[Charlamagne Tha God]

I like it.

[Angela Yee]

Morning, everybody. Goddamn music. You hear me?

[DJ Envy]

She sure does. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. What's up, Mimi?

[Mimi Brown]

Good morning, M.V. jess. Charlamagne.

[DJ Envy]

A lot going on this weekend.

[Mimi Brown]

A lot going on this morning. So we're going to start this morning with our top story. The United States is at war. So over the weekend, US Forces, they carried out coordinated strikes with Israel, targeting Iran's military leadership and weapons system. Iran's supreme leader and more than 40 senior officials were killed. Iran retaliated. And the Pentagon confirms three American service members have been killed in an Iranian strike in Kuwait. Five others were wounded. Late last night, President Trump, he addressed the nation, calling the fallen true American patriots. Let's listen.

[DJ Envy]

As one nation, we grieve for the true American patriots who have made the

[Angela Yee]

ultimate sacrifice for our nation, even as we continue the righteous mission for which they gave their lives, we pray for the full recovery of the wounded and send our immense love and eternal gratitude

[DJ Envy]

to the families of the fallen. And sadly, there will likely be more.

[Mimi Brown]

Well, yeah.

[Angela Yee]

Who wants to hear that?

[Mimi Brown]

Yeah, nobody. Especially if you have a family in the military. The US says hundreds of Iranian targets have now been hit, including sites tied to Iran's elite military units, missile systems and naval assets. And there are reports this morning of heavy civilian casualties inside Iran. I don't know if you guys have heard about this, but a school, a young girls school. Right now, according to Iran, the number is 100 of children who were killed when a missile struck that school school. And meanwhile, Iran continues to strike back. Missiles and drones have targeted US bases at least nine countries in the Middle East. Saudi Arabia, Batar, Bahrain. Am I saying that right?

[Angela Yee]

You asking this room?

[Mimi Brown]

I'm asking this room.

[Angela Yee]

Don't ask this room.

[Mimi Brown]

I think it's Bahrain.

[DJ Envy]

I DJ there twice on a military base, but I think it's about Ron.

[Mimi Brown]

Okay. In the uae, which includes Dubai, most of those nations have American forces or American bases. Airports in large part have shut down. Americans are being urged to shelter in place in US embassies. They remain on high alert.

[Angela Yee]

This morning watching Dubai get hit was crazy because it's just like, you know, many times I've been in that airport, you know what I mean? People go to Dubai, you know, for tourist reasons and have a good time and you just, you just end up caught in the middle of a war.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, I've been, I've been to Dubai and like I said, I've been in Bahrain and it's, it's just so sad because there's tourists there. Like I've seen people on, I think the South Carolina team that was stuck in there, that they saw Don Staley post that, Donald Staley, you know, saying a bunch of players are stuck there. People that are just, just there, just trying to get back home, just stuck. And it's just very sad. But, you know, my question to you is I've seen, you know, I just followed us on Instagram, social media. I've seen a bunch of Iranians seem like they are happy. Are they happy about this? Is this a good thing? Bad thing? I don't know.

[Angela Yee]

I think it's a mixed bag.

[Mimi Brown]

As I was going to say, you have it on both sides, right? You have the ones that are happy and you have the ones that, that you know, have been in the streets protesting. They killed their supreme leader. So it's just kind of like what would happen here in the United States. You have some people who will be upset and you have some people who be happy. You know what I mean?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What does this mean like for us now though? What do we, the people, what do we do? Because you know, I know they hit like a school over there and all of that, you know what I mean? So like what do we have to expect at our main hubs like New York, Louisiana?

[Mimi Brown]

Well, I'm glad that you asked that question because that literally takes me to my next story. The president though says this operation is called Operation Epic Fury. It will last four to five weeks.

[Angela Yee]

I think it's going to be called Operation Epic fail. Okay? Nobody in America wants to see hundreds of billions of dollars spent on war when they're struggling to make ends meet here, man. Not to mention you have, you know, you have to watch all these kids in other countries being killed. We putting our, our own troops in danger. And you told us you were the anti war president, you know, you told campaign doc. That's right. You told people there would be no new wars in the Middle east under you and people feel you're only doing this because you're Israel's bitch. Like that's not going, this going to be an operation Epic fail.

[DJ Envy]

But you know, and then they say they, they were looking for weapons of mass destruction. They've been saying this for like the last 12 years. Are there weapons of mass destruction? Is that the real reason?

[Angela Yee]

Do we know they got rid of all the nuclear weapons, their capabilities last.

[Mimi Brown]

That's what they said last time. Yeah, they did say that and now we're searching for them again, so. And just hours after that U. S strike on Iran, the reported killing of its supreme leader, violence erupted here at home. Jess. So in Austin, Texas, a gunman opened fire outside a bar in the early morning hours of Sunday morning. Now police say two people were killed and 14 others were wounded. Three of the injured, they remain in critical condition this morning. Law enforcement sources say the Suspect was a 53 year old naturalized US citizen originally from Senegal. Witnesses say he drove past the bar several times before stopping and firing his SUV into a crowded patio. He got out with a rifle and began shooting people along the street. Now I'm told that this is a very crowded like bar scene. College town, kids are out, you know, just having fun on a weekend night. Officers responded within minutes and shot and killed the man. But authorities say he was wearing Clothing with religious references, including an Iranian flag designed with an Iranian flag design and the words Property of Allah. So the FBI is investigating. Let's listen quickly to what they said.

[Angela Yee]

There were indicators that on the subject and in his vehicle that indicate potential nexus to terrorism. So to answer your question, just these are the type of things you have to worry about.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Very scary.

[Mimi Brown]

Yes. Yeah. So authorities also executed a search warrant at his home and found an Iranian flag, photos of Iranian leaders. Law enforcement say they also discovered a Quran in his vehicle as well.

[DJ Envy]

And I did have two other questions. One, wasn't Donald Trump supposed to get approval for war?

[Mimi Brown]

I'm glad that you said that, too.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah. Congress was supposed to approve it, correct?

[Mimi Brown]

They are supposed to approve it. And so Capitol Hill lawmakers are really upset about that. It's triggering a political fight right now in Washington. Democrats joined by a handful of Republicans, they're demanding a vote on his war powers. Because you're right, the president is supposed to get congressional approval before he does anything like this, especially taking military action against Iran. And so that has not happened yet. I'm told that they are gearing up for that vote hopefully sometime today. If not today, sometime within the next couple of days. But Republican leadership, they are urging members to oppose the measure and stand behind the president.

[DJ Envy]

It's crazy. Crazy, crazy, crazy, man.

[Mimi Brown]

Crazy crazy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So you said, like, basically they found out when we found out like what was going on. Damn.

[Angela Yee]

Wow.

[Mimi Brown]

But I did hear that Marco Rubio, he did call seven out of the eight lawmakers who he was supposed to inform. He was able to reach seven out of the eight before this happened.

[Angela Yee]

Say, turn your TV on.

[Mimi Brown]

Yeah, turn the TV on.

[Angela Yee]

Turn the TV on.

[DJ Envy]

Turn the TV on.

[Mimi Brown]

Probably. But still, nevertheless, he's supposed to get permission before anything like this goes down. So we'll continue to watch. And coming up at seven, thousands of companies, they are battling to recover that money paid by tariffs. So does that mean cash for you? We'll talk about it. One company is some is promising to put something in your pocket.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So that's right.

[DJ Envy]

And if you do have family in Dubai, I think they released a statement this morning that said Abu Dhabi and Dubai's government has said that if you're stuck there because of what's going on, they will take care of the hotel stay.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, okay.

[DJ Envy]

So just if you have family over there, just follow into that. I don't know how true that or how accurate it is, but that's what they're saying. So if you do have family over there, hopefully they Are taking, you know, care of that part of it. All right, Mimi. Mimi's here, by the way, too, guys. So Mimi will be joining us next hour. Everybody else, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up right now. Talk about your weekend. Talk about what's going on in the world. Doesn't matter. Call us up right now. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, Ray.

She ain't go. I got faith in my girl.

[Angela Yee]

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You went home and got some kids, right?

[Lauren LaRosa]

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, she drove down from Columbia to

On TV and said, yo, we obliterated there uranium nuclear facilities to the point to where, you know, they can't produce anything, Right? Yep. You know, and now we're back at it with these guys. You know, what's crazy is Obama put together a nice deal, you know, with Iran. This man came in and obliterated and. And now he wants to do a new deal. A new deal for what? And you go right into this war, which is crazy, you know, but the thing about war is what's the outcome? Who's benefiting from it? You know, I watched the Ticket yesterday on cnn and it was just talking about how the oil price is going to go through the roof. Yep. Our gas is about to go through the roof. Yep. You know, so somebody's benefiting from war from either side. It doesn't matter, you know, and I want to give my condolences to the soldiers that fell, that should not have fallen. And this guy is talking so recklessly about, well, you know, there might gonna be some more, some so happily, you know, and it's just sad, man. You know, I just feel for the state of affairs for this country and I just pray for this country, man. For real. Yeah. He talks like. He talks about human life like it's just livestock. Yeah, and that is true, too. That's just like, you know, I don't understand what the plan is because he's saying we're gonna take the leadership out and then the people. I'm encouraging the people to take over.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, People.

[Angela Yee]

[DJ Envy]

Get it up, brother.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah, man. I'm just kind of the hypocrisy, bro. Like, Charlemagne just said that. What was that same energy when Biden was about when they were selling hundreds of millions of billions of dollars to Israel? I didn't like that. No. I talked against. But. But you didn't voice it. Yes, I did. Are you crazy? You're out of your mind. I don't like. I don't like seeing every morning. No, you don't. LL Cool B. No, you don't. Okay. Where was the same energy when. When ICE was doing the same thing when Biden and Kamala was in power? Because they've been doing this. Yes. They've been doing this since the Bush era. I'm against all of it, brother. I don't know what you talking about. Any. Any other questions? No. Have a good one. Talking about.

[DJ Envy]

Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. What's up, Lauren?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What?

[Angela Yee]

Wonder Woman. So bad.

[DJ Envy]

All right, we got the latest coming up. What we talking about?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yes, we do. We're going to bring the energy up. It's all this craziness happening in the world this weekend. I feel like we got to celebrate the NAACP Image Awards. And then we saw all the big wins at the SAG or Actors Awards. Like, there's just so much black joy we going to get into and some craziness in the barbs and.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, all right, we're gonna go there. We'll get into that next. So don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club.

[Angela Yee]

Good morning.

[Lauren LaRosa]

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

[Charlamagne Tha God]

go, I want to be like you. Take me through that. Take me through that.

[Angela Yee]

The latest with Laurence on the Breakfast Club. LL Cool Bay. Talk to me, LL Cool Bay. Lauren LaRosa plugging in her headphones like she hasn't been doing this for the last few years.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Well, we had to get happening. Yes. Okay, so first I want to say I have my girl Mimi Brown here with me.

[Angela Yee]

Hello.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Who's in studio today? And y' all know she does our front page news, but Mimi went to the NAACP Image Awards. Okay. There was a lot that was happening on the stage that was bleeped out. And I'm hitting her like, wait, like what's happening? Because they bleep it out when we watch it, but she gets to see it, so we're gonna.

