Just, Larry, she run a little lake.

Charlemagne Naguad will be here in a second and it's Thursday yes they both late but there's a good reason well I guess you can say it's a good reason again the UN is in town so you know when the UN is in town all the world leaders they transcend they come to New York City and they have these huge meetings all over the city and it just so happens some of the UN dignitaries are staying in hotels that around the radio station so what that means is when we come to work

They make us get out of our car before we can actually even get on the block, right? Today was a little worse than yesterday. Yesterday, they just checked the car and kept it moving. It's raining in New York City today. So they actually made me get out the car. You know, you had to open up the back, open up the front. You had to open up every door. Today, they actually did a whole thorough check, not just sweeping with the dogs.

They actually went inside with flashlights looking in the glove boxes, making sure I guess I didn't have any weapons or bombs or any explosive material. And then after that, they let you, you know, go on your way to your parking lot. When I spoke to Charlemagne a couple of minutes ago, he was getting checked. So I don't know if they did a thorough check or more of a check to him. I don't know with Charlemagne, you never know. But they did a thorough check. So they were doing a thorough check with Charlemagne.

So he'll be joining us in a second. All right. Now, Mayor Eric Adams will be joining us this morning. He's the mayor of New York City. He's running for re-election. He's running as an independent. Last time he ran, he was a Democrat. Now he's an independent now.

he's actually losing in the poll. So we'll talk to Mayor Adams. I'm just curious to what changed? Why don't it seem like people just dislike him so much now? So we'll ask him that. And also, we'll find out everything that happened with his case. If he's aligned with Trump and everything going on with Mayor Eric Adams and even a crime in the city, because they say crime is down, but it doesn't feel like that.

You know, we talked yesterday with Mimi and we said an officer got, you know, pushed onto the tracks a day ago last night. an officer was leaving work they were married and they're on their way home somebody tried to rob them and they actually had to shoot the person so we'll talk to Mayor Adams again about crime in New York City like they're saying crime is down but it doesn't feel like that. What up Sholomey?

Yo, what's the word? They did a thorough check with you while you're fixing your pants? Man, shut up, man. Can I just sit in here and settle down for a second? I told the world they did a thorough check on you. You come in here and you're fixing your pants. They did a thorough check on everybody. It's the secret service But, you know, they was cool.

They remember us from yesterday. They were cool. Yeah, they were cool today. So they let us get through a little bit quicker. But, you know, it is what it is, man. It's life. What you're supposed to do? All right.

Well, yeah. Well, Mayor Adams, like I said, we'll be joining us this morning. So we'll kick it with him. When we come back, we got front page news. Me and me will be here, so don't go anywhere. And it's Ti's birthday today. So we're going to get some TI in the mix, man. It's the Breakfast Club.

Good morning. Let's go. Morning, everybody. It's DJ NV. Jolari, Sholomey, the guy. we are the breakfast club let's get in some front page news start off with some quick sports last night i actually took my son to the new york city uh football game they played miami and messy played messy is my son's favorite player and messy got busy last night he scored two goals

new york city football club lost four zero but what a game it was last night so salute to the new york city football club of miami one last night and also tonight and thursday night football the seahawks take on the cardinals on prime at eight 15 what's up mimi Good morning, Amy. Good morning, Charlemagne. Peace, Mimi. Good morning. All right, y'all. Well, we start in Dallas this morning where gunfire broke out at a U.S. Immigrations and Custom Enforcement Field Office. Now, three detainees were shot. One is dead. Two others are fighting for their lives in critical condition. No ICE officers were hurt. Now, the shooter has been identified as 29-year-old Joshua John.

Officers say he opened fire from a nearby rooftop before turning the gun on himself. The FBI is calling it, targeted violence. Now investigators say shell casings left at the scene were engraved with the words anti-ice. But John's background, though, it paints a more complicated picture. Public records show he once faced a minor marijuana charge, live with his parents in a Dallas suburb, and spent a lot of time online talking about video games, cars, and pop culture. He voted in both Democratic and Republican primaries and showed little sign of strong political activism. For now, investigators are still working to understand the motive for the attack. But the political fallout has already started, President Trump calling the shooting

despicable and blaming what he called the radical left Democrats for demonizing ice. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Nome promising to hire more ice agents casting the shooting as part of a broader war on immigration enforcement. And J.D. Vance, his comments are probably getting the most attention this morning. Let's hear what he had to say. But what we know is that in Dallas, Texas, an ice facility and Immigrations and Customs Enforcement Facility was opened fire upon by a violent left-wing extremist, a person who wrote anti-ice messaging on their bullets, and there's some evidence that we have that's not yet public, but we know this person was politically motivated. They were politically motivated to go after law enforcement.

They were politically motivated to go after people who are enforcing our border. I wonder, how do we know that this individual didn't, you know, have people that were deported, you know, have family members that were deported or a girlfriend. I don't know. I'm just throwing things out there. Do we know that? We don't know any of that. We are, they, even the FBI has said it's still under investigation. And so to come out and say it's kind of like what we saw with the Charlie Kirk shooting, you know, they come out and say these things. And so immigration advocates are pushing back, pointing that out that it was detainees, not officers who were struck by gunfire. They say that while Washington frames this as an attack on law enforcement is the migrant,

community that feels, they feel like the real target. Wednesday shooting, though, in Dallas was the second attack on this ice facility in recent weeks. Just last month, a suspect was arrested for making a bomb threat against that same office. And in July, a police officer was shot outside another detention

center just 40 miles away. I think it's extremely dangerous for the vice president of the United States of America to come out and immediately politicize this situation. I don't know why they do this. I don't know why the right immediately blames the left. I don't know why the left immediately blames the right. Why can't everybody just take a step back and let's see what this person's

motive was for us? Exactly. Let the investigation play out. And we're less than a week away from a possible government shutdown. And this time, Republicans say they're ready to make it as painful as possible for Democrats. Now, talks between the two parties have gone nowhere for weeks. Democrats want to protect the Affordable Care Act subsidies. Republicans want a short-term clean spending bill and neither side is budging. That has left President Trump and GOP leaders feeling confident they can pin the blame on Democrats if the government shuts down. Now, a shutdown would have a wide ranging effects. Federal workers could be forced to report without pay. National parks would close agencies like veteran affairs, the IRS, and health

and human services could see disruptions, consequences that would hit families, seniors, and veterans before they touch lawmakers. Now, Republicans say they are united in their position and with Trump back in the White House, they believe they control the narrative. by deciding what services are deemed essential. GOP, Senator Mark Marshall, put it bluntly, saying red states will be spared the hardest, red states will be spared the hardest, while blue states should expect more pain. Now, Democrats, however, argue that Republicans are the ones pushing the government toward a shutdown, and Trump canceling a meeting this week with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries

and Senate Minority Senate Leader Chuck Schumer earlier this week only underscore the stalemate. They say he's signaling that he's willing to let the deadline pass without a deal. So at its core, this fight is about leverage. Republicans want to weaken Democratic priorities like health care funding, and they insist that these programs must be protected while Republicans, they want a clean spending bill. So they say right now both sides remain dug in with a possible shutdown just days away. So we'll see what happens.

So why they have a pissing contest, as usual, we the people suffer. Yeah, American people suffer. That's right. Exactly. So we'll continue to watch this and see what happens next week. Coming up, another headline for, another headache for Disney, and maybe for you too, we'll tell you what's happening coming up next. All right.

Everybody else, get it off your chest. 800-585-105-1. If you need to vent, phone lines are wide open. Again, 800-585-105-1. Get it off your chest. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

What's up, brother? Get it off your chest. Yo, man. I want to give Fox News, Charlemagne's donkey of the day, man. they compare Charlie Floyd's death to Charlie to I'm sorry Charlie Kirk's death right yeah the Charlie Kirk's death man that's crazy man the two deaths are totally different

yeah I don't understand the comparison either I really don't I don't I don't it's a lot of things I don't understand about that situation I don't understand the Charlie Kirk Martin Luther King Jr. comparison either like I don't know why they playing I don't know why people playing like tragedy Olympics with these things right I mean like it just totally makes no sense, man. I mean, like, one got killed by, in the hands of police

all this, the other one was assassinated. How are they compared it to? They're talking about the riots and things like that nature. Like, why ain't, why ain't the people for Charlie Kirk rioting? Now, I'm not condoing any death, you know what I'm saying? Recipes of both brothers, but, I mean, it's totally different.

Yeah, because, you know, Charlie Kirk didn't get paid by people who we paid with our tax dollars. Right. Hello, who's this? Yo, what up, though? This is D1. D1, what's up? Get it off your chest. What up, dog?

I just want to shout out my son. It's his birthday of daddy time for his name, DeMere. Peace, DeMere. Peace, DeMere. Yeah, and shout out to your family, DJ, Envy. You and your family, your daughter on their engagement. Appreciate it. I want to shout out the two ladies that be coming on, giving us the political statements and stuff.

That's big key. That's key things because. Oh, you're talking about Mimi? You talking about Front-Page news? I think me and the other girl that come on for... Teslin, Teslin Figaro? Yeah, yeah. They show, like, a lot of us don't, um, pay attention to that stuff

when we listen to y'all's show and make us more in depth with what going on and stuff, and it just keep us up to date off stuff. So shout up to y'all for keeping us in touch with that. Appreciate you, brother. Hello, who's this? Oh, it's good. Envi, this Vito. Vito, what's up?

What's up? I'm from Milwaukee, bro. What up? What's up with you, brother? Get it off your chest. Hey, I was just, uh, no. noticing how the internet and the streets is totally different, you know, on the internet online. They against everything Trump implements as far as like cleaning up the ghettos and, you know,

the murder rates and all that. But then, you know, in real life, you got you got folks working class that are all for and they support that like Chicago flips red movement and just all the corrupt within the Democratic Party holding down the black community. for so many years. So I just wanted to throw that out there. You know, the Internet is totally different from what the communities, the people in the communities want.

