Yeah, because it's like, you know. Well, not reinventing. How do y'all celebrate, basically? Yeah. Make it special. Make her feel great. And how do they make you feel great? Because it's not. I. I've never felt like it's all about the women. It's not about the woman. It's about the couple. Like, what do y'all do? Do y'all just be chilling? Do y'all spend massive amount of money every year? Okay.
Charlamagne Tha God
If you don't do anything and you haven't done anything for a long time.
Caller
Yeah.
Charlamagne Tha God
Then that's what is expected on Valentine's Day. And then you can say silly stuff like, everything is Val. Every day is Valentine's Day.
Caller
I hate that, yo. That's the first thing somebody would say, y'all. Every day.
Charlamagne Tha God
Every day. Every day. Christmas, Valentine's Day. It's the truth, though. It's just a day. I don't even know what day it is.
DJ Envy
But you know what? I don't. I don't go out on Valentine's Day. Every time we go out with the wife, we never have a good time. Like, they try to rush you in and out. They seem like they cook the food fast because there's so many people there.
Caller
And they trying to get that money.
DJ Envy
What restaurant? Yeah. So flowers are extra. Extra expensive. Everything is extra expensive on Valentine's Day. So Valentine's Day, we just spend at the crib. We just watch movies. Just date night at the crib. And then we go out the day before and day after, but we spend, like, it's a couple days. But the Valentine's Day going out, and they rush you out, the whole, you know, the restaurant. The restaurant's cooking fast to get more people in.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah. Don't let society pressure you into having to celebrate on that day. It's too much pressure for no reason.
Caller
It's a lot.
Charlamagne Tha God
And Trump putting tariffs on everything.

Caller
Okay, why do we need that Mexican fag?
Charlamagne Tha God
Cause you dating a Mexican.
Caller
Yeah, I already knew that. Like, what are you talking about?
DJ Envy
Anyway, you ready to get the show cracking? Yes.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yes, we are.
DJ Envy
All right, well, let's get the show cracking. When we come back, we got front page dudes. Morgan would've be breaking down everything and of course. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page. Good morning, Morgan.
Jess Hilarious
Good morning, DJ Envy. Charlemagne the God and Jess Larius. Y'all doing all right this morning?
Charlamagne Tha God
Yes, ma'am.
DJ Envy
Yes, ma'am.
Jess Hilarious
All right, so here's the latest on the front page news. We'll talk tariffs, securing the border. But first, it is Black History Month. But the reality is not so much in the military as celebrations have been canceled with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth saying identity months are dead at dod. This comes as the federal government is starting to end cultural diversity celebrations. The Department of Defense and the Department of Transportation announced over the weekend that officials won't commemorate cultural awareness months going forward. This will end the recognition of months like Black History Month, Women's History Month, Pride Month among federal officials. Now, the new leader of the Department of Defense, Pete Hegseth, confirmed there will be no celebrations of, quote, immutable characteristics among employees. The changes come following President Trump's claims that diversity programs were responsible for the deadly mid air collision over Washington, Washington, D.C. any thoughts?
Charlamagne Tha God
Does he not understand that this. I would think that this helps to raise the morale of people in the military. Like, you know, everybody wants to be seen, everybody wants to be represented. You know, whether you black, whether you Latino, whether you a woman, whatever it is Asian. Like, you know, if you, you want to rep your set while you're repping the American military, you still want to rep your individual, individual set. And I think that's one of the cool things about the military that, you know, regardless of what you are, it brings everybody together in this one, you know, uniformed faction.
DJ Envy
But I think it's obvious that Trump doesn't care. He doesn't. And I don't think any, anybody that's under his reign cares about any of that.
Jess Hilarious
But to Charlamagne's point, you know, it could boost morale to at least be celebrated on a, you know, celebrate your culture, celebrate your heritage, celebrate something about yourself outside of what you are doing for your service that you're doing for.
Charlamagne Tha God
The Cinco de Mayo.
DJ Envy
I'm a, you know what I'm saying?
Charlamagne Tha God
Definitely. Why they out there in the field? I'm serious. They out there in the field, they want to drink some tequila, eat some tacos. Like we can't celebrate each other.
Jess Hilarious
Listen, you segue right into what I'm trying to talk about. So U.S. defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said it's a new era at the southern border. So all that Cinco de Mayo tacos, tequila stuff you talking about. Nah. Hegseth, along with border czar Tom Holman, visited El Paso, Texas on Monday to meet with troops manning the border, saying it's time for the US to gain control of the border with Mexico. Let's hear more from Pete Hegseth.
DJ Envy
Guys and gals of my generation have spent decades in foreign countries guarding other people's borders. It's about time we secure our own border. The charge that the president has given US to get 100% operational control of the southern border.
Jess Hilarious
So Hegseth also blamed the Biden administration for allowing undocumented migrants to come into the country. This, of course, comes as Trump declared a national emergency at the border, signed several executive orders to crack down on immigration at the start of his second term.
Charlamagne Tha God
I want them to get the border under control. I just don't understand why they being fun police with everything else. Like what does people not being able to represent, I guess, their individual identities, what that got to do with getting the border under control?
Jess Hilarious
Oh, it's all about. It's all about the border. You know, everything boils down and boils back to the border. I mean, helicopter crashes, plane crashes, it's DEI and the border, I'm not sure. I don't know. But speaking of Mexico, we were talking about tariffs yesterday, right? Tariffs on Mexico and Canada. Well, they will be put on hold for a month following meetings with officials. President Trump's decision comes after he met with Mexican Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum on Monday day. And Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau later that afternoon in a post on X Shine Bomb said Mexico will send 10,000 National Guard members to the U.S. border to prevent drug trafficking into the U.S. on Truth Social, Trump said the U.S. will negotiate with Mexico to attempt to get a deal done regarding tariffs between the two countries. He spoke more about that at the White House yesterday. Here's what President Trump had to say on tariffs in Mexico and we're going.
Charlamagne Tha God
To have a big negotiation with Mexico. I'll be involved, too, and President Scheinbaum will be involved to see whether or not we can work something out on the tariffs. We've agreed to talk and consider various other things. We haven't agreed on tariffs yet and maybe we will, maybe we won't, but.
Jess Hilarious
We have a very good relationship in regards to Canada. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on social media that after, after a good call with Trump, Canada will implement a $1.3 billion plan to reinforce the 10,000 frontline personnel working to protect the border and stopping the flow of fentanyl. Tariffs against China are still set to go in effect, although a deal could be made to avoid them. When asked about Canada, what he would do to change the tariffs, Trump said he would like to see Canada become the 51st US state. So.
Charlamagne Tha God
Oh, what? What else we got, man? Su Bowl Sunday. I'm not about to exhaust myself with this foolishness.
Jess Hilarious
Okay, well, I will tell you, since you are based in New York, New York Mayor Eric Adams, he said his team is reviewing on how the tariffs will impact New Yorkers. He said that he's going to approach it and basically work with the administration. We've heard this before. And he reiterated that the borders do need to be safe. Of course, this is a warning call. You guys have. Things have been pushed back for about a month. So keep in mind that if these tariffs are in place, things like maple syrup, beer, whiskey, lobster, eggs, beef, pork, salmon, wheat, cheese, tequila, like you said earlier, avocado, peppers, beans, mangoes, limes, things like that will be impacted. So you might want to just go ahead and head out to the store and stock up on those things. Possib. Also, domestic and foreign auto industry will stand to be impacted, along with gas, energy, steel. So, yeah, we'll keep you guys posted as to what's going on with the tariffs. And in the next hour, we'll talk about the sovereign wealth fund.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yay.
DJ Envy
Now, you mentioned the mayor of New York back working. I know he was sick at one time and he was taking a couple of days off, but he's back working.
Jess Hilarious
Yes, he is. He is back in the fold.
DJ Envy
Okay. All right. Well, that is front page news. Now get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, phone lines are wide open. Again, 800-585-1051 is the breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club.
Charlamagne Tha God

Caller
What's up? What's up?
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, you know, I saw this advertisement on Instagram the other day about these sneakers that give. They're for men that gives you three inches of height. They like lifts. And it had me thinking, oh, at first I was like, that's a pretty good idea. But then I thought, isn't that lying? Kind of like women with those. That is so lame. Why would you want to do that? That's so corny. Why? Why can't we just be happy with what God gave us?
Caller
Because what if he's like 411 and he's sick and he's sick of it.
Charlamagne Tha God
He's still 411 even in them sneakers. And you're gonna look extra dumb when you come out them sneakers in front of you. Whatever girl you're trying to impress, she'll be like, what happened to you? That's what I was getting to Charlie. Like, isn't that lying? Kind of like with women with the weave and the push up balls and all that stuff? Yes.
Caller
Excuse me.
DJ Envy
Yeah, a lot of people use those sneakers and they say those sneakers actually work and you can't tell, like they look natural. And they even got something else where they put a heel in the. You look a little tall as well.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, they look natural till you take them off. Imagine you meet the girl of your dreams. Talking about you. I met this dude, he five. He about five nine, five ten, right? Until you take them sneakers off. And then she like, what the hell.
Caller
He a clown though? Because he literally just was like out wigs and push up bras. That is totally different. What are you talking about?
DJ Envy

Charlamagne Tha God

Caller
It's not sitting up like they're on the floor. But to take off your shoes like 5 5. And I thought she was 5 8. Is disrespectful.
Charlamagne Tha God
That is.
DJ Envy
Or the same thing. You got beautiful hair. You think her hair is so beautiful and she put the wig on the side. The same thing.
Charlamagne Tha God
I don't mind a wig. That's what I thought.
DJ Envy
That's what I thought.
Charlamagne Tha God
Same thing. A wig is different. Cause a wig, it's not like she trying to pretend that her hair is actually her hair with a wig, you know, it's a wig.
Caller

Charlamagne Tha God
Everybody came in the barbershop. Like, man, you seen that clip with Jeff? She was laying in the bed and the boyfriend woke up. Everybody was like, yeah.

