You just have to figure out what's going on because it's setting up everything for you. Yeah, it's great, but there's a lot of Swiss and turns and a lot of people that are doing things that later on you're like, oh, that's why they did that. It's really good and it

looks amazing. You can tell they spent a lot of money on it. They definitely spent a lot of money on that. Absolutely positivity spent a lot of money on this.

You just listened to the morning. People have their own personal things going on, so we cannot ever take away from that. Shout out

You never know what you But let's get the show cracking, because this is getting uncomfortable and getting a little strange and weird. All right, all right, stephen A Smith will be joining us this morning. Okay, the good brother stephen A coming out right. Yeah, we're gonna show on ESPN plus I think on Monday, yep. So we'll kick it with stephen A.

Let's get the show cracking. Front page news, what we're talking about. Yes, we'll be talking about Donald Trump. Yes, finally publicly acknowledged that he's not going to be serving a second term. Man, we have that for you. All right, we'll get into all that when we come back. Keep it locked. This to Breakfast club goalmotive moting everybody and see Jake Envy, Angela yee, Charlomagne the guy we all the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Now.

I didn't see the game last night. Did you see the game last night? The Brooklyn Nets first to seventy sixes. No, I tell you what I was doing. Well, the Brooklyn next one, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant didn't play. The Philadelphia seventy sixes. Even though they got the best record in the league, they stunk up the place twenty turnovers, I believe. Yeah, And so I said one of their players got COVID so they had to stay overnight. Wow, So Kyrie and Katie didn't play any stool. Kyrie didn't play,

Katie didn't play. Uh Spencer Dinwoodi's out for the season. And they definitely still won. But I mean Philly had a terrible game though, like a terrible, terrible game. Wow. Okay, all eat what else we got? All right, Well, let's talk about Donald Trump now. He has finally admitted that he did not win this election, so he won't be serving a second term. He was reading from Metella prompt. He was Marry Samber and monotonous when he gave the speech.

And I don't know if he called himself condemning the rioters and the terrorists that went to the capital, but he also did tell them that he loves them. Here's what he said. I would like to begin by addressing the hainous attack on the United States Capitol. Like all Americans, I am outraged by the violence, lawlessness, and mayhem. I immediately deployed the National Guard and federal law enforcement to

secure the building and expel the intruders. The demonstrators who infiltrated the Capitol have defiled the seat of American democracy. To those who engage in the acts of violence and destruction, you do not represent our country. And to those who broke the law, you will pay to First of all, that's that's what you call too little, too late. You can't be the catalyst of an attempted coup in America. I think five people did one police officer, and you

wait until apted that to concede. No, no, no, sir. Donald Trump needs to be arrested. Nothing more than nothing less. Everyone has thow him the capital should be arrested, and everyone who encouraged folks to invade the Capitol should be arrested. Is absolutely nothing else folks should be talking about nothing but a lot of people in his cabinet. Cabinet had started resigning as well as people that have been supporting

him and working with him. Other people have been considering resigning, and from what people are saying inside the White around the White House is that he actually gave the speech because of people's threats to resign. And they're also talking about impeaching him. Now here he is recognizing finally that he did not win this last election. We must get on with the business of America. My campaign vigorously pursued every legal avenue to contest the election results. My only

goal was to ensure the integrity of the vote. Now Congress has certified the results, a new administration will be inaugurated on January twentieth. My focus now turns to ensuring a smooth, orderly, seamless transition of power. After you didn't burnt the place down right like stop man. I told y'all yesterday, when attempted cools happen in other countries, they line you up and execute you the same day. So therefore, there has to be consequences and repercussions for what happened yesterday.

This can't just be another headline. This isn't just another slap on the wrist, you know, just chalking it up to Trump and the support is being crazy. No examples have to be made. People got to be thrown under the gym, right. It's interesting that if they would have just arrested people on the scene, we wouldn't be going through this trying to identify people. Now they're asking for tips for people who were spotted at the capitol and

involved in these riots. But if you would have just arrested them there, we wouldn't have to do this now. And I don't respect anybody in his administration who's just resigning. Now, Okay, what did you just see? Why did you just come to that conclusion. It's only twelve days left for y'all to be in office. I don't respect that resignation. Knock it off, all right, have a job in twelve days. Y'all got a job in twelve days anyway, So what's the point of resigning. You just get an early start

on vacation. All right, Well that is your front page news. All right, thank you, miss ye get it off your chest eight hundred five eight five one oh five one.

Happy New Year, brother, Happy New Year to you guys too.

Man Happy Friday. I'm calling about Trump and why we should get him out before um these twelve the twelve days are up. Um. If we get him out now and they impeach him, then we ain't got to worry about him four years him now, and God knows, I'm tired of hearing his name. I'm tired of all the attention he gets. I just want to get rid of him and get him out of here. But I call for two things for that. And on the light of note, somebody you got envy your friends with friends with Nori.

Nori is the friends in the room up there at the breakfast club, and someone times to stop talking over stop talking over his guests on Drink Sham. I swear to god, I love Drink shamp so much. But Nori step on every game. That's part of the show. He's been doing it for Yeah, yeah, I think that episodes are like four hours long. He talked, he asked the fast he has. He has the best guest, and every time he asked the question, he talks right over him

and kills the question. Please. But that's the beauty of Nori though like that, that's the beauty of though whole drink champs pody him dj A ask a real good question that you're gonna like, yo, you're waiting to hear the answer, and then he steps on the person and the never answered, and you're left teach him how to interview one of yours. Teach when you start drinking. That's just what happens, that's right. And Nori don't read the

comments on YouTube because everybody study by the way. By the way, even if Nora did read the comments on YouTube, he wouldn't care. Dropping a clues bomb for Nori in the Drink Chat What podcast four hours that's good, but it's good information. Man. I love doing Norise podcast. You know what it is when you do Norise podcast is not an interview. You're sitting down, you're drinking, you're smoking, you're reminiscent about good times, and you just start having

a good conversation. So that's Nori man. And you got to listen to Norise podcasting parts. You know what I mean. You don't, I don't. I don't listen to it in one sitting takes me a couple of days. And and and make sure you can catch the Drink Champs pod cast on the Black Effect. iHeartRadio podcast network too. All right, Hello, who's this? What up? Though? This man from Detroit? What up? Dough? Get it off your chess man, look work like I

am every day. I work for the post office, and man, congratulations, that's white. I need y'all to make sure we did some type of compensation we didn't had with these first round of checks and people. Now we had to did these ballots at people. Now, we got to deal with mold checks and people like, man, this is ridiculous, and we get snow love and y'all, y'all still haven't gotten the funding y'all needed to get all of that done.

Y'all still not at the crazy man man. Y'all got a platform, y'all can talk to anybody at any time. Please do something for us. This is ridiculous. Yeah, to fund the police and fund the post office. Fund the post fund, the post defund whoever the fund the post office man. Yeah, just imagine how we would fail. How we fail when we're not getting our mail. We get

so mad. And yeah, that's a difficult thing to having to deal with the people who not getting these checks that they just not sitting out that they expect to be in the mail box already. Yeah, I've been seeing me off fighting people out there. I've been people trying to swing on y'all for them checks and all that. And I posted a picture yesterday of me and me and the post Office and the reason being it wasn't for the post office. The post Office helped my career

with the cash on delivery. When I used to do mixtapes, I used to go to the Post Office with a hundred packages and send them Mountain. So I just want to saluted them yesterday. So boy, well, we appreciate it all. Let you do bro, all right, abody, get somebody over here to make them Christ is about us, man, that's what you could do for us, please, Okay, all right, let's figure it out. And next time somebody runs up

on you and say where's my check? You say, man, I was thinking the same damn thing, where's my check? My goodness? All right, get it off your chest? Eight hundred five eight five, one oh five one. If you need to vent, you can hit us up now. We got rumors on the way, yes, and we are going to be talking about casting over us since we have to shout him out because he's wondering what's up with us? And we told you about him raising money for Bill, but now it doesn't look like they want him to

get out of jail. We'll tell you what they're saying about Cassanova. All right, we'll get into that next. Keep a lock this to Breakfast Club. Good morning the Breakfast Club. It's about Angela Yee on the Breakfast Club. Well soho Karen aka Maya Ponsetto has been arrested in California. She's the one who allegedly assaulted the fourteen year old son of Keion Harold, who is a famous jazz musician at a hotel in Sohoa, Manhattan, and she finally got arrested.

