So the countdown is on, y'all. Election Day is eight days away. Tuesday, November 5th. And top of the front page news is make sure you exercise your right to vote. Now, Vice President Kamala Harris, she rallied in Texas and the battleground state of Michigan over the weekend before she took the stage in Texas. Harris spoke about the fight over abortion rights. And here's what she had to say to reporters. This is among the most critical issues that the American people will address when they vote for who will be the next president of the United States. Real harm has occurred in our country. A real suffering has occurred. People have died. There are just certain decisions the government should not be making for individuals and their families.

Of course, she spoke about abortion bans and passed in places like Texas, which have led women to miscarry in parking lots. Same as that in Georgia and also Florida. Go ahead, Charlene. No, I said I saw Trump this weekend say abortion isn't a major issue anymore. And I'm like, who? The who? Who are you talking to? They said a lot of stupid stuff over the weekend. Yeah, we'll get into that and all the garbage, quote unquote.

But getting back to that rally in Houston, of course, Beyonce, she took the stage endorsing Harris, not as a celebrity, not as a politician, but as a mother. Beyonce, of course, joined Harris in Houston for a campaign event. She introduced Harris to a massive crowd on Friday night. She called on women of America and Texans alike. And of course, her fans to step up and vote, saying freedom is on the ballot this year. And it's time for a new song. Let's hear those comments from Beyonce at the rally in Houston. We must vote. And we need you.

It's time to sing a new song. A song that began 248 years ago. The old notes of downfall, discord, despair, no longer resonate. Our generations of loved ones before us are whispering a prophecy a quest a calling an anthem our moment right now it's time for america to sing a new song our voices sing a chorus of unity they sing a song of dignity and opportunity

are y'all ready to add your voice to the new american song i thought beyonce and kelly did very well yeah i was gonna say yeah and then kelly's speech was incredible kelly introduced beyonce um in during that rally and yes kelly's speech as well was very compelling uh very energized of course vp harris is using beyonce's hit freedom as a theme song for her her campaign um and as vp harris took the stage of course she reiterated and leaned into those uh reproductive rights arguing of course again that the government should not be allowed to make decisions medical decisions for individuals um they were also in michigan over the weekend. Former First Lady Michelle Obama

appeared with VP Harris in Michigan and Kalamazoo on Saturday, saying that too many people are indifferent to Donald Trump's felonies while also criticizing Harris. Let's hear from Michelle Obama. I hope you'll forgive me if I'm a little frustrated that some of us are choosing to ignore Donald Trump's gross incompetence while asking Kamala to dazzle us at every turn. His chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, for example, said, and these are his words, that Trump is fascist to the core. His Joint Chief of Staff. If you're not famous, if you criticize or disagree with him in any way, if he doesn't view you as his equal or relevant to his ambitions, I promise you he will not think about you when he gets into the Oval Office.

Yeah, I can't even call it a double standard anymore. I've never seen anything like it. Like Trump has something greater than even white privilege. Like he was greater than white privilege. I don't know. He marginalizes white people. Like Trump has something greater than even white privilege. What's greater than white privilege? I don't know. He marginalizes white people. He marginalizes white people. It's unreal. Like nobody treats him like a threat.

Not the DOJ, not the media, not voters, nobody. I've never seen anything like it. I'm sure we'll talk about his rally next hour, right? Yes, absolutely. That was crazy. More front page at 7 a.m. Trump was in New York at Madison Square Garden talking about the Puerto Ricans. Oh, no, not the Rickins.

Not the Rickins. All right. We'll discuss that next hour. Everybody else, get it off your chest. Did he speak? Did he speak? He spoke. I haven't heard anything about him.

I've heard about everybody else. And everybody else has been trending, though. He did speak. I've heard about everybody else except for him. I haven't. Nah, he spoke. Yeah, we'll get to that next hour. Everybody else has been trending, though. He did speak up. No, he spoke. I've heard about everybody else except for him. I haven't. Nah, he spoke. Yeah, we'll get to that next hour. Everybody else, get it off your chest.

Ms. Lauren, I'm so glad you're still here. Let me tell you right quick before I talk to Charlamagne.

When I called on my birthday, December 6th, you helped me out with the fellas because they just kind of left me hanging. Do you remember that? Mm-mm. What happened? I forget. It was the anniversary of the show, and I called on my birthday, and he was like, oh, what are you doing for your birthday? And I'm telling him, and then they were just quiet.

Oh. And you were like, y'all just going to leave her hanging? She don't even know what you're talking about. I don't even remember, but it sounds like them to just, you know. Well, that's okay. Charlamagne. Yes, ma'am. So we went to Usher's concert on Friday here in St. Louis. And, yeah, the domestic chairs was, whew.

He was wildin'. Oh, man. He was feedin' the ladies cherries. And this one lady, she was makin' them. You had to open your mouth and let them put the cherry in. And this one lady, she wanted to grab your mouth and let them put the cherry in. And this one lady, she wanted to grab the cherry, and he took it back. It was like, you have to open your mouth and let me put the cherry in.

Usher need to be stopped. Build a wall around Usher, man. Oh, my gosh. It was so funny, Charlamagne. I couldn't wait to call and talk to you about this morning. Did you call somebody? Did you call the proper authorities on Usher? Oh, it was Nicole. Usher need his own ice season. We

need to put an organization on Usher. Nicole might have been a lady with a mouth open. No, no, no. I was with my husband. Usher don't care? I was about to say, because he did it with DDG and Khloe. And DDG grabbed that cherry. Yeah, he did. Thank you, Nicole.

Okay, one more question. Please, please, please. Charlamagne. Yes, ma'am. Can I please send you my sister's book? Can I have the address to the show

so I can send you her book? Yes, we're going to put you on hold and Eddie will give you the address and you can mail it up. Thank you very much. You know what's so crazy? Usher did that to Holly

and then Holly and DDG broke up a couple weeks later. So now you want to blame it on Usher? But DDG grabbed the cherry. It don't matter. You know what I mean? Because if your mouth was open and then I had to grab the cherry, then what? Now we all going to the house.

Good morning. The Breakfast Club. It's your time to get it off your chest, whether you're mad or blessed. You better have the same energy. We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this?

This is Mikey. Mikey, what's up? Get it off your chest. Hey, I've been listening to you guys for a good bit of time now. Every time I'm driving into work like I am right now. And I noticed that when you guys are talking about the difference of the rallies this morning, kind of like you do every morning, I have a different perspective of it. I think that people showed up in massive numbers to support Trump.

And I think that that shows his support even in a place like New York City where they expected him to support Trump. And I think that that shows his support, even in a place like New York City, where they expected him to get nothing. Hey, can I say something to you, brother? Go ahead. Nobody this morning talked about the size of either one of those rallies. Like, nobody in here talked about that.

Like, we played some clips from the rally, but we didn't say nothing about the size of the rally. Right. Well, I kind of just noticed how you guys said there's a massive turnout in Houston, but if we're going to compare a size thing here, it's going to be not even a comparison. Donald Trump has a way bigger turnout. And I think that's because even in a place like New York City, he has massive turnout because, you know. We're not.

But once again. He's taking that still way better. But once again, nobody compared the sizes of it. But I mean, if you want to, Kamala Harris did have 30,000 people in Houston. I mean. Yeah, I think Donald Trump had 40,000 waiting outside. That's not true. Knock it off.

Yeah, that was yesterday. In New York City, there was not no 40,000 people waiting outside the Garden, bro. We live here. That was not in the building. Yeah, but we live here. There was not no 40,000 people sitting outside the Garden, bro. We live here. That was not in the building. Yeah, but we live here. There was not no 40,000 people sitting outside the garden, bro. That was outside Madison Square Garden.

That didn't happen. That didn't happen. We live here. That didn't happen. He counted everyone. But once again... He counted everybody in here. He counted everybody, yeah.

It's easy to say it didn't happen. I know. It didn't happen. But once again, nobody was talking about their crowd sizes. So you called up here this morning on assignment to say that, but nobody had that conversation. How many people were in the garden?

Do you know, sir? The only thing that they said was that there wasn't a seat that wasn't taken. Yeah, the garden holds 19,500 people. Yeah, 19,000 people. Yeah. So, I mean, that's a massive turnout. So you're telling me that it was double that outside of the garden. Even though we live here and we know it wasn't, you're telling me that it was double that outside of the guard. Even though we live here and we know it wasn't,

you're telling me that it was 40,000 people outside of the guard. That is what was reported. Okay, well. I've been seeing the Magabots on Instagram, but I ain't never heard one on the phone. That was crazy. Yeah, I never heard the voice in real life. That was crazy.

Okay, you know how much 40,000 people is? Hello, who's this? Hello, hey, this is DJ Indy. Yes, sir. Yeah, DJ Indy. Hello, who's this? Hello. Hey, this is DJ Indy. Yes, sir. Yeah, DJ Indy. Hey, Chalamet. How you doing this morning? Peace.

How you doing, brother? And Miss Lauren, a pleasure to listen to you. Good morning. How are you? I'm doing well. Hey, I just want to tell your listeners, don't sign the PAC petition. It's a data heist. What is the PAC petition. It's a data heist. What is the PAC petition?

A data heist is the PAC petition that Elon Musk has going on right now. Who? It's Elon Musk. Oh, to get the million dollars? Correct. It's a data heist. And what it is,

is that a data heist is if you need like five pieces of information, but you can only get four of those legally, but you could pay for the fifth piece. And that fifth piece would allow you to get information like data history or voting history. Yeah, don't give up your data sign in a pack. Give up your data, you know, signing on to a new social media site. That's how you get everybody. That's the same thing. You got to vote.

Hello, who's this? Good morning. Good morning. You hear me? Yeah, we hear you. What's up, brother? What's your name? Hey, my name's T.

