I didn't know he was gay know either but the crazy thing is I know he was gay but I know he's gay is good it's cool I didn't know but it was something

No, no, no. That's wild. He's not. No, he's former United States Secretary of Transportation. He ran for president a couple of years ago. He has two kids. He's married. We'll talk to him. We'll get into his life. He served in the military. He's a good guy. He's cool as hell. Yeah, cool as hell. Good guy. Alright, well let's get this show cracking before we do. You're where this weekend?

I am in Arlington, Texas. You also get your tickets if you have not yet. JessHillarysOfficial.com will be at the Improv. We got two shows tomorrow, which is Friday, and we got three shows on Saturday. I just added a matinee because I will not be doing shows Sunday. So get your tickets, Arlington, Dallas, Fort Worth. I'll see y'all there tomorrow. All right.

Well, let's get the show cracking. When we come back, we got front page news. So don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning everybody. It's DJ NV Jessel Arish, a LeMain guy. We are the Breakfast Club.

Let's get some front page news. What's up, Morgan? Hey, y'all. Hey, how we feeling on a Thursday? Black and holly favorite. What's happening, Morgan? I love to hear it. All right. So first on front page, the Wall Street Journal is reporting. Morgan hey, how we feeling on a Thursday? What's happening Morgan? I love to hear it

All right So first on front page the Wall Street Journal is reporting president Trump was informed back in May that the Justice Department Or excuse me by the Justice Department that his name appears multiple times in the Jeffrey Epstein files Now the outlet said officials told Trump during a routine briefing that the files contained what believed was unverified hearsay about many people, including Trump. One administration official told the journal that hundreds of other names are contained in the documents. Trump was also reportedly told by the DOJ that they did not plan to release more documents

because they contained child pornography. Now the new report comes days after the journal published a story about an alleged birthday letter sent by Trump to Epstein to which Trump is suing the outlet and its owners for $20 billion. Elsewhere, Jeffrey Epstein's brother has come out and said that President Trump's claims on never visiting the sex offender at his office is just another blatant lie. Mark Epstein refuted the president's claim and said that people worked for Jeffrey in his office and they could testify that they saw Trump in Jeffrey's office on numerous

occasions. So just a little tidbit there regarding those files that everybody wants to see and we're still waiting for. Did they say whether he's mentioned in there because of allegations or just association? Just right now it says here, quote, unverified hearsay about many people, including Trump. I have a theory that Republicans are tired of Trump and we're about to witness a political coup and they're going to use the Epstein files to get him out of here and take their party back.

But I'll explain more during Don Quixote here today later. But I won't get too much into that. The White House says that former President Obama tried to sabotage President Trump after his 2016 election victory. Press Secretary Caroline Levin said newly classified or excuse me, declassified documents confirm those allegations. Let's take a listen to her comments. The Obama administration manufactured politicized intelligence, which was later used as the

justification for baseless smears against President Trump. So Levitt said the documents also further confirmed there was no collusion between President Trump and Russia. This comes as director of national intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said the Obama administration colluded with the intelligence community to go after President Trump. She said Obama officials suppressed evidence and withheld the truth from the American people. Gabbard called the report troubling and said that, and she spoke more about the findings involving the Obama administration.

Let's take a listen to Tulsi Gabbard's comments. There is irrefutable evidence that detail how President Obama and his national security team directed the creation of an intelligence community assessment that they knew was false. The report that we released today shows in great detail how they carried this out. They manufactured findings from shoddy sources. They suppressed evidence and credible intelligence. And yes, so Obama's office has responded to the allegations calling them outrageous, bizarre,

and a weak attempt at distraction. Yeah, deflection, distraction. Like what about those Epstein files though? That's why I keep saying, don't stop talking about those Epstein files. Like Trump treats Obama and Democrats the way some people in the culture treat Jay-Z and Roc Nation.

Okay? It doesn't make any sense. We're talking about something for 2016. Like what are we talking about? So why he didn't do this in his first time? Exactly. What about the five? He heard his name was in the Epstein files

and said, all right, no more Epstein files. We gonna hold that off. No, bro, the Epstein files is where the conversation should stay, okay? Especially when you see the House took the summer off so they don't got to take a vote on the F-15 file. That should tell you everything that you need to know. The House took the whole summer off, two months, so they don't have to vote on the F-15 files.

What about everything else going on in the world? But wait, not before the House Republicans voted on us, or excuse me, at least the House Committee on Tuesday approved an amendment to call the Kennedy Center First Lady Melania Trump Opera House. You know, they had time to do that. So House Republicans, of course, want to rename the Kennedy Center's Opera House after First Lady Melania Trump. And on Tuesday, they approved an amendment to do that, calling it the First Lady Melania

Trump Opera House. The proposal came from Idaho Republican Mike Simpson. And of course it passed along party lines. If it becomes law, Congress would need to approve the broader, it would, excuse me, if it would become law, Congress approves the broader GOP spending bill that funds the Department of Interior, EPA and other agencies. So yeah. I have no idea what that even means.

I don't, you know, watch. The Kennedy Center might become, might become. How do you change the name? First lady Melania Trump Opera House. As long as they don't you know watch Kennedy Center might become might become Lady Melania Trump opera house as long as they don't mess with the Apollo. I'm cool. I don't know All right, that's your front page news for 6 a.m. Stick around at 7 a.m We're talking more presidential stuff and of course that viral stop in Jacksonville has developed with that story so stick around.

Yeah, I got you introducing yourself for the first time. No, I know, I know. But no, because I wanted to talk about a serious topic. Okay. I want to touch on the topic from yesterday where the black boy got punched in the face by the cops. We have to teach our kids to just do what they say so we can get home.

I get it. He probably didn't have no reason to do what he did, but you still have to listen because you have to get home to your family. Listen, there's two people I don't play with and that's the cops and that's the judge. I'll talk my issue to anybody else, but when it comes to them, listen,

I just do what they say, don't give them a reason because they wanna get rid of us anyway. Don't give them no reason. Well, you know, that's such an interesting story because I truly feel like the cop had no reason, no justifiable reason to punch that young man But when you watch the whole video and realize the kid was driving with a suspended license, I agree with you There was no reason for that guy to you know be acting like that with that cop knowing your license is Remember we're black. We just can't talk to them the way our Caucasian cousin told them

Listen, they can shoot up schools and get away with everything we get shot for having skins for the hoodie on So we gotta just do better We're just doing what they say listen the end goal is to get home Listen if y'all want me to walk from top of the top of the top top cause I'm stupid We just gotta show them a little bit more respect even though they looking up like damn Yeah you know Lazy like It. You know what I'm saying? It's funny that you said that, right? You just gotta get home to your family.

My dad, you know who's a retired police officer, NYPD retired, you know, I used to get pulled over a lot all through New York City. And I used to be very argumentative with the police. Very, very argumentative. Dominican white man. No, you can't do that. Hold on, hold on. But my dad would yell at me all the time and his whole thing was you gotta make it home

Yeah, he said you make it home. We could fight He says but if you if you don't make it home, we have a whole nother problem Yeah, he was like you gotta make it home And that's what I tell my kids now as well make it home make it home first And that ain't be a sucker that ain't be the soft that's that's making it home to your family My dad would tell me that all the time. I didn't listen cuz I would argue still but You're black. They look at you just like they look at Charlamagne. No they don't! Yes they do. I'm way blacker. Look at me. No I did it. I did it Charlamagne.

Like, you know what you're talking about back in the day, Stacy. Get it off your chest, 800-585-1051. Now we got the latest with Lauren coming up. What are we talking about, Lauren? Yes, we do, y'all. Cardi B is being sued and y'all will not.

No, usually she do the suing. Listen, she is being sued and y'all won't believe who and what she is being sued about. Oh wow. Alright, we'll get to that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

Morning everybody, it's DJ, Envy, Jess, Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to the latest with Lauren. Lauren be coming with straight facts. She gets them from somebody that knows somebody. I'm the homegirl that knowsi B struck her sued for assault battery by a woman who alleges that Cardi B struck her with a microphone. So you guys remember, it was some years ago, it was back in 2023, when Cardi B was on the

stage in Vegas and there was water thrown at her and she threw the microphone. It was ice, that was ice. It was water, but it was ice that they threw her. Well, they threw something at Cardi and she responded and threw the microphone back. And because of that, we are now sitting and facing this lawsuit in 2025 where Cardi is. So she is being accused, Cardi B, of assault and battery by Jane Doe, who alleges that the microphone was thrown at her during that day party. And she says that this happened after she alleges Cardi B asked people in the crowd

to throw water at her. And she says that this individual, when she threw the water at Cardi B asked people in the crowd to throw water at her and she says that this individual when she threw the water at Cardi as well as other people did she's like I did it but there were other people in the audience who did it as well that Cardi B responded in a way that harmed her. So now there's an attorney her name is Sierra N. Norris who is representing this Jane Doe and they're actually holding a press conference today in Vegas to talk about this. Now this video you guys're actually holding a press conference today in Vegas to talk about this. Now this video, you guys remember, circulated a bit, but when I received the filing, the

lawsuit, one of the things I asked Sierra Norris was, you know, it's two years later, almost like right now. And what I was told is that they wanted to wait until the client was comfortable, and it took some time for the victim to be ready to proceed with litigation. But yeah, I thought that it was- I mean, when somebody that rich hits you with a microphone, you're gonna be hurt for the next two, three years, okay? I'm sure-

So, Artifel has still been on the ground, right? Right, yeah. I'm sure Carl, he was coming. I think she knew that one was coming. Absolutely, I mean, like that's one, you can't, you gotta eat that one. Yeah. You gotta eat that one.

She knew that one was coming. But why not sue the day after? I mean, I was unconscious. I didn't wake up for four days. I hear you, but. You do know when you sue somebody like that, you have to go through the procedures. Like if you get a car accident,

you have to go to the doctor. You have to go to physical rehab. You have to pad your case a little bit. And if you're doing it right, you gotta get a lawyer to take the case. A lot of these people be filing on their own. You know what I'm saying? I'm sure the lawyer, did they do diligence, watch the video, all of that stuff like that. And was like're doing it right you got to get a lawyer to take the case. A lot of these people be filing on their own you know. So I'm sure the lawyer did they do diligence, watched the video all of that stuff like that. It was like okay we got something here. Two years ago. I'm sure

you'll see the young lady went to some type of therapy, some type of physical therapy. I've been going to therapy for the last two years. Yeah you'll see. Okay emotional trauma, mental distress. Okay I have seizures in the middle of the night for no reason. Seizures. Not seizures. That's right. I better help her. Whenever I blow that yellow come reason. Seizures. That's right. I better help her. Whenever I bought that yellow, come on. I just start shaking. Oh my goodness. Y'all giving her a lot of help.

