I've been on time all week so

[Charlamagne Tha God]

[Just Hilarious]

Come on.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

From last weekend. I'm trying to tell you, you gotta. I'm. Listen, I was born in 1978. I turned 48 years old on June 29th. So I'm not a person that be out three nights in a row.

[Just Hilarious]

Yo, we almost back at Friday. Another Friday.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't know what to tell you, okay? In fact, you gotta understand, we went to a concert Friday, Saturday and Monday.

[DJ Envy]

Monday.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So we went to a concert Friday, Saturday and Monday. I'm still. Still recovering and I've been. I've been back on my routine. I'm, you know, I'm working out and doing everything I'm supposed to do this week, but I'm still like, God dang, just tired. Still feel tired, man. But it's okay. It's okay. We'll get. We'll get back soon, all right?

[Just Hilarious]

Yeah, I feel good. I went. See, my husband's treated me towards a spa evening or whatever. He got back in town and he was able. I was able to go by myself. He was able to stay with the baby and his mother in law. Like I said, that's why I'm out all week. My mother in law nanny had surgery and so we had to have. We had to split up the time to have the kids or whatever. So.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So what do you call a spa weekend? Because I saw a video of your daughter Marley. How old is Marley now?

[Just Hilarious]

She's.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She'll be two August 20th and already giving pedicures.

[Just Hilarious]

All right, yo, no, chill.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I seen it with my own eyes. I don't know why y' all got that young Mexican lady girl working so hard early yo, called a young Mexican lady.

[Just Hilarious]

First of all, she one year old. She about to be two. I don't know where she's seen, like nail filing and how to do pedicures. But she'll go get her little pedicure kit and be like, mommy, I do your toes. I'm like, no, first of all, that's Korean. That's not even Mexican. So she really don't even know yet.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm like, it's just work, though. It's just work. Just still, the fact y' all already got her a pedicure kit, that says a lot.

[Just Hilarious]

We don't have it. She stole mine. I don't know where she saw it yet, but I mean, where she saw it to start mocking that. But that's what she like to do. So anyway, okay, so we go. Let's get the show cracking. Joining us today, we got.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's right.

[Just Hilarious]

Club. Good morning.

[DJ Envy]

Morning, everybody. Is DJ Envy. Just hilarious, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Start off with sports. Now, I ain't going front. I'm becoming a soccer fan, right? I just, I'm really enjoying it. And maybe it's because it's a competition of FIFA, but yesterday, Argentina played England. Argentina won 2 1. But England was in. In front the damn near the whole game until the last six minutes. In the last six minutes, Argentina scored two goals.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It was. I don't know what soccer, football, FIFA did this year, but it does feel like everybody is tapped in. Like, oh, man, I walk into facilities and people are sitting around watching the soccer game.

[DJ Envy]

Yes. Like, I'm like, when this happened yesterday, the game, the game at 3 o'. Clock. It was just a dope game, and my son loves it, so it's a chance to bond with him. But I watched the last yesterday, and I'm sitting there like, I'm really enjoying the game. Like, it was really good. So salute to Argentina. So Spain will play Argentina for the FIFA World cup final. That's Sunday, July 19th. All right. So I'm trying to get tickets. Tickets. When you think super bowl tickets are expensive, you think all these other tickets are expensive. You look up FIFA and they're like,

[Just Hilarious]

soccer is like that. It is like that.

[DJ Envy]

15, 000 a ticket. 18, 000 a ticket.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So, I mean, it's the most popular sport in the world.

[DJ Envy]

Jesus Christ. So, all right. What's up, Mimi?

[Mimi Brown]

Good morning, everyone. So we start this morning in Washington where President Trump, he is preparing to address the nation tonight in a primetime speech. So the president says he plans to make what he's calling a very big announcement with the major focus on election security and what he describes as free and fair elections. He is also expected to address the ongoing conflict with Iran. I spoke to Democratic strategist Ashley Etanine about what else we should be listening for tonight, and here's what she had to say.

[John Morgan]

Whether you're somebody who's working outdoors, you

[Charlamagne Tha God]

have an errand that you just can't

[John Morgan]

not do today or tomorrow.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't think that's the clip. That's definitely not the clip.

[DJ Envy]

He doesn't have that clip, Mimi.

[Mimi Brown]

No. From last night. Okay. Well, Ashley says that we should be paying attention to what he's going to talk about with the Iran war and the economy. So those two things. And she also said affordability, those are the things that are affecting Americans. And so she expects for us to hear some of that as well. Last tonight, Donald Trump is going to be.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Donald Trump's going to be discussing election security tonight, but he's also prepping to steal an election.

[Mimi Brown]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Which is a midterm.

[Mimi Brown]

We are, we are definitely going to hear what his plans are for the midterm elections.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Still. The midterms election. The midterm election.

[Mimi Brown]

Yes. That, that very big announcement. I'm sure that has something to do with that.

[DJ Envy]

Is it me or he's the president that talks to the public the most? I feel like he's always doing State of the Union address or State of address or press release. He's always doing something in the press. Nobody else feels that way.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

None of y' all care about him stealing the election. That's what Y' all care about him talking so much?

[Mimi Brown]

No, it's a. It's a. It's a really big thing, but I think we're gonna talk about it tomorrow. After he announces. Exactly.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He's gonna steal the election. Yes.

[Mimi Brown]

Yeah, pretty much. And so dangerous smoke from masses, massive wildfires. They are burning in Canada and spreading across parts of the United States this morning, and it's creating an unhealthy air quality for millions of Americans from the Midwest to the Northeast. So more than 830wildfires burning in Canada, forcing evacuations and thick smokes, you know, across the South. So most of that air quality now, though, is affecting Minnesota to New York. And in New York City, officials are urging people, especially children, older adults, pregnant women, and anyone with heart or lung disease to limit their town, their time outdoors. I think we have that off audio.

[John Morgan]

Whether you're somebody who's working outdoors, you have an errand that you just can't not do today or tomorrow, the best

[Charlamagne Tha God]

way to keep yourself safe is buying an N95 or KN95 grade mask.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, it's nasty and disgusting out there. They were saying that if you do have to go outside, like he said, wear a mask, but also try to stay inside. It was supposed to be a heat wave the last couple of days in New York City, but they're saying because of the haze, that the. The sun won't be able to shine to get over 90 degrees in most places. So it's. It's really affecting it.

[State Farm Commercial Voice]

Damn.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

This happens ever so often, though. I remember this happening a few years ago.

[DJ Envy]

A couple years ago.

[John Morgan]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

How do we know this is not a Terrigan? Miss. Oh, y' all don't read comic books? I'm sorry.

[Caller/Neil]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Marvel Terrigen misses a fictional mutagenic vapor that is released, and it turns people into Inhumans.

[Just Hilarious]

Okay, what's the next meme mean?

[DJ Envy]

I don't think that's it.

[Mimi Brown]

Well, forecasters say there could be some relief on the way, though. Rain is expected later this week, and it could help clear up some of that sky. But in the meantime. Yes. Take all the precautions for that dangerous air quality that is circulating, you know, all over the Northeast and also in the Midwest.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I wonder how that affects flights.

[Mimi Brown]

Well, that's a great question.

[Just Hilarious]

Yeah.

[Mimi Brown]

I wonder how that. How that. How airlines are dealing with that. So that's a good thing.

[Just Hilarious]

If you are.

[Mimi Brown]

If you do have a flight to check to. To take off, I would suggest calling the airline and kind of seeing what that looks like as well. Maybe Some Del there. But coming up at 7, we're going to talk more about. There were some heated exchanges yesterday on Capitol Hill between Todd Blanche and his hearing nomination with Senator also from Georgia. So we'll get into that in a seven.

[DJ Envy]

All right, everybody else, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, phone lines are wide open. Again, 1-800-585-1051. Call us up right now. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

[Caller/Neil]

This is your time to get it off your chest.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

[State Farm Commercial Voice]

Whether you're mad or blessed, it's time

[Charlamagne Tha God]

to get up and get something.

[State Farm Commercial Voice]

Hello?

[DJ Envy]

Hey, what's your name, brother?

[Caller/Neil]

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, first of all, what's your city?

[Caller/Neil]

We got the wild forest fires going on over here.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Caller/Neil]

In Canada.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah. It's affecting us as well. Is. Is very hazy, very nasty. The sky is disgusting. It's no sun is out. It's. And it smells like, you know, of course, fires burning. It's just, it's disgusting.

[Caller/Neil]

Yeah, I'm through too.

[DJ Envy]

That.

[Caller/Amy]

I'm.

[Caller/Neil]

I'm on the Breakfast Club. I listen to y' all every morning, shout out Charlamagne, Jess Lord, DJ Envy. Y' all probably the best in the business out here doing what y' all do.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We are. But listen, let me ask you a question. What causes the wildfires?

[DJ Envy]

So it's usually so dry, there's no water that the, the ground in the forest is dry, that it creates like these brush fires that the fire start and then the wind blows it and it just continues to get bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger. That's usually what. What starts it. It happens in Canada, California all the time.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm talking about Canada. I wonder what's called same thing in Canada.

[Caller/Neil]

I know in Detroit we known for dodging everything, so. But for us to be affected by smoke from a wildfire, that's high for us.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's happened before, though. Ain't the first time.

[DJ Envy]

Well, thank you, brother. Hello? Who's this?

Yes, we do. We're gonna talk about the ESPYs. They went down last night. A lot of good. A lot of good names there. A lot of good people honored. But also a little bit more about Jay Z, because some streams is booming. And I got a statement from Yankee Stadium people trying to figure out this fines and or not situation. I got an answer for you ain't.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's crazy. I don't know why they worried about them fines. Like, they got a pin.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I know, but that's just the thing that people do after stuff like this, I guess. But.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, but why does it matter? He still did a full show. Like, who cares who gets fined? Who didn't get fined?

[Lauren LaRosa]

They would be complaining more if they had to be arguing about whether they was getting their ticket money back or not.

[DJ Envy]

So if you got a fine or didn't get a fine, how does it affect people? People gonna pay the fine for them?

[Lauren LaRosa]

You know, they not. Okay, but we gotta answer.

[Just Hilarious]

All right.

