Starting point is 00:07:09 Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Laura La Rosa filling in for Jess. And let's get in some front page news. All right, now quickly before we jump into the news with Morgan, some quick football. Thursday night football. The Buccaneers take on the Falcons at 8-15.
Starting point is 00:07:27 Now, Major League Baseball, we're in the wild card. The Mets lost last night to the Braves. The Padres beat the Braves 5-4. The Royals beat the Orioles 2-1. And the Tigers beat the Astros 5-2. All right. Now, what we got, Morgan? Yeah, well, we're still talking about the aftermath of Hurricane Helene.
Starting point is 00:07:46 Now, the death toll has risen to at least 190 in the southeast, with hundreds still missing after Hurricane Helene and its remnants swept through the region. Now, Vice President Harris, she visited Georgia yesterday, and here's what she had to say regarding her visit. The president and I have been paying close attention from the beginning to what we need to do to make sure the federal resources hit the ground as quickly as possible. We are here for the long haul. There is the work that we have done together that was the immediate response, well, preparation for and then the immediate response after. But there's a lot of work that's going to need to happen over the coming days, weeks and months. Former President Trump, he also visited Georgia yesterday. Areas of North Carolina have been devastated by floods, with Buncombe County authorities saying the death toll has risen there to almost 60,
Starting point is 00:08:43 with property damage estimated to be in the billions. Over a million in the region are still without power between Florida and Virginia. Meanwhile, President Biden, he toured the hardest hit areas in the Carolinas via air yesterday. Speaking from the Emergency Operations Center in Raleigh, Biden gave more details regarding the bipartisan relief efforts happening in North Carolina. Let's hear from President Biden. Today, I approved the request of Governor Cooper for the federal government to cover 100 percent, 100 percent of all the costs for debris removal, emergency protective measures for six months. The damage is still being assessed, but many people are still unaccounted for. So I'm here to say, the United States, the nation,
Starting point is 00:09:27 has your back. There are no Democrats, Republicans, only Americans. And our job is to help as many people as we can, as quickly as we can, and as thoroughly as we can. Biden went on to say that he feels for the people who have lost family members regarding lost family members regarding um lost family members um in that incident yeah mother nature has nothing to do with politics because that can happen to anybody it don't matter what your political party is you know what i mean and nothing and nothing you can do after mother nature hits except do your best and attempt to clean up the mess and that's good uh
Starting point is 00:09:58 that the federal government will be cleaning up all the debris taking care of 100 of uh yeah taking care of 100 of everything for the next six months. Yeah, absolutely. Switching gears, the White House says President Biden has signed a bill increasing the amount of Secret Service protection for presidential candidates. Remember, this became an issue following the various multiple attempts on former President Trump's life. Now, the bill recently passed through Congress with unanimous support following a second assassination attempt
Starting point is 00:10:27 on former President Donald Trump. The new law gives Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris the same protections as President Biden. The Enhanced Presidential Security Act was introduced following the assassination attempt on Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania in July. Of course, last month, the Secret Service stopped another attempt on Trump's life at his golf course
Starting point is 00:10:47 in West Palm Beach, Florida. So, yeah, you know, it's amazing how we can see something happen and then that easily, you know, there's relief, there's efforts, there's initiatives being put in place. Why did it take two attempts, though?
Starting point is 00:11:04 You know, I'm not sure why it take two attempts though? I'm not sure why it took two attempts, but you see how fast it moved. It moved pretty fast that they got this passed. I just want to say it took two. Yeah, I'm not really sure. It could have been dead at one. This is true.
Starting point is 00:11:18 Of course, new details are being released related to former President Trump's alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election, but we will talk more about that at 7 a.m. That's your front page news. I'm Morgan Wood. Alright, thank you, Morgan. Everybody else, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, phone lines are wide open.

Hey, I just wanted to tell PSA for Black America, man. I think everyone needs to do their own research when it comes down to this presidential election
Starting point is 00:12:12 and get out of their own personal feelings about how you feel about the presidential candidate. This is not the first time we had a racist candidate's run. You know, give me my racism up front, not behind my back. So, you know, do your own research when it comes down to these candidates. You know, CNN and Facebook is not going to tell you the truth when it comes down to what these guys are really doing. Well, thank you for stating the obvious, sir.
Starting point is 00:12:35 We appreciate you, but you're absolutely right. Everybody should do their own research when it comes to presidential candidates and make your own individual choice because it is your own individual choice. Hello, who's this? Hey, this is Q-Potter.

I mean, I know she be posting it up on her Instagram story. Follow her on Instagram. Also, I wanted to get into this video that just surfaced with the white girl.
Starting point is 00:13:28 So, I think it was just out of context. They said that he asked the girl to come in the house so that she could play with some kids or something like that. I think the kids was on the video, the live screen, and he was just fronting like he knew the girl.
Starting point is 00:13:44 He'd been around her for years but I mean it looked egregious because he kissed on her cheek or something like that but I think it's just taking out of context. I don't think you can cancel Diddy for that video. They gotta find something else. I think Diddy has a million other reasons that he'll be canceled.
Starting point is 00:14:00 There's another video that's you know, I don't know if you saw that one with him and Cassie. I think that was the reason they canceled him, sir. Yeah. Not that one, but anyway. Let's go to one more line. Hello, who's this? Yo, this is Ty from Brooklyn.

Starting point is 00:18:59 All right. We'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:19:11 Let's get to Jess with the mess with Lauren LaRosa. News is real. Web is real. Jess Hilarious, Jessica Robin Moore. Jess don't do no lying. She don't spare nobody. Worldwide Jess. Worldwide mess.
Starting point is 00:19:26 On The Breakfast Club. She's a spare nobody. Worldwide Jess, worldwide mess. On The Breakfast Club. She's a coach of shoes. With Lauren, Lauren LaRosa. I'm back. And I got the mess. Talk to me. So yesterday we sent a rest in peace to John Amos, who passed away. And following that, there has been, and even before that, honestly, there was some family drama surrounding him
Starting point is 00:19:46 and the care of him. But there has been some new developments on that side of things. So once reports broke, which actually happened on Tuesday when his son announced the fact that he had passed away, John Amos' daughter, her name is Shannon, came out and let the world know that,
Starting point is 00:20:02 yes, she is in grieving and she is in mourning, but she didn't know her dad had even passed away. She found out through the media like we did. She said, I am without words. Our family has received the heartbreaking news that my dad, John Amos Jr., transitioned on August 21st. We are devastated and left with many questions about how this happened 45 days ago, learning about it through the media like so many of you. This should be a time of honoring and celebrating his life yet we are struggling to navigate the wave of emotions and uncertainties
Starting point is 00:20:28 around surrounding his passing still there is some uh semblance of peace and knowing my father is finally free my family and i deeply appreciate the outpouring of love cause text please continue to hold our family in your thoughts and prayers so from this statement um it was it was very evident that something was going on right like he had passed away 45 days ago, and she's just now finding out this week. That's crazy. Right. So from there, TMZ obtained the death certificate of John Amos, which, again, pointed to exactly what she was saying. So the death certificate said that he had died of congestive heart failure and that he was cremated more than a month ago.
Starting point is 00:21:06 To Shannon's point, the family found out way after he had died and been cremated. Who cremated him? So I'm going to get to that. So the date of death is listed as August 21st at Englewood Hospital. Now, his son, Casey, is listed as the informant. So that means Casey informed the county of his dad's death. So I'm assuming that Casey is the person who set up the cremation because it also lists here where like the ashes are, like where they were released to. And it's listed as Casey's home. So in Casey is his son who was in care of John at the time.
Starting point is 00:21:38 And it also listed there was no autopsy done so another family uh friend i'm sorry not a family friend but john amos's goddaughter uh released a statement following the um cremation conversation a bunch of different conversations that were happening her name is amy she released this on facebook and she says we do not so at the time they didn't have the death certificate themselves we do not have a death certificate nor do we know where or why he died because they didn't have the death certificate but we know he was suffering from congestive heart failure and dementia we fear he was likely cremated to avoid any potential investigation into conditions surrounding his final days over the past year john amos was isolated from his family and close friends by kelly casey amos that's his son um and this is all alleged y'all this is alleged by amy uh john amos's goddaughter uh
Starting point is 00:22:25 she named uh belinda foster who was a is a listed publicist for john amos as well as one of the people that was isolating him from family allegedly um and then she goes on to say casey portrayed an image of a close father-son relationship on social media but the reality was far more complex our father suffered from dementia and casey gave often gave john verbal prompts to create a narrative on social media that were not effective or effective. The truth. We are deeply concerned that our father may have been neglected and isolated during his final days as we received photos from concerned neighbors and medical professionals. The situation mirrors Shannon and Casey's mother's passing. They suspect that these actions, and I'm assuming they're talking about the way that he was
Starting point is 00:23:05 isolated from the family, according to them, have been taken to alter potential wills and collect life insurance or other benefits. This made even more concerning. As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love.
Starting point is 00:23:56 I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best. And you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey guys, I'm Kate Max.

Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist who on October 16th, 2017, was murdered.