I love this. This is crazy. Well, back when this incident happened, the microphone was actually sold for $99,000. It was sold shortly after the incident and Jane Doe was actually claiming that this exacerbated her and caused emotional distress. Exactly. That the microphone was so...

Yes. Now the owner of Wave World, which was the venue at the time, had released a statement saying that the money was going toward two charities, the Wounded Warrior Project and a local Vegas charity, Friendship Circle Las Vegas. But yes. That lady said, that Jane Doe said, speak in the wounded, okay? All right, look at my forehead. All right, like that's just one you gotta eat.

I'm sure they'll settle it out. Yeah, when you make a decision like that, when you make a choice like that, to throw the microphone in the crowd and hit somebody, you just gotta deal with the consequences. How much you suing for? Right now, there is no numbers, but she is suing for damages.

So sometimes they'll just keep it open like that and then sometimes you'll get to a number but most of the time you bring a lawsuit like this you don't announce a number because... My Uncle Chris is definitely somebody worth talking about. He was the kind of guy that used Confederate flags as window curtains, lived in a trailer with an ex-con and a retired stripper, left loaded machine guns laying around, drank a bottle of whiskey a night, claimed he could kill a man with his bare hands, drove a garbage truck for a living, spoke fluent Spanish with a thick southern accent, and is currently buried in a crypt

alongside the founding families of Panama. Listen to the Uncle Chris podcast to hear all about him and a whole lot more. This collection of stories will make you laugh, it'll make you cry, and if I do my job right, they'll let you see the world and your place in it in a whole new way. I can't wait to tell you all about Uncle Chris. Listen now to Uncle Chris on Will Ferrell's Big Money Players Network on the iHeartRadio app,

Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts. Kelly Harnett spent over a decade in prison for a murder she says she didn't commit. I'm 100% innocent. While behind bars, she learned the law from scratch. Because oh God, Harnett, jailhouse lawyer. And as she fought for herself, she also became a lifeline for the women locked up alongside her. You're supposed to have faith in God, but I had nothing but faith in her.

So many of these women had lived the same stories. I said, were you a victim of domestic violence? And she was like, yeah. But maybe Kelly could change the ending. I said, how many people have gotten other incarcerated individuals out of here? I'm going to be the first one to do that. This is the story of Kelly Harnett, a woman who spent 12 years fighting not just for her own freedom, but her girlfriends too.

I think I have a mission from God to save souls by getting people out of prison. The Girlfriends, Jailhouse Lawyer. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. So, what happened at Chappaquiddick? Well, it really depends on who you talk to. There are many versions of what happened in 1969 when a young Ted Kennedy drove a car into a pond. And left a woman behind to drown.

There's a famous headline, I think, in the New York Daily News. It's Teddy escapes, blonde drowns. And in a strange way, right, that sort of tells you. The story really became about Ted's political future, Ted's political hopes. Will Ted become president? Chappaquiddick is a story of a tragic death

and how the Kennedy machine took control. And he's not the only Kennedy to survive a scandal. The Kennedys have lived through disgrace, affairs, violence, you name it. So is there a curse? Every week we go behind the headlines and beyond the drama of America's royal family. Listen to United States of Kennedy on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The summer of 1993 was one of the best of my life.

I'm journalist Jeff Perlman, and this is Rick Jervis. We were interns at the Nashville Tennessean, but the most unforgettable part, our roommate, Reggie Payne, from Oakley, sports editor and aspiring rapper. And his stage name, Sexy Sweat. In 2020, I had a simple idea. Let's find Reggie. We searched everywhere, but Reggie was gone. In February 2020, Reggie was having a diabetic episode.

His mom called 911. Police cuffed him face down. He slipped into a coma and died. I'm like thanking you. But then I see my son's not moving. No headlines, no outrage, just silence. So we started digging and uncovered city officials bent on protecting their own. Listen to Finding Sexy Sweat on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Because you want to see where you can fall negotiation wise.

Remember when Fat Joe told us that there was a time people just used to walk in front of him and fall? Yeah. Because they knew that they could sue and get some money. He said literally people just walk in front of him and fall. Because like he was going to step on him and hurt them or what? Because they'll say that Fat Joe hit him or fat Joe ran into him and wow That's what happened. That's the price of being who you are. Yes, and I was gonna try to get stepped on by him though

You know because of course this was in his bigger days I would try to get stepped on I just fall in front of somebody that's crazy I'm not gonna be no more. Get no more. We're back in the day. Imagine I'm stepping on you. I was gonna say to your question about how much with the lawsuit, because they're having a press conference today, maybe you might hear a number

if there's been some conversations. But I also wanted to mention before we close out Cardi B that back when this incident happened, Cardi was investigated by police to see if this could be like an actual crime and they didn't move forward with anything. She was not charged with this incident. Or not she gonna show up to the press conference.

Is she gonna show up still bandaged? For life. Oh I thought you was talking about Cardi. No, no, no. I'm talking about the victim. Not from two years now. You never know man. Two years bro.

You never know. Probably eye patch. Yeah, you never know. Bandage, love. I've been legally blind for two years. I go in and out. Crazy. Yeah.

Let's just commend Shorty's aim. I'm talking about Carty's aim is crazy well maybe not commended right now she yes well moving on and more New York news so remember we talked about Jay-Z going after the bid for the casino in New York well yesterday there was a meeting there was a committee meeting that took place yesterday. This was the first committee advisory committee first community advisory committee meeting where Jay-Z was present. So Jay-Z's Roc Nation company decided to partner with SL Green and Caesars Entertainment for the Caesars Palace Times Square casino. So yesterday in that meeting Jay- Z actually made a few comments.

He talked about trying to reserve himself. He says that this is a very good idea. He said that it is very good alignment for us to fulfill the promise to Times Square. He also added that his proposal is not coming to compete with Broadway. There have been some conversation about will it take business away from Broadway with Broadway already struggling or not. He says that they're not going to be competing with Broadway. They actually want to add business and add things. But yesterday was their first move in placing their bid on the casino. Yeah, I don't see how, you know, people do not want the casino in the middle of

Times Square right there at 1515. I mean, all it's going to do is increase, you know, tourism and increase the amount of bodies that go down to Times Square, which should lift up everything Yeah, the only thing I see is is they say traffic right? But a lot more but with congestion prices it calmed down the traffic a lot But I don't see it nothing doing anything but helping broad exactly because if more tourists come in town it gives you things to do Yeah, you can do the you know Broadway you can do the casino there'll be shows there there'll be comedy shows there'll be you know stuff to do in

Broadway and then you know you go over to the other side and go to the American Dream all and go rollercoaster riding with your kids so there's gonna be a lot to do I think it's gonna bring more people to the area which I think is a good thing for a borough away is suffering so bad I agree and yesterday they said he said in that meeting that 0.5% of all of the revenue is gonna go to Man Manhattan Plaza forever Yeah in perpetuity. I don't think I'll man. I think that's great. I think it is too I mean anytime you could do something like that where it's like continued in and it's gonna like keep

Like it's gonna keep circling back around to the people it's a good thing But to have a person from New York like Jay-Z be at the helm of it, I think people don't understand how big that is. It's projected to drive nearly $900 million in annual neighborhood spending for that whole area. Like, and New York needs that. Like, New York hasn't had an upgrade in so goddamn long. I be thinking New York need to look like Dubai.

At least Charlotte. Nah, it's shit. You know what I mean? At least Dallas. New York looks disgusting. You know what I mean? At least Dallas. You know what I mean? At least downtown Chicago. You know what I mean?

At least downtown Chicago. You know what I mean? At least downtown Chicago. You know what I mean? At least downtown Chicago. You know what I mean? At least downtown Chicago. You know what I mean?

At least downtown Chicago. You know what I mean? At least downtown Chicago. You know what I mean? At least downtown Chicago. You know what I mean? At least downtown Chicago. You know what I mean?

I don't even know what you're talking about. Can we just end it on Jay-Z? You know I'm talking about the lawsuit with Jay-Z and the potential son, not potential son, whatever. Oh, the son, the guy.

I know, you wore it yesterday. Alright, let's get some front page news when we come back. We gonna play PSA, allow me to introduce myself as as a breakfast local morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Morning everybody is DJ, Envy, Jess, Hilarious, Charlamagne, the guy we are the Breakfast Club. Let's get back to some front page news. What's up Morgan? Hey, hey, so President Trump wants America to be the world leader in AI. Trump addressed a summit in Washington, D.C. yesterday where he unveiled his AI action plan for the U.S.

Now, the plan has three main parts, accelerating innovation, building out AI infrastructure and making American hardware and software the standard AI platform. Let's take a listen to President Trump's comments regarding AI. Whether we like it or not, we're suddenly engaged in a fast-paced competition to build and define this groundbreaking technology that will determine so much about the future of civilization itself. So Trump also wants to cut down on regulatory red tape when it comes to building energy

plants to power and growing technology. So yeah, see where we stand when it comes to artificial intelligence. Elsewhere in news, the man who pled guilty to killing four University of Idaho students in 2022 has been sentenced to four life prison sentences, with no possibility of parole as part of the plea deal. Brian Coburger sat in court yesterday as Judge Stephen Hipler read the sentence for the death of one of the victims, adding the families are allowed to grieve how they see fit. Let's take a listen to Judge Stephen Hipler's comments and the reading of that sentence. For first degree murder of Kayleigh Goncalves, I sentenced the defendant to a fixed term

of life imprisonment without the possibility of parole. Yet even if I could force him to speak, which legally I cannot, how could anyone ever be assured that what he speaks is the truth? None of us have experienced the loss these victims have in the unspeakable way that they have. And therefore, none of us can or should we question the way in which they have handled their loss. So the sentence was the same for the other three victims. Family members and friends gave emotional impact statements in court yesterday. Now, Coburger admitted to killing

to the killings, which drew nationwide attention in a plea deal to avoid the death penalty. As part of the deal, he was not required to explain his motive for the crimes. Now the White House has weighed in as well and press secretary Caroline Levitt said the country mourns the lives of the four Idaho students, Coburger killed and praised for the families. Let's take a listen to press secretary Caroline Levitt on this. We are so sorry for the grief and the pain you have experienced at the hands of such a vicious and evil killer. If it were up to the president, he would have forced this monster

to publicly explain why he chose to steal these innocent souls. Yeah, it was horrible, man. One of the family members stood up and told him the only thing you failed more miserably at than being a murderer is trying to be a rapper. Really? Yeah, I didn't understand that one. I mean, I didn't get it, but they were visibly mad. I guess you was just trying to, you know, hurt them. That's why I be thinking sometimes they should let these family members, man, get their licks off, man. Physically.

