But yeah, I'm here. Yo,

look, on the way to work, I was watching, I sat down with Carlos King like two weeks ago and did an interview. And once you know how you do an interview, then you be scared to go back and look at it like, oh lord, what, you know what I mean? But it was a beautiful conversation, really great. Carlos King, shout out to him, he's cool. I love his interview on style and everything. We got into some things, so if y'all wanna check out the full interview, anybody that's listening,

the full interview is on YouTube, the Carlos King, Reality with the King Show. As soon as the Carlos King, I know he has a podcast with Charlemagne's black effect network But he was the first person to actually try to get me on reality TV. He was this was probably about maybe 15 years ago. I sat down with gear myself and this is when they were launching New Jersey housewives of New Jersey He was explaining the show what the show was about and I'm so glad we didn't decide to do it. But He talked us into it. He was like, you know, it's so good. Hey, don't get it twisted Carlos is a reality TV mogul Carlos makes up like 69% of all the programming on oh

But he was the first person this is when he wasn't even an executive I think he was just like a, I don't want to say a runner, but he was just getting his feet wet with the reality thing. And he sat down with me, with Gia and myself. Really, really lovely individual. Still hits his cuddly. Who else he got wet? You know what?

Angela Rye will be joining us this morning. Wow. Wow. Okay, it's Fletcher Carlos. Stupid, yo. What's wrong with you, man? What is wrong with you? Angela Rye will be joining us this morning. Wow. Wow. Okay, it's like the Carlos. Stupid, yo. What's wrong with you, man? What is wrong with you? Angela Rye will be joining us to give us a recap of her State of the People Tour and talk about everything that's going on in the world of politics. That's right.

All right. Well, let's get the show crack. We got front page news. Morgan will be joining us. So don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning everybody is DJ envy Jess hilarious. Charlamagne the guy we are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. What's up Morgan? Hey y'all. Hey, how we feeling on a Thursday? Good girl. All right. I love to hear it. So the conversation does continue around the Epstein files or Lack thereof president Trump says the media and some Republicans are wasting time on what he calls quote the Epstein hoax Yesterday Trump spoke to reporters in the Oval Office and he was asked about the contentious

DOJ investigation into the late sex trafficker that even some Republicans have questioned Now Trump was asked if he lost some faith in some of his reporters over the Epstein investigation and he continues to defend also he also continues to defend Attorney General Pam Bondi over the Epstein case. So let's take a listen to his comments regarding that. It's all been a big hoax. It's perpetrated by the Democrats and some stupid Republicans and foolish Republicans fall into the net And so they try and do the Democrats work. She says I gave you all the credible Information and if she finds any more credible information, she'll give that to what more can she do than that? So Trump went on of course as mentioned, as I played in the audio, he did mention that

Republicans got duped and followed the Democratic playbook of going after him with false stories comparing Epstein to the Russian hopes. The president also said he stood again, of course, he's standing 10 toes for Pam Bondi saying she only needs to release what she believes is credible. Many people are speculating that there must be something to hide if the efforts are so vast to make it go away. And of course, now the people are like, now we really want some answers because you really trying to make this go away. Meanwhile, I agree. If I was a Democrat, I would never stop talking about the Epstein files. I keep saying all week, treat the Epstein files the way Republicans

treated trans people in men's sports keep going MAGA is finally realizing Trump lies about things and they should be asking why is the Trump administration protecting potential child predators What about if Democrats are on some of those tapes and some of those pictures as well and they're trying to protect themselves as well Could that be part of it too like I expose you but it's exposing us Oh, yeah, I said that as well. Could that be part of it too? Like I expose you but it's exposing us. Oh yeah I said that as well. Like you know the reason they don't want to put out the files is mutually assured destruction. But let's be clear if any Democrats that are in those files are part of an old regime that gets that needs to get thrown under the bus anyway. So you know all

of the young Democrats and you know the future of the Democratic Party they should still be calling for it even if they have to throw some of their own under the bus. Number one, why are you going to protect potential child predators? Number two, you need to throw that old regime of Democrats under the bus anyway. Geez, Charlamagne said hit the reset. That's crazy. Throwing a bunch of people under a bus is wild. A bunch of old people under a bus.

Oh my. All right. It does appear that this does have a ripple effect because among more turnover among prosecutors inside the Southern District of New York on Wednesday, Maureen Comey was fired from her post as assistant U.S. attorney inside the high profile Manhattan-based federal prosecutor's office. Now, Comey is the daughter of former FBI Director James Comey and had been there more than a decade. She had been involved in the recent prosecution of Sean Diddy Combs and her past work included

the prosecutions of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. Now, President Trump, who also frequently targeted James Comey on social media, is facing backlash over the Justice Department decision not to release more information on the Epstein case. So this appears, or seemingly so, is one of those ripple effect situations. And today nationwide demonstrations

against the Trump administration are scheduled to take place in cities across the country, all across the country today. The day of action and protest is being called quote good trouble and a nod to late congressmen and civil rights activist John Lewis who died on this day back in 2020. now thousands are expected to hit the streets in places like here Washington DC LA Chicago Philadelphia Phoenix and of course up there in New

York guys so that good trouble necessary trouble day of action and protests is taking place today so I'll keep you posted on what that looks like tomorrow I said you know, stick around. There's more front page news at seven. We'll talk about what's happening in the Senate. And the president also signed a bill targeting fence and also stick around. All right. Everybody else get it off your chest.

800-585-1051. If you need to vent, phone lines are wide open again. 800-585-1051. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. the Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. This is your time to get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. We want to hear from you on the Breakfast Club.

Hello, who's this? This is D from Breakfast Club. What's up D? Get it off your chest. So, yes. So, you're right. These Democrats need to be preaching hard about getting the best things to house release. Because I feel like there's a lot to hide on this, especially if they got potential Democrats, Republicans, and maybe even celebrities on it. That's right. That's the reason they don't want to put the list out, because they know it's mutually assured destruction. But that's why I

keep saying the young Democrats that don't have nothing to lose, throw that old regime under the bus. Blow it all up, because we need something better. Definitely, definitely, because I would love to see if the Clintons is on there. Maybe even Bernie Sanders, maybe. Hey, you never know.

That's why I don't wanna do it. Damn, Barbara. You never wanna know. Man, but that's why I don't think they want to do it because you might have Democratic presidents that are there and Republican, and they probably don't want to blow it up. What if Diddy's on that list? That would be funny. Goodbye, man.

Goodbye. He might be, but goodbye. But you know what's so crazy? I forgot what I was going to say. Never mind. Hello, who's this? That means he wasn't supposed to say it, yo. Charm so crazy. I forgot what I was going to say. Never mind. Getting old. Hello, who's this?

You said what? That means he wasn't supposed to say it, yo. It's your main crazy. Hello, who's this? Yo. Yo, what up? It's E from Philly. What's up, Envy, Sharla, Jess?

What's y'all doing? What's up, E? What's up, baby? Good morning. Good morning. I just wanted to get this off my chest, man. Like I see, and I talked to a lot of people and a lot of people are depressed. They overwhelmed, you know, everything going on in the world

is really, is really getting to a lot of people. So I really, like I have a podcast called Vision Rebirth and I talked to people that had near death experiences, divine meditation, encounters with higher beings, all of that. And this really changed my perspective. And like, we really don't die. Our spirits live on. We've been here billions of times.

We've died billions of times. And like, this is an experience that we chose for our spirits growth like for real. I believe that. Angels are real. All of that stuff is real. Like talking to these people that have seen God. Like this is really just an experience and we all just have to just sort of like and I know this sounds so cliche, but we really just gotta like love each other. That's it. Yeah.

I agree. I agree with what she says. That's really it, man. Well, thank you so much. And that's not cliche. Telling people, telling everybody that we need to love each other is like telling everybody you need to drink water on the regular to be healthy.

Like that's not cliche. It's true. Well, thank you so much, mama. Get it off your chest. 800-5 indoor pool, an outdoor pool. We want to hear from you on the Breakfast Club. We can get on the phone right now, he'll tell you what it is. We live? Hello, who's this? Hey, good morning, this is James calling from North Carolina.

What's up, James? Get it off your chest, brother. Yeah, man, just recently I came to the conclusion that human beings are a plague on this planet, man. If you think about it, we're the only beings on this planet that cause it more harm than good. And it's a shame, man. I don't think you're too wrong.

It's the truth, man, when you really sit and think about it. Everything that causes the atmosphere harm or does something negative to the planet, that human beings are the cause of it. Every other animal does what they were put here to do. The earth would be fine without us. Jesus. And sometimes I think the earth is rebelling against us. It seems that way, it seems that way

with all these storms and these floodings and stuff like that and it's crazy. Yeah. But y'all have a good day, man. You too. Thank you. Thank you, brother. He just basically said, what the hell are we doing here?

We shouldn't be here. We about to get up out of here. We are horrible people. Yeah. Is the apocalypse about to happen today? I mean, the one young lady was saying how we don't die and he said, and he was telling us that about natural disasters. Is the apocalypse about to happen this morning?

Man, I don't know. And then I'm the only one here, so I'm like, damn, I ain telling us that about natural disasters. Is the apocalypse about to happen this morning? Man, I don't know. And then I'm the only one here, so I'm like, damn, I ain't trying to die alone. Y'all need to be at work. Yeah. Exactly. Hello.

Who's this? Yo, what's up? This is Jordan. Hey, what's up, Jordan? Get it off your chest. Yeah, I just want to say good morning to y'all. D-Day MV, Charlie May the God, Jess, I love y'all. Love you.

