[Jessica]

A lot of artists these days can't rap either.

He makes too much money to be rapping like there's. There's no reason to be rapping like Come on now. Like, if.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Day and grieving another life.

[DJ Envy]

I got to kiss my kids this morning.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Thank you, guys.

[DJ Envy]

Yes, absolutely. Let's get the show cracking. We got front page news coming up, so don't go anywhere.

[Jessica]

Y' all get enough sleep now. Come on.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You just. Hi. Everything feel good for you right now?

[DJ Envy]

I as hell you have. You have some more God questions?

[Jessica]

Yes, I am. Later. Later.

[DJ Envy]

All right. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Let's get in some front page news. What's up, Morgan?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Good morning.

[Morgan State]

Good morning. How we feeling on a Thursday?

[DJ Envy]

Indeed.

[Morgan State]

Because there is definitely devastating news breaking out of Minneapolis, Minnesota. Two children are dead and 17 others are wounded. Fourteen children and three parishioners in their 80s are wounded after a Catholic school shooting in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Now, Minneapolis Police Chief Brian o' Hara provided details about the victims and identified the shooter as 23 year old Robin Westman, who shot through the church stained glass window of the Annunciation Church. I will disclaim that even listening to this account from the police chief is a little bit difficult. So let's hear more from Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'. Hara.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Two were young children, ages 8 and 10 that were sitting in the pews at Mass when they were shot and killed. They were pronounced deceased on the scene. There were another 14 children between the ages of six and 15 that were injured by gunfire. There were also three adults in their 80s that were parishioners here attending Mass that were also shot in this incident. The coward that shot these victims took his own life in the rear of the church. That coward has been identified as 23 year old Robin Westman. No prior criminal history as to the weapons used to perpetrate this horrific attack. There was a rifle, a shotgun and a pistol. All three had been lawfully purchased by the shooter.

[Morgan State]

Yeah. So as mentioned in the audio, the shooter died from a self inflicted gunshot wound. O' Hara says they have discovered a about 900 page manifesto left behind by Westman. Left behind by Westman, who also posted that manifesto on YouTube and, and also in other posted videos. Westman expressed hate against Catholics, black people and Jewish people. The FBI is investig this shooting as an act of domestic terrorism and a hate crime targeting Catholics. All of the injured that all of those who are injured are expected to survive. So that's good news. During a press conference, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Fry called for the violence to stop. He also spoke with MSNBC yesterday calling for gun reform following that mass shooting. He spoke about how easy it is for the suspect to get a gun and compared the US to other countries who have taken action on gun violence. Let's take a listen to Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Fry.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We're not talking about your father's hunting rifle. We're talking about people that have gotten guns at it, seemingly in this case legally, that obviously have a whole ton of mental health issues. You're not right in the head if you're going to a church to shoot it up.

[Jessica]

Yeah.

[Morgan State]

So Minnesota government, it is, it's devastating, extremely heartbreaking. And I mean these are the type of stories that it makes it hard to do my job because it's like, sheesh, you know, you're in church, the kids are praying. I mean, you think it's one of the safest places in the world. But Minnesota Governor Tim Walls called the shooting evil and said that he has spoken with President Trump who offered full federal assistance, which I think is absolutely amazing, you know, because think about it, just months ago they were at each other's necks on the campaign trail. But you know, it shouldn't take these types of incidents for elected officials to get along. But I'm not going to get too much into that. The FBI is investigating the shooting, as I mentioned, as an act of domestic terrorism and a hate crime targeting Catholics.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So we will get gun reform in this country because of the gun lobby's grip on politicians. Okay? The NRA and other gun lobbyists have decades of, you know, political infrastructure and, you know, donating money to candidates. And they don't just donate money to candidates, they mobilize voters and intimidate politicians who step out of line and dare, you know, go against any type of actual gun reform pushback.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, I was wondering, do they have a department in the federal government where all they do is look online and look at people and look at these threats and look at things like that? Because if he was so open about how he felt online and was still able to purchase guns legally, like I feel like that's something that we're missing out. And maybe there is a division, but if so, it has to be a bigger division because we hear these stories all the time. We hear these stories of these people that's doing mass shootings or committing these crimes and they tell before they do it. It's not like it's a surprise when, you know, when people hear these stories, they're like, oh, I knew it was him because he's been talking about this for years. And we don't stop it. We still allow them to buy not one pistol, but three pistols. Well, two pistols and a machine gun or whatever he bought, or a rifle. But it's just, it's just very sad. And rest in peace and condolences to any one of those family members and friends. It's just so evident.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We all know what we need to do in regard to gun reform, but these gun lobbyists control the politicians. That's really that simple.

[DJ Envy]

All right, well, that is front page news. Yes.

[Morgan State]

Yeah, I'll stick around. We'll stick around for seven. We've got more.

[DJ Envy]

All right, everybody else, get it off your chest. Phone lines are wide open. 800-5-5-1051 if you need to.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But you know, the rest in peace to those kids. And I'm sending healing energy to the families because it's just sad to watch young people lose their lives cuz adults can't get it together.

[DJ Envy]

Correct.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's really because. Because Adults choose not to do the right thing.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And now those two kids lost their lives.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah. Countless others are wounded and. Oh, my gosh. All right, well, call us up right now. Get it off your chest. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

Hey, Amber. Good morning. Get it off your chest.

[Caller/Listener]

Well, before I say that, I just want to say I'm calling from Somerville.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Hey, 843. What's happening?

[Caller/Listener]

Hey. So yesterday, my six year old came up to me and said that he was in PE and the teacher told everybody to be quiet. So everybody listened, except for one kid. He kept talking, and the teacher was like, you need to be quiet. I can see why your parents probably hate you or we hate you or something like that. So she wasn't talking directly to my child, but my kid wants me to say something because he always taking up everybody. And, you know, this one is a little above his head or whatever, but I just don't want it to be like, no retaliatory type of situation against my kid. If I do talk to the principal about the PE teacher, I'm like, I really don't want this teacher around my kid. But he, he kind of thick, so he needs P.E. so, like, I just don't know what to do.

[Jessica]

Yeah, I think that is definitely a horrific. This is very offensive to say that to a kid about their household. Like, what? I think you should.

[Caller/Listener]

Like, it got me off guard. Like, I had three kids.

[Angela Yee]

But now.

[Jessica]

Do they play like that? Because I know I used to play with my teachers as far as the.

[DJ Envy]

School stuff, but a teacher said, I see why your parents hate you. So.

[Jessica]

Yeah, but you be. I used to play with my teachers and they used to have to say some things like that. But I don't know if it's the city public school, if like they got that type of, you know, camaraderie, if they got that type of relationship. I used to play with him and he had PE teacher. Don't nobody take him serious. So.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Dang. How old is your old.

[Jessica]

How old?

[Caller/Listener]

Yeah, he's six.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, so.

[Caller/Listener]

And that's the difference, you know, like growing up, you know, I would go back and forth with the teachers in high school and if it was my daughter, I wouldn't mind, but I mean, I wouldn't mind, but she can handle her own. But like to say this to a 6 year old and like, I didn't.

[Jessica]

Know that was elemental.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Did your 6 year old come back to you and ask you, mommy, do you hate me? Coach said you hate me, right? Did he say that or she say that?

[Caller/Listener]

No, it wasn't my kid. It was another kid.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, got you.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah.

[Caller/Listener]

So I don't know if I should just let the principal know or like.

[DJ Envy]

I don't know what to do.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You should report that. Yeah, definitely.

[Jessica]

I know. They were that young, I'm sure.

[DJ Envy]

Get it off your shirt.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You shaping that kid's mind in the terrible way kids hate him. Her parents hate him.

[Jessica]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

800 5851. 105 won't get it off your chest it's the Breakfast Club the Breakfast Club.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

This is your time to get it off your chest Whether you're mad or.

[DJ Envy]

Blessed I hate the way that you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Walk the way that you talk I hate the way that you dress Everything.

[DJ Envy]

With me is blessed. Call up next 800-585-1051 not just me.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm with the culture feeling.

[DJ Envy]

Good morning. We got Tierra on the phone now. Tierra Charlamagne And Jess, remember, this is the young lady that called yesterday. She was talking about her daughter has mental health problems. And we were talking. We had a topic yesterday and we were talking. We lost her on the phone line.

[Jessica]

Okay.

[DJ Envy]

And she wanted to call this morning. Good morning, Teairra.

[Caller/Listener]

Good morning.

[DJ Envy]

How you doing?

[Angela Yee]

Good morning, honey.

[Caller/Listener]

I'm doing really good. Today is my 40th birthday.

[DJ Envy]

Hey, 4040 Club.

[Caller/Listener]

Yes, 40 Club.

[Jessica]

That's what's up, girl.

[DJ Envy]

Now, yesterday, I know you tried to call in and you was telling that your daughter is. She has mental health problems.

[Caller/Listener]

Yeah, she has. She experienced a traumatic brain injury a few years ago, and that pushed her into, like, a Covid. And she had some other stuff come out of that. But what I was saying is that people do not discuss the violence that you experience when somebody is going through an episode. You don't know if they're hallucinating. They could be having auditory hallucinations or visual hallucinations. You don't know what they're being told in those moments because it's real.

[Jessica]

Yeah, yeah.

[Caller/Listener]

They don't have a way to distinguish what's real and what's not in those moments.

[DJ Envy]

You know, I was thinking about that yesterday. When they pick up a weapon or they do something and hurt somebody, you know, it's hard to give somebody jail time when they're not necessarily in their right mind because they don't necessarily know what they're doing wrong. Is that correct?

[Caller/Listener]

They don't. A lot of times they don't. They could have came up with a whole plan and don't even remember because they weren't in the right mind in those moments.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah. I think it's sad. You know, we were having this conversation. I don't know if we're going to end up having the conversation this week, but we definitely going to have a conversation about, you know, the people who have to deal with the people who have mental health issues who are dealing with mental illness. Like, you know, nobody ever talks about the family members and the friends who have to deal with people. That's right.

[Jessica]

Yeah.

[Caller/Listener]

And it is very hard. It's very emotional because you so hit and you be like, oh, I want them out my house, but if I'm out my house, what's gonna happen for them?

[DJ Envy]

Right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Especially when it's your child. Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

How old is she exactly?

[Caller/Listener]

She's a teenager.

[DJ Envy]

She's a teenager. But let me ask you a question. When she starts to. To date, do you tell the person that she's dating because you know he would need to know. Like, you don't.

[Caller/Listener]

Because you can't.

[DJ Envy]

Right.