I would say that it's also still a little bit more nuanced than you just made it. I know that Chicago Flip's Red Movement, you know, Zoe's been up here before, but I think that it's a little bit more nuanced. Like the Internet isn't all one way, and the streets aren't all one way either, brother. Yeah, yeah, but you know what I'm talking about, Charlotte. You try to defend it and beat up. arm of the, of the, um, the Democratic, uh, whatever.

And then I want to throw one thing out there. No, wait, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Right there, right there is exactly what I'm talking about. Because you'll say that, but then you'll have other people that'll say I'm MAGA. So you understand what I mean when I say things are a little bit more nuanced than people think? No, no, I think that, uh, in the reality, Charlemagne, respectfully, I got a lot of respect for you, but the reality is in, in your true form and real life, you know what's,

what's right, but sometimes you, in a situation where you have to say the opposite. No, I'm not. No, I'm not. Salomey is never in a city. Anything you hear come out of my mouth is how I feel. It has nothing to do with nothing else. But once again, that's what I mean when I say

things are a little bit more nuanced because there's people on the internet who are against Trump, and then there's people on the internet that afford Trump. And then in the streets, there's people on the internet, I mean, in the streets that afford Trump and there's people that are against Trump. Everything is a lot more nuanced than people try to make things.

Hello, who's this? Hey, morning. This is Adele. Good morning. D.J. and Charlotte, Maine. And Jeff. What up? What up, Adele? Get off your chest, brother. First, I want to congratulate your daughter on the engagement. I thought it's a really beautiful thing. I admire your family.

Oh, thank you so much. All your family. Got doing great things. But I had a thought once you announced the engagement. I thought it'll be really cool. Or maybe it's too late if you want Charlemagne and reenacted that bad boy thing with the boyfriend. Oh. You know, the funny part is,

How about Reggie? Yeah, I know he talked about Reggie. The first time I actually met Andrew, he was at a car show in Houston. So he had to pull in it, and all Madison's uncles was there, and all my friends was there. So they put him through the ring of that first day. I actually felt bad for him the first day. But he held it strong, and now he's become part of the family. But they put him through the ring already.

The first time if you met Andrew, he passed out because he thought he was meeting itself. Definitely did not. But June, Danny, and everybody, they put him through the ring of, you know, had a hard talk with him. But, you know, he stayed and he's a good young man, bro. Yeah, if you say, I can tell you, he's a great young man. So I'm happy for y'all. And I got to say, Marial, all y'all, you're a beautiful family. I read your first book and just to see how you and your wife raise your, I think, sex kids,

which doesn't happen too often in this day and age. It's a really beautiful thing to see. And you're too strong, man. We have three daughters? Four. Four, my brother. Wow. See, I've got doing it.

Keep it up, man. Keep being an example to a young black man. Thank you, brother. And, of course, Jeff, too. And eventually, Lauren, you know, when you're just a girl. you know when she gets married. And that's going to be a long, long, long time ago. I mean, let us pray.

I appreciate your positive energy up here this morning. This is a really non-positive room. Let's light our stage, you know what I'm saying? Don't like nothing for me. Let's hope she keeps going to therapy. Don't like nothing for me. And those spells you'd be doing. Jesus.

You stay right over there. Jesus. I got a good thing going. Don't you touch it. Don't pray about it. Don't let you sneeze over it. Get it. All right.

It's just 8005-85-105. We got the latest with Lauren coming up. We do. And we're going to talk about Ata Rocky and Rihanna Because you know they've been saying they want their girl They got their boys, they want their girl They welcome the new baby We're going to talk about which baby they welcomed a boy or girl

All right, we'll get to that next It's the Breakfast Club, good morning The Breakfast Club Lauren becoming a straight fat She gets them from 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

The latest on the news The latest with the latest with Lauren LaRosa. Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details, sometimes you have a little bit of everything. Well, it's the ladies. On the Breakfast Club. Talk to me. Well, A-Sat Rocky just told Elle magazine a few days ago that him and Rihanna were praying for a baby girl.

You know that they have sons already. And yesterday, Rihanna, let us know, the world know, that they got their baby girl finally. Oh, congratulations. Yes. Do we know a name? Yes, we do. So her name is Rocky Irish Mayors. and Rihanna lists

list her birthday as September 13, 13th, 2025. Don't drop on the clues bombs. Yes, they finally have their baby girl. And it's so cute too. So in the photos that Rihanna posted, she's holding the baby and, you know, in the pink and all the things.

And then when you swipe over, it's like these pink little baby boxing gloves for like Rocky. So cute. Yeah, it's really, really cute. Yeah, so congratulations to them. Now, in other news, switching gears, so here in New York

that we've been having a lot of conversations, about the RICO situation because Diddy and all the court stuff and I'll actually be headed back to court today we'll talk about that in a second but before we get there we got to back up because Ray J made some claims on the stream and he's claiming that he is now working

to develop a federal RICO against Kim Kardashian and Chris Jenner About what? Sex tape? Well you know he says that he feels like the sex tape ruined his life but basically he's saying that because of everything that they've been able to do behind the scenes. I'll let him talk. Let's listen to a radio on stream.

Federal Rico, though, KK.K. and Chris? Ooh. The federal Rico I'm about to drop on Chris and Kim is about to be crazy. I'm talking about, I'm on the news every day like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Meaning like I'm going to say a lot of shit. Anybody know Kim and cool with Kim. They need to tell him now. The rain is coming. The feds is coming. Hey, right.

The fans is coming. It's nothing I can do about it. It's worse than Diddy. It's worse than Diddy. Y'all hear this, boy. It's worse than Diddy. The feds are coming to investigate. Yeah, because it's like, I can't be the dirty guy no more. I think if it's one thing we should have learned from the Diddy situation is everything is not a Rico, guys. Okay, this is what happens when the feds overplay their hand and overcharged people like they did with Diddy.

They hit Didi with Rico and it wasn't a Rico. Now everybody just throws the word Rico around. Yeah, it's just the word. Everybody goes, Rico, Rico, but he hasn't seen what they be in charge with. What did they do wrong? wrong. And Ray J is kind of contradicting himself because he said it's worse than Diddy, but Ray J, you were also the person saying that Diddy shouldn't be charged with Rico. I have that audio. Let's take a listen to Diddy, to Ray Jays a few months ago talking about

Diddy and comparing it to the Kardashians. Let's take a listen. And I feel like it's becoming a circus act for stuff that doesn't make any sense for what Diddy's being charged for. I mean, there's a lot of bad things happening. And we all agree with that. But O'Rico, racketeering, sex trafficking, like, I've been with Diddy

a long time. And if I haven't seen any of these kind of heinous acts happening, then where was I? When it was happening. If you told me that the Kardashians was being charged for racketeering, I might believe it. But Diddy,

sex trafficking, and all these other extra things, like to me, knowing him, knowing the situation, being around with most of the people that's testifying, you know, I just feel like there's somebody at the top who's making a statement, who's making a point. Yeah, so he doesn't really provide direct context as to what the RICO, like what the charges will be and why. But every time he talks about, did he bring, or RICO, he brings in the Kardashians. And, you know, now people are wondering why.

All I'm saying, everything is in RICO. Everything isn't an organized criminal enterprise. But I think it's these words that just people just keep using Like Rico was one of them Triggered was another Toxic was another Gas lighting was another Is that wrong with those words?

These words, when you use them the wrong way Just nothing wrong with those words We've been on Tic Tac Yeah, just using the wrong way Where? You've been on Tick Tick Tick. You know, that's the unc side of it. I know.

Well, I mean, I don't know. I just don't understand what the charges would be Like what do they do as a group Like athletes, rappers Like what are they going to be in trouble for? I'll just stab. Drop on the clothes bomb for Ray J. Ray J is just stirring

stirring waters to catch fish. He's been stirring. He's been stirring. Ray Jain know exactly what he's doing, man. This is his MO. Yes. But what if he really is trying to put together Arrico though?

Like, Brist or what, though? I don't know. There's going to be a lot of money spent in court for no reason. I'm going to that case. I will be there. You're not going to see nothing. It will be very entertaining when Ray J gets on the stick. Ray J is going viral.

That's exactly what Ray J is doing. Okay, subscribe to Ray J's Twitch. What's Ray J's Twitch? I don't know. And he got something coming out with Zeus. He got something coming out with LaMelle. Oh, I saw that Love Cabin. I think that's what it's called.

Ray J., his Twitch is actually Ray J. Subscribe to Ray J's Twitch, yo. It's something he got coming out. You will always be entertained. That's right. You're going back to court today? Yes, so I wasn't going to go because I thought that they were going to be there

just discussing what next week for the, sentencing on October 3rd would be like for Diddy. But yesterday I talked to someone in the know who let me know that Diddy's team believes that today, Diddy may get the news that the two men act charges, or at least one of, or something, will

be acquitted. So a while ago, Diddy's team came to the judge in court and said, the prosecution did not do a good job of proving their case. They didn't submit the right evidence. Y'all keep talking about what he did with prostitution, but he never directly booked. Prostitutes, he never had sex with any of the M. Escortals.

he also didn't make money off of this like prostitution ring that you guys are claiming so this can't stand so they submitted that the prosecution shot back with you know what you know to fight that today the judge makes the decision but the reason why I'm told his team thinks that today is going to be like a big day and I saw like Christian Combs post the video of him and Diddy and you know do the whole thing is because everyone's being called into court like Diddy's coming into court of course his attorneys will be there but it could have went a different way they could have just did it via Zoom the judge could have submitted letter. Have they done things with Diddy and Zoom? Wait he was on, yes? Yeah, we did. They did things with Diddy on Zoom toward the end of the case right before the verdict.

