Starting point is 00:07:20 into it. Morning, morning. Happy Thursday, y'all. Day three of the DNC. Yeah, it's in the books. And Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, he accepted the party's vice presidential nomination on Wednesday. He thanked Vice President Kamala Harris for making him a part of the journey and called the opportunity the honor of his life. Let's hear more from Walz at the DNC. Thank you, first of all, to Vice President Harris. Thanks for putting your trust in me and for inviting me to be part of this incredible campaign.
Starting point is 00:07:49 We're all here tonight for one beautiful, simple reason. We love this country. I know guns. I'm a veteran. I'm a hunter. And I was a better shot than most Republicans in Congress, and I got the trophies to prove it. So I don't know about you. I'm ready to turn the page on these guys. So go ahead. Say it with me. We're not going back. That's what the crowd was chanting last night. The 60-year-old Minnesota governor said he's proud to have protected abortion rights in his state. He and his wife also endured an IVF journey.
Starting point is 00:08:31 He also talked about gun control, adding, Our first responsibility is to keep our kids safe. He said if Donald Trump wins, Medicare will be in jeopardy and abortion rights will be stripped away. Meanwhile, former President Bill Clinton, he also took the stage at the DNC on Wednesday night, applauding President Biden for giving up political power and exiting the 2024 race. Now, Clinton said Vice President Kamala Harris has a lot of experience serving people.
Starting point is 00:08:56 And without saying names, he accused President, the former President Trump, of only caring about himself. I'll skip that audio clip since we're running short on time. Now, Clinton, who is 78, he also joked about being younger than Trump and praised that the Harris-Walls ticket calling the pair of two leaders who spent a lifetime of getting
Starting point is 00:09:13 the job done. And Oprah Winfrey, she made a surprise appearance at the DNC last night. Winfrey said the Democrats stand together, or the Democrats, excuse me, stand together. It is possible to be conquered. She implored the crowd to stand up to bullies. She also talked about body autonomy and what freedom means to her.
Starting point is 00:09:31 Let's hear from Winfrey. We're now so fired up. We can't wait to leave here and do something. Now, there's a certain candidate that says if we just go to the polls this one time, that we'll never have to do it again. Well, you know what? You're looking at a registered independent who's proud to vote again and again and again because I'm an American and that's what Americans do. Now, Winfrey, she has had a long standing of supporting Democratic candidates despite being an independent. Now, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, he also took the stage, along with former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries,
Starting point is 00:10:13 Maryland Governor, my governor, Wes Moore, Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro. And the night also saw performances by Stevie Wonder, John Legend and Sheila E. and poet Amanda Gorman. Now today is the last day of the convention and Vice President Kamala Harris is expected to accept the party's nomination for president. I must say, like most things, the DNC is better on TV because I like to actually watch stuff. Like I didn't get to see one speech last night and was actually upset about it. I was wondering because you guys
Starting point is 00:10:46 were still broadcasting. I had to switch over to CNN to actually watch it. Yeah, I wanted to see what... Wes Moore spoke last night too, right? Am I tripping? That's what she said, yep. Yeah, no, he did.

Starting point is 00:17:42 Yes, we do. We're going to get into some more DNC. I know Morgan hit it at the top, but Kenan Thompson, he brought SNL to the stage. All right. We'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:17:56 Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Lauren LaRosa is filling in for Jess Harris, who's on maternity leave. Now let's get to Jess with the mess with Lauren LaRosa. The news is real, brother. Lauren's Jessica Robin Moore. Jess don't do no lying.
Starting point is 00:18:12 Jess don't do no lying. She don't spare nobody. Worldwide Jess. Worldwide mess. On The Breakfast Club. She's the coach of shoes. With Lauren LaRosa. I'm back.
Starting point is 00:18:26 And I got the message. Talk to me. So last night at the DNC, tons of names were there. Of course, Morgan mentioned this morning, Oprah made a surprise pop-up. Stevie Wonder, who was urging people to vote and remember the time that we're in,
Starting point is 00:18:41 where we are, what we were doing at this very moment. John Legend and Chile, he performed Amanda Gorman, delivered an amazing poem. But John Legend got some pushback. He performed a tribute to Prince. Let's take a listen.
Starting point is 00:18:56 What? This is Project 2025. The Republicans are going live again. We're moving in. Take a look around. These guys Republican. That wasn't no damn Prince. That was more like court justice. There was a lot of pumpkin spice in that performance. Amy, why you say what when I said John Legend performed the tribute to Prince?
Starting point is 00:19:35 Why was that your first response? I was just curious. I know Tim Walz is from Minnesota. That was the reason why he did it? That's why they did the tribute to Prince. Yes, it's because Tim Walz is from Minnesota. But people were confused why John Legend was picked to do the tribute. I mean, John Legend is talented, but people were like, bro, his range is not Prince's range.
Starting point is 00:19:53 So there was... Yeah, John got a certain like sound, a certain... Yeah. It's like a certain thing with John Legend that don't say Prince in no way, shape or form. But who can reach Prince's level and Prince's sound? Like who else could there be to do that? I don't say Prince in no way shape or form. But who can reach Prince's level and Prince's sound? Who else could there be to do that? I don't know. Nobody, but Miguel would be closer to me. Nobody.
Starting point is 00:20:12 That's the answer. But Miguel. I feel like John Legend is the MC Light of like democratic and political stuff and like private events. MC Light is like the voice. She's always booked.
Starting point is 00:20:26 You know you're going to hear MC Lyte during the war show season, the BETA war show season. With John Legend, when it comes to political events and big private events,
Starting point is 00:20:35 he's always going to be booked. You're going to always hear Everyday Preeple. So I think they just, he was in there by default, honestly. But also, is people from Prince's team
Starting point is 00:20:42 still alive, right? Like there's people that could go out there and actually perform, that performed that record with him, that could still go perform that record, right? Yeah, they still need to face, though. Yeah. Not really. They want the name for DNC. It would be crazy to say Shelly E., Marco, and so-and-so.
Starting point is 00:20:59 Why would that be crazy? Shelly E. is a legend? Shelly E. is a legend, yeah. Exactly. That wouldn't be crazy at all. Well, speaking of names, uh,
Starting point is 00:21:09 Kenan. So, they did like a, kind of like a spoof on like SNL when, uh, Kamala Harris and Tim Walls
Starting point is 00:21:16 were first like announced. First, when Kamala Harris was announced. They're like, yo, Maya Rudolph, get ready.
Starting point is 00:21:21 And then when she brought Tim Walls on, they were saying Steve Martin, um, should actually be the person that like recreates Tim Walls. And basically everybody was excited for what SNL was going to do this season because Kamala had been giving us the moment.
Starting point is 00:21:33 It was very smart of them to bring Kenan Thompson on the stage last night. Let's take a listen. This is Project 2025, the Republican blueprint for a second Trump term. It is a real document that you can read for yourself at KamalaHarris.com forward slash Project 2025. You ever seen a document that could kill a small animal and democracy at the same time?
Starting point is 00:21:58 Here it is. You know how when you download an app and there are hundreds of pages there that you don't read, it's just the terms and conditions and you just click agree well these are the terms and conditions of a second trump presidency you vote for him you vote for all of this now becky you're married correct i am me and my wife have been together for about eight years oh that's amazing very very cute but i have got some bad news for you on page 584 project 2025 calls for the elimination of protections for lgbtq plus americans so you know that that's true like there's you know probably 2025 talks about how there's gonna be no stud love and they're gonna ban uh any vibrator any vibrator with more than two or
Starting point is 00:22:45 three speeds they banning does that actually end the policy y'all need to read project 2025 studs i'm telling you honestly i think what they were trying to do is just bring more attention to it because a lot of people kind of they know about it but they're not really getting into what project 2025 is and the fact that although trump is trying to distance himself now people that were formerly working for his campaign or who were a part of the think tank to put this together if they put the vibrator thing in there people probably would pay attention but I don't that's not in there
Starting point is 00:23:11 not even I don't I know that that's not in there no that's not in there no that is Charlamagne's like they are banning stud love that's what they're getting to but like you know what I mean you know how he's taught you gotta read through the lines salute to Kenan though it takes nuts to do that because you know a lot of celebrities don't like to get involved as a kid i really do remember having these dreams and
Starting point is 00:23:34 visions but you just don't know what is gonna come for you alicia keys opens up about conquering doubt learning to trust herself and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself.
Starting point is 00:24:12 It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best. And you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Starting point is 00:24:32 Hey, everyone. This is Courtney Thorne-Smith, Laura Layton, and Daphne Zuniga. On July 8th, 1992, apartment buildings with pools were never quite the same as Melrose Place was introduced to the world. It took drama and mayhem to an entirely new level. We are going to be reliving every hookup,
Starting point is 00:24:53 every scandal, every backstab, blackmail and explosion, and every single wig removal together. Secrets are revealed as we rewatch every moment with you.

So listen to Still the Place on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts. On Thanksgiving Day, 1999, a five-year-old boy floated alone in the ocean. He had lost his mother trying to reach Florida from Cuba.
Starting point is 00:25:43 He looked like a little angel. I mean, he looked so fresh. And his name, Elian Gonzalez, will make headlines everywhere. Elian Gonzalez. Elian. Elian. Elian. Elian. Elian Gonzalez. At the heart of the story is a young boy and the question of who he belongs with. His father in Cuba. Mr. Gonzalez wanted to go, and he wanted to take his son with him. Or his relatives in Miami. Imagine that your mother died trying to get you to freedom. At the heart of it all is still this painful family separation. Something that as a Cuban, I know all too well.
