This day Christmas. This day Christmas. This day 4th of July. This day 4th of July of July. My goodness. All right. Well, good morning, Morgan. Good morning, y'all. Happy Friday.

Let's get into it. So the phrase of the day is due process. So President Trump is questioning whether the undocumented immigrants deserve due process while delivering a commencement speech at the University of Alabama yesterday. Trump criticized judges who have blocked his administration's efforts to deport alleged illegal immigrants. Let's take who have blocked his administration's efforts to deport alleged illegal immigrants. Let's take a listen to his comments.

They have to let us do the job that the voters want us to do. Judges are interfering, supposedly based on due process, but how can you give due process to people who came into our country illegally? They want to give them due process. I don't know. So Trump went on. That's a question, you know, Governor Westmore is coming here and that is a question that I asked him. I asked him the same thing. Do undocumented immigrants have the same constitutional

rights as people who are here illegally? So I was going to say, well, what did he say? In a couple hours. In a couple hours. Trump went on to congratulate the university's women's track team and track and field for So I was gonna say, well, what did he say? Trump, Trump- In a couple hours. In a couple hours. Trump went on to congratulate the university's women's track team and track and field for their two conference title wins this year. He also used the opportunity to highlight his administration's efforts to ban transgender

women from women's sports and tout what he believes is a better economy under his administration. He also shouted out the school's legendary former football coach Nick Saban saying the University of Alabama has a brand and that brand is winning. In other news, national security advisor Mike Walz is leaving his position as national security advisor. That's according to multiple reports and this comes after Walz faced scrutiny for mistakenly adding Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg to a signal chat that discussed plans for a military strike. Now Vice President JD Vance spoke to Fox News about the matter saying that Waltz is not being fired from his role as a national security advisor but instead he's being promoted. I won't toss the

audio because I see we're short on time but he basically says that Vance says that Trump decided that Waltz is better served in another role which which is the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. So Waltz, of course, faced scrutiny, like I said, for adding mistakenly adding that reporter to the Signal Chat that discussed plans for a military strike. And Trump said in the interim, Secretary of State Marco Rubio will serve as national security advisor while continuing to be a strong leadership, being a strong leader in the State Department as Secretary of State. Now Republican Congresswoman Elise Stefanik of New York was the UN nominee until the White House withdrew it, citing a slim House GOP majority. They want to maintain

their stake in the House and in the Senate and or their seats per se. And so they kept her in that seat and withdrew her nomination. When is Trump going to make that same decision about Pete Hegseth? The same decision he just made about Mike Walsh? You know since you're not firing people but you know you're promoting them around other positions. Yes. Yeah well he has expressed, the president has expressed that he has the utmost confidence

in Pete Hegseth and his ability to lead the Department of Defense. So I'm not sure when that'll happen, but I'll keep you posted. All right. Well, thank you, Morgan. Everybody else, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, phone lines are wide open again.

We need a new Black Friday holiday with the blackout

Now we got the latest with Lauren coming up. We do. So as time winds down for Diddy to go to trial, he just rejected a plea deal. He confirmed it in court yesterday.

He is looking at almost up to life in prison if he doesn't. So this is another plea deal lay off for him? Because we did the first one last week. It's the same one. It's the same one. But remember, those were documents and we didn't really know exactly what was happening because it was just these documents. But he was in court

Yesterday and he confirmed the judge asked him. Did you reject that plea? Do he say yes, I did I want to know what the plea deal was. That's what you need to be asking your sources I am I'm asking I need to know what the plea was that he turned down right? All right. Well the latest with Lawrence up next don't go anywhere is the Breakfast Club. Good morning the Breakfast Club The Breakfast Club. All right, y'all. So Thursday, yesterday, the 1st of May, Diddy was in court and he walked into court. He was there with his attorney, his attorneys, Attorney Garagros and Brian Steele, who was a Young Thugs attorney in his trial and he rejected or he confirmed that he rejected the plea deal that we've been talking about in here. So he's in court and a judge asked him, did you reject the plea deal?

Did he says, yes, I did. The judge is like, are you aware of the fact that you could potentially serve more time in prison because of the plea deal rejection if you are convicted? And did he told the judge that he did understand the stakes of what was on the line. Now a lot of- And Brian Steele is new to the case, right? Yes, Brian Steele is new to the case.

We reported when he came on and when it was actually like real, like, okay, he's working the case now. Now I spoke to a source close to the case, trying to figure out more of what the plea deal was because most people, nobody knows what it is as of now. So I got a bit more details. What I was told is that the plea deal included Diddy having to plead guilty to a lot of things that

he absolutely did not do. Now there's, he's saying he didn't do any of this, right? He's been saying, I'm not guilty of any of this whatsoever, but there are certain things and certain allegations that are so absurd that Diddy's team feels like they don't even have evidence to even bring this into conversation. So he's not even going to plead guilty and give them any leeway to throw things on him or to build a case with those things. Now I want to point to the fact that, you know, when Jay-Z came out, the woman from 2000s, the VMA Awards, that said that Diddy and Jay-Z allegedly raped her, that was dismissed once Jay-Z fought it and that was one of the claims. I want to also point out the Little Rod $30 million lawsuit. They decided not to move forward with that as well too

because of the claims. But those are all civil, that's not another criminal stuff. Yes, but I pointed to those because those claims, even civilly, just show how outrageous, according to my source, and according to what I believe Diddy's legal team is looking at, the claims can get when it comes to Puff in this situation because people have begun to pile on.

So what I'm being told is the same thing has happened on the criminal side. And on top of it happening on the criminal side, there is no evidence allegedly to back up the piling on of these different things. So Puff is saying he wants to go to court, he wants to fight it. Listen, I don't know what's true and what's not true,

but Diddy also told us the Cassie stuff wasn't true. Yes, 100%. Okay, but didn't know, they did he also told us the Cassie stuff wasn't true Yes Didn't that turned out to be you know a complete lie So I have no idea you know because it's like to your point the diddy situation has been so Muddy because of a lot of these civil cases and a lot of these things that are flooding the internet That's not what he's on trial for exactly. He has to fight. Yeah, I can't see him not even taken in a plea He has to fight it. Yeah, I can't see him not even taken into plea. He has to fight it well, I will say to Even with the plea the plea isn't because they feel like the the prosecutors don't feel like they don't have a strong case

You do that just you know by operation because if you don't do it Did he could come back after he's convicted if he's convicted and say yo They didn't have my best interests in mind So I need to appeal this because if they had my best interest they wouldn't want me to just sit in jail They would have gave me they would help me catch a break through a plea deal. Maybe. Because I think they would really, if they have everything that they say they have, they would really try to lock Didier up for a long time and embarrass the issue out of them.

They are. They're trying to. But I don't think they would offer them a plea, in my opinion. So I will say normally and most typically in a court case, especially this high stake, that's what you do. It's literally like a protection. It's like, let me get this out the way and offer it. We know he probably won't take it, but let's just do it so that we can check this box real quick.

And listen, I don't know anything about the law. I am not a lawyer. And I know Brian Steele just came on the case, but the lawyers that he was with this whole time that couldn't even get him a bond, are they still around as well? Or he got rid of them? Some of them are. Some of them are. I wouldn't trust the same lawyers who can't even get me a bond. Are they still around as well? Or he got rid of them? Some of them are. Some of them are. I wouldn't trust the same lawyers who can't even get me a bond to win a trial for me.

But I also don't know how much influence the lawyer has on whether or not their client gets a bond. Yeah, I mean, I get what you're saying. I think though, because he has so many different counsel and then he has Brian Steele that just came on as new. The team seems like they'll be a little bit more refreshed because it's different conversations, different leaderships or leadership in the situation now.

And what is the plea deal? That's what I want to know. I want to know what he turned down. I don't know exactly what he turned down yet. I just know what it was leaning toward. And from what I'm told, that was, you know, Puff's legal team, like that was the biggest thing for him is like, there's so much in here that is not true, and they can't prove it because there's no evidence because it never happened. We are not going with that. Yeah, forget all that, but what was the time?

