Starting point is 00:05:50 Super middleweight world titles. It wasn't that he just... I wasn't It was a pick-me fight for me, right? But it was just the ease that Terrence Crawford ended up beating Canelo Alvarez with was impressive. It was beyond impressive. I knew Bud, I had

You know, Conno was getting upset. Yeah. He was. I had never seen him fight. I just heard about him, but he was getting pissed off. He could not catch that guy. And the fact that Bud went up, what,
Starting point is 00:06:22 three-way classes? Three-weight classes. Well, two from his last fight. Two before in this one, yeah. Well, he won in different weight classes before, right? Oh, yeah. Three-time won this beat of champion. It was just a late fight. That fight happened so late.
Starting point is 00:06:32 Definitely late. I was able to watch it after my Saturday show. I'm like, damn. It's the past 12 night, 12 midnight, and I'm still watching it. All right. In football, Cowboys beat the Giants. You know that. Seahawks beat the Steelers.
Starting point is 00:06:43 Rans beat the Titans, Patriots, beat the Dolphins, the 49ers beat the Saints. The Lions beat the Bears. The Ravens beat the Browns. Stop disrespecting me. Can I get to it? The Ravens beat the Browns. The Bills beat the Jets.
Starting point is 00:06:54 The Bengals beat the Jaguars. Eagles beat the Chiefs and the Falcons beat the Vikings. All right now tonight Tampa Bay Buccanez and the charges play the Raiders. What's up Taz? What's going on? Hey, Jay and Bicke. Hey, Jess to Larry. It's Charlamagne the guy. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:07:10 Well, let's get straight into it, guys. So over the weekend, we're actually on Friday, we know that the killer that killed Charlie Kirk is now in custody. Now, after 33-hour manhunt at a news conference on Friday morning, officials identify the person in custody. as 22-year-old Tyler Robinson.
Starting point is 00:07:28 Now, authorities did not find Robinson on their own. Robinson's father identified him from the photos circulated by the FBI. The sources added that the 22-year-old confessed to his father who urged him to turn himself in. Now, according to his father, Robinson said that he would rather commit suicide than surrender. So then his father called the family friend who is a youth pastor, and then together they called the U.S. Marshals. So there was a press conference as well, and the Utah Republican Governor Spencer Cox had this to say, take a listen. For 33 hours, I was praying that if this had to happen here, that it wouldn't be one of us, that somebody drove from another state, somebody came from another country. sadly that that that prayer was not answered the way i had hoped for
Starting point is 00:08:25 now guys a lot of folks like that he said that he wanted to be somebody from another country they skipped over the part that he said he wanted it to be somebody from another state i didn't see that part how about that although i see was that cliply said i wish you was somebody from another country yeah they clipped it well it actually was not somebody from another country or somebody from Utah and they did recover the weapon guys and I kind of wanted to go over this a little bit. It was an older model Mouser, uh, bolt action rifle. And if you look it up, you'll see that it has a scope on it. A lot of the YouTubeians, you know, over the weekend were, you know, doing all these different videos on how it had to be a sniper. It had to be some type of high level training.
Starting point is 00:09:01 So I want people to know that Tom Cheatham, a former ATF associate deputy director, said you do not need to be an expert to take this long shot. Just practice. He used military basic training as an example. He said that soldiers with no experience are trained to hit targets over 325 yards. We know that the suspect was about 150 yards away from Kirk. Now, I want to be clear, guys, he's not
Starting point is 00:09:23 saying that this guy went to the military. He's not saying Robinson went to the military. He just wanted to use it as an example, because a lot of folks were making, you know, making all these assumptions. And I just want to say as a veteran, an M-60 gunner, I completely agree, guys, you do not have to be a sniper to
Starting point is 00:09:39 take that long shot. So, Let's just continue to wait for the evidence to come out, you know, to see who else possibly could have been involved. But I think that's important, you know, because, again, there were a lot of conspiracy theories online. Remember, guys, basic training is just six weeks. So when I went into the military, I had zero experience at all. And we are hitting center mass by the end of that six-week training and with that type of distance. And Tyler, I mean, he had hunting experience, right? They said he used to go out hunting with his father.
Starting point is 00:10:07 Yeah, there was pictures of him as a kid holding a rifle. So, yeah, he's been shooting for a long time. And then one other thing, Governor Smith of Cox was on ABC yesterday providing additional information that Tyler Robinson did not confess directly to authorities as of now. The governor said that Robinson's live-in romantic partner is the one who is cooperating with authorities. Take a listen to what he had to say. And anything new on the investigation, you say he admitted that confessed? No, not, again, he is he is not confessed to authorities. he is he is he is not cooperating but but but all the people around him are cooperating and I think
Starting point is 00:10:47 that's that's that's very important um there were reports yesterday that that that that we can confirm that that that his roommate was indeed a boyfriend who who is transitioning from from male to female that's that's information that the FBI had had mentioned yesterday we can't confirm that as well and that that that he is cooperating with authorities as well. He sounded a bit nervous there. He sound real nervous saying that. Definitely talking over his words now.
Starting point is 00:11:19 The formal charges will be tomorrow. So I'll bring you that information as soon as we get it. And I know a lot of folks are saying, you know, what does transition have to do with it? And I just want to direct people's attention to that as they're trying to put together motive, this is the evidence that they're collecting. And just to remind you on a lot of the bullet casing,
Starting point is 00:11:38 one of the bullet casing said, if you're gay. If you read this, you're gay. So a lot of folks are asking, you know, what does transition have to do with it? What does the roommate have to do with it? Again, we do not know yet. We will see tomorrow. And then also one more thing before I let you guys go, FBI director Cash Patel, Democrats said he got some splaining to do this week. They will be bringing him before Congress to answer the inconsistencies that he had. Because remember guys, when they said he was in custody and he wasn't in custody, you know, so Democrats will be asking him some questions this week
Starting point is 00:12:10 on why there was some inconsistencies. Yeah, the transitioning thing, that's right wings, media's way of trying to say he had a left-leaning ideology, but they'd be acting like the only people who like transgenders are on the left. Trust, there's as many, there's just as many transgender levels on the right, they just do it undercut.
Starting point is 00:12:26 That's right. All right, well that is front page news. Thank you, Tess. Absolutely. We'll see you next hour. Everybody else, get it off your chest. 800 585-105.1.

Starting point is 00:20:24 There was a lot going on So we are going to start quickly We're going to go over to Vegas For the Canelo versus Crawford fight So I heard you guys talking a bit about it this morning Terence Crawford moved up two divisions To fight Canello and won The Undisputed Super Milled
Starting point is 00:20:37 middleweight championship on Saturday in Vegas. Now, this made Crawford, a four-division world champion and put his name in the history books by becoming the first men's fighter in the four-belt era since 2007 to become an undisputed champion in three weight classes, junior, welterweight, and super middle-weight. So congratulations to him. Absolutely. Now, I do have the audio from one of the post-fight interviews where Canello was talking about Tange Crawford and compared him to Floyd Mayweather.
Starting point is 00:21:04 Let's take a listen. in the world of comparisons that we live in right now if you can compare and contrast the fight between yourself and floy mayweather junior and tonight's bout with terence bud crawford if you can no i think crawford is way better than than floydden yeah now that was the big take of course he's fought both of them yeah he would know so that was a big a big big take but yeah really
Starting point is 00:21:27 i think so not for people who watch boxing no that's not no well i just wanted to make sure that we sent that uh uh terence crawford some of love because he also talked a lot that night about how people underestimated him and thought, you know, because people didn't really, he doesn't have the biggest star power that he wasn't going to win the fight. And he definitely took that home. So congratulations to him. Now, bring. He doesn't have like the biggest star power. No, no, no, no. Yeah. Like people were under, he was saying that people were underestimating him because of that. But we're going to move on over to New York. So this weekend, New York Fashion Week, kicked off. And there was so much going on. So I attended the Sergio Hudson show over. the weekend. Shout out to Sergio Hudson. He came here with Stephanie Mills. He's been here a couple times. So he showed his spring and summer 2026 line and at his show. He had a Landria from
Starting point is 00:22:15 Love Island. I was going to say Love Island on the runway. Her and Shelley of Love Island, if you watch the show you know that from season 6 to season 7, you know, these girls have become like the muses of the show. And they are beautiful. They look like two doll babies. I saw them backstage at, or I saw Alondria backstage at one of the shows and I just couldn't stop staring out. She's so beautiful. Yes.

But also in attendance for Sergio was Ms. Stephanie Mills, of course. Mary J. Blige was there as well. Stylist and Icon June Ambrose. I got to meet her.
Starting point is 00:22:50 Yes, and then Sherry Shepherd was there. I saw Sherry Shepherd a few times this week, but this was one of the first times that we actually got to talk because, you know, you're just moving and grooving. And she had pulled me to the side just to say hello, her and her publicist, Ms. Simone. And they were actually telling me how our segment that we did on Nealong when we reported on it
Starting point is 00:23:07 and we actually pulled the audio of what Sherry said was really helpful for her on the back end because it cleared up all of the because it looked so messy and so crazy. Yeah, so she was just talking to me a bit about navigating this space and, you know, how to get in people's business, but like get to the point and keep clarity in things.
Starting point is 00:23:23 Did she give you some tea on her executive producer showrunner John Murray leaving? She could not give me any tea. She would not tell me anything, but I did make some phone calls. I had a couple conversations because what has been said there's been a few things. It's been that, you know, there was issues with John and
Starting point is 00:23:39 execs. It's been said that possibly John and Sherry and her best friends fell out. He made that clear when he announced he was leaving. Yeah, that they're still good. But what I was told also too, people were trying to say that the conversation was around ratings. That maybe her ratings had slipped
Starting point is 00:23:54 and that's why they're bringing in like new EPs, new showrunners. So what I was told was that the September 2nd announcement when John mentioned that he was leaving, is exactly what it was. It's nothing about ratings. Sherry Shepard has been number two in the 18 to 54 key demographic,
Starting point is 00:24:11 which is the demographic that really matters. The only show above her is Kelly and Mark, and she's been there for some years now. When she got renewed for her season four, I remember being a big thing that she was still number two. So people were making... She's still at number two in 2554.
