a slave. I think slave being enslaved. It was a condition.

It was a condition that white people enforced upon us, but it wasn't who we are as our identity, and so using the term slave was a way to denote that we were not equal to them, We couldn't be citizens, we were not fully human. And I don't choose to replicate that when speaking about our ancests I like to talk about slavery as a condition, but not as who these people were. But weren't they trying to dehumanize us?

Of course, but we shouldn't repeat that language, right, So they created this language to dehumanize us, and every time we repeat that, then we're actually kind of following their same logic. So that's why I don't use slave owner. I call them in slavers, like make it make it more real what they're doing. I don't use the word plantation. I call it forced labor camps, because that wasn't what

it was. So this language is all the ways that we justify what was really the most atrocious besides the genocide and Native Americans, the most atrocious things that this country ever did, and we should use the language that shows that. I call them racist, bigot, crack ass, crack of white devils. Yeah, I don't think that's going to get in the New York Times. But why do you

think America you have to apologize for slavery? Oh god, I think that white Americans believe if an apology comes, then the next thing you have to do is try to remedy the wrong. Right to zbvious, you can't say I'm sorry for this wrong and then not try to fix it. So by not apologizing you, by saying we don't have to apologize to you for anything, then you don't then have to take the next steps and to do the remedy. I mean, I hear every single day a white person say, all these white people die to

free you, so why are you complaining? And I'm like, well, one, you don't get credit for fighting the end of the the institution you created, like that was your obligation. But two tons of black folks also fought, beginning in the Revolutionary War, and we're fighting actually for your freedom because we didn't get it. And we also fought in the Civil War. So it's this continuous downplaying of what the harm was and an inability to admit it because then you can't

admit it and then not do anything about it. Well, I would love to give these way to add our juice bar. Angelie and I own a juice bar in Brooklyn. We would love to give it away. I want to get that, Frank. You know, we have the International African American Museum opening in Charleton, Psycroline. It's gonna be on Gatchin's warf and you spoke about it in the article about how you know the slaves that came from West Africa right into that point. If I'm not mistaken, I

think it's like fifty sixty percent of Ye. Yes, yeah, absolutely. I would love to get that framed and put in that museum. Yeah, we would love to do that, and we've given we've sent copies so far to about ten to twelve HBCUs, and we're gonna also be doing events all across the country also at HBCUs as well. Tell them again how they can read it a lot. If you go to the New York Times and just look for sixteen nineteen project, it's online. You can also go

to the Pulletzer Center and you google sixteen nineteen. You can download the entire project for free at the Pulletzers. I gotta read it, must right, all right? Well, listen Nicolehanda Jones and it's the Breakfast Club, Go Morning, Thank You. Yeah, the world most Dangerous morning show to Breakfast Club. Charlomagne and God Angela Ye Day one on vacation. Huh. Yes, he's on vacation because it is Angela Ye Day today. So he decided to take a vacation to celebrate. Well,

Yeah, you only tell me what you mean a whole week like I'll be on the schedule if you would read your emails and read the schedule. Ya, don't talk to y'all be in France. Really, whoa, that's dope. I'm taking off the daddy right now, coming on vacation. Yea. I need a mental health break. Goddamn it. Hey, listen, salute to Nicole

Hannah Jones for coming in. And if you haven't read the sixteen nineteen Project, you really need to. And tomorrow at ten am, if you're in New York City, you can pick up the sixteen nineteen Project magazine issue in special section for free for as long as supplies last, just outside the New York Times Building on forty year screet. You can't miss it. It's right in time. Squares crossed from what that port authority. Yeah, they got saw they

had set up at afro Punk. Also they had a booth their Afropunk you know else was probably doing that afro Punk registering people to vote. That's what you do when it's a lot, when it's a large group of people, y'all, lau Janelle. When they asked for no goddamn reason, we got rumor report coming up. You. Yes, let's talk about Dave Chappelle surviving R Kelly. Um, you know they had asked to be in that documentary and we'll tell you now. There's some back and forth about the R. Kelly documentary

and Dave Chappelle stand up on Netflix. Now. I think Bachabielle got the last word on this one. We'll talk about it though. It's the Breakfast Club. Just want to show the Breakfast Club, Charlomagne and God Angela. Ye, it's time for Rumor Report, and we got to talk about the god named Dave Chappelle. Damn it. This is the Rumor Report with ANGELI year Breast Club, Dave Chappelle stand up on Netflix, Sticks and Stones. Um. Actually I watched that yesterday while I was at home. I saw a live.