So that because I read somewhere and I don't know if this is true. Somebody said five years. I didn't see pleaded for five years, but I don't know. I don't know if that's true. I just saw that somewhere. All the outlets I've seen, they don't know what it was because of like everything's it's supposed to not be getting out into the media or whatever but the case starts the actually goes to court and it begins on May 12th they also addressed a jury selection in court that day and people

you know that were there are commenting on how he looked they said he looked happy it's been released that he's able to actually wear like clothes clothes when child starts he doesn't have to come suiting the boot in his jail stuff, but it's only like five different outfits, like certain shirts, certain ties, five button down shirts, five pairs of pants, five sweaters, five pairs of socks, two pairs of shoes without laces

is what he's allowed to wear to court. So no less he gotta wear loafers. Yeah, shoes without laces. Yep, that's, yeah. Yo, keep up there, it's your boy, Bumhan, and I'm bringing you something epic.

We got front page news and then also donkey of the day if you want to give somebody donkey Charlemagne is opening up the phone Lines for you so you can give donkey to whoever you want 800 585 105 1 call us up right now front page news is next is the breakfast club good morning. Good morning everybody is DJ Envy Jess hilarious Charlemagne the guy we are the breakfast club. Let's get some front page news What up, Joe? What up Detroit? Yes, the Knicks beat Detroit last night 116 113 Detroit is home early on vacation now the Clippers beat the Dung is 111 105 they tied a series 3-3 All right. So again, congratulations to Jalen Brunton in the New York Knicks cat. What's up? Heart what's up the whole New York Knicks fan? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah played a hell of a game last night man

The way y'all came back Jesus, so I was happy you see the game last night No, I did not but when you see the game last night? No, I did not, but when I go to Detroit, they're going to tell me some stuff to come back and tell you because you going crazy on Detroit. They were tearing me up all week, and I just had to be quiet because you never know what the Knicks sometimes.

So I was waiting for the Knicks to win. And last night when we blew the 12 point lead, I said, ooh, Detroit's going to be in my ass. So the D was tearing you up. The D was in your ass. Huh? Detroit was tearing me up. Yeah, the D was tearing you up. The D was in your ass. The D was tearing me up. The D was tearing

you up. The D was in your ass. You heard him? He said this weekend it was going down. Grow up. What's up Morgan? Oh my gosh. Hey y'all. Hey, so let's continue talking due process as it is the theme for front page news today. So the White House will not confirm reports. It has asked El Salvador about the status of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has reportedly been in touch with El Salvador about Garcia but during a recent cabinet meeting Rubio told reporters he will not comment on it. Let's take a listen to his comments. Well I would never tell you that and you know who else I'll never tell? A judge.

Because the conduct of our foreign policy belongs to the President of the United States and the executive branch, not some judge. So we will conduct foreign policy appropriately if we need to, but I'll never discuss it. And no one will ever make us discuss it if that's how foreign policy works. So that's of course, in case you missed it or you've been under a rock, Garcia was supported to El Salvador mistakenly and what the White House said was an administrative error, but has since said that he's a member of the MS-13 gang. I'm not sure if you guys saw that photo

that Trump was holding with his tattoos that seemingly was Photoshopped to say MS-13 across his knuckles. Now, next week, the administration is facing a court order deadline to provide an update on steps that they've taken to return Garcia here, back to the United States. They need to stop focusing on him as an individual and what they need to start

focusing on is the fact that the Constitution is not being respected. They need to be focusing on the fact that everybody is allowed due process. Stop making it about the individual. Make it about the actual issue because that issue can happen to anybody. Right and I think that's why they were trying to, you know, nail down what's happening with the individual so that we can make it a blanket or that, you know, it can become a- Yeah, but when you make it about the individual-

A collusion. But when you make it about the individual, then people can say, well, he's MS-13, or he was here illegally, and then it makes people dismiss the whole situation. The actual problem is the fact that this man is not being allowed due process under the Constitution. That's right.

This comes as a federal judge is blocking the deportations of Venezuelans in South Texas under the Alien Enemies Act. Now Judge Fernando Rodriguez, who was appointed during Trump's first administration, writes that members of the violent Venezuelan street gang, Trende Agua, are not invading the country. And the administration's recent swift deportations,

he ruled, violate due process rights. now the ruling came as part of a lawsuit brought by three Venezuelan men Who claim they're not members of the gang? Do we got time for one more y'all? I think this is a big one for a lot of people it's gonna impact a lot of people sure Education alright, let's get into it. So the Department of Education will resume collecting defaulted student loan debt this coming Monday. That is Cinco de Mayo. That is May 5th. The department announced collections will begin on May 5th and borrowers could be referred to debt collectors or have money deducted from their paychecks. Student loan repayment requirements were paused in March of 2020 due to COVID-19 and that pandemic. Now the Biden administration

opted not to resume those collections and attempted to forgive student loan debt in a program that was ultimately struck down by the Supreme Court. But the Trump administration has indicated it would offer no such concessions to borrowers. And the reason why I say this is because you never know if something like this, Department of Education and student loans or whether or not you owe

on student loans could be impacted in the way where you might need your due process. So if I could give Donkey of the Day, as you're allowing people to do so, Charlamagne to God, I would do that to student loans. I would give the student loans the Donkey of the Day. Hee-haw. That's right, you know. Well, Charlamagne is opening up the phone lines too.

So if you want to give somebody Donkey of the Day, 800-585-1051. What do you say, Charlamagne? Yeah, call us right now. That's a damn shame though, man today, 800-585-1051. What you say, Sharla? Yeah, call us right now. That's a damn shame though, man. The economy is already in shambles. Tariffs got consumer goods, you know, prices high. They talking about a recession this summer and you know, the student, they, they, they collecting on student loan debts on Monday. They really trying to break people, yo. Like they really driving people to the brink, man. Well, the best I think we could do right now is cheers to the freaking weekend.

Y'all have a good one. Happy weekend. How much crack costs nowadays? What? Why you asking Jess? Why you look right at me? Do I look like I be on crack or do I look like I sell it? No, no, no, I'm just saying, I don't know. I don't even know anybody sell crack no more.

But I just wanna not- Let me call somebody in Baltimore that I know. Yeah, right. Remember crack used to be like 20, $20 right before rock. I don't remember. I don't remember. Why would you ever buy in it? And consume in it?

I sold it. Remember when? A little petty drug dealer. But I just wonder how much crack costs nowadays. I really do. Bro, you ever buy it and consume it? I sold it. Remember when? A little petty drug dealer, but I just wonder how much crack costs nowadays. I really do. Bro, you ever try Seller Truth? No. I did Coke once because somebody had put it in a blunt with some weed. I did it by accident.

I wouldn't do it by accident now. I wouldn't do it by accident now. I wouldn't do it by accident now. By accident. By accident. You know what? Maybe 10, 15 years ago, if somebody would have slipped it to me by accident, I might have enjoyed it again. I might have partaked.

Oh wow. It's giving you need a vice to cope with what's going on. No, it's giving that, that was the best high I ever had in my life. I still remember it since day one. Accidentally. I'm not, I'm just telling you, I'm not, don't, do not do it kids. Okay, but I'm just telling you that when it accidentally happened to me, it was amazing. All right, no crack.

Let's move on from crack. Reliving Single, a new podcast from Kim Coals and Erica Alexander. They'll be joining us next. Don't go anywhere. It's The Breakfast Club, good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning everybody, it's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious,

Charlamagne the Guy, we are The Breakfast Club. Lauren LaRosa's here as well. We got a special guest in the building. Man, some legends are in the building. Erica Alexander and Kim Cole. They have launched the Reliving Single Podcast. New episodes come out every Wednesday, starting on May 7th on YouTube. Absolutely.

What inspired the creation of the reliving single podcast? Well, you know, looking at my Gucci, it's about that time. Why not? It's been 30 years actually, 30 years, two years ago actually, it's 32 years that we had the anniversary of our show. The problem was it was during the strike and no one was allowed to say anything about anything that was on a studio and or network type of thing.

So then nothing happened. And for a very long time I was asked about reboot and I always said no. I always said no. Yeah. I said no. I said why consistently because I didn't want to go. I'm very identified with that character Maxine Shaw attorney at law and I love her. But perhaps I always say this very honestly if I had a big film career or something that would offset it, that would be nice. So it wasn't just a matter of me saying no, I would be stepping into something that I didn't think I could shake as easily as, you know, other people.

