That starts this Friday, October 25th. That's a great World Series. I don't watch baseball. I enjoyed it more when everybody was on steroids. But, I mean, just the franchises, right? The Yankees versus the Dodgers. East versus West. I think it's going to be great. And the players that the Dodgers have. The players that the Yankees have.

They beat the Minnesota Lynx. For the New York Liberty. It was a great game. It was. It was beat the Minnesota Lynx. For the New York Liberty. It was a great game.

It was. It was definitely the Minnesota Lynx versus the New York Liberty and the referees. The referees be too involved in these series, especially the WNBA Finals. You mean the last foul? I mean just the whole series. If you watch the whole series, the refs seem like they always bailing out the Liberty in some way, shape, or form. Well, congratulations to the Liberty. It's like, come on.

Come on, ladies. Y'all can do things without men. You don't need the ref to bail you out. Not tonight. It's Monday Night Football! The Ravens take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Chargers take on the Cardinals. Now, some quick NFL scores if you care. The Jaguars beat the Patriots. The Lions

and they didn't win? That's crazy. Yeah, the Giants lost 28-3 to the Eagles. Drop on the clues, bombs to the Eagles. I know you wish you went home with a sleep.

Charlemagne, Envy, Lauren. How y'all feeling? Good morning. Good morning. Good. Okay, so Election Day is officially 15 days away, November 5th,

and it's imperative that everyone exercise their right to vote, especially as early voting is already underway in numerous states. For information on registration, polling locations in your area, and who's on your ballot, vote.gov is an amazing resource. Of course, millions of Americans are taking advantage of

early voting across the country. More than 13.7 million registered voters have already cast their ballots either in person or by mail. The latest polls show, of course, a continued very, very tight race for the White House between former President Donald Trump and VP Harris. With that said, at the top of the front page is former President Trump expressing his admiration for Arnold Palmer. I'm not talking about a half and half lemonade iced tea either. The Republican presidential candidate was rallying in Latrobe, Pennsylvania. Of course, everyone knows that Pennsylvania is a swing state where that late golfer, legendary golfer Arnold Palmer was born. And he had some pretty graphic things to say about Palmer's manhood. So let's run that audio. But Arnold Palmer was all man.

And I say that in all due respect to women and I love women. But this guy, this guy this is a guy that was all man this man was strong and tough and I refuse to say it but when he took showers with the other pros they came out of there they said oh my god that's unbelievable

I had to say it I had to say it. I had to say it. What's the problem? You're saying Arnold Palmer's club was bigger than everybody else's? Yes, he definitely did. Yeah, that's exactly what he was saying. So reportedly, he talked about Arnold Palmer for 10 minutes, and the other gag is, no pun intended,

is that Trump hasn't been able to golf since last month, you know, when he had that attempt on his life at the other golf course, his golf course, a Secret Service arrested a gunman Near his Florida golf course. Why is everybody making the big deal about him talking about Arnold Palmer's package? I mean the man is clearly trying to make he's trying to engage with the LGBTQ community He's the president of United States of America supposed to be a president for all people He's out here clearly trying to engage with the homosexual community. Now, what's the problem? That was just weird.

You don't honor a man and then the way you honor him is like, yeah, his package is pretty big. If you had a big package, you had a big package. Talk about my package long after I'm gone. Long after I'm gone is crazy. That's what you would hope. That long legacy is crazy. Not the long legacy.

Oh my gosh. During the speech, he also said he used to pay uh used to hate paying overtime when he was in the private sector and he also called vp an expletive sugar honey iced tea vp if you know what i mean yeah so trump was out there this week it's a little out there uh i just want to say arnold palmer's daughter said uh i think it was a poor choice of word of how he tried to remember my father but it is trump you know what are you going to do the man is engaging with the lgbtq community and y'all are upset i don't i you know what come on man i'm never upset at inclusiveness that's what that is okay that is inclusiveness that's all that is okay meanwhile detroit what up though uh trump had a

rally in detroit where his microphone was cut off for about 20 minutes when the issue was resolved. He told the crowd he wasn't going to pay the bill for the, quote, stupid company that rented us this crap. Adding when they do that kind of job, don't pay the bill. If it goes out again, I'll sue the a double. Well, he'll sue the ass off the company. And they said while his tone was light, you know, Trump has been hit with hundreds of complaints from contractors in the past who say they have worked for him and they did not get their bills paid. So when can we sue for them using using us in that commercial about that commercial without our permission? We can sue for that, right? Yes.

You already said yes. Oh, man, you want to plan. right yes you already said yes oh man he wasn't playing okay and speaking of workings on on sunday trump worked at a mcdonald drive-thru in pennsylvania he used the opportunity to troll vice president harris who claims you know she worked at mcdonald's while she was in college now after spending about 15 minutes handing out fries and surprising drivers trump told reporters now he's worked at mcdonald's longer than harris ever has this is our uh bryce our republican presidential nominee so keep that in mind i was gonna say do we have one time for one more it looks like the thing is rolling it's rolling all right so that's your front page

news for 6 a.m at 7 a.m we will get caught up with bp harris and where she was over the weekend celebrating her 60th birthday i remember when uh politicians used to do stuff like that though like they would pull up up to fast food restaurants and work those kind of odd jobs. That was kind of a throwback. I haven't seen a politician do that in a long time. But I mean, they said that it was all staged, though. They said the McDonald's was closed and the people who

pulled up to the drive-thru weren't actually real. Of course not. No, of course. They're not going to let a sitting president hang out of a window and just let a random car come up to him. Not one that's been shot at like, what, two, three times? They're not going to let no president do that. No, no do that. But especially somebody who's been shot at a couple of times.

You know what they used to do a lot? They used to go to Detroit and used to work at the car manufacturers. That's what you used to see a lot back in the day. And they used to be on the assembly line, but you don't see that anymore. All right. Well, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up right now.

I'm with the culture feeling. Hello, who's this? Yo, it's your boy, Lovey from the Bronx. Lovey from the Bronx. What's up, Lovey from the Bronx? Good morning. There's a couple of things I want to get off my chest this morning. One is, after that mental wealth awareness,

I want to tell Charlemagne, bro, next year you should do that for two days. The Mental Wealth Expo? Yes. You think so? Yo, that was dope, bro. One thing I got out of it is buying flowers for yourself every week. That's something I'm going to start doing for myself. Yeah, my man Jay Barnett says he actually does do that.

If you know Jay Barnett and you follow my guy Jay Barnett, you know, he definitely does that for himself. Buy flowers for himself every week. Why does he do that? Give yourself your own flowers. Why wait on somebody else to give them to you? Give them for you. Give them to you.

Exactly. The only thing they didn't touch, I mean, I want to put my hat in the ring about. So my study was ACEs, adverse childhood trauma.

It's the only thing I didn't hear them talk about. I agree with that. Well, you know, I mean, they do, and everybody does.

Everybody talks about they're healing their inner child in their own ways. But, yes, there's not a full panel dedicated to it. We definitely going to work on that for next year. Yeah, I appreciate it. And you know that $17 billion is spent on these campaign ads. I know we can raise some of that money in the hood better than spending it on getting at each other. Yo, Donald Trump spent $65 million on

anti-trans ads as if that's the issue that is a top priority for Americans. It's the economy, it's the border, it's a lot of things, but it's not that. Yeah, that's crazy. Appreciate you loving it. Hello, who's this? Hey, DJ. What up, Sharina?

Hey, Lauren. How you doing? Hey, good morning. What's up, DJ? What up, Sharla? Hey, Lauren, how you doing? Hey, good morning. Peace, King. What's up, man? Get it off your chest, brother. I want to talk to you guys, man. My name is Courtney, man. I'm from Dama.

Y'all need to sue Donald Trump, man. I know y'all did the C&D, but y'all need to sue that, man. That's like... First of all, you got to sound it out. It's cease and desist. I don't like saying C&D. That sounded crazy. I know y'all did the CND to Donald Trump.

I don't even know what that means. But it just sounds nasty. Okay? CND, yeah, to Donald Trump, man. Y'all need cease and desist. I'll say that. Yeah, we sent him a cease and desist. But you know, since...

Yeah, that's what I said, too. Yeah, since when does Donald Trump care about doing anything legal? Exactly, man. Exactly. Because when I saw it, I was like, whoa, he just took y'all words and twisted them, man. Well, at least you know that our words were twisted. Yeah.

Absolutely. Absolutely. Y'all have a good day, okay? Yes, sir. Hello, who's this? Keisha from Philly. Hey, Keisha from Philly. Good morning. Get it off your chest, Keisha. Well, I'm on my way to work, and I don't want to be here no more, but they don't treat the black and brown community as well as they treat the others so quick i'm going to when i get another

job where you work at don't i can't say oh i mean is it like the job like it's like a public service job like what is it of course a private job a private company. Okay yeah quit if you don't like you know if you don't like what's happening. I gotta find another decent job. She gotta pay her bills

and all that. Oh and all that. Find another job first. He like quit ask him are you hiring? No I mean

my whole thing is like I'm at the point in my life and I feel like everybody should be that like you know no need to sit around and complain about something all day

do something about it like you know that's one thing that Tyrese said at the Mental Wealth Expo, which I really agree with. He said, if you got a problem with something, act like it. Because a lot of times, we complain about things all the time, but we really don't have an issue with it. Because if we did, we would do something about it. I do have an issue with it.

It's just taking a minute to get to it. I can't just move the way I want to move. I get it. Well, start looking, mama, and good luck. We wish you the best. Don't let them stress you out. Wait, wait, wait. Can I get Charlamagne's books, please? All of them. You want all of them? She got time to sit. It's signed.

I got some copies of my new one, Get Honest or Die Lying, Why Small Talk Sucks. I have some of those up here, so I'll get your information and send you a copy. Hold on. We'll put you on hold, okay? Okay. Thank you. Thank you to everybody that's been getting that book too. I mean, I got three books out, so it's always crazy when people run up on me

and they just be randomly having my book out. I appreciate that, so thank you. Well, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, you can hit us up at any time. Now we got Jess with the Mess With Lawn LaRosa coming up. What are we talking about? Yes, we were talking about homecomings.