You know, she was basically trying to say that she suffers from anxiety, so on and so forth. But she did accuse him of stealing her cell phone at the hotel and tried to attack him and snatch his phone. So just keeping it. I'm glad you got arrested, but um, I don't have no faith that she will be convicted,

not after what I saw this week. You know, like these folks literally get away with murder, like literally all right now, the Lakers would reportedly like to visit the White House after Joe Biden takes office, So they're very interested in doing that after Joe Biden has been sworn in. So as you know, Lebron's not a big fan of Donald Trump at all, and a lot of people are saying this visit will only happen if the schedules of the team and Joe Biden's line up for that opportunity,

and then obviously have to have those COVID nineteen protocols. Well, the only reason the Lakers need an invitation is because they're black. When you're when you're a white in America. You can. You could just run it and you could

just stole it without without an invite. All right, Michelle Obama, she also has talked about these pro Trump riots and she shared her thoughts on everything that happened at the Capitol, and she talks about the massive difference between how police handled that situation compared to the demonstrations that happened last summer where Black Lives Matter. She said, it left me with so many questions, Questions about the future, questions about security, extremism, propaganda,

and more. But there's one question I just can't shake. What if these rioters had looked like the folks who go to Ebeneze or Baptist Church every Sunday? What would have been different? I think we all know the answer. This summer's Black Lives Matter protests were an overwhelmingly peaceful movement our nations, the largest demonstrations ever, bringing together people of every race and class and encouraging millions to reexamine

their own assumptions and behavior. And yet in city after city after day, we saw, day after day, we saw a peaceful protesters met with brute force. So she did a whole letter. You guys should check that out where she talks about the terrorists that attacked the capital on earlier. I wonder if our former first Lady, forever first lady, I wonder if she still thinks we should go high. When they go low, we go high. Sounds like a strategy to get killed at this point. When they go low,

you got to go to the mat them. That's my personal opinion. All right, now, let's talk about Casanova. He's been trying to get out of jail on bail right now, and he raised two point five million dollars, but right now they are not trying to let him go now. According to a new court filing that the Feds have filed, they said that he has access to numerous firearms, dealt large amounts of weed for the guerrilla Stone Bloods gang, and they said he should remain in jail while awaiting

his trial. So they also have images from his phone and they're showing an assault rifle, an assortment of handguns, and a rifle, and they said his text messages revealed his branded marijuana served as a revenue stream for the guerrilla Stone Bloods. That's what the feds are charging right now. So it doesn't look too hopeful that he'll be able to get out, but a judge does still have to rule on his request for bill. He is facing a minimum sentence of fifteen years and a maximum of life

if he is convicted. And just on a side note, shout out to Castine shot. On a side note, if you have something in your phone, whether it's a picture, and you think that you have a code and they can't get through your code, you know they can get through your code to see what's in your phone. Everybody out you know a lot of people don't like you know, somebody, somebody stole my car and the reason they got caught was they had a picture of it in their phone.

And I guess they thought because they had a password. Look, the police can go to anybody's phone password or not. Just just so you know that. So if you put something funny on your phone, they'll get to it. That's why I laugh at these people when they say things like they don't want to take the vaccine because they're gonna put tracking devices in you. What the hell you think your phone is. They already got tabs on you. They know exactly where every they know every move you're

making it, how you moving it, knock it off. All right. Now, let's talk about dab Auntie. You know her, of course, it's black and Flocks mom, a manager extraordinaire. She's on growing up hip hop. Well, one thing you could tell they've been filming this way in advance. Uh So. On the premiere episode of this new season, she talks about her support for Donald Trump. I'm getting into politics a little bit more now than I've ever gotten a choice. I mean to answer you down for Trump? Right, yes,

you pro Trump, so pro tru? Why what with that? Because what you is, what you get. He could be ghetto, he could be everything. It is that people saying, I don't know why we'd be filmitted, because that's how the hell we do, and everybody people with it. That man is who he is and there's no hitting agenda. I mean that just because you know who someone is doesn't mean that that you know person isn't a threat to your absolute existence, or that they should president. Person could

keep it real and still get you killed here. That don't mean that he should run the country. All right, Well it should be interesting to watching, you know. Again, that's one thing that didn't age well. So clearly they filmed this in advance. I'm angela yea, And that is where kind of dated material at this point they should kind of edit that, don't do a reshoot. This is that's dated material. When when did that show from here? It just did? Yeah, aready out, it's my first episode.

That's just the first episode. That's just the first premier episode of the season. Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's still a president. It makes sense. Okay, all right, well we got front Page News next. What we're talking about, Well, let's talk about Joe Biden and what he has to say about everything that's happening right now about the Capitol, Donald Trump and all of that. All right, we'll get into that next.

It's the Breakfast Club Good Morning, where if the world most dangerous morning to show to Breakfast Club Charlemagne and God. Angela ye, it's time for Front page News. Yes, I talk about how Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer they called yesterday for the immediate removal of Donald Trump after the breach of the Capitol by all of the rioters that he incited on Wednesday. Here is what Pelosi has to say and calling for this suggicious act.

President has committed an unspeakable assault on our nation and our people. I joined the Senate Democratic Leader and calling on the Vice President to remove this president by immediately invoking the twenty fifth Amendment. If the Vice President a cabinet do not act, the Congress may be prepared to move forward with impeachment. I don't see what's the point in any of that, with him being out of the White House in the next thirteen days. Somebody, somebody has

to explain that logic to me. It don't make sense to me that he had what twelve days left like to drag his ass out, right, I mean, and the way that Donald Trump's ego works, I'm sure that would just be the ultimate below to him though, because everything that he does is very self serving. So I'm sure he's already been impeached. And that's the other thing we keep saying we need to impeach him. He's been impeached already.

Impeach again. All right, now, let's talk about Joe Biden and what he had to say about these rioters at the Capitol. Here is Joe Biden. It was chaos. They were protesters. Don't called them protesters. They were a riotous mob. Insurrectionists, domestic terrorists. It's that basic, is that simple, And I wish we could say we couldn't see it coming. Joe Biden also said what we all already know. Listen to this.

No one can tell me that I had been a group of Black Lives matter of protesting yesterday, there wouldn't have been. They wouldn't have been treated very, very differently. And the mob of thugs that stormed the Capitol, well we all know that's true and it is unacceptable. American people saw it a plain view, and I hope it's

sensitizing that what we have to do. Man, Folks like Joe Biden sat back and watched this type of racial injustice happened for years in this country, and now he's saying things like he hopes just woke people up to what's going on and what we have to do, like knock it off, Joseph, Like just yesterday he said this wasn't America, and now he's basically saying this is America. Stop it, okay, stop stating the obvious and using words like unacceptable for a situation like this. That's a weak

word to use. Right now, when they get your order wrong at Chick fil A, that's unacceptable. This was treason and attempted coop, something folks get executed for in other countries. Did Joe call for any arrest yesterday? Is he talking about getting the president locked up? Is he talking about locking up any of the domestic terrorists? The members of Vanilla isis and our crack of that was wilding at the Capitol? Did he talk about that? Bro? They never get your wrong and Chick fil A, I just want

to put that out there, by the way, I put that. No, they know every every night and listen, I agree with you, but every now and then on very rare occasions. And that's why it's unacceptable, joker. The FBI is seeking information on people who did storm the capital. They're asking for the public to help identify those individuals who were a quote, actively instigating violence. You have you can just arrest at

them right there, walk them out, Adam, right there. It was one picture you held held a lady's hand and helped the down the stairs. Just going, by the way, just go on Instagram. The guy Richard Barnett from Arkansas that broken the Nancy Pelosi's office in Stoler mail he's been doing interviews. All right, he had his feet up Pelosi death. He'd been doing he literally tried to get booked on the Breakfast Club. Okay, I'm lying, but my boy, you've been Trent. He's been doing interviews like his name

is Richard Bartnett. How to how ig can find them before the FBI stop? Man, It's all bs well right now, the FBI is accepting tips and digital media including photos and videos. Oh my god, go on my Instagram page. Follow Sean King. FBI follows Sean King. You will get all the information you need right now. As of last night, the police made fifty two arrests, including four for carrying pistols without a license and one for a possession of a prohibited weapon. And they said twenty six of those

fifty two arrests were made on Capitol Grounds. Gold lock up Richard Barnett, all the other members of Vanilla Isis and Al Cracker and go arrest Donald Trump and Donald Trump Junior and all of those people for conspiracy. It's so amazing to me that they can come through hoods of America and you know, the FBI can lock up multiple people, hit folks with conspiracy charges that didn't have anything to do with nothing, just was standing next to a person. But they can't do that in this situation.

