Good morning, DJ NV and Charlemagne the guy. Peace out. Good morning. Now, tonight in NFL, the Panthers take on the Bears at 815 Amazon Prime Video.

Have you watched the game on Amazon Prime yet, Charlemagne? No, I have not watched the game on Amazon Prime yet, but that's only because my Cowboys have yet to play on Amazon Prime. But as soon as we play on a Thursday night on Amazon Prime, I shall be watching. Lauren, you don't watch football, do you? I watched it last Sunday. Who did you watch? The Cowboys and the Eagles.

Okay. Who won? The Cowboys. You didn't watch the whole game? No, the Eagles won. I was eating crabs. I wasn't really paying attention. It was just on.

It was just on? My family had it on. Okay. We got a couple Thursday night games coming up, though. We play the Redskins on a Thursday night, and we play Seattle on a Thursday night. Actually, that one will be on Prime Video. Okay. Yeah, the one against Seattle will be on Prime Video.

Well, let's get to the Republican debate recap last night. Yeah, a lot to unpack. I wish I could unpack it all, but Senator Tim Scott, he led with about 19 minutes of speaking time. So he spoke the most. Former Governor Chris Christie had the least amount of speaking time, around 16 minutes. I'm going to give you guys a few highlights. There were so many. Vivek Ramasamy and Nikki Haley clearly went back and forth all night. She was clearly seen as somebody that folks, you know, or at least he wanted to take down because she's rising in the polls first he said she was dick cheney in three inch heels and nikki responded that no actually they're five inches and she do and she does not wear

him as a fashion statement but as ammunition but then they continue to go back and forth about a disagreement about tiktok uh he mentioned her daughter and she wasn't having it. Let's take a listen. How do you get to talk band if you use it? Well, I wanna laugh at why Nikki Haley didn't answer your question, which is about looking at families in the eye. In the last debate, she made fun of me for actually joining TikTok while her own daughter was actually using the app for a long time. So you might wanna take care of your family first. Leave my daughter out of your voice.

The next generation of Americans are using it. And that's actually the point. You have her supporters propping her up. That's fine. Here's the truth. The easy answer is actually to say that we're just going to ban one app. We got to go further. Leave my daughter out of your voice. You're just scum. You're just scum. You're just scum. She said leave my daughter out of your voice. Not your mouth. Not on your voice. I think she meant mouth, but that's what came up. She was mad. She was mad. She was pissed. She was hot. That's how you know she from South Carolina. You're going to get close to her.

I may not say mouth, but you know what I mean. You know what I mean. Leave my daughter out of your voice. Folks saw that completely unnecessary. But then there was two different opinions on abortion speaking of south carolina i want you to hear a nikki haley's position compared to tim scott's position and as we know when we covered the election results yesterday that abortion uh was definitely they're looking at that as a litmus test and so republicans are still trying to figure out where they stand on

the issue and i want you to hear these two different opinions post row a wrong was made right they took it out of the hands of unelected justices and they put it in the hands of the people. And now we're seeing states vote. And what I'll tell you is as much as I'm pro-life, I don't judge anyone for being pro-choice and I don't want them to judge me for being pro-life. So when we're looking at this, there are some states that are going more on the pro-life side.

I welcome that. There are some states that are going more on the pro-choice side. I wish that wasn't the case, but the people decided. But when it comes to the federal law, which is what's being debated here, be honest. It's going to take 60 Senate votes, a majority of the House, and a president to sign it. So no, we haven't had 60 Senate votes in over 100 years. We might have 45 pro-life senators. So no Republican president can ban abortions any more than a Democrat president can ban these state laws. So let's find consensus. I would certainly as president of the United States have a 15 week national limit. I would not allow states like

California, Illinois, or New York to have abortion up until the day of birth. So yeah, abortion was an issue. There was also a lot discussed on foreign policy. We know Nikki Haley is a former United Nations ambassador, so she had a lot to say about that. Her and DeSantis went back and forth with China. I urge everybody to go listen to that. I wish I could cover it all.

But what I found interesting is at the end, I watched it on CNN, they've been polling these Iowa voters, the same voters after each debate this was the third one and you can literally see how they switched their position and a lot of they had to do with where trump stands you know in his criminal charges last night they said that hayley came in first the santas was a strong second they see the race between these two but what i find interesting guys is no one wants to believe the polls when it comes to joe biden you know they say don't believe the is no one wants to believe the polls when it comes to Joe Biden. You know, they say don't believe the polls, but everybody wants to believe the polls when it comes to Trump. And I think if folks are going to throw polls out the window, then don't assume that Donald Trump will be the nominee. The voters in the room said that they would love to vote for Donald Trump, but they would not vote for him to be the nominee because of his criminal charges.

So this race could very well be Joe Biden or whoever the Democrats select as their nominee against DeSantis or Nikki Haley. And so that is the larger question that I think folks are missing. They're just assuming it's going to be Trump. And he still has to become the nominee before folks are saying who's the best person to run against Trump. That's very true. The abortion conversation was interesting, too, because it felt like, you know, Nikki Haley refused to commit to any specific abortion ban. And I'm pretty sure that's because abortion is kicking their ass at the polls. That's right. And that's not going to fly.

Because, you know, stripping away people's rights to do anything is not going to fly because you may not care about, you know, folks, people's right to get an abortion being stripped away. But it won't stop at abortion. I'm not supporting anyone who is for taking people's rights to do anything away because it starts it starts it starts at abortion but it ain't gonna stop there yeah i think she was pretty strong on her position because she said she's not she said it's you can't ban it so let the states decide she was to me i heard her being very clear about being pro-life but she said she's not gonna sell this dream that the federal government can do anything about it because they don't have the votes to do anything about it. So what's the point of standing up there saying we need to ban it, knowing good and well you can't? And that was Tim Scott's position.

Yeah, she said she would only sign a bill that can get through Congress. Right. And she knows it can't. So, you know, so, yes, kicking ass at the polls. So Republicans got to figure it out. I just want people to remember, don't assume that trump will be the nominee because these voters are changing their position on trump so whoever biden has to be prepared to run against the santas or possibly nikki hailey all right well that is front page news now get it off your chest 800-585-1051 again 800-585-1051

alone in the ocean. He had lost his mother, trying to reach Florida from Cuba. He looked like a little angel. I mean, he looked so fresh. And his name, Elian Gonzalez, will make headlines everywhere. Elian Gonzalez. Elian, Elian. Elian, Elian.

Elian Gonzalez. At the heart of the story is a young boy and the question of who he belongs with. His father in Cuba. Mr. Gonzalez wanted to go home and he wanted to take his son with him.. His father in Cuba. Mr. González wanted to go home and he wanted to take his son with him. Or his relatives in Miami. Imagine that your mother died trying to get you to freedom.

At the heart of it all is still this painful family separation. Something that as a Cuban, I know all too well. Listen to Chess Piece, the Elian González story, as part of the My Cultura podcast network, available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Morning, everybody.

It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Lauren LaRosa's here. She's our guest co-host today. And let's get to the rumors. Lauren LaRosa. I've She's our guest co-host today. And let's get to the rumors. Lauren LaRosa. I've been here for a little bit. I've been here for a minute.

Move out the way. Tell us. Tell us. Man, this is the rumor report. I think a lot of people will recognize the voice in the name. On the Breakfast Club. Lauren came in hot. You know, I came in telling the truth.

So Frank Ocean fans are going crazy right now. He released a snippet of a song. Fans don't know if this means that there'll be new music in 2024 or if he's just giving them something to live for. But their Instagram and Twitter everywhere going up. Let's take a listen to the snippet first. You're a sex and constriction You want action than me But it's not threatened to me I'm dialed in with you and I feel you If you're going out with them Then y'all getting filthy

I've never seen y'all more unimpressed. Sound like a reference track to me. I've never seen y'all more unimpressed. Let me hear it. I am unimpressed. You can't be gone for 10 plus years and give folks snippets. We don't even know if that record is good.

It doesn't sound great from the snippet, but once again, you can't be gone for 10 plus years and just give your fans a snippet sound like a reference track it sounds like he was practicing why put it on instagram then he knows what he is like he's doing because people he he it's been i think he dropped blind what 2016 since blind drop yeah blonde was when 2016 oh and he's done like small stuff since then remember he did coachella coachella was a mess i don't remember blonde being that good i remember channel orange being good and i remember When? 2016. Oh. And he's done like small stuff since then. Remember he did Coachella. Coachella was a mess. I don't remember Blonde being that good.

I remember Channel Orange being good. And I remember the Nostalgia Ultra being good. I don't remember Blonde being that good. I think with Frank Ocean, it just depends on how you're feeling in the moment. What is fans saying? What is fans saying? His fans are excited. They're like, oh my God, the GOAT is back.

New music is coming. Which I also think is crazy too. Because the last time we saw him, they ran him off the stage at Coachella. He said he wasn't coming back week and two because of doctor's advice because of like a foot or ankle injury or something.