I saw a live on Brower and so it was. I was, yeah, it was very funny, amazing. I think it's his best stand up. I was after some of it, I was like, should I be laughing at this. Yes you should, because some of it. I was like, whoa, But I guess that was the whole point of it. Clearly sticks and stones. But anyway, one person who personally was mentioning there and took offense was Dream Hampton. And she's saying that some things that he said in his

stand up about her when an accurate. Now, Dave Chappelle was talking about Dream Hampton, who did the R Kelly documentary that was on Lifetime. The documentaries asked him to be in the documentaries. Here's what he says happened right before him going on stage. She goes, Dave were working on a documentary on about R Kelly, would you like to be in it? And I was like, nah, bitch, I'm cool. I went on stage. I just forgot about it. And then two years later the documentary comes out. Dreams

promoting and she keeps bringing me up. She said, I asked Dave Chappelle to be in my documentary and he said it was too hot for TV. Bitch, I did not say that. This is not stephens sound like how I talk. Oh that's too hot. I would never say that hilarious minus the use of the word bitch, though, Yeah, I can do a doctor all right now. Dream Hampton tweeted quick fact check. I didn't personally are casually in

vite Chappelle to be interviewed for the Doctor. Producer responsible for CELEBT outreach officially asked him more than once I have and seen her talk to him in about eight years. Weird, he told it weird. He told his joke that way, I could be wrong. We didn't. Earlier this year, Dream said she reached out to these people, didn't she do interviews and tweet out that she reached out to Dave and Erica Baudo. And now I don't all that, but maybe she told the person who was responsible to reach out.

Maybe that was her way of saying she reached out. The person that was reaching out to celebrities was the person who knows. But I'm just telling you what she said. She said. I also obviously didn't need Chappelle to talk about R Kelly personally. I wanted him to talk about the two pieces of cultural criticism he produced about R Kelly for the Chappelle Show. I also have never in my life said the words too hard for TV, because

a bitch, That's not how I Sound from Detroit. Bitch, She said, no, I wasn't trying to just invite anybody that would possibly say something bad about R Kelly. I asked our producer T Ferris to invite him on because Dave Chappelle already said this, This really isn't Rocket Science. What did he say? It's a YouTube that she posted. Oh, she posted to Dave Chappelle. I mean, yeah, I mean

that's that's fair. I mean because you know, when we spoke to I forgot what the young lady name we spoke to that survived R Kelly, right, and you were asking her about and she talked about how hurtful that was because R Kelly was really doing those things according to her. Yeah, but I mean, you look at it from our perspective. We thought we were making jokes about our Kelly. But these are real people that were affecting in real life, right, So I think it makes sense

for her to reach out to him because of that. Yes, not because he personally knew our Kelly, but because he did do some and I thought, think it makes sense to clown on R Kelly. Yeah, on him. I understand though, when you're the person involved that it might hurt and feel differ like she said, it was woman really getting paid on I get it. All right. Now let's talk about Richard Pryor Junior. Since we're talking comedians, all right, So since we're talking paining on people, Okay, there was

nothing about peering in this story, but all right. So apparently Richard Pryor's ex bodyguard is saying that Richard Pryor wanted to put a hit on Paul Mooney. So here's what he had to say. The relationship became fragile because Paul Mooney had Richard's son by that time. Was there ever a conversation to retaliate against that, Yes, to the extent of Richard didn't want him on the planet. No more. Well,

I don't know. Okay, So according to Richard Pryor's ex bodyguard, his name is Rashan Khan, he's saying that Richard Pryor put a hit out on Paul Mooney because Paul Mooney had sex with Richard Pryor Junior and he had an issue with that. To'm assuming Richard Pridor Junior was a child at this time. I don't know exactly how old he was, but he was a well, you know, what.

