Lauren LaRosa filling in for Jess, and let's get in some front page news.

Start off with some quick sports. The Bills beat the Jaguars last night, 47-10. And the Commanders beat the Bengals, 38-33. Commanders Commanders beat the Bengals 38-33. Commanders were like number one in the division. We're next to you, right? Jesus. Alright. I don't pay attention to stuff like that. I figured you wouldn't. Morning, Morgan!

Good morning, good morning. Happy Tuesday, y'all. Good morning. So, President, excuse me, the U.S. is sending additional forces to the Middle East. President Biden, he addressed the rising tensions in. is sending additional forces to the Middle East. President Biden, he addressed the rising tensions in the region. Let's hear comments from Biden.

I've been briefed on the latest developments in Israel and Lebanon. My team is in constant contact with their counterparts and we're working to de-escalate in a way that allows people to return to their homes safely. So yesterday the Pentagon said the move to send a small number of troops to the region is out of an abundance of caution. Then the decision comes as tensions continue to escalate between Israel and the Iran-backed militia Hezbollah. Lebanese officials said Israeli strikes on Monday killed nearly 500 people, including children. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said,

I promised that we would change the balance of power in the north, and that is exactly what we are doing. Now, the airstrikes followed last week's attacks that targeted Hezbollah's communication devices, those pagers that went off, killing almost three dozen people and injuring thousands of others. Of course, you know, both sides claim they don't want uh tensions to escalate but this is what is happening so i'm going to report it um keeping you

abreast about what's going on in your city new york city leaders from around the world are in new york city for the u.n general assembly this weekend oh yeah we know we know i got out before the traffic yesterday oh Traffic was crazy yesterday. I didn't feel it at all. Good for y'all because that is exactly what I was getting ready to say. Security is tight and traffic is creating a headache in Midtown, especially the east side. President Biden is

expected to address the UN today and give an outgoing opportunity to outline his foreign policy um experts expect the ongoing conflicts in the middle east to be a dominant sideline uh or expected to dominate sideline discussions girl i'm getting it this morning okay anyways um she will not be attending the un gathering but will be meeting with world leaders

um this week including ukrainian president including Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky. So, of course, Patrick Freeney, he's with the Secret Service. He says they are on high alert. Let's hear from Freeney. There's been a global uptick in political violence, and that's what we're aware of. And that's what we bring forward, too, when we're planning out these visits and how to address that. Yes, so authorities say they are ready for protests, but they will not tolerate any property damage.

There are no known specific credible threats tied to the U.N. General Assembly. So, you know, again, just stay vigilant. If you are in New York, you know, you're going to be dealing with some traffic and maybe just plan ahead if you can. And pray for all those people at the U.N UN who got to sit through a President Biden speech. Lord have mercy. Jesus. I'm sure if they had a vote,

they would choose not to hear him speak. I mean, God dang. Someone else to do it. Lord have mercy. Okay. Well, speaking of sending somebody else to do it, New York City's Health Commissioner, Ashwin Vashon,

he is resigning after nearly two and a half years. Dr. Vashon, who is stepping down at the end of the year, says he's well aware of other high-profile city hall departures, but says that his decision is purely personal. Let's hear from him as he speaks on his decision. My focus has been on improving health with integrity, with good values, with ambition, and with follow-through. And that's my focus today. My focus yesterday. It's going to be my focus from now until the end of the year. I have three small kids all under the age of 11 and they need their dad. And so, you know, this is my time to say I'm prioritizing you.

Yeah, definitely. Yeah. So in a statement, Mayor Adams referred to Dr. Rashad Bashan as indispensable and added that he appreciates the doctor's decision to at least stay on by the till the end of the year while they find a successor. So we'll keep you posted on that. And on the in the next hour, we will, of course, get into more political news. We'll talk Trump. He was in Pennsylvania.

Now we got Jess with the mess with Laura LaRosa coming up. What we talking about? We do. We gotta talk about Young Dolph

and the alleged murders of Young Dolph. Just running down kind of what happened. It's really sad. Alright, we'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning everybody. It's DJ Envy. Jess Hilarious. Charlamagne Tha. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha God.

We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to Jess with the mess with Lauren LaRosa. News is real. Webber is the best. Lauren is 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. The culture. I'm back. And I got the man. Talk to me. Yesterday in court, the people who were charged with murdering young Dolph, the trial began. So the court listening, to open statements um and

a lot of statements from witnesses uh the two shooters Cornelius Smith and Justin Johnson um are the people in question and just I'm sorry Cornelius Smith actually took the scene yesterday and walked through everything that happened um now I want to note that Justin Johnson the other shooter, actually in the beginning of this pleaded not guilty to charges of conspiracy to commit first-degree murder, first-degree murder and being a convicted felon

in possession of a firearm. Now, there's a third guy. His name is Hernandez Govan. Hernandez Govan is not being charged as one of the shooters, but he is the drug dealer in the mix of this that I guess was cool with the guys and was trying to get them signed to CMG,

was like a friend. He's the one who actually, according to these defendants, he's the one who actually told them that Yo Gotti's brother, who he is alleging put out a hit on Young Dolph, had the hit out, had the bounty out for 100K

and Gotti's brother is joked. Let's take a listen to Cornel smith in court talking about what happened we knew that you know they had a hit on who had a hit on whose head big jerk had a hit on dog head or whatnot so how do you know that big jerk had a hit on dog head i could quit had told me to bet it quit and i was in being just how much How much money was it supposed to be? $100,000 on Darby. And had you agreed to do this hit? Yes, sir. Had Justin agreed to do this hit?

Yes, sir. Were you all going to do it together? Yeah, they been on it for you. Was there any arrangement as far as splitting money or anything? Yeah. Me and him, we should miss Bobby given quick 10,000 piece all right so you and him are gonna give go van 10,000 feet how much are you gonna get out again for you so in that video he is talking about how they were split the money he says I was getting 40 so Justin000. So Justin was going to get $40,000.

Cornelius Smith was going to get $40,000. And then 10K was going to go to the Govan guy, the Hernandez Govan, which was like the drug dealer, the person that put them on to the hit. That doesn't add up to the $100K. That's $90,000. Yeah, there's still 10K missing, but whatever. So once they're going through kind of like what happens they then begin um to they just go into a lot of detail let's take a listen to the second audio because i want you guys to hear kind of how they break down uh what their plans was about like how they were going to do it at first and how it ended up happening uh not at the turkey drive we knew they were going

to take the drag so we was actually on our way to westwood had Had you and Justin talked about this particular day before? Nah, that was in the daylight. We just knew that it would take a drag on every day of the week. You knew that, did the sheriff say that you knew Dolph was involved in these turkey drives this week before Thanksgiving? Yeah, we didn't know we were going to catch him, but we knew that his audience, everybody had a price on him. Everybody had a price on him. From Juk? Yeah, from Juk.

And that was going to be y'all's business this week? Yeah, that was our meeting. Now, Juk, who is Gotti's brother, was actually killed back in January at a funeral. But this part right here, I'm like, man, that turkey drive that Dol that dolph does he's been doing it for years so many people come out families kids his family could have been there just think about the fact that they were like you know wherever we see him but the goal was we know he's going to be at this turkey drive with all of those people right they were just wanting to do it because they wanted the money um one of the uh justin actually i'm sorry cornelius actually said in court that they weren't feeling anything they just wanted the money um now this beef stems uh years and years and years back

dolph had actually sat down with raquel shout out to rack uh from rack rant a while ago and spoke on the beef let's take a listen i just know it's a lot of hating going on a whole lot of hatred going on a whole lot of envy going on. Whole lot of jealousy going on. In Memphis, it's this thing called people tricking people out the streets. You get people unfocused on what they're doing. That's all it is. You know what I'm saying? Like, Dolph done built himself up and built himself into becoming a superstar. And I'll let us throw Dolph off right quick. He doing too much. Come on now, man. The city can't say... They mention Memphis, they say, Dolph, he can't...

