Mayor of Atlanta, Georgia, Andrew Young. He has a new documentary on MSNBC called Andrew Young the Dirty Work. Now, Andrew Young is a person who was a used to work closely with Martin Luther King, Jr. He was one of Martin Luther King Jr. Strategists. And it is so interesting when you sit down with these legends, these giants, these pillars in our community, because they actually lived the history we talked about.

Yep, I did.

[Jesse Larios]

What you watch Klay Thompson's team?

[DJ Envy]

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't think it's Klay Thompson's.

[Jesse Larios]

My husband was watching the game and I started watching.

[DJ Envy]

I was like, okay, he's watching Cooper flag.

[Andrew Young]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

When we got crazy last night.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Crazy. I can't wait to hear you mess up. Cooper Flag name. I know it's coming. I know you gonna drop the L. I know it. I can feel it in my soul.

[Caller/Listener]

It's gonna happen.

[DJ Envy]

The Knicks won last night. It was the season over there. They played pretty damn well today. They beat the Cavaliers. They look good last year.

[Jesse Larios]

You a Knicks fan?

[DJ Envy]

I am a Knicks fan.

[Jesse Larios]

Nice.

[DJ Envy]

All right. What's up, Mimi?

[Mimi Brown]

Good morning. MV Jeff Charlemagne. How y' all doing this morning? Good morning. All right, so we start this morning in Washington, where the government shutdown is now stretching into its 23rd day, marking the second longest shutdown in modern US history. Now, yesterday, the Senate voted once again to pass forward a bill to reopen the government, marking the 12th time that the bill failed. Now the measure, it failed 54 to 46 short of the 60 votes needed to move forward to three. Democrats crossed party lines to vote with Republicans. But it still wasn't enough to break the stale. The stalemate. So that vote came after a 22 hour marathon speech from Oregon Senator Jeff Berkley, who spoke throughout the night accusing President Trump of authoritarianism and urging Congress to act now with no deal in sight, Republican leaders are floating two ideas. Either change the Senate rules that make it hard to pass anything without 60 votes or come up with a plan B to break that stalemate. Now. Democrats, meanwhile, they say they will not budge on any plan that doesn't include health care subsidies. And at the White House, attention is turning from policy to Construction crews have started tearing down parts of the East Wing to make room for that new $300 million presidential ballroom, a major expansion from from what President Trump once called a small renovation. During a Senate luncheon, the president bragged about the project. Let's listen to that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You probably hear the beautiful sound of.

[Andrew Young]

Construction to the back. You hear that sound? Oh, that's music to my ears. I love that sound.

[DJ Envy]

Other people don't like it.

[Andrew Young]

I love it, Josh. I think when I hear that sound, it reminds me of money. In this case, it reminds me of lack of money because I'm paying for it. So it's the opposite.

[Mimi Brown]

Well, the administration says the project is privately being funded. But for nearly half of the American Charlemagne who haven't received a paycheck and may soon be losing access to food assistance to, they say the optics are striking again. We've been talking about this all week. Federal officials are warning that if the shutdown stretches into November, there may not be enough money to fund those food assistance programs. Several states are already sounding the alarm. In Georgia, the Atlanta Community Food bank says nearly 1.5 million people could be affected. In California, another 5 million people could see delays as early as next week. And in Detroit food banks, they say that if they lose snap, it would devastate the community because that's where nearly one in five people they rely on those SNAP benefits to afford groceries. And in New Jersey, families are being urged to use whatever benefits remain on their EBT cards right now because those funds may not be available after November 1st.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, you know, I'm an ambassador for the food bank in New York City in Harlem, and they are flooded. Like, you know, the Harlem food Pantry, they faced a record demand because of the shutdown. I think they said they've given out more than 7,000 food packages up since October 21st, well, up until October 21st. And they've logged 1,376 new clients just this month. That's the largest single month increase of the year because people are just anticipating losing the SNAP benefits.

[DJ Envy]

Wow.

[Mimi Brown]

Yeah. And while lawmakers in Washington can't seem to agree on the basics, another debate is now taking shape at the Supreme Court. It centers on a question that's raising eyebrows across the country. Can you smoke weed and still own a gun? That's the question before the court right now. The law currently says that if you use marijuana, even in a state where it's legal, you can't legally own a firearm. But that rule is now being challenged in a new case that the court just agreed to hear. It involves a Texas man who admitted to using marijuana regularly but said he wasn't high when federal agents found the gun inside of his home. A lower case, a lower court, they cited with him saying that occasional drug use doesn't take away, shouldn't take away someone's Second Amendment rights. The Justice Department, though, they disagreed, saying the law is meant to keep guns out of the hands of people who could be impaired or dangerous. They argue that similar restrictions have existed for centuries, even dating back to laws that kept habitual drinkers from carrying weapons. Now, the Supreme Court will hear arguments in the months ahead, and the decision could have major implications for millions of Americans, especially in states where marijuana is legal.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, I don't smoke weed. I eat it. Okay. Not to mention, shouldn't that apply to people who drink alcohol?

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, it doesn't make sense because if you drink alcohol, it's the same. You know, it can deter what you're doing as well. Yeah, it shouldn't. Yeah. It sounds so stupid, but, wow, that's where we are.

[Mimi Brown]

All right. And so coming up at 7, the company that redefined shopping may now be redefining for work work itself. I'm sorry, y' all may be redefining work, but we'll explain what's behind the biggest change and why it's sparking so much concern.

[DJ Envy]

All right, everybody else, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, phone lines are wide open again. 800-585-1051. Get it off your chest. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. This is your time to get it off your chest. Whether you're mad or blessed.

[Caller/Listener]

Hey, I just.

[Jesse Larios]

Charlemagne.

[Caller/Listener]

I just want to tell you that I appreciate you so much for that, you guys all for the interview with Coochimayne and his wife about the diagnosis. This thing hit my family so hard. My son, who went to. He has two degrees. He is. Oh, my gosh. He went to school to be a software engineer, and he has a degree in biology. And he was well on his way to living out his dream. And then all of a sudden, one day, his behavior started changing, and I had no idea what was going on. And it's still happening now, but it's not happening with the intensity that it once was before. But I'm still so very lost on what to do and how to continue to help him. He's on a keto diet, which helps so much. He's on all these vitamins that he takes every day, and that is really what's helping him. But he hasn't really got over that hump. And so. And I'm still working a full time job. I mean, it was so bad. My son literally was at the airport for 24 hours because his mind was telling him someone was coming, taking him to another country. So this thing is terrible. It is awful. It is the worst thing I've ever experienced in my life. And I'm sorry. I'm trying not to be emotional, but I just want to encourage families and anyone that is going through this to definitely be there for your children or whoever it is that is going through this, because it is so hard, understand why it's happening.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But you're right. Did you take them to a doctor or a mental health provider? You know?

[Caller/Listener]

Yes.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Okay, good.

[Caller/Listener]

And he. He went to one. One company, one healthcare facility. All they want to do is just prescribe medicine. They don't really want to get to what the root of the issue is. And so I've been working with this lady called Nicole Laurent.

[Mimi Brown]

I don't.

[Caller/Listener]

If you guys want to look her up, she has a program, and it's this entire keto program that it's, like, medically induced keto. So once your body gets in that high levels of keto, then it actually can reverse some of the issues going on in the brain. So Keisha didn't speak on that. I'm not sure if that's something that Gucci was doing, but exercise, definitely. And vitamins are so important, like the Omega 3s and the. Oh, gosh, she's taking so many. The vitamin D3 with K2. It's just so many different vitamins that they need to be on serotonin, lion's mane. I mean, stuff for inflammation, like cinnamon for inflammation. It's so many different, like, natural things that you can do. But it's like, this thing really needs to get out there. And I'm with you, Charlamagne with. It's not enough information out there with people that are actually their caretakers or that are helping them, because I was the victim of so much rage and anger, and I kept going, why? Why is my son talking to me like this? We never had this relationship, but like Keisha said, it's not them.

[Mimi Brown]

It's.

[Caller/Listener]

It's not the person that you know and love that is something different. And it's just so hard. So I just wish there was more information out there. Something, someone. I don't know who can do what. But we really need that support. For some days, we just wake up just defeated and drained, because especially if you raise your kids right, you're like, what? What did I do wrong? Where did I go wrong?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Caller/Listener]

Turn it on herself.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah. I think it's a lot of information out there, what I think it is. It's not a lot of people like yourself and Keisha telling their story. You know, that's something we started doing at the Mental well festival a couple years ago, because I think it was Corey Miner Smith. Corey Miner Smith was the person who brought it to our attention about, you know. You know, talking to the people who actually have to deal with the individuals who have mental health issues.

[DJ Envy]

And thank you for sharing your story, mama. Appreciate it. Hello, who's this?

[John O'Brien]

Thing.

[Jesse Larios]

That's right.

As a proud Dominica myself, I'm proud to call DJ Envy Dominican. Listen, I am just excited because to know that, you know, you're going to Dominica, especially for the first time. I want you to have the time of your life. I want you to go like. Like Jess said, go down to the Indian River. That's in Portsmouth area. That's where I'm from.

[Caller/Listener]

That's the other thing.

[Jesse Larios]

Oh, wow.

[DJ Envy]

But I'm excited, man. I'm going there this Saturday. Where should I get. Where should I go eat? What's a good place to get some food?

[Caller/Listener]

Places to get some food. Like, if you just go down to Portsmouth, there's a place called. And you can get some great fish over there.

[DJ Envy]

All right, that's good.

[Jesse Larios]

But he do got to be careful because y' all got the highest density of volcanoes, right?

[Caller/Listener]

Oh, listen, them things haven't erupted in a long time, man. Who cares about that? We just now.

[Jesse Larios]

Who cares about it? Somebody from New York who want to be Dominican.

[DJ Envy]

I'm Dominica.

[Jesse Larios]

Oh, Dominican. Yes, you're right.

[Caller/Listener]

Exactly. Get it straight. Not Dominican.

[DJ Envy]

I'm excited to go this Saturday. I got a lot of people that's been hitting me. I want to see where my family's from. So I'm gonna go see where my family's from because they said they got some family land out there. I just want to go see. I just want to go touch the soil and see.

[Jesse Larios]

Thank you, sir, for calling and inviting him.

[Caller/Listener]

Welcome, Jess. Welcome, Jess. Yeah, and you guys should take a trip to one day.

[Jesse Larios]

Absolutely.

[DJ Envy]

I'll let them know how it is first.

[Jesse Larios]

Please let us know.

[DJ Envy]

Thank you, sir. Get it off your chest. 800-585-105. What you want to say? What you gonna say?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Okay, lambskin. Yes. Okay, lambskin. What's up, lambskin?

[Lauren LaRosa]

I'm warm today.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It ain't even that cold.

[Jesse Larios]

I'm glad she did look, I told her, don't come here with her stomach all out. So she gonna get some stomach.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Got a little Lauren, had a little lamb. Put it on her jacket.

[DJ Envy]

We got the ladies with Lauren. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I couldn't.

[John O'Brien]

I'm sorry.