Starting point is 00:26:31 Listen to Chess Peace, the Elian González story, as part of the My Cultura podcast network, available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

I am one of the hosts of Crooks Everywhere, a podcast that unhurts the plot to murder a one-woman Wikileaks. Daphne exposed the culture of crime and corruption that were turning her beloved country into a mafia state. And she paid the ultimate price.

Listen to Haunting on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And politics, because they don't want to turn off any of their audience, because I'm sure liberals and Republicans both watch SNL.
Starting point is 00:28:29 Liberals and Republicans both support Kenan. And people be taking their parties way too seriously. So, you know, it takes nuts for Kenan to go out there, because most people don't want to do that, because they don't want to turn off any audience. Right. Right. And I don't honestly remember Kenan ever, like,

Starting point is 00:30:35 He did. He almost did it at first, okay? He did. We were all in this together and then he just had to be divisive. You supposed to be... I got too much nigga in me to ever do anything drink-like.
Starting point is 00:30:44 Well, thank you charlotte thank you lauren la rosa that was jesse with the mess with lauren la rosa now when we come back we got front page news and then ice where viso detroit's own will be joining us all right it's the breakfast club good morning morning everybody it's dj nv jess hilarious charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club now lauren la rosa's filling in for jess and let's get in some front page news what's's up, Morgan? Hey, y'all. Hey. So former President Trump, of course, he's responding to the Obama speeches at the Democratic National Convention on Tuesday night. Let's hear more from President Trump.
Starting point is 00:31:16 Thank you very much. As always, you are special, special people, great women. They love our country. We defeated ISIS. We killed the world's top terrorists. We secured our borders. We achieved energy independence. We stood up to China. We protected Israel. We made peace in the Middle East with the Abraham Accords and more, more, more. We did things like nobody ever heard of. Yes. So yesterday at a rally in New York, Trump said, you know, they always say, sir, please stick to policy. Don't get personal. And yet they're getting personal. Former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama, of course, repeatedly took jabs at Trump during their keynote speeches at the DNC.
Starting point is 00:31:55 Obama brought up what he described as Trump's weird obsession with crowd sizes. Meanwhile, Michelle Obama questioned who's going to tell him that the office he's seeking might be one of those black jobs. Of course, we saw those both of those clips going viral. Meanwhile, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will reportedly drop out of the 2024 race and support former President Trump. He says he will address the American people on Friday about the present historical moment and his path forward. The independent candidate has failed to gain traction in his campaign and is struggling to get on the ballot. This also comes as Beyonce is reportedly threatening
Starting point is 00:32:30 the Trump campaign with a cease and desist order. Rolling Stone reports that the threat of the Superstars team came after from the White House. She entered the race. Trump so much has not. He has been issued a number of cease and desist orders from musicians for using their songs during his campaign including Ozzy Osbourne, Celine Dion and the estate of Isaac Hayes, to name a few.
Starting point is 00:32:51 Also, you have to switch that law. You think it should be fair and balanced that everybody should be able to use music like that? No, I think that when you use somebody's music unauthorized, it should be an automatic fine because I don't think people are scared of cease and desist. And, you know, once you once you once you already air the commercial i mean you kind of already get your win anyway yeah right by the time it gets to court and all that stuff passed the letter it's like the damage is already done yeah that's right that's right there yeah i mean that's what that's insightful um so yesterday also during the dnc um in a bin exclusive black information network exclusives i spoke with saint. Paul, Minnesota Mayor Melvin Carter.
Starting point is 00:33:27 Now, he is the first black mayor of his city. We're not as far as we think we are. We're not as far ahead as we think we are. But he spoke to me about representation, how his reparations initiative intersects with economic development. And shout out to 102.5 in the Twin Cities. Let's hear more from Mayor Carter. We have a community called Old Rondo that was a historic thriving African-American community that was uprooted to build a freeway like many communities around our country do.
Starting point is 00:33:52 We've launched a fund to provide up to $110,000 in fully forgivable financing to help descendants of Old Rondo purchase or renovate a home. We've eliminated late fines in our libraries, eliminated participation fees for youth sports. And so we're doing all of this to just say that our work around economic development, historically people say like economic development is building a building or recruiting a company. Those things are important.
Starting point is 00:34:16 Our first job around economic development is making sure our residents have the capacity to feed their children, to pay the rent, and to build a better future for our next generation. And so that's the work that we're trying to launch ourselves into. Yeah, I met quite a few black men last night at the DNC. Towns I never even heard of, like my man Michael Owens from Mableton, Georgia. He said it's right by Atlanta.
Starting point is 00:34:40 Salute to Mayor Michael Owens. That is not Atlanta. No, I'm just kidding. But speaking of diversity, MIT says it's in. Speaking of diversity and unrelated to the DNC, MIT says its incoming freshman class is less diverse because of last year's Supreme Court decision to reject affirmative action. The Massachusetts school said about 16 percent of the class of 2028 are black, Hispanic, Native American and Pacific Islander. You see how they roped everybody into that 16 now that's down from about 25 in recent years it's the first incoming class since the court ruled race-based admissions violate the constitution's equal protection clause that's absolutely crazy and before i go let me just shout out bossip for including me
Starting point is 00:35:22 in the baddies of radio lineup i I just want to put that out there. You know what I'm saying? So, yeah, I appreciate y'all. Bossip had the baddies of radio?

Starting point is 00:36:40 You rich over there, man. He doing that. He trolling right now. Because he know he can buy this shit 50 times off. though that's a beautiful chain we hear people from detroit talk about the miles but what does that mean to you like when you say six mile and you go get it on the chain like that like what does that mean six six miles is my hood like uh like high in new york y'all got like 145th and all that type right so ours just run by the mile. It's literally a mile long with a radius for the hood,
Starting point is 00:37:07 but it run east to west. You know what I'm saying? So it's my hood. Like M, he claim eight mile. But M from the six too. He from six mile? He grew up on Bradford. He grew up on Bradford and Dresden.
Starting point is 00:37:19 Yeah, he grew up on Dresden. Did he move over there to eight mile or did his grandmama live on eight mile? I believe he moved over there eventually. I think his home went to Osborne. That's the high school I went to. That's on 7 Mile. I seem like Detroit artists are not beefing as much. And I love to see it in the city. I'm seeing
Starting point is 00:37:34 more and more artists out together. So what does that mean for the city? So this is how it really is, right? We be having our little disputes and shit. You know, certain people don't rock with certain people. That's just how it go. But we take pride in not bringing it to the internet and not letting the rest of the world know that because it ain't the rest of the world business we try to figure out how can we diffuse the situation or how can we control the situation and hash it out if it's possible to hash out if
Starting point is 00:38:00 it ain't possible to hash out then it's like y'all just go your own way as much as possible when we out of town don't speak to each other y'all in the same club y'all ain't gotta holler but don't we ain't gonna embarrass our you know i mean we're gonna move like we we respect ourselves you know we on a mission this is the first time we ever was able to get in any type of position pause like you know what i'm saying like the very first time so we can't we can't mess this opportunity up for nothing in the world and i feel like don't nobody want to be that guy you know i mean nobody want to be that guy that the start we got going on so i don't i it's not the rest of the world business what we got going on but it's definitely like that ain't no city perfect i mean yeah you can't mess the position up your love for the city and where you're from
Starting point is 00:38:44 is that what made you be open to like i know you had the words for eminem and y'all met up at the 50 cent tour and that kind of changed is that what made you be open to stuff like that to kind of show that publicly as well yeah you know i ain't never wanted to like speak against him publicly ever but i just couldn't contain my my thoughts and how i felt i feel like I do so much for my city. I do so much for the community that I grew up in, that he grew up in, that a lot of people grew up in. And that support don't be there
Starting point is 00:39:11 from certain artists, especially people like M. Holmes is a mega star. You know what I'm saying? Biggest rapper ever if you really want to be talking about him. Yeah, like in real life. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:39:23 And I know what them kids get out of seeing me and Peezy, seeing me and Doug and Sada and Skiller. I know what they get out of seeing us, being able to talk to them, being able to, you know, whatever the case may be. I know the type of motivation that come from that. And I just felt like
Starting point is 00:39:38 damn, I feel like I wish Holmes would have did that with us, you know? And I don't want to say he ain't, that's why I ain't never been a guy that be like, yeah, M ain't did that with us, you know. And I don't want to say he ain't. That's why I ain't never been a guy that be like, yeah, M ain't did nothing. Try to put nobody on from the city. For one, he don't owe nobody nothing. Absolutely nothing at all.
Starting point is 00:39:54 And respectfully, he did do what he needed to do. He did that for his era. You know, when M was our age, he brought. If it wasn't for M, then it wouldn't be no proof. It wouldn't be a D12. It wouldn't be a Royce 5 It wouldn't be a Royce 59. So the proof is there. He did what he had to do.