Like that's a thing that could have happened. But yeah, so they think that this may be a thing. All of his family, you know, we'll be there today. So I know the Man Act been around since 1910,

but every time I hear people say the Man Act, I just think about all those men's, all those male prostitutes, all that's semen on the nipples of man's. If the family is getting ready and listening to the breakfast club any morning,

I just don't it just sound crazy Did he wasn't what is it guilty of the man act He acted on them men didn't he? You sound like somebody's grandma It sounds funny Speaking of Diddy and men Oh boy So you know how they

They probably change the name of the act now Just because of him There were all those character letters that were submitted Including the one by Young Miami that we talked about And his mom and his family But there were also character letters submitted by other inmates that have been working with Diddy's and they say that Diddy has created

this organization, but this program in jail where he's teaching his fellow inmates' business skills and they wrote letters singing his praises to the judge and the letters, the program is called Free Game with Diddy and it's the course behind bars. I'm Jorge Ramos. And I'm Paola Ramos. Together we're launching The Moment

a new podcast about what it means to live through a time as uncertain as this one. down with politicians. I would be the first immigrant mayor in generations, but 40% of New Yorkers were born outside of this country. Artists and activists, I mean, do you ever feel demoralized? I might personally lose hope. This individual might lose the faith,

but there's an institution that doesn't lose faith. And that's what I believe in. To bring you depth and analysis from a unique Latino perspective. There's not a single day that Paola and I don't call or text each other, sharing news and thoughts about what's happening in the country. This new podcast will be a way to make that ongoing intergenerational conversation public. Listen to The Moment with Jorge Ramos and Paola Ramos as part of the MyCultura podcast network on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, I'm Jay Shetty, and I'm the host of the on-purpose podcast.

Today, I'm joined by Emma Watson. Emma Watson. Emma Watson has apparently quit acting. Emma Watson has announced she's retiring from acting. Has anyone else noticed that we haven't seen Emma Watson in anything in several years? Emma Watson is opening up the truth behind her five-year break from acting. Watson said she wasn't very happy. Was acting always something you were going to do?

I was using acting as a way of escaping to feel free. My parents, it wasn't just the divorce. It was just like the continuing situation of living between two different houses and two different lives. and two different sets of values, the career and the life that looks like the dream. But are you really happy? Fame has given me this extraordinary power. It's also given me a lot of responsibility.

It got to be free. Locked up. But yeah, so they're seeing things like, you know, now they have purpose because of the class. He showed them little adjustments to like their everyday life that add up to big changes. He's teaching them about, you know, chasing the easy money and how that's the wrong way

to achieve real success. I don't know if I would want that, though. They might try to keep him. Like, you know what, you're doing such a good job in here. You're cleaning up the streets. I don't know if I would want them to make them type of letters. Because Diddy's bass has always been great, right? So that's been good for the inmates.

Yeah. I mean, and imagine being an in an inmate and getting a one-on-one, 101. 101. Just imagine the free game. It's free game with Diddy. That is going to be interesting, though, when Diddy gets out, is he going to continue to do stuff like that with the inmates? You know what I mean?

Like, you know, our Shaka-Shankar always goes to speak to inmates all over the country. Like, I was Shaka a couple weeks ago at Rikers, you know, to the image. I wonder if he's going to continue to do stuff like that. Well, he said he wants to, you know, help other people who have done things that he's done. Remember, they were saying that? I could be well. Nobody does what he's done. Nobody has done that. I don't think

so. Well, we'll see what happens today. I'll let you guys know what happens. I think it's going to be pretty short, though. I think court will be fast today. Okay. All right. Well, that's the latest with Lauren. Now, when we come back, we got front page news. And the mayor of New York City, Eric Adams will be joining us. All right? So we'll talk to him in a little bit. It's the breakfast club.

Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's D. It's D. Envy, Jess Hilary, Sholomey and the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get back in some front page news. Now, some quick sports. Salute to the New York City Football Club. It's a soccer team in New York City. They played Miami.

My son's favorite player was Messi, so we went there to watch Messi. Messy scored two goals. They blew us out. But a salute to the New York City football. You know what I find so funny about that? The Giants are 0 and 3. The Jets are O'N3. Got these are going to watch soccer.

And y'all still look. Even the soccer team still do. Damn, man. Yeah, y'all can't wait for his baseball season. Baseball season is good. And basketball season. Yeah, Yankees actually is number one. Yankees actually is good.

Oh, is baseball season already? Yeah, this is about to go to playoffs. Damn. Yeah. I don't be paying no attention. And tonight, if you're into football, the Seahawks take on the Cardinals on Thursday night football at 815. What's up, Mimi?

Good morning, Envy, Jess, and Charlemaine. How y'all doing? Peace, Mimi. Good morning. Good morning. Okay, so let's talk about Jimmy Kimmel and his big return to late-night TV. The numbers are in. and it was a huge success, 6 million viewers on ABC, 15 million clicks on YouTube.

His first show, since the suspension, is now the most watched Jimmy Kimmel Live episode in more than a decade. Now, according to ABC, excuse me, the episode drew in 6.3 million viewers on traditional television, and that's more than three times the show's normal audience. Now, online, the impact was much larger. Kimmel's nearly half an hour monologue on free speech, it has gone viral. clocking more than 15 million views on YouTube and tens of millions of more on social media, making it his most watch monologue ever. Now, all this happened despite the show being blacked out in nearly a quarter of American homes,

stations like, or station groups like Next Star and Sinclair, which controlled dozens of ABC affiliates. They refused to air the episode, but viewers in those markets went online instead, turning Kimmel's comeback into a streaming event. Now, Kimmel was sidelined for nearly a week after a controversial. controversial monologue about the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk that sparked backlash and political pressure, but now the numbers suggest the attempt to silence him may have backfired. Critics and free speech advocates say the suspension set a dangerous precedent and instead of shrinking his audience, the controversy supercharged it, making Kimball's return one of the most talked about late night moments ever. Yeah, as you said, Mimi, this is his highest rated show in over a decade. So this lets me know the audience. It's still there for late night, but you have to give folks must see TV.

It has to be an experience. It has to be something they feel like they can't miss. I don't want to wait to watch this on YouTube. I need to see this in real time now. I don't know how many more of those you can create, though. Yeah, yeah. That was probably, I mean, and I'm thinking this week, you know, the numbers will probably say high, but we'll see what happens.

But because it was blacked off in about 23% of the markets, and he still broke records is it. just goes to show you people don't want to be censored or they don't want their show censored or told what they can watch and what they can't watch. Yeah, I watched it again last night because I, you know, I felt like the monologue when he came back was a little too safe for my liking. You know what I mean? Especially being of the moment that we're in. I feel like it should have just been a, you know, I don't know, I just felt like it should have been a lot more stronger. It shouldn't have been about him. It should have been about the moment that we're in as far as, like,

you know, they're trying to take away freedom of speech and him being on Trump's hit list. So I listened again last night to see how he would bring it. He came at Trump a little bit. Yeah, he had some moments. Did you see the skit with Robert De Niro? I did. I did. Yep, I did.

Okay. They had a few little punchy jokes in there, too. So that was fun. All right, well, Kimball isn't the only Disney making headline. The company is facing heat on another front. It's streaming business. Starting next month, prices are going up again for Disney Plus, Hulu, and ESPN streaming service. It's the third October in a row that Disney has raised fees,

and the timing couldn't be more awkward. coming just as millions of people say they are canceling their subscriptions in protest of Kimmel's suspension. So how much more are you going to have to pay? Well, Disney and Hulu with ads will climb from about $10 to $12 a month, while their ad-free versions will jump from about $16 to $19. An ESP in streaming service is also going up about $1,000 to $13 a month. Now, Disney insists these price hikes were already planned, so they come as the company, is moving ahead with bigger changes.

After completing its full takeover of Hulu this past summer, Disney says it will fully merge Hulu into Disney Plus by 2026, though standalone subscriptions will still be available. I didn't cancel my Hulu subscription because I wanted to watch Reasonable Doubt, but I understand. So I'm still here. I'm glad that he's back on the air, so I don't feel any pressure to do that. Yeah, I didn't cancel my subscription.

because I got kids, all right? Bluey and Spidey and his amazing friends. Like, I got my household in the, got my house in the chokehold. Yeah, my daughter too. Yeah, so some tough calls there. All right, and in the middle of funding, we're going to switch gears just a little bit. In the middle of funding cuts hitting colleges nationwide,

there is some good news for HBCU's. Billionaire McKenzie Scott, the ex-wife of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, has donated $70 million to the United Negro College Fund. one of the largest gifts in history. Now, the money will be divided among 37 private, historically black colleges and universities. So schools like Spelman, Howard, Hampton, Morehouse, Tuskegee will each receive roughly about $5 million through a pooled endowment fund designed to strengthen long-term financial health of HBCUs.

It's part of the bigger UNCF push to raise a billion dollars for these schools. Now, timing matters because across the country, many colleges are losing funding and seeing enrollment drop, HBCUs, which have always been underfunded, continue to produce as we know, generations of black leaders and the UNCF president, he put it, we've always done less with more, or excuse me, we've always done more

with less, and now it's time to do more with more. Man, dropping a clues bomb from McKenzie Scott. That is incredible. I can't wait until I can do stuff like that. $70 million to HBCUs? God damn. Droving the clues bombs from McKinsey Scott, man. That is incredible.

salute to her. Because she don't got to do that. Nope, not at all. She's a history of doing that, right? She's a history of donating to just underserved college and universities, black colleges and universities and other underserved, you know, organizations. So we love that. Yeah, she's just a person who cares.