[Jesse Larios]

That is so sad.

[Ashley Nicole Moss]

All right.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, we do. We got the latest alarm coming up. I heard the caller earlier talking about, you know, the struggles of someone who is like, the caretaker or family member of people with mental health issues. Well, Nicki Minaj was on Spaces last night, and she was sounding off about Keisha Kor and she felt like the interview was too much about her.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It was not about her at all. I don't even know why we entertaining. This was the conversation was not about.

[Jesse Larios]

Her and did so we could talk about.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's crazy.

[DJ Envy]

I mean, I think you should have teased about Diddy getting poked in jail.

[Andrew Young]

What?

[Lauren LaRosa]

I. I was told that he didn't get poked like that. Like, not. Not that woke up.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Somebody had his throat.

[DJ Envy]

No, something was to his throat, though.

[Lauren LaRosa]

All of this in the first hour of the latest.

[DJ Envy]

All right, we'll get to that next. Oh, my God. We'll get to it next. It's the Breakfast slogan. The Breakfast Club.

[Jesse Larios]

Lauren becoming a straight fat.

[DJ Envy]

She gets them from somebody that knows somebody.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She gets the details.

[Lauren LaRosa]

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

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She be having the latest on this.

[DJ Envy]

The Latest with Lauren LaRosa.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Sometimes she has facts, sometimes she had details. Sometimes she have a little bit on the Breakfast Club.

[John O'Brien]

Yes.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You did a pre recorded intro for a live segment.

[Jesse Larios]

Oh, my God. Shut up. Telling them all the tricks. We got some things.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Let's go.

[DJ Envy]

They did that because of time to make sure we was timing. The timing was right.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yes, yes. So last night, Nicki Minaj spoke out about the Gucci man and Keisha K or interview that we did up here. And I know that we've covered her tweets on it, but last night was a little bit more in depth. She went live on Twitter, Spaces, and she talked about how she felt like Keisha Kor thrusted herself to the front of that interview. So she says that it was a basically a setup for us to just talk to Keisha Kor, not Gucci man. Let's take a listen to Nicki Minaj number one.

[DJ Envy]

Oh, my goodness.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Why would you have had to decide if you was still gonna do a show? Cause you got bit by a beat. Is you. Who the you you think we was born yesterday dumb. You see how you just revealed that the show was to talk to you. You see how you just revealed that it was not about Gucci mane, you silly. And Ms. Deb said she want to get in on the mother action too. But I said we trying to be nice. Since when if somebody's spouse I use that term loosely depending on certain things gotta do the show. If you had a allergic reaction, why you didn't do your mother self a mother and us and sit the outside. You are that insecure about your aging face that you have lied to millions of people and said she got bit by a pill some that she had allergic reaction.

[Jesse Larios]

Notice she ain't say that prior to.

[Lauren LaRosa]

That footage coming out. Like she didn't wake up that morning and say oh my God y', all, I got this thing by a bee. Well I got allergic reactionee bloody. It was when the footage came out that she's seen her filter didn't come with her outside that day.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I have no idea why we entertaining this. Like what is what what?

[Jesse Larios]

I don't even know what she's talking about.

[DJ Envy]

Nikki would be amazing on Broadway. But yeah, yeah. First of all, we didn't even know.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

What amazing. Yeah, we didn't even know Keisha came.

[Ashley Nicole Moss]

[DJ Envy]

Ko was coming until she actually got.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Into the explaining this, bro.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Bless Nikki's heart. We sending Nikki healing energy.

[DJ Envy]

I just want to put up the facts out there, because people believe things if they don't hear the facts. And the facts is we did not know Keisha Ko was here. She pulled up up with Gucci and her husband.

[Jesse Larios]

When is she not with her husband? It ain't even that. Like, she's with him everywhere.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Did y' all read the book Episodes?

[Jesse Larios]

Yes, I'm reading the book now. I'm on chapter six.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The book is absolutely about Gucci and his manic episodes, and it's about the person who is the closest to him. Keisha kr. Who also had to live through those episodes.

[DJ Envy]

Correct.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What are we talking about?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, well, yes. And I don't even understand how she's.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Making this about her, but God bless her heart, we send in Nicki Minaj healing energy.

[Jesse Larios]

But even outside of her being a big part of the book, because she's her husband's saving grace. She always with him.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah.

[Jesse Larios]

It's her husband. It's hard to not see Keisha Ko when you see Gucci Mane.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And I'm glad Keisha was in the interview because nobody ever talks to the individuals who have to deal with the people who have mental illness.

[Andrew Young]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Not only that, she was able to break it down, what she happened, what she saw. She was able to help people who are dealing with family members who have mental illness. And the signs to see. I thought that was dope and amazing. So.

[Jesse Larios]

And we always see Kenneth with Nikki all the time. He'll be saying nothing. He always, you know, sitting off to the side. But we always. We always see them together. It's like, what's the problem?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Well, Nikki talked about for a second.

[Jesse Larios]

It'S the problem that she was with her husband.

[John O'Brien]

I don't get it.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Well, yeah, so Nikki did mention her husband on the spaces. She also talked a bit about. She says that the reason why Keisha K. Or was interviewed in the interview and made it a priority to be in the interview is not because of any of the reasons you guys just said, but because Keisha Kor is a narcissist and the X faces actually got interrupted by her son. Let's take a listen to number two. The B is so insecure at her face simply being her face. You see, not everyone ages like the generous queen. Because my light inside, my grace, my peace, my love, my paradox, my Conundrum, my truth, my generosity, my humility, my restraint, when I have the power to do so much damage and choose not to.

[Mimi Brown]

Now, I'm no psychology major. I don't know much about much, but.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Boy, boy, do narcissists sure have a way of pushing themselves to the front. By any means necessary. They will step on you. They will kick you.

[John O'Brien]

Wow.

[Lauren LaRosa]

It ends today. You do not honor Gucci.

[Jesse Larios]

Come on, papa. Wait a baby.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Isn't that the pot calling the blueprint pink? Like, what you mean she's making this about her? Okay, listen, someone needs to read that Gucci man book episodes and learn something from it, okay? And intervene in this life that Nicki Minaj is living.

[DJ Envy]

Yo.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Because this is ridiculous.

[DJ Envy]

Side note, Nicki would kill voiceovers. What? Now, I'm not even joking. Like, could you. Like, when she was. I closed my eyes and I was listening to scary movies, and just what she was saying, I was like, she would kill voice. Not like, on the side. No, Nikki's. She could spit, she could rap.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But, Jesus, why are we still. Why are we entertaining?

[Ashley Nicole Moss]

I'm sorry.

[Lauren LaRosa]

We can move on now. I have one more. We can move on. Because, you know, in other news, other New York news, Diddy almost lost his life behind bars. This was revealed by. In court by Brian still, his attorney. Yeah, somebody tried to attempted to stab him in his throat. So in court, we found this out when they were trying to basically make the plea that, you know, Diddy is going to be in danger behind bars. But his friend Charlucci, who I know one time we had talked about, like, who comes with the family, there's always a guy named Charlucci Finney with his family, making sure his kids are good and, you know, all the things got.

[DJ Envy]

Outside the courtroom with the Diddy shirt on.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah. So he spoke to Daily Mail once, that became news, and kind of not even kind of, he detailed more of what happened. So he said the inmate snuck into Diddy's jail cell and could have murdered him. He said Diddy woke up with a knife to his throat. And he says that this was unreported, even though it was a close call and it was super violent because Diddy kind of. He didn't want it to be, like, a big thing. Now, Charlucci says he doesn't know if Diddy fought him off or the guards came in. He just knows that it happens. And they also say if this guy wanted to harm him, Diddy would have been harmed. It would only have took a second to cut his throat with the weapon and killed him. So it was probably a way to say, next time you're not going to be so lucky. Everything is intimidation. But with Diddy, it didn't work because Diddy's from Harlem. Now again, Diddy's.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Some goddamn university. What him being from Harlem got to do with anything?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, said that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Nobody actually said that.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, the. It's a quote from his friend.

[DJ Envy]

I was. I was feeling the quote until he said he has these special powers.

[Lauren LaRosa]

He just means, you know, he been through some things.

[Jesse Larios]

You know what I mean?

[Lauren LaRosa]

He don't scare easily.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What you just said is a great point. They talk about Harlem like it's Harvard or Wakanda.

[John O'Brien]

Absolutely.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like it's some mystical place. What the.

[Jesse Larios]

In prison, it don't matter where the hell you from.

[DJ Envy]

He had me until he had the Harlem.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

They almost got him, but he from Harlem. What are we talking about?

[DJ Envy]

No, it's sad. I mean, we could joke all day long about Diddy because some of these things are funny, but, you know, it's to the point now there's no way that they should be sneaking into his jail cell and get that close to him. Right?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah. That is horrible.

[DJ Envy]

That is crazy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But it is prison, and those are the horrors of prison. You can wake up with all types of stuff at your throat. I'm just shocked that Diddy. You can wake up with all types.

[DJ Envy]

Of things in your throat.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I didn't say that.

[DJ Envy]

Yes, you did say that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm just shocked that Diddy doesn't have more supervision. I would think because he's such a.

[DJ Envy]

High profile, I would think the same.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Such a short sentence. He would have a lot more supervision around it.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Well, I did ask, you know, since I've been asking since this came up in court, like, what happens next now? Like, how. What do you guys request supervision wise and wherever he's going to end up. And I mean, of course, they not. They don't want to answer that because they don't want that to be a broadcasted thing. But, you know, after hearing something like this, if you're BoP, you have to take a lot of things into consideration. The Bureau of Prisons, like, the people that make the decisions of, like, where you're going, what the security is going to look like. They work with the.

[Andrew Young]

I don't know.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You just said bop like I went to hell. I'm like, what?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Bob got mad.

[DJ Envy]

What's going on with the appeal? Did we get any update on the appeal?

[Lauren LaRosa]

No, nothing yet. Nothing on the appeal yet. The last thing I heard was four to six weeks. That was it.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, because you mean the.

[Lauren LaRosa]

With the Trump stuff.

[DJ Envy]

No, no, no. Because they said they were going to file appeal on the sentences. I was just curious if there's any updates. But yeah, after the first incident where they say Diddy almost got into a fight. Fight, he had like Charlemagne said he should be under supervision like crazy. They should make sure he's safe because it would be crazy to see somebody like a Diddy or anybody in jail get hurt or, or killed after. This is the second time now, you know, and like you said, this is. Yeah, he doesn't have a long bid. This is. It's a smaller bid, but still, it seems crazy.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah. I mean, so we'll. I mean, I was gonna say we'll find out kind of what that looks like security wise, but I don't think they'll even disclose it. You know what I mean? Because of the high profile, how high profile the case is. We'll just figure out where he's going and kind of what the security measures will be as far as with generally what the court has. But the White House did respond to me. I asked him about that report that said that Trump is backing away from this now. Like, you don't want nothing to do with it because of maga. And they just pointed me to that original statement that no White House official can give any updates. This is a decision up to Trump. And as of right now, that's not even a conversation.

