Chappaquiddick is a story of a tragic death and how the Kennedy machine took control.

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

We are back from vacation Yes, welcome back. We're live. How you feeling Jess? How was your vacay? It wasn't really vacation It was still work, you know what I mean? But I enjoyed the holiday me and my family went up to Deep Creek, Maryland Okay, it's like a big villa. We had games 12 of July then it was my husband's birthday

July 6 that cancer man. yeah, so we had fun. Just enjoyed it. I enjoyed the last three days. Did I hug him? Yes. Yes, black ass. Did you tell him you love him? Yes.

Okay, good. Well, I would've hugged you too, told you I loved you too, but she was all the way in Africa, so I'm waiting. That was not in Africa. That was not in Africa. What'd you get? I was on my favorite island, Angola. That's what I was.

Yes, because you was deep fried today. How you doing? I look amazing. No, you didn't, bro. I'm just saying you're a couple shades darker. You was in that sun. That's right. That tan, I got sun kissed. Yes, what's wrong with that? What was even all the way around so you good at it? Yes ma'am. I love it. How was Anguilla? Anguilla's Anguilla. Anguilla's amazing. That's my happy place. I'm gate keeping Anguilla. Keeping y'all niggas out. I bet. I ain't say nothing but nothing. I ain't say wait what?

You know they got direct flights from Baltimore now? No they don't. Yes they do. How much you won't bet? I'm not even joking. Well not to Anguilla, you gotta go to it. No, Anguilla. What?

Man, look it up. You'll see when I tell you. And when you look it up and see, I'm gonna tell you why it happened too. Really? Yes. So you ain't got time for that? They got them from Miami too. They got them from Miami to Anguilla and then Baltimore to Anguilla.

It's another city too But I can't remember right now Right on right in the eggs Okay Everybody out in Vegas. I seen everybody in Vegas this week and had a great time in Vegas. And then I went to Essence Festival Sunday. How was that? It wasn't as packed as usual. The streets weren't flooded, the hotels weren't flooded, the restaurants weren't flooded, the clubs weren't flooded.

Because times is hard! I know. And they had like a huge lineup of artists. I mean, they were from Patti LaBelle to Nas, LL Cool J, Lauryn Hill, the Isley Brothers. Lauryn Hill don't count. Glorilla. Lauryn Hill don't count and I'm gonna tell you something else man. We all got love for the miseducation of Lauryn Hill but at some point Lauryn Hill gotta start

having more respect for the fans. Don't you think? Jesus Christ. Well I don't know who's fault it was. They're saying it was partly the show because the show ran over but. 3.30 in the morning. But nobody's got a 2.30 in the morning. It's like come on. Come on. That was Friday the show because the show ran over but nobody's right at 3.30 in the morning.

That was Friday's show. I wasn't there Friday but nobody's right at 3.30 in the morning. That's a lie. Come on. And I saw a lot of people, I guess online, complaining about SNS Fest. The one thing I didn't see nobody talk about is the fact that times are hard. People don't have extra money for extra things. Trust what I tell you.

Still had a good time though seeing everybody. That's the most important thing is you get to see so many people. And it's not too many events where there's that lineup, that many things. They had podcasts, they had all types of engagements. You don't really get to see that. So the fact that it dwindled out like that this year really upsets me. Because there's a time really, you can really, it's like a big family reunion. There's still a lot of people there though. There's still a it's a lot people certain things. Yeah, there's certain events

Yeah, it was a lot of no man. Do you we easy interviewed a candy birds and they talked in front of a hundred thousand people? Well, it was on a thousand people. That's what they said. I don't know All right. Yeah Oh, that's what I was talking about. Who's the judge, Mandy? No, I saw people saying that. Okay, well let's get the show cracking. We got front page news when we come back. A lot to discuss, so don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Morning everybody. It's DEJ, Envy, Jess, Hilarious, Charlamagne, and the Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Now, salute to Tyrese Halliburton. He will miss the entire 25-26 season after surgery to repair his Achilles So we knew that next year. He'll be out next year Damien Little will be out next year Jason Tatum will be out next year They've been blaming it on low low, uh, low top sneakers They've been saying that a lot of it gotta be everybody not doing the same thing It gotta be something. Yes, a lot of the legends in the game saying they got to

go back to wearing high top. I haven't heard the reason why but I do want to know why people are tearing their Achilles. All right, what's up Morgan? Hey, happy Tuesday. How we feeling? Good, welcome back. That was your day K. Oh, it was so good, so good. I'm glad to be back, but you know, it's a little doom and gloom. So let's get into what's first on front page. So tragic news out of Texas while we were gone, of course, the death toll continues to rise following catastrophic flooding. Over 100 people, including children, are reportedly confirmed dead across six counties in Texas. Kerr County officials reporting at least 56 adults, 28 children and 10 with 10 children and one adult still missing from that girls camp Camp Mystic. Now officials said hundreds of responders are working search and rescue operations in the area and Camp Mystic also confirmed at

least 27 campers and counselors died in that flooding. Now Texas Governor Greb Abbott ensures the search and rescue and recovery efforts will continue. Let's take a listen to his comments. We continue 24 7 operations to search for anybody who was affected by that deadly storm. Yes. So President Trump signed a major disaster declaration for Kerr County, and he said, well, he will likely visit Texas on Friday.

Trump was questioned about his plans to get rid of FEMA and whether the federal government needs to rehire previously fired meteorologists and here's what he had to say to that. Let's take a listen to President Trump's comments. Well, FEMA is something we can talk about later, but right now they're busy working, so we'll leave it at that. This was the thing that happened in seconds. Nobody expected it. Nobody saw it.

Very talented people are there and they didn't see it. It's I guess they said once in a hundred years they've never seen anything like this. So White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt, she also slammed some Democrats claiming recent cutbacks at the National Weather Service hindered warnings to people in the area. Levitt said the weather station in the area had extra staff in place before the storm, and anyone who uses this issue to score political points should be ashamed. Now, the press secretary also offered words of support to those impacted. Let's take a listen to her comments. Unfortunately, in the wake of this once in a generation natural disaster, we have seen many falsehoods pushed by Democrats such as Senator Chuck Schumer and some members of

the media. Blaming President Trump for these floods is a depraved lie. Everyone here at the White House, including the President of the United States, is praying for the victims, families and friends during this unimaginable time. Well, they always use these issues to score political points. When it was wildfires in California, you know, Trump and, uh, you know, Trump's cronies, they, they definitely slammed governor Gavin Newsom and, uh, mayor Karen Bass, so I don't know what she means by, you know, now isn't the time to use just to score political points.

Cause this is what they do. But man, what a horrible story. Yes. When it's us versus mother nature, it's really nothing you can do but attempt to get out the way. All those kids passing away. I read a story about a father who got swept away with his kids because he refused to let them go

when the floods came in. Like, God, man. Yeah, it was really sad. So sad. Very devastating news. But politics aside, the devastating Texas floods have impacted countless residents. Families have lost their homes, communities, lives have been shattered and of course,

like I said earlier, children are still missing. So the need is urgent. The Community Foundation of Texas Hill Country has launched the Kerr County Flood Relief Fund to support the response, relief and long-term recovery efforts. All donations will go directly towards trusted and vetted local organizations to provide food, shelter, health care and hope. So you can join us today and donate to the Kerr County Flood Relief Fund at communityfoundation.net. That's communityfoundation.net.

And of course, that wraps up Front Page News for 6 a.m. I've got plenty more Front Page News at 7, so stick around. When it's you versus Mother Nature, Nature like it's really nothing you can do but try to get out of the way. So damn sad. Earthquakes, hurricanes, flash floods, blizzards, what are you supposed to do in those situations except pray? That's right. Well everybody else get it off your chest 800-585-1051. If you need to vent phone lines to wide open again 800-585-1051 it's The Breakfast Club, good morning. The Breakfast Club.

Even though I like the guy Trump this man declared before the peace thing happened. I ran That's going down and it actually happened. And then this man said that on July 4th, he's gonna sign that big, beautiful bill. Then it actually happened. Isn't that crazy? I mean, it is actually crazy to watch politicians do exactly what they said that they were gonna do, even if it is gonna hurt a lot of working class people.

Yeah, I don't like them, but they're just talking to me about power manifestations. I'm gonna go ahead and manifest some things right now. I don't know if that's manifestation though. I just think that that's a person in a position of power having the political will to do exactly what it is he said he was going to do and being able to push the right people in Congress

to get it done. I don't know if that's manifestation, as much as that's just power. I may be stressing that a little bit. I'm gonna go ahead and manifest some things right now for the company the last time I'm gonna do this. My girl, Jess, I like the dances you've been doing. I'm manifesting you had 12 hours to do that Baltimore

two-step, while I'm manifesting you gotta toss over that Birkin Bad from Shannonshaw. He ain't give me no Birkin Bad. Shannonshaw a bunch of Birkin Bad? No, no, no, no, no, he didn't give me.