DJ Envy
Good morning.
Charlamagne Tha God
I'm doing all right. How are you guys? Good morning. Good morning.
DJ Envy
Good. What's up, man? Get it off your chest.
Charlamagne Tha God
Just a question or kind of a weird Thing. I've had a pretty tumultuous relationship with my mom throughout the years. I'm 33 now, living on my own, pain my way through nursing school and got a full time job and had to recently pretty much block her and cut her out of my life again. Like the fifth time because she said.
Jess Hilarious
That I needed help because I was.
Charlamagne Tha God
Upset that I didn't get invited to my niece's birthday party. And I was just like, yo, you could have texted me, whatever.
Jess Hilarious
But this has been going on forever.
Charlamagne Tha God
So she sends me this long ass text saying how I need mental help.
Jess Hilarious
And all this stuff.
Charlamagne Tha God
I'm like, dude, I've been going to therapy for like, like six, seven years because of you. How am I going to need help? You said, how are you going to need help?
DJ Envy
How am I the one that needs help?
Charlamagne Tha God
Oh, oh, so she's the one that's been traumatizing you and now she's telling you that you need help, you need help? Yeah, she's taking. She's always taking her trauma out on everybody around her. So I'm just like, do I continue with ignoring her and not talking to her or do I be the bigger person? I know a lot of people, a lot of people will tell you, that's your mom. You should rectify it, you should fix it. But I think that your TER therapist will tell you that there's nothing wrong with boundaries. And I'm a person that believes when you pray to God to take negativity out your life, he not swinging at spirits, he's swinging at people and things, that's the embodiment of that negativity. And sometimes they appear in the form of your mother and your father and other family members. So, you know.
DJ Envy
Yeah. Well, why didn't they want you there? Why didn't they want you at the party? Was there a reason?
Charlamagne Tha God
No. My sister said she texted me, but.
Jess Hilarious
I was like, no, I never got a text.
Charlamagne Tha God
I came out last summer actually, and my whole family's been kind of treating me like. Like crap.
DJ Envy
Oh, okay.
Charlamagne Tha God
I still want to hit both sides because they might tell us some things about you that I'll be like, okay, I can understand why you didn't invite him, but.
DJ Envy
Well, it seems like he came out the closet and his family's a shame.
Charlamagne Tha God
Oh, you came out the closet? I didn't hear that.
Caller
Yeah, yeah, he said he came out.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Caller
No more in 2025. It's just out here. I'm just out.
DJ Envy
I didn't know the term.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, well, Listen, you got to protect your peace, brother. You know what I'm saying? I can't believe they don't love you just because you're gay. Are they Trump supporters in my family? So it's crazy. It's crazy that I can get the, I, I get this treatment.
Caller
Oh, you're the first gay in the family.
Charlamagne Tha God
The first guy. Like my cousin is a, is a female and she's got a whole wife and a child with her. How do they treat her? Like gold. Like gold.

