When a group of women discover they've all dated the same prolific con artist, they take matters into their

own hands. I vowed. I will be his last target. He is not going to get away with this. He's going to get what he deserves. We always say that trust your girlfriends. Listen to the girlfriends. Trust me, babe, on the IHart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Maybe this is a miracle. There is no question that there are problems in this country between police and community. Yes, you are a donkey. The latest on that police killing of a black man. Now to new developments in the deadly spa shooting rampage.

And yesterday it was a really bad day for him and this is what he did. And so we are in a state of emergency. Okay, white supremacist's violence is, it always has been, the number one threat to our society. But I'm also very proud that my wife is white. The breakfast club, bitch. All right, Charlie. Please tell me, why was I your donkey of the day? Well, Tommy Lauren, donkey today for Monday, May 4th, goes to American political commentator Glenn Beck.

You know who Glenn Beck is, right? I know who Glenn Beck is, right? CEO of the Blaze used to be on Fox. I believe we share the same syndicators. He's with Premier Networks as well. He's very successful. Very successful. He's had a long, prosperous career in media. In fact, I was looking up his net worth this morning because I am a notorious pocket watcher,

and his net worth is $150 to $200 million. Okay? He gets to it. And he was recently having a conversation. on his radio show, I believe, about some of my comments in regards to the shooting that happened at the White House correspondent's dinner. We know the story. Cole Thomas Allen rushed security guards and fired a shotgun, and he is now being accused of trying to assassinate President Donald J. Trump. Now, I made some comments about that situation.

My comments were simple. There is no place for political violence in our society. None. I don't condone it. But I think we do ourselves a disservice when we don't talk about how people can become radicalized. And the reality is the Trump administration has caused so much pain to people's everyday lives that some folks are fed up and willing to risk it all. Well, Glenn Beck decided to talk about those statements. And in his caption on IG of the video, he put Charlemagne

justifies. And he put justifies in all caps. Charlemagne justifies the Trump assassination attempt with a question mark, an exclamation mark. Glenn, your social media, people knew what they were doing. Okay, they were trying to paint the picture that I was justifying the Trump assassination. That's why they put justifying in caps, which you put a question market to end to protect yourselves. Okay, I get it. But Glenn asked the question in regards to what I said. Let's listen. You know who Charlamagne the God is? I want you to listen to what he said about the Trump assassination attempt this week. Listen to this. The Trump administration has caused so much pain to people's everyday lives that some folks are fed up and willing to risk it all. Simple as that.

And if you're going to talk about anybody toning down violent political rhetoric, start with the president. I'm Donald J. Trump. What the hell pain are people going? I mean, I understand economic pain. Let's start it under Biden. What pain are people going through right now that you can go, yeah, I can see why they want to kill him? That's an honest question. What pain is being applied by this administration that makes you say, I want to kill him?

That's some grade A gaslighting right there. Okay, people like Glenn Beck have been too rich, too privileged. and two in a bubble for so long that they have zero clue about the pain so many in this country are currently facing. And if you listen to what Glenn Beck said, he gets it. But he just shrugged it off. He literally says, I understand the economic pain. Let's listen to that part.

What the hell pain are people going? I mean, I understand economic pain. It started under Biden. What pain are people going through right now that you can go, yeah, I can see why they want to kill him. If you understand the economic pain, then why are you asking the question, what pain? Okay, could people possibly, people, when you, why are you asking the question, what pain? Okay, could people possibly be going through something in this country?

Yes. Once again, there is no justification for political violence, but we do ourselves a grave to service if we don't at least discuss the many reasons a person can be radicalized. Once again, there is no justification for political violence, but we do ourselves a grave the service if we don't at least discuss the many reasons a person can be radicalized. You said what pain can people possibly be going through? Well, let me speak from some of my people, okay? My good friend Gina Lisa Montaroso, she is the founder of Medicaid Advisory Group.

