Timberwolves lead the series 3-1. It's a wrap for them Lakers. Just need y'all to know that okay. Which y'all knew LeBron James and Luka Doncic wasn't going you know they can't win things by themselves. It's just them two. Other than that that's not a deep team at all. Yeah the Pistons lost to the Knicks last night 94-93. So the Knicks, of

course, lead the series 3-1 and the Celtics lead the series 3-1. They beat the Magic 107-98. All right, what we got Morgan? Welcome back. Thank you. First, let me just say thanks to Bree and Mimi for holding it down and let's get into it. Yeah, first up on the front page, Congress is back in session today, y'all, on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., after a two-week recess. So yesterday, on Sunday, Congressman Hakeem Jeffries of New York, he is a Democrat and a Democrat Senator Cory Booker of New Jersey, they spent some time on the steps of the U.S. Capitol doing a live stream. They called it a sit-down protest and discussion on what House Minority Leader Jeffries claims

is the dangerous situation we confront in America. Now, they spoke about the impact of the forthcoming GOP spending bill. Let's take a listen to House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries' comments. This is a time to choose, and we're either going to choose the side of the American people or we're going to choose this cool budget that Republicans are trying to jam down the quotes of the American people that would effectively take away health care potentially for tens of millions of Americans, children, seniors and families and people with disabilities and veterans and others take away food from the mouths of children, undermine the ability of people

to survive who've worked hard their entire lives, all in service of a massive tax cut for their billionaire donors. So Senator Booker, he talked about the GOP spending bill as well. In fact, in a post on X, he said congressional Republicans are preparing to gut Medicaid and essential services to give the ultra wealthy a tax cut. He was also on the steps yesterday of the U.S. Capitol. Let's take a listen to his comments. We believe presents one of the greatest moral threats to our country that we've seen in terms of what it will do to providing food for the hungry, care for the elderly, services for the disabled, health care, health care

for the sick and more. And also, happy belated birthday to Cory Booker. He spent his birthday doing that. So speaking of marking occasions, President Trump prepares to mark 100 days back in office this week, which is set to come tomorrow on Tuesday, April 29th. Now, this all comes as recent national polls indicate the president is not having the sweeping support that he may think he has. NBC News Stay Tuned poll found 55% of Americans disapprove of how Trump is handling the presidency, while 45% approve on immigration, one of his strongest issues during the 2024 election. The poll found that just over half disapprove of his policies

while only 49% approve. Meanwhile, the economy proved to be his weakest issue. Only 39% are satisfied with his economic agenda, while 61% are voicing their opposition. And overall, 60% of those surveyed believe the US is on the wrong track while 40% Say it's on the right one And when it comes to tariffs a national poll shows that nearly two-thirds of American disapproval president Trump's tariffs a new ABC News Washington Post ifs this poll shows that seven and ten think the tariffs will increase US inflation Nearly half of Republicans poll think the tariffs will have a negative impact on inflation. But there are also some Republicans who believe that it could create manufacturing jobs and bring those back to the US. So that includes 90% of Republicans

and 60% of independents. It is funny when people talk about those manufacturing jobs because I mean, number one, it takes quite a few years, several years to even build a factory but then When you think about what the country's gonna look like in five to ten years most of those manufacturing jobs are gonna be AI anyway Absolutely, you're not wrong there. You're not wrong there at all, but that pretty much wraps up the 6 a.m I want to say one other thing to Morgan when you look at the lower approval ratings that Trump and you look at the lower approval ratings of Democrats it just lets you know a lot of Americans are just fed up with it all like very right country the country needs

something different here overhaul complete you know what you know wrong in saying that you're not wrong and saying and I think I think you're definitely on the right track when you're saying that yeah everybody seems to be fed up you know and just fed up with it all yeah it's really it really starts with the pockets you know and that's where it seems to be fed up, you know, and just fed up with it all. Yeah, it's really, it really starts with the pockets, you know, that's where it really boils down to, you know, so yeah, you know, I'm gonna keep y'all posted on what's going on at 7 a.m. We gonna talk about Shador though, you know,

we gotta get into what happened with Shador Sanders. He finally got selected by Cleveland, but we'll get into the drama a little bit. All right, and everybody else get it off your chest 800-585-1051 if you need to vent phone lines are wide open again 800-585-1051 It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning the Breakfast Club This is your time to get it off your chest 800-5585-1051. We want to hear from you on the Breakfast Club.

Hello, who's this? Hey, good morning. This is James calling from North Carolina. James from North Carolina. What up? Get it off your chest. Yeah, man. I was just thinking over the weekend about this whole Shannon Sharp incident. And I was thinking about the double standard in it. Not the part about the assault or whatever, but I mean, as far as him being the age that he is and how young the lady is, if you flip the roles, man,

I guarantee it wouldn't be such a big deal. I mean, look at that movie, How Stella Got Her Rue Back. The women were celebrating that mess, man. There's this woman who was 40 years old, she's a 20 year old guy. And then on top of that, you got like a share with dating some dude that was like 40 years her junior.

I ain't hear too much about that. You know what I mean? When you have to do all those mental gymnastics and hypotheticals, you know, to prove why somebody should be doing what they're doing, they probably shouldn't be doing it. Like I said, it's not against the law, but I think it's totally wrong. I don't think it's ethically right, morally right.

I mean, you could have said juice, you know, with Q, he was dating his teacher, but That's a movie. I know, but it ain't movies though, but those are movies. But I don't think it's right even with Billacheck. Billacheck is 70 something years old and he met that girl at 21. I don't think it's right. You know what I mean boy, you know I'm not even having this comes It's so much nuance with this conversation.

I think that y'all are not factoring in so many different things that are part of this situation and why Shannon is in this conversation. Well, no, I mean, don't get me wrong, sir, man. Don't get me wrong, man. I agree with you and Andy with the whole age thing. I got a daughter that's 20 years old, man. I couldn't date a person that much younger than me.

But I'm just saying, you know what I'm saying? It's the double standard there. It's not even just the age thing, though. It's the audio phone call and him saying he was gonna choke the girl out. Whether or not that was role playing or not, I don't know. You know, it's the text messages. I guess a lot of things that factor into this situation.

Not just, it's not just as simple as, he's 56, she was 19. But I totally get what you're saying too, sir, like on the other side. Cause even when the gays do it, I'd be like, what? Like, cause when the old studs be dating the young girls, I'd be like, uh-uh, what you want with her? You know, cause my sister is 21.

And what if a 60 year old stud came up to her? I would kill her. You know what I mean? And you talking about a 56 year old man who had so much to lose. Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should because you have to know who you are. You gotta know what you got, you stand to lose in this situation.

He just put himself in a bad situation to be 56 years old. Get it off your chest, 800-585-1051. If you need the vent, hit us up now. It's The Breakfast Club. Y'all do not. The Breakfast Club. Ray'all do not. The Breakfast Club. Ray, Ray, Ray. Yo, Charlamagne.

Kenzie, what up? Are we live? This is your time to get it off your chest. I got an indoor pool, an outdoor pool. We want to hear from you on the Breakfast Club. We can get on the phone right now. He'll tell you what it is. We live?

Hello, who's this? Oh, man, binary. All right. Peace and blessings, live. Hello, who's this? Oh man, finally. Peace and blessings, guys. How you guys doing this morning? Shawn Stone. Shawn. Hey, good morning, Jess Hilarious. Hey, hey. Also DJ Evy.

Also, Shawn made a guy. Peace, Shawn Stone. Oh, it sound like you didn't even wanna say nothing a while ago, brother. You need to stop being so insecure I'm not insecure brother Stone Yeah, I was just I was just driving in my truck doing my sanitation job

Yeah, Travis's studio caught on fire and he was asking for people to donate and I was like, it would be a big deal if Sean Stone said, you know what, I'm gonna put my differences aside and donate to his engineer. But you know what's so crazy, Jess? I don't have a problem with Trav. I did donate that shit. I donated $10 that same day.

I told you he's a good dude. I told you Sean's a good dude. Yeah, and so if Trav don't believe, you could go to the guy, um, Pitch, you know what I mean, on the Go For Me, and you would see Shawn Stone name right there that I donated $10, you know what I mean? That's dope, I think y'all should use this

to put your issues aside and just continue on. Envy, envy, I don't have a problem with Trav. He's the one that have a problem with me. He's the one that don't like me for no reason. You know what I mean? He don't like me. He don't like me. And also.

And I don't mean because she won, she bled for her art. And it always felt like to me after the attitude era, once a wrestler gets cut and you see real blood coming out of their mouth or real blood coming out of their head, the crowd kind of goes, hey, respect.

And they kind of give you that nod, right? You go, wow, every one of these guys is bleeding for the road. Bro, that's literally like blood, sweat, and tears. It's all they got is blood.

Liar. Well, wow. This is a crazy segue. TD Jakes is stepping down as senior pastor at the Potter Tows Church in Dallas. He announced it this past Sunday at during his one of his services. Let's take a listen. I've seen too many men build something and stay so long that they kill what they build. What you gotta understand is, it's not so important that you just know when to grab a hold.

