Shulamain, the God, he'll be here in the second, too.
But guess what day it is?
Guess what day it is?
Pump day!
That's right.
It's Wednesday, middle of the week.
How are y'all feeling?
What's up, Red?
What's up, V?
All right, back from an amazing vacation.
You enjoyed your couple days, well?
Yes, my daughter got engaged.
Hey, congratulations, brother.
Oh, man, I'm sure we'll talk about it later on the show.
But just, it's my first, of course.
She's 23.
should be 24 next month and just to see how happy she was and how they are as a young couple
and the process of of the engagement it was beautiful oh man man you know i'm a cry so i cry
all the whole trip so you know he approached my wife uh andrew which is her fiance
approached my wife a couple of months ago and said he wanted to do it he said uh madison's whole
thing is family and travel so he wanted to do a place where she's never been but she wanted her
to go. So it was mecanos,
Greece. So that's
what he said it, but he said he wanted to do it
as a surprise. So what he wanted to do was
we'll break it down later in the show is
everything was a surprise. She didn't know she
was going. He got my wife
to pack her bag, so it was like
pretty much picked her up from work and they went straight
to the airport, had no clue what they were doing
and we flew out there before them
and surprised. It was just amazing. So congratulations
to Andrew and Madison.
Congratulations. Thank you.
All right, but let's get the show cracking.
We've got Keisha Lance Bottom.
She'll be joining us this morning.
Of course, you know, she was the mayor of Atlanta, so we'll be kicking it with her.
Now, the gang is going to be a little late.
I'm just telling you that the gang is probably going to be late all week long.
All right.
So, UN is in town.
The president is in town.
And what they're doing now, because I guess maybe the recent shooting of the CEO a couple of months ago
and things that's been happening around the city, they have blocked everything off.
And they're not letting us get up the block without us stepping out the car and them searching the whole car.
You got searched?
What?
Oh, man.
They had to open up every door, every hatch, everything.
They had to check the car.
And I told the guy, said, look, I'm about to be late.
Can you just sly me through?
He said, no, you got to go back around the block and go in this private lane.
So we went back around the block in this private lane, and I was still late.
Yeah, but they searched everything.
And they searched everything.
And he told me, he says, this is going to happen for the next couple of weeks.
So he was like, I advise you to leave a little earlier.
I said, you're right.
So I know Charlemagne is in that same, that same, that same function.
Yep.
I know Jess is in that same situation.
It's nasty out there, but we got front page news next.
Me and me will be joining us.
Don't go anywhere as the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ NV.
Jess O'Larious Sholomey.
We are the Breakfast Club.
The whole gang is late.
If you're just joining us, the whole gang is going to be late all weekend.
The U.N. is in town.
They're stopping cars.
They're pulling everybody over that has to drive in this area.
So, like I said, they pulled me out the car.
They searched the whole car.
Maybe lift up the trunk, the front.
All sides.
All the doors were open.
They had the dog sniff and everything.
So I hope Jess ain't smoked before she got the word.
Anyway, but let's get in some front page news.
Let's start up with some quick sports.
Now, you know, we do WNBA playoffs and NBA playoffs.
That WNBA is in playoff season.
So Mercury versus Lynx.
Mercury beat the links, Mercury beat the Links, 89, 83.
The a ACEs beat the fever, 90 to 68.
And if you're a Giants fan, it looked like Jackson Dart is going to be starting over Russell Wilson.
That's game for against the charges.
Now, I feel like everybody who leaves the Giants do well.
Of course, Saquine Barclay is busting ass.
Daniel Jones.
Three and O.
Who's playing for the coach is 3-0 and is playing great, like great stats.
But I guess we got that curse for a little bit.
What's up, Mimi?
Good morning, Envy.
How are you?
I'm doing well.
How are you?
Good, thanks.
And congratulations to Madison.
That's awesome.
Oh, thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Of course, of course.
Okay, so you were talking about the UN and being late.
And that is the course happening over the next few weeks.
And President Trump, he was there yesterday.
The UN is holding its 80th annual gathering, President Trump.
delivered one of the longest addresses by any American president, nearly an hour of combative
remarks that drew sharp criticism and even some laughter from world leaders. Let's listen to some
of what he had to say. In Switzerland, beautiful Switzerland, 72% of the people in prisons are from
outside of Switzerland. When your prisons are filled with so-called asylum seekers who
repained kindness, and that's what they did, they repaid kindness with crime, it's time to end
the failed experiment of open borders.
you have to end it now. I'm really good at this stuff. Your countries are going to hell.
In America, we've taken bold action to swiftly shut down uncontrolled migration.
Once we started detaining and deporting everyone who crossed the border
and removing illegal aliens from the United States, they simply stop coming. They're not coming anymore.
We're getting a lot of credit, but they're not coming anymore.
So his speech went on for about an hour and a half of just different ramblings and different things like that.
He went on to call climate change the greatest con job ever perpetrated on the world and mocked wind power as pathetic.
He also lashed out at the UN itself, saying all it does is issue strongly worded letters and doesn't solve wars.
And there were a few lighter moments.
He joked about the broken escalator when he got there.
The escalator wasn't working of the broken teleprompter at one point.
But overall, Trump's message was clear, closed borders, keep drilling and stop letting global groups decide politics.
And so at 7 we'll talk more about Jimmy Kimball
And we'll also get into what Trump was saying about Tylenol
And what the maker of Tolanol is now saying
Yeah, I see with Trump
Nothing that he says is really based off of facts
This is just opinion and emotion, right?
Yeah
Because everybody's talking about the things that he's saying
There's no fact on there's no basis to what he's saying
On any of it
And especially when we talk about the Tylenol stuff
There's no study, it's just, you know, literally him
Just saying how he feels
And so there's been a lot of backlash
About that too, Envy.
All right, well,
Jump into that next hour.
Everybody else, get it off your chest.
800-58-1-105-1.
If you need to vent, phone lines are wide open.
Again, 800-58-1-105-1.
Get it off your chest.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Wake up, wake up.
This is your time to get it off your chest.
Whether you are mad or blast.
We want to hear from you on the Breakfast Club.
Hello, who's this?
I'm good morning.
DJ F.J.M.V. Breakfast Club.
Taxi Joe, what's up, brother?
Good morning.
What you calling from?
Pepsi Joe.
I'm in a Bronx right now, buddy.
Oh, he said Pepsi Joe.
Pepsi Joe.
My bad.
Yeah, Pepsi Joe.
Nah, you go, brother.
I'm grabbing trucks.
I just hope everybody's having a blessing day.
Please, God.
Stay.
Oh, yeah, you go.
You got your own blowing.
I'm just telling you, stay out of Manhattan this week because the city is crazy.
No, no.
I stay in the Bronx.
I stay local.
Okay.
I just want everybody if you're going through something,
I want you to know, you can get over it.
And we will get over it.
Just longer than whatever you're going.
Absolutely Pepsi Joe. Appreciate you for calling and checking in.
Not a problem, man.
Well, Joe.
You're back.
You too now.
Hello, who's this?
This is Trinnell.
What's up?
Get it off your chest.
Man, I'm going to just calling it.
I want to thank the breakfast club, especially just hilarious,
for rocking with my brand duck and bad vibes.
I've seen her wear it on air a bunch of times, so I want to call it to her personally.
Okay.
Well, if she wears it, that means she must love it, so send us some more of it.
I definitely will.
Can I shout out the Instagram and everything?
Of course.
Go ahead, brother.
Instagram is Duckin' Bad Vibes, and the whole Brennan is in honor my uncle who was killed.
I'm from Arroy, Illinois, so you guys go check it out, duck and bad vibes.
Thank you.
All right, brother.
Have a good one.
You too, man.
Hello, who's this?
This is Nah, from Atlanta, brother.
Nah, what's up?
Get it off your chest, brother.
First of all, I want to shout out to continue to know that the people are riding with him.
We see what he's going through, and I'm so glad to hear that he's back on the air, not submitting or bowing down to the authoritarian BS.
that is our president.
Yeah, I'm glad he's back on air.
I didn't, like I said, I was out of town for the last eight days.
My daughter got engaged, so I kind of was off the grid, so I'm just catching up.
But I did see when he came back, and it's sad that people were happy that he was off air.
And, you know, he was saying, like, 100 people worked on that staff.
So 100 people would have lost their jobs, but I'm glad he's back on air.
And, you know, I always say, you know, you should be able to say what you want to say and take a joke.
But people take things a little too far, but I'm glad he's back on air.
well. So what he said last night on his token, and for sure everything to say, what he said
last night could have been no more as truthful to the fact that if we cannot openly express
ourselves and make a light joke and have to worry about being fired and taken off and cancel
or whatnot, that is the most un-American things that we have seen the far from this cabinet.
You know, you're absolutely right. We should be able to take, people should be able to make a joke
and especially comedians,
but, you know, for every action, there's a reaction.
I can't get on this air and say what I want to say,
how I want to say it,
because if it offends the wrong person,
yes, I can get suspended as well.
But a normal joke, you're right.
He should be able to say what he wants to say
and not get suspended for a joke,
especially when the ratings look totally different.
Absolutely, absolutely.
And shout up to your daughter for her engagement.
That is a beautiful thing.
I did not forget it's no Virgo season.
So happy birthday, DJ Envy.
Everybody that calls up,
make sure you shout out DJ Envy.
Great. Hey, thank you, brother. Appreciate you, man. Be safe out there.
You too, brother. God bless.
All right now. Get it off your chest.
800-585-105-1. If you need to vent, hit us up now. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
I'm telling. I'm telling.
Hey, what you doing, man?
I'm calling you.
This is your time to get it off your chest. Whether you're mad or blessed.
800-585-105-1. We want to hear from you on the Breakfast Club.
Hello, who's this?
Well, DJ Amy, this is your boy, Freaky D.
Call it from Detroit, Michigan.
What up, Doe.
What up, Doe?
What up, Frankie D. Talk to us.
Get it off your chest.
Hey, man.
Boy, y'all got to stop being late.
Shout out to you for being on time.
Today is...
Man, I just got to get off my chest, man.
Today is something different, but I'm not even going to lie, man.
Like I said, the U.N.'s in town, and that's when all the national leaders come to New York City,
and they have these huge conferences.
And when I say, I've never seen anything like this, I mean, there must have been a
least a hundred cops outside and they're pulling vehicles over that have to come on the block
and come to our parking lots and there they asked me to step out the car they searched the car
made me open up the front to open up the back or every door open up the dog was sniffing like they
are really into the cars and there was no notice it was not like they could say okay well tomorrow
this is what's happening now so you know if you're heading your usual schedule time they pull you
out your car there's no way you can make it on time and it just so happened i i just you know i'm
always just try to get here a little early anyway you know
Well, DJ Envy, I've got to tell you, man, I'm smiling ear to ear.
I've been listening to the Breakfast Club for over 10 years.
I actually got shot in the head when I was a senior high school
and what helped me make it through is listening to Dunk You Today
every single day on YouTube.
And to this day, I feel listening every day is a part of my morning schedule.
But I got to sit down my chest.
Jess Amelia came to Detroit at 2021, pulled up to Enterprise.
I gave a free upgrade, took a picture with her.
she was supposed to follow me on Instagram
never follow me back
and so I just feel like
that's fake news right there
that's so fake
Detroit Station love to Jess
and my feelings on my head
I gotta get that off the chest
well thank you for upgrading her
but you know Jess don't be followed
I don't even think Jess follows me
so she can't follow you without following me
she'll follow nobody
and I gotta get out of my chance
to all the people
who talk about Shalabana guy
like it's just funny
because he literally does not care
he'd be laughing
that's the way to do it
It feels funny, but, hey, man, keep doing what you doing all with it to you to talk to you,
so I'm late and have a good day, brother.
Have a good one, brother.
Hello, who's this?
Yo, this, Sunny, what's going on, Envy?
Sonny, what's up, man?
Get it off your chest.
Oh, man.
Anyway, I want to congratulate you on, you know, your daughter's engagement and everything.
I was trying to get a hold of you all the other day, but game was whaling out.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Thank you.
Yeah, yeah.
But what's going on with the, what's up with the orange dude, bro?
This is crazy.

