Starting point is 00:00:00 This is an iHeart Podcast. The Girlfriends is back with a new season, and this time I'm telling you the story of Kelly Harnett. Kelly spent over a decade in prison for a murder she says she didn't commit. As she fought for her freedom, she taught herself the law. He goes, oh God, Harnett, jailhouse lawyer. And became a beacon of hope for the women locked up alongside her. You're supposed to have faith in God, but I had nothing but faith in her. I think I was put here to save souls by getting people out of prison.

Well today is Wendy Williams' birthday so I was wondering if you called and wished her happy birthday. If I could I would.

Starting point is 00:05:50 he works at the Crystal & Walterboro, he's 25 years old, and when I tell you he was so happy, and so appreciative that he had the opportunity to work at that establishment, it just made me realize this is what it's all about. I knew that already, it just reinforced what I already knew. Now that's dope, because people always talk about what they're gonna do or what they wanna do,
Starting point is 00:06:11 but when you see people doing the work and you see it change their lives, you see it affects their lives, like you said, you're giving people jobs, you're giving people opportunities. Even with the car show, it's like so many people get to work this weekend, whether it's security, it's laborers,ers as people putting things down

Starting point is 00:07:43 Damn. Climate change is real. And it's going to help my grow anyway, because now I'm growing it back from the shortcut. All right. Well, let's get in some front page news. What's up, Morgan? All right, let's do it. How we feeling on a Friday? Good. Sounds good. Good morning. Less black and holly fake. Yes. Love to hear it. All right, y'all. So President Trump is doing okay after undergoing vascular testing after experiencing swelling in his
Starting point is 00:08:05 legs. That's what White House Press Secretary, Caroline Levitt said, who claims that all of his tests came back clean. Now he despite that, that there are reports that the president was diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency, CVI, which is a condition where veins in your legs have trouble sending blood back to your heart because it's pool veins in your legs have trouble sending blood back to your heart because it's pooling in the legs. Now let's take a listen to White House Press Secretary, Caroline Levitt, and her comments.
Starting point is 00:08:31 In recent weeks, President Trump noted mild swelling in his lower legs. In keeping with routine medical care and out of an abundance of caution, this concern was thoroughly evaluated by the White House Medical Unit. There was no evidence of deep vein thrombosis or arterial disease. Hey man, if your leg's swelling, everything is not okay. Okay, there is some underlying medical condition, alright? It could be fluid retention, it could be inflammation, but if you're 79 years old and your legs are just swelling up
Starting point is 00:09:01 and you're in the type of shape you look like he in, that is not a good thing. Not at all. This came after a photographer or reporter showed pictures of bruising on Trump's hands while he was speaking to reporters and of course the White House says that's the bruising on his hand is due to frequent handshaking. But okay. I thought you were going to say something else when you said that. When you said bruising on his hand is due to frequent handshaking, I said oh my gosh,
Starting point is 00:09:23 you better not say that more yet. That brings me to the next topic. When you said that, when you said Bruce on the sand is due to frequent, I said, oh my gosh, you better not say that more yet. That brings me to the next topic. Hey, them leg swelling could be a cardiovascular issue too. You just don't say everything is okay when your legs just randomly swell up. That's just not the way life works. No. That's more pee on our head telling us it's raining.
Starting point is 00:09:39 All right, y'all. So speaking, so the White House is looking to return the page on the Jeffrey Epstein case, White House press secretary, Caroline Levitt, was asked about what part of the DOJ investigation into the late sex trafficker President Trump referred to as a hoax on Wednesday. Now she claimed the administration has been open about the entire process. Let's take a listen to her comments. The president is referring to the fact that Democrats have now seized on this as if they ever wanted transparency when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein, which is an asinine suggestion
Starting point is 00:10:12 for any Democrat to make. It was this president who directed the Department of Justice and the Attorney General to do an exhaustive review of all files related to Jeffrey Epstein, which they did. So she went on to blast the media for continued coverage of Epstein, saying the American people care more about bigger issues. Now, of course, this comes as President Trump is threatening to sue the Wall Street Journal
Starting point is 00:10:34 and Rupert Murdoch after the organization posted an article about a letter from Trump to Epstein on Epstein's 50th birthday in 2003. In a post on Truth Social, Trump wrote that Murdoch and the journal were directly warned about the letter saying it was fake and they printed it anyway so they would be sued. Now he said Murdoch told him he would take care of it but Trump said he obviously did not have the power to do so. Trump also asked Pam Bondi, the attorney general, to produce any and all pertinent grand jury testimony related to Epstein. So this thing is now rolling and it is appearing that it is yeah it's growing some legs. It should have more than legs. I mean it should never ever go
Starting point is 00:11:15 away. I keep saying like this is the issue Democrats to jump on because this is their transgender and women's sports issue. It's that issue that for whatever reason their base cares about in the real way. So if you're trying to build transgender and women's sports issue. It's that issue that for whatever reason, their base cares about in the real way. So if you're trying to build a bridge with that base, stay on this issue. And I'll- Yeah, I was gonna say, yeah, we can say all that,
Starting point is 00:11:34 but let's be honest. While Trump is the president, you're not gonna see nothing with them Epstein files. You're not gonna see it. I don't care how much you fight, how much you scream, how much you yell, how much you put graffiti on, you write it, it doesn't matter. It is not coming out, possibly, when he gets out of office, but right now, he's just doing it for no reason.
Starting point is 00:11:50 You're probably right, Envy, but guess what? We never saw no trans women, I mean no transgenders in women's sports either like that. But it was just the fact that you keep pressing the issue over and over and over just because. And I hope you all understand the jig too. He's already blaming it on Democrats and Democrats had nothing to do with this. So whatever comes out is either true and they will say it's not, or whatever comes out is simply fake. My point is you can't, my point is you just can't trust whatever, if something does come out, you're not even going to be able to trust whether it's real or not.
Starting point is 00:12:19 So the journal does, the Wall Street Journal does describe the letter as body and says it concludes with quote Trump saying, happy birthday and may every day be another wonderful secret. So it does appear that there is something to hide there. So y'all stick around. That's not like AI right there. That's not crazy. Why would you write that to another man? Well, I hope every day another wonderful secret.
Starting point is 00:12:42 What the hell? All right. What are we talking next, Al Morgan? We're talking about the sentence that is being suggested in the death of Breonna Taylor or the police officer that is involved in that case. So, yeah, stick around. More front page news at seven.

