We were in Atlantic City this weekend, so just getting to see all of the different chair dads and cheer moms and, you know, walking around, connecting with them and telling. They. They telling me they listen to the Breakfast Club and brilliant idiots and read my books and all of that good stuff. It's just good breaking bread with them, man.
DJ Envy
That's right. You know, I'm a dance dad, so, you know, every weekend we. We hit the road. We were in New York City this weekend, so it wasn't too bad. But I want to salute to Kevin Hart and the Plastic Cup Boys. Drop a bomb for them. Kevin Hart was on the show last week and I did a date night. I took my wife to see Kevin Hart. Actually my daughter and her boyfriend, when we double dated. And when I say one of the funniest shows I've seen this year. Hilarious. And I know that they always have this talk that Kevin Hart is not funny. And I don't know where this talk comes from because that show was freaking.
Charlamagne Tha God
Hilarious from you don't get to the level Kevin Hart is at if he not funny. And Spank and Naim and all the plastic cupboards are funny as hell too. You talking about OG triple OG veterans in the comedy game, by the way.
DJ Envy
And you know, the funny thing about it, it was really talking about, you know, people 35 and plus majority of the night.
Charlamagne Tha God
So they was like, it's the act of my age, though.
DJ Envy
That's right. So they were talking about. Yeah, I know you guys thought this show was gonna start at 8 so you can get home by 11, but we started a little late. Like it went from the whole OG old to it made you feel good, but I had a great time. But all of them were just hilarious. So salute to Spank. Salute to Naim. Salute to Kevin Hart. Salute to the whole team. I had an amazing time. And they rolled out the red carpet. I mean, food, we had drinks. It was. It was a dope experience. So again, salute if you get a chance to check them out in your city. Definitely, definitely do that. What up?
Charlamagne Tha God
That's good because they kicked you out last time.
DJ Envy
Yeah, they'll know. You know, the funny thing is. So my phone went off during the, during the pro. During the show this time, too. So I walked, I got my ass up. I said, I'm not gonna check my phone right here. I walked my ass up all the way to the back, and when I, when I opened up my phone, they came in and got me again. It was like, there's no phones in here. I said, bro, I'm not inside, I'm outside. They was like, I don't. You know, there's no phones in here. I said, I.
Charlamagne Tha God
You need to start respecting people's comedy shows. You, you, Kevin out there making. Kevin out there making all that money doing his standup special. And I'm. And I'm. He's going to turn that into a special at some point. Respect, people show.
DJ Envy
I stepped out. I walked all the way out so I wouldn't have that problem. They still damn near threw me out.
Charlamagne Tha God
Well, they told you keep your phone away, didn't they?
DJ Envy
They definitely did. What up, Jess?
Lauren LaRosa

DJ Envy

Lauren LaRosa

Traveling back from LA to come back on the east coast, that's the whole thing. That's the all day thing. It don't matter, like, how early you get up, you're still three hours late at home.
DJ Envy
That's right.
Lauren LaRosa
I was, you know, four and then the clock changed.
DJ Envy
Yo, then you tired.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yep.
DJ Envy
And then you had some of that smoke from the west coast, you know what I'm saying?
Lauren LaRosa
Yup. And then, you know, still breastfeeding, still got a pump and all that. Come home to a baby who just want her mother.
DJ Envy
That's right.
Lauren LaRosa
Crazy. But it's amazing, though.
DJ Envy
All right, well, let's get the show cracking. Andrew Schultz will be joining us this morning. He has a new special on Netflix, It's Life. Life. Yeah. So we're going to be talking to Andrew Schultz and then also Congressman Al Green.
Charlamagne Tha God
He's actually joined us on a Friday and we did release that, that interview digitally. Digitally this weekend. But we getting it back on for our listeners this morning.
DJ Envy
Right. And if you don't know who Al Green is, not the singer, he's the congressman who actually stepped out last week as Donald Trump was speaking. He actually Got thrown out. So we'll talk to him about all that in a little bit. All right, well, let's get the show cracking. We got front page news. A lot going on this morning. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get into front page news now. LeBron James is expected to miss one to two weeks. He has a groin strain, so you won't be seeing him for a couple of weeks. All right, what's up, Morgan?
Morgan Woods
Good morning, DJ Envy. Charlemagne, the God and Jess. Hilarious. How y'all feeling? Happy. Happy Monday.
Lauren LaRosa
Good morning, Morgan.
Charlamagne Tha God
Peace, Morgan.
Morgan Woods
Oh, goodness. Okay, let's wake up, y'all. So let's try. I know. I'm giving energy. Come on, come on. Get some of this energy. Get some of this energy, Sean. Let's talk. Let's talk about it. Thousands of people gathered in Selma, Alabama, yesterday to mark the 60th anniversary of Bloody Sunday. That was the day in 1965 when civil rights demonstrators were attacked by police in a clash that shocked the nation and galvanized support for Voting Rights act of 1965. National Urban League President and CEO Mark Morial, he spoke at the event and says that many of the people are concerned about the recent job cuts implemented by the Trump administration. And it's also renewing concerns about civil rights. Let's hear more from Marc Morial.
Charlamagne Tha God
There's a strong sense of indignation against.
Andrew Schultz
These steps, which is seen as not.
Charlamagne Tha God
In the best interest of America, but also that could hurt black America, brown America, poor Americans, and even disadvantage white Americans.
Andrew Schultz
So there's a resolve, I believe, coming out of Selma, that this is going.
Charlamagne Tha God
To be important work and an important.
Andrew Schultz
Fight, and we must do it.
Morgan Woods
Yeah. So House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, he led a bipartisan congressional delegation of about 40 lawmakers during the ceremonies. Activities also included the annual walk across the Edmund Pettus Bridge to commemorate and recreate the 1965 rights march to from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama. Did you guys see any of that coverage?
Charlamagne Tha God
I did. And you know what? When you. When you hear stuff like that and you watch stuff like that, you know, even with the attack that is happening on civil rights right now, you have to applaud black people for how far we've come in 60 years. Like, think about how. How short 60 years ago was and all of the different things we've accomplished, you know, since then. So drop on the clues bombs for us, man.
Congressman Al Green
Okay.
Morgan Woods
Hey, I like that.
Charlamagne Tha God
We don't give you. We don't give ourselves enough credit.
Morgan Woods
No, for real. That's right. Popular Pop. Yo. Meanwhile, the army has officially changed the name of Fort Liberty back to Fort Bragg, but it's not the same Fort Bragg as before. So Fort Bragg is being named for Roland L. Bragg, who earned the Silver Silver Star for carrying wounded Americans in a captured German ambulance 20 miles under enemy fire. Not the initial Confederate General Braxton Bragg from 1922. So Lieutenant General Gregory K. Anderson, he oversaw a transitional renaming ceremony at the North Carolina army installation on Friday. And here's what he had to say in regards to the renaming.
Andrew Schultz
Fort Bragg is just not any base.
Charlamagne Tha God
It is our nation's premier force projection platform. It is a culture of toughness and.
Andrew Schultz
War fighting, and it is a way of life.
Charlamagne Tha God
Fort Bragg is a place where ordinary people transform into heroes.
Andrew Schultz
Ordinary people like Private First Class Roland L. Bragg.
Morgan Woods
So again, Roland L. Bragg is not the initial Fort Bragg as General Braxton Bragg. And again, we will see a lot more of these type of changes. Luckily, you know, they named it that way. But at the same time, you're going to start seeing a lot of more reversals. For example, in Washington, D.C. black Lives Matter Plaza near the White House is being replaced. The D.C. department of Transportation will start working on that that today. And the work will take about six to eight weeks to complete. The decision to paint over the mural was announced last week after Republican Congressman Andrew Clyde of Georgia introduced a bill to withhold funding from DC if it wasn't removed. Now the bill also demanded a name change from Black Lives Matter Plaza to Liberty Plaza. D.C. mayor Muriel Bowser says she won't jeopardize the much needed funding for the District. Let's hear more from her.
Just Hilarious
We have bigger fish to fry than fights over what has been very important to us and into their history and especially in our ability to keep our city safe. During that time, that mural played a very important part, but now our focus is, is, is on making sure our residents and our economy survives.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yes, I understand her choosing her battles and not wanting to fight for the mural, but is that legal? Can you say I'm withholding funding? If you don't, you don't get rid of this.
Morgan Woods
Yes, because you are. Because that's the District. And what I want people to know, and I know we're running out of time. D.C. does not receive federal funding on the same level as a state. It does receive federal funding on the same level as a municipality like a city. So you got, you know, think about New York Has Manhattan, Brooklyn and all different boroughs. Well, D.C. is only going to get a portion of that like a city, which is why they're pushing for statehood. So, you know, I'm not going to get too much into that. We'll Talk more at 7am that's your front page news for 6am and, yeah, I'm Morgan Woods. So we'll talk more about it at 7am yes, somebody was at the White House or pulled up on the White House and was trying to, you know, maybe take out the president. We'll get into that at seven.

Charlamagne Tha God

DJ Envy
And my wife told me, my wife said, if they kick you out, I'm not leaving with you. I told you to put your phone away.

DJ Envy
Good morning.
Charlamagne Tha God
I just want to say that, you know, everything going on in this country right now, a lot of people talking about. About the United States and this and that, but at the end of the day, man, I went to visit the country where I come from, and I got robbed at gunpoint. And it sets the reality of, like, how privileged the life here is. You know, you turn around, where you went to visit. I went to visit Mexico. Oh, well, if it makes you feel better, somebody's getting robbed at gunpoint right now as we speak, somewhere in America.
DJ Envy
Damn.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, yeah, but I'm saying that the quality of life here is better. You know, you have food in your plate, you turn on the water, you have water right away. Most places where you live, and a lot of countries don't have that privileged life that we live here.
Just Hilarious
Okay.
Charlamagne Tha God
And I just want to say, you know, with everything going on with the administration, people talk bad about this country and saying, this is bad, and this is that, but at the end of the day, you got to be, you know, thankful for everything you have. It's still a great country. You get to enjoy a life that you wouldn't be able to live somewhere else. And. And just to put into perspective, I've been to Mexico four times in the last three years, and I got robbed three times, and one time it was by a copy.
DJ Envy
Well, maybe you shouldn't go back if you keep getting robbed in the same place all the time.
Charlamagne Tha God
It's because I got family. I got. I got.
DJ Envy
Well, I'm sorry about that.
Charlamagne Tha God
Nah, no problem. No problem, you know, but just wanted to spread that message that, you know, despite everything happening, at the end of the day, this is a beautiful country and everything's gonna get better in a.

Seem like he's trying to prove, like, he don't need Calvin or something. Calvin is all he need. Well, that's a good point. He better stop playing with him. You see how he was shunning him a little bit? He better stop playing with him. But Cal put his hands on him. I didn't know he even tried. He changed coaches, so maybe that's a good perspective. Yeah. If you go back, watch the fight. He got the guy. Barry Hunter. Barry hunter is from D.C. head by his gym.

DJ Envy
Jesus.
Lauren LaRosa
All right, break it down.
DJ Envy
We'll get into that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Jess. Hilarious Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to the latest with Lauren.
Lauren LaRosa
Lauren becoming a straight fat.
DJ Envy
She gets them from somebody that knows somebody.
Just Hilarious
I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about everything.
Charlamagne Tha God
She be having the latest on the Latest with Lauren LaRosa. Sometimes we have facts, sometimes you have details. Sometimes she have a little bit of everything. Oh, it's the latest on the Breakfast Club. Talk to me.
Just Hilarious
Alrighty. So now we've been reporting on, like, the Diddy lawsuits, right. For a while in here. Back in October, we actually reported on a lawsuit that was recently amended. Recently, as in Friday was amended to add Drew Ski and Odell Beckham Jr. And what the woman is accusing them of is raping her, allegedly, along with Diddy. So back in October, there's a woman named Ashley Parham, I believe that's how you say her last name. And she said that she had met one of Diddy's colleagues in a bar. He was basically trying to flex on her FaceTime and Diddy, like, you know, to show that he knows Diddy or whatever. And she wasn't pressed while Puff was on the phone. She says that she said. Or she over. He overheard her saying, I don't really care about him. Anyway, jokingly, she said. She was saying it like jokingly, but she accused him of having something to do with Tupac's murder. And she says that he visibly was upset over the phone when that happened a month or so later, this woman, I guess she still kept in contact with the friend. She agreed to go and help this friend, Diddy's friend, administer some cancer medications that he needed Help with at his home. She goes into the home. She's there. They're, you know what I mean, doing whatever it is that I guess she needed done. They take a ride and come back to the house. The door was left open when she gets back. Now Puff is there with others.
DJ Envy
Allegedly.
Just Hilarious
Allegedly. Right now, back in October, when this was first filed, we didn't know who the other parties involved in this were. Yeah, it was John Doe. They were just listed as John Does. But now she's saying that those John does were Odell Beckham Jr. And Drew Ski. So now bringing us up to speed on what she's alleging that Drew Ski and Odell Beckham Jr. Were a part of. So in this document, she says that Diddy was forcibly, allegedly forcibly raping her to the point where he even used, like, a remote to do it at one point in time. And she says that when it comes to Drew Ski, that Diddy allegedly instructed another defendant, who was Doe, to also rape her. And that defendant has been determined to be Drew Ski. Instead of immediately raping the plaintiff. The defendant, I mean, the plaintiff, the woman, Ashley, is alleging that Drew Ski doused her with more oil and lubricant and then jumped on top of the plaintiff naked with an oil body, treating it like a slip and slide and knocking the wind out of the plaintiff due to his enormous size.
Charlamagne Tha God
Who believes this?
