Good morning morning. Everybody is DJ mvy Angela yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are to breakfast Club. Let's get in

some front page news now. Monday night football the Kansas City Chiefs beat the Charges twenty four seventeen. Now what else were talking about? Easy? Well, Bill Gates is once again the richest person in the world. He has a net worth up one hundred and ten billion dollars. Elizabeth Warren got planned for that goddamn money. Take that she sure does now. Jeff Bezos was previously the richest man in the world, but now Bill Gates is back on top.

So Bezos had to actually hey out a significant portion of his Amazon steak and his divorce from his wife of twenty five years, and he is second with the net worth of one hundred eight point seven billion dollars. So they're neck and neck, all right, a little bit, Warren got planned for your money to Jeff Basos, all right. At Syracuse University, they have suspended fraternity activities after there

have been some racist incidents as of late. So apparently there was a group of fraternity members and their guests that subjected allegedly a black student to a verbal racial epithet on Saturday night, and they said there's been several attacks on marginalized communities at the school, including other racial slurs spoken and in graffiti around the campus. They said African Americans and Asians were reported at the student residence building,

Day Hall. Slurs against them were reported at day Hall, and the Daily Newspaper actually reported the news and Renegade magazine, which is a platform for black college students, said that these incidents also involved the N word, And they said on Wednesday, November sixth, in Day Hall, not only did someone take out all the light pictures and put them in the toilets, they brought the end across the bathrooms

on both floors. And there was also some type of white supremacist manifesto that was posted online and air dropped to several cell phones of individuals at the library. Oh well, you're a passive, aggressive racist coward because he can't say it to nobody's face. He got an air dropped messages and spray graffiti on things. All right. In Chick fil A, will no longer donate to anti LGBTQ organizations. They're making major changes, and that is to the Salvation Army and

the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. Both organizations have taken controversial stands on homosexuality and same sex marriage, so they are no longer going to donate to those. Oh that popat is chicken sandwich is kicking the ass boy dropping a clue, that Pope chicken sandwich ending homophobia. All right. In burger case, it's being sued by vegans, and that's for the impossible burger because impossible burgers are actually cooked on the same

grill as their regular burger. I love it. So it's supposed to be a veg An alternative, but then you can't sit there and grill them on the same grill as meat. By product, I love it. They're gonna get some money too, and they're gonna get some Why, well, they never said they were gonna grill it on a different grill. They just said it was what the burger was, sabotage. If you're vegan, you're not supposed to eat. You gotta

read the five print. There's no fine print with five prinks because they didn't say they were gonna get They just said they're gonna give you the meaty park And if I have some, you know when I used to eat turkey bakon, if that turkey baking was on the same grill as a pork, boy, you don't any times you probably eate and didn't even know that.

Good morning, the breakfast Club. Just oh gosh, reports with Angela.

Angela report the Breakfast Club. Well. J Low was named g q's Man of the in the Men of the Year issue. She was named the Icon of the Year, and she talked about making the movie Hustler. She acted in it, produced it, and she said she did it all for free. She said, I do things because I love them. I didn't get paid a whole bunch of money for Hustlers. I did it for free and produced it. I bank on myself. That's the Jenny from the black. I do what I want, I do what I love.

So she didn't get that upfront money. But I'm going back in. She got paid. She's made a lot of money. It only took them thirty three million to make that movie. They made over a hundred million dollars. She produced that movie. She got paid, she got a back end, she could probably got a piece of some some equity in the movie. She gets a good back end. Come on, Jenny, all right, But what she's saying is that she banked on herself. She didn't get that upfront money. She didn't get paid

for it necessarily. Just imagine if things wouldn't have worked out and then you end up taking a loss. But fortunately it is. It's still a risk, right, and they did work out. Yeah, I'd rather bet on myself in that way. I mean, listen to the cast to get out got paid because a lot of them took back in money. Yeah, So it's still a risk when you first get into it. You never know what's going to happen. All right, Now, fifty cent, a lot of people were

talking about his Instagram account getting deactivated. Well, he said that he himself actually turned his page off. According to fifty. He said, Eloa, I'm cool with all these false reports. If you don't know why something happens, you can't just make some ish up. I turned my own Instagram page off, suckers, So I guess he was just taking a break from Instagram. And he's been on Twitter a lot, and I guess

he's trying to build up his Twitter page. He had said, I like Twitter better than IG right now follow me over there. So there you have it all right. Little Zane said he suffered seizures while he was going through his drug with Drau. He went Cold Turkey from zan X after he had a relapse and a major health scare. And here's what he said happened as he was detoxing. I was in a hospital like from because I had stopped taking drugs because I'm Cold Turkey, because I didn't

want to be on drugs anywhere. But the weird drugs actually gave me seizures because like, I wanted to stop drugs completely, but I did it the wrong way. You know, I'm completely sobering now. Basically a little people in mac Miller that really got me off that stuff. Yes, sir, it's called a drug withdraw Also kids. This is why you don't choose rap names based off whatever you're drugging. Choice here is at the moment, because what happens after

you get cleaned? Can you still call yourself lots an? That's that's another one of my anxieties. You talk about, I got five kids and one of them get hooked on drugs, even though you know you never know what happens, but you just never want that situation. You know it's good for anxiety. Lannox shut all right, Now, Jah Rule has been legally cleared in the whole fire festival lawsuits. So good for him. Dare you go shout the job

rule man? So the judge did dismiss an appeal that was filed by the fire festival attendees through the law firm that was throwing them. They wanted to get him back into a one hundred million dollar class action lawsuit that was filed against Billy McFarland, who was the fire Festival Fire Festival co founder, and they did side with job Rule in that. So now he is legally clear from that whole lawsuit. His name is not on that lawsuit. And there you have a congratulations, Job Rule lesser win.

You can't hold y'all rule down. Damn it all right? Now, Kylie Jenner has sold majority ownership of her cosmetics company and she sold it for a nice amount of money. She sold it for six hundred million dollars. Wow, I love it. I love that entrepreneur. Why not she's gonna create another company. I love it. So it still doesn't mean that she doesn't have anything to do with it.

She just sold off a majority of that, so she still be behind all of the creative efforts and communications initiatives, so they're still going to use her social media and everything. And she said, this partnership will allow me and my team to stay focused on the creation and development of each product while building the brand into an international beauty powerhouse.

And she's only twenty two years old. Man, congratulations to her. Now, since we're talking about her, let's talk about Chloe Kardashian. Looks like she's doing her own show with her daughter. True, So she did tease the possibility of a new TV show, but the way it's gonna air is not on television. Looks like she's gonna do it online and it'll be short five to seven minute videos, so it's not going to be like full episodes like the Kardashians or like

her other spin offs have been. This will be just her and her daughter taking the world together, So the show will be primarily shot at her house. She is still very young, and every now and then, I guess he'll go out and quote take on the world together and their adventures as mother and daughters. The platform, Alana is that quy because Quibby is the new platform online that you can watch things in those short forms like that, like they got like short form movies and TV shows.

They haven't said where it's going to be yet, they haven't shared those details. They haven't shared when it's going to start, but they do want to get it out there pretty quickly, probably Quimby. That's what Offsets got a show on Quimby, That's what Antoine food Quad doing a movie quickly, tith of doing a movie over there is a Snapchat doing movies also in shows. I'm not sure. I don't know because aren't they doing that whole Takashi

on Snapchat. I have no idea. What if they are that smart like, because I think that's actually the future, those scripted short form shows because people just be sitting around watching things on their phone. You're not gonna watch a thirty minute show on your phone, but you're watching seven to ten minutes. Yeah. Snapchat has Takashi six nine versus the World. It's a docu series that's going to run on there. All right, is he coming out? So because I thought I've seen something that said he'd be

home in thirty one days? Is that true? I haven't heard that. I haven't been keeping the Takashi six nine watch Envy. You should I'm sorry, Okay, yeah, you should be watching that. Any should be watching it. You should be watching. I don't have no countdown clock for Takashi thinks nine going. Okay, all right, when I'm Angela yee and that is your report? All right, miss ye. Now when we come back front page news. What we're talking about you, Well, a teacher in Maryland got arrested after

fighting with a student. All Right, we'll get into that in the next hour. Lena, waithe will be joining us. All I used to keep it locked. It's the breakfast Club. Good morning, Good morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela ye, Charlomagne, the guy We all to breakfast Club. Let's getting some front page news. Now when Monday Night football. The Kansas