It's knowing when to let go. What you didn't know from November forward, they've been running the church anyway. They're not meant to replace me because nobody can. But if they step into this position, they may extend me. Y'all just played three clips back to back with no context? Yeah, so the second one was TD Jakes after he announced that his daughter, Sergei Roberts, and Pastor Torrey Roberts would be taking over the church.

He just had the church like welcome them. He explained that, you know, we heard him say. And go ahead, show me, I know you had something to say. No, I was just gonna say I love Bishop TD Jakes. That man has helped me get through so much just listening to his sermons over the years, reading his books, and being able to develop a personal relationship with him. I love that man and I want to thank Bishop TD Jakes for all his service. Drop on the clues, Bonds for Bishop TD Jakes. Yeah, and he talked about the scare that he had in November as well. And for those of you guys who don't remember, back in November he was preaching. was preaching and while he was preaching he went down on stage at the time. They just said it was a medical emergency

We didn't really know what happened, but then TJ's came out and said that it was actually a massive heart attack He had no idea cuz there was no he didn't have the typical symptoms of going into a heart attack He just felt like he was going to sleep and a doctor. I told him not like five minutes later He would have been dead on arrival to the hospital. So it was a serious heart attack. So you know, yeah. And he also said that he's taking some time to go out and do some more things in the community. So, okay. Yeah.

But I also want to say when I tell you Bishop TD Jakes is passing the torch to more than capable individuals, Pastor Torrey and Pastor Sarah Jakes Roberts, they both was at the Black Effect podcast festival this past weekend. And I told Torrey, I said, brother, you and Pastor Sarah are on divine assignment because the impact that they have on people, especially young people is incredible. Every young person around me at the festival

wanted to meet them. One of my young mentees, Marcus Scott, another young mentee, Nailah McPherson. When I tell you these people love Pastor Sarah and Pastor Torrey, so Sarah and Torrey have the ability to bring a whole new flock of people to the church. So salute the Bishop Jakes and Pastor Sarah and Pastor Torrey. I call them the first family of faith. I love those individuals. Yeah, and I got to meet them too thanks to Charlamagne. I was like, no, it's too much because everybody was like fit, like going crazy over them. And I was like,

I don't want to meet them. It's too much. But I used to go to their church in LA years ago. And a lot of people if you've been in LA and lived there for a while, one church was like the church that like, you go, it helps you get through your experience because it's tough when you're moving and transitioning. So I got to tell them that and as I was talking, I felt myself getting a little emotional. I'm like, why am I? But they really do symbolize like a time in like your life in LA when you're trying to figure things out and you go to their church trying to you know, and they give you that so people were in tears. Yeah,

meeting pastor Sarah this weekend, Black Effect podcast best for and I know Sarah don't need me to because she's divinely protected. But I'll flip that tables for Sarah James Roberts. You hit me. Amazing. Yeah. Well, we wrap it up now. So I come back to the next. Yeah. I look real quick though. Yo, so I went to get my nails done in Jersey City. Thank you. You know, just give them a little time. Right. And what I noticed was talking to the Asian woman who was doing my nails. Yo, like the tariffs directly just to see it in real time how it affects

everybody is crazy because she was saying like her her inventory like she's running out of stuff and because there are tariffs on China she don't know when it's coming no way yeah and like to buy she can buy the same stuff in America but it's so much money it's expensive here and it's so she's like I'm damned if I you know shopping for my products in America so I may not have my shop too much longer. This is my bread and butter. I've been doing this for 45 years. She's been doing nails for 45 years.

An older lady named Mimi in Jersey City. So, like, just to see how it affects people in real time. I mean, I know it's real, but to hear her testimony, just tell me why she's doing my nails, and I'm like, damn, you know. I didn't even think about nails. Yeah. That's interesting, because she could, like, damn, you know. I didn't even think about nails. Yeah. That's interesting because she could like triple

her prices, right? But then what about all the other nail salons around her? Are they going to do that? They probably going to have to. But the thing is, yeah. I'm sure they're all dealing with the same thing. So now your nail, regular nail job won't cost probably three times as much as they used to.

Yes, and nail techs cost more than the shops. You know what I mean? But they're more creative and they're more convenient because they can come to you and stuff, but she's like, she don't wanna increase her prices because she's been there for 45 years. She don't have to. And she got clients that been coming to her,

you know who it is, had kids, generations and generations, like she got families that come to her, so she don't want to. They have to do like a tariff tax on it. They have to. She from a $25 pedicure, $25 manicure days. I love that type of nail techs. And she the $25 pedicure, $25 manicure days. I love that type of tax.

And she is so heartbroken over that, yo. Wow. Horrible. Wanted to share that. Alright, well that was the latest with Lauren. When we come back we got front page news so don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

You're checking out the Breakfast Club. Morning everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the God. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get back to some front page news Now it's a quick sports New York Knicks beat the Pistons 94 93 they lead the series 3-1 I know Detroit's mad about that one, but they were physical the whole game So how you gonna not caught make a call at the last play when they were physical the whole game

So great missed call Minnesota Timberwolves beat the LA Lakers 11 16 1 13 Minnesota leads 3 1 Celtics beat Orlando Magic Boss to lead the series 3 1 and the Pacers beat the Bucs they lead the series 3 1 as well. What's up Morgan? Yeah, that's good. Let's continue Conversate conversing. Excuse me. Hello Monday about sports. Okay, the wait is over for Chadoors Sanders I know we was all watching to see when he would go be drafted, right? So as you mentioned on Friday, he did end up in Cleveland, but it was not in the second round instead It was the fifth round y'all Shadour is the son of Hall of Famer and Colorado head coach Dion prime-time Sanders

The former Colorado quarterback was drafted fifth in the fifth round by the Cleveland Browns Sanders who many thought would go in the first round. Of course, again, as I mentioned, you guys thought the second round, but he slid all the way down to the 160th pick overall. So let's take a listen to what he had to say following his selection after that was made. Let's hear from Shador Sanders. Things happen. We have sometimes adversity. We got to change it though. We got to do different. We got to do different. We can't control the uncontrollable. We gotta change it though. We gotta do different. We gotta do different.

We can't control the uncontrollable. You can't control that. So you just gotta remain positive, stay happy at all times and know God got you. I knew the whole time God had me. So I wasn't really panicking because I understood it's about perfect timing. Man, drop one of those bombs

and Shadoah sandals, man. Absolutely. Everything happens the way God wants it to happen, and that's what I love the most about the way Shadoah handled that situation all weekend. He laughed, we never saw him get frustrated, he didn't have no sense of entitlement, he didn't blame nobody,

he just simply kept giving God the glory, and I loved that. That showed me everything I needed to know about his character and his attitude. The fact that he was just like, yo, whatever God got planned is gonna happen. Like he never let his faith waver. And I loved that about Shador Sanders, man.

Salute to him. But there was a lot of, you know, speculation as to why it happened the way it happened. But to your point, you know, and to his point, God's timing, you know, nobody, nobody can control that, period. And I will say this, if Sh dog goes to the NFL and he sucks, all that collusion talk is out the window.

If he, if he goes to the NFL and he's not good and he proved all those teams who passed on him, correct. So let's pray he proves them wrong. That's right. All right. So yeah, meanwhile, the son of Atlanta Falcons head coach is admitting to the childish prank Jack Ulbricht. He apologized for prank calling Shador Sanders

during day two of the draft. Now defensive coordinator Ben Ulberich's son impersonated New Orleans Saints general manager Mickey Loomis and told the Colorado quarterback that he was going to take him with the next pick. And then Sanders ended up falling to the Browns in round five. So.

Oh, I didn't hear that one. The one I heard was the one where he told them, you're gonna have to wait a little bit longer. I didn't hear the one that he said, I'm gonna pick you next. It was only one call. So maybe he said it on both calls. I heard he said he had. I only heard the one part where he said,

you're gonna have to wait a little bit longer. By the way, giving them donkey at a day to day, but that was hilarious. Come on now. I think it did to somebody else too. That's not funny. He should get his ass whooped though. It was funny.

That was hilarious. Cut it out. That ain't funny when you sit there waiting to get your name The question is what type of punishment can you know that that child or even the person um, well Coordinator like what kind of punishment what how y'all gonna handle that? And that's why I'm giving them donkey today because you know In that moment he didn't care about what his daddy's profession was like you got to care about you You you got to care about what your daddy does because you bring in negative attention and light to him And I know that's true. Also a switching gears a Louisiana judge says a two-year-old US citizen has been deported with no due process. On Friday, a toddler was sent to Honduras with her mother who had been deported.