And so this opportunity came and was approached by Eric Eddings at Heart heartbeat and he said do you want to do it? I said no, not really I don't want to do it, but he kept asking and I thought well me so 30th anniversary people really love it They're doing things all the time Why not and it's an opportunity because of you Charlemagne learned very well with color farm and you've given us our opportunities with finding Tamika And also with the big payback that you can go deep in podcasts where you can't do that even in documentary and with episode after episode we'd be able to talk and then they approached Kim.

And I said yes, I'm waiting. I've been doing this all along. And I actually think that you know this is shallow I know I think we all still look good let's do the reboot while we're at it. But listen everybody's busy and everybody has their own other thing that they're doing and so this was an easy way to give the fans and the friends of the show a taste of what they want. For sure everyone will come on the show and I can't I don't know if I can give away that someone has already come and taped

an episode. Smooches! That's a hint. And so it's a chance to go deep like you said we're gonna talk about the behind the scenes and the things and and actually we've known each other for that long, revelations have come out. Like things have come out, like I didn't know that about you Erica, I didn't know that about you. That was going on behind the scenes. And so the audience will be let in on something very powerful

that could not even happen on a reboot. So you're welcome. So many white shows do it. Scrubs has it with, I can't remember the brothers, Donald and- Yep, and This Is Us. Yes, This Is Us, Boy Meets World. Yeah, The Office. The first black rewatch show, is it? The Chaperonis, yeah. has it with uh I can't remember the brothers Donald and um and this is us yes this is us boy meets world yeah the office the first black rewatch show the chaperonals yeah yeah yeah we

are probably hosted by the actual cast members that I can think of I could be wrong but I can think of I feel so so it feels like the right time and we're having a good time doing it have you guys ever thought about if you did do a reboot where the characters lives would be now like what would the storylines be? I have and I don't know if I'm right you know like there was talk on the on Living Single that Sinclair and Overton would have twins and their names would be Sincloverton and Overclair. Oh that's so on brand.

So I go with that. We have twins, they're grown up, they're a boy and a girl, they're fabulous, they're you know loving so I all the things, all the things. Maxine Shaw would be governor. Yes, and they're probably ruling like she has always been. Obviously she has to be tied up with TC's Kyle Barker, and they had a child on Half and Half.

I don't know if that child still exists. I don't know. I mean, that's a good question. She might be in a bar somewhere, I mean,'s already in a Mexican jail somewhere doing to her damage, you know, maybe she was burnt out by life Right knows I mean you go that fast pace. You don't always win and a lot of lawyers burn out So I would like to be so good. I mean even even even Khadija what she would have to make changes because there's no such thing as the printer But here that's the other thing too.

I remember, you know, the fans always say, where's the reboot reboot? And one time I saw somebody say, no, I don't want to see where they've gone. Cause in my mind, they live in a perfect space and a perfect place. And so anything that we do, there'll be somebody who disagrees with it.

Well, why is she in a jail? Why is she, you know, whatever it is, like there'll be no, it lives in a perfect space where it is right now, so maybe let it be for now. Definitely the jail storyline. We wouldn't want that. You know what I'm saying?

No, it's just a temporary situation. You know what I'm saying? Meaning she was having too much fun. I mean, but then why? You know, you're saying something very real and in fact, makes fiction. That's where we are coming in talking about something that's very fact.

You know, Maxine Shaw is a fictional character. Eric Alexander is a fact. Eric Alexander in 30 Years of Living has changed, you know, and we had good days, bad days. We have, you know, ups and downs. And so I'm hoping those characters would have the same things that we had. What moments on Set of Living Single helped shaped who you all are off camera. Not just as actresses, but as women that had to navigate fame and friendship and career pressure. What moments helped shape who you are off camera? I think we got along really well very quickly. I felt the energy from the first table read. And so there was an energy and a respect and a friendship and a sisterhood and a brotherhood that developed so quickly that

that permeated everything else that we did like we would go and hang out together. Erica and TC have the same exact birthday, the same day. John Hinton's birthday is two weeks later so we would go out and like what do y'all want to do for your birthday salsa dancing let's go. So we became family really quickly and so I think that that helped infuse the energy on the set and in our characters we really were friends and we really are still friends. But then we're also you know movers and shakers if you're 23 years old and I'm faking like I'm a lawyer. I have a high school degree and I think it made me want to level up. I mean in my reading and how I you know approach life I mean she was a killer. She was a real winner. So I'd like to say that that shaped me a lot. I think

it was already there but I really liked how she was she had integrity. I don't know that's a really good question. It really is. But I think that a lot of things have happened after the show have been very consistent with what our characters might have done. Well, I want you to think about that question and unpack it on the reliving single. Done! Okay, we're going to think about it in our own time.

That will be a Charlemagne question. Charlemagne has submitted this question. I'm going to send a fan question. We have a segment where people call one, the fans and the friends of the show can send in their questions and so we call it True Blue. Get it? Tight Night Blue, yeah. So we will make sure we submit that one. So you heard it here first and then we'll unpack it further. Thank you. He's giving us homework. I know.

Heavy lifting. Erica or Ms. Alexander, what do you want me to call you? Erica. Okay. Erica. The great though. Erica Alexander the Great. Got you. Erica Alexander the Great period. I was reading this article on MSN and MSNBC's website and the writer was talking about how your she discovered she was late she discovered Living Single for the first time a year ago and like deep dived and like went and read conversations around it and she was trying

to figure out why you didn't win an Emmy for your performance. Oh, that's good. And I and when I read it, I'm like, all late to the party but welcome But I thought about it and I was like, I mean like what's that feeling like for you? Because yeah, like it what you said you were how old for training character? 23 23 per change we would have never known you sold it you did it like the storylines that y'all dive into You know, I mean like did you ever feel like there were things that should have happened for you in that role? For many people. I'm unfortunately in a club that no one wants to belong to. And especially if you think that and you know I'll take the compliment say thank you very

much but I was right alongside people like Cecily Tyson and all these other people would never want anything for the work that they had done. And Cecily Tyson has since gotten an Oscar and she got it before she passed and those types of things. But no, I think blackness, racism, all the disparities and equities were there and especially in the, what is early 90s. And I say the blacker the berry,

the sweeter the juice, the tighter the noose. They didn't let you go so far. That's real. And so I'm very gratified, but there's nothing you can do about it. There's people like Abbott Elementary and all the other people and they've come and doing very well. But you know, being a dark skin actress and also being funny and maybe not being the ideal of what they thought funny girls looked like, they didn't know what to do with me and I

got offered nothing after I finished that show. Absolutely nothing. No. Wow, that's a shame. All right, when we come back, we have more with Erica Alexander and Kim Coles. When we come back, it's The Breakfast Club of the Morning. Morning everybody, it's DJ N.V. Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Erica Alexander and Kim Coles. Charlamagne? How did working on Living Single change, change your view of black sisterhood? And did it shift the way you approached friendships in your real life?

Not for me, because I have incredible female relationships, incredible, in fact, my high school, we just celebrated our 45th anniversary last week. I couldn't come because I was headed here for y'all. And so I've already had a group. You have to excuse you game. I'll come here next week. I can't come here now. I can't find two times.

You got me here now. I'll see you all at the 50th. I plan to tighten it up so I'm real cute by then. But the point is I always had really good friendships and actually it felt normal to me to be around women that I respected. They were all different, but I respected and loved and so I had that and I had that strength. So it just felt like that felt like home. I don't know if that's the right answer.

What was the question? Did I answer it? I'm just that now. I'm sorry. You're talking about the family, sorry, the women's friendships. You know I went to an all girls high school. Philadelphia High School for Girls got to give a shout out. And I wasn't good with girlfriends. They said, I always loved boys. I always loved

men. I'm a guy's girl. I always have. I grew up in Arizona. I'm a tomboy. I always thought men by the way. No, no, no, no, it's not that. It's just that it wasn't that. I'm used to having good girlfriends. I understand. But for all that I went to an all girls high school, I didn't necessarily think that I practiced much because That was my preference. It kind of still is I just think that there was a lot of freedom I thought that men had they took me took me for I don't say one of the guys But once you show you could stand up with them I got a lot of truth about who I was next to them and I thought sometime I was pulling my punches with women

Like oh don't say that you're gonna make her feel like I'd have time for that. Yes I completely resonate with you that's how I grew up the same way I had maybe what three homegirls but I had like ten eleven four I always went where the guys went I'm hanging on the court that's how I became so quick on my feet with being a completely in the village. Having jokes, throwing them back at me. Guys didn't get offended when I'm joking with them. Girls, they had a little bit more. And I'm saying they, like I'm not one.