Listen to y'all But I just want to get off my chest that uh Baby mama's women they need to stop playing with a Kid father, you know sit and mix signals and stuff like that That's just something that I've been dealing with and I just want to get that off my chest Sorry for you, sorry about that you know Hmm sorry about that. What's been happening? You know, my kids mom, she's in a relationship or a snow car relationship wants to get out of, you know, and I don't know, she just be sending me mixed signals saying that, you're gonna do this and do that, it's just the totally opposite, you know,

and I just wanted to get on here and talk about it for a quick second. Yeah, so basically you're not over her because she keeps stringing you along, leading you on or whatever. She in a relationship that she trying to keep you on top, you know, because she's constantly ending it. But she really just trying to have a cake and eat it too for real. Because she would leave you if she really wanted to be with you. It's just she's stringing you along to keep you right there just in case things don't

work out with this dude. And that's really how it is and then she wants me to give her a key to my apartment and I'm like I can't do that. She playing with you, bro. You need to move on. Yeah, I did that before too But I got the key but don't be dumb and give her the key. All right, don't do it Because I'm not I'm done playing games with you. No, I mean, and that's what I am gonna do. I'm gonna move on and I'm gonna live my life. I'm always do that for my kids, you know. Absolutely. And that is all you're supposed to do. It's about the keys.

That's how you let her play games by herself. Most definitely. I love y'all. Love you too. Love you too, bro. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. And don't forget, today is Thursday, so in a little bit, Jess fixed my mess. So if you're dealing with relationship issues or relationship problems, you can call Jess right now and she'll fix your stuff right up, all right?

You can get on the phone lines right now and get the numbers, 800-585-1051. Now we got the latest with Lauren coming up. We do. SZA dropped the text between Nikki Minaj and Her team Nikki was trying to play her about getting the feature not getting the feature Sizzle say you ain't gonna play with me today. I'm a show to people bitch. Oh my good. Well, we love a receipt We love a receipt. Yeah now you need to do the clock it Charlotte cuz I was definitely one of the girls I was definitely one of the girls. We love a receipt.

You better not be no clock. You better not clock nothing. We love a receipt. Clock it. He's there. This is so sassy this morning. All right, we'll get to that next. So don't go anywhere.

It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ NV Jess Hilarious. Charlamagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Let's get to the latest with Lauren. Lauren be coming in straight back. Tell us! Man! She gets into somebody that knows somebody. I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about everything. She be having the latest on the latest with Lauren La Rosa. Sometimes you have facts. Sometimes you have details. Sometimes you have a little bit of everything.

Well, it's the latest on the Breakfast Club. So yesterday, SZA entered the chat again in this Nicki Minaj back and forth, and she dropped text messages from Nicki Minaj. And she says that these text messages will show that Nicki absolutely does know her music and what she contributes, because Nicki Minaj acts for features twice to no response.

In addition to rapping my lyrics on feeling myself, the lyric was cooking up the base, looking like a kilo, laugh out loud, you're having a moment, I'm not sure why, but be blessed. So the text message reads as we mentioned in the combo yesterday, she says, hey, it's Nicki, and they respond Minaj, and she says, yes, how are you? Or how are ya?

I'm good money, was was popping congrats are in order So then she goes right to it says I'm recording right now. I got this hook I think she would be dope on so they respond and say yes, but she's an album Oh, so send it so she sends it over and she makes it clear that if SZA is interested But right like once she hears the hook in the outro It was like a preview of it if she's interested that she would you know later want her on the song so The of course, you know

This kind of changes the conversation a bit because for the last I would say like ever since we talked about it here at the breakfast Club, it's about like four hours ago Nicki Minaj has been online Making it seem like SZA doesn't really have much of a career like she's been Reposting stats that put her and SZA next to each other in different situations. She posted about the GNX tour and said, is this that Ho tour or her Bro tour talking about Kendrick Lamar? You know, just things of that nature. There's only one problem when you do stuff like that, Lauren. Well, when Nicki does stuff

like that. We all got eyes and ears. Like we've been watching this is career for the past. However many years, she's got a pretty great career. Yeah, it's the most definitely does. Yeah. And then you can't downplay because you can't downplay this is career in no way, shape or form. By the way, compared to anybody says this says his career is great. Yeah. Yeah. I think that like SZA has a core fan base like in Adults and kids love this girl. Like I even have this is a Every metric. Yeah By every metric, okay, she's on her way to superstar icon status like yeah what do we do with only two albums by the way mm-hmm yeah so four hours ago on X

cuz Nikki also went over to station head as well too after that but I was sleep at that point but on X four hours ago she reiterated Nikki Minaj did you know her here's how it went on from her point of view. She said that an executive kept texting and calling her to do a feature in a video with their artists to their surprise. She said no. She said I was going to be like, they're going to start singing for me just like they are signing for me, signing to me just like they'd be signing to y'all dweebs. So she says that the executive text and called again.

The executive she's referencing is Punch, president of the CDE who manages SZA that we talked about yesterday. And she said she responded with the executive text and called again on the exact executive she's referencing is punch president CDE who manages is that we talked about yesterday. And she said she responded with the same thing. He didn't like it. So then she alleges that he went to, you know, do this whole campaign against her because of that. But that is the broken Barbie thing. Or no, just in general, she says in general that there was just a campaign, you know, against her.

She said that she was she alleged she was harassed online for years and she also alleges that he probably told his artist to start a beef with her. How did Nicki respond to that receipt, Lauren? Four hours ago, her last posting was what I just was talking about. So on X, she just recounted what she's been saying is her side of it where it didn't happen like that They she's saying that they reached out to her a couple times She said no they continued to reach out and she still said no so because of that they went on this whole alleged hate Nicki Minaj campaign and She's alleging that the executive who is punch probably told his artists to start a beef with her

Is there like an audio or something? So there's a there was a brief audio from that. That's what I was playing free from station head where she basically is telling her fans like y'all keep talking to me about SZA. We've been off that for 24 hours. But this ex tweet that I just read was four hours ago. This would last it all night long. This doesn't even make sense.

Right. Because they're not even in the same lane. Nicki Minaj is a rapper. SZA is an R&B artist and pop artist. They're like they're not even in the same lane. And what disturbs me rapper. SZA is an R&B artist and pop artist. They're not in the same lane. What disturbs me is this is not even about I'm better than you. You know when there's rap beefers like I'm nicer, I'm more lyrical. This is just about googly gosh. What are they even?

Googly gosh? What the hell kind of Dominican white language did you just use? That sounds like something some Jonathan Majors would have said. This is just googly gosh. This is just googly gosh. This is about nothing. Hey, Jonathan will say that about dancing. Let's do this googly gosh dance. Let's do this googly gosh. I know, it'd be mean though.

I feel like we're on the dance floor and doing a little googly gosh. This is just googly gosh. This is nothing. Why are you envisioning Jonathan Majors doing that little step? Yes, yes, the googly gosh. No, that's a little googly gosh. Yes, yes. The googly gosh, not googly, googly.

And I don't know where that word came from. Maybe I just made up that word. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. No, that's a little googly gosh. Yes, yes. Googly guys, not googly, googly.

And I don't know where that word came from. Maybe I just made up that word. I don't know. Crazy. The reality is Nikki's audience doesn't even care though because when you've been so busy defending somebody all week like they have, you refuse to be wrong. So they're probably saying that the text that SZA posted is AI created by Roc Nation. And if they didn't, you just gave them an idea. Nikki Minaj did bring Roc Nation and Jay-Z into that tweet that I just read about the the one that was four hours ago. She said that Jay-Z has all these people in the industry thinking that they can like come for women and do and say whatever they want. But she's about to continue to expose things that are happening.

But I summarize what she said. It was a long tweet. I could be listening. I'm not the highest grade of weed in the dispensary, but just based off my naked eye. Okay. Nikki comes from women way more than I've ever seen Jay-Z come for women. Just want to put that out there. Yeah. Yeah. And the fans are responding to it. Then they're saying basically, if you're saying that she asked for this feature twice why don't you have evidence of the the second like time that Nicki Minaj reached out

and asked you for something. Forget the first receipt. Yeah. Okay that first receipt I don't care about that one but give me another one in the proof. You said two. You don't have another one I bet. Well we'll see look Nicki Minaj says she has the receipts I they I don't know I haven't seen them the receipts yet but she said it didn't happen this way. You said your Lauren you said something just now that was so cold you said I don't know I don't know what the hell is going on with this situation I have no idea. I can't wait for those 40 year old barbs to start coming at you Charlamagne with the bad back to bad knees and they gonna be typing today, but I can't wait He don't be on X.

His story is wild and it's currently the subject of a juicy new HBO documentary.

We dive into how culture connects us. When you go to France, or you go to England, or you go to Hong Kong, those kids are wearing Jordans, they're wearing Kobe's shirt, they're watching Black Panther. And the challenges of being a Black founder. Close your eyes and tell me what a tech founder looks like. They're not going to describe someone who looks like me,

and they're not going to describe someone who looks like you. I created There Are No Girls on the Internet because the future belongs to all of us. So listen to There Are No Girls on the internet because the future belongs to all of us. So listen to There Are No Girls on the internet on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Call Jess right now, she'll help you out with all your problems.

800-585-1051, it's The Breakfast Club, good morning. The Breakfast Club, your mornings will never be the same. Morning everybody, it's DJ NV Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy, We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get back to some front page news. What's up Morgan? Hey y'all, hey, okay. So let me tell y'all what's going on with the Senate. They were working all night and it appears that they have given the thumbs up to, or at least Senate Republicans are giving the thumbs up to cut funding for public broadcasting, global health programs, and more foreign aid.

So lawmakers narrowly passed a package early this morning that would take back $9 billion in spending that had already been approved. Now it's part of the efforts of the Department of Government Efficiency or DOGE that was or used to be run by billionaire Elon Musk. Now the measure goes back to the House for approval before heading to President Trump's desk for a signature. If that happens, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which funds NPR and PBS, will lose funding along with the World Health Organization and the U.S. Agency for International Development

or USAID as many people know it. The package originally targeted $400 million in AIDS prevention, but the Senate removed that cut after a marathon debate session. So that's what's happening in the Senate literally up to the minute. Now meanwhile, back in the Oval, President Trump spoke about the Federal Reserve saying he's not planning to fire Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. Now Trump criticized Powell's performance and elaborated on reports saying that he was going to fire the Fed chair.

