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. Today is Friday, though.

Starting point is 00:02:38 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.
Starting point is 00:02:47 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.
Starting point is 00:03:01 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.
Starting point is 00:03:17 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.
Starting point is 00:03:29 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.
Starting point is 00:03:45 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?
Starting point is 00:03:55 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
Starting point is 00:04:13 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
Starting point is 00:04:57 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
Starting point is 00:05:39 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.
Starting point is 00:06:06 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.
Starting point is 00:06:37 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
Starting point is 00:06:58 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
Starting point is 00:07:30 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
Starting point is 00:07:53 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.
Starting point is 00:08:08 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
Starting point is 00:08:37 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.
Starting point is 00:09:05 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.
Starting point is 00:09:21 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.

Starting point is 00:16:18 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,
Starting point is 00:16:32 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.
Starting point is 00:16:48 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.
Starting point is 00:17:00 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.
Starting point is 00:17:23 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
Starting point is 00:18:01 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.
Starting point is 00:18:36 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
Starting point is 00:18:54 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.
Starting point is 00:19:10 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
Starting point is 00:19:23 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.
Starting point is 00:19:53 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.
Starting point is 00:20:29 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.
Starting point is 00:20:41 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
Starting point is 00:21:21 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,
Starting point is 00:21:49 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.

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.

Starting point is 00:26:43 And I'm not arguing with you heathens about it. All right. robert kraft will be joining us so don't go 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.
Starting point is 00:27:17 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.
Starting point is 00:27:52 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.
Starting point is 00:28:33 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.
Starting point is 00:28:57 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
Starting point is 00:29:34 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.
Starting point is 00:30:22 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.
Starting point is 00:30:54 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
Starting point is 00:31:15 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
Starting point is 00:31:32 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.
Starting point is 00:31:49 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.
Starting point is 00:32:13 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
Starting point is 00:32:26 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.
Starting point is 00:33:05 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, follow at Black Information Network and check us out at BINnews.com. Happy Friday. Cheers to the weekend.
Starting point is 00:33:18 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.
Starting point is 00:33:38 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.
Starting point is 00:34:20 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?
Starting point is 00:34:49 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.
Starting point is 00:35:25 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.
Starting point is 00:35:46 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?
Starting point is 00:35:57 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.
Starting point is 00:36:08 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?
Starting point is 00:36:23 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
Starting point is 00:36:48 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
Starting point is 00:37:04 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.
Starting point is 00:37:42 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,
Starting point is 00:38:26 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
Starting point is 00:38:41 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
Starting point is 00:39:26 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.
Starting point is 00:39:42 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.
Starting point is 00:40:30 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.
Starting point is 00:40:42 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.
Starting point is 00:41:09 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?
Starting point is 00:41:37 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
Starting point is 00:42:21 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.
Starting point is 00:42:52 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.
Starting point is 00:43:16 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.
Starting point is 00:43:43 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
Starting point is 00:44:07 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.
Starting point is 00:44:53 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
Starting point is 00:45:25 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
Starting point is 00:46:15 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.
Starting point is 00:47:07 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.
Starting point is 00:47:30 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.
Starting point is 00:47:47 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.
Starting point is 00:48:00 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
Starting point is 00:48:14 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
Starting point is 00:48:29 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
Starting point is 00:48:48 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.
Starting point is 00:49:10 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
Starting point is 00:49:40 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.
Starting point is 00:50:33 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.
Starting point is 00:51:14 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?
Starting point is 00:51:51 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
Starting point is 00:52:34 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
Starting point is 00:53:21 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.
Starting point is 00:53:56 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
Starting point is 00:54:48 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...
Starting point is 00:55:16 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,
Starting point is 00:55:35 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.
Starting point is 00:56:05 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.
Starting point is 00:56:18 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 here and i congratulate you all for building the equity brand that you've done here well that's right that's right robert craft thank you this is the breakfast club good morning everybody

