Yeah, that's the one that's bubbling right now.
Let's start off with Hold On.
Since you just started all the prayer, you don't want to start the one with Kirk Franklin?
Damn, no. Today is Friday, though. We should start off with T On. Since you just started all the prayer, you don't want to start the one with Kirk Franklin? Damn, no.

Let's do that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You got that one up?
I'm so excited.
I love her.
All right, well, let's get to it.
She's making me feel good.
I hear the ancestors when she raps.
Take me back to homecoming.
Nick said that's his favorite rap.
You don't need to go back to homecoming.
You don't need to go back to homecoming.
All right, let's get into it.
It's the Breakfast Club Front Page News.
It's next with Morgan Wood.
Let's go.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are the Breakfast Club.
Lauren LaRosa filling in for Jess.
And Nick Cannon is co-hosting this morning.
Yes, sir.
And let's get in some Front Page News.
Started off with some quick sports last night.
WNBA, the Minnesota Lynx came back to beat the Liberty 95-93.
Phenomenal game.
Yep.
And Thursday night, football.
The 49ers beat the Seahawks 36-24.
And last night in Major League Baseball, the Yankees move on.
They beat the Royals 3-1.
And the Guardians beat the Tigers.
They tie the series 5-4.
Did you know the Tigers' salary cap is $18 million?
What the heck?
That's not a lot of money.
I'm going to tell you why.
Yeah, $18 million is what they pay the whole team.
The whole team?
Oh, like as a unit.
Oh, y'all got to start doing steroids.
That's crazy.
Y'all got to start doing steroids.
They was making so much money when they was doing steroids.
No, but the fact that they went this far and only pay $18 million, just to put it in perspective,
judge on the Yankees makes $40 million a year.
Wow.
And that whole team, the salary is $18 million.
Who decides that, though?
Like, how does that become a thing?
The owner.
The owner decides.
There's no salary cap in baseball,
so they can pay whatever they want.
But they only pay out $18 million.
How crazy is that?
You got to bang for his buck.
Yeah, they need a union.
Something ain't right.
That's crazy.
But the fact that they went this far
and, you know, they paid $18 million.
Like I said, the Yankees pay a judge $40 million a year. That's crazy but the fact that they went this far and you know they paid 18 million like i said the yankees paid judge 40 million a year that's crazy morning boy again good morning
dang i was thinking y'all ain't gonna care about the news this morning okay so let's get into it
uh president joe biden he's calling out former president donald trump after spreading misinformation
about federal government the federal government's response to hurricane helene and milton trump said
last weekend that people who lost their homes and hurricanes would only receive $750 in federal aid while speaking at the White
House on Thursday about Hurricane Milton. Specifically, Biden said that's just a lie
to suggest that that's all that people are going to get. Let's hear from Biden.
Mr. President Trump, former President Trump, get a life, man, help these people. Mr. Trump and all those other
people know it's a lie to suggest that's all they're going to get. That's bizarre. It's bizarre.
They got to stop this. So Biden went on to say that Trump and others who spread information
are un-American. This comes as there has been at least 12 fatalities reported as a result of the
storm of Hurricane Milton, to be specific. Biden fears the death toll will only rise in the coming days following Hurricane Milton
and that he's been in contact with local leaders in Florida and promised to provide
all the assets they need. More on Biden. We know from previous hurricanes that it's often the case
that more lives are lost today following the storm than actually during the storm itself.
I know recovery and rebuilding projects can take a long and difficult time,
but as long after the press and the cameras move on, I promise you,
you have to pick up the pieces still. I want you to know everything on our power to help you put
pieces back together and get all that you need. Biden also spoke with Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin about providing military assistance
in hard hit areas impacted by Milton and Helene.
He also, okay, yeah, he talked about the misinformation.
Meanwhile, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis says Milton was significant, but wasn't the worst
case scenario that forecasters feared.
Thank God.
Right, exactly.
The damage is extensive and at least three million homes all remain without power.
Search and rescue efforts are ongoing with hundreds being rescued so far.
Let's hear from Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.
We're continuing supporting search and rescue operations.
As of this afternoon, at least 340 individuals and 49 pets have been rescued.
They are hard at work. I know this area's FPL.
I know they're planning a big push.
So we feel very confident that those folks are working very hard,
and you're going to see some good stuff here in the ensuing time period.
Well, the gag is two Floridians take this into account.
The Florida governor said that the Sunshine State is a state of law and order, so if there's some
things that he's saying,
you know, you might want to
be, basically
you want to listen to your governor. He mentioned
looting, saying that looting following
Hurricane Milton will not be tolerated. I can
only imagine, you know, that people are out there
trying to get it how they live, you know what I'm saying?
DeSantis says he has
brought in massive amounts of state officers to help with recovery efforts and confirmed he is working with
federal government for assistance uh the republican governor also addressed the recent reports that he
ignored vice president kamala harris's call saying if he thought there were anything to be gained
from speaking with her then he would have so yeah that's y'all elected official i'm just saying
florida florida going for it and of course go ahead no i was just gonna say you know trump did get all
the misinformation wrong but you know once you call out the misinformation you have to give the
right information and the right info is they did get 750 but that's the type of assistance that
fema provides uh to disaster survivors to help with immediate needs like food water and baby
formula but they can apply for more.
Do they have to pay that back? Because that's what the rumor was,
that people got to pay it back, and if you don't pay it
back, people will lose their homes. That was part of the misinformation.
And I also do hate when they talk like
Trump is the president. Like President Biden
said, Trump helped these people. I know he
has influence over the Republican Party, but stop
talking about him like he's the shadow president.
Unless he is.
Unless y'all want to tell us something.
Biden might have forgotten, right?
He is from Delaware.
Oh, don't do us.
Morgan, I'm sorry.
Go ahead.
All right, well, let's get to the last one.
Florida Senator Rick Scott, he told President Biden FEMA needs to open up offices closer to the areas where Hurricane Milton was hit.
He addressed a number of things when the two of them spoke yesterday.
Can we roll on Florida Senator Rick Scott? He agreed with me that Congress needs to come back and make sure
the federal agencies, FEMA, SBA, HUD, Department of Agriculture are fully funded, not just for the
disaster in Florida, but for the disaster with Helene in Georgia, East Tennessee, in North
Carolina. I've also called on the majority leader of the Senate to call us all back
and let's get this funding done to make sure we have all the resources we need.
See? Bipartisan efforts. You see that?
Florida Senator Rick Scott, he's a Republican. He's working with Biden.
They're doing things that are actually supposed to be done for the people.
So kudos to them in regards to that.
The senator went on to say that Floridians are resilient people.
Best of luck to those in Florida impacted
by the storm. That's your front page news
at 6 a.m. at 7. We'll talk about
what's going on on the campaign trail.
Salute to Lieutenant Dan. Lieutenant Dan is
the gentleman that was on the boat in Florida.
He wouldn't get off the boat. They tried to
arrest him. They tried to pull him off the boat.
They offered him housing. They offered him a hotel.
He made it through the storm though. He made it through the storm, though. He made it through the storm
with no problem. He just said he was a little tired because he couldn't
get some sleep, but he stayed on that boat
and wound up getting somebody
or donated him a $100,000
boat. So now he got offered another boat. So he's going to get
another boat. So salute to Lieutenant Dan.
All right, everybody else, get it off your chest.