[Caller/Listener]

And you don't know how somebody is going to be better than you.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah. But also, if they do have a mental, you know, a problem or something, you want them to at least know where it's coming from and not just, you know, react.

[Caller/Listener]

You know what I say in the past, I make it like one little boyfriend at this point where I will pull his mom and everything. And we just had real conversations like, listen, you can't do this because of this. You cannot play fight because she don't know how to stop. Like, I make it very clear about certain things.

[DJ Envy]

Gotcha.

[Caller/Listener]

Uncertainty.

[DJ Envy]

Gotcha.

[Caller/Listener]

And you know, boys like to hit.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Right.

[Caller/Listener]

And just to get a rise out of you. And that goes for many things, just people in general.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, I get it.

[DJ Envy]

Thank you for sharing your story.

[Caller/Listener]

Because you never know, especially with social media. She had people put stuff on social media that wasn't fully clear.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Right.

[Caller/Listener]

About everything that she has going on. So if I do want people to tell. But you have to tell the right people. Like, you have to really trust them in order to do agenda. Gotcha behind it.

[DJ Envy]

Thank you for sharing your story.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Definitely. Thank you for sharing your story. I'm telling you, we. We started that panel last year at the Mental Wealth Expo, man. We had a panel for people who deal with. For people who have to deal with folks who have mental illness, the family members, the friends. Because that's just a big conversation whenever we have the Mental Wealth Expo. People who got to deal with family members and friends who actually have, you know, mental. Mental health issues. So that'll be something we're discussing this year at the Mental Health Expo too, which is happening Saturday, October 11, at the Joel and Diane Bloom Wellness and event center from 11am to 4pm and it's a free event open for all ages.

[DJ Envy]

She gets the details.

[Angela Yee]

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

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She'd be having the latest on this. The Latest with Lauren LaRosa. Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details, sometimes you have a little bit of everything. Well, it's the latest on the Breakfast Club.

[Angela Yee]

Alrighty. Also, we gotta send a congratulations to French Montana. Yes, he is engaged. So he has been or has now been recently been engaged to the Princess of Dubai. Her name is Sheikha Mara. I believe I'm saying it correct. Don't keep saying huh? Because this, this was not our exclusive. And it should have been Envy. But I'm gonna mind you.

[DJ Envy]

Well, this way, I want everybody to know that Lauren knew this a week ago. Right.

[Angela Yee]

I am highly upset at you. We work as a team.

[DJ Envy]

She says, envy, can you call French and ask him about his engagement? I'm like, I am not calling friends. Him, this.

[Angela Yee]

He didn't slide me a number. It was nothing. But anyway, let's get back to it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I respect the fact that you wanted to confirm Lauren before you just reported.

[Angela Yee]

Yes.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like a lot of these other poot butt people out here.

[Angela Yee]

And also, too, because it's an engagement. Yeah. Pooba is crazy because it's an engagement. And I know you know that it was private. Nothing was out yet. I wanted to make sure I knew I was right, but I just wanted to make sure it was okay with us to do the story. I know y' all have relationships as well, too, so I'm learning to respect those things. But anyway, I don't know them people. French and Envy are cool. Yeah. So anyway, yeah, so they've been engaged now for some time. They got engaged back in June.

[DJ Envy]

[Lamel Plummer]

Hola.

[Honey German]

It's honey German and my podcast Gracias Come Again is back. This season we're going even deeper into the world of music and entertainment with raw and honest conversations with some of your favorite Latin artists and celebrities. You didn't have to audition.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, I didn't audition. I haven't auditioned in, like, over 25 years.

[Honey German]

Oh, wow. That's amazing. Real G talk right there.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, yeah.

[Honey German]

We've got some of the biggest actors, musicians, content creators and culture shifters sharing their real stories of failure and success. You were destined to be a star. We talk all about what's viral and trending with a little bit of Cheeseman, a lot of laughs, and those amazing vivras you've come to expect. And of course, we'll explore deeper topics dealing with identity struggles and all the issues affecting our Latin community. You feel like you get a little whitewashed because you have to do the code switching.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I won't say whitewashed because at the end of the day, you know, I'm me. Yeah. But the whole pretending and co, you know, it takes a toll on you.

[Honey German]

Listen to the new season of Gracias Come Again as part of Michael Tura podcast Network on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So what happened to Chappaquiddick?

[Angela Yee]

Well, it really depends on who you talk to.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

There are many versions of what happened in 1969 when a young Ted Kennedy drove a car into a pond and.

[Angela Yee]

Left a to drown.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

There's a famous headline, I think, in.

[Angela Yee]

The New York Daily News. It's teddy escapes, blonde drowns. And in a strange way, right, that sort of tells you the story really became about ted's political future, Ted's political hopes.

[Lamel Plummer]

Will Ted become president?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Chappaquiddick is a story of a tragic death and how the Kennedy machine took control. And he's not the only Kennedy to survive a scandal. The Kennedys have lived through disgrace, affairs, violence, you name it. So is there a curse? Every week we go behind the headlines and beyond the drama of America's royal family.

[Dr. Lea Trattan]

Listen to United States of Kennedy on.

[Angela Yee]

The iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever.

[Lamel Plummer]

You get your podcast.

[Dr. Lea Trattan]

Sometimes it's hard to remember, but going.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Through something like that is a traumatic experience. But it's also not the end of.

[Dr. Lea Trattan]

Your life that was my dad reminding me and so many others who need to hear it that our trauma is not our shame to carry and that we have big, bold and beautiful lives to live after what happened to us. I'm your host and co president of this organization, Dr. Lea Trittate. On my new podcast, the Unwanted Sorority, we wade through transformation to peel back healing and reveal what it actually looks like and sounds like in real time. Each week I sit down with people who've lived through harm, carried silence, and are now reshaping the systems that failed us. We're going to talk about the adultification of black girls mothering as resistance and the tools we use for healing. The Unwanted Sorority is a safe space, not a quiet space. So let's lock in. We're moving towards liberation together. Listen to the Unwanted Sorority. New episodes every Thursday on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get.

[Angela Yee]

Your podcasts to tmz who broke the story they got engaged during Paris Fashion Week. This was shortly after French Montana walked in Paris Fashion week. Now the two have been dating since 2024. But like for those who don't know who this princess is, her family is. They're billionaires. Like it's estimated that it's Jesus crazy money. I mean a lot of people are interested right now or have been since they were spotted together because of the amount of money that her family is worth, but also because when she first was spotted with French Montana, she had posted to Instagram to break up with her former husband and said that her former husband was occupied with other people so she was divorcing him and put it on Instagram. So people are like city boys is up 300 000. But yo friends she be divorcing her husband's on Instagram. So you got to be careful.

[DJ Envy]

She had a couple kids too, right? I think she's a kid or two.

[Angela Yee]

Not for sure about her kids, I don't know.

[DJ Envy]

So I mean I'm just happy for French man. I'm happy if he found love. I'm happy for him.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

First of all, I could be wrong, but you don't casually date those princesses and stuff from Dubai?

[Angela Yee]

No, no, no. Normally no.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

If you're dating one of them, especially you're a black American, you're going to marry my daughter. One of the things they tell you when you go over there, somebody told me this a while ago, they said when you go over there, don't bring no drugs.

[DJ Envy]

No drugs.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And don't mess with they women. If not there you'll end up in the desert somewhere.

[Angela Yee]

Well, is it. I was going to say, though, where is French Montana from?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Morocco.

[Angela Yee]

Okay.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Morocco.

[Angela Yee]

Okay.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Where's he from?

[DJ Envy]

Where's his background, Bro?

[Angela Yee]

Yeah. So I want to say to. For all the listeners and anybody watching, we do have exclusive video from a celebration ceremony that they did in Morocco. So you guys can go check that out. It is now on the Breakfast Club's Instagram. My Instagram. And the brown girl grinding Instagram as well. So I finally did get a way into all the things.

[DJ Envy]

I wasn't calling friends for that. Anything else. I called friends, but I wasn't. I called them the other morning, remember, when we was up here? But I wasn't calling for no damn engagement. That's your personal life.

[Angela Yee]

I. I get it. I get French. Well, yeah. But. Yeah. So I want to. I just wanted to talk a bit about that because yesterday, for me, I was, like, kind of shocked at all the people that were. I had never seen men be gold diggers before, but this brought a lot of the gold diggers out online, and it was crazy to see. Now I understand how y' all feel when women celebrate a woman dating someone with a bunch of money. Because I was like, why can't they just be in love? Why I gotta be about her money? Y' all didn't see none of that.

[DJ Envy]

Because she's worth a billion dollars.

[Angela Yee]

But, you know, they're not married yet. They're engaged.

[DJ Envy]

I almost put this in the group chat, Right. For all the men. Men. If you were a woman, would you be a gold digger? Would you be the type of guy, a woman that was a gold digger? If you were a woman.

[Angela Yee]

If you were a woman, would you be a gold digger?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No.

[Angela Yee]

Why not?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Why would I want to dig for gold? Here's the thing. What you're saying is you're basically saying you want somebody that is doing well in life. Like, everybody wants somebody that's doing well in life. But, you know, what you call well is subjective.

[Angela Yee]

Yes.

[Jessica]

I mean, her family, like, oh, my God. Broke. Please come.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes. You just want somebody that's doing well in life, but you're also not like, oh, I hope I find me somebody rich. You just want somebody that's doing well. That's it.

[DJ Envy]

I think a lot of. I think a lot of women want to find somebody that's rich.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah, they do. And they want to just be put up. Feet put up. And I ain't mad at y', all.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But I think people want love. I think. I really do think People want love more than anything. I. I think. I think that whole gold digger thing is a narrative.

[DJ Envy]

They want love with money.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I mean, you hope, you know, you want love and you want somebody that's got, you know, a good. A good spiritual side, a good mental side. Like, you want happiness first and foremost. That person got some change with them. That's a. That's a plus, too.

[Angela Yee]

Her family is reportedly worth $18 billion.

[DJ Envy]

That's a plus.

[Angela Yee]

Yes.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I promise you, you married for money, you ain't gonna never be happy.

[DJ Envy]

No, no.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You sit there like that's just the most ridiculous thing ever.

[Angela Yee]

And French has his own money, too. Like, people were talking as if, like, she found French, like, randomly on the corner in the Bronx. I'm like, it's French. Montana's good. Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

And French has, you know, his past. He's had a hit list, so I'm sure that's out his system. He doesn't drink anymore. He doesn't smoke.

[Angela Yee]

Is he talking about the anthems? The music? Frenchman, even. I'm, as a woman, Envy. I think that was cr.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No reason congratulating this man on his engagement. You know what I'm saying? French got a hit list.