Let's take a listen to the president's comments. He's a terrible, he's a terrible Fed chair. I was surprised he was appointed. I was surprised frankly that Biden put him in and extended him. Now I talked about the concept of firing him. I said, what do you think? Almost every one of them said I should, but I'm more conservative than they are. Yeah, so Trump would want to say that. Maggie, get y'all granddaddy. Okay, pop needs in that, all right? Because Biden did not appoint

Jerome Powell. Donald Trump is the one who nominated and appointed Jerome Powell. Yeah, that was round one. Trump said it's highly unlikely that he will fire Powell, excuse me, adding the chair could step down over what he calls possible fraud over Powell's two point two and a half billion dollar renovation plan of the Federal Reserve building. Trump doesn't seem to believe that you know that price tag is right for the renovations on the Federal Reserve Building So the prop the president has been of course highly critical of Powell's refusal to cut interest rates Adding that he did it for Biden, but not for me

Gloss over the we just gonna gloss over the fact that Donald Trump said he don't know how Jerome Powell got appointed when he's the One who appointed him? Oh no, we didn't walk over, you openly addressed it. Like Donald Trump is the person who nominated and appointed Jerome Powell. Biden ain't had nothing to do with that. Well, you know, we're gonna blame Biden for everything that's wrong, right? That's crazy. Okay, so also yesterday, President Trump signed a bill targeting fentanyl trafficking. Families impacted by the fentanyl crisis stood behind Trump at the White House during the bill signing ceremony.

Trump said illicit drugs have disseminated American communities and his administration has declared an all-out war against dealers and traffickers. He also blamed the Biden administration for keeping the borders open and the reason why fentanyl is flowing into the country. The Halt All Lethal Trafficking of Fentanyl Act classifies all fentanyl related substances as Schedule 1 drugs. That means harsher penalties for people convicted of fentanyl related offenses. So you guys keep that in mind.

Elsewhere, a Colorado congressman is introducing a bill that would give illegal immigrants status, legal status, if they've been in the country for five years and are in good standing. Gabe Evans, along with Florida Republican Congresswoman Maria Salazar, are proposing the, quote, Dignity Act. Now, Evans says this is only open to those who have arrived in the U.S. before December 31, 2020, adding the plan would establish a $70 billion investment in the American workforce. Let's take a listen to Representative Gabe Evans of Colorado.

Colorado's 8th congressional district is 40 percent Hispanic, and we have lots of good, hardworking individuals in this district. Anybody that was looking to freeload off of the American taxpayer, anybody that exploited the white open border under the previous administration, those folks are just not eligible. So Evans goes on to say the bipartisan proposal doesn't offer a path to citizenship. The act would require immigrants to pay $7,000 in restitution and receive no federal benefits in exchange

for living and working in the US. This does seem to be quite a challenge for people or at least, you know, there's the workforce seems to be reducing, farmers seem to be impacted by, you know, what's going on. And so yeah, you know, this supposed legislation, the Dignity Act would allow, as said before, immigrants to pay $7,000 in restitution, but they would not have federal benefits and they would just be allowed to live and work in the US. So we'll see what happens with that legislation.

Angela Rye will be joining us. So we're gonna talk to Angela Rye when we come back. So don't go anywhere, it's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning everybody, it's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy, we are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building,

and friend to the room. Yes indeed. Ladies and gentlemen, Ms. Angela Rye. Hi, Fred. guest in the building and friend to the room. Yes indeed ladies and gentlemen, Miss Angela Rye Hi brother, how are you? I am good. I am you know making it you're living in the apocalypse But you know, we not okay. These are the best of times. Oh Optimism optimism. Okay. Praise the Lord everybody. I'm glad you are here. Your brother has been doing some disrespectful stuff. What have I been doing? Oh, praising. He has called ICE on me three times to try to get me shipped out of this country.

What's the problem? You did not do that. What's the problem? You didn't do that. I don't see the problem here. That's not funny. You didn't do that. I don't see the problem here.

See? And then Angela, he'd be rioting and just talking crap against the Democratic Party every day. That's true. That's factual. I know that that's true. And there are many- Angela Ryan doesn't too. Y'all want some Native Land vodka? There are many in the Democratic Party who deserve to be trash-talked.

Not as bad as these Republicans, since they're trying to take us back to 1863. I can argue that the Dems are the reason we're here, but that's a whole other- You could argue that, but that would be silly of you since 75 million people voted for this man. Yes, but why did they do that? Well, allegedly. But why did they do that? What do you mean why?

They did that because- Because some of them are bigots, because some of them are fascists, because some of them are sexists, because some of them are homophobic, because some of them got issues, and some of the others that were disenchanted. Before we get to that. Okay. Congratulations on your state of the people tour. You know what?

I would love to take the congratulations, but I got to tell you the tour was so eye opening. We're really hurting like as the people were really, really hurting is something and I'll say it publicly to you because we talked about it privately, I used to get so mad at Leonard for all the reasons, but at Leonard for the times where he was saying to me, I was out of touch. I would get so upset and I was, I'm like, where are you Ty? I spent my whole career like helping to craft legislation for our people doing jobs, like all of these things. But the truth is, even if you're, you know, out of touch for a week, for two weeks, for

a month, you can get really out of touch. And you're thinking, I'm helping people because I'm working on behalf of their best interests. But how do you work on behalf of somebody's best interests if you're not in community and talking with them? I don't know how I feel about you bringing private conversations to the radio. You do it all the time. What are you talking about? Can you not for two seconds do what you do? Okay. So my point is saying this. For two seconds I be yourself. Yes, just be quiet.

Be quiet for two seconds. But I was going to say that it was humbling, you know, like to go to a church and meet this woman with two young kids like under three who made a determination to come sit with us and get her light bill paid and didn't know if the car would make it to work. She had to get a jump at the church. You know, another woman who was a teacher in Atlanta who said that she goes to teach our students every day and then goes to sleep in her car at night. Yeah, I mean there's so many stories like that. We had a woman who volunteered with us in Newark who lives in a red roof inn and every day she is bringing groceries back home to the seniors who live in that facility, but she's struggling too. So we met these people, we were able to meet their needs,

but you all know like you go see something like that, you're ready to empty your bank account. You emptying your bank account, maybe y'all's will last a little longer than mine. We talking maybe about two or three weeks worth of relief, you know, for these people, we have to have structural systemic change in order for folks to really see a difference. And instead of people working to meet the most basic needs and relieve our folks, they're cut, they're creating cuts that are gonna hurt them even worse. That's gonna be on all of us because what I refuse to do is say,

well, we're gonna wait until people who are like-minded and more compassionate get in charge. No, that doesn't put food on their table tomorrow. So I've been like, what do we do to solve immediate needs to make sure that our folks know they can always turn to community and be okay? That is the black way, you know We we always look out for each other and I don't want to lose sight of that with all of this crazy infighting

That's so that's what the state of the people tour was like. What was it for people who don't yeah So it was a tour where we focus first on relief And then we also ensured that we had opportunities to listen to the community. What are you saying? What are you feeling? How are you? How is your life? What can we do to make it better? And then we also emphasize policy by creating a platform for our Black Papers Policy Initiative. You all know normally when it's a policy paper, it's called a white paper. We have black papers. So black papers was more than 700 pages of policy, now 34 papers, everything from healthcare to reparations, to education, early childhood education,

everything you could think of. We tried to cover mass incarceration, really ensuring that our folks know that they don't just have a project 2025 and we're sitting idly by. We have black experts from all over the country on all of these varying subject matters That can contribute to making your life better

And then finally we did it in coalition with more than 200 local and national organizations Black folks like this have not come together since the Bloods and the Crips came together to do that little mixtape back in the night So it was very good. Very very good Okay, I was gonna say so, you know, what can people do? Right. So usually, you know, fast food restaurants back in the day was the way to get cheap food and to feed a family. Right. But if you go to any of these fast food restaurants, a meal now is $15, $17. So it's expensive. Groceries are expensive.

So you're talking about the lady that was helping to feed, you know, other people in the red roof and she probably couldn't feed herself. So what do you tell people to do at this specific time? What could they do? What can they do? What's the change at? Where's the change coming from? I think the change comes from within. And by that, I'm not talking about find your food inside yourself. I'm talking about us, right? Like we have to change our mentality. We have more than enough. I was waking up my prayer every morning during the tour was, God, I thank you. We have everything we need. And that is the truth. So if we embody that and we say, okay, I have all of these extra clothes that I don't need. Can I give these away

to somebody in need? We have school supplies. I had $20 to give towards a child school supplies. There are all of the things that we have that we can make use of. And I think that is what's most important. Policy only works when you prioritize the needs of the people, when you're compassionate towards people, regardless of their immigration status, regardless of where they live, regardless of if you agree with them or not. Doing the right thing is, there's always the right time to do the right thing, to paraphrase Dr. King. And so I think some of that is about what can we do differently?

So I would ask people who wanted to join the tour, what do you feel called to do? And asking people to do exactly that. I think that's how we meet our most basic needs. I don't, I shouldn't do everything. I'm better at rapid response than long-term planning. I think some of that is undiagnosed ADD. Some of that is just what interests me. So I should be on the rapid response squad, but somebody else should be on the now what do we do to build out the long-term solution? So David Johns, who I know you all know has been on Breakfast Club, he ran our Black Papers Policy Initiative.

I was like, I know we need to do this, I'm too unfocused to do it, but he had 34 papers done in a month working with some of the best black experts around. What was the biggest thing you learned from the State of the People Marathon? Like one, if you had to take one takeaway. The marathon or the tour?