Starting point is 00:16:41 We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? Hey, I was in goose Creek yesterday. Why drove through there? I ain't stopped. Well, I was in Walter brother most corner, you know, cause that's home and I was in Walter burrows. So, how they build a whole town. God damn. And then I was in Nexton. How they build a whole town? Goddamn. First of all, that place is blowing up. We're about to build a Costco over there. Then it's really gonna be blowing up. They got a public there. That's unbelievable. I mean, just to watch them build a whole town in a couple of years, like, Goddamn.
Starting point is 00:17:16 It's about to be its own little thing. Like Goose Creek in my corner. It's about to be Nexton. Not even Summerville, just Nexton. You're right. Creek in my corner it's about to be next to it yeah not even some of it just next thing you right yeah I had to get up my chest that little quick boy I had up there you know whatever it mean is neon whatever his name is And he was home. He was home, just home the shit out of him. Y'all made me move the shit out of him. He didn't walk out and became a totally different person. A totally different person. He all ghosted in his chest. Yo, and Holla Litta whooped his ass.
Starting point is 00:17:55 Soon as he walked out the radio station, he'd have got his ass whooped. Because you wasn't tough like that in the station. Now you walk out, you hear, you hear, get the fuck out of here. Excuse me. You better go sit down somewhere yo. Like I can't stand that. That's the problem now. And mama shouldn't work his ass. Because that's the, yo, the little kids in that internet, they don't even know, when you beat them up they call the police. You know what I'm saying like? Just ridiculous. That was ridiculous.
Starting point is 00:18:22 Well we don't want nobody to get their ass whipped, you know what I mean? It was just a conversation. I don't know. Mama, you know, you listen to the Breakfast Club. That happens a lot on the Breakfast Club. Somebody's humble pie and then when they get off, they start reading their comments and they change. It happens all the time. You just got to let them live.
Starting point is 00:18:36 What do you mean? See it after we're like on their screen or whatnot? Yeah, I guess on the stream, they're talking a lot differently. Got you, got you. My whole thing is that's the problem now. All this racist stuff going on and he's just helping it. You know what I'm saying? Calling monkeys and all the public. differently. You are protected by black people. Like I said, it's camera man and bodyguard. You want us to protect you, but at the same time,
Starting point is 00:19:07 you got people talking crap online, calling people monkeys and stuff. Come on now, you can't play both sides. Pick a side. Can he control that, though? Can he control what other people say? Nah, but at the same time, you got all these followers, you can control the narrative.
Starting point is 00:19:22 You can control the narrative. Yeah, okay. You can drive the car in a different direction. I agree with you. No, absolutely, that's exactly what I told him. I agree with you. I don't agree that don't nobody need to ass whip, but I definitely understand what you're saying, Shar,
Starting point is 00:19:37 but I get hurt too at the same time. We don't want nobody to get their ass whipped. Now, if you get your ass whipped, that ain't got nothing to do with us because the reality of the situation is the energy you put out is the energy you get back and everybody has to deal with the consequences of the action. I'm never wanting somebody to get they ass whipped,
Starting point is 00:19:50 but I mean, sometimes ass whippings are inevitable. I done got punched in my face, that's why I keep trying to tell these kids. I'm not telling y'all nothing that I haven't experienced firsthand. Okay, there is a step, one plus one always will equal two. Yeah, but also like you said, if the young man came up there
Starting point is 00:20:05 and he really wanted to evolve and he really wanted to change his life and not wanna be a troll, we'll see where it is next year, right? But you can't come up there and say that and then later on in your chat start going crazy. That just shows that you really are just doing it for your trolling purposes.
Starting point is 00:20:19 But hopefully we'll hear about him in a year or two and he will change and he'll be a different person. Like he said, he wants to to be or it could be BS. So we'll see. And I will say accountability will always look like an attack when you're not truly ready to acknowledge your behavior. That's the word. Keep that for the positive notes.
Starting point is 00:20:38 You don't remember. Just post a Harriet Tubman SNL. I'm like, that's just in solidarity. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. We got the latest Lauren coming up. What we talking about? We do.
Starting point is 00:20:51 We gonna talk about the late show and Stephen Colbert cause the show got canceled yesterday. Hell no. Yo, it's crazy. I'm trying to figure out like, is it politics? Is it finances? We gonna get into it. Don't nobody listen to me when I'm talking.
Starting point is 00:21:01 Why don't you ask Charlamagne? We gonna get into it. I can't wait to ask. I need Paramount CBS to come to the front of the congregation today. I know we. I can't wait to ask. I need Paramount CBS to come to the front of the congregation today. I know we do people's donkey on Friday, but I need Paramount CBS to come to the front of the congregation.
Starting point is 00:21:10 I made a lot of money with Paramount CBS over the years, but this is ridiculous. Wow. All right, well we'll get to that next, so don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club, good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning everybody, it's DJ NV Jess and Larry. Charlamagne the guy, we are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to the latest with Lauren. the The latest with Lauren La Rosa. Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details, sometimes you have a little bit of
Starting point is 00:21:46 everything. Who is the latest? On The Breakfast Club. Talk to me. So Stephen Colbert last night, he surprisingly announced that the late show on CBS will be canceled. Let's take a listen. Before we start the show, I want to let you know something that I found out just last
Starting point is 00:22:02 night. Next year will be our last season the network will be ending the late show in May and Yeah, I share your feelings it's not just the end of our show, but it's the end of the late show on CBS I'm not being replaced. This is all just going away and I Do want to say that the folks at CBS have been great partners. I'm so grateful to the Tiffany Network for giving me this chair and this beautiful theater to call home. And of course I'm grateful to you, the audience, who have joined us every night in here, out there, all around the world, Mr. and Mrs. America,
Starting point is 00:22:40 and all the ships at sea. I'm grateful to share the stage with this band, these artists over here. And I am extraordinarily, deeply grateful to the 200 people who work here. I mean, it's not a surprise if you've been paying attention, but it is a shock that, wow, Paramount, y'all really folded to the Trump administration. Y'all really folded to authoritarian strategy, huh? Okay, so I'm glad you directed the people
Starting point is 00:23:04 to the right way to be paying attention, because you know people are trying to change this conversation into ratings, which is crazy, because the late show- Stephen Colbert is the highest rated late night show on television. Talk crazy, exactly. So the way that, and then they try to take it away
Starting point is 00:23:15 from the ratings, and CBS released a statement that says, "'This is purely a financial decision "'against a challenging backdrop in late night. "'It is not related in any way to the show's performance, "'content, or other matters happening at Paramount. A lot of people are pointing to the fact that when Stephen Colbert came back at the top of the week, he had talked about the lawsuit
Starting point is 00:23:31 that's currently happening with Paramount. Or the lawsuit, Paramount settled. Yes, well- It gave him $60 million. Yes. It gave him, Trump administration's, yes, $60 million. Yeah, so-
Starting point is 00:23:42 Well, not the Trump administration, but whoever, who other from Trump that sued them? I forgot. I'm not for sure it is- Trump did sue them though. Yes. So we're not the Trump administration, but whoever, whoever from Trump that sued them, I forgot. I'm not for sure. Did sue them though. Yes. Uh, so yes, it was settled, but there was some comments that he made at the top of the week about that and people are alluding to maybe that has something to do with it. But I don't know.
Starting point is 00:23:56 I think I was surprised when I saw the announcement, I read an article from someone and I believe she was from the New York Times who was in the audience who said she thought the surprise was going to be something good. And it was this. Everybody was kind of caught off guard with this. Paramount lying about why you got rid of Colbert sounds like people in the Trump administration lying about why they won't release the Epstein files.
Starting point is 00:24:14 It's so obvious they are doing this to appease Trump, so he lets this merger go through. Paramount is looking for FCC approval for its Sky Dance merger. Trump can block that if he wants to, so firing Colbert is an obvious move to appease Donald Trump. Paramount paid Trump $16 million for essentially no reason. The FCC launched an investigation into CBS, ABC, and NBC after Trump said that he claimed that there was biased editing, even though CBS released full
Starting point is 00:24:40 transcripts of that Kamala Harris' interview to prove accuracy. So this is literally just authoritarian, authoritarian strategy at work. And if you don't think we are under a regime with an authoritarian strategy, then you are bugging. This is textbook authoritarian strategy. Target your critic, centralize power in a few hands, intimidate through punishment or removal. And you know what this usually does? It makes people shut the hell up
Starting point is 00:25:05 in regards to talking about 100% administration. Yes, 100%. Absolutely, yeah. I mean, cause yeah, if people are losing their jobs and losing money, yes, people gonna shut the F up. Well, I thought that this was the administration
Starting point is 00:25:16 that didn't believe in censorship. I thought this was the administration that believed in free speech. Okay, Paramount and CBS should be ashamed of themselves and you can't trust anything you see on that company moving forward They might as well cancel all their news. How can you trust it? Yeah at this point Yeah, I Don't know. I feel like people are ready to go kind of giving up hope in things on actual like linear TV
Starting point is 00:25:38 But then you have these staple shows like Stephen Colbert and these you know people these talking heads that you trust and then you take Them off air. It's like TV is done at this point. We fold into things. I was going to say we'll see where he lands but he's Stephen Colbert so he'll do whatever he wants to do. He's filthy. He's filthy. Yeah, he'll do whatever he wants to do at this point. He'll be in South Carolina living his best life, growing out his beard, growing out his mustache. He'll be more than fine. Trust and believe, okay?

