That was pretty good. And I lost track of time. Yeah, no, that was pretty good. It's real good. Did you get your rest? Because I know we've been out the last couple of days. Yes. So well rested.

Yep, I slept as soon as I got home. Then I got back up. Mm-hmm. Did some little work around the house. Went back to sleep. Woke up this morning. I woke up so early, so I started watching the interview. And then I got so lost in the interview, I lost track of time.

Yeah, but you feel refreshed. I feel amazing. Oh, you and me.

store. So, if you think about it, it's kind of like a foot action. And the tri-state area, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut store. So if you think about it, it's kind of like a foot action. And the reason I'm mentioning that is because she actually gave The Breakfast Club their first photo shoot. It's fire, right? Full circle moment.

Yeah, yeah. So she also worked at The Source magazine. So we're going to be talking to her in a little bit. And this morning, ask C&E. So if you need relationship advice

When we come back, we got front page news. A lot went on yesterday and Morgan will be breaking it down.

So don't go anywhere. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Lauren LaRosa filling in for Jess. And let's get in some front page news.

Good morning, Morgan. Good morning. I wish it was a good morning. Unfortunately, we have some bad news to share. Law enforcement is confirming four people are dead and at least nine are in the hospital after an active shooter event at a Georgia high school. So it happened yesterday, Wednesday at Appalachee High School in Winder, about 50 miles northeast of Atlanta and just west of Athens, Georgia. Now, the suspect is in custody. He's a 14-year-old student, or I'm not sure if it's a he, but I believe it's a 14-year-old student at the school.

Georgia Bureau of Investigation Director Chris Hossie described the incident. Let's hear more from him. Of those that are deceased, two are students and two are teachers here at the school. Within minutes, law enforcement was on scene, as well as two school resource officers assigned here to the school, who immediately encountered the subject within just minutes of this report going out. Once they encountered the subject, the subject immediately surrendered to these officers and he was taken into custody. It's so damn sad.

It's very sad. We're still dealing with school shootings in a middle school like that. Like, this is crazy. Borough County Sheriff Judd Smith also said this shooter surrendered to a resource officer inside the school and he also called the shooting an act of pure evil. the shooting did unfold just as classes got underway um this incident this

student was inside when gunfire erupted let's hear more from the student witness i know my teacher i know he got shot i know one of my friend's friends got shot in the leg i thought i was gonna die and i was to go to the bathroom right before it happened. And I'm so glad I didn't because I would probably be dead right now if I did. I heard gunshots. And then my teacher told us to get in the corner. And then they were clearing this. I heard like screaming.

Isn't that sad that you just think that you can't even get up to use the restroom? Just to have to hear a little baby. Like that's a baby talking about. I thought I was going to die. Yeah, it's absolutely sad. So the White House says enough is enough. They're responding, of course, to the shooting when it comes to school shootings. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre addressed reporters yesterday.

Let's hear those comments from KJP. I want to let you know that the president and the vice president have both been briefed and his administration will continue coordinating with federal, state and local officials as we receive more information. We cannot allow this to happen in our communities. We cannot allow this to happen in our schools. We need universal background checks. We need ban to ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, require safe storage of firearms, invest in violence prevention programs,

and pass a national red flag law. So we have to do everything that we can to keep our children safe, to keep the people who are supposed to protect our children, who are they supposed to learn from safe. And enough is enough. Congress needs to act. We're grateful for the brave first responders who are on the scene. And we stand by, we stand ready to provide support as needed i mean she's right listen i'm i'm 2a all day right but i do believe in a common sense gun reform but the reality is you're never going to get any common sense gun reform in this country as long as these senators are taking money from pro-gun lobbyists like the nra the nra has these senators in a chokehold

these pro-gun groups own these senators and there will never be any real common sense gun reform as long as these senators are owned by these pro-gun groups like the NRA. But this one, you know, this kid was 14. It was an AR style weapon. So that means he had to get it from we think probably his house, right? So that weapon should have been locked up where he couldn't have access to it. So he

couldn't get to it. Even if you are 2A all day and you own weapons, you try to make it so your kids can't get to your weapons. They just't you know like on mine i have fingerprints on my safe so my kids can't access any of the gun safes because they can't you know their fingerprints won't work so we just got to find out how this this young kid got this ar style weapon how he was able to to take it to school how you know it's a lot of questions of how it's one thing to get access to it but then also to know how to operate it or uh not necessarily knowing you know it's a lot of questions of how it's one thing to get access to it but then also to know how to operate it or uh not necessarily knowing you know completely knowledgeable but

you know there should be also locks on it in a sense like safeties and other things and that you know there's sure but also who needs to own measures who needs to own an ar style weapon like you don't need to own an ar style weapon that's the whole point of what she was saying when you know certain guns need to be banned that's one of the guns't need to own an AR-style weapon. That's the whole point of what she was saying when, you know, certain guns need to be banned. Like, that's one of the guns that need to be banned. And speaking of background checks, I saw the reports that he had been on the FBI's radar in 2023. He had actually been interviewed. The 14-year-old.

He was 13 at the time. He had been interviewed because the FBI had received, like, anonymous tips about some threats he had made online. So they interviewed him a year ago. So people were like, how the hell? I don't know what that process is, but maybe there should have been some eyes on him, some follow-ups. Because when you get released

from prison, if the FBI is interviewing you at 13, that's crazy. That means maybe there shouldn't be any weapons in that house. If they're interviewing at 13, there definitely shouldn't be no ARs hey maybe there shouldn't be any weapons in that house if they're interviewing at 13 yeah definitely shouldn't be no ar style weapons all right yeah all right yeah we'll talk more about it and we'll hear what uh vice president kamala harris had to say on the other side um in the next hour also uh trump weighed in on the shooting as well. All right. Thank you, Morgan. We'll see you next hour. Sure.

Everybody else, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, phone lines are wide open. Again, 800-585-1051. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. I'm darling.

I'm darling. Hey, what you doing, man? I'm darling. I'm calling you. This is your time to get it off your chest Whether you're mad or blessed 800-585-1051 We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club Hello, who's this? This is Greg, calling from Clinton, North Carolina

Hey, what's up, brother? Get it off your chest Hey, man, um This is about, um, this is about, you know, in America Stuff like that, um I mean, I think kids I mean, people should be young problems in America and stuff like that. I mean, I think kids, I mean, people should be allowed to have sons and stuff like that. You know, that's the second thing to like, you know, in training. And I know that, you know, I train my kids at a young age to use firearms because we live in a country and stuff like that. But, I mean, the parents should be able to watch their kids and, like, know what's going on.

And the little boy probably got a gun probably three or four years ago for a Christmas present, man, practicing with it and everything, you know. But when he got mad, like, or whatever, you know, and said some stuff about shooting up the school or whatever, you know, the parents should have been on top of things. So I feel like the parents should be accountable for what the child does. Like, man, in a case like that, it was fine for over a year ago, but now he goes and does it, you know. They should have took the guns or whatever if they thought it was going to be accountable for what the child does. Like, man, in a case like that, it was fine for over a year ago. But now he goes and does it.

You know, they should have put the guns or whatever if they thought it was going to be a problem. Oh, yeah, I'm sure that they are probably going to hold the parents accountable. Remember, we saw that other case where the parents got held accountable. That was in Virginia, I think, right? I forgot where it was. Where the kid took the gun and committed a mass shooting. I'm sure the parents are going to be held accountable.

But like I keep saying, man, i'm a 2a all day but i just don't see why people need weapons of war in their house if they're not planning to go to war yeah no i agree what's the point yeah ar-15 or any type of a thing where you could have multiple multiple multiple magazines with multiple multiple bullets and ammunition i don't think no need to have weapons of war if you're not planning on going to war those guns are are created to kill, you know, multiple amounts of people at one time. Right. So if you're not planning on killing multiple amounts of people at one time, why do you have these weapons? Yeah, you're right.

Hello, who's this? This is Sheila. Hey, Sheila. Good morning. Good morning. Hi, DJ Amy. Hi, Charlamagne. Hi, Lauria.

How you guys doing today? Peace, peace, peace. I mean, Lauria. Yeah. Hey, Lauria. I'm sorry. I was just thinking about the mass shooting. Don't we think it's time that we start putting the parents in jail for not locking up their guns?

Yeah. Yeah. It's ridiculous. That's happening, though. I mean, there's been. Let me look up the case. Yeah. The Michigan school shooting.

It was one in Michigan. Michigan. Yeah. Yeah. Parents were sentenced to 10 years. And I think more parents. Yeah. been let me look up the case yeah the michigan school shooting it was one in michigan yeah yeah more parents that start being held responsible locking up their guns um for not locking up their guns i think they should go to jail that's all i want to say this morning i just think we should you know what she's locking up the parents the problem is and i kept i keep hearing that they're gonna make this they'll make a make a firearm with a fingerprint on the actual trigger. And the reason why I say that is a lot of people don't lock up their guns because they feel like if somebody runs up in their house to rob them, it's going to be hard to open up that safe and get to it, especially pitch black at night.