City Chiefs beat the charges last night, twenty four seventeen. Now, what else are we talking about you, Well, let's talk about a teacher in Maryland who was arrested after fighting with the students. Now, this happened at Largo High School in Upper Marlborough, Maryland. According to the police reports, they said there was physical contact between the teacher and the student before the assault. They said the students stepped on the teacher's foot and bumped into her, and the teacher

then engaged in a physical assault of that student. They said the nature of that assault was extraordinarily violent and that conduct is criminal in nature. So right now the teacher has been fired and it's being charged or facing charges of physical child abuse and second degree assault. They said. Detectives are also pursuing charges against the student in the juvenile court system. The student was in Spanish class and she told the detective she wanted to talk to the

teacher Nora. I'm trying to pronounce her name right, Nori, about an email her mother received the night before the student's behavior. The girl told place the teacher wouldn't speak with her without a third party because the student was being hostile. Let me talk to the students, Let me talk to you outside, miss, and the students started following her around the room trying to get her to talk. She told her to sit down several times, but she

didn't because she wanted answers. And the girl said she accidentally stepped on the teacher's foot while following her around and bumped into her shoulder as she pushed past her to leave the room, and that's when the teacher got into raised struck her in the back of the head several times with a closed fist snuckle, then kicked her, threw her to the ground, and continued to punch her. Oh man, why she didn't give it a head one and fight a square up? Why she got to punch

you in the back of the head. So they said, at least thirty students and eight administrators are part of the investigation, and they actually did jump in to break up the fight. Wow, come on, now, you can't. This is crazy. I would have reputed the back of the head three How old would they would be? A high school student? So she's seventeen years old. I would have respected it if data fast straight up, But she snucked that young lady in the back of the head. You'll stop.

It should be sneaking those students in the back of the head at all. You guys have kids in school. You shouldn't be sneaking nobody. That's why I don't sneak people, man, give them, give them the straight up, fair one. She asked you to come outside. Miss She came here and she said, miss, I need to talk to you. By sending those emails to my mom, Okay, come here, let me talk to you. Ain't want to talk, and then you want sneaking from behind. She needs to be fired

for that. And problem as we've been seeing lately, a lot of this going on in the schools with the teachers fighting the students. Have you ever witnessed that in school? I have never, but it's getting the point. You step on teacher's foot, you burple teacher like a teachers a person too. They just snapped, it's not right. Yeah, I do what happens. That's so funny. I do remember in fourth grade, and it's so weird how back then this

was normal. But we did have a teacher who used to man handle students in the class, Like I remember watching this woman man handle a couple of students in fourth grade, like dragging them around the classroom. Yeah, you cannot do that. Come on, I'm sure you was one of them. No, she never put hands on me. She didn't put I've seen her putting on a couple of

people though. Yeah, you don't want your kids to go to school in an environment where the teachers are beating up the students or it is born to please man, tell your kids, watch they back because these teachers are sneaking them in the back of their head. Now he not even giving them straight up, they're not even giving But I will say, even for teachers and for educators, you shouldn't have to go to school and feel threatened by the students. That's true. They have to figure out

what can happen. What are we supposed to do about this? All right? And Donald Trump is strongly considering testifying at the impeachment hearings. He actually made that suggestion while he was tweeting because Nancy Pelosi challenged him to testify to her, saying that he should come on and testify. I thought that the whole point of impeachment proceedings. He's the one

on trial. Well, the hearing is right. Now, they're actually talking to people who have witnessed things, who heard these conversations, the whistle blowers, all of those people who are involved. So he can come before the committee and talk if he wants to, or he could do it in writing, and he has every opportunity to present his case, and he can't do that, so I guess he's considering it. Sure, you're the one being impeached. Yes, I wonder if that'll

help him him talking. I don't know, all right. And Burger King is being sued by vegans for the impossible burger, and that's because they are actually making those burgers on the same girl with the regular meet. So there's some outraged vegans that have been complaining online and now there

is a lawsuit, they say the lawsuit. According to this lawsuit, it says Burger King has no disclosures on its menu that would notify a customer prior to the purchase of the impossible burger impossible whopper that it was cooked in a manner that would result and meat byproducts on the burgers. So they want them to stop cooking impossible burgers and the reginald burgers on the same girl. I don't know anything about this because I don't eat that Burger King.

But from what I've gathered from our listeners, they do have a disclosure up there. That's what I said, the fine print. Yeah, it tells you to me. And I don't know if that's true or not either. I'm just telling you what. Some of the listeners called up and said, our our sources to Breakfast Club said that they do have disclosures up there. I don't know if that's true enough, they said, you have to ask, that's what they I haven't been a Burger King in years, so and you know,

it's crazy. I thought about going because they have that the impossible whoppers. All right, Yeah, Burger King ain't got no draws for me. Like it's like when McDonald's. McDonald's have the fries draw you gonna get them Hot fries from McDonald isn't nothing Burger King. I got to have the long long chicken sandwich. It's good. Though. You think I would go to Burger King for a chicken sandwich, I'm just saying, if you're in the area, that's the

only thing you got. I won't even go to Popeyes for a chicken sands it's perfectly good chick fil as out here that aren't donating the anti LGBT community organizations anymore. And I'm gonna get a chicken sands from Burger King.

You just like it because it's long. See now, now, I was kinky man about the time today dot com and when the when the Impossible Whippers first came out, they did say that Burger King acknowledges the impossible patties are flame grilled on the same broiler as it's chicken and beef products. So they have said that before. See there you go when you bite into that long chicken sandwich to use both hands or you just use one hand.

All right, and that's your front page news. It's wrong with you now when we come back, why you want to you kinky over there, man, you're real kinky over there. Man. Now you don't understand that this this is crazy, ridiculous, Okay, all right, ridiculous, right, all right, when we come back, lean don't wait to be joining us. We'll kick it with Lena Waits to don't move. It's the Breakfast Club.

I think, to me, I'm just sort of evolving as an artist and really trying to leave my mark and plant my flag and really just do it for us.

Though you know, I said the other day, I was like, I love black people unconditionally, and I think, um, a lot of my work is gonna be to make sure people remember that we were here for people that don't know.

What's the premises of Queen and Slim. Yeah, it's basically a black man and a black woman are on a first date attended date, yeah, and it's not going great, but it's not going horribly either, And on the way home, they get pulled over by a police officer and things escalate pretty quickly and they ultimately end up killing the police officer in self defense and they make the decision

to run. Um, and what happens is it's really about it's really a meditation on blackness, and it's about about how black people live in this world, always searching for freedom, always trying to justify the space that we take up. And uh, and it really it was a sort of story that came from somewhere deep down in my soul. And I'm really I really kind of put my my body, my blood. I swept my tears onto the celluloid. Molina Matsuka is directed the hell out of the movie. Daniel

Kaloya is phenomenal. We're introducing a new actress, Jody Turner Smith. Uh. It really in the soundtrack is like you know crazy that's available right now Spotify and iTunes. We got Lauren Hill to come and do something new for us. So it really is like the blackest movie that I think it's gonna come out this year. It sounds like a new like a new version of Bonnie and which I like because one thing I always hate is when black people always compare themselves the Bonnie and Clyde. All Right,

I mean, well that's the thing for us. Here's the thing. When you see the movie, you'll see that that the Bonnie and Clyde comparison is only skin deep. There not people who kind of like say, oh, we're gonna take on you know, we're gonna just come out here and be criminals. They're really just two black folks living their lives. Now, how hard is it to get a movie like this made?

Because when you go to the theater and you go to the studio and you're like, look, black guy killing a cop at a traffic stock, Like, well, here's the interesting thing, and this is really I want to you know, make sure this a narrative is clear. It was not difficult to get the movie made. They came out for us.

I knew I wanted Malina to direct it because because I was working on it while we were filming the Things given episode and we had just bonded and like vibed and just who she is and how her brain works, and based on what I was writing, I was like, Malina, Malina got to direct this. So when I even mentioned the tour while we were filming, I was like, yeah, I got this movie, man, I want you to direct it.

And she's like okay, okay, okay, we'll see. So sure enough I finished the script and I ended up having dinner with Daniel Cluya and um and I just finished it and Daniel are what you're working? I was like, oh, finish this movie about these two black people they kill

a cop, say less. It's like, I want to read it, and so I was like okay, and just he just wanted to read it for and giggles, and he did and then he did emailed me and was like I gotta be slim and I was like, oh, okay, well, I'm very full added by that, I was like, but Molina got to read it first, and then if she decides to make this her first movie, she and I have to decide who Quinn is them are gonna be together.

