Starting point is 00:06:41 We got front page news. Morgan Wood will be joining us. She'll give us updates on what's been happening over the weekend, so don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlemagne the Guy.
Starting point is 00:06:51 We are the Breakfast Club. Lauren LaRosa filling in for Jess, and let's get in some front page news. Start off with some quick sports. Now, last night, NFL. Bengals beat the Panthers. The Falcons beat the Saints. Texas beat the Jaguars. Vikings beat the Packers. The Broncos beat the Jets. Colts beat the Steelers. The Bears beat the Panthers. The Falcons beat the Saints. Texas beat the Jaguars. Vikings beat the Packers. The
Starting point is 00:07:05 Broncos beat the Jets. Colts beat the Steelers. The Bears beat the Rams. The 49ers beat the Patriots. The Buccaneers beat the Eagles. Commanders beat the Cardinals. Chiefs beat the Chargers. Ravens beat the Bills. And Raiders beat the Browns. Now, in Monday Night Football, who's playing tonight? Because usually it's on the sheet
Starting point is 00:07:22 and I don't see it. Well, in WNBA scores, the Liberty beat the the aces 87 77 and the sun beat the link 73 to 70. good morning morgan good morning good morning so uh yeah let's get into some news in case you missed it on friday new york city mayor adams well he was in court where he pled not guilty to federal corruption charges. Adams was hit with a five count indictment on Thursday, claiming he accepted bribes like lavish trips and illegal campaign contributions from foreign officials. Now, he was released on his own signature and gave the thumbs up after leaving the courthouse. Now, Adam, after Adam's arraignment at a Manhattan federal court, defense attorney Alex Shapiro said his client is innocent. And this week, they plan to file a motion to dismiss what he calls the airline upgrade corruption case.
Starting point is 00:08:13 Now, let's hear more from Mayor Adams' attorney, Alex Shapiro. There are no emails, text messages, or any corroboration whatsoever that the mayor knew about anything having to do with these campaign donations. The entire body of evidence is one staffer and the government is in possession of that lie. When that staffer was first interviewed, that staffer said that Mayor Adams knew nothing about this. He was not involved in this and that he is innocent. Yeah, so Adams was warned not to skip any of the hearings or interfere with the case. Meanwhile, there are calls for him to step down and those continue to grow. Also, a former New York governor, Andrew Cuomo, reportedly plans to run for mayor if the New
Starting point is 00:08:59 York City pushes Adams out. The New York Post reports that Cuomo is telling city power brokers that he's in it to win it if Adams is forced to leave or if he drops out or resigns. If Adams does depart, that would trigger a nonpartisan special election in New York
Starting point is 00:09:17 City. Cuomo resigned as governor back in 2021 as a result of sexual misconduct. Maybe I missed it, but I didn't see them put Mayor Adams in handcuffs, right? And I didn't see a mugshot either, right? No, I didn't see that at all. You normally don't see mugs. A lot of times you won't see mugshots in New York.
Starting point is 00:09:32 Well, I'm not. That's not true. But from the elected officials, I'm not mad at it, though, because they didn't put Trump in handcuffs and he didn't have a mugshot. So there's going to be a level of privilege for elected officials or former elected officials as long as it's across the board. I'm fine with it. They've been handled.
Starting point is 00:09:44 Remember, I told you you that though, like they wouldn't answer any questions after the indictment dropped, which they did immediately for Diddy and other people. They've been handling like he's an official, in my opinion. They wouldn't answer questions at the press conference, which they normally always do. I was like, oh wow, okay. Yeah, he said he wasn't going to step down. He said he's going to step up.
Starting point is 00:09:59 I seen him in front with a bunch of church officials and leaders of the church and he said he's going to fight it. I think he should step down. No, I don't think he should step down. I think you're innocent until proven guilty. And the main reason I don't think he should step down is because of President Donald Trump. That's just how I feel.
Starting point is 00:10:14 If President Donald Trump can still run for president with all of the charges that he's facing, I think that, you know. Well, he was convicted. He actually was convicted and still running. So I think Mayor Adams should stay in. And I think that's the problem with liberals and Democrats, right? Like, they love to, you know, cannibalize their own, like calling for him to step down. Republicans would never do that. And they wouldn't do it after the person gets convicted.
Starting point is 00:10:37 So I don't think he should step down. No. Okay, we'll speak at which. Lieutenant Governor of North Carolina, Mark Robinson, he was treated for second-degree burns over the weekend following an incident at a campaign event on Friday night. According to a statement released by communications director for Robinson's campaign, he was treated at a Mount Airy hospital and soon released after. He was apparently walking around a truck and accidentally laid his hand on a hot tailpipe.
Starting point is 00:11:01 Has he done that before? No, just kidding. But he is just fine now, so he is at home recovering. Robinson has, of course, he's been in some controversy as it's been reported that he made racist and sexually explicit comments
Starting point is 00:11:13 on a porn site calling himself a black Nazi and also saying that America should bring back slavery. So, yeah, we'll continue to watch what's going on with Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson
Starting point is 00:11:24 out of North Carolina who has also decided not to step down. And, Envy, you were talking about sports. Yeah, so Monday night matchups, the Dolphins and the Titans. And then, of course, the Seahawks are going to Detroit. Well, can you tell me about what you said about laying hands on a hot tailpipe? What the hell was that? I bet you I knew you would like that. No, Mark Robinson, the guy out of North Carolina who was...
Starting point is 00:11:46 You gave him donkey. I know, I know, but I don't know if I gave him donkey, but he just wanted to put his hand on her. Over the weekend, he burned his hand. He burned his hand. He was recovering. He heard hot tailpipe and got excited. That's what I said.
Starting point is 00:11:58 That's all you heard was hot tailpipe. No, you just kind of sped by it. I was just like, what the hell? What happened to her? He did what? Yeah, well, I've got more, but we'll talk about it in the 7 o'clock hour. We'll catch up with the presidential candidates

Starting point is 00:13:08 sad and then to hear other people's accounts where they basically told them to shelter in place knowing that they that their dams and their rivers were basically like bound to overflow it's just disheartening well i'm sorry again do you have power and everything is okay with you mama oh yeah i'm from charleston i my power went out for eight hours and then came back on okay yeah i mean everybody at home this weekend was saying i mean i you know all my family in the low country they was just like it was they said the storm that came in august was worse.

Starting point is 00:19:12 revolt world 2024 let's take a listen to bussy's comments first and then we'll get to ivy's video so your daughter came out and told you she was gay it. I mean, she still can't bring her situation to our house. My daughter is wrong. Well, why is she wrong? Because I don't want it to contaminate her other. I don't want her to get contaminated to her other six, seven sisters who look up to her. I want them to bring me grandchildren the right way. If I want grandchildren the right way, that's what I'm gonna stand on you know if i don't want my other little girl to look at daddy say what's that daddy to somebody she looks up to it's not gonna come around my grandpa didn't let it my daddy didn't
Starting point is 00:19:57 let it and i didn't let it i just hope the one under me when they take this wrong they don't let it because that's not what our family believes so iviana posted a video she's sitting in the car um it seems like it's just her in the car and it was a very heartfelt video in response to bussy's comments let's take a listen he always speaking on my sexuality and it's been about two years now that i'll be quiet i keep quiet on the i wouldn't say nothing i did everything in my power to understand that this is my father regardless i just seen he recently did an interview with carisha and he used the word contaminating and putting my siblings in it with that make me so mad i love and respect my siblings when you're getting on their nerves i'm who they call
Starting point is 00:20:44 another thing the first ever interview you did you said you found out i was gay from a picture that went viral that was a lie i let that slide you found out i was gay a year before that the incident happened in jamaica when i was a gay b word when you called me a gay b word so if the world really knew all the things and hurtful things you told me before and i forgave you you and he understand now in this video she she she cries she's she's breaking down um it was hard to watch for sure bussy responded after this video and after you know um people had began to react to the video but it's no way i knew when i saw the video i'm like there's no way he's gonna watch
Starting point is 00:21:20 this video and not uh hopefully get on the phone with his baby girl or something. So he posted a photo of them and said, never meant to hurt you with a broken heart, daddy, baby. And she had asked in a video if he just could stop speaking on her situation in different interviews. And then over the weekend, he continued to post different things. He said, y'all won't make me look like a bad father. I love all my kids. I'm a good father. He was posting photos of his kids. Captions were good.
Starting point is 00:21:43 God got us. What's understood does not need to be said. And Marlon Wayans actually spoke out on Boosie's behalf. Because, you know, Marlon Wayans has a trans child. And has been a very big supporter of his child. And he basically said, you know, we can't call Boosie a monster. That, you know, it's going to take, maybe it takes some time and conversations. But it's not nothing that we can get online and slam him and call him a monster.
Starting point is 00:22:10 I'll get the exact quote. But when I watched this, I was just like, man, I hope that at some point they can sit down and have a conversation. Because who she chooses to love is not going to change. But that's always going to be her father. She acknowledged that too. Well, I think there's a couple of things, right? I believe you really have to have a code with your family in this social media era, especially when you've grown and your kids have grown. And because of the world we're in, we find ourselves on the same platforms,