Well, in other news, so last night there was a video from a Coldplay concert that began to circulate online. It was a kiss cam or you know how they jumbotron the audience. So when there were two people that came up on the screen, there was a CEO from a company called Astronomer and another woman who
Starting point is 00:26:28 worked there, she is a part of like their HR team. She works with people and staff there. 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,
Starting point is 00:26:59 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?

There was a statement that was floating around yesterday, but if you went and checked Astronomer's

And then this morning, there was a story that came out, TMZ did a story this morning that the company is saying that that statement was not true. And people were laughing at the statement because the economy was basically blaming Coldplay, but the statement was not true and people were laughing at the statement because the condom was basically blaming Coldplay but the statement wasn't true they neither party has made a statement in this a confirm or deny anything.

You just gotta hope your significant other don't see it. How. Yeah right. All of sudden you got to go into social media fast, you know, it's really ruining us as society social media Let's get off that baby

Starting point is 00:34:59 Alright. Alright. Well thank you for the latest with Lauren. When we come back we got front page news and then 85 South Show will be joining us. Don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:35:11 Your mornings will never be the same. Morning everybody. It's DJ NV Jess Hilarious. Charlamagne Naga. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get back to some front page news. What's up Morgan? Hey y'all.
Starting point is 00:35:22 So I got a lot to get to in this hour so bear with me. So the House is voting to pass a package of $9 billion in Doge spending cuts. Lawmakers voted 216 to 213 to approve the cuts to public broadcasting, global health programs and foreign aid. This after Republican senators narrowly passed the package on Thursday. The bill can now head to President Trump's desk for his signature. Now, elsewhere in- I just don't understand why they are so hell bent on cutting things that actually help people. Things that actually educate people.
Starting point is 00:35:55 Things that actually provide funding for people to actually eat. I'm an ambassador for the food bank in New York City, and it's programs like that that are directly impacted by these cuts. And if you see the work that these people do, all they're doing is providing groceries and food for people who actually need it. So why are you so hell bent on hurting people that help? I don't understand that logic.
Starting point is 00:36:23 Well, they claim that maybe things are being taken advantage of some of these programs that a lot of people are you know just taking advantage of the programs taking advantage of the system and that they don't necessarily need it or that they're just it's a crutch. What they need to come to the hood and they need to have conversations with people they need to come to rural areas like I'm from in South Carolina and have conversations with people and realize that a lot of these people are doing the best they can, busting
Starting point is 00:36:47 their ass, going to work, but they got enough money to put, you know, to pay their bills, but they may not have enough money for food. And this is where these programs like this, you know, help. Clock it. All right. So let's continue to say her name, Breonna Taylor. The Justice Department is seeking a one day prison sentence for a former police officer in the death of Breonna Taylor in Kentucky. Now, Brett Hankinson was working as a detective for the Louisville Metro Police Department
Starting point is 00:37:14 when he shot blindly into a home during a botched raid in 2020. Hankinson was convicted of deprivation of rights under color of law late last year. That's a federal crime where a person is acting under the authority of the law, willfully where they willfully deprive another person of their rights, privileges or immunities secured by the Constitution of federal laws. Now the officers who killed Taylor were not charged due to them returning fire at Taylor's boyfriend.
Starting point is 00:37:43 The DOJ said reasonable minds might disagree as to whether defendant Hankinson's conduct has constituted a seizure under the Fourth Amendment. In the first place, Hankinson is scheduled to be sentenced next week. So that seems to be sparking some controversy that they're only seeking, the DOJ is only seeking a one-day prison sentence, which is essentially time served That's crazy So speaking of protecting black women Maryland Senator Angela also Brooks is teaming up with lawmakers from Ohio and New York in an Effort to fight fibroids now July is fibroids awareness month and also Brooks joined
Starting point is 00:38:20 Congresswoman Chantelle Brown and Yvette D Clark to announce the the Uterine Fibroid Intervention and Gynecological Health Treatment Act, also known as UFIGHT. Maryland's first black senator spoke more about the bill in a recent post on Instagram. Let's take a listen to her comments. 80% of all African-American women, 60% of all women, suffer from uterine fibroids. This is Fibroid Awareness Month and what we're working on is increasing the amount of research that is done regarding fibroids so that we can have for our daughters and granddaughters an opportunity to not only understand that this is happening but to heal it. We are really calling on many of our agencies, NIH in particular and others, to increase the amount of funding
Starting point is 00:39:05 that is available in states to study and eventually also to treat fibroids. So the legislation is part of a larger package aimed to advance uterine health initiatives and of course the senator said she's going to reach across the aisle hoping that this can be a bipartisan issue because you know women you look women we know women. Yeah, absolutely right. Republican or Democrat. We know.
Starting point is 00:39:29 Absolutely. And if you and if you are experiencing like crazy crazy menstrual symptoms right cramps and then just like a heavy heavy flow you know what I mean like in your 30s because after having my daughter, y'all I'm telling you, it's gotten so bad and just out of nowhere. Like you know what I mean? All of a sudden it just got so much worse, like the cramps from the bleeding, everything, you know what I mean? And it lasts way longer. So I think this is really good what they're doing because we all need to be aware of what's going on with us, especially
Starting point is 00:40:03 when we get to these ages. Absolutely. And so the president of the national... You're in these ages. You're 33. I know. I don't care. I'm 47. You're 47 when you get to these ages. But I'm telling you, things change though. After I had my daughter, I just had a baby. And my menstruals are way worse. I don't know. I don't know. So, you know, also go to the doctors to see. But yeah, I have an appointment coming up to see about that. I'm glad to see that they're doing something about that.
Starting point is 00:40:32 But yeah, at these ages, like I said, in your 30s, which you wouldn't even usually hear about stuff like this happening until like 40s and 50s. No, things are happening to us way earlier. Like, I don't know. Definitely happening a way earlier. Like, I don't know. Definitely happening a lot earlier. 35 is actually the age, I believe, that is like once you start to look at complications in pregnancy, 35 and up. So, to your point. All right, switching gears, the president of the National Urban League, Mark Moriales, says democracy in America is under siege. Now, the former New Orleans mayor was speaking
Starting point is 00:41:02 on the findings at the Urban League's annual State of Black America report, which he calls a warning and a rallying cry for civil rights. Let's take a listen to Mark Morial. We have to recognize that this is going to be a long battle. This challenge is not going to be solved by a single Supreme Court decision, a single piece of legislation, or a single election. This is really a battle for the future of America, whether America is gonna be a multiracial democracy, whether America is gonna be a nation
Starting point is 00:41:32 that truly provides economic opportunity for all. So he pointed to the Trump administration's efforts to end diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives and the Supreme Court's recent rulings to end race-based or Supreme Court's rulings to end race-based or Supreme Court's rulings to end race-based affirmative action in college admissions. Now today on the Black Information Network at BINnews.com at 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. we will
Starting point is 00:41:53 have a special encore presentation on the network of the State of Black Radio sessions from Urban League National Convention featuring our president Tony Coles and Mark Morial.