Just Hilarious
That's what she's alleging happened? Yep. And then she's saying that Drew caught himself from sliding over the plaintiff's oil body and off the bed, and then he began raping her, allegedly raping her vaginally. Now, she says that while this was happening, Puff was, you know, somewhere off in a chair in the room, watching and pleasuring himself. He was also recording as this was happening as well, too. So she's. These claims are. You know what I mean? Because she's saying that this was like a violent rate, like, to the point where when she was up and trying to leave, it took her a minute to kind of get herself together. But there's a lot to this. Even in the beginning of this, in October, when she first alleged it, she said that, like, on her way out, they. She went to the backyard, and these people were in the backyard still. So she was trying to figure out how she was going to leave. Now that we know it was Drew Ski, allegedly Drew Ski and Odell Beckham Jr. She's saying that they, after they violently raped her, allegedly, they went to this backyard to smoke marijuana and cigarettes, and on her way out, she ran into them. And there was a whole like exchange of like a gun went off at one point.
DJ Envy
Is this Busby attorney?
Just Hilarious
No, her attorney is. It's not Attorney Busby. I'll get the attorney's name for you. Her attorney's name is this doctor who.
Charlamagne Tha God
Really believes Drew Ski was pretending that a young lady was a slip and slide. Come on now. Come on now.
Just Hilarious
It's insane. Yeah. And basically so the way that it's set up is like she's a legendary.

Join the flighty Damien Hirst to see unravel the mystery of his vanished boyfriend and Santi was gone. I've been spending all my time looking for answers about what happened to Santi and what's the way to find a missing person? Sleep with everyone he knew, obviously. Hmm. Pillow talk. The most unwelcome window into the human psyche. Follow our out of his element hero as he engages in a series of ill conceived investigative hookups. Mama always used to say God gave me gumption in place of a gag reflex. And as I was about to learn, no amount of showering can wash your hands of a bad hookup.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, take a big whiff my bruh.
Jess Hilarious
Listen to the hookup on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to your favorite shows.
Just Hilarious
Like Drew Ski and Odell Beckham Jr. Were like doing anything at the beck and call of Puff. So he was telling them what to do. They were doing it. But yesterday, Drew Ski did respond to this and he says this allegation is a fabricated lie. I wasn't a public figure in 2018. I was broke, living with my mom without any connections to the entertainment industry at the time of this allegation. So the inclusion of my name is truly outlandish. My heart breaks for actual victims of abuse, but I'm fully confident that the evidence will expose this falsehood and that individuals who are maliciously trying to game the legal system will be exposed. People who are trying to game the legal system and pedal false narratives.
Charlamagne Tha God
I wish Drew Ski didn't even dignify that foolishness with a response like whoever created that story didn't even try to make it sound believable. And stories like this one just make it harder for real victims to be believed.
Lauren LaRosa
And then also it's just still just a stain on your name. I get why he did say something. I mean, I, I I'm almost certain he Got a publicist that probably would tell him, like, not to, but when something like that just. It's like, yo, come on, yo.
Just Hilarious
Like, yeah, I think that was the thing. His brand deals and stuff like that. I think the thinking behind releasing the statement was like, it's. It's moving already. And if you don't say anything, it grows bigger. But.
Lauren LaRosa
Right.
Charlamagne Tha God
I mean, would you say something that grows bigger? When Drew Ski. When Drew Ski actually says something, that's when it becomes a real story.
Just Hilarious
I think for me, when I saw it, I thought it was fake. Like, I literally. I went, it's still a lawsuit because.
DJ Envy
It is fake, but it's a lawsuit.
Just Hilarious
I mean, like, I didn't. I didn't think that it was actual lawsuit. Lawsuit that was filed. I thought someone created paperwork because it was only circulated on Twitter. There were no outlets that it picked it up. So I'm like, this paperwork has to be fake. Like, someone had to make this up. Then I went on the online system where you could pull the filings, and I saw it, and I was like, oh, okay, this is real. Because I just. Yeah, it just seemed that the claims were, like, so outlandish. And then I also was able to speak to some attorneys and things, and I'm like, okay, no, this is real.
Lauren LaRosa
I get why he says something happening. Yeah, maybe he shouldn't, but I get exactly why he says.
DJ Envy
But the reason why. Yeah, the reason why he probably said it because he was like, 2018. I'm in my mom's house. I knew nobody, so it's like, I wasn't even famous at this time, so.
Charlamagne Tha God
Exactly.
DJ Envy
Call. This is frivolous. But he still is gonna have to, you know, get attorney and pay for it, which is going to cost him a couple hundred thousand, which sucks.
Just Hilarious
Yeah.
Charlamagne Tha God
Now he got to. He got to spend money for a lawyer just to prove his innocence, because somebody's looking for a quick payday. And I promise you, if people realized how often these civil cases go nowhere, they would stop doing this. Because folks do these cases thinking they going to get paid, and they rarely do. If more people knew that they. More people knew that they wouldn't get no money from this. They stop wasting folks time by following this foolishness.
DJ Envy
No, they wouldn't.
Lauren LaRosa
Crazy the lawyer. And she said, drew Ski. I'd have been like, yo, you seriously.
DJ Envy
No.
Lauren LaRosa
Like, you really expect me to, like, fight this for you and Drew Ski, the.
Just Hilarious
The attorney. I know you asked me that. Envy the attorney. Her name is, I believe I'm saying correctly, Ariel Mitchell. Yeah. And she's. They said she's an attorney. I've heard of her before in like some of the cases that she's worked on before. So, you know, she's not new.
Charlamagne Tha God
She's.
Just Hilarious
You know what I mean? Like, she's not right new or whatever. But no, it's not attorney Busby. So I don't know if that changes anything.
DJ Envy
But I'm just curious now, Charlamagne, what you said is. Is not true. The reason it's not true is because people don't have to pay for an attorney. Right. A lot of these, these attorneys are doing it for free or they'll get a third or whatever. They, you know, they'll get a percentage of whatever they win. And because of that, people won't fly. File a lawsuit. Now if people actually had to pay an attorney to file a lawsuit.
Charlamagne Tha God
That's not what I said. What I said was if people realized how often these civil cases go nowhere and they don't get paid, they don't win these suits. They file these suits with these frivolous claims and they go nowhere. If people. Two things. If they could. If they didn't have to remain anonymous, if they had to actually put themselves out there and say, hey, my name is such and such, and they realized they wasn't gonna get no money from these cases, they wouldn't follow them, they wouldn't waste their time.
Just Hilarious
She's out there and she's been out there since she first filed. And I will say, Ariel Mitchell, we will remember her because Diddy's team, when they filed the 50 million dollar defamation lawsuit, it was against Courtney Burgess's, who was a music manager, and then the attorney, Ariel Mitchell, who's also filing this. So she's kind of been.
Charlamagne Tha God
Oh, that's the victim's name. What's the, what's the alleged victim's name.
Just Hilarious
In this case is Ashley Par. Him. But I was talking about the attorney because I. She'd been. She's been involved in a few other cases that I am familiar with. So I'm just, you know, letting envy know who that was.
Charlamagne Tha God
But, you know, people are only doing this stuff because they think they're gonna get some payday. Yeah, of course, if they knew they weren't gonna get no money, if they knew how slim the chances were of them getting paid, they wouldn't file these cases.
DJ Envy
I still don't think they would care because it's costing them nothing. Like it really cost them nothing. They can go to attorney and attorney is doing all the work. For free? Pretty much. But if they actually had to pay an attorney and money had to come out their pocket, then they wouldn't do it. Yeah, then they wouldn't do it. But if attorneys are willing to do it for free, it'll continue on and on and on and on.
Just Hilarious
Well, I will say OB. I'm sorry. Go ahead, Charlotte.
Charlamagne Tha God
No, I was gonna say they really need to change the laws in this country, too, because you should not be able to make those kind of claims just because you feel like it. In fact, claims like that should only be allowed to be made criminally. And after someone makes the claims criminally, police should have to investigate the claims before they decide it's enough to file charges and arrest someone. But these wild, salacious claims in civil shoot suits, they should be illegal, man.
Just Hilarious
Yeah. And OBJ hasn't, like, directly responded at all. He had posted some things prior to, like right before this dropped. Talking about God has him covered. He's forever grateful. Pictures of him, his son. I think that that was just like an ironic thing.
Lauren LaRosa
Random observation, though, look really good, Lauren.
Just Hilarious
Thank you.
Lauren LaRosa
Like crazy.
Just Hilarious
I appreciate it.
Lauren LaRosa
Hair and makeup look cool, look good. That's random observation.
Just Hilarious
Thank you. Yeah, Yeah.
Lauren LaRosa
I just wanted to say that real quick.
Just Hilarious
Appreciate that. You know, we work hard to look good.
DJ Envy
You sick, Jess?
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah, no, my. My voice is almost gone.
Just Hilarious
Why are you.
Lauren LaRosa
Because I told her, she.
DJ Envy
Sometimes you're a little blind when you get sick, you can't see things. And that is the latest.
Just Hilarious
Don't worry, I got you out. And when I set up that ride along, they riding right to y'all.
Andrew Schultz
See.
Just Hilarious
Keep playing with me.
Charlamagne Tha God
I've been told you what to do, Lauren.
Just Hilarious
Yeah.
Charlamagne Tha God
Send ice right over there.
Just Hilarious
Don't worry, you know, I got. I'm gonna call the people. Yeah, I'm gonna call them.
DJ Envy
All right. When we come back, we got front page news that don't go anywhere is the Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Charlamagne Tha God
Wake up.
DJ Envy
Wake up.
Charlamagne Tha God
You're locked into the Breakfast Club.
DJ Envy
What's up, everybody? It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. What's up, Morgan?
Morgan Woods
Oh, hey, Envy. How you doing?
Charlamagne Tha God
I'm good.
Lauren LaRosa
All right, cool, cool.
Morgan Woods
Let's see if we could all wake up just a little bit, y'all. Did y'all know that the US Secret Service agent shot a man near the White House over the weekend?
DJ Envy
I heard that. I also heard they got the word. They knew he was coming. Paul.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah, they.
Just Hilarious
Yeah, yeah.
Morgan Woods
Somebody put. Dropped a Dime on them.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah.
Morgan Woods
So the agency spokesperson says the agents confronted a man about a block from the White House, from the West Wing. The man allegedly pulled out a gun before being shot. He was taken to the hospital in unknown condition. Now, the Secret Service was reportedly notified by local police who said the suspect traveled from Indiana and was suicidal. So again, like you said, they already got it. President Trump, he was at Mar A Largo at the time of the shooting. And D.C. police have joined in on the investigation, which is, again, like I said, ongoing. So I'll keep you guys posted as to what comes about with that. Speaking of President Trump, tariffs, tariffs, we love. Tariffs on goods from Mexico and Canada are subject to change. Now, in an interview with FOX News Sunday MORNING Futures, the president was asked if the business community would get clarity regarding his tariff plans. He also spoke about the delay delaying the tariffs to give Mexico and Canada a break. So let's check out those comments from President Trump on fox.
Congressman Al Green
Well, I think so.
DJ Envy
But you know, the tariffs could go.
Congressman Al Green
Up as time goes by and they may go up.
Charlamagne Tha God
For years, the globalists, the big globalists have been ripping off the United States. They've been taking money away from the United States and all we're doing is.
Andrew Schultz
Getting some of it back.
Charlamagne Tha God
I thought it would be a fair thing to do. And so I gave them a little.
Congressman Al Green
Bit, bit of a break for this short period of time.
Morgan Woods
So the short period of time, they've only been delayed till April 2. Okay. He has insisted that he's committed to stopping the US from being ripped off and he will, in fact, be implementing these tariffs on April 2nd. He said he's not going to do it again. You're not going to delay again.
Charlamagne Tha God
So remember when President Trump said he won the election with one word, groceries, and he was going to bring down the price of groceries, why would he ever do anything that would, would make the price of groceries go up?
Morgan Woods
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I can't answer that one. That was, that's, you know, question for Trump for sure. But let's get into some foreign affairs. President Trump's envoy for hostages says Palestinian militant group Hamas is open to a peace deal with Israel where they disarm and give up their political power. Adam Bowler told FOX News Sunday his direct negotiations with Hamas aimed at freeing American, American hostages are showing promise. Let's hear more from Adam Bola.
Charlamagne Tha God
We also discussed what the end might look like. And I will tell you that Hamas did orient toward a long term truce, as they called it. And so what I'm trying to do is say one, how can I get our hostages out as soon as possible? I feel every single day when they're not out, and then how do you create the circumstances to stop this war?
Morgan Woods
So he went on to say that he's keeping Israeli officials informed on the progress of the talks as well in the event that a truce is reached. Boller declined to say what concessions Israel might have to make or whether a ceasefire would lead to the creation of a Palestinian state. Also, I think it's important to note that these hostage, excuse me, negotiations and these ceasefire negotiations are happening during Ramadan. Well, moving on to other foreign affairs, US And Ukrainian officials are planning to hold peace talks in Saudi Arabia this week. President Trump's special envoy, Steve Witkoff addressed the coming discussions while speaking to reporters last week. Let's hear briefly from him.
Andrew Schultz
STEVE witkoff, and I think the idea.
DJ Envy
Is to get down a framework for a peace agreement and an initial ceasefire, cease fire as well.
Morgan Woods
So this comes as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is still attempting to repair relations with the US following that heated exchange with President Trump in the Oval Office. In the fallout of that meeting, Trump halted military assistance to Ukraine and cut off intelligence sharing between the two governments. Zelensky has since gained more support from the the eu, European Union following that meeting. So, yeah, and bringing things home, well, not necessarily home to you guys, at home, to anybody, but listen to this story. Former Vice President Kamala Harris, she's reportedly seriously considering a run for governor of California. That's according to Politico, who cited two sources close to Harris having a knowledge of a conversation with Harris that reported that when she was asked at a pre Oscars party about it, her decision, her answer was basically that she'll make a decision at the end of the summer. So polls have also shown that Harris is leading the field of a possible Democratic presidential election for 2028. What do you guys think?
Charlamagne Tha God
I think the vice president, former Vice President Kamala Harris, can do whatever she wants in the future. Seriously. She's created that kind of lane for herself. So whatever she chooses to do, she can do. If she wants to run for governor of California, she could do that. If she wants to run for president in 2028, she could do that as well. Who's stopping her?