Starting point is 00:24:35 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 unhearts 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. And she paid the ultimate price. Listen to Crooks everywhere on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey there, I'm Dr. Maya Shanker, a cognitive scientist who studies human behavior.
Starting point is 00:25:29 On my podcast, A Slight Change of Plans, I marry science and storytelling to better understand how to navigate the big changes in our lives. It was like a slow nightmare, you know, because every day you think, oh, surely tomorrow I'll be better. And I would dream of being better. At night, I would dream that my face was quote unquote normal or back to the way it was. And I'd wake up and there'd be no change. I also speak with scientists about how we can be more resilient in the face of change. You can think of the adolescent brain as like the social R&D engine of our culture, that they're something that looks like risky and idiotic to us is maybe their way of creatively trying to solve the problem of having social success and fewer of the things that bring you social failure. Listen to A Slight Change of Plans on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts. Hey, I'm Gianna Pardenti.
Starting point is 00:26:28 And I'm Jimei Jackson-Gadsden. We're the hosts of Let's Talk Offline, the early career podcast from LinkedIn News and iHeart Podcasts. One of the most exciting things about having your first real job is that first real paycheck. You're probably thinking, yay, I can finally buy a new phone. But you also have a lot of questions like, how should I be investing this money? I mean, how much do I save? And what about my 401k? Well, we're talking with finance expert Vivian Tu, aka Your Rich BFF, to break it all down.
Starting point is 00:26:57 I always get roasted on the internet when I say this out loud, but I'm like, every single year, you need to be asking for a raise of somewhere between 10 to 15%. I'm not saying you're going to get 15% every single year, but if you ask for 10 to 15, and you end up getting eight, that is actually a true raise. Listen to this week's episode of Let's Talk Offline on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. We have to remember one thing. Issues with our family, especially our kids, don't express that to social media. Don't give that to social media.
Starting point is 00:27:31 When you're in these interviews, don't give your feelings about your kids to these heathens so they can pick it apart. That's your kids. Yeah, and that was Ivy's point. I'll be honest with you. She just said, you know, I want him to stop speaking on me in these interviews
Starting point is 00:27:41 because when I do interviews and people try and paint you as a monster, I never allow them to do that. Marlon Wayans said I do interviews and people try and paint you as a monster, I never allowed him to do that. Marlon Wayans said, you can't paint Boosie official as a monster. That man is a father that provides. I believe him, his daughter, and God will figure this out. It took me a second. Give their family grace and time.
Starting point is 00:27:55 This is a growing pain. She knows her daddy loves her. That's all that matters. He may come around. He may not, but that's on him and her. And that's how I felt watching the video. We got to give them some time to let them figure this out behind closed doors and contaminate was definitely the wrong word like oh my god like boozy could have just said influence but the reality is if
Starting point is 00:28:13 a person is gay they're going to be gay like boozy said something else in that uh conversation with carisha he said that's not what his family believes in but even with his family not believing in that his daughter still is gay so once again you can't control that and once again none of this should be playing out for us the public this should be in-house you know family things we should know about none of this right i agree i agree well moving on um the super bowl so you know there's been so many conversations about what kendrick lamar's set list is going to be or is not going to be. So over the weekend, there was audio WAC 100 that dropped where he claimed that Drake has sent a cease and desist letter to the NFL
Starting point is 00:28:51 so that Not Like Us could not be an option on that track list. Let's take a listen. Drake gets served a cease and desist. He digging himself a bigger dish. Served who? Kendrick Lamar, so he can't perform Not Like us. Oh, no, that's serious. You think he should have bought Kendrick to the world that can. So what about like what? Because he didn't stick when Kendrick did. Is that what you say? You think it's going to hold back? Oh, Lord. Oh, Lord.
Starting point is 00:29:25 Jay-Z got something to do with it, ain't he? So, now, we reached out to a source, a source close to Drake, who told us that this was completely not true, that there was no cease and desist sent around the song, Not Like Us, and the ability for it not to be played. Now, I will note, I know a lot of people, when I posted this tweet, and I know we had a conversation about this as well, too, so if there's anything that I didn't add, make sure you hop on in.
Starting point is 00:29:51 But when I posted this tweet, there were so many people that fired back. Like, right now? What are you looking at right now? What are you looking at? The Kamala commercial popped up on my computer. It just popped up? Yes. You've been targeted by transgenders?
Starting point is 00:30:05 But when I posted this tweet, so many people were saying like, hold on, are you for sure? Because there's been a couple times where Drake's camp has come out and said,
Starting point is 00:30:13 we did not do something and then it was found that it was done. Or he tried to do it under the radar. Like when Rick Ross let us know that there was a cease and desist
Starting point is 00:30:20 sent from Drake's team to French Montana over the song. And then Larry Jackson from Gamma came out and said, actually, that was true. And then Kendrick Lamar said on Euphoria that Drake sent a cease and desist over like that. So they're like, wait, he has a pattern of doing this.
Starting point is 00:30:36 So are they just saying that because they don't want to own the fact that they're doing it? I don't know if that's true or not, but I know I sat here in this chair on The Breakfast Club and told y'all that was probably going to happen. Drake is a walking revenue stream. There's so many people that he makes money for.
Starting point is 00:30:51 It wouldn't surprise me at all if somebody sent a cease and desist. Nobody wants to get called a pedophile in front of 123.4 million people. But I don't feel like he's going to do that part of the song anyway because I feel like the people that are going to be in the stands
Starting point is 00:31:02 and just the business of the Super Bowl halftime show and it's just not good for business to say pedophile on the stage. I think you are going to be in the stands and just the business of the Super Bowl halftime show it's just not good for business to say pedophile on the stage. I think you're going to hear the opening chords of Not Like Us and then the hook. For him in his moment, Kendrick's moment at the Super Bowl, I wouldn't want him to do that. You really want to hear him rapping about Baka
Starting point is 00:31:18 and party next door at the Super Bowl? I feel like you're going to get the that moment. You're going to get the dance. We're going to get the caricatures of it. Because he can't do what he did in L.A. on the Super Bowl stage. He doesn't have enough time. And it's going to be February by then. He's going to probably have new music out.
Starting point is 00:31:34 Plus he's going to do the classics. It's the Super Bowl. You got to sprinkle a little jab in there, though. I think you'll hear the opening chords. There'll be a little wah, wah, wah, wah. You get one of the line bands. You get one of the line bands. You get one of the line bands to do the
Starting point is 00:31:46 opening chords and you hear the They Not Like Us and keep it moving. Yeah, so what the source actually told me was that they said that cease and desist is usually public knowledge
Starting point is 00:31:54 in California. I don't know if that's true. And they said that when they do pull it up, you won't see Drake's name or anything like that. They said that they
Starting point is 00:32:00 believe the NFL might have sent that out because of what they're saying in the song. But they said Drake's team didn't send out a cease and desist. Why would the NFL send a cease and desist? All the NFL had to do was tell them. We don't want this play.
Starting point is 00:32:10 I have no idea. I'm telling you what they told me. That don't make no sense. Why would the NFL send a cease and desist? I don't know. But it wasn't that. I don't know. But if something comes up, I wouldn't be surprised if the NFL is distancing and has nothing to do with it.
Starting point is 00:32:23 But if it's out there, it's going to come out now. Because I was told that whoever WAC talked to was a prominent source. And if Dirk Seaman saying it didn't happen or someone close to him, if it's out there, it's going to come out. They posted cease and desist before. I know Metro posted. Remember Metro Booman posted the one he got? And by the way, whatever the NFL doesn't want to be said at the halftime show,
Starting point is 00:32:43 it won't be said. I remember the halftime show with Dre and Snoop. Kendrick didn't say Popo. And we're going to be all right. And they hate Popo. And people were upset about that. I remember that. He said hate, but he didn't say hate Popo.
Starting point is 00:32:54 Yeah. Right. Well, we'll just have to wait to see and see if some paperwork drops online. All right. Well, that is just what the mess with Law and La Rosa. Now, when we come back, we got front page news. So don't go anywhere. It's The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:33:05 Good morning. You're checking out the Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Lawn LaRosa filling in for Jess. And let's get in some front page news. Now, let's start off with some sports.
