Pump day.
Charlamagne Tha God
That's right. It's Wednesday, middle of the week. How y' all feeling? What's up, Red? What's up? All right. Back from an amazing vacation.
DJ Envy
You enjoyed your couple days off.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yes, My daughter got engaged. Hey, congratulations, brother. Oh, man. I'm sure we'll talk about it later on the show, but just. It's my first. Of course. She's 23. She'll be 24 next month. And just to see how happy she was and how they are as a young couple and the process of the engagement, it was. Oh, man. Man, you know, I'm a crier, so I cry all the whole trip. So, you know, he approached my wife. Andrew, which is her fiance, approached my wife a couple of months ago and said he wanted to do it. He said Madison's whole thing is family and travel. So he wanted to do a place where she's never been, but she wanted her family to go. So it was Mykonos, Greece. So that's what he said it. But he said he wanted to do it as a surprise. So what he wanted to do was, we'll break it down later in the show is everything was a surprise. She didn't know she was going. He got my wife to pack her bag. So it was like a. Pretty much picked her up from work, and they went straight to the airport, had no clue what they were doing. And we flew out there before them and surprised him. It was just amazing. So congratulations to Andrew and Madison. So congratulations, God. Thank you. All right. But let's get the show cracking. We got Keisha Lance bottom. She'll be joining us this morning. Of course, you know, she was the mayor of Atlanta, so we'll be kicking it with her. Now, the gang is going to be a little late. I'm just telling you that the gang is probably going to be late all week long. All right, so UN Is in town. The president is in town, and what they're doing now because I guess maybe the recent shooting of the CEO a couple of months ago and things that's been happening around the city, they have blocked everything off, and they're not letting us get up the block without us stepping out the car and them searching the whole. You got searched. What?
DJ Envy
Oh, man.
Charlamagne Tha God
They had to open up every door, every hatch, everything. They had to check the car. And I told the guy, I said, look, I'm about to be late. Can you just slide me through he said, no, you got to go back around the block and go in this, this private lane. So we went back around the block in this private lane and I was still late. Yeah, but they searched everything and they searching everything they said. And he told me, he says this is gonna happen for the next couple of weeks. So he was like, I advise you to leave a little earlier. I said, you're right. So I know Charlamagne is in that, that same, that, that same phone. Yep. I know Jess is in that same situation. It's nasty out there. But we news next. Mimi will be joining us, so don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.
DJ Envy
Morning, everybody.
Charlamagne Tha God
It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious Charlemagne. We are the Breakfast Club. The whole gang is late. If you're just joining us, the whole gang is going to be late all weekend. The UN is in town. They're stopping cars, they're pulling everybody over that has to drive in this area. So like I said, they pulled me out the car, they searched the whole car, maybe lifted the trunk, the front, all sides, all the doors were open. They had the dog sniffing everything. So I hope Jess ain't smoked before she got to work. But anyway, but let's get in some front page news. Let's start off with some quick sports. Now, you know, we do WNBA playoffs and NBA playoffs at WNBA is in playoff season. So Mercury versus Lynx. Mercury beat the links 89, 83. The Aces beat the Fever 90 to 68. And if you're a Giants fan, it looked like Jackson Dart is going to be starting over Russell Wilson. That's game four against the Charges. Now I feel like everybody who leaves the Giants do well. Of course. Saquon Barkley is busting assets. Daniel Jones three and oh, who's playing for the Colts is three and oh, and is playing great. Like great stats. But I guess we, we got that curse for a little bit. What's up, Mimi?
Keisha Lance Bottoms
Good morning, Envy. How are you?
Charlamagne Tha God
I'm doing well. How are you?
Keisha Lance Bottoms
Good, thanks. And congratulations to Madison. That's awesome.
Charlamagne Tha God
Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.
Keisha Lance Bottoms
Of course, of course.
Lauren LaRosa
Okay, so you were talking about the UN and being late and that is.
Keisha Lance Bottoms
Of course happening over the next few weeks.
Lauren LaRosa
And President Trump, he was there yesterday. The UN is holding its 80th annual gathering.
Keisha Lance Bottoms
President Trump deliver delivered one of the longest addresses by any American president. Nearly an hour of combative remarks that drew sharp criticism and even some laughter from world leaders. Let's listen to some of what he.
Charlamagne Tha God
Had to say in Switzerland.
DJ Envy
Beautiful Switzerland. 72% of the people in prisons are.
Charlamagne Tha God
From outside of Switzerland.
DJ Envy
When your prisons are filled with so called asylum seekers who repayed kindness and that's what they did, they repaid kindness with crime.
Charlamagne Tha God
It's time to end the failed experiment of open borders. You have to end it now.
DJ Envy
I'm really good at this stuff. Your countries are going to hell. In America, we've taken bold action to swiftly shut down uncontrolled migration. Once we started detaining and deporting everyone who crossed the border and removing illegal aliens from the United States, they simply stopped coming.
Charlamagne Tha God
They're not coming anymore. We're getting a lot of credit for they're not coming anymore.
Lauren LaRosa
So the speeches went on.
Keisha Lance Bottoms
His speech went on for about an hour and a half of just different.
Lauren LaRosa
Ramblings and different things like that. He went on to call climate change.
Keisha Lance Bottoms
The greatest con job ever perpetrated on the world and mocked wind power as pathetic.
Lauren LaRosa
He also lashed out at the UN itself, saying all it does is issue.
Keisha Lance Bottoms
Strongly worded letters and doesn't solve wars.
Lauren LaRosa
And there were a few lighter moments.
Keisha Lance Bottoms
He joked about the broken escalator when he got there. The escalator wasn't working, the broken teleprompter at one point.
Lauren LaRosa
But overall, Trump's message was clear borders.
Keisha Lance Bottoms
Keep drilling and stop letting global groups decide politics. And so at 7, we'll talk more about Jimmy Kimball and we'll also get into what Trump was saying about Tylenol and what the maker of Tylenol is now saying.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, I see what Trump. Nothing that he says is really based off of facts. This is just opinion and emotion, right? Yeah, because everybody's talking about the things that he's saying. There is no fact and there's no basis to what he's saying on any of it.
Lauren LaRosa
And especially when we talk about the Tylenol stuff. There's no study, there's no. It's just, you know, literally him just saying how he feels.
Keisha Lance Bottoms
And so there's been a lot of backlash about that, too. Envy.
Charlamagne Tha God
All right, we'll jump into that next hour. Everybody else, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, phone lines are wide open again. 800-585-1051. Get it off your chest. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Wake up, wake up, wake your ass.
DJ Envy
This is your time to get it off your chest.
Charlamagne Tha God
Whether you're mad or blessed, we want to hear from you on the Breakfast Club. Hello? Who's this? Taxi. Joe. What's up, brother? Good morning. Where you calling from?
DJ Envy
Pepsi Joe, bro? I'm in the Bronx right now, buddy.
Charlamagne Tha God
Oh, he said Pepsi Joe. Pepsi Joe. My bad.
DJ Envy
Yeah, Pepsi Joe. Yeah. I'm driving trucks. I just hope everybody's having a blessed day.
Charlamagne Tha God
Oh, here you go. You got one below. I'm just telling you, stay out of Manhattan this. This week because the city is crazy.
DJ Envy
Nah, nah, stay in the bench. I stay local.
Charlamagne Tha God
Okay.
DJ Envy
I just want. I want everybody. If you're going through something, I want you to know you can get over it. And we will get over it. You're stronger than whatever you're going through.
Charlamagne Tha God
Absolutely. Pepsi Joe, appreciate you for calling and checking in.
DJ Envy
Not a problem, man. Enjoy your day.
Charlamagne Tha God
You too. Now. Hello? Who's this? This is Tranil Chanel. What's up? Get it off your chest, man.
DJ Envy
I'm just calling it. I want to thank the Breakfast Club, especially Jess. Hilarious. For rocking with my brand.
Charlamagne Tha God
Ducking bad vibes.
DJ Envy
I've seen her wear it on air a bunch of times, so I want to call and tell her personally. Thank you.
Charlamagne Tha God
Okay, well, if she wears it, that means she must love it, so send us some more of it.
DJ Envy
I. I definitely will. Can I shout out the Instagram and everything?
Charlamagne Tha God
Of course. Go ahead, brother.
DJ Envy
The Instagram is ducking bad vibes, and the whole brand is in honor of my uncle who was killed. I'm from Aurora, Illinois. So you guys go check it out. Ducking bad vibes dot com. Thank you.
Charlamagne Tha God
All right, brother. Have a good one.
DJ Envy
You too, man.
Charlamagne Tha God
Hello? Who's this?
DJ Envy
It's. Nah.
Charlamagne Tha God
From Atlanta, brother. Now what's up? Get it off your chest, brother.
DJ Envy
First of all, I want to shout out that the people are riding with him. We see what he's going through, and.
Charlamagne Tha God
So glad to hear that he's back on the air.
DJ Envy
Not submitting or bowing down to the authoritarian BS that is our president.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, I'm glad he's back on air. I didn't. Like I said, I was out of town for the last eight days. My daughter got engaged, so I kind of was off the grid, so I'm just catching up. But I did see when he came back, and it's sad that people were happy that he was off air. And, you know, he was saying, like, a hundred people work for on that staff, so 100 people would have lost their jobs. But I'm glad he's back on air. And, you know, I always say, you know, you should be able to. To say what. What you want to say. And Take a joke. But people take things a little too far. But I'm. I'm glad he's back on there as well.
DJ Envy
See what he said last night on his program, for sure. Everything to say what he said last night could have been no more ex. Truthful to the fact that if we cannot openly express ourselves and make a light joke and have to worry about being fired and taken off and canceled or whatnot, that is the most un American thing that we have seen thus far from this cabinet.
Charlamagne Tha God
No, you're absolutely right. We should be able to take. People should be able to make a joke, and especially comedians. But for every action is a reaction. I can't get on this air and say what I want to say, how I want to say it, because if it offends the wrong person, yes, I can get suspended as well. But a normal joke. You're right. Be able to say what he wants to say and not get suspended for a joke. Especially when the ratings look totally different.
DJ Envy
Absolutely. Absolutely. And shout out to your daughter for her engagement. That is a beautiful thing. I did not forget it's still Virgo season, so happy birthday, DJ Envy. Everybody that calls up, make sure you shout out DJ every birthday.
Charlamagne Tha God
Hey, thank you, brother. Appreciate you, man. Be safe out there.
DJ Envy
You too, brother. God bless.
Charlamagne Tha God
All right, now. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up now. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. This is your time to get it off your chest, whether you're mad or blessed. 800-585-1051. We want to hear from you on the Breakfast Club. Hello? Who's this?
DJ Envy
Well, DJ Envy, this your boy Freaky D calling from Detroit, Michigan. What up, Doe?
Charlamagne Tha God
What up, Doe? What up,', Freaky D? Talk to us. Get it off your chest.
DJ Envy
Hey, man. Well, y' all gotta stop being late. Shout out to you for being on time today. I just gotta get off my chest, man.