Charlamagne Tha God

DJ Envy
5, 1. Now we got just with the mess coming up. What we talking about?
Caller
Yes, people have been coming for Beyonce since she won for the best country album. But you know how father is not trying here.
Charlamagne Tha God
It.
Caller
You know he gonna come to our defense every time.
DJ Envy
All right, well, we'll get to that.
Charlamagne Tha God
Next.
DJ Envy
It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlamagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to just with the mess. Don't do no lines.
Charlamagne Tha God
Worldwide, just worldwide. Message on the Breakfast Club. She's a culture sh. She was able to get y'all to.
Caller
See something and understand something that nobody.
Charlamagne Tha God
Could get you to see. It's time to set it off.
Caller
These white people have been in Beyonce ass, ain't they?
Morgan
Yeah, they upset. Well, not everybody. I would say it's not everybody. But there has been a conversation since the Grammys that kind of Grammy hangover.
Caller
About even trying it, though.
Morgan
Yeah.
Caller
And she won.
Morgan
Yes. About Beyonce winning album of the year for country for Cowboy Carter because of her being in the country music lane. So Matthew Knowles actually had to speak out against this. And basically what he told TMZ is like, y'all keep playing with her. Like Beyonce's Cowboy Carter broke records. She worked really, really hard. Y'all cannot just put this on. The fact that Jay Z called out the Grammys last year or anything else, because she actually worked hard. Worked hard and she deserved this. And if you guys remember, last year when Jay Z, he called out the Grammys, he said every single year, the albums that are nominated with her break records, they do all this stuff. Y'all bring her here, y'all nominate her, but y'all never award her. How does that make sense? Let's take a listen.
Charlamagne Tha God
Obviously it's subjective because, you know, it's music and it's opinion based. But you Know, some things, you know, I don't want to embarrass this young lady, but she has more Grammys than everyone and never won album of the year. So even by your own metrics, that doesn't work. Think about that. The most Grammys never won album of the Year.
DJ Envy
That doesn't work.
Charlamagne Tha God
I mean, he's right. I mean, if you've been nominated over 90 times and you got the most Grammys of any artist ever, but you never won album of the Year, that's kind of strange.
Morgan
Yeah, very. And I think also too, like, it's not even just the album of the year conversation. It's also the, you know, she won country duo, country group performance with Miley Cyrus, and then the win for country album of the year as well. Like, that's. That got people in a tizzy. Lainey Wilson, post Malone. There were a lot of people in that country album category. And now what's happening is like, I went to Lainey Wilson's Instagram today. She is a country music artist. She was a part of the Quincy Jones tribute, too. And people are literally in her comments, like, you know, you deserve to win this. Like, they're. They're really upset about it.
Charlamagne Tha God
I can't say that she didn't. I didn't hear her album.
Morgan
I can't say that she didn't. But I also feel like Lainey Wilson stood up. She applauded Beyonce. I also, I thought the impact of Beyonce's album, I don't know.
Charlamagne Tha God
But you ain't never heard Lainey's album.
Morgan
I haven't heard Lainey's album, but you.
Charlamagne Tha God
Got seven number one ratings.
Morgan
I do feel like the people. The way that people had a conversation about Beyonce, if she shouldn't be included at all. Like, Sylvester Stallone's brother came out and said she's not a country music artist. Like, there are literally people saying, not just because the album doesn't match Lainey's body at work, but just because Beyonce, she's out of her lane, she shouldn't be considered.
Charlamagne Tha God
I do wonder if that country club pun intended would be mad at Beyonce. If she had played the political game of Nashville. Like, if she had moved down there and did interviews with people like Bobby Bones and worked with artists down there and did all of the things new country artists do to break into the scene. I wonder if they would be mad if she had actually played the game.
DJ Envy
I'm sure they would still be mad. Mad.
Morgan
I think. I think they still would be mad. But I do feel like that's what they were trying to get at when she wasn't nominated for Country Music Awards. Remember, they were saying, like, oh, you haven't been here long enough. And that's their issue right now. But to me, I just feel like it's all white noise. No pun intended.
Charlamagne Tha God
I wonder if Boozy gets smoked like that.
Morgan
I think he.
Charlamagne Tha God
No, that's because he played the Nashville game. But maybe he does get smoked. I really don't know. I'm just. That's what. I'm just asking.
Morgan
Go ahead.
DJ Envy
The crazy thing I was going to say is, you know, she won so many Grammys, but she didn't win one Country Music Award. It's just weird how they. It's two different award shows, and you can win none at one and then a bunch at another.
Charlamagne Tha God
I don't think she got nominated at the cmaz.
Morgan
They know that was a big part of the conversation.
Caller
She didn't get nominated at the CMA's.
Morgan
No, I'm gonna verify that. But I remember it being like, people were upset because they're like, wait, how does she not like Cowboy Carter did so much? Like, how did she not.
Charlamagne Tha God
What are we complaining about right now? Because she did win this.
Caller
Yeah. Basically, somebody else felt like somebody else should have won, which. That happens in every category. You know what I mean? Like, you know, like, some people felt like somebody should have won over Kendrick. Other people, you know, they're gonna do that in every category, every time. Somebo winning got you. So it's like, whatever. She was talking about. Laney. Laney Wilson's fans. But Killer Mike, what happened with him? He's doing.
Morgan
Yeah. Yes. So Killer Mike is suing. Y'all remember last year, Killer Mike went to the Grammys, and the story came out that he was arrested and he was detained, and it was like the backup.
Caller
I mean, he won first. Let's just.
Morgan
Yeah, he won, but it overshadowed the win. He did win last year.
Caller
You can't mention what I was saying, that he definitely won that swept the.
Charlamagne Tha God
Grammys last year like Kendrick did this year.
Morgan
Yes. So he's suing about that, though. So he's suing because last year, the rest of the Grammys, and he's. He's basically blaming private security that was hired to work the event. So in a new lawsuit, he's saying that he was stopped by security on his way to the red carpet for photos and media interviews despite, you know, winning a bunch of awards, but despite sweeping and having all the necessary credentials to get to where he needed to go. He was still stopped. He says that two companies the Grammys hired to do the security at the 2024 show, one is called SNS Labor Force Inc. And another one is called JRM Private Security Gave their employees way too much power, according to him, which led to them being unlawful, which led to him being unlawfully placed under citizens arrest. And I remember when he was up here on the show, he talked about the citizens arrest. Let's take a listen.
Charlamagne Tha God
But I was told the police. The people who detained. You weren't even police. No, it was. I. I was. I don't. This is. It's a citizen's arrest and it's a misdemeanor. Then they talk about charging the black police. That. That is just a citizens of ra. I didn't know they could do that for.
DJ Envy
They probably didn't know.
Caller
They probably didn't know.
Charlamagne Tha God
Even gave me the perk, walking me through everybody like, mike, what's up? I'm a free mic. I'm like, no, shut up. We good. It's going to be okay. So it really showed me how much love I had. I agree with Michael Render. It's been a whole year and we still don't even know what Michael Render was detained for. So that man was caused emotional and mental disturbance distress on the biggest night of his career. He deserves all the money.
Morgan
Yep. And he says that the killer. Mike is alleging that the security physically assaulted him, battered him by putting her hands on him and restraining him in a full view of onlookers. And he says that they called him emotional distress and public humiliation.
Charlamagne Tha God
I saw the whole thing. I agree.
DJ Envy
He wasn't there.
Charlamagne Tha God
Boy.
Morgan
Shut up.
Charlamagne Tha God
I could be an eyewitness. I saw videos. Okay.
Morgan
I do at. The timing of this filing is great because. Because people are having Grammy. Grammy conversations. So more power to him. And I hope he get what he deserves because this was embarrassing and it should have never happened.
Charlamagne Tha God
Emotional and mental distress and physical pain. His cuffs was too tight.
Morgan
They use. Wait, the citizens arrest. They use real cuffs. They don't use like the.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yes. He was in handcuffs.
DJ Envy
It was a handcuff.
Charlamagne Tha God
They walked him all through the body scene. That's right. A mental emotion and a mental. What is it?
Caller
Emotional and mental distress. And his son had went through something that same night.
Morgan
So he.
Caller
There's, like a lot going on in Mike's world.
Charlamagne Tha God
Y'all.
Morgan
You better go ahead and run it down for the case because. Right.
Charlamagne Tha God
They denied him food for hours.
DJ Envy
Huh?
Charlamagne Tha God
You don't understand everything my client went through.
Caller
I understand. And he on the big side, so.
Charlamagne Tha God
You know, you hold the food from him. Crazy.
Morgan
Those companies, those private security companies haven't released a statement, although TMZ did reach out to them.
Charlamagne Tha God
And I'll tell you something else. It, you know, it cost him a lot of money because Jay Z was supposed to bring Mike out when Jay Z was giving his speech. So that would have elevated Mike's profile even more. So they cost him even a lot of money. We need damages, emotional, professional harm. You see what I'm saying? Come on now.
Caller
I know that's.
Charlamagne Tha God
Come on now.
Caller
Thank you, Lauren.
DJ Envy
All right, well, that is Jess with the mess. Thank you, Jess. Now, when we come back, we got front page news. Morgan will be joining us, so don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Wake up, wake up.
Charlamagne Tha God
You're locked into the Breakfast Club.
DJ Envy
Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Morning, Morgan.
Jess Hilarious
Good morning, DJ Envy. Charlamagne, the God.
Charlamagne Tha God
And Jess.
Jess Hilarious
Hilarious. Good to see y'all.
Caller
Good morning.
Jess Hilarious
Right, let's get into it. So President Trump, he's creating an American sovereign wealth fund. So I wasn't quite sure about what all this meant, but it's defined as a state owned investment fund that invests in real and financial assets such as stocks, bonds, real estate, precious metals, and in alternative investments such as private private equity funds or hedge funds. But it would be for America, like a big bank account for America.
DJ Envy
Right.
Jess Hilarious
So speaking at the White House, while signing executive orders yesterday, Trump suggested it could help with the purch of TikTok. Let's hear more from President Trump on starting an American sovereign wealth fund.
Charlamagne Tha God
So other countries have sovereign wealth funds and they're much smaller countries and they're not the United States. We have tremendous potential in this country. Tremendous. You're seeing that what's happened just in a short period of time. As an example, TikTok. We're going to be doing something perhaps with TikTok and perhaps not. If we make the right deal, we'll do it. Otherwise we won't. But I have the right to do that. And we might put that in the sovereign wealth fund. Whatever we make or if we do a partnership with very wealthy people, I think in a short period of time we'd have one of the biggest funds. And you know, some of some of them are pretty large. I must tell you. Some of the, like the Saudi Arabia fund is, is on the large side, but eventually we'll catch it but we're going to create a lot of wealth for the fund. And who gives access to the fund? Like, who's this wealth being created for?
Jess Hilarious
That's, that's right. That's the question. It would be created for supposedly the American people. So the President said the fund will also be used to invest in things like airports, medical research, and highways. I know for other foreign nations, their sovereign wealth funds have been able to help cut taxes in emergency times, like, for example, the COVID 19 pandemic, stuff like that. So the, the sovereign wealth fund is the. Will be the first to ever be established in the history of the US if this is something that we shouldn't.
Charlamagne Tha God
Have to pay taxes no more, then there should be no more federal taxes. If they got a sovereign wealth fund.
DJ Envy
Well, they'll lower the taxes. But this is actually great if they do it the right way. Right? Because, I mean, at one time they said Abu Dhabi. And I don't know if this is true or not. They don't own it anymore, but they actually, I believe, own the Chicago parking meters. So anytime you pay the parking meter, they actually purchase that. And I know even China owns a bunch of different things in the US as well. So if we created a fund and started buying things in other nations, I think that'd be amazing. Like you said, we just have to figure out where that money's going. But I think that's great.
Charlamagne Tha God
Now, I'm not gonna say it's amazing because I'm not completely sure what a sovereign wealth fund is, but I would. I don't know if it is what.
DJ Envy
They say it is.
Jess Hilarious
That is what it is defined as is basically what I said earlier. But again, how President Trump defines things, you know, he liked to put a little sauce on it. So meanwhile, there are reports that the Trump administration is setting a quota for ICE agents, asking for 1800 arrests per day. Democrats that the pressure will lead to citizens or people with green cards being swept up in the immigration rates. Now, San Antonio's Congressman Joaquin Castro, he feeds years that rush to deport illegal immigrants will lead to mistakes like the arrest of green card holders or lawful residents. Let's hear more from Joaquin Castro.
DJ Envy
In New Jersey, for example, there was a US citizen veteran who was detained and had his military credentials questioned.
Charlamagne Tha God
When you do things like put quotas on people, it means that you're going.
DJ Envy
To be targeting people who aren't criminals.
Charlamagne Tha God
People who have been here 20 or.
DJ Envy
30 years, who've been paying their taxes, who've been abiding by the law. And all of a sudden, you're gonna rip them out.
Jess Hilarious
So Joaquin Castro, who is San Antonio's congressman, he points to an operation from the 1950s which was run under President Eisenhower. So apparently there were between 1 and 2 million US citizens and lawful permanent residents who were deported to Mexico by mistake. Can you imagine that?
Charlamagne Tha God
I don't understand the point of taking in people that have a green card. Because when you have a green card, it means that you can live and work in the US and you're in the process of becoming a naturalized US Citizen. So why would you. You deport somebody who's in the process of becoming a US Citizen? Isn't that what we want? Don't we want people to actually go through the process and become legal citizens? So why would you, you know, snatch up somebody if they actually have a green card? That don't make any sense.
Jess Hilarious
They're saying that people are being profiled, and regardless, you know, whether they. And before you can even figure out what their status is, they're already being profiled and detained or looped into a raid or something like that.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, like envy. Envy. Look, Dominican. So he like, I got you.
Jess Hilarious
Envious. Dominican speaking. I got you. Yeah, I get you my Western.
DJ Envy
I'm actually black. I don't have a problem with that. But, yeah, like you said, they were supposed to be going, quote, unquote, after criminals and people that had priors and warrants and that's been arrested and drug dealers. That's what they said they were going.
Charlamagne Tha God
They just said. They said, if you're here illegally. That's what they said. That's actually what they said. If you're here illegally.
Jess Hilarious
If you're here illegally, that's. That's a crime. You're committing a crime. And, yeah, you're subject to. But, you know, if you have a green card, that's not illegal.
Charlamagne Tha God
So don't get scared now. Don't get scared. You just make sure you have all your paperwork on you, okay?
DJ Envy
I was born here, sir. I was born Brookdale Hospital, sir.
Jess Hilarious
And February is not only Black History Month, but it's also Heart Health Month. Heart Health Month. Healthy Heart Month. Heart disease remains the leading cause of death in the U.S. that's according to data from the American Heart Association's 2025 Heart Disease and Stroke Statistics Update. The annual update, published in the association's flagship journal, notes that while medical advances have helped keep people living longer, many risk factors like blood pressure and obesity continue to grow at high rates. Now data shows cardiovascular diseases claim more lives in the US Than cancer and accidental deaths combined, which are the second and third leading causes of death, respectively, nationwide. And of course, black people are impacted disproportionately, with black women leading the trend now. The American Heart association recently posted on Instagram that Kendrick Lamar's Not Like Us has 101 beats per minute, which is the right tempo for hands only cpr, adding that if you see an adult or teen collapse, call 911 immediately. Start chest compressions, press hard and in the center of the chest to the rhythm of Not Like Us. We all know the song. So it you know you can do those chest compressions until help arrives. So I thought that was a really cool tip from the American Heart association that not like Us. If you sing it in your head and you were find yourself in an emergency situation, just compressions. Compressions to the beat of not.
DJ Envy
That's too fast. That's too fast.
Charlamagne Tha God
That's too fast.
Caller
You going to kill him.
Charlamagne Tha God
You going kill somebody.
Jess Hilarious
Interesting. Yeah, so. All right, y'all. That's your front page news. Y'all stay safe.
Caller

