Yeah, we did go to the gym after that film.
Yeah, I had to film something, but he went with me to film because I didn't want to go.
Why would I ask you what you did last night?
You was like, nothing.
Because that was, that's true.
I went to sleep.

I hate what somebody can't take a compliment.
Never mind.
You look ugly.
Thank you.
I appreciate you.
Welcome.
Listen, today on the show, we have a Christian-based artist who has a new album that I can't pronounce, but Jess, you probably can because you have Mexican.
Via Doroosa.
Yes.
It is out the day.
His name is Miles Minnick, all right?
Miles is very dope.
You've heard Miles mentioned up here a couple of times by a couple of other artists, but he will be here this morning to talk about his new.
album, which is out today.
And former chair of
the Democratic National Committee,
my South Carolina brethren Jamie Harrison

Nice, nice, nice. Yeah, so we'll be talking to them.
So I guess we got a great show

So wait, wait, wait, wait, so he's Christian-based, but he's
Spanish?
Huh? He, a Spanish Christian?
I don't know, Jess. We'll find out this morning. We can ask him
what his ethnicity is. I have no idea.
Okay. I just know you don't.
My man DJ head put me on the miles a while ago.
I just think he dope.
He got an album coming out.
You know what I mean?
He makes spiritual slaps.
Nice.
You know what I'm saying?
So he's from the West Coast.
So he makes those records that slap with a Christian base, you know?
Okay.
Yeah, he got a joint album with LaCray as well.
Okay.
Yeah, so we'll be talking to him this morning.
But we got donkey today, and it's actually the people's donkey this morning.
So you can call in 1-800-585-101 and give somebody the credit they deserve for being stupid.
And I think we're ready to get the show started me.
Yes.
Jackson, birthday would have been a day.
Really?
Yes.
Start to show with some Michael then.
Absolutely.
Pull up some Michael.
Yes.
Pull up some Michael.
Michael Jackson.
Let's start to show off with off the wall.
Is off the wall in there?
Please.
Michael Jackson.
And he would have been...
I don't even know.
Stop.
Damn.
Come in here, late, rap.
That's not your rap.
I'm going to age, all.
You don't really genuinely look scared.
Like, you were so fearful just now.
He grabbed your little nip.
Come on, what we got from Michael Jackson.
It's a shame that a black radio.
It took so long to pull up Michael Jackson.
You know it's Michael Jackson.
Off the wall?
Okay.
All right.
We got Mimi Brown coming up next with front page dudes.
Let's get into Michael Jackson off the wall.
Today is his birthday.
He'd have been an age.
Yes.
The U.S. opens in New York City, so traffic is stupid.
I know.
The park lots are crazy.
The U.S. open is not this morning.
No, but the park lots because all the hotels are jam-pack.
I can't even get in my park lot.
You don't have an excuse for being late.
I never give one.
I'm just telling the truth.
You don't care.
I'm just giving the truth.
Michael Jackson would have been 67 a day, by the way.
65.
I thought it was 65.
But either way, you would have been in the 60s.
Yeah, he'd have been in the 60s.
Let's get some front page news.
What did the Cowboys do, man?
I don't want to talk about it.
What did the Cowboys do?
I don't want to talk about it.
Michael Parsons, he seems like a very popular player.
Popular.
He's the best defensive player in the league.
He's a generational talent.
And you guys had him?
I don't want to talk about it.
Why did you guys trade him?
What had happened was?
Jerry Jones needs to be impeached and removed from office.
Oh, my God.
impeach to remove from office.
He was traded to the Packers from the Cowboys.
What did you guys get?
For nothing.
Two first-round picks and a defensive tackle
who hasn't been that good in the last few years.
And the Green Bay Packers are going to be good,
so the first-round picks are probably going to be, you know,
late in the round.
Defund the Cowboys, man.
The fun of the Cowboys.
I love it.
Tape all that.
Hey, Mimi.
Hey, good morning.
How y'all do you win?
I'm feeling amazing now that I know the Cowboys are going to be even more trash
than they were last year.
Yeah, both of us will be at the bottom of the NFC.
you like the bottom. What's up? New Delafia Eagles, Washington Redskins going to dominate
that that division. Yes.
Here we go. All right, y'all, so we're going to start off with the latest on that deadly
school shooting in Minneapolis. So two children, of course, sadly lost their lives, and 18
others were injured after gunfire erupted on Wednesday at a Catholic school. Now, we're
learning more about a possible motive, as police say notoriety may have been what the shooter
was seeking, as they say, he was obsessed with other past mass shooters.
Authorities say, quote, he had a deranged fascination with other past mass shooters and left
behind hundreds of pages of writings, expressing hate toward almost every group imaginable.
In a press conference yesterday, police chief Ryan O'Hara gave an update on the investigation.
Let's listen.
Those who remain hospitalized need all of our support.
as we continue to pray for a speedy recovery for all of our victims.
During the processing of the scene at Annunciation Church yesterday,
three shotgun shells were recovered along with approximately 116 rifle rounds.
One live round was recovered from a handgun that appears to have malfunctioned
as the shooter attempted to use it and became stuck in the chamber.
I'll never understand how somebody says they want notoriety, but then kill themselves.
Like, what notoriety do you see?
Like, just kill yourself from the start.
There are no mass shooters that are superstars.
Nobody's remembered for the right reasons when you're a mass shooter.
We hardly remember your name.
It doesn't lead to any money.
It doesn't lead to any fame.
What do you mean, notariety?
Straight to hell.
Yeah.
And that's why the police chief also asks that people don't report his name just because that's what he was seeking.
So all the injured victims, they are expected to survive.
But as I mentioned earlier, two children ages 8 and 10 were killed.
10-year-old Harper Moisky, whose family described her as a bright, joyful, and deeply loved 10-year-old,
whose laughter, kindness, and spirit touched everyone she knew.
And then there was 8-year-old Fletcher Merkel, who was one of four children in the Merkel family.
Two of his siblings were also in the church when he was shot and killed.
they were not hurt or injured in the attack,
but his father, Jesse Merkel,
is reminding everyone to hold your loved ones close.
Let's listen to what he had to say
at the press conference yesterday.
As our family and the Annunciation Community grieve
and try to make sense of such a senseless act of violence,
please remember Fletcher for the person he was
and not the act that ended his life.
Give your kids an extra hug and kiss today.
We love you, Fletcher.
you always be
What's so sad about that
You know
When the man says
Remember Fletcher
For who he was
The young man
Didn't even get a chance
To be somebody
Right
You know what I mean
He said
I mean
And it's family
That's their child
But we didn't get a chance
To know who this young man was
He didn't even get a chance
At life
And you know
The crazy thing is
With the shooter
Right
If he had all the stuff
That they found
So simple
I wonder why
Nobody else around him
Seeing any of this
Right
Exactly
If he was so into this
So much
Why did nobody around him
Love one's family
Friends see this
And say
You know what
This is wrong. This ain't right. Something's going to happen, you know?
Yeah, for sure.
You know, and in the wake of the shooting, the community, of course, is gathering for multiple vigils.
More are planned, and fundraisers for the victims have been started.
And so while families continue to grieve in Minneapolis, there's also significant news coming out of Washington today.
President Trump has made a controversial appointment that could have a major impact on how future elections are run.
The Trump administration has appointed Heather Honey.
a conservative activist who promoted false claims about the 2020 election to a senior role
at the Department of Homeland Security.
Now, Honey will serve as Deputy Assistant Secretary for Election Integrity in the Office
of Strategy, Policy, and Plans, a position that was created under Trump that did not exist
under the Biden administration.
So in this role, she'll help oversee policies tied to voter databases, cybersecurity, and
responses to potential foreign interference in U.S. elections.
Honey, who runs a investigation and consulting firm in Pennsylvania, she became a central figure in promoting conspiracy theories about voter fraud, including one that Trump cited before the January 6th Capitol attack.
She also previously worked on efforts to change Georgia's election rules in Trump's favor.
Now, critics are pointing out that she has no prior experience running elections or working in election law, and some state officials say they've spent hundreds of hours responding to her public records.
requests and correcting inaccurate claims she's made about voting systems.
Trump's allies, however, they are calling this move wonderful, incredible news and saying
it's a win for election integrity.
However, experts are warning that putting someone who can spread election misinformation
in a role with access to sensitive voter data could raise serious security concerns and
weaken confidence in the system ahead of the 2026 midterms.
If you think these folks are conceding power in 20s,
and 28, you are bugging. If you think
we are having free and fair elections in 26
and 28, you are bugging. They are leaving
nothing to chance between all the redistricting
and the appointments like Heather Honey.
They are attempting to fix this fight. And it's
really just that simple. All right. Well, that is
front page news. Now, Mimi, we'll see you next
hour. All right, coming up, we'll talk
about online shopping and tell you what you need to know
before something goes into effect
to affect your wallet. And everybody else.

Hey, I had a question for you, Envy.
Back in the 90s, when DMX and Jay Z went out in at it at the pool hall, was you there?
Bro, I ain't that old.
Yes, you are absolutely that old.
You got to stop this.
In the 90s?
You're going to be 48 next year, yes.
In the 90s?
Yes.
I wasn't even able to go to a club in the 90s.
What are you talking about?
Man, in the 90s, we was in our 20s.
No, he wasn't.
This was like, this wasn't like, oh.
In 98?
He was 22.
I was 21, 98.
In 95, I just went to college.
You was old enough to get the club?
No, I was, I was 17 to 18.
You went to college and 18.
At 95, 96.
97, I was 20.
My point is you were that old.
You just might have been the young boy, but you was that old.
That would have been able to get to a pool hall.
And this was at a pool hall.
It wasn't at a club.
It was at a pool.
Exactly.
No, I wasn't there.
Man, cut it out.
That's six days.
Oh, okay.
You were in the club.
I was not in the club with Batwow.
I was not there, sir.
Okay.
I'm just checking that.
But, uh...
I wish you were there.
Do you have women this song by Pete Rock T.
I'm moving on the list?
Yeah, I got you.
We'll hear that this morning.
I'll throw it in the mix.
Thank you.
Appreciate it, bro.
Oh, this is the homie from North Carolina that requests all the song.
All the songs.
You want it sounds.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I got you with that.
You will.
Yeah, I got you with him.
All right, bro.