What's up, T? I'm just calling. I just wanted to encourage people to get out there and vote. I think it's really important this time around. It's been important any other time, but this time just feels a lot different. I just want to encourage you all to get out there and vote for Kamala, honestly, because it's stuff that she's offering that we really need. That child tax credit that we were getting in 2021 with Joe Biden,

the extension of that, the $50,000 tax deduction. It's my whole business. These things, I'm poor. These things, we out here struggling right now. So I just want people to take it seriously and stop playing around and making everything, I don't know, they just trivialize everything right now. I just don't appreciate that. And this is a black man saying to go vote for Kamala Harris, okay?

Thank you, Keith. You see that? So stop it with all those false narratives. I was actually looking at a poll yesterday. They said Kamala, her support amongst black men is 85% right now. Oh, wow. Which we knew was going to be the case, you know. But, you know, people running around with all these false narratives saying that black men don't want to vote for the vice president,

which is just ridiculous. Where did that start? Like, why did that start? I have no idea. Well, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. We got Just With The Mess with Lawn LaRosa coming up. We do, and of course, before we start our show, we have to take a minute for DJ Clark Kent, so we're going to do that at the

top of the news, at the top of the first hour, Just With The Mess. Alright, we'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ and the Jess Hilarious. Charlamagne Tha God.

We are The Breakfast Club. I want to drop one of Clues Bond's for South Carolina State University. They had their homecoming over the weekend. They won their homecoming game 69 to 35. They played some team called Delaware State University or something like that. Did you go to homecoming? Yeah weekend. They won their homecoming game 69-35. They played some team called Delaware State University

or something like that. Did you go to homecoming? Yeah, but we... Did you go to the game? 69-35. Those honorary degrees, I mean, they get to your head, but have you been to the homecoming? What that got to do with South Carolina State?

Why are you so upset about this? I'm not upset. I'm just asking. South Carolina State University beat Delaware State 69-35. You hit the yard? No. Okay. I don't go nowhere. But 69-35. That's the yard? No. Okay. I don't go nowhere.

But 69-35. That's how you can tell you ain't go there. 69-35. Since we shouting out schools, shout out to Hampton University. They won 41-21 for their homecoming. Damn, who they play? Elon? I don't even know what team Elon is.

Since we shouting out schools, shout out to Delaware State University just because. Yeah, they lost to South Carolina State University this weekend, 69-35. Okay. I mean, all right.

All right, well, let's get to Jess with the mess. Yo, you're a hater. You need to just real

I'm back. And I got the mess. Talk to me. Man, so over the weekend, we lost DJ Clark Kent. So it was announced via uh his instagram uh it said uh it was with deep deep sadness that we share the passing of our of the beloved uh dj clark kent uh he passed away thursday evening surrounded by his devoted wife his daughters and his son clark quietly and uh vivian clark quietly fought a three-year battle with colon cancer while continuing to

share his gifts with the world the family is grateful for everyone's love support and prayers during this time they act for privacy as they process this immense loss so you know i just wanted to take some time as we opened up the news this morning to just talk about the impact of dj clark clark can't i know a lot of people um they hear the name but i don't know if everybody and all the time people understand what he is synonymous with like he has created some of the biggest careers that we know in the game from Biggie to Jay-Z Mariah Carey 50 Cent um when you talk about Jay-Z Jay-Z has said reasonable doubt wouldn't even have happened if it wasn't for the influence of Clark Kent uh players anthem throwing Lil Kim on the record and coaching her through that

and people you know, just that being known as like one of the first times people heard her on a record. So I just wanted to take that time. We do have some songs here in a mix for them. And y'all want to share some thoughts, anything like that? I know you guys are so close to the,

uh, you know, you're here in New York. Yeah. I will say, you know, legendary career professionally, but I would just say,

you know, as, as an individual, whenever you met Clark Kent, just a solid human, you know as an individual whenever you met clark kent just a solid human you know i'm saying just a genuinely good person like just a pleasant individual in all my encounters with dj clark kent you know uh like just just a good brother a very a person that would would call you and tell you if he saw you doing something good if he didn't like something you was doing he'd call you and tell you that as well but he but it would always end with some type of solution

to whatever it was so i just i just thought he was just a good a good person yeah great great individual not just a dj and not pushing djs forward like charlamagne said he would call you if if he agreed with something you said or disagreed and it always ended in love are you actually always down for a healthy debate yes he. Always down for a healthy debate. Yes. He was always down for a healthy debate. Yes. I actually seen him last year at a Giants game. A huge Giants fan. And he was telling me what he was going through.

And he was just saying, just do me a favor. Just tell your listeners to make sure they go to the doctor. And make sure they get checked. And make sure they do the necessary things to make sure they can live as long as they possibly can. But he was just a great individual. An amazing DJ. An amazing amazing producer a sneakerhead and probably one of the biggest sneakerheads out there between him and probably may I mean he had every pair of sneakers that you could possibly imagine and just like

Charlamagne said just a good the great person man yeah well Angie Martinez spoke out and she said you know the world was just better with him in it so she's you know echoing you guys sentiments as well and if you guys remember we talked about this uh briefly up here that angie martinez is going to be making her directorial debut doing a doc about hip-hop featuring dj clark kent and his story and in her post where she was saying goodbye to him she said you were not like everyone your cloth was just richer your pedigree your pedigree was more solid. The love you put into everything

and everyone you touched just hit harder. And I promise you and Keish, that's his wife, that I will not sleep until we share your story. So she is definitely still down. This doc is still going to move forward.

What I love about it is that God's Favorite DJ, the story of DJ Clark Kent. What I love about it is that he was here to tell his story

heck yeah it's cool black guy with a thing on his head what the hell is that a lampshade look at this guy oh my goodness I'm just kidding that's one of my buddies he had a Halloween party last night we had fun we carved watermelons together it was awesome it's wild and these latinos they love making babies too just know that they do they do there's no pulling out they don't do that they come inside just like they did to our country it is absolutely wild times there's a lot going on like i don't know if you guys know this but there's literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now yeah i think it's called puerto rico here's what i don't understand right what's that what

equals rise up no i'm just kidding what's that what's the point of that like why like if i'm donald trump and you know people already label me racist and sexist and fascist and people are saying hey he's holding a rally at the garden the way the Nazis did in the 30s. How about telling everyone on the bill to not do anything racist? Because he's been able to do everything that he's wanted to do for a very long time. And nothing has happened. That didn't make sense. Even now, people are upset about this. And, like, you know, there's been a lot of support from different people like Bad Bunny, J-Lo, whatever, following these comments.

But there's a whole other side that is just, like, laughing and moving on. But that's why I don't understand. Politically, why? Who in his team is saying this is a politically smart thing to do? And did those jokes have to be clear? You had to clear what he was saying beforehand? I would assume, right? If you're going to speak at my rally, somebody had some type of clearance. They already started trying to distance themselves from the comments, too.

But that's my point. The campaign put out a statement saying, distance themselves from themselves who killed tony comments but why even have those comments to y'all knew what he was there for y'all knew what y'all signed up for it didn't go over well so now y'all distancing yourselves and all that but like donald trump is entertaining on podcasts but he don't seem too good at politics because just just politically that was just stupid horrible of course this you know comes as Trump has been criticized following his responses to Hurricanes Irma and Maria when those hurricanes impacted

Puerto Rico back in 2017. Y'all remember when he was throwing those paper towels? Paper towels like they were basketballs out to people and stuff like that. And as you mentioned, Lauren, Puerto Rican stars Bad Bunny, Ricky Martin, Louis Fonsi, and Jennifer Lopez have now backed Democratic presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris as a result of these comments.

I'm not sure if it's really as a result of these comments, but it certainly prompted them to step up and become more public with their choice. You mentioned Trump podcasting, Charlamagne. So he did sit down with Joe Rogan over the weekend or he did sit. That episode was actually released over the weekend. And he asked us to provide examples of how the election was stolen in 2020, because he is still claiming that the 2020 election was stolen. And here's what he had to say in regards to the election being stolen while sitting down with Joe Rogan. They were supposed to get legislative approval to do the things they did, and they didn't get it.

In many cases, they didn't get it. If you take a look at Wisconsin, they virtually admitted that the election was rigged, robbed, and stolen. I lost by, like, I didn't lose, but they say I lost, Joe, they say I lost by 22, I didn't lose, but they say I lost, Joe, they say I lost by 22,000 votes. That's like one-tenth of one percent less than that.

It's a tiny little thing. Rogan kept asking him over and over, well, how exactly did they steal it? He couldn't tell. He couldn't tell. Meanwhile, Vice Presidential nominee J.D. Vance, he's pushing back against comments made by White House Chief of Staff John Kelly last week, saying that Trump meets the definition of a fascist. Vance told CNN State of the Union Trump didn't say or do the things Kelly accuses him of. Let's hear those comments from J.D. Vance on CNN State of the Union.

Pretty much all of what John Kelly accuses Donald Trump of saying, there were other people in the room, Mike Pence's former chief of staff, for example, who've explicitly said Donald Trump never said those things. They'll say, well, he's a dictator when what they really mean is they won't listen. Donald Trump wouldn't listen to the leadership of the military when they wanted him to start ridiculous conflicts. They're conservative in the sense that they want America to get involved in a ton of ridiculous military conflicts. They want America to police the world and Donald Trump wasn't. Well, I can appreciate not get involved in a ton of ridiculous military conflicts. They want America to police the world and Donald Trump wasn't. Well, I can appreciate not getting involved in extra conflict. But at the same time,

if these guys have been doing it for their whole lives, if they've been doing it, they had the experience and they are advising you. Well, sir, take the advice. Anyways, let's bring things home. JD fans is also full of it, though, because, you know, he kept denying everything that they even told him about Trump saying he wanted to put the American military on on U.S. citizens. And he was denying that Trump said that they actually played him the audio. And he said, I did not hear President Trump say they played him the audio. So it's just like, whatever, man, we can only take Vance with a grain of salt is what you get. Absolutely. Just just a year ago, he was calling Trump Hitler. Is that what you're saying? Absolutely.

back, Talib Kweli will be joining us. He has a new album, The Confidence of Knowing is out right now. We're going to talk to him when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The

Breakfast Club. Jess is on maternity leave, so Lauren LaRosa's filling in. And we got our niece with us today, Nyla. Big Nyla. All right. And we got a special guest in the building. The good brother, Talib Kweli is here. What's up, King?

