It's a long season. He's used to losing. Morgan,
Starting point is 00:07:31 good morning, Morgan. Morning, morning. Happy Monday, y'all. Lauren, how you feel? Fellas, y'all all right? How your team did, Morgan? Never mind. Go ahead. Keep going. Nah, we lost, but you know, the other home team, you know, beat the Giants. So, yeah, that was the other home team. You can't have another home team, Morgan. Well, I was raised to, you know, beat the Giants. So, yeah, that was the other home team. You can't have another home team, Morgan. Well, I was raised to, you know, command.
Starting point is 00:07:49 Well, pick a name. A Redskins fan. Right. I was raised that way. Commanders, yes. Yes, but I, you know, I stopped with the Delulule like you did, you know. Nope, no such thing. I'm riding with mine to the end, baby.
Starting point is 00:08:00 But, yeah, shout out to the Ravens, you know. Get it right next week. Okay, so I really want to talk about how a time was had at congressional black caucus but i will save the best for last first let's talk about how federal officials are reporting that there was yet another assassination attempt on trump's life so the former president was reportedly golfing at his trump international golf course in palm beach florida when shots rang out and he was rushed to safety here's audio from palm Beach County Sheriff Rick Bradshaw, who describes the situation more.
Starting point is 00:08:29 Fortunately, we were able to locate a witness that came to us and said, hey, I saw the guy running out of the bushes. He jumped into a black Nissan, and I took a picture of the vehicle and the tank. In the bushes where this guy was is an AK-47 style rifle with a scope, two backpacks which were hung on the fence that had a ceramic tile in them, and a GoPro, which he was going to take pictures of. So the suspect identified as 58-year-old Ryan Wesley Ruth was posted up in the bushes about 400 to 500 yards away from Trump. He fled the scene when he was spotted by authorities and was later taken into custody alive in neighboring Martin County.
Starting point is 00:09:13 Now, local and federal officials are continuing to investigate this incident and charges are to be determined. But it's also important to note that the neighborhood near the golf course is a reportedly high crime area. So they're trying to figure out if this was actually, well, feds are calling it a, uh, an assassination attempt, but still, um, now it was Ryan Leslie roof was Swifty. Okay. Is it a coincidence that Donald Trump woke up saying he hates Taylor Swift? And then hours later he was getting shot at. That is determined. No correlation. Hi FBI, you're not investigating that.
Starting point is 00:09:44 We got to talk about how bad the secret service is all right this is the second time and the fact that they did say they seen him they fired at him and they missed him he was able to run back into his truck and take off and the secret service seen none of this and they're supposed to be watching the president the former president well and this guy was 300 400 yards away is wow the sheriff got the press conference because they asked that too like this is the second time he said they did what they were supposed to do no they didn't yeah they they acted swiftly that's what they said in the press conference yeah and it is important to note that the detail that you know former presidents have is not the same of that as current sitting
Starting point is 00:10:16 presidents so i mean that's to note well trump did send a fundraiser email or email through his fundraising site uh saying that he is safe well. He will never surrender and nothing will slow him down. President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, they also are relieved to know that Trump is doing OK after the shooting or excuse me, shots rang out. No one was actually shot. A statement issued by the White House and Biden and Harris say that Biden and Harris have been briefed on the incident and they will be updated as the situation develops. Now, switching gears, the rumors about Haitian immigrants eating cats and dogs are distracting voters from the real issues in this year's election. That's what Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said while speaking to NBC News' Meet the Press. Let's hear more from the Transpose Sec. Donald Trump and J.D. Vance cannot afford
Starting point is 00:11:05 for this campaign to be about things like how Donald Trump eliminated the right to choose and continues to leave the door open to signing a national abortion ban. They need to get us talking about something else. The crazier, the better. And they go for something that is so outrageous that you actually can't ignore it.
Starting point is 00:11:25 Yeah. So it really be your own people, right? Apparently, Republican Ohio Governor Mike DeWine, he spoke to ABC News. Excuse me. He spoke to ABC this week saying the rumors about Haitian migrants eating pets in Springfield are not true. And he urged the Trump campaign to stop and focus on the issues that actually affect American voters. Let's hear more from Governor Mike DeWine out of Ohio. What's going on in Springfield is just fundamentally different. These people are here legally. They came to work.
Starting point is 00:11:54 Look, there's a lot of garbage on the Internet. And, you know, this is a piece of garbage that was simply not true. There's no evidence of this at all. Well, J.D. Vance essentially said he made it up this weekend, but I'm sure we'll get to that later. But I agree with Secretary Pete. You know, that's what happens when you don't have a plan, when you have a concept of a plan.
Starting point is 00:12:17 So you have to result to just fear mongering. Right. All right. Yeah, I'm glad that Vance and Trump are going to please let up on this issue anyways. They must have forgot that Ohio is a swing state with a Republican governor. But, yeah, I'm not going to get too much into that. So stick around at this for the seven o'clock hour. We'll recap VP Harris's comments from the CBC Phoenix Awards Gala. And I'll recap the White House Black Excellence Brunch. Yeah, we had we had a time. So, yes it's the ground. Alright. And everybody else, get it off your

I seen something that they did before they were talking with Young Jock and they said sometimes you can just grab women by the so and so if you got a lot of money. I seen a clip going viral.

Starting point is 00:17:29 We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? Hey, this is Renaja from Columbus. Good morning, y'all. Good morning. Get it off your chest. So, a couple things. The first thing is, Trump ruined my NFL Sunday yesterday, and I'm not feeling that.
Starting point is 00:17:44 Oh, because they started preempting it To talk about the assassination attempt Yo so I'm sitting here Watching the game with my boo I think it was the Kansas City game And like I think it goes to halftime or whatever And then it's like oh Quick report
Starting point is 00:17:58 I'm like what? How many niggas is he gonna pay To keep trying to shoot at him So he can win this election for us? You really think that's what's going on? Damn, they hit the bed in the head. Nah, I'm just playing. Yeah, I'm saying, like, I can't believe nobody's investigating the Swifties.
Starting point is 00:18:16 What? This man tweeted out yesterday morning, I hate Taylor Swift. And then hours later, he gets shot at and nobody thinks it's any type of connection. Why? Because it's Taylor Swift and it's later he gets shot at and nobody thinks it's any type of connection? Why? Because it's Taylor Swift and it's the Swifties? I will say it is pretty interesting that they had the job. No, because how they keep getting a drop on him. It had to be somebody powerful to get that drop
Starting point is 00:18:33 on him like that. Not really. I still think the Secret Service cares. CNN said that even some of his close staffers don't know his golfing schedule. Well, they said he goes and golfs every Sunday when he's off. He's usually there in the morning golfing and he usually has lunch there. Yeah, I never heard about them not knowing his golfing schedule. Well, they said he goes and golfs every Sunday when he's off. He's usually there in the morning golfing and he usually has lunch there. Yeah, I never heard about them not knowing his golfing schedule. I thought they always knew he was going to golf.
Starting point is 00:18:50 They said that more recently they haven't been giving it out because they're trying to. I guess it's a part of the new protocol since the first assassination. Nah, they said he does it every Sunday. He usually goes to one of his three golfing places. He plays golf in the morning. I don't know, Charlotte. I don't think it's the Swifties. I don't think the Menis Brigade
Starting point is 00:19:06 got that far. I will say, though, we have no room for political violence in our country, right? On nobody at all. But I will say there is something
Starting point is 00:19:16 to the fact that... I forgot my train of thought. That must mean God knew I was about to say something. It was right there. I literally... God knew I was about to say something. I ain't got. I literally, God knew I was about to say something. I ain't got no business.
Starting point is 00:19:26 Get it off your chest. I'm just going to leave it at that. We have no room for political violence in our country. 800-585-1051. Now, we got Jess with the mess with La Rosa coming up. We do. We're going to kick off on a little bit of a sad note, but we will come up a bit afterward. Tito Jackson passed away, so we are going to get into that and send the rest of the
Starting point is 00:19:44 peace to him. All right. We'll talk about that when we come back it's the Breakfast Club good morning the Breakfast Club morning everybody is DJ envy Jess hilarious Charlamagne the guy we are the Breakfast Club let's get to just with the mess with Lauren LaRosa Lauren's Jessica Robin Moore. Jets don't do no lie. She don't spare nobody. Worldwide Jets. Worldwide Mets. On The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:20:13 The culture show. With Lauren, Lauren LaRosa. I'm back. And I got the Mets. Talk to me. Sending a rest in peace to Tito Jackson. Tito Jackson's official Instagram account posted five hours ago as of right now at 6.52 a.m. It is with heavy hearts that we announce that our beloved father, rock and roll hall of famer, Tito Jackson is no longer with us. We are shocked, saddened and heartbroken.
Starting point is 00:20:41 Our father was an incredible man who cared about everyone and their well-being. Some of you may know him as Tito Jackson from the legendary Jackson 5. Some of you may know him as Coach Tito or some of you may know him as Papa T.
Starting point is 00:20:51 Nevertheless, he will be missed tremendously. It will forever be Tito time for us. Please remember to do what our father always preached that is love one another. We love you.
Starting point is 00:21:00 It was signed by his boys Taj, Terrell, and TJ. Best of peace to Tito Jackson. Yeah. I saw reports that it was signed by his boys taj terrell and tj um peace to tito jackson yeah i saw reports that it was a heart attack um but nothing i've confirmed myself but i did see reports that it was a heart attack he was 70 years old right 70 years old 70 years old yes rest in peace um yep now moving on uh donald trump over the weekend i don't know taylor swift came out and endorsed uh kamala i don't know why like donald Trump just randomly, because it wasn't even timely with the endorsement. He randomly came out and decided to rage war with him and the Swifties. It was perfect. What are you talking about?
Starting point is 00:21:35 You think it was perfect? Sunday morning when the Chiefs are going to be on TV and he know that they're going to flash to Taylor Swift every single second of the day? The only reason I knew that they were playing was because my timeline kept showing her showing up. So, okay, yeah. Because at first, I'm like, he's so late on this anger.
Starting point is 00:21:50 Like, why? He just woke up angry, but it does make sense. Sunday morning, NFL football. Yeah, and she was looking cute, too. So, that's a good
Starting point is 00:21:56 shout out to her. She just had a jersey on. It was an oversized jersey. It was oversized. It was cute. She had a lip on. She was giving a little vibe every day
Starting point is 00:22:03 and give her something. Okay. Y'all love to hate her in this room. But talk about how the Swifties shot at him later on that day. I do not know that to be true. Oh. The assassination attempt did happen later on in that day, the second assassination attempt. You don't think he was a Swifty?
Starting point is 00:22:17 You don't think there's no correlation? I don't know, but I feel like if so, they would have found the best friend's bracelets in all the woods. He didn't look like a Swifty. All I know is if a rapper would have tweeted out something like that, and then shots got fired later on, they'd be connecting the dots. He didn't look like a Swifty, sir. You think they would have had to call somebody up if it was a rapper that did it? I don't think so.
Starting point is 00:22:39 I don't know. Maybe, look. Maybe the Secret Service did it. He didn't look like a Swifty. You never know. He wasn't shaking at all. Flavor Flav is a Swifty. That caught me by surprise. So, yeah, he tweeted out, I hate Taylor Swift, which in all caps. So he was very upset about that. But what I thought was interesting was, you know who came to Taylor Swift's defense?
Starting point is 00:22:55 Who? Scooter Braun. Okay. Y'all remember all the back and forth that was happening between Taylor Swift and Scooter Braun because he brought her catalog and she made it a whole thing and the Swifties hated him. He came out in her defense
Starting point is 00:23:06 basically saying like why are you so upset? It's Kamala like we're all going for Kamala this year. Don't be too mad
Starting point is 00:23:11 at my girl. So I thought that was interesting and another Trump news. Also I think that Trump is trying to create an environment
Starting point is 00:23:17 around Taylor Swift to where she gets harassed so much that other celebrities won't feel comfortable endorsing the vice president because they don't want the problems.
Starting point is 00:23:25 He look he stir up a lot of people's bases but Taylor Swift's base they so strong for her I feel like they don't even even if they don't agree with the Kamala Harris endorsement they love her so much I don't think it's gonna matter I don't think it's gonna work. Which is exactly why you shouldn't rule out. As a kid I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going.
Starting point is 00:24:14 This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best. And you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing.