Black China got engaged at Howard's homecoming over the weekend. Okay, we'll get into that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. And what? Nothing like a Monday morning. Wow.

When women in here trying to explain why their love life is so sad. What happened? No, first of all, don't do that to us. Because here you go. You don't ask me how come men send themselves flowers but if we were to do that it's like we lonely we sad we did see that don't try to my god dr j barnett who spoke at the mental wealth expo he says he buys himself flowers to celebrate himself right they're trying to ask me what's the difference between what he did and what they do now let me tell you some of the things that they've done up here.

Flowers have come for us, right? Like for me, flowers have been in there for me. Not going to say no names. There's a woman in here who took pictures with them and posted them like somebody sent them to her. I've been in here on Valentine's Day. That woman was not me, by the way, people. I was not here on that date. And I've seen women order themselves flowers and be like, oh my God, who sent these?

That's the difference. Don't look over here. I would never. Well, well and lorne. I've seen women order themselves flowers and be like, oh, my God, who sent these? That's the difference. Don't look over here. I would never. Well, well, Lauren, I've seen that before. But I will say, though, you don't feel like that's a bit of a double standard. Because if Sailor were to order herself flowers to give herself flowers on Valentine's Day, just so, you know, why wait for other people to do it? You would trash her.

Yes. Yes. Okay. Well, let's get to Jess with the mess with Lauren LaRosa. Good morning. News is real. We're in the calories. Jessica Robin Moore.

Jess don't do no lying. Don't do no lying. She don't spare nobody. Worldwide Jess. Worldwide mess. On The Breakfast Club. She's a coach and shit. With Lauren, Lauren LaRosa.

I'm back. 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. 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.

Each episode is about a different inspiring figure from history,

like this one about Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old girl in Alabama who refused to give up her seat on the city bus from history, like this one about Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old girl in Alabama who refused to give up her seat on the city bus nine whole months before Rosa Parks did the same thing. Check it. And it began with me. Did you know, did you know?

I wouldn't give up my seat. Nine months before Rosa, it was Claudette Colvin. Get the kids in your life excited about history by tuning in to Historical Records.

Three days of music and then the boxing event. What was going on in the world at the time made this fight as important that anything else is going on on the planet. My grandfather laid on the ropes and let George Foreman basically just punch himself out. Welcome to Rumble, the story of a world in transformation. The 60s and prior to that,

you couldn't call a person black. And how we arrived at this peak moment. I don't have to be what you want me to be. We all came from the continent of Africa. Listen to Rumble, Ali, Foreman, and the Soul of 74 on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And I got the message. Talk to me. So I want to send a congratulations to my bro derek milano over the weekend he got engaged to black china did he go to howard i don't know that he went to howard at all she didn't go to howard

right but she's from the dc area though okay that's i thought it was weird it was on the stage i believe he was there performing though because i saw him on the stage prior to that but he's an artist but he's also a really big songwriter as well too um they've been dating for some time now um and tokyo tony was on the stage her mom really excited but it was just like it was really cute to see and i know that congrats yeah recently since she's went from black china back to you know uh her regular self removing all of the black china drama and all that she's been trying to live a better life and he's been a big part of that she seems really happy so i wanted to say congratulations to those two um they officially got spotted their relationship was

official uh september 2023 so they were together for a few months yes love to see it now in other news this liberty wins so the new york liberty, they won over the Minnesota Lynx 67-62. But there's a lot of drama around this. A win is a win. Huh? A win is a win. I think a win is a win, too. They got the chip.

You know, there's a call that happened during the game that people online are arguing will be disputed for some time. Now, let's take a listen. So, we have audio from Breonna Stewart, who sealeded for some time. Now let's take a listen. So we have audio from Breonna Stewart who sealed the win for the team. Let's take a listen. What does it mean to bring New York its first championship ever? I've been, like, manifesting this moment for a while. And there's no feeling like it. You know, this game, and credit to Minnesota because they gave us a tough series.

And the fans have been amazing everywhere we've gone but to be able to bring a championship to new york first ever in franchise history uh it's an incredible feeling and i can't i literally can't wait to continue to celebrate with the city because i know it's gonna like be bonkers bonkers fact right tools of the liberty that's the first championship for new york since the giants won the super bowl right back in the day yes and uh the the liberty are actually they were one of the first teams to play in the first uh wm the yankees did after that right the yankees won after that the giants won no okay okay okay well okay so we're talking about this call right so there so brianna stewart she's being credited for bringing the game home

because she hit two free throws. When she hit the two free throws, it tied the game up, took it into overtime, and then delivered it. She missed two free throws before that, though. She had a terrible game last night, her and Sabrina. But they won. We're talking about the positive side. The two that she hit are the ones that are being talked about, right?

So, LeBron had tweeted out, I'm sorry, but that wasn't a foul. Let the players dictate the outcome of a close battle-tested game. So, basically, people are upset at the refs. LeBron had tweeted out, I'm sorry, but that wasn't a foul. Let the players dictate the outcome of a close battle tested game. Basically, people are upset at the refs. They feel like when the refs stepped in, they called a shooting foul on Alana Smith that gave Breonna she was able to shoot the two free throws after that.

That's when the trajectory of the game changed. They're basically saying that the refs should have minded their business. Now, mind you, I didn't mind when the refs did that only because I'm like, you know what, for the WNBA, that's good. It's good for a game to go into overtime. It adds to the excitement of the season. So I wasn't really too upset about it.

It was good to watch, but the coach of the Lynx, she was really upset. She was upset? Yeah, let's take a listen. I thought today was incredibly disappointing. The challenge, we have got to change our challenge rules. And the officials doing the game should have a third party because that was not a foul. I know all the headlines will be Reeve cries foul. Bring it on.

Bring it on. Because it was stolen from us. She's right. It wasn't a foul. That was Cheryl Reeve, by the way. Yeah, she was upset. Now, people are saying that this foul is going to be debated for some time, whether it should have been called or shouldn't have been called.

So you feel like it was good for the game, but should it have been called? Yes, the foul should have been. No, the foul should not have been called, but I feel like it was good for the game to see the game get tied and go into overtime. I feel like that was the best way for the WNBA season to win. This has been a very transcendent season for the WNBA, so it was a great game.

But women in the WNBA shouldn't want a man's help in order to win. This has been a very transcendent season for the WNBA, so it was a great game. But women in the WNBA shouldn't want a man's help in order to win those games. And the men bailed them out last night. Shut up, man. Congratulations to those women yesterday. Don't do that. You might have them girls, they gonna walk from the barclay to stop playing with you. And it's like that in every sport. Every ref can't get

every foul, every call right. Not like that, though. Not in the final seconds of a championship game. You gotta let them play like Broncos. It's easy to say when you're on TV, but when you're in the mix and it looks like a foul, they call the foul. We see it all the time in every sport. No, they wouldn't. They wouldn't do that in the NBA. They would have a riot if they did that in the NBA.

Why would they riot? Because they're gonna let the guys play it out. But by the way, once again, I'm not mad at what happened last night because it's good for the sport of the WNBA. It's exciting. People are talking about it this morning. It adds on to the great season, the transcendent season they had this year.

And shout out to Angel Reese. She pulled up to the game with a half and half jersey. I see. I didn't like that. Why? Because she plays for the Chicago Sky, man. She was in the basketball. Wear a WNBA shirt.

Angel Reese is a dog. Okay? And when you a dog, I don't want to see no dog representing two other teams that you don't even play for. You want her to just pull up with a shirt that says literally WNBA. That's it. And you know Teresa Witherspoon is her girl. So she was supporting the WNBA. I'm with all of that.

But she don't play for either one of them teams. That's all right. She's supporting. You got to play both them teams next year. It's a bipartisan sport. Man, please. You got to play both them teams next year. I don't like that. Man, please. You got to play both them teams next year. I don't like that.

Congratulations to the Liberty. Yes, congratulations, ladies. That's right. All right. And that is just with the mess with Law and the Rose. Now, when we come back, we got front page news. And then Laura Trump will be joining us. She's the co-chair of the Republican National Committee.

Good morning, good morning. So, yeah, Vice President Kamala Harris, right? She was busy, busy on the campaign trail over the weekend.

Maybe that's why she didn't show up to her alma mater, Howard University's homecoming, but I won't get too much into that. Y'all are crazy for thinking that she was ever coming there. I thought she was going to breeze by Howard. I did think Howard was going to get a couple minutes. Did she even send surrogates? I ain't saying she didn't. She posted on Instagram. She said, happy homecoming to my a couple minutes. Did she even send surrogates? I ain't seen she. She posted on Instagram. She said, happy homecoming to my fellow Bisons.

That's all that. That's it. Yeah. Damn. Yeah, well, shout out to Emma and her parents who pulled up on me. I was hosting an event in the Valley. They listened to us, and they were absolutely adorable and sweet. But, yeah, we were waiting.

Phoebe, where you was at? Anyway, so I guess she was celebrating her 60th birthday. She did so in church yesterday. She spoke at the Souls to the Polls event at New Birth Church in Stonecrest, Georgia, where she made her case to Christian voters. Let's hear those comments. In this moment, our country is at a crossroads. And where we go from here is up to us.

As Americans and as people of faith. And now we ask a question. We face this question. What kind of country do we want to live in? A country of chaos, fear, and hate? Or a country of freedom, compassion, and justice? And the great thing about living in a democracy is that we, the people, have the power to answer that question. So let us answer, not just through our words,

but through our action and with our votes. Yeah, so Pastor Jamal Bryant is actually the pastor of New Birth. If you have ever watched Real Housewives of Potomac, that's Giselle's ex-husband. During that, she also praised

the way that Georgia residents responded to the recent devastation caused by Hurricane Helene. Do you guys think that the VP role is critical to the president? Yes. Yeah, absolutely. The you guys think that the VP role is critical to the president? Yes. Absolutely. The VP's role, the VP is definitely in the president's ear about a lot of things. I mean, she's not the president or they're not the president, so they don't make the final decision. But yes, they're definitely in the ear of the president. Well, speaking in

Grand Rapids, Michigan, Vice President Harris said that her role to President Biden in terms of influence on policy issue, Well, she had something to say in regards to that. Let's hear those comments. I mean, to be very candid with you, you even including Mike Pence, vice presidents are not critical of their president. I think that really actually in terms of the tradition of it and also just going forward, it does not make for a productive and important relationship. What did she say now? It does not make for an important and productive relationship.

