President Trump praised Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's swift response, highlighting the deployment of the Coast Guard and other federal resources.

So don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club.

[Morgan Wood]

Good morning.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

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

[DJ Envy]

How y' all feeling?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You said, I'm tired. You said, I know you are. Yeah.

[Just Hilarious]

No, this just watching, you know, what's going on in Texas is all. And it is just a city situation is all.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah.

[Just Hilarious]

So I'll get into it first on front page.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Just Hilarious]

So the devastating situation in Central Texas following this catastrophic flooding event continues to develop. Now, Governor Greg Abbott reports that the death toll remains above 100, with more than 160 people still unaccounted for. Now, speaking from rural hunt western Kerr County, Abbott emphasized that search and rescue efforts or recovery efforts will continue relentlessly until every last person is located. He also addressed the criticism around, you know, those weather warning systems. And here's what he had to say.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Just in the Kerr county area alone, there are 161 people who are known to be missing. To put this into perspective, there are far more fatalities than there were in Hurricane Harvey. My focus isn't on trying to say, oh, you did wrong or you should have done better there. My job is to bring Texas and Texans together.

[Just Hilarious]

So Abbott went on to say that the heart of Texans are breaking every day because of this event. He also took a helicopter tour over the worst affected regions, expressing that he was deeply moved by the extent of the devastation. And he went on to say that President Trump's immediate granting of the majority master declaration has been speeding up recovery efforts. Meanwhile, at the White House yesterday, President Trump held a cabinet meeting and he praised Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem for her response to the flooding event. Now, Trump also told reporters that Noem's response was vital and that she got people there as fast as anyone seen. Noem also spoke about federal resources being used in Texas. Let's take a listen to their comments.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I think a lot of lives have.

[Morgan Wood]

Been saved that could have been as.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Bad as it was and you could have lost double or triple. We deployed, sir, right away, the Coast Guard. We also had some assets out of Customs and Border Protection, our BORTAC Teams went in.

[Just Hilarious]

So Noam also called the flooding a tragedy, especially noting that the little girls, that there were little girls from that camp mystic who passed away as well. She also talked about how she walked through that devastation and walked through those cabins where those girls went missing and where later found dead. She added that the parents who come to the flooding camps are also met with grief counselors. Now, Trump, of course, confirmed he will visit the areas flooded in Central Texas on Friday. And I think it's important to note that as this continues to develop, you know, there's so many people that have been impacted. You know, families have lost their homes, communities shattered and children. There are still people who are missing and the need is urgent. And the Community foundation of Texas Hill country has launched their Kerr County Flood Relief Fund to support those impacted. All donations go through directed, go directly, excuse me, to trusted and vetted organizations that will provide food, shelter, health care and hope. So you can donate to the Kerr County Flood relief fund@community foundation.net that's community foundation.net Switching gears, guys. You see what happened with the Supreme Court yesterday. If you missed it, the Supreme Court will allow the Trump administration to resume plans to carry out mass massive job cuts across federal agencies. So all those job layoffs and stuff that was going on, there was a little pause on that. But the Supreme Court, the highest court in the land, has said, you know what, go on. So Justices.

[Morgan Wood]

DONALD trump, SUPREME Court, though, we noticed.

[Just Hilarious]

Well, yeah, I mean, yeah, he did. He did appoint most of those. But justices lifted the district judge order blocking the large scale federal layoffs that could potentially impact hundreds of thousands of jobs. The Supreme Court said it was not assessing the legality of any specific plans for layoffs at the federal agencies. But President Trump signed an executive order in February directing agencies to prepare for the government overhaul. So expect that if you work for a government agency, there's a possibility that plans could be carried out to incorporate more of those layoffs coming.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So.

[Morgan Wood]

And plans could be laid out to fire you. I want to go back to the, the flooding in Texas. Man, that story hurts my soul.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Morgan Wood]

When I say that story hurts my soul because we all got kids. You're sending your kids off to camp for the summer and then you get some news like that. I feel sorry for those parents. I'm sending healing energy to those parents and I'm praying for the souls of those kids, the ones who passed away and the ones that are still, that are still missing. And you know, I see people pointing the finger. Right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Morgan Wood]

Isn't A flash flood. Sudden.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes.

[Morgan Wood]

So how do you prepare for that?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I mean, you can't. You can't. I mean, they tell you that, you know, it's Mother Nature, so things happen. You don't know how. How crazy it's gonna get, how much, you know, downpour is gonna get. But I will say one thing. I feel like this happens a lot with Mother Nature. Right. It's always flooding. There's always. Especially with flooding and rain. And I feel like they haven't controlled the sewer system yet. Yeah. To. To make sure that the water goes in certain ways. Because we see it all the time. We see it in Jersey, we see it in Atlanta, we see it in. In Texas. But it just seems like the problem, the infrastructure, never gets fixed.

[Just Hilarious]

Yeah, that's.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah.

[Just Hilarious]

Even with this particular situation, this camp was actually located along a riverbed, so the Guadalupe river, but. And just where it was located, it was like in the valley of that bed, very close to the river. So to your point, Envy, it's like, well, what can you do about the infrastructure and what can you do when it comes to you versus Mother Nature?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Prepared.

[Morgan Wood]

Yeah. There's nothing you can do versus you versus Mother Nature. You versus an earthquake, you versus a hurricane, you versus a tornado. I mean, some things you might can prepare for, but that don't mean you're gonna survive it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, I just. We just hear it a lot. We have people's houses getting flooded over and over again, and it just seems like something has to change. Like we know it's gonna happen in certain areas. Sometimes it just happens. There's nothing you can do like it's Mother Nature, but sometimes it's the same areas over and over and over and over again. It just seems like nothing ever fixes. We never fixed it.

[Morgan Wood]

And because of climate change, things have gotten worse. A lot of these storms and these floodings are much, much worse than they were.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's true.

[Just Hilarious]

That is true. Well, if you are moved to donate again, the Kerr County Relief. Excuse me, Kerr County Flood relief fund@community foundation.net I've got more front page news at 7, so stick around, guys.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All right, everybody else, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, phone lines are wide open again. 800-585-1051. It's the breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Get it up. This is your time to get it off your chest. Keep calling 800-585-1051. We want to hear from you on the Breakfast Club. Hello? Who's this? This is Helen. Helen, good morning. Where you calling from? I'm calling from Jacksonville, Florida. Okay, Duvall.

[Morgan Wood]

You going to Duvall Day this Saturday at Moncrie Park?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, I don't do all that. I don't do all that. Like, calm down, please. I don't. I just go to work and I go home. I ain't mad at you. I ain't mad at. I know that's right, Helen.

[Morgan Wood]

I hope they have a good time. I don't do all that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Get off your chest, right? So, boom. I called in because I heard you saying that, you know, people want to compare us to the white man or if it was white. If he was white, it wouldn't be this. It wouldn't be that. We are different because we are the standard. That's why everybody copies everything that we do. That's why every time we do, somebody tried to protect from us, because we're the standard. And they continue to try to push the fight to make us believe that we're not good enough. But we are what should. So we're going to be treated different, period. And I'm gonna leave it right there. Some people will get it. It's gonna go up a lot of people head, but that's okay, because everybody, eyes not open.

[Morgan Wood]

I understand exactly what you're saying. And, you know, if we're to stand it, that means that we always got to submit our will to the God in us. Not submit our will to the devil.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Right? And that's the problem. We have got intertwined with the world. We live in the world, but we're supposed to live separate from the world.

[Morgan Wood]

Man, I'm so glad you said that because it drives me crazy hearing people say things like, you know, we should be able to do what they do. That's not the type of equality I want. If we talking about, you know, just being able to get away with evil.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But yet again, you got to understand, some people will get it and some people won't. It's just not for everybody to understand.

[Morgan Wood]

You're right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Satan was throwing out of heaven, right? He was with God. It's gonna be the same way here on Earth. Some people will be with God, some people gonna be thrown out. It's okay. But the problem is we are the standard. We set the standard in everything. And once we realize that we change our ways, we will cause people to change, to come over to the side that they need to be on. And I'm gonna let that go. Okay, thank you, Helen.

[Morgan Wood]

That's why Helen ain't going to Duvall Day.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She ain't got time for her. She don't do all that. Get it off here chest. 800-585-1051. If you need the event, hit us up now. 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. I hate the way that you walk.

[Morgan Wood]

The way that you talk I hate.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The way that you dress Everything with me is best call up next. 800-5-8,5. 10,5 1. That's just me. I'm with the culture feeling. Hello? Who's this? Melinda? Belinda. That was your dogs in the back.

[Edgar Belonga]

No, that was.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I thought I heard barking.

[Morgan Wood]

That was you coughing. You need to go to the doctor.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Damn. Damn waking, babe. Okay. All right. Well, good morning, Mama. Get it off your chest. Let me tell you something. First and foremost.

[Morgan Wood]

First of all, I am not your baby daddy. So don't be calling every time. But let me tell you something, okay? I don't owe you no money, all right?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

First of all, my baby daddy is in heaven. So second of all, thank you. That's what you get anyway.