Yeah, man. Let it, like, why not? Like, let them get their licks off. All of them, that one dude in the room with all of them, any family member they want to bring, and they get five minutes. Get closure. That's their way of closure.

Cause he absolutely deserved that sentence. I just wonder if the justice system be knowing something we don't know. Like, you know, you get four life sentences cause they know you going to, you gotta go to prison in your afterlife too. You know what I mean? Goodness.

Yeah. The victim's sister, Kaylee Cunclaviz, excuse me. She definitely had a read for the suspect for sure. Elsewhere in news, more on the viral traffic stop out of Jacksonville, Florida, civil rights attorney Ben Crump is applauding William McNeil for taking a punch while exercising his constitutional right to ask why he was being pulled over and why he was being asked to step out of the car. Now, Crump demanded answers and has a message for Jacksonville's sheriff.

McNeil says he was just asking why he was getting pulled over and asked why he was being asked to step out the car. Now, Crump and McNeil held a press conference recently about the incident. Let's take a listen to their comments in part. What he exhibited was a 21st century Rosa Parks moment. This was a classic case of driving while black. To the sheriff, you can't justify this. You can't condone this.

You have to condemn this. That day I just really wanted to know why I was getting pulled over and I know I didn't do nothing wrong. So McNeil's legal team wants accountability and the deputy to be fired. Earlier this week while releasing body camera video, Jacksonville Sheriff TK Waters said an administrative investigation is ongoing so he won't defend or commend the officer's actions but noted McNeil was not complying with deputies. He added the state's attorney's office has determined officers did not violate the law. McNeil pleaded guilty to resisting an officer and driving with a suspended license.

Yeah, I mean, once again, that cop had no business, you know, punching that young man in the face. But I do want to hear more from Ben Crump on this because, you know, like I said, I agree with him that the cop is absolutely wrong for punching that man escalating into that. But that man also knew he didn't have a license. And the cops told the guy why he pulled him over. I just feel like the young man was,

to know he didn't have a license, the young man was acting, he was acting out of it. But I guess Ben Crump is also saying, he's a black man in a car who didn't have a lights on. Do people get pulled over for that? I guess that's what he was saying. But you can get pulled over for not having a seatbelt, I have before. You can get pulled over for not having a seatbelt I had before you can get pulled over for not having your lights on.

Absolutely. I guess that's his whole thing like everything all the traffic violations we see day in and day out he got pulled over for not having his lights on. I just wish the brother would have been like look I don't have a license you know I wish he'd have did that instead of you know reacting the way that he did even though nothing Justifies him getting punched in the face. Nothing at all, but I know that eventually that's gonna come up They're gonna use all of that against him anytime you get pulled over they ask for your license I don't even once they pull you over they want to know who they're talking to they're gonna ask for your license and You know, it's just a sad situation. They're gonna use the fact. He didn't comply. They're gonna say that he resisted

They're gonna say, you know, he had a license suspended. But they're going to say he had weed in his pocket. But none of that is a justification of why he got, you know, punched in the face. I agree. Yeah. Well, that's your front page news. You guys can follow me. I'm Morgan Woods.

Y'all can follow me on socials at Morgan Media. For more news coverage, follow at Black Information Network. Download the free iHeartRadio app and visit us at BINnews.com thank you so much. Alright thank you Morgan now when we come back former unit when we come back former United States Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg will be joining us and we're gonna talk to him next is the Breakfast Club good morning. The Breakfast Club Good morning everybody it's DJ NV Jess Hilarion, Shalamine Nagai, we are The Breakfast Club,

we got a special guest in the building. Yes indeed. It's back Pete Buttigieg, welcome back. Morning. Now you got out the White House and got a beard immediately, or did you have that beard last time? No, you know, there were very few days that I didn't have to shave the whole time that I was in office.

And then suddenly I didn't have to worry about that. So I started out just not shaving every day. And then we went on a vacation. I came back with a beard. I thought, I'm going to keep this for a while. Chastain's very, very pro. My daughter doesn't like it. She keeps telling me to shave it because she

says it's too scratchy when I kiss her good night. But her brother hasn't weighed in yet, so he might be the swing vote in the household. He's the swing vote? Now do they make you, do they tell you look clean when you work for the White House? Because you're on television, do they say that? I don't think they have to. You just, you know, you're just, I don't think I was ever told to shave.

Not since I was in the military anyway, but then it was a thing. You know, I saw you on the Flaker podcast with my guy Andrew Schultz. I didn't know that you had mixed-race kids. I don't know why I didn't know that. Yeah, you know, we don't put a lot of pictures of them on the internet or, you know, there's a lot of privacy obviously goes into that. But yeah, they're about to turn four.

They keep at like every day, they ask me, is it my birthday? They've just transformed our lives in so many ways. It's been amazing. And I saw you say, you know, you ask yourself constantly, how can I be a good dad for kids who have a different racial identity than I do? How can I help them navigate that? And for whatever reason,

there was a little bit of backlash to those comments and I don't know why. It's crazy. I thought those were great questions to ask yourself. I mean, you know, I was just talking about how I feel about it. And yeah, I think anytime you talk about something that sensitive, somebody's ready to pounce, somebody's ready to pick it apart and tear you up over it.

But yeah, obviously, you know, we're white, our kids are mixed race, they're going to be as they grow older, there's going to be dimensions of their lives that I will do everything I can as a father as a loving, to make sure that they succeed. But there will be parts of their lives that I can't really draw on personal experience to help guide them through. And so it's a lot of making sure that they have mentors and role models, other examples in their lives to help them navigate all of that. But it's just been such a blessing and it's a new challenge every day, but it's the best, hardest thing in my life. Who are some of those people?

Who are the black friends you call? The advice that came in from the first moment, I had a Navy buddy who saw a couple of pictures of them from a thing we were at the White House on. It said, we've got to talk about hair. And immediately wanted to make sure that, because you, I mean, just hair products alone. And by the way, being a girl dad was intimidating to begin with. And then there's everything that comes with that, finding the right products for Gus, our little guy, for Penelope, our daughter, learning all of that. Like, you know, nobody in my immediate family

of white relatives knows a lot about that, but lots of friends do. You don't know how to breed? I got you. I gotta figure it out. Canto, olive oil, shea moisture, and then get the white tooth comb. Don't get the small teeth comb

because that's gonna pull a hair out because we got thicker hair. Yep, we learned that the hard way. Yeah, the canto, and then we got the Young King for him. It's like a three step sequence. It's the leave-in conditioner, then you got the oils, right? Yes, leave-in is good. And then there's the essential oil,

and then there's the curling cream. Although by step three, now he's a little older, but he was really fighting us on the third step. You learnin' though, you learnin' Pete. So Pete. Now we gotta get Pete some money. I do not want you or your husband playing in him sh learnin' Pete. So Pete. Now we gotta get Pete some money. I do not want you or your husband playin' in him churnin' hair.

So Pete. So you do her hair every day? Yeah, well, Cheston does it more often than I do. Let me be honest. Because I know I can't do my daughter's hair. I know Charlamagne can't do his daughter's hair. Can you Charlamagne? Hell no, he ain't got no damn hair.

I don't know if Justin can, I need to see the hair first. Round of applause, I don't know what the hell it look like yet. You're right, you're right. You're right. Jesus. But I love it though. I was gonna say,'t know what the hell it look like. You're right. You're right. Jesus. I love it though. I was going to say before you walked in, it's funny. Jess was like, so what is Pete doing now?

And I was like, that is a good question. What is Pete doing now that you're out the White House besides being a dad and a husband? So what are you doing now? So being a dad and husband is number one. And it's the first time in a while that I've been able to put the kind of time in it that I want to. This is the first time in 15 years that I haven't either been in office or on the ballot and I'm making the most of that. But this is obviously not a time in the life of our country where you can just sit still or kind of hang out and not be involved. So I'm

speaking out, continuing to go on podcasts, go on TV, write. I've got a sub stack where I'm writing thoughts on some of the issues that are coming up, thinking about doing a book. So keeping busy, but I have to say, at a personal level, it's been good not to be on that treadmill. Washington just has a way. You don't miss it at all? I'm not saying I don't,

I miss the impact we were able to have. I miss getting up in the morning and knowing that, you know, I could make a decision that could make a whole city better off Through a transportation project we were doing or something like that. I miss that but I don't miss the negativity I don't miss the the way that Washington is so inward-looking. It's always about You know, what did this senator have for breakfast?