[DJ Envy]

Okay. All right, well, that is the latest with Lauren. And could you imagine? Diddy's mental right now. There's no way. Did he sleep in jail.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, it's prison, bro.

[John O'Brien]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

There's no way he's sleeping.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Those are the horrors of prison.

[DJ Envy]

The second time. There's no way he sleeps. Sleeping.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah. And I was reading this report by this guy who's like a legal analyst, and they were talking about how, like, celebrities are higher stake. I mean, it always depends on your crime, too, but celebrities and people of like, financial influencers are always of higher stake in bars.

[DJ Envy]

All right.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Behind bars. I'm sorry.

[DJ Envy]

All right, when we come back, we got front page news and we'll talk to Mimi next. I don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get back in some front page news. Start off with NFL Thursday Night Football. The the Minnesota Vikings take on the charges tonight at 8:15pm Also last night, did any of you watch the NBA games.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I watched Wimby drop 40 when we.

[DJ Envy]

Got busy last night. He beat the Mavericks.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm lying. I ain't watching.

[DJ Envy]

But I heard about it. He was going crazy. Cooper flag scored 10 points in rebounds. AD was getting busy last night. It was a great game. The Knicks looked amazing last night.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

If Kyrie come back healthy, the Mavs gonna be good. Yeah, Knicks gonna be real good, too.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, Knicks look really, really, really good. So salute to the Knicks last night. But what's up, mimi?

[Mimi Brown]

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

[Jesse Larios]

Hey, girl.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We highly favored. How are you, Mimi?

[Mimi Brown]

I'm good, thank you. All right, well, we start this hour in New York City, where the gloves came off in the second and final mayoral debate last night. Democrat Zoran Mandani, former Governor Andrew Cuomo, and Republican Curtis Lewal, they went head to head less than two weeks before Election Day, debating everything from crime to housing to immigration. And from the start, things got heated. Now the three sparred over experience, leadership, and who's best to run the city. Take a listen.

[DJ Envy]

You have never had a job. You've never accomplished anything. There's no reason to believe you have.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Any merit OR qualification for 8.5 million lives. You don't know how to run a government.

[DJ Envy]

You don't know how to handle an emergency. And you've literally never proposed a bill, and you never showed up for work, and you missed 80% of the vote. We just had a former governor say in his own words that the city has been getting screwed by the state. Who was leading the state? It was you, Governor.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Holler.

[Andrew Young]

Screwing this. Heard the both of them again, fighting.

[DJ Envy]

Like kids in the schoolyard.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Zoran, your resume could fit on a cocktail napkin. And, Andrew, your failures could fill a.

[DJ Envy]

Public school library in New York City.

[Jesse Larios]

Damn. Your resume could fit on a cocktail napkin.

[DJ Envy]

Crazy. That was good. That was.

[Andrew Young]

That was a good one.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, that was good.

[Mimi Brown]

He came with the zingers all night. The debate then shifted to policy, with sharp divisions on crime, housing, and transit. On policing, all three candidates said they would keep Police Commissioner Jessica Tish if. If elected. They also found rare common ground, condemning the ICE raids in New York City, saying federal immigration agents should stay out of local policing. But the most intense exchange came when Mandani confronted Cuomo over the sexual abuse allegations that led to his resignation as governor. Let's take a listen to that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

In 2021, 13 different women who worked.

[DJ Envy]

In your administration credibly accused you of sexual harassment. Since then, you have spent more than $20 million in taxpayer funds to defend yourself. You have even gone so far as.

[Jesse Larios]

To legally go after these women.

[DJ Envy]

One of those women, Charlotte Bennett, is here in the audience this evening. You sought to access her private gynecological records. She cannot speak up for herself because you lodged a defamation case against her. I, however, can speak. What do you say to the 13 women that you sexually harassed? There were allegations of sexual harassment.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

They were then went to five district.

[DJ Envy]

Attorneys, fully litigated for four years.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The cases were dropped.

[DJ Envy]

You know that is a fact.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So everything you just stated, you just.

[DJ Envy]

Said was a misstatement.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm gonna tell y' all something. Ma', am, I said this before on Lara Trump show, but when it comes to campaign style, Mamdani has a lot of Trump in him. Okay? Number one, running on the message of affordability. Okay, the economy, he never moves off that message. Number two, keeping it America first in, in specifically New York City. And yesterday, bringing one of Cuomo's accusers to the debate, that was right out of Trump's playbook. Trump did that to Hillary Clinton. You know, when he bought Bill Clinton's accusers like that. He, he has taken the things that Trump has done in his campaign that actually are effective and applied them themselves. I think it's, he's ran a great campaign, bro.

[DJ Envy]

That's probably why Cuomo didn't answer questions after, because it was only Mandani and Sleepwear answered questions after. Cuomo got a battle dodge. They actually went to the Knicks game after. But yeah, he got a battery.

[Mimi Brown]

He was sitting with Eric Adams. Yep, yep. So early voting in New York, it begins on Saturday, October 25th. It runs through November 2nd. But election day is November 4th. The polls will be open from 6am to 9pm so you make sure you want to exercise your right to vote. And this morning we have an update on a case, the case of 23 year old nursing student Kada Scott. We talked about this earlier this week. She's a young woman whose disappearance gripped Philadelphia earlier this month. Now, the man previously charged with kidnapping her, 21 year old, Keon King, is now charged with murder. Police confirmed that the remains found in that shallow grave this past weekend belong to Scott. The medical examiner has ruled her death a homicide. And prosecutors have added a long list of new charges to King, including theft, tampering with evidence, abuse of a corpse, and obstruction of justice. Now, police say Scott was last seen October 4th leaving her overnight shift at a local nursing home. Investigators believe she met up with King shortly after leaving work. Days later, officers Found her remains behind an abandoned middle school in Germantown after receiving what they say was a very specific anonymous tip. Now, authorities say surveillance video shows two people leaving a vehicle and moving what appears to be a heavy object. Evidence that more than one person may have been involved. Let's listen to the police talk about that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Recovering Katie's body was not the outcome.

[DJ Envy]

We hoped for, but we are grateful.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That we were able to bring her home. We continue to pursue anyone who helped.

[DJ Envy]

Who concealed, who participated in this act. We will not stop.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I wish nothing but the worst for that young man.

[Mimi Brown]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I mean, I wish nothing but pain and a lifetime of heartache for that. For that. For that. For that man. I just don't even know what triggers a person to even want to do something like that to another individual.

[Mimi Brown]

Well, prosecutors say that he has a history of violence against women, including a separate kidnapping case earlier this year. Now, that case was dismissed when a witness didn't show up, but those charges have now been refiled, and Scott's family is thanking everyone for their. In the community, for their. For their prayers and their support. Meanwhile, King, he remains behind bars on a $2.5 million bail. A preliminary hearing has been set for November 3rd.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't understand why people like that don't have to register as, like, some type of offender. You tried to kidnap somebody before and you just out here walking around.

[Andrew Young]

Yeah.

[Jesse Larios]

And just because they didn't. Just because the witness didn't show up to court, like, you just free. You scot free. It don't make sense.

[Mimi Brown]

Yeah. So we will. We will continue to watch that and. And follow this story. All right, 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, Download the free iHeartRadio app or visit binnews.com.

[DJ Envy]

Yes, sir. Now, John O' Brien is here as well. JOHN O'. Brien. Good morning, sir.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Good morning.

[Mimi Brown]

Good morning.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Mr. Andrew Young has a new documentary out called the Dirty Work. Why was it important for you to tell this, this part of your story now?

[Andrew Young]

Well, is it. I'm telling my story and we see the glamour of the civil rights movement, and it was very glamorous. For every one or two you see on television, there were 500 to a thousand of us in the background doing the dirty work. And it's the way I got into it. I was actually up here in New York in 1957, 58, and Dr. King needed somebody to move with him to Atlanta. My wife was from Marion, Alabama, which was a little country town near Selma. And we saw the NBC documentary on John Lewis in a Nashville sit in story. We just bought a house out in Queens, and I was working up at the National Council of Churches. And when the documentary came on, my wife said, it's time for us to go home. I said, we are home. She said, no, this is New York. New York can't ever be my home. And I said, well, we just bought this house. We got a good job. She said, I'm going back to my mama in Alabama and I'm taking my children. And I said, well, what do you want me to do? She said, I want you to sell this house and find a job down south. It was the, the attraction of going back south that got me back in the movement. And it was in that transition. Martin Luther King had just been stabbed and he took in New York. He took a month off to go to India and was just coming back and planning to move from Montgomery to Atlanta. So I ended up getting pulled in to try to help him move. And that was, that was the dirty work. You, you. He needed to be in a bigger city than Montgomery and. But he couldn't afford to live in Atlanta except with his parents. And so he was trying to raise funds. He never had a million dollars a year to work with the entire time we had the movement going. And so I was trying to help him raise some funds and went to my church up here, the United Church of Christ, and asked them. They founded a number of colleges, Howard and Tbisk, Talladega, Tougaloo, all across the South. And so I said, you know, if you would let us use some of these properties or some of them, we could have a movement southwest in little or no time. And so I was sort of being a bridge between him making the transition to Montgomery and coming to Atlanta. I was then moved from Atlanta back to, I mean from New York back to Atlanta. And the first job I got, he was not there. His secretary said once, she said, my wife's in Alabama. She said, you can't be hanging around here loose. He said, idle mine is the devil's workshop. Whole lot of devils. And she said, you need something to do? I said, well, anything I can do to help. And she gave me a great big egg crate packed with lettuce. And so she said, if you can help Dr. King with his mail, that's really, if you want to get to know a company, if somebody's coming in here and wants to get to know it, answer the mail or at least read the mail. I know what's, what's happening around. And so it gave me, I mean, I ended up with a bucket of mail. And that was sort of the dirty work.

[John O'Brien]

So Charlemagne, when he also, when he went to go get the job, when he went down south, the staff didn't want him. Dr. King was out giving speeches and on the road, the staff didn't want him. He was smart, he was articulate. He was like, oh, we all the seats are taken. We all, we good. So he sent him packing. So he came back with a grant. The grant was self funded. It and it was for non violent education or something like that, but he funded a salary. So Dr. King said, okay, well, you can sit, you pay for it. You can sit right over here.

[Andrew Young]

Well, paid for it, huh? We not only paid for it, I brought access to all of those schools. Yes, they from in North Carolina, Kings Mountain, Georgia. It was Atlanta University.

[Caller/Listener]

Wow.

[Andrew Young]

Alabama was Tougaloo, Talladega, Talladega and Alabama and Tougaloo and Mississippi.

[John O'Brien]

But the key point of that in Bastion was again, you won't take credit for this. He became the one person nobody could fire so he could speak truth to power.

[Andrew Young]

Yeah, but we didn't fire anybody.

[John O'Brien]

Exactly. Because Dr. King didn't like conflict. If you let me finish my point.

[Andrew Young]

Yes, sir, doctor.