You say my name like my parents do. That's how you say it? Yeah. That's the right way, right? That's how my parents say it. You know, the Muslims say Talib. Talib. But I was raised as Talib.

Talib. That's how I've known you for a long time. You say it the old school way. How are you, King? I'm good. Good to see you. New album, The Confidence in Knowing. Yes, sir.

What is The Confidence in Knowing? Not just the album, but that mantra. What is that? Well, first of all, shout out to Jay Rawls, the producer, professor at the Ohio State University, producer of Brownskin Lady. He's my partner on that album. So shout out to Jay Rawls. But The Confidence in Knowing is a quote that I got actually from Jay-Z. He said it off the cuff in an interview, and I feel like he heard it somewhere, but it stayed with me for years. It's the idea that as an artist, you have to know that you're on the right path. You have to know that you're doing the right thing, even when the world tells you that you sound crazy when you say, I'm going to be an artist for a living you know i'm saying even when the world says nah that's not gonna work your chances of succeeding in that world are so small you should get a regular job and there's a lot of voices like that for artists so for art you have to have the confidence to know that even

though the world is telling you that you're crazy that you're doing the right thing you know it's interesting about that i remember when ho said you know skills sold lyrically i'll probably be talib kweli i wonder if in that moment was he truly confident that's a great question i feel like he was um in that moment he was telling us that he feels restricted you know he still had to like drop an album every fourth quarter to get the sales of rockefeller up at that time he still had to make records for the radio records for the club the business of it the business of it and then after that when he was a billionaire he no longer had to do that now he got the basquiat dreads you know i'm saying now he looks like how i look like in high school he sounds like do you ever feel restricted because

i know like you you do your own thing a lot like so have you ever felt that restriction even like with the release of this project i've seen you talk about like you you tour so much and like just some of the comments you've made about yourself i think you're in a really great space and you love the space you're in but it's a lot different artists normally like you said it yourself you would understand why someone will call you a one-hit wonder depending on where they what they listen to in hip-hop and what era they are a lot of artists will be upset about that but you are very comfortable with where you are do you feel restricted sometimes like you have to fall into the business because of whatever reason i think I'm going through that I can listen to records

I've made I like all my records and I think that I'm good at my craft but I can listen to records I made five years ago 10 years ago 15 years ago where I'm like okay I could tell the intentionality behind this song was to be in the music business that's trying to get a single on radio trying to get more ears and eyes of what I'm doing. And the less I do that, the happier I am. When did you start doing that less, though?

Do you remember that moment? Man, I think it was a gradual process. I'm not sure when I really stopped doing that, but I think around the time when I started, I did an album called The Seven with Styles P. And on that album, it was no pressure to have a hit single or have a radio single or anything. It's just like we're just going to bar everybody out. And after that, I did an album with Diamond D.

You know, did an album with Mad Lib. I try to work with people who I don't have to meet that expectation. But wasn't that the meaning behind Ruckus back in the day? Like, wasn't that label there so artists didn't have to compromise? Yeah, but then Simon Says happened. And it was such a huge record. Like, the first Ruckus song that made it to radio was Definition, Me and Most Def. And Flex liked that.

He was playing that. If you remember in the era, Flex was so big in that era. And so Simon Says comes next. And Simon Says, before Simon Says says the raucous thing was we don't need the radio we independent until you get a radio single then the label started chasing them hits remember they signed g-rap and they signed smith and wesson they had g-rap and jagged edge record it's like you know with all due respect to both g-rap and jagged edge that record didn't work that's not what you want to hear that's not what you wanted to hear from either one of them and so they got kind of caught

up in that trying to chase them hits I was gonna say in the confidence of knowing because I feel like especially the type of rapper that you are when you talk about knowing it's like understanding life and just like the amount of knowledge that you drop it's kind of like how do you navigate and just like staying balanced because the thing that you talk about aren't really light subjects like it's real life. I think for me, it's been rewarding to be this type of artist and to, you know, I love what I do. And I'm someone who focuses. I try my best to focus on the culture of hip hop. And I think people outside of the culture see hip hop one way.

They see it as just greed or sex and violence. And it's easy for them to critique that but i think for me and the community i come in come from it's just always been about the culture i'm excited about i wake up excited about it i think just trying to be excited about doing what you love for a living like i'm not i'm not in it to make money i want to make money but i'm not i don't rap to make money i try to i try to allow who i am to create revenue streams and and i encourage other artists to not depend on the art for revenue because it ain't out there like that yeah i hope i answered your question it's a good question i'm

not sure i answered it properly no you do i just i feel like because i'm a person who gravitates towards like conscious music and i feel like at times i don't want to be aware but I can't help but be aware because this is just where I'm like this is that's interesting yeah because music especially for people who are marginalized in the communities that we serve with our music these people have hard lives and so music should be an escapism and it often is and so a lot of people go to the club you go to the club people work hard all week they save up their coin people go to the club you go to club people work hard all week They save up the coin they go to the club. They don't want to hear somebody talk about the election or black Nationalism

In this room you gotta let me say with you Because I basically was trying to say that as well too like Even if I have like conscious music that I listen to like when I'm out and I'm partying I really don't it's the listen to, like when I'm out and I'm partying, I really don't, stuff gets heavy. Like I just want to party and have a good time. She started off by saying, nobody want to hear that.

That's not what I said. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, I said it was how it was edited yeah I was asked the question for the clips yeah right what I was basically trying to say is like even if the music is great and it has a place I think like more people feel like they want the escapism they do a lot of time I feel anyway I'm not a stats person this movie this movie that Issa Rae did years ago she kind of like set us up for Kendrick and Drake battle I forget what it's called is Issa Rae and years ago. She kind of set us up for the Kendrick and Drake battle. I forget what it's called. It's Issa Rae and Lakeith Stansfield. I know what you're talking about. In that movie, there was an argument about Kendrick and Drake.

It was a rom-com joint. Yeah. I can't remember the name of it. But the whole movie's based on he liked Kendrick, she liked Drake. And at the end of the movie, he like, I don't mean to spoil it, spoiler alert, but he buys her tickets to a Kendrick Lamar concert. Because it was like the philosophy of what Drake represents versus what Kendrick represents. Why the hell my brain

never caught that again? I never realized that. Why am I just realizing that now, yo? But she was early on that. You know what I'm saying? She was early. She's just acting.

I don't know if she wrote or produced it but she was the catalyst behind the movie. I don't know why that hasn't come up. I haven't heard that all year long.

I just thought about it just when you just said it. I just thought about it just when you just said it. I just thought about it. But, you know, I got this song, Get By. It's my biggest song. Whenever something bad happens to black people, y'all play it up here on the radio station. Yes, yep. You know what I'm saying?

No, we was playing it earlier. You know what it is. But, you know, I used to go to strip clubs a lot. I didn't go to strip clubs until I became known as a rapper. You know what I'm saying? Like, at a certain era of rap, strip clubs were very popular. And I would go in a strip club, and the DJs, a lot of the DJs, this is before, like, you could get Tidal on your Serato.

The DJs, a lot of times, in strip clubs, they might have just Get By and they crates. So I'm walking to a strip club, and they playing Get By, and them strippers is like, oh, I want to hear this. I'm going to have to twerk to this. You know So I'm walking to strip club and they playing Get By and them strippers is like, oh, I want to hear this. I have to twerk to this. You know what I'm saying? So yeah. Even though they doing

what they need to do just to get by. That's true. So I get what you're saying, but I will say this to that point. Because what you're saying is correct, the hardest thing to do is to make conscious music.

A hundred percent. I agree with you. And that's, I challenge myself. I run to it and knowing that challenge, knowing people want to hear that escapism. How can I agree with you. And that's, I challenge myself. I run to it and knowing that knowing people want to hear that escapism. How can I be so dope that even though they don't want to hear this,

they still gonna have to hear it. Alright, we got more with Talib Kweli. When we come back, don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Lawla Rosa filling in for Jess and Nala's hanging out with us. We're still kicking it with Talib Kweli. His new album, The Confidence of Knowing is out now, Charlamagne Tha Guy, We Are The Breakfast Club, Law and the Roses filling in for Jess, and Nala's hanging out with us. We're still kicking it with Talib Kweli.

His new album, The Confidence of Knowing, is out now. Charlamagne? Do labels still even matter? Like, what has changed since the 90s, early 2000s? Like, if it ain't radio, if it ain't labels, like, what do artists do? I think it's, you know, the power of the people.

I was listening to y'all talk about Tyler, the creator. I think what people from his generation, like the conversation that Tyler, that was had around Tyler and DJ Khaled when their records dropped at the same time. And Khaled was on social media, like not understanding how Tyler went number one. I think that to me signified the change. Yes. Where we're going from this like very industry-based radio with your relationship with radio to like the internet the internet because tyler is developing your organic fan base and i think uh tyler and our future and you know people like that are are they now like that like i was

alluding to they now the old school or that now there's new kids who i probably not don't even know about it was interesting right because when you have these conversations even about a child of the creator and i even think about you know you and most and all of them you got to sit back and think why aren't those guys in like the top five top you know greatest of all time conversations are the best of their era conversations because it's almost like i think they have the machine i think they are for though for though we i think we not in those conversations. People like our age are not having them conversations. I think that...