What are you gonna do to keep these people happy that most people have never even heard of? But that kind of thing, I don't miss. Why do you think it was so much backlash for you going on the Flaygrim podcast? Well, in a way, it's reliving what it was like a few years ago when I started to go on Fox News a lot. So a lot of people in my party said, you can't do that. You're participating in this right-wing system. That's, you know, uh, the, that's not giving people good information. And my response was always, uh, you know, I can't blame somebody for not agreeing with my positions if they've never heard them. So of course I got to go on right wing media. Now you fast forward a few years to these

podcasts and flagrant, by the way, I don't consider flagrant to be right wing. But that's the whole point, right? A lot of these podcasts, a lot of these shows, they're not for people who are looking to get politics in their face all the time, but they are where a lot of people get their information or get exposed to people with political ideas. And I thought, okay, if President Trump was going on this show to reach listeners and viewers, why wouldn't we be putting forward a different set of ideas? Especially because when I got there and I was talking to these guys, many of whom voted a different way than I did, we agreed a lot on what was happening next on the problem with

tilting the tax code to favor the rich. And that was before the bill passed. Now the bill passed and we know it, we've seen it. Problems with cutting services, making it harder to get your phone call answered on social security, all of these things, right? So we can just have a conversation. And yeah, I think some people still, you know, I remember a few people saying like, why are you platforming these guys who have said something offensive? And I'm just thinking like, they're platforming me, it's their show. It's the stupidest thing when people say how you platform how you they

already have a huge platform so why not go on there and you know let people hear what it is you have to say give people another you know option. But yeah especially because fewer and fewer people are getting their news from traditional sources. I spent part of the spring teaching at the University of Chicago there's an Institute of Politics there that David Axelrod set up. He asked me to spend time with the students there. I think I came right after you. Oh, were you there? I think I came right after you, they said. Did you have a good time? Oh, I loved it. I think it's a great experience and you learn so much talking to these students. One of

the things I would often do is to kind of show hands, just where to get your information. The number of students who said television news was zero. Like literally zero out of those students. Said they just like sat the way I was when I was growing up or still do sometimes, like turn on a TV show and watch it. They might see something from TV, go into their feed, get clipped, but in terms of where people are getting our information,

we gotta find people where they are. We're still kicking in with Pete Buttigieg, former United States Secretary of Transportation. I wanted to ask about the airports. It seemed like the airports got a lot worse. Why do you think that is? Or are we just hearing about it more and these are the problems that have been having for the last 10, 20 years? Well, I read an article yesterday.

They blamed it on you, Pete. Of course they did. They said that under you the Department of Transportation allocated over 80 billion dollars for DEI grants. Okay. Instead of putting money into the actual airlines. Yeah. Airports. Obviously I think that's bullsh**. Let's break it down. First of all quote-unquote DEI grants. We're talking about transportation funding that they're now getting rid of. So Milwaukee, 6th Street, we funded a project, $34 million, to help make a set of improvements

to a very dangerous street where there have been a lot of crashes and that has divided the community. We provided funding. They're also going to divided the community. We've provided funding. They're also gonna improve the sewer while they're at it. I mean, this is bread and butter stuff that's gonna make the city better off. Trump administration killed that grant because the application talked about equity.

It talked about one of the reasons for funding this project being that that neighborhood had been under-invested in. There was a project in Missoula, Montana, connecting East Missoula across Highway 200. By the way, the Republican Senator from Montana supported that project and wrote me a letter saying we ought to fund it, and we did. This administration killed it just because it was part

of a program that mentions equity. So when they talk about quote unquote DEI grants, often they're talking about fixing roads and bridges that happen to go into a black neighborhood or a low income area. Meanwhile, we'll talk about aviation. I'm pretty sure I'm the first secretary of transportation in 30 years or more to have the air traffic control workforce growing instead of shrinking on his watch. And that was hard because we've been losing air traffic controllers. They've been retiring.

It's just been hard to get as many to come in as we're going out. I don't know whether that number is still going up. Now I know that, uh, from the beginning, they all got an email saying, you should think about taking a buyout and quit your job. Then they, they were told that email was never for them. So I don't know exactly what's going on over there now. What I know is that we left the air traffic control system better than we found it, but it's still got a lot of problems.

So the answer to your question is really it's both. There are new problems that we're seeing, that I'm seeing just as a now regular member of the traveling public. But there are some issues that have been in the making for 10, 20, 30 years. We did what we could to improve it, but honestly my successor who I obviously disagree with on lots of things, I want him to succeed on this. I mean for one thing I fly a lot but also for the sake of the country. I want them to succeed in improving that. Well it seems like a lot of the problems that

we've been having, especially when we see these floods and these storms, are problems that we keep seeing, right? You know, you look at areas in Texas or even New Jersey, they flood the same every time. So it's just like, why can't we fix those problems? It's not like it's a new problem. These are problems that are reoccurring. So what we did was we set up funding to do things like take a road that's getting washed out every year and instead of putting it back the exact same every time and putting a bunch of money into that, move it to where it's not going to be as vulnerable.

They're going after that kind of thing too because they're systematically deleting any reference to climate change or sustainability from anything in the government. And what that means is I think these projects are in danger. The magic was the $80 billion that was allocated, they said 400 awards from 2021 to 2024. What did that actually go to? Cause they're calling it DEI grants, but where did it go?

What did it go to? Yeah, so I don't know how they got the 80 billion number. What I can tell you, I mean, maybe if you're counting like any project that was connected in any way to taking care of people who had been under-invested in, that'd be one way to do it. We had this whole idea of making sure that a good share of the grant money went to neighborhoods or communities that were cut out in the past.

But again, there are these specific projects. East Toledo, we had a project to connect East Toledo to downtown Toledo, get people across this high crash corridor where they were having dozens of crashes. And it came under the heading of reconnecting communities or reconnecting neighborhoods, which this administration considers woke. So they're trying to cut it. To me, it's definitely important that it's going to a disadvantaged area. It's also just a good project. It's a good safety project.

So they want to call it DEI, I would call it good policy. And this war on anything. My Uncle Chris is definitely somebody worth talking about. He was the kind of guy that lived in a trailer with an ex-con and a retired stripper, left loaded machine guns laying around, drank a bottle of whiskey a night, claimed he could kill a man with his bare hands, drove a garbage truck for a living, spoke fluent Spanish with a thick southern accent, and is currently buried in a crypt alongside the founding families of Panama.

Listen to the Uncle Chris podcast to hear all about him and a whole lot more. Wild stories about adventure, romance, crime, history, and war intertwine as I share the tall tales and hard truths that have helped me understand Uncle Chris. This collection of stories will make you laugh, it'll make you cry, and if I do my job right, they'll let you see the world and your place in it

in a whole new way. I can't wait to tell you all about Uncle Chris. Listen now to Uncle Chris on Will Ferrell's Big Money Players Network on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts. Kelly Harnett spent over a decade in prison for a murder she says she didn't commit. I'm 100% innocent.

While behind bars, she learned the law from scratch. Because oh God, Harnett, jailhouse lawyer. And as she fought for herself, she also became a lifeline for the women locked up alongside her. You're supposed to have faith in God, but I had nothing but faith in her. So many of these women had lived the same stories. I said, were you a victim of domestic violence? And she was like, yeah. But maybe Kelly could change the ending.

I said, how many people have gotten other incarcerated individuals out of here? I'm going to be the first one to do that. This is the story of Kelly Harnett, a woman who spent 12 years fighting not just for her own freedom, but her girlfriends too. I think I have a mission from God to save souls by getting people out of prison. The Girlfriends, Jailhouse Lawyer.

Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. So what happened at Chappaquiddick? Well, it really depends on who you talk to. There are many versions of what happened in 1969 when a young Ted Kennedy drove a car into a pond. And left a woman behind to drown. There's a famous headline, I think, in the New York Daily News. It's, Teddy escapes, blonde drowns. And in a strange way, right, that sort of tells you.

The story really became about Ted's political future, Ted's political hopes. Will Ted become president? Chappaquiddick is a story of a tragic death and how the Kennedy machine took control. And he's not the only Kennedy to survive a scandal. The Kennedys have lived through disgrace, affairs, violence, you name it. So is there a curse?

Every week we go behind the headlines and beyond the drama of America's royal family. Listen to United States of Kennedy on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts. The summer of 1993 was one of the best of my life. I'm journalist Jeff Perlman, and this is Rick Jervis. We were interns at the Nashville Tennessean, but the most unforgettable part? Our roommate, Reggie Payne, from Oakley, sports editor and aspiring rapper. And his

stage name? Sexy Sweat. In 2020, I had a simple idea. Let's find Reggie. We searched everywhere, but Reggie was gone. In February 2020, Reggie was having a diabetic episode. His mom called 911. Police cuffed him face down. He slipped into a coma and died. I'm like thanking you.

But then I see my son's not moving. No headlines, no outrage, just silence. So we started digging and uncovered city officials bent on protecting their own. Listen to Finding Sexy Sweat on the iHeart Radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. That has anything remotely to do with diversity, I think has gone to such an extreme. People are starting to feel it because it's starting to come for them. So how would you respond to people who have concerns that these equity initiatives delayed

urgent aviation upgrades? It's just not true. I mean you know the person who launched the contract for example to modernize the the tech backbone of the thing, that was me. We did that. It's a big agency. We did a lot of things. We did roads, we did bridges, we did aviation, we did ports. I mean you know you can do a lot of things at the same time. That's what we did. Now all of this is coming from the New York Post. It just came out yesterday, if I'm giving you a chance.

Oh, yeah. So that specific article, I can't believe I'm saying this, but I would actually say it's worth reading. Because if you read it, you'll see a bunch of anonymous people, mostly from the airline industry, complaining with no specific facts or figures, followed by a whole bunch of, which like the post does, they put it at the bottom of the article, a whole bunch of facts and figures showing something different, which was our response.

But yeah, obviously the airline industry was not a big fan of mine, right? Because I was a tough regulator. I mean, we moved the rule to make sure that you can get your money back if your flight gets significantly delayed. We had really tough penalties on airlines that were holding back on people's refunds. We pushed them on things like disability, making sure if they mangle your wheelchair

that they have to take care of you. The current administration froze that rule. That's something we pushed on. So obviously, you know, my replacement is an airline lobbyist, or he was an airline lobbyist. Obviously, the airline industry is happier with a new guy who was an airline lobbyist than with somebody like me who was a tough regulator. But that's the kind of inside baseball

that drives these articles. And I think it's very telling that none of the people who were throwing stones in that article actually put their name to their quote. So earlier this year when there was plane crashes and stuff, is there a part of you that's like, I hate to see that, but I told you so. Look, aviation's still safer than driving or any other form of transportation, but it's the nightmare scenario for anybody who cares about transportation, definitely anybody who

ever had the job I had, to have a plane crash happen in this country. One of the things that was really important to me was during my time in office, we had four billion emplacements, four billion times that somebody got onto a commercial passenger airline and zero crash fatalities. And it's everybody's job to keep that up. And I do worry about what'll happen if you got air traffic controllers who are being distracted by all this political nonsense,

getting an email telling them that they're gonna get bought out, then being told that doesn't apply to them. Like firing IT people like they did on day one. Of course I'm worried about that. We're still kicking in with former United States Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg. Charlemagne?