[John O'Brien]

He didn't like conflict, so he was a conflict manager. So he was the one inside. The staff left. You had crazy people on the left and crazy folks sort of over here trying to do revolutions. Dr. King didn't want conflict, so he would expect embassy young to knock heads. That's it. And when he came in, he wanted it to be resolved.

[Jesse Larios]

Yeah.

[John O'Brien]

And so he was a resolution manager inside the movement and outside the movement. Again, he doesn't take credit for it, but that. That really became one of his magic pieces was that he was in an independent thinker. Thinker just like you are. Just like all you guys are. Independent thinkers. Did I get that right?

[Andrew Young]

I guess. No. The thing is that. That I left Howard and I really. Well, I really up for three and a half years.

[Mimi Brown]

Damn.

[Andrew Young]

See, but I somehow got a degree. And why you say you was. Because I was playing around, wasn't studying. I was trying to make the swimming team. And so I was trying to get on the girls. And I wasn't making any progress at all, you know, from New Orleans. And I got along with people, but I was. I was trying to grow up. And when I got came left Howard and we stopped because you couldn't had no hotels that let you stay. We stopped at a Kings Mountain, North Carolina, where we had a church conference going on. And I decided to run up the mountain. Somewhere along there kind of blacked out. I looked around and everything seemed perfect. You know, it was a perfect sky, perfect corn field, little green trees were sparkling. And I said, damn, everything here has got a purpose. And. But me. And I said, I cannot be put here on this earth with no purpose at all. And how do I find a purpose? Well, what I came to was if there's something that I think needs doing and nobody wants to do it, that becomes my purpose. So I was looking for stuff that needed to be done that nobody wanted to do.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's such an interesting perspective when you talk about purpose too, John.

[Andrew Young]

Because in my mind.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Mind, you know, I always thought the purpose was the liberation of black people. But y' all was just looking for something, a purpose within yourselves.

[John O'Brien]

So let's, let's. Let's get some. Into some real talk. He's got survivor's guilt. He doesn't sleep. He's always working because he was on that balcony when he. When Dr. King was assassinated, the FBI told him the instructions for the shooter. If you miss the dreamer, kill the strategist. He's been this all this time. U.N. ambassador, first black U.N. ambassador in history. United States under Carter, first congressman since Reconstruction in the South. Brought the Atlantic, the Olympics to Atlanta. Made Atlanta international city mayor, Presidential Medal of Freedom Awardee, French Foreign Legion awardee 150 honorary doctor degrees, brought a venture capital to Africa, liberated Zimbabwe, helped to get Mandala out of prison. But underneath all this, I'm here because my friend was a shot. So he couldn't enjoy any of it. He'd give all his money away. He's been a servant his whole life, and he is. He's the closest thing we have to Nelson Mandela.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Everybody plays a role in the movement is what I've always heard and learned. I feel like today when we talk about the boycotts that, that we're trying to do actively, there's no real roles. We don't take one thing serious. We might take the other one serious because there's no, there's no structure. There's no. How did you get people to fall in line? Even not everybody agreed with you.

[Andrew Young]

Everybody used to go to church back then, and radio, black radio was owned by white folks. And they would play the music and. But we'd have to slip in an announcement. There's going to be a certain meeting that, you know, such and such a Baptist church or such and such a Methodist church. And they finally even stopped them from. From doing announcements. So it went by word of mouth. We knew that every night we'd have a mass meeting at some church in some neighborhood, and people would get together about five o' clock and they sing these old songs that the young folk then came in and modified the freedom songs. Then the preachers would come in and preach a little bit and tell what's going on. But it was, it was all around the church. And in the daytime when the churches were not operating, the kids went to the schools and the guys who were hanging out at the pool hall, we stopped by there. In fact, Dr. King was very good pool player, grew up in the ymca. And he could get everybody's attention because he would go into a pool hall and challenge the guy, said, can I take the winner? And. And after he. They saw he was. He could run the table, they listened to him. And it was finding a way to get to people where they are. And they would really say, I'm ready to die for my. My people. It was a threat of death to almost every black man in the south until just recently. And it's coming back now. It's more organized now. The only person who would talk about it openly was Martin Luther King. And he said, now, you know, if we go messing with Birmingham, some of us ain't gonna come back. See, now he knew he was the one most likely targeted. But, I mean, he'd make a joke out of It. And he had a real good sense of humor. He said, john, it might be your turn, but it's going to be one of the hardest things I ever do. But I'll try my best to preach your ass into heaven. And. And then he'd start preaching all the things that. That I pick on him about, say. And he would say things you. You didn't know he knew about you. And he'd ask God to forgive you and please let him into heaven. You know, I mean, he really. Yeah, he really turned your death into a comedy. It wasn't sadistic.

[DJ Envy]

Now, if you're just joining us, we're still talking with Andrew Young. Civil rights activist, politician, worked very closely to Martin Luther King Jr. Charlemagne.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The fact that people knew that they could potentially die and still were willing to make that sacrifice is what I think is missing.

[John O'Brien]

Yes.

[Andrew Young]

Now, you shouldn't be willing to make the sacrifice. You should be willing to. To take your time and assume that you can make the world right and you don't have to die. And we maybe have made it too difficult. Most of the people who died, we can remember the names, but they're literally millions. Like, Martin Luther King got stabbed by a black woman up here in Harlem. And that with a letter opener. And the letter opener was pressing on the a order of his heart. And they said if he had sneezed, he probably would have died. And he talked about that all the time. But what he talked about, he said, but he got a letter. This girl said, I am 11 years old and it shouldn't matter, but I happen to be white. And I just want to thank you and thank God that you did not sneeze. And he would. He talked about that all the time because it represented the fact that there's still many, many good people. And you shouldn't believe that the whole world is going to hell in a handbasket. See that right now?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So even right now, in this moment.

[Andrew Young]

Right now, okay, the whole world is not going to hell in a handbasket.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

In the doc, you said, after Martin Luther King Jr. Got shot, you knew there was no hope.

[Andrew Young]

I knew that it was gonna be hard, but I really. My mama used to make me go to Sunday school. And one time they were talking about. About Elijah going to heaven in a flaming chariot. And I was about 9 years old, and I said, I don't believe that they put me out of Sunday school, See, But I never forgot that. And that's what I thought when I saw Martin laying there. 1. I said, he probably didn't even hear that shot. The bullet power travels faster than the speed of sound, so it hit him right in his and severed his spinal cord. So he probably never heard it and he probably never felt any pain and he was dead instantly. And the thing that occurred to me then was, damn, my brother done gone to heaven in a flaming chariot. And all of the, all of the spirituals talk about, you know, steal away, steal away to Jesus. And I just felt that he'd gone home to the Lord and it left you here and left me here. But I knew, and I still know that there's hardly a day that I don't talk about him and learn or remember something that he said in a similar situation. And I passed that on to my children.

And it's one of the reasons why I'm really grateful to those folk and John is one of them that put together money to tell this story because all the books that were written by the movement are big thick books and we don't keep still that long. So the mass media, radio and television is still our means of communication and it's why you play such an important part in our community and why I had to. I mean I was in a meeting last night till 10 o'.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Clock.

[Andrew Young]

Went home, got me a few hours sleep, got up at 4:00 in the morning, got on a plane and came up back here because I wasn't coming to talk to you all. You, you talk to more people than anybody I know. And when John said he's going to let you talk to his people, I, I said, thank you, Jesus.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, it's a privilege, man.

[Andrew Young]

Well, it's a, but it's a privilege for me.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Do you think we've honored Dr. King's legacy or just branded it?

[Andrew Young]

No, I, I, I don't think there's anybody, anybody around that doesn't respect what he did and what he gave his life for. I think that, I think he is a sacred personality in our history. And, but everyone is like that. I mean, Crispus Attucks, I knew about him. He's the first black man, first man to die for this country in Massachusetts. And he's black. This country would not be what it is without us. And I think Martin Luther King represents the best of us. But he ain't the only one of us see that there were people around him and only a half a dozen of us have been to college. I mean, most of us learn, learn from the streets and they learn from our experiences. But the, I mean, Louis Armstrong grew up in my neighborhood in New Orleans. He didn't, I don't think anybody ever gave him trumpet lessons. He just picked up the thing and made it blow. And, and, and the thing that I'd like to remind people is that he is a man who grew up in one of the poorest neighborhoods in New Orleans. And he sings It's a Wonderful World and as Ray Charles was blind, and there's a big piano out in Albany, Georgia, where he grew up, and he sings America the Beautiful. But he doesn't start with the spacious skies. He starts with oh, beautiful. For heroes proved in liberating strife who more than self their country loved and mercy more than life. And we take the history of this country and the history of this planet and we turn it into a piece of music or a symbol of grace. If we do something, we do it with style, you know, and it's, and no matter what it is, we do it better.

[Jesse Larios]

What, what was the issue, the real issue between Martin Luther King Jr. And Malcolm X?

[Andrew Young]

You know, there was no issue. The, the difference was that Martin Luther King learned in college, Malcolm X learned in jail, but Malcolm X read the dictionary and the Bible say. And when Martin came back with the Nobel Prize, we were up there in Harlem and Armory. And when we came in the back door, who was standing next in the back door with Malcolm X? Two people. Malcolm X and Nelson Rockefeller. And Malcolm X said, I just wanted to thank you for all that you've done, and I want you to know that I am with you in anything you want me to do, but I think that it's probably better strategy if you and I don't seem to be so close and said, that's why I'm not going to come in there with you in public.

[John O'Brien]

He wasn't trying to profile, see, Malcolm X was not trying to take Martin.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Malcolm did. Used to disparage Malcolm used to disparage Martin publicly. Sometime, though, we'll call him Uncle Tom.

[John O'Brien]

That was his brand.

[Andrew Young]

It wasn't. It wasn't Malcolm so much as it was that whole. Whole crowd around Elijah Muhammad now.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But Martin was close to Elijah, too, it seemed like.

[Andrew Young]

I know well, because Honorable Elijah. Because when we came to, if we went into town, like when we went to Chicago, we got all the big preachers together and, and got them to agree that we would be there with them and that they could tell us what they wanted us to do. Now, some didn't like it, and some just didn't want anybody to have a profile but them. And we, we just went on around them.

[John O'Brien]

By the way, when he became mayor, just a point about people playing their roles. When he became mayor of Atlanta, the civil rights leaders, his friends, the second day he was mayor, they picketed him. So he went outside, he said, what.

[DJ Envy]

Are you guys doing?

[John O'Brien]

He said, well, you the mayor now. So we, you know, we, you got your job, we got ours. And he. And he accepted that. So Malcolm was playing his. Lane is playing his role publicly, but privately he respected Dr. King.

[DJ Envy]

Now, if you're just joining us, we're still talking with Andrew Young, civil rights activist, politician, worked very closely at Martin Luther King Jr. Charlemagne.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

If the Dirty Work documentary could teach one lesson and to this generation and the next generation of organizers, what. What would you want it to be?

