Each episode is about a different inspiring figure from history, like this one about Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old girl in Alabama who refused to give up her seat on the city bus nine whole months before Rosa Parks did the same thing. Check it. And it began with me.

It's Tuesday, Election Day. How y'all feeling out there? Y'all up and about? Y'all getting your out voting already?
Starting point is 00:03:47 Or you're heading to the polls? Good morning. Polls are open 6 a.m. Right now. Polls are open 6 a.m. Right now. Polls are open. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:54 Listen, man, I feel blessed, black, and highly favored. Happy to be here for another day to serve our beautiful listeners. And I hope that we, the people, us us and our beautiful listeners, I hope we go out there and do our civic duty and serve our country today. Go out there and cast our votes. That's right. I tried to go Sunday but I went a little too late
Starting point is 00:04:15 so I just missed the time so I'm going to be going this morning. Charlemagne was going to try to go yesterday. Thank God I told him not to. Hey, I saw people voting yesterday. You said that I know they came early voting closed, but I damn sure saw people voting yesterday. In New Jersey? It was
Starting point is 00:04:31 New something. Might have been New York. Might have been New York. Yeah, might have been New York. I don't remember. I went today too in Delaware. Yes, New Jersey you couldn't vote yesterday, but today is voting. Get your ass out there and vote today. Nah, man. You got to go out there and do your civic duty. I know a lot of people out there feel different ways,
Starting point is 00:04:51 feel various ways and various feelings in regards to, you know, does their vote count? Does their vote matter? I would tell you that, yes, it does. Right? Because if it didn't matter, they wouldn't try so hard to stop you from doing it. And I'm a person that likes to complain.
Starting point is 00:05:08 So being that I like to complain, I want to be able to participate in the process to be able to properly complain. That's right. I heard a lot of people saying they're in a state that's usually Democratic or a state that's usually Republican and they're like, well, I don't want to vote. My state is already this anyway or my state is that anyway. But no, it can switch.
Starting point is 00:05:26 It can swap immediately. So get your ass out there and vote, please. Yeah, I just want us to have a free and fair election all across the board. I mean, I know that there's going to be election interference some places. There's going to be voter suppression in some places. But, hey, man, the only defense that people usually have against voter suppression is large voter turnout. Go out there and do your civic duty. That's
Starting point is 00:05:49 all I can tell you. That's right. Tonight, I just want to remind you guys, let you guys know that the Breakfast Club and the Native Land Podcast will be doing a live coverage from D.C. We're going to be headed to D.C. in a little bit. Salute to Andrew Gillum, Angela Rye, and Tiffany. We're going to be hanging out with Tiffany Cross. We're going to be headed to D.C. in a little bit. Salute to Andrew Gillum,
Starting point is 00:06:05 Angela Rye, and Tiffany. We're going to be hanging out with them tonight in D.C. Talking about everything that's going on. I'm excited about this because I used to, as a kid, I would always watch CNN or Channel 2, Channel 5, whatever your local news station is.
Starting point is 00:06:21 And a lot of times, it would be confusing or it would be boring. So I think we can talk to the people the way that we talk and hopefully enlighten them in a better way than they did back then. Well, let's be clear. Angela Rye, Tiffany, and Andrew,
Starting point is 00:06:36 they talk like that, but they know how to communicate. Yeah, they got it. They got the balance. Yes. Absolutely. I can't wait for doing that later. We're going to be heading to D.C. Alright, but let's get the show cracking. We got front page news. Morgan Wood will be joining us. So we'll talk to her absolutely. I can't wait for doing that later. We're going to be heading to D.C. All right, but let's get the show cracking. We got front page news. Morgan Wood will be joining us, so we'll talk to her next. So don't go anywhere.
Starting point is 00:06:50 It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Alaris, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Lawn LaRosa filling in for Jess. And let's get in some front page news. Now on Monday Night Football, the Kansas City Chiefs beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 30-24.
Starting point is 00:07:06 They are undefeated, still 8-0 this season. Did you watch any of the games, Charlamagne? No. The Chiefs are good, though. The Chiefs are a solid team. The Chiefs look amazing. A little better than solid. But, Morgan.
Starting point is 00:07:19 Not solid. They're going to lose to the Ravens when they play the Ravens again. Hey, not too much on my team, okay? Calm down. Good morning. I'm giving y'all props. Hold on. Now you got the Chiefs on your team too now?
Starting point is 00:07:31 Oh, no, no. I thought you were saying, okay, never mind. All right, cool. Go off, King. All right. Nah, good morning, y'all. Big day today. Election day, Tuesday, November 5th.
Starting point is 00:07:42 And, of course, on top of the front page news is making sure you exercise your right to vote. Shout out to all the first time voters. You got a big job today. So Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump were blitzing key battleground states as the 2024 campaign wrapped up yesterday. VP Harris held a campaign event in Scranton, Pennsylvania, where she made her last push to voters and warned that Trump is divisive. Let's hear more from VP Harris in Scranton, Pennsylvania, where she made her last push to voters and warned that Trump is divisive. Let's hear more from BP Harris in Scranton. Let's be intentional about building community, about building community, about building coalitions, about reminding people we all have so much more in common than what separates us.
Starting point is 00:08:21 And over these last, you know, this whole era of this other guy, you know, but what it's done with all that talk that's been about trying to have us point fingers at each other and divide each other, it makes people feel alone. Hey, now that's something I agree with. Be intentional about building community. That is important. How many people wake up every day and they say to themselves they're going to be intentional about building a community meaning you know connect with people that are on the same
Starting point is 00:08:50 things you want but also connect with people who not because that's what makes it a a productive society if you ask me yeah i always say that i always say you know conversation is always better than uh arguing like it's okay to have a conversation if somebody doesn't necessarily agree with what you agree with or have the same you know whatever it may be it's okay to have a conversation. If somebody doesn't necessarily agree with what you agree with or have the same, you know, whatever it may be, it's okay to have a conversation. You learn some time in disagreement, too. You learn a lot in disagreement sometimes, too. Very true. Okay, so the vice president, she spent her entire day yesterday in Pennsylvania with five rallies. stop in Philadelphia, where she held an event at the outside of the city's Museum of Art
Starting point is 00:09:25 that featured Lady Gaga, The Roots, Ricky Martin, also Oprah Winfrey, Jazzy Jeff, and Fat Joe also attended rallies for Harris yesterday in Pennsylvania. Now, also in Pennsylvania, those 19 electoral votes is a key prize among seven, the seven all-important swing states. Now, Trump, he held four rallies across three states yesterday, one in North Carolina, one in Michigan, and two in Pennsylvania. So y'all see Pennsylvania. Shout out, PA.
Starting point is 00:09:53 So he went after VP Harris and made his last push to voters. Let's hear from former President Trump in Pennsylvania. She's violated her oath of office. She's eradicated our sovereign border and unleashed an army of gangs and criminal migrants from prisons and jails. Just show up and bring your vote. And if you have somebody else that got a little lazy, bring that person to. Bring all the voters.
Starting point is 00:10:18 OK, yes. So sticking around in PA, Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, to be exact. District Attorney Larry Krasner, he activated the city's election task force. It means the city will handle any possible situation where someone tries to interfere with the election in Philadelphia. Speaking at a press conference yesterday, Krasner said, anyone who decides to play those games will be subject to an arrest, but he said it in a very special way.
Starting point is 00:10:41 Let's hear from Philly DA, Larry Krasner. Everybody in this city is working and has been working for months to make sure that there will be nothing tough about that experience and nothing to fear in that experience. But I also want to be clear, anybody who thinks it's time to insult, to deride, to mistreat, to threaten people, F around and find out. We do have the cuffs. We do have the jail cells. We do have the Philly juries. And we have the state prisons.
Starting point is 00:11:20 Period, Pooh. F around and find out if you want to. Period, Pooh. Jesus. Yeah, I don't know who's writing the script for this season of This is America, but I guarantee it's a diversity hire. That was fantastic. And I wish Merrick Garland had that kind of energy when it came to locking Trump up a few years ago. So, of course, officials say anyone that may encounter any type of physical threat or violence when they go to vote at any poll anywhere across the country, be sure to reach out to your local law enforcement. Of course, that number is 911. So yep, we will be pockets of that.
Starting point is 00:11:55 It's gonna be little pockets of that all around the country. I mean, you're seeing it now you're hearing these stories about, you know, people assaulting people at the polls for you know, paraphernalia they're wearing, are people trying to intimidate folks at the polls. I gave the little boy, you know, paraphernalia they're wearing. People trying to intimidate folks at the polls. I gave the little boy, you know, donkey of the day last week in Florida, the 18-year-old, who I think he wielded an axe or something or a bat at some older lady. So you're going to see that. You saw the lady in Orangeburg who got into it with the guy who had on the Let's Go Brandon hat.
Starting point is 00:12:19 It's going to be little pockets of that all around the country. Yeah. But, you know, I would also tell people, you also remember that a lot of those people are volunteers and they're just trying to follow the rules and regulations in some cases so just make sure you know your rules and regulations when you're going to your polls and i would tell some of those people that you can get shot because a lot of those folks you know uh are in states you know where you can carry so you better be careful. All right.
Starting point is 00:12:46 F around and find out for real. All right, y'all. We'll get caught up with the VP hopefuls on the other side. And also, New York Governor Kathy Hochul. She's got some comments in regards to the election. We'll talk about that more at 7 a.m. All right. Everybody else, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051 if you need to vent.
Starting point is 00:13:01 Call us up right now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Ray, Ray, Ray. Yo, Charlamagne. Envy. What up? Are we live?
Starting point is 00:13:08 This is your time to get it off your chest. I got an indoor pool, an outdoor pool. We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. We can get on the phone right now. He'll tell you what it is. Are we live? Hello, who's this? You big?
Starting point is 00:13:21 You said Andrew? Yes, sir. Morning. Morning, fellas. How y'all doing? Peace, Andrew. Good, good, Morning. Morning, fellas. How y'all doing? Peace, Andrew. Good, good, good. Morning, morning.
Starting point is 00:13:29 Good morning. Yeah, so I wanted to just talk real quick about how important it is to go out and vote for VP Harris. This is not the time to sit down. This election is too important. How everybody's saying Donald Trump is too dangerous for everybody's democracy. And I don't know if some people even remember, but the abolishment of slavery wasn't until 1860 something. So if Trump even went back to 17,
Starting point is 00:14:03 whatever he's talking about, he could take the portion of where we were not 20 years away. So I don't know if people are even thinking about that either. Are you talking about the conversations he was having about reviving the Alien Enemies Act from the 1700s? Well, not even just that. I mean, were black people a part of the Alien Enemies Act? I think that was separate. I don't know. That's what I thought you were talking about. me, Zach, of 1790, which allows the U.S. President to detain, relocate, or deport
Starting point is 00:14:45 non-citizens from a country considered an enemy of the U.S. during wartime. And he's been suggesting that he would implement that for some reason. And he was suggesting he'd pursue the death penalty for undocumented immigrants if they're convicted of killing Americans.