There's nothing different
Yeah

Six o'clock.

I bet you screamed out yes before she did
yes I marry you
and then
we celebrated the whole week
so he set up everything from day
beach parties to night
dinners to
we took a yacht out we just had
an amazing time celebrating love
He did it the right way.
He asked me, you know, we went out to dinner.
And the funny thing about him taking me out to dinner was we've been planning this already,
but he wanted to ask me the right way.
So at dinner, he's nervous.
I'm like, why are you nervous?
You know, I already know.
He's like, you know, I just want to say this.
You want to ask you the right way.
Yes, he has to ask the father.
Can I take it?
I thought he did that already.
He did it right before we left.
No, he did it right before we left.
And it was just he's a good person, great individual.
You know, they've been living with us for the last, I would say, year and a half,
why Madison's house is getting renovated.
So I get to see them up close in person.
I get to see them when they don't agree on something.
I get to see how he takes care of her siblings.
I get to see how he goes out on date night.
We double date.
You guys have met him.
So it's just like I got to see him.
So it's like, you know, when you look as a father and you have daughters,
you want your daughter to have that person that's,
you don't want to say perfect, but nobody's perfect,
but it's a good human being that will love her regardless,
that doesn't care about nothing but love and he is that.
I love that.
Wow.
So I, I, I really, we went shopping with each other.
Like, I help him shop for the trip.
For the trip.
We went shopping with each other.
He's a, he's a great individual.
Congratulations.
And what he's done for making Madison.
Like, he just wants Madison to be happy.
That is so nice.
I'm just trying to figure out how y'all found a young man that looks exactly like someone
who would be wearing matching, matching outfits with y'all already.
But it's perfect, though.
He's been right in.
He fit right in Godspeed.
He fit right in.
I was like, damn, Logan proposed to Madison.
No, the comments were saying.
The comments were saying, what?
Logan?
No, no.
But, you know, he's a good dude.
And like I said, I'm excited for them.
Do we got videos?
Yeah, we got videos.
Yeah, I need to look.
I need to see.
The content rollout has been slow.
We've been waiting for more.
Well, you know, we were enjoying the moment.
And we said we wouldn't really post until we got back.
So that's why we posted yesterday.
But we just wanted to enjoy the moment.
This is the, like, we was really enjoying.
And if you ever get a chance to go to Greece, we went to Mekino's and Santerini.
We saw you.
It was beautiful.
You was living it up.

We were like, we just, we had a great time.
But there's another step, Andrew.
You got to be married within the year, okay?
When's the wedding?
They're looking in 2026.
So, 27, excuse me, a year and a half.
So I'm looking at a year and a half.
That's a good window.
And the dope thing about it is,
is he really respects me and my wife's marriage.
So he wants to get married at the same place that we got married.
Out in Long Island,

He looked like a clone.
Now he's singing like his little butt.
And he said he asked him at the dinner.
It's a lot of little slips going on in this conversation.
Even though you know him already, when y'all did sit down and had that conversation,
was there like, like, what's the, like, I don't know if you want to get this?
But the man, the man, like, how does, what do you tell him walking in the?
to this part of the marriage?
Like, what is your advice?
Because now in the conversation is a little different.
I listen to him and what he thought,
what he thought about my daughter
and what he thought about our family.
The main thing for him,
I just told him everything is,
and it sounds so cliche,
but Charlemagne and says to say,
anybody that's married,
it's communication, right?
Everything is communication.
It's how you handle the disagreements,
how you handle everything that doesn't go right.
Because, you know, in the marriage,
it takes effort.
So, you know, when things going right,
it's all good.
But when you have that first disagreement
or there's an argument
or it's that low time,
As long as that communication is the key,
then everything else will find this way to.
Yeah.
Well, congratulations again to Madison and Andrew.
They said you're going to drop about one to two million on the wedding.
That's what the people were saying in the comments.
Look.
I thought the groom's dad is supposed to pay for it, right?
Are my tripper?
Yes.
No, it's the bride.
It's the bride.
He got four girls.
I can't do that.
Definitely.
I don't adopt one of your house.
That's old school.
We're not doing that.
But we're going to make it nice.
We're going to make it special.
And I've been looking at all the people that's been commenting.
Right.
So I'm going to start hitting them.
You know, I've seen Jagged Edge comments.
So I'm like, I'm going to hit them.
I've seen One-12 comment.
I'm going to hit them.
I've seen Cardi B.

For what, money?
No.

actually made you know all that screaming at the wedding yeah it's reception okay and you know

I'm Jorge Ramos.
And I'm Paola Ramos. Together we're launching The Moment, a new podcast about what it means to live
through a time as uncertain as this one.
We sit down with politicians.
I would be the first immigrant mayor in generations,
but 40% of New Yorkers were born outside of this country.
Artists and activists, I mean, do you ever feel demoralized?
I might personally lose hope.
This individual might lose the faith,
but there's an institution that doesn't lose faith.
And that's what I believe in.
To bring you depth and analysis from a unique Latino perspective.
There's not a single day that Paola and I don't call or text each other,
sharing news and thoughts about what's happening in the country.
This new podcast will be a way to make that ongoing
intergenerational conversation public.

What do you get when a true crime producer walks into a comedy club?
I know it sounds like the start of a bad joke, but that really was my reality nine years ago.
I just normally do straight stand-up, but this is a bit different.
On stage stood a comedian with a story that no one expected to hear.
On 22nd of July 2015, a 23-year-old man had killed his family.
And then he came to my house.
So what do you get when a true crime producer walks into a comedy club?
A new podcast called Wisecrack, where stand-up comedy and murder takes center stage.
Available now.

I had this overwhelming sensation
that I had to call it right then.
And I just hit call.
You know, hey, I'm Jacob Schick, I'm the CEO of One Tribe Foundation, and I just wanted to call on and let her know.
There's a lot of people battling some of the very same things you're battling, and there is help out there.
The Good Stuff podcast, Season 2, takes a deep look into One Tribe Foundation, a non-profit fighting suicide in the veteran community.
September is National Suicide Prevention Month, so join host Jacob and Ashley Schick as they bring you to the front lines of One Tribe's mission.
I was married to a combat army veteran, and he actually took his own mark to suicide.
It's like one tribe, save my life twice.
There's a lot of love that flows through this place and it's sincere.
Now it's a personal mission.
Don't have to go to any more funerals, you know.
I got blown up on a React mission.
I ended up having amputation below the knee of my right leg and a traumatic brain injury because I landed on my head.
Welcome to Season 2 of the Good Stuff.