[DJ Envy]

We'll get to that when we come back. It's the breakfast.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

[Lauren LaRosa]

[DJ Envy]

door and you could smell it and I was like, oh, he was sitting

[Lauren LaRosa]

right there at that seat.

[DJ Envy]

I was sitting at one.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Oh.

[DJ Envy]

And they opened up that door and

[Charlamagne Tha God]

oh my God, the plane is still better than the Porter Potty. There is absolutely no reason to ever be dukey in a Porter potty. Life ain't never that serious.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

be having latest on things you ask,

[Lauren LaRosa]

the questions that need to be answered

[Charlamagne Tha God]

on the Breakfast Club.

[Target Commercial Voice]

Little brown girls look at you and

[Charlamagne Tha God]

go, I want to be like you LL Cool B. Talk to me.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So quick update here from Jay Z's weekend in New York. Yes, we are still talking about it. This may be one of the last things though because people have been trying to figure out whether or not Jay Z and team are going to be fined for him going over and performing until about like 2:30 in the morning Sunday night, which was the find the extra innings show that he did where they had to hold the doors. So I was told yesterday by a rep for Yankee Stadium that no agencies have reached out about fines and or penalties. So at this time the answer indefinitely is no, he has not been fined. And there's been some reporting around this. But people for some reason are still confused. I saw an article yesterday questioning whether that would happen. So we have the answer.

[DJ Envy]

I seen a report yesterday that they said he, of course he wasn't going to get fined because he did it for the safety of people. It wasn't because he was late for any other reason. He did it to make sure people

[Charlamagne Tha God]

were safe and he was there in the building like, and it was something out of his control. Like I don't see how you would get fined for that.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, well I, I looked up like kind of how that works with Yankee Stad with the event cut offs and stuff like that. And, and from what I saw via Google, it was talking about how the city doesn't have like a hard legal stop time but they do expect you to wrap up by a certain time. But there are exceptions that are made in extreme situations. So typically what they said is that sometimes they have a, they have, there's a time period they say the city doesn't have a hard legal stop time. Outdoor events at the stadium are genuinely expected to wrap up by or just before midnight out of courtesy to the surrounding neighborhood. But there are high profile exceptions. The city can and does make exceptions. And then they talk about the instance with Jay Z where it was delayed for several hours due to security and there are no curfews or noise fines as of right now. And I'm assuming that that expectation or that exception that they made was because of the safety of the other people like we talked about.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And I'll tell you what else man, I may be tired from the weekend but I still got a dopamine high from the weekend. Still like going like going Friday, gave me a dopamine high, went back to Saturday, got another, don't mean high Sunday the same thing. There is nothing like a real life connection.

[DJ Envy]

I'm still, I'm hyping about my Yankee fitted I got at the, at the arena, man, they said you got on

[Lauren LaRosa]

a jersey dress today. You still looking like you're at the concert.

[DJ Envy]

Jersey dress. I don't know about that but yeah, that's right. Your body can never fit in one. But go ahead.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I heard, I heard somebody say cuz I make them.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, I got one for you, Envy. Actually now that you just said that I'm a brand. Don't do me.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Don't do nothing back. And you flat back. What don't you can't say nothing about my back being flat.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Oh no, we know your back is very compounded, very big.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's right. Okay.

[Mimi Brown]

All right.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Now another thing.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Mad at me cuz you got a long back. What I got to do with that?

[Lauren LaRosa]

First of all, we not going to talk about Long and shapes in here because envy you and them arms ain't nothing but long and flimsy and you over here short.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It look like he got two roses on his side.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I'm moving on. I am moving on. So another thing here with the Jay Z concert. So during the week or that weekend that Jay Z announced the shows and had the shows, there's a. A Billboard article that I read where they were referencing Luminate, which is that data company that talks everything music. Now, in that conversation, they're talking about how some of the streams went up for the different albums. So they're talking about how for Jay Z's Reasonable Doubt, the streams jumped 94%. So over two, it's 2.075 million official streams over the first four days. So from July 10th through the 13th.

[Just Hilarious]

13th.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Just that album alone. And then, of course, you have a blueprint that jumped as well, too. Now, that's insane. But, I mean, it's expected to do, though. Yeah. Because people are getting ready. You're listening to it. If you're me, you're trying to make sure you. You knew some of the songs so that the UNCS wasn't coming for you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Not only that, it's a. It's a sense of discovery, Right. Like, think about how many parents took their kids to the concerts this weekend. Right? And these kids might have discovered Jay Z for the first time. So now they like, oh, shoot, let me go download this record. Listen to this album.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yes.

[DJ Envy]

I took. I took Madison. And Madison didn't really know Reasonable Doubt. She know Can't Knock the Hustle, but she didn't know anything else. She know his later music, so she downloaded it so she could listen. So she knew what she was rocking to when we were there.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yes. Yep. All right, now, as we move on to other news here in New York, the ESPYs went down yesterday. Did y' all know the SPs were on yesterday?

[DJ Envy]

Yes, we did.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Okay, so the ESPYs went down yesterday. It was hosted by Marcelo Hernandez. You guys know him. He's a comedian from snl. And he had, of course, did an opening monologue that some people are grabbing some jokes from. One of the jokes that he made was about nepotism in sports. Let's take a listen to that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

A lot of young players have also hit the scene this year. Bronnie James, LeBron James son, is in the NBA now. Shador Sanders, Deion Sanders son is in the NFL. And Jalen Brunson, Rick Brunson's son, got to Win an NBA championship with his dad as the coach. Which proves one thing, which is that nepotism, like most things, is way cooler when a black guy does it.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I don't know why people were grabbing that, talking about, this is racist. Like, I don't think that that was racist at all. I think it was.

[Just Hilarious]

He said the word black.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Y. I was like, okay, no, he's.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He's Dominican, so he's not black.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Okay.

[Just Hilarious]

Yeah, Dominican.

[State Farm Commercial Voice]

Oh, no.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Says black. It sounds crazy, right?

[Lauren LaRosa]

It hurts.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's the way he says it.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, I'm not Dominican. I am black.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You see how he said that? What black says?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Why you say.

[DJ Envy]

I say I'm black.

[Caller/Neil]

Yes.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm black.

[DJ Envy]

I say black.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I don't like how you said that. Yeah, I'm learning.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Dominican slur. I'm tired.

[DJ Envy]

I'm not Dominican. I'm black.

[Lauren LaRosa]

He also had a joke about the WNBA as well, too. In the monologue. Let's take a listen.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I also want to shout out the WNBA players for signing a new deal. And they're now making more money than ever before.

[Just Hilarious]

Yes.

[State Farm Commercial Voice]

Yes.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's a lot of new money in the wnba, man. Opening up the door for a new reality show, Basketball Husbands and Wives, but mostly wives.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, so that one's starting to circulate as well, too. But some of the awards last night, that went down. So we got Jalen Brunson for best championship performance with the Knicks, of course. Best athlete, Jalen Brunson with the Knicks. Best NBA player, Jalen Brunson.

[John Morgan]

Well deserved.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yes. Best team, the New York Knicks. And it was cool because that best team award happened at the end of the show. And Fat Joe kind of performed as they came out. Let's take a listen to the their acceptance speech for best team.

[Caller/Neil]

You may see someone is missing up here.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I want to say thank you to

[Caller/Neil]

the essays for pulling Josh Hart's invite. Thank you. Appreciate John, that's me. So much. We really appreciate that. Say thank you from all my teammates. And I hope this trophy, especially here in New York, getting this trophy shows the word love, the love of each other. And this team is what got us through the humps in December when we weren't playing our best basketball. The love of the fans is what got us back down 29 at home.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And as all Al also, I think

[Caller/Neil]

this award shows the love of New York because the love of New York made this whole journey and this whole accomplishment of winning a championship worth it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So thank you, New York. Thank you to the fans, thank you to the Organization for giving us this

[Caller/Neil]

chance and believing in us.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Shout out and always. Knicks in five. Nixon five.

[Lauren LaRosa]

[DJ Envy]

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He's the best nigga ever.

[John Morgan]

[DJ Envy]

[Lauren LaRosa]

Wow, that did not sound like that.

[Lauren LaRosa]

He said, yo, you didn't say.

We did not.

[Lauren LaRosa]

And y' all be telling me. I hear things.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Same thing.

[DJ Envy]

First of all, first of all, I'm not Dominican, so if I said if you heard what I said. I said what? I said he's the best New York Nick ever.

[Just Hilarious]

No, you said that. I said Nick. I said you said he the best ever. And don't get all crazy when other start texting me about him.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And I know what you was thinking. Big Body Brunson, he's the best ever.

[Just Hilarious]

And don't get mad when all the rest of the start texting your phone. Like you said, we the best.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So he's the best.

[Lauren LaRosa]

It's not the best either.

[Just Hilarious]

Ever.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Okay, well, as we wrap, I also.

[DJ Envy]

Come on, man.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Run it back. Run it back in a second.

[DJ Envy]

Oh, my goodness. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Front page is next.

[DJ Envy]

Morning everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Start off with sports. I'm not going to lie. I'm really getting into FIFA. I'm really getting into football. My son has me watching last yesterday, I was watching the game. Argentina beat England 2 to 1. Now England was up 10 the whole time pretty much until about 6, 5, 6 minutes left. And then Argentina came back and scored 2 goals. Amazing game. I'm really getting into it. So we'll see what happened at the World cup on the 19th. I've been trying to get tickets for like the last couple of weeks, but tickets, when I say expensive, 15,000 a ticket and that's like high.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

15,000.

[John Morgan]

Yes.

[DJ Envy]

So that's like hi, but nose, please. Yeah, when I looked a couple days ago, 15,000.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So who the hell going to These games then?

[DJ Envy]

I don't know.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't know. That would be the resale price.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, it's the resale price. Some tickets been sold out.

[Mimi Brown]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

What's up, Mimi?

[Mimi Brown]

Good morning, everyone. So we begin this hour with the latest on the investigation into the death of 19 year old Nolan. Well, so his family, they met with the Jackson county district attorney yesterday to discuss the next. Next steps in the case. Now, after the meeting, attorney Ben Crump shared what was discussed. Let's listen.

[State Farm Commercial Voice]

There will be a grand jury that she will turn this case over to once they have collected all the information

[Charlamagne Tha God]

and finished their investigation.

