It is about seventy degrees right now, Yes, it is, and it is November what eleventh? Yep, Yep, it's not supposed to be seventy degrees Tomorrow we get back though. Tomorrow it's supposed to be raining, nasty, and we'll be rainy to day. It's forty degrees later on

today yep. Forecast said the day about one two o'clock raining, and tonight it should be back to what the weather's supposed to be. What up you hey? Can you hear me? Yeah? What happened? I was here, but for some reason we couldn't connect. I'm inty traits. Okay, Well, I'm glad that

it's getting back to being cold. I was telling my daughter last night because she was you know, she's twelve, and she was talking to me about daylight saving time, how it gets dogs early, and I was like, yo, back in the day, it used to be you know, used to be football season weather, and you go to the high school football games and you know it'd be dark and to be cold. You know, you got to put on my hoodie or a jacket. Now, you don't

know what the hell you got to lead a house in. Nah. Well, I mean kids are not going to those games right now because of COVID, so they're canceling a lot of the game. So kids need to keep their ass home. I'm just talking about weather wise though. You just don't know what to do when you leave the house. Yeah. Yeah, i'man Detroit. It was like almost eighty degrees yesterday. There was eighty degrees when I left the trade yesterday was the weather was ridiculous. It's crazy. You just don't know,

Like Charlottigne said, what to wear? And then I was talking to one of my partners last night there was in Arizona and they said it was cold, Like, what the hell is going on in the world, But it's cold today? I don't know that. Well. Nikki Giovanni will be joining us this morning. The legend, the icon, poet writer. Activists educated that Nikki Giovanni, the whole gene. Nikki Giovanni. Yes, and she says whatever she whatever's on her mind. That's

what's crazy. She is uncensored. Well, she always spoke truth to power and now she's seventy seven years old. She really don't give a damn at this point in their life. What does she care? Not at all? All right, and we got front page news. What we're talking about, Man, Let's talk about coronavirus, because there are numbers are higher than ever and one state has actually hit one million and recorded cases of COVID nineteen. We'll tell you what

state that is. Yeah, And the crazy part about that state is the death rates are not as high as this area here or some of the other areas, which doesn't make sense, but it does. I mean, this is not as fatal as they once thought. It was almost twenty thousand people died in that state, right, and then how many people died in New York, New Jersey. I don't know those numbers at the top of my head. A lot more, which is crazy. All right, Well, we'll

get to that next. It's to Breakfast Club, Go Morning Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy and Ula Yee, Charlemagne the guy. We are to breakfast Club. Let's getting some front page news where we're starting you. Well, let's start with coronavirus. There are more than ten million cases of coronavirus in the United States and the number of Americans hospitalized with coronavirus has top sixty one thousand, which is an all

time high, and that number is from yesterday. Now, the NFL and NFL Players Association reported that fifteen players have tested positive during the latest round of league wide testing. Also, there's more people hospitalized in the US but COVID nineteen than ever before. In Texas has just become the first US state to hit one million cases of COVID nineteen. Yeah, one million cases at one time, a one million cases since the open it started recording, they recorded one millions. Roll. Yeah.

I was saying, you know, in Texas, I think the death rate is like twenty thousand people. But here in New York, New Jersey, the death rate is a lot higher and we have a lot less cases half the amount of cases, which is crazy. New York's had over a million cases, I mean, not a million, over half a million cases since it started. I think thirty what about to tell you thirty thirty some thous people. Yeah. Yeah.

The New York City Mayor Bill Deblasio is saying the continued increase in the percentage of people testing positive for COVID nineteen, it was very worrisome. So they said, if the seven day average goes above three percent, s will go remote for a period, and if it continues climbing, some business could some businesses could face full scale closures or limits on hours. I don't think they kindomy could take that. Again, I don't think the economy could take

this country. Show they're not gonna do that, especially around the holiday season. That's not happening. Let me tell you something. Why don't they ever show us, like the act, the current active cases instead of showing us, like all the total cases that have happened in the country, Like, why not just show us the current active number of cases?

They do? They show the cases every year, don't Yeah, that's why they show the daily cases that I give you something has reported that I know, but still on CNN they show you the nine million cases. Like, why not show us how many people have recovered? Is what I'm saying. Recovery, Yeah, they don't. Don't show you the recovery. Why not show you that? You can look at it when you go online. You can see the recovery number,

But why not show us the recovery. They'll tell you like two thousand people contracted it in this stage and this better people hospitalize. They'll tell you that, well, as you have it, you don't know what's going to happen while you're still trying to recover. So I guess those numbers are always pending, right, what do you mean, like you can't say okay? In Iowa, the state of Iowa has reported more than twenty one thousand COVID cases in seven days. But you can't tell how many people recovered

yet until later. Yeah, but that's the point, so post a recovery rate later, like after people actually recover. They said the percentage of people testing positive is more than nineteen percent, and there's over eleven hundred patients in the hospital and it's stressing their healthcare system there. And again, you know, that's one of the problems with coronaviruses. The hospitals can get overwhelmed, and then as people are getting sick or they might have other illnesses, there's no place

to go. Now. The governor of Virginia is concerned over the rising coronavirus cases as well as Utah, Illinois, and Montana. They broke coronavirus records on Tuesday as well. So it's just a kind of an emergency situation. They said seventy percent of COVID nineteen outbreaks are linked to private gatherings, bars, and a restaurant in Minnesota, so they are going to have new restrictions there as well. And in New Jersey for you guys. You know, there's been a lot of

cases there and they're saying it's a grave situation. The governor is saying that they're introducing new restrictions aimed at reducing the spread of the virus. Restrictions on indoor dining after ten PM, a band on bar seating and restaurants, limitations on interstate interstate sporting events, and yeah, just a lot of new measures right now just to try to lessen the risk. Well, what are they going to do for the NBA season? NBAC just starts in decembol. I

know they're not putting them back in that bubble. Nothing those seventy two games because the NBA po NFL's traveling them. Guys, they have, but a lot of them are catching COVID, a lot of them all. You know, they're still about best players are out and I mean, I'm sure if the NBA could put them back in the bubble, they'd be the easiest thing, because the NBA got no cases of COVID when they did that. I highly doubt those guys want to be in that bubble for seven months.

They getting paid millions of millions of dollars. Yeah, but you're away from your family, you know how that is. Well, you know, it's a tentative start date by the way of December twenty seconds. So I'm sure that as they're testing and figuring it out, they'll see what's best. It feels like they did it right, Yeah, I think so I have to shorten the season a little bit. Seventy two games currently, Yeah, let's shorten that a little more. But I can't see them leaving the bubble. But that

is your front page news. Now get it off your chest. Eight undrip five eight five one oh five one. If you need to vent, hit us up right now. Maybe had a bad night, bad morning, or maybe you feel blessed. You want to spread some positivity, whatever it may be. Eight hundred five eight five one on five one is the breakfast Club.

just make great things happening. A hard time traff you know, I want to give it her a hard time because this is like a lot of misinformation that I heard about her until I actually started winning, like you know, looking for myself and researching and realizing that there's a lot of misinformation out there and for whatever reason people prosecute. One of them is I was really hung up on the fact that she didn't claim her blackness until twousand

and sixteen. It's like like looking as like, wait, that wasn't true. The Howard chaff I cannot let you go without since you were talking about Instagram, the comment that you left on my page about the threesome where you was doting out that you had three was trying.