That first performance week and one was so horrible. They talked about that boy for like seven days online. After losing his brother, he was like, this is the first time I'm back at Coachella

since losing my brother and they laughed him off the stage because the performance was bad. And then he drops this. Now everybody's showing him so much love. I don't people so fickle yeah i mean i'm not mad that you having uh fans he's clearly got a core fan base you know that that loves his music you know what i mean but to the rest of us he seems overrated overrated is a bit harsh for frank ocean is talented to the rest of us we don't understand the hype i'm not saying he's not

I didn't say it. It don't sound good based off the snippet. It doesn't give me much of anything. It doesn't sound like a finished song to me. I don't understand why he would drop that. He dropped it like it was a swipe-through dump on Instagram.

Now, when we come back, we got front page news. And next hour, Leslie Jones will be joining us. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Morning, everybody.

It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Lauren LaRosa is here. And let's get in some front page news. What up, Tiz? What's going on, DJ Envy? Good morning, Lauren and Charlamagne Tha Guy. Good morning.

Now, the Panthers take on the Bears tonight in NFL. Amazon Prime Video at 815 if you have Amazon Prime. And let's jump right into it. I just heard that the co-captain, the black brother in the Montgomery Riverfront ball was charged. How you charge him? Yeah, you're going to have to help me make this make sense. Yes, guys, the black guy that threw his hat up in the air is now being charged with third degree assault. Take a listen to the report.

Well, more than three months after the Montgomery Riverfront brawl, charges have been filed against the riverboats. Co-captain online court record show Damian Pickett is charged with third degree assault. CNN is reporting that in a new complaint. One of the original defendants, Zachary Shipman, alleges he was not attempting to fight Pickett all during an argument over a dockside parking spot. Shipman says he was only defending himself and suffered a bruised cheekbone after Pickett punched him in the face. That altercation quickly grew to an all-out brawl, all captured on video, igniting a social media firestorm. Shipman was previously charged with assaulting Pickett and is scheduled to go on trial later this month.

He has pled not guilty. Pickett has not yet entered a plea. Montgomery doesn't have self-defense laws? Like, he was clearly being attacked, he clearly was being lynched, so he defended himself, and then Good Samaritans came to his aid. Like, what's the problem here? Yeah, that sounds wild. Yeah, you see how they slid it in three months later though did y'all did y'all notice that you know after all of the conversation was about it everybody was paying attention this is why it's important that we continue to follow these stories because uh if this had happened at the beginning a lot of people would have rallied around this so what basically is happening is

they're saying that one of the guys uh zachary shipman that wasn't the one that hit him first zachary shipman is uh one of the white men that were involved you know when when all whenever everything started happening and shipman is saying that he was defending himself against pigment but to your point charlamagne the fact that that um that the black guy was hit first in the very beginning everything after that should have been self-defense but that's not what they're saying yeah i knew i knew that's how they was going to spin it, though. Can you tell the difference they all looked like when they came at him? Well, and not only that, you're under duress. You know what I mean?

If you feel like you're being jumped, all you're doing is just swinging. You don't know who's coming at you. No, he was being jumped. He was trying to do his job, and numerous white people came up to him, and he just was defending himself. If you're being jumped, you're just swinging. You're just trying to get out of the situation. But I knew that if you watched the video, yeah, there was plenty of people who didn't necessarily hit this person who got hit by somebody else.

But if you don't want no action, don't come over here. Because I'm getting jumped. So anybody who wants that action, I'm thinking it's coming to jump me. Here's the thing, though. Regardless of what the consequences were for what those individuals did, I'm glad they did it. So you just have to deal with whatever comes your way. Yeah, but he shouldn't get charged because now he might lose his job. There's other things that come with being charged and being arrested like that.

Well, you got to flip it on the other side, though, because there's plenty of white people who were swinging on black people who didn't necessarily hit them either. Yeah, but it all started because all he was trying to do was his job. It don't matter. And he didn't do anything. I get what you're saying, but let's— It's different. Those white people started something that didn't need to be started. He was doing his job. A couple of it all started because all he was trying to do was his job and he didn't do anything. I get what you're saying, but... It's different. Those white people started something that didn't need to be started. A couple of white people started something. Not all of them. Yeah, but if you

join in, I'm defending myself. That's not how it works. Yes, it does. No, it doesn't. If you and Lawrence last week and Red comes over here... That's how it should work, but that's not how it works. Forget what you think the law should be. The law is what it is, you know?

But I'm just happy that even with that, I want people to be willing to deal with the consequences of their actions because guess what? Sometimes things like that are going to happen. I'm not going to sit around and watch somebody be attacked. I'm going to get involved. And guess what? If I catch a charge for that, so be it.

Yeah, but he was the one that was being attacked. He was the one that was being charged. But he was the one being attacked. We need to give them a national holiday. I don't care about these charges. All them people look alike, and I hope that his lawyer says it in court. No, he was the one that was being attacked, and if people keep coming up to him, he don't know who's, he thinks that everybody's fighting him. By the way, he's probably going to beat it in court.

I hope so, he does. Yeah, no, we totally agree. I hear what both of you guys are saying. Like, you know uh three six mafia they said take the charge you know so i'm willing to take the charge so but i hear what you're saying envy like why should there be a charge in the first place yeah but this is this is the guy that didn't hit him first but still it's not about who hit it first i'm swinging on everybody but i do want to make sure that i'm driving the point home on how we have to

remember i covered an update on the Montgomery Brawl earlier this week. When folks talk about this and then they just go on to the next thing. The point we also need to see is how they slide this in, you know, three months later after all of the conversation has gone. So as another reminder, Reggie Ray, who is the chairman, that is a black guy to hit everybody with the chair. He will be going for trial on November 16th. So I'll be following that as well. Now, by the way, we knew he was getting charged. We knew that, though. the chair he will be going up for trial on november 16th so i'll be following that as well now by the way we knew he was getting charged we knew that though that brother was mine he was actually working doing his doing his job same thing this man picked up that chair and anybody could get it bottom line it's not the same thing because they

it's the same exact they jumped into the action So did the guy with the chair No The black brother Was doing his job And he was attacked He was assaulted The guy with the chair Took the chair

That did not matter The guy with the chair The guy with the chair Was helping the brother out This man took that chair No he shouldn't And he started swinging On any white person

That was in the vicinity By the way We watched that video And when we saw that dude Hit that woman with that chair We was like Oh yeah We know that was totally two different things.

No, it's not. It's the same. That woman ain't had nothing to do with him. Right. He just took that chair and started swinging. But the brother was working. He was doing his job. It doesn't matter what led up to it.

No, but they hit him first. They attacked him first. When he threw up his hat, they hit him first. They assaulted him first. The person that he's being charged with hitting is not one of the people who hit him. Right. But once you come in my zone after you're jumping me, am I supposed to be like, wait a minute, did you hit me? And that's the same thing with the person with the chair.

It's a mob at that point. I'm trying to defend myself. The person with the chair was just swinging. No. That's why he got charged. That's totally different. Well, I do want to make a correction on that. The white man is, he is also facing assault charges as well.

So, but it was who hit who first basically charging everybody all all charges matter they're just going across the board and saying everybody everybody gonna get something the white man the black man everybody you know that they basically just going across to go across the board so yeah the white man and his girlfriend were charged but he was not the one that hit him first the one that had you know that made him throw the hat up it was another white guy that started it. I'm sure it'll all get worked out in court.

Nine times out of ten, all this stuff will get thrown out. Or lessened. Not the guy with the chair, though. He's going to get something. He's going to get permission. We'll spark a good conversation. We'll give you more tomorrow. Alright, when we come back, Leslie F. Jones will be joining us.

Leslie Jones, she has a new book, Leslie F. Jones. We're going to talk to her when we come back, so don. Jones will be joining us. Leslie Jones, she has a new book, Leslie F. Jones. We're going to talk to her when we come back, so don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Come on. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. Leslie f***ing Jones. Leslie Jones, ladies and gentlemen.

Welcome. Good morning. Hello. Hello. How are you feeling today? I'm good. I was looking for Jess, you know. She Welcome. Good morning. Hello. Hello. Hello. How you feeling today? I'm good. I was looking for Jess, you know. She got shows in Detroit this week. She in Detroit. I thought she was going to be here so I can kiki. That's my girl.

You met her, Jess, before? Oh, are you kidding me? Yes. And she is so funny. I got to say that. She's one of my favorite people on Instagram. I love her shit. She always makes me laugh.

So funny. What kind of jewels do you give the young female standups like Jess? Well, Jess, she don't need no, she, she gets it. Like this is the one thing I love about Jess though,

is that she's confident enough to be like very sexy and still do comedy. See, when I was coming up, it was just a rule. Just, you know, okay, I'll put it like this.

Women comedians have to go through a certain thing. Like if I dress sexy and walk on stage for five minutes, I'm not going to be heard because when I walk on stage, the first thing is you're going to get

the women going, does she think she cute? And then they're going to look at their man and be like, oh, does he think, does he want to f*** her?