You know what I'm saying He's doing too much. Don't get mad at me when I'm doing my thing and it's like straight authentic It's just great all real just great all 100 and don't knock the next man for getting his money Period any man that hate on the next man from getting his mind up being successful doing anything whatever you Now the case was only supposed to last um like this trial was only supposed to last a couple weeks it's been known for a while that uh uh cornelius and um potentially govan were going to be cooperating um in this um so i and i'm assuming that's why because literally on the stand all of the audio and all the video that you watch from it when i say they're breaking it down play by play like they even show you know the the doffs like last moments and they have cornelius um just

walking through okay that's me yeah i had on this actually when i got on a car i had i had a wave cap on i had my own gloves he talks about how they met up after and exchanged the money like he's breaking it down play by play by play by play so um they break down how they got rid of the car where the guns went and how they the rid of the car where the guns went and how they the house where the car was found they wiped down everything the music video very sad i am um i am so sorry the family of young dolph has to relive all of this trauma has to listen to these two young men speak about taking a life like they just made so endlessly like they just made a run to the store real quick like like i clicked on that link yesterday on youtube and

realized i wanted no parts of it the law and crime youtube channel that's what it's called yeah you can watch in court they had two trials going on at the same time i think it was the young thug ysl trial and then hearing all that stuff in the young dolph trial and we're not the young dolph trial what's the two guys name because young dolph is not on trial here what's the cornelia smith uh and uh justin johnson. And all I kept thinking to myself was, you know what? D1 is right. What? He's just right about all of this.

The whole state of the culture. Everything. Yeah. And I don't know what's true and what's not true, but the sad part about all of this, it doesn't matter because the internet has already took it and ran with it. And now guys like, you know,

Gotti have to deal with the ramifications of that testimony. And it's all bad. None of this is going to end well. It already hasn't ended well already has because Dolph not here joke not here but it's not a people of Austin I think it's gonna get worse I family's in the sad thing is and you don't know what's true what's not true you don't these people's testimony but now everybody got to deal with the ramifications of this test and the sad thing is is when you look into it they say that this all started because they didn't sign with each other in like the early in 2016 2015 that's where they say the beef started from because

they didn't do their deal with each other because you could you think about all the death that happened just because they didn't do a deal with each other i don't know if that's really the reason but if that is the reason i mean so we have a song really quick I know Dolph had what's the song can I say the B word I wouldn't play that song you are okay

I'm what don't play me play with you what you say women can say that word no you didn't say that you said you are no

women can say that word you are a queen thank you that's why I appreciate the light skin people in the room when they pop out of course you do of course you I appreciate the light-skinned people in the room when they pop out. Of course you do.

Of course you would appreciate the light over the dark. Of course you would. Yeah. Same way you like them white men over black men. Stop playing with me. We all know what it is. Stop playing with me. You know what I'm saying?

Also, too, man, they said they were willing to kill Young Dolph, and he was on his way to his turkey drive. Can you imagine that? That's what I'm saying. One person. All them families, all them people, so many people could have got hit. And mind you, one of the guys testified that

a big part of this was they wanted to be signed and be down with CMG allegedly. So all of this for a deal? And then they only got $800 out of it, right? $800. But just think of the fact one person waking up looking to do something for their community, the other folks waking up to take something from the community because we really be killing the same people

that God sent to help us. And that's why you have to love these nigs from afar. Okay, just a bunch of pointless nig nonsense. And with all the smoke cleared when you take a step back, ask yourself was whatever folks beefing over worth it? No! Bro, that's so disgusting, so nasty.

But you know, both of those brothers do a lot for that community and do a lot for memphis but it's just eight hundred dollars to be signed to somebody they were gonna do it for a hundred thousand dollars is what they were allegedly supposed to get to take that man's life cornelius smith said at one point in time he had to come back to get more money because they didn't give him the full 800 he had ran out so he had to come back to get more money because he couldn't live like he had to he had to get away after they did it then he had to come back to get more money it's like that all of that rest in peace stuff i um the case the case will keep going so i'm sure we'll have to talk about this again um

all right well that was just with the mess with laura rosa when we come back we got front page news and then caleb plant will be joining. He's the super middleweight champion. We'll talk to him next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. You're checking out the Breakfast Club. Hey, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha God.

We are the Breakfast Club. Lauren LaRosa filling in for Jess. And let's get back in some front page news. Real quick, sports last night. The Commanders beat the Bengals 38-33, and the Bills beat the Jaguars 47-10. Now, where are we starting with, Morgan? We're starting with former President Trump. Well, he's making his pitch to farmers.

He did that while campaigning in Smithton, Pennsylvania on Monday. Trump said the Biden-Harris administration is not enforcing a deal he previously struck with China. We have a deal in place that China is supposed to buy $50 billion worth of our product, and they are not living up to it, and they were living up to it. And every farmer I spoke to, I spoke to a lot of them recently in Iowa, and they're having the same problem. They're not doing well. They're not doing well. They were doing great during the Trump administration.

I think you would say that. Trump also raised doubts about early voting in the swing state. He plans to spend a lot of time in Pennsylvania between now and the election. I actually spoke with a Pennsylvania representative recently who said that whoever wins Pennsylvania is likely to win the election. So some speculate the entire election could come down to the pivotal swing state. Again, Trump is raising doubts about early voting. Let's hear what he had to say on that. We're going to go after anybody that gets caught cheating on the election. We're going to go after them harder than anyone's ever been sought before.

So he suggested that fraud happened, saying what happened last time was disgraceful. He said that it would not happen again and also that this election would be too big to rig. The comments come just a day after Trump said in a virtual rally that the country was in big trouble and that you could vote by mail or

early in person. Trump would be, he will be back in Butler. That's the location where um he uh the first assassination attempt took place on his life well question morgan if the election is too big to rig how come republicans are currently rigging it like they're currently setting the stage and steal the election you can look and see texas has purged about a half a million eligible voters oklahoma's purged about 192,000 eligible voters. Georgia's requiring 5 to 6 million votes be counted by hand. You got

a lot of Republican states that have closed more than 100,000 polling locations in black and Latino neighborhoods. I saw Texas had, they removed 1 million people from voter rolls. So it's like they're already setting the stage to steal the election. So how is it too big to rig if they're currently rigging it?

You're going to have to ask. That's a question for former President Trump. I cannot answer that one, but you're definitely right. It's definitely setting the stage and the so-called precedent as to what we can expect in this upcoming election. I don't think that he's going to go down without a fight. I don't think that either party will concede, you know, in the traditional sense anyways. Speaking of the other party, Vice President Kamala Harris, she's reportedly been courting corporate America, cultivating relationships with Wall Street and

Silicon Valley. The Wall Street Journal reports that Harris has hosted dinners of eight to 10 chief executives at the vice president's Naval Observatory residence to discuss a range of topics. Attendees from Visa, Motorola and CVS report that she listened to their thoughts on the Inflation Reduction Act, DEI efforts, China and the labor market. It's a different approach than the one taken by Biden, whose business leaders say didn't make an effort to engage them beyond formal meetings. Now, Harris also recently backed a less drastic increase in the top capital gains tax rate breaking with the Biden administration plans. And also switching gears to back to North Carolina, the Republican candidate for governor, North Carolina. He's threatening to take legal action. Mark Robinson, he's threatening to take legal action against CNN for the story about alleged remarks he made online. Let's hear from Mark Robinson.