Starting point is 00:40:08 But, you know, we just admire everything about him so much. And he inspired us so much. I think we would appreciate it more if we could have met him early on and got some knowledge, got some game, got some type of insight. You know, I don't understand how I met and locked in with 50 Cent who was from Queens I met Eminem you know I mean what did you think about skill of baby comments when he said most I guess he said most people I don't know if he said most
Starting point is 00:40:35 people from Detroit most people from his generation in Detroit wouldn't consider Eminem the GOAT and when I heard it I understood he was a younger that's that's that's true yeah that's just how it is i know that why should that be a problem man consider them they were young as they ain't they ain't listening to that you know what i mean they listen to to most street artists in detroit that ain't that ain't that just ain't the way it wasn't a way when i was when i was like super young and all that we was listening to the street lords and the cheddar boys and may west and elijah boys like we always like street artists and street boys like we always like street
Starting point is 00:41:05 artists and street music like we wouldn't we wouldn't rock into that that just ain't it m got a fan base you know he got his fan base he got people that like that kind of music and the music that he make it's a way bigger audience to it so if i was him i wouldn't even care if a certain audience audience don't listen to me anyway because i got a way bigger audience. But it was true what Skillaz said. I don't know. He got some flack for that too, didn't he? Oh, yeah, he did. I don't understand that.
Starting point is 00:41:30 It was just true. That's what it is. Well, if you're not from Detroit, you probably don't understand. I can totally understand being a young dude from the street in Detroit. I'm not riding around in Slim Shady. Put it like this, right?
Starting point is 00:41:40 That's not a diss. Is the youngest in New York listening to Jay-Z? Probably not. Probably not. No. Same scenario. It not probably not no same scenario some songs i'm sure but you know but i doubt that to be honest with you yeah i mean they had an argument all the time with the future jay-z conversation with futures like i'm in the streets he's not like i'm like people gonna play future generations i get it it's a it's a generational gap you know yeah it good. Them young as any trait don't really understand Jay-Z. They don't get it. They don't care about that music either.
Starting point is 00:42:09 Well, congratulations on your record. Just recently went gold. Yeah, I appreciate that, bro. Up the scope. First gold on an independent side. You heard? How does that feel? You so independent.
Starting point is 00:42:18 They look like a chain. That's what that money look like. We had that before, the chain. How did that feel to go gold independent? It's a lot different because you're spending your own money no for sure you know obviously going go to platinum it's a trophy you know i mean that's what we want that's what we grind for but to get it independent it definitely it just restarted that fire up you know i'm saying re-motivated me keep me energized brother like i i really appreciate that you know that's something i i always wanted i wanted to go
Starting point is 00:42:44 i wanted to get that for us going go to platinum it's like winning a chip in the nba you know i'm saying or winning a super bowl so yeah it made me definitely want to stay independent though does the money really look that much different money good yeah yeah i'll be saving my money up though i don't know oh yeah you've been investing back into detroit yeah i own a juice bar in troy michigan i got it with my wife it was something that she uh believed in it was her vision something she had a real passion for dope i didn't understand it at first but i had to do it because she sat with me while i chased my dream she gave me money and let me her cars up and all that so i had to rock with her and she made me a believer because that business is a wonderful business.
Starting point is 00:43:26 That's true. You know, we in Troy, Michigan. You been taking care of yourself? Can you say the juice parts were physically, mentally you been taking care of yourself? Yeah, for the most part,
Starting point is 00:43:35 I try to. My kids keep me grounded. You know, we are humans. We go through shit. We deal with mental shit and all that. But, you know,
Starting point is 00:43:43 I stay ten toes down. I keep my chin up. Everybody deal with shit. You know yeah i pray a lot so i think that helped me you know i mean all right we got more ice where vessel when we come back don't move it's the breakfast club good morning morning everybody we are the breakfast club we're still kicking it with ice where vessel lauren's filling in for jess are you been very vocal about politics especially since the dnC is in town. Do you wish you did that? Do you wish you just said, you know, I should have just shut my ass up.
Starting point is 00:44:09 You don't care. No, I don't. I don't care. The problem is, right. Why did everybody think you was endorsing Trump, though? Because he took the picture. Because I took a picture. Okay.
Starting point is 00:44:17 And that's where I was getting at, right. We got to do better with making assumptions. You know, we got to get we got to get better just overall. Right. I posted a picture. I did not say, hey, I'm supporting Donald Trump for president. I believe in his brother. I think he can save me. I didn't say none of that. I posted a picture and said, yeah, I feel the first way to change is being able to have a conversation. And everybody took that as as I supported Trump. Somebodym me going crazy cussing me out i say all right i'll give you a hundred thousand dollars if you can tell me what this conference what was
Starting point is 00:44:50 said in this conversation how i'm gonna tell you wasn't a conversation just a picture exactly sister so why would you go that far like this this is a picture don't draw conclusions have a conversation with me ask me hey vezzo i don't i don't like that you took a picture with trump but what went on why did you take this picture what was the end game for this you know so that's the first thing i did when i saw the picture i i hit up chanel yeah you know i don't care whether you take the picture or not i just want to know what if you are supporting and what you weren't i just wanted to know what what was the allure that's all yeah i believe in and letting everybody talk you know if i go to a supermarket and they having like a farmer's market situation and everybody got a pitch for their product, I want to hear every single pitch. I agree.
Starting point is 00:45:33 You cannot just hear one side of anything and run with that and make a decision based off of one side ideas. You know, I don't believe in everything. I don't like the way the democrats are i don't not them individually but more so as a whole the party yeah as a party i don't i don't like it i don't like the pandering i feel like it's extremely disrespectful i think they uh intellectually manipulate us with strong words like like racism stuff like that i just want to be told the truth i want to deal with people to whereas what you see is what you get you know i want to know who you are on and off camera so what was the conversation like what did y'all speak about if you don't actually
Starting point is 00:46:15 didn't have a chance to speak about much at all it didn't it didn't go the way i thought it would go you know but we did have a small conversation i asked him I just straight up asked do you have a problem with with black people he said no I would I would have a problem with black people I said well it come off that way you know he said something that I that I also believe in as well well you shouldn't listen to people just continue to do your own research you know and we can have a conversation later conversation didn't come do I think Trump is racist i don't know how would i know how do any of us know if the man is racist i don't want to go off of what somebody is telling me you know because every time i was told anyone said something or done something and i went and did the research myself it was taken out of context
Starting point is 00:47:00 or it wasn't that you know i mean so yeah but didn't uh didn't he reach out to y'all yeah and rfk prior to that rfk reached out to y'all yeah absolutely and you met with rfk yeah and y'all took a picture together and i wanted to meet with biden as well but they wouldn't take the meeting from what i heard yeah they wouldn't take the meeting yeah so i can't control who want to come to the hood you know i respect that part yeah they went to the n-double-a-c-p i believe in the country if you care about us, care enough to come and talk to us. You cannot have a problem with something I do, but you don't have nothing to replace
Starting point is 00:47:31 those actions or that decision. If I'm buying, it's like, we don't like that he go into the hood and talk to these guys. Let me go to the hood and talk to these guys. Come show up. Come say something different. Tell us who you are. You're parented to us in every other way so come speak to us intellectually have a real conversation with us did you at all feel slighted when the conversation you said it as a kid i
Starting point is 00:47:54 really do remember having these dreams and visions but you just don't know what is going to come for you alicia keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself, and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love.
Starting point is 00:48:34 I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best. And you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing.

On Thanksgiving Day, 1999, a five-year-old boy floated alone in the ocean. He had lost his mother trying to reach Florida from Cuba. He looked like a little angel. I mean, he looked so fresh. And his name, Elian Gonzalez, will make headlines everywhere. Elian Gonzalez. Elian Gonzalez. Elian.
Starting point is 00:50:14 Elian. Elian Gonzalez. At the heart of the story is a young boy and the question of who he belongs with. His father in Cuba. Mr. Gonzalez wanted to go home and he wanted to take his son with him. Or his relatives in Miami. Imagine that your mother died trying to get you to freedom. At the heart of it all is still this painful family separation.
Starting point is 00:50:38 Something that as a Cuban, I know all too well. Listen to Chess Peace, the Elian Gonzalez story, as part of the My Cultura podcast network, available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Listen to Crooks everywhere on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey there, my little creeps. It's your favorite ghost host, Teresa.
Starting point is 00:51:50 And guess what? Haunting is back, dropping just in time for spooky season. Now I know you've probably been wandering the mortal plane, wondering when I'd be back to fill your ears with deliciously unsettling stories. Well, wonder no more, because we've got a ghoulishly good lineup ready for you. Let's just say things get a bit extra. We're talking spirits, demons, and the kind of supernatural chaos that'll make your spooky season complete.