He was interviewing me, asking me about like things that I own and stuff like that. He did not give me that. But he want the one I was talking about. But no, no, I'm gonna just do the two step. Yo, I just be forgetting. I don't be just two stepping on the spot. She was on vacation, man. I'm gonna do this yo, I just I just be forgetting I don't be just

It's coming yo, it's coming have a good one brother get it off your chest 800 585 105 1. What's up, Lauren? Good morning. Hey girl. What are you gonna do now that that court is over? Well, listen, today, I have to go back. Why? Because we find out today when Diddy's gonna be sentenced. They've been trying to, it's supposed to be October 3rd, but they're trying to get it pushed to be sooner,

so they have a short conversation today, and I will be there for the conversation. Y'all just like being there. I was ready to say at this point, she just wanna go. You like being in a mess. All them freaking crazy ass people that be out there. I don't think it's going to be as crazy today because people don't, you got to really pay

attention to something like this today. They're going to be there. They're going to hear you. They're going to be there. They can dress right now. Oh. All right. Well, we'll get into it next when we come back.

It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning everybody. It's DJ NV Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to the latest with Lauren. the Well, guys, it's been a while since we've been here and since then, Diddy was found not guilty of the racketeering, sex trafficking, racketeering and sex trafficking charges and found guilty of the man act charges, which are the charges, the prostitution charges. Now, after that happens, of course, people are like, well, he's gonna

have to go to jail. Will he have to go to jail? What happened? So sentencing will happen. Today they're having a conversation in court about when his sentencing will actually be. It was supposed to be October 3, but these team is asking for it to be expedited to happen as quickly as it can. The prosecution says that they're not going to fight that, they're okay with that. They just didn't want him to come home on bond until he got his sentencing which the judge agreed with in court last week. So today we'll find out when he'll be sentenced and how soon that'll be and that leans on the probation office. They have to put together a sentencing report and then however long that

takes we'll know when that date is going to be. So his charges are prostitution charges, hiring a prostitute and transporting them across state lines, correct? Yeah, two of those. Yes, two of those, two counsels. Yep, so that's what he was found guilty of. And his attorneys, Mark Agnifilio spoke to AP News and he told AP News that when Diddy went back into jail He got like a standing ovation from the other prisoners because he beat the federal government

And they had so they said that they've never seen people be able to beat the government that way And he also talked about Mark Agnifilio Diddy's attorney Just the fact that they knew that Diddy was probably going to get off on the sex on the Rico the fact that they knew that Diddy was probably going to get off on the sex on the Rico because I'm sorry on the sex on the Rico because the sex traffic on the sex traffic and charges because how confused the jury was on the Rico because the charges are related. So people thought that Diddy because when they first said they were confused on that those that one count with the Rico. 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 chaos. The world is in chaos. The world is in chaos. The world is in chaos. The world is in chaos.

The world is in chaos. The world is in chaos. The world is in chaos. The world is in chaos. The world is in chaos. The world is in chaos. The world is in chaos. The world is in chaos.

The world is in chaos. The world is in chaos. The world is in chaos. The world is in chaos. The world is in chaos. The world is in chaos. The world is in chaos. The world is in chaos.

The world is in chaos. The world is in chaos. The world is in chaos. The world is in chaos. The world is in chaos. The world is in chaos. The world is in chaos. affairs, violence, you name it. So is there a curse? Every week we go behind the headlines and beyond the drama of America's royal family. Listen to United States of Kennedy on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. My Uncle Chris is definitely somebody worth talking about.

He was the kind of guy that used Confederate flags as window curtains, lived in a trailer with an ex-con and a retired stripper, left loaded machine guns laying around, drank a bottle of whiskey a night, claimed he could kill a man with his bare hands, drove a garbage truck for a living, spoke fluent Spanish with a thick southern accent, and is currently buried in a crypt alongside the founding families of Panama. Listen to the Uncle Chris podcast to hear all about him and a whole lot more.

This collection of stories will make you laugh, it'll make you cry, and if I do my job right, they'll let you see the world and your place in it in a whole new way. I can't wait to tell you all about Uncle Chris. Listen now to Uncle Chris on Will Ferrell's Big Money Players Network on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

I knew I wanted to obey and submit, but I didn't fully grasp for the rest of my life what that meant.

In the woods of Minnesota, a cult leader married himself to 10 girls and forced them into a secret life of abuse. Why did I think that way? Why did I allow myself to get so sucked in by this man and thinking to the point that if I died for him, that would be the greatest honor. But in 2014, the youngest of the girls escaped and sparked an international manhunt. For all those years, he was the predator and I was the prey. And then he became the prey. Listen to The Turning, River Road, on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Diddy was visibly like emotional as I don't know what. And people thought that they knew something we did it and that he was going to be guilty on all accounts. But they're saying, no, we knew when we were trying to tell him like, yo, just hold on, this is looking good for you. Now, the question is, so for normal people who hire a prostitute and take them off across state lines they usually get a fine or less than a year or community service correct? They do. I'm asking. I don't know. I think it depends. That's what I'm asking. I think I mean I don't know all of this. That's what they were saying when I read it. When I read it. When I read it they said usually where people get arrested or they

get charged for prostitution they usually get a fine or they get community service or not jail time as a first-time offender See, I don't know about that. I know prostitutes. I don't know prostitute collectors. Like I don't know the one Well, I don't know the answer to that, Envy, but I know that the prosecutors, they were talking about up to 20 years, but, you know, on the, of course Diddy's team is like, that's ridiculous. So that's what the charge carries. But he's the first time, which sounds crazy to say, but he's a first time nonviolent offender. Correct. So they're saying at least a minimum of four years based on the sentencing

guidelines and, you know, at least. All the way from 20. That's what he was asking for 20 right because whenever you talk about sins in their charges you know they have like a maximum and a minimum by the way for the long time for a 55 year old man who's used to live in the high life the way did he ask okay yeah he's been in it let's not act like that's like that four years isn't a long time he's been in it what ten months already yes but but but you know remember we were talking about early remember OJ went to jail not for the crime. He went to jail for stealing his memorabilia back and he got 20 years for

it. What are you talking about? Remember when because what I'm saying is even though Diddy didn't get charged for the major crime they can still plan him for it. OJ's crime the stealing was a whole separate thing from right but he shouldn't got 20 years for stealing because most people who steal probably would have got a year for that but he got 20 years because they wanted to stick it to OJ so maybe they could possibly stick it to did he even know welcome back welcome back he's still back Welcome back. But who would he still be? Like his tapes and... Booty! Like who would he still be? You're back. What are you talking about?

We're not serious enough for this. Jokes ain't never stopping. I'm letting y'all know that right now. Bro, what, uh, shit. And my last question, when Diddy comes out, what happens next? That's what a lot of people have been asking. What does he do next? Does he do music?

Does he sign the black effect and do a book? Does he do a podcast? A podcast, yeah. He's definitely got it. Because we did his last interview, so will he be a singer? Yeah. He's definitely got it. He's definitely got it.

He's definitely got it. He's definitely got it. He's definitely got it. He's definitely got it. He's definitely got it. He's definitely got it. What is he doing next? Does he do music? Does he sign the black effect and do a book? Does he do a podcast? A podcast, yeah. He's definitely got it. Because we did his last interview, so will he be his first? Here's the thing, I fear people aren't going to learn

a damn thing from this Diddy situation. Like all the conversations I'm having sound so ass backwards, like you can blame the system. We can say the feds overcharged him. We can say he was railroaded. We can say it was a shakedown. Hey yo, railroaded. Hey yo, shakedown is crazy. What would they say? I mean, this is the language that they use. the feds overcharged them. We can say he was railroaded. We can say it was a shakedown. Hey yo, railroading is crazy. What are they saying? I mean this is the language that they're using. This is the language that

they're using. They're saying railroaded. They're saying it was a shakedown. But at what point are we going to have conversations about how he gave this system something to shake? Where's the conversations about accountability? Where's the conversations about discipline? Diddy made all this money, gave all these opportunities to people, created all these jobs, and it all burned down because of poor habits and lack of discipline. Drug use, violence towards women, sleeping with prostitutes. You can't move like that when you are a black man

in the position of power that Diddy was in. And I hate when people say things like, well, white men get to do this all the time. Well, guess what? We not white, okay? We are black and we can't and shouldn't want to move like corrupt white men do, but nobody wants to have that conversation about accountability and discipline. And they enable us as well because you have to have people around them. Yeah, but you see how-

But he's saying more than the GoPros together. He's saying you can't do it all by yourself. It's a little bit of everything. And you see how that played out. I mean not all of them, but most people got on the scene and got immunity. The only person that had the answer for something is Diddy. So I don't even think that that matters. And the only person you are in control of is you.

When you are in that position of power, when you are a billionaire that's creating all these opportunities and creating all these jobs, you have to move better. We can blame enablers, you can blame the system and everything else, but you have to move better. We can blame enablers, you can blame the system and everything else, but you have to move better. When do those conversations go ahead? They should be-

Y'all not tired of seeing black men be putting these positions because of their own poor habits and discipline? The system is already coming at us every day, making up stuff. Why are we giving them anything? I agree. Especially when you see his kids sitting in court and just have to like the fact that he could have been facing up to life

I used to think about that every day like these kids are sitting here and that's their dad at the end of the day That's right But the judge tried to have a conversation though when the judge said their dad knew he had kids Exactly dad knew he had people that depends on him Kids don't sure so, you know, you got kids. That's just all the more reason to move better. We gotta move correctly. Right. But sometimes I think a lot of these celebrities or these people with a lot of money sometimes have the God syndrome and they feel like they are God and you can't beat them. And I got enough money that if

it does, I can buy it away. And they realized that they can't. The judge is trying to humble and tame that bit because that's why he denied that bond. He said no, these are all the things you did even after you knew that we were gonna be sitting right here together, you're gonna stay where you at until we figure out the sentencing. All right, well that is the latest one.