So if you don't mind, like way to be, let her read it and then I'll have her come to you. And that's what happened. She read it and was like, yeah, yeah, this is my first film. I was like, okay. Then Kaluia want to be slim and she was like, I don't know, man, I don't think Daniel Kluia is our slim. And I was like, I know I did. I wouldn't have thought of him either, I said, but just I don't know. You should talk to him, all right, I'll

give him five minutes. So she goes and sits with him for five minutes and then but it turns into five hours. And then she offers him to roll at the table. And then all these studios like lined up and was like, what do we gotta do to get it? And I was like, well, I want final cut, point blame period. What does that mean for us people who don't know final cut means we don't we get the

final say and what is on that screen? I get to find saying what was on the page, and me and Malina get say what was on the screen, which is rare for first time filmmakers. I said, I want to shoot it and release it in the same year because it's urgent. I said, I want a fat budget because I don't believe that black people should be sitting in the the back of the bus when it comes to cent them up. We should know these small budgets to make big movies. And I said, I don't believe in

test screenings. And test screenings are what happens when they showed the movie to a test audience and they say, oh, I didn't get this or I didn't understand that I was like one, I only will do one test screening.

It should be one hundred percent black audience. And what they say, I shouldn't have to be beholden to put it into the movie because sometimes we as a people may not be ready for certain things and say, oh I didn't like that or I didn't get this, Like let me give you something you may not know you need yet. So and Donna Langley was like, you got all that if it means you'll give us the movie. That's how they were like, we what can we do?

They were sending us gifts, they were like writing us notes. They were calling me on my cell phone. HEAs a studios and I was like, yo, Molina, these white people want this movie. So I was like, let's let's make our demands. Let's come up with our list and that was our list and Universal make ready. They were all like boom and also said I won't take a note

from a white person on this word. Was the inspiration something that you were involved with the police getting pulled over or was just everything that's going It could have been something that she dealt with when she got pulled over. And the funny thing is I haven't been in a scenario and the one that was Queen and Slim are in Like, you know, I've been pulled over before, but but no, it was really this um this this author James Fry, He's just you know, he's a guy who

comes up with ideas and stuff. He came up to me at a party and was like, yo, I have an idea for a movie that I can't write at a different title, he had a different outline. I said, I don't want none of that. I said, I want that seed of an idea and I want to build the tree. So I was like, but I was you know, I'm a fair person. So I was like, I would share a story about credit with you. I was like, but I'm gonna take it and go write this thing. He was like, all right, cool, we have at it.

And so I went and really started developing Quinn and Slim and and my biggest north stars were she would be Malcolm X and he would be Martin Luther king about in the movie they swap place. A lot of people like to say Lena Wave doesn't write. Why do they say that I have no idea? I think it's interesting because people see me a lot. They see me as an actor. They see me as a producer, and I think it may be difficult for folks to think, like, oh,

she's also writing scripts and she's doing that thing. But that's really who I am. Before like the acting gigs became, you know, a part of my life, I was gonna see myself a writer first. Do you like to stardom? Meaning do you like being a star? Because it's like, yo, when you see Leny like Leana got the aesthetics of a star. But do you like that role? Not always? You know, it's tough, you know when things happen on your shows and you gotta you know, call you and

have those conversations. You know, it's there is a pressure that comes with that because there's a thing about you know, I believe in this world we like to have God's immortals, and I just feel like that can be a little dangerous because when you look at someone who is flush and bone just like you, but yet you expect them to act like a god. If things can get tricky, and I think you guys, how many times if somebody come and sat in this chair and they're like, Okay,

this thing happened or I messed up here? The truth is We're all human beings trying to figure it out. None of us are perfect, and I think that's the thing that connects us actually is our humanity. Um. But the reason the part of the stardom I do like is the fact that I get to shed light on so many artists who I think are amazing, who people may not otherwise care to look at her. Pay attention to all. We got more with lenaways when we come back,

don't move. It's the breakfast club cood morning. Oh lord, just made another one, Hi backing the mail is gone. I got a smell colonge. Yeah, I just do the dere lamon. Yeah, yeah, I go out.

Yeah yeah, I go out won't good good play. If you want the stude, I'm in your CEO shoot yeah yeah, Yeah. Morning. Everybody is DJ

Envy and Julie. Charlomagne, the guy we all the breakfast club was still kicking it with Lena. Wait, now, you mentioned being a store and you said you had to call up here and straighten some things out. Let's let's break that down. So you call Charlemagne one time. I know what we were going at the time. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That was when Jason Mitchell was released from the shot and you called up to explain what was going on? Right, And I know people were like, oh, Lena, what's talking

to the circle? She was saying a lot. But a big reason why is because here's the deal. I wasn't there, and I hear from you know, different people, you know about their side of the story, and everybody's side is different. So to me, I didn't feel like it was right to try to speak for someone or try to say, well, this is this is what happened, because for where I'm sitting,

I wasn't. I wasn't there when it went down. So all I can say it's like, look, here's what I can do to ensure that I don't have that happen again. And that's what I asked people. It's like, look, hold me accountable. And we have a thing now. We have intimacy coordinators on every single set of a show that I'm either written or I'm an EP on, which means they're there there's there any sensitive scenes, any sort of

intimate scenes. They're there to be the liaison for us and actors, so that way the actors always feel completely safe and comfortable. And the big thing I've done with every single actor and I have a lot of projects I'm involved in. UM I always thought say everybody has my number, like my door is always open. Never feel like you can't come talk to me. So for me, I feel like I've grown so much from it and I've evolved so much because of it that to me,

it's like I'm supposed to take hits. It's yeah, you're supposed to. You you have to. But I think, to me, it makes me stronger, it makes me more educated, Like I've educated myself so much about what it means to have a safe set. And the cool thing is, because I've gone through that, I've been able to talk to a lazing times up and have conversations with folks about how to make sure their sets can be even safer. So for me, it really was a thing that opened up my eyes and it was a lesson that I

welcome with open arms. Did you get a chance to watch Jason Mitchell on the Breakfast? Come? Yeah, I did? I did. What did you think? Yeah? I mean I thought, to me, it seems as if he's really trying to work on himself. And he seemed to acknowledge, you know, some things, uh, some things I didn't know about things so he talked about so yeah, And also I always

wanted him to speak because again I'm not him. I wasn't there and I wanted to hear too, you know, because I didn't hear I, Like he said, he don't have really got a chance to chat. So he still doesn't really understand why. I don't think he was let go from the shy or desperado, right, I don't think he understand me held himself accountable, he said, he does not show exactly the reason what it is he did. Yeah, desperado,

I really can't speak to um you know. And and but even the shy thing is what I try to tell people. It's like, I don't own the shy. When you create a TV show and you in something you you celebrate about a network saying he ever were gonna make it. But what's happening is they when you're selling a thing that you created to someone else so they

can distribute it. So I now lose ownership. So if they say that's why remind people they have the power to fire me because technically I'm an employee of that studio now. Um. And so they told me, hey, you know, this is what's going on. And I was like, okay, Like let's make sure that no one on our set feels like unsafe or uncomfortable. Um. But but that was a decision that the studio made. Like it wasn't like Showtime said, oh we're about to do this. It's like no,

the studio is pays for everything. They own it and they licensed them show out to showtime. So there's a whole line of you know, of people in charge, and I'm at the bottom of the list. Not to the general public, though lean Away fears the shot exactly. Look, I get it. I created it. I wrote that pilot. You know what I'm saying. I'm much more involved season three.