And then you got the man. So that's five minutes of going away. Like, all that happens. Gotcha. So I used to just do the t-shirt,

jeans, tennis shoe so you could pay attention to me. But the thing I like about her is that she don't give a f***. Like, she gonna go up there, and she gonna do her fun, and she gonna do her. And I like that. What I always give young women is to, you don't have to prove that you're a woman. Like, Jess does go on stage and do, but she doesn't have to prove she's a woman. Like a lot of female comics,

right? Like period jokes or this jokes. If you can make them funny, that's different. Just be yourself. That's real. You know? Um,

yeah, yeah. That's what I would do. I was just like, always keep writing. Don't stay on the same thing. You should refresh your set a lot. You should always be writing new jokes.

And anything that you think is funny is definitely something you should go on stage and try. What advice would you give her about having a permanent gig on top of the stand up? Like, you know, just say a daily show or a daily radio show. You mean like this show? Like the breakfast club? Like the one that she should be here for now? That one? Yeah.

I would say to keep doing what she's doing okay because see to me jess is gonna bring you numbers jess is gonna bring you a whole different and no no y'all but y'all i'm in y'all i agree and y'all don't know about bitches trust me i listen to you you're right you don't know nothing about nothing not a thing you're right and and to me when jess is on here she really be like you know doing her thing you know i really like her responses she's not scared of y'all so i would tell her to continue because she one thing i like about her i bet she gets the numbers because she continuously put that content out i bet you she gets the numbers that's somebody y'all need on

here she's a culture shift yeah. Yeah, you really do. You really do need to bring some youth to this room. I'm not, like again, I'm not insulting you. Yes, you are. But I'm not insulting you. But you're not lying. But I ain't lying. But you're not lying. Bring some of that new culture into this shit.

Because this is the Breakfast Club. Y'all been here for a while. And you should be here for some more time. But the only way to do that is to continue to roll with the f***ing change. You know what I'm saying? And y'all need a bitch in here. This is the first time you've been up here. Right?

This is the first time Leslie's been up here. Yep. Because I was like, if she wasn't there, I'd come take this motherf***er. Because y'all sitting in here would have thrown this f*** off. You're not going to have time. You're going to be doing the daily show. Oh, you think so? Thank you.

Yeah. Yo, first of all, I have to say thank you so much for coming on there. That was one of the best segments I ever done. Thank you for having me. I still get people asking me about it. I love that you came on there. It was very vulnerable. It was just wonderful.

Thank you very much. You made me a fan of you that day. Seriously. Thank you very much. Real talk. I actually heard you talking about it afterwards on your podcast, too. And I was like, oh, wow. It was really awesome.

Me and Lenny was just like, he was so f***ing great. like he's just really good thank you and a lot of people asked me about that it was like yeah and i was like yeah man that what he said was true like you said some really good thank you i want to start from the beginning from leslie jones if you don't know how did you get into comedy what what made to say this is what i want to do as a kid or as i never thought i was a comedian i never thought i was a comedian until someone entered me into a contest i just thought i was silly he was getting invited to a lot of stuff and just didn't understand why and people like to hang out with me and one day my friend was like yo bitch because you are stupid like you're really funny and then when she signed me up she signed me up for a contest at college it was a funniest person on campus. What school? Colorado State. Okay.

And I was on a scholarship in basketball there. And she came and told me, she was like, yo, I signed you up for this contest. And I got mad, but I wasn't really mad because I was like, ooh, well, let's try it. As soon as I touched the mic, I tell everybody they think I'm lying, but it was literally like I saw. It's like I had been doing it forever. It's like I saw myself, like there was nothing, there was no option of me doing anything else. I was just like a light that went on and a line that went straight. And how did you start preparing after that?

So now you want to do comedy, right? But it's like anything else. You know, most people that go on stage and think they can do comedy and then they fail because they don't know sets. They don't know time. They don't know delivery. So when did you start studying and say, this is what I want to do? And who did you study? Well, first of all, what I realized is that I was already studying.

Like my dad had every comedy because he was DJ. So I was already into Pigfoot and Millie Jackson and, you know, Moms May. I already knew about all that stuff. I had already had the knowledge of it. As far as, like, knowing what I was supposed to do on stage, I still was in that mode of, like, well, I want to be like Eddie Murphy. I want to be like Whoopi Goldberg. I want to be like Richard Pryor. But what I didn't understand is that they are who they are.

That's the reason they do the comedy that they're doing. I'm going to have to find out who I am. I learned that from Jamie. So, you know, when I saw Jamie Foxx. So, because he was, I think it was the. So, you know, when I... Jamie Foxx? Jamie Foxx, yeah. So, because he was... I think it was the second time or maybe third time I performed. And I...

I bombed like a... But when he came on stage, it was like, holy... He performs just like Richard Pryor and all that. Like, this is crazy. So it made me go, okay, what is this formula? What is this?

And then when I talked to him, he was just like you're young you don't really have nothing to talk about go out and live go out and discover life get fired get hired get get your heart broke break some hearts just go through life so you can start have something to talk about because right now you're trying to do jokes and you're not mature enough to do the jokes that you're doing and you're not funny enough to do the jokes that you're doing and you don't have to talk about so you know that's what i did i went out and lived i went out and lived and he was right because by the time i came back i had to talk about i tell you like this i have

been doing comedy for three years and i thought i was because i was i was killing that and i went up to jay anthony brown i was like yeah jay when the f**k i'm gonna start seeing the fruits of my labor like when i'm when i'm gonna blow up it was like 10 years i remember bust i went i went home and cried because i was like 10 because this is the thing it wasn't that i said in my head no f**k him you know because i wasn't that type of comic i was a very much like when i started comedy i prayed to god i said listen i want to be a good comic if i'm not gonna be a good comic just let me be a promoter or something because i don't want to do comedy wrong so when he said the 10 years i it was it was not me going oh no that's you saying and then no it was me taking it in from a veteran telling me like damn

i'm not gonna know myself until 10 years because he literally asked me one day he said what do you do during the daytime and i was like i do a lot of stuff he's like well from your set it sounds like only thing you do is and smoke weed and watch game shows so he was like that's all we get from it i was like nah that's that that's the 10 year thing because see first three years you learn how to be on stage it's just think of yourself as a toddler the first year you're walking around you're doing jokes you're doing jokes you're doing all the dumb jokes the second year you may have graduated a little bit but you're still doing sex jokes sex jokes is whenever you're seeing people doing sex jokes unless they're just veterans and they got sex jokes it's an easy thing to go into it's just

it's like low-hanging fruit so those first three or four years you're really just deciding who you want to be as a comic or whatever five years is when you start getting your gigs you got a set but after you get eighth year ninth year that's when you start getting your gigs. You got a set. But after you get eighth year, ninth year, that's when you start getting the big gigs. Ten years. Ten years is when you get tired of your set. Ten years is when you go, okay, I got the attention. Now what I want to say. That's when you start talking about yourself.

That's real. That's when you bring them jokes out. Because you're going to be good enough to do it. And by that time, you got at least 20, sets under your belt and you should be and people gotta know the 10 10 year rule there's no way to beat it oh all you who's saying no that bitch don't know what you're talking about i've been in the business since they've all been doing stand-up for damn near 10 years or better andrew's been doing it for 16 exactly just should be right at 10 right right and dc should be right at 10 right now so you're absolutely right yeah yeah yeah and it's just like it's like people

want to beat the system and you're not gonna beat the system put in the f***ing work all right we got more with leslie jones when we come back it's the breakfast club good morning is your country falling apart feeling tired depressed a little bit revolutionary?

But it's the first time I cursed in front of my mom. Because she knew I had a bad mouth. My dad did, too. My dad knew I had a bad mouth. But they was like, no, you respect enough not to curse around. And we was walking to the store. I will never forget this. We were walking to the store.

And I had just went to a parade where they had the German. And I was like, Mom, you should have seen the Majorettes. They were swinging their ass. And my mom was like yo you're not talking to your friend you better watch your mouth girl and asking one of your asses just like you know i was about to get into the you know and all of that and she was like oh what you sound like when you're not around me i was like very bad very bad but uh i think that me and samuel jackson are the. I think we curse at the same.

And you say y'all met each other? Yeah. It was hilarious. And I actually imitated him on SNL. I missed that. Oh, my God. We did Family Feud. Okay.

Yo, let me tell you. It was one of those times where they literally let us just have a little fun. So they wanted me to be Samuel Luel jackson but they was going to put the beard on me and for some reason we didn't have the beard and i just dressed like he like with the uh hat and the leather jacket so and it's like i did look like samuel but didn't i just looked like leslie you know so when he came to me and he was like samuel jackson man we were laughing so hard because ken was, wait a minute now. You don't look like no dancer.