Memphis Bleak 47.
Memphis Bleak was there.
Drag on about 45, 46.
Drago on was there.
So why would he be there?
Wait, Clue.
He wasn't allowed.
Clue was there, but Bleak was probably not there.
Hello, who's this?
Hey, good morning.
This is Mike.
Mike, what up?
Get it off your chest, Mike.
What's going on?
I was calling the event about just to the three interesting comment earlier in the week
about many religions for one saying.
Huh?
I'm on the comment on that.
Yeah, that's what I asked if she was.
was smoking. I remember that way.
Go ahead, Joe.
Well, the first of all, that's what I was going to say.
That's one of the questions you asked when you're eye, like, how do you date in the night.
Yes, sir.
But I think that's a true, because it's kind of true, but it kind of shows that the devil does
is kind of trying to deceive people to, you know, coming to God.
But I think the concept is more so good versus evil because there's a lot of religion where
you want to do good and evil is considered what the saint does.
but it's just an encouragement to you know
for people to follow Christ
because that's what I believe in you know

things he's got to eating solid food yesterday she's talking about all right we'll get it to that
next is the breakfast club board it the breakfast club
V. Jess Hilary, Sholomey, the guy.
We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to the latest with Lauren.
Lauren becoming a free fat.
Tell us, man.
She gets them to somebody that knows somebody.
She gets the detail.
I'm a home girl that knows a little bit about everything.
She'd be having the latest on this.
The latest with Lauren LaRosa.
Sometimes you have facts. Sometimes she have details.
Sometimes she have a little bit everything.
Well, it's the latest.
On the breakfast club.
Talk to me.
All righty guys.
So Tamar Braxton, who let us know,
a few weeks ago that she almost died.
She woke up in a pool of blood
has finally explained what happened.
She teamed up with a team of doctors
to best explain it.
Let's take a listen to Tamar's doctor, Dr. Amira.
Hi, my name is Dr. Amira Ogunlea
and I am a cosmetic dentist out of Miami, Florida.
I was recently contacted by Tamar Braxton's team
who reported a very traumatic injury.
She woke up in a pool full of blood,
saw many fractured teeth on her floor.
She flew to me immediately within 24 hours.
Upon evaluation, I confirmed that she did, in fact, have several fractured teeth.
She even had any bulsed tooth, which is a tooth that's come completely out of the socket.
She also appeared to have a fractured septum.
We were able to perform immediate oral surgery on her, and we were able to stabilize her for now as she continues to heal.
As far as the cause, the medical team ruled out.
seizure ruled out stroke and the only thing left that it could possibly be is somnambulism
which is sleepwalking yeah so i mean now we know that but here's the thing with this a lot of
people even with this video still don't believe that this is real they still don't believe that
this is the thing that actually happened to tamar uh they believe that it is a publicity stunt
why would she care yeah why she care what people think if they're saying it was sleepwalking it was
She's got to argue with.
But the thing is, the night before it happened and she woke up and she posted it on her story.
That's the thing.
Wait, what you mean?
The night after it happened.
Oh, the night after.
Oh, yeah, after.
She woke up and took to the story just to give us little bits and pieces.
She knows what the internet does.
Like, she knows that.
I mean, I know she, to every point, she don't got her care or, yeah, you know, care about what people think.
But if you're going to do that and give us bits of pieces of something, you know, to be.
something that serious.
If you give people a room to speculate,
they're going to speculate.
But she didn't know at first, right?
Because she just said it happened
and she didn't know.
She went to the doctor.
They ruled out stroke.
They ruled out seizures.
Why is that your first thing to do?
Then if you don't know what happens to you,
why is it not finding out what happens to you?
Why is it alerted us?
2025, that's what people do.
If you tell everybody the story,
but then tell everybody, you know,
please respect my privacy at this time.
It's like, no,
the internet going to run and create every rumor they can't.
Because it's not just your business no more.
Once you let us know.
I will say I have no reason not to believe it.
But one thing we have to start telling our doctors about
is those edibles we take it.
Now, I'm not saying Tamar's will take an edible.
I'm going to say she don't even do it.
I'm not saying she is.
I'm just telling us folks born in the 1900s,
you're doing anything more than 10 milligrams.
You're going to wake up out the bed,
sleep moon walking, talking about him.
You're kicking your leg up.
You know what I'm saying?
Yo.
Well, Temaar also posted to her story.
She posted a photo, and she said,
I can't run or chew, but I look like I can.
So she is in the, this is.
She can't run.
Or two.
What running and chewing got in?
Why running and chewing going together?
I'm assuming, though, because of her injuries, I mean, her teeth first is she getting her teeth together.
And maybe she's not as mobile.
My ex was messed up.
Yeah, she's just letting people know she can't run her chew, but she looked like she can.
Like, basically, I ain't the best right now, but I'm holding it together like I am.
By the way, even this, this is, you're giving us all this information for people to talk about.
Yeah, yeah.
You throw it mad logs on this fire.
Yeah.
And then that ain't the only fire because what's going over her in Mendisi?
I've seen something.
Yes.
And that's why I was.
so mad when I even seen it. It looks like...
It looked like a trailer to a reality show
or a music video, but
it's like, you never know what's real or what's fake.
Like, why are we...
What's happening? Because if you know everything that's going on
a love of hip-hop, right? With Yan DiM and D.C.
It's like, then this comes out.
Yes. Now what?
So basically, she says that
Mendezis is her friend. And when she posted
that, she capitalized friend, it was a visual
that she dropped and she says in the
comment, I mean, in the caption, this is the moment,
y'all have been waiting for my real life heartbreak album story and movie
starring my friend in all caps mendicies her new EP heartbreak retrograde will be available
919 and she posted this in the midst of people trying to figure out what was happening to her
as well yeah so people i think that what charlemagne she did almost die
that's what she said it's what she said it's how i read it she says mendiec is her friend
and this is just all you know a visual movie that goes with a project that she's dropping but
to your point, just
there were people that felt like the timing of the
promotion of that was just off because the last
thing we had heard from her prior to that
was, you almost died. Hey, y'all, I woke up in a
pool of blood. So people are like, wait, what? Hold on.
Yeah. Yes.
But yeah.
There. Mocking and mocking.
So you don't believe her.
I'm not saying I don't believe that she woke up in a pool of blood.
We obviously just heard a doctor, you know,
you know, corroborate that story
or whatever. But the thing is
the whole messiness
with the marriage
that's happening
on loving hip hop
and Mnesee
you know
and Yandy
You should explain that a bit
for people who don't know
So if you don't know
you're not watching
loving hip hop
You should
Love and Hipop
Atlanta
I've been watching
that for years
since the beginning
And Yandy and Mn Disi
I guess is you know
It's trouble in paradise
or whatever
And they're beefing
with Kirk and Rashida
And Yandy's thing is
She never confirmed
That Mendecy was cheating
With old girl
from the Instagram DM.
Yeah.
In fact, Yandy said that she was in the DM.
And then, you know, the stepson was in the DM.
And then, you know, so there was a trip to,
there was the alleged trip to London that they said,
so there's a lot of happening.
And there was a rumor that Yandy was cheating.