Well, just with the messes up next
with Law and the Roasters
who don't go anywhere,
it's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Nick Cannon is co-hosting this morning.
All in his pocket.
Tonight, Nick Cannon is going to be at the Barclays
for Wild N' Out. So if you haven't got your tickets,
there's still tickets available.
Very few. So get your tickets absolutely positively
quickly. And let's get to Jess with
the mess with La La Rosa.
News is real, web.
Jessica Robin Moore. Jess don't do no lying.
Don't do no lying.
She don't spare nobody.
She don't spare nobody.
Worldwide Jets.
Worldwide Mets.
On The Breakfast Club.
She's a coach of shoes.
With Lauren, Lauren LaRosa.
I'm back.
And I got the Mets.
Talk to me.
So Diddy and team were in court yesterday.
And so this was a status hearing. So during the status hearing, there was a lot of different stuff presented.
I know earlier when we teased it, I said that he remains still in custody.
And that is because they did deny bail.
However, this is just the district judge.
So he still has another opportunity in the appeals court with an appeals judge.
What it will be three, it's actually going to be three judges.
It's a three judge panel, different judges and a different judge and who we saw yesterday to try again for
bail but as of right now um it has been denied at the district level now what they decided yesterday
was that there's going to be a gag order on both sides so the prosecutor's office and diddy's team
are no longer allowed to give out statements to the press uh information leak whatever because
you remember diddy scene
was saying that cassie video and other things were leaked and they believe that the department
of homeland security did it okay so they brought this up directly in court um so when diddy's teams
uh came in and they talked about the fact that they believe that stuff was being leaked and
leaked in this unfair it's a racist right racist so no well no so first wait let's back up so they didn't diddy scene didn't say racist yesterday it was the
prosecutor's office so diddy scene came in and was like look y'all been doing us a disservice
y'all are leaking stuff y'all are making this case hard it's unfair the prosecutor's office
said wait wait wait wait not the same attorney that sat down with tmz and did a whole documentary
and said that the prosecutor's office is racist and trying to take down a black man.
And we couldn't get him on anything else.
So we came for his bedroom.
Like basically like you're you're saying we're doing all this stuff, but we see you front and center, the star of a documentary.
So from there, a judge decided, like, look, on both sides, like, I think that this is what should happen.
Both sides, both sides agree.
Like, OK, we'll be quiet.
Yesterday in court, his mom,
his children, his daughters, his sons
were there. I thought that this was
something worth mentioning. His
appearance in court, like he was
he seemed very happy, very upbeat.
He was waving to his kids. His mom was blowing him
kisses. He came
in, he hugged his attorneys. So it doesn't
seem like he's frightened at all. His next court
date is going to be May 5th.
This is the date where the trial,
like that stuff will actually start happening.
Another thing worth mentioning too,
you guys know how we were trying to figure out
how much stuff do they have.
So the prosecutor's office is saying
that they're going to need about three weeks
to present their case because they have so much stuff.
Just in the beginning,
like just in the raids of the house in Miami
and the house in LA,
they seized 96 devices um and it's going to take them at least a month to go through it and that's not even including what they got from the airport and just other things that they have been able
to grab and they did mention again that superseding indictment which means things
will probably change and they're going to add more stuff as they find how much freaking was
freaking off i don't know they said there was lot. They said there was a lot that they possibly can't get into.
Like, I guess the way it was recorded or maybe the passwords on them that they won't be able to get through.
Yeah, that's it.
To get a lot of the stuff.
Yep, they're saying that they're having issues getting into things and that they have to, like,
once they think they can get into something, then they got to figure out a new technology to do it
because some of the tablets and stuff like that are old.
The defense was like, I hear y'all, but we only need a week to present our case.
We're going to be good. We only need a week to present our case we're gonna be good we only need a week how horny was diddy he had to be like the horniest man that's not a crime being horny though and like what you like it's not a
crime saying like how horny was he years and years and years how horny are you
all your devices in your house like imagine, you just got random stuff in your house.
They're not saying everything on there is free conf tapes.
They're not saying it's devices.
They just got to go look through them.
They got to look through all that stuff.
How many devices y'all got in your houses, though?
That's what I'm saying.
Think about, like, my kids got 3,000 iPads.
They're not going through the kids' stuff.
They're not going through the daddy's stuff.
Nick, you got to try, but it's a lot of kids.
Obviously, there's a lot of devices in most people's houses would have to go through all your i would hate to have to go
through all your kids the prosecution would hate to see them devices three years
roblox that's what you don't see well i did want to mention too that the cassie video did come back
up remember we talked about like you know that being a main focus yeah and the prosecutors were they hit back at the whole we need a gag order because the uh
the government is leaking things with let's be honest here y'all just want to suppress a certain
piece of evidence and it doesn't make any sense that you guys are trying to do that so they wanted
to make it clear like we know what you guys are trying to do you're making it about statements
it can't really be about statements and i know the law is the law but if something leaks that shows you actually committing a crime do we care if it was leaked
well we i mean it diddy's attorney doesn't the public doesn't but the diddy's attorneys will
because i mean you can try for mistrials you can there's a lot of technical legal errors
but do the same rules apply to judges that apply to like jurors because like you know
they say jurors can't watch media, can't talk to people,
so you're not influenced.
But that's impossible.
You're supposed to,
but like you said, that's impossible.
There's no way.
I mean, everybody's seen that video.
Yeah.
Well, we'll stay tight.
He has a lot of stuff coming.
Whoa.
He has a problem. You can't say nothing.
Yeah, and tight too.
You can't even say nothing.
That's what the baby oil was for
so it wasn't
oh look at you
tell us more
okay
only two people
in this room right now
have been to diddy parties
you ain't never been
to a diddy party
it's not me

what's classified
as a diddy party
cause you definitely

I never been to a Diddy party.
Y'all ain't never been to one of Puffy's parties?
Most Diddy parties are usually during holidays.
It's like Labor Day, Memorial Day.
So when he was out of college in the city and all that.
I'm DJing.
Y'all don't live in LA too
because in LA he was doing them like every week.
But I don't know about the crazy stuff.
It was just like.
I've even been there once when I was a kid,
like 16, 17.
Nick, Nick, Nick. Come on. I've even been at one when I was a kid like 16 17
I live my truth
I've remember standing outside, you know trying to get into a puff party out here in New York Like everybody was like how the how the one more chance video look that was real
Real stuff out here like what I people standing at the door who can
get in and stuff like that's bad boy parties was official in new york in the late 90s so hey
whatever y'all talk
everybody gets scared to talk because they probably got something to hide. I ain't got nothing to hide. I don't have nothing to hide.
I was in there Harlem shaking,
doing all of that stuff,
but it wasn't, come on, whatever.
That's why people say pause and all of that stuff.
What you hiding?
Why you always thinking like that?
Harlem shaking, Nick, in the 90s.
It's just funny.
Man.
All right.
Don't get nervous Lauren

I've been to a couple of them
but I've never been
to the crazy stuff
I told y'all that
I have nothing to hide
it was a great time
I think it's unfair
that we are classifying
a good party
with a freak off
I just think it's hilarious

brown dot Ciroc
let us know
that brown dot Ciroc but see that know. That Brown Dot Ciroc.
But see, that's the thing.
I don't drink.
I don't do drugs.

Lauren's drunk right now.
Lauren took a shot this morning.
I didn't take a shot this morning.
You took a shot this morning.

Next break.
Okay.
All right. Elon Musk. Yeah, so we was like, she's at work. Next week. Okay. All right.
Elon Musk.
Yeah.
So we only got one minute.
Yeah, you got it.
Okay.
So Elon Musk dropped some new stuff.
Well, he updated one thing and announced some new things.
So the iRobot,
this is something that he's been talking about since 2021.
Is it called the iRobot?
It's actually a humanoid robot.
It's named Optimus.
Optimus.
But it's literally giving iRobot.
I have some pictures for you guys.
The iRobot or Optimus in these photos, pouring drinks.
I'm not mad.
I'm a buy one.
Pouring drinks.
I want a few.
I'm a buy one.
Them robots going to be me towing people for 30 years.
Watch.
In 30 years, them robots going to be me towing people.
So this new version of Optimist, because they redid the design, is more human-like.
It's an estimated $ 20K price tag.
The goal of this is to perform tasks
that are unsafe, repetitive, or boring.
So, like, there's videos of this robot folding T-shirts.
Back in June, he said this robot could babysit your kids.
Nick?
I mean, I'm with it.
I need help.
Watch the kids.
Not unsupervised.
I done told about $500,000 of robots for you to watch.
He also said that this robot could just simply be a
companion or a friend as well.
That gets weird.
A companion?
People have animals as safety
companions and all that stuff.
I don't know.
This robot's going to be my landscaper.
It's going to be my security. It's going to be my security.
The R2-D2 movement.
Think about it.
It could be security.
That fact.
We're going to be programming them to do wild stuff.
The R2-D2 movement.
30 years.
Watch.
Not the R2-D2.
Watch.
R2-MeToo.
That's right.
R2-MeToo.
R2-MeToo movement.