Um Like, I think this season is gonna be I think one of our strongest and most ground and most human seasons because I've actually gotten a chance to be involved in the day to day and like, um like, I did a pass on every script this season. Um, I may pop up in there everything, so just be on the lookout. But um, it's it's because the way I write is that I don't judge characters, um and so, and I feel like I feel like that that's what's

going on. This season's less judgment. Obviously, there's gonna be some changes. It's like, yeah, it's like, you're not gonna have Brandon, You're not gonna have Jericha. But what happens is we illuminate some of these other characters and we have some new faces like La La can't he pops up? Luke James has a wonderful role. So we really Little Real Cut popped up and ran up on us. And

so it's just it's really a special season. And it's a season where, you know, we had some some struggles in terms of what the show would be and and I really kind of had to rise up and put the show on my back. And and I hope people tune in, and I hope they really rock with us, because the show is always bigger than one character or one person. There's a lot of Papa this season, to which I think people are gonna be happy about a lot of what Papa Papa. Oh yeah, the kids, and

the kids are growing up. Man, they like fourteen fifteen, and we're not shying away from that. They're vaporing, they're talking about having sex. It's like it's real. You you said you wouldn't work with Jason anymore, but time has passed. You saw him holding himself accountable to that change your perspective. You know, I don't think I can speak to it yet. You know, I think we kind of have to let maybe some more time pass. And why did you say

you wouldn't work with because people don't know that so eager? Well, well, no, I mean I think look, I'll be honest, it was a question I wasn't expecting, you know, but I think that yeah, yeah, exactly, But Charlotte, but it was a

fair question to ask. And I think, to me, it's like, if I'm talking to you about making sure that this won't happen again, or making sure the people know that I'm for the people, and I'm for a black woman, like I'm a person who was all about, you know, supporting us and making sure we were good and we feel safe. I couldn't then have a whole conversation with you and then still be like, oh, yeah, but if he ever wanted to sell you know, we all good.

To me, it's also about sometimes you gotta change your behavior. Yeah, you have to change your behavior, Betogi. Yeah and so, and that to me was what I felt like I needed to do. And I can't align myself with someone who is like, you know, if they're saying this is happening, this happened, this happened again over here. At some point I have to kind of go, okay, let me do

my thing over here and make sure my shot together. Yeah, because I found the interesting that nobody said anything in reply to Jason after the brother you know, what I'm saying. Even the network was like, no comment the young women can that was a lie. I just I was like hmm, I mean, yeah, I'm I'm I'm a person out there too, you know. And again, but that's why it puts me in this tough spot because I'm not there I even know.

It's like I you know, it's like it's almost like I own a lot of companies, you know what I'm saying, and I can't be at one company every single day. But again, that's why I made it very clear about the people that work with me and for me that they understand the man day it's like that will not be tolerated. That The thing with the whole situation, we talk about what he's done, but nobody knew what he's done like we assumed it with sexually, I can't even

really speak to it. I can't even speak to it and being aggressive like nobody has ever said, well he's done this. You know. That's why people are all confused. Yeah, no, I get it, and I get the people are frustrated, and it's like, look, I'm frustrated. I've been trying to get straight answer, just like what happened? What you know, but but even to me, like I can't, I'm getting different versions from different people because again, everybody has their

own version of the truth. And so that's why I wasn't gonna come up here and say, well, this is exactly what happened one because I don't have a right to do that because I wasn't on set and I wasn't there. Um, And I also have to believe, you know, I have to believe women. I have to. And so therefore we made a change, a big change on our show. Um you know. I know some people were like, oh

you wait until this thing happened over here. It was like, look like I didn't even know about that thing, you know, or whatever happened on the Netflix movie. So at the end of the day, I have to all I'm tasked with is okay. So now this is how we how do we make the show great? How do we like? I gotta because that's the thing, people understand. I gotta. I have to go, right, I gotta go produce this TV show, you know. So I know people want me to, you know, talk about this or spill that t It's

like I don't have time. All right. We got more with Lena Waite when we come back, don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good Morning, the Morning. Everybody's DJ Envy and Jula Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We all the Breakfast Club were still kicking it with Lena Waits. Charlomagne Jason said it himself. He said, Lena, Lena should not have received backlash because of my actions. Did you feel like the backlash was well, I mean, look, I'll be honest. I think black folks you know, with me and they

support me. I mean because somebody could look at you know where I'm sitting right now, and you know, I feel like I really got the support in the for my people. And a lot of people actually come up to me and said, you know, on the interview, they appreciated the fact that I said, look, I'll take the hit.

You know, I can't enjoy the fruits of the laborer and not deal with you know when it happens, you know, so um so a lot of people you know really said they were like, thank you for breaking down the roles of power and who's in charge and who's in charge of what? Um and also you saying, hey, I wish I would have handled it differently. That was my thing because I think and also an owning up to like me, uh, there was a place where I could have handled it better, you know, and and I but

here's the deal. I think everyone in their lives has had an incidence and where they could have said, well, I could have I could have dealt with that better. So that's my things for my people who may be like, oh, Lena, I was like all I asked them, It's like, Yo, have you been in a situation where you could have handled it better? And if you if you say yeah, I just say, like, then just rock with me, and just know that I'm growing up in front of you. You know, I'm learning as I go. Like I was.

I saw that show and I was like thirty two. I was the first time show creator. I was like a baby, and I didn't have a real, like any power really, you know. So I was in there trying to like trying to understand and learn. And then course over the course of the show, my profile kind of got a little bigger and I was doing other things. And now that's why I have that power to say, Yo, this will never happen on any of my sets ever again. If anyone ever allows it to happen. Hezzle roll, gotcha.

It's very hard just to grow right because especially with social media, because every little thing, yeah, you're from people, you're like watching me, you know, it's like you know, I'm I'm trying, and the thing is for me, why if it could be hurtful at all? It is because all I want is for black people to be successful and great, and when like we are old that I would never ever stand by and allow, you know, especially any woman, particularly a black woman, be you know, be

hurt or abusing me not do anything. But your situation is one of those situations that made me say, good man. And the reason I say that is, I'm like, if y'all canceling, Lena, waif tho none of us standing, I'll say, like leaven black people backing out and say nobody would going on some cancel. I will say that I didn't see that. I think people just sort of like, what wait, Lena? What was? It was more like, Lena, what's going on?

What happened there? No one really was all that. I gotta give the people cred because I know folks would be like a hold up, we weren't saying that, um. But because seriously, because I felt so much love on the Queen. When we introduced the Queen and Slam like teaser on the BT Awards, everybody was like everybody was so excited. So I think folks know they have they have a bit of a sense of who I am and um and I think too. It's like, like I said, to pop up again and again. If it becomes a pattern,

please cancel my black ass. But if you see that I made a change and I've grown, I've learned from that experience, then to me, I feel like you can see yourself in me because everyone has like stumbled or not done something the right way and then come back and have been really stronger for it. Absolutely, cong congrats on the wedding to be like, y'all, okay, congrats. That's married. So far, it's so far, so good. We're a few months in so no exactly exactly, No, it's it's you

know what, it's very freeing. That's what marriage feels like because I think a lot of people, when you think about it, you feel like, okay, you're walking into a somebody closing the door. To me, it's like the rain gave me wings. It was like, oh, there's nothing I can't do or accomplish because I have someone that's gonna have my back for the rest of the Ring gives me wings. I'm gonna use that at some point. I love being mad new baby. Just Ring gives me wings.

Go ahead, Like you know what I'm talking about. Absolutely, It's like, you know, you have a partner, you know, and and and also too, you're talking about cancel culture. It's the way that the world did cancel me. Everything went away. Was like, I'm never gonna cancel you. You got that, right, you know what I mean? And and you just I just feel like, you know, please, like we like we were good, well made you want to do it right now a few months ago whatever you did?

What we're going well, No, I mean we've been together for over five years now, so we and we as the thing. We've been engaged for like two years. It was just it was just sort of time and my life got a little bit busier, you know. And her life is busy. She runs Michael Jordan's production company UM out Wide Productions, So she's in Germany right now that they're they're out there filming a movie. So we both have sort of been in our bag and working and grinding and uh so, but we we also want to

just keep it small and intimate. Uh And but it was literally she and I and our awesome photographer. Was that was that ever a dream for you growing up? Because it wasn't even legally possible for you? You know what I mean? All Right, it's funny, it's it's it's not a thing I necessarily thought about every single day or all the time. But yeah, but once I fell in love with her in that way, I was like, oh, yeah, I want to get married. I want to be married too.

And but we always felt like we were married too. It always felt like that we like we moved in pretty quickly and like we just caught a vibe and and I just wanted to make an official I want to I want to put a ring on it, you know what I mean? How did you meet? We met in a general meeting, uh in Los Angeles. Funny we're both from Chicago, funny enough and born in the same month, same year. Um and yeah, it's crazy, but we just did.