Charlamagne Tha God
Today, something different. But I'm not even gonna lie, man. Like I said, the UN's in town, and that's when all the. The national leaders come to New York City and they have these huge conferences. And when I say I've never seen anything like this, I mean, there must have been at least 100 cops outside. And they're pulling vehicles over that have to come on the block and come to our parking lots. And they're. They asked me to step out the car. They searched the car, made me open up the front to open up the back. Every door Open. The dog was sniffing like, they are really into the cause. And there was no notice, so it's not like they could say, okay, well, tomorrow. This is what's happening now. So, you know, if you're heading your usual scheduled time, they pull you out your car, there's no way you could make it on time. And it just so happened. I. I just, you know, I'm always just trying to get here a little early anyway, you know?
DJ Envy
Well, DJ envy, I gotta tell you, man, I'm smiling ear to ear. I've been listening to the Breakfast club for over 10 years. I actually got shot in the head when I was a senior in high school. And what helped me make it through is listening to Donkey Today every single day on YouTube. And to this day, I still listen every day as a part of my morning schedule, but I gotta stick it off my chest. Jess Aelius came to Detroit in 2021, pulled up to Enterprise. I gave her a free upgrade, took a picture with her. She was supposed to follow me on Instagram, never follow me back. And so I just feel like that's fake news right there. That's so fake. Detroit State showing love to Jess and my feelings on my head. I gotta get that off the chest.
Charlamagne Tha God
Well, thank you for upgrading her, but, you know, just don't be fine. I don't even think just follows me, so. She can't follow you without following me. She'll follow nobody.
DJ Envy
And I gotta get off my chest to all the people who. Who talk about Charlemagne. The guy, like, it's just funny because he literally does not care. He'd be laughing. That's.
Charlamagne Tha God
That's the way this is funny.
DJ Envy
But, hey, man, keep doing what you're doing. I want it to you to talk to you, so I'm lit. And have a good day, brother.
Charlamagne Tha God
Have a good one, brother. Hello? Who's this?
DJ Envy
Yo, this is Sonny. What's going on, Envy?
Charlamagne Tha God
Sonny. What's up, man? Get it off your chest.
DJ Envy
Oh, man. Anyway, I want to congratulate you on, you know, your daughter's engagement and everything. I was trying to get a hold of y' all the other day, but Dame was wilding out. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But what. What's going on with the. What's up with the orange dude, bro? This is crazy. I. I don't know why this dude be talking for, like, two hours and going in circles, man.
Charlamagne Tha God
I mean, he's been doing that for the last eight years. There's nothing different.
DJ Envy
Yeah, yeah, it's wild, man. I don't Know why nobody don't. You know, nobody don't put a stop to none of this, man. I guess it's okay for everybody to do that, huh?
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, you know, I really don't know.
DJ Envy
I don't know, man. I don't know where everybody's going with this, honestly. And you know what? I'm praying for everybody, man. I really am. I'm praying for you, praying for Sharla. I'm praying for everybody, bro.

Charlamagne Tha God
That's what everybody said.
DJ Envy
Like it's like y' all was gremlins and got wet. And he popped off.
Charlamagne Tha God
When he popped off. The dope thing about it is he came up to me and my wife a couple of months ago and said he wanted to pop the question. Yeah, he said he wanted to do it as a surprise. He said Madison loves family, Madison loves traveling. So he wanted to do it in a place that Madison has never been and he wanted to surprise her. So he picked Mykonos. But part of it was surprising her on the trip. So him and my wife packed Madison's full luggage. Surprise. All new outfits, clothes, what she would wear, underwear, you name it. Packed it. Packed.
DJ Envy
You let him pack your daughter's underwear?
Charlamagne Tha God
My wife. I said my wife.
DJ Envy
I was making sure you said both of them.
Charlamagne Tha God
I said, my wife, I don't give a damn. So he packed up everything. Makeup, body wash, you name it, Put it all in the luggage and picked her up from work and said that they were going on a date. In the back of the car was the luggage. They went right to the airport, and they flew to Mykonos. We were there a day before them, so we surprised them. So we stayed in our room, and they were having breakfast on the water. It was beautiful. It was nice. It was very dope. And we started walking down the stairs. We walked down the stairs. She looked up like, what the hell are y' all doing here? Yeah. So when she looked up at us, he got on his knee. My wife said, turn around. Let me see this outfit that you're wearing. Cause, you know, he told her that there was a photo shoot, and when she turned around, he was on a knee, and he was, you know, madison, you are the most beautiful thing and most smart. And it was. I started to cry. I was trying to hold her tears in. And then he said, will you marry me? And she said, yes. And then we.

Keisha Lance Bottoms

I get to see them when they don't agree on something. I get to see how he takes care of her siblings. I get to see how he goes out on date night. We double date. You guys have met him, so it's just like, I got to see him. So it's like, you know, when you look as a father and you have daughters, you want Your daughter to have that person that's. You don't want to say perfect, but nobody's perfect. But it's a good human being that will love her regardless, that doesn't care about nothing but love. And he is that.

Charlamagne Tha God
While they would propose. While he was proposing. I FaceTime mom Duke, so Mom Dukes could actually see it as well. So I can only hear her. It was pretty dope.
Lauren LaRosa
Oh, my God.
Charlamagne Tha God
I love the little boy. The young man. So it's good. I love the young man.
DJ Envy
Going on.
Charlamagne Tha God
I was going say young boy, but he's not a young boy. Young man. I love the young man. He's a perfect part of our family.
Lauren LaRosa
I'm so happy.
DJ Envy
You get jealous.
Charlamagne Tha God
Are you jealous?
DJ Envy
Something else going on here, y'.
Lauren LaRosa
All.
DJ Envy
I'm just saying, this man, okay, we don't know this man's background. We don't know his family. He look exactly like he part of the Casey Crow. He looked like a clone. Now he's thinking like his little butt. And he said he asked him at the dinner. It's a lot of little flips going.
Lauren LaRosa
On in this conversation, even though you know him already. When y' all did sit down and have that conversation, was there like. Like, what's the. Like, I don't know if you want to get it, so. But the man, the man, like, how does. What do you tell him walking into this part of the marriage, like. Like, what is your advice? Because now the conversation, I listen to.
Charlamagne Tha God
Him and what he thought. What he thought about my daughter and what he thought about our family. The main thing for him, I just told him everything is. And this. It sounds so cliche, but Charlemagne to say just to say anybody that's married, it's communication, right? It's. Everything is communication. It's how you handle the disagreements, how you handle everything. That doesn't go right. Because, you know, in a marriage, it takes effort. So, you know, I mean, when things going right, it's all good. But when. When you have that first disagreement or there's an argument or it's that low time, as long as that communication is. Is. Is the key, then you. Everything else will find its way through.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah, well, congratulations. And Andrew. And they said you're gonna drop about a 21 to 2 million on the wedding. That's what the people were saying in the comments.
DJ Envy
Look, I thought the groom. The groom's dad is supposed to pay for it, right? Am I tripping?
Charlamagne Tha God
Yes.
DJ Envy
He got four girls.
Lauren LaRosa
I can't do that.
Charlamagne Tha God

DJ Envy

DJ Envy
Money?
Lauren LaRosa
No, to do stuff like sing everybody.
Charlamagne Tha God
Pitching and stuff like that. But, you know, the crazy thing is who I got to reach out to is they actually met at a Baby. Baby Keem concert. So they both went to nyu and baby Keem was performing at nyu and they both went to the show and that's how they actually met.
DJ Envy
All that screaming.
Lauren LaRosa
I'm gonna say what he gonna do? Reception.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yes, reception. And you know Keem is. Kendrick's. Related to Kendrick.
DJ Envy
You want Keem to do ad libs at the wedding, at the reception, just.
Charlamagne Tha God
Do one song because that means a lot. That's where they met each other. Yes, exactly.
DJ Envy

Everything was cool. All right. All right. Yeah. All right. When we come back, we got 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
Let's get back in some front page news. Start off with some quick sports. Now, WNBA playoffs. The Mercury beat the links 89, 83, and the Aces beat the Fever, 9068.
DJ Envy
Let's go, Aces. Come on, Asia need the Aces to win that series. You know what I'm saying? I need Asia Wilson and the Aces to advance now.
Charlamagne Tha God
Also, the Giants rookie Jackson Dart is going to start over Russell Wilson in week four. It seems like everybody who leaves Giants really do well. Saquon Barkley, of course, Daniel Jones is busting ass for the coast. They're three zero Sierra.
DJ Envy
I tried to tell you when you was up here, okay. I tried to tell you when you was up here. The Giants are going to Giant, okay? And Russell Wilson deserves better. Like, you know, Russell Wilson has actually played pretty, pretty good. You know.
Charlamagne Tha God
You know, we don't look too good, but. What's up, Mimi?
Keisha Lance Bottoms
Good morning. How are you doing?
Lauren LaRosa
Charlemagne Envy.
Charlamagne Tha God
Good, good.
Lauren LaRosa
Good morning.
Keisha Lance Bottoms
Good morning. Okay, so now to the story that.
Lauren LaRosa
Everybody is talking about. Right? So there were so many big moments from Jimmy Kimmel's monologue left last night.
Keisha Lance Bottoms
So we're gonna just jump right in. After nearly a week of being off.
Lauren LaRosa
Air, Jimmy Kimmel returned to a standing ovation, and he used the moment to take a second stand for free speech.
Keisha Lance Bottoms
Fighting back tears, though, he addressed the controversy that got his show suspended. Let's listen to that.
DJ Envy
But I do want to make something clear because it's important to me as a human, and that is, you understand that it was never my intention to make light of the murder of a young man. I don't think there's anything funny about it. I posted a message on Instagram of the day he was killed sending love to his family and asking for compassion. And I meant it, and I still do. Nor was it my intention to blame any specific group for the actions of what it was obviously a deeply disturbed individual. That was really the opposite of the point I was trying to make. But I understand that to some that felt either ill timed or unclear or maybe both, yeah, I watched the whole thing. It was cool. You know what I'm saying? I didn't like the tears. Okay. I'll be honest with you. The tears seemed a little false.
Charlamagne Tha God
That's fake, teams.
DJ Envy
The tears did seem a little forced, you know what I'm saying? And it was kind of an apology, but not an apology. Sort of. Kind of like he was tiptoeing around saying, you question. Sorry. Like.
Charlamagne Tha God
But let me ask you a question. Like I said, I. I was totally off the grid. Did he say something that was very foul and disrespectful that required the tears and apology?
DJ Envy
No. And. And here's the thing. Here's the thing with the Kimmel. The Kimmel monologue from last night. I agree with everything he said about free speech, but people have to acknowledge Donald Trump has a hit list. Like, I don't know why these people are acting like, you know, like, like they actually said something, you know, super offensive. And so, you know, people were mad about that. No, Donald Trump has a hit list, and Jimmy Kimmel is on that list. So any little thing Jimmy Kimmel does, Donald Trump is going to have the FCC on his ass.