Come on now. A US Capital Police officer also died from injuries that he suffered while reportedly being struck in the head with the fire extinguisher during the riots on Wednesday. Brian D. Sick Nick is his name. It collapsed when he returned to his office and he was taken to the hospital and he died yesterday. Come on now, Blue lives matter, all right, Blue lives matter. You had members of al Kaeda, al Cracker and Vanilla Issis kill a cop.

Why are they not under the jail right now? You mean to tell me there's no there's no cameras in the Capital building. They can't identify these people. And the Capital Police CHI has also resigned after criticism over the whole mob that took over done and at one black officer. He should get some type of raised, that well black officer that was fighting off all of them by himself, running back and forth swinging his club. Yeah, he should get it. He should get to eat. No. No, he

by himself, well, by himself against thirty people. You know why, you know, because he he hain't raised his gun and let that hammer fly. All right, Okay, if that was a mob of black people, whether that cop was black or white, he'd have pulled out his gun and got to busting. He thought twice because he saw all of the white folks coming at him. All right, well that is your rumor. I mean, I'm from Page News. That question the officer that that shot the lady. Was he black?

Because people said he was black? Do we know? I have no idea. I don't even know that was a police office. And I want to confirm or deny any conservitation they said, all right, they shoot, they shoot to kill. You can't even get you get close to the president of the vice president. They tell you back away one time, and you don't pope. That's your ass, mister post man. Not all right now, people are that's front page. And now when we come back, Stephen A. Smith, we'll be

joining us. We'll kicking with stephen A. Smith. He got a new show. We're gonna be talking sports and a whole bunch of everything. So don't move stephen A. Smith. When we come back. It's the Breakfast Club money, It's the Breakfast Club. Pointing everybody as Steve ej Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne, the guy we are the Breakfast Club was still kicking

it with Stephen A. Smith. The other day, I'm watching basketball like I always do, and I'm seeing people not appreciate Steph Curry or do people forget what Steph Curry has done it for the league and how he changed They forget, they don't, They don't realize that. I'm not being hyperbolic when I say this. He's the greatest shooter man as ever seen. I agree. The other day he was in practice. He hit one hundred and five straight three pointers. That's crazy. And so when you look at

Steph Curry. And I explained this to Allen Iverson just about two weeks ago, because they would talk about Dame Dollar Damian Lillard, who I love. Damian Lillard average thirty last year and shot forty percent from three point range. It was the first time in his career he did that. Do you understand that Steph Curry shot better than forty percent from tea point range for the first ten years of his career first ten years? And I'm like, and I say, Ai, the brother moves is bad enough. He

can shoot from anywhere. But he moves without the ball better than most and he has a better handle than anybody that can shoot nearly as well as he could shoot in their career. He is the greatest shooter mankind has ever seen. I want to I want to expound on Envy's question because he was the biggest for the Holidays. You know, we had the Magic Bird era, the Pistons kind of disrupted that win in two championships. Then it was absolutely the Michael Jordan era. Then it was the

Kobe Shack era, the Spurs era. When we look back over the last decade of basketball, who would you say this era belonged to? Now? I know you're gonna say Lebron. But is it fair to say this is the Lebron Curry era the way it was the Bird Magic era. I think it's fair. And the only reason I think it's fair only from the standpoint that Curry's got three rings, five straight trips to the finals, and three those times he beat Lebron. That's right. Here's my caveat only for

that reason. Back to back MVPs don't count NBA history, you know, because Lebron was right there. Here's where Lebron gets it. You go to non straight NBA finals. You've been the ten finals in the last eleven years, and it's three different teams, and it's with the eye of the storm placed on your should to see. We don't

talk about it enough, but y'all can appreciate this. Le Braun growing up in Akron, being relatively poor and fatherless, having the trials and tribulations, to struggles and building himself into what he is is an entirely different story than you being Steph Curry, light skin, good looking brother smaller, So people identify with you more because you look at Lebron. Everybody can't be six nine, two sixty, but you can be sixty three, you know, one eighty. You see what

I'm saying. And you grow up in a well to you in an affluent lifestyle because your brother, your father was an NBA player. Um beautiful family, North Carolina, comfort zone. All of that stuff, some of the trials and tribulations, some of the some of the adversity that other dudes face you didn't have to endure. So there's a level of comfort that you capitalized off of that may have persisted in your ascension. Lebron came from the gutter and

rolls to unparalleled heights. And that's the difference. And that's why we can't ignore that this is the lebron era. Now, now let me ask, I know you a Knicks fan. Yeah, pretty good. Nick are doing all right now right now. So let's look at New York. What do you think about the Knicks and what do you think about yeas Brooklyn Nets Well, first of all, he thought the Knicks are playing with house money. Um, we don't expect anything from them. They got a damn thing because they've been

sorry for too long. But worldwide West, William West, that's my man. We go back years Scott Perry being an African American servant, as did GM. Thank god they didn't let him go when they let Steve Mills go as president of the team. And then Tom Thibodeaux is an exceptional coach and he's going to have you playing hard, and he's going to have you defending. And the fact that the New York Knicks are devoid of a bona

fide star means they got to use their bench. So you got a constant rotation of like nine, ten eleven players sometimes being used, which means they got fresh legs and they can defend and really go after you. That's what we're seeing right now. We'll see how long that lasts. For as far as I'm concerned, if they finished five hundred and thirty six and thirty six with the seventy two game season, I'd love that. The Brooklyn Nets Angelo are a different matter. Anything less than a trip to

the NBA Finals is unacceptable. I agree. Kevin Durant is one of the top two players on the planet. I don't give a damn what anybody says. And Kyrie Irvin is an absolute show stop. But he's blocks office, got the nastiest handling, basketball confessional, basket can shoot. The brother is special. Those two in the Eastern Conference should be enough, but they also have Carris Laverne who can ball, and the Joe Harrises and the Jared Allens of the world.

These guys can contribute to something. I love the pick up of Jeff Green. I didn't like Steve Nash as the coach. I like Steve Nash as a person, but I had a problem and I called the white privilege when he got the job. I don't know of a black man that has never coached on any level that would get that job. I didn't say a coaching job Mark Jackson. Ever, coach Doc Rivers hadn't coached at the time. You know, there's been others. Derek Fitcher hadn't coached at

the time. We get that they didn't get that job. But right now, the reason I bring it up is because they're talking about Steve Nash. They're talking about the teams a little bit soft and talking about they got some roles to consider because they don't play good defense, etc. Etc. Well, if you had a coach with more experience, that might not be an issue. Let me out of your question, stephen A, do you have a stop and say to yourself,

I am the face of ESPN. Like when people think ESPN, they think stephen A. Smith, Like, that's a hell of a position for a black man to being. I think about it a little bit now because of the check that I get, the fact that I got that new contract, all right, But I never I never wanted to hear that prior to my last contract because my attitude is I ain't getting paid like it. I want to hear

that nonsense. Y'all could go to the nonsense or y'all want you, But these people ain't paying me what I deserve, what I earned, the money that I had, the revenue that I generate, the money that I bring in, etc et cetera. But after this new contract is safe to say, I can't really say that now. So because of that, I have to change my tune just to touch and recognize the fact that, you know, I'm the face of ESPN. But what I'm most proud of is that they've never

asked me to compromise something I would never compromise. And that's my blindness. And and for me, you know, I prode myself. I'm not just a black man. I'm a brother, regardless of what people want to say and how they want to come at me. I tell folks all the time, you can't find a brother that does what we do. That can a brother sister that can ever say I didn't try to help us along the way. I make sure to address diversity issues. I make sure that with

my show, there's gonna be diversity on the show. My boss is black, my executive producer, my number two is black. He's Rashan McDonald. Used to work with Steve Harvey. Yeah, yeah, that's right, that's my number two. Guy. He's he's he's my I brought him on board. He works for me under my production on stuff like that. I may get all his money and making all these moves. Okay, I get in well, Joe Bro, I'm coming for you too.