Starting point is 00:15:01 Well, thank you, Andrew, for checking in. Okay, man. Hello, who's this? Hey, how you doing? This is Brandon Black. What's up? Get it off your chest. What's up, Brandon Black? Hey, how you doing, Charlamagne Tha God?
Starting point is 00:15:13 I was calling to raise awareness about depression because this weekend, me and my wife went through a loss. My wife lost her uncle, and my brother lost his dad. So I know a lot of people are going to be going through things, and you just got to just continue to think positive, you know, and not dwell on the negative. And I know another thing that's on how people going through depression is this election so i also um did a little song telling people to like just get out there and vote and no matter what happens you
Starting point is 00:15:55 know god got the last say so you know god is the best author and finisher and i would tell you to perform the song but people are depressed enough And you are absolutely right that today is election day. And the election has been causing a lot of anxiety in a lot of people. But also, it's the holidays. So it's a lot of seasonal depression going around. So everybody does need to go out there and take care of yourself. If you got a therapist, keep them on speed, dog. Hey, man, I appreciate y'all.
Starting point is 00:16:20 Make sure y'all get out there and vote. All right, brother. Have a good one. All right, man. Enjoy your life. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up now.
Starting point is 00:16:30 It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. This is your time to get it off your chest. Whether you're mad or blessed. I hate the way that you walk, the way that you talk. I hate the way that you dress. Everything with me is blessed.
Starting point is 00:16:46 Call up now. 800-585-1051. Not just me. I'm with the culture feeling. Hello, who's this? Good morning. This is Tyesha. Good morning, Envy.
Starting point is 00:16:56 Good morning. What's up, Tyesha? Get it off your chest. All right. So what I wanted to get off my chest is basically a conversation I hear y'all having all the time about Drake still being mad and showing how mad he is.
Starting point is 00:17:08 And also, it's what I said about Diddy Sons and Ray J. So, Envy, you always saying, like, the reason that they're mad is because they have personal relationships, and Charlotte never understands that. And I'm definitely just doubling up on what you said so i feel like with drake and kendrick drake is more mad with kendrick i mean not kendrick um future and the weekend because he had personal relationships with them so imagine someone you thought was your friend you found out they didn't like you on a track i don't think he's more so mad about kendrick even though clearly that hurt his feelings he's mad about the people who he thought he had relationships with, who he found out didn't like him on the track. Oh, no, man.
Starting point is 00:17:49 I have to strongly disagree with that. I mean, Drake has already even said on a record that the future situation makes him sick to his stomach, meaning that he don't want that beef. Like, I think that was on the – he said that on the Family Matters record, if I'm not mistaken. He said on one of those records. He said the future beef is the one that had his stomach family matters record yeah and clearly kendrick hasn't bothered because anything revolving around the kendrick situation is what he seems to be bothered about the most that demar de rosen thing the other night that was because demar de rosen's from compton and kendrick mentioned him in the song and kendrick
Starting point is 00:18:19 mentioned him in the video all right the question did kendrick and demar ever have a relationship really before this? Like, that's going to hurt your feelings. But that's the whole point. We don't know. Yes, we do. We don't know their relationship. We don't know how cool they are.
Starting point is 00:18:32 They all feel the same way. What are you talking about? We interviewed DeMar DeRozan. Like, DeMar said him and Kendrick, they homies from Compton. Right. They're cool, but I don't know how close they are. Like, we don't know if they're going to say thanksgiving. He literally said he was cool with both of them.
Starting point is 00:18:47 No, no, no. You got selective hearing. That's the problem. He said that when it came down to Drake and Kendrick. He said he was cool with Kendrick. He said he got love for both of them, but he had a relationship with Drake. We played the clip yesterday. When y'all speak again, clarify it.
Starting point is 00:19:03 We played the clip yesterday. It's election day, guys. Can we talk about election day? Lauren, did we not play the clip yesterday? Okay, Bo Camilla. We did play the clip yesterday. He said that he was cool with Bo Camilla. However, Kendrick was his.
Starting point is 00:19:18 Oh, we got the clip. We played the clip. Now, you played in Toronto for years. But then Kendrick's from Compton. Drake is from Toronto. That's your guy. How do you choose what you're going to get into
Starting point is 00:19:27 and what you're not going to get into at that point? Love them both, but at the end of the day, it's like I'm from Compton. My city, where I'm from, where I'm born, where my family still live,
Starting point is 00:19:37 that comes first before anything. Any real person would understand that. That's just what it is. That's why y'all don't learn nothing. We don't know their relationship. That's not what he... Did y'all hear what he said? He just said, I love y'all. I never met y'all. You know, and that's just what it is. And that's exactly what I said. I said we don't know their relationship. That's not what he... Did y'all hear what he said? He just said, I love them both.
Starting point is 00:19:49 That's what he just said. But I'm going to vote. Y'all get in the situations y'all get into. You don't listen. I'm going to vote. Okay. All right. Forget about that.
Starting point is 00:19:57 Let's go about the election. I did early vote. I'm from the Bronx. Real ghetto. You know, crazy people. Stop. Don't do that. I moved to North Carolina. clearly a Trump little town.
Starting point is 00:20:08 So I early voted on Saturday. So I'm standing behind this white lady. A white man comes out. He asks her, who are you voting for? She said, it's confidential. He said, don't make me change my doctor. That made my anxiety act up so bad. Really?
Starting point is 00:20:22 That's how racist they are in this little town. Don't make me change my doctor. It's everywhere. Can I ask you a hypothetical question? And I know this would never happen, but if you went to the voting booth and somebody said, who you voting for? Trump or Kamala? And you say, hey, I love them both, but at the end of the day,
Starting point is 00:20:38 I'm a woman, so I'm voting for Kamala. Who people think you're riding with? Goodbye, Tyesha. You have a good morning. Duh. That's exactly what DeMar DeRozan just said. She said that so softly. She said Kamala. And by the way, Lauren, do you see how they both tried to cut it off?
Starting point is 00:20:54 They did a real Trump move just now. I didn't cut it off. They both tried to cut it off right after they heard what they wanted to hear. I didn't cut it off. Even though DeMar DeRozan. Red let the whole thing play. What are you talking about? The whole clip played.
Starting point is 00:21:03 No, you didn't. You cut it off. The man said, I love them both, but at the end of the day, I'm from Compton. I'm riding with Kendrick. He said, I'm from Compton. He did say I was riding. You know what? Forget it.
Starting point is 00:21:11 You cut it off. I don't control it. Now I control the sound effects. Now I control the clips. Man, shut up, man. Shut up. I'm riding with both of y'all, but at the end of the day. Who you voting for?
Starting point is 00:21:21 Kamala. I thought you said Trump. So you said Trump behind the scenes. No, I'm just messing with you. See how you said Trump. You said Trump behind the scenes. No, don't get me. I'm just messing with you. See how things get tied up? Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051.
Starting point is 00:21:30 If you need to vent, you can hit us up now. We got Just With The Mess coming up. What are we talking about? We do. We're going to talk some voting things. There's a lot trending this morning. I thought it was really interesting. And we're going to get into some of the celebrities who've been posting about voting.
Starting point is 00:21:40 And Rihanna. She went viral yesterday for her voting commentary. All right. We'll get into that next it's the Breakfast Club good morning Morning everybody it's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious Charlamagne Tha God, we are the Breakfast Club
Starting point is 00:21:56 Lauren LaRosa filling in for Jess and let's get to Jess with the mess News is real. Weather is real. Lauren's Jessica Robin Moore. Jets don't do no lying. Don't do no lying. She don't spare nobody. Worldwide Jets. Worldwide Mets. On The Breakfast Club. She's a coach of shoes. With Lauren.
Starting point is 00:22:16 Lauren LaRosa. I'm back. And I got the Mets. Talk to me. All right, y'all. So, it is election day. And anytime when I come in in the morning, I'm preparing to get just with the best together, one of the things that I look at is like,
Starting point is 00:22:29 what are you guys out there talking about, caring about, and why? So, this morning I came in, and one of my producers, shout out to Sim Sim, was like, yo, what I noticed on the Google Trends, and what she's talking about is, what are people searching in the U.S. the most across Google? She's like, it's all voting stuff. And I know that there's like, so many conversations right now about what are people searching in the U.S. the most across Google. She's like it's all
Starting point is 00:22:45 voting stuff and I know that there's like so many conversations right now about are people getting out the vote? Do people care? Are people getting off the couch? And I will say based off these trends I think we are defeating the couch. So one of the top trends right now is what time does voting open and you can google that to find it out in your area. And there's over 500,000 people right now actively searching that and it's going up. As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going.
Starting point is 00:23:39 This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like, grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best.
Starting point is 00:23:53 And you're gonna figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Starting point is 00:24:07 So y'all, this is Questlove, and I'm here to tell you about a new podcast I've been working on with the Story Pirates and John Glickman called Historical Records. It's a family-friendly podcast. Yeah, you heard that right. A podcast for all ages. One you can listen to and enjoy with your kids starting on September 27th. I'm going to toss it over to the host of Historical Records, Nimany, to tell you all about it. Make sure you check it out. Hey y'all, Nimany here. I'm the host of a brand new history podcast for kids and families called Historical Records. Historical Records brings history to life through hip-hop. Each episode is about a different inspiring figure from history.
Starting point is 00:25:02 Like this one about Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old girl in Alabama who refused to give up her seat on the city bus nine whole months before Rosa Parks did the same thing. Check it. And it began with me. Did you know, did you know? I wouldn't give up my seat. Nine months before Rosa, it was called a moment. Get the kids in your life excited about history by tuning in to Historical Records.
Starting point is 00:25:23 Because in order to make history, you have to make some noise. Listen to Historical Records on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey there, my little creeps. It's your favorite ghost host, Teresa. And guess what? Haunting is back, dropping just in time for spooky season. Now I know you've probably been wandering the mortal plane, wondering when I'd be back to fill your ears with deliciously unsettling stories.
Starting point is 00:25:53 Well, wonder no more. Because we've got a ghoulishly good lineup ready for you. Let's just say things get a bit extra.