Now, it is important to note that the mother does not have legal status in the United States. So Judge Terry Daughtry, who was appointed by President Trump, ordered a hearing to be held next month on the issue. Now, he says the hearing is in the interest of dispelling our strong suspicion that the government just deported a U. a US citizen with no meaningful process. So it's also being reported that three children and as I mentioned the two-year-old have allegedly been deported to Honduras illegally. The two-year-old as I mentioned before and then there's a four-year-old and a seven-year-old with another mother. Now

that mother also did not have legal status and the four-year-old is actually being treated for cancer so that's absolutely horrible that you know that would happen in the midst of treatment. Now on CNN State of the Union Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer slams President Trump following those allegations saying the administration is violating the rule of law and Americans are not happy about it. Let's take a listen to Senator Schumer. This is not the only instance. There are reportedly other instances where U. where US citizen children were deported without

any due process. Due process is a hallmark of what our country is all about. Rule of law and ICE and Trump seem to break it in every single way. Right now, President Trump is violating rule of law in every way. We're fighting him every single day. So yeah, Schumer was also asked about the possibility of impeaching Trump But he said it's too soon to decide also noting that you know, the Dems do not control the Senate or the house So that would not be

Yeah This would be a third time getting impeached what's that gonna do but you know what Morgan I did not know I did not know Until you said it about the two-year-old. I mean, I knew about the two-year-old getting deported, but all the news reports just kept saying that a two-year-old got deported. I didn't know that the mother had got deported because she wasn't a citizen. Yeah, she doesn't know that. I didn't know that. That's going to be a, you know, a big thing. This is probably going to be one of those,

what do you call the first case, the precedent case, in what's going to probably be a long-standing situation for a lot of migrants? So it's something to watch. And if I can, I know we're probably running out of time, but random story I thought that was very, very interesting. A new data from Lending Tree shows a growing number of Americans are using credit now to buy groceries. A survey of 2,000 consumers ages 18 to 79 found that 50% reported using

credit to help lower, excuse me, cover the cost of food. About 25% of those surveyed said they used to, they used buy now pay later loans for groceries now. Damn. Yeah, groceries. I mean, we know about, you know, big electronics, things like that, or, you know, other things like furniture, whatever, you know, I ain't got a couch just, you know big electronics things like that or you know other things like furniture whatever you know I ain't got a couch just you know panel I've been doing I've been using credit for groceries though you know just instead of using liquid cash you know for my business or whatever so I mean that's big using cash but but that's crazy to have to do that to eat you know

financing absolutely yeah I think using credit on groceries is you know fine if you find that to be Feasible for you in terms of you know, like any of the kickbacks you get for your credit cards or stuff like that rewards You know, I might swipe, you know the the the travel card for you know You want to get the rewards back and stuff like that, but you know, like you're saying by now pay later is definitely a sign of the times essentially Yeah, but that's your front page news Y'all y'all following me on social at Morgan Media and for more news coverage Make sure you are following at black information network download the free I heart radio app and visit us at BIN news.com

Thank y'all. I thank you Morgan now when we come back, let's open up the phone lines 800 585 105 1 just just broke down her experience at a nail shop this weekend where the owner said that you know she might have to close because she can't get product, she has to raise the prices, things are too expensive. So the question is how are tariffs affecting you? 800-585-105-51 or you're a business owner or you're a regular consumer. How is it affecting you? Call us up right now.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. It's topic time. Call 800-585-1051 to join into the discussion with the Breakfast Club. Morning everybody it's DJ Envy Jus Hilarious Charlamagne the guy we are the Breakfast Club if you're just joining us we open up the phone lines. 800-585-1051. We're asking how have the tariffs affected you?

Now this conversation comes from Jess was getting her nails done over the weekend. Tell the people what happened Jess. Yeah, so I was getting my nails done in Jersey City, you know, nice little, I mean nail salon and the lady who was doing my nails, she is the owner and she's been doing nails for over 40 years and she was saying that the tariffs are affecting her faster than she thought they would because she's running out of inventory and she orders her stuff but she don't know when it's coming. It's high as hell and you know, even when they do pay, it's not even only the price

gouging, like the price increase. It takes a long time to get here. So she was saying like, she don't know how long she's going to be open, how much longer she'll be open because she doesn't want to increase her prices and you know, that's going to make her lose clientele. She had 20 year, 30 year clients and she just, she don't want to, she's going to have to, but she says she don't want to. She was so devastated and it was nobody in there it was nobody it was a nice big shot but I had to get my nails short with the overlay because she

didn't have like any tips y'all know like my nails long she didn't have any tips she didn't have a lot of colors she had ran out of stuff so she did what she could on my nails. I still like Supported her well They're saying that uh some of the major things that I'd be gonna growing up that it affect everybody is first and foremost clothing They said the largest American retailer source apparel from China in Asian countries So footwear and clothing are gonna shoot up. They also said toys So they said almost 80% of the toys sold in the US are imported from China. So that's gonna be going up as well. They said seafood is gonna be going up because of the tariffs.

Excuse me? Yeah, seafood. And Sheen, Sheen hiked their prices, their US prices as much as 377% ahead of tariff increases. And that's the sad part about a lot of this stuff man. Like how many of these corporations are going to hike their prices just because they're greedy and they can blame the hike the price hike on tariffs. And Charlamagne something that it probably affects you nuts. He nuts? Nuts are going up. I do I love I love a honey roasted cashews.

Yeah they're saying with the tariffs they're saying a forty a forty six percent tariff on Vietnam will definitely hurt people that are heavily into nuts. So I know Sheldon. Your nuts come from Vietnamese? I mean, come from Vietnam? Yeah, they say it comes from nuts and also Brazil. Brazil and Vietnam, where we get a lot of our nuts from.

You know where gay comes from? It comes from Queens. That's why it's called Queens. Oh wow. That's why that envy is a queen from Queens. And next next next hour is our next topic. Was there a time you thought you were gay? We're gonna talk about that. Oh my god I love that. What are you talking about?

So envy get ready to tell your story. Because if you don't I will. There's no there's no tariffs on gay sir but coffee and rice and wine and spirits they're saying are gonna be affected as well. Damn, what do we have in America? Like damn, this also lets you know how heavily we depend on other countries as well. God damn, we can't get our own nuts, we ain't got no American nuts. That's because, and this is just my personal opinion, America focuses too much on celebrity. I really do. I feel like America's obsession with celebrity is what led to a celebrity being in the White

House and that's the type of things that people focus on. What actual skills do we teach people in this country? Exactly. Now you're right and we have to get back to the trades like you said. We have to make sure that we, it's not just, I know I love college, I graduated from Hampton University, salute to all my four year schools, but also, like you said, we gotta get back to welding, HVAC, electrical, automotive,

we have to get back to those trade schools. We have to, salute to Lincoln Tech, by the way, but we gotta get back to those trade schools. Salute to Jordan the welder. Jordan the welder was at the Black Effect podcast festival this weekend, man. You know we love Jordan. Jordan is a young woman who, speaking of trade,

she's a welder. That's right. That's right, That's right. And Jordan ain't, I ain't gonna say she, everybody need a little bit extra cash, but she ain't hurting for no money. That's right. Hello, who's this?

Hey, good morning DJ Envy. How you doing? My name is Kamar. What's up Kamar? Talk to us. How are the tariffs affecting you, brother? Oh man, it's been affecting me and my family business. You know, we're not getting a lot of customers.

Secondly, I teach welding at a trade school. Oh, okay. So a lot of the budgeting and stuff is allocated for different stuff over material, not good because we're buying deeper materials for students. So it's not been good for us. Yeah, a lot of people are actually pushing things aside like if they were gonna do something for their

house or do something extra they're just waiting now they're holding on to the money because they don't know when that money is gonna be needed when it's not when it's not gonna be coming in no more so if people want to do things they just got to hold off a little bit which is I'm sure affecting you guys a lot. Absolutely I used to teach at a school that you're familiar with Lincoln Tech. That's my Yeah, we're up there in my walk and I know it's been rough people getting material and stuff because of the tires But yeah, yes, well salute to Lincoln Tech again. I actually my cars are at the my walk campus, but salute to Lincoln Tech I remember man, yeah, you were throwing out about two old school cars, I think a Chevy,

70s Chevy. 67 Corvette and a 67 Pontiac GTO, they both get it. Yeah man, yeah man, they're great man, they're nice. Thank you brother. Yeah man, bless. Have a good one. Hello, who's this? Hey, DJ Indy, my name is Kayla, how you doing?

Hey Kayla, good morning, How has the tariffs affected you? They whooping my ass with my already because I tried to order a specialty made wig from United because United has a Brooklyn like location. But if it's pre-made, of course it's like regular. But I tried to order like a specialty made one that was like chocolate brown. And it was like real long, like 32 inches.

And they tried to add $55 on top of regular taxes on top of that. You know what's crazy? Lauren is in here with a short wig this morning too for the exact same reason. No she is not. Jess had to get shorter wigs. Jess had to get shorter wigs.

We gotta get, Jess gotta do a couple jobs now. I hate this school. What you mean? The way I'm about to just order these regular ass wigs out of Brooklyn. I'm going to have to leave for a second. Damn. What does a regular ass wig out of Brooklyn

That was from the store in Brooklyn, sweetie. Chill. You know what else though, I love having these conversations. Thank you, Kayla. Salute to Kayla.

I love having these conversations because we live in an era where nobody wants to show their struggle. Like social media has everybody wanting to look rich. So you never gonna really know how real it is out here in these streets unless people tell you. Right. Well, 800-585-1051, we're asking, how are the tariffs affecting you?

Morning everybody, it's DJ, Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. If you're just joining us, we're talking about how are the terrorists affecting you? Now this conversation comes from Jess. She was out and about getting her nails done and you spoke to one of the nail shop owners and what did she tell you? She was saying that her inventory is so low because she doesn't know when

her stuff is gonna be delivered. Not only is it high, it's increased in price, but it takes long to get her inventory. She's been waiting for I think a month for her stuff, so she ran out of nail polishes, nail files, and things for pedicures. She can only do, she really couldn't even give me a damn pedicure.