Starting point is 00:33:19 Now, the Bengals beat the Panthers. Falcons beat the Saints. Texans beat the Jaguars. Vikings beat the Packers. Broncos beat the Jets. Colts beat the Saints. Texans beat the Jaguars. Vikings beat the Packers. Broncos beat the Jets. Colts beat the Steelers. Bears beat the Rams. The 49ers beat the Patriots.
Starting point is 00:33:30 Buccaneers beat the Eagles. Commanders beat the Cardinals. The Chiefs beat the Chargers. Ravens beat the Bills. And the Raiders beat the Browns. Now, in Monday Night Football, the Dolphins take on the Titans at 730. Seahawks play the Lions at 815. And I'm just going to give you some WNBA playoff scores.
Starting point is 00:33:47 Liberty beat the Aces last night 87-77. They lead the series 1-0. And the Sun beat the Lynx last night 73-70. They lead the series 1-0 as well. Good morning, Morgan. Good morning. Happy Monday. Let's talk about what happened over the weekend with these presidential candidates.
Starting point is 00:34:03 So former President Donald Trump, he was busy on the campaign trail over the weekend. He held rallies in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan, which are all battleground states. Now, this comes as a new ICE report says the Biden-Harris administration has left or let 425,000 illegal immigrants who are convicted criminals into the U. Now during the rallies, Trump slammed Vice President Kamala Harris on immigration, called the numbers inexcusable, and added that the administration's border policies are letting thousands of violent criminals into our country. Let's hear from Donald Trump. You know, I had one year where Border Patrol said no terrorists came in. I had another year where they said 11 came in. Thousands of terrorists are pouring into our country now. These are stone cold killers. And they let in people that are worse than any criminal we have. If Kamala Harris gets four more years, America, as we know it, will absolutely be destroyed.
Starting point is 00:35:00 So Trump also spoke about the influx of Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio, claimed that the town is destroyed as a result. And he urged the Springfield, Ohio, Mayor Rob Rue to speak out against the migrants and do more. Now, Rob Rue has who is a Republican. He's along party lines for Trump. He has spoken out. In fact, he has told the former president that and Senator J.D. Vance that, you know, his comments about Haitians eating pets and all of those things, they're not helping. And maybe you should stay away from Springfield and not visit because your comments aren't helping.
Starting point is 00:35:27 Anyways, Trump's comments, they come two days after Harris visited the southern border in Arizona in an attempt to cut down on the former president's polling lead on immigration. Now, while visiting Douglas, Arizona, VP Harris talked about border patrol leaders, or she spoke with border patrol leaders, rather,
Starting point is 00:35:44 about securing the area and promised 1500 new border officers, 100 new inspection systems and an updated training program if elected. She emphasized her work on brokering a bipartisan border deal that Trump told Republican congressmen to vote down earlier this year. Let's hear those comments from VP Harris. He did not solve the shortage of immigration judges. He did not solve the shortage of border agents. He did not create lawful pathways into our nation. He did nothing to address an outdated asylum system. I will reach across the aisle and I will embrace common sense approaches and new technologies
Starting point is 00:36:27 to get the job done and so even though donald trump tried to sabotage the border security bill it is my pledge to you that as president of the united states i will bring it back up and proudly sign it into law you guys have any thoughts on the border um i don't have any thoughts on the border, but I do have thoughts on the fact that a lot of that stuff that the Vice President is saying, man, she need to be saying it during football games. Because I'll tell you what, that ad they was running during
Starting point is 00:36:55 the football games this weekend claiming the Vice President supports funding gender transition surgeries for all prison inmates and migrants in the U.S., that was nuts. I wouldn't say nuts, but that was crazy. That was funny. I don't know if it was the backdrop of football, but when you hear the narrator say,
Starting point is 00:37:10 Kamala supports taxpayer-funded sex changes for prisoners, that one line, I was like, hell no, I don't want my taxpayer dollars going to that. I definitely see that. That ad was effective. Kamala took a picture with a transgender. This is what they were saying. It made it seem like Kamala supports transgender sex changes
Starting point is 00:37:26 in jail with our money. That's what it, that's what it came across. Isn't that what they're saying? Yes. Yes, it literally said that Kamala supports
Starting point is 00:37:33 taxpayer funded sex changes for prisoners. And it talks about how she supports funding gender transition surgeries for all prison inmates and migrants in the United States.
Starting point is 00:37:42 That ad was impactful. I don't know, like it was. I'm not gonna lie, I was like, damn. Was it because it was doing ad was impactful. I don't know. It was. I'm not going to lie. I was like, damn. Was it because it was door football? Yes. I think it was door because it was door football. That's what he's saying, like the contrast of it.
Starting point is 00:37:51 Yes. But then last week they had the same thing running on Tim Walsh in City Lux, likes tampons in boys' bathrooms. I would not have paid that. I don't think I would have paid that commercial no attention if it was any other time. But when you're watching football and you just mind, you just, what the hell? In between big commercials they give you this?
Starting point is 00:38:09 Okay, well meanwhile, VP Harris and her running mates and Walls, they are launching a nationwide HBCU tour across the battleground states. They made the announcement over the weekend on Saturday and kicked off the event tailgating at Winston-Salem State University, also marking their 132nd Founders Day.
Starting point is 00:38:26 In a press release, the Harris-Walls campaign recognized how HBCU homecoming season remains one of the most significant celebrations of HBCU culture that takes place annually across the country. And, of course, the statement goes on to say, as a proud graduate of Howard University, Vice President Harris understands the pivotal role that HBCUs have played in achieving its principal mission, the education of black Americans, thereby reshaping American democracy for almost two centuries. Now, of course, she again kicked off their tour, HBCU tour, homecoming tour at Winston-Salem State University over the weekend. Coming up is Lincoln University, Virginia State University, Howard University, North Carolina, A&T, Clark, Atlanta, Morehouse Spellman Spellhouse. So if you guys go to those schools or if you're headed there, you know, you might want to plan ahead because you might have some extra visitors coming in for those homecomings. There's no way the vice president is going to be able to hit all of those schools. Like three of those homecomings are on the same day, right?
Starting point is 00:39:21 Why Delaware State not on the list? So Lincoln University and Virginia State are both October 12th. Yeah. And then Howard and North Carolina A&T and Clark Atlanta are all on October. Yeah, I'm sure she'll definitely do Howard. I'm sure she'll do Howard. She graduated from Howard, though. Even if she didn't, she'd still go there.
Starting point is 00:39:38 She graduated from Howard. So I'm sure she'll do Howard. Howard, Spellman, and Morehouse get everything. You'll get some surrogates wearing a combo of t-shirt, but there's no way she's going to be at all of those. Or they might split them up. Maybe Walsh should go to one, but it wouldn't make sense for Walsh to go. Do y'all want to see Walsh at HBCU? No, not at HBCU. Not at all.
Starting point is 00:39:54 Oh, no. Speaking of Walsh, though, you guys do know that on Tuesday, there is a vice presidential debate that's happening on CBS News, right? The network announced the rules on Friday for the debate between Democratic VP candidate Tim Walsh and his GOP counterpart, J.D. Vance. While the mics won't be muted, the network said it reserves the right to turn off the candidates' mics. In the two presidential debates this summer, the mics were muted unless it was the candidates' turn to speak. Also said by network, I mean, CBS News said that Vance won a virtual coin toss for the right to choose when he will give the whether he will be first or close out the statement.
Starting point is 00:40:31 He has decided that he will speak after Wall. So he will have the closing statement. J.D. Vance will. Yeah, I think it's going to be interesting. I don't know. You know, like I was even when I was talking about the ads and I say it's not about what you say, it's where you say it. I don't know. I don't know if a lot of Tim Walls is a tax. I don't don't want to say attacks but the things he's been saying about jd vance like
Starting point is 00:40:48 calling him weird i don't know if that's going to stick on a debate stage because as soon as he calls him weird then jd vance gonna call him tampon tim and say you know you wanted to you wanted to put tampons in the male bathroom and you want people to be able to get penises out of vending machines like like he's going like vending machines. And when you hear that right on the national stage, you're going to be like, what? He wanted to put tampons in the men's bathroom? It's just going to be, I don't know, it's going to be interesting. So anyways, that's your front page news.