Like, she's a big, big, big philanthropist. You know, that's Jeff Bezos's ex-wife. So she got the back. Yes, she does. You know what I'm saying? And she's utilizing it the right way. So salute to her. Absolutely.

Absolutely. All right, well, that's your front page news. I'm Mimi Brown. Follow me at Mimi Brown TV for more stories. follow Black Information Network. Download the free IHeartRadio app or visit BINNews.com. Thank you, Mimi.

Thank you. All right. When we come back, we have the mayor of New York City. Mayor Eric Adams, who will be joining us. He's running for re-election. He's running for re-election, but Mondani putting his foot up his ass right now. You know what I'm saying? I think Eric's polling in fourth place. Yep.

So we'll talk to him next. I don't know why he thinks he can still win, but we're going to find out. Fourth place or third place? No, I read yesterday, fourth place. Jesus. All right. Well, we'll talk to him next. is the breakfast club. Good morning.

The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envi. Just hilarious. Charlemagne Nagar. We are the Breakfast Club. Lonla Rose is here as well. We got a special guest in the building. Yes, indeed. The mayor of New York City, Mayor Eric Adams. Welcome. Good to be here. Nice to be here and talk about the city. How are you feeling, brother? Good, man. You know, I've been, I took my hand off the steering wheel a long time.

Let go, let God. Turn on my GPS. My guard position is satellite. Like, you got me here. He's going to take me the next level. You know the question that everybody keeps asking, are you dropping out of the marrow race? And you know what? I answered that a hundred and one times. And no matter how I answer it,

they come back with the same. Seven weeks ago, when they first raised that, I had something at Gracie Mansion and said, listen, I'm here to the end. They wrote that he's dropping out. They say, then he's going to Saudi Arabia. I said, no, I'm not.

Then they wrote, I was going to be heard. No, I'm not. I was going to meet Donald Trump at Yankee Stadium. No, I did not. What people don't understand, when you run for mayor, one of the most important aspects of running for mayor is raising the money. People couldn't beat me at the polling site. And so they orchestrated and organized to really undermine my campaign.

When you hear that the mayor's dropping out over and over again, your funders are gone. Now I'm in court with campaign finance board. They owe me $4 million. They don't want to give it. to me. I spent $8 million the last time I ran. I'm down to now half of that now. So they have undermined my ability

to get my message out by making sure they cut off all the ways I could raise money to get it done. So now, I'm in a point now when I'm meeting with my fund is they say Eric, they keep telling me you're dropping out. So our goal is to finish this race but we have to win this court. That's in

case that's in court right now to get out $4 million. I do have a question. When you first came in office, It seems like the city love Mayor Adams, right? They loved you. They loved the fact that you were touching the people. You were outside. You were doing things that a lot of mayors wouldn't.

Like you were on 42nd Street, giving away food. You were doing a lot for the city. You were popping up in Harlem, in Brooklyn, in Queens. And then it became a turning point where people started to not like Mayor Adams or start to dislike. Why did that happen? Do you think it was an orchestrated thing? Why do you think people started? That's a great question.

That's a great question. Think about it for a moment. Where do people get their opinions from? They pick up to the papers. They start reading the papers, and they start saying, okay, this is what's happening in the city. When I go to town halls, when I'm at 40 projects, when I go out to Astoria, and I start sharing what we have done, people say, what? I didn't know that. There was, when I won mayor, here's the inner story that a lot of people don't know.

When I won mayor, you can't win citywide in this city without winning. It was called the New York Times Belt, Upper West Side, Park Slope, Cow Gardens, Brooklyn Heights. I lost all of that. The everyday person in the street say this guy is one of us. And from day one, go look at how I was covered. People don't know I build more housing in the city

than any mayor in the history of the city in my individual years. They don't know that low-income New York is no longer pay income tax because of me. $19 billion in black and minority-owned businesses that I put in. They don't know what I'm doing for foster care children,

paying their college tuition, giving them life coaches until they 21. They don't know what we're doing about homelessness. putting people to permanent housing. Nobody knows my story. So as a question, if they don't know, then if they don't know, then is it really getting done?

Because if the people should be the ones that's impacted about what you're doing. So why wouldn't they know? Right. There's a couple of things. People who go through it knows it all the time. They write at me. They stop me in the street. They tell me about the housing.

They got my universal after school program, what we're doing about dyslexia. Folks are on Rikers. I've been on Rikers Allen more than any man in the history of the city speaking with the inmates giving them. the services they need. So those who are recipient of it, they know. But when you pick up the paper, the average day person that's sitting down reading,

all they know is that, hey, this guy is out all the time party. No, I revitalized our nightlife industry. By yourself? Multi-billion dollar. Multi-billion-dollar industry. Multi-billion-dollar industry. Before I became men, they were closing down these industries where black and brown people were opening their own businesses.

They were closing them down. That stopped under me. I said, we're no longer going to go in and close down the heart and soul of how these businesses start and how they employ 100,000 people who are getting jobs through it. So what you do now during campaign, you take your campaign money and you're able to go over the media and speak directly to people. I don't have the money. You know, over the past weekend, you didn't attend any public events while a lot of your,

The rivals were out campaigning, and people used that to fuel more speculation that you're preparing to drop out. So how do you respond to that? Sixth time of this, Charlemagne, no matter what I said, they did it anyway. We were sitting down behind the scenes, sitting down with funders, sitting down with the campaign team, figuring out our strategies to go. I could be outside all the time, brother. You know, I could be outside running around the city all the time. But anyone that knows how to build their institutions know there's a time for you to, meet with your team and strategize

what the next steps are. Just running around the city is not how you win the campaign. And they don't have day jobs. I do. I still got a day job. I had the U.N. coming. A major security issue that we had to make sure it was correct. I had the high holiday. I had the Rosh Hashanah coming

making sure we did with threats. So I still have to run the city. It's not just about running around shaking hands. I had a job to do and I got to build my strong campaign. And that's what we're doing. I give you credit for that because, you know, they were giving you flag for not being at the African-American Day parade,

but I've seen you at events like the Heaven Up in Harlem event that O.G. Daniel did. Right, right, right. That wasn't like a schedule thing. You were just there. Right, right. And listen, there's never been a man in history of the city that's been among the people like I had.

You know, I'll drive through Brownsville and all of a sudden I see a closed barbershop or closed hair salon, people sitting in the back, smoking a cigar. I'm popping in their talk of them. How are you feeling on the ground, folks? What's happening on the ground? You know, I can walk through any community in this city

and you see from the Upper West Side to Harlem to Brooklyn, people see that, you know, Eric is among us and I've never stopped being among us. That's nothing special about me. You know, I never come across that. Listen, I'm the ma'am special. No, I'm the same dyslexic. South Jamaica, Queens, holding your sneakers,

carboards are in the bottom. I'm the same person, brother. Same person. And they never had a mayor like me, and they never want to see that mayor do it again. What we did for black and brown people in the city is amazing. Think about this for a moment. A lot of people only realize this. So who are the victims of shootings in the city?

Black and brown. 23,000 illegal guns off the street. The lowest numbers of shootings and homicides in the first seven months of this year in the history of the city. Who is street homeless? Black and brown. We removed 3,500 people off our streets into permanent housing. Permanent housing. Who's in our Department of Education? Black and brown. Other ethnic groups are in, but predominantly black and brown.

And we have improved education in our city, outpaced the state and reading and math, universal after school programs, 150,000 children into pre-K. Who is summer youth employment? Black and brown, 100,000 summer youth employment that we've done. Never been done before. So what I'm saying is when you pick apart my success and my policies, you have to say to yourself, this guy has gone after those who ignore for years. I agree with you. But, you know, the thing that we talk about all the time is we hear all these numbers and stats, right?

Yes. And we talk about, we hear about crime coming down. But a lot of times it doesn't feel like that. Right. And maybe that's what we hear in the story is like, you know, I'm driving in today. Police officer punts in the face and knocked onto the train tracks and pulled out. You know, shooting here, shooting there, shooting in there. It doesn't feel as safe as the numbers would say it was.

Right. Why do you say that is? And that's a great question, brother. Think about this for a moment. 5.6 million people ride out subway every day. 5.6 million. We have an average of five felonies a day on that system. With 5.6 million.

I mean, those numbers are astronomical. And so when you, a city of 8.5 million people, when you take the worst thing that happens in that city that day and you plaster it on the front pages, how are you going to fail? When I inherited the subway system, when I became mayor, No one wanted to be on the subway system.

We put police officers on there. We went down to make sure we got people with severe mental health off our issues off our system. We removed the encampments. People were living on the side of highways. They were leaving in boxes and tents on our streets. And so, no, people don't feel that way because it takes a lot of time before your perception viewed reality.

Sometimes people are living in the past of what they felt before. So when you put more police presence on the subway, it bought the crime? It was a combination of things we did. When we did an analysis, we saw that a lot of people say, we went to police walking through our trains. That's not where the crimes were happening.

The crimes were happening on the platforms. And so when we did a combination, number one, put our visible presence on the platform, number two, going after those with severe mental health issues, and getting them the care that they need, a thousand people we took off the streets. And so you're right, brother, when you say, okay, you're giving us the numbers.

But when you run a city, You have to run it based on indicators. You have to run it based on something to determine if you're moving in the right direction. Because when bond raters determine, are we going to tell people to invest in your city? We need to see these indicators. The bond raters raise my bond. They said this guy has gone through COVID, 237,000 migrants and asylum seekers, lawfare where they hit him with some bogus federal charges.