No, no. No, I'm not. We met a ton, girl. It was like, you know, you're kind of, you know, you're like one of the boys. And you feel very protected in that space, too. I feel very protected. And respected. They do respect you.

And look at you like, oh yeah, that's our girl. So I've been like that as well. Very protective. And respected. They do respect you. And look at you like, oh yeah, that's our girl. That's our girl. You know? So I've been like that as well. What I wanted to ask was, do either of you think that Friends, the show Friends, truly owes some of its success to the groundwork laid by Living Single? 100,000%. 100,000%.

Moving on. Next question. No, no. Here's the thing. And I always, this is a little fact that most people don't know, is that the president of the network, of their network Your NBC at the time had been asked if there was any show that you wish you could have purchased for this You know upcoming season season. He said I wish I bought Living Single and then a year later

There was friends and so it absolutely tracks and yeah great show and wish them all well But it absolutely we influenced them and it was also tough because you know We were both Warner Brothers production. We were on this little ranch lot, you know off to the side and they were on the big lot We have a cafeteria and you have little trice, you know bicycles Yeah, get from here to here then then and and the salary Disparity was was huge. Oh very different What acts the access they had to marketing, the access they had to all the money and all the things was very different than what we had.

Yeah, we had a craft service table run by this old, beautiful old white dude named Pops, and he's putting things out like rich crackers and pickled eggs. Like a bowl of eggs. We're like, dude, we're going to fart all day. We're trying to work. It did get better. We had to ask for that though. They asked for air conditioning, all these other things. I just come from the Cosby show, the biggest show in the world. I wasn't expecting it to have that kind of, you know, leverage. But you did know when you thought you were being treated less than and they didn't have to because like a lot

of productions, if you put very little into black people, we give you more. Black show biz gives you more. And when they see that, the investment's not necessarily there. And that's what you really miss out on. The Living Single, even, did it get pitched to NBC? Because it would make so much sense. Because like you said, you were on the Cosby Show, the success of the Cosby Show in a different world.

NBC should have stood for Nothing But Colors after that success. Nothing But Colors. Nothing But Colors. Nothing But The Black Show. Nothing But Colors. And that's not what didn't happen. He should have stood for nothing but colors after that what? That's not what didn't happen actually the good thing about it if you if you watch if you listen to his show and watch it Kim has the origin story Kim is the origin story Okay, the show was created around Queen Latifah and me A lot of people don't know that they called me into a meeting at Warner Brothers and we want to do a show and a lot Of people don't know this either the the idea for the show, the impetus was, you know, remember the movie Jungle Fever?

Yeah, I remember. There's a scene that they call the War Council and it's a group of women sitting around talking about men and relationships and you know, what they're dealing with. And they said to me, and I'm assuming they said to Latifah too in a separate meeting, we want to do a show that's about this. And I said, if the show is about bashing men, I'm not interested. And not that that scene in Jungle Fever was only about bashing men, but they were handling a particular topic and they were like, oh, okay, because I love men. And so if we can talk about the relationships and, you know, the growth and the, you know, being driven and what do you want? I was like, I'm in and they were having

the same meetings with Latifah, the two of us were put together and then we together agreed that Yvette Lee Bowser should be the one to create the show. So to be there at the beginning and to be involved in creating Sinclair and involved in knowing what the relationships were going to be to start with and then to hear it and watch it unfold was exciting. and you know privilege We got to give her props because both she and Latifa asked for a black showrunner There are very few black any friends in Hollywood or writers let alone a showrunner You vet Lee Bowser happened to be on different world doing her thing. She was on hanging with mr. Cooper She had the background but they weren't necessarily gonna just give that to her. So you guys asking somebody female that was a yeah Yo keep up is it's your boy bomb Han and I'm bringing you something epic

On November 5th, 2018 at 6.33 a.m., a red Volkswagen Golf was found abandoned in a ditch

out in Sleep Hole Valley. The driver's seat door was open. No traces of footsteps leaving the vehicle. No belongings were found, except for a cassette tape lodged in the player. On that tape were ten vile, grotesque Horrific stories that to this day have been kept restricted from the public until now You feeling this too a horror anthology podcast Listen on the I heart radio app podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

That was like a, yeah, they just, they just gave into that. Cause during that time, I feel like I would miss a pushback. And if you, you know, you get two people that you've created a deal around and we both go, yeah, she's the one that go, okay, well let's give her a shot. And also that we both were at the same agency. So our agency helped and, and, and also we both were at the same agency so our agency helped and and and Yvette was also at the same agency. It's called a Hollywood package. Got you. And so was Kim Fields in that agency and so was John Hinton. The only two people not in that agency were me and TC. So did you guys talk because a lot of times now on TV people are like we should have

conversations behind the scenes rally together and then go to the forefront and ask for what we want to draw. Did you and Queenland T for your agents get to do that? We did. We did. So that list and us, we each met with her separately and we both together said, oh, she's the one let's go with her. And then, you know, the agents do their, do their movements, you know, that, that we do know about and that we don't know about. But yeah, there were like, for example, the name of the show was not originally Living Single. It was My Girls. And I tell a story on the podcast of we were like, they wanted to change the name to Living Single. And we thought it was horrible. Who says that? Nobody talks that way. I'm yeah, what's up? I'm Living Single. It's like the words didn't match.

So I have a memory and I don't know, Dana have to correct me, if we got into a little golf cart and went from the plantation lot where we were, and we took it over to the big lot, and got invited into the office of the president of the network, like, you know, president of the production company. Like you're going to Oz. Right, like, oh.

They got bottled water here. Right. Yeah. This is sex. They got bottled water here. By the way, we know that name is horrible. That's a terrible name. Now it's the best. What else would the show be called? He basically patted your, if you want to hear it, all right now. All right. We got back in the golf cart and we're back on the other side of the hill. You know, we have more with Erica Alexander and Kim Coles when we come back so don't move

it's the Breakfast Club good morning. Morning everybody it's DJ N.V. Jess Hilarious Charlamagne the guy we are the Breakfast Club we're still kicking it with Erika Alexander and Kim Coles Charlamagne. I can't wait to hear the episode with TC Carson because he's spoken about you know being fired from living single after for their treatment compared to friends. So how did the cast as a whole feel when he got fired? It was grief. It was a lot of grief. Did anybody fight for him? I fought for him. We all fought for him but it was done before. Here's what the timing of it is.

He was let go just before the you know they call the announcements for the shows the up front. We all come to New York, there's a big announcement, we're on stage with Fox and all the other Fox shows. I didn't find out until in the hotel room, you know, the day before, oh, by the way, TC won't be there, he's been let go. So it's like, so we're talking to Yvette, we're talking to people and going, what's going on? And it was my understanding is that it was already done. So you fight for him, but I don't know what else I could have done if the decision had already been made. I wanted not to come to work. I thought once we got on set that we would talk about it

and maybe just say we were not going to work. That's like hardcore, but it didn't go down that way. And in fact, two years before I tried to leave myself and got threatened to be sued. So I already, already stepped up and I knew where I could go. I was like, here we go, Lord. I'm doing an interview now. I wasn't, oh Lord, see I don't want to start crying. I wasn't happy and the thing was I didn't think that I was being used well.

And it's a longer story than that. And I don't want to, it needs more context for Yvette Lee Bowser sake because Yvette Lee Bowser had a lot to do with six different characters and there were lots of things going on. But also I want to say something that emotionally a month before I got that show, originally the pilot, my father had passed. I had a lot of things that I was dealing with mentally. Yeah. And we didn't know that Erica, this is one of the revelations I'm talking about. I never talked about that mess. But um, The whole time you were there, you never talked about your father passing away? No, because I don't complain. I don't talk. I do my work.

