Good morning. Let's get in some front page news now over the weekend. Saturday, Terence Crawford beat Canelo Alvarez by unanimous decision. He won the undisputed super Middleweight world.

[DJ Envy]

It wasn't that. He just. I wasn't. It was a pick me fight for me, Right? But it was the ease that Terence Crawford ended up beating Canelo Alvarez with was. Was impressive.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I knew Bud.

[DJ Envy]

I had.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I had my. I ain't gonna say my money on, but on Bud. But I bet on Bud. I knew Bud was gonna take this One. So congratulations.

[DJ Envy]

He was very comfortable. You know, Canelo was getting upset. Yeah, he was. I never, I had never seen him fight.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I just heard about him.

[DJ Envy]

But he was getting pissed off. Yeah, he could not catch that guy. I mean, and the fact that Bud went up, what, three weight classes?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Three weight classes?

[DJ Envy]

Well, two. Two from his last fight.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Two fight before this one.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, but he won a different weight classes before, right? Oh, yeah. Three time undisputed champion.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It was just a late fight. That fight happened so late.

[DJ Envy]

Definitely late. I was able to watch it after my Saturday show. I'm like, damn, it's still on past 12 night. 1212 midnight.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And I was still watching it. All right, in football, Cowboys beat the Giants. You know that. Seahawks beat the Steelers. Rams beat the Titans. Patriots beat the Dolphins. 49ers beat the Saints. The Lions beat the Bears.

[DJ Envy]

The Ravens beat the Browns. Stop disrespecting me. I.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Can I get to it. The Ravens beat the Browns, the Bills beat the Jets. The Bengals beat the Jaguars. Eagles beat the Chiefs, and the Falcons beat the Vikings. All right, now tonight, Tampa Bay Buccaneers will play Houston and the Chargers play the Raiders. What's up, T?

[Teslin Figaro]

What's going on? Hey, Jess. Hilarious Charlamagne, the guy. Good morning, T. Well, let's get straight into it, guys. So over the weekend, well, actually on Friday, we know that the killer that killed Charlie Kirk is now in custody. Now after 33 hour manhunt. @ a news conference on Friday morning, officials identified the person in custody as 22 year old Tyler Robinson. Now, authorities did not find Robinson on their own. Robinson's father identified him from the photos circulated by the FBI. The sources added that the 22 year old confessed to his father who urged him to turn himself in. Now, according to his father, Robinson said that he would rather commit suicide than surrender.

[DJ Envy]

So.

[Teslin Figaro]

So then his father called the family friend who is a youth pastor, and then together they called the US Marshals. So there was a press conference as well. And the Utah Republican governor Spencer Cox had this to say. Take a listen.

[DJ Envy]

For 33 hours, I was praying that if this had to happen here, that it wouldn't be one of us. That somebody drove from another state, somebody came from another country. Sadly, that, that, that prayer was not answered the way I had hoped for. Now guys, a lot of folks like that he said that he wanted to be somebody from another country. They skipped over the part that he said he wanted it to be somebody from another state.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I didn't even see that part. How about that clip when he said, I wish it was somebody from another country.

[Teslin Figaro]

Well, it actually was not somebody from another country. It was somebody from Utah. And they did recover the weapon, guys, and I kind of wanted to go over this a little bit. It was an older model Mauser bolt action rifle. And if you look it up, you'll see that it has a scope on it. A lot of the Youtubians, you know, over the weekend were, you know, doing all these different videos on how it had to be a sniper. It had to be some type of high level training. So I want people to know that. Tom Cheatham, a former ATF Associate Deputy Director said you do not need to be an expert to take this long shot, just practice. He used military basic training as an example. He said that soldiers with no experience are trained to hit targets over 325 yards. We know that the suspect was about 150 yards away from Kirk. Now I want to be clear guys, he's not saying that this guy went to the military. He's not saying Robinson went to the military. He just wanted to use that as an example because a lot of folks were making, you know, making all these assumptions. And I just want to say as a veteran, an M60 gunner, I completely agree guys, you do not have to be a sniper to take that long shot. So let's just continue to wait for the evidence to come out, you know, to see who else possibly could have been involved. But I think that's important, you know, because there again, there are a lot of conspiracy theories online. Remember guys, basic training is just six weeks. So when I went into the military, I had zero experience at all. And we are hitting center mass by the end of that six week training and with that type of distance.

[DJ Envy]

And Tyler, I mean he was, he had hunting experience, right? They said he used to go out hunting with his father.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, there was pictures of him as a kid holding rifles. So yeah, he's, he's been shooting for a long time.

[Teslin Figaro]

And then one other thing. Governor Spencer Cox was on ABC yesterday providing additional information that Tyler Robinson did not confess directly to authorities as of now. The governor said that Robinson's live in romantic partner is the one who is cooperating with authorities. Take a listen to what he had.

[DJ Envy]

To say and anything new on the investigation. You say he admitted that confessed? No, not, not again. He is, he has not confessed to, to authorities. He is, he, is he cooperating? But all the people around him are cooperating and I think that's very important. There were reports yesterday that we can confirm that his roommate was indeed A boyfriend who is transitioning from male to female. That's information that the FBI had mentioned yesterday. We can confirm that as well. And that he is cooperating with authorities as well. He sound a bit nervous there. You sound real nervous saying that.

[Teslin Figaro]

Definitely talking over his words. Now, the formal charges will be tomorrow, so I'll bring you that information as soon as we get it. And I know a lot of folks are saying, you know, what does transition have to do with. And I just want to direct people's attention to that as they're trying to put together motive. This is the evidence that they're collecting. And just to remind you, on a lot of the bullet casing, one of the bullet casing said, if you're gay, if you read this, you're gay. So a lot of folks are asking, you know, what does transition have to do with it? What does the roommate have to do with it? Again, we do not know yet. We will see tomorrow. And then also one more thing before I let you guys go. FBI Director Cash Patel. Democrats said he got some explaining to do this week. They will be bringing him before Congress to answer the inconsistencies that he had. Because remember guys, when they said he was in custody and he wasn't in custody and back in, you know. So Democrats will be asking him some questions this week on why there was some inconsistencies.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, the transitioning thing. That's right. Wings media's way of trying to say he had a left leaning ideology. But they be acting like the only people who like transgenders are on the left. Trust there as many, just as many trans, transgender levels on the right. They just do it undercover.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's right. All right, well, that is front page news. Thank you, Taz.

[Teslin Figaro]

Absolutely.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We'll see you next hour. Everybody else, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, phone lines are wide open. Let us know how your weekend was. Call us right now. Again, 1-800-585-1051. It's the breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club.

[State Farm Advertiser]

To actually have a special.

You can just tell by the way you carry yourself, especially with impromptu jokes. I think we had a whole situation in the crowd, and you just kind.

[State Farm Advertiser]

Of naturally spun it off, and you were still funny.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah. And it's not easy to do that. So I really enjoyed myself.

[DJ Envy]

Eight, four, three was happening.

[State Farm Advertiser]

What's going on, Shaman? How you doing this morning?

[DJ Envy]

Blessed, black and highly favored, my brother.

[State Farm Advertiser]

Hey, I feel the same way. So check this out. My only event is I'm tired of little people down here, you know, people of the other race or whatnot. Always looking down on us because we've been in the culinary industry for 23 years. Always hate on always because these little privileged people around here just have certain connections and don't look at the real talent. And, you know, we always got the, you know, the bigger People talking about politics and stuff like that to get us where we need to be at.

[DJ Envy]

Well, listen, don't focus on that. Focus on shouting out your business while you on the Breakfast Club this morning. Shout out your business, man. Tell people where they can, you know, find you for some color for a dope culinary experience. Oh, man.

[State Farm Advertiser]

If you listen to radio show, you know me, I'm everybody.

[DJ Envy]

That ain't gonna work. That ain't gonna work. That's not how you market and promote your business, man. What is the name of your. The name? Huh?

[State Farm Advertiser]

Oh, no, I'm just. I'm just a line cut. I don't have my own business like that. I don't want one.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, he's in culinary school right now, so.

[DJ Envy]

Oh, you in culinary school? Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, have a good one. But he was saying that white people hate on him while he's in culinary school. That's what he was saying. That's all.

[DJ Envy]

I thought he was making it sound like he couldn't get no. No business. Yeah, like he cooks and nobody hiring him.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. Now, when we come back from Howard University, we have Lauren LaRosa here.

[DJ Envy]

What's up, Lauren?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Hey, Envy. How you feeling?

[DJ Envy]

I'm good.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You was all in the Howard.

[Lauren LaRosa]

We were trolling Envy. You know, it was at Dell State, Howard University link up. You know, they wanted to let me.

[DJ Envy]

Know they were saying the real issue.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, because that's a. That's the Envy thing. I got nothing to do with that. I just, you know, organized the troll.

[DJ Envy]

Recorded the video and not have been in.

[Lauren LaRosa]

No, I needed to be.

[DJ Envy]

Who won the game?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Nobody knows.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I don't know.

[DJ Envy]

Wow.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I'll find out for you. I don't know. But yes, we were outside this weekend, so we're going to get into that in the latest. The Canelo Crawford fight went down. I was outside for New York Fashion Week. Cardi B literally shut down the streets. I ran into Sherri Shepherd. You know, she got a lot going on over there, her talk show. So I got some exclusive details on what's actually happening with the show. Emmys happen. We got a lot to talk about in this first hour.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All right, we'll get into all that next. Don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Jess.

[DJ Envy]

Hilarious.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Damn Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club.

[DJ Envy]

Monday just be hitting you the way Crawford hit Canelo over the weekend, man. Remember, you just hit him and spun him around.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yep.

[DJ Envy]

Like woke up like, damn, it's Monday.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's right.

[DJ Envy]

Well, here we are.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Let's get to the latest with Lauren.

[DJ Envy]

Lauren becoming a straight face. She gets them from somebody that knows somebody.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about everything.

[DJ Envy]

She'd be having the latest on the.

[Morgan Wood]

Bees, the Lord, the Latest with Lauren LaRosa.

[DJ Envy]

Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details. Sometimes she have a little bit of everything. Oh, it's the latest on the Breakfast Club.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Man, was this a weekend. There was a lot going on. So we are going to start quickly. We're going to go over to Vegas for the Canelo vs. Crawford fight. So I heard you guys talking a bit about it this morning. Terence Crawford moved up two divisions to fight Canelo and won the undisputed super middleweight championship on Saturday in Vegas. Now this made Crawford a four division world champion and put his name in the history books by becoming the first men's fighter in the four belt era since 20077 to become an undisputed champion in three weight classes. Junior welterweight, welterweight and super middleweight. So congratulations to him.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Absolutely.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Now I do have the audio from one of the post, post fight interviews where Canelo was talking about Terrence Crawford and compared him to Floyd Mayweather. Let's take a listen.

[DJ Envy]

In the world of comparisons that we live in right now, if you can.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Compare and contrast the fight between yourself and Floyd Mayweather Jr. And tonight's bout.

[DJ Envy]

With Terence Bud Crawford, if you can.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, I think Crawford is way better than Floyd Mayweather.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah. Now that was a big take. Of course. He's fought both of them.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, he would know.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So that was a big, a big, big take. But not really, I think both of them.