My name is Ed. Everyone say hello, Ed.
Hello, Ed. I'm from a very rural background myself. My dad is a farmer, and my mom is a cousin.
So, like, it's not like... What do you get when a true crime producer walks in
to a comedy club.
I know it sounds like the start of a bad joke,
but that really was my reality nine years ago.
I just normally do straight stand-up,
but this is a bit different.
On stage stood a comedian
with a story that no one expected to hear.
The 22nd of July 2015,
a 23-year-old man
had killed his family.
And then he came to my house.
So what do you get when a true person?
crime producer walks into a comedy club, a new podcast called Wisecrack, where stand-up comedy
and murder takes center stage.
Available now.
Listen to Wisecrack on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Because her friend leaked that, but we never, she never confirmed whether Mendisi
was cheating or not.
He don't care to clear.
it up. And then the video drops. She's upset that he
would not clear it up. And then that
video drops. In the midst of us trying to
figure out if Tamar is okay or not.
So y'all see how like the storm created and people
are like, wait, what is happening right now? So that's where
that's where a lot of it's coming from. A bunch
of clownish. Like
it's like, come on, you never know it was real.
You never know what's fake. Like
I don't know. I don't like
none of it. All right, guys. I understand.
All right. You got it, Solomon?
No, I started mine in my business.
About a minute and a half ago, at least two minutes ago.
Well, glad that Tamar is doing okay.
We just are just a bit confused for a bit.
But I'm glad she's doing okay.
All right.
Well, that is the latest with Laura.
Now, when we come back, we got front page news.
So don't go anywhere.
It's the breakfast club.
Good morning.
Wake up.
You're like to enter the breakfast club.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ NV.
Just hilarious.
Sholameen the guy.
We are the breakfast club.
Some quick sports.
We talked about it earlier, but it's only right to talk about it again.
Mika Parsons.
His name is not Mika.
What's the name?
Micah.
Micah Parsons.
He used to be on the Cowboys.
What happened?
I don't want to talk about it.
He was traded to the Packers, and what y'all get out of it?
I don't want to talk about it.
He got two first draft picks, but the Packers are going to be pretty good, so they're going to be...
I don't want to talk cowboy business with people who don't love and appreciate the Cowboys,
but I will say that when we have these tough conversations...
They're not tough.
No, these are tough conversations.
Jerry Jones needs to be impeached and removed from office.
We need to defund the Cowboys.
This is a damn shame that that.
They got this amazing documentary on Netflix.
One of the best sports documentaries I've ever seen.
You know, I'm watching it.
And I'm like, damn, I've got to let my daughter watch this.
So she understands why her father loves the Cowboys so much
because I really have no reason to over the last 30 years.
We got this amazing documentary out.
And he goes and does something stupid like this.
I think it's great.
And I've seen you hugged me.
I see you know, I want to say bars.
I see I gave each other nice hugs.
Yeah, and I was telling him he need to get this right.
And you know what he said to me.
He goes, look here, man.
You know, we zig.
Sometimes we zig when we're supposed to zag.
And I'm like, look at us yesterday.
Digging again.
I don't know.
Is that me?
I don't know.
I just know yesterday we was ziggin.
We did a whole bunch of ziggin.
Getting rid of Michael Parsons is ziggin, Jerry.
Well, you were pelvis to pelvis with that white man.
That's what I'll let you know.
Well, then pelvis to pelvis.
You y'all was zigging together.
What's up, Mimi?
What's up, y'all?
All right, so Governor Gavin Newsom of California is continuing to turn up the heat on President Trump.
This time, he's pushing back on Trump's decision to send National Guard troops and federal agents to Democratic-led cities,
accusing the president of hypocrisy and overreach.
So at a press conference on Thursday,
Newsom announced the expansion of California's crime suppression program,
but he also used the moment to criticize Trump's approach,
arguing that the president is targeting blue cities
while overlooking higher murder rates in Republican-controlled states.
Let's listen to what he said.
Just consider Speaker Johnson's state in district.
Just look at the murder rate that's nearly four times.
higher than California in Louisiana. This Speaker Johnson, four X higher. I'm just offering,
again, you've not seen this on Fox News, so President may not be familiar with these facts.
Of course, Mississippi leads the nation as the number one murder state in America. I imagine this in
particular may resonate with the President of the United States. Perhaps the President
could deploy the National Guard in every corner of Mississippi.
The murder rate's out of control there, carnage.
When notes St. Louis murder rate is 190% larger than Oakland.
I can go on.
We could talk about the carnage in Arkansas,
again, one of the top 10 murder states in America.
Yeah, so he recently just went on and explained that their red states are,
their murder rates per capita is larger than a lot of the blue states.
And so, as we know, Trump sent federal agents in the National Guard to Washington, D.C.,
LA and it seems like Chicago may be next
citing violent crime as a justification
but data shows that crime
in those cities has declined in recent years
however the White House is defending
Trump's deployment saying the president
is focusing on upholding law and order
and claims his strategy is already
working in Washington, D.C.
I like everything that Gavin Newsom is doing
in regards to how he's combating Trump,
how he's choosing to push back on Trump, but when I hear
him report things like that, all I think to myself
is none of y'all have truly
made any real investments into
any of these towns and these cities to truly reduce crime.
Crime would be going down everywhere if people actually made the proper investments
in these poor and disenfranchised communities.
If they gave people, you know, job training programs, proper mental health services,
you know, trade schools.
You just give people opportunity and something to do.
Crime will go down everywhere and that's not a party thing.
That's just a common sense, you know, knowing what people need thing.
Absolutely. Absolutely.
So shifting gears just a little bit.
So if you shop online for clothes, gadgets, and other small items from overseas,
get ready for shipping delays, canceled orders, and higher prices.
So starting today, the U.S. will end the nearly 100-year de minimis rule
that allowed items under $800 to enter the country tax-free.
So under the Trump administration's new policy, foreign sellers and postal services
will now have to collect and pay tariffs before shipping goods to the U.S.
and many of them say they can't or won't comply.
So as a result, several countries, including Germany, France, Australia, India, Japan, Mexico, and the U.K., I believe they're about 29 altogether, are pausing and stopping U.S.-bound shipments.
Dang.
Yeah, this is going to affect you if you order from platforms like Etsy, eBay, Shian, T.moo, those platforms are now warning shoppers to expect disruptions, and some have already stopped taking U.S. orders.
All the messy business is just selling
And people ain't gonna get them till Christmas
Please, because they're not coming from neither one of them countries
So shut up
You should have said Lauren's wig
Because she'd get her wigs from over out of the country
No, she don't
Portia got her nice supply of go naked hair
But anyway, no, is China on that list?
China's on the list
Now, now what? Now what? Now what?
No, because I got to re-up.
I got to re-stop.
Damn!
Okay.
Yeah, a lot of the stuff that is, it's going to hit hard.
because they said that 92% of all U.S. cargo last year came from those countries,
and that total, like, 1.3 billion packages.
But we do know that shipping costs may be going up,
but there's still a chance to bring in some extra cash, a lot of it.
That's because the Powerball jackpot has climbed to nearly $1 billion.
That's what I'm talking about.
Those kids are already surging.
So the Powerball is surged to $950 million after no one matched all six numbers.
on Wednesday night. So this is the six largest jackpot ever, the biggest prize in more than a year.
So if you haven't got your ticket yet, the next drawing is tomorrow, Saturday. If you choose a lump sum,
you're going to get about $429 million. I can make it work. Yep, Powerball tickets are sold in 45 states,
plus Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. So with nearly a billion dollars on the
line, are y'all getting your tickets? What you mean?
What you mean? One thing about Unk play every year. I don't know.
I play every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday, faithfully.
Okay.
So, and Powerball is still affordable.
Powerball did not go up in price like the Mega Millions.
The Mega Millions went up to $5.
That's just ridiculous.
Powerball is still $2.
Okay.
You see this right here?
This is a winning ticket.
Come on now.
No, no.
I want actually $4.
I won like this last year.
I won $4 all the time.
I actually won $100 recently.
I went $4 all.
I do.
It's a $4.
It's a $4.
I appreciate that $4.
I'm grateful for that $4.
You want to be $4.
Somebody in New York.
won on Wednesday. They won a million dollars.
Really?
Like five numbers or something like that.
You get, yeah, someone in New York won.
Dang. Damn.
Well, salute to them, ma'am.
Fort of five, four a sip.
That's right. I want my $4.
All right. Thank you, Mimi.
All right. Yeah, that's your front page news.