Starting point is 00:30:12 He just came up and did what he had to do. But that goes to show... You know when Sleepy Hollow and Chef G endorsed Trump, and people were like, oh my God. People were upset. I'm like, these artists don't really... Trump don't be really knowing or caring about these artists yeah they just connect with who's hot and whatever market he's in they should have told him though they should have said nikki jams is a man you know
Starting point is 00:30:32 i mean so he wouldn't go up there and be like she's hot like if biden had done this though it would have been a whole thing like this was it was cute when people moved on but if biden had done it they would have been like put him in a he needs a wheelchair he needs to be in the nursing home i feel the same way about trump and they're not even trying no more i feel like trump has no idea where he's at and like i keep telling y'all over and over he does not want to do this anymore that's what that's when you just don't give a damn no more okay he's playing in our face every day and he don't care because we don't care and nicky jams i can't believe he still came up there after trump did that he didn't say anything like, you know.
Starting point is 00:31:05 What would you do, though? I wouldn't go on stage. That man has no idea who you are. He was already on stage. He was literally, like, right there walking up at that point. So now you just don't show. Like, you have to. He said, thank you, Mr. President.
Starting point is 00:31:15 That's all he said. Imagine sleeping with a man and he doesn't even know your name, Lauren. Like, he calls you a different name as soon as y'all done. Has that happened before? No, but not after y'all done. Before y'all even about to do it. Before y'all even about to do it. See, calling me a different name as soon as y'all done. Has that happened to you before? No, but not after y'all done. Before y'all even about to do it. Before y'all even about to do it. See, calling me a different name is, yeah, no.

Starting point is 00:31:48 I mean, you don't never get arrested. You look so guilty. I'm not saying that. And everybody will pay a second hand. Everybody will pay a second hand like, nah, that ain't it.

Starting point is 00:32:36 Because you already got people thinking that I don't shave and that I'm sitting in my house in a dark and lonely corner. Well, you didn't shave one day and you came in here with hairy underarms. That was true. I didn't make that up. I look like J.D. Vance to you? Yo. I didn't just make that story up. I want y'all to understand everything that this man does up here is diabolical. Don't come up to me giving me an underarm check.
Starting point is 00:32:56 The next person who tries to give me an underarm check, I'm going to hit you. I wear long sleeves. Short sleeves. Well, it's about to be winter, so it's okay to have a pair. The summer was crazy long. There was no need to have handy arms in the summer. All right. Well, that is just what's the mess with Lauren LaRosa.
Starting point is 00:33:09 Now, when we come back, we got front page news with Morgan and Money Long will be joining us. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Lauren LaRosa's filling in for Jess, and let's get in some front page news. I was going to give you guys the NFL scores really fast.
Starting point is 00:33:26 Seahawks beat the Patriots 23-20. Commanders beat the Giants 21-18. The Saints washed the Cowboys 44-19. Chargers beat the Panthers 26-3. Packers beat the Colts. Browns beat the Jaguars. Buccaneers beat the Lions. Jets beat the Titans.
Starting point is 00:33:40 Raiders beat the Ravens. Cardinals beat the Rams 41-10. The Steelers beat the Broncos 13-6. The Chiefs beat the Bengals 26-25. The Texinals beat the Rams 41-10. Steelers beat the Broncos 13-6. The Chiefs beat the Bengals 26-25. The Texans beat the Bears 19-13. And then Monday Night Football, the Eagles take on the Falcons tonight at 8-15. And the Commanders beat the Giants 21-18. The Giants have not won a game all season.
Starting point is 00:33:58 So I feel like if you're a Giants fan, you should not talk about any other team washing any other team. You're 0-2. You got a butthole. You're a butthole. We don't want to team washing any other team. You're 0-2. You got a butthole. Okay? You're a butthole. We don't want to come at you like that. You're buttholing 2 for the year. Or come at your butthole.
Starting point is 00:34:11 We got a little butthole right now. But it's all right. Oh, man. Morgan, I know you're not talking. You 0-2 too. Hey, hey, hey. Hey, not too much. Okay?
Starting point is 00:34:19 Anyways, that's a wrap for the Congressional Black Caucus's 53rd Annual Legislative Conference in Washington, D.C. On Friday, I attended the Black Excellence Brunch on the South Lawn of the White House. Shout out to Trell Thomas, who created the Black Excellence Brunch back in 2018. But it was the first time that it was actually held at the White House and people came dressed in all white. It was a time ahead of the President Biden's remarks. I spoke exclusively with David Banner and he shared his message to young voters or voters across the board.
Starting point is 00:34:49 Let's hear from Banner. If black people as a whole don't agree with what we want, the Chesa Cat in Alice in Wonderland says something so powerful. If you don't know where you wanna go, any road to do. So what is the agenda? What are we holding any of these candidates to? You know, I chose to not talk about politics because I really don't think black people want to hear my opinion about politics in America as it pertains to black people. This is not a church gathering.
Starting point is 00:35:20 This is not friendship. If you do not get anything out of your black vote, then you have been doomed. I also had the opportunity to speak exclusively with Karen Civil, who urged voters to do their research. Let's hear more from Civil. This election, more than anything, it's really important to do your own research, to see who you want to vote for, who makes sense. Because right now there's so much propaganda out there, and it sucks that even people who are leading platforms are misinforming us and leading it in certain ways. So more than ever, it's important to do your own research. Turn on that TV.
Starting point is 00:35:53 Watch, you know, watch these debates. See what they have to say. And make sure that you show up to the polls. It's really important to do justice to your own community. I agree with David Banner. The only thing I would say is that black people aren't monolithic. So, you know, when you talk about black people coming together as a group, that's going to be hard to do just because, you know,
Starting point is 00:36:11 everybody got different interests. Everybody got different issues that, you know, they want to see addressed. And as far as what Karen Civil was saying, the do your research thing, I agree with that when it's a normal election. You know what I mean? Like when you have, we keep treating, you know and when it's when it's a normal election you know what i mean like when you have we keep treating you know donald trump like he's a normal candidate and that has been the problem you know the problem is the media and everybody treats him like he's a normal candidate you do your research when you have two normal candidates we still have to do your research you got to do more research with him what is that a research what do you mean
Starting point is 00:36:44 he's been impeached twice right okay he let him attempt to cool his country right like what more But you still have to do your research. You got to do more research with him. What is there to research? What do you mean? He's been impeached twice. Right. Okay, he let an attempted coup in his country. Right. Like, what more is there to research? He had 90-plus criminal charges, convicted of 34. Like, what is there to research?
Starting point is 00:36:59 DJ has said Trump might as well had gotten to it with the boy because at least he stopped shooting. Talking about Drake. Damn. Jesus Christ. He put three people on the Supreme Court that overturned Roe v. Wade and have made it to where we have less civil rights now than we did when I was born in 1978. I mean, I guess you should do your research. You got to do your research. Maybe you don't know all of that stuff.
Starting point is 00:37:16 I don't know. No, all people know is a stimulus check that they think they got from him, which is not true. Which is not true. They did get it from him, though. We got to stop saying that. Like, yes, Congress voted for it, but he still signed it in as president. Yes, but that's it's not fair. That's the case.
Starting point is 00:37:28 Nobody gives the Congress credit for Obamacare. They say that's Obamacare. So, like, presidents get the good. They get the credit for the good. They get credit for the bad. You got to give them the credit. All right. So she did not attend that actual event.
Starting point is 00:37:41 The White House Black Excellence brunch on Friday. She was in Pennsylvania for a rally. And as you mentioned earlier, the interview, President Biden, however, he did address the crowd saying his administration, under his administration, black unemployment, the rate has been the lowest on record and more black Americans have health care than ever before. Let's hear from Biden. I've been vice president of the first black president in American history. A president to the first black vice president. And God willing, the first female black president in American history. They have to stop letting him speak.
Starting point is 00:38:12 Y'all be fake cheering. Y'all got to stop. Stop propping Joe Biden up there. He's still a person. Let him spend his last 50 days cool. I was wondering if he had a MAGA hat on. Did he have a MAGA hat on? No, he didn't have a MAGA hat on. Did he have a MAGA hat on? No, he didn't have a MAGA hat on.
Starting point is 00:38:26 So on Saturday, Biden also spoke at the CBC Phoenix Awards dinner saying its members are in a battle for the soul of the nation. VP Harris, she also spoke at CBC's Phoenix Awards dinner saying when the CBC fights, we win. Let's hear more from VP Harris' speech at the awards dinner. While we move and fight to move our nation forward toward a brighter future, Donald Trump and his extremist allies intend to take our nation backward. They will give tax breaks to billionaires and big corporations, cut Social Security and Medicare, and end the Affordable Care Act, which the CBC fought so hard to pass. But we are not going back.
Starting point is 00:39:16 VP Harris also used her time to thank members of the Congressional Black Caucus for their efforts to register voters. And of course, her remarks can't come just days ahead. Tuesday's tomorrow's National Voter Registration Day. Harris will be in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on Tuesday to sit for an interview with the NABJ, National Association of Black Journalists at W.H.Y.Y. So, yeah. And of course, the NABJ has also interviewed former President Trump in Chicago last month. So she is the uh her uh campaign has released statements saying that they are going to start talking to journalists and media more well she when she when she does that i encourage the vice president to just really be herself and
Starting point is 00:39:59 trust herself because like that caller called earlier and said like people are watching her so much. We know the script now. Like, we know the script. We know the story she's going to tell. You can't do that. Like, you know, go and sit down with, you know, different people where you can just have nice, loose, cool conversations.
Starting point is 00:40:16 She's dope. She can do that. All right. Yeah, that's your front page news. You can follow me on social at Morgan Media. I have more audio from that White House Excellence Brunch. I talked to a lot of people that day, so you guys can check me out on socials at Morgan Media, M-O-R-G-Y-N-M-E-D-I-A.
Starting point is 00:40:32 And I'll be releasing those interviews over the next course of days. Follow the Black Information Network for more news coverage and download the free iHeartRadio app at BINews.com. Thank you, Morgan. Alright, now when we come back, Money Long will be joining us.