[Angela Yee]

You talking about the anthems?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Hey, what if it's Beyonce listening? Envy. I heard this guy Envy on the radio, and he said that you got a hit list. What's a hit list?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, exactly.

[Jessica]

Hey, yeah.

[Angela Yee]

All righty.

[DJ Envy]

We got a French Montana song. Can we play a French Montana song? All right, when we come back, we got front page news. And then Lamel Plummer will be joining us. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You're checking out the Breakfast Club.

[DJ Envy]

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get back in some front page news. What's up, Morgan?

[Jessica]

Hey, yeah.

[Morgan State]

Hey. All right, so let's get back into it. So Washington, D.C. may not see any immediate impact from President Trump's call for greater use of the death penalty. He made those remarks for anyone committing murder in the nation's capital. The D.C. council abolished the death penalty in the district in 1981, and voters rejected a death penalty referendum in 1992. Now, analysts say that this will prevent death penalty prosecutions in the D.C. superior Court unless Congress intervenes. Now, prosecutors could also seek death sentences in federal court. And U.S. attorney Jeanine Pirro says she will follow the president's directive when possible. When possible. But also admitted that it could be difficult to convince D.C. juries to convict defendants who face the death penalty. Meanwhile, more is developing in President Trump's crime crackdown in the Nation's capital, Washington, D.C. mayor Muriel Bowser says a federal surge in law enforcement has lowered crime. But she criticized the deployment of mass masked ICE agents and National Guard troops from out of state. Let's take a listen to D.C. mayor Muriel Bowser.

[Angela Yee]

This is what we think in just a couple of weeks of experience has worked having more federal law enforcement officers on the street. We know that we have had fewer gun crimes, fewer homicides, and we have experienced an extreme reduction in carjackings. We know having masked ICE agents in the community has not worked, and National Guards from other states has not been an efficient use of those resources.

[Morgan State]

So Mayor Bowser went on to say that carjackings are down 87% and she.

[Jessica]

Did.

[Morgan State]

As said in the audio, admit that, you know, some support for MPD, which is DC's police department, Metropolitan Police Department, the support that the federal agents come in, supporting the police department is as well, is a good thing. But she has also expressed that there is concern the city's residents saying that they are living in fear. She did say she had a conversation with President Trump on Wednesday, but did not elaborate about what they spoke about. In other news, the Trump administration is moving to take over Union station in Washington, D.C. which is the train station, major train transportation hub. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy made the announcement and said the station has fallen into disrepair and DC should be the example. Let's take a listen to Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We're going to take it back and we're going to drive out the homelessness, we're going to drive out the crime, and we are going to, I think, bring in more retailers, I think more customers. It should be beautiful. And the president wants a beautiful capital. I want a beautiful capitol. And, and so this plan is going to make Union Station represent the president's vision of what America can and should look like.

[Morgan State]

Duffy went on to say they will help make the city safe and beautiful at a fraction of the cost by reclaiming management of the station. And it's the latest move by the White House as part of President Trump's crime crackdown in dc. And for my last story, I absolutely love this for, you know, all of the things that have been going on with Washington, dc. That man who threw the sandwich at the federal agent, he is reportedly not being indicted by a grand jury. That's according to the New York Times. The US Attorney's office in Washington, DC, has sought an indictment in a and a felony assault case. Sean Dunn, who is seen on video striking the officer in the chest with that Subway sandwich after saying they're not wanted in dc, he admitted to the incident after he was arrested. Y' all saw him on that viral video where he hit the officer with the sandwich and then ran off. Off, Ran off. Yeah, of course. Caught later. Sean Dunn, he was arrested in that incident and of course he was fired from his job, also at the Justice Department following the incident.

[Angela Yee]

But if you have ever, or if.

[Morgan State]

You have been in D.C. since this whole situation, you have seen the, there's been like a poster. It's, it's, he's being basically held a local hero. I'm not exactly sure why, per se, but, you know, I guess it's just one of those, you know, standing up against the man type things. But there's posters, there's. There's visuals, there's all these different things posted around the city that are. That show him literally masked up and throwing the sandwich, you know, towards. Towards an officer. But yeah, you, girl.

[Jessica]

What kind of sandwich was it? Did we get to that?

[Morgan State]

We never found out the exact type of sandwich, if it was turkey or rye or if we, you know, it was a sub. So, you know, we never found out if it was, you know, tuna or turkey or, you know, whatever the case is, roast beef, whatever. But it was a Subway sandwich because it was standing right outside of Subway. So though, you know, So y' all should take that and run with it. But I'm not gonna get too much into that. That's your front page news. Y' all can follow me on socials. Dang. Wait, let me get through the. Y' all can follow me on socials at Morgan Media and for more news coverage, follow at Black Information Network, Download the free iHeartRadio radio app and visit [e-mail]. just also extra note that I will be out tomorrow and I'm gonna leave you in the more than capable hands of my fellow bi n anchor, Mimi Brown. So nice.

[Jessica]

[DJ Envy]

Thank you.

[Angela Yee]

All right, y' all have a good one.

[DJ Envy]

Have a great vacation.

[Morgan State]

Every trip ain't a vacation, but I appreciate it.

[DJ Envy]

I think it's a three day trip. All right, but enjoy your time off. All right, when we come back, Lamel plumber will be joining us, so don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. You know him from the Zeus.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Now, the Breakfast Club.

[DJ Envy]

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious Charlamagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Lola Rose is here as well. And we got a special guest in the building from Zeus Network. Ladies and gentlemen, Lamel Plummer. Welcome, brother. How you feeling?

[Lamel Plummer]

I'm feeling good. How about you? I'm a little. I'm a little under the weather, but I'm hanging in there.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

They told me you here to promote music. I know that ain't true.

[Lamel Plummer]

I got a new song out, man, so.

[Angela Yee]

You right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Let's start. Let's play. I want to hear it right now. Where is it? All that money you getting and you decide to rap?

[Lamel Plummer]

I know, man. Yes.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Where's the record?

[Lamel Plummer]

Yeah, let's go. Let's play it.

[DJ Envy]

What is called?

[Lamel Plummer]

The song is called Baddie Bad.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Baddie Bad.

[Jessica]

Yeah, it's on Apple, Spotify.

[Lamel Plummer]

It's everywhere.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I liked everything about the song except for y' all.

[Lamel Plummer]

Oh, gosh.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What?

[DJ Envy]

That's the whole song?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, I like the beat, and I like the concept of it, because I think that's a dope record to flip. But if you do it, you should have got, like, Webby on it. Like, actually put Webby on the record.

[Lamel Plummer]

You know, it wasn't my call. That was Natalie's call. Okay.

[DJ Envy]

You want to rap? Were you rapping before that?

[Lamel Plummer]

No, she. She asked me to be on the song, so, you know, I told her I'm not a rapper, you know, but for you, I would.

[Jessica]

You came in here rapping, you switched out the glasses.

[Lamel Plummer]

Now I know.

[Jessica]

I don't see.

[Lamel Plummer]

I'm sorry. I knew I was playing the song, so. But, yeah, no, I told her.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Felt embarrassed when the song was playing, didn't you?

[Lamel Plummer]

No, I was actually. We've been playing it all weekend. Did you rap before?

[DJ Envy]

Were you a rapper before? As a kid, it was like.

[Lamel Plummer]

No, I've never. I've never been a rapper. Never.

[Jessica]

What made you say it?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You're still not a rapper now. Lamel. Stop. Still not one now. I mean, ever.

[Jessica]

When she said, yo, I got this track I want you to be on.

[Lamel Plummer]

Yeah, I. I told her, you know, Baddies is. Is. Is a huge hit for us, so we. We always try to find unique ways to market the. The brand. And I know me being on there, you know, probably would have gave it a little bit more, you know, exposure.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And earned media, so we.

[Lamel Plummer]

We got a little bit.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

In our world, Natalie Dunn and Webby would have been a good company combination, you know what I'm saying? With all the Baddies girls in the videos. Yeah, you know, that's true.

[Lamel Plummer]

That might be true. I don't know. I tried it, but thanks for the feedback, man. I appreciate it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What about Ray J? You think about putting Ray on there? Did you ever think about it?

[Lamel Plummer]

I. I might. You know, I might.

[Jessica]

Oh, God, he might do it. You never know.

[Lamel Plummer]

Ray J. I might put Ray J on it. You know, I might.

[Jessica]

All right, so.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Love talking to you.

[Jessica]

Love Cabin. Please let us know what this is about. Man, what is wrong with previewing?

[Lamel Plummer]

What is it?

[DJ Envy]

Why'd I come in?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like I had an option, but I keep coming back.

[Angela Yee]

I thought, wait. Ray J made up?

[Lamel Plummer]

I'm sorry.

[Angela Yee]

Y' all made up?

[Lamel Plummer]

You know him and who?

[Angela Yee]

Ray J? Cause I know it was a fight, right? Yeah. Cause he said he might get on the record. I'm like, oh, y' all made up?

[Lamel Plummer]

No, you know, we figuring it out. We got something that we're gonna be. Be talking about Ray J and I publicly, so.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh.

[Jessica]

Oh, okay.

[Lamel Plummer]

Yeah, we. We're looking at discussing our issues publicly.

[Jessica]

On your platform or on Tronics?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Lamel Plummer]

No, I mean, not like that, but, you know, Ray. Ray and I are.

[DJ Envy]

So y' all spoke after the little spat you had outside that time?

[Lamel Plummer]

Initially, yeah, because I didn't know what was going on, and he just kind of. He was serious. I was joking, and it just turned into a real situation to some degree. I mean, you know, I understand the marketing and, you know, of it all, but I think he got a little too. Too excited and, you know, it just became a thing. And, you know, when he. When he. When he reached out and kind of, you know, swung at me, I kind of reacted, you know, because I'm not really a. A confrontational person. So more. More of a talker. You know, let's. Let's figure it out.

[DJ Envy]

You in the boxing. Would you go in the ring with Ray J?

[Angela Yee]

Full.

[Lamel Plummer]

Yeah, I'll box Ray J. I'm an athlete. I mean, you know, I'm not. Respectfully, I'm not afraid of any. Any man. But, you know, I think. I think. I think that'd be an interesting.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Let them swing at you, though. Like, you. You roll like the president. Like, how did they. How did Ray J even get a swing?

[Lamel Plummer]

You know, we. Ray and I have had a great friendship for many years. So, you know, at the time when he was promoting his platform, he was kind of. I felt like he was disparaging me quite a bit, and, you know, just.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's an understatement.