I mean, like I said, they're in the president's ear, but they're not making the final decision. You know what I mean? I mean, clearly she would know better than us. She's been in the role. She is the vice president. Yeah, absolutely. All right. So, meanwhile, former President obama he was on the campaign

trail for vice president harris in the swing state of arizona speaking in tucson on friday where he questioned former president trump's competence asking the crowd have you seen him lately let's hear more from obama in tucson arizona he's given two two and a half hour speeches just word salads you you have no idea what he's talking about. He just decided, you know what, I'm going to stop taking questions. And then he swang to Ave Maria and YMCA for about half an hour. Folks are standing there not sure what's happening. Yeah, so Obama reminded the crowd that the only reason why Trump can claim the economy was good during his presidency was because he handed that economy off to Trump.

He also chided Trump for saying January 6th, 2021 was a day of love, adding that Trump made the attack on the U.S. Capitol sound like Woodstock. Former President Obama will stay on the campaign trail for Harris this week. He is expected to be in North Carolina, which has not swung blue since he was elected in his first term in 2008. He also is expected to hit another or a slew of swing states in the final stretch of that race to the White House. He will make a joint appearance with VP Harris on October 24th in Georgia. When is the good sister Michelle Obama going to get on the road? Because, I mean, Michelle Obama was the DNC. She told her to do something. I ain't seen her out there yet.

Where's Michelle Obama at? I would think Michelle Obama would be on the front lines, especially for Vice President Kamala Harris, a fellow woman of color. Where's Michelle Obama at? Maybe they saved her for the last couple days. Do we have that luxury?

It's go time now. She got to that luxury? This is go time now. She got to have a rally or something planned, right? Man, well, I will definitely figure that out and bring that back to you guys tomorrow. Oh, I see something now. Michelle Obama, the headline Michigan rally on first day of in-person voting. When is that? That would be, I want to say this week. I know that, oh, no, in-person vote.

Early voting? October 26th, early voting October 26 actually October 20 yes yeah they rolling her out the last couple days oh yeah a lot yeah I was gonna say yeah y'all keep that in mind too a lot of in-person early voting kicks off this week and a lot of the states that actually have it so it kicks off on Saturday so if you guys want early vote exercise your right to vote yes she's doing something in Michigan on October 26 and then Michelle Obama will be doing

something Tuesday, October 29th, a get out the vote rally in Georgia as well. Okay, there you go. Thanks. All right.

Network and download the free iHeartRadio app. Visit BINnews.com. Thank you. I'll talk to you tomorrow. All right.

Now, when we come back, thank you, Morgan. Laura Trump will be joining us. Make talk to you tomorrow. All right. Now, when we come back, thank you, Morgan, Laura Trump will be joining us. Make sure to ask her about why she got us. Uh, why did, why the Trump campaign got us running in the match without our permission?

She is the co-chair of the Republican national committee. And she, of course, uh, that's Trump's daughter-in-law. So we're going to talk to her when we come back. It's the breakfast club. Good morning.

The breakfast club. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Jess is on maternity leave, so Lauren LaRose is filling in. And we got a special guest in the building. We have Laura Trump. Welcome.

Good morning, thank you. How are you feeling this morning? I'm feeling great. How are you guys? Blessed black and highly favored. Good morning. There you go. Now you're the co-chair of the Republican National Committee. Yes. What does that mean exactly? What is that? Well, there's a chairman of the RNC.

His name is Michael Watley. And as co-chair, I work alongside of him. And, you know, we're basically in charge of the Republican Party at this point. And I've been in this position since March. It's been a wild ride. This is probably one of the craziest times in politics anyone can remember. And so, yeah, I'm honored to do it. Your father-in-law has a lot to do with that.

Well, you know, actually the RNC committee members have to vote you into this position. Now, I did get a call from him back in January one night, and he said, I think you should run for this position. And to be honest, I said, I have two young kids. My kids are five and seven now. I have a lot of personal endeavors that I have underway as well. I said, I don't know if this is the job for me right now, knowing how big this election was going to be, knowing what laid ahead of me. But he convinced me to run for it. And then the committee members at the RNC voted me into this position. I'm honored to do it.

Have you been a lifelong Republican? I would say yes. I've always voted Republican, but politics were never a big thing discussed in my household when I was growing up. I grew up in southeastern North Carolina. I think that naturally I gravitated towards more

conservative values, but we never really discussed it. But yeah, I've always voted Republican. Let's go back a little bit. Let's's find out who laura trump is so okay you're married to uh trump's son eric yes what did you guys meet and you know explain that break that down so people know your history where you came from and and how you got into politics politics wasn't your thing at first no well it wasn't anyone's thing with the last name trump if we're all honest for for a long time um i moved here i moved moved to New York in 2007. I actually moved here to go to culinary school and I met Eric out one night. I had no idea that a guy

named Eric Trump even existed but you guys probably saw when I walked in. I'm a tall drink of water and when I have heels on I'm like 6'2". So you walked in pumping? Yeah. And he was like who that? Yeah well I saw across the room. I was like well who that? Yeah. Well, I saw across the room. I was like, well, who's that guy who's taller than I am with my heels on? I said, this could work out.

And little did I know, here we are. Gosh, all you look for is height. That's all it takes. That's what drew me in Charlamagne. But, but it takes a little more than that.

And to be honest with you, when I found out who he was, um, I said, well, I think I'll go out on a date with this guy. And I'll probably just have a story to tell. Because you have in your mind what someone with the last name Trump would be like.

He's going to be an a-hole. Right. I mean, to be honest with you. And we went out to dinner. And we did not order food for four hours. Because we had such a good conversation going. He was so down to earth. I was so impressed with all the things he said to me,

and our conversation was great. And that's what really drew me in, and that's what it took for me. Hold on, I got one question. Why give the a**hole the chance? Like, if you said to yourself, his last name was Trump, I thought he was an a**hole,

why would that make you want to go on a date with him? I mean, I think my initial knee-jerk was, oh, this guy's going to be like, I'm not going to like him. But we communicated, you know. We talked on the phone and he seemed relatively okay. So I said, alright, let me go see what this is about.

And you worked at Inside Edition too, right? I sure did. I have a background and a communication media degree from NC State. Shout out to the Wolfpack. I was a producer with Inside Edition for five years until, of course, the famous escalator ride

in Trump Tower. And now my life is politics. When did it switch to politics? When did? Because, you know, it was a big, happy entertainment family and then politics hit.

And when you started hearing the politics talk, did you believe it? Did you say, no way this cannot possibly happen? Walk us through that because I don't think

anybody ever thought that Donald Trump would make it to president. It just didn't seem like because he wasn't a quote unquote politician. Yeah, well, he was friends with everybody. We were at the Al Smith dinner and he was right there next to Chuck Schumer. And he said to Chuck Schumer, who's obviously a Democrat senator. He said, I gave Chuck his first check ever when he was running for like assemblyman or something. So, yeah, he that's why Chuck was laughing so hard.

Remember, we asked why chuck was laughing so hard remember we asked why chuck was laughing so hard yeah i don't be liking the optics of that because when you hear people like chuck schumer say things like trump is a threat to democracy but then you're sitting next to him yucking it up why would you be yucking it up with somebody who you consider a threat to democracy well you have to ask yourself that question don't you maybe it's a lot of fear mongering charlemagne um what i can tell you is I know Donald Trump. I have known him for 16 years and Chuck Schumer's known him a lot longer than I have and I think he knows full well he's not a threat to democracy and you don't even have to take my word for it. Look at what he did when he was in the White House. There was never any threat to democracy when he was in the White House. Well there was an attempted coup in a country. Well

that you can argue that a lot of different ways peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard is not an attempted coup what was a coup was when they replaced joe biden with kamala harris who was not elected by anyone to run for president there are 14 million people who voted for joe biden to be the nominee for the democrat party and if you want to talk about a real threat to democracy i would argue that that wasn't, did anyone die when that happened? No, not even that. She was vice president. The only person who died was a woman

who was there actually very supportive of Donald Trump on that day. That's still a life loss. I'm just saying the comparison is a bit drastic. We could go down the line of people dying in a lot of different circumstances and I would argue that that that that list could get very long for the democrats as well but um but she was vice president she was on the ballot people did vote for her the delegates did vote for her at the dnc but would you as a i'm gonna

assume a democrat voter for a long time unaffiliated unaffiliated voter if you were a democrat maybe a democrat here would you guys if you had the option to vote for someone other than Joe Biden to be the representative for you on the Democrat ticket, have chosen Kamala Harris to be that person? I would have chosen Kamala Harris. Really? Interesting. Yes. I mean, I actually, I was a person that was calling for Joe Biden to step down for a very long time. And I think that there's, you know, when Joe Biden made a statement last year, he said there's about 50 of us that could beat Donald Trump.

I was like, well, line them all up then. And I definitely had her as one of the people. But to answer your question, I know we kind of got sidetracked. But in politics, none of us in the family had obviously any experience in politics. But I had heard my father in law a lot, very upset about what he felt was wasteful. He felt like we weren't focused on America, that we were sending jobs overseas, businesses overseas, that the federal government was bloated and overspending.

And he said, this isn't right. This isn't the America that I grew up in and that I think we should have as a great future for this country. Right before his famous Golden Escalator ride, we all sat down as a family for dinner and he talked us through, you know, I want to do this. This is definitely something that is real. But if I do this the right way, if I do what is needed and I call the people out who need to be called out and expose the things that need to be exposed, they're going to come after us.