Starting point is 00:41:30 All right. Thank you, Morgan. All right. Now let's open up the phone line to 800-585-1051. If you're just joining us, Boosie was talking about how he felt about his daughter and how he didn't want his daughter's Relationship to come in the house. I don't want her to get contaminated to her other six, seven sisters who look up to her. I want them to bring me grandchildren the right way. If I want grandchildren the right way, that's what I'm going to stand on.
Starting point is 00:42:16 You know, if I don't want my other little girl to look at daddy and say, what's that, daddy? To somebody she looks up to? It's not going to come around. My grandpa didn't let it. My daddy didn't let it. And I didn't let it. I just hope the one under me, when they take this throne, they don't let it. Because that's not what our family believes.
Starting point is 00:42:36 So we're asking 800-585-1051. What are your thoughts on exposing younger children to same-sex relationships? Do you agree? Do you disagree? You're just looking for chaos this morning. No, that's what we're asking. I mean, people have been calling ever since we played the audio of Boosie.
Starting point is 00:42:50 They've been, you know, using the contaminated word and how people feel. Contaminated was definitely the wrong word. That's a disgusting word to use about your child. It should have been influenced, not contaminated. You can't even influence somebody.
Starting point is 00:42:59 You're gay, you're gay. Yeah, you can't even... Well, you can. I think you can influence somebody if you're gay, but I do think you're... I think it's in you. Yeah, I think you're born... I definitely think you're born gay, but I definitely think you can influence people. Let's discuss when we come back.
Starting point is 00:43:11 800-585-1051. Have you ever been to a freak off? It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Daddy calling my phone. Tell her, tell her. Man, it's topic time call 800-585-1051 to join into the discussion with the breakfast club morning everybody it's dj nv jess hilarious charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club
Starting point is 00:43:39 jess is still on maternity leave and laura ross is filling in if you're just joining us we're asking 800-585-1051 what are your thoughts on exposing younger children to same-sex relationships now this comes from bussy and carisha they had a conversation and bussy was talking about his daughter let's listen so your daughter came out and told you she was gay it was nothing i mean she still can't bring her situation to our house. My daughter is wrong. Well, why is she wrong? Because I don't want it to contaminate her other.
Starting point is 00:44:09 I don't want her to get contaminated to her other six, seven sisters who look up to her. I want them to bring these grandchildren the right way. If I want grandchildren the right way, that's what I'm going to stand on. You know, if I don't want my other little girl to look at daddy say what's that daddy contaminated to somebody she looks up to it's not gonna come around my grandpa didn't let it my daddy didn't let it and i didn't let it i just hope the one under me when they take this wrong they don't let it because that's not what our family believe so 800-585-1051 let's start with you lauren what's your thoughts um i don't live because that's not what our family believes so 800-585-1051 let's start with you
Starting point is 00:44:46 lauren what's your thoughts um i don't know because now y'all in here influencing me to think something different but originally how i felt is that there's nothing wrong with it especially because they're going to get it outside of their household anyway i do think that there are some conversations that you should have about you know what they're seeing and the fact that they can make their own decisions that they don't have to choose something because they're seeing it every single day whether that works or not i don't know in my opinion i would think if you know who you are and what your sexuality is you you're gonna be cool but if you're a kid kind of coming up you're a child he's talking about children if you're gonna experiment in you're gonna do it anyway regardless
Starting point is 00:45:19 of what you see because kids are just curious sometimes um i think kids can be influenced on anything things that they might not have tried before or things that they might not have been interested in if they see it they can be influenced whether they are gay or not or whether it's something that they should be doing or not like i think that kids can be influenced do you think it's influenced though or do you think it's like okay this is okay in my household so i can explore it too if i want to to see if that's something i want to do is that different than influence because i think a lot of in our house like when we were growing up it wasn't as accepted to see that in your house so you didn't even talk about it if you were gay you had to hide it but now kids have two moms two dads sex wasn't okay in
Starting point is 00:45:57 my household regardless it didn't matter if it was same sex or man woman said it did not matter at all we did not talk about sex when it came on the screen or movies or anything people kissing my mother or father covered my eyes like it what like that's how it was regardless it didn't matter what it was um so yeah so i you know i think they covered my eyes because they didn't want me to be exposed so early and look and you still turned out gay so you know my thing is my thing is tell them about your influence you had. I don't have influences. My thoughts are they're going to be exposed to it, you know, and if they are exposed to it and they ask questions,
Starting point is 00:46:31 I'm going to give them answers, okay? That's really all you can do nowadays. I mean, I guess that's why we don't want teachers teaching our kids that. You know, we don't want them learning about it in school. You know, you don't want them necessarily seeing certain things on television at an early age. But, you know, things things like same-sex relationships they're probably going to see nowadays so if it's a thing that comes up and they got questions just provide them answers has this come up in your household yet yeah absolutely how do you have that conversation
Starting point is 00:46:58 i have an open relationship with my kids where i tell them everything and we have conversations about everything because i'd rather them learn from the house than learn from outside so i do feel like kids are influenced but you have to be able to have those open conversations now boosie doesn't want to have them open conversations with his children that's up to boosie because he's a father those are his kids but me i've had those conversations with my kids because they see it all over the place it's in cartoons not just you know gay set gay kissing and gay hugging and gay it's both both, both ways. So I want to- 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.