[Lamel Plummer]

Yeah. You know, I mean, I saw him on the breakfast glove talking, you know, about me and Zeus, and it was. It was. You know, it was a lot.

[Jessica]

But did you reach out to him after that?

[Lamel Plummer]

No, I never reached out to him when that happened, when he. When you guys had interviewed him, but I didn't. I really didn't understand the initial. You know, like, where did come from? Yeah. The beef or the issues. And, you know, a lot of this stuff for rumors are made up, so I just. I just. You know, what am I gonna say? I'm not gonna respond, you know, create more. You know.

[DJ Envy]

Do you think we're jealous? It was just Ray J being Ray.

[Lamel Plummer]

J. Yeah, I think. I think Ray J was trying to tap into the streaming space, the svad, you know, streaming space. And I. You know, he's been wanting to launch his network, and I think, you know, he made it very clear he was going to come after Zeus And I think he just went a completely different direction that I wouldn't have imagined him to go in. And, you know, he came after me personally and, yeah, it just became a thing and. But yeah, I don't.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't know.

[Lamel Plummer]

It was, it was. At first, it was. It was very disheartening and disappointing, but I, you know, again, I. I responded, I think, to one of his social media posts and then I. I kind of left it alone, you know, but, you know, he kept going and it just became a thing. And then when I saw him, I'm like, hey, what's up, man? Just like, ah, man, what's up? I'm like, what's up? Yeah, and my security, you know, they, they, they. I don't think in their right mind they would have thought that Ray J and I would get into any type of public.

[DJ Envy]

You know, they knew Ray J, so they let him get a little closer than most people would.

[Lamel Plummer]

Yeah, of course. And, and we, and, and then he got out of the car and he kind of like got in my face and I'm smiling. I'm like, you alright? He's like, nah, man. And I'm like, what's going on? And then I think my security told him to back up. And then he got in his. My security guard's face and then he kind of. Kind of swing swung at me. And then I'm like, hey, are you serious? And then it just became a. I.

[Jessica]

Thought y' all both was joking. I honestly thought that y' all were promoting something.

[Lamel Plummer]

Yeah, maybe. Maybe we were.

[Jessica]

These rollouts be different, Ray J. Rollouts be different, you know, So I thought that y' all were actually both.

[Lamel Plummer]

Yeah.

[Jessica]

Like, playing around.

[Lamel Plummer]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm glad y' all got over it. I'm glad that y' all sitting down and y' all squashing it.

[Lamel Plummer]

Yeah, we're gonna figure it out. We got, we're gonna see what we're doing. What, what, what happens.

[DJ Envy]

Lamel Plummer is still here. You know him. CEO of Zeus Network Charlemagne.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I do want to give you props for something, though. I love that you stepped in and got behind magazine dreams.

[Lamel Plummer]

Yeah. Thank you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I thought that was a phenomenal, phenomenal film, man. And if, if, if, if Jonathan hadn't, you know, gotten his little Hollywood kerfuffle, he'd have won an Oscar for that.

[Lamel Plummer]

I agree, I agree. It was a phenomenal film. And, you know, Jonathan had reached out to me and he, they weren't. They needed additional funding for the film to be released and theatrically and just you know, in the VOD space. And so I didn't. I didn't really know too much about the film. And then when I watched it, I was like, oh, we gotta get behind this film. And I understood that they kind of, you know, they didn't have a lot of folks supporting him in the film. So we just kind of took that chance and invested quite a bit in the. In the. In the money, I mean, in the. In the film. And we, We. We just. We co distributed the film with Briarcliffe and. And ultimately, you know, ended up working out exclusive distribution rights on Zeus. So it's currently on Zeus. It did really well theatrically. And you got your ROI back? Oh, yeah, yeah, for sure. Definitely, definitely, definitely. You know, but more importantly, you know, I was happy that Jonathan was able to get his film out there. I thought his performance was incredible and a lot of. A lot of interesting components to the film that I felt dealt with a lot of real life issues that people go through.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Mental health issues. Yeah, absolutely.

[Jessica]

Man, he killed that movie.

[Lamel Plummer]

Yeah, I think so. Yeah. We've kind of branded ourselves to some degree as, like, the Second Chance Network. So, you know, we've given quite a few folks that I feel, you know, Hollywood and traditional media has kind of undervalued or has kind of canceled to some degree. We've given them that opportunity to, you know, tell their stories and I believe generate more income and revenue than any other network or studio that, you know, that they've currently worked with.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Should people give you a second chance at rapping or should they cancel?

[Lamel Plummer]

You know, hey, look, give me a second chance. I think you should give me a second chance.

[Angela Yee]

Not a Second chance story. But I like you doing the partnership with Jason Lee, too. Just providing a platform for the Impact Awards. I think that's fire too.

[Lamel Plummer]

I think we just sleep on what he's doing. Thank you. Yeah, that was a great shout out to Jason Lee. I truly appreciate him reaching out and wanting to partner with Zeus to distribute that award. That's our first award show and it's. We're recognizing and honoring a lot of folks in our culture, and it's a. It's a great ceremony. And, you know, it's. It's. You know, I think we've done about three of them now, and it's. It's only increased in production value and talent. And, you know, it's. It's. It's an incredible experience. So shout out to Jason. And this year's Impact Awards was. Did really well for Zeus. And look, Forward to continuing to work with Jason on that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's a great project. So is that something like. I know Zeus has a. I don't want to say brand, but I guess a certain brand people associate Zeus with. So when you do stuff like the Magazine Dreams and the Hollywood Unlocked Awards, are you trying to go in, I guess, more positive route?

[Lamel Plummer]

Yeah, we're just expanding. We're expanding and trying to bring balance and new content to the platform. You know, I know we've been very loud and provocative, you know, throughout the years with our content. And, you know, I've always felt like it would be important to diversify our content up. And we're doing that and we're. We, you know, we finally are doing well enough to. To really spend some serious money on. On these projects. And. And, yeah, I think we're doing it with films and in some of these shows. So, yeah, the network is doing really well. I think the first time I came here in 2021, I announced that Zeus, we were. I kind of projected and it actually has materialized and manifested into being valued at over a billion dollars at this point. And so thank you, man. Thank you so much. So I was. I was really excited that, you know, the valuation of the company has reached that huge milestone. So. But again, that's why we're able to really invest in all these other projects. And, you know, I think. I think we're truly competing at a higher level than most of the linear networks and most of the traditional networks. So is. It's a pretty.

[DJ Envy]

American history is full of wise people.

[Lamel Plummer]

Walt Whitman said something like, you know, 99.99% of war is diarrhea and 1% is.

[Angela Yee]

Is gory. Those founding fathers were gossipy AF, and they love to cut each other down.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm Bob Crawford, host of American History.

[DJ Envy]

Hotline, the show where you send us your questions about American history and I find the answers, including the nuggets of wisdom our history has to offer.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Hamilton pauses, and then he says, the greatest man that ever lived was Julius Caesar. And Jefferson writes in his diary, this proves that Hamilton is for a dictator based on corruption.

[Lamel Plummer]

My favorite line was what Neil Armstrong said. It would have been harder to fake.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It than to do it.

[DJ Envy]

Listen to American History Hotline on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

A foot washed up, a shoe with.

[DJ Envy]

Some bones in it.

[Lamel Plummer]

They had no idea who it was.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Most everything was burned up pretty good from the fire that. That not a whole lot was salvageable.

[Angela Yee]

These are the coldest of cold cases. But everything is about to change.

[Jessica]

Every case that is a cold case that has DNA right now in a backlog will be identified in our lifetime.

[Dr. Lea Trattan]

A small lab in Texas is cracking.

[Angela Yee]

The code on DNA using new scientific tools. They're finding clues in evidence so tiny.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You might just miss it.

[DJ Envy]

He never thought he was going to get caught and I just looked at my computer screen, I was just like, ah, gotcha.

[Angela Yee]

On America's Crime Lab, we'll learn about.

[Dr. Lea Trattan]

Victims and survivors and you'll meet the.

[Angela Yee]

Team behind the scenes at othram, the Houston lab that takes on the most hopeless cases to finally solve the unsolvable.

[Dr. Lea Trattan]

Listen to America's Crime Lab on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

My name is Ed.

[DJ Envy]

Everyone say hello Ed.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Hello Ed.

[Lamel Plummer]

I'm from a very rural background myself. My dad is a farmer and my mom is a cousin. So like, it's not.

[Morgan State]

What do you get when a true crime producer walks into a comedy club?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I know it sounds like the start of a bad joke, but that really.

[Morgan State]

Was my reality nine years ago.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I just normally do straight stand up, but this is a bit different. On stage stood a comedian with a story that no one expected to hear. On 22 July 2015, 23 year old.

[Lamel Plummer]

Man had killed his family.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And then.

[Lamel Plummer]

He came to my house.

[Morgan State]

So what do you get when a.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

True crime producer walks into a comedy club? A new podcast called Wisecrack where stand.

[Morgan State]

Up comedy and murder take center stage. Available now. Listen to Wisecrack on the iHeartRadio app.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcast. What would you do if one bad decision forced you to choose between a maximum security prison or the most brutal boot camp designed to be hell on earth? Unfortunately for Mark Lombardo, this was the choice he faced. He said, you are a number, a New York state number and we own you. Shock Incarceration, also known as boot camps, are short term, highly regimented correctional program programs that mimic military basic training. These programs aim to provide a shock of prison life, emphasizing strict discipline, physical training, hard labor and rehabilitation programs. Mark had one chance to complete this program and had no idea of the hell awaiting him the next six months. The first night was overwhelming and you don't know who's next to you and we didn't know what to expect. Expect in the morning, nobody tells you anything. Listen to Shock incarceration on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Lamel Plummer]

Interesting and humbling and Rewarding experience to see this and to live it and dream it and. Yeah, it's beautiful, man.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So.

[DJ Envy]

And what happened with Clarissa Shields? Did y' all make her an offer to be on one of these shows?

[Lamel Plummer]

Yeah, you know, I think somebody on our team might have reached out to. To Tasiki, and. I'm sorry, her name. What's her name again?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Clarissa Shields.

[Lamel Plummer]

Clarissa Shields. Yeah. So I think they reached out to her to try to see if we could do a exhibition between her and Tasiki. And I don't know, Tzatziki needed a little bit more time to train and.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Prep for it, but she'll get knocked out.

[Lamel Plummer]

You think so?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Absolutely.

[Lamel Plummer]

I think that would be a good fight.

[DJ Envy]

Tasiki is a shield.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Is a professional boxer. You don't play boxing, Lumel?