[Morgan Wood]

That's what you get, right?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah. Right now, it's like the battle of the females and my family.

[Morgan Wood]

That's why you up smoking weed early in the morning, huh?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Who's the females? Is it your sister or your kids?

[Morgan Wood]

You just said her kids.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, what's. What's your kids doing? What's happening? Let me tell you something. It's like my oldest daughter is trying to bring my youngest daughter to go against me. For what reason? How old are you holding grudges for? Bull. How old are they? 31 and 21.

[Morgan Wood]

Is their father the one that passed away?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes.

[Morgan Wood]

I mean, do you think. And I know that they're both 31 and 21, and that's older, but, you know, grief doesn't ever really go away. Did they ever really get any. Do any grieving behind that situation? No, that could be. It could have something to do with it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But what are they upset about? And that's what I was saying.

[Morgan Wood]

Who.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know, I'd be asking myself, like, maybe if their father or they would have got counseling or something during the time period, maybe you would have helped out.

[Morgan Wood]

I think so. I think that could be part of the issue. I'm not nobody psychiatrist or therapist.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And then you. You could have checked out, too, you know? And it's hard. It's hard to be a parent when you lose a Co parent, you lose your significant other. You know what I'm saying? So you. You could have. You could have subconsciously neglected, you know, one of them or both of them or. You know what I'm saying? And all of y' all hurting from it. You got a point.

[Morgan Wood]

How long has he been gone?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

November 15th year. Wow.

[Morgan Wood]

Yeah. So that's. That's what, more than half their life that they didn't have a father? I mean, that. That could be part of the issue. I don't know.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Did you ask them? Did they tell you what the issue was? No.

[Morgan Wood]

Y' all need to have more communication.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

There's no communication. It's like. It's like a chain bond that won't break.

[Morgan Wood]

Well, you smoking with the wrong person. You need to roll up some zy and go smoke with your daughters and have a conversation.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I know that's right. But they don't smoke.

[Morgan Wood]

Oh, okay.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, wow. The thing about that is. How can I put it? Like, I had moved out of town, and my oldest daughter and my middle daughter, who's 28, was up here only by themselves. That's part of it.

[Morgan Wood]

Oh, so you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

My youngest daughter and my son moved out of town.

[Morgan Wood]

Oh, so they feel like you left them. So father. So daddy gone. He passed away. And they feel like you left. You left him. That's all.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah. You need to talk to them. You need. You maybe need to go get some. Some therapy. Maybe do family therapy, because they were young when that happened, you know, so they just grow up. And it happened in the house.

[Morgan Wood]

Oh, man.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It happened in the house. Well, I'm sorry, mama.

[Morgan Wood]

Yeah. Open up the lines of communication, man. Have a conversation with you, with your babies and apologize. Don't be afraid to apologize if you feel like you did something wrong.

You know, he gave artists some ownership, including J. Cole, Nicki Minaj, Rihanna, and then when he sold the company back in 2021. When sold the company back in 2021, Nicki Minaj had always said that she felt like she wasn't paid out what she should have been paid out. She was only offered a million dollars at the time. So I. And she. And she went on with a bunch of other tweets as well too. She talked about, you know, once she gets the money from Jay Z that he allegedly owes her, she's going to, you know, start a college fund for her fans. She is talking about, you know, being shadow banned and hated on online again. She says if you get a message to post hate or lies today on any platform, I advise you to say no, they won't cover your legal fees. Just today alone, we've added five blogs and five content creators. I hope you got a lot of money saved up. I hope it's worth losing everything, including your account. Because Nicki Minaj has been on X saying that the blogs and online creators don't cover her and Jay Z's back and forth the same way as they do everything else.

[Morgan Wood]

Well, it's not a back and forth.

[DJ Envy]

It's definitely not a back and forth. I was about to. Yeah, it's just been a fourth.

[Morgan Wood]

And I also find that interesting because, you know, I, I see Nikki will amplify stories. And I'll be looking like. I'm like, this is a bogus ass source. It's just a random YouTube account, you know, some. Some fake somebody. Right? She was doing that yesterday.

[DJ Envy]

Oh, she was doing a lot yesterday.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

A fake story.

[DJ Envy]

Well, she was saying something about the.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Lawsuit with Megan with the.

[Morgan Wood]

Oh, no, not that. That's not the one I was talking about.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What are you talking about? It was a lot that she posted yesterday, but Nikki been going in recently, and a lot of the blogs haven't been picking it up because I haven't been seeing it in a lot of places.

[DJ Envy]

And that's how she feels. She feels like blogs and online platforms don't touch what she's saying, and they don't cover all of her words fully because it's Jay Z and Rock Nation.

[Morgan Wood]

Well, I'll tell you this. I have no idea about their. But if someone owed me $200 million, then I would be in court, not on X. And I guarantee you, if she ever took that to court, that would be a huge story.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, I agree. Lauren would get the first. First details as soon as it hit the court.

[DJ Envy]

I would be at court for that. But yeah, she also said that Jay Z, she alleges he ruined hip hop football, basketball, touring, Instagram, Twitter. She said the jig is up. All of this alleged and for entertainment purposes. Purpose purposes only. She wanted to make that clear. She's also saying that Jay Z doesn't stand by black people or alleging that Jay Z doesn't stand by black people the way that he should because he politically doesn't get out there the way that he should because of different business partners that stand next to.

[Morgan Wood]

That's not true. And I guess maybe that's why you don't pay certain things any attention, because when certain things you just know are like, all right, come on, now.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I see what she did there, though.

[Morgan Wood]

But I don't know.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She said he's still in the top five, though. Her top five.

[DJ Envy]

Oh, yeah. I mean, you can. You can't never. I don't think you can ever. You know, Nikki is like a rapper rapper for real. She can't ever deny that. But there's a series of tweets. She also is asking, when did Jay Z ever campaign for Kamala? She says he benefited so much from the party when President Obama gave that speech about the brothers. Why didn't Jigga come out and strongly campaign for the Democratic Party at that time?

[Morgan Wood]

He did campaign for Barack Obama. Crazy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He did for Barack Obama.

[Morgan Wood]

He did A reversal of my president is black. But he. Yeah, he definitely was out there for Barack.

[DJ Envy]

But I think she's talking about.

[Morgan Wood]

He was out there for Hillary Clinton.

[DJ Envy]

But I think she's talking about when Kamala was running and Jay Z. I mean, I. Jay Z and Obama said that thing about black men, and she's saying, why didn't he come out as, like, the spokesperson for black men at that time? Remember when people were upset about Obama and the way that he came at black men and their support for Kamala Harris? She said that because, in her opinion, she did not come out for the brothers. We've been hoodwinked. And she says, you know, bamboozled, basically. There. There's a lot of tweets here. But in summation, she is still very upset at.

[Morgan Wood]

What is this all about, though.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like, that's why I asked her. Listen, where did it come from?

[Morgan Wood]

Maybe I'm bugging. Where did start from? Like, what.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What happened a couple weeks ago with the music Started a long time ago. No, I mean, like, just recent.

[DJ Envy]

Like, being from n. That was a part of it as well. She.

[Morgan Wood]

Jay Z ruin all these sports.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, my God.

[DJ Envy]

Well, you know, she felt like Lil Wayne. She feels like Lil Wayne should have been the performer at the super bowl in New Orleans.

[Morgan Wood]

That is funny as hell. Read that one again. We said.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She did a whole list.

[DJ Envy]

She said, dear Hashtag Jay Z, you ruined hip hop. You ruined football. You ruined basketball. You ruined touring. You ruined Instagram, you ruined Twitter. The jig is up. All of this is alleged and for entertainment purposes only. And she also is saying. She's mentioning Desiree, who is one of Jay Z's.

[Morgan Wood]

You might as well say Jay Z's the head of Doge invaded Jay Z invaded Gaza. You might as well just. Come on, add some more to that. Don't stop there.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, she said. She says there's. There's a lot here, man.

[Morgan Wood]

Jay Z is the reason for processed foods. Okay, there's artificial dyes in the candy. What else?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The Jake is at your. Did not. I heard that, though. I heard he was the reason for Essence Festival this weekend.

[DJ Envy]

She's gonna be tweeting about us, and I didn't even get to do my makeup this morning. She gonna post this. She's gonna be mad at y'.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All. She's already mad at us. She's already mad at us.

[DJ Envy]

She is gonna be mad. But, yeah, she says that black people have been hoodwinked, winked by Jay Z, that he is not what we think that he is in Summation, politically, sports wise and music wise.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm mad with Jay did the essence, though. He shouldn't have did that. The essence, man, There's a bunch of black people.

[Morgan Wood]

I just think that when you criticize somebody for what they are doing or haven't done for a community, whatever her argument is, you have to be doing equal or more. Because that would be my question, right?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Morgan Wood]

Well, if I'm not doing anything, then what are you doing?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But this is coming from a personal place, though. This is. This is a personal.

