Hello, my undeadly darlings. It's Teresa, your resident ghost host. And do I have a treat for you. Haunting is crawling out from the shadows, and it's going to be devilishly good.

Sleep tight, if you can. Listen to Haunting on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. On Thanksgiving Day, 1999, five-year-old Cuban boy Elian Gonzalez was found off the coast of Florida. And the question was, should the boy go back to his father in Cuba? Mr. Gonzalez wanted to go home, and he wanted to take his son with him. Or stay with his relatives in Miami?
Starting point is 00:01:22 Imagine that your mother died trying to get you to freedom. Listen to Chess Peace, the Elian Gonzalez story on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey guys, I'm Kate Max. You might know me from my popular online series, The Running Interview Show, where I run with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, and more. After those runs, the conversations keep going. That's what my podcast, Post Run High, is all about.
Starting point is 00:02:00 It's a chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper into their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together. Listen to Post Run High on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey there, I'm Dr. Maya Shankar, and I'm a scientist who studies human behavior. Many of us have experienced a moment in our lives that changes everything, that instantly divides our life into a before and an after. On my podcast, A Slight Change of Plans, I talk to people about navigating these moments. Their stories are full of candor and hard-won wisdom. And you'll hear from scientists who teach us how we can be more resilient in the face of change.
Starting point is 00:02:41 Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. This is America. There is no question that there are problems in this country between police and community. Yes, you are a dog. To the latest on that police killing of a black man. Now to new developments
Starting point is 00:03:02 in the deadly spa shooting rampage. And yesterday 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 violence is and always has been the number one threat to our society. But I'm also very proud that my wife is white. The breakfast club, bitches! All right, Charmaine, please tell me, why was I your donkey of the day? Donkey of the day for Wednesday, November 6th. I don't why was i your donkey of the day uh donkey of the day for wednesday november 6th i don't i don't even really have a donkey of the day i just want to talk to us
Starting point is 00:03:31 my fellow americans listen uh america has spoken and they spoke loud and clear donald trump will be the 47th president of the united states of america i have friends on the right i have friends on the left i have friends in the independence And regardless of who we all decided to vote for yesterday, guess what? Donald Trump is now all of our president again. I don't want to fight anyone. I don't want to argue with anyone because at the end of the day, we are all Americans. We all want what's best for this country. I hope. OK, I know today Democrats are going to be looking for someone to blame. Let me be the first to tell you it's not just one thing. I personally feel like Donald Trump speaks to people's grievances better than Democrats democrats do i know people are going to talk about misinformation and the dumbing down
Starting point is 00:04:09 of society i understand all of that but you don't have to be intelligent to know you can't pay your bills you don't have to be intelligent to know you can't afford groceries people will forget what you did they will forget what you said but they will never forget how you made them feel and to millions of americans tens of millions of americans uh they simply felt financially better when trump was in office i don't think it's fair to just chalk up you know trump winning to racism sexism homophobia anti-semitism yes he tapped into all of the worst things america has ever had to offer and there are a lot of people who agree with his rhetoric and voted for him because of those reasons but i truly believe most people voted for him because
Starting point is 00:04:43 they want more money in their pocket and they want to feel safe. Look, I know the economy does better under Democrat presidents, but Democrats haven't been able to make the American people believe that. I know the border is a bipartisan issue, but Democrats spent a lot of time acting like it wasn't an issue. Democrats created the sanctuary cities. Democrats told them to come on in.
Starting point is 00:05:01 Meanwhile, Republicans were putting migrants on buses and planes and sending them to those sanctuary cities, then then democrats had to change course but it might have been too little too late because at the end of the day once again when you see all that money going to migrants going to the border issue all you can think to yourself is they have billions for that but aren't making investments into the communities right here in america you see homeless people everywhere you don't have no money in your pocket. You don't know how you're going to pay your bills. You're facing eviction. Listen, I'm not saying Trump is going to fix all of that.
Starting point is 00:05:29 All I'm saying is Donald Trump has made people feel like he will fix all that in a way that Democrats have it. Once again, don't just chalk it up to racism, sexism. Okay, I believe those things play a role, but at the end of the day, it's the economy, stupid. And Democrats might just be really out of touch with what everyday americans are feeling now i didn't want to come on here today and be all doom and gloom i have absolutely zero reason to believe donald trump is going to
Starting point is 00:05:55 be a president that brings people together but i'm going to be optimistic because i don't know any other way to be i hope this isn't the beginning of Donald Trump's revenge tour. I hope this is the golden age of America, as he said. I hope all the nut-ass things Trump said he was going to do, he doesn't do, because one thing Vice President Kamala Harris said repeatedly is Trump has an enemies list, I have a to-do
Starting point is 00:06:17 list. There is a lot of things that need to be done in America, and I hope he gets to do it. And we the people need to look alive on the ground because you have a Republican Party that has a majority in the Senate. Judge Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas, they'll probably retire. That means Trump will get two more Supreme Court picks. So what I'm basically saying is there is nothing we can do right now
Starting point is 00:06:39 but try to come together some way, somehow. That's it. Huffington Post just posted an article with the headline, Trump just ran the most racist campaign in modern history and won. What are we supposed to do about that? Okay, I'm looking at some of these numbers. I don't even know if these are true, but I'm looking at the numbers. I'm seeing high Hispanic, you know, voters nationwide voted for him.