[Lamel Plummer]

Yeah, I don't.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't play rap. Can't play boxing.

[Lamel Plummer]

But. But, yeah, I think that would be a box.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You box?

[Lamel Plummer]

I. You know, I don't box, but I thought you boxed. No, no, I thought you said that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Earlier when you said.

[Lamel Plummer]

No, no, I said. I said I would box.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Ray J. I would box.

[Jessica]

Ray J.

[Lamel Plummer]

No, I said I'm an athlete at heart, but I would. I would box. If. If folks wanted to see Ray J and I in the ring, I would be interested. You know, I think that'd be cool for the viewers. I think a lot of folks would subscribe.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You have a billion dollar valuation. Don't start jumping all in front of the camera doing goofy action that now. Okay. We're jumping on rap records. Like, why? Like, don't start doing that now after you get the billion dollar valuation. You've been good thus far.

[Lamel Plummer]

That's true. That's true. So, you know, we have to be very strategic, but because I know back.

[DJ Envy]

To Clarissa, I think she said that she couldn't do it because they wouldn't sign off. That if she. Yeah, that if she gets a chick, they can't sue her.

[Lamel Plummer]

Yeah. But I think in the exhibition world, in space, I think you. I think there is some flexibility there. So I think the contracts. We just have to work out whatever potential liabilities. But I think it would be very entertaining fight. I hear you. You say Tasiki's not a fighter, but.

[Jessica]

He did not say no.

[Lamel Plummer]

I mean, not a professional fighter. I'm sorry.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You getting knocked out. I'm telling you, I don't care how much you think you can fight on the street.

[Lamel Plummer]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You get in the ring with a real box. Are you going to sleep?

[Lamel Plummer]

Yeah, that's true.

[Angela Yee]

Do you see the video of diamond body trying to training with.

[Lamel Plummer]

Yeah, Diamond. I. I think she's prepping for the reunion. The last reunion. She got her. Her tooth knocked out by Tasiki, and.

[DJ Envy]

That'S crazy, you know?

[Lamel Plummer]

Did she sue? No. Well, it wasn't. She can't sue us. I mean, maybe she could sue Taziki.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Insurance is the Zeus Network.

[DJ Envy]

That's what I'm saying.

[Lamel Plummer]

Listen, you know, it's. It. Yes, the insurance is. Is a thing, but. But yeah, these reunions, the girls, the ladies are. I mean, it's intense. You know, they're going at it pretty. Pretty aggressively, but we do our best to manage the situations. But in that situation, like, they both asked to square up, so we give him a couple seconds, you know. You know, just to kind of go ahead. Are you sure? And so she wanted to square up with Tasiki, and it just happened.

[DJ Envy]

Lamel Plummer is still here. You know him. CEO of Zeus Network.

[Jessica]

Jess, please tell me.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What?

[Jessica]

Look, are you really with Scotty?

[Lamel Plummer]

Oh, yeah.

[Caller/Listener]

I'm Eggs.

[Jessica]

Look, I get all the food from my little sister. She is a Zeus fan. Fan. Fan. We, you know, we watch. Of course. You know, I watch y' all since Cabaret. But she watched all the shows, right? And she's like, he coming up there. Ask him, is he really with my girl? Because, you know, my sister loves Scotty.

[Lamel Plummer]

You really were.

[Jessica]

You know, they know, you know.

[Lamel Plummer]

No, I would say. I appreciate you asking me that question. Scottie is absolutely amazing. She's beautiful. Yes, she is. She and I are definitely, you know, dating. And, you know, we're figuring out, you know, we're developing our relationship.

[DJ Envy]

He got a show with his. That's not on tv, right?

[Lamel Plummer]

No, no, no, no, no.

[DJ Envy]

Put his own life on tv.

[Jessica]

He is one baddies, though. Yeah, she is. Well, yeah, she is one of the best.

[Lamel Plummer]

So. So no, but real talk. She's.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She's great.

[Lamel Plummer]

And we're developing our relationship and we're. We're seeing where it takes us, but.

[DJ Envy]

That sounds like an HR problem right there.

[Lamel Plummer]

No, no, no. She's great, but she's great. She's great. And she. She's amazing. And, you know, I know. I know, folks, and I. I want to be careful because there's a lot of things I haven't addressed about my personal life because I do like to keep it private. Yeah. But I do want to say how.

[Jessica]

Let me be putting videos there, girl. Twerking.

[Lamel Plummer]

Well, that's, you know, throwing money. That's. That's that's marketing. We're a loud, provocative platform. You know, we, we generate a lot of views. That helps with our subscribers. You're the CEO, and that's okay. You know, it's okay.

[Angela Yee]

You know, I ain't saying nothing wrong.

[Jessica]

With it, but I'm saying when I see a video of you and your suite.

[Lamel Plummer]

Yeah.

[Jessica]

Throwing a bread.

[Lamel Plummer]

And Scotty, you know, Scotty is sexy. She's sexy very much. And, you know, sometimes folks like to see her doing her thing, you know, and she's. She's fun. She likes to have a lot of fun. She likes to, you know, she's a sweetheart. She likes to have fun. She's great.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Right.

[Lamel Plummer]

But I do want to say, could.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You be with one woman?

[Lamel Plummer]

You know, I, I, I've said I'm, you know, I'm at this place where I'm, I'm still.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, shut the up.

[Lamel Plummer]

I'm being honest.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I, I am say. No, man.

[Lamel Plummer]

I am. I am. And I've said it before. I am finding me. I'm finding. And I think that's important. I, I do.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I do. I never heard that one.

[DJ Envy]

Finding me.

[Angela Yee]

And I think right now.

[Lamel Plummer]

Yeah.

[Angela Yee]

Because I don't tune into everything baddy, but I remember when it was the son of girl claims, and then the whole thing. You were in a relationship with. Her name is Janisha.

[Lamel Plummer]

Yeah.

[Angela Yee]

And she was one of the producers on the show.

[Lamel Plummer]

So. Janisha. So Janisha. Janisha and I, we were in a relationship for seven years. We were in a very traditional girlfriend, boyfriend relationship for seven years. Janisha is absolutely beautiful inside and out, and I love her. She's great. We're. We're friends, you know, And I. And I. I know there's a lot of rumors out there. No, there's. There's a.

[Jessica]

Woman right there.

[Lamel Plummer]

I will say, you know, Janisha is great. And, and again, we have a great friendship, a great relationship, and she's doing her thing, and I'm proud of her. But I do see a lot of rumors out there that, About Scotty and Janisha. I hate to see people coming at either one of them. You know, it's not fair. It's not okay. Because if anything, it is on me. You know what I mean? It's on me. You know, I make every decision as it pertains to my personal life. And for me, when I was saying I was finding myself, I'm not really saying that as an excuse to do whatever. To do just whatever. It was really, it was a situation where, you know, I was Finding myself, when it came to my spirituality, when it came to, you know, relationships, and really what that meant, because it was like, you know, monogamy is one thing. Polyamory, polygamy. You know, all these thoughts are coming to your brain. I don't. You know, I've never been married. I've never been engaged. I've never known Janisha, and I have never. And that's not. Not to downplay our relationship. We just, you know, we were very much in love, and, you know, we still love each other and have love for each other, but we're just not together anymore. And I am dating, you know, Scotty, I guess that I've never been married, never been engaged, never had children, and I've just been kind of, you know, at a place where I'm just like, all right, what am I doing?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know, you be with one woman. Lamel.

[Lamel Plummer]

That's a great question. I don't. I don't know yet. I don't know you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Please.

[Lamel Plummer]

How do I look?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You look young, late 20s.

[Lamel Plummer]

Thank you.

[Jessica]

Man looks like, you know, almost.

[Lamel Plummer]

Yeah, I'm in my 30s, but I. I just. I feel like, like I said, I. I'm just. Life. Life.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The women asking you.

[Lamel Plummer]

No, I know.

[Angela Yee]

Trying to find the right words.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Can you be with.

[Lamel Plummer]

Can I. Can I. Can I be. I am. I'm being. I am being careful because it is sensitive. I don't know. I don't. You know, we're. We're in a new. A new era, you know, 20, 25. And, you know, I have my theories, my thoughts about life. I don't. You know, when I think about marriage, you know, it does scare me. My parents were married for over 30 years, and it was very hard to see them get a divorce. And that kind of impacted my life, you know, tremendously. I love both of my parents. My dad is my hero. My mom is my heart. And so for me to see them, you know, separate and divorce and, you know, all of our siblings, we were very close. It was very hard, and it was very discouraging. And so for me, like, I don't want to be a cheater in a. In a marriage. I don't want to be labeled that. You know what I mean? And so it's kind of like, you know, I just want to get it all out. It's not even getting it all out. I just think it's very hard for men to be in a monogam, like, being monogamous. You know what I mean? I do. I think if you had to Be real. Like, what is. It just gets to a point where it's like, what is cheating? Is it just physical? Is it mental and physical? Is it emotional? And so I just, you know, thinking about these different things, I just. It's just hard for me to try to, you know, it's not hard.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

When you find your person. Yeah, I'll say that. When you find your one. When you find your person, it's not as hard as you think.

[Lamel Plummer]

So you. You're married, right?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes, sir.

[Lamel Plummer]

And you've been married for.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I've been married for 10. Yeah, 12 years now.

[Lamel Plummer]

Were you married prior or this?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, it's my first marriage. Okay.

[Lamel Plummer]

Yeah. So.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But I mean, to your point, I.

[DJ Envy]

Was the same person.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I definitely wasn't, you know, always faithful. But, you know, when I did make that commitment to my wife and say, hey, this is what I want to do for my wife and my family and myself and be a faithful man, it's not always. Not always. You find your person.

[Jessica]

No.

[Lamel Plummer]

Yeah. And I. And I appreciate that, you know, that. That, you know, feedback and just also, you know, you're, you know, hearing that from you as a man. You know, it's hard for men to. I don't know, it's just. It's. It's. I don't want to say to be loyal or to just be with one woman, but I don't know, I just. I hate the idea of hurting someone to that degree. If I'm in, I'm making an oath under God and, you know, my family, her family, it's just. It just feels like, you know, I don't want to say a lot of pressure, but it just. I just. I don't know. I.

[DJ Envy]

You're not ready for it.

[Caller/Listener]

Yeah.

[Lamel Plummer]

Yeah. Just like I said, I'm finding me, man. And like I said.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Are you being honest like this with these women?

[Lamel Plummer]

Oh, yeah, 100%. You know, I've been honest with everybody. I mean, they may not like it, they may not want to hear it, but I think they appreciate the honesty of it all, the transparency.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Can you be cool with it?