DJ Envy
You're going to kill him.
Charlamagne Tha God
You're going to kill a search.

Charlamagne Tha God
Somebody doing that you like? Man, hip hop has taken it too far. Come on.

That white man is going to jail. If you had to do that to a gay person, you going to jail for eight times.
Caller
Especially if it's recorded. Oh, no.
Charlamagne Tha God
You beating on their chest.
DJ Envy
Could you imagine if they offbeat if they don't have rhythm?
Charlamagne Tha God
Oh, my God.
DJ Envy
But on a serious note, Definitely check out Dr. Puma and Soarin Medical. Charlemagne and myself talk about it all a time. It's all about heart wealth. They have this scan where they actually scan your heart and can tell you if there's anything wrong with your health.
Charlamagne Tha God
The Soaring Hearts scan, they take all.
DJ Envy
Types of medical insurance, and even if you don't have insurance, they find a way to make sure that you are covered. So if you can check out Soaring Medical, I know one time Charlemagne and myself were giving away free actual passes to go there and get your heart scan.

Thank you.
DJ Envy
Let's open up the phone lines. 800-585-1051. Now, we've been talking all morning long about some of the things that Trump has been trying to put in the law, his recent infractions.
Charlamagne Tha God
We've been talking the last couple of.
DJ Envy
Weeks, you know, the last ten days. Right, yeah.
Charlamagne Tha God
About a lot of the policies that he's implemented, a lot of the executive orders. And, you know, we, we haven't opened up the phone lines in a while. I mean, people will be calling in to tell us. But it's like, really, how have these policies and these executive orders impacted you? You know, everything from the, you know, federal hiring freeze that he threatened back, I think that was like last week. To the dismantling of the DEI programs, the mass deportations. These things are impacting people immediately.
Caller
Absolutely. It definitely impacts my mother directly. It affects her business. She's been working in May, it'll be 30 years. She's been working in child care administration. She gets like, her grant money. I mean, like scholarship vouchers. She has no private paying parents. It all comes through like vouchers and stuff.
Charlamagne Tha God
Everything is a federal government program.
Caller
Yes, everything. So that she's been in business 30 years. And to, to be scared like that is just like, that's insane.
Charlamagne Tha God
Did you ask her if the federal hiring free would affect her?
Caller
It's definitely gonna affect her. It's about to start hitting her parents. That's how she get paid. Her, the parents of her children.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah. Three that I really see impacting people every day is the potential of the federal hiring free, the dismantling of DEI programs and the mass deportations, like I've seen that actually hit people on, on a ground level immediately. So I really want to talk to those folks this morning.
DJ Envy
But let's discuss. 800-585-1051 is the breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club.
Charlamagne Tha God
It's topic time. Call 800-5851 to join into the discussion with the Breakfast Club.
DJ Envy
Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Now, if you're just joining us, we're talking about the list of Trump executive orders that affected people from DEI to birthright citizenship to ICE coming and taking people.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah. The mass deportations, the dismantling of dei, you know, the potential federal hiring Freeze. I mean, tariffs, you know, and so, you know, we just opening up the phone lines to see how things have impacted people. You know, Jess is already concerned about the price of wigs potentially.
Caller
Excuse me. No, I'm not. No, I'm not.
Charlamagne Tha God
Okay.
Caller
It affects my mother and other people who have been in childcare administration. My mom has been taking care of kids, and she has a childhood preschool and has had one for 30 years coming up. And a lot of her money comes from, you know, federal government. Federal government. You know, like the full program. She get checks to feed the kids, you know, and then all of her parents, they are using vouchers or scholarship of some sort. You know what I mean?
Charlamagne Tha God
So a potential federal hiring freeze could shut her.
Caller
Absolutely. Absolutely. And it will. People are already starting to be affected by it, you know, so.
Charlamagne Tha God
And you see the dismantling of DEI programs, you see people losing jobs. You know, when you got these mass deportations, like, I know people who. Who, you know, jobs have got ran up in, you know, I mean, are their parents jobs have gotten ran up in? You know, I know family members. I know families who literally have had to leave because, you know, one person in the household was. Was undocumented, and now they gotta go, and the kids gotta go. It's like, it's real out here.
Caller
Yeah.
DJ Envy
Yeah. You know, growing up in New York, of course you're surrounded by immigrants, right? You're surrounded by people that are one.
Charlamagne Tha God
This guy crazy. He said you're surrounded by him. Like, he not wanting the person surrounding.
DJ Envy
I'm not. I actually was born here. My parents were, too. But you're surrounded by immigrants that, you know, their kids were born here, but their parents not. And now many of my friends and the people that I know, they're fearful that their parents could be, you know, taken back and parents could be, you know, taken by ICE because there's no rules. There's no regulations. They just know that ICE is on the street grabbing immigrants. So people are nervous. People are scared.
Charlamagne Tha God
Are you an anchor baby?
DJ Envy
My parents were born here, sir. My grandparents were born here. And I was born here, sir.
Charlamagne Tha God
Prove it. Let me see your birthday.
Caller
I'm saying that when ICE come and snatch you up, that's gonna be crazy. I'm scared to take my daughter outside. To this day, I'm like, Jesus.
Charlamagne Tha God
Damn. Yes.
Caller
For real. They might think I'm harboring one of them.
Charlamagne Tha God
Chris. Is Dr. Chris legal, though, right? Yeah, he is.
Caller
But Molly, she didn't say that. Confident look like she. Nah, See, she more in question. Than her father. And people be like, oh, we get.
DJ Envy
That baby first from.
Caller
And if I just got it by myself, I look like a nanny. Not. I don't know. It's crazy.
Charlamagne Tha God
Well, for the people who don't know, your baby daddy is Mexican.
Morgan
Yes, yes.
DJ Envy
Half Mexican.
Caller
Yes, half Mexican. His mom, straight, straight up Mexican is full of black.
DJ Envy
So.
Caller
And my daughter, she looks straight Mexican, like, oh, my God.
Charlamagne Tha God
I think you should stop saying it. You might get a knock put part. Hello, stupid. Let's go to a knock. We might get a knock crazy.
Caller
I'm scared.
DJ Envy
Hello, who's this?
Charlamagne Tha God
This is Dr. Allen.
DJ Envy
Hey, Dr. Allen, where are you calling from?
Charlamagne Tha God
I'm from 75, but I'm in Indianapolis now. Okay. How have Trump's executive orders impacted you thus far? Absolutely. So I am a director for diversity and culture and inclusion for Engineering Research Center. So through the National Science foundation, they pretty much stopped all of me, my ability to spend money. I built programs, like easy programs for high school students. They told me I could not take no more students to Washington, D.C. for. And we had an upcoming conference for them to present their research. I have about $300,000 in funding that I can no longer touch because I work in dei. They told me literally I couldn't spend no money because my proposal said I was working with marginalized students. And that is discrimination by another name when you're saying that I can't work with students because they're from marginalized backgrounds. But if it was a white student, I could go ahead and continue with my work. This discrimination by another name. And so I have about, I have another, about $5 million in additional funding that I have that I have sent.
DJ Envy
In there for review that I can't.
Charlamagne Tha God
That they probably just want to throw out now. And these are, this is money that's going to our students, our low income students, underrepresented students, to make sure that.
DJ Envy
We, we get skills and help our.
Charlamagne Tha God
Students continue to grow, go to college, get scholarships, and we can no longer touch that money. They are literally trying to prevent us from growing our communities and be able to do the things that we need to do, all because they don't want us to be as successful as we could be. And it is very sickening. How do we combat that? How do we combat it? How do we combat it?
DJ Envy
How can we?
Charlamagne Tha God
Well, a few things that we have to do is we have to put pressure on our elected officials. Officials. The Democrats have to be able to stop, get off their fingers and actually do something. This should not be a process for them to be able to discriminate by another man. There should be some type of lawsuit that let me say, hey, you all have not, does not have not developed any criteria for what is considered dei. You all are just looking for anything that says black or brown, underrepresented, marginalized, low income, and that is discriminated. There needs to be some folks that are doing something in the legal reason. They need to be folks that are.
DJ Envy
Doing something in the political arena.
Charlamagne Tha God
And we also need to start thinking about how do we make sure that we're not hamstrung the next time one of these oligarchs or somebody comes in and wants to take over power like this. We need to be able to make sure that we're self sufficient, sustainable and figure out ways in which we can do that. I totally agree, man. You know, the hell part about it is there are, you know, guardrails and tools that Democrats can use. But you know, we just keep getting all these statements about norms and faith and institutions. Bro, them institutions are done, okay? These people are playing by a different set of rules. They need to figure it out.