We have five weeks left in this race, folks. Make no mistake about it. We are not going to let CNN throw us off of our mission. We're in talks right now, everything up to legal counsel to take CNN to task for what they have done to us. We are going after them, okay? We are going to go after them for what they've done. The stories published by CNN last week alleged that Mark Robinson allegedly made sexually

explicit and racially charged comments on a porn site. Now, Robinson told reporters at a campaign event on Monday that his campaign is in talks to take CNN to task for what they've done. He's looking at legal action in regards to that. The alleged comments were made over a decade ago and include calling himself a black Nazi, having choice words about Martin Luther King Jr. and other things. In reference to that, several aides from his campaign have since stepped down. I mean, people who are really close to him regarding those allegations, they have since stepped down. And if we got time for one more,

I know everyone uses Twitter, aka X. Well, X is set to change how its block feature works. Owner Elon Musk says users blocked by a public account will now still be able to view posts from that account. However, they will not be able to engage with any of the posts from that account that blocked them. I said it is high time this happened. So if I have you blocked, I got a public profile. You can see my post, but you can't engage. I don't like that. That's stupid.

Yeah, right? If I'm blocking you, I'm blocking you for a reason. But now you can still see where I'm at. You can still see my post. You can still halfway harass me. If I send you a message of subliminals, you know. It's certain people that I wouldn't mind being able to be like that little bit of pedicure. Well, just don't block them.

Watch this blow up. Yeah, you don't want your haters to still see you shining. And the worst part about it is they see you shining but can't comment. Oh, that'll drive them crazy. They make a fake page. Yeah. I don't go on that to no avail, so I can care less. All right.

Alright when we come back we have super middleweight champion Caleb Plant joining us we're going to talk to him when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club.

Jess is on maternity leave, so we have Lauren LaRosa. And, of course, we got our brother, Ak, with us this morning. We got a special guest in the building. We have Caleb Plant. Welcome, brother. My man, how's it going? How you feeling? Feeling good.

Feeling good. Let's talk about you a little bit, man. How'd you get your start in boxing? Well, my dad was a fighter when he was younger. And so, you know, naturally wanted to open that door for me. You know, a lot of young boys want to be like their dad when they grow up. Just took to it right away. And him and my granddaddy put a little money together to open

up like a little gym and was in there from like 245 to like 10 30 at night like six days a week yeah that's why i'm like organized competing when i was nine years old that's all i wanted to do and at first i started kickboxing i had five world titles and non-national titles in kickboxing but i was like boxing simultaneously so like one weekend my dad would drive me to Atlanta one weekend my dad would we'd drive to Chicago drive to Virginia Beach he was just driving me everywhere but then when I got to 17 I was like man I don't really want to kickbox anymore and there's no money in kickboxing I don't want to do anything else so I just want to do boxing but Tennessee I mean not known for fighters when all right, I could really be something in this sport, maybe put Tennessee on the map as far as boxing?

I mean, maybe I was delusional, but I felt like when I was nine, I was like, man, I'm going to be this. I know I'm going to be this one day. And even in middle school, I would practice my signature on a piece of paper, fill up the whole thing. Autographs. She would come around and be like, what are you doing? I'm like, I'm practicing my autographs.

She's like, for what? I'm like, I'm going to make it in boxing one day. She's like, you need to play in B. You need to play in B.

Yeah, I always felt like, man, I'm going to make it big one day. Who did you look up to boxing wise when you was growing up? Looked up to Floyd,

Andre Ward, and then like older fighters like Sugar Ray Leonard, Wilfredo Benitez, James Toney, Hector Camacho, and then like even older like Georgie Benton and people like older fighters like Sugar Ray Leonard, Wilfredo Benitez, James Toney, Hector Camacho and then like even older like Georgie Benton and people like that so there's a long list of guys that I've been you know watching over the years trying to steal moves from and take them and make them my own and just you know be a complete fighter so yeah I got a lot of long

lists of people that I respect throughout the game. Now you had to fight this weekend what did you think of the fight the last weekend I should say? Which fight? Canelo Berlanga. Uh just thought it was kind of a one-sided whooping. You know he might have won maybe a round. So uh but a lot of people expected Berlanga to probably get stopped halfway through the fight. Round six, round eight, something like that. So you know he made it through. So were you surprised about your fight? You fought McCombie. You know uh were you surprised with how he started the fight and gained momentum after he knocked you down? I mean,

no one goes into a fight like I'm going to get an eight count. But I was locked in. We were taking him serious. You know, I feel like in today's game, it's like a popularity contest.

You know, if you're not like the most, don't have the most followers or you're not the most known, people will call you a bum. But, you know, we knew he was athletic, undefeated.

This was his big moment and he was coming to put it all on the line. At the end of the second round, he caught me with a pretty good shot. In round four, I got caught on the shoulder, fell down, and they gave me an eight count. But I wasn't really tripping because I wasn't hurt or anything like that. So I'm like, man, just stay cool and just keep doing what you're doing. And just switched up that game plan, took it to the inside. He was, like, wild, erratic, you know erratic, swinging crazy, bull rushing me and stuff. Kind of hard to read things, so took it to the inside and went from there.

Every time you walk into a fight, is your goal to knock somebody out, or is it just to get through the fight? Just stick to the game plan, and if the knockout comes, it comes. In 2022, I had KO of the year against Anthony Durrell, but it's not a shot that I was looking for. It's just the best knockouts come when you're not looking for it. I was waiting for you to ask a question. I was waiting.

I'm learning his story as I'm sitting here. Let's talk Berlanga. Obviously, you guys had some drama leading up to the fight and on the press conference where, for those who don't know, Canelo kind of gave you a shot saying, I'll take care of him for you. Is he still on your radar? Like, with that performance, do you think it's a big fight, you against Berlanger? I mean, I feel like the fans would be excited to see it.

And, you know, he's one of the bigger names in the super middleweight division. And I'm always looking to, you know, get in there with people who have big names or are big challenges. He called you a hater when he was up here. He said that when you had your time to shine he never disrespected you he showed you respect but when it was his time you were a hater and pressed him for a fight i mean we were never around girls he said he's married oh that's okay that makes sense yeah i got the top one there you go there you go me too brother there you go married game now y'all twin shut up so what do you do but uh when i had my chance like we were never around each other so as far as him not hating like we never talked but really i just seen him at the jaime mcgee away in and all of a sudden i looked up and uh you know a lot of the

focus was like on canelo and them because it's their fight he's standing right next to me and i'm like hey what's up man how's it going and like, man, we need to make a big fight happen. You know, it'd be good for boxing, be good for the fans. He was like, yeah, but I got to fight already. I was like, all right, cool. Well, if it don't work out, we can fight. And if it does work out, we can fight after, you know, whether you win or lose or whatever. And he's like on his bully or something like that.

And I'm like, look, I get it. You got to fight. Either if you don't get it, we can make it happen. You know, and he starts, you know, acting tough. And so, you know, I'm not taking a step back neither. And then I'm like, well, let's get the cameras over here and get it on, you know, for the boxing interview. It's like, hey, if he fights Canelo, we're going to fight after. If you don't, then we're going to fight next.

And his daddy steps in front of him. And all my life, all my boxing career, his daddy steps in front of him and no i don't say that on camera he said it quite like that i'm like oh yeah that gave me confidence because like if his dad was so confident in his son then just let him say yeah even if he wasn't going to follow through and do it like why not at least just say yeah for the cameras even if it was just for the cameras he's like no i don't say that you fought canelo and benavidez right so so so who wins that fight in your opinion since you've been in there with both of them i think it's hard to say you know on big big fights like that you know they have different styles you know if canelo caught him with the big punch because you know david has been dropped before it was he was off balance but he he has been dropped but if canelo caught him

and stopped him you know would we all be like man i can't believe that you know i don't think anybody would say that but if david got on canelo and started flaring a lot flaring a lot and you know maybe in the later rounds was able to you know get some steam or some momentum or something I don't think we would be surprised either so it's hard to say whoever's on that night you know whoever's got the best game plan whoever had a good camp you know there's a lot of variables that go into it that lead up to you know a fighter having a successful fight it's a lot it's a lot you know speaking of those two opponents you you always been somebody that wants to get your leg back right wants to rematch guys that you lost to because you've been talking about Canelo again if you had the opportunity right because there's there was obviously bad blood with Benavidez a lot

Canelo not so much you guys seem to be cool now but that's the bigger money fight but deep down what loss would you want to avenge more i would choose canelo because he's got more hardware you know he's got three of the four belts and they get check at the end of that too i mean yeah no one ever got mad for getting paid more either you know so i think a lot of people put the emphasis on the money uh when they fight canelo and you know we we all got to get our bills paid but money's not like my number one reason why I box. You know, I'm passionate about the sport. I'm a competitor.