Morgan Woods
Nobody's going to stop her. But I mean, do you think it's, you know, it's, she could do it in a sense that obviously you said she could do it, but I'm just saying, do you think it'll, it'll actually work out for you Think she can win is the question.
Charlamagne Tha God
Oh, I think she could win governor of California for sure. As far as president, I don't, I don't have any faith in any Democrat until they get their messaging together for 2028.
Morgan Woods
Oh, it sounds like we probably going to talk more about that later, though. You guys got Congressman Al Green on the show, right? All right, so I'm gonna wrap things up, and in case you missed it and you didn't and y'all not following me, you know, I was named 2025 Outstanding Young Alumni for Morgan State University. All right, so I'm gonna wrap it up, y'all. That's your front page news. Happy Monday.
Just Hilarious
Let's make it a great week. I'm Morgan Wood.
Morgan Woods

DJ Envy
Thank you, Morgan. And also, I just want to send a rest in peace to Newark police officer Joseph Ascona. He was killed.
Charlamagne Tha God
That's horrible.
DJ Envy
Killed on duty Friday by, they're saying a 14 year old.
Charlamagne Tha God
I saw that, man. Oh, God damn.
DJ Envy
I just want to send a rest in peace to, to that gentleman and condolences to his family. And I think he had five brothers who went to the hospital to, you know, when he did get shot. So I just want to send a rest in peace and salute to all the police officers around the world.
Charlamagne Tha God
Question, was it a targeted hit or was he doing a random stop like what happened? And what the hell, a 14 year old?
DJ Envy
Yeah, they made it seem like, I guess they got a call and they said as soon as the two officers stepped out the car, they were hit with gunfire. Both officers were hit. Joseph was the one that passed away. So they're getting more and more details out there, man. Absolutely. All right, well, that is front page news now. When we come back, Andrew Schultz will be joining us. So don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Charlamagne Tha God
The Breakfast Club.
DJ Envy
Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Jess. Hilarious Charlemagne, the guy. We are the breakfast club. Lauren LaRosa is here and we got a special guest in the building.
Charlamagne Tha God
Hello, Kai Walker.
Andrew Schultz
Hello, everybody.
DJ Envy
Andrew Sells like. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome.
Andrew Schultz
How's it going?
DJ Envy
How you feeling?
Andrew Schultz
I feel good, man.
DJ Envy
I want to talk, man.
Andrew Schultz
You had all of us thinking that that poor girl's family died. The Porsha Williams. I was terrifying. He's looking at this note and then I see her looking at the note and Then I'm like, damn, somebody died. And the only thing I'm thinking is, is she gonna stop the interview? You know what I mean? Like, there's this moment where you're like, does she care so much about fame? She's like, well, they're already dead. They ain't gonna be born.
Charlamagne Tha God
It wasn't a death.
Just Hilarious
She started to get teary eye. And the way she looked at her sister, I thought somebody died too. And I'm like, oh. All I was thinking is, we are getting exclusive.
Charlamagne Tha God
She worse than me. I'm just trying to get a laugh.
DJ Envy
I'm just trying to get a laugh.
Just Hilarious
This is a major exclusive right here.
Charlamagne Tha God
You know, it's funny when Schultz walked in, Schultz looked at that couch and he was like, yo, that's the whole couch Big Dick sat on.
Andrew Schultz
I didn't know he said Big Dick.
Just Hilarious
Legendary.
Andrew Schultz
Now the couch is the. I mean, I remember, remember we were on Brilliant Idiots when we first saw that. And yo. Oh, my God. And I don't. Charlemagne said, Said, why is she calling a lift? She should, you know, she. Yeah, yeah.
Charlamagne Tha God
Why did she call it.
Andrew Schultz
Why did she call a forklift?
Charlamagne Tha God
And she lifted a fork enough and.
Andrew Schultz
Then she came on. It was really funny. Like I was watching the episode and she's quite endearing. She's just like a really, really endearing voice. But when you guys moved the couch up and I walked in, I was like, oh, that's the famous couch. And I didn't know that there are three pieces, so I thought you only one part semicircle out.
DJ Envy
Oh, you know, we pulled the whole thing up.
Andrew Schultz
Yeah, she filled that thing out. There's no way she's making it to a Honda Civic. Like, there's no way she said she.
Just Hilarious
Could get in a PT Cruiser.
Andrew Schultz
Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, maybe. Well, God bless her.
DJ Envy
I wanted to know, you know, with this day and age with comedy.
Charlamagne Tha God
Right. Yeah.
DJ Envy
We recently seen Damon Wayne said he's not going back out on the road because they will cancel you for everything. But you are somebody that don't give a F what you say, what people think. And why is that?
Andrew Schultz
Yeah, I don't know. That's a good. That's a good.
Charlamagne Tha God
I don't know why.
Andrew Schultz
I don't really care. But I think that the days of canceling are done. Like, I think. I think it's changed. I think that kind of like pendulum is swung and I think people kind of have a sense of humor now or they feel like less effective in their ability to cancel.
Charlamagne Tha God
I Think you don't care because you do. What could have been a Hail Mary or it could have been a well coordinated play. It turned out to be a welcome. Which one?
Andrew Schultz
Yeah.
Charlamagne Tha God
Because when Hollywood. There was a period. And I remember this vividly. I remember one time Andrew comes in the studio, and Andrew was saying how his agent told him that Hollywood does not want white straight.
Andrew Schultz
No, they. They tried to gay me.
DJ Envy
White, straight, male. So they wanted you to.
Andrew Schultz
Gave me. They gave you? Yeah, they gave me.
DJ Envy
Tell me every day with me.
Just Hilarious
They wanted you to try dating me or they tried.
Andrew Schultz
No, no, they gave me, and they made my character gay. I remember the guy who. It was his show. He put me in the show. Paul Reiser. Remember Paul Reiser?
Charlamagne Tha God
No.
Andrew Schultz
He. I mean, he was making a million dollars an episode on his show on sitcom back in the day, and we were doing the show. I think it ended up on Hulu. He called me. He's like, listen, man, you know, there's a lot of white people on the show. It took place in the 70s. It was about the Johnny Carson show. He's like, two weeks before he started filming, he's like, hey, man, we got to make your character gay. So I was. He was like, how. I was like, how gay? And he's.
Charlamagne Tha God
He's.
Andrew Schultz
I was like, why do we have to make it gay? He's like, it's just a lot of white people on the shows. We got to find a way to mix it up. They made one guy crippled. That was the most hilarious.
Charlamagne Tha God
That's DEI too, though.
Andrew Schultz
I know, but it was like, they couldn't make us all gay, so, like, one guy got to be crippled. And I was like, why don't you ask?
Charlamagne Tha God
You know, I'd rather be limping around this than.
Andrew Schultz
But you know what I mean?
Charlamagne Tha God
So. And that's funny, though. You get buck and you. The blood.
Andrew Schultz
Both were still so.
Just Hilarious
So cute. We're here, guys.
Charlamagne Tha God
So cute.
DJ Envy
Y'all ask a question.
Andrew Schultz
So. So, yeah, so they made it. It was crazy. Like, I had to change one of the script. It was two. One of the guy. It got too gay.
DJ Envy
They wanted you to kiss somebody.
Andrew Schultz
They want me to get gang? No, like, they.
Charlamagne Tha God
They had.
Andrew Schultz
So they. So they had, like, this one script. I got it on the day. They're like, yeah, it'd be really funny if you were, like, walking into this room, there's three guys behind you. And I was like, man, let me tell you what's not gonna happen.
Charlamagne Tha God
All right?
Andrew Schultz
Y'all taking this di too far. It was. And it was like in the 70s or like 8. It was like 8.
Charlamagne Tha God
You know what I mean?
Andrew Schultz
Like, there was no protection for that. Like, and now we got three different guys following me into a bedroom.
Charlamagne Tha God
So that was in the script.
Andrew Schultz
I was in the script and I was like, I ain't doing that. I was like, I don't think. I think my guy would do that.
DJ Envy
So what did you do?
Andrew Schultz
There's a scene where apparently now like, my hands are on the wall.
Just Hilarious
Okay.
Andrew Schultz
And then like, Johnny Carson show. That was the Johnny Carson show.
DJ Envy
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Andrew Schultz
But nothing. I don't do anything. But the audience is gay for thinking about it. Y'all are gay. Not me. I slap my hands on the wall.
Charlamagne Tha God
But all I was simply saying was they were was a point where Andrew was like, look, I'mma go out on my own terms. You know what I'm saying? So if everybody's going this way, I'm going to make the kind of comedy I want to make. And if it works, it works. If it doesn't, it doesn't. But it ended up working. I did. I did.
Andrew Schultz
My thing was, it's like I saw a lot of people kind of watering down there for what the TV networks were putting on. I got empathy for the people that work at the networks too. Like, you got a kid who's in private school, you want to build a pool at your house or whatever. You're not trying to lose your job because I want to make some crazy joke, so. But it felt watered down and I didn't want to change the comedy. So I was like, where can I put out the comedy? And honestly, like having the pod with Charlemagne, and we're putting out like brilliant idiot stuff and we're saying crazy jokes and like, people really seem to like it. And I was like, I think there's an appetite for this online. I saw your guy's success, like, just seeing your guys show kill it on YouTube, it just kind of reminded me like, people are consuming stuff on YouTube. They're consuming high quality content.
DJ Envy
Long form.
Andrew Schultz
Yo. What if we just started putting stand up out there? And I think knowing that there was this place for it made me feel way more confident. I didn't really care if it was like on a network. I just wanted to do the comedy I want to do.
DJ Envy
And you pissed a lot of people off. You ever got threatened?
Andrew Schultz
Yeah.
DJ Envy
Diddy. I was thinking Diddy, but I was asking, have you got threatened to a point where you was like, I gotta chill out because you go, anybody?
Andrew Schultz
Anyhow, I got I got punched on stage. I used to get beer bottles thrown at me.
Just Hilarious
Yes.
Charlamagne Tha God
Not.
Andrew Schultz
I mean, yeah, I used to box. Like, I wasn't like. But I'm not like some, like, try to fight everybody.
Just Hilarious
Tough guy at all, but, like, box and do Pilates.
Andrew Schultz
Yeah, there you go. That's right.
DJ Envy
Yeah.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah.
Andrew Schultz
If we're organized and we're in a ring, I'll probably you up.
Charlamagne Tha God
If we're on the street and I'm.
Andrew Schultz
Like, I don't really want to go do that, but yeah. Yeah. I used to go through. Through that kind of stuff all the time, but I just wasn't really funny enough back then. That's the way, you know, like, you have the ideas, you just don't got the skills to execute it. It's not silly enough enough yet. And then eventually I think you could develop the skills and then you could say even wilder jokes, but in a way where people find it kind of funny.
Just Hilarious
You talked about the censorship era being good for comedy because it set, like, certain boundaries. Like what? Not.
Andrew Schultz
Yeah. To be naughty.
Just Hilarious
Yeah, but. But so having those boundaries and then you saying, you look back at your old tape, you weren't as funny, so you had to develop. So you have, like, there's a whole system behind you of like. Like you sit and watch your highlight tapes and you use all of that.
Andrew Schultz
Yeah. I also think censorship, like, in a weird way, I. I don't believe in censored, but the fact that it exists makes you have to be sharper. We're in the era of you could say anything right now, and commie will probably get a little bit more, like, absurdist and irreverent because you could say anything. So there's nothing that's, like, too edgy. Does that make sense?
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah.
Andrew Schultz
So now comedy usually gets, like, a little, like, weird and out there, you know, like, remember. Remember Zach Galifianakis? Remember him?
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Just Hilarious
I used to love him.
Andrew Schultz
Yeah. No, Zach's great. That type of comedy where it's not like, here's a political take, but it's more like he's a character and it's a little weird. That type of comedy gets popular when you could say anything. And then when censorship comes back, usually the guy's like a Chris Rock. I mean, just these, like, historic figures.
Charlamagne Tha God
But that's why I think well crafted just. That's why the Life special is actually special, because well crafted jokes have to make a comeback now because we live in a world where everybody just says, any old wild. Yeah, but what's the what's the joke? How are you packaging?
Andrew Schultz
I agree.
Charlamagne Tha God
You know, I mean.
DJ Envy
Yes.
Andrew Schultz
Yeah. And people will give you that liberty, like, if. If it's good, if the joke is good, they'll let you rock with it. Even if they don't like the topic or even the opinion.
Charlamagne Tha God
They.
Andrew Schultz
You know, they're. They're like, okay, I know what you're trying to say. Also, the life one is just, like, so personal, and it's so vulnerable. I think I get a little leeway with the other.
DJ Envy
All right, we got more with Andrew Schultz when we come back. His special Life is on Netflix. Right now, it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the breakfast. Lauren is here as well. We're kicking in with Andrew Schultz. His new comedy special Life is out right now. Now, Lauren, you watched it, right?
Just Hilarious
I had to watch it twice. I'm not even gonna hold you. No, I'm not gonna, like, celebrate it, but. Okay, so the first time I watched it, maybe because it was so personal, Like, I was like, okay, where's the F. Like, I wasn't laughing at everything. Oh, really?
Andrew Schultz
Okay.
Just Hilarious
Yeah. But it was because I was trying to follow the story, and I'm like, wait, like, low key.
Charlamagne Tha God
You.
Just Hilarious
Like, that was. That had to be tough for you.
Andrew Schultz
Yeah.
Just Hilarious
And then I went back again and I watched it, and it was funny, and I was like, oh, okay. But I'm like, I don't know why I had. I've never had to do that. I brought that up because I'm wondering, like, is there. Is that on purpose?
Andrew Schultz
Well, there's a. There's an interesting thing that, like, so the beginning of the special, I say we had the baby specifically for that reason, is that I felt like the audience would be too concerned and distraught. So if you paid attention to the beginning, you might have felt better.