[Andrew Young]

There is some dirty work in any struggle for freedom. But dirty work could be hard work. Dirty work could be thoughtful work, you know, whatever nobody else wants to do. Like, we didn't want to mess with money. And John decided that he was going to teach folk how to. That you can't be free without voting, but neither can you be free if you broke. And so teaching people how to manage money, how to save money, how to invest money, how to know the meaning of money to your Salvation and survival, that's another issue altogether. But communications is an issue.

[John O'Brien]

And so don't be afraid of doing the dirty work. Embrace it. It is. It's noble work. It's not dirty work.

[Andrew Young]

Yeah.

[John O'Brien]

Is that right?

[Andrew Young]

That's. Not only is it noble work is. Is. It's the kind of work that. That has to be done.

[John O'Brien]

So when, when Charlemagne was doing that internship way back when, in that, in that first radio program and when people noticed you, that was the dirty work?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Absolutely.

[John O'Brien]

I'm sure you've done dirty work in your career. This. You've always not been, both of you. And I've always been sitting here prime time. You've had to hustle, you've had to do things and jobs nobody else wants, wanted.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I still do the dirty work now.

[John O'Brien]

And the work you're doing with, with mental health, the foundation, you're doing the stuff that nobody sees. The conversation that we have that at 2 in the morning about, about life in general, all that's the dirty work. And raising your children is the most honorable version. Raising your pain, paying school fees. Like, yeah, we've got to be about the basics. We got to get back to the basics and be about we and not just about me. That's really who he is. And I spent most of this interview trying to draw him out.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

This was good.

[John O'Brien]

You can see him.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, this is good.

[Jesse Larios]

I loved it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

John Hope Bryant, thank you for bringing this, this, this walking memorial, this iconic, this icon living. Mr. Andrew Young. Thank you for coming, brother.

[Andrew Young]

Thank you for having me.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's right. And check out the dirty work on. What's on. It's a peacock, right?

[John O'Brien]

No, msnbc.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

MSNBC Global on MSNBC Globally. Thank you, brother.

[Andrew Young]

Thank you and thank all of your audience.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes, sir.

[Andrew Young]

This is college on the radio.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, I like that.

[John O'Brien]

That's a word.

[Mimi Brown]

Yeah.

[Andrew Young]

If you didn't have money to go to college, listen in. That's right.

[Mimi Brown]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Thank you. It's the Breakfast Club.

[DJ Envy]

You know what's so crazy about that interview? We had a Breakfast Club.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Of course, two hours.

[DJ Envy]

No, not only that. So my wife's best friend, her name was Sasha, and she was. She loved Andrew Young. She actually went to the School of Policy Studies at Georgia State. And I wasn't here for that interview.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Was he at Andrew Young?

[DJ Envy]

No, I wasn't here. I was in Atlanta for her funeral. Cause she passed. So it's so crazy that her husband just hit me, was like, you know, she would have had a thousand questions for you. But I wasn't actually here. For that interview. Because I was.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I didn't realize you wasn't here saying goodbye to her. He was here for almost two hours.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, I wasn't here for that interview, so. Rest in peace, Sasha McWilliams. Rest in peace. Got another angel in heaven looking over me. All right, but let's get to the latest with Lauren.

[Jesse Larios]

Lauren becoming a straight fan.

[DJ Envy]

She gets them from somebody that knows somebody.

[Lauren LaRosa]

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

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She'll be having the latest on it.

[Ashley Nicole Moss]

The Latest with Lauren LaRosa.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Sometimes you have facts. Sometimes you have details. Sometimes you have a little bit everything.

[DJ Envy]

What was the latest on the breakfast?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, we here. Good morning. You gotta tell them why you're bad.

[Jesse Larios]

Oh, my bad.

[Ashley Nicole Moss]

Yeah.

[John O'Brien]

Yes.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Backstory.

[Jesse Larios]

Charlemagne said that you. You put lamb on today. That's not what I would have said.

[DJ Envy]

It's a little lambish.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Definitely lamb.

[Jesse Larios]

Not lambish.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Okay, well, it's faux Peter. Nothing real.

[Ashley Nicole Moss]

Oh, yeah.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah. Well, in other news, outside of the lambs, Stephen A. Smith has decided to come out, apologize to Jasmine Crockett. You guys, remember we had a conversation up here about, you know, people being upset about some of the things that he had said about her and how Jasmine Crockett has been fighting for us out there in the political streets. Well, now he's apologizing. Let's listen.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I wanted to take this opportunity to attack this issue as it pertained to.

[DJ Envy]

Me and Jasmine Crockett, because I personally have had an issue with how things have been misconstrued and misinterpreted.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But at the end of the day, I have to own it.

[DJ Envy]

And so when somebody says to me, me, Steven.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Rather than point to her and her.

[DJ Envy]

Verbiage and her language and how she.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Talked about the president, what about how he talks? I have no problem with that.

[DJ Envy]

And if that is the reason that everybody is in an uproar, that is fine.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And I have no problem apologizing to that, to my sister, because, damn it.

[DJ Envy]

I want her to know I don't.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Feel that way about her. I have no problem apologizing if I'm wrong.

[DJ Envy]

But I'm gonna challenge the legitimacy of.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What people come at me with. If you came to me and you said to me, it came across as.

[DJ Envy]

A bit dismissive, Steven, you should have.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Been more protective of her.

[John O'Brien]

That.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Because look at how he speaks. Look at how they act on Capitol Hill towards her.

[DJ Envy]

I understand that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But when somebody tries to take that to accuse me of being disrespectful, or in any way misogynistic. I'm going to push back on that because that's emphatically false.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah. So he's apologizing.

[Jesse Larios]

Nice.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah. I think it's a good thing to hear. Good thing to see.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's why I will always have respect to Stephen A. Because he has the ability to change his mind and admit when he's wrong.

[Jesse Larios]

Okay.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And that says a lot about a person. That says a lot about a person. Okay. When they, they are presented with new information and can admit they. They were wrong. I respect it.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I agree.

[DJ Envy]

She responded, has she? Not as yet, no.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I haven't seen a response from her. She actually, that I was watching, didn't say anything to him at all.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She's too busy working in Congress.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Exactly. And I think people tried to make this out to be like, Stephen A. Smith has this like. Like he knows that this story is going to get traction. He's just doing what he does. But I think that this also shows too that he does actually care about the things that he's talking about personally because he cares about her well being. You can hear that through his apology.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So you disagree with Stephen A. Smith. But I've never heard Stephen A. Smith just talk for the sake of talking.

[Andrew Young]

Okay.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And I really wish more people, especially black people in the political space or the social justice space or the activism space, you know, build some bridges with Stephen A. And tap into his audience, go on their show. Because then white politicians are taking full advantage of going on Stephen A. Show and taking advantage of his audience. So why aren't the black elected officials and black activists and black politicians.

[DJ Envy]

I totally agree with you. I hate it sometimes when I feel like we'll go at somebody and not have a conversation with them. Right. Even if you think they're right or wrong, have a conversation. Maybe what you say, they'd be like, oh, I wasn't thinking that. And I just hate when we attack each other when we don't necessarily agree with what we say.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I hate that. And if you think he's thinking he's misinforming his audience, then go have a conversation with him on his show. And as you're educating him, you'll also be doing what? Educating his audience.

[Andrew Young]

Agree.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Well, in other news, shifting gears, yesterday news broke of a filing so Dra Gates, or formerly Dra Gates, who is the estranged wife of Kevin Gates music artist Kevin Gates, she's put paper into paper paperwork into the court stating that Kevin Gates has abandoned her and her children and they are now in Financial ruin. So the docs read, you know, they tell the story about how Dra was managing Kevin Gates for some time. She left LSU to manage him even before he was like this big famed celebrity. And they've built so much together. They share two children. And she says that, she says several things. She's asking the court for a ton of spousal support and child support. She believes that she should be receiving over 70k between those two things. And here's why she says that, number one, the debt that they've been left in. She says her Mississippi farm is now in foreclosure. She lists that the IRS has a levy out on Drika for $7 million dollars in unpaid taxes. And she's also saying that, you know, Kevin's actions in 2023, she alleges, went from neglect to weaponization. She says that at one point in time there were, I guess, like royalties and different things that she was receiving. And she alleges that now she does not receive those things. She in the doc says that, you know, she stood by him through it all, through incarceration, absences, infidelity, and financial manipulation. And then in 2021 is actually when everything changed. And she claims that Kevin Gates dismantled the financial of their family. She says that he also stopped paying, alleges he stopped paying for basic family obligations like household staff, property tax, private school tuition, and that it was actually 80 of the couple's royalty income stopped coming to her and went. And now, she alleges, only goes into his personal accounts. And she says she tried to figure it out on her own. She tried to downsize, she tried to do everything that she could. She borrowed money, she took loans, she even sold her car to keep up with the children, children's expenses. She poured herself into her growing wellness business, her Drika llc. But no amount of determination could offset the calculated financial sabotage that she's alleging. So she's, you know, asking for money. She says that she needs help right now and that she's not receiving it.

[DJ Envy]

She's at 70, 000amonth.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah. So she wants over 70k in monthly support to catch up and just be able to maintain a lifestyle that she says that, you know, her children and her need to maintain 70 million, $7.

[DJ Envy]

Million is a lot of bread and taxes. Jesus Christ.

[Lauren LaRosa]

To me, like in reading the docs, and it's almost 400 pages, I didn't even get halfway through. But in reading it, it sounds like a lot of this is her wanting to be able to just catch up like she says at one point, you know, like, she's talking about her farm is in foreclosure. Like they're losing their stability. Living wise is what she's claiming. Now, I did reach out to reps for Kevin Gates. I have not heard back yet. Didn't see that he posted anything or anything like that on social media. And in the docs, her attorneys say that Kevin Gates. They let. He's defending himself by saying that, you know, the two were never legally married, but, you know, that we knew of. They had been married back in 2015. Back in October 2015. Yeah.

[Jesse Larios]

Well, prayers to Drika in the family.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah. Wishing them the best. Or to figure it out, I guess, for the two babies.

[Jesse Larios]

Absolutely.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah. And their kids are 11 and 12, so they're older kids.

[DJ Envy]

Hope they're able to work it out.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, me too.

[DJ Envy]

I pray they are.

[Lauren LaRosa]

And that's it.

[Jesse Larios]

All right. Silence of the Lamb.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You lost me a little bit.

[Lauren LaRosa]

What? You.

[DJ Envy]

What?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It don't even matter.

[DJ Envy]

I heard $7 million.

[Lauren LaRosa]

It's just basically, she's saying she's. She's fighting for her life right now financially, and she alleges that it's. It's because Kevin Gates.

[Andrew Young]

Yep.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Took away their income.

[Jesse Larios]

But she's. She was his man manager, so she didn't have issues. His wife.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Right.

[Lauren LaRosa]

That's what she's saying. She's saying that their royalties were. They stopped coming her way. They started going to a personal account that he has. That's what she alleges.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Court, court, court.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Okay. Yep.

[DJ Envy]

That is the latest for Lauren Charlemagne.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes.

[DJ Envy]

We're giving that down for two.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Man don't care about their kids. We gonna talk about it for after the hour.