All right, all right.
All right.
All right.
When we come back, we got front page news.
Don't go anywhere.
It's the breakfast club.
Good morning.
You're checking out the Breakfast Club.
Let's get back in some front page news.
Start off with some quick sports.
Now, WNBA playoffs, the Mercury beat the Links, 89, 83,
and the Aces beat the fever 9068.
Let's go, Aces. Come on, Asia.
Need Aces to win that series.
You know what I'm saying?
I need Aja Wilson and the Aces to advance.
Now, also the Giants rookie Jackson Darr is going to start over Russell Wilson in week four.
It seems like everybody who leaves Giants really do well,
Saquan Barclay, of course.
What's Daniel Jones is busting ass for the coast at 3-0.
Sierra, I tried to tell you when you was up here.
Okay, I tried to tell you when you was up here.
The Giants are going to giant.
Okay, and Russell Wilson deserves better.
Like, you know, Russell Wilson has actually played pretty good.
You know?
You don't, we don't look too good.
But what's up, Mimi?
Good morning.
How are you doing, Charlemagne, Envy?
Good, good, good.
Good morning.
Okay, so now to the story that everybody is talking about, right?
So there were so many big moments from Jimmy Kimmel's monologue last night.
So we're going to just jump right in.
After nearly a week of being off air, Jimmy Kimmel returned to a standing ovation.
And he used the moment to take a stand for free speech.
Fighting back tears, though, he addressed the controversy that got his show suspended.
Let's listen to that.
But I do want to make something clear because it's important to me as a human.
And that is, you understand that it was never my intention to make light of the murder
of a young man.
I don't think there's anything funny about it.
I posted a message on
Instagram on the day he was killed, sending love
to his family, and asking for compassion.
And I meant it, and I still do.
Nor was it my intention to blame
any specific group for
the actions of what it was obviously
a deeply disturbed individual.
That was really the opposite
of the point I was trying to make, but I understand
that to some that felt either ill-timed
or unclear or maybe both.
Yeah, I watched the whole thing
It was cool, you know what I'm saying
I didn't like the tears
Okay, I'll be honest with you
The tears seemed a little false
That's fake
The tears did seem a little false
You know what I'm saying
And it was kind of an apology
But not an apology
Sort of kind of
Like he was tiptoeing
Sorry
Like let me ask you a question
Like I said
I was totally off the grid
Did he say something
That was very foul
And disrespectful
That required the tears
And he's the thing
Here's the thing with the Kimmel
The Kimmel
Monologue from last night
I agree with everything he said about free speech
But people have to acknowledge
Donald Trump has a hit list
Like I don't know why these people are acting like
You know, like they actually said something
You know super offensive
And so you know people were mad about that
No Donald Trump has a hit list
And Jimmy Kimmel is on that list
So any little thing Jimmy Kimmel does
Donald Trump is going to have the FCC on his ad
And I think he says something to the fact that
You know a hundred people would have lost their job
For a little joke and did he say that something
because I seen, I heard parts of it on my way in this morning as well.
Yeah, so we're going to get into that right now.
And I knew you were going to say that about the tears, Charlemagne,
just based on what we talked about yesterday.
But he also got a chance to turn his attention to President Trump.
And this is kind of what you're referring to, NB.
Let's listen to what he had to say.
The president of the United States made it very clear he wants to see me
and the hundreds of people who work here fired from our jobs.
Our leader celebrates Americans losing their livelihoods because he,
can't take a joke. He tried
to his best to cancel me. Instead,
he forced millions of people to watch the show.
That backfired, Bigley.
He might have
to release the Epstein files to distract
us from this now.
That was good. I like that one.
That was really good. You have to release
the Epstein files to distract us from this.
And you know, he also
took a moment to thank people who
don't agree with him politically, but
still defended his right to be heard.
And let's listen to what he had to say about that.
I want to thank the people who don't support my show and what I believe,
but support my right to share those beliefs anyway.
Who I never would have imagined like Ben Shapiro, Clay Travis, Candice Owens, Mitch McConnell, Rand Paul,
even my old pal Ted Cruz, who believe it or not, said something very beautiful on my behalf.
I hate what Jimmy Kimmel said. I am thrilled that he was fired.
Oh, wait, no, not that.
The other part.
But let me tell you, if the government gets in the business of saying,
we don't like what you, the media, have said,
we're going to ban you from the airwaves if you don't say what we like.
That will end up bad for conservatives.
I don't think I've ever said this before, but Ted Cruz is right.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, go ahead.
No, go ahead.
What are we going to say?
No, I was just going to say, you know, Trump, just please, Trump has a hit list, man.
And Jimmy Kimmel is on it, and Sinclair didn't air him in a bunch of markets.
That was going to ask you.
Yeah, he wasn't aired in every market.
Yeah, they didn't air him in a bunch of markets because they're still at the mercy of Trump and the FCC
because they have to get this merger with a techno-approved.
Yeah.
And not only did they not, did Sinclair not air him in every market?
Nextstar also joined in, and they did not air him in their markets as well.
And so Jimmy Kimmel, he also went after the FCC chair, Brendan Kempel.
directly calling him
unintelligent. And yesterday,
like I just said, we told you about
Sinclair Broadcasting and now Next Star,
who also owns ABC stations.
They said they're following suit, and they're going to
monitor the situation. But the political
fight is still far from over because
Trump is blasting Kimball's
return on true social. He wrote,
ABC gave Jiml Kimball his job
back despite bad ratings and
accused the show of airing 99%
Democrat garbage. He also
suggested the decision could
amount to an illegal campaign contribution and even hinted at suing again, bragging that
he once got $16 million from ABC and claiming that this case could be even more lucrative.
Yeah, I did love when Jimmy Kimmel said what Trump and the FCC are doing to him is un-American,
you know, because it is. And, you know, it's a direct attack on his First Amendment rights.
And I know people say you have, you know, freedom of speech, but, you know, when you work for
a company, you can't say anything if it's not in line with what that company is doing.
but what about when that company is getting pressure from the government?
You know what I mean?
To not have you on just because the president, you know,
has you on a hit list and doesn't like what you're saying about him.
That's a whole different ballgame.
Yeah, for sure.
All right.