Well the tour, I'm sorry, the tour. So the tour was 12 cities and then we did a national assembly in Baltimore. I think the most important thing that I learned is that we can do anything when we put our minds to it. When we decide that our unity means more than anything else, we're just unstoppable. We are really unmatched.

So I learned that. I learned the importance of listening. I listened a lot more than I talked on that tour. And I think that that was abundantly important because I don't know how you change people's circumstances when you don't know what they are. We're still kicking with Angela Rye, Shalime. What do you think about President Obama critiquing Democrats and saying they need to

toughen up and take action? Don't it feel like too little too late? Don't it feel like he should have been saying that? I guess my issue right now with President Obama and Michelle Obama is they like out here doing Tiger Woods documentaries and they have this show which I'm not mad at, he actually was on her podcast talking about how young men don't feel seen in this in this new this new space.

And I think that that's true. However, if you can go on the podcast to talk about how young men don't feel seen, can you also talk about the snap cuts? Can you also talk about the Medicare and Medicaid cuts? And I think for me, if you all were saying that we were about to or this country was about to elect a fascist, why are you not treating fascism as it's just that critical? So I'm confused about why there is an expectation of Democrats or any elected official to do something different when they're doing exactly what you're doing. Right? So if you're treating all of this as normal, as normal times, we're

gonna go to Martha's Vineyard to hang out and we like nothing is different. Yeah, like they don't know what to do either. So we have these high expectations. And this is also why we started to say to the people of our elected officials like, okay, you got to meet the moment. You got to meet the moment. You got to meet the moment. Everybody, even if they don't say it out loud is saying saying, how? How do you meet this particular moment? And this moment is changing massively every single day, so how I meet it is going to continue to change. We're not giving them the grace to figure it out on the fly, but we're giving ourselves

that grace. And for me, I say, you know what? I'm demanding something of them that I'm not demanding of myself. If it is the last in evil days, as the mothers used to say in church for years and years and years, I really think it might be the last in evil days now, what am I going to do different? And if I'm not doing anything different, then I'm part of the problem. So that actually gives me hope.

That's why I was like, because my grandmother was saying the same thing in the eighties. It's the last time, it's the worst I ever seen it, that damn Reagan, blah, blah, blah. So it's just like, I don't know if we just, you know, going through what they went through and we made it through before, I don't know. Let me just tell you, the only caution I would offer us, and you're right, we have always said that and folks have always explained why it has been.

We have gotten progressively worse over the last decade at least. And what I would say is, if we think that this isn't the worst it's been, can you tell me why our civil and human rights have been rolled back 60-plus years in a matter of six months? Right? Like that is, I know some people are like, well I don't need civil rights, just give me my paper main, whatever. I don't know how you think you're gonna keep your paper main and you can't, you don't have any protections

The ways in which we're watching human rights abuses Come forth in this country vis-a-vis these deportation processes ice detention holding facilities where people Don't even have deportation orders and watching folks who look like us saying I don't care That's not my problem until you didn't realize that your little cousin daddy was Haitian you know until you didn't realize that your you know your favorite Jamaican spot is about to close down I keep trying not to do this in the terms of like what people

are giving us but just through our humanity like you are gonna be in a position really soon where somebody you did not know was that close to you is hit and I don't understand why I even need that. Like what's just about our humanity? Forget what should be given to someone who is a citizen here. What about humanity? And that is the thing that is really troubling me.

How do you feel about Democrats who all of a sudden have the courage and a procurring parentheses to tell the truth? Like when you see books like The Original Sin or you know, Corinne Jean-Pierre saying she's a independent now. Like why all of a sudden do they have the courage to speak truth to power, but they didn't do that

two, three years ago. I'm trying to figure out why you think it's all of a sudden. Like I think everybody. It definitely is all of a sudden. No, I think. Come on Angela, right. Okay, so do I have my own opinion? Yes. Thanks. So I just feel like if somebody. Okay, let me answer this question.

Hold on! Let me answer! But what was the original said about by Jake Tapper? It literally was about the cover-up that Democrats did... But I don't know if Jake Tapper identifies as a Democrat. He's on CNN every day talking to the left. And talking to the right. Okay. I don't know if Jake Tapper is a Democrat, brother. I really don't. So, okay, so what do you think about them? Just all of a sudden having the courage to tell us? I don't know that it's all of a sudden. I think they've been doing these You know expose a books for years. Jakes is the latest of those. I think that Kareen had I tell us after After it's too late Why didn't they say these things two years ago when they could have alerted the American people and the American people could have been like

You know what something is wrong with him. Maybe y'all shouldn't run a different candidate. Then probably wouldn't be in this situation. I don't know if I believe that. Um, I think that the lie was sexier to people than the truth. And they went with the lie and they knew Donald Trump, Donald Trump, Donald Trump, not Epstein, Donald Trump on the lie. Wasn't Joe Biden is okay. Remember, remember when he was saying that Joe Biden had dementia and you and Tiffany

got mad at him and was like, don't say that. Well, and I told you guys why I told you, I don't think it's funny. I told y'all why my grandmother literally was suffering from dementia and he still doesn't have dementia. He does not have dementia. I didn't say he had dementia. I said he's showing early signs of dementia. Okay, same thing. According to the original saying that we don't know. I said, just like Gia's mom.

Okay, well according to my own eyes, we do know he does not have dementia. I said he's showing early signs of dementia. I said, according to my own eyes, we do know he does not have dementia. I said, he was showing early signs of dementia. I said, just like Giz mom, because Giz mom had dementia. I said, he is showing early signs of dementia. Something ain't right. You just knew something was wrong and we knew he couldn't win in November. All I'm telling you is I was personally offended because my grandmother had dementia. So y'all got on my nerves that day because of that. Now as for what Corrine is doing and Jake, invite them on the show and ask them. I don't know, but what I can tell you is Corrine had her own experience

of being regularly challenged, her brilliance being challenged by white men who she was supposed to be sharing Facebook. She had to lie for that white man all the time. I'm not talking about that, Leonard. I'm talking about staff people as well. And so when you are being challenged by your peers rather than covered, because they don't want you in a role that would make that may, you know, jade you just a little bit, you might be a little frustrated by that. So I mean, I get it, you know, I feel like I've always been independent minded and voting down a democratic ticket because that's where my values are more aligned. Are they perfectly aligned? No, no, that's never

been the case. You ain't never seen me come up here talking about the Democratic party's the only way. That's not it, but I'm saying I know what for sure is not the way, I know what for sure is a dead end, quite literally, is on the other side of the aisle. So if we knew that, how come we didn't? Who is we? The people, because clearly,

like it was like 70% of people felt like they didn't want a Biden-Trump rematch, 56% of Democrats said that Joe Biden should not be. I think we all agree. I think we all agree with that. He told us initially he was going to do one term and that was the expectation that I think many of us had. So I never was like, Oh, please run Joe Biden again. I think we run the tape back.

Yes. I'm on here saying that. I'm sorry. I just want to say one thing. Let me ask you a question, right? You fought for Marilyn Mosby to get pardoned. Joe Biden didn't pardon him. Pardon his whole family.

Pardon his whole family. Right. Donald Trump pardons anybody that's cool with him all the time. Yeah. How did that make you feel? Did that make you feel like, like what Obama said, Democrats are cowards? Well, and I think, I think that the challenge that I will offer us to consider, and I'll respond to the question, but I just want us to contextualize this.

He is very crooked. He is violating the emoluments clause every single day. He is taking gifts from foreign governments to be persuaded, to be conflicted out of basic decisions. So I take issue with striving to be more like somebody who's very crooked, who had 88 indictments, but was 91. They dropped a few. Right. I have issues with trying to be more like corruption. I don't want an elected official to be corrupt. I will say it pissed me off that Joe Biden and the team that was advising him

Would not stand for this black woman I know of black people who worked in the White House Counsel's Office who were fighting for Maryland and they were not heard So it was devastating what I will say is very vindicating though for her at least is in her appeals case That was just recently heard her mortgage fraud conviction was overturned. I see now. They held the perjury up though. Which I think is bizarre too because I felt like the perjury was the weakest link. But I will say it is it is so vindicating she gets to keep the property that the

black judge who was appointed by Joe Biden told her she could not have and it needed to be forfeit she doesn't have to give up property, which I think is really important for her and her girls. So we're still kicking with Angela Ry. Jess, you mentioned the Epstein files earlier. Do you think that this can really, really hurt Trump? Because they don't really seem to care about it. Yeah, I don't. He doesn't seem to care about much. Nothing. I would say that it could hurt him, especially if the, you know, the fringe of his base, the folks who ascribed to all of the conspiracy theories continue to write it out and he doesn't respond in kind with actually unsealing the files or appointing a special prosecutor. I think it's bizarre that this man who he was friends with at least for two decades was on the private jet now He's not gonna release the files. Well, what's in there Donald Trump? Why you don't want to share it? I feel like Democrats should never stop talking about the Epstein files. Yeah, I agree because I feel like this is their

Transgender in women's sports issue. Yeah, I agree with that. I think that they should Talk about it because it also creates that same type of ambiguity, the cloud of corruption. He does what he wants to do whenever it's beneficial to him and he doesn't really care about you. I think that that is the most important thing they could say because there are a lot of people who were Trump supporters who are poor, broke, busted,

and disgusted, still down on their luck, still don't have anything to show for his election. So if you still don't have anything to show for it, but you see this man now has a multi-million dollar jet, his family is doing really well, his cryptocurrency soared on the other side of the inauguration, what do you have to show for it? How did you benefit? Because if you don't have anything to show for it? Well, what is your what is your vote really do? And it builds a bridge between Democrats and Magna. Ever since

Trump won, they've been trying to do that. Right? There's Gavin Newsom with his corny ass podcast, right? But I'm just saying, like, they're always trying to, you know, build support, build a bridge with Magna. Gavin tapped right into his whiteness, didn't he? He tapped right into his whiteness. In a very? He tapped right into his whiteness. In a very inauthentic way. Yeah.