Charlamagne Tha God
And I think he said something to the fact that, you know, 100 people would have lost their job for a little joke. And did he say that something? Because I seen. I heard parts of it on my way in this morning as well.
Keisha Lance Bottoms
So we're going to get into that right now.
Lauren LaRosa
And I knew you were going to say that about the tears, Charlamagne, just based on what we talked about yesterday. But he also got a chance to.
Keisha Lance Bottoms
Turn his attention to President Trump. And this is kind of what you're referring to.
Lauren LaRosa
Envy.
Keisha Lance Bottoms
Let's listen to what he had to say.
DJ Envy
The President of the United States made it very clear he wants to see me and the hundreds of people who work here fired from our jobs. Our leader celebrates Americans losing their livelihoods because he can't take a joke. He tried, did his best to cancel me. Instead, he forced millions of people to watch the show that backfired bigly. He might have to release the Epstein files to distract us from this. Now, that was good. I like that one. That was really good. You have to release the Epstein files to distract us from this.
Lauren LaRosa
And, you know, he also took a.
Keisha Lance Bottoms
Moment to thank people who don't agree with him politically, but still defended his.
Lauren LaRosa
Right to be heard.
Keisha Lance Bottoms
And let's listen to what he had to say about that.
DJ Envy
I want to thank the people who don't support my show and what I believe, but support my right to share those beliefs anyway. Who I never would have imagined, like Ben Shapiro, Clay Travis, Candace Owens, Mitch McConnell, Rand Paul, even my old pal Ted Cruz, who, believe it or not, said something very beautiful on my behalf. I hate what Jimmy Kimmel said. I am thrilled that he was fired. Oh, wait, no, not that. The other part. But let me tell you, if the government gets in the business of saying, we don't say what you, the media have said, we're going to ban you from the airwaves. If you don't say what we like, that will end up bad for conservatives. I don't think I've ever said this before, but Ted Cruz is right. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, go ahead.
Charlamagne Tha God
No, go ahead.
Keisha Lance Bottoms
What are we going to say?
DJ Envy
No, I. I was just going to say, you know, Trump, just, just, please. Trump had the hit list, man, and Jimmy Kimmel is on it. And Sinclair didn't air him in a bunch of markets.
Charlamagne Tha God
I was going to ask you. Yeah, he wasn't aired in every market.
DJ Envy
Yeah, he was. They didn't air him in a bunch of markets because they're still at the mercy of Trump and the FCC because they have to get this merger with techno approved.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah.
Keisha Lance Bottoms
And not only did they not. Did Sinclair not air him in every market, nexstar also joined in and they did not air him in their markets as well.
Lauren LaRosa
And so Jimmy Kimmel, he also went after the FCC chair, Brendan Carr, directly, calling him unintelligent. And yesterday, like I just said, we.
Keisha Lance Bottoms
Told you about Sinclair Broadcasting and now nexstar, who also owns ABC stations, they said they're following suit and they're going.
Lauren LaRosa
To monitor the situation. But the political fight is still far from over because Trump is blasting Kimball's return on True Social.
Keisha Lance Bottoms
He wrote ABC gave Jimmel his job back despite bad ratings and accused the show of airing 99% Democrat garbage.
Lauren LaRosa
He also suggested the decision could amount to an illegal campaign contribution and even.
Keisha Lance Bottoms
Hinted at suing again, bragging that he.
Lauren LaRosa
Once got $16 million from ABC and.
Keisha Lance Bottoms
And claiming that this case could be even more lucrative.
DJ Envy
Yeah, I did love when Jimmy Kimmel said what Trump and the FCC are doing to him is unamerican. Because it is. And it's a direct attack on his First Amendment rights. And I know people say you have freedom of speech, but when you work for a company, you can't say anything if it's not in line with what that company is doing. But what about when that company is getting pressure from the government? You know what I mean? To not have you on just because the President has you on a Hit list and doesn't like what you're saying about him. That's a whole different. Whole different ball game.
Keisha Lance Bottoms
Yeah, for sure. All right, so that's your front page news. I'm Mimi Brown.

All right, now, when we come back, we have former mayor of Atlanta, Keisha Lance Bottoms joining us. She's currently running for governor of Georgia. And we'll talk to her next. So don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's EJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlamagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Teslin, figaro. And Lauren LaRosa is here as well. We got a special guest in the building, former mayor of Atlanta, Keisha Lance Bottoms.
Lauren LaRosa
Good morning.
Keisha Lance Bottoms
Thank you for having me.
DJ Envy
Thank you for coming. How do you feel?
Keisha Lance Bottoms
I feel great. It's great to be here. I had a fundraiser in New York and great to see you in person.
DJ Envy
Absolutely. What made you want to run for governor of Georgia in these crazy times?
Keisha Lance Bottoms
Yeah, we are living. It's like in the twilight zone right now. So I woke up the day after the election in November, like so many people wondering what it meant for me personally and just for us as a nation, for Georgia, as a state. And I did a lot of praying, a lot of talking, and then some more praying. And I decided in this season to get back in the ring, we need strong leadership. And people are looking to states and to local governments to stand in the gap because we've got so much craziness and chaos coming out of D.C. right now.
DJ Envy
You know, Stacey Abrams ran for governor twice and she fell short, even with massive national attention. What would you do differently? So Georgia, you know, it doesn't be like, oh, another almost.
Keisha Lance Bottoms
Yeah, well, you know, Charlamagne, one of the first national interviews I did was when I was a candidate for mayor and you had me on. And we did it the old fashioned way. You go knock on doors, you call people. Now we've got TikTok and all these other ways that you have to communicate with people sitting here. I mean, your audience is massive. We have to cover it all. And what you do, you look at every election from Stacy's election to the VP being on the ballot in November, you take what worked, you keep it. And then what didn't work as well, then you fix it. And the reality is this you know, there is a reason that Georgia went blue in 1920. We've got two state senators who are two senators from Georgia who are Democrats. So it's possible. It just hadn't happened yet, but it's certainly possible.
DJ Envy
You know, a lot of critics say Democrats in Georgia can't win statewide unless they run more moderate. Like, would you play to the center or lean fully into, like, progressive?
Keisha Lance Bottoms
Well, you know, my mom always says you only have to tell the truth once. And the truth. The truth is, I mean, I. I am a moderate there. You know, you just stand in your truth and what you believe in. And I believe that there are some policies that work from the left. There are some policies that may be more conservative, but at the end of the day, it's about getting things done. And when I served as mayor, we got a lot of things done, from adding and preserving 7,000 units of affordable housing to getting our city workers up to a minimum wage of $15 an hour, because in Georgia, it's just over $5 an hour to. I mean, I can give an entire list of things that we were able to accomplish, but it was standing in our truth and what our values were.
Lauren LaRosa
I want to ask you, 49 women have been elected as governor, and not one has been a black woman. When you talk about what hasn't worked and what didn't work, what are some of the challenges that you see that although successful in Atlanta, which is the black mecca, how will you, I guess, galvanize when you look at Georgia as a state which is very different than Atlanta being, I would say, its own, you know, own state by itself? How are you going to, you know, reach out to those communities and that are not interested, you know, in electing and not just a woman of color, but specifically a black woman. How do you. How do you plan on dealing with those challenges?
Keisha Lance Bottoms
Well, the reality is, is we've never had a woman elected governor in Georgia either. And it is about meeting people where they are. So we've been traveling around the state. Atlanta is a great place, but I can't rely just on Atlanta. If I did, if any candidate did, we wouldn't win. So we've been making. Warner Robbins Augusta. We'll be in Albany next week. We have been to Savannah, Chatham County. We're moving around the state, talking directly to people. So I've got this whole list of issues that I want to focus on. Eliminating income, state income taxes for our teachers. We got a teacher shortage, expanding Medicaid in our state. We've got nine rural Hospitals who have closed. We have half our counties who don't have OB GYNs, don't have pediatricians. More deaths than births in more than half our counties in the state. That's unacceptable. So we're moving around, talking to people. I've got my list of issues, but as I'm hearing from people, I'm adding to that list. And it's about reaching everybody. Black women, black men, brown people, white people. It's about listening and being willing to course correct when necessary.
DJ Envy
You know, Republicans in Georgia don't play fair. You got voter suppression, gerrymandering, culture wars. Like, do you think you can really out strategize that, or you feel like you, like, kind of walking into a trap?
Keisha Lance Bottoms
No, we've done it before. I mean, and I know you all are paying attention to what's happening in Georgia. 500,000 people have been removed from our voter rolls.
DJ Envy
That's crazy.
Keisha Lance Bottoms
There are hearings happening right now in the state where they're trying to reduce early voting and remove absentee voting. This whole list. And when you look at a place like Georgia, where the margins are so thin, it matters. So you mentioned Stacey, Stacey's first race. 55,000 votes. She lost five. The vice president, 100,000 votes. That's not a lot when you have millions of people showing up to vote. So again, what we got to do is keep talking to people, get them energized. Listen, listen, listen. I've got four children. Three are teenagers. One is 23. I gotta stop clutching my pearls when they say things I don't agree with, because it's their reality. And as candidates, you know, it's great that we go up on television and do all these fancy things. We gotta go into the barbershops, the beauty shops. We gotta listen to people and then act accordingly.
Lauren LaRosa
In the beginning of the interview, Charlamagne asked you, like, why now? In these crazy times that I'm hearing you talk about, like, going out and doing things. And the first thing I thought of, especially with you being the first if elected, was Kamala Harris's book. And she talked about, you know, just a lot of the struggles she went through because as a black woman, they weren't. They didn't know. Not only did they not know what to do, it wasn't built for her, but they didn't support. And she dealt with a lot behind the scenes. I know you. You worked with the Biden campaign. What did you experience then? If. If at all, anything that is preparing you for what you're potentially about to Walk into as first woman, black woman governor.
Keisha Lance Bottoms
Yeah. I worked in White House, and you can't work in the White House and sit in that senior meeting every morning, just a few steps from the Oval Office, and not be a better leader. You see how things get done. And it is challenging anytime that you are the first in the room. But it's also this opportunity. I would always chuckle to myself when the president would say, keisha, what do you think? And I would think, I bet nobody's ever been asked that in the Oval Office. Keisha, Keisha, what do you think? So, yeah, you know, there are challenges, but there are also a lot of opportunities there. And a lot of times when we are the first, it's hardest for us in those spaces. But you're opening doors so that hopefully you won't be the last, and it won't be as difficult as people coming behind you.
DJ Envy
How do you navigate supporting a president like Biden while still being honest about what he could have done better, and he could have done better for black communities? Because I'm on record as saying the now of the Democratic Party and the future of the Democratic Party, you gotta throw that old regime under the bus. And the VP does a great job of doing that in her new book. I don't know if you read it yet, but. Yes.