Starting point is 00:52:16 You know how much I love this time of year. It's the one time I'm actually on trend. So grab your pumpkin spice, dust off that Ouija board, just don't call me unless it's urgent, and tune in for new episodes every week. We'll be right back. listen to haunting on the iHeartRadio app apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcast go the way you thought it would like what does that mean and did you feel slighted by that no I didn't feel slighted I didn't I just didn't care it didn't matter to me when I say it didn't go the way I thought it would it wasn't a communication thing it was just fast it just went real fast it was fast movement you know so that's all that was basically I just appreciate that Holmes came to the trenches and that he talked to us you
Starting point is 00:53:08 know I didn't get nothing out of it but he talked to us and Michigan is a big battleground state I don't think no more I think right now it seemed like Michigan leaning more towards the left I don't know Camilla in it but prior to Camilla right soon as Vice President Kamala joined the race I feel that Michigan started leaning more towards the left you know Michigan always been a battleground state prior to her
Starting point is 00:53:34 running it was a done deal so it was Trump was going to win that joint now she got it and it's the opposite so since all of the fallout from the photo and all that stuff you mentioned that things kind of changed in michigan biden stepped down kamala stepped up how do you feel now about the democrats has that changed for you are you still trying to i still feel the same
Starting point is 00:53:54 about democrats but again like it's more so individual obviously kamala she a black woman i'm one of those guys where it's like you know i gotta ride with you right or wrong you know i mean i don't believe i heard anything from her as far as any policies and all that but when biden was running i was willing to accept whatever flaws trump had to not have biden as our president and i feel the same about kamala i'm willing to rock with her right or wrong you know and whatever whatever she is or whatever she ain't i'm gonna find out after she elect so you all gonna vote i gotta vote got you got absolutely gotta vote you know you won't vote yet i don't
Starting point is 00:54:35 want to say this the wrong way right because i speak up against this you know i mean just being voting blindly and being a fool thinking i like thinking intellectually i don't like thinking emotionally and i feel like we as black people we we think emotionally we try to find a candidate in every area someone that we got an emotional connection with and i feel like a president's position is bigger than having an emotional connection we You're not supposed to fall in love with him. We don't need to fall in love with him. The president of the United States, the president of America is the boss. You don't have to love your boss.
Starting point is 00:55:12 I had a few jobs in my life. I don't think I ever liked any of my bosses, but it wasn't about that. I didn't need to like them. I'm big on policies. I'm big on telling the truth and keeping it in the honey. But again, I'm one of them guys that I ride right or wrong. I want our vote to be respected. And I think the only way our vote will be respected is if we all figure out how to vote the same way.
Starting point is 00:55:36 Because if we show some type of pattern in the way we vote, then I don't think we have to worry about the pandering as much. Meaning, you know, if we all over the place with who we vote for, then our vote's still not going to be respected. But if they can see us all vote for one person, then it's like, all right, they coming together somehow, some way. Right. All right, we got more with Icewear Vessel when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:55:58 Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Lauren London's holding it down for Jess. And we're still kicking it with Iceware Vezo. Now, you said you're big on policy. What policies are near and dear to your heart? The biggest thing that you want to see out of any candidate. Like, what's near and dear?
Starting point is 00:56:15 Like, this is what I'm more focused on. I would say our border. I don't think it's near and dear to my heart, but I think the border is important. I would like to see our border back. Well, I care about everybody. From what I know, it hasn't personally affected Michigan at all. To be honest with you,
Starting point is 00:56:32 nothing that any of the candidates do, I don't think it would affect me, you, you, Envy. I don't think it would affect none of us. But we can't only just think for ourselves. We got to try to think for everybody. I think if we're voting for which we are, we're think for ourselves we got to try to think for everybody i think if we're voting for which we are we vote for kamala right i don't think we should parent her to each other i think we should keep it 100 and say listen i don't know all the facts i don't know what she
Starting point is 00:56:55 gonna do i don't know what she has done but we just gonna do it you know just say that but don't all right if you look at this right this is this and she actually didn't do this she it was this way like don't lie to me don't try to convince me don't parent it to me don't take advantage of me If you look at this, right, this is this. And she actually didn't do this. It was this way. Like, don't lie to me. Don't try to convince me. Don't parent it to me. Don't take advantage of me mentally. Just tell the truth.
Starting point is 00:57:11 I don't know. But I'm voting for her because she black. If y'all want me to vote for her because she black, just say it. I'm not voting for her. I'm doing it. I'm definitely not voting for her because she black. I'm voting for her because I like her message of rebuilding the middle class. I like her message of, you know, saying I like her message of saying I feel like everybody
Starting point is 00:57:26 should have the opportunity to own a small business, have the opportunity to own a home, putting more money back in the working class people's pockets. That's why I'm supporting her. Yeah. And I like her stance on mental health, and I like that she's been a leader in maternal health. I'm way past voting for people because they're black.
Starting point is 00:57:42 Just because they're black. Because all skin folks So do you think we deserve to be able to ask questions? Not only should you ask questions, they should pull up to the trenches and have these conversations. Because we got to learn how to agree to disagree. That's right. We got to learn how to provide different ideas and different mindsets. If we all did the exact same thing, we ate the same, dressed same look the same thought the same had the same children wives and husbands like what would the world be then you know i think that's what create
Starting point is 00:58:10 a great company a guy that got a fortune 500 company he went and hired different people with different ideas that could bring different things to the table but i do got some questions right and i feel like you like mad educated what was her position as vice president what have she done oh a lot of things i mean a thousand days over a thousand days she was a leader in uh maternal health you know when it comes to mental health she gave 285 million dollars to mental health they increased the number of mental health professionals in school where is the mental health professionals at where they at yeah because well i know i know how are we getting access to them like you know i brought got so many little homies in this in the city just in my hood alone
Starting point is 00:58:50 that don't have access to nothing no type of mental health to free anything they don't have no access to that you know we pulling up to the trenches we we we talking to them you know what i'm saying i feel like that about the representative i feel like that about the representative of my neighborhood i do a picnic every single year me and my big homie dink dawson it's called the six nick we give away clothes shoes we got free everything just a whole day of fun i've literally not only that right of course we do the book bag stuff we do uh the thanksgiving we do full-blown mental health events and all this. I have absolutely never seen the person. I don't even know this guy's name.
Starting point is 00:59:31 The local representative? I've never seen them, and I feel like I'm being taken advantage of. I feel like I'm doing a job and somebody else is getting paid for it. I feel like I'm doing this brother a job, but he receiving the finances for this. I've never seen him you know and if somebody was to challenge him and say what have you done i'm sure he got a long list of big words that he can say well we did the developing uh characteristics we did the money every every three months you get six thousand when you buy the first home you get two percent off the
Starting point is 01:00:02 three percent with the five percent don't equal he's gonna have a list of things and a bunch of big words but it's still not answering the question and i'm when i say answer the question answering the question with actions you know not just not just big words and paragraphs so i'm voting for her because she black i'm saying no i am but i'm giving you i'm giving you some reasons though like a cap in the insulin at 35 that's something that directly impacts people that we know in the hood. But, all right, I probably know one person that got diabetes. So, like, when I ask these questions I'm asking, I'm in the trenches. They need help.
Starting point is 01:00:39 A lot of their grandmothers and parents that you're speaking to, I'm sure a lot of them got diabetes. No, for sure. They probably do. And I think capping insulin at $35 is important. But realistically, right, me being able to buy extra egg or two, you know, when I was a child, I don't think that ever benefited my mind to be able to buy extra two eggs to get another carton of milk. Like, I feel like that's planned. That's like peasant.
Starting point is 01:01:04 It's like bigger everyday issues that you got to get through before you can even go to the grocery store to get the egg, I feel like that's planned. That's like... It's like bigger everyday issues that you got to get through before you can even go to the grocery store to get the egg. I get what you're saying. Before you even get to the grocery store. $35 cap on insulin helps a lot. It does help a lot.
Starting point is 01:01:15 No, no, no, no. I think it... I'm not saying it don't help, right? And even what you said, I understand what you're saying too, Bezo, about seeing things in your own, you know, backyard. When I hear her talk about
Starting point is 01:01:23 what she wants to do with the economy, what wants to do in regards you know the mental health rebuilding the middle class i've seen her do those things but they're quiet because she's vice president quite they quite a real quiet and i'm just going off her actions and what i what i see what actually benefit nothing has changed and nothing absolutely nothing has changed in the trenches for over a thousand days nothing has changed you know however many days and listen and i want people to understand this right my questions for kamala is not me defending the opposing party or her opponent my questions are for her so i feel like there's gaslighting if i ask a question about kamala and somebody say but
Starting point is 01:02:03 what have trump did i'm not talking I'm not asking about Trump if you plan I want to vote for this woman exactly so I got questions about her why why why is we bringing up Donald Trump you know I'm asking about Kamala you're gonna ask questions about the car you buying absolutely you're going to dealership I want if you plan on buying a car you're gonna ask every single question it makes sense if if I go ask about a a Mercedes and they and I'm like well why do these Mercedes tires look like that? Well, you should see the Ford tire. Why is that beneficial?
Starting point is 01:02:32 So I want us as a community to stop gaslighting each other. Stop trying to tear each other down when we got questions. If you feel I'm wrong about anything, then respectfully come with proof to educate me about something. We gotta learn how to respectfully disagree. So yeah, I'm voting for her because she black because that's what I'm supposed to do. That's what I'm told. That's what y'all want. That's what I'm doing.
Starting point is 01:02:55 Somebody take this out of context, right? I want them to do that because it's gonna fool my point. Because guess what I'm gonna do? My manager lose. But guess what I'm going to do? My manager loses. But guess what I'm going to do? We're going to post a full contact. And it's up to y'all

Starting point is 01:05:14 Talk to me. So Oprah made headlines yesterday for her guest appearance at the DNC back in Chicago. And there was a pretty interesting conversation that she had prior to that with Al Roker, where she talked about her age and reaching the age that she's at. Let's take a listen. I'm just curious. What were your thoughts about 70? I was excited to make the number. I'm excited to make every number. I remember many, many years ago as a young girl, I had always thought that I would never make it to the 60s or 70s really i had this number in my head that i thought okay i'm gonna be out by then why and then when i passed the number i don't know why i think i think i i had a vision of it when i was a kid and i think it is because under the circumstances that i was living when i was a little girl
Starting point is 01:06:02 in milwaukee on welfare with my mother and what I now know that if I had stayed in those circumstances I probably wouldn't be here you know I wouldn't be here healthy and strong and vibrant I did not realize Oprah was 70 years old I was going to say the same thing I had no clue she was 70
Starting point is 01:06:20 me either early 60's right but that's because Oprah she's still outside. She's moving. She's looking good. You know what I mean? But also, too, I thought it was pretty interesting because I think people see Oprah as the icon that she is right now and forget how much she's had to come through.