We never crossed paths there, but we just met a general meeting and there was no no, nothing going on there at that point. I was very professional, and we just kept bumping into each other and all that kind of stuff. And then one day we just, uh like we want to have drinks and uh and we just something just clicked. It was it was different, and we've been hanging out, we went together ever since. Yoh, yeah, I'm very decisive. I was like, yep, this is it

and not a nothing to the world. Immediately, Yeah, I think because we wanted to have something to ourselves a little bit. It's that thing you talk about, you know, and I do. I share my wife, you know, and I'm very you know, interactive with folks, and I love people. I love talking to folks. I love interacting with people. I think it makes me a better artist. And people will tell you I'll respond to d ms and Twitter and all that kind of stuff, and people always asking

for advice for how to be writers. But that one we really want to enjoy being married just to ourselves for a little bit. Um And then you know, and then when opportunity to camp, I think it was on Llen, I was like, all right, you know. And also people they see the ring I refer to her as my wife now and turn interviews, So we didn't mind saying something, but it really, uh, we just kind of want to hask on to ourselves for a little bit, that's all,

you know, how that go? Absolutely? Yeah, well I can't wait to see Queen see you know what. You should buy the theater. You got the money, you know you know what, Charlomagne, you and I should buy theater. Show that all the time. Ilcome Ryan, already I plan to do that anyway, Okay, I'm gonna do that. Yeah, I do that all the time for black movies, black when it's black, Yeah, it's black creatives. I do it all the time. You come on, man, Queen eleven twenty seven

and again. My thing is if this movie does numbers, it'll change things for us, because then it's not just about getting black movies made, but it's about getting black movies with final cut, raw black movies, Black movies that that are presented in our native tongue. That's thinking about this movie. It's like there's no code switching, there's no explaining. It's like when white folks come see this movie, they're gonna get a real sense of what it's like to

see the world through the black lensed set. That up set the please the theater up. All right. He's like, huh, all right, I appreciate y'all. Free popcorn on me, free drinks on Envy. There you go. Yeah, not alcoholic drink sp doctor Pepper. All right, it's the Breakfast Club. It's lead away. Hey, Hey morning everybody. It's DJ mv Angela. Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Good morning. What's happening. Let's get to these rumors. Let's talking. Listen,

And then she went on social media and she said, hey at Postmates, this girl Tiffany w stole my food. She lucky, I don't fight no more. And then she posted a picture of Tiffany. Well, people in her comments were like, Jesus, the poor girl is going to get fired and then hunted down. Come on, Lizzo.

So she did take it down and Postmates did ask her to message them directly. So according to the woman Tiffany, she says the issue was that she did what she was supposed to do. She waited for five minutes, couldn't get in touch with Lizzo after she arrived at the location, and she even walked around the hotel where she was staying, asked employees about a guest named Bonnie Vie because she used a code name, and she was told there was no one by that name staying at the hotel. So

that's when she left. So now she's suing. She's saying that she lost her job. It's libel, false invasion of privacy, and causing emotional distress because people on social media were threatening her life. After that, she went to damages related to the incident, as well as legal fees and any other legal and equitable relief as the court deems just and proper. You know, I don't know who's right or wrong in this situation, but I do know this would

not be happening to Lizzo if she wasn't Lizzo. Okay, Lizzo just learned a valuable lesson. When you, you know, achieve a certain amount of status, a certain amount of fam you can't just be calling people when you want to. That's just what it is, all right now, Gabrielle Union didn't exclusive with Baller Alert, and she talks about her parenting styles and it's a very judgmental world out there. And this is all in response to Ti discussing his

eighteen year old or to Deja. Also Alicia Keys opening up about parenting with her four year old son who wanted the rainbow nail polish. Well, now, Gabrielle Union's talking about parenting. She has her firstborn that she had more than a year ago, and she also helps to raise her stepsons that she has with her husband Dwayne Wade. And she said, just because you grew up one way doesn't mean you have to repeat everything you were taught.

She said, it's okay to acknowledge that perhaps there's a better, more loving, more compassionate way of raising kids than in previous generations. It's okay to lead with love. It's okay if your children aren't exactly like you. It's okay to nurture your child's interests, even if those things don't interest you. It's okay to evolve your thinking. It's okay to not live in fear or judgment. There are no perfect parents or perfect children. To just breathe and do your best

and lead with love and acceptance. You're absolutely right, that's how you think. She said was right. That's how you bring generational curses and create generational blessings, simple as that. Like people were even criticizing her for going to Miami Pride and support of Zion their son together, just because I don't know, I don't know why they care. They're supporting Zion, her stepson. You support your child in whatever it is that they're doing. That's what she's saying. Yeah,

just support that. If he's young and he's you know, gay, and he wants to go to the proper y, yes, it's me to come out and support all right. Judge Joe Brown has some issues. He was talking to Umar Johnson and they were on Valerie Denise Jones's show, and they were talking about Harriet Tubman and putting her on the twenty dollar bill. Judge Joe Brown apparently has a problem with feminists out Harry's damn about feminists. They can

go straight to hell. And I know they hate themselves because they got two X chromosomes instead of an X y. They're self hating and they're sick. These feminists are trying to do this movie so they can get a black woman put on a twenty dollars bill. They can't get a white woman, so they want a black woman. They don't care, they just want a woman, and it downs masculated. We've got Ben Franklin, so we can have Fredrick Dougler.

Sounds like he bumped his head or something. I don't know what he's talking about, but he was talking about the Harriet Tubman movie. And then in addition to that, he talks some more about feminists and this twenty dollar bill. Okay, but you don't have a problem with a black woman, and in this case, Harriet Tubman being memorialized, I got a big problem. If it's on a bill before they put a black man's face on one, I have a

big problem. Why why he calls that story black havantus of an ethnic group is determined by its men, not its women, and that you built a black woman on there before a black man is insulting to the black race because you're saying the men ain't worth a damn Put a woman up there. Birth. Yeah, Harriet Tubman talking about Harry Tubby might have shot Joe Brown? All right, you know what I'm saying. This is why I prefer

judge mathis Okay. Yeah, they say, they say you shouldn't argue with people that Harry Tubman probably would have shot Harry Tubman might have shot Joe Brown. And for the record, Harry Tubby was harder. It was harder than a lot of you niggas. I just want to throw that out there too. All right, Well I'm angela, yeah, and that is your Now we can have the debate of what black man should go on a bill before Harriet Tubman,

but it's probably only one. We're being honest. Oh yeah, yeah, And I don't even know if you can compare it, like, I wouldn't be mad at either one of those. To be honest with you, I just want to tell you you at your N word uh maximum for the day. Yeah, definitely made your quota. Who told you that? Its source to say that you're at your quota? Bro? So to say reached word quota to day, I just want to say, fine, I'll just transition to white people today. Then come on,

who are you're giving your donkey too? Well? Today's donkey today is so us to say it's coming from South Dakota. Okay, you can't use the N words or you can't use the words in South Dakota, Okay, but we're not talking about any words today. We're talking about Caucasians for a listen. And this is good because we get to take a trip down memory lane and talk about some of the great UH anti drug campaigns that we've seen throughout history. All Right, we'll get into that. Next to doat move,

it's to Breakfast Club. Good morning. Let's don't be a dust because right now you want some real It's time for Donkey of the Day. So if we ever feel I need to be a donkey man, get it with the heat. Did she get the name? Please? I had become Donkey of to day the Breakfast Club bitches, Yeah, sounkey today for Tuesday, November nineteenth goes to South Dakota Governor Christy Nome. Now I know nothing about South Dakota.

When I say nothing, I mean nothing. I googled famous people from South Dakota just to see what's come out

of there on the entertainment front. And the first name was WWE legend UFC fighter brock Lessner, an actress named January Jones, who I've never heard of white people in the room, ya know, January yeah, we know January toy Bey're not white, but okay, and social media agitator Fox News personality Tommy Lawren is from South Dakota, so it's safe to say that the mayonnaise is heavy in South Dakota.