You know, I love boxing. It's done a lot of great things for me. So the money's obviously on the list, but it's not at the top of the list. It's the hardware, the legacy, you know, the honor, the glory. But I'd run it back with both of them. All right, we got more with super middleweight champion Kayla Plant. When we come back, don't move. It's breakfast club good morning morning everybody it's dj envy jess hilarious charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club lauren larosa filling in for jess

we're still kicking it with kayla plant super middleweight champion lauren in a rematch with um canelo how do you like what do you do different what do you improve what do you change well i didn't have the best camp that fight so would like to just be able to have a better camp you know experience isn't i've said this before but experience isn't something you can borrow it's not something you can buy you know you got to go through the fire to get it and since the canelo fight you know i feel like i've done that fighting canelo then darrell two-time former world champ david benavidez former two-time world champ now you know this guy who was ranked number nine in the WBA, I feel like I have that experience now.

Is there a particular fight in your career that you feel, like, best defines you as a fighter? Like, if you had to show somebody, this is me as a boxer, this is, which fight would that be? Um, my first world title fight against Jose Uscatigui. I was an underdog going into that fight. You know, I hadn't really, like, been able to properly introduce myself. And a lot of people were, you know, saying this, saying that.

I was going to get beat, going to get stopped, you know, doing my thing in that fight, become world champ. So, either that or, you know, this last fight, even though I got hit on the shoulder and got an eight count, you know, I got caught with a good shot in round two. Other than that, even with a couple of shots here and there, but that's boxing. You know, you're going to get hit. But just making that adjustment, you know, that'd probably be another one. Caleb, you feel like you have to fight or just be with a chip on your shoulder because, you know, guys like Bernard in the past have said, I'm never going to let a white boy beat me.

And the other black fighters have said that. So do you feel like you have to be extra to prove to yourself, like, I'm not a regular white boy? I don't feel like I have to be extra. You know yourself is you know how you get furthest in life but you get you get tested like we all saw you smack jamal the way i respond is not me trying to be extra that's just who i am you know and like someone if someone's grabbing on your face and you ask them to stop and they do it again and you know then they're saying you know things about being a white boy and you know in front of your peers in front of your wife

if you respond the way I did that's not being extra that's just that's what a lot of grown men would do because you're quiet soft spoken yeah I think so it's been like that

my whole life but as motivation and you know hopefully like by the time I'm retired fighting like a white boy might mean something different you know what I mean

how do you know to slap and not punch because the instinct would be to slap and not punch? Because the instinct would be to just throw a punch, right? In that moment, he was trying to treat me like a little boy, so I treated him like a little boy. Damn. So that was just you responding to what was happening in the moment.

That don't mean it's going to officially be like an actual fight with y'all? It can be. He fights at 160. I fight at 168. His last fight, he fought at a catchweight of 163 against a guy who fights at 147 and he came in at this is a lot of numbers but he came in at like 166 so he even came in overweight on the catchweight so he's a super middleweight at this point so we could definitely make a fight happen he's going through things in his personal life and you know i made a statement saying like whatever happened between us could be set on the back burner for now you know he's got things he's going through go handle that and we

can make a big fight happen until then you know i don't think it'd be right for me to like continuously like have my foot on his neck or be pressing him about certain things like he's got you know enough on his plate and you know he's got kids and i'm sure we'd all like to see him get himself together and you know go out and make a decent living for his family so is that you because i know you went through stuff in your personal life like in 2014 with your daughter and then losing your mom as well too are you able to like be empathetic like that and remove the boxer or the fighter because you've been through your own things or uh i mean i could honestly like care less what somebody's been through that's not an excuse to not know how to act you know boxing's a grown man sport so if

you're gonna be in here you're gonna have to act like a grown man because there's grown men in here and if you act like a little boy then one of us might treat you like a little boy if you need help i'll be the help you need you know as far as whatever you're going through it if you can't hold it uh hold it together well enough to just be out and about then you should be inside you know regardless of what you've been through because we've all been through things but we're not walking around grabbing people by the face or not even that situation how do you grab you by your face for you to slap him because i was like he did like that and pulled on my beard and i pushed him back i'm like yo what are you doing like don't i was mad you know don't ever grab me by my face again and he reached up and

did it right again and you only grab someone by their't. I was mad, you know, don't ever grab me by my face again. And he reached up and did it right again. And you only grab someone by their face for two reasons. Either one, you want to fight them, or two, you don't think they're going to do anything. Or they want to kiss you. That's the right thing. Yeah, or three. Hopefully, I'd rather be one of the first two.

God damn, bro. Why? Why? Why did you take it there? Like, that was not even an option. Like, damn. You was taking it. Oh, well, not.

That's you, bro. Oh, God. Now, how did you mentally stay focused after those terrible obstacles happened in your life like how do you even just stay focused and forget fighting just to show up in the world yeah at the end of the day you got two choices you know if something's going on you can either keep going or you can quit if you quit you know whatever situation you're in it's probably going to be like that forever. It's always going to be messed up. You're always going to wonder what if. But if you keep going, who knows what will happen?

I guess I just always had like this voice in my head that was like, if you keep going, it's going to work out. If you keep going, you're going to make it. If you keep going, things are going to come together. And so, like, I just kept listening to that, kept going. And there was no way that I could, like, allow myself to live forever in the situation, you know, that I was in. You know, I needed more than that. And just kept putting one foot in front of the other I guess just don't quit you either quit or you keep going so absolutely now you and Fat Joe had some words at one time too right we had uh how'd you know that I know everything yeah I thought you always get into

little boxes man like wow that's where he lasts on his list yeah but that was based on Berlanger because you know he's siding with Berlanger. Him and Berlanger have some drama. So what happened to Joe? I seen him at the fight. I was like headed to the back, to the back of the T-Mobile and he was walking this way

when we were walking past each other. I'm not sure if he says something first or if I said something and he says something right back or if like we kind of caught each other out of the corner of our eye and we both just turned around and started like yapping at each other.

He must have been pretty bothered because you know about it he didn't tell me i heard it i heard what did he say he's telling other people then and i was at secret con and somebody came up to me and told me like uh mayor that's his manager the mayor yeah that's a business partner okay okay it was like yeah uh this that and the third fadjo is mad so i guess he must have been pretty pretty bothered what you say for uh everybody to find out i don't know we were just walking by each other and um he said uh how does it feel having to get up off the ground three times because uh i from the shoulder and the other two times i just fell he just said so joe just randomly said that to you yeah but yeah that's which is weird because i won and one he caught me with the decent shot the other two like just fell

you know so like that's not really a flex to say how to feel good. I'm off the ground three times. If I won, become an interim champ, stop the guy. Your guy lost every round. What do you mean, how did it feel? It felt better than not getting my hand raised. I don't know. I don't know how little old me could have all them that bothered.

Who's next for you, Munguia or Berlanga? I think the Berlanga or uh the charlo fight makes more sense i think it's more exciting for boxing more exciting for the fans and uh yeah i think one of those one of those two what do you think charlotte man i think berlanga would be hot right now i think you and berlanga would make a great card right now yeah yeah i mean i like the charlo brother too but berlanga's like hot right right now both of y'all are hot right now yeah it just makes sense from a boxing fan perspective. That's what I would want to see.

