Not our genres. And that's why it made me think about the Super Bowl. For the last I don't know how many years, there was a lot of those artists performing at the Super Bowl. Yeah, no idea. And things have changed. But there was a lot of artists that I had no idea who they were. My daughter was watching with me.

It wasn't like, because there was like not too much, besides like a little Tyler moment, there wasn't too much controversial stuff happening. But it was the looks. Like Megan paid homage to Britney Spears, to Beyonce. You know, she's just fun. So she just, she looked amazing. Tyler, Tyler's faces were all over. Because every time somebody was performing,

This guy's kinky already. Law and the Rose are filling in for Jess. And let's get into some front page Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. This guy's kinky already. Long and Rosa Fillion for Jess. And let's get into front page news. Good morning, Morgan. Good morning. I'm turned up with my age. Okay. All right.

So would you guys like to see another debate between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris? No. No. I mean, I would like to see one for entertainment purposes. But I mean, you know, this isn't about entertainment. This is about two people running for the president of the United States of America. So for that matter, no, it's going to be more of the same.

Yep. All right. Well, a rematch between the two 2024 presidential candidates is up in the air following Tuesday's debate. The Harris campaign called for another one. But as of late Wednesday, Trump is still undecided. Let's hear trump's comments on a debate rematch we won the debate according to every poll every single poll i think that uh are we going to do a rematch i just don't know and no we're looking at it but

you know when you win you don't really necessarily have to do it a second time so we'll see maga is just as delusional about trump after this debate as democrats were about biden after the biden trump debate you remember there was still some democrats holding on like you know there was hope but i know i'm gonna ride with biden i don't care if he's a corpse weekend at bernie's all of that stupid foolishness they were spewing that's how mag is now in regards to trump trump he don't got it bro there's nothing he can do against the Vice President in a debate. Nothing.

Actually, to debunk what Trump said, nearly every poll indicated that P.P. Harris won the debate. Trump says a fighter who loses always immediately asks for a rematch as a jab to the Harris campaign. So there are several debates that are on the table being offered by

NBC, Fox Fox and others. Meanwhile, viewership numbers show ratings soared for the first debate between Harris and Trump. Nielsen reports that more than 57 million people watch the showdown across the four major networks and four cable news channels. There is nearly 10 million more than the initial tally for the june debate between trump and biden while surpassing that number the final total for the harris trump debate is unlikely to break records um the most watched debate however was that between trump and clinton so trump is a is he like you said entertainment purposes um hillary trump debate happened in 2016 which drew 84 million viewers and then let's be clear the vp's's team is asking for a rematch because if you're not doing press, why not debate

in front of the American people? Why not debate against your opponent so they can look clearly and see this is a clear contrast. I know who I'm going to vote for. And people got to see who she was, especially for people that don't know who she is, especially Trump supporters. They got to see who she was.

Like you said, how many people? 59 million people? And I can't believe there's still any undecideds out there by the way i really can't believe that um so meanwhile former president trump and his running mate uh ohio senator jd vance they continue to push the questionable claims about haitian immigrants eating dogs they're eating the dogs uh senator vance appears to double down on the claims. Let's hear more from Vance on that. No one has spread false claims. What they've said is that a small migrant community, 20,000, so it's big for the city of Springfield, it's small compared to all nations in the United States of America, but that small migrant community has caused a lot of problems. Again, the city of Springfield spokesperson Karen Graves says local leaders have got no credible reports.

There are no specific claims that pets are being harmed, injured, abused or even eaten. Now, there is a report out there about a woman from Ohio who ate a cat. She's not Haitian and she's from Canton. So let's go ahead. What is she, a lesbian? Plenty of lesbians eat cats. That's the whole point. Stop.

All right. So also yesterday was the 9-11. And President Biden, former President Trump, Vice President Harris, and J.D. Vance, Senator Vance, they gathered in solidarity at the World Trade Center to remember the victims. Now, Senator Vance, he talked about what that ceremony was like. Let's hear more from him. I'd never been there myself. And, of course, an incredibly tragic day in our country's history, a sad day, but also a really beautiful ceremony remembering those that we had lost. And you just can't help but think magnified 3000 individual stories of lives lost, of families torn apart.

And it's also, you know, you talked about this earlier, but all these grandkids who never knew their grandfather never knew their grandmother it shouldn't take you know those type of situations to see them be bipartisan but you know i won't get too much into that if you did speaking of bipartisan um if you did see a picture of biden with a maga hat on it that was not it was not ai um so biden did pose with a red white and blue trump 20 y'all worship biden Trump. But y'all worship Biden. That's who y'all worship. Why would you do that at a time like this? That's what I said. Why would you do that at a time like this? He the family member that you got to keep on Facebook.

Yeah. We're showing solidarity. No, you can't. I'm going to tell you why. I'm going to tell you why. They should have smacked that hat off. Morgan, don't you come with no excuses for that, man. I'm not coming with an excuse.

I'm going to report what the report says. You know what I'm saying? I'm going to give you the substance. So with that being said, yeah, he was there to mark the 23rd anniversary in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, of the 9-11 attacks. So Deputy Press Secretary Andrew Bates posted the photo on X. He said the president spoke about bipartisan unity following the 9-11 attacks and uh he uh biden actually gave his hat the hat that he had on to a trump supporter and to show solidarity the trump supporter gave biden his hat so biden put the hat on no it's a big difference between uh wearing the hat of a trump said now if trump

would have wore a kamala hat and then biden wore a trump hat that would make more sense but just a random supporter? I didn't see that picture. I only saw the picture of Biden with his Trump hat on. It doesn't even matter. They're going to take the picture and what they're going to do, they're going to send it all over the place. Most of the people are not even going to hear what Morgan just said. Biden wore a magnet hat.

Please get Unk off Facebook. That's what that's giving. He don't need to upload the selfies with the eye. Keep him in the basement. Okay? Keep him locked away. Alright? He need to upload the selfies with the eye. And keep him in the basement. Okay? Oh, no. Keep him locked away. All right? No, he needs to just stay home. Can I say one other thing about the so-called Haitians eating the pets or whatever?

You know soon you're going to see a video of some group of people, you know, cooking a dog. It's not going to be real. But just know that you will see it floating around social media. And people are going to say, hey, this is what we were talking about. Of course. We're just in the age of propaganda. I hope you all know that. Right.

And most of the propaganda is created by people. Yeah, of course. You know that, right? Yeah. All right. Well, you know, House Speaker Mike Johnson, he's pulling a government funding bill after GOP support collapsed. A vote is scheduled for today, but over a dozen Republicans withdrew their support for the proposed legislation that's tiered to voter ID laws. A stopgap plan would keep the government funded into March.

If a funding plan is not passed, the government will shut down on October 1st. So that's going on. Let's make sure that we can continue to fund our government before we get into a November election. But yeah, that's your front page news for the 6 a.m. on the 7 a.m. We're going to talk about the Taylor Swift effect and whether or not that really makes a difference in this election. Oh, boy. All right. We'll get into that next. Everybody else, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, phone lines are wide open. Again, 800-585-1051.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Ray, Ray, Ray. Yo, Charlemagne. Givy, what up? Are we live? This is your time to get it off your chest.

We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? Hello, this is Kool from Columbus, Ohio. What's going on, D-Day?

What up, Kool? What's going on? Hey, nah, just to piggyback on what y'all said, that report about the Asians. I don't know about at Springfield, but we did just have this lady kill a cat and eat it in her driveway. Yeah, but wasn't she an American resident? Yeah, yeah, she was American. Yeah. No, I was just going off of what you were saying that they're going to try to circulate something. Surprised they ain't trying to circulate that story.

Trying to make it like it was Haitian. I did see the cat story, but that's why I knew about it. They said she was an American resident, but I'm telling you, because there's another picture walking around of a black man holding a duck. And they're trying to say that's one of the immigrants. Yo, there was Envy at your car show. There was a guy with a duck. There was a guy with a duck,

and the duck had a chain on. Yes. Did the duck have a chain on? No, he didn't have no chain on. Nah, this guy, his duck had a chain on. And it's funny, he wanted to take a picture with me. I was like, this don't feel right, bro. I took a picture of the duck.

I took a picture of the duck. I couldn't believe it. In a video. Yeah, he was a duck. Because who just has a duck? I don't know. He said it was his comfort animal. I have no idea. I don't know.

Good morning. Charlamagne, I got something for you, homie. Yes, sir. yes sir all right two weeks ago you said something about a trucker cutting you off that's right okay let's get this all right i'm gonna start right here all trucks aren't mac trucks mac is a manufacturer like ford chevrolet or nexus all trucks aren't mac trucks okay yeah different types different different types of trucks. Second of all, when I first started trucking, they didn't make automatic. People weeded themselves out of trucking because there was no automatic.

They were manual trucks. Oh, let's take shit, bro. And paper log books. You see what I'm saying? And now, over time, they done came out with these automatic trucks and these e-loads, which pretty much, in my opinion, removed the brain from a lot of these drivers out here now.

And they just put in bodies and seats, which I call new breeds, which I don't have no respect for new breeds. So is that why they drive them trucks like they cars? Exactly, because you have anybody out here driving a commercial-class vehicle now that's not commercial-class vehicle worthy. They don't have the skill, the timing, the precision. They just put anybody in them because it don't take a brain to drive them no more. You got a computer doing everything. You got a computer doing a law book.

You got a computer shipping gears. All they doing is just holding the steering wheel. That's why they call them steering wheel holders. Thank you, Ace. You be safe on them roads. So, Ace, are you telling me that I should continue to report unsafe truck drivers to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration? Because I have the hotline number. Every time you get a chance, make sure you get that MC number.

Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going.

This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace, have grace with yourself. 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.

