When segregation was a law, one mysterious black club owner, Charlie Fitzgerald had his own rules.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Segregation in the day, integration at night.

[Angela Yee]

It was like stepping in another world.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Was he a businessman? A criminal? A hero?

[2 Chainz]

Charlie was an example of power.

[DJ Envy]

They had to crush him.

[2 Chainz]

So no, I am not your guru.

[DJ Envy]

Back then I lied to everybody.

[DJ Envy]

I'm going back to my hometown to uncover the trut truth. Listen to the Red Weather on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Fourteen years in prison for killing a young woman. A 15 year sentence for a crash that caused three deaths. Twelve and a half years for killing a child and critically injuring her mother. All true stories, all caused by marijuana. Impaired drivers. No matter what you tell yourself, if you feel different, you drive different. So if you're high, just don't drive. Brought to you by NHTSA and the Ad Council the human body is a beautiful machine.

And keeping it running means understanding how it actually works. Which is why this podcast Will Kill youl is doing a multi part series on sleep. What it's for, why our bodies don't follow neat rules, and why modern life is not helping.

[Angela Yee]

When you consider what we know about

[DJ Envy]

sleep in humans, there's one rule that comes out.

[Angela Yee]

Ew.

[2 Chainz]

Go. Wait.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, let's get in some front page news. Mimi's here. What's up, Mimi?

[Mimi]

Good morning, M.V. josh Aldermane. How y' all doing this morning?

[Caller]

Good morning.

[Mimi]

So we start this morning with the war in the Middle east that is expanding. It's now pulling in at least 11 countries and raising serious concerns about global oil supplies and in America's safety over abroad. So the US Military, it says that six American service members have been killed in this conflict. At least 18 others have been wounded. And those deaths came after an Iranian strike hit a US Tactical operation in Kuwait. Military leaders, they are warning of more casualties. They say more casualties, of course, are possible as this fighting intensifies. And all of this hitting us at home really hard this morning. So Iran has now shut down the Strait of Hormuz. That's the narrow but critical shipping lane where roughly 20% of the world's oil supply moves through every day. So oil for prices are already climbing. And analysis say that by the end of the week, we could see our gas here jump 30 cents per gallon. So that's a lot. Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Jesus.

[Mimi]

And across the region, the conflict is expanding. Iranian missiles and drones, they've struck Israel, Saudi Arabia, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait explosions, they've rocked residential buildings, commercial centers, U.S. embassies. And now President Trump says this operation, it could last four or five weeks. But now he's saying it could go on much longer. He says the area has not even seen the biggest attacks yet and that, quote, a big wave is coming. He also says he is not ruling out sending US Ground troops and laid out his objective. Let's listen.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And we have, right from the beginning, we projected four to five weeks, but we have capability to go far longer than that. First, we're destroying Iran's missile capabilities. Second, we're annihilating their navy. We've knocked out already 10 ships. They're at the bottom of the sea. Third, we're ensuring that the world's number one sponsor of terror can never obtain a nuclear weapon.

[Mimi]

And this morning the US State Department is urging all Americans to depart now from more than a dozen countries in the Middle East. They are citing serious safety risks. But the airspace, with the airspace closures and airports targeted, getting out is becoming increasingly difficult. Secretary of State Marco Rubio says they have set up a 24 hour task force to help Americans who are abroad with up to the minute safety and security information. Let's listen to that.

[2 Chainz]

Now.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

In order to receive these updates, you have to register with the Smart Traveler enrollment program.

[DJ Envy]

You have to register with STEP. You go to step.state.gov and register so we can reach you.

[2 Chainz]

24 hours a day, seven days a

[Charlamagne Tha God]

week at the following phone number, 1202-501-4444.

[Mimi]

And so back here at home in Washington, this is also becoming a political fight. Lawmakers, they are expected to be briefed today on Iran and vote on Thursday on War Powers resolution that could require congressional approval for continued military action. Now some Democrats.

[DJ Envy]

Seven days too late.

[Mimi]

It's seven days. There's seven days too late. And I'm glad that you said that because Senator Raphael Warnock, he is raising questions on that issue. Let's listen to that.

[DJ Envy]

Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. I'm clear about that.

[2 Chainz]

But the president said just months ago

[DJ Envy]

that he set their nuclear program back by years. There's a huge difference between telling me months ago that you've obliterated their capacity. That was his word. Obliterated. Set them back years. And now all of a sudden, we have an imminent nuclear threat.

[2 Chainz]

Which is it? The public deserves answers.

[DJ Envy]

The Congress has a responsibility to have a debate.

[2 Chainz]

Where are my Republican colleagues on this?

[DJ Envy]

Are they going to continue just to give away their power or are they going to represent the people in the people's interest? So far, we've seen no plan for what the President is planning to do. We've seen no explanation for why this is an imminent threat. And here's what I know. Americans are weary of endless wars in the Middle East. We've been told before that this will take a few weeks and we'll be in and out. But how do you. What's the point of. Well, I'm not gonna say what's the point, but how do you stop somebody after the fact?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You can't.

[DJ Envy]

He already did what he wanted to do.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You can't. You can. I do have a question, though. I've been seeing all this going on, and then I've been seeing a lot of people talking about the president's health, right? They talk about some rash on his neck, something. His hand is. Have all these bruises. Is the president okay to be here for the next couple of weeks to make sure he can?

[DJ Envy]

How the hell are we supposed to know?

[Mimi]

A lot of people are raising that question. They're literally asking because someone said that he's, he's, he's. He's treating us like a video game. Like, you know, like, oh, we're going into war. We're just gonna, you know, throw Americans in there like it's a game and it's not. These are people's lives.

[Angela Yee]

So even a way, really good question.

[DJ Envy]

I know the biggest thing I took away from what Mimi said just now, gas prices are definitely going up, okay? Because oil prices have gone up. So, you know, more stress on the American people's pockets. Okay? From the same person who said he was going to fix the economy on day one and question all that oil Trump got from Venezuela. He about to get rich, right? Because if the gas prices are up over there, they're going to have to get some affordable oil from somewhere. But he just bragged.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He just bragged two weeks ago that the oil prices were down. It's the lowest in years.

[DJ Envy]

Years are lowest From Venezuela.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's just for him and his family, bro.

[DJ Envy]

No, it's not. That's. He going to be selling that to. Oh, wow. For an affordable price.

[Angela Yee]

The gas plug, Peter Plug.

[Mimi]

It's gonna be on his website. Trump rx you can get your gas there, too.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All right.

[Lauren LaRosa]

All right.

[Mimi]

Well, coming up at 7, a rideshare company is offering a new way to beat traffic. So the question is, would you fly to your next destination? We'll talk about it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All right, everybody else, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, phone lines are wide open. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

[2 Chainz]

[DJ Envy]

I don't know nothing about the martial law part, but I know you're right. America did invade Iran. Yes.

Yeah, that's probably gonna be good. Going up. Yeah, man.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, he just needed confirmation on what he's saying.

It's only gonna get worse.

[Caller]

I'll let this man.

[Angela Yee]

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Okay, Nisha, get it off your chest. Mama.

[Caller]

So I love y'.

[Lauren LaRosa]

All.

[Caller]

I want to say that I appreciate y' all in the morning time. Oh, thank you.

[DJ Envy]

I love Rhode Island. I like going to irregardless biscuit spot in Rhode Island.

[Angela Yee]

Only been one time.

[Caller]

Oh, okay. Well, that's a new spot. I'm gonna try that out.

[2 Chainz]

Mm.

[DJ Envy]

It's improvident.

[Caller]

So. So I want to say I want to get this off my chest. And I am. I. I am a faithful, faithful listener from back in the day. Even from first time caller. First time caller. First time caller. Yeah, all of that.

[Caller]

But Envy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes, ma'.

[2 Chainz]

Am.

[Caller]

This is towards you. Okay, could you please give us some better up Temple songs in the morning time? I'm tired of waking up to fall asleep.

[DJ Envy]

I agree. I agree.

[Lauren LaRosa]

That's right.

[Angela Yee]

Nisha.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Nisha. I don't pick the records.

[DJ Envy]

Yes, he does.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That plays on the Breakfast Club.

[Caller]

Says it in the beginning. DJ Envy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'll be trying to change the record sometimes. You see, I be changing them sometimes, but.

[Caller]

Well, then who do we call? Because I'm gonna keep calling you because it says DJing Envy.

[DJ Envy]

Well, we have a music director. Her name is Sim. Sema. Sim. I don't know if she. I don't know what.

[Caller]

She's got the keys to the music. She does.

[Angela Yee]

She comes out of music in the morning time.

[DJ Envy]

I don't know if she got the keys, but I agree with you. I don't know why we play so much slow songs in the morning. It's crazy.

[Caller]

I want to say keep Chris Brown in the rotation, but the rest of these people list.

[2 Chainz]

Listen.

[Angela Yee]

There we go.

[DJ Envy]

Okay.

[Lauren LaRosa]

It's too early in the morning. I get up at 5:30 and I'm

[Caller]

sleepy by 6 when I call y'.

[DJ Envy]

All. I don't even listen to the music on the show.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, shut up, man.

[DJ Envy]

Yes, you do. You deserve.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You just rap two chains.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah. Cause we played it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All right, so we gonna start. Appreciate that. We gonna start.

[Caller]

Yeah, but then it's two chains and then it's like sleepy time.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Like, come on.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Which one?

[DJ Envy]

I'm with you. I love y', all, though.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I love you back.

[DJ Envy]

I agree. Because it's two things that are happening here. Everybody in this world is used to picking their music on demand nowadays, and so they get to pick what it is that they want. So, number one, you already behind the eight ball and radio, because you're forcing people to choose what you want to listen to, and you're making them sleepy.

[Angela Yee]

Crazy.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah. Damn, man.

[Angela Yee]

Everybody think because you are the dj.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah.

[Angela Yee]

You picked the music, yo.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I know, but I don't. But, you know, we. We changed the record. We've been changing the records a little bit.

[2 Chainz]

You can hear the dance.

[DJ Envy]

I don't want to be the Sweat Hotel in the morning, okay? We are not the Quiet Storm, all right?

No, you said, can he bounce that ass?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, he didn't say bounce that ass.

[Caller]

No, no, I didn't say that. I didn't say that's shaking. That's. I was talking about bounce. Like moving your knees and your back on your shoes.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Have a good one, brother.

[DJ Envy]

I thought he said that they aired the Netflix thing with the people on.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, he said they aired the call and people were talking about it, and his show was packed.

[DJ Envy]

I'm about to say Netflix just doing anything.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. We got the latest velour coming up. She's running a little late. She'll be here in a second.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah, but she told me. Okay, tell y' all that Diddy may be coming home sooner than we think.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Y' all scared?

[DJ Envy]

No.

[2 Chainz]

No.

[Angela Yee]

Okay.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You.

[2 Chainz]

I don't know.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You don't know if you can. All right, we'll get to that.

[2 Chainz]

Next.

[DJ Envy]

Don't move.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

[DJ Envy]

You'll talk. LL Cool.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah. I'm not dumbing myself down. I'm being myself. I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about everything and everything. Little brown girls look at you and go, I want to be like you.

[Angela Yee]

Take me through there.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Take me through there.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Latest with Lauren

[2 Chainz]

on the Breakfast Club.

[DJ Envy]

LL Cool, baby. Talk to me. LL Cool, babe.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Good morning, guys. Alrighty. So yesterday there were some outlets reporting that Diddy may be coming home a bit sooner than we think. Not too much of a difference in the time, but, I mean, if you're sitting in there, I Baptist, it's something. So he will now be released on April 25, 2028. Originally, it was set for June. June 4, 2028, and that is listed officially on the Federal Bureau of Prisons website. Now, people are trying to figure out, like, how this happened, why this happened. So I made a few phone calls, just trying to figure this out. From everything I'm understanding, it was a reassessment of the initial math. So you guys remember the time that Diddy was going to do had like randomly changed by a couple months. Like some months. And nobody could explain it.