But it meant a whole lot more to hear it from my son, even though it's just from a text, but from him one

He always gotta go there. Nobody had to thinkin on himself. That's positive, all right. We'll get into that. Next is the Breakfast Club in the morning, The Breakfast Club morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlemagne the guy. We are the breakfast now shout to

a heart McDonald's. You know, because of homecoming this year it's canceled, I mean because of COVID. We can't really do it, So what we decided to do is do it online and on air. So tomorrow, McDonald's an aha put together. It's like a Battle of the Band. So they have a bunch of different bands, they have an artist performing, they're doing interviews. It's a whole thing that they're doing for all of home comings out there. I'm gonna be hosting it, so keep a locket. It happens

tomorrow at five to six thirty. I love the way you make these virtual things sound exciting. I mean, okay, you gotta try to make it sound exciting. We hate virtual everything, I know everything, but it's all that's all we have, so people can still celebrate a little bit. Think about all the freshmen that don't get to experience homecoming like we did. Um they're called Ebony Fire. These the girls that dance at Hampton University at the football

team at the football game. So when they came and recorded this for McDonald's, it was the first time that they ever met. They had to do practice virtually, so they've never even seen each other, so they had to practice virtually, so that was the first time they ever met each other, which was crazy. Sorry for all those kids.

That's not getting that full college experience. Man. Well, listen, we have a lot of virtual things happening also because it is, you know, like you said, homecoming time, and we're doing this whole HBCU Homecoming my Look thing, and I Heeart Radio is also doing something with Ulta Beauty and so it's called Beautiful Possibilities. I'm actually hosting a Beautiful Possibilities panel that includes Lala Anthony, Grammy Award winning artist her and the CEO and founder of Creole Essence,

Eve car Mont Peru. So you guys can actually enter to win, and that hashtag is my HBCU Look hashtag sweepstakes entry and you tag Ulta Beauty and I Heeartradio. You get to win a virtual meet and greet with her, a five hundred dollar Ulta Beauty gift card, and you donate a scholarship to the HBCU of your choice. But you also get to just participate in the panel and watch, So make sure you don't miss that tomorrow. I love the fact that all these businesses are doing things for HBCUs.

Now I loved it. It took a long time, but they're starting to do it. But let's get it. It's easy to do it when it's virtual. I'm gonna show up and be riding. Let's get to the rum as to talk me. I won't say this is the rum of report with Angela years. But Beyonce has teamed up with Peloton and that is for a homecoming themed workout, so they're commemorating homecoming season at HBCUs. He was already the most requested artist with all of the members, so

that collab makes sense. They're giving away two year digital memberships to students at ten different HBCUs and that will provide access to the fitness classes through the Peloton app and you can use that with or without the equipment. That's dope. I wonder what school could afford Beyonce if it wasn't a virtual Like, what school could afford Beyonce? They come before? At how price? None of them prices

a lot of money, a lot of scholarships. I gotta figuret what I'm gonna do and when when it comes to bike riding, I might have to give me a Peloton or something like that. If you dress up, you dress up the ride the peloton like you do when you just out and about in the street. Yeah, because you still got to have the gel on your butt to you know. Yeah, it's very uncomfortable. You know. I have a bike and at home I try to put a pillow on the seat. They have these seat covers,

but it doesn't work as effectively. I'm gonna get some of Envy's gel shorts. All right now. Eva Longoria has clarified and apologized for the remarks that she made on MSNBC, and these remarks were about the voting patterns of Latino women during the presidential election. The women of color showed

up in big ways. Of course, you saw in Georgia what black women have done, but Latina women were the real heroines here, beating men and turnout in every state and voting for Biden Harris at an average rate close to three to one. All right, well, she is now clarifying her remarks, and she also posted about this as well. Here's what she had to say. You know, in my effort to celebrate Latina turnout, I diminished the importance of the black women's vote in the selection. And what I

said was wrong. And it is a fact that African American would and showed up in record numbers and brought us to victory. They saved this country, and I recognize the harm that my words caused, and so I take full responsibility for that mistake, because I want everybody to know that we stand on the shoulders of black women

who always show up. Black women have carried us for decades when it comes specific engagement, and I get that there's a collective exhaustion and hurt at feeling erased yet again. And I contributed to that paint. Look as the great Nikki Giovanni says, who'll be joining us next hour? By the way, she's said, mistakes are a fact of life. It is a response to ard accounts. I think that

was a great response to the evil's error personally. All right, now, celebrity pastor Carl Lenz, his alleged mistress, is now telling all This is an exclusive from the New York Post, and basically she's speaking up about their five month pandemic romance. She says, I'm here to tell the truth, and maybe by doing that other people will have the courage to speak up to She said she met him on a Friday in May. She was at a park in Williamsburg with her dog looking for somewhere to sit and that's

when he offered her his circle. They got to talking. They left the park together. She said, I was telling him everything. She thought he was single. She said, he's a good looking man. Why not. He took her number and he didn't put it in his phone. He put it in the notes application. She said she thought that was a red flag. The next day he asked her to save him a circle in the park. She said, when I saw him, he asked me so many questions,

and she asked if he was married. He said yes, and she said, I still didn't know who he was. So she actually paid an app to do a background check based on his phone number, and she said that's when everything came out and she realized that when she met him know that she had met him before at the Hillstong Church in Manhattan, and she said she wasn't really paying attention. So she said that same weekend, he came to her house. That Sunday, they drank to Kila,

talked for hours. We were sitting and she said he asked if he could put his hand on my thigh, and she said it was awkward. He didn't know how to act at first. He told her he was the

most beautiful women. He told her the most beautiful women come from the Middle East, and they started texting and face timing all the time and having feelings for each other, and she said he would talk about how amazing his wife was and the guilt that he felt about what he was doing to his family, and saying that we didn't plan this, this is life and we fell into it. But she also said he is a professional narcissist and lies too much. And they were seeing each other twice

a week. She said he was like a drug to me. I was a drug to him. And then what happened was his wife and his job actually saw their text messages on the I cloud. His messages were linked from the I cloud, and that's when all everything went down. She had every ready to tell her story. But if you know a man was married and you still chose to sleep with him, you are in no moral position to speak ill against that person. He didn't manipulate you. He told you what it was and you went along

with it. If he lied to you about being If he lied to you about being married, that's one thing. But if not, you're a co conspirator. So what's the point of telling the story. Well, yeah, I don't think she's suggesting that she didn't do anything wrong. She was well, she said, I read the article yesterday. She was like, I'm telling my story because I'm hoping that more people come out like you went along with it, because she also said while they both made mistakes, she acknowledged people

like him shouldn't preach or drink so much. There's no deepness there. Who is she to judge what I'm saying? What moral position are you into judge? You slept with a married man who told you how amazing his wife wasn't the guilt he was feeling about what he was doing in this family, You still slept with him. God bless you, young lady. But you don't really have a room to judge. And she said in retrospect their relationship

was likely a product of the pandemic. She said he hadn't been doing anything for so many months, He hadn't been on stage what us was going on in his life. He needed to do something that would excite him, and that she also feels like it might be having a midlife crisis and going on a self sabotaging journey. Hey, he got to get his Hallelujah from somewhere. Okay, he misspeing on that stage. Stop. I don't know how you cheat through the pandemic because you can't lead a crib

like that. When he went to her house allegedly, yeah, how he gets a long time out with the house. She has every right to tell her story. I just want to know what is the reason for telling her story because it really confused me at the end when she was like, I'm hoping other people come and speak out like he didn't know the woman, come speak when let you he didn't do anything wrong you. He told you everything and you went along with it. You're a

co conspirator. You're no more position to speak ill on him. All right, Well that is your rumor report. I'm Angela Yee. All right, thank you, miss Yee. Now front page News. Next, what we're talking about? Yes, and I know we've been talking about coronavirus. I'll give you other updates as well on other happenings in the world. All right, we'll get into that. Next.