All right.
Now, when we come back, we have four.
former mayor of Atlanta,
Keisha Lance Bottoms,
joining us.
She's currently running for
Governor of Georgia,
and we'll talk to her next
and don't move.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Morning, everybody.
It's E.J.
NV. J.S. Helary,
we are the Breakfast Club.
Teslin Figuero and La Rosa
is here as well.
We got a special guest in the building.
Former Mayor of Atlanta,
Keisha Lance Bottoms.
Good morning.
Thank you for having me.
Thank you for coming.
How do you feel?
I feel great.
It's great.
great to be here. It's, uh, I had a fundraiser in New York and great to see you in person.
Absolutely. How many made you want to run for a governor of Georgia in these crazy times?
Yeah, we, we are living. It's like in the twilight zone right now. So I woke up the day after
the election in November, like so many people wondering what it meant, um, for me personally
and just for us as a nation for Georgia as a state. And I did a lot of praying, a lot of talking and
then some more praying, and I decided in this season to get back in the ring.
We need strong leadership.
I agree.
And people are looking to states and to local governments to stand in the gap because we've
got so much craziness and chaos coming out of D.C. right now.
You know, Stacey Abrams ran for governor twice, and she fell short, even with massive national
attention.
What would you do differently?
So Georgia, you know, doesn't be like, oh, another almost.
well you know charlemagne one of the first national interviews I did was when I was a candidate for mayor and you had me on and we did it old-fashioned way you go knock on doors you call people now we've got TikTok and all these other ways that you have to communicate with people sitting here I mean your audience is massive we have to cover it all and what you do you look at every election from Stacy's elections to the VP being on the ballot in November you take what we're
work, you keep it, and then
what didn't work as well, then you
fix it. And the reality
it says, you know, there
is a reason
that Georgia went blue
in 19 and 20.
We've got two state senators
who, or two senators
from Georgia who are Democrats.
So it's possible. It just hadn't happened yet,
but it's certainly possible.
You know, a lot of critics say Democrats
in Georgia can't win statewide
unless they run more moderate.
like would you play to the center or lean fully into like progressive
you know my mom always says you only have to tell the truth once
and the truth the truth is I mean I am a moderate
you know you're just standing your truth and what you believe in
and I believe that there are some policies that work from the left
there are some policies that may be more conservative
but at the end of the day it's about getting things done
And when I served as mayor, we got a lot of things done from adding and preserving 7,000 units of affordable housing to getting our city workers up to a minimum wage of $15 an hour because in Georgia it's just over $5 an hour to, I mean, I can give an entire list of things that we were able to accomplish, but it was standing in our truth and what our values were.
I want to ask you, 49 women have been elected as governor and not one has been a black woman.
When you talk about what hasn't worked and what didn't work, what are some of the challenges that you see that all those successful in Atlanta, which is the black mecca, how will you, I guess, galvanize when you look at Georgia as a state, which is very different than Atlanta being, I would say, its own state by itself.
How are you going to, you know, reach out to those communities that are not interested, you know, in electing?
And not just a woman of color, specifically a black woman.
How do you plan on dealing with those challenges?
Well, the reality is this we've never had a woman elected governor in Georgia either.
And it is about meeting people where they are.
So we've been traveling around the state.
Atlanta is a great place, but I can't rely just on Atlanta.
If I did, if any candidate did, we wouldn't win.
So we've been making Warner Robbins, Augusta, will be in Albany next week.
We have been to Savannah, Chatham County.
We're moving around the state, talking directly to people.
So I've got this whole list of issues that I want to focus on, eliminating state income taxes for our teachers.
We've got a teacher shortage, expanding Medicaid in our state.
We've got nine rural hospitals who have closed.
We have half our counties who don't have OBG.
don't have pediatricians, more deaths than births in more than half our counties in the state.
That's unacceptable.
So we're moving around talking to people.
I've got my list of issues, but as I'm hearing from people, I'm adding to that list.
And it's about reaching everybody, black women, black men, brown people, white people.
It's about listening and being willing to course.
correct when necessary.
You know, Republicans in Georgia don't play for it.
You got voters oppression, gerrymandering,
get coach awards. Like, do you think
you can really out-scrategize that? Are you feel like
you, like, kind of walking into a trap?
No, we've done it before. I mean,
and I know you all are paying attention to
what's happening in Georgia. 500,000
people have been removed from
our voter rolls. That's crazy. There are
hearings happening right now
in the state where they're trying to reduce
early voting and remove
absentee voting. And this whole
list. And when you look at a place like Georgia where the margins are so thin, it matters. So you
mentioned Stacey's first race, 55,000 votes. She lost five. The vice president, 100,000
votes. That's not a lot when you have millions of people showing up to vote. So again,
what we got to do is keep talking to people, get them energized, listen, listen, listen. I've got
four children.
Three are teenagers.
One is 23.
I got to stop clutching my pearls
when they say things I don't agree with
because it's their reality.
And as candidates,
it's great that we go up on television
and do all these fancy things.
We've got to go into the barbershops,
the beauty shops.
We've got to listen to people
and then act accordingly.
In the beginning of the interview,
Charlotte may ask you like,
why now in these crazy times
that I'm hearing you talk about
like going out and doing things.
And the first thing I thought of, especially with you being the first, if elected,
it was Kamala Harris's book.
And she talked about, you know, just a lot of the struggles she went through because
as a black woman, they weren't, they didn't know, not only did they not know what to do,
it wasn't built for her, but they didn't support.
And she dealt with a lot behind the scenes.
I know you worked with the Biden campaign.
What did you experience then, if at all anything, that is preparing you for what you're
potentially about to walk into as first woman, black woman, governor?
Yeah, I worked in White House.
And you can't work in the White House and sit in that senior meeting every morning just a few steps from the Oval Office and not be a better leader.
You see how things get done, and it is challenging any time that you are the first in the room.
But it's also this opportunity.
I would always chuckle to myself when the president would say, Kisha, what do you think?
And I would think, I bet nobody's ever been asked that in the Oval Office.
Kisha.
What do you think?
So, you know, there are challenges, but there are also a lot of opportunities there.
And a lot of times when we are the first, it's hardest for us in those spaces.
But you're opening doors so that hopefully you won't be the last and it won't be as difficult as people coming behind you.
How do you navigate supporting the president like Biden while still being honest about what he could have done better and he could have done better for black communities?
because I'm on record of seeing the now of the Democratic Party
and the future of the Democratic Party,
you got to throw that old regime under the bus.
And the VP does a great job of doing that in her new book.
I don't know if you read it yet, but yes.
No, I haven't read it yet.
But, you know, there were a lot of great things
that happened from the Biden-Harris administration
that delivered for our communities.
And I think unfortunately right now,
like just a couple of days ago,
I was speaking with someone about black farmers
on all the strides that have been made
in our rural communities,
specifically to support black farmers,
Trump administration's already clawed it bad.
So there were a lot of things that were done well,
and I'm very proud of that.
Hindsight is always 2020.
You think about things that perhaps could have been done differently,
but at the end of the day,
that administration delivered a lot of wins for our communities,
and now we've got to look forward and figure out
how do we keep going?
How do we keep building?
How do we keep moving?
Even when I talked to you when I was running for mayor several years ago,
Instagram was this new thing, this new communications tool that we were using.
We're light years away from that.
And if we are stagnant, then we're not going to progress as a party.
But what I know is this, this democracy that we live in for now,
it's a work in progress.
And we've got to be nimble.
the Republican Party
I compare these MAGA Republicans
A broken clock is right twice a day
They've hit it on messaging
And they've hit it on the long game
And I think we can learn some lessons in that
I guess that's it for me right
Like Democrats
You know Democrats couldn't message
When they were winning
Right at least on a federal level
So now that they're losing
What can the party message to people
And I know it's just a state race
But you're still representing the Democratic Party
So what is the message
now. Well, I think
Charlemagne, like, we'll be looking at you
all to help us with that too.
Like, how do people get their messaging?
How do we communicate with people?
We perfected
political messaging and ads
and all these things that we've done
for decades on end. What we've
not perfected is
and I'll just go back to this
example. I remember my now 15
year old son was like
looking at some MBA something or
another on television.
and I heard Trump's voice coming through.
I'm like, what is Donald Trump?
Like, what are you watching?
He's like, oh, yeah, he's on here all the time.
Because he was talking to our kids when we were still on cable TV.
Right, no, you're right.
So I think it's going to take all of us.
It's going to take us thinking differently.
You know, the way that we've traditionally done politics clearly doesn't always work.
It's not always effective.
you can still be principled, but you can still be willing to learn something new.
And that's a challenge.