She did a tribute to Britney Spears' Slave For You VMA performance. And she actually had the snake, but she got scared, so she made one of the producers come take the snake off of her. Glorilla, on arrival on the carpet, she paid homage to Left Eye with her outfit,

one of her VMA looks. And then Glorilla was performing. She did a medley of songs, but when she was performing Thank God It's Friday, her top was about to come off. Damn, it came off. She was holding it with her hands. She literally was holding it with her hands and still trying to dance so she was rocking out the performance

though one of her dancers came behind her i don't even know how she peeped what was happening because she was behind her and put the top like back together still dancing while she was doing it still was dancing and got right back and sing shout out to that dancer i hope glow takes her out to dinner today breakfast lunch something um elo kujay performed he was celebrating the 40 years of so he brought out public enemy um with him as well let's take a listen to elo bust the rhymes actually uh introduced him oh wow i didn't even see that part yep i was in and out with these balls so they clean it let me rip it up for colors in the back let me rip it up Busta Rhymes actually introduced him oh wow

the Vanguard Award Chappelle Rohn now Chappelle Rohn you know who that is Charlamagne Chappelle Rohn Rohn R-O-A-N

I didn't know who that was either but go ahead so she is a music artist she She was there. She took home a Best New Artist I believe it was Best New Artist Question, you know, it's crazy. I saw you don't you perform it on the timeline? I don't know what that was from I'll be amazed. Are you gonna ask me? What one of her songs are no I was gonna ask you is ask you, is she trans? Because I've seen, I guess, a drag queen or some introducer. She was like, that's my son or that's my daughter.

And I was confused and my daughter didn't notice. I was asking you. Um, I'm not. And then when she gave a speech, I don't know. I don't know. I was asking. What do you mean? Was it like, does he identify as a son?

I don't know. That's what I'm asking. Does he identify as a daughter? I don't know. That's why I'm asking. Is the person introducing him identify as a father or mother? I don't get what you're saying. Me asking. Identify the daughter. I don't know. That's why I'm asking. The person introducing him, identify the father or mother. I don't get what you're saying. Me neither.

I'm not for sure. But I do know. I do know that she that she has talked a lot about like like drag queens who inspire her look. I'm just curious. You know, but I don't know. She's not trans. One of the producers says she's not trans.

Oh, OK. Wow. Envy. That was just asking because what she said. That's what I was asking. Being inclusive goes wrong. No, you just want to ask a question

you can ask a question not really without offending somebody she should just shut up sometime well that's exactly what she said that is exactly

what Chappelle Rohn said because listen she already is one of them people she said she deals with anxiety she told her fans maybe a month ago

to stop being weird stop running up on her asking for pictures and all that stuff but on the carpet last night you know how the photographers when you're on the carpet, they're like yelling your name.

Look this way. Look this way. So she got at one of the photographers. Let's take a listen. You shut the f*** up. You can't have one without the other, though. You can't have the success of... What does she do?

She's a performer? Performer, singer. The fame comes with that. Nick just said it's Chapel Room. I thought it was Chappelle. I don't know. That was the first time we seen her last night, but she killed it.

Her performance was one of the dopest performances of the night. You could tell they put a lot into her set. It was kind of like medieval times that she was performing. So she had fire. She shot like a bow and arrow on fire, and it was pretty dope when she was performing i had no idea what the song was first time me hearing her yeah but her performance was pretty same too about the song my first time seeing her hearing her was when she went viral like crazy because she was yelling at her fans and i'm like who is this girl and why is she so upset you keep yelling at your fans you're

not gonna have too many of them you know what i mean and eventually you know that people will get tired of that well she told uh i think she was talking to entertainment tonight don't quote me on the outlet but um she told them that basically she did that because she deals with anxiety and oh it was entertainment tonight she said for someone who gets a lot of anxiety around people yelling at you the carpet is horrifying so i yelled back um She definitely yelled back last night. Why is she yelling back though? She's yelling them like, basically telling them,

don't yell at me like that. Shut up. Sit the F down, shut the F up. Well, don't walk the red carpet then. I'm a person who deals with anxiety as well. She gonna yell at you next. But my thing is, I'm a person that deals with anxiety as well.

So you know what you do when you deal with anxiety, you stay away from situations that you know are going to trigger said anxiety. Yeah. I think now her team may have learned that. Yeah, if you know the red carpet is going to trigger you don't go in the red carpet but she had her own carpet too so she was on a red carpet with her own carpet so they laid down her carpet as she went on there and took pictures i guess they were yelling as they were what i'm

just listening you talking about laying down carpet oh my god forget it well i apologize uh chapel wrong forgetting name wrong don't yell at me girl um she killed the last night she did um and then taylor swift uh taylor swift took home she actually last night won the most awards of the evening and she tied beyonce last night with the most wins by an artist with 30 wins um another i say when last night i don't know i don't i don't know she was nominated for a bunch of things i honestly i don't know that the show was like three hours long it was um flora flay this was a lit moment i did see this part you guys remember when um jordan chiles they took her medal back and he was like yo i got a clock for you i'm gonna send you the clock they did vmas was very smart about that they did that on the stage let's take a listen i know they tried

to take your medal away from you you know i'm saying but you know what i got you something that they can't take away from you. Wow. I don't even know what to say here. Yes, that was dope. So, good feel-good moment. Now, speaking of feeling good, I feel like, should we hold this up? Because I'm not going to miss out.

I think you should hold it. Yeah, let's go. I had no idea. Go ahead. No, I was going to say, I had no idea the VMAs were happening last night. I didn't see a lot of promo for it, and the scripts are on social media. But it sounded lively from what you just reported. A lot of performances.

It was a lot of performances. I mean, it's the VMAs, and it's a word show. They ain't got budget, so they did a great job. It was really amazing. The duet they did there, two stages, it was nothing cheap. It was not like they were lacking on money. They put a lot into all their budgets. Like, every stage stage when they went from left to right to left to right all the stages were done right the sets were amazing costumes were great so they didn't they didn't

lack when it came to money and i will go watch that uh that doji and katie perry performance because i wanted to watch it last night i didn't know it was from the vmas i just saw it come across the timeline i thought that you know kat was on tour or something when I say Dolce she looked amazing she looked good Katy Perry looked good too and it made me realize how many songs

Katy Perry has that I actually like like I would never just put on Katy Perry but last night I was like yo I like her first two albums

fire phenomenal but I tell you one other thing and she did all that last night on the first day of her period

according to what she said that why do y'all know this she said that people share too much information I swear but I tell you something that damn Dolce night on the first day of her period according to what she said that. Why do y'all know this? She said that. People share too much information, I swear. But I'll tell you something, that damn Dolce,

drop on the clues box for Dolce. I told y'all a few weeks ago here on the radio when I heard Alligator Bites Never Heal. Phenomenal, phenomenal project, man.

Dolce is dope. No, no, she's really dope. She's really dope. She steps outside the box with us. All right, now, when we come back let's get into

you wanna play now so Kendrick Lamar released a record yesterday yes he did we gonna talk about this too he released a record he took a couple shots according to

what I think I heard y'all can let me know what you guys think you heard once we get into it later alright we'll get it on now and then we got front page news and don't forget Powerhouse NYC

goes down to Prudential Center October 26 you can pre-sale. You can pre-get your tickets now at Ticketmaster.com. That happens at 10 a.m. So get your tickets. Let's get into Kendrick Lamar's The Breakfast Club. Watch the party die.

Wake up. Wake up. You're locked into The Breakfast Club. All right. That was Kendrick Lamar. It's like another minute long. If you want to hit a full version, I'll get it on in the mix. Yeah, salute to Kendrick, man.

He shouted out Lecrae on that record terrence martin but also my guy d1 so drop on the clues bonds for d1 out i don't think we got to that part because the song is very good he said he said he said he said lecrae twice though all right but yeah salute to kendrick if you want to hit a full version like i said i'm gonna get it on in the mix now let's get in some front page news what's up what's up so as you mentioned yesterday, Lauren, Taylor Swift is endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris for her presidential run and her running mate. Minnesota Governor Tim Walz says he's incredibly grateful. In a social media post just after Tuesday night's debate, Swift said she'll be voting for Harris because she fights for the rights and causes that she believes in. Reacting to the news, Walz encouraged encouraged the pop stars fans to follow her lead.

Let's hear those reactions from Minnesota Governor Tim Walsh. That's the type of courage we need in America to stand up. We've seen it out of those Republicans who were at the DNC. We've seen it out of women who would like to have their own personal lives kept personal but are forced to go out there because they nearly died because they can't get abortion services in a pregnancy. And now you have somebody like Taylor Swift coming out, making that very clear. This will be the opportunity, Swifties.

This will be the opportunity, Swifties. On Instagram, Swift went on to say that Harris is a steady-handed and gifted leader and that we could accomplish so much more in this country if we were led by calm and not chaos. Now Swift appears holding a cat in the post and signed it. Taylor Swift, childless cat lady. You know, it's funny how with celebrity endorsements, if the celebrity that's powerful,

like a Taylor Swift, endorses who you want them to endorse. Celebrity endorsements are great, but if the celebrity endorses somebody you don't want them to endorse, celebrities need to stay out of politics. Celebrities don't need to be involved in politics. Well, it seems like she was going to say something last night,

but she just had said Kelsey, and the crowd was cheering, but she was just like, well, you know, the election's coming up. You need to vote, and then they kind of just redlined it. But she was about to get into it last night, but they cut her off beforehand. Well, you know, Trump doesn't like it, so he spoke with Fox News,

and he says he's never been a Swift fan anyway. Let's hear Trump's comments on the endorsement. She's a very liberal person. She seems to always endorse a Democrat and she'll probably pay a price for it at the in the marketplace. Now, those comments obviously came before the VMA. So I'm not sure where she's supposed to pay for it in the marketplace. But, you know, Trump would Trump would love it if she had endorsed him. I mean, he wanted to endorse so much marketplace. But, you know, Trump would love it if she had endorsed him. I mean, he wanted to endorse him so much that they did, you know, fake AI endorsements. And it was interesting to hear J.D. Vance say that, you know,

nobody wants to hear from an out-of-touch billionaire celebrity when Donald Trump is an out-of-touch billionaire celebrity. This comes at the same time that the Florida Democratic Party is organizing in full force for the Swift Heiress tour in Miami. Like this is full on strategy as early voting begins in October. So retired University of South Florida political scientist Dr. Susan McManus, she says Swift's post on social media reaches younger voters, especially in Florida. Let's hear more from her. It's not Hollywood, but it's music stars that are really bringing them in.

And a lot of their lyrics and so forth are very political, as you know. Older people don't get why and how this is changing. One thing that we know about Democrats in some of these key states, and including Florida, is that they absolutely have to bring in the younger voters to win. But let's focus on something else that's very important and also very important in Florida, the Taylor Swift endorsement. But do I think this is the end of the story? Absolutely not. Look at how many twists and turns we've already had, and you can't predict what will happen next week, let alone tomorrow, practically. So Taylor Swift is scheduled to perform in Miami on October 18th, 19th, and the 20th.