Starting point is 00:24:24 Yes, 1854. 1854. Oh, 1854. Yeah, but people are making this a conversation about, is her show falling off? Are the ratings going out the window? because now they're having to bring in new staff like the you know the production companies and networks are bringing in people and from what i was told over the weekend that is not true
Starting point is 00:24:40 whatsoever yeah so just wanted to you know clear that up but also fashion week cardi b yes let's get to it baby okay so carty b first of all her and culture were out at some of the shows alexander wayne had a huge show so cute yes so her and culture dressed alike and when i tell y'all culture was the moment baby yes if you watch any of the video from Alexander Wang's show you'll see culture and Cardi and culture is just like she's taking it like she's posing she's doing all the things um a ton of other celebrities as well too but then Cardi took it uptown so she's uptown she's doing this bodega pop-up as a part of her rollout for MI the drama and when i tell y'all there had to be at least like 10,000 people out there it was in the streets yeah yes in the
Starting point is 00:25:23 street her car was literally blocked she couldn't even move i seen on that she would she jumped on the roof right she had to she couldn't go nowhere else she had the baby out there with her culture was also in the car too. But Cardi B talked about the pop-up, and she said that Alenic underestimated the amount of people that would show up. Let's take a list of Cardi B speaking on the pop-up. That pop-up was insane. I think we underestimated that pop-up, but that pop-up means a lot to me because it's like Washington Heights is like my second hood. I used to walk the bridge from high bridge, the 155th bridge all the way over here. I always told you that I used to live on 157 in Broadway. And my grandma, she's from, she's from like, down the block, for real. So for me,
Starting point is 00:26:02 to see so many people pop up for me in the blocks that I would walk up and down up and down with me and one of my best friends, Dallelis and my sister Hennessy and stuff like that. It means a lot to me, like more than you guys could ever imagine. And even though it was like 18 years ago, 15 years ago, it just feels like yesterday and I just can't believe that all these people pop up for me. Drop on the clues bonds for Cardi B. Understanding that you still have to have a rollout and when it comes to Marcos, marketing and promotion, this is a dope rollout.
Starting point is 00:26:34 Okay, like, you know, everybody gave the clips a lot of credit, and they should have got it for just hitting up a bunch of media outlets because that's what you used to do when you would have a rollout. What McCarty's doing is actually, you know, putting together events and pop-ups and marketing and promotion. Like, she's got a very dope rollout. That's what she's doing it like the 90s, very hand-to-hand. She's out there in the street.
Starting point is 00:26:53 She got the thing on, I seen her walking through the trains. I seen her going through the bodegas. The train one was fire. The subway. That was hilarious. The guy really gave her $10. right there on the spot for the album. That was so funny.
Starting point is 00:27:04 Yeah, so while she was at the bodega, she brought almost 200 sandwiches and nearly 300 drinks for everybody outside, according to one of the deli workers. Like she brought everybody their favorite sandwiches, you know, all the things. So, yeah, so. It's just interesting to me to see an artist out there working
Starting point is 00:27:18 because these artists be acting like they're too cool for school. All of them think they're Beyonce. They can just drop an album, and, you know, their TikTok followers and social media followers are going to go buy it. No, you better go out there and work and let people know you got an album coming. That's right.
Starting point is 00:27:30 And then when you sell $30,000. My name is Ed. Everyone say, hello, Ed. Hello, Ed. I'm from a very rural background myself. My dad is a farmer. And my mom is a cousin. So, like, it's not, like...
Starting point is 00:27:41 What do you get when a true crime producer walks into a comedy club? I know it sounds like the start of a bad joke, but that really was my reality nine years ago. I just normally do straight stand-up, but this is a bit different. On stage stood a comedian with a story that no one expected to hear.
Starting point is 00:27:58 Well, 22nd of July 2015, a 23-year-old man had killed his family. And then he came to my house. So what do you get when a true crime producer walks into a comedy club?

Correct.
Starting point is 00:31:19 That's right. Okay. Which is amazing. Cardi's going definitely do over a hundred. Yes, absolutely positive. But they don't really make money from streaming, though, do they? Yes, they do. They make money off of streaming
Starting point is 00:31:29 But it's like, no, not like that But they do make money off of it Yeah, and in wrapping up, I do want to mention You can also order, she set it up, Cardi set it up where you can order Am I the drama on DoorDash Once it's released and it kind of goes Oh, that's crazy

Starting point is 00:32:02 Tessling Figaro's back, so we're kicking with Tess. Let's just, like, drop a clues bomb for Lauren getting through that settling. Thank you. Keeping it moving, right? You kept it moving. You gave us the right amount of details for everything. You ate that down. We missed you at Sergio Hudson. Oh, damn. I mean, not Sergio Hudson. Romeo, yes. I was there, too. Yes. I was there
Starting point is 00:32:19 too. Yes. I landed back and I was tired. I figured. I told him that you had shows. But thank you, sis. No problem. All right. When we come back, Like I said, Teslin Figaro, front page news, so don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. You're checking out the Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJNV.
Starting point is 00:32:35 Just hilarious. Salomey and the Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get back in some front page news. Start off with some quick sports. Over the weekend, Terrence Crawford defeated Canelo Alvarez by unanimous decision. Now he is the undisputed super middleweight holds the world title. So congratulations to Terrence Crawford.
Starting point is 00:32:51 Yeah, drop on the clues bonds of Terrence Crawford, man. I wanted to do Canello and Crawford retired now. Because neither one of them have anything left to prove, you know? I think they do a rematch. No. Why not? Canello made $100 million? $150.
Starting point is 00:33:04 Jesus Christ. Just for real? Yes. Well, Canello got a couple more fights, though. I think Cannello got a couple more fights under Turkey. They said Bud got, I think, $10 million? No. Bud got like $50 million.
Starting point is 00:33:13 But Bud was playing when he said he got $10 million. He said that in an interview with Ack and Barack. He was clearly joking. Oh, I don't know. So if he got $50 million, why Canello get $1.50? The bigger draw. He was the bigger draw. And it's a Mexican independence weekend.
Starting point is 00:33:25 I love to Tarynx Crawford, but Terrence Crawford has never been as big of a draw as Canelo Alvarez. Like, never. Like, people are just starting. A lot of people outside of boxing are just starting to realize who Terrence Crawford is. Correct. Yeah, so he sold most of the, well, yeah, most of the tickets. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:33:41 Okay. Absolutely. Gotcha. All right. And there's some quick sports. Cowboys beat the Giants. Y'Hawks be Steelers, Rams beat the Titans. Patriots beat the Dolphins.
Starting point is 00:33:51 Don't you laugh, Tens. 49 and United States, Lions beat the Bears. Cardinals beat the Panthers, Falcons beat the Vikings, the Eagles beat the Chiefs, Colts beat the Broncos, Ravens beat the Browns, Bengals beat the Jaguars, the Bills beat the Jets, Seahawks beat the Steelers. And then Monday Night Football! The Buccaneers played Houston and the Chargers take on the Raiders.
Starting point is 00:34:09 What's up, Tiz? What's going on, DJ and beat Jets to Lariah, Charlamagne Nagar. Hey, girl. Let's get into it, guys. If you are disabled and use Uber, check this story out. The U.S. government is suing Uber,
Starting point is 00:34:23 accusing the ride-sharing company of discriminating against passengers with disabilities. Now, the U.S. Department of Justice said Uber drivers routinely refuse to serve people with disabilities, including riders who travel with service animals or wheelchairs. The department also said Uber and its drivers charge people without permission for cleaning fees for service animals and charge people for cancellation fees after they deny the service. So let me say that again. After they say, you know, I'm not going to give you a ride, they still charge them for the cancellation fee, so I think that's wrong.
Starting point is 00:34:55 Some drivers also say that they've been insulted, demeaned, and have just been flat out, just been up, the drivers have been ruled to them. So I want to ask you guys a question. I know I've gotten in an Uber before, you know, after a service animal has been in a car, and it did require
Starting point is 00:35:11 a cleaning fee. Do y'all think that's discrimination? No, no. Well, when you get in the car and is a service animal? No. It's meant like dog. No, like if you're getting in after the Uber, if the service animal messed up the vehicle. They're saying that they're getting charged these fees. Do you consider that discrimination or is that fair?
Starting point is 00:35:28 I think the Uber driver needs to let the person know beforehand. Like, there should be something on the app that lets you know, hey, we don't accept service animals. We don't accept, not even just service animals, just dogs in the car, period. Because to me, it just sounds like these Uber drivers don't want the responsibility.
Starting point is 00:35:45 To clean up after somebody animals. Well, you can't discriminate somebody service dogs. Right. But if you just say animals, that's not discrimination. If you say, we don't, I don't accept pets. But if it's a service animal, you can't discriminate. But what about the way? I don't want pets in my car.
Starting point is 00:35:57 You can't work like that because if it's a service animal, you need it for a specific particular reason. But what if my priority is already, I don't want animals in my car. You can't discriminate against service animals. Like, there's some drivers that don't let you eat in their car. Yeah. But eating that's different than a service animal. If you have a service animal and you have a service animal vest,
Starting point is 00:36:09 they have to let you in a majority of all the stores. Like there's certain things of service animals you reply. And some people need that in my car. If I'm in my car and I say, I don't accept animals in my car. If you're a driver and you're driving for the public, you have to be able to take service animals. Same thing with, like, buses and in flights. You have to take service animals.
Starting point is 00:36:27 Are you sure about that? Yes. That's why they're getting sued. That's why they get in suit, yes. He's not just the homies pit bull. Like, this is a service animal that's dead for a reason. It's hard to call it discrimination, though, if I don't want animals in my car.
Starting point is 00:36:39 Yeah, I know. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. This is a tough one when it comes to the animals. Now, you know, not letting people ride. Okay, you know, we can have that. But I know that sometimes you need to pay it clean and feed. That I do know. You know, so I thought that was interesting to talk about.