[State Farm Commercial Voice]

We also agreed that we will have a mutual inspection of the cell phone with our experts and their experts so

[Charlamagne Tha God]

everybody will be able to see at

[Caller/Neil]

the same time what the cell phone has.

[Mimi Brown]

Yes. So authorities have repeatedly said that they do not suspect foul play, but Nolan's family, they believe there are still too many unanswered questions to come to that conclusion. So both the official autopsy and an independent autopsy are still pending. And at Wednesday's news conference, Nolan's mother also announced the funeral will be held on Monday, saying she wants it to be a celebration of her son's life. Let's listen.

[Target Commercial Voice]

The homegoing celebration.

[Just Hilarious]

The funeral will be held at Center

[Target Commercial Voice]

Point Church in Ocean Springs.

[Lauren LaRosa]

It is going to be.

[Target Commercial Voice]

Visitation will be 9 to 11, and

[Just Hilarious]

then the funeral will start after that.

[Lauren LaRosa]

The plan is for the repast because

[Just Hilarious]

again, we want to celebrate Nolan and he would not

[Caller/Amy]

want us to be

[Lauren LaRosa]

sitting around crying and eating.

[Just Hilarious]

And

[Target Commercial Voice]

so what we're gonna do is

[Lauren LaRosa]

kind of have a party to celebrate

[Just Hilarious]

him, and that'll be held at the Jackson county fairgrounds.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I mean, not only does that family have to grieve, to have to grieve and not know exactly what happened to their son has to be like the worst feeling ever. Know.

[Mimi Brown]

Absolutely. Yeah. Both investigators and the family attorneys, they are asking anyone who was on Horn island that day, or maybe you have photos or videos to come forward as the investigation continues.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And what's crazy, you know, you know what's going to be very telling, too? The friends that don't attend the funeral. The friends that don't attend the funeral. It's going to be very telling. But then again, there might be friends that attended the funeral who might have had something to do with it.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah. That were friends. Absolutely.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We've seen Juice before. Bishop damn sure showed up. The Raheem funeral.

[Just Hilarious]

Jeez.

[John Morgan]

Yeah.

[Mimi Brown]

I'm sure as this continues, a lot more will come out. And, you know, all Things will be revealed. And, you know, presidential pardons have been in the headlines a lot lately, especially after rapper Bootsy said he paid $600,000 for people who promised, promised that they could help him get one. But that story may not be as far fetched as it sounds. So according to a recent Reuters investigation, many people seeking pardons have been steered away from the Justice Department's traditional review process, and instead they're going toward lobbyists, political operatives, and others who have close ties to President Trump. So Reuters found that some people were asked to pay as much as $2 million for helping to get a pardon. So that's $600,000 in. This is sounding a little cheap right now. It also found that two people who were ultimately granted clemency, they paid a combined amount of $2.7 million to a registered lobbyist who worked on their case.

[Just Hilarious]

So they basically boosie paying the down payment.

[Mimi Brown]

Pretty much.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Man, we've been telling y' all that all week. The street's been saying that the street's been saying that they've charged for pardons, and it starts at 2 million. We told y' all that we first heard the story.

[Just Hilarious]

He basically got.

[Mimi Brown]

Yeah. The investigation also uncovered that nearly half of President Trump's, or not even half, nearly all of President Trump's clemency receipts or recipients this term, they bypass a traditional Justice Department long standing review process. So those, those findings are now fueling a congressional investigation with Democrats looking into the system and whether it's become a play or pay to play process. The White House, of course, is denying any wrongdoing, but, yeah, that just seems to be the way people are getting those pardons right now. So as many people say, well, that's not the way to do it. Apparently it is the way to do it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Clearly we're experiencing it with Canada right now. Right. Where there's smoke, there's fire. Okay, so there's smoke in New York City because there's fire in Canada. We've been hearing about this since Trump got back into office that you could pay for a pardon. And it starts at $2 million. We were having this conversation when Trump and when they were talking about Diddy getting the pardon, like a couple other people, like, we may or may know some people that have paid for pardons. Like, come on, man. Yeah, Like, I'm not saying that. I can't confirm that it's true or not, but that story has definitely been in the wind. Streets have definitely been talking.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So this investigation, this roadies report doesn't Surprise me at all.

[Mimi Brown]

Yeah, for sure. And lastly, switching gears really quickly, can you tell what someone is like just by hearing their first name? Because according to a survey, nearly one in five Americans admit that they judge people based on their first name before they ever meet them. So Karen, of course, is topping the list of people who are most likely to have a negative reaction when you hear their name. But that's followed by Chad, Donald, John, and Damien. The survey also found that Americans, many Americans, don't even like their own name. 42% say they don't feel like their first name really feels fits them. And one in five said that they would change it if they could.

[Just Hilarious]

Yo, what's so funny about that, right? I was just in Raleigh over the weekend for shows, and I had a meet and greet, and it was this. This interracial couple, right? And it was the black guy and the white lady. And I asked her name, and she was like, my name is Karen. And she was like, well, this was before all the. All the negative. All the negative stuff around the Karens. Like, I feel like they like the good whites named Karen. Gotta always give a disclaimer. Like, they're not like the Karens that we see online. I think that's so funny. And I think a lot of them would change their name if they could.

[Mimi Brown]

Yeah, well, it said a lot of people in general don't like their name and they would change it. One in five people don't like their name. They would change it if they could.

[Just Hilarious]

So I'm very much. I look just like a Jessica. Act like a Jessica. Always going to be a Jessica. What about you, Mimi?

[Mimi Brown]

But you also know that Jessica is the new Karen, right? Didn't we talk about this story?

[Just Hilarious]

Oh, wow.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I believe that.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We all saw you put your scarf on and go live. That's actually worse than a camera.

[Just Hilarious]

I mean, yeah, please, please. Whatever. No, that's a Moesha. That's not even. That's. That's not occurring. Whatever. Now, Mimi, what is your name?

[Mimi Brown]

My name is Tamisha.

[Caller/Neil]

Oh, my God.

[Just Hilarious]

You want. You don't give Tamisha.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She give Tamisha to me.

[Just Hilarious]

No, she don't. She give like a Yolanda.

[DJ Envy]

Charlemagne. Charlemagne. Don't give a Leonard.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm Leonard. That's why he definitely don't give.

[Just Hilarious]

Easy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

My name is Leonard.

[Just Hilarious]

Hard like a clown is Darius.

[DJ Envy]

Darius. And I'm Rashawn. R, A, A capital S, H, A,

[Just Hilarious]

U, N. You look like a Calvin.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, no, he definitely should have been a Stacy.

[DJ Envy]

Thank you, Mimi.

[John Morgan]

No, he'll Give Cheryl.

[Just Hilarious]

He ain't dark enough to be sure.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, he ain't dark enough.

[Just Hilarious]

I don't know no red.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

[DJ Envy]

Thank you, Mimi.

[Mimi Brown]

That is your fan page news, and I will see you tomorrow.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He give us Stacy.

[DJ Envy]

I don't do dance.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Stacy could be a man or woman. He give us Stacy. He give us Stacy.

[DJ Envy]

No way.

[Just Hilarious]

Yo, Mimi, do not give Tamisha.

[Mimi Brown]

Wait, who said I do?

[Just Hilarious]

Who's that? Charlemagne.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, you give it Tamisha.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You definitely a Tamisha.

[Mimi Brown]

What does Tamisha. What does that even.

[Caller/Amy]

What?

[John Morgan]

I don't even know.

[Just Hilarious]

No, I wouldn't say Tamisha for you all.

[DJ Envy]

We gotta go, we gotta go, we gotta go.

[Just Hilarious]

All right.

[Mimi Brown]

We gotta go, we gotta go.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Okay, we come back.

[DJ Envy]

John Morgan will be joining us, you know, from Morgan and Morgan for the people. You hear. I'm sure. I'm sure you hear their commercials everywhere. You see their commercials everywhere. We're going to talk to them next, so don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. Come on. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Lola Rose is here with us as well. We got a special guest in the building. I'm sure you've seen his commercial. You heard his name before. I'm sure you even seen his picture. Ladies and gentlemen, we have attorney John Morgan. How's it going? How you feeling?

[John Morgan]

I'm feeling good.

[DJ Envy]

The way that you put your ads out is kind of like a Beyonce or Taylor Swift. When they released an album, I mean, you see it all over the place. You see it everywhere. Commercials for all Star, super bowl, everything.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So Morgan and Morgan is for the people.

[DJ Envy]

Morgan and Morgan is for the people. So let's start off from the beginning. How a young paper boy delivering papers got to this multi billion dollar, I would say, empire that you have accumulated. So how did you start off and what made you want to be an attorney?

[John Morgan]

I wanted to be an attorney when I was a sophomore in college. Got a call from my dad. My brother Tim was a lifeguard at Walt Disney World. And he calls me, he says, tim's been in an accident. He's paralyzed from the chin down. And there began that journey. And Disney was very tough. We were poor, hopeless, helpless, powerless. It's a terrible place to be. And a lot of bad things happened to my brother during that time. And I became enraged. And I said to myself, you know, first of all, I'm terrible in math and terrible in science. So I wasn't going to be a doctor or cpa. And so I went into law. And this is all I've ever done. I decided I wanted to do this type of law to make sure that people like my brother Tim got a fair shake. And so I went to law school and graduated from the University of Florida. I only applied at personal injury law firms. And here we are, you know, many years later.

[DJ Envy]

But there's a. There's a lot of injury attorneys out there, but none of them are as successful as you. What got you to that level? Because there's a lot of attorney injury turnovers. Sometimes they be, you know, they call ambulance chasers and all these different names, but nobody has got to the point that you've got what. What made people trust you and sign up with your firm over all these other firms that are out there?