When you ask what did he should do, if he comes home, he should do the work on himself. That's what he should be doing. He should be going to do some deep, intense therapy. He needs to find God. That's what he needs to be doing. He should be going to do some deep intense therapy. He needs to find God That's what he needs to be doing. He shouldn't be worried about no career He shouldn't be worried about trying to get back professionally. He should be focusing on his personal life. That's what he should be doing Well, let's discuss after front page news. We'll take your phone calls 800-585-1051. I mean we missed you guys last week

And of course Diddy was found guilty of two charges two charges would drop What are your thoughts the conversation we just had about? Did he and him coming home and what happened and how he'd allowed he allowed that to happen to him? Yes He did that he did it to himself 800-585-1051 let's discuss Three charges you say two charges were dropped. Oh three charges were dropped. Yeah, not guilty on three out of five. Three charges were dropped. We'll do it after front page news. So don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning everybody. It's DJ NV Jess Hilarious, Shalamine Nagai. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get back to some front page news. What up Morgan? Hey y'all, so in international news, right? Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, he is nominating President Trump for a Nobel Peace Prize.

He announced the nomination at a dinner at the White House, saying Trump is pursuing peace and security in many lands, especially in the Middle East. He told the President he has sent a letter to the Nobel Peace Committee and that he should win. President Trump accepted the nomination letter for the Nobel Peace Prize and thanked Benjamin Netanyahu. Let's take a listen to their exchange. I want to present to you, Mr. President, the letter I sent to the Nobel Prize Committee. It's nominated you for the Peace Prize, which is well deserved. Well, thank you very much. Coming from you in particular, this is very meaningful. So at that same dinner, President Trump says the

US will be sending more weapons to Ukraine. And he elaborated on the type of weapons and why. Let's take a listen to those comments. We're going to send some more weapons. We have to they have to be able to defend themselves. They're getting hit very hard now. Defensive weapons, primarily, but they're getting hit very, very hard. So many people are dying in that mess. So this comes after the administration had paused some weapons shipments to Ukraine over concerns

the US military stockpile was being depleted. As for the pause in weapons shipments, Trump said the US needed to make more, or excuse me, needed to make sure that we had enough for ourselves. And here on the home front while we were away on vacation, President Trump did sign his big beautiful bill into law on July 4th during a ceremony at the White House. He was joined by B-2 bombers as well as F-22 and F-35 fighter jets that did a flyover. The president was also joined by those pilots and crews from the White Men Air Force Base in Missouri who executed Operation Midnight Hammer on

Iran's nuclear sites. Now in a post on social media, Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer called the bill a betrayal of US citizens. Now meanwhile Republican lawmakers are celebrating in an interview with Fox News Sunday. House Speaker Mike Johnson said the bill will help the economy flourish Adding the legislation will deliver on the administration's American first agenda Let's take a listen to Mike Johnson's comments the average American the typical American household had $13,000 more and take-home pay this is a great thing for people who go to work every day They're gonna feel that so former Treasury Secretary Larry Sum, who's on the other side of the aisle as a

Democrat, he slammed the bill while speaking to ABC's this week, saying it's a step in the wrong direction for the country. Let's take a listen to his comments. This is a shameful act by our Congress and by our president that is going to set our country back. So the legislation includes over $4 trillion in tax reductions with the, which the administration claims will benefit working class Americans. Democrats believe the bill will cut necessary programs like SNAP, Medicaid,

and Medicare, leaving thousands of Americans vulnerable. So this is going to be a wait and see type of situation, depending on where you are economically. I'm sure you're already starting to feel some of the impacts but this is going to be one of those weight in seat type of situations. Now this bill is going to cut Medicaid and food assistance for up to 17 million Americans right? You see Republicans and Democrats have spoken out against this bill some folks are calling it political suicide and they say the GOP is going to lose a bunch of

seats in the midterms but if the GOP doesn't seem to be concerned about that, then what does that tell y'all folks? Fight is probably already fixed when it comes to the midterm elections, you know, and 2028. So who, I mean, who knows? I just feel like, you know, if something is, you know, political suicide, if you're using that kind of language

for a bill and you pass it anyway, then you know something that the rest of us don't know. Or you know something that the rest of us do know and we just sitting around waiting for the inevitable to happen. Free and fair elections my ass. We'll see in a couple of years though. No, you're right about that.

But before I go, I think it's very important to mention one more time about the devastating floods that have impacted those residents in Texas. Of course, families lost their lives, communities impacted and shattered, children are still missing and of course the need is urgent. The Community Foundation of Texas Hill Country, they launched the Kerr County Flood Relief Fund to support those impacted relief and long-term recovery efforts. All donations will go to trusted,

local, and vetted organizations that provide food, shelter, health care, and hope. And you can donate to the Kerr County Flood Relief Fund at communityfoundation.net. That's communityfoundation.net if you just want to make sure you, you know, support those impacted. Because like you said, Charlemagne, you never know when it could be us and what can you do when it's you versus mother nature. So that's your front page news. I'm Morgan Wood.

And also I just want to send a salute and send love to some of the major cities that

Fourth of July, I know Chicago, 55 people got shot, 6 people died, I know in Philly, 6 dead, there was 35 hurt, 15 shootings, so I just wanted to send love to everybody in Philly. And that was really sad because yo, like you can literally go and see all these shootouts online, like this one from the front door, right? And it looked like they were having to cook out and people just came up and they were shooting from the porch, on the porch. It was so much man. So prayers up for everybody. Absolutely. All right. Thank you, Morgan.

Thank y'all. Have a good one. Now when we come back, let's open up the phone lines. Let's talk Diddy. 800-585-1051. Let's just open up the phone lines, taking your calls. What's your thoughts? What you think? Let's discuss. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. If y'all talkin' about it, you know we talkin' about it. It's topic time.

Call 800-585-1051 to join in to the discussion with the Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy, we are the Breakfast Club. Lauren LaRosa is here as well. Now we were talking about Diddy in the first latest with Lauren and you actually going to court today? Yes. It's short though, they're just trying to figure out when his incident is going to be. Alright, and now for people that don't know, if you didn't hear, I mean, it was everywhere.

Diddy got, he was charged with five counts and three of them were dropped, correct? Yeah. Break down what the three charges that were dropped. So he was found not guilty on the racketeering charges, the sex trafficking charges, and he was found guilty on two counts of the men at the charges, which are the prostitution charges. So we're asking 800-585-1051. What are your thoughts? Let's start with-1051. What are your thoughts?

Let's start with you Jess. What was your thoughts when you heard everything that happened with Diddy? I was like, yo what? It's just crazy. Yo shut up. No I swear I just, you didn't know. One day you felt like he was gonna be,

you know it was like a toss up. You didn't know, you know what I mean? So I don't know, I just knew that he wasn't gonna be out. I knew that you couldn't hold that Fourth of July party that you wanted to have for him. That's all I knew. I did not want to have a 4th of July party. That's all I knew. I just was like he's not gonna walk out. But, I really don't even know how to feel about this. I mean, a lot of me really don't care, for real, to be honest with you.

But, yeah, that's it. Honestly. See, I'm a little different. I do care I'm gonna tell you why so I do feel like the Rico charge and I feel like it was a lot excessive, right? Mm-hmm, but I look at Diddy and what he did for Culture and music and the amount of jobs that he created I thought was a as a black man I thought what he did was amazing, right? He's he started a foundation where a lot of people wanted to be him for sure But then I look at the other side of him and I'm like, you allowed the drugs, the lifestyle

and all this other stuff, beating women and having that quote unquote God complex get to your head, where it damn near ruins your life, ruins your legacy. And we all make mistakes, but you never want to make a mistake like that where it threatens your life in jail, where you got, how many kids did he got? Six kids? Six of them, yeah. He missed his second, third, what, two year old's birthday? He missed his daughter's going to the prom, he missed his daughter's graduation, he missed

Christmas. Those are things you can't get back. You know what I mean? You can always make a dollar, you can always get certain things, but those are the things that you can't get back. And not only that, his lifestyle is put out there for his daughters To hear yeah to see you know and it's like what example do you want to set for your children when they hear or they? See a video of pops beating up a woman you know pops

You know like in semen I'm just joking but pops doing the things that pops is doing yeah I mean they're a lifestyle and I just want when he does when he does come home to Make sure he works on himself now We can't sit here and say did he's not gonna work did he still got bills We don't know how much money did he got or where his money is invested He still got six seven kids to take care of but yeah, I just wonder what happens next I don't know that was the part that that's what made me now. I do care about his kids That's the part, you know that especially his girls and things like that, you know

But that's what made me not care the fact that the Cassie video and the fact that he has abused women and things like that, but that's what made me not care to fact that the Cassie video and the fact that he has abused women and things like that, and he didn't do it once, he's done it time and time again, so it was like, when do you learn before your empire's crushed? You know what I'm saying? That's my thoughts on it. I fear people aren't gonna learn a damn thing

from this whole situation, because I keep seeing people pointing fingers at the system, and yes, you can say the feds, you know, overcharged it, you know, but when people say things like it was a shakedown, I'm like, when are we going to have conversations about how Diddy gave this system something to shake? Okay. Where's the conversations about accountability?

