You're listening to an iHeart Podcast. I'm Andrea Gunning, host of the podcast Betrayal. Police Lieutenant Joel Kern used his badge to fool everyone. Most of all, his wife, Caroline. He texted, I've ruined our lives. You're going to want to divorce me. How far would he go to cover up what he'd done? The fact that you lied is absolutely

horrific and quite frankly I question how many other women are out there that may bring forward allegations in the future.

Hopefully you guys are having a great time Hopefully I took off Friday and got a four-day week and that's what I tried to do. I'm actually in st. Martin. We don't Say Martin is they do the thing called soul beach each and every year which is put on by Sinbad and his brother So salute to Sinbad and mark his brother They usually do it in a ruble, but they moved it to st Martin and as soon as I landed they were like Charlemagne's here all the time Charlemagne lands in here all the time And he goes to the other island I go to Anguilla baby, you already know but I can salute everybody in St. Martin They always show me and my family a lot of love when I'm there for 30 minutes

Yeah, so why? Cuz it was like they were like tell him to stay here. We have nice things here. Tell him to enjoy the island I was like he loves Anguilla. He has some roots in Anguilla. He just loves it I mean roots I know roots in Anguilla is a stretch, but I got, you know. Very much a stretch. Yeah. I got good peoples out there though. Love Anguilla.

Love the island of Anguilla. Love St. Martin too though, man. Just love the island people. The reason we don't care though is because you know the Breakfast Club is a nationally syndicated platform. So the reason we don't care that you're in St. Martin, Envy, is because we're here in New York City where it's raining. It's cold. it's 45 degrees.

It's 62 degrees and we're low at 48. We still got on hoodies. Last night I was in the street with a little light jacket on and I was like, what is going on? I had on that sort of thing. You see what I'm saying? If y'all don't believe climate change is real, I don't know what to tell you.

Y'all done messed up this planet. Not me, see I got my little toes out right now. Whoa, bro, I just saw a ball. Put your leg down. Come on, relax. You can't, you ain't got basketball shorts on with no drawers. I I got drawers on there. You just showed everybody a ball for no reason. We did not just need to see that testicle. This is a family show. Oh my goodness. Yes so it's 88 degrees here. Shout to a laser 101 St. Martin and it's their radio station. They allow me to come here and actually do my show from here. That way they got strong Wi-Fi, they got ethernet cables, so we're good money. Now who we got on the show today?

Today we have David Hogg. He is an American gun control activist and political strategist and co-chair of the DNC. You remember David Hogg? He was here back in the day after the Parkland shooting. Yeah. But now he's the co-chair of the DNC, so he'll be here because he's got some very interesting

stuff going on as far as wanting to switch out leadership in the Democratic Party but Linnae Benee will be here as well you know if you know anything about the internet which I'm sure a lot of y'all do she has a show online called a Parking Light Pimpin and she gives a lot of social commentary from there but she's got a new show out on Revolt called the People's Brief okay she'll be here to talk about that. All right we got a lot to discuss today. Lauren is out today. She was actually-

All right, somewhere warm too. Yeah, she was heading to the DR and because of Kid Cudi and the Diddy case, she stayed a little extra to see what Kid Cudi was gonna say. She missed her flight. So she just landed this morning in the DR. So we're gonna hold it down for the latest with Lauren.

She should have left that damn courthouse. She could have got all that transcript from online You can't laugh. I told you I'd tell her that this week. But Lauren be getting stuff that don't nobody else get like You know what the celebrities keep saying Everybody in the courtroom. The details of the details. I mean everybody in the courtroom getting the same information I'm happy that she's there, but Jesus Christ. People always say she say stuff that don't nobody else say. They do they absolutely do. She just shouldn't know that you can't let it consume you to the point where you missing your damn flight.

And it's a business trip for her too. So that's why she had to get her ass out there. Alright, well let's get the show cracking. We got front page news. Morgan will be joining us and we got a lot to break down today. There's so much in the news this morning. We got to talk Diddy, Kid Cudi, Remy, Pap. There's a lot. So much. We'll get on to it. Jess is gonna be holding it down. I'm sorry?

Huh? Ha! Oh, now y'all wanna give me the drawback. Okay! It's the Breakfast Club, good morning. Morning everybody, it's D-E-J-N-V Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy, we are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news.

Start off with sports now, OKC beat the Timberwolves last night, 118-103, they lead that series to nothing. Yo, Ant-Man, Ant Man Julius Randall, which I'm gonna do y'all gonna make this a series Are we just gonna have to sleep through the Western Conference finals? I? Don't know I actually need Minnesota to win because I think if the Knicks do win We have a better shot at beating the Timberwolves in okc But I gotta beat beat the paces first and if we play the paces tonight at 8 p.m. So you worried about the wrong things you need to focus on them damn paces and make sure that the Knicks can beat them. Okay. No, I know. What's up, Morgan?

Hey, happy Friday. How we feeling? All right, let's get into it So first on front page president Trump says lowering the cost of drugs may end up being the most significant thing his administration Will do he made the comments speaking at the make America healthy event again drugs may end up being the most significant thing his administration will do. He made the comments speaking at the Make America Healthy Again event, or Make America Healthy Again event, adding that he challenges high drug prices and that will resonate for generations to come. Now last week, Trump signed an executive order aimed at slashing prescription drug prices.

He said the U.S. will no longer foot the bill for lower drug prices in other countries. So let's take a listen to President Trump at his Make America Healthy Again event. And now they're going down maybe by 85, 80. I'm telling you, 89% in two instances, 89% cut. Nobody's ever seen anything like it. We were subsidizing the whole world.

And I said, we're not going to do that anymore. We've been a laughing stock for so many years. The last four years we've been a laughing stock. I said it we were a laughing stock and now we're the most respected. I'm still confused by this Morgan because the Inflation Reduction Act is already in place. Like the inflation reduction that was put in was actual legislation passed by the Biden administration and that lowered prescription drug costs and made health insurance more affordable. So and that's actual legislation not an executive order. So what is what Trump did better than that? Oh no it's not necessarily that it's better but you know the Republicans don't like the Inflation Reduction Act

and it doesn't necessarily address those overseas costs on certain things. Now Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. released his Make America Healthy Again report, saying it's a call to action for common sense. Now, he believes it's a roadmap for federal agencies to use to reduce chronic childhood illness. And at the top of the list was poor diet, an estimated 70% of U.S. kids' calories coming from ultra-processed foods. U.S. kids' calories coming from ultra processed foods. U.S. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rawlins also talked about reforms in food stamps. Let's take a listen to their comments.

Kennedy and Rawlins. It's common sense that not all calories are equal in nutritional value. It's common sense that over medicicating kids is dangerous. We are on track to sign multiples of SNAP waivers to get junk food and sugary drinks out of our food stamp system. And I am so proud. So other points from the MAHA report include too many environmental chemicals in our food,

lack of activity and chronic stress, and the over-prescription of medication for kids. Of course, they're talking about trans and on things like that. Kennedy says the US must act decisively to reverse the childhood chronic disease crisis. Now in other news, Harvard University can no longer enroll foreign students. That's according to Homeland Security, Kristi Noam, who sent a letter to Harvard informing them that their eligibility or their ability to enroll foreign students at their university has been revoked. She says the university has not fully complied with all reporting requirements to DHS, including

providing detailed records of foreign students' misconduct on campus. I'm not going to toss to her audio, but the Trump administration has already yanked millions in federal grants meant for the university. I anticipate seeing more of this with other institutions of higher education who decide to buck back against the Trump administration so we will continue to keep you posted on what happens in these types of situations these types of instances that's your legal I mean I don't know I hate these things and I don't know they're legal and I don't know don't sound like that

something you should be you can just do do, but can you? Are you worried about legal with Donald Trump? Right. I'm like, you keep asking this question every day. Yeah, that's right. I don't know why I do that. There is no rule of law when it comes to the Trump administration. You're absolutely right. There you go. You're absolutely right. All right. So that covers 6 a.m. at 7 a.m. We're going to get some more details on this shooting that happened in Washington, D.C. at the Capitol Jewish Museum. All right. everybody else, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051.

If you need to vent, phone lines are wide open. Again, 800-585-1051. Call us up right now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. This is your time to get it off your chest. 800-585-1051.

We want to hear from you on the Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? This is Wesley from Atlanta. Wesley from the A. Get it off your chest. Hey, well, good morning to you guys. I got a theory. I think what's going on with Trump is the fact that everybody in the government really want him to do what he wants, what he's doing.

I'll be thinking that too, brother. He's doing exactly what the plan is, you know what I'm saying? He's getting things in order when it comes to finances and for the country. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not a Trump fan, but when I look at all of our constituents, Democrats, Republicans, independents, everybody's just talking. Nobody's really doing anything. You know what I'm saying? Listen, I agree with you 100%. Like it makes no sense.

Like even, you know, when you think about the last four years when Biden was in office, they told us, you know, how much of a threat that Donald Trump was, but they never acted like he was one. And then, you know, when he wins and they're just like welcome home it almost feels like everybody's in cahoots with each other because if they weren't I would feel like it'd be more resistance. Right. You know? Exactly, exactly. Now the other thing I do want to say this, you want to say this Charlemagne you ask all the time what can we do? Like every major government in history,

for the most part, has been overgrown by the people. I don't think it's gonna be in the government. I think it's gonna have to be somebody that's gotta stand up and take a million people to the White House and say, we want him out. You know what I'm saying? You talking about protesting. Yeah, that ain't going anywhere.

If you're talking peaceful protesting, anything else like that. No, no, no. The day that happened. I mean, I'm not'm not saying go up in arms and stuff like it's a little bit over thrown by the people you know yeah that ain't gonna happen here yeah the day that happened they gonna activate martial law I don't see that I let a million people show up to the White

House and watch yeah I don't see that going down thank you brother Thank you, brother Close the line, my homie Drew, Drew Richard with the film out here. And everybody doing a big number. Shout out to my homie Chase Body with his music, promoting his music and stuff, man. Everybody just doing big numbers, man. I just want to shout out to everybody from the Port who's doing a big number. All right, brother. We'll salute to you. Get it off your chest, 800-585-1051.

If you need the vent, call us up right now. It's The Breakfast Club, good morning. The Breakfast Club. Ray, Ray, Ray. Yo, Charlamagne. Kenzie, what up? Are we live? This is your time to get it off your chest.

I got an indoor pool, an outdoor pool. We wanna hear from you on The Breakfast Club. We can get on the phone right now, he'll tell you what it is. We live! Hello, who's this? Hello, this is Will from South Carolina. Hey, what part of South Carolina are you calling from?

King Street, South Carolina. Oh, King Street, man. I used to have a ball out in King Street at the Nightlife, man. What do you know about the Nightlife, man? Why don't you play with me? You know I'm from Moscow. I used to host parties at the Nightlife. Back in like, 01, when I was working at High 98.9 9 and Charleston I used to be at the nightlife like every every Friday Yes, sir, okay, but I want to have a conversation to my homeboy my brother. Yes, I'm an activist here in South Carolina Y'all would have the conversation

Last week I think about Elaine about do process, you know, yes, sir about Mary Lane about Duke Parsons, you know? Yes, sir. Okay, here in South Carolina, they had the mother and two daughters that killed a mother's day in 2022. I'm sure you're familiar with that. The officer was gone on the call, her lights wasn't on, and she killed the whole family. So they had a jury. The jury came back and convicted them on all charges, even tapping with evidence, because when she hit them, her lights wasn't on, and she turned the light on after, so that tap it with evidence because when she hit them her light was on and she

turned the light on after so that's happening whatever that we went there every day trying to fight the case that convicted looking at 45 years the judge came back and gave him gave the officer three years three years and she was convicted and then we're talking about due process this has been going on ever since Rodney King. All eight of the officers back then, if you remember or recall, we saw they beat Rodney King, put them with a stick.