Just Hilarious
Well, I did hear that in the beginning, and I watched you and Brilliant idiots. I know you had the baby, but I think it just. It felt so heavy because you don't necessarily hear it. Men. And you talked about this in a special, talking about, okay, we couldn't have the baby because it was my fault.
Andrew Schultz
Yeah.
Just Hilarious
Like, you know what I mean? Like, and I'm like, he's laughing and joking. But, like, as a man, that probably. It probably still strokes your ego a little bit when you talk about it.
Andrew Schultz
Honestly. No, like, it's. It's weird.
Charlamagne Tha God
It.
Andrew Schultz
At first I dealt with it. Right? Like, so my sperm. My sperm doesn't swim that's like the issue that I talk in there.
Just Hilarious
I heard the joke that Taylor dropped too.
Andrew Schultz
What? Yo, Taylor killed me. She said, yeah, because we. I beat her in a rage. And then I was saying something to her, she was like, yeah, I run faster than your sperm. Yeah, it was bad.
Just Hilarious
I remember that.
Charlamagne Tha God
And nobody knew it. We knew at the time what he was dealing with.
Andrew Schultz
The people online didn't know.
Just Hilarious
Yeah, Yes, I remember that too. But go ahead.
DJ Envy
So it was like, that's a tough room over there.
Charlamagne Tha God
Oh, no.
Congressman Al Green
It was brutal.
Andrew Schultz
But the joke was fantastic. Like, you got to keep it in. So. Yeah. So it's like when. When I thought it was my wife's fault, which is what every guy thinks that's going through. Fertility is I felt uncomfortable talking about on stage because that's like her very deep personal business. And a lot of women feel incredibly insecure.
Charlamagne Tha God
Right.
Andrew Schultz
About that. Right. Makes them feel less of a woman, et cetera.
Just Hilarious
Right.
Andrew Schultz
Once I found out it was my fault, immediately after that, I actually want to like beat the system. I was like, no, I think I could do it anyway. Like, I got like really competitive. And then every time that we would try my and it didn't work, my wife would like cry. And I felt like it was really selfish if we just didn't go through this other process. Second we went with the other process. I felt really comfortable talking about it on stage. Like actually once I found out was me, I felt comfortable talking about stage because it wasn't like my wife's issue and I'm like exposing her like deep, dark secret.
Just Hilarious
Right.
Andrew Schultz
And when I started talking down on stage, man, the amount of people that would like come up to me and send me these DMs, like these beautiful things about like what they're going through and ivf. IVF and eventually having kids. When you talk to IVF couples, you are talking to the people that face the reality they might never bring life into this world. And then by the grace of God, were able to see this thing that they've cherished and maybe we're trying to make for years. So you have the most gratitude for your child.
DJ Envy
It's a tight knit community. Like most people don't necessarily realize. Like, you know, I got six kids, so the first four bang them out.
Andrew Schultz
God damn.
DJ Envy
We were trying to have the fifth one.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah.
DJ Envy
And we couldn't get pregnant, so we tried ivf.
Andrew Schultz
Oh, really?
DJ Envy
Yeah, we tried ivf. Paid for it because insurance didn't cover it.
Andrew Schultz
It was expensive.
DJ Envy
Expensive as a mother effort.
Andrew Schultz
Yeah.
DJ Envy
To the Point where when we had the powerhouse concerts appear, I would have to give my wife the shot. Because you have to give her a shot at a certain time.
Andrew Schultz
You got to make it. It's like a cocktail.
DJ Envy
Yes.
Andrew Schultz
Like at home, they're giving you syringes.
DJ Envy
So in the middle of the concert, I'm in the back doing the shot, this, that, and the other, and it still didn't work. So we was like, effort. We took it as well. Maybe God said four is enough.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, but at least you had four. Imagine the ones that have zero.
Andrew Schultz
But it happened.
DJ Envy
It happened naturally, which was the craziest thing ever.
Andrew Schultz
Sometimes it's the stress. Like, I know it's the most. It's the dumbest thing. And you guys probably. I mean, you know about this just because all the mental health stuff you do, but, like, the way that your brain can play tricks on your body that you got, you put so much pressure on, like, having a kid, and your body reacts negatively like that. Like, there's a lot of people who try ivf. It works. And then the next kid they have naturally, and it's just your body goes, all right, it's kid time. Like, now you're not so stressed. You got one, and that might be it. You guys went, all right, you know, if we're supposed to have four, that's what we're supposed to have said.
DJ Envy
No more. Forget it.
Andrew Schultz
And then you stop trying. And immediately, immediately, bang.
DJ Envy
I'm glad you spoke about it, because so many people dealing with it, like we talked about in the book, that when you do it, so many people hit you, you'll be surprised and shocked.
Andrew Schultz
It's the last taboo thing. And people are feel so insecure about it because you don't want your partner to be embarrassed. So, like, I'm telling you, it was easier that it was me if it was my wife's ovaries. I don't think I'd ever talk about it.
Congressman Al Green
Right.
Andrew Schultz
Because it could be humiliating for women, for dudes. Yes, humiliating for me. But, like, as a comedian, I think I'm a little, like, I find the joy in that humiliation funny in anything. Yeah.
DJ Envy
It's just.
Andrew Schultz
It's easy for me to deal with. But I'll tell you, after. After talking about and seeing all the other people going through it, it's like, yeah, that's why, honestly, when we had Trump on, there was, like, three things that I wanted to ask him, and one of them, I wanted him to say publicly that he would. He would protect ivf.
DJ Envy
So let's Talk about that. How did you meet Trump? How did y'all get to, like, how are y'all together?
Andrew Schultz
They reached out and they were like, do you want to have him on? And we're like, yeah, we want to do in the studio. And then they were like, ah, we can't do it. And the studio, like, you know, Sean knows. It's like, it's a. You guaranteed assassination. It's like windows everywhere. It's like, I don't even know why we were trying. Like, you walk right out the elevator. It's windows everywhere. But. But right. Like, you know, I hope that doesn't happen, but, you know, but we were really pushing for that. And then. And then when we did the pod. Yeah. I, like, spoke to his kid for a while before, and I spoke to Dana White.
Charlamagne Tha God
Which one?
Andrew Schultz
Junior.
Charlamagne Tha God
Okay.
Andrew Schultz
And I was like, yeah, just tell me some stories. And, like, I just kind of wanted to.
Just Hilarious
The party. You talked about the party?
Andrew Schultz
Oh, yeah. So he told me about that one. He told me.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah. Yeah.
Andrew Schultz
There's a part I didn't say on the interview, but. Because I said he just went up to the roof and kicked everybody out. But, like, what Junior told me is he was in his underwear. So, like, just imagine. And imagine.
Just Hilarious
For the people who haven't seen the interview, Schultz in the group, they talk about Donald Trump Jr. Had, like, a huge party. Yeah. And then they had to throw everybody out because Trump found out about the party.
Andrew Schultz
Well, yeah. He wasn't supposed to be back.
Just Hilarious
Yeah, he was supposed to be back. It was kind of like something on, like, a movie. My dad comes home, but he, like, never mentions it.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah.
Just Hilarious
So Trump Jr. Is like, almost like it didn't happen.
Andrew Schultz
Exactly.
Just Hilarious
He was in his underwear. So that party got real crazy.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah.
Andrew Schultz
That was the first time he addressed it in, like, 40 years or something like that. He never addressed it with his kid.
Charlamagne Tha God
You know, there's a guy in this room, a young black male, who said he watched Trump on flagrant. He goes, yo, that flagrant interview is going to get Trump elected.
Andrew Schultz
That guy that you're talking about, he's been maggot for a while. He was waiting for that moment.
Just Hilarious
I felt the same way. That was the first time I looked at him as, like, a person. I was like, why am I like. I was like, oh, my God, he's a granddad. He cares about his kids. Like, ugh. But it was like, y'all made him. He was having a good time.
Charlamagne Tha God
It's chosen fault, basically.
Andrew Schultz
Yeah, it's my fault. It's your fault.
DJ Envy
That and the commercial where another young black guy in. In this room did a commercial that Trump used and played over.
Andrew Schultz
I met the guy who made that.
DJ Envy
Commercial over and over again.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah. What do you say?
Andrew Schultz
Yeah. He was like, hey, thanks. Charlemagne really helped us out with that one. I mean, that commercial was unbelievable. Very crazy that the election was decided in this room right now. We only get enough credit.
Just Hilarious
But do you get that response from people, though, like, yo, y'all humanized somebody that, like, we low key. Even. Even when he got shot, I felt like people were like, oh, we don't want that to happen.
Andrew Schultz
But so what I'd say to people, and I have, like, a way more humble take than I think most. Like, I don't think that we had any impact on the election. I don't think any of the podcasts, like, I think that America. I think what America had decided is a lot of America weren't voting for before Trump. They were rejecting the current administration. They just didn't like what was happening. And I think the way that the current administration was campaigning, they're basically kind of saying, hey, everything's good. We're going to kind of keep doing this. I think a lot of Americans were like, I don't really feel like it's good, so I'm going to go for anything but this. But I think the idea of Trump is always, he's a populist. So if you vote for him, it means you love him and you're obsessed with him and you're mag until you die, where I think a lot of it is really just rejection, in the same way that when people voted for Biden, they really vote for Biden. They voted against the chaos of Trump.
DJ Envy
All right, we got more with Andrew Schultz when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. Is EJ Envy just hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Lauren Laros is here with us as well. We're still kicking in with Andrew Schultz. Now, what do you think about everything Trump is doing now?
Andrew Schultz
Well, what specifically?
DJ Envy
There's a whole lot. I mean, there's so many orders between.
Just Hilarious
Oh, I love that.

Jess Hilarious
Do you remember what you said the first night I came over here?
DJ Envy
Ow. Go slower.
Jess Hilarious
From Blumhouse TV, iHeart podcasts and Ember 20 comes an all new fictional comedy podcast series. Join the flighty Damien Hirst as he unravels the mystery of his vanished boyfriend and Santi was gone. I've been spending all my time looking for answers about what happened to Santi and what's the Way to find a missing person. Sleep with everyone he knew, obviously. Hmm. Pillow talk. The most unwelcome window into the human psyche. Follow our out of his element hero as he engages in a series of ill conceived investigative hookups. Mama always used to say God gave me gumption in place of a gag reflex. And as I was about to learn, no amount of showering can wash your hands of a bad hookup.
Charlamagne Tha God
Now take a big whiff, my bruh.
Jess Hilarious
Listen to the hookup on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to your favorite shows.
Just Hilarious
Joe Rogan, right?
Andrew Schultz
I think it was Megyn Kelly.
Just Hilarious
Okay.
Andrew Schultz
But yeah, I love the. Yeah, the Gulf of America. I mean, it's is North America, Central America, South America, why we call it the Gulf of Mexico. It should feel like the Gulf of America. It's not the Gulf of North America. It's just the Gulf of America. But again, what I like is just like, I like saying audacious. I'm an American. Like Americans in general, like in our DNA, we're like, we like risk takers and we like people who are brave. And I think that's like the tricky thing for Democrats right now. And keep in mind, I'm like a lifelong Democrat. I grew up in a, an arts family. Both my parents were dance teachers. Like, I live in New York City my whole life. So what I need is some energy on the Democratic side. We talk about this all the time. Is I need some like talk. I need some bodacious talk. And I think the thing that really Americans care about right now is that things are expensive. And I think Democrats need their build the wall and whatever that is. It has to tap into what people are struggling with right now. So if it's.
Charlamagne Tha God
They first have to build the team. Team.
Andrew Schultz
Well, exactly. But yo, it could just be one outsider. Like, like, I think it's dollar eggs. Like eggs are a dollar. I think you just start saying like that it doesn't matter if you don't know how to do it, but you start saying something that's going to resonate with people and that's the only way. And I think that if they make it a class issue, they win this election pretty easily come the next election. But they're afraid to do that because a lot of them are in the pockets of the billionaire class and the corporations. So they make it about identity politics. They. It's all these people that go to like Harvard and Yale that like pretend to give a. About you guys. They don't actually give a f CK about you guys, but they get patted on the back for pretending to do it. And now they're in this situation where the rest of America is like, I can't afford eggs, so I can't really care about the bathroom. Like, I don't give about who goes in the bathroom because I need to buy eggs until I could buy eggs. I don't worry about the bathroom. So you got to start addressing people where their problems are.
Charlamagne Tha God
You like Jasmine Crockett, though.
Andrew Schultz
I love that girl.
Charlamagne Tha God
Right?
Andrew Schultz
Like, that's the type of language that I want to start. I want to. I want people to start using. Like when she said, you're Putin's hoe, I don't agree with that sentiment.
Just Hilarious
My favorite sound bite from her that night.
Andrew Schultz
But I like that. I like the energy. Because what people like about Trump, despite him being, like, a billionaire who got money from his dad. Right. He doesn't talk like them. He talks like, me and you. The Indian journalist is asking him a question. Dibble, dabble, dibble, dabble. And then all of a sudden, dibble, dabble, dibble, dabble. And then he goes, I don't know what the hell that guy just said. That to me is the most relatable thing I've ever seen in my entire life. I. I go, yeah, that's what I would have said.
Charlamagne Tha God
That's what he would have said.
Andrew Schultz
That's what you would have said if we were just hanging around in the corner talking.
DJ Envy
I want to ask, too, because you talk about walking the line.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah.
DJ Envy
You walk a dope line because you have white fan base and black fan base.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah.
DJ Envy
Is that difficult for you? Your jokes go everywhere with it.