You're probably thinking, yay, I can finally buy a new phone. But you also have a lot of questions like, how should I be investing this money? I mean, how much do I save? And what about my 401k?

Starting point is 00:50:45 aka Your Rich BFF, to break it all down. I always get roasted on the internet when I say this out loud, but I'm like, every single year, you need to be asking for a raise of somewhere between 10 to 15%. I'm not saying you're gonna get 15% every single year, but if you ask for 10 to 15 and you end up getting eight,
Starting point is 00:51:03 that is actually a true raise. Listen to this week's episode of Let's Talk Offline on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

Explain to my kids what it is and me and my wife do that. The crazy thing is, now that you say it, my oldest daughter, you know, she's a cheerleader,
Starting point is 00:52:21 so she got male friends that are gay, and it's never been a conversation. It's just like, oh, such and such is gay. Like, it's not like she, she not asking us no questions about it. Like, that's just that person's lifestyle. That's what that person's about. Like, I've never had the conversation
Starting point is 00:52:35 other than, oh yeah, he's gay. It's a normal part of society now. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I haven't had that discussion. I just wonder like for younger kids, like, you know, when they see certain things and they want to know like, okay, like my friend has two moms. Why do I have a mom and a dad versus two moms?
Starting point is 00:52:49 And that's where the conversation comes from. Like, you know, I remember London came and says, hey, my my friend has two dads. Why? And you had to explain why. You know, I mean, those are conversations that we had early on when she was seven years old. Not, you know, when your daughter's in her teens. The reality is the same-sex relationship conversation is easy. It's that goddamn
Starting point is 00:53:06 72 gender list. That's the one that causes all the confusion. Because you don't understand. That's like new math. No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:53:15 That's like that new math these kids be bringing home. Daddy, what's the 72 gender thing? I don't know my damn thing. Because you don't understand because I don't understand either.
Starting point is 00:53:21 I don't know either. Then you got to tell me. I'll be like, tell me because I don't know. I know two flavors. All right? The 72 flavors that they got now, I don't know because I don't understand either. I don't know either. Then you got to tell me. I'll be like, tell me because I don't know. I know two flavors. All right? The 72 flavors that they got now, I don't know anything about that. Hello, who's this?
Starting point is 00:53:31 Tamika. Hey, Tamika. Good morning. Talk to us. What's your thoughts? I completely agree with Boosie. If you don't want bad influences in your home, then they shouldn't be there. It's just as simple as that.
Starting point is 00:53:42 He said he loved his daughter, but he just don't want it around his other kids. I'm a grown-up. I'm not gay, and I have other grown-ups trying to influence me to be gay, so I stay away from those grown-ups because I don't want that influence. I wouldn't want it around my children. Ma'am, listen to what we're talking about here. We're talking about a child and their siblings. How do you keep your child?
Starting point is 00:54:02 Why would you? You don't do that to your child. You don't keep them away from their siblings how do you keep your check why would you why would you you don't do that to your child you don't keep them away from these siblings and say hey this person is you know we're shunning this person because of their lifestyle you know but did he say that or did he just say he doesn't want the relationship in the house I don't think he might that's what I took from me yeah I think did yeah he didn't he didn't say he didn't want his daughter away from the siblings he just said you don't want want her bringing that relationship in his house. But if he's staying in the house, then that means that he's going to be protective over a lot of other stuff.
Starting point is 00:54:30 Because how do you control it? Even if it's outside the house, her girlfriend is going to be around. But you can't say you can't have the gay relationship in the house, but then the straight relationship you could have in the house. But that's why he gets so much backlash. There should be no relationship in the house if you don't want any influence on your kids. We don't know that. He might not should be no relationship in the house if you don't want any influence we don't know we don't know that we don't know he might not want uh them bringing girls into the house either the same one who said that he got his son the the the situation with the young with the girl i don't i don't know how that man parents his household
Starting point is 00:54:55 yeah i'm not i'm not i'm not i'm not accused i'm not gonna put that on i don't know how boozy parents i'm just going off of what he said i don't know how it is today who's this how you doing there sweetie hey sweetie good. What's your thoughts? I basically feel like there's nothing wrong with what he said. I know some people got an issue with him using the word contaminated, but contaminated, not agree with it. You know, I feel like it's all
Starting point is 00:55:15 the same thing. I feel like a lot of times people, they feel like, oh, if you don't agree with the lifestyle, then you don't love them. He still loves his child. He just doesn't want that around his other children. And I don't feel like there's nothing wrong with that. Okay. Thank you, sweetie. I think it's just the way you go about it.
Starting point is 00:55:31 The other thing is, too, is like, you know, like the young lady that first called, she used the term bad influence. Yeah, bad. So if you're gay, you don't want to think that your lifestyle is bad. Yeah. Like, you know, I don't want my guy, I don't want to see my kids don't want my guy i don't want to see my kids watching the drug dealers i don't want to see my kids watching the dudes that's you know
Starting point is 00:55:49 murdering people because they are a bad influence but you don't want to think you don't want to put gay in that bucket and bad right i agree yes 800-585-1051 bussy uh had an interview with carisha and he said this about his daughter. come to her.

My daddy didn't let it. And I didn't let it. I just hope the one under me, when they take this throne, they don't let it, because that's not what our family believes in.

Starting point is 00:58:16 Hey, Calvin, what's your thought? To be honest, that's honestly, he could go on to be doing that. That is like saying that all this crazy stuff. What's really blowing me is the fact of me. I lost my whole family to that
Starting point is 00:58:30 religion. Like my whole family turned their backs on me. And because you're gay. To be honest, my family, one of my
Starting point is 00:58:40 sisters, he strung out on drugs in jail. My brother got a felony up the ass where he couldn't even get a normal job. And yet, and still she's looking at me as a black sheep, even though I'm being more successful than any of them.
Starting point is 00:58:53 Can I ask you a question? I know you're gay, but why do you say like you first, you said he's blowing you. Then you said up the ass. Like what's going on here, buddy? Hey,