Where's the conversations about discipline? Nobody's going to talk about the drug use. Nobody's going to talk about the violence towards women. Nobody's going talk about the drug use. Nobody's gonna talk about the violence towards women. Nobody's gonna talk about the sleeping with prostitutes. We just gonna act like all of this is normal. Diddy made all of this money, created all of these opportunities for people, created all these jobs,

and it burned down because of his poor habits and lack of discipline. And I cannot stand when somebody says to me, well, white men get away with this stuff all the time we not white and all of us black business owners anybody out there that's black in a position of power you need to put that at the top of your mission statement I am NOT white I am NOT a white man I cannot move the way that they move in In fact, you gotta move a hundred times better

You gotta be more focused. You just got to you gotta have more discipline Did he did not have any of that and I don't know why we not having that conversation We also got a we also got a pull the curtain back to right because a lot of the stuff that did he did or People think it's cool. And we'll be honest. You can't tell me that you haven't heard a group of dudes say, I'm going to DR, I'm going to Columbia, I'm doing this. It happens all the time. I haven't heard that. You're lying.

I've heard it. You haven't heard it? I don't know nobody who's been listening to this prostitute. I know people who've been doing that, but at the end of the day, I literally used to be sitting there like, but you're Diddy. Do you not understand? I'm listening to voice messages. Every time I listen to it, I'm going to be sitting there like, but you're a ditty. Like, do you not understand? Like, I'm listening to voice messages. We having these conversations

because everybody thinks tricking and prostitution is the same thing. Like I see people saying things like, I'm not flying out no girls no more. Nobody said anything about flying out girls. He was flying out prostitutes. It's a difference. Well, that's because they tried to make it seem

like the two girlfriends, Jane Doe and Cassie, they tried to add that into the whole, like with the traffic. I didn't see that. I just saw him flying in the middle. They tried to, the government tried it with that. And picking the penises. Yeah, but I just think regardless, what? He was picking the penises. You told me this.

No, he was. You reported that he was lining them up and he was picking the penises saying I need somebody to pound, I need somebody to pound. You lined them up? Yes. That's dynamical. He was picking them and he would be like, that's a quarter pounder, that's a Big Mac, that's a chicken nugget, I don't want that. I need somebody to pound. You line them up? Yes. That's dynamical. He was picking them and he would be like, that's a quarter pounder, that's a Big Mac,

that's a chicken nugget, I don't want that. I'm in Don McDonald's menu, I did not. That's double meat, that's double meat. You said that, you said that. See that's why we can't take nothing serious. No we can't. I never said that. I am serious about the accountability portion.

I don't wanna hear any conversations about anything. By the way, you can have conversations about whatever you want to have. I'm just simply saying at what point are we going to have a conversation about people, one individual, you looking in the mirror, holding yourself accountable and having the discipline. Marvet Brittle always says, salute to Marvet Brittle, my good sister Marvet Brittle, she always says that your talent will take you where your character can't sustain you. How many more people do we want to see crash and burn because they got piss poor character? Hello who's this? Hi this is Brittany. Hey Brittany come on in what's your thoughts Brittany? Yeah no I just wanted to say that I completely agree with

everything that Charlemagne was saying about taking personal accountability for our actions. There was a lot of conversation in the room about you know the enablers and, you know, his children have to witness all of that. And everything that Charlamagne kept coming back was right on point. Like, he knew all of that when he engaged in these actions, he knew they were wrong. Despite what everybody around him was doing, he had a personal choice to participate. And so therefore, I think he should be held accountable for his actions.

We got to stop making excuses for bad behavior. I agree. Thank you Brittany. Hello, who's this? Michelle. Hey Michelle, good morning. What's your thoughts? You know what I just did?

I think they're doing did it wrong. I know he's a freak. I know he does some real foul stuff. You know, with caffeine, whatever. But this was a regular person on the street. For domestic violence, they would get a year probation, you know, on fine and be on their way. They're trying to do it.

They're trying to do it. They're trying to do it. They're trying to do it. They're trying to do it. They're trying to do it. They're trying to do it. They the street for domestic violence. They would get a year probation, you know, are fined and be on their way. They're trying to booing that man. And I think they wrong. And then you need to treat him like a regular citizen and give him what the guidelines say for a note. He had no previous convictions. I'm from Columbus, Georgia. Kim Porter, that's my homegirl. We love daddy man

He brought the whole country to the city when she passed. He's a real one He got some issues, but they're trying to ruin that man They need to get up him get up get up off him and give him what he deserved Which is he a first-time offender and then they need to go by the guidelines and not trying to railroad that man. That's my thought. And listen, I can't even sit here and say that she's wrong. But at what point does you say did he ruin himself? No, he did ruin himself. At what point do we stop saying this man has got railroaded? Listen, all of that can be true. He got railroaded. It was a shakedown. But god damn how much did he give people to shake? Yeah, he allowed it to happen.

I feel like with us we used to have a conversation about the man versus the government, that nobody wants to... People are not focused on that. They focused on, but the government shouldn't have been able to, because they did so much in the beginning, and then it all resulted in these prostitution charges. That's what the issue is. It's like, people don't... It's not they don't care, but they want to focus on us versus the government. Because that's the conversation we always have. When you black in this country, it's always going to be you versus the government. So don't give the government any ammo.

I get what you're saying, but I also understand what Lauren is saying. It's not the fact that he got charged, it's the fact that what they did, they raided all his houses. They came in helicopters. They came by sea. They put his kids in cuffs. You know why? They took all the baby oil out.

You know why? And the astroglide. That's what you missed the most. You couldn't find no astroglide for a month. You know why? They did all that because he's black and he knew he was black. So why was he moving like he wasn't? Like we can't have conversations about black excellence and make excuses for the bad behavior that is ruining black excellence. make excuses for the bad behavior that is ruining black excellence. Now if you don't know, did he have what, five major charges? Three of them would drop?

Yes. Three of them would drop. He had the prostitution charge, which was hiring a prostitute and transporting them across state lines, correct? Two counts of that. Two counts of that. So we're asking 800-585-1051. What are your thoughts?

We got Brandon on the line. Brandon, good morning. Good morning, good morning. What's your thoughts, Brandon? Good morning, Brandon. How y'all doing? Good,1. What are your thoughts? We got Brandon on the line. Brandon, good morning. Good morning, good morning. What's your thoughts, Brandon? Good morning, Brandon. How y'all doing? Good, brother.

Let him like him, how he feels. I feel it was wrong, and at the same time, other people get away with things far more worse. And I'm going to say like this, it's a time right now to reflect, accept responsibility, and hold yourself accountable. I just came out of this system so you know when he going there it's not when he got a sentencing guidelines so he's not gonna get much time because he got low points so he won't get if he get four years he can take the RDAP program which is going to knock time off he can halfway house he'll be home and he has some change you know I'm saying but at the same time is a time to pray time to

reflect and accept responsibility because that's what them people will ask him when he go to sentencing they said do you accept responsibility for what you've done he say yes they give him a three three points which is a downward departure which knocks time off so if he accepts responsibility for what he did he can move forward and reflect on what he did and he has to hold himself accountable let me say one more thing. Go ahead, Brenna. Envy. Yes, sir.

Brother, we were way back, brother. Since Derby run, I used to come to your crib with you, Mel and Sean. My brother Travis used to mess with Nicole Ray. So yeah, so I just want to say what's up to you and we'll be at your car show, brother. All right, can't wait to see you. Yes, sir. Be safe. I also want to say is another thing, is Diddy has a problem, right? It seems like he's addicted to drugs. What do you mean?

For sure. He has a sex addiction. And he has a sex addiction in my opinion. Yeah, it seems like he has a sex addiction as well. He has to get those things. He was waiting on the feds in the hotel and everything that we'd heard described as the freak off materials were in the hotel.

There's a big issue. And the violence towards women. Yes. Like all of that is projection And the violence towards women. Yes. Like all of that is projection. Correct. So he needs help. This man has a problem. And that's why I keep saying over and over,

I feel like people aren't going to learn a damn thing from this Diddy situation. Cause I'm not hearing enough conversations about that. Where is the accountability? Yeah, even if he gets no time, that's like, he needs help on the drugs. He needs help on the sex addiction he needs help on those things because obviously it's a situation problem. We shouldn't even be having no

conversations about what is Diddy gonna do when he comes home I don't care what this man does professionally I care about what this man should be doing personally in his own life he need to be out there going to get help. But there's millions of people that think like like you know what you said like the mogul that who he is and who he's been to people all these decades like they can't see past Diddy and you know his power and his celebrity. They just like that lady called like she like man he talk about she was talking about the good things that he's done and you know. He's helped a lot of people and the only reason I always say is because I always what I realized in this industry and with people you can't count Nobody's money. You can't count nobody's check. You don't know what somebody's lifestyle is or what it does

So in my opinion, you're gonna have to work, right? You know, I mean his work is different than our work his bills is way different than our bills But who's gonna work with it? That's that's my point I don't know I'm telling you it's somebody that'll work with it Zeus? Zeus Network will be right Maybe? Zeus Network That's my point. I don't know. I'm telling you, there's somebody that'll work with you. Zeus? Zeus Network will be right.