Like keeping moving. We knew that her father had passed away at some point because you would talk, but I don't think I knew that that had happened a month before. And to know that this is one of the revelations that happened on this podcast. It's like therapy, you're welcome. I didn't know that. Yeah. And no, but there was a lot of things going on that, you know, you want to, you think you want to talk about differently, maybe with your character and maybe the reception wasn't where I thought it was. But I just said, I got to go because I'm like, I've been

in theater and been doing other things. I said, I can go back to New York. I don't need this. And, um, it didn't work out the way I got, I got threatened to be sued and all that. Which is, which is another reason you probably didn't tell everybody what you was actually dealing with because they'll do stuff like that. I will sue you. We'll fight. Exactly. And I was going, I didn't have the most powerful agent.

I didn't have that. I'd always gone on sets alone. You know, so I was there alone in that just trying to think it through. And I thought at the very least, I could just go back to what I was doing. Now back to TC. Because that's what I think that he didn't have that we were didn't have the armor. And we also were darker. And I have to say there's something to that feeling like you're, you're unprotected. Yeah. And when you get back and there is no plan and you don't necessarily you know friends had gotten together and they all got together to talk about

their salary. They stopped going in and they got their salaries corrected tremendously. It wasn't that feeling although we were all rebels and very supportive in our own way. I don't think we knew what to do and it hurts my heart because TC deserved more support and there was nothing I could do and I even said look fire me I'm the one who would like to to go and it wasn't it wasn't something that could happen it was wrong to do it was wrong to do that to you. Was he mad at y'all because he spoke up for the treatment and you know the unfair treatment that y'all were receiving and you would think that would be a collective thing like you know oh none y'all was receiving and you would think that would be a collective thing. Like, you know, oh, none of y'all gonna got my back?

So if this is happening behind the scenes and if you don't know, okay, we know that we were getting, not getting the right treatment. It's not like we were brought into the meeting, by the way, we're gonna let TC go. It's not like I didn't know that, Latifa didn't know that, we didn't know that in advance. I didn't, it was unexpected.

And you wait until we arrive in New York to go, by the way, TC won't be there because of this Dana and I get on the phone and go what the hell's going on we get on the phone with event and event is like That's it. That's it I didn't know there was something else that I could do in order to to bring him back if it's been if you're being told That it's done. That's it deal with it and we don't go to this because we were young Of course, there's something we could have done if we all band together and said we're not going in. We could have made something happen. We could have called the NAACP. We could have done these things, but these are things that we didn't think about.

You know, you didn't know how much leverage you'd have after that. I'm telling you that I know I fought. I know I sat down with Yvette. I know I had these conversations and I don't think he knew that. And it took years and we had a conversation where he said, I didn't y'all stick up for me I said that's not true. That's not true. That's not true at all And I hate that you went all these years thinking that didn't happen Yeah, but um, it's also his story to tell yeah

And there's some parts and pieces that he thinks go in a certain way and there's certainly I feel very much my Outspokenness might have put him in a position to he thinks his outspokenness, but I was my outspokenness might have put him in a position to he thinks his outspokenness but I was very outspoken I was right letters to the network and doing cruise and walking out you know and I don't think that that was necessarily always taken well by people who want to control you and they broke apart two people me and him. There's another story to tell you know there's our story there's his story and then there's the story on their side. Maybe this is a conversation that I don't know if Yvette has ever talked about it publicly.

I don't know if Warner Brothers ever would or if they ever cared to. So I feel like we're bearing the burden of why didn't we do something different and not getting a chance to get another view from what was happening. Yeah, because they were saying it was a money issue. It's not a money issue. That's what we were told. It's a budget. It wasn't being paid enough for it to be a money issue.

It wasn't a budgetary issue. Wasn't because we brought on a new cast member and we brought on Idalis. So that's not true. I don't know what's true. All I know is that he was gone, he was right, and let's go on record to say he's a magnificent actor. Always on time, always knew his lines.

It did not make sense. And and there you're living in a world that doesn't always make sense and certainly is not fair. If y'all had Instagram would you have gone live and just aired out the whole cast? We had nothing back then. Of course we would have. I would have. I'm telling you. I did that the other week couple days ago. Oh, just what? Oh, no. I just did that on a calisthenic grade. What else? No jesillary. Yes.

And people, and I didn't think that my badge was going to work the next day because I came in and I came in speaking to everybody and nobody speak back and I knew I. That's a lie. Uh-huh. Whatever. No, know you didn't you say give me a hug because you knew you were going to say it. I said y'all been laughing and joking I was so mad like what they laughing about. She shot the elevator on me and it caught me whacking. It was a lot going on. But it's gross. Was this not a conversation you could have had privately with them to fix with me? Did you? Yeah we had

a conversation before and after that. So yeah, I wasn't wrong. It was wrong the way I did it. I'm gonna get out of here. But did the negotiation work for you? Did that tactic work for you? Yes. Here we are family.

We are here and we are family. That's what makes family. It's conflict. We don't go through this life with everything. Collaboration, conflict, and you know confusion. Yeah. Leads to confession. Yup.

We got that. Period. Conversion. They gotta go do Sherri. And compassion? You'll get some compassion in that? You gotta do the way it says. I know, I know.

I don't come on the podcast. You ain't gonna answer this, but I hope y'all gonna get into the beauty center and the weight loss stuff that Queen Latifah talked about that they threw on you guys Oh, make sure you're gonna set in the pocket. Please. I love And they said they won't have me on there. Yeah She said have me to her she won't go back live again Thank you, that would be our thing the legends Erica Alexander and Kim Cole's make sure you check out the reliving single podcast new episodes Every Wednesday starting this Wednesday May 7th on YouTube Kim Koles make sure you check out the Man and salute the Kim Cole's and Eric Alexander for pulling up with they they got a new podcast We live in single.

He met me not make no we not look at the Hawaiian Alright, let's get to the latest with Laura She'd be having the latest on The latest with Lauren La Rosa Details sometimes you have a little bit everything. Oh, it's the latest on the Breakfast Club No, he's the more Are you also? Indiana Paces star Tyrese Halliburton his father was suspended

Indefinitely or for the foreseeable future after getting into the altercation with Yannis Say the last name for me in B. I'm not future after getting into the altercation with Yannis, say the last name for me, Embi. I'm not sure why we're attempting to say his last name. Yannis Antututu. Antututu. His last name looked like something you see on the eye chart. Yo, and it's crazy because I wrote it out

so I could get it. Just say Yannis, they know who you're talking about. Yes, with Yannis. So this was a decision that was made by the Pacers front office, reportedly. So the decision was that he will not be able to attend the team's home games or role games for the foreseeable future. And this came from a Pacers spokesperson. They told ESPN this. Now y'all, I'm sure you guys saw the, all the videos that went viral of Tyrese's dad coming onto the court. Now,

Tyrese's dad actually spoke out and explained what happened and what the verbal back and forth was between him and Giannis. Let's dad coming onto the court. Now, Tyrese's dad actually spoke out and explained what happened and what the verbal back and forth was between him and Yannis. Let's take a listen to that. When I turned, it might have seemed like I was looking at him, but I really wasn't. I was looking through him. That's how I was in the moment. I know it looked like we were looking, like I was staring him down, you know, but it wasn't like that. It was in the moment as if I was looking right through him. And yes, I had the bandler in my hand going, and I was yelling, yay!

Yannis never said anything to me. I never said anything to Yannis. There was no back and forth. He grabbed my hands, he put his forehead on my forehead, and he said, don't disrespect me. Don't effing disrespect me. And I said to him, I was not trying to disrespect you, which I wasn't.

I'm telling you, I did not do that on purpose. I really did not. And then I said to him, I love you. He said back to me, I love you. We patted chest, he gave us a thumbs up and he walked away. I don't think he did it on purpose either, but you know, emotions were high and that's exactly why they say don't make decisions

Off emotions if he made a choice off emotions and that choice has a consequence and now he can't watch his son play What a stable future I was confused by the whole situation and shot the Shaxx you kill O'Neil I spoke to him a day ago, and I was asking him about it He was like he was like well what most people don't understand his family and friends after the game are allowed to go on the court. That's why he was actually on the court because you're allowed to go on the court when your family and also I asked him, was it bad? And he was like, nah, it's part of the game. He was like, he was, you know, at some games and they were yelling, uh, gorilla, and he

was like, it never affected him because it was just part of the game. So he felt like it wasn't that big of a deal. He said family members and friends and yell at you all the time. He didn't think it was that big of a deal. Well, Shaq talked about that on Inside the NBA. We had that clip as well. People were pissed at Shaq's take. Let's take a listen. He probably know who his dad is. Stop it. Y'all understand something. No, because he's on the court in his face.