[Morgan Wood]

I just got just a simple question. If I'm not doing anything, even though I know I'm doing a whole lot, what are you doing?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Correct. But this is personal. This is. She's mad that, you know, the whole super bowl thing is she's standing up for Wayne, she's standing up for her stuff. Like, this is personal.

[Morgan Wood]

You remember when it was. It was. We had that. It was the thing in Roc Nation when Roger Goodell and everybody was there. I was in the room for that. And remember when Jay Z was like, I can point to everything that I've done. I could tell you about the people I've helped, the charities I've given to, blah, blah, blah, this and that, you gotta lay your list out. If you telling me that I don't do nothing, if you telling me that I don't show up for my community, now you gotta lay your list out.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Now look, going back to the super bowl thing, is it possible that it was told to Wayne that he was gonna do the super bowl and then last minute it was like, nah, we gonna give it to homie, we gonna give it to kid.

[DJ Envy]

I haven't heard that. And Lil Wayne and Nicki Minaj have been yelling from the mountains high about that. So I don't, I don't. I don't know the answer to your question.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I think they said it was assumed because it wasn' Think it was.

[DJ Envy]

We all thought that and it was assuming.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm just talking about more than assume. Like more than just assuming it wasn't, you know, Cuz the way, the way they was acting about it is like, yo, y' all may have been told that. I don't know.

[Morgan Wood]

Well, that's also a level of entitlement too.

[DJ Envy]

She said also too, that the Democrats attacked her over her cousin's testicles.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh my God. What?

[DJ Envy]

And she said, let's see if they have anything. Y' all don't remember when she said that? Remember she was talking about the COVID vaccine and she was saying that she had a cousin.

[Morgan Wood]

Her cousin's friend say that?

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, she said that she had her. She had a cousin's friend who took the COVID vaccine and became like he couldn't reach.

[Morgan Wood]

Oh, no, I remember that.

[DJ Envy]

I do remember that. And people got on her about that and she was like, y' all attack me over that. Why don't y'?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All?

[DJ Envy]

Let's see if they have any thoughts on brother billionaire. She's talking about Jay Z never campaigning for Kamala after Obama pleaded with the brothers. Isn't she didn't campaign for Kamala.

[Morgan Wood]

My thing is you can't accuse somebody of doing some of not doing something that you didn't even do. She didn't. Who would she ever campaign for? I'm just asking questions here, people. I'm not accusing Nikki or nothing. I'm just asking obvious questions. Questions. I ain't never seen her campaign for nobody.

[DJ Envy]

Nikki crazy. She said, if the top brother in charge can leave y' all hanging without repercussions, then may everyone else leave you hanging as well. Hanging like my cousin's friends. Testicles wrapping up.

[Morgan Wood]

[DJ Envy]

You, us, we together.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Me and Charlamagne already got shot at before, so you up next.

[DJ Envy]

I'm just reading the tweets.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All right. It's the Breakfast Club of the morning.

[Morgan Wood]

You're checking out the Breakfast Club.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

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

[Just Hilarious]

Yeah, let's talk about what's happening in international news. So President Trump is expressing his unhappiness with Russian President Vladimir Putin. While speaking to his cabinet yesterday at the White House, Trump told reporters the war in Ukraine is causing thousands of deaths. Let's take a listen to his comments.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

President TRUMP I'm not happy with Putin, I can tell you that much right now because he's killing a lot of.

[Morgan Wood]

People and a lot of them are his soldiers.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

His soldiers.

[Morgan Wood]

Soldiers and their soldiers mostly.

[Just Hilarious]

So this comes as President Trump has been trying to hammer out a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine and lately has put most of the blame for the continued fighting on Putin. Now, according to those comments, Trump indicated that Russia's military took on a lot of casualties. And BBC News reports that estimates for Russian military casualties range from 195, 500,000 to maybe 274, 580,000 killed as of June 12, 2025. But the BBC news also indicates that those number of casualties could be even higher because they're not, well, at least they're not releasing the they believe that Russia is not releasing the correct numbers out of that region anyways, whether it be on civilian casualties or military casualties elsewhere. On the international front, President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met again Yesterday in Washington, D.C. tRUMP they are going, they spoke exclusively about the war in Gaza. The president said they got to get that solved, adding that Steve Witkoff, his special envoy, said they're hopeful to have an agreement to a 60 day cease fire by the end of the week. Now Wyckoff said it would include the release of 10 live hostages by Hamas as well as the return of the bodies of nine hostages as well. So that's what's happening on the international front. Meanwhile, here at home, let's take it to California. On the West Coast, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and California Governor Gavin Newsom are condemning an armed deployment of federal immigration agents in Los Angeles historic MacArthur Park. Now, federal agents and military vehicles descended on the park earlier this week, but details as to why were not immediately made available. Mayor Bass, who came to the park as soon as she heard the news spread, called the situation absolutely outrageous. Let's take a listen to her comments.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

To me, this is another example of the administration ratcheting up chaos by deploying what looked like a military operation in an American city. I could see a helicopter in the air. I think it was a Black Hawk helicopter and I saw military tanks. It was the custom and Border Patrol and it might have been been military on the periphery.

[Just Hilarious]

So she said that it hits part of a political agenda of provoking fear and terror. While California Governor Gavin Newsome says also he also claims the operation was politically motivated and disruptive to one of Los Angeles most vulnerable communities. I think this is important to pay attention to because there has been an increase in ICE raids across the country, not only in la, but also in New Jersey, Texas and even here in the DMV, D.C. maryland, Virginia area. And if just switching gears, if you're catching a flight soon, the TSA is ending its shoe removal policy at some airport security checkpoints.

[Morgan Wood]

I don't like that. I pay for TSA PreCheck. Okay, all right. What am I paying for TSA precheck for? If I If everybody get to keep their shoes on now, that is not.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The only thing that you can't keep your laptop in your bag. It's your shoes in your laptop.

[Morgan Wood]

I'm barely traveling with my lap laptop.

[DJ Envy]

I was gonna say.

[Just Hilarious]

My friend said the same thing Charlotte B. Is saying, but. According to multiple reports, the agency sent an internal memo to security officers about testing the new policy and a soft launch at security checkpoint. Several locations where shoes will no longer need to come off include Baltimore, Washington International Airport, that's VWI here. New York's LaGuardia, LAX, Philadelphia International, and Fort Lauderdale International Airport. And this is effective immediately. So if you got a flight going out today, you know, lucky you, you get to save your socks. But TSA is exploring new and innovative ways. This is what the agency said. They're exploring new and innovative ways to enhance the passenger experience. I'm. I'm not sure what that means for you though, Mr. Charlemagne.

[Morgan Wood]

Well, I could, I could tell. I could tell them what it means. All we pay for these things just because we trying to get through security.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Faster and they keep adding things. So at first it was pre checked, it was clear. They have digital ideas. I got all three.

[Morgan Wood]

I got both. So it's like for me, I just want my, my, I want my, my. I want it to be expedited. I want to get through there fast. That's it. Yep, that's it.

[Just Hilarious]

But do you think flying down is over? Over as down overall, considering all of what's going on? And so maybe there may be, you know, in the. I don't know how to put it, but in the grand scheme of things, maybe that those who have the TSA preacher. I don't know how to put it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

If everybody can get it, everybody. I'm just about to start going through the regular line again because everybody got clear. Everybody got TSA PreCheck, everybody got the digital ID crap. So it's like. But you fly every weekend like I do every week. It is. The airports don't be packed like that anymore. No, no, no. There's also not a lot of flights going out either.

[Just Hilarious]

Yeah, exactly. That's essentially what I'm getting at, is that flights are down. Airports, people aren't traveling as much. They ain't got it. You know what I'm saying?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So they trying to make it an experience where I buy a book just. Just because I can keep my shoes on, I'm gonna go fly out.

[Just Hilarious]

I mean, try anything and see what sticks. Right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know, but that's your front page.

We have Tisha Campbell and Melissa, the Sosa Operation Aunties. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, my God.

[Morgan Wood]

It's safe to say the term auntie doesn't bother either one of y'.

[Tisha Campbell]

All. It doesn't bother me.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What about you? I mean, you know.

[Tisha Campbell]

No, no. I mean, I'm an aunt in real life, so, you know, it's a respect.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Thing there, and I like that about it.

[Tisha Campbell]

I didn't like at first, like when you're, like, a certain age and you're.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Doing a beautiful picture. Oh, go ahead, Auntie.

[Tisha Campbell]

It's taking it away.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's like, okay, you okay, Auntie?

[Tisha Campbell]

Trying to be sexy.

[Morgan Wood]

Trying to be cute.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's too late for you, but go ahead, girl.

[Tisha Campbell]

You know, it's too late for you. Is it too late?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I mean, that's what it felt like. That's how they were saying it felt.

[DJ Envy]

Like you have an ass.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But I had to let it go, you know? I mean, because I'm doing a movie with the title. So I was like, oh, yeah. It's a thing of honor. Yes.

[Tisha Campbell]

It's enduring.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes, it is. It is.