I'm gonna let Richard Pryor Junior tell you what he had to say, because TMZ caught up to Richard Pryor Junior and they asked him about these allegations about Paul Mooney allegedly having had sex with him. WHOA, whatever happened in my life? It happened when I was young. Wait, wait, before the eighties. How could any relationship be consider I was real teenager. Lord have mercy. So he's not necessarily saying it's true about Paul Mooney, but he's not flat

out denying it. Now. Paul Mooney, for his defense, has flat out denied these allegations. He has said that there's no truth to anything that Rashaan comp Richard Pryor's ex bodyguard, had to say, and he's flat out saying it's not true. I don't know you decide for this. I don't know anything about any of this. All I know is Paul Mooney is the only interview we have never we have

chosen to never air on the Breakfast Club. No, it was that, and there was also I believe a Day's Love interview we never aired, but that's because it was terrible. Though had nothing to do it. I think that she was saying it was, and I'm sure it was a couple of Megals interviews early on that was really bad, just because they weren't ready we aired, though we at least put them up with Paul Mooney. We didn't. That was years ago to nine years ago. You're on the

air for almost nine years an eight years. He had some allegations against you in that interview, he had allegations against all of us. Paul Mooney said that I was in the Gate Club in the eighties. I'm like, old, do you think I am? Sorry? I hold you think I am. But he was just wilding that interview, Like it was like he was just angry about you. You got to put that out after he dies. I think that'd be a good one to release. You think we'll still be on me even more night? We still got

the content. Okay, Well I'm Angela yee and that is your rumor report. Yes, what I got coming? I don't know. Charlottamagne, Oh, we know you got Donkey of the Day on the way. Who are you giving your donkey two? In the eighties? That segment, Yeah, who was like giving my doctor when I was a child when I was a junior. Okay, so if I was in the Gate Club with Paul Mooney in the eighties, he's been messing with kids allegedly.

Right now, four after the hour, I want to talk to all of these people who have negative things to say about Janelle Money, who forced Janelle More apologize for no goddamn reason. Okay, let's talk about it. I was born to Donkey. It's the Donkey Devil Breakfast Club. Yes, Doncia today for Wednesday, August twenty eighth, goes to every single one of you who forced Janelle Mornee to apologize

for something she had no business apologizing over. Now I missed this in real time, but yesterday I saw an article on Madame Noir with the headline Janelle Monee apologizes for saying people should register to vote while they're waiting in line for a Popeye's chicken sandwich. Okay, now, I had no problem with that because it's a great idea and it's actually what a teenager name David Ledbetter did in Charlotte, North Carolina this weekend. Dropped on a Couis

bonds for David led Better. All right, he was in Charlotte this weekend and he pulled up to a Popeyes in the area to make sure people were registered to vote. Now, I saw people say, well, most of the people in the line were already registered to vote. You know what I say to that? So what okay? What does that have to do with anything. People who are registering others to vote don't know that people are already registered. Okay, And nor are they under the assumption that you're not registered.

Their job is to make sure you are registered, and if you're not, to get you registered. Okay, simple concept. And that's what David Ledbetter was doing. And that's what Janellemo and they suggested. Now, let me read to you what Jenellemo they tweeted. She put, perhaps we can put voting boosts at every Popeye's location. While we wait on that sandwich, you can register and vote. Now, I don't know about the voting boosts at every location part, but which team to set the woke? Can I put a

woke in parentheses? Woke community? Off was the while we wait on this sandwich, you can register the vote. Who could Janellemon they possibly be offending by tweeting that? Did that offend you, Angeline? I don't know if y'all notice or not. But for the next year, wherever there is a high number of people, you will see people all out registering folks to vote. You will see voter registration drives everywhere and the mall, movie theaters, libraries, neighborhood rallies, festivals,

farmer markets, oh and even your local Popeyes. It's a standard procedure for this time of people. So Janelle money suggesting isn't even a bright idea. It's just an idea that most people who are about that voter registration life

have all right't you go where the people are? A simple concept, but social media doesn't do simple because she got immediate backlash or should I say backlash because this is all black twitter And according to Madame the War, social media seemed to be annoyed by this tweet and reminded Janelle that black voter turnout has made a major impact in recent elections, Black women, specifically with the highest percentage of voters to turn out to try and keep