[Lamel Plummer]

No, not at all. I mean, that honesty I wouldn't support because, you know, I think that you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Spend too much money on them.

[Lamel Plummer]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

I wouldn't say.

[Lamel Plummer]

I wouldn't say I spend too much money. I just think that I do want to make sure I'm supporting the person that I'm dating and that I'm with. And I don't think it's always reciprocated of what they could do for Me and what I can do for them, and that's okay. You know, I think I do go above and beyond, you know, the scope of, of maybe what's required in a traditional relationship. I. I am not a trick. I am not. Yeah, no, I'm not. I'm not tricking. I'm not a trick. I'm not a pimp. I'm not any of those things. I've never been those.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Spending no money on somebody that you're dealing with, though.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, I think somebody that, you know.

[Jessica]

That'S what he's saying.

[Lamel Plummer]

Yeah, I think. I think.

[Angela Yee]

But he planned to have a cast, though. He said he can't be with one woman.

[Lamel Plummer]

Not a cast.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You're an interesting individual.

[Lamel Plummer]

Thank you, man.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I enjoy talking to you.

[Lamel Plummer]

Thank you so much. And can I, can I shout out a few people, just if y' all okay with that? Well, I just want to say I do appreciate because there are folks that really work hard behind the scenes and there's a lot of folks that, you know, we've been employing like hundreds of people at thousands at this point of folks. But our presidents, you know, Jason Tolbert and L.J. and Shane Norman, you know, I love you guys and I appreciate, appreciate all the hard work because without them, you know, Zeus wouldn't be what it is as well.

[Jessica]

That's my guy. Lj, My guy.

[Lamel Plummer]

Yeah, lj, My brother. And he just had a baby, so I'm, I'm really happy for him.

[Jessica]

Congratulations, L.J.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Something from Kendrick on Instagram. No.

[Lamel Plummer]

Drake.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Drake.

[DJ Envy]

But that's going to be something from Drake.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, I'm sure some random meme about something I don't know.

[Angela Yee]

No. According to Meta, Taylor Swift's engagement post got the record for most reposts on Instagram by hitting more than 2 million reposts in less than 24 hours.

[DJ Envy]

Wow.

[Angela Yee]

They are now at 9.9 million shares.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Wow.

[Angela Yee]

32 million likes. Likes and 2.5 million reposts.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's not surprising. People love Taylor Swift. She's white, and white people love Taylor Swift.

[Angela Yee]

Oh, well, you know, I just had to mention it. Did y' all see this?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And the real Swifties can name three of her songs.

[Angela Yee]

I'm not a Swifty.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, okay.

[Angela Yee]

I've said that multiple times. I don't have the bracelet. I'm not Swifty.

[DJ Envy]

She couldn't even name two.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I know.

[Angela Yee]

First of all, I named two.

[DJ Envy]

No, you didn't.

[Angela Yee]

I said shake it off in bad blood. And y' all didn't give me bad blood because y' all said. I looked it up.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

America's sweetheart. Okay, none of that is surprising.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah.

[Jessica]

You want to know her songs?

[Angela Yee]

I don't know, but I know a.

[Jessica]

Couple of songs that come come to mind right now.

[Angela Yee]

Literally. Shake it Off. Then you got bad blood.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes, but don't let them distract you. See, this is what I be talking to you about. You like Taylor for a specific reason.

[Angela Yee]

I love Taylor Swift because I feel like Taylor Swift understands how to work her audience. She is a. She's so smart.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like, her brand.

[Angela Yee]

Her. Yes, I'm getting there. Her brand.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Her.

[Angela Yee]

Even the way they did this, like, engagement, it was like, oh, she pops up on the podcast being so cute with her boyfriend.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Everything's so performative, and it's curated.

[Angela Yee]

But listen, there's a lot of people that curate and do all this stuff, and their fans don't feel like you their best friend. Her fans literally, like, Live and Die by Taylor Swift. They feel like they're her best friend.

[DJ Envy]

She does an amazing job with it.

[Jessica]

Everybody, fan beasts feel like that. Like, the Barbs feel like Nicki is their best friend. Beyonce feel like Beyonce is their mother.

[Angela Yee]

Those are moguls you just named, though. And that's what I'm saying. She's younger, and I realized this during the ERAS tour.

[DJ Envy]

But they don't pull up like Taylor Swift. Fans. Taylor Swift fans. They gonna make sure her stu crazy.

[Jessica]

Ain't nobody on Michael Jackson level.

[DJ Envy]

I'm sure Taylor Swift fans pass out. I'm sure they pass out. I'm sure them little girls pass out.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What are you trying to say? I just want to make sure. Cuz I missed the part where you. Did you say Taylor was bigger than Michael Jackson?

[DJ Envy]

I did not say Taylor was bigger than Michael Jackson.

[Angela Yee]

I was like, what is.

[DJ Envy]

Where did you get that from? I didn't say.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I heard just say the thing about passing out.

[DJ Envy]

She said Michael Jackson fans pass out. I said, I'm sure Taylor Swift fans pass out too.

[Angela Yee]

But there she got teachers canceling classes because she got engaged. I saw a article about a teacher teacher who was so overwhelmed they had to cancel class.

[DJ Envy]

I'm pulling my kids from that school.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah.

[Jessica]

What is happening?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Passing out over Taylor Swift.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah, the teacher didn't pass out. The teacher said that they were just.

[Jessica]

Like, they couldn't even finish the class.

[Angela Yee]

There was a lot going on.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I thought about that yesterday, though. That's why. That's why she made her engagement public. Because she puts all her relationships in her music, right?

[Angela Yee]

Yes, but that's why even if you're not like a Swifty, you feel like. That's why I was genuinely, genuinely happy for her. Because normally the relationships don't work out and then she go make music about it. Now down she locked in.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I ain't gonna say I'm happy. I just don't care.

[Angela Yee]

I was happy for her. I like fairy tales. I was happy to see she finally got her person.

[Jessica]

But anyway, like, because we've seen her through, through relationships and when we've heard about them in the music, like you said. But yes, I. I think this. Now she gonna make love music because it's usually like bad boycott music with love music.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You look at Coco Jones engagement as a fairy tale.

[Angela Yee]

Oh, my God. Yes. I love Coco.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm just making sure I didn't hear you use those words.

[Angela Yee]

Were you, Were you in here when we had the conversation with Coco? And I was. Was like, girl, you are so happy. You are glowing. I'm so happy for you. I am.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

They just got engaged last week. I ain't hear you use the words.

[Angela Yee]

Like that was not last week. And when the engagement happened, we talked about it and we talked to her about it when she.

[Jessica]

When you walked in, period.

[Angela Yee]

We going to keep moving because speaking of numbers and women, let's go to Cardi B.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Because Cardi B, this defense, fairy tale.

[Angela Yee]

Cardi B was back on the stand. Let me tell y' all something, okay? You talking about animated fairy tales or just animated anything? Cardi B gonna give it to you. So she was on the stand yesterday, and she stood on business when it came to this trial because you know she's being sued for millions of dollars right now.

[DJ Envy]

What color wig did she have on this time yesterday?

[Angela Yee]

She had on a black wig. And we're gonna get into the wigs because I got some numbers. Let's take a listen to Cardi B standing on business.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Tell us in your own words what you said.

[Angela Yee]

I said get the out my face.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Why are you in my face?

[Lamel Plummer]

Why are you recording me?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Ain't you supposed to be security?

[Jessica]

Tell it to her now.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Go ahead. Huh? Say it again.

[DJ Envy]

Same objection, your honor.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I want you to tell it to her face what you said on that day so she can hear it for herself.

[Lamel Plummer]

And if you wanted to scratch or.

[DJ Envy]

Cut her face with your right hand or your left hand, if you wanted.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

To do it, you could have done it. Correct?

[Jessica]

But I didn't because I had a baby inside me.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

How do you. How did she know?

[DJ Envy]

Are you disabled? Yes or no?

[Angela Yee]

At that moment when you're pregnant?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm very disabled. You.

[Angela Yee]

You want me to tell you things I can't do?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Fine.

[DJ Envy]

What was your.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You said she's bigger than you.

[DJ Envy]

Is that correct?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Ab. Absolutely. How do you know that?

[Angela Yee]

I mean, look, love to see. So Cardi B has been her own. Well, there was a. An assistant yesterday from the medical office that got on the stand as well. But for the most part, Cardi B has been her business, best own witness. She's been able to recount everything. She's being super honest about what she feels is happening. She's doing an amazing job on the stand.

[Jessica]

When I say the prosecutor, that's prosecutor, right? The guy in Target. He's the dumbest, yo, he is crazy.

[Angela Yee]

They were coming at her so bad yesterday. They were trying to make her say.

[Jessica]

He was really trying to like literally.

[Angela Yee]

Say it to her face. Talking about the, you know, the claims that Cardi B said that the girl was big.

[Jessica]

He wanted her to say. He wanted her to look at the jewelry, look like, look at the jury and tell them exactly what she. At some point, the judge was even like, look, yo, that's. Calm down.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Can we go back to her wigs? Cardi wigs be looking so good. Cuz the last couple of years, I'm so used to seeing trash ass wigs up close and personal. But that wig her wigs be looking so amazing.

[DJ Envy]

They look like real hair. When she wore a short wig that day, they was like, this is not my hair.

[Angela Yee]

I'm like, oh, how much. I think. How much I think Cardi spends on her wigs just for. Just for this trial alone. How much I think Cardi has spent on her wigs more than you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You do. Oh, why you do that? Why did you do that? That was unnecessary.

[Angela Yee]

That ain't no this.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That was so unnecessary.

[Angela Yee]

Got Cardi B. Got all that yellow money. She got Birkins. But listen, so I did some digging. I spoke to Chris. Chris is the manager for Tokyo Styles, was Cardi B's hairstylist. He told me that for this Tokyo Style. Yeah, shout out to Tokyo Styles. She slays down. For this trial alone, Cardi B. Is spending up to 45, 000, or will spend that by the time this trial is over, because her plan is to do a different wig every single day, period. She. $1,500 just for the unit, about $5,000 a day just to retain her hair. Stylist.

[Jessica]

Yo, the judge even complimented one of them. He said, oh, that's a good wig today. We have that many like the one the day before.

[Angela Yee]

Take a listen to that audio.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yesterday you had black hair, short hair. Today it's blonde and long. Which one is your real hair? Or are they both real? They're wigs. Okay, sorry, I didn't know that. It's a good week today. That's a good week today. Words somebody that I know will never hear. Wow.