Starting point is 00:07:00 You know, I'm seeing a slight uptick in black men. They are 52% of white women. We can keep saying, you know, I'm seeing a slight uptick in black men. They are 52% of white women. We can keep saying, you know, Trump is a threat to democracy, but nobody's treating them like one, not the media, not the DOJ, and certainly not the voters because they spoke last night. America got the president it voted for and America got the president it deserved. But now I'm simply asking, how can we all coexist civilly? That's what I'm thinking about today. That's what I'm thinking about right now.
Starting point is 00:07:26 People are hitting me saying things like we about to live in a world that looks like our grandparents world or worse. People are saying this is going to be Jim Crow 2.0. I don't know, but I know I don't think that's what any of us want. Right. It might be too much to process right now. It is early in the morning. OK, this is all just hitting us. So if you want to get back to this later,
Starting point is 00:07:46 I'm fine with that. But I just want us to start thinking about it because it's going to be a lot of work. But I know God is the best author and finisher. And I don't know what God is trying to tell us right now. I don't know what story God is writing. But I'm listening. Please just hit the hee-haw.
Starting point is 00:08:09 That's all I got for you right now. That's it? This is exactly how people don't read. These stories be so crazy. What story you read just now? Just what's happening right now. Best author, best finisher, read. Are you slow?
Starting point is 00:08:22 Like, what is happening? You a little distraught this morning, huh? I am. I am. I have been all morning. I don't know. Y'all in here so hopeful. You just scared her.
Starting point is 00:08:32 I know. You scared her earlier, Charla. When you told her that the wig on tripling prices, she been nervous ever since you said that. Donald Trump was trying to sell China. I ain't nervous. You know what I did? Her wigs are going to quadruple.
Starting point is 00:08:41 But that's going to be the least of your worries. I already started my chat about my silk presses. I ain't worried. But that's going to be the least. Hair under here is good, baby. Trust me when I tell you But that's going to be the least of your words. I already started my chat about my suppresses. I ain't worried. But that's going to be the least. Hair under here is good, baby. Trust me when I tell you, that's going to be the least of your words. But that's why I'm scared. But I'm hoping it's not.
Starting point is 00:08:51 Am I wrong for wanting to be optimistic? No, we should be optimistic. We got four years. We should. No, we might have forever. Let's talk about that. Forever. Because he said we're not going to be able to vote again.
Starting point is 00:09:02 That don't scare me. He said there's no more elections after this one. You sitting here, y'all hopeful, optimistic. able to vote again. That don't scare me. He said there's no more elections after this one. You sitting here, y'all hopeful, optimistic. He definitely said that. That's my whole point. He said all of these things. I'm done. I don't want to read this, but God, I know you're the best author, finisher, all that, but I... God, I'm ready to read. Yeah, you better not go against God. I don't know what you're
Starting point is 00:09:18 talking about over there. I'm not going against God. I have reservations. I'm not going to read what you told me to read, but I don't know what you're saying. We need to talk personally before I just don't get it. I don't understand. I don't understand either, but you read, but I don't know what you're saying. We need to talk personally before. I just don't get it. I don't understand. I don't understand either, but you know sometimes you shouldn't lean on your own understanding. I know that's right. You better preach over here.

By the way, don't nobody need to have all the phone. Let's open up the phone lines. Don't nobody need to have all the answers. Nope.
Starting point is 00:09:47 We don't have them. You know what I'm saying? We don't, you know, all I know is the American people made a decision last night. It is what it is. Wasn't no cheating involved. Somebody called up here early and tried to say, stop. It's not a steal. It wasn't no steal.
Starting point is 00:10:00 Okay. This is a free and fair election. And America spoke very loud. All loud all right well let's take the phone look at that map it looked like a mirror period on uh it's just red everywhere yeah what'd you say it looked like what the period is on red everywhere you leave women alone today leave us alone today we got enough that we have to worry about don't all right let's leave us let's open up the phone lines it's the breakfast club good boy donkey of the day is sponsored by renowned personal injury attorney Michael the Bull Laminsoft.
