This is an I-Heart podcast. Guaranteed Human. I'm investigative journalist Melissa Jeltsin. My new podcast, What Happened in Nashville, tells the story of an IVF clinic's catastrophic collapse and the patients who banded together in the chaos that followed. It doesn't matter how much I fight. It doesn't matter how much I cry over all of this.

It doesn't matter how much justice we get. None of it's going to get me pregnant. Listen to what happened in Nashville on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I know he has a reputation, but it's going to catch up to him. Gabe Ortiz is a cop. His brother Larry, a mystery Gabe didn't want to solve until it was too late. He was the head of this gang.

You're going to push that line for the cause? Took us under his wing and showed us the game, as they call it. When Larry's killed, Gabe must untangle the dangerous past, one that could destroy everything he thought he knew. Listen to the brothers Ortiz on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Who would you call if the unthinkable happened? My sister was y'all 22 times. A police officer, right?

But what do you do when the monster is the man in blue? This dude is the devil. He'll hurt you.

I got you, I got you, I got you. Listen to the girlfriends, untouchable, on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. I got you. I knew it was a bomb the second that it exploded.

I felt it ripped through me. In season two of Rip Current, we asked, who tried to kill Judy Berry and why? They were climbing trees, and they were sabotaging equipment in the woods. She received death threats before the bombing. She received more threats after the bombing. I think that this is a deliberate attempt to sabotage our movement. Episodes of Rip Current Season 2 are available now. Listen on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Boat, woke up, wake that ass up. Program your alarm to Power 105.1 on IHeart Radio. Good morning, USA! Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo.

Good morning. How y'all feel out there? I feel blessed black and highly favored. Happy to be here another day to serve our beautiful listeners. Good morning. What's up, Jess? I'm like you about to lose your voice. I know, right?

I had an event last night. Another foundation event, we raised toys at Black Swan. We collaborated with BTST. Chris Simon and his wife have a foundation in Baltimore City and we raised a lot of other toys that's going to go to 25 families down at the

Horseshoe Casino at a dinner this Wednesday That's dope To give us back to the community As you all shit Absolutely How do you lose your voice doing that? Because it was a cocktail

So I had to host it And I was on the mic Telling jokes and all that this type of stuff And so yeah it was from 7 to 11 night at Black Swan and Baltimore. So, yeah. Well, congratulations, Jess.

Drop one of those books with Jessica Robbins. Yes, yes. It is a lot. It's taking a lot out of me doing this foundation work, but it feels good, though. It feels good. And the families,

that's going to be my relief, seeing them relief. There you go. Yeah. Just like doing something for other people is so tiring. Oh, my God. Shut up.

Shut up. I'm glad that I decided to start doing it. Yes, it's amazing. It is a lot of work. But, yeah, it's good. I guarantee you tomorrow you're going to take a sick day because your voice is almost there.

No, I'm not. I'm actually going to be a damn sick day. We've got vacation all after Friday. Her voice can be gone. It's okay. I'm going to be in there in the studio tomorrow. Yes, I'm there. And if you have kids out there, they're saying the flu is ridiculous

and so is strep. It's a lot of cases running around, and that's why a lot of kids are sick. That's why a lot of people are losing their voices. A lot of problem. As Charlemagne called it a couple of weeks ago, the throat monster is taking over. I ain't say none by no throat monster.

He said, Jew. Yeah, I used to be back today. And you are now. He said, yeah, envy, he said you to throw monster. Oh, you said, me. I thought you said the throat monster got my throat. Pause. Well, that's you.

I want to talk to Mike. I don't want to have this conversation. All I'm simply saying is this is why people go get flu shots. Okay, I've never been a flu shot type of person. But I understand why people do go get the flu shots. Because, you know, the flu mutates every year. Every year, there's a new variant of the flu. So people go get flu shots every year, I guess to try to slow some of this down.

No, it hasn't been working because a lot of people haven't been getting the flu shot. So what, and I had to dive into this the other couple of weeks ago, but a lot of people haven't been getting the flu shot. And because they haven't been getting the flu shot, the actual flu shot hasn't been working. Enough people haven't been getting it to make sure you have immunity. Oh, you can't say it don't work then. No, that's what they've been saying.

No, but you said people don't get it. Because if more people get the flu shot, it builds up an immunity. Because people aren't getting it like they should. It's not doing what it's supposed to be doing to the flu. Because they're not getting it. It's not because it don't work, though. No, no, yeah, because they're not getting. That's what I'm saying, because people are not getting it.

So they're telling people to go out there and get the flu shot, it'll actually help. And I learned something about strep, too. I learned strep is something that happens more often than we think. But the reason why we take medicine for strep is not because the actual throat is because strep can affect your heart. I learned all this the last couple of weeks, down with all this issue. Don't quote me, Google it, but I've been talking to doctors. I've been fine. And I've got six kids.

My kids got flu. So fallatio can lead to cardiovascular issues is what you're saying. Christ, Jesus Christ. Let's get the show cracking. You always got to go there. Why there? Oh, my place is there. You started off talking about you a throat monster.

I'm just matching your energy, King. Tasha Cobb's Lennett will be joined. Just play with the shape right over there. Tasha Cubs Lennon will be joining us today. She's got a new album called Tasha Out now. And I love what Tasha Cobb Lennon is doing because she uses her music for ministry as well. Right. You know, and she's telling her personal story a lot through this album.

And I'm a person that believes people's personal. personal experiences can help others as well, because you never know what somebody else is dealing with, especially if they're going through the same thing that you're going through. So when you see somebody go through something and get through it and then tell you how to do it, it can be very motivational. Absolutely. Dr. Cobb Linnett will be here to talk about it all this morning. So since we have Tasha Coblinid coming in to do a little bit of preaching, let's start the show like that.

Goddammit. Okay, I'm with you. We got front page news next, but what are we doing, Dolf? This is a Negro spiritual. All right. This is young Dolf is preach. You goddamn, right. What you're going to cut on with some Kirk Franklin or something?

You're talking about those dogs. Same different. Yes. Same difference. Preach. Okay. The breakfast club, get your ass up. Good morning.

Rest and peace, dog, man. Man, rest and peace, young golf. Lord have mercy. Morning, everybody. It's DJ NV. Jess O'Larious. Sholomaine, the guy. We are to breakfast club.

Let's get in some front page news. Now on Monday night football. The Steelers beat the Dolphins 28 to 15. What's up, Mimi? Good morning. Good morning, Mvite, Jolamaine. How y'all doing this morning? Good morning.

Good morning. So we begin this morning in Providence, Rhode Island, where a massive manhunt is now underway for the suspected gunmen behind that deadly shooting at Brown University. That two people were killed, nine others wounded when the shooter opened fire Saturday afternoon inside the engineering building on campus. A police say more than 40 rounds were fired from a 9mm handgun. Authorities have released new photos and video of a person of interest captured several hours before the shooting near the Brown campus. Now, the images, they show a man dressed in dark clothing, walking alone on nearby streets. His face partially covered. Investigators say they do not yet have a clear facial image or a confirmed identity. Now, an earlier person of interest was detained over the weekend.

He has since been released after police say the evidence no longer supported holding him. Police, they are now warning, though, that that individual that's seen in the new footage should be considered armed and dangerous. The FBI has joined the search and is now offering a 50,000. $1,000 reward for information leading to the suspect's identification, his arrest, and his conviction. And as a search continues, the mayor, Brett Smiley, the mayor of Providence, he was asked how a shooting like this could happen on the campus of an Ivy League University. Let's listen to what he had to say. Brown University is a little bit unique from other universities and it's something that I think

is beautiful, which is it's an open campus integrated with the neighborhood. This is not a school that has a wall around it or a fence around it, you know, neighbors walk their dog through campus, and I hope that that can continue, and I think that it will. Because while it was a Saturday, it was during the final exam period, and so there were two final exams taking place. The shooting occurred in a room where there was a study session taking place. It was 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and so the exterior doors were unlocked, and that would have been typical on campus. That wasn't a failure of protocol or anything like that i mean that's a stupid question and the reason i say that is even closed campuses students get in and out off the campus all day long i went to hampton

university which had a quote-unquote fence around it but students walk through the gate all day long there's different openings for students to get backing into classes to the library outside the campus so you can get on campus it's not like any campus is set up like a jail where you have to go through certain protocols you do you do want the campuses to be secured i remember you know going on college business with my daughter, you know, over the last few months, I remember one of the parents, one of the schools we visited, I remember one of the parents were just like, why isn't this place

more secure? How can people can just walk in and out? But that's all colleges, though. But no, there's some schools you go to that look like, I'm not saying, but they look like Fort Knox, like literally. Unless it's a private way, it's fully gated, and they don't let anybody on campus. You don't see too many of them. There's something.

Well, President Trump, he's also asking, well, actually, President Trump, he was asked why it's taken so long to identify a suspect, to arrest the gunmen, and he's pointing the finger at Brown University saying they have their own police force. Let's listen to what he had to say. Has Cash Patel told you why it's been so difficult for the FBI to identify who the shooter is? You'd really have to ask the school a little bit more about that, because this was a school problem. They had their own guards, they had their own police, had their own everything, but you'd have

to ask that question really to the school, not to the FBI. after the fact and the FBI will do a good job but they came in after the fact yeah and we're now learning the names of the two students who were killed Ella Cook she was a sophomore and vice president of the Brown

College of the Republicans and Muhammad Yermokazir Kov he was a freshman whose family says that he dreamed of becoming a neurosurgeon and authorities they are asking anyone with any information no matter how big or small to contact the police or even

leave a tip on the FBI line or even leave a tip online any way that you would like to leave that information. They're asking for the public, their help in finding this suspect. And now turning to Los Angeles where a federal authorities say they stopped a New Year's Eve

bombing plot. Now federal authorities say they arrested, yep, four people accused of planning a coordinated pipe bomb attack across Southern California just weeks before the holiday. The FBI says the suspects were part of an extremist group called the Turtle Island Liberation Front.