So a lot of people don't lock up their guns for that simple reason but if there was some type of fingerprint on the trigger where it could actually you know you can you can set it for maybe you or your wife or whatever it may be that's why people a lot of people don't lock up their firearms oh if you're not how about if you're not home lock up your firearms right i'm sure this little 13 year old yeah this 13 year old 14 year old kid didn't go in his parents room when they were home and just take the ar and walk out the house you know what i'm saying ar is just totally different i mean you can see that. I mean, for a while, it's just disgusting. But thank you for calling, Sheila.

No, you have a good day. You too, man. Yeah, it was Michigan. The case of James Crumbly, you know, that's the guy who killed four students at his high school in 2021, and those parents got 10 years. I thought that one child in Virginia that shot his teacher, I thought they charged his parents as well. If I can remember. I don't remember.

Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. It's a new day. This is your time to get it off your chest.

800-585-1051 Now we got Jess with the mess with Law and La Rosa coming up. What are we talking about? We do. We are getting into the Marlon Wayans interview on Club Shay Shay. Okay. Alright. We'll talk about that when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning everybody. It's DJ Envy Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha God.

We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to Jess with the mess with Lauren LaRosa. News is real, web. Jess Hilarious, Jessica Robin Moore. Jess don't do no lying. She don't spare nobody. Worldwide Jess, worldwide mess. On The Breakfast Club. She's the coach of shoes. With Lauren, Lauren LaRosa.

I'm back. And I got the mess. Don't talk to me. Marlon Wayans sat down with Shannon Sharp for Club Shea Shea. And he got into a lot of the Wayans family history, which is always a good listen. He talks about a lot of the Wayans family history, which is always a good listen. He talks about a lot of different things. Let's get into the first clip where he talks about his family leaving and living color. We left and living color because Fox was syndicating the show when it was curtain keenest pockets.

And Keenan was like, nah, you ain't going to do this to me. And my family said, fuck this money. And we all left in Living Color. There's an episode of Living Color where we got black shades on. It's a Christmas episode. Jamie Foxx is singing. And me and my family got black glasses on. And we sitting there like this as a family.

Because we protesting. And we going, you ain't going to f*** my brother. We a family. You touch one, you touch all. Your money, I'm sorry. They was offering us big checks. $70,000 checks to stay on that show. I'm still a brother after this. No. on you touch all your money i'm sorry they bet they was offering us big checks seventy thousand dollar checks to stay on that show i'm still a brother after this no i'm gonna support my brother

and we all left the show and that's why season five it got weird it got bismarcky and god bless chris rock he came at the wrong time but as brilliant as he is he couldn't save it because the eyes of the show is gone. Nobody needs a six part documentary more than the Wayans family. Keenan Harvey Wayans is a god and should always be treated as such. Drop on the clues bombs for the Wayans brothers. Wayans family. For real.

And then so speaking of getting weird, he also talked about Harvey Weinstein, because if you remember, Harvey Weinvey weinstein's company backed uh maramax um so when they when the wayans family was doing all of the scary movies they were working with weinstein through that process and they had some hiccups in that relationship as well too let's take a listen we pitch white chicks to five other places everybody bid so then they come go okay we're gonna come over the top and we're going to pay you. I think it was like a 20 against 20 deal or whatever. And what you got that on the second one? 22 against 22.

No. We was like, no. And they took the idea and I was like, oh, f*** you. So they took the idea. They hired the Zucker Brothers and they brought them on to do Scary Movie 3 based on the idea that we told them. You got that one off. Part four. Didn't do as well.

You don't know the formula. But God is everywhere. Right? So we didn't retaliate. We did nothing with it like this. You didn't file a lawsuit like he did. We should have. We should have.

We gone, made our money, white chicks, made another classic. This little man made another classic. We do our thing. Right. Fast forward to, you know, sometimes you ain't got to do nothing. Because God's going to do it all. God's revenge. When God comes for you you gotta trust god so he's saying all that stuff happened to harvey because harvey stole scary movies um yeah basically he's saying that that was a part of

i mean not just because that was a part of the karma right i'm glad marlon feels like that but the reality is if harvey did that to the williams brothers he did that to a lot of other people yeah and if we want to talk about karma I believe 11 counts of rape will ultimately catch up to you faster than stealing scary movie well I think he was just speaking to the fact of Harvey uh from what he experienced yeah he's not a good person when you're not a good person because Shannon was asking him like did did you guys sue him like y'all should have and he was like we should have but no we didn't and he was saying like they didn't do it and they sat back and Harvey was just doing a lot of people dirty in a lot of different ways and it all caught up yep um now finally the last clip that we have is um Marlon talking about the Wayans and how they are like the originators of the halftime show for the Super

Bowl Keenan and Eric Gold and those guys came up with the idea to do the halftime show because they had marching bands playing. And Kenan was like, they got with Doritos and I think Pepsi, somebody else, and they was like, we're going to steal the audience. And Living Color was at its biggest. And it was like, we're going to take that audience and bring them to a special living color halftime show.

All the viewers scattered, left the Super Bowl, went to Fox, watched this hilarious live and living color episode. Damon got in some trouble. Yeah. So we stole the audience. And the next year. Damn, Mike. They was like, y'all ain't never doing that again. And they paid the biggest star in the world to come do the halftime show.

You know, this is why when you have those historic stories like that, you got to keep telling them over and over. Yes. Because it's always new to someone. That's right. I've heard that story a million times. It's new to a lot of people. To a new generation.

They're like, oh, I didn't know that. Yep. Now, speaking of Marlon telling his story, y'all remember a few weeks ago we had talked about the back and forth between Vlad, Vlad TV, and Marlon. Because Vlad had reached out to Marlon to do a sit down interview. Marlon said, OK, I'll do it. But here's my price. It's 40K. And Vlad got on Twitter and talked about how well after the Aries Spirits interview where he brought it up there, he then got on Twitter and was having a conversation about how he thought that was crazy because marlon wayans typically on any according to vlad on any platform he's on and the numbers at the time for what we could see for some of marlon's recent interviews would only do 100 to maybe 300 000 views on these platforms and it wouldn't make

sense for vlad money wise because of what marlon was asking for right with marlon at what the number at with club on club shea marlon is at 1.3 million and 18 hours for the full interview and they've uh started pulling out clips. So there'll be some more numbers added to that. Now, to put this in context, I want to compare it to Shayna Sharpe's last two interviews, which was Tyrese and John Cena. Tyrese hit 3.1 million in seven days. And John Cena hit 2.1 million in two weeks. So, I mean, Club Shea Shea is a place to go to, you know what I mean, right now.

So the numbers are going to number. But for Marlon to hit 1.3 in 18 hours, I think Vlad missed out. I think that it speaks to the people still wanting to hear these historical TV entertainment moments from Marlon, who is, you know, Marlon is still relevant, but the Wayans family, what they've done,

like the institution of that, is a big deal. Well, if Vlad didn't know that already he's hearing you say it now and Marlon is petty I'm guaranteeing guaranteeing Marlon's gonna let Vlad know uh at some point on social media today the next 24 hours yeah I'm sure today yeah and Vlad before this uh Shannon Sharp interview Vlad had DJ Academics on his platform and he did apologize for how he handled the situation which was whack by coming on Twitter and all that he said he had respect for Marlon whatever but yes Marlon's numbers are doing their numbering over at over on

club Shay Shay so now moving on Naomi Campbell Anna Wintour got into a little fashion week tis let's take a listen really quick i want to say this everything's meant to work out the man's going to work out it wasn't my choice to have the other lady i'd much rather have this so she said everything that's supposed to work out for me is going to work out it wasn't my choice to have the other lady i'd much rather have this and what she's supposed to work out for me is going to work out. It wasn't my choice to have the other lady. I'd much rather have this. And what she's speaking to when she says this is, Naomi Campbell was at the Harlem Fashion Row Style Awards, and she was going to be receiving the Fashion Icon Award.

The award was supposed to be given to her by Anna Wintour. Anna Wintour went on stage and opened it because she said Naomi Campbell was late. Called it an N-word. Okay, continue. She said Naomi Campbell was late. Called it an N-word. Naomi Campbell came up after, and she said Naomi Campbell was late. Call her the N-word. Okay, continue. She said Naomi Campbell was late. Call her the N-word. Naomi Campbell came up after, and she said, look, I was a little, uh, I'm here, like it's happening. What did Naomi say at first?

What was the first line she said? What did she say? Ready to play it back? Just the first line. On a presentation tonight to someone who is often late. No, Naomi. Her and Anna call her the N-word.

I want to know you did it. Yes, you did. Everything's meant to work out for me. It's meant to work out. It wasn't my choice to have the other lady. I'm not glad I have this. That's Naomi. Whatever the first word Naomi said, she called her a bitch.