My routine is all over the place. And one thing I do make sure I do is wash my face every night. And just kind of like. The makeup and depress.
Starting point is 00:41:47 Decompress. Sometimes I have to, I don't know if this is a word, but like de-stimulate. Like if I'm over-stimulated throughout the day, I come home. I just don't want to talk to anyone. Nobody talks about that enough, over-stimulation, because we're sitting around with these phones all day. And between text messages and phone calls and social media, you're constantly you're constantly constantly constantly stimulated it's more like in the physical world so like sometimes you go in these spaces they're dusty you know my allergies a lot of these buildings but yo i don't understand are we all right no i'm good i'm good i can breathe clearly

But I think, like, I have a really great makeup artist and glam team. Give God some credit, Money Long. Glow by God. Give God some credit now. Shout out to Jesus. There you go.
Starting point is 00:43:04 But no, like, I actually look like my pictures when I show up. So I think that's surprising for a lot of people. I used to get offended, though. I'm not going to lie. They used to be like, what you mean? Like, you so pretty in person. Was I ugly? I felt that before.
Starting point is 00:43:18 You know? But no, no, I understand what they're saying. I actually look like my picture. I also didn't have a self-concept until like six or seven years ago what does that mean i didn't understand how people perceive me but i didn't i didn't know that that was a thing but you're doing you basically they have um a concept of like dark skin light skin like none of that wow pretty ugly that's a great space to be yeah no I'm lucky in that regard where like I never had any confidence issues maybe like
Starting point is 00:43:50 some weight fluctuation like oh I wish I was skinny but then like last time I was here I was like super skinny now I've been that and now I'm just like yeah nah it's not comfortable like everything hurts you know I'm saying like sitting in a chair when you don't got no ass. Well, I don't know what you mean because we dragging over here. I don't know. Yeah, you know, I got a little wagon these days.
Starting point is 00:44:08 You know what I'm saying? Why? Because it's a thing. Like, you know, I know what you're saying. Why you just started to lie when Money Long came in? She don't got a wagon?
Starting point is 00:44:16 I do got a wagon. She said she got a wagon. I've never looked. I don't know. Well, the out revenge. Who are you getting revenge on, Money Long? Anybody.
Starting point is 00:44:24 Whoever slept on me. Whoever tried me. Whoever tried to stop forward motion. I think the best revenge is seeing me everywhere. I know I make you itch. Is that for anybody or is that for somebody in particular that you know people try to itch on you? Oh, yeah. A lot of people.
Starting point is 00:44:38 You know, I've been around for a long time. I helped a lot of people. With that pen of yours? Yeah, just like showing up, helping. I mean, I don't just write songs. Like, I come up with, like, the theme and the treatment. And, you know, a lot of times those ideas get taken and you don't get compensated for that. I think that just comes with being a creative.
Starting point is 00:44:54 Like, I'm an all-around creative, so I can't help but share my point of view. Yeah. Why did this body of work make you use that title? Like, what about these 14 songs made you say, I'm going to name gonna name this revenge so that was the last song that we did on the album um one day saran thomas from rock city who's written like so many hits in the last i don't know five years and then um the dream was there he just came they just came to say hello and i looked around the room i was like we got tricky the dream me saran thomas andukaro, who does my vocal producing. And I was like, there's no way I'm about to let y'all walk up out of here and not get a song.
Starting point is 00:45:29 Like, this is crazy. So we was talking about relationships and, you know, Dream, he liked to argue. So he was talking about just like the male versus female dynamic, how women are like bitter sometimes when they don't get their way, blah, blah, blah. And sorry if I'm messing that up, Dream. I'm just paraphrasing So I started talking about Just like I just don't want to Expand my energy That I could be putting into Accomplishing my goals By engaging Right
Starting point is 00:45:51 In your Whatever it is Like your drama Your A lot of times people want you To do the emotional labor For them Like oh you made me
Starting point is 00:45:58 Feel like this Okay I apologize It won't happen again But I'm also not gonna sit here And lie to you and tell you that i'm gonna change anything to make you feel better that's your work you have to do that and so i don't want revenge i'm just gonna continue growing and developing as a human
Starting point is 00:46:14 being glowing up and that is the best revenge or the best get back i've got time for all the petty stuff i know you um you talked on the cruise show a bit about this and you revealed there that you and your uh i guess it's estranged husband. I don't know what the title would be. You guys had separated and it was kind of similar. Like you said, you just were tired of dealing with like drama and people not being happy and things of that nature. How much of that went into this album? And like, how much of it do we feel when we listen to these songs?
Starting point is 00:46:41 This is the first time as an artist that I actually was writing things that were straight from my brain like a diary yeah before it was like living vicariously or hearing a story from one of my friends and it actually was very scary because i don't like people in my business and i also understand that like if you watch that whole interview i was very specific with what i said i didn't say any of the words that were in the headlines divorce i did not say that yeah but you also left the door open too because you said you know things can change he can work on himself and maybe things could change in the in the future you still feel that way and have y'all worked on it at all who is y'all okay maybe not has he worked on himself then i should say i don't know i no idea. The only way you know is results.
Starting point is 00:47:25 Every day, you just choose a better action than the day before. Like, you make adjustments. That's why I say the best apology is change the behavior. Exactly. Yeah, so, like, the only way I will know that you won't hurt me is if you don't. The only way I know that you are going to do what you say is if you do it. Yeah. You know, actions versus words.
Starting point is 00:47:44 And that's for anyone like i said my own mama my granny like the only person who won't get that kind of um attitude from me would be my child you know i'm saying it's my responsibility to help him grow um into a wonderful human to operate at his highest level on this planet. Everybody else, that's on you. And eventually, even him one day, I'm gonna have to let him

Do you feel like a person can really ruin you?
Starting point is 00:48:48 It depends on like... As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going.
Starting point is 00:49:22 This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best. And you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing.