On July 8, 1992, apartment buildings with pools were never quite the same as Melrose Place was introduced to the world. It took drama and mayhem to an entirely new level.

Now listen telling me people are Googling voting like they do target. What time does voting open? Yes. You mean the polls? Yes. The polls. Yes.

People are Googling voting near me. Where can I vote? Am I registered to vote? What do I need to bring to vote? Polling place hours uh voting registration status what time to the and then i thought this was interesting what time do the polls open in pa
Starting point is 00:29:10 is one of the rising ones right now it's on the lower end with 10 000 people 10 000 plus people searching this actively right now but it's going up and i do believe you know there was a big move yesterday in pennsylvania with everyone that was there with Kamala to support her and Oprah and Fat Joe so yeah these are some of the trends that's happening right now so if you are looking for that information join your fellow you know online users and google it and search it now speaking of Pennsylvania polls open up at 7 a.m by the way thank you for that Sharla the 8 p.m that look at you on your google I know that's right um so speaking of pennsylvania i know we talked about this in uh front page news but i actually wanted to hear you know from oprah and
Starting point is 00:29:50 from fat joe who were there with kamala harris let's take a listen to oprah yesterday i was all the way across the country and i was hiking on a sunday afternoon and i met a woman named angela who told me that she was going to sit this one out. Now I know she was immediately sorry she told me that because I would not let up. So I said sit this one out. We don't get to sit this one out. If we don't show up tomorrow it is entirely possible that we will not have the opportunity to ever cast a ballot again. That's a fact. Yeah. I don't know why people are playing with it.
Starting point is 00:30:27 That's what authoritarian rule does. I don't know why we're playing with it. Yeah, and that's literally been said to us as well, too. Now, we also, you know, heard Fat Joe speaking yesterday. If you didn't hear, we're going to play it for you right now. But he touched on a lot of things. So let's take a listen to Fat Joe speaking on pride and how your pride needs to come into this voting this message is going to be short but sweet and it's about pride to my latinos not just to puerto ricans to my mexican brothers and sisters
Starting point is 00:30:58 the day i seen donald trump come down that escalator and call them Mexicans, drug dealers and rapists. He obviously didn't know the Mexican-Americans that I know. If that wasn't enough, we had Hurricane Maria where people were walking in water up to waist deep. Families were fighting. I went to Puerto Rico. They had no water. They had no supplies. The man went over there and threw tissue at the people of Puerto Rico. They had no water. They had no supplies. The man went over there and threw tissue at the people of Puerto Rico.
Starting point is 00:31:29 Where's your pride? If you're still out there talking about you might be voting for somebody or you're not decided. Where's your pride as a Latino? Now, how did that make you feel as a Dominican? Did Fat Joe's speech move you? Fat Joe's speech did move me, but I'm not Latino. I'm move you Fat Joe's speech did move me but I'm not Latino I'm actually black but uh his speech did move me I mean he's speaking from a place of somebody who's fighting to fight and been fighting to fight for a long time he went there and I
Starting point is 00:31:55 remember him getting uh Floyd Mayweather, Roc Nation and everybody else that could fill up jets because there was no planes going there to just fill up those jets with supplies and and help his people out so yeah it definitely moved me but i am african-american i'm black sir yo he won't let you live on election day go ahead i will say i like fat joe speech too but fat joe definitely knows some mexican drug dealers not all not all mexicans are drug dealers when he said that i was like oh he knew a couple he knew a couple okay No. No. When he said that, I was like, oh. He knew a couple. He knew a couple. Okay.
Starting point is 00:32:29 Back in the day. A long, long, long, long time ago. Not anymore. Go ahead. Also, too. So, Norrie mentioned or Noriega mentioned that or is it going to be. We didn't play it. Oh, we didn't play it. Okay.
Starting point is 00:32:39 Well, Fat Joe also talked about the fact that, you know, when everything happened at Madison Square Garden with Donald Trump, it wasn't funny. He said, you know, I like to joke around, tell stories, but that was not funny whatsoever. And more importantly, he says people know Fat Joe for being real. Like he's authentic. You can trust him. You can believe him. Yes. And here's where he's throwing all of his support.
Starting point is 00:32:59 Let's take a listen. I don't know why, but if I'm speaking to some undecided Puerto Ricans, especially in Pennsylvania, what more they got to do to show you who they are? I'm telling you. And the thing about Fat Joe, if you don't know him, he's authentic. He will not sell his soul for nobody in the world. If I tell you Kamala Harris is with us, she's with us. Kamala.
Starting point is 00:33:29 You know what's going to hurt me in the future? What? What's that? When Fat Joe runs for mayor in New York and I'm not able to vote for him because I'm not a New York resident. But boy, I'm going to tell you one thing. Fat Joe is going to run for mayor in New York one day. And he's going to win. I'm telling you all that right now.
Starting point is 00:33:40 Absolutely. If he chooses. And he'll run this state amazing. I think he would. Well, it's the mayor of New York. New York City. he'll run the state amazing i think he would well it's the mayor of new york city he would run the city amazing well uh speaking of being residents citizenship all that stuff rihanna popped out yesterday on on on the gram and she posted a video of her in a car looking out the window just like you know gazing through the window and it says point of view me trying to sneak into the polls with my son's passport hashtag vote because i can now her caption was where you know she won she said

And she said, where were you January 6th? Stick to your discounted crotch. We out here fighting for its rights. She's discounting crotch?
Starting point is 00:35:37 Yeah. She's saying that we out here fighting for the coochies.

Starting point is 00:36:13 undecided today is election day are you still undecided what makes you undecided we're going to open up the phone lines and we'd love to talk to you 800-585-1051. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Lauren LaRosa filling in for Jess. And let's get in some front page news.
Starting point is 00:36:37 Now, some quick sports. Last night, the Kansas City Chiefs, the undefeated Kansas City Chiefs, beat the Buccaneers 30-24. All right. Chiefs look the Buccaneers 30-24. All right. Chiefs look damn good. Morning. Yeah, but I think it's a fix. I'm going to be honest with you. I think that the NFL is rigging all the Chiefs games just because Taylor Swift is there.
Starting point is 00:36:55 I really feel that way. Oh, boy. Good morning, Morgan. Good morning, Envy, Charlemagne, and Lauren. Y'all all right? Yes. All right. So today is a big day, y'all.
Starting point is 00:37:04 Election day, Tuesday, November 5th. We're finally here. We made it to the promised land. Now let's keep our promise, okay? And get out there and vote. Make sure you exercise your right. Shout out to all the first-time voters. Y'all got a big job today.
Starting point is 00:37:17 So Democratic Vice Presidential hopeful Tim Walz, he held a campaign event in Wisconsin yesterday where he made his final push to voters for the Harris campaign and talked about how VP Harris will stand up for the American people. Let's hear more from Tim Walls in Wisconsin. The thing is upon us now, folks. I know there's a lot of anxiety, but the decisions that are made over the next 24, 36 hours when those polls close will shape not just the next four years they will shape the coming generations she stood up for women and children against predators and abusers she stood up with seniors and workers against fraudsters and big corporate interest she stood up for families
Starting point is 00:37:54 and communities against international gangs and drug traffickers and she never once hesitated to reach across the aisle yeah any thoughts on thoughts on that? My thoughts, I think, you know, Tim Walz has not been holding up his end of the bargain. Okay, he started off strong, but there's been a lot of people who have finished stronger than him as far as sanity is concerned. Josh Shapiro, Bill Clinton, Mark Cuban, there's a lot of people I've seen go out there
Starting point is 00:38:19 and sell the case for the vice president that have been stronger than the VP Tim Walz. I haven't heard much of him in the last couple of weeks honestly. He's on the ticket so I'm voting Kamala Harris regardless. So you're going to stick beside him. Speaking of reaching across
Starting point is 00:38:38 the aisles. No, her. He's going to stick beside her but I'm sticking with her. He's going to stick beside her, you're going to stick beside her. Everybody's going to stick beside her. Alright,'m sticking with her. He's going to stick beside her. You're going to stick beside her. Everybody's going to stick beside. All right, so speaking of reaching across the aisles, Republican vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance, he also held a rally in Wisconsin yesterday morning where he made his final push to voters for the Trump campaign. Now, Vance, he slammed V.P. Harris on immigration and praised the number of Republicans who voted early in this election. Let's hear more from Vance in Wisconsin.
Starting point is 00:39:05 She's rolling out the red carpet for illegal immigration. She's inviting people to come into this country. She's giving them health care, social security, and housing benefits paid for by all of you. If you look at the early vote numbers, the absentee vote numbers, Republicans were doing as well as we ever have in the history of american elections now traditionally democrats actually vote early and you tend to see uh republicans at the polls day of it seems to be quite the well i was going to say it seems it appears to be the the reverse but of course we won't know those numbers until after today well that's because this election
Starting point is 00:39:41 cycle trump is telling them to vote early last election, Trump was telling them not to vote early. And he was telling them not to do mail-in voting, if I'm not mistaken. Remember, I don't know if we remember this, but 2020, he was telling them, don't vote early, don't vote early, don't vote early. This time, he's telling them to go vote early. Yes, and actually encouraging mail-in voting as well, too, which was kind of ironic because he... He didn't last time. Last time, he said the opposite. All right. So meanwhile, bringing things home to New York, Governor Kathy Hochul. New York Governor Kathy Hochul says agencies across the state are preparing for anything in the aftermath of Election Day.
Starting point is 00:40:11 With several polls showing former President Trump and Vice President Harris in a tight race, the governor cautions there may not be a clear winner for a while. And that's why she's ordered several state agencies to coordinate with local law enforcement to ensure election-related demonstrations remain peaceful while also protecting New Yorkers' right to free speech. Let's hear more from New York Governor Kathy Hochul. Telling all the votes and declaring all the official winners can take time. That's totally normal, especially in tight races. I've directed the New York State Police and the Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services to assist local law enforcement agencies statewide to ensure that any large gatherings or
Starting point is 00:40:52 protests remain peaceful and safe. They're trained for this. They've been tabletopping this. They're prepared for this over months and months, and if not years, preparing for these days. As always, my top priority is keeping New Yorkers safe. Yeah, so she also went on to say that she wants to ensure election day runs smooth as possible by ordering agencies quickly to respond to anything that may go awry with downed power lines, internet issues, or weather-related road closures. Speaking of weather, today is expected to be like mostly favorable for um with some exceptions across the country so voters in western montana may have to deal with some blizzard
Starting point is 00:41:30 conditions and snow is expected in some parts of idaho washington and oregon but most of the rainfall is expected to impact central u.s with some showers and thunderstorms uh possible from the chicago area down to hou. Temperatures in Arizona and Nevada will be in the 60s and 70s. Also, the same on the East Coast here between Pennsylvania and D.C. and Virginia, North Carolina. Also,
Starting point is 00:41:55 Michigan and Pennsylvania will also see higher than, or it says above average normal temperatures. That's how you know it ain't no weather machine. Because if it was really a weather machine, wouldn't you use it today? Wouldn't you use it in certain states, especially the battleground states, in certain areas to keep certain people from probably getting to the polls? That's how you know it ain't no real weather machine.