They were allegedly planning to plant backpack bombs at multiple locations in Los Angeles to explode at midnight on New Year's Eve. Investigators say handwritten plans. They detailed how the bombs were going to be built and how to avoid leaving evidence. These authorities, they moved in before

the devices could be completed or deployed. But officials, they're calling it a credible and imminent terrorist attack saying the arrest likely prevented mass casualties right before the holidays. And the Turtle Island, what's it called Turtle Island Liberation Front? The Turtle Island Liberation Front.

They don't got nothing better to do? Like, go do some drugs on New Year's Eve. Have a drink. Get some cheeks. Go to church. Save some turtles. Save some turtles. Save some turtles.

Damn. All right, y'all. Well, coming up at seven, before you return those unwanted holiday gifts, there's a change that you'll want to hear about. That's definitely going to affect your wallet. We'll explain in the next hour. All right. Everybody else, get it off your chest. 800-585-105-1.

Higher than Health. Yes, ma'am. And I want to salute to all the doctors. I went down a rabbit hole on TikTok. the other day with doctors that are forced to do surgeries without insurance companies paying them. I guess there's, they, insurance

companies have to approve certain things and sometimes they don't approve, but the doctors feel like their patients need the surgery anyway. And there's a lot of doctor offices and doctors out there. I've been watching that do the surgery anyway because they want to save the patient and they don't care about the health insurance. I want to salute to all those doctors out there. I went through

a long rabbit hole last night and it was Jesus. It made me tear up about, there were kids that needed surgery, where a dose it had cancer. And a lot of times, these insurance companies wouldn't cover them. So salute to all those doctors out there. How deep down the hole did you go? He said he went down a long raven hole.

That's crazy. You're going to hate a positive thing. Y'all just heard the rabbit hole. No, I heard everything. You're freaky. I know. I did hear it. Just answer the question.

It was a long rabbit hole. Okay. What started? I don't know. He dived right in. He died right in. Indeed. Hello, who's this?

Hi, thank you. Happy holidays. Happy holidays to you. Hi. Good morning. Hey, who's that in the background? My daughter She's 50% and I have my son

Chad. They're so excited for your family. Good morning to them. Good morning to them. But they're so excited to talk to y'all. Hey, Jeff, I love you so much. Hey, I love you too. Everybody, the whole East High. Hey. So that being stated, I had called there just to talk about the

Kendra-Lamara situation. Like, we listened to Kims at Lamar in our house, but he did become 1.0 when he went against Drake because they knew Drake but they knew Kendrick's song but they didn't know his name so he came like a household name after the beef. That man was a household name

before the beef. Well Florida we live in a very diverse areas. And then white people know Kendrick LeBahn. He was a household name but that Drake I think took it up a level. We just came off a cruise. I had on a shirt that said they're not like us and they were questioned in the shirt. It was a very unmelinated cruise. Yeah no I think

I mean he is a household name but I think that that beef, I think he turned it up a level. I'm not arguing with you. I'm not arguing with you all about this, no boy. He gained a lot of fandom. Because it's not, because my sister-old knows his name. She knew his phone.

But after she knew his name. I got you. Well, thank you, Jennifer. And enjoy your kids. Say your kids happy holidays. Okay. I think I wanted to say real quick, have holidays,

is that as far as the start on your license, I know you have to talk about that for a while. That's the real ID, man. I've been in Georgia for 20 years, and I didn't have to start my license because I never had an ID. Is that? In order to be a star, you have to have an ID first.

Yes, you have to have an ID and they're requiring everybody really to get a star on their license, which is a real ID. In order to get a star, you can get a driver's license. I've been here 20 years and had a driver's license, but I never got an ID to the state. Oh, I get what you're saying? You have to have an ID first and then get a star for your driver's license. I think just like Kendrick Lamar, everybody knew that, man. Okay?

Oh, my God. You were talking by the Salomein? Don't do it like that. I'm just saying. We knew that. We knew this already. man. That's why we were talking about. You're so mean. I love you.

I love you too. Bye. You're so mean. I love you. Get it off your chest. 8005-8-5-105.1. We got the latest with Lauren coming up. Good morning, guys. Yes. Good morning. Hey, Jess. Good morning. Yes, we do. We are going to be talking some updates in the Rob Reiner and his wife, Michelle's, killing. His son has officially been arrested for the murder. So we're going to get into those updates. It's top of the morning. I just want to tell you, Lauren is like a magician. You had a pimple right here yesterday.

It's not there no more. Oh, yeah. The skin care. You call makeup. No, I don't have any makeup on. I don't have any makeup on right now. I always come here with no makeup, fresh face, and then I put the makeup on.

Lauren might have put the pink on. Why would I put the big pimple on? Then I always get married, because you don't even be neat in the makeup. It's a skincare regimen. Now, the people are gone, though. Usually don't go, you see a little rest of you. That's crazy how he put you out there, though.

Like, what if anybody knew you had a pet boom? I mean, it's on my face. Or what it was a, no, but what if it was a cold store a whole time? Oh, wow. A what? Oh, my cheek. You can get that on your teeth. They just get your holidays.

What? All right. Next, it's the breakfast club. Good morning. Lauren becoming a straight thing. Tell us. She gets them to somebody that knows somebody. She gets to detail.

I'm the home girl that knows a little bit about everything. She'd be having the latest on this. The latest with Lauren La Rosa. Sometimes you have facts. Sometimes she has details. Sometimes she have a little bit of everything. Well, it's the latest. On the breakfast club.

Talk to me. Sit your tired. That's up, Jess. All right, what's up, yo? So, Rob Rayner and his wife, Michelle, we talked yesterday about the fact that they were found dead in their home with their throat slit and that it was suspected at the time that their son may have been responsible who was in police custody for questioning, but no charges or no arrest had officially happened.

But now their son has been arrested for the murder of his parents. Their son, his name is Nick Reiner. He's 32 years old. He's currently being held with no bell. At the time that his arrest appeared on the... the LAPD jail website. At first it said $4 million would be his bell, but now he's being

held with no bell. He was arrested yesterday at 9.15 p.m. so there were like, you know, some hours in between where there are reports that he had checked into a hotel and that the hotel room was found with various like bloody things in the room. But yeah, so now people are trying to piece

together, you know, what led up to this moment. There's been reports and conversations about an argument that happened Sunday in the home, but there's also now reports about an argument that happened Saturday at an alleged argument that happened Saturday at Conan O'Brien's Christmas

party where people that were there are telling TMZ, a source told TMZ, that they got into the argument, it was loud enough for people around them to hear some of the family left, but not all together. I was listening this morning on the news and they were saying that they believe he had mental problems before that they were trying to face

and they said that there were people coming to the house late at night and he would leave the house late at night, meet people in the street, and come back in the house so they was thinking that he had maybe a drug problem allegedly or something like that? I'm sure.

Yeah, so he's talked about, Nick has talked about his drug addiction. Him and his dad, Rob Reiner, actually did a movie that, you know, talked about dealing with the drug addiction and different mental health issues that he went through

where Rob also talked about, you know, his side of things being the dad in that situation. So, yeah, they've openly talked about it. I do know when he was, or after he was arrested, Nick Reiner was placed on suicide watch. I did reach back out

to LAPD to ask if this was something that is just protocol because of the situation or if there was like something said or like you know kind of what got them to that point to put him on that close suicide watch but I haven't heard back on that I mean tragic isn't a strong enough word I mean the person you the person you birthed the person you raised become someone that you don't even know probably someone you don't even want to be around and then that person who you gave life to takes yours yeah oh my God they were comparing it to the Mendez brothers how the Mendes brothers killed their parents and saying it was the same kind of yeah I but it's gruesome and disgusting, man.

Very much. And there's been a lot of people outpouring love and just talking about last conversations that they had. Michelle Obama was on Kimmel last night, actually, and she talked about how they were literally like supposed to be meeting with Rob Reiner. Let's take a listen.

We've known them for many, many years and we were supposed to be seeing them that night. Wow. I'm investigative journalist Melissa Jeltson. My new podcast, What Happened in Nashville, tells the story of an eye IVF clinics' catastrophic collapse and the patients who banded together in the chaos that followed.

We have some breaking news to tell you about. Tennessee's attorney general is suing a Nashville doctor. In April 2024, a fertility clinic in Nashville shut down overnight and trapped behind locked doors were more than a thousand frozen embryos. I was terrified. Out of all of our journey, that was the worst moment ever. At that point, it didn't occur to me what fight was going to come. come to follow. But this story isn't just about a few families' futures. It's about whether the promise of modern fertility care can be trusted at all. It doesn't matter how much I fight, doesn't matter how much I cry over all of this, it doesn't matter how much justice we get. None of it's

going to get me pregnant. Listen to what happened in Nashville on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Subscribe to the NFL Fantasy Football Podcast on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we got the news. And let me just say this, unlike some people, Rob and Michelle Reiner are some of the most decent, courageous people you ever want to know. They are not deranged or praise. What they have always been are. passionate people in a time when there are not there's not a lot of courage going on they were the kind of people who were ready to put their actions behind what they cared about and they cared about their family and they cared about this country and they cared about fairness and equity and that is the truth I do know them wow yeah so some of that was also in response to I know what Mimi Brown talked about in a front page news where she mentioned Trump's comments that got some backlash but

But, yes, it's so sad. So sending us some love to the family right here at the holidays, too. Yeah. Yeah, but switching gears yesterday I spoke to, I told you guys, I spoke to a source exclusively on the Camor Ali Simmons and Russell Simmons back and forth, who had told me some things. Yesterday, Camor Lee Simmons actually posted herself to her Instagram in response to Russell Simmons, alleging that he was threatened to not be able to see his kids if he had went forward with suing her and saying that, you know, he was giving her $50,000.

a month for some time. She posted, My girls are grown women. Grown women in all caps. You know these are lies. Why are you typing from thousands of miles away in a non-extraditioned country? Go negotiate and answer your accusers.

Damn. I saw somebody say, he will be a downward dog for five months after this. Because y'all know he'd be doing the meditation stuff. Yeah. Well, I don't know. Maybe this is the end of it. Maybe there will be more.