our celebrity in chief Donald Trump out of the White House. They also said that her comments overlooked the reality that voter suppression efforts are still a big issue in this country. Let's unpack those two things. As my therapist says, let's unpack this, all right. Number one, let's not assume that the only people online to get the chicken sandwich I Popeyes are black? All right? That social media is your first mistake. I honestly don't know who's in those lines

across the country. I have no idea. But let's not it has to be right. Let's not assume they are just all black. But if they are so wet, all right? You people are absolutely correct when you say black voter turnout has made major impact in recent local elections, and black women did show up for Hillary. But the facts are black voter turnout fell in twenty sixteen, all right, even as a record number of Americans cast ballots. This is a fact. In the twenty sixteen presidential election, black

voter turnout decreased and white turnout increased. These are all things you can google, people, Okay, White voter turnout in twenty sixteen sixty five point three percent, Black voter turnout fifty nine point six percent. First time black voter turnout for a presidential election has declined in twenty years now, mind you, in twenty twelve, black voter turnout reached a record high all right, sixty six point six percent. So in twenty sixteen, black voter turnout rate dropped seven percent

when Barack Obama was on the ballot. In twenty twelve, the black voter turnout surpassed that of white people for the first time. Google is your friend, bro. So when you see people putting an emphasis on black voters this year, whether it's getting in the register or if you are registered, getting you out to vote, this is the reason why. Now as far as people saying her comments overlook voter suppression, listen, Voter suppression is a real issue. That's why we should

all support Stacey Abrams Fair Fight twenty twenty. I've gotten on this radio and said, I don't know why American people aren't raising holy hell about the fact that it's been proving Russians interfere with our elections. And Mitch McConnell, even with this knowledge, has shot down to election security bills. So yes, the fight may be fixed on a lot of levels. And until we can do something about election security and voter suppression, democracy as we know it is day.

But what the hell does voter suppression have to do with voter registration. Okay, voter suppression won't even affect you if you're not registered to vote. And if you are registered to vote, but you choose to sit home because you don't like any of the candidates, guess what. Voter suppression doesn't affect you then either either. Okay, you know why, because voter suppression only affects voters. My god, Janelle Money, you better to be because I would have told these

people to suppress these nuts in their mouth. All right, what, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Okay, I'm sorry. Okay, let me rephrase. Janelle won't know you better than me because I would have told these people to suppress these walnuts in their mouth. Hey, all right, but Janelle is a better human than I am, because she apologized, all right. She tweeted out, you know, when other people say things on here that are wrong or misguided, I wonder why they don't just admit they're

wrong and learn from it. So I'm going to do that now. I think the tweet that I posted about registering and voting were insensitive and wrong. Specifically, they ignored ignored very real issues of voter suppression that have impacted my community for years and me directly. Thanks to all of you for calling me out. I'm not reading any more this. No, Janelle, you are not wrong, all right. Just because people are outraged doesn't mean they are right.

Just because you receive a bunch of backlash doesn't mean you were wrong. And this era of group think and social media mobs, everybody is preaching to the choir because they don't want to get attacked. That's why you can't trust with anyone is saying. They're only saying what you want to hear because they don't want to offend. F that say what you mean and mean when you say, Janelle, if you are actually wrong and they schooled you, cool, But you're not wrong. These people are just too woke.

And I hate wokeness, all right. I wan't woke people to get some sleep. I sleep well at night because I meditate, I do CBD, and because I'm at peace with myself. I love sleep. I don't want to be woke all the time. I want my eight hours. And some of you woke folk need your rest. You've been woke too long and it's starting to affect your emotional incognitive behavior, all right. You so woke you don't even realize how tired y'all. Aw, y'all just tired, tired ass ideologies,

tired ass tweet, tired ass logic, tired ass outrage. Y'all. Twitter is just tired now. I was watching Bill mart this weekend and they had a convo about social media Twitter specifically. Do we have this clip ready? This is Bill Maher talking about social media outrage Bill Mart his panel. Let's hear it. One problem with today is that we try to resolve these issues in the worst possible place,