So Anna called her the N-word. I mean, it's Naomi. Naomi said, bitch. And then she said, whatever the way it's supposed to work out. Naomi going to give it to you how you throwing it she don't care who you are and now to clarify

Naomi Campbell's people are coming out and they're clarifying that Naomi was not late she was given a time to be there and she showed up at that time

however what they are saying is that Anna Wintour had plans after she was trying to make her way to the US Open so they moved up the presentation slot to an earlier time Anna Wintour set her a little part after she was trying to make her way to the u.s open so they moved up the presentation slot um

to an earlier time and then went to her did set her a little part and then she left because people were like oh this is real shady because anna winter didn't even stay for the presentation but naomi wasn't late and went to her early and went to her handed off the presentation to a harper's bazaar editor-in-chief who presented to naomi when she says i would much rather have this she's saying i would much rather have been presented this award by the Harper's Bazaar editor. But explain the sad thing because the sad thing

is this is supposed to be all about black fashion. It's supposed to be all about like, yes, black fashion and iconic black fashion moments and people in black fashion and now we got, we done had to pull

Naomi Campbell back out of her bag from back in the day. Like, don't play with her. Has anybody ever seen Anna Wintour's eyes? I've never. Wait, yes,

she be taking her glasses off for a time. I ain't never seen her with her shades off. Nah, she always got her Stevie Wonder going on. How y'all know Anna Wintour's eyes? I've never. Wait, yes. She be taking her glasses off for a time. I ain't never seen her with her shades off. Nah, she always got her shades on. She always got her Stevie Wonder going on. How y'all know Anna Wintour

not blind, but y'all taking her advice on fashion? She saw that Naomi Campbell, well, no, she didn't see Naomi Campbell was late, because according to Naomi Campbell,

she wasn't late. Y'all taking her advice on fashion, and she blind. No, no, look, she got her glasses off right here.

Glasses off right here. All right, well, that is just with the mess with Lawn LaRosa. I like my story better. All right, now, that is just with the mask with La Rosa. All right. I'm a Rosa.

I said La Rosa. You know, it's La Rosa. People think I'm like Spanish or something like Dominican or something because you say La Rosa. First, she's Lauren London

the Delaware Nunu. Now, she's Spanish. You got to cut this out. People are always like that's not your real name because you're not like Dominican or something.

I'm like, it's Rosa. My grandmother's name is Rosa. It's Lo Rosa. Oh, that's black. Not Rosa. Okay, now I know. Lauren La Rosa.

It's very niggish. Yes. So why you be saying La Rosa? I say Lauren La Rosa. Y'all say Lauren La Rosa. I don't say Lauren La Rosa. Now this make more sense. I say Lauren La Rosa.

Thank you. There you go. Yeah. Put some cotton fields on my name. I like that. Put some respect on my name. Okay. All right.

When we come back, we got front page news. This is The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Wake up. Wake up. You're locked into The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilaria, Charlamagne Tha Guy.

We are The Breakfast Club. Lauren La Rosa is filling in for Jess. And let's get in some front page news. What's up, Morgan? Yeah, we're still talking about this shooting, the school shooting out of Georgia at Appalachee High School in Borough County. So the 14-year-old Colt Gray is his name. He will be tried as an adult for allegedly opening fire and killing four victims at Appalachee High School in Borough County. Now, the FBI did confirm, as Lauren mentioned in the last hour, that investigators

were called to his home after an online threat with an image of guns were anonymously reported back in May of 2023. Now, the agency says there was no probable cause at the time for an arrest. Vice President Kamala Harris, she's weighing in on the school shooting in Georgia, calling it outrageous that parents have to worry about their children's safety while they're at school. Let's hear more from Vice President Harris. It's senseless. We've got to stop it. And we have to end this epidemic of gun violence in our country once and for all. It doesn't have to be this way. It doesn't have to be this way. But our kids are sitting in a classroom where they should be fulfilling their God-given potential. And some part of their big, beautiful brain is concerned about a shooter busting through the

door of the classroom. Yeah. Yes. It's very scary. I mean, I got six kids, you know, five of them are still in school. So, I mean, it's very scary. One starts today. She's back in school today. And it's just, it makes you, it's nervous. Every time you get a text, every time you see a phone rings and it's the school, the first thing you do is you worry. And I mean, and.

Especially during school hours. Yes. Yes. And these are young kids. Like, it's not even like, you know, it's not even like these kids are like 17. These are young 13 year old kids. Yes. And these are young kids. It's not even like these kids are like 17. These are young 13-year-old kids. Yep. So the Democratic presidential nominee,

Vice President Kamala Harris, of course, she spoke on the school shooting while holding a campaign event in New Hampshire. She added that gun violence is one of the major issues of this election. Now, meanwhile, former President Trump, he briefly touched on the shooting at the high school in Georgia,

and he also questioned the fairness of next week's debate. Trump also addressed statements that he and his running mate, J.D. Vance, were weird or are weird. Let's hear more from former President Trump. I agreed to do it because they wouldn't do any other network. The other thing is her best friend is the head of the network. Her husband's best friend is married to the head of the network. And they're going to get the questions. Well, it's a sick and angry world for a lot of reasons.

And we're going to make it better. We're going to heal our world. We're going to get rid of all these wars that are starting all over the place. J.Dd is not weird he's a solid rock i happen to be a very solid rock we're not weird we're other things perhaps but we're not weird if you have to say you're not weird you're probably weird what network is he talking about abc so yes um uh he during a town hall event with fox news trump called abc news dishonest and while also saying Vice President Harris

would be getting her questions in advance. So Kamala Harris' best friend is the head of ABC? When did that happen? I'm not privy to that information. So yeah, but the town hall saw Trump stick to

most of the same talking points as he has across his campaign events, including immigration, the economy, and tax cuts. Both campaigns have finally agreed to the ground rules set forth by ABC, which will be hosting the debate, which is at this point less than a week away. That'll be next Wednesday. Now, Trump had previously threatened to back out of that debate

after Harris's team objected to the rules about muted microphones. Harris's campaign argued she will be fundamentally disadvantaged by the muted microphones because they will serve as a shield to Donald Trump from direct exchanges with the vice president. Now, however, on Wednesday, Harris's team agreed to the despite that, though, her team has agreed to the condition saying they don't want to jeopardize the debate. So, yeah, so the debate is going on less than a week away next Wednesday on ABC. That is the September 11th. And so the microphones will be muted. Yes, they will be.

I don't think they should be muted. I think that they should be open. And the reason I think that they should be open is because, you know, the vice president is going to have Trump so frazzled simply because she knows what she's talking about. And he doesn't. And he's just going to be lying. So all he's going to be able to do is over talk her, insult her, you know, over try to overpower her. Keep the mics open so he can look like a madman. You want him to look insane.

He is going to look insane. Regardless, he's going to have the faces on him. But keep the keep the mics open. Let him over-talk. Let him insult. Let him overpower so the American people can see that and be like, this is what y'all want? They might want that. But, you know, I think you mute the mics.

That way you can hear what she's saying. When she's talking about policies and things that's important, you can actually hear it. Because if not, like you said, he's going to be going rampant. Well, let's switch gears to some more positive, positive news. You know, week one of the NFL kicks off tonight. The action kicks off between the defending Super Bowl champions, the Kansas City Chiefs. They begin their quest for a three-peat,

something no team in the NFL has ever done. They'll be taking on the Baltimore Ravens, my Ravens, at Arrowhead Stadium at home in Kansas City. Of course, the Ravens finished last season with the top seed after going 13-4 but failed to defend home field after failing to the Chiefs in the AFC Championship game. We're going to bust y'all ass on the 22nd, Morgan. Oh, okay. Oh, aye.

My Dallas Cowboys, Cowboys versus Ravens, 425 p.m. September 22nd. DeLulu, if DeLulu was a person. He says this every year. Now he's going to say that they're going to make it to the Super Bowl and they're going to win the Super Bowl. Go ahead. Go ahead. You talk about my delusion all the time.

Go ahead. I'm glad you said it for me. See? Dallas Cowboys. Yeah, you definitely delusion. I will say this, though. One story that I'm really excited to see is Buffalo Bills safety, DeMar Hamlin. He's going to be in the starting lineup with his team's season opener against the Arizona Cardinals.

You remember he suffered cardiac arrest in a Monday night football game last year. I believe that was in Ohio. They were playing Cincinnati. But yes, he suffered cardiac arrest during that Monday night football game last year. And so it'll be cool to see Hamlin get back out on the field and actually get into some football action. So I'm excited about football. It'll be quite the little bit of a silver lining with all of this drama going on.

Thank you, Morgan. Simone Amelia Jordan will be joining us. She has a new book. Tell us she's dreaming. Now, Simone was the first person to put us in, I guess, like a print ad for Dr. J's. It was the first major photo shoot the Breakfast Club ever did. When she used to work at Dr. J's back in the day, she did a whole photo shoot. And she had us dressed like the characters from the actual movie breakfast club breakfast club she also was

uh working at the source at one time worked at the source magazine she's just a very dope person man so uh we'll be talking to her about her new book right when we come back so don't move it's the breakfast club good morning the breakfast club morning everybody it's dj nv just hilarious The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Lauren LaRose is filling in for Jess. And we've got a special guest in the building. We have Simone Amelia Jordan. Welcome back.