Starting point is 00:46:27 You see things, you see different things, you see different perspectives when you go to different cities. You know you perform everywhere, everywhere you go. They got different cultures and different ways of doing things. So you get to visualize all of that and it goes into your stage show. Because when you perform for people, they want to hear your perspective on their everyday life and you get to see that when you're on the road. So that's the best part about it. Ch already looking like Chico lean man. Yeah, man

They got you on camera. You went to a freak-off. That wasn't no thing.
Starting point is 00:51:10 You loved it. You envied it. You talking about the colon check. I'm talking about colonoscopy. That ain't even the same thing. You just on asshole adventures, man. You just on asshole adventures all in, man. What's up with your man? He on the table, butt nigger on his stomach. Yo! We're still kicking it with 85 South's show. Jess!
Starting point is 00:51:38 Do y'all ever have problems making decisions? Because it is three of y'all, right? And say if one of y'all don't want to do something, how of y'all have to say like no or yes for y'all to like collectively agree or disagree on something it ain't a whole lot of things we got to collectively agree on that's the best part about it so sometimes we show up with two wrong answers and the right one and sometimes we have days where people just make their own decision and my bro do what you want to do but you got my full support
Starting point is 00:52:05 We know it ain't a whole lot of things. We don't clash on nothing really. No, I like the same type of women Yeah, we don't hang out at the same type of place It's just we got a dope bond where it's like we just brothers. They're we brothers and it's just it's literally family You know I'm saying, you know the things you go through with your family Whatever the conversation is is always in-house and we always take care of it. It's never public, you know, never for public consumption and that's what makes things easier. So when we got to make those decisions, it's always a collective bargaining agreement and we, you know, whatever, whichever way it go, we all understand it's all done out of love
Starting point is 00:52:37 so it make it easy, you know what I'm saying? And it's, that's what makes us special because you know, you do comedy, it's you, it's a one man sport, you in the microphone. So what we do, we show that it's possible to be able to have that type of camaraderie and still get the same product and the same result, even though we're doing it in a different way. And y'all trust each other.
Starting point is 00:52:53 I saw an interview DC was doing, and he was just talking about Los being the OG. Yeah, without question. Los being the leader. I think the question might have been who's the leader. Yeah, he is. And I've heard you say that too, Chico. You know how hard that is for men to do?
Starting point is 00:53:06 No, not for us, because you gotta think about the place that we came from. We all started with nothing. Every time we come to New York, me and Lowe's had this conversation about how we was walking around, sending $50 back home to Western Union and washing clothes in the basement of the hotel.
Starting point is 00:53:20 When you have that type of vision, that's all you have is the vision at certain points. And he always had that vision to see past wherever we were at in the moment. I think you know and the biggest thing for me too I think is because we was all broke together at some point you know what I'm saying and it was like we had those conversations those late nights sitting around like bro when I get some bread we gonna hey we gonna do this for real you know that's what you want I bet and then it actually happened so that was that was one of those things
Starting point is 00:53:46 that really formed the bond too. Yeah, he don't like say he always had division. He was one of the ones that sold when we were on Wild N Out as great as the opportunity there was for all of us. He was always the one like, man, look, we gotta look past this, we gotta do this, we gotta do that, we gotta do this. And I say that because he's the elder,
Starting point is 00:54:01 he went through certain trenches that me and Fly didn't have to go. They didn't really even exist once we got in the game I was I started in oh wait, and we was the you know the last beacon of of day go Yeah, we was fly we was just talking about just division that Lowe's head We was just talking about just the vision that Lowe's had. What's up? DJ, get this. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:28 The vision that Lowe's had just when we first were starting out to see past the moments that we were at and have the vision to understand that this was the direction to go in. You know what I'm saying? Oh yeah, for sure man. OG, I always had the vision. You dig what I'm saying? Since day one. He just jumped right in.
Starting point is 00:54:43 You know exactly what we talking about. Why y'all didn't tell me y'all were winning Gucci though, bruh? I ain't got no Gucci. You wouldn't have bought that. I had to be a diggin on saying like since they won he just right exactly what we talking Right on until me I'll win Gucci though, you wouldn't have bought none either way So my yeah, we don't care nothing about that you spend thirty thousand dollars a week on skincare routine Table for years that look like one of them orders that's been sitting on the table for years. That's what you used to look like all the way. Well, nah, man. O.G.J. always had the vision. You dig what I'm saying? Like, I think that's what it comes down to.
Starting point is 00:55:32 Like, if you got something going on and you know you need help, you feel what I'm saying? Then, not only that, the dudes you asking for help from, they need help. You feel me? It's a group collective. And I think that's what you know I'm saying us as Black folk don't do together, bro We won't come together and ask for help like asking for help thinking like you belittling yourself for you like I don't need it But we need each other and at the end of the day we can grow together, but that's that's the only way we can go To the next step quicker. You know I'm saying without you trying to do it by yourself
Starting point is 00:56:02 I mean we all can do things by ourselves, But you see as a collective when we do things together, so it's like effortlessly you feel I'm saying so What's been the biggest lesson in ownership y'all had to learn the hard way? Yeah, because you take away the Negotiation power from people when you own your product, you know I'm saying people can't come and give you did you know give you terms and conditions that you have to hit that the negotiation power from people when you own your product. People can't come and give you terms and conditions that you have to adhere to because you need them. And a lot of times in this industry,
Starting point is 00:56:33 people are, especially the powers that be, they're used to you being in need. And they're used to being able to throw anything at you and you'll take it because you don't know no better. But when you own it, it gives you a level of freedom that you don't have to worry about certain types of things happening in your negotiations or dealing with certain types of people and being able to walk away from money being able to say no everybody thinks that uh the opportunity is attached to a dollar but a lot of times it's not but you're not able to see that if you gotta get the dollar you know what I'm saying
Starting point is 00:57:00 they gotta handle you way different when they know you don't need it. Like when you said it don't matter the money sometimes, you're like no I'm cool. Then they be like well why? Why though? What you want? Nothing, I'm just, I don't see what you need me for. What you think, where we going? Yeah, it's way different when you can say no sometimes. And sometimes they also think that somebody's already behind you already. Right. You know what I'm saying? Like they just
Starting point is 00:57:27 swore we always work for somebody since day one not knowing that we start this from the ground up trying to figure it out. And I think that it's a difference between when you got people that's putting the money behind and then we used our own money. You see what I'm saying? Like we can't mess up nobody else money. We done messed up a lot of our money. You know what I mean? We done messed up a lot of our money. But I think that's the growing pain. That's what comes with understanding. Like you know what? The mistakes ain't mistakes to us. The mistakes are learning lessons. So every mistake we had, we just figured out, oh, you know what, let's just do something different in versus We got an answer to somebody be like well why that didn't work in up We don't see the vision all right season two council like man. We've been doing this is 2015
Starting point is 00:58:12 Yeah, we took our bumps with our own money, so then when we did get some of they money We had already went through the errors and it worked out Yeah, it's a lot less pressure not having to recoup somebody else break what you talking? I'm saying you can get paid first when you use your own bread. You ain't gotta pay nobody back. I was wondering, you know, you guys will roast anybody anytime, anywhere, any place. It depends. Who got the most sensitive when it came to roasting?
Starting point is 00:58:35 Oh, it depends for real, DC? Yeah, it depends. See, I use that as a defense mechanism. It ain't just like, I'm just waking up like, I want to get on somebody's nerve today. Nah, it ain't that. You gon' say something to me, I got nerves today. No, it ain't that. It's you think you gonna say something to me? I got something back like this is my twin brother. This has always been my twin brother since the day of time.
Starting point is 00:58:51 But it's just like. That's my uncle. That's your uncle. You see what I'm saying? Now how the f*** you become your uncle? I want your uncle ever before. I think when you got married, that's when you got uncle. Yeah, you became my uncle.
Starting point is 00:58:59 Oh, f***. Yeah, she married. She unced at us, man. Look at the ring. She got the ring on. You know what I mean? She was a girl. Yeah, she married. You knowced at us man. Look at the ring, she got the ring on. You know what I mean? Yeah, she married, you know what I mean? She got married.
Starting point is 00:59:09 She got married. She ain't inviting none of us to the ceremony, I tell you that much. It was quick, it was quick. She didn't even know. She just woke up, for real. I'm muscleing, hurry up. Y'all so stupid.
Starting point is 00:59:23 But did anybody get super duper sensitive? You was like, let's leave him alone. Did that ever happen? Well, on 85 South? No, when you roasted somebody, whether it was in person or- You know who got the most sensitive. You, n***a. You, n***a.
Starting point is 00:59:33 And you. You the most gay, but you don't ever do it in front of us. You and Azalea Banks. Not me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You've been there. You know he's gon' be mad. DJing.
Starting point is 00:59:48 Is that just like your voice? Only get high pitched when y'all come around. Like you don't answer the phone like, uh, no. Yo, Charlamagne. 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
Starting point is 01:00:04 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.
Starting point is 01:00:22 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