The kids are. Yeah. But I guess that's the question I'm trying to ask. When I look at a group like Blackstar, Mos Def, Talib, Kweli, should be mentioned in greatest hip-hop groups of all time category. Is it because there was no machine behind you to push that button? Well, we had a button push, though, to be fair. Okay.

Raucous gave the illusion of independence. But what made Raucous different wasn't just the artist they signed. It was because they took Blackstar and Company Flow and Coogee Rap and all these people, and they spent the money. They paid the payolas. They paid for the parties. They had this house in the hand you don't have to do the quotation marks you know what you know

but they paid they paid for when you in that era you saw raucous videos on rap city on 106 and park on they and they they they the radio promo all that stuff they did all the stuff the major label did while saying we're independent and i think that's the difference so it was a lie the whole time they were technically yeah technically they were independent but they were independent spending the way the majors were spending gotcha gotcha do you feel like a black star made a a wise decision or a poor decision by putting decision by not putting the last album out? Why? That's a great question. There's pros and cons to it.

The pros are the deal I did with Luminary, which was a podcast company, to put the Blackstar album out with Luminary, meant that by the time you heard the album, I'm in the black. That's never happened in my career. Wow. Normally, I have to go out and beg people to come buy the album. Hey, y'all, I got a new album out. And I didn't have to do that.

I already made my money back before the album ever came out. And so financially, lucrative wise, it made a ton of sense in the world. But I'm still a product of this culture. I still want to be involved in the culture. I'm a rapper. I want people to hear my raps. So the tradeoff is we made our money. I didn't lose any money. But a lot of people didn't get to hear the album. I will say that I wish, and this is a wish and a hope that people would be conscious consumers conscious radio hosts conscious radio programmers conscious djs conscious whatever conscious teachers conscious garbage collectors everything and uh if you're a

conscious consumer you're gonna want to meet the artists where they're at that's actually what i really was trying to ask in the confidence of knowing, because being conscious is like, you know, so much and you'll say these things, but people don't really hear you. And like, is that frustrating? Yeah, there's a lot of things that I that I hate being correct about and I get frustrated, but that's just ego. So I have to remove my ego from that. And that's that's why I laugh, because I've been working on that a lot lately. What were you correct about that now? You'd like told y'all like you were correct then but now it was so much there's i know there's one you'd be you could point to the song i don't think it's ego to be like i told you i don't think that's it has to be at least one or two give me like the top two of

like i said it okay i used to be on social media a lot i've been kicked off a bunch of social media because i argue with people and i gauge and they they don't want that and i with the arguments i'm having are over like bigotry and politics it's not like for in my in my opinion it's not trivial stuff it's stuff that's important to talk about but man if you ask anybody about me on social media who's not a fan of me you'll hear this often talib quali calls everybody a nazi he say why is he always saying everything is white nationalism everything is and what's in the news what's dominant in the news cycle you ain't gotta tell me you have a right-wing general yeah who in his and gave the definition of fascism he said fascism is a right-wing extremist that's right authoritarian

philosophy that this guy that i worked under when i was his military advisor is a fascist this guy praises hitler i've been ringing this bell for years since 2016 i was out in front of the white house protesting because he was saying fascist hitler like things and people were like you're crazy you keep saying nazi people would come to my page i put up an anti-trump post and people would stop what they're doing in a day and come to my page i put up an anti-trump post and people would stop what they're doing in a day and come to my page and be like you shouldn't do that you're a democratic puppet you're a puppet of the jews this is the type of things people say to me you tell me that i'm because i'm against nazi that i'm a puppet of the jews you know who you sound like you sound like

and i felt like i was going crazy a little bit because to me it's clear i'm a little disappointed in our mainstream media because the way that cnn and msnbc and all them they're on the story now but it's like this is nothing new i just had this conversation with anderson cooper last night yeah like literally because i i've been talking about this double standard the fact that we treat trump so normally is mind-boggling to me and if you've ever read like a book, like the fall, the rise and fall of the third, right. You can see exactly. We're on the same exact path of fast track to fascism.

And it is when Trump comes out and says, Kamala Harris is a socialist, communist Marxist. Those are the enemies of the Nazis politically. That's the opposite political spectrum. So if someone is trying to pander the nazis they're going to call you a socialist they're going to call you a communist they're going to and kamala harris is not any of these things she's an imperialist she's a capitalist she's not a

socialist she's never been a socialist she's never been a communist these are just boogeyman words and and the democrats kamala harris joe biden you know all of them barack obama bill clinton democrats as a party there's so many things you know all of them barack obama bill clinton democrats as a party there's so many things you could say that they've done wrong there's so many flaws there's so many times they've taken advantage of the black community there's so so much out there you could criticize them for and a lot of these criticisms are valid but what i find disheartening is you have people who can now become experts and can eloquently tell you how racist the 94 crime bill was and why Joe Biden shouldn't have said on this show,

you know, vote for me if I'm black. They know all that stuff. But then you point to Trump's racism and they're like, I don't see it. I don't see it. I don't see it. What? That's right.

I can't trust you. I'd rather trust someone who says, I don't trust either one of them than someone who's trying to convince me to support Trump. All right. We got more with Talib Kweli. When we come back, it's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Good morning, everybody. It's EJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Laura LaRosa filling in for Jess. Nala's hanging in with us for this interview. And we got Talib Kweli in the building. Lauren? When Kanye was on Drink Champs and he made the Common vs. You conversation,

and then you went responding and was like, you talked about how he told you that he didn't really want to be down for Trump, that Rick Rubin made him do that, and like all that stuff, right? Have you talked to Kanye since all of that stuff? Yeah, the last time I spoke to Kanye, I ran into him at a hotel, maybe last March. This is after Drink Champs? After Drink Champs. And this is after your comment. Had he saw what you said in response? Yes, this is the first time I saw Kanye after drink champs after drink and this is after your comment had he saw what you said in response yes this is the first time i saw kanye after drink champ and i walked up on him he

said i knew that was you i could tell from your silhouette of your baseball hat from across the room we had a long conversation and he told me then that he does not support trump anymore he said things since then publicly that would lead me to believe he still supports trump this guy goes back and forth but when he sees me both times i times I saw him, he says, I don't support Trump. I feel like he don't want to say that in front of me. But if you watch the Drink Champs, he says, Talib Kweli is always telling me to read. I wish he would read himself to death. That's what he said on the show. And it's because a lot of the things he says, I would send him links and articles. Instead of just being wrong, I'd be like, hey, read this so he was that's what

he was reacting to the fact that i keep trying to make him read and i feel like kanye is a genius he's an icon musical genius yeah musical genius ika fashion icon culturally he's very important but he's not very well read yep he's admittedly admittedly admittedly i don't read admittedly and i think not being well read i don't education shame i try to be careful because my parents are educators i so i try to be careful but i feel like the education american education system is failing us and this is why someone who's been indicted for rape has a very strong shot of being president for the second time and so you haven't talked to him recently to know like where he stands with the kamala the the trump right now i don't even think we care yeah i don't know i don't know what his position is on this now but i do last time i spoke to him directly

he seemed personally offended by like not getting what he the relationship he wanted from trump you know kanye kanye kanye kanye goes where he's liked there was a documentary made about me a few years ago someone interviewed kanye and he talked about how he met me and most def and yassin bay and he said nobody liked my beats no one liked my rhymes but i started working with these guys because they like me when you see kanye talk about his love for trump it's rooted in obama dissing him yeah these guys like me you know when you see him wear the red hat is because it's like the maga people they're supporting me even when nobody else is. These people support me. I think in the era of likes and wanting to be liked, I think Kanye just wants to be liked. Understandable.

Yeah, I mean, you know, man, once you see him hug Trump in the Oval Office and say, you're like a dad to me, I ain't never looked at him the same way. You make me feel like a man. I really have not looked at him the same way. Yeah, man, I got a lot of love for that guy, but he be saying wild stuff. How do you feel about the state of hip-hop today from just cultural aspects? When you think of the Kanye's, when you think of the Diddy's,

like Russell Simmons, it's like these pillars of our culture. The stains that are on their legacies now. What do you think about that? It's twofold. I'm conflicted about this a little bit. I don't think we can separate. I don't think we should separate these people from hip-hop. Hip-hop is beautiful. It's ugly. Hip-hop is good. It's badfold. I'm conflicted about this a little bit. I don't think we could separate. I don't think we should separate these people from hip hop. Hip hop is beautiful.

It's ugly. Hip hop is good. It's bad. We have conscious activists who are uplifting the community in hip hop. We have abusers and rapists in hip hop. We have all of it. So I think we do a disservice to ourself to not talk about it in that way. We have to hold each other accountable.

We should, in a hip hop community, we should hold these people accountable who are doing these things before it in that way. We have to hold each other accountable. We should, in the hip-hop community, we should hold these people accountable who are doing these things before it leaves our community. Before we have to see the mainstream media explain to us what a freak-off is. You know what I'm saying? This should already be issues handled in our community. With that said...

I'm glad I don't know what a freak-off is. You sure you don't? I couldn't explain it if I tried. Did you see the baby oil bottle? What was that? Did you see the baby oil bottle? Oh, y'all here. I saw y'all brought y'all some baby oil behind you? What was that? You see the baby oil behind you? Oh, y'all here. I saw that.

Y'all saw that. Is that from down there? Yes, exactly. See? Yes. But I will say that in the conversation, and I alluded to this earlier, we have to also understand that the conversation about hip hop is not being had with people like me in mind, with the conscious artists in mind.

And so, yes, hip hop is all those things. But hip-hop is also very beautiful. I don't think hip-hop should be held accountable for what Diddy is accused of. I agree. I don't think hip-hop should be held accountable for what any of these people are accused of or doing. With Diddy, even with Diddy, there's the accusations and then what we actually saw on the tape. So that's not an accusation. We saw him hit that girl like that and beat on that girl like that and like we have to deal with that but to me that's not a hip hop thing that we can't blame hip hop for that but as a hip hop community we should circle the

wagons and address it and i think that that's important too with um hip hop artists because i feel like a lot of times when things happen you really don't know where to lie because certain things have been normalized and also too you want to believe all women. But then sometimes we find out in court cases that things aren't true. But I think it's important. Like what you just said is like you allowed you said, you know what? I got that wrong. And then being able to step back and like learn for me as a woman.