Starting point is 00:59:09 It ain't his fault. I'll be honest, man. I'm not going to put a word to it. I was just hearing about the situation. Calvin, we just messing with you, Calvin. No, because there's so many people saying that, oh, it's forced upon you. No, none of that is true. Okay? If people,
Starting point is 00:59:27 for the people that are saying that, they want to try it, or because of the group, the fan group, they can't. And it's getting frustrated because I see more and more people saying, oh, I don't mess with that. That's not my lifestyle. You better not force it on. But they're doing stuff behind closed doors.
Starting point is 00:59:43 Well, Calvin, I will say I disagree with you When you say that A lot of people That are against it Really want to try it I think that I think religion Plays a big part
Starting point is 00:59:52 In a lot of this And I think I think religion plays Religion plays a bigger part Than people want to admit I think a lot of people Just feel like you know They believe when the Bible
Starting point is 01:00:00 Says that it's an abomination Hello who's this? Jason Hey Jason What's your thoughts, bro? Yeah, man, I just feel like our kids are being influenced in many ways. You all right? Yeah. You cool?
Starting point is 01:00:20 Yup. Hello? He hung up. Calvin might have been right. He sounded like he just got... Nah, Jason, you know, on the sheet here, he said here don't say nothing crazy what is it no yeah i'm gonna say don't say nothing crazy show me show me and i want to see too then you look at it tell me what it say it's jason hold on let me see jason here oh yeah jason said he was approached by two men
Starting point is 01:00:44 growing up trying to take advantage of him. So he agrees with Boosie. Oh, okay, yeah. So why you hung up on him, Indy? He hung up. I didn't hang up on him. I was trying to take his phone. He probably realized he wasn't ready to have that conversation.
Starting point is 01:00:54 Yeah, he wasn't ready to have that conversation. And hear your jokes, because you would have found something out. I would not have found that funny. There was nothing funny about that. Hello, who's this? Yo, what's up? This is X from Pittsburgh.
Starting point is 01:01:05 Big match for Energy. X from Pittsburgh. What's up? Talk to us, brother. Man, who's this? Yo, what's up? This is X from Pittsburgh. Big Mac Truck Energy. X from Pittsburgh. What's up? Talk to us, brother. Man, what's going on? Hey, I think Boosie, man. He need media training. Why the hell does Boosie need media training?
Starting point is 01:01:16 Boosie's 42 years old. He doesn't need no media training. He say what's on his mind. Well, he could have deflected that question in any type of way because at the end of the day, that's family. So if somebody's going to ask you a question about your daughter, if she's gay or not, I'm sure NBR, y'all could have been like, yo, that's personal. That's right. Let's move on to the next question.
Starting point is 01:01:36 But that's why I said he don't need media training. He just needs to not put his family business on social media and in interviews. And that's why I said earlier, for all of us who are grown and have kids that are grown and we sharing the same spaces and the same social media platforms of these people we got to be mindful of each other and be mindful let's keep our family business in the house like that ain't for public consumption that's right I will say when Boosie was up here that's how we did the interview and he was talking about his other daughter and trying to make it to her I think it was a recital and just
Starting point is 01:02:01 the way he was talking about I'm like you don't get this from him online or whatever he's such a dad no you do no you don't you is all over his kids but his kids are there but hearing him here in person and the fact that he was he had to get out of here to make it to that recital and the way he was prioritizing that i don't think that i don't people don't talk about that enough lauren last week we just reported him and ti running up on these sons it's so different when you see it online versus when you're sitting right here with him and you're hearing him cancel interviews, I got to make it to the airport. I see it online all the time with Boosie. I say all that to say that I think for sure he will try and get it right with his baby.
Starting point is 01:02:35 Hello, who's this? Hi, this is T. Hey, good morning. What's your thoughts? I just think it's very weird for him to use the term contaminate. Even if he makes influence, I think that's weird because he has a bigger influence. Him himself, like Mr. Two Rambo kicking in the backseat. Are you not the reason that girls stay gay in the club and kiss and all that? How?
Starting point is 01:02:59 Yeah, I didn't like the word contaminate either. We actually had a conversation about that one time when Boosie was up here. We had this conversation about, uh, they d*** him. You remember that? See, y'all ain't from the South, so y'all don't remember Boosie's song,
Starting point is 01:03:09 they d*** him. Boosie had a song called They D*** Him. Oh, they bring the lyrics up every time he do stuff like what he did. Oh, they bring that song up? Oh, do they?
Starting point is 01:03:15 Oh, okay, okay, okay, okay. We got Sean on the line. Sean, good morning. Good morning. How you guys doing? Hey, what's your thought, Sean? I would definitely like to say I agree with Boosie.
Starting point is 01:03:24 It's a very tough situation he's in, but if he's listening, doing hey what's your thought sean uh i would definitely like to say i agree with booty it's a very tough situation again but um if he's listening i never heard a song that you've ever made but you have a new band for being a man okay all right well thank you sean that's all you got well i would like to ask a question to our people we're very emotional people but i would like to ask our people to think when does black lives really matter? Because we support, we're the only race that support things that lead to our demise.
Starting point is 01:03:51 We're the only race that does that. And it makes, it's just, I don't know why we just don't sit back and look at what we're supporting, what we're lobbying for. It's like no other race. We are racing to end our own people by what we're lobbying for. It's like no other race. We are racing to end our own people
Starting point is 01:04:08 by what we support and what we allow in our homes and in our children's lives. And I would just ask that we go to y'all and really find out who we are, not who we told we are. Is this in relation to the Boosie question? I mean, the Boosie conversation?
Starting point is 01:04:23 No, I mean, in general. Definitely about this conversation. Are you saying that gay people are leading toie question? I mean, the Boosie conversation? No, I mean, in general. Definitely about this conversation. I guess I'm asking, are you saying that gay people are leading to our demise? I'm confused. I'm saying that the hands down, the highest rate of HIV
Starting point is 01:04:35 we know are black males. Based off studies, two black men, you have a 50% chance of getting HIV. 50. you play russian brulette with me because that's what that is i don't know what he's talking about no more well thank you bro i was lost i was listening to him after but i i don't know what he's talking about all right well what's the moral of the story if there is a moral the moral of the story is man just keep
Starting point is 01:05:00 your family business off social media like like that's the biggest thing like if you're a parent you know and you got kids that are on social media man Like, that's the biggest thing. Like, if you're a parent, you know, and you got kids that are on social media, man, you and your kids should not be beefing online. Like, just keep all family business offline. I don't care if it's with your significant other, your spouse, like, just all family business, keep that offline.
Starting point is 01:05:19 That's how I be feeling. Especially something this sensitive. Yes. Absolutely. All right, well, we got Jets with the mess with Lawn LaRosa coming up. What're talking about we do we are going to get into kamala on all the smoke we got some clips um that we're going to be discussing and listening to okay we'll get into that next it's the breakfast club good morning morning everybody it's dj
Starting point is 01:05:36 nv jess hilarious charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club let's get to just with the mess with lauren la rosa newsala Harris sat down with All The Smoke and they talked about a bunch of different things. We have some clips for the guys. This airs at 10 a.m. Eastern Standard Time, correct? Yes. Well, yes. It comes up on their YouTube,
Starting point is 01:06:19 on All The Smoke's YouTube channel. The audio is out now on the Black Fat Guy Heart Radio Podcast Network. Got you. So they discussed a bunch of different stuff. one of the things and one of the topics they got into was being biracial and and you know um just how kamala deals with that her thoughts on it but also um just the world around her being in in how people throw different things onto her about race let's take a listen i grew up italian mom dad, and was always very proud of my heritage until an incident
Starting point is 01:06:47 I had in high school when I was 17, protecting my little sister. Someone called her some names. I did what the big brother did. I ended up getting in trouble and the KKK came and vandalized, nearly burned down my high school. And I knew at that point, although I was very proud to be Italian and black, that the world looked at me as a black man. What do you feel or what do you think when you hear people kind of questioning just the fabric of who you are? Well, one, I don't listen to it. I'm really clear about who I am. And if anybody else is not, they need to go through their own level of therapy.
Starting point is 01:07:18 That's not my issue. My mother was very clear. She was raising two black girls to be too proud, proud black women. Over the years, journalists will want to talk about it. And I say, OK, if you want to have this conversation, I'm prepared to have it. Yeah. So then, well, first of all, I thought that that was interesting because I have a biracial friend. I remember the day I was with her and we were in a parking lot and she took a woman's parking space and the woman called her the N-word. And she was so pissed off. And she was telling me that like stuff like that happened to her all the
Starting point is 01:07:48 time when she was growing up and that's when she realized she was black because she never really knew the difference because she she if you saw her you wouldn't think she's black um so i always wonder like for biracial kids what was that moment where you're like oh i'm still black um but they also talked about uh kamala and you know the fact fact that Kamala and Doug have a blended family and her being a stepmom. I am a daughter of divorced parents. My parents were divorced when I was five. When Doug and I started dating, you know, his parents have been married over 60 years. I had to explain to him what it is like to be a child of divorced parents,
Starting point is 01:08:22 including that it was really important to me that I knew what he and my relationship would be before I formed a relationship with the kids. Not fair to the children because, you know, children form attachments. I was very intentional about waiting until I knew that, okay, this is a real relationship before I got to know the kids. And then we became, I mean, thick as thieves. And I love those children. They are my children. Now, they also have a conversation on her mental health. You guys know that Kamala gets a lot thrown at her. So they just talk about how she deals with all of that and what her advice
Starting point is 01:09:00 is to people who are trying to figure out how I deal with things that have been thrown at me. Let's take a listen to this. How do you protect your mental health and your mental space? Well, number one rule, don't read the comments. They're nasty. I work out every morning. I work out every morning. For me, it's just mind, body, and spirit. I think it's really important for everybody. We all have our levels of strength everybody does right be intentional about who you have in your life to the extent you can do you have people in your life who applaud your success do you have people in your life who you trust do you have people in your life who when you trip and fall they laugh with you and then they pick you up and push you back
Starting point is 01:09:41 out there y'all i think that this interview honestly so far in my opinion the interviews i've watched of kamala i enjoyed the oprah one most because i feel like that moment where she talked about having a gun in her house was like that was off the cuff that was how she really felt that was her response in real time those are her best moments those are always her best moments i don't feel like we're getting that yet and i thought maybe this might be it because these people are like you know like they are normal people they're athletes they live a life they whatever but i don't know you didn't get it i didn't get it no that's not gonna listen to that i got i definitely got that from this conversation because you know the the way she answered the biracial question the way she answered the the one we just not the mental
Starting point is 01:10:19 health and the one but what does when we play the uh kamala um being a stepmother yeah she was definitely being herself i think well maybe then it's because oprah's a woman maybe like it's manufactured answers not manufactured i just felt like she i don't know just wasn't like when i watched her with oprah i was like man like this is the interview they should have led way i felt like i know her this is my auntie this is my mom this is my i'm gonna listen to the watch the full thing today yeah she had a lot more scripted moments on the over a conversation you felt like that yes i felt like she was comfortable she was home i'm gonna go and listen to the fool but from the from the clips i heard she didn't even mention being in the middle class not one time on the all the smoke interview not even well we have an economy clip not even when she talked about it
Starting point is 01:10:59 she didn't speak of being coming from a middle house family and all. You know, that wasn't her time. She didn't do that at all. That little jab she be hitting him with. That's right. It's not a jab. It's just a scripted. It's a talking point that she goes to all the time. Well, okay. So, yeah.
Starting point is 01:11:14 But it's out now. You can take a listen to the full. We will take a listen to the full. But moving on, Diddy, back in the news again. Jesus. Oh, wait, 759? You got it, guys. No, every time y'all tell me, do I get in trouble? No, I got to break this down. You need at least 69 seconds to talk about Diddy, back in the news again. Jesus. Oh, it's 7.59. You got it, go ahead. No, every time you tell me, do I get in trouble?
Starting point is 01:11:25 Is that long? No, I got to break this down. You need at least 69 seconds to talk about Diddy. Oh, 69 seconds? To talk about Diddy, to everything with Diddy. Is it long? It's what long, Envy? Never mind.
Starting point is 01:11:35 All right. What are we referencing? That is just what the mess with Lawn and Rosa. Charlamagne! I want to tell y'all, too. Make sure you pick up the All the Smoke Coffee Table. I just got mine. What's your date?