Starting point is 00:36:51 So it looks like, You guys just made a point on this. It's proved why this is going to court. So another story I want to tell you about our brother, everybody's brother, Malcolm Jamal Warner, wanted to give you an update on his honor and his legacy, his wife over the weekend, Tenisha Warner, who is the widow of actor Malcolm Jamal Warner, who tragically died, as we know, in a drowning accident in Costa Rica, almost two months ago, announced that she and her daughter would be launching two initiatives,
Starting point is 00:37:18 River and Ember and the Michael Jamal Warner Foundation to honor his memory. So she said on Instagram, thank you for holding us in so much love during this tender time. Tomorrow marks our anniversary and my heart is wide open. For the first time, I'm sharing a glimpse of the love that began it all. So you can go to the Instagram, see photos. You know, they had a private relationship. Didn't have a lot of her photos and the wedding photos out there. So she did put that out there.
Starting point is 00:37:46 So they're starting those organizations in his name. And just give you quickly a little bit about it. The River in Ember, it invites families to connect through story and art. The goal is to deepen the bond between parents and children. And the Malcolm Jamal Warner Family Foundation exists to honor the truth by nurturing the next generation of poets, painters, musicians, performers, and creators who carry courage, freedom, and authenticity. We remember that, you know, Malcolm was also a poet as well. Rest in peace
Starting point is 00:38:16 to Michael Newmore and water Absolutely I want to go back to the Uber thing right? Do you have, is there like a certification that proves
Starting point is 00:38:24 your animal is a service though? There is some of your hands on the plane Yeah, they do have they do have a service animal certification
Starting point is 00:38:33 that you can apply for which a lot of people be cheating just as FYI because people get on the plane for free with it but yes you do you can prove
Starting point is 00:38:40 it's a service animal And this is why this is why this is interesting lawsuit because it says Uber drivers must allow service animals but can choose whether to allow other pets are emotional support animals
Starting point is 00:38:51 because these animals are protected by law. For non-service animals, riders got to contact the driver in advance to ensure they are comfortable with pets and to avoid any issues. Right. Service animals are totally different. Like, they're not just your comfort animal. But how do you prove it was the service animal? If I'm a driver... It's supposed to get documentation when you have
Starting point is 00:39:07 service animals. How do you prove it's a service animal? If I'm a drive because if I got my emotional support dog and I'm like, well, I need it. And I'm like, no. And you can buy a vest off Amazon like you could buy a service animal yes you know but you really can't yeah I did one time shout out the Southwest Airlines you can buy not for an emotional support dog
Starting point is 00:39:23 which is yeah that's two different you don't know what that is about no no there's two different things but but that's my point and so it's up to the according to this it's up to the Uber driver's discretion if it's an emotional support he can't he can't discriminate against the service animal but he can tell you if you got an emotional support dog no which is which is
Starting point is 00:39:39 documentation your mental health documentation yeah because people have emotional support dogs or anxiety and all that that's right that's right But that's what they're saying. Yeah, people are getting discriminated against with the service animal as well, you know, for the emotional. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:56 All right. But listen, I want to salute to Taz, man. Taz is going to be doing front page news all of this week because Tesslin Figuero is going to be on Abby Phillips show this Thursday on CNN. They don't mess around and let God damn Tesslin Figuero on mother freaking CNN. And so she'll be that.
Starting point is 00:40:15 this Thursday at, what, Abby, come on at 10 o'clock, right? Yes, sir. Yes, yes, indeed. Congratulations. Yes, definitely. Thank you so much. And I like, that's the reason I like Abby's show, because Abby brings on voices that need to be on TV, but you don't see on TV like you should. Like people like Tesla Figaro.
Starting point is 00:40:32 She'd be bringing Anna from the Young Turks on there. What's Anna Katzparian? So that's going to be, that's going to be good. You know who you're going to be on there with yet? No, they haven't told me yet, but I will be in the studio with you guys on Thursday. So it's Thursday, and we'll see what it do. I'm going to behave myself, Charlamagne.
Starting point is 00:40:46 No, I don't want you to behave on CNN. No, boy. I want you to go off there and be Tesla figurals. I don't want you to behave. All right. Well, thank you, Tes. We'll see you tomorrow. Absolutely, peace.
Starting point is 00:40:58 All right. When we come back, Nick Cannon will be joining us, so don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious.
Starting point is 00:41:09 Charlemaine the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Lawlerosa is here as well. And we got a special guest in the building. A man, I have no problem calling an icon. Oh, I appreciate that, for real. Nick Cannon in his head.
Starting point is 00:41:21 How you doing, my brother? Man, man, I'm good. I mean, I would say the same about you, man. No, not yet. Not yet. Come on, man. Quick play it. You know, the reason made me think of that.
Starting point is 00:41:30 I was listening to you on Miff Bleak podcast. Oh, okay. Yeah. And I was just like, I don't know if it's because you and Bleak got such history. Yeah. But I don't know. I feel like I heard a different side of you in that interview. Really?
Starting point is 00:41:40 I don't know why. It made me look at things in a different perspective. Not like I didn't always look at you. in that way. But I'm like, yo, Nick has really done a lot. And I remember it was one part you was talking about how you just wanted to do things that were always authentic. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:55 And it made me start thinking about all the different hats you've worn, a comedian, actor, TV host, rapper, director, executive. And I was just like, damn. Nah, I pre that, especially coming from you, man, because even that conversation, that was when Mip was up here and he was in.
Starting point is 00:42:10 But I've been in this game for so long. But I've been in this game for so long. Like, I've been running through New York since the 90s, you know what I mean? And I used to run with them because we was all kind of young and stuff. So everybody used to look out for me because I was like this kid that was doing stand-up and rapping and all of that stuff. So everybody would look out for me from from Jay to, you know, Will Smith. All of those different people kind of took a liking to me. So I've seen the game since the 90s.
Starting point is 00:42:40 And to your point, man, like I've been blessed to be able to do so many different things. but it's like time you don't think like damn 30 years it passed you know what I mean like and I've done I've done so much stuff that I forgot about a lot of times
Starting point is 00:42:55 but it's like you know from the movies the TV shows and all that stuff and now I'm just in a space man where I'm just trying to operate and be the best father I can be and you know peace that's it piece is most important
Starting point is 00:43:07 which role feels more most authentically you then and which one do you think people underestimate I mean if we're talking like artistry I love acting I mean at the core but stand up is what got me on you know what I mean stand up is what you can do
Starting point is 00:43:23 for the rest of your life and it's evolved in such a way now so I probably never stop doing that there used to be this idea of like oh I want to be the entrepreneur and the hustler and I kind of I did that for like 10 15 years and did it heavy
Starting point is 00:43:38 it made a lot of money and it was like it ain't even really about that no more so I if I'm talking about my craft. I think I really enjoy acting. But I'm still going to be the business man that I am. I still, now I'm in that space where I just want to give people opportunities. And so
Starting point is 00:43:54 that has kind of almost stepped in front of like how much money I can make. And like, yo, how many people can I help? And that's why I say with you, man. I mean, from the black effect to everything you're building in the spaces of mental health, like it's so necessary and so needed that I don't think you get the flowers
Starting point is 00:44:10 as much as you should because you are quietly building culture for this next generation where nobody else is doing it. Like, and you're doing it in a way where it's unapologetic and I mean, it's, it's, from somebody who always wanted to do it and literally watched you build it, I'm like, man, that's so dope, man.
Starting point is 00:44:32 But you did build it. That's what I'm saying, like, to me, the underestimated part about you is your role as an executive. Because you think about wilding out's going on, what, 22 seasons? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, you know, people may not know. The mass singer, you're an executive producer of that. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:46 That was, you was like, yo, let's do this. I brought it out. Yeah, we got it. We took it from, it was a Korean property. It was a, and it was a hit over season. We brought it here. Now, what, season 14? So it's just like, but that's, to me, those are things.
Starting point is 00:45:03 Like, I just enjoy it. And I guess that's the business mindset as an executive. But to me, like, that's, Like, I'm so in that space now. Like, I'm probably creating maybe three or four different game shows and stuff like that coming up because I understand, like, oh, I can have fun doing this. But then at the same time, this is an empty space that you don't really see us in that much. You was the chairman of teen Nick for 10 years.
Starting point is 00:45:30 10 years. Yeah, yeah. Well, he's over there at 15.15. I mean, you was over there. That story pussed me up because I didn't realize, well, the mass singer story borg me up, because I didn't realize you left America's God talent. Talk about that. Yeah, I mean, well, that was, dang, it was so long ago.
Starting point is 00:45:45 But, you know, me running my mouth, doing saying stuff I ain't had no business, saying, well, actually, I was telling jokes in my stand-up, and NBC didn't like it. And they kind of, like, threatened to fire me. And I was on my Chappelle shit at the time. Like, I had been kicking it with him. And I was like, oh, well, they go. Well, I quit. And I literally just stepped away from America's Got Talent. Everybody was like, yo, this is the biggest mistake of your entire career.
Starting point is 00:46:13 You were thinking, what, $20 million? Yeah, yeah. And it was, people are like, jobs like that don't come around again. Howard Stern was trying to convince me to stay. And I'm looking up to him because he told NBC when, you know, back of the day that he was leaving and all that stuff. So, and he was like, nah, man, keep that job. Simon Cowell, everybody was trying to convince me. And then I was like, nah, I know my worst.
Starting point is 00:46:35 And then I went and created a show over at Fox that was bigger than America's Got Talent. When you posted about you leaving AGT back all those years ago, you had said that at one point you were in a dark place about trying to figure out the decision. Yeah, because everybody was like against me, like my entire team. And I'm like, am I making a bad decision? Because I'm literally trying to stand up for freedom of speech and stand up for my culture and all of that stuff. And it was like, wait, I feel like I'm making the right decision. But nobody, they're like, nah, man, you got to.
Starting point is 00:47:10 This is how the game works. And you're the highest paid host on television and all that stuff. You step away from that. You know, the industry's not going to rock with you no more. And I just stood ten toes down. But it was definitely a dark place because, I mean, and that's happened a few times in my career. So, like, at certain points, it's like, oh, I know what this is. It's a cycle.
Starting point is 00:47:32 You know what I mean? So long as I can always stay true to myself, then it ain't never going to be an issue with me. But it was scary, you know, when the first times happened, you don't know, like, dang, is this over? Dang, how am I going to feed my family from this point on? If everybody around me, agents, managers, everybody was like, nah, you got to figure this out. But, you know, luckily, I believe it in yourself definitely plays off. What did you learn about, like, how to navigate the race conversations working with corporations from that? Because I know the joke was, it was, you jokingly saying, yeah, I said NBC's for a nigger be careful.