Was he pretending to be Steve Harvey? Yeah, it was so funny. Oh, my God. And all I kept saying is, you can burn in hell. Samuel L. Jackson, something that you bring to a party. Why do I got to bring something? You invited me. That's a stupid-ass question. and i hope you burn in hell it was just like really really fun but yeah when i finally met him yeah it was just like so funny but i think he cursed less when he met me because i i don't curse i gotta ask so you talked about you remember bombing so i always ask comedians when they come

up you remember your worst show and your best show i can name 10 straight that is probably the same type of words let me see uh i fell off the stage no man but that wasn't my worst show i fell off the stage and got right back up and was like i I'm a stuntman too and kept ripping. But you're talking about like a bomb. Like I remember Kevin Hart came up here one time and talked about the time where

they threw a chicken wing at him. Charles Oakley threw a chicken wing at him, right? That was one of his worst shows. So what was like that one show that's always in your mind and been like,

that **** in venue? I would say Riddles maybe in Chicago was always kind of a hard room to do. What happened to Riddles? Riddles, D-Ray used to host it what happened today i think that's

when i fell off the chair i stood up on a chair and then fell off the chair but no i still ripped i could just tell you funny like i got introduced in in omaha at this poetry poetry show and this was so hilarious like i was you know and i was beautiful like young long hair on the road and you know dudes be trying to talk to you and especially the ones that you want to talk to so i remember this rasta dude was trying to talk to me he was fine looked like bob marley i was like oh you're definitely going to the hotel room with me so i'm talking to him and then dude's like i'm about to introduce you right and i had on these clunky ass sandals or something and he introduced me and man i came down that step and somersault no man why are you falling i rolled rolled right into in front of the

uh thing and jumped back up i was like yeah that's how i come on stage that's how i come on stage man i looked over and the roster was paying his bill to leave i said what about the best show so the best show leave. I said, you, you, you, what about the best show? So the best show, what was the most amazing show that you still love? I just can't. Okay. It's just too many.

I would say one of my favorite ones is when I went to grand Rapids, Michigan, and, they had a whole section that was death and they had the girl doing the death. Yeah, they were deaf and she was signing. So, you know, I have a dirty show and I was like how you say so she was like doing it so I was like and then she got really tired and I was like ain't that

something the white girl got tired of sucking. Ain't that something? Man. Grand rappers, they were on fire. There's so many good shows. I mean, when I was on tour with Cat. Yeah. Like so many. Oh, my God. I have to tell the story.

Because I know Cat remember this. Okay, so it was the beginning of the fucking tour. We was in Chicago. I remember this. So it was the New Year show. So we went out performing. Cat was late. So to go out and you know keep performing or whatever so when cat got there you know cat is cat so this dude was waiting with a fur coat like this beautiful black fur coat so he was like cat i want you to wear it on set i want you wearing on stage so i was like yeah so

you put the coat on and he went out and you know people lost and they was already mad that he was late but to see him they lost it they lost they was going crazy cat took off that coat and threw it out into the audience and dude was like dude fainted no man dude that coat was like 15 000 they ripped. They ripped that mother****** apart. He was just like, oh, yo. I'm sure Cat probably gave him the money. No, he did not. No, he did not. I always hear about Cat being so generous.

He may have given it. I just didn't know. I don't know. But I think Cat was like, that's the way the cookie crumbles, homie. You know, Chris Rock, he did the forward

to your book. Can you talk about your relationship with Chris Rock? Yeah. I mean, I've known him forever. You know, all the comedians have known each other forever chris i met tony rock before i met actually met chris rock but um just known each other forever and i used to always just

bug the out of them and be like yo i'm only gonna make it if somebody like you tell them i'm funny why you ain't telling them i'm funny chris and he'd just be like he always said he didn't say i i wasn't ready, but he did say that, but he was like, no, they're not ready for you. That's what he was saying, but I would always, man, I would chase him out to the car at the Laugh Factory. I would chase him all the way out to his car

and I'd be like, what the f***, yo? What you doing? Like, why you see me ripping these small s***? And he'd just smile at me and get in his car like, god damn it, Chris! I love what he said in the four though he said he talked about how snl could easily find white comedians because of institutions but don't have an idea where to find funny black people so how difficult is it for a black comedian to be discovered for just like what he said like you find them in an institution you

find the funny bitches at the dmv and that's real talk like uh barbara carlisle i will always mention barbara carlisle because barb mention Barbara Carlisle because Barbara Carlisle when I was coming out was one of the biggest female comedians like so freaking funny like funny as hell how she didn't blow up you know what I'm saying because she didn't have the same opportunities as

maybe a white female comic can get seen easier they get the laugh factory spots and comedy store and the cellar and all of that stuff you know and really like we have to vouch for each other like at the cellar had to vouch for for yam i always say her name yamanika yamanika i always say her name wrong she she loves that i mess her name up but she'd be like you know how to say my name bitch one of the man when i say yamamika yamanika? And she gonna be like, God damn it, Leslie. So funny.

Oh, one of my favorite. I love Yamamika. Oh, she's so funny. So, and she don't care. She will just tell you, tell her, but at first, they weren't gonna let her in the cellar. So I was like, yo,

if I hadn't got SNL, that would be me. So let her in. You got white comics down there talking about having sex with their wife with a Christmas roll and you talking about she's blue? No, f*** that. Put her up. You got white comics down there talking about having sex with their wife with a Christmas roll. And you talking about she's blue?

No, f*** that. Put her up. So, you know, it's it's like that's it's just that type of community, you know, is that type of community. But but, you know, Chris, Chris knew what he was going to take somebody like a Chris to say, yo, you need to put her on. Well, now I mean, nowadays now is different. Now we're getting a lot more love.

But back in the day, yeah, you got to get introduced through a male. That's how it is. Old Boys Club. All right, we got more with Leslie Jones when we come back. Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody.

It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Leslie F. and Jones. Every comedian always talk about bad promoters, and promoters are always bad in the world. Yeah. How bad was it? Shy. Oh,

and like, and I'm just to tell you, I'm pretty sure just to tell shysty ass promoters, they bad for everybody. But for women is extra is an extra layer there because, Oh God, I hate to say it like this because it was really hard in the beginning because promoters, you know,

you have some of the promoters that think they're going to the f**k you or either like that you that that you are being brought for them to f**k man i came from hoes pimps and crackheads and drug dealers you comedy n****s is jokes y'all n****s are clowns like i wouldn't f**k you with my enemies and i don't like that b**ch you know what i'm saying her with a hard b**ch but not yours so so so you would like when i first came it was like if you if there was a headliner and they want you to go on the road it's like are you f**ked i would get on the road because i was funny but you you definitely would have the moments where hey why you not being nice to the promoter the promoter like you why you not being nice to the promoter that is 72 and he has on my grandfather's suit damn what the

you think i'm gonna the promoter what what what deal is you making? You know, I mean, that type of s***. Or the hotels. Like, I remember another f***ing comment. We're all on the same hallway. And they didn't get no bitches. Because they not gonna get no bitches. And they're like, oh, we just trying to figure out who gonna get to come to Leslie's room. I said, none of you hoes.

And what was so funny is that I actually was hooking up with somebody that night. And that m**** walked right down the hallway. And I opened up the door. I was like, yeah yeah that's who gets the not you dirty damn any comic you ask me and ask about me will tell you i am that bitch that yeah we don't with us that's it you know it's so funny what you talk about with the money thing that's what i'm always concerned about with women and promoters because i'm always like when promoters be short they'll they're more than likely to be like i'm not giving her her money because i don't feel like nothing gonna happen oh i talking about worse shows and i'm gonna mention everybody name in this okay so i'm in new york

new york you know it's not that many women when i was doing it it's a few and we get them shows whatever and yes i did a show for ray dejon ray so he books me in brooklyn right and it's i remember it was drew frazier somebody else and i don't remember who this promoter's name was but he i guess because i was a female and the crowd wasn't good so drew went up he did all right another comedian went up and they wasn't really doing that well so he comes over to me and he goes yo just do 10 minutes just do well. So he comes over to me and he goes, yo, just do 10 minutes. Just do 10 minutes. Because he didn't know me.

So he's like, just do 10 minutes. And I was like, okay, well, no problem. And he was like, I'll pay you when you get off stage. So I was like, all right, all right. So I get on stage and I'm ripping. I'm destroying. 10 minutes. I got off.

Why the f*** you get off stage? I was like, dude, you told me to. Because he literally came over and said I don't think I'm gonna have all the money just do 10 minutes so I was like

you just told me to do 10 minutes he was like no you were killing I don't f*** that f*** that I'm not paying you so I'm just like

new to New York and I'm just like dude so I go to Ray DeJount and I was like yo this f*** is not gonna pay me you booked me

what the f*** Ray and he was like yeah I'm talking to you. I don't know. So I called Rob Stapleton. Salute to Rob. Yes, Salute to Rob.