And for me, again, I'm listening when I go in the barbershop with my kids.
I'm listening when my son tells me, you know, which he did two, three years before the election,
that we had a problem with young black men.
I'm like, no, you know, our polling saying X, Y, Z.
He's like, no.
y'all got a problem
so I'm learning I'm learning
to listen
I want to ask your thoughts on
because I'll be honest with you
I'm an independent I used to be a Democrat
and I'm gonna be honest
the messaging on well at least we have a chance
that don't really land with me
like I want the straight
you know we're going in
we are taking whatever we can get
which I get you know and I understand
your point but I'm loving the energy
that Governor Newsom is on right now
and he's been inspiring to a lot
A lot of people may not agree with his politics.
I think everybody has a role to play in politics.
Your personality is your personality.
His is his.
Do you see him being helpful overall?
Because I know you're running for governor,
but the Democrat Party as a whole, bringing the smoke.
Would have been your thoughts on him being able to play that offense, defense,
you know, to kind of say things that maybe other politicians cannot
or to kind of run that play?
How have you been, have you been receiving?
Have you been clutching your pearls?
No.
some of the pay he been on. Okay. I love it. I mean, and that's his personality. So I love it. I think
and people are looking for people who are authentic and genuine in their leadership. That's his
style. And I mean, I'm here for it. And what I would say, you know, even with you identifying as
an independent, the respect that I have for that is that we can't take anybody for granted. And what
I'm seeing in this season, people are so much more informed. And I'm a Delta.
I did something with a group of deltas.
And when I tell you, they asked me the hardest questions of any group that I've been around,
you know, and I was like, oh, wow, okay.
And they were there in support of me.
But you wanted this.
But they wanted, like, like, and that makes a difference.
Like, so, you know, I'm not taking anybody for granted.
We shouldn't take anybody for granted.
I think at the end of the day, you know, a lot of people are more.
not Democrat, not Republican, and more in the middle than even we self-identify as.
But going back to Gavin Newsom, I love what he's doing.
I love that he's owning it.
I think that he is brilliant.
I love that it is authentic to him.
And I love that he is meeting the moment.
I think the biggest danger for any of us would be to engage in ways that's not authentic to us.
because people see it
and you know
people have a high BS radar
and if it's not real
people are gonna pick up on that too
it's real for him
what have your thoughts
been around your safety
going back into office like I know you had
like you got your security
was extended for some time
because the death threats you were receiving
and Trump's in office
and you guys had your back and forth
with the whole resignation thing
where your thought
it's just a crazy time
what your thoughts around that
yeah I mean as a person
of faith, I plead the blood of Jesus over me and my family because it's real. When I was mayor,
I had a lot of credible threats, including a credible kidnapping threat. I remember going for a
walk one day and a man pulling up on me saying, oh, I didn't think it was going to be this easy
to find you. Thankfully, he didn't mean me harm, but he did find me out walking by myself. So I'm
constantly
I mean I understand you
enjoy your freedom
you got faith in God
but why would you be walking
by yourself
like you still gotta protect yourself
probably not
not the smartest thing to do
but you know
I left out my door
and I went for a walk
and I didn't think
you know this man was gonna drive over
from DeKalb County
and look for me that day
now was it smart
no
but I mean that was
I wanted to walk by myself
that day
and so
back in this season, I am mindful of it.
I'm cognizant of it.
Anytime I'm speaking before a group,
I'm like, I'm looking around paying attention to who's moving,
who's, you know, where's the exit?
You know, layering on security.
I mean, it's just, it's the nature of the times that we're living in.
And it's, it is unsettling.
But it's our reality.
Do you think that there's an attack on black mayors?
I think there's an attack on black leadership across the board.
I think the attack on black mayors is like, that's generational.
Really?
You know, even Ambassador Young was called before a grand jury.
You know, so it's, yeah, I mean, I think that's real.
Why, though?
Like, why is it, why black, why does black mayor leadership get targeted in that, in that way?
Well, I mean, so I'll give Atlanta as an example.
The mayor of Atlanta is the CEO of the city.
It's a strong mayor form of government with over a billion dollar budget between the airport, the warder department, and the city's general fund budget.
Actually, probably closer to billion dollars.
That's a lot of money and a lot of contracts.
said you're signing. So even in
Georgia and in Atlanta, the guy who's
the frontrunner on the Republican side for governor
put forth legislation to take the airport
from the city of Atlanta. To take it. To take it
over because the city runs the airport. Because
there are contracts there. Some would say
it had a large part to do with in helping
to build a black middle class in Atlanta.
So anytime you have money involved and you have a singular black leader who can sign those contracts, who cannot sign those contracts, it's going to get attention.
It's going to get scrutiny and it's going to make you susceptible to investigations.
It's not fair, but that was happening when Maynard Jackson was the mayor of Atlanta.
It happened to Ambassador Young.
I mean, it, it happens.
Basically, you're saying that's where the power is.
I'm always talking about local and state.
Local and state, that's where the power is.
That's where things get done the most, the quickest, the fastest.
And you're saying that the local level, the mayors,
is targeted because of the power that they have.
Talk about a little bit about the governor.
Because we love the sex appeal.
You know how sex it is talking about Congress and president and all that.
But talk about the power that a governor has that can literally change somebody's life overnight,
opposed to being in Congress where you have to argue.
with hundreds of people.
So when federal money, for example, comes into a state,
it often flows right through the state government
through the governor's office.
Governor can determine budgets.
The governor can determine how much we're allocating toward this community
as opposed to that community.
The governor of Georgia is one of the most powerful governors
in the nation because they had the power of a line item veto.
So when legislation comes,
the governor, he can scratch out the line and change it just with the, or she will be able to
change it just with the stroke of a pen. So it matters. You are allocating budgets. You are
setting priorities. You are appointing people to boards, whether it's the Board of Regents,
which oversees higher education than the state, to the Port of Savannah that deals with
export and import that's coming in and out of the state to infrastructure projects, to
public safety, all of that flows from the governor's office.
One of the things I give you credit on, I still like to call you Mayor Lance, but I don't see
you know, my name, it's still your title.
You building in non-traditional coalitions.
A lot of times people just tap into hip-hop and tapping who they think is cool for the
moment.
You've done an excellent job of building relationships, you know, with Tip and Killer Mike and
really understanding how entertainment and hip-hop is a part of Atlanta culture.
How do you plan on still, you know, building those non-traditional coalitions and how they can
benefit you through the state of Georgia?
Because a lot of times, like you said, people just do the hot sauce in my bag, you know,
to say, you know, I'm cool for the moment.
You've really built some authentic relationships.
How were you able to do that and how do you see that benefiting you in your race?
Because you've got to hear from everybody.
And I love TIP.
I love Gaila Mike.
Those are my brothers, genuinely.
And I know they bring a voice and a perspective that I'm not going to always hear in a boardroom.
But by the same token, I have to build relationships or have had to build relationships with CEOs,
whether it's the CEO of Delta Airlines, UPS, or Home Depot.
You have to build those relationships too.
And Ambassador Young used to call it the Atlanta way, where government,
philanthropic groups, civic community, come together,
business community to be able to get things done.
And we've been the beneficiaries of that.
So when Killer Mike and Tip served on my transition committee,
I'll never forget we're sitting in the Metro Chamber of Commerce.
And you've got all these Orchon 500 CEOs and Tip and Killer Mike,
like watching these CEOs smitten that they were in the room.
Like it was priceless.
And in that room, Chip and Killer Mike met a man named Noel Khalil, who was also on the transition committee.
He's since passed.
He was a wonderful man, affordable housing builder, Columbia Residential.
From that transition committee, they built a partnership that's now allowed them to put affordable housing on the west side of Atlanta.
It came out of that room.
So that's a responsibility that I felt I had as a mayor, not just to hear from them, but also to make.
sure they were present in rooms put him in position not just entertaining
that's it that's it I mean and it's um their influence is huge but again also
they're bringing up perspective you know killer Mike very proudly says like he's
an independent he he likes Brian Kim there are things that killer Mike believes in
that some people may see as as extreme right wing you know I see it just
is him being an independent black man making decisions based on what his value set is.
And who loves Atlanta and who loves Georgia and who is going to talk to whoever's in office
and build whoever's in office to do what's best for that state and that city.
If you became governor, what's the one change you'd want people to remember you for?
Not just in Georgia, but nationwide.
The biggest thing right now, the affordability piece is huge.
That's an overarching theme.
but Medicaid expansion is huge in our state.
We've got people dying because they can't get to a hospital.
And I think if we can expand Medicaid immediately,
it will change the trajectory of a lot of communities in our state.
And at the end of the day, I want people to know that I was there,
that their lives were better, their communities were better
because I was there to serve.
Absolutely.