Starting point is 00:48:08 it's true they proved you right right and they didn't like that but again and we had we had several conversations you know closed door and it was just it was when you feel something is isn't authentic you just kind of know like yo I'm gonna just trust my gut and sometimes because I don't I don't think there was any malice even from their side and stuff they're trying to protect their brand and then it was part of me that just at that time in my life I was soapboxing so heavy
Starting point is 00:48:42 you know what I mean I wanted to pontificate I wanted to and that's the energy I think even a lot of us was on when it was really just like yo we're standing up for us and we ownership and all of that and I think rightly so
Starting point is 00:48:58 it was a good decision at the time but now that I'm you know a little more mature and all that stuff it's like yo you definitely got to know how to pick your battles, even though I won that one. And, you know, I would encourage people to always stand firm in who you are and what you represent. But that can, it can drain you so much. You know what I mean? And, like I said, it's only by the grace of God that, you know, I am able to continue on and continue to keep going and not stopping. So, but yeah, man, at this
Starting point is 00:49:30 point, man, I'm just, I'm chilling. I'm just like, I'm just, like I said, peace is the most important thing to me. We're still kicking with Nick Cannon, Lauren. Well, you got the Nick at Night Show now. Yeah. Late night space. Why late night space this time? I think, I mean, I'll be honest.
Starting point is 00:49:44 They kind of, you know, Amazon came at me and was like, yo, you should do this. And I was like, all right. You know, it was a fun, you know, take on how to flip late night and almost like late night radio. That used to be like the call in advice for relationship
Starting point is 00:50:00 and sex and stuff like that. So it was a cool. We do it at you know, a spot that I have ownership in in Hollywood and it's just like a cool little date night vibe to where, you know, we bring in a professional whether it's a therapist or a psychologist
Starting point is 00:50:15 and, you know, they give the real advice and I'm just there for the commentary. But it's super dope because then I do man on the street bits with it and all that stuff. So it's just another thing to do again, something to have fun with but, you know, when they presented it to me, I was like, all right, let's get it.
Starting point is 00:50:31 I saw you on this end. You don't believe in, you don't like the term co-parent? I think that was Again, they clickbait I think what I said But in that sense What I was saying I was like
Starting point is 00:50:41 It's parenting You know what I mean I think we start You know Trying to come up With all of these phrases that kind of like No we just
Starting point is 00:50:49 Let's just be the best parents We can possibly be Because then Once you start trying to define What co-parenting is And then it's like Then that diminishes What our experience
Starting point is 00:50:58 As just as parents You know what I mean I think everybody wants to be The best parents To their child child so I was just saying I don't like all of these terms that society just starts putting putting on there especially you know based off of they throw terms at me constantly so I was like why can't it just be parenting like why does it but that it there's a negative connotation sometimes that it goes
Starting point is 00:51:22 and like I've never had a bad experience so I'd rather just like no we parent together like that just sounds you know a little better than what co-parenting co-parenting sounds like you got lawyers involved and stuff like that, which the people who do that, that's cool. But it's like, I feel like if we're really getting to the core of it, parenting is what we're doing. People love coming for you in the parenting stuff. They do. Does it ever get to a point where you're just like, what the hell?
Starting point is 00:51:47 Like, I'm over it. Everything you say. Not really, because it's like, it's been that way for years. Like, I've never, like, I... It's been always since you had 12 kids. I don't know, but even before... I feel like it's heightened because you... I mean, but it's always been able to, like,
Starting point is 00:52:01 from the stuff that we was talking about early that, They always like, I'll say something. My mouth will get me in trouble or something. And then it's like, I got to clear it up. And a few years back, I'm like, man, I ain't even worried about clearing that stuff up. Especially when I have so many platforms of my own that it's just like, well, long as they're promoting it, I'm not even tripping. So, because I'm going to speak my truth. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:23 And if, you know, I'm only responsible for what I say and not for what you understand. Yeah, because there was a clip of you talking about your daughters and who you want your daughters to date. Oh, yeah, yeah. And even with that, I was like, well, if you listen to what he was trying to say and understand it, you're just taking accountability. Yeah, you changed a lot. Yeah. The man you are now is who you want your kids to date, not who you were. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:42 We get a topic about that. Yeah, we did. Yeah. And most men, if you asked them honestly, would you be like, yo, would you want your daughters to date a young boy like you? Yeah. They're going to be like, no. You know, but in that sense, like, as we mature, you're going to be like, look, dad did a bunch of stuff, made a lot of mistakes. Please don't find somebody like that.
Starting point is 00:53:02 but find somebody that is going to treat you right and do that. And that's all I was saying in that sense. It was like I was taking accountability and just saying like, yeah, I do have five daughters. And I want them to make way better choices than I made. And I think that's what every parent wants. I would want my daughters to have the version of me that went on a healing journey. Right. That version.
Starting point is 00:53:24 If you could find that early. Yeah, yeah. Because I know a lot of my home girls, now I tell me, they won't even date a guy who's not trying to do some work on themselves. Maybe in the therapy or something. Big fact. And that's, I think, you know, we obviously share that same energy of, like, therapy has changed our lives in such a way. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:53:42 Because I used to feed off of toxicity. You know, I used to, you know, from being diagnosed as a narcissist and all that. Like, I would, like, that's the type of stuff. It was like my ego. Yeah, like, yeah, I'm my ego. Yeah, yeah. The TikTok girl is going to love that. I don't know why I didn't know you got clearly.
Starting point is 00:54:01 How do you, like, how does that work? It's a process. You got to, one, you got to have the right psychiatrist or even psychologists. They both can do it, but it's like a three-week process to where you got to, they do an in-person verbal interview that you got to answer all of these questions at a certain pace. Then you got to fill out these forms. Then you got to write. And, like, they're, they're not trick questions, but they're questions that, you know, from one to ten, how do you do this? How would you handle this in this situation?
Starting point is 00:54:29 and then it takes about a month to come back and then it's a spectrum and it tells you where you land on the spectrum of NPD and you know luckily like the far end of the spectrum where a lot of people you know associate narcissism with
Starting point is 00:54:49 where there's the lack of empathy and rage I didn't have those like those are the things where like people just you know they're so into themselves that it's dangerous. But all of the, you know, the self-worth and, you know, believing that who you are and that you're, you know, a unique individual and your word matters more than most.
Starting point is 00:55:14 Like I had all of that. And you know what I mean? So that you have to do the work. Once you've been diagnosed, you're like, oh, wow. So even in dealing with my children or dealing with the mothers of my children, it's like now I'm equipped with saying, oh, yeah, I'm probably gaslighting. when I'm doing that or oh you know what I could probably present this a little softer or at least with a little bit more compassion because my nature is to be like what I created this I'm this
Starting point is 00:55:40 I'm that and then it's like but that's not helping you know what I mean we're not looking for resolution I'm just looking to be right and really feeding my ego so I've learned all of that type of stuff and it's helped me become a better parent and a better partner in many scenarios when yeah that was uh maybe like two years years ago? And then, because you ever heard of Dr. Ayman? No. I think you had to see him because he's all online, but he
Starting point is 00:56:07 does all of these brain scans. He's a brain psychiatrist. And he has, it's called the aiming clinics, and they did like this whole brain scan on me. And I'm thinking like, oh, I'm going to be, I'm going to have a genius brain and all of this stuff. And turns out, like, I had like
Starting point is 00:56:25 severe brain damage in my frontal lobe. And like, And he would, like, he said I'm the poster child for ADHD, which I kind of always knew, but I believe it came from, you know, in the brain scans. He did a whole episode on his platform about it, but it actually, they said there was like some trauma probably when I was a kid that, whether I fell or something like that, that actually shifted. And from that, you know, he was like, you were probably already ADHD, but because your frontal lobe was damaged. and then there was like some other we can have toxicity of the brain too a lot of time so there's like whether there's something like and we don't even know it in our communities like everything from like mold and all of that stuff can actually affect how we function and you know obviously you know it's the
Starting point is 00:57:14 gut to mind ratio like just the stuff we're putting in our bodies actually affects our mind so I learned all of this stuff within like the last two years about like having a better brain and having, you know, being able to control your mind and accept the things that you've been diagnosed with, but also know that you can get better. We're still kicking it with Nick Cannon, Charlemagne? I'm tripping because, like, you know, when you started having a bunch of the kids, right?
Starting point is 00:57:38 There's a lot of people around me that's in the mental health space, spiritual leaders. They would talk to me, one person in particular, and I'm not going to say her name, and she was like, he has narcissistic personality disorder, blah, blah, blah. I'm like, Nick? Because to your point, when I think of narcissism, I think of lack of empathy.
Starting point is 00:57:54 I take a rage. I'm like, that's not, Nick. Yeah, nah She called it So to hear you say that It's like wow Nah And it's true
Starting point is 00:58:00 You know what I mean Because it's like It's like There's certain things Especially on the spectrum Where I had to own up And be like man I did do that
Starting point is 00:58:09 You know what I mean I did try to make it all about me I did try to create my own And like those are Those are the concepts We used to embrace You know what I mean Like yeah I'm the boss
Starting point is 00:58:18 I created this It's my world And chicks got a You know Fall in line And all of that stuff Yeah Yeah, so...
Starting point is 00:58:26 What? What? What? Yeah. He was getting the thing, sir. That ain't how you had a kid. My name is Ed. Everyone say, hello, Ed.
Starting point is 00:58:37 Hello, Ed. I'm from a very rural background myself. My dad is a farmer, and my mom is a cousin, so, like, it's not... What do you get when a true crime producer walks into a comedy club? I know it sounds like the start of a bad joke, but that really was my reality nine years ago. I just normally do straight stand. up, but this is a bit different. On stage stood a comedian with a story that no one expected to hear.
Starting point is 00:59:03 Well, 22nd of July 2015, a 23-year-old man had killed his family. And then he came to my house. So what do you get when a true crime producer walks into a comedy club?