Charlomagne the guy we are to breakfast club. Let's getting some front page news where we're starting you Well, Like we talked about, it is holiday season, so always celebrating Thanksgiving well. The CDC, the Center for Disease Control, has suggested that if you are going to be hosting a Thanksgiving dinner, have your meal outside to help stop the spread of coronavirus outside. It's not everywhere, I guess not

everywhere from thirty forty degrees. In addition to outdoor meals, they said host should limit the number of guests they invite, talk to the guests before they arrive about how they plan to celebrate, and to limit the number of people in food preparation areas. If you're sharing food, have one person served the food and use single use options like plastic utensils. They also suggest you know wearing a mask checking travel restrictions if you have to plan to travel

over the holiday. Doctor Anthony Fauci also said Americans will need to make a risk assessment when celebrating Thanksgiving and make a decision do I want to put a person at an increased risk by having people come in from all parts of the country, usually in a crowded airport, without necessarily knowing if they're infected, without having time to get tested or time to do quarantine. Well, this is a great way to not have to be around any

of any family or friends you don't like. You know how, sometimes Thanksgiving dinners, you know, a couple of extras come over that you don't really rock quick. Not this year, we're trimming the fat. Yeah, no, I mean that's true. But this year. I usually I have things Giving dinner. Usually we have Christmas dinner. We're not doing it this year because I got a lot of people in my family that are a lot older. You just don't want to risk giving them something and killing them. So it

just can't have those dinners. It got to be virtual. You don't like all of them. Not virtual, I mean you gotta be so you can still speak to each other. He No, you don't like my mom and my dad. If they can't come over for things giving, I just don't want it. My daughters in school, my kids go to school every day I'm out. I just don't want

to give nothing. I get it. That is the thing about this pandemic, right Like anybody that you've been around, you really like, you know what I mean, because you're not gonna give me Like you're not gonna just be around any old body during this pandemic. You see that. Dr I can literally count on one hand how many people I've seen this year. And you know, it's not just about you, Like my grandmother's ninety years old, and you know, normally I see my whole family Thanksgiving, but

this year is not happening. So you have to think about other people and not just yourself. All right now, the cop Brett Hankinson, the only officer who was charging the Brianna Taylor case, is and by the way, not for shooting her, but for bullets going next door and not injuring anyone. He is now being accused of sexual assault, and the alleged victim claims that his bosses knew about this but did nothing to correct this. This dates back

to twenty eighteen, Margot bord Is is suing him. She says that he sexually assaulted her after a night out at a bar he was working security. She says she was drunk around closing time, he offered her a ride home, and she alleges that he invited himself into her home plopped down on the couch while she went to go change. She says she passed out, but that he came into her room, got naked, and sexually assaulted her while she

was unconscious. When she did wake up, she claimed that she screamed for him to get off her, and he grabbed his uniform and left. The next day, he contacted her insisted that they had engaged in contensual relations, and she also claims more than ten other anonymous women have come forward to make statements about his alleged misconduct with them.

She's also suing several of his co workers and supervisors on the police force and at the bar, saying they were aware of his alleged abuse but never took any action to stop it. M all right, all right, well that is your front page news. All right, thank you, miss ye. Now when we come back, man Nikki Giovanni will be joining us that's right. It's the legend Nikki Giovanni. Okay, to the poet, the writer, the of that activist, the educator. Yes,

that Nikki Giovanni. Oh, Gene, Nikki Giovanni will be here, all right, we'll talk to her next and don't move. It's to Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Back. You're checking out the world's most Dangerous morning show. Yeah, miss the world will Dangerous Morning show, the Breakfast Club. Charlomagne the god Angela yee. And we are blessed this morning to have the presence of a person I consider an icon. Miss Nikki Giovanni is here. Good morning, queen,

how are you? Good morning? Here are you? And blessed Black and Holly Fever. I love that she's got a new book out, Make Make Me Rain Poems Rules Timely? Is your poem about voting, because that has been such a heavy discussion. Yeah, we uh, well, of course, and um I think everybody turned out and we won and that's that's ah, that's very nice. I've got on pink today. I'm a Delta and our colors. Of course you're written and right, but uh, in honor of our new vice president,

I'm wearing pink and green. My mother in law the Delta. Good for her. See, that's why you're a nice guy. How do you feel about the election and Senator Kamala Harris, what does that mean for for black women? I'm glad for the country. Actually, uh, I think it's good for for all of us. But I think it's a statement for the country when we look at at what black

women have given to this country. And of course I'm a big, big fan and you couldn't help but love Fandy low Hammer and missus Hammer and her confrontation with lind Lyndon Johnson in nineteen sixty four when she took the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party over to Atlantic City and it was back and forth, they testified and back and forth, and finally Lyndon Johnson came to missus Hammer, as you know, and said, well, why don't you take two seats because

they Mississippi had four, So why don't I give you two seats and we'll work at out for next time. And missus Hammer looked at me said we didn't come here for no two seats. And I've always loved her for that. So seeing where we are right now, and I'm sorry that miss Hammer is not here. I know that it would just absolutely please her. But I know that as a black woman, having watched things like Missus Hammer, I know that I will always vote and I was glad to see that our vote, the black vote was

was such a big turn out. Well, I hope Cindy the Harris had the same impact on Joe Biden that Miss Hammer had on Linda B. Johnson. Somebody got through to him clearly. Oh yeah, and uh, it's he's not dumb, Biden is It's not dumb? You know, he can add. And I think too that that missus Hars she was a friend, as you know, the senator Vice President Hairs now was a friend of Biden and worked together on a number of issues, so she was not unknown to

the president to President Biden. Right. And another poem that I like that you have that I appreciate is raise your hand in favor of immigrants, And I thought that was so well said. So tell me, like, I like to know just because you are so inspirational, like when you wrote this, was there something in particular were you're watching the news, like what inspires you? When you did

raise your hand in favor of immigrants. Oh, I love raise your hand, because I used to travel a lot and the people who were cleaning the women's toilets were immigrants. They were Hispanic people. And of course, not that it made I don't want you to think that I think I'm a big deal on this, but every time I wanted to urinate, now I would go in. I'd take a dollar out before I went into the bathroom, so that as I washed my hands, I could put a dollar.

And they used to have a little box there, and somebody complained, I know in North Carolina at Charlotte Airport, a lot of complaints, which I didn't understand why, and they had to take the boxes away. And so the next time I was in, the boxes were gone. I asked one of the ladies, my Spanish is really poor, but I said, where's the box? And she said, they make us in other ways, they made us take it. And so again I made a point of finding the

women and giving my daughter. And now you said, well, little dollars not enough, but I bet you over one hundred people pe and it would have made a difference to the women. And I couldn't understand why, why, why wouldn't you want Why wouldn't you want those women to have a tip. They're the ones wiping the bowl dry so that you can have that. They're the ones keeping the floor right so that you're not slipping on it. And it bothered me, and I thought, yeah, everybody's been

complaining these people are taking my job. Well, if you want one of those job, raise your hand, which which job where you want to raise your hand? Let me let me see who wants the job. They're working to take care of their children. They're working to see to that their children go and again, Harris is so important here that their children go to school. They're doing the dirty jobs that nobody wants to do. And what I really want to know, and I'm gonna call later on

this afternoon, I know a commissioner in DC. I want to know how many people who worked in the White House died. Now I know that that Trump didn't die, which was, you know, one of the unfortunate things. I can see that that that woman that he is married to didn't die, that half wit that he has a son,