All right.
When we come back, former chair of the Democratic National Committee,
We'll be joining us.
Jamie Harrison.
So we're going to talk to him next.
Yes, and also 1-800-5-105-1.
You can call me right now.
Today is Friday.
We do the People's Donkey.
You can call up here and give somebody
the credit they deserve for being stupid.
That's right.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Good morning, everybody.
It's DJ NV.
Just hilarious.
Charlemagne de Guy.
We are the Breakfast Club.
Longa Rosa is here as well.
We got a special guest in the building.
He's at our table.
He's at our table.
He's an attorney.
a politician and is the
former chair of the
DNC, ladies and gentlemen
we have Jamie Harrison. Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you all so much for him. How are you
my South Carolina Bradford? Man, I'm good.
I'm good. You know, I'm
not traveling as much. I'm
like shoveling the kids back and forth
from soccer
practice and swimming lessons and
violin lessons and all that other stuff.
Now I can just be
a dad and then I got my podcast
stuff. So, you know, it's
It's different, but it's good to be able to be at home with my kids and my wife.
And, you know, of course, my blood pressure still goes up when all those, I see all this crazy
shit.
I was going to say, how do politicians adjust when you make that transition?
Like, do you ever fully just relax?
It's a hard adjustment.
It really is because you, when you are in the mix all the time and in the storm, like,
all you know is how to deal with, like, buckling down for that.
And so when you get a time where it's sort of peop.
peaceful. You don't know what to do with yourself, right? And so you get online and you start
seeing things and it starts stirring you up and you just get a little unhinged. And so I'm
just happy that I got this, you know, the podcast and all those other stuff that I'm doing is it gives
me an outlet to get some of that out because otherwise, I mean, I'd just, I'll be bouncing
off the walls. Is this what you saw yourself doing after being formed a DNC-Chair?
You know, I, Charlie, I didn't know what the hell I wanted to do. I mean, I had hoped that Kamala
Harris would have won and she would say, Jamie, why'd you go be ambassador over there?
I don't know.
Some, you know, some, you know, somewhere, you know, my wife and I can relax and invite y'all
over, you know, come down to the ambassador's residence in the Bahamas and we, but I don't
know.
I didn't know what I want to do and I think I'm at one of those, I'll be 50 next year.
I'm at one of those midlife, not a crisis, but a crossroads.
And, you know, you're just trying to figure out what I'm going to do with the next phase.
of my life. And the one thing I...
Kind of like a Democrat.
No. I'm not like the whole party.
Yeah, you're right. It is a whole party.
But, you know, the one thing I do know is, and this is the, you know, it's like ten toes down
on it, I see where the country's going, and I see so many reflections of what we grew up
in in South Carolina. And I just know that I'm not going to allow my sons to grow up
in a world like my grandparents grew up in. So I got to figure out.
what it is that I have to do in order
to prevent that from happening because
more little by little every day we see
something new but
that's my one commitment
that I know that I am definitely
set on like you know
we got to figure out ways
for this to be better because it right now
is scary to the chair of the DNC
what was your position what was your job
well you know the chair of the DNC is very different
when you have the White House and when you don't have the White House
break it down so the Democratic
National Committee is in essence
instance, it's the organization, a national organization for the Democratic Party.
We've got 57 states and territories that all have state Democratic parties, and they all work
with me.
Now, I'm not their boss.
It's sort of a partnership, a collaboration.
And what we really do is we're the infrastructure for the party.
So the people who knock on doors, the people who make phone calls, the volunteers, making sure
that resources are on the ground to do those type of things.
And when you have the White House, what you become is, in essence, an extent.
of the White House political team.
I get my instructions from the White House
on what to do. Now, Ken Martin,
who's a new DNC chair, he doesn't
have a boss, right? Because there's
nobody in the White House. When you
have the White House, the president is the head
of the party. When you don't have the White House,
it is very diffuse, it's
broken down. And so what you do
at the DNC is you build the infrastructure
for the next campaigns, the next elections
that take place, the door knockers,
whether they're going to do
the party hasn't done, registration,
really the way that needs to but all of those things that you see on campaigns that's what
the DNC does and it works with his other sister committees the DCC which is the congressional
campaign committee the DSEC which is a Senate campaign committee so you don't control the whole
thing you just get a slice of the ply and you just try to focus your energy on building up
that infrastructure so there was always rumor that the DNC were the ones that you know quote unquote
picked who they wanted to be.
Man, that's a bunch of baloney.
Stop it, Jamie.
That's not baloney.
Oh, man.
But that's what they say.
They pick somebody who they feel will be the president.
You can tell the truth.
Well, I am telling the truth.
Tell me with the power I have to pick.
If I'm the DNC chair, what power do I have the pick?
Like, people say, well, you could have told Joe Biden to not run.
Like, seriously?
Yeah.
Yeah.
You could have said that.
I could have.
Nobody was against him at during that time.
And you could have.
I could have.
And do you think he would have?
This is the most powerful, no, no, let's your name.
What's talking about it?
To your point, he did listen to him.
He did listen to somebody finally.
No, I think.
So everybody should have told him earlier.
I think ultimately what the president saw was that this fight is actually tearing the party apart.
And I don't want that to be on me.
Stop it, Jamie.
Now, I'm not, I'm telling you the truth.
You're not beholding to them no more.
No, it's not about being beholden to.
That man was too old.
Everybody knew he was too old.
But Charlemagne.
He should have been a transitional president from the beginning.
Charlemagne, I get all of that.
But you know what?
Somebody should have stepped up.
If people thought that Joe Biden was too old,
then some real people should have stepped up and said,
you know what?
I'm going to run.
But then they get the answer to him.
When the Dean Phillips does that,
y'all kick him out.
Look, is Dean Phillips serious?
It don't matter.
No, no, no, no, honest.
No, Jamie, you're acting like that is,
you're acting like that is the normal process of things.
Yes, just challenge the sitting president.
No.
You know y'all crucify.
You know y'all crucify people for that.
Well, you're telling me, you're saying, well, that's not the normal.
And you were saying, is it normal for the DNC chair to say, Mr. President, you need to sit down?
Yes.
In that situation, yes.
No, no, it is not.
If George Clooney can say it, if Charleney and God can say it,
if all these people who are not in politics can say it, but y'all, Jake Tappel book, I read the book, said Brother Biden walked up to you, shook your hand.
That's a bunch of bullshit.
That's a bunch of bullshit.
I don't believe that, James.
But why don't you believe me?
Because I don't know what happened.
He said that, uh, he said that.
Jake Tapp and Alex Thompson wrote in their book
Original Sin that Biden shook
DNC chair at the time
Jamie Harrison's hand and didn't recognize who he
was. I said that it's bullshit because
it was bullshit. Every time that Joe Biden
See, Joe Biden always related me to
Jim Claverin, right? So every
He thought you was Jim Clabber. No, no.
Come on. I knew that. What's going to?
You got to do. I walk right into that. I walk right into
that. You're going to be clicked on. I walk right
into the shit, man. No, but every time
Because, you know, Joe and Jim have really close relationship.
Now, they trust each other and all.
And so every time he's going to be like, how's Jim doing?
And, you know, every single time, that's his lead-all question.
How's Jim doing?
And tell Jim he needs to give me a call.
Every single time.
And so was President Biden old?
Yes.
I mean, it was damn old.
But when you take a look at it, Charlemagne, when you look at what this man was trying to do,
I'd rather take an old Joe Biden on a respirator.
right now than a goddamn Donald Trump
right now who's destroying this country in the
that type of rhetoric is exactly why y'all lost
what I mean by that is
America shouldn't have to choose
between a Donald Trump
and a old man on a respirator
I shouldn't have to choose between authoritarian
authoritarian strategy and an old man
on a respirator Charlemagne you
you can't win something if you don't have
somebody to get in the contest to run against
and if Joe Biden would have said hey I'm going to be
a transitional president I'm only going to be here
for four years that would have gave you
As the DNC chair and the party, a whole lot of time to get a good candidate.
But he didn't, right?
And so in the end of the day, Joe Biden decided to run.
Nobody decided of significance decided to challenge him.
So therefore, that is the horse that you have to ride.
We're still kicking it with Jamie Harrison, former chair of the DNC.
Do you put any blame on the Democratic Party?
Because there clearly was a lot of people who saw decline and decided not to say anything.
But if they would have maybe rang the alarm, then maybe other people would have been like,
You know what? I am going to run.
I don't know about that, to be quite honest, Charlemagne.
I mean, the reason why you elect the president is to get done, right?
And if you take a look, objectively speaking, you take a look at all that Joe Biden got done legislatively.
And you compare it, compare it to Ronald Reagan, you can compare it to George Jeffrey Bush, Barack Obama, Bill Clinton.
There has not been a president that got more done legislative than any president since Lyndon Bain Johnson.
I agree with you.
But getting things done, don't want.
in campaign, sadly.
But that's why you send somebody to Washington, D.C., to get stuff done for you,
to do stuff for your community, to move things forward.
And we see the contrast now of somebody who doesn't get things done or gets things done
that actually hurts people.
Like, why send a young person, you know, Jim Carver.
I remember once when I was a young staffer in his office.
And he said, I was bitching about, you know, some of these older people just need to sit down
and let some of these young folks stand up.
And he said to me, he was very quiet.
He listened to me just rant and read.
And he pushed back in his chair.
And he said, Jim, let me ask you a question.
Which would you prefer?
An old third good marshal or a young Clarence Thomas.
And I sat there and I thought about it.
And I said, okay, I see what you.
He said, you know, yes, age is important.
But it's also about your values.
It's about who you are, what you will fight for, who you will fight for.
And so that's a part of the package.
Joe Biden was old. I get that. But we also know that this man was committed to certain things to make things better for folks. Did he do it perfectly? No, we don't, none of us do anything perfectly, right? There's nobody that has walked this earth that is perfect, but the son of God. And he, and hopefully he'll come back again sometime soon.
I wouldn't waste my time. I hate the old conversation because it just wasn't, he just wasn't just the fact that he was old.
It just wasn't the fact of his old, because we know a lot of people at an 80-year-old
and are on point.
He just felt like he wasn't on point.
It felt like my rest of the piece of my mother-in-law,
I feel like he had early signs of dementia she had.
So the signs that I seen with her were the signs that I was seeing with him,
forgetting names, shaking people's hands that weren't there.
It just seemed a little bit.
And it had nothing to do with old.
It had to do with the fact that I just didn't think he was 100%.
I mean, listen.
You don't see, I agree, but you took it.
No, no, no.
It's somebody who interacted with the president a lot in 2024.
and he did some of the mannerisms that old people do but in terms of like his mental acuity
and his sharpness he knew it all and you better like if he asked you a question you better know
the answer to it right and so like seeing the the frame that was built around and then seeing
the reality of my interactions my personal interactions with him that i you know it was not
always the same right it's it it wasn't and so that's part of my frustration is like
guys i understand that this guy isn't perfect but you know you know it was not always the same right it's it's it's it wasn't
perfect but you know what we also have a vice president so in the end of the day if he can't
if he can't perform you got a vice president that is there who can't i don't to me it wasn't
anything his age had definitely played a part in it but it's the fact that democrats suck at
messaging all the good things that somebody like the biden administration did y'all didn't know how to
message and y'all just suck at campaigning and i think that you're about to make the same
mistake because you're still on some we good day bad stuff clearly america don't care about
Well, listen, what I think we have to do on the messaging side, one of the things, the problem
that Democrats have, and I say this as a party, and I said this as a party chair, is that we
send people to Washington, D.C., who want to get stuff done, who are policy ones. Many of them
are really policy nerds, right? All they want to do is they want to go to D.C. They want to write
their bills. They want to get something passed and solving the issue that people in their communities
are dealing with. The Republicans are reversed. They want to go to Washington, D.C. to have power.
either power to block something or power to move things forward.
And they know that, you know, they don't need to be versed in all of these policies and all that.
And so they just focus on the politics of it, whereas Democrats don't like to focus on the politics.
They just like to focus on the policy.
But that's not always good because you also need the politics part.
Like you've got to be able to sell what you've been able to do.
one of the things I tried to get the president
well people in the
administration do is yeah I said
Mr. President and I said this on this flight
that we took, we were down in
Charleston, visited Mother Emmanuel and then flew to Dallas
Is that when he pooped his pants allegedly?
Man, I don't know what the hell are you talking about.
I'm serious, I'm serious. They said that
the last time he visited Mother Emmanuel and me
he pooped his pants.
Charlotte, man, you're saying something that literally
I'm not even joking. Man, that's
that's some crazy. That's some crazy
talk. I'm serious. That's some crazy
because I was, again, with the president all day.
We even went to, what's his soul food restaurant that we went to?
Hannibal.
Yeah.
I don't know.
Yeah.
That's what I'm telling you.
I'm not even joking.
I heard that they said last time you were dead.
He said he pooped his pants.
They said he was taking so long to come out.
So local law enforcement was asking the secret service, what's going on?
And somebody in secret service said, look, president just.
He shot it.
Oh, man.
I mean, so many headlines asking, they're trying to figure out, did he poop his pants?
Man, that's crazy.
I'm just, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not a secret.
No.
Well, I never heard of it.
You didn't smell that.
No, no, exactly.
Y'all are crazy.
So I didn't hear it.
You smell.
You're absolutely crazy as hell.
You smell something and say something.
Let me get to my story.
Hell, what was I'm trying to say anyway
before Shalerman ended pooping the pants?
How are you lying about something, man?
Y'all, come on.
You said you told them to do something.
Huh?
You told the administration to do something.
Oh, yeah.
So, because part of it is about selling what you do,
What you do, and I told the president, because as I went across the country, people weren't connected.
We passed all those stuff, but people weren't connected to the stuff that we actually pass.
Like the student loan stuff.
There are a lot of people who qualify for all of the student loan relief, but they didn't know how to get it.
Right?
And so I said, well, Mr. President, why don't?
And I said the DNC can actually do this.
We can open up, we can call them Biden empowerment centers all across the country where people could come in
and say, I'm trying to get some of that Biden's student loan money.
I'm trying to figure out how to do a small business, $20,000 at small business grants.
But I don't know how to get that money.
I'm trying to do something in terms of the broadband and all of the other stuff.
And I said, you can have these all across the country so that people are now then connected
to the resources that you are actually bringing into the community.
Because part of the problem is that people didn't know how to get it, right?
You had the money there, but people can't access it.
And he was like, oh, that's a great idea.
That's a great idea.
I thought it was going to move forward.
I thought that we would do something about it.
But the one thing that, and I'm writing about this now in my book, the one problem that you have is, like, if these ideas don't come from certain people that are in the sort of universes around the president or the vice president, then they never see the light of date.
They never, they never crystallize.
And that is part of the fundamental problems that we have right now within our party is that we got to break through.
some of these things. You've got these gatekeepers who all want all of the power, all of the
control, all of the influence, and don't want other voices to come break in to say, you know,
we're not doing this right. We need to talk to these people. We need to bring these people
into the room. And so that's part of my big frustration as DNC chair. It was that, you know,
there are a lot of things that we want to do, a lot of bells that we were ringing very early
on about this group, this group, that group. But the president or the vice president never actually
really heard them. Because the gatekeepers
kept that information from it. We're still
kicking in with Jamie Harrison, former chair
of the DNC. What do you feel
he's not being truthful about? Because you said you don't, you don't feel
like he's being truthful. What do you think? He's not being truthful about
the condition that they know President Biden was in.
No, man, I just, I just fundamentally, you can ask
anybody, you can ask my wife. I just fundamentally
disagree with that. It wasn't just about the age.
It's not just about the age. There's a lot of things, right?
There's a perception that the DNC
is too tied to corporate donors and specials.
Yeah, man, that's bullshit to.
Okay, tell me
Pull the records, pull the receipts
D&C or Democrats? No, you said the DNC
What you said is... No, I said Democrat. You said the DNC.
No, I didn't. I said the DNC? Roll the tape.
I don't know what he said. I think you said, y'all.
You said the D&C.
Okay, I'm a Democrat. I'll even...
I'm sorry, I'm a Democrat.
No, because you're saying that the DNC is corporate...
You're right, right, right, right. So let me ask the question again.
There's a perception that Democrat politicians
are too tied to corporate donors and special interests.
Yeah.
So how can the party claim to fight for working people while taking
so much money.
Well, there are some Democrats in Congress who do take corporate
pack dollars like they do and in part of their fundraising.
That happens.
But when it, like, I can't control what individual members do, right?
But in the end of the day, you know, if these people are still passing health care
and passing, they're not fighting for tax cuts for these wealthy corporations and all
that.
They're actually trying to increase the taxes on some of these folks.
It's kind of hard to say.