[DJ Envy]

Yep.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So what I'm told is that there's a process of like, how you account for time served, credit for good behavior from the previous jail that he was.

[DJ Envy]

That.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So that was a part of the change. But also this can go up and down daily based on what he does. So how well he's doing in. He's enrolled in that RDAP program, which is the residential drug abuse program. He has his. The game with Diddy program that he

[Angela Yee]

does with the image.

[2 Chainz]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He's giving the amazing knowledge.

[Angela Yee]

So.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So yeah, so depending on what he's doing, uh, we could see, you know, this come back more and he has less time or it could increase.

[DJ Envy]

But any. Anytime getting shaved off is good. But you know what you really want to get shaved off. And them years he wanted to be like 20, 26.

[Angela Yee]

Exactly.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But you know, the crazy thing with Diddy is, is this is what we said a long time ago.

[DJ Envy]

Just where do you begin when you say the craziest thing with Diddy?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Just say nothing. Just. Just let it go away and people will stop talking to you. And we haven't mentioned Diddy or talked about Diddy or anything he's done in months.

[Mimi]

Yes.

[DJ Envy]

That ain't gonna make his time shorten.

[Angela Yee]

No, no, but it's just like, I

[Lauren LaRosa]

guess, like for you. Because he also is still going up for that appeal, people.

[Angela Yee]

I was gonna say, was he asking again, like, well, he's

[Lauren LaRosa]

court date hasn't even happened, so it'll. It'll. So next month in April. And I actually found this out some while ago, but we didn't even talk about. I was waiting for the date to come up. So he'll be. His team will be back in court in April and they'll be having an official conversation about who the judges will be in his appeal and kind of what that would look like. But he's still standing on the fact that he feels like he was unfairly charged because of how the things that they were allowed to. To know and use to be able to sentence him. And they're also trying to make. They're still trying to make the prostitution conversation. Just. Just, you know, something that he indulged in because it was a part of his sex life and not prostitution that should have him behind bars.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So when I tell you that it's the first time I've ever seen that they let the pimp and. And the prostitute go and get the mark. So that's the weirdest thing, but whatever happened to that documentary that they were gonna do?

[Lauren LaRosa]

What you mean the one that he was gonna do?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No. Remember his kids said they were gonna do

[Lauren LaRosa]

it was supposed to drop, and we haven't seen anything on it. And when I act when. When I had a conversation about that, I was just told that there was people on the team who weren't even aware that it was happening when it released. So I think behind the scenes are trying to get it together. I can't.

[DJ Envy]

Maybe somebody came to these senses and said, sit y' all stupid asses down, okay? We don't need y' all making no documentary. It's been enough documentaries. 50 Cent has done enough.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Okay, I can't answer that indefinitely. But I would. I, I.

[Angela Yee]

But it was gonna be their perspective, right? Or their response.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yes. But I think when you have Diddy on, like, he's literally on a pill watch, right? Like, he's waiting to convince a judge that he's not as bad as the actual as everybody thinks he is. I just wouldn't even fool

[DJ Envy]

documentary.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

I wouldn't even touch my daddy. Did not rub semen on his nipples. Like, what?

[Angela Yee]

I missed my dad. I missed my dad. All right. Damn.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So switching gears a bit. So yesterday there was this video going viral of Cardi B from one of her tour stops. And in the video, she is. Is. She's about to go into a song, so she's teasing a song, but her. Her word choice in the lyrics she chose made people think she was coming for Stefan Diggs. Let's take a listen to that video.

[Angela Yee]

That song. It's called the Principle. You can't be out here playing with

[Lauren LaRosa]

a like me this out here praying

[Angela Yee]

for a like me Too sexy to be lonely and too grown to be playing with. Who you playing with, mother? They never had a bat. None of them with me.

[DJ Envy]

So she on stage saying something very generic that she probably says every night. And people think that's the worst that on. Well, never get tired of just assuming things.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Oh.

[DJ Envy]

So I remember how we used to say, you make an ass out of yourself assuming. Like, tell me why that's about, Stephon Digging Speculation.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yes. Because there's all the speculation. We know that they're not at the best place because when she responded to Bia, she said she's not fooling with her baby daddy. But that don't mean Bia can come for her baby daddy. And we don't know. So, Big Faby Daddy, remember on X, Cardi B. Had did a song and she has her song where she's like named five. Be a song. Yeah, be a responding on X. And. And had a little like something to say about us that font did. So Cardi B responded on stage. But because of all of that and because all the drama, yes, people are drawing their own conclusions. But Cardi B came back on X. I. She let all of the headlines go. I mean, everything from TMZ to Yahoo to People, everybody covered this, right? So Cardi B comes out and she says their blogs. When I perform a song, I always introduce the song with a little razzle dazzle. Not everything is a shot or personal. I'm actually repeating lyrics. Song. Relax.

[DJ Envy]

Folks act like they never been to a concert before and never seen artists introduce certain records certain ways.

[Angela Yee]

Well, you gotta think about it though. Her tour is what? Little miss Drama tour. I know the album is m out of drama, but it's Little miss Drama tour. So, you know, she. She probably catering to that. That narrative.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, I mean that's.

[Angela Yee]

That's what some people could be speculating like, okay, this. What's she gonna say tonight? Oh, she. She got some more drama.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I'll be watching the clips for that. Well, the song that she's talking about is called Principal. It's on her Little miss Drama album. Let's take a listen to Principal Gotta be the only.

[Angela Yee]

What the hell's the main. You ain't on the same page. I'm too bad to be lonely and too grown to be played with. It's the principle.

[DJ Envy]

The principal, he's literally reciting lyrics from the song.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Exactly 100 song.

[DJ Envy]

That's what, a couple years old now?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

It's about Stefan Diggs.

[Lauren LaRosa]

People just want. I'm trying.

[DJ Envy]

People be on drugs and I hate people ao. I really do.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Oh, my God.

[DJ Envy]

I don't be staying home. I hate people.

[Lauren LaRosa]

This is why you do be staying home.

[DJ Envy]

Don't y' all just hate people sometimes?

[Lauren LaRosa]

I don't hate people. They do have actually.

[Angela Yee]

Not people on drugs. Sometimes they funny.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, you're right.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Well, I wanted to mention Cardi B had posted prior to this X tweet that she had sold out another one of her tour stops.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She's doing amazing.

[Lauren LaRosa]

It was like 13. So the text. It was a text to her and Patience who works on her team, who's come up here. Also 13, 000 tickets sold. It was like another. Another sold out night. 13, 000 tickets sold. I'm like, yo, she is just like smoothly killing this, right?

[DJ Envy]

I can't wait to See it. And what's gonna be crazy is people gonna go to that show, hear her say the same thing before principal, and turn to each other and say, you think she talking about that phone thing?

[Lauren LaRosa]

You getting us a sweet? Because I would be.

[Angela Yee]

People, hurry.

[DJ Envy]

I dare you. I will get you removed from the sweet so fast.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So what are we going to see? Are we going to see it in New York or.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I think we. Isn't that Madison?

[DJ Envy]

I gotta go to New York because Newark, I'm out of the town that we out of town that weekend. So I'm go to New York, that Thursday show.

[Angela Yee]

I want to see her.

[DJ Envy]

Was it the 20 something?

[Lauren LaRosa]

The 20s? 25th. Okay. Yes. Yeah. I have time for a quick one. No.

[Angela Yee]

Okay. All right.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Well, in the next latest. I know yesterday, Chet Hanks, he had posted a video that he was stuck overseas. I talked to him yesterday and we might have figured it out. Don't play with me because my man is not Chet Hanks. All right? It wasn't nothing. Blushing over here. Don't play with me.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Don't fun like you a like that

[DJ Envy]

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You love that white king.

[Lauren LaRosa]

[DJ Envy]

It was.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It was him.

[DJ Envy]

You had a thing for white.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I'mma get the audio so y' all can hear exactly what I said.

[Angela Yee]

I cannot believe you believe them.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Look at me.

[DJ Envy]

What did you mean, look at you? You just said you just got like this when you came from tmz, you was still wanting the Travis Kelsey seats and Chad Hanks back.

[Lauren LaRosa]

And I have all the audio, but I actually did say that didn't include Chet Hanks at tmz. American dream. Black army would tell you.

[DJ Envy]

Take that off. Okay. Black flea market.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

See, from my black flea market. And that's what you going to call it.

[Lauren LaRosa]

The black gone vendors. I'm sorry.

[Angela Yee]

I meant what.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Flea markets are back. Sorry.

[Angela Yee]

From DJ Envy's black flea market.

[DJ Envy]

Damn right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

When we come back, we got front page news. So don't go anywhere. 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 in some front page news. What's up, Mimi?

[Mimi]

Good morning, M.V. jeff. Charlemagne.

[DJ Envy]

How y' all doing this morning, girl?

[Mimi]

Good morning. So we start this hour with new video just released from Capitol Hill showing former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton under oath in the Jeffrey Epstein investigation. The House Oversight Committee, they released more than nine hours of closed door Deposition footage from last week. Lawmakers questioned both Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton about what they knew and when they knew it regarding Epstein and his association with Ghislaine Maxwell. Now, Hillary Clinton, she testified first, she was asked whether she believed that President Trump should also be deposed as part of this investigation. And she responded basically by saying, if investigators are serious about getting to the truth and no one, regardless of party or position, should be off limits, and suggested that the same standard that's being applied to her and Bill Clinton should be applied across the board. Let's listen.

[Angela Yee]

Absolutely. I was a lawyer. As a lawyer, you would look for pattern and practice if you were deposing a witness in a case that you were trying, if you were in court.

[2 Chainz]

Court.

[Angela Yee]

What did you know about this person? Donald Trump has been held civilly liable for sexual assault by a jury of his peers. He has also been convicted on 34 felony counts for attempting to hide his relationship with a escort. Given past and prior conduct, he would be on my witness list.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, Hillary is 100% right. I mean, that's the answer I expected Bill to give when he got asked. But, you know, I don't think you can talk like that if, you know, you might be dirty, too.

[Mimi]

Well, we'll get there. She also repeatedly told investigators that she does not ever recall meeting Epstein. And at times, you know, the questioning, it grew pretty heated. The session, it was briefly paused, too, after a photo from inside that deposition room was leaked online by a Republican lawmaker, a move that Hillary Clinton called out directly. So let's listen to what she had to say about that.

[Angela Yee]

Did you do anything to determine what was happening in the. Those images or on those trips that you. Once you saw these photos, once you

[Mimi]

realized Jeffrey Epstein was a convicted sex

[Angela Yee]

offender of children, did you do anything to determine what was happening on these trips with your husband? I don't find any of your questions to be relevant to the investigation. If a former president was traveling around with young women, well, you'll have a chance. You'll have a chance to talk to him. If there are photos that are being released of the secretary, she is testifying. Can you please explain how I've done her this? If you guys are doing that, I am done. You can hold me in contempt from now until the cows come home. This is just typical behavior. Yeah.

[Caller]

Well, I would like to take a break at this.

[DJ Envy]

Very unserious to be taking pictures from that and then posting it on social media.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah. What was Hillary's attorney?

[DJ Envy]

Because it seemed like Hillary right next

[Mimi]

to her Right next to her, the one who said, we're going to take a break.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, but she was the one that would seem like she was biting back with the other.

[DJ Envy]

It should have been. No, he was bucking back, sir. Okay.

[Mimi]

They were both. And that was Representative Nancy Mays, who they were kind of getting into it a little bit. But, yeah, Hillary did kind of, you know, she got heated because it's a closed door deposition. She said, you have the opportunity to make it public. You chose to do private, so there should be no photos taken. And as for Bill Clinton, he acknowledged flying on Epstein's private jet in the early 2000s for humanitarian work tied to the Clinton Foundation. And he described their relationship as cordial, not close, and said they parted ways after about a year. Lawmakers also questioned him about photos that have surfaced in the files. Have you guys seen this one? He's in a hot tub.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Mimi]

With an unknown person. So let's listen to that.

