Leather appointed seats are optional features. This is America. There is no question that there are problems in this country between police and community. Yes, you are a dunk to the latest on that police killing of a black man. Now to new developments in the deadly spa shooting rampage. And yesterday was a really bad day for him. And this is what he did.
DJ Envy
And so we are in a state of emergency.
Charlamagne Tha God
Okay? White supremacist violence is and always have been the number one threat to our society.
Angela Yee
But I'm also very proud that my wife is white.
Charlamagne Tha God
The Breakfast Club, bitches. All right, Charlene, please tell me, why was I your donkey of the day? Donkey of the day for Thursday, June 12. Lil Duvall's born Day. Dropping the clues bomb for Lil Duvall. Yes, we are not living our best lives right now, okay? Because donkey of the day is going to the Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard. Or maybe donkey of the day should go to corporate media. Or maybe donkey of the day should go to we the people for being so preoccupied with things that have zero impact on our lives. Lives that we don't pay attention to all the grave dangers that are right under our noses. Okay? If ignorance is bliss, I don't know why everybody isn't more happy. Because I strive to be optimistic. I grew up on the sounds of blackness, baby, as long as you keep your head to the sky. But we also gotta be realistic about the things that are going on in the world. And yesterday, while you were busy watching AI videos of gorillas hosting podcasts, talking about fighting 100 men, the director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, was releasing a video warning us of nuclear annihilation. I'm not making any of this up. Let's listen.
Tulsi Gabbard
As we stand here today, closer to the brink of nuclear annihilation than ever before, political elite and warmongers are carelessly fomenting fear and Tensions between nuclear powers. So it's up to us, the people, to speak up and demand an end to this madness.
Charlamagne Tha God
What?
Tulsi Gabbard
We must reject this path to nuclear war and work toward a world where no one has to live in fear of a nuclear holocaust.
Charlamagne Tha God
Huh? Am I the only person that finds this unusual? Am I the only person who saw this video and first had to determine if it was AI or not? But then once I realized it wasn't, it's real. It came from her Twitter account and all the so called reputable news sources, the ABC News and msnbc, Bloomberg Politico, NBC News, everybody was posting about it. But after I watched it, I was left sitting there scratching my head, wondering, why was that just released on Twitter? Tulsi, you can't just post that like it's a regular real and walk away. This is how my algorithm is set up. Okay? I got a video of a black man sitting in the car with the caption, in the 90s, they had us thinking Lil Kim was the biggest freaking bad boy. Whole time it was Diddy, right? Then another video. Akasa not trying to help Drew ski holla at Kiki Palmer. Then a post from Tyler Perry saying he made more black millionaires than any other studio in Hollywood from the BET Awards. Then video of Pastor Tory Roberts working out in the gym. Then a video of Lauren LaRosa walking around in just stockings and a Steve Harvey blazer. Then boom. Tulsi telling us we all gonna die. I understand social media is the new way to communicate, but dear government officials, some messages gotta be packaged a different way. You can't drop this on the timeline and just walk off. Tulsi, okay? You are the Director of National Intelligence. You know things that we don't know. We have watched all these billionaires, from Mark Zuckerberg to Bill Gates to Larry Ellison all build these underground bunker. Okay? I've been reading about them for years building these luxurious underground bunkers, and they're doing it as a form of apocalyptic insurance. And here you got Tulsi put a 3 minute and 31 second video on Twitter. I only played y' all about 51 seconds, but the video is like 3:30. And she's telling us that political elite and warmongers are carelessly fomenting fear intentions between nuclear powers. I didn't even know what the definition of foaming was. I had to look it up. Okay, Tulsi, why are you using big words at a time like this? And for those who want to know, fomenting means instigating, stirring things up Tulsi, just say that. Okay? Political elite and warmongers are instigating and stirring things up, and they don't care because they have access to nuclear shelters for themselves and for their families. Okay, Tulsi, I know I'm stupid, okay? I tell y' all all the time, I'm not the highest grade of weed in the dispensary, nor am I the strongest avenger. But correct me if I'm wrong, aren't you the political elite? You are the Director of National Intelligence, okay? The principal advisor to the President, the principal advisor to the National Security Council and Homeland Security. So you should be telling all the other political elite people, you should be telling them and all the warmongers to stop. Stop instigating whatever has us on the brink of nuclear annihilation. Play the clip again, Red, Please play it again, one time for me.

Charlamagne Tha God
Tulsi, Tulsi, Tulsi, Tulsi. You're the Director of National Intelligence. The reason I'm giving you donkey of the day is because what are we the people, supposed to do with this information? Okay, see, this is what I be talking about. Government officials have one job when it comes to the American people. Put money in our pocket and make us feel safe. We are supposed to be out here living our best life while y' all handle stuff like threats of nuclear war. But yet we got the Director of National Intelligence telling us that we need to speak up and demand an end to this madness. Tulsi, nuclear war is too serious for a tweet and a call to action. Okay? A video on X and a call to action for we the people to just say stop. That's all it takes, is for us to reject this path to nuclear war and work toward a world where no one has to live in fear of a nuclear holocaust. Well, Tulsi, I can assure you none of us want that, okay? We don't have to reject it. We never wanted it to be an option in the first place, but I guess, you know, now it is, and you want us to fix it. Please give Tulsi Gabbard, the Director of National Intelligence, the biggest hee haw Tulsi I need you on somebody's TV network this morning, okay? You have to explain this. Tell us what you know, okay? If someone is planning to let a nuke fly, it is your job to tell the world. Don't give us half the information. Tell us what's going on, damn it. Okay. Give us time to repent for our sins. Okay? People want to get baptized. Give me time to make peace with some people. Okay, Lauren LaRosa got to get the pants for the rest of the outfit she wore at the BET Awards. Okay? You can't just walk up to me, Tulsi, and say you gonna die and walk away. No. Excuse me, ma' am. I got some questions.
Angela Yee
She said, all we have to say is stop. And just stop.
DJ Envy
What the hell? Does Lauren LaRosa not have it on? No pants? He awards have to do with this?
Angela Yee
See, that's the problem. That's all she caught. See, she only caught. She didn't catch the nuke.
Charlamagne Tha God
She didn't catch the dodge.
Angela Yee
She didn't catch the. Stop. She didn't catch the. We're about to. It's over. All she caught was Lauren Rose didn't have any pants on at the bet.
DJ Envy
No, he's supposed to be. This is a teachable moment. You supposed to be teaching us that. It was a public service announcement. A big this is a teachable moment announcement. Right.
Charlamagne Tha God
The teachable moment is you could still.
DJ Envy
Think about Lauren not having on no damn pants.
Charlamagne Tha God
Well, listen.
DJ Envy