Sometimes it's hard to remember, but...
Going through something like that is a traumatic experience,
but it's also not the end of their life.
That was my dad, reminding me and so many others who need to hear it,
that our trauma is not our shame to carry,
and that we have big, bold, and beautiful lives to live after what happened to us.
I'm your host and co-president of this organization, Dr. Lyotra Tate,

These people aren't fighting for their constituents, man. Right? So again, like, I can only
control what I can control within my spirit, right? I know what the DNC did and what I tried
to push the DNC to do in my time, which is focus on working people, focusing on people like
my grandparents,
focusing on people like my
aunts and my uncles
and my cousins
and nieces and nephews
in South Carolina,
trying to make life
better for them.
That's the party
that I was happy
and proud to be the chair of.
Okay,
can answer you this question?
Yeah.
Was there a private deal
between the DNC
and the Harris campaign
that you would cover
$20 million in her bills?
No.
So basically,
and I saw
Shane's
newspaper article.
So looking at the
finances,
for there are some joint finances between the DNC and a presidential campaign. When they come
together, they create what was called a joint fundraising committee. So there's things, bills that they
share, right? So some polling, some advertising, some things so that they can jointly fundraise
money. And that's, I know that your folks are going to get a little eyes glaze. That is because
they form a joint fundraising committee because that allows them to raise more money collectively
than they could as individuals, right?
It allows them the DNC to go to some of its,
the donors who can write a million-dollar check, right?
And then they send that money to the DNC.
It's dispersed.
No, they're individuals.
Folks that...
So individuals can write a million-dollar checks?
Yes.
Okay.
Individuals can write a million-dollar checks
because the way that the finance laws,
and that's something that we really need to take a look at,
but the way the finance laws work is there's a certain amount
that they can give to the DNC,
There's a certain amount they can give to every state party, and all of that money is collective,
and then we can use that money on behalf of the presidential candidate.
So it's a joint fundraising committee.
So that means sometimes they're joint fundraising expenses that come out of it, so expenses that we share.
So coming off of Kamala's race, there were some things, some outstanding bills that we still had that were joint bills together between the DNC and the Kamala's race.
and our agreement was to pay the remaining of some of those bills.
Was it 20 million?
No.
When I left, it was about five.
So now I can't speak about any other whatever, but when I left, it was about $5 million,
which in the grand scheme of things, $5 million is a lot for us as individuals,
but in this campaign universe.
Do you think we need to get $4 billion?
Yes.
Okay.
I do believe that we need massive.
And we would have done that had we paid.
I asked the John Lewis and all the other bills that Democrats voted unanimously for in the House,
but we couldn't get it past the Senate because of filibuster, because of mansion and cinema.
So I do believe that.
Listen, I raised $132 million when I ran for the U.S. Senate.
I mean, when I think about how much money that is and what that could have done in South Carolina,
that's sinful, that amount of money, $132 million.
I think we need to cap the amount that we use in our election.
No other country on the face of this planet.
as much money in campaigns as we do.
Is the DNC beholden to billionaires too much?
Or just wealthy people in general?
No, I mean...
Because there's no working class person writing a million dollars.
No, no. But the bulk of the money that the DNC raises is from folks who are giving
$5 and $10.
Like the sheer volume, probably about 30% of the DNC's money that it gets, it comes
from major dollar donors, right?
People who can write $25,000 above.
The number of people who can write a million dollar check,
maybe it's 100, 200 people.
Like, it's not a lot.
And those people, basically, I've met with many of our large donors,
they're not asking for anything policy-wise
because the DNC is not a policy arm.
Like, we don't write policy in the DNC.
The money that we use goes into the infrastructure of the party.
And so many of those folks don't have any type of ask
other than when, and we don't want to see Republicans take over.
If Democrats lose again in
2006 or 20228,
should the party completely rethink
its leadership structure, even the role
of the DNC itself?
I mean,
in the history of this country, you went
at the DNC's, I think, is
170 years old.
Like, you're going to win elections? You're going to lose elections.
I mean, winning elections
and losing an election didn't something new
that happened, right? It's different, though.
You got to admit this
is different. I mean, Donald
Trump is different, right?
The question is, once Trump's gone, does it go back to the way that it has gone to the past?
I don't, I mean, that's a big question.
I don't know that.
But one of the things I tell folks is, yes, there's an urgency of the moment.
But, like, you can't freak out about, like, all, you know, all hell's gone loose in terms of, like, the parties and how they operate, right?
I do think there's some fundamental changes that need to happen.
And I think, you know, when I go back to the DNC, part of what I want to do is put some reforms in to separate out to give the DNC a wall between a presidential campaign and the DNC or a president and the DNC.
Because I think the DNC has to focus more not just on the White House, but on the entirety of the party.
And I don't think we do that when we have the White House.
And I just want to ask you to be clear.
So you said the DNC has never taken corporate dollars in the past.
No, the DNC, I mean, I don't know if there's.
some... No corporate pack money.
There may be some corporate pack money.
No, you said it wasn't. No, no. But you said that the DNC was
controlled by corporate PAC money. If
there is corporate PAC money, it's probably
less than 5% of the money
that the DNC... No dark money influence, no...
What do you mean? Like, you're throwing out buzzwords, but I don't know
how you mean... I'm just asking a simple question. Have the DNC ever taken any
corporate pack money? No, DNC has taken corporate
pack money in the past. I mean, all of
the parties have taken court that money
but when you look at me that they're not controlled
they're not they're not controlled by that
right because if it's a small percentage
I mean I can give you a dollar
that doesn't mean you're going to do what I told you
for that dollar because I know
you're getting paid a whole lot more right
yeah well if you want more of this
you can check out this new podcast at our
table at our table with Jamie
Harrison and also check out Jamie Harrison's
documentary in the bubble that I executive
produced yes she did salute to Emily
Emily Harrell it was a pleasure Jay
Don't be a stranger.
No, I would love to come back.
And when the book comes out...
Please do.
But in Charlemagne, I do, I would love to have you, you know, as my South Carolina home boy,
be a guest on at our table.
Let me ask you the questions.
I'd love to do it.
I enjoyed your conversation with Hunter Biden.
No, it was good.
Yeah.
It was really good, and it was good to get Hunter unfiltered, and he had a lot to say.
He had a lot to say.
And I think he's a good guy.
you just yeah and and maybe I don't I don't know if it's just look I had I have family members who
had drug addiction issues and problems right and and very honest and they're very honest
they're very honest and what just say it Jamie no no I'm just saying like oh man
Jesus Christ it's the breakfast club good morning
salute to the Indiana fever man well first of all salute to Jamie Harrison for pulling up
former DNC chair.
But salute to the Indiana Fever.
They sent us some amazing collaboration they got with
Stranger Things.
They did, yeah.
And they sent us all custom jerseys.
The Indiana Fever, look, like, mine is number 11.
Mine is number 11, too.
It says, see the God on the back?
Yes.
And I watched Indiana Fever, you know what I'm saying?
You know, Caitlin Clark plays for the Fever,
but also, you know, South Carolina Gamecox alumni,
Olivia, Boston plays for the Indiana Fever.
Salute to Olivia West.
She was the one that actually did that when I was
out in Indiana for the NASCAR race.
I actually played in the game
on one-on-one. Actually, me
and Bubba played her both.
Bubba Spock's? Bobba Wallace.
We played...
Okay, we and Bubba Sparks. We played...
Be and Bubba Wallace played her. It was two-on-one,
and she won. Of course.
Of course. Yeah, so she said she was going to send
some jerseys up here. So, salute to Olivia
West and salute to the Indiana fever for sending
those jerseys. Appreciate you.
She sent one for Lorham, and it comes with hair under the arms already.
Oh, ready? Yours comes with silks, baby.
Wow. So you can try and reach a
baby. Let's get into the latest. We got a lot
of sports things.
She gets them from somebody that knows somebody.
She gets the details. I'm the home girl that knows
a little bit about everything.
She'd be having the latest on this.
The latest with Lauren LaRosa.
Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details,
sometimes you have a little bit of everything.
Well, it's the latest.
On the breakfast club.
Talk to me.
While speaking of sports and women in sports,
you guys know that Taylor Townsend's in
tennis player in Yalina Osten
Pico, I definitely said her last name
wrong, got into it
on the court at the U.S. Open the other day.
Yes. And
Taylor Townsend was called
uneducated and classless