So what? Everybody on the court. No, you can't do that. He's an idiot. If you think that's right, you're an idiot too. Y'all understand something. No, that dad is an idiot. And if you think you think that's why you're an idiot too. No, no, that dad is an idiot. And if you think he an idiot, you're an idiot too. I will say that no, that is always on the court. No, no, I will say this. His dad is always on the court.

He shouldn't be on the court. John has said something to him. He came up to John. No, he did not. That's not true. He couldn't have said anything. He should. What do you mean walking in line behind his son? He shouldn't be on the court. He didn't play in the game.

Always on the court. No, he shouldn't be. Yeah, people were pissed off at Shaq's take though and for how he, even how he told you that he felt because they felt like if you watch that second angle where he runs, where Tyrese's dad runs out with the tower, whatever that is, and he's, the exchange, people were like, that was taunting him, and you shouldn't have done that, even if it's just an excitement,

and you shouldn't have been able to do that. That's an interesting debate that they're having, because all of them are players. They've been players. Kenny Smith, Charles Barkley, Anshakeel O'Neal. So Shaq saying you can do that, but Charles and Kenny are saying you can't. I don't know what's true,

but I know I'm gonna listen to them before I come to my own conclusion. I think Shaq's thing is he's been through a lot worse on the court, so he was like, that's light work. He goes back and forth with people all day long, so that was his take on it when I come to my own conclusion. I think Shaq thing is he's been through a lot worse on the court so he was like, that's light work. He goes back and forth with people all day long. So that was his take on it when I spoke to him. But that's the conversation right now though.

And I'm not, I don't watch sports, but when I hear people talk about it, they talk about how the game is a lot different than it was like as far they protect the players physically and just what you can say at them from the sidelines and all of that, way different than when Shaq was playing. Players be wilding on people and they should cause people be wilding on the players.

So listen, you went to Shaq House, was Jess there with the white women? You know what's so funny, I went to Shaq House, right, and Shaq was like, Jess tell you about the white women, I'm like, yeah, he goes, Jennifer, Amanda, Becky, come out, and I'm looking, I'm looking, he's like, I'm just joking. I'm like, it was a white woman there. Why would you go to that man house

knowing that he got random white women just walking around? Wasn't your wife with you? Thank you, Lauren. Oh, she was with you? Yes, we did this podcast, sorry. I'm just making sure. It took too long to say that. you, Lauren. Oh, she was with you? Yes, we did this podcast. I'm just making sure. I'm just making sure. It took too long to say that. I was gonna let him go.

I was letting him go. I was letting him go. Y'all was in the basement? Yes. Wasn't there like a little dungeon, like the R. Kelly dungeon that they described on the documentary? God damn, yes.

It was. It was, it was like a bunch of wood and it was like the bears and stuff. And the brick. And you were in that dungeon too. Scared to go to the bathroom? I was not in that dungeon. R. Kelly flew him out. R. Kelly flew him out. He did fly me out, but I Was not in that

Did fly me out but I was not in our Kelly's dungeon He flew you all and how bad was you doing? Why you have to fly you out? No, that's not the question. How bad were you in the 90s? Maybe you must be a little bad bitch to get flown out to Chicago I was hosting a mixtape and he left me in the hotel. He ain't never got me. And you stayed there with your grown ass. You stayed there all day. You know what I'm saying? Waitin' on him all day in the hotel.

You wonder why he would just be running around here humming ignition every now and then for no reason. Yo, stop it. I thought you just liked the song. What in the fuck a tree are you talking about? Whoa, whoa, whoa. Whoa, whoa. Envy, that's crazy for this conversation to be happening

you sitting over there in that pink. This is Salmon. And look, now his face matches. Yeah. You were really grown, I never thought about that. Why didn't you just pay for a fucking leave? I did leave the next day. No, he did not.

But I want to get down here today. To who? To dude named Juan Gonzalez. I was battling with him online, man. I went to go see the movie Sinners, right? Yeah.

Oh, excellent movie, man. I got to go check that out. We've seen it. I'm reading the comments just to get a little bit, you know, how people feel and stuff. And apparently they've seen that the Mexicans is mad. Why? Why just people mad? No, why? Why are they mad?

No, they mad because they not getting represented in the movie. They wasn't in the movie. It wasn't Mexican. I mean, it's 1930s Mississippi. You see Asians were representing black people, white people, Irish people. Exactly and that was my take on it. I'm like yo bro, y'all was still in Mexico.

Y'all didn't want to come down near the Mississippi in 1932. They was still rich in bucks, man. I don't, I don't, okay. Well thank you. So you wanted to give, what's the name, Juan Gonzalez? Juan Gonzalez, man. Give Juan Gonzalez? It all went it? What's the name Juan Gonzalez? By the way one movie can't represent everybody everything in the high you call the bed defending the Mexicans, but just gave one donkey today

Hello, who's this? I'm gonna get a dog here today to my son Because he and like he had to get it out the mud and he been spoon fed his whole life. What's your son name? He ain't never seen mud. What's your son name? Brendan. Brendan? I'm gonna put it out there. She said Brendan never even seen mud. He wanna rap or something? He's never seen it. So he want a little taste of it. I don't know. I don't know why though. I got it too hard. I just got off one job about to go to another take the kids to school like he ain't seen much. He don't even like to play with it in it when he was little. I think because so many people like to celebrate

struggle especially the rappers and they make the struggle look so fly. Yeah and you gotta go through the struggle to get the way you need to be but But that's not the case. It's not. Actually, he didn't even have to worry about a struggle and just have that little go, you know, ease on down the road. But I'm confused. Well, we got to teach our kids about legacy and we got to teach our kids about generation, generational blessings and how it's fly, you know, to come from a legacy of people who, you know, established themselves and passing it on. That's right. I agree.

All right, thank you. Good morning, who's this? Hey, it's Jay. Jay, who you wanna give Donkey the day to, Jay? I wanna give Donkey the day to us, the black community. Okay, I'm all ears. And the reason why, for the last couple days, the last couple of weeks or so,

I've been seeing a lot of people asking about the movie Phenom. You know, the ones who ain't seen it yet. But every time you got somebody that wants to find out about the movie, you got one of us posting a link to the movie on the old social media like, yo, you ain't even gotta go check it out.

This is for watching at home. Man, that makes me so mad when I see a movie like this that we rarely get, and this is half the reason why, because we love making the hell out of our own sh** on our own stuff. I don't know man, I just feel like we don't get a date on how we do our own people sometimes. I agree with that. We have to preserve our art and I mean if you know that somebody's trying to make some money off something why would you take it and leak it to people? That's especially something that's missed good. The way they promote this movie, the way they get this movie, I done seen it twice. I done went on Tuesdays to see this movie.

And it gets better each time you go. So listen, I don't have to watch it at home. You know, it ain't gon' be, you don't get that experience at home. And you don't get to support them the way that you're supposed to at home. Wait a minute, now, did you go to see centers with two different women?

I did. So you blaming the movie centers on the fact that you a player player. So you trying to say you wanted to- No, no, that car didn't have nothing to do with me. I was just letting you know, I've seen it fly. I supported it flying. Tell him, he focusing on the wrong thing.

Hey, I ain't gonna lie, they got some- He focused on the wrong thing, I've seen it fly. Hey, they got some- And I support, that's all you gotta worry about. My money has been spent flying. I ain't gonna front them, they got some fly ass lines and centers. I don't wanna get a movie away, but boy, they got some lines that's all you gotta worry about. My money has been spent flying. I ain't gonna front them. They got some fly-ass lines in centers. I don't wanna get a movie away. But boy, they got some lines that'll make you horny, right? Yeah, yeah.