2 Chainz was there.
I've seen 2 Chainz there.
He said he's ordering a couple too.
Elon, if you hear this,
listen, you need to invest over here.
All right.
Well, that is just with the mess

anywhere it's the breakfast club good morning the breakfast club your mornings will never be the
same that joe is back to host the bet hip-hop awards 2024 from dreyas las vegas with gunna
e40 trina central c and travis scott taking the stage. Premieres Tuesday, October 15th at 8, 7 central on BET.
Search and post with hashtag hip hop awards.
Good morning everybody, it's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy, we are The Breakfast Club.
Laura La Rosa filling in for Jess.
And Nick Cannon is our co-host this morning.
And let's get back to some front page news.
What's up Morgan?
Well let's get into it then.
So former President Trump, he's going after the Biden-Harris administration again on the economy after some poor reports.
The Consumer Price Index and the barometer of inflation rose more than expected is in September.
And initial filings for unemployment benefits also unexpectedly turned higher for last week. Speaking at the Detroit Economic Club on
Thursday, Trump chided the White House for keeping inflation higher than when he was in office.
Let's hear from Trump on Kamala and the polls. Under Biden and Harris, because of inflation,
the economy has been a total disaster. But Kamala says that she can't think of one thing that she
would do differently. The only reason that the stock market has gone up is because
Donald Trump is doing very well in the polls and it looks like he's going to
win yes so the latest polling information shows that former President
Donald Trump was or does have a slight lead over Vice President Kamala Harris
and the critical swing states of Pennsylvania and Michigan.
The Emerson College polling shows Trump with a 49 percent and Harris with 48 percent in the Keystone State.
And they're tied at 49 percent in Michigan. But you know what the truth is, though?
The truth is inflation is at its lowest level since February of 2021.
The problem is the price of everything else is too high.
Like the price of actual goods is too high.
But inflation is literally at its lowest level since February 2021.
That's right.
They did make those cuts recently.
Speaking of Michigan, Trump said that if he doesn't win in November, our whole country will end up like Detroit.
Now, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer.
Yeah, I know, right?
What up, though? Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer responded to Trump on X by saying, keep Detroit out your mouth.
And you better believe Detroiters won't forget this in November.
Mayor Mike Dugan on social media, he said that a lot of cities should be like Detroit, adding that we did it all without Trump's help.
Now, meanwhile, former President Barack Obama, he was on the campaign trail for
Kamala Harris in Pennsylvania. He spoke in Pittsburgh yesterday where he told crowds,
America is ready to turn the page to a better story and elect Harris. Let's hear from
former President Obama on voting. So whether this election is making you feel excited
or scared or hopeful or frustrated or anything in between do not just sit back and hope for the best
get off your couch and vote yeah obama added that vp harris has a great running partner in governor
tim walls um he went on to say that she under um that um obama says the that she also understands
the struggle of the middle class and outlined her plan to give financial help to first-time homebuyers, new parents, and small business owners.
Obama reminded voters of what the economy looked like when he left office in 2016.
Let's hear more from the former President Obama.
And the reason some people think, wow, I don't know, I remember that economy when he first came in being pretty good.
Yeah, it was pretty good because it was my economy.
But that's up.
We had had 75 straight months of job growth that I handed over to him.
It wasn't something he did.
I spent eight years cleaning up the mess that the Republicans had left me the last time.
That is simply a fact.
That's all.
Regardless how you feel about President Obama, that's a fact.
So, yes, in comparison, he said Donald Trump only gives tax breaks to corporations and the super rich.
Speaking of Democratic vice presidential candidate, excuse me, Tim Walz.
He was being questioned
after he strayed away from official Kamala Harris
campaign position recently.
The Minnesota governor told supporters in
Seattle and Sacramento that the Electoral College
needs to be abolished. However, the
Harris campaign came out and said
that that statement is not
a part of their campaign agenda. So,
just to make that clear, that is
Walz's opinion and how he feels. I don't necessarily disagree with him. I agree with him. So just to make that clear, that is Walls' opinion and
how he feels. I don't necessarily disagree
with him. I agree with him. What's wrong with that statement?
The Electoral College needs to be
abolished. They need to be abolished.
Yes, I agree with you on that.
I was saying I don't necessarily disagree
with Walls by saying that, but it is
not, so we can't hold him to the fire
when, you know, if something like that does not
happen because that's not a Harris campaign agenda item.
I hate the electoral cards.
Like, it makes no sense to me.
Popular vote you win.
It should just be a straight up vote.
That's it.
I'm with you.
Absolutely.
And while we're talking about vice presidential nominees, J.D. Vance on the other side of the aisle, he's making campaign stops in Greensboro. The Republican U.S. Senator from Ohio will be hosting a town hall at the Corey Convention Center tonight.
And his special guest moderator will be former race car driver Danica Patrick.
So, yeah.
Well, let's bring it home to New York then.
There's reportedly another investigation going on into the New York City Mayor Adams.
Another one?
I know.
I know.
Right?
When the heads are rolling. Sources tell the New York Times the
Manhattan District Attorney's Office is looking into the city's real estate leasing deals with
commercial properties. The Times reports that investigators have seized phones from five people
and the investigation possibly centers around bribery and money laundering crimes. Now Mayor
Adams is fighting unrelated federal bribery and illegal campaign contribution charges.
So this is on top of what's already going on.
There are several other active probes in the Adams administration.
So, yes, I will continue to keep you guys updated on what's going on with New York City Mayor Eric Adams, his administration and what's happening with all of those charges associated with that.
So, yeah, that's your front page news.
I'm Morgan Wood.
You can follow me on social at Morgan Media,
M-O-R-G-Y-N-M-E-D-I-A.
And for more news coverage,