DJ Envy

Morgan
So a lot of people are freaking out about that. I also know a lot of people that have gotten final job offers, but if they have a start date after the 8th of February, they've had to rescind that job offer. So a lot of people have made.
Caller
Plans based on these job offers and.
Charlamagne Tha God
They'Re not able to accept them. And they don't know when they are.
Morgan
Going to be able to even if that job will still be available when this hiring freezes up. So it's a little stressful out here.
Jess Hilarious

Morgan
A lot of schedules have changed.
Jess Hilarious
I mean, a lot of agencies don't.
Charlamagne Tha God

It's affected me because like I have a child care assistant subsidy assistance application and right now that's pending, that possibly may not be approved because I have.
Morgan
A toddler and I'm a full time.
Charlamagne Tha God
Working mom and I need child care assistance is a possibly I won't get.
DJ Envy
So sorry.
Charlamagne Tha God
See, I see. I'm glad we're having this conversation, man, because you know, you see all of these things on these, on the news and you know, you see Trump doing all these executive orders. Like this stuff is impacting average, everyday, regular working class folks. Like we're all being impacted by this in some way, shape or form or we know somebody who is.
DJ Envy
Let's go. There's a lot of people on the line. 800-585-1051. Hello, who's this?
Charlamagne Tha God
This is Rob coming out of Somerville, South Carolina. 843. What's up, Somerville?
DJ Envy
Phil, good morning, Rob.
Charlamagne Tha God
How Trump executive orders impacting you in South Carolina right now? Man, oh man, I live in a pretty upcoming neighborhood of, you know, being built up and driving quiet. Yeah. And driving through the neighborhood is quiet.
DJ Envy
The workers aren't really there.
Charlamagne Tha God
And I'm just imagining what the conversations with all these builders are about getting houses out to people because they're not being built and they're not paying for American labor. So I'm wondering, like, what's the conversation? How's that going to be affecting the market with people? It's already expensive not to buy house. Damn. So you say it's quiet. They didn't deported everybody. Huh? Ain't no construction or nothing, no nails.
DJ Envy
Banging on the roof, Nothing.
Charlamagne Tha God
Just quiet. You drove by the Home Depot, they're not hanging out up front no more.
Caller
We just going to be sitting here.
Charlamagne Tha God
Real question, that's what I'm wondering.
DJ Envy
Thank you, brother. Let's go to another caller. Hello, who's this? Hello, Good morning.
Charlamagne Tha God
They deported him just that fast. Now, his name was. Hello?
Caller
They're driving with him right now.
DJ Envy
Hello, who's this?
Morgan
Hi, good morning, this is Erica calling from Fort Lauderdale.
DJ Envy
Good morning, Erica.
Charlamagne Tha God
How are you?
DJ Envy
We're talking about Trump's executive orders. How has it affected you at all?
Charlamagne Tha God
I mean, honestly, you guys, let's be.
DJ Envy
Real numbers, don't America voted for Trump.
Charlamagne Tha God
I don't understand now why did everybody go up about what's going on when.
DJ Envy
They were multiple times over and over.
Morgan
The Biden administration let us know about 2020.
Charlamagne Tha God
Nobody didn't care.
Morgan
I don't know why is everybody uproar.
Charlamagne Tha God
Now, ma'am, ma'am, ma'am, you're absolutely right. But what that got to do with his executive orders impacting people?
Jess Hilarious
It was accepted.
Morgan
It was forthcoming.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yes.
Caller
There's nothing you can do about it. If you voted to him and I office.
Charlamagne Tha God
But have, but have they impacted you? That's the question.
DJ Envy
Yo, at this point, Charlie, I'm gonna.
Charlamagne Tha God
Be honest with you. I'm gonna be honest with you. Right now.
DJ Envy
It's praying.
Charlamagne Tha God
Don't do it.
Jess Hilarious
Psalm 91, Psalm 23, Psalm 121.
DJ Envy
And everything that's going on right now. All right, thank you, Mama. What is she saying to yourselves? That's what she said. Yeah, y'all voted for him. And she didn't answer the question. She basically just said that y'all did it.
Charlamagne Tha God
What was she quoting? Purposes?
DJ Envy
Yes.
Caller
She on highway somewhere too. I understand. I'm like, oh, Lord.
Charlamagne Tha God
And I understand what she's saying, but that's not the question we're asking. The question we're asking is how has his executive orders impacted people? Because you know what I would like to start hearing is solutions. You know, like, I would like to start hearing, you know, how we can combat some of these things.
DJ Envy
Yeah, but how can we. Right? Because he's the president. He put these orders into play. This is his house right now. Right.
Caller
But he's doing things.
DJ Envy
So how do we, how do we stop that? How do we defend that? How do we combat that?
Caller
How is there any way, like something can happen locally? Like, because even with my mom saying, you know, she. With my mom being affected, you know, and then the caller who just called up and said, like, they're gonna cut her child care benefit, she's a full time working mom, like, is there something we can do? Like the mayors, the governors, like, you know, I know he signed these orders, but there's no way, like, can we tackle it locally.
Charlamagne Tha God
There's tools and guards, rails that these people have at their disposable disposal to try to slow down some of this stuff. But, you know, they got to have the strength to use them. You know, the Democrats are a party of cowards. They're leaderless. Right. Right now. You know what I mean? But they are. They are guardrails in place.
DJ Envy
All right, well, we gotta.
Charlamagne Tha God
This is gonna be a never ending conversation, by the way. Y'all do know that, right? Yeah, but that's.
DJ Envy
It just feels weird because when you look at Biden and him being in office in the last four years and what he's done, and then you look at Trump being so aggressive and doing everything that he wanted to do and. And not apologizing for it and just doing it. Basically saying, I told y'all what I was gonna do. If you don't like it, middle finger. And then you look at the last four years and look at Biden was just so nice and just trying to be the nice guy. Just. It just really makes you upset, you know?
Caller
Yeah, for sure.
DJ Envy
All right, well, is there moral to the story at all?
Charlamagne Tha God
The moral to the story is this is gonna be a never ending conversation. But that's what the Breakfast Club is here for. The Breakfast Club is here to have those conversations. Conversations. Okay. And we'll bring in people way smarter than us to tell us what these guardrails are and what these tools are. What these tools are that they can use to try to slow some of this stuff down.
DJ Envy
All right, well, we got just with the mess coming up, what we talking about?
Caller
Your50 said delete all that. Delete what all that? BMF is over. Cause y'all can dump it.
Charlamagne Tha God
Jesus Christ.
Caller
Please.
DJ Envy
Okay, all right, well, we'll get to that. Next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to Jess with the mess.
Caller
Just don't do no lies.
Charlamagne Tha God
On the Breakfast Club. She's a culture shift. She was able to get y'all to.
Caller
See something and understand something that nobody.
Morgan
Could get you to see the same.
Charlamagne Tha God
Time to set it off.
Caller
So no more BMF according to 50 Cent. No, delete all that is like, it's done. Okay, well, I'm. I'm actually celebrating because he going to get. He got rid of Tariq a little too early for me, but. But BMF is the. Is the one that I felt like we could have got rid of before Tariq.
Morgan
Well, so 50 Cent posted on his Instagram and he said he posted this bmf. You know, this is like the image that they use for the show. The BMF jacket. I think this is Meeching jacket. He says season four is the final chapter. His caption said, be sure to catch the next season of bmf. It's going to be out of here now. Y'all are probably wondering why.
Caller
Yeah, of course.
Morgan
Exactly. So there's been a little, I don't know, like a tiff tip behind the scenes. I'm trying to put it all together here with a timeline. So what I think is leading to this and what most people are pointing to is the fact that Big Meech recently, as of January 22, linked up with Rick Ross. So they posted these photos. There is a photo of Big Meech and Rick Ross and they're in like a. I don't know, like a backyard or something like that. And Big Meech has on a shirt that says Rick ross Car Show June 7th.
Caller
That's wild. The Rick Ross merch, the braids, everything is just, wow, he should have definitely cut his hair. But. But okay.
Morgan
And you know, like 50 don't. He don't fool with Ross at all. Not even a little bit. Right? And they posted this photo. They are promoting this, this concert, this welcome home concert that Big Meech has happened.
Caller
And it's on my birthday. It's crazy.
Morgan
Y February 12, February 1313.
Charlamagne Tha God
The big me back concert, right?
DJ Envy
Yep.
Morgan
The Big Me welcome back concert with lil baby Rick Ross. 42 Doug. All these different people.
Caller
I see red estg it's a bunch of people on there.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yes.
Morgan
And in addition to that, they also cross promoted. Rick Ross has a car show that Big Me she's going to be like a celebrity guest judge at. So all this unfolding and people like, wait, hold on.
Caller
BMF is done.
Morgan
Yeah. So then 50 went on to start posting. So before 50 posted that BMF was season 4 was going to be the final season, he also posted something about a Tammy Cohen doc and people. It made people start wondering who Tammy Cohen is. So he posted this. It says the truth about the truth and nothing but the truth. Bmf, who was Tammy Cohen's. And the caption said, this is going to blow your mind. The dot coming soon. The facts are stranger to fiction. So people are like, wait, the fastest stranger than fiction. And then 50 posted this rat and oh my God, the rat. He captioned on the photo, I think I'm Big Meech alluding to Rick Ross's song. And in this caption, 50 Cent says the biggest mistake he ever made was not sustaining his relationship with Tammy Cohen. Her tell all doc reveals the truth. Now, I did a little digging because I was trying to understand what the relationship between Tammy Cohen and Big Meech with was.
Caller
Oh, so this is not between Tammy Cohen and Rick Ross. This is between Tammy Cohen and Big Meech.
Morgan
Rick Ross came into it because Big Meech went hung out. Yeah, we hung out. So according to you know what I saw from Google, Tammy Cohen used to be the assistant of Big Meech. And they've been friends for a very long time. She's been working with him since 2008. But there were some comments that were made by Blue da Vinci at one point where I guess he mentioned that he threw the word federal informant out around her name. So I'm assuming that they kind of fell out behind the scenes because of that. And now 50 is picking her side in the. In the back and forth with Meech and her. And I think that was happening separately. And then this Rick Ross stuff started. So now he's, you know, he puts everything out there. 100. I just don't know. I have a couple questions, like, if Big Meech posted this photo with rick Ross on January 22, why did 50 just start posting in response to this? Because I thought that this was fake. I'm like, is this promo?
Charlamagne Tha God
What are you supposed to react immediately?
Morgan
I mean, I just feel like something like that. We know Rick Ross is his biggest.
Charlamagne Tha God
Maybe they attempted a phone call. Maybe there was text messages. Maybe there was DMs. I wouldn't expect him just to go from zero to 60, really, when you do this. No, no, no.
DJ Envy
I'm sure it is, but.
Charlamagne Tha God
Exactly. He's announcing the. The ending of a show. You're not gonna just do that immediately. You want to cross your T's, dot your eyes first.
Morgan
I agree with that.
Caller
There's different contracts invest in place. You can't just stop a whole production.
Morgan
Ending of a show. Big Meech a rat. That's why I was like, this can't be a joke, because Big Meech wouldn't play with that situation or not.
Caller
This is the thing, though. All right?
Jess Hilarious
I.
Caller
Even though you can't just bring production of a big show like that to a halt, because there are certain things in place you can always recast. You know what I'm saying?
Morgan
So unless, I mean, depending on what the actor's contract.
Caller
So if he still has to, like.
Charlamagne Tha God
Well, he probably don't want to do the show anymore because it's about. It's actually about bmf. Yeah.
DJ Envy
We can't recast that show.
Caller
Yeah, but I mean, I mean, you can recap it.
Charlamagne Tha God
You can.
Caller
Petty King is petty.
Charlamagne Tha God
The story is the story.
Caller
Yeah.
Morgan
100. Yeah. So I don't know. I don't know what's happening here, y'all, but yeah, he didn't.
Charlamagne Tha God
He's alluding. He didn't call him a rat. He's alluding to the fact.
Morgan
He's alluding to the fact. 100 but I think it. The shot is pretty clear. I think I'm Big Meech on this photo. After they Big me just sitting next to Rick Ross. I think.
Charlamagne Tha God
I'm thinking a conversation happened after those pictures went up and that's what led to all of this. That's what I'm thinking.
Morgan
I hope so, cuz I. You know, when, when Meech came home and 50 posted a picture with him and was like green light gang. I was really excited to see what they were going to do together. And further telling the story down at Meech was home. But you know, is it time for.
Charlamagne Tha God
BMF to wrap it up?
Morgan
Yes.
Charlamagne Tha God
Just part of all of this.
Caller
Yeah, it was mid time. Yeah, it was, it was time when I didn't get the part like, remember? And I feel like that's why because I didn't get you.
Charlamagne Tha God
Wasn't BMF though.
Caller
I was.
Morgan
She was in the wrong. No, sorry. You got nominated for that.
Caller
Was vivica Fox Mathis One that wasn't 50.
Morgan
It was good though. But it wasn't this one.
DJ Envy
People love the series though, and people love it every week. So I'm not sure if it is the end of it where it ended, but people love it.
Caller
Yeah, some people.
Morgan
Yeah.
Caller
What else we got going on, Jess.
Morgan