They gotta quit it. So due process is not for us. It's not for us. It's only for the people that put in place to help them. They're the one who making the ball. So how will we get through process? But they want us to be patient and understand and go through the process.

And we be patient and go through the process if that doesn't work for us. So when do we stop and start saying, it's enough? Well, I'm a little confused on what you're presenting right now because I mean you're talking about police officers, not regular everyday citizens. So of course, you know, we see police officers get off off all the time but that's because they're police officers.

Oh you dropped the job? Damn. Yeah I don't understand what he was saying. Hello who's this? You're with me. What up Chad? Jeff Hilarious. Hey boo. What's up Charlamagne? Peace sis, what's happening?

I know, gay as hell. He ain't never been this gay on the radio Trav. He's always gay. What are you talking about? I know he's gay but he don't be sounding gay. That was crazy. You asked him what's the song inspired by that he said no. No. Bye. I know why he sound like that. Why? Because two hours ago he probably was getting bottomized. That's what happens. Dance all night. That's what happens. Bottomized is wild.

Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need the venue, you can hit us up. Now, Lauren is out today, so Jess is giving us that mess. Yes, period. That's what it is.

It's just back in the room because for some reason I can't see the view of the room now. No, Lauren is in the DR.

She's in the Dominican Republic. What's she doing? Is she getting her body done or she just, she hosting something out there? She's something with her arms. She just wanted to get her arms done. Oh, okay. She wanted to get her arms done.

She got them heroin addict arms, so she wanted to get a little protein in her arms from what I was told. Okay, but nothing with the wig though. She come back looking diesel like Popeye. You know what I mean? We know why. All right.

But Jessica Robin Moore is here. So Jess, are we calling this Jess with the Mess, or this is the latest with Lauren, and you just have a death? What did he say? Are we calling it Jess with the Mess, or is it going to be the latest with Lauren? What you want to do right now?

Whether it's McAlloy, Jessica Robin Moore, Jens don't do no lying. She don't scare nobody. Worldwide Jess, worldwide master. On The Breakfast Club.

She's a coacheship. She was able to get y'all to see something and understand something that nobody could get you to see. It's time to set it all. Now you get that finger ready. Hey yo, I ain't ready to do that. You're lying for life. Don't do all of that.

You get that finger ready. Nah, I'm not doing that. So y'all remember. She got this. She got this. Rym and Pap, all right. Y'all, y'all do remember they back at it again. Back in December last year, Rym exposed the relationship between Pap and Clarissa Shells

or whatever. And it was a big thing that happened or whatever. Now they back for round two. So Clarissa was up here on the Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club always get people in trouble. As if you're not a member? Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I didn't ask the question.

Oh boy. I don't believe that. So it's always on you. You always act like you don't know what's going on. I don't believe that. But we got the audio play that because she spoke on something. I don't really have to argue about anybody about where my spot is with him You know, it's like that's not my place now

There are things that got to get handled but it's still it's not even my stuff to handle. Yeah I you said there's some things he needs to handle. What do you mean by that? It's the elephant in the room I don't have to say it in his personal life But that takes time and like I said, that's not my place to speak on you know, I'm saying like it again I just know that from my perspective. I'm saying the wrong like but that takes time and like I said, that's not my place to speak on You know I'm saying like it'd get handled. I just know that from my perspective I'm with him. I'm with him every day and when I'm not with him, we're on the phone every day We love each other. So that's just kind of what it is. So the all is already given Yeah, that's we talk about so many different things is clarifying That's do have to get taken care of but like, you know, once again, it's not it's not for me

You know, I'm saying like I'm not I'm not married so that was just voice right Yeah, I was just trying to get clarity on what I like up there It was all that was already given out that did it I think that did it that did it that's a great where me don't like being called an elephant You know me because she got upset and then she she caught wind of the interview when she hopped on live to give her side of things Don't nobody fall in love faster than somebody with nowhere to stay. I literally told him every time your come up your current come up says my name or does something that I feel is trying to attack me in any type of way I'm'm gonna drag you. And I haven't even been dragging them.

Bad enough, you got my daughter's mom out here looking crazy because you refused to tell people, me and Ram haven't even slept in the same bed since May 2022. You were so wrapped up in the whole black love thing. That was your thing. That was your, that was the only thing you had. And I realized that. And I respected that.

You know what? I don't need to be out here telling people you ain't this and you ain't got this and you ain't doing this and you ain't that. Whoever get you, yeah see. And when she also spoke on why the divorce is taking so long. You moved on, great. I'm trying to understand what's the holdup. What's the holdup?

Who's holding what up? I had my lawyer called like yo, we sent them the email, right? He gave his lawyer information. Yeah, you got it. You called them, right? What did she say? She said he hasn't retained her yet. If you don't go pay that lady, I said, okay, maybe it's not there. Maybe, you know, hey, guess what? It could save both of us some money. We don't got to have all our business out there. We don't have to do all of these. I paid my lawyer already. Let's get a mediator. I don't want nothing. I don't want nothing. I'm not asking for child support, spousal support. I don't want no cars. I don't want no credit. I'm not giving nobody anything. There's neither.

Yo, and then y'all know, so when this thing blew up, there's always been speculation about who left who. Did Pat leave her because she cheated or did she leave him because she got tired of him, whatever. She also made it clear yesterday that it never, they didn't end. She didn't leave him because of infidelity. Infidelity ain't have nothing to do with our breakup. Because guess what? I'm such a real one, I know the procedure when somebody goes to prison when I came home now, I would straight through that phone immediately

I know what was up when I had to fight baby mothers at mother-in-law's houses on Thanksgiving I knew that girl wasn't lying about what she was saying was going on while I was there. I knew she was I'm just was mad I just was mad. I knew she wasn't lying though I knew she wasn't lying, I just was mad. I just was mad. I knew she wasn't lying though. So basically, that's what I said. Which I didn't know about the fights that I had to fight baby mothers on Thanksgiving, right?

In these houses, y'all don't know about, cause I'm not no corny ass. So she didn't even leave him after that. Go ahead, what you say? No, I was gonna say, I don't like seeing Remy and Papoose like this. Like both of them have always been super solid, but I can understand why Remy's upset.

Yeah. Cause if you're dealing with somebody, if you're dealing with something like a divorce, you don't want to hear the person's new boo speaking on y'all in any way, shape, or form. In any type of way, even though Clarissa didn't really say, like didn't say her name, or didn't even really say anything, like, yeah.

Violent or, you know, to her, she still just didn't want to. But the thing is, well, first of all, you're dealing with two of the slickest mouths in the industry right now. So they're going to go back and forth all day long. But the only thing is I hate to say it because I know Remy and I know Pap. But the only bad thing about it is if they both moved on, right?

I think Remy moved on, Pap moved on, we don't want to see this playing out, right? Their daughter is going to get to age where she sees stuff online and they love their daughter, they love their kids. I hate seeing this. I hate what she's saying. Well let's be honest, we don't want to see see it playing out but we want to see it playing out. We're not the generation of days our lives in bold and beautiful this our story. You're right and this is also y'all gotta think about what she dealing with too when she wake up and she see like you

know how long people been telling her oh it's her fault like she cheated and she you know what I mean like I be seeing people come for both of them but come for Remy Moore like they've been on her ass. Yeah, they've been coming for her. And if you have not been speaking on somebody and you hear that new boo speaking on y'all relationship, you feel like it's coming from your ex. So I can see why that would be true. Yeah, and so because that means you're talking about what's going on, you know, and she's

going in all these interviews and she's saying, she's not touching it all the way, but she's touching on it, you know what I mean? The elephant in the room. She did make it clear why she left. She ain't even leave after all of that. She left. This is why she left. When I didn't want a manager anymore, when I didn't want somebody taking 20% out of my

check and I still pay all the bills anymore, when I decided that I didn't like being guilt tripped, I was there when nobody else was there. That's the type of people that gets preyed on. I'm the one that said, Hey, please leave. Why are we doing this? Like this doesn't make sense. Like, y'all believed me when I said, this is the most amazing person ever in the whole world. That's why I think that because I didn't see it. I'm lying I did stupid like hey, look at my new truck. It's a push gift. I bought that I saw I did do something to put the sauce on it But that's what you're supposed to do when you love somebody in a relationship you make them see like that bigger than what they are

Yeah, and you know, she was live for 80 minutes. That was just the first time Yeah, I was about to say I didn't hear none of this yesterday. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, no How long was she going to laugh for he went live for 80 minutes the first time. Y'all was about to say I didn't hear none of this yesterday. Yeah yeah yeah oh no. How long was she going to lie for? She went live for 80 minutes the first time and then Pat he he he felt the low trigger it was a whole back and forth we ain't gonna get to everything but it was a lot he said this. You know it's true I wrote tons of her music 90% of her music I wrote it since I've been around her. I wrote probably like three songs on her first album. If I listen to it, I'll tell you exactly what I wrote and when you listen to it, y'all know my pen. The only reason why I'm mentioning that is because you fabricated. You fabricated and you talked about

my children. And as a father, I was not going to allow that. I've allowed you to do what you've been doing all this time And I said nothing. She got mad at me because I went live and said I didn't knock this lame out. Now, as a hip hop fan, that's what I need proof of. Mm hmm. Well, that's a hell of a that's a hell of a accusation that you wrote. You wrote Remy's 90 percent of Remy's first album.

And then I saw Pap say last night that he wrote a conceded. Yeah, I got it. Pap, you gotta provide the proof of that. It's one of her biggest songs. I don't care about the relationship stuff, that's y'all business. But as a hip hop fan, I gotta see some proof of that. And then also, she wanted him to show proof also that she tried to get back with him. Because when he said that, he said, yo, you was just trying to get back with me last night. And I said, no, she went live again. We don't got time to play all that.

But it's basically, it's a lot and then also our biggest argument was like yo I just I want the divorce you know she was saying like if you can't afford the lawyer I'll pay for it or whatever right and then so he posted out of no way yeah like filing was the easiest thing to do and she said if you look on a date yo you just filed this today well this was yesterday when he was live, but he had just went to file Yesterday that the date is on a paperwork and everything Clarissa also took the Twitter To confirm some things and uh, yeah y'all going there One quick question. What's up? Why do we always say the elephant in the room? Has there ever been an elephant in any room? No, and how did it get there? No, why like why do we say that?

But I guess because that's the biggest thing Because you know, it's a reference nobody guess that's the biggest thing in the room. The biggest thing in the room that nobody's talking about. The biggest thing in the room. How could you ever ignore an elephant in the room? Who bought it there though? No idea. You know Michael Jackson used to have animals everywhere. He didn't buy an elephant.