Starting point is 01:01:35 with sarcasm, satire, and hard truths. I'm not going to fake it and force it for me. Would you force an orgasm? Because that's like a different layer.

Starting point is 01:02:13 I'm Nick Cannon. But that's, I mean, you learn, man. But I was on that. You know what I mean? I was on that for a long, long period of time. And a lot of, obviously, too, a lot of it, if we're being completely honest, a lot of it is the trauma that I was experiencing of not knowing how to handle divorce. You know what I mean? And like, me acting out because I'm like, oh, I'm the man now.
Starting point is 01:02:41 And I can, and instead of healing and doing what I should have actually did, I just jumped out there. and because I had everything from while and out and all the things is like those were all distractions from the actual work that I probably should be able That's a question. Did you feel like you failed because the marriage failed Or did you, were you worried about what the industry would think
Starting point is 01:03:06 Because the industry was already on some How did Nick Cannon get Mariah anyway? Yeah, I think it was a little bit of both Like I said, I hadn't did the work, you know what I mean? So I was just like, just long as I could keep moving. You know what I mean? like long and and I didn't get a chance to slow down until I got in therapy but I was just like look I just got to keep making money I got to stay hot I got to stay funny and all everything else to
Starting point is 01:03:29 figure itself out and I just didn't do the work so then I looked up you know 12 kids later I'm like wow I could have did things very differently but you know I I stand firm on all of my decisions because you know I love all my kids I love my family infrastructure but I know it all started from a place of pain and and not really healing properly and you know because I had access to everything so I just allowed that to kind of cloud of my my decision making so you think having all those kids was a response to your trauma yeah 100 hundred now that I'm learning that now. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:18 And it wasn't like I was acting out. It was more of being careless, being frivolous with my process because I could do it, because I had the money, because I had the access to whoever and however I wanted to move. And, you know, okay, they're coming at me. They're asking me, opposed to, like, doing a mature thing and saying, hey, well, it probably makes more sense to do this. And then obviously, life happens as well. So it wasn't by, it wasn't like, oh, I'm going to have 12 kids. It was more about like, yo, I'm going to just live life and have fun and whatever happens, happens. I can handle it when it probably, you know, being almost 45 now, I can sit back and be like, yeah, if I would have thought the process through a little bit more and took time to actually do the interoperable.
Starting point is 01:05:11 work, things might have been a little different in certain scenarios. You wouldn't have 12 kids? I don't know. I don't know. I mean like that's the only thing because every, and I've always said this, every child that I had was made out of love and there were
Starting point is 01:05:27 strong relationships. It's just it was, if I would have did the work in the healing after getting divorced, I probably would have took my time in a lot of other scenarios. You never wanted to get a divorce, did you?
Starting point is 01:05:44 Uh, I don't know. That's complicated. Now, obviously, no. Like, the easy question is like, nah, like, you said, I felt like a complete failure on so many different levels because of that. But I also knew it was probably best, it was best for, you know, specifically our kids and kind of being able to be the best parents we could be. So it was a tough decision.
Starting point is 01:06:09 It was definitely a tough decision. but uh but i wouldn't change it you know what i mean looking back i think it was the it was the right decision and i think you know when i look at all the amazing things mara's doing right now i was like yo that's that's dope you know what i mean like she's in such a uh a wonderful space and you know i'm doing i the kids are thriving so i'm like we we did we made the best decision for us because i don't know if it would have been that way if i would have been the mature young dude I was trying to figure it all out back then.
Starting point is 01:06:44 We did a segment up here where Mariah Care was saying that she wished she had dated Tupac. And then Charlotte joke like, she didn't need Tupac. She had the legend Nicholas Kenney and I saw her re-jointed. But you reposted it. And when you reposted it, I was like, oh, okay Nick Cannon, like, stop playing with him.
Starting point is 01:07:00 But I mean, the thing also, Charlie knows this about me. Like, I'm all for the jokes. I'm all for the good time. Like, I'm never going, nothing can make me mad. You know what I mean? So, like, type and you know it's funny like even in our house like Mariah used to have like literally the the picture of Tupac in the bubble bath or like she had a big giant version and I think you know what it's like one of the
Starting point is 01:07:26 bathrooms or something like that but it's like I women love Tupac like that that's one of them things you can't you ain't never gonna be able to compare yourself to Tupac you ever asked her like why this picture of all the pictures I think you know it was a day David Lachapel picture and they she got a relationship with him and all that stuff but I get it I wasn't intimidated by I mean I got abs too man I'm gonna will Smith ever bond over that did you ever oh my god now I understand Nick at night in the show and the love and the relationship and the advice and all that stuff with you because you hear right today I'm like okay I get it before I'm like
Starting point is 01:08:03 why and that's a thing it's so funny too because when people hear like oh nick can't and giving it I'm not giving no advice. Like, if anything, I can give insight, but there's professionals there that are giving a real advice. But it's just, I'm going through a healing process. I'm working, and a lot of the therapists that you see on there are therapists that I've actually really worked with in the past and kind of done stuff. So I know their history and that, and they can actually really help.
Starting point is 01:08:30 And that's just the same thing that, I mean, Charlotte does this as well. It's like, we just got to encourage doing the work in therapy. And especially for black men because we look at it as a bad thing. We look at it as like, yo, you must be crazy or something wrong with you where it's like, nah, man, it's really saved my life in so many aspects. From relationships to personal work to, you know, working through trauma, it's made me a better person. So if I can offer up platforms from whether it's the council culture platform, whether it's Nick Cannon at night, where I can introduce
Starting point is 01:09:06 psychologists and therapists to the space and people, you know, embrace it, I'm with it. Nicholas Scott Cannon, ladies and gentlemen. Yes, sir. Thank you for joining us, my brother. Oh, this is fun.
Starting point is 01:09:16 It's the Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ NVJ.N.V. J. Salomey and the guy we are the Breakfast Club. Salute to Nick Cannon, man. Wow. Revealed a lot. I didn't know that he was diagnosed
Starting point is 01:09:27 with narcissistic personality disorder a couple of years ago and head trauma and all types of stuff. Interesting conversation. Yeah, salute to me. And let's get to the latest with Lauren. Lauren becoming a straight thing. She gets them to somebody that knows somebody.
Starting point is 01:09:42 She gets to detail. I'm the home girl that knows a little bit about everything. She'd be having the latest on this. The latest with Lauren LaRosa. Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details, sometimes you have a little bit everything. Well, it's the latest. On the Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 01:09:57 Talk to me. The 77th Primetime Emmy Awards went down at the Peacock Theater in L.A. last night. It was hosted by a comedian Nate Bargatis. I say his last name wrong all the time, but so he was a former, he's S&L alum, and he opened up the show. They did an S&L skit about the future TV, and then we got into the show. Now, the first person you saw, the first award that was presented was by Stephen Colbert. He walked out
Starting point is 01:10:24 to present Best Lead Actor in a Comedy Series, and he got a standing ovation. Like, he was there to present an award to someone else, but I think, you know, all the conversations about the cancellation of his show or whatever. It was just so much love in the room for him. Yes. Now he actually went on to win a trophy for Outstanding Talk Series at the Emmys and gave an amazing speech. Let's take a listen to Stephen Colbert. Miami goes to the late show with Stephen Colbert. Thank you for this honor. I want to thank CBS for giving us the privilege to be part of the late night tradition, which I hope continues long after we're no longer doing this show.
Starting point is 01:11:08 Ten years ago, in September of 2015, Spike Jones stopped by my office and said, hey, what do you want this show to be about? And I said, I asked, I kind of like to do a late night show that was about love. But at a certain point, I realized that in some ways we were doing a late night comedy show about loss. And that's related to love, because sometimes you only truly know how much you love something when you get a sense that you might be losing it. 10 years later in September of 2025, my friends, I have never loved my country more desperately. God bless America. Ooh, that was a ball drop on a Clues Bond.
Starting point is 01:11:41 Yes. That was, I mean, not that he needs to laugh, laugh, but that was a great last laugh for him at CBS. Because, you know, even being able to thank them in this speech and standing in so much love. Shout out to Stephen Colbert. But the night continued. There was a lot that happened. Tremel Tillman became the first black man to win an Emmy for outstanding supporting actor. in a drama series for his role in The Severance.
Starting point is 01:12:04 Let's take a listen to his speech. You remember what you want to remember. You make time for what you want to make time for. Do the work. Show up. And most importantly, for the love of God, don't embarrass me in public. My first acting coach was tough, y'all. But all great mothers are.
Starting point is 01:12:24 Mama, you were there for me when no one else was and no one else would show up. Your loving kindness stays. with me. And this is for you. Thank you to the academy. I am full. I am humbled. I am honored. And as my mama would say, ooh, look at God.
Starting point is 01:12:43 Great speech. What is he in? I didn't hear of him until last. He's in the severance. The show The Severance. I'm not familiar. Yeah, so I haven't watched it either, but Brandon was actually telling me about one of the producers. He was saying that it had something to do with, like, they go into work, and they remember nothing from their life before work, and then they leave
Starting point is 01:12:59 work, remembering nothing from work. It's like something like it's like a mind game show I haven't watched it but I'm just really happy that he made history yeah I mean I thought it was kind of crime like this 20 20 but we always do this every year when it was the shot right you like damn I didn't even know exactly and his mom was there so it was a great
Starting point is 01:13:15 like you know moment for them you saw them on the carpet you saw him do interviews after just talking about how you know she just influenced his life so it was a good moment for them to shift together yeah how you know a job to go to if you don't remember being there I have not watched the show but Brandon did tell me our producer said that it is a really great show and that he deserved this award a thousand times
Starting point is 01:13:33 over it. Yeah. I'm going to watch it. I'm going to check it out. Same. Now, and other things that took place... Why you say it like that? I am. No, I made a list of shows too. Give me a review. What thing is, something is that good and a brother wins you want to see? 100%. If I got time, I'll watch it. It's a lot going on out there.