I think so too. Yeah. Malanga. I saw that you had posted the Girl Dad sneakers. Oh yeah. The Kobe's. The Kobe's. Talk about Kobe as a motivation because you talked about a lot of boxers, but you specifically

said he gave you motivation for years. Oh yeah. Since I was a kid, feeling like studying the greats. You know, great. To be great, to be successful, you know, you got to be intentional. And so just taking time to watch like every YouTube video I could on certain, certain athletes, certain coaches, certain artists, you know, Kobe's dedication and sacrifice that he made to get to where he got, you know, that's something you got to tip your hat to and respect. And so just watching a lot of

his motivational videos over the years and studying things that he implemented into whether it be physical recovery his nutrition numerous different things like that uh and wanting to put that in my arsenal and you know so that i can try and be the best athlete i can uh yeah he's given me a lot of motivation and then obviously with charlie and alia and then the girl that's you coming out you know i felt like it'd be perfect timing to you know put all that together.

We do. T.I. and Tiny won a lot of money yesterday. $71 million. Big win. Woo! Let's talk about it. Yeah, $71 million. Insane.

We'll get to that next. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to Jess with the Mess with Lauren LaRosa.

News is real, brother. Jess Hilarious, Jessicalamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to Jess with the mess with Lauren LaRosa. News is real. We're in the news. Jess Hilarious. Jessica Robin Moore. Jess don't do no lying. Jess don't do no lying. She don't spell nobody. Worldwide Jess.

Worldwide mess. On The Breakfast Club. She's a culture show. With Lauren. Lauren LaRosa. I'm back. And I got the mess. Talk to me.

T.I. and Tiny in the OMG Girls won $71 million. Look at God. Drop on a cool bomb for T.I. and Tiny. Drop another one. $71 million is insane. Yes. So this was awarded to them by a jury. So if you remember, T.I.ia and tiny they had the omg girls

which was the uh group that their daughter zanique was a part of performance group now for years tiny has been calling out a company called mga entertainment um and she was calling them out because they created these dolls like these lol surprise dolls that were literally like a direct ripoff of the OMG girls. Um, so she's been calling them out for some time and I printed some pictures for you guys. So you could see just how blatant it was. Not only did they rip off the way that they looked, they would take certain outfits that the girls wore on stage, hair colors, uh, names, everything. So in court, a jury decided unanimously that, uh, they were the the winners they were awarding of this now to break

down that money um uh a part of it is in real damages and another part of it is in punitive damages so you have 17 million 872 359 dollars in real damages 53 million 616 759 dollars in punitive damages so the real the uh real damages what is that, like direct? So that's direct money that they lost? Real damages? Which one? Real damages. I'll Google it. I don't know why I asked you.

The $17 million? Yes. Oh, I thought that was in regards to the profits that the company made. I could be wrong, though. I thought I read that last night. I'm looking it up in the meantime. So actual damages, also known as compensatory damages, are a type of monetary compensation awarded to a person who has suffered loss or injury

due to another party's actions. Some examples are medical bills, loss wages, emotional distress, property damage, and other type of expenses. Oh, so that's punitive. That's what real damage is. Oh, that's real damage.

Real damage is. So then the punitive damage, I love when we Google things together. I love knowing. So the punitive damages are known as legal punishment. So this is something that a person would pay in addition to whatever another person is being compensated in civil court. Either way, T.I. and Tiny getting paid. And that company got it.

Look at me trying to figure out what the breakdown of the sauce is. Because, Lord, if I could ever get word of this i would never work again probably you know i love this because you know this happens to create us so much and you know these corporations can usually get away with this because it's big bank take little bank yeah but not in this situation not in this case it wasn't the first time a mistrial the first time i think was a mistrial time was a mistrial and i forgot what happened the second time this is the third time and the jury finally got it right. Yeah, but so since that, can they appeal or no?

It's done. They got that with Mike. I have no idea. Well, congratulations to T.I. Man, dropping a clue by the time. I'm telling you right now. OMG, girls and all that. There is no doubt in my mind that T.I.'s story is going to be in the next generation's Bible.

I'm setting this up here. The LeBron James version of the Bible that we will one day get,'s gonna be a chapter full of the things ti has overcome god got a different type of covering over uh clifford harris's life you hear me and i'm not debating with anybody who doesn't know what goody mob track ti was bumping with his partner young dro on top back okay if you ain't if you don't know that then don't debate me about uh the covering over ti's life okay 71 million dollars it's a lot of money a lot of money yeah now in other news uh meek mills so meek decided yesterday that he wanted to get online and ask a few questions you know meek uses his ex account very sparingly to get information to have conversation

for some reason yesterday because all the diddy stuff that was going viral you know he was earlier on like his name was brought up in the case and all of that. He decided to tweet, I want to hire an investigative team, 100k cash, to find out every specific detail involving Meek Mill name to Diddy case. I also want them to look at who

is powering the media involving Meek. Anything to do with Buddy. Something not right. I would have left that in the drafts. He wants his name is connected to did he that's what I think is because people are still continuing to make jokes about like did he meet all that stuff why why is Meek Mill trying to spark the Meek to movement why nobody has your name in this week stop listening to these digital D heads on social media.

Your name ain't in those indictments. That's all that matters. Forget what these people on social media are saying. Not the indictment. That was the civil case from Lil Rod. Remember Rod said, a rapper from Philly. Even with that. That's just nonsense.

That's just noise, man. Stop letting these digital D heads cause you to react. Because that's all that was yesterday was a reaction. Yeah. Yeah. I would have left that in the draft. head cause you to react because that's all that was yesterday was a reaction yeah yeah i would have left that in the dress i don't even want no parts of everything that's happening with diddy right now whatsoever now moving on to some social media conversations so eve you know we had eve up here she was talking about her book who's that girl story of her life and her career um and in the book uh there was a part that you know a lot of people have been discussing and she's been

talking about it a lot too where she talks about feeling very like intimidated and just different feelings she had when nikki minaj came on the scene because eve was that that girl the only girl for so long let's take a listen no matter what industry you are in if you have been at a place in your life or your career where you may have been that one that person that thing and someone comes in and of course you feel insecure of course you in and of course you feel insecure. Of course you feel protective. Of course you feel, do I still belong here? I felt like it was important for me to write because it also talks about a time in my life where I wasn't going to those tools of drinking and doing other things to help me cope with my anxieties. I had to go to other modalities like therapy.

As people will read, it all was my stuff. It has nothing to do with her. It was all these things coming from the industry, I think also had a lot to do with it of being the one female, you know, thinking like, well, how can she be here and how can I be here? Which is stupid. The part where she said it was all my stuff and it had nothing to do with her i was like man that is such a that's a word right there but nikki minaj responded um it she it was a lengthy tweet so i'll just read some of it she said dear eve the various things that you've shared recently are groundbreaking in my opinion for so many reasons first thank you the level of grace um the level of emotion and spirituality maturity it takes to be this vulnerable and transparent is a sign of true peace happiness fulfillment, fulfillment, and a mastery of self.