[Angela Yee]

I bet you bothered her throughout the whole award.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I bothered her more yesterday more than anything because. Okay, so let's get into the Image Awards. So Dion co hosted again. We know that because it came up here and talked about it. He was so great. So his opening monologue, he did a prayer within that opening monologue, which has been receiving some criticisms. Let's take a listen to Dion Cole and his prayer.

[Angela Yee]

Lord, I want you to bless our sister Tiana Taylor, Lord. Keep us single and away from six three green eyed men with muscles, Lord. Give the average man a chance with her, Lord. Hell, give the average woman a chance with her as well.

[DJ Envy]

Lord, I want you to bless our brother.

[Angela Yee]

50 cents, Lord.

[DJ Envy]

Damn it.

[Angela Yee]

You know what, Lord? Bless him with some more petty ideas, Lord. That'll help us at work, Lord.

[DJ Envy]

Definitely.

[Angela Yee]

Lord, we want you to bless our sister Nicki Minaj, Lord.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes.

[Angela Yee]

I believe whatever's in her ass is affecting her brain, Lord. We bind that spirit in our ass, Lord. Before we go, Lord, if there are

[DJ Envy]

any white men out here in the

[Angela Yee]

audience, Lord, with Tourette's, I advise you to tell them they better read the room tonight, Lord.

[DJ Envy]

Hilarious.

[Angela Yee]

What's wrong with a little prayer?

[Lauren LaRosa]

So, I mean, okay, I didn't think that there was anything wrong with the prayer, but people. There are some people, including the barbs, who think that Dion took it too far with the Nicki Minaj joke.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He would.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Dion literally had to post some of the messages he was receiving after the joke. People telling him to go dick up his mom. Talking about people's moms being fat and sloppy. Like, just.

[Angela Yee]

I guess because we in the hip hop space, we're used to the Barb's attacks.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, no, I was like, that mean, he did great if they're that upset.

[DJ Envy]

So normal. That's so normal for the barbs.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What did he bleep out when he said about 50? Like, what was that?

[Mimi Brown]

Okay, the 50 part isn't even the part that got the audience going.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Right.

[Mimi Brown]

It was the Nicki part. So you should have seen the people in the audience. They were literally, like, awkwardly smiling. Like, is it okay to laugh? Like, head in their hands, shoulders going, Chloe Bailey, sister.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What?

[Mimi Brown]

Haley.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Hallelujah. Oh, my God. I don't know what to do, but

[Lauren LaRosa]

I don't know why you expect him to go there. And I think he did it.

[Mimi Brown]

Yeah, he did a great job.

[Lauren LaRosa]

And then we got into the awards of the night. Sinners sweeped the awards. They won 13 awards in total.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Amazing.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Outstanding Motion Picture entertainer of the Year. Michael B. Jordan. Outstanding breakthrough Performance. Miles Canton. Like the. I mean, the list goes on and on and on and on. But Delroy Lindo actually took some time on stage before he began a presentation to address what happened at the BAFTA Awards. Let's take a listen.

[Angela Yee]

Thank you. Thank you. Before we start, I'd just like to officially say that we appreciate. I appreciate. We appreciate all the support and the love that we have been shown in the aftermath of what happened last weekend. It means a lot to us. It is a honor to be here amongst our people this evening. Amongst.

[DJ Envy]

So what up, everybody? It's DJ Emmy from the Breakfast Club. Now, you know me and my wife, married 24 years and together over 30. And yes, we still speak on the phone every day. I mean, the early days, I didn't have a cell phone. I couldn't afford a cell phone. And the cell phones were like the size of a. A man's purse. But anyway, I love speaking to my wife over the phone. People say we talk too much, but that's my best friend. Why shouldn't we be able to talk all the time? All day long, 24, 7 but did you know that 2026 will mark the 150th anniversary of the first ever phone call. It took place March 10, 1876, and that call sparked it all for the first long distance phone lines, the first lines across America, the first line across the Atlantic, the first round the world called, the first commercial cell Service, the first 911 system. AT&T has been connecting people for 150 years in so many different ways. Thank God we have cell phones. I can connect to my moms, my pops and my whole family. Thank you. AT&T.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Connecting changes everything AT&T this past weekend,

[Angela Yee]

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, you're asking the real questions. Like has he spoken to his State Farm agent yet about coverage? See, homeownership is one thing, but the right coverage is the real game changer. Even more than your last hot streak, it's how you protect your legacy. Dropping buckets and bars on the court. A State Farm agent can more than assist you with finding the right coverage for your new place. If you have a claim, your local agent can help you file it. Yup, that's right. Over the phone, in person, online or on the app, they are ready to help you and they don't drop the ball. You know what I mean? Like a good neighbor, State Farm is

Many people who've shown us such incredible support, and it's a classic case of something that could have been very negative becoming very positive. Thank you so much for the support. It was still negative. Okay. What happened at the Baptist was still negative.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, but I guess it was showing. The amount of support that they received was so positive and so loving. So that's dope.

[Angela Yee]

Nothing makes you get over a nigga like your niggas.

[Lauren LaRosa]

No, for real. Yesterday when I was, I watched it yesterday. I didn't watch it live when it aired. And I was watching, I'm like, dang. I know. Like you watch that and you go watch something like the SAG or the Actors Awards and I'm like, the, the cultural difference and just the, the different feeling of like love and us in that room. I know that it felt good for them to be in that. But Regina hall also took some time. She was on stage and she made sure she showed Del Rey Lindo and Michael B. Jordan some love. Let's take a listen. I'd like also to just take a moment to the two kings who are in this audience and just send you so much love for your class. And that is Michael B. Jordan and. And Delroy Lindell.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Lauren LaRosa]

And then also that night, Michael B. Jordan, he accepted the lead actor award. You also have Viola Davis, who accepted the Chairman's Award, who also gave a very moving speech.

[Angela Yee]

That was at the SAG Awards. Right.

[Mimi Brown]

That was at the naacp.

[Lauren LaRosa]

NAACP Image Awards. I'm about to head into saga because we do want to get there. But Salt and Peppa and DJ Spinderella also accepted the hall of Fame award last night at the NAACP Image Awards, too. So I wanted to make sure we showed them some love. But getting into the SAG Awards, and I know, Mimi, you're going to talk more about the Image Awards on front page news, because there was also some

[Mimi Brown]

Ice stuff that was some Epstein stuff that was brought up.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Lauren LaRosa]

And I don't know why some of the stuff that they blurred off, I feel like it should have been fine. Because even that Delver Lindo moment, if you watch certain broadcasts, even today, the part where he thinks people for their support is not in there. Like, they took it out. Yes. I had to go to Twitter to find it. Most outlets, when they covered it by

[DJ Envy]

saying thank you for supporting.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I don't know what the controversy around him feeling supported as a black man is, but maybe there was one. Because most outlets, if you go, they don't have the video. They just have like the trend. Like, they transcribed it. And I don't know why, but yeah. So going over to the SAG Awards are now called the Actors Awards, which went down last night in la. Zendaya. We found out on the carpet that Zendaya is now married to Tom Holland.

[Angela Yee]

Let's take a listen.

[Lauren LaRosa]

You and Zendaya have the relationship every

[Charlamagne Tha God]

stylist and every celebrity would love to have. We know she's gonna be getting married. Are we thinking about the looks already for the wedding? Do you come to her and say, hazendaya, I think.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Or does she say, this is the bride?

[Angela Yee]

I want to look like y'. All. The wedding already happened. Y' all missed it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, you know, the other day they

[Lauren LaRosa]

said she had on a couple gold band and folks were wondering, the wedding is over.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Sorry.

[Angela Yee]

Would you stop?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I love them, too.

[Lauren LaRosa]

That was Law Roach. That was her stylist. So the world found out last night that this Zendaya was married. And then we went into the.

[Angela Yee]

After Zendaya get pregnant before R. I thought Ru would have got pregnant before Zendaya.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What she pregnant?

[Lauren LaRosa]

I did.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I didn't.

[Angela Yee]

I never knew she or married or something.

[DJ Envy]

Is pregnant.

[Angela Yee]

Quiet.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I love them too. They're dope.

[Angela Yee]

Dope couple.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah. So and Tiana tailed on her carpet, her and her baby girl. They stole the.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The.

[Lauren LaRosa]

The whole night. But going into the actual awards Sinners mentioned again. Uh, Ryan Coogler made history at the Actors Award last night. He was the first. He's the first person to direct two cast ensemble winners for Sinners and then for Black Panther, which he did some years ago. That, uh, took home some SAG Awards. So amazing. And it was a very different experience. It was hosted by Kristen. Christian Bale, very different.

[Angela Yee]

But Michael B. Jordan won at the SAG Awards. Right. So does that increase his chances of winning at the Oscars? I don't know. I don't know how that works.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, yeah. 100 they do. And the fact that because Sinners took home a lot yesterday at the SAG Awards and at the na. NAACP Image Awards, so most people now are predicting that whatever they are looking at Oscars, wise nomination, it's like a sweet.

[Angela Yee]

Now, why does SAG Awards look so cheap? It look like a goddamn candle.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Angela Yee]

What? It look like a big candle. You ain't never seen the SAG Award.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Hey, yo, did you say Christian Bale hosted?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yes.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Really?

[Lauren LaRosa]

And she did.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She. Her mom, right?

[DJ Envy]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Christian Bale, the guy that pleased.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, she opened with like this, like, she did like a. Like a dance. Kind of like a Broadway type of dance thing. It was so different than Diaco. And I watched them both in the same night. And I was like, yo, the big difference. Oh, my God, Yes. Like, completely big difference. But, yes, Mimi will be talking more about some of the other things in Front page news later.

[DJ Envy]

All right, now, next, when we come back. All right, Front page news happening. So don't go anywhere live. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

[Angela Yee]

Good morning, everybody.

[DJ Envy]

It's DJ Envy. Jess. Hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Let's get to. I'm gonna say the latest. Let's get to Friday. Mimi's here, ladies and gentlemen.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Hey, girl.

[DJ Envy]

What's up, baby?

[Mimi Brown]

Good morning, everyone. How y' all doing this morning?

[DJ Envy]

Good.

[Mimi Brown]

Good morning. Okay, so we start this hour with something that we don't say enough in the news, which is you could be getting money back. I think that's good news that everyone wants to hear, right?

[Angela Yee]

From who?

[Mimi Brown]

Now I'm about to tell you. So after the Supreme Court ruled that the president, his emergency tariffs were illegal, more than 1, 000 companies, they have now filed a lawsuit trying to recover that money for what they paid for those tariffs. And so this is where it could hit your wallet. So FedEx says if they get money back from the government, it will send that money back to customers who paid those extra charges in the first place. The timing, though, is not clear yet. Courts still have to sort out how refunds would actually work. But FedEx is saying very plainly that if we get refunded, so will you. And that's not the only money news.

[Angela Yee]

You're not getting refunded. Not at all.