Starting point is 00:27:23 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 unhurts 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. Listen to Crooks everywhere on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts,
Starting point is 00:27:55 or wherever you get your podcasts. By Casey struggles with addiction and mental health issues as well as his previous arrest she says we refuse to rule out the possibility of foul play especially given the involvement of two individuals a person named Eugene Brummer and Belinda Foster now this is all alleged by Amy who is the goddaughter of John Amos now this I this, I told you guys, this drama has been going on for some time. It's over a year at this point between the family. We actually have audio of John Amos when he was first in the hospital about a year ago
Starting point is 00:28:32 when his daughter Shannon spoke out and said, my dad is suffering from elder abuse. Something's wrong. So he released this video. Let's take a listen. I'm an 83-year-old man, and I have two children. My son is here with me in the hospital in Memphis,
Starting point is 00:28:47 and I'm not in the hospital as a result of anything that happened recently, other than the fact that about a month ago I was hospitalized because I was suffering from water retention. My main issues are that I feel that I was, prior to entering the hospital, I had some ongoing issues with my daughter who i feel has taken advantage of me and she would be the primary suspect if you would i don't know if that's the right term to use or not but she's the one that i would attribute my elderly abuse to now after this video yes that was john amos about a year ago after the daughter stephanie i mean
Starting point is 00:29:25 i'm sorry uh the daughter shannon had first uh claimed that there was elder abuse exploitation um and a bunch of other things happening on behalf of her brother i will say though authorities about a year ago came in investigated this and ruled that that was not happening um and there has been no official statement from authorities i have reached reached out to the woman, Belinda Foster, who's listed as a publicist for John Amos and I've also reached out to his son, Casey, but I have no word back as of yet. So I don't really know for sure what is happening,
Starting point is 00:29:53 but everything about this screams that there is just, you know, some disconnect in the family as there has been. Oh, absolutely. You didn't speak to your dad or your godfather in 45 days. There's definitely some disconnect. But I will say this, when people have dementia, right, a lot of times they don't understand what they're saying and everything that that happens in the world they think happens to them so the fact that he said that he was getting elderly abuse or they were stealing from him that doesn't necessarily have to be true that could just be in his mind
Starting point is 00:30:19 he had dementia that's what she said so that's what the daughter is claiming that he suffered and the god daughter is claiming that he suffered from dementia, congestive heart failure. Yeah, congestive heart failure and dementia is what the family on one side is saying that he was dealing with. When he was hospitalized during that time when that video released, it was something about like fluid and parts of his body. They did mention the heart failure as well, too. First things first first it's a lot rest in peace john amos sending healing energy to the family and all i'm gonna say is messy messy messy and it's none of my business even if they're trying to make it our business i do wonder how
Starting point is 00:30:54 families dealt with these things before social media like when they give us all that information what do they expect to happen what do they want us to do are they just venting are they crying out for help are they just trying to embarrass each other they want an investigation i'm sure yeah i think shannon is trying to like get the people going the last time shannon did this she had started to go fund me to raise money to like look into it get investigators to look into it and all that stuff so i there's no investigators yeah i i don't know what there's more than just calling investigators because they he's already cremated so they got to get somebody back to open up their case to see exactly what happened i'm saying it's been to see exactly what happened to those records.
Starting point is 00:31:26 All I'm saying is spend that time and energy talking to those people. I understand. Why are you talking to social media? It's just so sad to see, especially in death. At the same time, they're all mourning the loss of John Amos.
Starting point is 00:31:35 You know what I mean? So yeah, I mean, I hope that they figure it out. And this makes the grieving process harder. Like nobody want to hear all that when they grieving. But you know, the sad thing about it, and they grieving you know but you know the
Starting point is 00:31:45 sad thing about it and i don't know if this is the exact thing but when somebody passes away everybody always looks in the finances too to see where that will is who gets this who gets that where does this go where does that go and that's a part of it as well i'm sure well we'll stay locked to figure out what's happening hopefully i can hear back from somebody because i did reach out and i can provide some more insight on something all right well that is just what the mess with lauren larosa now when come back, we got front page news. And then Yolanda Adams will be joining us. It's The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:32:08 Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Lawn LaRosa filling in for Jess. And let's get in some front page news. Start off quick with some sports. Thursday night football.
Starting point is 00:32:21 Tonight's Tampa Bay Buccaneers take on the Falcons at 8-15. Now, Major League Baseball, the wild card. The Tigers beat the Astros. The Royals beat the Orioles. football tonight the tampa fay buccaneers take on the falcons at 8 15 now major league baseball the wild card uh the tigers beat the astros the royals beat the orioles the mets lost to the brewers and the braves lost to the padres what's up morgan what's up is there's new details being released related to former president trump's alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election now in a court filing released on wed, yesterday, special counsel Jack Smith said Trump intentionally lied to former Vice President Mike Pence, state election officials and the public. The filing alleges Trump described some of the claims of election fraud as crazy behind closed doors. This all comes following the July ruling
Starting point is 00:33:02 of the Supreme Court on presidential immunity that found Trump isn't eligible for criminal prosecution for acts committed when he was in office. Now, last year, Trump pleaded not guilty to federal charges related to creating a criminal scheme to overturn the election results. Now, Trump's lawyers said the filing would improperly influence the election, and that violates the Department of Justice policies. Now, what we're also watching is what an official and unofficial act it has yet to be defined by the Supreme Court. So we're not sure if Trump was operating as a president during this whole overturning or if he was operating as a candidate.
Starting point is 00:33:37 So all of that remains to be determined. And I will, of course, keep you posted on all of that drama. Meanwhile, Ohio Senator and Trump's right-hand man, the Republican vice presidential nominee, J.D. Vance, he was back on the campaign trail in the swing state of Michigan following his VP debate, and he wasted no time slamming Vice President Harris. Let's hear from J.D. Vance in Michigan. And it is great to be in the state that I think is going to be pivotal to giving that I think is gonna be pivotal to giving us 270 electoral votes and making Donald Trump the next president of the United States. I feel a little bad for Governor Walz and the reason I feel bad
Starting point is 00:34:14 for him is because he has to defend the indefensible and that is the record of Kamala Harris. Vance said that he thought his debate with Minnesota Governor Tim Walz went pretty well. And he mentioned he spoke to former President Trump afterward, who congratulated him. Meanwhile, Democratic VP candidate Tim Walz, he went on a one-day bus tour through the swing state of Pennsylvania following the debate. Now, this all comes as Nielsen figures shows that 43 million people watched Tuesday's vice presidential debate hosted by CBS. And it was broadcasted across 15 different networks. 55 and up made the largest group of watchers with 29 million. A CBS poll found that 42% of respondents thought that Vance won the debate,
Starting point is 00:34:56 while 41% thought Walls won, and 17% said it was a tie. You know, it's interesting, like what you were talking about earlier with Donald Trump. Like, this is why folks think the attempted coup of this country was a joke, you know, because they didn't treat it like an attempted coup when it happened. They didn't treat Donald Trump like he was attempting to overturn the results of
Starting point is 00:35:17 an election. A coup wasn't enough for them to act. They didn't go after Trump. They didn't attempt to put him in jail when it mattered. So here we are in a position where we're trying to stop dictatorship through voting. And you don't stop a dictator through voting. You stop a dictator through laws. They didn't reinforce none of those laws.
Starting point is 00:35:33 And we're still trying to define them. So yeah, speaking of which, there's a lot going on locally, New York, but it's also impacting much of the East Coast, much of the Gulf Coast. So New York Governor Kathy Hochul, she says New York and New Jersey, they're trying to keep the supply chain moving as tens of thousands of dock workers go on strike. The governor says roughly 100,000 shipping containers are in limbo in the port of New
Starting point is 00:35:56 York and New Jersey alone. Let's hear from Governor Kathy Hochul. It's not time to be panicked buying groceries or other products because the port has worked really hard to move produce and other shipments off the containers, get them into the trucks and get them to their destination so they can move before the strike began. And we of course we encourage the parties to come to a speedy resolution that respects the rights of workers, to have a good pay, but also allows commerce to resume quickly. So this is the first large scale dock worker strike in 47 years with workers
Starting point is 00:36:30 fighting for better wages and protections against automation to ensure job security. Now, Governor Hochul says the state will be monitoring the strike and its local impacts. During those remarks, she also mentioned that she is continuing to monitor the Eric Adams administration, Mayor Eric Adams out of New York, following the resignation of Tim Pearson, who is one of Adams' top aides. Now, this comes as New York City Mayor Eric Adams, he is facing federal corruption charges and could be hit with more charges. Now, the feds have been investigating a number of Adams staff members and said in court that more people could be charged as a result of what's going on in that administration. In other news, jury deliberations are expected to start today in the Tyree Nichols murder trial. Former Memphis police officers Tadarius Bean, Demetrius Haley, and Justin Smith are on trial for the on-camera beating of Nichols during a traffic stop back in 2023 that ultimately led to his death as the trial was getting underway last month Nichols mom had this to say about her expectations
Starting point is 00:37:31 can we hear from Tyree Nichols mom our hope is that they're found guilty and to show the world that my son was a good person and he wasn't the criminal that they're trying to make him out to be. So two other officers have already accepted plea deals in exchange for their testimony. And, of course, I'm on Verdict Watch, and I'll let you know what happens as soon as a verdict drops.

Starting point is 00:38:07 I'm not a conspiracy theorist But what do you think about Just all of us in general What do you think about people saying that the U.S. port strike Is potentially the October surprise That could trip up the Vice President Kamala Harris Because they say Donald Trump has A really close relationship with the port strike leader
Starting point is 00:38:23 Harold Daggett. He's the leader of the International Association of, I think, the Longshoremen. So they're saying that this whole porch strike is the October surprise. Donald Trump saying, fall back for a little bit, let's cause a little craziness. I mean, at this point, I believe in almost...
Starting point is 00:38:40 I think so much stuff... I wouldn't be surprised. No, because it is crazy. Because like I said, yesterday I went to the store and there was no toilet paper. There was no paper towel. Red said there was no meat paws. I saw people in Delaware on Facebook saying
Starting point is 00:38:51 that like one of the big Walmarts had like shut down early, closed down early I guess because they didn't feel like dealing with all the people and they were running out of stuff or something. My friends were out striking
Starting point is 00:39:00 but also drinking too. I don't know. It's a lot going on. And of course, you know, it's pretty bad here as well in Baltimore. You know, we lost a whole bridge earlier this year. So these guys have been reeling from the effects of that. You know, and on top of this, this is, you know, this can't make it any better. But, yeah, nothing surprises me.
Starting point is 00:39:19 October surprise sounds about right. All right. Well, thank you, Morgan. Thank you. How can they follow you? Y'all can follow Morgan Media at Morgan Media, M-O-R-G-Y-N-M-E-D-I-A. And, of course, make sure y'all check out Black Information Network, BINnews.com. Thank y'all.
Starting point is 00:39:35 All right. When we come back, gospel singer, R&B singer Yolanda Adams will be joining us. She has a new album, Sunny Days, out right now. And we're going to kick it with Yolanda Adams. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. album sunny days out right now and we're gonna kick it with yolanda adams it's the breakfast club good morning the breakfast club morning everybody is dj nv just hilarious charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club jess is still on maternity leave so lauren la rosa's filling in and we got a special guest in the building her album sunny days the legendary right now
Starting point is 00:40:02 ladies and gentlemen yolandaolanda Adams. Welcome. Thank y'all for having me. How are you feeling this morning? Absolutely fantastic. Okay. This is your 14th album? Yeah, this is my 14th studio album. 14th studio album.