Self-reflection at its height. I always say that I think accountability is the sexiest trait a person can have. I was one of the kids in New York watching Rough Riders on TV. I definitely remember how when you took the game by storm, that there were some people who couldn't hide their insecurities, even though it's swept under the rug now. I remember that you handled it with grace, but also a big sprinkle of unapologetic talent and charisma. You soared and soared. Classic music with the illest team into the biggest screen. I remember that you handled it with grace, but also a big sprinkle of unapologetic talent and charisma you sword and sword Classic music music with the illest team into the biggest screen and made it look too easy Transetter the Eve blonde short cut the Eve paw print tats on the chest I was certain or if it's coming on to the movie set every single day You look like a pro and I admire that so much

Thank you for trying to not do to me what was done to you women feel so much pressure to compete and it's a shame because we usually have so much in common and could really benefit from one another just as human beings we all share so many of the same experiences as artists wives moms ups and downs anxiety etc there's more but i think that was the gist of it and i thought that that was great to see nikki minaj respond with because you know nikki gets a lot from the younger girls from her issues with a lot of just different people people feel like she's doing what eve is saying that she was trying to be conscious i'm probably gonna get flack for this but i want to say that a lot of people give nikki minaj so much but when i read this i'm like dang i wonder how much she went through herself that she may be

sometimes according to other people repeating to other people because it was just what she had to go through to break through the industry because eve was very aware of it but how many women weren't as aware of eve i mean that was honest but i don't like i don't recall eve ever being the only one like when eve came along there was quite a few you know rap chicks still going kim foxy trina the brat nikki was was the only one when she came along. And that's why the gap between Nicki and Eve is so wide. I think she was talking on the set of Barbershop

when she walked on the set of Barbershop. That's what she was talking about. Go ahead. But Eve was talking from a music perspective. No, I think she was talking about from the movie. I think. She was talking about when she came on the set. I thought Eve was talking about when she came on set.

That was the question. I thought she was talking about the music. No, I thought she was talking about the music not that she's talking about barbershop when she was doing barbershop and Nikki came on as she said that she didn't even think that Eve liked her after the first day but I think that it goes and it transcends it's into music and you know I mean all of that cuz not that even if he wasn't the only one when you the hot girl you the hot girl like whether it's two of y'all three of y'all you feel like it's just you so you can inflict you know insecurities on other people and I think people do it unconsciously sometimes it just feel like by the time Nikki came along that was a whole different generation like even Nikki was not even in the same class competing like I wouldn't even look

at them as competing with each other I wouldn't either but see even that you wouldn't look at them as competing but in some instances Eve did't either. But see, even that you wouldn't look at them as competing. But in some instances, Eve did, you know. So, yeah, I thought that that was a great public moment to have. And I'm not always down for public conversations about private things. So. All right. Well, thank you.

That's just with the mess with Lauren LaRosa. Charlamagne, who are you giving that donkey to? Man, for after the hour, let's talk about why women are just crazy. There's just no other way to put this. This is insane. OK. And I think that most women will agree once they hear me tell this story. There's a young lady named Melody Sasser.

She needs to come to the front of the congregation. We'd like to have a word with her. All right, we'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Wake up. Wake up. You're locked into The Breakfast Club.

Some donkey today just saw themselves. I've been watching, Charla, man. I was ready for you. I never heard of donkey the other day. What is it? Say it again, Charlamagne. Yes, you are a donkey. I'll show you how to act a donkey. Everything that Charlamagne is saying is true.

Yes, donkey of the day for Tuesday, September 24th goes to a Tennessee woman named Melody Sasser. Melody is 48 years old and she attempted to hire a hitman to kill the wife of a man she met on a dating website. I can't make this kind of stuff up. Let's go to WBIR Channel 10 for the report, please.

The woman who hired a hitman to kill another woman will spend more than eight years in prison. Melody Sasser was arrested last year after authorities say she hired the hitman on a website called Online Killers Market. She paid the hitman $10,000 in Bitcoin to kill the wife of a man she met on an online dating site. The 48-year-old provided pictures of the woman and location information. sasser must also pay more than five thousand dollars to the victim i really feel sorry for single people in

2024 i don't knock anyone who is on these dating websites you know i just felt if you felt something in here could you stop being so sensitive i don't even know what you're talking about uh if you if you want to go on e-harmony bumble ok cupid match.com lauren what's your favorite christian none of them i don't do none of them christian mingle try christian mingle all i'm saying is my reposado intake will allow me on christian mingle oh pray over the pray over the tequila before you get on there that's all all i'm simply saying is i don't knock anyone for being on these websites but it truly can't do anything but complicate the dating process now this is what i don't understand

about melody's request the news report says the man met sasser met her prior to his marriage melody listen to what i just said he met you prior to his marriage meaning Melody, listen to what I just said. He met you prior to his marriage, meaning that if you were a match for him, if he really wanted to be with you, then you both probably would have been together. Clearly, this man was looking for what he currently has, a wife. Clearly, he wanted to be in a long-term committed relationship. It just wasn't with you, Melody. So what would be the reason to get this man's wife killed? Do you believe that if you get her out of the way, then it will make room for you? That's not how any of this works.

And furthermore, why are people having customer service conversations with online killers market? I'm telling you right now, OK, your uncle Charlotte gets on this radio and I tell you all the time. Every day of our lives, we are simply trying to avoid crazy nothing more nothing less we trying to avoid being crazy ourselves but more importantly we are trying to avoid the crazy and others this man is out living his best life with his new wife just think about that just he just living you know they just going about their daily routines minding their business and it's somebody out there with ten thousand dollars on her head for no reason other than she met you on match.com before you met your wife and she has an obsession with you

paid nine thousand seven hundred and fifty dollars in bitcoin to have your wife killed and she customized her order it needed to appear like an accident she said to avoid suspicion of criminal activity and then she complained for two months and 11 days to the online killer's market that the job is not completed. She literally said to them, two weeks ago, you said it was being worked on and it would be done in a week. The job is still not done. Does it need to be assigned to someone else? Can I choose another killer? I don't want to use Michael Myers no more. Is Jason Voorhees available? I know that kruger guy only works nice but is he potentially available law enforcement searched her home they found a journal listing several other hitman

websites now i'm not the highest grade of weed in the dispensary but i guarantee all these hitman websites are operated by law enforcement and please law enforcement whether it's the fbi dea someone please let me sit in one day i just want to sit in and watch y'all react to the foolishness that is on the internet i really do because you got to be a different level of stupid to go on a website to order a hit on somebody can you imagine going to an app to order a hit on somebody. Murder eats is crazy. Imagine Def Dash delivering to the wrong address. Listen, one of the hardest things in life is letting go, Melody. Whether it's guilt, anger, love, loss, or betrayal, change is never easy.

I understand. We fight to hold on and we fight to let go. Melody, you should have let go. But now you got the next hundred months in prison to think about it. And she got to pay more than $5,300 in restitution to the victim. And nobody can say she didn't earn it. Please give Melody Sassa the sweet sounds of the Hamilton's. Oh, now you are the donkey of the day. You are the donkey of the day. You are the doggy.

Of the day. Yee-haw. Yee-haw. I have a question. Mm-hmm. I have a question. Mm-hmm. So she met him before his marriage.

Yes. Oh, boy. What was the time frame in between they met and then he went and got married doesn't matter she wasn't the one it doesn't matter she wasn't the one and all she got

was a hundred months that'd be the problem that's over eight years what you mean all she got I think she should get more than that trying to kill somebody I do too not really single

Project Liberty And he wants to save social media. And he wants to buy TikTok. That's right. Jinx. Double jinx. Triple jinx. I'm just kidding. We'll talk about it when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club.

Morning everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Lawn LaRosa is filling in for Jess who's on materagne Tha God we are the breakfast club along the roses filling in for Jess's on maternity leave and we got a special guest in the building we have Frank McCord welcome thanks for having me how you feeling this morning I'm good and you pretty good pretty less black and highly favored man but for those who don't know Frank tell just tell them who you are yeah let's start with the fact that I'm a father of seven kids oh okay fifth generation builder born and raised in a little place called Watertown, Massachusetts,

right outside of Boston. My great-grandfather came here a long time ago as an immigrant and started building roads when Henry Ford started building cars. And so we've been building stuff ever since. My work kind of identifies me in many ways because I've worked hard for a long time. I've had the privilege of owning some sports teams, which is fun. Hard work, but fun. And yeah, that's a little

bit about me you know the dodgers who else i own a football team called uh olympique de marseille french football club we just had a massive win against lyon congrats one man down after the four and a half minute mark so we had to play the entire match with 10 guys and uh beat them in their house three to two so that was massive for our club now you want to buy tic tac yeah that's right yeah tell us about that why would you love to jump into the social media world oh it's interesting so when i was in la through that tough period i got a little taste of what social media was like even that side yeah and that was think about this for a second now that was um i got separated in july of 09 my divorce was a matter of, you know, a public thing for three years.