Starting point is 00:50:23 Historical Records brings history to life through hip-hop. Flash, slam, another one gone. Bash, bam, another one gone. The crack of the bat and another one gone. The tip of the cap is another one gone. Each episode is about a different inspiring figure from history, like this one about Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old girl in Alabama who refused to give up her seat on the city bus nine whole months before Rosa Parks did the
Starting point is 00:50:50 same thing. Check it. Get the kids in your life excited about history by tuning in to Historical Records. Because in order to make history, you have to make some noise. Listen to Historical Records on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey guys, I'm Kate Max. You might know me from my popular online series, The Running Interview Show, where I run with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, and more. After those runs,
Starting point is 00:51:32 the conversations keep going. That's what my podcast, Post Run High, is all about. It's a chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper into their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together. You know that rush of endorphins you feel after a great workout? Well, that's when the real magic happens. So if you love hearing real, inspiring stories from the people you know, follow, and admire, join me every week for Post Run High. It's where we take the conversation beyond the run and get into the heart of it all.
Starting point is 00:52:09 It's lighthearted, pretty crazy, and very fun. Listen to Post Run High on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist who on October 16, 2017, was murdered. There are crooks everywhere you look now. The situation is desperate. My name is Manuel Delia. I am one of the hosts of Crooks Everywhere, a podcast that unhurts the plot to murder a one-woman WikiLeaks. Daphne exposed the culture of crime and corruption that were turning her beloved country into a mafia state.
Starting point is 00:52:51 And she paid the ultimate price. Listen to Crooks Everywhere on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. On Thanksgiving Day, 1999, a five-year-old boy floated alone in the ocean. He had lost his mother trying to reach Florida from Cuba. He looked like a little angel. I mean, he looked so fresh. And his name, Elian Gonzalez,
Starting point is 00:53:28 will make headlines everywhere. Elian Gonzalez. Elian Gonzalez. Elian. Elian. Elian Gonzalez. At the heart of the story is a young boy and the question
Starting point is 00:53:37 of who he belongs with. His father in Cuba. Mr. Gonzalez wanted to go home and he wanted to take his son with him. Or his relatives in Miami. Mr. Gonzalez wanted to go home and he wanted to take his son with him. Or his relatives in Miami. Imagine that your mother died trying to get you to freedom. At the heart of it all is still this painful family separation.
Starting point is 00:53:56 Something that as a Cuban, I know all too well. Listen to Chess Peace, the Elian Gonzalez story, as part of the My Cultura podcast network, available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Their interpretation of the record, I think that when I say it, I'm saying that most guys, and I'm not an expert, I'm not saying all men, but it's always a man. They want a dummy. They want a dummy. They want a dummy.
Starting point is 00:54:26 They want someone who will not question them, will not. I think that's what they mean by submissive. You want to be able to continue moving through life undeveloped, unmotivated, un-whatever. You don't want someone to challenge you and push you. And so a lot of times guys won't change they'll just go find someone who will accept their negative or poor choices uh i think we gotta put a sum in front of men and guys some men some guys well no i said it's not all men yeah but it's always a man you know again when i say you ruin me i'm wise now i do
Starting point is 00:55:04 not believe you when you say oh i love so much, but your actions are doing something else. So you ruined me for everybody else because now I'm watching. You know what I'm saying? It's no more like blind, falling in love, loving your dirty draws. Like, I love myself and you can support that. And I will allow myself to be in your space and you can experience me loving myself like you got to meet me where I'm at yeah let me move that's my job to love me ain't my job to that is a fact give that to you and by me loving me it will pour over onto you and you will feel love
Starting point is 00:55:37 that's the fact you know I'm saying that's what I mean it's not about to be no I'm dropping everything every time I'm cooking I'm cleaning i'm i was gonna say does that make it tough for you when you think about trying to move forward and possibly dating but this is all new like are you even in that space yet where you're even exploring other men i'm sorry i'm tired of everybody if i don't really like people no um i will say that i'm just really i'm understanding like the game you know i'm saying like there's different games being played so like there's the relationship game the marriage game the career game the frequency game like and i'm just focused
Starting point is 00:56:20 on like getting my foundation right and getting everything together so that any game i decide to go play good i'm straight you know i'm saying i think that as women sometimes we get distracted by relationships and we start putting everything into us i'm not saying no anybody who's coming in making me feel unsure about anything or disturbing my peace you gotta go you gotta go down to a mosquito or a fly like i just don't have time how do you know that you're not becoming what you hate meaning like i don't hate anything i'm saying if you're upset about something or a relationship or hurt about something that happened in a relationship how do you know you're not projecting that onto other people uh i think i've reached a level of self-awareness where i'm always asking questions and I'm still in a very
Starting point is 00:57:05 much in like a discovery exploration childlike like maybe there's something here that I don't understand what is this right but you know and I'm always inquiring for like even when I get pissed like it happened last night somebody did something I like but you know it's like I'll be like are you okay you need something you thirsty who you here with like I'll trying to figure out. Because you got to be out your mind. You not talking to me. What did they do to piss you off? Some girl, like, walked past and was like, she wasn't looking at anyone. And she just was like, oh, have a good night.
Starting point is 00:57:37 Meanwhile, I'm trying to get a table. We went to Last Lap. Okay. You know, some restaurant. You know, they got, like, three three tables in there i'm trying to eat i'm hungry i'm cold i'm tired uh she told you have a good night she said she said it out in the and that pissed you ether no oh but when she kept walking past she and you know i could feel energy she said i guess not oh but it was like directed at me now
Starting point is 00:58:08 because you ain't said nothing back to her but i'm on my phone i'm trying to like maybe i could get a burger like y'all take it too long i'm hungry um and i turned around and i looked at my friend and he started laughing he was like your friend don't do it i was like she can't be talking to me i know she's not talking to me I don't like that kind of stuff. Because to me, that says that you think you could beat me up. Oh, my goodness. That was very regal, very Tamora. That was very regal. You think you could beat me up.
Starting point is 00:58:34 Yo, I'm feeling the same way. Don't talk like that. Nah, you're bullying me. I don't like that. You beat me up, huh? I don't like it. So what did you say in response? No, she was walking out.
Starting point is 00:58:43 I said, she can't be talking to me. I know she not. And they just kept walking. I think they was like, ooh? No, she was walking out. I said, she can't be talking to me. I know she not. And they just kept walking. Like, I think they was like, ooh, yeah, don't do that. Because I'm very nice. I'm quiet. Like, you know, people have like a perception of me. I will beat you up.
Starting point is 00:58:53 Like, don't do that. Because when did you look at me? What are you talking to me? That's crazy. When's the last time you got into a fight? Because you said you could still fight. When's the last time you fought? I don't fight no more.
Starting point is 00:59:01 I'm too rich for that now. You know what I'm saying? But I never lost one. Actually, you know, my first fight I lost, but I used to be f***ed. I do. Because I feel,
Starting point is 00:59:14 it's like you don't want to fight, you don't want to fight someone who is afraid. You know what I'm saying? Because you don't know what they're going to do. I'm always scared to get hit, so I'm going to make sure
Starting point is 00:59:22 you can't hit me. Never lost. But don't be not fighting anyone. don't be taking it as a challenge you're gonna go to jail i'm gonna call those people you have a you have a song called 30s how much have you learned from your 30s i have learned over the last 10 years because i started my self-reflection and like um internal journey at 26 so over the last 10 i have learned that everybody's on their own individual course and that you cannot interfere with free will so no matter how much i might want something for you who am i to take that from you that lesson or that opportunity to grow
Starting point is 00:59:58 and learn because you can choose to learn through joy you don't have to learn through drama and trauma right but most of the time people are not motivated to change anything until stuff gets very uncomfortable. And so I've learned to just, like, relax and be like, yeah, we got all ten fingers and toes. We breathing. That's right. You know what I'm saying? Grateful. Gratitude.
Starting point is 01:00:19 Yeah, gratitude. But also just, like, a deep understanding and, like, lack of, like, I'm not afraid of anything anymore, you know? Yeah. Not afraid to lose people. I understand, like, it's probably going to hurt. Yeah. On 30s, it sounds like you're singing about the fear of being alone. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 01:00:33 Yeah. So that's a fear, right? No. Oh, that's the suspicion. Not for me. Like, I don't want that. Okay. I don't want to be alone, like, with no companionship.
Starting point is 01:00:42 That doesn't necessarily mean relationship. Mm-hmm. That could just mean, like, you know, if I feel feel like i look cute sometimes i might want to talk to somebody and be like tell me i'm pretty like do you ever look back because you spent from 25 to now 35 married and you guys are figuring out whatever is going to happen next or not that you spent so much of your time being married that it's like figuring out this new world by yourself is like it's just like a space it's going to be so new that it's like something that maybe you are not ready to jump into or you don't know how to jump into it like you don't know how to navigate it
Starting point is 01:01:12 um because it's like a new like you've always been in um in a marriage you never been single yeah like you never been single now yeah we really it's really hard to talk about because i don't really know like what like y'all are separated Because she didn't say the D word Yeah divorce didn't come out your mouth You know One thing I'll say about this And I know a lot of people Are going to want to ask me
Starting point is 01:01:30 They're going to want to know But I know that my words Are very powerful And I have what I say So I just want to be careful About what I say Because I don't want to Draw things to me
Starting point is 01:01:38 I love that for you You know what I'm saying When I say somebody's name They appear So I don't want to You know what I mean I got you Alright we got more With Money Law When we come back Let's get into a joint When I say somebody's name, they appear. So I don't want to. You know what I mean? I got you.
Starting point is 01:01:48 All right, we got more with Money Long when we come back. Let's get into a joint off the album. It's called Ruin Me, and it's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. That was Ruin Me, Money Long. Morning, everybody. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Money Long.
Starting point is 01:02:00 Now, listening to the album, what made you so cold? I'm not cold. I'm just focused on me. That's it. I think i'm de-centered men and de-centered relationships and what the world teaches you your role is as a woman i'm just here to have fun to experience the best that life has to offer and i will share it with who i want to not because i feel like i need to be with nah also too like what guy can handle this you know was that a part of it because he was your husband you guys have done so much together industry-wise in this