She left the comment and said, maybe the pain isn't loud. Maybe it's quiet and constant. It's the moment someone loses subsidized healthcare and suddenly have to choose between medication or rent. It's living with a chronic illness and realizing the coverage that kept you stated. is gone and now every doctor visit feels like a financial risk is parents who work every single day earning 725 an hour in places like Texas and mississippi but still coming home wondering how to stretch groceries for the week is children feeling hunger not because their parents

don't try but because they no longer qualify for snap while prices keep rising it's the silent math happening at kitchen tables what can we cut next what happens if someone gets sick that is the pain people are carrying right now another person person in my comment said they're literally killing protesters in the street terrorizing immigrant communities people can't afford food gas everyone working two jobs there is no accountability for anyone in the epstein files are for killing school children in an illegal war there is so much unnecessary pain in a world with enough resources for everyone to live a happy healthy life if we just shared in quote another person in my comments her name is mistress fatima says women have

lost their rights to their bodies black folks have lost political power and the price of everything has skyrocketed and he wants to know what pain people are in. Hmm. The Epstein Fathers is a big part. Okay, because if you read Cole Allen's manifesto, he says, and I am no longer willing to permit a pedophile rapist and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes. Sadly, if people don't feel like the justice system is doing anything to protect kids, they're going to take matters into their own hands.

I don't agree with vigilante justice. I don't think political violence is the answer, but we have to have honest conversations about how these people are being radicalized. Glingbeck knows this. Okay, but he's one of those people who has made a career off gas-liding folk and playing dumb. Okay, it's hard to know what people like Glenn Beck really believe and what's just performative because you acknowledge that you understand the economic pain. And if you understand the economic pain, then you know economic strife, high unemployment, poverty, income, inequality.

All of that can lead to violence. It's not right, but it's reality. Okay, economic hardships act as a stressor, raising high. hostility in contributing to higher rates of robbery, property crime, intimate partner violence, and in some cases, yes, political conflicts. Not saying it's right, but it's reality. Do you realize that according to CBS news, between 57% and 78% of American adults live paycheck to paycheck, meaning they have little to no savings left after covering basic expenses, okay, the rising

cost of living, inflation, and debt? Those are all primary factors, okay, with over 40% of control. are struggling to say it for retirement. Glenn Beck, I don't know how you can be so detached from everyday Americans that you don't understand that type of pain. Okay, I don't understand how you don't understand the pain that Trump administration has caused. You have to know in your heart that this administration in particular has acted illegally and unconstitutionally in ways that have weakened our democratic institutions, wrecked our economy,

road back protections for public health, the environment, not to mention health care and social security benefits. Okay, all of that is at risk for middle. millions of Americans. If you don't think for one second, this could lead to someone risking it all, then you're bugging. Yes, we should talk about violent political rhetoric that leads to political violence, and we should discourage that and denounce it, okay, especially when it's coming from the president of the United States of America. But we should also talk about violent political policies that are hurt in the pockets of everyday working class Americans and discourage and denounce that too. Please give Gillen Beck the biggest he haul. That's all I'm saying. And if you don't think people are in pain, open up the phone lines right now. Let's do it.

Yes. Okay? And listen, once again, I don't condone political violence. There is no place for political. violence in our society. I don't condone it on any level, but I think we do ourselves a disservice when we don't talk about how people

can become radicalized in these situations. Well, let's open up the phone arms. And the economic strife will cause you to do some strange things. 800585-105. We're talking about pain. What pain have you been dealing with recently? And he knows it. He literally said, I understand the economic pain. Because you can't just shrug that off because you're rich. I was about to say he might know it, but like

it's a different feeling when you got... You're a little bit. When you when you feel it, yeah. You're feeling it. You're going to on home and you, you know what I mean? Like, your people are really trying to figure some things out. Like, that's different. You got an eviction notice right now. And you and your family. Exactly.

Oh, you feel pains and you're scared to go to the doctor because you know you're going to get a huge bill and you can't afford it. Man, listen, the TSA agents, you know, who had to be down at the food bank. Because, like I say, people are living check to check in this country and missing one paycheck.

Literally, you got to decide between rent, food, daycare, car notes, health insurance. What are we talking about? Let's take your phone calls 800-5-85-105-105-1. Let's discuss this to breakfast club. Good morning. Bo-up, woke up. Wake you up.