[DJ Envy]

Hey, this is Wells Adams with By Order of the Faithfuls podcast alongside my fellow faithfuls and co hosts Tamara Judge and Dolores Catania. The three of us have been watching this season of the Traders, and we've been inside that castle, so we have insight. Unlike many others, this season of the Traders may be the best we've ever, ever seen. Listen to By Order the faithfuls on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Hi, I'm Danielle Robay, host of Bookmarked

[Mimi]

the podcast by Reese's Book Club. And this week, we are talking about

[Lauren LaRosa]

a monster, or maybe the woman who

[Mimi]

refused to be one. I'm sitting down with Maggie Gyllenhaal to unpack her new film the Bride. And trust me, this, this isn't your grandmother's Bride of Frankenstein.

[Lauren LaRosa]

It's darker, smarter, sexier, a full reimagining of what happens when the monster gets a voice of her own.

[Mimi]

What I was more interested in was

[Lauren LaRosa]

the monstrousness inside of each of us. You can spend your life running from those things, or you can turn around and shake hands with them. If I'm honest about that, and I tell you my story about monsters really dealing in something truthful, and I do it in a way that's pop, that's hot. That's like getting on a roller coaster. Will people respond? Listen to Bookmarked the Reese's Book Club

[Lauren LaRosa]

When segregation was the law. One mysterious black club owner had his own rules.

[Angela Yee]

We didn't worry about what went on outside. It was like stepping in another world.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Inside Charlie's Place, black and white people danced together. But not everyone was happy about it.

[Caller]

You saw the kkk.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Angela Yee]

They was dressed up in that uniform.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The KKK set out to raid Charlie,

[Lauren LaRosa]

take him away from here.

[2 Chainz]

Charlie was an example of power.

[DJ Envy]

They had to crush him.

[DJ Envy]

This is Ryder Strong with a podcast called the red weather. In 1995, my neighbor Anna Trainer disappeared from a commune. It was nature and trees and praying and drugs.

[2 Chainz]

So, no, I am not your.

[DJ Envy]

Back then, I lied to everybody.

[Lauren LaRosa]

They have had this case for 30 years.

[DJ Envy]

I'm going back to my hometown to uncover the truth. You can now binge all episodes of

[Lauren LaRosa]

the Red Weather on the iHeartRadio app,

[DJ Envy]

Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. There's a girl over here or there's someone. Yeah, I don't know who that is.

[Angela Yee]

But he's also asking in the pool

[DJ Envy]

area whether other individual.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Any sexual contact with.

[DJ Envy]

With young women or girls in the presence of Epstein or Maxwell? No. Did you ever have sexual contact with any young woman or girl introduced to you by Epstein or Maxwell?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Mr. President, with the benefit of hindsight, were there things you witnessed that could have suggested that Epstein was trafficking and

[DJ Envy]

sexually abusing young women and girls? I did not believe so.

[2 Chainz]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So that man is 80 years old. This happened, what, 25, 30 years?

[DJ Envy]

No, we're not doing that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What I'm about to say is I'm surprised he remembers. No, I'm surprised if he. If he remembers that's 30 years ago. He said he remember every time he ran into Epstein and every time, I

[DJ Envy]

don't know, pictures to jog his memory.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah, right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Did you hear his answer when he was like, when they asked him and he was like, well, I flew here.

[DJ Envy]

And he sounded like that 40 years ago when they was asking him about Monica Lewinsky. Knock it off.

[Angela Yee]

Said he didn't have sexual relations.

[DJ Envy]

Exactly. Sounded like that 40 years ago when he was much younger. He didn't know what the hell he was talking about.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And I think that might have been in the backyard.

[DJ Envy]

I was like, what the hell is you saying?

[Angela Yee]

So of course he could play on his age. Just like you, you buying into it. Like you said, that man is 80 years old. He, he, that's what he said.

[DJ Envy]

So why did he sound like that 40 years ago when he was saying he didn't have sexual relations with that woman?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Did he ever answer the question? Because I, I, I didn't get an answer after, like, 10 minutes.

[2 Chainz]

I just turned it up.

[Mimi]

I think he will see people. A lot of people online are giving him credit because he didn't plead the Fifth. So they said when President Trump was deposed, he pled the fifth on literally every question. So whether he answered it or not, he said something.

[2 Chainz]

Right.

[DJ Envy]

And it was 28 years ago. What can you do? We have when he got asked about, should Trump testify?

[2 Chainz]

We have that.

[Mimi]

We don't have what he said. Yeah, if Trump should testify. But he did say that he does believe. He said that Trump never did anything to him that would suggest improper conduct involving Epstein.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah. I just didn't understand why Clinton didn't just say, yes, Trump should have to testify in front of us. Like, like simple and plain. Like, you know, his name has been mentioned in the files tens of thousands of times. Like, DOJ removed pages of him, you know, being accused of heinous things. He lost a civil case, like Hillary said, in regards to the sexual assault. Those are all reasons for President Trump to have to be questioned. So for Bill to say that's, that's up to them to decide.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He don't want no smoke.

[Mimi]

That's what that was giving.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He didn't want no smoke.

[2 Chainz]

That's crazy.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah.

[Mimi]

And really quickly, today is primary day in Texas, so voters are heading to the polls to decide who moves on in November. And so there's some big races on the ballot. So on the Democratic side, on the US Senate race, it's a closely watched match between Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett and State Representative James Talarico. So recent polls shows a very tight contest. Voter turnout will likely decide who advances. And on the Republican side, incumbent Senator John Coryn is facing primary challengers, including Attorney General Ken Paxton and Congressman Wesley Hunt. That's setting up for a very competitive GOP fight. And redistricting is also shaping races, especially in Houston. So the newly rejoined Congressional District 18, that is longtime Congressman Al Green and freshman Congressman Christian Menifee, they're now on the same primary ballot after the maps change and shifted district lines. And that race is drawing major attention in the heart of Houston. So polls open this morning from 7am to 7pm if you are in line at 7, you can still vote. And yes, Texas requires a photo id. So acceptable photo id, Texas driver's license, passport, military id, a handgun license. And if you don't have one, there are supporting documents you can bring, like a utility bill or bank statement, but you'll have to sign something that's called a reasonable impediment declaration at the poll. So you haven't voted yet. Today is the day.

[DJ Envy]

So we have an answer in the morning. Who won? The Texas Project.

[2 Chainz]

Okay.

[Mimi]

We should. We definitely should.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All right. Well, thank you, Mimi.

[Mimi]

Of course. That is your front page news now.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

When we come back, two Chains will be joining us. He has a new book. The voice in my head is God.

[DJ Envy]

Yes, sir. And we're going.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

About to talk. Talk to him next. Don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Lon laros is here as well. We got a special guest in the building.

[DJ Envy]

Yes, indeed. What's up, brother?

[2 Chainz]

How you feeling? How y' all doing? Good morning.

[Angela Yee]

You and the family came ready to be cool. Listen, I love it.

[2 Chainz]

You just waiting on your little.

[Angela Yee]

I'm just saying.

[2 Chainz]

Cause I watched the other interview. You couldn't get one in, right? He was so serious the whole time. So, you know, it's hard. Yo, I rock with your foolishness.

[DJ Envy]

Thank you.

[2 Chainz]

I mean, yeah, we. We were. We just left an AAU circuit with my son and we was in Cincinnati, and they said it was going to be cold there, but it wasn't freezing. But when we came to New York, it was cold.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Today's the only day, too, because the rest of the week we getting like 60, 70 degrees. So today is the only day you can wear that.

[2 Chainz]

God bless you. Cause it's cold, it's cold, it's cold, it's cold in my room it's cold

[DJ Envy]

New Book, the voice in my head is God. I want to ask, what was the intention behind the outfit, the. This morning? Because in the Bury Me Inside the Louis Store chapter, you say every outfit has an intention. So what's the energy other than it was cold?

[2 Chainz]

That's the energy. And it's like, where else can you wear, like, the hat? And, you know, I can't get this off in Atlanta, so this would be the place. And I don't live in Canada, so this would be the place.

[Lauren LaRosa]

The voice in your head said, get that off.

[2 Chainz]

So you go on the rock. This.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The voice in my head is God. New book that's out today. Make sure you go get it if you haven't got it yet. Why was it the time to write this book?

[2 Chainz]

I just think that success without reflection is just noise. You know what I'm saying? Success without giving back is noise. So I'm feeling successful. I think when you live long enough to experience scars, when you've won enough to have the wisdom, you know, then it's time to write a book, in my personal opinion. So growth, maturation. Me, you know, talking about God in this book through my personal experiences, you know, I just felt like after you do. For me, I've done the album, so I've shot my short film, and I'm just ready to take more creative risks. And so this doesn't feel like a risk, because I feel like this could motivate someone, this could help someone. It's not generic. It's not cliche. I hadn't seen any other artists talk about, you know, intuition in the book space. So just some.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The biggest thing. Everybody takes a different part of what they feel that they get out of the book.

[2 Chainz]

Right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

For myself, is. Is your relationship with your dad. And the reason I say that is I have six kids, and I'm always very intentional what I say to my kids. Right. Cause there's a line between being a dad and then there's a line with. With being a human being.

[Angela Yee]

Right?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And I'll explain. So with that relationship with your dad, was there. I know your dad moved in with you. Was those tough conversations to have from the start, him being incarcerated to even that one time when. When, you know, when you got into that incident in Alabama and your dad said, well, go get a gun and go handle it yourself. You know? How were those conversations had? Because I'm sure you wouldn't tell your kids that same thing. Or would you?

[2 Chainz]

You. That's a good question. You know, we've. I think everybody in here have lived through different eras. And, you know, I'm from the boys don't cry era, you know what I'm saying? I'm from the. That. That's weak, that's soft. My dad would say numerous amount of times that he don't think a woman could raise a man, but he. He wouldn't be there, you know what I'm saying? And I turned out to be. I mean, I can't change oil, change tires and stuff like that, you know what I'm saying? Like, somebody might consider some man stuff, but I've cut the grass and done stuff like that, as y' all know, recently. So, I mean, when I think about. It's like he wasn't there to teach me certain things that a man should know. And I learned a lot of things on my own. And, you know, he was my first hero. He's my first somebody you look up to. Whether he was incarcerated or just me hearing stories about him and me just realizing that that DNA is inside of me. Me. So when I passed that on, I think I broke that. That way of thinking. I think it stopped with me. You know, I'm not lenient to why I'm like, man, you can cry anytime you want. But if my son needs to cry about something that's bothering him or hurting, I'm not, like, getting all over him about it. So I think it's just timing and where we are in life right now. I don't know how you are with your kids, but I'm a little bit more sensitive to my kids. And my father was to me because he wanted me to be tough. He didn't. I hear stories, my aunts tell me, like, if I would cry, he didn't want nobody to pick me up. I don't have, like, it's some baby pictures, but, like, all my baby pictures, I'm sitting somewhere, my mom beside me. She's not like, holding me, like, you know what I'm saying? Like, one of the pictures I remember is, like, at a beach. I'm sitting on the hood of a car. I'm a baby. I'm like, not even one. And my mom got on a bathing suit. She right beside me, but it's not really like a picture of someone coddling or anything, but, I mean, I'm okay with that.

[Lauren LaRosa]

What did you learn about your own feelings throughout the whole experience with your dad? So being able to spend time with him and him moving in with you to his passing, because you talk about it very stoically at first, and then you Talk up. And then you. We actually get to hear you talk about finally being able to cry and being able to, like, kind of get in tune with yourself a bit.