Starting point is 00:42:15 That's election interference. No, but seriously, the weather should be nice today, so go ahead and get out there and vote. And I will see y'all. And, Mo, I want to point out one quick double standard. You played the J.D. Vance clip. And, you know, people will always say things like, oh, all the Vice President Kamala Harris does is speak about Trump. All she does is speak about Trump. And that's all Kamala's campaign does is speak about Trump.
Starting point is 00:42:38 But that's what politicians do. That's what J.D. Vance just was on a whole rant about Kamala as well. Like, that's what they do. Right. It's true J.D. Vance just was on a whole rant about Kamala as well. Like, that's what they do. Right. It's true. All right. Well, I'll see y'all tonight at Howard University. I'll be out there as well, you know, with Black Information Network.
Starting point is 00:42:53 And, of course, anyone, again, if you encounter any physical threats or violence when you go out to vote, call the Popo Ho. Call them. Call the Popo Ho. Call the Popo. I hear you, Morgan. Call the Popo Ho. No, we're not on that. We're not rocking. You know what I'm. Yes. Call the Popo Ho. No, we not on that. We not rocking.
Starting point is 00:43:07 You know what I'm saying? We got rights and we gonna exercise them things today. Okay? The DMV just came out of her. Yeah, call Popo Ho. No, real quick. Hurry it, Pooh. Okay?

Starting point is 00:43:41 Are you still undecided and why? By the way, if you're still undecided, you just want attention at this point. You're just saying things for attention. That's how I feel about people who drink espresso martinis. They just want attention. I don't know how that related, but that was my first thought. I feel you for some reason. For some reason, I can see that.
Starting point is 00:43:56 Espresso martinis, they just want attention. You're still undecided. You just want attention. All right, let's discuss. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:44:08 Now, if you're just joining us, we have Nori on the line. And Nori, this morning, we're talking to people that are voting for Trump, and we want to know why. Oh, you're talking to the wrong person. N-O, what's up, N-O? Yeah, yeah, I'm black, black, yo. Yeah, I'm black, black. I don't know if you got me confused. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, I'm black, black. What's up, Nori?.? Yeah, yeah, I'm black, black, yo. Yeah, I'm black, black. I don't know if you got me confused.
Starting point is 00:44:26 You know what I'm saying? Yeah, I'm black, black. What's up, Nori? I like my money, though. I like my money, but I still like my people more. Nori, if you like your money, do you know since World War II, the economy has done better under Democratic presidents? I don't know where the narrative came from that Republicans put more money in your pocket,
Starting point is 00:44:43 but it's just not true. And I didn't realize this until a few months ago. Yep, I believe you there. So, what do you go out there and tell people today? Because, you know, we're reaching out. Some of the celebrities are calling up to make sure
Starting point is 00:44:58 people go out there and vote. What do you say to the people today that are undecided, that still don't know which way they want to go, Nori? I'd just say go with your people, man. You know what i'm saying like um like like me when i look at uh kamala i hope i hope i pronounced her name right you know she reminds me you know i mean she reminds me of a person in my family you know what i mean so although a person in my family might not be perfect but i still gonna go with a person in my family you know what i'm saying so that's how i am my politics is very simple it It's, it don't got, I don't want you to get a explanation out of me. You won't get
Starting point is 00:45:28 a straight simple. And what I heard my brother fat Joe say yesterday, um, I, I, I, I, I, I, almost a tear came to my eye because you know, fat Joe makes a lot of money and I know his pockets is leaning towards being a Republican. Like, you know, Charlemagne just said, or, or, or whatever. But you know, the fact that it's not what I said, disrespected. I know that I knew, you know, Charlemagne just said or whatever. But, you know, the fact that he's mad disrespected. I know that, you know, you alluded to, you know what I'm saying? But what I'm saying is, you know how Fat Joe delivered that speech and he stood with the black people, with the Jewish people, with the Latino people.
Starting point is 00:45:57 And that just made all the sense to me to the world. So that's where I'm at with it. You know what I mean? And I definitely vote whatever Fat Joe votes. Okay. I was going to say, also, congratulations. We see that you're doing a Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg interview. That's going to be pretty big.
Starting point is 00:46:10 Ooh, at ComplexCon. That's going to be a big up to ComplexCon, a big up to Dr. Dre and Snoop. Because we've been had this deal. We couldn't announce it. But adding on to that is November 16th in Las Vegas at 8 o'clock in the morning. I'm getting with No Sleep in the Running Club, Gin and Juice, Monster Energy Drink, and Mark Wahlberg from This is Who Clothing.
Starting point is 00:46:31 And we're doing a three-mile run in Las Vegas so people can come and get healthy with us. You know, people come and drink with me all the time. But I want people to come and do a three-mile run with us. We reached out to the city of Las Vegas so we could get permits. But even if we don't get permits, we're going to do it just as, you know what I mean, just as people. And the people who run with us, you know, they win a chance
Starting point is 00:46:50 to go see Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg live be interviewed by Drink Champs. So, you know, I wanted to, you know, announce that first in the Breakfast Club. Envy, you said you wanted to run yesterday. You going to go do that one? I can do the three-mile run. I'm not, the 26 mile, I got to work myself up to. And Nori, also, lastly, congratulations on your new hair.
Starting point is 00:47:06 I see you got that new. Yo, listen, NBA answered my text as I grew my hair out, man. NBA. NBA, man. Tell them, Norrie, that's your real hair. Tell them to stop playing with you. That's my real hair. You know, that's my Puerto Rican.
Starting point is 00:47:20 My Puerto Rican's growing out. You know what I'm saying? My wife asked me to grow it out, and I said, you know what? My wife gets what my wife wants you know what i'm saying that's right yeah make sure make sure y'all listen to the drink champs podcast on the black effect iheart radio podcast network and nori just to be clear on what i said the economy grows more under democratic presidents the economy does better under democrats that's a fact more job creation and the unemployment rate decreases under Democratic presidents.
Starting point is 00:47:48 And when you talk about recessions, there's been 11 U.S. recessions between 1953 and 2020. Ten began under Republican presidents. But, you know, I wasn't alluding to that when I said that. I was alluding to when you said, I don't know where that rumor started. And that's what the majority of people think. The majority of people think that under a Republican regime, they make more money. Because of the last time Trump was in office, a lot of people were making money. But that's what I was alluding to.
Starting point is 00:48:15 That's right. Yeah. But my vote is for the black people, God damn it. Jeez Louise, Papa Cheese. Hey, go see us November 16th. Dr. Dre, Snoop, on Drink Chats. And come run with us in the morning before that. Thank you, Purpose Club.

Starting point is 00:48:47 you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves, for self preservation and protection. It was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself.

Starting point is 00:53:18 On July 8, 1992, apartment buildings with pools were never quite the same as Melrose Place was introduced to the world. It took drama and mayhem to an entirely new level. We are going to be reliving every hookup, every scandal, every backstab, blackmail and explosion, and every single wig removal together. Secrets are revealed as we rewatch every moment with you. Special guests from back in the day will be dropping by. You know who they are. Sydney, Allison, and Joe are back together on Still the Place with a trip down memory lane and back to Melrose Place. So listen to Still the Place on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts. Right.
Starting point is 00:54:13 I hope you guys, you know I got a criminal record and now I'm a Lego? Come on, bro. This is, this is, this is, this is, you couldn't write a better story.
Starting point is 00:54:21 You know what I mean? And I love it. I love the fact that Pharrell made me involved. I love the fact that Pharrell didn't even tell me what I was doing. The whole time, I did not know what I mean? And I love it. I love the fact that Pharrell made me involved. I love the fact that Pharrell didn't even tell me what I was doing. The whole time I did not know what I was doing. And I thought about it. If he would have told me I was a Lego, I would have tried to act like a Lego
Starting point is 00:54:33 so it was best that he didn't tell me I was going to be in a Lego. Nuri, how does a Lego act? They just be sitting there. So tell us how a Lego acts. Let me tell you something. I would have figured it out. I would have figured it out. I would have figured it out. I would have watched all the Lego movies and tried to imitate them. But I'm glad that the movie is rated for everybody.
Starting point is 00:54:51 You know what I'm saying? I brought my family. I rented out a movie theater. I came to the premiere. Nas called me about it. That was one of my greatest moments in life, man. Thank you, Pharrell. And thank you, me, for being a part of his story. All right.
Starting point is 00:55:02 That's right. Salute, N-O. Later, N-O. All right, we're opening up the phone lines, 800-585-1051. We're asking, you're going out, today's election day, you're voting. Now, we're asking, are you still undecided? Call us up. Let's discuss.
Starting point is 00:55:14 It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Daddy calling my phone. Tell her, tell her. Made it. It's topic time. Call 800-585-1051 to join into the discussion with the breakfast club morning everybody it's dj envy just hilarious charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club
Starting point is 00:55:32 now if you're just joining us we're asking are you still undecided today is election day uh hopefully people are going out there and voting but it's election day and a lot of people are still undecided and we got a lot of people on the line. Man, you just want attention if you're still undecided at this point. Like, how could you be undecided the day of the election? Are you just going to go in the booth and flip a coin? And we got Jason on the line. Jason, good morning. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:55:54 Peace, blessings, and balanced love to the whole family. Peace, King. How you doing, brother? Don't tell me you're still undecided, Blackie. Hey, I am. And the reason is, it's not because I want attention. I'm an A, B, C, D attention. It's more so because the two times I voted in my 45 years of life,
Starting point is 00:56:13 the person that I voted for won a popular vote than when they elected. Those two people, Ben Gore and Hillary Clinton. I understand. But you voted for President Obama, I'm sure, right? Of course not. Oh, you didn't vote for Obama? No. Oh, well, he won. It's similar
Starting point is 00:56:32 with Kamala. Kamala? I saw... I wasn't hearing anything about policies. You're not listening then, my brother. Here's the thing. I love you. I listen very hard, brother.