by Yalina. So
I have confirmed that currently the U.S.
Open is trying to figure out
whether or not fines will be
given here. Can you do a fine for
trash talking? I mean, it was foul, totally foul and
totally wrong. I'm just curious.
I don't know all the
the definite, like the definite what can
what cannot happen. What I was told exactly is
that no fine has been assessed at
this point. Shorty was talking
crazy. She was. I mean, she lost.
Yeah, but she's been fine before
back in 2022 she was fine
after a loss. She threw a racket
at a chair and she had to pay some money
for that. So, you know, that...
She a sore loser. But let me tell you all something.
Because also yesterday
Cocoa Golf won her
second match. And it was a tough
match for her because Cocoa Golf has had a lot
eyes on her. She recently
switched coaches. There's just been a lot of pressure on her
so she broke down during the match and then
after she got emotional too talking about
just getting through it. There
has been a lot of and you know maybe
because I went this year I feel
I'm seeing it up close and personal. There's been a lot
of black girl magic, brown girl grinding
energy at the U.S. Open this year
the old girl chose the wrong
year to get on the field and call black woman
uneducated, not classy
all the things. It's been like that for the last
couple of years. I know that there's been like that. No
Arena Williams
Williams has been like what
What you mean?
People coming at them for being
No, no no no
No no I'm not
Girl Magic and the
The HBCU
Has been like that for the last
I did not know that
Yeah I didn't know that
And I talked about that on the podcast
The latest with Lauren La Rosa too
Like I want more people to get there
Because it felt so good
But she chose the wrong
She told the wrong girl
So yesterday Cocoa Golf talked a bit about
You know what her experience was
On the court
I told you all she got a bit emotional
But she also showed love to Taylor Towns
And let's take a listen
Yeah no I saw what happened
at the end of the match and obviously I'm close with Taylor and I can tell you well the first
two things that happened. Taylor always has warmed up at the net since juniors. I played her
in a challenger like when I was 14 and that's what she did. And it's not against the rules.
And then same thing with the let court, even though it's something that some people do. But she
had a winner afterwards and it's not, you know, it's not against the rules either. I mean,
I know what was said after the Mac. I think it was the heat of the moment thing. And
I think Yulina was probably filling emotions after she lost.
I do think that that shouldn't have been said, knowing Taylor personally, she's the opposite of that.
She's one of the nicest people that I ever met.
So, yeah, I really hate to see that, you know, maybe this is some of the first people hearing who Taylor Towns it is.
And I don't want that to be the main focus of who she is because she's a lot more than that.
She's a mom.
She's a great friend.
She's a talented tennis player.
I'm going to be honest with you.
I don't even know no white tennis players no more.
All the tennis players I know are not.
From Alicia Parks, the Naomi Osaka, the Sloan Stevens, Taylor Townsend, Cocoa Golf.
Yeah, but just say her name so people know.
Taylor Towns and Taylor Towns and Taylor Towns.
I want people to know her name, not the young lady name who said that the ignorant is.
We support Taylor.
Yeah, and what I love about Taylor, too, is, first of all, she's definitely the wrong one to have done all this with
because she ain't running from nothing.
She's from Chicago, too.
She posted on her Instagram, right, a photo of her during that match.
and the song she put the Knuck If You Buck
Instrumental and then it said BTA
Can we say they were here? Yes. Yeah, she said
belt to ass, right? People in the comments was like
they ain't never going to have an HBCU day again at the
U.S. Open because people were, the crowd was going
so crazy for her. She leaned into the
energy. She wasn't running away from it whatsoever.
Serena Williams laid that foundation.
Serena Williams cryptwalk
after a tennis match. She laid
the foundation for all of this, okay? Yes, and love
it. And Venus was there this year as well too.
How did she do? Did she win? I'm not for sure
if she won or not. I know that she did her
second one of her second matches
she were all white to
salute
to salute the 75 years of
you know breaking barriers and all the things
but I don't know if she won that match or not
I can look at attention because it should be more HBCU days
I mean they're getting a lot of eyes a lot of attention
it's a lot of love
it's really really dope I DJed I think last year a year
before they have the bands come out and the bands be rocking
playing and yeah it's I think Hampton did it like two years ago
so it's I enjoy it every time I go
But HBCU date is only, it was only one day.
It was one day, you were right.
I'm saying they could have it more than one day.
Well, yes, hopefully they will.
And we'll find out what happens if there's fines or if there's not.
To answer the question, yes, Venus did win.
Okay.
Yeah, she, Venus wins a U.S. Open during playing in the women's doubles.
Okay.
Then we had Don Stanley to do.
13 hours ago.
Okay.
Do Dawn Staley right fast.
Okay, so real quick, more women's sports.
Don Staley talks about potentially almost taking a WNBA
of WMBA. NBA job with the Knicks. Let's take a listen. I interview for the Knicks. It was the same
interview that everybody else that was in their candidate pool. Same thing. When in, I thought I did
pretty well. I was well prepared for the interview. If the Knicks would have offered me the job,
I would have had to do it. Not just for me, it's for women, just to break open that. And it's
the New York Knicks. And I'm from Philly, but it's the freaking New York Knicks. Yes. Would I take
Any NBA job?
No, I will say this.
The NBA has to be ready for a female head coach.
You can't just interview somebody and say, we're going to hire her.
I would have loved that for Don.
But I'm so glad that it didn't happen because that means she'll still be in South Carolina
with us gamecocks for another year.
You know what I mean?
I would have loved that for her, though, okay?
I would have loved it for New York.
I thought it would have been dope.
It would have been dope.
It would have been history.
Oh, I would have loved it.
We'd have put out uncommon in favor too immediately.
Period.
Make sure you go get Don Stanley's New York Times bestselling book on Comic Fable,
available everywhere.
Books are sold right now.
I need to get one more audio in because she talked about why they weren't ready for her.
She's happy that it didn't happen because they weren't ready.
Let's take a listen.
I think I probably lost a job by asking this question,
or I had a series of questions that I asked them.
One was, I said, has the New York Knicks organization in its history ever had what you're looking for?
They wanted a team.
They wanted inclusiveness with management and the coaches and everyone wanted to feel like a team, you know, a closely knit franchise.
And the answer was really no.
If you don't hire anybody different, how are you going to get that?
And then my other question was, if you hired me as the first female coach, how would it impact your daily job?
Because it would.
Because you're going to be asked questions that you don't have to be asked if you hire a male coach.
There's going to be the media.
There's going to be all this stuff that you're going to have to deal with.
that you didn't have to deal with
and you don't have to deal with
when you hire a male.
And then I felt the energy change after that.
So I shot myself in the foot by being a Leah,
being inquisitive, asking all this darned questions.
No, you did not, okay?
You did exactly what God wanted you to do, Don.
And God wanted you to still be in South Carolina
with the gamecocks,
because we got another national championship
to win this year.
Damn, my God.
And speaking to South Carolina,
this Monday at noon,
myself and the Black Effect Podcast Network
are sponsoring a free day
at the International African American Museum
in Charleston, South Carolina.
A mission is absolutely free, free, free.
So I want everybody to pull up, gather your elders,
gather your kids,
and come join us this Labor Day
at the International African American Museum
in Charleston, South Carolina at noon.
14 Wharf Side Street.
Admission is free until they close on Monday.
Love it.
All right.
And that is the latest with Lauren.
Now, this is my last thing.
No, we got to go.
I just want to say because Venus Williams win
was the first time she won
a woman's doubles since 2014 without Serena.
was a historic win because I wanted to make sure I said this.
Yes. Go ahead. I'm done. I promise.
Go ahead. And we go.
That is. That is late as with Laura.
Yes, it is. Thank you.
Why is you couldn't? Doing that.
You, oh, who was?
Because you hate black men.
Oh, you hate everybody.
Oh, my God.
That was a terrible comeback.
Okay.
You hate everybody. You hate everybody.
See, that was horrible.
You just leave me alone.
Don't tell me stop. You stop. Leave me alone.
Doggie of the day is up next.
If you want to give us somebody doggy,

Hey, Karen.
Who you want to give the biggest he haul to this morning?
Oh, boy.
Troy Taylor, Cincinnati man.
Damn.
Troy Taylor.
What's up?
Why do you want to give him the biggest he hawk?
He says he was accused of felonious assault after allegedly having sex without disclosing his HIV positive status.
Oh, yeah.
He's 34 years old.
He knew he was HIV positive.
No, this is 34.
Oh, this is a public start.
Oh, you got to ask you to do article.
Okay, okay.
Yeah.
Oh, I thought you was just calling up here to put somebody on blast.
Like, you know, you went to the.