[DJ Envy]

Not for people who watch boxing. No, that's not. No.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Well, I just wanted to make sure that we sent that Terence Crawford some love because he also talked a lot that night about how people underestimated him and thought, you know, because people didn't really. He doesn't have the biggest star power, that he wasn't going to win the fight and he definitely took that home. So congratulations to now bring the. What, he doesn't have like the biggest star power?

[DJ Envy]

Oh, no, no, no.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah. Like people were under. He was saying that people were underestimating him because of that. But we're going to move on over to New York. So this weekend New York Fashion Week kicked off and there was so much going on. So I attended the Sergio Hudson show over the weekend. Shout out to Sergio Hudson. He came here With Stephanie Mills. He's been here a couple times. So he showed his spring and summer 2026 line. And at his show, he had Alandria from Love Island. I was gonna say love here, but Love Island. Her and Shelly of Love Island. If you watch the show, you know that from season six to season seven, you know, these girls have become, like, the muses of the show.

[DJ Envy]

And they are beautiful.

[Lauren LaRosa]

They look like two doll babies. We. I saw them backstage at. Or I saw Alondra backstage at one of the shows, and I just couldn't stop staring at her. She's so beautiful. Yes. Yeah. So they were everywhere. They were on every Runway. They were at every show. They were the muses of New York Fashion Week. But also in attendance for Sergio was Ms. Stephanie Mills. Of course, Mary J. Blige was there as well. Stylist and icon June Ambrose. I got to meet her.

[DJ Envy]

I've seen that. Yeah.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Y. And then Sherri shepherd was there. I saw Sherri Shepherd a few times this week, but this was one of the first times that we actually got to, like, talk, because, you know, you're just moving and grooving. And she had pulled me to the side just to say hello, her and her publicist, Ms. Simone. And they were actually telling me how our segment that we did on the along, when we reported on it, and we actually pulled the audio of what Sheri said was really helpful for her on the back end because it cleared up all of that, because it looks so messy and so crazy.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah. So she was just talking to me a bit about navigating this space and, you know, how to get in people's business, but, like, get to the point and keep clarity in things.

[DJ Envy]

Did she give you some tea on her executive producer, showrunner John Murray, leaving?

[Lauren LaRosa]

She could not give me any tea. She would not tell me anything. But I did make some phone calls. I had a couple conversations because what has been said has been. There's been a few things. It's been that, you know, there was issues with John and execs. It's been said that possibly John and Sharon are best friends. Fell out. He made that clear when he announced he was leaving. Yeah, that. That they're still good. But what I was told. And, oh, also too, people were trying to say that the conversation was around ratings, that maybe her ratings had slipped, and that's why they're bringing in, like, new eps, new showrunners. So what I was told was that the September 2nd announcement when John mentioned that he was leaving is exactly what it Was. It's nothing about ratings. Sherri shepherd has been number two in the 18 to 54 key demographic, which is the demographic that really matters. The only show above her is Kelly and Mark, and she's been there for some years now. When got renewed for her season four, I remember being a big thing that she was still number two. So people were making.

[DJ Envy]

She's still at number two in 2554.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yes, 1854.

[DJ Envy]

1854.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah. But people are making this a conversation about is her show falling off? Are the ratings going out the window? Because now they're having to bring in new staff, like the. The. You know, the production companies and networks are bringing in people. And from what I was told over the weekend, that is not true whatsoever. Yeah. So just wanted to, you know, clear that up. But. But also Fashion Week. Cardi B.

[DJ Envy]

Yes.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Let's get to it, baby. Okay, so Cardi B. First of all, her and Culture were out at some of the shows. Alexander Wayne had a huge show.

[DJ Envy]

So cute.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah. So her and Culture dressed alike. And when I tell y', all, Culture was the moment, baby. Yes. If you watch any of the videos from Alexander Wang's show, you'll see Culture and Cardi. And Culture is just like. She's taking it like she's posing. She's doing all the things. A ton of other celebrities as well, too. But then Cardi took it uptown. So she's uptown. She's doing this bodega pop up as a part of her rollout for Am I the Drama. And when I tell y', all, there had to be at least like 10,000 people out there. It was. Yes. In the streets. Her car was literally blocked. She couldn't even move.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I seen her on. And she would. She jumped on the roof, right?

[Lauren LaRosa]

She had to. She couldn't go nowhere else.

[DJ Envy]

She had the baby out there.

[Lauren LaRosa]

She had Blossom on the roof of the car with her. Culture was also in the car, too. But Cardi B. Talked about the Pop up, and she said that Elena underestimated the amount of people that would show up. Let's take a listen to Cardi B Speaking on the Pop Up.

[DJ Envy]

Up.

[Lauren LaRosa]

That pop up was insane. I think we underestimated that Pop Up. But that pop up mean a lot to me because it's like Washington Heights is like my second hood. I used to walk the bridge from high Bridge, the 155th Bridge, all the way over here. I always told you that. I used to live in 157 in Broadway. And my grandma, she's from. She's from like down the block, for real.

[DJ Envy]

So for me to see so many.

[Lauren LaRosa]

People pop up for me in the blocks that I will walk up and down, up and down with me and my, my one of my best friends, Dialysis and my sister Hennessy and stuff like that, it means a lot to me. Like more than you guys could ever imagine. And even though it was like 18 years ago, 15 years ago, it just feels like yesterday. And I just can't believe that all these people pop up for me.

[DJ Envy]

Drop on the clues bonds for Cardi B. Understanding that you still have to have a rollout. And when it comes to marketing or promotion, this is a dope rollout. Okay? Like, you know, everybody gave the clip's a lot of credit and they should have got it for, for just hitting up a bunch of media outlets because that's what you used to do when you would have a rollout. But what Cardi's doing is actual, you know, putting together events and pop ups and marketing and promotion. Like, she's got a very dope rollout.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She's doing it like the 90s hand, very hand in hand. She's out there in the street. She got the thing on. I seen her walking through the trains. I seen her going through the bodegas.

[Teslin Figaro]

The train one was fire the subway.

[DJ Envy]

That was hilarious. The guy really gave her $10 right there on the spot for the album. That was so funny.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah. So while she was at the bodega, she brought almost 200 sandwiches and nearly 300 drinks for everybody outside, according to one of the Delaware deli workers. Like, she brought everybody their favorite sandwiches. You know, all the things.

[DJ Envy]

So yeah, so it's just interesting to me to see an artist out there working because these artists be acting like they too cool for school. All of them think they Beyonce, they can just drop an album and you know, their tick tock followers and social media followers gonna go buy it. No, you better go out there and work and let people know you got an album coming.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's right.

[DJ Envy]

And then when you sell 30,000, there's.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Something special about folks who come through without being asked.

Like it's your first week and you know your album is done after a week. You wonder why 30,000 is considered good now.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, 30,000 is considered good because, you know, you put into the streaming play and the purchasing thing. So 30,000.

[DJ Envy]

So imag than what you did if you actually went out there and worked it over 100.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's right.

[DJ Envy]

Okay.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Which is amazing.

[DJ Envy]

Card is going to definitely do over 100.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Absolutely positive.

[DJ Envy]

But they don't really make money from streaming though, do they?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes, they do. They do. But they make money off of streaming. But it's like. No, not like that. But they do make money off of it.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah. And then wrapping up. I do want to mention you can also order. She set it up. Cardi set it up where you can order in my. The drama on door dash once it's released. And it kind of goes Cardi b bodega situation.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You can order that on door dash.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, she has it where you can order things on door dash.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So you can buy the vinyl. I'm sure you could buy T shirts. I'm sure you could buy the. I don't know if they have a cassette, but I know they have vinyl and cd.

[DJ Envy]

Right. Marketing.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, she has. She has all of those.

[DJ Envy]

I love it.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yes.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's dope.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah. So that's the latest. We're going back inside in the next.

[DJ Envy]

Well, not.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Not true. Next hour we're going to talk about the Emmys. We got to go to la.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Okay. All right. Now when we come back, we got front page news. Tesla and Figaros back. So we'll kick it with Ted.

[DJ Envy]

Let's just like drop a clues bomb for Lauren getting through that segment.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Thank you. Keeping it moving, right?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You kept it moving.

[Lauren LaRosa]

You gave us the right amount of details.

[DJ Envy]

Forever.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Appreciate it. Missed you at Sergio Hudson. Oh, I mean, not Sergio Hudson. Romeo Hunt. Yes, I was there too, yesterday.

[DJ Envy]

Yes. I landed back and I was tired.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I figured. I told him that you had shows, but. Thank you, sis. I Appreciate that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All right, when we come back, like I said, Tesla and Figaro, front page news. So don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

[DJ Envy]

You're checking out the Breakfast Club.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get back in some front page news. Start off with some quick sports. Over the weekend, Terence Crawford defeated Canelo Alvarez by unanimous decision. Now he is the undisputed super middleweight, holds the world title. So congratulations to Terence Crawford.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, drop on the clues. Bonds with Terence Crawford. Man, I wonder, do Canelo and Crawford retire now? Cuz neither one of them have anything left to prove. You know, I think they do a rematch. No.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Why not? Canelo made $100 million.

[DJ Envy]

150.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Jesus Christ.

[DJ Envy]

Just for real. Yes. Well, Canelo got a couple more fights. I think Canelo got a couple more fights. Undeterred Turkey. I don't.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

They said Bud got, I think 10 million. 15 million.

[DJ Envy]

No, Bud got like 50 million. But Bud was playing when he said he got 10 million. He said that in the interview with Akin. Barack. He was clearly joking. So if he got 50 million, why Canelo get 1 50? Canelo was the biggest draw, is the bigger draw. And it's Mexican independence weekend. Like I love, I love salute to Terence Crawford. But Terence Crawford has never been as big of a draw as Canelo Alvarez. Like, never. Like, people are just starting. A lot of people outside of boxes are just starting to realize who Terence Crawford is. Correct. Yeah. So he sold most of this? Well, yeah, most of the tickets. Absolutely. Okay. Absolutely.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All right. And there's some quick sports. Cowboys beat the giants. Y' all know that. Seahawks be Steelers. Rams beat the Titans. Patriots beat the Dolphins. Don't you laugh, Ted.

[DJ Envy]

49, 86.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Lions beat the Bears. Cardinals beat the Panthers. Falcons beat the Vikings. The eagles beat the Chiefs. Colts beat the Broncos. Ravens beat the Browns. Bengals beat the Jaguars. The bills beat the Jets. Seahawks beat the Steelers. And then Monday night football. The buccaneers played Houston. And the charges take on the Raiders. What's up, tears?

[Teslin Figaro]

What's going on? DJ Envy Jess. Hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. Hey, let's get into it, guys. If you are disabled and use Uber, check this story out. The U. S. Government is suing Uber, accusing the ride sharing company of discriminating against passengers with disabilities. Now, the U. S. Department of justice said Uber drivers routinely refuse to serve people with disabilities, including riders who travel with service animals or wheelchairs. The department also said Uber and his drivers charge people without permission for cleaning fees. For serving up for service animals and charge people for cancellation fees after they deny the service. So let me say that again. After they say, you know, I'm not gonna give you a ride, they still charge them for the cancellation fee. So I think that's wrong. Some drivers also say that they've been insulted, demeaned, and have just been flat out, just been up. The drivers have been rude to them. So I want to ask you guys a question. I know I've gotten in an Uber before, you know, after a service animal has been in a car and it did require a cleaning fee. Do y' all think that's discrimination?