So we will, you know, keep you guys updated in the latest. Now, they always talk about Russell being in that country, and the reason he's in that country is because he can't come here. But Russell comes here all the time. I saw him a couple months ago. He was just in Central Park. Yeah, I saw him a couple months ago and say less. You just see him in St.Less.

He was just in Central Park. Yeah. He was walking around. Yeah, because remember my old cameraman, he sell waters in the park now. And Russell bought a water from him the other month. Oh. What? Yeah.

Why the hell was Russell was selling water? No, Russell Simmons was selling water. Oh, I was like, what? I was like, what? I was like, oh, my God. I was like, oh, my God. I'm like, how much Dr. Comorah get from him? That he got to be selling water.

Allegedly. That was crazy. Allegedly. Yeah, no. I mean, he'd be here. I've seen him. I remember when I saw him, I was surprised because I thought that, I didn't think that he was not allowed to come back. I just thought he stays in Bali because it's just like, he had a lot going on over here.

So when I saw him just out chilling and say less, I was like, oh, look at Russell Simmons. You used to live in L.A., right? Yes. Yes. Did you know that Arnold Schwarzenegger was your governor? I bet you didn't even know that. I did because. TMZ and Harvey literally talked about it

like every single day. Oh, my God. Yeah, it was like a whole thing. All right. Girl. Go ahead. All right. That is the latest with Lauren. Thank you, Lauren. Now, when we come back, we got front page news. We're going to be breaking everything down. And then gospel singer, Tasha Cobbs

Lennon will be joining us. It's the breakfast club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ NV. J.S. Heleriamane the guy. We are the breakfast club. Let's get back in some front page news. Now, on Monday Night Football, the Steelers beat the Dolphins 28 to 15. What's up, Mimi? Good morning, Mee, Jess Chaldemain. How y'alline? How y'all doing?

Peace, Mimi. Good. Good morning. All right, so we start this hour in Hollywood where President Trump, he is facing backlash after suggesting without evidence that filmmaker Rob Reiner's death was tied to criticism of him. Now, police say Reiner and his wife, Michelle Singer, Reiner. They were found dead on Sunday. Their case is being investigated as a homicide, and their 32-year-old son has been arrested in charge with murder. No motive has been made public as of yet. But despite that ongoing investigation, Trump posted on social media claiming that Reiner died because of what he called Trump derangement syndrome, a term he uses to attack his critics. He wrote in part, a very sad thing

happened last night in Hollywood. Rob Reiner, a tortured and struggling but very once talented movie director and comedy star has passed away together with his wife Michelle, reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding and uncurable affliction with a mind-cripling disease known as Trump derangement syndrome. He went on before finally saying, may Rob and Michelle rest in peace. At the White House, they later reposted that response. And when asked about it, Trump, he doubled down. Let's listen to what he had to say. A number of Republicans have denounced your statement on true social after the murder of Rob Reiner. Do you stand by that post? Well, I wasn't a fan of his at all.

he was a deranged person as far as Trump is concerned. He said he knew it was false. In fact, it's the exact opposite that I was a friend of Russia controlled by Russia. You know, it was the Russia hoax. He was one of the people behind it. I think he

heard himself in career-wise. He became like a deranged person, Trump derangement syndrome. So I was not a fan of Rob Reiner at all in any way, shape, or form. I thought he was very bad for our country. How do you turn someone's tragic murder into politically motivated violence.

That's crazy. He's making it seem like like a dude got killed because of his feelings toward Donald Trump. Why would you even want to put that out there that someone would be killed for their opinion on a politician?

And what are you saying about your followers and supporters that they would kill someone because they don't like you? Exactly. And that post, it sparked immediate backlash, including Republicans and conservative commentators who said the remarks were inappropriate

and exactly what you said, Charlemagne, politicizing a brutal killing, several GOP lawmakers and conservative voices, they call for sympathy, they call for restraint. And one of the loudest rebukes, though, it came from Whoopi Goldberg, who criticized Trump's comments on the view. Let's listen to what she had to say. The man in that White House, because he talked so much about Charlie Kirk and Caring, and suddenly this is what he puts out. Have you no shame? No shame at all?

This is a, can you get any lower? I don't think. think so. And what do you have to say about what's happened around the world? Where is our voices Americans? Somebody's got to speak up for us. Our hearts are breaking through all of this, through Rob, through what's happened at Bondi Beach, what happened at Brown. And you don't find the time to say as Americans, we hate what's happening. You ain't my president, man. Well, the other reality is Donald Trump is the president. He doesn't have to comment on Rob Reiner at all. Rob Reiner isn't a politician.

Rob Reiner is not an elected official. He's an actor. So he didn't have to say anything at all. Right. Yes. However, Reiner, he was deeply active in politics in both California and nationally. In California, he helped pass the first five California and helped pass marriage equality. Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

She talked about how his reach, it went far beyond Hollywood with a lot of the civic engagement that he was into. And Governor Gavin Newsom, when he was trying to get, I think it was marriage equality here in California, he said that it was Reiner who came to his aid and stood beside him with a lot of his own fellow political party members were silent on the issue. So he's had a big voice in politics, and I know he has spoke out a lot against Trump when he was running for president the first time. And so I think that's what Trump is referring to when he's talking about the Russia hoax, and he's talking about how Rob had a lot. lot of things bad or negative to say about him. And also he was still he was going to run against him and his wife were

slain in their house. Yes. In their home by their, you know what I'm saying? It's just weird. What were he going to say? Envy? I was going to say he was also he was going to run against Arnold Schwarzenegger for governor at one point. So he's heavy in the politics. Also Arnold Schwarzenegger was going to run?

Honos Swastonaguer was governor of California, yes? Oh my good. That's so crazy. Also, does Donald Trump know what happened to Rob can happen to anyone? I know I know. I know he got secret service and all the security in the world, but Rob got killed by his son. Somebody close to you can snap. Somebody close to you can flip out. So you should be very careful with that

kind of energy because don't think it can't happen to you. That is right. Absolutely. And turning now to another Trump headline, this one involving the media and a major lawsuit. So President Donald Trump, he is filed, he's filed a $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the BBC

accusing the broadcaster of misleading viewers in a documentary that aired just before the 2024 election. So it centers around a BBC documentary called Trump, a second chance. It's similar in style to 60 minutes here in the U.S. So Trump claims that the program, it edited his January 6th speech in a deceptive way, making it appear he directly urged his supporters who violently stormed the Capitol. He was asked about this in the Oval Office. Let's listen to what he had to say. I'm suing the BBC for putting words in my mouth, literally to put words in my mouth.

They had to be saying things that I never said coming out. I guess they used AI or something. Even the media can't believe that one. They actually put terrible words in my mouth having to do with January 6th that I didn't say. And the beautiful words that I said, right? Talking about patriotism and all of the good things that I said, they didn't say that. And they got caught. That's called fake news. Do we have the words, Mimi?

I need to hear what the BBC said that he said. I look. We don't have the words. That's because the BBC had to pull it. They have promised to pull it from all airing platforms and to never air it again. So Trump, he filed that lawsuit late last night in federal court in Miami. According to the complaint, like he just said, they edited parts of a January 6th speech. He says that they placed comments that he said nearly an hour apart side by side to create the impression that he was calling for violence.

The BBC, they acknowledged their error in judgment and how the clip was edited, and they apologized. They pulled the documentary up from its platforms and said, okay, we promise we will not air it again. The leadership, the BBC news leadership, including the Director General and the head of news, they all resign. But still, Trump is arguing that the damage has been done, and especially since that documentary already aired,

and he accused the BBC of election interference, even though he won, and he's seeking $5 billion for defamation and $5 billion under Florida's deception. law practices for a total of $10 billion. The BBC, they regret it, but they say that it's not defamation.

But y'all, this is just another latest argument or series of lawsuits that Trump has filed against major media outlets. So we've got what now? The New York Times, the ABC, CBS, Wall Street Journal, and he's already received multi-million dollar settlements

paid to the Trump presidential library from those lawsuits. Mimi, did you know that, was your governor? I did. But he was governor like a long time ago. Oh, my goodness. This is so crazy.

I didn't even know that he was a U.S. citizen. Girl and man is from Austria. Yeah. Australia. Australia. Australia. Australia.

No, he's from Austria. She's right. It's Austria? Thank you so much. Exactly. Oh, okay. Okay. I thought it was Australia.

Oh, my God. I didn't know that them people can be governor in America. All right, Mimi. Thank you, Mimi. All right, y'all. Well, that is your front page news. I'm Mimi Brown. Follow me.

Now, when we come back, Tasha Cobbs-Linner, will be joining us. She has a new album called Tasha. We're going to talk to her next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody.

DJ NV. Just hilarious. Sholomey and the Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. Her album is out right now. Tasha. We have Tasha Cobbs Leonard.

Welcome. What's up? Good morning. Good morning. It looked beautiful. Thank you. How are you telling? Cold.

Yes, it's freezing outside, but it's all right. It's freezing and air. Yeah, y'all are right? Bless Black and Hot's favorite. New album, Tasha, out right now. When people name their albums, like their name, usually it's very personal. So I know that that's what this is. Yes.

I remember Karen Clark Sheard a few years ago, she did an album called Finally Karen. And I always wonder, why did she? named this album, Finally Karen. And when I got to this album, I completely understood that she was in a place where she was just settled with herself. Like, this is who I am. This is what I have to offer.

And that's what this album is about for me. It is a testimony. So many testimonies bottled up in a bunch of songs. From, you know, from miscarriages to grief to celebrations and blended families. I mean, everything is in there. How does the gospel community feel when you put yourself as the focus?

it's you know what it's it's more so about the testimony that God has been faithful through those through those seasons and I feel like it has been accepted much better because a lot of times we can hide behind like this fog of everything is holy holy holy holy you never go through anything and I think people can relate more when you tell the truth about your story that there are some seasons where I was sitting down like God what are you doing you know and people can relate to that But at the end of the day, even when we went into the writing sessions, my main thing was we're going to always offer hope. Though we tell our truth, at the end of the day, God is still faithful, and he's been good. And it has been received so well by so many people.