which is twittery. I mean, how much more meaningful is the conversation of a group of people sitting around the table who disagree with each other but can be there face to face and a real social infrastructure. Yeah, having an interaction. I immersus doing it in this place that takes us from serious such a sliver of people, and it doesn't represent the vast majority, even of liberals. I don't understand as that charity stand up to cancer. I

want to start stand up to Twitter. That's right, David, Please give all those fake outraged people on social media who made them when they apologize the biggest he hall. I can't believe she didn't realize that it's sold out? What the chicken sandwiches stopping you? All right? Well, thank you so much, Charlabe for that Donkey of the dead. And if you're mad at me, my aunt is a seat to God on Twitter ctcha good or at sea to God on Instagram. I don't check tow it anyway,

So slander go ahead. I love this type of stuff. But asking you what coming up? We have asked you to ask you, ask you what we do twice. God, you're only been doing this show for eight years. When you got coming up and ask you probably people asking questions. That's right. One hundred five and five one oh five one. You got a question for Angela ye, call up right now and ask us to breakfast club, the breakfast club. What's up? It's Angela, yeah, and it's time for asking.

Eight hundred five and five one oh five one is a number if you have any questions now right now we haven't read on the line. What's up, Red? Good morning? How are you feeling? Good morning? Red? What's your issue? Okay? I'm dealing with two females right one I'm dealing with sexual and the other one that we're just friends. The one that i'm dealing with sexual is jealous of the one that I'm not having sex with it because I'm like helping her out as far as like they shooting

their kids. You know what I'm saying, Like if she didn't even to do anything for, I got her back. But I also have the girl that I'm having sex what I have up back too. But she feels like that I'm putting her second. Okay, couple of things here. The girl that you're having sex with, is that your girlfriend or just some girl you randomly have sex with sometimes like she's I guess you could save my girl friend. See all right, So this already sounds like part of

the issue. She doesn't even know where her place is in your life here, she do because I explained to this, explained this to her before we even got involved, you know what I mean? So what are you guys? Is it? Are you just involved? Are you just having sex? Because I'm still not sure what's happening here. The girl that I'm having sex with were in a relationship, all right, So why don't you say that? Why do you keep just calling her the girl you're having sex with? She's

just girl friends? Here? Put it like that. But the other friend, which is real cool, Like we've never had any sexual nothing, and my girlfriend is jealous of that. Do they know each other well? Do they? Are they around each other? Now? My friend wants to meet, but my girlfriend don't want them meet. So it's just like right,

you know, And I'm gonna tell you this. I know where you're coming from, mad because I do have guy friends who I've never been in any type of relationship with, never had any situation, and I have had their female friends have issues with it, but after the time when they see that a your friend isn't going anywhere, and I think they also have to feel comfortable around you. So like one of my best friends, that's a guy,

he's married and his wife loves me. We get along great, and I don't know how she felt about me at first because they were just getting to know each other. And I've known him since we were you know, probably about fourteen years old or maybe younger than that. No, since we were like fourteen years old, So I've been in his life for a long time. How long have you known this woman that you do a lot of things for that that you're not sleeping with. We've been friends,

We've been friends for life. About four or five years now, Okay, you're not attracted to her in any way, that's just your friend. Yeah, nothing textful, none of that. Yeah, so I think you'd love me to death. I love her kids, we all get along. But my girlfriend, she's like, are you putting this person? Would? I'm like, WHOA, Yeah, that's not That's not a good sign. Somebody can't be jealous of your friends. And she's gonna have to get to know her, and you're gonna have to initiate that happening.

And if she doesn't want to meet her, that's on her. But I always do feel it's a bad sign when somebody is insanely jealous and won't be open minded about friendships that you have that are harmless. But I will say, on your behalf, you have to make the quote girl who you're sleeping with feel more secure because even how you explain who she is to me, it makes me feel like she doesn't have any meaning in your life. So she also might be feeling and life real life

people looked read I feel you. But even how you express who she is to me, it wasn't like my girlfriend or the woman I'm dating. It was the woman I have sex with. And so I think it's important to make her feel secure in your relationship because you do have to take into consideration her feelings and there might be some ways that you're not making her feel like she's secure in her space. So y'all need to have that conversation and you need to say, look, this