How do you feel about the Epstein-Fauce? I feel that Democrats should never stop talking about the Epstein-Fauce. I think it is the one thing that builds a bridge between Democrats and that MAGA base they've been trying to reach ever since Trump won re-election. I think that's right. Look, I think there's some folks who might say this is a distraction, or this isn't the bread and butter of what we care about. But what I would say is, or let's say you what you really care about is legislation, policy. That's your thing. You see all these headlines about Epstein, but you think to yourself, what I care about is how the Congress is dealing with healthcare, taxes, etc. Okay. Well, Congress just got shut down. The Republicans just shut down the United States House of Representatives for two months in order to avoid having to vote on Donald Trump blocking the Epstein files. So even if you don't give a s*** about the news story

or the sensationalism of it, this now affects you because one of your branches of government is not operational between now and September because Speaker Mike Johnson and the Republicans would rather shut that branch of government down than let the Epstein files come out. Let that sink in. It's also another example among many, many examples of Donald Trump saying he's going to do something on day one and then something very different happens, right? He said he's going to lower prices on day one.

Opposite happens. He's pushing him up with tariffs. Said he's going to bring peace to the Middle East on day one, get peace with Russia on day one. I don't know if anybody really took him seriously on that, but that's what he says. And then he says, day one, these Epstein files are going to come out.

Because at the time, it was in his interest to pretend that he was going to do that. And now it is in his interest to block those files coming out. And I don't think it's unreasonable to ask why. Why do you think the Biden administration never put him up? I don't know. I was not close to the DOJ or how any of that worked. I know a lot of stuff came out, but if there is really more, and I don't know, but they were waving around these binders at press conferences. Do you think it would be mutually assured destruction?

Could be. I mean, look, we already know that there were Democrats, Republicans, there are all kinds of people mixed up with this guy. I think most Americans say, okay, let the chips fall where they may. Like, we got to know. Yeah, right. Give rid of everybody, give rid of all of them. Anybody who's an abuser, anybody who's committed, like, of course, right? And it does feel like something in this moment where none of us can agree on much, that all of us can agree on that. And it's especially weird with Trump, right, because can agree on that. And it's especially weird with Trump, right, because it's not, it's not some wild liberal conspiracy claim that he was involved with Jeffrey Epstein. There's pictures, pictures still coming out now, after all these years. Not to mention the pictures and footage that were there years ago. And not just him like shaking hands, getting his picture taken with the guy,

but like ogling women with him, right? Like dancing with him, like grooving with him. Now he's finally just at his wedding. So obviously there's something there. It's not even arguable that there's something there. So I think you're right that we should be pounding on that, even if it's not a central policy priority of the party. What are your thoughts on former US President Obama saying that the Democrats need to toughen up, you know, and take action.

What do you think? Yeah, I think he's right. Although, that just reminds me of one other thing, right, which is the distraction machine. So Trump says we're going to release the files, we're going to release the files, we're going to release the files. Then he says we're not going to release the files. And people are mad, including Magus, saying, wait a minute, you said you were going to release this information and you're not.

And what does he do? He's like, we're going to arrest Obama. What? That has nothing to do with anything, but it's the distraction machine. But, but yeah, as, as to what president Obama actually said, look, we have to be a party that is not pulling punches, that is ready to, ready to call things out for what they are internally and externally. I think people want to know that somebody's fighting for them. At the same time, my personal theory of politics is you

don't have to be a d*** about it. And what I mean by that is that when I encounter people in actual real life who voted the other way, relatives or even somebody might come up and say hello in like an airport or something, I'm more likely to have somebody come up and say you know I'm from the other party but it's nice running into you then to you know come up and give me the finger or something like that why would that be because look we're humans and for the most part like don't want to in real life we're actually around each other we don't want it to be any uglier than it has to be. And yet you go online, you go on TV, you get into those spaces and it's different.

So I think the challenge for us is we should never back down from a good fight over what the right thing to do is and what the wrong thing to do is. But I think we can also demonstrate a way to do it that's actually inviting people into our coalition saying like, we want you and maybe you don't agree with us on 10% of the stuff or 30% of the stuff, or maybe you voted the other way last time. Like all the more reason we want you with us this time around. And we need to be inviting where I think people have viewed us as kind of frankly scolding. Like we're scolding people for not being up on the latest cultural developments or not being the right kind of progressive or whatever it is. That

has to change too. My biggest problem with Democrats is they, it's like everything they're saying now, you should have been saying two, three years ago. Like we've been saying that Democrats was cowards. So yeah, yes, y'all should have been toughened up. You know, Jake Tapper with the original sin and you'd read that book and you see everybody knew that Biden was too old to run, but nobody said anything. But now everybody wants to speak up.

His press secretary, Corinne Jean-Pierre, saying she's an independent now. And you know, I'm like, why weren't y'all saying this two, three years ago? All of these things that y'all are saying, we the people had been saying. We have to show a level of toughness in order to be just in order to be credible, I think, and in order to go up against these guys who obviously you can fault them for all kinds

of things, but they definitely project toughness. Right now, it's going to be harder to buy a house because Donald Trump just added to the deficit in order to get tax cuts for billionaires, and that means that interest rates are going to be higher. Right now, it is growing more difficult to get healthcare because premiums just went up because how Republicans changed the Obamacare substance. Like you don't have to be a policy buff for these things to hit you.

And by the way, I think all these things that have happened are small compared to what's about to happen. This AI development that's happening right now is not just something people should care about if they're interested in tech. This is not just like a nerdy fascination. This is going to affect how all of us, it already is, right? Maybe in useful ways, like you ask Chad GPT for anything.

But also in terms of jobs starting to dramatically change, right? This is a level, I mean, we lived through one version of this in the 90s when I was growing up in Indiana and trade and automation happened and it changed what was going on in the auto industry. I think that this will be 10 times or a hundred times more disruptive. And if Democrats are caught up in yesterday's culture war, or defending institutions that were getting pretty old, and trying to look like the protectors of a status quo that wasn't serving anybody well, instead of offering some kind of answers for

how you're supposed to make a living, and how you're supposed to fit into your community, when you've got technology changing everything, If we don't have answers on that, then we're definitely gonna be left behind. So what does the future of the party look like then? Like is it more Pete Buttigieg, or is it more Mondani? Is it more Josh Apparow, or is it more AOC? Like what does it look like? Look, we're always gonna be a big tent party.

I think my style is different from some of the others in the party. And that's fine. Like, we're each going to be putting forward the version, the message that's truest to who we are. I think that a younger generation of leaders, many of whom are politically moderate, some of them are politically pretty far left, what they have in common is they are who they are. You can feel it. You can just see it. That, I think, is the future of the party. Pete Buttigieg, ladies and gentlemen. So what's next for Pete Buttigieg? What do you have your eyes on?

He's running for president in 2028. Come on. 2028. Stop. Cut it off. It's 2025. You got to give me at least one year to not be running for anything and not be in office so I can drop the kids off at school and be a human being and then we'll figure it out. But what I am definitely doing now and going to keep doing is speak out about this stuff and try to show versus tell a way of fighting for what's right that I think our party would benefit from. I think you're polling at what 13% right now? Depends who's polling look at but

yeah. Do you keep you look at stuff like that? That was crazy. I try not to look at that too much. Yeah. Yeah. You shouldn't look at other polls Pete you're pulling that 13% that's a pretty good number. I try not to look at that too much. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, it's not that. Gotcha. You should look at other polls, Pete you're married. First of all, pause the game man.

Just chill out bro. Shut up. He said it. It's beautiful. Pete's like, I don't know why I keep coming back here. I don't know why. He's like, I don't know why. We appreciate it whenever you come, Pete.

I tell you this all the time, man, but you know, you never stop talking to our audience and that means something you know because I feel like Politicians only come around when they want something they only come around when it's a campaign season the fact that you come and just you know Keep us abreast of what's going on all the time. We I truly do appreciate it That's right. Don't forget those hair steps because I want to see if it works Yeah, we should talk after this actually have a couple questions. All right, it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. All right Let's get to the latest with Lauren little bit about everything. She 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 of everything. Who is the latest? On The Breakfast Club. Talk to me. So Candace Owens is being sued by French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte. What?

Yes. They are suing her for defamation in the US because Candace Owens claimed that Brigitte is a man. Oh my god. Yes. So the defamation lawsuit was filed in a Delaware state court and it stems from several different content videos that Candace Owens created. She's done a series on Brigitte talking, it's called The Making of Brigitte.

She's becoming Brigitte. It was a multi-part series, but there was also a YouTube video that directly addressed these claims of Brigitte not being a woman. But let's take a listen to some of Candace Owen's content. Let's take a listen to her on Brigitte Macron. It is time for you to wake up. So we will start from the top here with a photo of Brigitte Macron.

Real name Jean-Michel Trogneau. That person that you are looking at on the right is not a woman, okay? Here is a photo by the way. Just over the years, Jean-Michel Trogneau, as he became Brigitte, as I said, the evidence for this is overwhelming. That second photo I

believe they found a photo of him at a pride parade when he was just living as a homosexual man that next photo is when the transition began if I recall correctly and that's a photo from the professor years and the professor years of Brigitte Marcon is when he such to early Emanuel Macron That's truly Emmanuel Macron. Candace Owens and Jessi Larris are gonna tell people who's not a woman. What? What happened? Don't play with me. Let me see this woman that they talking about.

I think this lady, I think she said three children. Now. Okay. So listen, this video that we just took a listen to from Candace Owens was called the Olympics exposed Brigitte Macron. It was episode 34. Candace Owens posted this on July 29th, 2024. Now, Tom Clare is the attorney for the French president

and his wife, and he was on CNN last night because a lot of people are wondering, number one, why would you wait? Because they've been saying that this has been a year long like broadcast, Tyreed, that Candice Owen has been on regurgitating these claims that were online. I just want the record to show I've seen stronger faces.

Yeah, that's what I wanted to see too. I've definitely seen stronger faces. I've seen stronger faces. Oh my, yeah. Go ahead. Well, let's take a listen to Tom on CNN last night talking about why they chose the file now after a year. Why are the McCrone's suing now?

Well, this was really a last resort. We have attempted to engage with her for the last year, putting evidence in front of her, request after request after request, that she just simply do the right thing. This is not a legal thing. Do the right thing, tell the truth, stop spreading these lies. And each time we've done that, she mocked the Macron's, she mocked our efforts to set the record straight, she refused to retract what she had said, she started a merch campaign, she's selling t-shirts mocking and celebrating her defamation of them, and enough is enough.