[Tisha Campbell]

You know, I like being an auntie.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, I do. Now, Tisha, were you at Essence this weekend?

[Tisha Campbell]

I was.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

A friend of mine was. So, no, no. He ain't seen me doing anything simple. But he's a little younger, and he was. So when he got back to the hotel. Cause we went out late. I didn't go to the show. But he seen you at the show, and he was like, guess who I was standing next to? I'm like, who? He was like, tisha Campbell. He was like, auntie was looking amazing.

[Tisha Campbell]

I still like it. I still like it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I said, did you Holler. He said, I try to flirt a little bit, but she wasn't.

[DJ Envy]

Makeover had him.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Would you have got. I just saw Melissa, and auntie was looking good. I wanted to get a number, everything.

[Tisha Campbell]

No, no, listen, I'm fine with it now. I'm saying at first, it was really just used to, like, take back what someone was trying to do at a certain age. You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But now it's, you know, they're turning.

[Tisha Campbell]

It around, like, drunk.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know what I'm saying?

[Tisha Campbell]

So now I don't think it's endurance. I love being able to be somebody's aunt. Of course, you know, somebody had a choice. Somebody respect. I don't.

[Morgan Wood]

Did you complain about the title of the TV of the movie when you first saw it?

[Tisha Campbell]

Oh, God, no.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, I was. Look, I gotta work. Oh, yeah, I like the title.

[Tisha Campbell]

It's great.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know, before we get to the movie. So does your son love the skits that you do with him online? I know he'd be watching. He'd be like, ma, you embarrassing the hell out of me.

[Tisha Campbell]

No, they absolutely love, like, getting there is not fun. Like, guys, y' all want to post, but once we're in it, we're having so much fun, and it's time for me to, like, spend time with my kids. But honestly, I was very, very, like, protective of my children, especially the one that's on the spectrum. And I didn't know whether this would be a good thing. But once love on the spectrum and the way that people embrace them, it just changed everything for me. And I was like, well, maybe it'll give him confidence. It gives him so much confidence, y'.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All.

[Tisha Campbell]

Now it's. He's like. He likes when people, like, recognize him now, and he thinks he's funny, but I'll be like, I edit you funny. Stop playing. Stop playing. They're not toys.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

They are not toys.

[Tisha Campbell]

They're not toys. But I really enjoy it now. I love it. And he's excited about it. As a matter of fact, we saw Chrisette Michelle at Essence, and it took her a second to come over to me, and she was like, I'm such a fan of Zen. And I thought that was so dope. You know, she had just come out and talked about her own experience and challenges, and so I thought, yo, that is so dope. And we had a wonderful talk about it and what it's doing for his confidence. Yeah, so it's dope.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's funny that you Say love on the spectrum. When I first saw. I didn't know if I. If I should be enjoying watching it or not. That was so good. Why would you enjoy it? But it's like. It's just a different type of show. I love it.

[Morgan Wood]

What's different about it? It's just two people in love.

[Tisha Campbell]

But. But, no, but you know what? It's different because of the way that they love.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

They love.

[Tisha Campbell]

They tell you exactly what they want, and that's how my son is like, you know, I just want him to find somebody. That's all right. We gonna find somebody for him.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

There you go.

[Tisha Campbell]

We gonna put out a call.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, the film that y' all are here for, Operation Aunties, how was it working together?

[Tisha Campbell]

Oh, I love working with this one. We're both leaving, so it's like. I mean, we met years and years ago.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We just never worked together. I love her work, and I love everything she's done in her career. So I. We just. It was like we were sisters at birth, you know?

[Tisha Campbell]

Well, you know, it was directed by Wenda Raquel.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I know her.

[Tisha Campbell]

Known her since the 90s. Worked on Martin together and everything. But she. I knew I wanted to do it with her because I've always wanted to work with her. And then once she came on, I was like, oh, that's icing on the cake. So it's a. It's a. It's a great movie. We had a good time. It's a. It's like a cyber crime. We're giving you a little bit. It's all the things. It's all the.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And I love how it has, like, a message, basically. Basically that without telling the movie, y' all are, like, exposing the black market.

[Tisha Campbell]

Of, like, sex trafficking and everything.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's really heavy. Heavy in this climate right now. And it's.

[Tisha Campbell]

It's interesting to. To see black women in their greatness as well. Like, we are intelligent.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Tisha Campbell]

She plays a professor and a tech genius. And a tech genius.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So it's nice so far from that.

[Tisha Campbell]

In that realm, too.

[DJ Envy]

And y' all don't run away from those. That. That. Those traits in the movies. Like, y' all are really strong. Y' all are like. How important was that to display on camera for y' all in this movie?

[Tisha Campbell]

Well, really important, because the whole thing is.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, am I giving away storyline?

[Tisha Campbell]

No, no, no, go for it. You know, we're taking them down.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know what I'm saying?

[Tisha Campbell]

So. And not only that, but it was. Someone I loved almost got assaulted, so.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It was like, look, we police. We can't.

[Tisha Campbell]

Can't wait.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know what I'm saying?

[Tisha Campbell]

So. And I had the technology, which. I like that part.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like, look, I'm still trying to learn how to work my iPhone, but this character, you know, she's a tech genius, and she's really smart. I love that.

[Tisha Campbell]

And then Tisha is a retired detective.

[DJ Envy]

Right.

[Tisha Campbell]

Who comes back. I just like that we came together to bring this.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Bring these people down. So, yeah, we had to be strong.

[Tisha Campbell]

I mean, and Amaya Scott plays her niece. So it's really nice.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Amazing.

[Morgan Wood]

Okay, did you have to develop, like, any special. Special rituals or inside jokes to, like, build it, Build the chemistry?

[Tisha Campbell]

No, it kind of came naturally. She's always been funny, and we clicked immediately. We had one meeting right before we started working, and that was it. We knew we were gonna have a good time.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah. Was it ever. Any part? I mean, because it was still, like, humorous as well to me. But was it ever challenging? Because this is like a real life thing that women go through every day. Young women, children, you.

[Tisha Campbell]

Well, Tisha really went there on one.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Of the scenes where something happens and then something happens. And I was.

[Tisha Campbell]

At a lot of times, I was like, okay, I'll say it.

[DJ Envy]

Okay.

[Tisha Campbell]

No, no. You know what? A lot of. So I was like, okay, let me do comedy. And they forget that I come from a dramatic place. So I'm able to do a lot of things in this. Able to, you know, bring the drama and bring the comedy and. And then I support her. And just from my background, just as.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well as yours, you know, I was.

[Tisha Campbell]

Like, let's improv a little bit before we do this scene. Because the scene comes in hot.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Tisha Campbell]

So I was like, let's improv outside before we go inside and bring it inside. Which really helped drive the scene because we were already in the middle of something coming in.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah. So we just played.

[Tisha Campbell]

You know what I mean? And it was easy. Yeah, it was real easy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We're still kicking it with Tisha Campbell and Melissa De Souza. Their new movie, Operation aunties, comes out July 11th 11th. Do y' all get stuck on the way movies are released now, or do y' all not mind, like, as far as streamings? Yeah. Big releases, whether it's Netflix or Box Office. Do y' all get stuck on that or not too much? I don't.

[Tisha Campbell]

You know, the work is the work.

[Morgan Wood]

Check is a check.

[DJ Envy]

The check is a check. Yeah, yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I mean, it's something you gotta work out in your contract. It's like, if it's not going to.

[Tisha Campbell]

Be released in a.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know, in a theater, you know, whatever. I mean, it's not. We're not doing Mission Impossible right now.

[Tisha Campbell]

But you know what I mean, it makes a difference when it's those kind of films.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm sure that's why they beef about that. But you know, we got to go with the time. I mean, this.

[Tisha Campbell]

That's just what happens.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You got a choice. Yeah.

[Tisha Campbell]

You just have to evolve. Even, you know, incorporating social media. It's your own publicist. You're your own publicist. It's very true. You have to do it. You have to evolve. And that's the one thing that I know, you know, getting. Being in this business for 54 years now you have to continue.

[Morgan Wood]

Don't whisper that.

[Tisha Campbell]

54 years.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Thank you.

[Tisha Campbell]

I've been doing this for five decades. No, but doing it for as long as I have. You have to reinvent yourself and reinvent yourself and you have to go with the times. So you can't. If you fight it, that's your ass.

[Morgan Wood]

But you also timeless though. Like when you see people like Kai Sinata and Drew Ski at the BET and the ones flipping out cause they saw you, that lets you know how timeless you are.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah. Thank you.

[Morgan Wood]

I would think so.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Thank you for that. Thanks, girl. I've been with you since before Little Shop of Horror.

[Tisha Campbell]

No, I used to watch your post.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like, what?

[Tisha Campbell]

I loved your post.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Listen, Gina did it first.

[Morgan Wood]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Period. Always been a fan. So I love it. I love even seeing this film as well. Is it. Was it purpose though? Right? Like, was it on purpose that y' all really didn't go into Amaya's character? Right. So that was on purpose.

[Tisha Campbell]

On purpose that we didn't call her Tran in the movie.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah.