Well, she couldn't complete the service. I wanted my nails done and my toes done, but she didn't have certain things, and she just didn't want to be a disservice. She didn't want to do a disservice, so she was like, I'm sorry. I understand if you don't want to get your nails done. I said I will, just to support you,

but she didn't have tips for her nails. She ran out of acrylic, and it's just really, really sad because she was damn near in tears in there. Let me ask you a question. She not even going to be able to afford to give you a hookup for shouting her out this morning. Next time you go. It's okay.

It is totally okay. I gave her a big tip. I just, you know, basically like a nice donation, but I don't even know if that will help her because they ain't going to make her stuff come. I was going to ask you,, you know speaking to other comedians I know your shows are sold out But are other comedians having a hard time selling our shows because people don't want to go out anymore Absolutely, there's a lot of DJs have been hit man saying that their clubs are not packed that is hard for them to get

You know jobs because people are not going out They're not spending that extra money at the club buying drinks and things like that Yeah No, it definitely affects the tour season for sure. And then not for nothing, everybody is on tour now. I've never seen so many people on tour at once. You know, you got from artists to comedians to everything. And then it's a lot of festivals and DJs. I mean, you know, like car shows.

It's a whole lot of like a host of events going on. And people got to figure out, OK, this ticket is 35. You know, all right, if I can do this and I won't be able to go to this show. And you know, so it is definitely a lot. Even in my own experience with me selling out shows, it takes longer to sell them out. I sell them out, but it just takes so much longer. I remember I used to sell out shows,

making one video about where I'm going to be. And that just do numbers and then be sold out before I get there. But now it sells out right before, or it still still be a couple tickets away from being sold out. Can I say can your brother say something real quick? I just want to say something to all the DJs and all the comedians who you know nobody's coming to their shows. Wasn't nobody coming to your shows before these damn tabs.

Cut it out. Okay? Oh my god. Cut it out. Everybody sell out a little festival and now you coming in the comedian. No, I'm just saying some of y'all wasn't getting no sold out shows before these times.

Now I know it's a good excuse to use. Well, you know why, you right, yo. You like it, like it ain't gonna be, no, I ain't gonna be that bad. Stop it. See what's wrong with you. You know your ass ain't been selling. But yeah, period.

And I don't mean because she won, she bled for her art.

And it always felt like to me, after the Attitude Era, once a wrestler gets cut and you see real blood coming out of their mouth or real blood coming out of their head, the crowd kind of goes, hey, respect. And they kind of give you that nod, right? You go, wow, every one of these guys is bleeding for the road. Bro, that's literally like blood, sweat and tears. It's all they got is blood.

It's going to help me affect them. Wow. I'm sorry about that. I think it's parents. It's parents. It's children. I didn't know that. It's some of my patients too.

Yeah, even some of my patients too. I live in Texas so some parents even drop their kids off and leave because they're worried something may happen but they still want their children to be taken care of. We should not live in a country where people have to, you know, where people can't afford to live. I know we, listen to what I'm saying, we say afford to live. I'm talking about those people she's talking about literally life in death

right because of their health situation they can't afford to live. Yeah but you know you know it's crazy because it affects it all the way around like I know somebody who you know I was you know I always talk about when I get my physical and all my friends I tell them like yo you need to get your physical you need to get your physical he was like yo I can't and I'm like why he was like because the cost of everything is so far up He was like I can't even afford to pay my copay when I go he was like I got a you know He was like so I gotta wait a little bit. I'm like damn

I'm like well how much is the copay because he can't afford it He has to do all these odd jobs to make sure he could put food on the table And he said everything's is shot up in price. That's right And you know envy also started a little side business where he's giving people prostate exams you know what I mean and a lot of his homeboys. You can't give prostate exams? And Envy's doing it. And you're not certified?

I'm not even certified. I'm gonna get it to Shalimar. You ain't never gave me one but a lot of you. That's crazy. Yeah that's what he's been telling all those friends that can't afford physicals let me give you a little quick prostate check. So because I know what to do. yeah what's the moral of the story the moral of the story is man pray that's all I can tell you but all jokes aside like what you said I know you

weren't joking about praying but what you said every election has its consequences that's right literally the moral of the story. That's right. That's right. All of this is directly due to the actions of President Donald Trump. And this ain't even no partisan thing I'm talking about. If you are an American, you will be affected by the things that he's done. So you know, you got to give him the credit. Because when things go wrong, he gets the credit. When things go right, he won't get the credit. So right now things are going very wrong.

That's right. All right, well, when we come back, we have the latest with Lauren. Now Lauren, what we talking about? Yes, we do. So I know we talked about Shador Sanders earlier this morning, but did y'all see the video going viral of him and Shansia from the draft day?

They saying it might be a little thing. That's my grad. We gonna talk about it. All right, we'll get to that next. It's the breakfast slogan morning. Morning everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Again, I just want to salute to all the dance studios, especially all the black dance studios. A lot of times when I'm in these, you know, the dance competitions, we don't see too many black dance studios. So when I see them, I just like

to recognize them. There's one in Brooklyn, one in Union, New Jersey. I don't know the names. I wrote the names down but I forgot at home but I just wanted to salute them. They know who they are. I'm sure they're listening but they do a terrific amazing job doing what they do and bringing the actual culture on that stage. Because a lot of times when you see girls dancing on that stage, it's what they think the culture is. But when you have those black dance studios They are in those in a culture where that where it was one was called island gals island gals out in New Jersey they killed it like had maybe about 20 30 girls aging from 6 to I Would say 15 and them girls are killing it all types of dances and they do a ballet they're doing tap and they're doing hip-hop So I just want to say salute to all the dance studios out there.

Y'all put a lot of effort and time and I appreciate it. That's like a whole life. Yeah, it is. Whole lifestyle. It is, it is. Jess, you said you heard Coco Jones' album, Why Not More, this weekend, right? Absolutely, yes I did. Because I saw you say that in the group chat.

You were saying it was dope. It really was. That and Key Glock's album. Well, Key Glock's whole album did not drop yet but he got three songs that he put out and it is lit. I like all of them. No Sweat, 3AM in Tokyo and The Grinch. He dropped those three tracks. Crazy. But yeah, why not more? I listened to Coco Jones' whole project, man, and she's offering like what she's given on the album. I ain't heard it from her before.

So yeah, not saying that, you know, not discredit in her earlier music, but this is a different Coco and is more mature and sultry. And is this something that you can do your makeup to all the girls? This is like she got some some some anthems. Well, driving the blues bombs for Coco Jones, you know, you know, over the weekend, I saw people, you know, talking about how and I was saying how Def Jam didn't send the album. Just make sure you go scream her out.

You know what I mean? The people that were upset about that, upset about Def Jam not sending us the album, make sure you go support her Y Not More project. Absolutely. It was going up for her over the weekend on X. But you're not going up if you don't go support her. Yeah, you're right. All the comments and hashtags. That's right. No, but it was reviews of people who had listened to it. But you're not you're not going up if you don't go support that yeah, you're right

It was reviews of people who had listened you got to go to her album good Coco deserves that your down show to me No Yeah, it's oh you need to listen crazy. You saw you saw the weekend. I had I was in Orlando for my own chili competition. I'm in Atlanta for the Black Effect podcast festival had a lot going on this weekend. I am listening to you want to know the one song I listen to over and over this weekend. Regina Bell God is good. I listened to Regina Bell God is good for two hours on Saturday morning as I was just sitting in my hotel getting ready for the Black

Effect podcast. Most people don't know. Most people don't know we usually well I usually listen to the projects on my way to work. Got you, yeah, in the car. Because you gotta drive where, you know, there's nobody bothering us, so that's why we asked for the albums early so we could listen to it on the way to work and dive into it.

How was the host? Did Weezy do good? Weezy and Mandy did fantastic. Love Weezy, I know she ate it up up there. I love the host. Dropping the food bombs for Decisions Decisions. They did a fantastic job at the Black Effect podcast festival this past Saturday. I love the host. They did a fantastic job at the Black Effect Podcast Festival this past Saturday.

I mean, yeah. I talked to my guy, Louis V. He was providing the soundtrack. You know, it was a great, great, great event. I met somebody at the podcast festival who actually went to the Lean On Me school, y'all. Oh, the real one? Yes, he came up to me and he said, he said, when we do all that in here, if we're going to do the Joe Clark stuff, we got to stand on one leg when we sing the song, because that's what Joe Clark used to make them do. Oh, he made them do that.

Yes. Really? Yes, he literally wanted me to say that. Another school's in Jersey, right by you. I had no idea. So that was based off a real story, like a real school. Yes. Yes.

Wow. Not you don't know your own reference. I did not even know. It's just my favorite movie, the Freeman movie of all time. I didn't know that. Joe Clark is a real person, yes. All that happened. He said, if y'all gonna do it, do it justice.

Do it right. Because he used to make us stand on one leg and sing that song so that we understood Clark is a real person, yes. All that happened. He said if y'all gonna do it, do it justice. Do it right. Because he used to make us stand on one leg and sing that song so that we understood whatever we were getting in trouble for. Damn, that makes the movie even more impactful for me now. I did not know that. That's what's up. Yeah, I think it's based off of school in Patterson, Patterson, New Jersey. I believe.