[DJ Envy]

What?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Oh, we know you're not talking about what we just came out of, but that was a crazy segue.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I know.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I do crazy segues, but you look right at land.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Like, would you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know what?

[DJ Envy]

Forget it. Why you look out? Why you look out when you said that you could look here, you could look here, you could look there.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Why every single one of my co hosts in this room. No, you didn't.

[Lauren LaRosa]

My lamb felt it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, see, I don't have nothing to do with this projection, okay?

[Jesse Larios]

I don't got kids.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't know what's going on right now. Just here to do a job, guys. I don't know what y' all are doing. This is weird.

[DJ Envy]

All right, D up, it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

[Andrew Young]

Make sure you tell them to watch out for Florida, man.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida. Yes, you are a donkey.

[Mimi Brown]

The Florida man attacked an ATM for.

[Jesse Larios]

A very strange reason.

[Mimi Brown]

It gave him too much money. Florida man is arrested after deputies say he rigged the door to his home in an attempt to electrocute his pregnant wife. Police arrested an Orlando man for attacking.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

A flamingo, the Breakfast Club Donkey of the Day with Charlemagne.

[John O'Brien]

The guy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't know why y' all keep letting him get y' all like this. Yes, it's not me, Duvall. It's Florida Donkey of the day for Thursday, October 23rd goes to a 35 year old Florida man named Jeremy Jaren Rouse. Okay, what does your Uncle Charlotte always say about the great state of Florida? The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida, and today is no exception. Now, Jeremy is a Uber Eats driver. And we the people need our Uber Eats drivers to do two things for us. One, make sure we get our food in a timely manner. And two, which is probably the most important, don't f with our food, bro. Okay? We trust you not to put your penis on our pastry. So I respect people who take their job as an Uber Eats driver seriously. Drop on the clues bombs for all the Uber Eats drivers out there. Jeremy definitely takes his Uber Eats job so seriously. Okay? Anybody who cares about their delivery rating is my kind of Uber Eats driver. How do you get a great rating being an Uber Eats driver? Well, it's a few things, okay? You must focus on efficiency and customer service. You must be prompt, okay? You must be polite. You must be professional. You must communicate effectively with the customer and restaurant. You have to follow delivery instructions, okay? You should verify the order and you should keep the customer informed throughout the process, okay? That's how you get a good rating on Uber Eats. And Jeremy takes that very seriously, okay? He is determined to get a good rating by any means necessary. But I would like to also tell all the Uber east drivers out there that there is some things that should come before your Uber Eats delivery rating. See, we know how you know hard times is out here right now, okay? Folks can't afford rent, they can't afford food, and they can't afford child care, okay? It's damn near impossible for some people to be able to take care of all three of those things. So some people. People have to bring their kids to work, okay? Jeremy is one of those people. Jeremy had to bring his child to work. And Jeremy bringing his child to work led to a headline that I read this morning and the Headline said, Uber eats dad realizes his son is missing from car and keeps doing deliveries to prevent rating from going down. I can't make this type of stuff up. Let's go to Fox News for the report, please. Altamont Springs police arrested Jeremy Ruse. Police say they found his nonverbal juvenile son, who has autism, running naked on the westbound on ramp of I4 at State Road 436. Happened around 11 o' clock Thursday night. Police say Ruse admitted to them he realized his son wasn't in the backseat of his car, but kept driving to make his deliveries. Officers say Ruse even drove by them as they cared for his own son. They say a woman picked the boy up after nearly an hour. Police say hours later, Ruse called them.

[DJ Envy]

To share his side of the story.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The report says he told them he kept driving toward Winter park, miles away, because he did not want to negatively affect his Uber Eats rating. Police say he told them he didn't go pick up his son because he feared being arrested and said if he were to be arrested, he preferred to do it later. Every now and then, a Facebook post pops up and it says, the more I get to know people, people, the more I understand why Noah only let animals on the ark. I agree wholeheartedly. Drop one of clues bombs for Noah.

[Andrew Young]

Okay?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And I would like to give that more of an updated feel. The more I get to know people, the more I understand why the tech bros want to replace y' all with robots, AI, everything. I am sick of humans and their decision making. Okay? Virtual reality it all. Y' all don't deserve real oxygen. Okay? Keep people in the house. We can't be trusted around each other, other. All right? The fact that his Uber rating means more to him than his special needs child. Okay? Little boy, autistic, running around naked, okay? And you don't even realize it. All right? Hey, Jeremy, how about striving to be a five star father, okay? You don't want to get a thumbs up on being a dad, all right? I think it's a damn crime to label this little boy special needs and not check to see if the needs of the father are special, too. Okay? Like, something is not right. This batch of humans, humans, I really believe, aren't created by God. There's just a certain batch of humans that God had nothing to do with. I think at some point God left the ingredients for humans, but whoever was in charge of making them, they changed the recipe. Okay? Because common sense is just a thing of the past. All right? I know life be life. And. But how you just forget your child, and then when you remember you forgot your child, you say, let me finish these Uber Eat drop offs first. Okay? Now selfishness. If I ordered food. Thank you, but damn, man. I want you to love yourself, Jeremy. There is no way you really love yourself because taking care of yourself is part of taking care of your kids. And the reason that you don't know your child was missing is because you're missing so much within yourself. Please give Jeremy Jaron rouse the sweet sounds and Hamiltones.

[DJ Envy]

Oh, now you are the donkey of the day. Of the day.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

This is a shame.

[DJ Envy]

It definitely sounds like the dad has autism, too.

[Jesse Larios]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like how you didn't know the little boy wasn't in the backseat no more? Because I know a little boy was making noise. Yeah, yeah, I know he was making noise. Making noise. He didn't realize how quiet it was once the little boy wasn't in the car no more.

[Jesse Larios]

Right?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

This is crazy. This is crazy.

[DJ Envy]

Definitely had to know. And the sad part is it probably happened before. It's not the first time. Because you. You lose your autism son and you're just like, all right, well, I got to do these deliveries. That mean that must have happened before.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You like, he all right.

[Andrew Young]

Oh, Lord.

[Jesse Larios]

How old was the kid?

[John O'Brien]

I don't think.

[Jesse Larios]

Okay.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He was 35, though.

[Jesse Larios]

Yeah, him.

[DJ Envy]

Poor little boy. All right, all right. Thank you for that donkey today.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Play game.

[Jesse Larios]

Yeah.

[Andrew Young]

No, please.

[Jesse Larios]

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Man, you always want to play games? No. Because why play a game. You want to play a game? No.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

[DJ Envy]

I want to play.

[Jesse Larios]

What you mean, why was it matter?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He was irresponsible. Okay, I want to play.

[Jesse Larios]

The only reason why you don't want to play, cuz you already know the race.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

[DJ Envy]

He always knows the race.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

[DJ Envy]

Guess what?

[Andrew Young]

Hold on.

[Jesse Larios]

He is so petty.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like, what you mean. And don't you say it out loud either. You just shut up. Oh, my God.

[DJ Envy]

You know what?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Hey, chat. We live on Breakfast Club Am Twitch Chat. Tell me what the race is. You know what the chat said? I'm not even gonna say it. When the chat said. I just want to know chat. What y' all think the race is?

[DJ Envy]

You know what? You know what? Up next. Just fix my mess. 800-585-1051 if you have a relationship issues or any type of type of problem.

[Jesse Larios]

Because it would make sense.

[DJ Envy]

Hey. What's your name, mama?

[Caller/Listener]

Fatima.

[DJ Envy]

Oh, Fatima. I'm sorry. Fatima, what's up, baby? What's your question for Jess?

[Caller/Listener]

Hi. My bad. I'm sorry. So, Jess, I was with somebody for about four years and it was good, but we was on and off jobs and stuff. And my main problem with him was he wouldn't find God. But I felt like in my opinion, he needed and he knew he needed, he was slacking. So when he finally found it, every time there was a problem, he would use it against me or anybody in his family.

[Jesse Larios]

And it was, sorry, I'm sorry, Fatima. You said find God.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, find God.

[Caller/Listener]

Like in my opinion, I knew knew he did it. And I feel like a lot of people these days needed. So he finally found it okay. But then whenever there was a problem, he would use it against me in any conversation, like get ready.

[Caller/Listener]

He decided to be abstinent. And I was okay with that. I didn't mind, but he kept that boundary every time he wanted to do something and then when he was finished, he would blame me. So I finally decided to leave. But my thing is just, I'm trying not to break no contact. Even though this was somebody who I wanted to marry, somebody who I wanted to have kids here. How do I accept the fact that. That it might be over?

[Jesse Larios]

You just have to accept it. I'm. I'm having a hard time following it though. You know what I'm saying? You, you, you said God, right? Because you keep saying it. You mean so, you, so Christ, you know, you, faith, you. Yeah, yeah, you introduce him to faith. Okay. And he found his faith, but somehow when y' all get into arguments, he turns it back on you. I don't know what that has to do with you leading him to faith.

[Caller/Listener]

Like he wanted to be an abstinence, but he would always cross that boundary trying to have sex. And sometimes you would, sometimes you wouldn't. And then afterwards when he finished, he would just turn around in his corner and act like nothing happened. And I hated that because then sometimes I would feel like it was my fault.

[Jesse Larios]

Okay, so you practice abstinence.

[John O'Brien]

Yeah.

[Jesse Larios]

Okay. And he did not want to do that, but he is doing it because. Because he's doing it for the betterment of you guys relationship. And he also found Christ through you. So it's like, okay, he's doing this, but he's also a man and he's very tempted and so he beats off sometimes in a corner. And you didn't.

[Caller/Listener]

So we have sex.

[Mimi Brown]

Right?

[Jesse Larios]

Okay, I'm sorry.

[Caller/Listener]

I know this is complicated because it's complicated for people too. Like after he finished sex, he would turn around and point and act like nothing happened. And then we had a conversation two weeks ago that when you come around, just sit on the other side of the couch. Because I don't want to be tempted because every time you're around me, I just want to touch it okay. And I told him, you lack self control.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Okay.

[Caller/Listener]

That's the problem. You don't have to touch me.

[Jesse Larios]

I got you. I got you. So it seems. It seems. Are you guys married or are you just together?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Are you married?

[Caller/Listener]

Myself. No, actually. At all.

[Jesse Larios]

Okay. So that's why you're practicing. You're trying your best to. To stay horse until you guys are married. And you guys can willingly do whatever you want to do sexually or intimately.

[Caller/Listener]

Because we had a. We had an issue a while back. I had a miscarriage by him.

[Jesse Larios]

So sorry.

[Caller/Listener]

And I. Yeah. And I. And I just could not. I'm like, I don't want to be touched. I really want to have a child in marriage, but I just have to let go because I'm like, if you can't be the man that I need, I cannot have you around me.

[Jesse Larios]

Yeah, well, obviously it's to y' all on two different pages, right? And it honestly it seems like he did try your way and he. He tried and he's trying and he's still trying. However, that doesn't seem like the life that, that, that he wants to live. He's doing it because he loves you, it seems like. Right. But. And sometimes that works out.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Out.

[Jesse Larios]

But it's very hard for him.