[John Morgan]

I'm not exactly sure, except I spent a lot of time working. I mean, I lived in union halls, I drank and dive bars with the union leaders, and I kind of built it brick by brick. When I got into this business a few years before, you weren't even allowed to advertise as a lawyer. There was a case called Bates vs. Arizona, the Supreme Court, that lawyers could even advertise. So it was verboten. You didn't advertise if you were a lawyer. But I was just into the business at that point in time. And I told my wife, I said, look, and I was getting a lot of cases from these guys on tv. I said, this train is leaving the station. And what a lot of people got to look at is sometimes trains do leave the station. If you don't get on the train, you're going to get run over by the train. And I said, I got to do this. And so I went. I borrowed $100,000 from bank. People asked me why 100. The other bank said 50. One guy said 100. I took the money. And so fast forward what I did and what I would tell people entrepreneurs is if you're going to scale a business, especially when you're young, you have to scale. You had to take your profits and pour it it back into building the business. So I did Orlando, then I did Tampa, and then I did Jacksonville, and then I did Fort Myers, Naples, and then I did Miami. And instead of buying a boat or a car, I expanded. And people ask, you know, I didn't make a million dollars until I was 41 years old. That's the first year I made a million dollars. But then I kept growing it. And then at some point in time, all those cities start to take root and sprout and so from that hundred thousand dollars this year, we'll spend almost 600 million in advertising, and we'll do $2.4 billion in revenue. And the real secret to our success, which a lot of of lawyers don't do, we try a lot of cases, we make our money in the courtroom. A lot of people make money taking the last best offer. No, we grab them by the back of the neck and drag them.

[DJ Envy]

I think I say grab by the

[John Morgan]

balls, but I don't know if we can say balls. You can. Okay.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't know if you might be in some files or something, you know. You know, Morgan and Morgan and slogan is for the people. Right. But you've also built one of the most powerful corporations in America. How do you keep those two missions from conflicting?

[John Morgan]

You have to keep your eye on the ball, and it's all about people. You know, I've been what I've been impressed with coming here today, you got an empire, but you got a lot of people making that empire click.

[Caller/Neil]

That's right.

[John Morgan]

And when I look at my life and I look at my business, I could give you the names of a bunch of people that if they hadn't been there with me, I might not be here. And sometimes you hear these quarterbacks and, you know, they're thanking their offensive line. They need to thank their offensive line, because if you don't have an offensive line that I saw that you have here today, you can't be who you are. And so I've been very lucky in spotting talent and developing talent. Here's how I look at people. If I send somebody something over and over again to the point that I know if I send it, I don't have to worry about it. I call it send delete. So I send you something, I don't have to worry about it anymore. I delete it. Once I find that send delete person, I then elevate them, and then I ruthlessly, ruthlessly delegate their task. And then we. And then you got a payo. You know, I tell people.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So you pay your people fair, big time.

[John Morgan]

Listen, I believe in Florida. I believe what's ailing America is the. Oh, people can't live on what they're making.

[State Farm Commercial Voice]

That's right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No livable wage.

[John Morgan]

There's no livable wage. So what I did in Florida, and it was also a good experiment, I spent tens of millions of dollars of my own money to pass a constitutional amendment to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour. It was $8 an hour. When I did this thing. And I'm like, you know, let's just see what happens. Everybody told me, he said, john, you're romantic. You know, this isn't going to happen. Nobody in Florida, you got to get 60% of the vote to pass a constitutional amendment. Guess what? We passed it with 63% of the vote. And then here's what I learned by that, that most of us, when you take a D down and the R down from the, from behind our political affiliation, that most of us agree on most things, if you take the D and the R down. And I did the same thing. I did the same thing. My brother Tim, the guy who got hurt, he needed marijuana to, to take care of his pain, take care of his spasms. And so I did the same thing with. And I legalized medical marijuana in the state of Florida. And so, so what I say about paying people is this, if you want to build a great circus, the greatest show on earth, people go to the circus to see the guy eaten by the lions and the guy fall off the high wire.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Circus you'd be going to where people getting eaten by lions.

[John Morgan]

Well, we're hoping that they are. We're hoping they. That's why people go to nascar. They want to see the, they want to see the crash, they want to see the disaster. Then they're sad after they see it. But the way you don't get eaten by the lions and the tiger is you pay them and you love them. You feed them and you love them. And the way you don't fall off of the wire, the high wire is you focus. So my business philosophy is focus, feed them, love them, and then the lions and tigers will give you the greatest show on earth.

[DJ Envy]

I feel like, like people's answer to everything now is a lawsuit, right? You get into a car accident, you know, usually you get into a car accident, be a minor offender, bender, you know, you ensure, you know, you, you swap insurances, you fix it, you keep it moving. But now it's, it's, it's big business is now I get into an accident. Now I'm gonna do this. Now I slip and fall. I'm gonna do this now. And how do you see who's really hurt, who's really not? Who is it? It's really in pain and really needs the work and really needs the hospital bills, really needs the money to take care of their family. And who was doing it? Because.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Great question.

[DJ Envy]

It's the best.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What's the best place to slip and

[John Morgan]

fall, you stupid Madison Square Garden? Because I Hate that guy. But.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So how do you.

[John Morgan]

If you want to. If you want to sue him, go to sumsg.com. you'll be talking to me.

[Caller/Neil]

Wow.

[DJ Envy]

Really? Why do you hate him so much?

[John Morgan]

Because he's got these cameras in there. When lawyers that sue him go in there, they got this facial recognition, and if you're part of that facial, they throw you out.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So if you walk in there right now, they kicking you out.

[John Morgan]

Yeah, that Rockettes everything. I can't go.

[DJ Envy]

So they've thrown you out before.

[John Morgan]

They throw me out.

[DJ Envy]

They threw you out before.

[John Morgan]

I didn't go.

[DJ Envy]

Oh, you figured it out.

[John Morgan]

But lawyers in my firm. Listen, I've got 1200 lawyers. Lawyers in my firm have gone to the Rockettes, kicked out with their family because this James Dolan don't want to clean up his dirty places. So that's okay. But guess what? I got another lawsuit coming against him because that facial recognition that he was doing has also taken a lot of people's privacy. And I filed a class action against him a couple of weeks ago. Because you walked in. You walked in, you walked in, and that facial recognition got you and then took your information and got hacked. And there's been this gigantic data breach. And listen, one thing that we want is our privacy. Privacy's a hot button issue in America.

[DJ Envy]

How did your beef start with him? Was it a first lawsuit and then it just got nasty?

[John Morgan]

No, he just started saying if you sued any of his entities, he's got this facial recognition when you go in and you're out. And so, look, I've never been a James Dolan fan. I got pissed off when he kicked Charles Oakley out of the.

[Just Hilarious]

The.

[John Morgan]

Out of the Garden. Like, this guy made the Knicks, and he hadn't done. The only thing James Dalton was done was born. He was born with a silver spoon stuck up his ass and took a fortune and basically destroyed the fortune. And so it's kind of was personal to me that my lawyers are getting kicked out. So I decided, look, if nobody wants to sue it, Madison Square Garden, I will. So that's why I got the website, sue msg.com now, the name of your

[DJ Envy]

book is Life is Luck. Nothing luck about what you've done. You worked pretty hard. You've grinded. I don't know if there's much luck with that. You put in the work.

[John Morgan]

Well, I'll tell you this, but you're

[Charlamagne Tha God]

also born white in America, too, though.

[Mimi Brown]

So that's.

[John Morgan]

Listen, first of all, first chapter, the odds of being born is like trillions to one just being born. Before we talk about being born white, let's talk about just being born in America.

[Target Commercial Voice]

True.

[John Morgan]

You know, what if I was born in North Korea, how am I doing? How does, how does white North Korea look to you? Okay, so. So there's that and then there's white and then there's, sorry, miss being a man. Male. I just, you know, just.

[DJ Envy]

You don't know what she identifies as. You just don't know.

[John Morgan]

Then there's male and then there's good looking. Good looking people do better than other people, you know, and then there's all the other stuff. Look, height. Most presidents are tall, so.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, I'm not the president, sir. That makes no sense.

[Just Hilarious]

I'm like.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Before you sat down, you wasn't that tall.

[John Morgan]

No, I'm. Listen, I'm built like. But I'm out, you know, Barack Obama, you know, you look up, Bill Clinton, you look up, they look down at me. So all those different things that happen, successful people hate to be told they were lucky. And the reason they hate to be told they're lucky is they worked their effing ass.

[DJ Envy]

Of course.

[John Morgan]

But guess what else? Guess who makes the least amount of money in America? The people who work the effing hardest. Have you ever tried to dig a hole with a shovel?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Actually, I have. I'm from Mount's Corner, South Carolina. So I was getting a lot of trouble and my daddy told me to dig a hole because this either gonna be the well of your grave.

[John Morgan]

Yeah, digging a hole and try to dig a cold hole, try to dig it with some frost on the grass. The people who work the hardest in America are the people who make the least. Luck does have a lot to do with it. If I looked at your career like I've looked at mine, that's what I did here when I went on that bill, when I got on that billionaire list. I say, how did this happen? Well, first of all, the reason I talk about the paper boy. I don't know if any of y' all are old enough to be paper boys, but a paper route's a hard deal. And I think that I was born with an entrepreneurial seed. There's a paper route for a 10, 11 year old boy. You're up every day. Snow, sleets. So I think I had that entrepreneurial seed early, which was a lucky deal for me. But if you look at your career, and I'm not sure about it really, I was researching it. I'll bet you there was a moment that some. There was Some break. There was something you. There was something that you did. Tell me what it was.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, man. It's been a few of them, but I think probably the biggest one was when I. When does you ever heard of Wendy Williams?

[John Morgan]

Oh yeah, my. Listen, I don't know why last night we were at Mr. Chow. My daughter, maybe, maybe she knew about this because my daughter goes, I'm a Wendy Williams fanatic.

[Caller/Neil]

Oh, wow.

[John Morgan]

My daughter Kate, she's like, I love. I'm like, Wendy Williams, what do you.

[Lauren LaRosa]

He used to sit on her lap. So that's probably why that's how she.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So tell 2006. I was in South Carolina and she basically was hearing what I was doing in South Carolina. Just to make a long story story very, very, very, very short without any new ones. Heard what I was doing in South Carolina, met her and her then husband and they brought me up to New York to be her co host. But that's God, that's luck. Like that's just.