I've learned so much from my male friends about that on my side of things. And I think of men, especially men in hip hop, were able to remove their ego, the chains, how big the chains are, how much they cost, and really listen to some of the women that are in their lives. You know what, Lauren?

I will say this because Lauren's absolutely right in everything that she's saying. I think that the things we thought was just music or the things we thought was just jokes did trigger somebody because somebody actually went through that.

I learned that watching the the dreamhampton doc that she did on r kelly when i when the when the victims were talking about how chapelle's jokes and boondocks jokes and everybody's jokes had affected them and i was like yo i never thought about that because in my mind we was clowning r kelly you never thought about and some people need the jokes to get over it some people are some just funny and some are just like some are just fine like that's the other thing i'm just funny but uh the confidence is known right you got a lot of new artists on this album yes a lot of new artists uh why was that intentional and shout

out to jay rolls i've done more features than anybody maybe size buster rhymes and so i'm kind of like tired of asking people for features you know because you feel like you have the favor bank with people you don't want to exhaust it and I and Rawls like we should need at least some features and I said okay Rawls I don't feel like calling up any more favors from these artists but you tell me what your wish list is and I'll make one phone call and if they deliver within the next couple of months I'm not chasing nobody for these features I'll put the call out and God bless everybody on the album every person on that wish list is on this album so that was J Rawls

I wanna he's like I wanna work with Jameda Rose I had never heard of Jameda Rose I wanna work with Coast Contra

I was familiar with Coast Contra I was like yes but I wasn't sure they were gonna get on the album even with the song I did with Demis

probably the most the song that's gained the most traction from the album Swat I sent them five beats before they picked

the beat they were very serious about like you know Georgia Ann Muldrow was someone he said I want Buckshot from the album. SWAT. I sent them five beats before they picked the beat. They were very serious about like, you know, Georgia Ann Muldrow was someone he, he said, I want Buckshot on the album. I was like,

that's nothing. We could get Buckshot on the album. So yeah, it's like, shout out to J. Rolls for making that decision. You got the song Native Sons on the album?

Yes. What's that song represent for you? Man, that song means so much to me. The Native Tongues is my foundation. Jungle Brothers, Tropical Quest,

De La Soul, Queen Latifah, Moni Love, Black Sheep, Muscle Rhymes, Leaders of the New School, Chiali, Beatnuts. What they laid down is like, that's really my blueprint as an artist. And so that song, I'm trying to figure out how much I want to share about this story. Share it. Because I was asked not to share certain aspects. Okay. But what I will say is that song started out in a darker place and because it's a tribute to the native tongues i sent it to q-tip and he was like that's not the right energy and

q-tip gave me suggestions on what i could do with that song and i took his suggestions and because of that the song is one of my biggest songs recently we went on jimmy fallon with the song i got a remix coming with some special guests that people are going to really love i hope it's the native tongues some of them are okay some of them are that people are going to really love. I hope it's the Native Tongues. Some of them are. Okay. Some of them are. And I just got to thank Q-Tip because the last bar

on that song was a Tribe Called Quest in the Hall of Fame. What did it mean for you to see Tribe Called Quest get inducted in the Rock and Roll

Hall of Fame? It means that we're doing the right thing. It means that when we had the confidence in knowing back then when hip-hop wasn't this global thing that we were right. I feel when we had the confidence of knowing back then when hip hop wasn't this global thing that we were right i feel so good for the family of fife q-tip is if

you watch that documentary that rap report did about tribe called quest pharrell in that documentary says we're all they sons and musically i believe that talib kweli y'all the confidence in knowing new album with jay rawls is out right now thank you for coming my brother, y'all. The Confidence of Knowing new album with J. Rawls is out right now. Thank you for coming, my brother. Thank y'all. Absolutely. It's Talib Kweli. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning, everybody.

She's a coach. She's with Lauren. Lauren. I'm back. And I got the man. Talk to me. Now, I know we covered a bit of this in front page news,

but I wanted to go back to Beyonce and Kelly in Texas because we didn't get a chance to listen to Kelly Rowland when she she was the person that did the first speech before Beyonce. And we didn't get a chance to listen to that. So I did want to listen to it because I felt like Kelly went off. Let's take a listen to Kelly Rowland. We are grabbing back the pen from those who are trying to write an American story that would deny the right for women to make our own decisions about our bodies. Houston, we are grabbing back the pen, that pen to forge a new path with Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. We are grabbing back the pen to write a new American story, a story of community, of equality, strength, of kindness, and of hope. And today, that means grabbing that pen and casting my vote, as I already did two days ago, for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. Now, Houston, you've already had a hand in creating destiny so do what you do and do this thing again so kelly and beyonce yeah kelly and beyonce both like their messages were it's like they use the

whole like music uh analogy to like uh get their points across the pen and you already had a chance at making destiny do it again but i thought she went she went into a reproductive right to just you know all these different things these different things that are so important right now but the energy was just there she set the tone for the energy so i'm going to make sure we took a listen drop on a few bombs for the godiva chocolate now uh following uh beyonce and kelly speaking in houston amber Rose got on Twitter and she jokingly, she said it was a joke, but it wasn't taken as a joke at first.

She tweeted, she want to be like me so bad, literally stole my whole speech talking about Beyonce. And boy, did she learn a lesson about getting on Beyonce's internet and acting crazy like that.

It picked up everywhere. Of course, people went crazy. Like, girl, what are you talking about? Stole your speech. Why would you ever compare yourself to Beyonce? Why would would beyonce ever be checking for you blah blah blah so she had to clear it up um they uh she was out in la and they ran into her and she cleared it up by basically just saying i was trolling i didn't think it would get picked up that wide now mind y'all amber rose knows she had centered herself in this whole political conversation

sis knew what she was doing with that tweet she knew exactly what she was doing with that tweet and they got the response that i guess she was saying she didn't want but it happened and she had to clear it up so please steer clear do not play with beyonce on her internet and let kelly rowland go off always period now in other political news we talked about trump at uh msg earlier but we didn't a madison square garden but we didn't get into dr phil But we didn't get into Dr. Phil. Now, I don't know what surprised me more this weekend. Dwyane Wade statue or Dr. Phil at this rally. We're going to talk about that statue, too.

They were both horrible. Yo, let's take a listen to Dr. Phil at MSG speaking on behalf or for and in support of President or former President Trump. By the way, we didn't choose the name for that by random merit street media this country was built on hard work added value and talent not on equal outcome not on dei this country was built on hard work i want to understand why people who are so against DEI and like the affirmative action and stuff like that. Like, why do they think just because people diversify things that the diversity isn't talented or smart or it doesn't have merit? Because I don't know if Dr. Phil remember, but the black woman that put him on, she worked hard.

She was smart. She was talented. I'm talking about Oprah. Absolutely. So I'm just very confused why they don't put the two synonymously together. put him on she worked hard she was smart she was talented i'm talking about oprah absolutely so i'm just very confused why they like don't put the two synonymously together like just because it's i'm adding to a diversity number i'm not smart and talented or maybe they don't want to have to compete with people that they know uh probably will be better than them listen you know and

if you if you're if you're mediocrity has no problem with uh other forms of mediocrity but you know when you bring somebody that's just in the room that may just be naturally more brilliant naturally more intelligent naturally just better than you on every level maybe you just want to keep them out the room so you don't have to compete yeah but those people just don't have the opportunities a lot of times don't have the money don't have a lot of the things that they need to get into that position and sometimes yes dei i mean look at all the people that have to go to colleges that have never got an opportunity. I would never have gotten

the opportunity to go to some of those Harvard's, Stanford's and those places because of it. So yeah, and America is not America without DEI. I mean, I'm not, forget the, you know,

whole corporate definition of DEI. I'm just talking about diversity, equity and inclusion. If you don't have diversity and inclusion in America, you don't have diversity and inclusion in america you don't have an america baby let me tell you the way they flood in dr phil's comments today y'all been on his instagram i've never you never went to his instagram they are in the comments pissed okay i was so surprised to see dr phil on that stage especially i feel like were you what yes i was

like if you were going to vote yeah that was right if you were going to vote... Yeah, that was a problem. If you were going to vote for Trump, okay, cool, do you. But to get out there to be now a walking poster child for him after all of the things that have been said and things that have been done recently, I'm like, does he not know his audience?

Because my grandma and my aunts, I couldn't wait to tell them. You couldn't wait to tell them? We're not watching them shows no more. They love him because of Oprah and how she had him on her back forever. more they love him because of Oprah and how she like had him on her back forever so they love him

but no and my grandma she already got up and did her early voting and all that but she was very upset she was very upset with Dr. Phil

yes she was pissed feel free to come up here and explain Dr. Phil if you feel so inclined he's been up here many times plenty of times I've been on Dr. Phil's show

plenty of times man that wasn't it they missed the mark with that one alright well that was Jess with the mark with that one. All right. Well, that was Jess with the mess with Lola Rosa. Charlemagne.

Yes, indeed. Who are you giving that down to? Man, four after the hour. Let's continue to talk about the rally that happened at the Garden yesterday. I'd like Tony Hinchcliffe to come to the front of the congregation. Stephen Miller can come to the front of the congregation. Donald Trump's whole campaign can come to the front of the congregation. You know, let's have a word with all of them.

Okay. All right. Well, let's get to that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Come on. Wake up. Wake up. You're locked into the Breakfast Club.