[Angela Yee]

That was opposing counsel. That wasn't the judge. Because.

[Jessica]

Okay, yeah.

[Angela Yee]

Because at the end of it, if he. If Charlamagne wouldn't have been up here talking and hating at the end of it. He also asked her. This was the day before yesterday, too. He also asked her, is she a gang affiliate? And she doesn't answer. And then the judge said, says, counsel, you know better. So they stop it, because they've been coming at her. But, yeah, $45,000 by the end of this trial.

[DJ Envy]

The crazy thing about this is. And this is what I don't understand. When they have. When they do depositions and things like this, why does it matter what wig she had on yesterday or what wig she had on today? What does that have to do with the case? Because she said, what.

[Angela Yee]

What.

[DJ Envy]

What did you. What were you wearing that day? She said, I don't remember. I changed my hairstyles all the time.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Hey, I don't know, but salute to Tokyo Styles. I know they Giving her free product after this.

[Angela Yee]

No, listen, listen. Let me tell y' all something. Tokyo is big already. Tokyo's getting products already.

[Jessica]

But the Jenner's hair, she.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah, Tokyo slays down. But what I was also told is while all this is happening, right, Cardi's still in album rollout mode. So for instance, yesterday they were. She did court. They got her ready for court. She went back, they got her ready for. They were shooting content. They were up until 5am she will then change, do the wigs and all the things all over again. Go to court and do it all over again. Because she promoting Amada drama as well. So she's dishing out the money, but she's working. And trial is also happening and she's having to be on stand. It's a whole thing.

[DJ Envy]

It's more.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah, but to answer your question, they brought up the wigs because they wanted to know what she was having on, but more so her nails are a thing because the woman is alleging that Cardi cut her with the nails. So they're asking her how she changes and does all the things glam wise.

[DJ Envy]

So she's filthy rich. She has a team.

[Angela Yee]

All right, well, they just want to know.

[DJ Envy]

That is the latest with Lauren again next hour. Just fix my mess. 800-585-1051. If you need some relationship advice. Charlamagne. Who you giving that down to, man?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Four after the hour, man. We need a Kansas man named Cleo Williams Jr. To come to the front of the congregation. He's a freak. But you know, you can be a freak at a very inappropriate, inopportune time.

[DJ Envy]

Cleo.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All right. Why the hell you screaming family after I told you this man is a freak?

[Angela Yee]

And then you gonna scream his name.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, no. Every day I wake up, wake your ass up. The Breakfast Club.

[DJ Envy]

Don't be out here acting like a donkey.

[Caller/Listener]

He haw.

[DJ Envy]

It's time for donkey of the Day.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm a big boy. I could take it if he feel I deserve it. Ain't no big deal.

[Lamel Plummer]

I know Charlamagne guy gonna have some funny out his mouth if you guys.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Say something you may not agree with. Doesn't mean I'm mean.

[DJ Envy]

Who's getting that donkey?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That donkey that don't, don't, don't, don't, don't. Donkey of the day right there. Such a Breakfast Club call me the.

[Jessica]

Donkey of the day.

[DJ Envy]

I mean, no, Excuse me.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Donkey of the day for Thursday, August 28th goes to a 44 year old Kansas man named Cleo Williams Jr. Sometimes I see Junior in people's names and I say, boy, that senior must be embarrassed, okay? And today is one of those days. See, Cleo Williams Jr. Is a freaky ass boy. And we all just need to come to the realization that there's some people on this planet who are always going to think with their little head, okay? Regardless of what the circumstance is, regardless of what's going on in their life, cheeks are their driving force, okay? Cheeks rule everything around them, all right? Some folks have compromised their whole existence for cheeks, okay? It's true. They have absolutely zero, and I mean zero, de discipline. And when you don't have any de discipline, you're done for out here, okay? A man has to learn to control three things. His stomach, his tongue and his pee penis, okay? A man that has learned to control those three things to solve 99 of those problems, okay? Well, Cleo got a lot to learn because according to court records, back In December of 2024, police were responding to a domestic disturbance. And while officers were arresting Cleo, he did something very inappropriate to an officer. What did he do, Uncle Charlotte? Well, this man was getting arrested and decided as he was getting arrested that he just couldn't resist kissing the arresting officer on their neck. And this week he was found guilty of sexual battery against a police officer. Who knew put your hands behind your back with such a pickup line, okay? I've heard of people trying to talk nice to cops, even trying to bribe cops with money or sexual favors, but this dude, Cleo didn't even ask. He just started applying affection, okay? It must have been the handcuffs. Some people sexualize handcuffs, okay? That's why they sell them in sex stores. People like to control the power exchange. They like that thrilling submissive dynamic, that feeling of vulnerability and surrender. People find that exciting. And Cleo must have been one of those people, okay? Handcuffs are are sexualized because of their association with control, okay? That power exchange, that intense desire that creates a thrilling submissive dynamic, okay? That's what some individuals find very exciting. Okay? I said it. I said that. I said that twice on purpose, okay? He got them handcuffed handcuffs, okay? Put on him by that officer and he turned into a vampire. He went straight for the neck. Do you know the level of extra horny human you have to be to be getting put in handcuffs by a police officer? And as you getting put in handcuffs, you kiss a police officer's neck. Now, it doesn't say whether the officer was a man or a woman, okay? But if it was a man, the friskiness of Cleo don't make any sense because you're going to jail. You can kiss all the men's you want to in jail, unless of course, you really, really, really, you know, get bricked up over uniform. But if the officer was a woman, you kissed her on the neck because you wanted to get one little taste of female flesh before they put you in that cell surrounded by pork whistles. Okay? I wish I could say this word on the radio because D Discipline don't hit like when you say Dick Gregory. But my brothers, you got to have D Discipline, okay? Sexual discipline. I'll say that. Sexual discipline, okay? Sexual discipline. You have to learn to have, okay? Because you got to redirect that energy towards being productive. You want productive goals, not short term pleasures. Okay? This man, Cleo Williams Jr. Is getting sentenced on September 26th, all because he let stop and frisk, turn to stop and kiss. Please Give Cleo Williams Jr. The Sweet Sounds of the hammer tones.

[DJ Envy]

Of the day.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You are the doggie.

[Dr. Lea Trattan]

Sometimes it's hard to remember, but going.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Through something like that is a traumatic experience. But it's also not the end of your life.

[Dr. Lea Trattan]

That was my dad reminding me and so many others who need to hear it that our trauma is not our shame to carry and that we have big, bold and beautiful lives to live after what happened to us. I'm your host and co president of this organization, Dr. Lea Trattan. On my new podcast, the Unwanted Sorority, we wade through transformation to peel back healing and reveal what it actually looks like and sounds like in real time. Each week, I sit down with people who've lived through harm, carried silence, and are now reshaping the systems that failed us. We're going to talk about the adultification of black girls mothering as resistance and the tools we use for healing. The Unwanted Sorority is a safe space, not a quiet space. So let's lock in. We're moving towards liberation together. Listen to the Unwanted Sorority. New episodes every Thursday on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Honey German]

And of course, we'll explore deeper topics dealing with identity struggles and all the issues affecting our Latin community. You feel like you get a little whitewashed because you have to do the code switching.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Hamilton pauses and then he says, the greatest man that ever lived was Julius Caesar. And Jefferson writes in his diary, this proves that Hamilton is for a dictator based on corruption.

[Lamel Plummer]

My favorite line was what Neil Armstrong said. It would have been harder to fake it than to do it.

[Angela Yee]

I'm all up in your mess.

[Jessica]

I'mma fix it, fix it, fix it. Just gonna fix your mess. Cause my advice is real.

[DJ Envy]

Morning, everybody. It's the dj Envy Jess. Hilarious. Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club. It's time for Jess. Fix My Mess. We got Stephanie on the line. Stephanie, what's up?

[Caller/Listener]

Yo, good morning.

[DJ Envy]

Good morning, Steph. What's your question for Jess?

[Caller/Listener]

So I was recently married for about six and a half years. And my ex husband now brought this girl around. She was real cool. We, you know, hung out, all of that. Things just started getting weird. So I had a conversation with her, like, hey, I don't play about my family. Yada yada it with the skip, fast forward. That man is with this girl to this day.

[Jessica]

So while he was your husband, he introduced you to a girl, made it seem like that was his home girl and everything and all that. And you got to know her. Everything was cool, but they were messing with each other the whole time.

[Caller/Listener]

He says no, but I went to his phone when we were married and seen that he was like paying for waxes. She was meeting him at hotel rooms. He had paid to get her window fixed.

[Angela Yee]

Okay.

[Caller/Listener]

Then he had left, came back. We stayed together about a year, went on a family vacation and come back. He went right back to her house.

[DJ Envy]

And her house is right around the corner.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Right.

[Caller/Listener]

She live about a bridge away in Cleveland. It's close.

[Jessica]

Yeah. Okay, so what's your question? What you, what you doing? Are you. I. I shown.

[Caller/Listener]

I'm just trying to stay out of jail because every time I see them, I want to pop off. They looking at me like I'm walking. And I'm like, I'm not tripping. You bought this girl around, and now I'm just supposed to be like, okay, well, you just moved on. No, you had this girl picking my kids up from school. She was kicking it with us.

[Jessica]

Oh, no.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Damn.

[Jessica]

Damn. Okay, so what did the conversation go like, did you divorced him? Like, what happened when you brought it to his attention that you knew? Cause you went through that phone. Like, how did it end? Or did it end? What happened?

[Caller/Listener]

Oh, we were still messing around up until he was a couple of months ago, until I moved to Georgia. I mean, shame on me. I should have realized that, you know, I shouldn't have been messing with him. But I've known him since I was a kid. We were together 14 years, married seven.

[Jessica]

Yeah, well, that's the thing. You thought you know him. For as long as you've been knowing them, you thought you knew him. But that just goes to show you, man, you still never know what people got going on. And it makes it hard for you to trust after that, because you've been knowing this man since you were a kid. Y' all got married, and he still has, man, that's the crazy thing. Is she a side piece if she was technically with him before y' all got married?

[Caller/Listener]

I think she was with him before we got married.

[Jessica]

Yeah, that's what it sounds like.

[Caller/Listener]

Because I would come home some days and they would be in the house, and they would be like, oh, well, I just got here. I pulled up, girl.

[Jessica]

And I tell you right now, once.

[Caller/Listener]

Me and you got into it, you should have called me up like, hey, your dude showed up to my house. I don't know what's going on. I'm friends with both of y'. All. But this is what it is, is she ain't saying nothing.

[Jessica]

No, no. Block my number.