[Tisha Campbell]

Yes. And she talks about it herself, but. And it's better when she does, cuz she loves the fact that she was just a person.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Tisha Campbell]

In the film and not anything else. So. Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

She.

[Tisha Campbell]

She purposefully did that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah. Wrote that.

[Tisha Campbell]

Wrote it that way. Teaching J. Ali wrote it that way.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And I love that even in the film, like she had said, my aunt has been with me since the beginning. You know what I mean? So it was good. It was a level of support and love there and just bringing awareness to that. You know what I mean? Because that's absolutely relatable.

[DJ Envy]

There's a lot of sisterhood moments throughout the movie, but in real life, I was watching or reading something about Gabrielle Union at the Black Film Festival in Florida. She talked about how you saved her life because you. Just because of your relationship. And you saw her. You really saw her.

[Tisha Campbell]

It wasn't even that. It was more that when I first saw her coming into the business, I knew she was going to be great. And so in seeing that, I said, listen, Gab, this business got a lot of ups and downs. So let me pay for your first 10 therapy sessions.

[Morgan Wood]

Wow.

[Tisha Campbell]

So that you can get yourself into a good place and be, in a sense, a safe space. Because there's. It's ugly out there. It's uglier than you think. And I just wanted her to be. I just wanted to support however I could. Cause I knew she was gonna be great.

[Morgan Wood]

And when Was this? The 90s? Early 2000s.

[Tisha Campbell]

Early 2000s.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Wow.

[DJ Envy]

It was before she was even big.

[Tisha Campbell]

She was making a name for herself. She was out there. She was not the Gabrielle Union that we know of today, but she was still doing a lot of stuff. And when I see somebody that is going to be in this business, it's just. It's a lot. It can be a lot. And y' all see the ups and downs. Y' all talk about it every single day. I just love to support my sisters in this, you know, And I grew up like that with Tashina, and, you know. You know, that's how we are.

[Morgan Wood]

Who introduced you to therapy?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah. I was gonna say. Yeah. What got you into that headspace?

[Morgan Wood]

Who told you, you know what? You should go to therapy? Because this business is hard. Because that's a great.

[Tisha Campbell]

Nobody told me that.

[Morgan Wood]

Okay.

[Tisha Campbell]

I had to figure that out. And that was in the 90s. I started figuring out, oh, you know what? Sorry, let me take that back. It was my acting coach, actually. His name is Howard.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Fine.

[Tisha Campbell]

I started going to him at 18 years old. Yeah, we love Howard. So Howard was always like, listen, I'm not your therapist. I think you have to always do two things. You have to seek therapy. Because what we do is not. It's not healthy to a certain extent, like most people, when you're crying or when you're dealing with certain things, you stay away from it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You.

[Tisha Campbell]

But we embrace it and we use it for our job. Right. So he said, you have to do therapy and you have to do charity work because you have to get outside of yourself and not look at, like, you know.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Tisha Campbell]

You get outside of yourself.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Tisha Campbell]

And you're not the end all, be all. And there are things that are bigger than you.

[Morgan Wood]

I agree.

[Tisha Campbell]

So that's what he always instilled in me. And so since 18 years old, I.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Started going to therapy.

[DJ Envy]

That's amazing, because she. We talked about that too. Just like from you learning how to decentralize herself to give to other people.

[Tisha Campbell]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[DJ Envy]

People don't just do that for no reason like that.

[Tisha Campbell]

No, I want people to win. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I want people to win. I want us all to win. You know, and it may not be on. It may be on different levels, but, you know, let's do it the most healthy way we possibly can.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah. Yeah. Oh. Oh, I'm sorry.

[Morgan Wood]

Go ahead. No, I was just gonna say. So how did that help you? Because, you know, you went through a divorce, and if I read correctly, this is. You had $7 left. Your name is. That's.

[Tisha Campbell]

That's true, actually. No. The story was I had $21 in my pocket, and a knife cost $7, and I wanted to pay for the knife, but it was Christmas, and I had a choice to try to get some extra toys for my kids at the. The Rite Aid or something.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Morgan Wood]

So how did that work that you had done early on on yourself help you in that moment?

[Tisha Campbell]

Well, I believe that I always had really good relationships, and I forged really good relationships. And the one thing that I held onto right there was what God gave me. And what God gave me was my talent and my ability to reach people and to have good relationships. It was the one thing nobody could take away. And so with therapy, that's how I. And really good friends and weeding out all the others, I really. I like. I'm here today, and I'm really happy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Wow, you look happy. You come in glowing. Beautiful.

[Morgan Wood]

Are you back up now, or did Melissa have to pay for that Starbucks?

[Tisha Campbell]

I believe it was her publicist that paid for my Starbucks today, but we good now.

[DJ Envy]

The publicist came in with flowers. Y' all got great publicist.

[Tisha Campbell]

Yeah, my publicist.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's my girls.

[Tisha Campbell]

If you want to pay for my.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Therapy, I'm open to that. I will. Okay.

[Morgan Wood]

You ain't never working with me. No therapy.

[Tisha Campbell]

Your problem.

[DJ Envy]

I have a question for you, though, because I know during that time that he was just talking about with the divorce you got, you were going through a lot of financial. You just talked about that, right? There was the bankruptcy that you guys finally closed. I think that was like six months ago, right? In your healing journey, do things like that, like closing the case and being able to move on actually help you to move on or. No, because you still have to.

[Tisha Campbell]

No, I think it's a lifetime of stuff, and I don't really understand how we went through the bankruptcy, honestly, but.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But.

[Tisha Campbell]

I was kind of separated from it, so I don't really know how we got through it, but it really is just taking yourself outside of it and keeping moving forward. I just move forward. I got kids, man. I got two kids. One has adhd, the other one got autism. Two separate issues, and I just keep moving forward.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You still got a career. You still got other things that you have to do.

[Tisha Campbell]

Yes. You know, I can't look for backwards. I can't.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Tisha Campbell]

So I just don't.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It has to be difficult, too, because since you're such a celebrity, such a face on television, people don't understand what you go through. They be like, nah, she got it. I just seen the one tv. She got it. I just seen another replay.

[DJ Envy]

Like, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I know you had to deal with that. That had to be difficult.

[Tisha Campbell]

Not really. I don't really pay attention to the crowd noise. I can't. I can't afford it. And the way that I look at life, it's like a football game. Like, whoever's on the field running with me and got that ball with me or running the field with me, I'm good. I don't pay attention to the cheerleaders. Those. I don't pay attention to the crowd noise. Cause they're there. That's their job. To boo and to cheer. So I can't pay attention to any of it. I have to just block it out and keep moving forward.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We're still kicking it with Tisha Campbell and Melissa de Souza. Their new movie Operation aunties, comes out July 11th.

[DJ Envy]

Lauren, you talked about your mommy makeover. I did. BET Awards. What was your decision to open up about that? Why?

[Tisha Campbell]

It was the deal that I made with Cosmic Hair. I. I sat down with them, and I was like, I have to be honest with my stuff. And really, let me tell you what. It actually came up because sometimes I just say my kids and I needed a mommy makeover, but I have sarcoidosis, or was diagnosed with sarcoidosis, which is a genetic lung disorder. Right. And so they put you on a lot of steroids. And after I lost the weight in a healthy way, it took a long time, but it left me with a lot of extra meat down there. So I was like, you know what? It's time for a mommy makeover. I got me a nice tummy tuck. I got.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And lift. And lift it.

[Tisha Campbell]

I got some lift, right?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So.

[Tisha Campbell]

So that's why I. I, you know, and I'm. I'M an open book. So I wanted to talk about it because a mommy makeover isn't for everybody, but it was for me at that moment, and I wanted to feel good.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

About myself and baby. That burgundy.

[DJ Envy]

Thanksgiving marvel. You also said then, too, that you weren't dating right now because you just. It's still the same. Yeah, because the mommy makeover. Look, the friends is trying to stand next to you at the concert.

[Tisha Campbell]

I like being by myself.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We got some young guys for you. Some young.

[Tisha Campbell]

I don't want hit, baby. I saw that hit on me as 21 year olds. Anyway, I don't want hit.

[DJ Envy]

It's giving one waist.

[Tisha Campbell]

Yeah, okay.

[DJ Envy]

For me.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm good.

[Tisha Campbell]

I want no haps. I love this feel.

[DJ Envy]

That's right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes.

[Tisha Campbell]

I don't have to talk.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No.

[DJ Envy]

Well, you see, I like the spirit. Is there a timeline on that for me? Like, is.

[Tisha Campbell]

There ain't no timeline. Listen, if I need a situationship, I'll give me a situationship. Listen, Auntie, you know, she gonna do what she gonna do, but don't do.

[Morgan Wood]

It with the young. They like to pull out cameras.

[Tisha Campbell]

Oh, see, that's that bull.

[Morgan Wood]

That's what I'm saying. Exactly.

[Tisha Campbell]

That's why I'm not messing with them. You got to be careful just even.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Talking to someone on the phone. You don't know who's recording what. Just.