[DJ Envy]

No. No. What? When you get in the car and.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

There'S a service animal.

[DJ Envy]

No.

[Teslin Figaro]

It smell like dog.

[DJ Envy]

No.

[Teslin Figaro]

Like, if you. If you're getting in after the Uber, if the service animal messed up the vehicle, they're saying that they're getting charged these fees. Do you consider that discrimination or is that fair?

[DJ Envy]

I think the Uber driver needs to let the person know beforehand. Like, there should be something on the app that lets you know, hey, we don't accept service animals, or we don't accept. Not even just service animals, just dogs in the car, period. Because to me, it just sounds like these Uber drivers don't want the responsibility to clean up after somebody.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, you can't discriminate somebody's service dog. Right? So.

[DJ Envy]

But if you just say animals, that's what's. That's not discrimination. If you say we don't. I don't accept pets. Like, there's some.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But if it's a service animal, you can't discriminate.

[DJ Envy]

What if I don't. I don't want pets in my car.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You can't work like that. Because if it's a service animal, you need it for a.

[DJ Envy]

But what if my priority is already, I don't want animals in my car? Like, there's some drivers that don't let you eat in their car.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, but eating is different than a service animal. If you have a service animal and you have a service animal vest, they have to let you in. Majority of all the stores. Like, there's certain things that Service animals. You reply, and some people.

[DJ Envy]

And I'm talking about my car. Forget this matter. If I'm in my car and I say, I don't accept animals in my car.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

If you're a driver and you're driving for the public, you have to be able to take service animals. Same thing with, like, buses and flights. You have to take surf.

[DJ Envy]

Are you sure about that? Yes.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's right.

[Teslin Figaro]

That's why they're getting sued.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's why they're getting sued.

[Nick Cannon]

Yes.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, he's not just. It's not just a homies pit bull. Like, this is a service animal that's there for a reason.

[DJ Envy]

It's hard to call it discrimination, though, if I don't want animals in my car.

[Nick Cannon]

Yeah, I know.

[Teslin Figaro]

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. This is a tough one when it comes to the animals now, you know, not letting people ride. Okay, you know, we can have that. But I know that sometimes you need to pay a cleaning fee. That I do know. You know, so I, I thought that was interesting to talk about. So looks like you guys just made a point on this that proved why this is going to court. So another story I want to tell you about our brother, everybody's brother, Malcolm Jamal Warner wanted to give you an update on his honor and his legacy. His wife. Over the weekend, Tanisha Warner, who is the widow of actor Malcolm Jamal Warner, who tragically died, as we know, in a drowning accident in Costa Rica almost two months ago, announced that she and her daughter would be launching two initiatives, river and Ember and the Michael Jamal Warner foundation to honor his memory. So she said on Instagram, thank you for holding us in so much love during this tender time. Tomorrow marks our anniversary, and my heart is wide open. For the first time, I'm sharing a glimpse of the love that began it all. So you can go to the Instagram, see photos. You know, they had a private relationship, didn't have a lot of her photos and the wedding photos out there. So she did put that out there. And so they're starting those organizations in his name and just give you quickly a little bit about it. The river in Ember, it invites families to connect through story and art. The goal is to deepen the bond between parents and children. And the Malcolm Jamal Warner Family foundation exists to honor the truth by nurturing the next generation of poets, painters, musicians, performers, and creators who carry courage, freedom, and authenticity. We remember that, you know, Malcolm was also a poet and as well.

[DJ Envy]

So rest in peace to Malcolm.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Absolutely.

[DJ Envy]

Hold on. I want to go back to the Uber thing. Right? Do you, do you have. Is there like a certification that proves your animal is a service, though?

[Teslin Figaro]

There is some of your hands. Yeah, they, yeah, they do have. They do have a service animal certification that you can apply for, which a lot of people be cheating, just as FYI, because people get. Get on the plane for free with it. But yes, you do. You can Prove that it's a service app.

[DJ Envy]

And this is why this, this is why this is interesting. Lawsuit. Because it says Uber drivers must allow service animals but can choose whether to allow other pets or emotional support animals. Because these animals are protected by law for non service animals. Riders got to contact the driver in advance to ensure they are comfortable with pets and to avoid any issues.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So service animals are totally different. Like they're not just your comfort animal.

[DJ Envy]

But how do you prove it's a service if I'm, if I'm a driver.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Supposed to get documentation.

[DJ Envy]

How do you prove is a service name if I'm a driver? Because if I got my emotional support dog and I'm like, well I need it. And I'm like, no.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And you can buy a vest off Amazon. Like you could buy a service animal.

[DJ Envy]

You really can.

[Teslin Figaro]

Yeah, I did one time shout out to Southwest Airlines.

[DJ Envy]

You could buy. You can buy. Not for an emotional support dog.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What you mean? Yeah, that's two different, you know, there's two different things.

[DJ Envy]

But, but that's my point. And so it's up to the, according to this, it's up to the Uber driver's discretion if it's an emotional sport. He can't, he can't discriminate against the service animals animal. But he can tell you if you got an emotional support dog. No. Right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Documentation.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, because people have emotional support dogs for anxiety and all that. That's right.

[Teslin Figaro]

But that's what they're saying. Yeah, people are getting discriminated against with the document. The service animals as well, you know, Emotional. Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

All right, but listen, I want to salute to Taz, man. Taz is going to be doing front page news all of this while week because Teslin Figaro is going to be on Abby Phillips show this Thursday on cnn. They done messed around and let Godamn Teslin Figaro on freaking cnn. And so she'll be there this Thursday at what, Abby, come on. At 10 o', clock, right?

[Teslin Figaro]

Yes, sir.

[DJ Envy]

Yes, yes, yes, girl.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Congrats.

[DJ Envy]

Yes, definitely.

[Teslin Figaro]

Thank you so much.

[DJ Envy]

And I like this. That's the reason I like Abby's show. Cause Abby brings on voices that need to be on tv but you don't see on TV like you should like people like Tesla Figaro, she be bringing Anna from the Young Turks on. There was Anna and a Casparian. So that's gonna be, that's gonna be good. You know who you're gonna be on there with yet?

[Teslin Figaro]

I know they haven't told me yet, but I will be in the studio with you guys on Thursday. So it's Thursday, and we'll see what to do. I'm gonna behave myself. Charlemagne.

[DJ Envy]

No, I don't want you to behave on cnn. Oh, boy. I want you to come here and be Tesla Figaro. Everyone wants you to behave.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All right, well, thank you, Tez. We'll see you tomorrow.

[Teslin Figaro]

Absolutely. Peace.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All right, when we come back, Nick Cannon will be joining us. So don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the breakfast club. Lauren LaRosa is here as well. And we got a special guest in.

[DJ Envy]

The building, a man I have no problem calling an icon.

[Nick Cannon]

Oh, I appreciate that.

[DJ Envy]

For real. Nick Cannon is here. How you doing, my brother, man?

[Nick Cannon]

Man, I'm good. I mean, I would say that same about you, man.

[DJ Envy]

No, not yet. Not yet. Come on, man.

[Nick Cannon]

Quick play.

[DJ Envy]

You know the reason made me think of that. I was. I was listening to you on Myth Bleak podcast. Oh, okay. Yeah. And I was just like, I don't know if it's because you and Bleak got such history. Yeah. But I don't. I feel like I heard a different side of you in that interview. Really? I don't know why. It was like, it made me look at things in a different perspective. Not like I didn't always look at you in that way, but I'm like, yo, Nick has really done a lot. And I remember it was one part you was talking about how you just wanted to do things that were always authentic to you. Yeah. And it made me start thinking about all the different hats you've worn. The comedian, actor, TV host, rapper, director, executive. And I was just like, damn.

[Nick Cannon]

Nah. I preach that, especially coming from you, man. Because that. Even that conversation, that was when Miff was up here and he was running around with them. But I've been in this game for so long. Like, I've been running through New York since the 90s, you know what I mean? And I used to run with them. Cause we was all kind of young and stuff, so. And they. Everybody used to look out for me. Cause I was like this kid that was doing standup and rapping and all of that stuff. So everybody would look out for me. Like, from Jay to Will Smith, all of those different people kind of took a liking to me. So I've seen the game since the 90s. And to your point, man, I've been blessed to be able to do so many different things, but it's, like, time you don't think, like, damn, 30 years have passed, you know what I mean? And I've done so much stuff that I forgot about a lot of times. But it's like, you know, from the movies, the TV shows and all that stuff, and now I'm just in a space, man, where I'm just trying to operate and be the best father I can be. And, you know, peace. That's it. Peace is most important.

[DJ Envy]

Which role feels most authentically you then? And which one do you think people underestimate?

[Nick Cannon]

I mean, if we talking, like, artistry, I love acting. I mean, at the core, but standup is what got me on. You know what I mean? Standup is what you can do for the rest of your life. And it's evolved in such a way now, so I'll probably never stop doing that. There used to be this idea of, like, oh, I want to be the entrepreneur and the hustler. And I kind of. I did that for, like, 10, 15 years and did it heavy and made a lot of money. And then I was like, it ain't even really about that no more. So if I'm talking about my craft, I think I really enjoy acting, but I'm still gonna be the businessman that I am now. I'm in that space where I just want to give people opportunities. And so that has kind of almost stepped in front of, like, how much money I can make and, like, yo, how many people can I help? And that's why I say with you, man, I mean, from the black effect to everything you're building in the spaces of mental health, like, it's so necessary and so needed that I don't think you get the flowers as much as you should, because you are quietly building culture for this next generation where nobody else is doing it, like. And you're doing it in a way where it's unapologetic. And I mean, from somebody who always wanted to do it and literally watched you build it, I'm like, man, that's so dope, man.

[DJ Envy]

But you did build it. That's what I'm saying. Like, to me, the underestimated part about you is your role as an executive. Because you think about Wild Nas going on, what, 22 seasons? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, you know, people don't. May not know the masked singer. You're an executive producer of that. Yeah, yeah, that was. He was like, yo, let's.

[Nick Cannon]

I brought it out. Yeah, we got it. We took it from. It was a Korean property. It was a. And it was a hit. Hit over overseas. And we brought it here, and now what we. Season 14. So it's just like. But that's a. That's. To me, those are things. Like, I just enjoy it, and I guess that's the business mindset as an executive. But to me, like, that's like, I'm so in that space now. Like, I'm probably creating maybe three or four different game shows and stuff like that coming up. Because I understand, like, oh, I can have fun doing this. But then at the same time, this is an empty space that you don't really see us that much.

[DJ Envy]

So you're the chairman of teen Nick for ten years.

[Nick Cannon]

Ten years, yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah.

[Nick Cannon]

We was over there 15. 15. You. You was over there.

[DJ Envy]

That story me up because I didn't realize. Well, the mas. Single story, because I didn't realize you left America.

[Nick Cannon]

America's Got Talent.

[DJ Envy]

Talk about that. Yeah.

[Nick Cannon]

I mean, well, that was. Dang. It was so long ago, but, you know, me running my mouth doing. Saying stuff I ain't had no business saying. Well, actually, I. I was telling jokes in my standup, and NBC didn't like it, and they kind of like. Like, threatened to fire me. And I was on my chappelle at the time. Like, I had been kicking it with him, and I was like, oh, well. They go, well, I quit. And I literally just stepped away from America's Got Talent. Everybody's like, yo, this is the biggest mistake of your entire career.