[2 Chainz]

Well, his last few years, like, I. Like, I talk about in the book, he's getting out of prison, and, you know, he's in his late 60s, you know what I'm saying? Like, I don't know, he might have been 70 something. So when I go get him, you know, that's when I had a conversation about, man, you ought to move with me. Like, this is just crazy at this point, you know what I'm saying? And the last time he did time, he was probably two or three years, but I just felt like it was time I had my first child and I had a house. And so, you know, I remember stopping and getting him. He wanted to suit. And then I remember stopping at Verizon. He wanted a phone, and he had some money. He had a little money put up, you know, somewhere. And we just talked, and he. He said that he would, you know, he would, you know, think about it. And he end up eventually just, you know, staying with me, which was really cool. It was like we. We started building that relationship. You know, I was so fond of him from a distance because I. You know, when I was young, we got separated. So just being in the same house, me learning his little crazy ways and. And his sarcasm and everything. And so, you know, after he started getting sick, I was going. I was starting it like, this was like, 2012. My dad died in 2012. My first album came out in 2012. I was just so hot at the time. And so Keisha would tell me, like, man, you know, your dad didn't eat today or you need to do something. She'd just tell me, you know what I mean? And he was somebody that didn't want nobody know he was sick. He, like, such a man. He don't want you to know he going through nothing, which is ridiculous. And he went to the hospital one night, you know what I'm saying? I end up going up there with him. I end up staying with him. I gotta, like. I just stayed with him for, like a week or two, you know what I mean? And I have shows that I end up canceling, but I had this one particular show in Savannah which is, like, I don't know, a couple hours from Atlanta. And I'm talking to him, and I'm like, I got this show in Atlanta. You gonna be cool tonight? Like, yeah, yeah, I'm be cool. And then he says, you know, Dope Man, My role model. I had a song called Dope Man, My Role Model, My Mixtape. So he's so sarcastic. I'm like, bro, you straight. You know what I'm saying? He gives me a fist bump and says, do it, Big Epps. That's our last name. I said, okay, cool. I go to Savannah. I don't even get the room. I come back. When I. When I come back here on this breathing thing, I see him, like, boom. But I see him. He, like, looking at me. I feel like he looking at me. You know what I mean? Why he on his breathing thing? And he keep trying to take the tube out his throat, and they keep saying, like, if you. If he takes that out, he could. He could die.

[DJ Envy]

That part was crazy.

[2 Chainz]

You know what I'm saying? So if he take that out, he can die. Now. Now rewind this. I just got my part from prison. So they saying the only way that he cannot take it out is if they handcuff him to the bed. You know what I'm saying? So I say, okay, handcuff. And then I get to thinking, like, something is telling me, like, he don't want to be handcuffed no more. You know what I'm saying? So he handcuffed to the bed. He looking at me and is. You know, he's breathing. And I say, all right, man, you know, take the handcuffs off. Take it off, man. He don't want to be in hand. Handcuff. But as soon as the handcuff come off, he come to try to take the. And they. They telling me if he take it out, it could scratch his.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[2 Chainz]

And so I swear to you, I do that four times. Okay, Put the handcuffs back on. Take the handcuffs back off. Put the handcuffs back on. And. And it's like he just. He not looking straight home, looking to the side like this. You know what I mean? So I try to hold his hand myself personally, like, you know, saying, no, chill. You know what I'm saying? Just chill. He keep, you know, and then, you know, a couple days after that, or not even a day after that, you know what I'm saying? The. The beep started going off, you know what I'm saying? By me staying with them and the nurses, I'm able to run, go get the nurse. You know what I'm saying? Check it out. And they same thing four times. Boom, boom. They hit them, bring them back. They walk out the room, man, look, man, don't you be doing. Run out again. Boom, boom. Do that the fourth time. Now they put me out the room. So I'm looking through the little window, and so the fourth time, the lady come out and she says, you know, I lost my father too. If he come back now, he'll be brain dead. We already broke two ribs. You just gotta let it go. And I was like, that's easier said than done because he just told me. Not only did he tell me, do it big, he told me before I went to Savannah, I'm not gonna die no time soon. It came out his mouth, and he never told me. So I'm like, what. What happened? From the time I went to Savannah, came back. But anyway, that's something that I wouldn't say haunted or traumatized me. I know you're big on therapy or whatever, and, like, this book is my therapy. Like, certain things I do is my therapy. I hadn't actually sat down with someone, and I'm not against people who. Who do or who have. But is it traumatic seeing your father pass? It could be, yeah. But then, like, a few years later, I had a son who reminds me so much of, like, how he moves and his sarcasm as well.

[DJ Envy]

So I got two questions based on what you just said. Did reliving that for the book make you cry again? Because you said that was the first time you remember crying.

[2 Chainz]

Man, I cried so hard when that happened, but not when I was doing it in the book, because I'm just. I didn't. I didn't. I didn't cry while writing the book, I think, because I relived that. That so many times. It wasn't like I buried it and then just brought it back up. Like, I relive my pops passing in front of me. You know, I've done that a few times, so I think we. And then also I see now me talking about it just becomes easier to talk about, you know? I mean, when you keep stuff bottled again or whatever.

[DJ Envy]

And when you said when Halo was born in the book, you. I got to see the picture. That's. I just got to see the picture. You said there was.

[2 Chainz]

I got it.

[DJ Envy]

You got the picture.

[2 Chainz]

Yeah, but I'll be showing it. I show you, though.

[DJ Envy]

I want to see the picture. You said it was a picture of your. Your father. The alarm went off.

[2 Chainz]

All right, so don't even tell the story. All right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's hard to discuss this book because there's so much that you want people to read and see for themselves.

[DJ Envy]

Oh, he just gave away a whole chapter.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I know.

[2 Chainz]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But it was worth it.

[2 Chainz]

So this. This picture all Right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Explain what.

[2 Chainz]

All right, so this is my son. Halo was born 10, 14, 15, right? Me and Keisha was in the hospital, and my mom and my two daughters was at home, and they were in our room in the master bedroom. The alarm went off at home while Halo was coming. Alarm went off, same time. Boom. So while Keisha having Halo, the alarm going off, and my mom is asking me, what's the password to tell the alarm people? Because it's saying motion in the house or whatever. Now, my mom was on the phone saying, I swear. And I'm looking at the cameras, and I don't see. See anything coming into the house. I don't see the doors. I'm looking at all the doors. My mom said I hadn't left the room, so I don't know why the motion going off. I tell her, the cold, it goes off. We have Halo. We come home. All right? We getting our alarm updated. And then Keisha looks at her email. And when you have motion, it takes pictures. It takes snapshots of what the motion is, okay? When we looked at the motion, you could see. You could see somebody. You know what I'm saying? And it was my. It was my father. Now, my father left in 2012. This was 2015. You can see an image. So people that I'm close to, a couple of my friends I'm close to, I showing a picture. I'm like, who it is? Like, man, that's pop right there. I'm like, look at the date. And, like, my friends began big old chill goosebumps or whatever, you know what I'm saying? My father used to walk around the house, like, with his shirt off. He was in good shape to be 70. Like, he wasn't, like, fat and sloppy. He was in the army. So he has something, but I'm gonna find. And so another thing about this. This is my personal opinion. He's so sarcastic that when I used to try to show people, I could not find a picture. So I gave the picture to Keisha. I said, keisha, when I try to show people, it makes me sound like I'm crazy. I don't have to picture Keisha. So we go to Florida one time. I'm not even looking back there. I know she know what I'm talking about. I go to Florida one time. I only got the picture. I can't find it. What happened in Florida with Keisha? You remember? Whatever. Anyway. Anyway, your phone. Her phone fell in. We was.

[DJ Envy]

We was.

[2 Chainz]

She probably don't remember this, but she does remember this. When I said this, but we was on a boat. We got off a boat, and then her phone down there fell in the water. And when her phone fell in the water, I said, damn. That's all. I don't think about the context. I'm like, this is my proof this dementia. This is my proof that that go surreal or whatever. You know what I mean? Boom. Okay, So I get to looking because I know exactly when the date was, because I know when Halo was born. I pull up the picture again. So now I got it. So I give it to my cousin. I'm always with, yeah, outside cat. I gave it a cat. Like, cat, you keep this picture. Boom. So it's. This is crazy. So I go over to yay house, right? And I'm telling him the same story. I'm like, bro, this has happened to me. I'm trying to tell him what happened. And this is, man, you know, I'm the coolest player in the world, man. It's like. Like food around. It's like lemonade, you know what I'm saying? So I can't find a picture. So I say, cat, cat, with my telling, come here, man. Give me the picture of Pops, man, so I can show why he giving me the picture, bro. I'll knock over a big thing of lemonade everywhere on everybody, like, you know what I'm saying? I'm such a player. I ain't never done nothing like that. You know what I'm saying? So in my mind, I'm like, bro, this how my dad is. He like, be on some joking. He had me looking crazy here. I done waste lemonade on everybody at the table. This ain't even nothing I do, you know what I mean? But anyway, way, that's enough of the story. Let me find a picture. All right, here we go right here. Let me see. I. I email myself what cat at

[Charlamagne Tha God]

and why he's looking at the picture,

[2 Chainz]

why he's looking up the picture.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

If you order the book on two chains dot com, you have a chance to win court size.

[2 Chainz]

Two chains Book. Two Chains book dot com.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Two chains Book.

[2 Chainz]

Go to two chains book dot com. I do got a sweepstakes for people. They can sit next to me at a halls game. Oh, dope. Yeah. You know, of course, I'm very close. I come in through the owner's lounge. It's a whole experience. I do have this little side note, this disclaimer, Women, I'm gonna be smelling good. I'm gonna be looking good. If you have a crazy man at home, articulate that to him. Men, I'm not gonna be talking through the whole game. We can talk, but I'm gonna really be watching the game.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, I hope a rapper win. I hope somebody trying to make it listen.

[Lauren LaRosa]

They trying to, like,

[DJ Envy]

sing all your

[Angela Yee]

songs the whole time.

[2 Chainz]

Can you get that picture? Because, you know, I'm trying to show them and, you know what's going on.

[DJ Envy]

Oh, yeah, I see something in the picture.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Oh, wow. That's a whole person.

[DJ Envy]

Yes.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I thought it was going to be, like, not. It's so clear.

[2 Chainz]

That's how he used to walk around his shirt. That's him walking through the kitchen.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Wow. I know you say in the book, too, that you feel like until you had your son, your dad hadn't, like, crossed over to the other side.

[2 Chainz]

That's my assumption. Right. Well, this is my mom. My mom is super, super spiritual. Right. So she was probably like. Like, you know her. Like, he probably come to with me before. You know what I mean? Probably coming over there with me, just, you know, I mean, that's how she kicked it, like, before he left.

[Lauren LaRosa]

But so the voices that you were hearing then, because I know you have been hearing voices in your head and hearing God for a long time. Do you. Do you know which ones might have been your dad because he was there with you, or it was the God connection that you have in you hearing God during that time.

[2 Chainz]

So this experience right here, when this happened, this would have been 2015. I mean, I'm not even sure if I was fully committed to just giving the voice its credit for my success now. That's why I say, when you ask me when it's time to write the book, it's like I've lived and had enough experience and trial and error with listening, not listening, Moving through fear, moving through ego, to let you know, like, this voice, it gotta be God. The reason I call it the voice of God. Cause the voice would be like my intuition. It'll be my. My. My. My alignment. You know what I'm saying? That's. That's what the voice. But when I say God, I know everybody's not into God, but I had to give the credit to somebody higher than myself, you know what I'm saying? For. For this superpower, whatever the hell. Like, for me, I got a real picture of my dad three years after he passed. Like, this is not something. And I don't. It's my first time ever, ever talking about it, feeling comfortable talking about it. Showing somebody that. That I feel like is. Understands, like, a deeper Mean of, like, spirits and everything. Like, because I don't fully understand my father. He, you know, you see, you. They be like, people come to you in dreams. People, you know, do stuff like that. I can't say that he did that. You know what I'm saying? But I can tell you that I do have a divine guidance in me that helps me make decisions, whether it's business decisions, relationship decisions, whatever it is. And it's a voice that could probably be too noisy to certain people, but I. I welcome that voice. So this book is. I put this book together to help somebody and to motivate somebody to shut down the outside noise. And this is also for anybody who's ever said, like, something told me. Like, something told me to get this job or wear this hat or whatever the. Whatever it is. It's like. It's that something told me thing. You know what I'm saying is that. Or something told me, don't go to this place and this happens. Something told me, don't whatever it is, you know, and we've all said when we missed the flight, well, that's God trying to. Maybe I wasn't supposed to get on. You know what I mean? So why can't that inner dialogue be that? Why, why, why? They say God is inside of you, and. And why can't your blessings come from within on how you. You are on the surface, you're a positive person on the surface, then your blessings come from within. This is my experience. This is my opinion.