We're talking about all these things that you've been going through. You're never scared to put that much personal information out, especially because people always say church folks are the most judgy. Yeah. You've never had any, like, ah, maybe not. You know what? If I doubt should not judge, but boy, boy, church. Oh, my goodness. Last year, I released a book called Do It Anyway.

And that was probably one of the most transparent things I've ever had to do is like memoirs. So I went back into my life and my story. And I realized that sometimes we can put these songs out and people think you're just singing pretty, pretty melodies. Like your story is disconnected from it. And I saw through that book and the response of it that people wanted to hear more about the story. And so I'm willing to be transparent if it's going to be somebody's healing. You know, if somebody's healing is connected to it, I'm willing to be transparent and tell my story. And I think that's what the gospel is, you know, just, you know, telling, being honest about what you've gone through and how God has always been faithful in delivering you from that.

You know, people always say, they say your music has always felt like a bridge between traditional worship and the emotional realities of everyday people. So what you're saying makes sense. But how is your understanding of calling evolved as your platform is wrong? Oh, my goodness. It is, um, with every presentation. or every entity, so with every album. I listen back to some of the older albums like Smile and Grace, and I hear this innocence that sometimes I honestly miss

because being exposed in industry and being exposed to different platforms, it introduces you to things that you can't forget. You know, it's almost like I want to get back to that. But then, too, you know, I've experienced so much life and so many testimonies of how God has been so good in every season. You know, you have this, interesting dichotomy. Like, hey, you know, the innocence was great,

but then the experience is really good, too, because now I have testimonies that I can share that teach other people. Yeah, but all the awards you won, Grammy Awards, Stella Awards, Dove Awards, Billboard Music Awards. That's right. What is success to you now? Because you didn't achieve everything as far as award-wise.

So what is success to you? What are you, if you're chasing? What are you chasing now, if anything? Wow. I love the season that I'm in. I'm married now. I have children, you know, family. that's my thing I love to be home

I'm just coming off a 60 day sabbatical which was just amazing I love being at home with my kids and with my family my husband and I we pastor a church you know so building community and family in the local like a local church has always been my heart

so I pursued that and you know I believe that God honors my commitment there and it still gives him this trust like I can trust you with greater things because you are still committed to my local community The people, you know, the mothers in the church, you know, I still love that. I still love to be able to touch people and relate to them and have community with them.

So if I'm pursuing anything, it would be that to be the best me that I could be to the people that I see every day. And how do you give those church people hope? Because right now, I feel like this is where people need it the most, right? Groceries are high, bills are high, people are not making money. They feel like it's a crazy world with everything that's going on. How do you give those people hope now? Man, I mean, the first answer that comes to mind is I keep giving them Jesus. But number two, one of the things that we focus on is what I'm talking about now, community.

A lot of people in our church, they are business owners, you know, they're entrepreneurs. And so within that community, if I can encourage everybody, okay, we're going to rally around each other. If you got a lawn service, we're going to use you. You know, those, I think we have to now, in this season, use strategy, even in the kingdom. Like, you've got to use strategy, even though, you know, we, we, we, we, we're going to use strategy. We trust God and he's going to be faithful and he's going to take care of us, but I still think we have to be wise with how we manage what God has entrusted us with. And so that's one of the things that we want to do. Just continue to build community, support one another, support each other's businesses, and I believe we'll thrive that way.

In the Bible, they call it an impartation. The sharing of something valuable. Yeah. Like giving of yourself. Yes. You find it like when you read about acts, there was this moment where people were like selling their goods. and they would bring all of the good, everything that they earned from the goods,

and that's how the community survived. Is that they would come to the church because people would bring all of their arms and their goods to the church, and the community survived in that way. Oh, good. You can go. Okay.

When you were just talking about community. Thank you. You was just talking about community. You were just talking about community. You're going to be the first lady. I saw that. Thank you. That's saying, don't justice.

I know. When I was okay, that's when I'm going to get on all this turmoil. Oh, my God. Yeah. Crazy. What you were saying about community, right? I always, like, find it, I don't know what it is, like, the youth will not willingly come to the church. Back when I was younger, we were more like, we did want to go. The only complaint that I had was church was too long, but I still wanted to go.

I still received the word. You know, my uncle, I went to my uncle's church. He's the best. And he was able to break it down in a way where everybody got it, right? I'm just trying to figure out what the disconnect is between the church and the young people. I go to church and I don't see young people. I was forced. I ain't going to front.

I was forced. Yeah, we had to go. Yeah, I was forced. You had to go. But why, though, because it was too long and it was born. Not because you just didn't want to go. You go on the church. You're going to sit in that back and you're going to shut that up.

But you know what, now I think that's... It's not the Dominican church, you're Baptist Church, you ask. I'm black, I'm not Dominican. But I do think that's missing, though. I don't think, like, we were made to go. I don't think a lot of, I think a lot of kids now are having, they get to choose. And I think sometimes, as parents, we have to, like, gauge it, like, manage our kids and what they're exposed to. So I do think some of the responsibility may be on the parent, parental figure in their lives.

but I think church has changed a little bit too because you have different options for teenagers like at our church so our teens they participate in worship and then we release them to their own thing so they get taught they have different games stuff that they play when they go out like we had Sunday school

and all that kind of stuff now they actually have children's church so a lot of times what I'm finding even in our church is now kids are being drawn to just different styles of worship now let me tell you this kids these days don't want fluff they don't want all the religious fluffy they want a real God you know and a lot of times

we have to bring that to them like okay all of that other religious stuff that we were taught we got to take give them just the meat they want the meat of who God is and I think they'll really pursue it much better like I have two teenage well she's not a teenager or more we have a 23 old and I have a 19 year old and some of the questions that they ask us just about God it's it's total is much more mature than some of the questions I would have asked at 19 because they're exposed to so much more

and I feel like we have to take the fluff off and just give them like the meat of who God is and that's what they really want and I think having it rooted in real life experiences like how your album is like when I listen to Pastor Torre or Sarah Jakes Roberts or Bishop T.D. Jakes when they're preaching it's rooted in something real

that's actually going on that we're dealing with and here are the scriptures that can help you get something they can relate to. You got this on church with John Legend you talk about Teach me how to church on a Monday Yeah. Break that down for us. So I feel like there are people, when I went into this album, one of the things that I wanted to do, I remember Kirk Franklin, Mary Mary, back in the day, they used to have these songs where I was like, I don't want the person who just got saved Sunday to miss out. I want to give them something they can relate to.

And the truth is they may come to church and they may not understand everything. Like, they may not understand the church lingo and what we're doing. But they can understand lyrics that says, okay, God, I love what I felt Sunday, but teach me how to get that in my house today. teach me how to feel you teach me how to pray teach me how to love on you and build a personal relationship with you today so that's where that

song came from because the preacher ain't gonna be in your house you ain't gonna have a keyboard player there like how do I build relationship with God on my day to day and that's what that song is about and you're day to day because on your first song on the album I needed God or I need God you talk about

dealing with like social media comments and like the internet and I've never thought about gospel people dealing with comments because y'all are so, like, I know Chris Franklin gets a lot of pushback, but he's never talked about comments and being in the comments. When I heard that, I'm like, I wonder what she deals with on a day-to-day, just like,

all right, I see y'all, leave me alone. Like, how, what is your experience like with that? Everybody has an opinion about everything. And sometimes... What nasty can they say in the comments, though? Oh, they do. You pray every day.

Oh, no. They talk about your clothes. They talk about your hair. They talk about, you know, just everything. It's the same. And I guess, It's the platforms that have been given through social media. You have to manage you.

You have to, you know, it could be good. It could be bad depending on how people use it. And sometimes, we're human. You know, you get in the comments and you're like, wait a minute. You know, because it's like you're focusing on, okay, so one of the last things that happened with me, I wore a red outfit to the Stella Award. It was amazing. I love that outfit, y'all. Reds out.

The people was like, oh, she sold her soul to the devil. Dang. The color of red. I'm like, what in the world? The blood of Jesus? I mean, I could not believe it. And so I literally had to just take a moment away from social media because I'm like, y'all missed the whole moment. It was like, this is on television.

Millions of people are going to be watching. I had an opportunity just to spread the word of Jesus. And y'all talking about my clothes? You know, it's, it's. So you're right. I have to just kind of pull away sometimes and refocus on what my calling is and who I'm called to. Yeah. Well, speaking of calling, when did you first realize that the ministry God gave you wasn't just about singing, but about impart.

That's a good question. I love this. So my dad was a pastor, so they're calling me a P.K. And he started a pastor when I was 10 years old. And I came from a family of singer. So everybody sang all of my aunts, all my cousins, everybody. And I wasn't like be singer in the family. My dad actually was cultivating me to be a speaker, like a communicator.

So my first sermon, I preached it when I was 10 years old. And I wasn't really singing on a stage like that. But I grew up in a small town called Jessup, Georgia, and we were bored. So we started like this teenage choir. Everybody, it was like 50 of us. We had band singers, all that kind of stuff. And we were singing a Kirk Franklin song, Now Behold the Lamb by Tamil Man. And the lead singer could not make it.

not make it. He got a minor, fender bender, couldn't make it to the concert. So everybody was like, Tasha, Tasha, you got to sing yet. I was like, guys, I don't sing in front of people. What's wrong with y'all? So needless to say, I ended up singing the song that night. And just like people do now, when I open my eyes, people were crying. They were in the floor in worship. I'm looking at my dad. Like, okay, this ain't what we've been doing. This is different. They're looking back at me. And I think we realized at that moment that the singing and the songs would be an avenue that would be used for me to also get the gospel to people.