Andrew Schultz
I got the most diverse audience in comedy. It's not even close. Like, it's just, like, you come to my show, it looks like the U.N. so it's like, in my experience, in my life, I'm a pretty curious guy. So, like, if I find out something about your culture, where you're from, whatever, I like talking about it, and I'm gonna make jokes about just because that's my way of communicating the world. What I found is, is, like, when you make fun of people based on things that they're proud of or they haven't realized about themselves, they don't feel offended. They feel kind of seen. They feel noticed, and they appreciate it. So all these different groups would start coming out to shows, you know, and I was like, oh, this is really cool. And when you ever. Whenever it comes out to the show, we all kind of submit to this Idea, like, everybody's gonna be made fun of. We are gonna laugh at each other. We're gonna laugh at ourselves. And it's a cool little beautiful thing. So to me, it's never been like. Like, black people found out about me before white people. Like, I'm doing brilliant AIDS with him. Like, Guy Code. To be honest, black people were on way before white people. I mean, eventually, towards the end seasons of Guy Code, I think it, like, just crossed over. But early on, MTV2 was more like hip hop related.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Andrew Schultz
And then I think it was the Rogan Rogan. I think white people started to find me. And then, like, you know, Indians found me. Obviously, I do the pot with Akash. But also some standard clips that would go viral out there. Albanians would be seeing me from some clip, and like, all these different groups would come out. Yeah, it's my favorite thing of looking out in the audience. But I used to go to comedy clubs when I was on tour, and the. The owners would be like. Because it'd be all black people for the weekend. They would think I was like, Gary Owen or something like that. They were like, what the is going on?
Charlamagne Tha God
Gary never called you. Like, man, what's the secret, man?
Andrew Schultz
How do you get white people? I got black people, dad. How do I get white people?
DJ Envy
Yeah, I. I do also want to ask, do you still want to make love to Kendrick Lamar?
Andrew Schultz
I mean, like, honestly, it's hard to say no to that.
DJ Envy
You find him attractive?
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, man.
Just Hilarious
Did you see him in them Celine jeans? Them jeans?
Andrew Schultz
When I saw those jeans, I was.
Charlamagne Tha God
Like, boom bop bing bop, boom bop bow. You gotta stop, stop. Put it out. Stop. Why didn't you even ask him that?
DJ Envy
Stop. They were really upset about it. I know it was a joke, but why do you think people got so upset?
Andrew Schultz
Racism so fast. I'm just saying he's little. Like, I hate having to explain jokes.
Charlamagne Tha God
He's itty bitty.
Andrew Schultz
So why is he telling. He's going to kill my friends. The biggest thing about this whole. That nobody. I didn't even care that he said about, like, me not saying jokes like that. To me is like a million people who said not say jokes. The next line where he goes and to the N words that Kuhn and the N words being groomed slide on both of them.
Charlamagne Tha God
Them.
Andrew Schultz
What does slide mean to y'all?
Just Hilarious
Take you out. But that's because, I mean, hold on.
Andrew Schultz
Ain't no explaining here.
Just Hilarious
You an enemy.
Andrew Schultz
You say, kill my friends. Everything after that is fine. You took it there. If you say, kill my friends. Because a lot of people thought that was Charlemagne and Alex Media. So if you go the next line, you tell your fans to kill my friends. You getting made love to.
Charlamagne Tha God
Listen, I appreciate my friend trying to stick up for me, but I don't think he was talking about us. I don't think it's about.
Andrew Schultz
But how are we supposed to know.
Charlamagne Tha God
How we know he wasn't talking about Gary? Oh, bonus.
Just Hilarious
That's a good point.
Charlamagne Tha God
We don't know.
Just Hilarious
I'm not about to. Gary was the first moment we knew exactly what he was talking about, because I heard and I knew exactly what he was.
Andrew Schultz
I didn't think it was. I didn't think it was me. I was like, why are you talking about me?
Just Hilarious
Because of the giggles and all the laughs.
Andrew Schultz
Yeah, maybe you talk about math. Saying he was talking about me. And I was like, wait, if he's talking about me and is he telling people to kill my friends? Well, I got to do something about this.
Charlamagne Tha God
I got to do something.
Andrew Schultz
I got to do something.
Charlamagne Tha God
Like, I'm not a tough guy.
Andrew Schultz
You know, I'm a certified lover boy.
Charlamagne Tha God
And salute to Kendrick, because Kendrick does what he wants to do, and he gets rewarded for it. Like, you can do that.
Andrew Schultz
This whole thing got blown out of purport. Like, honestly, I think he's, like, obviously a prolific rapper, and I have a lot of respect for anybody that puts something out for judgment. I think there are a lot of people who, like, they just make reaction content.
Just Hilarious
Right.
Andrew Schultz
So they don't really know what it's like to, like, create a piece of art and put it out there in the world and let the world judge it.
Just Hilarious
They have to deal with it.
Andrew Schultz
That takes balls. And I admire people that have balls.
DJ Envy
Balls.
Charlamagne Tha God
So how do you feel about Trump's trans executive orders?
Andrew Schultz
What'd he do?
Charlamagne Tha God
His executive orders. He got rid of trans.
Andrew Schultz
He got rid of trans what?
Charlamagne Tha God
Women.
Andrew Schultz
They not around anymore.
Charlamagne Tha God
Man and woman.
Andrew Schultz
But that is how it is, though. Isn't that how it is?
Just Hilarious
Every day the sun will shine, but the sun still come up.
Andrew Schultz
Well, here's the thing. I think there are trans people.
DJ Envy
No, there are. But, yeah, Trump doesn't recognize him.
Andrew Schultz
Yeah, but that. He's allowed to. Like, you can't force me to recognize.
Charlamagne Tha God
He's allowed to not believe. But that don't mean that it's not true.
Andrew Schultz
I was watching Squid Game. If they didn't have the numbers, I don't know if I'm recognizing what. You know what I mean? Like, if they didn't number them. I don't know if I'm recognizing everyone.
Charlamagne Tha God
What they come to do with Trey.
Just Hilarious
Wait, I don't know really.
Andrew Schultz
I don't really know what I'm saying right now. Listen, let me apologize before an Asian rapper comes from me. Jen, I'm sorry.
Charlamagne Tha God
Jen. Jen, I apologize. Jen hits me up all the time.
Just Hilarious
I get what you mean by the numbers now.
Charlamagne Tha God
Oh, God, no. Ever watch comedy?
Andrew Schultz
Took her two watches.
Charlamagne Tha God
The life is outright right now.
DJ Envy
Right now. It's Andrew Schultz. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to the latest with Lauren.
Lauren LaRosa
Lauren becoming a straight face.
DJ Envy
She gets to be somebody that knows somebody.
Just Hilarious
I'm the home girl that knows a little bit about everything.
Charlamagne Tha God
She be having the latest on here. The latest with Lauren La Rosa. Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details. Sometimes you have a little bit of everything. Well, it's the latest on the Breakfast Club.
Lauren LaRosa
Man, hold up, hold up. I like that intro.
Just Hilarious
I know Taylor did her thing. Running it up. All right, real quick, before we get into the next story, I want to go back to the druski. Odell Beckham Jr. Being accused of sexual assault with Diddy. Odell Beckham Jr. Did respond to Drew Ski's tweet. So I wanted to make sure that we got this in. And Drew Ski's tweet that I'm referring to is the statement from Drew Ski that we read in the last hour. And Odell said he's talking to Drew Ski. He said, boy, I'll tell you what, this world makes absolutely no sense. I am covered by God. He will prevail. I know who I am. I know who you are talking to Drew Ski. Keep your head. That name will be cleared. And then he called the whole thing stupid. So I did want to make sure that we mentioned that because I said that he hadn't directly responded. And that was an update on that. All right, so moving on, some confrontation we had talked about Stephen A. And LeBron running down on Stephen A. Smith sideline at the game. Well, Stephen A. Went on first take and the Stephen A. Smith show to talk about what actually happened. Now, first, let's take a listen to what LeBron actually said to Stephen A. Smith, because people were trying to figure that out for.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah, I even seen a couple voiceovers.
Just Hilarious
Yeah, let's take a listen to Stephen a. Saying what LeBron actually said to him.
Charlamagne Tha God
I was sitting courtside, and the next thing you know, out of the blue. LeBron came in my face. He approached me during the game, and he said, stop effing with my son. That's my effing son. Stop effing with my son. I said, what? Nah, nah, nah, man. Straight up, man to man, real talk. Stop effing with my son. And I saw how furious he was, and I said, we talked about late. Nah, F that. F that. Stop effing with my son. That's my son. That's my son. I said, I dog fine. And he walked away.
Just Hilarious
Yeah. So just to clear up what we thought was said, I mean, it's to the effect of what people kind of thought, but those were the exact words. Now, Stephen A then went on to talk about just the whole confrontation in general, and, you know, how it unfolded. And I will say, when I watched this from Stephen A, I was like, I was a little disappointed in Stephen A. And we'll get into it. Let's take a listen to the confrontation conversation.
Charlamagne Tha God
That wasn't a basketball player confronting me. That was a parent. That was a father. I can't sit here and be angry or feel slighted by LeBron James in any way in that regard. By all accounts, he's obviously a wonderful family man and a wonderful father who cares very, very deeply about his son. For the record, his agent and friend Rich Paul has my number. LeBron James knows how to get in contact with me if he wanted to. He never called, because had he called and wanted to talk to me, I would have accepted that call. But if we had had that conversation, I would have said to LeBron James, I never would speak negatively about your son. I was talking about you. I have nothing but the best wishes for Bronny James. I wish him nothing but the best. I hope that he flourishes into an NBA star. I don't know anybody who roots against him, and it certainly isn't me.
Just Hilarious
Now, there's one more that I want to play, and I want to get y'all thoughts on this. So then he talked about, like, the gist of it, like, right. Like people saying, yo, Stephen A. You be coming at Bronnie like crazy. He talks about why he actually talks about Bronnie. Let's take a listen to that.
Charlamagne Tha God
The time that we were talking about him, he was percolating to such a degree that the Bronnie James stories had gone viral. And when I said the things that I said, I wasn't talking about Bronny James, because my attitude is he's a rookie. It's going to take Some time for him to get himself together. He'll be just fine, especially with JJ Redick in the staff coaching him. I was talking about the position that he was put in by his dad. There was a quote that he. That he gave in February of 2024. The work and results will ultimately do talking, no matter what the size of y'all don't know. He doesn't care what mock drafts say. He just works, earned, not given, etc. Etc. But he also had said his son could play on the Lakers right now, and he was better than half the dudes in the NBA. He instructed everybody before the draft that y'all want me draft Bronnie. Wherever Bronny is at, that's where I'll be. My point was that because of who you are, one of the top two players in the history of basketball, there's an immense amount of pressure that comes with that.
Just Hilarious
How y'all feel about all that? How y'all feel about Stephen A's response to what happened?
Lauren LaRosa
I thought his response was solid, going back to. Because I wasn't here when y'all originally talked about it. But I don't think there was nothing wrong with what LeBron did. I think it's a difference between doing commentary and then just street coming at somebody. You know, how Stephen A talk his delivery. He's never subtle about anything. Like, he's very opinionated. And sometimes it definitely can come off as disrespectful, you know? And I felt like LeBron had a dad moment, like he said. Like, he came to me as a father, like, not even a basketball player. Stop playing with my son. Now, I know that LeBron is not exempt from commentary or, you know, yeah, he ain't his father. He's not the most skilled player right now, but. But don't play with my son.
DJ Envy
I don't think anybody's exempt from critique. And I think he critiquing. I think the whole world has been critiquing Bronny. I think, you know, they put a lot of pressure on Bronny because he signed to the Lakers. He went straight to the league. Yes, he deserves that critique. And for every action, it is a reaction. I have no problem with what Stephen A. Smith said. I have no problem what the world say. But I also have no problem as a dad. LeBron saying something as well. Because if somebody talks about my son, we know you.
Just Hilarious
I'm going back.
DJ Envy
But same thing with John Moran. John Moran's dad. John Moran's dad is very critical about people that Talk to his dad, and he can. That's his son. At of the day. I'm. I'm cool with both sides.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah. As I said Friday, I understand both angles. Stephen A got a job to do as a media personality, and LeBron got a job to do as a father. Like. And. And Stephen A. Did say he wanted LeBron to stop as a father, so LeBron approached him as a father. I don't. I don't see the issue with either side.
Just Hilarious
I agree with the father conversation. I agree with. Look, you say something, you. You can't respond to how. I mean, you don't know how LeBron's gonna act. And I. I love the fact that LeBron did it in person, because he could have called Stephen and he could have. Whatever. You gonna have to see me. I'm down with all that. The only thing I didn't like was I felt like Stephen A. Was like, back skating away from having an opinion about a player, which is your job. And I thought that, to me, that's not this. That's not what I look to hear from Stephen A. Smith. He doesn't have to be disrespectful. He can say, I. I respect what you're saying as a father, but I do think you saying, oh, I was only talking about Bronnie because of what LeBron said. No, you're talking about him. Yeah, because he's that type NBA player. So that's how you feel. Stand on that. And then also being.
Charlamagne Tha God
I do think that when you listen to Stephen A's critique, his critique was mostly aimed at LeBron, which is why LeBron got pissed off, because he literally said, as a father, I'm begging you to stop this. And it's like, what did Bron do other than get his son drafted? Regardless of what happens after his son gets in the league, LeBron pushed to get his son drafted, as Stephen A. Just explained. So a lot of his critique was for Bron. But what's wrong with that? What's wrong with using who you are to get your son a job?
DJ Envy
Nothing. But now. Now, the only other thing. What I would do as a father, I would make sure my son is the best. So when he starts kicking ass, I'm gonna come back and say what you gotta say. Now, Stephen A. Smith, I would prove it with actions. Prove it with scoring 20, scoring 30, being able to guard the toughest people in the league, and then give him the middle finger.
Charlamagne Tha God
So I didn't say, well, that's gonna take time.
DJ Envy
Yeah, it's gonna Take time.
Just Hilarious
And I just feel like Stephen A. Could have even said that. But to be like, you know what? I'm sorry. I'm gonna leave him alone.
DJ Envy
He didn't say sorry.
Just Hilarious
It was the fact that he said he was sad by the response of, like.
Charlamagne Tha God
Like, a lot of times you get in front of these microphones and you say things, and then, you know, you might regret it later. You know, somebody might approach you. There might be backlash. If that's how he feels and he wants to do that, there's nothing wrong with that.