And early voting happens in Miami-Dade County on October 21st. So that's pretty cool how they're, you know, strategizing in that regard. Meanwhile, University of Texas San Antonio political science professor John Taylor, he says that celebrity endorsements are as old as elections themselves. And he believes they don't make much of a difference. Let's hear more from him. Taylor Swift endorsed Bill Bredesen in 2018 for U.S. Senate. He lost. Oprah's endorsement of Obama in 2008. Was she the one that ultimately swayed people to vote for Obama and get him the Democratic nomination? Probably not. You ask the question of the average voter, what's affecting your vote the most?

The economy. It's about reproductive choice, about gas prices. It's not necessarily about what does Taylor Swift think? I believe he's probably right. I think people make their own decisions based off their needs and their interests. One thing I do like that Taylor did, she didn't tell people to vote for Kamala Harris. She just told people to vote and told people who she's voting for. That's what I think we all should do. I'm not telling you who to vote for Kamala Harris. She just told people to vote and told people who she's voting for. That's what I think we all should do. I'm not telling you who to vote for. I want you to go out there and do your own research and make your own decision.

I told you who I'm supporting, but not because I want you to support them, just because I vote my interest and Kamala Harris speaks to my interest. But as a young 18-year-old that might not deal with the same things that a lot of adults are dealing with and they love Taylor Swift,

they follow Taylor Swift, they follow Taylor Swift, they go to her concerts, they like to see what she's eating all in her life. If somebody that says they're voting for somebody, I think a lot of those people will be impressionable. Maybe, but I would encourage you to do what Taylor Swift told you to do, and that is go do your own research.

Taylor said, I did my own research, and neither of the reasons I'm choosing to vote for the vice president, but you do your own research, neither of the reasons I'm choosing to vote for the Vice President but you do your own research and you vote for who you want to vote for. I feel the same way. But them kids that are willing to do anything for Taylor Swift tickets and are Swifties, I think are going to follow exactly what she's doing. I agree with you,

Envy. Switching gears just a bit, you know, the Congressional Black Caucus Annual Legislatives Conference is underway here in Washington, D.C. The event, it focuses on issues impacting African-Americans and the black community across the world. It's running from the 11th through the 15th. And, of course, I will be in attendance speaking to your legislators,

thought leaders, and citizens who are meeting to promote political, economic, and social initiatives in the black community. So if you guys want to pull up and, you know, actually make something shake instead of just not you guys, but I'm just saying the American people, you know what I'm saying? We're not going to sit here and complain. We're going to actually get, you know, meet and converge and talk about it and, you know, get with those legislators and, you know, get our policies in place. So, yeah. But that's your front page news.

Now, when we come back, NBA bowler DeMar DeRozan will be joining us. He has a new book out right now, Above the Noise, My Story of Chasing Calm. And we're going to talk to him next. You don't go anywhere. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Nega. We are The Breakfast Club. Jess is on maternity leave. Lauren LaRosa's filling in.

And we got a special guest in the building, Compton's finest, ladies and gentlemen, DeMar DeRozan. Welcome. Man, it's an honor, man. How you doing, my brother? Doing good. How you doing? I am blessed black and highly favored, man. What's up, what's up, what's up? New book out, Above the Noise, My Story of Chasing Calm.

I love that title. When I hear that title, I know a man that's doing the work on himself. Man, trying, man. It's definitely a challenge. Something that's not easy. Take time. It's patience. Gotta give yourself grace you

know we go through a lot of stuff you know that we we sweep under the rug and a lot of times by the time we figured it out we we deep in and it takes a lot of work to try to figure that out so you know just trying to inspire get the message out there and just try to break the stigma more than more than anything i want to i want to know your journey when it came to the nba right because growing up as a kid there wasn't't as many leagues where it was training. We just kids played in the park and the good kids went to high school, played on a high school team, played in college. But now it seems like everything is foreseen as training. You got to train, train six days a week.

Lamar Odom and all those days just played park. They went to ruck and play ball and kept it moving. So what was your journey getting into the league? And explain to some of the kids out there who have that dream how difficult it was to get there first of all like you said like growing up like we didn't know nothing about training it was all like if i go to the play at the park from sunup to sundown that's what i'm gonna be able to do you know that's what i'm gonna do it's in the backyard if it's making a crate playing basketball like my aspiration was always trying to escape from my reality with sports. You know what I mean? Whether we play football in the streets, whatever, whatever it may be,

you know, we use sports as a gateway, you know, for peace. And for a long time, you don't even consider working out. You just want to hoop. As you get older, it becomes more difficult when you got to take those necessary steps to, you know, evolve into a true basketball player. So it's definitely a long road you know and especially now i can't even imagine what social media and so much stuff that's in front of these kids now you're basically famous by the time you know you're in middle school you know so it's definitely uh difficult these days more more so than ever when before it just used to be about the game when did you realize you were that good to make it to the league because as a kid everybody

thinks they joined everybody thinks they kobe everybody thinks they every player that they ever imagined when did you know like oh i got a shot when it was a true real life belief probably by the time i was probably like in the 19th grade when it was like all right if i if i keep working at this i maybe i still maybe have a chance but for me everything was still felt so far-fetched because you know you didn't know nothing about college i didn't have nobody in my family go d1 so even just going to college was a big thing like man i gotta at least make it to college like damn the league college was more so the the big obstacle for me to make it to there so by the time my senior year i knew i was going to sc i knew i know it was a chance for um after that for me to go pro for sure. What about your father?

I love seeing black men celebrate their fathers. You dedicated the book to your father, Frank DeRozan. What were some of the values he contributed to your upbringing? Not just as a player, but as a man more. As a man more than anything. He taught me the art of hardworking, resiliency, being a man, sticking to your word

and everything that he went through. He never complained. Coming from Compton, sticking to your word and, you know, everything that he went through, he never complained. Coming from Compton, I know in 2018 is when you sent out the tweet, the depression get the best of me tweet that kind of sparked all of the conversation. And I know you were back in L.A. at the time. Do you think or did you feel like was it like survivor's remorse because you you're so connected to home and family now you're back and you're at the height of your career? Yeah, I think for me, that's when everything hit the wall for me because my career was you know taking off at a peak that I never would imagine you know I'm coming back home to LA being a starter for the all-star team and you know all I cared about in that moment was get home and see my kids I wanted to see my daughters I didn't care about nothing else but it's like as soon as I got to LA everybody asked for something needing

something wanting tickets wanted to do this everybody had this pre-notion like, I felt like I was getting plotted on in a sense. You know what I mean? When at the end of the day, I just want to go hug my kids. I want to do what my kids want to do. But it's like the overwhelming feeling of I see myself in all these hotels, downtown L.A. It was just a lot. And it kind of put a lot of stuff in perspective for me. And I kind of just, you know, I hit a wall at that point.

Was Toronto a better place for you because you're away from everybody that you grew up with? And was that a mistake leaving Toronto? Toronto was the best thing that happened for me because at that time, even when I was at SC, like if I had a good day or a bad day, I was still going to Compton. Like still going to stay at my mama's house in Compton. I'm still around the same type of environment. So I really wasn't evolving in a way I needed to. You know, I still ran back to what I was comfortable with. So when I left FC, got drafted, you know, I go to a whole nother country.

Toronto. I know you like what the hell is beautiful women in Toronto. It's a beautiful place. Love like love it. No, a lot of beautiful women. He heard you. I love it. That man heard you.

He tried to get you. He heard you. That man heard you. Look at that man in trouble. Go ahead, brother. It definitely is. Go ahead, brother. It definitely is, though. Go ahead, brother. It's so wild because I didn't realize how much I needed to be away from home.

And it was to the point to where nobody in my family had a passport. None of my cousins would go. So I was there by myself. So it forced me to kind of grow up in a way to where it helped me mature in a in a very professional way where i paid attention to nothing but working on my craft how to be the best player best individual listen to all the ogs like i didn't have no outside distraction because i can't have the homies come up i can't have had a fam come up nobody got no damn passport like it wasn't easy getting a passport so it was something that that definitely was a necessity in my career at that point.

And a lot of things that I learned from my time being away from home, then I still carry to this day, just understanding solitude and being able to be to myself. Was that the first time you felt the calm? Yeah. Yeah. Unknowingly, too. You know what I mean? Because it wasn't no distraction.

I had no choice but to be to myself. And with that, you know, now you got to figure out you know how to how to do laundry how to how to with what to eat like so much stuff when before you know i'm gonna just go to mom's man i'm gonna have mom's make me something to eat this this so it definitely was a calm like i said even to this point to make it easier for me when i need those moments to be alone like it's easy to do the decision to leave toronto why was that that was tough that was tough because at that point you know I was nine years in it was only place I ever knew only place I you know wanted to stay invested so much there you know I grew there I was 19 when I got drafted had two kids up to to

that point so I became a father like just was a lot going on you never thought in your mind that you're leaving a place that you know you had so much success in so when that happened you know it took a hit but you know looking back on it i'm glad you know it happened because that's another point in my life that was needed for me to grow much more than i ever could imagine was that was the rumors of you going to la ever real was Yeah, that was real. Yeah, that was 100% real. You was going to play with LeBron? Yeah. How close did it get?

It was basically like a done deal at one point. And I remember waking up and I remember leaving LA because I just knew like, man, if a free agency started, I'm going to sign with the Lakers. It's about to be a show. You know what I mean? So I took a vacation, got away. I think I went to cabo or something and you know i look on twitter they were a different route i was like i thought i thought

it was a done deal you found out from twitter yeah yeah oh the lakers changed their minds the lakers changed they you know changed their mind thanks so you and cabo and like so what happens how do you feel what do you who do you call like what what's crazy you don't call nobody you just basically like you know figure out your next move wow you know because just because some probably could be a thought or a word agreement don't necessarily mean you know it's set in stone you know so they chose to go a different direction and that's that's when i went to chicago so but before chicago it was a good chance i was gonna be a legged i always wonder how did that make players feel when they look on Twitter

and see that they've just been shipped somewhere because it's almost like you're not even human. You're just a product. And that's another thing I talk to a lot of guys about that it's a lot of players in our league that kills their confidence. 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. 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. And you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

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. Flash, slam, another one gone. Bash, bam, another one gone. The crack of the bat and another one gone. The tip of the cap, there's another one gone. 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. 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. Because in order to make history, you have to make some noise.

That's what my podcast Post Run High is all about. It's a chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper into their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together.