I wasn't bound or something didn't die. But I can't believe that that the COVID has been going around the White House the way that it has and the people who are leaning, who are changing the bed every day, who are fluffing the pillow every day. I don't believe that they did not have the COVID and that some

of them haven't died. And I think that that's something that I would love to see the churches in Washington, because most of the people who do work like that do belong to the church, because you have to believe in God to be bothered with that. And we know that some of the Hispanic people who worked in the golf courses, we know that they got tired of hearing Donald Trump. We know that they resigned because I mean,

you can go back and look that up. So I'm just interested in who died in the White House, who was cooking for that un grateful man. The funny, I want to make sure I heard you right. You said it's unfortunate that Donald Trump didn't die. Yes, I thought it was great, greatly unfortunate. Now, huh, you didn't so you want him? You wanted them to pass away? Well, of course it would have saved a lot of trouble. It's gonna come up. If I had been a Jew

in Germany, I would have prayed that Hitler died. Of course, you want Trump to die because he's gonna he's gonna cause a lot of a lot of problems. He's already fired the National Security Director. But how many people would be saved if, right now, if, if, if Trump drop dead? See, that's just not something you know. We do know, No, I'm serious, we do know. If and go back to Hitler, because Hitler's the easy one. How many people? How many

Jewish people? They were, like six million Jewish people? But then we had the soldiers. I don't know if your mothers and fathers fought in World War Two, but your band parents probably did. How many soldiers had to die so that we can get rid of this guy? Think about it? Now. I'm with you. I just you know, I just I don't like to wish death on people, but I can understand your perspective. I'm just saying for

the for the you know, it's not personal. But I see that these people don't mind putting there at their knee on George Floyd's neck. They don't mind shooting beyond a Taylor in her own bed, in our own house. They don't mind shooting a fourteen year old boy in the back who was unarmed. And then they want to get mad because I say something like, oh, well yeah, be really good for him to drop dead. Poem to me already, just even you speaking these words, I can

hear it drop dead by Nikki Giovanni. I wish, all right, we have more with Nikki Giovanni when we come back. Don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, good morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne, the guy we are the Breakfast Club were still kicking it with Nikki Giovanni, Charlomagne. You know, in regard to being black in America, dealing with racism, the describes we have made as a community, I always wonder, how does the world look now to

someone like you? Who who who was around you know in the sixties. I think the world is doing a good job. I think we are making better steps. That was the time that you and I could not be talking on the radio, because we would have had a radio. There was a time or however we were talking, zoom, whatever we're doing, there was a time that you and I would not be able to walk down the street. And there's an old song that I do love so much.

I said, we are climbing Jacob's ladder. Every round goes higher and higher, and I think that we've made some steps. And I think that again, having somebody as evil as Donald Trump in our presence has reminded us that there is a better world, that we can do better, that there's something that we need to, you know, sew some seeds out there and see some smiles and some kindness.

So you're still suffer from pt as deeding from that time that era, well yeah, I mean you can't help it, you know, as there pros and poety been therapeutic for you all these decades to be able to express yourself that way. Well, all I have, in all fairness to myself, all I have with words, and so I've always felt, and I learned a lot of that from my grandmother and grandfather, but mostly from my grandmother. You have to

use your words. I try to be as honest and as clear as I know how to be, and that's that's all I have. Words are important, though, when you look at the people who have suffered for the words that they've said, I'm very fortunate that right now I have not suffered for the worlds that nobody you know has has beat me up with something. I went to

school with John Lewis. We were both at Fish University together, and the beatings that John took, you know, so, I thought, if all I have were words, then I have to use it to explain to the next generation, this is what we've done to make it a better world for you, and you have to pay it forward. You have to make it a better world. Why. Why has poetry always been your vehicle of choice to get your messaging out? Why poetry poetry? And I really again, I love the

steps that poetry takes. Poetry has always been not just for me, but let's you can go back thousands of years. Poetry has been what people the way people express themselves. And you know, if Jesus were here right now, he'd be a rapper, but he'd be honest. He wouldn't be ice Cube or some fool like that, but he would be a rap He'd be tupac He'd be telling people and sharing with people, this is what this is what the world offers. And I'm not Jesus. You know, I'm

not a fool on that one either. I just know that what I have with words, and so I try to use the words. I'm never in a room that the door is locked, so if I say something nobody wants to hear, they just get up and walk out. It works for me because nobody has to take it. Nobody has to be bothered with me. The door is always open. But my job is always to tell the truth. So I'm gonna do my job and you handle what you can handle. I do want to push back a little bit on ice Cube. Ice Cube was one of

our great He's one of our great messengers. Always had been well Cube, you know, Cuban and Trump, that was not a wise thing, and he backed off of it because he realized, oh I shouldn't be doing this, but that was It wasn't just unwise, it was mean. Cuban and U Kanye West, both of them are sucking up to power and they need to stop that. They need to just back it down because we've had some really,

really important people who have tried to help. We've looked at our athletes who have given up an awful lot. You know, you can go back to a friend of mine, Muhammad Ali, all the way up that the athletes have really fought for us and we fought for the right for the rappers. We opened that stage. So to see Cube sitting there like I'm going to give give Trump an idea of some kind of plan for black people that that that hurt my heart. I thought, you know

what is wrong with that, Negro? Don't you have to engage sometimes with uh, you know, an administration you may not agree with, even an administration that may be a threat to us as a community if they're in that power. No, you know, no, no, Jesus doesn't go when when And I have to say it this way because the only way, you know, when Jesus was out in the in the Deutches forty days and forty knights, Satan came to him, didn't he And Jesus said to Satan, get thee behind me.

So there's no Cube, none of them that that's not what they do. You come and talk to the people because it's the people that have made you what you are. And no, no, you don't engage. Jube is not going to engage. He's looking for something to use. And somebody else said it I wish I had. If you don't see the face of the devil, it's because you're running

with him. M what about what about Um Martin Luther King Junior, Martin Luvi King Junior used to get a lot of flat when he was engaging with you know, the John John F. Kennedy then Linda B. Johnson's of the World. People called him Uncle Tom and a cool and it sell out and say and say a lot of the same things. Well, what do you say about that? I say that everybody has a right to be upset

by some of that. But I was trying to say, is that Elijah Cummings talks about this in his book that he just put out, and how he met with Donald Trump and he proposed some plans to him and Donald Trum said, Okay, yeah, let's get it done. And they never did anything. And there's a lot of promises that he's made to people that work in the administration

and has never delivered on them. And so I think he clearly talks about how it's just not even worth engaging with him because he only does things if it's, you know, to benefit himself. And I don't know how Biden is going to turn out because they're all or whatever, but I think that it's only fair when people are upset that they have a right to be upset because we're the ones. The black community are the ones. We're

the ones that gave up the lives. We're the ones that were beaten to death from immatil on from from the people hanging from the trees that we don't know. So nobody wants to hear, well, I'm going to help you. I was disappointed, if I may say so, in Bernice when when when Missus King died, As you know, the

bush people wanted to come to the funeral. But Harry Belafonte had been the person who had taken care of Missus King, who when when when Martin died, it was Harry who said to Missus King, don't worry, don't Worry've got I've got the kids. They don't worry about them going to college. I've got your back. He took care of those people. And the Bush people said, we're not going to come to the funeral if Harry Belafonte is there. Now, this is something you loa you can look up whatever.