Just Hilarious
I just don't see. I don't think that there was anything wrong with what he said. Like, okay, I felt like Stephen A. Just had a job and he was doing it.
DJ Envy
Like, I don't see nothing wrong either, but I don't see nothing wrong with what LeBron did either. It's a son.
Lauren LaRosa
No, I get what you're saying. Like, the same thing. Like, that people used to get mad at Wendy, like, for doing her job.
Just Hilarious
Yeah. I mean, but sort of like that. Love Wendy to death. That's my girl.
Lauren LaRosa
I'm talking about. Oh, oh, oh, Wendy. I'm talking about Wendy. Wendy, like, on the show. Like, if people get mad at her about saying anything, it's like, no, she is doing her job.
Just Hilarious
Yeah. But she.
Charlamagne Tha God
She.
Just Hilarious
You know, Wendy get a little crazy. She used to put up the chart to the baby moms and stuff like that. You know, Stephen A's was a little bit more. Not as salacious, but, yeah, definitely wasn't installation. Yeah.
DJ Envy
All right, well, that is the latest with Lauren Charlamagne. You want to apologize for. For calling me Dominican all the time when I'm not.
Charlamagne Tha God
No, I'm. You should thank me for, you know, allowing you the opportunity to big up your heritage, which you never do, which is crazy to me.
DJ Envy
Who are you giving your donkey to, man?
Charlamagne Tha God
Four after the hour. We need a young lady from Maryland to come to the front of the congregation. Now. We're gonna do Breakfast Club Court, okay? Her name is Jayla Cunningham. I'm sure you might have seen the video where she dragged this person across her hair salon floor because the person allegedly was running out on her. I want to take this to Breakfast Club Court, but I'm gonna tell y'all the story. Four after the hour. So I'm gonna let y'all decide whether or not she should get donkey here today.
DJ Envy
All right, we'll get to that. Next. Don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Charlamagne Tha God
You're checking out the Breakfast Club.
DJ Envy
Don't be out here acting like a donkey.
Congressman Al Green
It's time for donkey of the day.
Charlamagne Tha God
I'm a big boy. I could take it if he feel I deserve it. Ain't no big deal. I know Charlemagne guy gonna have some funny sweet say out his mouth. Gotta say something you may not agree with. Doesn't mean I'm mean.
DJ Envy
Who's getting that donkey?
Charlamagne Tha God
That donkey that don't, don't, don't, don't, don't. Donkey of the deck right there. Breakfast Club.
Andrew Schultz
You can call me the donkey of the day. But like I mean no harm.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yes, Donkey of the day for Monday, March 10 possibly could go to a young lady named Jayla Cunningham. Now we're going to take this one to Breakfast Club court. I am going to have to let you, the jury decide if Jayla is going to be receiving donkey of the day because Jayla is an 18 year old hair stylist who is facing a second degree assault charge after dragging her 50 a 15 year old client across the floor of her of her hair salon. Okay. Now Jayla claims the 15 year old client tried to leave without paying for 150 service. But the young lady's mother said she accidentally sent the money owed to the wrong account. Just a bunch of mess. Let's go to Fox 5 DC for the report please. In the video that has more than 54 million views, you can see 18 year old Jayla Cunningham dragging her 15 year old client client by the hooded sweatshirt saying Jayla claims the 15 year old was trying to leave without paying for the 150 service that included a weave with tracks. Jayla cutting the weave out of the teen's hair with scissors because she says the teen did not pay for the service.
Just Hilarious
She ran. Forget trash, she ran without paying me.
Charlamagne Tha God
And then what did you do?
Just Hilarious
I dragged her by her hood back into the salon until I can get paid or you know, until the police come or until, you know, she let me take out the service. And I feel like if I didn't do that, she would have been gone and I would have just never been paid.
Charlamagne Tha God
But the 15 year old's mother says Jayla also dragged her by her hair when she grabbed her hood and says that her daughter accidentally sent the money to the wrong cash app and was trying to pay Jayla.
Morgan Woods
It's just absolutely absurd and how she's.
Charlamagne Tha God
Dealing emotionally with this.
Lauren LaRosa
Emotionally, not good.
Charlamagne Tha God
Not good at all. Now, when I first saw this video, I had a few thoughts. One of my first thoughts was well, maybe she asked for layers and I Guess the hairdresser thought that included the layer of linoleum on the floor. My second thought to myself was, who is this woman that don't got no squabbles that she let Jayla Cunningham drag her by the hair across the floor like that? But. But all I did was see the video. I wasn't aware of the ages 18 and 15, so that gave me more context. That's why she was able to manhandle that individual. That was a little girl. Then I thought to myself, I understand the frustration. You a business owner, you're an entrepreneur. You might have had a few people do this to you before, so you fed up. But the one main thought I had was, you can't handle a situation like that. You can't handle a situation with this type of violence. Because. Because truthfully, I'm shocked she's not charged with kidnapping. If you force somebody somewhere and hold them against their will, that's kidnapping. So, Jayla, I understand you young, okay? But as an 18 year old boss, CEO of your own company, business owner, you absolutely, positively cannot conduct yourself like this. Okay? See, you had this woman's information already. You knew who she was. And I'm assuming you knew her age. Just go tell her mama and tell her mama, if you don't get paid, you're going to press charges. But what makes this even crazier is clearly this was all one big misunderstanding. Because you heard what the mama said. The mother said the young lady just sent the money to the wrong cash app. Now, I don't know if that's true or not, but it sounds believable. I just don't know why jailer didn't take the time to even hear the young lady out. You can't go from zero to daredevil in 0.6 seconds. I mean, this type of vigilante justice only works in TV shows and movies. Movies? Batman wouldn't even do. No. No criminal in Gotham like you did. This young lady, dragging her across the floor like a body at a crime scene. You ever heard somebody say, I'll mop the floor with your ass? Jayla literally looked like she was mopping the floor with this young girl. Okay, this is not what this young lady thought she would receive. Jayla, when you told her to come get snatched. Okay, this is why you don't react off emotion. You don't make decisions or take any action based off how you feel in the moment. You should take a breath and consider the situation calmly and rationally before responding. I understand the emotional response. The Emotional response that someone stealing from you can trigger. I understand you done worked hard installing this woman's hair. And when she doesn't pay you for her unit, okay, you want to show her your unit is g. But even 50 cent will tell you, don't move off emotion. Okay? He wrote a great book called Hustle Harder, Hustle Smarter. And in that book he says you should always fight for your worth but never take offense that you have to fight in the first place. When you do that, you're moving off of emotion. It might not be fair, but to get what you want, you can only move off strategy. The moral of the story is don't move off of emotion. Move off strategy. Jailer, you moved off of emotion here and now you're going to need way more than $150 to get you out of this situation. Now, I personally feel like if this story is all the way true, she should get donkey of the day, meaning if she wasn't trying to run off. If the little 15 year old girl wasn't trying to run off, she just sent the money to the wrong person like her mother said, then jailers should for sure get donkey of the day. But even if she was trying to to run, I think jailers should still get donkey because you simply can't conduct yourself like this as the owner. More of a business. But what do y'all think? What do y'all think? 1-800-585-1051. Let's take her to Breakfast Club Court. Yes. Jayla Cunningham's Jayla Cunningham, 18 year old hair stylist.
DJ Envy
Yes.
Charlamagne Tha God
Dragged a 15 year old girl.
DJ Envy
Don't say that's the floor. Don't say nothing yet.
Charlamagne Tha God
Don't cross the floor of the hair salon.
DJ Envy
We're gonna take the calls when we come back, 800-585-105 when I just have to throw this out there. I'm sorry, Charlamagne, because I feel like you're trying to swear to J Jury just a little bit now.
Charlamagne Tha God
No, I'm just telling the facts.
DJ Envy
Jayla did respond. She said y'all feel bad because it came out to be that she was 15, which I never knew. But what about me? I'm an 18 year old business owner who constantly has to deal with people trying to get over on me.
Charlamagne Tha God
I just kill it.
DJ Envy
The cash app mistake was not on me, but since she sent it to the wrong person, what I was supposed to not get paid. Like that's wrong as f it was very unprofessional. But you don't run out on nobody while they're waiting for you to send the money for your services to them when I was nothing but respectful and nice to her the entire appointment. So if she ran out, she did not know the young lady was 15. Let's discuss 800-585-1051. We'll take your calls. Should she get donkey today? It's the Breakfast Club. Come on.
Charlamagne Tha God
The Breakfast Club.
DJ Envy
Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Now, if we're. If you're just joining us, Charlemagne may or may not have begun donkey of the day to who?
Charlamagne Tha God
Jayla Cunningham. Jayla Cunningham is a young hairstylist. She's 18 year old. 18 years old from Maryland. And she's facing a second degree assault charge after drafting dragging her 15 year old client across the floor of her hair salon. Now, Jayla claims the 15 year old client tried to leave without paying for 150 service, but the young lady's mother says she accidentally sent the money owed to the wrong account.
DJ Envy
Right. So we're asking, should she get donkey of the day? Let's start with you, Jess. What are your thoughts?
Lauren LaRosa
No, I don't think she should.
Charlamagne Tha God
Why?
Lauren LaRosa
Because, look, we ain't going like this. Well, I don't know if y'all know or not. This happens all the time.
Charlamagne Tha God
All the time.
Lauren LaRosa
And I believe she acted like that because she's 18 years old. Like she's not grown yet. You know what I mean? So, yeah, whether, you know, people run out all the time. And look, and look, if you did send somebody the wrong cachet, why you ain't show me? And why was you trying to run? Why are you running? So, yeah, you know, they both young. It's just that Shorty wasn't 18, she 15.
DJ Envy
Right.
Lauren LaRosa
And she didn't before she sat in the chair. She didn't, didn't tell her, I'm 15 years old. And, and Jayla also didn't check her ID because that's on her website too. Like you got to be 18 or whatever. But she didn't check the girl ID. But the girl sat down knowing that rule. Like, all right, I supposed to be 18. People run off all the time. You got dragged back in. I mean, it. It is what it is. You lucky. Like she said, lucky I ain't beat your ass.
Charlamagne Tha God
Right?
Lauren LaRosa
But you got dragged. I mean, that's it. I don't think Jayla's wrong and I think the mom is wrong too. I mean, the client's mom is wrong. For sticking up for behavior like that. If the cash app thing was a lie.
DJ Envy
Well, I will say this. I tend to agree with you, Jess. And I'll tell you the reason why. The young lady, Jayla, who owns a business at 18, who just did all that work, and how long does it take to usually do that?
Lauren LaRosa
Those type of breaks, it's three to four hours.
DJ Envy
Three to four hours. And she did not know the young lady was 15. She thought the young lady was 18. Right. If it was 15, and it's a different call. But if you're an adult or 18 adult. Yes. People run out all the time. Sometimes you got to grab it where the hell you think you're going. That's the main thing. Now, sending to a wrong cash app. That happens all day long. I sent somebody a wrong cash app before, but that person still needs to get paid. That's not that person's fault. That's your fault.
Lauren LaRosa
Absolutely.
DJ Envy
So do I necessarily think that she should be arrested and charged and get donkey of the day? I don't. I disagree.
Lauren LaRosa
Right.
DJ Envy
If she knew the child was 15, then, yes, yes, she deserves donkey. But because she did not know she was 15, she thought she was 18, and the young lady ran out on her, I'll say allegedly. I don't think she should get donkey.
Charlamagne Tha God
Other day, both of y'all are admitting the fact that she ran after the young girl, grabbed her, and dragged her back in the hair salon. So once you do that, you've made a choice, and that choice is actually a crime. I'm actually surprised she didn't get charged with kidnapping.
DJ Envy
It's crime on both sides.
Charlamagne Tha God
Because. Because whenever you move somebody against their will, that's kidnapping.
DJ Envy
But it's.
Charlamagne Tha God
I'm actually. I'm actually shocked she didn't get charged with kidnapping. But also in the woman's statement, J.L.A. cunningham, she said, because you sent somebody the wrong cash app. That's my fault. No, it's not your fault. But the mother also said they were trying to figure out how to rectify the situation.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah. So sit your ass right here while y'all figure it out. Cause I still need my bread. Don't try to run out. I mean, it is what it is. I mean.
Charlamagne Tha God
I mean, I don't. Yeah. I don't know if she tried to run out or not. But even if she did try to run out out, that does not just.
Lauren LaRosa
Try to run out.
Charlamagne Tha God
Like. Yeah, but that don't justify.
Lauren LaRosa
Back in.
Charlamagne Tha God
Sure. But that. Listen, you can say that she had the right to assault her, but it's still a crime, y'all.
Lauren LaRosa
I didn't say she had the right to. I said I don't think she. I mean, all right, listen, I did the same. So that's what I'm saying. I didn't say she had the right to. Yeah, it's wrong, but, yeah, both was wrong.
Charlamagne Tha God
So you got to be. So you got to be willing to deal with the consequences of your actions.
DJ Envy
18.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah, I'm 18. Like maybe 33.
Just Hilarious
I wouldn't have did that.
DJ Envy
And she didn't.
Charlamagne Tha God
But 18. 18 is still an adult in the eyes of the law.
DJ Envy
That is true, but she thought the girl was older. And also, she didn't hit the girl. She could have said I was holding her, detaining her until the police came because there was no fist.
Charlamagne Tha God
That was kidnapping.
Lauren LaRosa
It wasn't a what?
DJ Envy
It's not. It's not kidnapping. If she's running out on the charge. That's not kidnapping.
Charlamagne Tha God
Call your dad. You know for a fact. Fact. We've had this conversation. If you move. If you move somebody a foot against their will, that's kidnapping.
DJ Envy
If you do something illegal and I'm detaining you into the police come. I don't think it's.
Lauren LaRosa
Either way, that's not the charge. Kidnapping is not the charge.
DJ Envy
Right.
Charlamagne Tha God
Second degree assault is, though.
Just Hilarious
Yeah.