And it's not just me. It's the whole family. And I think you guys need to really appreciate that. And I need you to understand that and make sure 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. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude and the power of love. 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. And you're gonna figure out the rhythm of this thing.

My grandfather laid on the ropes and let George Foreman basically just punch himself out. Welcome to Rumble, the story of a world in transformation.

success for america and obviously we were very wrong all right we got more with laura trump when we come back it's the breakfast club good morning morning everybody it's dj nv just hilarious charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club laura rosa filling in for jess we're still kicking it with Laura Trump. She's the co-chair of the Republican National Committee. A lot of people feel that Trump is racist. And what do you say to that? You know, in 73, of course, is when he got sued for not renting to African-Americans.

In 89, when he took out the ad in the paper. And, I mean, even saying Obama wasn't born here and show his birth certificate. There's numerous things. So what do you say to that? Well, I think that's ridiculous. I've known this man for 16 years and you know you can go to each of those incidents and you know there was there was never any any proof of anything with the the houses that you're talking about he settled he settled off of that yeah they they settled that

that was and there was no admission of anything there um you know central park five there were so many people you had a democrat Democrat, Governor Democrat, DA, who prosecuted the guys, and they admitted to it. There were a lot of people in New York at that time. They were exonerated and freed, and there was never an apology. However, I will say that you have to look at somebody and what they actually have done. And Donald Trump really was very beneficial to the black community when he was in the White House.

I will say I've never seen this man say a racist thing i think the attacks are fairly why is that funny charlamagne i'm just like it's hysterical but i mean people act like there's no such thing as google or we don't have tv what is it that you think that that he said when me Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best. They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists. This morning, a bitter backlash after President Trump referred to Haiti and African nations as asshole countries during a meeting on immigration Thursday. The president facing outrage after taking 48 hours to condemn racism and to call out groups by name, much of that from leaders of his own party. Tonight, President Trump said he

needed all of the facts before delivering his response. And he went on to say that there is blame on both sides, that there were fine people on both sides in his words, adding the initial protesters did have a permit. Here's what I'll say. You can go pick apart somebody all you want. It is a traditional talking point to attack Republicans, to call them racist. But when you look at the things that he wants for this country, he wants every person to be successful. And whether you want to talk about actually funding in perpetuity, historically black colleges and universities, whether you want to talk about the First Step Act that allowed 30,000 nonviolent felons to be released from prison, who the 1994 crime bill actually put in prison.

These are things that really have, I feel like, spoken to a lot of people. But more so than anything, the economy right now is such that I don't care who you are. It is hurting you and it is something that he wants to fix. And, you know, I hate that that is the constant knee jerk is Donald Trump is a racist. Donald Trump is a racist. I can tell you he wants every person to be successful. He'll work for every American equally. He did that the first term when he was president and he'll do it again.

How do you ask Mexicans and Muslims to ignore a lot of the rhetoric, Haitians to ignore a lot of the rhetoric that he said about them that is dangerous, that has villainized them, that has demonized them? Well, I would say anyone who's coming to this country illegally, he's very against and every American should be very against. If you're an American citizen, Donald Trump doesn't care your religion. He doesn't care what you look like. He will work for you and he wants to make this country safe for you.

We should all want a secure southern border. A lot of the comments get misconstrued that he says about people coming here illegally. They're breaking our federal law to come here illegally. The open border has been a disaster. So, yeah, he's upset about it. And yes, he says he says things about people coming here illegally, and rightly so. And you and I, as American citizens, should be the ones absolutely infuriated that this has been allowed to happen. I agree with you. The border is a disaster. I feel like the border is a bipartisan issue, though, because the border has been terrible under multiple administrations. Well, we had the lowest border crossings when Donald Trump was in the White House that we've ever had.

Yes, but I still feel like it's going to take some bipartisan legislation, you know, to actually fix things at the border. You can't do executive orders. You can't do that. So how come they can't come to terms on that? And why did Donald Trump shoot down what they said

was one of the most comprehensive bipartisan bipartisan border bills that they ever created? If you actually read what was in there, there was like $60 billion for Ukraine.

There were so many issues with that. It would allow 1.8 million illegal immigrants into our country a year. I mean, it was with that. It would allow 1.8 million illegal immigrants into our country a year. I mean, it was it was nonsense, honestly, Charlemagne. And we should all want a secure southern border. That's why Donald Trump built 500 over 500 miles of border wall. And I saw it with my own eyes. I went down to Yuma, Arizona about a month ago. You have this border wall that Donald Trump built and then laying down on the ground where you have a wide open section are pieces of the border wall that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, because they campaign

and said, we will not build another foot of Donald Trump's border wall. It's laying on the ground. And there are people who come right through there. They could stand it up right now if they wanted to, but they won't do it. That is very frustrating. If the bipartisan border bill was so bad, like you say, how come so many Republicans were for it until Donald Trump intervened to say no? I don't think Donald Trump intervened at all. He's not in an elected office right now. He literally told them not to do it. Senate negotiators have been inching closer to a border security deal after months of work here. But it could all unravel with former President Trump urging Republicans not to do a

deal, prompting talk about blocking an agreement so that voters can blame President Biden for its failure and credit Mr. Trump with getting a deal if he wins the election. I noticed a lot of the senators, they're blaming it on me. I said, that's okay, please blame it on me because they were getting ready to pass a very bad bill. I don't think that's true, but I also know. Well, ask Donald Trump yourself. He will. That's a good question. I wonder for you, how tough is it having the last name Trump? Because you are, you know, the co-chair of the RNC.

How hard is it for you to have to always answer questions about Donald Trump? Does it come with its challenges because there is a lot of negative information out there about Donald Trump? Absolutely. But I can't think of anything better that I could be doing right now than trying to fight for the future of this country. And I really believe that when people think about their life with Donald Trump in office and their life right now, they will always say my life was better with him in office. And he really does want to see us successful. We are the superpower of the world. That is such a huge deal. But things are going in the wrong way in a lot of different aspects. And I think one of the scariest things to him right now is nuclear war. You know, he talks about it all the time that it is a real possibility right now. You have Russia, you have Iran, you have a lot of bad actors out there

who are chomping at the bit. They saw the way we exited from Afghanistan. They see the weakness right now in this White House. And, you know, you want a strong president because you want peace through strength. And that's what we had. He was the only president in 82 years not to have a new war under his leadership.

What you just said just now about the nuclear war is something I agree with. I feel like there is too much casual conversation about nuclear war from a lot of different world leaders, and I don't think we're discussing it enough. Yeah. That I agree with. It's terrifying.

But imagine the United States gets into World War III, and we indeed would be sucked right into it. The people, our young men and women in this country, are going to be sent overseas, and it is going to be horrific. And on top of that, it won't be like any war we have ever seen ever in the history of the world because nuclear is absolutely terrifying. It would destroy the world. It's going to last an hour.

Yeah. It would be gone. Yeah. No, it's very scary. And, you know, people gave him – remember when he was running in 2016, they were like like we can't give this guy the nuclear codes i agree with that though the oh even now to this point he was the only person charlamagne not to get us into a new war he was the one who got us the abraham accords peace agreements that people said were impossible in the middle east so why is that why are you concerned about donald trump with the nuclear did you see what he did january 6th

what did he do he got a little bit upset and used his words. What words did he say, though? The words that you said earlier. Peacefully and patriotically make your voice heard. And then what happened after that? So how were his words actually contributing to that? Because I think that for me, him being able to just push a button, hypothetically speaking, it's a little bit scary because we've seen kind of he gets a

little bit erratic when he wants to well nothing happened for four years when he was in the white house and in fact we had a peaceful world we had a stable world we had look at it right now it is a hornet's nest and it is very scary the trajectory from here to what could happen if you don't have the right leadership hi we have more with laura trump when we come back she's the co-chair of the republican national committee she's also married to eric trump which is donald trump's son all right we'll talk to him some more when we come back it's the breakfast club good morning dj mv jess hilarious charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club laura rosa filling in for jess we're still kicking it with laura trump she's the co-chair of republican national committee now his life has been threatened twice in a possibility, right?

Because the other ones, they say whatever. So we'll say three times. Do you think it was because of his rhetoric or do you think it's because of the Democrats' rhetoric? Why do you think his life keeps getting threatened like the way that it is? We've never seen this ever in life. And it seems like his life should be protected a lot better than that, especially with Secret Service. So what are your thoughts on that? That's very nice.

I agree with you. You know, I think that when Donald Trump came down that escalator, he was different. He came right out of the gate and started saying things that upset some people. But a lot of Americans resonated with that and they said, wait a minute, this guy kind of talks like I talk. He did kill the language of politics. I agree with that. Yeah, he's changed

the landscape of politics. And whether you like Donald Trump or you don't, you probably are more invested in politics now than you ever could have imagined because of him. I do think that whenever you have people out there who constantly talk about we need to take this guy out, he's a threat to democracy. He's this, that and the other. And you demonize someone so much over and over and over and over he called him hitler again jd vance said he's and he's and he's admitted that that is that obviously he was wrong he was misled here's the thing that rhetoric would get you killed though i can imagine if i watched i got my information from the wrong news outlets that i would probably hate donald trump too but i actually know him and i'm his daughter-in-law. And I'm part of this family.

And I know what he goes through on a daily basis. And I know what he wants to do for this country. The reason that I do, why do I think, you know, people have tried to assassinate him? I can only assume it's because they don't want him to become president. And most people, you get one assassination attempt,

you're probably out. Donald Trump is still there going strong. And he said nothing, nothing will ever stop him. When you hear Trump say things that he wants to terminate the constitution, the overthrow the results of an election, what do you think about? When did Donald Trump say that? Oh my God, he said it on True Social. He said he wants to overthrow the constitution? He said we should terminate the constitution, overthrow the results of the election. It's the oath of office every president takes. Preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.

The Constitution of the United States. But former President Trump is now taking aim at this founding document. A post from Trump suggesting the possible termination of parts of the Constitution and a redo of the 2020 election.