I'm not. I'm not playing because I just I want to be the guy that's a that that serves as a conduit, like I said earlier, to make sure that voices other than myself contribute to my voice. I don't want to be the only one that's hurt. I want to show showcase. I want I want to hear when Charlottagne calls, he gives me the donkey or the day or the donkey or the week Award. I want to know why. I want to hear. Stuff like that don't bother me. I'm like, okay, you know I you know

iron sharp is iron, We correct one another. That's the kind of stuff that's important to me. It's always been important to me, and now I'm in a better position to make it happen. Obviously, there's people that I answer to. I have bosses, but I'm not just a talent. I'm a boss now, and so I try to make things happen where you be. I never bet on no, I never bet on sports ever. Say, for example, I bet on Lebron to win the finals and then he go out and mess up. Say if I bet on JR.

Smith and then he forget that the score is tired or something like that, and I go off, come awful. People come at me like, man, you're just going on because you lost your money. You lost money. I don't do that. I don't. I don't give that kind of ammunition to anybody like that. I'm on the up and up with all of that. Right, well more, we got more with stephen A. Smith. When we come back, don't move.

It's to Breakfast Club, Go Morning Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne, the guy we are the Breakfast Club were still kicking it with Stephen A. Smith. Is James Harden the cry baby. People are saying to James Harden as a crybaby, what are your thoughts? I don't, I don't. I don't view James Harden that way. I got a lot of love for James Harden. I think that here's what we have to appreciate about James Harden. James Harden shows up Brock. He came into this season. Let's let's

call let's call him what it is. He looked fat. He looked fat. He looked about twelve fifteen pounds overweight, no training camp, no preseason, and drop forty four game one. You see said that that's entirely different than the way Haskins quarterback for the Washington football team. You know you got strippers coming in and you know you during the middle of the week you're supposed to be the quarterback

of the team. You've been sticking up to joint, and then you stick up to joint that Sunday after it happens no one of the yass got cut. James Harden doesn't do that. He's mad when he ain't playing thirty five forty minutes a night. He's never engaged in load of management. So we have to take that into consideration. What he was saying is that I'm not in a

winning situation. I window in Houston is closed. Get me up out of here, man, Don't leave me here to carry this when you know we don't have what we needed. The problem is he had a lot to do with that. He wanted to white Howard. Then he didn't want them. He wanted CP three, then he didn't want him. A matter of fact, he walked into the offices of the Rockets that night they lost, and they lost in Game six. He walked into the offices with the owner with the gym.

He said, I want CP three out of here. They got CP three out of there. They got your boy, Westbrook and then y'all didn't want to play together either. They still boys, they still type. They don't want to play together right because westboth didn't want to stand around and play the roller spectator watching. You know, James Harden dribble all day. What I'm saying is they gave you what you wanted, So I do understand when people want

to come at him. What I would say is that one of the most prolific offensive players we've ever seen, who never cheats us. He shows up and he shows out, and I'm gonna give you your props in your respect because you do that. What team do you see him on this year? I thought he needed to go to Brooklyn or Philly because I didn't think there was anywhere else for him to go where he'd be a title contender.

Because obviously, with the money he's making, you got to give up assets in order to get him, because the CBA rules and collective Bogny rules call for your salaries to fall within eighty five percent of one another. So you can't trade a forty million dollar player for somebody making five you know what I'm saying stuff like that, unless they got significant money under the cat, which most teams do not. And so as a result of that, you look at Philadelphia, him would embat in the rest

of their crew year. But right now, Doc Rivers got them looking like the best team in basketball. They got the best record in basketball in Brooklyn. I personally believe the only chance you have to beat Lebron this year in LA with Anthony Davis, it's for James Harden to join k D and Kyrie in Brooklyn. Otherwise Brooklyn and will lose to LA in the finals, or you know, or they won't get there. But you have basketball to go around if that happens. Kyrie already taking more shots

than I agree. I agree, but I'm talking about chances. I'm saying they would have to modify that because already it's a problem in Brooklyn. You can't have Kyrie shooting more than KD. Now Katie's efficient, So it don't matter because even though Kyrie's taking three more shots than a game than him, He's still averaging two points more than Kyrie.

All I'm saying is the chance of beating Lebron. I can't see Brooklyn or anybody else knocking off Anthony Davis and Lebron James in the finals of Parents without James. Harden got you. I know you gotta get up out of here. My final question, do you have a desire for people to see who you are beyond the sports? He had to some degree, only from the standpoint that you know again, I don't want to pigeonhole myself. I

don't want to be somebody that's just about sports. You know when Pete, when I remember when and I and I tell you, my white boss, is this a lot of times I've said this to them A lot of times. White folks come to work with a job to do every day. We come with a responsibility. And what I mean by that is, I remember when Trey von Marne got shot. I'm walking down the streets and black folks walking up to me. Steven, are you got to touch

on this? Steven? Are you gotta say this? Yet that wasn't a sports story, but they said it was necessary. And then when the Miami he put on their hoodies, they really said, you gotta touch on this. Now. I was going to any way, but they were telling me that white folks don't hear that. You don't see white folks going up to other white folks saying that you got to do it. So understanding that black folks feel that way, why do they feel that way. It's not

because of me. It's because of the position that I'm in. I have a platform that most of us don't have, and so what they're doing is calling upon me to bring light and to bring attention to things, just the same way you might ask an athlete too, if not more so. Now with the athlete, you're asking them to

say something and be active in that regard. With me, you're not only asking me to say something, you're asking me to be that conduit others to speak as well, to make sure that I provide the platform for others that need to be heard to be heard. And I take that role very very seriously. I don't feel compelled to agree with any damn body is say what I don't feel, but I do feel compelled to make sure that even if you disagree with me, if you speak for a vast majority of us, you need to be heard.

And so what I try to do is make sure that I do that. And in that regard, that's where I look at myself beyond the world of sports, using sports to extend myself beyond it, to address more deeper issues, enlightening myself, educating myself either by reading more, watching more, learning more, but more importantly connecting myself with people I know no stuff so they will educate me as well.

And I add one question too. I wanted to ask about Lebron purchasing putting together a team to purchase the Atlantic team, what do you think that to do for the w NBA and had to we uplift the w NBA more said they can make more money, get more endorsements,

more people watch. I love it because I think that Lebron is pretty brilliant with a lot of the things that he does, and obviously he's conscientious, and I think him owning a w NBA team is more about getting it away from Leffler, the Senate figure that just lost in Georgia to Warnock. So I think that's what it's about for him more so than anything else, and I

applaud his position on that. What I would say is this, though, and I'll say this respectfully, that all of those females out there, you know, the fellas, we got NBA, we got NFL, we got Major League Baseball, we got the boxing, we got the UFC, we got all of that. These women have been out there busting their tail for years

trying to make the w NBA into something. Last time I checked, when you are successful in terms of ingratiating yourself with the average consumer out there, you usually are successful because you found a way to ingratiate yourself with that female audience. For some reason, females are not supporting the w NBA enough because if they were to, n w NBA would be far more successful than it is. So rather than folks talking about what the w NBA needs, how about the w NBA highlighting in the eyes of

women out there. Excuse me, We need all the support we can get from y'all, because when females step up and support you, you win. I agree on it, Steven. We appreciate you for checking in. Stephen A. Smith, Thank you for checking in, Brother Win started stephen A's World Abuse Monday this Monday, January eleventh, on the end restlation. Thank you so much, appreciate y'all, y'all take care. I'm

all right. It's to Breakfast Club stephen A Smith wanting everybody is st ej Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are to Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Cove the team. This is the rumor report

with Angela Yee on the Breakfast Club. Well, yesterday jay Z spoke at the OTC Markets camp Anabis Investor conference, and here's what he had to say, because you know, he has his own line of cannabis, Monogram cannabis brands, and here's jay Z. You know, this space is very complicated. As you guys know, black and brown people were affected by this cannabis industry at large proportions, you know, while at the same time not being allowed to participate. I

guess Michael numbers better like six percent. I think they're very small numbers. So the idea was to create a brand, create a house of brands, and create opportunity for those that were negatively impacted by this prohibition area. So what they're trying to do is have the largest portfolio of cannabis brands and other things that are affiliated with cannabis and make sure that black and brown people are involved

in that. Yeah, I think it's a huge block hole you can eat business with a lot of African Americans and black people trying to get into that business. Hopefully, you know, they were allow us to and take off some of those hot stipulations that they have. I mean, like the amount of assets that they want you to have is ridiculous. The amount of a lot of things, the regulations that they want you to do to have that company or to have a grow house is ridiculous.