Starting point is 01:06:36 So to hear her say that, I hear my homies say that all the time. It was pretty interesting to hear a woman say that. Like the circumstances that she went through, she even thinks she would make it to be this old. And I don't mean to... Go ahead. If you know oprah's story you know the extreme she came from but i mean you know as a as a person born in 1978 you know 46 years old she she kind of been oprah our whole lives for real you know no for real so i thought that was interesting now moving on to another icon um nikki minaj so nikki minaj uh went live on stationhead and she had a few things to get off of her chest one of them you guys know she recently launched her label
Starting point is 01:07:11 um and she had something to say to artists who declined to sign to her label another tell somebody they don't really want to sign with heavy on it but then they'll go and sign with the white peoples and guess who the white peoples finna call always oh they always make sure they get a get the attention of the barbs so you would be surprised and i'm not talking about doing ad libs on any songs if their name is not on the pink friday too they're not a heavy-handed artist now that is pretty interesting because currently and for some months now there has been speculation that there is a little discourse between her and ice spice and when i say discourse i don't mean like a friendly back and forth i mean like the girls are speculating that nikki minaj does not care
Starting point is 01:07:58 for ice face whatsoever anymore she was very supportive of ice spice in the beginning she put her own song she you know crowned her the princess of hip-hop all that stuff and then things just fell apart there were early reports that ice spice was supposed to sign to nikki minaj's label when the label was first announced and then it didn't happen and ice spice signed to a major so ice spice signed a long time ago though but before i thought nikki had that label yeah but it so i'm assuming that whatever came out about ice spices deal came out around the same time that the conversations begin to happen about ice spice and nikki minaj or whatever their situation was supposed to be so people are putting two and two together and basically saying that this is her speaking
Starting point is 01:08:38 directly to that and then she says like if your name isn't on pink friday too which ice best's name is not on pink friday too, that you're not. You know what I mean? Like, basically don't ask me about these people. Outside of the I Spy speculation, though, I think she has a valid point about artists not signing to her. And, you know, people can pick and choose where they want to do their business at. But if the labels are going to pick up the phone and call Nicki Minaj about you anyway because you got a feature from her, like you've been seen around her. It's like, why not sign to a Nicki Minaj? She is Nicki Minaj at at the end of the day so you're going to get the same look so why not man nikki needs to narrate every single halloween theme show when she be on
Starting point is 01:09:14 them twitter spaces or whatever her voice be sounding so ill it was a dark and stormy night and she was creeping through the woods she just just needs to narrate every single Halloween-themed show there is, okay? But Nicki been OG at that. She got the character. She got Roman. She got all the people. They be calling her crazy, but Nicki know what she doing. She animated.
Starting point is 01:09:34 A lot of people don't want to sign with artists, though, because they feel like artists don't have the infrastructure, or they're always too busy to actually run a label. And we've seen that several times. I can feel that. But you see how successful Lil Wayne's label did. You see how successful Jay-Z's label did. But a lot of people do feel that way. I hear that.
Starting point is 01:09:53 Yeah, but how many of those labels, how many of those labels, and I'm not saying this about Nicki, I'm just saying how many of those labels were successful because of the artists. I mean, you know, salute to Lil Wayne, but Lil Wayne also had people like, you know, Cortez Bryant.
Starting point is 01:10:08 You know what I mean? Like, and a lot of times it'd be those people who are really the brains of of the operation that's what i said the infrastructure you know most most people want to make sure the artist has the infrastructure same thing with rockefeller like you said it was damon biggs that was running the day-to-day you know but a lot of it too i feel like with the artists today like the girls like a ice spice who are getting signed because they're so big on the internet and maybe you love their music a lot of people feel like the girls, like a ice spice who are getting signed because they're so big on the internet. And maybe you love their music. A lot of people feel like the labels have lost their touch of really filling the music and really understand how to strategize and not just
Starting point is 01:10:33 look at numbers. And Nicki Minaj has gotten credit a couple of times. Like I know what me remember that song that they put out together. Me, uh, what's the name of the song? Uh, where it was them to,
Starting point is 01:10:42 yeah, it was the number one record. Yep. And they, there was a conversation about how she was the one who told him, no, you need to put this out. That's going to go for the radio. She knows what she's doing all the time. So, I mean.
Starting point is 01:10:53 I mean, she's been in this game a long time. She's still putting a pitch. So, she knows what works. Yeah. So, I mean, I just, I feel her on this one. I don't always agree with Nicki, but I felt her on that one. But speaking of Ice Spice, Ice Spice is about to make a acting debut that I don't think you guys
Starting point is 01:11:08 would ever have imagined. Let's take a listen. And don't ask me about nobody. Don't ask me about nobody. We filmed that a couple months ago. Let's just say I don't really look like myself. So I'm excited to see how
Starting point is 01:11:24 that looks on camera i'm in it real quick um have a little cameo type thing but i was so nervous so were you on set with denzel yes i was and um he's he has like a very like powerful like vibe and i was just like a little intimidated but um mostly nervous and he just kept saying like don't be like like just don't be nervous like congrats like you're you're great and stuff and so he was really encouraging and sweet yeah so it's a crime thriller um it's a reinterpretation of the akira cool i'm gonna say that i messed his last name up um thriller high and low but i would have never thought i was gonna put denzel washington the Queen of Fart in the same conversation.
Starting point is 01:12:08 Ever. Like, that threw me for a loop. But shout out to her. We're not doing that. She's in a movie. She's in a movie with him. She's not in a conversation with him. Wait.
Starting point is 01:12:18 There's headlines that put Denzel Washington and Ice Spice in the same conversation. No, she's in a movie. Not in the same conversation in the movie. But I mean, when you mention the movie, the headlines are literally saying Ice Spice set to appear in Spike Lee's High and Low with Denzel Washington. She might have a pop-up role.
Starting point is 01:12:34 Y'all know what I'm saying? I would have never thought that I was going to see an Ice Spice cameo in anything that Denzel Washington is doing. And it's no shade to Ice Spice. The caliber of Denzel Washington is like, you don't just do pop-up cameos with him. She doesn't say she's acting with him like an acting role. She has a cameo.
Starting point is 01:12:51 That's what I'm saying. She could play a number of roles. I mean, think about a movie like Training Day. Think about Dr. Dre in Training Day. Think about Snoop Dogg in Training Day. I can see her playing like, you know. As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you.
Starting point is 01:13:11 Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself.
Starting point is 01:13:47 You're trying your best. And you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before.

All right. That's what I'm hearing. Hey, we ain't got no music? Charlamagne, who you giving that donkey to?
Starting point is 01:19:31 Speaking of shooting, we need a man named Antonio Riano. He's a fugitive. He was a fugitive on the run for 20 years for killing a man, but he got arrested. You'll never find out. You'll never guess how. All right. We'll get into that next. It's the Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 01:19:42 Good morning. Good morning. Don't hear the date. When you jump ass, you get donkey of the day. When you come out, you get donkey of the day. You are a donkey. It's time for donkey of the day. Donkey of the day, huh?
Starting point is 01:19:56 I'm going to fatten all that shit around your eyes. They want Charlemagne to throw them blows, man. They wait for Charlemagne to tap them gloves. Let's go. They had to make a judgment of who was going to be on the donkey of the day they chose you there's a breakfast club bitches who's donkey of the day today well and sharing donkey of the day for thursday august 22nd goes to 62 year old antonio riano now i'm telling you right now when trump and fox news hear this story they are going to
Starting point is 01:20:25 blame democrats okay this story will be used as an example as to why america needs stronger borders we have some people who are on the far right who listen to the breakfast club i met some of them last night at the dnc and i guarantee you when they hear this story they are going to scream build the wall see antonio riano killed a man 20 years ago a 25 year old man named benjamin baccaras sending healing energy love and light to the family of that human antonio uh killed him in broad daylight outside of a bar uh december december of 2004 police were called to the roundhouse bar in cincinnati and found the man shot once in the head after interviewing witnesses investigators learned the suspect was commonly
Starting point is 01:21:05 known as el diablo and they later identified him as antonio riano surveillance video also showed him lighting off the shots outside the bar so police went to search his residence but police said no one was at home but the tv was left on and whoever was there left in a hurry when police later searched el diablo's home they learned he used several fake names and had papers to create false documentation to obtain different id and prosecutors said rihanna was in the country unlawfully at the time of the shooting mind you this was 2004 so democrats and republicans can keep acting like the border uh isn't a bipartisan issue but it is and that's why it will take a bipartisan solution to fix it because the border has been a problem under every administration now i'm just giving you a timeline uh of police
Starting point is 01:21:50 trying to find antonio riano okay a teacher at the elementary school riano's daughter attended told police they overheard the child's mother say they were moving to new jersey where the family had previously lived police contacted jersey authorities but they were told by their contacts that he had just left the country. Rihanna's baby mama told police she had just fought with Rihanna the night before the shooting and had left him and that a friend drove him to Mexico. Two years after the shooting, the owner of the home Antonio was staying in, found the gun he used to kill Benjamin. And they even found out he bought ammo from a local Walmart an hour before the shooting now this is where it starts to get really good the Butler County Sheriff's Office
Starting point is 01:22:30 lifted Rihanna was a wanted fugitive and the case was even profiled on America's Most Wanted so Antonio listen to me y'all Antonio is a wanted fugitive who was profiled on America's Most Wanted but police never stopped looking for that ass okay they never stopped looking for him for 20 years and then lo and behold the rise of social media okay paul newton our new town the lead investigator was searching on social media for clues to antonio's whereabouts when he stumbled across antonio's facebook account why would a fugitive who's been on america's most wanted and been on the run for 20 years have a Facebook account? I'll tell you why.