is my friend. She's not going where a rush you and my woman, and I care about how you feel, and I don't want you to feel a way about things. I would love for you to meet her. If you're still uncomfortable after that, we'll have a conversation about it and figure out how to move forward. But I want you to make an effort. Okay, that's cool because this other girl, I mean, my girlfriend. She's kind of confusing me though, because she's like one meeting she wanted to meet,

and then then she don't. So it's just like, oh no, man, yeah, just set it up. And also, I will say this about when you're in a relationship and you do have friends of the opposite sex, you know, do set some parameters like listen, I don't want my girlfriend to feel away, so let's not do any phone calls after a certain time. And I think that's appropriate and she shouldn't want to do that either. She should watch your woman to fail secure up. That's your friend. Yeah, true that plus my

lady friends she works third ship so light. We don't have no communication for real, except when I go watch the kids though that was an issue too. Oh you gotta watch your kids and loose woop like well, her kids follows the novel around one's deceive and other two just ain't in the picture, so right, I mean yeah, And so maybe that's something that you know, your girl will get to know her, get to know her kids, and maybe she'll want to help out also. But I

think you gotta incorporate everybody together. Cool. Thank you that, y'all. Have a good morning. I love y'all. Listen to y'all every day. All right, we love you too. D tell you a girl, don't be mad? All right? By okay? All right, it's asked You eight hundred five five one or five one is the number. If you have any questions, you can ask ye on angela Ye day on the Breakfast Club. What's up? It's the Breakfast Club and it's time for asked You. Today is Wednesday. It's August twenty eight.

It's Angela ye day and now we have Melissa on the line. What's up, Melissa? Hi, Hi you guys, Hey girl, Hey, I just have a question which you might not be able to answer because it's kind of crazy. But essentially, I have a daughter outside of my marriage. She's ten years old. My husband and I have been married for four years, and my daughter asked me to change her last name to my husband's last name. She's never had

her biological father's last name at all. It's always been mine, okay, So we brought it off to him, and his thing is, well, she's my child. So I feel like, if you do anything, you should hysenate the name and put my name first

and being your husband. And I just don't know if I agree with it, because my daughter's were reason for changing her last name and so that she has the same last name as everyone in her household, right me and my husband right so, and he's she's never even had her father's last name, her biological father's m no. And I do really feel like, and I think you should take into consideration what the biological father has to say, but ultimately it is something that is more about your

daughter and not about his ego. That's what I was thinking too, and I was trying to, you know, think about his feelings about it. But then I was like, you honestly didn't step up to the plate until my husband came into the picture for or five years ago. I think that how old is your daughter's Okay, she's ten. I think it should be something that your daughter kind

of more has the decision on. This is something that is going to affect her, and so when it comes to her, just ask her, be like, would you how do you want to do this? I had a conversation, you know, with your biological father and maybe that, and you know, and you ask her this is what he suggested. But I know you said you want to have our last name, but you want to hypenat it or do you want to have justice last name? And see what

she has to say. Let her have some inputs so she can feel like she's making a decision also, but ultimately it is for her more than it is for him. Oh yeah, I completely agree. I already asked her already, I was like, what about hypenating with your dad's name and then our name? And she just bought out and said no, I don't want his name in my name. Okay, Well there's your answer. All right. Well, thank you guys so much. Okay, you're welcome. All right, ask ye that

is ask you for today. Now coming up, we got Rumor Report and we'll be talking about Young Thug. One of his ex classmates talks about him punching a teacher in the face. All right, we got all that more coming up on the world more Dangerous Morning Short to Breakfast Club, The Breakfast Club. Yeah, it's the world most Dangerous Morning Short to Breakfast Club. Charlomagne and got Angelie ye DJMVS on VK right now. But it's time for the Room of Report and we're gonna talk about Young

Thug being well a young thug. It's about the rumor report Angela Gee on the Breakfast Club. Yes, apparently DC Young Flying Young Doug went to school together in Atlanta. I knew that. And DC Young Fly did an interview with No Jumper and he really and he talks about Young Doug really living up to his name. Here's what he said. That's my guy from him from Macney. No, I'm on to school and him too. Really, yeah, a lot of produced, a lot of he a real one.