It was time to hold her accountable for this campaign. What was the proof they put in Candace's face though? Like how do you prove? First of all, you shouldn't have to prove that, but how do you prove it? I'm not exactly for sure what all of the proof is, but in the lawsuit, according to a statement from the attorney, when they made the demands for Candace Owens to retract her statements, they accompanied it by evidence disproving her allegations, improving, among other things, that Mrs. Macron was born a woman named Brigitte, that she is not a blood relative of President

Macron. Yeah. So Candace basically dug her own grave because your feelings are not facts. I don't know why people don't understand that in this era that we in. And I also hate when people say, why are you suing now? Sometimes you just let people keep digging their own grave. Well Candace Owens responded to the lawsuit. Let's take a listen to her response.

Are you floored? Because this is just goofy. You are officially a very goofy man, Brigitte, but I got to give it to you. You've definitely got fire. Everybody around you. And I mean literally everyone around you who told you that this was a good idea, that this was a very good idea for you to be the first sitting first lady of a country to file a lawsuit against a journalist of another country. You are literally making history in all

the wrong ways. And I want to be very clear here right at the top that this is obvious, very clear that it is an obvious and desperate public relations strategy. That's what this is. I mean, it's not a bad idea. I mean, you have to be responsible for your words and we all know free speech, not free. So I mean, it's hard for me to believe Candace didn't expect some type of content. Yeah, you can't lie on people, right? When you start lying on people and saying things like it's factual, you're going to get sued and you're going to get touched. And I think you should get sued.

Even if that's what you think, like yeah your opinion of her you know being a man that's not it's not facts. Listen I remember an episode of Cosby show where remember he had the kids Olivia was having a sleepover right and it was a kid on there right and everybody thought that this kid was a little boy but that little kid was Alicia Keys. So it's like you can't you know what I'm saying? What are you talking about? Alicia Keys played in the episode of Cosby Show. The crazy part is I know exactly what you're talking about but I have no idea what that got to do with this.

Because! She's trying to say don't dis-infer. I can tell her what I'm trying to say because he act like he don't know what I'm trying to say. You just held up that picture and said, I've seen stronger faces. Yeah, she does, you know, resemble a little boy when she was when she was younger. But I'm saying she a woman. Alicia Keys resembled a little boy in that episode. She grew up to be a beautiful woman. Okay, gotcha.

Because she was a girl from the job. Some of us look like little boys when we little we grow up and you know, some of us look like grown men, but still we are women at the end of the day. You know I mean Yeah, so sick of you trying to tell people Boy Candace entertains Yes goofy Boy, Candace entertaining, ain't she? Yes, she is. She's gonna get sued too. Yeah, it's goofy. Alright, that is the latest with Lauren. Now don't forget, get on the phone lines right now, 800-585-1051.

Jess Fix My Mess if you need relationship advice or any type of advice, you can call Jess right now, 800-585-1051. Now, Shuller, man, who you giving that down? Man, before I have to the hour, I want House Speaker Mike Johnson and the House Republicans to come to the front of the congregation. We like to have a little word with them. All right, we'll get to that nexus, the Breakfast Club. Good morning. You're checking out the Breakfast Club.

Tla! Tla! Made it! This is America. Ah. There is no question that there are problems in this country between police and community. Yes, you are a donkey. The latest on that police killing of a black man. Now the new developments in the deadly spa shooting rampage.

I mean, it was a really bad day for him and this is what he did. And so we are in a state of emergency. Okay, white supremacy is violence is and always has been the number one threat to our society. But I'm also very proud that my wife is white. My wife is white. To the breakfast club, bitches. All right, Charlene, please tell me, why was I your donkey of the day?

Donkey of the day for Thursday, July 24th goes to House Speaker Mike Johnson and House Republicans because they have stopped all legislative business to avoid voting on releasing the Epstein files. Yes, Democrats said they planned a stage of vote on bringing legislation to the floor that would force the release of the Epstein files. Yes, Democrats said they planned a stage of vote on bringing legislation to the floor that would force the release of the Epstein files and House Speaker Mike Johnson

and the House Republican said, uh-uh, we gonna vanish for a couple of months before we let that happen. Let's go to MSNBC for the report, please. For all of Trump's efforts to change the subject, the Epstein story is not going away. And part of the reason it's not going away is that Trump himself is prolonging the story. Trump also has drawn attention back to this case by insisting that

his allies in Congress block any effort to release more information on Epstein. Today's little lackey, Speaker Mike Johnson, made the decision to effectively shut down the House just to stall a bipartisan effort to get materials from the Epstein probe, which is a fairly ham handed way to get people from the Epstein probe, which is a fairly ham-handed way to get people to stop talking about a topic. Of course, we're going to keep talking about the topic. And if there was any doubt that Trump was behind that decision, just listen to how Speaker Johnson's position changed in just the past week.

We should put everything out there and let the people decide. We cannot be careless in an open release like that. You have to be very careful. Seems a little under duress there. Second video, I don't know. Now we had Pete Buttigieg up here, former Secretary of Transportation. Pete Buttigieg up here this morning.

And he spoke on why we the people should care about this. Let's listen. You see all these headlines about Epstein, but you think to yourself, what I care about is how the Congress is dealing with health care, taxes, etc. Okay, well Congress just got shut down. The Republicans just shut down the United States House of Representatives for two months in order to avoid having to vote on Donald Trump blocking the Epstein files. So even if you don't give a s*** about the news story or the sensationalism of it, this now affects you because one of your branches of government is not operational

between now and September because Speaker Mike Johnson and the Republicans would rather shut that branch of government down than let the Epstein files come out. Oh, oh, dropping the clues by some people to judge. Now also yesterday the Wall Street Journal reported that back in May President Trump was told that his name is among many in the Epstein files. Let's go to CBS News for the report please. The Wall Street Journal reporting that Trump was told by his Justice Department in a briefing

in May that his name were in quote a truckload of files related to Jeffrey Epstein. They also note that quote many other high profile figures were also named. The Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanch, the number two at the Department of Justice told the Wall Street Journal that they made Trump aware of these findings and then again noted that there was nothing in the files that warranted further investigation. In a response on this story to CBS News, White House Communications Director Stephen Chung noted that President Trump kicked Jeffrey Epstein out of his Mar-a-Lago club many years ago, quote, for being a creep, and said that this latest reporting from the Wall Street

Journal is, quote, nothing more than a continuation of fake news stories. Wow. Uh, attorney Pam Bondi attorney general, Pam Bondi also told president Trump that the justice department decided not to release more Jeffrey Epstein documents because of the presence of child pornography and the need to protect the victims. No, tell the truth. Uh, you don't want to release the files because you have a need to protect

president Donald Trump and whatever other powerful figures who are in those files. This is why I keep stressing that Democrats and everybody should never ever stop talking about the Epstein files. This is the bipartisan common sense issue that all Americans can agree on. No matter how much the Trump administration floods the zone with other stories, whenever they try to turn the channel to something else, folks need to turn it right back to the Epstein files they didn't care when he got indicted 91 times they didn't care when he got impeached twice they didn't care when he tried to stage an actual insurrection they were cool when he got found liable for sexual abuse in civil court but the Epstein files got

the MAGA base outraged they are not with it, the biggest cover-up in America today. This is Democrats' transgender and women's sports issue, okay? Republicans never, ever, still to this day, have stopped talking about that. Dems need to treat the Epstein files the exact same way, okay? It's just an obvious cover-up, and Dems need to ask every day why is the Trump administration protecting pedophiles? Simple as that, okay? Democrats, you've been looking for a way to connect with Trump supporters,

you've been looking for a way to build a bridge with MAGA, the Epstein files is the issue that does that. And Mike Johnson, you think you're doing Trump a favor by shutting down the House for a couple of months so they don't force a vote to release the Epstein files, but all you really did was make matters worse by doing that. And I personally believe, and I'm putting on my tin foil,

my tin foil push ice de mask right now, but I personally believe that's the whole plan. Okay, just a week ago, Mike Johnson was one of many Republicans pressing the Trump administration for more transparency on the Epstein case. Then there was a story that JD Vance allegedly visited Rupert Murdoch, owner of Fox News in the Wall Street Journal, right before the Wall Street

Journal dropped Trump's letter to Epstein. Then this week, Monday, Mike Johnson says they are shutting down the House to avoid voting on releasing the Epstein files. Then a couple days later, the Wall Street Journal drops this exclusive that Trump is indeed in the Epstein files. Also, we know Trump is suing Rupert Murdoch who has been a long time advisor and political ally to Trump. He's suing him for $10 billion! Okay, all that glazing Rupert Murdoch and Fox News have done for Trump and soon as they do something Trump doesn't like, he sues them for $10 billion.

He's a friend to nobody. But I want y'all to follow me for a second. Trump got beef with Rupert Murdoch, Elon Musk, all these people who really helped put him in power. They don't seem to be rocking with him anymore. And I don't know if Trump realizes it and I could be completely wrong. But if Trump is definitively named in the Epstein files in a damning way, credible allegations, not just association.

I believe this is the perfect excuse for Republican elites to stage a political coup and push him out. Trust when I tell you Republicans always fall in line, but there are power players in the GOP who have wanted to move on from Trump for years, but they are afraid of his base. But all Republican leaders would have to say is we didn't betray Trump. He betrayed us and the movement. Because he was supposed to bring down this elite system that has been complicit in a child sex trafficking ring.

But instead he was a part of it. If Trump is implicated, all the conspiracy theorists' head would explode. The pizza gate, QAnon, Save the Children children anti-establishment crowd would lose its mind okay Republicans could flip on Trump and fear no political consequences from the MAGA base okay no backlash from the MAGA base because they couldn't support anyone connected to this level of evil no matter how good the policies were okay see Trump's superpower is that he's seen as separate from the swamp. But if you're named incredible Epstein allegations, come on man.