He has been arrested.
He was arrested by Coleraine Township.

Who you want to get the biggest he-haught-to-J-A?
I'm giving the doctor the date.
I have been there.
The who?
Has been men.
As been men.
You know, men could always talk about their past.
I was just listening to David Justice the other day.
Talking about if I'd say, me and Hallie would still be married.
I don't like men to talk about who they were because those do the way.
Oh, I get you.
You're talking about the damn, homie.
In high school, you were the man, homies.
But, I mean, that is part of his life, though.
He was married to Holly.
I mean, you know.
Yeah, but he was finessing us.
We'd still be married if I was mature.
We ain't trying to hear all that day.
But what you got going on now?
So I don't like As Ben Men.
Oh, I thought he said they would have still been together
If she knew how to cook a clean
Oh, I messed that story up
He said that too
But he was like
If I was mature enough
He said he married
She would have dropped him eventually
I just don't like men
That'd be flexing about this way
Why are you mad at that
If he would have done the work
And he'd have been more mature
They probably would have still been together
That's probably true
This is his donkey, let him give it
That is true
You're right
Thank you Jay
My don't
I take him out of Charlotte man
And I can give it to Jerry Jones
But I'm not
I'm just gonna ride to the man that has me

Which Club crew, but especially DJ Andy.
Mm-hmm. Why?
You got to get with Andy.

Monday, Tuesday. I forget which one. You did the donkey.
It was for the beef bandit.
Yes, the beef bandit.
The way y'all...
He had all that meat in his pants.
The way y'all all handled.
Yeah, yeah.
The way y'all all handled his situation was crazy.
First of all, but DJ Envy made this slurps sound in the microphone.
Listen, he made this slurps sound.
I had my volume all the way up.
That was crazy, Envy.
But I don't understand why you upset that Envy likes to hear stories about men with a lot of meat in their pants.
Like, why is that a problem for you?
That's my facts.
That sounds probably, God.
I was on the way to work.
I had my volume up.
His mouth was water.
It made you uncomfortable.
It made you uncomfortable
The NB was hungry?
I don't get it
That explains me, though
That's the, look,
wasn't me
I don't know why people get married

I'm not gay, I'm not gay
Charlamagne is gay
If I'm gay, Charlotte gay

We are the Breakfast Club.
Lawn LaRosa is here.

We got a special guest in the building.
We have Miles Minnick.
Welcome.
Did I see your last name right?

You did.
You did.
Yes, sir.
What's good, man.
I'm blessed.
Howly flavor, man.
It's a blessing.
to be here for show.
Happy to have you, man.
You got an album coming out called Today,
well, August 29,
called Via, how you pronounce it?
Via della Rosa.
I was listening to it.
The best way to describe it
is a bunch of spiritual slaps.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Or like slaps for the song.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah, yeah.
Do you think there's a ceiling
on how well a Christian-based artist
can do in mainstream?
No.
Okay.
No, I don't.
I think we can take it
as far as anybody else could take it.
Because at the end of the day,
is us talking about our real life experiences, you know what I'm saying?
A rap is all about being authentic to yourself.
So for me, I'm being true to me.
Like, I'm a kid from Cali.
I'm a kid that fell in love with Jesus, you know what I'm saying?
And so I mix all that into the music.
I want to know when that happened.
Was it already in you as a kid growing up or did something happen to say,
nah, I'm going to shift my life for this?
No, it was definitely, it was not in me when I was a kid.
Like, church was never like a mandatory thing in my household.
You know what I'm saying?
Like the most that we would ever do when it came to God was like,
like prayer for our food you know what I'm saying so for me I'll never forget I was 16
years old in the middle of a smoking session I was a huge pot head my friend Dante was like
hey bro nothing wrong with that burning bush no I'm from the earth man God me for you and me
miles I feel yeah but it had a stronghold of me back then so like I'll never forget my friend
Dante was like bro we should go to church right now when you're high mid smoking session you went there
like we that sounds like a hot thought wait please talk us to this yeah yeah he said we should go right now
I'm like, like, for what?
He's like, no, you don't understand.
Was it on Sunday?
It was a Wednesday night.
So it was a Bible study.
Yeah, yeah, it's for the youth group.
He's like, yo, all the high school girls is there.
You know what I'm saying?
To be lit.
Like, trust me, let's go.
And so they talk me into it.
How old were you?
16.
I was 16.
I was 16.
All the high school.
Yeah.
I just want to make sure about it.
Oh, my God.
Now I know why you're into Jesus.
Oh.
And so, we got there.
But the youth group is.
closed that night. So he went to the main
service with the adults. And me being the
main one who didn't want to be there, I'm like on the edge
of my seat, like, actually, like, listening
and, like, tapped in. And I had
no, like, prior experience to church. I don't know the
rules of it or nothing, but I know, like, I felt something.
I never felt before. And then the pastor
did an altar call at the end. Out of this
packed church, I was the only one to go to
the front. Tears in my eyes, I don't even know why I'm crying.
And then he prayed for me.
And I literally felt like God took away one
how it gave me anewan. And then
I started to investigate what that feeling was.
And that let me hear.
Now,
got to thank the weed.
That's God, man.
The weed is from the earth.
You and your man got high.
And he got a calling,
and he led you right where you needed to be.
He said, you got to thank the weed.
It's true, though.
It led you right where you need to be.
Dang.
God could use whatever he want to use.
That's right.
You know what I said he gave you a new eye.
So what did you start seeing with the new eye?
Well, a new high.
Oh, new high.
A new high.
New eyes, too, for show.
But, like, like, to wrap up to the OI.
Yeah, no, I'm just wondering because I know, like, a lot of times people say, like,
when people get baptized, for instance, or at least in black churches, when you get baptized, it's...