[John Morgan]

That's like. And I tell you, listen, luck. Luck can have other words. Blessings. Yeah, God. Yeah, God. But. But when we become so arrogant that we think it's all us and not chance. I was telling one of your producers, I say when I first applied for a job at these hundred applications, my dad calls me and says one of the applications slid down behind the back of my car seat. He said, I said, how did you. He said, I pulled the seat out, I was vacuuming it. My dad vacuum in the back of the car. Was like, that ain't ever happening. But he did. I said, who was, who was the letter to? He goes, a guy named Jared Billings. He goes, should I send it out? I go, yeah. Was what I have to lose. We already paid for the stamp. Guess where I got the job? Jerry Billings. Jerry Billings. And there's. So I decided to go to. I decided. I'm Catholic. I decided to go to daily mass one day. I'm not a daily mass guy. I just went to clear my head. Not really to pray. 20 minutes I go in there, I'm in the communion line. I look ahead of me, I see this girl, these little terry claw shorts and little, you know, like, damn, this is a good, good in church.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I mean, it's

[John Morgan]

lusty, lusty. She turns around, I'm like, that's good too. I go out, I get her number, I take her out on a date, I marry her.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Wow.

[John Morgan]

If I don't go to church that day, I don't have him sitting over there. I don't have the other three, I don't have. My three other. Some of my grandchildren are back at the Lowell Hotel right now. I don't have my four children. I don't have. Everything has changed that one day. And so I think what we got to do to make sure that we stay humble, because I think staying humble makes us better. And I think we stay humble and realize a lot of people work a lot harder than us. If you remain humble, then what you focus on in your life, it's the last prayers of mine before I go to sleep.

[Caller/Amy]

Right.

[John Morgan]

Gratitude.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Something about you seems very fair. You know what I mean? Like, there's a couple things that I like. I love that you, you know, you on the myth of being self made, right? And you say things like, the money belongs to God, like you said. You talk about the responsibility that comes with extreme wealth. So you've done things like build food banks and you fund homeless and hunger relief and you give back because like you said, you believe that luck created the fortune and giving back is the duty for those who have been and lucky or as I like to say, blessed.

[John Morgan]

Well, here's how I look at it. I ask myself all the time, you know, how do I believe in God? Question number one.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Absolutely.

[John Morgan]

But on a scale of one to ten, am I a ten or am I one? I would say I'm like a seven or an eight.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's God's number.

[John Morgan]

But I'd like to be ten. If you go to church, say, who all believes in God? Everybody say, yeah, yeah, but is it a 7, 8, a 10, 10? I'm probably a 7 or 8. But I'm always praying for more faith. But what I believe more than anything, I don't really see God up in the sky. I see God around this table. And what I believe is the best way for us to love God is to love people. Because when you're loving people, you're loving God. And when I build those food banks and the new thing I'm doing for women and children at the coalition, and we just built a, a food bank in West Virginia, and on and on and on. To me, that is what is pleasing to God. Because God lives in us. And the reason I know that is because that's what he said. And so how can you have this kind of money and drive by and see people hungry, people hungry? How can you drive by and see people making $8 an hour at the grocery store and then getting in their car and driving to the Morgan and Morgan Hunger Relief Center? It's not fair. It's not fair. And what's going on in America right now is. And why you're seeing all these progressives rise up to your point. It's not fair what's happening. And it's not because of anything other than the rich are getting richer by design and the poor are getting poorer by design and the poor saying, you know what? It's not fair. It's not fair that these new tax cuts can have a guy like you get a jet for free. When I bought my jet after Trump got elected, of course I didn't support him. Yeah. I'm. The first time I got in politics was Bill Clinton back. I mean, that was my guy. And then I was financed for Obama, had Obama at my house as president, so. But it's not fair. But the Trump tax cuts, my new jet was basically free with the tax cuts. That's not fair. And I believe that what's happening in America is this progressive ups is about fundamental fairness. Not that it's not fair to them, but what's happening to the rich is really unfair.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And so you like the progressive movement?

[John Morgan]

Not really.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Okay.

[John Morgan]

Not really. Because I believe that socialism always turns into something like Venezuela or Cuba. I believe that what we have a duty to do is to do the most for the most with the least.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So like that's like a compassionate capitalism.

[John Morgan]

Yeah. And, and you know, like, let's, let's start with fair pay. Let's start with fair pay. Let's start with things like, you know, medical for everybody. I mean, why should somebody. I've got a, I've got a clinic that I fund in a poor section of Polk county in Florida that we're filled every single day with people coming to the Morgan Morgan Clinic for medical care. That's, that's their whole deal. There's a lot of those people out there and we could do over and over again. And so I believe what's going to happen in America is I believe the progressive movement is going to get bigger and bigger and bigger.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Is that why you got your, the party that you're trying to put together, the Common Ground party?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I did it.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah. So politics is where you about to go next.

[John Morgan]

And it sounds like common ground. I had a contest to have it. I think we need a third party because you can't compromise. I had a friend in Florida, he did a constitutional amendment to restore felons rights. Listen, man, if you do your time, you should be able to vote.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Absolutely.

[John Morgan]

In this country. And guess what, my friend, he did it in Florida. And Guess what? They passed that constitutional because most people agree on most things when you take the D and the R down. So what I believe is all this gerrymandering. I mean, look, you got, you know, look at South Carolina, where you're from. I mean, I mean, it's. It's just locked and loaded. Red, red, red, red, red. But there's no compromise. So what I'm thinking about this party, Common Ground is a party in the middle. Yeah, we like some of this stuff on the left. Yeah, we like some of this stuff on the right. Let us be the tiebreaker. Let us be. Because look, here's moderates again.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

There's no true moderates anymore.

[John Morgan]

There's no true moderates.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, Bill Clinton was a true moderate. 2.

[John Morgan]

Yes. And listen, listen, believe it or not, so was Barack Obama.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, Obama was a true.

[John Morgan]

Listen, you know, you. You take his eight years. I mean, that's some of the greatest eight years in the history of this capitalistic country. Obama's a capitalist, believe me. I mean, this is a Netflix guy. Obama's Netflix. He's okay. He's okay with capitalism. And believe me, you know, and so, so my idea is this. In most elections, 4 or 5% of the vote is what determines elections. That's when Mitt Romney said 47%. Remember that? 47%. 47%. That's 6% he's talking about. So I'm thinking about common ground. We could do a lot if we were just in the middle to break the tie here, break the tie here and find common ground.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And also I feel like you should call it Common sense ground.

[John Morgan]

Listen, you know what, it's funny you say that, because I put in, I become a chat GPT addict. Speaking of hallucinations. Sorry, bring that back up. But when I put in common sense, there was a lot of negative stuff about common sense. It was interesting to do that. When you get time tonight, just put in which. Which names better, Common Sense or Common Ground? And they kept giving me all the reasons, so I just went with common. But common sense, because when you say

[Charlamagne Tha God]

fair pay, when you say free medical care, you want criminal justice reform, you want. You clearly want working in labor rights.

[Just Hilarious]

Right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Things like that. That's just. That's. Why wouldn't we want that?

[John Morgan]

Listen, when we try cases, you know the words we use most. Use your common sense. When you go back to this, you know, use your common sense, and that's part of the jury instructions, is common sense. So to your point. But when it got down to nut cutting time common ground, common sense. My slogan is for the people and so a lot of people say, what about the People's Party? But then my lawyer who drafted all the documents said that the China's got the People's Party and it could be construed to be, you know, China. So we didn't go that way.

[Caller/Neil]

Wow.

[DJ Envy]

Well, life is luck is out right now and we appreciate you for joining us.

This past weekend, like every other Sunday, you were on the court with the guys playing ball. Just a quick pickup game, living out your hoop dreams. No triple doubles, but mean set of threes in between buckets. One of the homies mentioned he closed on a new crib. This is big. And while everyone's asking about housewarming and making plans to celebrate rate, you're asking the real questions. Like has he spoken to his State Farm agent yet about coverage?

[DJ Envy]

It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to the latest with Lauren.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Lauren laros because you particularly are bringing the energy to mainstream radio. To black radio. Yes, Sources Trust.

[John Morgan]

Did you hear that?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Exclusive Lauren?

[Lauren LaRosa]

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

[Charlamagne Tha God]

be having the latest on things you

[Lauren LaRosa]

ask, the questions that need to be

[Charlamagne Tha God]

answered on a Breakfast Club.

[Target Commercial Voice]

Little brown girls look at you and

[Charlamagne Tha God]

go, I want to be like you, LL Cool B.

[Mimi Brown]

Talk.

[John Morgan]

Talk to me.

[Lauren LaRosa]

All right, so LeBron James is going to the Warriors, y'.

[Just Hilarious]

All.

[DJ Envy]

Where you get that from?

[Lauren LaRosa]

All right, so here's what's going down right now. Not. That is not confirmed, but there's a video that is circulating right now of Steve Kerr, who's coach, and there are fans that roll up on him, and he possibly answers this question, or he's trolling. Let's take a listen.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Hey, when you get LeBron, man. Oh, we got him. Okay, that's good. Put that on Twitter.

[Just Hilarious]

Okay,

[Lauren LaRosa]

so, yeah, it sounds like a troll. Yes. But the video is picking up, of course, because that has been a conversation around LeBron since he announced that he wasn't going back to the Lakers, of where he would go, you know, the warriors being in big conversations. Steph Curry has been very vocal about wanting LeBron to come on over. Let's take a listen to Steph Curry when he was on Good Morning America.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

While we've got you here, let's talk

[John Morgan]

a little bit about LeBron.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

There's no doubt that you guys have something special together.

[John Morgan]

And you went on a podcast and

[Just Hilarious]

you kind of, like, made a pitch

[DJ Envy]

maybe to sway his direction.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What's the pitch? Well, the bay. We know how to win. It's beautiful weather, great golf. I don't know. He's into that. But like you said, we've the USA experience that we had, the battles that

[DJ Envy]

we had over the years.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We just know how to.

[DJ Envy]

How to play basketball.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And I think that he would enjoy, you know, just the idea of what it means to finish your career the right way. He knows you know what he wants,

[DJ Envy]

and eventually he'll make that decision.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's totally up to him, but we're

[DJ Envy]

having fun with it, knowing that he's got his pick of the entire league, like, wherever he wants to go.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

LeBron and Rich Paul, could y' all just cut it out and go back to Cleveland? Okay, Cleveland is where that's in the conversation. Needs to end his career. It's the only thing that would make sense for his legacy. Put a button on it.