Caller
What else? Oh, wait, Marcus. Marcus Jordan.

Morgan
But not the white girl. Not the Lars of Pippen. What?
Caller
Andy, he was. He always caught with the white girl. Yeah, but this time, this the way this white girl landed him in jail, huh?
Charlamagne Tha God
Why he love white women so much? He don't play basketball at all?
Morgan
I can't answer that question. I don't know. I've never asked him about why he partakes in white things, but I will. This is breaking news. Marcus Jordan. This story is breaking that he was arrested. He was booked in Orange County, Florida, jail for DUI by cocaine possession and resisting arrest.
Charlamagne Tha God
That's that real white girl.
DJ Envy
Oh, that white girl.
Morgan

Charlamagne Tha God
Wow.
Caller
He's not Michael Jordan, son.
Morgan
This is Marcus Jordan. This is Marcus Jordan. He's giving a little smirk. He doesn't look too happy to be there, but it's a little smirk on his face. Yeah, but I. I don't really know. There's been photos of him out on vacation and people were saying in those photos he was sniffing something.
Caller
Please.
Morgan
You know, I can't confirm nor deny that. What's funny, Jess?
Caller
It's just a picture.
Morgan
What, you thought he.
Caller
I'm just trying to figure out what I can say.
Charlamagne Tha God
He looked like a. He looked like a method man in a multiverse. Like a multiverse.
Caller
Method man.
Charlamagne Tha God
That ain't method man. 61 Earth616 I'm not surprised because he.
Morgan
Doesn'T give athlete in that photo at all.
Caller
At all. This looks like the guy that helps you in Walmart or something like that. Yeah, this is one of them.
Morgan
Well, tmz, who broke the story, is still trying to figure out exactly what happened. Like what led up to him even running into the law. So there'll be more. This story some.
Caller
Well, the way you act on cocaine.
Charlamagne Tha God
That's right. You really got to ask what happened when his cocaine involved him?
Caller
It was cocaine, right?
Charlamagne Tha God
Whatever. The. The cocaine is the root of whatever he was getting into.
Morgan