[Mimi Brown]

Not anytime soon. But, but, but they're.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But, you know, that's what they're saying.

[Angela Yee]

Getting no refund either.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Mimi is keeping hope alive right now.

[Mimi Brown]

It's hard out here.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

People need help.

[Mimi Brown]

But that's not the only money news. So if you have State Farm insurance, you'll want to listen to this, too.

[DJ Envy]

Okay.

[Mimi Brown]

State Farm says they're sending money back to drivers, so about $100 per vehicle on average to auto insurance companies this summer. In total, that's about 5 billion going back to, to people's bank accounts. So the company said that it had a better financial year than it expected. Repair costs are down. So instead of keeping that extra cushion, it's returning some of that money to customers.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I know that's right. And I got State Farm. Yes. I love it.

[Mimi Brown]

Okay, so here's the, here's the. The cherry on top is not going to show up as a credit on your bill. They say it will be actual cash paid out.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Okay.

[Angela Yee]

Yes. Really?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes.

[Angela Yee]

How many people, though? Like, how many people?

[Mimi Brown]

A lot of people.

[Angela Yee]

Who. Okay.

[Mimi Brown]

But the amount depends on where you live and your policy. So it could vary just depending on what you pay, what your policy is.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I mean, but, you know, that's, that's.

[Angela Yee]

Don't y' all spend that 27.36. Y' all about to get.

[Mimi Brown]

The average is about a hundred dollars.

[Angela Yee]

How much?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

100. It's 100 boys per vehicle.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So if you have, you know, four

[Mimi Brown]

vehicles on your policy, you know that's right.

[Angela Yee]

That's 300.

[DJ Envy]

And that might mean people are. They can't afford to fix their cars. That's why you might see a lot of people driving around with cracked cars, because they don't to go through insurance. Their insurance goes up. So they leave their car hit or dented or whatever it may be.

[Mimi Brown]

Exactly.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's been going on since the beginning of time.

[Mimi Brown]

And usa, they did something similar. So usa, they serve military members and their families. They said that they gave out 4 billion last year to companies, to customers when they had a surplus.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So, you know, it's.

[Mimi Brown]

It's something.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Love some money news.

[Mimi Brown]

Right? Of course. And so as we were talking earlier in the latest. So politics, it found its way to the naacp Image Awards Saturday night. We talked a little bit about Deon Cole and some of the things that he said already in regards to Nicki Minaj. But he also took some political jabs at Epstein and @ice. So let's listen to what he had to say.

[Angela Yee]

One of the biggest stories in the news right now is those files, though, right? Those files are, like, everywhere. Everybody talking about them or whatever. But, you know, one thing I thought about those files, I knew weren't no

[DJ Envy]

black people in those files now.

[Angela Yee]

Weren't no black. Cause that ain't our thing. You know what I mean? That ain't our thing.

[DJ Envy]

We like grown women, you know what I mean?

[Angela Yee]

Grown women with a 401k, you know, women that can fold a fitted sheet. You know, some of y' all still balling it up. You rookies now. Naacp. I want to do something, all right? A little different, all right?

[DJ Envy]

I want to buy a curse word, all right?

[Angela Yee]

I know we ain't supposed to curse on that war shows, but I need this to put emphasis on what I'm trying to say, all right? So charge me for this curse word. Here we go. I don't want to see no ICE ever again.

[Mimi Brown]

So what they bleeped out is he gave the big middle finger to Ice, right? Said it in the audience or something like that. Exactly what he said, you know, and he got a standing ovation, which I don't know if you saw at home, but in the audience, he got a standing ovation. I mean, people were, you know, looking around, I think, in the beginning to make sure, like, did you. Is this okay? But then everyone stood up and clapped for that.

[Angela Yee]

I wonder if they told him he couldn't say Epstein, because he just kept saying.

[Mimi Brown]

He did just say the list. He did say the list. He did say the list. But even after that ICE joke, he went on to joke a little bit more. He said he looked at the guest list, and he said, I saw if ice tea was on there. We took it off. Ice Cube, Ice Spice. There was no ice allowed, even ice. I didn't watch the Olympics because it had too much ice. You know what I mean? So that went over really, really well.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The uncle was very clever.

[Mimi Brown]

He was very, very, very clever and

[Charlamagne Tha God]

the perfect host for the naacp.

[DJ Envy]

He did a great job.

[Mimi Brown]

He did a great, great job. And then as we talk a little bit more about events happening in LA this weekend in south la, what started as a petition, it became a permanent city history. So the intersection of Slauson and Crenshaw is now officially Nipsey Hussle Square. Yes, yes, yes, yes. So honoring the late rapper, entrepreneur, community builder. This is the same intersection where Nipsey once sold his mixtapes as a. As a teenager. The block where he opened the Marathon clothing store and now it carries his name. His brother Black Sam was there. He told the crowd that the real legacy isn't the street sign, but it's what remains. Investing in the local community with the youth education programs, ownership, discipline, opportunity. And this didn't happen by accident. So Los Angeles City Council President Marquez. Marquez Harris. Sorry. Marquez Harris Dawson. I want to get that right. He helped lead the charge to make this into a reality, turning thousands of petitions, signatures into official action. So I interviewed him about this and what this means for him and what his office was able to accomplish. Let's listen to what he had to say.

[Angela Yee]

For me, it was nice to get it done.

[DJ Envy]

You know, as a politician, you.

[Mimi Brown]

You.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You.

[Angela Yee]

You're very nervous about. I said this thing, and I never got it done.

[DJ Envy]

And so it was just nice to close the loop.

[Angela Yee]

But also, you have very few chances

[DJ Envy]

as an elected official to do something

[Angela Yee]

that you believe will be historic, that people will be talking about long after you're gone. So people who will never know my name will say, yes, I'm going over to Nip Nipsey Hussle Square to go

[DJ Envy]

to the Marathon store.

[Angela Yee]

I'm going there to go to the neighborhood Nip foundation or to go get groceries.

[DJ Envy]

That means so much when you can

[Angela Yee]

make a mark on history that will

[DJ Envy]

last for generations to come.

[Angela Yee]

Absolutely. Nipsey's. Nipsey's legacy is eternal. At this point, I saw Lauren London say that Nipsey had told her one day they're gonna. Yeah.

[Mimi Brown]

She said when they first started dating, they would drive past that very intersection, and he would tell her one day, they're going to name this whole section after me. And this weekend, it became a reality. So, yes, that was proud of that. Yeah, it was. It was. It was a very, very beautiful thing to witness. A big occasion on Slauson and Crenshaw. Now, Nipsey Hustle Square.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So. All right, y'.

[DJ Envy]

All.

[Mimi Brown]

Well, that is your front page news. I'm Mimi Brown. Follow me at Mimi Brown tv. For more stories, follow the Black Information network or visit bin news.com thank you, Mimi.

[DJ Envy]

All right, now when we come back, Corey Bush will be joining us. She's running to represent Missouri St. Louis's 1st congressional district, and we're going to talk to her next. So don't go anywhere it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlamagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Lauren, the Roses here as well. We got a special guest in the building.

[Angela Yee]

Yes, indeed.

[DJ Envy]

She's back. Congresswoman from Missouri, ladies and gentlemen, Corey with an I. Welcome. How you feeling this morning?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, I'm amazing.

[Angela Yee]

Thank you.

[DJ Envy]

Feeling good.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm feeling so good. I'm so glad to be here today with you all again.

[Angela Yee]

What made you want to get back into this fight, Corey?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So first of all, I wasn't ready to leave, and I should not have lost my seat. I should still be there right now.

[Angela Yee]

They spent a lot of money to beat you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

They spent $15 million to beat me. And for context, it only cost about $1 million. This race cost anywhere from 1 to $2 million to win and run. I mean, to run and win. So for them to spend 15 million to get me out, and they only won by five points. They. They couldn't even get me by double digits. Like, it took that much. And when I beat the person that my predecessor, their family had been in, that had held that seat for 52 years, I beat them with $1 million.

[Angela Yee]

Wow.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So that's just how hard it was for them to get me out.

[Angela Yee]

And when you say them, he was APAC funded.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He was totally APAC funded. But big crypto and big real estate. They came in to help, but it was. It was mostly apac.

[Angela Yee]

Why, though? Like, why did they. Why did they need to spend so much money to take you out?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So, first of all, when the insurrection happened, it was my third day in office. We didn't even have, like, water in the office yet. Like, we. I didn't have a panic button, but barricaded in my office. And I mean barricaded, like. And I said, you know, like, if these folks come down the hallway, if they come. If they come for me because my name is on this door. If they come for me. Like, we. Banging to the end. Like, I meant I was going to fight these things, people. If they came. If they came for me and my team. But I sat there so p. Ed off that I introduced my first piece of legislation to investigate and expel any member of Congress that participated in the insurrection. So first of all. So that off Trump. Yeah. You know, off the administrator administration. They were already upset with me before that because I'm the Ferguson protester, you know, so. But after that, I just kept doing things that was upset in the Right. But it wasn't until I Introduced the ceasefire now resolution when there was about to be this ground invasion in Gaza. How can I as a human being sit back and just say, how can I as a human being just sit back and say, like, it's cool to bomb people? You know, when I have. When I have a decision to make, when. If it wasn't. If I didn't have a decision to make, that's different. But I had a decision to make whether I would vote to send money there, whether I would stay silent or not. Because if bombs was about to drop in this country, you know, in my city, I would want somebody else to speak up and say something. So. So AIPAC got mad. They decided we want somebody that's more aligned with us, and we're going to use somebody that looks like you to help trick people, you know, and so that's what they did. So they wanted me out. They wanted me out so bad. And not only that, big real estate wanted me out. So they work together because I'm the one that camped out on the steps of the U. S. Capitol back in 2021 when the eviction moratorium was about to expire and I stayed out there. Activist Corey was out there on the ground four nights and five days. But we pushed the Biden administration, the CDC and all of those folks to extend that moratorium. So people were just mad, you know, I was gonna act.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So this time around, you know, running, what are you doing differently? Knowing that, like, you know, they. They don't want you there, and they're going to use everything they can.

[DJ Envy]

Know when you're under attack.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So, first of all, they made me stronger, so I'm a different person than I was then. I mean, I'm better than I was then. So I see things. I see things better. I'm doing things faster. We have a team that is bigger right now than we had when we ended the campaign last time. Like, we started off with a heavy team. We are making sure that our message is getting out there. One thing that's really different, too, is I had to be in D.C. and trying to run a race and work in Congress at the same time. Now I'm on the ground, I'm with the people. I'm where people know Corey usually is. I'm out in the street. So that changes a lot because people said, well, Corey, I really couldn't hear your message. Like, I didn't know. It didn't seem like you were fighting. And it's because I had to be away. Now I'm not away. And I'm with the community. The community is saying, so many people have come up to me and said, cory, we made a mistake. Like, we were listening to those ads. We, you know, we just didn't know what to think. And so. And the tide has turned. And so now people are like, oh, I understand why you were talking so much about, you know, keeping our money here and not. And our money not going to bomb people in another country. We just thought that you were saying you cared more about another country. Now we understand you were saying that you care that that money stays here in St. Louis.