Starting point is 00:56:48 I listen very hard. I'm from the city where Martin Luther King gave his I Have a Dream speech for the first time. Which Trump visited last week. I was born in the Bronx, which Trump also visited. Trump is talking about
Starting point is 00:57:04 removing fluoride from our drinking water. That is a very important thing. Like, where, where, where, and if I could, I just want to speak on one other thing while I'm able to get things off my chest. But those of y'all who claim that we shouldn't want reparations anymore because we can get whatever we need. It's like, if you loan somebody $300, I know y'all got it, but anyway, if you loan somebody $300 and they took, say, six years
Starting point is 00:57:34 to pay you that $300 back, but they paid you back with interest, they gave you $900 back instead, right? Are you going to tell them, nah, are you going to take that $900? Well, listen, can I say something to you, brother? Trump isn't speaking about reparations at all. And the Vice President...
Starting point is 00:57:49 Let me finish. The Vice President is at least engaging in those conversations and has been for some years since she ran the first time in 2020. So, I mean, if that's one of your issues, then you're being disingenuous if you're telling me that you're leaning towards Trump on that. Well, that's what it seems like.
Starting point is 00:58:06 But, I mean, he has to do his homework. And Kamala Harris's policies have been all over her website. So she can definitely check out. Listen to the town hall that we played today. And that's all she's been discussing is her policies. Just listening from the outside, when you ask Kamala about her policy, she has a plan. When you talk to Trump about his policies, he doesn't have a plan. I'll let you know. Concept of a plan. Let me think about it. I got a concept.
Starting point is 00:58:28 He literally said, I have a concept of a plan. It's like, come on. Come on, man. That conversation on Election Day morning, you still ain't heard no policy? You ain't listening, my brother. That's crazy. Respectfully. Hello, who's this? Hi, Teresa. Hey, Teresa.
Starting point is 00:58:44 Good morning. Now, you're still undecided on Election Day? Yep, Teresa. Hey, Teresa. Good morning. Now, you're still undecided on election day? Yep, I'm still undecided. I just think that it's just a big circus, really. Because, you know, a president comes in year after year. We're still in the same cycle with the same problems. Nothing ever gets fixed. I just think you just have to handle your own things yourself wait what do you mean how do you handle it yourself meaning like i think it's just back if you focus on yourself pick a skill learn that skill really well make money
Starting point is 00:59:19 build your own resources net worth and if you need to maybe get out where you need to get out get out but maybe don't, let's not rely on these people is what I'm trying to say. But what about voting? Yeah, because I think you cannot rely on people. But even if you plan to go
Starting point is 00:59:33 get a trade, get a skill, go out in the workforce, live your day-to-day life, there's still rules and regulations and regimes that you have to do that under. And the politicians matter because of that. Like they're putting all that into place,
Starting point is 00:59:43 local, federal, all that. True, true. I just don just don't i don't know i guess i don't like how it's gotten so like you can't even have a discussion about either side without someone blowing up i can understand that that's true do you drink espresso martinis? Nope. Only wine. No, but I agree with you. And this is what I've been saying for the last couple of weeks. I mean, we should be able to have conversations, whether you agree on one side or agree on another side, without people blowing up, without getting violent, without people be calling each other names.
Starting point is 01:00:16 We should be able to have those conversations. Hopefully you're still going out there and hoping today, though, man. To act like elections don't have consequences is ridiculous. When we've seen Roe v. Wade be overturned. And now because of that, you know, 41 states have some type of abortion bans in effect. OK, 13 states have a total abortion ban. 28 states have abortion bans based on gestational duration. So you talk about doing things yourself. I can name one thing you probably don't want to do yourself.
Starting point is 01:00:42 But there's probably some people who have to because they're in a state that have a total abortion ban, ma'am. Okay? Yeah. Well, Teresa, get out there and vote today. I will. Have a good one. She's saying I'm so depressed. I will. I mean, I'm telling you at this point, and I mean this respectfully
Starting point is 01:00:59 to everybody, if you're saying things like, you know, you don't believe this person has policy, you know, or whatever, you're not paying attention. know you don't believe this person has policy you know or whatever you're not paying attention you're being willfully ignorant at this point willfully ignorant and please don't call the pay and say things like you know elections don't have consequences that's just not true we're living it right now 800-585-1051 we want to talk to the undecided voters it's election day Have you not decided as of yet? Let's let's let's talk. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Starting point is 01:01:34 If y'all talking about it, you know, we talking about it. It's topic time. Call 800-585-1051 to join into the discussion with the Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Lauren LaRosa filling in for Jess, if you're just joining us. We're just opening up the phone lines. I want to talk to the undecided voter and see why they're not voting or why they haven't figured out who they are voting for.
Starting point is 01:02:00 We have Kelly. Kelly, good morning. Good morning. Now, you're an undecided voter still? Yes. Well, okay. So I know who I'm voting for in the presidential election, but I live in Jersey. And I don't know who we're voting for in New Jersey.
Starting point is 01:02:14 Isn't this Murphy's last year? Yes. Yes, it is. Murphy's not on the ballot this year. Murphy's not on the ballot. That's what she means is Murphy's not running again. Oh, okay, okay. Yeah, so like who are we voting for? Because everybody has been covering the presidential election,
Starting point is 01:02:29 and it's like, I don't even know who we're voting for in Jersey. No, that Senate race is in New Jersey. Yeah, she says she knows, but she doesn't know who she's voting for. She hasn't seen any footage or no information on them. Oh, got you, got you, got you, got you, got you, got you. I'm voting Andy Kim for Senate. There's a Senate seat opening in Jersey.
Starting point is 01:02:49 I know that much. I'm probably just going to do all blue. I don't know. Listen, I mean, you can't go wrong with that. Also, I just wanted to say, I think you guys really need to leave Lauren alone. Thank you, sis. Sis is going to get there. She's going to get there.
Starting point is 01:03:04 Like, I was who you were a couple years ago. You guys really need to leave Lauren alone. Thank you, sis. Because sis going to get there. She going to get there. Like, I was who you were a couple years ago. Oh, you mean just out of my body? She's not talking about none of that. You talking about her wig? As far as what? Having a bad wig? As far as being single? And I know you're not over here talking, Mr. Anita 10.
Starting point is 01:03:18 It's a lot going on. What you mean? When you say get there, you talking about bad wigs, being single? What you mean? I mean with these men, okay? Got you. Got you. Okay.
Starting point is 01:03:28 Dang, when the hairline fade, the love do too, Charlotte. You need to relax. Yes. Go ahead, sis. Go ahead, sis. Go off, sis. Go off. I just want you to be specific.
Starting point is 01:03:36 I was there. I'm married. I got a kid. Hey. You know. So you're going to get there. Don't worry about it. The right men Will come along
Starting point is 01:03:45 Those other dudes They're They're whack Thank you baby I appreciate it My goodness You talking about You want consistency
Starting point is 01:03:51 We wanted that From your hairline But we ain't get it So Woo Hello who's this Consistently Yeah
Starting point is 01:03:56 Lance What's up brother You still an undecided voter bro Yeah man I'm undecided I don't even know If I'm gonna really vote for him. Why, what's up?
Starting point is 01:04:06 I think it's all scripted. The reason why I think it's scripted is because I was a part of one of the biggest presidential blunders in U.S. history. So I was one of the young voters of 2002 that they was going after. I was 18. It was when Gore was supposed to be Bush after Clinton. Gore won popular votes. Gore won the popular votes. Bush won the electoral. Gore won the electoral in Florida,
Starting point is 01:04:31 turned the red state to a blue state, and then they lost the whole state of Florida votes like it was a set of car keys or remote control. Well, hold on, my brother. You know that election was completely stolen. We're not even going to sit here and play around with that one. The Supreme Court stopped the actual count of the votes, and the state that flipped was literally ran by George W. Bush's brother,
Starting point is 01:04:55 Jed Bush, at the time. I'm a breadwinner. That's my whole point of why I think it's scripted. Yeah, I'm from Florida. So I was here. Al Gore came to my school, that Reigns High School. He was on this whole Kiss the Black Baby, Kiss the Black Children run. So we had a pep rally for him.
Starting point is 01:05:10 Like, I was invested. I voted for Gore. And like I said, like how you just said. It was stolen. Wasn't scripted. It was stolen. I don't think they didn't expect Al Gore to win. That's why Al Gore won the popular vote.
Starting point is 01:05:24 But I know the electoral vote is what wins the election. And when you go to the electoral in Florida, like you said, they stopped. They stopped the county of Florida. They didn't think it was going to win. By the way, that's what I'm scared of this time. And I did a piece about this on The Daily Show a month ago. They're going to go out of their way
Starting point is 01:05:43 to try to steal the election this year that's why trump keeps saying democrats are gonna steal it because he's projecting well true they tried to they tried to steal it last time that was what the attempt to cool this country was sure did well we got a moral of the story brother i do man and i want the moral of the story to come from president barack obama because president barack obama said something a couple of weeks ago and you, everybody kind of didn't pay any attention because of the comments he made about black men. But I want you all to hear this part of what President Obama said in Pennsylvania.
Starting point is 01:06:11 Play it, Red. This is a big, complicated country, and the problems are hard. And they've been around a long time. And so sometimes the other excuse we feel is, we hear when we're talking to folks, is, well, it ain't going to make no difference. Well, no, you're right that we're not eliminating poverty. We're not going to get rid of all problems with race. We're not going to prevent every bad thing from happening in this country. Whoever we elect elect president that's not how things work the question is do we have somebody there who sees us who cares about us who will work on
Starting point is 01:06:51 our behalf and can make things a little bit better all right the reason why i love what president obama said is because it's a level of empathy and understanding to what voters are feeling. And it's true. You know what I'm saying? Like a lot of people feel like politicians not going to do anything for them. And what President Obama said is true. We're not going to eliminate poverty. We're not going to get rid of all problems with race. We're not going to prevent every bad thing from happening in this country.
Starting point is 01:07:18 But whoever you elect as president, you know, you have to elect somebody that sees you, who cares about you who will work on your your behalf and can make things a little bit better that's what we're voting for and that's that's real all right now when we come back we got just with the mess with lauren la rosa what we talking about we do we are actually i mean still voting an election conversation michael jordan there was like this thing that went viral saying he was endorsing trump his team came out to shut all that down. So we won't get into that. All right, we'll get into that next.