In fact, correct me if I'm wrong, because I did light research on this, but in South Dakota it seemed like it was twenty thousand black people and seven hundred thousand white people. Okay. Yeah, See, even if I'm wrong on the numbers, I'm pretty sure that there's more Caucasians in South Dakota than it is Negros. Now, South Dakota must have a meth problem because Governor Christy Nome launched her anti meth campaign. Now, before we move on to that, I want to give people a quick history lesson in

regards the anti drug campaigns, anti drug messaging. I remember growing up in the eighties and nineties and the messaging about drug use was simple and effective. Do you remember famous campaigns like this is your brain, this is your brain on drugs and they were scrambling the eggs. Is there anyone out there who still isn't clear about what doing drugs does? Okay, last time, this is your brain. This is drugs. This is your brain on drugs. Any

questions amazing? Amazing? I always wondered did someone eat those eggs after? Okay. Also, the anti drug messaging in movies was very effective. Who can remember the classic scene on Lean on Me when Joe Clark delivered a powerful anti drug message to Sam. I don't think you've changed the thing. Go on jump? No, I don't want to jump. Yes, you do. You smoke crack. Don't you look at the bar? Don't just smoke crack? Yeah? Ye, sir. Do you know what that guys tell you? Sir? It kills your brain

cells done, it kills your brains self. I want you just throwing your brains fells. You're doing the same thing. It's killing yourself. You're just throwing his chlo now. I said, if you want to kill yourself, don't prown with the going and doing expodiciously, not going and jumping jump myself. I know that's what I learned the word that prediciously from. I know that is round of applaud Morgan Freeman. Okay, come on, man, you didn't want to know drugs after

seeing stuff like that? What about minutes of Society when you realize that crackheads weren't just out here sucking on glass pipes. Man, you got some money or not? Oh, cook me up this time you up? Man? Wait wait wait, wait man, man, man, I'll suck your come on man, just hook me up. You just say I said I sucked your come on man. That was terrifying. Okay, but there's no anti drug messaging better than just they No. It was just simple and to the point. Let's hear it.

It's a good part for you. No cocaine, No thanks, yo, my man, you want some nudes? No? What if someone offers you drugs? Instead of saying something you really don't mean, just say now, got some sense? A million few no, no, no big production number, just say no. You'd be surprised how well it works. No. No, if it was just that easy to just say no. But we'll get to that. Governor Christy nom Like most white people, they have a different approach to the opioid epidemic than they did they

ever did to the crack epidemic. Okaysee, when it comes to crack, it was all about saying no, just say no, okay and locking people up. When it comes to the opioid academic. It's all this messaging about being in this together and getting people help well. Governor Christie Nom's anti drug campaign unless I'm on drugs, doesn't seem like an anti drug campaign to me at all. In fact, I would go so far to say this is a just say yes campaign. In fact, the campaign slogan is math,

We're on it. I can't make this kind of stuff up. Play to add. I'm Governor Christy Nom. South Dakota's meth crisis is growing at an alarming rate. It impacts every community in our state, and it threatens the success of the next generation. This is our problem, and together, we need to get on it. If you see something happening, or you know of someone who needs help, call one eight hundred nine two zero four three four three or go to on meath dot com. Let's get mess out

of South Dakota. Show the end, put the end up on. Put the South Dakota state thing with the they look at that meth, We're on it. Maybe they're trying to normalize it so you feel like you're not alone. That's what I'm saying, Dakota, is this your queen a right? I agree with Angeli. Ye. Also, I feel like I know what Governor Christie was trying to do. She's trying to say, meth is a problem in South Dakota and the community needs to get on it as far as

finding a solution. But no, okay, nobody read this and was like, this doesn't read write. She didn't come up with this on her own. Okay, this will put together in a boardroom somewhere. They were conference calls. People had to approve this. Not one person said to themselves, you know, I don't think a website called on meth dot Com is a good idea. I don't think having the state of South Dakota with the words meth were on it

written across it is a good idea. But ye know what, I think that Christy Nome knows how hard it is to just say no. So instead of just saying no, like Angela Ye just said, she said, let's just say yes, we're in this together. Okay, We're on it together. And guess what, I have no feelings about this other than this commercial being hilarious. There's a prophet among us named Dave Chappelle who broke down how I feel about this

on his latest stand up special sticks and stones. Can we hear from the guard opioid crisis is a crisis. I see it every day. It's as bad as they say. Sadly, you know what aminds me of seeing it reminds me of us. These white folks look exactly like us during the crack epidemic. It's why because I even have insight into how the white community must have felt watching the black community goes through the scores of crack. Because I don't care either hanging there. White just say no, what's

so hard about that? South Dakota? Carry on? Please give Governor Christie no Man the biggest Hee Hall track. Let Kathy Griffin give Governor Christie Noman the biggest sell Please give this giant jar male the biggest Hea Hall. They paid four hundred and fifty thousand dollars for that ad campaign. How much meth can you buy with one hundred and fifty thousand dollars in South Dakota. I don't know how

much math card. I know one thing, the crack where aret it campaign would have been firing Jesus christ Okay, think if that monkey today now, when we come back, Susan Rice will be joining us. It sounds like you just popped in recording. He wasn't even you just popped in, like you weren't even with this whole time, like you are recording just now he's doing his he I was brushing my hair, Yeah, shifting that wig back in place. Yo. You know, shut up. You were talking of the Babershop yesterday.

I'm not going front. It was like arguing basketball games. I'm not. It's not fake, it's real. A lot of people are asking about it. I'm telling you, I told you, I got you a check. Yeah, man for this, it's my real head. Guys, no follicles, no plugs, it's the truth. He cuts my end. Johnny was defending you. But then there's people in there. It was like, nah, man, it ain't real. Then they started bringing up Tory Lanes and Lebron and all of these different people that got trapped

two page. It was crazy. But yours is a good job. I'll say that it's not because it's real. That's why it's no follicles, there's no plugs. It's nothing. Hey, follicles, We're on it, you know, you know what, Rice, But when we come back, keep it locked as the Breakfast Club Good morning the Breakfast Club. Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building, Susan Rice. Welcome,

good be with y'all. Hey, miss Rice, you have a new book out called Tough Love. What's the story of the things We're fighting for? You know what I like about you, Susan Rice. I heard you say that Lindsay Graham is a piece of shit, and I was like, I like a person that speaks that kind of language. So matter of factly, well, you know, I've had too much experience with him, so I had to just finally

say what I needed to say. Absolutely. Now, you've been through a lot, and what you don't think about sometimes with politicians is how it affects their life at home, right, you know, being married and having children who when you get slandered, your kids actually feel the burnt of that as well. So can you talk about that a little bit, just balancing being a mother, being a wife, but also working for the Clinton's, working for Obama. Yeah. Well, I've

now got two kids who are close to grown. One is in college and one is a junior in high school, but through most of my time I'm working in the Obama administration, they were pretty young and they were at home.

And you know, when I got publicly vilified for going on the Sunday shows and sharing the best information we had at the time about Benghazi, what I didn't realize is that our youngest child, our daughter, who was nine years old at the time, was hearing all this stuff on the television and had it, you know, really sort of seep into her consciousness in a way that her parents,

her dad, and I didn't appreciate. And so there was a period of time a few weeks after I went on the Sunday shows that she started complaining that she was seeing figures men coming at her out of walls, she was having hallucinations, and obviously we were totally freaked out, and we took her to Children's Hospital in Washington for like weeks of tests, and they were trying to figure out, you know, is this a brain tumor, is this schizophrenia

or some other kind of psychosis, Is it a vision problem? And we went through all this to try to figure it out, and thankfully they were they ruled out all the worst case scenarios and they concluded sort of by process of elimination, that she was having a stress reaction to what had happened. She'd seen happening to me on the television. Yeah, eight years old, which is you know, one of the reasons why I have strong feelings about

the manner in which people attack one another. And Lindsey Graham was one of the most virulent and persistent of my attackers. Actually, to this day, you never think about that. You never think about how the families of people are being affected. Ironically, you know what maybe think about that back in the day was when Kathy Griffin did the thing with Donald Trump holding the head and they were saying how his son saw that, right, And I was like,

that's a good point. Yeah, yeah, yeah, No, That's why I put it in the book. It does affect the people who love them and people who didn't sign up for this. Did that make you fail? Sorry? I did you fix what you're doing? Just turn the TV off? You not allow them to have a cell phone. Tell first of all, we did turn the TV off, but too late, before you know, it had already affected her. And then just to try to explain this as best we could, what was happening, try to make sense of

this to a nine year old. Our older child got it right, but she she was sort of too young to be able to process it. So we really spent time trying to explain it to her and assure her that I was okay, that she was okay, And then with time and you know, things calming down, she ended up being fine. If Lindsey Graham Trump, you know what, my mother who's up in heaven, would look down on me and tell me to shut up because what I would say and answered that she would not be proud of.