Hey, sis, what if I could promise you you never had to listen to a condescending finance bro?
Tell you how to manage your money again.
Welcome to Brown Ambition.
This is the hard part when you pay down those credit cards.
If you haven't gotten to the bottom of why you were racking up credit or turning to credit
cards, you may just recreate the same problem a year from now. When you do feel like you are
bleeding from these high interest rates, I would start shopping for a debt consolidation loan,
starting with your local credit union, shopping around online, looking for some online lenders
because they tend to have fewer fees and be more affordable. Listen, I am not here to judge.
It is so expensive in these streets. I 100% can see how in just a few months you can have this
much credit card debt when it weighs on you. It's really easy to just like stick your head
the sand it's nice and dark in the sand even if it's scary it's not going to go away just because
you're avoiding it and in fact it may get even worse for more judgment free money advice
listen to brown ambition on the i heart radio app apple podcast or wherever you get your podcast
opposed to be like okay now i'm like i can start fresh yeah i've repented and all the things
so i was wondering if you had that feeling of like instantly here's some things i'm going to let go
or like what was the renewed feeling yeah so it was definitely a process for me to like let go
the old ways you know what I'm saying because I was like the party dude like I would gather all my
friends from the school like let's go to this function let's go to the whoop or whatever and so
I would try to be on that same road but I never forget like I'll have like 30 people with me
walking to a party and then I'm I'll walk slower and slower and just like go home dip you know what
what I'm saying and I try to say out of the streets because I had like my appetite
slowly but surely started to change after that day for sure what's the difference between a
Christian-based artists and a gospel artist?
I guess
it depends. Like, if you want to get into like
the worship, like
singing type of music,
I would say the gospel genre versus
the Christian or CCM, which is a contemporary
Christian, gospel is more so
like black church. And CCM
is more like, you know,
evangelical, the white church.
You know what I mean? So like, Kirk Franklin
is like gospel. Elevation
worship is like CCM.
You know what I mean? And your music,
Like, are you trying to, because, not even, your visuals as well, I saw the, um, the video you put up where you were doing Hafei forgot.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, mm-hmm.
Are you trying to, um, like, do you want to reach people who are already Christians, already believers, or do you use, you mix the medicine with the candy?
Uh-huh, uh-huh, to bring in people that should, that you want to deliver and bring to the word.
Like, what's your focus?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So definitely, like, I definitely want to reach people that I believe what I believe, but I would say my main focus right now is reaching folks that, that don't necessarily believe what I believe.
You know what I mean?
and that's why like
everything that on my Instagram right now
is tailored towards
reaching people who don't have
the same experiences as me
as far as God is concerned
but may have the same like street experiences as me
or like a fan of hip
yeah yeah for sure
and I felt so bad feeling like this
but when I went to your Instagram I was like
he doesn't give
what people would think when they hear
Christian artists or gospel based artists
like but I have in my church
I got homies in my church that are like
they Jordans and sneaker lovers and all that stuff you know what I mean but I think people have like this idea of like what a young Christian leader or whatever should be like but you were complete opposite aesthetic everything yeah yeah for sure for sure I mean I mean I mean like I don't want to be something I'm not you know what I'm saying I want to be unapologetically who God made me to be you know what I'm saying I grew up in a one parent household I grew up doing drug selling drugs I'm brother in jail right now you know what I mean it's like the culture I grew up in it's hard to extract that from my DNA so it's
just get what you get.
You know what I mean?
I was going to actually with your family dynamic, like,
because you said you didn't grow up with God in the house as much.
Correct.
So are they?
Big shout out.
Shout out to Pops, man.
Yeah, the OG, Jeff Minnick Sr.,
West Pittsburgh, California.
He's my biggest fan for show.
He doesn't necessarily live the life that I live.
He's still the OG out there.
He's about 60 right now, but still, like, going to them clubs.
Okay.
Yeah.
All in the club.
And from my brother Jeffrey, I think he'll be out in a couple weeks, actually.
How long have you been done?
He's been down for a few years.
Oh, wow, wow.
A few years, yeah, yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
So, yeah, God has been working on them, too, in themselves.
So looking forward to that.
So what you want to play up the album?
Let's play the method, man.
All right, let's play the method, man, featuring E40 and La Cray, man, from the west to the world.
Let's get it.
And the album is out today.
The album is out right now.
Right now.
We're still kicking it with Miles Minnick.
His new album, Via Deloroso, is out now.
Who is your influence?
just coming out as a Christian rapper.
Who was somebody like, I like the way he does it?
Lecrae.
Lucre was.
For sure, for sure.
He was the pioneer of this whole lane and even taking it to the mainstream.
Like, win a four Grammys, being the first one of us from our lane to be on Breckers Club
to have a number one album in 2015, like what we're talking about.
So to see, like, the music is incredible for sure, but even like the branding, the movement,
him having a label, him putting on other artists.
And it was an easy example to follow, for sure.
You, y'all going on a tour together, right?
Yes, sir.
It's a global tour, I think I heard.
Yes, sir.
Wow.
Yeah.
Well, he's actually starting a global run right now.
He's going to Europe, Australia, Africa.
I'm just doing the North American run.
Oh, okay, okay, okay.
But yeah, we're doing 30 plus cities in America for sure.
What was that start?
October 1st.
Wow.
How did you meet?
How did you in Luke Craig meet?
Super crazy story.
And so back in 2014,
2015 he was doing his anomaly tour he came to the Bay Area and I was determined to meet him
but I didn't have meeting greet money and so I snuck by his tour bus and I waited by his tour
bus for hours to meet him after he came out and when he came out I shook his hand I was like
Lecrae you don't know who I am but one day I'm gonna work with you I'm gonna travel the world with
you I'm gonna learn from you and I'm gonna make the same amount of impact on the world as you but take
it to higher heights he yelled security
No, he was like
I believe with you, young brother
And then seven years after that
He reached out to me to do music
Not even knowing that was me
That did that that day
Did you remember?
After I told, yeah
At the end of our video shoot
For our first song
I'm like, remember that kid back in the bay
Who uh, like yeah, that was me?
He's like, you lie
That was you?
Oh my God!
And then like all his wheels
Started turning
But that's a God story, bro
You can't make that up, man
You said you want to do something with Kendrick
When you heard Kendrick
shout out LaCray and D1, did that feel like you was getting closer?
For sure, for sure.
I'm like, six degrees of separation.
We almost there.
Like, he definitely watches.
I'm like, if you know D1 and Craig,
I know you heard one of my songs came down.
I know it.
And then me and Craig dropped the collab project.
I'm like, oh yeah, like, it's a matter of time.
Mad of time.
Do you see yourself as more of a pastor with a beat
or an artist who just happens to preach?
Ooh.
I don't consider myself a pastor with a beat.
a pastor is a heavy title a pastor or somebody like you shepherd a flock like you're there like
like checking in on people and walking them through you know life which i do i guess i pastor a few
people on my team right but pastoring glow nation that's that's a lot that's a lot to do so i consider
myself a man of god uh with with slapping beats you know saying telling my story and reaching the
world so it's crazy because i consider not i don't consider you a pastor but i feel like when
artists make music that is in the gospel realm you are you have followers the same way a pastor would
it's just a different type of church yeah yeah yeah for sure for sure you know it's crazy before this
um i was actually a youth pastor in the bay area and so i really really started to get into like
this kind of music when i was in a church just trying to turn the youth up you know what i mean but now i
just do it just for the rest of the world but i'm doing the same thing i was doing before just on a
largest scale so in a way you're definitely correct for sure do you call uh other hip hop secular music
no okay what do you call it i don't i mean when i'm talking to like my christian audience i do because
that's what they understand but typically i say mainstream or general market artist i don't want to
like alienate and put that title on them like because secular means without god and a lot of
these artists aren't without god they have them they just have a different art form expression
so how do you draw from mainstream hip-hop and culture while still
turning it into something
that's like holy and redemptive?
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
I mean,
I'm within it.
You know what I'm saying?
I'm within the mainstream culture now
and I'm also within the church.
And so when I'm making music,
you get the best of both worlds
without me,
without me compromising either.
You know what I'm saying?
Like when you hear my music,
it's on that level
that you hear on a radio.
And there's also something
that the church could appreciate
and slap.
Like, I'm not breaking
I guess the rules of the church
or disrespecting the Bible. I'm honoring the Bible
and making stuff good enough to hear on a
global level. You feel pressure at all
because a lot of people I'm sure
follow you, listen to you because they feel
like your story is closer
to theirs, right? They came from a certain
place, they did a certain thing and, you know,
people make mistakes. But then when people
look at the church, sometimes they feel like a pastor
acts like they're holier than thou and what they should do.
And then, you know, when they pull a curtain back, it's like
this pastor is cheating on this one or this pastor
just did this, just pass it to that.
So does that give you any way of like
any pressure with what you do in life
outside of the music, personal, the way you walk, etc.?
I mean, with the platform comes pressure for sure
and I definitely don't want to be
the next person to temper somebody's faith
by a certain mistake that I could fall into.
But I mean, you know, we all have temptations
and I got the same amount of temptation
as anybody else with a platform or anybody else, period.
but what keeps me
what keeps me grinding with the right perspective
is having the right ones around me
with safeguards
like my tour manager has my hotel key
um all my
every member of my team has the passwords to my phone
like my team has my
social media logins like
they know what's having they know what's up
because I don't want to fall into that
so there is pressure
but I think it's healthy pressure
were you the first Christian that could be booked
that rolling out for show for show
so let me let me let me
give the context to it so there was a
Christian rap set in
Miami before my set
but that set was
more like Sunday morning
DJ
I don't know why I'm drawn to blank
he's the official DJ everyone allowed
shout out to you bro he books like
eight Christian rappers to come out during his
set so that happened but as official
like I'm going rolling
a loud I'm going to book a Christian artist for a
full set yes
in Los Angeles California and March
and that thing went crazy
Is the DJ, Five Venoms?
Five Venoms.
Five Venoms.
Yeah, shout out to Five Venoms, man.
What role do you think Christian rap plays?
This is my last question.
What role do you think Christian rap plays in bringing, I guess, the church to the streets?
Are you trying to bring the streets to the church?
Like, what is...
I don't want to say all the Christian rap.
This is your music in particular.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
By...
I think my music takes the church to the block with the intention.
of bringing the block to the church.
Yeah, for sure.
Like, when you hear my music,
man, I'll be driving around through L.A., through the bay.
I'll be hearing my stuff through every neighborhood, bro.
Like, slapping in the trunk,
ball, ball, Pau, Compton, Stockton, Richmond,
like, it's reaching them.
But with the intention for them to get closer to God,
you know what I'm saying?
So that's what it is for us.
Yeah, I mean, it's almost impossible for you
to be judgmental because of how you
got bought the God.
Yeah.
You're smoking that weed, you know what I mean
For so, like I get it
Like I understand people's struggles, people's stories
Like I lived it
And a lot of my family is still living it
You know, I'm still in it in a lot of ways
And so, hey, love God and love people
Not just people
Miles, we appreciate you for joining us

Via Dolorosa
Yeah, I'm not Latino but I'm not
I'm not sure
Villa Rosa, that's right
It's Miles Minnick
It's the breakfasts couple
What does that mean anyway?
Yeah, Villal Rosa, it translates to
the pathway or the sorrowful road.
It's literally the road that Jesus walked on
when he's carrying his cross.
Are you Mexican?
I am ethnically
ambiguous, you know what I'm saying?
Shout out to my Mexicans, but I'm not Mexican.
I'm half black, half white.

Nali, yes, tell everybody why you're spinning a record.
Not envy with the shameless plug.
Go ahead, plug it in.
All right, well, today I'm about to plug you guys
with a few new joints.
I want to start with this R&B record
from a new R&B artist named Nali.
She's from Brooklyn.
She dropped the tape last week called I Love Nali.
But it's like the DNA Equal type of R&B.
Oh, dope.
Yeah.
But this record's called All Day.
That's hard.
I like that.
I like that little vibe.
Yes.
It gets better the beat.
drops but you know oh man it feels like it could have been an intro for the Cosby show yes something I'm
screaming a little bit in a good way though I like it cool all right I love that okay good so
definitely check out Nali her biggest record is actually the single called crossfated but that's just
my favorite one off of the tape um next I'm gonna go into this YG and Leon Thomas record it's called
Lovers and Friends they actually did a music video for it too that's pretty fire but I like I like
the bounce in this song I like it
Leon.
That's hard.
If a man asks you that,
how do you respond?
If a man say,
we love us or all we friends.
What do y'all say?
Oh, I just like the question off the rip.
We love us,
all we friends.
I love the question.
But what if a man asks you that?
What do you reply back?
I'm not going to lie.
A guy has sent me the R. Kelly record,
homie lover friend,
and I stopped talking to him.
Me lover friend.
Oh, like you all three?
Yeah.
You don't like that?
You don't like being his homie as lover and his friend?
No, because you wasn't,
no.
If you got to ask a girl
that she probably just got you
her phone is best either or something.
You know what I'm saying? Probably.
Yeah, don't be putting no labels on me like that.
We're dating or we're not.
Ain't no hummy lover friend.
Personally.
Tough tune though, tough tune, Leon.
I like it.
I love that.
Okay, cool.
Leon never missed for me.
That's a fact.
He's on a roll right now.
So next, I want to get into this Osmond Benjamin joint.
He dropped the project about a month ago.
I've been sitting with it, and this takes a village record.
I really, I love the messaging in this record, but this one's my favorite.
Like, I got to hear it again.
I got to hear more of it.
More, yeah.
Yeah, I want to hear the whole song.
It's all right.
Okay, okay.
Shout out to Osmond.
And then my last-New York?
Yeah.
Okay.
Shout out to Oswin.
And then my last record is, of course, off of Joey's new tape.
And I didn't get to sit with the projects, so I don't really have any thoughts on the full album yet.
But this super flea record, I thought would be great for radio, featuring Bree Steves.
It's good, man.
I like it.