This is America. There is no question that there are problems in this country between police and community. Yes. You are a donkey. The latest on that police killing of a black man. Now to new developments in the deadly spa shooting rampage. It was a really bad day for him, and this is what he did. And so we are in a state of emergency.

Okay, white supremacist violence is and always has been the number one threat to our society. But I'm also very proud that my wife is white. To the breakfast club, bitches! Alright, Charlene, please tell me, why was i your donkey of the day donkey of the day for monday october 28th goes the comedian tony hinchcliffe uh trump senior advisor stephen miller held a whole trump campaign okay now if you haven't heard donald trump held a rally at madison square garden yesterday uh now a lot of people were likening this rally to a pro-Nazi event that happened at the garden in 1939. People would only make those comparisons based on the rhetoric of Donald Trump because there's been other political events at MSG.

JFK had a birthday party there. That's when Marilyn Monroe serenaded him. The DNC and the RNC have had conventions there. There's been political events there before, but none of those got compared to pro-nazi events because the headliner of the events didn't speak like nazis okay well you would think that if leading up to the event people were comparing uh you know comparing the event to a pro-nazi rally if i was trump or trump's campaign i would probably tell everybody on the bill to go the opposite way of that rhetoric but that wouldn't be the mega way would it tony hinchcliffe according to people magazine was the first speaker of nearly 30 openers and he let the chopper fly he hit latinos

jewish people and black people he was just the opener okay let's listen to what he said about uh jewish people in the conflict in the middle east we got that right when it comes to israel and palestine we're all thinking the same thing. Settle your stuff already. Best out of three. Rock, paper, scissors. You know the Palestinians are going to throw rock every time. The Olsen of the Jews have a hard time throwing that paper. You know what I'm saying? Let's listen to what Tony Hinchcliffe said about black people. The other side's got a lot of crazy endorsements. Swift, Eminem, Leo DiCaprio, Beyonce. Every day the Democratic Party looks more and more like a P. Diddy party.

Oh. Oh, okay. Okay, that's what you guys want. Heck yeah. This cool black guy with a thing on his head. What the hell is that, a lampshade? Look at this guy. Oh my goodness. I'm just kidding, that's one of my buddies.

He had a Halloween party last night. We had fun, we carved watermelons together. It was awesome. Let's listen to what he said about Latinos. It's wild. And these Latinos, they love making babies too just know that they do they do there's no pulling out they don't do that they come inside just like they did to our country it is absolutely wild times there's a lot going on like i don't know if you guys know this but

there's literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now. Yeah. I think it's called Puerto Rico. He's wild. Yo, Trump should have took him off speakerphone. Like, that's the friend you don't put. Like, come on. Jesus Christ.

Like, what? Now, here's the thing. I'm all for offensive comedy. Okay. I actually love it. I don't have an issue with it. Push the envelope. It has a place. But what's the number one rule of offensive humor?

It has to be funny. Hysterical. You have to say to yourself, that was effed up, but man, it was funny. Tony, you wasn't funny. Okay? I was sitting there thinking to myself, he wrote this? Like, it was basic. Felt almost ChatGPT-ish.

All right? First of all, salute to all the Puerto Ricans out there. Drop on the clues, boss, for Puerto Rico. Okay? Wepa! Y'all are America. if you're not america you're damn sure in new york okay all day new yorkers love puerto rican new yorkers you know think puerto rico is an exotic and beautiful island because it is and puerto rico is part of

america am i tripping it is okay it is absolutely positive tony you was in there pandering and didn't even know who you was pandering to. Okay? I think the black joke was some crowd work, but everything else, it sounds like he actually gave thought to it, wrote it out, which makes this even worse because it simply wasn't funny. And what I don't get, what I don't understand, and the reason I'm giving out this hee-haw is why. What is the reason? And I'm talking directly to the Trump campaign. You are running a campaign to be the next president of the United States of

America you have to be a president to all people or at least act like you are okay there was a point where Republican Matt Gaetz said for every Karen MAGA loses there is a Julio and Jamal ready to sign up now what that means is that polls show they are losing white women and polls were showing that they were seeing record numbers in black and Latino men. That has recently changed because I saw ABC News poll yesterday that showed the vice president Kamala Harris winning black men, 85 percent Hispanic men, 63 percent. So either something she is currently doing is working. Are those polls saying black men weren't supporting her? We're wrong. I lean to the polls polls were wrong but let's just talk politics

right this is this was just bad politics yesterday this is why i say donald trump is entertaining on podcast okay donald trump is entertaining on podcast but he's really bad at politics at some point people have to start acknowledging this he hasn't won a campaign since 2016 and because he's not able he's not able to grow his base past MAGA. That's it. Okay, he will always win big with his base, but he can't broaden his support because of stuff like this. Now, his campaign did release a statement. This is what they said. Let's go to ABC7 New York for the report, please.

Tony Hinchcliffe is a comedian and podcaster, and his remarks set off an avalanche of criticism. His comments targeted a critical demographic in a very tight election. Analysts anticipate a record 36.2 million Latinos will cast a ballot this year, many of them Puerto Ricans who live in New York and Florida and Pennsylvania. Officials in Puerto Rico responded as well. Jennifer Gonzalez, a Republican running to be the island's governor,

called the comments despicable, inappropriate, and disgusting. In Florida, Republican Senator Rick Scott said, The joke bombed for a reason. It's not funny, and it's not true. Puerto Ricans are amazing people and amazing Americans. Moments ago, Hinchcliffe came to his own defense. He said, These people have no sense of humor. I love Puerto Rico

and vacation there. Now, former President Trump's campaign released a statement tonight saying the joke does not reflect the views of President Trump or the campaign. Nope. You can't distance yourself from it now. There is no distance. You put this man on your program. You didn't vet anything

he was going to say. You just let him go up there and speak freely you cannot have it both ways you can't garner the support of bigots and white supremacists and then distance yourself when the inevitable backlash comes okay that wasn't the only thing though trump's senior advisor stephen miller uh he said america is for americans and amer only. You know who said something similar in 1934? Adolf Hitler, when he said Germany is for Germans and Germans only. Do we have Stephen's comments? America is for Americans and Americans only. That was last night.

Once again, 1934, Adolf Hitler. Germany is for Germans and Germans only. Listen, man, why insult any demographic when the election is so tight? And if you want to support Trump as a black person, Latino person, Jewish person, that's your business. But just know you are voting against your own interests. You are voting for a man in a power structure that simply does not respect you. OK, we've been watching and listening to this kind of rhetoric since 2016. And the words of Maya Angelou, when someone shows you who they are, believe them them I stand on the fact that Donald Trump does not want to be president of the United States

of America I bet if they cut him some type of deal to where he wouldn't end up in prison he would walk away because he's doing everything in his power to not win now he's building up an incredible code of racists and bigots that are going to support him to the end but he's not trying to win this election and if you are black latino jewish any minority women if you are any minority and you're voting for donald trump i have one question who taught you to hate yourself please give tony hinchcliffe and the whole trump campaign the biggest eho all right i don't even know. What did Trump say at the right? I didn't hear it. Honestly, I don't even know.

He cited the dance party with Beyonce, but that was before he got to New York or after he left New York. Yeah, that was before or after. I only seen a picture. I didn't actually hear him talk. He probably kept it light. He was like, man, y'all went too hard. You know how when you're a DJ and you got a bunch of DJs opening for you

and they played all the hits? And it's like, man, what do I do now? Yeah, I don't even know what he said. We can cha-cha slide. Cha-cha slide is crazy. They did that last time, didn't they? Didn't they cha-cha slide before?

I don't know. I thought he played some music with cha-cha. Carbon Watermelons is crazy. That is wild. All right, well, thank you for that donkey today. Now, when we come back,

Tony Rock, Chris Rock's brother, he was trending over the weekend because he was doing his podcast and this is what he said during the podcast here's something i've always wanted to know how is it that chris rock is your brother and i don't see you in no chris rock and now before you answer here's the one that me up the most the movie that chris and martin was in where they play brothers so definitely i'm, not in a million years do Chris Rock and Martin

have the same facial features. Yes. Tony is his brother and looked like him. How is Tony not in the f***ing movie playing his brother? Explain that to me. To try to explain.

My brother, he's a businessman when it comes to his movies and TV stuff. You know what I'm saying? So, Martin's bigger than me. I need to sell this movie. Tony's my brother. Yes, there will be some, you know, hey, him and his brother in a movie. Let's go check it out.

But him and Martin push the needle more. Chris will tell you, I've asked him for five favors my whole life. He said no every time. And I swore on everything I loved. I would never ask him for anything as long as I lived. So the question, 800-585-1051. should you have to put your brother on your family on that is the question let's talk about it when we come back again 800-585-1051 should you have to put your brother on it's topic time call 800-585-1051 to join into the discussion with the breakfast club morning everybody it's dj envy just hilarious charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club

now uh lauren larosa is filling in for jess if you're just joining us we're talking about something tony rock said which is chris rock's brother about uh him being in movies or doing stuff with his brother chris rock let's listen here's something that i've always wanted to know how is it that chris rock is your brother and i don't see you in no chris rock and now before you answer here's the one that me up the most the the most. The movie that Chris and Martin was in where they played brothers. That f***ed me up. I'm going, not in a million years do Chris Rock and Martin have the same facial features. Yes.