So I'm not going to get she's already mad. She's putting me in time out for what I said about Lindsey Graham. Already are there times right now you feel like you really want to jump back in? No, you know, I'm very frustrated and concerned about where we are as a country, and I'm very concerned that what Donald Trump is doing is pursuing foreign policies that benefit himself personally, politically, and financially, but do nothing to advance our national interests.

In fact, they are undermining our national interests. You know, when Nancy Pelosi said that all all roads seem to lead to putin. There's a lot of truth to that. It's an extraordinary coincidence in quotations that you know, every major choice he's made in foreign policy or almost everyone

has the added benefit of being helpful to Russia. So that's what worries me, and it makes me, you know, obviously, want to continue to speak out and to be as informative as I can to the American people about what we're witnessing and how this is not normal and how

we can't accept it. But in terms of jumping back into the arena, you know, well, you know I've gotten I've been so fortunate to serve at the highest level and to serve under two presidents, particularly most recently President Obama, at the highest levels, whom I have enormous respect for. You know, it's gonna be hard to match that going forward. Are there things you feel like Obama could have been

more aggressive on? And maybe I always felt like his hands were kind of tied because of the Republicans, But do you feel like there's things that, like, man, we should have been way more aggressive when it came to this. Well, my space in this was national security and foreign policy, so you know, on the domestic policy side, which may

be more what you were thinking. You know, I think you know, there's no question that Obama faced the perpetual challenge of a set of congressional Republicans, as mister McConnell said, who tried to thwart him at every turn. But despite that, there's so many ways in which, you know, things are much better or were much better at the end of

the Obama administration than they were going into it. And those are many things about which I'm proud, But my area of expertise really wasn't on the domestic excited you know, let's talk about the difference between Clinton and Obama. He was in both administrations. Could you tell the difference of how Clinton had was easy to get things done and it was so much difficult for Barack Obama and some of those differences. It really wasn't that easy for Bill

Clinton either, really, you know, remember he got impeached. He was the last. So you know, there's a kind of mythology that the fact of the matter is, you know, you look back on how this polarization in Washington, and you know, this sort of effort to ensure that whoever's in the White House the opposite party is trying to make it impossible for them to get anything done. Bill Clinton experienced that and he and arguably was sort of the first to go through that. So, um, you know,

it really wasn't that easy. Then, What's what was a little bit different? Was it? For a period anyway? There was still some lingering readiness on the part of the parties to cooperate on certain pieces of legislation. But remember that was Newt Gangrish back in the day, who you know was coming after Clinton No ninety Okay, how was it being a woman of color, black woman watching that whole ninety four crime bill play out, especially when you saw it? Actually it hindered Hillary, you know when she

she ran for presidy, that was something held over herhead. Again, like my reaction to it would have been just like your reaction to you know, again, that wasn't in my policy space. Um, and it's not an area where I played any role. But I mean, obviously that didn't work out for us. Right, that was rough, and you know the ramifications are those that were still feeling today. How

did y'all handle impeachment? Bag? Then? Though, like, well, you know that was so interesting because you know what Trump is trying to say, is oh, impeachment's happening, Nothing's gonna get done, you know which, of course, nothing was getting done, And the only place anything was getting done is in the House. And all these bills are sitting in the Senate,

which has nothing to do with impeachment yet. But in the Clinton administration, the White House went out of the way to really put in a one compartment all the work that was being done on impeachment and everybody else. I was at the State Department at the time, working on African affairs. Yeah, was doing the business of government as if nothing else were happening. We didn't let that get in the way of doing our day job. Right, You still have to be able to function, that's what

you're supposed to do. But see, because Trump thinks that he is the government, he is the state if something is coming at him, therefore everything has to yield to his needs. So that's a huge difference. All right, we have more with Susan Rice when we come back, don't move. It's the breakfast Club, Good morning morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee. Charlemagne, the guy we all the Breakfast

club was still kicking it. With Susan Rice Yee. You know a lot of these people personally obviously, who are politicians that we might not like and we might not like their policies, but knowing them personally, there's people that you also feel like, He's not the person that you see on television. I'm just asking because I know sometimes

you have to work side by side with people. Yeah, but you know what if somebody's going out on television and telling bald faced lies, you know that tells you a lot about him, and you know you you you should believe what you see, right, All politicians lie? All right? No, No, I'm sorry, No, No, this is really important because what Trump is doing is trying to normalize dishonesty. He did it already, He's and and but don't let him get

away with that. It is not true when you know, I don't care if you're talking about Obama, Bush, Clinton, Obama before him, they did not get up every day and stand in front of the White House and tell bald faced lies to the American. He did not lie about he lied about his personal conduct in that one instance, he did not tell. I think Trump's count is over twelve thousand lies about things small, and consequential. The man

is a serial liar. There is not a moment when the American people can be confident that what comes out of his mouth is the truth, whether it's national security or you know, how many people were in his inauguration crowd. It's very interesting to watch. I watched him. He was like, you know, let's keep the impeachment going for a little while longer because it's making the pole shoot up. And I was like, why do you think he'll be impeached. I think he'll be impeached, probably, but I don't know

that he'll be removed. In fact, I doubt he'll not, allowing that, you know, I don't have a strong view on that. And of course the impeachment was politically motivated. For all you want to say, I don't think that one's personal sexual conduct, as reprehensible as it was in that case, is you know, a matter of national and

and and you know, state importance. I think when the president of the United States bribes a foreign leader with the threat that he would not receive military aid that he desperately needs because he's under attack from our greatest adversaries, the Russians, and holds that military aid up in a White House meeting up in order to get Ugus dirt on his domestic political opponent, Joe Biden. That is putting personal political interest ahead of the national interest, in our

national security, and you should be removed. A well, look, let's see where the facts leave. I'm not you know, I don't think it's helpful to get ahead of that. So let's see what the you know, what, what the House comes up with. Let's see if he's impeach Let's see how strong the evidence is. But what we've seen so far is shocking and deeply, deeply concerning. Do you think if he doesn't get removed, that will make him, because he already fails invincible. Do you think that that

will make his supporters go harder for him? You know, it seems like his supporters couldn't be any stronger for him than they already are. I mean, and that's a reality. You know. I was not myself somebody who was pushing for impeachment or thought that it was important or urgent, frankly, until the Ukraine thing hip, and then I was like, wow, this is so deep. All the things he did prior they would look I think they were horrible yeah, but I didn't think that that an impeachment process was the

best judgment until Ukraine came along. If if the Congress doesn't call a president of the United States on something of this consequence, then what is the Constitution about? Why are we here? What else can this or any subsequent president I think he can get away with. Out of all the candidates running, who do you like and who do you think is the best opponent for Donald Trump to beat down? I haven't endorsed anybody. I haven't made a pick. I want to see how this plays out.

Are there any candidates who came out from out of nowhere that surprised you? Like? Okay, I do kind of like this person? Well, I mean, you know what, I think. There's just there's just a lot of talent. I think the one you know I've known, for example, Senator Harris for a long time, like her. I like Joe Biden, obviously having worked closely with him. Um, there's a candidate who hasn't gotten a lot of attention that I know very well and have a lot of respect for, Michael Bennett,

who's a senior Senator from Colorado. I think Pete Buddha judge is actually interesting, interesting to you because he's I've met him several times. He's smart, Uh, he's committed. Um. I respect his service in the in the in the military. I think he's got very thoughtful ideas, and I think he's kind of got the temperament and the um the you know, the character to uh, to govern effective. Did it feel like doomsday handing over that classified information on

your last day to the next administration. You know, we had a lot of apprehensions for good reason, um, And yet President Obama's directive to all of us was he wanted us to hand off to the Trump administration as completely and responsibly as Bush had handed off to him. Right. You know, politics aside. The business of national security is head serious. The business of governing is dead serious. The problem was these guys weren't serious about governing, as we've

seen subsequently. But we couldn't make that assumption preemptively. We had to give them all. They hit it. No, no, no, you might have had your own personal concerns or suspicions. I certainly did. But the job of the sitting administration is to enable the subsequent administration to be able to hit the ground. On day one to serve American national executive, producer, celebrity apprentice, any political office you have any hope in

n I didn't say hope, I said responsibility. Right, It's true. Indeed, I know, I know you have to go. So one last question twenty because you're talking about national security and I feel like, you know, our democracy is definitely under attack. Like if you know that Russians an interfering, Miss McConnell blocking the Election Security Bill, how much faith can we

have in elections? Well, this is a serious question, and you know, miss McConnell, Moscow Mitch, as he's come to be known, is doing more than anybody to hold up our capacity to put in the money that we really need to put in the resources to defend our election integrity. I'm actually less concerned about the mechanics of our next election. I think the States are better prepared than they were in twenty sixteen, and I think the actual voting process

is likely to be fair and transparent. What I worry about more is what is in our social media and as I write in the last chapter of the book, how the Russians in particular are exploiting our domestic political divisions and trying to pit Americans against each other and cause us to hate each other, fight each other, and weaken our democracy. And that's their strategy or destroying us and enabling themselves to become the global power. And we're

playing into that because of our divisions. So we got Americans need to be much more witting of what is going on and how our adversaries are trying to divide us. They need to be thoughtful, informed consumers of information, not just believe everything that comes on your Facebook feed or that you see and you know. But here's the big

thing we do. Each one of us gets to vote, and our vote absolutely matters, and we have got to recognize that the leadership we have now is working against our interests as African Americans, our interests as Americans broadly. Can't sit back and you know think, well it's not my problem where my vote doesn't matter or I can't be bothered. We need to be bothered. I that putin Trump ticket is hard to beat for you know what,