That's not what he said. Donald Trump is a strong supporter of the United States Constitution. And he wants free, fair and transparent elections. And he wants every American no matter how you vote. He said it. To have your opportunity to vote and only legal votes counted. What do you think when he said he had every right to interfere in the 2020 election? Whoever heard you get indicted for interfering with a presidential election where you have every right to do it. I think whenever you are the commander in chief and you're the leader of this country, it is his duty, I think, to make sure that everybody feels like their vote was counted.

And that's what he was trying to accomplish. And I understand why you support your father-in-law. That's your father-in-law. You're the co-chair of the RNC. But his policies, especially towards women, they absolutely take away rights from women what do you think about that how's that which rights the roe v wade being overturned women's reproductive rights like what are we talking so here's the thing that's been very interesting to me about this entire election obviously abortion has become really the number one issue of of the democrats i think and i think

it's because they know that a lot of what they've done to this country people are smart enough to see like it's been it's been bad people are hurting like we said earlier we've already established that what happened when the supreme court said we're going to get rid of roe v wade is that the most democratic of things happened which is that this went back to the state so that we the people actually have the opportunity in our respective states to vote on it. Donald Trump has said he will not sign a federal abortion ban. This should be out of the hands of the federal government. And actually, it's a great thing so that here in New York,

there might be a vote that is very different than what they might have in Alabama or California or Nevada. It's all up to us, we the people in our respective states. And so I think the talking point that Donald Trump is somehow threatening this is outrageous. He said, I want nothing to do with that. But he takes credit for it.

For 54 years, they were trying to get Roe v. Wade terminated, and I did it, and I'm proud to have done it. He said, I put the three Supreme Court judges on the stand that actually overturned. And you know what in some places Charlemagne it actually means that things are going to be more liberal and they're gonna have a lot longer opportunity for people to have abortions.

Some places that might be less, but you know what that is up to the people of the states. And Donald Trump I think has been very clear that it should never have been in the hands of the federal government. It should have never been in the hands of the federal government it should have never been in the hands of the united states supreme court to decide it should be up to the people well he's moonwalking now he said uh he said some abortion laws are too tough and need to be redone and he said in his fox news town hall uh this past wednesday that they're going to be redone well i think that's up to the states and the states have to vote on it but he said i want nothing to do with it you know you know donald trump always talks about fake news right and recently me and my co-host over here

was talking about a commercial we saw and they chopped up the commercial and put it out it was fake news and it was showing that we were going against kamala harrison supporting donald trump oh you guys here yes did you see the commercial i know what you're talking it's been all over tv ads so what do you say about something like that that's fake news that we see so much that was literally cut up and spliced and made look that was totally not what it was well I haven't seen that one

I know what you're I know what you're referencing I haven't seen that one so I can't really opine on that but you're saying that not everybody does that

no it's fake news I'm just asking it's just weird to throw it out there and talk about fake news but that was totally fake and it just seemed totally falsified

well I I would like if you want to pull it up I'll take a fake news, but that was totally fake, and it just seemed totally falsified. Well, I would like to, if you want to pull it up, I'll take a look at it. I haven't seen that one. Do you listen to the show? I do sometimes. You know Charlamagne has probably given Donald Trump donkey of the day the most donkey out of everybody. I'm fair and balanced though. It's an accolade,

so thank you, Charlamagne. I give all elected officials donkey of the day. He just gives it a little more. Well, I like that you say that you're Charlemagne. I give all elected officials. He just gives a little more. Well, I like that you say that you're independent. Yeah, that you're not affiliated with any party. That's cool. I like that. I think that we all know that this election and all elections come down to independent voters.

So we're working hard for your vote, Charlemagne. You're not getting it. I'm never going for Kamala Harris. I don't know. How much longer do we have? How much longer do we have? Trump wants to jail journalists. I'm never going for Kamala Harris. I don't know. How much longer do we have? How much longer do we have? Trump wants to jail journalists. You know, I'm a radio personality.

We have jobs. That's what they said. He wants to break up media monopolies. No, no, no. Forget the media monopolies. He said out of his mouth. He said it numerous times. He was with, I think it was, he was sitting with Ben Shapiro the other day and he was

like, watch what I do. I think it was with the New York Times. He said, watch what I do today. The New York Times is one of the most dishonest of all. I watch this New York Times and it's a classic. When you see what I'm going to do with them, you're going to have so much fun. You say you want to take CBS News license.

He literally said he wants to jail journalists who oppose him. And you believe that? Did he jail journalists whenever he was in the White House? So why are you saying? My thing is this. Why say things that he doesn't believe if he doesn't want us to believe? Well, I would have to actually hear him say that because you may have heard of something called sarcasm and Donald Trump operates in that quite a bit. And sometimes the things that he says, I think, get misconstrued.

He's being sarcastic about things and joking about a lot of things. And then people say, wait a minute, he says this, that and the other. He's running for president. He still does not want to consider himself a politician, albeit he's been president, obviously. You know, looking out on the outside, he looks mean, right? Yeah. You know, grab a bite of p***y and mentally disabled and mentally impaired and a very dumb person. Oh, you got your notes over there.

Okay. No, because you said he was joking. That's what I was asking, because you said, oh, he's just joking when he says things like that. So what's your thought when he calls, especially another woman mentally disabled, mentally despaired, and, you know, called over p***y? What are your thoughts when he says things like that. So what's your thought when he calls, especially another woman, mentally disabled, mentally despaired and, you know, called over? What are your thoughts when he says things like that? I'm talking, I guess we talk about Kamala Harris. Joe Biden became mentally impaired, said, but lying Kamala Harris.

Honestly, I believe she was born that way. There's something wrong with Kamala. Some of the things you have to ask yourself, I don't know, how smart can a person be if this is the way that they are operating? And I think that's his whole point. We want somebody who's going to do the job and do it well. And the proof is in the pudding.

You had Donald Trump for four years, saw how he did the job, you saw how your life was. Take a look around right now. Doesn't feel very good for many people. All well we appreciate you for joining us well thank you guys i'm glad to be here discussion yeah the co-chair of the republican national committee thank you so much for joining us you got it it's laura and i and it's interesting to me uh how i do watch y'all and i do see the conversations that y'all are willing to have. Yeah. And I think that there's something to that. I'm here.

Yes. Absolutely. Thank you. We appreciate it. It's Laura Trump. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Are the Magabots swarming the commons yet?

Not yet. You know the Magabots coming. They'll get up to 8. Get up to 8. What you mean? They'll get up to 8 a.m. You're crazy. They don't sleep.

What the hell you talking about? Good morning, everybody. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to Jess with the mess with Laura La a.m.? You're crazy. They don't sleep. What the hell are you talking about? Good morning, everybody. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to Jess with the mess with Lauren LaRosa. News is real, brother. News is real. Lauren's Jessica Robin Moore. Jess don't do no lies.

Don't do no lies. She don't spare nobody. Worldwide Jess. Worldwide mess. On The Breakfast Club. She's a coach of shoes. With Lauren LaRosa. I'm back. and i got the mess talk to me well and more trump news uh he has some new supporters that popped out over the weekend

antonio brown uh levi on ball uh uh okay give me a second levi on bell now they're antonio brown i think wasn't as controversial because it's antonio brown and he does he does the things all the time right like seeing him pop out with trump and you know he's been up under kanye to me that i was kind of i wasn't surprised to see it right it was a little bit expected uh levy on bell though he wore a t-shirt while at the one of the rallies um backstage at one of the rallies that got people pretty pissed off. The T-shirt said Trump of the Trump 2024. And it had Kamala on there. Trump on a T-shirt as well, too.

So people were pissed off about this shirt saying, like, you know, you can choose to vote for and support whoever you want to support. But now the insults going a black woman's way are getting a bit out of hand here. But there was that that didn't surprise me either though because i lived through a hillary clinton presidential campaign so you know sexism is going to be a part of it when a woman runs he's a and he's a former uh pittsburgh stealer player now he's boxing right he's boxing now right and he wore that shirt for people that don't know who levi on bell is people who know him just in case um another supporter though some people may not know her i feel like a lot of people know her especially

online uh well newly supporter but then decided to step away from it was alexis sky so if you do not know who alexis sky is alexis sky uh she was formerly loving hip-hop she's big on social media she at one point had was known as um the mother of a child with Fetty Wap. But then it came to find out that it was not Fetty Wap's daughter. But her daughter, she is a mom of a disabled daughter, Aaliyah Grace. So over the weekend, there was an interview that came out with Alexis Skye. She was on Kiss 104.1. And she talked about her support for Trump and why she was supporting Trump. Let's take a listen.

I'm voting for Trump. Let's talk about it. I'm voting for Trump. What's the energy behind it? What's the thought process behind it? I just feel like when Trump was around, I just feel like things were different. People had their opinion on him. I do think that Trump could be a little extra, but he gets the job done.