It's crazy. Robert Kraft pulled all that money out of his pocket and didn't leave nothing on the table with a damn card.
Starting point is 00:57:18 Yeah. Pulled all that money out of his pocket and left us a card. You are a bird. It was all $100 bills, too. That's what I'm saying. What else would it be? A used card, too. A used card. I don't know what you're saying. A bunch of new hundreds and a used card. You are a bird. It was all $100 bills too. What else would it be? A used card too. A used card.
Starting point is 00:57:25 A bunch of new hundreds in a used card. Jesus Christ. Alright, don't forget Nick Cannon is going to be at the Barclays tonight, so if you're in New York City 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.
Starting point is 00:57:42 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.
Starting point is 00:58:12 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
Starting point is 00:58:27 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...
Starting point is 00:58:37 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
Starting point is 00:58:57 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.
Starting point is 00:59:11 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,
Starting point is 00:59:18 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.
Starting point is 00:59:32 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.
Starting point is 00:59:43 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?
Starting point is 00:59:58 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.
Starting point is 01:00:31 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
Starting point is 01:00:55 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.
Starting point is 01:01:20 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.
Starting point is 01:01:34 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.
Starting point is 01:01:47 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?
Starting point is 01:02:01 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
Starting point is 01:02:37 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.
Starting point is 01:03:17 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
Starting point is 01:04:08 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.
Starting point is 01:04:33 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
Starting point is 01:04:49 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,
Starting point is 01:04:57 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.
Starting point is 01:05:08 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
Starting point is 01:05:14 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.
Starting point is 01:05:25 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.
Starting point is 01:05:32 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.
Starting point is 01:05:41 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
Starting point is 01:06:08 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.
Starting point is 01:06:38 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
Starting point is 01:07:05 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
Starting point is 01:07:43 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
Starting point is 01:08:01 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
Starting point is 01:08:42 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.
Starting point is 01:09:27 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
Starting point is 01:09:46 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
Starting point is 01:10:21 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
Starting point is 01:11:00 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.
Starting point is 01:11:32 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.
Starting point is 01:11:46 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,
Starting point is 01:11:55 Kamala Harris. Okay? Yes, I'm going to have a conversation with the Vice President live on iHeartRadio. You know, our listeners
Starting point is 01:12:01 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
Starting point is 01:12:29 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
Starting point is 01:13:00 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.
Starting point is 01:13:18 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,
Starting point is 01:13:32 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.
Starting point is 01:13:43 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.
Starting point is 01:13:53 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.
Starting point is 01:14:08 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
Starting point is 01:14:45 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
Starting point is 01:15:30 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.
Starting point is 01:16:01 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
Starting point is 01:16:38 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?
Starting point is 01:16:58 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.
Starting point is 01:17:31 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.
Starting point is 01:17:53 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.
Starting point is 01:18:06 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.
Starting point is 01:18:22 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?
Starting point is 01:19:08 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.
Starting point is 01:19:51 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.
Starting point is 01:20:16 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. My granny, again, would say tele telegraph, telephone, tell a Negro. Telegraph, telephone, tell a Negro. What you tell that Negro boy? It's every day.
Starting point is 01:20:33 It's every day. It's every day. It's every day. It's every day. It's every day. It's every day. It's every day. It's every day.
Starting point is 01:20:37 It's every day. It's every day. It's every day. It's every day. It's every day. It's every day. It's every day. It's every day.
Starting point is 01:20:38 It's every day. It's every day. It's every day. It's every day. It's every day. It's every day. It's every day. It's every day.
Starting point is 01:20:39 It's every day. It's every day. It's every day. It's every day. It's every day. It's every day. It's every day. It's every day.
Starting point is 01:20:40 It's every day. It's every day. It's every day. It's every day. It's every day. It's every day. It's every day. It's every day.
Starting point is 01:20:42 It's every day. It's every day. It's every day. It's every day. It's every day. It's every day. It's every day. It's every day.
Starting point is 01:20:42 It's every day. It's every day. It's every day. It's every day. It's every day. 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?
Starting point is 01:20:48 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,
Starting point is 01:20:57 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.
Starting point is 01:21:04 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.
Starting point is 01:21:29 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,
Starting point is 01:21:39 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.
Starting point is 01:22:08 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
Starting point is 01:22:38 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
Starting point is 01:23:21 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,
Starting point is 01:24:13 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.

First of all, I don't even know what you're talking about. That was mad whack.
Starting point is 01:26:11 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.
Starting point is 01:26:26 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.
Starting point is 01:26:34 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.

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.
Starting point is 01:27:07 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.
Starting point is 01:27:18 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
Starting point is 01:27:29 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.
Starting point is 01:27:38 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
Starting point is 01:27:53 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.
Starting point is 01:28:17 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.
Starting point is 01:28:26 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.
Starting point is 01:28:35 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.
Starting point is 01:28:51 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?
Starting point is 01:29:06 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.
Starting point is 01:29:16 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?
Starting point is 01:29:46 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.
Starting point is 01:30:02 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
Starting point is 01:30:29 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
Starting point is 01:30:35 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
Starting point is 01:30:42 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,
Starting point is 01:30:52 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.