Fuck was the teaching ain't grady now your kid? That I forgot? The teacher says, some the thug I think grabbed him like you know, you know it's a child. You scared? Are you like? Why? So he he popped his head walked out the room. Bro The teacher walked out the rum out, LADSI we've seen it all right, So there you have it. He's always been that way, I guess he really that's where the dressed to hype the stick. Listen, we've all terrorized teachers in our dad,

you know what I mean? No, we all have not. We haven't. No, we've all done to terrorize our teachers. I never punched the teacher, and we've all terrorized done some wild things the teachers. I've seen people putdification under teacher's noses. You did that. I didn't do that. My cousin did that. My cousin told him what the teacher he said, you got someone you know? She was like where and he was like right there, right there, and he had dug button. He put right the fact that

he does. But it's disturbing. It is middle school. I didn't butt in middle school either. Oh that's a lie. I never dug but I still haven't to this day. Dug my butt? You never? You never scratched your butt? That's different, you said, dug in You know what I mean when I mean digging, like do you nobody ever scratched the inside of day? No? I have never crazy. Oh, we're crazy, okay, I know. Let's do that poll. Have you ever scratched the inside of your boy? Shook one?

We're crazy? Have you ever scratched the inside of your hole? No? That's why I put the pole up for you though. Yes, all right now, Kobe Bryant, he says that Shack would have helped them win twelve rings if he wasn't so lazy. Check it out. Who would Shack be? If he had your work ethic, he'd be the greatest of all time for sure. I mean this guy was a force like I have never seen. I mean, it was crazy. Yeah, I wish he was in a Jim would have had

twelve rings. By the way, I'm not asking this question to create few between you and am You don't care listen to me. I mean Shaq talked to sit down all the time. When I say, dude, if you're lazy ass's been shaved. They didn't even played twelve seasons together. How the hell they're gonna win twelve rings. I guess he was over exaggerating, and maybe I'm taking this a

little too literally. I see what he's saying, though, because raincount matters, and Kobe has five, So if he had seven, because he did go to the seven finals, he probably would be considered the greatest of all time, even though people say Kobe was always doing a bad Michael Jordan impersonation, but you have to be really great to do a Michael Jordan impersonation. Right, Well, they did win three championships together, all right. And in addition to that, he also talked

about a fist fight they had. I knew for sure. Rick Fox, my teammate say All, thought I was absolutely crazy the day me and Shot got in the fist fight. After that day, they were like, Okay, Kobe, you're certifiable, And for Shot too. He's told me that that day was a big turning point for him because it was, like, you know, he's generally used to talking trash and saying what he wants and nobody really stepping up and challenging him on that, and when he saw me challenging him

on that. He was like, this kid's crazy, all right, who knew they were fist fighting? And now let's talk about Pete Davidson. Comedian Pete Davidson. He went to the University of Central Florida to do a show. It was a back to school show for kids coming back to school or maybe this the first time on campus as freshman. And he got a little irate at the audience because they were using their cameraphones check it out for people who actually wanted you here. That's it's like, wait, you

were the one fielding anymore. That's one word saying. That's one of them says no falls, you know, all right, So people were not taking too kindly to how he treated, uh, the audience. I don't see the problem though. I Mean, I've seen comedians flip out on people for recording the show, and I think that one thing that the audience doesn't understand, if that is these comedians livelihood. These comedians got, you know, stand up specials that they're going to do probably for

other networks. They go on the road and they say the same material. They can't have it all over the internet. Well, he apparently called them privileged little a holes and then he called them idiots and morons and told them to grow up. It's kind of weird when you have when you insult your audience at times. Yeah. Before so they were tweeting, if you saw I Pete Davison tonight, we all came out of this uncomfortable ass experience closer together.

That's what one of the tweets were from the funniest part about that is that's all sweet that I said, how dare you come to talk to millennials like that? As if Pete isn't twenty four years old? They sounded like a grumpy old man. Hey man, he's he's been through a lot, all right. And Leslie Jones is leaving Saturday Night Live moving on, Yes, and apparently she's not coming back because she's got a lot more things on

He talks to her in the mix, right, and I used to do a ye mix, I mean