And Bernie said, oh and told Harry Belafante, well, you cannot come. That was, uh, that was disappointing. Now she has, of course recognized that she was a fool, and I think she's trying to do some other things. I'm not I'm not trying to judge her. I'm just saying that was Disappointingni How should we engage then, because I I'm just hypothetically and I'm glad we don't have to deal with this. If Trump would have stayed in the White House, black people afford to just sit on the sidelines for

four years and not engaged. I ain't on it, sweetheart, I'm said again, God is good. I do not know what we would do with four more years of Trump. Now that doesn't mean totally or it doesn't mean to me that Biden is some angels someplace, but it does mean he's better than Trump. So I'm gonna hope that America moves forward. That's all I can. That's all I can, That's all I can can do, and I'm gonna be as honest about watching things as I as I can.

All Right, we don't move. We got more with Nikki Giovanni. Where we come back is the breakfast club. Good morning Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela, Ye, Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it. With Nikki Giovanni Charlomagne. I'll watch your conversation with James Balling quite often, and there's so many gems that were in that conversation, like like you talk about the language of love, what

if the language of love to you? But right now you and I and you're like my son right now, But this is the language of love. We're honestly engaging each other, We're honestly sharing with our community and whoever else wants to listen. We're not closing. As I said earlier, I don't lock the door, and we're not cutting off any communication here. Anybody wants to tune in, can tune in. That's the language of love. We are communicating, and we are trying to help each other get through it because

it's still not gonna be easy. Yeah. I don't know if you know it not. But there was such a discussion around your conversation with James Bowing, you know, especially the part where you said you want a man. You basically told him lie to me the way you lie to the white men I love. I always remember Jimmy's face when I said that, because he just went like oh, because he hadn't thought about it. That way because Jimmy knew that they do. We do lie to people who

hate us. We smile at them in the morning. We do lie to the people who hate us. So if it's going to be a lie, lie to me. I'm the one trying to make you understand I love you. I'm the one trying to have a meal for you. You know, it's fascinating when you look at history, and I love history. It's fascinating when you look at the enslaved woman who got up before done and put on

some food. One of the reasons that I and many other Southerners love food that cooks all day is that we got used to it from our grandmother's and they got used to it from their grandmother's. But she would put a powder on and a fire. She would then go out and to the field with him. They would work all day and when they came on they would be came home in this little shack. And you've seen slave shacks, You've seen what they what they gave for

black people to live in. But they would have food that was warm, that she had cooked, that they would eat. And that was love. And I think that we have to recognize the love that we gave and of course let me let me be really kill about that. Black men loved still do black women. We don't have any history of black men beating black women doing slavery. Don't have any history of that. So when did you learn it?

Learn it from you present? You see what I'm saying. Well, we got to do this again because I do want to do a whole topic on love. I have to go catch a fight. Yeah you can step by. I gotta ask a couple more questions. I don't know what we're gonna have. Nikki Giovanni on okay, because you have a quote that I love and I wish in this era of cancel culture and more people would adopt it. You say mistakes are a fact of life. It is the response to the era that counts. Could you could

you expand on that? Oh no, that's quite true. People will get upset when they when they get upset if they have their wrong boyfriend or girlfriend. They get upset if they don't get the job they thought. People get upset because they think that life should be smooth and we all are gonna make mistakes. There's a reason pencils have every racers and one of the things that I am a firm believer in. And it's fine. I don't read. I don't read. I seldom. I shouldn't said, but very

seldom read my old poetry. It's because I don't. I don't mind contradicting myself. And I would say that I teach it here at Virginia Tech. And one of the things I try to tell my students is don't involve yourself too much in your early writing, because if you do, you'll try like to contradict yourself. If you won't contradict yourself, you won't grow. And one of the sad things, and I knew, I had the pleasure of knowing that she was my sorority sister, Aretha Franklin, But also I looked

at a young Michael Jackson. I didn't know. I knew Michael, but not like we weren't friends. And what he did as a singer, what she did actually as a singer, what the Prince did as a singer is they kept singing the same song. And if you're singing the same song, eventually it wears you down. So we know that Prince. I'm sure you know the Prince was not, for example, a drug addict. Prince died because she had pills because

of the pain. He was trying to dance. He was trying to put on high heel shoes and dance because he thought that's what people wanted. And of course, whether that's what people wanted or not leave the door open and go out and do because she's a great musician. It's a shame that we lost him, because she wanted to be something that he had been finished with. Show me someone not full of herself, and I'll show you a hungry person. Oh yeah, I keep trying to grasp

what that quote means. Can you explain that one? Well, the first thing, and I'm always laughing about that, and now I'm going to speak as a black woman, but the first thing you have to do when you wake up in the morning as a black woman is looking the mirror and smile at yourself. Because all of your life, all of your mother's life, all of your grandmother's life, we've been told we were ugly and we were black. We've been told. And so the first thing you have

to do is you have to train yourself. So you wake up and you smile in the mirror, You look at yourself and say, girl, you all right, because if you don't do that, they may be the only smile you get today. And if you do it, if you get into that habit, it's going to fill you up and you're gonna You're going to be kind to yourself. You're going to look out for yourself. You're going to

pay attention to yourself. And I think that that's so important because we've seen so many people be abused because they didn't know that they didn't have to they didn't have to be abused, that that was not a good idea, that what they needed to do was to love themselves. What I'm saying it's it's very important that we look at women because what we do with men is we take away so much of the joy of men. Men not we do. We let men have fights with people

who don't matter. And we love you, so we do expect you to come home and be and be kind to us. We expect you to spend some time with us. And we're not asking for a lot of money. We know you were poor when we were sleeping with you. We're just saying, pay a little attention here, let us know that you care. Wow, I love that, I love what you said too about smiling in America, you got these kids who get on social media looking for validation

from everybody else. They're not giving it to themselves. You have to give it to yourself. And you know you're a good person. So the one thing you have to say to yourself is I'm a good person, because you are. To be a black American is to be great. Actually, because we have built a nation, and by building the nation, we built a world. And I think that nobody. I really don't. I don't know anybody who would wake up in the morning and say I want to be white. I just don't. I don't know if you do. I

don't know anybody. I don't know anybody that does that. But I know a lot of people who wake up and say I want to be darker, and they go down to the Caribbean so that they can get a tan. That's right, man. It was such a pleasure. You know. Everything you're saying is amazing, and um, it gives me such a better understanding of myself. And that's what a wise woman once said. If you don't understand yourself, you don't understand anyone else. That wise woman was Miss Nikki Giovanni.

So thank you. Go pick up the book Make Me Rain Poems and Pros, Miss Giovanni. It was a pleasure. Thank you. It's my pleasure. Thank you, thank you. It's the Breakfast Club. Stop back your page.