[DJ Envy]

If that voice in your head told you to walk away from rap tomorrow, would you listen?

[2 Chainz]

That's a great question. Because I love rap music so much, and I figured, like, if he know I love it, he wouldn't do. He wouldn't do that. You know what I'm saying? I love it. And one of the things I love about it is that I still have good ideas, whether for me or anybody else, when I say ideas, not just in rap, but after the rap, the marketing, the title, the fonts, shades. Like, I'm into all, like, Even this right here. This is a black artist named Darice. He's dope, man. He's just like. He's not with a gallery anything. Therese Walker. I found him online. He does this little, like, pastel dope. This is art. It's like he drew this of me. This is not a picture. He drew this whole thing. And I just, like. I just like. I don't know, curating dope stuff.

[DJ Envy]

So you can still do that without rap. If God said 2 chance I want you to put them.

[2 Chainz]

If I heard him as clear as you saying it, yeah, I probably would. Because I feel like he got something bigger for me. And so he wants me to probably start going to sleep at night, getting up early or something like that, which I haven't done. And since my father passed, I sleep in the daytime. I don't even sleep at night.

[DJ Envy]

So you're writing books now? You got the podcast?

[2 Chainz]

You know, me and Halo. Me and Halo podcast. Make sure y' all check them out that out.

[Angela Yee]

What do you do at night then? If you like, what are you doing?

[2 Chainz]

You just said, like, what are you

[Angela Yee]

doing if you're not sleeping? You know, you just do.

[2 Chainz]

I sleep at night, y'. All.

[Angela Yee]

No.

[2 Chainz]

Damn. What time I go to sleep?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Six, seven.

[DJ Envy]

I go to Caleb, like, Disconnect.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I got kids when they say they just yell it out. It is what it is.

[2 Chainz]

Halo told me we was retiring it this year. I think he said on the podcast, like, we had to let it go or something for some reason, he moved on, man. Yeah. Yeah. But I go to sleep around 6, 6, or 7, and then I get up around what time I get up? 12.

[DJ Envy]

1.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Is that cause of your music artist life? Cause a lot of artists are like that too, where they're up on.

[2 Chainz]

I've been doing that ever since the kids known me.

[DJ Envy]

Okay.

[2 Chainz]

Harmony 13.

[Angela Yee]

What are you doing? Are you thinking? Like, are you writing? Are you in?

[2 Chainz]

I'm in. I'm in a studio space, and I'm doing something ambitious to help my career go further. And that is the time when all the noise is shut off for me. All the people that I love should be in the bed, sleep. I don't receive phone calls that late. Nobody calling me saying they need it. I can actually concentrate on the task at hand, whatever that is. And those are my hours that I can just lock in from probably 12 to 6 or something like that. I started working at night around 11 to 12. From 12 to 6 is really just really, really my time. Really me time. I don't have to worry about. You know what I'm saying? I mean, of course I worry about people, but it's just really my time. I don't have anything else on my mind but me and the task at hand.

[Angela Yee]

And that's therapeutic for you?

[2 Chainz]

That's so therapeutic for me. I wouldn't know what to do. Like, Keisha hates when at home that in those times because. Because she trying to sleep. Yeah. And I'm moving around up and man, just the other day, I Was just doing the most craziest stuff, man. Because I had to be up at 7. So I'm like, man, do I go to sleep or do I just stay up to seven? So I'm trying to figure it out. She's like, what you doing home? Next thing you know, she look at me. I'm staring at the window like Malcolm X. I'm just looking at the window and I'm saying stuff like this, this. I really need some asphalt so I can. I'm just looking at stuff at the house. I'm just looking at the driveway. I need to do this roundabout over. I'm looking at the tennis court. We got the light out there on the court. I'm looking. I'm like, man, we should use this more often. We just. But my mind and my. Like, I'm not sleepy. I'm not tired. I'm not yawning because my body trained. I'm almost like a newborn. I'm trained to sleep from like seven to five. I mean, I'm sorry. Five hours, seven to 12.

[DJ Envy]

I'm.

[2 Chainz]

I'm trying to sleep like that long for the longest, like, literally since 2012, since my pop died. I hadn't really slept at night type stuff.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, well, the book is out today. Make sure you pick two chains. Voice in my head is, God, are

[2 Chainz]

[Angela Yee]

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So I got up.

[Angela Yee]

I ain't have enough time for that. So I was like, you know what? I'm gonna wear my hat to go

[2 Chainz]

[Angela Yee]

Hell, yeah.

[2 Chainz]

What Made you get. Put that one on. I don't know.

[Angela Yee]

I like the bunny ears. Y' all want to go with the little suit and go with the, you know, the bodysuit? I just got these new Nikes. I know they cool.

[2 Chainz]

You courting. It was part of your coordination.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah.

[2 Chainz]

Okay. My dog, give me an example of something told you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I told him that today I'm learn how to ski today.

[2 Chainz]

Something told you. Like you just sitting there like, man, I. You know, it is.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

My son snowboards and. And I took him to on. On the mountain the other day and I felt bad because I couldn't go with him on the mountain because I don't know how to go snowboard or ski. So I was like, you know what? I'm gonna learn how to ski so next time we go, I can get

[2 Chainz]

on that mountain some good father son time to get.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Absolutely.

[2 Chainz]

Yeah.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Something told me I need to go back home this weekend, spend more time with my family.

[2 Chainz]

I love that.

[DJ Envy]

Something told me that Two Chains had an amazing book that he needed to get published.

[2 Chainz]

And that's why. You in on it?

[DJ Envy]

That's right.

[2 Chainz]

Black Effect.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Hold on. You knew you wanted to write a book, but did you go to him and say, hey, it's time, or did. How did that happen?

[2 Chainz]

No, he just knew I'm a successful black dude, so he tried to cap in on my success. He know I'm a winner. Why else would you.

[Lauren LaRosa]

No. Cuz he be having his little things.

[DJ Envy]

Two changes to plug. I wouldn't have Crystal franchises if it wasn't for.

[Lauren LaRosa]

And people don't talk enough about you and your involvement in the Crystal franchise.

[2 Chainz]

Man, my involvement in my involvement in the culture is crystal crazy.

[Lauren LaRosa]

You know what I'm saying?

[2 Chainz]

I am the Pinterest. I am the mood board for a lot of stuff going on. I'm humble and quiet sometimes a lot of the times. But I can see how what my influence has done for even my whole city, like, man, listen. Esco and the Esco franchise. Ten years I owned the dirt. Five years before I started running the business on it vertically. Candyland. There's no other person my age, my demographic that owns a. My demographic that owns adult entertainment. You, you, you. To get a permit to be nude and have alcohol is. They stopped issuing those in 1993. You have to buy those for an extremely high price from somebody who sets it. A lot of the. Even the G League team being connected to the Atlanta Hawks, you know what I'm saying? Even having an association with that, it's just A lot of things that I see that I try to open up, like in this book and let my peers know, like, this is what's going on and, and this is how I'm even making these business decisions based off, like, of course I have a lawyer, I have management, but I got this voice going on with me too. But I do have the Crystal situation. Shout out to Jonathan. Just shout out to everybody that I became partners with. I think collaborating is a good thing, not only in music, but in business, too. And my secret to that is finding someone that's passionate in whatever you're trying to do and collaborate with and then you can have. Have success in the field. So I said to say that the person I'm collaborating with at Esco, they're. They're passionate about the hospitality space. They don't have a special seasoning or sauce. It's bigger than that. You got to know this space. The person that I'm in the strip club visit is passionate about that business. So it just. And Jonathan is passionate about crystals, and this man is passionate about giving back to our community. So that's how a lot of things lie.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, there you have it. It's two chains, ladies and gentlemen. Get the book today.

[2 Chainz]

Thank you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Let's get right to the latest with Lauren.

[DJ Envy]

You're talking.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah. I'm not dumbing myself down. I'm being myself. I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about everything and everything.

[Angela Yee]

Little brown girls look at you and

[Lauren LaRosa]

go, I want to be like you.

[Angela Yee]

Take me through that.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Take me through there.

[2 Chainz]

Where's she going? The latest with Lauren on the Breakfast Club.

[DJ Envy]

LL Cool B. Talk to me. You do look like somebody. Auntie this morning. I think they clairvoyant.

[Angela Yee]

Oh, my God.

[DJ Envy]

Be doing fake readings in the hood. You know what I'm saying? But you just nosy, so you know a little bit of gossip, hearing that. So you be repeating stuff back that you heard. Girl, he. People think you psychic.

[Angela Yee]

He has been on your head since you.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Exactly.

[DJ Envy]

Good morning, though.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Good morning. So this side, we're going to get into white men. All right?

[DJ Envy]

You love them. This used to be your favorite topic when you first got here.

[Lauren LaRosa]

It's been like two, three years. We looked up that old audio and it was from like 2023 that you

[DJ Envy]

used to like white men back then.

[Lauren LaRosa]

All right, so let's get into it. So first up, Chet Hanks. Okay, so Chat Haynes, who is the son of Tom Hanks. He had posted a Video talking about being stuck abroad while traveling. Let's take a listen to Chet Hanks.

[DJ Envy]

I go to Puerto Rico last week for my homie Max's birthday. Then I'm in Puerto Rico and we're all about to leave. I go, I'm only, you know, two, three hours away from Medellin. Why don't I go pull up on my homie Taylor who lives in Medellin? I'm traveling with my Greek passport because I'm a dual citizen. Reason I didn't use my American passport is because it's about to expire. And sometimes they don't let you in the country, even if it hasn't expired, but it's about to expire. So I take my Greek passport, supposed to leave today. I go to the airport to check in my flight. They tell me me that if I'm using a foreign passport, I need a green card to get back into America. I don't have a green card because I'm an American citizen. I don't have my American passport with me. So I'm literally stuck in Colombia. I'm stuck in Medellin, but I literally have no idea what I'm going to do. And the only embassy to get this settled is in Bogota. Nope. Chad, they saw them videos. Are you doing that patois? They said he ain't no American citizen. No, no, no, no, no.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Well, there was some conversation. Maybe the reason why he was having issues in the passport situation was because his dad, Tom Hanks, and told you that yesterday. Have had. But I also saw you did tell me that yesterday. You can get your credit, sis. I also saw a Fox News report that mentioned it as well as well too. So when I asked him about it, he says that no, there is nothing. What did you ask? I asked Chad Hanks.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You called him?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, I called Chad Hanks.

[DJ Envy]

You know she got Chad Hanks number, right? Right.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I have so many numbers all the time up here. And y' all make that one a big deal.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So you call chess ahead.

[Angela Yee]

Hey.

[Lauren LaRosa]

He said, no, no. I said, hey. I said, hey, this is Lauren LaRosa from the Breakfast Club. He said, how'd you get my number? I was like, yeah. I was like, we did a story a long time ago. I booked him for something at tmz. That's how I had his number. So anyway, so he told.

[DJ Envy]

Are you blushing?

[Lauren LaRosa]

I'm not blushing. I'm wearing. So I asked him, first of all, I asked him, was he. Was he all right? He said he was. He was straight. He said that he actually had figured it out. Even though everything's not all the way cleared up with immigration, he had. He has his u. S. Passport on the way. I asked him, why would you even leave the passport even if the date was expired? Like that's just not smart. He said, I admit it wasn't smart, won't do it again. But he said, but, you know, that's true though.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

If your passport expires in a certain period, they will not let you travel or come back. You have to have it. I think it's within like a month or two or two months or something.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I don't like ugly.