So hopefully I do like they'll open that up a little bit more. Yeah, And I just love the fact that you know, guys like Hove and you know, there's there's other companies out there like you know, Raykwon and Chef with Citizens Grown who are just giving back to the people who were impacted the most because of the War on drugs, giving them opportunities to make money in the cannabis business. That's big all right. Now, Elon Musk

has passed Jeff Bezos. He is now the richest man in the world, and that is because the increase in Tesla share price pushed him past that. Jeff Bezos has been the richest person since twenty seventeen. Right now, he's currently worth about one hundred and eighty four billion dollars. But Elon Musk car company Tesla hit seven hundred and fifty billion for the first time on Wednesday, So Tesla

is worth more than Toyota, Volkswagon, Hondai, GM, and Ford combined. Wow, I wouldn't I wouldn't be mad on being number two on that list, though, you know that's a great list to be number two on. Yea, Yeah, don't kill the damn the top twenty please, all right now? Nope, was arrested yesterday and they're saying that he was reportedly arrested

on weapons charges in Beverly Hills. They said he was leaving the Montclair store arm Rodeo drive and he and three other men were surrounded by the police justice they were about to drive off in their black SUV. There's video of it, and according to reports, they're saying that he did have a loaded firearm. That's what he was taken into custody for, which is a misdemeanor. He's already out though, and he did already post in the studio still on time for the meeting, so looks like he

made it out immediately. Yeah. Absolutely, positively. No reason for the good brother the baby to be carrying a firear on firearms. He's got mad money. You can security, m Andy. By the way, I don't know if he had to fire on him, you know, in this situation, but I'm just saying I hope not because he got security. All right. Now, let's talk about Clubhouse, because it goes down on Clubhouse,

all kinds of secrets are told. Well, my guy Dads was on there from the Dog Pound and he was talking about why Snoop and Eminem might have some issues.

Here's what Dads had to say. When I was talking to Snoop one time, he said that he asked Eminem and them to get on his soul, you know that, to get on his album, and they told him no, and Snoop felt some type of way like I did all listen all that and they tell me no, and you know, Snoop like, now, nobody tell me no. But Eminem probably didn't even know that Snoop act to do so that probably was Paul Rosenberg and saying no. So he took it personal. They took it personal as he

should have. He should have took it personal as much as Snoop did for for all of them and helped him. Yeah, and I asked you get on my album. You told me no, I would take it personal. Yeah, but I understand what dads are saying because he might not have spoken directly. You know how sometimes you go through a person to get to the person, through another person and

then the artists you wanted to. Because I can't imagine Eminem saying no to Snoop just personally, like I don't want a key with So it could be that he didn't even know Whop ain't got to go through twenty people to get the Eminem though exactly. But but either way, why the hell is Eminem so sensitive? Eminem would get on records and say what he wants about people for years. But as soon as Snoop said, you know, M's not in his top ten, and Snoop was objective, Snoop said, yo,

M is in a lot of people's top ten. He's just not in mind. What did that really warrant? I don't think that's what he was upset about because he Eminem said he wasn't him saying it. That's fine. No, I think it was you heard him I could live. I think it was because he said he could live without him or something like that. Eminem has killed so many pop artists in his music. Okay, he's talking about people, not living, not living without people. He's killed so many

pop artists in his music. Why. I think it's because they can't said. I think it's because he thought they were cool with each other. It's different when it's somebody you don't care about and they say something about you. But if you like damn, where did that come from. I'm sure Snoop thought they were cool too with stoop As before to be on the album and they said no, I mean you heard what that said. Though he thinks it was a misunderstanding, he probably Eminem might not have

even known. That's his manager, that's his right hand in like she'd be the same thing. We just don't know what happened. It could have been a misunderstanding. I'll say this, Eminem must be tone definite because he hasn't heard his own tone over the years. If you don't like somebody's tone all of a sudden, like come on, you're eminem man, knock at all. I mean, if he felt a way

about it, he could be honest and say it. I think that's fine, right, But don't you think that's a little hypocritical, especially he's said what he's wanted about people for years. I mean, I think if you cool with somebody and then they say that about you and it comes out of nowhere, and you like, damn, where did that come from, it's probably different than if it's somebody you don't know or mess with. But anyway, that is your room of report. I'm Angela yee, all right, thank you,

miss ye Charlemagne? Who are you giving your donkey too? You know, I'm giving donkey today to members of our Cracker and Vanilla isis? I know yesterday I gave America donkey today, But today I'm doing my civic duty and we have to help the FBI identify some of these fools. So okay, I'm just gonna do my job this morning. That's all, okay, So snitching is okay today, right, just being there, Yes'm I'm a civilian, prell. I know I know you mad because we said something about the eminem Ye.

But yes, I'm a civilian. I'm fine the question. It's okay, they said, I'm Pharrell. I'm telling everything, especially on these members of our Cracking Vanilla Isis absolutely because they would do it to us in a heartbeat. All right, donkey, the day's up next is to breakfast local morning. I was born a donkey. It's the Donkey Devil Breakfast club. Yes, donkey today for Friday, January eighth goes to members of

al Cracker and Vanilla Isis. Now. I know I gave America donkey to day yesterday for what happened at the Capitol Building. But this morning, I am performing my civilian duties. I am a six figure taxpaying citizen in this country, and I am about to do something that the good brother Pharrell would proudly do. And uh, that's hi. Don't play it, Jack Drown. I'm not I'm not finished. That's wrong with y'all excited? Okay, Jesus Christ. I'm sure y'all heard Farrell on Drink Champs with n O R and

DJF in a couple of weeks ago. Drop on a clue bomb for Drink Champs. If you haven't heard the conversation. Make sure you go check out that episode on The Black Effect. iHeartRadio podcast network wherever you listen to podcast. Now, can we play a little clip of what Farrell had to say dramas. I'm not a tough guy, bro, I'm really, I really believe in paying taxes because when you pay taxes, you shouldn't feel a no kind of way Dolan nine one one Farrell, I'm with you. That's not snitching, by

the way. You want a criminal and you aren't committing crimes with any of these people. Okay, and I've told y'all before I have no problem seeing something and saying something simply because I am not in the street, as I just said, I am a six figure tax paying citizen who has read enough Spider Man comics and watched enough Spider Man movies to know that if Peter Parker had stopped that guy who robbed the dude who didn't pay him after that wrestling match, Uncle Ben would still

be alive today. Okay, See what your uncle Charlotte is using Marvel comics to explain to you is when you see something and don't say something, you just keep recycling that something in your communities, and eventually that's something will come back to bite you. That's just the way it is. Okay, that person that you don't tell for committing a Hanohs crime will eventually doing Hanohs crime on you or someone

you love, period. So what that said. I was reading an article on CNBC and the FBI is requesting help from the public to identify US capital rioters their words, not mine. Yes, the FBI is demanding help to find those domestic terrorists, those members of Our Cracker and Vanilla Isis because apparently, when it comes to them, all of a sudden, the FBI can't get into their Facebook and

Instagram accounts. When it comes to indicton rappers in PPP scameras, the FBI stands for Facebook and Instagram, But apparently now they need the public's health identifying people. I literally know who some of these members of Vanilla Isis and Al Cracker are because of social media. All right, FBI, don't act like you don't follow Sean King. You've been monitoring Sean King for some time now, and that man has found enough crackers in the past twenty four hours that

he could feed Polly and any other parent for a month. So, FBI, if you're not following, allow me, Charlomagne to God to do my cific duty and give you some names of the members of Al Cracker and Vanilla isis. It's incredible to me that the FBI posted on Twitter and Facebook to help in identifying the Capitol Hill terrorists when all these domestic terrorists are on social media incriminating themselves like they got an album coming out. Okay, now, the first