Hey, look, I'm telling you, after the movie, you can't go wrong with that movie. It's a great night after the movie because she's ready, you ready, so. All I'm saying is you gotta go support it. Why not? Why would you do yourself that disarmament of not going to see such a great movie? I agree with you. Would you go see it for a third time? With another girl? I plan on it.

You got plans? He already planned on it. Yup, yup. Is Lauren still single? You said what? Is Lauren still single? Man, is a pig's b****** pork? Ah!

The dance floor is Lauren. Yeah. If you listen to it, I wanna go see it for a third time. I Want to go see it for a third time and look she already saw it twice too, so you'll be her also With three different guys They can't hear you long across the goddamn room Already, so you go do your third time then I might catch you on the fourth time But you gotta see where you at in life, okay? That's why the movie called sinners right there you bunch of He's just, all of y'all going to hell. Even the ones booing.

Hey look, it's the movie for us. That's what I'm saying. You gotta go support it. I agree with you, I agree with you, I agree with you. Appreciate you brother. Yes man, that was the People's Donkey. We do that, well I'm not gonna say we do that on Fridays. We did it last Friday and I'm doing it again this Friday.

May do it again next Friday. I was gonna say, I was very excited. You're tired, you won't come in and do it next Friday too. Depending on how I feel, may do it again next Friday, okay? But Governor Westmore, Jess's cousin, and the Governor of Maryland will be joining us next. Alright. You can get to that next. Don't go anywhere. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the Guy. We are The Breakfast Club.

Lauren LaRosa's here as well. We got a special guest in the building. A 2028 presidential candidate and the governor of Maryland, Wes Moore is here. How are you, my brother? It's good to be back, man. It's good to be back. Good to have you back, man.

How you feeling, first of all? I'm feeling great. OK. I'm feeling great, man. Listen, contrary to everything else going on in the country, Maryland's doing great. We continue pushing. I mean, and honestly, like,

getting really big wins for our people. And so we're excited. I wanted to talk to you about all of that because I know that you're implementing a lot of great things in Maryland, and I wonder what could be replicated on a national level to protect us from a lot of things that this administration is doing,

hurt working class people especially. Well, here's the thing I mean I think right now we're seeing you know people you keep on talking about what's the power of the president and the power of the presidency I think people would all see right now what's the power of governors? What's the power of states? We have a whole lot more authority and people sometimes give us credit for but frankly a whole lot more power and authority than think a lot of governors understanding can take on. So for example, you know, Maryland has more exposure to these federal cuts, the federal

public service cuts that the Trump administration is just arbitrarily and in many cases, by the way, illegally doing. And so what Maryland has done, we've come up with the most aggressive plan to be able to say how are we going to streamline and support our federal workers, create advanced supports for them, but also making sure that we can streamline them into available state jobs that we need. So for example, there are tens of thousands of vacancies when it comes to credentialed educators inside of the state of Maryland. We have thousands of people in health care, nurses, etc. that we have as vacancies in the state of Maryland. So I'm like, so if I have people who are qualified and who are interested, we're going to streamline them,

get them trained up, credentialed, and get them inside of the classrooms, get them inside of our healthcare facilities, because you're solving two problems, right? You're solving a fact that we have a shortage of people in education, healthcare, and at the same time, creating jobs. You're creating jobs, right?

Somebody violated the FBI, and he wanted to bring the Catholic left to its knees. The FBI went around to all their neighbors and said to them, do you think these people are good Americans?

It's got heists, tragedy, a trial of the century, and the god-damnedest love story you've ever heard.

I look at how Maryland has moved now in just these first months months where Maryland now is going on really the 14th straight month of amongst the lowest unemployment rates in the entire country. Maryland has now has an unemployment rate of 3% which is below well below the national average despite the fact that we've had more federal cuts because the Trump administration than most other states. And so I'm just like as as governors you can be creative about making sure that you can get your economy moving

You can be creative about how you get new businesses on board about how you're supporting your small businesses How you're supporting your minority-owned businesses and you don't have like I don't wait for permission from the federal government to do anything And that's the thing. I think that's the kind of posture that you're watching governors now able to move in this one What are your what are your thoughts on Trump not wanting to bring home Kilmar Garcia? Because he was living in Maryland, I was the guy that was wrong to deport it. And here's the thing for me, this actually has nothing to do with immigration. Because people talk about this as an, you know, I love what he's doing with immigration. I said, well, first of all, if Donald Trump really wanted to fix immigration, he could

do it simply by calling up Speaker Johnson and saying, I need a comprehensive immigration bill on my desk next week. And you know what will be on his desk next week? A comprehensive immigration bill. Because Donald Trump is the votes. He's got the House and he's got the Senate. This has nothing to do with immigration. This just simply has to do with violating the Constitution. That's what this is. And so when I think about the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, my point is this, due process matters in this.

He needs to come home, he needs to stand trial, and then let a judge decide what his long term, you know, situation is gonna be. Not Donald Trump. If they say, well he was doing X, Y, and Z, okay fine, let him come home, let him stand Z, OK, fine. Let him come home. Let him stand trial and let him do what basic due process offers to every single person. And if all of that determined is true, then absolutely.

He should then face consequences and face a sentencing. But not because Donald Trump looked at a Photoshop picture and said, this is going to be his fate, because that is a very, very dangerous slippery slope. picture and said this is going to be his fate because that is a very very dangerous slippery slope. And so my whole thing is this just follow the constitution, follow due process and follow what the supreme court in a nine zero decision said that he needs to come home and stand trial. I just I stand with the law on this and I stand with the constitution. Correct me on some things right because they Mr Garcia has acknowledged that he entered the US illegally correct in 2012 so was he he was here illegally that he was undocumented that's right so if he's undocumented

does the constitution still apply to him yes okay there is there's still constitutional protections okay and especially because what he is being held for or tried for right now are things that he has not not only not been convicted for not even had a formal accusation of so this is the problem is that so Donald Trump right now is trying to rewrite the Constitution Donald Trump right now is violating the Constitution by not allowing him to come home and have due process so yes so the Constitution still offers you know still offers what is the guidance around the federal government's responsibility around states responsibility and that still does fall under

the situation of Kilmar or Briego Garcia. I think that's what's missing in this whole conversation. The fact that, you know, Martin Luther King Jr. said, the injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. So if you see somebody not receiving due process when they're supposed to, that could impact any of us at any given time. None of us wanna just be snatched off the street

and deported to another country just because. And listen, here's the danger. Today it's Kilmar or Brieger Garcia. Who is it tomorrow? Lauren LaRosa. Oh my gosh. No, that's me. I ain't going nowhere.

You know what I'm just saying? It could be. I'm using an example. And you know Trump tried to get him, you can't tell them that you from Delaware because they'll be like, oh please. Yeah, you don't think that's right. And then nobody's gonna even respect that.

Why would y'all put me in it? No, but we're just using this as an example to say it could be anybody. You could have said Charlamagne the guy. No, but it could be anybody. Because you know he's coming for you. Why you come for me? How you say that? No, for real.

You know, for real. You already know me. Did you watch the interview that when Trump sat down with Terry Moran? I didn't watch the whole thing. Okay. But did you see the part I said the tattoo thing because they were going back over about the tattoos or whatever. Look, when you see stuff like that because then media picks it up the other way and uses these tattoos that trump that there's evidence that

Doesn't support what trump is saying but they use it as a well He deserved what he got and how do you guys in the government then fight that because the public opinion sways so much I I didn't see the whole interview I I did see clips of it and I saw that part. And what's really sad to me is it isn't just the fact that we have a president of the United States who was literally buying into conspiracy theories and Photoshop pictures in front of our eyes. What really also bothers me about it is it's the people around him who enable this.