But you know, this is an actual authentic way. Yeah. Because this is something that- Well, it's the truth. Yes. I think that there's nothing better than the truth. You always talk about how important it is to tell the truth. I think that too.

So we shouldn't be pontificating on conspiracy theories. We should be asking real questions. We don't know what's in the files. It's not a conspiracy theory anymore, it's a cover up. No, no, yeah, that's what I was gonna say. We don't know what's in the files, but you do, so release them. Make sure we all know.

Do you think the files haven't been released because if they do, it'll be mutually assured destruction? Meaning that high profile individuals from both parties are definitely probably in the files. Allies. Definitely probably. Absolutely. Allies, donors. Yeah, I really don't know what's in the know, high ranking diplomats.

I don't know what's in the files. And just based on what I just was saying, I don't want to deepen more into the conspiracy parts of it. What I would rather say is if your people ask for it, this is what you promise your people, make good on your promise. Be true to what you said on paper, man. And if I'm a Democrat and I'm, you know,

constantly staying on the Epstein files, even if I know that there are people from my party in there, they're probably people you need to throw under the bus anyway, because I feel like whoever is the future of the Democratic party has to throw the old regime under the bus. Especially if the old regime was engaging in child abuse. Yes.

I mean, you know, like there's no, we should, that should be a bipartisan or really a nonpartisan thing There are some things that we should not allow or hold to be acceptable. We shouldn't be covering up anything for anybody I want I wanted to ask you how do you feel about folks who may have supported Trump having buyers remorse now and Speaking out against it. Like is it the time to say I told you so or is it the time the coalition build? Oh, you want my higher self answer? I want you to stay answer Well, I have two answers. My first answer is something I should say on radio. Oh forget y'all I'll say it that way forget y'all like you really tried to tell you over and over again Like you are so foul my higher self answer is I think that

People make mistakes and some mistakes they make are extraordinarily costly like you are so foul. My higher self answer is I think that people make mistakes and some mistakes they make are extraordinarily costly. And so I would really want to understand how they got there and what do we do as a people to ensure that folks don't get there ever again. You know how they got there though. No I don't. Lennart, me and you disagree on this. I think there are multiple pathways to get to this dummy. Well I think for so long we've tried to tell people why they should care about politics

or why they should vote a certain way, but we don't talk to them to see why they voted that way. For me, when Donald Trump won, it wasn't a surprise. We were together when he won. It wasn't a surprise because I've been having these conversations. I can see where Democrats were missing the mark and where he was speaking to dinner table issues. Now, whether he wanted to do those things or not. But speaking to dinner table issues and knowing someone from their past four years in office is a liar and is not gonna look out for the least of these.

Not last year. We've had this conversation a million times. Not when that last year, them PPP checks was flying and them STEMI checks was flying. And now these PPP people's in jail. But, sure, but people will forget what you did, they'll forget what you said, they'll never forget how you made them feel.

Well, I wonder how they feel behind bars. Like, I think- All of them ain't behind bars, and some of them sitting in them trailers in South Carolina, they're living the life. They still got that Chrysler 300. Yes. Some of them living the best life.

Show me how good it can get today God and show the rest of the world what we already know. It can't get no better than being hella black, hella queer and hella Christian. My name is Joseph Rees. I am the creator and host of hella black, hella queer, hella Christian.

Check out Behind the Flow, a podcast documentary series following the launch of San Diego Football Club. We go behind the scenes and explore the stories of those involved. San Diego coming to MLS is going to be a game changer because this region has been hungry for a men's professional soccer team. We need veteran players and we need young players. Like you're building a team from scratch. And so the succession plan of long-term success needs to be defined. We need to embrace this community.

When I was 13, my uncle took me to a qualifier and we watched Paraguay against Chile, pouring rain, just watching the fans jumping up and down. I think that was definitely a watershed moment for me. Not only was that gonna be my game, but it was gonna be my life. Listen to San Diego FC Behind the Flow. Now on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Adventure should never come with a pause button. Remember the MoviePass era, where you could watch all the movies you wanted for just $9? It made zero sense, and I could not stop thinking about it.

I'm Bridget Todd, host of the tech podcast There Are No Girls on the Internet. On this new season, I'm talking to the innovators who are left out of the tech headlines, like the visionary behind MoviePass, Black founder Stacey Spikes, who was pushed out of MoviePass, the company that he founded. His story is wild, and it's currently the subject of a juicy new HBO documentary. We dive into how culture connects us. When you go to France or or you go to England,

or you go to Hong Kong, those kids are wearing Jordans, they're wearing Kobe shirt, they're watching Black Panther. And the challenges of being a Black founder. Close your eyes and tell me what a tech founder looks like. They're not gonna describe someone who looks like me, and they're not gonna describe someone who looks like you. I created There Are No girls on the internet because the future belongs to all of us. So listen to there are no girls on the internet on

the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcast or wherever you get your podcasts. Right now still waiting for another STEMI. And you know what they do every now and then? When the Doge Cuts was happening and everybody was getting mad we gonna give everybody $5,000 y'all just relax. Everybody's like yeah that's what we voted for. And where is that $5,000 now? I guess all I'm saying is, you know, at some point, people have to understand how the government works. Donald Trump didn't write a blank check.

He did sign the checks. Smart. I agree, it was smart. But in all of that, what I hope his supporters, and even people who are like indifferent, I hope what they see over time is that this man will do anything to promote himself and that is all that he's good at. He's not good at keeping his promises.

He's not good at telling the truth. He's not good at people first policy. He's good at promoting himself. That's it. What I hope everybody learns moving forward is America wants something different. When you look at the low approval ratings of Trump, when you look at the low approval rating of Republicans, you look at the low approval rating of Trump you look at the low approval rating of a Republican you look at the low approval ratings of Democrats America is ready for some America get something different right now. I wonder how much they like this difference

Yeah, but back in 18. What year you think we are right now? We in 2025. Yeah I'm just saying it's good went back all of this needs to be destroyed So what what can what can really be can be built. What do you think is going to be on the receiving end of the destruction though? I think that's the part. No, but it's, and it's going to be mostly people who look like us. Like that's the part that I think that we have to grapple with. It is so easy to say in a very privileged to say we need to destroy this whole thing, tear it all down. So now they're defunding the Department of Education or at least have the clearance to

do that. That's going to hurt our kids. Yeah, I know we like to say that. It's true. I don't disagree. I think it's just gonna hurt poor people. But we're disproportionately poor. We're disproportionately not paid what we what we deserve what we should earn.

Our businesses disproportionately suffer. Our access to contracts at the local, state, and federal level is disproportionately low. It is going to be us on the receiving end of these things. But I think this is the time where we need to look at what Martin Luther King Jr. was attempting to do before he was taken out, probably what he was taken out for,

which is bringing together poor and disenfranchised people of all colors because we need that whole coalition right now to topple what's currently in our federal government. Yeah, I think that's true. Black people cannot do it alone. I agree with that. We don't have the numbers, but I would say this. I am focused on black folks right now because I believe that we have to get our house in order first and then we can coalition build. I think normally what we've done

historically is we go out to the larger coalition before we're tight. I want to make sure that we're tight. Are we all aligned? Are we all good? Are we moving forward? Meeting our basic needs, advocating for what's in our best interest, then we grow out. That doesn't mean that you shouldn't be humane in your approach. Like you can still fight for other people's issues, but make sure your coalition this time. This is what we always argue because They're gonna happen Everybody on the same page

Everybody I don't think that everybody has to but I need a larger group of us to that's why Noah Just took animals on the ark because he knew that them wasn't coming because he knew that them n****s wasn't coming. No way. All right. All right. To Angela Ry, we thank you for joining us so much. Let me just get the giraffes there. That's the reason.

All giraffes will. All right. Well, it's Angela Ry. Hold on. Tell them where to follow you, Angela Ry. At Angela Ry on Instagram. Yeah, at Native Land Pod. Make sure you subscribe to Native Land Podcast.

We drop every Thursday. All right. Well, it's Angela Ry. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to the latest with Lauren.

Lauren becoming a straight face. She gets into somebody that knows somebody. She gets the details. I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about everything. She be having the latest on you. The latest with Lauren LaRosa. Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details, sometimes you have a little bit of air.

Sometimes you have a little bit of air. Sometimes you have a little bit of air. Sometimes you have a little bit of air. Sometimes you have a little bit of air. Sometimes you have a little bit of air. Sometimes you have a little bit of air. Sometimes you have a little bit of air. Sometimes you have a little bit of air. Sometimes you have a little bit of air. Sometimes you have a little bit of air. So, Maureen Comey, the prosecutor who worked on Diddy's trial most recently, she also worked on the Epstein case and the Jaseen Maxwell. How you say her name, Charlamagne?

Jazane Maxwell? First name. You know I don't know how to pronounce that. Well that, that tie to the Epstein case as well has been fired as of yesterday. So the report came out that she was fired. She's famously the daughter of FBI director James Comey. Now it is unclear why she was fired at this time,

but the sources that spoke to this report who had to speak and be anonymous provided information that in the letter that she was given that revealed her firing, it did mention the executive power of the president to do so. So people are speculating and reports are speculating that her firing would have to do with any of those cases that we just mentioned. When it comes to Diddy there was Conversation about did the prosecution in the government overreach when it comes to Epstein, you know

There's been a lot of heat recently. We talked about the this here a lot I know you gave them donkey today recently for this to just though that they're handling the Epstein files or the fact that her Dad has a long-standing beef with Donald Trump Those are the things that people are speculating may have led to the firing, but we do not know exactly what the reasoning was. But this news just broke yesterday. Big deal, especially with everything that just recently happened in Diddy's trial. People are wondering what this is going to mean for him sentencing wise, if it will even mean anything at all. Did you reach out to any sources to ask Lauren?