Oh, thank you so much. I'm so excited to be here. I'm really happy to be with you, Simone. You're a hip-hop journalist, personality, fashion brand, photographer. I'm an immigrant. We get the job done, as they say. What can I say? Now an author.

Yes. Like you, I'm trying to get on your level. Yeah, I've always, I think I've got undiagnosed ADHD, as they say. I've always been driven by hip-hop in everything that I do, which hasn't been easy coming from a country where hip-hop isn't respected that much tell us about that too tell us about growing up in Australia with hip-hop how big was it was it easy it started way before Iggy um was that Iggy's she didn't say she wasn't a part of the problem uh well you know it's funny when I met Iggy I did

Iggy's first on-camera interview for drjays.com. And I initially thought, I'm not going to like this girl because she kind of represents everything that I have fought against my whole career. Yeah. A pretty white girl coming in and like, I wanted to know how genuine she was and authentic to the roots of the art form and paying respect to its black and brown founders. But I've got this mama vibe and I felt very protective over her when I met her. And then obviously her career skyrocketed and we didn't keep in touch. I like Diggy. I was about to say, she loved what she did. And whatever the feedback and response to that was is out of her control.

Right. But she genuinely loved what she was doing. So growing up in Australia with hip hop is it's tough. We have our incredible First Nations Aboriginal community who embraced it from very early on. I'm Lebanese background, like a lot of Arab Australians embraced it very early on. But we never got the respect it was very similar to the states but our minorities are even smaller we're like smaller minorities in a majority white country and so it never got the respect that it deserved it still

doesn't to this day get the respect that it deserves um even there like they don't have their own scene there like well funnily enough It has a very small scene But it's run by white people still And coming back after living in New York For a decade And achieving what I did And ended up at the Source magazine Becoming the content director

When I came home Because I got very sick I got Crohn's disease And got really sick Trying to keep up with the Joneses In New York for 10 years So I came home And everyone was like Oh you're going to be the top of it.

When you get home, you're going to get every job. You'll be at the radio stations. I still don't get, the doors are still closed to me because the only hip hop and R&B radio station in Australia has only two live shows and both are hosted by blonde white women. Wow. Yeah. I felt more accepted here here i felt more accepted when i got to new york i was like these are my people this is home because i'm a hustler obviously like

you said i've got a million a million gigs um and that's what the story of the book is about it's about like chasing your dreams even though you get all these doors closed in your face it's my love letter to this music genre that i think a lot of people forget has changed the world. And it's changed the world in so many ways. And I've always been very vocal about paying tribute to its black founders. And a lot of people don't do that enough, I think. So that book is the love letter to that. In its purest form, hip-hop brings people together.

Oh, in its purest form, hip-hop brings people together. Oh, in its purest form, it has taught me and so many other kids around the world to be proud of myself, too. Like, I recognized the pro-black consciousness when I was a kid in the late 80s. And I'm like, their self-empowerment made me feel pride in being Middle Eastern at a time when stereotypes were rampant. And I was really being taught by the movies i was watching in the media i was saying to hate myself and to think of myself in a negative way and i'm like no no no public enemy telling me fight the power you know so i can't even begin to describe what black people in the united states have done for marginalized kids around the world in terms of our own pride.

What did your family think about when you found out this love for hip hop? Because even in the States here, when hip hop first came around, everybody thought it was going to be fatty. They thought it was going to be quick. They thought it was just some hippity hop. But it caught on. So what was your family like? My family loved it. I was raised by a single mother and by my grandmother, too.

So a very matriarchal family. And my mom loves hip hop. My mom's a rebel. my grandmother too so very matriarchal family and my mom loves hip-hop like my mom i think reckoned my mom's a rebel so she recognized that kind of rebellious fight the power instinct that it has and i started rapping at nine that's the first chapter in the book but i very quickly realized that was not my role and so i think we all started rapping here i think do you think i was a rap person just We all dreamed a little. I think you should.

I think I should drop a mixtape. Well, that's another thing. Like women's empowerment has been a really big theme in my career. I did an all female mixtape back around those days, 2011 called Woman on Top with really early verses from Iggy. Rhapsody was on there really early. I had a Reebok sneaker come out in 2012 where we did this freestyle thing and it's on YouTube and like it's a really young rap city and who else was on it? Ty Phoenix, like all these female rappers, Brianna Perry at the time. Brianna.

Yeah, remember Brianna? Yeah. black women for me was very important too like i'm very respectful of the culture and i know that i'm a guest in the culture but i also know that i have something to contribute as an international kind of representative of it too what inspired you to go from uh doing like i guess hip-hop journalism to writing a whole memoir well i've always been very careful about telling the stories that i feel black journalists should tell so i'm, I can tell a memoir because it's my story, right? So I thought that would be a good place to start on a book journey. And I had always thought about writing my memoir, but I thought my story was so singular

and very rare that it might not connect to a lot of people. But as I was writing it, I'm like, oh, my God, there are a lot of themes here that especially for young women, I'm talking about, like, racism, classism, sexism, being groomed as a teenager because I wanted to be on radio and I wanted to be a journalist so badly, getting taken advantage of by, like, an older guy in the industry who was dangling carrots. Like, these things happen to women in the industry.

They're very prevalent and so as i'm telling this story i'm like wait a minute these themes are going to resonate so i kept forging ahead i entered a contest actually during covid it's called the ritual prize for writers and i thought i'm not going to win this because publishing again like every other industry in australia is very white they're not going to understand the story But I ended up beating like Almost a thousand entries And I won the Ritual Prize And then they offered me the book deal

And the book came out in Australia About a year ago And it's just come out Just this week in the States So I think there's a lot in there For fans of hip hop And people that are living between cultures To relate to

Alright we got more with simone amelia jordan when we come back don't move it's the breakfast club good morning everybody it's dj envy jess hilarious charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club lauren larosa filling in for jess we're still kicking it with simone amelia jordan she's a journalist she was a content director of the source also dr jay's right now she has a book out called Tell Her She's Dreaming. Charlamagne? Why the title Tell Her She's Dreaming? And then also every chapter has a dream.

Yeah. I realized when I was writing the book that dreaming was a very prevalent theme in my life. Like I even went through my old magazines that I had issues that I had edited. And I was speaking in the editor's letter about chasing this dream that felt impossible as a kid from the other side of the world to come to New York and work in hip-hop. Yeah, dreams have been really prevalent in my life. My mother was a dreamer, is a dreamer. She wanted to be in the circus, God bless her, her whole life. But my grandmother was very soul to the earth. She raised seven kids on her own basically and worked three jobs and so I had the really kind of down-to-earthness of my grandmother mixed with the dreaming of my mom and I think that

made me able to achieve those dreams right because you can't have dreams without work ethic and also in Australia there's a very famous movie called The Castle it's a very Australian movie and there's a very famous Australian saying and it's tell him he's dreaming which is like you know tell him he's dreaming it's very like, you know, tell him he's dreaming. It's very, it's very awkward Australian, which is like you're having yourself on, right? Like you can't be serious. You're bugging. You're bugging.

That's exactly what it is. You're bugging. That's right. Thank you for the translation. You're bugging. And so I made it feminine. So I made it tell her she's dreaming because my whole career I've been told this will never happen. You know, like who are you to think that you're going to get there? her she's dreaming because my whole career I've been told this will never happen you know like

who are you to think that you're going to get there and I grew up reading the source and I ended up being the content director of my favorite magazine ever um so I achieved those dreams and I'm very proud of that what's left what what are you still dreaming about what do you still want to accomplish oh if anything at all I am dreaming of I've shifted into more of a mentor role. That's very important to me, as we can see with the book. My heart is kind of still in New York, which is tough. You want to come back to New York? I feel like I'm living in two places. I feel like I belong here career-wise, but now I'm married and I have a six-year-old beautiful daughter.

Shout out to my beautiful family. I think they're listening online from Sydney. I don't know what time it is right now. And your family's from Australia? No, my husband's from new york but i met him in australia oh wow yeah life life is crazy he i lived in harlem for 10 years he's from harlem and i met him when i moved back to australia what the hell was he doing in australia uh he had jobs there um like he used to play basketball but he lived in australia for long time. He'd lived there like 15 years when I met him. And so, yeah, life is you never know what's around the corner.