[DJ Envy]

He was making, what, $20 million a year? Yeah.

[Nick Cannon]

And it was. People were like, jobs like that don't come around again. Howard Stern was trying to convince me to stay, and he. I'm looking up to him because he told NBC when, you know, back in the day that he was leaving and all that stuff, and he was like, nah, man, keep that job. Simon Cowell, everybody was trying to convince me. And then I was like, nah, I know my worth. And then I went and created a show over at Fox that was bigger than America's Got Talent.

[Lauren LaRosa]

When you posted about you leaving AGC back all those years ago.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah.

[Lauren LaRosa]

You had said that at one point, you were in a dark place about trying to figure out the decision.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah.

[Nick Cannon]

Cause everybody was, like, against me, like, my entire team. And I'm like, wait, am I making a bad decision? Because I'm literally trying to stand up for freedom of speech and stand up my culture and all of that stuff. And it was like, wait, I. I feel like I'm making the right decision, but nobody. They're like, nah, man, you gotta. This is how the game Works and you, yeah, the highest paid host on television and all that stuff, you step away from that, you know, the industry's not gonna rock with you no more. And I just stood 10 toes down. But it was definitely a dark place because, I mean, and that's happened a few times in my career. So, like, at certain points, it's like, oh, I know what this is. It's a cycle, you know what I mean? So long as I can always stay true to myself, then it ain't never gonna be an issue with me. But it was scary, you know, when them first times happened. You don't know, like, dang, is this over? Dang, how am I gonna feed my family from this point on if everybody around me, agents, managers, everybody's like, nah, you gotta figure this out. But, you know, luckily, believing in yourself definitely plays off.

[Lauren LaRosa]

What did you learn about, like, how to navigate the race conversations, working with corporations from that? Because I know the joke was, it was you jokingly saying, yeah, I said.

[Nick Cannon]

NBC stood for a be careful.

[DJ Envy]

It's true. They proved you right.

[Nick Cannon]

Right? And they didn't like that. But again, and we had. We had several conversations, you know, closed door for. And it was just. It was when you feel something is. Isn't authentic, you just kind of know, like, yo, I'm gonna just trust my gut. And sometimes because I don't. I don't think there was any malice even from their side and stuff, they're trying to protect their brand. And then there was part of me that just at that time in my life, I was soapboxing so heavy, you know what I mean? I wanted to pontificate. I wanted to. And that's the energy. I think even a lot of us was on when it was really just like, yo, we standing up for us and we. Ownership and all of that. And I think rightly so, it was a good decision at the time, but now that I'm, you know, a little more mature and all that stuff, it's like, yo, you definitely gotta know how to pick your battles. Even though I won that one. And, you know, I would encourage people to always stand firm in who you are and what you represent, but that can. It can drain you so much. You know what I mean?

[DJ Envy]

And.

[Nick Cannon]

And like I said, it's only by the grace of God that, you know, I. I am able to continue on and continue to keep going and, and not stopping. So. But yeah, man, at this point, man, I'm just. I'm chilling. I'm just like, I'm just, like, I said, Peace is the most important thing to me.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We're still kicking it with Nick Cannon, Lauren.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Well, you got the Nick at Night show now. Yeah, Late night space. Why late night space? The.

[Nick Cannon]

I think, I mean, I'll be honest, they kind of, you know, Amazon came at me and was like, yo, you should do this. And I was like, all right. You know, like, it was a fun, you know, take on how to flip late night. And almost like late night radio, that used to be like the call in advice for relationship and sex and stuff like that. So it was a cool. We do it at, you know, a spot that I have ownership in in Hollywood. And it's just like a cool little date night vibe to where, you know, we bring in a professional, whether it's a therapist or a psychologist. And, you know, they. They give the real advice and I'm just there for the commentary. But it's super dope because then I do man on the street bits with it and all that stuff. So it's just another thing to do again, something to have fun with. But, you know, when they presented it to me, I was like, all right, let's get it.

[DJ Envy]

I saw you on this and you don't believe in. You don't like the term co parenting.

[Nick Cannon]

I think that was again, that they. Clickbait. I think what I said. But in that sense, what I was saying, I was like, it's parents. You know what I mean? I think we start, you know, trying to come up with all of these phrases that kind of like, no, we just. Let's just be the best parents we can possibly be. Because then once you start trying to define what co parenting is, and then it's like, then that diminishes what our experience is as just as parents. You know what I mean? I think everybody wants to be the best parents to their child. So I was just saying I don't like all of these terms that society just starts putting. Putting on there, especially, you know, based off of. They throw terms at me constantly. So I was like, why. Why can't it just be parenting? Like, why does it. But that it. There's a negative connotation sometimes that it goes in like, I've never had a bad experience, so I'd rather just like, no, we parent together. Like, that just sounds, you know, a little better than what co parenting. Co parenting sounds like you got lawyers involved and stuff like that. Which the people who do that, that's. That's cool. But it's like, I feel like if we're really getting to the core of it, parenting is what we doing.

[Lauren LaRosa]

People love coming for you in the parenting stuff.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

They do.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Does it ever get to a point where you're just like, what the hell? Like, I'm over it. Everything you say.

[Nick Cannon]

Not really. Because it's like, it's been that way for years. Like, I've never. Like, I.

[DJ Envy]

It's been that way since you've had 12 kids.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I feel like it's heightened because you.

[Nick Cannon]

I mean, but it's always been able to, like, from the stuff that we was talking about earlier, that they always like, I'll say something. My mouth would get me in trouble or something. And then it's like, I gotta clear it up and stuff. And I. A few years back, like, man, I ain't even worried about clearing that stuff up, especially when I have so many platforms of my own that it's just like, well, as long as they promoting it, I'm not even tripping, so. Because I'm gonna. I'm gonna speak my truth.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah.

[Nick Cannon]

And if. You know, I'm only responsible for what I say, not for what you understand.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah. Because there was a clip of you talking about your daughters and who you want your daughters to date.

[DJ Envy]

Oh, yeah.

[Lauren LaRosa]

And even with that, I was like, well, if you listen to what he was trying to say and understand it, you're just taking accountability. Yet you changed a lot. Or the man you are now is who you want your kids to date, not who you were.

[DJ Envy]

Oh, yeah, we get to talk about that.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, we did.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah.

[Nick Cannon]

And most men, if you ask them, honestly, would you be like, yo, would you want your daughters to date a young boy like you?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

They're gonna be like, no.

[Nick Cannon]

You know, but in that sense, like, as we mature, you're gonna be like, look, dad did a bunch of stuff, made a lot of mistakes. Please don't find somebody like that, but find somebody that is gonna treat you right and do that. And that's. That's all I was saying in that sense. It was like, I was taking accountability and just saying, like, yeah, I do have five daughters, and I want them to make way better choices than I made. And I think that's what every parent wants.

[DJ Envy]

I would want my daughters to have the version of me that went on a healing journey. Right. That version, if you could find that early. Yeah. Yeah. Because I know a lot of my homegirls now tell me they won't even date a guy who's not trying to do some work on themselves. Yeah. They've been to therapy or something.

[Nick Cannon]

Big fat and that's, I think, you know, we obviously share that same energy of like, like therapy has changed our lives in such a way.

[DJ Envy]

Absolutely.

[Nick Cannon]

Because I, I used to feed off of toxicity. You know, I used to, you know, from being diagnosed as a narcissist and all that. Like, I would like that's the type of stuff it was like, yeah, like.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, girl is gonna love that.

[DJ Envy]

I don't know why I didn't know you got clean.

[Lauren LaRosa]

How do you die? Like, how does that work?

[Nick Cannon]

It's a process. You gotta one, you gotta have the right psychiatrist or even psychologist. They both it. But it's like a three week process to where you gotta, they do a in person verbal interview that you gotta answer all of these questions at a certain pace. Then you gotta fill out these forms, then you gotta write. And not like they're, they're not trick questions, but they're questions that you know from 1 to 10, how do you do this? How would you handle this in this situation? And then they take, it takes about a month to come back. And then it's a spectrum and it tells you where you land on the spectrum of mpd and you know, luckily like the far end of the spectrum where people, a lot of people, you know, associate narcissism with where there's the lack of empathy and rage. I didn't have those. Like, those are the things where like people just, you know, they're so into themselves that it's dangerous. But all of the, you know, the self worth and you know, believing that who you are and that you're, you know, a unique individual and your word matters more than most. Like I had all of that and you know what I mean? So that you have to do the work. Once you've been diagnosed, you're like, oh, wow. So even in dealing with my children or dealing with the mothers of my children, it's like now I'm equipped with saying, oh yeah, I'm probably gaslighting when I'm doing that. Or oh, you know what, I could probably present this a little softer or at least with a little bit more compassion. Because my nature is to be like, what? I created this on this, I'm that. And then it's like, but that's not helping. You know what I mean? We're not looking for resolution. I'm just looking to be right and really feeding my ego. So I've learned all of that type of stuff and it's helped me become a better parent and a better partner in many scenarios.

[DJ Envy]

When you get diagnosed when?

[Nick Cannon]

Yeah, that was maybe, like, two years ago. And then.

[DJ Envy]

Because.

[Nick Cannon]

You ever heard of Dr. Amen?

[DJ Envy]

No.

[Nick Cannon]

I think you had to see him because he's all online. But he does all of these brain scans. He's a brain psychiatrist, and he. He has. It's called the Amen Clinics. And they did, like, this whole brain scan on me, and I'm thinking, like, oh, I'm gonna be. I'm gonna have a genius brain and all of this stuff. And turns out, like, I had, like, severe brain damage in my frontal lobe.

[DJ Envy]

What?

[Nick Cannon]

And, like. And he would, like. He said, I'm the poster child for adhd, which I kind of always knew, but I believe it came from, you know, in the brain scans. He did a whole episode on his platform about it. But it actually. They said there was, like, some trauma probably when I was a kid, that I. Whether I fell or something like that, that actually shifted. And from that, you know, he was like, you're probably already adhd, but because your frontal lobe was damaged. And then there was, like, some other. We. We can have toxicity of the brain, too, a lot of times. So there's, like. Whether it's stuff, like. And we don't even know it in our communities, like, everything from, like, mold and all of that stuff can actually. Actually affect how we function. And, you know, obviously, you know, it's the. The gut to mind ratio. Like, just the stuff we're putting in our bodies actually affects our mind. So I learned all of this stuff within, like, the last two years about, like, having a better brain and having, you know, being able to control your mind and accept the things that you've been diagnosed with, but also know that you can get better.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We're still kicking it with Nick Cannon. Charlamagne.

[DJ Envy]

I'm tripping because, like, you know, when you started having a bunch of kids, right, there's a lot of people around that's. In the mental health space, spiritual leaders. They would talk to me, one person in particular, and I'm not gonna say her name. And she was like, he has narcissistic personality disorder. Blah, blah, blah. I'm like, nick, because to your point, when I think of narcissism, I think of lack of empathy. I think of rage. I'm like, that's not Nick. Yeah.

[Nick Cannon]

Nah, she called it.

[DJ Envy]

So to hear you say that is like, wow.

[Nick Cannon]

Nah.

[DJ Envy]

And it's true.