Alcracker ass cloud chase it is Jenny Cudd. Listen to her. We did break down Nancy Pelosi's office store and somebody stole her gavel, took picture sitting in the chair, flipping off the camera, and that was on Fast News. Patriots got down on the floor and were sitting in the house members and the Senator's chair. Jenny Cudd mission of guilt. Second Alcracker ass cloud Chase is Thomas Barini. Listen to him. Yeah, I'm Thomas Berrani from New Jersey. Can you show us

your hand? Yeah? How did you get that on your hand? Well? We had stormed into the chambers inside and there was a young lady who rushed through the windows. A number of police and secret services saying get back. They shot her in the neck. FBI, are you listening? Were just getting started. This member of Vanilla isis is Josiah Colt? Listen to him? I just caught in the capitabuilding. I was the first one. I hopped down into the chamber, and I was the first one to sit Nancy. That bitch,

she's a trader. She's treating is FBI. I don't know how you missed this one. Derek Evans. He is a member of the West Virginia House of Delegates. Did you hear me? He is a member of the West Virginia House of Delegates, a West Virginia lawmaker, and he participated in this home invasion of the US Capital. I've seen CNN, the New York Times, NBC News, CBS News, USA Today, the Washington Post, and a list of others. All these

outlets identify this man. But the FBI can't listen to Derek Evans as as as as he talks about al cracker storm in the United States Capital. George tracks, let's go, baby, FBI. Come on now. Last time y'all had it diseasy picking people up and identifying folks was when y'all locked up tray way. Okay, with the help of federal informant Daniel Hernandez. Now you know who else you can grab. Paul Davis, a Texas lawyer who got fired for being at the

US Capital h He was live screaming on Instagram. Listen to him or doing is demanding that public officials needs and many machines audit the ballance. There's a way to do it. We can solve this in two days. If this is a legitimate election unless respected, and if it's if Biden one, let's all go on with our lives now. My our producer, Dan drop on the clues bombs for Dan Dan founding all that audio. He don't work for the FBI. All he got his Google Okay. Not the

rest of the people I'm gonna name. They don't have any audio to that that we found. But this one is very important. I did I need this. Next member of Vanilla isis lopped up today, all right. His name is Richard Barnett aka Osama ben Racist. All right. He is the one who was in House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's office with his feet on the desk. He was the one who was posing with Nancy Pelosi's mail He's from Arkansas. He broke into Nancy Pelosi's office, he stole a mail,

and he's not in prison. FBI, what's up? What's happening? Okay, you need to help. I'm giving you all the help you need. You know, we got more people. There's a Florida fireman named Andrew Williams. All right, the dude who was in the Viking costume, who looks like he wanted a career at the time, square neck cowboy, but didn't have enough gas in his pickup trump to make it to the big city. His name was Jake Ane Jelly. And oh the guy who stole a podium. His name

is Adam Johnson. He's a father of five. He's thirty six years old. He's from Parish, Florida. What did your uncle Shalla always tell you about people in Florida? It doesn't even matter right now, the moral of the story is lock them up. I'm telling you right now. Do you need me to take the stand. Do you need me to come to court and start identifying people. I'm not Tariq Saint Patrick. I'm Nino Brown, Okay, and I'm not guilty. Track is the ones that's guilty. This thing

is bigger than Charlotta magnean God. We're talking Hellman's huge jars and jars of manage. Lock them up for treason, for staging an attempted cool give them all the mandatory ten year minimum Trump said he would give folks under the recently enacted Statue and Monuments Act. I encourage everyone who can hear my voice. This is your uncle Charlotte talking. Okay, this is Lenard, all right. The FBI needs our help. They are accepting tips in digital media depicting rioting our

violence in and around the US capital on January sixth. Well, I want anyone who can hear my voice to call one eight hundred call FBI. That's one eight hundred call FBI if you need the number because you can't read one eight hundred two two five five three two four. That's one eight hundred two two five five three two four. Or how about we just have a petty party with a purpose on the FBI's Twitter and FBI's instagram sending them all the names and pictures you can on both

their Instagram and Twitter. The handle is simple is at FBI. Send them all the picts. You find, all the names and make sure you use the hashtag al Cracker or Vanilla Isis. Go do that right now. That's our job all weekend until they start locking these members of our Cracker and Vanilla Isis up. We have to get these guys off the street because if they would do that to the Capitol, they would do that anywhere. As long as folks like that are on the street, none of

us are safe. And in the words of Chris Rock, I'm set out kata, I'm stet a Cracker. Please let Kathy Griffin give all these members of Vanilla Isis and Al Cracker the biggest Hea Hall. Please give this giant jar of male the biggest Hea Hall. Run do your jobs. The handle is simple, is at FBI. Send them all the picks and all the names you can find, since they're having so much trouble identifying these member is the Vanilla Isis and now Cracker, you should play blow the

whistle after this one boy. Whoa good job, Charlomagne, great job? All right, Well, thank you. I knew the son of a I knew the son of a police officer would feel that way. You should have gave addresses. That's what you should have did. But we carew that out of my water on the social media. All right. Now, up next we have Angela Ry. Angela right will be joining us. We'll kick it with miss Rod find out what's going on since we came back from vacation last week. All right,

so don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club Morning everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy we all the Breakfast Club on this Friday. We got a specially guess on the line right now our system, Miss Angela Roid, good morning, Good morning y'all. How are you going up? Farley? I am up so early because the Breakfast Club rang. I don't have to worry about impeaching him, or do we have to worry about impeaching because you gotta come, you know, m Envy,

I knew you were gonna ask this. And what's what's so crazy is you think about all of the times you raised this and all of the reasons why. It is one of those things where we got to the point where we would kind of laugh about it, but it was never really a joke. It's one of those things where in our culture, you know, we laugh to keep from crying. It is the thing that we say all the time about so much, whether it's interpersonal things in our families or when you have a crazy president.

And this is something that the culture has called from the very beginning. We knew who Donald Trump was before he was ever coming down the escalator, you know, trying to announce his run for presidency. We knew that he was crazy when he was calling Barack Obama or saying Barack Obama was not a citizen. He's the one who was the chief spokesperson of the Book Bertha movement. That's someone who would who should have really never had a

shot at being president. Yet here we are rules of law, broken, ethics violated like across the board, and here we are still talking about whether or not he should be impeached. And it should have never been a question. So, as you all probably know, Ilhan Omar, who of course is a member of the squad fantastic, brilliant member of Congress,

introduced another resolution for his impeachment. Just yesterday, Corey Bush, who is the incoming member from Saint Louis, Missouri, introduced a resolution for the members of the GOP in the House to be removed from office for the quotas for backing attempts to overthrow Biden's victory. Right, they are both

complicit and they should be impeached and removed. Well, don't think this call that a coup, that language they use, like, oh yeah, but I'm just telling you what specifically what it says in her resolution, but might take of many members and especially now finally members of the media calling

it an attempted who because it absolutely was. And so what you see here are the facts that now all of a sudden, I was on air with a Republican who said, you know, over the last two weeks, Donald Trump is just and he's like the last two weeks, He's been doing this the whole time. And I think for us, you know, it's not a direct form of gas slighting, right, It's not the thing where they're like,

oh no, the sky is orange, it's not blue. It is really one of those things where we're like, we've been telling you this, and we knew it was going to come down to this. Leonard, You've said for years now that the right wing media has kind of been gitting some of these things up, whether we're talking about the podcast or radio, or we're talking about what happens on Fox News. They've been gitting this up and they

are all culpable. And until there's something that is the ant that is antithetical to what is out there and right wing media, they're going to continue to listen to that garbage. Those face, Facebook chat like all of those things right have created this ecosystem of crazy and Donald Trump is at the center of it. What would be

the point of impeaching Trump again right now? It's very important to say again, because you have been impeached before, it would be the point to impeach him again right now? I was only twelve to his left. Well, and here's the reality of it, to come full circle back to Envy's original question as well, it is not likely. I'm sure the House, because they have the majority, could vote

to impeach him again. But there still is that second part where there's this Senate trial because they didn't impeach him from obstruction of justice before the Senate would have to go through the trial. And Mitch McConnell still has the majority. Because Raphael Warnock is not sworn in, Georgia's Secretary of State has until January twenty second to certify the results of the election for John Ossoff and Raphael Warnock,

So that still puts US at a disadvantage. Most importantly, that's not going to happen by January twenty is, which is when, of course Joe Biden becomes the President of the United States, and it's warning. But if Donaldtran getting arrested, what's the likelihood is something like that happened? And I see that he's trying to hiding himself as well and finding out about is that possible? So do you think that he could get arrested? Yeah, I think he could

get arrested. Here's my question. Will Merrick Garland, who was selected as Barack Obama Supreme Court pick because he was deemed acceptable enough by the Republican Party, moderate enough, you know, isn't radical enough. And in a lot of ways, I think that there should have been an Attorney general appointed, not Marrick Garland, who has some fight in them, who has a demonstrative record of being an advocate for issues

that people of color certainly care deeply about. But even when it comes comes to taking on something that will be deemed a squarely partisan fight, because unfortunately, even though publicans are trying to back away from it. Now we know it would happen if it was time for him to go to jail, because they would all be scared. I think him being prosecuted on this particular issue is gonna be tough for a Merritt Garland to take on.