Starting point is 01:23:07 Because money isn't the root of all evil nowadays. Attention is. But that's not the kicker. Not only did he have a Facebook account, this man, Antonio Riano, who has been on the run for 20 years, who was featured as a fugitive on America's Most Wanted, this man had a job. Would you like to know what his occupation was let's go to fox 19 now and cincy for the report please one of butler county's most wanted antonio reyno he is accused of killing someone outside of a bar in hamilton in 2004 investigators and the u.s marshals tracked
Starting point is 01:23:38 him down to mexico where he was serving as a police officer. The crime scene tape has long been taken down at the corner of East Avenue and Long Street. But in 2004, this was the spot where investigators found Benjamin Bacara dead. He was shot in the face. Surveillance cameras on the building captured the ordeal. And in the days that followed, police identified Riano as the suspect and found the murder weapon hidden inside his apartment. They say the only issue was Riano had fled the country and went into hiding.
Starting point is 01:24:11 That was 20 years ago. It's all about catching the bad guy and tracking him down because I think he thought he was home free. Once the prosecutor's office located Riano, they spent several years filing paperwork with federal authorities to get him back to Hamilton to face charges. Lord have mercy. Working as a police officer. Yes, he figured if you can't beat him, join him, but continue to run from him. Okay, he was a police officer for the past three and a half years in Mexico, which according to his lawyers shows he was not trying to hide from anyone.
Starting point is 01:24:43 And his lawyers argue he has no other criminal history. Now, if you shoot a man in the head and kill him dead, do you need any other criminal history? I believe that murder is more than enough. OK, I just don't understand how you can be a fugitive on the run for murder for 20 years and become a cop. He probably got employed a month as a cop every month because he always knew where to find the criminals. And that place he found them was called the mirror his favorite part about being a police officer was probably chasing himself to keep in shape antonio figured the best place to hide was in plain sight right under their noses he probably makes for a great cop because now he has experience
Starting point is 01:25:21 on both sides of the law who better to catch a killer than the guy who already knows how it's done the hypocrisy of this man to go hunt down criminals he probably was serving warrants and everything when he himself is running from the law i bet antonio riano never took any time off from his job because he knows the only person who could catch him was himself now antonio is in custody. He's been extradited to Cincinnati to stand trial. And it's been ordered that Rihanna be detained without bond until the conclusion of his criminal proceedings. A decision that came in response to a request from prosecutors.
Starting point is 01:25:59 Now Antonio was asked in court why he did what he did. And this is what he said. I don't know. I don't know. We looked everywhere. I don't know either. Please give Antonio Riano the biggest. He all right.
Starting point is 01:26:18 Crazy world. Sure is. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey today. Yes, ma'am, sir. Sir. Sir. is all right well thank you for that donkey today yes ma'am sir sir sir which now he acted frozen after he want to be there with his little tea he had a little pinky i'm drinking a little tea auntie all a little upset but anyway charlamagne is out at the dnc yes i am in chicago at the dnc dnc is like coachella for people who've devoted their life to politics.
Starting point is 01:26:47 I didn't know what to expect coming out here to the DNC, but it's at the United Center, right? Uh-huh. Where the Bulls play. So it's like all the concession stands are open. So they in here drinking, eating chicken fingers, french fries, having a grand old time. All right. And yesterday you got a chance to speak with a couple of people, right? Oh, shoot.
Starting point is 01:27:06 I forgot we about to do that. Yes. Because I'm out here broadcasting live, but also with the Native Land podcast. The Native Land podcast is the flagship show on Reason Choice Media with iHeart. It's Andrew Gillum, Tiffany Cross, and my good sister, Angela Rye. So we chopped it up with quite a few people yesterday. I think this morning we're going to play for you Big Gretch,
Starting point is 01:27:28 Governor Gretchen Whitmer, and Queen Maxine Waters. They popped up on us. And Senator Chuck Schumer. So we're going to get those all for you when we come back. Alright, so don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody.
Starting point is 01:27:43 It's DJ Envy, Jess Larry, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Lauren LaRosa is filling in for Jess. Now, Charlamagne is at the DNC, and yesterday he got a chance to sit down with a bunch of people. But we're going to get some of those interviews on. Let's start off with first he sat down with Maxine Waters and Gretchen Whitmore. Queen Maxine Waters. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:28:04 Love you, queen. Oh, my, yeah. Love you, Queen. Oh, my God. How are you? I'm good. I'm absolutely enthused. For the first time in a long time. Yeah. You know, as an OG, Ms. Waters,
Starting point is 01:28:17 who has seen America change so much throughout your lifetime, how does it feel as a black woman to see another black woman in a position to potentially be the next president of the United States of America? Well, you know, I really do feel that change has come about. I really do think that we're in a period of time where we're seeing America face the truth about the citizens of this country and the fact that they have been excluded and denied,
Starting point is 01:28:45 and you have competent, capable, talented women, men and women, but black women who have really been undermined consistently in this country, now rising to the position of power and influence. So I feel really good about being a black woman right now. Yes. I asked Secretary Fudge the same thing, and I want to ask you as well. How different is this moment now as opposed to 2016 with Hillary? Well, I think the fact that it's a black woman is different.
Starting point is 01:29:15 You know what I'm saying? This is something that America never dreamed really about and never thought about the possibility of. And so, yes, Hillary was a woman and had women behind her, black women, white women, women, you know, hoping that she could be president. But to have a black, capable, competent woman whose career has led us to this point, who has done everything anybody could have told her that she should have done in order to get to this point in her life, in our lives.
Starting point is 01:29:48 It's different. And it's inspiring. It's motivational. And it's like, you know, you can sit back and you can watch it and you can say, yeah, we knew that someday it might happen, but we weren't sure.
Starting point is 01:30:03 But we're going to keep on fighting for it. That's it. That's it. Congresswoman, I'm across the hall over here. How are you? I'm good. Good, good. Well, we've been joined by a woman, a guest, Big Grant.
Starting point is 01:30:15 Big Grant. Big Grant. We got Auntie Max and Big Grant. I know. I was going to say, Auntie Max and Big Grant. I love that. That should be a movie, I feel like. Right?
Starting point is 01:30:24 A superhero movie. A superhero movie. A superhero movie. And now I want to ask you, because you're about to be the chairwoman of the Financial Services Committee when we take back the House of Representatives, I'm curious to know whether or not you've got a top three that you just got to, when you get there, that you're going to be dismantling, raising up, expanding as you take leadership there. Oh, my goodness. Let me tell you, I served as chair of the Financial Services Committee until we lost the house.
Starting point is 01:30:54 And now I'm hopeful that I'll get that gavel back because once I got it back, I know what to do with it. That's right. And so top on my agenda is housing. Yes. We have a housing crisis in this country. Every night in the Los Angeles, greater Los Angeles area, there's 70,000 people on the streets. In this country, there are 753,000 people sleeping on the streets at night. We have a housing crisis in this country. And we can do better. As a matter of fact, in addition to the bills that I
Starting point is 01:31:26 have, $150 billion bill, I've had a bill for $350 billion. It was killed by Sinema and Manchin, but we now have the bill redone, $150 billion. We also have the president, Biden, who's already talking about creating new units, affordable units, and doing something I never thought I would agree to, and that is giving tax credits to the developers who are willing to build affordable units and do it in such a way that not only are they affordable, but they're safe and they're secure. So that's one of my top priorities. The second thing that we've got to do is we've got to make sure that the banks and financial institutions of this country, first of all, are paying their fair taxes. Say so. Number two, that they're not ripping us off with predatory lending. We've got to do more than we ever did with the Dodd-Frank reforms
Starting point is 01:32:22 and make sure we bring them in and we make sure that we move with diversity and inclusion and get some black people up in the C-suites so that the influence that they can have to make things right in some of our banks. We've got some gangster banks, but I'm ready to do it. I know you are. I'm ready.
Starting point is 01:32:39 I know you are. Thank you so much, Congresswoman. But we want to bring Governor Whitmer in. I want to tell you, so this is Governor Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan. Thank you so much, Governor. We're so honored to have you with us. I want to ask you, Governor, because I saw a poll today that said the Vice President had a three-point lead on Trump in Michigan. What can she do to keep that momentum going and not fumble Michigan the way Hillary Clinton did in 2016?
Starting point is 01:33:05 Well, I mean, we're on the ground in Michigan. I don't think anyone's going to. Yeah, I'll get to that. No one's going to take Michigan for granted. But, you know, doing that voter contact, it's so important. We cannot write anyone off. We can't make any assumptions that people, okay, the black community is just going to show up because it's Kamala Harris. No, we got to do the work. We got to show up We've got to earn people's support. And that is true in every community. And so that's what we're doing.