One Temple student in custody tonight in police looking for another as well as a third unidentified suspect. Students are shocked that fellow owls are accused of impersonating federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents on campus. 22 year old Adam Stegelman is now in custody. Police say this man has been identified but is still at large, as is a third unidentified person. Two suspects wearing black shirts with white letters reading Police and ice. A third recording them. Police were able to take Steigelman into custody nearby on 12th street in a Jaguar SUV was towed away. The two other suspects left the area in a light colored SUV. In a statement, the university said impersonating law enforcement officers is a crime. This behavior and harassment of Temple community members will not be tolerated.
Charlamagne Tha God
How you at large, Aiden? Just go ahead and tell, please. Okay, listen. We are the USA Unserious America. We all play way too much. All right? Too many people out here preying on people's fears. Why would you want to disturb the peace of these people? Like these guys ran up in Insomnia cookies, all right? These poor people just doing their job in Insomnia cookies. Making sure you get a warm delicious chocolate chunk at 2 in the morning. And you in there scaring the hell out these folks. Do you understand the matter of life and death? That deportation is okay? ICE is showing up to places and straight up just taking folks away. Disappear. Vanish. You're gone. There was an ICE raid reported at A Philadelphia car wash. And an eyewitness told Fox 29, and I quote, they just came and took everyone away. So you gotta understand, folks is on edge. And Aiden, what were you and your two friends trying to accomplish? Did you at least get a 50 pack of classics from Insomnia Cookies? Me, I would have mixed it up. Chocolate chunk, Classic one M M's oatmeal raisin, red velvet double chocolate chunk. But that's neither here nor there. Let me tell you. Digital D head something. I can see why you would think this is funny, but it's not, okay? You're playing with people's lives and you playing with your life. Because impersonating any law enforcement is not only dangerous, it's illegal. And imposters will be charged under federal law. So you college kids, y'all better stop chasing, imitating ICE agents and just stick to the regular college pranks that you used to. Okay? I remember back in the day when college kids just used to do things like toilet paper to dean's office. Now these kids is out here pretending to be deputy deporters, okay? Imagine walking up to people like, papers, please. Meanwhile, your tuition payments or do. All right, you need to focus, okay? This is why we need a cop style show about ice. I'm serious. We need a. A show that shows ICE doing their job. So people know what to expect and what not to expect from ice. I know ICE wants to surprise people, but this is going to complicate things. People playing and pretending to be ICE agents. It's going to complicate things because I wouldn't open my door for ICE because I don't know if it's really ice. How do I test this ICE to know it's real? Can I bring my diamond tester? Is there a password? A few minutes ago, a white woman just opened the door here at iHeart. And what did she say?
Caller
She said special announcement, guys.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, we got a special announcement. Everybody started scurrying. I didn't. They started scurrying like they was like. We didn't know, you know, if it's DI Initiative getting rolled back. We didn't know if it was ice. That is how on edge badge people are. And for the record, ICE agents do not have the authority to enter your your household without a warrant signed by a judge. Okay? You are allowed to request to see their badge, their identification. ICE will never ask you for money or threaten deportation or detainment if you do not paying them, pay them. Okay? So I want y'all to remember these things Just look alive, folks. Pay attention. Because you can't trust people in 2025. And for everybody out there pretending to be an ISIS agent, stop playing with people, okay? You're putting yourself in harm's way for no reason and causing people emotional distress for no reason. Please give Aiden Steigelman the biggest he haw. Stop playing, man.
Caller
That's so messy.
DJ Envy
All right, well, thank you for that donkey today, sir.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yes, indeed.
DJ Envy
Now, when we come back, 800-585-1051. This morning, when Jess walked in, she was talking about Valentine's Day. What was your question?
Caller
Question, Jess, I want my boyfriend be.
Charlamagne Tha God
Here for it because he's Mexican. I don't know.
Caller
You're a clown. No, listen, I was wondering how, you know, how people keep reinventing or not reinventing. I would say keep making Valentine's Day special if you already been married.
Morgan
Yeah.
Caller
So how do you do that? How do you make your wife feel special? How do you make your husband feel special? After so many years of being married, how can you still keep that?
DJ Envy
Okay, well, let's open up the phone lines. We'll take your calls. When we come back, 800-585-1051. Let's discuss. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Now, if you're just joining us, we're talking about Jess. Now, Jess was talking about something when she walked in this morning about Valentine's. What was your question, Jess?
Caller
Yes, I was wondering, after so many years of being married, how do you keep your spouse, like, feeling special? How is Valentine's Day? Like what? You know, how do you do Valentine's Day after starting? How's it still.
DJ Envy
Like I told you earlier, we don't really do Valentine's because usually when you go to restaurants, if you notice when you go out, they try to get you in and out faster because it's a very popular night. So many people want to go. The food is not usually that good because they're cooking it so fast and so much. It's not the same chef. So me and the wife, usually on Valentine's, usually stay in the crib and just enjoy movies or play game night. And we usually go out the night before or the night after because it's just usually too much of a hassle to go out on Valentine's Day. We still celebrate. We just don't necessarily go out. What about you? Charlamagne?
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah. Never make it special if you never make it Special. She can never say, you don't treat me the way you used to.
Caller
That's what.
DJ Envy
What the hell are you saying?
Charlamagne Tha God
Exactly what I just said.
Caller
That is so whack.
DJ Envy
Yo, your wife's gonna text you and 10 minutes.
Caller
Do you have a filter on Envy?
DJ Envy
No, I don't. It's the sun. The sun's coming in.
Charlamagne Tha God
Oh, yeah, they coming.
Caller
But that eyebrow, honey, will not stay on your face to save your life. It is.
DJ Envy
Oh, it is a filter.
Charlamagne Tha God
Who put that? Jeff. You. Thank you, Jeff. You are a whole clown.
DJ Envy
I don't know.
Charlamagne Tha God
I don't act like it really was no filter. I thought it was all crazy. Yo, you.
DJ Envy
It says none.
Charlamagne Tha God
It says not up. You want my eyebrows so bad you wish you had full swear.
DJ Envy
I don't know how to put the eyebrows on. It says none.
Charlamagne Tha God
You need. I wonder. Your eyebrows ain't never look that thick. You got the Charlemagne eyebrow filter on.
DJ Envy
And then you.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yo, I didn't put.
DJ Envy
Put that on.
Charlamagne Tha God
You knew exactly what you had on.
Caller
Your lips is glossy, like. Yes.
Charlamagne Tha God
He's trying to. He's trying to keep it. He want to make it spicy for Valentine's Day. He want to reinvent things for Valentine's Day. Let me give my wife a whole new face and eyebrows.
DJ Envy
Can't get it off.
Caller
That is crazy. Go to the phone lines. I already caught your ass. Come on.
DJ Envy
Hello?
Caller
Who's this?
Charlamagne Tha God
Hey, this is John.
DJ Envy
Hey, what's up, brother? Good morning.
Charlamagne Tha God
Hey, good morning. So I heard your topic, and basically, for me, married, like, 21 years, and when me and my wife first got together, we were all about the Valentine's Day. But once we got married, we kind of transitioned that energy to our actual anniversary. So we. We go all out on our anniversary, and for Valentine's Day, I usually go out and buy some steaks, bring them home, cook them up, and we have, like, a meal on our own. We don't get caught up in the whole corporate side of it, but we don't ignore it either. You know, we just spend that extra.
DJ Envy
Time for our anniversary where a lot.
Charlamagne Tha God
Of people go to work, we usually take a week off, go on a.
DJ Envy
Vacation, do something crazy, you know?
Charlamagne Tha God
And nobody ever, you know, gives observance to March 14th.
DJ Envy
When's March 14th? You have to say steak and BJ day. Steak and BJ day.
Charlamagne Tha God
And you know why that day is better than Valentine's Day? Because it tells you exactly what to do? Get some steak and some bj. Valentine's Day is too complicated. Like, anybody who really want chocolate and candies and all of that.
DJ Envy
A lot of women do. A lot of women like that. They like the flowers, they like the chocolate, they like that.
Charlamagne Tha God
Shut up filter face. Boy, we don't listen to you.
DJ Envy
It's not right.
Caller
Yo, your eyebrows on your finger.
Charlamagne Tha God

DJ Envy
A fancy dinner, it's not a lack.
Charlamagne Tha God
Of romance because their love doesn't meet a high holiday to prove yourself. I agree. Because what about every day before Valentine's Day? Like if you in a relationship, you want to keep it spicy every day, you want to keep your. Your significant other intrigued every day.