I mean even the die hard MAGA supporters would be like, we got played. Okay, he's just like them. Time to move on. You think JD Vance was allegedly meeting with Rupert Murdoch for no reason? You think JD Vance has been quiet on this for nothing? They're calling for Jelaine Maxwell to be subpoenaed to testify before Congress. If Epstein-related testimony or documents spark a new investigation, then this could trigger Republicans to activate the 25th Amendment. What is that Uncle Sharla? The 25th Amendment is if the President dies or resigns or is removed

from office as a result of impeachment proceedings, then the Vice President shall become President. Not to mention, 2026 is around the corner. Epstein files might be too toxic for House and Senate races. Republicans want to stay in power. They can ditch them without looking disloyal to the base. See, Democrats don't have the power to do this anyway. Republicans can expose them, impeach them, have them removed, look like the hero, look like the heroes and take their party back. This is Republican leadership best shot to get him out without getting

outraged from the base. It's about morality, protecting the children and draining the swamp for real. But I think Republicans already know that. Okay. I believe this is a plan. A political coup is being staged. Let's just sit back and watch it all play out. In the meantime, please give House Speaker Mike Johnson and the House Republicans the biggest E-Haw. E-Haw! E-Haw! Hmm.

I love a political donkey. Mm-hmm. You look quite real. Yeah. Yeah. Alright, well thank you for that donkey today. Yes, indeed. We'll see what happens. Mm-hmm. You look clear. Yep. Yeah. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey today. Yes, indeed. We'll see what happens.

Mm-hmm. But as you said, we got to keep that foot on their neck. We got to see exactly what's coming out. Possible. It's just, it's why. I don't know. We'll just have to. Yo, you be walking right into a butthole, yo.

I'm being serious. Like, you just, man. And I don't walk to any buttholes. I was serious. Like, I want to see what comes out of the episode. I know you do. I like it when you like this, daddy. Yeah, yeah, when you move up and down. Yeah, I like it when you scramble and scraping But holes I was serious like I want to see what comes out of the and I know you Nasty I don't know why when you talk it just sounds like this

Okay, Logan all we can slam a bomb every chance you get tough in your daddy. Yo, got rainbow ears that's what your loose. That mean that mean that. 800-580-510-1. Just fix my messes next.

My Uncle Chris is definitely somebody worth talking about. He was the kind of guy that used Confederate flags as window curtains, lived in a trailer with an ex-con and a retired stripper,

left loaded machine guns laying around, drank a bottle of whiskey a night, claimed he could kill a man with his bare hands, drove a garbage truck for a living, spoke fluent Spanish with a thick southern accent, and is currently buried in a crypt alongside the founding families of Panama. Listen to the Uncle Chris podcast to hear all about him and a whole lot more.

This collection of stories will make you laugh, it'll make you cry, and if I do my job right, they'll let you see the world and your place in it in a whole new way. I can't wait to tell you all about Uncle Chris. Listen now to Uncle Chris on Will Ferrell's Big Money Players Network on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts. Kelly Harnett spent over a decade in prison for a murder she says she didn't commit. I'm 100% innocent.

While behind bars, she learned the law from scratch. Because, oh God, Harnett, jailhouse lawyer. And as she fought for herself, she also became a lifeline for the women locked up alongside her. You're supposed to have faith in God, but I had nothing but faith in her. So many of these women had lived the same stories. I said, were you a victim of domestic violence? And she was like, yeah.

But maybe Kelly could change the ending. I said, how many people have gotten other incarcerated individuals out of here? I'm going to be the first one to do that. This is the story of Kelly Harnett, a woman who spent 12 years fighting not just for her own freedom, but her girlfriends too. I think I have a mission from God to save souls by getting people out of prison. The Girlfriends, Jailhouse Lawyer.

We were interns at the Nashville Tennessean, but the most unforgettable part? Our roommate, Reggie Payne, from Oaklet, sports editor and aspiring rapper. And his stage name? Sexy Sweat. In 2020, I had a simple idea. Let's find Reggie.

We searched everywhere, but Reggie was gone. In February 2020, Reggie was having a diabetic episode. His mom called 911. Police cuffed him face down. He slipped into a coma and died. I'm like thanking you. But then I see my son's not moving. No headlines, no outrage, just silence. So we started digging and uncovered city officials

bent on protecting their own. Listen to Finding Sexy Sweat on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. So what happened at Chappaquiddick? Well, it really depends on who you talk to. There are many versions of what happened in 1969 when a young Ted Kennedy drove a car into a pond. And left a woman behind to drown.

There's a famous headline, I think, in the New York Daily News. It's, Teddy escapes, blonde drowns. And in a strange way, right, that sort of tells you. The story really became about Ted's political future, Ted's political hopes. Will Ted become president? Chappaquiddick is a story of a tragic death and how the Kennedy machine took control.

And he's not the only Kennedy to survive a scandal. The Kennedys have lived through disgrace, affairs, violence, you name it. So is there a curse? Every week we go behind the headlines and beyond the drama of America's royal family. Listen to United States of Kennedy on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. I need your help. My friend been telling me to call you because you think I'm tripping. Okay. So here's my little story. So I've been single and celibate for four years and I'm just now getting back

out there dating. So a couple months ago, I met this guy and our first conversation was like six hours long. We have everything in common. Our birthdays are one day apart. My favorite food is his specialty dish. We both scared of crickets like it's just crazy stuff right? We're scared of crickets. It's crazy. Yes. Okay. Yes. It's cute. Yes. I've never met anybody else especially a grown man that's scared of crickets. So I'm like okay god is this my person? I don't ever really even see crickets to be scared I'm like that but go So yeah, we got to talking this stuff and normally like I don't talk about exes on the first day So he kept on like bringing up his ex-girlfriend and dogging around. I'm like, this is weird

But then a different element of the conversation he was bringing up like a female best friend or another female Just a best friend and I was like, okay, this is weird. So then I kicked into like my little investigative skills and I was sharing with him that my PMS movie is Titanic. And then by the way, he responded, he was like, oh yeah, my ex-girlfriend's PMS movie is blah, blah, blah. And I'm like, wait a minute, you know, this is weird.

Like you were expecting me to bring somebody up. Yeah, but then he was using the same tone to describe the ex-girlfriend and the best friend So I said, you know, is this the same person? He said yeah, like how did you discover that like that's how he said it like yeah And so I just froze and I'm like, you know, oh me used to yell but I'm healing over here So I decided to stay quiet and process and take it in And I said, you know

Let me just take a couple days to think about it because I normally make brass decisions and cut people off So a couple days later we had a conversation about it I brought it up like did you think about blah blah blah and he said yeah but I'm willing to still talk to you I would look you for your flaw and I said excuse me flaw what is my flaw? And he said the flaw is how you reacted towards me having the best friend. You seem like the type that don't it doesn't think that men and women should be best friends. I'm like, no, it's not that that's not the issue. My best friend is also a guy. We've been best friends since middle school and we've been from our thirties

now. But the difference is we, it's platonic. We've never had sex or anything like that. And I'm like, I think that now the issue for me isn't that you have the friend. It's the fact that you brought it, you didn't bring it up. You didn't tell me and you're reacting it's the fact that you brought it, you didn't bring it up, you didn't tell me, and you're reacting in a negative way, like you're deflecting and trying to make it seem like it's my issue.

So I wanna know, is this a red flag, like should I continue to talk to him? I did cut him off, I'm not gonna lie. I told him I didn't wanna talk to him no more. But it's been like a month, and I keep thinking about him. And I was even on a date with somebody else recently, and I'm like, am I wealthy?

But the guy who was on a date with, he was he was like man so what's the worst date you've ever been on? So I'm just like I feel like I was just distracted thinking about this other guy so what do you think I should do? Okay so first of all kudos for going on dates people don't go on real dates anymore so I think that's dope that you are being taken on real dates because that's what dating is all right now just because that was a lot you just gave me so I'm just about to see if this question is what I gathered from it all right so his his best friend is his ex-girlfriend that's the same person correct yes he was presenting it is that there was two

different people yeah no keep him cut off that that yeah he's a clown and he tried to be a magician with it and it didn't work not didn't go and try to tell you how you react it was wrong he's a clown and he tried to be a magician with it and it didn't work Nah, they're gonna try to tell you how you react. It was wrong He's a clown. He plays too many games. Don't don't got time for that. How you gonna tell you that's the problem People think women think that you can't have a female best friend and get yo Yeah, your best friend was your ex-girlfriend Like nah, we're not doing it now You gave him a real example of that because you have a male best friend who you and him were just strictly platonic

this whole time. You know what I mean? That's what a best friend is. Now, when you cross them lines and you try to go back, that's when it becomes weird, because now y'all are now intimate. You know, y'all were once intimate. So, leave him cut off, and this is not wrong to think about him. This is somebody that you like and then you got to take into account you were just single and celibate for four years. So any type of good attention that you get coming out of that, you're going to go crazy over it. So it's not wrong that you're thinking about him but he is not for you.

Your eyes is wide open, you got the blinders off, you good. You have cleaned yourself and purified yourself for four years. You don't got time for none of that narcissistic BS that he playing around with. You know what I mean? Yes, thank you so much for validating that. Yes, I think you're good. I think you're in the best position that you could ever be in dating. I'm guessing you know what it's like to love yourself, you know what it's like to be alone,

you know what you will tolerate, you know what you want, you know what's inappropriate, things that don't align with you. Don't even try to mess up all of that four years of hard work for a clown like that. We're not doing that. Thank you so much. You're welcome, girl. And congrats to you. You got the whole little glow of you married, whole baby, whole second that. Thank you so much. You're welcome, girl. And congrats to you. You got the whole little glow up.

You married, whole baby, whole second baby. Like, that's what's up. I can see the happiness. I can see the glow all over you. So, shout out to Chris. Oh, I appreciate that, girl. That ain't no but shade, boy. Ah, bye.

Now, Jess, this young lady has a problem. It has to do with you. Oh, my God. Is it a lady? Yes. Oh, and Tom is the only one? Yes. Oh, in time for this, the old- Mama, she born as a lady.

Don't go anywhere. It's the breakfast slogan morning the Breakfast Club If you daddy let's make some noise

Meaning by the way, no respect the deadbeat fathers I really mean that from the bottom of my heart where all of the deadbeat father who choose not to be in their children's lives Y'all are complete suckers. I don't even know how you can like Your kids give you and the feeling of every day you walk in that house and that little that little baby just grab you. I don't care how much the baby mama pisses you off that child is your responsibility and that is who you are there for even if you and the mother don't have no you know dealings with each other you should be there for that

child and mothers you should not keep fathers away from their children but I'm just talking about the ones that just choose to act like, you know, we don't know y'all. I don't respect y'all. Y'all are suckers. Hey dad, good morning. I know you're watching the show. Whoa!