Starting point is 01:02:32 like yeah i mean yeah it seems like it every time looks yeah but also too how you used to talk about him like i know you talked about like y'all working on the label together and like he helped produce some of your songs correct right so it just it seemed like sometimes as a wife you just want to say things to help encourage things to go in a certain direction and affirm and motivate gently proud but that doesn't always mean that it's connecting wow and why you think a man can't handle you the same way you're talking about you know you don't want to talk about no i didn't say me i said this all of the stuff that comes with being money long plenty of guys there's guys you you, you don't want to talk about. No, I didn't say me. I said this. All of the stuff that comes with being money long. Plenty of guys.
Starting point is 01:03:07 There's guys, unless you don't want an industry guy. There's guys that know exactly what you're dealing with. As a woman, I understand why industry men behave the way they behave. I would never date one. So easy. You have whatever you want, get whatever you want, sleep with whoever you want. You're not about to play in my face. Are you picking up that pen while you're going through all of this because i'm always writing okay because
Starting point is 01:03:28 some fire music can come from this my god i'm sorry that you're going through whatever you're going through but lord have mercy i know you're making some fire records uh i haven't been in the studio but i probably again i get what i say okay so i want to make sure I'm saying things that I want to appear versus catch it you know I'm so mad I'm not I wake up every day so happy like I've surrounded myself with the most wonderful warm funny like me and my friend group are hilarious that's neat it yeah so like it's just so fun like you know we have our own little inside jokes I laugh through the pain like you know I'm saying?
Starting point is 01:04:07 Like, I'll pick up something, like a pickle, and I'll be like, everything reminds me of you. You know, just like so funny. What kind of pickle? Depends. Sometimes it's a big pickle. Sometimes it's a little big. I want every pickle to remind me of you now. What size is the pickle?
Starting point is 01:04:22 Hey, yo. Nope. Hey, yo, what size is the pickle? Hey, yo. Nope. Hey, yo. What size is the pickle? Story of my life. When you talk about your words and your pen being powerful, do you ever feel like some of your songs might be too open and too honest? Like you might be putting too much out there?
Starting point is 01:04:38 No. You know, it's this weird thing that I have this effect on people where even in real life, I'm only telling you what I want you to know there's so much but a lot of times people really think they know me like they feel like oh that's my that's my home girl that's my friend I'll be like I talked to this one time like what that's crazy you don't know me like that like if I actually like you I talk to you I open up but if I don't know you or if I don't feel safe around you I know how to make people feel welcome and warm and cared about.
Starting point is 01:05:06 And I think sometimes people mistake that for like actual care and concern. Superpowers. What are your superpowers? My superpower is detachment. Like it really is. Now, in reference to the song, what I'm talking about is like, I get what I say. And every aspect of my life, I'm super successful. Why not here in this you know
Starting point is 01:05:26 in this what relationship or yeah yeah why can this not and that doesn't just mean romantically it could be family but why doesn't my power work in this area i really want this wow so i think so many people in relationships can relate to that a lot of people because you date potential sometimes and you see the potential before the other person does and you're like come on right yeah i don't i can't relate to that i don't know what that means if i like you i like you all that other stuff don't matter until you be like i'm cool and then i detach that you asked me my superpower poof you never existed i don't believe that you don't no i don't believe that at all not with your husband when you writing
Starting point is 01:06:05 stuff like every night i've been crying i can't fall asleep laying in the bed in my diamonds i still wear my ring why are you still wearing the ring huh why are you still wearing the ring not today but in this song okay but you said we were reading your diary so we take you at your word no that had nothing to do with y'all all right some things remember words are powerful so you're telling us you don't love that man no more um you're telling us you don't want to be with that man no more when you say love what do you mean love romantic love no or don't look at me girl i don't know i can't help you with this parenting love all of the above spinning the spit to death to us part love want to still be with you and have a family let's figure life out through better or worse love i don't know but you could fall out of love i don't know i'm very i'm
Starting point is 01:06:50 detached from you i don't know you're not you're acting so tough maybe you are i don't know i'm not but didn't we talk about this last time me being on the spectrum yes yes we did is there a reattachment that happens i don't i mean i don't know how that works when you're on the spectrum i don't know oh i think with, there's a safety and trust issue. Once that's violated. I read somewhere it takes two years to regain trust once it's broken. So just consistent behavior, which we talked about in the beginning. Depending on the person, it could take way longer than that.
Starting point is 01:07:19 Depending on how you is. Depending on what it is. But if I consistently come over to your house and every time i come your dog bites me put the dog up or i'm gonna assume that you are okay with that and you don't feel the need to keep me safe so i'm not gonna come back over here on the fun side of things you do have glow rilla on the album but she's the only feature why is she the only feature um first of all i feel like i don't really make songs that require that yeah i really want to stress the fact that like this project was a and r it wasn't like got you i'm just in the free in the studio freestyling making records like i wanted to have certain tones like
Starting point is 01:07:55 what don't i have here does this song need drums does it not i don't know you know um so we really thought about like who could be on my records and And it's not, I don't believe in that, just throwing an artist on a song just because they got 50 million monthly listeners. Right. You know what I'm saying? It doesn't make sense. I actually really like Glo. She's funny, super talented, and she's singing on there. So when I first heard it, I was like, oh, sing, Rilla.
Starting point is 01:08:19 I love this for me. Yeah, I don't make songs that, if anything, it would be like a duet, male-female. Right. But who would that be? There's not very many active R&B men. Who is there? I already have a song with Usher. I'm working on getting one with Chris, maybe.
Starting point is 01:08:37 I just came off tour with him. How was that? Fun. Yeah. Super fun. What did you learn on the 11.11 tour? I learned how to push my energy all the way to the top and to connect with everybody it was my first tour so like looking back at the footage
Starting point is 01:08:51 even now i'm just like wow i can see like the the greenness but when i was in it it's just like it was just new i gotta i gotta get up here like i gotta do it there was only one night where it wasn't that great and that's just because like the like, the first night in Atlanta, they was like, Girl, who is you? We came here to see Christopher. We do that, won't you? Really? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:09:12 Hours and hours and all the songs and all the... I mean, they always, in the last 15 minutes of my set... Got you. The arena light up. Everybody's singing. That's never gonna get old. But, like, all the songs in the middle that maybe some people know and some people don't that's where the work is it's like for me connecting with them and showing them who
Starting point is 01:09:30 i am talking to them uh showing my personality things like that so it was fun i learned a lot ladies and gentlemen money long money long joining us thank you so much for having me it's the breakfast club good morning morning everybody it cj envy jess hilarious charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club let's get to just with the mess with lauren la rosa your news is real whether it's lauren's jessica robin moore just don't do no lie she don't spare nobody worldwide just worldwide mess on the breakfast club she's a coach with lauren lauren la rosa so i know we talked about kamala earlier this morning and um her speaking um over the weekend but there were other reports about what she was wearing over the weekend as well, too. And this was a big deal. She was in a black sequined dress.
Starting point is 01:10:27 And there were a few outlets that did reports on it. And they made mention of a designer. His name is Laquan Smith. So I wanted to take some time out. I reached out to Laquan's team. And Laquan Smith is an amazing designer. He's from New York. He's in the fashion scene, especially for black designers.
Starting point is 01:10:41 He's the go-to. Like, his show is the show you want to go to, Fashion Week. Did you go this year? I did not go go this year but he's always one of the big shows though um and she's worn his designs before but i thought that it was like so fire for her to re-platform him now that she is you know she's going to be our next president hopefully um but i reached out to him and i just asked him you know what what does this moment kind of mean for you and how did this come about because I know that she's big on supporting small businesses black-owned businesses and was that the reason why she doubled back to make sure she wore you in this moment um
Starting point is 01:11:13 and what he said to me was that Vice President um Harris has always been a supporter of support of Laquan Smith's brand and it's been such an honor to design her on multiple occasions he also talked about the fact that they have a shared understanding and mutual respect that comes from having a journey rooted in hard work resilience and creativity um he says as a black designer he really understands the challenges of navigating the industry he's in and he thinks that president vice president um harris understands the significance of representation and support for black-owned businesses it's always more than just fashion um for anybody that's designing but especially when you're a black designer, you're trying to build things like legacy community and you want to show other people what's possible when we support one another.
Starting point is 01:11:51 And I thought the legacy conversation was a great piece for him to add because it's tough when you're in a creative industry and if you're a small business, but if you're a small business in a creative industry, like a lot of those people don't get a lot of the benefits that someone with like a salary job does or just the support in general. And then you're putting money out to create, continue to create your art. So the fact that she's even, you know, leaning in as much as she is with a Laquan Smith, I thought that that spoke very well to who she is as a person, but also to the fashion moments I'm always here for. And it reminded me of like Michelle Obama always had a way about her where like she always knew and her team always knew which black designers to platform and who was coming up and who was popping so Kamala got some good fashion eyes on her and it wasn't a suit this time right it wasn't a suit so
Starting point is 01:12:33 it was a column sequin dress and that was something too that he talked about because he was saying that you know normally we do see her in like harder um more like kind of like almost masculine pantsuits um but he tried to structure the dress. It was a column dress. So he tried, if you look at it, he tried to structure it where it kind of still gave suit at the top, but it was a dress.
Starting point is 01:12:51 Okay. So yeah. Well, salute to that, brother. Yes. Shout out to him. He got a website or something? Laquan Smith is the brand. So you can just Google him.
Starting point is 01:12:58 He's everywhere. I'm sure he has a website. And he also does stuff right off the runway for people that are looking to pull for other talent. But now moving on to the Emmysys now the emmys um happened last night there were a lot of winners a lot of these winners i'm not even gonna lie to y'all y'all are not gonna recognize they don't be promoting the emmys no more like that right because i didn't even know it was on the emmys is huge i don't even know if you have to promote the emmys i was watching football no but i felt the same way though like it just popped up so i'm gonna go through some of the categories um so outstanding comedy series uh hacks one they won over abbott