Keisha Lance Bottoms
No, I haven't read it yet. But there were a lot of great things that happened from the Biden Harris administration that delivered for our communities. And I think, unfortunately, right now, just a couple of days ago, I was speaking with someone about black farmers on all the strides that had been made in our rural communities, specifically to. To support black farmers. Trump administration's already clawed it back. So there were a lot of things that were done well, and I'm very proud of that. Hindsight is always 2020. You think about things that perhaps could have been done differently. But at the end of the day, that administration delivered a lot of wins for our communities. And now we got to look forward and figure out, how do we keep going, how do we keep building, how do we keep moving? Even when I talked to you when I was running for mayor several years ago, Instagram was this new thing, this new communications tool that we were using. We're light years away from that, and if we are stagnant, then we're not going to progress as a party. But what I know is this. This democracy that we live in. For now, it's a work in progress, and we've got to be nimble. The Republican Party, you know, I compare these maga Republicans, a broken clock is right twice a day. They've hit it on messaging and they've hit it on the long game. And I think we can learn some lessons in that.
DJ Envy
I guess that's it for me. Right. Like Democrats, you know, Democrats couldn't message when they were winning. Winning, right. At least on a federal level. So now that they're losing, what can the party message the people? And I know, I know it's just a state race, but you're still representing the Democratic Party. So what is the message now?
Keisha Lance Bottoms
Well, I think Charlemagne, we'll be looking to you all to help us with that too. Like, how do people get their messaging? How do we communicate with people? We perfected political messaging and ads and all these things that we've done for decades on end. What we've not perfected is, and I'll just go back to this example. I remember my now 15 year old son was like looking at some NBA something or another on television and I heard Trump's voice coming through. I'm like, what is Donald Trump? Like, what are you watching?
Lauren LaRosa
He's like, oh yeah, he's on here.
Keisha Lance Bottoms
All the time because he was talking to our kids when we were still on cable tv.
DJ Envy
Right.
Keisha Lance Bottoms
So I think it's going to take, take all of us, it's going to take us thinking differently. You know, the, the way that we've traditionally done politics clearly doesn't always work. It's not always effective. You can still be principled, but you can still be willing to, to learn something new. And that's a challenge. And for me, again, I'm, I'm listening when I go into barbershop with my kids, I'm listening when my son tells me, you know, which he did two, three years before the election, that we had a problem with young black men. If I'm like, no, you know our polling saying xyz, he's like, no, y' all got a problem. So I'm learning, I'm learning to listen.
Lauren LaRosa
I want to ask your thoughts on, because I'll be honest with you, I'm an independent, I used to be a Democrat. And I'm gonna be honest. The messaging on, well, at least we have a chance. That don't really land with me. Like, I want the straight, you know, we going in, we are taking whatever we can get, which I get, you know, and I understand your point, but I'm loving the energy that Governor Newsom is, is on right now and he's been inspiring to a lot of you may not Agree with his politics. I think everybody has a role to play in politics. Your personality is your personality, his is his. Do you see him being helpful overall? Because I know you're running for governor, but the Democrat party as a whole bringing the smoke. What have been your thoughts on him being able to play that offense, defense, you know, to kind of say things that maybe other politicians cannot or to kind of run that play? How have, have you been. Have you been receiving, have you been clutching your pearls or have you been loving some of the.
Keisha Lance Bottoms
Paul. I love it. I mean, and that's his personality. So I love it. I think. And people are looking for people who are authentic and genuine in their leadership. That's his style. And I mean, I'm here for it. And what I would say, you know, even with you identifying as an independent, the respect that I have for that is that we can't take anybody for granted. And what I'm seeing in this season, people are so much more informed. And I'm a Delta. I did something with a group of Deltas and when I tell you, they asked me the hardest questions of any group that I've been around, you know, and I was like, oh, wow, okay.
Lauren LaRosa
I'm like.
Keisha Lance Bottoms
And they were there in support of me.
DJ Envy
But you wanted this.
Lauren LaRosa
But they wanted like, like that's right. And that makes a difference.
Keisha Lance Bottoms
Like so, you know, I'm not taking anybody for granted. We shouldn't take anybody for granted. I think at the end of the day, you know, a lot of people are, are more, not Democrat, not Republican and more in the middle than even we self identify as. But going back to Gavin Newsom, I love what he's doing. I love that he's owning it. I think that he is brilliant. I love that it is authentic to him and I love that he is meeting the moment. I think the biggest danger for any of us would be to engage in ways that's not authentic to us because people see it and people have a high BS radar. And if it's not real, people are going to pick on, pick up on that too. It's real for him.
Lauren LaRosa
What have your thoughts been around your safety going back into office? Like, I know you had like you got, your security was extended for some time because the death threats you're receiving and yeah, Trump's in office and you guys had your back and forth with the whole resignation thing where you're thought it's just a crazy time. What are your thoughts around that?
Keisha Lance Bottoms
Yeah, I mean, as a person of faith, I plead the blood of Jesus over me and my family, because it's real. When I was mayor, I had a lot of credible threats, including a credible kidnapping threat. I remember going for a walk one day and a man pulling up on me saying, oh, I didn't think it was gonna be this easy to find you. Thankfully, he didn't mean me harm, but he did find me out walking by myself. So I'm constantly though.
DJ Envy
I mean, I understand you, you know, enjoy your freedom. You got faith in God, but why would you be walking by yourself like you still got to protect yourself.
Keisha Lance Bottoms
Probably not. Not the smartest thing to do, but, you know, I left out my door and I went for a walk, and I didn't think, you know, this man was going to drive over from DeKalb county and look for me that day. Now it. Was it smart? No, but I mean, that was. I wanted to walk by myself that day. And, and so back in this season, I am mindful of it. I'm cognizant of it. Anytime I'm speaking before a group, I find I like, I'm looking around, paying attention to who's moving, who's, you know, where is the exit, you know, layering on security. I mean, it's just. It's the nature of the times that we're living in, and it's. It is unsettling, but it. It's our reality.
DJ Envy
Do you think that there's a. An attack on. On black mayors?
Keisha Lance Bottoms
I think there's an attack on black leadership across the board. I think the attack on black mayors is like, that's generational. You know, even Ambassador Young was called before a grand jury. You know, so it's. Yeah, I mean, I think that's real.
DJ Envy
Why, though? Like, why is it. Why black. Why does black mayor leadership get targeted in that. In that way?
Keisha Lance Bottoms
Well, I mean, so I'll give Atlanta as an example. The mayor of Atlanta is the CEO of the city. It's a strong mayor form of government with over a billion dollars budget between the airport, the water department and the city's general fund budget, actually probably closer to $2 billion. That's a lot of money and a lot of contracts that you're signing. So even in Georgia and in Atlanta, the guy who's the front runner on the Republican side for governor put forth legislation to take the airport from the city of Atlanta, to take it. To take it over. Because the city runs the airport, because there are contracts there. Some would say it had a large part to do with. In helping to build a black middle class in Atlanta. So anytime you have money involved and you have a singular black leader who can sign those contracts, who cannot sign those contracts, facts, it's going to get attention, it's going to get scrutiny and it's going to make you susceptible to investigations. It's not fair. But that's what that was happening when Maynard Jackson was the mayor of Atlanta. It happened to Ambassador Young, I mean, happened.
Lauren LaRosa
Basically saying that's where the powers, I'm always talking about local and state, local and state.
Keisha Lance Bottoms
That's where the power is.
Lauren LaRosa
That's where things get done the most, most, the quickest, the fastest. And you're saying that the local level, the mayors is targeted because of the power that they have. Talk about a little bit about the governor because we love the sex appeal, you know, how sexy it is. Talk about Congress and president, all that. But talk about the power that a governor has that can literally change somebody's life overnight, opposed to being in Congress where you have to argue with hundreds of people.
Keisha Lance Bottoms
So when, when federal money, for example, comes into a state, it often flows right through the state government, through the governor's office. Governor can determine budgets. The governor can determine how much we're allocating toward this community as opposed to that community. The governor of Georgia is one of the most powerful governors in the nation because they have the power of a line item veto. So when legislation comes to the governor, he could scratch out a line and change it just with the or or she will be able to change it just with the stroke of a pen. So it, it matters. You are allocating budgets, you are setting priorities. You are appointing people to boards, whether it's the board of regents which oversees higher education than the state to the, the port of Savannah that deals with export and import that's coming in and out of the state to infra projects to public safety. All of that flows from the governor's office.
Lauren LaRosa
One of the things I give you credit on, I still like to call you Mayor Lance. Well, I don't see your mind. You're still your title. You building in non traditional, non traditional coalitions. A lot of times people just tap into hip hop and tap in who they think is cool for the moment. You've done an excellent job of building relationships, you know, with Tip and killer Mike and really understanding how entertainment and hip hop is a part of Atlanta culture. How do you plan on still, you know, building those non traditional coalitions and how they can benefit you through the state of Georgia? Because a lot of times, like you said, people just do the hot sauce in my bag, you know, to say, you know, I'm. I'm cool for the moment. You've really built some authentic relationships. How were you able to do that? And how do you see that benefiting you in your race?
Keisha Lance Bottoms
Because you got to hear from everybody. And I love Tip. I love Carolyn Mike. Those are my brothers, genuinely. And I know they bring a voice and a perspective that I'm not going to always hear in a boardroom. But by the same token, I have to build relationships or have had to build relationships with CEOs, whether it's the CEO of Delta Airlines, UPS or Home Depot. You have to build those relationships, too. And. And Ambassador Young used to call it the Atlanta way. This where government, philanthropic groups, civic community come together, business community, to be able to get things done. And we've been the beneficiaries of that. So when Killer Mike and Tip served on my transition committee, I'll never forget, we were sitting in the Metro Chamber of Commerce, and you got all these Fortune 500 CEOs, and Tip and Killer Mike, like, watching these CEOs smitten, that they were in the room like it was priceless. And in that room, Chip and Killer Mike met a man named Noel Khalil, who was also on the transition committee. He's since passed. He was a wonderful man. Affordable housing builder, Columbia Residential. From that transition committee, they built a partnership that's now allowed them to put affordable housing on the west side of Atlanta. It came out of that room. So that's a responsibility that I felt I had as a mayor, not just to hear from them, but also to make sure they were present in rooms.
Lauren LaRosa
Put them in position, not just entertaining.
Keisha Lance Bottoms
That's it. That's it. I mean, and it's. Their influence is huge. But again, also, they're bringing up perspective. You know, Killer Mike very proudly said, like, he's an independent.
DJ Envy
He.
Lauren LaRosa
He.
Keisha Lance Bottoms
He likes Brian Kent. There are things that Killer Mike believes in that some people may see as. As extreme right wing. You know, I see it just as him being an independent black man making decisions based on what his value set.
DJ Envy
Is and who loves Atlanta and who loves Georgia and who is going to talk to whoever's in office and build whoever's in office to do what's best for that state in that city. If you became governor, what's the one change you'd want people to remember, not just in Georgia, but nationwide?
Keisha Lance Bottoms
The biggest thing right now, the affordability piece, is huge. That's an overarching theme. But Medicaid expansion is huge. In our state, we got people dying because they can't get to a hospital. And I think if we can expand Medicaid immediately, it will change the trajectory of a lot of communities in our state. And at the end of the day, I want people to know that I was there, that their lives were better, their communities were better, because I was there to serve.