Starting point is 01:13:48 No, for real, man. It's a lot of content to consume. It is. It is. Last night, I literally was making a list of all the shows that I was like, okay, maybe I got to sit and watch this and I'm like, win. But yeah, so they did a short Golden Girls tribute last night. they also celebrated 35 years of Law & Order. They had, you know,
Starting point is 01:14:04 Olivia Benson, Ice Tea, and all the cast on stage to present the Outstanding Drama series. Did they do anything for girlfriends? It's 25 years of girlfriends. No, they did not do anything for girlfriends, but I did see the cast of girlfriends got together on their own with Amar Brake-a-Kil. They look so
Starting point is 01:14:20 good. What? Yes. Yes. Yes. But no, they did not do anything for girlfriends. Now, Seth Rogan took home a ton of Emmys, a lot of Yeah, Outstanding, he took home one for Outstanding Comedy Series for the studio, Outstanding Actor in a Comedy Series, Outstanding Writer for a Comedy Series, along with the writing team, Outstanding Director in a Comedy Series. The studio was also one of the shows I wrote down to watch because they took home a lot of awards.
Starting point is 01:14:46 But a big point of the night was Miss Felicia Rashad, who came on stage to start the Immemorial Tribute that they do. Now, when she comes on stage, if you're watching the Emmys, it was, the shot was just like, Oh, my God, it was very emotional. You see her, and behind her is Malcolm Jamal Warner. And she opens up this tribute for, you know, all the people that we've lost over the year, specifically talking about Malcolm Jamal Warner. Let's take a listen. He was a beloved teenager in an iconic television series
Starting point is 01:15:16 who the world watched grow into manhood. And like all our friends and colleagues who transitioned this past year, Malcolm Jamal Warner remains in our hearts. Tonight, as is tradition, at the Emmys, we remember them not just for their immense talent, but also for the way they made us believe in something bigger, the best that is within us. And even though they may no longer be here with us, we can all smile, knowing that their impact will remain, knowing that their lasting impressions will continue to live on through story, knowing that they touched our lives.
Starting point is 01:15:55 And whether you grew up watching them or have just now discovered their brilliance, their light remains in the very fabric of our industry. I love that. The fact that she can stand up there and do that with all that strength and how mom just passed away. That's amazing. That is great. You know, you say that over the weekend, we were
Starting point is 01:16:13 burying Gia's best friend who passed away. Yes. And we passed the studio where Gia and I did the interview with Malcolm Jabal want to go into Georgia. Oh, wow. And I started tearing. So the fact that she can do this and keep it together is amazing. Yeah. Just seeing the imagery was, for me, I was like,
Starting point is 01:16:30 Oh, wow. And her voice along with it. Yes. And Malcolm Jamar Warner, the Living Legacy Instagram, which is ran by his mom. We talked about them starting that. Posted the tribute or a screenshot of a people article of the tribute and said thank you to the Television Academy
Starting point is 01:16:44 and Ms. Felicia Rashad for this wonderful tribute to Malcolm this evening. And a lot of times these awards shows, there's always conversation about them leaving people out and forgetting certain things. I'm glad they got this one right with Malcolm Jamon. You couldn't leave Michael Jamar Warner out. The Cosby Show was the biggest, Literally, the biggest TV show on TV.
Starting point is 01:17:02 I agree, but would you have been surprised if they did? Yes. Yeah, hell yeah. That would have been, yeah, that would have been, yeah. In my opinion, hell yeah, I would have been. They would have been glaring. I was just happy that they did it the way they did it. And he got what he, you know, she opened it.
Starting point is 01:17:15 I thought it was a great, you know, tribute and all the things. But, yeah, that was the Emmys last night. It was actually probably one of the hardest Emmys to watch, in my opinion. Yeah, it was really rough. If I'm not mistaken, I believe Michael Jamal 1 was nominated for an Emmy for the Cosby show at one point. Oh, wow. Let me look it at it. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:17:31 They got nominated a lot, but I think they won like five or six of them. But he definitely got nominated for like Best Supporting Actor in the Comedy Series 19 in 1986, according to the articles online. Yes, man. Yes. So shout out to them. That's the latest with Lauren. All right, Shalda, man. Who are giving that down to two? Man, four after the hour.
Starting point is 01:17:50 It is the holiday season. I don't know if y'all know that or not. And people are picking up extra jobs. Just don't make sure. Just make sure you're picking up the right job. Why are you looking to me like that? It's the holiday season? You're getting ready for the holiday season?
Starting point is 01:18:01 Are you crazy? You got six kids you ain't started yet? Holiday season. November, December, yes. Yes. Can we get the Halloween first? Halloween is a part of holiday season. What is you talking?
Starting point is 01:18:13 Yeah, yeah, yeah. What did you talk about? In September? That's a part of holiday season. It's just September 15. You can get pumpkin spice. It's holiday season. When I hear a holiday season,
Starting point is 01:18:23 I just automatically think about Christmas and Thanksgiving. I don't even think about Halloween as a holiday. Yes. I was thinking about that. When the summer end? Bro. Fall starts next week. DJ,
Starting point is 01:18:32 I mean, DJ and the 27th. Labor Day really is the end of the summer. That, yeah. All right. And once you stop having sex with white women, because you can't have sex with white women after Labor Day, it's the holiday season. Ain't that's the rule?
Starting point is 01:18:43 I thought it was white shoes. You can't wear whites. All right, man. Donkey today's up next, man. White women is crazy. You're checking out the breakfast club. Your execution on the donkey of the day is something too cold. Is it a reason?
Starting point is 01:18:57 He gave me donkey of the day, and I deserve. People need to know. Well, you need to tell them. I am. You have the voice. Tell them. It's time for don't give you the day.
Starting point is 01:19:07 It's a reed, but you're so good at it. You're trying to be a fake-ass Charlemagne. There's only one Charlemagne. Damn, Salam, who you gave a dusty other day to now? Don't you hate when Instagram makes you question your choices? Which mean? Like, I reported them people, you know, the people that leave the spam that says, I wonder why people go to the bathroom when they look at my pictures.
Starting point is 01:19:27 So I reported as nudity. and Instagram are going to ask me, am I under 18? What's that got to do with it? They don't have nothing to do with it. God damn it, I reported it because I didn't want it. Anyway, donkey today for Monday, September 15th, goes to a 62-year-old California chef named Valentino Luchin.
Starting point is 01:19:43 Now, we are in the fourth quarter of 2025. You might as well say we are in the holiday season, people. Okay, once Dunkin' Donuts puts the pumpkin spice items on the menu and Spirit Halloween stores start popping up, we're in the holiday season. And both of those things have happened already. So the holiday season is here. And a lot of people pick up extra work.
Starting point is 01:19:59 during the holiday season okay a lot of people have to work two and three jobs to pay for the holidays okay last holiday season 2004 there was a survey done by side hustles.com that found 78% of Americans are either already side hustling or planning to pick up a side gig to afford their holiday expenses of those responders 59% already have an extra job and another 19% plan on starting one well chef valentino lucian is one of those people who decided pick up another gig for the holidays. Would you like to know what other gigs Chef Valentino Luchin picked up for the holidays?
Starting point is 01:20:35 Well, let's go to trending news for the report, please. If your chef's hat looks suspiciously like a disguise, you might be a bank robber. If you're serving up soufflés one day and subpoenas the next, you're definitely in trouble. This is the story of Valentino Luchin, a man who switched from fine dining to felony.
Starting point is 01:20:50 On September 10th, 2025, San Francisco police raced to a bank on Grand Avenue. The suspect? Not your usual masked villain, but Valentino Luchin. A known for his pasta, not his pilfering. He handed the teller a threatening note, grabbed the cash, and vanished. But the city's finest and some sharp-eyed locals didn't let him get far.
Starting point is 01:21:09 Thanks too, they tracked him down and arrested him. No drama, no car chase, just a chef caught off menu. Here's the real twist. Investigators linked Luchin to. Same method, same chef's touch. Now, instead of plating up risotto, Luchin's facing a full serving of charges at the county jail. In San Francisco, crime doesn't pay, but it sure makes a wild story.
Starting point is 01:21:27 62 years old and decided he wanted to rob three banks in one day proving you're never too old to make bad decisions it pains me to have to say this but you should never trade your spatula for a ski mask okay when you have a legitimate job okay a legitimate skill set that can make you money you never ever ever under any circumstance trade that for a life of crime see some of y'all don't appreciate the positions God has put you in and you always let the devil convince you that you need more and you need it Now, instead of just being patient and letting the gifts God gave you make room for you when the time is right. How you go from preparing a risotto, they're preparing to do 25 to life at 62. Okay, this isn't a young man, all right? This is how I know wisdom requires more than just, you know, living a long life. Even fools grow old. This man had a legitimate job, a legitimate skill, a job that depending on employment type, could get him benefits and health insurance. But he said, you know what?
Starting point is 01:22:27 I'm really missing a federal indictment. Okay, what bothers me the most about this is when you read more into the story in 2018, he was arrested on suspicion of armed robbery at a bank. Back then, he was 54. And he said in a jailhouse interview that he robbed the bank back then because at the time, he thought it was a good plan. So from 54 to 62, Chef Valentino hasn't learned a damn thing about what's a good plan or not. Forget farm the table.
Starting point is 01:22:54 He went from kitchen to prison. So now instead of worrying about a potential suflay collapse, you got to worry about a rectal prolapse. Please give Valentino Lucian the sweet sounds of the hamletones. Oh, now you are the donkey of the day. You are the donkey. Of the day, he-haw. And if you're wondering what a rectal prolapse is, it's a condition where the rectum, the last part of the large intestine protrudes through the anus.
Starting point is 01:23:28 That's crazy. 62 robbing banks. I know. Thank you. Yeah. Because we weren't wondering. No. But yeah, that's crazy.
Starting point is 01:23:37 Three banks in one day. Crazy. 62. You said, you know what I'm missing? A federal indictment. It's true, though. Three banks in one day, man. That's crazy.
Starting point is 01:23:47 That is wild. All right. And you got a job. You're shopping. Yeah, that's crazy. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey today. Yes, indeed.
Starting point is 01:23:54 Now, when we come back, Jasmine Crocker will be joining us. So we're going to kick it with her next and don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy.
Starting point is 01:24:07 Just hilarious. Salomey and the guy. We are the breakfast club. We got a special guest in the building. She goes by the name of Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett. How on? How are you? I'm making it.