And it's New Jersey. Right there. I did not know that. All right. Let's get to the latest with Lauren. Lauren be coming straight back. Tell us! Man! She gets in from somebody that knows somebody.

She gets the details. I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about everything. She'd be having the latest on this. The latest with Lauren LaRosa. Sometimes she has facts, sometimes she have details, sometimes she have a little bit of everything. Well, it's the latest. On The Breakfast Club. Talk to me. Okay y'all. So over the weekend when Shador was celebrating his draft weekend, even before he was drafted. So this was after the first round and he did not get drafted. He had already had celebrations set up, right? So they celebrate in and there's video that surfaced after this of Shinsia, who is a Jamaican artist at the celebration. She's sitting on the couch next to Shador,

they're talking. There's no physical interaction, no PDA or anything like that, but you're looking like, why is she there? It was a random, and that's a private celebration, as we know, right? So people started having a conversation about whether they were dating or not, and people felt like, for him not to get drafted that first night in front of Shansi, because how gorgeous she is and how fine she is, they's like, they're like, yo, it's gonna make him go even harder, right? Just making jokes or whatever. So that was like a big thing.

Then they started having a conversation about her age and his age because she's 28 and he's 23. So then they started debating about if she's too old to be with him and blah, blah, blah. So I reached out to a source close to Shansia because I wanted to know, number one, are they even dating before we get into this conversation of age or whatever. I am told that they are not dating. What I'm told is that he had a bunch of different girls come in for the celebration weekend, you know, just to kind of not, I wouldn't even say promo, but just to be a part of like

the vibes and stuff of the weekend. Shansia's role actually, she was a lead girl that first night if he would have been drafted, she was supposed to hand him that hat off of the shelves of hats that he had for the school that selected. I mean the team that selected him. He didn't get drafted. She ended up staying for the weekend because she had already planned to be there for the weekend because it was supposed to be a whole celebration for the remainder of the weekend. They met that day, that draft day, first day was the first time the day I'd ever met.

Now whether sparks and flu or not, when she, you know what I mean, met him in person, I have no idea, but that I know of at that time they were not dating. That was the first time we even I ever met. Now whether sparks and flew or not when she you know I mean met him in person I have no idea but that I know of at that time they were not dating that was the first time we meet each other. She was just sitting on the couch in the celebration. So boom there's that Jess I'm sorry. Yeah whatever because you always build me up to break me down that that would have been nice I love I love Gencia. I do too. I think she's gorgeous. Whoever hands her is a lucky guy. Whoever gets that chance. Lucky guy.

This is the immortal Outkast. Drop on the clues bombs for Andre 3000 and Big Boy. Come on man. The greatest hip hop group of all time. You know, it's debatable to me between OutKast and Wu-Tang, but most people definitely have OutKast, you know, number one on their list. Very well deserving. Like they should be in every, there's not a musical hall of fame that OutKast shouldn't be in every there's not a musical Hall of Fame that outcast shouldn't be And I'll count not the only ones no, there's a full list so you also have a sound garden I love them the great Salt and pepper salt and pepper is by far the greatest Way knew he was talking about the group, right?

Now over the weekend he did something that was absolutely hilarious. Okay stupid, which is why he's getting donkeyer today, but hilarious nonetheless. See, we all watched Shador Sanders slide into 2025 NFL draft. He was eventually drafted by the Cleveland Browns in the fifth round, dropping a clues bomb for Shador Sanders. Sidebar I loved the wayadour handled the whole situation.

All he kept doing the whole time, he wasn't getting drafted, was give all glory to God. He kept saying this is God's plan and he accepted whatever was happening in his life at that moment. I loved that drop on the clues bounce of Shadour once again. But Jax took it upon himself to pretend to be an NFL general manager and prank call Shadour Sanders doing this whole thing. Let's listen. But Jax took it upon himself to pretend to be an NFL general manager. And prank calls you do a sandwich doing this whole thing. Let's listen. This is Mickey Blumis here, the GM of the New Orleans Saints.

How you doing? Good, how are you man? Good, been waiting on you. Yeah, we have. It's been a long wait man. We're going to take you with our next pick right here man. Listen, let's be legendary. Yeah, but you're going to have to wait for us.

Yeah, we're going to be waiting for you. We're going to be waiting for you. We're going to be waiting for you. We're going to be waiting for you. We're going to be waiting for you. We're going to be waiting for you. We're going to be waiting for you. We're going to be waiting for you. We're going to be waiting for you. We're going to be waiting for you. We're going to be waiting on you. Yeah, we have. It's been a long wait, man. We're going to take you with our next pick right here, man.

Yes, sir. Let's be legendary. Yeah, but you're going to have to wait a little bit longer, man. OK. Sorry about that. OK. OK. OK.

OK. OK. OK. OK. OK. OK. Oh my god. He followed me.

Oh my god. Put it with me. How you going to ask this to one of me, and you was on phone? You heard that? You said you were going to have to wait a little bit longer. First of all, hilarious. Okay, very very well played. You got to give it to him What a way to meet the moment with a joke if I had access to Shadoah's personal number or whatever number He was using on draft day. My mind might have went to doing something like that too at that age

Jack Olberich is 21 But the reason I'm giving Jacks the credit he deserves for being stupid is because of who his father is. His father is Jeff Olbrich defensive coordinator for the Atlanta Falcons. Right now as I speak the NFL is reviewing Jeff's role in the Shador Sanders prank call. The Falcons said they won't be taking any action against Jeff but the NFL said they have been in contact with the Falcons and they are reviewing the matter and this is the issue see Jax you didn't take into consideration how this could impact your daddy because of who he is and that is something we all need to remember when

we do things who around me will this impact who around me was this effect okay Jax if he was just some 21 year old kid who prank called Shaddur I'd be like whatever, but your daddy is in the NFL. Okay, he's defensive coordinator for the Falcons. Now we know where you got the number from. Okay, I'm not saying daddy gave it to you, but you clearly have been privy to some inside information and that's exactly what happened. Jax unintentionally came across the draft contact phone number which he found in an open iPad while visiting his parents' home. Now you done made things hot for your daddy

for no damn reason. You know how the internet works, okay? Or maybe you don't, so let me explain. Jax, you're white, okay, Caucasian. There is a narrative, and the narrative is people already think that white people, owners, executives, coaches in the NFL, are colluding against Shador to

humble him and his father Deion Sanders because they don't like confident, secure black men. That's the narrative. So when the son of a defensive coordinator in the NFL pranks Shador like that and you hear Shador say nobody has this number, it puts fire on the flames of all the conspiracy theorists because you like, oh oh they really playing with Shadoor The son of an NFL defensive coordinator prank called Shadoor Everybody with a tin foil pool shitey mask who thought this was a conspiracy You can't tell them nothing after this you confirmed their

Suspicions Jax and you made it hot for your daddy for no damn reason now Jacks did apologize on Instagram Let's go to NBC 11 alive news for the report, please I'm sure you saw the shocking video of a weekend of Chaudhry Sanders being prank call the callers posing as the Saints general manager Leading sure to believe that he was being drafted by the Saints Well turns out one of the kids involved is the son of Falcons defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrick The Falcons confirming today that Jax Ulbrick came across the contact information on his father's unlocked iPad.

Jeff Ulbrick did not know about any of this until the prank call came to light. The Falcons have apologized to Choudhurer and his family. The Falcons went on to say, we have also been in contact with the NFL and will continue to cooperate fully with any inquiries we may receive from the NFL League office. We were thoroughly reviewing all protocols and updating if necessary to help prevent an incident like this from happening again. Now, Jack's actually released an apology on

instagram this afternoon. He says he called Chedure on sunday to apologize. Jack's also says what he did was completely inexcusable, embarrassing and shameful. He says he's sorry he took away from Chidor's moment and that it was selfish and childish. Yes, make sure you apologize to your daddy too for embarrassing his last name. And let the record show they did prank call a couple of other players but nobody cared about them because Chidor was the main attraction for the whole draft. Alright, the NFL needs to send the Sanders family an edible arrangement or

something because I can't remember the last time folks talked about the NFL draft this much especially after the first round but the moral of the story is this you have to understand how your actions affect others. We always think about how someone is impacted personally but when you do things think about how it will impact others especially those you claim to love Please give Jack's all bridge the biggest he off Matter of fact let uh, let Chelsea Handler give Jack's all bridge the biggest he ha ha ha that is way too much Dan Maynay's Mm-hmm. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey a day.

Yes indeed. Now when we come back we have the CEO, founder and host of The Young Turks, Cenk Yuger. He'll be joining us when we come back. So don't go anywhere, it's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning everybody, it's DJ NV Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the Guy, we are The Breakfast Club, Lala Rosa is here as well. Hey everybody, it's DJ NVJ hilarious Charlamagne the guy. We are the breakfast club.

Laura Rosa is here as well. We got a special guest in the building, the CEO and founder and host of Young Turks, Cenk Uygur. How you feeling? I'm good. I'm good, brother. How you doing? Let's black and highly favorite man.