and check us out at BINnews.com.
Happy Friday.
Cheers to the weekend.
Thank you, Morgan.
All right, now when we come back,
Robert Kraft will be joining us.
Of course, he's the owner of the New England Patriots.
He has a new campaign called Time Out Against Hate, and we're going to talk to him next.
So don't go anywhere. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Gerard, that made you hire him as the first black head coach of the Patriots.
I saw him come in on our team as a 10th pick.
We picked him in the first round round and that was actually at the
time the highest pick we had ever had since i owned the team that was in 08 and the second year
he was with i think he got voted defensive rookie of the year you know know, number one. And then in his second year with us,
he got elected captain.
And guys voted for him who had won Super Bowls. So it told me something,
that he could get respect of people.
And in locker rooms, I watched little things.
He played eight years.
And then he left us and went into private industry, worked in private
industry, reached back out and said he really wanted to get into coaching, and he coached us
three, four years. So the varied experience was special. Now, I've taken 27 missions to the Holy
Land, mainly Christians and athletes who haven't seen the country.
How about Israel?
Pardon?
Israel?
Yes.
When we were there, we had a group of athletes, and we were delayed at the airport,
and I think there were like over 20.
He organized them in the airport.
He got a discussion going and showed just unique leadership.
You know, in life, when you're hanging with people, you know, you connect for different reasons.
And the light went off.
And I said, anyone that can relate like this to young people, because the world is different than I bought the team 31 years ago.
Wow.
And, you know, I've watched the transition of players,
the impact of social media, how you relate.
It's different.
You've got to adapt.
And I just thought he had something special I respected.
I called my eldest son from the Holy Land that night,
and I said, I think I got our next head coach.
Wow.
That was five years ago.
What still excites you?
I mean, you did the Super Bowl thing.
You owned all different types of teams.
You're a philanthropist.
You travel around the world.
What still excites you?
You're rich as shit.
Well, I was going to say that point, yeah.
No, I'm not.
I'm comfortable.
What?
Yeah, right.
If that's your version of comfortable, we are poor. Yeah, let me hold something comfortable. Let. I'm comfortable. What? Yeah, right. That's your version of comfortable?
If that's your version of comfortable, we are poor as heck. Yeah, let me hold something comfortable.
Let me hold something comfortable.
Can I tell you something?
Mm-hmm.
And it's why, you know, today we launched a campaign to stop all hate.
Time out.
Why?
Yeah, time out again.
But why I do it?
Because I was a kid who lived in a walk-up apartment.
I went to college on a full scholarship.
I went to graduate business school on a full scholarship.
Didn't have a car until I was 25.
And I dreamt big, and I had my dreams.
And I was able to make a number of them come true.
Like, I own an NFL franchise in my hometown.
You know, I had a greater chance
of being a starting quarterback in the
NFL. There are 32
quarterbacks, and some of these
teams don't sell for 100
years, but I did
the things along the way I had to
do, and we started a little
paper and packaging company
52 years ago. We're in 127
countries today. And it's all because of our country and opportunities for anyone who wants to
take advantage of it. And I see things changing. And, you know, that's why I started this campaign.
It seems like you've always, well, in more recent times, it seems like you've been involved in public service.
Has that always been your thing?
Have you always been involved in community issues and what's going on in society?
Yes, I was privileged to have great parents.
I was sort of a wild kid, a middle child, and I had a mom and dad who gave me great love.
But my mom really disciplined me, thank God. And, you know,
if you're blessed to have one or two parents who give you good love and discipline, that's worth
more than financial resources for you to operate in the world because he gives you a strong
foundation. But to answer your question, I had a dad who, while he didn't have material riches,
he was the greatest man I ever knew because he was spiritual. And he left me an ethical will.
And he said, when you go to bed at night, make sure the people you've touched that day
are richer for having known you. Even though he had modest income, he taught me a rule.
He said,
you always give 10%
of whatever your income is away
as a minimum
to people who are more needy.
Oh, wow.
And the only thing I ever heard
my parents argue about
was about money
because he was so good,
he never was able to accumulate but i was blessed to have
that legacy so i ask all of us out there who are privileged to have kids to invest that time and
energy and try to give similar values that's right now when did you i don't want to say when did you
realize but a lot of times people with a lot of money don't understand how bad it is for other people because they're never there but you on the other hand are
completely opposite like you do things that most people don't do we seen you do it with me we see
you do with all these other organizations why well it goes back to my dad but quality that we've lost
in society today is empathy you know we don don't listen to what's going on
and look, that's why I think your
show is amazing. I don't know, you
connect with four or five million
people. You give a message.
Eight, but who's counting?
Maybe it's 12 and they're under-reporting
so they don't have to pay you
for those ads the way they should.
That's probably the case.
But think about it. You're relating in a way that people can connect and your messaging connects.
And the thing that bothers me now is people are just going in their own lanes and not opening up.
And especially social media is creating that where, you know, people just talk to one another in a way.
You know, how did I build my businesses?
I would relate to someone who was much different than I.
And I had to listen to what that person was saying and maybe change my way or go to to where that person is thinking.
And then it's the only way you can do big things.
But today, people aren't doing that.
They're just going in their own lanes and staying with similar people.
We got to change that.
I agree.
All right, we got more with Robert Kraft when we come back.
Don't move.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Good morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Lauren LaRosa is filling in for Jess, and we're still kicking it with Robert Kraft.
Charlamagne?
What do you think the difference is?
What's the difference between Time Out Against Hate and your nonprofit, The Foundation to Combat Anti-Semitism?
Well, you know, I started this Foundation to Combat Anti-Semitism, back in 2019.
Because I saw what was going on in Charlottesville in 17.
Guys carrying signs saying, Jews or blacks won't replace us.
And then in 19, the tree of life in a synagogue.
You know, you have someone come and shoot and kill people.
So with all our faults, and we still got to correct a lot of things.
And I think the most injustices have been done to people of color.
You know, you mentioned Meek.
Can I just say this?
Of course.
No one believes Meek and I are really friends.
I had developed a relationship with him through a mutual friend, Michael Rubin,
and he started calling me and asking me questions about how he could grow and prosper. And then he got thrown in jail for doing a wheelie.
He invited me to visit him in jail.
Now, I'd never been to a jail, and going and visiting him in jail
changed my life. I couldn't believe in the United States of America, we would take a guy,
look, he could be out earning millions of dollars, hiring employees, paying people salaries that
could help their family. Pay paying taxes and our system you know
because of bigotry is putting a guy in jail it's great and when i met him it really changed my life
he was nice and he he told me they fixed up the jail when i they painted it they knew i was coming
which is crazy to me. And he was nice.
I said, how come you don't have an edge?
I'd be ticked.
He's used to it.
He's not allowed to have an edge.
Exactly.
He said, I expected it.
And then I got into it with my buddy.
And I came out, by the way, and I spoke to the media.
He got out of jail two, three days later,
and he told me I made a difference.
It just told me how screwed up our system was,
and we got to change this whole bail situation.
And because of that, a few of us got together,
you know, Michael and Jay-Z and me and myself,
and we started this Reform Alliance to try.
We we we have to correct that system.
It's a great injustice in America.
I agree. I want to go back to something you said, though, because you have donated money to Democratic politicians.
You donated the most money to President Obama's campaign out of all the NFL owners.
But you talked about what happened in Charlottesville.
You're also good friends with Donald Trump.
And in 2017, you said Trump will be great for the economy.
So how do you feel about him in 2024?
Because he's fueled a lot of the dangerous things that have happened that you're talking
about.
Yeah.
Well, let me just say I'm a Democrat.
I've been I was head of the Democratic City Committee in Brooklyn and Newton. And I ran Teddy Kennedy's re-election
campaign with a young man called Tommy O'Neill in Boston, who was Tip O'Neill's son. And I've
always been Democratic. Donald Trump became a social friend in the early 90s when I was going down to Florida. And then when my wife of blessed memory
died 13 years ago, he was one of four or five people who reached out to me and was really,
really nice. The only donation I ever gave to him was he called me when he got elected
and I made a strong donation to his inauguration.
I couldn't believe it.
It was like having someone who's a drunk fraternity brother
become president.
I mean, I couldn't believe that, you know, he was...
You know, and yeah, I think he did things...
I mean, I'll say this, since I was very upset what happened January 6th.
He led an insurrection in his country.
Pardon?
I think he led an insurrection in his country.
And I haven't talked to him since then.
If you're against bigotry and you're against hate, why would you choose not to be involved in the election at in this in this year with somebody
like trump have an opportunity to be back in the white house he said you didn't like what he did
on january 6th led an insurrection in this country so why wouldn't you want to be involved once we
take a side politically then we alienate people and i don't want to i want, what we're preaching in our foundation, and you look, we were able to get the seven sports leagues and NASCAR,
which is mid-America, and a different,
I don't know how many NASCAR fans are listening to your show,
but we were able to bring them all together,
and they're all together preaching against hate
and trying to keep civility and still the greatest with all our faults in this country
we're the greatest country for opportunity look look what you folks are doing with this show
but we gotta work at it now i wanted to know so by you saying you're not getting involved in the election that doesn't are you going to vote though absolutely okay but you
just don't want to come out and say who you're voting for well yeah because when you do that
um let me just say this people from both sides both parties right at the top, have reached out to us and want us to be involved.
And I think we bring more value to this country
and to people who are needy by being in the position we're in.
And when you get involved in politics,
it's sad to me.
How do I benefit by demeaning anyone,
any group that's given,
even if they think differently than I?
I want them to have their chance,
but do it straight and be respectful of all.
Do you think that's the reason
why your franchise is so successful?
It's because y'all cheat.
Which I don't have a problem with. I wish my cowboys would cheat. Okay, but see what
you're saying? That's what I
call envy and jealousy.
You haven't won in a long time.
Look at you folks. You're doing
this show. You don't think there
are people that hate you that you're so successful?
Absolutely.
Of course.
And want to try to throw digs and throw.
Of course.
So, jealous and envy.
I have a saying.
Actually.
Uh-oh.
Oh, please.
Thank you.
No, he doesn't give no money.
I thought the money was for us too.
I was like, oh.
I meant jealousy and envy.
Okay, this is an RKK.
Jealousy and envy are incurable
diseases and it's the one time it is better
to be a recipient than a donor.
You carry that around all the time?
Yeah, I give them out.
There's about three other things in your pocket
you could have gave me.
I know. I'm a slob
I carry a game set
Don't tell anyone
Alright, well don't go anywhere, we're still kicking it with Robert Craft
Of course, he's the owner of the New England Patriots
So keep it locked, it's the Breakfast Club, good morning
Good morning everybody, it's DJ NG
Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy
We are the Breakfast Club, Lauren LaRosa's filling in for Jess
And we're still kicking it with Robert Craft
The owner of the New england patriots charlemagne you know i do want to ask
those like there's always this debate between uh belichick and brady and who's responsible for the
patriots success did tom need bill or did bill need time you know it's like well i don't know
all right you're not married no hell no so a lot of guys a lot of guys are having their eye in that direction.
I see.
Are you two married?
23 years.
How many?
26 years.
Married for 10, but been with my wife for 26 years.
Okay.
23 years.
So think about your marriage.
And by the way, that decision, if you get the right person, you're going to go through tough times.
But you stay together, especially if you have kids and the
dividends you get later but who's more responsible for keeping it together how do you answer that
and that's my wife that's easy my wife okay that's right wait so you and belichick like where
what's the relationship now because you know it's been on and off rumors that y'all don't really like each other like that.
Look, I mean, I kept him for 24 years.
I don't, yeah, I didn't enjoy having to fire him.
But I tried to do it.
If you look at the press conference and how it happened, try to do it in a classy way.
And what he did for us was great. You know, people need to adapt. And if they don't, or look at you folks together,
things can change. In life, it's about getting good chemistry and trust and feel that, you know, our record the last three to four years wasn't what I wanted.
And I had given him so much power.
He had full control over everything.
And shame on me.
I should have had some checks and balances better.
But he had earned that right.
But then the results weren't there and if you're in
the sports business you know you win or you lose there's no gray right and i hate losing now brady
were the patriots ever seriously thinking about signing colin kaepernick yes really yes why didn't you? Well, first of all, those are decisions I've never, like, we just changed.
We have a new quarterback starting this week.
I let my football people make decisions.
I'm happy to discuss things. I think it would have been a great thing for us to have hired him
because it would have been a great statement to the country
and, you know, you're the best team, the best coach, everything.
The NFL is not a straight-line business.
Personnel decisions are a function of, you know, many things going on.
When you bring in a quarterback,
how does it affect the second and third quarterback?
How does it affect the team?
We're trying to do things that always build team.
First, in America, what's happening now,
and the NFL is the perfect example.
If you don't have everybody on the same page, you're not going to win.
You can have the greatest quarterback, but it's not like other sports where you can have one or two great people and it can impact.
Great pitcher, great center. center you know in football special teams can lose you a game if they let a run back go or
offense by fumbling you can have the greatest defense and your offense gives so you need
it's it's what has to go on in america you need everybody pulling together and it's hard so it
was a rock nation that was pushing for you to sign cap or
why didn't you do was he blackballed like what was the reason that it just didn't happen you just
well there were a lot of variables it just um that i mean i didn't make that final decision
there were serious considerations in the end the bottom line is every decision we're making with the NFL team
on the game field is going to help us win or lose.
The one thing we've said, they can draft whomever they want.
Except we never want to bring a person into our system
who has done the wrong thing by women.
That's not allowed.
And I think in our third year of ownership,
we drafted someone who had abused women in his fraternity.
It was covered up to me.
It was a guy who should have gone in the first or second round.
We got him in the fifth or sixth round.
And when I found out after the draft, we cut him.
So Jabril Peppers right now is all over the news for domestic violence charges against his significant other.
And in the beginning of it
jared mayo has said that you guys didn't know enough to not allow him into the facility and
that change now he's on the commissioner's exempt list so do you guys conduct your own
investigations what was found like what was the change there because i know we we are doing that's
a very good question and you know we're living in a world now with so much on social media and so much
that's reported is unfair in these kind of situations and you know when you read the
thing initially it turns your stomach but we've learned and I don't know the facts in this case, and Gerard
called me, we spoke about it. Once he
goes on the commissioner example list, they do their independent
checking, we're doing ours. And if what's
reported is true, he's gone.
There have been some suggestions that this was a setup
and a lot of what's reported is not accurate.
I just...
How do you...
If I can just finish that.
I've seen in life that if someone...
Take any one of the three of you,
you have profiles,
if someone could set up something and say something,
that's just not true.
That's a fact, yeah.
And there's nothing, so one other thing,
and I've personally had that happen with me,
so I have a saying that I use to all my key people.
In important decisions in life, you measure nine times and you cut once.
And I think in this case, if what's been reported is true, he's gone.
But we want to get the facts.
I got one last question for you.
Why do you think you're not in the NFL Hall of Fame?
Because I don't know why you're not.
It makes no sense to me.
Read that card.
Jealousy.
Jealousy.
Wow.
I don't really, to be honest, I don't care.
Because on merit, you know, I think most people who are objective.
I know this is people.
It doesn't mean anything to me.
What I'm doing more in my foundation to combat that has a greater impact whether it just
i think the hall and it's happened with other people so it demeans the value of it it should
be objectivity the key thing is to dream your dream hang with good people of good character
and build bridges and that's what my life is about
ladies and gentlemen robert craft we appreciate you for joining us thank you i'm honored to be