Starting point is 01:07:48 It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's election day. What? No, he said I never heard that. White girl wasted off a brown liquor, right? Charlotte, let me hear something else. No, I'm not, bro. Like, could you stop for once? I didn't hear nothing. No brown
Starting point is 01:08:04 eye. Wait, what? I never heard that before. Like, could you stop for once? I didn't hear nothing say no brown eye. Wait, what? I never heard that before. Let me look that up. Why did that catch your attention? I just want to know. See? See? Well, good morning, everybody.
Starting point is 01:08:13 Selection Day. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to Jess with the mess with La La Rosa. The news is real. What is the story? Jessica Robin Moore. Jess don't do no lying. Don't do no lying.
Starting point is 01:08:22 She don't spare nobody. Worldwide Jess. Worldwide mess. So there was this viral post on Twitter that surfaced right after LeBron endorsed Kamala Harris. The tweet was supposed to be confirming that Michael Jordan was announcing that he was going to be endorsing Trump. But in this one, super viral, had like over a million views. Now this and it was on Twitter. So it circulated. There were notes, you know, they do the community notes on X where they'll tell you like, oh, this is not real, whatever, whatever. However, because there were some outlets and some people still picking it up michael jordan's team has now given a statement to a rep for michael jordan has given a statement for to the independent
Starting point is 01:09:12 saying that they strenuously deny that the basketball icon has endorsed either candidate leading up to this week's election there is absolutely no truth to the claim that michael jordan has made an endorsement in the presidential election. How do you feel about celebrities as big as like a Michael Jordan or whoever deciding to not endorse anybody whatsoever in this election? It don't bother me. Now, me personally, I would say they can decide who they want to do or what they want to do with their vote or how they want to use their influence. I don't have a problem with it. There's 148 million people, I think, voted in the last election i don't know i don't know who those people vote for till after the fact and i don't even know who those people are who voted i just know it's a number
Starting point is 01:09:52 so i could care less i could care less whether they endorse or not i actually think people stop needing to look at celebrities to see who they're voting for to decide who they're voting for so i i don't care why you think that um i don't think a celebrity could move somebody i think people need to do their own homework i think people need to do their own research gotcha i agree with you envy that people should do their own resource research and people should get their own information but uh i i do think celebrities move forward i go back and forth like sometimes i feel like i ain't nobody voting because of no celebrity but that that'd be a lie celebrities do have influence so some people are voting based off who their favorite
Starting point is 01:10:27 celebrity is voting for because i did see a lot of people that uh love taylor swift when she you know said that she was endorsing kamala harris i've seen a lot of people say well i still i'm voting for this but i'm still a taylor swift fan so yeah i don't know how much influence it really does have i don't know i don't know either i just asked that because there's always that back and forth about it and i know that this election is like such a, you know, it's very important. And I thought it was kind of like kind of timely and kind of planted that the minute LeBron came out and endorsed Kamala very strong. He posted, you know, like, are y'all crazy? Like, what else would I be doing but voting for her?
Starting point is 01:10:59 And then he posted a video of like, like a mashup of like Trump's lies. This tweet surfaced. And I'm like, hmm, why would it be important to combat LeBron unless people think celebrities are influential in this? I don't think MJ has ever said who he was voting for. Never. But you know how powerful that would be, in my opinion,
Starting point is 01:11:14 if he did right now for whoever, whatever side. I mean, if they want to endorse, great. If they don't, it don't bother me either way. Got you. Well, in other news, Jason Kelsey, he had to issue a public apology via ESPN on Monday night. So he opened up Monday night countdown issuing an apology because he got into it with a student or a person. I don't know if this person was a student at Penn State, but a person who's a fan at Penn State when this fan ran up on him and called his brother a gay
Starting point is 01:11:47 slur because of the fact that his brother is dating um Taylor Swift thank you let's take a listen to the original audio of when the incident went down Kelsey hey Kelsey Kelsey Kelsey can I get a fist bump Kelsey can I get a fist bump? Kelsey, can I get a fist bump? Give me my phone, Kelsey. Give me my phone. Give me my phone. Give me my phone. Give me my phone.
Starting point is 01:12:13 Get the f*** out of here. Now, in that video, I mean, we had to bleep it, of course. But the interaction is, like, he says to Jason Kelsey, your brother is the F-bomb, the gay slur, because he's dating. How do you feel because he is that? Because he's dating Taylor Swift. And then Jason Kelsey throws that same word back at him three times in that video. So on Monday night, he issued this apology.
Starting point is 01:12:38 Let's take a listen. You know, listen, I think everybody's seen on social media everything that took place this week. I'm not happy with anything that took place. I'm not proud of it. And, you know, in a heated moment, I chose to greet hate with hate. And I just don't think that that's a productive thing. I don't think that, you know, it leads to discourse and it's the right way to go about things. In that moment, I fell down to a level that I shouldn't have.
Starting point is 01:13:04 So I think the bottom line is I try to treat people with common decency and respect, and I'm going to keep doing that moving forward, even though I fell short this week. Yeah, I think we got a game to focus on, a matchup. I don't think this is the platform to necessarily go into more detail. So,
Starting point is 01:13:19 get ready for this Chiefs game. Go ahead. What a world we live in when men are calling other men gay for dating women is this is this is this what happens is this what happens when you have 72 genders i'm gay now i'm dating a woman because like what's up man we don't know what identifies as maybe that's the reason i don't know what she identifies as a cat lady remember she posted her photo she's a cat lady but he's right, but the man is dating a woman. I'm dating a woman and you call me a gay slur?
Starting point is 01:13:48 Y'all talking about that. Is this what happens when you have 72 genders? Are we here now? Is gay to date women now? 72 genders remind me of that song. The type of girl that make it you, I love my bubble gum. I don't know why I thought about flavors of bubble gum. No, okay, whatever.
Starting point is 01:14:01 Maybe normal gay guys date women nowadays. Maybe that's what this is. Don't confuse me what jd vance uh said that him and trump are gonna get the normal gay guy vote so maybe if you're a normal gay guy you date women it's too much that could be it wait the norm envy that would be a bisexual man i don't know that's one of the 72 72 flavors of that bootylicious you'll stop it made you think of that song too. It looked at me like I was crazy. The time Hannah make it you was up above. As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself and leaning into her dreams.
Starting point is 01:14:47 I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace.
Starting point is 01:15:15 Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best. And you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before.

Well, that was just... By the way, I thought it was crazy that he was able to get on ESPN and apologize. I'm not even going to hold y'all. I was like, oh, what?
Starting point is 01:20:11 They would have canceled anybody else. They like him. I think Jason handled it appropriately. Now, you know, in the heat of the moment, you know, he was matching energies. But as far as snatching dude's phone and slamming it to the ground, I don't have a problem with that because it's gonna cost him a couple dollars probably there's an investigation too that they opened the pa but that probably will close because they're gonna see everything
Starting point is 01:20:33 stop treating public figures like they're not human like that man is just walking trying to get the way he's trying to get to and you got a phone in his face calling his brother a gay slur he ain't no buddhist monk he ain't no zen master like he ain't no stoic like he posted not react like get out that man face why are you playing with that man like that you're lucky he ain't slapped out you but the sad thing is people do that for the reaction right they do that for the reaction they do that to get hit they do that so they can sue they do that for the quote-unquote clicks people think it's cool so they get their teeth knocked out. And that's what needs to happen. That's honestly sometimes what needs to happen.
Starting point is 01:21:07 Sometimes an example needs to be made out of somebody so crazy that the next person in someplace else is thinking, nah, don't do that. Because remember what happened when that dude ran up on Jason Kelsey? He got his teeth knocked down his throat. Stop playing with people.
Starting point is 01:21:21 Why do we think it's okay to play with people in that way? All right. Well, that is just with the mess. Now, when we come back, we usually do donkey here. Yes, but since this election day, a couple of weeks ago, we had a We The People town hall with the Vice President Kamala Harris. I got to sit down with her and chop it up.
Starting point is 01:21:39 And I think today is a good day to replay that conversation, you know, just in case you're headed to the polls and you're undecided, whatever the hell that means. All right. And we're going to get that on next. Don't go anywhere. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Starting point is 01:21:52 The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Alon LaRosa filling in for Jess. Now, a couple of weeks ago, Charlemagne had a town hall meeting in Detroit
Starting point is 01:22:08 with Kamala Harris. He got a chance to ask a bunch of questions and people in the building did as well. Yeah, salute to my guy Zeke from New Era. Salute to ET. Salute to Ice Web Bezo. Salute to Pastor Kinlock. They was all in the building. Also salute to everybody who
Starting point is 01:22:24 participated through our talkback feature that we have on iHeartRadio. You can go to iHeartRadio podcast, go to the Breakfast Club page, click the microphone, and that's how you can send your questions. You can do that all the time, by the way. People really did it during the town hall. And yeah, man, we sat there and kicked it for an hour and salute to, I don't even know how you say this, but, you know, this conversation has, like, well over 40 billion social impressions. I don't know what none of that means, but the digital people will be happy about it. The people tapped in. The people tapped in.
Starting point is 01:22:53 All right, well, let's jump right back into it. Today is election day. It's the Breakfast Club. Peace to the planet. Charlemagne the God here with Madam Vice President Kamala Harris. How are you? Because you did just walk in. You were kind of late.
Starting point is 01:23:05 I'm very well. Well, I try to be on time. Apparently, I'm 40 seconds late. You're right. Well, you are black. Uh-huh. Okay. Now, you know, one thing they've been saying, a lot of your press hits get criticized.
Starting point is 01:23:17 You know, folks say you come off as very scripted. They say you like to stick to your talking points. And some media says you have. That would be called discipline. Oh, okay. Speak to that. Okay, but go on. say you like to stick to your talking points and some media says you have that would be called discipline oh okay okay we're going no okay some people say you have an inability to fearlessly say who you are and what you believe i know that's not true but what do you say to people who say you you stay on the talking points i would say you're welcome the reality is that there are certain things that must be repeated to ensure that i have everyone know what I stand for and the issues that I think are at stake in this election.