Out of all of that, this guy has still moved the city forward. unprecedented levels so the numbers don't lie I can say whatever I want but when you analyze here's where the city was here's where the city is we have more jobs in New York

in the history of the city I broke the record 11 times more small businesses in the history of the city when I came into an office black unemployment was four times the rates of white unemployment we dropped it by 20%

in the black and brown community we turned this city around now when people are pissed off at look who I did it with first black woman to be a first deputy mayor, first black woman police commissioner, a first Hispanic male that run the department of correction, first black to be a chief advisor, first Dominican in the history of the city to be a deputy mayor,

first Filipino to be a deputy mayor, first Indian to be a deputy mayor. I changed the landscape of the city. Do you feel like that's the reason why you're being attacked so much because you've done so much, and make so money minorities on? And what I think is a combination, someone told me one time, they said, listen, Eric, you don't have enough gray-haired white men around you.

You looked at my administration, brother. My administration looked like us. And so what did they do? They said, you know what? Let's start just tackling him in his community. This is the same thing happened with David Dinkins. Go back and look at the stories at David Dinkins and see how they had the community starts saying, well, you know, David Dinkers is always dressing up in a suit.

He's not, he's, you know, he's not one of us anymore. and they eroded his base of support. So our folks just stayed home. You know, they just did it just enough to have our folks stayed home. This is, you know, I'm the second black mayor in over 30 years. We have not had a black man in 30 years. And I learned from David, Mayor Dinkas, who tutored me and told me, and I said, I'm going to go in with a clear agenda of how do we help those who have been underserved for years.

And we did it. The record is clear. But a lot of your criticism comes from black people, though. Yeah, but why? Tell me why, Charlemere me, where do they get their opinions from? I think we're underestimating the power of the media in this city. Where do they get their opinions from? So you think it's white media shaping narratives negatively about you?

Well, no, I don't think, you know, you can't say only the white media. Just media in general. Right. Look across the country. Look across the country. Look at the black men's across the country. and look what they're doing and bring it down crime across the country.

And I give you credit to, you were the first person that at least put that on my radar. Last time you was here, you said there was an attack on black men. On black men. So look, under the previous administration, a lot of people want to talk about it. Under the previous administration,

the migrants and asylum seekers went to Chicago, went to Los Angeles, went to Houston, went to New York. What was the same in all of those cities? They were all black mayors. And check this out.

This is the thing that a lot of people don't realize. They say, okay, Eric, the migration assignment secret issues over. Everything is fine. No, it's not. Of course, it's $7.2 billion. That is $7.2 billion that I could not put into $500 million into chronically absent children, a billion dollars into senior housing, $500 million into more programs for our youth, formerly incarcerated.

That money is going to have a long-term impact on our city. We're going to see the byproduct of what that previous administration did to us. We're going to see the byproduct of that for years to come. But a lot of that is Democratic messaging fault because, you know, you created sanctuary cities and you said that those people were welcome here. So what a lot of those Republican governors did was put those people on planes and buses

and send them to those so-called sanctuary cities. And then when y'all got overwhelmed, y'all was like, whoa. Let me do you my version of it. Let's understand what sanctuary city is because a lot of people conflate sanctuary cities. What we say is sanctuary cities, when somebody buy this bottle of water, they pay taxes on this bottle of water.

whatever. Those taxes allow you services. So if your child needs to be educated, they should be allowed to go to school. If you're a victim of a crime, you should be allowed to call a police. If you need medical care, you should be allowed to go to the hospital because you're paying taxes. You don't walk into a grocery store and someone say you're undocumented, so I'm not going to give you the tax. No, you are allowed to get those taxes. When we tell people, if you come here, we're going to treat you with respect. We're going to make sure you get the services that your tax dollars are paying for, and we're going to make sure you're treated with dignity and respect. It was the federal government

responsibility to seal the border. So people can say what they want about the current administration. When they sealed the border, we stopped getting the flow. I was getting $4,000 a week. And the federal law said, you can't stop the buses from coming in, Eric. You can't even allow them to work. You can't even allow

them to volunteer and give them a stifit. And the city law said, you're going to feed, house, clothes, and educate the children. So I'm following the law when they came into the city. I don't control who comes into the country, but I have to make sure while you're here, your children are in school.

If not, they're going to be the victims of abuse by staying home. I got to make sure if you need medical care, you can go to the hospital. If not, you're going to overrun my emergency room. And people will pray on you knowing that you can't call a police if you're a victim of a crime. So it wasn't that we said, whoa, whoa, whoa. I was

always saying, whoa, control the borders. Don't put this on cities. The cities are having to fulfill the obligations of federal government. And in spite of that, we moved the city forward. You know, people will tell you, you know what, the guy did move the city forward. You know, the guy did turn around of the city.

The guy did improve employment, improve housing. I had the city say, we got it, we got it, you know. But you know what? He's too close to Trump. But nobody tells you, I took this administration to court more than any mayor in the country. They sued me, you know, more than. the email. And when we needed the administration, we were able to get, call them to get the things

done. So it's not like, I'm not under anyone's thumb. I'm running my city. I'm fighting for my city. There's things that always pop up in the press that make you look a certain way, even if it's not, right? So that's why I love that you hear. So one of the biggest thing was when Donald Trump, they dismissed your federal corruption charges, right? And they did it without prejudice because they said they leave it open that they can file charges later on, right? And the press put it as well that makes him excuse my friends Donald Trump's public exactly right where you know

he can be used any which way so what do you say to those people in that media people that really believe that you're lining up with Trump and that might not be what people align to especially in this election so think about this one moment it was dismissed with prejudice meaning it can't come back it was dismissed with prejudice

oh they said without prejudice yeah no that's what they wanted but the judge said it's dismissed with prejudice okay so many people never read my indictment And I keep saying that over and over. People need to read the indictment. I was indicted for calling the fire department and asking them to do a building inspection. And all the text messages are there.

I said, if you can't do it, let me know. And I'll manage their expectation. This is done every day. They took that and said, well, you know what? You got free upgrades. You paid for your flights, but you got upgrades when you flew. Flying as the borough president, I was allowed to get upgrades. They said, you got free upgrades, which was not a gift.

They said, we're going to tie that and say it was, it was bribery. It was bribery. And so I'm facing 33 years in prison for this, you know. And so people say, well, if you didn't do anything wrong, why would they come at you? Ask Brian Benjamin. I think all your callers should Google Brian Benjamin. Highest ranking black. Highest raking black in the state.

They indicted him also. The judge dismissed his charges also. When he looked at, they saw how bogus it was. Biden said the Justice Department was politicized. when he parted his son. You know, Trump said it. So the president on the campaign trail, I never knew the president.

I never met the president. He was on the campaign trail saying, look what they're doing that man in New York. You know, that's wrong what they're doing to that mayor in New York. So when he got in, he told his Justice Department, y'all need to look at that case. When they looked at the case and they saw some of the emails and text messages that the prosecutors were doing,

they said, we're going to dismiss this case. That's part of the justice. system. The DOJ, they do it all the time. This is not new. This was not special for Eric. They do it all the time. They look at cases and they make a determination, do we want to proceed for it?

That was the determination they made. And my attorney sat down and said down and say, look at this case, folks, and what they're doing to this mayor. They got pissed off because I was not a good Democrat, and I started voicing, this is wrong what y'all doing for our city, that this is costing us too much money. This is hurting our

folks. They basically said, you need to be a good Democrat, you know? They put you in your place. Right. There you go. So listen, you're polling in fourth place right now. Yeah. What makes you think you can still win? As I stated, where

was Madani? What was Zoran? This distance out from the race. You're pulling at 1%? I mean? He was, Andrew was beating him by 20-something percent. Oh, in the primary? Yeah, in the primary.

at during the during the primary day before the primary there was a poll out Andrew was up by 12% the day before the primary he lost by 14%

and so what I must do in these campaigns because I've done it before remember the only one that's only one that's running for mayor that has ever one mayor is me I beat an impressive field

the last time Andrew Yang was beating me by 14 points you know what I must do is I need my money I have to be able to have folks come home Open up their mail and see my story I have to be able to have my field team on the street

That I have to pay for And my volunteers so they can talk about my story I need to be able to do my radio ads All the things that go with Telling your story Right now I'm dependent on my print media To tell my story Which they make clear they're not going to tell my story

And the social media I don't know who the hell doing your social media I'm sorry And don't look realistic. There was a video that was going viral of you, like, getting ready to go out to, like, an event or something like that. Yeah. And, I mean, I think it gets younger people wondering who you are and why you're doing it, but it just doesn't add well to the conversation. Yeah, it just doesn't add well to the conversation.

I've always wondered what, what's the strategy behind that? Like, why do you do that? Yeah, you know, and this is very interesting that, you know, you have, I'm not a social media expert. I don't know. I'm the first thing to tell you all nothing about, I'm social media. But a lot of people are talking about the role of young people. people in the election. The only consistent voter in the city are 55 plus older people. They're consistent. Everybody thought that Obama, everybody thought that young people were the ones who got

Obama elected. You'll see the more and more engagement of young people, but Obama was, you know, Obama got 65% of the young people vote, but it was only 8%, 18% of the total vote. You know, your grandmother and your mom, those are the ones that come out all the time. So it's, and they're not on X. You know, you know, they are on probably Facebook, and they still get that old-fashioned television ad, mailing, etc. And that's what we want to focus

on. So with that said, why he'd be doing those ridiculous videos on social media? Listen, like I said, I don't know social media, brother. You know, we have a team of folks that we put on. They create what the social media is. I don't know it. You know, I know what I know, and I know what I don't know.

You know, and I would love to, you want to come on board? I think you should just scream because you'd be outside. But listen, the narrative is, I know, we got to get out of it. The narrative is, the narrative is if you stay in the race, then you and Cuomo will be taking votes away from each other. And that'll make it easier for Mondani to win. Okay. And so, and let's look at the facts of that.