[Tisha Campbell]

And you know what? If you don't want somebody to know.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Something or hear something, just don't say it. You know, you really have to be careful these days. You just. Everybody. That's the new thing. Let.

[Tisha Campbell]

Let me record whoever and make some money off of that later.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Let me just.

[Tisha Campbell]

Let me just put that in the.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Library, in the vault, and I'm gonna bring it out 10 years later.

[Tisha Campbell]

Later, when you ain't got no money.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know what I'm saying?

[DJ Envy]

My friend told me.

[Tisha Campbell]

She was like, you know, Tisha, you're not marriage material. And I was like, oh, my God, I'm so marriage material.

[Morgan Wood]

She know you better than nothing.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Why you say that?

[Tisha Campbell]

She said that because she was like, guys just want to mess with Gina. They don't want to, you know, right now, that's all they see. They want to be with Gina. They don't want to be with you. And I was like, oh, that's mess.

[Morgan Wood]

I don't believe that, though.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Maybe.

[Morgan Wood]

Maybe the young boys. I can see the young boys. Young boys, like, yo, guess why I just put Gina like.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know what I mean?

[Morgan Wood]

But that not. I can't see nobody grown you would.

[DJ Envy]

Know better than us. So.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, they do.

[DJ Envy]

Is that what is people approaching about Gina?

[Tisha Campbell]

Because I listen when people flirt with me. I get. I get nervous anyway, because, listen, let me tell you because I was in a 27 year relationship marriage community. So I don't know nothing about unfangled anything. So. Yeah. Oh, I have you in my stand up back. I'm doing stand up now too.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes, I am. About time. Yes, I do.

[Tisha Campbell]

I talk about something that a moment we had on the game show. Yes. I'll tell you later.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Don't try to think. I know what you say. Was it long?

[Morgan Wood]

Okay, I want to hear that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It was funny.

[Tisha Campbell]

It was funny.

[Morgan Wood]

So your DMs is popping.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So the young boys are all over your dm.

[Tisha Campbell]

Yeah, I want to see that.

[Morgan Wood]

Stay away from them.

[Tisha Campbell]

I'm not. I'm not.

[Morgan Wood]

I am. Yes.

[Tisha Campbell]

I'm staying away from it all.

[Morgan Wood]

Have you on the gram now.

[DJ Envy]

So that video, you moving them hips and that, that dance video that went viral.

[Tisha Campbell]

What dance video?

[DJ Envy]

You didn't see the video yet?

[Tisha Campbell]

What happened?

[DJ Envy]

It was a good video. It was a good video. You were just dancing and enjoying your time. But like, you was. You was having a good time.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She was getting hitting it.

[Tisha Campbell]

Oh, no, that was doing house music. Yeah, but Johnny. Oh, thank you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah. Jesus Christ. They got to go. Everybody just. They just think I'm Shelby and real.

[Tisha Campbell]

They just.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I. It won't go away.

[Morgan Wood]

But then they.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But we love Shelby. They're like scared.

[Tisha Campbell]

But they want it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But they're scared or they think I'm.

[Tisha Campbell]

Going to be mean.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

They don't approach you.

[DJ Envy]

Oh, God.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All the time. Yeah, that's the first thing that comes out of there. Oh, they're calling me that shall be on the street.

[Tisha Campbell]

You know what I mean?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But whenever they meet me, they're like.

[Tisha Campbell]

Oh, my God, you're so nice.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know what I mean? They just expect me to be that feisty.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

They can't separate it. She's a great actress because that. That's what that means. Look, speaking of that, Heather Burns said that she would be down for Ms. Congeniality 3. Oh, yeah. So would I. If you come down to you. That was one of the best experiences.

[Tisha Campbell]

Of my career and it was very.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Early on and it. It just shows. Like, Cassandra Bullock is just the nicest person. And the people I was working with, they were just all kind and, you know, you. You don't really. We were down there for like three months and we were all young and we. And we all got along and it was such a nice experience and we had so much fun.

[Tisha Campbell]

But I would totally want to do a third one.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I mean, you know, if they come up with a story, I look, I'm ready. Yeah, it was fun. I would love to do that. We need that.

[Morgan Wood]

Is it true, Tisha, you just started watching Martin five years ago?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Crazy. Yes.

[Tisha Campbell]

Because a lot of the millennials and the Gen Z's that are just kind of getting to know it, they quote in me. I don't know what the they talking about.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like, what?

[Tisha Campbell]

No, but, but that was like in the 90s. That was 30 something years ago. But so that you have some like, content.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Jesus Christ. That was 30 years ago.

[Tisha Campbell]

That was 30 years ago.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's crazy.

[Tisha Campbell]

But like, if. So that you have content. Like I said, like me and Tichina, we grew up as Broadway kids. And you're only as good as your last job. So we don't again, we don't look backwards. We're not in the present. We're always looking at what's the next gig. So it trained us not to watch our own work. So I don't watch my own work. My kids never watch my work unless somebody snuck it to them. That's why my youngest calls me Gina. He don't call me mommy. He don't call me mommy. If you call me Mommy, it's something wrong. But that's another reason why I never watched the Martin show, but because people kept quoting at me. Like my friend, she kept saying, look at the white shoes. Look at the white shoes. I was like, what are you talking about? She was like, that's for Martin. Look at the Jerome and look at the white shoes. And I was like, that was an inside joke that nobody was supposed to know. Cause Martin would never let us see his outfits for Jerome o Shanane. And so when he came through the door and ooh, ooh. He was like, look at the white shoes. He was telling me and Tichina to look at the white shoes, not our characters. But it became like this thing that we didn't know it was. So because they kept quoting stuff at me, I started working watching it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So you never watch my wife and kids either?

[Tisha Campbell]

No, I. My kids don't like watching it. Cuz they say I yell at those kids. Like I yell at them.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Okay, it's triggering. Oh my God.

[Tisha Campbell]

They let me watch it. So they're like, ain't no, no, that's too much. They look at it like this.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's hilarious.

[Morgan Wood]

And I love what you and Melissa have with Operation Aunties. But I really want to see you and Tashina do something. Some type of of buddy comedy. Oh man, you know what I'm saying? Because it's like there's nobody representing for.

[Tisha Campbell]

Our age group, things are happening.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

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

[DJ Envy]

Left a woman behind to drown.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

There's a famous headline, I think in the New York Daily News.

[DJ Envy]

It's Teddy escapes Blonder. And in a strange way, right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That sort of tells you the story really became about Ted's political future, Ted's political hopes. Will Ted become President? Kappaquiddick is a story of a tragic death and how the Kennedy machine took control. And he's not the only Kennedy to survive a scandal.

All right. Operation A comes out on the 11th. We appreciate. Thank you for joining us. Thank you so much. It's the Breakfast Club. Good Morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy Jess. Hilarious Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to the latest with Lauren. Lauren becoming a straight fat. She gets him from somebody that knows somebody.

[Morgan Wood]

She gets the details.

[DJ Envy]

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

[Morgan Wood]

She be having the latest on the.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Latest with Large larosa.

[Morgan Wood]

Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details. Sometimes you have a little bit of everything. Oh, it's the latest on the Breakfast Club.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Talk to me.

[DJ Envy]

So yesterday in court. This will be real quick because court was real quick. I didn't even make it by the time. It was like seven to 10 minutes long, if that. They adjourned and decided that Diddy's sentencing date will be kept at October 3rd. Originally, as we talked about last week, Diddy's team was pushing for it to be expedited. And in a letter to the court, they had asked for September 27, second date. But then they wrote another letter to the court saying that they're just conceding and they're going to be okay with the original October 3rd date proposed by the court.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So was Diddy in court yesterday?

[DJ Envy]

It was virtual. So they were all. It was all virtual. They were all. Via zoom. It literally was him, his attorney, a deputy for the court, the prosecutors, of course. And it was really, really quick. Like, it was just like, hey, we have the letters. Here they are. Is there anything outside of the letters? No. Court adjourned.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So you was going to court. You said you were going to court yesterday. You were going to go all the way down there for virtual.

[DJ Envy]

Because you can hear. And sometimes you'll hear things that, like the. The court reporters won't tweet or they don't tweet all the way because they're tweeting fast. Or the minutes might have it, but you hear it differently in person. I like to hear it in person. It's like watching a show versus reading captions for a show. Yes. So that is that and the reasoning. I know a lot of people are probably wondering why they decided not to. Because that push was like, hey, we want this to be sooner because it's fresh in a judge's mind. We think we'll get some leniency if so. So people are probably wondering why they decided to go with October 3rd date. You can infer from the conversation. They had the data, he was denied bond, that the. They probably thought that the judge wouldn't be with it because the judge agreed that Diddy should not have any bond because of what the prosecutors came down and said, they say, look, this is not exceptional. There's nothing exceptional about him except for, you know, the, the crimes that he's openly committed. Even knowing that the government had eyes on him, he does not care for the law. He is definitely a flight risk. He is a powerful man who does basically has no constraints. And they tried to bring in the fact that like, you know, Kim Porter passed away and his children don't have anybody. Like, they want to be with their daddy. They should be with their dad at least until he's sentenced. And the government was not going for that. Like USA A, USA Comey ripped Diddy to shreds in front of the judge. And Diddy's attorney had to stand up and say, look, this is why we, we're lucky that we have jurors, because she went off. The judge agreed with it though. Did he still it locked up until his sentencing October 3rd.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Okay, okay.