or if you can make it to New York Wildin' Out live
at the Barclays tonight, get your tickets
and let's get to Jess with the mess with Lawn La Rosa.
News is real, we're in the headlines.
Jessica Robin Moore, Jess don't do
no lying.
Don't do no lying. She don't spell nobody. Kayla Nicole is again
addressing the Travis Kelsey breakup.
Look at you.
You can't keep Travis Kelsey name out your mouth.
Can you, Lauren?
This is crazy.
Anyway, so she is again addressing it because you guys remember they were dating from 2017 to 2022.
I didn't.
I was.
I hate and I was happy for my girl.
Okay.
She definitely had a picture.
Why do we know her?
Wait, why are we doing
Celeb News?
No, no, no.
I'm just saying,
where did we meet her
as a culture?
I feel like we're her
dating Travis Kelsey, right?
Because that was...
So for me,
I knew her before that
because she also is a broadcaster
and like a journalist.
She's in sports though.
But I think a lot of people
met her as Travis Kelsey's girlfriend's girlfriend okay that's what i just wanted that was shady no it's not
shady i was dead being asking why do why do we know is it she's a girlfriend or was she okay
you said you just gave her props because she's a journalist that's why i'm trying to okay all
right i'm just making i'm just so messy. And this one travels in black frequencies.
It was so messy. So, yeah, this is when
Travis had the Timbs
and the beer.
Okay.
This one, he was cute.
Damn.
So, okay.
So, she sat down
with Angel Reese.
Shout out to Angel Reese
and her podcast.
And they talked a lot
about a bunch of different things.
So, originally,
when Travis Kelsey
and Kayla Nicole broke up,
the rumors were
that she broke up with him
because he was making her
go 50-50 on things.
Let's take a listen.
I thought there was a rumor that they were saying that you stopped messing with him at one point because of 50-50.
Oh, the splitting the bills.
The splitting 50-50.
Yeah, the 50-50 rumor.
What was the tea on that?
Yeah, do I look like anybody that would split anything?
So you guys broke up at that point because...
Wow.
No, this is the question.
Do I look like I would go 50-50 on bills.
What's wrong with that?
Okay.
So, yeah, that was ridiculous.
But he addressed that, too, though.
I don't even know why that even became a thing.
Yeah, that was never an issue in our relationship, but it was definitely a rumor on the internet.
What do you mean, what's wrong with that?
Your parents decide if you go 50-50 or not?
By the way, I know a lot of girls living off the appearance, okay?
She was just with Angel Reese at the yep they were there I was wondering she's beautiful
she's a beautiful I would have been messing with her so that's like Angel's homegirl I think yeah
so she's Angel's homegirl because of the sports connection so then Angel Reese has the podcast
called unapologetically Angel,
and she brought Kayla Nicole on it to have a conversation about what she's doing now,
life in general, but they did get into Travis Cousins.
Now, you had your response to the, do I look like I go 50-50?
It's women who, I mean, that's how she feels.
I would have told her she looked broke.
So you don't look like you go 50-50.
Just to be an a-hole, I would have said that.
Okay, just to bring her down to earth a little bit.
The better you look, the more you feel like you should have to put in a relationship that's not how i feel but i do know women that feel that way like if they pull up a
certain way they shouldn't have to be responsible for anything and they live their life like that
and i know women who live a great life that way i mean they put up with a lot more in my opinion
than i probably would be able to but i got a rule to each his own i don don't pay for nothing for anybody who got more money than me.
I look like they got more money than me.
So if you're pulling up looking like you got that bag, you don't need my help.
She need me to go 54.
Normally people with the bag, though, enjoy paying for stuff.
We were just having that conversation in the room, right?
Yeah, you enjoy paying for it.
So why you ain't buy breakfast this morning, Nick?
I ain't eat breakfast.
Ain't nobody offering breakfast anyway.
I got your team stuff. Nobody why you ain't buying breakfast this morning, Nick? I ain't eat breakfast. Ain't nobody offering breakfast anyway. I got your team stuff.
Nobody offered you breakfast?
Nah. Charlamagne did.
I did. I said, do you want something
from Starbucks? I'm about to do the Starbucks run.
That's not breakfast. You throwing trees on a low
up here. First we ain't feed you. Now, Kayla
Nicole, who is she? I didn't say. You
said that. I was
asking, let's set the playing
field to where, who we talking about.
That's all I was saying.
Also, don't act entitled.
Like, you know what I'm saying?
We don't like entitlement in no other place.
So why do we like people that act entitled like that?
You're not entitled to anything.
But if she feels like she is and a man is willing to do that for her, what's the issue?
That's her situation.
Salute to her, though.
Right, okay?
You better not try that, Lauren.
I'm not a do I look like i go 50 50
but however i see you fighting with that eyelash we know you can't go 50 50 not yet but you on your
way lauren i believe in you i believe in you first of all uncle grumpy i'm 100 holding down
everything over here and in previous relationships even when i pulled up as big dog i'm always down
to support but that's right i don't even want to date nobody that i have to have that conversation with if you need me i
got you and if i need you that's how we got me but mind your business about my eyelash my finances
and my men because you over here messing up a lot of stuff for me recently okay oh okay
she hit you with the claw i was gonna cut my nails this week but I need it for you told me stop
bringing up her hose okay I'm messing up her house anyway anyway anyway anyway
this she also started talking about why did I just got Because you tied in them calls. So I'm just one of your hosts? Whoa.
There you go.
This is really not going to help, guys.
Dang, I'm trying to live a prosperous life, and y'all just... She also addressed the Taylor Swift stuff.
And this is the second time she's addressed it.
She also talked about this on the Pivot, too.
But she got a lot of dragging publicly when it was announced that he was now dating Taylor Swift
because people were comparing her and saying he leveled up like they were talking about status money whatever but she you know
she's saying like that level of fame it got crazy so let's take a listen I would be lying if I said
that that level of hate doesn't impact me it does yeah even to this day yeah you could go to my
most recent post and it will be people debating each other why i am worthless and i'll never be a talented person and i have no career and i'm a bum and
just i think that there's something about that level of fame that attracts crazy people and
it's unfortunate because i've never done anything to warrant that kind of backlash but would you
ever get in a public relationship again though i don't see myself doing that anytime soon no if you guys would see each other like are you guys cool or
no i mean i would probably like hit him with a head nod that's about it okay she gotta hit him
with the head nod though if they hug or talk too long it's a whole uh media blitz about how
they're rekindling a mixed a miss taylor smith you know how to head nod back you don't be around
black people no more you think you know how to head nod back? He don't be around the black people no more. You think he know how to return the head nod? No.
It'd go down.
He'd probably hit the up.
It wouldn't go down.
I like her, though.
She got a cool disposition.
She's handling all of this very well.
She don't have a choice.
It's either like... Because she's also building a career at the same time as a sports analyst.
So it's like either you go hide or you pop out and continue to do shows.
They critique everything she does.
She reported on Travis Kelsey
a couple days ago
and they were like,
it was shady.
She was weird about how she did it.
If you listen to the audio,
she just got through the report.
It was very not.
But she doesn't have a choice.
I mean,
I think she's using it
to her ability
and more power to her.
What you think, Nick?
You got that look in your eye.
Baby mama number 16 on the way.
She was with Angel
at the Wild N' Out show.
You gonna have more?
He didn't say no.
He did not say no.
Wait.
There more?
More what?
Kids.
Because you didn't say
no more kids.
I didn't say that.
Whatever God has planned for me
is how I'm gonna walk that walk.
Kayla,
if we see her
at another Wild N' Out,
we already know the walk has been walking. All walk. Kayla, if we see her at another WAPA now, we already know.
The walk has been walking.
Thank you.
All right.
Well, that was Jess with The Mess with Lauren LaRosa.
Charlamagne.
Yes.
Who are you giving that down?
Katoob.
Four after the hour.
We need the former president of the United States of America, Donald J. Trump, to come
to the front of the congregation.
We'd like to have a word with him.
Detroit, what up, though?
All right.
We'll get into that next.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Your mornings will never be the same.
Fat Joe is back to host the BET Hip Hop Awards 2024 from Dreyas, Las Vegas,
with Gunna, E-40, Trina, Central C, and Travis Scott taking the stage.
Premieres Tuesday, October 15th at 8, 7 central on BET.
Search and post with hashtag Hip Hop Awards.
Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of muslims entering the united states
wouldn't you love to see one of these nfl owners when somebody disrespects our flag
to say get that son of a bitch off the field right now out he's fired he's fired
please step up to the congregation. Yes, you are a dog.
When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best.
They're bringing drugs.
They're bringing crime.
They're raping.
He's a jackass.
Yes, dog here today for Friday, October 11th.
Goes to the former president of the United States of America, Donald J. Trump.
Oh, the mayonnaise is heavy with this one.
Now, we are 25 days away from the presidential election.
And if you notice, the candidates, Donald John Trump and Kamala Devi Harris, are spending a lot of time in the battleground states.
Seven states usually decide the election.
Those states are Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
So over the next 25 days you will
see the candidates in those states a lot especially michigan and pennsylvania which is why i still
don't understand why tim walsh was picked over josh shapiro but who cares in life you must play
with the cards you've been dealt now donald trump was campaigning in michigan yesterday and he was
speaking to the detroit economic club at the motor city casino and he was doing what some would call
rambling but as he said on
my guy Andrew Schultz's flagrant two podcast he was expressing his genius ability to weave can we
hear him talk about his genius ability to weave first right you know I do a thing called a weave
and there are those that are fair that say this guy is so genius and then others would say oh
he rambled I don't ramble. If I saw this story,
what you do is you weave things and you do it.
You have to have certain things.
You need an extraordinary memory because you have to come
back to where you started.
A weave is only good if you come back.
You can go all the way over here.
And I can go so far here
or there.
And I can come back to exactly where i started now someday when you
don't come back to where you started you're biting but the weave is the way now i played that because
i want you to know the media calls what trump does rambling but as you can hear him explain he's
fully aware what he's doing and what he's saying so when we hear him say certain things let's not believe he's just talking let's not believe he's just rambling he
means every word so in detroit trump was speaking at length about the threat he believes vice
president kamala harris poses to the u.s if she wins and he decided for whatever reason to just
take his alleged pamper off and defecate all over detroit let's go to cbs detroit for the report
please well it's not every day that a presidential candidate comes to a city to diss the same city that he's standing in.
That's exactly what the former president did this afternoon. Now, it's anyone's guess exactly how
this will fare for him come November, but Detroiters have opinions. The whole country is
going to be like, you want to know the truth? It'll be like Detroit. Our whole country will