Starting point is 00:40:15 What goes through your head when you hear that? Wow. Gratefulness, appreciation that I'm still doing what I do, and loving the fact that folks still want to hear what I'm doing and that it still inspires them and gets them going and keeps them lifted up you know so yeah that's how I feel do you remember putting out your first album and how that felt and the fact I don't know if the industry was ready for gospel music the way it was well the industry wasn't ready for me because I wasn't like your typical gospel artist. I didn't look like everybody else. And, you know, folks kind of give me flack about that because I didn't grow up in a place where we couldn't wear makeup or we couldn't wear pants.
Starting point is 00:40:59 You know, in my house, it was cool to go to the skating rink with Jesus. So we went everywhere with god and so there were some people who are like well you shouldn't wear that lipstick and you shouldn't do this and you shouldn't do that and i was like hmm okay nah i'm good yeah i've never understood why uh religious people christians are so judgmental when the bible says thou shalt not judge well i think it's human nature when people don't understand, you know, other folks. Again, it's all in the way you were raised because my parents were real cool. So I wasn't raised with limitation.
Starting point is 00:41:37 As a matter of fact, my mom and dad told us that everything is possible for us. And so when I went into the actual solo part of gospel music, it took me aback for a little while because I'm like, oh, so y'all can't do, I won't. So in order to be a gospel artist, you can't do this, this, this, and that, and the other. And I'm like, nah, I'm not going to be that kind of gospel artist. But your mom was a ministry of music in the church. her church because i know when i go to church with my grandmother you you can't wear pants you can't do certain things to this day and i have to
Starting point is 00:42:10 just go with that your mom's church didn't have those rooms even though she didn't we were baptized okay so you know the deacons would smoke outside so we can watch out burning bush it was still calling it dope back then no so that's why no it was it was cigarettes i was gonna ask you know we're growing up in the church how much pressure was that you know because being a kid growing up in the church everything seemed perfect right they wanted everything to be perfect and if it wasn't perfect it seems like they shamed you back then and what kept you grounded because even going to college usually the church girls with a wildest they were the ones that no longer on the leash but again here we go i wasn't restricted in anything in my life so
Starting point is 00:43:08 i went to the dances you know i hung out at the house parties and stuff like that when i was younger so i didn't have that restriction and so when i got to college i didn't have to wild out because it's like oh y'all doing that? Oh, child, please. You know, I don't know why that happens. I think it's in a person to try to test the waters. And then when they find out, oh, it ain't that wonderful. Then they go back into their little shell and it's up, you know. How do you feel about the church nowadays?
Starting point is 00:43:41 Because if you test the waters, certain churches and certain congreg congregations like they almost like condemn people for certain things well and here and you you did say certain churches which is i'm glad you said that because certain churches have this and certain religions have a an idea that you're supposed to be so high up here that and I've never gotten that whole concept of the super religious kind of thing because I didn't have to be that. All I had to do was be myself. And God loved me for being myself, not a pretend Yolanda, because I've never been good at pretending. So, you know, except when I'm acting. But but I think nowadays the view of that comes from people who are outside looking in, not people inside certain churches, you know, because you're not at your best you're not as good as them and stuff like i get that now i'm like big old 63 year old i get that now you know people take me why you wear that why are you doing this and why are you showing up here and why are you because i'm grown
Starting point is 00:44:57 how does that make you feel though because it's been going on for so long yeah but but again i mean i will never see those people. I will never experience them. They will never come to my house. They will never come to the barbecue. So you can't get so emotionally attached to negativity that you stop being you and you stop living and you stop living your life the way you live your life. You know, so it's like they like they gonna be fine because i'm fine why do why do people give you so much smoke for your outfits like i'm like what is miss adams wearing that looks so crazy i don't well i don't get i'm like i've never seen you
Starting point is 00:45:35 late great daryl coley said something from the stage one time he said y'all mad cuz y'all can't wear it mmm that's real so I don't you know and I think because they talk like you sexy right it's loot the sexy right well you know she listens to the music so I'm you know I have nothing against her but it's like some people are uncomfortable with you being comfortable in your skin and I'm extremely comfortable in my skin. And I have been for a long, long time, which is why I said, don't don't fall for the negativity. Don't, you know, there because there will be so many people who applaud you and are in your corner and want you to make it and want you to succeed that the two three or 40 opposed to two million it's like i'm gonna hang out with the two million that's right rather than the 40 you know you said
Starting point is 00:46:34 something that's not as very important you said you've always been comfortable in your own skin when did you get to that point because you know just the way you present aesthetically you're tall you're beautiful when you walk in the room everybody like oh who that so i know that makes people uncomfortable so when did you get comfortable being making people uncomfortable i think i think because i've always been a tall kid and my parents always talked about how amazing stature and grace and elegance is i I think I really got a hold to it probably in my 20s. You know, after I graduated college and I had some stuff under my belt and it's like, okay, yeah, I'm going to take on the world. And when you're taking on the world, you can't have that
Starting point is 00:47:21 insecurity of, well, how will it feel feel and how will they accept me and how will they do this how will they do them like now you you gotta get out there yeah so it was yeah in my 20s absolutely all right we got more with yolanda adams when we come back don't move it's the breakfast club good morning everybody it's dj nv jess hilarious charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club laura rosa's filling in for Jess. And we're still kicking it with Yolanda Adams. Her album, Sunny Days, is out right now. Charlamagne?
Starting point is 00:47:51 What is Yolanda Adams' definition of a sunny day? Oh my gosh. My definition of a sunny day is a day where I feel so good about myself, about what I'm doing, about my purpose. As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going.
Starting point is 00:48:37 This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best and you're going to figure out

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 unhurts the plot to murder a one-woman Wikileaks. Daphne exposed the culture of crime and corruption
Starting point is 00:52:32 that were turning her beloved country into a mafia state. And she paid the ultimate price. Listen to Crooks Everywhere on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And also about the climate of the world. You know, you have to be optimistic to really look at where we are right now and say, but there's something good that's going to come out of this. And so that's what I wanted to do with this project, because it took us four years to actually finish the project. We started it in 2018. And then all of a sudden,
Starting point is 00:53:17 Jim Jam and Terry Lewis got busy. Donald Lawrence got busy. All of the producers got busy. I got busy. And then there was the pandemic. And so that stopped a lot of things. And then Kingdom Business, we started filming that. You know, we had seasons one and two. We had to film. Then all of a sudden, I'm like, okay, all right, all right. We've got to get this album done. So it finally got done this year.
Starting point is 00:53:43 And I'm just so really excited about that. With non-gospel artists, they go into a studio, maybe it's a heartbreak or they do indulgence, smoking, drinking, whatever to get them. For gospel artists, is it that you're praying deep in the spirit? Where does that come from for you guys? Oh, it comes from the same experiences. Of course, we're not
Starting point is 00:53:59 getting high trying to figure out what God's doing but nobody found that funny but me it is from the earth oh I get what you did there we're not getting drunk trying to figure out what God is doing because they be trying to figure out what their man got going on okay heard you okay thank you thank you so much no uh it comes from the experiences that we're having in our lives because you figure we got eight plus billion people in the world. So at least a million got to be going through what you're going through. And so if you're
Starting point is 00:54:30 making a business decision, if you're making a relationship decision, if you're making a moving, you know, geographical moving decision, all decisions for us, you know, we have to ask God, okay, is this real? Is this me? Or is this you? Or do I just want this for me? And you know we have to ask god okay is this real is this me or is this you or do i just want this for me and you know a lot of times god said okay if you want it for you let's do it you know god is not that is interesting i've been writing down yeah yeah because because god is not trying to keep you stuck as a matter of fact he wants the best for you always. And I think people have fashioned God in so many ways that it's confusing to people when they see someone, you know, like me, who has this relationship with God where it's like real cool. Hey, God, we're doing we're doing the breakfast club this morning. Yeah, I know. I'll be there with you.
Starting point is 00:55:22 You know, that kind of thing. And I believe if we would give people room to grow with God, that they'll find God on their own. And they'll find God is so loving and so kind on their own that they don't have to be pushed into, yeah, go on and do this. Go do that. You won't have to be pushed to do anything you'll want to from the bottom of your heart you want to love people you want to share his goodness you want to share a smile you know that kind of thing now you were trending uh about a week ago two weeks ago woody mcclain yes when you were trending when people were calling you did you know what it was right away and did not you did not so what was your mind thoughts when you seen Woody McLean doing the video? Well, here's the thing about the video.
Starting point is 00:56:11 We actually did the video together. We were there on set together. And, you know, Woody is Woody. I mean, that's Bobby Brown. Right, right, right, right. So, you know, we know he's a great artist and just all around great guy but people were talking as though it was the power woody how is it that yolanda is you know because people are mad at him okay and you know that character yeah they're they're mad at him so they forget he's
Starting point is 00:56:40 acting yeah because and and that's the thing how do you forget that this man is acting he's not the same character in that video that he is on power so what is that i didn't get that and so this generation of god's children are a little slow and my daughter had to explain to me well you know he's kind of a bad character on power i'm like like, yeah, but that's just his job. He as a person, he's a man of faith. When they told, when the record company said, we have Woody for the video. I was like, yes, because I remember the Bobby Brown Woody. I haven't watched Power enough to know that character. I'm like season one Power.
Starting point is 00:57:26 Do you feel like Jermaine Dupri recently had some comments we have the audio so if you want to hear but he recently said that because the younger artists aren't walking through those church doors do you feel like that is affecting music the fact that you like like you said people aren't may not ever walk through those church doors but it could still hit them in their heart is that possible or you feel like these artists need to get back in church well i think what he meant is that the producers who are doing the producing have to have that background to know um how to bring in the tenors how to bring in your altos you know to make that full effective sound We all know the difference between church musicians and regular musicians who did not
Starting point is 00:58:09 get that training, because here's the thing about church. Church trains you because you have a an audience that can't go nowhere for like two, three hours. And so you get that on the job training that you wouldn't get just, you know, in your basement, you know, mixing just you know in your basement you know mixing and trying to do your thing so you you learn how to capture an audience and I think that is what's missing as well because these kids don't have that type of experience until they get in front of audiences and most of them don't know what to do.