[Nick Cannon]

You know what I mean? Because it's like, it gets. There's certain things, especially on the spectrum to where I had to own up and be like, man, I did do that. You know what I mean? I did try to make it all about me. I did try to create my own. And those are the concepts we used to embrace. You know what I mean? Like, yeah, I'm the boss. I created this. It's my world. Chicks gotta, you know, fall in line and all of that stuff.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, yeah.

[Nick Cannon]

So. But what Charlamagne.

[DJ Envy]

He was.

[Nick Cannon]

That ain't how you had a kid.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

[Nick Cannon]

Yeah, that is a process.

[DJ Envy]

That's part of it. So what you baby mama number 12? I'm mechanic.

[Nick Cannon]

But that's. I mean you learn man. I was, but I was on that, you know what I mean? I was on that for a long, long period and a lot of scare obviously too. A lot of it if we're being completely honest. A lot of it is the, the trauma that I was experiencing of not knowing how to handle divorce it. You know what I mean? And like me acting out because I'm like oh I'm.

[DJ Envy]

I'm.

[Nick Cannon]

I'm the man now and I can end. Instead of healing and doing what I should have actually did, I just jumped out there and because I had everything from, from wilding out and all this. All the things is like those were all distractions from the actual work that.

[DJ Envy]

I probably should ask a question. Did you feel like you failed because the marriage failed or did you were you worried about what the industry would think? Because the industry was already on some. How did Nick Cannon get Mariah anyway?

[Nick Cannon]

Yeah, I think it was a little bit of both Like I said, I hadn't did the work, you know what I mean? So I was just like, just long as I could keep my moving, you know what I mean? Like, long. And I didn't get a chance to slow down until I got in therapy, but I was just like, look, I just got to keep making money. I gotta stay hot, I gotta stay funny, and all everything else will figure itself out. And I just didn't do the work. So then I looked up, you know, 12 kids later, I'm like, wow, I could have did things very differently, but. But, you know, I stand firm on all of my decisions because, you know, I love all my kids, I love my family infrastructure, but I know it all started from a place of pain and not really healing properly. And, you know, because I had access to everything, so I just allowed that to kind of cloud of my. My decision making.

[DJ Envy]

So you think having all those kids was a response to your trauma?

[Nick Cannon]

Yeah, 100 now that. Now I'm learning that now.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah.

[Nick Cannon]

And it wasn't. And it wasn't like I was acting out. It was more of being careless, being frivolous with my process because I could do it because I had the money, because I had the access to. To whoever and however I wanted to move. And, you know, okay, they coming at me, they asking me, opposed to like, doing a mature thing and saying, hey, well, it probably makes more sense to do this. And. And then obviously life happens is as well. So it wasn't by. It wasn't like, oh, I'm gonna go have 12 kids. It was more about like, yo, I'm gonna just live life and have fun and whatever happens, happens. I can handle it. When it probably, you know, you know, being. Being almost 45 now, I can sit back and be like, yeah, if I would have thought the process through a little bit more and took time to actually do the inner work, things might have been a little different in certain scenarios.

[Lauren LaRosa]

You wouldn't have 12 kids.

[Nick Cannon]

I don't know. You know what I mean? Like, that's the only thing because every. And I've always said this, every child that I had was made out of love and there were strong relationships.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's just.

[DJ Envy]

Just.

[Nick Cannon]

It was. I. If I would have did the work in the healing after getting divorced, I probably would have took my time and a lot. A lot of other scenarios.

[DJ Envy]

You never wanted to get a divorce, did you?

[Lauren LaRosa]

I don't know.

[DJ Envy]

That's.

[Nick Cannon]

That's complicated, obviously. No, like, the. The easy question is like, nah, like you said, I felt like a Complete failure on so many different levels because of that. But I also knew it was probably. That's what it was best for, you know, specifically our kids and kind of being able to be the best parents we could be. So it was a tough decision. It was definitely a tough decision, but I wouldn't change it. You know what I mean? Looking back, I think it was the right decision. And I think when I look at all of the amazing things Mariah's doing right now, I was like, yo, that's. That's dope. You know what I mean? Like, she's in such a wonderful space, and, you know, I'm doing all right. The kids are thriving. So I'm like, we. We did. We made the best decision for us, because I don't know if it would have been that way, if I would have been the. The immature young dude. I was trying to figure it all out back then.

[Lauren LaRosa]

We did a segment up here where Mariah Carey was saying that she wish she had dated two Tupac.

[Nick Cannon]

Oh, yeah.

[Lauren LaRosa]

And then Charlotte joked like, she didn't need Tupac. She had the legend Nicholas Cannon. And I saw you. But you reposted it. Yeah, when you reposted it, I was like, oh, okay, Nick Cannon. Like, stop playing with him.

[Nick Cannon]

But I mean, the thing also, Charlotte knows this about me. Like, I'm. I'm all for the jokes. I'm all for the good time. Like, you. I'm never going. Nothing can make me mad. You know what I mean? So, like, that type. And, you know, it's funny. Like, even in our house, like, Mariah used to have, like, literally, the. The picture Tupac in the bubble bath, she had a big, giant version.

[DJ Envy]

And.

[Nick Cannon]

I think, you know, one of the, like, one of the bathrooms and stuff like that. But it's like, women love Tupac.

[DJ Envy]

Like, that ain't like, that's one of them things. You can't. You ain't never gonna be able to.

[Nick Cannon]

Compare yourself to Tupac.

[Lauren LaRosa]

You ever asked her, like, why this picture of all the pictures, you know.

[Nick Cannon]

It was a David LaChapelle picture. And then she got a relationship with him and all that stuff.

[DJ Envy]

But I. I get it.

[Nick Cannon]

I wasn't intimidated by it. I mean, I got abs, too.

[DJ Envy]

Will Smith ever bond over that? Did you ever. Oh, my God.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Now I understand Nick at night in the show and the love and the relationship and the advice and all that stuff with you, because you hear right today, I'm like, okay, I get it before. I'm like, why?

[Nick Cannon]

And that's doing a relationship it's so funny, too, because when people hear like, oh, Nick can't give advice. I'm not giving no advice advice. Like, if anything, I can give insight, but there's professionals there that are giving the real advice. But it's just. I'm going through a healing process. I'm working and I'm. And a lot of the therapists that you see on there are therapists that I've actually really worked with in the past and kind of done stuff. So I know their. Their history and that. And. And they can actually really help. And that's just the same thing that. I mean, Charlotte does this as well. It's like, we just got to encourage doing the work in therapy and. And especially for black men, because we look at it as a bad thing. We look at it as like, yo, you must be crazy, or something wrong with you, where it's like, nah, man. It's really saved my life in so many aspects, from relationships to personal work to, you know, working through trauma. It's. It's made me a better person. So if I can offer up platforms from whether. Whether it's our. The council culture platform, whether it's Nick Cannon at night, where I can introduce psychologists and therapists to the space and people, you know, embrace it, I'm with it.

[DJ Envy]

Nicholas Scott Cannon, ladies and gentlemen. Yes, sir. Thank you for joining us, my brother.

[Nick Cannon]

Ah, this is fun.

[DJ Envy]

Mr. Breakfast Club.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club.

[DJ Envy]

Salute to Nick Cannon, man. Wow. Revealed a lot. I didn't know that he was diagnosed. Diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder a couple of years ago and head trauma and all types of stuff. Interesting conversation.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah. Salute to Nick. And let's get to the latest with Lauren.

[DJ Envy]

Lauren becoming a straight face. She gets them from somebody that knows somebody.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about everything.

[DJ Envy]

She'd be having the latest on this.

[Morgan Wood]

The Latest with Lauren LaRosa.

[DJ Envy]

Sometimes we have fact, sometimes you have details, sometimes you have a little bit everything. Oh, it's the least on the Breakfast Club. Talk to me.

[Lauren LaRosa]

The 77th Primetime Emmy Awards went down at the Peacock Theater in LA last night. It was hosted by comedian Nate Barg Bares. I say his last name wrong all the time, but. So he was a former. He's SNL alum, and he opened up the show. They did an SNL skit about the future of tv. And then we got into the show. Now, the first person you saw, the first award that was presented was by Stephen Colbert. He was walked out to present best lead actor in a comedy series. And he got a standing ovation like he was there to present an award to someone else. But I think, you know, with that, all the conversations about the cancellation of his show or whatever, it was just so much love in the room for him. Yes. Now he actually went on to win a trophy for outstanding talk series at the Emmys and gave an amazing speech. Let's take a listen to Stephen Colbert.

[DJ Envy]

Miami goes to the Late show with Stephen Colbert. Thank you for this honor. I want to thank CBS for giving us the privilege to be part of.

[Nick Cannon]

The late night tradition, which I hope continues long after we're no longer doing this show.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Ten years ago, in September of 2015.

[Nick Cannon]

Spike Jones stopped by my office and.

[DJ Envy]

Said, hey, what do you want this.

[Nick Cannon]

Show to be about? And I said, asp. I kind of like to do a late night show that was about love. But at a certain point, I realized.

[DJ Envy]

That in some ways we were doing.

[Nick Cannon]

A late night comedy show about loss. And that's related to love.

[DJ Envy]

Because sometimes you only truly know how.

[Nick Cannon]

Much you love something when you get a sense that you might be losing it. Wow.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Ten years later, in September of 2025.

[Nick Cannon]

My friends, I have never loved my country more desperately.

[DJ Envy]

God bless America. Oh, that was a ball drop on the clues bombs.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yes, that was. I mean, not that he needs to laugh, laugh, but that was a great last laugh for him at cbs because, you know, even being able to thank them in this speech and standing in so much love. Shout out to Stephen Colbert. But the night continued. There was a lot that happened. Tramell Tillman became the first black man to win an Emmy for outstanding supporting actor in a drama series for his. His role in the Severance. Let's take a listen to his speech.

[DJ Envy]

You remember what you want to remember.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You make time for what you want.

[DJ Envy]

To make time for. Do the work, show up. And most importantly, for the love of God, don't embarrass me in public. My first acting coach was tough, y', all, but all great mothers are. Mama, you were there for me when no one else was and no one else would show up. Your loving kindness stays with me. And this is for you. Thank you to the Academy. I am fully. I am humbled. I am honored.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And as my mama would say, whoa, look at God.

[DJ Envy]

Great speech. What is he in? I didn't hear of him.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So he's in the Severance. The show the Severance.

[DJ Envy]

I'm not familiar.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, so I haven't Watched it either. But Brandon was actually telling me about one of the producers. He was saying that it has something to do with, like, the. They go into work and they remember nothing from their life before work, and then they leave work remembering nothing from work. It's like something like. It's like a mind game show. I haven't watched it, but I'm just.

[DJ Envy]

Really happy to read history.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, I mean, I thought it was kind of. I'm like, this 2020. But we always do this every year when there's a shot, right?

[DJ Envy]

You like, Damn. I didn't even know.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Exactly. And his mom was there, so it was a great, like, you know, moment for them. You saw them on the carpet. You saw him do interviews after just talking about how, you know, she just influenced his life. So it was a good moment for.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Them to share that.

[DJ Envy]

Brother. Yeah. How you know what job to go to if you don't remember being there?

[Lauren LaRosa]

I. I have not watched the show, but Brandon did tell me our producer said that it is a really great show and that he deserved this award a thousand times over.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, I'm gonna watch it. I'm gonna check it out.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Same now. And other things that took place.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Why you say like that? I am.

[DJ Envy]

All right.

[Lauren LaRosa]

No, I made a list of shows, too.