And that's how you can win. All right, let's get

to the rum as a salt. Michael Jordan, it's about them, report Angela Yee on the Breakfast Club. All right, well, let's get back to the Last Dance again because Michael Jordan there's still some discussions on that docuseries. Now, just to flash back, here's what Michael Jordan had to say about Isaiah. I respect Isaiah Thomas is telling to me the best point guard of all times Magic Johnson, and right behind him is Isaiah Thomas. No matter how much I hate him. Yeah, I respect his game. That's what

that was. That's a very honest answer. I don't know. Yeah, I hate him, but this game there's a lot of people like that. I I just don't like to understand Michael Jeffrey Jordan's saying. Right, there was the problem. Michael Jordan also said that he did not block Isaiah from the Dream Team. You want to attributed to me and go ahead be my guests, but it wasn't me now interestingly enough, and I have the audio, but it sounds very murky. So what I did was, um, I pulled

out the quotes from it. And this is actually an interview from two thy eleven, an audio interview for the Dream Team book, and Jack McCullen wrote that book. And what Michael Jordan is saying is Rod Thorn called me. And Rod Thorn was the chairman of the Olympic Team Selection Committee and the Chicago Bulls former general manager. And he said, I said, Rod, I won't play if Isaiah Thomas is on the team. And he said, you know what, Chuck doesn't want Isaiah, So Isaiah is not going to

be part of the team. So I guess that audio from when that book was being written says something different. Now Isaiah Thomas has react. I did, and here's what he had to say about discovering all these things from watching the Last Dance. I watched it with great fascination and I watched it with great disappointment. At that time, I didn't realize, and even until I watched the Last Dance, I didn't realize that he felt the way he felt about me. I had never had no bad words with

him or anything like that. And when I look at that dream team, right, we knew each other, but the only person that I really knew on the Dream Team was Magic. First of all, I would never get tired of hand. Those oldgs discussed their war stories and MJ discussed the whole Isaiah Thomas dream thing, dream team thing on the Last Dance. But I don't believe that they didn't know they didn't like each other. I mean the Pistons walked off the floor after beat him and didn't

shake their hand. Yeah, they knew they had beef. Like, come on, Well some more things that Isaiah Thomas said on Club Sha Shade with the Shannon Sharp's podcast. He also said that Michael Jordan was no competition. You know, I was dominant over him when all teams met. You know, when you go back and you look at until ninety one, when I basically had career in the risk surgery up until the end, my record against against him and his team, it really wasn't competition there. Stop it. I say, that's

what he's supposed to say. That's what I love. And I don't get me wrong. The Pistons did dominate the Bulls for you know, a few years. But you know when the Bulls figured it out, they figured it out and they never looked back. But that's what I missed, Like I'm You're my competition until I die. That's that's how basketball should be. We shouldn't be friends until I die. Yes,

they don't even play anymore, but we still competent. Sounds like right now he will pull up at Michael Jordan house and play a game on one on one because there's always a bunch of things that are undecided that they can never go back and reconcile. Absolutely, even though we all have to tape. We see it like, yes, the Pistons dominated the Bulls, and then when the Bulls figured it out, the Bulls dominated the whole league. It

is what it is. Well as a time myselfs to put together a list of the toughest players that he ever faced, and you can guess Michael Jordan was not number one. Who would you say, all the five toughest players that you've had to face, Magic, Kareem, Bird, Doctor Jay, And then I would say, I've played a different kind of game, So your genetic gifts, I'm going to eliminate all of that, and now we're going to play basketball and it's going to be about all mental stamming up clues.

Five day Thomas, I love it. They should play one on one Mike Tyson's back box and you should play one on by the way, that's his opinion. You asked him a question would top players he ever played against? He named Jordan came in at number five. It's nothing wrong with that. That's a great top five one on all. Right, Now, since y'all like these og stories, let's talk about Mike Tyson. We've been learning a lot about him on his podcast Hot Boxing, and one thing that he talked about was

cheating with the Wisonator. You know that device you used to pass those urine tests. Listen to this. There was a wisonator, which was a prosthetic. Yeah. It was with you put clean urine I put. I put my babies urin it. I'm just hoping. I'm just hoping that one d I used my wife and my wife said, baby, you bet. I hope that it comes back pregnant or something. And I said not so, we ain't gonna use you know what, We're gonna use the kids. Well, did you

have the right color resonator? Because it was like, hell yeah, white one. I had this brown one. I heard this guy. This guy was so was skin I wrapped it out here. Take the cup. I had the fake penis. The fake penis was so big and brown. It looked like a Hennessy Bob, but it wasn't hennessy and it it was baby piss. I tried to make him drink it, but he wouldn't taste it. Tromping a clue bombs from like Tyson, I love my Voice, I am Mike. What happened? I

love Hot Boxing podcast? Made up his own story. You put a list spot at a double list because about nobody asked for your opinion. You with the bid? Okay, I come over there and make you love me. This is too strong? What is going on here? All right? Well, I'm an do the yean that is your rumor report. You ran out of here? All right? Charlemagne? Are you giving your donkey too? You know it's a double donkey to day? Because I can't I came across a couple

of stories to day. I can't let slip by me. Okay, but we're gonna go down ninety five. So we're gonna stop and Georgia and we're gonna take it to Florida. All right, throw them seeks around when we come back. It's the breakfast club. Go morning, the breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. There's no such thing as a good excuse for not buckling up. Cops are writing tickets, so why take the risk, do the small thing and start buckling up? Every trip day or night

took it or ticket brought to you by Nitza. Let's don't be a dusty 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 dunky man, give me with the heat. Did she get the lease I had become donkey of the day, the breakfast club bitching donkey to day for Wednesday, November eleventh, have to be a double donkey. Sometimes I walk in here and I come across more than one person who should get the credit they deserve for being stupid. And today is

one of those days. Okay, one hails from Florida, to other hails from Georgia. Which one do you want first? Okay? If I was going down ninety five South from New York City, I would hit Georgia first. So let's start there. Kimberly Ragsdale, you are the first up to the front of the congregation. We would like to have a word which you. Kimberly is forty seven years old and she was charged with impersonating an FBI agent. Why was Kimberly impersonating an FBI agent? Let's go to the Charlotte driver

forty report police. A Georgia woman faces charges after police say she posed as a federal agent and demanded free food from employees at a local check fil A. Kimberly Ragsdale, forty seven, was arrested and charged with impersonating a public officer after employees dialed nine one one following her latest

attempt to score a complimentary meal. According to an arrest report posted by the Rockmart Police Department, she was booked November fifth into the Polk County Jail and released on three thousand dollars bail after a two day stint behind bars. Authorities said Ragsdale kept up the ruse even as she was being arrested, at one point pretending to talk into a radio supposedly hidden under her shirt and urging the

FBI to send someone to her aid that's right. What other reason is there to dress up as an FBI agent? They get free fast food? Duh. Now listen, at least this woman has taste because she went after Chick fil A without a shot over a doubt to me, Chick fil A is the number one fast food restaurant, and it's not even close. Okay. If you're gonna take penitentiary chances,

do it over something that tastes great with Polynesian sauce. Though, I must say lately when I indulge in Chick fil A, that Chick fil A sauce slap strupling a clue bump for Chick fil A sauce. Okay. Now, I also have to commend Kimberly for staying in character the whole time. You might have missed this part of the news report.

Let's listen to it, authority said. Ragsdale kept up the ruse even as she was being arrested, at one point pretending to talk into a radio supposedly hidden under her shirt and urging the FBI to send someone to her aid, that's right. When police pulled up to Chick fil A to arrest Kimberly, okay, she kept the rules going and told officers her creddinches were electronic okay, and started talking in to her shirt like she was talking into a radio,

telling someone that they are arresting her. Okay, how the hell your request back up to the home of the original chicken sandwich. Okay, the lines at Chick fil A are already be long because people be trying to get that four hundred and forty calorie chicken sandwich. And here you go causing more of a disturbance, all because you don't want to spend a couple of extra dollars on Chick fil A like the rest of us. F y, is there anyone out there with a Chick fil A

hook up? No? I have never heard of anyone getting free Chick fil A because those workers at Chick fil A are angels. That's what the A and Chick fil A stands for. Angels. Okay, chick fil angels and those angels that Chick fil A would never risk those positions because you want to pretend to be a Chick fil

A agent to get a free spicy chicken sandwich. Not to mention how you got money the bail out of jail, But you ain't got no money to buy no goddamn Chick fil A kimberly three thousand dollars bills, and that I mean you probably have to pay ten percent three hundred dollars. You ain't had no money for no chick Fila. But Jap when your bail out. Knock it off, Kimberly. Now let's keep going down ninety five south to Florida.