Charlamagne Tha God
The Breakfast Club. Yep. It's the world's most dangerous morning show. The Breakfast Club. Charlamagne, the God, DJ Envy. Just hilarious. And it's time for just what the.
DJ Envy
Mash news is real.
Caller
Jessica Robin Moore just don't do no lies. She don't spare nobody.
Charlamagne Tha God
Worldwide. J Worldwide met on the Breakfast Club coaching shoes. She was able to get y'all to.
Caller
See something and understand something that nobody could get you to see.
Charlamagne Tha God
It's time to set it off.
Caller
All right, so what's going on in. In court with ASAP Rocky? Because Relly up there just looking like he lying. He want money. What's. What's up?
Morgan
Yeah. So asap R still on stand. It's like day six at this point. I think they're going into day seven. And I, in the beginning, I really thought that ASAP Rocky was stupid for taking that plea deal. I don't think so no more.
Caller
I think, like, you see, it is different. And envy said a couple days ago, yo, it just make you. It make you feel different every day.
Morgan
Yes.
Caller
Seeing it well after yesterday.
Morgan
So last night, ASAP, both ASAPs, the rallies, the Rockies, everybody was in court until late at, like, the rallies.
Caller
The Rockies. Yeah.
Morgan
Like, until like 8, 8:30 our time, relly was on the stand and they were asking him. So he was being cross examined by Joe Tacapina, who is ASAP Rocky's attorney. Because the end of last week, on Friday, like Thursday, Friday, they brought up these, like, voice phone recordings, right? And in the phone recordings, you hear Rally saying some things. And he alleged last week that this was not him. He didn't know where it came from. AI might as well be. AI. Right?
Charlamagne Tha God
Well, AI really?
Morgan
Well, there is. There is a. There's a stand. There's an out of order witness, like a last minute witness who came in, the guy who recorded those phone calls, and they just debunked all of that. Let's take a listen to the. The. The first Audio recording of Relly on NEW I just hopped on the computer.
Charlamagne Tha God
And I was going submit them links and, you know, which.
DJ Envy
Which links you want to do or.
Charlamagne Tha God
You want me to pick them? Yeah, it's probably the one from Roller. All those other publications. Just pick the top ones probably, right? Like tmz, Roller, Stor. And then when I give you, I'm good by your side. Yeah, for sure, for sure. I'm just trying. What do you say?
Morgan
So what y'all are listening to is so, so, so. So last week, his app's attorney was like, asking ASAP Relly, like, yo, you really did this because you were just trying to blow this up to get some money. You wanted to hype your name up off of this. That's why you care so much about the newspaper articles and, like, where it was being posted. And he was like, no, that's not true. This is a phone call with him telling this guy Wally, who used to work for asap, rally in ASAP Rocky building websites and stuff like that, that go find the most popular articles, the TMZ article, the Rolling Stone article. And those are the ones I want you to send out because I'm trying to get them circulating around this case. So that was the first like, oh.
Charlamagne Tha God
What'S wrong with that, though? That's pretty normal. That's pretty standard.
Morgan
The only issue is, is that ASAP's team is trying to basically say, you. You only hear from money, only here for money and clout. So. And he said himself, no, I didn't care about those newspaper articles. But now you're on a recorded phone call saying, go get the Rolling Stone in the TMZ article.
Charlamagne Tha God
Oh, he's trying to just, you know, manipulate the minds of potential jurors, whatever it is.
Morgan
He said one thing and now the recordings are saying another. And that don't look too good to jury. Now, the second thing that they caught him up on was a conversation around extortion and. And money. Let's take a listen to that.
Charlamagne Tha God
You know what I'm saying? You ask for a background, a lawyer, bro, it's called extortion. You feel me? You're going to do everything accordingly, everything accordingly, or it's going to catch up with you. I'm too late.
Morgan
Exactly right. But he did go get the attorney. He did everything the right way, but now you look at crazy because it's.
Caller
Like, oh, wait, hold on.
Morgan
So that's why you here. Now let's take a listen to this other clip that he also discusses. $30 million.
DJ Envy
I walk away, basically because I'm on another island relaxing.
Caller
You get what I'm saying?
Charlamagne Tha God
They're going to be scrambling to find me because now they have to go.
DJ Envy
Against Rocky, the state, and here they have evidence and stand be the same.
Charlamagne Tha God
And be prison it to a jury. And you don't have a complaining witness. Now, that one was nasty.
Morgan
That was the crazy, right? Because basically what you just listened to was him say, look, I'm gonna. I want the money, so I'm gonna file a civil lawsuit. Which he did.
Charlamagne Tha God
He don't really care about justice. He wants to get the money. He wants. He'll go away. You have to find him.
Morgan
Yes, And I think what he thought was if. And this is all, you know, in my opinion, what I think he thought was gonna happen was if I don't get on the stand, if I back out, if I whatever, some money, there's no case. Money has to be involved, though. So maybe ASAP's gonna pay whatever and 30M is going to be my number. That didn't work. He filed a civil lawsuit. So now he's on stand looking kind of like, whoa.
Charlamagne Tha God
And not even entertaining with it. Not even giving us ysl. Woody, just up there like Bland Will.
Morgan
He really did set a standard set of standard yo 100. Well, I will say the, the, like his attorneys tried to cross the Wiley guy who recorded these audios and basically say, like, yo, ain't ASAP your friend? And he's like, yeah, but I'm friends with both of them. And he also said, well, did he ever tell you he shot him? He said, I never asked him that. They're like, why wouldn't you ask them that if you're having these conversations? So that's how they tried to, like, soften it a bit, but I don't think it's softened to blow at all.
Caller
You got some more court stuff?
Morgan
I do.
Charlamagne Tha God
Can we put a moral of the story on that ASAP story?
Caller
What is it?
Charlamagne Tha God
Stay away from. That's all I got.
Caller
Yeah, you're right, you're right. Stay away.
Morgan
Well, T.I. and Tiny, they are going to be getting some money. Remember ti was up here talking about that 71 million that he got Guy, and that was the big thing. They're not technically getting the sub. Not technically. They're not getting a 71 million. They're going to actually be receiving $53 million in punitive damages from the toy maker who copied the LOL girls, the LOL Surprise G dolls. Now, what happened was about a month or so ago A judge went back in and was like, I'm not really for sure about how, how well you guys are proving the intent behind them copying the dolls. So I might change this now number. When the judge said that what was on the line was they might only get 17 million. And the judge said, but hold on, give me a second to think about this and kind of look into it more. So now it has been finalized, the verdict has come in. They're going to get the $53 million.
Charlamagne Tha God
Dropping a clues bombs for the Harris's. The first number was what, 70 something million?
Morgan
71. It was a 53 plus some other stuff.
Charlamagne Tha God
Now when I first heard that number, you know, T.I. retired. He said he wasn't gonna do no performances or anything like that. I was like, damn, that's messed up. And then when the 17 number came, I was like, okay, ti gonna still be on that stage. He'll probably get a PSC album. So I was kind of looking forward to it.
Morgan
Yeah.
Charlamagne Tha God
Now he back at what?
Morgan
Now he back at 53.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, we done seen our last TI show. All you getting is TI comedy from here on out.
Caller

Charlamagne Tha God
Yo might get the PSC album since some features probably already done.
Morgan
Yeah, cuz he still got split it with the girls too. He, when he was up here, he talked about that like he's want to make sure that they get what they need to get. But Yeah, I mean 859 now I think we can we go into the last one or no, Go ahead. Why not Biden? So speaking of getting some money, Biden just signed with the C with caa, which is a huge talent agency, creative artist agency. They also represent Barack Obama, Michelle Obama. This was announced on Monday.
Charlamagne Tha God
We don't care. We ain't buying nothing by himself.
Morgan
Yo, I could when I saw this, I'm like, I know politicians do this normally.
Caller

Morgan
So normally this means he about to do a book deal. He might do some speaking stuff, maybe a little Netflix.
Caller

Morgan

Caller
Throw it back. Oh, no, that's on a Friday.
Charlamagne Tha God
It's on a Friday. Exactly. It's all. It's the same generic, stereotypical, you know, generic stuff every 9:00. Throw it back.

Caller
And get it off your chest. That's. That's a. Oh, that's different to you if you think about it. Get it off your chest.
Charlamagne Tha God
Club.
DJ Envy
You got a.
Charlamagne Tha God
You're checking out the Breakfast Club.
DJ Envy
Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Jess. Hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. It's Black History Month. So what we doing today?
Charlamagne Tha God
That's right, my guy, B. Dot. Every day during Black History Month, he puts out a podcast called I didn't know. Maybe you didn't either, on the Black Effect iHeartradio podcast network. And today, he's going to talk to you about sayings. Yes, America was built on sayings, but some of them don't exactly hold up on depression. So in today's episode of I didn't know, maybe you didn't either. B Dot's gonna break down the catchy phrases that shaped our history with humor and hard truth. Check it out. What you need to do is pull yourself up by your bootstrap. That's like the national anthem of personal responsibility in America, ain't it? But here's the thing.
DJ Envy
It's not even practical.
Charlamagne Tha God
Like, who came up with that? You ever tried to pull yourself up by your bootstraps? Physics won't even let you.
DJ Envy
You're just standing there yanking on leather.
Charlamagne Tha God
Straps in the position that the sisters.
DJ Envy
Had Andy Dufresne in in Shawshank Redemption.
Charlamagne Tha God
If you've never seen the movie, you won't get the reference moving right along. My point is, due to gravity, it is not even possible to pull yourself up by your bootstrap straps. Another saying in America, the American dream. Oh, we sold that one.
Jess Hilarious
Hard.
Charlamagne Tha God
If you work hard and stay focused, you'll be successful right this Sound good. But they never talk about that fine print that's on the American dream that.
DJ Envy
Says, unless someone decides that they don't like your success.
Charlamagne Tha God
For example, Jack Holly. My man Jack was living out his dream. Own businesses, land, part of a bank. He was basically the Oprah of Slow car Texas. But then 1910 rolls around, and instead of being celebrated, a white mob rolls in and says, nah, you've been having too much success, Negro. And they destroy everything. One of his sons killed, his businesses gone. Generational wealth torched. And yet, somehow, the same folks who did all that are the ones still walking around today saying, why can't y'all pull yourselves up by your bootstrap? Well, listen, Karen, we tried. Y'all stole the boots, the straps, and then burnt down the shop. Another saying that we love in America. History repeats itself. Oh, America lives by this one. Because Slocum wasn't the only time this happened. Tulsa's black. Wall street, same thing. Rosewood, same thing. Look, anytime a black community got a little too successful, somebody showed up with some matches and some insecurity. Oh, and one more saying. United we stand, divided we fall. Right. Coming from a country that's since day one, that saying should also come with a disclaimer.
DJ Envy
Terms and conditions apply. Side effects include systemic racism and selective memory.
Charlamagne Tha God
So while we remember these sayings, let's not forget these slayings of families like Jack Holly and massacres like Rosewood and Tulsa. And we know America love is sayings, but maybe it's time for some new ones. How about if you see someone thriving, let them keep surviving? How about that? Oh, here's a good one. Stop burning up other people's. If you got some new sayings we should add in 2025, hit me up on my social media at B TV. That's B, D, A, H, T TV.
DJ Envy