Hey, hey, hey. Whoa! Whoa. I'm sorry, you want a hug? Whoa. No, I'm good. All right, well let's get to the latest with Laura. Laura be coming with straight face.

Tell her, tell her! Baby! She gets to be somebody that knows somebody. She gets to detail. I'm the home girl that knows a little bit about everything. All righty, also Clarissa Shields is everywhere right now doing press because you know, she has that fight this weekend, this Saturday with Lonnie Daniels happening in Detroit. Now this fight, all her fights are a big deal. But this one is special because Clarissa has not fought in Detroit since turning pro. She's going to walk out. She have it?

According to. Huh? I thought her last fight was in Detroit. Maybe I'm tripping. The last fight was in Detroit. Oh, well. That was easy. I got this off of a website. No, they lied. It was in Detroit. Last fight was in the last fight was in the trade maybe I'm tripping the last fight was in the trade

no it was an actual sports website um well that is not true but it's still a big fight for her because uh she says she's gonna be walking out to rick ross i'm a boss because she wants to remind the people and she talked a bit last night on nightcap about what we can expect from the fight let's take a listen what you can look forward to see if on Saturday, I don't know if you guys watched the all women's card that happened with MVP July 11th up in Massachusetts. A lot of those girls that fought were good. They were ranked number two, three, and four in the world, but number one did not fight. So you didn't get to see the skills and the power

and everything that I possessed. So that's what you're gonna see on Saturday. And I'm bringing, you know, I'm packing a house with 15,000 people. I'm well over a million dollars at the gate already. We're gonna do probably close to $2 million at the gate. I'm coming out to put on a show. A show for the people.

And I'm coming there and I'm bringing power. I'm bringing skills. I'm bringing speed. And I wanna show you why I wear these greatest women of all time chains, okay? Dropping the clues, mom, Clarissa shows. Is that the Little Seasons arena, right? Yes, it's in the Little Seasons arena. Yes. She's definitely clues about Clarissa Shields. Is that the Little Seasons arena, right? Yes, it's in the Little Seasons arena.

That's in Detroit. Yes. She's definitely fought there before. Yeah, it's at the Little Seasons arena. Yeah, she's fought there like three times. That's what's up. I've been watching Clarissa Shields for a long time. Well, I think, you know,

we had the conversation about the fight. Everyone's expecting Clarissa Shields to win, of course. But there's also been a lot of conversation, a lot of conversation about things outside of her in the ring, which I think I like to see because I do like to see the girls have it all. But you know, it has to be a lot of pressure. So everywhere she's been that I've seen, they've asked her about her new relationship, her new music. So let's take a listen to Clarissa Shields talking

about wanting to have kids on the pivot. So I feel like I put too much time on hold on having a kid and being married and stuff kids on the pivot. the same thing again. Like I don't want to wait till I'm, you know, 40, 43, whatever, after my career to have my kids. I want to be able to run at the park with my kids and stuff like that. I don't want to be too old. So I think that keeping my body in shape, I don't drink, I don't smoke. I think that that'll also help me too when I'm going through this whole body and life changing stuff. Yes. I think that's what's up. You know know she don't want to be old when she have a kid. That's cool. I agree and they talked a bit about that because they were talking about

Naomi Osaka and it just the different pressures that Naomi Osaka had returned into tennis after having her kid. Female athletes. Yeah. Yes. Now on Nightcap last night though Clarissa because she had an album release party last night. What? A listening not release. I'm sorry. A listening party. She says that the music is not officially released, so we don't have it to play here. Yes.

It's hers. She's rapping. So she talked about what she wants to do after music outside of being a mom. Let's take a listen to her on music on other hobbies. Are you interested in what else is it that you like to do. I just had my listening party today and it went very well. You know, everybody, I had nine songs and they rated all my songs a 10. I was so shocked. I like music and honestly I'm a big community person. I want to train young girls and young boys who come from environments that I grew up in. And I want to teach them boxing so boxing can help them like it helped me. Yeah that's what's up yo but I ain't gonna hold you if

I went to a Clarissa Shields listening party I would say it was nice too even if it ain't she ain't gonna be my ass. It does feel like this is the most chatter at least on social media that we've heard about Clarissa Shields outside of the ring, which is interesting because she's had a Netflix documentary, T-Rex, which is really good. She's had a biopic about her life, which is really good, starring Ryan Destiny, The Fire Inside. So that's what I would tell people.

For everybody who's just getting familiar with Clarissa Shields because you see her on social media, you see her dating Papoose, go back and do your research. Go watch the Netflix documentary, T-Rex., go watch the fire inside her biopic with Ryan Destiny. That came out last year? That was Christmas. That was Christmas last year.

I just want to make sure that she's not distracted and she is focused because there's a lot going on. We hear so many things outside of the box and ring and I need Clarissa to win. Clarissa is the homie, I want her to win. She gets busy, she's nice. I just don't want any of these distractions to distract her from training and making sure she's properly prepared for sure Yeah, I don't think she distracted from training. I just you know, she'll be she'll be focused in the ring on Saturday night That's one thing I know about Clarissa. She'll she locks in she does she locks in

But I get what Envy is saying though, it's a lot like it's a lot Going on a lot that we see her doing in the media. It's like she in the media almost every day, every other day, and it's not about fighting. Her star has risen a lot. As I say, it's very interesting to watch people star rise based off things that you don't necessarily would think would make their star rise.

You would think the movie would make the star rise, or the documentary, but for whatever reason, it's just all this chatter, this mess. I also think we're from a place where news-leaving boxes fight, they shut down for like four or five documentary, but for whatever reason, it's just all this chatter. But I also think we're from a place where usually when boxers fight, they shut down for like four or five weeks. They get in their zone. Television.

And then you only hear them the week before, but when you hear her popping up at award shows and doing this to any other, I just want to make sure she know she's knocking this girl out. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's the most important thing. I'm pretty sure she will. She coming out the Rick Ross, too. Yeah.

That's cool. That's cool. I swear I thought it was going to be our boyfriend. That's what's up. Yeah. Well, she talked a lot about Pat helping her right now and just being, not even helping her, but just being like an ear and a guy for her all night

kept us well last night. Let's take a listen. Since I met Pat Poole, he has brought a whole different woman out of me, I guess. Like, I listen to him. He can tell me to be quiet, okay? And he know how I fight, you know, so I can't bully him around and push him around. He's so kind to me and he's so helpful that I've always had to do everything myself since

17 years old. And now I have somebody that really like have my back and my best interest. I was working on my happiness before I met him, but meeting him, it just gave me like, I think when you find your person, you can just talk to him about anything and about any problem. I've gone about everything. And I mean, he always has his ear open to communicate and talk with me and give me great advice and also to let me know like, look, you wrong here. It's so many tweets and so many posts that I was about to put up. He like, don't do it. I don't know. I feel like I have a great partner in crime and we're going somewhere special. If she happy, that's all that matters. If they happy, that's what matters, man.

Absolutely. Can you imagine the tweets that he didn't save? Because some of the tweets that she put out now, he's out. I know. I know. So just imagine the tweets that he said, please don't put that out. Yeah, yeah, but she never had nobody like that to calm her down, like she said, bring out the soft part of her, or she calls it a different type of woman because she ain't never been soft,

so she don't even know how to say soft. But yeah, he brings the soft parts out of her. I think that's dope. I do wish more people would do that. Like before you tweet something, just call somebody first and have the conversation. Just talk about whatever it is that's making you want to tweet before you send the tweet out.

That conversation you have might make you realize, you know what, it ain't that serious. I think sometimes people take things the wrong way from her. Like she talked about the Angel Reese tweet and like once I heard her actually talk about it and just didn't read it in a Twitter, I mean an ex post, I was like, I can see where people felt how they felt but she was coming from a different place like you know what I

Mean, I know we got a rapper the crazy thing about Clarissa And I think Charlamagne to say the same is she's a very humble person like she will if she sees you she'll come speak She'll say what's up, so when when she gets the bad rapper being this meat this yeah She's not that she'll whip your ass in the ring, but she's a very humble person But she's a very humble person. She's a very humble person. Probably the clue about Clarissa Shields. Yes. I like Clarissa Shields a lot.

Now, make sure you tune into The Zone this Saturday, July 26, because that's where you can watch the fight. That's right. Yes. All right. Well, that is The Latest with Lauren. Now, let's get to the mix. Let's go.

My comments don't ain't feeling it. No percent chance

What even though there's a poll that say he got a 13% chance black people be like he got zero Somebody gonna vote I guess what they say 0% chance of him getting the nomination or winning looking at somebody gonna vote I guess what no they say 0% chance of him getting the nomination or winning wasn't Barack Obama like less than 10% when he first when he when they started first on the polls yeah but let's deal with the reality of it Barack Obama wasn't gay damn I think it's just gonna be very hard for an LGBTQ president you know to win in America what are people scared of they got pink guns in the military like Like, come on now. I don't know. I think Pete is a very sharp person.

I think he would make a great candidate. I think so too. But you know, I don't know. But you got to hear his messaging. That's the problem with Democrats right now. They don't really have a message. You know, just because you sound good and you talking good don't mean anything. What's your message?

What are you going to deliver to people? Like just walking around saying Trump bad, Trump bad ain't going to cut it. Nah. Well, it may take a gay man to get the messaging right. Maybe. Listen man, stranger things have happened in America. I just don't think America's ready for a gay president. I mean we want it like a woman president. That's right. But who you got winning that? Would you have a black woman? Would do you think America would choose a black woman over a gay white man or a gay white man over a black woman? Depends who the black woman is.

Cause we had that conversation too about women, right? Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by more than 3 million votes. There's no electoral college Hillary Clinton is president. Correct. Kamala Harris had the second most votes of any democratic nominee ever. So I just think it's not that America wouldn't vote

for a woman, it's just gonna take the right person like to break through. Okay, well, we're starting to give away that daily bread and we have Sharnae Pelzer. Yes? Hey, what's up Sharnae?

My Uncle Chris was a real character, a garbage truck driver from South Carolina who is now buried in Panama City alongside the founding families of Panama. He also happens to be responsible for the craziest night of my life. Wild stories about adventure, romance, crime, history, and war intertwine as I share the tall tales and hard truths that have helped me understand Uncle Chris.