Jess Salarious.
Salome, the guy.
We are the breakfast club.
Let's get to the latest with Lauren.
Lauren becoming a straight fan.
Tell us, man.
She gets them from somebody.
know somebody she gets to detail
I'm the home girl that knows a little bit about
everything she'll be having the latest
on the list. 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.
Well, guys, Am I, the drama is
unfolding again in real life.
Cardi B and JT, formerly
of the City Girls, got into
it yesterday online.
So Cardi B dropped in my the drama
She has a song on the project called Magnet
Magnet in the song she does take a shot at JT and at Uzi
Let's take a listen to the verse on Magnet
So for instance, at the end she's talking about Uzi
She's talking about she's saying she's alleging that JT and Uzi share bags
So you know people get on Uzi because of the way he dresses
And they call it Flamboy and the bags and all the things
Sounds way better dirty version
She talks about Rick Owens and you know people
JT is in Rick
Rick Owens a lot. People have been on JT
for a minute about her choosing to get into
like the whole Rick Owens vibe and all the things
and then she's talking about switching up
on your friend when she's going through it.
So you know J.T. and
Young Miami notably got into
it very, it was a very big thing online
when they got into it and Young Miami
tweeted throughout of that that she doesn't
respect people who come for her when she's down.
And then last thing, last shot
that was thrown when she's talking about
your loyalty depends on who you're around.
Cardi mentioned that here
and I didn't catch it until after
but people are pointing to the fact
that that's probably about Nicki Minaj
because JT and Cardi
have been going back and forth since sometime
so back in 2018
Cardi did their song twerk
The City Girls. Things were cool. Everything was good.
JT came out and congratulated
Glorilla on
Tomorrow 2 and the success
of it. She didn't mention Cardi B
people called that out. It calls them like back and forth
with them online. They've been going in and out of it but
Cardi has mentioned prior to
that she's felt like, and fans have pointed out, too,
that they felt like when J.T. started
working with Nikki Minaj and, you know,
doing some shows with her,
her energy and her vibe
and just the relationship with Cardi tanked again.
So yesterday on X,
they started throwing things back and forth.
So J.T. got on X.
And she tagged the Patriots, CNN,
Cardi, Donald Trump, Atlantic Records,
Paola, and a couple other accounts
into an interview that a guy named Chris Blake Griffith did.
talked about Chris Blake Griffith here
because there was some DMs with Drake,
remember, and then they came out to be not real
DMs or whatever. They were alleged not to be
real DMs, but this is a stylist
who has alleged several times
that Stefan Diggs sexually assaulted
him, and that was a whole big story some
time ago, but this is coming back up again, because
he recently, like 12 days ago, sat down for this
interview. So, J.T.,
post a clip from the interview. She tax carding
all these people. She then is
talking about, you know, she wants justice for
Chris. It's unfair that, you know,
who are alleging sexual assault
get swept under the rug
like that whole thing
um hey yo
yeah she's doing yo
Nikki did this before
Nikki did this before
yeah she's going in
she's saying
with the whole Megan thing
this is crazy
JT says gay men should be protected
I feel like this isn't being taken
seriously enough
this is nuts and it's sad
Cardi's Cardi B's baby father
is a gay man not because of how he dresses
or expresses itself but because
then she talks about the allegations
that Chris is saying
these things out of his mouth
justice for Chris
all the things
so you know
at that point now
they'd be wanting justice
when they beefing
they'd be wanting justice
for other people
when they beefing with a prison
oh yeah
because it didn't stop there
I'm just saying
what it is
definitely it corresponds
yes
it always wanted justice
for somebody
that's what's up
so Cardi B hopped online
mind you
Cardi B is in the midst
of you know
still rolling out her album
so she's meeting with fans
she's at a Walmart
and there's thousands of fans there
but she's on X and then she also posts the video
so she hops on X and she's like
that's not true I have receipts of it
and then she throws back some
allegations as well she says that
she alleges that Uzi
forced JT to get abortions
she also talks about having
some like as she nudes of JT
as well she talks about some
things that she's you know I guess she's saying
she has receipts that he said about Rock Nation
and then she posts this
video while at a listening event
Let's take a listen.
I apologize for being late, but I'm going to make sure I take a picture with every body that purchase.
And a CD, real purchase, no fucking butt, real purchase, real people.
And I got a receipt for a day, nasty one.
I even got ashy-nose.
I got too assy-assy-ass-nude, too.
I thought I was finished last year.
That's what it is.
I will say, though, I was disappointed in J.T. for that because J.T. can rap.
And as long as we've known, J.T., she's always been about the music.
Cardi gave you bars.
Like, I want to hear you rap, J.T.
I don't want to see tweets and Instagram rats.
What, Gene, if you say, rap, get in the booth.
Okay, all that social media chatting now.
Let me get some music.
And what's crazy, people always want to say Cardi's not an artist.
But she took it to the booth.
She had an issue with JT.
She held it all the same.
held on this for the album.
J.T. You took it to the internet. Where the music at?
And I don't want to hear these rants and these.
I want to see the bars. What the bars at, J.T.
Well, yesterday J.T. was in the studio.
She was on Snapchat and she addressed
the situation that she didn't drop bars yet, but she was
in the studio. Let's take a listen to what J.T. had to say.
This rat-ass bitty. Right.
This is supposed to be a
mother-friam. And she threatened
in a snitch on some other fucking body
because she don't have anything to say
about a bitch. That's a loser.
So then
She said, I'm going to tell her little by nation what you said, what he said, oh, blah, blah, no, not just that.
The bitch trying to spread fake tea about abortions when she stood her illiterate ass in front of millions of people and said she stand for pro-choice.
Drops bomb.
I can't take the dumb serious.
I can't take the end.
Don't mean me typing all this mother-bent messages or I'm calling the police on your ass for defamation of parrots to be because I'm sick of it.
and I will be back.
You're not a podcast, J.T.
You're not a radio personality.
You're not a screamer.
Rap.
Get in the booth.
I want to hear this through music.
Okay?
Because that's what Cardi gave you.
Cardi gave you bars.
Cardi gave you a record.
I want to hit music, J.T.
I'm here for it.
She called Cardi to Snitch, right?
Yeah, she said, I'm going to call the police.
They don't work like that.
No.
Well, Cardi B then tweeted, ladies and gentlemen,
this is why the album is called.
Am I the drama?
Good night, everybody.
But in the midst of all of this.
Nikki Minaj gets online
and she posts the date
March 27th, 20206
with an album emoji
just in the midst of all this
so now we're like, wait, okay.
Oh, she started in promo early
that's March 27th,
20206.
Okay.
Yeah, so she just dropped this date
with an album
so we're assuming
that Nikki Minaj music is coming
but yes, that's where we left off
and look,
Cardi B was at Walmart,
she still was able to finish her work day.
Yeah, so we'll see what comes.
What did you say,
Get in the booth, J.T.
She was there.
She got no excuses.
She was at the booth yesterday on Snapchat.
That's what I want to hear.
Cardi gave you a verse.
I want to hear bars, J.T.
That's going to be nasty.
J.T. can rap.
That's what I'm saying.
Listen, am I the drama?
Is staring some stuff.
It's the drama.
It's what's up, though.
Like, this is what it's supposed to do.
Yeah, but you think about body, right?
Body goes on live all day long.
So she held this for months, probably years in some situation,
just for the album.
Which is smart.
Which is smart.
That's, that's, that's, that's,
That's what we used to.
She wouldn't even give us names when she was here.
You put it right in the music.
Yes.
And JT should be ready.
JT should be like, oh, you rapping?
Okay.
I want to rap too.
I don't want to hear all the rants in the lives and the tweets.
No, I want to hear JT rap.
JT. Raps.
I want to hear rap.
Well, when it happens, we'll be talking about it right here during the latest.
Will it hit the same, though?
What?
Happy ass.
Yeah, after you didn't do a rant?
Because now what can you say?
Absolutely.
No, no, no.
It's still, they've been off and on since,
2018, it's a lot.
They're going to have to do a lot of calling around to get some information.
Yes, they better, I'm assuming she's going to have some stuff she doesn't say here.
First of all, you say they've been off and on since how long?
2018.
I've never heard this much discussion about it until Cardi did a verse.
Don't get me wrong, Cardi and JT had a couple of good tweets back in there because it was funny as hell.
I can't remember what the jokes were.
Oh, do you call a prison pants?
Somebody got called prison pants.
I know that much.
Somebody I don't know somebody called somebody prison pants.
That's right.
Yeah, it comes and goes.
It hit with a.
verse.
Yeah.
Her going at
JT.
Her going at
her going at all
those individuals.
Give me a verse,
J.T.
Was a verse.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
All right.
Well, that is the latest
with Lauren.
Now, Shalaman,
who are you giving that
donkey too?
Speaking of prison pants.
Oh, boy.
Marina Gonaaga
needs to come to the
front of the congregation
because she was in jail
for something.
And we'll discuss.
All right.
We'll get to that next
so don't go anywhere
as the breakfast club.
Good morning.
Some donkey the day's
some donkey the days just saw
themselves.
Haven't watch you,
Charlie today.
I was ready.
I never heard
They, what is it?
Say it again, Shaillamay.
I'm a donkey.
Yes, you are a dumb.
I'll show you how to ask a donkey.
Everything that Charlotte named is true.
Yes, donkey today for Wednesday, September 24th, goes to a 63-year-old Florida woman named Marina Gonaga.
Now, what does your uncle, Shala, always tell you about the great state of Florida?
Say it with me.
They're craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida, and today is no exception.
Even though I'm not going to lie.
Okay, Marina did something that I always tell y'all to do.
I always tell y'all to do your prison math.
Okay, do your jail math.
Before you do something, before you jump out the window and commit a crime,
always ask yourself, how much is this going to cost you?
Okay, everything from bond to lawyer and especially the time if you're sentenced.
Can you afford to do what it is you're about to do?
Now, some people just move off emotion and they just act.
Okay, they just go.
But some people move off strategy.
They ask questions.
They plan things out.
Those are the people that I respect.
Those are the people that are truly dangerous.
You know how in the comic book world, we say Batman can beat anyone with prep time.
That's how I feel about people who prep before they do a crime and calculate the prison math in their head.
Okay, they calculate the jail math in their head.
See, there is a part of me who respects what Marina did even though she's dead wrong.
Okay?
Well, damn it, Uncle Charlotte, the suspense is killing me.
Well, you tell me what she did already.
Well, according to an arrest of affidavit obtained by law and crime,
an officer was dispatched to an undisclosed location to respond to an argument between two people regarding stolen property.
Okay, when the cops got there, Marina told them she came to the location to retrieve stolen shoes
from a 72-year-old, an unidentified woman.
And at some point during the encounter, Marina allegedly turned to her officer and asked them in Spanish,
how much would
DeBan be if I smacked her?
See?
This is Batman prepping.
Once again, she turned to the officer
and asked the officer,
how much would DeBan be if I smacked her?
Now, it doesn't say what the officer responded,
but Marina must have thought she could afford it
because she walked up to the 73-year-old
and proceeded to smack him in the face.
Okay.
See, one thing about me,
I respect everybody's choices.
I may not agree with the choice you make, but I respect when someone makes a calculated choice.
Because when you choose to do something, then to me, you have also chosen the consequences of what comes with that choice.
Marina did her dirt in front of the police.
She even asked the officer, how much would the bond be if I smacked her?
And then she went and handled her business.
So that means she got to handle these consequences, okay?
The same way.
Now, what I don't respect is that the person she smacked was 72.
Now 72, not the same 72 it used to be.
A lot of these 72-year-olds got that elder scrimp,
they will put you on your ass,
but that is still considered elderly.
And Marina, you're 63, okay?
Even though you can get, you know, discounted meals at IHOP,
there's absolutely no reason for you to be smacking a 72-year-old person in the face
over no damn stolen shoes.
See, I respect you being cold and calculated and making a choice,
but over some damn shoes, I need to know what kind of shoes they were.
Okay, the person was 72, so I know they ain't no heat.
Okay, if they weren't Michael Jordan's 1998, NBA,
final, the Air Jordan 13s, or the Nike Air Yeezy One prototypes?
I don't see the point of the smack, okay, where they did a Nike back to the future
joints, the flu game Jordans, and I'm talking about the ones Michael actually wore in the game.
If not, I don't see what shoes could be worth it between the 63-year-old and the 72-year-old.
Maybe it wasn't the shoes.
Maybe it was the principal.
All I'm saying is when you make decisions like this, at least let it be worth it,
especially when you're already out on bond for resisting arrest and battery on a law enforcement.
officer. Oh, I didn't tell y'all that part.
Oh, damn. Yeah, Marina was out on bond
for resisting arrest and battery
on a law enforcement officer, but that
didn't stop her from doing some
prison math, doing some jail math in her head
and calculating that
smacking this 72-year-old woman was
absolutely worth it. Her bond
was $1,000, but you still have to factor
in, you know, fighting the case.
And something tells me
that she cannot afford an attorney,
but one will be provided for her.
Please let Marina
go Naga, get the sweet side of the hamletones.
Oh, now you are the donkey of the day.
You are the donkey of the day.
Yee-ha.
Always do your jail math, ladies and gentlemen.
Okay, jail math is probably the easiest math to do nowadays.
I know that math that my kids be bringing home is complicated.
But when you're in a situation, all you've got to do is just think about it.
Is it worth it?
Can I afford to do what it is I'm about to do?
I like the question.
I like that question, though.
How much would I get if I sling?
You know, how much would the bond be if I slated?
You got to calculate a little different.
Yeah, you do.
But that's why she asked anyway.
She's like, ah, you know, because I'm already up in, you know, I'm already in the rear.
You know what I'm saying?
What's another couple of stacks?
if I smack her because, you know, she need to be smacked.
Now, I don't respect her smack in an elderly.
She's elderly, too, but just not on the same elderly level.
Yeah. You know, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Levels to elders.
I mean, listen, she made a calculated decision,
the calculated choice. I get it.
So all I ever ask of y'all is to do your jail math.
Okay.
If you feel like you can afford it, hand to your business.
And the discount in the, and plus.
When you're 55, that's when you get the discount.
Yeah, she's 63.
She's 63.
So she gets those discounts.
I check, just in case.
All right.
Well, that, thank you for that donkey today.
Yes, indeed.
Now, let me ask you a guy something, right?
800, 585-105-1.
So a week ago, I flew the grease for my daughter's engagement.
Me and my wife was flying out.
I don't know, man.
The way are you talking, it seemed like it was your engagement too.
No, shut up.
Fly it out.
We fly in first class, right?
It's a 10-hour flight.
My wife's seat was broken.
So they couldn't use that first-class seat.
The flight was packed.
The only seats available in coach.
What are you doing that situation?
Now mind you, I'm six foot, I'm tall.
My wife's five, seven.
She's short, so she can handle that coach seat better than I can.
800585.
Yeah, all right.
So what did you do?
Because ain't no way, I don't care.
My husband is six three.
Your husband's six three.
So you're going to let your husband sit in the back with his legs open the whole flight for ten hours?
Yeah, like what are you talking about?
I don't want to be back there.
What's wrong with that?
What's wrong with that?
What's wrong with coach?
It's not a matter with coach.
seat. Be humble. It's just coach. Take your
ass back to coach. I'm your wife.
Like majority of working class people in
America. What would you do, Jess?
I would be like, babe, you got to
take that out and sit back there.
You're going to go with them, though. Get up and stretch and stretch your legs.
My seat ain't, well, he,
so it was her seat broke. If my seat broke,
he got to give me a seat. Oh, so
you're not going to ride with him back there for 10 hours?
No. One of the seats broken, not both.
And when you say seat was broke, what does that mean?
You can't go back. You can't. You can't.
Yeah, and it's the pious discretion to see if you
can fly on that seat that seat was you can't recline you can't recline you can't it's disabled so
it's a cover over it and they won't let you sit there well you all you should have to give you
all should have traded seats with uh two people in coach but you don't know they didn't know