I love Rob Stapleton. Rob Stapleton called Big Biff. And they got out that car. Big Biff's hand was around that promoter's neck so fast. He was like, and then he was like, you going to do a female like that? You better. And he was like, no, dude, it wasn't like that. She just wasn't

patient enough to wait for my f***ing money. Like, like, like real talk, they do think that they can punk,

punk people. I've had, had a lot of, had a lot of promos in Atlanta. Oh, so, when you're paying out my money.

So, so how much I owe you? I only owe you $600. No, you owe me $1100. Keep counting. Okay. No ride to the airport like like that oh no i have been left at venues oh the car leaving okay i'm the female you should wait for the female

oh they went back to the hotel really oh no it's a lot of and that's why that's why i always say now because i'm sure it's a little different now because women do speak up but i always tell male comedians when you're on the road with a female look out for her that's right look out for her because like like i know a lot of female comedians that's been raped that's been like hurt beat up slapped by other comedians and you know who you are real talk like it's like it's another battle. It's another battle because we are women. But like I said,

I'm a big six feet. You know, she got to go in like five minutes. Okay, hold on. Are you going to be the host of The Daily Show? You're doing it all next week. I don't know.

Am I? You tell me. Do you want? I mean, was that something you would want? You know what? I'm not going to lie. I think I'd be pretty good at it.

And I think, I think nighttime is ready for a black woman ready for one. That's ready to, to, to, to go do it. Cause I feel like I've been built for that.

Like I call myself the 2000 year old woman because I've been through every decade, but I feel like they need somebody who is, can bring joy and bring laughter and, and, and, and inform people in a way that they, they like take their medicine with the candy.

It's time to bring some laughter back to life period it's time for everybody to stop being so offended how about this is what i want to say everybody has been acting for the last five years like a five year old everybody needs to stop the what about me because it's just starting to become ridiculous at this point and grow the up i am sick of it y'all sick of it and you know you you know you you know you showing your ass you know what's right you know what's wrong stop acting like a five-year-old that's right and that's what our society is acting right like now and you know, like everybody in here know, it always be a black woman that come and go.

let's get to the rumors Lauren LaRosa's here I've been here for a little bit I've been here for a minute move out the way tell us I think a lot of people will recognize the voice in the name on the breakfast club Lauren came in hot you know I came in telling the truth so Kel Mitchell uh Kenan and Kel was hospitalized on Tuesday night um He went in through the emergency room. Now, TMZ

has a witness that tells them that he appeared to be conscious and alert when he arrived to the hospital. No one knows right now what the illness was, but he was definitely in the hospital getting treatment. It's kind of unknown, even if at this point, if he's been released. Kel did

post something to his Instagram. On his Instagram, he just is thanking fans. It sounds kind of unknown, like, even if at this point, if he's been released. Kel did post something to his Instagram. And on his Instagram, he just is thanking fans. It sounds kind of serious. So he says he's grateful for the flood of prayers and positive vibes that surrounded him during a genuinely frightening time. The scare was real, but so was the support with the grace of God and the skill of the medical team. I'm now on the road to recovery. Oh, he is home and embraced by his family. The kindness has been a lifeline.

He can't thank people enough. Much love to you guys. So it sounds like it was something serious that came out of nowhere. Well, salute to Kel, sending him healing energy, man. That's why when I wake up in the morning, we should all pray for good health.

Like, you really thank God for another life, but really pray for good health, man, because you never know what people are going through. So salute to that, brother. That's right. For sure. Now, DJ Khaled is talking about why he doesn't have things like

an attorney i mean not an attorney an accountant uh or a money manager let's take a look i have a rule where my bank gotta tell me even if i tell them i approve it don't listen to me but they have to get a verbal yeah you're gonna call you and talk to me yeah because it's ai's out there i have a rule if you pay for everything yourself you notice you're paying too much for stuff, right? And you notice you got to balance. Right. You're like this all the time. So if I touch that, that means it got to be replaced that hour, no more than two weeks.

If I let somebody else say, oh, to pay the bills, you're not going to notice it in real time because it gives you a harder time to fix it. Right. While I'm paying all these bills, traveling, vacation, my mom's bills, the kids. You probably help your wife, family. Everybody. And I'm happy, but I feel it.

And while I'm feeling it, it tells me book that gig. I'm going over there. Oh, I said no to that. I changed my mind. No way in the world I'm letting somebody have the power to touch the hard work right no way y'all got money first of all first of all first of all god is good that's how a rich person responds i just said god is good yeah god is good do y'all have um

business managers or money managers and accounts to each their own i'm not mad at calif or how he does things but if you can find a great financial team get one my money managers and accountants? Absolutely. To each their own. I'm not mad at Cal for how he does things, but if you can find a great financial team, get one. My money managers and accountants are fantastic. Salute to Lifeline Financials. Salute to my good brother Humble. Salute to Laura. Best decision I ever made. They're black as well, by the way. And also my team, they run everything

by me. Like I sign off on every payment, no matter how small it is, no matter how small it is, no matter how big it is. I sign off on every payment. But you need folks to handle your business. Not mad how calla does things but you should have a good reliable solid trustworthy person to handle your business and most importantly man for taxes yeah no i i have a a good team i have a great team absolutely positively but i pay my own bills too i'm like i'm like the time um because i'm i'm like callit i like to see what goes in what goes out my account now for some of my businesses my accountant handles a majority of it but when it

comes to household bills and what goes in and out as far as what happens in my crib and some of the houses that i have i pay those bills because like calla said i want to see what goes in i want to see what goes out because sometimes you know when it's not your money people can make payments and you don't even think about it but when it's your money and you see what goes out i'm kind of like how much did i just spend for that how much was that no no we're not doing that next month and i can figure that out but you're a good accountant team will tell you that though right you spend it too much a good accountant team will tell you no you're not making that you're not buying that right now you know that's what a good accountant team does how you know

he's worried about people stealing the money though that's what it sounds like well here's the thing anybody can steal right anybody can steal but one thing i love about my financial team is that they're black and they know they're black and they know that if they had that kind of reputation it would finish them you know what i mean so they are very trustworthy uh you know i i agree, but I'm just that's just who I am. And I'll tell you a quick story. A long time ago in the industry, there was a bunch of people that were investing. No, not they were business managers. And these business managers actually stole a lot from a couple of people in the industry.

And because of that, I handle my own bills. And that's just been my thing from the beginning. Me and my wife, we pay our own bills when certain things. Of course, we have accountants that handle taxes, that handles a lot of the other stuff but when it comes to basic bills i handle that why this is so off topic but still call it he said them ais i mean he was talking about how they have to face time why do why do y'all over a certain age add essence to everything the ais like why like why do y'all do that like that is such an age thing because it is plural there's more than

one ai but it's like you don't talk about like your mom never talked to me like get them ais i felt them them ais you just get to a certain age and just don't care and start adding s's to everything salute the cali man yep shout the cali. Watch your calories while you watch your money. What? Is that shade? No. That was a stab. Oh, I think so. Yeah, huh. No, it wasn't. I'm talking to all of us.

And this 74-year-old OG, David Lasseter, does not give a damn and this 74 year old og david lassiter does not give a damn when you get to a certain age your levels of i don't give a f rise higher than your cholesterol and this is what happened to david lassiter see david went to do his civic duty on tuesday night and he went out and voted okay he went to a polling place at a local church and he lost his wallet there 74 no old easy to misplace things i 45, and sometimes I look for my phone to make a call while I'm simultaneously on Instagram.

And guess what? I only got one phone. So I can understand misplacing your wallet at that age. So he retraced his footsteps, went back to the polling place, and found his wallet. But Grandpa said $100 was missing from his wallet when he found it, $100. So he called the police, and I guess the police weren't telling him what he wanted to hear,

so he decided to take matters in his own hand. Why am I telling you this story? Let's go to ABC 27 for the report, please. That was the worst. The worst election day in Sharon Neal's 10 years working as a poll worker at Covenant Community Church. Police say 75-year-old David Lassiter went to vote and left his wallet behind. And upon him returning to retrieve it, he realized there was $100 missing. Police say Lassiter left and said he would come back with a gun.

They talked to him on the phone. The officers made attempts to convince Mr. Lassiter it wouldn't be in everyone's best interest if he was to show up at the polling station with a firearm as well as with bad intentions. Mr. Lassiter seems to think we took the money. We were the one who was trying to give him his wallet back. One of the voters took his money. Police say that seems to be true based on video evidence. And what's definitely true, according to witnesses,

he returned. And he returned to the point where he had his car pulled up to the gate where nobody could get in or nobody could come out. That's right. Mr. Lasseter appeared to point a handgun at one of the more police units that was on scene They arrested him for making terroristic threats and searched his car Seven weapons were recovered during this incident. He had enough guns in his car to just do a massacre Old enough to know better

74 which is why he's getting The biggest he are But also old enough To not give a damn So you get to a certain age And it's all about the principle It ain't about the $100 Okay It ain't about the $100 Alright

It ain't about the $100 It's about the principle You get to a certain age And you truly understand The value of money Alright The same way Kodak Black Understands the value of a dollar

So does this OG So how dare you steal From a man Who's been eligible For free pancakes At IHOP For well over 20 years Alright That's all this is about Is principle He's 74 you have a dollar so does this og so how dare you steal from a man who's been eligible for free pancakes at ihop for well over 20 years all right that's all this is about his principal he's 74 he don't got time to play with folks so he came back with his nine millimeter what's popping cuz do we have a problem here first thing he saw was an empty police car so he pointed the pistol at

the empty police car that was just pure anger and frustration i called y'all to help me and y'all acted like it was nothing that can be done. So now y'all ops too. Fun fact, though. Not only was the police car empty, so was his gun. All right? Police later found the pistol was unloaded. All right?