end up being like Detroit if she's your president. Disparaging remarks given by President Donald Trump on Wednesday at a campaign stop in the city has Detroiters up in arms.
Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan tweeting, lots of cities should be like Detroit, and we did it all without Trump's help.
Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer also chimed in saying, keep Detroit out of your mouth.
And you better believe Detroiters won't forget this in November.
Detroit, what up, though?
If America turns into Detroit, that would be great.
I mean, we'd have soul, resilience.
That's what the R on this hoodie I'm wearing stands for, resilience.
Everybody who listens to us on WJLB and the beautiful motor city,
what's happening, drop on the clues bombs for them.
Okay, Michigan is a crucial battleground state.
So, yeah, Trump decides to come to michigan
and insult the largest city by both population and size in michigan and by the way detroit is
considered to be on an upswing you saw what the uh the the mayor tweeted out they just read that
on the news report you heard what big gretch said big gretch said detroit is the epitome of grit
defined by winners willing to get their hands dirty uh to build up their city
and create their community something donald trump could never understand so keep detroit out your
mouth and you better believe detroiters won't forget this in november um that's right you got
to come to the defense of your city i don't understand why trump would come to michigan
and insult the biggest city in michigan but i'm gonna tell you right now when i say i don't
understand like trump i'm basically a truthful person.
Actually, I'm lying because I know exactly why he has no problem insulting Detroit,
because Donald Trump knows that a lot of his supporters simply don't care about black people.
Let's be clear about it. Vice President Kamala Harris is a woman of color, black and Indian.
When Trump says the whole country is going to be like Detroit, if she becomes president,
he's telling folks that they need to fear america becoming too black not only will you have a black woman president but detroit used to be the blackest
city in america i believe it still is if not it's still very very very very black i did some research
and by research i mean i asked chat gpt and it said 78 of its population uh identifies as black
78 okay so trump was telling all those folks there if vice president kamala harris becomes
president america will be very black we got to stop calling these things racist dog whistles
okay these are white supremacist bullhorns at this point if you don't see the play by now then you
don't want to see it okay nobody plays in the white racial grievances like donald trump saying
america is going to be like detroit Detroit if Kamala Harris wins is just coded language
that attracts racists.
So please let Kathy Griffin give Donald Trump
the biggest hee-haw.
Please give this giant jar of mayo the biggest hee-haw.
Salute to everybody in Detroit.
What up, dawg?
Yeah.
Unless you're going to be there tonight in Detroit.
I'm going to be there Tuesday.
I want to talk to Detroit for a second. I'm going to be in Detroit. What up, dawg? Yeah. I'm actually going to be there tonight in Detroit. I'm going to be there Tuesday. I want to talk to Detroit
for a second.
I'm going to be in Detroit
on Tuesday,
and I would like for, you know,
some people from Detroit
to join me
as I sit down
and have a conversation
with our Vice President,
Kamala Harris.
Okay?
Yes, I'm going to have
a conversation
with the Vice President
live on iHeartRadio.
You know,
our listeners
are very passionate.
Remember the brother Tone
that called up the other
day yep and he had a lot of grievances a lot of things he wanted to get off his chest i want local
voices from detroit and voices from all the battleground states to get the opportunity to
ask vice president kamala harris some questions i know we got some uh pressing issues to talk
about the future the nation is decided by who we elect so i want to tell detroit and the whole
country don't miss an event we are calling we the people a conversation with vice president kamala harris
and myself charlemagne to god uh this tuesday at 5 p.m eastern 2 p.m pacific right here and when i
mean right here whatever station you are listening to me on in your market you will hear the
conversation tuesday at 5 p.m eastern 2 p.m time. Now, if you listen to us on the iHeartRadio app,
there's a feature called Talk Back.
Use the Talk Back mic and send me your questions right now.
Like, right now, go to the Talk Back feature on the iHeartRadio app
and send your questions for We The People,
a conversation with Vice President Kamala Harris
and myself, Charlamagne Tha God,
happening Tuesday at 5 p.mpm on iHeartRadio.
That's right. Yes, indeed. Alright, well thank you
for that donkey today. Absolutely. Now when
we come back, Resmaa
Minikim will be joining us. He has a new
book, The Stories from My
Grandmother's Hands. It's a children's book.
It's a book that's been out for a couple
years. Fantastic book. One of my favorite books ever.
I recommend it to everybody, but he just turned it into a children's
book. That's right. And he'll be at my fourth annual Mental Wealth Expo tomorrow
from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
That's right.
Right out in Marquine Times Square.
And if you're in New York City,
Nick Cannon is going to be at the Barclays tonight.
We going up.
That's right.
So make sure you get your tickets while we're out.
We'll be hitting the Barclays.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
She moved.
You watched how she got down. What she recoiled from, what she leaned into, right?
Her sense.
That's right.
That's exactly right.
I'm just saying.
It's so crazy.
I'm connecting to this book.
It's because my grandma is a big part of my life.
That's exactly right.
That's exactly right.
And so all we did with the book was bring all that stuff together and have our people
begin to work with these pieces that are already
percolating.
Like, I know you got daughters, right?
More than me.
So beginning to work with your own pieces, and you know, you talk about your healing
journey a lot, right?
Working with those pieces actually gives room for your children.
When you have more room in your nervous system, when you've worked with some pieces, your
children pick up on the room that's available to them it becomes more resourcing so when me and um brother t michael
did was to try and put a book in very small little lines um to try and put a book together
that would allow our people to begin to explore these pieces as opposed to getting rid of
especially during this time of uh of what's
happening in palestine during this time of what our people have gone through and the connection
and and how empire just destroys people's bodies um i think this book is really important right now
how difficult was it to and i don't i don't take this the wrong way but almost to dumb it down so
that a three-year-old can understand it you know i mean you know i think you say that because i i'm what our interest was was to apply concepts that are tangible and
extensory because we always and as you pointed out i could smell yeah i could feel i could touch
and so each of the pages are couplets there are two pages per grandmother so they're the different
name for a grandmother for every two pages which speaks to the different variety of black and brown women who are
grandmothers and so through each of those we experience an opportunity for
the reader and for the child to say all right my grandmother and hand is no
accident because that's right a hand is such a healing thing it's the sad it's
the soother it's the pattern it's the giver you know so the idea of a hand
being symbolic and the grandmother being that who's always offered
us that sense of healing.
And that art, music, poetry, literature opens and heals the wound at the same time.
So this opens a space, we go, oh, right.
And then it cleaves.
The word cleave is fascinating because in this book we cleave.
The word cleave means to close in this book we cleave the word cleave
means close but also means to open yeah right so it's one word that has opposite meanings but still
the same word the book all asks the reader to cleave that which is is really integral to growing
into healing yeah and to release yeah one thing i would say is you know growing up as a kid you
know all we had was books right so you know we had one tv and that which is usually in the living room and you watched it
as two tvs one one with the sound on the top and the one with the right so you know then then tvs
became more affordable and then tv started watching your kids and putting your kids to sleep
and then they start ipads and cell phones which is now putting your kids to sleep for a lot of
parents how do we get people getting to get back to reading to their kids and make sure their kids have the knowledge that are in these books?
When they're watching you read, you know, you're reading it in before they go to bed.
That's exactly right.
Exactly.
Go ahead.
I hear your question.
How do we get?
How do we relearn as adults, as a parent, as a guardian?
Because parents make excuses.
They work all day.
Now they're tired.
I'm cooking.
I'm cleaning. And they leave less time for the kids education they'll take them to sports all day long and support them in their games and baseball softball basketball but when it comes to
this this is almost i don't want to say a lost art but it's it's a lost art not a mile but you
know the thing is what's happening right we us being here in this conversation, it has to be modeled by people who are opinion leaders, who are those people look to.
If we see, when Lamar Burton had Reading Rainbow, reading was really an amazing thing for him because he stepped out of this roots construct into speaking to the roots of people by pages.
And so we have to just have spaces where we have conversations like these
and talk about reading.
It's cool.
It's cool.
All right, we got more with Resmo Minikin.
When we come back, don't move.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Good morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Lauren LaRosa filling in for Jess,
and we're still kicking it with Resmo Minikin.
His new book, The Stories From My Grandmother's Hands,
the children's book, is out right now.
Charlamagne? The other thing that I was going to say
is what makes kids gravitate towards
books, especially my daughters, is the artwork.
We didn't have this growing up. You didn't
see black bodies, black
people, black faces on books like that.
As soon as I bring this home, they're going to be
all over. You have some real photos in here, too.
That's right. My grandmother right there.
This is your grandmother? Okay. What y'all need to know is that the artist so there's three of us
that put the book together the artist that did that is a is a uh so these aren't illustrations
these are actually paintings paintings and mixed art uh mixed media paintings so this is Leroy
Campbell so in our community we know who Leroy Campbell is like Leroy Campbell and Charles Bibb. So these, this, he, when we put the, when we wrote it,
we sent it to him and he just started putting the pieces together for each one.
We shared some ideas about what we thought the pictures needed to have in them.
That's right. The music goes with each line in the book, right?
That's why we wanted people to be able to download it and have it readily available to them.
That's why it's wrapped in plastic is because we don't want people to open up the book and then take a picture of the code in order to download the thing.
That's right.
Yeah.
So Leroy did all of the art in order to download the thing so that yeah so so um so leroy did all of
the art pieces to that and um and and he didn't do it on computer he did it straight he did it
took him two years to get all of that together that's why they feel so rich that's why they
that's why the sense of it is the way that it is. So this book for me is probably to date one of the most important books I've ever done.
Is it true y'all gave away 6,000 copies?
We gave away 6,000 free copies to people in our community.
All you had to do is sign up for it.
And we gave them because we wanted our people to have it first.
Right?
Because a lot of times what ends up happening is that when we make stuff available, the white folks have access to technology.
The white folks have access to, you know, people with means have access to it.
So we wanted to make sure all you got to do is sign up.
We covered all of the postage.
We covered everything.
And we gave away six thousand.
And, you know, I'm gonna go back to family stuff.