You got this initiative that you're launching that you're trying to recruit Democrats who lean into left wing populism. You got that right. What does that look like? So that looks like some of what Trump promised, hey, I'm going to deliver for the average guy and I hate the establishment, etc. But of course he was full of crap and he didn't mean it. And so we said on The Young Tourists, his brother's all he's going to do is do tax cuts

for the rich, right? So that's what he did. And that's what he wants, five and a half trillion dollars in tax cuts for corporations, etc. So what we're saying is, how about we actually deliver for the average guy higher wages lower drug prices Paid family leave so you can get a little bit of time off when you have a kid Money out of politics and the wars and lower housing prices But in order to do that you got to take on big drug companies

You have to take on private equity that's buying our residential homes and driving up the prices And so the reason that the Democrats haven't done it in the past is because they're too wedded to the donor class. And so we're saying let's bring the Democratic Party back to what it was. So what it was was serving the average guy. So security, Medicare, Medicaid, all these, by the way, super popular programs. So let's go back to passing bills, delivering for people, and let's get the Democratic Party back and kick Trump's ass. You know, I was going to say what you're talking about is economic populism.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. But how realistic is that? Because people always say this stuff, and then even when they get into a position, there's so much you got to fight through, so many different tiers of the House and the people that don't agree. So how realistic is it? And what does that time line look like? Because when you're saying it, I'm not going to it in my time here. It's gonna be generation generations. Yeah, Lauren, I love that question. Okay, because you're right. That's exactly the question everybody should ask. Okay, because Democrats get in and then they

never do it. Right. And so I get super frustrated. First thing they took out of the bill, the COVID relief bill under Biden was $15 minimum wage. Now, if you do $15 minimum wage, you not only raise people's wages to the tune of about $92 billion, right? That goes from the richest people in the country, the people who need it the most who are working, right? But you also raise the wages above that. And then whenever you go to do that,

they go, oh no, you can't do that because that'll drive up inflation. No, inflation's already here. I need my wages to go up to keep up with it, right? So why don't we ever pass any of those things? Because the donor class. So look, if you're a Democrat, I hate to break it to you, right? So if you're a Republican, I got terrible news for you.

But if you're a Democrat, I got bad news, which is that Biden and all those guys, they never meant it. That's why they took $15 minimum wage right out of the bill. So why are we different? A, no corporate donors. No candidate is allowed to take corporate PAC money if they're with Rebellion PAC. And so so far we got Ro Khanna, the first guy who said no corporate PAC money at all. And he's awesome. And he's the one that worked with Bernie to get $15 minimum wage at Amazon.

And when they first started that they're like, Oh, you're not going to be able to pressure Amazon. You don't have any power. What are you guys gonna do? You're progressives. You're always rabble rousing. And guess what? They got $15 minimum wage at Amazon, right? So Rose been delivering throughout. Now we got Richard Ojeda running in North Carolina Nine.

That brother almost beat somebody in West Virginia when he was down 50, when that's an R plus 54. So what, but when we get in Lauren, if we don't deliver, like Sierra, I'll put the first one up on the board paid family leave. So that's 12 weeks off for moms after they have a baby. I've had to use that. Yeah.

No, I have a baby, but my mom was sick. So I had to use pay family leave. Yeah. And, but you know that 85% of Americans don't have paid family leave. I don't know what I would have did without it. Yeah. I mean, that's crazy not to have, you got to go back to work the next day or you got to burn all your vacation time, all your sick time. It's so unfair. So that poll's at 84%. What that means is

the Democrats and Republicans are full of crap. If you can't pass something that's at 84%, you're not trying. Okay? So what we're going to do if we win is we're going to try and we're going to try like hell and we're going to take out whoever is in our path, whether they're Republicans or Democrats. So if they want to come cry about it no problem we're populace we're ready to kick their ass so it's not like oh yeah like the old days I'll go we'll be so kind to our colleagues our colleagues are so precious no your colleagues aren't that precious they're the ones who killed all these bills so I demand accountability for our candidates I'll do the accountability if they throw any

of these bills under the bus then we're gonna kick him out of the group but they're not going to because they're great guys and we got another guy coming on May 1st I think everything that you're saying is great I just feel like is four years too late And what I mean by that is we're talking as if we're in normal times As if the midterms are just gonna come and we're just gonna go vote and you know Put the people in a two thousand twenty eight is just gonna come and we're just gonna go vote and you know put the people in a 2028 is just gonna come and we're just gonna go vote they're already telling us what they're planning to do they want Trump to run for a third term I just

don't think I don't think these normal ways of doing things are gonna be able to combat what is currently in the White House and I don't think we understand that yet because it's just talk yeah when they actually do the things that they say that they're doing that's when everybody's gonna realize like, oh wait, so we don't have free and fair elections no more? Yeah, so Sean, a couple of layers to that, right? So first off, we're the only ones, as far as I can see, that's actually got a plan, right?

So like, and I encourage everybody else, like if you don't like our plan, great. If you're a Democrat, come up with a different plan, right? And then plant your flag like we're doing and say, hey, you know, I'm for this or I'm for that. We're saying we're for economic policies and we're going to win back Congress. So step one in beating Trump and also taking over the Democratic Party, you got to win

these elections. If they're free and fair elections. Right. So now, Charlamagne, to the point you're making, so why were you and I opposed to Trump? We were opposed to him because we were worried that he was going to do authoritarian crap like this. That's right. Why did you and I worry to Trump? We were opposed to him because we were worried that he was going to do authoritarian crap like this. Why did you and I worry about Joe Biden? Not because we hate Joe Biden, but because we were worried he was going to lose to Trump.

That's right. And unfortunately, we were right about all of that. So, okay, now what's the next step? So I've gone on every kind of show. So I'm here on Breakfast Slow, but I've gone on Patrick, but David and Tim Poole and David Pakman and Brian Tyler Cohen. So every left, right, everything in between, right? Breaking points, et cetera, right? So what I see from the right in that is some of them are hardcore MAGA guys. And if Trump says, end the constitution,

they'll light it on fire. But half of them are just bros. And they're like, wait, why are we burning the constitution? I thought we were in favor of the constitution. So you're beginning to see that. When I first said that, people are like, oh, get out of here. There's no way.

Every Trump voter is racist, fascist, et cetera. But then all of a sudden, Trump burns up the stock market and Dave Portnoy, who supported Trump, is out there going, what the hell? I just lost $20 million. I don't like this. I don't like this. And I don't blame him. I don't have the $20 million to to lose but I know I'd be mad

okay so that's financial you go to Rogan and Rogan's like wait wait wait what are we getting ready to do process for? Why are we locking people up without even bringing them to a court? What part of that is America? And it isn't America right? You got Candace Owens talking about uh taking away freedom of speech? Yeah so and and, you're seeing on behalf of Israel, they're snatching up people off the streets.

Wrestling fans all over the globe. It's Freddie Prinze Jr. And on Wrestling with Freddie, we're breaking down every damn moment from WrestleMania 41. Two nights, nonstop chaos, legends, surprises, emotions, and some of the best wrestling we've seen coming from WWE.

We've got takes, we've got questions, and we have a whole lot of love for what these men and women pulled off at Mania. Tiffany Stratton, she earned her stripes at WrestleMania. And I don't mean because she won, she bled for her art. And it always felt like to me after the Attitude Era, once a wrestler gets cut and you see real blood coming out of their mouth, And it always felt like to me after the Attitude Era, once a wrestler gets cut and you see real blood coming out of their mouth or real blood coming out of their head, the crowd kind of goes,

hey, respect. And they kind of give you that nod, right? You go, wow, every one of these guys is bleeding for the art. Bro, that's literally like blood, sweat and tears. It's all they got is blood. We're talking Cody. We're talking Rhea, Roman, Seth, Tiffany. The future of the business is bright.

And if you watched Mania and you're still buzzing or if you missed it and want to know what went down, we got you. Listen to this episode of Wrestling with Freddie on the I Heart Radio app, Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts I'm gonna deport you. I mean that's canceling your life, right? And so they cancel their diplomas etc So I see all that but my point to you Charlamagne is that you'd be surprised at how many other people see that So so he came in at around 50% which is as high as he's ever been boom last pullout. He's down to 40

Opposes 59 percent. He's already in a 19-point hole as he's ever been. Boom, last poll out, he's down to 40, opposed is 59%. He's already in a 19 point hole and he's going south. So if he goes to cancel elections, for example, I wouldn't put anything past him, right? But at that point, it's not just gonna be us on the left and it's not just gonna be minorities. It's gonna be people like Rogan and others who go, no, no, no, no, we signed up for lower prices,

we signed up for closing the border, we signed up for lower prices, we signed up for closing the border, we signed up for some of the things you or I might agree with or disagree with, but we didn't sign up for this. But then what happens when he starts locking up the media? Yeah, so look, here's your bellwether, okay? He locks me up, we're in a lot of trouble. But here I am on the front lines, I oppose him 100% I'm doing a democratic movement to make sure he loses in Congress I'm Muslim. I'm a huge critic of Israel and I'm a naturalized citizen. Okay, so if anyone's on the front line I'm at the very very front of that line and I'm saying come get me so I'm okay with it. Don't say that don't give him a reason No, my point is though guys if we all panic we're not gonna get anything done I grew that

Okay, so let's all stay calm. Let's do a plan I here I am with a plan to actually take power away from him in 2026 if you got a better plan, I'm all ears, but what I can't have is no plan All right, we got more with Jake you go when we come back don't move is the Breakfast Club. Good morning Morning, everybody is DJ envy Jess hilarious. Charlamagne the guy we are the Breakfast Club long La Rosa is here as well We're still kicking it with Jake you go Lauren So if all goes well and everybody that you want and gets in yard But start moving and doing all these things there's going to be times We all gonna have to disappoint people because everything can't happen the way they need to

How do they handle that because I think that's another thing that happens with Democrats. They make it seem like they're never going to disappoint and then they do and then they don't know how to come back from it. You said that right now Trump, his message and everything was good, but he is doing horrible when it comes to the tariffs. He's blowing it is what you said. He is sticking to his ground on like, this is what we need to do. We might lose some people in the midst of it, but it will make for better according

to him later. Y'all might have to do that too. Then what happens? Because people will say you guys are blowing it at that point. Yeah. So first off, Trump isn't really listening to what he said. He said global tariffs for everyone, like we're at ridiculous comical levels and we're like, what the, I don't mind tariffs.