[DJ Envy]

Give me a review.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The thing is, when something is that good and a brother wins. You want to see?

[DJ Envy]

Yes, If I got time, I'll watch it. It's a lot going on nowadays. No, for real, man. It's a lot of content to consume.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Last night, I literally was making a list of all the shows that I was like, okay, maybe I gotta sit and watch this. And I'm like, yeah, but, yeah, so they did a short Golden Girls tribute last night. They also celebrated 35 years of law and Order. They, Olivia Benson, Ice T, and, you know, all the cast on stage to present the outstanding drama series.

[DJ Envy]

Did they do anything for girlfriends? It's 25 years of girlfriends.

[Lauren LaRosa]

No, they did not do anything for Girlfriends. But I did see the cast of Girlfriends got together on their own with Mara Brock Akil. They look so good. What?

[DJ Envy]

New to this day?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yes. Yes. But no, they did not do anything for Girlfriends. Now, Seth Rogen took home a ton of Emmys. A lot of them. Yeah, outstanding. He took home one for outstanding comedy series for the studio. Outstanding actor in a comedy series, outstanding writer for a comedy series, along with the writing team, outstanding director in a comedy series. The studio was also one of the shows I wrote down to watch because they took home a lot of Awards. But a big point of the night was Ms. Phylicia Rashad, who came on stage to start the immemorial tribute that they do now. When she comes on stage, if you're watching the Emmys, it was. The shot was just like, oh, my God. It was very emotional. You see her, and behind her is Malcolm Jamal Warner. And she opens up this tribute for, you know, all the people that we've lost over the year. Specifically talking about Malcolm Jamal Warner, let's take a listen.

[DJ Envy]

He was a beloved teenager in an.

[Teslin Figaro]

Iconic television series who the world watched grow into manhood.

[DJ Envy]

And like all our friends and colleagues who transitioned this past year, Malcolm Jamal.

[Teslin Figaro]

Warner remains in our hearts tonight.

[DJ Envy]

As is tradition at the Emmys, we remember them not just for their immense talent, but also for the way they made us believe in something bigger, the best that is within us. And even though they may no longer be here with us, we can all smile knowing that their impact will remain, knowing that their lasting impressions will come, continue to live on through story, knowing that they touched our lives. And whether you grew up watching them or have just now discovered their brilliance, their light remains in the very fabric of our industry.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I love that.

[DJ Envy]

The fact that she can stand up there and do that with all that strength, and her mom just passed away. That's amazing. That.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That is crazy. You know, you say that over the weekend, we were burying Gia's best friend who passed away, and we passed the studio again, and I did the interview with Malcolm Jabbal wanna go into Georgia. And I started tearing. So the fact that she can do this and keep it together is amazing.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah. Just seeing the imagery was, for me, I was like, oh, wow.

[DJ Envy]

And then her voice along with it.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yes. And Malcolm Jamal Warner, the Living Legacy Instagram, which is ran by his mom. We talked about them starting that. Posted the tribute or a screenshot of a People article of the tribute and said thank you to the television Academy and Ms. Phylicia Rashad for this wonderful tribute to Malcolm. This even. And a lot of times these award shows, you know, there's always conversation about them leaving people out and forgetting certain things. I'm glad they got this one right. With Malcolm Jamal Warner.

[DJ Envy]

You couldn't leave Malcolm Jamal Warner out. The Cosby show was the biggest. Literally the biggest TV show on tv.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I agree. Would you have been surprised if they did?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes.

[DJ Envy]

Hell, yeah. That would have been. Yeah, that would have been a different. In my opinion.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Hell, yeah.

[Nick Cannon]

I would have been.

[DJ Envy]

I would have been glaring.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I was just happy that they did it. The way they did it and he got what he, you know, they. Oh, she opened it. I thought it was a great, you know, tribute and all the things, but yeah, that was the Emmys last night.

[DJ Envy]

Night.

[Lauren LaRosa]

It was actually probably one of the hardest Emmys to watch, in my opinion. Yeah, it was really rough.

[DJ Envy]

If I'm not mistaken, I believe Michael Jamal 1 was nominated for Emmy for the Cosby show at one point. Oh, wow. Yeah, they got nominated a lot, but I think they won like five or six of them. But he. He definitely got nominated for, like, best supporting actor at the end.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Music yeah. Supporting actor in a comedy series. 19 in 1986, according to the articles online. Yes. Shout out out to them.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's the latest with Lauren. All right. Sh. Man, who you giving that donkey to?

[DJ Envy]

Man 4 After the hour. It is the holiday season. I don't know if y' all know that or not. And people are picking up extra jobs. Just don't make sure. Just make sure you're picking up the right. Right job. Why you looking at me like that? It's the holiday season.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I thought it was whites.

[DJ Envy]

You can't wear whites.

[Morgan Wood]

Up next.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Man is crazy.

[DJ Envy]

You're checking out the Breakfast Club.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Your execution on the donkey of the.

[DJ Envy]

Day is something to behold.

[Nick Cannon]

Is it a reason?

[Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett]

He gave me donkey of the day.

[DJ Envy]

And I deserve the people need to know.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Well, you need to tell them.

[DJ Envy]

I am because you have the voice. Tell them it's time for donkey of the day.

[Nick Cannon]

It's a read.

[DJ Envy]

But you're so good at it, you're trying to be a fake ass Charlemagne. There's only one Charlemagne involved. Damn Charlemagne. Who you give a dusty other day to now? Don't you hate when Instagram makes you question your choices? What you mean like I reported them people? You know, the people that leave the spam that says I wonder why people go to the bathroom when they look at my pictures. So I report it as nudity and Instagram gonna ask me am I under 18? What that got to do with it? I got nothing to do with it, God damn it. I reported it because I didn't want it Anyway, donkey. Today for Monday, September 15th goes to a 62 year old California chef named Valentino Luchin. Now we are in the fourth quarter of 2025. You might as well say we in the holiday season people, okay? Once Dunkin Donuts puts the pumpkin spice items on the menu and spirit Halloween stores start popping up. We in the holiday season and both of those things have happened already. So the holiday season is here and a lot of people pick up extra work during the holiday season, okay? A lot of people have to work two and three jobs depending on pay for the holidays. Okay? Last holiday season 2024, there was a survey done by side hustles.com that found 78% of Americans are either already side hustling or planning to pick up a side gig to afford their holiday expenses. Of those respondents, 59% already have an extra job and another 19% plan on starting one. Well, Chef Valentino Luchin is one of those people who decided to pick up another gig for the holiday. Would you like to know what other gigs Chef Valentino Luchin picked up for the holidays? Well, let's go to trending news for the report, please.

[Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett]

If your chef's hat looks suspiciously like a disguise, you might be a bank robber. If you're serving up souffles one day and subpoenas the next, you're definitely in trouble. This is the story of Valentino Lucien, a man who switched from fine dining to felony. On September 10, 2025, San Francisco Police raced to a bank on Grand Avenue. The suspect, not your usual mask villain, but Valentino Luchin. A known for his pasta, not his pilfering. He handed the teller a threatening note, grabbed the cash and vanished. But the city's finest and some sharp eyed locals didn't let him get far. Thanks to they tracked him down and arrested him. No drama, no car chase, just a chef caught off menu. Here's the real investigators linked Luchin to same method, same chef's touch. Now instead of plating up risotto, Luchen's facing a full serving of charges at the Count county jail in San Francisco. Crime doesn't pay, but it sure makes a wild story.

[DJ Envy]

62 years old and decided he wanted to rob three banks in one day. Proving you're never too old to make bad decisions. It pains me to have to say this, but you should never trade your spatula for a ski mask, okay? When you have a legitimate job, okay, a legitimate skill set that can make you money, you never, ever, ever, under any circumstance, trade that for a life of crime time. See, some of y' all don't appreciate the positions God has put you in. And you always let the devil convince you that you need more and you need it now instead of just being patient and letting the gifts God gave you make room for you when the time is right. How you go from parent preparing risotto, the preparing to do 25, to life at 62, okay? This isn't a young man, all right? This is how I know wisdom requires more than just, you know, living a long life. Even fools grow old. This man had a legit legitimate job, a legitimate skill, a job that, depending on employment type, could get him benefits and health insurance. But he said, you know what I'm really missing? A federal indictment. Okay? What bothers me the most about this is when you read more into the story. In 2018, he was arrested on suspicion of armed robbery at a bank. Back then, he was 54. And he said in a jailhouse interview that he robbed the bank back then because at the time, he thought it was a good plan. So from 54 to 62, Chef Valentino hasn't learned a damn thing about what's a good plan or not. Forget farm the table. He went from kitchen to prison. So now, instead of worrying about a potential souffle collapse, you got to worry about a rectal prolapse. Please give Valentino Luchin the sweet sounds of the hammer tones of the day. And if you're wondering what erectal prolapse is, it's a condition where the rectum, the last part of the large intestine, protrudes through the anus. That's crazy. 62, Robin Banks. I, I.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, thank you.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, cuz we weren't wondering.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, but.

[DJ Envy]

But, yeah, that's crazy. Three banks in one day. Crazy. 62, you said. You know what I'm missing a federal indictment. Got one. Three banks in one day, man. That's crazy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That is wild. All right, well, you got a job.

[DJ Envy]

You a shop.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, that's.

[DJ Envy]

That's crazy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All right, well, thank you for that donkey today.

[DJ Envy]

Yes, indeed.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Now, when we come back, Jasmine Cracker will be joining us. So we going to kick it with her next. So don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. Good Morning, the Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the back building.

[DJ Envy]

She goes by the name of Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett. How are you?

[Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett]

I'm making it.

[DJ Envy]

How you feeling?

[Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett]

It's tough. It's a tough time. It's a tough time in this country for all people in general. But obviously, as someone who isn't afraid to speak her mind, our country is truly falling apart, and it is devolving into next level chaos as well as next level violence.

[DJ Envy]

I hate to say it, you were one of the first people that I thought. I thought about after I saw what happened with Charlie Kirk. Because, you know, I. I don't. I don't want that to happen to anybody. I don't think anybody should be killed because of their opinion or attacked because of their opinion. And, you know, what. What. What happens over there definitely will happen, you know, on this side. Yeah. And that definitely makes somebody like you a target.

[Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett]

Yeah. I mean, there were so many people that immediately reached out from all over and was like, what is going on with your security? Like, we need to make sure that you're good. Like, are you somewhere safe? And I had to make sure that I called my mom because I knew that my mom would just want to hear my voice. It really shouldn't be that way. And we now are engaging in conversations again about the safety or lack thereof for elected officials that are in Congress. I mean, I have to pay for my own security. Like, so I have to raise money to keep myself safe, because they will not. Not pay to take care of us, even though the other two branches of government, they pay for their protection. So, you know, hopefully we can engage in some real conversations around what it looks like to get us some real safety. But also, we need to engage in, like, what really does cross the line. Right. Like, so we do have free speech in this country, but are you free to say just any and everything? Right. Like, I mean, there are limits to all of our constitutional protection as well as, like, what kind of standard are we going to hold ourselves to when you are sitting, say, in the Oval Office or, you know, in the House, like, how far will you go? And so, you know, I hate that some of my colleagues on the other side of the aisle immediately came out and they were like, oh, you know, this is on the Democrats. Like, we don't even know who did what. And y' all are like, this is on the Democrats. Right. Like, I mean, obviously, the first thing that you know, anybody would say. And you didn't have any Democrat that went out there and said otherwise is. Is like, we're denouncing political violence, but we're just assuming, like, and we just want to be clear, like, that we're not down for political violence. But that doesn't mean that that's what it was. Right? Like, we know that people, especially me, having done criminal defense, most offenses like this were personal in the first place. Now, I'm not saying that this was a personal thing, but I'm saying, like, the fact that this can't be personal is. Is wild, right? Like, the fact that they are presuming that this is somebody that came from our side of the aisle. We know. Know that in.