[DJ Envy]

So besides the money, and what is the other reason? Because I'm sure you analyzed it, why you felt that you lost. Was it the ads that they put out? Because it had to be just something besides the money. Were people not coming out? Like, what do you think the reason was? Because it wasn't by that much.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, well, so some people said that they thought I had it in the bag because I had won my other race, the race previously, by 40 points, you know, well, 40%. And so people were like, you. Like, there's no way you can then turn around.

[DJ Envy]

Gotta go out. You gotta.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, so many people said that. And then the other part, which is something we're changing now, people say, corey, we thought that you were running in November. So we were waiting for the November election, and your. Your election was really in. In August. And so we missed a lot of people that way. So we've been hammering it now.

[Angela Yee]

It was a special election, right?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, no, that's. That's the primary, the Democratic primary. And so for me, we're in a Democratic district, so the general election is a lot easier to win. How did they get that mixed up, though? August from November? Because all of the talk about the presidential election, so people's focus was, I just need to show up in November.

[DJ Envy]

The elections are in November. So people just automatically think of November's election, November's elections.

[Angela Yee]

Did it hurt to lose?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It tore me up. Like, it was really. It was devastating. And not because I lost an election. I had lost elections before, and it's tough either way, let me just say. But this one, like, broke me down because I didn't lose because I wasn't doing my job. I didn't lose because I was a bad congresswoman or a bad candidate. I lost because $15 million of dark money, of corporate interest money, made the decision of who was going to represent St. Louis. And the person ran on live, so $15 million worth of ads saying, cory, Wants children to drink contaminated water from lead pipes. You know, Corey hates Joe Biden. Those were most of the ads. None of the ads spoke about Israel. None of the ads spoke about Gaza or anything else. They say it was mostly about Joe Biden. And so my thing is this. If you run in on truth, like, if you believe you better than me and you're going to do more for the community, say that. Say what you're going to do. Like, I respect that, but don't lie. Because if you lie, then you're deceiving the very people that you claim you want to represent. And it's about you, not the people.

[DJ Envy]

Now, the gentleman you lost to is a brother. Do you have any relationship with him at all? Do y' all know each other at all coming up or anything like that?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, yeah, We. You know, we were friends. We were friends, and so. So much so. To where. My dad even went to one of his events when he was. Because. So first he came out saying he was running against Josh Hawley. We all know Josh Hawley, Republican out of Missouri, who became. You know, I think he. He got some more notoriety at the insurrection when he put up the fist outside the Capitol. So he said he was running against him. He called him the greatest threat to America and to democracy. He actually wasn't really running against him. He used that to raise money, but to run against me. But so my dad was so excited, like, okay, somebody's gonna take out Josh Hawley. And my dad got all of his friends to come to one of his fundraisers, and my dad gave him a check. Two weeks later, he announced he was running against me, and he used your

[DJ Envy]

dad's money to run against you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know, and so I. But before that, we had worked together on different issues. You know, we had been at events together. We were cool. Like, we would talk on the phone,

[DJ Envy]

you know, even though he's Republican, it didn't matter, y'.

[Angela Yee]

All.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, you know, he played like he wasn't a Republican, but he really. You know, I think in his heart, he really is. But, yeah, we were like. We were. You didn't see this coming at all? No. Like, I wouldn't have never thought that. And so. But what I did, though, because people kept calling me saying, corey, he's running against you. Like, it's a lie that he's running against Josh Hawley. And so I called him one day. I called him, and I said, hey, yeah, You know, But I was like, okay, let me just. Let me just tell you what people are saying. Because a whole, A whole article came out in our, in our biggest newspaper in town saying that he was, it was really a lie. So I called him. I'm like, hey, why am I hearing all of these things about you running against me? And you said you run against Josh Hawley. Oh, sis, no, I'm not run. I would never run against you. I wouldn't. You won your race the way I did. I would never run against you. And so I, so I, because he started doing. Then I hit record and I recorded it. And so, so it turns out, you know, he, he was, he lied. And you know, so I, I lost all respect for Dude. Because the thing is, if we're friends, you can run against. This is a democracy. You can run against somebody. Like, that's not my issue. But at least like, be up front, say that, hey, this is what I want. But when AIPAC comes to you, he'll. Harper sat with you all and what, a year, two years ago and talked about how AIPAC came to him and asked him to run against, to run, I think against Rashida Talib for $20 million. And he turned it down. Well, the guy that's in the seat now, in my community, he didn't turn the money down.

[Angela Yee]

Wow.

[DJ Envy]

And he's a Democrat. I just want to say I said Republican before he is.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He was the campaign manager to a Republican that was trying to restrict abortion rights in Missouri. So it's crazy how this is. Yeah.

[Angela Yee]

Okay.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I was gonna say just listening to it, literally, it's like the shows that we watch on tv, like what goes down. And I know that, that because you guys race was one of the most expensive primaries in American history.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Literally. Yes, yes.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Just because they were trying to get you about it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Only because they wanted me out, you know, and they knew that I had already been. Been like doing a lot to try to uncover what was going to happen with Project 2025 had Trump got in. And people were like, oh, no, it's not real Trump. You know, Project 2025 won't happen. And so they were just trying to stop that. So, yeah, they spent all of that money, you know, and the thing is this. Why would they. Why would they spend what. Why would they need to spend all of that money in a Democratic district, one that's going to go to a Democrat anyway. And AIPAC is primarily funded by Republicans. But why would they get involved in the race like that? And you got two black folks running. Why get involved. You know, why. Why did they get involved in my race? And Jamal Bowman's race and make us the most expensive US House races in history. Primaries in history. Why are you coming? For two black people? Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

They said they spent over $8.5 million from Apex. Spent more than that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I know you said it made you stronger, right? Strong enough to run this time. But did you ever feel discouraged to the point where you like, no, I'm not doing this. Yeah, up until I made the. It took me months, you know, I was broken. So I lost the race. August, I think it was August 6th of 2024. And I still had to be in Congress for another several months, until January. So I had to, you know, move out of the office. They put you in this little cubicle. Like, you didn't. Don't even have an office anymore. They're trying to transition you out. And so I had to still show up as a congressperson, still do all of my work and know that I was. That I was leaving. And I was trying to figure out, like, what do I do with my life? Because I didn't. Like, I had been working for this for 10 years, you know, so, like, what. Like, what am I going to do now? So that was just really. I just didn't know what to do. But it was after I left my sister in service, Rasheeda Tlaib, she came to me like, that February, and she said, corey, you gonna run again? I was like, no. You know, I'm talking to my husband. We're like, you know, we're trying to get our. Get ourselves, like, grounded. And then the people of St. Louis were coming up to me on the street. Like, everywhere I would be walking down the street and people would stop and jump out of cars. You gotta run again, like, you know. And so that's what helped to build me back up, is seeing the community like, we messed up. We didn't do right by you last time. We want to be. We are here for you now. And so that really helped. But I. To climb out of that, you know, it. You know, it's hard because my heart wasn't for. My heart wasn't for me. My heart was for the community. Everything I did, I have been. I have been shot at, beat up. Like, so many things have happened to me and my family to be able to do this work. We needed security because we needed security, you know, like. Like, I put my life on the line for the people of my community in this country. And then to get kicked in the back like that, it was. It was hard. What did the pastor do? Like, the pastor, you like, you know, the pastor and you. What did. Did that kick in? Like, absolutely. No. That's what did it. I. So first I had to check with my family and my husband more directly because how things impacted us, you know, and how, like, the. The DOJ was being weaponized against us, you know, we want to make it seem like you're a criminal and you did this and all of that kind of stuff. So I had to make sure that home was good first. But it was my faith that kept me from feeling like I needed to go hide in a corner somewhere. You know, it was like, Corey, you know who you are and whose you are. You know, you got God and, you know, you have a purpose. The only reason I ran for that seat in the first place was my mission. I knew that it was my mission. Even right now. Even right now. It's like, you know, like. Like you asked Charlemagne, like, you know, you putting yourself out there, doing this again. Some people have asked me about Ayanna Pressley had asked me. She's like, corey, why would you want to do this to yourself again? You know, and for me, and what I said to her was, because it's not about me. It's about the mission. It's what I know that the Lord is sending me to do, you know? And so whether. However it goes, I gotta. I gotta say yes. Like, I. I gotta say yes. Because on the other side of this, yes, people are helped, whatever it looks like. Yeah.

[Angela Yee]

I'm glad you're saying this, and I'm glad you just asked those questions because I've seen so many people just become bitter, and all they do now is complain on Instagram.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah.

[Angela Yee]

And I'm like, yo, why don't you get back into the fight?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

You know what I mean?

[Angela Yee]

Like, get back into the fight. Okay. You lost a couple of races. Get back into the fight.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

But it got to be depressing, it got to be difficult. It got to be hard.

[Angela Yee]

But you don't got to stay there, though.

[DJ Envy]

You got to feel like you would. You know, people switch sides on you. It gotta hurt, you know, because. Especially when all you want to do is do something positive for your community and you see all these ads, you gotta get to a point where you be like, f this. Yeah, I rather my piece. But, you know, you. You decided to say, nah, I'm gonna get back in there and fight.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But like you said, people was coming up to you on the streets, though. Like, the people. That's what the connection is, right? Yes, always. Whether it's Politics, pastoring. Like, it's people. As long as you connect to them. Yeah. And it's service. All of it is service. And, you know, there are days when I'm like, this still hurts. Because when you know that you've helped people. Like, there are people in the community that I helped, organizations that I helped financially, where I put my name on the line, where I put. I was a freshman trying to help put. I was pushing leadership, saying, no, my community needs this. No, I need. You know, even President Biden would say, here, okay, Corey, here she comes. She's going to talk about St. Louis again. Like, people knew, like, I was putting my name on the line, making sure that these folks that said we need X amount of dollars, that they were able to get those dollars. And to see them turn on me when this other person decided to run against me, it was so easy. Like, they didn't even reach out to say, sis, you know, we got to make a different decision this time because of X. It was just like, stab you in the back, you know? So that's what it was. It was really hard. And even some days now, and I've had to get myself together to forgive. You know, I had to, like, I had to really sit with forgiveness and understand, like, forgiveness is not for them. Forgiveness is for me. Forgiveness is so that I can go out and do the work with a clean heart. Because the thing is this, the night that I won my election in 2020, when I. When I won the last election that November, the general, I said I don't. In my speech. I don't care if you voted for me. I don't care if you like me. I don't care if you villainize my name. My question for you is, do you have food? Did you eat? Do you have shelter? Do you have water? Do you have. So that. And so today, that is still the same.

[Angela Yee]

How are you going to defeat the machine, though? Yeah, Because, I mean, the machine is still here. You know what I'm saying? You're still. You still. Your stance has not changed.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Right, Right.