So it wasn't like a dream either. I just loved like I just said, I love singing in church. I love building the choir. That was my thing. So I was never a dream to be on like major platforms. I just loved being in church. Like I got disciplined by not being able to go to church. Like what you talk about? I was

one of the kids who was on the front row. I'm there early. I loved church. So for for this, for me to have the platforms that I have now, it's just something new. It's not something that I dreamed about I thought about I just love to sing

I love to worship and I love God's work You talk about your dad And I know you have your son do it anyway On the project And I can't imagine how emotional That was for you recording that song Because I know it's based off A lot of life lessons you give you

In your book Yep yep So talk about you know Deciding to put that on this album And get the process of like writing it And recording it What that was like for you emotionally Yeah

When I wrote the book I wrote it off of my dad's the last thing that he taught me, the last lesson that he left with me. We were on the way to the Stellars. I just released a song, Break Every Chain, and I was nominated for several awards, and my dad

was an old school pastor, so for him to leave on a Sunday, it meant the world to me. So my dad and my mom came to Nashville, and they had like this catwalk that year, and my song was positioned in the middle of the room, and he was literally probably three seats away from me. And I could see,

him just beaming from ear to ear. But leading up to going to the Stellars, the Grammys were seven days later. And he kept saying, Dad is going to be with you in Nashville. I'm not going to L.A., but I want you to go anyway. Like, we're thinking, okay, nobody ever thought she was going to L.A. And I thought that's why he was saying that. So he showed up in Nashville. And on the way, I won three awards that night. And the last picture I have of him is him holding my awards up getting on the elevator. He was getting on the elevator and said, Dad, oh, wait a minute, let me stop you

and take a picture. Let me see. The backstory is my daddy paid for my independent project with his full savings. He spent his whole savings. And so for years, he kept saying, when does the executive produce to get his money back? That was his ongoing joke. So I promised him that if I ever I'm investigative journalist Melissa Jeltson. My new podcast, What Happened in Nashville, tells the story of an IVF clinic's catastrophic collapse and the patients who banded together in the chaos that followed. We have some breaking news to tell you about. Tennessee's attorney general is suing a Nashville doctor.

In April 2024, a fertility clinic in Nashville shut down overnight and trapped behind locked doors were more than a thousand frozen embryos. I was terrified. Out of all of our journey, that was the worst moment ever. At that point, it didn't occur to me what fight was going to come to follow. But this story isn't just about a few families' futures. It's about whether the promise of modern fertility care can be trusted at all. It doesn't matter how much I fight, doesn't matter how much I cry over all of this.

It doesn't matter how much justice we get. None of it's going to get me pregnant. Listen to what happened in Nashville on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Two brothers, one devout household, two radically different paths. Gabe Ortiz became one of the highest-ranking law enforcement officers in Texas. 32 years, total law enforcement experience.

You're going to push that line for the cause. Took us under his wing and showed us. us the game, as they call it.

When Larry is murdered, Gabe is forced to confront the past he tried to leave behind and uncover secrets he never saw coming. My dad had a whole other life that we never knew about.

So that night he took those three stellar awards home and he was so, so, so, so proud. The next morning, he had a heart attack in the car and he died with my mom in the car, but he saved her life.

Like, even in that, it was just, the story is just absolutely amazing. You're like telling it or? Oh, for sure, yeah. So my mom and my dad, they dated since she was 13 years. They were the only two they ever been with. And in the car. So, you know, my father had the heart attack immediately.

They're basically saying that he passed away. But even in death, he lifted his foot up off of the gas. And, you know, gravity is going to make you press the gas harder. He was driving. He was driving. He lifted his foot up off the gas while he was having a heart attack. And the car just kind of floated into a ditch so that my mom wasn't harmed at all. And she was able to get out and just run across the street and say, hey, I think my husband's

having a heart attack. I think he's having a heart attack. And in that moment, my dad used to always say, if I ever get a glimpse of God's glory, I'm not coming back. So that's how I think like he's, like, he ain't coming back. He's not coming back. But I remember him saying, baby, daddy's not going to be with you in L.A., but I want you to go anyway.

And in that, I believe that he was teaching me that life is going to get hard. Your heart is going to be broken. You're not going to understand the seasons that you're in, but Daddy wants you to dig deep and do it anyway. Whatever you feel like God has called you to do. And so that was the last lesson that he left with me. How old me?

My father was 54. Oh, he was young man. He was young, yep. He was a great man. Yeah, he got paid back. And he said, I'm gonna take this glimpse. I got my pay it back.

He said, what is executive producer get his money back? Why didn't pay your daddy? You know what? I didn't have it to pay him. I was trying. He would not have taken it. Yeah, I was trying, y'all. Now, you've always been transparent about, like, therapy and healing and doing the inner work.

What do you feel the faith community still misunderstands about mental health? Oh, my goodness. You know, I think there's a greater focus on it than there has been in the past. And I feel like many people who have platforms are talking about it more like you were just mentioning Sarah. Sarah is very adamant about pushing, like with her woman evolved. They talk about it all the time. We always have therapists there. She's a good friend of mine.

And I feel like more people are being open. about it it wasn't just it was something that was just kind of taboo you know because we got the holy ghost you know god's going to help with everything and i think now we can just kind of um teach it a little different that god uses people to help us you know most of the time what you will find when god is going to do something in the earth he's going to use a man to do a person to do it and so i feel like there's a greater um emphasis on it we could do better you know you have therapists like Kobe Campbell she's absolutely amazing if you never heard of you y'all got

to go just kind of read some of the stuff that she does you know she's absolutely amazing so you have a lot of God-centered kingdom therapists who are being exposed now and I think that's yes oh my goodness yeah and so

you have a lot more of that that can be trusted and they're relevant like we were saying you know it's like they know the language but they also have the education to help you manage like your mental health. And I think it's great. I think it's a lot more exposure. We can do better, but I think we're getting good at it. When did you know you needed it? Like, you know, if you're a faith person, you believe God is enough. When you know, I need it,

I need some therapy too. Yep. I remember, man. It was about 2010 and I was actually a worship leader at my church. And I would go to church and I would like sing these songs just like I was just talking about and watch people be healed, watch them have moments in the presence of God. And I would go home for like three and four days in the dark under the covers crying didn't understand why just you know just heavy and I remember one night it just got

so heavy my cousin was my roommate and she was like Tasha I got to go like it's you could feel it in my house you know and I remember probably after she loved maybe two nights later I just woke up in the middle of light like I got to do something about this like I can't I can't continue

to offer hope and inspire people and I'm in this dark place every day. There has to be more. You know, for me, going to therapy, mine was self-rejection. I dealt with rejection very bad. I was, you know, we celebrate, oh, Tasha got in trouble because she didn't want to go to church, this is, but along with that was the, um, the persona of perfection. Like, I adopted this perfection. I remember being 10 years old and one of the deacons from my church would come to me and say, hey, my son is in your class, make sure he's doing his homework. Can you imagine the weight of responsibility a 10 year old has to take on? And so I adopted

this thing like I can't have any flaws. I can't have any issues. I got to be perfect. And so I hit my flaws for years. And that went into adulthood. And it just turned into this darkness. Like I can't accept who I am because I don't think people will accept it. I don't think they'll love me. You know, I don't think they want me. And so mine was really birth from self-rejection. Did you have a question your faith? Like all the things that you've been talking about that you went through and I see all the things that you wrote on your album cover the words which I love it is you love you ate that down fire did you know what and it wasn't during those times that I was just talking about it was actually more recent my husband and I went through a miscarriage and in that time you know I was like man God I spend my life worshiping you I spend my life inspiring and teaching the gospel of Jesus and the one thing that I really wanted was the one thing that I did not get and I spent my life inspiring and I spent my life inspiring and teaching the gospel of Jesus and the one thing that I did not get and I remember walking through that season I questioned you know my faith was

shattered I remember calling my mentor William Murphy and I said man my faith is shattered right now and he was like good that's a perfect place for God to put you back together and I was like of course you don't want to hear that right now I'm like okay we don't want this lesson right now but it was the truth that during that

season I realized just how weak my faith was that hey it's the one thing that you wanted but God wants to do it differently I have a friend who her name is Jackie Green she says this. She was like, we often want God's will. You know, we want the promises. We want the prophecies and we want the blessings. But we don't stick around to hear his way. And God's way for us was adoption. You know, we have a beautiful baby boy. His name is Asher. He's four

years old. And he looks like us, acts like us. He's a perfect fit to our family. And it was God's way, not our way. And when I, you know, when I relinquish that, like thinking, it has to be done this way and I allow God to do it his way. You know, my faith was, it's so much stronger. You know, so much stronger. When you think about your father, God bless the dead, you think about like miscarriages, how is grief shifted

the way you minister to people? Oh, my gosh. I love this question because a lot of times we minister from a place like we just want to, you know, I just want to, my songs to be rooted in scripture, rooted in scripture, but sometimes we also have to

have cultural intelligence about the people that we're ministering to like there are people who are dealing with grief for real and they don't want the fluff like we were just talking about they want the honesty and so for me it kind of shifted my approach and ministry that I'm thinking there are people though there may be thousands of people out here in this arena or wherever I am but they are dealing with real grief real heartbreak and they don't want a false Tasha you know they don't want the fake this is just a pretty song they want somebody who's going to reach their heart you know and what comes from my heart, I believe, will reach their heart. And so, yeah, those experiences really changed the

way that I minister. I remember after my dad died, about two weeks later, I had a concert, because I canceled everything for about two weeks, and I was in LA, standing on a stage, and I remember just being heartbroken, and people are still worshiping, you know, they still with their hands lifted, but I'm on the stage destroyed. Like, my heart is broken. And a song from my childhood came back to me in the song you know it says I'll say yes Lord yes to your will and to your way I'll say yes Lord yes

I will trust you and obey and then it says when your spirit speaks to me and I change the lyric right there on the stage with my broken heart I'll still agree and my answer will be yes Lord yes and in that moment I realized that my gift

wasn't just for the crowd that it was also for me like in those broken moments God gave me a gift that would help usher me through different seasons too. We appreciate you for joining us. We've got to close out with the prayer, though. Okay. Am I praying?

Yes, ma'all? You don't know that. No, what you said is the women of God right here. I do, but Jesus going to ignore, I pray that. We're going to write. Oh, my God. This is Christ between sin us. And that ring, baby.