[John O'Brien]

Girl, you.

[Jesse Larios]

You a fine ass individual because he can't even look at you, honey. He wants you to turn around. He want to hide behind a curtain when you walk in the door. So that is not the guy for you, you know what I'm saying? And that's not to say he's not a bad person. I mean, that's not to say he's a bad person. You, you. You gonna have to. It is a very few individuals that can deal with what you are putting down. You know what I mean? But that's your way and there is somebody out there for you. Unfortunately, it is not him him. And I know the history between you two. You lost the child. I'm so sorry about that. But I feel like this is not the relationship for you. You need somebody who is aligned with you, you know what I'm saying? You need somebody that you are equally yoked with and that is not that gentleman. I do appreciate him and you should appreciate him too for even trying. But you can't get upset with the person for not living in abstinence to the degree that you do. You know what I mean? You just have to. To do your best and find your person. Damn for tame.

[Andrew Young]

But I hung up.

[Jesse Larios]

She said, look, you ain't trying to Hear what I'm putting down. So it is what it is. Good morning.

[Mimi Brown]

Who's this?

[Caller/Listener]

Good morning, Jackson. Joey from Orlando.

[Jesse Larios]

What's up, Joey from Orlando. What's wrong?

[Caller/Listener]

So, look, it's a long story, but basically I'm gonna try to break it down and shorten it up.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So I got.

[Caller/Listener]

I got like, a bipolar disorder. I've been diagnosed through the va. I've been married for a couple months. I basically kicked out my current wife and her kids at my house. It's been two months. She found her own apartment. So what do I do? Do I continue to fight for the marriage or. I just a lot of paperwork and just be done with it.

[Jesse Larios]

Wait, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. What do you mean, continue to fight? You kicked her and her kids out? What do you mean? How are you fighting? What do you mean? What's happening?

[Caller/Listener]

Yeah, just. I mean, so basically within that two months that she's been gone, like, we even. We'll talk here and there. We linked up a few times. You know what I'm saying?

[Andrew Young]

So that's what.

[Caller/Listener]

I don't know if she's just giving.

[Jesse Larios]

Me false hope, but why you kicked her out. There is no hope when you kick me and my kids out of your house. And this was your wife, you know, babe, so that's kind of right, you know, And I know that you are struggling with, you know, your. Your mental disorder, and I do understand that. Are you getting the proper help for that?

[Andrew Young]

Yeah.

[Caller/Listener]

Yeah, actually, I go to the va, you know, every two weeks.

[Jesse Larios]

Every two weeks. Okay. Okay. Why did you kick them out? What made you kick them out? And don't tell me you was a whole nother person and you heard voices when you did it. It had to be a reason for that.

[Caller/Listener]

I got a kid from a previous relationship, and she got kids from previous relationships. So my daughter told me some stuff that she said to her and I wasn't too happy about. So I immediately turned into dad mode and protected my daughter.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Okay.

[Caller/Listener]

My house. Because I didn't like what they were doing to her or saying to her.

[Jesse Larios]

Okay. Now, before you just went ahead and kicked her out, I understand dad mode, absolutely. But you're also a husband as well, you know, and when you're operating wearing both of those hats under the same roof as your wife and the Brady Bunch, because you have kids from previous relationships and she has kids from previous relationships, what you do is you call a family meeting, you go speak with your wife about what your daughter just told you, and you can still be that. That dad in protector mode without kicking them out first thing. It don't even sound like you allowed a conversation before you did that, you know?

[Caller/Listener]

Right, I did.

[Jesse Larios]

Yeah.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So that's.

[Jesse Larios]

That's just all that is, you know? And it sounds like you really do. It sounds like you feel like you made a mistake, but you don't want to. You don't want to disappoint your daughter, and you will not be doing that. But it sounds like, you know, that you went too far too quickly. Right? You made a decision a little too quick.

[Caller/Listener]

Absolutely.

[Jesse Larios]

Yes. You didn't. So I can tell you want your marriage, and I. I want you to fight for it, you know? But think about where your wife mindset is, right? Because if you kicked her out without even hearing her out, it's like, damn, how can I trust you? How can I trust that you won't do this again? So you have to also put yourself in her shoes to. And then you also have to have a conversation with your baby girl. You know what I mean? But I think it should have been a family meeting that take. That took place. And y'.

[Andrew Young]

All.

[Jesse Larios]

And in family with family, when you're married and everything like that, there are always going to be uncomfortable conversations that you have to be willing to have. You know, you just can't make decisions like that. That was very. That was, you know, selfish. Got the word. Yes, it was selfish. That wasn't the word I was looking for, but yes, it was selfish. But that was made. That was a very. I don't know. What's the word, Charlemagne? Come on.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I ain't even paying no attention. Oh, my.

[Jesse Larios]

Jesus Christ. I'm sorry, Orlando, man. But look, I want you to continue to fight for your marriage. I think you should call your wife, and you and her should go somewhere and talk about it, and then bring the kids together and have a family meeting. You should apologize in front of your kids to your wife. So that also sets a tone in the home, you know what I mean? Because I don't even want your daughter to think that that was okay, that you just took her word and just kicked her stepmom and her, you know, step siblings out. You know what I mean? You have to set an example for your child and your wife's children as well, and also be the head of the household and run it the right way. That's a marriage that you're in. It's not just your girlfriend, you know? And so everybody needs an apology from you, your wife and their kids and her kids and. Well, y' all kids. Cause y' all are married, so y' all are parents to all of these children and your daughter, you know?

[Caller/Listener]

Yeah, good point.

[Jesse Larios]

Yeah. I'm sorry that that happened. But I do. I do have faith that you will get your wife back. You just have to. You just have to reassure her. And you. You gotta get better with communication, babe.

[Caller/Listener]

Okay. Thank you.

[Jesse Larios]

No problem.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That was just fix my. My mess. Okay? We do that every Thursday around this time. Why you looking at me like you wasn't even listening? You had it handled.

[Jesse Larios]

I listen to your donkey today. Every day. I do this once a week. On Thursday, you couldn't even listen.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I was listening. I just wasn't listening to that part. I listen to the first one. Okay? What are you talking about?

[Jesse Larios]

First one didn't make no damn sense. And you gonna listen. You missed out on a really good one.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What happened?

[Jesse Larios]

He kicked his wife out because of something that his daughter told him. Can't even even say, hey, wife, we need to sit down and have a conversation because I don't like what I'm hearing. My daughter came back and told me that y' all was talking about something, something, something.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But he also said he deals with bipolar disorder, so he probably was having a manic episode when he did that. So he probably don't even mean that when he did it.

[Jesse Larios]

Okay.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, see? So I'm just saying, listen, we do that every Thursday around 8, 8:15am but, yeah, we got the latest with Lauren coming up next, right. Where the hell did Amy go?

[Jesse Larios]

I don't know. He went get an Asperger. I don't know what he wasn't gonna do.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's the world's most dangerous morning show. The Breakfast Club.

[DJ Envy]

The Breakfast Club.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She gets them from somebody that knows somebody, some details.

[Lauren LaRosa]

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

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She be having the latest on.

[Andrew Young]

The.

[Ashley Nicole Moss]

Latest with Lauren LaRosa.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Sometimes she have facts, Sometimes she have details. Sometimes she have a little bit everything. Oh, it's the latest on the Breakfast Club. Talk to me, Lauren. Like Lara Rosa.

[Jesse Larios]

So this is culture.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So this is breaking right now. I don't have much details. I've not been able to reach out or anything to speak to anybody. But according to reports from ABC News, Portland Trailblazers coach Chauncey Billups has been charged in an illegal gambling operation tied to the mafia. Now, Billups was arrested allegedly or according to this report in Oregon. He's supposed to make a court appearance today at some point.

[Mimi Brown]

Point.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Now, Miami Heat guard Terry Roser. Did I say his last name right? Rosier is also charged in a separate but they say related alleged illegal gambling case as well. And FBI Director Cash Patel is supposed to be making, you know, announcement of the charges along with some other law enforcement officials today in New York City. So there'll be more developing there.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You ain't reach out to Cash.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I have, I don't have anything.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You reach out to the Mafia. You ain't reach out to Chauncey. Nothing.

[DJ Envy]

Nothing.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Supposed to be.

[Jesse Larios]

Yeah.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So it, yeah, he's locked up right now. He's supposed to be heading to court. It's a poker operation that they're pointing to.

[DJ Envy]

So he got arrested after this game because they had a game last night.

[Lauren LaRosa]

He's arrested right now. Supposed to be seeing a judge at some point today, according to this ABC News report. But I'll get more answers to that. And we'll be back with that tomorrow. Now in other news, switching gears completely, Monica. So there is a single day that posted a video online and has started a conversation about whether or not sleepovers are okay for your children. Let's take a listen to that audio.

[DJ Envy]

Last year I was trying to throw my daughter a slumber party. No woman lives in the household. It's just me and my daughter. I communicated with one of the mothers like just to see if she can get the ball rolling because she know a bunch of mo mothers and whatnot. And then I asked do she feel comfortable having and as I was talking because she straight up interrupted me, no, I don't feel comfortable with that at all. And like I said, because I'm a man. And she honestly, she was honest, she's like, yes. And I'm like, that really did make me feel some type of way. And I do understand like what women coming from. It just hurt to know that me just as a man, I get labeled as that. I would never do nothing like that to kids because like when I I was growing up, long story short, it happened to me, but by a woman, I would never do that to a child. That just made me really feel some type of way.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't think that's anything to take personal because most parents don't like, I mean, I don't like my kids spending out spending the night at nobody house.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I wasn't allowed to do that for a long time when I was a kid either. And I didn't understand until I got older why my mom was like so strict about that. But Monica, I mentioned her in the beginning because she Commented on this video, she said, we don't do sleepovers. My mother didn't do it. I don't either. And that applies to my sons and my daughters. In his case, inviting some moms to be there overnight, the chaperone may work, but that would be a no for me as well.

[DJ Envy]

The crazy thing, would you, would you allow your daughter to go to somebody's house with a single father? Would you?

[Jesse Larios]

No, I don't. Even if she does know him. No, it doesn't. I mean, because obviously in this case the kids do know him.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Right?

[Jesse Larios]

But no. And I am absolutely sorry about what happened to him, but honestly, I just feel like we didn't even need to know that part of that, you know what I'm saying?

[DJ Envy]

Just the fact that he was touched.

[Jesse Larios]

Or molested, you know, as a child, but like Charlamagne said, shouldn't have taken it personal. That's just what it is.

[DJ Envy]

I understand. Well, I would, I wouldn't allow my daughter to go to his house as well just because he is. I just, it would make me feel uncomfortable.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't let my daughters go to two parent households. I don't make my daughter sleep.

[DJ Envy]

But I will say this. The relationship I have with all the parents that go to my kids school and the relationship I have with the, the dance moms and the dance dads, if I was having a sleepover, my wife wasn't there, they would allow their daughter to go over. Because when I'm, a lot of times I'm the only man at those, those dance competitions and I'm watching over all those girls and I treat all those girls like they my kids. I watch them, I make sure that they're safe when they go get their uber food or all that, I watch them. So if it was me, I don't, I really can't see the mother saying no because they know me, they've been around me, they've been to my house.