[Angela Yee]

So how are you going to defeat the machine? Because they back still. They spending money now.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, they're spending money. Yeah. What we're seeing right now is they're spending, like, somewhere around $2 million in a lot of these races. But back in 2024, people didn't really know, like, on a. On a math level anyway, on a mass scale who AIPAC was at the time, you know, and we weren't able to spend the money to get the. To make the connection to just like message that we had to talk about other things as well. Now the tide has turned and people know who AIPAC is. People are pissed off now that they know who AIPAC is. There was a town hall in my community that the current congressman held his town. It was in person, his town hall back in August. Most of the questions were around AIPAC money and it was around his support for a genocide. And when I say he was hammered over and over again at people asking about that because the weight was worth it.

[Angela Yee]

You ever wonder how far an EV can take you on one charge? Well most people drive about 40 miles a day, which means you can do all daily stuff no problem. Go to work, grab the kids at school, get the groceries and still have enough charge to visit your in laws in the next county. But they don't need to know that. And the best part, you won't have to buy gas at all. The way forward is electric. Explore EVs that fit your [e-mail]

[Charlamagne Tha God]

they were like we just didn't know that this is who you would be. But also at the end of that, and I don't know if you all saw it, it went viral. But at the end of that town, Hal, some of his constituents were brutalized by local his security and local law enforcement just waiting to talk, get a chance to talk to him, to ask him more questions. And so the community is already upset. Also we had a devastating tornado that came through the inner City in St. Louis and devastated homes and people. That was in May of last year. People are still living in tents. People who are homeowners still don't have a place to live right now. And the community has been fighting for more dollars. He has not shown up. He has not shown up. And so people, so that's what's different, you know, is that people are saying we know that we don't have the right person. So yeah, AIPAC can try to put all of this money into our community. But the people are saying we're watching now, we want to see if they're giving how much money they're giving because we don't want our candidates to take that money. So that's what's different too is, is we're seeing it all across the country. Different members of Congress are saying I'm not This time I'm not going to take the money because they're getting pressure from their communities.

[Angela Yee]

People who are listening, who don't know what AIPAC is like, explain to people you know what AIPAC is because I'm hearing a lot of folks now say they're not voting for any candidate who takes money from apac.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, AIPAC is the American Israel Public Affairs Committee. It is an organization, but they are, they also have affiliated PACs where political action committees where they can get funnel money to, to candidates to run for office. But their, their whole mission, to paraphrase is basically to make sure that there is 100% support for Israel and the agenda to be this big ally to the United States, but basically supporting Israel. So if you, you know, if you won't vote exactly the way they want you to vote on every single bill that prioritizes Israel, even if it deprioritizes the United States, you're in trouble with them. And for me, when my community is, you know, in need of health, people in my community don't have health care. When people in my community are sleeping on the street, when people in my community are still trying to figure out how to end gun violence. And you know, and we have all of these issues, you know, we don't have clean water all the time. We have, you know, we have issues with water. We have issues. We have freaking people dying right now in our community from radioactive waste dumped in our community from the federal government. That's been happening for decades. And people are literally dying. And you're telling us to give money to, to prioritize another country, you know, and so that, so people, I need people to understand that we, this is not something that is against a people. We're not against another country. What we're saying is the United States deserve, we deserve to take care of our people, you know, but can we help? Congo? Yes. Can we help, you know, the Sudan? Can we help? Gaza? Can we help? Syria, can we help? Yemen? Can we help who all can we help these other countries? Can we help? Haiti and Cuba? Can we help? We should be helping who we can help. Can we help? Honduras? We should be helping who we can help. But we take care of our people.

[Angela Yee]

I mean, I mean, that's why America first messaging works, right? And you know, I say it all the time. Nobody would care where America sent money if people in America were taken care of.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Angela Yee]

If people's basic needs in America were taken care of and they had money in their pocket, they could care less. Where you Send money.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Right. But. But they want to defund the social safety net when you want to. When this country says, you know what? We're gonna knock people off a snap. SNAP is food. Like, it's. You need food to live, to survive. Nobody's becoming a millionaire or getting rich off of snap. You know, people just need to eat. So when you say we would rather prioritize, you know, giving tax breaks to the rich and the wealthy, and we're gonna. We're gonna help do that by. By defunding snap.

[Angela Yee]

When I saw Trump say at the State of the Union the other day, when he was, like, bragging about cutting food stamps, like, that's a good thing. I'm like, oh, he has no idea who even his base is.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Who his base is.

[Angela Yee]

Because they own food.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

They're on food stamps.

[DJ Envy]

I was gonna ask, you know, when you have, you know, your district, right, what do you tell them? Because they have to be discouraged from all the politics and even young leaders out there that want to get into it. So what do you tell those young leaders and people from your district how to not get discouraged? Like, what is your message to them?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah. So the thing is right now, and I know that there has. There had been a lot of discourse for a while, like, we're going to sit this out, like, you know, let somebody else do it. And I understand that sentiment, people feeling really discouraged. But I look at it like this. For all the things that we've gone through over the last 10 years, 15 years, but especially the last 10, to me, it was in preparation for this moment. It was us getting in place. It was us learning so we. That we could be ready for right now. Are we tired? Are we discouraged? Are we tired of our politics, politicians, you know, being hypocrites? Are we tired of all of this? Yes, we are. But then this is the moment that we step up. Because if we do not, what are we leaving to our children and our children's children? What world are we leaving to them? And so I understand feeling discouraged and. And to our youth, too. What I tell them is, look, there are parts of Missouri where there are children, there are students who go to school four days a week. There are students who go to school five days a week. I said, that was a decision that a person made. A person said, this is what I want. They went and talked to their friends and they made a law and changed and changed how kids go to school in Missouri. I said, that is how these laws happen. It's somebody's idea. Didn't come from, you know, up in the sky. So somebody's going to get in the seat. Somebody is going to be your, your voice. Somebody's going to be the person to write these laws, to legislate for you, to speak for you. Don't let them do it without you, you know, and don't and start showing up. So I let them know like get, get in on the ground floor because this is your world to create and, and it's right now.

[Angela Yee]

How do they donate to your campaign? Corey?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Thank you for having me and love you luck. Thank you.

[DJ Envy]

It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Let's get to the latest with Lauren.

[Angela Yee]

Your talk.

[Lauren LaRosa]

LL Cool Yeah, I'm not dumbing myself down. I'm being myself. I'm the home girl that knows a little bit about everything and everything.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Little brown girls look at you and go, I want to be like you. Take me through that. Take me through there.

[Angela Yee]

The latest with Breakfast Club. LL Cool B.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Talk to me so real quick. I wanted to charlamally last hour you had mentioned the Oscars and Sinners and what that would look like. I did want to make sure that we said, because we didn't get to say it last hour that Michael B. Jordan winning the award that he won last night when he took home the best male, best male performance in a leading role at the SAG or Actors Awards, a lot of people didn't predict that he would win that. So it was like an upset. Timothee Chalamet, Leonardo DiCaprio, Ethan Hawke and Jesse Plemons were also in the category. So that shakeup is supposed to be a big part of the reason why. Reason why the Oscars or Sinners may be set for the Oscars and Michael B. Jordan himself, who's nominated for best actor, leading role, which is his first Oscar nomination. Now, people are thinking that he might take the Oscar home. So I did want to mention.

[DJ Envy]

I hope he gets it.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Me too. I love the nominee. Love to see it in the category

[Charlamagne Tha God]

with a lot of other good nominees, too. So that's what's up.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, he said too he was surprised, but yes. Now, last week we talked about power from Wu Tang and. And him passing away. His family posted joint statement where they just sent out, you know, some words from the family, but they revealed his cause of death. They revealed that he passed away from pancreatic cancer. They say he was a true fighter until the end. And he was surrounded by his mother, his children, his family, and his closest friends. And then they go into, you know, some of the background with him and Wu Ting and him being one of the founders and, you know, the business minds behind the brand. But, yeah, and they talk about some of the wake in the funeral plans that will happen later this month. Month. But a little update there.

[Angela Yee]

Rest in peace.

[DJ Envy]

Rest in peace.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yes. And yesterday or over the weekend, and then yesterday, Dawn Staley, the coach of South Carolina's women's basketball team, you already know. Yeah, I saw you was at the games. That was last weekend, right? This weekend?

[Angela Yee]

Yeah, I went to the. What game was that? The Missouri. They played Missouri, I think. Yeah. Last Thursday.

[DJ Envy]

Thursday.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Well, Dawn Staley had posted on X. Her first tweet was on the 28th, so that was Saturday. Uh, she posted pleads, please, asking for prayers for some of their former players because they are stuck in a war zone in Israel. She says, we are working on a plan to get them home. Let us pray for our loved ones to return home safe in asap. Thank you in advance. Now, the. The players that she's referring to, Tiffany Mitchell, Destiny Littleton, and Micah Herbert Herring Harrigan, they're players in. They. They play basketball in Israel. And when everything happened over the weekend with the attacks on Iran, they were kind of put in a really tough position. One of the players, her name is Destiny, she's actually been actively tweeting just to let people know she's okay, talking about everything that's happening, what she's seeing when injuries come up. She's like, look, we're good. We're alive and we're safe for now. So they've been keeping people updated via xo, sending some prayers to them, and I. I can't imagine. You're not even. You don't even really know what to Do. Yeah. You know what I'm saying?

[DJ Envy]

Yeah. That is over there. That's crazy. And the thing is, a lot of players are playing over there. I see a men's team as well.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yes.

[DJ Envy]

Stuck as well. So just, you know, praying for everybody to get back safe.

[Angela Yee]

And it's almost like in those countries, they treat it like, I guess, how we look at hurricanes because I see them say they're going to shelters.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah. And I thought, so Destiny was tweeting, she was saying that, like it's 10pm and we have been siren free and boom, free of the sound for the last couple hours. I'm praying it continues this way. Then she talked about them getting into like a safe space or place for 20 minutes, which was the longest that they've been in, like whatever the space was. And I'm like having to figure all that out. But people were responding to some of the tweets, even that Don Staley put up. And I saw Don Staley respond to it asking, well, why would they be over there anyway? And I'm like, right now that's what y' all are like. That's the response.

[DJ Envy]

Well, first of all, I see it. I did see that when they would want to know. No, they have to. Whatever reason, they didn't make the wnba. So they're playing professional overseas.

[Angela Yee]

Oh, so they play both.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But for people who don't.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Two of them were playing.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know what I'm saying? They just like, why are professional basketball.

[DJ Envy]

They're playing professional basketball over there. A lot of. A lot of players play over there and they make a lot of money

[Angela Yee]

and they do well.

[DJ Envy]

So, yeah, that's the reason why they work.

[Angela Yee]

That's why stuff like the unrivaled league, that's why this new deal that the WNBA is doing where they'll be getting paid more money. That's why sponsorships, that's why all that stuff is important. So, you know, they don't have to play twice. Take those risks.

[DJ Envy]

Absolutely.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Can't imagine.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Definitely risky.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Well, and another update. We talked about this on last week as well. Teddy Riley and Keith Sweat. There was a conversation that happened on the We Are in Miami podcast where Teddy Riley talks about not making any money except for like fifteen hundred dollars off of everything he's done music wise with Keith Sweat. Now, Teddy Riley posted an apology. I was actually communicating with them. We were going to do it, like, where he gave it to us, but he posted it to Instagram. But then he took it down. But we have it. Let's listen to Teddy Riley apologizing to Keith Sweat.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I want to apologize to my brother, Keith Sweat.