Oh, thank you. Hello. All right. All right. DeLore, thank you. Thank you for being good. Thank you for being faithful in every season. I thank you even for this platform for all four of these amazing people who spread inspiration,

who use their gifts and their talents just to help other people and to just be God in the earth. God, I thank you for the opportunity to talk about you, to millions and millions of people, to anyone who may be listening, to any way who may have. have heard who may be in a space of grief, you know, a space of depression, God, I ask now that you would show yourself to them in a special way today. In Jesus' name, you be glorified. Amen. Amen. Yes. Tasha Cove. Let it. It's the breakfast club. Good morning. Thank you. Amen. That's right. Well, let's get to the latest with Lauren. Lauren becoming a straight face. Tell us. She gets into somebody that knows somebody. She gets the detail. I'm the home girl that

knows a little bit about everything. She'd be having the latest on this. I'm sorry. They have the bings. The latest with Lauren La Rosa. Sometimes you have facts. Sometimes you have details. Sometimes you have a little bit everything. What is the latest? On the breakfast club.

Talk to me. All right, y'all. So more news out of the power sessions, which was our sold-out concert that we did here in New York City. I told you guys that Mariah the Science has performed. But she also sat down with Angie Martinez right before her performance, before we introduced her and talked a bit about what she wants her future to look like. Let's take a listen.

And in the next five years, you say, I want to settle down, but I still want to work. What does that mean? What does that mean? Like, babies and everything? I want to be married. Okay. And I want to have. Did everybody get the memo on that? I hope so. And listen, that's my plan. Okay. I can't speak for everybody. That's my plan, though. That's what you're doing. That's what I'm doing. You know, but besides that, I still definitely feel like babies.

You want a lot of kids? I want a baby. Are you like a big family girl? Like, you want a lot of kids? Well, I only have one sibling, my sister. She's my manager. So what are you thinking right away? I'm about to get to it, like after the, like after you leave here, go get to it? Or you want to do marriage first? You want to do marriage first?

I want to be married first. Yes. I really do because I don't know. Maybe I just want a commitment that doesn't involve an obligation to a baby. You know, I just want it to be like out of love, not out of responsibility. Yeah, I feel that. I feel that. What the hell is that background?

music. It's because in our edit that we have on the YouTube clip, they added like some festive, I guess, like wintertime music under the interview. Oh, driving a clue to the mom's for Angie Martinez. By the way, I know Peter's not going to like this, but that fur Angie was wearing was fire. Actually, she said it on our stream. Make sure you check out

the Breakfast Club's Twitch account. She said that the fur was not real because she didn't want Peter to be on her. But it looked it was a great grade of faux fur. You know, the funny thing is, I'm an only child like, I didn't have many siblings. I had no siblings, but because of that, I wanted so many damn kids.

Because I was an only child. They didn't have nobody to play with. Let me drop on a clue, Bob, for any. Let me tell you something about that man there. I thought about it. I wasn't about to say the R word, but that's our little re-reel. Why?

Why are you saying that? As a child, I didn't have many siblings. I didn't have any siblings. That's what I meant. You had siblings. I was the only child, I was the only child, so I didn't have many siblings. I didn't have any siblings. I didn't have many siblings.

I changed that. I had cousins that were like brothers to me, but I didn't have, I was an only child, so I wanted many kids. That's okay, and I understand what you mean. I mix up my words, too. But yeah, shout out to Mariah the scientists. What? Nothing!

Shout out to Mariah the scientist. And just that clip, I thought it was nice to hear her talk about love, especially after, like, you know, just the year that we've seen her have, and she's actually a super sweet person. We did a give back at the Boys and Girls Club in Jersey over the weekend as well, too. Yeah, so moving right along,

How many little thugs she said she wanted? Just one? I think she said she wanted to start. Yeah, she said she wanted to start with the one and then just kind of see where it goes from there. But it just sounds like she's ready to, you know, have a family. But get some, get the marriage first. The ladies is, the ladies is speaking that they want families.

The rest of the show she wants a baby too, and she's going to have one, 226. I know that's right. Yeah, she said next year has happened. She's been saying that for a few, the whole year, ever since she met Pat. Yeah, I know. But she said it the other day, like crystal clear, like it's already baking or something. Like, yeah, I'm going to.

I'm going to have a baby. She ain't say I'm going to be pregnant. She said, I'm going to have a baby in 2026. Well, she has a fight that she just announced. So I hope that nothing is baking yet. But in other news, so we talked about the Boys Mind tour and the fact that they finished in Florida yesterday. I reached out because I was just wondering how many fans

because we were talking about all the sold-out arenas and all the things, right, with their tour. And I was told I spoke to the head of communications for the Black Promoters Collective, who put the tour on 330,000 fans across the country came out for the duration of this full tour. They did 32 cities and they ended in Florida as we

mentioned yesterday. So shout out to everybody that came out to support them. Michelle Obama, Jay-Z, Beyonce, Miss Elliott. I saw the Trina took the stage in Florida as well too. Yep, yep. And shout up to me and you. We went. Oh, we were there. We had a time. We were special guests. We were fun. We did have a time.

And wrapping up, congratulations to Mariah Carey. She now has the record of longest running number one song on the Billboard Hot 100 list. This is history. As long as there's Christmas, that song is always going to do it.

All I went for Christmas is there. Yeah, so it just spent this 20th week at number one. It took the record, or took over the number one reign from Lina's X in Shibuzi. And she talked a bit about what this means to her. Let's take a listen to her talking to Billboard. With the 20th week at number one, breaking the record for the longest running number one song on the Hot 100 is Mariah Carey's All I won for Christmas is you.

Yay! Mind-blown, how do you feel about breaking that record? It's amazing, honestly. It really is. I can't lie. You've got incredible, have this record with One Sweet Day, and then it was taken for me for a second. It was robbed of me.

How did you feel in that moment with Lil Nazex? And then, of course, Shabuzi ended up, you know, breaking the record for the time that they did. did. I was upset, but what are you going to do? Well, what you're going to do is have a classic Christmas song that returns to number one every year. That's what you're going to do. So, did you know that all I want for Christmas is you would be this for you? No, I had no idea. That just became such a thing that I never could have predicted it, ever. Mariah sounded like she don't even know it's Christmas.

No, I think she's a little tired. She's been doing her Christmas show over in Vegas. But she looks so good. Yo, did you see Rihanna screaming from the mountain tops, baby? Yes. She loves Mariah down. But Mariah looks really good. She does. But she says at the end of this interview, she's like, I mean, it's Christmas and I'm doing

these shows, but I just can't wait to get home and do my own Christmas. And at the end of her closing for this Vegas show, she's like, this is our last show. Hallelujah, thank God, amen. So, yeah, I think that, you know, I think she's ready. But she's going to have to do it again at the Olympics. She just announced that. All right. Her and Mary J. Blach, Tide, man.

Drop on the clues bottom from Mariah Cabin. They've been carrying this game on their back for a long time, okay? Let them get their rest, please. No, Merge Blige Blige ain't tired. Baby is asleep. She'd be like, look, look, look, look, look, look, y'all bought tickets for y'all to say. I ain't doing it.

All right. Well, thank you, Lori. She did the best she came with what she got. What she got. Shalabang, we give me that donkey, too. Before after the hour, we need President Donald J. Trump to come to the front of the congregation. We'd like to have a word with him this morning. Lord Jesus, sir.

What? I might not be here in nowhere. So you might go out. Facts. I like that energy. Facts. All right. Let's go in.

Let's go in. Oh, Lord, Lauren. But where you go in? Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States. Wouldn't you love to see one of these NFL owners when somebody disrespects our flag to say, get that son of a bitch off the field right now out. He's fired. He's fired!

He's fired! So, please step up. Please step up to the congregation. Yes, you are a doubt. When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best. They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists.

These are jackass. Yeah, it's talking today for Tuesday, December 16th, goes to the 47th president of the United States of America, Donald J. Trump. Now, if you haven't heard, film director Rob Reiner and his wife, Michelle, were brutally murdered. Their son, Nick Reiner, is currently being head. held on murder charges, accused of stabbing them to death, slitting their throats just horrendous on all levels, man. People say their son was troubled. He may have been dealing with mental health issues. Folks are saying they overheard Rob and Nick arguing at a party and the son was acting bizarre.

Listen, I am sure that folks will be trying to figure out the why to this tragedy for a while, but the why isn't what we are here to discuss this morning. What we are here to discuss this morning is the hypocrisy of President Donald J. Trump. See, when the news of Rob Reiner's murder came out, got on true social and said something that just simply didn't need to be said. Let's go to NBC News for the report, please. The horrific murders of Rob Reiner and his wife, Michelle Reiner, is sending shockwaves through Hollywood and Washington, D.C.

Oh boy. Reiner will forever be remembered as a TV and film icon, but he was also active politically, an outspoken critic of President Trump. Trump's comments come after he wrote this incendiary post on truth social earlier in the morning. Claiming the couple who were brutally murdered in their own home, quote, passed away because of anger Reiner caused with his outspoken criticism of Trump. The post sparked immediate and intense backlash, this time from inside his own party. I think President Trump should have said nothing. When someone is murdered, we should show him and his family respect.

You think? That's the bare minimum. How do you turn someone's tragic murder? into politically motivated violence. He's making it seem like Rob and his wife, Michelle, got killed because of Rob's feelings towards him. Why would you stint to yourself at the heart of a tragedy like this? Why would you even want to put out there that someone would or could be killed for their opinion of you? What are you saying about your followers and supporters

that they would kill someone because that person doesn't like you? Okay. What are you signaling to your followers that it's okay to take? take out anyone who disagrees with you also i know rob was very heavy in the politics and very vocal uh you know about his opposition to trump but the reality is don't trump you're the president you didn't have to say anything about this if you didn't want to rob rider is not a politician he's a film director public condolences from you would have been nice but not necessary so you volunteered this information for no reason and then doubled down when asked about it let's go

back to mbc news to hear it a number of republicans have denounced your statement on true social after the murder of Rob Reiner. Do you stand by that post? Well, I wasn't a fan of his at all. He was a deranged person as far as Trump is concerned. He said he liked he knew it was false. In fact, it's the exact opposite that I was a friend of Russia controlled by Russia. You know, it was the Russia hooks. He was one of the people behind it. I think he heard himself in career wise. He became like a deranged person, Trump derangement syndrome. So I was not a fan of Rob Reiner at all in any way, shape, or form. I thought he was very bad for our country.