We don't know. We don't know an elephant in a room that I know of. Okay. That's the question. But anyway, I hate to see this. I mean, like I said, we love both of them. And like Charlamagne said, we are hip hop heads. I mean, R said, we love both of them and like Charlamagne said we are hip-hop heads I mean Remy has been spitting since

Remy raps. That's the only thing I need proof of all that relationship stuff But you also know they try to hurt each other like they're trying to hear like they're so upset They will say anything to hurt each other. We don't necessarily know what's false. What's true, but they're trying to hurt each other That's how you know, that's a hip-hop couple. That's how you heard I wrote your rap true but they're trying to hurt each other. That's how you know that's a hip-hop couple. That's how you heard that I wrote your rap. What? But you don't remember a couple of months ago she was like I know you gonna come out and say you wrote my raps. Nobody gonna believe that. Like she did say that he so that this must have been being said for years like even when they was together and arguing he must have said it. He might have been rapping it when they was arguing. What's the couple of things you don't want to hear is somebody got a small peepee did anybody say that yet?

Started on the breakfast club. This is what Doing that Alright when we come back we got front page news, so don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning Morning everybody is DJ NV Jess Hilarious Charlamagne the guy we are the Breakfast Club Let's get in some front page news now last night Okay, see beat the Timberwolves they are leading that series to nothing and tonight my New York Knicks take on the paces at 8 p.m We are home. We're at the garden We're gonna win this one. We got a witness when we can't play with you, Indiana You just played with him last game. You right? We ain't playing with him no more. What's up, Morgan?

All right, let's get into it So more details are coming out about the shooting that took place at the Capitol Jewish Museum in Washington, DC That left two Israeli embassy staffers dead in Washington DC that left two Israeli embassy staffers dead. Yaron Lissinsky and Sarah Milgram were gunned down outside the Capitol Jewish Museum shortly after 9 p.m. on Wednesday night. A man identified as Elias Rodriguez faces two counts of first-degree murder, along with murder of foreign officials and two firearm-related charges. Rodriguez was taken into custody following the shooting outside of the Capitol Jewish

Museum, and he reported to have shouted, shouted free Palestine while he was being arrested. Now US Attorney General Pam Bondi said she's been in constant contact with President Trump since it happened and the death penalty for Rodriguez is a possibility. She made these comments yesterday, so just don't want you to get confused about her saying yesterday. She's speaking in reference to Wednesday. So let's take a listen to US Attorney General, Pam Bondi. I was on the phone with Donald Trump all evening long,

all evening. He called me first thing this morning. Yo, K-pop fans, it's your boy, Bom Han, and I'm bringing you something epic.

So listen to the K-Factor on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. This isn't just a podcast, Betrayal. Police Lieutenant Joel Kern used his badge to fool everyone. Most of all, his wife, Caroline. He texted, I've ruined our lives. You're going to want to divorce me. Caroline's husband was living another life behind the scenes. He betrayed his oath to his family and to his community.

She said you left bruises, pulled her hair, that type of thing. No. How far would Joel go to cover up what he'd done? You're unable to keep track of all your lies, and quite frankly, I question how many other women may bring forward allegations in the future. This season of Betrayal investigates one officer's decades of deception. Lies that left those closest to him

questioning everything they thought they knew. Listen to Betrayal on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Amy Robach and TJ Holmes here. Diddy's former protege, television personality, platinum-selling artist, Denity King alum Aubrey O'Day joins us to provide a unique perspective on the trial that has captivated the attention of the nation. Aubrey O'Day is sitting next to us here. You are as we sit here right up the street from where the trial is taking

place. Some people saw that you were going to be in New York and they immediately started jumping to conclusions. So can you clear that up? First of all, are you here to testify in the Ditty Trial? Aubrey will offer her opinions and expertise based on her first-hand knowledge. From her days on Making the Band as she emerged as the breakout star, the truth of the situation would be opposite of the glitz and glamour. It wasn't all bad, but I don't know that any of the good was real. I went through things there.

Listen to Amy and TJ Presents Aubrey O'Day covering the Diddy Trial on the iHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey y'all, it's your girl T.S. Madison coming to you live and in color from the Outlaws podcast. On this week's episode, we're talking to none other than Chaperone and Sasha Colby. And let me tell you, no topic is off limits, honey. We talk about the In this week's episode, we're talking to none other than Chaperone and Sasha Colby. And let me tell you, no topping is off limits, honey.

We talk about the lovers, the haters, and the creator. I worked at Scooter's Coffee drive-thru kiosk. And you are from the Midwest. Mm-hmm. And in the Midwest, they told you, well, just be humble. Like, you've heard this countless times. You too, right? Oh, yeah, it's very, like, big in Hawaii.

Mine was, I think, wrapped up in, like, Christian belt. Oh, yeah. We definitely had, like, some Jehovah's Witness guilt there. Yeah. Wait, were you Jehovah's Witness? Yeah. So you were Jehovah's Witness? I grew up that, yeah.

My family still does. Hey. Or no, bye. Ha ha ha! Listen, she may have been working the drive-through in 2020, but she's the name on everybody's lips now, honey. Listen to Outlaws with T.S. Madison on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts, honey.

He is horrified by what happened. Two beautiful young people were gunned down last night needlessly. You know, I saw his body being taken away from the scene. That was horrific. So meanwhile, senators, June, John Thune and Chuck Schumer are speaking out about the incident. Senator, Senate Majority Leader John Thune said he's disgusted while Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said people should be outraged about this incident.

Let's take a listen to their comments. From everything we know so far, it is appallingly clear that a van attendees were deliberately targeted. Such a blatant and targeted act of antisemitism right here in the nation's capital should outrage everybody. A beautiful young couple about to be married, just starting their lives, gunned down seemingly because they were Jewish.

Yeah, very, very sad situation. I'll keep you guys on that. Now, Senator Schumer also used his time on the floor to address the passage of President Trump's big, beautiful bill. And speaking of which, President Trump's big, beautiful bill did pass yesterday morning on a vote of 215 to 214 with all Democrats and two Republicans voting no. House Speaker Mike Johnson is offering some advice to his colleagues in the Senate who

will now take up the measure. After the vote, Johnson says he hopes the Senate will pass the bill so it can be on President Trump's desk by July 4th. Let's take a listen to House Speaker Mike Johnson. We look forward to the Senate's timely consideration of this once in a generation legislation. We stand ready to continue our work together to deliver on the one big beautiful bill as President Trump named it himself. We're going to send that to his desk. We're going to get there by Independence Day on July 4th, and we are going to celebrate

a new golden age in America. It, it's definitely going to be new. Giving is giving new. Alright, so senators have already promised to make some changes to that bill. If it does become law, it would institute reforms to Medicaid, including stricter work requirements and more frequent eligibility checks. It's estimated the U.S. will save at least $625 billion, but it also means 7.6 million Americans will lose health insurance over the next 10 years. It would also eliminate taxes on tips while putting billions towards fighting illegal immigration

and a nationwide defense system like the Golden Dome I mentioned earlier this week, among other things. I will continue to keep you guys posted as to what's happening. I believe that per this Memorial Day weekend, Congress is headed to a recess, so they'll be on recess all of next week and then they will return the following week. And speaking of Memorial Day, the weekend travel rush is already underway. Peak airport crowds are expected today with the FAA expecting record-breaking travel. Over 3.5 million people are expected to get to their destination by plane, an almost 2% increase from last year. And then of course there's also, they're also seeing people on the roads. AAA is forecasting 45 million Americans

will hit the road between today and Monday for the holiday weekend. So yeah, if you're headed out like you and V, just make sure you guys are safe, pack your patience, and treat others with some kindness and respect, because between real ID and administration and everything else that's going on, we could all use a little bit of vacation, a little bit of a break, but in order to get to that break,

we might have to stand in some lines and wait in some traffic, so just keep that in. Yeah, like you said, give yourself a little bit of a break, but you know in order to get to that break we might have to Stand in some lines and you know wait in some traffic So just like I said give people give yourself a little extra time and remember if somebody is a little late in a Russian And you got a little time let them through let them do you don't know what their day was what they've been through what happened They could have got a flat tire on the way to the airport Give people some grace today know this weekend. I should say all right And one more thing real quick if I can shout out the 82 second Airborne Infantry Division in celebration of their All American Week.

They reached out to me saying that they listened to us on Fayetteville, North Carolina on Foxy 99. So hashtag airborne all the way. And of course, I want to salute all of our military and our service leaders who have made the ultimate sacrifice. That is what Memorial Day is all about. So those who serve we salute you and thank you for your service. That's your front page news.

Call up right now 1-800-585-1051 and I'm going to let you all give out the biggest he-haw

this morning. And our guest is David Hogg. David Hogg is an American gun control activist. He's a survivor of the 2018 Parkland shooting and now he's a political strategist and And our guest is David Hogg. David Hogg is an American gun control activist. He's a survivor of the 2018 Parkland shooting. And now he's a political strategist and co-chair of the DNC. And he is doing some great things in regards to challenging ineffective leadership

in the Democratic Party. So we're gonna talk to him. All right, we'll get to that next. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning everybody. It's D-E-J., Envy, Jess, Hilarious,

Charlamagne, the guy, we are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building, American gun control activist and political strategist and co-chair of the DNC. Ladies and gentlemen, we have David Hogg. Good to see you, man. Good to see you, too. You know, I really appreciate a lot of the things

that you've been doing, because you are challenging the democratic establishment. And I just think we need more of that. Yeah, I certainly agree. I think the fact of the matter is right now, we have seen, last election, we lost voting share with nearly every single demographic out there.

And we also lost against Donald Trump, of all people, right? And if that's not a sign that we need to dramatically change, I don't know what is. So that's really what we're out here trying to do is help to elevate a new generation and also make sure that nobody feels like, you know, that they can just be in their position of power forever because ultimately this is democracy, last I checked, right? And it's about making sure that we have the best representation possible in every district. Do you feel like the Democratic establishment uses young activists as mascots more than partners?