Starting point is 00:58:45 I watched Saturday Night Live, the young lady who had this huge song during the pandemic about, you know, driving down the street and stuff like that. And she made a song on her computer in her room and it blew up. It went viral like a billion times. They immediately put her on Saturday Night Live. She's not ready for that. And it was obvious that she had not had the training. And if we go back even to the Motown days and the Stax days,
Starting point is 00:59:21 there was artist development. They don't have that anymore. And that's the thing that i believe jermaine was talking about as well they do not have artist development artist development for us as people who attended church and grew up in the church we grew up in the choir or either the band or something like that you had that every sunday every thursday when you had rehearsals you had the chance to you know be corrected and you know and and make it right and so i know i definitely know we got to bring that artist development back uh and then the other thing that you miss is that
Starting point is 00:59:58 that heart and soul that's right you you can only get that heart and soul when you're connect if you're not connected to your source you will miss you know you may sound amazing but there will be this emptiness that is very obvious that you know it's like uh maybe you need to you know get a little quiet get get some peace or you know do some yoga or whatever you do all right we got more with yolanda adams when we come back matter of fact let's get into a joint off your album what you want to hear oh my gosh uh play on god on god all right well here it is it's yolanda adams on god it's the breakfast club good morning morning everybody we are the breakfast club we're still kicking it with yolanda adams now i got a question do you look at music how you look at acting right
Starting point is 01:00:41 so there's certain music you're not going to sing because you don't you don't stand by it right but do you look at that as acting as well like is there parts that you say that doesn't fit my quote-unquote persona but it is acting so you're really taking yourself out of your person and being somebody else like would Yolanda Adams ever be like a a drug king queen like Mary J Blige and Power. Would you play that part? Would you play certain parts that don't necessarily fit your persona? Now, I wouldn't be a drug dealer or a queen pen, but I like meaty roles. That's why I took on
Starting point is 01:01:14 Danita Jordan. Because although we're gospel artists and family women, she's cutthroat. And I'm the total opposite. I let people live. Because I think God can get you better than I can.
Starting point is 01:01:35 So I would like to do a role like Murder, She Wrote. I'd like to be a detective. That involves gore. But that's still a positive side. Would you be on the other side of that? Would you be the murderer? You know what? I don't know. no one's ever asked me that question what if he was killing people who were possessed by the devil there's this movie called frailty right you've seen the movie frailty no i have not frailty is about that where this guy was they thought he was a serial killer but
Starting point is 01:01:57 literally god was giving him visions and the people he was killing wow were bad people and oh yes people that killed their mom like terrible people oh wow and it was all rooted in his faith for god he had i'm gonna have to research that yeah i don't know if god just wants you to kill people you know people don't even come to you with those separate like you don't have to turn down that stuff they don't even come no no no i don't have to yeah yeah i don't have to turn down those but i I did have to turn down a record deal when I was making the transition from one gospel label to, you know, a secular label. This guy was like, yeah, we're going to turn you into this this mega this. And I'm like, OK, so how is that going to be possible?
Starting point is 01:02:40 Well, the first thing you're going to have is you're gonna have to learn how to butterfly can you imagine me doing the butter as long as i am he was serious he was serious we were in london he was serious to He was serious. We were in London. He was serious. To the praise and worship he was. No. He was, yeah, it was going to be like, you know, it was going to be crossover. It was, yeah, kind of crossover, infusion, whatever. I'm like, nah. Was that Jamaican gospel?
Starting point is 01:03:15 Was that Caribbean gospel? We never found out. My last question is, do you feel because of your faith and because you do gospel music that you get put in a box? Oh, they tried years ago. I mean, they really tried years ago. OK, so we're going to put you in this little comfortable space and blah, blah, blah. And I'm like, I think we're bigger than that because God is bigger than that. There's so many things that we could talk about God being bigger than.
Starting point is 01:03:41 I mean, he is ultimate. So if God is everywhere at the same time, blessing everyone and, you know, holding the world together, why would I allow someone who has a small view of God to crush my big view of God, knowing that I've lived long enough to see the bigness and the hugeness of God. So I'm telling you, it started when I was a teenager because I started singing in a choir. We were going all over the country and stuff. And then I had my first Billboard song at 17. And I realized at that time, wow, I like this. I like doing this. And then I would see Tremaine Hawkins and Shirley Caesar and people like that doing it for a living. I'm like, okay,
Starting point is 01:04:33 God, well, however you got to do that, let's do that. And I saw the kind of box they tried to put Tremaine in when she started singing solo, aside the hawkins family she had this amazing song you guys were probably too young to remember she had this amazing song called fall down on me and it was talking about the holy spirit but she had a couple of dancers and kevin bond who was amazing was on one of the little uh piano things running around, you know, and it was a joyful song. Nothing disrespectful. And they gave her grief about that. And I'm like, wow. So I've seen that happen to other people and I refuse to let it happen to me. I love God's timing in my life. It's always been about his timing and me wanting
Starting point is 01:05:26 his time because years later, I'm sitting here with the Breakfast Club discussing my 14th project. You know, we should be with Yolanda Adams discussing her 14th project. But think about it, though. If I had gotten mad at the producer who says, you'll never sell more than this guy you'll never sell more than that guy because there was a whole bunch of chauvinism in gospel music way back then and instead of getting like upset you know fighting back I just like I've taken my hands off of it and I've outsold those men. Some of them are gone home to be with the Lord and I'm still here. Look, I got. So I know what that feels like. like a Tasha and like Kiki Sheard and all of the young people who I've mentored over the years
Starting point is 01:06:28 that you don't have to be anybody but you and you stand your ground. If you want to sing a song that somebody may not agree with, you sing that song because somebody out there is going to be touched by that song. I mean, Open My Heart is one of those songs that you guys have played for years. And we just celebrated, what, 25, 26 years of Open My Heart? And I can't go anywhere in the world and not sing that song. Wow. So, yeah. Well, let's love, value, and appreciate you, Ms. Adams.
Starting point is 01:07:02 Oh, I know you. And before we leave, we just ask, like, you know, can you give us a prayer before we leave absolutely i would love that lord we are just so grateful and thankful that you have allowed us this time to spend together it's been so amazing to be with these wonderful young people who are doing your work on a daily basis. They make us laugh. They make us think they make us want to be better people. And so, God, I ask right now that you give them the desires of their heart, whatever those secret desires are that they haven't told anybody, give them to them and just bless their socks off God and give them more years, as many years as they want. But more than anything, make them grateful for this platform that you've given them. Because it changes the world.
Starting point is 01:07:51 Amen. Amen. Yolanda Adams, ladies and gentlemen, thank you for joining us so much. No problem. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy.
Starting point is 01:07:59 Jess Hilarious. Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to Jess with the mess with Lauren LaRosa. The news is real. We're with Jessica Lawrence, Jessica Robin Moore. Jess don't do no lying. She don't spell nobody.
Starting point is 01:08:13 Worldwide Jess, worldwide mess. On The Breakfast Club. She's a coach of shit. With Lauren, Lauren LaRosa. I'm back. And I got the mess. Talk to me. So, our potential first gentleman, Doug, Kamala Harris' husband, is all over the headlines right now.
Starting point is 01:08:36 He is accused of slapping his ex-girlfriend. This is an ex-girlfriend from 2012. He's accused of slapping her so hard in the face that she spun around in a valet line. And this is according to three close friends. In aet line so he was outside yes uh this is according to three close friends um of this woman now these three friends told the daily mail that uh back in 2012 their friend had met doug they met on like match.com they went out for a date like a casual match.com date bar grab some food grab some drinks some drinks, and they begin dating. They were dating for about three months when they decided to go to the Femme Festival in Cairns together. Now, during this Femme Festival or after the Femme Festival, and they were, you know, allegedly, according to the friends, drinking, having a good time inside.
Starting point is 01:09:18 So they were lit after the Femme Festival. They were in a valet line and they were waiting for valet. But the line was so long this woman who is uh listed as a successful attorney in this article was like you know what i'm tired of waiting in this line so she went up to the valet and she tipped the valet guy or tried to give the valet guy 100 bucks so that they could skip the line and i guess put his her hand on his shoulder when she put her hand on his shoulder doug then approached and according to the friends that is when he slapped her because he was upset and took it as she was flirting with the valet person so
Starting point is 01:09:49 when that happened her first instinct she immediately slapped him back and then she hopped into a cab and was trying to get away from him like trying to leave without him but according to the friends from what she told them he then forced his way into the cab now while in the cab the friends say that the woman got on the phone and called another friend another attorney friend who is the second source in this in this story and she told the attorney friend what happened and she said that she was and i guess the friend is like well where is he at and she's like he's right here next to me i called you though because i didn't feel safe and i felt like getting on the phone with someone him seeing me on
Starting point is 01:10:21 the phone with someone would make me feel safe um so the friend is just you know talking to her trying to calm her down because a friend says she was like crying really upset at the time um and then they get off the phone and then later on because she couldn't really talk because now her dog dug her in the uh cab together on their way back to wherever hotel they were staying at um later on she then told her friends more about the situation and she said that he never even apologized in the cab. He only commented back about the slap that she gave him. And he made like some tennis metaphor saying, don't worry about it. You got one across the court and down the line.
Starting point is 01:10:54 Now, she did detail to the friends and, you know, had just been talking to friends about when they met like she said when they met i guess in the beginning of the three months she would have never guessed that he was somebody that would have put his hands on her um she was completely surprised even the friends in this article quoted their time together as like you know kind of like a fairy tale thing like he was a great guy they dated uh he even brought allegedly according to the friends she met the the ex-girlfriend met the son his son Doug's son on their first date um because I guess they went to this bar and the son was like somewhere local so they all went back to a home and were like just you know chilling there together or whatever uh so I think that they thought that this was going to turn into something more but
Starting point is 01:11:37 at that night when that happened uh the woman broke up with him because you know she was like I'm not going on with this now all of this is following an interview that Doug with did Doug did with Jen Psaki um where she called him the perception of masculinity and in this interview she talks a lot about how you know it's so admirable that he allows Kamala to be you know Kamala she's VP and he's first man and he's supporting her and this is you know how men should be and he's he's responding a's supporting her. And this is, you know, how men should be. And he's he's responding a lot with like, you know, this is the right thing to do. You should be a supportive spouse.