The ballot is the ballot right now. You can't change the ballot. You know, so no matter what happens, you can't change the ballot. There's going to be five people, or even one of the candidates, Jim Walden, try to get off. The court said, no, you can. So the ballot is, the ballot is. the ballot. What people need to focus on and ask themselves is what direction do they want the city to go. That's what we have to ask ourselves. We've come so far, do we want to go back?

Do they want people who want to destabilize our local supermarkets by saying you having government run supermarkets? I've been to Venezuela in Cuba. I don't want those type of supermarkets here, and I don't want to hurt my bodegas, my Dominicans, my Chinese supermarkets. Do you want to legalize prostitution in our city and go back to people's in our street corner. Did he says yes. Don't shut up, man. You came to the city, yes.

Did he want prostitution legalized? What's wrong with you, man? It's true. It's serious. And so it's just a quality of life. You know who hurts the most, brother? Our communities. Our communities can't hire private security.

Our community can't go into making sure that some homeless person is not defecating on their street corners or sitting in their school yard. Our communities will impact, be impacted by these policies that idealism collides with realism. What is Mondani doing better than you? Selling a lie. You know, selling the lie.

You know, he was in assembly men for four years. He missed 50% of his votes. Like, where is his record? The reason you're able to critique me is because I have a record of over 40 years. Over 40 years of doing this. You can't critique him. You know, and he's

just selling the lies. When he was asked the other day, what is your policy on decriminalized prostitution. I haven't figured out yet. Figured that out yet. He's going to sell a lie until he gets into office if he were to win. So the reason you can sit me on the

show and say, okay, here's what you've done. You know, you can't do that with him. You don't know who, we don't know who we have. We have a person that's a good actor, good communicator, and knows how to tell people whatever they want to hear to get elected.

The latest with Lauren Lover. Rosa. Sometimes you have facts, sometimes she has details, sometimes you have a little bit of everything. Well, it's the latest. On the breakfast club. Talk to me. So Mariah Carey has been doing press because she has her new album that will be dropping soon. I believe it actually

comes out tomorrow. And she sat down with Gail King and they talked about a ton of different things. She first got into what it was like for her going through losing her mom and her sister. If you guys don't remember Mariah Carey's mother passed away and on the same

day Mariah Carey's sister passed away. Mariah Carey actually spent the, you know, her last moments with her mom. Let's take a listen to Mariah Carey. Last year, Carrie shared that her mother, Patricia Carey, and her estranged sister Allison died on the same day. How did you navigate that and how did you process that? I don't know how I processed it. I just know that it was extremely difficult for me to navigate and it was tough because I have always had an interesting relationship with my mother. Carrie wrote very candidly about her mother in her 2020 memoir, the meaning of Mariah Carey. Our relationship is a prickly rope of pride, pain, shame, gratitude, jealousy, admiration and disappointment. It hasn't been easy, but towards the end I was with her the whole

time. Yeah, so, and Mariah Care actually did a sit down with Siza for Apple Music, and it was called giving her her flowers or something around that, and she got emotional when talking about her mom again, too, and that sit down. But she also opened up a bit about her relationship with Anderson Park. Let's take a listen. How did it come to be? It's you and Anderson Pack together.

Yes. Did you reach out to him? Did he reach out to you? I reached out to him. Why him? He's brilliant. He's really a great artist. And now, you know, there are pictures of you all holding hands.

Is this just a... He just likes to hold my hand. He just grabs my hand. I don't know what he's doing. Are you saying it's just strictly we're just friends? He's a handholding club. But this is how the rumors start because he was there at Christmas and everybody knows what Christmas means to you.

Yes. So when they saw him with Mariah at Christmas, then people thought, oh, this must be something serious. Well, they better know that it's something special if it's Christmas. You know what I mean. fact that you allowed him to come I'm trying if you enjoyed it did you enjoy it I did there was a hot tub there it was nice I can't tell her Mariah be sounding robotic or she'd just be taking her time because she's Mariah care she's not in a rush she's not to do nothing

ever in this interview she did the whole time she's taking the time even when they walk in she's very like she's like floating in to the apartment and I'm like yes that's how she wrote the diarrated music festival she works like that all the time yeah yeah Like she need help? No, she did have somebody walk her out. Yeah, she did. She looked a little blind. Yeah, you know.

She always has that. Please lead me. Yeah, now she always has that. Somebody leading her. And the wind just finds her. You know, she did the lighting thing at the IHard Festival, too. Remember back in the day, back in the day she came to breakfast club, and she had her own lighting team, and she turned the lights down.

And I was like, well, Mariah, nobody's going to be able to see us. And she was like, that's the whole point, dog. She's like, exactly. The same thing at the Iheartrated music festival. You know, they did the interviews with. the artist backstage. She had her lighting team come in and put up their own lights for her.

She is a diva. I wouldn't tell me when she was coming. I really, really enjoy seeing the diva of Mariah Carey. Like, because she's so unapologetic about being... I don't expect anything else other than that. I love it. When you're Mariah, you can do that. Yes.

Yeah. And that's what I love about it. Speaking of the IHard Festival, too, I saw there was a video that was going viral from when Globe performed because Mariah Carey and Glorilla closed out the IHart Music Festival. And people were trying to point out

the fact that there were empty seats when Glow was performing, which I felt was very unfair. Like, Gloverly did a great job closing out the festival. I thought the video was super unfair, and they were trying to compare it to the fact that Chris Brown was in town. At the same time, the festival was packed. People were there for Chris Brown. Festival sold out.

Yeah, the festival was packed. So I just thought that-I-Hard Radio Music Festival was packed. Yes, I just thought that that was- Chris Brown was with. He was also in Vegas, too. So everybody in Vegas that you were running into for the airport, from the airport to restaurants, they were either there for I-Hard,

or they were there for Chris Brown or both. I know people who like this made money. Oh, went, went insane. And people, you know, be leaving early, but I will say the reality of the situation is on Saturday night, it was Ed Shearing, Mariah Care, and Glorilla. They should have probably switched the lineup. It should have been like Glorilla, Ed Shearing, Mariah Care.

Mariah Care should have closed. Yeah. Yeah. No, I got you. Yeah. And it wasn't like it was a late show. We were out of there about like 10 o'clock, 10.30. So.

It felt late, though. Yes, Ed Shearing, okay? Because the IHart Festival is such a diverse group of people. Like, it's grandmothers, it's grandmothers, it's daughters. But it's different genres of music. Exactly. That country is hip-hop, it's pop. So all the youngans was in there going crazy to Gloverville.

I'm sure. With grandma and mama probably like, hey, man, it's time to go. If you ain't driving, you got to get on the body here. Well, yeah, so, yeah, I just wanted to bring that up. But also, too, in this Mariah Carey interview, I know we got to close out. But y'all remember Nick Cannon was here. He talked about he just found out or got diagnosed as a narcissist.

Crazy. First time I ever heard of it, but yes. Me too, us too. So Mariah Carey in this interview, Her and Gail King talked about this song that she has called, I Won't Allow it. And she talks about someone with narcissistic ways. Let's take a listen.

I won't entertain all your narcissistic ways. I won't allow it. Did you have a specific person in mine or was that just a random thought? Were you looking at a picture? Internally. Why did you want to include that? one. I liked it. I like the vibe

of it, you know, but it's a little saucy. See, somebody up at Gayle show didn't do their show prep. Because they could have tied the knots. Yo. Nick Cannon was just on the breakfast club, gal. As soon as I... I saw that. I saw... Now, I know she didn't probably been wrote this album before Nick came up

here, but it's kind of ironic that he didn't went and found he's diagnosed with this, and she's experienced that with someone... Yeah, but what you mean? Ben wrote the album, he got diagnosed two years ago. Yeah, but he's just not... I've never heard him say that. He just talked about it. he got diagnosed. Oh, you mean they probably talked about it

behind the scenes. You know, that's his life. You know, you're right. People really think these folks don't have no life. They think everything we see online is their whole life.

It's not that we don't think that they don't have a life, but it seems like because even in this interview she didn't even want to talk about him. She told, Gail, I'm going to have his life and I'm going to keep mine. It just seems like she lives a completely separate life. And then the kids go see their day.

Let's not act like. People don't lie about diagnoses. Like, people get on line and say all the time. Things like, you know, you know, I have autism. I have, you know what, and then be like, ah, you find out they weren't really diagnosed, you know? This is just something that they said.

Gail production team should have been on it, though. Yeah. Because, because Gail could have, instead of saying, was that about somebody? Like, we heard. When they can't, it was on a breakfast last week. He was diagnosed with narcissism. That's all I'm saying. That's all I'm saying.

And Mariah. And Mariah would tell producers to do their job. And Mariah would be like, really? He was up there? Good for him. Like, she wouldn't have still gave nothing. She just how she was, really? Yeah.

Well, that? I know what he does. The latest with Lauren. Now, next hour, of course, Just Fix My Mess. So, 800-585-105-1, you can go on the phone lines. If you need Jess to fix your mess, you have a relationship issues or problems or anything, you can call just right now. But Donkey, today's up next. Who are you giving that Donka, too?

We need a vice president, J.D. Vance to come to the front of the congregation. We'd like to have a word with him, please. All right. We'll get to that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. This is a miracle. There is no question that there are problems in this country between police and communication.

yes you are a donkey the latest on that police killing of a black man now to new developments in the deadly spa shooting rampage uh man yesterday it was a really bad day for him and this is what he did and so we are in a state of emergency okay white supremacist violence is it always has been the number one threat to our society but i'm also very proud that my wife is white the breakfast club bitchy all right sure mean please tell me why was i your donkey of the day yes donkey the day for Thursday, September 25th goes the Vice President JD Vance. J.D. Vance at some point, you and other elected officials in the Trump administration have to stop acting like regular, smegular, everyday thumb thugs. Okay, what do I mean when I say thumb thugs? I'm talking to people who get

online and just bang a set. Okay, broadband, bloods and cyber crips. They got a side. They got a team. They got a flag they're carrying and they represent it no matter what. And you can't do that when you are the vice president of the United States of America. even though this administration has made it perfectly clear. They are not an administration for all Americans. They should be. Okay, we should demand that of our elected officials.