It's every day. they were going to want to have. And they came. That's right. They came. And drove.
And I'd love to,
would it be possible if we read a couple of copies?
Yeah, I just read the whole book.
I can't wait to call my grandma.
Like, it just feels like,
I mean, I was raised
by my mom and my grandma,
so it feels so home.
Like, I read the whole book,
but you,
go ahead.
Yeah, I'd love to do that.
Want to read something on it?
Yeah, let's do it.
Yeah, thank you.
And I love that it's one-liners, too,
because it's going to cause conversation.
Exactly.
And we want to pause at each point. Now, too, because it's going to cause conversation. That's right.
And we want to pause at each point.
Now, the first, the pictures cannot be seen.
They're good pictures.
The first couplet, and as I said, they're couplets, two pages per grandmother. My grandmother's hands are big like sunrise, with fingers thick and coarse like the corn
rolls braided into her silver gray hair.
My grandmother's hands picked cotton.
Conversation started right there.
Right there.
That's it.
What?
And these hands,
all the hands are exaggerated
so that people can see the depth
of what the story and the hands have done.
Then this next couplet,
this next one,
we refer to this grandmother as granny.
Some of us know the granny, right?
So my granny's hands rest on her belly as she hums and sighs, rocks and sways like leaves swirling in the breeze.
My grandmother's hands left handprints on my heart.
Handprints on your heart?
What you mean, granny?
Yeah.
So, like, each couplet, like the music, and the music and I integrating diversifying your portfolio we have the album to ensure that the reader and the parent or the Guardian has a chance to recognize there's a synergy there's a
way of integrating all these elements and sensory stuff what black folks can
brown people came to understand it was about learning auditorily mm-hmm the
oral tradition all these things mak making stuff by hand, watching grandmother
cook.
So all these pages speak to artwork that shows a grandmother cooking, shows a young child
with a wheelchair.
So there are all these things that say everybody has access, everybody can see themselves in
the picture.
Yeah.
One last thing.
So what we did was is that each of the terms that we use for grandmother were specifically picked.
And the reason why we picked it, we wove a lot of things into this book in order to have people begin to inquire and ask questions.
So so what we did was we picked names from the five different nations that brutalized us okay so so uh there's a name
for portuguese for grandmother there's a name for english for grandmother there's like all
for spanish all of so so the reason why we did that is that we wanted our people to begin to
work with those pieces and then begin to inquire over time like why why does why is she
saying grandma this but none this one is saying that and and hopefully people will begin to look
at how black bodies have been traumatized even before we got here right and so so a lot of the things the music are all points of inquiry and that's we we tell
the parents listen before you ever even read the book to your child it may be a month or two before
you read the book to your child listen to the music download it onto your computer and then
just walk around and listen to the music and then that will begin to stir stuff for you.
Stuff that you have intended to.
So that way when you read to your babies, when you read to your babies,
they will pick up on both the constriction and the resource.
I can't wait to read this to my daughters tonight, man.
Definitely pick this book up.
We appreciate you brothers for joining us.
On the front,
there's also
people can take workshops
with me.
All you got to do is scan.