Tony is his brother and looked like him. How is Tony not in the f***ing movie playing his brother? Explain that to me. To try to explain. My brother, he's a businessman when it comes to his movies and tv stuff you know i'm saying so martin's bigger than me i need to sell this movie tonal's my brother yes there will be some you know hey him and his brother in a movie let's go check it out but him and martin push the needle more chris will tell you i've asked him for

five favors my whole life he said no every time and i swore on everything i loved i would never ask him for anything as long as i live so we're asking 800-585-1051 what are your thoughts you know if should you should you have to put your family on that is the question i don't have any brothers or sisters i'm an only child so i'm gonna ask you guys in the room first you have brothers yes i have a older brother younger brother and do you have to no should you yes but i think you do set boundaries depending on that your your relationship but also depending on you know what your brother or your sister whoever can do and you got to protect kind of what you've built sometimes but tony's funny as hell yeah but i was about to say if you got a talented family member

that is in the business and is doing well and can uphold their own like why not like you know what I mean I just look at you know and I don't know their relationship I don't know if they have problems if they don't like each other what their relationship is I don't know we're not in that family but I always look at the Wayans brothers right and the Wayans they hire everybody and not just for in front of the camera you know they come up here you talk about behind talk about behind the scenes, runners, show runners, and all this other stuff. So, I wouldn't know. If Tony wasn't funny, then I'd be like, okay, I get it. But Tony's funny as is.

But when the Chris Rock, Will Smith stuff happened, Tony came out like. Ready to fight for Chris. It's his brother. That's his brother, right. You know what I mean? So, it seems like they cool. Like, they just got a sibling relationship. So, I don't know what's going on.

What'd you think, Sharla? He ain't hiring nobody. I don't know. I going on what'd you think charlotte he ain't hiring nobody uh i don't know i mean like you know yeah i don't feel like you're not i don't feel like you're obligated to to put put on put on a family member um i think you should put on people who put themselves in positions to win and you should put on people who you feel like you want to put on like i mean i guess that it got to be in your spirit right like i don't know what the situation is maybe chris that feels like he maybe hasn't had the right role for tony i don't know what it is i don't know what the reasoning is you know i mean i know there's two sides every story

but do you have to no are you obligated to no should you it depends see it depends if i had a brother or sister i think my mother and my father would make me Oh they try to make you All the time My mom calls me My mom and my father Would force me They were like What you doing You bringing your brother with you

They would force me But I would force my kids too When my kids do something I'd be like Take your brother with you Make sure your brother Knows what you're doing Yes but then

If you had siblings You would also know There's certain times Where taking your brother with you Might not make sense Depending on where your brother is In his life or whatever But I have no issue with that When you can can help you help when you can you can't

sink the ship if you build if you're the person that's building the ship you can't sink the ship trying to help everybody else unless that for like charlotte said if they're in a position you know i mean they're gonna keep and push the ship cool go ahead yeah you gotta put you can only put people in positions to win if said person has already put themselves in a position that's the whole thing about putting somebody on right you don't you don't really put people on people put themselves on and then you assist them in helping them either get to that next level or you see an opportunity for them and this person is already preparing for it then you plug them in like there's really no such thing as putting somebody on. I can't just wave

a magic wand and say, ha ha, you're on. Sitting on nobody's lap don't work either. That ain't true. Hello, who's this? Good morning, it's Lynn.

Hey, Lynn, good morning. What's your thoughts, Lynn? I feel like he should've put his brother on. I feel like in certain communities people always feel like they gotta struggle. I'm not saying, like,

put on a lazy family member, but if you see that they working hard, help them out. Okay. They can. But don't it got to be the right thing, though? It got to be the right opportunity. You can't just put him anywhere. You want to put him in a position to win even more.

For the Martin conversation, we need to talk about... Go ahead. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I mean, you're right, but at the end of the day, who are you to pick and choose what would have been right or wrong? You got to give an opportunity. No, no, no. You an opportunity. You the business owner.

See, that don't make no sense exactly. You can't say, who are you? I'm the person that's putting them in position. Yeah, gotta make sense. The Martin thing that he said, it's like, I get that. Martin's a bigger name trying to sell a movie, but there has had to be other times where he could have threw the... We all have wondered this, because I used to wonder

that about Tony too because he opened up his brother a couple times right didn't he did he open up for Chris a couple times yeah but it's Chris Rock it's so much other things

that he can also do as well too like movies and shows it's just a lot I think the top five example he gave was the best one because he said that Chris told him that he was going to

put him in the movie and he never got the call and then yeah so that to me is the best example that's crazy but that's crazy though you're saying that because you so that that to me is the best example but that's crazy though you're saying that because you think it's crazy yeah i think it's great that's a better

example than the martin thing but i just look at the waynes brothers and i guess it's two different families two different people but i just look at i mean they had showing a dj they had this one doing this they had their brothers and so much stuff to make sure their brothers would be their family was taken care of i just look at that differently. Hello, who's this? Hi, this is Robin from Detroit. Robin, what up, though? Hi, good morning. So, when it comes down to Chris Rock and Tony Rock, I just feel like, look at the Williams Brothers dynamic.

They all are successful, and they made a name for themselves, all because one brother started everything to put them on. I get it that Tony Rock don't want no handouts. What's wrong with a little help? Tony Rock, I mean, yeah that Tony Rock don't want no handouts. But what's wrong with a little help? Think about it.

Tony Rock, I mean, yeah, Tony Rock, he was in all of us. I thought he was hilarious. In what? What did you see of him? Huh? You said he was in what? All of us. With, you know.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, he was pretty funny. The dude was pretty dope. But what is it that you really don't see that much of him? I mean, Chris walked in as brother. I don't see what the issue with a little help or, you know, put him on somehow. You know, that's all.

I mean. I didn't think by. Go ahead. I was going to say Tony was in. He was on Everybody Hates Chris. He had a recurring role on Everybody Hates Chris. He played Uncle Something. I know he was an uncle on Everybody Hates Chris. He had a recurring role on Everybody Hates Chris. He played Uncle, Uncle something.

I know he was an uncle on Everybody Hates Chris. He did. I forgot about that. You're right. Yeah. You know, some things,

but, you know, I mean, your brother, you know, I'm not saying like, okay, this is your brother's

successful, you have to hang on his coattails. No, I'm not saying that, but it's not wrong with a little, you know, a little bit more help

Now that was all for the Aries Spares podcast we're just taking your calls 800 yes that is all and I do want to just note yes Chris might not never have found the right movie role for Tony but Tony did have a recurring character on Everybody Hates Chris right like that's that that's important yeah okay that was a huge show. He played Uncle Ryan on Everybody Hates Chris. Hello, who's this?

This is Big J. Big J, what's up? Talk to us. What's your thoughts, brother? Hey, man, we as black people, man, this sense of entitlement, man, we got to stop. If I get on and I make it, it's not my responsibility to make sure another adult makes me. Whether that's my brother, my sister, my cousin, whoever. Now, I can look out at my choice,

but after that, man, that's on you. You got to make your own path. I can't design your path for you. I see what you're saying. I kind of disagree, though. I feel like if you're in a space and an opportunity to bring somebody up, you should. If they're going to keep coming back, man,

they're like stray dogs. You feed them once, they're going to be on your porch every day. First of all, I thought we were going to use cats for that one. Yeah, you don't have to compare black people to stray dogs. I don't want to call my people stray dogs, but I'll just say that they're more needy than others

when you hand out a handout. Jesus. And it's not a handout. Once again, Chris Rock may not have found the right movie vehicle for Tony Rock, but when he had a sitcom, his brother had a recurring character on there on Everybody Hates Chris as Uncle Ryan. Hello, who's this?

Hi, this is Tania. Hey, Tania. Good morning. What's your thoughts? Hi. So regarding the Chris Rock situation, I feel like I do understand why he decided to go with Martin Lawrence. I don't think it's necessary to put your family on but i feel like you know if you can it's definitely good to

do that but i don't think it's like a necessity especially if you're like a famous actor like chris rock and a comedian and you want to sell a movie yeah for that situation i understand him getting martin lawrence yeah martin lawrence is the biggest star you want to sell movie you want to sell tickets i understand that it's been roles. He's played roles in shows. Like, I know he was in Fargo. I mean, Chris does a lot. But, I mean, it's like his own vehicles that he's actually producing and stuff. I don't know.

Because I think people's sentiment with, like, being like, nah, that's crazy, Chris Rock, is because Chris Rock is, like, the big, huge superstar Chris Rock. And people feel like Tony Rock is funny, and he's not as big of a star. And his brother is, so he should be. I think that's kind of where that's coming from too it's like yeah he did everybody hates Chris huge show great opportunity and he did well but what else I think that's the sentiment that I think it's all how you look at it and I think it's all how you look at family some people believe in that you know people got to make their own ways and do their own thing I look at family differently right I want to set my family up i want to set my kids up i want to set if i had a brother or sister up and i hope that if they were

in a better position than i was they would do the same for me that's how i would look at family you want you like i was just telling mac mac was here earlier i was like if i had a brother i would want my brother to be a part of my team because you feel like or you would hope that your brother is somebody that you could always trust that he's not there for money he's not there for the accolades he's there because he actually loves you you would hope that but you have brothers and sisters yeah but just because we're in the same business uh don't mean that we're doing the same things and i'll look out when i can but also the biggest thing that i heard tony talk about was when he said that chris hit him up and was like yo i want you to be in top five and then he never heard anything back you know other than that

i don't i don't think that you know chris has an obligation to do anything but i will also say this and i think we all know that sometimes we want to do something and we forget like you can't forget that the ball is dropping certain things you would think oh i told my brother i forgot nobody called my brother you don't got sibling because your mom ain't gonna let you forget that if i didn't call my brother about that movie you know what's going first of all my mom and my brother my mom's gonna he's just showing up anyway you told your brother he had a job and he's here you better figure this out right now i'm calling mom okay how old you are call the mom no you don't just forget about

something like that with your sibling all i know is salute to tony rock salute to chris rock and my peoples uh peoples Tony was definitely A recurring character On Everybody Hates Chris As far as movies and stuff I can't I don't know I can't speak for any of that

But he definitely Had a recurring role On Everybody Hates Chris He might pop up On the cartoon We don't know He could He might be on

Everybody Still Hates Chris cartoon That's out right now They don't give me beef though They don't give me That they like Not all okay Like there's more to it I just think i don't know this is not really a confrontational type person right but and tony be out here stepping hard for his yeah he does absolutely i wonder should you even be having that conversation on a podcast i you know what's

so crazy i've never heard him talk about anything like this when it comes to his brother people ask this question a lot i don't know what made him decide to do it now me neither that's what i was wondering i was like should he even be having this conversation on a podcast i yeah because he knows how people are going to pick this apart he knows people are going to criticize chris right you know what i'm saying like he knows that and i know i know he don't want that for chris nah because he'd be ready to throw hands absolutely for his brother but i also think too like i used to um miss diddy i'm sorry that's not her name anymore candace grace used to do um this like comedy night in la every wednesday um and tony rock was hosted and he was so so funny but he would never ever lean into anything about chris

rocker like it was something you don't have to exactly he wanted to build his own name it was certain people that i would bring there that didn't even know He was Chris Rock's brother And I thought that that was dope Like he didn't lean into any of that He can but he didn't Alright well let's get to Just with the mess With Lauren LaRosa

The news is real Lauren's Jessica Robin Moore Just don't do no lying Just don't do no lying She don't stir nobody Worldwide Jess Worldwide mess On The Breakfast Club She's the coach of shoes With Lauren Lauren LaRosa All righty, guys.