And even with that, he still has to be nominated, right, He has to be nominated and approved voted on by the Senate, and it is a fifty fifty split with Kamala being the tie breaking vote right every time. So I think after John assaf and Raphael Warnock are sworn in,

his nomination will still be difficult. If they know that that Merritt Garland would be prosecuting Donald Trump, I think that all hell would break loose and it would be very tough for people like Joe Manchin and West Virginia who has sided with Trump, who endorsed Trump at some point, and John Tester and Montana who both who have racist coming up in the next cycle. You think they would

actually put an American president in prison. And the reason I say that is because both Republicans and Democrats were saying at one time they don't know how it would look to the world if it a president was actually in jail, even though they believed that Trump should be in jail. But do you think they would put him in jail the way it would look to the world, You know, I think that's really a great question, and being I don't know the answer to it, what I can tell you now is how have we looked to

the world for the last forty years now? You know, like we look crazy? Now we should be most concerned with ensuring that we do whatever we need to do at this point to protect our national security interests. The coup, you know at Leonard, as you so aptly put it the other day, this attempted coup has now demonstrated to other crazy people, proud boys, you know, right wing extremists, racists, that it is possible to break into the capital and put in jeopardy the lives of members of Congress and

Capitol Hill staff, of which I was one for six years. Right. There are people overseas a foreign adversaries who are watching this and see that that is now possible. That to me, if there is no jailable offense for Donald Trump, that is certainly one, you know, among all of the other things. Again that we've all talked to his family um for years now about all right, well now having it and some of his allies stepping down now right before he's no longer going to be president, to say, okay, I'm

stepping away and separating myself. Let's do that. When we come back. We have Angela right here. We're talking about everything that's going on in this world. Eight hundred five eight five, one oh five one. Don't oh, we're still kicking it with Angela Ry on this Friday. It's the Breakfast Club movie. I want to get to Bridy and cj Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne, the guy we all the Breakfast Club now, Charlemagne right now has that Teddy Rally

wifire His Wildfire is all over placed. Teddy, I know Teddy Raley, he's when we say that, but it's just old jokes. It's funny. It's Wildfire's outlet asked the question before we just left, right. Yeah, we were talking about some of Donald Trump's allies and members of the cabinet who are now stepping down. We su Divas has stepped down finally, and so I want to know what does that What is the meaning of even doing that? Right now, there's only twelve days left. This is what we call

the politics of convenience. Right. Elaine Chow, who is also the wife of Mitch McConnell, who's the Secretary of Transportation, is also resigning. You have the Social Secretary at the White House, Malania Trumps chief of staff, like all of these people now who are saying that, Okay, this has gone too far. And this is kind of what I was referencing at the top of the top of the interview, where you know, folks are like they finally have come to and see in the light and it's like, hey,

we've been telling you all this. We knew that it was going to come to this, and it's convenient for them. Why guess what they gotta do after January twentieth, when they about to lose their jobs, they gotta go somewhere else. They wanted to go sit on corporate boards. They want to go advise and be consulting and talking to clients

about how to engage with administrations. They're not going to be able to do that now that they are, you know they Frank he have bloody hands quite literally, right with four people dead because of an attempt at coup all at the hands of their boss. So they said, well, they tried to talk to Donald Trump to get him to talk people off the ledge. Well he just talked them onto that ledge. And he's been doing that since the election, right, So that's the real problem to me.

It's not all your courageous and you have all this integrity. No, you'reself serving, even when you look at what happened with Mark Zuckerberg saying that he was permanently now suspending Donald Trump's accounts on Facebook and on Instagram. Sir, that's right. I got so many questions. One question I had when he stormed Capitol Hill, right, the one cop to shot the lady, was he black? And why was he put

on death duty so fast? I mean, you see videos of officers shoot and kill black people with no weapons and is an investigation. Why was he put on death duty so fast? You know, I really want to speak to the emotion part of that conversation first. In the so many of us have these conversations when we're talking about another black person who was shot by the police, and we cannot figure out why it takes so long for the person to be fired. They're placed on administrative leave,

which often means they're still paid. Um. You know, we just saw the other day Jacob Blake's perpetrators are not going to be charged. Right. You have all of these instances where these things happen and we did not do anything. Here. You have people who are literally storming the capitol, many of them armed. You know, bombs found, um, explosive devices found at the capitol and right near the Capitol at our RNC headquarters. You have all of these things. Guys

were going to kidnap people. Yes, yes, you saw pictures with the guy with ziptize. All of these things happening, and yet and still, um, a black officer, to your point, was run from them knowing full well in his mind and be like, we're talking about that if he turns around and shoots these people, he's gonna be the one that go to jail. The fact that they that they bombarded their way with weapons into the capital be damned. Most importantly, what we are thinking about is the disparity injustice.

Knowing what we saw over the summer. U Dione, who's like a little brother to me in La got shot in the face with the rubber bullet and he wasn't doing anything. So how can we watch this happen? We can watch see Capitol police opening the gates. There was no plan to deal with these even though members of Congress, including Congress Human Waters, she tweeted yesterday, she told him this was gonna happen last week. Where was the plan? Why weren't you all talking with other law enforcement agencies

to ensure nothing like this could happen? So people, because why people don't look at other white people as terrorists, That's why. And also many of the folks who were involved in this best believe we're gonna find out real soon. It's a bunch of them who were a law enforcement of officials. For all your folks on the hill, how do they feel knowing some of those police officers were aiding and abetting, you know, those rioters, because that clearly was an inside job. How do you even keep anybody

that is a police officer there's still working right now? Yeah, I think it's a it's a great question. There actually needs to be a congressional hearing on this. What went wrong? Why could or why did this happen? Like everyone needs to get background checks again. Um, there's a good friend of mine, unique M Gibson, who is the founder of Because of Them We Can Her dad was a Capitol Hill police officer for years and he went through a litney.

She has a great threat on Twitter about this of all the things that went wrong and what happened even when Barack Obama was being sworn in, and the fact that they did random background checks on officers, they found some right that had problematic record and didn't let them engage with even Barack Obama's inauguration. That stuff should have been happening. Kamala Harris is a black woman. If they're mad, now,

imagine how they're going to be inauguration week. You know, there's a lot that we have to be thinking about. We don't know what this was the beginning of. Again to us, it wasn't the beginning. And that's why you have to get arrested because it there's no consequences and repercussions. This attempted coop. What happens next? Yeah, yeah, I agree

with you. It just feels to me like, you know, even seeing Donald Trump juniors posts where they're watching all of this happen on TVs like nothing is going on. It just feels like nothing matters and again, it goes back to what it means to be black in America

and to be constantly gas lit. You might not being directly be directly lied to, but what you see is this disparity and justice apply right, And I think that's something that this country really has to wrestle with them quickly, because now we're seeing that the ability to apply equal justice under the law to all of us could be deadly for many of us reconsidered thugs and they're considered

patriots absolutely. And we got to see on the Hill that day taking down the US flag that they were pissed at Colin about taking down that flag, that they say, we need to wear the flag pin and we need to pledge of allegiance to They took that flag down, put up a Trump flag. They were carrying Confederate flags all throughout the Capitol, right. If that's the case. Now, what we see very clearly is that the flag has always been a symbol of white supremacy. Those flags are