I did. I did reach out but I haven't heard anything back yet. But the reason why I reached out yesterday when I saw this firing and asked was because when Diddy was denied the bond, the Marine Comey was the person who stood up and ran down all the reasons why and alleged that you know he was a vicious man and should be locked up. He's a threat to the community. There's nothing exceptional here that they should disregard any sentencing or bond hearing rules that the defense was asking for. Of course, she was doing her job, but it was a big thing and big conversation that people

felt like, not felt like, his team actually said in the court that they believe that he was being targeted by the government. And Maureen Comey led the charge on that. So you know, I was just wondering how will this make things change for him at all? Like will there be another bond hearing if at all possible? Will you know, this make his sentencing be looked at differently because the prosecutor they're going to have to hire and replace, but this person won't be as attached to the case as she was. So yeah, so I did reach out but I haven't heard anything back yet but I will keep you guys up to date on that because that's a big question that people have right now.

It is crazy. Yeah, but speak. Go ahead. Somebody's up to say something. Okay. Speaking of Epstein, very crazy set way that brings us to the sbs. So Last night the sbs went down. Excuse me. Just take this listen. I got Crazy, it's going to make sense last night that the sbs went down Shane Gillis hosted and He had a few jokes while on stage that the people were really not feeling One of the jokes that he actually performed was about Epstein. Let's take a listen.

Donald Trump wants to stage a UFC fight on the White House lawn. The last time he staged a fight in DC, Mike Pence almost died. All right. You don't have to do that. Hilarious. It was fine. I didn't write it. Hilarious. Actually, there was supposed to be an Epstein joke here, but as it got deleted, it must have probably deleted itself, right?

Probably never existed. Hilarious. Actually, let's move on as a country and ignore that. I chuckle. Hilarious. Wait. Drop one of Clues Bonds for Shane Gillis. Hilarious.

I chuckle. No, listen to this one. So then this is in his opening monologue. He then gets into uh, Caitlin Clark and Shador Sanders. Let's take a listen. Shador Sanders had his jersey number retired at Colorado this year and people are saying it's because of nepotism because of his father and it's not. It's because he went 13 and 12 over his career and he almost won the Alamo bowl. Definitely not nepotism, right? Alright. So big year for

the WNBA. I love Caitlin Clark. Yeah, hell yeah. Caitlin Clark, she and I have a lot in common. We're both whites from the Midwest who have nailed a bunch of threes. There you go. Lighten up a little. We'll see about this one. When Caitlin Clark retires from the WNBA, she's going to work at a Waffle House so she can continue doing what she loves most, fist fighting black women. Wow. Polaris. Okay. Wow.

Okay, what y'all say? That's Polaris. Okay. Wow. Yes. I mean, if you don't know Shane Gillison, you don't know his delivery. You don't know the dry sense of humor. You don't. You might not get it.

But I mean, I guess because I watch Shane Gillis, I get it. I thought that was hilarious to me. The Epstein joke was hilarious. Yes. So that took place last. Go ahead. Somebody say something. It sounds like y'all.

Maybe the feedback is late. Probably. You need to stop drinking in the morning. I didn't drink a thing. What are you talking about? I'm trying to make sure I get it. I didn't drink a thing. What are we talking about? I'm trying to make sure I didn't drink anything. She did. So the SBs went down yesterday in LA and outside of the jokes that went down, people, you know, they got awarded for some pretty big things. I want to make sure that we mentioned Simone Biles won an SB for best athlete in women's sports, best championship performance. SGA won, I'm always trying to pronounce his

name, SGA won an SB for best athlete in men's sport. The Philadelphia Eagles won best team, Kaitlyn Clark won best WNBA player with Indiana Fever. Cooper Flagg won best college athlete, Juju Watkins best college athlete. That's many women's sports. Y'all know Cooper Flagg is at Duke and Juju Watkins is at USC so congratulations to them and it was just a birthday so that's what's up, Gigi Yes, congratulations to them. There was one more joke to as we close. I thought this one was funny as well Shane Gillis on Travis Hunter Travis Hunter won the won the Heisman Trophy this year. He's the first defensive player since Charles Woodson to win the Heisman. Congratulations Travis Hunter. Winning the Heisman, that's something they can never take away from you.

Unless you kill your wife and a waiter. In which case they can take that away from you. Did y'all get the joke? No. Of course. OJ joke. OJ! OJ!

OJ! OJ! If you kill your wife and a waiter. A wife and a waiter. That's the only way they can take it away. I chuckled for that one. I caught that immediately. I thought he was so good. But y'all know how people get caught that immediately listen to the game And be just answered whether he's a pitcher or a catcher You know what forget it. Jess! Oh my God! I don't know what finger you use for a prostate exam. This guy's crazy. This guy is soliciting prostate exams on the radio.

You a wild boy man. You said which finger do I use? God dang! I was talking about clocking it man. Pause. Oh here you go. Diddy just comes out of nowhere. You know what forget y'all. This is not a safe place for me this morning where do you work where do I work I know right look at us

all right donkey of the day is up next okay and I need Donald J Trump to come to the front of the congregation we'd like to have a word with him please again that's twice this week pause this is worth it it's the breakfast club it's the breakfast club your mornings will never be the same donald j trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of muslims entering the united states wouldn't you love to see one of these nfl owners when somebody disrespects our flag to say get that son of a bitch off the field right now. Out, he's fired. He's fired! Please step up to the congregation.

Yes, you are a donkey. Love, doubt, Trump. When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best. They're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime, they're rapists. He's a jackass. Yes, Donkey of the Day for Thursday, July 17th goes to the President of the United States

of America, Donald J. Trump. Now, this is Trump's second donkey this week. Okay, earlier this week, I gave him Donkey for the obvious lie, the obvious cover up that is coming from the administration in regards to the Epstein Files. They told us the Epstein Files didn't exist. It's a hoax created by Democrats, even though US Attorney General Pam Bondi said she had it on her desk, even though 211 House Republicans voted to block the release of the Epstein Files. So 211 people voted to block something. That's a hoax. They voted to block something that's completely made up.

Well, MAGA has finally realized that that that that's not rain coming down on their head. It's actually Trump's urine. Okay kids back in my day we had a saying and the saying was don't piss on my head and tell me it's raining that simply means don't try to deceive me. Okay peeing on somebody's head is disrespectful and I would assume unpleasant. Then telling them it's rain and not pee means you are intentionally lying to them. Okay, you are playing in my face on purpose or in this case, peeing in my face on purpose

and telling me it's rain. Okay, well, for the first time that I can remember, MAGA can smell the pee. Okay, Trump supporters, people who voted for Trump are recognizing the distinct odor of urine. Maybe Trump added asparagus to his diet. I'm not sure, but something finally has Trump supporters recognizing the Russian prostitutes peeing on them, allegedly, as rain. Okay? Well, Trump is attempting to pee on you again, because yesterday he was letting people know

he don't really fool with Federal Reserve Chairman, Jerome Powell. In fact, Trump thinks he's a terrible Federal Reserve Chairman. Let's listen. I was surprised frankly that Biden put him in and extended him, but they did. Play that one more time for me, Red. He's a terrible, he's a terrible Fed chair. I was surprised he was appointed. I was surprised frankly that Biden put him in and extended him, but they did. Trump said he was surprised that Powell had been nominated and surprised that he was appointed. And he said former President Joe Biden actually put Jerome Powell in. I'm gonna tell you something,

man. Trump treats the Biden administration the way unhappy, disgruntled people treat Rock Nation. Okay, when things aren't going the way you want them to for whatever reason blame rock nation. And it's the same with Trump and the Trump administration. The Trump administration talked about the F-Team files religiously only to now tell us they don't exist. And it's a democratic hoax. Now he hates Jerome Powell and can't believe Biden nominated and appointed him. But there's one problem with that. One problem with that, y'all. Biden didn't nominate our appoint Jerome Powell. Donald Trump did. Donald Trump nominated him on November 2nd, 2017. Senate confirmed it on January 23rd, 2018, and Powell was sworn in on February 2nd, 2018.

Maybe y'all don't believe me, so maybe you need to hear it from the president himself. Let's listen. Maybe y'all don't believe me, so maybe you need to hear it from the president himself. Let's listen. Accordingly, it is my pleasure and my honor to announce my nomination of Jerome Powell to be the next chairman of the Federal Reserve. I am confident that with Jay as a wise steward of the Federal Reserve, it will have the leadership it needs in the years to come. Play it one more time for me, Ray. I just want to make sure I heard what I heard.

Accordingly, it is my pleasure and my honor to announce my nomination of Jerome Powell to be the next chairman of the Federal Reserve. I am confident that with Jay as a wise steward of the Federal Reserve, it will have the leadership it needs in the years to come. Magga, get your granddaddy. Okay, what is Pop Pop doing? Alright, listen, now that it has come to your attention that they are lying to you about the Epstein files, now that there is a chink in the armor, will you recognize all the other lies you are being told? Because this is the latest, most obvious one, and it's just Thursday! Okay, the lies about the Epstein Files just started, and you're giving

us another obvious one so soon? Wow! Wow! Maga, I just want you to know, in case nobody told you, heavy urine is falling, okay, as we we speak all right and radar shows more on the way through your morning commute and evening hours I know it's a soggy start to the day okay it's been widespread piss already moving through the area all week and it's expected to stick around for about three and a half more years hell probably longer because you think that Trump 2008 talk you think that's just rain too huh? Nope. Pee showers are ongoing with occasional downpours and conditions will remain wet through the next several hours or until y'all get fed up

and demand more from your president. Okay, I don't even know what that means. All right, I don't even know what that looks like. But in the meantime, grab your umbrella if you haven't already because it's peeing out there right now. Please give President Donald J. Trump the biggest e-ho. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey today, sir. Yes indeed. All right. When we come back, just fix my mess.