But for me next, I'm kind of open to whatever happens next. Like I'm consulting and mentoring and I'm writing more. Actually, I have an essay coming out soon. An essay? Like an op-ed? Yeah, I'm writing about hip hop in Palestine. Yeah, yeah. so uh you talk about that a lot on instagram yeah i know we talk about it charlamagne and i um which i appreciate

how open-minded you are about everything and i just want to give you a special shout out on air for even allowing me to come up because i disappeared from the scene for so many years and you know a lot of people forget people they leave the messages on read and and you didn't you're always been solid yeah thank you like you said you put us you gave us and your photos in the book man so like yeah your photos in the book so yeah i'm writing an essay on i'm very passionate about um hip-hop started as a as an art form to be the voice of the voiceless right the voice of the oppressed and i feel like there are there are a number of artists that are speaking out and you've had them up on this show but i feel like we could be doing a lot more and and hip-hop's biggest stars are very um loudly silent so um i'm trying to unpack

that yes that's a conversation we've had a lot of pair that yes some of the biggest celebrities haven't said anything yes and you know for some people they don't get into politics they don't know they don't understand and what's your thoughts on it i think art is political and i think that when we're watching a live stream genocide that it's not hard to say i just want innocent people to stop being killed it's deeper than that but on a very basic level as an arab woman i feel like we're not humanized enough and i would like to see my people be humanised. And I'm inspired by Nat Turner's Rebellion. When I say I learned about black history through hip-hop, I learned about black history.

I think that it wouldn't be happening if more people stood up and said something. And really they're asking us to use our voices. That's all they're asking for. Please use your platform. Please use your voice. So this essay, it might ruffle a little feathers, but I feel like we get one life on this earth and if i don't use that to kind of i'm privileged and i feel like i should use that privilege for the greater good what do you think

about the language surrounding it right because like you hear politicians they all say the same thing it's acknowledge what happened on october 7th which we all can agree with it a travesty and then they say uh the hostages have to come home and then it can be a ceasefire what do you think of that language um i think that we have to acknowledge that before october 7 there are thousands of palestinian hostages that are in jail under no charges at all men women and children and children. Oh, wow. Yes. And that never gets spoken about. I think we have to acknowledge that Gaza has no control by land, air or sea. I think there are many factors that have dehumanized this population for decades

that we're not taking into account prior to that operation on October 7. And so I think when we speak about this issue, and again, I'm not Palestinian. I am Lebanese, and Israel is constantly at war with southern Lebanon too. So I do have a vested interest in this, but it's a human issue. And I just think that if you keep sending bombs to a population, how is it going to stop?

Like, I just think the narrative doesn't make sense and we're being gaslit very much at the moment and i think people need to understand there are a lot of people in pain right now you have a picture here with khaled have you and khaled had a conversation because i know he's been a big topic of people feel like he should be speaking up more so have y'all had a conversation i'm writing about khaled in the essay that was my question yeah exactly yeah i'm writing about khaled in the essay um That was my question. Who exactly are you? I'm writing about Khaled in the essay. I'm writing about

a couple others that go to the Middle East to party, make money from other countries in the Middle East, but when it's time to talk about our pain, radio silence.

And I think that that's happened with black people for decades now, right? They want our rhythm and not our blues. That's the saying. And now we're feeling it.

And so I acknowledge all that in the essay. And I see black people say to each other, why should we give a damn about them? They've never given a damn about us. And I acknowledge that too. And I think we have to be very honest and have these honest conversations about everything. And we can't move forward until that.

But to your point, yeah. Have you spoke? I'll put that in the essay and you can read about it. But no, we haven't directly spoken. Everyone has their own journey. I understand that. But as a Middle Eastern person, I know our community are heartbroken at his silence. All right, we got more with Simone Amelia Jordan.

When we come back, don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Lauren LaRosa filling in for Jess. We're still kicking it with Simone Amelia Jordan.

She's a journalist. She was a content director of The Source. Also, Dr. J's. Right now, she has a book out called Tell Her She's Dreaming. Charlamagne? It's going to be interesting to see what happens, you know, especially in November with the election, especially in places like Michigan. Because the reality is America is always going to fund

the English military. So it's just going to be interesting to see what happens. What do you think will happen in Michigan? I really, truly don't know. I really don't know. I really have no idea. Because even when I think about all the people who voted, you know, uncommitted in the primary,

it's a part of me that's like, but if Trump gets in, it's going to be worse. I don't know what's worse than genocide. I do know what's worse. And I understand what you're saying because I do understand that there are other, there are other issues, right? LGBTQI rights, abortion.

Like there are huge issues on the table. But that's what I mean when I say worse. I mean worse for Gaza. Yeah. Like, oh, there's no worse for Gaza right now. There can't be. There can't be. There can't be. There can't be.

Like you said, if what you said is true, that America unequivocally stands with Israel, which is what Kamala Harris has said unequivocally, then how can there be worse? That change of power

will be the exact same thing. So, it's just done in different ways, probably. So, I don't know what's going to happen.

I'm not American. I'm married to an American. My daughter is a dual citizen and I'm very vested in, I have a, you a you know i love this country it's given me so many opportunities but like it does break my heart the foreign policy of america obviously affects the world america is still a superpower i don't know if it always will be and i don't know if americans realize the shift in in the view of this country around globally. There has been a huge shift.

But people always say to me, oh, Americans, they only care about America. They don't care about the rest of the world. And I say, as someone who lived here for a decade, until you live here, you don't understand what they're dealing with on a day-to-day basis. You have to give Americans some grace because there's so much that goes on here that to take on. I mean, I've had conversations with friends to take on some other tragedy is a lot mentally because dealing with things day to day here is crazy enough. So I get that. But it's good to kind of be aware of what's happening that affects because it's your tax dollars, right? Absolutely.

Yeah. The last chapter is don't dream it's over. Break that down. Oh, the last chapter is don't dream it's oh mmm break that down oh the last chapter don't dream it's over it's basically about like you said every chapter has the word dream in it it's about never giving up like I said my heart is still here in New York I'm trying to bring New York to Australia in a lot of ways in what I do and it's easy to say never give up when when you feel like the light is never coming into the darkness I got very sick with the Crohn's disease I almost died when I got home to

Australia my doctor was like you are literally life or death you are killing yourself to like survive in the music industry yeah um that's how much I wanted to chase this dream and make it real but then I realized like your dreams can change as you change and i think that's the lesson of the book like you have these dreams that ignite your fire but as life changes the dreams change too yeah and you love that your dreams can change what do you say your dreams can change as you do as you change yeah yeah and so now i feel like a new burst of energy with the book and you never know like i'm up on the breakfast club like it's all come full circle like and i and i met you guys when this was just starting life is crazy and and it's so inspiring how did you do it because nowadays like people are so like it's our culture yes you

can't come in and there's all these think pieces on twitter yeah how do you like or did you even deal with that when you were first not in australia but just here in new york being a hip-hop journalist but not being like of the culture right um i didn't really feel that until i got to the source magazine because that's obviously a venerated hip-hop institution and i had the conversation with the publisher london mcmillan when he hired me and we spoke about that and he said i'm actually hiring you because you are aware of your place and who you are um and he said some of the staff have said like who is this girl what's her pedigree we don't know her background they didn't know all the years that i put into working within the art form and so for a little minute i felt some imposter syndrome but then i realized look i've never tried to be anybody but myself and i've always encouraged like

i said like especially young black women like nyla simone was my intern at the source oh wow oh wow i mean i know she's in terms of you know nylon right now with rhapsody that's that's what i'm saying it's she's on tour with rhapsody who i put in the freestyle sessions so like i've always known my place and i've always known that I really felt like this culture was not, and is not respected on the level that it should be globally. And even within the States probably, but like especially globally, people will go to the concerts, they love the music, but when it's time to show up at a protest, you know,

they don't want to get their hands dirty and I'm like, no, no, no, no, no. Like we can't let black people give us their gifts and not pay that back. That's real. In every way. And I've tried to do that. So, yeah, things have shifted a little bit. And I think rightfully so. I think that conversation is very needed.

But I have always tried to be as respectful as possible in what I do and just contribute. Because it's a global art form now. I mean, it was unleashed into the world from the 70s and I'm a child of that. So I think my duty is to learn the culture, learn the roots and just stand as much as I can. Yeah. All right.

Well, from down under to uptown New York City, our music helped one woman make big dreams come true. Make sure you go get Teller She's Dreaming right now. Thank you, guys. Thank you so much. And we appreciate you for joining us. Thank you, Virgo. It was my birthday last week, too.

She's the coach of the show. With Lauren, Lauren LaRosa. I'm back. And I got the match. Talk to me. So, very sad news. Remember the Ugandan runner that we talked about yesterday rebecca chitigay yeah uh yep it has just been confirmed that she has passed away at age 33 um the ugandan

athletics federation confirmed this news on x um in a statement they said sorry y'all in a statement they said we are deeply saddened to announce the passing of our athlete rebecca uh early this morning who tragically fell victim to domestic violence um they also posted as a federation they condemn such acts and they call for justice may her soul rest in peace um and if you remember uh we talked about yesterday that she had been burned in over 75 of her body after her boyfriend at the time threw gasoline on her and set her on fire. They were in an argument over land that they both or she recently purchased in Kenya. They were both living in Kenya.

Now, I know we had questions yesterday about what was going on with him. He was actually burned, too, in all of this. So he's being treated. But now he's going to be facing, you know, murder. Oh, he set himself on fire too? Yeah, he's in the hospital being treated currently.

Dumbass. Right now. Yes. So, send an arrest in peace to her, man. That is so, so sad.