Maybe? Zeus Network? Lamel looked just like him too, so when will he know? I seen Zeus out in Vegas. They were shooting a show with Jocelyn. I seen Jocelyn. Yo, and they just dropped the movie. They got William Freeman in the movie.

Man, yeah. You never know, but you know. Hello, who's this? This is my Vic from Miami. Vic from Miami, what's up? Talk to us. What's your thoughts, brother? What's up? What's up, what's up? Talk to us, what's your thoughts, brother? What's up? What's up with y'all, man?

Good morning. Good morning, everybody. I hear y'all saying y'all wonder what Diddy gonna be doing, man, when he get out. Diddy already putting the plan together. Y'all know he a business man. When Diddy get out, Diddy coming out with the OnlyFans, man. He gonna make more money than he did before. See, people don't taste that. And people are gonna pay That's the reality of the situation hello, who's this? What's up, brother, what's your thoughts on the diddy situation Free diddy free diddy to his backwards now. Let that man come home. He beat the Rico

Yes, he got charges against him still but that should be light enough for him to go to home to his family. Thank you. Hello, who's this? Good morning. This is princess calling from NYC. Yes, I agree 100% with what Charlemagne said. Diddy is a very sick individual. Now it was time for Cassie to kick him when he was down and stopped him from getting bond and let him stay down until he gets the help that he needs and he better hope that his daughters, his four daughters don't get involved and the same stuff that he did to Cassie is done to his four daughters.

Okay. All right. All right. Well, what's the moral of the story? Cassie is done to his four daughters. Okay. All right. All right, well what's the moral of the story? The moral of the story for me is making excuses for bad behavior is not black excellence. You know, Diddy should come home and then go away. Go do the work on yourself, therapy, drug rehab,

get closer to God. We know the system, railroad's black men. We know the system shakes down black men. So why do we constantly give them things to you? So what happened at Chappaquiddick? Well, it really depends on who you talk to there are many versions of what happened in 1969 when a young Ted Kennedy drove a car into a pond and left a woman behind To drown there's a famous headline. I think in the New York Daily News It's Teddy escapes blonde drowns.

And in a strange way, right, that sort of tells you. The story really became about Ted's political future, Ted's political hopes. Will Ted become president? Chappaquiddick is a story of a tragic death and how the Kennedy machine took control. And he's not the only Kennedy to survive a scandal. The Kennedys have lived through disgrace, affairs, violence, you name it. So is there a curse? Every week we go behind the headlines and beyond the drama of America's royal family.

Every week I sit down with your favorite book lovers, authors, celebrities, book talkers, and more to explore the stories that shape us, on the page and off. I've been reading every Reese's Book Club pick, deep diving book talk theories, and obsessing over book to screen casts for years. And now I get to talk to the people making the magic.

So if you've ever fallen in love with a fictional character or cried at the last chapter or passed a book to a friend saying, you have to read this, this podcast is for you. Listen to Bookmarked by Reese's Book Club on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. For My Heart podcasts and Rococo Punch, this is The Turning, River Road. I knew I wanted to obey and submit, but I didn't fully grasp for the rest of my life what that meant. In the woods of Minnesota, a cult leader married himself to ten girls and forced them into

a secret life of abuse. Why did I think that way? Why did I allow myself to get so sucked in by this man and thinking to the point that if I died for him, that would be the greatest honor? But in 2014, the youngest of the girls escaped and sparked an international manhunt. For all those years, you know, he was the predator and I was the prey. And then he became the prey. Listen to The Turning River Road on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your

podcasts. Shake, we have to move 100 times more responsibly. We have to be 100 times more focused. Diddy wasn't, and that's why he's in this situation. And he may have beat the Rico, but you can't beat God. You cannot beat God. So, we can sit around and have all of these conversations about the system and the feds overcharging him.

All of that may be true, but at what point are we gonna have conversations about how he gave this system something to shake? I agree. At what point? What is the personal responsibility? No, I agree. I think that he should get help on himself.

And I would love to hear a comeback story of somebody that's changed. Yeah. That looked within himself and honestly, truly changed. Cause anybody can change. Everybody can. The drug use, the violence towards women, like we gonna act, really act like we really didn't see

what we just saw. No, you're right. Hey, come on y'all. Hey, come on man. You're right. All right, well we got the latest with Lauren coming up. What we talking about Lauren? We do, we gonna lift the spirits a little bit,

They submitted a $5.5 billion bid to the New York State Gaming Commission to build a world-class resort casino in Southeast Queens. Nas posted a video on his Instagram where you see him walking through and he opens up his briefcase and there's like a licensing contract that he signs and he's talking about his time to invest in us because he is going to help with the expansion of that casino when it gets to Queens.

Why can't Nas get his in Queens and Jay get his in Times Square? I don't know. I'm sure they could, but I think there's a bunch of people trying to get the license. So it's not just them two. I think it's like six people. Well, some people dropped out. Yeah, one big company dropped out, I forgot, I can't remember the name of it. So it'd be dope if one gets to the Queens

in one of those cities, that'd be great. That is amazing. Yes, congratulations to them. I was trying to see how the licensing breakdown worked, but I don't know the answer to that.

See if he punish you. Alright guys I'm sorry. Well in other New York City news our girl Cardi B yes it is an old boy because over the weekend she scrubbed her Instagram clean of all of

the photos with her and Stefan Diggs. So now reports are that there may be trouble in paradise. I have reached out to Cardi B's team trying to figure out what this means and I have not heard back yet. But normally when this happens, there is something going on. So of course the fans grab that and they're trying to break down and digest what is happening. Stefan Diggs however does still have the photos up on his Instagram of the swipe throughs with Cardi.

There's been back and forth online. There was a young woman who got online and apologized for some things. We have the audio of that. Let's take a listen to the audio. I just want to apologize for video that was posted because I don't want it to continue to insinuate a story that is untrue. I don't want to use TikTok like that. Let's take a listen to the audio. for somebody in a relationship. So any stories based on these allegations are absolutely false. And I hope nobody has to be tied to these false pretenses. So what she's talking about this young lady there, there was an allegation right now that there was a photo taken in a house that may belong to Stefan Diggs. So they're trying to link this woman with him. And after all of this linking was happening online, Cardi

B then removed the photo. So people think that one connects to the other. But again, I've reached out trying to confirm and don't know what is what as of right now. But yeah, there's that. And then Offset got unnecessary shots in this too. People were trying to say that he was posting, celebrating, and he had to clarify that he was not. He was celebrating his music.

Yeah. Like he was celebrating like right after this news drop. Well, he was just online, on live playing his music. But yeah. Like he was celebrating like right after this news drop. Well he was just online playing his music. He was at a pool and it's a holiday weekend. So people like, oh he's celebrating. He's like, I'm celebrating my music. Like I don't even know what's happening. Emoji, I was playing bodies the whole fourth.

Bodies so fire. Crazy. Yeah. Bodies so fire. Yeah, he's celebrating the music doing well. It feels like the bag ain't get dropped behind bodies yet though. Not like it should, it's not moving music doing well. It feels like the bag ain't get dropped behind bodies yet though. Not like it should, it's not moving, especially over a holiday weekend.

I tell you what it is, outside. I've been hearing that record. Outside is like the summer anthem. Yeah, outside been rocking in the clubs, but bodies is dope. Definitely. Bodies is really dope. Well, in other celebrity relationship news, our girl Keisha Cole, remember she was up here talking about the tattoo she had?

Oh, two weeks ago, yes. Yes. So she had a tattoo from rap artist Honcho, and she talked about not being ready to remove it, but she has. Let's take a listen to her here on the Breakfast Club. Are you single? Um, yes. Or is it complicated?

No, it's not complicated at all. It's very much given single. Are you single? Yes. Or is it complicated? No, it's not complicated at all. It's very much given single. Are you dating? I take compliments. But am I ready to move on? No, I still got the tattoo here so I can't like I feel like until when I if I I don't know. You love fast though. Wow, that's really. I've seen you and you seem like you're in love fast really I've seen you and you seem like you're in love fast like you love love He means like you you're you're locked into the love Damn lauren had my back. I was frying me No, that wasn't a stray you you did that it was I know what you meant, but it sounded crazy on this face Did you love fair? Yeah?

There was a video of Keisha Cole getting a tattoo removed And I actually reached out to Keisha Cole and spoke to her briefly like why she decided to now get it removed because she said she wasn't tripping off of it and what she Wrote back to me was that you know she says that hono has kids coming or like he's, I guess, building a family at this point. Oh my god. And she wants to, you know, she doesn't want to be in the way of that. So all is well that ends well. And I think, you know, it just means she's I mean, she'd already moved on,

but this is just, I guess, the last piece of that. So. You have a whole family? I don't know if it's a whole family. I don't know if it's a half family. I just know what she's doing. So she hit you back and said that? Yes. Well, hey! I had to get it deleted.

Y'all saw it, go ahead. I'm still thinking about Jay-Z and Nas both being part of bids to get casinos in New York City. Do you know how big that is? Drop on the clues bar for Jay-Z and Nas. That is amazing. I don't think people understand because they so rich and they be doing so much stuff. I don't think people get it.