Certainly at times it can happen. I mean, I know for a fact when I started running for this position, you know, there were people who were certainly resistant, who I ended up talking to a lot of the time. That was actually one of my favorite parts about running for this position because when you're running to be a vice chair, you have to call people and obviously earn their vote. And one of my favorite parts about it was talking to the people who at first did not want to vote for me at all. I mean, there was one person who I talked to who actually said in one of my first calls

that I made to ask for their support that I'd never talked to this person before this that said that I should not do this, I cannot win, and that there's absolutely no pathway to victory for me and that they would not vote for me That was the first call that I had very welcoming, right? But what I said to them was like I understand that you're not in a position where you feel like you're not gonna be able to support me But ultimately I care a lot about the constituency group that you represent So I want to keep talking to you because even if you don't vote for me I do care about what you care about and ultimately they ended up coming around and supporting me and being a huge what you care about. And ultimately they ended up coming around

and supporting me and being a huge supporter as well. And you were a survivor of the Parkland shooting. Was that what sparked the thought to get into politics? Yeah, I mean, before this I wanted to be a journalist because I wanted to scare the crap out of politicians that I thought were corrupt as hell and didn't do anything ultimately. But I realized after Parkland,

when my classmates and I mobilized for people that may not remember, we had one of the largest school shootings in American history happen at my high school in Parkland, when my classmates and I mobilized for people that may not remember, we had one of the largest school shootings in American history happened at my high school in Parkland. And my classmates and I were obviously devastated after that. But I would say just as much as that we were furious because we grew up hearing from our politicians, their thoughts and prayers over and over again after these shootings, but they weren't really doing anything. Right? I was, I think I was in middle school when Sandy Hook happened. I wasn't even alive when Columbine happened. That's how long this has been going on for. And we went out there and we didn't say go out and

vote for Democrats or Republicans necessarily. We said go out and vote for more religious leaders that represent you and your values. And what we saw was one of the largest youth voter turnouts in American history. We took back the House. And what we saw as well is after Parkland, we didn't go out there, even though there was a lot of the, the pollsters and consultants and pundits that brought the Democratic Party to the place that it is right now, who told us, no, you can't talk about taking on the NRA, the organization that stops these gun laws from changing a lot of the time. You can't talk about banning assault weapons because that's too unpopular because this

is Florida. It's a Republican state. Gun laws get weaker here. Because we did the opposite of what all those purported experts told us to do, we actually did change gun laws in Florida. Yeah, because you're not fixing the problem if you don't go after... Exactly. You have to address it. And because of that, we raised the age to buy a gun to 21, for context of the shooter at my high school. He couldn't buy a handgun from a federally licensed dealer because he wasn't 21 yet, but he could purchase an AR-15. And then we passed a red flag law that can disarm people that are risked themselves and others, that has been used over 19,000 times in the state of Florida to disarm people that, for example, threaten to shoot up a high school or harm their intimate partner, you know, and thousands of

lives have been saved from that. And what I learned from that experience is that it's actually summed up well by Dolores Reta, who I asked one time at a protest, what is the most important thing that you need to tell any young person or activist that wants to make change that they need to know? What she said to me is it doesn't matter whether or not the change is actually possible. It's whether or not you can make people believe that the change is possible more than anything. And that's what we did after Parkland. And I think what we're trying to do now is take that generation of young people who have been let down in so many ways by their political system, whether it's through gun violence inside of school or outside of school, whether it's the housing

crisis, the student debt crisis, or so much more, and show them that there's a new generation of people coming in that are people like Congressman Maxwell Frost. I don't know if you know this person, he's the youngest member of Congress. He started, he was working for March for Our Lives while I was in college, and he called me up and he said he wanted to run for Congress. And I said, that's awesome, but you know you're 24, right? You have to be 25 to get elected to Congress. And Maxwell, you know, he didn't come from some super fancy background, his parents aren't super wealthy or anything like that, he's just a normal person.

And when he was running, he had to Uber drive from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m. every night while running for Congress. And he was running against two former members of Congress, one of whom was a hedge fund manager while they were a member of Congress, not a conflict of interest at all. Right. And then the other one had committed tax fraud while they were in Congress. And Maxwell was written off by the establishment so much. They said, you know, he's a great person, but he can't win. He can't raise that kind of money. And we helped him raise, I helped him raise about $400,000 in his first two quarters. But the thing is, the most important thing that somebody needs to run for office is the will, the grit and the determination to get elected. But they also need a substantial amount of funding

in order to get elected. And far too many young people with that grit and determination struggle to get there. And that's why we do what we do at Leaders We Deserve because Maxwell ended up with that determination and that support, becoming the youngest member of Congress that helped to spearhead an effort to get the Biden administration to address gun violence in a more substantial matter. at the White House with Congressman Maxwell Frost, who I just, I literally hired from my freshman dorm room, introducing the president of the United States to create something called the Office of Gun Violence Prevention that helped to coordinate the federal government's response to gun violence, and they oversaw about a 25% reduction in gun homicides over the course of about three years from that work. And that's because of the pressure that Maxwell helped to put on. But imagine if we had 30 Maxwells in Congress. David, going back to the shooting, you were just 17 when that happened, right? I can only

imagine like what was, I know you said you guys were furious, but what is something from that day? What do you remember most about that day that sticks with you today? I think what I remember most was just the sense of anger that I had at what had happened But it was more righteous indignation kind of it like the injustice of what had happened Because I had spent the past four years in my speech and debate classes studying You know arguing about gun control for example and having to argue on both sides of it both for and against it You don't get to decide which side you're arguing on you have have to argue on both. And I was frustrated because I felt like I maybe myself and my classmates could have done something before this because of what we knew from that education

that we didn't that could have potentially prevented it. So that's a lot of what I think about. And of course, too, the fear that one has when my sister was just 14 years old that day and she lost four friends. That's really what I was thinking about was for the first time in my life, there wasn't anything that I could do to help my sister feel better other than to try to stop this from happening to other people. And that sense of helplessness is really what I hold on to. But I also remember the friendship and camaraderie that my classmates and I and the parents and teachers and other people that we worked with had in order to hold these politicians' feet

to the fire. Because if there's anything that I learned from that experience, when I originally went out and started talking about it, I wasn't doing it as an activist. I was doing it as a journalist because I wanted to talk about what happened that day. But I soon realized it wasn't going to be enough to do that because you can't just talk about what's wrong. You've got to make it better and say what needs to be done right. And journalists often can't do that. We're still kicking it with the co-chair of the DNC, David Hogg, Charlemagne.

Let me ask you a question, David. At what moment did you realize you were more of a threat than an asset to democratic leadership? I wouldn't say that I'm a, I would say that I'm still an asset because I would say that this much is true, right? If you're in democratic leadership, it's kind of like being the coach of a baseball team, right? Like, sure, could you go out against a group of fifth graders and hit a home run? Absolutely. But ultimately, if you can't get other people on base, right, because they can't even swing the bat, sometimes it's not a matter of what type of bat they're using. It's a matter of can they swing to actually get on base in the first place. And it's a matter of getting new players ultimately, it's not a matter of, oh, can we just do more and more training? And I think what we need to do more of in our own party is, yes, we have to fight back to defeat Republicans, but we also need to give people something true and authentic to vote for, where we're showing people how the reason you vote for us isn't just so that

we have a majority, it's so that we use our majority to help you. Because if we stuck with that politics of cowardice, we never would have passed the Affordable Care Act in the first place. We never would have passed so many of the most monumental pieces of legislation than now are helping hundreds of millions of Americans around the country. Of course, there are challenges with democratic leadership,

but what I would say is especially in the case of somebody like Hakeem Jeffries, let's get him the majority so we can see what he can actually do with that majority in the first place. He's not going to do anything. I can see here's the thing. And I treat it like anything else, right? Like, you know how they say money doesn't change you.

It just, it just multiplies whatever you already are. More power is not going to change these people. If you're a coward with no power, you're going to be a coward with power. We've seen plenty of Democrats who have power, who are still cowards. My king ain't going to do nothing different with power. We've seen plenty of Democrats who have power who are still cowards. My king ain't going to do nothing different with power. With more power? I think if we have the right people elected that are out there, they're going to be able,

ultimately, sometimes it's not a matter of what you want to do. When you have to get elected to those positions within the House, for example, if we get more people elected that are saying, no, this is not enough, we have to fight harder, that we're not just going to stick in our positions of power forever. And we're going to say to you, for example, that if we're going to vote for you, this is what

we want to see. Because obviously he has to be elected to be the majority speaker of the house. By having some of them, some more of those young people that are on the front lines of these issues of addressing that I know in those internal deliberations that it's not so much a matter of what he wants to do. It's more a matter of if he wants to get elected, he's going to have to be able to fight harder. And I know that those young people will push him to do that. And if they feel like he's not going to, then they won't vote for him. Have you ever been directly warned by anyone in the Democratic Party to stay in your lane? There certainly are real challenges to the work that we are doing,

but I'm not going to let that stop me. You know, I wouldn't say necessarily that it's like somebody is directly coming to me and saying, if you don't stop this, this is going to happen to you or something like that. Yeah. But they that's not how a lot of these things work inside of DC. A lot of the time, it's not necessarily an overt threat. It is essentially a tacit threat that we hear a lot of the time, knowing that if X thing happens, then Y could happen to you. Why not call it out, though?

Like, like, why not? Because ultimately it is what I care more about knowing that if X thing happens, then Y could happen to you. Why not call it out though? Because ultimately it is, what I care more about is when there are people that go against me, whether it was for example in the vice chair race, I know the power from my own work in gun violence prevention of being a bigger person working towards victory. And ultimately when you do that, a lot of those people start to come around because a lot of the time in DC We have a lot of windsocks that go just whichever way the wind is blowing Right whichever side that they think is gonna win and I believe in a politics of being able to reconcile those differences

And work together despite what people say because what's even more powerful Charlemagne Is that when when somebody comes out and tries to go overtly against you, right? And they know that they did that to you But they see that you did that to you, but they see that you start to win and that's ultimately what they care most about. Then if you don't go out there and start calling them out publicly, one, it's not nearly as divisive and two, it shows that you're trying to be a real leader and ultimately they oftentimes feel guilty about it and they want to try to make up for it by working to help you because

they want to be on the side of winning. And ultimately that's what we're trying to do here, if that makes sense. How do you respond to people that say that your work is too political? Yeah, like you're doing this for selfish reasons and not because you actually care about the whole party. It's to advance your political career. No, no, no. So what I'll say is when I was 18, I said that I wanted to run for Congress because I thought that would be the best way to make change. But I realized when I was working with people like Maxwell and other young people around the country, how hard it is to raise money and get the resources to get elected. Because of course, courage

is that resource that we lack the most. But those courageous people, they need cash in order to get elected. And I could be one person myself to go out there And maybe I get elected to Congress But ultimately what is more what is going to be more beneficial for the future right one? I often do get physically threatened not necessarily by Democrats necessarily by any means But by a lot of people who don't agree with the things that I say about Strengthening gun laws my family and I we got probably over a thousand death threats after the shooting, I would say between online and directly in the mail. My house got swatted as well. And what I frankly have to think about is that

I can't just be one person doing this, right? And there's a whole movement of people out there that are doing this, a whole movement of young people that have gone through these school shootings. And what I want to help do is I don't want to just be one vote that's out there. I want to help bring in a generation that is truly representative of our generation and not just what somebody who's able to raise as much money as possible to get elected looks like. And that's what we're trying to do with this is look at all the candidates that we supported last cycle where we helped elect the youngest person in the Georgia legislature ever.