And that Lassiter had a loaded magazine on his waist, though. Now, this is how you know it was just about the principal. David had high emotions, they said, when he came back to the polling place, place and he wanted to confront people you heard what was just said on the news report he wanted to confront people inside the church who got my hundred dollars one of y'all in here got my money and i'm not leaving until somebody gives it up police somehow got him to calm down and that's when they searched his car and learned this man had so much artillery so many weapons ready for war that you would think the u.s government was funding him all right this man had seven firearms a 223 rifle a 12 gauge shotgun a 38 a 460 and two pistols of

unknown calibers that means they might have been so old that officers didn't even know what they can do okay he might have had a hand cannon from the 1300s and a musket. All right? Police took his nine as evidence and put the rest away for safekeeping. And now OG David Lasseter is charged with making terrorist threats, possession of an instrument of crime, and disorderly conduct. And guess what? All misdemeanors.

Misdemeanors for who? This man had the same kind of guns as T.I. And only got a misdemeanors misdemeanors for who this man had the same kind of guns as tia and only got a misdemeanor guess what race he is okay i've been waiting for this now terry we don't even have to guess this is an easy one now terry wheelan who was the captain of the harrisburg borough of police said i wouldn't want a situation like this to reflect upon other responsible gun owners i'm a huge proponent of lawful responsible responsible gun ownership and gun carrying i don't think that's what this is at all i agree but it's still just a misdemeanor you tell me a nigga alive who can get caught with seven firearms threaten to hurt people at a polling place a polling place and get charged with a misdemeanor.

No, Missy Elliott. I did some research this morning this morning. OK, and by research, I mean Google and I Googled senior discounts. OK, senior discount. Amazon Prime was on their CVS extra cash, CVS Veterans Advantage, Home Depot, Kohl's, Michael's, even Tanger Outlets. But I didn't see nothing about law enforcement. Not one. Okay, so please, let's make this a double donkey and give David Lasseter and the Harrisburg Borough of Police the biggest hee-haw. How you gonna give a man a senior discount?

Because he got caught with seven guns. I hope you never get pulled over up there, wherever that is. What? That's Highbury, Pennsylvania. That's probably where the outlets are. It's Tangier. Ain't that the Commonwealth State? It's Tangier?

She runs the company Chicks with Triggers. That's right. She is a certified firearm instructor, and she believes every woman needs to own a firearm and learn how to use it. Not only firearms, learn how to defend yourself. Learn how to defend yourself, period, but mostly guns. That guns that's right that's right and she does knife training knife work as well oh i love that all right when we're gonna talk to her next robin emmons when we come back so don't move it's the breakfast club good morning the breakfast club morning everybody it's dj nv charlamagne the We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. Yes, indeed. Founder and CEO of Chicks With Triggers Firearms Academy.

Robin Evans, welcome. Robin. Thank you for having me. How are you doing? I'm doing good. How are you? Good, good, good. Did they pat you down before you got here today?

No, and thankfully. You know? Okay, great. I don't know if that's a good thing or bad thing. If I should feel safe or not. I don't know. Surprise, surprise. Surprise, surprise.

Tell the people what Chicks With chicks with triggers is first of all chicks with triggers is a self-defense company that i started down in greenville south carolina we deal primarily with firearms um we teach women how to use guns we teach women how to get certified to get pistol permits we teach women self-defense we teach women how to use knives basically how to stay alive no i i agree with it a thousand percent right before you walk and i was telling charlamagne that um my wife carries okay my assistant carries okay I carry okay and my daughter who's 21 I have her taking the training class right now so she can carry right they know how to use though they go to range of very often okay very often no we do very often. But are y'all good?

Because a lot of people be at the range, and they be in there looking crazy. They do. They don't know how to use their sights. But you know what? I'm not afraid to ask for help. My dad is a retired police officer, so he goes with me sometimes. Y'all got that in common. Shows how to aim and this, that, and the other.

And it's very important. One thing my dad would always tell me, guns weren't a big thing in my house because I guess he was always open to sharing information about firearms. Right. So it was never a thing when I see my dad's gun. Like, oh, my God, it was that dad's firearm. Unfortunately, in a lot of black households, guns are not talked about. Like, you can't have them and stuff like that. But in my experience, in the white communities, we start at five years old and down in South Carolina at five years old they have the shooting camps and

you go to the shooting camp and then it's all summer then we go to the range but the black kids aren't in that yet correct and so the black and brown kids I'm trying to get them into it too because at some point like you said you got to learn about it because if not then the streets are going to teach you about it so if either your parents are going to teach you or the internet's going to teach you and we can't have's either your parents are going to teach you or the internet is going to teach you. And we can't have that happen. The scariest thing about firearms and especially all the laws is the laws change so much. Right. And that is the biggest fear.

And no one tells you about it. Nobody tells you. You have to research it. And that is the biggest fear I have with my daughter carrying a firearm or my wife carrying a firearm or even myself. Because the law, something will change overnight and you don't know. And you'll be driving with your firearm and then you'll get locked up and there's nowhere around. That is the scariest thing so what what do you see as as problems when you face with trying to teach all these not only men but people of color about

firearms right so i make sure that because everybody says they got a gun but nobody knows how to use it nobody knows the laws associated with it and i always say ignorance of the law is not an excuse right they still lock you up regardless yep um so i make sure that i keep everybody updated as soon as something changes it's on my social media so people know hey this is changing we need to do this we need to do that i tell people all the time how to carry in their cars i'm in the state of south carolina we don't need a permit to have a gun like you need a permit to leave the state but you don't need a permit in the state of south carolina new jersey new york you do oh yeah y'all y'all not gun friendly at all but we're working on it jersey jersey jersey

a lot better yeah jersey's a lot better but we're working on it. Jersey, Jersey, Jersey, a lot better. Yeah, Jersey's a lot better, but we're working on New York. But so I try to keep I try to keep them up to date with how to do stuff, because unfortunately, we don't get the black and brown communities don't get the benefit of the doubt like other communities. Right. And as soon as something happens with us, that's a felony where and other, you know, other cultures, that's maybe a intervention program of some sort. So I try to keep everybody up to date, because if not, if I don't tell you, they're not going to look it up and the police damn sure ain't going to tell you and now you screwed up. You know, South Carolina has been in the top 10 states

of women murdered by men for the last 27 years. You know, many of those years, they were number one on the list. And I've heard you say that violence against women is a public health issue. Yes. Why do you consider it that? Because I feel like women are the,

especially black women, are the most unprotected in this whole entire country. I'm in South Carolina. Domestic violence is a joke. It really is a joke. I've had women that have come to me like they've been beaten, face broken, all kinds of stuff. And the guy got a thousand dollar fine and was sent home. It's not taken seriously. And so that's my that's where I kind of come in. And I'm trying to teach women how to defend themselves. Like we don't need a man to defend us because clearly y'all not doing it right um there's a lot of men in the communities that talk about protecting black women protecting women protecting women and then they don't do anything they're actually the ones hurting us

um and so i'm trying to teach women that you don't need anybody we don't need the cops we don't need anybody all we need is a gun and learn how to use it and we can be our own first responders pisses you off when you see these videos of like women being assaulted by men and the men just standing around not doing nothing. Yeah, and they just record it and they don't do anything. And then everybody's in the comments talking about what they should have done, but actually no one did anything. But on the flip side of that, right?

It's a double-edged sword because on the flip side, then the government will come and now you're in jail because you were trying to help somebody else. So it's kind of like a flip side of what you want to do because you thought you was helping and now you're in a jam now if a woman is listening right now and they're interested in maybe a class and they're not from south carolina they're from a what first of all what gun would you advise for a woman that's their first time nope because i believe that everybody should pick out their gun so here's the thing about guns guns are non-refundable

right so you have to try them before you buy them. What works for me may not work for him, may not work for your daughter, your wife, whoever. So I'd say that a lot of people go towards small guns. And they'll say, oh, I want to buy a small gun because it fits in my purse, blah, blah, blah. Smaller guns are harder to shoot. Not as accurate. We need bigger guns. We can handle bigger guns. But a lot of women don't believe that they can because when they go into these ranges, they go into these gun stores all of them are ran by men and the men take

them to the to the purple guns and the pink guns and they don't matter that's exactly what they take them and we can handle better than that so what I carry is a Smith & Wesson shield plus I carry that it's a 9 millimeter but I mean I could bust your ass with a 380 you know what I mean so it doesn't really matter I feel like we it has to fit person. We have to try it out. Y'all need to know, Robyn's not a first-generation shooter. She come from a long line of ass-kickers and shooters.