She got about 50 of them. It's multiple shirts. You didn't say that. Okay.

Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist who on October 16th, 2017, was murdered.
Starting point is 01:13:18 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 unhearts the plot to murder a one-woman Wikileaks.

On my podcast, A Slight Change of Plans, I marry science and storytelling to better understand
Starting point is 01:14:11 how to navigate the big changes in our lives. It was like a slow nightmare, you know, because every day you think, oh, surely tomorrow I'll be better. And I would dream of being better. At night I would dream that my face was quote-unquote normal or back to the way it was, and I'd wake up and there'd be no change. I also speak with scientists about how we can be more resilient in the face of change. You can think of the adolescent brain as like the social R&D engine of our culture,
Starting point is 01:14:42 that something that looks like risky and idiotic to us is maybe their way of creatively trying to solve the problem of having social success and fewer of the things that bring you social failure.

I always get roasted on the internet when I say this out loud, but I'm like, every single year you need to be asking for a raise of somewhere between 10 to 15%. I'm not saying you're going to get 15% every single year, but if you ask for 10 to 15 and you end up getting eight, that is actually a true raise.

Starting point is 01:18:15 from Monday, September 30th, goes to Darian Urban and Chalene Ellers. They are a couple from Arkansas that is accused of trying to sell their two-month-old baby for a six-pack of beer and a thousand dollars. Let's go to CBS News 5 for the report, please. Now to a disturbing, developing story out of Bentonville. Two parents are accused of trying to sell their baby at a campground over the weekend. Darian Urban and Chalene Ellers were arrested on Saturday. According to investigators, they tried to sell their two-month-old for $1,000 and a six-pack of beer.
Starting point is 01:18:50 A person who learned about it called authorities. Bend County deputies then arrested the couple, made sure that baby was safe, who was then taken to the hospital. Both parents are being held in the Bend County Jail. Now I know what y'all are thinking. What? What kind of beer was it? I swear to God I are thinking what what kind of beer was i swear to god i was thinking that oh my god no i swear to god i'm like what kind of beer was it i was what kind of beer was it okay yo what kind of beer was i wasn't thinking that i that
Starting point is 01:19:16 no i wasn't thinking that i was but i'm not a parent so hey don't judge me i was just joking i was thinking that what i actually was thinking was it blue moon ew that's what you drink i like blue moon with orange delaware i'm dirty delaware my god oh well what i was actually thinking was uh jesus not coming back okay for what i mean when i was young i had a red honda civic little hatchback joint i'm'm driving on 17 Amos Corner, and I didn't change the oil. And so one night, the engine locked up on me, and I left that Honda Civic on the side of the road. Just left it. I think I ended up getting towed to some compound, and I just never went back for it. I couldn't afford to get the engine fixed anyway, so I just left it.
Starting point is 01:19:57 That's how God feels about Earth. Okay, he created something that was meant for good, but then he gave this creation called humans free will, and they've been making poor choices ever since okay now this couple is 21 and 20 years old and they tried to sell their baby for a six pack of bed a thousand dollars life means absolutely nothing to some humans do you hear what i just said life means absolutely nothing to some humans what i don't understand is what's wrong with adoption? OK, research some adoption agencies, choose the type of adoption you want, create an adoption plan. Hell, I'm sure your primary care doctor could have helped you with that. But what am I saying? Anyone who tries to sell their baby for a six pack of beer and a thousand dollars doesn't have a primary care doctor.
Starting point is 01:20:37 OK, we really have to stop letting people breed simply for the sake of breeding. We have all these conversations about what it should take for a person to buy a gun i feel that way about breeding okay i don't know how you could control it but we need some systems in place that can straight up tell people when they get pregnant based off who they are or what they are okay your child needs to come with us all right don't even worry about it as soon as you have the baby we we got it from here. Okay. Listen to this man. Chalene Ellis told the man and another person that it was not working. Having three dogs and a baby. Well, get rid of the damn dogs.
Starting point is 01:21:13 Okay. What world are we in? When a mother says, I would rather have three dogs than be responsible for this baby. Do you know how many women are busting their ass to have kids spending all types of money on IVF and you have the blessing of a baby and're just trying to sell it for a thousand dollars and a six pack of beer they even did paperwork okay the news report says uh there was a letter that says i darian urban and chalene ellis are signing our rights over to and the name is redacted of our baby boy for a
Starting point is 01:21:42 thousand dollars on 9 21 uh 2024 the letter was signed by the couple and included a disclaimer that read after signing this there will be no changing y'all tools minds and to never contact again when authorities spoke to the couple urban and ellis they said the baby was undergoing an adoption why the hell couldn't y'all do an adoption for real authorities even recovered a cell phone video of the couple signing the letter. And the couple said they recorded it because they plan to legalize the adoption on Monday. I don't understand how humans waste good time and energy doing the wrong thing when they could just spend that time and energy doing the right thing. If you're going through all of this to illegally sell your baby, why not go through the process of doing legal adoption papers and just give the baby
Starting point is 01:22:27 up in a real way and y'all think jesus coming back to this really please give darian urban and chalene ellis the sweet sounds of the hamiltons oh now you are the donkey of the day. You are the donkey of the day. Yee-haw. Yee-haw. What, Hope? What? Want to play a game?

We've been living with each other for longer than a year but there was a year where the sex just wasn't nowhere near what it used to be. So you knew the relationship was over right then and there?
Starting point is 01:28:07 You was just waiting for the lease to be over? Not even, no, I wasn't just waiting.

On my podcast, A Slight Change of Plans, I marry science and storytelling to better understand how to navigate the big changes in our lives. It was like a slow nightmare, you know, because every day you think, oh, surely tomorrow I'll
Starting point is 01:39:22 be better. And I would dream of being better. At night I would dream that my face was quote-unquote normal or back to the way it was. And I'd wake up and there'd be no change. I also speak with scientists about how we can be more resilient in the face of change. You can think of the adolescent brain as like the social R&D engine of our culture. That something that looks like risky and idiotic to us is maybe their way of creatively trying to solve the problem of having social success and fewer of

But you also have a lot of questions like, how should I be investing this money? I mean, how much do I save? And what about my 401k? Well, we're talking with finance expert Vivian
Starting point is 01:40:30 Toot, aka Your Rich BFF, to break it all down. I always get roasted on the internet when I say this out loud, but I'm like, every single year you need to be asking for a raise of somewhere between 10 to 15%. I'm not saying you're going to get 15% every single year, but if you ask for 10 to 15 and you end up getting eight, that is actually a true raise. Listen to this week's episode of Let's Talk Offline on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, I'm Jacqueline Thomas, the host of a brand new Black Effect original series, Black Lit, the podcast for diving deep into the rich world of Black literature.