So over the weekend, Dwayne Wade received a statue. He's the first Heat player to receive a statue outside of the Casilla Center in Miami. Oh boy, this statue. Crazy. Let's take a listen because he was there and he spoke and he was excited to be receiving a statue. Then we'll get into the way that it looks. Let's take a listen to Dwayne Wade at the unveiling. I didn't really prepare a lot for this moment actually.

I got a book up here. There's only a few things in here i wanted to um i wanted to feel this life is so life goes by so fast it's very rare that we get to feel things because we always off to the next thing and so i didn't prepare much because i just wanted to feel this man i wanted to look at it like that's crazy i can't believe that who is that guy he said who is that guy we was all trying to figure out who that guy was either yo y'all charlie you seen the statue i did see the statue but i mean he was it was like an action shot right so i think we be comparing these action shots to how people just look when they got their resting face on now

what you're doing wave i ain't never heard you be this nice because that statue, action, action, no action, reaction. That statue was off. It didn't look that off. Yes, it did. It didn't look like Dwyane Wade at all. It looked like a totally different person.

Bro, that was like the SSI check version of him. Like, they aged him like 20, 30 years and that statue was gone. They ordered that off a T-Mobile. That did not look like Dwyane Wade at all.

And he's like, I wanted to feel this moment. I wanted to look at this moment. I'm like, I know. There's no way you see that. It didn't look like him. So how does the process go? Does he get like, I wanted to feel this moment. I wanted to look at this moment. I'm like, I know. There's no way you see that. It didn't look like him. So how does the process go? Does he get to see it prior to?

I'm sure he didn't get to see it. It was one I saw that looked worse, though. Who was it last year? I think they actually changed it. It was somebody last year. Maybe it was a couple years ago. What it did? Allen Iverson.

It was somebody that didn't look like them at all. But that does not look like Dwyane Wade to me. I mean, it just looked like an action shot, so I don't know. It's kind of hard to tell. I got to look at it and really look at the details, because all you see is mouth, honestly. Pause. Shut up.

That's all you saw. That's all he was looking for. But Kobe's look like Kobe. Jordan looks like Jordan. Right? I don't remember. Was it Allen Iverson statue people was mad because it was so little? It was so short, but they didn. Was it out of the Iverson statue? People was mad because it was so little?

It was so short, but they didn't understand it was outside the facility where they were all, I think, that same size. I just saw the Jordan one, too. I saw the Jordan one

when I was in Chicago for the DNC convention, but I mean, you don't really pay attention to it because it's like the, it's the logo. It's him, you know,

so it's like you're not really paying attention to the details of the face. But that one don't look like him. Jordan, okay, I see what you, Jordan's statue ain't really giving Jordan either, but it's the it's the and see that's my thing

about statues right yeah it's but he got like a he got the jordan you know the see growing up it felt like historically the statues we saw people were people that we never saw in real life so for all we know none of these statues probably ever looked like any of these we just we're just realizing it now people these people are alive. Yo, that's so crazy if that's true. Let me look up something. Who else had a statue? Kobe.

Kobe statue. But that's my point. We never saw statues of people that were alive. At least I don't remember when I was young. Nah, Kobe statue is given. Kobe looks like Kobe. Yeah, this looks like Kobe. They had to get that right, though. I don't know, but if you're going to statue me, get something right.

I want to see the picture that they used to make the statue. And I can make a bet. It don't know but if you're gonna statue me get something right i want to see the picture that they used to make the statue and i can make it don't look like now you want to see the inspo no i'm saying it's an action shot he got his mouth open it's like he got different emotions in the face i gotta see i gotta see the original picture yeah that's giving like when you get a text that's something that should have been a phone call because you misinterpreted it that statue ain't it look at magic johnson. See Magic Johnson's statue. Okay. Statue comparisons. Let's see.

Let's see. Who is this man? That's Magic. Okay, yeah. No, yeah. No, no, no, no. Envy. This thing.

Okay, maybe not. Which one y'all looking at, knocker? Magic got a couple statues. The one in the Lakers jersey. That's what I'm saying. We ain't never paid attention. Wait, y'all. We need to make sure. If we just realize

that none of these people ever look like themselves ever. Kobe, they did Kobe's whack. Look up Asia Wilson real quick. Asia Wilson got a statue outside of Colonial Life Arena.

Look up Asia Wilson. I've never paid attention to be honest with you. Statues are statues. They dope. It's just dope. Can I see her face? See, that's my other other that's the thing no i'm saying like it that's the way that the statue is see you ain't never paid attention no this ain't asia how that ain't

asia that ain't her y'all ain't never paid attention to statues that's what i'm realizing now statues don't necessarily look like people because Because like you said, you know what? The sad thing about it is we don't really see too much of ourselves in statues, right? Because usually you see a statue of Christopher Columbus. You see a statue of all these old white men. But you don't even know they look like that. You're right. Y'all, I'm so mad that we took all this time looking through these statues. Who are these people?

Hey, they got statues. Drop on the Clues Bomb for them, okay? We have other stuff to do man We striking it don't don't don't you just lower like that to where it gives you a little duck, but I imagine you I'm not imagining Sure I'm not imagining. Let me finish. Imagine you in the same little shirt you had on at the Wild N' Out show, Duncan. You know how many t-shirts you're going to say? Because you're tripping.

Oh, my God. What? What? The same little shirt you had on at the Wild N' Out show. Okay. All right. All right. All right.

Duncan. All right. All right. Yo, you're not beautiful or good looking. You are gorgeous. There's a lot of gorgeous women in the NBA. Sometimes when people first see y'all, they see what y'all do. They don't know how fucking beautiful y'all are. But when

y'all walk into the game, men are watching the game, hey man, we like what we like. Oh my gosh, we like what we like. So if we like that and then you see y'all dunking, man, y'all money gonna go up tremendously. Baby, they drag Shaq for filth.

What'd they say? They're upset that number one they feel like um angel reese was just put in an uncomfortable position like she seemed uncomfortable at the time when he was making the comments about her in the shorts uh number two you know shack and her have a relationship he walked her out and like the whole reebok thing people like she's finally realizing in real time that men don't do anything for women for no reason there's always an exchange that they want um and just the age difference of course it just was giving creepy it's how a lot of people feel uh yeah this is they don't know their relationship it could be big brother little sister where they joke they laugh all the time Shaq did get her a deal Shaq what he runs Reebok or that division

of Reebok got signed on to that deal they have a great relationship you don't know their relationship walked around at her retirement no not retirement knock retirement. Senior day. Knock it off. To me, Shaq was talking from a business perspective. He's talking about what will make other men tune into the WNBA. That's how I took it. I didn't think he meant anything by it. I do disagree with Shaq that the women have to dunk. He said they need to lower the room for them to dunk.

I disagree with that. Because the league has changed. And those logo threes, those are like the new dunks nowadays like when you see somebody just on fire and they shooting from the logo to me that gets a bigger reaction than dunks do nowadays the dunk isn't what it used to be the dunk contest isn't even what it used to be yeah but her whole thing is like we good regardless so like don't sexualize us that's what that's if you look in the conversation they were trying to have yeah that's the conversation she was getting to or whatever but i mean i think it's always going to give for people with shack they always trying to make them Yeah, that's the conversation she was getting to or whatever. But I mean, I think it's always going to give for people with Shaq.

They always trying to make him a creep. So I don't know. There's just, I don't know why they. But whatever. It's creepy. You seen this Shaq. Speaking of Duncan. Is that Shaq's statue?

This do not look like Shaq. That's, yeah. At all. So what I'm realizing is y'all don't be really looking at that. No. That's what I'm realizing. These statues is giving

who did the body. Cause like, what in the heck is that? This is not Shaq. But it's never about the face with the statue. Because like, what in the heck is that? This is not shit. But it's never about the face with the statue. It's about the fact that you see the statue outside of the arena doing something iconic. Because you're like, when Shaq, that's a Shaq dunk. Dunk, right. Or you see Michael Jordan.

It's the Michael Jordan air logo. That's what you're looking at. You're not paying attention to nothing else. You do my statue, y'all. Just make sure they get me right. My hair, everything. Now that I'm thinking about it,. You do my statue, y'all. Just make sure they get me right. My hair, everything. Now that I'm thinking about it,

that Dwayne Wade, is that him pushing down? Is that what that's supposed to be symbolizing? We got to wrap up. I don't know. We don't even know if that's really him.

They just put somebody. That's D-Wade. All right. Sleuth to all of those people with statues. Yeah, Charlamagne's statue would be three foot two.

All right, now let's get to the mix. Sticking the thighs. Browning the eyes. You need to build one of me outside this damn station. How about that?