Listen to post run high on the I heart radio Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. is desperate. My name is Manuel Delia. I am one of the hosts of Crooks Everywhere, a podcast that unhurts the plot to murder a one-woman Wikileaks. Daphne exposed the culture of crime and corruption

that were turning her beloved country into a mafia state. And she paid the ultimate price. Listen to Crooks everywhere on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. They don't understand it, and it puts them

in an aspiring, like, downhill emotion that they can't get out of. And a lot of times, you'll see a lot of these guys that are good players. And that one obstacle hit, they're never the same because a lot of guys can't bounce back from it from a mental aspect, expectations set on them. They feel like they didn't reach it. Now they feel less than.

It's a lot that goes into it that gets overlooked. I understand that it's a business, but a lot of times guys feel a certain type of way when that do happen and a lot of times it's hard to bounce back from it all right we got more with demar de rosa when we come back don't move it's the breakfast club good morning morning everybody it's dj nv jess hilarious charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club laura larosa filling in for jess we're still kicking it with nba baller demar de rosa charlamagne what made you choose to play for the Kings? Be honest, the opportunity

to compete, to win, was there. And the other side of it, obviously the financial part, to still receive what you worth. You know what I mean?

Let me look that contract up. He's like a bird over there. He lay worse than a bird. Pull it up there. This is 16-year in the league, too. 16, yeah. What's the contract, Charlemagne? Hold on.

I looked it up. Three-year deal worth up to $76.7 million, including $3 million in unlikely bonuses. Congratulations, Damar. Appreciate you. Appreciate it. 16, you see yourself going like 20? Physically, for sure.

You know, I definitely could do it. I take care of myself. I don't do nothing. I don't go out. I don't drink. I just either be my kids or I be chilling. I definitely could do it. I take care of myself. I don't do nothing. I don't go out. I don't drink. I just either be my kids or I be chilling. I don't do nothing. So physically for sure.

Mentally, that's the tough part because kids getting older, missing so much stuff from the kids, that becomes more of a priority more so than anything. I hate my daughter asking me if I'm going to be at a dance. They having them. I'm on the road. I can't make it. You know what I mean?

That'd be the tough part. So, you know, seeing them get older and missing a lot of stuff, that makes it harder on me to say, let me go for 20. Why did you, you know, leave the Spurs? Because, you know, Greg Popovich, he writes the forward in your book. I saw you telling the story about how, I think it was after your father passed. He came to see you and y'all just kicked it for like some hours. Yeah. And like, why leave that type of environment?

You know, it's crazy. Like, Pop's such a real dude because even in that point, like, he just wanted me to be able to go somewhere to win and kind of, you know, because the team was going a different route. They was kind of going younger. And, you know, he just told me my last year in San Antonio, wherever you choose to to go i'm gonna make sure it happens that's why i speak so highly of pop it even happened like you know pop texted me last night like just randomly like you know like the most positive message you could always get you know i love when pop text me but pop you know he was the one that come to me saying like go somewhere where you could go be happy and be yourself because we're going a different route here with the team wow you know

so pop a real dude for that. What makes him such a special coach? It's not about basketball. You know, it's been, I always tell a lot of guys around the league, like, you think it's basketball, but it's been so many days where Pop, we'll come in, we think we about to watch a film on a game previously or something, and he'll sit us down and we'll watch a whole show about penguins. And you'll be lost in a moment but you also were watching and

realize why he have us watching it because how penguins come together and sacrifice during certain seasons how the males come together take care of the eggs while the female go out and hunt for six months it's like a deeper meaning that he put you in front of to show you like humility from a a different level you know i mean and are maybe times where you lose two games in a row everybody mad complaining he'll come in and show clips from a third world country of kids training at 14 years old and playing uh to be in the army and he'll tell you ask yourself like what is it really to complain about you get paid millions like you get to do what you want to do as people out there suffering from real things you know so he put a lot of stuff in perspective

and he know how to get the most out of his players more than anything when y'all watch the penguin doctor that's so that they have same-sex behavior because a lot of times they say same-sex behavior and penguins has been observed in zoos but it's not clear if it's common in the wild. Nah. Nah, I ain't get that. I ain't get that part. So let me ask you about... That's true. But that's true. Look it up later. Okay.

Now, Deval, let me ask you about your pops. You said, I knew my dad loved me, and he was larger than life to me. Yeah. But he was the only person that you were scared of. Oh, my God. But how were you as a parent? Are you the same way with your kids?

No, because the fear he put in me, I always tell myself, I didn't want to be like that to my kids. But it kept you as a parent? Are you the same way with your kids? No, because the fear he put in me, I always tell myself I didn't want to be like that to my kids. But it kept you straight. But it kept me straight. But I also grew up in the streets. My kids don't know nothing about the streets. So I approached them more so with love and patience and understanding. When before, like, my parents parented me in a sense of survival it was always a thing my mom always used to tell me when you walk out that door make sure i don't care what you do you

walk back in this house but every time you come back in so with that it gave me a survival instinct to understand like no matter what i gotta i gotta make sure i make it back to the house you know i mean because it was tough so you know my kids, my kids. When did you realize that? Because, you know, as a kid, you think your dad's being hard on you. And you're like, I hate him. But then when you started getting a little older, you start having kids, you understand.

Oh, yeah, you understand so much. Even to this day, to this moment, I still have moments where I fully understand why my parents did a lot of stuff that they did. You know, and but, you know, when it comes to like that tough love i don't think it's necessary necessary like it's like it was with my dad for me especially growing up in confidence you know it's only dressing i saw you say in the book that you were afraid to have a

son of your own because you didn't feel that you could deliver the same brand of tough love that he did and two things that i i learned in therapy number one I felt like my dad used to discipline me for things he never taught me but also my dad was raising me out of fear and not love exactly and I think what we call tough love is actually fear because yeah he was afraid because you was in the street it's like when I was in the street my dad did not want me to make the same mistakes that he made exactly yeah and even now you know I got four four girls and one son. And having that, especially with my son, I think about my father more so than anything. But with him, he brings, like, I give him the joy and the love that he deserves like I do my daughters. You know what I mean? Because when I was a kid, I always wanted that for my dad.

I always wanted the approval from my dad. I always wanted to make sure I made him happy. But that was the tough love he was giving me that made me question that at times. So, you know, with my son, I definitely didn't want to come off that way. You know what I mean? I didn't want to give him that tough love. It may be times where it's needed, but for the most part, you know, my son is my dog. As long as it's with my daughters.

But, you know, having a son now, it makes me think about my dad more than anything. Now, is it true that you said Jordan on the Wizards is your favorite Michael Jordan? But you don't do drugs. More so. You got to explain that one. More so from the standpoint of how simple he made the game at such a. He was 38, 39, 40. Still.

But that was your favorite Jordan? It wasn't my favorite, but it was more so the one that I remember watching the most. You know what I mean? I'm 35. I was, what was 12, 13 when Mike was with the Wizards. So it was more me understanding and watching. And you fell in love with that Jordan?

No, I love Jordan. I more so fell in love with that Jordan with the style of play of how I play now. You know what I mean? Obviously you don't agree, huh? I mean, I get what he's saying, but that 23 on the Bulls is just a different 23. No, that's definitely something else. What's your favorite Bron?

My favorite Bron? That's a good question. I mean, second Cleveland stint, LeBron, probably my favorite Bron because that's the Bron we couldn't get past when we was in the playoffs. He was unstoppable. And you had a relationship with Kobe, too, right? Yeah, Kobe was, I had a relationship with Kobe ever right yeah Kobe Kobe was I had a relationship with Kobe ever since I was probably 15 15 16 years old just growing up in Compton like yeah growing up in Compton and I always used to go to his camps then obviously when I was in high school being a

top-ranking high school player he used to have these late night runs where we would go up there and play you know he used to hand pick who he fell fell in love with as players. And I was one of those ones. And by the time I was a senior in high school, you know, he would give me his shoes. I wore his Kobe's all, I think, my senior year in high school. When I went to college, he used to give me a lot of his shoes. So we always had a relationship ever since I was young, for sure. Where do you rank them? Like, where do you have them?

We just finished talking about probably— Kobe, my GOAT. Okay, okay. I'm beyond that. I tell everybody, Kobe's my goat for many a reasons you know that was the first person like I watch like growing up in LA that's the only NBA game I used to watch Lakers so I watched every single game of his I cried when he shot the air balls versus Utah in the playoffs like as a kid so always had an emotional attachment to him growing up watching him him play. And obviously him being my mentor by the time,

you know, I got in high school and throughout, throughout my time in the league. All right. We got more with DeMar DeRozan, his new book, Above the Noise. My story of chasing calm is out right now.

We'll be back as the breakfast club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. We are the breakfast club. We're still kicking it with NBA baller, DeMar DeRozan. Charlamagne.

Did the NBA provide proper grief counseling after Kobe passed? Even if you didn't have a personal relationship with Kobe, he influenced so many people and inspired so many people. Did they handle that correctly? Because y'all was in the bubble too around that time, right? Was that the

bubble? Yeah, that was that same year, right? Yeah. Because that happened that year. Then the league that happened yeah that yeah because that happened that year then the league stopped then that summer we went to the bubble yeah um no you know what's crazy i think during that time as players we we we kind of embraced each other deeper than than anything because you start to look at the the person next to you like man damn this if this could happen to Kobe, this could happen to anybody. And it kind of hit us all hard, man.

I remember the day it happened. I remember we had a game and a lot of people across the league started, you know, basically text and talk before the game. It's like, should we even play? A lot of people was contemplating on not even playing because just out of respect for Kobe and everything. But we end up, up you know everybody end up holding the ball thing we held the ball for 24 seconds shot clock you know just try to you know

pay pay respect to him but you know we we all bridge together as players more more so than anything I was playing against him because that was your idol that was your goal y'all played what 10 games in the league against each other probably more than that I think for for me it was it was cool because you know i was even able to be a part of his last all-star game in toronto you know to honor him even that season i think we honor him when he came to toronto i gave him some special shoes special made kobe shoes um it was amazing being able to play against your idol somebody you looked up to and knowing how crazy he was on on the court the aura that he

carried almost similar to the stories i hear about mike you know and to see that in cold whenever he stepped out there on the court the things he was able to do was it was beyond incredible i think uh first of all i love the title of your book right now we're talking to the margin rolls and above the noise my story of chasing calm i think we all know what noise sounds like, right? What does calm sound like? Because one thing you said earlier that hit me because I understand that feeling is when you feel peace and you're a person that's used to dealing with anxiety about the depression, it scares you a little bit. Man, I think I said this the other day. It's kind of like, you know, that eerie feeling you get when you're in the middle of somewhere and it's just too quiet. That's right.