Starting point is 01:14:09 show took home a lot um last night the Emmys and then Jodi as a kid I really do remember having these dreams and visions but you just don't know what is gonna to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself.
Starting point is 01:14:56 It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best. And you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Starting point is 01:18:55 Elian Gonzalez. At the heart of the story is a young boy and the question of who he belongs with. His father in Cuba. Mr. Gonzalez wanted to go home and he wanted to take his son with him. Or his relatives in Miami. Imagine that your mother died trying to get you to freedom.

Wouldn't you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, to say, get that son of a bitch off the field right now. Out. He's fired. He's fired. Please step up to the congregation.
Starting point is 01:24:41 Yes, you are a devil. When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best. They're bringing drugs're bringing crime they're rapists these are jackass yes donkey today for monday september 16th goes to a man who could potentially be vice president of the united states of america jd vance at some point we are going to have to realize that jd may stand for james david but it also might stand for just dumb may even stand for jackass donkey this guy is the weapon formed against donald trump if any pastor ever said to trump no weapon formed against you will prosper
Starting point is 01:25:17 i will scream by humbug and tell him look to his vice presidential running mate okay jd vance is the reason why i now understand why vice presidents are better off seen and not heard last time i saw a vp hurt a candidate like jd vance hurts trump and it's not like trump needs any help hurting himself her name was sarah palin but jd vance he makes sarah palin look like michelle obama now i'm going to give jd vance some credit he is on all these sunday morning news, unscripted, answering any questions they throw at him. I need to see more of that from Harrison Walls. It's one thing to do interviews, but you can't be resorting to all your talking points, Madam Vice President,
Starting point is 01:25:56 because all eyes are on you. And when folks hear you repeating some of the same stories over and over, it starts to feel like it's not authentic. So that is where J.D. Vance and him have have a slight advantage except for the fact that I'm sure there are plenty of Republicans okay plenty of people who is JD Vance would shut the hell up ever who wish JD Vance would be on a script okay would have some talking points because when he wins it oh boy he says things like this see JD Vance was on CNN State of the Union and Dana Bash asked him about the claims he made in regards to Haitians eating pets. You remember the whole Haitians eating pets thing, right?
Starting point is 01:26:28 Let's listen to Trump on the debate stage repeating that lie. In Springfield, they're eating the dogs, the people that came in. They're eating the cats. They're eating the pets. There was a nice little bop, by the way, that somebody made. Oh, yeah. They made a song today? Oh, it is a bop you hear me uh but yes um jd said he felt the need to create stories so that the media actually pays attention
Starting point is 01:26:56 to the suffering of the american people he admit he just kind of made it all up i can't make this kind of stuff up and i wouldn't because i'm not j Vance. Let's go to CNN State of the Union for the report, please. Can you affirmatively say now that that is a rumor that has no base basis with evidence? Dana, the evidence is the first hand account of my constituents who are telling me that this happened. And by the way, I've been trying to talk about the problems in Springfield for months and the American media ignored it. There was a congressional hearing just last week of angel moms who lost children because Kamala Harris let criminal migrants into this country who then murdered their children. The American media totally ignored this stuff until Donald
Starting point is 01:27:40 Trump and I started talking about cat memes. If I have to create stories so that the American media actually pays attention to the suffering of the American people, then that's what I'm going to do, Dana, because you guys are completely letting Kamala Harris coast. You just said that this is a story that you created. So the eating dogs and cats thing is not accurate. We are creating, I say that we're creating a story, meaning we're creating the American media focusing on it. If I have to create stories so that the media actually pays attention to the suffering of the American people, I will. This is why you can't trust anyone except for me, because I tell you, I tell you that you should believe me even though I'm lying. OK, Ryan Holiday wrote a fantastic book that everyone should read called Trust Me, I'm Lying.
Starting point is 01:28:24 And that is me. OK, Ryan Holiday wrote a fantastic book that everyone should read called Trust Me, I'm Lying. And that is me. Okay, that should be all of us. I will tell you that I'm lying because I want to give you the choice on whether you should believe this lie or not. I know you are probably going to believe me anyway because you want to. All right, it's the same reason the FDA puts warning labels on cigarettes, you know, and they tell you these things cause cancer, but you smoke anyway. Okay, you should always give people the choice. J.D. Vance did not. J.D. Vance said he wants to bring attention to the large Haitian population that is here in Springfield illegally.
Starting point is 01:28:52 Can I tell you the truth of the matter, America? The vast majority of Haitians are in the U.S. in Springfield legally through a temporary protected status that has been allocated to them due to the violence and unrest in their home country. And their status must be renewed after 18 months. You know how I know this? Because I read. Okay, it's not complicated. All you have to do is read past the headline. Yeah, I'm old school, guys.
Starting point is 01:29:15 I was born in 1978. I still read the whole article and not just the headline. Now let me tell you what J.D. Vance's rumor has caused. Bomb threats aimed at local hospitals and government offices. And J.D. Vance doesn't want to get any credit for that. Let's listen. You're not just a bystander. You're the senator from Ohio. So instead of saying things that are wrong and actually causing the hospitals, the schools, the government buildings to be evacuated because of bomb threats, because of the cats and dogs thing, why not actually be constructive in helping to better integrate them into the community?
Starting point is 01:29:53 First of all, let me just respond to a couple things that you said. But I want to start with something you said, which I think is frankly disgusting and is more appropriate for a Democratic propagandist than it is for an American journalist. There is nothing that I have said that has led to threats against these hospitals. These hospitals, the bomb threats and so forth, it's disgusting. The violence is disgusting. We condemn it. We condemn all violence and threats of violence. Senator, this happened after you and President Trump were on the debate stage,
Starting point is 01:30:19 said that cats and dogs were being eaten. You asked a question, Dana, and I'm going to go ahead and answer it. You just accused me of inciting violence against the community when all that I've done is surface the complaints of my constituents. J.D. Vance, you are the same person who after Donald Trump got shot at the first time. OK, the first attempt on his life. You tweeted the central premise of the Biden campaign is that President Donald Trump is an authoritarian fascist who must be stopped at all costs. That rhetoric led directly to President Trump's attempted assassination. You tweeted that, J.D. Vance, almost immediately after someone tried to take Trump out the first time.
Starting point is 01:30:56 So if you believe rhetoric can lead to things like attempted assassination attempts, why don't you think your rhetoric could lead to bomb threats on local hospitals and government offices why don't you believe your rhetoric could lead to people trying to hurt Haitians not just in Springfield but all around the country here's the thing about America there is enough real issues going on in this country that we don't have to put no sauce on it JD okay this is the first time in my life that I am actually encouraging a white person not to put seasoning on to it's on to something okay you don't have to when you are actually focused on the issues when you aren't focused on the issues you have to deflect and distract with silly ass stories like this JD stop playing with the American people's realities and more importantly stop playing with their lives