Who's a seventh grade algebra teacher. Look at the person who we elected, Dante Pittman in North Carolina, who helped to break the Republican super majority out there. Look at people like Naderius Clark in Virginia, who broke the Republican majority in the house and helped pass all this stuff. So the reason why I'm doing this,

is because I don't wanna just walk through that door myself and close it behind me. I don't wanna just keep the door open. I wanna take the door off the damn hinges and enable it so that future young people don't need to have the door held open for them in the first place. What they need to do that, though, is they need the funding to get elected and make sure that they have the right values so that they're able to reform our campaign finance system. Because what I look at this as ultimately is an insurance policy for the gun safety movement, where President Biden's generation, they didn't go through school shooter drills, but they went through a different type of drill. They went through nuclear bomb drills and they went on to pass some of the largest arms

reduction treaties in human history to limit those nuclear weapons. And I think that's in part because they felt the anxiety of what it was like to be told by your government, just hide under your desk to survive a nuclear bomb and the epic failure of leadership that that is. And I believe for the difference from our generation is that the bomb is going off multiple times a year. Absolutely. So let's get them elected so that they can lead like Congressman Frost boldly on this instead of me just being one vote because it's about our generation and the story of are we going to continue having conversations like this in the future where school shootings

remain in the headlines and gun violence remains in the headlines and So many issues that we should not have to deal with in the richest country in human history Remain in the headlines or we can leave them where they belong in the history books We still have David Hogg in the building co-chair of the DNC Charlemagne Give me some other names because you know, you keep mentioning Maxwell Frost Who do you think is the voice of the Democratic Party? Who do you think should be the voice of the Democratic Party or is there multiple voices? Well I think one there's going to be multiple voices right um I think one of the

great things about our party that also creates some challenges is look we are not a cult we can have I can't tell in recent years well sometimes I understand what you're saying certainly given some of the responses that I've gotten to this but ultimately we are not a party with somebody like Donald Trump at the top that says, you have to believe every single thing right here or else you were excommunicated and we're going to try to destroy your life necessarily. It's not nearly- I don't know if that's true, David. I've looked at the way people would really get upset with you if you had anything negative to say about President Biden when he was the one that we should have been speaking out about the most. Right. And I completely agree with you, actually. I think one of the challenges

in that regard that we have to address in our politics is that we have created a culture where people are told repeatedly what they want to hear instead of what they need to hear. Right. What I believe happened in that regard is, is like when you're in the White House, and I've seen this in different ways, either in the White House or in other places, you want to keep your job. And the best way to do that is ensure that you get this person reelected again. And I think what happens far too often in our politics is that people get too comfortable and they just tell people what they want to hear instead of what they need to hear over and over and over and over again. And frankly, part of why I'm doing this is because I met with President Biden in

2023 for an hour in the Oval Office. And one of the things that that happened to you. Well, it was a good meeting and it was it was after he created the Office of Gun Violence Prevention at the White House that saw about a 25 percent reduction in gun homicides around the country. Part of the challenge is, though, you're not going to hear about the shooting that doesn't happen. But I was meeting with him in that regard. Did you see the decline in him then?

So that was one of the challenges is I didn't see it personally. What I wish I had told him, though, because he asked me how do I win back younger voters, what I wish I had told him, which of course I would have been laughed out of the room if I said this, was that he shouldn't run for office again. But that was the thing that should have been said. I know, but that's what needed to be said. I was saying that and everybody was so mad at me. But that's part of the problem is we need to have a more open conversation about these things because we also created an environment where people felt like they were excommunicated if they dared to say anything about it.

And to some extent, I understand people were afraid about potentially re-electing Donald Trump, but ultimately look at where we ended up. That's right. We need to build a culture inside of our party where we are telling people what they need to hear and not just what they want to hear. That's what I did when I ran for vice chair. When I ran for this position, I said, you know what I'm not going to do? I'm not going to be a politician. I'm not going to contort myself into some pretzel of whatever you want to see if some b******t mirage of, you know, when they asked me should Joe Biden have dropped out, I said, yes, he should have, obviously. And then when they asked me why we lost the election, I said, why did we lose the election? Voters told us two things.

They said prices are too high and Joe Biden is too old. And we said to them with the power of $2 billion behind us, no, he's not. Yes he is. And then we said, no, they aren't. Look at the stock market. Like, and majority of people don't have stocks. Exactly. And if you tell people not to believe their eyeballs

or their wallets, you're gonna lose them. And I think what we need to build in the party is a culture of addressing the realities that people are actually going through and what they're actually feeling. Not just what a chart is telling us that they should be feeling, but actually listening to them.

Okay, I'm just going to throw some names at you, because these people to me represent what the next generation of Democrats could look like. I just want to know what your thoughts of them are. Governor Westmore of Maryland. I think Governor Westmore has done a pretty amazing job. He actually has a really cool program that I don't think has been talked about very much where he works. I think it's called like the Mid-Career Program, where they take in a class of several hundred young people and put them into different

jobs around the state of Maryland. And it really helps get them started in their lives and their careers and like help turn things around. And there have even been people that have gone into this program that that I've heard about that started out literally homeless that now have gone on to get jobs and do things like that. So that's great. I love Governor Westmore. jobs and do things like that. So that's great. I love Governor Westmore. I will say this much. I can't talk at all about any potential presidential nominees. I'm not saying that he is or is not running, but I can't give any opinion specifically on that. Pete Buttigieg. Pete Buttigieg clearly was a very good Secretary of Transportation given the situation that we're in right now. And I think with Pete, he represents

a level of sanity that I think people are craving right now. They're tired of the chaos that I think Donald Trump represents a lot of the time. Pete, I don't think people want to have a president that they have to hear about doing something ridiculous in the headlines every single day. That is frankly an embarrassment to our country and internationally as well. So I think Pete could be great. What I really like about him is that, and I'm just talking about like future leaders, I'm not talking about anything about presidential or anything like that to be extremely clear. That's what I'm saying, just the next generation of what a Democrat looks like. What I really like about him is I think he does an excellent job of talking to

people who don't agree with him. Yes, I agree. That is what we need more of. That's what I think Pete is really good at representing is helping to kind of bring people together and talk to the people that don't agree and explain without compromising his values what we believe as Democrats. I think that's really powerful. A few more names. Governor Josh Shapiro.

You know, I think with Josh Shapiro, he has a huge amount of favorability for a reason in Pennsylvania, ultimately. And you know, I think it's interesting as a swing state, they has a huge amount of favorability for a reason in Pennsylvania ultimately. And you know, I think it's interesting as a swing state, they have a pretty close state legislature as well. And there's there's been some great work that they've done on gun violence as well. Jasmine Crockett. Jasmine Crockett. I love her.

She is amazing. Yeah. I think that people want to see somebody who fights and calls out ultimately, I think that's what Jasmine does. And we need a hell of a lot more people that are out there that are willing to do just that and call people out on their PS and not say, oh my god, Republicans are going to criticize me for saying this. Screw that. They're going to criticize you no matter what. So what we should be asking ourselves is what are we really fighting for?

Because we know it matters and I think Jasmine is frankly the type of leader that we're really looking to support in some senses, right? Somebody who is out there that frankly doesn't give a damn what the other side, other side, at least the elected Republicans in Congress say, that say what they believe in. And at least you know, even if you don't agree with her, you know what she stands for. Yeah. Because she makes it very clear. Governor Gretchen Whitmer. Part of what was really great with Gretchen Whitmer and her focus was on infrastructure,

right? People, I think Democrats need to do a lot more of finding the issues that nobody likes and addressing them in a substantial manner. So part of her campaign was addressing potholes, right? Really basic, just saying fix the damn roads. We need more of that. AOC. I mean, AOC has been a huge inspiration to me.

What I really like about her is more than anything that you clearly know that she believes what she's saying. Absolutely. And she knows how to communicate on social media because she grew up with it, she's young. And also she doesn't, you know, she's not out there taking money from special interests. You know, regardless of whether or not you agree with AOC,

at least you can say that she's not owned by anyone. My last name, these are people who I believe are the future and now in the future the Democratic Party, John Stewart. John Stewart. John Stewart. So what I love about John is I think he, he and Donald Trump actually have the same greatest strength. And this is going to sound controversial. It's that they're funny. But I think with John Stewart, what I like about him is the same thing that I like this is gonna sound controversial, it's that they're funny. But I think with Jon Stewart, what I like about him is the same thing that I like about AOC. He's funny, he says what he believes in,

and he gets done. And I know that because I saw when they were working on the PACT Act. That's right. That summer, they were, Democrats were working on passing the largest expansion to veterans healthcare. One of those people that I met, you know, had worked for the federal government and

now he is facing a very real chance that his retirement is going to be cut by several hundred thousand dollars because of this bill that Republicans are pushing through right now. And I will never forget when John Stewart showed up to support those veterans and help get that bill passed and it did get passed is one of the largest expansions ever. Yeah, it's my hope and I know you can't say this. I want him to be president of the United States of America. I really do. I think that he is such a fantastic messenger and he actually knows politics and he cares about people.

And for the way the country is now and where the country is going as far as messaging, you need somebody like him front and and center. That's my talk. David Hogg, thank you brother. I like the work that you're doing man. Keep fighting the good fight. Thank you. That's right. If they can support you in any way, what should they do? People can just check out our website at leaderswedeserve.com and you can also see on there too as we create more endorsements, who's out there as well. Absolutely. David Hogg is the Breakfast Club.

Diddy's former protege, television personality, platinum selling artist, Danity King alum Aubrey O'Day joins us to provide a unique perspective on the trial that has captivated the attention of the nation. Aubrey O'Day is sitting next to us here. You are, as we sit here, right up the street from where the trial is taking place. Some people saw that you were going to be in New York and they immediately started jumping to conclusions. So can you clear that up? First of all, are you here to testify in the Ditty Trial? Aubrey will offer her opinions and expertise based on her firsthand knowledge

from her days on Making the Band as she emerged as the breakout star. The truth of the situation would be opposite of the glitz and glamor. It wasn't all bad, but I don't know that any of the good was real. I went through things there. Listen to Amy and TJ Presents, Aubrey O'Day,

covering the Diddy Trial on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Andrea Gunning, host of the podcast, Betrayal. Police Lieutenant Joel Kern used his badge to fool everyone. Most of all, his wife, Caroline. He texted, I've ruined our lives. You're going to want to divorce me. Caroline's husband was living another life

behind the scenes. He betrayed his oath to his family and to his community. She said you left bruises, pulled her hair, that type of thing. No. How far would Joel go to cover up what he'd done? You're unable to keep track of all your lies and quite frankly, I question how many other women may bring forward allegations in the future.

This season of Betrayal investigates one officer's decades of deception. Lies that left those closest to him questioning everything they thought they knew. Listen to Betrayal on the iHeart radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey y'all, it's your girl, T.S. Madison, coming to you live and in color from the Outlaws podcast. On this week's episode, we're talking to none other than Chaperone and Sasha Colby. And let me tell you, no topping is off limits, honey.

We talk about the lovers, the haters, and the creator. I worked at Scooter's Coffee drive-thru kiosk. And you are from the Midwest. And in the Midwest, they told you, just be humble. Like, you've heard this countless times. You too, right? Oh, yeah, it's very, like, big in Hawaii. Mine was, I think, wrapped up in, like, Christian guilt. Oh, yeah. We definitely had, yeah, it's very like big in Hawaii. Mine was I think wrapped up in like Christian Hill.

Oh yeah, we definitely have like some Jehovah's Witness guilt there, yeah. Wait, were you Jehovah's Witness? Yeah. So you were Jehovah's Witness? I grew up that, yeah, my family still has hair. Oh no, bye. Listen, she may have been working the drive-through

in 2020, but she's the name on everybody's lips now honey. Listen to Outlaws with T.S. Madison on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts honey. I met Cassie in December 2011 and he claimed that he didn't even know that they were still involved when he was dating her. But then one day he got a phone call from Cassie like, yo, he found out about us. He said, what? Who is he?