[Morgan Wood]

I understand kids need their parents. I completely understand that. And that's why as a parent, when, you know, you have kids, you should move a certain way because anything that you do directly impacts them and can take you out of their lives in, in a split second.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And I'm also sure they said, you know, the same person that watched them the last 10 months will be watching them until October 3rd. I'm sure they said that as well. So.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, I mean, this is one of the things we talked about yesterday.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's like, still sad though. But, you know, like you said, decisions.

[DJ Envy]

That were made were made. So.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's right.

[DJ Envy]

That's where it's at. But yeah, we'll, we'll keep. Of course, I'll keep you guys updated with anything prior to because there'll be some small things prior to and after. Now moving forward. In other news, Dwight Howard in the recent divorce that was filed by his wife. Now, Amy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Amber.

[DJ Envy]

My bad.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Not Amy. Say our name is Amber.

[DJ Envy]

Exactly. We actually have that clip here because he was here talking to you about.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

When I asked him about Amy. Like, that's not her name.

[DJ Envy]

I know her as Amy, but that is her stage name. Let's take a listen to Dwight Howard when he was here on the Breakfast Club and then we'll get into Amber's statement about the divorce.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, speaking of Atlanta, you know, I gotta ask, cuz I'm the woman in the room. Are you legally married to my girl Amy Luciani?

[Morgan Wood]

That's not her name, but Amy Luciani.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, that's a rap. She is rapper. She is an artist actually. So that's her rap name. Are you legally married to her?

[Edgar Belonga]

We are.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Okay, that's what's up.

[Tisha Campbell]

I had to ask.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Cause, you know, it was reported that you guys were. But it was never no confirmation, anything like that. So I want to know.

[Edgar Belonga]

Oh, yeah, it's always some rumors, but.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Just keep that side of my life private. So everybody ain't got nothing to say. Keep that private and keep it moving. Well, we made it, so right now I was about to say it private.

[DJ Envy]

It is not private anymore, Amy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So what if you started calling her Amy after that? You ain't acting like Amber. You acting like Amy.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah. So Amber or Amy, as people might know her from loving hip hop Atlanta. After she filed for the divorce, there's been conversations. Speaking of rumors, there's been conversations about the fact that she filed for divorce only after six months of them being married. And people are basically saying she did it to. For his money. So Amber or Amy posted a statement yesterday, and she said. Said that it, you know, this was supposed to be a private moment. She says that she's always said to him, whatever you worked for is yours. I'm not that type of woman. She says that she actually has that in text. And she says she's the one who brought up a prenup first and he declined. She says, I do not want any of his assets. I do not want half of anything that he earned or obtained before me. Not a car, not his properties, not his business. These rumors do not align with my character. Believe it or not, some of us women really date slash marry for love. So she was clarifying, buying some things.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Morgan Wood]

How long they dated before they were married?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't think too long.

[DJ Envy]

I'm not for sure.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I. I know it was actually leaked that they were legally dating.

[Morgan Wood]

No.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Before they even got married. For real. Like, because they were in a club and, like, they were hugged up in a club, and I think somebody had posted it, like, oh, Amy Luciani is in here with Dwight out. And then the next day, everybody's all right. And then couple weeks later, they were married. Yeah, that's how it went when I. That's how I saw it on the Shade Room.

[DJ Envy]

Well, I know. I mean, when I know Amy or Amber and when I talked to her, she said that she, you know, she's devastated by this. It's not something that she wanted to happen. She didn't even want to make this statement, but she decided to. I woke up this morning and it was there.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So why was it? Do we know why I was Divorced. Because it was so fast.

[DJ Envy]

I can't say right now, but.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, you know. But you just don't want to tell us.

[DJ Envy]

I don't know right now, but what.

[Morgan Wood]

Type of gossip pro you. Yeah, because I mean, she won't spill the tea and you know it. And I got some ginger root.

[DJ Envy]

H. Okay.

[Morgan Wood]

And some honey.

[DJ Envy]

Okay. Kendrick. Okay.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Kendrick sounds crazy.

[DJ Envy]

I just, you know, people don't.

[Morgan Wood]

Don't tell us that you got tea and don't spill it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't have the.

[DJ Envy]

I don't have the tea.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She said not right now.

[Morgan Wood]

I can't tell you right now because she said.

[DJ Envy]

She said she's not ready to get into that right now, but, you know, and when she filed for divorce, she just said that it was irretrievable.

[Morgan Wood]

Would never. She just spilled it already been splashed it all over the place. Ms. Info would have been gave up the goods.

[DJ Envy]

I don't. If I had it, y' all would know I don't have it. We will be back with the updates, though.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Okay. Yeah, but I'm. I'm pretty sure divorce is not easy for anybody. You know what I mean?

[DJ Envy]

That's. I'm giving her some.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Tisha Campbell]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I've hung out with Amy. I. I'm sorry. Amber. I've hung out with her, you know, so. Yeah, I mean, she. She a pretty cool person. But I was saying that Dwight was a pretty cool person, too. From what? From the. What, 45 minutes or hour that he set up here? I just commented was like, no, you're pretty cool, dude. And then Royce commented back me his.

[DJ Envy]

Ex wife or something like that in the shade room. I saw that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah. It was like, I see you caught up, too. Like, caught up in what, baby? I got my own husband. The people that had relations with this man. That's your cult. That ain't my pride money. I don't know him in that way.

[Morgan Wood]

Well, that is the reality, the situation. Royce knows her better than any of us. But that would be weird for her to even say that to you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah. Why you saying it to me? Yeah, I just know him as the white Howard, the basketball player I grew up watching. So I'm like, all right, Dwight, how it cool, dude. That's it. But it is what it is.

[Morgan Wood]

That's crazy over there sitting on tea.

[DJ Envy]

I'm not sitting on it. I don't. When I have it. We will know when she's ready to have a conversation about it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She got it. She ain't got of poker face. That is the latest.

[Morgan Wood]

I don't think she got nothing. Yeah, she don't got nothing.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All right, that is the latest with Lauren. Charlemagne, who you giving your donkey too?

[Morgan Wood]

Somebody that Donald Trump wanted to port. His name is Jose Lewis Lopez. Chike what?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What? He getting deported? You want to give him donkeys?

[Morgan Wood]

No, I said somebody that Trump would deport. We'll discuss.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All right, we'll get to that. Next. This the Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club. Your warnings will never be the same with the donkey. It's time for donkey of the day.

[Morgan Wood]

There's a bunch of donkeys around here. Yes, you are a donkey. What the hell?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What the hell are you?

[Morgan Wood]

Dave just saw himself.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Give it all practice club all day. Give it to him. Oh, man.

[Edgar Belonga]

Charlemagne, who you giving donkey to do tonight?

[Morgan Wood]

I just realized Rob 49 said what the he haw donkey today for Wednesday, July 9th goes to a 27 year old Minnesota man named Jose Lewis Lopez. Shi K. I'm telling you right now, Donald Trump might deport him, okay? With no due process. And I can understand why he would feel that way. I still think everyone deserves due process, but I understand why you would want to deport this. This demon without due process. Now, I am 47 years old, okay? I am at that age where I really hate people. Okay? I'm not quite sure when I started really not liking humans, but the older I've gotten, the more I get to know people, the more I realize why Noah only allowed animals on the ark. Okay? I completely overst Noah because that is the only way to avoid creatures like Jose. See, Jose is been charged with second degree murder because on June 27th he decided to take the life of a young 22 year old woman named Haley Arceff simply because she rejected him. Let's go to 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS for the report, please.

[Tisha Campbell]

A man is in jail tonight now.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Charged with murder and the death of a 22 year old woman in Richfield. As we've reported, Kaylie Arsef was found after being shot in her apartment last month.

[Tisha Campbell]

Today, Richfield police announced they arrested 27.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Year old Joseph Lopez Chicay on Thursday. He's charged with second degree murder. Court documents show r Seth and Lopez she k recently met online and had been hanging out. But Arsen expressed she didn't want to.

[Tisha Campbell]

Be in a romantic relationship with him, only friends. On June 16 around noon, police say Lopez she k bought several items including.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Tape, a mask, an apron and gloves. And then around 3:30pm his phone showed.

[Tisha Campbell]

He was sitting outside RSS apartment text.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

About an hour later at 4:30 a neighbor told police they heard yelling coming from inside the apartment. The next day, officers went to her.

[Tisha Campbell]

Apartment for a welfare check and found.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Arsa's body and signs of a struggle. When officers arrested Lopez Chique near his home, they say he did not ask why he was being arrested, but told.