Starting point is 01:12:09 Women should be looked at as equal, not lesser than. So then all these reports came out. And then now these reports are being coupled with the reports that came out a while back that Doug had cheated on his wife previous to Kamala. And he did attest to that. He released a statement saying that he did step outside of their marriage and that it was with a nanny of the kids. With their nanny? With their nanny who was like working at the private school that the kids was going to and that they had worked, moved past it and came out on the other side.
Starting point is 01:12:37 There are reports that that nanny had gotten pregnant within that time, but she didn't decide to keep the baby. Is that true? Is is that factual I have no confirmation of that and all of the articles only point to that being a report and as a kid I really do remember having these dreams and visions but you just don't know what is going to come for you Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step.
Starting point is 01:13:18 And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best.
Starting point is 01:13:37 And you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before.

There are crooks everywhere you look now. The situation is desperate.
Starting point is 01:17:05 My name is Manuel Delia. I am one of the hosts of Crooks Everywhere, a podcast that unhurts 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. Listen to Crooks everywhere on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts,
Starting point is 01:17:31 or wherever you get your podcasts. It was not confirmed in his statement because he didn't address that. He just addressed the fact that he did cheat in the marriage. And reports also say that you know kamala was made aware of this when they first started dating they also let uh biden's team know about this when he first reached out to kamala to be his vp pick but this whole slapping ex-girlfriend thing this is this is a new one we haven't heard from anybody on this one yet oh the election is 32 days away and it's
Starting point is 01:18:03 october so you're gonna hear a lot of wild stories over the next 30 days about both sides. Okay, so a story like that, right-wing media outlets will probably take it and run with it. Left-wing media outlets
Starting point is 01:18:12 will ignore it. You think they were holding it? Because it seems like for him to slap somebody, it seems like this shit came out when she was running for vice president.
Starting point is 01:18:19 And I want to say, too, not to cut y'all off, but... Or when she was running for president. Because I know people are going to try to say this as like,
Starting point is 01:18:29 oh, well, this is happening now because where Kamala is these yeah but these three friends want to make it clear that uh in 2018 when kamala went viral for going in on um brett kavanaugh they uh she had told the friends then when it happened and i guess that there were conversations then about coming out to the media but they decided not to then but so i'm just surprised that you know when she was running for president what four years ago that it didn't come out during that time you know the election is 32 days away and it's october once again you're gonna hear a lot of wild stories over the next 30 days about both sides so the story like that you're gonna see right-wing media outlets run with it and left-wing media outlets will probably ignore it should he address it? I think he does have to address this.
Starting point is 01:19:05 I don't think so. Why not? Hitting a woman with the image that they have been painting him as this supportive man. Well, both.
Starting point is 01:19:11 That and the alleged pregnancy of the nanny. Well, I don't think you have to address the pregnancy because he did say that he stepped outside the marriage.
Starting point is 01:19:17 I don't see what addressing a pregnancy adds to that. But I do think he needs to speak to this. I mean, if it happened, I don't know what will happen.
Starting point is 01:19:25 How do you prove it happened? No, I'm saying if he comes out and to this. I mean, and if it happened, I don't know how that, what will happen. But how do you prove it happened? No, I'm saying if he comes out and says, you know what, that did happen. And I went and got work. I mean, not got work,
Starting point is 01:19:31 but I went and, you know, did the work, whatever he decides to say. I don't know how that affects Kamala, but I think you, you gotta say something. I wouldn't speak on it.
Starting point is 01:19:38 Well, the woman that he allegedly slapped, didn't say anything. She declined to comment. The one that she declined to comment. So, so why should he? He addressed that. He said a precedent. You addressed the the the cheating allegation so if you don't address this i mean
Starting point is 01:19:50 no he did he gave a statement to cnn yeah i never even heard that story if she didn't come out why why would he i would say you know because at the end of the day if she didn't come out she might be triggered i'm not going to talk about something that's going to traumatize somebody else i'm not saying anything either well her okay and it's a distraction to your wife's campaign. Distraction's already there now, though. But I mean, we'll just have to wait to see. We'll just have to wait to see. You know what's even crazier?
Starting point is 01:20:12 In the grand scheme of things, with all of the things that's circulating around presidential candidates, especially Trump, that's light. That ain't even light. I know it's on the front page of the New York Post this morning and I know Fox News will probably run with it. But that that actually is light in the grand scheme of things. Yeah. Well, we'll wait to see what happens if it even affects Kamala and also to if he speaks up. Well, it's light because I think people are shocked by it. Like if this was Donald Trump, they wouldn't be shocked by it.
Starting point is 01:20:39 They'd be like, oh, I don't I don't think anything is shocking no more. I think we live in an era where everything causes outrage and everything seems shocking. Therefore, nothing is really outrageous and nothing is shocking. What's the last thing you actually heard in the news where you were like, oh my God. Especially in politics. Oh. You said politics. No, no, no.
Starting point is 01:20:56 The baby oil. That was shocking. No. It was hilarious. There's a difference. We are not going to down a baby oil slippery rabbit hole. No. We are going to wrap this up.
Starting point is 01:21:04 There's a difference. And hopefully they wrapped it up too. It's shocking y'all that's it for the second hour all right that was just hilarious uh that was just with the mess with laura la rosa now who you giving your donkey to he does a man named cody adams uh he needs to come to the front of the congregation i have a theory man and that theory is rockstar needs to come to the front of the congregation. I have a theory, man, and that theory is Rockstar needs to push Grand Theft Auto 6 up, okay? Because people out here practicing. Real life practicing for GTA. We'll discuss. All right, we'll get to that next.
Starting point is 01:21:31 It's the Breakfast Club. Come on. You're checking out the Breakfast Club. This don't be a donkey, because right now you want some real donkey shit. It's time for Donkey of the Day. So if you ever feel I need to be a donkey, man, hit it with the heel. Did she get donkey in, please tell me? Absolutely.
Starting point is 01:21:48 I have become donkey of the day. It's a breakfast club, bitches. We're donkey. Yes, donkey of the day for Thursday, October 3rd goes to an Oklahoma man named Cody Adams. Let me tell you something. I woke up feeling rested this morning, but at some point I got tired again. And I realized that I got tired because the news is draining okay it just is because back in the day they would say if it bleeds it leads and nowadays people can bleed without being cut because the new blood is
Starting point is 01:22:14 stupidity which in a lot of ways i'm thankful for because donkey of the day is a segment that gives people the credit they deserve for being stupid okay and i've done donkey of the day five times a week since December 2010. So I just want to tell all you jackasses, thank you. Drop on the clues bombs for all the jackasses out there. Okay, even though it is draining. And this morning was one of those mornings where I took two fingers and I squeezed right between my eyes like this.
Starting point is 01:22:38 And I said, Lord have mercy. Okay, people can't be this stupid, but they are. Okay, see, Cody Adams is a man who is is doing court on charges of possessing a stolen vehicle. Listen to what I said. He was doing court on charges of possessing a stolen vehicle, but he doesn't have a car, which is clear, right? Because he had to steal one. Didn't I just tell you yesterday or the day before? don't remember one day this week didn't i just tell you how much of a luxury having a car is didn't i tell you that some people would appreciate that 2016 nissan altima you take it for granted well cody is one of those people because he didn't have a car and you know when you're facing serious charges like possession of a stolen vehicle you have to get the court to handle that you can't just miss your court date and cody adams clearly understood that because he
Starting point is 01:23:25 did what he had to do in order to make it to court to face his charges of possession of a stolen vehicle would you like to know how cody got the court to face his possession of a stolen vehicle charge let's go to news 5 abc for the report please this is cody adams shortly after oklahoma highway patrol troopers arrested him near the Pawnee County Courthouse. OHP says earlier Adams was at a gas station in Stillwater asking people for a ride to his court date in Pawnee. When he couldn't find a ride, OHP says Adams decided to hop in this unoccupied LifeNet emergency services vehicle and drive himself to court. That was left on, running and unattended. They say Adams took the truck on that 30-minute drive to Pawnee and then ditched it. First responders had an idea of where
Starting point is 01:24:11 the vehicle might be headed to. A trooper caught him as he was walking into the courthouse. Adams saying he was just borrowing the truck. The trooper did. I believe he made sure that he made his court date. Now he still did make his court case again ohp says after court he was transported back to the payne county jail and booked on new charges if you're just joining us cody adams stole an ambulance to make it to his court case for possession of a stolen car please please please rockstar games push up the release date for grand theft auto 6 this is why all of these situations are happening because folks have a gta itch that needs to be scratched between the guy who stole the car from the woman while she was in the middle of the
Starting point is 01:24:55 sobriety test to this guy cody adams stealing an ambulance to make it to his court case for possession of a stolen car these people are practicing for gta they are trying to beat the high score in real life grand theft auto push the release date up rockstar please now the first thing i did when i heard this story was google if uber is available in oklahoma and the answer is hell yes okay it's available in several cities in oklahoma tulsa oklahoma city edmond lawton then i went to look and see what other ride shares are available in Oklahoma. They got ones I never heard of. Of course, they got Uber. They got Lyft.
Starting point is 01:25:28 But they got pick transportation. Never heard of that. They got curb. Never heard of that. They got beer. Never heard of that. They got wings. Never heard of that.
Starting point is 01:25:35 They got flywheel. I never heard of any of those except Uber and Lyft. The point I'm making is there was absolutely zero. I mean absolutely positively zero. When I say zero, I'm talking about the number Russell Westbrook wore when he played for the OKC Thunder for 10 seasons. There was zero reason to steal an ambulance. Now, I don't know this man's financial situation.