So he turned out to be Diddy. So know right the Diddler so that apparently all hell broke loose right Diddy alleged that uh Kid Cudi he got Kid Cudi's address from Cassie what and ABC News broke it down but before we get to the breakdown and everything keep in mind Kid Cudi's name is Scott Meskody that's what y'all gonna hear in this report. Kid Cudi had dated Cassie Venturaety. That's what y'all gonna hear in this report. testifying that he had a tense phone call with combs where combs insinuates he was at meskety's home i Said expletive you in my house and he was like what's up? I was like expletive are you in my house and he said i just want to talk to you I was like i'm on my way over right now he was like i'm here when he arrived

He said christmas presents he had bought for members of his family were unwrapped, torn open and his dog was locked in the bathroom. What? Damn. The interesting thing is they're saying, you know, did he broke into the house but it was no signs of forced entry so it's like, yo, you just be having your door open or whatever. I don't know but it was no signs of... Going in somebody's house and unwrapping Christmas presents and locking their dog in the bathroom

is a different level of diabolical. Yes, it is. He's like a big-ass kid. Like, yo, I gotta re-wrap all this. He didn't take anything. He's like, this is trash. Trash ass presents. I've been at all of this. Now, he said it was Chanel bags when I watched yesterday. Diddy don't want nothing to think about that. He's like, these trash ass presents. I've been at all of this. But you know what, Cudi said he was really mad because he said Diddy did something to his dog. He said, what did did he do to the dog he just locked him in the bathroom or just locked him in that was

it yeah they also got that nasty now I know you was going but god damn they would have said that he would have said that's a different crime that's a whole nother charge oh they'd have threw him under the jail what what listen they'd have threw Diddy under the jail if they find out Diddy was out here diddling dogs. I'm telling you right now, forget all the women. I promise you, white America ain't gonna let you diddle no dogs. A dog diddle is crazy. I wasn't talking about diddling dogs.

Go ahead, Faye. So they also covered the alleged car explosion. ABC News recapped that too. Meskite describing an alleged 2012 incident where his Porsche 911 convertible had been set on fire. It looks like the top of my Porsche was cut open and that's where they inserted the Molotov cocktail. Meskite testified. Arson is part of the racketeering conspiracy count combs faces.

Cassie Ventura previously testify that combs threatened to have kid Cuddy's car blown up. Kid Cuddy's car fire has been talked about for years but it's significant now because federal prosecutors are trying to convince the jury that Sean Combs used arson as part of a criminal enterprise. That's one of the predicate acts of the racketeering conspiracy charge. Combs denies it. Now how did they know that it was Diddy with Was Amalatav cocktail in a Sirocke bottle? Ha! Funny. They didn't get there. But look, I just want to say, not that I'm justifying, you know, that it's not a car explosion, but when you hear car explosion, you think the car BOOM! Like what Angela Bassett did on the way to the toy store. But Amalatav cocktail is not really like, it's not like a bomb like a bomb bomb like it's

Even though you can call that a harson well if the fire gets to certain parts of the car it would have exploded But they you can see that they put it out before him. Yeah, yeah, the car did not explode though It's the Larsen though, but it's the intent definitely still yeah You know the rumors that we've been hearing over the years. I'm like alright. Yo, he really blew up this guy calm I'm thinking about the whole I'm thinking Whole time. All right, so then oh and I just do want to clarify I said that did he said that he got the address from Cassie know kid Cuddy testified and said that Cassie gave Diddy the Address. All right, cool. So after that happened, right?

They met up to have a man-to-man conversation at SoHo, and this was the conversation. Shortly after that alleged incident, Meskiti says he and Combs met at the SoHo house in Los Angeles. He said he remembered walking into a room with all sorts of glass windows and Sean Combs staring out the window, his hands behind his back, looking like what Kid Cudi called a Marvel super villain. But he said

Combs' demeanor was very calm. Meskiti said he told Combs that Cassie told him she and Combs were broken up. When the meeting ended he says we stood up shook hands and as I was shaking his hand I said what are we gonna do about my car? He looked right back at me very cold stare and said I don't know what you're talking about. And remember Cassie Ventura had sent her mom an email just before Christmas right back at me, very cold stare, and said, I don't know what you're talking about. And remember, Cassie Ventura had sent her mom an email just before Christmas in 2011,

saying that Combs had threatened to harm both her and Scott Miscutty. Well, I'll tell you what, man, I can't believe that y'all are calling Kid Cudi a snitch. Like, Kid Cudi is not a street dude. He's a law-abiding, taxpaying citizen. I've seen him in a wedding dress before. He wears mascara.

Like man on the moon will absolutely turn to man on the stand and there's nothing wrong with that. The funniest thing about it is, I don't know if you've seen the part where he was like, when I heard that, I said, Diddy, let's meet up and fight. And then he said he thought about it and was like, nah, I don't wanna fight, I'm calling 911. And then he called 911 to say, somebody just blew up and fight. And then he said he thought about it and was like, nah, I don't want to fight. I'm calling 911.

And then he called 911 and said, somebody just blew up my car. Yeah, you're right. He's a civilian. He's a civilian. So then after all that, K. Cuddy claims that he realized that he got played by the both of them. And Lauren was in court yesterday and she said K. Cuddy had a calm demeanor the whole entire time.

And then yesterday after court, K. Cuddy shared a verse about the whole experience of him testifying. I just want to say, man, I've been seeing all the love and support and I just want to say thank you so much, man. People been hitting me up the past week just checking in and and even today, um, and I just it really means a lot to me, man. You guys are the best. I love y'all. This is a stressful situation. I'm glad it's behind me. Yeah, I love y'all this is a special situation I'm glad it's behind me yeah I love y'all man the only thing he could cut he did wrong was not tell when it first happened I'm shocked that he didn't tell when it first happened

but he did he did call the police remember he did call the police he just doesn't know they still don't know if it was did he but he called the police as soon as it happened you know the Molotov cocktail been there so you know what it was diddy, but he called the police as soon as it happened. Oh, okay. You know the Molotov cocktail that's been there. You know what else I was thinking? Okay. What? What's up? No, I'm just saying Meek Mill again, Breakfast Club, then got to this man.

We are always up here doing something. Don't say we. Well, you was off yesterday, so me, Charlamagne, and Lauren. He didn't say Charlamagne, man. He ain't no me. Man, look, play this audio, man. This is us. This is why Meek Mill.

Nobody was talking about Meek in this situation. Did anybody talk about Meek in court? No. No, not yet. Nobody talking about you, Meek. Why? But to Meek's defense, in the beginning, when them lawsuits dropped and they was mentioning the rapper and all that, people was like, Meek, Meek, Meek.

That was like a year ago. That was like a year ago. Yeah. That feels like years ago. Nobody cares. Nobody's thinking about you, Meek. Hold up. Wait a minute. Y'all thought I was finished? He was like, and we did not dress alike, y'all. We wasn't twinning.

I got my outfit first. You know what it is, when you are at home, on your phone, and your timeline is constantly filled with pictures of you and Diddy dressed alike, and people saying things about you and Diddy, you think the whole world is talking about it. That's your small bubble, Meek. That's not like I'm giving sound advice.

Yeah, it was, but he didn't like that, right? Because he commented to us, y'all mad because I speak up for myself. Y'all forgetting y'all two women are new reporters. I've been saving communities and helping families 10 plus years. We don't follow the word of talkers. Just shit nappy head, ass.

Damn! I ain't even saying nothing. Wow. Why would you even? No, what's funny is you ain't saying, my head ain't nappy. You said I ain't nappy. He got me on that.

He got me on that. Me and me got the same bush. Damn him! You know what I'm saying? Yes, same Frederick Douglass that he had rapping outside the other night. But I do understand, like you said, when you constantly see yo,

meek, meek, meek, meek, meek this and meek that and yo, he this and he that, and he got a 14 year old son he said he will never let fake rumors about his name or manhood linger and be silent but his son had to see all of this ish play out and deal with it in school so you know we just gonna send prayers to you and your son and um stay offline bro. Yeah Meek has the right to speak out if he wants to I just be wondering why but you know what I was thinking I was thinking about this last night in regards to the whole Diddy, Cassie thing, listening to the Kid Cudi testimony. When you're Diddy, why would you crash out over a person you just smutting out?

Like you got other men smashing them, you letting them get passed around, but on the flip side you mad she's sleeping with other men. Yeah, but that was the thing allegedly he could only have her. So he mad that she didn't let him watch her and Cudi? Yeah like I think Maddie wasn't the punisher. He would have to be supervised like he would have to be the one supervising these sexual freak-offs if she's doing it like she can't go out and have somebody by herself. Did he got to be supervised? I just don't understand why you would be crashing out over somebody you just you're literally just treating like a Hope yep, like that's not your wife. That's not the mother of your kids

You're not treating that woman with no dignity no respect, but yet you out here allegedly crashing out Committing real crimes allegedly because of her I don't understand it I also think it was who it was is the fact that these other gentlemen were in the industry remember he allegedly got mad and That she was he thought she was dating Chris Brown and you know Kid Cudi and then they said something about Michael B. Jordan. So he was mad at the industry, you know? Okay.

Zaiisha, you know the craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida. So who you wanna get the biggest Hee Haw to, Zai? It's two of them, Pat and Remy, both of them.

I'm mad at them. Why is they doing this? Putting their business online like this. Going back and forth with each other. Remy is kind of blowing her own spot up I'm from the Bronx I'm always team woman but Remy already said before he even said he was writing her rhymes that he was gonna say that so he already said be left the spot Pat you going back and forth about Clarissa cuz you in live now they just doing the most.

It's just a show, it's seeming like they trying to compete with Artie and what was his name? Offset. Offset. Yeah, it just seemed like a competition. It's just too much, it seemed like a show. I wish that Pat would, that's it. He said what he had to say now, fall back, because then that would prove his point.

Let me ask you a question. Should we blame the Bronx for this? Because, you know, the crazy people in America do come from the Bronx and all the folks. Do we blame the Bronx? Does the Bronx get any blame? Damn. Does the Bronx get any blame? I wouldn't say the Bronx.

I would just say emotions as women, all women from all over get stupid like that. We're Cardi from the Bronx too. Oh my God. Oh my God. No. Okay. We're gonna go back to another point.

the biggest he-hall to, Justin? To UPS, my job. Oh, okay. talk to me. Yeah, they um, they fired a guy for being racist and sexist, but they have a slogan like a banister that says not in our house, and it says that stuff in the banister, but then they hired him back. So I just think that's just the biggest donkey in my opinion. Oh, okay, but UPS is a great job. All right, is there going to be any backlash to you for getting on the radio and calling the donkey of the day? The guy got his job back. It shouldn't be. It shouldn't even be.

Yeah, I mean. Yeah, exactly. What's up, Jess? What's up, baby? Salute to all of you. Hey, you all remember me, but I actually grew up with your first cousin, Sabri Black.

But I would hope that if you actually care about your child and you wanna be in your child and you want to be in your child's life and get custody and have the proper visitation and make sure your child's report is what it needs to be, you would take your ass to court. Exactly, but a lot of times these women can be playing games and these men be allowing these women to dictate what's going on because they're scared of the courtroom. But go to court, man.

they are hanging up on me behind the scenes. Soon as I say my name, Sean. You know what I mean? Last week I called, I congratulated Taylor on her baby. She told me, hold on. Two minutes later the phone just hung up. Sean, you know you're probably the number two person that calls up there the most, so I don't know what you're talking about. Hold on.