in the book.

I understand.
Wow.
First of all,
I don't even know what you're talking about.
That was mad whack.
Actually, our video of us partying in the studio.
When you talked me into twerking at work.
Yes, yes.
Oh my God, it did so well.
But a lot of people in the comments were saying
how happy they are to see two women in radio
not hitting each other to party.
So address her.
All you did, all you addressed was the guys in the room.
No, no, no.
I said, hey, guys.
Guys is a plural kind of like them.
Don't let this black thing.
Yes.
No.
Yes.
No.
Yes.
No.
When's the last time you've been in school?
No.
You obviously don't know.
It's not my fault y'all don't see each other.
I'm not.
Why are you tripping off me?
You want to talk about somebody not seeing somebody, Charlamagne? Do want to do this yes i do let's talk about it it's time for
pastor it's time for pastor i'm not about to sit up here and play with you man all right so as y'all
know j cole is back okay look at you excited look at you j cole is back back doing what
stop playing i know you know about J. Cole is crazy?
What's happening?
What is he back doing?
I didn't know he left.
That's what I'm saying.
What is he back doing?
That's cat behavior because you text me when the record drops.
Don't act like you wasn't on it, all right?
Poor Antonio.
You are so stank.
That's dope.
He's going in on it.
He's very dope.
You know what I'm saying?
He's dope.
But like I said yesterday, okay, you got to lift Drake's head up,
keep Drake's head up,
you know what I'm saying?
Rub him on the back,
let him know everything
is going to be okay.
I don't know why you feel
the need to defend Kendrick.
Why does he feel the need
to defend his decision so much?
That's his decision.
J. Cole made a great decision.
J. Cole made a great decision.
He's protecting his peace.
I thought it was G.
Who cares what the internet
got to say about it?
Because this is his therapy.
He's rapping through his therapy.
J. Cole is like a diary entry rapper. He lets us us he's introspective he gives us he gonna give it
to us and come back and explain i don't like that salute to jay i feel like you feel the need to
defend kendrick for no reason at all kendrick who's anything about kendrick you keep inserting
kendrick let me show you how kendrick did a number on the game let me tell you how Kendrick did a number on the game. Let me tell you how Kendrick ruined J. Cole and Drake forever.
He's really the boogeyman.
I'm so sorry.
Kendrick is really the boogeyman.
You should have talked about the skins.
You know what he said?
He said him and Drake make one black man.
That's a fact.
That's a scientific fact.
I mean, because it's half-half.
Half-half.
All right.
So why are you even talking about it?
But you know how Kendrick is really the boogeyman?
Nobody said nothing about the music. But you know how Kendrick is really the boogeyman? Yo, shut up.
Nobody said nothing about Kendrick.
But here she goes.
I don't feel the need to defend Kendrick.
The boogeyman.
Charlotte.
Only BK.
Guys, it's not a debate.
We got to go.
Either one of them, yeah.
We got two other records to get to.
A few other lines I just wanted, I mean, yeah, a few other lines I wanted to mention was they instigate the free because it's profitable.
Y'all ain't stopping me in the hook,
which makes me feel like an album is coming.
I hope an album is coming.
You never quote lyrics like this.
You a real J. Cole fan.
I love it.
Go ahead.
By the way, these are all revelations that J. Cole just came to in the last 365 days.
He definitely just put out a diss record in the last year.
Shut up.
And he apologized.
He's working on himself.
We've allowed you to grow, okay?
I'm the guy that's listening to my life.
He's grown.
You know what?
He's grown.
He's so much grown.
I'm perfectly fine with Cole making his decision.
I said that when it happened.
He protected his peace.
So stop explaining it, my brother.
The next record I want to get into is Jordan Ward and Junie.
They did a tape together.
And I'm actually featured on the tape.
Make sure you guys listen to the full thing.'re rapping i'm i'm doing a little something but the record's called
homebody that i'm promoting today that's all okay okay yes shout out to jordan st louis shout out
to judy juni from the dmv um i love them and next i'm gonna go with little dirks new joint featuring
honcho we gotta hear more you can't cut it off right now. What does he mean?
Sex don't feel the same when you in love.
Is better?
I was assuming that's what he meant.
I don't know. I know Indy ain't happy
about that. But why are they
young men rapping about sex pills and honey packs
though? He too young for that. Well,
they be doing it. They be testing it out.
Seeing if it work. Yeah.
I think it's more of a heightener or like sometimes we will be pop like you people
be popping purchases see but that's like to know in my day we had the ginseng
stone remember the ginseng stone you get it you wet it and then you rub it on
your pee pee that day you know what I'm saying get a stout get a stout they say that does it Henny definitely
Henny is a
Henny is a laxative
and an aphrodisiac
let me do
definitely laxative
okay
I think I get what Dirk meant
what Dirk said
cause he said
sex don't feel the same
when you in love
sex don't feel the same
when you leave the club
arguing back and forth
you know I hate that
I hate you
got some friends
that ain't in relationships
they pretend to be your friend
but they really basic
b-word
so I think he's saying
when feelings get involved
and then you start arguing,
beefing about stupid stuff,
it can make the other part of it not fun.
But I mean,
the toxic person in me,
nah, nah.
Oh my God.
Nah, because that's totally understandable.
Well, makeup is,
makeup,
alright.
Sex and love is amazing.
Yeah, I thought so too.
I think it's the best.
That's all we got time for though.
Yep.
Yeah, because y'all argued about Drake and Kendrick
for two hours.
No.
First of all,
I love how you left out Cole.
My G.