Absolutely. What a cowardly act, man. And just cowardly and senseless. Over dispute, over land. Yeah. Like,

well, y'all can't have that conversation and figure it out? You got to set her on fire? No sense. I mean, yeah. She recently won a medal in the olympics right yeah she came in 44 but also she they got two babies jesus babies um yeah so sending the rest in peace to her and um i wonder when when men think like that right it, even, even if you don't care for your, the baby mama or whatever,

right? Don't you think about your kids and that's your kid's mom and you wouldn't want to hurt your kid's mom? I don't even know if the guy is the mother of the, I mean, is the father of two kids.

I don't know that for sure. But, but, I mean, but he could be, even if so, right? Even if they're not your kids,

this is still a woman who has two children. Regardless, it's a cowardly act over some land. Oh, it's definitely a cowardly act. Cowardly act. But it's even more of a cowardly act when it's, if you were the father of those children doing that to their mom,

you would at least, you know, care about the well-being of your kids and say to yourself, oh, I'm not going to do that to their mom. Right? Yeah. I would think. And it just,

she just had so much to live for too so it's really sad to see stuff like that now in other news um this is trending right now former president barack obama's half brother uh malik obama has voiced his support for donald trump and he's launched like a bunch of online conversation against kamala harris and the democratic party now what color is his brother? Now, Barack is half white. He's a Kenyan-American. He's a Kenyan-American businessman and politician.

And he said, what color? What side is it? What side is it? You got to make sure. But it's not the first time because in the last election, he was riding with Trump. Even though he had a brother, I never paid him no attention. Of course, this is being picked up, though, because, you know, the are they're such big supporters of kamala um but yeah so he's related to obama through their father barack obama senior um and they had a close relationship at first uh but now um you know that doesn't seem like to be the case and

he's a constant critic he's known to be a constant critic of uh barack obama and the democrats so like you said envy this is not anything new so he sent out a tweet and the tweet said, I am Malik Obama, I'm a registered Republican and I'm voting for President Donald Trump. Is this anything to worry about, y'all? Well, that's his right. He can vote for whoever he wants to vote for. I'll tell you something, the men from Kenya, y'all really down right now. I mean, these last

two stories show me that men from Kenya make poor choices. Yeah. I mean, come on. Right. You got another one? No, I don't got another man from i don't got no other man from kenya nope nope no more men from kenya um we're gonna move on we're coming back into the states now so megha salian uh she did a cover uh story for billboard and in the cover story she talked about a bunch of different stuff she talked about you know kamala she talked about her relationship with beyonce and starting businesses but she also talked about the black men from kenya no she talked about a

black woman from the u.s nikki minaj okay so she talked about their beef but it wasn't really much to say to it so they basically asked her about his and kind of how that came about and what the issue was because i was sitting here thinking about it as I was looking up this story and I'm like it's been going on for so long since like 2019 2020 I don't know what the issue is like it's always been like speculated that maybe it was because uh Magda Stallion started doing music with Cardi that then the fans tried to put two and two together and say it was something about in uh drinking and Nicki Minaj trying to get pregnant and Megan offering her alcohol and you know I know Nicki had made some comments but like I really don't know what it is and Magda Sion herself basically said she has no idea so they asked her like you know what like is this something that can like even

be squashed and she said I honestly don't know what the issue is so to even have a conversation about squashing the beef is hard because what is the issue well that's a little bit of gaslighting after you done made a diss record right i mean his was a number one record like you can't go in the studio and record a number one record if you don't know what the issue is but you know that there is an issue because nikki's taking shots you know that's

my point if you know there is an issue then you know what the issue is i thought it started when they did that song together i thought there was problems after they did that song and video together. Yeah, exactly. That song came out, I believe that was 2019, Hot Girl Summer. Right. It all started after that. But you remember after that, that's when Meg Thee Stallion started collabing with Cardi B. And it's always been a thing of that, too.

Like people say, anyone that Cardi B begins to work with Nikki somehow finds a problem with them because you know Nikki and Cardi's like overarching be- WAP wasn't before Hot Girl Summer? I don't remember. No. WAP was not before Hot Girl Summer. Nope. But the exact quote was they asked her like where did her competitive rap energy come from and does she feels like do does Meg Thee Stallion feel like she's the reason that MCcs are rapping competitively again because you know she also threw shots at drake and then kendrick followed up on that so she said i would like to think that dumb ass question billboard she said i would like to think that i start things i don't that yeah she oh i thought she didn't start things i would like to think that

i start things i don't know i just knew i did what i had to do and i said what i had to say if it opened the door for everyone else to get stuff off their chest well I'm glad because open up the door for competitive right at all not even in this era when the Drake and Kendrick stuff happened people were like Meg took the shot first on his who said that there are people that go look at no people on twitter y'all gonna twitter with me and the people okay every year is some type of none of y'all else heard that narrative in this room no this is the first time y'all heard it okay because i don't just be making stuff up so shook a black woman i heard it because see brandon has a reputation he's from ghana but he has a rep no i won't put

you out there i just say that somebody in the room really likes white women okay not saying it's brandon at all i'm just saying that somebody in this room really likes white women. Okay, not saying it's Brandon at all. I'm just saying that somebody in this room really likes white women. So when I just said that he felt compelled. Yes. That was his version of reparations. Y'all put a lot of pressure on him. Okay, so that wasn't just your version of reparations. I'm not on your side anymore, actually.

Oh, wow. Wow. That's crazy. Switched up on you. You see how y'all do black women in this room? See, Brandon? See? When my male homegirl Meg say protect black women Damn see Brandon

Right back in the corner That's what you get for paying her Alright well that is just what the mess with Lauren La Rosa Alright now when we come back Did I say your name right It's okay I said Lauren La Rosa Lauren La Rosa You put said Lauren La Rosa. No, you said La Rosa. Lauren La Rosa.

Okay, uncty. Who you giving your donkey to, uncty? Ricky Smith. She needs to come to the front of the congregation. We would like to have a word with her, okay? All right, we'll get to that next. You will never believe what she said Kanye West told her to do. Please stop talking us with that pinky up.

I can't take you seriously. He's zesty. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Wake up. Wake up. You're locked into the Breakfast Club. Your execution on the donkey of the day is something to behold.

Is it a reason? He gave me donkey of the day and i deserve this people need to know what you need to tell them i am you have the voice tell them it's time for donkey of the day it's a read but you're so good at it you're trying to be a fake ass charlemagne you only want charlemagne to go damn charlemagne who you give the donkey of the day to man well sexy red donkey of the day for now? Well, sexy red, donkey of the day for Thursday, September 5th, goes to a 28-year-old woman from Louisville named Ricky Smith. Okay, Ricky Smith was arrested after she claimed Kanye West told her to steal a car.

Let's go to WDRB for the report, please. Woman was arrested in Evansville after she claims Kanye West told her to steal a car that had a child inside. Evansville police responded to calls of a woman trying to get into random cars Friday morning. Officers arrested Ricky Smith after a woman, says Smith, tried to steal her car with her child in the backseat. When police asked Smith why she tried to take the car, she said that Kanye West spoke to her telegraphically and told her to steal it. Smith is charged with attempted kidnapping and attempted auto theft. Now, let me be the first to say,

there are a lot of things we can blame Kanye West for. There are a lot of things I would like to blame Kanye West for. But this isn't one of them. Okay, this young lady said Kanye West spoke to her telegraphically. Now, if you know anything about me, then you know I'm a huge comic book fan. Marvel is my favorite. I have a tattoo of Wolverine on my right arm. I am a massive X-Men fan. The leader of the X-Men is Charles Xavier professor X now I'm not

the highest grade of weed in the dispensary but professor X power is telepathy okay I believe the first time I even heard about telepathy was because of Charles Xavier telepathy allows him to read and control the minds of others he is considered one of the most powerful telepaths in the world and can read minds within a 250 mile radius Telepathy so I was confused when I heard Ricky Smith say Kanye West spoke to her Telegraphically that didn't sound like anything Charles Xavier could do now I looked up telegraphically and telegraphically means in a way that is short and does not use extra words