You're on this radio right behind somebody else. Yo, I respect the radio. I always respect you guys, you know what I mean? But I don't get the same respect. If you have anything I'mma try to promote, anything telling me, always quick to cut me down. Chat! Chat!

Or you can go to the iHeartRadio app if you're listening to The Breakfast Club. Yeah, you can go to the iHeartRadio app, hit the talk back button and talk to us even when we're off air. There you go. So do that and you can hear yourself on Donkey today on Fridays.

Now when we come back, Lenei Beni will be here. Lenei Boni, she's starting on Instagram with a series called Parking Lot Pimpin' where she gives just a lot of commentary on social issues and political issues that are happening in our society. That has led to her having her own show on Revolt called The People's Brief, and she'll be here to talk about it when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy, we are the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building, Lenei Vanee. What's happening Lenei? Hey, how are you? How are you? I'm good.

You know, I'm sure that y'all see Lenei all the time, her parking lot pimping episodes have come across your feed in some way, shape or form. But now you got a show called The People's Brief. Yeah. On Revolt Tuesdays at 9pm. What's the difference between The People's Brief and parking lot pivot? One thing we got more time is 45 minutes. It's also not so you know every week news headline. It's more so evergreen things that are happening in the news but things that we can talk about over

the course of time because they affect us every day. And just giving people more tools I feel like on social media I've always tried to be more information heavy and just provide a positive outlook. But now that we got more time, we want to try to provide resources to and answers to questions and not just complaint. How different is it from park and lap pimping? I won't say it's too different. I still get to say what I want to say.

We what? TV 14, so's cussing but the team over there want to do what I want to do and that's like give everybody the truth and be helpful. We kind of take the same oh doctors do no harm in as much as we can. Yeah the tone is the same but it's really cool because it's not it's newsy but it's not not I never taken a traditional approach to things so it's like a mix of 60 minutes and John tonight with John Oliver the Daily Show a little bit of Amber Ruffin, but with me Yeah, it was well rounded. It's very well rounded. We have a lot of fun

The first couple episodes the first episode this week Tuesday and I had Angela right on as my first guest. That was amazing Yeah, we get to get out in the field do some man on the street day and I had Angela Rye on as my first out too? Oh hell yeah, not too. Okay, if you've seen them, then you get the concept. I have my friends say like who's at our leaderboard and everybody said my top three are anger, disgust and joy because of the way that I see things. I just I'm real big on character above anything and the way you like contribute to society above anything. So more often than not, I'm disgusted and more often than not that makes me exhausted and know, a lot of things make me angry, but I also think anger is a valid emotion. And it doesn't always have to present in a way that is heavy. It's just what it is. Like I'm a black woman in America. A lot of things make me upset. And I should be able to say that without being

made to feel like I have to cover up my emotions in any particular way. But I think the method of storytelling we use combines all those things in a beautiful way that also shows that we're more than our anger, we're more than our joy, we're more than our exhaustion, we're more than our disgust, and we can be all things at one time and still be full functioning members of society. Absolutely. How did you end up at Revolt? How did that happen?

You know, good people, speaking my name in good rooms. I've been very blessed to have a good team no matter what I'm working on and they've been fighting for me in different rooms. I've been pitching different versions of shows whether it's scripted or unscripted for the past five years and nothing's just been the right fit but as I said I'd be in tune with the Lord and he told me at the end of the last year to stop trying to force things and to just put stuff down and let him work and so as I said okay wasn't even expecting it two weeks later I got a trying to force things and to just put I don't feel like my words aren't enough. I feel like I do what I'm supposed to do and I'm okay with that. My contribution, as long as I do my best, I'm okay with that, whatever the result is,

because whatever I was supposed to contribute is all I was supposed to contribute because it's not just up to me, it's not just up to anybody. We all have a piece to the puzzle to create the fuller picture and sometimes it may feel like it didn't hit the way it was supposed to hit but you got to give things time. The seeds you sow always have their time for harvest and I've just learned to be content and patient with my contribution. So sometimes you feel like it's like a call to action almost? Like you might activate the person who might go out there and actually get active? Yeah that's absolutely what I feel like my lane is. I feel like my job is to impart information,

to bring as many people to the table as possible, to make them invested, to make them excited. And those are the people that go out and do something with it. Even when I left my master's program, my professors told me I was only going to be able to make money or make a life for myself if I continue to get my PhD. And that's not what I felt called to do. I immediately wanted to go and share with very young people all the things that I learned in my program that I had to pay $25,000 and take out loans to get with all these real stuffy people that may not have the best methods as far as connecting with the general public. But I was like, if I can impart this in high school students, they can apply to college, they can go on career paths that with the knowledge, with a fuller knowledge of their capacity and ability and vocabulary and nuance to be change agents.

So that's all I've ever wanted to do. And that's what I'm doing. And I'm grateful for that. And as a Spelman grad, congratulations. I love that. What part of that HBCU experience has shaped your voice? Well, at Spelman, we got a saying, it's my choice and I choose to change the world. And it's funny, I've said this, I've told this story so many times, but when I was first

applying, I had teachers at my high school telling me they didn't think I should go. They didn't think that I would get in because it was too expensive, that it wasn't the real world. But we shouldn't be encouraging our kids and mass to go to school to learn how to plug into the way things already exist. Like we need to be disruptors, we need to be change agents. And that's what my HBC you did for me. I was a psychology student, but every single class you take, whether it's the biology of women, whether it's math, finite math or whatever computer science, you take it through the lens of black feminism. And so we have

a vantage point that allows us to see everybody's pain. And it just makes us, that's why we be the best applicants for the job most of the time, most suited for the job most of the time because we see people. And so my HBC experience really allowed me to see what people need in order to feel seen and I try to put that in my storytelling as well. How do you navigate being both a political educator but also a cultural influencer in an algorithm driven world? Well politics was never my game. It was never my choice. You couldn't touch me with politics with a 10-foot pole. It just became necessary. So, like I said, I've always been driven by what's necessary. And I started this work to really be steeped in pop culture and connect

that to history through an interdisciplinary lens. But as I began, I started in 2020. So, politics was just like thrust upon us in a real way. And so I challenged myself to say like, okay, I know that we need to understand this. So how can I incorporate this into what I do? And it just became even more and more and more necessary. So I just think, because I speak to people, like we cousins, like we family, because I don't try to hit people over the head with it. And because I like I let myself feel all the things like a regular person feels, hit people over the head with it. And because I let myself feel all the things like a regular person feels,

the algorithm can't beat the content that I'm putting out. Yeah, like I draw people regardless and people sharing it in their family group chats, grandmas and aunties and kids in seventh grade and high school students all talking about what was on the parking lot this week. And I'm really grateful for that because it's not about me and my parking lot,

it's really about the information being shared so I'm grateful for the anointing that's been put on me that's allowed no matter what's changed in the social media landscape people to come to the parking lot every Friday. We're still kicking it with Lenei Venie she has a show on Revolt. Charlamagne what's one political issue you think just we've become too performative about and not solution oriented enough about? I think it's sustaining period, sustainability period in terms of how we organize, in terms of how we fight back against political oppression because we often wait the four year cycle

to begin to complain about what we don't like about candidates and then are upset when we're not able to show up in full force and vote together and that make a difference. I don't think that we give ourselves the opportunity for our work to actually for our work to return to us in a good way because unfortunately a lot of times we are motivated by rage and sadness and we want to get active when things hit close to home but something is always hitting close to home for everybody and if we don't learn to act as a community and have this sort of sustain, Garrison Hayes said in a segment in my episode this past Tuesday, he said, these people don't let up. They've been strategizing, they don't stop strategizing.

So why should we? And especially if we're already playing catch up, like it's never a day when we should just be like, oh, the struggle will be here tomorrow. But that means you should also be strategizing for tomorrow. And it's not to say that your life has to be completely shaped by that. Because I say often, like I don't, my friends think I'm single now and they're like, so what you want like a Mark Lamont Hill? No, like no shade to Mark. He's great. But I don't need that to encompass my entire life. Like I'm still a human being. So I'm not saying that you got to live, breathe, die, fight the power, but you do have to have

some things ingrained in the way that you move about your day period to understand that the work never stops. So we just gotta find that balance. And for you I want somebody who knows that women can have babies. Oh okay. Only women can have babies. I just want to let you know that. Interesting. There are other people who can have babies. Oh, only women can have babies. I just want to let you know that. Interesting. There are other people who can have babies. Okay. Yeah, I mean if they have a uterus they can have babies.

But they just might not identify as women. Okay. Those are two different things, like you can be biologically female, but you can't be biologically woman. It's woman is a... Yo, K-Pop fans, it's your boy, BOMHAN, and I'm bringing you something epic. Introducing the K-Factor, the podcast that takes you straight into the heart of K-Pop. We're talking music reviews, exclusive interviews, and deep dives into the industry like never before. From producers and choreographers to idols and trainees,

we're bringing you the real stories behind the music that you love. And yeah, we're keeping it a hundred, discussing everything from comebacks and concepts to the mental health side of the business. Because K-pop isn't just a genre, it's a whole world and we're exploring every corner of it. And here's the best part, fans get to call in, drop opinions, and even join us live at

events. You never know where we might pop up next. So listen to the K Factor on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. This isn't just a podcast. It's a movement. Are you ready? Let's go. Amy Robach and TJ Holmes here. Diddy's former protege, television personality, platinum-selling artist, Danity King alum Aubrey O'Day joins us to provide a unique perspective on the trial that has captivated the attention of the nation.

Aubrey O'Day is sitting next to us here. You are, as we sit here, right up the street from where the trial is taking place. Some people saw that you were going to be in New York and they immediately started jumping to conclusions. So can you clear that up? First of all, are you here to testify in the Diddy Trap? Aubrey will offer her opinions and expertise

based on her firsthand knowledge. From her days on Making the Band as she emerged as the breakout star, the truth of the situation would be opposite of the glitz and glamour. It wasn't all bad, but I don't know that any of the good was real. I went through things there. Listen to Amy and TJ Presents, Aubrey O'Day, covering the Diddy Trial on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

I'm Andrea Gunning, host of the podcast, Betrayal. Police Lieutenant Joel Kern used his badge to fool everyone. I'm Andrea Gunning, host of the podcast Betrayal. Police Lieutenant Joel Kern used his badge to fool everyone, most of all his wife Caroline. He texted, I've ruined our lives. You're going to want to divorce me. Caroline's husband was living another life behind the scenes. He betrayed his oath to his family and to his community. She said you left bruises, pulled her hair, that type of thing.

No. How far would Joel go to cover up what he'd done? You're unable to keep track of all your lies, and quite frankly, I question how many other women may bring forward allegations in the future. This season of betrayal investigates one officer's decades of deception, lies that left those closest to him questioning everything they thought they knew. Listen to Betrayal on the iHeart radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Hey y'all, it's your girl, T.S. Madison, coming to you live and in color from the Outlaws podcast. On this week's episode, we're talking to none other than Chaperone and Sasha Colby. And let me tell you, no topping is off limits, honey. We talk about the lovers, the haters, and the creator. I worked at Scooter's Coffee drive-through kiosk. And you are from the Midwest.