[Angela Yee]

But even crazy though, because if it's allowed to expire as long as the date is not on that date, then

[Lauren LaRosa]

you should still be able to travel. If it were me, I would just take all the. The documents I have, right? But he says, yeah, he's still clearing things up with immigration, but he is able to get a flight out and leave. He wouldn't tell me when the actual flight was leaving. I think cuz he wants to make sure he can actually do it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Makes it.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, yeah. But I did reach back out, spoke about flights.

[DJ Envy]

You in chat.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Stop playing with me. I did reach back out this morning to see if he had booked a flight or like whatever. And. And I haven't heard back.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You checked up on him?

[Lauren LaRosa]

I wanted to cuz he's a human

[Angela Yee]

being and you're a human being as well. Worried about safety, I don't know.

[DJ Envy]

Talk. She was like, here, talk.

[Lauren LaRosa]

No, cuz he was so excited. He said he's a big fan of Charlemagne and he wanted to come up here. And I said, I can't guarantee you coming up here. And then Charlemagne walked out. I said, oh, actually here goes the little man. I gave you the phone.

[DJ Envy]

He was, yo, this girl been talking about you for two years.

[Lauren LaRosa]

That's a lie. Can we, can, can we clear that up? Okay, I was actually talking about Travis Kelce in here and I pulled that audio cuz y' all going to stop killing me. You pissing me off. So Justin Timberlake is in the.

[DJ Envy]

Oh my God. Wow.

[Lauren LaRosa]

He is doing the whitest thing ever. He is suing the police department, so. Well, actually he's suing the town of sag harbor. It's a town in long island. And Justin Timberlake is suing them because he wants to stop the release of the footage from when he was arrested for that dwi. So for those who don't remember, Justin Timberlake was arrested back in June of 2024. He was pulled over because he was swerving lanes. And police say that when they pulled him over, he wasn't able to follow instructions, even though he only said he had one drink. That led to him having to plead guilty, even though he pled not guilty in the beginning. Doing some community service. But basically, now there is a bunch of media outlets who put in a FOIA request. And a FOIA request is where you. You can put in a request and say, hey, I work for this outlet. I want to get this video. Because a lot of times those things are public information because you. You wanting to be able to see how the agency, the police department are doing their jobs. Justin Timberlake's attorneys are like, no, you can't put that out because it's going to make him look vulnerable. He's in a vulnerable state. It's going to reveal intimate details. There's no legitimate public interest or reason.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

If it goes out for everybody, by

[DJ Envy]

the way, nobody will care unless you on there. W. He's probably doing some type of

[Charlamagne Tha God]

crazy dances on the line. They'd be like, walk the line.

[DJ Envy]

Like.

[Angela Yee]

But didn't he say when that first came out and everything like that? He had been struggling with L's disease, so he's been acting out.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, he said he had a lot going on at the time.

[DJ Envy]

Had L. Tequila, man, he was drinking, man. He had like, nobody's going to care.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Just his attorney said that this is going to. This could harm his personal and professional reputation, sponsorships.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The fact that it went away to come back out and you see the

[Lauren LaRosa]

fact that you were drinking and drinking that. The fact that they alleged that you were drinking and driving would do that already.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's been quiet.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Okay.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It'll come back out and it'll hit the press.

[DJ Envy]

Nobody will care unless he's on there wild and saying something crazy. That's it. But nobody will care.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Well, yeah, so we'll see what happens there. And I. I think it'll put more attention on people because now you got to look up what is the request. And when you look it up, it tells you how to request it. So now more outlets are going to do it.

[2 Chainz]

So.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yes. But as we wrap, I think you

[DJ Envy]

have any news about white men.

[Angela Yee]

And that was my favorite one.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Wonder when he was ready to do Jim Carrey. Yes, we'll get to Jim Carrey in the next latest because no black news.

[Angela Yee]

No, Jim Curry is a little black. Don't do that. Go ahead.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I do have some black news.

[Angela Yee]

No, no, he started with the blacks and started.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Okay, okay. Yes.

[Angela Yee]

I love Jim Crow.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Couldn't wait for Black History Month to be over.

[Lauren LaRosa]

All right.

[DJ Envy]

We're gonna talk about Floyd, too. She couldn't wait.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She couldn't wait.

[DJ Envy]

I mean, she was waiting, but she's so happy. It's the shortest month of the year.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Jesus.

[2 Chainz]

All right, Shut up.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So, man, we give you a dog or two, man.

[DJ Envy]

Before, after the hour. We need Bill Clinton to come to the front of the congregation. We like to have a word with him. Okay.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Speaking of. Oh, he's a little black, too.

[DJ Envy]

No, he's not.

[Caller]

Stop doing it.

[DJ Envy]

What's up with y', all, man?

[2 Chainz]

No, he's not.

[DJ Envy]

None of these people are a little black. There's no such thing.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Bill was sitting there yesterday.

[Angela Yee]

Y' all said that about Eminem.

[DJ Envy]

We ain't never say that about no goddamn Eminem. That was Snoop Dogg.

[Angela Yee]

My bad.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All right, man. Donkey the days. Up next, it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

[2 Chainz]

Made it.

[DJ Envy]

This is a miracle. There is no question that there are problems in this country between police and community. Yes, you are a donkey. To the latest on that police killing of a black man.

[Mimi]

Now to new developments in the deadly spa shooting rampage.

[DJ Envy]

And yesterday was a really bad day for him, and this is what he did.

[Lauren LaRosa]

And so we are in a state of emergency.

[DJ Envy]

Okay? White supremacist violence is always has been the number one one threat to our society.

[2 Chainz]

But I'm also very proud that my wife is white.

[Angela Yee]

Charlene, please tell me, why was I

[DJ Envy]

your donkey of the day? Donkey of the day for Tuesday, March 3, goes to William Jefferson Clinton, aka Bill. Okay? The 42nd president of the United States of America. If you don't know, yesterday the Clinton's deposition videos from the Epstein files came out, and, boy, were they entertaining. Okay, well, the deposition videos about. About everything in the Epstein files came out, and they were very entertaining. Okay? There's one video where you can see President Clinton flipping through old Epstein photos, smiling from ear to ear, nodding his head, reminiscing about old times. Okay? His attorney had to pull the photos away from him, and Bill Clinton pulled him back. Like, let me get another look, man. I could see it in his eyes. He was thinking, I was a wild boy. Okay? There's another part of the deposition session where Congresswoman Nancy Mace of South Carolina said, hey, Bill, I heard you like him young. And Bill manual. Bill malfunctioned, okay? There was a glitch in the matrix.

[Angela Yee]

Let's listen Epstein cases that Epstein said

[Mimi]

you, quote, like them young. Why would Epstein Say that about you?

[Angela Yee]

Are you asking his opinion? You're asking him to think about why Mr. Epstein would say something.

[DJ Envy]

Why would Epstein say that?

[Angela Yee]

She's asking you to try to be in Mr. Epstein, Epstein's mind and guess

[Mimi]

at what Mr. Epstein would have thought

[Angela Yee]

about likes them young, referring to girls.

[DJ Envy]

First of all, that's not true. What's not true? That I have any interest in underage.

[Angela Yee]

I didn't say underage. I said, I said young.

[DJ Envy]

But it's still not true.

[Mimi]

Is an intern young?

[DJ Envy]

Yes, Bill, Nancy is right, okay? She didn't say underage. She said young. You volunteered the underage part. That was the line he was rehearsing preparing for this deposition. Okay. I did not have sexual relations with underage women. But Nancy said young. And then she said, is an intern young? Referring to Monica Lewinsky because Monica was 22 years old when she began her relationship with Bill Clinton and he was 49. So Young doesn't mean underage. But that's not why we are gathered here today. We are gathered here today because Bill Clinton is getting the biggest. He haw for the waist. He punted. The simple question, should Trump testify in front of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee? Simple question. Should Donald Trump have to testify in front of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee in regards to the Epstein files? Listen to his answer when asked that

[Charlamagne Tha God]

question to get more information for this investigation. Was wondering if you also agree that that President Trump should answer questions of this conviction committee.

[DJ Envy]

That's for you to decide. To get more information. That's all you got? That's for you to decide. Now compare that to when Hillary Clinton was asked, should Trump testify in front of the House Oversight Committee to get more information? Let's listen.

[Angela Yee]

Absolutely. I was a lawyer. As a lawyer, you would look for pattern and practice if you were deposing a witness in a case that you were trying. If you were in court.

[DJ Envy]

Court.

[Angela Yee]

What did you know about this person? Donald Trump has been held civilly liable for sexual assault by a jury of his peers. He has also been convicted on 34 felony counts for attempting to hide his relationship with a escort. Given past and prior conduct, he would be on my witness list.

[DJ Envy]

Not only did she say yes, absolutely, she gave an explanation as to why it is a yes. One of these things is not like the other. Hillary gave the answer. Okay? That is the actual answer. What Bill Clinton did was cowardly. Alright, that's up to you to decide. Sure, Bill, you're right. It is up to them to decide. But can you at least explain why you think they should. Yes, President Trump should have to testify in front of the House Committee for all the reasons Hillary just laid out, not to mention for the amount of times his name has been mentioned in the files and because it was revealed that the DOJ withheld Epstein files, mentioned Trump. They're just trying to get information. Okay, that's it. They're just trying to get more information. So for Bill to say it's up to them to decide is cowardly. Okay. They called your wife into a deposition and questioned her and she said she didn't know Epstein couldn't even recall meeting him. Meanwhile, someone who was his actual friend mentioned in the files as much as President Trump, you know, has, you know, in front of Republicans.

[Angela Yee]

Yes.

[DJ Envy]

Who support him, you, you couldn't say, yes, he should have to testify. And here are the reasons why. I guess it's hard to do that when you too worried about making sure your own dirt stays under the rug. Okay. See, when political figures start answering a yes or no question like it's an essay prompt, it's because the real answer is either A, politically inconvenient or B, they trying to save their own ass and don't want to throw the current president under the bus because they know he's crazy enough to get them arrested. Okay, if you testified and your wife testified, testified, why would it be so hard for President Trump to have to testify? Especially Bill, if what you said here is true. Let's listen. I hate this, but because I don't believe I should inject anything, but I do not want to leave the impression, since there was no follow up question, he never, the president never, this is 20 something years ago, never said anything to me to make me think he was involved in anything improper with regard to Epstein either. He, he just didn't. That's the truth. You know, as I said earlier, the only conversation I had with President Trump about this was in the early 2000s. And I have no information that he did anything wrong. I just want it all out there. I want everybody to get it all out there and let everybody see. So if you want it all out there, then why shouldn't he come testify? If he never said anything to you to make you think he was involved with Epstein, then let him come testify. What are, what you are witnessing here is the fact that, as George Carlin said, this is one big club and we not in it. Okay? If you believe in accountability, it shouldn't depend on whose jersey the person is wearing. And in this moment, President Clinton And President Trump are wearing the same jersey. Okay. President Clinton is doing some heavy blocking for President Trump right here. Because when former presidents start punting on basic questions about testimony for current presidents, that's not being neutral. That's elite solidarity. Please give President Clinton the biggest hee haw. Yes, indeed.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

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

[DJ Envy]

Yes, ma'. Am.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Me and Keisha was in the hospital, and my mom and my two daughters was at home. The alarm went off at home while Halo was coming. And I'm looking at the cameras, and I don't see anything coming into the house. I don't see the doors. I'm looking at all the doors. My mom said I hadn't left the room, so I don't know why the motion going off. And then Keisha looks at her email. And when you have motion, it takes pictures. It takes snapshots of what the motion is, okay? When we looked at the motion, you could see. You could see somebody. You know what I'm saying? And it was my. It was my father.