There is no way Kanye West would ever speak to someone telegraphically because he uses a lot of words, okay? He talks a lot and it wouldn't be short let me use it in a sentence as a headline writer his job is to come up with a telegraphically brief description of what each article is about what i'm trying to tell you is that telegraphically has nothing to do with telepathy i did some research and by research i mean i asked chat gpt i said chat gpt what's the difference between telegraphically and telepathy and chat GPT told me like 30 to 40 grand game cocksucker beat it okay that's Jay-Z imaginary player google it kids uh chat GPT actually told me that to tell telegraphically and telepathy refer to two very different concepts okay telegraphically relates to the use of a telegraph which is a

device used in the 19th and early 20th centuries to send messages over long distances using electric signals. Now, Kanye West samples a lot of old music, but I didn't know he also sampled old technology. Okay, there's a big difference between speaking through the wire and speaking through Morse code. If Kanye is resorting to Morse code, then wherever he is must have trash ass Wi-fi i mean if he's doing more as cold then his wi-fi is as unstable as he is okay dot dot dash ricky i'm gonna let you finish but grand theft auto have the greatest car thefts of all time now telepathy refers to the ability to transmit thoughts or feelings between individuals without using traditional communication methods

the moral of the story is kanye west did not tell this woman to steal a car telegraphically or with telepathy. OK, Ricky wrecked her car, but told police her car broke down. Then she jumped into a woman's vehicle while the other woman walked into a store. She was pulled out of the vehicle. And since the child was inside the car during the incident, she was charged with attempted kidnapping and attempted auto theft. This has nothing to do with Kanye West. This'all. This has to do with poor choices and clear mental health issues. Okay, I believe there should be consequences for Ricky Smith's actions,

but when we are considering the consequences, please consider that something is clearly not right with this young lady mentally. Okay, we can't just be sending folks to prison. If these are correctional facilities, then let them do some actual correcting by getting this woman the proper mental health resources she needs. But in the meantime, we also have to give her the credit she deserves. correctional facilities then let them do some actual correcting by getting this woman the

proper mental health resources she needs but in the meantime we also have to give her the credit she deserves for making stupid choices please give ricky smith the sweet sounds of the hamiltons please Now, I just spoke about providing proper mental health resources to folks, right? And if you know anything about me, you know I'm a huge mental health advocate, okay? I encourage you to invest in your mental wealth. And if you don't have the resources to properly invest in your mental wealth let me help you okay i am proud to announce that my fourth annual mental wealth expo will be happening october 12th at the marriott marquee here in time square new york city okay if you have never been

Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Lauren LaRosa filling in for Jess. It is time for Ask CNE. We got Carter on the line. Carter, what's your question? So I'm just trying to kind of figure out what I should do with my situation. I've been married 15 years to a music producer. He's been doing music since I met him. I doing music since I met him.

I was 16 when I met him. So he feels like he got a calling from God. I ended up getting him to get a job as an insurance agent, and it's been kind of hard to keep him working there. But he's been doing it. Lately, I've been working three jobs for the past three years. So every month we have the same and I go to school and you gotta have sex with him

she have sex with him all that? you still have sex with him? we do and he's a sex addict so we don't do it as much so of course that's one of our huge problems I don't want to I'm too tired sometimes how old are you mama? well first of all what's your question you want to. I'm too tired sometimes. How old are you, mama?

Well, first of all, what's your question? You want to tell him to give up on his dreams? She wants to ask if she should tell him to give up on his dreams. But how old are you?

I'm 31. He's 33. I don't think you should tell him to give up on his dreams, especially if he has another job. Like, I tell people all the time, and I wrote about this in my first book,

you have 168 hours in a week. That is more than enough time to deal with your reality, which is having a job and to be able to chase your dreams and to be able to get sleep and have sex with your wife and all of that other good stuff so i don't think you should tell him to quit his dreams she said he won't go to the other job right he says now he doesn't want to go to the other job i don't necessarily want him to quit his dreams but i want i'm a dancer and i've been a dancer all my life

scripper right now for the past few years I haven't even been to a dance studio. When you say, oh, okay. She's a dancer. I thought you meant Skripper. I still plan to get a studio, but right now it's grind time. We have four kids. And she's right. She's absolutely right.

You got four kids. You have three jobs, and he's trying to make beats. But is there any, like, is he making beats for somebody? Is it seeming like he could sell a beat? He is super talented. He can make beats, produce. He can turn a song from nothing to something. He is super talented. I won't knock that. Then it's only a matter

of time. He might need to take another job and maybe not produce eight hours, produce four hours a day, but if he's that talented, it's only a matter of time. And if he catches, boy, boy, oh boy, y'all be laughing at this in a couple of years. So he don't work at the insurance place at all? No, he does.

That's right. He works 40 hours. Yeah. Oh, yeah. He don't want to go to work. That's why I feel bad for asking him to get another job because he does work 40 hours. Some dudes don't even do that. First of all, what you should be doing is shouting out his name and his Instagram page right now.

Okay? That's what you should be doing. That's right. At Real Life Fresh, y'all go follow my man. Like I said, he's a great producer. And it's what you should be doing. That's right. At Real Life Fresh. Y'all go follow my man. Like I said, he's a great producer. And it's only a matter of time.

So you keep cooking for that man and, you know, letting him sweat on you. She can. She got four jobs. She tired. She got three jobs

and four kids. Where you at? What's the three jobs you got? I work. I'm a server, a bartender, and I cook at World of Beer and a chef's garden catering. I also wash dishes

there. So, like I said, I don't mind picking up when he need me to. Y'all sound great. Y'all sound like a phenomenal couple. I'm going to be honest with you. Y'all sound like a nice, hardworking couple and I feel like all that hard work going to pay off for y'all. I hope it does too, mama. I hope it does too. Thank y'all. Thank y'all

Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Lauren LaRose is filling in for Jess. It's Ask C&E. We got Tim on the line Tim, good morning Good morning What's your question for C&E, brother? And Lauren

Alright, so Here's my situation I'm on child support, right? And I end up losing my job So I end up getting behind on child support School comes back in And my baby mama Asked me me can i help get some school supplies and school clothes and stuff for my son but i tell her i'm behind on child support if you can

take the back child support off i don't have no no no problem with helping with these other things okay okay sounds logical to me yeah so I feel like I should pay my child support in order for her to get the money. So she is at the point where I'm almost losing my license over this. In the state of South Carolina, child support comes straight out your check. And they put you right in jail.

And if they don't put you in jail, well, first they'll suspend your license and then they'll put you in jail. But I'm telling her suspend your license, and then they'll put you in jail. But I'm telling her, like, hey, we need to co-parent this thing. Can you at least take the back door off so I can get myself situated and I don't have no problem with, you know, doing other things. How long have you been without a job? What'd she say?

But she said no. She wrote me a whole, and she blocked me. She wrote me this whole paragraph and then blocked me. How long you been without a job, bro? How long you been without a job? Well, I recently just got another job a couple of weeks ago. But it was a period where it got up to like $3,000. Once it hit like $3,000, then they go threaten to suspend your license.

Well, I'm going to tell you what you need to do, my brother. You need to come up with that money. You need to come up with that money, okay? Because if she is not willing to negotiate with you in any way, shape, or form, then you ain't got nothing to do but go out there and get that bread to pay your back child support and, you know, catch up so you don't end up in jail. Yeah, because it's going to be worse because they're going to take your license, then you can't drive to work, so then you're going to have to walk or ride a bike, and it's going to be even worse. They're going to put up in jail. Yeah, because it's going to be worse because they're going to take your license, then you can't drive to work, so then you're going to have to walk or ride a bike,

and it's going to be even worse. They're going to put you in jail. So like Charlamagne said, you need to figure out how to get that $3,000, get it current, and then have another conversation. Where you at in South Carolina? I'm from Orangeburg, South Carolina.

Listen, Orangeburg, South Carolina, there got to be a fat white woman with some money around there somewhere. What? There got to be a big back white woman around there with some money, and you know what you need's got to be a big back white woman around there with some money and you know what you need to do.

What do you need to do? You got to do a little something strange for some change, sir. Desperate times call for desperate measures. Here's the thing, Charla, man.

Here's the thing. I tried to go into business for myself and I ended up quitting a job that I had to go into business for myself

and I was without a job for like three months. I didn't make no money so I got behind on a job that I had to go into business for myself. And I was without a job for like three months. I didn't make no money. So I got behind on a lot of bills. Investing in yourself. I respect it. Yeah, but the problem is when you stop working for three months and make no money and you got kids, how are your kids going to eat? Yeah.

What was the business you invested in? Well, I tried to get my own truck. And then I only made $700 within that three months. So my rent didn't get paid. I had a little money that I had saved up, but all of that rent, bills, car notes. You still got the truck? You still got the truck? No, I gave it back.

I gave it back. Oh, damn. What kind of truck was it? Who were you hauling? He rented it. Oh, he rented it. I was hauling all different type of stuff. It was a Freightliner.

Okay, I got you. Well, I'll tell you, man, get on your knees right now, say a prayer, and say, God, please bring me a fat white woman with some money. God, please bring me a fat white woman. With some money. With some money. You need one with no teeth.

With some money. Okay? All right? Dr. Omar's not going to like that, but have a good one. You got to do what you got to do. Hey, Envy, Envy. Here you gotta do what you gotta do hey hey hey Envy Envy here you go

there you go alright I'm not gonna give you no money but yeah you know he just blew the horn not you're not gonna pay him

for blowing you what you're not gonna pay him for blowing you Envy send that man send that man something on his cash app man what's wrong with you

that man blew you without even asking man he was so excited too he looked at me you see that I am totally against it Laura looked at me. You see that? I am totally against it. Laura looked at me back like, okay, what? All right.