[Lauren LaRosa]

People think the Sixers got a chance, too.

[DJ Envy]

Years ago, I thought I could. I swear I heard Curry saying that him and LeBron could never play with each other. I thought they did an interview. He was like, no, we can never. We'll never be on the same Team.

[Just Hilarious]

I thought, why is that, though?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I never heard that one.

[DJ Envy]

I really thought. But look it up. It was something. After maybe one of these Olympic teams, he was like, nah, that could never happen. It won't happen.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Put a button on Cleveland, man. Cleveland is the place that LeBron James needs to do his farewell, farewell tour.

[Just Hilarious]

So y' all wouldn't be happy if he was to get on Golden State, if he was to go there?

[DJ Envy]

I think he is gonna go to Golden State.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I think he's gonna go. I don't think that would be a good look for LeBron at all. Not in any way, shape or form. And if LeBron James goes to Golden State, then, you know, to me, Steph Curry is absolutely, positively the best player of the generation. And it's not even close.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, I think he's gonna go to Golden State. I. I like. He lives in la. You know what I mean? To uproot his family and go back to Cleveland for how long? How many more years?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He's playing in the family. Family.

[DJ Envy]

Why not? Why wouldn't he?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, you don't have to uproot his whole family. He's only one kid left in the house now. Wife can stay on the West Coast. He could be in Cleveland. He can go back and forth. He got money.

[DJ Envy]

He's such a family man. I think he can stay on the west coast with his. With his. Because the Bay Area is, what, an hour flight away.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, but you got to think about legacy. You got to think about how you want the plane to land. He should want the plane to land in Cleveland. Land where it started.

[Just Hilarious]

Why don't you think that,

[Lauren LaRosa]

you know, he want to go out a certain way there. There's speculation there's a documentary deal on the table for this final seat for. Well, if. For this season, if it is the final.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I mean, he's been shooting the doc for, like, four years.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, well, look, he knows what he's thinking.

[Just Hilarious]

It's too easy for him. Do you think that'll be too easy for him to just go to Golden State?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What do you mean, too easy?

[Just Hilarious]

Like what? Why don't you see it being. I mean, you know, why would you want it to be Cleveland? Why does it matter whether it's.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Cleveland is where he started. He's won a championship for Cleveland. He's one chance. Cleveland's only championship. He's from Akron, Ohio. It just makes sense to. To where you began. And, you know, to me, I think it would be just too much scrutiny if he went to Golden State and He's got a. He's got a record to where he's won a championship for every team. He go to Golden State. He's not winning the championship.

[DJ Envy]

I think he's going to Golden State. I just think it makes more sense. I don't think he wants to come back to Cleveland.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So I know that people are having a conversation with, like, him and Steph Curry playing together. And then, you know, that's what I meant by people think that that could be, like a. Like a super team.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And he's got. No, not now.

[Just Hilarious]

Right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

10 years ago. 10 years ago, but not right now.

[DJ Envy]

He scores average. He still averages 20i out.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And he's got a better chance. He's got a better chance of going to the Eastern Conference finals with Cleveland than he does going to the Western Conference.

[DJ Envy]

That is a fact. But I. I think. I think he's going to go to the Warriors.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Donovan Mitchell. I saw Donovan Mitchell the other night, too, at the. The concert.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Oh, with Coco, Period.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He was with Coco?

[Mimi Brown]

Yeah.

[Just Hilarious]

Oh, I was just.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I saw them, too. They were cute, Period. All right, y', all, that's the latest for the hour. In the next hour, we are going to get into some music things because future's album, the Real Me Me, it's charting like crazy, and we're gonna break all the. All of the things down, all the numbers that he's projected to see down.

[DJ Envy]

And it's so sad about that album because nobody's. I didn't even know it came out.

[Lauren LaRosa]

We're gonna have a conversation. The projection is that he is going. Yes. And he's already number one on the Apple music chart. So we're going to talk about it.

[DJ Envy]

So if he was selling over 100, he would have did 250, 300, if they would have really promoted that album. But we'll talk about it next hour. Charlamagne Duncan today. Who you give me your donkey, too.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Chuck Schumer farted.

[Caller/Neil]

What?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Let's discuss what.

[DJ Envy]

All right. And also just fix my mess. If you need relationship advice or any type of advice, you can ask her right now. 800-585-1051 is the Breakfast Club. Good morning. It's time for Donkey of the Day.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

There's a bunch of donkeys out here in the street. I made Donkey of the Day called Donkey of the Day. It really caught me off guard. We live a life where we bite our tongue based off who we may offend. We never would say anything.

[Caller/Neil]

Give it to him.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Give it to him. You are a donkey.

[Just Hilarious]

That is why Charlemagne is here.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Some donkey today's just saw themselves on the Breakfast Club.

[DJ Envy]

Okay, Charlemagne, who you giving donkey of

[Charlamagne Tha God]

the day to today? Well, donkey today for Thursday, July 16 goes to Senator Chuck Schumer. Now, for the last several years, it seems like the conversation around age limits for elected officials has gotten louder and louder and louder, okay? From Ruth Bader Ginsburg to Joe Biden to now current President Trump, how old is too old? Has been the question of the day. And it's not ageism, people, okay? Folks just want to know that you can maintain the mental and physical fitness to govern. Okay, listen, we all know governing is a very stressful, high energy job, all right? As a voter, a citizen of these here United States of America, we have concerns. We don't trust that senior citizens have what it takes to properly govern, okay? We have concerns about the physical and mental toll that role of an elected official takes on the elderly. Okay? So one of the reasons I think it should be a maximum age limit is because it will restore Public Trust. And 75 year old Chuck Schumer, who I've been saying should step aside, just allegedly did something that is not going to restore trust in old politicians anytime soon. See, Chuck Schumer was airing out his grievances over Trump's Iran war. War. And then out of the blue, something happened that was out of his control. Chuck Schumann decided to air out the Senate floor with a fart. Yes. Ask ass. Get my. Get my farts ready, Red. Give me some farts. There you go. Okay, Ass, gas, booty, tooty and biscuits. Let's go to Will Kane country podcast before the report, please.

[John Morgan]

This is going to be Chuck Schumer reportedly farting on the floor of the Senate.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We need a complete investigation. That's independent. Now on Iran and the ndaa. When all the Trump administration.

[DJ Envy]

Bro, wait, that's real.

[John Morgan]

We play it again. I want the first two things that

[Charlamagne Tha God]

give it credibility for me.

[John Morgan]

That's a genuine sound in. In a lot of ways, including the volume of it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It wasn't too loud.

[Just Hilarious]

He's standing microphone.

[Caller/Amy]

I know.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's why I'm always.

[John Morgan]

And his pause helps. It was the pause.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We need a complete investigation. That's independent. Now on Iran and the ndaa, when

[DJ Envy]

all the Trump administration.

[John Morgan]

He does smirk, he goes. When the Trump administration, he does a little laughing there.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

God damn, Chuck. All right, that sounded like the rulers back was about to start playing. All right, I encourage y' all to go watch the video because not only the Chuck Schumer smile Out. Okay? When that butt trumpet started to play, he lifted up off his feet like this, okay? He lifted up off his feet like he was trying to peek over a gate, okay? And, yes, I know older people fart without knowing it, all right? Why does this happen? Because the muscles that control the boonki can weaken with h. All right? When them muscles not as tight, they might open to release gas without the elderly feeling it happen. And let. That, ladies and gentlemen, is why Chuck Schumer is getting donkey today. Okay, look, listen, I'm a person who doesn't fart in his clothes, so I'm judging that as well.

[Just Hilarious]

Liar.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But Chuck Schumer. Well, first of all, I'm not lying because I'm still at the age where I can control farting in my clothes, okay? Chuck Schumer clearly cannot. And that's why we are gathered here today because America has no choice but to treat Congress like a retirement community. Because Congress is by far the world's most expensive assisted living facility. The average age of the same Senate, I think, is about 65. Some of the oldest members are in their 80s and 90s. Chuck Grassley of Iowa is 92. Imagine what he does in his pants and doesn't even know. All right? Bernie Sanders is 83. Mitch McConnell, we don't even know if he's alive. All right? Lindsey Graham just died. This isn't about a fart. It's about one system where people stay in office so long that every viral moment like this, this turns into another debate about whether it's time for them to pass the torch. Okay? The age thing is such a distraction. Imagine giving a speech about the Iran war, and the only thing people are talking about is the bomb that dropped out of your bunky, okay? A barking couch frog jumped out of your bunky, and that is the headline of your speech. Okay? Listen, the moral of the story is this. We need younger leaders in office, all right? They create better generational balance, all right? Older lawmakers hold seats for decades, and as you can see, they fought in them. And that smell makes it hard for new voices to enter the system. Okay? Younger elected officials will inspire other young people to vote and join the political process. We don't need Chuck Schumer, okay? Dropping nukes on the Senate floor. And yes, that was a nuke because there was just a little fallout, all right? It's just another moment that reminds we the people, that our political leadership is not only full of, but has been around so long that social media is debating whether that was a Senate speech or A commercial for Medicare. Please give Senator Chuck Schumer the sweet sounds of the Hamiltones.

[DJ Envy]

Oh, now you are the donkey of the day.

[John Morgan]

You are the donkey do.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Poor guy, man. Poor guy. Just another example of why we need new leadership.

[Just Hilarious]

Cuz he fought it.

[John Morgan]

Come on, yo.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes. Cuz he's 75 years old and he fought it on the Senate floor. That's why I wonder if it was a shark's age.

[DJ Envy]

I wonder if it was a shark.

[Just Hilarious]

But what I'm saying.

[DJ Envy]

Why?

[Just Hilarious]

Why do we care why? Why we care that bad that this fought it?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Because it's just more proof that he's too old to be serving because older people fart and don't know it.

[DJ Envy]

People far.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But he knew it.

[Caller/Neil]

That's why.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's why people. That's why people have been having this discussion about our elected officials being too old. This is just another example of him being too old.

[Just Hilarious]

I'm just saying y' all act like he fell asleep at the mic. He got a little.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That happens too. Have you been paying attention to our elected officials lately? Absolutely not exactly falling asleep. That's why they used to call Sleepy Joe Sleepy Joe falling asleep too. Yes. We don't even know if Mitch McConnell is alive.