Hit to hit the dog roll. Make sure you'll watch the craziest people in America come from the Bronx in all of four Yeah, you are a donkey. Order man attacked an ATM for a very strange reason. It gave him too much money. Florida man is arrested after definitely sayd he rigged the door to his home and an attempt to electric kid his credit life. Police arrested in Orlando man for talking a familia to breakfast bitch you donkey other day with Charlom Haine, a guy. Oh why

y'all keeping him? Get 'a elect y'all keep doing it to yourself due ball. Okay, what does y'all gole? Y'all always say about Florida. The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all the Florida and Dustin Allen Coons is no exception. See Dustin was in his jeep minding his business and he started revenu his engine up. You know those people that be at the lighted. So Toby Keaton also a Florida resident, instead of minding his business, took his fool up Florida ass over to Dustin's jeep

and asked him why was he doing that? Would y'all like to know what happened next? Let's go to Florida Keys News for the report police. A Florida keys man was jailed Halloween night after police said he threatened a man with a handgun while in his jeep on Duvall Street. The reason for the gun flash? Someone questioned the size of the driver's penist Stop right, death, stop right death?

Stop right there, let's play it again. A Florida keys man was jailed Halloween night after police said he threatened a man with a handgun while in his jeep on Duvall Street. The reason for the gun flash. Someone questioned the size of the driver's penis after he read the jeep's engine. According to the police report, you must have

a small the driver said he was told. Dustin Allen, Counts twenty one, was arrested on felony charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, carrying a concealed weapon, and dealing in stolen property. He was also arrested on a misdemeanor charge of driving without a valid driver's license. This story is close to home. It's safe to say that twenty one year old Dustin does have a little penis. He was triggered. That's why he pulled his pist up.

If it wasn't true, when you had a large penis, you would either laugh it off or pull out your meat. I mean in Florida, so I'm thinking on the level of a Floridian here. Any other state, someone tells you you must have a little penis, it's either a flirting or be something to laugh off, but not in Florida. And Florida, if someone tells you that you have a

small penis, you have to show him. Okay, you got to show him what you're working with, because if you don't have anything to show them, you put your got out and threaten to shoot him. Okay. Listen when Beyonce they wrote Ego, that song is so true to life because a lot of men's egos are directly correlated to

their penis size. And if you have a very small penis, if you are used to hearing that about yourself, it definitely you can cause you to have a very fragile ego because there's nothing you can do to make your penis bigger. Now, what if Dustin would have pulled is gun on Toby. You after Toby just said he had a small penis, and Toby replied that gun is way

bigger than your penis. What if Toby would have said, your girl would much rather have that big ass gun in her instead of your little ass penis, that right there would have caused Dustin to shoot Toby. Okay, See, the serenity prayer works for everything but penis size, because that's the one thing you cannot accept that you can't change. God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage the change of things I can, and the wisdom

to know the difference. That sounds good, But everything except your penis size. All right, some folks can't accept that, and Dustin what's one of them? So let's please give Kimberly. What's Kimberly's last name? I forge got her last name already. Let's give Kimberly. Uh, what's her last name? I don't know. Let's give Kimberly and Dustin up the sweet sides of the hambletones. Oh, now you are do gee, Oh the damn the dog gee, oh the day. Ye, that was what I wanted to I wanted to play game. You

next eight hundred five five one tho five one. If you need relationship advice, any type of advice, hit y call ye right now. It's a breakfast local Morning the Breakfast Club. Need relationship advice, need personal advice, just need real advice? Up down for ask Ye Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela, Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the breakfast Club. It's time for ask Ye. Hello. Who's this? Look? Hey, well,

what's your question for ye? Yeah? My question is basically, I want to make sure I'm doing the right decision. Basically what happened. I'm about to leave my wife in about February March, but we're still living together because it's like I moved all the way from Texas to Florida with this and uh he ends up ends up going to North Carolina and I let her go. But the thing is, it's like, hey, I'm like, leave your location on it, leave your little anymore, please, but go ahead. Yeah,

I'm sorry. I was like leave your location on and I just I just want to make sure where you're you know, But she turns it off and she doesn't let me know where she goes. But all I know is that she's put some friends that from Maryland, so they met have way. So to me, it's like you playing games and it's just like you want to see here and act like inst came from you to turn off your location and not let me know where you are. But we're married and I'm your husband, So do you

not try did you not trust her before this? Well, she never trusted me, to get what I'm saying, because her best friends try to sleep with me when like this happened in the very beginning of relationship. I didn't tell her until like we weren't married yet, we were still boyfriend and girlfriend, but she was living with me, and so it's just like a whole bunch of boys.

She gave me a hall pass, her best friend knew about it, and then she like came up to me and basically like tropped me in my own room in my own house, and it was just like like nothing happened, and it's just like it's just the fact that I didn't tell her until later, and so it's just like because of that, she felt like I broke her confidence, and it's just like ever since then, she's never been things have never been the same. Right, So you think now she's just trying to set her freedom, but you

don't think she's doing anything. You just want to make sure she's safe no where she's at, because now that that happened, y'all don't have that foundation of trusting your relationship. She doesn't trust you, and then as a result, now the relationship is damaged, and now you don't trust her either. Exactly do you understand why she's upset that you didn't tell her that immediately? Yeah, of course anybody would be.

You get what I'm saying. And I'm told her that, like all right, like you know, you have all reason to be upset. You have like you get what I'm saying, Like you have all power to be upset. And so it's just like how long how long ago was that this happened? Over six years ago? Okay? And she and she still like you get what I'm saying. She still got She's still I mean, I'm gonna be honest, I feel like you you still love her right and want

to be married to her? Yeah? Coolcuse's that's the game plan. Okay, but I don't feel like this is irreparable. You said you did not cheat on her. What did the friends say? And then she's still friends with that person? No, she's not friends with that person. And the person that her Frank confirmed everything that I said. Okay, all right, so you did tell the truth. But she just is confused as maybe she feels like, well, was he attracted to her, did he really want to do something? Why would he

keep this a secret? And so she just felt kind of dumb for being left in the dark. And now, like you said, it hasn't been the same. It feels like you guys need to really work on that foundation and build up that trust again. And when she does something, she's probably doing it partly to get a reaction out of you, when partly to assert her independence and say,

you don't tell me what to do. You did this, and so now you can't tell me what to do, right, Yeah, pretty much like I'm tired of fighting it, Like I'm getting to the point where like I'm twenty eight, like just like either get with it or separating right and be sitting like trying to keep going and voting to work and then worry about you or time oh sorry time. All right, Well, look, I do think you guys need

to sit down with a professional. I'll be honest, because this doesn't sound like something that you guys can't work out. It sounds like you're both being really stubborn. And sometimes it has to take a bigger person to say, Okay, what do I need to do to make you comfortable? And this is how this is making me feel when you do these things, and it's hurting our damaging our relationship. And I love you and I want to be with you.

But sometimes we get so stubborn, we get in our own way that we block our relationship from blossoming into what it can be because nobody wants to give in, and nobody wants to say, Okay, I was wrong. What can I do to repair this? And I do feel like this doesn't sound like y'all can't. So you got to work really hard on that. And sometimes that means

calling in a professional. Just like it's something's wrong with you, you know, health wise, or something's wrong with your car and you go and take it to the mechanic to get it fixed. Sometimes you need to get your relationship fixed and you can't do it on your own Yes, thank you. I appreciate that, like I need to, but you get what I'm saying. That's where I called yeah,

relationships sometimes take work. They don't just flow easy, and you can't just sweep things under the rug and move on and both still be doing things tip for chat. Sometimes it does take work. Yes, man, thank you, all right? No problem? All right? Ask Ye eight hundred five eight five one oh five one. If you need relationship advice to any type of advice, call Ye now. It's the Breakfast Club Morning for some real advice with Anthela Ye.