Starting point is 01:31:40 please please give JD Vance the biggest hee haw matter of fact let chelsea handler give uh jd vance the biggest hee haw hee haw hee haw that is way too much dan mayonnaise too much mayonnaise all right they don't get in trouble for that just like making stuff like a million just like making stuff up they've been doing it for the last what 10 years yeah but like i don't know it just feels you know donald trump at one time said, if you drink bleach, it'll cure COVID. Yeah, and that should have been a crime.
Starting point is 01:32:10 It should be a crime. But as we have learned in this country, this country has no actual rules or regulations or laws or even knows how to handle people like the Donald Trumps and the J.D. Vance's of the world. They don't even know how to deal with that type of privilege. But I will say this, speaking of dealing with it, all my Haitian brothers
Starting point is 01:32:31 and sisters, what y'all waiting on, man? Do you still need a piece of J.D. Vance's hair? A fingernail maybe? Can't use a piece of Trump's hair. It would be a waste of some good voodoo because that's a toupee. But it's time for someone to cough up a frog. See, white privilege is strong
Starting point is 01:32:48 but black magic is stronger. Alright. Come on. You know what to do. Salute to all my Haitians out there. I was talking to, you know, my best friend is DJ Mono, Renan. He's Haitian and I spoke to him this week and he said,
Starting point is 01:33:03 yo bro, do you know how many times I had to tell people that i'm not trying to eat their pets he was like people really come to me and ask me which is crazy people come to me asking about my underarms charlamagne same thing you got you got some apologizing to do the fairy you want to talk to the people about what you made up that's the furry your underarms are furry it's the same thing lord jesus christ all right when we come back back, Michael Eric Dyson will be joining us. He has a new book, and we're going to chop it up with him next. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 01:33:28 Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Lauren LaRosa, of course, filling in for Jess. We got a special guest in the building. Yes, indeed.
Starting point is 01:33:42 The brother, Michael Eric Dyson. Keep it light-skinned, brother feeling brother man i'm feeling like we're still riding with drake so let's hang on as long as we can michael eric dyson got a new book out called represent the unfinished fight for the vote yes sir yes sir man you know look uh thank the publishing gods i was like it's pretty good timing yes for what we're doing my co-author mark favreau brilliant writer and gifted historian and we wanted to talk about an issue that's central to what we're dealing with here in america today and that's voting and why people should vote how they fought for it over time and what it means to
Starting point is 01:34:23 us today and people think uh voter suppression might be new. Like they've seen January 6th and all these other recent, you know, incidents that have tried to suppress the vote. But this book discusses other attempts to suppress the vote and deny the vote that go way back. Can you talk about that? Yes, sir. Great, great point. Let's just talk about your state, South Carolina. In the 18, I think it was, 76 election,
Starting point is 01:34:47 where they were deliberately trying to suppress the black vote, right? And these were the Democrats who were in power, who were trying to maintain that power. And back then, it was the Democrats who were the party of the racists and what we subsequently knew as Dixiecrats. So they invented this militia called the Red Shirts, and they were riding roughshod over black people doing illegal stuff to suppress the vote. So January 6th did not start it.
Starting point is 01:35:16 It's part and parcel of what we have done as a government in America. And unbeknownst to a lot of people, January 6th ain't no outlier, unless you say they outlying and not telling the truth about what's going on in American politics. What do you think about what's going on today with the race? Of course, Joe Biden, you know, pushed him out. Right.
Starting point is 01:35:34 Kamala Harris here, new energy. What is your thoughts on the whole thing? Let me part a little. For the homies? For my homie Joe Biden. I know it's improper. I was with that white man until the wheels fell off. I didn't care. Just put it. We get at Bernie's. Push him on the damn wheelchair.
Starting point is 01:35:55 Push him in the room because that was still acceptable over what we were facing. Now, there's no question that there were questions and concerns. You all were on the front line raising those questions. Other people were doing it more nefariously behind the scenes, ostensibly supporting, but all the time stabbing you with the knife. Joe Biden, I think, could have still won. It would have been much closer. It had been a much tighter race. House and ever, as James Brown would say, there is no doubt that the shift in energy to Kamala Harris is remarkable.
Starting point is 01:36:26 Let's be real. It's got to surprise Kamala Harris. You ever done something? You go like, damn, I know. I know I was going to come like that. Nobody could have predicted it. You know what they were predicting? White women ain't going to stand up for that black woman because white women were voting
Starting point is 01:36:40 disproportionately in their numbers for Donald Trump the last time around. They didn't support Hillary to the degree that they should have anyway. So what makes us think that they're going to support this black woman from California? Well, lo and behold, they is. And Republican women are out there doing their things. I hope it's a reverse Tom Bradley effect. You know the Tom Bradley effect, and named after the governor of California, which meant white people would say, oh,'ll vote for the negro we're going to support him
Starting point is 01:37:08 and then go in their booth and then boom vote for the white guy i think the reverse might happen this time around that white women might tell their husbands and other interested parties yes yes i'm a trumper and then go in there and support kamala harris Why? Because she's reasonable. Why? Because she's intelligent. Why? Because she's self-possessed. She's not off the hinge as Trump is. And she continues to escalate a war against the lunacy that is Donald Trump. But I think the energy with her is remarkable. It's astonishing.
Starting point is 01:37:39 And more power to her. I hope she continues to grow in strength and numbers as we go on how do you feel about do you see plies's comments that he made about kamala and people questioning her who plies all right and and and his support you mean his support for her yeah support but it caused a big conversation about how do you question your candidate should you question your candidates is she being questioned unfairly and i know your book is all about like desires and yes ma'am voting equaling that so how did you feel about what he said?
Starting point is 01:38:05 Great point. Well, I love plies, you know, plies is out there just raising the serious questions that need to be raised. Another intellectually curious and insightful young man. And look, you got to question all these candidates.
Starting point is 01:38:19 I love and support Kamala Harris. I've known her for over 20 years. I think she is the best woman for the job. May the best woman win. That's what I think i think however you got to hold everybody to account she knows that if she's worth her salt she's got to say hold me to account and i think it is important to hold people to account but what's interesting to me is that when i i hear all that about holding to account i ain't seeing nobody who's promoting don Trump saying, let me do it skeptically. Let me be self-critical about Mr. Trump. Yes, I think that in their quote and going back 50 years to find something about Joe Biden,
Starting point is 01:38:52 this dude was promoting the death of the Central Park Five, now known as the Exonerated Five, not long ago, and ain't apologized yet or backtracked upon demanding the death penalty for them. Here's a guy who would his father deny people access to housing when he owned these cribs and these apartments in New York. So here's a guy who has been consistent. Now, I think rappers get it twisted. Because he was an icon of hip-hop before. Why? Because he had the women. He had, they thought, they thought he had the money.
Starting point is 01:39:24 You can see he was lying. They thought he had the money. You can see he was lying. They thought he had the buildings and the money and he was a billionaire and all that. So that was attractive to a kind of glitzy hip hop era where it was all about the pursuit of capital. I hear young rappers say, but he gave us a check. No, they talk about during COVID, the twelve hundred dollars or whatever they got. As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to
Starting point is 01:40:00 doubt the possibilities for ourselves, for self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like, grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best. And you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing.