All my friends are voting for Trump. I feel like the younger generation, Trump has a lock. He had, it was more money flowing for us. So get up and go vote because it's super important. If you want Trump to win, go vote for him. If you want the other one to get up and go vote because it's super important if you want Trump to win go vote for him if you want the other one to win then go vote for her Camilla Camila I don't know how to say her name I didn't want to say her name Camila knowing all white men's names but not knowing women of color names when

you're a woman of color don't sit right with me I'm still surprised people can't pronounce a name which is the craziest thing ever. They can't. They just do it as a twine. I feel like that was definitely a troll by Alexis. Now, what was even worse was when she, that interview when I was speaking to trolls, what, oh baby, she was dragged. The biggest thing

that most people were echoing is you're getting out here, you're telling people to vote. Whoever you decide to vote for is your business, but when you got on this platform and wanted to lead people to sway them one way, there should have been a little bit more research done because you are a mother of a child with disabilities. And Trump is actively on this campaign trail talking about what he wants to do when it talks about defunding the Department of Education, which would affect if it goes into place. It definitely could affect the way way that you know funding for kids who are learning with disabilities and low-income kids how that happens so people are like well i'm kind of confused how do you as a mom of a daughter with disabilities even side with the person

you know who would even be taking resources away from your child so after all that dragging started alexa sky posted a statement said the interview i did regarding voting was done prior to trump's statement on the department of education initially initially i wanted to vote for trump for my own personal reasons after familiarizing myself with both candidates i will no longer be voting for him and then she put november 4th and so basically what she's saying is after he sat with i think it was fox and friends and talked about uh the department of education and what he wants to do there she backed away but he's been going back and forth about this department of education taking money away from them and restructuring that for a very long time now for since like

august september yeah and that lets me know she doesn't know much about trump if that's the statement that made her back away like listen vote for whoever you want to vote for just make sure you are making an informed decision and be willing to deal with the consequences of said decision but i'm telling you right now most people who tell me they're voting for trump either a not informed on trump like they believe they are or b just simply don't care and they agree with him and his authoritarian rhetoric and i'm not mad at anybody for choosing to do whatever they want to do but i do think like when you get out there on a public platform is is you you leave yourself open for people to have questions and i think you should keep it to yourself if your question if your answers to those questions aren't the best thing what you said i think for people to have questions. And I think you should keep it to yourself

if your question, if your answers to those questions aren't going to make sense. That's the best thing that you said. I think it's going to have to get to the point where people keep it to themselves, right? You hear both sides and then you vote for

what you want to vote for. Like, where people say and what they feel because people are basing how, they look at people based off who you're voting for. Right? And I don't think that's right.

You should be able to vote for whoever you want to vote for. Well, in most cases. But now when it comes to somebody like Trump, like I said, either if you're voting for Trump, you either a not informed on Trump like you believe you are or B, just simply don't care. And you agree with his authoritarian rhetoric. There's no other way around it. There's no other way. And when you say, you know, more money was flowing. They talking about those stimulus checks and PPP loans. but everybody forgets that it was a whole pandemic millions of people had to die from covid for those checks to be kicked out he didn't just give y'all money and can i also say during that same pandemic because she's in atlanta so i know in atlanta some people in atlanta like

they only was crazy right they only felt the money because they outside they have a time and i get it i know she was in atlanta she's back and forth you know sometimes i think she i don't quote me on miami but i think i know her to be there a little bit too during the pandemic too trump also threatened to take away money from school if it tried to take away money from schools that way 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. 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.

So I don't got time for the foolishness let's just get right to it steve is under investigation after he was accused of reenacting the murder of george floyd in the classroom not just reenacting the murder of george floyd but making racially harmful comments and twisting a student's arm behind the child's back during classes at a high school in woodbury minnesota let's go to cbs CBS News Minnesota for the report, please.

The images are hard to see, a reenactment of the police actions that resulted in the murder of George Floyd. We do know the substitute teacher in question, Stephen Williams, is no longer employed by the staffing agency. Williams is a police officer in Prescott, Wisconsin. The police chief there says he is on administrative leave pending the results of an investigation into the matter. It was egregious, it was insensitive, and it was racist. Racial justice advocates say more needs to be done. He needs to be banned. I also believe he needs to be fired. Who wants that kind of person coming to your door if you have to make a 911 call? Who harbors a lot of racial animus,

who claims police brutality doesn't exist, and who was willing to demonstrate a very deadly police technique on a young black boy. Woodbury High School issued a statement to parents about what they described as a racially harmful situation that affected the school community. It listed comments and actions students described, including claims that he can get away with murder and that police brutality is not real. Now, I'm not about to sit here and discuss with you why this was wrong. I would rather talk to you about beating people up.

Okay, see, Steve Williams, you need your ass beat. All right, and furthermore, if I have to explain to you why he needs his ass beat, then guess what, you need your ass beat all right and furthermore if i have to explain to you why he needs his ass beating guess what you need your ass beat too imagine your child comes home and tells you that a teacher substitute otherwise put a student on the ground in front of the class as part of a reenactment of the police actions that resulted in the murder of george floyd george floyd the brother who died in 2020 after a white uh minneapolis police officer derrick chauvin knelt on his neck for nine and a half minutes as George pleaded for help and said he could not breathe. Can you imagine your child telling you not only did a teacher lay you on the ground to reenact George Floyd,

but the teacher twisted your arm and was spewing racially harmful comments? That's when I start doing jail math. OK, see, jail math is when you start calculating if you can afford to go to jail. You start doing the math in your head. Okay, Steve going to catch these hands, but I'm going to catch this charge. I'm going to need money for bail. I'm going to need money for a lawyer, but it's okay because my God is an awesome God and God will provide a way because today I have to do the devil dirty because of what Satan did to my seed, my child, my heart outside my body.

Can you imagine as a father, I can feel the pain this family is feeling for their child child today now the school said what he did was reprehensible uh he's on administrative leave they said he was removed from the classroom and barred from stepping foot on any district property but see what folks don't understand about situations like that is the trauma that child will feel the trauma that child's parents will feel. That's going to last a lifetime. OK, it takes a lot of work to regulate your body after experiencing certain traumas and a trauma like that. Who's going to pay for my therapy and counseling? What if I want to do movement based practices like yoga, dancing, exercise? Who's going to pay for that? That's

why I just got a box. OK, I got to beat you up. All right. By the way, I'm not encouraging violence. I'm encouraging defending my child from some bum ass substitute teacher. Okay, we just got a box. I saw Remy Ma say something a couple of days ago, and I agree with it. I like talking about fighting. Sometimes people be needing hands put on them. That's it. Like that is it.

Because when you do something like this to someone's child, you are showing a total disregard for that child's family. You think that child's family is OVO. The other vaginal option. You're just assuming this child comes from a long line of sweets. Okay? That's the only conclusion I can come to. How can you do something like this to a child?

Okay, and not think there's at least one man, at least one man in this young man's life that loves them and is willing to crash out behind them. Steve, you got to show me. Okay, when you disrespect my child, you disrespected me. When you do that to my child, you have done that to me. Now I need my child to stay in a child's place and i need to see if steve really crashed something okay you gotta show me that you could do that to a grown-ass man please let remi ma give steve williams the biggest hee-haw hee-haw hee-haw you stupid mother are you dumb i'm not about to go back and forth with you on why this reenactment was wrong

i'd rather fight all right let's just I agree. Nothing else to talk about. What are we talking about? You said you could fight, right? Who? You. Didn't you tell me that? You got hands? Nope.

I'm just saying because you definitely should fight. You can't go there and lose. Nope. I'll figure out a way to win though. Can't go there and lose. That is like, I don't know,

against a civil rights act or something. I'll figure out a way to win. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey today. Yes, indeed. Now, you mentioned Remy Ma. Salute to Remy Ma. I seen her at the game this weekend.

Dropping a clues bomb for Remy Ma. I see Remy in a minute. We were talking and she heard us on the radio talking about the time you brought her to South Carolina. And I said, yeah. Charlamagne said he had you on the back blocks. She said, envy. There was no blocks.

I didn't say that. She said it was a There was no blocks. I didn't say that. She said it was a dirt road. Yes, I believe it. She said, I thought. She said, I ain't never said no back blocks. Why do I say back blocks? That's because where we from, it's like back blocks. But where he's from, it's like back woods.

She said it was dirt roads. She said, I thought Charlamagne was trying to off me. She said it was so dark and there was no streets. It was just dirt. It was just forest and dirt. She said, I thought Charlamagne was trying to off me. It was probably like 07, 06, 07. When Remy went in, I don't remember.

Yeah, it was like 06, 07, maybe early 08. Yeah. I don't remember. Somerton, South Carolina. There was a club out there called Club New Vibe. Drop on the clues bombs for Club New Vibe. Swan and Cheese used to own Club New Vibe back in the day. Yes.

Yeah. All right. Well, salute to Remy Ma. Letive back in the day. Yes. Yeah. All right. Well, salute to Remy Ma. Let Remy Ma be great. She got a new project coming out shortly, too. She said she's going to come up in a little bit. But let her be great. Leave her alone.

She's in her Martha Stewart world right now. She's cooking. She's being- But ain't nothing wrong with what she said. Play what she said again, right? This is a great advice. I don't think so. I don't even like talking about fighting.

Sometimes people be needing hands put on them. That's right. Every now and then. Every now and then. Every now and then. That's all I'm saying. Oh boy. Good morning, Remy. Very sound advice for him. Very sound advice on a Monday morning. Good morning, Rem. Alright, now when we

come back, comedian Marlon Wayans, actor Marlon Wayans, director Marlon Wayans will be joining us. He's on tour right now. The Wild Child Comedy Tour we're going to kick it with him when we come back don't move it's The Breakfast Club

good morning The Breakfast Club morning everybody it's DJ Envy Jess Hilarious Charlamagne Tha Guy we are The Breakfast Club Jess is still on maternity leave

Lauren LaRose is filling in and we got a special guest in the building I didn't even know it was him I seen him in the hall I stood inside I was like I was looking like what rapper is that what New York rapper is that Lola Rose was filling in and we got a special guest in the building. I didn't even know it was him. I seen him in the hall. I stood inside. I was like, who the hell? I was looking like, what rapper is that?

I was like, what New York rapper is that? The funny thing is, we said Marlon looked like a rapper. Don't no rappers love to stage like Marlon? This stay. He stay working. Stay. He never want to be home. He on the Watch All Comedy Tour right now.

He hate his house. No, you know what? I do kind of hate my house. But the thing is, I just love working. I've always loved working. And finally, I got something I love to do. And I'm getting better. And I just go.

The more time I stay on the stage, and I think because I started late, it's not like I'm tired of it yet, right? So most of the time, I'm like dyslexic with life in my career. Like, you're supposed to start out doing stand-up. I started out writing and producing and creating, creating my TV show when I was, Wayne's brother, when I was like 20. You know, writing and producing

my own movies with my brothers from Don't Be a Menace, the scary movie, you know, and doing my own stuff, Haunted House. And then at 39,

I was like, yeah, I think I'm gonna take stand-up serious and I'm gonna go do stand-up. And everybody's like, why the f*** would you do that now?