Like they both submitted requests for proposals for something like that on the same, well everybody had to do it on the same day, but that's the architect of reasonable doubt and Illmatic and they're both part of bids to get casinos in their hometowns in New York City. Just think about it, they both came from the hood. Nas from Queensbridge and Jay from Marcy and what they did with their music catalogs and how they turned it to big business with investments. Nas with Uber and Ring. Who datin' who is cute and who gettin' tattoos who is cute but god damn. The liquor brands, rock nations, the 90's mission. All of it is nice though, all of it. And this is great. And where they are now in life. For New York, this is gonna be, real great, even greater for New York. This is amazing. I love it. No scandals around them.

That's two good brothers. I love it, man. Yeah. I liked all the news this hour. I thought it was a nice little mixture of everything. All right. Yes. Well, that is the latest for Lauren. Shalaman, who you giving that donkey to? Man, let's talk conspiracy theories. Epstein-less. Is it or ain't it? They said it ain't. Is it or ain't it? You've been ruining teases. Ha!

You know what I'm saying? I'm an A.O.! You've been ruining teases. Hello! You know what, it's not your fault. That's why you need to have that check, me. Okay, it's not your fault. It's the consultant's fault,

the program director for not having those conversations with you. I thought you really didn't know, my bad. Seriously. It's the Breakfast Club fault, the program director, for not having those conversations with you. I thought you really didn't know, my bad. Seriously, it's the breakfast club. We'll be back. Come on, baby! This is a miracle. There is no question that there are problems in this country between police and community. Yes, you are a donkey.

The latest on that police killing of a black man. Now the new developments in the deadly spa shooting rampage. Uh, man, yesterday was a really bad day for him and this is what he did. And so we are in a state of emergency. Okay, white supremacy is violence is and always has been the number one threat to our society. But I'm also very proud that my wife is white.

Black man. To the breakfast club, bitches. Alright, Sean Dean, please tell me why was I your donkey of the day? Yes Donkey of the day for Tuesday July 8th goes to the Department of Justice and the FBI for releasing yesterday that they have no evidence that convicted sex offender and disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein had a client list. Okay, not to mention that he did indeed die by suicide. Now I'm not about to sit here and argue with you about whether or not Epstein was killed or died by suicide.

I truly have no idea. But the reason the DOJ and the FBI are getting donkey today is because they put out a statement that concluded they have no evidence that convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein kept a client list and no evidence that he blackmailed powerful figures. Let's go to ABC News for the report, please.

Overnight, the FBI and Justice Department releasing 11 hours of footage they say helps confirm notorious financier Jeffrey Epstein died by suicide in his Manhattan jail cell in 2019, awaiting his sex trafficking trial. But perhaps the biggest bombshell, investigators say they found no incriminating client list of Epstein's, no credible evidence

that Epstein blackmailed prominent individuals and no evidence that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties. For years, Epstein has been at the center of conspiracies surrounding both his death and a rumored client list allegedly used to blackmail powerful men. And just last month, while feuding with President Trump, Elon Musk posting, time to drop the really big bomb. At real Donald Trump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, Donald J. Trump.

But Musk later deleted that post and others saying he went too far in attacking Trump. The president saying he cut ties with Epstein nearly two decades ago saying even Epstein's lawyer cleared him. You know what? I'm going to dismiss the blackmailing a powerful figure statement just like I dismissed the did he get killed or die by suicide convo because I can't prove either one of those things but the client list the only reason I know or thought I knew it was a client list is because y'all told us there was a client list okay Pam Bondi the attorney general said

back in February on Fox News that an alleged client list was sitting on her desk and would soon be released. Do we have that audio? The DOJ may be releasing the list of Jeffrey Epstein's clients. Will that really happen? It's sitting on my desk right now to review. That's been a directive by President Trump. I'm reviewing that.

I'm reviewing JFK files, MLK files. That's all in the process of being reviewed because that was done at the directive of the president from all of these agencies. So, so have you seen anything there? You said, oh my gosh. Not yet. Okay. Well, we'll check back with you.

I was attorney general Pam Bondi. She says she had been, been made aware of the existence of thousands of pages of previously undisclosed documents and she ordered the FBI to provide the full and complete Epstein files. You heard it just now. Was she lying then when she said she had the client list on her desk? Are they lying to us now when they say there is no client list? Why is Delaine Maxwell serving a 20 year sentence for child sex trafficking and related offenses if there is no client list? Why was Jeffrey Epstein in prison if there was no client list?

Why does our government think we are dumb? The reality is there's probably a lot of powerful people on the Epstein list and folks like to say, well, of course it's not coming out because the president is on it. Donald Trump is on it. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but look at the flight logs Okay, look at the Epstein flight log some of your favorite Democrats like Bill Clinton We're on Epstein's plane as well. Okay, Prince Andrew politicians from Israel doesn't mean they were participating in anything nefarious They they might have just been using the jet My point is Donald Trump is the only powerful figure which supposed ties to Jeffrey Epstein

Trust me. There was quite a few powerful people who wanted to make that list go apricot dabber. Okay? Poof be gone. Alright? MAGA you have every right to be upset. YouTube Conspiracy Theorists you have every right to be upset. But take this as a win.

Every single thing you have possibly said about the Epstein files, everything you have heard about the Epstein files, it's probably true. You know why? Because people are more what they hide than what they show. So for hiding the Epstein client list, please give the DOJ and the FBI the sweet sounds of the Hamilton's. All right, well thank you for that donkey today. Yes indeed. All right, when we come back, let's open up the phone lines. 800-585-1051. Now, probably one of the biggest shows out right now is Love Island.

Yes. The biggest. I don't watch it. Gentlemen, you watch it? No. I hear about it all the time. I watch it every now and then. It comes on literally every day except Wednesdays.

Every day except Wednesdays. Now this young lady named Sierra Ortiga, she was kicked off because of a racial slur post. Used in Twitter like years ago. Used on Twitter years ago. That's right. What was the slur post used in Twitter like years ago used on Twitter years ago that's right so what was the slur you know what they be saying about people eyes when they squint them real low well read the statement what was the statement I'm not reading this thing you know how when you get high your eyes like you can't really see well you when you have an allergic reaction your eyes swell up so bad correct a lot of people that walk around, they born like that. They don't have it.

This is a whole story. She basically used the term binky. And it rhymes with inky. What is binky? It rhymes with binky and inky. And it's your eyes. It describes some, you know what? You a blood?

And it's a whole community of people, their eyes, they can't help for their eyes to be like that. Right. So the Asian community was upset. And they say Asian hate is oftentimes overlooked and dismissed. Because of the eyes? Yeah, so Lauren just sent it to you, so. Just sent me what? The actual, what the individual said. Let me see, I'm looking for it right now.

Ain't she Asian? Oh no. No, she's not Asian. She's Latino, I believe. Okay. So we're asking 800-585-1051. She should be kicked off. I think she was describing her eyes. She was talking about Botox. She said, Botox isn't for everyone but I love it for me. I am incredibly expressive with my face and I catch myself frowning for no reason throughout the day when I'm focusing on something or thinking too hard lol. I can also be a little slur when I laugh, smile, so I love getting a mini brow lift to open up my eyes

and get that snitch look. That is not me encouraging, but more so sharing. And this was 2015. 2015. Yes, and she was speaking on herself. Like she was just, you know what I'm saying? What other word like do you know? You know what I'm saying? What other word, like, do you know? You know what I'm saying?

And her defense was like, what other word do you know? We grew up saying, ee-hee. I will say this though, growing up, I didn't know that was a slur. Yeah, exactly. We always used it to describe somebody's eyes. Which means somebody's. Like, even my eyes. Oh, you know that, that is in the rap song.

Rayquan said that on Ice Cream. Yeah, they would even say it to describe my eyes when I was a kid growing up. They would say, your eyes is this. It wasn't a slur. We just used the term. Now of course Asian people consider it a slur so they don't like the word and that's why she was kicked off. So let's have that conversation.

Should she have got kicked off? 800-585-1051 or should they have spoke to her about it and saying this is what a racial slur and we don't like it and give her an opportunity apologize and say look I won't use it I wasn't using it for that she didn't use it as a slur that's for sure that's my point yeah like something has to be teachable moments and some things are a slur and she didn't use it as a slur she used it as describing like describing her eyes but I'm also not Asian you know what I'm saying she would have been like I got a niggery nose I got a niggery nose? Nobody said that.

Nobody says that. I think it's very racist when they say certain people can't drive because of that you know what I'm saying? You ever heard them people say oh Asian people can't drive because their eyes is inky. You shut your niggery lips. And I'm like that's still my son because they shouldn't say that But even when what's his name what's the dude name he said nappy headed nappy head he owes Yeah, wasn't he a coach? He was talking about the ruckus I don't know this call up. Yeah, yeah, we'll just chat 800-585-105

It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Mm-mm. Pull out your phone. Call in right now. Call me. Add your opinion to the Breakfast Club topic. Break it down. 800-585-105-1. The Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club.

He started calling my phone. Tell her I made it. It's topic time. Call 800-585-105-1 to join in to the discussion with The Breakfast Club. Morning everybody, it's DJ Envy, JustHilarious, Charlamagne the Guy, we are The Breakfast Club. Now if you're just joining us, we're talking about Love Island, one of the biggest shows on TV right now. If not the biggest.