Hamilton pauses and then he says, the greatest man that ever lived was Julius Caesar. And Jefferson writes in his diary, this proves that Hamilton is for a dictator

I know a lot of cops, and they get asked all the time, have you ever had to shoot your gun? Sometimes the answer is yes.
Starting point is 01:03:01 But there's a company dedicated to a future where the answer will always be no. Across the country, cops call this Taser the revolution. But not everyone was convinced it was that simple. Cops believed everything that Taser told them. From Lava for Good and the team that brought you Bone Valley comes a story about what happened when a multi-billion dollar company dedicated itself to one visionary mission.

When you launched the podcast and you said you don't want to get Chico, I want to get DC to do the podcast, did you see this turn into the empire it's become? Yeah, that's why if you go back to the early episode when it was just us in the studio with me and Chico and DC and then We always would say hey man, this is who the podcast for This for the podcast who this party right here is for white women with black kids who don't know how to do they have
Starting point is 01:04:36 Well, you know this this for everybody who ever had to use Vaseline is Greece You feel me? So that that's why we that's how we did this Yeah, I always felt like, I still feel like this is just the beginning. Like we ain't did half the stuff that we know we're about to do. We got some big stuff coming up. I tell you who the podcast not for,
Starting point is 01:04:54 n****s who gotta get put to sleep to get they prostate checked. Exactly! Damn! Who gotta put to sleep? He did, he really did. You had to go to sleep, gang. You couldn't watch your gang. What happened? You were like, you know what?