Starting point is 01:25:57 I don't know what Cody got in his pockets. But if I couldn't afford a ride share, then I damn sure couldn't afford to steal an ambulance. Stealing an ambulance would cost you way more than just paying for a ride share then I damn sure couldn't afford to steal an ambulance okay stealing an ambulance would cost you way more than just paying for a ride share look man maybe Cody felt the courtroom wasn't close enough so why taking uber when you can get a lights and sirens escort that you drive yourself I don't know I just try to make sense of these things sometimes because I don't want to believe everybody is just stupid but there is some very bad
Starting point is 01:26:22 choices being made by a lot of people in our society once again the ambulance costs you way more than the ride share so why would you choose to pay that type of price because now you're in jail you gotta pay for bond then you gotta pay for a lawyer if you had a job you was missing work probably gonna get fired it just costs too much anyone who ever said crime pays is a damn liar okay crime costs and it's usually a price that's too high to pay let's look at the bright side though you pulled up to a court uh you pulled up to a court case for possession of a stolen vehicle in a stolen vehicle a stolen ambulance to be exact maybe he thought this could double as a getaway vehicle and a ride to the er when
Starting point is 01:27:02 the judge faints from laughing because Because we're all chuckling right now. Some donkey of the days just sell themselves. Please let Remy Ma give Cody Adams the biggest hee-haw. Hee-haw, hee-haw. You stupid mother f***er. You dumb. Alright. What a strange world we live in.
Starting point is 01:27:22 It really is. I am a land star. Maybe he thought that they was going to be like, well, you made it so we'll give you a get out of jail free card. But you stole the ambulance? I just don't even know why your brain works like that. You're going to court for possession of a stolen vehicle and you steal another
Starting point is 01:27:38 vehicle? What probably happened? An ambulance at that? What's up with your brain? What probably happened? He didn't do this. He didn't do the little finger thing by the eye. When you're having problems thinking, you gotta do this. He probably said, God, give me a sign. And boom, ambulance right through.
Starting point is 01:27:52 That was on. He said, this is my sign. Satan got a kingdom too. Y'all do know that, right? Satan got a kingdom too. And I think Satan got the same sense of humor God got. Okay? Because that's just hysterical. We're going to put the ambulance right here, leave the keys on running. He know he got to go to court for possession of a stolen vehicle.
Starting point is 01:28:09 Let's see if his dumb ass steals it. They down in hell making bets. Okay? Satan, Hitler, they all down there making bets on what this guy going to do. You see what I'm saying? I wonder who won. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey today.
Starting point is 01:28:23 Now, when we come back, Toosie will be joining us. We're going to kick it with Toosie when we come back. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
Starting point is 01:28:36 We are The Breakfast Club. Jess is on maternity leave, so Lauren LaRosa is filling in. We got a special guest in the building. This album comes out this Friday. Ladies and gentlemen, Toosie's back in the building. How you feeling? How you feeling, brother? Bless Black and highly favored, man.
Starting point is 01:28:51 He said something surprising just behind the scenes. He said he's probably the only person in this world that's never been to a Diddy Freak-Off. He just got into the game. He just got into the game. He just got into the game. Don't give this man no love. I will not. The only thing I was hoping because I just seen y' him. He don't care. That's exactly why you don't give this man no love. I'm alive.
Starting point is 01:29:05 The only thing I was hoping, because I just seen y'all. The last interview, I had the baby oil and shit. I'm like, I just hope I don't come in here and they got the baby oil. It's right there. And you wanted to take it? No. But honestly, he said, I'm probably the only artist that F's with Charlamagne. And then as soon as you come in, he starts with that.
Starting point is 01:29:23 Yeah, nah. That's not my thing. But you just got into the game, so you probably didn't get an opportunity to do it. Hell nah. I don't know nothing about none of that. Hell nah. Hell nah. I don't know nothing about none of that.
Starting point is 01:29:34 He's staying far away. But Jaded, man, new project. That's right. Why that title? Man, honestly, I was at a point in my life where I was just tired and bored with everything that was going on. I felt like my music kind of was reflecting it at first. And then I kind of just sat and looked at the world.
Starting point is 01:29:50 And I was like, the world kind of in a jaded space as well right now. Everybody kind of tired and bored with everything that's going on. Ain't no music really sticking. There's nothing that's really lasting. So I'm like, why not call the album Jaded? How do you even make that kind of music anymore? How do you make the music thataded? How do you even make that kind of music anymore? Like, how do you make the music that sticks?
Starting point is 01:30:06 I don't even know, regardless of how good something is, I don't even know if people's attention spans. Yeah, that's the thing. Cause I don't lie. I heard some records this year that I feel like should have like, should have really did it.
Starting point is 01:30:18 Like there's some great songs out there, but I mean, I feel like, uh, the internet just made everybody so equal. That's right. You know, and it changed, you feel like the internet just made everybody so equal. That's right. And it changed a lot about superstar status. So I don't know.
Starting point is 01:30:31 It's hard. You seem like when I listen to Jaded, it feels to me like you still focus on making records for radio, for mass appeal. I think that's a lost art. I try to make international records. I want to make music that people can sing around the world. Even if I go to, whether it's Asia, Australia, wherever I go, they can vibe with the record. You feel me?
Starting point is 01:30:55 Instead of it just being popcorn music, I ain't trying to make records for TikTok. It could go on TikTok. It could go on TikTok. But I'm not trying to make records for TikTok. I'm trying to make hit records that last forever. I want to be on the Billboard Top 200 charts for 683 weeks, like the Drakes and the Sizzas.
Starting point is 01:31:13 SZA, fire. Artists like that. It's some real talented artists out here. And they don't got to do much. SZA don't got to do much. Whenever she drops, she going to go hard. Do you feel the pressure to match your success success of your last album because it went gold like it was just so I'm sorry yeah this favorite song alone went four times platinum uh-huh do you ever feel like
Starting point is 01:31:35 oh that's gonna be hard to do again I gotta get there nah not really because at the end of the day like you know like Charlamagne said I'm at the end of the day I'm Tusi so like we can't never take away from the fact that I'm Tusi like at the end of the day, I'm Tootsie. So, like, we can't ever take away from the fact that I'm Tootsie. Like, at the end of the day, I gave the people a great record. And, you know, in due time, whenever it come, like, we got time to make great records, you know. And we have great records. It's just about, you know, when it catch the people eye. And when it catch the people eye, it's just gonna, you know, it's gonna have its time. So, I don't ever try to match and be like, damn, how I'm gonna do this again?
Starting point is 01:32:02 Because it's gonna happen. You know, I'm blessed. It's going to happen. And good for you for doing a record with Gunna, man. Not worrying about all that goofy ass street rules that don't apply to music. That don't apply to music. And that's my thing. I don't give a damn about no street politics and all that.
Starting point is 01:32:18 I don't get into that. If I wanted to do that, I'd still be out here doing what I was doing. I got a kid and all that. I ain't trying to be caught up in no street politics yeah i do that ain't nobody that's that's worth no bees out here focusing on no street politics street politics is punk man that was never a thought when you said that you just like oh he fits this record i'm gonna reach out to him was never no for sure yeah yeah when he did the record it was more so like i appreciate it i mean me and gunna got some some records together so and you know a couple months ago
Starting point is 01:32:45 you and Shaq got into it what was that about man you called Shaq a weird ass old head cause he got in your baby mama DM a couple of months ago
Starting point is 01:32:53 a year ago how long ago was that a while ago not too long ago but see that's the thing yeah it was like it was a long time ago it was last year though right
Starting point is 01:33:00 but I haven't been I've been put up I haven't been doing no interviews so like that's really like the last I've been put up for real you've been put up I've been put, I've been put up. I haven't been doing no interviews. So like, that's really like the last, I've been put up for real. So like,
Starting point is 01:33:06 that's what I put up. I've been put up. I've been in the crib. That wasn't me. I don't know when it was. It was a while ago. Yeah. I've been in the crib for like seven months.
Starting point is 01:33:15 I ain't been doing no interviews. No, no dropping no music, no nothing. I've been in the crib seven months. Last year was hectic for me. I needed some time with my family. I mean,
Starting point is 01:33:24 but he ain't put no comma in his sentence. You feel me? He said, let me have that baby talking about. So I'm like, I don't know. What did he talk about? And me, like, when it come to my son, like, I'm overprotective when it come to my son. So, like, when I read it, I'm like, what you you? You thought he wanted your baby.
Starting point is 01:33:41 I'm like, what you mean? It's a lot of weird shit going on right now. You you want my it's a lot of weird going on right now you feel me it's a lot of weird going on so when he said what he said i'm like what you mean you want my but if i would have knew he was talking about my baby mom like because like at the end of the day like i'm the type person like if a woman if a woman goes she goes she ain't for you if a woman goes she's she gonna go she ain't for you but i thought he was talking about my son when i read that so if i would have knew he was talking about my bm i don't lie i swear to god i never would have said did y'all speak after who me and shaq we ain't never spoke me and shaq ain't never supposed man shaq shaq works some a beer or something he ain't trying to speak to me man
Starting point is 01:34:16 so you thought he really could afford to be you thought man my son worth trillions he He ain't, you feel me? He ain't. Ain't no, it ain't even no dollar amount you can put on there. I don't lie. I do something to her. I didn't think you reacted crazy, because I saw what Shaq said too. And I was like, you're Shaq me?
Starting point is 01:34:34 I didn't understand what he meant. I thought he was just, I thought he was using that to flirt with her. And you felt the way because he was flirting with her. I didn't even think about the baby. Oh, nah, I ain't never know, man. It's so, man, it's so many, man. Nah, man. It's so many. Every time a n***a jumps on my baby, my DM, she telling me. She shows you all of them?
Starting point is 01:34:49 Yeah. So you want you back then? Y'all still together? Yeah. That's my heart. That's my heart. That's my heart. But yeah, nah, like.
Starting point is 01:34:57 So why you acting like if Shaq called her baby, you wouldn't have cared? I see what you're saying. If she wasn't going, she would go. Yeah. But you didn't like him. He's confident. You don't want her to go. Yeah, I wasn't. Yeah, he just ain't confident.