[DJ Envy]

That's dangerous. That's very dangerous.

[Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett]

It is dangerous. We've seen writings and manifestos, and we've seen where it looks like the two people that went after the president before he was the president had ties to the Republican Party. Like, they had not voted Democratic. They were registered as Republicans. Like, so let's talk about it. We know that there were members of Congress that left the House last session because they received threats. Not from liberals. They received threats from Mass MAGA because literally, they would not vote for the MAGA candidate to become speaker of the House. So we've got to talk about, like, what it means when you're running for president or you're running for one of these higher offices, and you go out there and you talk about beating people up. You go out there and you say things like, I could shoot somebody in the middle of the street in New York, and I could still win. We got to talk about, like, that. That is next level. Me disagreeing with you, me calling you, you know, I want to be Hitler. All those things are, like, not necessarily saying, go out and hurt somebody, but when you're literally telling people at rallies, yeah, beat them up, and that kind of stuff, like, you are promoting, like, a culture of violence. So we need to talk about, like, what it looks like when you don't promote a culture of violence.

[DJ Envy]

I think. I mean, the funny part is it's not funny, but both sides of the aisle do it. So it's like, you know, they'll get on y' all for, you know, saying that, hey, we call them wannabe Hitler, blah, blah, blah. But they call Democrats fat fascists.

[Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett]

They call us socialists, they call us all things. But I don't think that that actually evokes an environment of violence. I think literally saying things about, like, oh, these people don't deserve to live. Or the images of what we're seeing right now as ICE is going into communities and dragging people and kicking them and taking them down to the ground and busting windows out like that is the we have never seen seen these types of images of ice, right? Or the idea that you had people that went in on January 6th and they literally beat law enforcement. We had people that died and on day one and they were convicted, we're talking about over a thousand people arrested. We're talking about convictions that they either pled to or they they went to trial and they were found guilty.

[Lauren LaRosa]

It's Morgan Wood from the Black Information Network. Many in this world are pushing lies, fostering hate, and dividing our children. Others in this world refuse to let that stand. Meet four of the others. Pastor Dumasani, Washington, Dr. Brandy Schubatinsky, artist Tamir Peretz, and black Israeli Arab student activist Tamer Masouddin. 4 Voices of Truth loudly crushing propaganda. Join them, them and me. Because truth matters.

[Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett]

And some of them got 20 years or so. And then on day one, you say, let me let them go. And we know that since those people have been let go, that at least one got caught up for a murder plot. Another one ended up with a reckless homicide. Another one ended up with child porn. We know that at least 10 of them ended up with new cases for doing other things. And so it's, it's like we have the criminal that I would call injustice system. But the idea is supposed to be that, like, you know, you do bad, we gonna put you up so that people maybe will be deterred from doing bad. But it's almost like bad behavior is being rewarded. And if, like, the worst that I can say is like, that I understand history that you're trying to take out of like the schools and that the balance of power is out of balance and that you are operating as a dictator by invoking, quote, unquote, emergency powers illegally, consistently, that you are constantly violating the Constitution. These are just facts. That doesn't mean that I want somebody to go out and hurt the President of the United States. In fact, when those attempts took place in a bipartisan way, we voted to raise the amount of money that is allowed and allotted to protect him. So, no, I can say that your policies are bad. I can say you're a criminal because you have been found guilty of 34 convictions. Like, I can say all these things because they are true. That's not even just free speech. This is just facts. So don't get mad that I speak the truth and I speak facts, but I literally have never said anything to invoke violence. And I challenged somebody to go and find a clip of a Democrat invoking violence. Right now. Everybody's gotten so Sensitive. I. I woke up and a friend sent me a text message where somebody else had been fired for repeating Charlie Kirk's words, right? Like, they're firing people and they're canceling people. Because people have gone out and looked at some of the things that he said. I'm gonna be honest. I never said a word about Charlie Kirk. Like, he wasn't on my radar. Like, I was, wasn't. I don't go and follow the right wing special people.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Like, I don't.

[Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett]

Like, it's just not. I got other things to do. And some of my friends who had never heard of him were like, let's dig. Let's figure who is he, right? Because people are like, this is coming up on our feed, and we don't know what's going on. We don't know who it is. And literally, I didn't know he had ever talked about me. And I guess it was recently, but, like, I had never seen it. I never paid attention to it, whatever, you know what I mean? And that's kind of where we got to get to. But I think ever talking about who should die, ever saying who should be beat up, ever saying who doesn't deserve to live, you know, taking people and throwing them in cages to the extent that they're literally dying, I mean, we've had more in custody deaths as it relates to ice. We're on record to hit a record record for that. And so, like, are we going to have these real conversations? On that same day, we had kids that were shot again, Colorado, at another school. And there's been no conversation around those kids. And the thing is, what did they do wrong? Nothing. They showed up to school. That's what happened with them. Right? And so, you know, we've got to talk about the culture of guns in this country and what it looks like to truly, truly understand what the Second Amendment stands for. And it doesn't mean that everybody got to be the wild, wild West. And now can we have a conversation about everybody having guns doesn't necessarily prevent gun violence.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We're still kicking it with Jasmine Crockett. Charlemagne.

[DJ Envy]

What did you think about Kamala Harris, former bp? Kamala Harris, her. Her excerpt from her book where she finally speaks her truth in regards to the Biden administration, how they wouldn't come to her defense, how they helped to spread negative narratives. But about her, what did you think.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Of that Queen drop her resume?

[Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett]

So I. So, so that day I was at work, so I haven't read through it. And that was the Charlie Kirk Day. As well. So I was stuck for till like 9pm at the Capitol. I will say this. As a national co chair on that campaign, when I had an opportunity to talk to the vice president as frankly and honestly as I typically speak, maybe with even more frankness on some of my cuss words, that is how I would talk to the vp. And there were a lot of people that did not understand why and how the VP ever picked me as a national co chair. It is not every day that you have a black woman freshman that ends up becoming a national co chair on what truly was a historic campaign. I'm a matter what the results ultimately were. And one of the reasons is because she never had to worry about me backstabbing her, like being 10 toes down, like telling her and I wasn't one of those surrogates that's like, oh, send me and have me do a rally. No, no, no, no. I'm trying to get in the streets. I'm trying to talk to the real people. And then I would try to report back to her and let her know, like, yo, this is what I'm feeling in the streets. That kind of. And stuff. Because I never wanted anything other than her to win because that was a win for the American people. And I think that people took for granted how perceptive she was of who it was that literally her riders were. It is one of the reasons that we saw Secretary Fudge being elevated as one of her national co chairs. Another person that when the history books are written, there will be so many black women elected that will talk about kind of all that Secretary Fudge has been to so many of us behind the scenes. So I will say that I am not surprised because there were a lot of things that were going on. Number one, we had those that were trying to push Biden out, but they weren't just trying to push Biden out. They were trying to push her out. They didn't want to her to become the nominee. They had their pick in mind, and it wasn't either one of them. And, you know, I remember tweeting, when it was actually decent to do, I remember tweeting out and saying that I would only go and bust my ass for one candidate and that would be the vice president. If they came up with anybody else, God bless them. Good luck. But I'm not about to run myself ragged when y' all decided to kind of do this.

[DJ Envy]

So.

[Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett]

There's so many layers to what it is to be in elected office. And it is always tough to build a team of Trust it is what matters most. You can teach somebody the skills, but you can't teach anybody to literally have your back. And politics is such an ugly game that it is so important. And so the bigger your team gets, the more difficult it is. Now, do I believe that the president himself, himself did anything against the vice president? I don't. Everything that I know about Joe Biden, as well as the vp, she never backstabbed him. To be like, oh, this is my chance. Let me try to get it. Nothing like that. And you can't have a vice president that's always gunning for your job. You have to have a vice president that is like riding out and going to do the things. And so I think between the two of them, while I've not read her book at this point in time, time, I feel absolutely confident that she never backstabbed him and he never backstabbed her. But when it comes to staff, life gets real. Yeah, life gets real tricky.

[DJ Envy]

Do you ever get tired of being loyal to people who aren't loyal to you? Because, Jasmine, I've seen them do the exact same thing to you that they do to Kamala, especially when you lost your bid to be the top dim on the oversight panel. I've said it a million times on the radio, everywhere. I've. There is nobody who should be front and center more in the Democratic party than you right now. Just because you bring the eyeballs, you know how to message. Whether people like it, whether people don't like it, you know how to message.

[Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett]

Yeah. So I. I truly believe that everything happens for a reason, Even the bad things or even the things that I believe made best sense. Me running for oversight was always about trying to do best by my party, by the caucus, and trying to hopefully get us into a better space with the people that we serve. But at the end of the day, if people don't want my service, they don't want my service. But if I said that I was not disappointed with how much I had given to a caucus, that then felt like they reduced me to not being worth it. Like, very much. It was eye opening. And so for me, I look at it like God was trying to reveal to me and let me know, like, yo, like, you cutting for some people, that ain't checking for you. Right? Like, you need to recenter and rebalance yourself. And so I did decide specifically after that that I was gonna focus more on working with the black faith community and making sure that they have the information that they need, making sure that they're organizing in the way that they need to organize and really availing myself of them and making sure that I could support them with some resources because I.

[DJ Envy]

Very humble. You raised over $4 million for the caucus. You did over 110 trips. You. You gave out almost 600, 000. You was the seventh highest fundraiser in the whole caucus for quarter one this year, right?

[Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Come on now.

[Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett]

Yeah. No, I mean, it was in Q2. I moved up. I was even higher. So.

[DJ Envy]

So they cool with you laboring, you know, in the field, but they don't to want you leading from, from, from at the table. Come on now.

[Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett]

That is what it felt like. So, you know, I mean, listen, sometimes you have to be put into an uncomfortable position in order to move you. And so for me, it was about kind of recentering and talking to God and saying, okay, it's clear that, like, this isn't what you want me to do, so, like, where is it that you want me to go? So, you know, we will see. Like, you just asked me about, you know, you know, which seat I'm running in and that kind of stuff. There are definitely those that want me to run statewide. So we're not ruling out a statewide run either. So there's just a lot of things at play because it's like, maybe the House, maybe it's over. Maybe that was the message. Like, I don't know. We'll see what numbers look like.

[DJ Envy]

We'll see when it might be a thing.

[Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett]

Potentially, Potentially, potentially, we'll see. I mean, right now I'm focused on the redistricting. We're in trial, we're doing those things, but, you know, filing doesn't end until December. And so what we're going to do is we're going to evaluate. We're not going to take anything off the table. And we'll see. We know that my current Attorney General, Paxton, is a uniquely bad candidate.

[DJ Envy]

And.

[Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett]

And it would be the best kind of you to the Republicans to specifically target my state, specifically target my district worried about a House seat, and then I'd be able to snatch a Senate seat. So we'll see. We'll keep doing evaluations. I can tell you that from everything that we know without having done our own polling, it is definitely within striking range. So we'll. We'll see.