If you have, if you need relationship advice or you have relationship problems, you can call right now, 800-585-1051. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning the Breakfast Club X about me relationship problems X about me you need to beat your co-workers ass X about me your co-worker need to be so I call it up Dr. Jess and I'm here to fix your mess It's getting very much messy. Let me fix it

Dr. Jess and I'm here to fix your mess. It's getting very much messy. Let me fix it. Morning everybody, it's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy, we are the breakfast club. It's time for Jess fix my mess. Hello, who's this? Hey, is this Jess? Yes, this is Jess. What's up? What's wrong? So first of all, thank y'all for taking my call. Hey Charlamagne,ane, DJ Enzi. I wanna shout out my dad, Calvin. We're on our way to our family reunion and we were tuning in this morning and listening to the show and I was like,

I gotta call you. Nice. So Mike, it's not really a question, it's a comment. So I'm single and I'm almost in my 40s and there's this pervasive narrative that I think a lot of times the value of women is attached to them being in a relationship or being married.

My question, I guess it's kind of a question to you Jess, is how do we better support our single friends and kind of changing that narrative so that so much stock isn't put on, oh you must be that much more valuable in whatever way because you are in a committed relationship. So just want to know your thoughts on that. So you're not in a relationship but you obviously have friends that are in a committed relationship. So just let me know your thoughts on that. So you're not in a relationship, but you obviously have friends that are in marriages and relationships and you feel slighted because, isn't she trying to understand how it-

No, no, I wouldn't say I feel slighted, but what I will say is that I feel like society as a whole has a preference for a woman has more value if they are in there. Like you'll hear things like if you're in church, well, when are you going to get married? And if you're married, when you're going to have kids, even sometimes tuning into the breakfast club, I kind of hear some of the puns that some of the women that are still single. So I'm just wondering how do we better change that narrative to support women in whatever stage of life that they're in?

I mean, obviously I've lived you. I mean, I really don't even think like that, to be honest. I understand how you feel when you hear the jokes, you hear the puns up here, you know, when we refer to single women. But it's like, no, I mean, every woman just individually, I think thrives and whatever she does, if she's bettering herself every day, if she's living right, you know, nobody's perfect. But you have qualities.

Every woman has qualities, whether they are married, single, you know, in between relationships. Some women are just naturally lovers. Some people find their person before others. If you feel like you are a woman that you you don't want a relationship, you're not ready to be in a relationship because of everything you got going on or just because you're trying to find yourself and you know love on yourself. I don't think there's anything wrong with that.

How do we support that? It's just speaking that into every sister, you know what I mean? Absolutely. Yeah, absolutely. But you are single, right? You said? Yes, I am happily. But you are single, right? You said? Yes, I am. Happily. Happily single? So look, live in that, thrive in that, because maybe it's not for you just yet.

Mmm, that's good. Thank you so much. Yes, I appreciate that. No problem. I love you, happily single girl. I love you too. God bless one. You too. Hello, who's this? Yeah, can you hear me? Yes, girl. What's up? How you doing? Hey, I'm good. Hey, Jazz. Hey, who's this? Yeah, can you hear me? Yes girl. What's up? How you doing? Hey, I'm good. Hey Jess Hey, what's wrong?

So I have a question today. I just got off of work, but I'm okay So me and my sister were in like a little disagreement or whatnot Because she wanted me to drive an hour and a half to go meet her to go pick my nephew up Because of you know parental things But I'm like, he knows that I work two jobs, 16 hours a day, six days a week, and I go to school. And I'm a mom as well. And so, yes I do work from home,

but I also have a job, my second job, where I go outside. And she was like, I thought I was tired, I was like, I just can't do it, I'm tired. Can you just meet me at my house, which is like a two and a half hour drive. And she was like, well, I work in the elements. What are you saying? Like, I'm tired too. Yeah, but she only work on job. Okay. So she's mad at you currently. Yeah, like we're not speaking.

Yo, well, look, too bad. So goddamn sad. Just pray on that because she's his mother. Like, she's his mother. Like, what do you mean? The fact that she has the audacity to be upset with you for not being able to pick up her son one time when you have your own children, you're a mom, you work two jobs, you live far away. Like, that's not, he's not your responsibility. He is your family.

I know you love him, but he is not your responsibility. At the end of the day, that's pretty audacious for her to be upset with you. I would say pray on that. Don't go too long without talking to your sister, but sometimes it needs to be a distance created there because obviously she got too comfortable with you helping her out. Yeah and I typically I don't mind getting him like during the summertime, even for a month or whatever but this time I just could not do it because this year, this summer is different.

But like all this but all this because because because you should not have to explain that life happening life is happening to everybody. Listen, like your sister has to, she got to let that marinate for a minute. You got to let that, let her do her for a minute and then when y'all reconvene, you got to tell her like, you know what I was wrong. That was very selfish of you to be upset with me because I couldn't do something for you. Yeah, and I attempted to talk to her about it, not to cut you off, but I attempted to talk to her about it. And I guess because she felt like it should be over with, like I should have moved past it. And she doesn't understand that I would like an apology. Yeah.

And she was like, well, I don't know what you're looking for. I'm like, I really just said an apology, like at least something to acknowledge that you directly dismissed like my whole situation. Yeah, she got yeah, she got me put on ice. She understand later. Not right now. She got me put on ice. She's way too entitled. Okay, well, thank you. Yeah, I know it doesn't feel good right now, but it won't be forever. Trust me. People just got to learn lessons. I definitely understand. Well, thank you. I definitely appreciate it. And I hope you have a great day. Thank you. And Marlee is so beautiful, by the way.

Thank you. Thank you so much. You're welcome. Have a great day. You too, babe. Hello, who's this? Hey Jess, this is Deon. What's up, what's up?

Okay, question for you. Ain't gonna waste anybody's time. So I've been in a relationship for five years and I've lived with my girlfriend for four. And she wants me to put a ring on her finger. I learned from other people's mistakes and marriage has never been successful in my family. So my question to you is, what do you think?

I mean, do you think, is it wrong that I'm not putting a ring on her finger being that we've been together for this long? I mean, look at Imane Schumpert. Oh, God, no, you're not throwing n****s at me. Show me how good it can get today, God, and show the rest of the world what we already know. It can't get no better than being hella black, hella queer,

Check out Behind the Flow, a podcast documentary series

following the launch of San Diego Football Club. We go behind the scenes and explore the stories of those involved. San Diego coming to MLS is going to be a game changer because this region has been hungry for a men's professional soccer team. We need veteran players and we need young players. Like, you're building a team from scratch, and so the succession plan of long-term success needs to be defined.

We need to embrace this community. When I was 13, my uncle took me to a qualifier, and we watched Paraguay against Chile, pouring rain, just watching the fans jumping up and down. I think that was definitely a watershed moment for me. Not only was that going to be my game, but it was going to be my life.

Song and artist comparisons, competition in the scene. There is competition, there is sides to this. There's Pesoplooma, Double P, and there's JOP, Street Mob. I think at the end of the day, it's business, it's all competition. And of course, our personal stories and opinions along the way. This isn't just a podcast, it's a movement for fans who live music mexicana every single day.

Listen to Agustapapa as part of the MyCultura podcast network on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Adventures should never come with a pause button. Remember the movie pass era? Where you could watch all the movies you wanted for just $9? It made zero sense and I could not stop thinking about it. I'm Richard Todd, host of the Tech Podcast, There Are No Girls on the Internet. On this new season, I'm talking to the innovators who are left out of the tech headlines, like the visionary behind MoviePass, Black founder Stacey Spikes, who was pushed out of MoviePass,

the company that he founded. His story is wild and it's currently the subject of a juicy new HBO documentary. We dive into how culture connects us. When you go to France or you go to England or you go to Hong Kong, those kids are wearing Jordans, they're wearing Kobe's shirt, they're watching Black Panther. And the challenges of being a Black founder. Close your eyes and tell me what a tech founder looks like. They're not going to describe someone who looks like me like. They're not gonna describe someone who looks like me

and they're not gonna describe someone who looks like you. I created There Are No Girls on the internet because the future belongs to all of us. So listen to There Are No Girls on the internet on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. No, you not. I'm trying to fix your mask and you throwing other...

No. You know you sound like those things you want to throw people out there. You sound like Clay from Lovers Blind. That's who you're giving. All right, because you're telling me... I know you love your girlfriend, but you're telling me basically that what's holding you back is the fact that you've been...

You're from a family where you've seen marriage only fail. So that makes you scared. That gives you doubt, right? And I'm not saying that's unreal because that happens. So now you're conditioned to stigmatize marriage in a way where it's negative because it doesn't last from what you've seen. That's not, that doesn't have to be a reality though. You get what I'm saying? That's why I compared you to Clay because that's what he was saying. Oh love is blind But either way back to you. Yeah, that doesn't have to be a reality You could break that you know that right cuz you love your girlfriend

What what would happen so wrong by marrying her after marrying her if you've been with her already for a consistent? I'm assuming happily four years five years.'s kind of rollercoaster ride for sure. Okay. You know, I just disagree with the legal side of it. It just, it never works out for the man, you know what I'm saying? Right now, this is not my priority. Never is really strong. That's a really strong word because we know people that we clearly see marriages that has stood

the test of time. We see successful marriages, we see happy marriages, we see a lot of unhealthy marriages, divorces, but there still are marriages out there that last. So what would you do if she left you? Just curious. She left me. I would keep it pushing. To be honest with you, it would hurt. But would you care? Because everything is so familiar. You know what I mean? So I don't know. She's been pushing it on me for a while now. So, you know, I kind of hit a plateau. And I really don't have any mentorship, you know, I live in a state by myself, so

it's just me. You know, so this is where I'm at. But would you be willing to like, get therapy for that? Like, would you be willing to, because there is mentorship out here, you know, is that, you know, does it really matter to you to try to evolve in a way where you can see marriage in a positive light in your future with her. If not, I think you should let her go because that's what she wants. And if you can't make her happy and you know, because it's not like you could give a damn about it. It's not a priority for you, you know, you just say, yo, I keep it pushing. So if it's that, I think maybe you should let her go. You know, if

you know that's what she wants and you'll never be able to give her that because that's not just in your ministry. That's not what you want. That's true. You're right. Yeah. Because you'd be selfish keeping her around knowing that you ain't gonna never give her what she wants. Ultimately. That's true. That's true. Yeah. But you think therapy will be wise? I think it would be wise. And I think the fact that you even asked about or mentioned mentorship means that you do want to try. There is some interest in marriage one day. Yeah, I ain't gonna lie, I have my days for sure.