Like you could protect certain industries with tariffs, right? And rebuild manufacturing. So it's not crazy to do some tariffs, right? But when he announced, oh, I'm going to do like these unbelievable, never heard of before tariffs all across the world. We're all like, what are you doing? That's crazy. Right? So then he took that back and then he had the hundred and forty five percent tariffs on China. And we're like, you know what iPhones are going to cost if you do that? Then he took that back. So now he's down to still stupid tariffs on China because they're so gigantic

That they're not productive right now. You now flip it back on us, right? So what happens number one if we do something wrong just like Rokana, he's like hey listen We we do we fight for what's right if it turns out we weren't right then you bring it back So there's no shame in saying hey, we tried our best We tried this and you guys said you didn't love it So then we're going to next so why do we pick like those six bills right anti-war money out of politics, etc? Because those are super popular. They're all above two-thirds So if our guys getting into Congress in 2026, what we're gonna say is not just Republicans, but Democrats, too

Why are you all preventing a bill that's at 84%? Why are you all such radicals that you're in the 16%? So because mainstream media will say, oh paid family leave that is a radical progressive idea. Oh no nobody can pass out the filibuster, the parliamentarian, right? Yeah I'm like no no no no no. 16% is radical. 84% is not radical. This whole wants a 74% of Republicans want it over 90% of Democrats wanted over 80% of the independents wanted now If we can't pass something we're at an impasse why because the corporate donors are gonna come in They're gonna buy the mansions and cinemas. Even if they're out, there's gonna be new mansions of cinemas, etc What are we gonna do? We're gonna start calling people out. So that's what you've never seen

What are we gonna do? We're gonna start calling people out. So that's what you've never seen in politics. That's right. Especially on the Democratic side. No, no. Trump did it. Yeah, that's right. Trump would do it.

And that's kind of what I mean by not like he's doing what he said he was gonna do because he does what he wants. I just mean that like, if he says he wants something and it doesn't go his way, he calls people out, he does. He sends a flare scare attack. Nicknames, everything.

And he don't care who he lose in the midst of it. That's what I meant by that. Oh, you are hot. And Democrats don't do that at all. Like they play this like PR You can't scare you can't ruffle a feather. God is good. Everything is love. That's how we handle issues Yeah, I had to get the VP to call out cinema. I tried to get her to call out mansion I tried to get all the Democrats to do it. They just would not do it for whatever reason

So I I know the reason and Lauren that's such again a great question, right? Because if we don't call people out you can't get it done So it's like Trump is terrible on policy, but on strategy I get it, right? So like the Democrats say oh, you can't just intimidate people into voting your way. What do you mean? I just saw Trump do it. Mm-hmm. I just saw Trump do it like 12 times That's right. I've seen Trump do it now time and time again. What do you mean? You can't do it No, it's not that you can't do it So you don't want to do it, right?

And Lauren, they take that like, God is good, all that attitude as a cover story. Oh, we're so nice. We're so nice that we can't call out our colleagues. That would be mean. But in reality, they're both taking the same donor money. Mainstream media never calls them out and Democrats never called them out.

We're calling them out. We're calling them out. You hear me saying it about cinema mansion? You hear me and Charlamagne talking about Hakeem Jeffries. Chuck Schumer talking about billionaire buddies. He's like doing talking points like, oh, Republicans and their billionaire buddies. Hey, brother, come on, come on. Man, how many billionaire buddies do you have? Right? So if you don't call him out, you're never going to get anything done. That's the one thing Trump is right about So let's get our guy in but that unlike Trump isn't just for himself But for once for once actually looks out for all of us. I love this idea. I love what you're doing

I love what David Hodges doing. I think it's fantastic, you know Yeah, I just tell them how to support. All right. So first of all rebellion pack.com since we're not taking corporate money We need a lot of grassroots donors last time for just Democrats young Turks audience raised two and a half million dollars Wow, this time let's double it, right? Let's get these guys some real juice and we're gonna get them on all the shows and all the podcasts get their voice out that They're not afraid. They're not afraid. They love their message. They want to tell their message Okay, so rebellion.com but also volunteer. And also if you can, if you want to, and I already

announced it yesterday, already a whole bunch of people going through the candidate process. So that's how we find folks. But we can't run everybody. You know, you got to be judicious and you got to find the best people. So I don't want to give people false hope. You got to come correct and you got to be great. But if you're doing that and you're an honest person, RebellionPact.com, we're going to at least consider you as the Democratic Party would. Then the other way is just keep up with young Turks. Like we're on YouTube six o'clock every night, six, eight o'clock, me and Anna, right? And so we're going to give news about all the updates and stuff. And then we're going to,

I'm sure, have amazing people join our advisory board to help us win, like maybe Charlemagne. Nah, I would do that, yeah, that makes sense. Okay, yeah, let's talk about it. I would love that, right? Absolutely. And we got some other folks that are interested in joining the advisory board that I think would be amazing.

Let's get a wide variety, right? Everywhere, everyone, Charlemagne, from you, to like, I want Harvard law professor Larry less again He's a godfather of money in politics get money out of politics. And so let's get smart Passionate people to actually overcome the system that we have here And so look if you give up they win if you stay on your couch they win But if you get up and try, look, protests, I love it. It needs a step two, and this is step two, right?

Step two is we actually go win and take back Congress. Step three is we go take over the Democratic Party and win the country over and actually pass the bills, right? But step one's great, get in the game somehow, right? Make some noise. Make some noise, volunteer for Rebellion Pack, go to protests, or you heard somebody's got a better idea Do that idea but get in the game because the minute you sit down and lose

Hope is the minute they win tell them where to find you may so young Turks on YouTube six to eight o'clock You could of course find it on tyt.com as well and rebellion pack calm To help this movement rebellion pack and your Instagrams and all of that. So, at Schenck Uygur and at The Own Turks, and you'll be able to find us on all the platforms. My man Schenck, thank you for joining us, brother. Thank you, Charlamagne. Appreciate it. Thank you, Lauren.

Great questions. Really appreciated it. Thanks for the combo. It's The Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy Jesselaria, Charlamagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to the latest with Lauren.

Lauren becoming a straight face. Tell her, tell her. She gets in from somebody that knows somebody. She gets the details. I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about everything. She be having the latest on this. The latest with Lauren LaRosa. Sometimes she have facts, sometimes she have details, sometimes she have a little bit of

everything. Well, it's the latest. On the Breakfast Club. Talk to me. The latest with Lauren La Rosa. Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details, sometimes you have a little bit of everything. Well, it's the latest. On The Breakfast Club. So Diddy, y'all know Charles coming up?

Yep. So his lawyers are laying out what kind of his big defense will be. So Diddy recently rejected a plea deal. And when he rejected the plea deal, they're arguing that he's a swinger, but he's not a criminal. Now, okay. What was the plea deal? Did we know what the plea deal was? I'm going to get into it. Why you let Jess laugh? You're waiting for you because you need Jess to go laugh. Jess, she's got you up on this one.