DJ Envy

Charlemagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to the latest with Lauren. 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 be having the latest on the Latest with Lauren LaRosa. Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details, sometimes you have a little bit everything. What was the latest on the Breakfast Club?
Lauren LaRosa
Well, guys, am I. The drama is unfolding again in real life. Cardi B&JT, formerly of the City City Girls, got into it yesterday online. So Cardi B, uh, dropped in my the drama. She has a song on the project, uh, called Magnet. Uh, Magnet. In the song she does take a shot at JT and at Uzi. Let's take a listen to the verse on Magnet. So for instance, at the end she's talking about Uzi. She's talking about. She's saying she's a legend, that JT and Uzi share bags. So you know, people get on Uzi because of the way he dresses and they call it flamboyant and the bags and all the things.
Charlamagne Tha God
She sounds way better Dirty version.
Lauren LaRosa
She talks about Rick Owens and you know people. JT is in J. Rick, Rick Owens a lot. People have been on JT for a minute about, you know, her choosing to get into like the whole Rick Owens vibe and all the things. And then she's talking about switching up on your friend when she's going through it. So you know, JT and Young Miami notably got into it very. It was a very big thing online when they got into it. And Young Miami tweeted throughout of that that she doesn't respect people who come for her when she's down. And then last thing, last shot that was thrown when she's talking about your loyalty depends on who you're around. She. Cardi mentioned that here and I didn't catch it until after. But people are pointing to the fact that that's probably about Nicki Minaj because JT and Cardi have been going back and forth, forth since some time. So back in 2018, Cardi did their song twerk the City Girls. Things were cool, everything was good. JT came out and congratulated Glorilla on Tomorrow too, and the success of it. She didn't mention Cardi B. People called that out. It caused some like back and forth with them online. They've been going in and out of it. But Cardi has mentioned prior to that she's felt like. And fans have pointed out too, they felt like when JT started being working with Nicki Minaj and you know, doing some shows with her, her. Her energy and her vibe and just the relationship with Cardi tanked again. So yesterday on X, they started throwing things back and forth. So JT got on X and she tagged the Patriots, cnn, Cardi, Donald Trump, Atlantic Records, Trump Payola, and a couple other accounts into an interview that a guy named Chris Blake Griffith did. We talked about Chris Blake Griffith here because there was some DMS with Drake, remember? And then they came out to be not real DMS or whatever they were alleging not to be real DMs.
Charlamagne Tha God
But.
Lauren LaRosa
But this is a stylist who has alleged several times that Stefan Diggs sexually assaulted him. And that was a whole big story some time ago. But this is coming back up again because he recently, like 12 days ago, sat down for this interview. So JT posts a clip from the interview. She tags Cardi and all these people. She then is talking about, you know, she wants justice for Chris. It's unfair that, you know, men who are alleging sexual assault get swept under the rug. Like that whole thing.
Charlamagne Tha God
Hey, yo.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah, she doing. Yo.
Charlamagne Tha God
Nikki did this before. He did this before.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah, she's going in. She's saying the whole Megan thing.
Charlamagne Tha God
This is crazy.
Lauren LaRosa
JT says gay men should be protected. I feel like this isn't being taken seriously enough. This is nuts, and it's sad. Cardi's. Cardi B's baby father is a gay man. Not because of how he dresses or expresses himself, but because then she talks about the allegations that Chris is saying these things out of his mouth. Justice for Chris, all the things. So, you know, at that point now they be wanting justice when they beefing.
Charlamagne Tha God
They be wanting justice for other people when they beefing with a person.
Lauren LaRosa
Oh, yeah. Because it didn't stop there. I'm just saying it was out there. I mean, that's just what it is.
Charlamagne Tha God
It's definitely.
Lauren LaRosa
It corresponds. Yes. They always want justice for somebody.
Charlamagne Tha God
That's what's up.
Lauren LaRosa
So Cardi B hopped online. Mind you, Cardi B is in the midst of, you know, still rolling out her album. So she's meeting with fans. She's at a Walmart, and there's thousands of fans there, but she's on X. And then she also posts a video. So she hops on X and she's like, that's not true. I have receipts up it. And then she throws back some allegations as well. She says that she alleges that Uzi forced JT to get abortions. She also talks about having some, like, ashy nudes of JT as well. She talks about some things that she's, you know, I guess she's saying she has Receipts that he said about Roc Nation. And then she post this video while at a listening event. Let's take a listen.
Keisha Lance Bottoms
I apologize for being late, but I'm gonna make sure I take a picture with everybody.
DJ Envy
Three bodies that purchase and a cd.
Keisha Lance Bottoms
Real purchase, no box. Real purchase, real people. And I got receipts for days. Nasty ones. I even got ashy nudes. I got you ashy ass nudes, too. Thought I was finished last year.
Charlamagne Tha God
That's what it is.
DJ Envy
I will say, though, I was disappointed in JT for that because JT can rap. And as long as we've known jt, she's always been about the music. Cardi gave you bars. Like, I want to hear you rap, jt. I don't want to see tweets and Instagram rats. Would Gina Fuse say rap? Get in the booth. Okay, all that social media chatting. Now let me get some music. And what's crazy? People always want to say Cardi's not an artist. Well, she took it to the booth. She had an issue with jt.
Charlamagne Tha God
She held all this.
DJ Envy
Jt, jt, you took it to the Internet where the music cat and I. I don't want to hear these rants and these. I want to see the bars. What? The bars at jt?
Lauren LaRosa
Well, yesterday, JT was in the studio. She was on Snapchat, and she addressed the situation that she didn't drop bars yet, but she was in the studio. Let's take a listen to what JT had to say. This rat ass, right? This supposed to be a mother rim. And she threatening to snitch on some body because she don't have anything to say about it.
Keisha Lance Bottoms
That a loser.
Lauren LaRosa
So then she said, I'm gonna tell a little white nation what you said. What he said over there? No, not just that. The trying to spread fake tea about abortions. When she stood her illiterate ass in front of millions of people and said she stand for pro choice drops bomb. I. I can't take the dumb. Serious. I can't take the show. Me. Me typing all this messages, or I'm calling the police on your ass for defamation of character, because I'm sick of it. And I will be back that you're.
DJ Envy
Not a podcaster, jt. You're not a radio personality. You're not a screamer rat. Get in the booth. I want to hear this through music, okay? Because that's what Cardi gave you. Cardi gave you bars. Cardi gave you a record. I want to hear music, jt.
Lauren LaRosa
I'm careful person. She called Cardi A snitch, right?
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah.
Lauren LaRosa
She basically said, I'm gonna call the police. Well, Cardi B then tweeted, ladies and gentlemen, this is why the album is called Am I the Drama? Good night, everybody. But in the midst of all of all of this, Nicki Minaj gets online and she posts the date March 27, 2026, with an album emoji just in the midst of all this. So now we're like, wait, okay, she's starting promo early.
Charlamagne Tha God
That's March 27, 2026.
Lauren LaRosa
Okay. Yeah. So she just dropped this date with an hour. So we're assuming that Nicki Minaj music is coming, but, yes, that's where we left off. And I look, Cardi B was at Walmart. She still was able to finish her work day. Yeah. So we'll see what comes.
DJ Envy
What Gina View. Say rap. Get in the booth, jt. She was there.
Lauren LaRosa
She got no excuses. She was at the booth yesterday on Snapchat.
DJ Envy
That's what. That's what I want to hear. Cardi gave you a verse. I want to hear bars, jt.
Lauren LaRosa
That's gonna be natural.
DJ Envy
That's what I'm saying.
Lauren LaRosa
Listen, Amada drama is staring some stuff. It's the drama. It's what's up, though.
Charlamagne Tha God
Like, this is what it's supposed to. That's what we're supposed to do. Yeah, but you think about body, right? Body goes on live all day long. So she held this for months, probably years in some situations, just for the alb.
Lauren LaRosa
A hard time.
Charlamagne Tha God
Which is smart. Which is smart.
DJ Envy
That.
Charlamagne Tha God
That's. That's what we used to.
DJ Envy
Right.
Lauren LaRosa
When somebody had a problem, names. When she was here, you put it right in the.
Charlamagne Tha God
In the music.
Lauren LaRosa
Yes.
DJ Envy
And JT should be ready. JT should be like, oh, oh, you rapping. Okay. I want. I want to rap, too. I don't want to hear all the rants and the. The. The lives and the tweets. No, I want to hear JT rap. JT raps. I want to hear rap.
Lauren LaRosa
Well, when it happens, we'll be talking about it right here during the latest.
DJ Envy
So will it hit the same, though?
Lauren LaRosa
What?
DJ Envy
Yes. After you done did a rant like now.
Lauren LaRosa
What can you say?
DJ Envy
Absolutely.
Lauren LaRosa
No, no, no. It's still. They've been. They've on since 2018. It's a lot that have to do.
Charlamagne Tha God
A lot of calling.
Lauren LaRosa
I don't know. Yes, they better. But I'm assuming she gonna have some stuff she doesn't. Didn't say here.
DJ Envy
First of all, you say they've Been off and on since how long?
Lauren LaRosa
2018.
DJ Envy
I've never heard this much discussion about it until Cardi did a verse. Now don't get me wrong, Cardi and JT had a couple of good tweets back in the day because it was funny as hell. I can't remember what. What the jokes were. Oh, you call it prison pants. Somebody got called prison pants. I know that much. Somebody.
Lauren LaRosa
I got caught.
DJ Envy
Somebody called somebody prison pants.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, that's what you're right. Yeah. But it comes and goes.
DJ Envy
It hit. Hit with a verse.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah.
Charlamagne Tha God
Going at jt, her going at B, her going at all those individuals. JT was a verse? Yeah, absolutely. Jeez. All right, well, that is the latest with Lauren. Now, Charlamagne, who you giving that down?
DJ Envy
Speaking of prison pants, Marina Gonaga needs to come to the front of the congregation cuz she was in jail for something and we'll discuss.
Charlamagne Tha God
All right, we'll get to that next. So don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.
DJ Envy
Some donkey today just saw themselves. Haven't watched these. Charlie man was ready for you. I never heard a donkey the other day. What is it? Say it again. Charlemagne.
Charlamagne Tha God
I'm a donkey?
DJ Envy
Yes, you are a donkey.
Charlamagne Tha God
Everything that Charlemagne is saying is true.