Starting point is 01:33:28 I've got a question for you and Queen Maxine. You know, we know that a lot of Republicans probably won't certify the results of the election come November. If it gets to the Supreme Court, in light of a lot of their recent rulings, I think they might overturn it if the vice president wins. How concerned are you all about that i'm very concerned that trump has been able to put in place people in several states who are in charge of the election system and that's real and some of them are going to be turning people away some are going to be finding they did not dot the i across the T, all kind of little tricks. And so we've got to be on top of this.
Starting point is 01:34:10 Not only do we have to have monitors, we have to anticipate. When we learn things are going on, we have to move very quickly to get our lawyers out there, you know, challenging, because I think this is real. That's right. Yes. I wonder, because Charlamagne brought up a point about a fumble in Michigan, and I think it speaks right to the question about how concerned are you about the infrastructure of this country and voting rights and voter suppression when it comes to November and it being a fair playing field? Well, I am concerned about it. We've got to get ready. As the Congresswoman said. Now, one thing that I want to point out that I think should give us all some hope, not false hope, but some hope, is in the most important swing states in the country.
Starting point is 01:34:51 We got Tony Evers as the governor in Wisconsin. We got Josh Shapiro in Pennsylvania. We got Katie Hobbs in Arizona. We got Roy Cooper in North Carolina and me in Michigan. We got Democrats who are going to make sure these votes are protected and counted. It's still going to be a challenge it's going to be a challenge if any of our opponents had been in the position we're in i'd be a lot more work i agree with you governor and i think the beauty of it is is that we do have you there's hopefully a felt a felt safe yeah
Starting point is 01:35:17 thank you thank you and come to mich Michigan as we get closer to this election. We welcome you in. We think we can get people turned out. We'd love to do that. All right. Thank you so much. Thank you, Governor. Thank you.
Starting point is 01:35:31 Good luck. Thank you so much for this. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Congresswoman, thank you so much. Yes, yes. We love you so much.
Starting point is 01:35:39 Give it up for Queen Maxine. I was delighted to be on. Hey, how you doing? How you doing? Thank you guys so much. Senator, so much. All right, Charlemagne is at the DNC. Yesterday, he got a chance to sit down with a bunch of people.
Starting point is 01:35:50 That was his conversation with Maxine Waters and Gretchen Whitmer. Now, when we come back, Charlemagne and the Native Land podcast got a chance to sit down with Chuck Schumer. We're going to get that on when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlemagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Lauren LaRose is everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlemagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 01:36:06 Lauren LaRose is filling in for Charlemagne. Now, Charlemagne's out at the DNC with the Native Land Podcast, and he got a chance to sit down with Chuck Schumer. Charlemagne? Yeah, I'm trying to take a breath, but it's a lot, right? Well, you have Queen Maxine Waters come up here, and then you got Big Reg come up here at the same time. It's a lot.
Starting point is 01:36:21 And then we have Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, who's joining us now. Quite a big difference from just a few weeks ago, huh? Oh, man, are we cooking. Are we cooking? I have been at every convention since 1984. None is as happy, none is as unified, and none is as committing to win as this one. We're going all the way.
Starting point is 01:36:44 That's right. It is so great, I cannot tell you. Even more than 08? More than 08 even, because you know why? We have the positive. We have Kamala. We have Walls. But you know, there's a negative.
Starting point is 01:36:56 We cannot let that son of a gun get back into office. I'm going to tell you, that president is no effing good. How's that? That's better. You know, I like that you introduced the No Kings Act after the Supreme Court presidential immunity ruling. And in light of the Supreme Court's recent rulings, how concerned are you about them potentially interfering in this election? Because you know Donald Trump is going to challenge it. Hey, you bet.
Starting point is 01:37:21 Trump has no principles. He has no morals. He will do anything he can to win no matter what corner he has to cut, no matter how many rules and laws he has to break. That's why he's going to go to jail. But because of the previous stuff he's done. That's right. And so let me just say we are vigilant.
Starting point is 01:37:38 We got the best election lawyers on the case. We are training thousands of lawyers. We are making sure on election day they don't screw around and deter people from voting. You know what they used to do? They used to tell, they used to send out African-American neighborhoods, voting day has been changed, vote Thursday. These guys won't stop at anything. That's what the Republicans used to do. But we are now prepared. We were not prepared years ago. We are. Why are more people in your position just calling out to support?
Starting point is 01:38:05 As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself, and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves.
Starting point is 01:38:28 For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay.
Starting point is 01:38:49 Like grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best and you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app,
Starting point is 01:39:02 Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, everyone. This is Courtney Thorne-Smith, Laura Layton, and Daphne Zuniga. On July 8th, 1992, apartment buildings with pools were never quite the same as Melrose Place was introduced to the world. It took drama and mayhem to an entirely new level. We are going to be reliving every hookup, every scandal, every backstab, blackmail and explosion, and every single wig removal together.
Starting point is 01:39:36 Secrets are revealed as we rewatch every moment with you. Special guests from back in the day will be dropping by. You know who they are. Sydney, Allison, and Joe are back together on Still the Place with a trip down memory lane and back to Melrose Place. So listen to Still the Place on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts. On Thanksgiving Day, 1999, a five-year-old boy floated alone in the ocean. He had lost his mother trying to reach Florida from Cuba. He looked like a little angel. I mean, he looked so fresh.
Starting point is 01:40:19 And his name, Elian Gonzalez, will make headlines everywhere. Elian Gonzalez. Elian. Elian. Elian. Elian make headlines everywhere. Elian Gonzalez. Elian. Elian. Elian. Elian. Elian. Elian Gonzalez.
Starting point is 01:40:28 At the heart of the story is a young boy and the question of who he belongs with. His father in Cuba. Mr. Gonzalez wanted to go home and he wanted to take his son with him. Or his relatives in Miami. Imagine that your mother died trying to get you to freedom. At the heart of it all is still this painful family separation. Something that as a Cuban, I know all too well. Listen to Chess Piece, the Elian Gonzalez story, as part of the My Cultura podcast network, available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Starting point is 01:41:08 Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist who, on October 16, 2017, was murdered. There are crooks everywhere you look now. The situation is desperate. My name is Manuel Delia. I am one of the hosts of Crooks Everywhere, a podcast that unhearts the plot to murder a one-woman Wikileaks. Daphne exposed the culture of crime and corruption that were turning her beloved country into a mafia state.
Starting point is 01:41:38 And she paid the ultimate price. Listen to Crooks everywhere on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey there, my little creeps. It's your favorite ghost host, Teresa. And guess what? Haunting is back,
Starting point is 01:42:04 dropping just in time for spooky season. Now I know you've probably been wandering the mortal plane, wondering when I'd be back to fill your ears with deliciously unsettling stories. Well, wonder no more, because we've got a ghoulishly good lineup ready for you. Let's just say things get a bit extra. We're talking spirits, demons,
Starting point is 01:42:24 and the kind of supernatural chaos that'll make your spooky season complete. You know how much I love this time of year. It's the one time I'm actually on trend. So grab your pumpkin spice, dust off that Ouija board. Just don't call me unless it's urgent. And tune in for new episodes every week. Remember, the veils are thin, the stories are spooky, and your favorite ghost host is back
Starting point is 01:42:48 and badder than ever. Listen to Haunting on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Supreme Court is an illegitimate institution at this point. They should, you know, the right wing, these very rich, greedy people who didn't
Starting point is 01:43:06 want to pay any taxes, who didn't want the government to do any, you know, they said, I built my company with my own hands, although half of them inherited it. And they say, how dare your government tell me how I ought to treat my workers, my customers or the land and air and water that I own.
Starting point is 01:43:22 That's what they did. And they realized, Charlemagne, that they couldn't get this done even when they controlled the elected branches of government, House, Senate, and President, because it was so far to the effing right, so far to the right. And so they tried to take over the courts. We have an obligation to try and stop them. The Supreme Court is a morass.
Starting point is 01:43:43 Now, who would have thought of this? The ethics of that court. So these rich people are paying for cars, for trips. At the same time, they're paying some law firm to go to a lawyer and make their case. That is outrageous. And I'll tell you who we should blame, among others. The Chief Justice John Roberts, who once said he's calling balls and strikes, he could stop this with the flick of his pen. Where the hell is he?
Starting point is 01:44:09 So the president has made it a stated goal to get reform on the Supreme Court. What's your prognosis for between now, lame duck, and obviously a new presidency? Lame duck will be hard because the Republicans control the House, and few right-wingers seem to run the show, and they will stop at nothing to keep the court the way it is. But if we, and please vote, vote, vote, vote, if we keep the Senate, win the House, win the presidency, Supreme Court reform is going to be at the top of our agenda
Starting point is 01:44:42 because we cannot let these unelected people take away women's rights, take away others' rights. You know, we talk about freedom. They used to talk about freedom. They don't believe in freedom. We do. But we also believe in economic freedom.
Starting point is 01:44:56 We believe you should have a good education so you can get a decent job. Freedom to be able to pick your job. We talk about freedom to be able to afford a house. You know, one of the great things Kamala just did is this. Young people, a lot of young people, have enough money to pay the monthly mortgage, but they don't have any money for the down payment. No one can save that much these days. And so what she said, what Kamala said, is very simple. $25,000, the federal government, if you're a first-time homebuyer, to help you with that down payment. People, when they hear that, particularly the younger people who we have to make sure vote, they're going to love that.