Starting point is 01:23:47 And so it requires repetition. You know, some people say that until someone has heard the same thing at least three times, it just doesn't stay with you. So repetition is important. And for that reason, yes. valleys. I say the same thing when I go to Detroit, as I do in Philly, as I do wherever I am, to make sure that people hear and receive what I think are some of the most critical issues that are at stake in this election. There has to be a high level of anxiety, too, when you have these conversations, though, because you are running for president. I mean, you know what? There is certainly a lot of I feel the weight of the moment and my role. I feel an extraordinary weight of responsibility
Starting point is 01:24:28 right now to do everything I can. I'm telling you, Charlamagne, when I go to bed at night, I almost every night, in addition to my prayers, will ask, have I done everything I could do today? This is a margin of error race. It's tight. I'm going in, but it's tight. And, you know, what is at stake is truly profound and almost in historics, many would say. And it's about, you know, some people would say this lofty notion of supporting and preserving our democracy. But it is about real issues that affect people every day, like whether we're going to maintain a $35 cap on insulin for our seniors, whether we're going to continue to allow Medicare to negotiate drug prices to bring them down, whether we are going to have, as my opponent would have,
Starting point is 01:25:19 a formalized stop and frisk policy for which he has said if a police department does not do it they should be defunded or not there is so much at stake whether america is going to stand on its principles around the importance of sovereignty and territorial integrity and stand with our allies around the world or whether we're going to admire dictators and send during the height of covid in the pandemic covid test that nobody could get to the president of Russia for his personal use when black people were dying every day by the hundreds during that time. Yeah, I feel like that one has gone over people's heads,
Starting point is 01:25:56 the fact that he was sending COVID tests to Putin. I mean, you know, I invite, I don't, your listeners, the people we know, the number of people who lost their grandparents and parents. Remember what that was like during the height of COVID? And a lot of it, people were scrambling for the resources and needed tests. And Donald Trump during that time secretly sent COVID tests to the president of Russia, who, by the the way do not forget in the 2016 election because i was a member of the senate intelligence committee when we when we investigated it targeted black voters
Starting point is 01:26:32 in 2016 with mis and disinformation to discourage black people from voting in that election and and this is just another of the very many examples of who Donald Trump really is and the danger he presents to real people. Sending COVID tests to Russia, that doesn't sound very America first at all. But it's not just you versus Trump, it's you versus misinformation. Yes, that's true. And one of the biggest pieces of misinformation, one of the biggest allegations against you is that you targeted and locked up thousands of black men in San Francisco for weed. Some say you did it to boost your career. Some say you did it out of pure hate for black men. Please tell us the facts. What's the facts of that situation?
Starting point is 01:27:10 It's just simply not true. And what public defenders who are around those days will tell you, I was the most progressive prosecutor in California on marijuana cases and would not send people to jail for simple possession of weed. And as vice president, have been a champion for bringing marijuana down on the schedule. So instead of it being ranked up there with heroin, we bring it down. And my pledge is as president, I will work on decriminalizing it because I know exactly how those laws have been used to disproportionately impact certain populations and specifically black men. OK, let's go to the talkback feature. My question for Kamala is why are we and I say we because my tax dollars is sending the money.
Starting point is 01:27:58 Why are we sending money to other countries when we definitely need it in our own country, for homeless, housing, resources, for whatever. That is my determining factor if I vote for Kamala or not. That's one of the reasons the America First rhetoric resonates, because nobody in America would complain about where money was going if American citizens' everyday needs were being met. So what do you say to that? We can do it all, and we do.
Starting point is 01:28:25 First of all, I maintain very strongly America should never pull ourselves away from our responsibility as a world leader. That is in the best interest of our national security and each one of us as Americans and our standing in the world. That being said, we also have an obligation to American citizens, obviously, and people who are here to meet their everyday needs and challenges, which is why, for example, we have done the work in the last four years of bringing down the cost of prescription medication, whether it be $35 a month for seniors for insulin or $2,000 a year cap on prescription medication medication what we have done that has been about putting 17 billion dollars in our hbcus i am proud to be the first hbcu vice president
Starting point is 01:29:11 united states i intend to be the first hbcu president of the united states those resources are about sending them to centers of academic excellence that i know them to be the work that i continue to do is about increasing access to capital for our small businesses. It is about increasing the opportunity for home ownership, knowing that black people are 40% less likely to be homeowners in America. We have a history of legal and procedural obstacles to that home ownership, starting with the fact nobody got 40 acres and a mule, to redlining, to issues that this Detroit area and people around the country know to be real. So part of my plan is that we're going to give people a $25,000 down payment assistance to get their foot in the door to buy a home for first-time homebuyers.
Starting point is 01:29:58 The work that I'm going to do to increase housing supply in America, knowing that that's one of the reasons that rents and housing prices are jacked up, and to work with the private sector, cut through the red tape, and work to build more housing, 3 million before the end of my first term. And I give these examples, and there are many more which I will offer. So, for example, the work that I will do to extend the child tax credit to $6,000 for young families during the first year of their child's life. Because as you and I both know, our families all have a natural desire to parent their children well, but not always the resources.
Starting point is 01:30:33 So by expanding the child tax credit to the first year of child's life to $6,000, that gives that young family the ability to buy a car seat or a crib or clothes, the things that are so important during that critical phase of that child's development so that they can get on the road and actually have a chance at succeeding. All right, when we come back, we will be playing more from my audio town hall with the Vice President Kamala Harris that we did live from Detroit. It's The Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 01:31:03 Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Alari, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Dazzle. Charlamagne, what's up? Madam Vice President. How you doing? How you doing today? As we say in Detroit, what up, though? So yesterday I read that there is a new opportunity agenda,
Starting point is 01:31:35 a plan for black men which includes a proposal of forgivable loans up to $20,000 for one million black entrepreneurs. What would you say to the people that would consider the timing of that of this proposal as?
Starting point is 01:31:48 political timing and how would you speak to the sentiment that support for black men is only sought out during election cycles and feels that building trust requires is consistent engagement and genuine investment into the community outside of election periods and political benefits for politicians and may view that some people in the Democrat Party use black Americans to play identity politics. So first of all, thank you for your question. Thank you for being here. You can look at all my work to know that this what I'm talking about right now is not new and is not for the sake of winning this election. This is about a long standing commitment, including the work that I've done as vice president and before when I was senator and before that.
Starting point is 01:32:28 In fact, a lot of what I'm doing that is about my economic agenda and opportunity economy was born out of the work I did as vice president and before that as senator most recently to get access to capital for our entrepreneurs. The work that I did in the Senate was about getting a couple billion more dollars into our community banks. And then building on that, when I became vice
Starting point is 01:32:49 president, I created, it's called the Economic Opportunity Council, bringing in some of the biggest banks and technology companies to put more into the community banks. And I'm going to tell you one of the reasons why, because I have been aware for years, black entrepreneurs only get 1% of venture capital funding. Of all the venture capital funding, only 1 for years, black entrepreneurs only get 1% of venture capital funding. Of all the venture capital funding, only 1% goes to black entrepreneurs. We don't have the same rates of access to capital, be it through family or through connections,
Starting point is 01:33:16 which is why I've done the work of putting billions more dollars and working to put billions more dollars into community banks, which go directly to the community. My work around the $20,000 is building on that and understanding that, you know, I convened, for example, I said this earlier, a group of black entrepreneurs way before I was running for president in my official office at the White House to hear some of the obstacles
Starting point is 01:33:40 that they were facing. And one of them was what we need to do around getting folks the help to just be able to buy the equipment they need to run their business. And oftentimes, we find that when black entrepreneurs and black people apply for credit, they're denied at a higher rate than others. We have also seen and the data proves this, that all of those realities also tend to dissuade black folks and black entrepreneurs in particular from even applying for credit. My point is to work on every way that we can approach the issue to encourage people and to invest in their ambition. Because I know the ambition is there. I know the talent is there.
Starting point is 01:34:24 I know the innovation is there. And certainly the talent is there. I know the innovation is there. And certainly the hard work ethic. So this is not new work for me. You should speak to the American Rescue Plan, too, because, I mean, tens of millions of dollars. I know small businesses in North Carolina, small black businesses that got tens of millions of dollars because of that. I don't hear you speak to that. That's right. And that was from the first time, from when we first came in.
Starting point is 01:34:42 The American Rescue Plan, the work that we have done, the infrastructure bill. I mean, part of that is we made a decision that we were going to increase the number of federal contracts that go to historically underrepresented businesses. This was way before I was running for this years ago. So this is not new work. Let's go to the talkback feature. On several occasions recently, Don Lemon has stated that there's a large group of black men who believe Donald Trump sent them a personal check during COVID because his name was on it versus it coming from the government as a stimulus check. Can you provide some clarification on this? Speak to the stimulus. I'm so glad you raised that.
Starting point is 01:35:23 So here's what happened. A majority Democratic Congress fought to get those stimulus checks out, fought against resistance by the Trump administration. And won because we had a majority of Democrats in Congress. And that's why those checks went out. As we all know and grew up learning, Congress holds the purse strings. It was Congress that made that decision. And then Donald Trump, never being one to pass up an opportunity to give himself credit when no credit is due, put his name on those checks. And sadly, it resulted in people thinking Donald Trump was responsible for and directly responsible for putting money in their pocket, when in fact, it was a Democratic majority Congress that was responsible for those checks going out. Why is it hard for Democrats to message their wins on the economy?
Starting point is 01:36:06 Like since World War II, the economy has done better under a Democrat president. This is just a historical fact. For some reason, the narrative is that the economy does better under Republicans. Why do people believe that? And why don't Democrats push back on that narrative more? Well, you know, we I think that part of the issue is that Democrats probably talk about it more in terms of what we are doing for people rather than the economy. When, in fact, when you do for people, the economy grows. And you are absolutely right, Charlemagne.
Starting point is 01:36:41 You will look at the growth of the economy and compare it Democratic and Republican administrations. Democrats have accelerated economic growth. my plan to Donald Trump's plans for the economy. From Goldman Sachs to Moody's to 16 Nobel laureates and even most recently the Wall Street Journal. And in comparing our two plans, the net result is my plans will strengthen the economy, his plans will weaken the economy. Their reports come back and include the fact that Donald Trump's plans for the economy would accelerate inflation
Starting point is 01:37:24 and invite a recession by the middle of next year. My plans would strengthen the economy as a whole. You look at under what we've been doing, you look at the stock market as one of the strongest it's ever been. Wages have outpaced inflation. Inflation is going down to, I think it's now the most recent number is 2.4%. So, but those are, you know, nobody wants to hear
Starting point is 01:37:45 an econ 101 lecture, right? But the reality of it, to your point, is that under democratic rule, the economy gets strengthened, and certainly when you look at my plan for my presidency, it will strengthen the economy
Starting point is 01:38:01 and it will help people. And as per the conversation we've been having today perhaps the issue is that i'm gonna always think about it in the context of how am i helping working people how am i helping families how am i helping people in the middle class how am i helping people who have been without access having access that's how i talk about it but my plan is about strengthening the economy and i know know when you strengthen the economy, that's how you do it. You do it by investing in the middle class. Let me tell you the contrast.