No, I'm not shocked. Is it disgusting? Yes. Appalling, yes. But this is who Donald Trump is. Folks keep waiting for him to be presidential. That's not who and what he is. Okay, he is the former executive producer, Celebrity Apprentice.

All right, he's a reality show start. It would never be any coof there. Okay, a position doesn't make the person, all right? Just because you are president doesn't mean you will ever be presidential. Okay, you can change the top layer, but Trump was who he was before he got here. Not to mention, he told us he doesn't wish the best for his opponents. Let's not forget this, remember? Over the last 11 days, we have heard stories of commentators, influencers, and others in our society who greeted his assassination with sick approval, excuses, or even jubilation.

The man wasn't even buried. Oh, no, that's not what I'm looking for. I'm going to get to that part. Hold, stop, stop, stop. I want him when he said, uh, I want when he said, uh, uh at charlie kirk's memorial when he said that he doesn't wish the best for his opponents we don't have that we have that yeah play that charlie kirk truly was he was a missionary with a noble spirit and a great great purpose he did not hate his opponents he wanted the best for them that's where

i disagreed with charlie i hate my opponent and i don't want the best for them i'm sorry i am sorry Erica, but now Erica can talk to me and the whole group, and maybe they can convince me that that's not right, but I can't stand my opponent. Hey, man, he is who he is. Okay, when somebody tells you who they all believed him, okay, Donald Trump has no problem

going to hell on his opposition. Can't be too shocked when somebody like that plays limbo with Lucifer, okay? But I was born in 1978, and I remember when Charlie Kirk got killed, Maga and the right crucified what they called radical left lunatics for speaking about Charlie Kirk's

death or celebrating Charlie Kirk's death, the exact way Trump just spoke about Rob. So for me, if it's one thing I can't stand is a lack of consistency and hypocrisy. I'm okay what you change in your mind. I'm okay with you being who you are. That's perfectly fine. But to become what you once condemned to

display the exact same behavior you told us was wrong that you were willing to deport people over, oh, we got to call it out. Now we can play the compilation, right? Over the last 11 days, we have heard stories of commentators influences and others in our society who greeted his assassination with sick approval,

excuses or even jubilation. The man wasn't even buried yet, and Democrat members of Congress were denigrating his memory. Many Democrats in elective office have now been totally captured by a radical fringe of the far-left base who want to dehumanize every person they disagree with. We must continue to call this wickedness out. Some of the very same people who spent the last eight. eight years trying to sit in moral judgment of anyone who disagreed with them about politics suddenly started cheering for a murder.

Rob Reiner and his wife, Michelle, aren't even buried yet. So call your president out, okay? The only thing worse than a liar is a liar that's also a hypocrite. Trump and his administration, they're both. And if you are a Republican who is not condemning this behavior after criticizing people for celebrating the death of Charlie Kirk, then you are a liar and a hypocrite too, okay? Representative Stephanie Rice of Oklahoma said we should be lifting the family up in prayer, not making this about politics.

Representative Mike Lawler, Republican from New York called Trump's remarks about Ryan or wrong in a statement. He said it's a horrible tragedy that should engender sympathy and compassion from everyone in the country, period. Those are the kinds of statements Republicans should be making in regards to their leader. Okay, that's it. Anything else is truly uncivilized, not to mention. Does Donald Trump know what happened to Rob can happen to anyone? know he got secret service and all the security in the world, but Rob got killed by his son, someone close to him snapping, flipping out. That could sadly happen to any of us. So you

have to be very careful with that kind of energy, because it can come back to you, okay? Hypocrisy is the audacity to preach integrity from a den of corruption. In America, I hate to tell you, but this president is indeed the leader of a den of corruption. Please give Donald Trump the biggest he all I go subscribe to my YouTube is C-the-G-G-A-G-O-D you play too much I just go to my just go please

I'm all that's going on I'm investigative journalist Melissa Jeltson my new podcast What Happened in Nashville tells the story of an IVF clinic's catastrophic collapse and the patients who banded together in the chaos that followed

We have some breaking news to tell you about. Tennessee's Attorney General is suing a Nashville doctor. In April 2024, a fertility clinic in Nashville shut down overnight and trapped behind locked doors were more than a thousand frozen embryos. I was terrified. Out of all of our journey, that was the worst moment ever. At that point, it didn't occur to me what fight was going to come to follow. But this story isn't just about a few families' futures.

It's about whether the promise of modern fertility care can be trusted at all. It doesn't matter how much I fight. It doesn't matter how much I cry over all of this. It doesn't matter how much justice we get. None of it's going to get me pregnant. Listen to what happened in Nashville on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, I'm Nora Jones, and I love playing music with people so much that my podcast called Playing Along is back. I sit down with musicians from all musical stuff.

to play songs together in an intimate setting. Every episode's a little different, but it all involves music and conversation with some of my favorite musicians. Over the past two seasons, I've had special guests like Dave Grohl, Lave, Mavis Staples, Remy Wolf, Jeff Tweedy, really too many to name.

And this season, I've sat down with Black Pumas, Alessia Kara, Sarah McLaughlin, and more. Check out my new episode with John Legend. I feel like in a lot of ways our careers are paralleled in some ways, but they just never intersected for some reason. I know. Listen to take it slow.

We're just ordinary people. We don't know which way to go. Listen to Nora Jones is playing along on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Who would you call if the unthinkable happened? I'd just fail and start a screaming. If you lost someone you loved in the most horrific way. I said through you got 22 times. The police, right?

But what if the person you're supposed to go to for help is the one you're the most afraid of? This dude is the devil. He's a snake. He'll hurt you. I'm Nikki Richardson, and this is The Girlfriends, Untouchable. Detective Roger Goloopsky spent decades intimidating and sexually abusing black women across Kansas City,

using his police badge to scare them into silence. This is the story of a detective who seemed above the law until we came together to take him down. I told Roger Galooski, I said, you're going to see my face till the day that you die. Listen to the girlfriends, Untouchable, on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

Dad had the strong belief that the devil was attacking us. Two brothers, one devout household, two radically different paths. Gabe Ortiz became one of the highest-ranking law enforcement officers in Texas. 32 years, total law enforcement experience. But his brother Larry, he stayed behind and built an entirely different legacy. He was the head of this gang, and nobody was going to tell him what to do. You're going to push that line for the cause. Took us under his wing and showed us.

us the game, as they call it. When Larry is murdered, Gabe is forced to confront the past he tried to leave behind and uncover secrets he never saw coming. My dad had a whole other life that we never knew about. Like, my mom started screaming my dad's name, and I just heard one gunshot. The Brothers Ortiz is a gripping true story about faith, family, and how two lives can drift so far apart and collide in the most devastating way.

now let's open up the phone lines I was having a conversation with my pops the other day and we were talking about the worst holiday experiences

and I'm gonna tell you why 800585151 the worst holiday experience or Christmas experience that you could think of so when my dad when I was a lot younger my dad was a police officer

he got chest pain so he thought he was having a heart attack right the day before Christmas and all I wanted was an aircraft carrier a G.I. Joe couldn't afford it

but when my dad thought he was dying he bought it immediately of course he didn't pass thank God so talking about the worst holiday experiences that happened to you also two years ago if you ever had to build toys for your kids or a dollhouse or a Barbie house

you know they have them plastic things on it that's like really really tight and hard to pop off he heard me say really tight and hard to pop off he got excited I said nothing what's wrong with you I used the knife to pop off the plastic tab and I cut my finger and had to get 12 stitches on my finger

the night of Christmas and I was in emergency room Christmas. Should have got one stitch per day, 12 days of Christmas. By the end of the 12th of Christmas you'd have been good. Oh, shut up. So we're asking 800 585151. What was your worst Christmas experience? The worst thing that happened that you was like, this is just horrible.

That's what we're asking this morning. I'm trying to figure out what the first story you told. Who was it the worst experience for? Because you said your dad? My dad. I mean, I was happy because I got the G.I. Joe, but my dad thought he was having a heart attack. I thought you was trying to say that your dad was mad. He bought you to G.I. Joe. He only bought that because he was dying.

He could have saved his money. I'm sure he wasn't mad after. I'm sure he wanted his money back. But it was one of those things where he thought he was having a heart attack. He thought he wasn't going to make it. So he was like, I just want to see my son happy. We can't afford it, but I'm going to buy it. I'm shocked you play with G.I. Joe's you said, you scraked me as a barbie girl.

Living in a Barbie world? Yes. Don't he? Yes. His father went to put it down. No. Definitely not back there. No, no.

He'd call me all types of 90 slurs back. God deal. But anyway, 800-585105. 1. I know my pops and listening. Good morning, pops. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Tell me.

Maybe. If y'all talking about it, you know we're talking about it. It's topic time. Call 800-585-105-1 to join in to the discussion with the Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's D.E.J. N.J. J.S.

Was that one of the worst ones? Damn, like, I was going to be talking about that. Like, you know, I don't, I do not always be talking about that.

But, yes, that was the worst Christmas for me. My son was like four, four or five, I think. And we ain't have no lights or nothing, and I had to steal everything. But those were the days I was getting down. I was hitting all of them stores, Nordstrom, Reg, T.J. Max, Ross, everything. Burlington, like all them little stores, straight up. And you never got caught?

Hell no. I ain't get caught until I started. I'm stealing from like out of the registered McDonald's or when I did the credit cards games. That was the worst of my life. All right. Okay, all right. But yeah, I was down real bad, but I'm not nailed out.

Now, what about you, Mr. Jehovah Witness? You answer your question. Don't disrespect me, the religion I grew up on. Okay, I grew up Jehovah Witness, so we never celebrated holidays. Hey, that must suck. When you come back to school and everybody's, talk about the gifts they got you just got to be like I got no you know so interesting my dad always like I always had what everybody else had so it didn't matter like you know what I mean

The mustard seed is strong, ladies. That's right. That must receive it strong. What you're doing this year for Christmas, Mama, for the kids and all that?