DJ Envy
Yes. Donkey today for Wednesday, September 24th, goes to a 63 year old Florida woman named Marina Gonaga. Now, what does your uncle Charlotte always tell you about the great state of Florida? Say it with me. The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida and is no exception. Even though I'm not gonna lie. Okay. Marina did something that I always tell y' all to do. I always tell y' all to do your prison math. Okay? Do your jail math. Before you do something, before you jump out the window and commit a crime, always ask yourself, how much is this going to cost you? Okay? Everything from bond to lawyer, and especially the time if you're sentenced, can you afford to do what it is you're about to do? Now, some people just move off emotion and they just ask. Okay, they just go. But some people move off strategy. They ask questions, they plan things out. Those are the people that I respect. Those are the people that are truly dangerous. You know how in the comic book world we say Batman can beat anyone with prep time? That's how I feel about people who prep before they do a crime and calculate the prison math in their head. Okay, they calculate the jail math in their head. See, there is a part of me who respects what Marina does. Did Even though she's dead wrong. Okay, well, damn it, Uncle Charlotte, the suspense is killing me. Will you tell me what she did already? Well, according to an arrested affidavit obtained by Law and crime, an officer was dispatched to an undisclosed location to respond to an argument between two people regarding stolen property. Okay. When the cops got there, Marina told them she came to the location to retrieve stolen shoes from a 72 year old unidentified woman. And at some point during the encounter, Marina allegedly turned to her office officer and asked him in Spanish, how much would the bond be if I smacked her? See, this is Batman prepping. Once again, she turned to the officer and asked the officer, how much would the bond be if I smacked her? Now, it doesn't say what the officer responded, but Marina must have thought she could afford it because she walked up to the 73 year old and proceeded to smack him in the face. Okay, see, one thing about me, I respect everybody's choices. I may not agree with the choice you make, but I respect when someone makes a calculated choice. Because when you choose to do something, then to me, you have also chosen the consequences of what comes with that choice. Marina did her dirt in front of the police. She even asked the officer, how much would the bond be if I smacked her? And then she went and handled her business. So that means she gotta handle these consequences. Okay, the same way. Now, what I don't respect is that the person she smacked was 72. Now 72. Not the same 72 it used to be. A lot of these 72 year olds got that elder scrimp. They will put you on your ass, but that is still considered elderly. And Marina, you 63, okay, even though you can get, you know, discounted meals at ihop, there is absolutely no reason for you to be smacking a 72 year old person in the face over no damn stolen shoes. See, I respect you being cold and calculated and making a chicken choice, but over some damn shoes? I need to know what kind of shoes they were. Okay, the person was 72, so I know they ain't no no Heat, okay? If they weren't Michael Jordan's 1998 NBA Finals Air Jordan 13s or the Nike Air Yeezy 1 prototypes, I don't see the point of the smack, okay, where they didn't like back to the future joints, the flu game Jordans, and I'm talking about the ones Michael actually wore in the game. If not, I don't see what shoes could be worth it between the 63 year old and the 72 year old. Maybe it wasn't the shoes. Maybe it was the principal. All I'm saying is when you make decisions like this, at least let it be worth it. Especially when you're already out on bond for resisting arrest and battery on a law enforcement officer. Oh, I didn't tell y' all that part. Oh, damn. Yeah, Marina was out on bond for resisting arrest and battery on a law enforcement officer, but that didn't stop her from doing some prison math, doing some jail math in her head, and calculating that smacking this 72 year old woman was absolutely worth it. Her bond was a thousand dollars. But you still have to factor in, you know, fighting the case. And something tells me that she cannot afford an attorney, but one will be provided for her. Please let Marina go. Naga. Get the sweet times of the Hamiltons.
Charlamagne Tha God
Of the day. He haul.
DJ Envy
Always do your jail math, ladies and gentlemen. Okay, Jail math is probably the easiest math to do nowadays. I know that math that my kids be bringing home is complicated, but when you're in a situation, all you got to do is just think about it. Is it worth it? Can I afford to do what it is I'm about to do?
Charlamagne Tha God
I like the question. I like that question, though.
Lauren LaRosa
How much would I get if I sl.
Charlamagne Tha God
You know, how much would you on bond already? You got to calculate a little differently, but you got to calculate any. Anyway, she's like, ah, you know, Cause I'm already up and you know, I'm already in the rear. You know what I'm saying? What's another couple stacks if I smack her? Because, you know, she need to be smacked. Now, I don't respect her smacking an elderly. She's elderly too, but just not on the same elderly level, you know?
DJ Envy
Yeah, level with the elders.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yes.
DJ Envy
I mean, listen, she made a calculated decision, a calculated choice. I get it. That's all I ever ask of y' all is to do your jail math.
Charlamagne Tha God
Okay.
DJ Envy
If you feel like you can to afford. Afford it handy. A business.
Charlamagne Tha God
And the discount at IHOP is 55. And plus when you. 55, that's when you get the discount.
DJ Envy
Yeah, she's 63.
Charlamagne Tha God
She's 63. So she got your discounts got checked just in case. All right, well, that. Thank you for that donkey today.
DJ Envy
Yes, indeed.
Charlamagne Tha God
Now let me ask you guys something, right? 800. 5. 8, 5. 10. 5. 1. So week ago, I flew to Greece for my daughter's engagement. Me and my wife was flying out.
DJ Envy
I don't know, man. The way you talking, it seemed like it was your engagement too.
Charlamagne Tha God
Setup.
DJ Envy
Flying out.
Charlamagne Tha God
We flying first class. Right. It's a 10 hour flight. My wife's seat was broken, so they couldn't use that first class seat. The flight was packed. The only seats available in coach.
DJ Envy
Okay.
Charlamagne Tha God
What do you do in that situation? Now, mind you, I'm six foot. I'm tall. My wife's five, seven. She's short, so she can handle that coach seat better than I 800. 5. 8, 5.
DJ Envy
So what did you do?
Charlamagne Tha God
Because ain't no way. I don't care.
Lauren LaRosa
My husband is six.
Charlamagne Tha God
Your husband's six.
DJ Envy
Three.
Charlamagne Tha God
So you let your husband sit in the back with his legs open the whole flight for 10 hours?
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah. Like, what are you talking about?
Charlamagne Tha God
I don't want to be back there.
DJ Envy
What's wrong with coach?
Charlamagne Tha God
It's not a matter with coach. It's just a matter of your seat. Be humble.
DJ Envy
What you paid for back to coach.
Lauren LaRosa
I'm your wife.
DJ Envy
Like majority of working class people in America.
Charlamagne Tha God
What would you do, dude? Jeff, I would be like, babe, you.
Lauren LaRosa
Gotta take that out and sit back there.
Charlamagne Tha God
You gonna go with him.
Lauren LaRosa
Get up and stretch and stretch your legs. My seat ain't. Well, he. So it was her seat, bro. If my seat broke, he gotta give me a seat.
Charlamagne Tha God
Oh, so you're not gonna ride with him back there for 10 hours?
Keisha Lance Bottoms
No.
Lauren LaRosa
1 of the seats broken, not both.
DJ Envy
And when you say seat with bro, what does that mean? Like, you can't go back.
Charlamagne Tha God
You can't go back. You can't. Yeah. And it's the pilot's discretion to see if you can fly on that seat. That seat was. You can't recline. You can't recline. You can't. It's disabled, so it's a cover over it. And they won't let you sit. Sit there.
DJ Envy
Y' all should have traded seats with two people in coach. But you don't know.
Lauren LaRosa
They didn't know.
Charlamagne Tha God
You only know it's broken until you try to recline it. So 800. 5. 8, 5. 10, 5. 1. What would you do? That's the question. That was smart, but I would have.
DJ Envy
Traded with two people in coach.
Charlamagne Tha God
10 hours, you gonna send it back?
DJ Envy
I don't want. It's cold. So what, you too good for coaching?
Lauren LaRosa
You let your wife sit in the front.
Charlamagne Tha God
You let your wife take your seat.
Lauren LaRosa
And you sit and coach.
DJ Envy
No, my wife would. My wife would definitely be like, yo, we both gonna go back to coach, Coach.
Charlamagne Tha God
Oh, all right. Well, I'll tell you what happens when we come back. My wife is like, nah, Take the seat. She like take the seat. If she just said take the seat.

Charlamagne Tha God
Morning everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. If you're just joining us, last week my, my daughter got engaged out in Mykonos, Greece and me and my wife flew out there before them, several hours before them, like seven hours before them. So we can get there before them and, and heading to Greece, you know, we had first class tickets. They were the bed seats. Say they were the ones that laid down as a bed. One of the seats were broken, so that means only one of us had first class, right? So we couldn't go on a later flight because we had to beat Madison and Andrew, her fiance out there. So we had to be on that flight. One seat was broken. What do you do in that situation? So my wife was like, babe, you take the seat, you're taller. I Know how you are. You take the seat. I said, no. She says, take the seat, babe. I'm like, no, take the seat, babe. I'm like, no, she never said take the seat again.
DJ Envy
All right.
Charlamagne Tha God
So I wound up we. We let somebody have the first class seat. So me and my wife flew 10 hours in the back of the plane.
DJ Envy
Right. So that you did. Yeah, I did. You ain't tell me that part.
Charlamagne Tha God
I didn't say.
DJ Envy
I told you that from the beginning. That's what y' all should have did.
Charlamagne Tha God
But that's what I did. So I did that. Which it was uncomfortable because you got to sit with your legs open.
Lauren LaRosa
Right.
Charlamagne Tha God
And you know, my wife likes to cuddle, so she's on top of me, my leg falling asleep. My legs is open. Pause and we.
DJ Envy
I guarantee you the person that you gave those seats to maybe have has never flown first class. And they appreciated flying first, even with a broken seat.
Charlamagne Tha God
I'm sure they got food and all.
DJ Envy
They got food, yes, all that.
Charlamagne Tha God
Me and my wife. But on the way back, I called, I was like, I want to make sure that there's no broken seats on this plane.
DJ Envy
How did the airline compensate you?
Charlamagne Tha God
They get my money back and everything?
DJ Envy
Oh, they did, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay.
Charlamagne Tha God
Usually do for situations like that, but it's still an inconvenience.
Keisha Lance Bottoms
You.
Charlamagne Tha God
You know, they were going to put us on another flight, but we couldn't because we had to beat them there. So it was just thing.
DJ Envy
But it.
Charlamagne Tha God
It was still cool.
DJ Envy
But j.
Charlamagne Tha God
What would you do in that situation?
DJ Envy
I'm not.
Charlamagne Tha God
Not. And maybe the decisions that you guys. Wives are making are based on that.
Lauren LaRosa
Comes with age and everything, but no, I'm sitting my ass up in the front. I'm gonna go check on my husband, bring him whatever he needs to the back.
Charlamagne Tha God
Encourage him to get up and, you know, get some stretches in somebody. Six foot three. Your husband's six foot three.
Lauren LaRosa
I understand. That's why he needs to lunge and.
Charlamagne Tha God
Squat and make sure he's stretched when the sign is off. No. What about the food and all that?
Lauren LaRosa
We can switch sometimes. All right. If it's a 5, it's a 10 hour flight.
Charlamagne Tha God
All right.
DJ Envy
All right.
Lauren LaRosa
I go back there for an hour.
Charlamagne Tha God
An hour. You got nine. Yeah.
Lauren LaRosa
No, I'm not doing it. I'm sorry.
DJ Envy
Hey. No, that's. That's actually happened to me before. I can't remember exactly what it was, but I remember me and my wife got on a flight and for whatever reason, there was only like one first class. Seat, and I went to go sit back in economy, and then my wife gave her seat, her first class seat to somebody else to sit next to me in economy.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah. Nice. That's what it is. But 10 hours is a long time.