Taylor Swift is back in the headlines with her bae, Travis Kelsey, because there was this document that surfaced and Travis Kelsey's PR team had to come out and let the world know that this is not a real document. This is not happening. But this document was basically like a comprehensive media plan. And the media plan was planning for Travis Kelsey

to break up with Taylor Swift and how he would handle the rollout of the announcement of the breakup, right? So the plan said that the breakup was going to happen and it would be, the breakup was going to happen in September. It would be announced on September 28th. And then after that, they would give it a few days to kind of hit the media or whatever.

And then this whole little rollout would happen so that Travis Kelsey doesn't get a lot of the negative feedback and pushback and all that stuff. It's impossible. You break up with Taylor Swift, he's going to get all the negative feedback in the world. Let me tell you. Let Taylor dump you. So they're about to break up? Either way. Taylor Swift he's gonna get all the negative feedback in the world let me tell you let Taylor dump you either way no because his PR firm came out and said that this is all not true like this is false the document uh was fabricated um this is forgery and they even took steps further so the document began to um surf it began circulating on reddit first and then they hit other platforms

so they have reached out to reddit's legal team to figure out who originated the posting of the document so they can take legal action or do whatever they need to do uh because not only did this document end up suing taylor that'd be some tea because no look because this is what i was thinking though because you know taylor swift does the little she needs like little uh breadcrumbs for her fans so it's like what if that was one of those i don't know i think they would be in on it though right like they would have to know she wouldn't set herself up like that where it'd be discovered this way um but anyway so uh travis kelsey's pr team came out and um talked about their technical action all that good stuff um now here's a part that you guys are probably gonna be upset about y'allall know that the NFL season is kicking off tonight. Kansas City Chiefs versus the Baltimore Ravens.

So earlier in the week, there was a clip that circulated online. It just talks about how Taylor Swift is reinvigorating the NFL. Let's take a listen. Stop it. Cut it out. Meeting Taylor and realizing how genuine and cool she is, I think that's been special to me. Because she's the most famous person in the world. She could not be.

And she's really interested in football. And she asked a lot of great questions she's already drawing up plays we might have to put one in oh gosh that's amazing that's Patrick Mahomes white half talking yep oh no I thought I was agreeing with that's Patrick Mahomes I didn't even hear the white half she's not drawing up no goddamn plays Travis Kelsey says she be like she's really interested as well and she always asks questions and she doesn't really know a lot but she wants to give input. It's a shame that the

Kansas City Chiefs are back-to-back Super Bowl champions going for a three-peat this year. First time ever done. And they are giving their headlines to Taylor Swift.

That's right. Cut it out. Patrick Mahomes. Will she be there tonight? Probably so. I'm not for sure. I don't know the

answer to that question but we know that they're not breaking up okay we do know that for sure that that was not true all right i don't care yes you do you were swifty you were shaking it off a little bit you never seen that in your because remember you had told me that you i don't like mayonnaise that's not true he's on nothing except for potato salad and just enough you don't put mayonnaise on a sandwich you put too much mayonnaise on something it ruins it you can put mayonnaise on a sandwich a little bit a little bit like he act like he don't remember the last time i was here when he tried to throw that snow king thing on me he had told me that you know oh i forgot you used to worship travis kelsey never worshiped i forgot you that was your

screensaver when he had the tens on that you had tra I forgot about that. You had Travis with the Timbs on on your phone. Yes, you did. That lie, so you didn't. God damn. Screensaver is crazy. I never... I'm going to bring Dr. Umar in here to do exorcism on you. Can you wait till I take my blonde braids out?

Because I just... It's like one thing at a time. One traumatic... When was you back when Dr. Umar was here last time? Oh, Jess wasn't on Return of the New Year. Yeah, I wasn't here. Don't worry. I'm going to bring Dr. Umar in here to do exorcism on you.

Exorcism? That's right. Can you perform it on YouTube? No't worry. I'm going to bring Dr. Doom on here and do exorcism on you. Exorcism? That's right. Can you perform it on YouTube? No. Because you got some dark demons over there. I would love for Snow Bunnies. Snow Kings.

You love Snow Crab Legs. No. I like the whole crabs. The blue crabs. Anyway. Moving on. Who are you talking about right now? I don't know.

I told you what I think is going on with him. Did you take a shot yet? I took it already. You didn't take it right there, but go ahead. No, this was the first one. That's your shot. Take a shot.

Can we move on? Yes, more snow crab licks. Back to the story. So, designer. You guys, rapper, designer. Panda, panda, panda, panda. You got to say that when you say designer, right? Yes.

So, designer, he recently hopped online and decided to respond to 50 Cent. He did a diss? Yeah, sort of-ish I don't know if it counted as a diss Because it didn't hit But let's take a listen to 50 So we can understand where Designer was coming from

You know what came to me? What's the name sound like future? It sounded like future I got clothes and a letter I got bras and a letter I met with him before He did the deal with Kanye Had him at the office I. Panda, Panda, Panda. Yup, I got bars in Atlanta. Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun. I met with him before he did the deal with Kanye, though. Had him at the office. I'm like, yo, so let me hear the other records you got.

And he's like, I said, that's it. And the was so hot that he had it, I was struggling. And I was like, nah, I can't get that money. Let them give him whatever they're going to give him. When I made one record, I didn't know how to make the next one. You see what I'm saying? So if you have the distraction of a hit record, you move around, you start seeing all these bad.

You done been married three times this weekend. So if this is going to happen, you done got all this confused. You like, what happened? What's your next record? I don't know. I think I like her. I think 50 was absolutely right. Yeah, wasn't nothing wrong with what 50 said.

But I think Desiigner took it as as 50 calling him a one-hit wonder because that was always the conversation around Designer. It was like, you know, one-hit wonder, whatever. So Designer was like, you know what? I'm going to drop a song, a freestyle. How do you feel about that? Well, I saw the video. I just kept thinking to myself, what were his passengers thinking?

I hope he waited to drop them off before he did that freestyle. Somebody was in the car because they had to hold the camera. Oh, you mean, wait. When you say his passengers, are you calling the designer an Uber driver? He wasn't driving an Uber? Yo. Sky. No, I'm serious.

Somebody told me he was driving an Uber. He wasn't driving an Uber? I don't know that. I don't like to say anything I don't know to be confirmed as true. I just saw him in the car. Oh, yeah. I thought he was driving an Uber. That'd be crazy to ask the passengers to tape you. He's not doing that. I don't like to say anything I don't know to be confirmed as true. I just saw him in the car. Oh, yeah. I thought he was driving the Uber.

That'd be crazy to ask the passengers to tape you. He's not doing that. That's how you get... Well, first of all, I'm giving that freestyle one star.

But if you give me... If I'm riding in your Uber and you pass me the camera and say record you, I'm definitely giving you one star. Yo, who told you that? Yo.

Who told you that? The voice is in my head. No. He put it on instagram like point of view another hit because he wanted like you know people to know like i can make another hit well you need to go in the studio and actually record on a beat and put the record out you can't do that from the front seat of your uber that's crazy that's that's i mean nothing wrong with driving uber no nothing in my comments no nothing at all but i'm just saying you can't that's not how you prove to somebody that you can make hits you know the rappers be doing the car freestyles don't play with them that's not a hit that's just a freestyle all the time because pap can rap

we because papoose can actually rap and he's a lyricist and we know pap is a lyricist right that's not what Desiigner proved nothing just now. He proved nothing. He proved his phone camera work. Exactly. It's not another hit.

It's not another hit and he wasn't a good rapper. He proved nothing. If Desiigner wants to make music again I say get out there and try and figure it out

better. I hope you get into Uber one day and he's driving. No. He's going to drive you right to hell because that's where you belong. This is why there has to be a buffer between you and your phone.

Because I believe that when you record certain things in post, like social media should ask you, do you really want to upload this? If there's nobody around to stop you, social media should at least say, are you sure? Like, yo, dog, we here. Are you sure about that? Netflix does that when you've been watching the show. Are you still watching They should do that On all social media apps

When you post something It should say Are you sure Designer that type On Netflix Will be like Don't ask me again Damn

Alright well that was Just with the mess With Lauren LaRosa Yo LaRosa You still I said LaRosa Okay Oh designer

Will never ask his phone Nothing You know people Will be talking To their phone As ask them questions? I know Siri be catching hell with Desi. I hope you got a chance. I hope you get in the back of his car one day going to the airport.

Oh, my God. Chat GPT to AI. What? I know they be just asking Desi over and over. What did you just say? I hope he Uber Eats to your house one day. And one day you order Uber Eats and he got to deliver it all. Why are we making him an Uber Eats driver and an Uber driver?

I'll see you there. Now, the positive note comes from one of my favorite authors, Mr. Robert Green. Law 46 and the 48 laws of power never appear too perfect. OK, appearing better than others is always dangerous.

But most dangerous of all is to appear to have no faults or weaknesses. Envy creates silent enemies. It is smart to occasionally display defects and emit the harmless vices in order to deflect envy and appear more human and approachable. Only gods in the dead can seem perfect with impunity i don't even know if that's true anymore to be honest with you the way y'all be slandering dead people but that's the positive note have a great day breakfast club bitches