Okay, so, so Diddy rejected a plea deal that the federal prosecutors offered him and now because of this, they're positioning him as a swinger as I mentioned, right? So in court on Friday, there was a hearing that happened and it was about a different a bunch of different topics. So according to Rolling Stone, they said the prosecutor said that they did offer him a plea deal but he flatly denied it. He didn't want anything to do with it. There was no details of the plea deal that came out in V, but it is believed that Diddy was offered one and people do believe that

Rowland Stone is not lying about this. It's true. But the reason why people was like, is no, but this is true because everybody feels like if he's pushing for court, right? I was told he really wants to go to court now. He didn't want anything delayed. He's actually happy that that two month hole didn't happen. Why would he just take a plea deal get it all over with and figure out how to you know, get home Off of the pleading. He's not going on plea deal plea deal. He got plea guilty to something But I mean, but you can depend on what the people was We don't know yet, but I will i'm trying to figure that out depending on what the plea deal was though it could have been something that like

Uh young thug took a plea deal too and was able to come home. And you said it opens him up civilly. Did he open bro? Them civil cases is open. He already getting sued for hundreds of millions of dollars. You mean opens him up. But if he pleads guilty depending on what the deal is it's almost like if you plead guilty for criminal it's easier way easier for civil form. That's not true. OJ Simpson got found not guilty and still lost in the civil case. That's not true. But we're saying if he pleads guilty,

depending on what the deal is, and he says yes and pleads guilty, they can use it in the civil case. But here's the thing, OJ was found not guilty, told him two different things. That's not true because a lot of the, if you notice-

He found guilty, I mean, civilly though, is what he said. Yes, and if you notice, a lot of Ditty's civil cases are getting dismissed because they're not strong. So just because a criminal case could be way stronger than a civil case could, so no. Well, in this, whatever that plea deal was, in the conversations they were having in court on Friday, Diddy's team is arguing that he might have lived a swinger lifestyle, but

he's never done anything inappropriate or criminal. And that was coming from the head of his legal team, Mark Agnifilio. Now he said that in the world that Diddy lived in as his mogul, this entertainment mogul, being a swinger was common. So basically Diddy is being prosecuted according to his team for something that is a common lifestyle. And that's what they're going to lean into heavily when he goes to court, which may provide some issues only because, you know, there's a conversation around like people saying that they were drugged against their will, you know, forcible things that happened to them. So depending on who and we still don't know, depending on what their evidence is and who

they're going to have taken a stand, that can completely flip, especially because we know Cassie is going to be taking a stand, right? And if the Swinger lifestyle, which she did engage in at some points, but at some point it turned the other way, she can testify something completely different. Like, no, it goes beyond that. So they're taking a gamble at even putting it out there this early, but you got to kind of lay the foundations. Y'all may have answered this, you may have answered this question before, but the fact

that she settled with him, right? Like I didn't know that that was possible. You can settle with somebody, you can get paid and like you settle with them and then they can still turn around and be a witness. I didn't know that that was possible you can settle with somebody you can get paid and like you settle with them and then they can still turn around and be a witness. I didn't know that either. It's because she was subpoenaed by federal court so like you can have a settlement but if a federal court is saying criminal court don't care about the settlement. Yeah like these things happen. This is legal. Yeah she was subpoenaed so she kind of didn't really have a choice but to you know what I mean like. I didn't know that work like that but But okay, and then when you want to subpoena she has to tell the truth And if she doesn't she could get in trouble. Yeah. Yeah. Um, yeah, so Yeah, they talked about a bunch of different stuff. Um

But that's gonna be his defense. So we'll see how that works out for him. Mm-hmm now in other news, um, Ryan Coogler So Ryan Coogler, Sinners is still, you know what I mean? Sinning. Sinning. The numbers are still going crazy. Made a crazy amount of money. So it earns $45 million in its second weekend of the release with ticket sales only falling six percent from the first weekend. It's a $48 million opening which happened that first

weekend. So it's still making dollar opening which happened that first weekend. So it's still making numbers. But Ryan Coogler has been doing interviews in a bunch of different ways. Like talking about the creative and the photo and the film and how it was shot. We talked about that in here. But he sat down with a platform and had a conversation about a ton of different things. But they brought up his deal and you could tell he was kind of like over the conversation. Let's take a listen. I'm not the first filmmaker to get any of these deals. You know, and Warner Brothers is not the first studio

to provide these deals to a filmmaker. You know, so like I think that a lot has been made of my deal in particular. I'm not totally sure why. You know, like I have my guesses, you know, like, I have my guesses, you know, but I've been in the industry long enough to know what kind of deals are possible and nothing about this deal is a new thing. Why does he sound like he's defending it though? Ryan, he's not.

Let me tell you what Ryan is doing. Ryan is throwing an alley-oop. You know why people are making a big deal about this Ryan, cause you're black, okay? And you're black black. You're a black man from Oakland who does not code switch in no way, shape or form. You enter the room's black, you talk black, you move black, that's why they're making a big deal of it,

cause they can't believe a nigga got that kind of deal. Was the interviewer asking like in a negative way or? The interviewer, she wasn't asking in a negative way. He was sitting down with Democracy Now, but she did spend a lot of time breaking down like this is what they did and this is why it's monumental. And he's like, he basically was on some, yeah she was white. He's basically on some type of time like, okay, but like that's what happens. This is business and I basically, I handle my business.

So what are we talking about? And you trying to figure it out. Figure it out. She's trying to figure out how it happened? She's just, they're making it seem like it's like, I mean it is monumentous and it's amazing to see but they're making it seem like he changed the trajectory of like how studios are going to receive money and basically taking money out of their pockets and like he's changing something when he's like, I didn't make this up. they can't believe they gave a black man that kind of deal You mean in 25 years ownership of this movie is gonna go back to this black man

You you mean to tell me that this black man has first gross rights and this movie has made 161 million dollars worldwide so they in the day in the black now Two weeks million dollars worldwide so they in the they in the black now and it's only been out for two weeks that's right uh the budget was 90 million for the film and the initial projections when people were hating they thought it was only going to make 35 dollars so 90 90 million for the production budget you probably put another 30 40 in marketing and promotions and they're at 160 they they way out of the red that's right at this point just want a hundred black big black on black black Why you was mad at my you meant this?

No, I never heard that word before Monumental but I've never heard Monumentous. Yeah, you can is oh you and set the end great importance of remedial classes, yeah Just what? And by the way Lauren don't be in here acting like you don't teach those words in remedial classes. Yeah. Jess? What? You sure you like this? Yes, I do. Yes, I do. And by the way, Lauren, don't be in here acting like you

don't be making up words. I do be making up words, but that word is so regular. No, baby. You made up Jack Wyatt. No, I ain't never heard that word. Jack Wyatt is my type. That is Jack Wyatt. I have no idea what she's doing.

No, what else word did I make up? Because I do be just saying stuff. You do. Yes, you do. But I say it with so much conviction there. Yes, we just let you go ahead. That's how they do at church, so. You do. Yes, you do. But I say it with so much conviction there. Yes, we just let you go ahead. That's how you do it at church, so. My goodness.

All right. Well, that is The Latest with Lauren. Thank you, Lauren. And the fact that Envy googled it, you didn't know it was a goddamn word either. Right. Yeah, I was like, why she didn't say monumental? You didn't know monumental was a word?

No? She said it was so much poised up, I knew it was real. Because if Lauren don't know a word, she will be like, I don't know it. I thought you were going to be like, it's a monumental deal. She was like Monumentous. Hold on, hold on, hold on. Monumentous, I just looked it up. Monumentous is not a recognized word in standard English dictionaries despite its use online. It's often used as a combination of monumental and momentous both of which are valid words with

similar meanings. So it's not actually a word. My definition says, although not in all dictionaries, it is a word that, yes, it uses the meaning of monumental. I learned the dang word in school, y'all love. Y'all don't think it's a word. It ain't a real word. It's not.

It says right here. It's not no damn real word. She did learn it in Delaware. That ain't no real word. I'm gonna send this to the group chat. It literally says, apparently, monumentous isn't a real word. Microsoft Word doesn't recognize it, I'm gonna send this to the group chat and literally says apparently Monumentous isn't a real word Microsoft word doesn't recognize it and dictionaries are saying it's a made-up word combining monumental and monument and momentous Yes, that's not a word. You just made that up. That's Delaware Delaware education ladies gentlemen

Someone if you can make up a word and not get in trouble for like like I'm people's choice wake up wake up you're locked into the breakfast club warning everybody is DJ and the just hilarious Charlamagne the guy we are theilarious, Charlamagne the Guy.

Lauren was sitting in the crowd and I didn't even see Lauren until I was on stage. And I was like, why the hell is Lauren sitting in the crowd? And she was surrounded by studs. So I thought she was being held hostage. I'm seeing it. One of them studs had a strap on to her waist. They had it to her hips. Like, don't move. I'm telling you it was crazy.

Relax. No, don't do that. She was overwhelmed by the studs. Yeah, she was surrounded by studs. I was like, what's going on? She She was overwhelmed by the studs. Yeah she was surrounded by studs.

And they be like oh no get the hell off. That's how you get away from a stud telling you your ass is trash. Oh oh oh. And I want to give a special shout out to the event, Sounds of Spotlight. I went to an event this weekend on Saturday hosted by my daughter's godfather Menelik. He is my Ethiopian brother and he does these events every now and then. And I'm wearing merch from the event and it was like a tribute to Lauryn Hill. It was like a diary of Lauryn Hill.

We went from her life behind the music to everything from when she started to where she is now. It was just like a deep, deep, deep experience. I loved it. It was very intimate, but he has these events and it allows you to be vulnerable and you know kind of like a like fire tribe type thing, you know, he had non alcoholic beverages there complimentary wine and it's just dope. It gives people who necessarily don't feel you know, feel heard. It gives them a voice and you know, allow them to share their experiences as it relates

to Lauryn Hill's life and what she was going through behind the camera and everything like that. And it also took me a lot. I did not know that Lauryn Hill was, you know what I'm saying? She was dealing with Wyclef, right? And then like, I didn't know that he had got married while he was dealing with each other. Crazy! This is one of the reasons I love Jess. Y'all think Jess be on the internet all day,