We're going to beat it. But that requires each of us to get out and do what we gotta do. Absolutely well, thank you for joining us and the rights. We appreciate you put putting on top of the two. That's right. I appreciate you for joining us. Book Tough Love is out right now, and thank you so much. Thank you for having me. It's great to be with y'all. The Breakfast Club yaps, the world Most Dangerous want to show the Breakfast Club Charlomagne and God Angela Yee. Dj

Envy is gone. I think, yeah, he's in Charlotte, so he's got some stuff to do, so he left us. Okay, Well, we're about to do rumor report. We're gonna talk Kanye West and Doctor Dre. It's about, is the rumor report? Angela Yee on the Breakfast Club. Well, Kanye West and Doctor j looks like they had plans to release a collaborative project called Jesus Is King Part Two. Kanye put up on Instagram. Yea and Dre Jesus Is King Part two coming soon. I don't know, though, Doctor Dre takes

a while for him to do his projects. I don't do you think I get excited when I see anybody say they're doing anything with Doctor Dre. Like Doctor Dre is probably the greatest hip hop producer of all time. When of the greatest producers of all time period. But Doctor Dren were putting out no music. What is doctor dre announced recently that actually came up. Um he did his Thompton Yeah yeah, but he didn't even announced that. That's the crazy part just came out when that says

he done. Maybe waiting on detox for Anderson Pack. Yeah, So there you go. All right now Amanda Sales versus Sean King, and this is all over Rodney Reid. So we have all been seeing the whole Rodney Read story and he has the death penalty or he did that right now, he has a stay right because a lot of people were protesting and feeling like Rodney Reid did not actually rape and murder a woman and the woman

is Stacy Stites that we're speaking of. And so Amanda Sales went on her social media to talk about Rodney Reid activism and why she feels like you have to do your research before you do these hashtags and before you support people. When the Rotten Read case was presented to us, and if you're someone like me, you read the materials that were presented with it and you felt okay, like none of this seems you know, awry, you went

ahead with the support. So it feels very duplicitous that those who were pushing for this, we're doing so with the knowledge that this person rot me read is not just accused of but has been linked to previous rapes

via his DNA being discovered within the victim. So Amanda Sales does go on to say that she does regret once backing his exoneration because she's read whatever it was presented and didn't realize that there was his whole backstory of other allegations against him right, other rapes and situations like that. Now, mind you, he was convicted more than twenty years ago of this particular rape and murder of Stacy Stitz, who was nineteen years old, by an all

white Texas jury. His DNA was found inside Stacy Stites. Here is what she had to say. He has been ideed by a woman who escaped him. And so you're asking yourself, who why wasn't he convicted of those Well, three of those cases did not go to trial because

he had already been convicted of capital punishment. I think it is very important to note, though, that this is somebody who in two cases cited that the reason his seamen was found in the body of a person who was raped and killed was because he was having a current relationship with them that unbeknownst to anybody else was going on because that person was a white woman and he was a black man. Yeah. I saw a news report on KVUE which was detailing Rodney Reid's alleged history

of violence against women. Right. And the reason that he even got identified in this Stacy Stites case was because the following year, he had been arrested in charge with the kidnapping, beating, an attempted rape and murder of another woman, the Linda Schluder, And that attack happened about six months after Stacy Sites was killed, and there were similarities between these two cases. That's why the police started investigating him in this case. And what would he mad about, Amandy?

What would he mad about now? Sean King responded to what Amanda sALS had to say, and he went on his Instagram he said, on behalf of the family of Rodney Reid. I have to respond here directly to Amanda Sials. We've counted over twenty egregious factual errors in her viral video, but none were more inflammatory and damaging than this one. Here she says that Rodney Reid, who she feels to say was a high school student at the time in Whichata Falls, Texas, raped and killed a woman. There lies,

all lies. I am proud to report that only Amanda and her rush to get a video out killed that woman. She is thankfully still alive and well today. She was not murdered by Rodney or anyone else. And a jury voted quickly and unanimously to a quit Rodney on all charges in that case. So many lies in this video. Rodney did not commit, the crime, was acquitted, and the woman was never murdered. So this was a previous accusation

against him. Yeah, I mean Amanda was wrong about Rodney Reid allegedly raping and killing one in which it taught Falls. In that case, Rodney Reid was just charged with rape. But I think a man is overall point about wishing she had all the information on Rodney Reid's you know, history of violence against women is accurate. Like, there's nothing wrong with fighting for Rodney read but he has been

the alleged suspect and several violent crimes against women. And look, I don't know if he's guilty of these things or not. And he probably is innocent in the murderless Stacy size. But I do know if a lot more people would have known his history prior to the social media push that had happened for him, they probably wouldn't have gotten

involved with that push. Now, Sean King said, do you really think Rodney Reid duped the Innocence Project for the eighteen years they've been on this case, do you think he duped the Conservative Board of Pardons and Paroles and the Texas Criminal Court of Appeals. The smart people they saw the actual evidence wake up and what does matter in this particular case is the evidence in this case.

So you know, they did say that Stacy Sites was engaged and her fiance was actually a suspect as well a person of interest, and according to other people who are witnesses, they're saying that he was the actual culprit her former fiance, Jimmy Fennel. So that's what the situation is. Now.

There's people who are coming forward saying that Jimmy Fennel did admit to it and did not appreciate the fact that Stitz was having an affair with Rodney Reid, and that's why he claims that his Rodney Read says his DNA was inside of her because he had been with her the day before. So I mean, listen, I think Sean is missing the overall point. He's talking to the nuaunce of the Stacey Stitch case, which he's right on.

But Amanda and a lot of other people are talking about Rodney Reid's overall history of violence against women because all these women can't be lying, right. The only thing is, and I would say this, the death penalty is final, yes, And so I've always had an issue with the death penalty.

I've never really believed in the death penalty. But especially if there's some type of doubt that someone committed a crime and this witnesses coming forward and saying the person didn't do it, I don't think that you should implement the death penalty in those cases at all. Yeah, I don't. I don't really have strong feelings on the definitely either way.

I don't even know if Rodden you read, is guilty of these things and not like I just said, and he probably is innocent in the murder of Stacey Stites, and if that's the case, and he shouldn't be getting

put to death. But I do know if a lot more people would have known about his history of violence towards women prior to the social media push that happened for him, I don't know if they would have gotten involved, right, you know what I'm saying because of that, Because because like all of these different women, like you're not believing multiple accuses now all Kelly and Bill Coleby sitting around like wor you only believe in multiple accuses no more?

All right, Well, we'll keep you guys updated on what's going on with that. But as for now, as we're all investigating and doing our own research and coming up with our own conclusions, that's what we have for you on Mangela Yee and that is your rumor report. Yes, indeed, now coming up, we have the People's Choice Mix, which is not even the People's Choice Mix at all, because there is nobody that chooses just mix other than Rashawn Casey, dj Envy aka Trap to Pay Right. So let's get

And also Susan Rice for joining us today. Yes, Losing Rice, go grab her new book,

Tough Love is out right now. Yeah. What I like about Susan Rice's book is it's not just about her time working with Barack Obama and the White House, but it's also about her personal life. We don't think about how these politicians are affected at home and their families are affected by what's going on around them and howard you know, with their relationship with her husband, with her kids. All of that is in the book. So it was a pretty interesting read. All right, well, when we come back,