Starting point is 01:41:59 Do we have Jess with the Mets for Lawn and Roses coming up? We do. Shoot. All right, we'll get to that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to Jess with the Mess with Lauren LaRosa.
Starting point is 01:42:15 News is real. Webster's is real. Lauren's, Jessica Robin Moore. Jess don't do no lying. Don't do no lying. She don't spare nobody. Worldwide Jess. Worldwide Jess. Worldwide Matt.
Starting point is 01:42:28 On The Breakfast Club. The Coaches Show. With Lauren. Lauren LaRosa. And I got the man. Talk to me. LL Cool Bay. Yo.
Starting point is 01:42:39 You happy for me? I don't know what you're talking about. Why? I don't know. Just him being happy. I'm just setting you up, LL Cool Bay. just him being happy it just it's just a change of it's a change of events so i just needed to know well in the third hour we're going to be discussing uh diddy right now so there have been some updates you guys know we've been on the diddy trail
Starting point is 01:42:57 um and the last time we talked about this diddy was on suicide watch there was a lot happening um now diddy is no longer on Suicide Watch. Fox News is reporting that they received a statement that that is over and that he actually has been able to visit some family. We do not know which family members that is that have been able to visit him. I did reach out and ask the question of who has been able to visit him. How long was the visit? Was it through the class? Were they able to actually talk, hug, all of that stuff stuff but i have not received a response back so once we get that
Starting point is 01:43:27 we'll be updating you guys um but i thought that that was a big development and the suicide watch thing was just protocol it was protocol but you know i think that there are you know in order to get off of it there are i'm sure checks that they do to make sure you're straight um and they also issued out some statements his attorney did and his attorney attorney is getting dragged online, by the way. There were some statements that his attorney issued basically saying, you know, Diddy is in good spirits. He's going to fight his case. If he is offered a plea, he is not going to take the plea because he wants to fight until the end. He feels like he's doing that for people who are also going to be fighting, I guess, different legal issues or whatever.
Starting point is 01:44:02 So he's in good spirits and all as well. He's been able to see his family and i know that at one point they had um had some conversations about uh if diddy's side of of the court wanted a venue change for like diddy to be in a different jail whatever and they said no he's fine where he's at i think that's because he's able to see his family and stuff here in new york what are other people gonna start getting picked up because this is a racketeering case right i've never seen a racketeering case with just one person. We got to get some other names. So there were reports over the weekend, too, that the member we talked about that video that the sex worker submitted in some other different videos that were, I guess, coming out. There were reports that there were some high profile celebrity individual or a celebrity individual in one of those videos.
Starting point is 01:44:41 But they're not. They haven't dropped any names. Is this weird that they would do a racketeering case and nobody else has been picked up yet well we had that conversation people are arguing there are still people out here wholeheartedly arguing that diddy is just being targeted that the the prosecution has nothing but we don't know until they makes it the court and all the discovery is done and all that stuff so that's when i guess that we'll get you know some names maybe they're trying to get diddy to speak on other people we don't know are they trying to see who's going to start scrambling?
Starting point is 01:45:05 Oh yeah. No, for real. Cause like, you know, you pick Diddy up and then, you know, all of these names start flying around and then people start sending text
Starting point is 01:45:12 messages, not realizing that their phone just tapped. Honestly, the prosecution, they need stuff like that because Diddy saying, I'm sending 10 toes down, I'm going to fight. But if you can get people close to him that can corroborate certain things that can provide evidence that's how they win the case so maybe that maybe they trying to
Starting point is 01:45:28 do a shakedown who knows we don't know until it makes it to court right um now at the same time that all this is happening there was another woman a jane doe who filed another lawsuit um a civil suit um on friday now in this civil suit this woman alleged that she was repeatedly assaulted over a four-year period she says that she ended up pregnant in this civil suit, this woman alleged that she was repeatedly assaulted over a four year period. She says that she ended up pregnant in the midst of all of this but suffered a miscarriage. So for background, she said that she met Diddy in
Starting point is 01:45:53 2020 overseas and then later was invited to an all expense paid trip which kind of started the relationship that they had. She says that she started seeing him once per month from 2021 to 2022. She would fly to his homes in la miami and new york she says that actually she didn't go to these homes because she just wanted to be there that she was actually forced by combs and his staff via coercive and
Starting point is 01:46:15 harassing language it doesn't specify what that language is she says in april 2022 during one of the meetings uh she was this is like one of the meetups i guess at one of the meetings, she was, this is like one of the meetups, I guess, at one of the homes or whatever. One of her drinks was actually spiked and she was forced to have sex. She says in July of 2022, she was forced to take ketamine and other drugs. She blacked out. She was in and out of consciousness. And then she took a pregnancy test after this. And that's when she found out she was pregnant. She also alleges that again in 2022, she left Diddy's house in Miami
Starting point is 01:46:46 and there were purple bruises and a bite mark on her foot and her feet. And she had no idea of where they came from. And she specifies that after she found out that she was pregnant, Combs and his team and various other people harassed her to get an abortion, but she ended up suffering a miscarriage anyway.
Starting point is 01:47:03 After she lost the baby, she attempted to get space from diddy and not speak to him for about like three months she said this lasted uh but she says combs constant harassment via calls and texts and even somehow finding a way to monitor her location soon resumed in late 2022 and continued through july 2024 um she says that every time they met up she was required to perform a show and that show consumed during that show she would have to consume alcohol and other substances uh she feared for her safety she's alleging and she said that she's seen the right the the rapper slap and abuse other women now she's saying because of this trauma she suffered
Starting point is 01:47:42 financial injury and physical injury and she's seeking an unspecified amount in damages and you said that she lives overseas right they met overseas it doesn't specify where she actually lives but she says that they met overseas and in between that time they begin to see each other at all of his homes here in the states and she is a jane doe so i don't know who the woman is that followed this to be able to answer that question i don't want to that sounds like the movie blink twice have you seen blink twice i haven't seen blink twice yet i don't i don't want to victim blame but i was just curious yes you do no not at all but when somebody says they flew in every month if the person was harassing them or hurting them or something every month wouldn't they have stopped i'm just asking i don't know i don't know if that's in the in the document there's one point
Starting point is 01:48:21 um and i did not so this one is a little bit i've been i've been trying to get my hand on these documents because there's a lot of questions that i have and we're going to actually get into that tomorrow because i'm gonna make sure i get these documents today i've reached out to the attorney that filed them i've done all of my due diligence to make sure that i get correct documents because what i have right now is not full so i don't want to speak to what i don't know okay um but there are parts in the document uh that have also been reported where she says that she was threatened different things. So basically, she was afraid of his power, his influence.
Starting point is 01:48:50 So I don't know if that goes into it or not. But yeah. All right. Well, thank you. You're welcome. Dang, it's over? This be going so fast. Did his stuff just be?
Starting point is 01:49:01 Oh, I thought you were talking about those four relationships you was in throughout your life. Never mind. Thank you, Lauren. I don't even have nothing to say. Just let it go. I can't let certain stuff go. We were just having a conversation off air, too. I thought you were getting a flashback.
Starting point is 01:49:18 I'm sorry. Remember what that lady said to you at Walgreens? Shout out to her. I met this wonderful, I didn't even ask her her name, but she was an older black woman and she told me, honestly,
Starting point is 01:49:29 she really wants to slap you too, Charlamagne. Get in line. Yeah, she don't like the way that you be coming for me, but she told me when I'm on this radio, I got to affirm the man