interchangeable to them. And that's what we know, and that is our reluctance to pledge allegiance to the flag. That is our reluctance to seeing this national anthem and that is why we don't see the flag the same way they do. Right, real quick, we gotta go and internet, we're going out. So I don't even know if you answered this to Night number one. Can he self pardon himself? And real quick? What is the twenty fifth permitment they keep talking about they want to use to get him up,

so really quickly on this pardon. I don't know the answer to that. That has never happened. I think that that is something that will end up being left to the courts if he attempted to do it. I think that there would definitely be, you know, some legal intervention where they say, hey, this isn't possible. This is not how this was designed nor intended. Of course, we know that he's not followed any other rule or law while

he's been in office. On the twenty fifth amendment, of course, that was created when John F. Kennedy was assassinated, and what it has been used I think six times in history, and the most recent time was when presidents fell ill. It's never been used because of someone's mental incapacity. And I think that the challenge we have here is the same thing. It's timing right, the same kind of timing

we were talking about around impeachment and removal. Just for example, when Gerald Ford became vice president under Nixon, that whole process took two months. We don't have that much time. So even though it should be invoked, I don't know that it will be in I definitely don't see the timeline there. Okay, all right, well, Angela, Right, we appreciate you for checking in. Thank you so much. Go check out that. Go check out that hotel's Angela ry your girl.

You're having to Sullivan dropped this out right now. Oh, I already know. I posted on her thing. I can't wait for this album, so I can't wait to hear it. But I'm not gonna let you in our met calling me no damn hotel. So I just know you enjoy your good hotel and the album came out. Okay, fair enough, I'll go enjoy the hotels, y'all. Enjoy your morning. All right, Angel Club, good morning, rumors on the way. It's the breakfast club. Listen, just oh my goshu reports Angel Angel.

It's the rule of report breakfast club. Yes, so last night I fox saw on my show, Established came on and I have Megan Good on and it was an amazing interview. And one thing that she talked about was freezing her eggs and she'll be forty and this, and she's talking about finally feeling like she's ready to have kids. Here's what she said. You know, I'm already and it's taking me a long time to get here. I'm like

a big Hollyberry fan. When I saw that she had her first baby at like forty, I was like, I think I'm gonna be like that. I never really aspired to marriage. I never really aspired to motherhood. And you know, once I got married and I realized that that can still work. You can still be who you are. It kind of now it's made me excited about motherhood because I'm like, Okay, I can work at both. I can still be the true identity of who I am and I can also be a mother and be a great one.

So I've just now gotten to that place, and I'll be forty next year and I'm like, okay by that time. Now. Megan good Ulso just directed her first feature film. It's called If Not Now When, so you can check that out. Did you know her father was a member of the LAPD Also, No, I didn't know that. Yeah, So she discusses what she has to say to her dad and the kind of conversations that happen at home. Yeah, and

you know, shout out to my wife Gid. She's been telling a lot of her friends for the last ten years that you know, you should freeze your eggs just in case you don't want to get to the age and you're not allowed able to produce the eggs as much, that you should always take it take it out and most some insurances do cover that, so you can definitely have those eggs on stats just in case I got mad home girls who got their eggs frozen. All right, now,

let's talk about bun By. He has confirmed that there is going to be a ug K versus battle, and it looks like it's going to be against eight Ball and MJG so probably will be against And he doesn't know that's going to be scheduled for it, but he said the very latest would be during springtime. He said it's kind of pushed back because of the Ashanti and Keisha call and they're trying to find the right time

to do a lot of this stuff. But it's gonna go down classic those brothers are forefathers of the South. A lot of country legendary rap tunes between eight ball and MGG and U G K. That is going to be a fantastic versus. Do we know when Keisha calling and Ashanti is gonna happen? No, they just said it was postponed again, so they haven't put a new day chat all Right now, Doctor Dre, they're saying, has agreed to pay two million dollars in temporary spouse of support

to his estranged wife. And he agreed to that from his hospital bed, so he won't have to pay the edition of five million dollars in attorney fees that she was requesting, and he also doesn't have to cover her security cost, but he will continue to pay her living expenses at their Malibua estate as well as her mother's Pacific Palisades home for the next several months. I need to know how long it's temporary. How long is temporary

in this situation? Well, they said at least until their next scheduled hearing in April, So that's just a one time check right now that he has to do for two million dollars, and then in April they have a scheduled hearing to figure out what's next. You know, if you're doctor Dre, I guess you got to look at the bright side and say, hey, at least I got it to give for the month. Can you imagine that?

Right in? A two million dollars check just for a month, temporary and being like whatever, man here, well until April. It's a one time check until April. So it's not just for one month, that's two. No, it's a lot. It's a lot of money. They were married for twenty four years though, and you know he acquired a lot of money during that time. M All right now, Little Wayne and Kodak Black reportedly are on Donald Trump's potential list of pardons, so they might who knows if he

pardons them. And I think the pardoners have to happen on the nineteenth because inaugurations on the twentieth, so that's when all those pardons are gonna happen. So we shall see they're on the list. I don't know if you know he's gonna feel obligated to do that right now because he's not going to be a president, but maybe he will, who knows. That would be great add big meet to that list while you're at and I would really wonder, um, I would wonder why. I would wonder

what is why would be like? What would his I mean, what would his why be for doing that? I would want to know why he would want to do that. I'm happy May because they supported why. I mean Little Wayne supported him, right, I'm sure Black asked for him to get asked for Trump to pardon though. All right, now, Jasmine Sullivan, her new Hotels project is out. She hates when people call it an album. It's her project that's

out and it's really amazing. So I really want to tell people this weekend while you're chilling, make sure you check out this project from Jasmine Sullivan. It's really fun and a good listen to.

It was trending. I don't be on those kind of websites. I didn't see that. It was on Twitter. He actually

walked into UM the room. It's like a video. He's waving a gun around the living room. And his pants are down and you can see his stuff. Blame swinging around, and he blamed it on his children's mother, saying that she put the security footage on her Instagram story by accident because she was playing too much.

You know, Clue have one, two, three, four albums all went platinum, So we get the first mixtape DJ to ever go platinum ever, and there has not been a DJ who's made better albums now, you know what to be I'll be. I'll be totally honest because I'm not a hater. The only other DJ who I think has made albums as incredible as DJ Clue

is funck Masterflex. That's right, my unbiased, objective opinion. Those sixty minutes of Funks were the Volume one, two, and three were though, But those are freestyles on People's Beast that was out of a totally two different things. But yeah, shout out to my brother Clue. We'll get on a Clue mix right now. It's the Breakfast Club. Good Morning Morning. Everybody is d d J Envy, Angela, Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. And let me shout out

to my brother DJ Clue. Today is Clue's birthday. Happy birthday, my Capricorn brother DJ Clue. Yeah, all know how I feel about Clue. If it wasn't for Clue, I wouldn't be the DJ right now. He's the one that introduced me to the music industry, introduced me to mixtapes, introduced me to the radio. He even introduced me to my car addiction. He was the first person that was heavy

into the cars and getting cars first. So I always say thank you to him because I know if it wasn't him, who knows that I would be doing right now. And I'm so grateful and appreciative. And that's why I try to encourage so many of the youth to do different things, whether it's entrepreneurship, or it's DJ and it's real estate, it's you know, anything it is because you want to, you know, put that positive vibes and that positive energy and the kids atmospheres out there. So thank

you to my brother DJ Clue. Salute to the good brother DJ Clue. Man drop on the Clues boss with DJ Clue, he is an absolute blast. So I feel like doesn't get through respect he deserves in our culture. But I also think it's because Clue doesn't tell his story enough, you know what I'm saying, Because you got to remind folks nowadays. If you don't, people forget man.

So salute the Clue and I thank Clue for being the gremlin that e'd after Midnight got wet and DJ and V popped off and Fabulous popped off, and it's a lot of it's a lot of it's a lot of people you know that that that were fruit off off Clues tree.

I feel like she gets more, she gets more than Clue, but she don't get the appreciation she should get, you know, Correct, Luther and Gi Martinez. Correct. And Angie's another one. If it wasn't for Angie would been doing radio. Angia had

when she had her son, Nico. She took maternity leave and they needed somebody to feel it, and they put me into that position and put me that spot, which actually gave me an opportunity.