[Just Hilarious]

Okay. That's Mitch McConnell.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

This farted Lindsey Graham just died over the weekend.

[Just Hilarious]

Okay. He rest in peace like that. He went to glory like he did

[DJ Envy]

what he was supposed to do.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

This Chuck Schumer farting is just another example of our elected officials being too old.

[Just Hilarious]

Yo. I. I just farting on the Senate

[Charlamagne Tha God]

floor in the middle of a speech.

[Just Hilarious]

You're not supposed to.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yo.

[Just Hilarious]

What he post the whole day.

[John Morgan]

Yo.

[DJ Envy]

He could held it for a minute

[Charlamagne Tha God]

or two before on the middle of the city floor in. In the middle of a speech.

[DJ Envy]

But it seemed like he pushed it out, though. That wasn't like a yes.

[Just Hilarious]

He couldn't wait for that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like I'm tell he did like this. Go watch the video. He got up on his. He got up on his feet like he was looking over a fence.

[DJ Envy]

He pushed that one out.

[Just Hilarious]

All right.

[DJ Envy]

Well, thank you for that donkey today. Up next, just fix my mess. 800-585-1051. Just as a guy on the line, he wants to know how to pursue a married woman.

And so you're saying you want more? He already has four, plus your one, so. So that's five, Right. And he doesn't want any more. You want more?

[Caller/Amy]

I do. And. And ultimately I want to be with him. That's my child's father. But I don't want to sacrifice because I know if the truth was on the other foot and he wanted more kids, he would go have them.

[Just Hilarious]

Okay, well, was this talked about before you guys got serious or after? Like, did you. You been knew that he didn't really want more kids because he already got four?

[Caller/Amy]

Well, he knew when he got with me I had none.

[Just Hilarious]

Yeah, but you also knew when you got with him that he didn't want anymore.

[Caller/Amy]

No, no, no, no, no, no, no. It's not that you want them. It's just I gave you one, so it's like, dang, you want some more? Yeah. Don't you got f.

[State Farm Commercial Voice]

Yeah.

[Just Hilarious]

He ain't trying to have eight. That's the thing. Like, he ain't trying to have six, seven. You know, and so that's what it is. I'm not saying that you're wrong. Your feelings are very valid. Like, you know what I mean? You want more than one kid. You want a. A pool of your own biological kids want to give birth. However, he does not. So y' all gotta find a compromise. Y' all gotta meet each other in the middle. I feel like he already kind of met you in the middle, giving you one. You want one more or. You sound like you want way more than just one more.

[Caller/Amy]

Well, I'll take. I'll take one more. But the fact that I helped you raise your kids when I didn't need to have. Like, you made me a mom before I was a mom myself.

[Just Hilarious]

Yeah, but that's something that you took on willingly, Boo, because he came as a package.

[Caller/Amy]

One more.

[Just Hilarious]

Yeah. Yeah. Have y' all talked about it?

[Caller/Amy]

We have.

[Just Hilarious]

What is he saying?

[Caller/Amy]

He's in between. He wants to travel the world. He wants to do stuff he's never done before, and with a newborn baby, he can't do that.

[Just Hilarious]

Yeah. And he's had about four of them things. Well, five of them things, you know, so he. He. How old are y'?

[Mimi Brown]

All?

[Just Hilarious]

How old is he? Let me ask.

[Caller/Amy]

Okay, so he hit 1043. I just turned 34.

[Just Hilarious]

Okay. Okay.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Just Hilarious]

And we were just having this conversation yesterday. Older men really ain't jocking. Having to run after little kids after a certain. After a Certain age, he gonna be on the other side of. Of life going into the second half of his life in about four years. And. And ain't trying to be chasing after no kids at that age. You know, he was. Wants to. You told me what he wants to do, so obviously he wants to live his life. What is happening?

[Lauren LaRosa]

You.

[Just Hilarious]

You driving with the window now?

[Caller/Amy]

No, no, no, no, no.

[Just Hilarious]

Okay, hold on.

[Caller/Amy]

Does it sound better?

[Just Hilarious]

Yes, that sounds better. Yes, yes, yes, yes.

[Caller/Amy]

Okay, so tell me this then. We've been together since 2018. That's about eight years. Do I hold on or do I move on? He's a great. And then in the eyes are not against him. He. He's an awesome dad. He's awesome father. Like, I choose him every day. Okay, well, let me. So my thing is to just take it.

[Just Hilarious]

Well, let me ask you this then. Is that your deal breaker to stay with him? Because I can't tell you to stay. I can't tell you to leave. But you know in your heart what you are willing to take, what you are willing to stay for and what you're not willing to stay for. You want another child. Is that a deal breaker for you if he does not get give you one?

[Caller/Amy]

It is.

[Just Hilarious]

Okay, well, you got to do what's best for you. And are y' all married?

[Caller/Amy]

That's the other thing.

[Just Hilarious]

Okay, so you're not getting a ring. You feel like you ain't locking it down. So you know what I'm saying? You're not giving me what I want twice over. I want a baby. And you're not even making me a wife. You're not even solidifying this covenant right here, this commitment. So listen, do what's best for you. And. And if he wants to pursue a life with you, he will give you what you want. But. But his. His feelings matter too. So sometimes people just gotta make moves according to praying about it.

[Caller/Amy]

That's why I wanted. I needed you to fix my message.

[Just Hilarious]

Yes, ma'.

[Caller/Neil]

Am.

[Just Hilarious]

Yes, ma'. Am. You know what you want to do, you know what you want. If it ain't what he want, you gotta sometimes move on to get what you want, cuz you got to put you first.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah.

[Caller/Neil]

All right.

[DJ Envy]

Good luck, mama.

[Caller/Amy]

Well, thank you. I appreciate that. You guys have a blessed day.

[Just Hilarious]

You too.

[DJ Envy]

Now, now, just. We got a lot of people on the line. We got Brandon. He wants to be an author. He has felonies from 20 years ago. His past crime is starting to pop back up.

[Just Hilarious]

Me too. Okay.

[DJ Envy]

Also, Ellen, she said she called last Week and she wants to give you an update about some advice you gave her.

[Just Hilarious]

I love updates. Let me get them.

[DJ Envy]

And Mike says he just wants you to fix the clock behind your head. He said it said the same time.

[Just Hilarious]

Yo, shut up.

[DJ Envy]

All right, let's go to Ellen. Hello, who's this?

[Caller/Amy]

Hi, my name is Ellen.

[DJ Envy]

Hey, Ellen, talk to Jess.

[Just Hilarious]

Hi, Ellen. What's going on? What's the update?

[Caller/Amy]

Jess, I called you. I called you last week.

[Just Hilarious]

Okay, what's going on?

[Caller/Amy]

I wanted to update you, break down

[DJ Envy]

what happened because people are just tuning in and I don't remember. So what happened last week?

[Just Hilarious]

Right, right, I remember. But you got to tell everybody listening. So what happened last week?

[Caller/Amy]

I called about my boyfriend who has a child with somebody. They didn't know each other, it was a one night situation and they just had been having trouble communicating. Yeah. And I was calling to ask where my place was and all that. Like, is it right for me to tell you to try to have a relationship with her or.

[Just Hilarious]

Because you've been the mediator. You've been the mediator.

[Caller/Amy]

Right, right, right.

[Just Hilarious]

So what happened?

[Caller/Amy]

So the same day, I didn't even tell him that I had called or anything. And he told me that he called her and they had like a long conversation, actually, when he was on his way to go drop off his daughter back to her, and they had a long conversation about like wanting to get to know each other, that they're family, that they should start treating each other like family, that they want to be on the same page with everything and basically just kind of has out. And I was so proud of him and I didn't even tell him about anything that I talked to you about. And yeah, I think things are going. Things have been going really well since then and they kind of put aside, obviously, and I'm just really proud of him.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Well, see, while you was over here

[Just Hilarious]

working and manifesting on his behalf, he was over over there doing it. He took steps and took the initiative to call his baby mama and say, look, I know we don't know each other. I know it was the one night stand and my girlfriend has been trying to help us mediate. But listen, we got a kid and I gotta get to know you. So I know if some signs show up in my child that don't reflect.

[Caller/Amy]

And that's exactly what he said. He was like, I wanna know if she does stuff, if that's you or that's me, how we can fix it. Like, yeah, I was really proud of both of them, for real.

[Just Hilarious]

And I'm really, really happy that you hung in there, that you hanging in there. And now look. You see what you were. Your vision is coming to fruition. This is great. This is what you wanted. Yeah.

[Caller/Amy]

Thank you. Yes. I wanted to tell you that you fixed my mess.

[Just Hilarious]

Thank you.

[Caller/Amy]

I was listening to it back and I wanted to just shout him out really quick. He's a great dad. He's been like, he gets her every other weekend since he found out about her. He does not. He's not a bad dad. I was listening to it back and I feel like I didn't really like make that clear. He her every other weekend. Like, he's very active. She's always been active in her life. He just didn't have a good relationship with her.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I just wanted to.

[Just Hilarious]

No. Well, from where I was sitting, listening to, you know, your testimony in the story. No, absolutely not. You never painted him out to be a bad dad. You did say that he was a good dad. He just didn't get along with the mother. And that's where you were finishing college.

[Caller/Amy]

He just graduated from the Ohio State University.

[Just Hilarious]

Well, congratulations, boyfriend.

[Caller/Amy]

Baby daddy all wins over here. Thank you, Jess.

[DJ Envy]

We all the Breakfast Club. Now let's get to the latest with Laura.

[Just Hilarious]

Lauren becoming a straight face.

[DJ Envy]

She gets them from somebody that knows somebody.

[Lauren LaRosa]

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

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She be having the latest on the Latest with Lauren LaRosa. Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details. Sometimes she have a little bit everything.

[Caller/Neil]

Oh.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's the latest brought to you by Top dog. Top dog Low.

[Lauren LaRosa]

All right, y', all.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He was in here struggling when John Morgan was in here. You thought you had beef. You didn't know whether to beef with him or wow, what to do. Jesus.

[Caller/Amy]

Not.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Not.