With seven kids, that was tough. Yeah, I had four at the time. But for those four, it was very tough. And it was tough all around for everyone and not just me. And I watched what was happening here. And first of all, let me say, don't feel bad for me. Okay, I'm doing great. So that's not the point of what I'm about to say here. But I saw this complete change in how we were communicating or sharing information. I'm not sure we were communicating. And Facebook had introduced the like button, smartphones were in everybody's hands. So all this wild, wild west was appearing right before our eyes. And so, as I said, I felt the sting of all that because and you know what i felt like a guy with uh um watching my house burn down with a little

garden hose with low water pressure like i'm supposed to put that fire out somehow it's impossible so and i said you know to myself at the time while this is in the direction it's going this is going to take us all down this is going to just destroy everything we love this is an oh nine when you felt like that yeah oh, 09, 10, 11, 12. So it was a three-year period where I got a glimpse at something. And little did I know that I'd be here 10 plus years later talking to you about this. But I saw that. My first move after selling the Dodgers was to help start a public policy school in Washington,

D.C., our nation's capital, with Georgetown, my alma mater. We started that school and I'd hoped that maybe we could get the policymaking apparatus up to speed here and out in front of the problems so that this runaway machine wasn't going to, like I said, destroy everything we love. So I started that public policy school in D.C. in 2013. And it's a great place. It will be the best public policy school in this country. I'm certain of that. However, I learned after two, three years that policymaking and the whole policymaking apparatus is no match for big tech. So I launched something called Project Liberty. I was going to ask, are they selling TikTok? Because I thought at one time the government was trying to force the guy to sell it, but he didn't want to sell it. So are they actively selling TikTok for you to purchase? Yeah, great question. The government

has passed a law that the president signed that TikTok must either sell the US piece of TikTok and ByteDance is the company or shut it down. And ByteDance is resisting that. And so there's litigation right now. There was just a hearing last week. I think the government's case is very, very strong. I think they'll prevail. And ByteDance will have to either shut down US TikTok or sell it. And our bet is they're going to sell it, not shut it down. And we don't want to see it shut down. There's 170 million people using it that enjoy it. It just shouldn't be wreaking havoc on the world, you know, and creating the harms it creates.

And it doesn't have to. So I don't want to be the CEO of a social media platform. Don't misunderstand me. What I'd like to do is see the 170 million TikTok users come over to a new protocol where each of us own and control our identity. We own and control our data. We permission its use. It's not just scraped up by these platforms,

aggregated algorithms applied to it, and then we have a lot of crazy stuff going on. We need people, and this is my strong opinion, we need technology where we own us again and we're in control of us again because right now we are not in control of us. These platforms are in control. What's a comparable time of when you said well we own us again on on the internet when did we own our own info on the internet because before the what i'll call

the app age so when the internet started 41 years ago it was decentralized and nobody was scraping our data surveilling us 24-7 and taking advantage of us and in 89 there the world wide web started and that's when our data was up for grabs that's when it all started right suddenly the data was out in the in the ether so to speak right and a few companies you know they understood that if you if you own everybody's data, you own them. And whoever was going to own the most data would be the winner, quote unquote, right? And so you had a winner in social. That was Facebook, now Meta. You had a winner in search. That was Google.

You had a winner in shopping. That was Amazon and so on and so forth. And what happened was this data is – don't think of it as like amorphous thing that doesn't mean anything. Your data is you. These platforms know everything about you more than you know about yourself because they have hundreds of thousands of data points about you. And that's not a good thing. So who do these companies sell it to? And like, how did they know that they should be farming people's data?

Well, I think what they realized, Char, isara, is that the data was going to be very valuable. And so let's collect the data and figure out how to make money now. They built machinery to basically extract and collect that. And then they needed a business model to keep the company going, right? And that was the so-called ad tech model or the attention economy, right? If we know a lot about you, we can sell you stuff. We can go ahead and push ads on you to get you to buy things. In retrospect, that's like the benign aspect of this. And what I mean by that is what they realized is that it's not just what you want to buy or where you eat or what you like to, you know, this or that. It's like I said earlier, how you think and how you

feel. So you're profiled. We'd call that micro profiling, right? You're targeted. So if I can, if I know everything about you, then I can feed you news content that is going to reinforce how you're already thinking, right? If I can, if I know everything about you, I can get you to do things. I can manipulate you. You know, Jack Dorsey was the guy who started twitter he earlier this summer he was at a conference in oslo he said we are talking way too much about free speech and way too little about the loss of free will we're losing what makes us human you know i i don't know about you guys but when i was in school what i was taught was that you know what separates us from all the other species, animal species, is free will. That's right.

It's our ability to make judgments, to make choices, to live our lives, to have freedom, to have liberty, et cetera. That's what makes us human. You take our free will away from us, what's it all going to look like then? And so that's why I started Project Liberty. That's why I've launched the People's Bid to go ahead and move, not to shut down TikTok. We don't want to see it shut down. Move the user base to this new protocol where we each essentially own ourselves again, own our personhood, and we get to decide how to share information about us to trusted counterparties. All right, we got more with Frank McCourt when we come back. Billionaire, ex-owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers.

When we come back, so don't move, it's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Lola Rosa filling in for Jess. We're still kicking it with Frank McCourt. Billionaire, ex-owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Charlamagne. What is Project Liberty? You put up $500 million, right? Yeah, that's the seed capital. Get this show on the road. And to let people know that it does not have to be this way, the Internet could operate differently, and we could each own ourselves, our identity, our data,

control who gets to see what, just like we used to do in the world pre-Internet, right? There was a world before the Internet where people got to decide what information they shared about themselves with other human beings. You know, you didn't share a lot with a stranger. You shared a whole lot with your most intimate relationships, right? So we have an internet that doesn't operate like that at all. As a matter of fact, you don't even know if it's another person on the internet because it could be a machine,

a fake person, you know, this and that. need to get it get the internet to operate like the world operates when it's coherent which is you know restore truth it let people let people be in control of their lives have real people using the internet not a bunch of fake and phoniness and then we by the way there'll still be bad behavior there'll still be bad actors with tech better tech is not going to take care of all the problems in the world. But better tech that puts us in charge of all of our own data and our being and our personhood then puts us in charge of us again. And we're accountable for our own bad behavior. Realistically, is that real though? You know, cause let's say, you know, let's say you purchase TikTok and you do that with TikTok, with all these other platforms, whether it's Facebook, whether it's Instagram, whether it's Elon Musk's ex, is it realistically can get back

to a place where we have our privacy back? I mean, it's to the point now where everything is open. I mean, you can pull up court cases, you can pull up somebody's house address, you can pull up so many different things where before you absolutely positively couldn't, but is that real? Yeah, totally real. I'll tell you why. Five years ago, when we started this project, if I was having this conversation with you, I guarantee you when I left this room, you'd say out of his mind, not going to happen, right? Impossible. And by the way, you'd say it was impossible because it's too complicated, the tech, and nobody's ever going to change. And who gives a shit, right? Because five years ago, people weren't focused the way they are now. Two and a half years ago, we were able to actually push the tech out and say, see, it works. So we have over a million, almost moving towards a

million and a half people on this new internet I'm talking about, this upgraded internet using it. So what does that say to me? The tech works. So what we're left with is this issue of how do you get people to migrate? Okay. And I think people don't migrate until they realize there's a problem. So all that is great. And in a perfect world, it would be amazing. But, you know, the data is being moved around the way it is because they make money, right? So as a business person, how do you speak to the money that isn't going to be made?