Charlamagne Tha God
Well, okay, we don't need a nuke, but we do need a missile to hit her closet. That's it.
Angela Yee

DJ Envy

She can start anew. Crazy. Start anew.
Angela Yee

The Breakfast Club Podcast Summary
Episode: DONKEY: Tulsi Gabbard Warns Of ‘Nuclear Holocaust’ In Social Media Video
Release Date: June 12, 2025
Host: iHeartPodcasts with DJ Envy, Angela Yee, and Charlamagne Tha God
In this episode of The Breakfast Club, host Charlamagne Tha God introduces a significant and alarming topic that has been circulating on social media: a video released by Tulsi Gabbard, the Director of National Intelligence, warning of an impending nuclear holocaust. The discussion rapidly evolves into a critical analysis of the message's delivery, the credibility of the source, and the broader implications for society.
The episode kicks off with Charlamagne presenting Tulsi Gabbard’s concerning message:
Tulsi Gabbard [02:10]: "As we stand here today, closer to the brink of nuclear annihilation than ever before, political elite and warmongers are carelessly fomenting fear and tensions between nuclear powers. So it's up to us, the people, to speak up and demand an end to this madness."
Charlamagne expresses his disbelief and confusion upon viewing the video:
Charlamagne Tha God [02:40]: "Am I the only person that finds this unusual? ... After I watched it, I was left sitting there scratching my head, wondering, why was that just released on Twitter?"
He questions the appropriateness of such a grave message being disseminated through a social media platform without proper context or urgency.
Charlamagne delves deeper into his skepticism about Tulsi Gabbard's approach:
Charlamagne Tha God [03:10]: "Tulsi, you can't just post that like it's a regular reel and walk away. This is how my algorithm is set up."
He highlights the incongruity between the seriousness of the message and the casual nature of social media posts, emphasizing the potential lethality of such a communication method in conveying urgent national security threats.
Moreover, Charlamagne draws attention to the juxtaposition of the alarming warning with trivial social media content:
Charlamagne Tha God [04:00]: "But after I watched it, I was left sitting there scratching my head... Then I've seen all these billionaires... building these underground bunkers... Tulsi put a 3 minute and 31 second video on Twitter."
This comparison underscores his frustration with the distraction of superficial content overshadowing critical concerns.
Expressing frustration over the lack of comprehensive information, Charlamagne urges Tulsi Gabbard to provide more details:
Charlamagne Tha God [04:54]: "If someone is planning to let a nuke fly, it is your job to tell the world. Don't give us half the information. Tell us what's going on, damn it."
He criticizes the brevity and ambiguity of the video, calling for a more transparent and direct communication from a high-ranking official regarding national security threats.
To reinforce the gravity of Tulsi Gabbard’s warning, the hosts replay her message:
Tulsi Gabbard [05:29]: "As we stand here today, closer to the brink of nuclear annihilation than ever before, political elite and warmongers are carelessly fomenting fear and tensions between nuclear powers. So it's up to us, the people, to speak up and demand an end to this madness. We must reject this path to nuclear war and work toward a world where no one has to live in fear of a nuclear holocaust."
Charlamagne emphasizes the weight of her words and the urgency they should carry.
Shifting from the heavy topic, the conversation takes a lighter turn as the hosts discuss Lauren LaRosa’s controversial outfit at the BET Awards:
Charlamagne Tha God [07:44]: "She didn't catch the nuke. She didn't catch the dodge."
Angela Yee [07:53]: "See, she only caught. See, she didn’t catch the nuke."
The banter humorously juxtaposes the dire warning with the focus on a celebrity's fashion choice, highlighting the often skewed priorities in public discourse.
As the episode wraps up, Charlamagne reiterates his concerns and the need for actionable transparency:
Charlamagne Tha God [05:59]: "If someone is planning to let a nuke fly, it is your job to tell the world."
He calls for Tulsi Gabbard to take responsibility in addressing the nation’s severe security issues beyond a mere social media post.
Tulsi Gabbard [02:10]: "As we stand here today, closer to the brink of nuclear annihilation than ever before..."
Charlamagne Tha God [02:40]: "Am I the only person that finds this unusual?... Why was that just released on Twitter?"
Charlamagne Tha God [04:54]: "Don't give us half the information. Tell us what's going on, damn it."
Tulsie Gabbard [05:29]: "We must reject this path to nuclear war and work toward a world where no one has to live in fear of a nuclear holocaust."
This episode of The Breakfast Club delves into the alarming warning issued by Tulsi Gabbard regarding nuclear threats, scrutinizing the method of communication and the necessity for more substantial dialogue from government officials. While the hosts engage in their characteristic banter, the core conversation emphasizes the critical need for transparency and proactive measures in addressing global security concerns.