You already made it. And I was like, cause I think there's, there's more to get. I think I could be better. I've been a star for 20-something years. I want to be a superstar. And the only way to get there

is just doing the work. So I just started doing stand-up. And you had your four, I remember one time you came in, you said you had four specials planned. It was going to be God Loves Me, Good Grief, now you're doing the Wild Child.

So it's Wild Child, the third and something? No, because I did my first two already. The first one was Woke-ish. Second one was You Know What It Is. It's on HBO Max. Third one was God Loves Me. The fourth one, Good Grief.

And between that, I had the headliners, which was me and my boys, Sidney Castillo, Tony Baker, D.C. Irvin. Shout out to all my people, Esau McGraw. And then now I'm working on the Wild Child Tour. But I probably named this one Skittles. And I'm ready to film this like now. The more I keep doing it, now I got like two hours. And that's really hard to cut down to an hour.

So I want to hurry up and do it so I know my next three. So for me, I want to get this done and retire it so I can clear the canvas and paint something new. So what is Skittles? Taste the rainbow? You really about to just say f***? You really about to? He wasn't here for last time. He wasn't here for last time.

He wasn't here last time. I wasn't here. He wasn't here last time. Nah, it's kind of owed to my trans child. Got you. Shut your ass right up, huh? No, that's what I mean. That's what I'm doing.

I think you're going to tell everybody f*** and everybody will give you flack because you posted all the pictures. I tripled down. I don't believe in, no, no. You want to start this? We're going to keep on going. We're going to keep on going. No, I'm going to keep on going. We're going to keep on digging.

No, you started it. So, you know, but it's not even about them. It's really about me and my transition as a human. I throw myself under the bus because i wasn't with i wasn't like yeah this is great when they first you know decided to go down this this this road i was against it because i'm like yo you're not looking at life you know you're doing this now in your youth you may regret this when you like 45 and you have a kid and you ain't got no the breastfeed jesus christ so you know as a parent i was like you know protesting but at the same time i went through this journey from ignorance and defiance to complete acceptance

and i just think a lot of people need to hear the truth and hear a story i tell funny truths things that you know hurt me or things that you know i i'm i'm imperfect and i'm not all the way you know there i don't always have the right answers but i think it's good to be human and be human on the stage because when you talk about truth now you're not just telling jokes now you're actually healing there's people in the audience i got people coming up to me after my show's crying like oh my god and they did it with good grief and they doing it now with the wild child tour it's crazy does your son get offended does your son said dad enough now like this is you've been on the breakfast club twice talking about it you've been talking like enough is enough oh they

tired of my but see you like your college paid for so what i i gotta do is i gotta talk about things i'm sorry baby you know dad gonna do what he do i always wanted to know what with your son did you have to sit down and say okay well explain it to me break it down because we come from a different place where jokes is jokes did you have to sit down and be like explain what you want me to say what you want me to call you how you feel this any other did you have to go through that yes and it was so damn confusing because you know they started with pronouns and i'm like look i went to public school in new york city i don't know no pronouns i know nouns and. That's all they taught us. So they broke it down and all this. And it's just too much.

And then I got to change from calling them she to now he and they. And I'm like, they is two of you. What's what's. I don't I don't understand. Oh, my God. They are the most confusing one. I'm just so confused. But they took me through the tutorial and they know that sometimes I still because, you know, 23 years you were her. And now they and they give me through the tutorial and they know that sometimes i still because you know for 23

years you were her and now they and and they give me grace but you know they know he knows you still love them they know i love them they they he yeah they know i love them i'll fight i'll die for them no matter what don't matter you know that's my child you know i mean and and i think all parents should uh defend and uh pull up for their children. You know, that's my child. I want them to be happy. And if that makes them happy, I'm happy for them. We saw you come to Boosie's defense when the back and forth was happening online with his daughter. Have you guys spoken?

Do other parents call you because you're very open about your journey? No, I get fricassee. People fried me up for coming to his defense. They did, for sure. But I wasn't coming to his defense. I'm telling people, hey, man, y'all mind your business and let families work out their shit. That's private between him and his daughter. And they don't need your fuel.

They don't need my fuel. But I'm telling you, when you're ironing out your personal problems, that's between him and his daughter. And everybody got something to say. That's what I don't like about social media. That man is dealing with his child, and they need to express themselves and hold space. We live in a society where we're unforgiving and all we do is add fuel to fires and watch it burn and applaud. And I'm just like, yo, let that man hold space. It takes him time.

When it first happened to me, it takes him time when it first happened to me it took me time you can't expect somebody to instantly be like i accept everything it takes time and god has his way of talking to each and every one of us we all gonna have our sit down with god i had mine you know and he will have his and i'll hold space that that man changes his point of view and that him and his child come together and love each other like any black father and black daughter or wife

or daughter, father, period. That's what I want. I agree with that, but you and your child didn't work it out through social media. No, we didn't.

Like, Boosie was in interviews talking and then... Because my child been unfollowed me. And his child replied to an interview he did. That's the problem I be having. Like, don't tell your personal business in these interviews if you don't want the world to have an opinion about it.

Yes, but, you know, and that's to their fault. But they figured it out. And, you know, as they should. But I just hold space and hold space for prayer and hold space within myself that people can grow up, that people can change. Every person should have the opportunity to change. Even brothers that are in prison, there's a reason why there's prison. It's time for you to sit and time out and have conversations with God and reform. But when they come out, we should applaud them for the time they did.

They did the time. Now, let's hold space that they're better people. All right, we got more with Marlon Wayans when we come back he's on the wild child comedy tours the breakfast club good morning everybody it's dj nv jess hilarious charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club laura rosa filling in for jess now we're still kicking with marlon wayans now let me ask you a question oh i don't got myself in trouble you said prison i'm just i'm just curious how many times have people asked you have you ever been to a Diddy party? They pulled up that tweet.

What the f*** they got to do in prison? How you get that from prison? Because Diddy's in prison. It just made me think about it. I seen the baby oil behind you. It just made me think about it. That's crazy. You do have a baby oil.

All right. So here's the thing. I've been to 10, 15. I know Puff since he was Puff. I knew when we went to college together. So I went to Howard. I always, always wanted to go to Diddy parties. He's at the hottest parties in D.C.

I was too young to get into those. But when I got to L.A. and throughout the years, the 90s, come on, man, I'm biggie. I've been around a long time. And I will say this, I've never, I've been to maybe 10, 15, some of this house. I've never seen s***.

I have never. You put a lot of detector tests on me when they're like, oh, well, there's videos. Great. Show me. You're going to see me sipping some rock. 15 some of this house i've never seen i have never you put a lot of debt to test on me when they're like oh well there's videos great show me you're gonna see me sipping serac and maybe pushing the deli on to the side that's too strong but you ain't nasty you gotta put a little uh you gotta put a little serac in your deli on. But, you know, I've never seen any of the stuff that they say happened. I've never been to a freak off. That's just not, and that's just not my vibes.

That's not Wayne's vibes. Beyond that, I got to honor, I go to a party or whatever, but I always got my mother, my father, and God. And you can be around things and then go, yeah, this ain't for me. That's just never been my vibe. I don't get off i don't even like watching porn with bbc no i want my to be the only bbc in the room when you hear these stories and you know they be tragic stories you hope that none of this you hope it's

not true but you gotta listen to the you know the alleged victims yes did you have jokes immediately like when you read some of this stuff a A billion of them. Oh, my God. I had puff up. I said, man, I got some jokes for you. I'm not sure you want to hear them right now. Did he respond? Oh, listen, I hear him. I've known these guys my whole life.

I've been growing up in Hollywood. When it happened to Russell Simmons, I hit Russell Simmons up, and I said, hey, we're having a terrible week. So, yeah, I hit them up on their worst day, you know, and I hold prayer because I know the kids. And I'm just like and I'm not excusing any of those actions. I saw the Cassie tape that hurt my feeling and hurt my feelings to see a black man do that to any woman or any man do that to a woman. I wasn't raised like that. But as much as I see that video and I heard for her, you know there's a part of me that hurts for that little boy in there that was taught that kind of toxic behavior.

And I pray that he heals. I pray that he's sitting with God right now. I don't need to throw that man under a bus. God is talking to Puff right now, and that's between God and him. And whatever happens, happens, and that's between him and God. But I'm going to pray for those kids. I'm going to pray for the family. I'm not going to act like stuff didn't happen.

And I ain't going to act like I ain't got no jokes. I got some wonderful jokes that I got in my show. You got a baby oil joke? Oh, everybody got a baby oil joke. You got a thousand bottles of baby oil. But everybody got jokes and he know what it is. thousand bottles of 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. 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.

What was going on in the world at the time made this fight as important that anything else is going on on the planet.

My grandfather laid on the ropes and let George Foreman basically just punch himself out. Welcome to Rumble, the story of a world in transformation.

God created you all for a special reason. Like the same way there's doctors and, you know, lawyers. Like you need comedians in the world.

And you need, you know, you need journalists. You need comedians in the world. And you need journalists. You need people that sit there and ask the hard questions. I seen you had that lady sweating, the Trump lady. Oh, Laura Trump. Laura Trump. Yeah, she was sweating up a storm. Started looking just like her father-in-law. I said, this crazy.

I don't even like to talk about it. Which one? When Damon Wayans was up here all day. I think that's the one that made him stop doing stand-up. Because that's why Damon had to do stand-up.

Because he felt like the world became so judgmental. And I think he's right, but he's not. What I found is the world is judgmental on social media. When I go to comedy shows, people want to laugh. I agree. The audience wants to laugh. Social media got the studios f***ed up. They're not making comedies because they're scared to make comedies.