DJ Envy
It comes with age.
Charlamagne Tha God
That was a long flight. Okay, well, it comes with freight.
DJ Envy
Selfish, probably. Probably a little bit.
Lauren LaRosa
Okay.
DJ Envy
That got nothing to do with it.
Lauren LaRosa
But listen, my husband would definitely be like, yo, go. Go ahead. I'm a sit back here.
DJ Envy
No, he wouldn't. He'd be like, give me a screwdriver. I can fix this. All right? He'd be like, give me a screwdriver and a hammer. I'm a Mexican. I can fix this seat right now. That's what he would do. That's what Chris.
Charlamagne Tha God
That's even better. Shut up, Jaja.
DJ Envy
Good morning.
Charlamagne Tha God
Now, Jaja, what would you do in that situation? First class C. It's the beds. It lays down. Your husband. Is your husband taller than you?
DJ Envy
Yeah, he's tall.
Charlamagne Tha God
So he's taller than you. So do you want him to. Y' all both want to suffer together, or you gonna put him in the back to suffer by himself?
Lauren LaRosa
Right?
Keisha Lance Bottoms
Well, I think.
Lauren LaRosa
I think he should be in the front.
Keisha Lance Bottoms
I'll go in the back.
Lauren LaRosa
But he loves me like you say he loves me, and he'll want to.
Charlamagne Tha God
Suffer with me in the back. So you want him to sit back.
DJ Envy
There with you suffering in the back, though? Because anything can happen, you know? Like, this is America. What you mean can happen?
Charlamagne Tha God
Exactly.
DJ Envy
What do you think? The. The back is the hood. Oh, y' all some bougie people, boy.
Keisha Lance Bottoms
The back is the west side, right?
Lauren LaRosa
The flight attendants don't treat you as.
Charlamagne Tha God
Good the further back you are. Like, no, they want to late. When I did it, the flight center. Like, don't worry, honey. I got you extra soda. I said, extra soda. Extra soda. She's like, I got extra soda, extra crackers.
Lauren LaRosa
That's hilarious.
Charlamagne Tha God
Oh, my goodness.
DJ Envy
Hello.
Charlamagne Tha God
Who's this?
DJ Envy
Extra Soda, this is Bri from the Bronx.
Charlamagne Tha God
Bri from the Bronx. Bri, talk to us. What would you do in that situation?
DJ Envy
I think what you're saying.
Lauren LaRosa
Envy is absolutely correct that if you're.
DJ Envy
Going, if you have, you know, room.
Lauren LaRosa
It'S fine that you could sit and coach.
DJ Envy
There's nothing wrong with coach. It's the fact that you're big in.
Lauren LaRosa
Stature, so it's crazy to sit there for 10 hours.
DJ Envy
Envy ain't that big. Now. He an NBA player or something.
Charlamagne Tha God
Six free NBA players.
DJ Envy
Come on, man, cut it Out.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yes, it is. Thank you. All right. Thank you, Mama. But 800-585-1051. So I, we gave up the seat. Me and my wife sat in the back. And it wasn't even like this, two seats. It was four. So it was a row of four. So it was real tight. When she had to get up, everybody had to move to go to the bathroom. So. But we still did it.
Lauren LaRosa
See, And I respect y' all for that.
Charlamagne Tha God
I love that. But you ain't doing it. No, no, no. 800-585-1051. We had a 10 hour flight light. My wife's seat was broken. Would you tell your wife, hey, go in the back, I'll see you in 10 hours? Or would you give up your seat so y' all both could sit in the back in a tight seat?
Lauren LaRosa
Yo, this said Chris would be like.
Charlamagne Tha God
Give me a screwdriver, give me a hammer. Let's discuss it. Jay, good morning.
DJ Envy
Hey, good morning. Good morning.
Charlamagne Tha God
Hey, Jay, talk to us. What you doing in that situation?
DJ Envy
DJ envy? I'm right with you.
Charlamagne Tha God
I'm six foot three.
DJ Envy
I'm not sitting in the back.
Charlamagne Tha God
I'm.
DJ Envy
It's common courtesy. Your wife should want you to sit in the back back when we get off the plane. I ain't gonna be able to walk straight. But you know, I was thinking about even. Even without the late flat, it's still more room in first class than coach. So why would you. Why would. How would you move. Even without the lay flat, it's still more room. What you mean it's still more room in first class? You like four feet. Did you hear what I just said or you just listening to talk?
Keisha Lance Bottoms
Right, I give.
DJ Envy
Even without the lay flat, it's still more room in first class coach. So why would you move.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, the seat just don't work. Seat this just don't work. But they, they wouldn't allow anybody to sit in there. But yeah, they won't allow nobody to sit there.
DJ Envy
They wouldn't even let you sit in that seat.
Charlamagne Tha God
They would let nobody sit in that seat. Now we tried, cuz I was like, well, can we just sit in that seat, you know, sit in the back for takeoff, commanding and just sit there. But now the pilot said, no, nobody can sit.
DJ Envy
Yes, Mexico. Let Mexico sit in this first class with you. Or you sit in the back. You short, he tall Charlamagne. You mad short, Mz. I'm more tall with you. I mean, Mexican kids can get on the wing. How's. What do they be doing when they be sneaking in. I'm just saying.
Charlamagne Tha God
What? Sneaking in?
DJ Envy
I'm just saying, like Jeff's husband, a little different. Chris could find anywhere to fit on the plane. Yeah, Hello?
Charlamagne Tha God
Who's this?
Lauren LaRosa
This is angel from the east side of Detroit.
Charlamagne Tha God
Angel. What up, doe? What you doing, Angel? You letting your husband ride first class or you sitting? Or you making him come to baby back with you?
Keisha Lance Bottoms
He riding first class.
DJ Envy
His teeth not broke.
Keisha Lance Bottoms
Mine is. He can make that up to me later.
Charlamagne Tha God
Okay.
Lauren LaRosa
I love her.
Charlamagne Tha God
Okay, so even if it's a 10 hour flight, you go sit back there by yourself.
DJ Envy
I sit there by myself? Yes.
Charlamagne Tha God
Okay. And you're not going to get mad when y' all land?
Keisha Lance Bottoms
No, he g. He gonna do some.
Lauren LaRosa
Time, but no, my husband gonna ride in his seat.
Charlamagne Tha God
Okay. Thank you, Mama.
Lauren LaRosa
I love that.
Charlamagne Tha God
Hello? Who's this?
DJ Envy
This a from deep.
Charlamagne Tha God
And what up, doe?
DJ Envy
Hey, what up, though? Look, check it out. Envy.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yes, sir.
DJ Envy
You should have took it to the back. You've been in small places before. You've been in the doghouse before.
Charlamagne Tha God
Damn. I did take it to the back door. I don't know if you heard what I said. I said I actually. We gave up our seat. Me and my wife sat in the back. I know, exactly.
DJ Envy
It shouldn't have been no negotiation.
Charlamagne Tha God
Hey, we gotta negotiate sometimes. But we gonna give up the seat. You know, I wasn't gonna fly 10 hours. It was a special occasion. I was gonna give that seat. He took it in the back for 10 hours. I did not take it in the back.
DJ Envy
Giving up seats, taking it to the back. Damn. Grease was wild.
Charlamagne Tha God
Grease was wild. A lot of grease. Hello, who's this?
DJ Envy
Good morning. Good morning.
Charlamagne Tha God
What would you do in that situation, Mama? Would you tell your husband, look, you can sit in the front. You're six foot plus. I'll sit in the back. What would you do in that situation?
Lauren LaRosa
Well, I would suggest that we bless someone else and both go to the back and let somebody get an upgrade on him.
Charlamagne Tha God
Envy.
DJ Envy
That's what we said. But that's what you said y' all did.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, that's what we did.
DJ Envy
That was my first thought.
Charlamagne Tha God
But that's somebody sitting in the seat. And me and my wife sat in the. We sat in the back. And the coach.
DJ Envy
There you.
Lauren LaRosa
There you go, Envy. That's it.
Charlamagne Tha God
Good heart.
DJ Envy
And you'll get it back.
Charlamagne Tha God
That's right.
DJ Envy
You right.
Charlamagne Tha God
Thank you, Mama.
DJ Envy
Bye.
Lauren LaRosa
Bye.
Charlamagne Tha God
But I ain't gonna lie. My wife would have said, one more time, babe, no, you go sit in front. That boy would have been third.
DJ Envy
Third time they didn't learn from Theo and Cockroach. Right when they was arguing about. About going into dance fever. Okay. You better say what you want. Yep.
Charlamagne Tha God
All right, what's the story? He was meta, but yeah. Yeah, I feel bad for Chris because Chris is six foot three. Six foot six?
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah.
Charlamagne Tha God
Just would have him sit in the back of the plane with his legs open while Jess's five foot five ass would have been in the front.
Lauren LaRosa
Two weeks.
Charlamagne Tha God
To each his own.
Lauren LaRosa
And I'm five foot two.
Charlamagne Tha God
You five two?
Lauren LaRosa
Yes.
Charlamagne Tha God
Jesus Christ.
Lauren LaRosa
He would want. He would want me to do that. He would want me. You know what, babe?
Charlamagne Tha God
Go ahead. Go ahead.
Lauren LaRosa
Cause I love you.
Charlamagne Tha God
I don't know if I believe I'm here for you. All right, well, we got the latest with Lauren coming up, so don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Lauren becoming a straight thing. She gets them from somebody that knows somebody.
DJ Envy
She gets the details.
Lauren LaRosa
I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about everything.
DJ Envy
She'll be having the latest on the bees, the largest, the Latest with Lauren LaRosa. Sometimes we affect some. Sometimes you have details. Sometimes you have a little bit of everything. Well, it's the latest on the Breakfast Club.
Lauren LaRosa
So there is a video circulating from an NBA YoungBoy concert that went down in Kansas City. Now NBA Young Boys concert or tour has been happening for some time. It's been going viral because the crowd, you know, the NBA youngboy fans go hard for him. But at this specific concert in Kansas City at the T Mobile arena, there was an elderly man in the video that is seeing being a. Attacked by a. A younger guy. Like, like a really younger guy.
Charlamagne Tha God
Elderly man was at the show.
Lauren LaRosa
The elderly man was working at the arena. He was a security, right? Yeah, he was security. They have a different name for him. It's like a. I'll get the name. But basically he was security. Yes. Now reportedly a onlooker and the person who recorded the video says that the incident went down or happened over a seating dispute. But the elderly man who says that he suffered it was non life threatening injuries, but there were injuries to his face. He spoke out, he's spoken out. Now to Fox for a local there. Let's take a listen to him.
Charlamagne Tha God
No audio.
Lauren LaRosa
Yes, we do. I. We literally just cut it.
DJ Envy
You know, you work well. In the interview with worst production team in the business.