But when the arguments kick in, I live with her. I'm sure you know how that is. Yes You know, it's hard. Yeah, it's not it's not gonna be easy You know nothing is easy. Nothing we're fighting for is easy. We wouldn't have to fight You know what I mean? Like and mind you and mind you like I'm a poor monogamy You know, we've been moving like we're married just without the papers. So, yeah, that's just where I'm at for real. I got you, but nah, seek the mentorship for real.

Talk to somebody. You don't wanna throw it away. I hear it now. At first you was all cool and smooth and, I'm gonna keep it pushing but not I should girl You know, so um seek the mentorship for real talk to somebody. Okay. Okay. I'll do that Yeah, and then check in with me, you know later. Okay. All right. Thank you All right. That was just fix my mess

If you ever have relationship issues, you can call her 800-585-1051. All right, the latest with Lauren up next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club Yep it's the world's most dangerous morning show at the Breakfast Club. Charlamagne the God, Jessi Larris, DJ Envy is around here somewhere but it's time for the latest with Lauren. Lauren be coming with straight face. Tell her, tell her, man! She gets in from somebody that knows somebody. She gets the details. I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about everything.

She be having the latest on it. Say she stay out of the things. The latest with Lauren LaRosa. Sometimes she have facts, sometimes she have details, sometimes she have a little bit of everything. Well, it's the latest. On The Breakfast Club. Talk to me! So Jess Hilarious, you sat down with Carlos King.

You addressed some things. Let's take a listen to Jess on Carlos King. Shout out to Miss Pat. I was going to do Miss Pat Settles It for a few episodes. And because of that statement that I said, only women can have babies. Shout out to Miss Pat. It wasn't her. They fought for me.

A few producers over there fought for me as well. But that was the comment that cost me that opportunity. So Jess, so you weren't able to do Miss Pat Settles It? I wasn't able to do it because of that comment that I got a phone call from my agents and my manager. They was on three-way and they told me and I was like, well what was it? And then they said that was the thing I said that. What the reality of the situation is, free speech ain't free.

We know that. Like, you know, there is a cost to everything that comes out of our mouths. That's right. It is what it is. Yeah, well, if you guys wanna watch that full interview, make sure you go check it out. It's on Carlos King's YouTube channel.

Full interview that you did right here from Breakfast Club. It was a great interview, by the way. I feel like you had a good interview. Don't get it twisted. Jess is, you know, like Charlamagne said, free speech isn't free, but Jess is not losing no sleep over it. No, no, no. Like she's flourishing. She's popping, but you know what it is, what it is. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No.

No. But I do think that, you know, the producers or whoever made that call, like, you know, they should put a name on their statement. Exactly. You know, like you shouldn't just be able to say that. Like people should, like since you know how Jess feels about a situation, well we should know how you feel about the situation too. So then we can make our own decisions on whether or not we want to support what you're doing. Exactly. I was just told that Ms. Pat fought for me and a few producers, but they didn't say who made the decision or whatever. They just told me that that was the comment that I said

that costed me that opportunity. Well, I thought you handled the conversation great. Thank you. Thank you. The conversation was cool. Yeah, it was giving Jessica Robin more, not just hilarious. I thought that was amazing. Thank you.

Now in other controversial conversations, Portia Williams and Drew Sedora. So they sat down for the Real Housewives of Atlanta reunion and y'all, we started some trouble. What was the theme? Like as for like, you know, like Hercules. I love Phasers. She looked good. But I'm like, what was the, you know, the bronze on her head?

Um, it was like gladiator bodywear going on. I don't know. They all looked beautiful, but what was the theme? I'll get into what the theme was because I don't know for sure. I just knew they were all dressed alike. They brought the Breakfast Club up on the reunion and they were referencing a conversation that we had with Drew Sedura when she was up here when her and Portia were going through the thick of their beef.

Let's take a listen to Drew and Portia talking about the Breakfast Club on the reunion. Of all of the producers in Atlanta, why choose Dennis? I guess you said damn good music. We didn't realize he was a- Well, I said damn good music because of her album. Her album is really, really good. Her album is cute. I received that. I appreciate that. All right.

I would never come down on your brand or who you are or your talents the way you did just now at breakfast club You talked about my hair company You don't like the hair just because of this issue It's interesting that you want to poke the bear and then you get mad when I when I have a reaction Now let's take a listen to what Drew said here on the breakfast. So we know why Portia was mad So, you know what her go naked hairline is? I literally was about to ask. So that's not go naked hair.

This right now? Yes. No, this looks good. The hair that I'm wearing in the sit down where you saw the bangs, that's, I wore it in real time because when you put it through a one two edit, how I made it look, it looked great.

But in person, y'all saw it right? That was go naked there. So are you an ambassador for Go Naked? Big shit. No, no, no. You're not an ambassador. No, I have a great vendor, she's melted. We're good.

So you don't like Go Naked hair, what you're saying? I mean, it just didn't work for me per se. When you go to bleach blonde it, it did something. Yeah, so I mean, I can understand what Portia is saying, but they weren't the thick of the beef. Y'all know Portia was saying that like, we thought that Drew was like low key being sneaky with Dennis because of the way it was being portrayed.

And they addressed that on the reunion as well on this first part of the reunion. And it ended in Portia and Drew actually making up a bit. Let's take a listen to Drew and Portia. Portia apologizes to Drew. Chadwick from Ohio said, Portia, now that you've seen the season, do you think you owe Drew an apology for the way you treated her from what we saw on the show?

The relationship between her and Dennis was all business. My God. I genuinely wanted to come today. One of the main things I wanted to do was to number one apologize for meeting with Ralph. Did you do it to be petty?

Of course. Yeah. But watching the season back, even though at the time I felt justified. You still didn't feel good about it. I still did not feel good about it,

Drew. And I cared about you. I really did. And so today I definitely knew I wanted to apologize for that. Because no matter how upset we are with the situation, it still could have been talked through.

I just want to tell you, woman to woman who's also going through a divorce, it wasn't right. And I apologize for that. Yeah. What she's talking about is Shamiah, Portia and Drew's estranged husband who lives in her basement that she's going through things with. They all sat down at a dinner lunch thing and it was really messy. It was really, really bad. So they threw shots the whole season.

Somehow we got brought into it and here we are. And uh, what you mean somehow we brought into it? The Porsche was up here. Your bitch was up here. Y'all know what y'all be asking them people? How about somehow? Y'all are messy.

This is a messy ass show. It is. What, the Real Housewives? I would like to say though. Us. The Breakfast Club. And I would like to say that the Breakfast Breakfast Club, and I would like to say that the Breakfast Club BS really transcends all demos and genres from the screaming world to reality TV.

You can find some Breakfast Club BS, okay? We're in the fabric of all facets of culture. You hear me? We all love this place. We have like fecal matter. You're going to find a little bit of fecal matter everywhere. That Breakfast Club BS, that Breakfast Club fecal matter is a little bit of everywhere. You hear me?

Tone that tone, that's right. You can see us everywhere, you can see us reality. You can see us at Diddy's trial, you see us everywhere. See, see, look at him. What, Andy Cohen, you know what? You can see us at Diddy's trial. You didn't even have to add that little bit of nasty ass ass at the end.

Yeah. That Gibbity goo-gee, that Gibbity goo-gee. That goo-blu-gosh. I don't know what you had to clean up at the free call. Goo-blu-gosh That gibbity gooji. I remember you had to clean up at the freak office. Goobly gosh. Goobly gosh. I'm so confused.

That's what Diddy used to tell him. You go clean that goobly gosh off that man's chest and bring it over here and rub it on my nipple. The fecal matter. I hate this place. Yo. Jess, their office was inspired by a Grenada too because they went to Grenada during the season. Where?

The Hoover Housewives. Oh nice, okay That's it y'all all right, well, thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you Lauren for the latest My name I forgot it's okay Why you so unforgettable to the men in your life? Like I need time to soak in that like can you not today?

Um, because you know, I'm an ambassador for the food bank of NYC and I love what the food bank, because they are really out there taking care of those of us who need it. They're one of those programs that you know, federal funding is definitely impacting, and it shouldn't be impacting people like that, because they are out there really, really, really truly truly doing the work. So we was out there, you know, you know, giving

out goods and you know, I had the ice cream truck pull up for the people at the Bronx River Community Center, man. So salute to all the kids we saw yesterday at the Bronx River Community Center.

If you want to support the Food Bank of New York City, go to foodbanknyc.org. Like my guy Killer Mike says, if everybody does a little, nobody has to do a lot. And like I previously said, man, when you see these programs like that,

having federal cuts and it's impacting the bottom line, they're not able to take care of the people who need it without that money. So if the federal government not gonna help, then we really, really got to do our part. So foodbanknyc.org, donate a dollar, but throw them something because they really are out here doing the work.