They don't think people want to laugh. And I'm like, you are so wrong. And that's why we coming back. We're in the four or five. We about dunk hauling them. People need to laugh. And I know my purpose. I look at how depressed the world feels. And we need to laugh again. know my purpose you know i look at how depressed the

world feels and we need to laugh again like i don't care where it comes from how it comes you take the darkest subject the darkest topic and you go here's what's funny that is what my job is you know i mean you can't criticize a fireman for not putting out part of a fire that's right he goes into burning buildings to find bodies i go into burning buildings to find jokes and that's what i do for a living and i'm never gonna not tell jokes period and if you get canceled good you know what canceled means that means that the real is staying and i'm going home yeah everybody don't got the backing that y'all some communities are scared because they can't just walk away from stuff or they're scared that brands walk away from them now i got

no money they don't have no ability like you guys have a it's different for the way you got the stage. Because we have a brand right? Our brand has stood the test of times. We started in the 80s, right? This is generational

and now by 40 40 years. That's beautiful between me Damon Sean sean keenan kim that's 230 years of comedy between each one of us like we are masters at joke telling people trust our brand with finding the light when we did in living color you know damon doing uh and and david and david doing men on film that's the first time gay people were introduced into your living room and people felt like oh this is safe even gay people loved um uh men on film because the way we do things is we try to do it with kids gloves we want the people

that we make in front of to be like oh that was funny that's why you can't cancel us for white chicks you don't love white chicks the most white chicks so the people that we send up usually laugh the loudest and i'm sure people need to laugh so that way is brand we coming back with the comedy tour after not i didn't say it was a comedy but i'm on a comedy tour the wild child the point is everything was got the wayans brother comedy tours that was tricky that was all you almost got me you almost got me on that one but before we drop drop i got your number i'm gonna call you and i'm gonna tell you and i got your number you got my number we appreciate you for joining us you asked me all these hot questions now i'm gonna get a collect

Why are you saying you don't know like that? Because I don't know. Say it one more time. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Why are you saying you don't know like that? Because I don't know. Say it one more time. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. What a crazy human.

I hate this place. All right. Well, let's get to Jessica the Mess with Lauren La Rosa. News is real, brother. This is Lauren Jessica Robin Moore. Jess don't do no lying. Don't do no lying. She don't spare nobody.

Worldwide Jess. Worldwide mess. On The Breakfast Club. She's a spare nobody. Worldwide Jess, worldwide mess. On The Breakfast Club. She's a coachess. With Lauren, Lauren LaRosa. I'm back. And I got the mess. Talk to me.

So we wanted to take some time right now to send a huge congratulations to Jonquell Jones, who won the WNBA's MVP last night. She averaged 17.8 points with 7.6 rebounds while shooting 56% from the field during the 2024 finals. And I know earlier we talked about all the back and forth about that call. And

Sharla thought he was doing his big one. What? Behind the scenes you were trying to call me out. For what? You said that I didn't give sis her love. So I'm the scenes, you were trying to call me out. What? You said that I didn't give sis her love, so I'm making sure I give her love to her. I didn't say that.

You did say, oh, now you know what you said. Oh, that's your conscience eating you up because you was talking about all those white women who didn't have good games

last night, and if it wasn't for that sister, the Liberty wouldn't have won at all. It's a team game. Salute to Breonna Stewart and salute to Sabrina, but they did not show up last night,

but that woman did. JJ. Yes. Joppa Jones. That's right. And she's the MVP. Whether it's Bleacher Report, ESPN, they are making it known that without her, the game wouldn't even have been won. They wouldn't even have been close.

We have audio from her. So you didn't see her initially. That's why I brought her up behind the scenes. Can we hear her? You don't want the world to hear the black woman, huh? Go ahead, Ray. I could never dream of this mean y'all y'all know my story y'all know many times i've been denied it but it was delayed that's all it was and i'm so happy to do it here just in case you don't know her story you left home at 13 years old you left the bahamas to come and live with strangers so you could chase your basketball dream what do you have to say to your friends and family and everyone who sacrificed for you so much along the way to have this moment?

That I'm here because of them. That all the sacrifices that they made have allowed me to be the person that I am today. Coach Rich is here today. My mom is here today. My fiance is here today. But God is good. And none of this happens without my teammates and without the people that have poured into me

and without these amazing fans. You thought her clapping with the crowd. Go Charlotte. I was happy for her because she was balling out last night. Like, she was really the only reason that they won that game. Love that for her. And so for her to win the MVP, that was big. Yes, congratulations.

Yeah, congratulations. Now... Dope, dope, dope, dope, dope. She looked at the whole liberty as well. Something that will not need applause. There are new Diddy filings. So, Tony Busby, who promised us, what he said, over 120 lawsuits. Yep.

Just dropped some new lawsuits this week. Actually, last night, Sunday night, he filed seven new lawsuits. I'm about to ask, how do you file on a Sunday when the courts are closed? I don't know. I guess you put it in on a Sunday when the courts are closed. I don't know. And what does it say that those new seven, I didn't even know about them. I didn't see them in the news.

Was it because of the football? Because the basketball was on? It was a lot going on over the weekend. But I also just think, too, that now they're coming so often that it's not, oh my God, breaking news anymore. It's just news now because Diddy is who Diddy is. So all of these. Remember I asked you that last week? I said, is there exhaustion?

Yeah. Yes. So all of these lawsuits, I will not go through all seven. I'm going to just summarize a bit. All of these lawsuits, there are different allegations of rape, sexual assault, sexual harassment,

battery, false imprisonment by Diddy allegedly between 2000 and 2022 in New York, Los Angeles, and las vegas now all of these alleged victims are all of these alleged incidents occurred at parties that were allegedly hosted by diddy so some things to point out that are different in these new filings than the other ones that we've seen um there are a lot more people that are alleging it just happened to them under age two people out of the lawsuits uh say one one of them says that they were says that they were 13 years old the other one says they were 17. um the total of seven lawsuits is

broken down into three women who filed for men they filed as jane and john does um it's also worth noting that these lawsuits are more recent so before when we've been having conversations outside of uh cassie's situation um a lot of the lawsuits have been from like you know in the 90s or 98 or whatever these ones are all happening between 2000 and uh 2022 now in the last 22 years yeah so specifically like there's one uh jane doe who says that when she was 13 she went to a after party for the vmas and she was given something to drink and you know 13 yeah she said she was 13 uh she was given something to drink she became disoriented and then she was uh then raped allegedly by diddy and a bunch of different other people another thing to mention about these new lawsuits too

is that this is the first time in any of the filings that celebrities are actually named however no celebrities are identified like they're saying that other celebrities were involved but they don't say the actual names of who the celebrities are. And none of these other celebrities have been listed as defendants. So, yeah. And Diddy's team is still denying this. They actually just reissued the same statement they issued to Tony Busby's file. It's the first time saying that this is all just for publicity and that, you know, they'll see that they're in court when it comes to this. Now, and wrapping up this hour, Trinaina you guys remember we talked about trina she's been sitting down having conversations with people as she promotes her books her book the baddest

now she sat down with keisha k or and for keisha k or show and they talked about her marriage a bit and trina revealed some news that has the internet streets buzzing. Let's take a listen. Did you get a prenup? I didn't. Why not? Because my husband brings all of his money to me. What? So I'm in charge. He can't spend a dime without my consent.

He can't spend a dime for nothing unless it goes through me. That's what I'm talking about. That phone go to ring it up, that thing go to, I see everything. That's what I'm talking about. Y'all, why are people mad that trina says she didn't get a prenup if if that's how her house if her household is set up that way and she good with that you know i mean why why would that upset somebody people not really mad people just need something to talk about on social media like that's literally what it is

they can't possibly care what goes on in the in their household financially you better worry about your household yeah making sure that your light stay on. I don't understand why people are so upset. My mom and dad did the same thing. My dad worked. He gave his check to my mom. We're talking to Dr. Alfie. My grandmother literally would tell me all the time, men bring the check home.

That's how they were raised. My parents did the same thing. I do the same thing. I don't buy anything without speaking to my wife. My wife doesn't buy anything without speaking to me and by the way when we say upset right i didn't even know they were upset till you said it just now so it just means that what she said sparked conversation oh it did it yes and the conversation was people felt like number one she shouldn't have said that because it embarrasses her man it uh what they say he emasculates emasculates whatever

that wording is her man um it's basically he's not a man if you bring your check home and your wife is in charge of all your money. And you can't do anything financially without her having to say so. And I'm like, I don't know no married couple. I don't know no married couple that. Unmarried, broke people. Shut up. And by the way, it's not even about being broke, right? It's just that, what if the woman's just better at finances?

What if the woman's just better at organizing the money? What if the woman's just better at paying the bills? What if the woman's just better at using the money for the the woman's just better at paying the bills what if the woman's just better at you know using the money for the groceries and everything else like what are you talking about shut up like shut your unmarried asses up don't make no sense do y'all feel like do y'all i think also too a part of the conversation was because we know trina but a lot of people are getting to know him you don't know trina well i'm saying trina is a celebrity right but we don't know her husband We're getting to know him now because it's Trina's husband. So people feel like she should have gotten a prenup to protect herself.

But we don't know Trina. We know Trina the rapper. We don't know her personal life, where she goes, to how she is. My question was going to be to the room. What if he rich? I was about to say. You don't know that, man. Do y'all feel like just because Trina is a celebrity, even if he is rich, she should have gotten a prenup?

He might be richer. I think that that's a personal decision. What they mad about again now? Explain this to me now. Y'all Negroes be confusing me. Oh yeah, I gotta bring back the raise your hand and help Unk out because sometimes I be needing to help Unk out.

What exactly are they mad about again? Because her man bring her money, the full check home. Nothing wrong with that. Can't do nothing without Trina greenlighting it financially. And she shouldn't have told the world that is what the people were saying.

And she's rich so she need to have a prenup and we don't know what her man makes. I don't have a problem with that. I don't have a problem with none of that. That man might have a car fetish. That man might have a sneaker fetish. That man might be blowing money on stupid stuff and he needs somebody to say,

no, pump your brakes. Before I go buy jeans, I call my wife. Okay. It is what it is. Why? You want to know if they look cute? Bro, I'm telling her I'm spending money

and I want to know how they look. Yeah, that's kind of gay. Babe, is this stone stone Wash good on me What ways Do it be giving Do it be giving You want a husband You want a husband