Charlamagne Tha God
Either way, she gonna have to spend way more than 150 to get out.
Lauren LaRosa
This situation is not the charge. It's assault.
DJ Envy
So. Well, let's go to the phone lines. And I'm sure this happened before, so she's probably like, no, absolutely.
Lauren LaRosa
Money always happen.
DJ Envy
Hello? Who's this?
Charlamagne Tha God
Hello?
Just Hilarious
Hey, what's going on? DJ Envy, Charlamagne, Lauren, Jeff.
Andrew Schultz
What's your name?
DJ Envy
Mama G. And what's your thoughts?
Charlamagne Tha God
My thought is I don't think that the hair salon stylist is wrong. Like, in this day and age, everybody knows how cash app works. You're going to show your phone like, look, this you.
Just Hilarious
Yeah.
Charlamagne Tha God
Okay, now I'm going to send it. So when you was going out to shop, you noticed you didn't pay that girl her money. Now, maybe she shouldn't have laughed her that hard, but maybe she was resistant. I don't matter. Get your coin. Stop playing in my face. I think the person who deserves the hee Haw, the donkey of the day, is that anchor. Why he had to say that she got stolen and trash. That was un.
DJ Envy
Thank you, J. Goodbye. Goodbye. Hello?
Charlamagne Tha God
Who's this? What's good? What's good? It's animal to God.
DJ Envy
Good morning, Animal. Talk to us. What's your thoughts, man?
Charlamagne Tha God
Honestly, I feel like at the end of the day, the mom should be. You know, I mean, the mom should be on point. Like, if. If she felt like. If he.
Andrew Schultz
If she felt like it was a.
Charlamagne Tha God
Mistake, why did she run off? You feel what I'm saying?
DJ Envy
Yeah, well, she ran off now, I'm sure, because she was 15 and probably scared. She'd probably been there all day and probably wanted to go home. But the thing is, we didn't know, you know?
Charlamagne Tha God
But that's what I'm saying, though. She didn't know that she was 15. And on top of the. On top of that, like, she ran off. So it's like. It's like you don't do. It's like you don't hide or lie. You don't lie if you're telling the truth.
Lauren LaRosa
Like, yeah, like, what you running on for? It's a mistake. If I honestly sent it to somebody else. Hold up. I'm gonna sit right here until we get this right. My mother gonna send you this, or we gotta make sure the person sent it back. Something like that. You wouldn't have ran if you didn't make the mistake.
DJ Envy
Hello? Who's this?

Now take a big whiff, my bruh.
Jess Hilarious
Listen to the hookup on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to your favorite shows.
Charlamagne Tha God
I'm sure. Stephen A. Smith, LeBron James. As a parent, I, I wouldn't even be the mom that's like, oh, I was just as bad at you. Did she. I would be up there with lawyers, police officers, dea, FBI, NBC, abc, Breakfast Club. She is. They hired, they hired a law firm called Jackson and Associates to represent the teenager. They about to sue the hell out this woman.
DJ Envy
Well, she 18. She probably ain't got much. Like what they gonna get.
Charlamagne Tha God
She was chasing 18 like she keep saying she 18. Like she's not an adult. That's an adult, bro. She is an adult woman.
Lauren LaRosa
She's. She's 18. Like yeah, that's an adult in the.
Charlamagne Tha God
Eyes of the law.
Lauren LaRosa
21.
DJ Envy
No, she's not.
Lauren LaRosa
Got a bunch of experience. She 18, whatever. Both of them.
Charlamagne Tha God
That's an adult in the eyes of the law.
Lauren LaRosa
Be in high school, basically a senior whoop the a freshman or sophomore's ass. That's it.
Charlamagne Tha God
800 if. Listen time out real quick.
Lauren LaRosa
School wouldn't matter though.
Charlamagne Tha God
I know you. No, I know y'all keep saying that, but 18 is an adult because if that was a 18 year old sleep sleeping with a 15 year old, he would get charged. I'm just telling you 18 is an adult. You keep acting like that's not an adult. 18 is an adult. Right?
DJ Envy
But she thought she was 18. On the thing. It says you have to be 18 to get here. Now she should have checked. This is a young girl that started her own business new. She, she does things that she don't know and it's horrible. But I don't think she should go to jail.
Charlamagne Tha God
She's about to learn a hard lesson.
Morgan Woods
Listen.
DJ Envy
800-585-1051. Should she get donkey today? We'll take your calls when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. If you're just joining us, Charlemagne might or might not give donkey today. To who?
Charlamagne Tha God
Jayla Cunningham. Jayla Cunningham is a young lady who is a hair stylist. 18 year old hair stylist in Maryland who is facing a second degree assault charge after dragging her her 15 year old client across the floor of her hair salon. Jail claims the 15 year old client tried to run out without paying for $150 service. But the young lady's mother said she accidentally sent the money to the wrong account. Right.
DJ Envy
Now there is. There should be a charge for the young lady from running out on the bill as well then.
Charlamagne Tha God
Right?
DJ Envy
Cause it's the same thing if you go to a restaurant and you eat and you run out, they charge you. Correct.
Charlamagne Tha God
It's the same thing.
Lauren LaRosa
Right, but there's no difference if you like, dash.
DJ Envy
Yeah. Cause that's what she did. Dash, Right. It's the same thing. You'll be charged, right?
Lauren LaRosa
I don't know if that's a charge.
Andrew Schultz
No, that's a charge.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah.
Andrew Schultz
Well, yeah.
DJ Envy
Yeah, you get arrested for that.
Charlamagne Tha God
Hello?
Lauren LaRosa
Who's this?
Charlamagne Tha God
This is Jay.
DJ Envy
Hey, Jay. Good morning.
Charlamagne Tha God
Good morning.
DJ Envy
What's your thoughts, Jay?
Charlamagne Tha God
So my thought is the stylist, she handled it correctly. Because these 15 year olds, they're not the same 15 year olds that from.
Just Hilarious
Back in the day. So you have to handle them accordingly. You want to act grown?
Lauren LaRosa
Well, I'm going to treat you like you grown.
Just Hilarious
And if she sent the payment to.
Andrew Schultz
The wrong cash app, she could have.
Charlamagne Tha God
Showed that to the stylist and said.
Just Hilarious
Hey, look at my phone.
Charlamagne Tha God
I sent it, I sent it to the wrong person instead of trying to run.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah, we're gonna figure this out.
Charlamagne Tha God
And the mama, she's just as dirty as the daughter because now you're trying.
Lauren LaRosa
To cover up for your child instead.
Charlamagne Tha God
Of you being holding her accountable.
Andrew Schultz
That's why these kids run around like this.
DJ Envy
Okay, thank you, mama. Hello? Who's this?
Charlamagne Tha God
Nick.
DJ Envy
Nick, what's up? Talk to us. What's your thought?
Charlamagne Tha God
Thoughts, man. My thoughts is I see, I'm a father of five, right? So to me, they all kids. Like 18 don't make you grown.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah.
Charlamagne Tha God
You know what I'm saying? That was a child. And a child not knowing how to handle a mature business situation. The 15 year old panic. I think the 18 year old, she only 18. She probably still in high school. Like, what you gonna do if another high school student took your money at lunch? You gonna be ready to fight? I'm still a kid, so I think they need older people to guide them. I mean, you got all these little young girls and young people doing lashes at 16, 17 and doing hair. I think they need some type of like guidance. So they had to take some type.
Lauren LaRosa
Of like little month program, etiquette classes, training classes. Yeah, all of that business.
Charlamagne Tha God
My daughter do lashes. You know what I mean? Me and my wife always try to tell her, make you get your at least your deposit up front. Do you know this girl? Before she comes to your house. Do you know anything about them? Like, we just ask them questions, try to make them be, like, alert and assertive or what they dealing with. But I do think that little girl is trying to get away because cash app has no return policy. So if that was the truth, then she ain't about to get that money back. That little girl probably had no more money. She probably just panicked. He probably didn't think to call him out. She's like. Like, this is my allowance money, just what I saved up. I ain't got no more money. Let me get the heck up out of here. I think it was an instinct probably, if. If she really did send it to the wrong person. And the other girl, she's only 18. You ain't gonna play with me. I'm gonna see you at school. On my damn. And get you at school too, one day. Either way, I'm gonna see you all. It might be a mistake. He's thinking, this girl trying to play me. I just think it did right.
DJ Envy
Thank you, brother. All right, Charlamagne, you got about, what, nine, ten calls this morning.
Charlamagne Tha God
What's your thoughts? Man, the jury doesn't want jailer to get done punk here today. But you know, as a business owner, you can't carry yourself like that. You still have to be responsible for your actions. And, you know, we keep saying she's 18, which is true, you know, she's not emotionally mature enough. But in the eyes of the law, she's an adult and a business owner. Now she's gonna get sued because they are the teenager's mother already got the girl a lawyer. Now, she already got a charge, so it's gonna cost her way more than 150 to get out of this situation. But y'all don't want her to get donkey today, so she's not getting donkey today.
DJ Envy
All right? I wish it would have ended, you know, a lot easier than that because like you said, 150 ain't worth none of this. And I'm sure that's the whole point. All of us would have gave 150 just so both these girls wouldn't have to go through the court system and all that BS, you know?
Lauren LaRosa
But, like, from an 18 year old.
DJ Envy
Perspective, somebody running out on my business.
Lauren LaRosa
Is probably happening before. This is my bread. I just spent four hours doing your ass, kitty. What you talking about?
Charlamagne Tha God
And that's what why. And that's why us as grown people are here to communicate these things to the younger generation. Like the dude that called and said These people should have some type of ethics classes, you know, before they open the business. Yeah, but that's why we're here, to teach the next generation. And this should be a teachable experience for other young entrepreneurs. You can't move like this as a business owner. You just can't.
Lauren LaRosa
It's a teachable experience for both of them. Now, she probably won't run out no more, and Jayla won't be dragging nobody out house.
DJ Envy
Yeah, but it's also difficult, right? Like, would you pay your barber before you get a cut? Would you pay your hairdresser before you get a cut?
Charlamagne Tha God
Just don't most hair salons take a deposit?
Lauren LaRosa
Oh, yeah, take deposits. Yeah, but I'm not paying full on.
Charlamagne Tha God
You know what I'm saying? Before.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah, but no, they. Yeah, they require. And if you cancel anything, you can't even get that deposit back.
DJ Envy
Yeah, yeah, but the reason that most people don't want to pay up front, because if you mess up my hair, I got you.
Charlamagne Tha God
That's why it's a deposit. Yeah, you pay a deposit.
DJ Envy
All right, well, we got the latest with Lauren coming up. What we talking about?
Lauren LaRosa
And DDG dropped the song. He said he just want to see his son.
Charlamagne Tha God
Damn.
DJ Envy
Okay, we'll get to that next.
Lauren LaRosa
We just had him, yo. We always got him.
DJ Envy
It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to the latest with Lauren.
Lauren LaRosa
Lauren becoming a straight face.
DJ Envy
She gets a who's somebody that knows somebody.
Charlamagne Tha God
Details.
Just Hilarious
I'm the home girl that knows a little bit about everything.
Charlamagne Tha God
She be having the latest on the Latest with Lauren LaRosa. Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details. Sometimes she have a little bit of everything. What's the latest on the Breakfast Club?
Just Hilarious
Oh, shoot. I can't wait for that.
Lauren LaRosa
N N ladies, With Lauren, it's all you.
Just Hilarious
Take it away. So switching girls real quick because we're just like laughing, joking, just really quick. I broke a story over the weekend. If you guys are not following me outside of Breakfast Club, make sure you follow me at Lauren La Rosa, Twitter, Instagram, because we, you know, Latest keeps going 24 hours. Angie Stone. So we knew that she would be having two services. There's going to be one in Atlanta, Georgia on Friday, March 14, which is open to, you know, public friends, family as well. And then Saturday, March 15, she's having another homegoing service in her hometown of Columbia, South Carolina, which is private. But over the weekend, I was able to release some details on the performers and the guest speakers who will be involved in the services. So on the list, we have Tyler Perry, who will be speaking. Kirk Franklin will be performing. The Angie Stone Memorial Choir under direction of Ricky Dillard. Anthony Hamilton, the Walls Group. Kiki Wyatt, Pamela Man Music Soul Child Q. Parker Stout. So it's. I just wanted to, you know, make sure that we show some love and just let you guys know what's about to happen, because there were details circulating about who people thought were going to come, so. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. So that'll be going down this weekend. I also, too quickly wanted to say rest in peace to Dwayne Wiggins, the founding member of Tony Tony Tone, who also. It was announced that he passed away over the weekend as well, too, from bladder cancer. So our legends are, you know, Tony, Tony, Tony. Yeah, yeah. Getting up out of here, but shifting gears.
Charlamagne Tha God
Jesus Christ.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah, that's.
Charlamagne Tha God
They're transitioning. Lauren. Yeah, Lauren said they getting up out of here.
Just Hilarious
I mean, transitioning. When. When was it? When Dwayne Wiggins passed away this weekend, Literally, I was like, man, like, I know that people are getting older and the transition is happening, but it feels like it's all happening at once. Like, it's like.
Lauren LaRosa
But do you look at the cause of it, too? You know, bladder cancer. And it's just. I just. That's a bigger message for people to just take care of themselves.
Just Hilarious
Yeah.
Lauren LaRosa
Try to catch problems head on before it gets worse.
Just Hilarious
Yeah. It feels like it's like every day at this point.
Lauren LaRosa
I know you could.
DJ Envy
And you could tell her age because she said, Tony, Tony Tone. It's Tony Tony, Tony. The last one has an east, but it's Tony Tony.
Just Hilarious
It has a mark over it, too, but I didn't think that that was a thing.
Lauren LaRosa
You thought it was Tony?
Just Hilarious
No, I just thought it was Tone.
DJ Envy
Tony, Tony. Tony has done it. It feels good.
Lauren LaRosa
Feels good. Let's move on, though. You ain't getting it.