All right. See, yesterday morning, a sniper opened fire on an ice agency in Dallas. The shooter fired randomly at the ice building and a van where three detainees were shot. I believe one, maybe two detainees passed away. The other is in critical condition. I'm not sure. The gunman is dead. I do know that.

He committed suicide. And J.D. Vance, the vice president of the United States. United States of America, rush to politicize this situation. Let's listen to what Vice President J.D. Vance had to say. But what we know is that in Dallas, Texas, an ICE facility and Immigrations and Customs Enforcement Facility was opened fire upon by a violent left-wing extremist, a person who wrote anti-ice messaging on their bullets, and they were politically motivated to go after law enforcement. They were politically motivated to go after people who are enforcing our border.

When Democrats, like Gavin Newsom did, say that these people are part of an authoritarian government. When the left-wing media lies about what they're doing, when they lie about who they're arresting, when they lie about the actual job of law enforcement, what they're doing is encouraging crazy people to go and commit violence. You don't have to agree with my immigration policies. You don't have to agree with Donald Trump's immigration policies. But if your political rhetoric encourages violence against our law enforcement, enforcement, you can go straight to hell and you have no place in the political

conversation of the United States of America. That's everything, right? Right? Okay. So much to unpack here. First of all, framing this as an attack on law enforcement when it's not, and you're the vice president of the United States of America is extremely irresponsible. Okay, yes, shell

casings found near the shooter had anti-ice written on them, but JD, you do realize there are people who voted for Trump, who support Trump, who could potentially be anti-ice, as well. You do know that ICE isn't just deporting people who voted Democrat or who support the Democratic

Party. There are plenty of videos online of Trump supporters, highly disappointed because their family members and friends have been deported too. So I don't know why you would rush to frame this as an attack on law enforcement and blame the left wing and radical left rhetoric. Okay,

first of all, it was the detainees who were shot and killed, the detainees who were shot and injured. How do we know that the dehumanizing rhetoric of immigrants didn't lead someone to say, you know what? F their due process. I just want to take them out. How do we know that wasn't the case?

We don't. But I keep telling y'all, these politicians don't care about we the people. They care about their politics. Okay, J.D. Vance is thinking about 2026 and 28. That's why he was quick to come out and criticize Gavin Newsom and left media for their rhetoric about ICE, saying it encourages violent behavior. Let me tell you

something, J.D. It is very true that there have been multiple shooting at ICE agencies in 2025. And I don't don't condone any of them. Okay, there's no justification for them. But if ICE, who is just doing their jobs, has a mandate from the Trump administration to deport one million people annually, okay, not just the criminals and illegals. We see U.S. citizens included in that and folks with pending legal claims, people being wrongly deported because of administrative errors and policy changes, that, watching that is going to drive some people mad. Okay, again, not justifying

any of these shootings that have happened at ICE agencies, but to act like Democratic politicians and left-wing media are the sole reason some people don't like ICE agents well that's just intellectually dishonest okay and ignoring some very obvious issues that are happening in this country that's why I don't understand why some Republicans and the vice president of the United States of America

are so quick to demand that political opponents stop demonizing ICE hey JD Vance and Republicans how about you stop demonizing your political opponents until we get all the facts of the situation okay because the political framing of this being an attack on law enforcement just

isn't true. Okay, the victims weren't ICE agents. It was the people being detained and you're jumping to blame without evidence. We don't know if any political speech led to this violence. We don't know the motivation. We don't know the background. We don't know the mental state of the shooter. It's all still under

investigation. Not to mention. Not dimension, not to mention, not the mention. All the data in this country nowadays points to right-wing extremists being more responsible for acts of political violence in America than the left. The left is pretty, um, pussycat. Whoa, whoa, don't scare me now.

Don't scare me now. I'm just saying, the left is pretty, you know, pretty pussycat, okay? But when the right is quick to blame the left, we overlook the pattern of right-wing political violence. J.D., you are the vice president of the United States of America. I don't understand how y'all ask one side to tone it. down but simultaneously blame Democrats for political violence

and energize more people on the right to potentially commit political violence against Democrats in the left for zero reason. Stop being ready to politicize tragedy. You are the vice president. You need a cautious fact-based approach.

When you frame this as an attack on law enforcement, you shift attention away from things we should be discussing like immigrant rights, detainee safety, conditions in ICE custody, or how detainees are treated those are the relevant issues to this story okay not to mention always common sense gun reform but jd you can't call for restraint while using inflammatory language you can't prematurely attribute motive and intent if you're so worried about the rhetoric from

democrats then make sure your rhetoric matches the facts okay of the situation and framing this as an attack on law enforcement despite no law enforcement being harmed is not the facts of the situation. Please give Vice President J.D. Vance the biggest he-ha. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey of day. Yes, ma'am.

Great choice of words. You scared the hell out of me. All right. Everybody else, just fix my mess. 800-58-105-105-1. If you need some fixing in your life and call us up right now, 800-585-105-1, just to fix your right.

Hello, who's this?

Hello. Hey, what's up, brother? Is Mike? Yes, sir. Mike, what's up, man? What's your question for Jess? The short and sweet version is trying to get some help on my controlling tendencies and adjust. and the non-trust that I got going on in my relationship. Insecurities go ahead. I just, I don't

I've been trying to do better. It hasn't been working out. And now my wife is going to meet some random person at a coffee shop to talk about work. Well, are they, don't fit right? Are they really random?

Or, you know, you said she's going to meet a random person at a coffee shop to go talk about work. Obviously it's not random if it's about work. Have you asked all questions? Yeah. Who is, like, who is the person? Is it a man or a woman?

I believe it's a woman. Okay. That's what I was told. Okay. What does your type of work does she do? U.X. design and research. Okay. So what's so bad about this?

Now, listen, before you answer that, do you think it's you or do you really believe that she's cheating? Some type of infidelity is going on? Do you believe it is you in your own way? It's 100% of me. Okay. So you are aware first, okay? Now, what is the problem?

I don't know, just don't sit right. There's a part of me that is worried because there... I'm Jorge Ramos. And I'm Paola Ramos. Together we're launching The Moment, a new podcast about what it means to live through a time, as uncertain as this one. We sit down with politicians.

Okay. And it's listed on her indeed, and I'm a glass empty, half-empty kind of guy. Are you? So I always think the worst. Yeah. Now, are you just a person with severe paranoia, or are you madly insecure about your wife cheating on you? Great question.

Yeah. I mean, to be honest, to be honest, I guess I have to say I'm different. Paranoia is different from insecure. It's different. That means you're not only paranoid about your wife losing her life or being injured, you're also paranoid about yourself and your children or your

family members. It's just the world is against you. Anything can happen. Those are people you know, there are people that have you know, they're radically paranoid, you know, but then insecurity is a different thing because then that's more so like only geared to your relationships.

Yeah. I would say it's a little bit of both, but I would probably probably lean towards the paranoia. Okay. Okay. So you need a therapist. You need to work. That's because you have to, you have to work on yourself. Has your wife ever cheated on you that you know of that you can prove before? No. Okay. Yeah, this is a you thing. And that's good, that's good

because that's what you told me at the beginning of the call. You need more to me to fix your mess. You need a therapist. You need to, you know, no, but I love that you are aware. You know, you need a professional that like an expert somebody that I'm not for people getting on medicine or anything like that because you seem well aware of everything that's going on you just know that you have a problem and I think you should talk to a professional and sit down like individually not even with your wife therapy with your wife would be second but first you have to get you have to

get your mental together because there's no I'm not going to say there's no reason that you should be thinking like that especially in 2025 this world today, but I can imagine that only heightens, you know, the state of the country that we're in. That only heightens your paranoia, but you definitely need professional help, brother. All right. I will look into that. I appreciate your help, and I love everything you guys do.

I listen every morning. Thank you, thank you. Hello, who's this? Hey, my head, DeAndre. Hello, DeAndre. What's your question, brother? Well, Beyonce, she posted her trainer on Instagram, and, you know, what she posted on

she had a little caption or whatever but the song in the background was like I'm your nasty dancer dancing for money doing what you want you know that song yeah yeah yeah am I tripping is that like a weird post yeah it's a little inappropriate this is your wife

you said my fiance well your fiance okay yeah and her trainer is a guy of course yeah all right so unless that's her cousin like a long time ago episode of of loving hip hop when I remember when Yandy had the cousin who was the trainer and she posted and Mnbisi had a problem with that that was her husband whether that's her cousin or not

don't be putting my wife on the page and you don't be posting nothing like that with you know inappropriate lyrics you can work out and um and do it in an appropriate way and still market the way that you need to market yourself as working out or the trainer without the song you know, without, without the, is it a boot shot? Like, is it a... She posted him. But that's the part, for his birthday. She posted him for his birthday.

Oh. With that song in the background. Oh, yeah, that's very inappropriate. She posted it, it's his birthday, and then the song just as, yeah, no, that's, yeah, that's, yeah, I don't like it. Did you talk to her about it? Yeah, I talked to her about it. It's like one of those things she don't see it as an issue that made it worse. I'm like, I don't get, like, I'm telling you her support.

problem. And she didn't take it down? No, uh-huh. Yeah, you got bigger problems on your hands, brother. Something's game. Something ain't right. You know. Yeah, and that's the fine. I know I wasn't tripping. No, you're not tripping. That's your fiancé. That's the reason why I got to. Yeah, you ain't

tripping. I'm here to tell you. Envi, you think you tripping? Hell no. Yeah, I don't think you tripping at all. What was the song? I'm your dancer. Dancer for money. Do what what you want me to do. Hey, I'm good. That's all. Nasty dancer.