Starting point is 01:35:03 Nah, but I wasn't worried about. But he don't need to. He big as hell, too. He don't want her to go. Yeah, I wasn't. Yeah, he just ain't confident. Nah, but I wasn't worried about, but he don't need to, he big as hell, too. He don't need to be worried about my baby mama. My baby mama like five foot two. He'll hurt my baby mama. You don't know that.
Starting point is 01:35:12 Man, he need to watch out, man. You ever seen, he look like Wizard Kelly standing next to me. Yeah, but you don't know what he got. I don't know. Dad, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:35:20 You're not going to be talking about that. Listen, you see what happens when you give up some love? He just said that. You just said that. You said not going to be talking about that. You see what happens when you give up some love? He just said that. He said the best part is when you're around to find out. Don't just assume we got to meet him.
Starting point is 01:35:32 Nah, I ain't never did that. You did though. They finna try to click back and all that. You assumed. I just want to take some time to say I never said that. You assumed it. You alluded to it. He's never to it. He's his breaker. He's like, what? Shout out to Chad. We're not in your pants. I don't know what Charlam just, I never said that. You assumed it. You alluded to it. He's like, he's never to it.
Starting point is 01:35:45 He's his breaker. He's like, what? Shout to Chad, Shaq. We not in your pants, Shaq. I don't know what
Starting point is 01:35:48 Charlamagne's talking about this morning. Charlamagne is in his pants. Yeah, Charlamagne kinky, man. I don't know. I genuinely f*** with Shaq,
Starting point is 01:35:55 though, because at the end of the day, like, You shouldn't say that after the conversation. You should have put a comma in front of him. You should have put a comma.
Starting point is 01:36:01 You should have put a comma. I f*** with his business on a business aspect, you know, because all the shit he done did. As a black man, like, it take a lot to, you know, become what he done became and do the things that he done did. So I just want to say, like, you know, if he was talking about my baby mom, I ain't really stressing that because there's too many bitches that do that. But I don't lie. I thought he was talking about my son.
Starting point is 01:36:20 No, I ain't going to hold you. I get it. All right, we got more with 2C when we come back. Let's get a joint off his project. His project is called I Do, and it's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, we got more with 2C when we come back. Let's get a joint off his project. It's called I Do, and it's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody.
Starting point is 01:36:29 We are The Breakfast Club. 2C is here with us. His album comes out tomorrow. Charlamagne? Now, you know, on the OK Whatever with Kalani, you still seem to be pretty dedicated to being a player. Is that just rap? Nah.
Starting point is 01:36:41 It was a part of my life. I'm out of that phase now, but I still want to give it to the people. So on Fire and Desire, when you talk about getting the s*** in your car on the highway and catching feelings, that was a real experience? I mean, possibly. You're crazy on She Doesn't Mind, too. Oh, yeah, I just thrown it all at you.
Starting point is 01:36:56 He just thrown it all at you. Every time you said you wasn't a player, they come right back at you. That was my favorite one on the checklist. I know you... Do you pay attention to this stuff when people come at you and be like, why you don't put your baby mom in the videos and yeah yeah yeah because i wonder how she'd be feeling about these songs unless they all apply to her but the thing
Starting point is 01:37:11 is though like with my baby mom like me and my baby mom so close and like that's why like i see and that's another thing too like i go out in the world that's why i don't be focused on these girls too because like i go out in the world and i'll be meeting all of these girls and i'll just be like like god not my baby mom like my baby mom don't ask me for nothing she don't want nothing from me she like she do everything that she got to do on her part like that's my best friend we locked in so like when they just when it come to her i don't really be focused on nobody else but i say like uh yeah like, like she understand that Najor and Toosie is two totally different people. Like at the end of the day, I was Toosie before.
Starting point is 01:37:50 I was Najor before anything. But when we got together, I was already Toosie. So she get that part. Does she get jealous or does she understand the industry? Nah, she don't get jealous. She joke with me sometimes. Like she might see me like it was a little clip of me talking to India. But we was on set.
Starting point is 01:38:07 It was a clip of me talking to India that had floated around the internet. But we was on set. And she'd joke with me sometimes. Like, what y'all was talking about? You know? But she already know, like, man, I'm working. Like, 2C and Azur are two totally different people. And I hate that the people try to get those two collided.
Starting point is 01:38:23 Because they ain't the same people. Did she ask you about fire and desire when you talk about getting the car and catching feelings no she she helped me with my track list really yeah listen to the lyrics she listened to everything she helped me with the track list so the fed to the fans that's out there that was getting on me about the track list and the songs that's up there Samaria helped me so yeah you said Tory Lanez is one of the most talented artists in the generation why do you say that why do you believe that or sure i i want to know somebody else right now who could drop an 80s project another artist
Starting point is 01:38:54 that could come around right now and drop an 80s project i don't i really don't foresee it happening and it was one of that's one of the smartest things i've ever seen but outside of that it's not many people that could do what Tory do. Like, it's very few artists that could sing, rap, step in any lane. Like, it's very few. Every artist got a lane. And with Tory Lanez, with artists like Tory Lanez, Drake, it's very few that could.
Starting point is 01:39:16 Tory Lanez, like him, love him, hate him, whatever the case may be. You got to give people their flowers. I'm a realist. And I don't care what nobody say about what. At the end of the day, I'm going to be and I'ma speak on what I wanna speak on. He definitely one of the most talented artists. I mean, you're talking about music. You know, I think that we live in this world where everybody wanna mix. Everybody
Starting point is 01:39:33 wanna mix everything, and that's the thing. You're not talking about nothing but music. I never said the guy, like, the thing would it be, like, I never said the guy was a great person. I never said, no, none of that i'm an advocate for great music and that he makes great music so that's what i will say i don't mix personal lives i once heard you say uh you said um people are rushing to love without knowing how
Starting point is 01:39:56 to love or even who to love take your time love is not something to be taken lightly who put you who put you on it and was that for just like people who are single? Nah, it's for everybody, man. Like, I feel like love ain't to be rushed. You know, it's a process. And at the end of the day, I feel like when it come, it come. God only gonna put in front of you
Starting point is 01:40:17 what he feel like you can handle. So as long as you keep that mindset, you'll be all right. Like, your person gonna come. So yeah, I feel like people will be rushing for love because they see the good stuff
Starting point is 01:40:27 on the internet, the flowers and the bags and the this and the that and the dates and it's a process. What advice would you give to somebody? That's good advice
Starting point is 01:40:34 for single people though. I was going to ask, what advice would you give to a single woman like in her 30s that can't find a man and actively looking? You see,
Starting point is 01:40:42 they on their way over here. They on their way over here. They on their way over here. That's what's happening. What's he been talking about? Just what advice would you give a woman in your 32? We all knew where y'all was going. Nobody called on you.
Starting point is 01:40:56 We're just talking about single women. So what advice would you give somebody like that? Like they say, man, Rome wasn't built in a day. I'll say that. At the end of the day, I believe in things being day i said it at the end of the day like i believe in things being preserved and things happening at the right time so if you in your 30s and you ain't you ain't met love yet i mean like god probably god is preserving you for somebody special and that's that's that's for you and and all god is protecting men from her until she becomes the person no for
Starting point is 01:41:22 real she might not be the person that God want her to be. Talk to her. Talk to her. Let her know. But that's great advice you gave to somebody. For sure. Somebody that's out there.
Starting point is 01:41:31 He's talking to 70% of the women that follow him. There's a million people out here. Somebody will get fed up. Nah, I won't lie to you. My 70% think they in a relationship with me.
Starting point is 01:41:40 My 70, I love them though. They is. Do you feel like, you know, back in the day, that was a thing in the industry, right? Like, they used to tell guys, don't tell women that you got a girl.
Starting point is 01:41:49 Make them feel like they want you. That's a thing. Or they can have you. No, that's still a thing today. Like, right now today, if you in a relationship to the artist that's out there, if you watch this interview, and you in a relationship, don't never go put your relationship on the internet. That's probably the dumbest thing i ever did you know but i would say like i like it though because my my uh some mom got a platform now you know and she able she could use her platform to do whatever she want to do she's gonna make
Starting point is 01:42:14 millions off that platform you know so you know she uh she got some some some things she working on and i'm excited about that so outside of that but yeah if you win a game don't man don't put your industry that's that's the worst thing i ever did if you win a game, don't, man, don't put your energy. That's the worst thing I ever did. I don't see it work for anybody. I've never seen it work. I don't know a successful relationship that's in a game, like somebody that's in a game with a successful relationship right now. And if anybody do know one, tell me, please.
Starting point is 01:42:39 I think Muffin Man said the real shit. He asked him what was the key to a long-lasting relationship. He said, keep everybody out your business. Keep everybody. As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going.
Starting point is 01:43:18 This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best and you're going to figure out
Starting point is 01:43:33 the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before.

Starting point is 01:48:57 I'm not I'm gonna keep my head on This to see it's the breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. You'll never see me pop up with a hairline. Lauren LaRosa just told me behind the scenes, don't you do nothing crazy and try to pop up with a hairline. You'll never see me sneak off. Because I feel like the tongue pepper is cool, but don't come in here with no boob spade.
Starting point is 01:49:19 Some hair plugs? I ain't got no time for that. That's not happening. He can't grow no hair. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to Jess with the mess with Lauren LaRosa. News is real, brother. This is real.