Starting point is 01:45:30 She knows what she's talking about. I knew her in the Senate. She was great. For the people out there who may not understand the severity of the power of this court and what they've done, what specifically can be done as soon as possible? Do we expand the courts? That has to go through the Senate if we do. Because at this point our democratic institutions are
Starting point is 01:45:47 corroding. As I said, the first step in getting rid of the morass on the court is to vote. Because if they keep the House, if they win the Senate or if they win the presidency, any one of the three, they will block it. They will fight for this court. But once we get it, there are a lot of proposals
Starting point is 01:46:03 out there on the table. There's expanding this court. But once we get it, there are a lot of proposals out there on the table. There's expanding the court. There's term limits. I have a proposal that's much simpler. It's limiting their jurisdiction in certain areas. You know, Justice Alito said Congress can't regulate the courts. Well, pardon me, sir, Mr. Justice. You didn't either read or understand the Constitution.
Starting point is 01:46:22 That's right. It says it explicitly in there. That's right. And so we can do that relatively easily and limit the kind of jurisdiction that they have. In the past, maybe people said they'll never get it done. Well, we saw what happened with choice. Absolutely. We heard what one of the justices, I think it was, I can't remember which one, maybe
Starting point is 01:46:39 it was Justice Thomas. He said next is gay rights. He sure did. Gay marriage. But he's not going to go after biracial marriage. Interracial. Interracial. We knew it too late.
Starting point is 01:46:51 Interracial. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He's not going to go after either one. Exactly. You never know what these guys will do. But he can't. Right. He got Jenny.
Starting point is 01:47:00 We're going to leave it alone. He doesn't know who he is. Guess what? The hypocrisy of these folks is so large, you can't hold them to any standard of consistency. Look at this. When Mitch McConnell said you can't vote on a justice within about six months before the election. A year. And then there was another vacancy, and he put someone in a month before.
Starting point is 01:47:23 They have no consistency. They will do anything to keep this court intact because they know that their agenda is so far to the right that no one will accept it in the elected branches. This has to be, you are right, this has to be one of our biggest fights. But doesn't it take more courage from Democrats when it comes to situations like that? Democrats have a reputation for being cowards because they don't push back on things like that. Well, hey, Charlemagne, I'm from Brooklyn.
Starting point is 01:47:49 We fight. So I want to just say, Senator Schumer's staff is waving him down so hard he almost lost his train of thought. We are so grateful for your time tonight. Thank you. Majority Leader Schumer, we are looking forward to it. Let me just say, folks, on to victory.
Starting point is 01:48:04 We must win the future of this country, the future of the world. And democracy. Depends on this. And by the way, can I just say one of the very first things we're going to do if we get the power is put the John Lewis Voting Rights Act, the Freedom to Vote Act on the floor of the Senate, changing those rules, and we will get it done. I love it. I love it.
Starting point is 01:48:23 Thank you, Leader. Thank you. I'm hoping you count on reparations, too. We appreciate it. Thank you, Leader. Thank you. I hope you count on reparations, too. We appreciate it. Thank you, Leader. We'd like to see it. I echo your sentiment. Justice and policing, we need all that.
Starting point is 01:48:31 We got a lot to do. Be careful. We got a big agenda. We need to be in there. Thank you so much. Last time we had the power, we had the most successful Congress, most sexual presidency, give Joe Biden credit, since Johnson and maybe
Starting point is 01:48:45 since roosevelt it'll happen again even more you ain't seen you ain't seen nothing yet all right that was senator chuck schumer shout to charlemagne and the native land podcast they will be out to angela rye andrew gillum tiffany cross uh we'll be out there broadcast again tonight i forgot who we got on tonight i think i saw governor westmore on the schedule uh maybe governor shapiro pop up on us i'm not sure but we'll see okay all right and when we come back we got on tonight.

When we come back, we got Jess with the mess with Lauren LaRosa's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 01:49:15 The news is real. The news is real. I thought they hit the sweeper. She don't spare nobody. Worldwide Jess. Worldwide jest. Worldwide mess. On The Breakfast Club. She's a coachess.
Starting point is 01:49:31 With Lauren LaRosa. I'm back. And I got the mess. Talk to me. It's been a crazy morning. It has. It has. So Janet Jackson, we want to give a shout out to her.
Starting point is 01:49:42 She just announced that she is going to be doing a Vegas residency, another Vegas residency. She had one back in 2019 that actually grossed $12.9 million, but she is doing another one. It will start New Year's week. First show is December 30th, and it's reported, not confirmed, but it was reported that she is going to be paid the upward of $13 million for this residency. So if that is true, shout out to her.'s dope she deserves it all sis is legend um and then you have something to say no okay cardi b so cardi b has hopped online i'm gonna say that i can't wait to go see janet jackson's residency in vegas i love those residencies in vegas vegas is a great

If you was born in 1970-something, that's our era, baby. Joe D.C. Joe D.C. I think Wu-Tang did one as well. Wu-Tang had one. No, I think Nas came out to one of the Wu-Tang shows, if I'm not mistaken. Long story short, we live for those.
Starting point is 01:50:41 All your uncles and aunties live for those, okay? We do, too. The nieces, we live for it, too. I like them. Elbow's and aunties live for those, okay? We do too. The nieces, we live for it too. I like them. Elbows too, Ashley. Elbow, what? You over there looking like an elbow. Just ignore him.
Starting point is 01:50:52 Just ignore him. Keep going. So Cardi B hopped online. She's been recently addressing a bunch of stuff. Y'all know how Cardi B get. So there was a fan who tweeted in response to a photo she posted of her and her best friend Starbrim. And Starbrim is holding her stomach. You know, Cardi B is expecting her new baby will offset and the fans said that Cardi B
Starting point is 01:51:09 is bleaching her skin because she looks really light in the photo number one she has blonde hair which always makes you a little bit lighter look a little bit lighter and then there is obviously a flash on them but Cardi B got on um X and she said she's not bleaching while she's pregnant she asked was the fandom she said actually her pregnancy is it's kind of taking a toll on her she's slightly anemic the baby is sucking the energy out of her body to the point where she's normally pale her eyes are sunken her veins are green she can't tan under the sun because she gets hot super fast and then she gets dizzy so she told them to please stop thinking with their, can I say it? No.
Starting point is 01:51:45 No. Okay. Please stop thinking with the word that I cannot say. Your ass. Yeah. Uh-huh. And then also Cardi B addressed some rumors about a recent home that people were saying was up for sale in Atlanta that her offsite owns.
Starting point is 01:51:57 She said it's not up for sale whatsoever. Let's take a listen to the audio. Not everything that I do is because, oh, I just filed for divorce. The blogs make everything so dramatic also i don't even know why that white girl from tiktok talking about that i'm losing my properties and everything like no like i just moved in my craven jersey and i just signed a very very big deal i just signed on the dotted ink a very, very big deal for something that I've been wanting to do for a very long time. So money is good.
Starting point is 01:52:29 Money is great over here. Y'all really need to stop listening to s**t that is blind items with no receipts. Y'all been making up crazy stories about me and this s**t. And if I ever decide to sell my part of the Atlanta house, if this a**hole don't want to buy it, then I'll put it on sale. But I don't think y'all be understanding. I don't live in Atlanta. I live here.
Starting point is 01:52:54 I live in Jersey. So, go ahead. No, I'm going to say, you know, Cardi is 31. So, she's from the generation that grew up on the internet. Like, truly grew up on the internet. But I promise you, y'all don't owe these people explanations for anything. These people are committed to misunderstanding you. They jealous.
Starting point is 01:53:11 They envious. They want to say things to piss you off. They want to say things to ruin your day. Y'all don't have to get online and explain nothing to these heathens. But it got to be a headache, right? She just bought a crib in Manhattan, right? She just posted it. And they say, oh, she just bought a new crib to move out.
Starting point is 01:53:23 She's like, no, I still have my house in jersey right i just bought one in the city like what's wrong with y'all sometimes it just feels like she just has to answer because if not these blogs be running with anything and then they were saying like there were like smaller headlines that picked up which is why i got the tiktok and the girl she's talking about that in the house in atlanta that she owns were offset with under foreclosure they couldn't afford it blah blah blah and actually she was saying like no it's worth five million dollars well it was worth five million we bought it and now it's worth seven so actually we doing good like check the receipts please but i hear what you're saying but i think what cardi even though it gets a it gets a little annoying to watch sometimes like girl you don't
Starting point is 01:53:56 have to respond to everything it's why people love her for real though it's like she's gonna get out there for herself every time but that's people know that too and that's why they do it as well they know she's gonna respond but yeah and then that every time. But that's people know that, too. And that's why they do it as well. They know she's going to respond. But yeah. And then in some more Georgia news real quick, I want to shut this up because I thought that this was fire. Gunna has his Gunna's great giveaways and they are teaming up with the Black Music Action Coalition. And they're going to be giving families in a certain area of Fulton County, like a certain zip code, a thousand dollars a month for a year. It's a five500,000 initiative.
Starting point is 01:54:26 And you also get like mental health resources and financial literacy resources as well. But it's basically a part of his like challenge to give tangible items to people in his community, which right now, $1,000 extra a month can do wonders for a family. So shout out to him for that.