And you're waiting for something to just wait like it makes your nerves kind of even worse in that moment because you you kind of on 10 from there so that was even a challenge for me and I used to try to figure out ways on really how to like accept it in an indulgence it got to a point to where I started going to like Montana Wyoming Wyoming, going to these random places where it's just completely natural sound and just like getting lost in it and understanding it's okay to be within peace.

It's okay to kind of decompress away from everything else that's going on because this is a true way to find and center yourself and kind of really think clearly for a second and not question it. What is it that makes Comon so special man like like just think about all of the great iconic culture shifting people who have come out of company yeah it's it's wild because i've had moments where you know when i go back home and i'm i'm leaving out this like city and you really just sit and realize, like, man, this this small city, the birth, some of the greatest individuals that ever touched the world.

I mean, it gives me the chills a lot of times when I think about it, because, you know, it make me feel even more proud even being from there because it don't happen by accident. The same, you know, it's something about this place that have so much to offer that you that you see I'm just honored to be a part of it be honest with you it's hard to pinpoint what is it but it's something amazing because we got some grace to come out of there now you played in Toronto for years but then Kendrick's from Compton Drake is from Toronto that's your guy how do you how do you choose what you gonna get into and what you're not gonna get into at that point you know it's crazy it's like loving both family but at the end of the day it's like i'm from compton like my city where i'm from where i'm born where my family still live

it's like that comes first before anything you know and i feel like any real person will understand that you know and that's just what it is like and it's so crazy because my second home became toronto right that has one of the greatest of all time being from there too so oh watch your mouth watch your mouth so you're not mad about the super watch your mouth no i'm not mad i'm not mad i understand it like yeah we for sure love to see wayne up there and my thing too is like everybody was in such a up world we don't know if Wayne was still gonna do it you know what I mean like we don't know we didn't know 50 was doing LA

but it was such an honor and surprise to see him still do it he can't do that though Wayne can't pop up as Kendrick Lamar I mean that part of it that would be crazy you think so yes Kendrick put your name in the song glad the Rose

came home y'all didn't deserve neither you being in the video they were acting like you man cross enemy lines and some even though that's your guy so imagine Wayne showing up on stage yeah true what do you want to say I see dead people too and then walk off true that's why I'm glad i'm not in an entertainment business because y'all job is is definitely difficult listen it's dope regardless of how everybody look at it i think it's dope go back to the content thing to see somebody from content headlining the superbowl like again y'all just had one two years ago yeah innocent la and two years from now too so yeah but yeah i don't know I just appreciate the moment

I would love to see Wayne you know I love to see you know cash money out there I love to see No Limit out there you know so I don't think too much into it

when it happens because I'm pretty sure it's more of a surprise that probably do come with it and that's just me guessing I don't I don't have no insight on anything

that's just me guessing I want you to break down the concert right the concert you did in Juneteenth in LA right of right of course we seen from the outside we seen the music side but everybody was talking about what he did for yeah street and local so break that down for people that don't understand that part of it people gotta understand like i know it can it can seem like people celebrating whatever it come to the disc or whatever but for us the weeks leading up to it the conversations that was had about certain people being in the same building that haven't

been around each other same people that's been having issues internal issues hoods individual problems with a lot of a lot of people for everybody to know that they're going to be under one building and act accordingly. No problems, no issues. I remember when I first got there, I remember walking in the back and I see the line of every single entourage. Every hood. Every hood. I'm talking about blue, red, blue, red, blue, red, blue.

You see it. And there was no issues, no problems, everybody talking. In that moment, fear symbolized what really was going on. That was bigger than just what the outside people may be looking at like oh it's a beef they don't know like some of these dudes haven't even been in the same building in years and some of these dudes hoods then had serious issues with this other hood so it's like we all in here wasn't not one problem wasn't one argument going or leaving and that was the most incredible thing for me to witness ladies and gentlemen demar de rosa this book is out right now above the noise my story of chasing calm and

we appreciate you for joining us man don't be a stranger either man for sure man my nick's beating up on y'all you come on you come in i wish you much success this season i don't have an nba team i like players you know i'm saying so i you know i wish y'all much success in uh sacramento thank you brother appreciate that. It's the Breakfast Club. It's DeMar DeRosa. Now let's get to Jess with the Mets with Lauren DeRosa. worldwide message on the breakfast club she's a coach with lauren lauren la rosa i'm back and i got the man talk to me man unc shannon sharp at the time of this report it is 7 53 a.m shannon sharp is trending number one on google trends worldwide and it has been going on actively

for 18 hours and y'all want to know why why he was on instagram live yesterday on accident according to him engaging in some activities with a young woman named michelle we do not know who michelle is uh but the activities were sexual activities and you could hear all the moaning the groaning the all of that the kissing the slurp it was a lot um so of course when this uh happened it went viral uh with everybody trying to figure out what the heck is going on um and he addressed the fact that a lot of people said that this was staged that he set this up just to get a moment take a listen obviously i'm embarrassed someone that is extremely extremely private and to have one of your most intimate details the audio

heard for the entire world to hear. I'm embarrassed for a number of reasons. People count on Shannon ESPN. There are a lot of people that count on Shannon to be professional at all times, even when I'm behind closed doors. I'm very disappointed in myself, not for the act, but for to have your most intimate detail on the audio to be heard. I'm disappointed in myself.

I let a lot of people down, but God, this was not staged. Came in, I threw my phone on the bed, gazed at an activity. I did not know IG Live. I've never been on IG Live. I've never turned IG Live on. So I don't know how it works. And after a while, Jamie Fritz, who's been my longtime marketing guy, he finally got through to me and he said, Shannon, you're on IG Live. I'm like, doing what? He said, sounds like you were having you were having sex man my heart sank so let me explain to y'all because i'm saying he doesn't know how ig live works yeah and there are some people out there that may not know how ig live again look at me why you saying that again and see what happens because do you know how ig live works no you know i asked you this morning so go through the procedure so listen so you gotta

swipe your phone over to the right or no. Yeah. Okay. Well, you can press like you're adding a photo to Instagram. Right. You scroll over to live. Yeah. You normally add a title, but he didn't. Then it counts down three, two, one.

This is a new feature. Then it says checking connection to make sure that people going to get all the goods. Now we're live. Right. And normally it would even tell you, right? If your connection is a little crazy, it'll say you are now live with an exclamation point so there are some steps to getting on instagram live but shannon sharp is saying that this was not something that was planned um yeah another but if you throw your phone on the bed

your phone doesn't swipe while it's on the bed and it doesn't click the live button while it's on the bed so i don't know exactly what he was in his phone doing prior to going live because i'm thinking like maybe there was like a pre-recording that they were doing amongst you know the young woman and him or was he on instagram trying to upload an insta story i have no idea but i have never accidentally gone live and y'all know i'd be on the ground that's right i i think it's weird i don't think it's possible it's okay to say you love shana shop but you don't believe this story it's okay i don't believe this story i'm sorry i do not believe it that is fine um i do i i get that off me man get that off get that off you got that camera in the context of this story you please be very particular about what you're saying knock it off all right about

live people now now one of the things i didn't want to mention because the clip was short it was like a minute and 16 seconds see the clip was short you got to be particular in this story yeah minute 16 seconds about so a lot of people were. You got to be particular in this story. Yeah. A minute and 16 seconds about. So a lot of people were like, yo, he was literally like growling at some point. And that was another thing. Breathing heavy. It was like, whoa, it was intense. I know that bad hate to see him coming.

Oh, you got to be careful about what you say in this segment. But another thing is they were joking about it, right? And he said, yeah, you lasted short. He was like, nah, I was 20 minutes in beforehand. He said 25. Don't play with him. So you was 25 minutes in. Then you threw your phone on the bed and then you went back in then he said he said he was so in it knee deep she probably had the ice after like how you do when you play in the game like you know he didn't say all of this they were jokingly saying the ice after whatever but he did say that i watched it i'll play the

audio for you after this because i didn't know why don't y'all have the audio now i didn't know we could do that one there was a lot of audio he was gonna ice where they were joking about her yes you can't play the you can't play the audio of him moaning but you can play the audio of them talking about it on nightcap and all our producers should know that. I didn't even bring it up because we couldn't do the moaning. That's crazy. So don't put that on them. Oh, okay.

Anyway, but what we do have though is them joking about how long he was going because even Gilly was making fun of the fact of how, huh? You said we got that?

Brandon said he got it. Brandon, I know that's right. No, not that one. Brandon said how long did he last? Let's take a listen to the next audio. Is it Brandon? You know, but we we gotta work on your cardio cause you was breathing heavy you shouldn't be

breathing that heavy so we gotta work on your cardio so Ocho when you lift weights we gotta get you on the cardio hit the treadmill first Ocho I was already knee deep for about 25 right you were kinda short too in there too huh I mean you was

a minute minute minute, minute by itself? Oh, no. Oh, no. Hey, this ain't no YouTube short, but it's a full feature. See? Okay, so listen. Listen to me. So like you said, Envy, so he said he was in it for 25 minutes already. Right. So the phone came

on after all of that? Yes. So what it seems like he was in it for 25, he picked up that don't that don't make any sense now lauren you used to work at tmz i did now i used to work for wendy williams so i tell me if i'm wrong here okay there was a sex tape protocol wait wait wait okay am i lying let me go on live let me go on live like like meaning that when when when celebrities were getting ready to leak okay sex tapes They would go to TMZs or people like Wendy

and it'd be like a step-by-step thing on how to do it and even how to act after it came out. Right? Am I lying? Well, I've never...

So with the Kim Kardashian one, right? There was no... They didn't come to TMZ at the time and be like, how do we do it?

But that kind of set a precedent because with Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner, they acted like they didn't know where the tape came from. They acted like they didn't sell it now we found out later that all that they sold it to a site right they allegedly sold to a site in 2024 right even

if this was planned staged what does this do for him besides this one little moment news happens fast these days yeah and i would hope that the good brother shannon sharp salute to shannon sharp dropping a clue to my i'm saying the shop he's having a phenomenal year yes i would hope that the good brother Shannon Sharpe is not letting social media comments get to him to the point where he would stage something like that.