Starting point is 01:49:28 Lauren's Jessica Robin Moore. Jess don't do no lying. Don't do no lying. Hey! She don't spare nobody. Worldwide Jess. Worldwide mess. On The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 01:49:40 She's a coach and shit. With Lauren, Lauren LaRosa. I'm back. And I got the the man talk to me so a diddy accuser audria english who was known as i'm unique uh is the accuser who said that diddy sex trafficked her uh during a time where she was like flown out to a labor day on white party in the hamptons and she was originally supposed to be there just like as a dancer um but then she was like later drugged and threw her drink and you know forcibly made to have sex with people for
Starting point is 01:50:09 money and all these different things so yesterday um her attorneys filed to be able to withdraw from representing her now they tired they went out and there are a bunch of different reasons why they went out um but most importantly they're they're saying that they're receiving. And first and foremost, they're saying that they're receiving conflicting instructions that make it very difficult and unreasonably difficult to effectively represent her. Now, they didn't list exactly what these conflicting instructions are because they're saying because of attorney client privilege, they didn't want to put it in documents because they know these documents would become public but they are asking to have a private conversation with the judge in quarters um now they they did mention that these instructions that were conflicting pertain to what she alleges in her filing which is what we just talked about and say that her demands were ever evolving and very conflicting as well uh they said that the
Starting point is 01:51:01 instructions were construct were instructions that went to defendants, which would be Diddy and his team in this scenario and other third parties. Now the second reason why they went out, they said that there's a breakdown in the attorney-client relationship. So they say that on top of the instructions that they're receiving from her just basically being confusing,
Starting point is 01:51:20 there are some irreconcilable differences. And they're saying that they don't want to get into the irreconcilable differences and they're saying that you know they don't want to get into the irreconcilable differences but these are things that is making it difficult to the point where they can't communicate with her effectively and they can't lead her effectively and they point out that normally when someone says that there's a breakdown in attorney client relationship this is a clause that if a judge says okay this is actually happening a judge can rule okay y'all can get on up out of here even if the client is saying no that's not happening and they need to stay now the third reason that they went out
Starting point is 01:51:47 there's four reasons um is irreconcilable differences they kind of break it down a little bit more they say and they reference the ny state rule that says a lawyer may withdraw from representation when the client insists on taking action that the attorney does not agree with now in this case her attorneys do not agree with certain settlement demands that she has been bringing to the table and wanting them to execute. They don't agree with her undermining behaviors and questionable actions that she's been demonstrating. And they say because of a lack of disrespect, how she talks to how she deals with the attorneys that there has become tension.
Starting point is 01:52:20 So it's just difficult to work with her. Now, the fourth reason is there, I guess was some sort of agreement uh between an additional agreement so they agreed to represent her and then while representing her things just got so hectic they had to come up with an additional agreement so on september 24th they went to her and said look everything that you're doing you're going to not only mess up your own reputation but you're going to mess up this case if you're planning to go forward with it um and they set this new agreement she was supposed i guess follow the terms of the new agreement which would then kind of they were trying to protect her and protect the lawsuit in the case that they filed
Starting point is 01:52:53 she violated that two days later on september 26th and after she violated it she began to text them right after like as if nothing even happened now the attorneys do say that they were actually contacted by another attorney who said that uh audrea had reached out to this office to represent her because i guess she knew it was coming to an end with the attorneys as well too so the judge shouldn't have any reason to say to let the uh the lawyers withdraw now normally when a judge is thinking about a reason why a lawyer can withdraw from a case you have to think about prejudice um and you have to think about the timing right so is this going to put your client in a position where they don't have enough time
Starting point is 01:53:28 to build their case? So they point out early in the game in this filing that time will not be obstructed whatsoever. There was something that was due from their end of things on October 1st, which is two days ago, and they've already asked for an extension on that timing, so her new attorneys will be able to do that. And as far
Starting point is 01:53:44 as prejudice, that's why they left a lot out of this um withdrawal withdrawing filing because they don't want any prejudice or people to be able to form an opinion about her from this so they're like look we didn't already dotted our eyes cross our t's please let us on up out of here so a judge will have to make a determination if this is something that will make sense and it'll be following that conversation now it'll be really interesting once this conversation is had and once the decision is made, what comes out as far as the details? Like what was so damning that they thought, yo, we got to get up out of here that they thought the filing in the case would be damaged? Because I think that'll speak to whether or not the attorneys believe the claims were even valid based on how she was moving once the claims were filed. And I will mention that this is also the woman who she went back and filed a police report
Starting point is 01:54:26 years later on this situation after she filed her civil suit. And at the time, Diddy's attorney said, like, basically, anybody can file a civil suit.
Starting point is 01:54:35 So let's be, you know what I mean? This is a lot. You just spit a lot. So I'm confused. That was a good job, though. Yeah. Tell me what you're confused about
Starting point is 01:54:42 because if you're confused, the people are probably confused. I'm just curious. So they're pretty much backing out because they believe that a lot of the stuff that she said is not true. Well, I can't say yes to that 100%. That is my interpretation of what I think it is.
Starting point is 01:54:58 And the only reason why I can't say yes to that 100% is because they left out a lot of details because of attorney-client privilege and because they didn't want the world and us to be able to look at her and make a judgment or anybody else. So defense, right? Gotcha. So I can't say that.
Starting point is 01:55:10 But from what I'm reading here, it sounds like, I wouldn't even say that they don't believe what she's claiming, but whatever she claimed, they're saying that her actions following it make no sense if what she's claiming is true. And also, she's just difficult to work with. She's a hard client to have, and she's not following their instructions. And they're the attorneys. They know what's best. Right. Now,, she's just difficult to work with. She's a hard client to have and she's not following their instructions. And they're the attorneys. They know what's best.
Starting point is 01:55:28 Now, Diddy's... What are the instructions, though? Why do you need instructions? All she should be doing is telling her truth, right? Well, they want her to be quiet and only say it when the attorneys allow it, not just go and talk to the interviews. I mean, I think...
Starting point is 01:55:38 I don't even... Maybe it's that they don't specify, but they also do mention something about communications that were being sent to... from the plaintiffs to the defendants defendants so from the accuser's side to diddy's side they're saying they're she's basically confusing them like she's asking them to relay things that don't make sense she's making demands for certain settlements and different things that in their opinion do not make sense she's trying to do their job allegedly allegedly and just wanting them to do things that they're saying this makes no sense so either it makes no sense because they don't believe now to your point the claims or it makes
Starting point is 01:56:09 no sense because it's just not how they would go about it i can't answer that question but either one of the two is enough for them to be like we need to get on about here now i do want to mention that diddy's team did release a statement uh when this filing happened they said less than three months after the filing after filing her lawsuit against sean combs audrey english has been dropped by both of her attorneys after making completely fabricated statements. In papers filed with the court today, her former attorney cited Miss English's questionable antics and undermining behavior. As we've said from the start, anyone can file a lawsuit without proof. And this case is a clear example of that. Audrey English escalated things by filing false police reports and making baseless claims using high profile events as a backdrop to harm innocent people.
Starting point is 01:56:48 No matter how many lawsuits are filed, it won't change the fact that Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted or sexually trafficked anyone. So they are standing 10 toes down. And as I said earlier, they did say when she first filed all of this that, you know, anybody can file a civil suit. So that's true. Another thing we just going to have to file and see. But this this even if she gets another attorney, this isn't a good look for her at all yeah i mean and the crazy thing if you're confused now it's only gonna get more complicated because you got what 120 more cases coming from the guys houston you got women you got guys when the men start talking about diddy
Starting point is 01:57:17 touching their butts it's gonna get complicated oh that's not gonna get confused and you're gonna explain that one right to me i know that's what say. I don't know anything about that on a legal level. Not on a legal level, but I mean on a personal level. I don't know that. I don't know that level either. Okay. All right. But it's going to get complicated. Which is baby oil you'll say behind you?
Starting point is 01:57:33 My baby oil. Oh. That's not. You see that? Why do you love that? You see what's signed by? Get that baby oil. I didn't put that there.
Starting point is 01:57:41 I didn't put that there. I did not put nothing back there. That's close to the baby oil, you said. Don't worry. You can fill us in on everything we're confused about, about the touching, the rubbing, and the button. Listen, I'm learning more... Can you turn Nala's mic on?

I'll have you on this sucking a rapper's titty, and it won't be a woman. What's wrong with you, man? Why the accent, though? Envy, you better. I'm wrapping it up.

Starting point is 01:59:29 When you're on here shouting out all the ratchets, you don't say sorry. When you're out here shouting out to God, you apologize. Well, I'm saying because we don't play gospel music, but I'm just saying I had a great time at the gospel concert, but... You know why we don't play gospel music?
Starting point is 01:59:40 Because there's a bunch of heathens that run this radio station. Don't let them listen. You're right. Don't let the gospel music... You're right. Don't let the let them say that they're going it's gonna be a podcast about you i don't care oh yeah shout out to them people what's some christian brother's name they had a really good conversation about why radio and a bunch of different stuff isn't centered. They basically said that because I'm a heathen,
Starting point is 02:00:09 mind you, I'm a God-fearing woman. I gave my life to God this year. The balance is there, baby, but I have a good time and I'm growing in God. That's what Yolanda Adams taught me yesterday was okay. That conversation was dope, though. People should go take a listen. Holy Culture Radio
Starting point is 02:00:23 on Sirius XM. They're on Sirius XM channel 140. Salute to those. They're was dope, though. People should go take a listen. Holy Culture Radio on Sirius XM. They're on Sirius XM channel 140. Salute to those. And on YouTube, too. You can watch it on YouTube. One sister on there, right? Salute to them. Yeah, they said Lauren going to hell.
Starting point is 02:00:32 No way. They also said y'all old heads is the problem, too. No, they actually said we're growing and we're evolving. That's the end of it? No, no, no, no. I think they're hearing the truth. They said that in the beginning. They said in the beginning.
Starting point is 02:00:42 You ain't make it to the end, huh, baby? I didn't watch the whole thing. But I do agree with what they said. I agree with a lot of what they said. I agree with what they said about, you know, radio programming. That's what I said that on one of the breaks, you know, like we, that's why they call it programming because we can literally program people to like certain things. Right.
Starting point is 02:00:59 But we're not programmers. No, we're not programmers. They didn't say that. They said, because I was saying that like you have to play what's popular. And they was like, that's not true. Your radio makes stuff popular. And I was like. I don't know if that's the case anymore, though.
Starting point is 02:01:09 And the reason I say that is because of social media and the way people can go on Tidal, go on Spotify, go on Apple and listen to what they want to listen to. I don't think you can just program people to like something anymore. Yeah, no, I think you can. I just wanted them to understand that. Like, I said that not because I'm like,
Starting point is 02:01:23 ooh, if I like it, y'all should like it. I think the fans are just praying for you. No, just they were saying that. Just repent, Lauren. They were saying that. Lauren, they want because I'm like, if I like it, y'all should like it. They were saying it as a good conversation across the board. I repent all the time. Are you baptized? Yes, I am. Like I said, shout out to Seeds of Greatness in Delaware.