[Jesse Larios]

But if they do, are you going to be upset if somebody say, oh, well, I don't feel comfortable with my daughter?

[DJ Envy]

I wouldn't be upset because I wouldn't understand because I would feel the same.

[Jesse Larios]

You just understand in the climate that we're in, we talk about stories, we hear stories that these people are doing things to children every day. And then it's just like, nah, no, I'm sorry. And then how do their fathers feel? You know, we talking about the moms, how do the, the fathers of the kids that he's inviting, how do they feel about it too?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'M just a father who deals with parental paranoia. I don't care if it's one parent household, two parent household. My kids ain't staying in nobody house. But y' all want to come, come stay over here? Cool. But they not going.

[DJ Envy]

But if it's a boy, I'm sure it would be. They would feel differently, right? If he had a son and they said other kids, I'm sure they would.

[Jesse Larios]

It may feel different now, cuz. Now that's different for me. Okay. That's all boys. But it's like you're a man hosting a all girl sleepover. I understand it's your daughter, but it's just. No.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Even if it's a boy, I just don't want my kids to end over nobody else house. We got a nice little house over here. What we need to be staying in somebody else house for?

[Andrew Young]

I get it.

[DJ Envy]

Now. My.

[Jesse Larios]

My son used to stay. Now my son, when he was playing football, his coach. They had a coach, they would. He would get all the. The teammates and they would have sleepovers. That's fine. We knew the coach and everything. But if it was like my daughter. No, it's just.

[DJ Envy]

It is my kids. My kids go to certain people's houses, but I'm like Charlemagne Mike. My house is the house where everybody. I'd rather everybody here, and that ain't me. There's enough stuff to do. I order you food. But you. You don't like this type of food. You're vegan. We can get you vegan alternatives. We can get you, like, come here.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Way my anxiety is set up, I need to have eyes on my kids at all times. I mean, you know, my. My. My oldest daughter is 17, so she has a different level of autonomy now, which I'm just learning to let go.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Oh, Lord. I know that's hard for you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm just learning to let go.

[Jesse Larios]

Okay, well, my house ain't the house for everybody kids to come to either.

[John O'Brien]

Mm.

[Lauren LaRosa]

It's to each his own. I think it. It really is. It depends on how your parents are, the relationship they have with the parent. That's inviting. And just how they were racing.

[DJ Envy]

Imagine, Mama, I seen Ms. Jess on the porch smoking something.

[Jesse Larios]

I don't know what that was. That's exactly why my house ain't the house.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Miss Jess.

[DJ Envy]

I seen her, Turk, twerking on the porch, and I.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Damn right.

[Jesse Larios]

Damn right, that's right.

[DJ Envy]

Nope.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Mom, I see Ms. Jess put the scarf on you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Everybody run out.

[DJ Envy]

We running now.

[John O'Brien]

We get.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Y' all do look like Mrs. Now that I. Y' all do look like Ms. Lauren and Ms. Jess.

[Jesse Larios]

Absolutely. I better look like Ms. Jess. The hell?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Somebody called me ma' am the other day and it hurt my heart.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You are a little ma'.

[Andrew Young]

Am.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She say, man.

[DJ Envy]

She said ma'.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Am. I said ma'. Am. Jess is the man.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Ma'.

[Jesse Larios]

Am. Yo, stop. Yo, seriously, stop playing with me.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Ma', am, stop playing with me.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I did have a little bit more.

[DJ Envy]

But we got Summer Walker.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So Summer Walker is talking about the fact that she might die alone. Let's take a listen. Once you really like de center men from your life and you really find your peace with just yourself, then it just start to get like, do you really want a. So then it be like, dying alone don't sound too bad.

[DJ Envy]

Do you think that that will be what happens?

[Lauren LaRosa]

It could be. But as long as I'm at peace, then it's cool. Because it's like everybody I know that got a. It's like he cheated. Ah, girl, he whooped my ass. Ah, he gave me std. So it just gets to a point where it's like I'm bored, but I don't have nothing to complain about to.

[Mimi Brown]

None of my friends.

[DJ Envy]

Then it seems like what you're saying is the solution here is stop dating men.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, you don't really gotta bust it open.

[Jesse Larios]

You really don't have to.

[Lauren LaRosa]

They got all types of out.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

They got roses and.

[Jesse Larios]

Yeah, like my smell good.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Like everything. Like you don't even gotta just. You don't really gotta with.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

First of all, salute to Speedy. That was someone walking talking to Speedy.

[Lauren LaRosa]

On 360 with Speedy over at comp complex number two.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Regardless of what you using, you're busting it open. Okay, I don't care if it's another woman.

[DJ Envy]

Bust it over.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

If it's the ro. Yes, you still busting it up.

[Lauren LaRosa]

But she's saying that it doesn't come with all those problems. Y' all know she's been through her things. Meech and the little meech and the groceries and she talked about that as well too.

[DJ Envy]

I thought she had the white guy, though. I thought the white guy was that.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I remember I told you that was just a friend.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She's gay.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I thought she enjoying her money or she's enjoying people's money right now. Just companionship. What she wants to is what she's saying. Cuz she has. And she has this new album finally over it coming out. She says that we going to get that air from her and her music. Music like she don't need to be super attached to a man right now because we've seen her be attached and didn't work out. Well, summer is 29:30.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, I understand that. Why she need to be attached to a man at this age?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Let's take a listen to her about the groceries.

[DJ Envy]

Lastly, on the.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

On the dating tip, before we move.

[DJ Envy]

On, I want to talk about an unfortunate situation for you that led to an incredible line and meme for us as fans and viewers. And that was, I can't help my cousin bring the bags in the house.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yes.

[DJ Envy]

What do you remember about that incredible line?

[Jesse Larios]

What do you remember about a moment like that?

[DJ Envy]

Was it infuriating for you?

[Lauren LaRosa]

It was. I was really ignorant.

[DJ Envy]

But hey, did you laugh at it or were you, like, in too deep?

[Lauren LaRosa]

No, I was like, that's trifling as I literally don't even have to say anything on that because his life is terrible now.

[Jesse Larios]

So.

[Mimi Brown]

Yeah.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Damn Speedy good, ain't he? He just laughing and joking the whole time, but gets so much out of and under an hour. Hour too. Great interview.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Absolutely speedy.

[DJ Envy]

All right, well, that's the latest with Lauren. Let's get to the mix chat. We'll see you guys tomorrow. Chat, man. Appreciate all the great conversation.

[Jesse Larios]

It's Miguel Birthday.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Okay.

[Jesse Larios]

Ryan Reynolds and Jackie Long. Jackie Long is my brother. Happy birthday, Jackie.

[DJ Envy]

Okay. All right, well, let's start the mix with some Miguel. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. I want to salute to everybody that's incarcerated and locked up. This is the second person I spoke to yesterday that said that they watch us on YouTube all. All the time.

[Jesse Larios]

Nice.

[DJ Envy]

They was like, you know, don't forget, you know, brothers locked up, that they. They still watch us. And they get a lot of the information from watching us on YouTube and everybody.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So I just. Right. Cause a couple weeks ago, me and Shaka Sing Core and a lot of the brothers in there were saying how they listen to us.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Remember when that guy used to draw pictures of you? Remember that guy drew a picture of you naked and sent it to you from prison? You remember that?

[DJ Envy]

I do.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That was wild. And then he did the front and the back. That's what made it so crazy. So he drew a picture. It'd be naked from the front, but then when you turn the paper over, it was him naked from the back, too.

[Caller/Listener]

Come on.

[Jesse Larios]

What did you do with the pictures?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He even colored it in. It was yellow.

[Jesse Larios]

Oh, no. What did you do with the pictures?

[DJ Envy]

I don't. I don't know what happened, but, yes, we used to have somebody that used to write us all the time, and he did draw a picture of me. Okay, Salute to that, brother. I don't know where he's at, but.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Salute to drawing another picture.

[Jesse Larios]

And now, cuz we talking about the first picture he drew.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He drawing naked men in jail. He at home. He did not want to be. He right where he want to be.

[DJ Envy]

He ain't go home. Yeah, yeah. But salute to everybody that's locked up. And salute to Andrew Young for joining us this morning.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Man. And John o', Brien, man, so many people texted me about that Andrew Young interview. This is a man who literally worked hand in hand with Martin Luther King Jr. We don't be understanding that people like that still exist.

[DJ Envy]

That's right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So the folks you read about in history books, the folks you hear about, they would have still been alive today if they weren't assassinated. Okay. And people, there's people out here who actually knew them and were friends with them. And I'm just glad that Andrew Young is 93 years old and still has the wherewithal and the cognitive ability to be able to tell those stories.

[DJ Envy]

That's right. And I'm glad we're able to document it so people can, you know, see it more and listen to it more. It was a blessing. I'm mad I missed that one.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So make sure you go watch his document documentary on msnbc, Andrew Young, the Dirty Work, or go watch the interview on Breakfast Club YouTube page, which is actually longer than the documentary. Yes.

[DJ Envy]

All right. Well, got a positive note, actually.

Before we do, guys, drum roll, Drum roll. I have a big announcement. On Monday, I will be making it. It's something very near and dear to me. It's great, and it will be one of my biggest accomplishments yet. But October 31st, make sure you get your tickets in Charlotte, North Carolina. I will be at Comedy Zone. We got four shows. Two shows on Halloween and then two shows that Saturday, November 1st, at Comedy Zone. Like I said, jessellariusofficial.com for the tickets, I will be giving away a cash prize to the person who wears the best Halloween costume. Okay. I love you guys. Can't wait to see you, 704.

All right. You got a positive note, Charlemagne?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I do. I want to tell people. Tomorrow, 4:30pm, Colonial Life Arena. Myself, Don Staley, Asia Wilson. Wilson, go get your tickets right now. We will be in conversation. And then right after the conversation, USC women's basketball is playing Anderson in an exhibition game. So we'll see you tomorrow in Columbia, South Carolina. Now the positive note is simply this. We cannot give what we do not have, okay? We cannot bring peace to the world if we ourselves are not peaceful. We cannot bring love to the world if we ourselves are not loving. So be. Be the change you want to see on this planet, people. Have a great day. Breakfast Club bitches.

Hello America's sweetheart. Johnny Knoxville here. I want to tell you about my new true crime podcast, Crimeless Hillbilly Heist from Smartless Media, Campside Media and Big Money Place Players. It's a wild tale about a gang of high functioning nitwits who somehow pulled off America's third largest cash heist. Kind of like Robin Hood, except for.

The part where he steals from the.

Rich and gives to the poor.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm not that generous.

[DJ Envy]

It's a damn near inspiring true story for anyone out there who's ever shot for the moon, then just totally muffed up the landing.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

They've stole 17 million and had not bought a ticket to help him escape.

[Jesse Larios]

So we're sitting like, oh God, what do we do?

[John O'Brien]

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That was dumb. People. Do not follow my example.