Well, because of my ailment, I'm not able to really work that much. much, but we're just going to fellowship with family and friends. Yeah, it's not about the material. It's not about the material thing. I'm just trying to keep my kids humble. And whatever they get, that's what they get. What's your cash at, Mama?

I'm going to throw something in your cash app to help you with your, a little something to help you a little bit. Remember the reason for the season. Look at God bless you. It's dollar sign, capital, N, O, R, M-A, L-I-E, the last name is capital, and then it's a K.

You blessed me this morning just because I love people who have the type of faith that you have, man. Because, you know, a lot of times they say if you put your problems next to somebody else

is you'll snatch yours back. You know? Right. Yeah. Exactly. Exactly. God bless you, K-K. Absolutely. Thank you. I appreciate that. No, K-K-K, can you just make sure you got it right fast? because I want to make sure I ain't sent it to the wrong person. I got a bad habit of sending.

Oh, okay. Hold on. Give me two seconds. I'm going to send two because I want to make sure I'm sending the right one first. What if she got another care in front of her name and we don't know it and it's KKK? But look, what if, oh, my God. What if she was like, oh, did she just send me $10? Oh.

I ain't sent a KKK. I don't see it yet. All right. Well, somebody got blessed this morning and don't you take it back in me. You blessed out. Okay. That's why I just send praise. Okay.

Because he never sent you money before, so sometimes you got to accept it from new contact. Oh, yeah, we do.

He's so stupid. He couldn't wait, man. This guy, man. Oh, man. Oh, 300. What's the matter of story, man? The more of the story is, it's a depressing-ass topic, Envy.

It's not a depressing topic, man. This is a good topic, and I love to see how all of us have persevered. All right. This guy's crazy. All right. Let's get to the latest with Lauren.

Lauren becoming a straight fact. Tell her, man. She gets them from somebody that knows somebody. She gets to detail. I'm a home girl that knows a little bit about everything. She'd be having the latest on this. She'd be having the latest on this.

The latest with Lauren LaRosa Sometimes you have facts Sometimes you have details Sometimes you have a little bit everything Well it's the latest On the breakfasts Talk to me All right y'all

So just a quick Update of something that I just found On Instagram I wanted to make sure I mentioned this Because we talked about Russell Simmons and Comorley Simmons In the back and forth earlier This morning on the show

So there's a clip On Russell Simmons' Instagram That he posted four days ago In the caption Well first of all the clip is from their e-show back in the fab lane that they have now and the clip is about

Aoki Lee who is his daughter talking about living and Bali are just not eating American food since she's moved and the caption that he put up says proud of my kids proud of what they've become hashtag Bali living I do have to admit Aoki living here is a blessing so I'm trying to figure out now

and I've called you know my source close to Camor because I'm trying to figure out like I know we've seen Ayoki and like you know we've seen her there but she's living there it kind of changes everything that I was told in the beginning so I just wanted to make sure I put that out there just to present both sides

why don't you care so much I think people are just invested so much that's their family who cares if she lives in Bali if she lives in the States I mean when you have she's older than 21 but when you have one side you know saying you know I don't get to see my kid or you're keeping your kid my kid away and then

another side saying I'm not keeping the kid like because the kids are grown yeah the kids are grown and making their own decisions. I think people are just trying to figure out like what is the truth here. It's all been put out online so they're trying to figure out what the truth is here and what's going on. But in other news, so 50 cent is, we back at it again with 50 Cent

about this documentary. He is now going at it with Jim Jones and the guys over at the Rap About a podcast which is fabulous, Dave East and Mayno along with Jim Jones. Damn! What? New York's. Yeah, so they

were talking about on one of their episodes unauthorized releases and just giving their commentary on documentaries being unreleased without your authorization and 50 responded to that. Let's take a listen to their podcast episode. Documentary about you. You wanted to be a dope documentary. You got to be dope.

Show who you are, what you've done. What I don't know. You've accomplished. Like, yeah, documentary is a big thing. Like, you don't want to be doing a documentary about some, like, trying to just make your whole character look weak. Like, that's petty behavior. I don't want to know the company that did it so we can

talk you know I mean because if it's all me I need I mean I don't understand why that's like legal to do though Documentation is more like a mockumentry like that How can they even be called a document You could call a document when it's not When you become if you're If you have a figure in the news

You can be Google So do you think that it's wrong or not I'm not with it Yeah so in that episode And at that part of the their episode They do like different like topical things That they read and they just react to it And get their opinion on it

So unauthorized release with the topic there. So 50 cent posted and he says these guys are squatters. They owe $200, he alleges they owe $250,000 for the space they're filming their podcast. These bums are trying to win Best Dressed Award and can't

pay their bills and then it's a whole swipe through so you have the screenshot from the podcast. You have a screenshot of Jim Jones with an alleged report of something to do. I don't ever call somebody. You'll say these guys are squatters. That's what the caption says. And then he

Put the definition of a squad. Oh, if you didn't know, I mean, I know, but if you didn't know, 50 cent, put the AI overview definition. Individuals who occupy a property without legal title permission, or at least often in vacant or abandoned buildings, deferring from trespassers by intending to reside their long term while squatting is illegal. He also posted the clip, too, like a mashup of the clip, and he said, 50 cents said in the caption, I understand Diddy was your hero, stay down with him. I don't care if you let him play with your butt, then act like you do. don't remember. And I've been seeing, you know, Mayno posted and responded

and, you know, all that is going to the back of her if it's going to start now. Mayno posted a photo of 50 cent and said, Meet Killer Curly, ladies and gentlemen. He helped me get my record deal before, so I'm going to always be grateful. So it's going to hurt me to drag this inward to hell. F is the problem, Curtis.

What has your G-unit, G-string, and a bunch? Is it the, then he says the B-word, or the diabetes? But let's wrap about it. you know what's so interesting I mean outside of you know what they got going on 50 and you know Jim and Fab and

Mayno and Davies Davey's but you know what's so interesting about the 50 commentary for everybody saying a black man shouldn't be doing this to another black man how come we not having conversations about what Diddy did to other black people like when you watch that documentary every person on that documentary except for Aubrey O'Day

is black so how come nobody is saying black a black man shouldn't do that to other black people because here's There are things we know did he did because we saw it and there are things he's being accused of. We don't know if they're true. But either way, majority of people who are accusing him or something are black. So I don't understand why, you know, there's not more conversations about that. But everybody's so, oh, 50 cents shouldn't be doing this to another black man.

What about all the black people did he did and allegedly did stuff too? Yeah, and then they'd be acting like he made stuff up, right? Yes. And like, I've heard about a lot of this before the doc came out. It was just that the doc was like, damn, like to actually see it in a documentary, putting it all together, it's like, damn, the clarity. Can't nobody make, yeah, you can't make this, you can't, I mean, you don't get me wrong, you can make stuff up. Yeah. But he didn't.

We've been hearing a bunch of these stories forever. And guess what? Like I said, these are black people's stories, except for, except one white girl was on that documentary, four parts. Everybody else was black. That's right. I ain't heard nobody say, damn, did he shouldn't have been doing black people like that. But 50 sin shouldn't be doing that to another black man. No, did he shouldn't have been.

doing that to himself are those other black people allegedly. Yeah, the answer Fabs question, you could do a documentary and whoever you want, right? You don't need the rights, you don't need permission. You can do a documentary on whoever you're right. And what Sholomey said is absolutely positively right. If the stuff on that documentary is true. I mean, some of it we know is true. Right, so if it's

true, but it's not a problem, right? Because you're telling that story, whether it's good or bad. If it's a negative part of that story, yes, you're telling that stuff that's true. And another thing, just know, and I think they all know, when you play with Fifth, Fifth going to war. Yeah, it's supposed to start a whole new round.

But I did have that same question that Fab had. I did always wonder like, yo, can you actually just do that without somebody knowing, just go a documentary on somebody and expect... Absolutely. We could do documentary on you right now. Yeah. For me? Yeah.

I mean, they're alleging things you're supposed to vet it and like to try and protect yourself as much as you can. But, you know, when I was at TMZ, they have a whole situation with Tooby. We did doc. Someone just tagged me in one other day. We did documentaries like five times a week on just random. celebrities. And that's another thing. TMZ did how many documentaries

on Diddy? How many shows are four of them, right? And nobody said nothing to the body. Ain't nobody called Harvey 11th out yet. Nope. You don't say. All the one they did for NBC, Peacock. Well, not to I mean, I just don't understand the logic of when y'all say 50 cent, you know, shouldn't be going at another

black man, but everybody on the documentary is black people accusing Diddy of these heinous acts? But do y'all think in general, I know we got to wrap up, in general, do you all think it's fair for not even just 50 because they were just having an unauthorized documentary conversation in general. Is it fair for somebody to be able to go and screw

screw, go and you know, change the way people think of you because of a documentary. Y'all are public figures. How did they change the way people thought about Diddy? There may have been people that might have known everything. You might have known some of it, but you might have known everything. I know, after the documentary,

I was like, he is a monster and he should get 50 years. I was very upset. Well, documentaries like anything else. Yeah, I don't think documentaries should be done unless you get both sides, but that's not how the law works. That's not how it works. You could do a documentary on anybody at any time. It's just like a lawsuit.

I can sue you for anything. Right now, I can say, I don't like the way your hair looks, and I'm sue you because it bothers me. I can say Charlemagne uses the shake weight, and he pointed at me, and I feel like he's... I'll say you bought it for me. And you brought her spray for her hair. Yeah, and everybody took my job. And they'd sue me back. Your umbrella, all that gray

over there. All right. Don't stop, Lauren. Load up again. No, that was a good one. I'm done. I'm done. I love it. I love envy. It heard me to say that. I didn't want to wrap it. You're sure?

We got to go. Yeah, I love envy. It's not you. It's different. We got to go. Because Ray J. said Diddy took his butt too. He lunched out.