institution that doesn't lose faith. And that's what I believe in. To bring you depth and analysis

What do you get when a true crime producer walks into a comedy club?
I know it sounds like the start of a bad joke, but that really was my reality
nine years ago.
I just normally do straight stand-up, but this is a bit different.
different. On stage stood a comedian with a story that no one expected to hear.
The 22nd of July 2015, a 23-year-old man had killed his family.
And then he came to my house.
So what do you get when a true crime producer walks into a comedy club?

Morning, everybody, is DJNV, just hilarious, Charlemagne, the guy.
We are to breakfast club if you're just joining us.
Last week, my daughter got engaged out in Mekino's Greece, and me and my wife flew out there before them, several hours before them.
I'm like seven hours before them so we can get there before them.
And heading to Greece, you know, we had first class tickets.
they were the bed seats say they were the ones that laid down as a bed one of the seats were broken so that
means only one of us have first class right so we couldn't go on a later flight because we had to
beat madison and andrew her fiance out there so we had to be on that flight one seat was broken
what are you do in that situation so my wife was like babe you take the seat you're taller i know
how you are you take the seat i said no she says take the seat babe i'm like no take the seat babe i'm like
no she never said take the seat again so i wound up we we let some
have the first class seat so me and my wife flew 10 hours in the back of the plane
was that you did yeah I did you ain't telling me that part I didn't say the part I told you
that from the beginning of what you should have did but that's what I did so I did that which it was
uncomfortable because you got to sit with your legs over right and you know my wife likes to cuddle so
she's on top me my leg falling asleep my legs is open pause and we I guarantee you the person that
you gave those seats to maybe have never flown first class and they appreciated flying first
class even with a broken seat I'm sure they got food and they got food they got food
All that.
All that.
That's what I.
Me and my wife,
but on the way back,
I called.
I was like,
I want to make sure
that there's no broken seats
on this plane.
How did the airline compensate you?
They get my money back
and everything.
Oh, they did?
Yeah, yeah.
They usually do
for the problem situations like that,
but it's still an inconvenience.
Yeah.
They were going to put us on another flight,
but we couldn't because we had to beat them there,
so it was just a thing,
but it was still cool,
but Jess,
what would you do in that situation?
I'm not.
I'm not.
And maybe the decisions that you guys's wives are making
are based on age that comes with age
and everything,
sitting my ass up in the front.
I'm going to go check on my husband,
bring him whatever he needs to the back,
encourage him to get up and, you know,
get some stretches in.
But he's six for three.
Your husband's six for three.
That's why he needs to lunge and squat
and make sure he stretch when the feet up sign is off.
No?
What about the food and all that?
We can switch sometimes.
All right.
If it's a five,
it's a ten-hour flight.
All right, all right.
I'll go back there for an hour.
A hour?
You got nine?
Yeah.
No, I'm not doing it.
I'm sorry.
Hey, I'm sorry.
No, that's actually happened to me before.
can't remember exactly what it was, but I remember
me and my wife got on a flight
and for whatever reason there was only like
one first class seat, and I
went to go sit back in
economy, and then my wife
gave her seat, her first class seat
to somebody else to sit next to me
in economy. Yeah. Nice. That's what we did.
But 10 hours is a long time. I don't know. It comes
with age. That was a long flight. Oh, okay. Well, it comes
with preference. I think you're selfish, probably. Probably
a little bit. Okay. I don't think that
got nothing to do with age. But listen,
my husband would definitely be like, yo, go, go.
I'm a, I'm a sit back here.
No, he wouldn't.
He'd be like, give me a screwdriver, I can fix this.
All right. He'd be like, give me a screwdriver in a hammer.
I'm a Mexican, I can fix this seat right now.
That's what he would do.
That's what Chris would do.
That's even better.
Shut up.
Ja-ja.
Good morning.
Good morning.
Now, Jaja, what would you do in that situation?
First class, C, it's the bed and lays down.
Your husband, is your husband taller than you?
Yeah, he's tall.
So he's taller than you.
So do you want him to, y'all, y'all both want to suffer together,
or are you going to put him?
in the back to suffer by himself.
Well, I think he should
be in the front. I was in the back, but he loves
me, like you say he loves me, and he would want
to suffer with me in the back.
So you want him to sit back in the back, though?
Because I think it could happen.
You know, like, this is American.
Wait, but what do you think he can happen?
Come on the same plane. Exactly.
What do you think the back is,
the hood? Or y'all some boozy people,
boy.
She said, y'all.
The back to the west side.
Right.
Y'all are some bougy-ass people.
The flight is in the sentence don't treat you as good
The further back you are
Like no
They went to late when I did it
The flight said like
Don't worry honey I got you
Extra soda
I said extra soda
Extra soda
I got the extra soda extra crackers
That's hilarious
Oh my goodness
Hello who's this
This is Brie from the Bronx
Bree from the Bronx
Bree for the Bronx
Brie talk to us
What would you do in that situation
I think what you're saying
Envy is absolutely correct
That if you're going
If you have, you know, room, it's fine that you could sit in coach.
It's nothing wrong with coach.
It's the fact that you're big and stature.
So it's crazy to sit there for 10 hours.
If it ain't that big now.
I'm 6'4 or something.
They're not that big.
There's awesome six free NBA players.
Come on, man.
Cut it out.
Yes, it is.
Thank you.
All right.
Thank you, Bama.
But 800585-105.1.
So we gave up the seat and me and my wife sat in the back.
And it wasn't even like
the two seats or it was four
So it was real tight
When she had to get up
Everybody had to move
To go to the bathroom
But we still did it
See and I respect y'all for that
I love that
But you ain't doing it
No no no
800 585 1051
We had a 10 hour flight
My wife's seat was broken
Would you tell your wife
Hey go in the back
I'll see you in 10 hours
Or would you give up your seat
So y'all both could
Sit in the back
In the tight seat
You know this shit
Chris would be like
Give me a screwdriver
Let's discuss
Jay, good morning.
Hey, Jay, talk to us.
What are you doing in that situation?
DJ, envy, I'm right with you.
I'm six foot three.
I'm not sitting in the back.
It's common courtesy.
Your wife should want you to sit in the back.
When you get off the plane, I ain't going to be able to walk straight.
But you know, I was thinking about even without the lay flag, it's still more room in first class than coach.
So why would you still, why would you move?
Even without the lay flat, it's still more room.
What you mean?
It's still more room in first class than coach.
He said, you like four feet.
Did you hear what I just said?
You just listen to the talk.
Right.
I get what you saying.
Even without the lay flat, it's still more room in first class.
So why would you move?
Yeah, the seat just don't work.
That's what you said.
Yeah, see, it just don't work.
But they wouldn't allow anybody to sit in there, but.
Yeah.
But so.
They wouldn't even let you sit in the seat.
They wouldn't let you sit in the seat.
They wouldn't let nobody sit in that seat.
Now, we tried because I was like, well, can we just sit in that seat,
you know, sit in the back for,
Take off the man, then you just sit there
But now, the pilot said, no, nobody can sit in that street.
I'm next for three.
Yes, Mexico, let Mexico sit in his first class with you.
Or you sit in the back, you're short, he's tall.
Charlaman, you mad short.
Enzy, I'm for a tall with you.
I mean, Mexican's going to get on the wing.
How's it?
What are they doing when they be speaking in?
No, I'm just saying.
What?
Sneak it in.
I'm saying.
Like, Jess husband's a little different.
Chris could find anywhere to fit on the plate.
Yeah.
I'm saying.
Hello, who's this?
This is Angel from the east side of Detroit.
Angel, what I'm doing, Angel? What's you doing, Angel?
You're letting your husband ride first class, or are you making him coming to back with you?
He's riding first class.
His feet not broke my idea.
He can make that up to me later.
Okay.
I love her.
Okay.
So even if it's a 10-hour flight, you're going to sit back there by yourself?
I sit there by myself, yes.
Okay.
And you're not going to get mad when y'all land?
No.
He goes to talk about him and stuff later, but no, my husband's going to ride in his seat.
Okay.
Thank you, Mama.
I love that.
Hello, who's this?
This is from Detroit.
And what up, Do?
Hey, what up, though?
Look, check it out, Envy.
Yes, sir.
You should have took it to the back.
You've been in small places before.
You've been in the doghouse before.
I am.
I did take it to the back, though.
I don't know if you heard what I said.
I said, I actually, we gave up our seat,
and me and my wife sat in the back.
It did take it to the back.
Oh, oh.
Hey, but look, no, envy, it shouldn't have been on negotiation.
Hey, we got to negotiate sometimes.
But now, I was, we were going to give up the seat.
You know,
I wasn't going to fly 10 hours.
It was a special occasion.
I was going to give that.
He took it in the back for 10 hours.
I did not take it in the back for 10 hours.
Giving up seats, taking it to the back.
Damn, grease was wild.
Grease was wild.
A lot of grease.
Hello, who's this?
Good morning.
Hey, good morning.
What would you do in that situation, Mama?
Would you tell your husband, look, you can sit in the front,
your 6 foot plus, I'll sit in the back.
What would you do in that situation?
Well, I would suggest that we, um,
bless someone else
and both go to the back
and let somebody get an upgrade on Envy.
That's what we said.
But that's what you said y'all did.
That was my first thought.
We let somebody sitting in the seat
and me and my wife sat in the back
and the coach.
There you go, Envy.
That's it.
Goodhart and you'll get it back.
That's right.
You're right.
Thank you, Mama.
But I ain't going to lie.
My wife would have said one more time.
Babe, no, you go sit in the front.
I would have listened.
That boy would have been third time.
You ain't learned from Theo and Cockroach.
When they was arguing about going in the dance fever
Okay, you better say what you want
Yep
All right, what's the moment of this story?
He was mad at the day.
He was madder.
But yeah.
Yeah, I feel bad for Chris
because Chris is six foot three, six foot six.
Jess would have had him sitting in the back of the plane
with his legs open while just his five-foot-five ass would have been in the front.
To each his own.
Damn it, man.
And I'm five-foot-two.
Five-five-to-two.
Yes.
Jesus Christ.
He would want, he would want me to do that.
He would want me, you know what, babe, go ahead.
go ahead because I love you
I don't know if I believe that I'm here for you
all right well we got the latest with Lauren coming up
so don't move is the breakfast club good morning
Lauren you're coming straight back
she gets into somebody that knows