Starting point is 01:24:17 How are you feeling? It's tough. It's a tough time. It's a tough time in this country for all people in general. But obviously, as someone who is, and afraid to speak her mind. Our country is truly falling apart and it is devolving
Starting point is 01:24:31 into next level chaos as well as next level violence. I hate to say it. You were one of the first people that I thought about after I saw what happened with Charlie Kirk. Because, you know, I don't want that to happen to anybody. I don't think anybody should be killed because of their opinion or attacked
Starting point is 01:24:47 because of their opinion. And, you know, what happens over there definitely will happen, you know, on this side. And that definitely makes somebody like you were talking. Yeah, I mean, there were so many people that immediately reached out from all over and was like, what is going on with your security?
Starting point is 01:25:04 Like, we need to make sure that you're good. Like, are you somewhere safe? And I had to make sure that I called my mom because I knew that my mom would just want to hear my voice. It really shouldn't be that way. And we now are engaging in conversations again about the safety or lack there of for elected officials that are in Congress.
Starting point is 01:25:22 I mean, I have to pay for my own security. like so I have to raise money to keep myself safe because they will not pay to take care of us even though the other two branches of government they pay for their protection so you know hopefully we can engage in some real conversations around what it looks like to get us some real safety but also we need to engage in like what really does cross the line right like so we do have free speech in this country but are you free to say just any and everything right like I mean there are limits to all of our constitutional protections as well as like what kind of standard are we going to hold ourselves to when you are sitting say in the oval office or you know in the house like how far will you go and so you know I hate that some of my colleagues on the other side of the aisle immediately came out and they were like oh you know this is on the Democrats like we don't even know who did what and y'all are like this is on the Democrats right like I mean obviously the first thing that you know anybody would say and you didn't have any Democrat that went out there and said oh otherwise is like we're denouncing political violence but we're just assuming like and we just want to be clear like that we're not down for political violence but that doesn't mean that's what it was right like we know that people especially me I'm having done criminal defense most offenses like this were personal in the first place now I'm not saying that this was a personal thing but I'm saying like the fact that this can't be personal is is wild right
Starting point is 01:26:51 like the fact that they are presuming that this is somebody that came from our side of the aisle, we know that in the team. That's very dangerous. It is dangerous. We've seen writings and manifestos and we've seen where it looks like the two people that went after the president before he was the president
Starting point is 01:27:08 had ties to the Republican Party. Like they had not voted Democratic. They were registered as Republicans. Like, so let's talk about it. We know that there were members of Congress that left the house last session because they received threats. Not from liberals. They received threats from MAGA.
Starting point is 01:27:24 because literally they would not vote for the MAGA candidate to become Speaker of the House. So we've got to talk about what it means when you're running for president or you're running for one of these higher offices and you go out there and you talk about beating people up. You go out there and you say things like I could shoot somebody in the middle of the street in New York
Starting point is 01:27:42 and I could still win. We've got to talk about like that is next level. Me disagreeing with you, me calling you, you know, I want to be Hitler. All those things are like not necessarily saying go out and hurt somebody. But when you're literally telling people at rallies, yeah, beat them up.
Starting point is 01:27:59 And that kind of stuff, like you are promoting like a culture of violence. So we need to talk about like what it looks like when you don't promote a culture of violence. I think, I mean, the funny part is, it's not funny, but both sides of the aisle do it. So it's like, you know, they'll get on y'all for, you know, saying that, hey, we call the wannabe Hitler, blah, blah, blah.
Starting point is 01:28:16 But they call Democrats, fascists. They call us socialists. They call us all things. But I don't think that that actually evokes an environment. of violence. I think literally saying things about, like, oh, these people don't deserve to live or the images of what we're seeing right now as ICE is going into communities and dragging people and kicking them and taking them down to the ground and busting windows out. Like, that is the we have never seen these types of images of ice, right? Or the idea that you had people that went in
Starting point is 01:28:50 on January 6th, and they literally beat law enforcement. We had people that died. And on day one, and they were convicted. We're talking about over a thousand people arrested. We're talking about convictions that they either pled to or they went to trial and they were found guilty. My name is Ed. Everyone say, hello, Ed. Hello, Ed.
Starting point is 01:29:09 I'm from a very rural background myself. My dad is a farmer and my mom is a cousin. So, like, it's not like... What do you get when a true crime producer walks into a comedy club? I know it sounds like the start. of a bad joke, but that really was my reality nine years ago. I'd just normally do straight stand-up, but this is a bit different. On stage stood a comedian with a story that no one expected to hear.
Starting point is 01:29:33 The 22nd of July 2015, a 23-year-old man had killed his family. And then he came to my house. So what do you get when a true crime producer walks into a comedy club? A new podcast called Wisecrack, where stand-up comedy and murder takes center stage. Available now. Listen to Wisecrack on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Hunter, host of Hunting for Answers on the Black Effect Podcast Network. Join me every weekday as I share bite-sized stories of missing and murdered black women and girls in America.
Starting point is 01:30:16 There are several ways we can all do better at protecting black women. My contribution is shining a light on our missing sisters and amplifying their disregarded stories. Stories like Tamika Anderson. As she drove toward Galvez, she was in contact with several people, talking on the phone as she made her way to what should have been a routine transaction. But Tamika never bought the car. And she never returned home that day. one podcast one mission save our girls join the search as we explore the chilling cases of missing and murdered black women and girls listen to hunting for answers every weekday on the black effect podcast network i heart radio app apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcast
Starting point is 01:31:05 hi my name is enya yumanzoor and i'm drew phillips and we run a podcast called emergency intercom If you're a crime junkie and you love crimes, we're not the podcast for you. But if you have unmedicated ADHD... Oh my God, perfect. And want to hear people with mental illness, psychobabble. Yes, yes. Then Emergency Intercom is the podcast for you. Open your free IHeartRadio app.
Starting point is 01:31:35 Search Emergency Intercom and listen now. Do you want to hear the secrets of serial killers, psychopaths, pedophiles, robbers? They are sitting there waiting for... the vulnerable thing. They're waiting for the unprotected. I'm Dr. Leslie, forensic psychologist. I advocate for safety and awareness of predators while wearing pink. When you were described to me as a forensic psychologist, I was like snooze. We ended up talking for hours and I was like, this girl is my best friend.
Starting point is 01:32:03 This is a podcast where I cut through the noise with sarcasm, satire, and hard truths. I'm not going to fake it and force it for me. But would you force an orgasm? Because that's like a different layer. The car accident you didn't want to see but couldn't turn away from. In this episode, I discussed personal safety and self-defense, tools, instincts, and strategies to protect yourself and your loved ones in everyday life and high-risk situations. Listen to Intentionally Disturbing on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And some of them got 20 years or so.
Starting point is 01:32:41 and then on day one you say let me let them go and we know that since those people have been let go that at least one got caught up for a murder plot another one ended up with a reckless homicide another one ended up with child porn we know that at least 10 of them ended up with new cases for doing other things and so it's like we have the criminal that I would call injustice system
Starting point is 01:33:06 but the idea is supposed to be that like you know you do bad we're going to put you up so that people maybe will be deterred from doing bad but it's almost like bad behavior is being rewarded and if like the worst that I can say is like that I understand history
Starting point is 01:33:23 that you're trying to take out of like the schools and that the balance of power is out of balance and that you are operating as a dictator by invoking quote unquote emergency powers illegally consistently that you are constantly violating the Constitution
Starting point is 01:33:39 these are just facts that doesn't mean that I want somebody to go out and hurt the president of the United States. In fact, when those attempts took place in a bipartisan way, we voted to raise the amount of money that is allowed and allotted to protect him. So no, I can say that your policies are bad. I can say you're a criminal because you have been found guilty of 34 convictions. Like, I can say all these things because they are true. That's not even just free speech.
Starting point is 01:34:12 These are just facts. So don't get mad that I speak the truth and I speak facts, but I literally have never said anything to invoke violence. And I challenge somebody to go and find a clip of a Democrat invoking violence. Right now, everybody's gotten so sensitive. I woke up and a friend sent me a text message where somebody else had been fired for repeating Charlie Kirk's words, right? Like, they're firing people and they're canceling people
Starting point is 01:34:39 because people have gone out and looked at some of the things that he said I'm gonna be honest I never said a word about Charlie Kirk like he wasn't on my radar like I wasn't I don't go and follow the right wing special people like I don't like it's just not
Starting point is 01:34:54 I got other things to do and some of my friends who had never heard of him were like let's dig let's figure who is he right because people are like this is coming up on our feed and we don't know what's going on
Starting point is 01:35:05 we don't know who it is and literally I didn't know he had ever talked about me and I guess it was recently but like I had never seen it I never paid attention to it whatever you know what I mean and that's kind of where we got to get to but I think ever talking about who should die ever saying who should be beat up ever saying who doesn't deserve to live you know taking people and throwing them in cages to the extent that they're literally dying I mean we've had more in custody deaths as relates to ICE we're on record to
Starting point is 01:35:39 hit a record for that. And so like, are we going to have these real conversations on that same day? We had kids that were shot again. Colorado. At another school. And there's been no conversation around those kids. And the thing is
Starting point is 01:35:54 what did they do wrong? Nothing. They showed up to school. That's what happened with them, right? And so we've got to talk about the culture of guns in this country and what it looks like to truly understand what the Second Amendment stands for and it doesn't mean
Starting point is 01:36:10 that everybody got to be the Wild Wild West and now can we have a conversation about everybody having guns doesn't necessarily prevent gun violence we're still kicking it with Jasmine Crockett what did you think about Kamala Harris former VP Kamala Harris her excerpt from her book where she finally speaks her
Starting point is 01:36:28 truth in regards to the Biden administration and how they wouldn't come to her defense how they helped to spread negative narratives about her what did you think of that playing jump her resume so I so that day I was at work so I haven't read through it. And that was the Charlie Kirk Day as well. So I was stuck for until like 9 p.m.