His new book, the voice in my head is God. And he was talking about him seeing a ghost or a spirit. Let's listen.

[2 Chainz]

Me and Keisha was in the hospital, and my mom and my two daughters was at home. The alarm went off at home while Halo was coming. And I'm looking at the cameras, and I don't see anything coming into the house. I don't see the doors. I'm looking at all the doors. My mom said I hadn't left the room, so I don't know why the motion going off. And then Keisha looks at her email. And when you have motion, it takes pictures. It takes snapshots of what the motion is. Okay? When we looked at the motion, you could see. You could see somebody. You know what I'm saying? And it was my. It was my father. Now, my father left in 2012. This was 2015. You can see an image. So, wow. People that I'm close to, a couple of my friends I'm close to. I showing a picture, I'm like, who it is. Like, that's part right there. I like, look at the date and, like, my friends be getting big old chill goosebumps or whatever, you know what I'm saying?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So we're asking 800-585-1051, have you seen a ghost or a spirit now? Charlemagne. You said you see them all the time.

[DJ Envy]

I mean, listen, if you've read any of my books, you know, I talk about this type of stuff all the time. I don't even know where to be begin. Okay, which ghost story you want? Right?

[Angela Yee]

The best one.

[DJ Envy]

I mean, they're all good. They're ghosts. I got chased by a ghost one time. You wasn't scared that time? I was scared, but the reason I was scared because 3 o' clock in the morning. And, you know, I grew up on this long dirt road, and I got dropped off at the end of my dirt road. And so I'm walking down the dirt road and something just said, start walking a little bit faster. So I started walking a little bit faster, and something said, start jogging. So I start jogging. Then something say, haul ass. I just took off running. And when I look back, I saw these little footprints.

[Angela Yee]

Oh, God.

[DJ Envy]

Coming after me in the dirt. And I was like, oh shoot. And right before I jumped to get in my yard, I felt something grab me on the shoulder and I scream. I'm knocking on the door. I opened the door and I think it was my sister, somebody. She's like, what's wrong with you, boy? You saw a ghost? I said, I think so.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Damn.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, okay. And then I slept real good that night, cuz I was on hash. But here's the thing. But no, it was. But no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. But it was real. It was real real. Another time, another time, I was going down this road. I was riding my bike on Old Whitesville Road In Mon Corner, S.C. there's a graveyard on Old Wield Road. When I'm passing the graveyard, like as I'm approaching the graveyard, I smelled like cigarette smoke. And I'm like, damn, somebody smoking. So I'm looking around, but I don't see nobody. And then as I'm passing the graveyard, I look to the left and I just saw a guy sitting there smoking a cigarette. Like, just smoking it, smoking. I'm like, damn, okay, well, you know, peace. He ain't say nothing. So I just keep rolling, riding. Then as I look back, all I see is the light from the cigarette smoke. But then the light turned into like this blue orb and the blue orb started chasing me on my bike and I just was pedaling hard as hell getting to my destination.

[Angela Yee]

A graveyard.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah.

[Angela Yee]

Damn. So we wasn't even there. That was somebody there who just wanted to smoke.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Was that. Was you gonna hash a weed that time?

[DJ Envy]

No, I wasn't high that time.

[2 Chainz]

Damn.

[Angela Yee]

Okay, well I personally never seen. No, I've never seen ghosts. I've never, never felt any ghost presence or anything.

[DJ Envy]

Why doesn't God like you?

[Angela Yee]

I know, I don't know. That's so crazy because I know all ghosts are not bad. But I've never seen good ones and I've never seen any bad ones either. You know. Now my cousin London, London has seen them before. She's felt ghostly presence. But she always say she's never afraid either. Even when we were younger, we used to live together. She would see them all the time. And she was scared the hell out of me because I couldn't see what she see. But she would be talking to them and everything and I never thought she was crazy. I believe in them. I just haven't had an encounter and a direct encounter myself.

[DJ Envy]

We surrounded by spirits right now. You got a bunch of your ancestors and guides around you right now?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Absolutely. Yes. Mine was. I feel spirits around all the time. But this time was Gia's birthday, and I don't remember when it was. It was like, I would say maybe five, six years ago. And I bought all these balloons for her birthday. And we went upstairs and she was saying that she misses her dad. And we were just talking about her dad. Now, mind you, the balloons were downstairs in the kitchen. And she was just like, I just, you know, I just want to tell him I love him one more time. I just wish I could see him one more time. And we were sitting there and no lie. The balloons from the kitchen went all the way up the stairs, all the way up the stairs, made a left, went down the hall to the corridor in our bedroom and came in there. And it said, happy Birthday. As we were talking about her dad.

[DJ Envy]

Nobody stopped the ball balloons. Oh, so they were. They were down, so nobody downstairs.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So it was like. It was like your spirit saying, yeah, you know, I love you. I'm still here with you. And we freaked out.

[Angela Yee]

Did she feel, oh, okay, we did.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, we. We absolutely, positively did feel.

[DJ Envy]

She asked. That's what she wanted for her birthday, God gave her. But think about it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The balloons came from the kitchen.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Down the hall, up the stairs. It could have made a left or right. Made a left into our room, and it was right in our room.

[DJ Envy]

That's fire.

[Angela Yee]

My dad's presence. Wow.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I was.

[DJ Envy]

I was shook.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I ain't going to lie. I said, Jesus Christ. But, yeah, definitely did that.

[Angela Yee]

So, ghost, please come find me. I love y'.

[2 Chainz]

All.

[Angela Yee]

I don't know, like, I want to have an experience.

[DJ Envy]

I know some ghost that's going to haunt your ass.

[Angela Yee]

No, no, no, no, no, no. Not the wrong ones, please.

[DJ Envy]

That's going to be the funny part. You ain't going to know why this young man is standing in your room.

[Angela Yee]

No, please.

[DJ Envy]

Remember what you said about us.

[2 Chainz]

Call that.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Hi.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Hey, good morning, Paulette.

[DJ Envy]

Where you calling from?

[Angela Yee]

Good morning.

[Caller]

Hi, good morning. I'm calling from Las Vegas.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Hey, from Vegas. Talk to us. You seen a ghost or spirit?

[Caller]

This is what it is. My mom died in 2018, and her baby sister died like two years later. And so we went to the funeral. And this is 12 noon, Miami. So after the service, we went over behind. Stood behind my mom's tombstone and took a picture of me and my daughter. And once we got back home later in the evening, we were looking through pictures. I kid you guys not. There was a light coming out of the sky, shining right on my mom's tombstone. And this was. This is 12 in the afternoon.

[DJ Envy]

No.

[2 Chainz]

Yeah.

[Caller]

So I know it was my mom's spirit. And when it happened, this is my first time getting through. So when it happened way back in 2020, I kept calling you guys, kept calling you guys. I wanted to email y' all the picture. I was so. I was scared, but I was excited at the same time, and I can never get through. But it was a time and place for everything.

[DJ Envy]

That's right, man. This is. This is a blessing.

[Caller]

Yes, it is. Yes, it is.

[DJ Envy]

And you. And listen, that should make you happy. Like, we should be happy that, you know, we know that there's, you know, something else after this and that our. Our people are still looking over us.

[Mimi]

Oh, yeah.

[Caller]

I'm very, very happy. But my mom know I'm a scary cat, too, so I think that was the way of her showing me it was possible, because I don't want no coming in the house and interacting. I don't want none of that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So. Yes.

[Caller]

And I'm sorry I didn't want to say hi to y'.

[DJ Envy]

All.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's all right. Good morning.

[Caller]

I like listening to you guys, and y' all have a blessed day.

[DJ Envy]

Thank you very much. We appreciate you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

800-585-1051. Have you seen a spirit or ghost? Now, this conversation comes from two chains was here earlier and was talking about he's seen his father one night. Hello. What's your name?

[Caller]

My name is Katrina.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Katrina.

[DJ Envy]

What's Katrina?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Talk to us. What. What have you seen?

[Caller]

So I have a little boy who follows me, and I feel like he's been following us since maybe 2010, 2011. So I'm from Chesapeake, and I used to live in the Cradock area of Portsmouth. And I was standing with a friend, and one day I was getting dressed, and I was looking in the mirror, and the mirror was, like, facing her bathroom, and I was looking in the mirror, and I was like, what in the world is that sitting in the bathroom? So I kept looking. I kept looking in the mirror. And then something in me was like, okay, don't be scared. Turn around. And so I stood there for a second, and I turned around, and it was still standing there. And so I've seen it again in other places that I've lived, and I've seen it recently where I live now. Same little boy. He never grows up. It's weird.

[DJ Envy]

I'll tell you one thing that would scare the hell out of me if I had an abortion. If I had an abortion. And then I kept seeing this little boy follow me.

[Angela Yee]

Oh, my God, Mommy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like, that's crazy. It was a little white boy.

[Caller]

Never in my life.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It was a white boy, a black boy.

[Caller]

I'm African American, and he's like, seven or eight.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's really weird, a little white boy chasing other. Scary.

[DJ Envy]

You should. You should talk. You should talk to somebody about that. Like, I wonder why. I wonder why he's following you. I wonder what the connection is.

[Caller]

I wonder what the connection is, too, because I have my own. I can be taking care of a little, you know, spirit to you.

[Angela Yee]

But you can't just. But you can't just talk to it. Like, you can't just talk to. You can't just say, hey, like, show me what. Okay.

[Caller]

I'm not that brave.

[Angela Yee]

I'm not that brave. Okay.

[DJ Envy]

Okay. Hey. I don't think y'. All. We.

[Caller]

I just look and I make sure he don't, you know, do nothing crazy. And I just turn my head and go about my business.

[DJ Envy]

Hey, we don't realize how funny we are as black people. I got my own kids. I ain't got time to be the kids. What the hell? Hey, yo.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Hello. Who's this?

[Caller]

Jessica.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Hey, Jessica, talk to us. You see the ghost or spirit? Good morning.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yes.

[Caller]

Ever since I was a little girl, my grandmother had passed. And before my other grandmother had passed, I was brushing my teeth, and I literally saw them standing behind me in the mirror.

[DJ Envy]

Who? Your grandparents?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yes.

[Caller]

So it was my nana who passed first, and then my great grandmother was going to pass. And this was two years after my nana had already died.

[DJ Envy]

That's a blessing. Like, it's a blessing to know that our ancestors are still right there and they got our.

[Angela Yee]

But they be playing, though, because why would they show up in the mirror? Like, at least wait for me to go in the bedroom, you know?

[DJ Envy]

Because she's probably scared.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You were scared, though, wasn't you?

[Angela Yee]

At first I was.

[Caller]

I was seeing them ever since I was a little girl, until this day. I'm 31, and I still see all of the spirits walking around me. Even my kids see them.

[DJ Envy]

It sound like you calling from Charleston. You from Charleston? Wow.

[Caller]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Oh, okay. 843 all day. I mean, that's regular for us, though. Like, we see spirits all day in the Lord country, so thank you. Yes, man.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Right?

[DJ Envy]

That was. Hey, let me ask you a question. Do dreams count? Because, you know, I be having. You know, my. My people visit me in my dreams as well.

[Angela Yee]

Now, I've had that experience Like, I've dreamed about, you know, my grandmother, you know, my cousin, even one of my friends that OD'd in high school. I was best friends with this guy who OD'd in high school. He was the first one to give me some drugs. And he was real, real cool, though. He was very troubled. And he passed away. Like, he OD'd at a party we was having one day, and in my dreams, he was telling me somebody laced the drugs that we took, you know, and that's how he ended up. Oh, damn. Like, he passed at a party that y' all had. Yeah, it was. He used to throw these razors.

[DJ Envy]

You didn't go to the police. The man, the. The man literally came back from the dead to tell you that a crime was committed and you didn't go tell the police?

[Angela Yee]

No, he ain't tell me who it was. I woke up before he told me what it was.