Starting point is 01:05:22 He like it, he go every week. He went for a vasectomy and it was like turned around. That's the checked? He liked it. He'd go every week. That's a guy, buddy. He'd go every week. He went for a vasectomy, and it was like, turn around. That's the only time I got it. You got a vasectomy? I went for the consultation. And what'd they do when you got there? It turned to a prostate exam, so I had to go back.
Starting point is 01:05:35 Oh. But they did go. So you went to go get some clip, and you were like, you know what? No, I went for the consultation. And you know, after they look at your shit and all that, and then the guy was just like, yo, man, how you? What the fuck did they do?
Starting point is 01:05:43 What, you had to get butt naked? What's up with that? Yeah. They look at your dick and they're like, tell guy was just like, yo man how are you? What you had to get butt naked? What time did you get your butt naked? Tell the doctor! So he checked his prostate during that exam, during the consultation. I've never heard of that in my life. Me either, not going to get the full procedure. What made you want to get that?
Starting point is 01:05:55 You gotta stop going to the real doctors, man. What made you want to get it? You already had all the kids and all that. My wife wanted me to get one. She didn't want no more kids. Oh, okay, gotcha. She making you just cut your man's hair off. I haven't done it yet, though. Yeah? Nah, I don't know. and all that like The prostate in the colonoscopy colonoscopy they put you to sleep and they put a camera up your ass to make sure everything
Starting point is 01:06:29 ain't good. That damn is the same shit. The other one, they put a camera up your ass to make sure things aight. And that's crazy because a lot of men have to go through that. You going? I'm nervous. Yeah, but you going though. I don't even like the doo-doo.
Starting point is 01:06:42 Why you don't like the doo-doo? Because I ain't got time to be going. I'm like, like the doodoo Why you don't like the doodoo because I ain't got time to be going back like that was I just pull my pair right back Wiping your ass and pausing. You're pausing yourself. God damn, DC. What is it like watching the poor minds fuck ass? Man, beautiful. That's amazing.
Starting point is 01:07:12 Beautiful. Just seeing, first of all, just seeing black women flourish. Let's just take a pause for that. Yeah, without question. Just black women flourish and having kings behind them that's, you know what I'm saying, that's important. And don't look at them as sexual. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Like, this is a family vibe, you know what I'm saying, that's important. And don't look at them as sexual. You know what I'm saying? Like, this is a family vibe. You do what I'm saying? Like, we ain't got time for all that. Like, sometimes men, we have to
Starting point is 01:07:33 understand that we need to have relationships with women without being sexual. Yeah, creating a safe space, especially as black men. Creating a safe space for our women. And for them too, to come and be secure. Without having to feel like they subjected to all the things that come with the stigmas of being a woman, especially a black woman in this industry, you know I mean we always try to make sure that our presence makes our women feel comfortable and safe that they can be themselves and not have to worry about getting judged or you know being looked at as objects you know I'm saying and be
Starting point is 01:08:02 able to really project their talents out the right way. And that's something that we find really important because talking to our uncle and everything, like she'll let us know that the fights that we've been around her for years and she's had to push through so much just because of the type of person that she is and she ain't going for sh**, you know what I'm saying? So that makes it very difficult for black women
Starting point is 01:08:23 in this industry. So we wanna create an environment where we you know You don't have to worry about none of that coming over here you going whatever it is you do That's what we looking at you to do nothing else They just as dope as they ever were like they didn't have to get dope like I'd went and did the podcast with them a long Time ago and at a trail house They were just in the living room just you know sipping wine talking shit And I was like y'all got something and I know that y'all some attractive women people
Starting point is 01:08:48 gonna want to hear y'all opinion on certain stuff and just to see where they took it is crazy. That's dope. I just bought mine's nav too. Money bag mom's milk. Money bag ain't crazy. That's the thing about we you said the family environment, bro. We want to be around talent that we respect. Because we know that these people have something different than just, you know what I mean, than just being our friends. We respect the talent that they have. We love to see Moneybag go on stage or Clayton English get to talking, you know, deep conspiracy theories and then, you know, broken play and poor minds.
Starting point is 01:09:23 So it's like, these are the things that we want around us people that we can have fun with people that we can kick and we know once they can get our attention because we kind of tough critics we know that the masses gonna mess with it.

Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details, sometimes you have a little bit of everything. But what's the latest? On The Breakfast Club. Talk to me. So Denise Richards, reality star Denise Richards, actress, has recently been granted a temporary restraining order against Aaron Piper's, her husband, because of alleged domestic violence that she claims went down now in the filing that she Put in to get this temporary restraining order. She includes some photos one of the photos that she includes is of her eyes

She said that this is not she alleged that this is not the only time I just didn't know her by name. Wow. Okay. Damn. So what she claims happens in this photo, she said that this is not, she alleged that this is not the only time. She said that this has happened several times at the hands of her husband. But she says, you know, throughout their relationship, Erin, she claims Erin would frequently violently choke her, squeeze her head with both hands, tightly squeeze her arms Slapper on her face in her head aggressively slam her head into bathroom towel racks and more that photo of her severely bruised

But she details it. If it was the listening devices, it heard everything. Like why why he attacked her because he thought she planted them? Yeah, I believe that's what she's hinting to in the doc.
Starting point is 01:15:23 She's basically saying that there were instances where like he would just like spaz out about things. So like for instance, there was a work trip that she was going on and she had said to him, I don't suggest you come with me on the work trip. And he went off and you know, grabbed her by the back her head and her hair allegedly slammed her into the ground allegedly screaming, you're not canceling my flight. I'm going with you.

Starting point is 01:15:53 She alleges come from these incidents that I think she's saying that he feared that she would go and tell police or somebody because she also talks about in the report that she submitted that there were times where she thought about going to police and things of that nature, but allegedly he would say to her, if you do that, I'll kill you and I kill myself. Now, he has come out and completely denied this and said that you know, she's twisting things. He says that she is creating a story to save her image reporting a conjured up story when I have
Starting point is 01:16:20 all the real evidence. It's not true. I have the details. That's what he told TMZ. But her eye looks horrible. It does. Definitely look like this. That's crazy. Yes. It's horrible. It is horrible. Yeah. Okay. In other news.
Starting point is 01:16:38 Don't bring the mood down and then don't do nothing to bring it back up. I'm going. We're about to celebrate Wendy's birthday, Wendy Williams' birthday. That's always a fun time for you. You all right? Yeah, whatever happened with Wendy and all the whole thing? I thought Wendy was getting out, and there was a possibility that she was gonna. Wendy's still sitting up in that room,
Starting point is 01:16:55 listening to the radio right now. I thought she had an attorney, they were gonna get her out, everything was looking great, she started to go do dinners. It's like that story came and went, didn't it? We just kinda just disappeared. I have no idea. Lauren, you used to go there dinners and we just kind of just disappeared. I have no idea.
Starting point is 01:17:06 Well, Lauren, you used to go there all the time. What happened? Okay, so last night Wendy was out to dinner. Let's take a listen to Wendy out to dinner celebrate her birthday first and then we'll get into it. Nice. How you doing? Happy birthday, Wendy.
Starting point is 01:17:17 Thank you. Any plans for your birthday tomorrow? Celebrating with you. Yup, I'll be there. A great friend of mine for my show. Okay, what are you wishing for on your birthday? Out of guardianship. What do you plan on discussing at dinner? Hi, Wendy! What to eat? Hey, girl! This is my attorney and that's my friend right there too. All right, enjoy your dinner and happy birthday. Who's her attorney now? I don't recognize the man in the
Starting point is 01:17:42 video. I still reach out to Joe Takapina, but you know, he wasn't the attorney in the guardianship. It was just her personal attorney. I'm not for sure, but she is with Suzanne, who used to be the producer of the Wendy Williams Show. That's the only person I recognized in this video with her. Now you guys have questions of where things are and what's happening? Very hard for me to find out now because after the whole media storm and all the things and Wendy speaking out, remember the judge got really upset at her and made her restrictions very much so
Starting point is 01:18:09 tighter when it came to talking to media and things of that nature. I've been trying since Mother's Day just to have like a more upbeat rapport with whoever her team is now. The last thing I was told, and this was from Joe Tecapino on Mother's Day, she didn't do anything. She sat in a room. She was very miserable. They were still waiting for certain things to happen
Starting point is 01:18:27 so that they could do what they need to do. They're still fighting, they're still trying, but that's all I could get. I tried to do the same thing in this instance and I haven't gotten an update on anything, but we did see Wendy out yesterday. I have no idea who's on Wendy's team now. She did call me to wish me a happy birthday
Starting point is 01:18:40 a couple weeks ago, but I have no idea who's on her team. How was she when you talked to her? She was fine. She just called to wish me a happy birthday.. Yeah, she changed like what it was like what is going on? I'm totally confused. She would call she would give us updates and the things just stop Well, I mean she's worth I think legally it got real. I think that's a part of it I'm telling you called me a couple weeks ago. She wished me me happy birthday, she said happy birthday, I'm still in this room, bye. And you was in- Oh no she did, she asked me where I was, that's it, just like that.
Starting point is 01:19:11 Okay, I gotta go. And you were in, um, what island was you on? Inguila. Oh my god. You'll say, okay, I gotta go. Yo, imagine, I'm still in this room, sorry, I'm in Inguila. Yeah, I gotta go. Damn.
Starting point is 01:19:24 Well, Amy, I basically... That is a crazy feeling, like when somebody call you from prison or they call you from a situation you know they don't want to be in, they don't want to be in, but you are living your life. And you call right before you hop on a jet ski. That's crazy. Yeah, I mean... I am so confused.
Starting point is 01:19:38 I thought Wendy was like almost home. Close to getting out, right? Yeah. Yep. You know, and I... Go ahead. We should get to go out and have a. Yep. You know and I go ahead We should get to go out and have a nice birthday dinner. Yeah, I was gonna say she's doing able to do that stuff and she you know That's all I got I don't seem like she's happy to be outside She always seems like you know, like she's like on her TV show again
Starting point is 01:19:59 Like when people run into her outside like she just loves the attention She loves when people stop and talk to her outside. Like she just loves the attention. She loves when people stop and talk to her. I saw something like a few, I think, few weeks ago or something like that. It was one of the young influencers or whatever. He was, he caught her outside and he was like, what do you have on? And she, like, you know, she was,
Starting point is 01:20:17 she loved that attention and she loves, it was, it was genuine energy. He didn't try to do no clownish to get click bait, you know, likes and stuff like that. He literally loved try to do no clown-ish to get clickbait, you know, likes and stuff like that. He literally loved talking to her and he just expressed how beautiful she looked and everything. I thought that was dope. She really liked that. Yes.
Starting point is 01:20:33 That was a long way to say happy birthday, Wendy. Because people want to know where Wendy is and what she's doing. That's my point. We just haven't heard from her in so long. She would call every week and then all of a sudden it just stopped. Yep. Well, if there's any updates, you know, we're closing off for the day.
Starting point is 01:20:47 I will be heading on over to the podcast, the latest with Lauren LaRosa. So make sure you guys check in and yeah, happy birthday, Wendy Williams. Happy birthday to Benzino and Vin Diesel. Word. You know, y'all leaving off these men. Why you say word?