And in the Midwest, they told you, well, just be humble. You've heard this countless times. You too, right? Oh, yeah, it's very big in Hawaii. Mine was, I think, wrapped up in Christian guilt. Oh, yeah. We definitely had some Jehovah's Witness guilt there. Yeah.

Wait, were you Jehovah's Witness? Yeah. So you were Jehovah's Witness? I grew up that, yeah. My family still says, hey, my family still is. Hey. Oh, no, fine. No.

Listen, she may have been working the drive through in 2020, but she's the name on everybody's lips now, honey. Listen to Outlaws with T.S. Madison on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts, honey. Gender construct. OK. Social construct.

If you got a uterus here, you can have a baby. Yes, that's the point. If you got a uterus here you can have a baby. Yes, that's the point. If you have a uterus you can have a baby. Okay, cool, yeah we agree on that. You know Lene, has the Democratic Party tried to co-op your platform or message yet? Because I was reading this article in the New York Times yesterday

and it was the headline is Democrats throw money at a problem. But it basically is out there paying influences and they're trying to figure out how to utilize the internet and you know, deliver messaging like you do. I think they are late in the game. I think people gotta understand is Republicans have been using people with a microphone for years to just disseminate misinformation.

So it's not even like, that's not a tool that shouldn't be used because we do have to have some opposition. They haven't tried to buy me. No, I only talk to people I want to talk to. There's no amount of money, there's no check that just would make me want to jump on the bandwagon, especially because I have critiques. I got to be able to say whatever I want to say. And the Democratic Party definitely got some things that need to be worked on. I had the honor of working with some good people in the CBC. And that's the other thing like we live in America There's no institution that's got it right or has always had it right from jump

So I don't sit here and act like I absolutely have to agree with something a body has done since its conception But if I'm working with people who I understand are genuine in their efforts like I'm down with that because like I said I'm trying to be solution oriented and do no harm in as much as I can. And you mentioned Garrison early, I like Garrison a lot too. Have y'all ever thought about being in policy? You, the Garrisons of the world? Not me.

I'm not sure where Garrison has planned. I have met some influencers who are interested in that work. I just don't think it's personally my calling. Why? What does that mean? I think my role is to inspire. And my role is to work alongside when we look at people who have been a part of our story as far as black history goes, we got people in every industry. And I think we forget that it's not just about politics. It's also about who is singing songs. It's also about who's

acting on TV screens, because even like the Breakfast Club, who's listening to you guys speak every day, like we all have a role in getting people engaged in the process and we have to be in the marketplace en masse and in different ways to be able to exercise enough influence to get people focused back in on the problem. So I'm just one of those people and I consider myself more of an artist than anything. A storyteller as I said. I'm getting back into my poetry and spoken word but that's what I feel called and set to do.

When you were at Spelman, what was your major? Psychology. You wanted to be a therapist? Absolutely not. I wanted to understand people. Oh. Yeah. So you majored in psychology just to be able to understand people. Absolutely.

Dope. What did you want to understand about people exactly? Behavior, what drives behavior, also what affects behavior and you find out, you know, one of the biggest arguments is nature versus nurture and you just find out all the things that contextualize those two things whether it's your upbringing, whether it's like things you might inherit. Also like what socioeconomic stressors that have affected your family long term that can result in yielding specific behaviors or even psychotic breaks or what have you.

You don't have to get too deep into that kind of stuff. But at the end of the day, and I also was a person, I grew up in the deep south, Baptist. I didn't really understand that much about therapy. And I remember in one of my first classes, I was like, yeah, that's cool and all. I want to learn about bipolar disorder, but like black people don't really get that right right. And it was like, no girl, we are exposed to these sort of things. But anyway, I think at the end of the day, it just really helped me understand emotions and like I said, the validity of them and giving them space to exist and what can trigger you and what can't. And then also how outside stressors like race, like gender, like sexuality or

whatever also contribute to a person's well-being. And I think, saying it right now, I think what I just want most is for black people to be well, no matter what you look like, no matter who you with, no matter how you move throughout your life. I want us to be well and I want us to be invested in the wellness of one another because the object and goal of oppression is to make us sick, to make us distracted. And if we are focused on one another's wellness and wholeness, then we can be stronger than ever. What's the moment where you realized your influence was having real world consequences? For better or worse? Real world consequences? Honestly,

because I started during the pandemic, we was all inside, so I didn't get to really get to see people. But when we started to trickle back outside, and unfortunately Atlanta was among the first to get back outside, when people started meeting me and just like crying, like talking about like how either I changed their perspective on something or I helped heal a relationship in their family, or even really what it was. I think I was invited to speak somewhere at a school and an older woman about 60 years old, she took me to the side and she thanked me for saying things she never got to say when she was my age and that was really beautiful. Yeah. Well, Lenevani hosted a People's Brief every Tuesday

Hey, girl. I love that jacket. What's it say on the back? Good morning. You say this every time I wear this jacket. It's planes, right? Oh, that's planes? I don't got that. You know, I like planes. I need that. Yeah, that's my style. But anyway, we have a lot to get into because it's a lot going on in the rap world right now. People online are calling it Joey versus the West Coast, Joey versus 20.

Joey's been rapping and I've been here for it. I've really been enjoying this battle. So let's kick it off. I'm gonna just do the most recent records from the battle. Tell the people who the battle is for those who don't know. The battle, I mean, it's really Joey Badass versus Ray Vaughn. Is that what you're narrowing it down to? That's how it started. Yes. Well, it was really, it started in December with Joey kind of coming at Kendrick like this whole time Joey is really trying to get at Kendrick Joey bad-ass Kendrick is not responding You know Kendrick's on tour with SZA minding his business. So Ray Vaughn who's from LA and TD Yes, Ray Vaughn has responded but Reason has also responded as well

And then have a reason everybody's reason is they got to rep the West, okay You know people it's it's getting like not territorial regional. Okay. Yes, so regional rap is back And let's start with Joey badass crash dummy You know why this is good because all this reminded me was damn. I used to really like Joey badass It's not like I'm back to rap like I dislike him now. He's you know I just haven't heard a project in a while. I think the last thing you put out was a I dislike him now. I just haven't heard a project in a while. I think the last thing he put out was 2000. And you like that project.

I like All-American Badass. I like 1999. I like Joey Badass as an artist. Joey Badass gets busy. He got into his acting bag. But this just reminded me like, yo, Joey, he can rap. Now I felt like that last week too when I saw the Ab Soul freestyle with him and Big Sean.

Yeah, the Red Bull Cipher with Fire. Somebody else from the West Coast. As long as it stays on record. As long as it stays like this. That was dope too. Yeah, the Red Bull Cipher was fire. Somebody else from the West Coast. As long as it stays on record. As long as it stays like this. That was funny though, when Joey said that there's some guy named Asscheeks coming to him. Hey yo!

That was hilarious. Yeah, but now... Because when you look at the name, you're like A.Z. Cheeks. If you don't say A.Z. Cheeks, it does look like it could be Asscheeks. But now Ray Vaughn trying to insinuate that Joey Badass is gay because of his party with Diddy. That's hip hop.

I mean, let's get into it. This is Rayvon's Golden Eye. That's hard. Yeah, can't call it Golden Eye. If he said he's standing next to Diddy, he should have called it Brown Eye. That's ass cheeks. No, no, no. His name's not ass cheeks.

Oh my goodness. Rayvon Hard. The Good, the Bad, the Southerner. That album is dope. The Good, the Bad, the Dollar Menu. That's what it is. The Good, the Bad, the Something. That album is dope. The Good, the Bad, the Dollar Menu. That's what it is. The Good, the Bad, the Dollar Menu.

Yes it is. Rayvon, that album is dope too. I just wanna highlight Kai Cash because this was actually a really, really fire freestyle that he wrote. One, two, he's actually from New York because people are saying it's just Joey. When it's not just Joey, there's other spitters

and I think Kai did the best. And he dropped Knicks in the sixth today that the Knicks won. So let's get into it. He's snappin, there's other spitters, and I think Kai did the best. And he dropped Knicks in the sixth today that the Knicks won. So let's get into it. He's snappin'. He's going off too. Yeah, that sound like something you would've said to Lawrence, y'all.

He put more bubs than weaves. Oh, crazy. I'm like, okay, that was a bar. I like that. Yes, no, that's Kai. And I see a lot of people online saying, like, nobody cares about this G League rap, da da da da da da. And I just, I of people online saying like nobody cares about the G League rap And I just I really hate that narrative. I think it's unfair and it's not helping like this is healthy Yeah, I still they spin. I mean it's healthy if you like hip-hop. It's healthy if you like rap

I just happen to be a person who has been bumping the good the bad in the dollar menu So I'm already on Ray Vaughn and I'm a person that's always bump Joey badass So, you know those two I'm in I'm all in for why isn and I'm a person that's always bumped Joey badass. So, you know, those two, I'm in, I'm all in for. Why is it just those two? You got to listen. What about reasons? I'm old. I got to focus.

What about reasons? I didn't have a reason to listen to Reasons. I mean, it wasn't even a diss. I just didn't. And I like all the lyrical exercise and I'm not saying I'm not going to listen. I'm just saying my first priority was Ray Vaughn and Joey badass. I've been listening to them when they drop. Okay.

But you know everybody else involved No, this is Kai has gained a lot of new followers online Calling him like the MVP you put me on with him. Yes, we got me listening to him So that's that's dope lovely and it's cool. It's peaceful. It seemed like they just doing it for sport It's lyrical exercise. It ain't nothing crazy going on. I haven't heard anybody really disrespect nobody's family and nothing like that Yeah, I call it somebody gay. That's regular. That's regular. Regular to you and envy. No, that's regular. What you mean by that? That ain't regular to him. He said don't do that. In hip hop, being called gay in a rap

battle, being called a snitch, being called a sucker. Those are like, that's those are the basics. Oh, okay. Hip hop pertains to rap beef. Hip hop and soul basics. Got it. How do you feel about D1's take saying that, like he's saying that he doesn't like the beef and that it's unfair that people only care about rap when people are beefing. I think, I don't believe that.

I don't think people only care about rap when people are beefing. And I think that if D1 knew some of the inner workings of what's going on behind the scenes, he wouldn't take this so serious. Oh, so you think this is just the album rollout? I'm not gonna say it's just the album rollout, but I think that there's a lot of conversations

happening behind the scenes more than people know. I think people are having conversations about, you know, all right, we just rapping now. Like, you know what I mean? And I think people are taking it in that way. You think people are taking it that way? What you mean, the artists are? I think the artists are taking it that way,

but not the audience. Well, they think it's like real problems. Yeah, that's why they invest it. Cause these guys been rapping. We like this cause it's rap. Joey hasn't rapped in a while. Joey did this earlier this year, twice. What did Joey put up?

The rules back. Oh, the albums, yeah, I mean the songs. The rules back, yeah, but I'm saying that's a while. From January to now? I mean. It is. I guess Kai Kai just dropped the project cash rules. All I'm saying is all these people who are Rayvon just dropped the project. These people been rapping. And it's good for all these guys.

We're 11 minutes in on this break. Well, it's good for all of these guys, man. Yes. Well, if you guys want to keep up with the rap beef, make sure you guys tune into my playlist. Follow me on Instagram, at Nailah Simone. And if you guys are in the Tri-State, I'm actually having a little tea party.