One of the girls got kicked off, her name was Ciara Or Ortega And that's because she used a racial slur. So Solomon you got the actual post of what she said. Yes back in 2015 she had just gotten Botox. So she said Botox isn't for everyone, but I love it for me I am incredibly expressive with my face and I catch myself frowning for no reason throughout the day when I'm focusing on something or Thinking too hard lol. I can also be a little slur when I laugh, smile, so I love getting a mini brow lift to open up my eyes and get that snatched look. This is not me encouraging, but more so sharing.

Right, so if you don't know, she was talking about her eyes being low, right? So we're asking 800-585-1051, what happened to Ciara? Should she have been kicked off of the show? What I'm realizing too though is somebody else had just gotten kicked off the show for using some type of racial slur. The n-word. Oh they they say what did they say you niggery eyes? No, I don't think it's a niggery eyes.

What they say? They probably just say nigger. But let me let me see exactly what the person. I don't know what the statement was. So I guess you know what the statement was. So I guess, you know, equal opportunity, right? But I guess to me it would be a difference between using the N-word and using that word.

What do you call it? Is that the C-word? I didn't even know that was a thing. But I think it's a difference because in the case of her using it, she was using it as a descriptor for her own eyes. Right. And you know, growing up listening to like,

you know Wu Tang used to use that word a lot. You know what I mean? Like not as a racial slur either. They would use it to describe, you know, how their eyes look after smoking weed a lot of times. Right. But you know, as a kid, a lot of people, even with me, I had, well, what term can I use now?

I had, what can I say, cat eyes? Is cat eyes fine? I had quote unquote cat eyes. So now I had what can I say cat eyes cuz cat eyes fine I had quote unquote cat eyes so they would always say my eyes look like that you want to be everything but black I don't know what happened they just opened up one day like what happened what you talking about no they're not not even not at all you want to be Dominican you want to be hey you want to be everything but you why can't you just be who you are? Be gay in Dominican hello

Marcus what's up man talk to us what shit doors Marcus You know what I'm saying? Like, I mean, y'all were just saying it was in the rap song, who that was? Snoop Dogg. Snoop Dogg. Snoop Dogg said it was in the rap song on Holiday Inn. Oh, he did? Yeah, when he was, his eyes was this slurred and he was with King G at the Holiday Inn.

Like man, no harm, no foul. Everybody always offended when something happened to somebody of a different race, but they don't nobody care when it happened to Black people, so I don't care. That is true. I guess for me, man, I wish that the conversation was had. I don't know what the other girl said. I don't watch the show,

so I don't know what the other girl said in regards to the N-word, so I don't know how it was used. They said she said it on the podcast, but like you said, I don't know how it was used as well. Yeah, I need to know how it was used. But to this, I'm gonna be honest with you, I agree with our last caller. I don't really care.

If Asians say that they upset about it and she got kicked off or she stepped down. But if she didn't use it as a slur and she used it to describe herself, right? Whatever happened to conversations? Like, nah, that's not what we do and the reason why. We don't have conversations anymore. We just quick to cancel somebody and throw them off the show?

Well, it wouldn't be, well, maybe it wouldn't be fair. If she had, if she didn't get kicked off when the other girl got kicked off, then it might not be fair. What happened? If the other girl got kicked off and they didn't kick her off and had a conversation with her, then people would be like,

why didn't you have a conversation with the girl that said the N-word? Well, let's be honest. How can you use the N-word in a way to describe something? Right? We heard that before. It's some powerful niggatry at work here. Well, yeah, yeah, yeah.

It don't gotta be black. Mm-hmm Nah, what do you mean if you describe something you're implying that it's black if you're describing something then yes But you use that term you're not describing right What do you mean it depends? Very broad the word ink is very like is much more broad, you know what I mean? I need to see what the woman said. We didn't know that, you just read it. No, no, I'm talking about the woman that used the N-word.

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

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

So is there a curse? Every week we go behind the headlines and beyond the drama of America's royal family. Listen to United States of Kennedy on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. iHeartRadioApp, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. My Uncle Chris is definitely somebody worth talking about. He was the kind of guy that lived in a trailer with an ex-con and a retired stripper, left

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

So if you've ever fallen in love with a fictional character or cried at the last chapter or passed a book to a friend saying, you have to read this, this podcast is for you. Listen to Bookmarked by Reese's Book Club on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. For my heart podcasts and Rococo Punch,

this is the turning river road. I knew I wanted to obey and submit, but I didn't fully grasp for the rest of my life what that meant. In the woods of Minnesota, a cult leader married himself to 10 girls and forced them into a secret life of abuse. Why did I think that way? Why did I allow myself to get so sucked in by this man and and thinking to the point that if I died for him that would be the greatest honor?

by this man and thinking to the point that if I died for him, that would be the greatest honor. But in 2014, the youngest of the girls escaped and sparked an international manhunt. For all those years, he was the predator and I was the prey. And then he became the prey. Listen to The Turning, River Road, on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Like I can't, there's no way to use the N-word in a way that's- Yeah, well yeah. Like why-

That's not true. What if you're using it as a term of endearment? Like how we- when we make excuses for using it, what if you're doing it like that? What if you're rapping a song? What if you're a white girl and you were rapping a song? If she was rapping a song and she got carried away, you'd just be like, hey, don't say it. You don't What if you're rapping a song? What if you're a white girl and you're rapping a song? If she was rapping a song and she got carried away, you'd just be like, hey, don't say it. You don't cancel if she's rapping a song.

What if she was on the podcast and she was like, she referring to one of her other white girls and she was like, yo, this my n***a right here. I don't know. I mean, by the way, I don't know. Oh, what if one of them get their lips done and they'd be like, oh, your lips are looking really igger.

That's a little too far. We have Linda on the line. Linda, good morning. Morning. How's everybody? Good. Good. Now, Linda, you're Korean American? I'm Korean American. Okay. So what do you think about it? Anyway, um, yeah, I feel like that she should not pick up, but you should at least apologize. I think it's it is sort of be

an Asian that we are pretty sensitive when it comes to that word. I mean I used to use that word back in the day And my family, you know, like my husband is Puerto Rican from New York So I know that you know that word was used a lot But I don't think she should have been kicked off. See I agree with you and I think sometimes teaching people I don't think she should have been kicked off. See, I agree with you, and I think sometimes teaching people, especially when people have been raised saying it, because in New York, we use that term when we describe

somebody's eyes or somebody's smoking or low eyes. That was a term. Not until I got a lot older that I realized it was a racial slur. But as a child, it was just used. And I think sometimes we need to have those teachable moments without canceling somebody right away. Yeah Exactly. Yeah, I feel the same like I mean cuz that's my generation too Like we use a lot of different words back in the day like what Dan word you ever use that one

Slur that was in every rep like what which one crazy the one that rhymes with maggot fraggle maggot. Yes, man every rep Maggie that was the one that we yeah Maggie Mylilander yeah Word, you know, like we people are more sensitive. Well our words now we gotta bring back to them. With all words. Now we gotta bring back Reed. Right? So you can't do it with Reed.

Oh no, no, no, no, no, no. That one, that one, that one. I'm not giving, I'm telling y'all right now, I'm never giving that one up. Okay? I know man. That's Charlamagne's word. I'm telling you, you gotta use it,

because what I did, there's no other way to describe some people. Last time you said all the, all the, they called up and they was upset with you. They called, they made a number. That never happened. They called up? That never happened.

What the hell? They was mad as hell, Charlamagne. that never happened. They called up. That never happened. What the hell? They was mad as hell and something like that. That never happened. They did. By the way, the crazy thing about all of these slurs, at least for me, I can't speak for everybody. Okay. Growing up, we never used the slurs

for who I guess they were intended for. Right. Like, you never called a gay person a gay slur. I never did. No, I didn't. You called your homeboys that, you know what I'm saying? You never called the- Same thing with the person, I never did. You know you call your homeboys that. You know what I'm saying? You never called the- Same thing with the re-

With the re- We didn't, we never called- We didn't call actual people with mental disabilities the R word. We called your homeboy. We called a homie. He being ripped right now. Yeah.

Yup. That'd be crazy if somebody walked up to somebody Asian and was like, oh, you guys are, you know, they'd be like, what? You know? My dad did call me a maggot one time, a fraggle maggot one time though. He was right It was something that you use a sarak boy used to wear jeans with your ass out

I got an errand when I got an errand 800 585 105 one let's discuss this young lady was kicked off of love island because she said a racial slur in Describing her eyes. She was describing her eyes and she used it on Twitter I think in 2015. Describing her own eyes. Should she be kicked off the show, let's discuss this at the Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. We're talking about this young lady that got kicked off of Love Island. Her name is Sierra Ortega. Now she was describing her eyes in a 2005 post. 2015. 2015 post where she was talking about Botox

and she said her eyes look a little rhymes with binky. Now I'm learning more, cause you know everybody watches Love Island, everybody I know watches Love Island. For sure. Correct. The young lady, Ulissa Escobar, she got kicked off Love Island because they pulled up clips from her

Podcast where she used the n-word excessively. Well, she I can't tell who's who I don't know which one When it's two girls, which one is the Ulysses said none of them are black They're both Latino. They're both Latino. Okay, so Ulyssa uses it the first time and she's referring to one of her homegirls and she says are you that N word whatever whatever. Let's play the clip.

Are you that that controls what she wears or you perfect but that's it. Now I'm he's mine. All right, so we're asking 800-585-1051. You fuck my n***a perfect, but that's it. Now I'm fucking my n***a. He's my n***a. Bye, bye, n***a. All right, so we're asking 800-585-1051. She should be kicked off the show. Now... I don't think either one of them should have been kicked off.