To prove. I don't personally see him doing anything like that. You talking about the comments where they're questioning his sexuality? Yes. You think he did all this

because of that? Because they've been saying that. I didn't say that. I said I would hope that he's not. Well, that's the narrative that they're painting. Really? Yeah.

Because Shannon, here's the thing. If people want to believe something about you, they are going to continue to believe it you know why because you're successful if you want people to stop criticizing you if you want people to stop having an opinion about you then you have to stop being successful and i know you're not going to do that you know what i know now what's that from start to finish with foreplay and in the wrap up

he got a good 30 minutes in him i am very surprised Yeah that's Why are you surprised Because Y'all be playing with us Old dunks boy We do Why I don't know 30 minutes ain't that bad

Now if he would've said an hour Then I'd be like Cap Why is that cap That man is in shape If y'all heard the video Which we cannot play You hear all the kissing after

Them big lips They might have went For a second round So he might have had A good hour You should not be shaming him for anything you heard in that bedroom

because you wasn't supposed to hear it whatever happens in people's bedrooms is what happens in people's bedrooms they not shaming us that's his thing

nobody's shaming him they're more so kind of playing with him a little bit because they're like this is corny if it was staged that's why he kept

having to say I didn't do this on purpose and then he came out after this happened immediately his Instagram account posted my page was hacked he had to say no it wasn't whoever did that on your team is that was so corny to say you're hacked in 2024 how do you hack instagram live i'm not saying it can't be done, but how? Yeah, well, could you imagine the sounds that come out of your bedroom? I just hope that, you know, I just...

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. 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

Just hope that he's not letting social media comments get to him to the point where he would try to prove something to these digital D-heads. As long as he's successful, they're going to have something to say. We live right now.

We live right now. What's the noise that come out your bedroom, Charlamagne? Oh, God. Man, donkey of the day is up next, okay? We need Joe Biden to come to the front of the congregation. We like to have a whirl with him. Ask me mine, because it's like silence and sleep. Oh, yeah, because you by yourself.

Cheers. Are we watching Sex and the City of Insecure? Yeah, this is Lawrence. This is Lawrence. Having the crickets is crazy, right? I thought we was friends. That was yours. You at least hear the TV.

I don't think Lauren got no crickets in there. That's how lonely I think she is. All right. Wow. Donkey, the day's up next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. You're checking out The Breakfast Club.

Your execution on the donkey of the day is something to behold. Is it a reason? The gay me donkey of the day and I deserve it. You need to know. Well, you need to tell them. I am. You have the voice. Tell them. Tell them. Tell them. It's time for donkey of the day It's a read but you're so good at it You're trying to be a fake ass Charlemagne There's only one Charlemagne to go

Damn Charlemagne Who you give a donkey of the day to now Well sexy red donkey of the day For Thursday September 12th goes to President Joe Biden. Listen, the vice president has a slogan and the slogan is we are not going back and that slogan can be interpreted all types of ways. But one of the things Democrats should not go

back to is cowardly politics and terrible messaging. What happened yesterday while President Biden was at an event commemorating the 23rd anniversary of the 9-11 attacks was a form of those cowardly politics and terrible messaging see president biden decided to wear a red donald trump hat i cannot make this kind of stuff up let's go to sky news australia for the report please well the u.s president joe

biden has been spotted wearing a red donald trump campaign hat speaking at a 9-11 commemoration event this morning there it is right there the president was videoed as he wore a cap that reads Trump 2024. Lord have mercy. President Biden... President Biden offered a hat to a Trump supporter in the crowd while speaking, who in return gave the president that MAGA hat in exchange. A Trump support account on the social media platforms posted an image of Biden wearing that hat,

thanking him for his support. Donald Trump would never. OK, a day after your vice president has a phenomenal debate against the former president of the United States of America, Donald Trump, you, Mr. President, decide to put on a hat that says Trump 2024. Now, I'm not the highest grade of weed in the dispensary, but that doesn't seem like a show of support for your vice president to me. This race is going to be tight, okay? This race can be swung by just the tiniest fraction of votes, which won't fare well for the Democrats because Trump is going to challenge the results of the election. We know this. Don't act

surprised when it happens, okay? There are going to be Republican elected officials all over the country who will refuse to certify the results of the election donald trump's supreme court in my opinion in light of so many of their recent rulings including but not limited to the presidential immunity ruling which gives presidents absolute immunity from criminal prosecution in light of rulings like that i believe they would overturn the results of the election so democrats only defense against that is large voter turnout that's it by the, that's always their only defense against voter suppression because they can't get things like the John Lewis Voting Rights Act or the Freedom to Vote Act passed. So when you know you need that kind of turnout, why is the sitting president? Would you wear a hat in support of a person who is the op of your running mate? He is an op in regards to your administration you president biden you call

him a threat to democracy okay if he's a threat to democracy why are you wearing paraphernalia that supports him being president in 2024 you said you did it as a gesture of unity you can't call someone a threat to democracy and then wear their paraphernalia and want to be unified with them okay nobody who opposed nazis would ever wear something with a swastika on it and president biden not only wore it he took a picture in it now that picture is all over social media it's going to be in tv commercials digital ads donald trump's campaign immediately as you heard in the news report thank joe for the support another post from them said kamala did so bad in last night's debate joe

biden put on a trump hat this is why you got to keep joe biden in the basement right we're not going back okay since the vp has been the nominee since she's been at the top of the ticket you see all the democrats who have political courage and who are actually good at messaging front and center you see governor josh shapiro you see governor gretchen whitmer you see uh secretary pete you see congresswoman jasmine cocker he's jasmine crockett you see congresswoman ayanna presley okay just to name a few these individuals have political courage they aren't cowards at all and they have very clear relatable messaging joe biden represents a regime that simply doesn't have the courage to stand up to the bullies a day after we watched the vp bully the bully the president of the united states of america is back trying to get along with

the bully he wants a gesture of unity with the bully that's terrible messaging okay let me tell you something president biden if donald trump gets back in office he's putting you in jail all right he's already vowed to prosecute his political opponents trump wrote on social media just this past weekend when i win those people that cheated will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law which will include long-term prison sentences uh and please beware that please beware that this legal exposure extends to lawyers political operatives donors illegal voters and corrupt election officials this man is going to lock your ass up if he becomes president again and you wearing his hat you wearing his campaign paraphernalia this is why democrats have to keep joe biden in hiding every time joe biden steps outside his gps tells him he's arrived but it's

never where he meant to go okay i don't want him talking to anyone i don't want him answering any questions can you imagine joe biden having a press conference right now having to navigate meant to go okay i don't want him talking to anyone i don't want him answering any questions can you imagine joe biden having a press conference right now having to navigate his way through tough questions like what's today's date and then after biden took a picture in the hat he took a picture with a bunch of kids with trump paraphernalia on look i'm all for bipartisan togetherness okay but not when you're trying to win an election and somebody please tell president biden this isn't the republican party he came up with okay it's maga i don't know why republicans just gave the party to maga but they

did and i don't know maybe president biden thinks maga stands for make america geriatric again okay he's sick of the disrespect to old people and he wants you to know bingo nights and IHOP senior citizen specials will never go out of style. Make America geriatric again, because who needs fast Wi-Fi when you've got a rocking chair and a good story? The moral of the story is, President Biden, it's time for you to move like a VP for these last 50 days and just be quiet. Okay, please give President Joe Biden the biggest hee-haw. for these last 50 days and just be quiet. Okay? Please give President Joe Biden the biggest hee-haw. Come on now. He couldn't stop for the babies,

though, Charla? The kids? No. Not wearing that MAGA hat. No. No. Watch. Let me show you how serious it is.

Charlamagne, can you wear my Giants hat right now? Boy, please. See? If I had a light in here, I'd set it on fire. And this is just a football team. He looked again for a lighter, too.

I saw you. You know, when I was a young lad, I think that's the right word. When I was a young lad in 1910, when I was a young lad, I had a Mark Rippin. My mama bought me a Mark Rippin sweatshirt from Family Dollar. Mark Rippin used to be the quarterback for the Washington Redskins. And see, I'm from the country, right? Monks Corner, South Carolina. So we used to have to burn our trash.

Like we didn't have the trash pickups. We used to have to burn our trash outside. So sorry. So that trash was outside burning. My daddy took that sweatshirt and threw that sweatshirt on the trash. Screwed through it right on that fire. Okay? So you're not going to wear my John's shirt? john you don't wear ops paraphernalia period okay i just keep hearing instrumental that's my song

okay that had nothing to do with nothing but you know i just noticed something but i'll mind my leave me alone don't do it leave me alone what you notice what you notice what you think i noticed lauren this has nothing donkey days old is it what do you think let me tell you my headband yes yes because i need my braids done my girl canceled on me but she coming up saturday though she coming up saturday i am struggling my baby hairs are full grown over here like it is insane i'm just happy for growth though you're not gonna believe not that new girl if you're happy for new girl let me tell you something yesterday furry i heard i'm sitting there watching lauren and lauren

goes damn my hairdresser just canceled on me and as soon as she said that her hair just turned furry it did like i mean it just like all the new growth. I saw it come in in like seven seconds. It did. It's going to look so good, though, when it's freshly pressed. But what about today? Oh, today is giving. They didn't even know until you said something.

That's not true. Until you said something. That's not true. All right, gals. Right. All right, gals. When we come back, running for president of the United States, representing the Green Party.

Yes. I was trying to hit your head where your new growth is at. Dr. Jill Stein will be joining us in her running mate. Yes, she will. Dr. Butch Ware. And Angela Rye will be in here with us for that. Yes. It's going to get spicy, so tune in.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy, we are The Breakfast Club. Lauren LaRosa's filling in for Jess, and we have our sister Angela Rye with us this morning, helping us out. And we got some special guests joining us. We have Dr. Jill Stein, welcome. Hello, hello.

And Dr. Butch Ware, welcome. Good morning. Good morning. We're in the building. Y'all are the Green Party presidential candidate and running mate. Tell the people, what is the Green Party, and how are they different from the Democrats and the Republicans? Well, for one thing, we don't take money from billionaires and bankers and AIPAC and Wall Street and the war machine. So we're a people-powered party.