[DJ Envy]

That's how the investigation supposed to start. You supposed to at least go to the police and say, look, somebody laced out drugs, right? This is how my homeboy died. And then an investigation supposed to start.

[Angela Yee]

You think my black ass was going to march into the.

[2 Chainz]

The.

[Angela Yee]

The precinct in a predominantly white town and say, they going to be like, no, she did it. Lock her up. Like, you know, I can't. You're right, I can't. But that has happened in form of a dream. But I want to experience what. What y' all experience. Like, yo, I want to see my grandmother. I want her to communicate with me.

[DJ Envy]

I actually like the dreams better, and I'll tell you why. I've had. I've had physical encounters with spirits. I've had. In the dream, the spirits actually talk to you. Like, I remember having one dream dream after my grandmother passed. I was dreaming that I was sitting in her house and she was. She was young, like young girl, like a younger woman. And she was talking to me about my niece who had just been born. And she was like, oh, yeah, I saw her. Blah, blah, blah, this and that. That's the last time I've ever had any communication with my grandmother since she passed. And then, like, you know, people like Jazz Fly. Jazz Fly has visited me in a dream.

[Angela Yee]

It's your friend, right?

[2 Chainz]

Yep.

[DJ Envy]

My girl, Michelle Austin Restaurant peace to both of them that she visited me in a dream and we were having, like full blown conversations about things that were happening in the present world in real time. Yes. Like, so. So I actually like the dreams better because they communicate with you in the dreams.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All right, well, what's the moral of the story, if there is a moral?

[DJ Envy]

Moral of the story is keep your eyes open.

[Angela Yee]

Ghosts are real. That's the moral of the story. Ghosts are real. And it's not only bad ghosts.

[DJ Envy]

And all of them know you be lying. That's the crazy part. They all know you be lying because you just told us you ain't never met that night. You know what I'm saying?

[Angela Yee]

No, I know, but I'm saying they are real. I do believe in them. I'm not saying I don't believe in them. I'm saying I do believe in them. I just want one to visit me. So just, you know, say, what's up?

[DJ Envy]

You know what? Ghost in Baltimore.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All right, when we come back, we

[DJ Envy]

got the latest with Lauren. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

[Angela Yee]

Lauren becoming a straight face.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She gets them from somebody that knows somebody.

[DJ Envy]

She gets the details.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I'm not homegirl that knows a little bit about everything.

[DJ Envy]

She be having the latest on the

[2 Chainz]

Latest with Lauren LaRosa.

[DJ Envy]

Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details. Sometimes she have a little bit everything. Oh.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's the latest brought to you by

[2 Chainz]

Top Dog Law on the Breakfast Club.

[DJ Envy]

Talk to me. Top Dog Low.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yes. Okay, so Floyd Mayweather there. The conversation is still going about whether Floyd Mayweather is having financial issues or not. Not because he just announced another fight. So over the weekend, Floyd announced the exhibition against Mike Zambidis and that's gonna happen in June. And you guys know we talked about the, the fight that's going to happen with the mini Pacquiao in September. That's gonna be on Netflix.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Was that after Tyson fight or before? When's the Tyson?

[Lauren LaRosa]

So Tyson is. Okay, so he has, Floyd has three fights in a spin in a six month span. He has Mike Tyson and Floyd in April, he has Manny Pacquiao in September, and he has Mike Zambia or Zimbabies. I'm sorry if I'm saying that wrong. In June and that was the one that was just recently announced.

[DJ Envy]

That ain't gonna help the, you know, I'm not broke rumors. I'm not broke statement. If the people are accusing you of being broke and messing up your money and now you. Three times in how many months?

[2 Chainz]

Six.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Six months.

[DJ Envy]

Six months. He might be hurting 49, but.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But he's getting it back.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You'll get what, close to what, 20, 30 a fight?

[DJ Envy]

I don't know.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I don't know. Well, okay, I talked to somebody yesterday who I worked with before. That would be in the Know, on the Floyd, and they told me that normally he doesn't come outside for less than 80. Is that true? Have you guys heard that? I don't know about 2026, but the

[DJ Envy]

Pacquiao Mayweather fight, that's gonna be on Netflix, right? Yes, that's a bag. Where's the Tyson fight gonna be at?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Let me look it up. I think they are on. I think they're on Netflix too.

[DJ Envy]

Oh, well, Pacquiao Mayweather will definitely be a big payday. I don't know about the other ones. All I'm simply saying is if people out here calling you broke and you trying to prove that you're not boy, that this don't look right. This don't look right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Even if he is. Even if he is, the fact that he can't just do a couple of fights and make a couple of M's like that, because he's gonna make. If the way you're talking, gonna make what, 80 off this one.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Listen, I don't know if that's 100, but the person I, that I trust, that I've reached out to before on Floyd things told me that Floyd ain't going nowhere for less than 80s.

[DJ Envy]

I highly doubt that Floyd Mayweather is getting $80 million a fight in 2026. Right?

[Lauren LaRosa]

You seriously?

[DJ Envy]

Yes, seriously.

[Lauren LaRosa]

It's crazy how. What is it, time that takes away from your brain or something? Because the conversation is so different around him right now. But yes. So, yeah, that's happening because of that. That, that last fight that he just announced. So we'll see what happens with that and how that goes. Now, in other news, Jim Carrey, he is not a clone.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah, well, who's. Oh, well, yeah, it's been speculation of it.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah. So Jim Carrey was at an award show in Paris called the Caesar Awards. And he first he gave us a speech on the stage and he did part of his speech, not in English, and then after that, just him talking on the carpet. Just him being there for some reason. Seen Jen, Carrie in a very long time. The conversation has been whether or not it was actually him at the award show and whether he is a clone to the point where his reps had to come out and give a statement and say Jim Carrey was actually at the awards and I know delegates for the awards and this is news. Yeah, it is. It's been like. It's been a real. People have literally been trying to figure out if he is a clone and who the clone is.

[Angela Yee]

Listen, we love Jim Carrey. I know that he stands for.

[Lauren LaRosa]

The people do love him. But, yes, they've come out and said that he is not a clone and that he'd actually. Actually been planning on attending that award show for over, like, months, since the summertime. So that the speech that he gave in French was actually him. He was there with his partner, his daughter, and one of his publicists and a couple, like, close friends and family members. So. Yeah.

[Angela Yee]

What do you mean, partner?

[Lauren LaRosa]

I believe it's a business partner.

[DJ Envy]

Okay. Well, it's good to know that white people get accused of being clones, too,

[Lauren LaRosa]

because it was happening with Gucci, but,

[Angela Yee]

yeah, it happened with a couple of us. Absolutely. But, I mean, black people, you know, like Jamie Foxx and.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Oh, yeah, we did that. By Jamie F. Is that a compliment, though? Because I was thinking about it, yes. People are just so excited because you don't see him. I don't remember the last time we've seen him out on a carpet.

[Angela Yee]

And then the last time we did see him, he had some pretty choice words about award shows and things like that and how it's, like, no big deal. It was at the Golden Globes, I believe, his speech and everything. So that's why people believed that he was home. He was cloned. Because I don't know about the French stuff, but I know he was very happy. This is the first time that we've seen him in a while, but we've seen him. He's like. He was giddy.

[Lauren LaRosa]

His demeanor was very different.

[Angela Yee]

You know, I think it's a compliment

[DJ Envy]

when it's Gucci mane because people think that Gucci man evolved so much mentally and physically that he can't possibly be the same person. I think when people say you're a clone because of that, it's a compliment.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Gotcha.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Same thing with Jamie. Remember, they thought Jamie was doing bad. And the fact that people seen him out and doing way better and he was happy. Yes, same thing.

[Lauren LaRosa]

And his partner is actually like a significant other. It's a woman.

[Angela Yee]

Oh, absolutely.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah. Yeah. So moving on, as we close, there's a real quick.

[Angela Yee]

I did see that he. It was a video he just posted. Say, now that I got. Now that I got y' all attention. Like, he about to drop a film or something like that.

[DJ Envy]

Yes.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Well, maybe that's why he's popping out. I feel like that's what people do when they hit these carpets. Following.

[Angela Yee]

Okay, go ahead.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yes. Now, in other news. So you guys remember we had talked about that steak lawsuit with Drake and that there were people claiming that they had put money in, and because of Drake and all these things, they thought they would win and it wasn't happening. And they feel like that there's some fishy business going on that state. Basically, Drake is allegedly using Steak in the way that you can transfer money throughout it to pay for fake bots and streams and all these things. Right. Well, Bloomberg did an investigation, and according to Bloomberg, they're revealing that Drake wins at a four time higher average than a typical player on the Stake website, which is a cryptocurrency sweepstakes casino. The investigation included the fact that they looked at over 1500 hours of footage from 25 live streamers. And Steak is saying that this is not true. They've been kind of like pushing back on all of this. But, you know, the people are picking this up because that bot conversation has been a thing recently, and I've been seeing a lot of different artists in the bot conversation. You just don't know what's real or fake anymore.

[Mimi]

Louder.

[DJ Envy]

Oh, it's gonna get louder.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, it's very scary. I don't know about y', all, but now when I'm. I mean, I've always been like this, but when I'm looking at things now, I'm like, is it AI? Is it real? Are the numbers right? Where'd it come from? Who can we ask? Like, it's. It's so simple.

[DJ Envy]

Who's getting paid to say certain things? That's another part of the conversation.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, you seen that more and more and more now.

[DJ Envy]

Oh, absolutely.

[Angela Yee]

And then also as a journalist, Lauren, does that make you scared? Like, you know, are you scared to report? Like, what do I report?

[Lauren LaRosa]

What do I. Yes. Even videos. A lot of times I'm like, like, can we go to the team? Even if it looks real? Like, can you tell me this is real? Like, I have to. I feel like I have to do so much more now because the Internet is just running wild and there's so many little plug and plays that people have allegedly figured out that people gotta

[2 Chainz]

do their due diligence.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, we don't really know the ins and outs of. So I don't know when that's gonna come to a head.

[Angela Yee]

It's not a fact, but it is Women's International.

[2 Chainz]

[Angela Yee]

International Women's Month. So I have a woman to honor, and I'm going to do that all month.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You missed yesterday.

[Angela Yee]

I. I honored me yesterday.

[2 Chainz]

What do you mean?

[Angela Yee]

I missed it now to.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, this month is Women's International Month. International Women's Month.

[Angela Yee]

Yes. And I want to honor someone who is near and dear to the hearts of women because you can change your life around. So I want to honor Jenny from Forrest Gump for tricking Forrest and taking care of our son and dying of aids. Clearly, she didn't have me around to fix our mess. But she was trying to find herself. She got sick. You know, she was popping, shooting up, taking drugs and all of that, right? And she was hanging out with hippies, and she was playing big games with Forest. Remember, she was, like, joining some white revolution, right? And Forest came to find her. And that man, man slapped the hell out of her. And Forest beat his ass. He would do any and everything to save her, right? And she turned her life around, right? She had the son. And when Forrest got to her, she was like, here go my son. I'm dying of aids. I'm sorry. I don't know what you want me to do. She was toxic at one point in her life, but she turned it around before she went on and gave, you know, went on to glory, you know what I'm saying? Because her son made her a better person. That's what I'm saying. That's the connection. I'm saying, like, we changed our lives around now, kids. Kids make us better people. And her childhood was crazy because, remember, she had an alcoholic, abusive father and her mother wasn't around. I think she died or something like that. But that's. That's what happens when you don't have, you know, the right parents, and you're just out there trying to find your life.

[DJ Envy]

It's Women's history Month. Yeah, that's right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Salute to that woman.

[2 Chainz]

Yep.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Charlemagne, you got positive note?

[DJ Envy]

I do. It's called gratitude. Okay. Life is one big continuous circle of giving and receiving energy. Be thankful for who and what's in your life instead of complaining about what you don't have. If you focus on gratitude, you'll start to attract prosperity and abundance. Have a great day. Breakfast club. Wake you up.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Wake that ass up.