Starting point is 01:38:30 Donald Trump thinks about the economy based on what he has done and will do. Cutting taxes for billionaires and the biggest corporations. That's how he thinks about the economy. He thinks about the economy, not about middle class people trying to not just get by but get ahead no he wants to to stop medicare from being able to negotiate drug prices down from the big pharmaceutical companies that was part two of our conversation with kamala harris charlamagne got an opportunity to sit down with her a couple of weeks ago it was a town hall meeting out in detroit and there was other people with you right charlotte yes we know we were uh incorporating the talkback feature

Starting point is 01:45:10 Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts. Donald Trump has promised to seek revenge. My question is, will our military be there to fight for our freedom after the election? Should Trump start another insurrection? You raise a profound point that is very much a part of this election cycle in terms of what the American people have a choice right now. So, January 6th, Donald Trump incited a violent mob to try and undo the will of the people and undo the results of a free and fair election. That violent mob attacked the United States Capitol. Over 140 law enforcement officers were injured.
Starting point is 01:46:01 Some of them were killed. And he has said, since then, that there will be a bloodbath after this election. He has, on your point about the military, referred to members of our military as suckers and losers, which is why, by the way, do see the number of military leaders who worked under his administration who are supporting me. And I will point out what everyone knows, which is that the people who worked the closest with Donald Trump when he was president, worked with him in the Oval Office, saw him at play in the Situation Room, his chief of staff, two secretaries of defense,
Starting point is 01:46:37 his national security advisor, and his former vice president, have all said he is dangerous and unfit to serve. Mark Milley, the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, most recently articulated exactly that point. And again, you know, here's Charlemagne. One of the things that I think is really ironic, but at play. Donald Trump, through his his way of trying to name call and demean and divide, tries to project as though those things are a sign of strength, when in fact the man is really quite weak.
Starting point is 01:47:14 He's weak. It's a sign of weakness that you want to please dictators and seek their flattery and favor. It's a sign of weakness that you would demean America's military and America's service members. It's a sign of weakness that you don't have the courage to stand up for the Constitution of the United States and the principles upon which it stands. This man is weak and he is unfit. We got a couple more questions.
Starting point is 01:47:42 I want to get my man Eric Thomas in here because we only got like a few more minutes. Eric, real quick. Only got a few minutes. Thank you, Madam Vice President man Eric Thomas in here because we only got like a few more minutes. Eric, real quick. Only got a few minutes. Thank you Madam Vice President for having me. Thank you Charlamagne Tha God. We know that there's been a lot of conversation about growing the middle class but black men have been taken out of the workforce for a myriad of systemic reasons from mass incorporation to racial bias, fear mongering.
Starting point is 01:48:00 We know that black men are not criminals. They are criminalized and that has taken black men out of the home, has taken wealth out of the home. And so because, especially in a city with such high poverty, I've heard a lot about middle class. But I would love to hear more about stair-stepping from poverty into middle class so they can take advantage of the opportunities and the policies you're talking about. That's right. And that's real. So, for example, the child tax credit.
Starting point is 01:48:31 When we did it, when I first became vice president, we cut black child poverty by half. And you know, when you deal with poverty for a child, that's about the whole family. Right. When you look at the work that we have done that has been about dealing with prescription medication. For our seniors, black people are 60% more likely to get diagnosed with diabetes. And when you look at what people are in terms of on the verge of bankruptcy, because of medical bills and medical debt, that's very real. So us capping the cost of something like insulin and prescription medication,
Starting point is 01:49:03 not to mention the work that I've been doing to ensure that medical debt does not get included on your credit score. Because medical debt comes about because of a medical emergency. Nobody invites it upon themselves. And back to the point about history and the reality of life. We also know the real disparities around access to meaningful health care, which are more likely to result in people facing chronic illness and in medical emergency. So my work has been and included working to get medical debt not be on your credit score, so that that thing you did not invite upon yourself would not be the reason that you can't get a lease on an apartment or anything else. We have to deal with child poverty, we have
Starting point is 01:49:43 to deal with poverty period. And have to deal with poverty, period. And there are many specific ways to do it, including dealing with getting resources into the community that alleviate the burdens that hold people down. So why is everybody sitting around acting like Donald Trump isn't going to plan to steal this election
Starting point is 01:49:59 if he loses? Like, you know Republican officials won't certify the results of the election. We know it's Donald Trump's Supreme Court. Why are people acting like this is going to be a free and fair election and he won't try to steal it well but those are two different points okay so it will be a free and fair election if we the american people stand up for that you know i i see it as this i think that their democracy has it's like two points of nature one there's a fact about a democracy that when it is intact the strength that it possesses in terms of the protection of people's individual rights
Starting point is 01:50:32 and liberties when a democracy is intact we protect your rights and your liberties strength democracy is also very fragile it will only be as strong as our willingness we the people to fight for it. And not as much as anything as what's at play in this election. Fight for our democracy. Flawed though it is, imperfect though it may be. Because there are very two real paths right now. The man has told you he intends to terminate the Constitution.
Starting point is 01:51:00 The man has told you all these things about his disregard and disrespect for your freedoms and liberty, including the right of a woman to make decisions about her own body. And he hand selected three members of the United States Supreme Court with the intention they would do exactly what they did. One out of three women in America lives in a state with the Trump abortion ban. You know, every state except Virginia in the South has an abortion ban. You know where the majority of black women live in the South? In those same states that have some of the highest rates of black maternal mortality. And they want to strut around talking about this is in the interest of women and children, and they've been silent on an issue like black maternal mortality. But I know that people are
Starting point is 01:51:38 aware and clear-eyed.

Let's get to Just With The Mess with Lauren LaRosa. So yesterday, Monday, Diddy celebrated his 55th birthday. But this year was a lot different. There was no Diddy parties. It was none of that.
Starting point is 01:52:54 So this is his first birthday behind bars. And his family, his kids, Justin, Quincy, Christian, Chance, Baby Love, and the twins, posted a video of them singing Happy Birthday to them. Baby Love actually sung Happy Birthday to Diddy, and Diddy's on the phone. Let's take a listen. Happy birthday to Daddy. Happy birthday to Daddy. Yay!
Starting point is 01:53:22 I love y'all. I love y'all. I love y'all so much. We love you too. Can't wait to see y'all. Can't wait to see y'all. And I just want to say I'm proud of y'all. I'm proud of y'all, especially the girls. I mean, all of y'all.
Starting point is 01:53:33 But just for being strong. Thank y'all for being strong. And thank y'all for being by my side and supporting me. I love y'all. I got the best family in the world. My birthday, I'm happy. Thank y'all for giving me this call. Thank you very much.
Starting point is 01:53:46 I love y'all. Love you, too. Can't wait to see you in a couple of days. I love you, Daddy. I love you, too, baby. Man. I will note, too, that's the first time that we've been able to hear Diddy
Starting point is 01:53:59 from behind bars as well. Now, there's still a lot happening in the court. Can I say one thing real quick, Lauren? Go ahead, say it. I just would like to say, and this is just a broad statement, okay, if you have kids, kids should be enough for humans
Starting point is 01:54:15 to make better choices. Always remember, destiny is not a matter of chance, it's a matter of choice. If you have those beautiful babies at home to take care of, that should be enough to always make the
Starting point is 01:54:25 right choice yeah because listening to that was tough oh my god baby yeah but um so they're still i mean it's crazy too because there's still more happening in court like i mean everything is still active even though we're not hearing about it as much anymore and the people may be fatigued like we talked about prior to so recently there was a guy who is now a grand jury witness his name is courtney burgess so this guy did an interview and in the interview he claimed that he had these manuscripts from kim porter going back to the whole book non-book conversation and that he had some sex tapes so he was caught outside of the court talking about it by tmz let's take a listen i know you
Starting point is 01:54:58 can't mention celebrities per se you did mention some in the in the interview so just to clarify you can back that up with actual factual footage. We have, yeah, it's the things that we have, but we got to go to the other courthouse. So I don't know if that's any more questions, but we got another hearing. Are you nervous or do you feel? I ain't that nervous. The only thing that's fair to me is God. Who is that now?
Starting point is 01:55:21 So that's a guy named Courtney Burgess. Now, this guy claims that he wasn't close friends with puff but like they knew each other in passing because he worked in the industry and that he was an associate of kim porters um so he's claiming that he received her a manuscript that she wrote and on a flash drive and that also he was handed over some sex tapes and he claimed that on these tapes that there are allegedly uh some celebrities and different people on them now he was coming out of court here in new york last week when he was caught on this video talking to the press and what he said was also too was that he handed everything over the tapes and the manuscripts and all that kim porter's best
Starting point is 01:55:57 friend of 30 years her name is lawanda lane she's actually the caregiver of the twins right now she came out this week and said we don't even know this man we don't know this man and if there were manuscripts we would have them and would have seen them first because she says herself she was responsible for packing up all of kim's belongings when she passed away and distributing stuff to the family who wanted to take things and there was no manuscript so they're very confused about who this person is and i will say too when this uh video came out last week i received a just a statement from a source that, you know, just gave me a heads up that Diddy's team was actually going back to the court because of this video and saying, hey, we did the whole gag order thing between the attorneys. But can you please put something in place where these witnesses just can't go talk to the media and stir up these conversations and make things seem like they're real just because people hear a witness say i've handed that over to the feds right so it'll be
Starting point is 01:56:49 left up to the feds to determine what's real what's not when it comes to these tapes that they're saying that allegedly have and the manuscripts and all that stuff but i just think it's so insane that all of this is happening and you got you know you heard that baby girl on that you know singing happy birthday to her dad it's like why would you even put yourself in a position like this? All those babies out there. That's what I'm saying. Destiny's not a matter of chance.
Starting point is 01:57:09 It's a matter of choice. When you got them beautiful babies at the house, you just got to make better choices. That goes to every human hearing the sound of my voice right now. Well, that was just with the mess. All right. Now, when we come back,

Y'all already know who I'm voting for. I'm voting for the vice president, Kamala Harris. I'm not telling you who to vote for. I'm just telling you who I'm voting for.
Starting point is 01:58:44 And I just want to let y'all know, man, if you like to to complain like I like to complain, then you have to go out there and vote, because if you don't vote, you really don't have a say in what goes on in this country. And let's be clear. Voting is just the beginning. Once you vote, you have to continue to push the people you voted for. You know, if they win, you can't be afraid to criticize and challenge folks to make them keep their promises. All that talk on social media, YouTube, that's cheap. Okay, I repeat, talk is cheap, voting is free. Take it to the polls. Go do your civic duty today, y'all. See you tomorrow.