Starting point is 01:21:10 Shalom, man, who you giving your donkey to, man? Well, you know, on Fridays we usually do the people's donkey, but today I got to talk about something. So I need Paramount and CBS to come to the front of the congregation. Would you like to have a word with them, please? Alright, we'll get to that next. Don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 01:21:22 Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never of the congregation. Would you like to have a word with them, please? All right, we'll get to that next. Don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. What's up?
Starting point is 01:21:30 What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? It's time for Donkey of the Day. There's a bunch of donkeys around here. What's up? What's up?
Starting point is 01:21:39 What's up? Yes, you are a donkey. What the hell? What the hell is? What the hell is? What the hell is? What more do you need me for? Some donkey today just saw himself. Charlemagne, give it to him.
Starting point is 01:21:52 Breakfast club all day. Give it to him. Oh man, Charlemagne, who you giving donkey to do tonight? You know Fridays are usually the people's donkey, but I need to talk to you all about something this morning. Donkey of the Day for Friday, July 18th goes to Paramount and CBS as a staff, TV network, and mother effing crew. Now let the record show I have made. I've had a lot of success, okay, with Paramount over the years. I've been rocking with them since 2013, 2014 when they was Viacom. Okay, from Guy Cole to all my late night talk shows, Charlamagne & Friends, Uncommon Sense, Hell of a Week, God's Honest Truth, whatever it was called, they have all been with Viacom
Starting point is 01:22:28 and Paramount. Okay, I make a lot of appearances on the Daily Show. In fact, I'll be on next week. All right, that's Paramount. So yes, they have provided me a lot of opportunity and still do. But Donkey of the Day does not discriminate. Not to mention, right is right and wrong is wrong. And what I witnessed yesterday is absolutely wrong.
Starting point is 01:22:43 Now, if you haven't heard, my guy, South Carolina Brejran Stephen Colbert informed his audience that CBS has cancelled The Late Show. Okay they cancelled The Late Show and this comes three days after him criticizing the network over their settlement. Their 16 million dollar settlement with Donald Trump. But yes starting in May of 2026 The Late Show will be canceled. Let's go to NBC News for the report, please. Some breaking news here in the entertainment world. The Late Show with Stephen Colbert ending next year with CBS retiring the late night franchise. Colbert taking to social media to announce that here it is. I want to let you know something that I found out just last night. Next year will be our
Starting point is 01:23:21 last season. The network will be ending the Late Show in May. CBS said the decision was purely financial quote against a challenging backdrop in late night. It is not related in any way to the show's performance, content or other matters happening at Paramount. It's worth noting Colbert has been critical of CBS's parent company, Paramount's decision to settle a lawsuit with President Trump. The show topped the ratings for the 1130 slot. Stephen Colbert has hosted The Late Show for nine years now. Purely a financial decision huh? Dear Paramount, lying about why you got rid of Colbert sounds like people in the Trump administration lying about why they wouldn't release the Epstein
Starting point is 01:23:59 files. Okay just complete foolishness and nonsense. Now the announcement of the late show's cancellation, as I said, follows Colbert's criticism of a settlement between President Donald Trump and Paramount Global, which is CBS's parent company. Paramount paid Trump $16 million to settle a lawsuit over edits to an October 2024 interview that CBS's 60 Minutes did with Kamala Harris. Colbert, just like Jon Stewart, has rightfully criticized this move. He called the settlement a big fat bribe. Let's listen to him address it on the Colbert show from a few days ago.
Starting point is 01:24:34 And my parent corporation Paramount paid Donald Trump a $16 million settlement over his 60 minutes lawsuits. As someone who has always been a proud employee of this network, I'm offended and I don't know if anything will ever repair my trust in this company. But just taking a stab at it, I'd say $16 million would help. This settlement, this settlement is for a nuisance lawsuit Trump filed claiming that 60 minutes deceptively edited their interview with then candidate Kamala Harris last fall. Paramount knows they could have easily fought it because in their own words the lawsuit was completely without merit. Unlike the payoffs from ABC and Twitter, Paramount settlement did not include an apology. Instead, that's good, instead the
Starting point is 01:25:18 corporation released a statement where they said, you may take our money but you will never take our dignity. You may, however, purchase our dignity for the low, low price of $16 million. We need the cash. Now, I believe this kind of complicated financial settlement with a sitting government official has a technical name in legal circles. It's Big Fat Bride. Because this all comes as Paramount's owners are trying to get the Trump administration to approve the sale of our network to a new owner
Starting point is 01:25:46 Come on, Skydance and some of the TV typers out there are blogging that once Skydance gets CBS The new owners desire to please Trump could put pressure on late-night host and frequent Trump critic Stephen Colbert Okay, okay, but how are they gonna put pressure on Stephen Colbert if they can't find him? It's so obvious that Paramount is doing this to appease Donald Trump. Let's not do this stupid thing we do in the media where we ask answers. Don't say things like, was this politically driven by Donald Trump? Come on, of course it was. Paramount needs to appease Trump so this merger with Skydance and Paramount can happen.
Starting point is 01:26:25 Paramount paid Trump $16 million for essentially no reason. The FCC launched an investigation into CBS after Trump's claims of bias editing. Even though CBS released full transcripts to prove accuracy, most folks who know a thing or two about legal issues said that the lawsuit bought by Donald Trump against Paramount should have been dismissed on First Amendment grounds but let's call it what it is. Paramount is looking for FCC approval for its Sky Dance merger. Trump can block that if he wants to so canceling Colbert is an obvious move to appease Donald Trump and I need to tell y'all something if you don't think we
Starting point is 01:26:59 are under a regime with an authoritarian strategy then you are bugging. This is textbook authoritarian rule. Target your critic, centralize power in a few hands, intimidate through punishment or removal, and you know what that usually does? Shuts people to f up. Titans control over public discourse, sends a message to all media outlets that criticism of Trump could cost you access, approval, editorial control, all your job. This is what authoritarian regimes do. They weaponize legal systems, the punish, dissent, and control messaging.
Starting point is 01:27:29 What happened with Paramount and Trump is intimidation tactics disguised as legitimate legal action. I thought this was the administration that didn't believe in censorship. I thought this was the administration that believed in free speech. They do, until you criticize them. Paramount and CBS should be ashamed of themselves
Starting point is 01:27:47 and you can't trust anything you see on Paramount, CBS moving forward. Did y'all even think about how this will impact any of your news programming? We the people already don't trust most news outlets in America, which is why the podcast and online business is booming because people with no corporate connections,
Starting point is 01:28:02 no corporate interests are able to speak freely even though they may be really misinformed but that's what people are going and that's who people are trusting because even though it might be misinformation it feels more honest. Okay we can't trust any news or opinion programming that comes from Paramount now they are obviously compromised. Well let me take that back one program you can still trust The Daily Show but after seeing what happened with Colbert how do we know the same thing won't happen to the great John Stewart and the gang at The Daily Show? Do you think John Stewart who shouldn't run for president in
Starting point is 01:28:34 2028 do you think he's gonna stop criticizing Paramount for settling with Trump? Huh? Do you think he's gonna have nothing to say about his friend Stephen Colbert being let go? What are you going to do Paramount? Are you going to bend the knee to authoritarian strategy again and suppress another outspoken critic of Trump? I know, I know Paramount has an 8 billion dollar merger with Skydance looming and y'all don't want Trump to stop it but is it worth losing all credibility and all trust with
Starting point is 01:29:04 your audience in the process? The answer to that should be no. I just want y'all to know when the highest rated show in late night is ended despite strong ratings, especially right after political criticism, it becomes a warning, okay? It becomes a warning, speak out and we will silence you.
Starting point is 01:29:21 That is textbook authoritarian strategy. Okay because it deters further criticism through the fear of retaliation. Okay make America North Korea, make America China, make America Russia. That's where we are if we live in a country where there is strategic silence within corporate our media power structures to limit dissent. Okay? When that happens, what's already happened, we are fully under authoritarian rule. Okay? This is not just a media story. It's a free speech funeral in slow motion. Paramount cut a 16 million dollar check to Donald Trump so they can get their
Starting point is 01:29:58 merger approved and keep the FCC off their backs. That's not business. That's extortion dressed up in a suit and tie. That's hush money for the truth. Stephen Colbert gets his show canceled after calling out the deal. That's not coincidence. That's consequence. That's what happens when you speak truth to power
Starting point is 01:30:15 in a country where the power don't wanna hear the truth. Please let Remy Ma give CBS Paramount the biggest hee-haw. Hee-haw, hee-haw. You stupid mother-fker, are you dumb? Nah, I'm supposed to be on The Daily Show next week. If that changes, I'll let y'all know. As you said it, I was like, maybe not. Maybe, maybe not.
Starting point is 01:30:37 Well, you know, it happens. Alright. Well, thank you for that, Dunkie, today, sir. Now something that's been all over the news and all over social media yesterday was about this CEO. He was at a Coldplay concert and they're saying he got caught cheating on his wife.