It's the people around him who tell them this is true. The people around them who feed them these pictures and say, yes, Mr. President, you know, he had MS-13 on his knuckles. When he didn't. In many ways, this has nothing actually to do with Kilmar or Briego Garcia. This has nothing even to do with his situation. This just simply has to do with,

are we willing to follow the law? Are we a country of laws? Or are we now a country where a president of the United States gets to pick and choose which laws we follow and which laws we don't? Are we a country that actually follows the constitution? Are we a country that actually follows the Constitution? Are we a country that listens when the Supreme Court in a unanimous decision and let me be clear this Supreme Court hardly ever decides

anything. It's Trump's court. Exactly. This is Trump's court. He put three people on it. Nine-zero. The man needs to come home and stay in trial and we have a we have an administration right now that's literally using the Constitution as a suggestion box. You know what I'm saying? So that's fundamentally the problem and what we continue to deal with and the fact that the relationship between the federal government and our states really has been ruptured. All right, we have more with the governor of Maryland, Westmore, when we come back,

it's the Breakfast Club, good morning. Morning everybody, it's DJ, Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy, we are the Breakfast Club, Lauren LaRosa is here as well, we're still kicking in with the governor of Maryland, Westmore. Charlamagne? I love the fact that governors

have their boots on the ground. And I saw Governor Josh Shapiro on Bill Maher and I forgot what Bill asked him, but he was just like, look, I'm not focused on what they got going on in DC. I'm focused on what I got going on in Pennsylvania. So I like that. How do we keep you from being a corny DC type?

He will never. Them DC guys so corny, man. Listen, you know how I guess is I didn't come from that. When I first ran for governor, I ran against statewide elected officials, I ran against cabinet secretaries, the former head of the DNC, the former head of the Democratic Party ran for governor.

And then me, a guy who had never run for office for my life, but I was connected to the people, right? It was the people that made me the governor. It wasn't a party, it wasn't a political establishment. In fact, the political establishment wanted somebody else. So when I got into that seat, I decided I'm not going to turn into something that I never was in the first place. You know what I mean? So the way I have continued to lead is I am about the people. I will always stand with the people. A political party does not give me my talking points.

Good. Don't let them change you because you know, they already talking about you with 2028 and they'll be like, Wes, come over here, start saying this and start doing that and meet this person and take money from this person and then what, you know what I mean? I don't play that game because I didn't get here. That's not how I got here in the first place, man. I am the most improbable governor in this country when you think about my journey, right?

When you think about my life path and you know, and again, I'm a person of faith and Hezekiah Walker, you know he's got a line where he says when I think about my story I can't help but give God glory. There you go. I know where my strength comes from. My strength doesn't come from a political party. My strength don't come from political bosses. I don't follow that. I follow the people that got me here in the first place. The people who bucked the political system, which was the people. And so I'm not at all concerned about becoming a creature of something that didn't create me in the first place.

And actually I think that the main thing that people can do right now is stay true and stay committed and stay authentic. You know, when people say, well, what direction should people go in or how should people talk or whatever like that? I always find that question so confusing. I'm like, be authentic, because if you're not authentic, the people will suss it out, and the people will snuff it out,

and they'll take care of you the way they take care of you. This is something that I love about you. It's something that Dr. Umar Johnson loves about you. The fact that you have a black one. Because so many people in positions of power like you in government, especially black people, they don't. Now love is love, love who you want to love but as a man who loves to see black men with black women, have beautiful black families, I love it. What is the

importance of that? You know it's funny when I got married, we've been married now for 18 years, my wife, she's beautiful man and she's just an amazing human being. I remember when we said our vows, this shows you how corny I was when we first got married. We give our vows and I'm like you know my vows I'm gonna keep it fresh and sexy. Jesus Christ. That's what you say in front of her face. My vows. I'm gonna keep it fresh and sexy. All you had to do was hit her on Tuesday. That sound like a two dollar Tuesday party. That sound like someone was flying in a party. Jess was not.

That sound like someone was flying in a party. Jess was not. No. Hello. That sound like someone would fly in a party. Come there fresh and sexy Friday. Fresh and sexy Friday. In Baltimore. But you know what her vow was to me? She said, I will be your greatest defender. Oh. Wow. That's what black women are for us though.

And that's what they've always been. Like I'm telling you man, when you think about what black women have meant to us, you know, the whole, you know, we was raised by women, got a game for women. You know what I'm saying? Like black women have always been our anchor.

Black women have always been our guide. Black women have always been the ones to when the whole world denied us, they defended us. And they lifted us up. And you know, and I think about this where even the work that we're doing right now in Maryland around our young men and boys, do you know who beautifully have been some

of the greatest champions of the work that Maryland is doing, that really the nation leading work on supporting our young men and boys? Women. Because they know that's talking about their sons and their husbands and their fathers and their uncles and their friends. and it's so beautiful to watch because it is very indicative of how black women and women as a whole have always been our greatest offenders

Mm-hmm that when the whole world came at us Oftentimes it was women who stood in front of us with shields and say not today and I cannot be More lucky about the fact that I've married my best friend. I married someone who I love and who I respect and who I adore and someone who I'm so thankful is on my side because I never want to be on the other side of her spear ever but someone who I um who I'll ride for because she's always wrote for me. She's about to slap you out out of you or something. Oh my God. Yeah.

Which one is it? He said what 18 years, 16? Would you want it this morning? Okay. Yeah. So it's a darling whore, the beautiful darling whore. Yes, yes. She's the first African American first lady of the state.

She is, she sure is, she sure is. She's a beast too, she's a beast. Y'all gotta come down, y'all gotta come, in fact. Y'all gonna have crabs if we come? Oh, absolutely. Absolutely. And in fact, she is the co-chair of the Preakness Festival. So for y'all, so you know, you know, Preakness. So Preakness is Freakness. I'm like what? I'm like oh she blacked out for that. Preakness. Preakness is the second leg. Yes, it's the second leg of the Triple Crown, one of the biggest horse races inside of the entire country. But it's also a big deal because it's a whole festival around it. And it's in beautiful Park Heights, Baltimore, the home of Brandon Scott. But my amazing wife,

our state's first lady, is the co-chair. You got to see what she is doing, the build-out she's having, club quarantine, D-Nice is coming down there, bringing Jay to kids, bringing two short First Lady is the co-chair. You got to see what she is doing. The build out she's having. Club quarantine. Dean Nice is coming down there bringing up bringing Jada kids, bringing two short. I mean bring everybody. It's going to be a party. From May 10th to May 17th. I'll be there May 14th. Well Governor Westmore, thank you brother. We appreciate you man. We love the work you're doing in Maryland. I mean, you know, I somebody need to replicate it on the national stage and I hope that you know,

somebody gets the opportunity to you know, because I don't know if we will have a democracy in 2028 or not, but we'll see. Oh we will as long as we don't as long we don't forfeit it. Yeah Now that's I'm saying like like I mean like we have to, man. It's like the power does belong to the people. That's the beauty of where we're at right now. And I'll say this one thing for our close too. And this is why Maryland, I think actually is really important in this situation. I'm a big history buff.

So like, especially in really difficult times, I generally tend to lean on history and I like a lot of Maryland history. You know, in really difficult times like now, I'll read about famous Marylanders like Harriet Tubman or Frederick Douglass or Thurgood Marshall. And I think to myself, imagine having a conversation with Harriet Tubman, who by the way,

one of the great things about being governor is I have the power to commission and I made Harriet Tubman a general last year. So she's now general Harriet Tubman. And I think about what would a conversation be like with general Tubman telling her about the dangers of this moment. And I think about the would a conversation be like with General Tubman telling her about the dangers of this moment. And I think about the way she would look at me

and say, do you know what I've been through? Do you know what it was like when I had to run from my life, from my freedom in the middle of the night, running from dogs and people with guns. And then when I finally made it to Pennsylvania and I got my freedom, I then decided to go back to bring more people and where she became one of the greatest conductors

in the Underground Railroad. And I think to myself, what a conversation where Harriet Tubman would be like telling her how tough my job, how difficult we've got it. And watch her look at me and say, I would have shot him. Yeah. That's right.

Yeah, why are you arguing with him? Why? I was just. Exactly. You like me. We all just nodded to see clips. Why are you arguing with these people in Congress? You know what I mean? I was trying to see them.

In the middle of the night. In the middle of the night. In the middle of the night. In the middle of the night. Now I get what you're saying. You know what I'm saying? But like let's not forget where we come from. That's right.

Like for all these people who are like, oh this is tough and all this, we go and go. Please don't forget our history. Please don't forget our ancestors. Please don't forget what they had to go through. And listen, I, you know, as K-Dy says, we gonna be awesome. We gonna be awesome. We gonna be awesome. We gonna be awesome. We. I you know as K.