It's ask Ye Morning. Everybody is tj Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy we are the Breakfast Club with in the middle of Askie, Hello, who's this? I'm sure what's your question for you? Richard? All right? Like I wasn't my girl like six seven years back here, but we're going to talk and all that. She says she's in love me, she want to beat me, but she is not in the sense right I could do it, That's fine. I don't mind waiting. But I mean, I'm like, what

a reader like, we're talking almost every day. I'm like, I don't want to I like it so much. I don't want to stem on if my exes so they want to be think of in the future. I'm isn't your ex want to be with you now? We broke up because I cheated last year and just like she really cany it over. It was about together her for like two months when like sudational, like I guess he wasn't feeling to read for her specially want to take some more time a point. I understand that. Fine. I

wanted to blame, so I'm not able chipping. I'm giving her a space or time to do whatever she wanted to get a minor right, I'm willing to wait on all that. But I don't know, like when are hoole lung She's gonna be uniform. I'm saying I'm not gonna rush her. Guy, I messed up some. I'm saying so, but like I met it a girl, really really like her a lot, But I like her so much. I don't want to hurt her, like I don't want to

tell her that. Yeah, I want to be what I explained to her, or I explained her that I would X to what to talk to. Broke up after appen to her I'm not doing it over her yet. Yeah, Richard, why don't you just be single for a minute? Right? And I appreciate that you tell the new girl that you met the truth about the situation, that there was somebody else that you were involved with and what happened.

All you can do is be honest with her, because if she makes a decision to continue speaking with you, that's on her. The only problem is that if your ex and you get back together and she finds out about this, are you going to be honest with your ex as well? And how is she going to feel knowing that while you're supposedly waiting for her and letting her heal, you're still seeing other people. I mean to go run, know so I don't think I need to

all an explanation of thought. Who know, right? But if y'all get back together, you know you will have to let her know these things. I'm just telling you. I was been thinking. Okay, just put just take all those things into consideration. Right, You're not doing anything wrong. You're right, you're single, so you can talk to other people. You've told the other girl your situation. She can make her

decision based on that. But you know, for yourself. I would say, it sounds like you need some time to not be in a relationship so that you can figure out what's going to work for you best. And just know that if you and your X get back together, you will have to be honest if she asks you about what you've been doing. Not that what you've been doing is wrong, but just know that that might be

something that comes up and just keep that in your mind. Yeah, I wanna tell, but I'm not gonna like, yeah, I think I'm well, I'm not going to do that. I need to do that. Well, if she asks you, just know she might ask you, and if she does ask you, you will have to be honest. Yeah, well, um, and I think what you'll do. It's a new girls. I don't leave it alone or listen, you told her what it is. You already told her that you're not, you know,

ready to be in a relationship right now. You have this X that you heard her feelings, and whatever happened, if she chooses to still be with you, that's on her. And if she still wants to mess around and whatever, then that's on her, you know, But at least you were honest, so she knows where she stands, but she can make that decision based off of facts. Okay, so

it's not really up to you, it's up to her. Okay, good, all right, thank you for us Okay, no problem, honestly, that's all we need, right, Just keep it real, all right, all right? Sometimes people make things more complicated too, Like just tell the truth. You'd be surprised. People don't have an issue with certain things, and they'll be okay with it as long as they know what's going on. All right, ask ye eight hundred five A five one oh five one.

This is the rule of

report with Angela Yee on the Breakfast Club. Well, according to the Jasmine Brand, the Real Housewives of Atlanta production stopped after a crew member tested positive for coronavirus. So they said one of the crew members did test positive and that person was around the majority of the cast from the shelf. So everything is shut down right now until everybody can be tested in quarantine. They said, it's a really scary situation. It affects more than just the cast,

but their families as well. And I was telling you earlier and be behind the scenes. The New York Knicks they had to shut down their practice facilities. Also. That's the best for them, that's the best thing for them because of coronavirus. Some people test the positive there, it's a good excuse for the next this year. Okay, they suck all the time. Now they can just quit because

of coronavirus. Right at any point the cowboys too, all right now, the Xbox series X just came out yesterday and tomorrow is the release of the PlayStation five, and Black black Boy JB has a theory on who is buying these gaming systems. Here's what he had to say. PlayStation they got on prior colors. So PlayStation is supposed to be for the gays and Box supposed to be for the scream by saying that the gays can't play the Xbox. But I'm just saying, never heard that logic

ever in my life. He needs to salute the Blackboy JB for, you know, really being a deep thinker with that one K station. Never heard that one ever. Okay, sut, Xbox. They sent me one year, but they sent you goddamn Xbox on night. It's funny because I have like an Xbox in every room at my house. For some where there's a TV, I don't know what. I prefer the floor, shut up. I prefer Xbox because I got an Xbox crazy, but I like PlayStation. And there's a game I actually

want that's only coming out on PlayStation. That's the Miles Marat a spider Man. So you like the PlayStation better than Xbox. No, I like Xbox, but there's a game on PlayStation, and I don't know if it's coming to Xbox. And that's the Moral Spider Man game. You bought the PlayStation. I don't have a PlayStation. I thought he's about to buy. Okay, all right. Christina Aguilera has signed with Jay Z's Rock Nation,

so she's coming back out. It's been a while since she put out some music a couple of years, and she said ultimately that played a factor in her decision to leave the Voice. She said, when I what I was doing last year with Liberation was kind of a shedding of a certain skin on some level. Prior to that, I had given myself fully to television and being a part of a network that really wasn't quite the fit for me after the amount of time I put in. So she went to get grounded again. So now she's

went Rock Nation. Listen, she's a pure singer by the way that white girl can sing. Her ass off. All right, she got soul, so I'm sure I don't think she's lost her voice. I mean, I haven't heard her in a long time. But all right now it looks like gi Herbo and his child's mother already. Let you have gotten into it, and this is all about Tyina, gie Herbo's girlfriend, Tyina holding her son. So I don't know if you guys saw this, but there was a picture

that was posted. Some photographer took a picture and the son, your son looks like he's you know, like squirming around or whatever, annoyed. And she said, I don't want my son in public with her holding him because she told me at her own mouth that your son does not like her. So I don't want my son uncomfortable. That's what Ari posted, and then gie Herbo posted on Instagram happy hose ain't Haydn, and then Ari posted how they

got a cure for COVID and not herpies. So it seems like they're having this back and forth, yes over that. I mean, it's difficult when you have kids and somebody else's they're dating someone else, you know. I'm sure that's a weird feeling. Herpies is incurable. That's why they don't have them cure for it. It's not like they haven't tried, just haven't cracked the cold jet. That's all right. She's saying, how are they coming with a cure for COVID before

herpies when herpies has been around for so long? But why herpies? Like that was a rand the statement. Why she you make that statement? Like, I don't guess she was trying to insinuate that someone has herpes and oh, but that don't work if you slept with the guy, right, Yeah, yeah, that means that you might have too. People got to really think these things through the stuffy she was saying, it happened after we don't know. I'm just I don't know. You better hear about Ryan Henry at the end of

the day. No, that's some good to know what that was some good to you? Just feel like that. I wasn't sure. I didn't think you would. No, herpies T is always good girl. All right.