I just want to put that out there. I was going to ask, a lot of people feel like they need a big gun, right? They need a.40 caliber or a.45. Can you tell the reason why? I carry a 9mm, and the reason I carry a 9mm, too, is if I'm in the house

and I got to shoot somebody in the house, I don't want it to go through the wall and hit my kids whatever you little deuce deuce in your boot well you know what so 9mm is very popular right

but then you I mean people get killed with.22's you know I have some women that a.22 is where they are right now he's laughing at me right cause back in New York

you could not you know you couldn't carry a gun but in New York was very very deadly very very a lot of crime growing up as a teen

right so we used to go to the club. I used to carry like a little tutu. And his Manolo Blahniks. First of all, he had a Manolo Blahniks. Not in my Manolo Blahniks. He had a.22 in it. In my shoe because that would be the only way that I can walk around with a gun.

And they made fun of me. But they don't know that a tutu could do damage like anything else. He won't stand in front of it. I bet you he won't stand in front of it. Let's try. I bet you he couldn't get it out of his boots. I can't. I know you could.

So I think that the gun has to fit the person and we won't know until we try so like for my company i offer a service called try before you buy where i bring eight to ten of the most popular concealed carry guns and we sit there one-on-one and we try every single one so that way when a woman goes to the gun store they are confident in what they came to buy because if not they're gonna try to talk you into this little pink gun over here. So when they walk in, they say, no, I want the Glock 43X. No, I want the Glock 19. They are very aware of where we are because we already did this process. We got more with

Robin Evans when we come back. So don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. We're talking about gun safety. I saw you say one in three women in the U.S. will experience domestic dating violence in their lifetime. So would you encourage women to take guns on the first date? Yes. Absolutely. You never know who you're meeting up with. Especially these

dating apps and stuff like that. You never know who this person really is. There's been a lot of serial rapists connected to dating apps and stuff like that. So I would highly recommend that a woman but not just have a gun, know how to use the gun. A lot of people have guns to flex with and they're not knowledgeable about the actual gun. So I believe, yes, you should have a gun know how to use the gun right a lot of people have guns to flex with and

they got they're not knowledgeable about the actual gun so i believe yes you should have a gun on every single date on the 54th date there should still be a gun how would you encourage women to get or just people in general to get over their fear of firearms see that's where i believe the instructor i feel like whoever you team up with that's where that comes into play because if you team up with somebody who's macho, macho and think we about to join the military tomorrow, then you get turned off by it because you're already intimidated. So I believe that's where you have to find a instructor that you vibe with. Right.

Like, so my whole business is a vibe. Like we're a vibe. I have a vibe check. You can't come unless you pass the vibe check. I've turned down people because they vibes don't match my vibe. What's the vibe check? Ratchet yet educational. You know what I mean? So like, they vibes don't match my vibe what's the vibe check ratchet yet educational you know what I mean um so like but I don't miss this but um so yeah the vibe check I've had people come and they're here for the wrong reasons right

they're here they're here because they they are malicious they're here for not they don't want to learn how to protect themselves they want to learn how to do damage there's something else because they got something else going on I'm not here for that I'm here to teach women how to defend themselves against threats that may come your way. I think reps, too. I think the more you do it, the more you get used to it. Yeah, the reps, yeah. I think the first time anybody goes into a range and you shoot that one time and it's loud, it scares the shit out of somebody. Well, and it also depends on the gun that you shoot for the first time.

So I start everybody off with.22. This is as low as we can go. I start everybody off then as a confidence builder. And they say, oh, this wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. And then next thing you know, we move up to a 380, right? So it goes 22, 380, 9 millimeter. And we slowly work our way up that ladder. And then when they're next, next thing you know, they do have a 40 or 45 because we took that process together.

I do believe when somebody uses that firearm, it should be the kill. Yes. I believe that. Don't pull it out if you ain't serious about it. Okay. Because, you know, a lot of people, and I can tell a lot of these people that don't have firearms they always say well you can injure somebody shoot them in the leg shoot them in the arm but see the the thing about it is right when you when you pull out your firearm to use it you are trying to truly stop

somebody correct right so if you shoot them at other places their adrenaline can keep them going through things like that so i teach women about organs. I teach them about placement. Because what we're trying to do is drop the blood pressure. If you drop the blood pressure, you drop the person. And so that's what we're trying to do. So we're trying to hit you in organs every single time. Where can we hit? If we only got one shot, we got to make it work.

The arm ain't it. Hold on. That sounded sinister. You said drop the blood pressure. Yeah. Damn. Welcome to Chicks for Triggers. So you teach all your people how to just shoot to kill? Yes. Damn. Welcome to Chicks for Triggers. So you teach all your people how to just shoot to kill?

Yes. Okay. But I deal with a lot of domestic violence. Law enforcement, they shoot to kill. When you pull your firearm out, it's to kill. It's not to injure. That's what they don't want, though. That's what a lot of activists don't want.

But what she said, when that adrenaline is running, and somebody's coming towards you, you want to make sure you eliminate the threat. Right. And they still keep coming. So, so i mean that's what i train women to do like i said i deal with a lot of domestic violence victims like stuff you you couldn't even believe it if i told you right now um so i've had women had to use their firearms to defend themselves and that's how we train we train the way it's going to be we're not training for your arm we train it to put you down which is the concentration on victims of domestic

violence solely or just women in general it's women in general it's women in general however once i started all the domestic violence victims started coming um and they all like they didn't feel comfortable taking the men's classes they didn't feel comfortable sitting in the classes with all the men so they started finding chicks with triggers and then they come and even the like at the local rangers they'll say women never talk to us like they talk to you but it's's a different vibe. You know what I mean? So they come to me and they say, listen, this man is stalking me. He's trying to kill me. I've had that a million times. You know, this man had me in the hospital and I was on a feeding tube for three months. I've had that a million times or he's getting out of prison. And he said like he already called and said he's coming. So we got to get ready. The only thing I don't like about a lot of states where they allow you to have a firearm at a young age or 21 you know you don't need a permit or don't don't need a license is i feel like everybody

should have to take a class right yeah now okay so i do agree with that i believe that you have to prove you should prove that you're competent but not only that you should know what the consequences are right a lot of people you get a firearm i remember i got my first firearm at 21 right i went to ham university at 21 you could get a gun in virginia so i got my first handgun at 21 i don't think i was mentally capable of owning that gun right because at that age anything you mean you could get into a fight in the club and i'm automatically going to grab my firearm but you don't necessarily know the consequences of right what that means and i think i mean if you have to take a class to get a license you know you have to take a class with so many different things why shouldn't you have to take one to get a firearm see i believe that you i believe that you should at you have to take a class to get a license, you know, you have to take a class with so many different things. Why shouldn't you have to take one to get a firearm?

See, I believe that you I believe that you should at least have to take a class. I really do believe that. I know a lot of there's a lot of organizations that don't believe that, like, you should just be able to go buy a gun. Now, granted, in South Carolina, we could just go buy a gun. You don't need a class. But my direct clientele and most women, they want the class. It's the men. That's the problem.

Most women want the class of okay i had this gun for however long but i don't feel comfortable using it because i don't know nothing about it so it's just been sitting in the box and that's where we start from there i might even have a program it's called learn your gun um it's for women that already have a gun and they come and it's a four-week program and every single week they come and we learn so week one we learn how to break it down take it apart what are all the names called what are all the parts called then the second week is malfunctions if it jams what are we going to do like we can't just say excuse me sir you know before you rate me can you give me 15 minutes um and then the third

one we go for accuracy that's where i talk about the placement and stuff like that we go to the shooting range um and then the fourth one we learn how to clean it and oil it and keep it keep it functioning properly what success stories have you had like Like meaning, you know, sadly a woman was assaulted and they were able to defend themselves. I had a woman that a man that she knew broke into her home and she had to use a firearm and she killed him. And I remember asking her afterwards, I said, how do you feel? And the first thing she said to me, which she had never said in two years to me, was I finally feel free. Like I'm not scared anymore. I'm not looking over my shoulder anymore i feel free and she said i never thought i would feel like that because for the past eight years this is how i felt and so he would stalk her

everything because it's not even if they stalk you right it's hard to get a restraining order and a straining order is just a piece of paper the cops are not here to protect you so we have to do it ourselves i feel like especially with domestic violence it's only going to end one of two ways right domestic violence is out of control right now and it's only going to end one of two ways either men are going to step up and say you know we're not going to do this anymore we're not going to beat women anymore we're not going to treat them like this anymore which that hasn't happened yet or women are going to step up and they're going to say you know we're going to be our own first responders and if anybody poses an imminent threat to me or my family we're going to put them. And that's what I teach them how to do.