She should have posted friends. How many of us have the nasty dancer? Like, sexy dancer. Right. It's your birthday? Mm-hmm. And you post him. She posted the trainer for his birthday, put that on there.

And even when he bought it to her attention, she said, she didn't see what was wrong with it. And she didn't take it down. He got a bigger fish to fry. Wow. Bigger problems. Yep, you ain't crazy. So whatever you're saying about doing, do it.

Okay. All right. Appreciate you all. No problem. All right, bro. Just fix me. My mess, 800585.15.1. Now, when we come back, we got the latest with Lauren. I know Lauren's going to jump into this record. It sounds like it's a Remy Mom, new record, and she's

throwing some bars. We'll see when we come back. It's the breakfast club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Lauren becoming a straight fit. She gets into 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 LaRosa Sometimes you have facts

Sometimes you have details Sometimes you have a little bit everything What's the latest? On the breakfast club Talk to me All right I know I've been Mariah Carey obsessed Since the IHurt music festival But I got one last thing

We gotta do with Mariah Because the people are dragging Talil Tileo is a streamer Who is friends with Kaisanat He was on hot ones Which is a showin complex Where you know they eat the hot chicken wings And they're talking

They're talking about Mafia Thon And they ask Who was the worst? guest that came on Mafia Thon. Let's take a listen to what he said. The worst celebrity in Mafia Town 3. The word celebrity that has came to Mafia Thoree, Mariah Carey. Damn. And I only say, and I only say Mariah Carey because I feel like her intention was to promote her album. And, and I don't feel like it's nothing wrong with that. You feel

I'm saying? Because business, business, you got to respect good business. You feel I'm saying. But what was the exchange for us? Like, I know she didn't want to sing. I know she don't want to dance. You feel I'm saying. But I feel like, Kai, he held up his inner burger. She She promoted her album, I spoke to KT, he did everything that he wanted, he did everything that, that probably was her team attentions and her attentions. And I feel like it wasn't really, it wasn't really nothing in change. If you're going to come on Mafia Dawn, you have to come and you have to be vulnerable. You feel what I'm saying?

You have to come, be ready to come, come have fun. That's what they're excitement. When you're coming to Mafia on, you don't know what to expect. It's like a foul dream. You don't know what to expect when you're saying? So that's our field. So folks mad at that young man for his opinion? They are.

I think he articulated that very well. He was asked the question. answer. Exactly. I mean, so for me, I wasn't upset at what he said. I thought he was just being honest, but what the upset is, it's Mariah Carey. She's a legend. There should be more respect about if she chooses not to do certain things, she chooses

not to do that. But I will say, I went back and watched the stream again because when I watched it when she was there and I didn't remember it being like boring, but there wasn't like jump out moments. It's Mariah Carey. But listen, she did a lot of things that he said that she didn't do. So he said she didn't want to sing.

They were doing a spelling beat and she actually, she sung with them a couple of times. So let's take a listen to Mariah Carey singing during the spelling bee. Incessantly. Incessantly? What that mean? Incessantly means some that happens over and over. Oh, inscessantly? It's one of my songs.

Heartbreak, you've got the best of me. But I'll just keep on coming back incessily. I had no idea what that word was. All this shit, I would just hunt me. By the way, I don't think none of this is that deep. If there was people who watched that interview and enjoyed it, great. But they asked him a question.

That's how he felt. Who he thought was the worst guess, and that was his answer. The people always going to come out swinging, I think, when it comes to just people of a certain, like. Lambs. Yeah, no, the lambs are, but it's not even just the lambs. It's people in general saying this is disrespectful. And I think it's, I think it's an age thing for sure. And also, you know, you just regard Mariah Carey a certain way.

Yeah, he wasn't, he didn't disrespect her anything like that. That was his opinion, but it's like, I don't know where he saw her do anything that he described before in life. You know what I'm saying? Like, you know what I mean? I don't think it's an age thing. Is this how they feel like the interview did? If it would have been a younger artist and they feel like the artist didn't give what they were supposed to give. I think they would have said the same thing.

And I will say even in the comments from when the stream was up, if you look at the comments on YouTube, the fans weren't saying that. They were like, yo, this is legendary. It's Mariah Carey. Do we understand how big this is? And that was the first time, Kai said that they had ever revealed an album cover. on the stream because Mariah Carey's album that she's been promoting, they revealed

the cover there. He said it's the first time they got to do that. She FaceTimed one of her kids. Her son was in the chat while they were doing it. She was in the chat. I do agree with, what's his name, Tileau? I do agree with what he said as far as, you know, coming on there to promote your album. Like, that's a given. They know you're on there to promote something, but don't be so obvious about it.

Don't go there like it's a regular promo stop. Go there just to kick it and be relaxed. That's what I'm saying, though. She was as relaxed as Mariah Carrie would be she was chilling I didn't watch it up and down it got to a point where like the Spelling B words was so like it was it was the words was killing them I didn't see it either but I'm not gonna argue with that man's opinion he was asked the question

that was his opinion rightfully so rightfully so she even did the motivational speech we have first speech let's take a listen hold on the hope no matter what's going on in your life pray when you need to pray and don't ever let anybody you down. Pray when you need to pray.

Hey, drink water, too, kids. Drink when you're thirsty. Eat when you're hungry. Hey, don't put in anything metal in electric chocolate. Sleep where you need to sleep. You're going to sleep when you're tired. What the hell?

And she told her. I mean, maybe people needed to hear that basic ass ones. That's what you're positive. Bring that back in a positive note. She told them she told them she was. we get them Christmas because she did the best she could okay well what she got that's what Mariah do right does she tell them to bring an umbrella

when it rains no but that you know that would have been golden white your ass with all the paper that's stupid well uh in other music news yeah let's get to this come on yeah so Rumi Ma right there's a song circulating right now it's from uh Connie Diamond

who is a music artist from the Bronx y'all may know her from the song Get On Ratchet we have that song love Connie Diamond Yes, so Connie Diamond dropped a project called Underdog Season 2. On that project, there's a song called Head Tap. Remy Ma is on the verse, and people

are saying that this is a disc toward Clarissa Shills. Let's take a listen. We don't want that. No. But Remy Rappin going back to prison. Oh, Remy Rappin. I love hearing Remy Rambi, but I don't want her to go back to prison, Remy. This is just bars, okay? Just bars. She said, why would I fight you when I got a gun, bitch?

So, I was told, I talked to Connie Diamond yesterday, and she told me that this was not a diss at Clarissa Shields. It was There's Remy in the booth rapping, and that's what she does. They made the song, but now, we'll be fair. Connie said it. Did you reach out to Remy, though? Remy's not good.

No, I didn't reach out to Remy. That's a good point. Good point, Jess. Well, you, y'all talk to Remy directly, so, and please reach out for me because she's not asking Remy about no goddamn verse. That's why we did. That's why I called Connie. Because Connie gave you the PR answer.

I like that. I love that. Connie get busy, too, though. If it was that, Connie would still on it. I'll give you Remy number. You call it. Yeah, but she can't. She still can't ask for another person.

I'm like, are you dumb? She still can't answer for another person, though, you know? Well, so here is what fans are pointing out. Of course, you know, your number two, I'm number one. Clarissa is, you know, the quote. And she proudly says and tells people she is number one. They also, you know, they were arguing. Yes, but, I mean, just the play on the numbers.

But also, too, they're back and forth about Papuosen, who's his girlfriend, not girlfriend, all those things. And then the, why would we fight when I got a gun? Y'all remember Clarissa Shields invited. me mod to get in a boxing ring and then said she would fight her for a dollar like all the things so people are like you know this this was a shot but kind of diamond told me that it's not and i didn't call remi but okay yeah well it was a great verse carissa rap too she said so yeah oh no she'll get in the booth let me she's matter of fact now she got music that we got an album coming out yeah she has the album

coming out but she also posted yesterday at the clarissa shills posted at the shooting range and she wanted people to know she's licensed and she got something on her hip It's silly. Now, this is ridiculous. Now, this is silly. Stop! And we shouldn't even be having this conversation. Like, this is silly.

It's not like we're encouraging it in a way. No. Yeah. No. Like, no. I'm not encouraging it. I just like Remy Rapping. That's all.

I love Remy Rapping. That's it. Mm-hmm. Oh, boy. All right. You're going to call her? No. Jess, would it be the caller?

I ain't calling her. I'm just saying, like, if we're going to talk about some shit, you know what I'm saying, if we want to have to talk about it or we don't bring it up at all? and if that is a shot toward whoever and it's another person in the gun range whatever whatever is just talking about it it ain't you know

egging it on it's like all right what's going to happen we're going to see because we should just be talking about the verse see what happens on social media they start bringing in all kind of stuff that don't got nothing to do with the rap she was like no I just thought the verse was dope no I was the one

there was a gun range that's what you do I'm not trying to hear that because when anytime there's there's bars dropped and it's a battle and it's guys, y'all pick apart the words and pick it here and blah, blah, blah, blah, but the minute we do, we're encouraging and blah, blah, blah.

Because usually the guys are, and we got to bring in mental health and then you go see it there for life. Well, also, too, can I say something else? Can I say something else that nobody wants to say? Yes, sir. Remy actually. You know what I mean? You know what I'm saying? You know what I mean?

You know what? Because I don't want to. Because it's the radio. People listening, they can't see so what. What did she? What did she? What did she go to prison for, guys? She said it She said in the right I didn't want her to go back Guys, guys Connie said it wasn't about that