He had lost his mother trying to reach Florida from Cuba. He looked like a little angel. I mean, you look so fresh. And his name, Elian Gonzalez, will make headlines everywhere. Elian Gonzalez.
Starting point is 01:43:31 Elian. Elian. Elian. Elian. Elian. Elian Gonzalez. At the heart of the story is a young boy and the question of who he belongs with. His father in Cuba.
Starting point is 01:43:43 Mr. Gonzalez wanted to go home and he wanted to take his son with him. Or his father in Cuba. Mr. González wanted to go home, and he wanted to take his son with him. Or his relatives in Miami. Imagine that your mother died trying to get you to freedom. At the heart of it all is still this painful family separation. Something that as a Cuban, I know all too well. Listen to Chess Peace, the Elian González story, as part of the My Cultura podcast network, available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist who on October 16th, 2017,
Starting point is 01:44:21 was murdered. There are crooks everywhere you look now. The situation is desperate. My name is Manuel Delia.

Listen to Crooks everywhere on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. 2000, check the record, That's the legislative branch. That is Congress stuff that he opposed.
Starting point is 01:45:11 And then he took credit for distributing Joe Biden done hooked up a lot of people in terms of student loans. I know three or four people have been forgiven a hundred thousand or more. So the point is check the record, stop the disinformation, stop the misinformationinformation stop the misinformation stop the deep fakes and ask serious questions you must always hold people to account hold me to account hold y'all to account but do it in a in a in a i think respectful fashion all right we got more with michael eric dice and when we come back don't move it's the breakfast club
Starting point is 01:45:40 good morning morning everybody it's dj envyilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Lauren LaRose is filling in for Jess, and we're still kicking it with Michael Eric Dyson. Charlamagne? You know, your book also points out how the founding fathers didn't want everybody to vote. Could you talk about who couldn't vote at the beginning of the nation?
Starting point is 01:45:58 Yeah, I'm glad you said that, because people think, well, they came here, they're trying to flee Great Britain, you know, taxation without representation. No. Sounds like D.C., right? Mm-hmm. But the point is, the founding fathers were like, man, we got to be real careful with that. Because if you say everybody can vote, then them slaves can vote.
Starting point is 01:46:15 Can't have that. So we got to figure out a way to keep them out. Oh, we don't want the women running stuff. Got to figure out a way to keep them out. Oh, I get it. We'll say you have to be property owning. Now, that excludes a whole bunch of white people to white men. But we can keep it elite.
Starting point is 01:46:30 We can keep it a nice little club that we control because we don't want the unwashed masses to be able to determine and dictate what goes on in America. So initially, what did they do? They punted it. The federal government said, let's let's give it to the states. Whoever is in New Jersey, they can decide what they're doing. Who's in Massachusetts, they can decide what they're doing. Who's in South Carolina, they can decide
Starting point is 01:46:54 what they're doing. So they punted it to the states. You've heard of this thing called states' rights. That was a big thing during the civil rights movement at its height because they were saying it's the states' rights. Forget the federal government telling us what we can and cannot do imposing uh constraints upon us you know when george wallace the governor of alabama stood in the door and kept those negroes from entering the university of alabama forget the the federal government it's the state and alabama says they
Starting point is 01:47:19 cannot come in so that's what's set up by the federal government because they said the founding fathers we don't want us dictating and determining what goes on in these states um you wrote a great article uh speaking of the vice president kamala harris and racial politics and you compared kamala to drake at certain levels what were you trying to say in that piece because you know we want people to vote for the vice president right i don't know if comparing her to drake right now is the best way i watched the sermon too that you did on, we want people to vote for the Vice President. I don't know if comparing her to Drake right now is the best way. I watched the sermon, too, that you did on him. You mentioned it. I watched that.
Starting point is 01:47:49 Go ahead. Alright, well, see, here's my point. Break it down, my light-skinned brother. You know what? We have been in exile, light-skinned black people, since Wesley Snipes stabbed Christopher Williams in New Jack City. It's been rough on us. I'm not going to lie. One of my favorite moments is now. I can't lie about City. It's been rough on us. I'm not going to lie. One of my favorite moments.
Starting point is 01:48:05 I can't lie about that. Yeah, pretty. Okay. We've been hurting ever since. We were depending upon Steph Curry and Drake to bring us back. And it's been a setback in one way. But here's the point, to be serious. The song is one thing.
Starting point is 01:48:19 Say what you will about They Not Like Us. But as an argument, They like us 1582 12.5 black people from africa are dispersed across the north atlantic why is that important because when we're talking about who's black and who's not because you know people debated me we ain't talking you so stupid it's not about race and drake it's about culture he's a culture vulture are you serious right now what other black entertainer do you know has ever been called a culture vulture for experimenting in his own or her own music that's number one number two drake grew up in toronto adopting different musical persona was indigenous to that particular region. Number two. Number three, a lot of black folk went to Canada
Starting point is 01:49:07 when they were trying to escape the murderous privileges of whiteness in America where slavocracy was established. So when you say Drake is illegitimate or not genuine because he doesn't like black American culture or doesn't embrace it, blackness is bigger than what happens in the United States of America. Kamala Harris they said the same thing about Drake is her.
Starting point is 01:49:30 You got a fake accent. You went to Canada to go to school. J.D. Vance has been on her about that. And then that you are not genuinely black. In the way that other black people are. Blackness by definition is subversive. It undermines narrow categories. I spent most of my career arguing
Starting point is 01:49:46 against people who are trying to impose narrow constraints upon blackness. We are as big as our imaginations allow us to be, and I think this is one of the sorry moments within hip-hop and black culture where Drake becomes automatically the representative of what is
Starting point is 01:50:02 inauthentic. And Kamala Harris in the same way. You ain't really black. She's not a real black woman. Even Donald Trump is trying to weigh in by saying she just turned black like she had malaria or some other disease and leprosy and that she became black. This is the kind of ignorance that we've got to confront.
Starting point is 01:50:18 Give people a case as to why they should go out and vote for this election because everybody always says, oh, this is the most consequential election of our lifetime. You know, this election, this candidate is a threat to democracy, which I believe Trump is. Yes.
Starting point is 01:50:31 But why should people go out there and vote in this election? Why is this the most important election of our lifetime? It is. And thank you for saying that. That's a great, great point. It is because, you know how they often say democracy is on the ballot? But it is. Right ballot, but it is
Starting point is 01:50:45 right because the choice is pretty glaring. You've got a person who has undermined the very nature of what democracy is about. If democracy, as we define in this book, is people power and the ability of people to control and govern the institutions that regulate their lives, to be able to dictate the terms of their existence by full participation in American democracy, then we have to conclude this man is a danger and a threat to American democracy. Now, he tried to flip that by saying, this is why they attempted to assassinate me, because they have demonized me and painted me as a bet noir, as a horrible person for American democracy. But you are, sir. So I think it's right for us to acknowledge that in this election, we are choosing between that on the one hand and a woman who is the representative of all that is great and good about America. And I continue to support and love that woman
Starting point is 01:51:46 because she represents the best of who we are. Michael Eric Dice, ladies and gentlemen. That's right. Represent the unfinished fight for the vote is available everywhere you buy books right now. That's right. We appreciate you for joining us this morning. Love y'all. Keep doing the great work.

Starting point is 01:53:43 Now, the Robert Downey Jr. Moment was like A full circle moment Because he mentioned Having the poster But Robert Downey Jr. Was actually in the same category As Lamar In the Emmys last night
Starting point is 01:53:52 So I thought that That was dope as well too I'm going to tell you why Well first of all Dropping the Clues Bounce To Lamar That's such a dope win Because I'm old enough
Starting point is 01:53:58 To remember when BET did their New Faces campaign And they had bought in All of these new hosts It was Terrence J., it was Roxy, it was my good sister Alicia Renee, it was Julissa Bermudez, I believe,
Starting point is 01:54:11 and Lamar. It was Lamar. That's right. And then Lamar, I don't know what he went off to do after BET, but I know he ended up on that show, The New Guy. Yeah, that was a big breakout for him.
Starting point is 01:54:19 That was it. He talked about that too, basically being surprised, even when he was nominated, because this was such a different role for him because he's normally in a comedy situation. But he said he wants to do more drama. And I mean, now they're going to be calling because he's an Emmy winner. I forgot he came from that BET class.
Starting point is 01:54:32 I didn't know he had so many naked or half-waked. I see you got your little shrine over there. That's why I was taking pictures. Lamar, I want Lamar to see how you got your little Lamar Morris shrine over there. I'm just paying him great respect. I don't know if he got a girl or not. He might be married. So if he got one,

It could stand for Lauren. It on, gals. The LL Express. You can have them, sis. You got them. You can have them.
Starting point is 01:55:26 It could stand for Leonard and Lamar. It could stand for Lauren. It's Leonard, sir. No, it's Leonard. Okay. L and L. Lee Lee. Okay, so Cardi B.
Starting point is 01:55:34 Cardi B, she spoke out over the weekend. I thought that this was really interesting because you know how she's not a first time mom, but I hear a lot of women talk about a new appreciation they find for their mom. It's number three for her. Yeah yeah this is baby number three for her so she spoke out about um just some things that she's starting to realize that her mom does in her life um since when she was pregnant but now that she's had the baby let's take a listen then to an argument with my mom but i gotta remember that she does things out of love no matter how i know she could get hit so um when i got injured with my pelvis my mom was like got to eat chicken for soup.
Starting point is 01:56:07 Because chicken for soup, it makes your bones strong. Whatever. I'm pregnant at that time. Now I give birth. And guess what my mom made me? Even though today is Manhattan outside, chicken for soup. And then she's making Kutcher eat the soup. Like, no, you're going to eat the soup.
Starting point is 01:56:24 And I can't say nothing because I'm not going to challenge my mom. You got to eat the soup like now you're gonna eat the soup and i can't say nothing because i'm not gonna challenge my mom you gotta eat the soup oh hennessey hennessey come get your mom but i'm gonna drink this i'm gonna eat the whole soup you wanna know why because she does it with love ain't nobody ask her and one day i'm gonna miss this i was just having that conversation with my mom over the weekend like Like you only get one mom, like you gotta appreciate all of this stuff. And Cardi had actually spoke out, uh, back in August,
Starting point is 01:56:49 um, August 1st about, a freak accident that happened where she potentially could have lost her baby, but she ended up paralyzed. Let's take a listen to that. I was in the hospital for like two or three days. And now that I'm back in home, I'm in a lot of pain.
Starting point is 01:57:03 I got in a little freak accident, but I injured myself. And I had a real bad scare. Thank God when I had the freak accident, my dad was here. We thought it wasn't going to be a big issue. But then it became a big issue. So I was in the hospital for like two, three days. Somebody said, what's a freak accident? That's what I have to explain it because i don't
Starting point is 01:57:26 know how something that it was like okay all right like i was no it doesn't really happen often became something that is so big to the point i was literally paralyzed and that little thing almost cost me for my little one to come but i was at a good hospital my doctors were great thank god it's people asking what is a freak accident nowadays they don't know what that is they just wanted to know exactly what it was because she said freak accident but they go into details but well they thought they was like you fall at diddy house that's what they did a freak accident no a freak accident is an unexpected or unusual or unlikely event yeah but i think it's more so like you fall in his house like you slipped on a wet floor
Starting point is 01:58:06 okay what's making the floor wet socks are dripping that's not some rock that's sticky Y'all are so... What's making the floor wet? Socks all dripping. That's not Ciroc. That's not Ciroc. That's sticky. That's not pine salt. No, but she mentioned her pelvis
Starting point is 01:58:34 in the first video I played, so I think that that goes into the accident. I can't get nothing serious done with y'all. Oh, my God. Are we glad Cardi is okay? Glad Cardi is okay. She looks like Cardi. Can I mention... big body no i
Starting point is 01:58:46 see her on a treadmill already this morning so she's back to working out she said she's getting back to herself she's working out um she and she wanted uh people to know that this time the last baby she couldn't even do workouts and stuff like that it took her some time to get back to herself but now she's doing it like first week out postpartum so yeah jaylo and ben can i get into them what's my time of night? You got like 60 seconds. J-Lo and Ben are basically giving, they're like white people's cardio offset. There's reports over the weekend that they were back together again. They were out at lunch and they were like kissing.
Starting point is 01:59:15 But y'all know she just filed for divorce by herself. Went up to the court by herself. A rep came out and said they were just together because of the kids. But I feel like that's how it always starts. I'm very confused. There were photos of them out out they weren't showing any pda in the photos i'm a little confused i don't know what's happening it's like why go through all this stuff to file for divorce and all that you're just gonna go i mean they were married i mean they're always gonna have a connection right but people are saying that they saw them kissing
Starting point is 01:59:39 maybe they're making out i'm just saying why go through the why get to the point of filing for divorce if you're just going to figure it out? Just figure it out.