Just Hilarious
You still looking like.
Lauren LaRosa
No, it's Tone.
Just Hilarious
No, I didn't know the beginning of the song. And then when you said feels good, I knew that part of it. Yes. Okay. Oh, also, too. I didn't know how incremental he was in Beyonce's career. I learned that over the weekend. Did you know that?
DJ Envy
No, tell me.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yes. They signed Destiny Sh.
Just Hilarious
Yeah, he. He's the reason why we have Destiny Child and Beyonce. He took them to get their first deal. So her mom and dad, you know, show him some love over the weekend as well. So learning we're all learning here. Okay, now switching gears. Doi. I love doi to death, of course.
Lauren LaRosa
That's my girl.
Just Hilarious
Yo. She, first of all, just killed Paris Fashion Week. Popped out with Lauryn Hill after that, but little Cooch was out. Yeah.
Lauren LaRosa
It is what it is, though. My bad.
Just Hilarious
Had to yell at went with the outfit, though.
Lauren LaRosa
It was amazing.
Just Hilarious
Yeah, yeah, it was great. But DOI was, you know, she sat down and did an interview, and she was on First We Feast, and she's with her DJ, DJ Ms. Milan, and they're talking about red flags and just asking each other questions. Let's take a listen to those. Biggest red flag when dating. What's my biggest dating red flag?
Hunter
Is it being on the DL?
Just Hilarious
You know what's so crazy? I was gonna say men. I was gonna say, you already know.
Lauren LaRosa
Like, I mean, strike one.
Morgan Woods
You're a man.
Andrew Schultz
Yeah.
Just Hilarious
And you're heterosexual.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah.
Just Hilarious
I was gonna say so technically, because my mind was already there. I don't think I deserve to eat a wing. I think you do, friend. So when. When the buzzer goes off, Dolce shows a board where she has straight men written on the board. And people were upset because they're like, what does she mean? Her biggest red flag is straight men. And I'm like, obviously, that's her preference. She. She says that she dates, you know, men that are bi as well. But even if I think she was jokingly, I think this was my interpretation of it. She was jokingly kind of throwing jabs at, like, men who are super, like, super, super heterosexual. Like, the woman has a certain place in the home and you can't speak. Speak when spoken to. Like, making a joke about that, because that's a conversation as well. And, baby, when I say hit dogs were hollering over on Twitter, they were so upset. I'm like, this. It was a joke. I didn't think it was that.
Lauren LaRosa
Well, I mean, well. Shane, elaborate. All she said was straight men. Yeah, but, I mean, you. You get what she was saying. I mean, we don't even know what you think.
Just Hilarious
I don't even know that.
Lauren LaRosa
You know what I mean? She probably just really like the bisexual people because. Because she did say when she was up here, how she gonna, like, contradict herself? She was like, a lot of people got problems with dating by men, but if I'm bi, why would I have a problem with somebody else being bisexual?
Just Hilarious
Yeah.
Lauren LaRosa
You know, a man.
Just Hilarious
So they just turned this into the whole black.
Charlamagne Tha God
They did.
Lauren LaRosa
I seen people like, oh, let me go and follow her. Let me.
Just Hilarious
I'M like, they said that she's. Somebody tweeted. Every year the calendar changes and black women find more ways to turn black men off. What? And then it says she's destroying the black family home back.
Lauren LaRosa
Just. It's just another preference for somebody that's her preference.
Just Hilarious
You know, I love her. I'm gonna keep on.
Lauren LaRosa
Be real straight. When you come over here, you gotta be a little sussy. I mean, it's okay.
Just Hilarious
And then. Do we have time? Yes. So ddg, speaking of the black family, DDG is now coming out and saying that Haley won't let him see his son. Let's take a listen.
DJ Envy
Every single day or every other day, I'm. I'm trying to.
Charlamagne Tha God
To see him. I'm trying to get him to come over.
DJ Envy
I never get them dropped off. I always go pick them up. I live forest, so I'm driving hours to go get them, and then I get there and I can't get them. I can't see him. My son is sick right now.
Charlamagne Tha God
I want to see my son.
DJ Envy
I want to hold my son. I don't get the chance to do that. I get pinned against the wall, and then everything else is variables on why I can't see my son. It don't have nothing to do with me working, by the way. I'm not going to air out her business. But me and her has not been together for a long time. Like, I don't know if it's. I don't know what it is, but it's been going on for a minute. But I'm really just coming on this mother as just a dad that really don't know what to do. At this point, I really feel like.
Charlamagne Tha God
I'm a nanny at this point.
DJ Envy
The nanny has been able to have my son more than me.
Lauren LaRosa
As a dad, you don't know what to do at this point. Like, there's no courts. There's no legal situation. There's nothing that you can do if you feel like you.
Charlamagne Tha God
You.
Lauren LaRosa
If there's nothing else you can do, let me just go to the Internet, you know?
Congressman Al Green
Yeah.
Charlamagne Tha God
Let me just fault them. Little kids live for the Internet. Like, I don't understand why they have to vent everything to the Internet. Go tell that to the lawyer and try to get some custody of your son. Yeah, like, why run to the Internet with that?
Lauren LaRosa
And then Haley just said that her and the baby had rsv. People don't understand how serious that is.
DJ Envy
Yo.
Lauren LaRosa
Like, that's why you couldn't. That's why. Because it Was a thing where he was. She said I. He said. She told me I can pick him up, but I can't hang out. Like, I can't. Can't be with him at her house. All right, y'all, if y'all broken up, you don't need to be with him at my house. Like, because he was saying it also one of them lives as well. Like, I can pick him up, but I can't be. He wanted to be in there. You know what I mean? But no. And then he probably got RSV from being somewhere. You know, just being in people's face and all. That's where it comes from. And then now she got it, too. So it's just. They just have to quarantine right now, so you ain't gonna be able to see your baby.
Charlamagne Tha God
I'm pretty sure he's talking about before they were sick, though.
Just Hilarious
I think that. I think that's happening. Since the baby was born, he's felt like this.
Charlamagne Tha God
I think they conflating two different stories, because Holly came out with that, and then now people are trying to combine the two. But I'm sure he's talking about before they were sick.
Just Hilarious
He also did mention, though, to just his point when, like, right now, he was saying basically, like, my baby's sick, and I want to be able to help my baby get better, but I can't go see him. But I think it's a thing of they're not together, but both of them are, like, super parents, so they both want to be there every single time, every single moment, but they're not together. So it's causing some difficulty. Now, as far as, like, the core thing, he did say he's keeping track of the days that go by that he is not able to see his kid, so that's not off the table. But, I mean, when I heard this.
Lauren LaRosa
I was like, well, this has been saying. I mean, that's. Tell the truth. You tell me if you think otherwise. But DDG got the baby more than she do. If we looking at what we see.
Just Hilarious
Online, he posts with the baby a lot.
Lauren LaRosa
I will say that since it was. Since the baby was born, I feel like he. We see the baby with him more than anybody.
Just Hilarious
He might just feel like it's not as consistent as he wants it to be because he's so involved, because we.
Lauren LaRosa
Don'T know what's going on off camera. But I'm like, yo.
Charlamagne Tha God
And Holly don't. Probably don't live for the Internet like DDG does, because just because DDG Shows the baby more online. That definitely don't mean that the baby's with him more just because he shows the baby more online. Right.
Just Hilarious
Well, he dropped a song about this as well, too, and that didn't work out well for him. People were like, my baby back by that sound like a cash co. That's crazy.
Lauren LaRosa
But it ain't only about Halo. It's about about Halle, too. I don't want any thoughts. You said you was moving on. I know you're not. Yeah, all right. This ain't all about Halo.
DJ Envy
All right, well, that is the latest with Lauren, period. All right, it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Mix up next, y'all.
Charlamagne Tha God
You're checking out the Breakfast Club.
DJ Envy
Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Jess. Hilarious Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Lorna Rosa is here. We got a special guest in the building. Yes, indeed we have Congressman Al Green. Welcome to brother.
Congressman Al Green
Thank you. Thank you.
DJ Envy
Thank you for joining us. How you feeling?
Congressman Al Green
Yeah, well, I'm feeling quite well. Better than I deserve is what I usually say. Because candidly, I have the gift of life. I didn't earn it and I'm appreciative and I try as best as I can to appreciate the life that I have. But current events obviously are on my mind. And notwithstanding these events, I still say that I'm better than I deserve.
Charlamagne Tha God
And not only do you have one of the greatest R and B singers name, you got a R and B voice. You know what I mean? It's smooth talking. Are you about to do the quiet Stone?
Congressman Al Green
Wow. I've never been acknowledged in this fashion before. I have had people to say to me, well, let me give you this example. I was introduced and it was a great introduction, one of the best introductions I've ever had. And as I was going to speak, the gentleman said to me, before you finish, would you just please sing one song? He knew. Not that I was just give us one song.
DJ Envy
But I want to start from back before we get into everything that's going on. Who is Al Green and what made you wanted to get into serving people?
Congressman Al Green
Well, it probably started early in life when I was a child in elementary school, my teacher, Ms. Graham, I believe was her name, had the class to all assume some office or run for some office. And I was running for class president and my theme was go with Green.
Charlamagne Tha God
And.
Congressman Al Green
And that meant something to me then. And it continued. President of student body, president of freshman class in college. Once you get into this, it seems to envelop you and you just don't leave it immediately. So I didn't plan to do this. It sort of consumed me, in a sense, and here I am. So it's not a contrived thing.
Charlamagne Tha God
You know, you caused some good trouble the other night when you stood up and spoke out at the joint session of Congress. I think what's getting lost is what you actually said.
Congressman Al Green
Thank you.
Charlamagne Tha God
And you said that you have no mandate on Medicare.
Congressman Al Green
No mandate to cut Medicaid.
Charlamagne Tha God
Medicaid.
Congressman Al Green
No mandate to cut. Literally, I had my coat, my cane, and I was about to make my exit because I really didn't want to sit through what I knew the President would do. So as I was about to make my exit, he made this statement about his mandate. And I said to him, you have no mandate to cut Medicaid. And by the way, I didn't come to say that. I did not. It was spontaneity. It was just something.
Charlamagne Tha God
Spirit movie.
Congressman Al Green
Yes. So I said it. And of course the speaker admonished me. He said that I should take a seat. But at the moment, I had to make the point. So I said it again. The speaker admonished me again. And the speaker did his job. He said, well, you gotta be removed. And so I was evicted. And by the way, the officers who evicted me were very kind. They didn't say anything to me that was out of order. They were very kind to me, but it didn't matter to me what the consequences were. And I've shared this with other people. John Lewis and I were friends. We talked about this notion of peaceful protest. And a part of it is not just getting in the way. As he put it, you have to get in the way. You have to be disruptive. People are not going to like you some, but when you do this, you have to also be prepared to suffer the consequences. So when I did it, I was prepared to suffer the consequences. And I'm prepared now. But that doesn't mean that I'm going to like the consequences. You can be prepared to suffer things that you don't agree with. I don't agree with what happened, but I was prepared to suffer. Because Medicaid means so much to so many people. One in every five persons with insurance in this country is covered by virtue of Medicaid. And if we lose Medicaid, we're going to lose lives. The President, by and through his agents in Congress, issued a mandate. We passed legislation to cut $880 billion from the committee that has jurisdiction over Medicaid. You cannot do that. You cannot do that. Without cutting into Medicaid. And if you do that, you're going to hurt a lot of people that I represent. So I'm standing for them because they can't stand for themselves understanding that they need this health care.
Charlamagne Tha God
I'm glad you explained that. But also, you said something. You said that the speaker was doing his job. So if that's the case, why didn't Democratic speakers do their job and kick out Joe Wilson when he yelled out at Barack Obama? You lied. Why didn't do their job and kick out Marjorie Taylor Greene or Boebert? Like why? Why? Why don't they do their job?
Congressman Al Green
This is why I came to the program, because I would get a question like this. And I really appreciate this question because it gets to the essence of where we are, but a good many of us don't realize it. There is still invidious discrimination. There is invidious discrimination in the House of Representatives. And when the speaker decided that I would be removed, and then there was this motion, this resolution to censor me, it became obvious to me that I was not being treated as others were. And candidly speaking, it is invidious discrimination, harmful discrimination. I don't agree with that. But I was willing to suffer that because I knew that I had to get that message to the president and put this issue before the public. Because the public has not grasped what's going to happen if Medicaid is cut. This is not about black people. Most of the people of the plurality, they're Anglos. Black people are smaller percentage of Medicaid. But this is about people who need health care. This president is a person who uses his incivility to take advantage of our civility. When I left, I went home and I saw the rest of the event on television and I saw him point to the Democrats and say, these people are lunatics. He called the Democratic members of Congress lunatics. Now, that is incivility. He will not be punished for that. He's not going to be sanctioned. He's not going to be reprimanded. He's not going to be censured. He does this with impunity. I believe that we have to meet incivility with incivility. I have to be prepared to suffer the consequences, but I'm prepared to meet his incivility that he uses to demean people. We have to use our incivility to uplift people. I think that at some point, even if nobody stands with you, you on some issues, they are so important that if nobody stands with you, it is Better to stand alone than not stand at all.
DJ Envy
Now, you talk about consequences.
Congressman Al Green
Yes, sir.
DJ Envy
What are the consequences for what you.
Congressman Al Green
Well, I'm about to suffer double jeopardy. They have censured me, which was to bring me before the House and. And read the statement. That was a statement of censure. But there's now a movement to strip me of my committee assignment. I would call that double jeopardy. I will not agree with it. But I will still say to you, if I could do it again, I would, knowing that they would do these things, because it's not about me. It's about the health care. And somewhere along the way, we make sacrifices. 60th anniversary. Is that what it is? Of crossing Edmund Pettus Bridge today, John Lewis and those folk made sacrifices. John Lewis explained to me he thought he was going to die on that bridge. Some people have to make sacrifices. So if sacrificing a congressional seat is going to help people get health care, then that's a fair exchange to get that health care for people who need it.