[Caller/Listener]

Block my oldest daughter's number. They even come up to my house together.

[Jessica]

Nah, see, look, her and him been.

[Caller/Listener]

Pulling up, so I moved.

[Jessica]

I'mma put. Okay, I'mma put some of this on you, though. Cause ain't no way I'm coming home and I see you already in my house. I don't give a damn who you was introduced to me as. Ain't no woman about to be up in my house when I come home with my husband. I don't care if the that's his friend. That's his female cousin, that's somebody he called his sister. I don't care. I don't care. I don't care. Unless you are his mother or my mother. No, it doesn't work like that. So I'm gonna put some of that on you because I think you turned a blind eye to a lot of it. Because I see it. He made her, and. And. And I get it. You know what I mean? He made. He introduced it. He introduced. He made you feel comfortable around her and vice versa. But at the same time, as a woman, oh, no, certain things are just inappropriate. You don't do that. So I think you did the right thing, and you don't need to go to jail over that. That. That been. Look, that been done. You just ain't know that been done, child.

[Caller/Listener]

It's just so crazy. We be out places, and me and my kids see them at the store, and I'm like, you can't go over there and talk to them right now. Yeah, my kids is old enough to the point that they know better. They, like. They don't even want nothing to do with their dad because of the situation. And he's cool with the.

[Jessica]

Well, if he cool with it. Look, it ain't no. It ain't nothing up no sweat off your back. You did what you could do. You. Out of that situation. You. You live in a different state, different city now. Don't worry about it. Don't worry about it.

[Caller/Listener]

Okay.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Just.

[Caller/Listener]

Thank you so much. God bless, everybody. Congratulations on the baby. And, yeah, I own up to that. It was just real crazy.

[Jessica]

I got you.

[Lamel Plummer]

Good luck.

[Jessica]

[Caller/Listener]

[Jessica]

Even more like support. No, no, no. How did this even happen? Please don't tell me you was chilling with your cousin one time and she came in the house, and then y' all started flirting way back when or whatever, and that's how it happened. Please.

[Caller/Listener]

Hey, you got the script? Yes.

[Jessica]

Okay, okay. Another goddamn TV movie. Where you calling from?

[Caller/Listener]

Hey. Calling out the Arkansas.

[Jessica]

Oh, Lord. All right, so when you gonna tell your cousin? Because you got to tell your cousin.

[Caller/Listener]

Honey, I gotta tell him.

[Jessica]

Yeah, you gotta tell him. Obviously. He's your close cousin. This ain't. This ain't one of the cousins that you just see every few years. This ain't the cousin that you don't really talk to like that. This your guy. Cause you was chilling over his house when you met his girlfriend and started smashing her. So I noticed. Is this some type of.

[Caller/Listener]

But they. Damn. But they being broke up, though.

[Jessica]

But she still lived there. And he ain't over that, or he would have left. He ain't over that. That's his girl. They just going through a rough patch.

[Caller/Listener]

What I'm being told.

[Jessica]

But look, though, look, I ain't gonna hold you. I was messing with a one time, right?

[Lamel Plummer]

Come on.

[Jessica]

This was back in the day, right? I was messing with one time, and he bought his homeboys around. I was like, damn, I should have waited to see, like, all the homeboys before I made my decision or whatever. Cause I was like, like, damn, man, his homeboy looked better than him, Got a better job than him, got mad hand, no kids, everything. So you gotta wait.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And I won't even shut up.

[Jessica]

I don't want to hear that. It's still your fault. You gotta talk to your cousin. But I, I, I understand how that could have happened. But you, You. You gotta. You gotta talk to your cousin. You gotta say you gotta tell him.

[Caller/Listener]

Trying to figure something.

[Jessica]

All right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All right.

[Caller/Listener]

[Jessica]

No problem.

[Lamel Plummer]

You have a good.

[Jessica]

[Jessica]

Lauren be coming.

[DJ Envy]

She gets them from somebody that knows somebody.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Some. She gets the details.

[Angela Yee]

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

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She be having the latest on the Latest with Lauren LaRosa. Sometimes you have facts. Sometimes you have details, sometimes you have a little bit everything. Well, it's the latest on the Breakfast Club. Talk to me.

[Angela Yee]

So congratulations goes to Cam Newton. It was announced yesterday that him and ESPN have reached a multi. A multi year agreement. He will be expanding his role on esp. First Take. So Cam Newton says in a quote or in a statement that he's excited to be back with First Take in their team to share his voice on all things sports. This is an incredible opportunity for me to connect with fans and bring my passion and knowledge to a show I've always admired. So they're going to kick off his return coming up during a live show that they're going to do at Norfolk State University as a part of First Takes HBCU tour. They will also be a Delaware State University too. But yeah. So congratulations to him. Is. Is. I want to ask. Yes, it is.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Drop on the clues Bonds for Cam Newton. Cam is the last. A great, great sports media talent.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah, he is.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I mean he's great media talent period. But definitely in the sports media he thrives.

[Angela Yee]

I was about to say I don't know much about sports, but I do. I like. Shut up. I like watching him in his interviews. I feel like he's very entertaining and he says things that people don't typically say. He gonna say some things. I do have a question though, as a person that doesn't watch First Take all the time, but we reported about Shannon Sharpe and him having to back away from espn. Never happened. Is this because of that or is. Was there. Was. Was there rumblings of this prior to.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I think they signed people all the time. But Cameron's been on first stage.

[Angela Yee]

I know he's been because they said they're expanding, but I just didn't know. I felt like the timing was. Was like.

[Jessica]

Oh, like is he taking.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah, like the timing was very like ironic for me. But again, I'm looking as like from a pop culture standpoint.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't.

[Angela Yee]

I'm not a religious watcher.

[DJ Envy]

He's always been on there and I think Cam's voice is just getting louder and louder and louder with the things that he do. So I think it's the perfect time. Perfect decision.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, Cam. Cam would have. Cam would have got that deal regardless.

[Angela Yee]

Got you. Okay. Yeah. I mean, just wanted to know. I did reach out to try and ask elsewhere to the network as well too. No response. But I know you guys watch your social. I wanted to know now in other news. So boosie. So there's been a lot of conversation around Boosie lately because he recently took a plea deal and may be facing some jail time. And yesterday he was in court and he did an interview outside of court and wanted to speak to his fans a bit. Let's take a listen to this.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I want to put it behind me. I want to get it behind me.

[Jessica]

And get on with my life. You know, it's a lot of things this case has stopped me from doing, Traveling all across the world making.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So I just want to get it over with, you know, accept my guilty plea.

[Jessica]

I'm ready to get over.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Anything you want to say to your fans, just say a prayer for them. I just need prayer. I don't need nothing else. This is the most confusing case ever, because I swear I thought that they announced that he. It was dropped back, didn't they?

[Angela Yee]

He was confused, too. He thought it was dismissed as well, and it wasn't. So from what it seems like they took it from. They just upped the levels. They took it from. It was in the state, and then they took it out of the state to a federal case from what it appears. But we're all a bit confused. But basically what.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The state case got dropped, and then it became federal.

[Angela Yee]

I don't know the exact. I don't. I can't answer that question.

[DJ Envy]

Is this the gun charge where he was shooting the video and they seen the gun in the video. Is that the one they talk. Is this one?

[Angela Yee]

No, this is actually the one where he was. So he. Yeah, so he was seen. Yes, that is it. He was seen on Instagram, Mr. Graham, with a gun while he was in San Diego. Then police later arrested him after using a helicopter to track the vehicle that he was in. So they pulled the car over during a traffic stop, and they found two guns inside the car. Now, originally, like I was mentioning, he faced state charges for the incident. His initial plan was to plead guilty with the expectation that he would then be sentenced to probation. But instead, the case ended up being dismissed before the plea deal could be reached. And then the federal prosecutor, prosecutors picked it up. So now he's still pleading guilty, but he's potentially looking at. At jail time. But that twist caught him off guard, and he actually had tweeted about it and talked about how the twist caught him off guard. He said he thought the case was over, he was going to get on with his life, But, God, don't make no mistakes. He's tired of firing, fighting. He talked to his family, and this is the right decision. To all my fans across the world, say a prayer for me and go get the new album. And I did speak to his publicist this morning as well, just to kind of see what awaiting sentencing looks like for him because the sentencing will go down in November. And I asked her, what is he to do going, going to be doing in that time? And she says, you know, he spent a lot of time with his family. Of course he's going to keep praying because he wants it to end up positive. But he's trying to stay on the lighter end. So he's making music, he's still working. And I asked her, you know, are y' all preparing for if it doesn't end up on the lighter and sentencing wise? And she said to me, boosie doesn't even think or lean that way. So, no, they have not even had that conversation.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What is he looking at?

[DJ Envy]

I thought he said two years.

[Angela Yee]

Well, that. I think that's like a middle men, a minimum. I can answer the question for you in a second. I don't know what he's looking at. Yeah, but, but I think for him, even if it's two years, three years, whatever, after all the jail time he's done in the past and in the big, you know, coming home, welcome home, Boosie being with his kids, he, you know, he has a fiance, newborn baby. He don't nobody want to go to jail for no time.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Ain't no such thing as a life sentence. People be just like, you know, you hear that? One, two, three. All right. Three years behind bars is a long time. That is not light. That's very, very heavy.

[DJ Envy]

You're right. You miss a lot.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah. Well, yeah, So I just wanted to update us there. But, you know, send that. They want to send the message that they want fans to keep praying and they're hoping for this to turn out positive for him.

[DJ Envy]

Salute to Boosie.

[Jessica]

Yeah, man.

[Angela Yee]

Yep, that's it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I want to say something. So, you know, I think it was last week President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that Smithsonian museums were out of control. Smithsonian, whatever. What did I say? Smithsonian museums were out of control. For posting, for emphasizing the negative parts of American history. You know, talking about how, you know, bad slavery was. You know, Then back in March, he issued an executive order calling for the Smithsonian to overhaul his collection and present a more celebratory view of the country. Well, it got me to thinking about how much we need to be supporting these institutions because they are telling accurate American history. So I decided to do something. I want to tell everybody in Charleston, South Carolina, that on Labor Day, which is this Monday, this weekend, September 1st, at noon, the International African American Museum is having a free yard party and free admission starting at noon. Okay? If you have never been to the International African American Museum in Charleston, South Carolina, or if you have been and want to go back this Monday, Labor Day, starting at noon, there is a free yard party in free admission courtesy of myself in the Black Effect podcast network. So everybody, everybody can go to the museum for free on this coming Monday at noon on Labor Day.

Backseat, they're probably happy.