That's what makes us totally different. That's what liberates us to actually tell it like it is and to stand up and fight for the people, for the health care that we need as a human right, for the housing that we need, because half of America right now, half of all renters are struggling to keep a roof over their heads. We've got really critical needs that we need to be meeting. And that's what the Green Party is about, actually fighting for people, planet, and peace over profit. You were a candidate in 2012, 2016. Right. What's the difference in 2024?

Oh, man. It's the difference between night and day. You know, it's the thing about being ahead of the curve, and then the curve catches up to you. The curve is catching up to us on all the things, really, our agenda. In fact, the agenda that we've been putting forward since 2012 really is the progressive democratic agenda right now. Health care is a human right. Housing is a human right.

Reparations to the extent that they give it lip service. The Green New Deal. Yeah. Sounds like what you want to happen if you're not planning to win an election. Who said we weren't planning to win? What I heard. No, no. I'm saying it's not the only.

Exactly. It's not the only. It's hard to understand. Yeah. As a candidate. To hear that from a candidate, it kind of gives like, well, why are you here then? It does sound like you're the only one. No, no, no. May I go in on this, please?

I know that the deck is stacked against us, but this right here is part of our strategy, right? Because what happens is by appearing in a forum like this, what is going to happen is we're going to get on a debate stage. And when this woman goes up on a debate stage, exactly. Well, who knows? But the point is, is that as soon as we are in the mainstream media. You guys have a response. We will be doing a response. You did not meet the qualifications for a.

Incorrect. Incorrect. The qualifications established by a an exclusionary framework. The goal is to silence and throw off the ballot. That's what it is. I think it's a 15 percent threshold. framework whose goal is to silence and throw off the ballot options for voters. And if people are saying, if people are screaming for other choices, the American people are explicitly on records in absolutely unprecedented numbers saying we want other choices. And not only do people want other choices, they want to hear their choices. I do.

I do believe in a third party. I think we need other options. But it does seem like you all have a lot more smoke for the Democratic Party. I just wonder why. Because they're the ones that are suing to keep us off the ballot. They're the ones that are trying to knock us off the ballot in Georgia. They are the ones that are doing everything they can to keep us from coming. If we were not a problem for them, AOC wouldn't be doing her little sorry attack ads against us that we came back at.

So the Democrats are attacking us. We're responding in kind. Just to be plain about this, the reason why they don't want Dr. Jill Stein on a debate stage is because she will be able to look at Team Red and say, this is a party that is led by a domestic terrorist and a criminal. She can look to Kamala Harris. Kamala. Sorry. Come on. Come on, my brother. Hold on. No can look to Kamala Harris. Kamala. Sorry. Come on.

Come on, my brother. Hold on. No, it's honest to God. No disrespect. To be perfectly honest, it's just the way that I had gotten used to pronouncing the name because it resembles a name that is used in West Africa. But you understand the point of getting it right, though.

Absolutely. Yeah, you have to. The brother on the team with the other. You got to. Absolutely. I will not make that mistake again. I'm begging you. I love seeing black men jump by black women. No, no, hold on. It's not me. Listen, listen, listen. the team with the other you gotta absolutely i will not make that mistake again okay i'm big i love seeing black jump by black no no hold on it's not me listen listen listen richly deserved

and if i act a fool check my black ass that's fine like no like no joke like i expect to be held accountable by my people whether those are black folk folk or Muslims. So that is all love and it is all welcome. The reason is, is that we have this aspirational hope that is related to like black achievement and black power and black excellence. And it was weaponized in the Obama presidency. But so let's so let me could it be something else? Please educate me. Could it be? I know her. Yes. Could it be that she is someone who listens to voices on all sides?

Could it be that when the opportunity you can turn your head, but I've her. Yes. Could it be that she is someone who listens to voices on all sides? Could it be that when the opportunity... You can turn your head, but I've been in the room. No, no. You can turn your head, but I've been in the room, Dr. Ware. Don't be disrespectful, Dr. Ware. You're not, though. No, no. You might have just been feeling the spirit, but I'm just saying I've been in the room.

I was actually not turning my back. I was looking to see what the response on the other side of the room was. We was over here engaged. Yeah, no, because I can't see. I can't see the people that are behind me. So no disrespect. We're all having healthy conversations, by the way. Nobody's against anybody.

I agree. I ain't never turning my back on Angela Rye ever again. I'm going to say, let Ms. Rye finish her talk. It's part of the strategy. Because the last thing that I need is this system making me an enemy. No, no, you're not making me an enemy. I knew you was going there. Why are you doing that? Healthy conversations. and it's very disappointing to see you do that

and then say get away what are we missing so how I go ahead I would definitely like to hear um I'd love to know how many members how many voting members in the United States House of Representatives? So we have been blocked. The Democrats throw us off the ballot. They interfere. They put spies and infiltrators on our campaign. How many voting members? Compare us.

No, no, no, no, no, no. Answer the question. How many voting members in the United States House of Representatives, Republican, Democrat, and Independent? How many total? How many total are there? What is it? 600 some? No, it's 435. Plus 100 in the Senate, right? 100. Yes, I said House of Representatives. 100 in the Senate. Of those 435 in the House, of the 100 in the Senate, how many... Just one moment. I'm not trying to put you on the defense.

I'm just saying this because the Hill is my passion. That's why I grew up as a professional, right? How many of them are Green Party members? Okay, I know where you're going with this. No, I'm not going anywhere. You're attempting to show that the Greens are powerless. I want to make the point that one out of every... I was not trying to show you're powerless.

Well, this is usually part of that argument. What was the point you were trying to make, Angela? What was the point? Before you rebuttal, Dr. Stein, what was the point? I want to know how many voting members of the Green Party in the House or the Senate currently exist. Currently, there are none. However, if you look at the American people, how many are voting against the genocide? Hardly any. How many are voting against the genocide? Hardly any. How many are voting for health care as a human right, which would actually save us half a trillion dollars a year? We, the people, are not represented.

So not being there is not a strike against the Green Party. Okay, and that's fine. How many of them right now, based on, and I called it a wish list, it wasn't to be offensive, I have a wish list too, I got one in the ideal man I want to. It's dismissive to refer to a party party. No, no, no, no, no. That's what I'm saying. I'm sorry. Hey, but what I'm saying is it's not dismissive.

Hear my heart, right? I heard your heart on the mispronouncing of Kamala. Hear my heart. All right. Because there are none that currently exist, that means you've got to have allies. Who are your allies in the House and Senate? Excellent question.

See, if y'all would have just slowed down a minute, y'all had guns blazing. I told you it was a healthy conversation. Right? Like, come on. We got to do basic math. Child, please, let them finish. You were talking to me when you said that. But how many poor are the allies?

Can you name some of your allies in the House and the Senate that would help to get this very aggressive agenda you have i said to you all yep i agree with a lot of what you have there what i'm talking about is as a political strategist let me tell you on day one let me tell you on day one on day one we stopped the genocide okay there's a lot i'm trying but i can't get it well Well, you probably know. So your question, however, denies the power that the president has as the executive. The president has a fair amount of executive authority to actually begin the process. So that process begins with stopping the genocide on day one, which happens with a phone call. It's happened before. This absolutely will happen,

especially if we invoke the weapons embargo. So would you say that you don't need allies? On issues where you have executive authority, what you need are allies among the people. All right, we have more with Dr. Jill Stein and Dr. Butch Ware when we come back. They're running for president of the United States, representing the Green Party,

so don't go anywhere. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlam don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Lorna Rose is filling in for Jess. And Angela Rye has joined us today.

We're still kicking it with Dr. Jill Stein and Dr. Butch Ware. They're running for president of the United States, representing the Green Party. Angela? Dr. Stein, in 2002, you ran for governor of Massachusetts, and you lost. In 2004, you 2002 you ran for governor of Massachusetts and you lost. In 2004 you ran for state representative in Massachusetts and you lost. In 2006 you ran for secretary of the Commonwealth.

You also lost. In 2010 you ran for governor again, this time against the first black governor in Massachusetts, Deval Patrick. You lost. In 2012 you ran against this country's first black president. You got just less than one half of one percent of total votes cast. In 2016, you ran against Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, losing significantly with one point four million votes cast for you.

But zero electoral college votes, which I agree with you all needs to be abolished. But one hundred 136 million people voted and you lost that election as well. So I want to know what the pathway to victory is for you in 2024. It can't just be... I'd like to provide a different way. Check your mouth.

I want to provide... And I want to... Can I respond, please? And a couple of Harris supporters. Can I respond? please? Anna Kamala Harris supports. Please respond. I would like to respond. This is the framing of the empire and the oligarchy

and white supremacy and colonialism which wants you to feel that resistance is futile. This is about voter blaming and coercion. Let me just let you respond. You have plenty of time to. What you're not going to say is that I'm ever parroting anything at the hands of white supremacy. This is something that's very different.

This is me asking you again. It's a binary choice in an election. It is either a win or a lie. No, it's not a talking point. These are the same talking points that the DNC uses. This is not DNC talking points. This is my research. And sadly for you, the research says you have never won an election. You have been successful in pushing forward certain agendas as an advocate, but you have never won an election as a candidate. Is that a winning strategy? A journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. And in this case, it's many steps. Let me point out.

Let me point out, please. You need to compare the Green Party, not with those who are taking money from AIPAC and the war machine and Wall Street. You've got to compare us. Excuse me. You have to compare us to other grassroots, non-corporate. She said I was parenting the talking points of a white supremacist she told you I'm a white supremacist she said I was parading the talking points of a white supremacist that was my disappointment earlier may I finish please

may I please get to my point Dr. Steinhansler I've closed it up let me finish please thank you you're trying to compare us to the Democratic Party and the Republican Party with their billions of dollars or to the Working Families Party which which is not under attack. As a people-powered party, not taking money from Wall Street or the war machine or AIPAC, we are on very different turf.

But if you compare us to all other similar parties, which are not taking corporate money, which are not bought and paid for, which can stand up against endless war, against homelessness, against the climate crisis, against the housing and the health care crisis. Campaigns like us, who can actually stand up for the people, they last exactly one to two election cycles, and then they're gone. So we are actually the strong, the pillar of strength among people-powered politics. And what have we done over that period? We have established the Green Party as the vehicle for people-powered politics. We have also launched the agenda, which has been adopted by the progressive Democrats, given lip service, not actually advanced. But whether you're looking at health care as a human

right, launched by Ralph Nader as a national issue, reparations launched by our campaign as a national issue in 2012. If you look at free public higher education, bailing out students and ending student debt, you had Congress bailing out the crooks on Wall Street who crashed the economy, but not bailing out homeowners, not bailing out students. That agenda was launched by us. So I think it's not fair, and it is the talking point of AOC the other day, who is taking her marching orders from the DNC.