Or is there a way to still make money even though we would own our own data and i get to pick and choose when you can put it where like how does the how's money made oh i i'm i'm going to tell you that more money will be made because more people will be making money and so it's not like the data isn't valuable and it's not like we're not going to use data to solve big problems and They'll still be shopping and searching and social on this internet. The difference will be you'll decide who to share your information with and on what terms. So imagine an internet where rather than clicking stupidly on the terms and conditions of use of these big platforms, you know, the cookies that we all just click on because they're annoying. Yeah.

Okay. Imagine an internet where the new apps, and there'll be millions of them, click on your terms and conditions of use. You say, sure, you can use my data, but pay me. Right? So what we're saying is that there will be advertising, there will be commerce, there will be business. There has to be for this to be realistic.

Otherwise, it's just like, sounds good, but will never happen type of project, right? But wouldn't you prefer an internet where rather than being targeted all day long and have stuff pushed on you, have an internet where you signal that you want to buy something. You say, I'm this person. I'm a real person. You could be anonymous until you contract, right? And I want to buy something. That's more valuable to advertisers. That's more valuable to companies selling things than just surveilling all of us and guessing that you want something and hoping that you want something. Do you know a third of all the money that's spent on the internet and the advertising economy is complete? It's wasted.

It's either scam artists or just misdirected or not. Why are we doing this? In what world do we think that being surveilled 24 hours a day is a reasonable thing? It's not. So there's going to be business. What's the first thing you would do if you acquire TikTok to make it safe for people? Move the users to a new protocol, which is is simple protocol where you own and control your identity and your and your death so it's a permission-based internet now all of the good stuff of tiktok still happens the user experience is very similar so you won't take away the dance

and you won't take away the thing okay people can dance all day long it's it's all good it's just i don't want people think they're just dancing and having fun. But at the same time, somebody's scraping all that information about them and using it in harmful ways. Right. So that's the thing here that we want to eliminate. So that's the first thing. And what can everyday people do right now to support or help make the change you're trying to make? Go to thepeoplesbid.com. Thepeoplesbid.com.

And join the fight. Get involved. And that involvement may be that you want to invest. That involvement may be you can socialize it at your church. It may be socialize it at your kid's school on the sideline of the football field. It may be that you want to volunteer and get involved. Because eventually, we're going to have a million people show up in Washington, right? And say, you got to stop this nonsense. And because the CEOs of these tech companies, we now know, and they know, that there's a problem here, right? How

many more conversations are we going to have where they go in front of Congress and they testify and lie about this? So if they were going to fix it, they would have fixed it, right? So that's, we can't rely on them at the moment. The next place you go is to your elected officials and say, hey, please fix this. It's hurting my kid. It's hurting my business. It's hurting whatever.

It's hurting my life. Sadly, these companies are all over our elected officials. They're giving them donations. They have lobbyists and all that stuff. And so nothing's getting done. And our elected officials are using the same social media platforms that are killing us, right? They're using them to get elected and all that. So what are we left with? We're left with us. We're left with people. And that's why we call it the people's bid. If we want freedom

and liberty and individual rights, we need to start looking at our data as a human right. This is who you are and we should own us, right? Even our DNA, by the way, our biological DNA is now digitized. So what could get more you than your DNA, right? So this is really, really, I think, a key issue. And so let's fix it. It doesn't have to be this way.

Absolutely. Thank you for joining us this morning. Ladies and gentlemen, Frank McCourt. Check out his book, To Our Biggest Fight, Reclaiming Liberty, Humanity, and Dignity in the Internet Age.

They'll be in Atlanta, Boston, Buffalo, Chicago, Denver, Detroit, Los Angeles, New York, D.C., and a bunch of other places. Now, to mention, dang, maybe I don't want to mention this now. Never mind. It's okay. We're not going to mention that. I don't want to mention this now never mind it's okay we're not gonna mention that i don't want to share what i don't want to put that with mary's moment we're

gonna move on so jay-z jay-z you guys know that there's been a conversation about him um doing the casino here in new york time square yes so a story came out yesterday uh with page six jay-z is now promising jay-z and rock nation is now promising more than $250 million in grant money to the Hell's Kitchen community if the bid is won for the New York City gaming license

to create that Caesar Palace Times Square Casino. So this grant will help to improve Times Square, Hell's Kitchen, and different surrounding areas. Roc Nation is getting support from 150 different organizations

and businesses, including different restaurants, hotels, residents, unions, and Broadway stakeholders. Now Rock Nation is going to give an initial $15 million to the local community and then there are going to be regular grants that they issue and this will be based

on 5% of the casino's performance. Now to note, casinos make a ton of money. Casinos make anywhere from 1 million this is on average 1 million to 10 million dollars per day uh the caesar palace times square team has already met with the manhattan plaza residents this is a well-known affordable housing development um area for artists per reports um who will also benefit from this so what are they gonna make that decision i feel i feel like we've been talking about it for a while now it's supposed to be

coming up i don't know but i would like to know how many of these other entities who are trying to get a license to open a casino are pledging those kind of grants to the communities they plan to build these casinos by. The answer is probably none because none of those corporate entities, they don't think of the communities because they're not from these communities. Right. You know, Roc Nation is from the community. And I think it's lit because, you know, i had saw people complaining about oh it's gonna bring traffic and tourism and blah blah blah but bring money exactly so many money so much money so many jobs a lot of these uh like the neighborhoods and different things that they are focusing on to help put money back into needed their overlooked resources are not as abundant but to answer your

question envy according to the Manhattan Community Board, a decision is expected by December 1st, 2025. December 2025, next year? Yeah, it says... They still got a long way to go. Yep, ultimately, the Gaming Facility Location Board will need to consider the license

and a decision on licenses is expected by December 1st, 2025. The Gaming Commission is supposed to happen, or licensure is supposed to happen to happen by December 31st, 2025. Well, good luck to Jay-Z and him now. Absolutely. New York City needs that casino. Right there, 1515?

Like, New York City needs that energy. I'm a person who enjoys Broadway, so I still go to Broadway. But to have a casino there where you can have, like, date nights and events, that'd be fly. Yeah, I'd be fire. Well, you don't got to worry about the date nights, but everything else, Lauren. When that casino gets here, me and my fiance will be there. Are you putting it in the air? Oh, it's happening.

I like that. I've been telling y'all. I like that. My me time is I'm having a good time right now. I'm in a good place. Tell the universe what you said earlier because you said it off the air. I'm a happy. What's that?

Somebody said to Charlamagne, I'm a very single person. I said, I am because people don't really be single and I'm happy and I'm taking some time for me but I'm gonna be single forever I don't want to be nobody said that either I just wanted to say that I didn't want it to come from me so but put it You said next year. She said she wanted to be done for her birthday this year. So, no. Did she have a birthday? No, no, no. That ain't going to happen.

No, that's the way. First, I said, hold on. Let me speak. Okay. I said maybe after my birthday, like around New Year's. But then I said, I don't know because I wanted to go to Ghana. But then I said, what if New Bay takes me to Ghana? And that's where he's like, you know, this is where I need to go.

What if New Bay is in Ghana? You're right. You know what I'm saying? like, you know, this is where I need to go. What if New Bay is in Ghana? You're right. You know what I'm saying? So you're going to be single for your birthday? She's used to it. She's going to be single for New Year's and Christmas? I don't know. We'll see what God has planned for me.

So what do you do for Christmas and New Year's? I be with my family. You know what I really need? No matching pajamas. I'm not wishing this on you. Maybe me and my mom can match pajamas. And my brother and my grandmother. I am a witch. So when I say this, it's probably going to come true.