[Just Hilarious]

Injury.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Injury. Law. Beef. All right, y', all, let's get into the latest. So, Future, we were just talking a bit about Tim's and how well her song I'm not what you need is doing. But future's album the real me is also doing very, very well. Right now, the album is number one on the US Apple music top album charts across all genres. And that happened in less than 40. I'm sorry, less than 24 hours after its release. Now, the. The track effort interview serves as the number one song in the country. And the album currently holds multiple top spots across Apple Music. That number one country is on Apple music music. Now listen, he's projected to sell 135, 000 units for the first week, which would put him at a number one debut on a Billboard 200 for the album.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So that'll be 12 number ones for Future. There's only two other rappers with more number one than him. That's Drake and Jay Z.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yes. And that puts. Yeah, congratulations. Uh, that puts him in a tie. Kanye west and Eminem are current. Well, he will surpass them because they're currently tied with him. Uh, all of them hold 11 number one album albums on the Billboard 200 chart. Now, a conversation we were having earlier was about the rollout and the promo around the album right now, Future did a few things. He was on Twitter a little bit. He dropped this. It's like a conversation. He's sitting around with a bunch of his folks talking about love. Let's take a listen.

[Caller/Neil]

I love true love. I don't want fake love. True love is like having another life. It's like having another hit record. How many people can get that? Everybody wants true love, but how many people get a chance to experience? Are you my true love? Beautiful person can make my heart beat.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You do want to be married?

[Caller/Neil]

Hell, yeah. Do I want to be married to the wrong person? No. Do I want to be faithful to the wrong girl?

[Caller/Amy]

No.

[Caller/Neil]

But every man that married the right woman, they progress. When you marry, for sure, you lose.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

If she see me out with a

[Caller/Neil]

girl holding her hand, she, like, still love you. I love you. When you holding another hand, it ain't right. That's just unconditional love. I'm still who I am. Like, no matter what, you love me on her about who I am. Whether I got temptations or not. Being in the back of the line is gonna come with Future. It come with a lot of girls too. I'm at a point in my life, I'm being real. You suffer because you can't even show the people who you really are. That's why I'm making this album a real me. Because I want people to know this is the real me. In love or not in love or however it is, this is real.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't know about everything he was saying, but that one part, when he said, you know, when you find the right woman, you absolutely progress. That is true.

[Just Hilarious]

Absolutely.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

With.

[Just Hilarious]

He lost me a little bit with. With some of the other stuff. But, yeah, I agree.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah. That was one of the things that he dropped as, like, the build up of the album. Then he dropped the title, like, the track list of things. But there wasn't a lot of promotion around the album. But 135k first week is amazing.

[DJ Envy]

That's great.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Liz was just going through it because of what her album did or did not do.

[DJ Envy]

She did what, 10 or 14,000, something like that?

[Lauren LaRosa]

She did five. She did. She sold 2,649 pure copies. And then when you factor in the streaming equivalents, the album moved a total of 5000 album equivalent. UN according to Wikipedia.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It shows you it's no real formula. Right. Either people care or they don't. Because Lizzo was a person who did all of the outlets.

[DJ Envy]

She had extreme history.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I was proud of her she was moving around, she was talking to everybody.

[Just Hilarious]

And she got the crossover power as well. Well, hey, you. I don't, I can't.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What I'm talking about is promo and marketing. She did all of the rounds.

[State Farm Commercial Voice]

Right, right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And sold 5,000 records. Meanwhile, Future focused on his base without that content piece, did some stuff on social media and did 135,000. So either people care, they don't.

[DJ Envy]

He focused on his call. But I wonder. I think Future signed the Epic I. Because all the labels have been letting people go recently in the last. Especially in the urban department. I wonder if, if they had people in the urban department pushing his record if he would have did more. Because I didn't even know about Future record. I just happened to see it. I'm like, damn, Future Drive.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I was excited because he. It's been a while since he dropped the album. But also if you follow Future on Twitter, he does a lot of like interactive stuff. Like he did the thing where you can ask him a question. He like would tweet random stuff and it'll go super viral because you know, he's a. He doesn't really speak all the time. And in that, that love conversation every.

[Just Hilarious]

Everybody not on Twitter. Yeah, I'm not on Twitter.

[DJ Envy]

But he came out on whole weekend too, right? He came out the Friday that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Right?

[Just Hilarious]

He did.

[DJ Envy]

He came out last Friday.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

July 10th.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah.

[Just Hilarious]

Yep. That's dope.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I haven't fully got through all the. The records yet. I got through like the first five effort interview was like the first one on there. So yeah, shout out to Future. I did reach out. I want him to come back up here and talk about the album.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That man selling 135, 000 records. He's gonna have another number one. That's 12 number one. Doing something right.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, he's supposed to.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah. Well, switching gears a bit. Still music news though, Nicki Minaj. So you guys remember we talked about Nicki Minaj and there was the production company that was trying to sue Nicki Minaj saying that like she owed them all this money for that pre Pink Friday situation. So she's hitting back at them and she's basically saying that this is just a cash grab because. And y' all kind of pointed this out too when we talked about, about this. She's saying that like there's no way that I am the person y' all are targeting in this. This is a company and I'm basically like an employee of the company at this point. But there's also another story that is out right now. There's a law firm that's claiming that Nicki Minaj owes them about like230,000. And I haven't seen her hit back at that yet either. But just a small update there.

[DJ Envy]

I hate talking about Nicki Minaj less's music.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, I can understand you.

[DJ Envy]

I mean, the last time she dropped the album was what, 20, 23 or something like that?

[Just Hilarious]

That was the. Yeah, that was the last album she went on. Was that what, the pink print or something?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Well, she told us new music Friday,

[DJ Envy]

I think it was.

[Lauren LaRosa]

She told us new music was coming, but we. It didn't happen. So, you know.

[Just Hilarious]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Lauren LaRosa]

She did say.

[Just Hilarious]

Remember she was hyping up album that was supposed to come out March, and then she was like, no, it's not gonna come out.

[DJ Envy]

So.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah.

[Just Hilarious]

Okay, well, maybe she's not feeling musically inspired right now.

[DJ Envy]

Maybe.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Well, maybe not.

[Caller/Amy]

Yeah.

[Lauren LaRosa]

But when the new music comes, we'll talk about that as well, too. We talk about all things, so.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Lauren LaRosa]

And speaking of music, I want to congratulate E40 and Big Sean. They got their first diamond certification. It's the first for both of them in their careers with I don't F with you posted yesterday about it. So sending a congratulations to them as well. It's a lot of music celebration.

[DJ Envy]

That is a classic record.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I was surprised that this was like. I mean, I know it's a lot of diamond, but it's not easy to get Diamonds lot. I was just surprised that it was the first for.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Diamond is a lot, period. In any genre, whether it's screaming or not genre, but any type of sales, whether it's screaming or physical copies, diamond is a lot.

[DJ Envy]

Diamond is a whole lot. There's not too many artists that. That reach that you can say, Chris Brown, I know 50 has done it. I know Nelly has done it. Snoop has done it. It's not too many artists that's done it.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah. Well, congratulations to the guys.

[Just Hilarious]

Congratulations.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yes. And that is the. Can I do one more? I got time.

[Just Hilarious]

Yes.

[Lauren LaRosa]

All right, so come, we'll talk about this more. All right. 50 cents.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Do it or don't.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I'm gonna do it. I didn't want to rush it, but we're gonna do it. So 50 Cent, he put up this post the other day that has people trying to figure out is he pulling out of doing business in Shreveport or not. So he put up a post, it was a photo of. Of Shreveport, and he says that he is done with the Red river. Right and that he's pulling out. Now, the mayor of Shreveport sat down for a local interview and talked a bit about what could have ticked 50 cent off. Do we have the audio?

[DJ Envy]

No.

[Just Hilarious]

Okay.

[Lauren LaRosa]

It might not be ready yet. I kind of rushed it on them. But in the interview, basically, the mayor says that he doesn't know what ticked 50 Cent off, that he hasn't talked to 50 Cent, and that 50 Cent has, like, public deals out in the open that are. That are there. He can't just pull out. And that the City believes that 50 is going to do what he said that he came in to do. But the journalists push back, and they say, well, what got him upset? Has he had issues specifically around that area, around the Red river area area? And the. He says that there has been some naysayers, some people pushing back against him. So I don't know if 50 Cent is posting all of this to trying to, you know, show people what happens if he does decide to pull out. Kind of like what he did with Stars. But it's unfortunate because what he's doing there seems to be like he's invested

[DJ Envy]

a lot in court. He's been down there. He's. He's already have multi properties down there, multi businesses down there. So I don't know what he. What. You know, what. What happened, but I know there's a bunch of naysayers, people out there that don't think that he is going to do what he's saying. Saying, but he's already starting to do it. So I don't. I don't understand why they wouldn't believe.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I mean, I think you won't get yay and nay either way. You go and get something like this. But I think he's doing the work.

[DJ Envy]

He's. He's down there a lot.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah. His post on Instagram that he put up has already started to pick up across, like, outlets or whatever. So I think maybe he's just trying to show somebody, like, I'm not the person that you want to play around with.

[DJ Envy]

It brings a lot of money to that city.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah.

[Just Hilarious]

But.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, so we'll see what happens with that. But the mayor is saying that as of right now, they're good. So we'll see what happens. And that's the latest for the hours brought to you by Top Dog Law. Any accident, big or small, call Top Dog Law.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You have all that energy. When Morgan. And Morgan was in here last hour, though, what happened?

[Just Hilarious]

He was skiing.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I want to start Rap beef so bad.

You know, last year I put out Illuminati in comic book stores and it was a five series run. But on Tuesday we put out the whole graphic novel. So you can go pick up the Illuminati graphic novel. It's a comic book that I put out out that tells the story of Lily, an aspiring musician who went to LA to bury her sister Jackie. And Jackie was a rising pop star who died from a drug overdose. But Jackie was caught up with the Illuminati and that's who Lily ends up getting involved with, uncovering the Illuminati and all this dark secret. So this book may or may not be based on a true story, but go pick it up. It's available everywhere. You buy books right now.

All right. Now, Charlotte, man, you got a positive note.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I do, man. The positive note is simply this. The past is your lesson. The present is your gift. The future, that's your motivation, though. Have a great day. Breakfast Club. Wake you up.

[DJ Envy]

Wake that ass up.