This is exactly what they say, that we are only running for president. It is amazing to hear you talk about women of color as parroting talking points instead of us looking at basic math. The one thing that AOC has done that you haven't is win some elections. And so what I'm asking you, if you've won any elections, that is one point. If you want to tell me that you want to push a more progressive agenda, if you want to talk about pushing a progressive agenda, you can do that not by running necessarily for president.

Your track record as a state rep candidate, as a secretary of the Commonwealth candidate, You can do that not by running necessarily for president. As Frederick Douglass said, power concedes nothing. As a secretary of the Commonwealth candidate, as a gubernatorial candidate, as a presidential candidate are woefully lacking. I hear this. So I'm asking if you consider going about it a different way instead of telling me I'm parroting white supremacist talking points. So I can tell you. Perhaps you hear the facts. I can tell you. The numbers are not on your side.

Right? Dr. Jill Stein, let's end with some closing remarks. Yes. You know, on your campaign and then the Honorable Angela R rye you can end with your i'm done i've asked my question okay so as frederick douglas said power concedes nothing without a demand it never has and it never will like so many other greens i came from the world of social activism the green parties we don't need to change people's minds. People's minds have been changed by the desperate state of our economy,

by the incredible injustices, by the police state that we're living in, etc. At that point, it's like a curtain went up for me. And I saw, oh my God, this is not a matter of having to change people's minds. People are already there. It's just that people are denied knowing that there are options that actually empower us. So what's your website for people who want that out? Thank you. It is JillStein2024.com.

And yes, check us out because this election is full of, what shall we say, 180s and unexpected developments. And we the people deserve to be heard. We are demanding to be heard. And we potentially have the power. If only the vote to stop genocide stood up to say, I will not hold my vote, my nose and vote for genocide, that vote, or the 87 million people who do not have adequate health care, or the 50% of renters who are struggling, who are just one or two paychecks away from being evicted and being

out in the street. If those people stand up to vote for what we actually can have right now, this election will be turned on its head. And if 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. 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. And you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before.

Well, thank you for joining us, ladies and gentlemen, Dr. Jill Stein. Thank you. Great talking with all of you. Thank you so much. Great lively conversation. Thank you, Angela Rye. Thank you, Angela Rye. It wasn't supposed to be a debate.

But it was good. It was great. It was great. It was the best kind of debate. It was great. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

Make sure you go on YouTube and watch the full conversation between Dr. Jill Stein and Dr. Butch Ware and myself and Envy and Lauren and Angela Rye. Okay, the conversation is like an hour. In 20 minutes. And sometimes when you play things over the air, it's only what? Eight minutes? 16 minutes in total. Exactly. So you don't get the full gist of the conversation.

It was a very healthy conversation. Yes. Jill got a chance to say what she needed to say. And I just didn't say child please for no reason. Shut up. Ain't nobody thinking about that. I just said child please. Leave me in your head.

I didn't say child please. If you identify as a little sass on a little spike, I was really protecting Bae. I was protecting Bae over there. Protecting me for what? Because he thought he was saying child please to you. I thought he was saying child please to you. I thought he was saying child please to you. No.

So I went and defended Bay and said child please to... He was saying child please to the Democratic National Convention. Child please. You know what? Ever since you've been dressing like a stud, you've been bugging a little bit. I was arms out, got you acting crazy. You see what I'm saying? It's the wind coming out the window.

You've been dressing like a stud all month. Is this stud appreciation, both of us? I was protecting Bay over there But anyway, let's get to Jess with the mess with Lauren LaRosa She don't spare nobody Worldwide Jess, worldwide mess On The Breakfast Club She's a culture show

With Lauren, Lauren La rosa i'm back real quick before we get into the next topic it is now 8 56 almost an hour since we've talked about shannon sharp and he is still trending number one on google entertainment trends worldwide i don't know what that means but you keep repeating it so i think it's good that means everybody's talking about him across the continues to talk about him, yes. And let me tell y'all, I wanted to make sure we got this in. When I was talking about the ice comments, I wanted y'all to hear him talk about how she might have had to ice herself. Take a listen.

You know, she might have had to put a little ice pack down there, but she good otherwise. You know when you play a hard game, you ice. Basketball players ice their knees, they ice their ankles, their elbows and stuff like that. You know, up and down football players. Okay. Yo, like when I watched it, that part. basketball players ice their knees they ice their ankles the elbows and stuff like that you know up and down football players okay yo like i when i watched it that part i made me turn it off i'm like they're too old for these little jokes you know what i'm starting to realize maybe i should have been realizing this what as i get older you need ice on your knees no we don't need to be talking amongst each other we don't need to be putting the podcast mic in front of my face like that wait hold on wait wait wait wait we need we need some of this sometimes now listen we talked about earlier how people have been

there's been you know people feeling like shannon sharp was gay and that some people think that this is why he did all this now ocho actually addressed it on the show take a listen and this is and this this is funny thing about it now you remember all the people talking trash and saying whatever they had to say, trying to assassinate your character, that you might be this, you might be this. So, hell, I mean, I'm sitting back. I'm thinking, hey, it was a goddamn Michelle. It wasn't a Michael. Really? It wasn't a Michelle.

It wasn't a Michael. It was a Michelle. That audio also goes so crazy on TikTok. Did he say assassinate your character yes assassinate is hilarious not assassinate your character is trying to assassinate your character by saying you gay once again like i said last hour i would hope that the good brother shannon sharp is not letting social media comments get to him to the point where he would stay no they got to him they got to him because he said he said he cried because of this he said he actually cried because of this

because of why just listen you can laugh at the situation in the mistake that you made and i don't cry enough oh joe i ain't got no more tears you cry yeah because i'm embarrassed i'm embarrassed i'm embarrassed for my circle i'm embarrassed for the people there there are people not not everybody but there are people out there that hold me in high regard and look to me as a beacon as a role model right and i let those people down yeah but i'm human yes sir although i try to to strive for perfection there's no such thing well oh he cried over the video yes oh i thought you meant over like the comments but i mean that's because you're anticipating people's reaction to it and things that might happen from it. But now, I mean, everybody in the U.S., these Google Trends are in the U.S., not worldwide.

Everybody in the U.S. now, they know. So you don't got to cry no more. It's all good. Can I say one thing just in general to everybody out there? You wake up with yourself. You go to sleep with yourself, right? You wake up with yourself every morning. You go to sleep with yourself, right? You wake up with yourself every morning. You go to sleep with yourself every night.

You know you. Nobody should be able to tell you about you, especially if you know the truth about yourself. Can't nobody tell me anything about me because I know me. You don't know me, especially a bunch of digital D-heads on social media. Now, Anki going to sleep with Michelle, not Michael.

And Michelle be telling him about his show. Now let's move on. Cause I want to, we also got to get to Kendrick. Kendrick was a big thing yesterday too. You a gay stud. Yeah. And I don't even know how that's possible.

But you, cause studs are gay. But you are a gay stud. Oh, go ahead. Continue. Okay. So Kendrick,

he dropped a song yesterday, but it was only available on his Instagram. I'm not for sure if it's anywhere else now, but it was only available on his Instagram at the time for sure if it's anywhere else now but it was only available on his Instagram at the time and it's called walk them down I thought it's called party yes the party died I'm sorry yes so the first let's take a listen to the first line of the song which is the walk them down line that I just referenced why argue with these clowns if the circus is well at work just walk that man down that'll do

everyone a solid it's love but tough love sometimes gotta result in violence if you parade in gluttony without giving truth to the youth the graveyard is company just tell us what cats get the truth they party more than just you tell me what are you working for they glorify scamming you get chipped over this credit card yeah and the song is not on um apple music so it's still on instagram yeah he talked about so he talked about being disappointed in the media. He talked about the walk-em-down line, which I think was a shot at Drake basically saying, like, I've already quieted him.

That was good for all the people. There was a line where he says that he would rather have Nipsey back than a lot of the people that's out here talking about, you know, people just be on BS and they're not real. He talks about women having it tough right now because they tougher than a lot of men out here. It's a dope record. Like you said, Lauren, I don't believe the record is just about Drake. I think he's talking about

just the culture. People in the world, society, the industry, media. I'm going to tell you something, Kendra. You're going to drive yourself crazy. The only thing you can do is continue to be the change you want to see in the world cuz this ain't stopping no time soon that's right it's just not you know me we're too far gone like God himself would have to come back and and even then people wouldn't

believe it try and could stop Wu Tang trying could start playing and a big toe could come from the sky, and Jesus himself could come down, and they would make him have to prove himself. That's right. All right. Well, that is Jess with the mess. You ain't walking on water.

Man, I love Philly, man. Philly holds a special place in my heart because Philly is the first. Philly is where I started my morning radio show career. Actually, in a lot of ways, my syndication career and my morning radio show career,

because when I came up here in 2006 as a co-host of the Wendy Williams Experience, Philly was a big, big market for Wendy, you know, because that's where she went to go do morning radio. That's where she had her son and everything. So Philly was a big market for her. So I got a lot of love for Philly and I was doing my own morning show in Philly back in what, 2010?

I believe it was 2009, right? So salute to everybody in Philly. Make sure you go get Wallo's book, Armed With Good Intentions. It is available everywhere you buy books now. We had a great conversation in Philly last night. Salute to Uncle Bobby's and salute to Taste Cheesesteaks. If you are ever in Philadelphia.

You had another one yesterday? Yes. What kind did you have? Salmon. Okay. Salmon, no cheese. I don't get the cheese. But salmon, go to Taste Cheesesteak in Philly.

Best cheesesteak in Philly right now. I don't care what nobody says. They got the salmon cheesesteak, the jerk chicken cheesesteak, the regular beef cheesesteak, and they got another option. I forget in Philly right now. I don't care what nobody says. Okay, they got the salmon cheesesteak, the jerk chicken cheesesteak, the regular beef cheesesteak, and they got another option. I forget what it is right now, but great, great spot, man. So salute to Taste Cheesesteak in Philly.

All right. And the positive note is this. The amount of scrimp it takes to choose to be alone instead of poorly surrounded is extremely underrated. If you are strong enough to choose yourself, I honor you. Have a blessed day.