How else do you think women can protect themselves while they're waiting on the process to go through to access a firearm? Knives. We teach knives. We teach self-defense. There's so many different ways. It doesn't always have to be a gun. Because a lot of places you can't even have a gun. So what are we going to use?

So we teach them stick fighting. We teach them where to hit. We teach them knives, how to stab, stuff like that. Things that you you can use around your house we teach them to be prepared from every single angle can we talk about the background because i know people hear that and they'll be like what you know about all of that okay so my father is retired nypd and he's also grandmaster of modern vigisa which is a martial arts system that's right um so we we kick ass around here from every single angle you know what i mean every angle we you're gonna get your ass whooped every from every single angle. Every angle, you're going to get your ass whooped. Every single

way we can. Professor Robert Evans, you've heard me talk about him. I've written about him in my books. Great mentor of mine. Yes, he is that. He is him.

It's a chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper into their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together. You know that rush of endorphins you feel after a great workout? Well, that's when the real magic happens. So if you love hearing real, inspiring stories from the people you know, follow, and admire, join me every week for Post Run High. It's where we take the conversation beyond the run and get into the heart of it all. It's lighthearted, pretty crazy, and very fun. Listen to Post Run High on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. So y'all, this is Questlove and I'm here to tell you about a new podcast I've been working

Hey, y'all.

Nimany here. I'm the host of a brand new history podcast for kids and families called Historical Records. Historical Records brings history to life through hip hop. Flash, slam, another one gone. Bash, bam, another one gone. The crack of the bat and another one gone. through hip-hop. Each episode is about a different inspiring figure from history. Like this one about Claudette Colvin,

a 15-year-old girl in Alabama who refused to give up her seat on the city bus nine whole months before Rosa Parks did the same thing. Check it. Get the kids in your life excited about history by tuning in to Historical Records. Because in order to make history, you have to make some noise.

Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist who, on October 16, 2017, was murdered.

There are crooks everywhere you look now. The situation is desperate. My name is Manuel Delia. I am one of the hosts of Crooks Everywhere, a podcast that unhearts the plot to murder a one-woman Wikileaks. Daphne exposed the culture of crime and corruption that were turning her beloved country into a mafia state. And she paid the ultimate price.

It's's dj envy charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club laura la rosa is here and let's get to the rumors i think a lot of people will recognize the voice in the name on the breakfast club la Lauren came in hot. You know, I came to tell them the truth. So Omarion recently sat down with Jason Lee

over at Hollywood Unlocked. Shout out to them. And he talked about the fact that at one point in time, him and Carucci were almost a thing. One of the girls that tried to hook you up with a lot of people don't know is Carucci. Oh, yeah. Do you remember that?

Uh-huh. Me, Chris Brown, and Omarion, Jabba Brothers. Yeah. Right? One night, they said, bring all these girls. So I brought all these girls, and one of the girls was Karuchi. Right, right. Do you remember that night?

Y'all were kind of feeling each other. That's true. And I thought y'all were going to be a thing. Yeah, that's true. That's true. And then she was on media takeout with Chris. Right. And you never say anything.

What? If I was you, I would, you know. Come on now, you got to be unbothered. You've been unbothered for a long time. What would Amarion have to say, though? I mean, him and Chris Brown were friends at one point. They didn't seem like they were dating

it seemed like they came to a party and they were talking but there's also like always been I mean since I think they're good now we'll get into that

we have some audio but there has been like a little bit of like like a weird friction with Omarion and Chris Brown I didn't know that I think it's so I think it's more so

just like career comparisons and like that whole thing. Like there were jokes going around at one point in time that like Chris Brown stole Omarion's career. Really?

There was one point, yeah, there was one point when Omarion, I mean, Omarion had dropped a project. This was like 2017 and a fan commented

and said, it takes this dude years to come out with an album. I guess everybody and Chris Brown. Omarion responded and said, it's because I make music for the soul, not just for business purposes. But everybody and Chris Brown. Omarion responded and said, it's because I make music for the soul,

not just for business purposes. But how could Chris Brown steal Omarion's career? Chris Brown came out as a solo artist in 2005. Omarion was still with B2K around that time, right? Yep.

So Chris Brown's career is his career. Omarion's career is his career. We got to stop thinking that just because one person is winning, somebody else has to lose. That's not how it works

in the music industry. Or that they both singing and dancing, that somebody took the music industry. Or that they both singing and dancing. That somebody takes somebody's style. Chris Brown came out singing and dancing. That's how people do, though. People are niggas. Us. Niggas.

That's how it is. It's like if you got one person that's singing, dancing, and smoothing all around the stage, another person can't do it, too. Which is crazy because that means we could have two or three or four. And even with this situation so if jason lee brought some women to a party and we all decide to talk to maybe she was talking to mara and didn't like him and then it was speaking to chris like chris you know i mean so i don't they weren't dating they weren't together they weren't holding hands yeah i'm confused even even if they were though yeah let's hear the audio

because he does speak to the Chris Brown part of the conversation. I've always looked at CB as like, you know, like a brother, you know what I mean? Even if it's from a distance, even if, you know, I don't agree with some of the things that he says or he does, you know what I'm saying? Like, one thing I do know is when I see CB, he always show me respect. You know what I'm saying? He always be like, hey, hey bro because i just i seen him um down in vegas for um lovers and friends and it's been a while since we ran into each other

we actually ran into each other and we're able to talk yeah at the same hotel it was just like oh what up it was still very um respectful and that's all that i asked you know i'm saying like because like i said i don't forget and i think it's interesting to point out, like even when Omarion posted this, he said something in his caption about like having to get over our own like preconceived notions. And, you know, just how we interpret things that other people may do or say or not do or not say, like, you know, something to that effect. I think that's important, too, because when you are there, sometimes it's not people. Sometimes you in your own head about what people are saying, what's in the comments, all that back and forth. And then that creates a friction.

That is people, though. I mean, that's why I always say you got to be very careful of social media because you'll get on social media and you'll let social media dictate your thoughts for you. Dictate your emotions. It'll be narratives. It'll be things that you weren't even thinking about that somebody will put in your head. And now all of a sudden you believe it you know or other people will believe it it's just like yo the only validation you should care about the only opinion you should care about is yours that's

why i never i never understand when people get so mad about what folks are saying about them on social media shouldn't shouldn't you knowing the truth be enough yeah i think things compound though right yeah because like if at that time omar yan didn't feel like his career was where he wanted to be chris brown is doing well you got everybody around you talking about chris brown and basically saying that should be you it it you have to build up that armor of like now i'm good where i'm at i'm cool i'm good over here that takes a little minute you weren't always you was in the comments and all that at one point i've never cared.

NB will tell you that. I ain't never cared about what people say about me. You used to lean into stuff. When I was playing the game. He didn't care. No, he never cared. I like to clear up my stuff. Like if somebody has a notion or something about me, I want to clear it up because I

don't like the narrative going around that something that's, let's say it's not true. And I want to tell people what the truth is. That's always been me. I'm learning. You're helping me learn because there's been some times where I'll be like, should I? And you'll be like, no, we're moving on from that. You're helping me learn. The only thing he ever cleared up is Morris Chestnut. He don't look nothing like

Morris Chestnut. First of all, never had to clear that up. If he was trying to beef with you though, how would you do that? Why would we beef when we came off the same assembly line? Please Me and Morris Chestnut, Jeezy, same assembly line Morris Chestnut said that himself I feel like you come from where the Walmart tours are assembled

He's more like Amazon efficient Wow It's a little different It's the same thing You ever been in Walmart versus Target? Fred, do we have the clip? Very recently, for the first couple of times, they thought I was Charlamagne. Charlamagne.

Charlamagne? Yeah. Yeah. Hold on. Let me look from this way. Anybody see that one? Okay. So, yeah.

I think every boy-headed black dude, you know, will go to you. Right? Just want you all to know, on demand, on cue. Yeah. You got to keep it. Right there, right there. She had to turn him around. She had to see him from the back.

She was like, turn around, let me see you from the back. Look at like the Morris chestnuts. Go sing, Jennifer. I don't understand why Jennifer had to hate so hard on that moment. Okay? Well, we're going to move on. So, Tinashe had an intruder at her home. So, this is really scary. Really, really scary. So, there was guy um that showed up to her home several times and at this point she is asking

for a temporary restraining order because number one he showed up at her brother's birthday party there has been some things where he's kind of you know been stalkerish online to her he showed up at her house multiple times and one of the times she actually had to hide in her own home because he tried to get in the home she needs to call robin evans she definitely no for sure learn how to shoot because because he this guy was actually locked up but he was released because of that the the new uh rules or laws around like the bells in la she needs to call robin yeah she this is scary that's why women need to learn how to shoot that's why we need to learn how to shoot. That's why we had Robin Evans up here from Chicks with Triggers this morning.

And again, shout out to Robin Evans for joining us. Of course, she runs the company Chicks with Triggers. That's right.