somebody she gets to detail
I'm the home girl that knows a little bit about everything
she'd be having the latest
on the latest with Lauren La Rosa
Sometimes she has facts sometimes you have details
Sometimes she have a little bit everything
What's the latest? On the breakfast club
Talk to me
So there is a video circulating from an NBA Young Boy concert that went down in Kansas City.
Now, NBA Young Boys concert or tour has been happening for some time.
It's been going viral because the crowd, you know, the NBA Young Boy fans go hard for him.
But at this specific concert in Kansas City, at the Timor Bowl arena, there was an elderly man in the video that is seeing being attacked by a younger guy, like a really younger guy.
Elderly man was at the show?
The elderly man was working at the arena.
He was a security, right?
Yeah, he was security.
They have a different name for him.
It's like a, I'll get the name, but basically he was security, yes.
Now, reportedly, a onlooker, and the person who recorded the video says that the incident went down or happened over a seating dispute.
But the elderly men who says that he suffered, it was not life-threatening injuries, but there were injuries to his face.
He spoke out.
He's spoken out now to Fox for a local there.
Let's take a listen to him.
No audio.
Yes, we do.
We literally just cut it.
You know you work?
Well, in the interview with...
Worst production team in the business.
In the interview with Fox 4,
the elderly man basically says that even though this happened,
he does believe that the concerts should still go on.
He does believe that the concert should still go on.
And he also says that, you know,
he suffered injuries to his face.
So there was something that went on with his nose.
And I did reach out to police
because he also mentions the fact that that police had to get involved.
So we do have maybe a young boy now?
I mean, he is serious.
that I went down and had blows to my head.
That is 66-year-old Thomas Slangley
describing the moments he's thrown on his back
and repeatedly punched over and over again.
And the only thing on his mind...
Just getting him off, getting him off me.
Because he was so enraged, you know.
So we were just...
We were, in essence, trying to protect the fans.
Did you ever think that you would be in a situation
where you were so desperate,
feeling as though you're fighting for your life?
Yes.
No.
As young adults or people growing into adulthood, we need to learn how to control our anger.
He's absolutely right, but has he not seen the video footage of the NBA Young Boy concerts?
Does he know who NBA Young Boy is?
Yeah, but I mean...
Where was the rest of the security guards?
Why was he alone?
I don't know, because in that video, people from the stands had to help get the boy off of him.
There was no other guard.
But he also didn't have time to, like, call a guard.
Well, if you ever been to a lot of those shows, a lot of time, they're just regular...
They're not real bouncer security.
guards. They're just people that just
work at the venue that just tell people where to sit.
He's considered guest services. Well, they need to be for an
NBA-Y-N show. Okay.
Yeah, well, so I spoke to
Kansas City Police trying to get some
updates on what, because I wanted to confirm
what reports are that it happened over a seating dispute.
They would not disclose that, but all they told me
was that the juvenile mail was detained
and then released. He was detained
that same evening. He was
released after to his guardian
and it's pending further investigation, but
they are working with the prosecutors that are determined
if and what charges will be
pressed and then it will move forward from them.
I will say, though, NBA young boys had a
string of successful ass
sold out of a reason or whatever he's doing
and I haven't heard about nothing. No incidents.
This is the first incident I've heard about. Yes,
and that's what I mean by like the energy is
insane, but I haven't heard of incidents at all
but yeah, they are young. I actually was,
we were talking about it. I want to, I want to go
to the concert. I actually went to as well.
Yeah, just because of what the energy in the crowd
gives while there. But, yeah, y'all be
y'all definitely will be aunties at that show.
Oh, baby. I'd be acting like a hundred to be put up.
I need to be in the suite.
I need to be, yeah, I'm going to be, I want to give auntie.
I'm going to come in with boots, glasses, the whole thing.
I'm fine with being auntie there.
I know, right?
Please call me and I'm there.
Here he go, but he didn't want me to take him, yeah.
Who he want to go with?
A couple of his homeboys.
You crazy if you let him?
No, I didn't say I was going to let him.
It really hasn't, I haven't heard no incidents at that show.
I don't care if it's in be a young boy or his, whatever.
I'm taking him.
And he only 14?
13.
Oh, yeah.
But I told him, I was like, I want to go to you.
and he was like, nah, I'm gonna just ask my dad or Chris.
Like, but it's like, why you don't want to go?
So that auntie energy definitely gives me, happy with me.
Yes, but I want to go.
I heard just like, Tiana Taylor directed it.
Yeah, she's like creative director.
Yeah, that was videos going viral.
Yeah, the first couple, uh, tour styles of her
in the, not in the crowd, but like on the riser where like all the direction stuff
happens.
Yes.
Uh-huh.
That's one of the reasons that I wanted to go because I wanted to see all the, I know the visuals
are probably going to be crazy on the stage.
But to be fair, also.
I did reach out to NBA Young
Boy's attorney, Drew Finland, just to
see if there was anything, you know,
because this does look crazy on him,
even though it's not his fault. But they haven't gotten
back to me as well. So if there's any update, I will let you guys know.
Now, in other news,
Kamala Harris sat down with the view
yesterday, which is a moment. I think
everybody's been waiting for because,
you know, there has been news about her book
107 days out, and she addresses the moment
on the view where she does not separate
herself from Biden, which a lot of people
think adds to why she lost the election. And they talk about it. Let's take a listen to Kamala Harris
on The View. People wanted to know there was a difference between me and President Biden. I thought
it was obvious. And I didn't want to offer a difference in a way that would be received or suggested
to be a criticism. And, and, you know, in the campaign, full time I was pointing out the
differences. My theory of the case was we need to bring costs down. We're going to extend the child
tax credit. We're going to have Medicare cover home health care for people, including people in
the sandwich generation who are raising young children and taking care of their parents. It was
about we're going to take on price gouging, bringing down costs. And I thought I was making
the point. And I realize now that I didn't fully appreciate that how much of an issue it was.
I mean, that moment was definitely one of the reasons that she lost.
And it's not just because of that one singular moment on the view is how conservative media and Trump pack ads took it and ran it over and over and over again, especially being Joe Biden was so trash and unpopular to people.
It was just that simple.
The fact that she said she would change nothing.
Yes.
If somebody's considered that unpopular, according to Poland, and people have a feeling towards him like he's trashed.
And yes, you got to say you got to separate yourself from that.
She was trying to stay loyal and hurt her.
Yes, very much.
Great read, though.
I'm telling you.
I thoroughly enjoyed 107 days.
I want to do.
I just hate the fact, as I'm watching these interviews, I keep reiterated this, but I hate
the fact that she has to do certain things.
Like, the fact that she had to just think that people would assume that she was different
to Biden instead of being able to just say it.
I hate that she had to do that.
First of all, but why wouldn't you?
You're campaigning.
That's your job to tell people how different you are.
But that's why I hate it because the reason why she couldn't do it is all of the things.
She was going to be disloyal.
She was going to be not.
knowing her place.
There was so many things
that would have threw at her.
She could have done it.
He was so unpopular, though.
He was so unpopular.
Nobody wanted to ride that train.
All she had to say was,
I'm going to do things totally different.
It was all the choice.
She chose not to.
So the only thing she could do now is reflect.
Okay, she chose not to.
She also, in wrapping up,
I know we got to get out of here.
She also reflected on like just finding out
like the day that she didn't win the election
and she compared the grief to losing her mom.
Can we play that as we exit or we have time?
That chapter in the book
was probably one of the most difficult things.
that I had to reflect on and write about.
Doug and I, my husband,
it wasn't until I was writing that chapter
that we had ever talked about election night.
And that's when Doug told me
that he had been out campaigning
with my brother-in-law in Pennsylvania.
On his way back from a rally,
they talked with a mutual friend of ours
who was over at Fox News in the war room
who had been hearing about data
that suggested things were not looking great
in Pennsylvania.
So he didn't want to
put that on me. He went upstairs and he basically went in the shower and prayed that it was
not going to be a bad night. But that night, I grieved in a way that I have not since my mother
died. The pain was, it was not at all about losing a race. I knew what it was going to mean
for the country. I was going to say for the family. And that's what, and that's how I felt for the
country. Just imagine being out there doing the electric slide all that time with all the HBCU people.
And then having to walk out of there
And everybody was somber
We were there
But hey, imagine God sending Doug's prayer
To his fan folder
She said Doug went to the prayer
God ain't listening to Doug
But he said Doug was his shower to pray
And God was like, man
I got press more pressing issues
Okay
Damn
She needed the black side to pray
On the way out
This is all nice

She'll be 24 next month.
So her and her boyfriend,
Andrew, are engaged.
I'm so happy for them.
Congratulations.
I can't wait for everything that's in store for all of them.
Did you tell them about how you screamed out yes when he asked before she did?
No, that's not true.
Okay.
That is not true at all.
But you were crying.
You were very happy.
I was tearing up.
I was tearing up a little bit.
You cried.
Okay.
All right.
I cried.
So what?
You know what I was thinking about where you got all that money, though?
Because I remember when he tried to take you to a game and couldn't afford good seats.
Now all of a sudden, he can afford trips to Greece.
He was in college.
He got a good job.
He's a job.
He's out two years.
He does well for a job.
And that was two years ago?
Two years ago.
Damn, boy, time you're flying.
Lord have mercy. Well, congratulations
the young game. Absolutely. It's time to get up out of here.
Yep, real quick before we do.

All right. Shalerman, you got a positive note.
Yes, I do, man. And it's simple. I want to talk
you about perseverance, okay?
People think that perseverance is like
this long race.
No, perseverance is many
short races one after
another. And you're going to need it,

It is hard work. Perseverance.