Starting point is 01:36:44 at the Capitol. I will say this. As a national co-chair on that campaign when I had an opportunity to talk to the vice president as frankly and honestly
Starting point is 01:37:00 as I typically speak maybe with even more frankness on some of my cuss words. That is how I would talk to the VP. And there were a lot of people that did not understand why and how the VP ever picked me as a national co-chair. It is not every day that you have a black woman freshman that ends up becoming a national co-chair on what truly was a historic campaign, no matter what the results ultimately were. And one of the reasons is because she never had to worry about me backstabbing her.
Starting point is 01:37:35 Like being ten toes down. like telling her and I wasn't one of those surrogates that's like oh send me and have me do a rally no no no I'm trying to get in the streets I'm trying to talk to the real people and then I would try to report back to her and let her know like yo
Starting point is 01:37:53 this is what I'm feeling in the streets that kind of stuff because I never wanted anything other than her to win because that was a win for the American people and I think that people took for granted how perceptive she was of who it was that literally her riders were
Starting point is 01:38:13 it is one of the reasons that we saw Secretary Fudge being elevated as one of her national co-chairs another person that when the history books are written there will be so many black women elected that will talk about kind of all that Secretary Fudge has been to so many of us behind the scenes. So I will say that I am not surprised because, you know, there were a lot of things that were going on.
Starting point is 01:38:42 Number one, we had those that were trying to push Biden out, but they weren't just trying to push Biden out. They were trying to push Biden out. They didn't want her to become the nominee. They had their pick in mind, and it wasn't either one of them. And, you know, I remember tweeting when it was actually decent to do. I remember tweeting out and saying that I would
Starting point is 01:39:05 only go and bust my ass for one candidate and that would be the vice president if they came up with anybody else God bless them, good luck but I'm not about to run myself ragged when y'all decided to kind of do this so there's so many layers
Starting point is 01:39:19 to what it is to be in elected office and it is always tough to build a team of trust it is what matters most you can teach somebody the skills but you can't teach anybody to literally have your back and politics is such an ugly game
Starting point is 01:39:34 that it is so important and so the bigger your team gets the more difficult it is now do I believe that the president himself did anything against the vice president I don't everything that I know about Joe Biden
Starting point is 01:39:50 as well as the VP she never backstapped him to be like oh this is my chance let me try to get it nothing like that and you can't have a vice president that's always gunning for your job you have to have a vice president that is like riding out and going to do the things um and so I think between the two of them while I've not read her book at this point in time I feel absolutely confident that she never
Starting point is 01:40:16 backstabbed him he never backstabbed her but when it comes to staff life is real yeah life gets real tricky do you ever get tired of being loyal to people who aren't loyal to you Because Jasmine, I've seen them do the exact same thing to you That they do to Kamala Especially when you lost your bid to be the top dim On the oversight panel I've said it a million times on the radio Everywhere I go
Starting point is 01:40:38 There is nobody who should be front and center More in the Democratic Party Than you right now Just because you bring the eyeballs You know how to message Whether people like it Whether people don't like it You know how to message
Starting point is 01:40:52 Yeah so I truly believe that everything happens for a reason even the bad things or even the things that I believe made best sense. Me running for oversight was always about trying to do best by my party, by the caucus, and trying to hopefully get us into a better space with the people that we serve. But at the end of the day, if people don't want my service, they don't want my service. But if I said that I was not disappointed with how much I had. given to a caucus that then felt like they reduced me to not being worth it, like,
Starting point is 01:41:31 very much. It was eye-opening. And so for me, I look at it like God was trying to reveal to me and let me know, like, yo, like, you couldn't for some people that ain't checking for you, right? Like, you need to recenter and rebalance yourself. And so I did decide specifically after that that I was going to focus more on working with the black faith community. and making sure that they have the information that they need,
Starting point is 01:41:57 making sure that they're organizing in the way that they need to organize and really availing myself of them and making sure that I could support them with some resources because I... You're very humble. You raised over $4 million for the caucus. You did over $110 trips. You gave out almost $600,000.
Starting point is 01:42:14 You was the seventh highest fundraiser and the whole caucus for quarter one this year, right? Yeah. Come on now. Yeah, no. I mean, it was in Q2, I moved up. I was even higher. So they cool with you later.
Starting point is 01:42:24 You know, in the field, but they don't want you leading from from at the table. Come on now. That is what it felt like. So, you know, I mean, listen, sometimes you have to be put into an uncomfortable position in order to move you. And so for me, it was about kind of recensoring and talking to God and saying, okay, it's clear that, like, this isn't what you want me to do. So, like, where is it that you want me to go? So, you know, we will see, like, you just ask me about, you know, you know, you know, which seat I'm running in and that kind of stuff.
Starting point is 01:42:56 There are definitely those that want me to run statewide. So we're not ruling out a statewide run either. So there's just a lot of things that play because it's like maybe the house, maybe it's over. Maybe that was the message. Like, I don't know. We'll see what numbers look like. Also, send that might be a thing? Potentially.
Starting point is 01:43:20 Potentially. We'll see. I mean, right now I'm focused on the redistricting. We're in trial. We're doing those things. But, you know, filing doesn't end until December. And so what we're going to do is we're going to evaluate. We're not going to take anything off the table.
Starting point is 01:43:37 And we'll see. We know that my current Attorney General, Paxton, is a uniquely bad candidate. And, you know, it would be the best kind of, to the Republicans to specifically target my state, specifically target my district worried about a house seat and then I'd be able to snatch a Senate seat so so we'll see we'll we'll keep doing evaluations I can tell you that you know from everything that we know without having done our own polling it is definitely within striking range so we'll we'll see Congresswoman Jasmine
Starting point is 01:44:17 Crockett man please pray for Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett always and you know you just be safe out here Appreciate you. Good to see you. It's the Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ NV.
Starting point is 01:44:33 J. Salaray and the guy. We are the breakfast club. Let's get to the latest with Lauren. Lauren becoming a straight fat. Tell her. She gets them from somebody that knows somebody. She gets to detail. I'm the home girl that knows a little bit about everything.
Starting point is 01:44:46 She'd be having the latest on this. The latest with Lauren La Rosa. Sometimes you have facts. Sometimes she has details. Sometimes she has details. a little bit everything. Well, it's the latest. On the Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 01:44:57 Talk to me. So over the weekend, another big congratulations goes out to the Clips. They became the first rappers to perform at the Vatican. Now, this took place during the Grace World concert, which was broadcasted live on Disney Plus, Hulu, and ABC News Live. They performed The Birds Don't Sing, which is their song with John Legend from Let God, sort them out. Let's take a listen to the clips in John Legend.
Starting point is 01:45:22 I love you, mad nights. Hate that he won't remember you Two things that break my heart Is what November's do And he follows you Now mind you D-D calls you Cheating finds you
Starting point is 01:45:33 Was that your vision Precision While I'm reminiscing It all his different My list The birds don't sing The birds don't sing They squeet
Starting point is 01:45:44 Yeah Yeah Yeah The birds don't sing the birds don't sing this sweet rain yeah now why is that a big deal
Starting point is 01:46:00 that they performed to the Vatican? It was a big deal because I think a lot of people don't know Farrell's involvement in this so Farrell so first of all
Starting point is 01:46:07 the global event is something that took place in this location for the very first time ever the concert the global event was co-directed and executive produced
Starting point is 01:46:15 by Farrell but why the Vatican though? Why is the Vatican why is it? Well because so the setting So the setting of the event is a part of the human fraternity,
Starting point is 01:46:26 the world meeting on human fraternity, which brings together people from all over the world to focus on what truly makes us humans. Peace, it's unity. The Vatican, you know, symbolizes a place of, like, spirituality. It's the center of the Catholic Church. Yeah, I didn't know, you could do, I thought you couldn't do secular music in the Catholic Church.
Starting point is 01:46:41 I thought you could only do gospel. No, I thought so too. This was the first time that the concert went down and Farrell EP did and brought it to life. There were over 300,000 people in attendance. it was open to the public. But the song that they did was talking about their parents, though.
Starting point is 01:46:55 Yeah, so it wasn't quote-unquote secular because he was talking about his mom and his pop. That's still a secular record. He's still a rap, what you mean? Yeah, but he's talking about his mom and finding his mom passed away and his dad and their relationship.
Starting point is 01:47:07 They like gospel and nothing else. They looked good, they sounded good. You got John Legend pulling up to perform with you, you're doing something right. Yes, and he was actually on the keys when they started and, you know, they had the choir with them. Now, Farrell actually spoke. Because secular music is just non-religious music.
Starting point is 01:47:21 Please keep that in mind. Okay. Forrell actually spoke. And he talked a bit about just the event itself in the world stage that it was on. Let's take a listen. To stand here in this holy place with my fellow artists, world leaders, and all of you beautiful souls, my humblest and sincerest thanks. First and foremost, I want to sincerely thank His Holiness, Pope Leo, for opening the doors to this.
Starting point is 01:47:49 sacred place to us all and reminding us that true compassion and grace begin with fraternity seeing one another as brothers and sisters and fellow human beings and fellow siblings and to all the artists who have brought their bright light to this moment today I want you to understand that I and all of us we feel grace we feel love grace is the light that lives in each of us waiting to be shared not just the blessing that we receive but a force that we extend to one another. Well, drop on the clues, boss, for the Clipson and Farrell.
Starting point is 01:48:25 Also, Pope Leo for opening up the Vatican for them. He's from Chicago. He's from the Shire town, so he was like... Oh, the Pope? Yeah. He's from the Shire. Oh, Blot. Now, I don't know if he's from Old Black. I don't know if he's from Old Black, but he was born in Chicago.
Starting point is 01:48:38 Yeah, I know they look good, though. And the choir killed it. Yes. They did sound really good. Now, in other... Terence Crawford and Terence Thornton both had amazing weekends this week. Her. Two times.
Starting point is 01:48:48 And now in other concert news, I want to take a second to congratulate GZ who announced that he'll be doing a residency in Vegas. So you guys know that he's been doing the TM 101 Orchestra tour. That's right. Now, they did invite. That's what they need in the Vatican. No, that way. They'll talk about. Okay.
Starting point is 01:49:06 The realest, nah, it ain't going to do that one. What makes us all human? That really ain't secular at all, yo. That's not. Gospel, secular, and nothing. He can't perform there. Well, so they announced after his final show in Detroit, on Friday that he be heading to Vegas in a residency.