[DJ Envy]

Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett. Man, please play for, pray for Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett. Always. And, you know, you just be safe out here.

[Lauren LaRosa]

All right?

[DJ Envy]

We appreciate you.

[Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett]

Good to see you.

[DJ Envy]

It's the Breakfast Club.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ envy. Just hilarious. Charlamagne the guy. We are the breakfast club. Let's get to the latest with Lauren.

[DJ Envy]

Lauren becoming with straight fat. She gets them from somebody that knows somebody. She gets the details.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about everything.

[DJ Envy]

She be having the latest on it.

[Morgan Wood]

The latest with Lauren larosa.

[DJ Envy]

Sometimes you have facts, sometimes she have details. Sometimes she have a little bit of everything. Well, it's the latest on the breakfast club. Talk to me.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So over the weekend, another big congratulation goes out to the clips. They became the first rappers to perform at the Vatican. Now. Now this took place during the grace world concert which was broadcasted live on disney plus hulu and abc news live. They performed the birds don't sing, which is their song with John legend from let God sort them out. Let's take a listen to the clips in John legend.

[DJ Envy]

I love you, Matt Nige hate that he won't remember you Two things that break my heart is what november's do.

[Nick Cannon]

And t follows you now mind you.

[DJ Envy]

Dee dee calls you gen finds you Was that your vision precision While I'm reminiscing It all hits different my listen.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The birds don't sing the birds don't sing they screech.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, yeah. Birds don't sing the birds don't sing they screech, yeah. Now why is that a big deal that they performed at the Vatican?

[Lauren LaRosa]

It was a big deal because I think a lot of people don't know pharrell's involvement in this. So Pharrell. So first of all, the global event is something that took place in this location for the very first time ever. The concert, the global event was co directed and executive produced by pharrell.

[DJ Envy]

But why the Vatican, though? Why the Vatican? Why?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Well, because. So the setting. So the setting of. Of the event is a part of the human fraternity, the world meeting on human fraternity, which brings together people from all over the world to focus on what truly makes us humans.

[Teslin Figaro]

Peace.

[Lauren LaRosa]

It's unity. The Vatican, you know, symbolizes a place of, like, spirituality.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's the center of the catholic church.

[DJ Envy]

I didn't know you could do. I thought you only couldn't do secular music in the.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I didn't think so either.

[DJ Envy]

That's. You can only do gospel.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, I think so too.

[Lauren LaRosa]

This was the first time that the concert went down and pharrell epd it and brought it to life. There were over 300,000 people in attendance. It was open to the public.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But the song that they did was talking about their parents, though.

[Nick Cannon]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So it wasn't quote unquote secular because he was talking about his mom and his pops.

[DJ Envy]

That's still a secular record. Like the guy rap. What you mean?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, but he's talking about his mom and his father passed away, and his.

[DJ Envy]

Dad and their relationship don't mean nothing else. Well, they looked good. They sounded good. You got John legend pulling up to perform with you. You doing something right?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yes. And he was actually on the keys when they started. And, you know, they had the. The choir with them. Now.

[DJ Envy]

Pharrell actually spoke because secular music is just non religious music. Please keep that in mind. Okay.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Pharrell actually spoke and he talked a bit about just the event itself in the world stage that it was on the stage. Take a listen.

[DJ Envy]

To stand here in this holy place.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

With my fellow artists, world leaders, and.

[DJ Envy]

All of you beautiful souls, My humblest and sincerest thanks. First and foremost, I want to sincerely.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Thank his holiness pope Leo for opening the doors to this sacred place to.

[DJ Envy]

Us all and reminding us that true compassion and grace begin with fraternity, Seeing one another as brothers and sisters and.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Fellow human beings and fellow siblings.

[DJ Envy]

And to all the artists who have.

[Nick Cannon]

Brought their bright light to this moment.

[DJ Envy]

Today, I want you to understand that.

[Nick Cannon]

I and all of us, we feel grace. We feel love.

[DJ Envy]

Grace is a light that lives in.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Each of us, waiting to be shared.

[Nick Cannon]

Not just a blessing that we receive.

[DJ Envy]

But a force that we extend to one another. Well, dropping the clues bomb for the clips and Pharrell also.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Also Pope Leo for opening up the Vatican for them. You know, he's from Chicago. He's from the chi town. So he was like, oh, the Pope. Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Okay.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

From the shy. I don't know if he's from oblique. I don't know if he's from Mobile, but he was born in Chicago.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, I know.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

They look good, though.

[DJ Envy]

And a choir killed it.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yes.

[DJ Envy]

Sound really good.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Now in other.

[DJ Envy]

Terence Crawford and Terence Thornton both had amazing weekends this week. Two times.

[Lauren LaRosa]

And now in other concert news, I want to take a Take a second to congratulate Jeezy who announced that he'll be doing a residency in Van Vegas. So you guys know that he's been doing the TM 101 Orchestra tour.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's right.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Now, they did invite.

[DJ Envy]

That's what they need in the Vatican.

[Lauren LaRosa]

They. No, that was all human.

[DJ Envy]

Ain't secular at all. Y. That's not gospel secular.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Nothing.

[DJ Envy]

They can't perform there.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Well, so they announced after his final show in Detroit on Friday that he be heading to Vegas in a residency. And I, I want to really salute his team because they prioritize black media for this announcement. So they flew in a bunch of media. They didn't invite us to go, but I wasn't able to make it. They flew in a bunch of media to sit down with Jeezy so he could talk through what's about to happen and to give them the announcement first. So we were able to get it posted online early and I saw Shade Room do it. Hollywood unlocked as well. Let's take a listen to Jeezy talking about the residency.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What we was working on is Planet Hollywood. We're actually doing a residency residency in October and December. The October residency is the Masquerade. TM101 live. The Masquerade. The same crew but this time we bring in a hundred and one piece orchestra conducted by Derek Hodges, produced by Adam Blackstone, DJ drama, DJ Ace and your boy there. And a Color of Noise symphony orchestra will be in the building. And the December dates are the Nutcracker. So we bring in the Nutcracker to Vegas. So TM101 live is coming to Vegas. We're doing a Masquerade for Halloween and we're doing a Nutcracker for Christmas. If you don't call that black excellence and leveling up, I don't know what is.

[DJ Envy]

What do you mean when he said they doing the Nutcracker like the play.

[Lauren LaRosa]

They'Re going to be playing off? I don't think they're going to actually do the play. I think they're going to the thing. Well, I think what he's saying is like. Because he does if you. I went to G dg so when he was here in Harlem and it's a concert but you know, everybody was dressed up in their black and white and all the things I think he's going to theme in around the mat the Nutcracker for the December dates. There's two December dates and then theme it around the Masquerade Halloween. Like people dress up that way.

[DJ Envy]

So it's more of a theme.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, I don't, I don't. From what I saw here when he was in New York, I don't see them doing a play.

[DJ Envy]

I thought he was getting in the Broadway. You never know. Jeezy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I think it's just gonna be cracker thing though. It's Christmas.

[DJ Envy]

No. The girl Clara who toy came to life and. And led her the other toys in the battle. You don't know the Nutcracker but what.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Do you how you dress?

[DJ Envy]

I know.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

How do you dress towards suited up?

[DJ Envy]

It's like blazer, red blazer, black pants. First of all, I was talking about the drinks.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, okay.

[DJ Envy]

You know what I'm saying?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You started the show talking about buttholes. So what are you talking about?

[DJ Envy]

He definitely did.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He did.

[DJ Envy]

Crazy.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

[Lauren LaRosa]

Nothing. Tickets go on sale in September. You said you were talking about the drink Nutcracker.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, just keep up.

And also too, he announced that still snowing, he's going to do another gangster grills with DJ Drama. Yeah, we'll drop September 28th in honor of him being in the game, you know, for 20 years.

[DJ Envy]

Maybe a coming home because he was born in Columbia. Okay.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, that'd be.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, maybe shout out to Jeezy, too. Cause when he was in Detroit, he spoke to at a bunch of high schools talking about health care and make sure you get tested. I seen him ran into Southwest T, which is one of the brothers from bmf. And the first time they ever seen each other in a long time.

[Nick Cannon]

[DJ Envy]

Absolutely. When does the residency start?

[Lauren LaRosa]

The Residency will start October 31st. Halloween. That is the kickoff day in Vegas.

[DJ Envy]

[Lauren LaRosa]

No, Halloween is the kickoff day. That's why they're doing the masquerade. The whole masquerade thing. That's what you talking about, Masquerade? And then Nutcracker for Christmas.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

[DJ Envy]

You're checking out the Breakfast Club.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Now we got a salute to Nick Cannon and Jasmine Crockett for joining us this morning.

[DJ Envy]

Man. Salute to Jasmine Crockett and Nick Cannon. Nick Cannon was here to promote his late night talk show, Nick at Night. But, you know, he just. I don't know, he revealed a lot. I never knew that. He got diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder a couple of years ago. I didn't even know that was a thing.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I had no idea either.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, Narcissistic personality disorder disorder. Okay, Mr. Mental Health King. We didn't know. Yeah, I just thought, you know, okay, that was pretty common thing. Especially everybody like to throw a word. Throw. Throw that around. Nowadays. They've been throwing that around for like the last diagnosis diagnosed. Yeah, I had no idea. 100% did not know. And then, you know, he said that, you know, which was interesting, that having those kids was a response to trauma. Yeah, it was interesting conversation. And salute to Jasmine Crockett. She pulled up on Friday and we just, we aired it back this morning, but we put it out over the weekend. But, you know, definitely putting her up in prayer all the time. And, you know, this was just such a great content weekend. I mean, between the great football that we watched when my Cowboys busted the Giants ass, you know, Terence Crawford becoming three time undisputed champion. I also started reading Kamala Harris's book because that came in the mail for me on Friday. So it was just a great, great weekend of content. Yes, a lot of. A lot of consumption of content this weekend.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All right.

[DJ Envy]

And I saw him over the weekend.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You see him?

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, I saw him. What's his name? The movie starring Marlon Wayans, the new Jordan. Marlon will be joining us this week.

[DJ Envy]

Yo, did you like the movie him? It was interesting. I watched it. I actually had to watch it twice. Okay. And I appreciated it more the second time. I didn't dislike it when I watched it the first time. It's just one of those movies where you like, all right, if you fell asleep for five, 10 minutes, you better wake your ass up because you got to pay attention to every single, single, you know, thing that happens. But Marlon did. Marlon did a fantastic job.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm watching this.

[DJ Envy]

Marlon did a fantastic. I mean, Marlon. And the guy that played the dude. What's his name? Cameron, character. Yeah, okay. He did fantastic.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All right, it's time to get up out of here. Charlemagne. You got a positive note?

[DJ Envy]

Yes. The positive note is simply this, man. We can all make a difference in the lives of others in need because it is the most simple of justice that make the most significant of differences. I repeat, we can all make a difference in the lives of others in need because it is the most simple of justice gestures that make the most significant of differences. So, you know, you walk past the homeless person today and you got a couple of dollars to spare, Give it to them. If you got, you know, some. You want to go grab them some food, do it. Because it's just like this simple of gestures that make the most significant of differences. Trust when I tell you. Have a great day, Breakfast club bitches.