Lauren LaRosa
In the interview with Fox 4, the elderly man basically says that even though this happened, he does believe that the concert should still go on. He does believe that the concert should still go on. And he also says that, you know, he suffered injuries to his face. So there was something that went on with his nose. Nose. And I did reach out to police because he also mentions the fact that that police had to get involved. So we do have NBA Young Boy.
Charlamagne Tha God
Now serious that I went down and had blows to my head.
DJ Envy
That is 66 year old Thomas Schlange.
Charlamagne Tha God
Describing the moments he's thrown on his back and repeatedly punched over and over again. And the only thing on his mind.
DJ Envy
Just getting him off, getting him off me because he was so enraged, you.
Charlamagne Tha God
Know, so we were just, we were.
DJ Envy
In essence trying to protect the fans. Did you ever think that you would be in a situation where you were so desperate feeling as though you're fighting for your life? Yes.
Charlamagne Tha God
No.
DJ Envy
As young adults or people growing into adulthood, we need to learn how to control our anger. He's absolutely right. But has he not seen the video footage of the NBA youngboy confidence?
Charlamagne Tha God
Does he know who NBA youngboy is?
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah, but I mean where was the.
DJ Envy
Rest of the security guards? Why was he alone?
Lauren LaRosa
I don't know. Because in that video people from the stands had to help get the boy off of him. There was no other guard. But he also didn't have time to.
Charlamagne Tha God
Like call a guard. Well, if you ever been to a lot of those shows, a lot of time they just wreck. They're not real bouncer security guards. They're just people that just work at the venue that just tell people where to sit they need to be.
DJ Envy
For an NBA Y N show.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yes.
DJ Envy
Okay.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah. Well, I. So I spoke to Kansas City police trying to get some updates on what. Because I wanted to confirm what reports are that it happened overseeding this dispute. They would not disclose that, but all they told me was that the juvenile male was detained and then released. He was detained that same evening. He was released after to his guardian and it's pending further investigation. But they are working with the prosecutors there to determine if and what charges will be pressed and then it'll move forward.
DJ Envy
I will say though, NBA Young Boys had a. A string of successful ass sold out arenas or whatever he's doing. And I haven't heard about nothing at all. No incidents. This is the first incident that I've heard about.
Lauren LaRosa
Yes. And that's what I mean by like the energy is insane. But I haven't heard of incidents at all. But yeah, they are young. I actually was. We were talking about it. I wanted, I want to go to the concert. But yeah, because Just because of what the energy in the crowd gives while there. But, yeah, I'll be.
DJ Envy
Y' all definitely will be aunties at that show.
Lauren LaRosa
Put up. I need to be in the suite. I need to be. Yeah, I want to be. I want to give Auntie. I'm gonna come in with boots, glasses, the whole thing. I'm following auntie there.
DJ Envy
I know, right?
Charlamagne Tha God
Please call me.
Lauren LaRosa
I'm there.
Charlamagne Tha God
Can he go? But he want me to take him.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah.
DJ Envy
Who you want to go with?
Lauren LaRosa
A couple of his homeboys.
Charlamagne Tha God
You crazy? If you let him.
Lauren LaRosa
No, I didn't say I was gonna let him.
DJ Envy
It really hasn't. I haven't heard no incidents at that.
Charlamagne Tha God
I don't care if it's NBA Young boy or if it's whatever I'm. I'm taking. And how old he? 14, 13. Oh, yeah.
Lauren LaRosa
But I told him I was like, I want to go, too. And he was like, nah, I'm gonna.
Charlamagne Tha God
Just ask my dad or Chris, like.
Lauren LaRosa
But it's like, why you don't want to go? So that auntie energy definitely gives heavy with me. Yes, but I want to go. I heard it. Tiana Taylor directed it. Yeah, she's. She's our creative director.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah.
Lauren LaRosa
There was videos going viral, like the. Yeah, the first couple tour stops of her in the. Not in the crowd, but, like, on the riser, where, like, all the direction stuff happens. That's one of the reasons that I wanted to go, because I wanted to see all the. I know the visuals are probably gonna be crazy on the stage, but to be fair, also, I did reach out to NBA Young Boys attorney Drew Finland, just to see if there was anything, you know, because this does look crazy on him, even though it's not his fault. But they haven't gotten back to me as well. So if there's any update, I will let you guys know. Now, in other news, Kamala Harris sat down with the View yesterday, which is a moment I think everybody's been waiting for, because, you know, there has been news about her book 107 Days out, and she addresses the moment on the View where she does not separate herself from Biden, which a lot of people think adds to why she lost the election. And they talk about it. Let's take a listen to Kamala Harris on the View.
Keisha Lance Bottoms
People wanted to know there was a difference between me and President Biden. I thought it was obvious, and I didn't want to offer a difference in a way that would be received or suggested to be a criticism. And, you know, in the campaign Full time. I was pointing out the differences. My theory of the case was we need to bring costs down. We're going to extend the child tax credit. We're going to have Medicare cover home health care for people, including people in the sandwich generation who are raising young children and taking care of their parents. It was about we're going to take on price gouging, bringing down costs. And I thought I was making the point and I realize now that I didn't fully appreciate that how much of an issue it was.
DJ Envy
I mean, that moment was definitely one of the reasons that she lost. And it's not just because of that one singular moment on the View. It's how conservative media and Trump pack ads took it and ran it over and over and over and over again. Especially being Joe Biden was so trash and unpopular people. It was just that simple.
Charlamagne Tha God
The fact that she said she would change nothing.
DJ Envy
Yes. If somebody's considered that unpopular, popular, according to polling and people have a, A, you know, a feeling towards him, like he's trash, then yes, you got to say, you got to separate yourself.
Charlamagne Tha God
She was trying to stay loyal and hurt her.
Lauren LaRosa
Yes. Very much.
DJ Envy
Great read, though. I'm telling you, I, I thoroughly enjoyed 107 days I want to do.
Lauren LaRosa
I'm just, I just hate the fact, as I'm watching these interviews, I keep reiterating this, but I hate the fact that she has to do certain things, like the fact that she had to just think that people would assume that she was different to mine instead of being able to just say it. I hate that she had to, first of all.
DJ Envy
But why wouldn't you? You're campaigning. That's your job to tell people how different you are.
Lauren LaRosa
But that's why I hate it because the reason why she couldn't do it is all of the things, like she was going to be disloyal. She was going to be not knowing her place. She was. There were so many things.
Charlamagne Tha God
He was so unpopular, though. He was so unpopular, nobody wanted to ride that train. All she had to say was, I'm going to do things totally different.
DJ Envy
It was all, it was all a choice. She chose not to. So the only thing she could do now is reflect. Okay. She chose not to.
Lauren LaRosa
She also, in wrapping up. I know we got to get out of here. She also reflected on, like, just finding, like the day that she didn't win the election. And she compared the grief to losing her mom. Can we play that as we exit or we don't have time?
Keisha Lance Bottoms
That chapter in the book was probably one of the most difficult things that I had to reflect on and write about Doug and I, my husband. It wasn't until I was writing that chapter that we had ever talked about election night. And that's when Doug told me that he had been out campaigning with my brother in law in Pennsylvania. On his way back from a rally. They talked with. With a mutual friend of ours who was over at Fox News in the war room who had been hearing about data that suggested things were not looking great in Pennsylvania. So he didn't want to put that on me. He went upstairs and he basically went in the shower and prayed that it was not going to be a bad night. But that night I grieved in a way that I have not since my mother died. The pain was. It was not at all about losing a race. I knew what it was going to mean for, for the country. I was going to say for the family, that's what. And that's how I felt for the country.
Charlamagne Tha God
I just imagine being out there doing the Electric Slide all that time with all the HBCU people. Yo, and then having to walk out of there and everybody was somber.
DJ Envy
We was there. But hey, imagine God sending Doug's prayer to his spam folder. She said, Doug went to the. God ain't listening to Doug. Said, Doug went in shower to pray. And God was like, man, I got press. More pressing issues, okay? Damn.
Lauren LaRosa
She needed the black side to pray.
Charlamagne Tha God
On the way out.
Lauren LaRosa

I'm so mad you didn't call me, cuz I do. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
DJ Envy

Charlamagne Tha God
No, that's not true.
DJ Envy
Okay?

This is an I Heart podcast.
This full-length show oscillates between personal celebrations, hot-button pop culture drama, and in-depth political conversation. DJ Envy reveals details about his daughter's surprise engagement in Greece, while the hosts break down fiery social media exchanges between JT and Cardi B, plus a major tease from Nicki Minaj about a new album. The episode’s centerpiece is an insightful interview with former Atlanta mayor and current Georgia gubernatorial candidate Keisha Lance Bottoms, touching on race, politics, policy, and the reality of running for office today.
“When she turned around, he was on a knee... and he was, you know, Madison, you are the most beautiful thing and most smart. And it was—I started to cry. I was trying to hold her tears in. And then he said, will you marry me? And she said, yes.”
— DJ Envy (19:41)
“Nothing that he says is really based off of facts. This is just opinion and emotion, right?” — Charlamagne (08:09)
Kimmel addresses his audience after a suspension, apologizing for a controversial monologue, and blasting Trump for targeting him.
Broad discussion on freedom of speech and what it means when government pressure impacts television, with Kimmel name-checking supporters and detractors alike.
Notable Kimmel Quote (33:34):
“The President of the United States made it very clear he wants to see me and the hundreds of people who work here fired from our jobs. Our leader celebrates Americans losing their livelihoods because he can't take a joke. He tried, did his best to cancel me. Instead, he forced millions of people to watch the show that backfired bigly.” — Jimmy Kimmel
Lauren LaRosa reports on social media beef: Cardi B’s new song “Magnet” throws shots at JT and Uzi; ensuing Twitter drama escalates, mixing personal allegations and career jabs.
Cardi B responds at a public event, waving “receipts”; JT posts from the studio but is criticized for not responding in music.
“Cardi gave you bars. Like, I want to hear you rap, JT. I don't want to see tweets and Instagram rants. Would Gina Fuse say, rap? Get in the booth.” — DJ Envy (67:34)
Amid the drama, Nicki Minaj cryptically posts a 2026 date, hinting at new music.
“I think there's an attack on black leadership across the board. I think the attack on black mayors is like, that's generational.” — Keisha Lance Bottoms (53:19)
“That night I grieved in a way that I have not since my mother died. The pain was—it was not at all about losing a race. I knew what it was going to mean for the country.” — Kamala Harris (101:15)
“When you choose to do something, then to me, you have also chosen the consequences... All I ever ask of y’all is do your jail math.” — Charlamagne Tha God (77:40)
The hosts—true to form—combine sharp humor, real talk, and open-hearted engagement with their guests and callers. The tone pivots easily from celebratory (Envy’s family news) to heated (music beef), to earnest (politics and social commentary), always drawing listeners into the conversation.
The episode wraps up celebrating black achievement (Keisha Lance Bottoms’ campaign), personal milestones, and the importance of perseverance:
“People think that perseverance is like this long race. No. Perseverance is many short races, one after another, and you're going to need it. Because success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice, and most of all, love of what you are doing or learning to do.” — DJ Envy (104:44)