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 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.

No, she knew I was gonna be at the concert and she pulled up like straight away. Oh, cause she already knew what type of guy she had, she already knew what her husband was doing.

That's right man, all jokes aside,
Starting point is 01:45:09 there is nothing to be gained by cheating. If you make those vows to a person, respect those vows. I'm telling you this from a place of experience, I have made that mistake before, and nothing good comes from hurting the person you love, but everything good comes from doing right by the person you love.
Starting point is 01:45:23 I saw that video with that Coldplay dude yesterday and I just thought it was so corny and I just thought about all the anxiety and you know the fear that already exists in just the world right? Everyday life but when you add on things you know you ain't got no business doing, like cheating in that way, I just looked at him like, boy boy, I don't miss none of that. Court is all levels rising for no goddamn reason. Crazy. Because you wanna be in a Coldplay concert
Starting point is 01:45:53 hugged up with your side boo. But the craziest thing is you would think he would be like a young individual, but he was like 60 something. He should have learned a long time ago. He don't know, but he don't even realize we in a digital age, that everything is recorded. He tried to disappear. He really did.
Starting point is 01:46:06 He tried to disappear. He did. We can see you. I don't know. How? He was so comfortable. Damn. All right.
Starting point is 01:46:14 Well, when we come back, we got Pastor Aux with Nala. She'll be joining us. So don't go anywhere. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

Starting point is 01:47:58 Cortez Bryant told me about him about a year ago, but he has a freestyle that's been really going viral right now called Hungry Flow. See, the only thing I don't like about Pastor Aux, it'd be dope ass rappers like that that exist and you don't tell me. Why I gotta hear it till here? You just send me that stuff.
Starting point is 01:48:12 Now I gotta hear it here and you know I'm gonna forget. Okay, okay, that's on me, I got you. He's dope. He was just triggered just now, okay?

He sounds like he got an AI girlfriend though. When he said this don't have to be the real thing to feel like it, it's like, nah, bro, that pocket f***ing feel like the real thing.
Starting point is 01:49:28 First of all, Yo, an AI girlfriend is crazy. That's what you took away from that line? I did. Crazy. Man, people do that every day with real people all the time. Oh, okay. Yes. I know you're happily married, but,