[Mimi Brown]

If anything that I said was taken

[Lauren LaRosa]

the wrong way or cause confusion or hurt to his family or anyone, I apologize. Keith and I, we built a culture. We built a sound, we built new Jack swing.

[Mimi Brown]

We are the pioneers of that.

[Lauren LaRosa]

The bond that we have is bigger than anything in any headlines or misunderstanding.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

My comments were solely about the record

[Lauren LaRosa]

label Ventertainment, Vincent Davis, along with Warner

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Brothers, who houses the Vent Attainment label

[Mimi Brown]

and the Keith Sweat Make It Last Forever album.

[Lauren LaRosa]

It's the record label.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's not Keith Sweat.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I have no idea. I think because it was so long, like, we didn't play the full because it was so long. I think maybe he was trying to speed it up so you could listen to all of it.

[DJ Envy]

Definitely posted in hyperspace.

[Lauren LaRosa]

It was. Yeah. And then it was taken down. I don't know if they took it down because of the way it sounded or what, but the apology is no longer on.

[Angela Yee]

It sound like he about to take over the world with Pinky. Like, what's up with him?

[DJ Envy]

I don't know why he posted it like that, but whatever the speed was, it was like plus five.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah. I should have prefaced that with saying, that wasn't us. It was the way that he was.

[Angela Yee]

Producers got to stop thinking about everything with a producer here, right? Like, post the goddamn video. You know what I'm saying? Let me post this and speed it up just a little bit. Let's go put a little pitch on it. Like, no, just God damn, say what you got to say and keep it moving.

[DJ Envy]

Because I thought it was my Instagram at first when I first seen it, because I talk like. I'm like, what the hell's going on? But he posted it like that.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What about Keith Sweat? Did he say anything?

[Lauren LaRosa]

No, Keith Sweat hasn't said anything publicly, but I did talk to him prior to all of this, and, you know, he. He just wanted everything to be cleared up. That was Keith Sweat's biggest thing. Like, this needs to be cleared up, even if he had to do it himself, but he didn't want to. So I. I think, you know, that was Teddy Riley trying to do it, but again, it's not there anymore, and I'm not really for sure why. But yes.

[Angela Yee]

Can I tell people something too, man? I want y' all to go to vote.rockhall.com and vote for the Rock and Roll hall of fame inductions for 2026. Okay. Because, you know, they have some great Some of our legends are, you know, up for to be inducted this year. New Edition, Wu Tang Clan. Luther Vandross, Lauryn Hill, Mariah Carey. I'm missing somebody right now.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Damn, that's crazy. Mariah Carey is not.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Did you say Lauren Hill already?

[Angela Yee]

Y' all said Lauryn Hill. That's wild. Phil Collins. There's a lot of people nominated, but you can go to vote.rockhall.com right now and vote because, you know, you got. They got fan votes, and then they got a board and then they got a whole other committee. And yes.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I don't know who you might have missed from this is, but I saw you post yesterday that the New Edition or somebody numbers were climbing on the votes, which I thought was fire.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

I think they were number two. When I looked earlier when we first

[Lauren LaRosa]

talked about this, I know you. You said it was. It wasn't as much as it should have been. So it's been climbing.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah. I need to see new edition of Wu Tang Clan get in this. You know what I'm saying? Like, really for real. For real. So go to vote.rockhall.com all right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Speaking of, Happy birthday, Method Man.

[Angela Yee]

It's his birthday. Hey, happy boy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know what I'm saying?

[DJ Envy]

We gonna get some meth in the mix this morning. So salute to Method Man.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yes. And in the next latest, we'll be talking to you guys about Shia Buff and gay men.

[Angela Yee]

H. I laughed. I laughed so much at that video.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I enjoyed it thoroughly.

[Angela Yee]

I. I laugh. Watch that video way too many times.

[DJ Envy]

We'll talk about it next.

[Angela Yee]

Erical.

[DJ Envy]

Now, Charlemagne, who you giving your donkey to, man?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Before.

[Angela Yee]

After the hour. We need the president of the United States of America, Donald J. Trump, to come to the front of the congregation. We'd like to have a word with him. Wow.

[DJ Envy]

All right, we'll get to that next, and then we'll open up the phone lines, too. 800-585-1051. A lot going on over the weekend. We'd love to hear from you guys. All right, it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

[Angela Yee]

Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States.

[DJ Envy]

Wouldn't you love to see see one

[Angela Yee]

of these NFL owners when somebody disrespects our flag to say, get that son

[DJ Envy]

of a off the field right now.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Out.

[Angela Yee]

He's fired. He's fired. Trump, please step up to the congregation. Yes, you are, adult Trump. When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best.

[DJ Envy]

They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists.

[Angela Yee]

He's a jackass. Yes, Doc, here Today for Monday, March 2nd goes to the 45th and 47th President of the United States of America, Donald J. Trump. America, at this point, we are used to the lies and blatant hypocrisy, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't call it out for what it is. Okay? Lies. All right, this isn't a party thing, guys. If you're still looking at this through the lens of Democrats and Republicans, you missing the whole point, okay? And it's actually incredible to me that people who voted for and supported Donald Trump can't simply say when he's wrong. Okay? It's okay to say you got conned by a person who will go down in history as the greatest con man of all time. He finessed you into voting for him three times and won two of those times. And every single thing he told you he wasn't going to do, he's done. Okay, listen to me. For everyone who voted for Donald J. Trump, I was always taught being deceived is human. Staying deceived is ego. So please don't let your ego get in the way of acknowledging the mess that Donald J. Trump has gotten us into. Now, what mess are you talking about, Uncle Charlotte? Well, he declared war on Iran, seeking regime change. Let's go to what's this FOX News for the report, please.

[Mimi Brown]

We saw the military buildup go on for months and today in broad daylight, the US And Israel attacked Iran. Thick plumes of smoke drifting across Tehran on Saturday morning as President Trump announced the start of strikes against the Iranian regime.

[Angela Yee]

The United States military is undertaking a massive and ongoing operation to prevent this very wicked radical dictatorship from threatening America and our core national security interests.

[Mimi Brown]

The attacks coming after multiple rounds of talks in Geneva between the U.S. iran and Oman failed to convince Iran to

[Angela Yee]

abandon its nuclear program. This is the same man who self declared himself the peace president. Okay. This is the man who launched the Board of Peace. This is the man who 10 years ago promised to focus on America first. He said when he first ran for president in 2016 that regime change is a proven absolute failure. He promised to stop racing the topple foreign regimes. Okay. In 2024 when he ran for president, he said he would start no new wars. And he said that if big sister General Kamala Harris won, she would get us in the World War 3 guarantee and send the sons and daughters of Americans to to go fight for a war in a country that you've never heard of. I'm not making any of this up. Let's listen. We're going to stop the reckless and costly policy of regime change.

[DJ Envy]

One is strong and powerful military and

[Angela Yee]

ideally we don't have to use it. You know, we had no wars. Four years we had no wars. They said he will start a war. I'm not going to start a war. I'm going to stop wars. You're not going to have a war with me and you're not going to

[DJ Envy]

have a third world war with me.

[Angela Yee]

That I can tell you. I will also restore peace through strength and I will prevent World War three from happening. We will stop it. When Crooked Hillary Clinton was running against me, she said, look at him, listen to him.

[DJ Envy]

Listen to his horrible tone.

[Angela Yee]

I said that horrible tone is going to keep people from fighting us. And that's what happened. Well, none of that is aged well. Not to mention they told us last summer that Iran's nuclear facilities have been obliterated. And suggestions otherwise of fake news. That was posted on the White house website on June 25, 2025. But just last week on February 22, they told us Iran is a week away from bomb grade material. I'm not making none of this up either. Roll the tape. So Iran wants to meet.

[DJ Envy]

As you know, their sites were obliterated.

[Angela Yee]

They're very evil nuclear sites. They were now has been proven. We had some fake news for a little while. He also said that Obama would start a war with Iran to boost his re election prospects. Let's listen to this one. Our president will start a war with Iran because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate. He's weak and he's ineffective. So the only way he figures that he's going to get reelected and as sure as you're sitting there is to start a war with Iran. Well, speaking of starting a war to boost their re election prospects, what about starting a war to stop an election? We have Trump talking about that too. To holding an election in your country. Yes, of course we are open for election. Yes. We have to do safety in circumstances and a little bit we need to work in the parliament because during the war you can't have elections.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But we can, we can do security.

[Angela Yee]

We need maybe. How to say we need a truce. Yes. Everywhere in the battlefield, in the sky and the sea.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Angela Yee]

To make the possible for people to democratic, open, legal, legal elections. So let me just say three and a half years from now. So you mean if we happen to be in a war with somebody, no more elections. I think sadly that clip is Going to age very well. I miss the days when all my president lied about was having sexual relations with a woman, okay? It's only been about a year and Trump is sending your sons and daughters to war to topple foreign regimes. Look, man, I don't care if it's Iran, Iraq. Eyes tired, okay? Eyes tired of seeing tens of billions, hundreds of billions of dollars spent on war when they are. When people are struggling to make ends meet right here in America, okay? In the words of the late, great Tupac Shakur, they got money for war, but can't feed the poor. Not to mention we have to watch all these kids in other countries being killed, okay? A bombing of an Iran primary school killed 115 girls. I don't care where life is lost, okay? I don't like it because when I hear stories about a certain school being bombed and kids losing their life, all I think about is my kids. Can you imagine being a parent and getting that kind of news? I don't live in the same country as a. I don't have to live in a. Live in the same country as a person to have empathy for their situation. Not to mention Trump is putting our troops in danger. Imagine being a military officer who voted for Trump because you were tired of going overseas to fight wars. You bought into him saying he's the anti war president and, you know, listen, I'll even shoot you some bail. In Trump's first term, he didn't start any new large scale ground wars. This is true. He also made a deal with the Taliban in 2020 to withdraw US forces from Afghanistan. So I can see why you would believe him when he said he was the anti war president and he wouldn't start any new wars. But gotcha, okay? Imagine buying into that and now, boom, you off to Iran. Not to mention all the people who feel like we are only going into Iran because Trump is BB Netanyahu's bitch. Okay? This is all I've been hearing all weekend. That's all I've been hearing people say. Jeremy Sachs, who is an American economist, said this. This has never been about nuclear weapons. This has been about Israel's regional hegemony in the Middle East. Israel wants to topple the Iranian regime, period. It has said so. This is not a mystery. This is not my claim. This is Israeli policy repeated year in, year out. The whole idea that Trump is negotiating to prevent Iran from getting a nuclear weapon, duh, that was negotiated. Trump ripped it up. The Iranians have come back every year to say, we don't want A nuclear weapon. We want negotiations. The United States does not accept yes for an answer because it works for the government of Israel. It may be because of what's in the Epstein files that haven't been released. It may be blackmail, it may be corruption. It may be many other things, but it is not about America's interests. Listen, if you are an American and you see us spending hundreds of billions of dollars on a war and someone tells you that war is only happening because another country wants you to do it, oh, you are pissed off this morning. Okay, the next reporters who interviewed Donald Trump need to ask him those two questions. President Trump, you said there will be no new wars. What changed? And are you doing this because you are beholden to BB Netanyahu and the Israeli government? I need those two questions asked. But it won't matter what the answer is because the response will be a lie. Okay? Operation Epic Fury is destined to be Operation Epic Fail. Listen, man, everyone who voted for Trump, it's okay to say, you got conned, he got you. I am not judging you. You know why? Because sadly, we are in this together. Okay? I know it sounds good to say, you know, that's your president. No, he's our president. He's the President of the United States of America. And what he does impacts us all. And it's going to take all of us, okay, we the people, to clean up whatever mess he leaves. So I'm not judging you for your vote, okay? Elections have consequences. And the consequences are clearly speaking for themselves. But I will start judging those of you who can't admit you got it wrong. Because the moment you admit you were fooled is the moment you stop being one. Please give Donald J. Trump the biggest he hul.