I will say this. In New York, growing up, Spanish people used the term n***a. Yep. And it's not a thing because that's how we grew up. We all, we were all grew up together. I know in certain places that doesn't happen. I know in California. I know Mexicans use the term and that's how they grew up. Yeah. So when you hear a Latino person, I mean JLo said it, Fat Joe says it. I ain't never hear JLo say s***.

Oh my god. Yeah, that's a big thing. It was in that song. Yeah, so when you hear it, it's not nothing new because that's how we grew up in New York. It really is not. you hear it, it's nothing new because that's how we grew up in New York. It really is not. Well, Ulyssa did put out an apology saying that she's owning her mistakes, she's speaking her truth, she didn't know better back then, she knows better now. I don't be honest with you, I don't give a damn. Yeah, like she wasn't using it as a racial slur, she wasn't talking, you know what I'm saying?

That you can tell she was just comfortable, although they had mics and all of that stuff, it was a podcast, but she was referring to somebody she was although they had The slanted eye where it was a bad word. Yeah, I mean I found out years ago But as a kid that and then can be confusing for some people too because y'all use it as a term of endearment Okay, so that's how she was using it. She was using it Like how you would hear some black dudes in the hood or some black woman in the hood use it You know, it's like bitch with women. Yeah Yeah. Hello. Who's this? Hey Brittany talk to us. What's your thoughts? Yes, I just think they went so overboard.

They could have just let her know that it was just a slur now. There's not many ways that you can describe that look. Just like if she had a black eye, what was she supposed to say? Now, now, now, there's only one way. You ain't never heard nobody say I'll give you a guy now. What's she supposed to say? No, no, no, no. There's only one way. You ain't never heard nobody say, I'll give you a n*** eye now. That ain't never happened.

Okay, it's black eye. But black is still, if you use it... Black is a color. ...if you use it offensively, it can be offensive to us. No, that's true. But black is a color though. I hate you blacks. If I take your person, they can't call you the color though. I hate you blacks

Yes, I hate you blacks your black ass don't make me beat your black ass Thank you mom it's all about the usage of the word You know saying like like like somebody said under this girl's post was her name Escobar. They said she's not sorry She's only sorry that she got caught. She said it on a podcast It's not like she was trying to hide it. Like got caught is crazy. Hello, who's this? This is Rockstar. What's up, bro? What are you calling from?

I'm calling from Charlotte, North Carolina. All right, what's your thoughts, brother? Well, I think that they just use an app for the Asian community to have a word like the N word. Everybody wants to have an N word. Everybody can't have it. I don't even want us to have it. We shouldn't have it.

Hey, I'm gonna be honest with you guys. I don't care who uses it because we turned it into something that we use in a whole lot of different ways. You're a liar. If a white man came up to you right now and called you the N wordword you would be upset stop lying But now I just think that it's used by all all people using it now Yeah, everybody love it not even are you not even if he walk up to you in cut

But if a white guy walk up to you, right and be like, yo, what's gonna with them niggas down the street? How you gonna feel about that? No, it's the way he presented if they presented like hey, and you don't know you'll know when somebody's presenting to you that way But if a white guy came up to me, what's that? I'd be like It's good I'd be like, good. Good. Hey, yo.

Goodbye, sir. What's the moral of the story? I don't find that funny. I think that this is, I think you a silly n***a. I'm going to be honest with you. The person that just called, if you let a white man just say my n***a, that's a little silly, man. You know what I'm saying?

It's a little silly. Listen, I think Love Island is fair. All right. man you know what I'm saying it's a little silly. Listen I think Love Island is fair all right both of those women Ulissa Escobar, Ciara Ortega both use slurs in non-slur ways and they both got kicked off the show. I don't really see the issue if they both got kicked off the show for using slurs that's fair. It's crazy I will never see none of the mad Asians they always be like oh the Asian community got upset But I ain't see one like we not ain't nobody come forth. Oh no You know nobody said it's probably a Asian Twitter probably but I'm telling you I think

You know cuz a lot of times what white people do they get mad for other people like they get mad for other people Don't probably even say that. I I don't know I have no idea Oh my god. All right. Well, let's get to the latest with that knows a little bit about everything. She be having the latest on the latest with Lauren La Rosa. Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details, sometimes you have a little bit of everything. Well, it's the latest on The Breakfast Club. Talk to me.

All right, y'all. So really quick, I want to send a congratulations to Mandy and Weezy from Decision Decisions podcast. Hey, Their book, no-holds-barred, a dual manifesto of sexual exploration has hit the New York Times bestsellers list. Yes it did. Huge congratulations to them for that. Drop a bomb. Drop one of Clue's bombs from Mandy and Weezy. Yes! They debuted at number seven on a tough list too. It was the advice list. To put things in perspective, Mel Robbins' Let Them Theory is number one on the advice list.

Atomic Habits, which has been out forever, was number two that week. And so they were number seven. So salute to Mandy and Weezy. And if you haven't gotten a copy of No Holes Barred, go out there and get it wherever books are sold. That's right. That's a real tough list. Yeah. Huge.

Shout out to them. Yeah, fire. Come on man, the whole hive came through. I love that for them. They have a really strong community for their podcast too. They have a real strong base. That's all it is, the power of podcasting. They didn't do no mainstream television

the week the book came out. Like nothing. They didn't get no mainstream looks. You know, that's just the power of the podcast. That's right. The whore hive. Salute to them. Yeah, shout out to them. Now, in other news, while we were out, I'm telling you guys what you missed, and you

missed Drake's new song called What Did I Miss? No, we ain't miss it. Well, I ain't miss it. I heard it. We're going to start the mix with it this morning. Okay. Full version. We're going to talk about it a bit right here because if you've heard the song there's a few lines

That you know people are having some conversation about because Drake is obviously so upset about not like us in the whole pop-out concert Yep, so those shots that he threw in that verse Lebron James is who people are throwing that way because remember Lebron was at the pop-out show Dancing to the music and there's been so much back and forth not back and forth But Drake has openly said he's hooked up to it. He said the hairline thing, right? Yeah, and the headlines because the runner, no, he said headline. Oh, I thought he said hairline, my bad.

Headline, his song. A lot of his basketball friends were at the pop-out though. Wasn't DeMar DeRoy in the airlines? DeMar DeRoy was there. And you know he got, he got smoked with him too now because of that. There's so many people that he would have had to go at, yo, if it was, if it came to that, you know what I mean? It is just so many people that he would have had go at, yo, if it came to that, you know what I mean?

There's just so many people that he would have to go at. It's a cool record. I mean Drake can rap, Drake can make music, we know that, but I mean y'all don't think it's extremely corny for him to be in a video surrounded by guns. No, absolutely it is. Yeah, for sure. Y'all don't think that's extremely corny? Yeah.

But the song honestly, it just sounds like another good hit Drake. I mean a good Drake hit. It don't really sound like Another Drake, you know Vibe single why is he in the video surrounded by gun? What is the point? Said nobody care till yeah, they they in front of your team stone. So yeah, what's up? I'm not mad at what he's rapping about. He feels like these people was his homies and he's going back at him.

I'm not mad at it. I just don't love the record. It's a cool record. Why is he in the video surrounded by guns? It was a reference to something, but I can look up the reference. Aubrey Gun-Gram? Nah, he raised his hand. Aubrey Gun-Gram?

That's who you are now, you're A.R. Graham. Yes. Gun Graham. AR Graham now. That's who you are now. You're AR Graham. What are we talking about here people? Come on man. I just don't know what will get Drake out of that conversation and I think he puts himself back into it because Nokia was a good song, had nothing to do with the battle. It's still a big record. It's still a huge record in the clubs.

But don't you think right now Drake should be talking about something other than this? Like we've heard, we know how he feels. This record would make a lot of sense if Drake hadn't said nothing for the last year and a half. Yup, yup. If he hadn't said a word, no lawsuits, no nothing. Hadn't said nothing.

He just came out, what did I miss? Yeah, yeah. You know what y'all was on. Like that would make more sense. Yeah. But you in the video surrounded by a bunch of choppers. You're the Canadian chopper slinger now. But you in the video surrounded by a bunch of choppers. You're the Canadian chopper slinger now.

Oh my goodness. See, I'm not mad at him talking about how he feels, right? Because that's what you're supposed to rap about, how you feel and what things make you feel and what he missed. I'm not mad at that. I'm just not, it's cool. You the Toronto trigger squeezer now. This guy's crazy.

What's going on, it's cool. You the Toronto trigger squeezer now. This guy's crazy. Huh? What's going on? Oh my God. I know that man talk about you at therapy. You are so triggering. Why are y'all there? But why, man?

That's just tone deaf. You had a video surrounded by guns. You lost a rap battle. It is what it is. You got your ass handed to you for the past, you had some change. Now you back with the choppers. Yeah. And that's okay?

Y'all just yeah that's okay that's cool I think it just came away I don't know people even cared as much as he thought they would ditch what is it the Braids get that man a hug that's really what he want Ron you can stop all of this. No, he said don't talk to me They can't be friends no more Great if he just would have just like he probably is cooking that up to like making getting back to making music for us for women That's the best project I'm with you when we make music for us.