[DJ Envy]

Well, let's open up these phone lines, man. Let's have a discussion. How you guys feeling out there? 800-585-1051. How are you feeling?

You ever wonder how far an EV can take you on one charge. Well, most people drive about 40 miles a day, which means you can do all daily stuff no problem. Go to work, grab the kids at school, get the groceries and still have enough charge to visit your in laws in the next county. But they don't need to know that. And the best part, you won't have to buy gas at all. The way forward is electric. Explore EVs that fit your life at electricforall.org

So we're just opening up the phone lines, just getting your thoughts. How you feeling out there this morning? 800-585-1051. Hello, who's this?

Oh, this is Kelly. Good morning everybody.

[DJ Envy]

Where you calling from the D. What up Doe? Talk to us. What's your thoughts, mama?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Okay, so I'm pissed that we are only 13% of the population and we

[Angela Yee]

getting most of the smoke.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I'm pissed that where getting a passport

[Angela Yee]

felt like a rite of passage and

[Charlamagne Tha God]

an accomplishment and now it's we have

[Angela Yee]

to get it under the guise of we needed to vote.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm pissed that I have a 15

[Lauren LaRosa]

year old that I'm trying to get

[Charlamagne Tha God]

to adulthood and all of the craziness

[Angela Yee]

that this fool is putting out there makes me question whether she gonna get there. I'm pissed that I don't know whether

[Charlamagne Tha God]

when my grandson becomes of college age, whether there's gonna be a college available

[Angela Yee]

for him to go to.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm pissed that the dream that my daughter has of going to an HBCU is compromised now.

[Angela Yee]

I'm pissed, man, that need to be on Def Poetry Jam. That was crazy.

[DJ Envy]

But you write, you right on all those.

[Angela Yee]

I'm so frustrated and I'm trying as an adult, as a mother to give. My three boys are older, they're grown,

[Lauren LaRosa]

they're living their life.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But I have my last child and

[Angela Yee]

I'm trying to keep her in a

[Charlamagne Tha God]

happy state of mind by involving her in all types of things that make her happy. But I'm over here on the side stressing as a 53 year old adult, I've lived my whole life not having to deal with this.

[Angela Yee]

And now because the majority of America

[Charlamagne Tha God]

chose not to listen to us, I

[Angela Yee]

have to worry whether my 15 year

[Charlamagne Tha God]

old will have that same type of freedom when she gets older.

[Angela Yee]

We're gonna be all right, man.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We told y'.

[Angela Yee]

All. We know, we know God is in control. We're gonna be all right. Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

You know, not only that, Keely, it's also, you know, you think about it, you. You take your daughter to a basketball game, you know, you think you take your daughter to a concert, you take her to.

[Angela Yee]

God damn it. There you go. You can't handle you no more. God damn. Okay, we get it, Kelly.

[DJ Envy]

I'm nervous with you, Kelly.

[Angela Yee]

My God. And no, you just put it on her. You take your daughter to a game, you take your daughter to a. We all got to go places and be.

[DJ Envy]

I'm nervous too, Kelly.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, I. I appreciate that.

[Angela Yee]

But the one thing that keeps me

[Charlamagne Tha God]

grounded and it comes from my brother and he says at the end of the day, it is God's will and

[Angela Yee]

we have to become comfortable.

[Mimi Brown]

That's it.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, that's right.

[Angela Yee]

God is in control.

[DJ Envy]

Keely, give us all air hugs right now. Give me an air hug. I need an air hug right now.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I can tell.

[Angela Yee]

[DJ Envy]

I'm nervous. I'm nervous. I am nervous. I gotta get on a plane and do some traveling. I'm nervous.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Same.

[DJ Envy]

Thank you, Kelly.

[Angela Yee]

You're welcome. Can't live in fear. Faith and fear can't coexist.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, you're right. And then to be honest, I think our. I think it'll be like cyber. Will get his. Like cyber too.

[DJ Envy]

Take your money right out your account.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I just think, damn.

[Angela Yee]

But No, I meant. No, that's what he means. Jess. What are you talking about? Cyber. The hell are you talking about? You're just using big words like Drew, sky, and msnbc. It's cyber. No, no, I get what you're saying. It'll be cyber war.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, like, they take out your next callio.

[DJ Envy]

Hello? Who's this?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Holland. Hey. This is Tay.

[DJ Envy]

Hey, Tay.

[Angela Yee]

Good morning.

[DJ Envy]

Talk to us. How you feeling, Tay?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Good morning. I feel like it's a shame that we got to go through all of this. Like, I feel like everything that they're doing, like, the government, is a test

[Lauren LaRosa]

to see how much they can get away with.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like, we. The Instagram files, like, everything that they're

[Lauren LaRosa]

releasing, and it's just crazy because we

[Charlamagne Tha God]

already have so much to go through.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Like, as Americans, we got.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Got all of this on our plate, so you have to worry about going to war. Like, it's. It's crazy.

[Angela Yee]

Yes, it is.

[DJ Envy]

Thank you, T. All right, well, let's go to the phone lines. Just asking what your thoughts are. Hello? Who's this?

[Angela Yee]

Yo, this field.

[DJ Envy]

Hey, brother, talk to us. How you feeling, brother?

[Angela Yee]

I mean, I feel like it's. It's a sad situation we in. Yo, if. If we put troops on the ground over there, the age group is gonna, you know, feel it. The worst is, like, 19 to 24. How old are you? I'm 37. Oh, you just. You just passed draft eligibility, I think. I think it ends at 36.

[DJ Envy]

That old? No, I think younger than that.

[Angela Yee]

I served, and. And I came up on orders to go to Afghanistan at 19 years old, so. So this. This age group here, man, nine times out of ten, they really don't even know what a war is about. Yeah, you're right. It was 26.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, 26. 18 to 25.

[Angela Yee]

They say, actually that you serve. Thank you for your service, though, brother. I appreciate it, bro. How did you feel when you got. When they drafted you? And, well, not drafted you, but when you had to go in when you were 19, it was time to make kind of what exit. I got out.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You weren't afraid?

[Lauren LaRosa]

You weren't scared?

[Angela Yee]

Oh, got you, got you, got you. Yeah, I ain't want to go over there and they killing each other over there. Imagine what they'll do to us.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah,

[DJ Envy]

thank you, brother.

[Angela Yee]

We just naturally funny for no reason, because he right. Everything he said is absolutely right. Okay, you know what?

[DJ Envy]

What? I didn't think about it. And Mimi's here, so maybe Mimi can. Correct me if I don't know, but I thought ROTC was the program that students use sometimes to help them pay for college, but they would also have to train. A lot of times those ROT students don't ever think that we're going to war. So those students turn up Mimi's mic. Those students might possibly have to go to war. Is that correct?

[Mimi Brown]

So the ROTC program, they have them in high schools, college. Of course they have college. They, they usually, like you said, they train you so that you are ready for war. And then you can go to schools like West Point.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Right.

[Mimi Brown]

From schools like that where you know, you have the option of definitely being drafted. So to your point, yes.

[Angela Yee]

But wouldn't they have to join the military first though? You don't go for no rotc. Just the wall does that screen.

[DJ Envy]

Same thing if you're getting drafted, you just don't go to war. They put you in training. But a lot of times ROTC people, they, you know, they get their, their schools paid for. There's so many different benefits at a

[Mimi Brown]

higher level too once you start. If you go to rotc.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Go ahead.

[Mimi Brown]

What do you say?

[Angela Yee]

I'm saying ROTC is not the military. Like you got to join the military.

[DJ Envy]

You train for military though, in rotc.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Damn.

[Angela Yee]

That's crazy.

[DJ Envy]

No, you're not part of the military. But if, if there is a draft, you get called up faster than the regular. Yes, that's, that's. That.

[Angela Yee]

That's what?

[DJ Envy]

To my knowledge, I thought if you,

[Mimi Brown]

if you get trained, I mean, you get trained. I don't know what, what's the second part of that, what you said?

[DJ Envy]

I thought you are, you're on call for rotc.

[Mimi Brown]

We don't have a draft on call for it. I think you, it's like.

[DJ Envy]

But it's just not drafted. You're on.

[Angela Yee]

You don't have a draft.

[DJ Envy]

No, no, there is no draft. But I, if I believe correctly, ROTC is your own call. You do ROTC cuz you do train. And if you ever, if there is a war, you can be called upon to go.

[Angela Yee]

You just call ROTC class classes to decrease people dropping out people like what?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah,

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I thought JROTC was a class that just paid, you know, J. Rotc. What? No, J. It's jrotc.

[Angela Yee]

That's Junior manc.

[Mimi Brown]

The same a field training program that prepares students for officer roles.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So it leads like discipline, like they learn.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Basically don't train for the war, y'.

[Angela Yee]

All.

[Mimi Brown]

And then if you do choose to go to war or to into the military, you have certain training already. Basically.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But you choose.

[Mimi Brown]

You can choose.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I thought it was just like a disciplinary in class, like, you know, and it was fun. It was fun, Yeah.

[Angela Yee]

I don't think you have no obligation to military service if you're in the ROTC because you're not part of the military.

[DJ Envy]

I'm not sure. I don't know. But I just. I don't know.

[Angela Yee]

Hello?

[DJ Envy]

Who's this?

[Angela Yee]

Good morning. My name is Tyronda.

[DJ Envy]

Hi, Tyronda.

[Angela Yee]

Tyronda, your parents didn't know what to do. They thought you was gonna be a boy. So they had Tyrone ready. And so when you came out of girl, he was like, okay, Tyrone, let's add a dud to Tyrone.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I know.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Tyronda.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Don't do that.

[Angela Yee]

Tyronda.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's Tyronda.

[DJ Envy]

Tyronda. Good morning.

[Angela Yee]

Good morning.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I was just calling to ask a prayer for my nephew.

[Angela Yee]

He's in the army, so they're waiting on the call to leave. God bless that young man. What's his name?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Absolutely.

[Angela Yee]

Jadarius. Darius. Where is he from? He's from Fort Myers, man. Man. We send a number of positive energy to Jaderis. I'm gonna be honest with you. I hope he don't get the call.

[DJ Envy]

I hope so, too.

[Angela Yee]

I know all of us is praying. Okay.

[DJ Envy]

Well, thank you, Mama.

[Angela Yee]

Thank you very much. Y' all have a good day.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Breakfast Club.

[Angela Yee]

All right. Tyrone. Tyrone. You have to call Tyrone

[DJ Envy]

back to what I want to say for rotc. So ROTC does pay for your school. They give you scholarships. And in exchange for the scholarship, you must serve as a commissioned officer in the military after graduation.

[Angela Yee]

So you gotta go. You gotta enroll in the military after graduation.

[DJ Envy]

Correct.

[Angela Yee]

Okay.

[Mimi Brown]

If you take the scholarship.

[DJ Envy]

Correct. But a lot. I know a lot of ROTC students. When I went to Hampton, they did it because we weren't in war and they could get college paid for for free. So they never thought that they would have to go to war. But there's a possibility.

[Angela Yee]

Surprise, surprise. What you mean, surprise?

[DJ Envy]

Oh, man. What's the moral of. Well, ain't no moral.

[Angela Yee]

What the story is. Let's just pray for the country, man. Like, you know, like I said during Donkey of the Day, a lot of times we like to say things like, oh, that's your president. Sadly, that's our president. And, you know, we all in this together, whether we want to be or not. And it's going to take all of us to clean up this mess that this man is causing.

[DJ Envy]

That's right. All right, well, we have the latest with Lauren coming up, so don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, Lauren.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Becoming a street f. Maybe she gets

[Angela Yee]

them from somebody that knows somebody. She gets the details.

[Lauren LaRosa]

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

[Angela Yee]

She be having the latest on this, the Latest with Lauren LaRosa. Sometimes you have facts. Sometimes you have details. Sometimes you have a little bit of everything. Well, it's the latest brought to you by Top Dog Law on the Breakfast Club. Talk to me.

[Lauren LaRosa]

All right, guys, so before we get to Shia LaBeouf, I wanted to make sure that we shouted out Nipsey Hussle, Hustle and Marathon Burger. So I know earlier in Front Page News, Mimi Brown talked about the street naming that happened, but they also opened that Marathon Burger in Long beach in partnership with Snoop Dogg and his family over the weekend as well, too. This is their third location in la. And I saw Black Sam, who's Nipsey Hussle's brother, say that they are also going to be opening a location in New York, which will be their first location outside of California. And it's going to be in Times Square. He said it's already locked in.

[Angela Yee]

I sent the Black Sam seen a

[DJ Envy]

video of Stevie Wonder?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yes.

[DJ Envy]

At the marathon.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Stevie Wonder was in the building. Okay. He was there. He was seated. Him and Black Sam had a moment. Black Sam was so excited about it. He posted a video of him greeting Stevie Wonder. YG was there. Of course. Lauren London pulled up.

[Angela Yee]

Stevie thought he was at in and out.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, they had a great. There was a lot of people there. So congratulations to them on that new location.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah. Salute to the good brother. Black Sam dropping the clues bombs for Black Sam, Marathon Burger, Lauren London, so the whole family.

[Lauren LaRosa]

And now taking it to New Orleans. So Shia LaBeouf. You guys remember we talked about his February 17th arrest at Mardi Gras down in New Orleans, right? He had a time. Well, he is speaking out about it now. He sat down for an interview with Channel 5 with Andrew Callahan. It's like, you know, kind of like they do real interviews, but it's like parody. This is the same platform that did that Hunter Biden interview. Let's take a listen to Shia LaBeouf on how that that fight started.

[Angela Yee]

Hilarious. I don't think I have a drinking problem. I think I have a different problem. What's that problem? I think I have a small man complex. Some kind of Napoleonic. I don't know what it is. I think it's something that has to do with anger and ego. More so Than my drinking. What kind of things set off that anger? I'll be honest with you. Big gay people are scary to me. When I'm like, standing by myself and three gay dudes are next to me touching my leg, I get scared. I'm sorry, if that's homophobic, then. Then I'm.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That.

[Angela Yee]

Does that happen a lot? No, it just happened one time recently. Well, that's why I'm got arrested. Okay. Yeah. So you were sort of being groped and surrounded. I'm not going to say that because my lawyer said. Oh, dude, it's okay. It's okay.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's okay.

[DJ Envy]

We can.

[Angela Yee]

No, I. I am wrong for touching anyone ever. And that's the end of my statement on this one. What is he scared of exactly? Is he scared that he gonna get bricked up and want to put his. His in the mouth of one of them? Like, I don't understand.

[Lauren LaRosa]

They say he touched his leg.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah, like three of them.

[Lauren LaRosa]

That's a sexual assault.

[Angela Yee]

But that's different. That's not what he said at first. He just said he liked to be afraid. Big gay men just make him scared. What is he scared of?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yo, they touched him.

[Lauren LaRosa]

He probably wasn't skin.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So when I'm touched him and he looked up like, oh, you know what I'm saying?

[Angela Yee]

Well, that's different. Say that, but don't just say you afraid of them. Just because that makes me think that you afraid you're gonna get bricked up and want to do something.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, right now, the guy. No, no. If you big and gay, like, you know what I'm saying? Like a wrestler and you surround somebody and grope them. What do you mean?

[Lauren LaRosa]

I mean, you could be not gay

[Angela Yee]

around me. I'm scared.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But what made them gay is that they touched his leg, all three of them at one.

[DJ Envy]

That's not what made him gay, but that's what he's mad about.

[Angela Yee]

Give me some more of this conversation. I watched this thoroughly.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I enjoyed everybody last Thursday that there was a judge in New Orleans that set a bail for Shia label for a hundred thousand dollars and ordered him to undergo drug tests and enroll in a substance abuse program. And then there was this video of him just running out the courthouse. And now we know how the him being released from jail happened. Kind of. Let's take a listen.

[Angela Yee]

Is the court like keeping you here? Yeah, I gotta stay. Oh, no, I'm on bond.

[DJ Envy]

So you're out on bail?

[Angela Yee]

I don't know what it is. They told me I'm on bond. Yeah, It's. You're on bill. Okay, then you said it. And then I gotta take my shotgun in there in the morning. Can't have a gun, can't be on drugs, can't be in no around and can't leave the country. How much was the bomb? I don't know. I have no idea. What happened? Did somebody bail you out? I have no idea, bro. I haven't. I know Thundercat tried to get it going. Steven and me are very close. Cudi did the same thing. So I had these assistants. I didn't know these names of these people, but they showed up at the court of the jail trying to get me out. And then the. The bailiff or the jailer was like, hey, do you know Stacy or Shirley? And I didn't know none of these people. So she said, should I just tell them to go? She did. And then I just left on my own. I don't know who paid for what, bro. There's a lot of clout chasing going on in this. You know what I mean? I thought he father did something, so he.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So during this, reportedly during his split from his exchange wife or however they labeling it, he went to New Orleans to be closer to family. His dad lives there, but there were reports that he brought a home there. So I. I don't know. But they're probably just making sure he stays there because he has to finish everything with court. And there's been a lot going on going.

[DJ Envy]

So he doesn't know who bailed him out or nothing.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He just. He don't know nothing.

[DJ Envy]

You could be released and he ran out.

[Angela Yee]

I thought this interview was satire at first. I thought he was playing. I really did.

[Lauren LaRosa]

It's crazy, though, because the channel.

[DJ Envy]

This.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The. He's always been like this.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yes, but the. The YouTube channel is kind of like. I feel like they do kind of give satire. But it's a serious interview. Like, he was dead serious in this interview. He was explaining, like his breakup or lack thereof or whatever he was going

[Angela Yee]

into part when he said he spoke to Kendrick Lamar, which I do not believe. I believe that's just a complete.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Damn.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I don't know if we have that part. Let me see. Let me touch.

[Angela Yee]

Of course.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Don't, don't, don't. That was all he said about the game.

[Angela Yee]

No, it wasn't.

[Lauren LaRosa]

What else he say?

[Angela Yee]

Oh, my God.

[Lauren LaRosa]

What else he say?

[Angela Yee]

I'm not telling you. I don't want to say it because I don't want to repeat it unless it's played

[Lauren LaRosa]

with the gay. Okay. Go ahead.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But who was. Shirley, who was the. The people.

[Lauren LaRosa]

He was saying that he doesn't know exactly who they are, but they were potential assistants of either Kid Cudi or Thundercat. People that were seeing what was happening. I was just trying to make. Make sure he's cool.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Bail him out.

[DJ Envy]

Yes.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

They came to, you know, Shirley, and

[Angela Yee]

the fact that he volunteered to do that interview is what makes it actually more hilarious. That's crazy. You didn't have to say anything. No, I know his lawyer is somewhere right now saying, you didn't have to say anything. You do know that, right?

[DJ Envy]

The fact that he scared about big gay men is crazy.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Okay, I see what you're talking about with Kendrick.

[Angela Yee]

Big gay action figure.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, I didn't know where you was going. Brock Lesnar and, like, Stone Cold Steve Austin. They surround you, Envy, and all three of them just grab your. Your leg, and they just stay rising up your leg, and then what you gonna do?

[Angela Yee]

I wouldn't be up. I wouldn't be scared because they're gay. I'd be scared because they're three intimidating looking figures. And I'd be like, why are these three surrounding me?

[DJ Envy]

Because he gonna be nervous.

[Angela Yee]

My mind would not. Not be thinking, oh, I'm about. They about to sexually assault me.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You don't think they about to tear you apart?

[DJ Envy]

Three big dudes around me.

[Angela Yee]

I don't care if they're gay, if

[DJ Envy]

they straight, if they both or whatever.

[Angela Yee]

I'm like. I'm intimidated because I'm like, why y' all three surrounding me?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Oh, well, it was reported that he yelled out homophobic. Homophobic slurs. But within the fight. So, you know, and the judge even got down on him for that when they put the bell in. But yeah. All right, well, listen, if y' all need. If anything happens, if any big people come and it's an accident, big or small, call top dog law.

[DJ Envy]

All right, that's right. There you have it. All right, well, when we come back, we got the mix. We're gonna play some meth in the mix this morning. Today's Method Man.

[Angela Yee]

after the Big Game.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like most people, I kept thinking about the commercials and there was one that stayed with me.

[Angela Yee]

It was from the Blue Square Alliance

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Against Hate and it wasn't loud or flashy.

[Angela Yee]

It showed a Jewish kid being targeted at school and another student who chose

[Charlamagne Tha God]

not to ignore it. As someone who was Jewish, that moment felt very real to me.

[Angela Yee]

Not dramatic, just familiar. And what struck me was how clearly

[Charlamagne Tha God]

it showed that hate doesn't always announce

[Angela Yee]

itself, but the impact is still huge. If you saw the blue square spot

[Charlamagne Tha God]

during the big game, it's worth thinking about. And if you want to show support,

[Angela Yee]

sharing the blue square is one small

[Charlamagne Tha God]

way to do that.