[Tisha Campbell]

Officers to hurry it up.

[Morgan Wood]

Lord have mercy. This is why women be online arguing about what's safe for bears or men. Okay, rip to this young lady. Kaylee Arceff. Fellas, please go to therapy to learn how to properly regulate your emot. Okay? Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on teaching skills to manage emotions effectively. And, boy, do we need it. Like, what's wrong with hearing the word no, Jose? I don't care how many gifts you bought this woman. I'm looking at the complaint, and it says, Jose would, you know, buy things for the victim, take the victim on shopping trips, but the relationship was not romantic or sexual. I wouldn't care if it was romantic or sexual. That still is not a reason to shoot and kill a woman execution style simply because she didn't want to hide violate you simply because she told you no. Investigators saw the victim's computer, and it was logged into her Snapchat account, and they noticed that the victim and Jose had a best friend badge with a streak that had just ended. I have absolutely no idea what the hell that means, okay? But I can guarantee it ain't worth killing somebody over. You tried to holl at her, Jose. She said no. She had you in the friend zone. She said to you, and I quote, I'm only interested in a friendship and did not feel a reward. Romantic attraction to defendant. Okay? By the way, my brothers, that don't mean it can't evolve into something else over time. Some of the best romantic relationships start when two people are friends first. It's actually great to have that foundation of friendship to stand on. But that also doesn't mean you should be trying to wear her down, okay? Perpetual persistence is not romantic. In fact, it can be kind of predatory because you are saying you are this person's friend, but you have ulterior motives, okay? If you don't know how to check that and truly just be friends, then it's probably best to move on. Move on. Now, when I look at these messages this young woman, Kaylee sent to him, she was so emotionally intelligent and mature. Jose told her he wanted to see more effort from her and their relationship. They hung out, and Kelly contacted Jose on Snapchat and said, I did enjoy hanging out with you, but I don't have enough mental capacity for any type of relationship right now. I'm trying to figure out myself as well as manage my relationship with my parents, and I'm overwhelmed and stressed already. What a mature response. Response. Okay, they had some more correspondence. Nothing that would. That would make anyone think, you know, he was about to go to her apartment and murder her. But that's exactly what happened. Okay? When police showed up, the victim was face down on her living room floor in a pool of blood with an apparent gunshot wound to her head. I would say this is a sign of the times, but this has been going on forever. Okay? Some men simply can't deal with rejection. And as a father of four daughters, I. I pray that they never meet these kind of dangerous ass men. Okay? You have to teach people to not feel entitled to anything. It's a level of entitlement that makes people not be able to handle rejection. Fellas, you have to be able to hear the word no and move on. Okay? You want to know the problem? A lot of y' all never had to write a letter that says, will you go with me? Yes, no, or maybe? Gotta put the maybe. Okay? Everything about that letter prepares you for rejection. You write it, okay? You got all the options laid out. You have to give it to her. So it's a lot of preparation that goes into it, and it wasn't any assuming. Okay, you knew based on what she checked on that box whether or not you should take things further. Yes meant it was on, and popping maybe meant it was a chance. No meant no. But you were prepared for all options. And if you got to know, you kept it moving and wrote another letter for another young lady.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's it.

[Morgan Wood]

Okay? If she said no, Jose, so what? Heartbreak shouldn't turn to you being heartless. If your response to rejection is murder, then you're just not simply ready to date. Okay, look, look, man, rejection hurts, okay? It's normal. But what Jose did shows a complete lack of self control. You handle rejection by feeling the emotion, processing it. Talk it out with somebody and use it as fuel to grow, not to destroy. Okay? If you can't cope with the rejection, talk to somebody. A parent, a therapist, a teacher, any rational adult that can stop you from making a permanent decision based off temporary emotions. Okay? Rejection is not a crime. What violence is? She popped a balloon on you and you popped her. That's not how that should work. Please give Jose Lewis Lopez, Jennifer G. Say the biggest he haw shek, whatever the hell his name is. Soon to be prison inmate 7 6. 5, 7, 9, 3, 4, 6.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But with no remorse, though. Tumble. Hurry it up. At the time of arrest.

[DJ Envy]

That's crazy, man.

[Morgan Wood]

He gonna be saying that for the rest of his life in prison.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Hurry it up.

[Morgan Wood]

When they hitting it from the back, I bet. And they ain't gonna hurry either.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All right. Well, thank you for that. Donkey of the day.

[Morgan Wood]

Yes, indeed.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Now, when we come back, Edgar Belonga will be joining us. He's fighting this Saturday in Queens, and we gonna talk to him next, so don't go anywhere. It Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Jess. Hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy we are. The Breakfast Club A is here with us today, and we got a special guest in the building, Edgar Balanga. He's back in here. How you feeling?

[Edgar Belonga]

Good, though.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Feeling good.

[Edgar Belonga]

I'm back in the city, man, you know what I'm saying? Main event. Haven't been here, haven't fought here in like two and a half years, you know, so it feels good.

[Morgan Wood]

How does it take to get refocused after the Canelo Law?

[Edgar Belonga]

I bounced back pretty good. You know, I'm saying I came back with a first round knockout, you know, 17 first round knockouts now. And it just, it brought experience to me, you know, I'm saying I gained a lot of experience being in there with him, you know, I'm saying he's a legend at the end of the day, you feel me? And me going in there with no experience, I have no type of nothing, you feel me? I just went in there with. With what I got, you know, I'm saying my skill and whatever, a little bit of experience I got as a pro. And, you know, I'm saying I feel like I did pretty well.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What did you learn? Learned from that fight?

[Edgar Belonga]

First of all, the feeling to be at the top, you know what I'm saying? Because finding a guy like him, you know, that's the top of the pinnacle of boxing, you know, I'm saying you don't get no higher than that, you feel me?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And.

[Edgar Belonga]

And my generation, like, dudes that I came out with, you know what I'm saying? From the amateurs. I'm the only guy in my generation that fought a legend, you feel me?

[Morgan Wood]

Wow.

[Edgar Belonga]

And at the end, you know, I'm saying that's like them fighting Florida. I'm fighting Manny Pacquiao or something, you feel me?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I fought.

[Edgar Belonga]

I fought Canada right now. If you really, you know what I'm saying? Can I. He's a living legend right now. You know what I'm Saying he's gonna go down as one of the best Mexican fighters of all time. And just being at that level, for me to find in front of 20, 000 people, being on pay per view, the magnitude of the fight, you know what I'm saying? The way in was probably about 5, 000 people at the win, you know what I'm saying? So just again, in that type of experience, because fighters, you know, that. That get at that level, they can't really. That's a. That's. That energy is crazy. You know what I'm saying? Something. Sometimes a fighter could be in the gym, look good and hit the bag and sparring, look like Floyd Mayweather, look like Andre Ward. But then, you know what I'm saying, they up against 20,000 Mexicans, you know what I'm saying? And you got them screaming, your mother, you know, we're gonna. Your wife, you know what I'm saying? And Fat Joe's with me, you know what I'm saying? We walking in like you, Fat Joe, like, you know what I'm saying? It's different. And just gaining that whole experience as a fighter was amazing.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know, you have a lot of respect for Canelli, showing respect now, but especially after the fight. But then a couple months after you guys are going back and forth, you was, you know, what did he say to you that offend you that then you was back on a disrespectful wave.

[Edgar Belonga]

At the end of the day, I got. I have respect for him, you know what I'm saying? And I still got respect for him as a fighter, but I felt like he was disrespecting me when. When he started going on a rampage that whole. His whole fight week saying, you know what I'm saying? Like, I was running, like, oh, I.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Was trying to survive.

[Edgar Belonga]

I was trying to survive, you know what I'm saying? Know what I'm saying? Like, and then it comes to show, he talking all that, and then next thing you know, he fight Skull, and Skull's running laps around the whole ring, 12 rounds, you know what I'm saying? So I started laughing. I'm like, nah, yeah, you bugging, bro. Like, I was there the whole time.

[Morgan Wood]

You definitely wor.

[Edgar Belonga]

You know what I'm saying? I don't know. I was just, you know, my skill, that's it.

[Morgan Wood]

You got. I heard you say you want a rematch with him.

[Edgar Belonga]

I want one, you know, but I know that, you know, right now I gotta, you know, I gotta. I gotta make my mark first, you know what I'm saying I got July 12th to focus on. Gotta knock this dude out, you know what I'm saying? I probably got to do another big fight and then we could see, you know what I'm saying? But I, for real, for, like the Mexican people's asking for that, you know what I'm saying? Like, I'm all over, you know, I'm in Cali, I'm in Texas, I'm in Florida, you know, playing city while I train. And there's a whole bunch of Mexicans and everything. They every, every time they see me, they always like, every Mexican's like, we want that remax. You got to get that rematch with Canelo, man. You got to get that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, but Canelo's about to fight Terence Crawford, right? Right. So. And that fight at one point was wide with the odds. Now it's only 2 to 1. So a lot of people are picking Bud for that fight. I mean, what if Bud, I guess the size when they, when they seeing Bud and Canelo next to each other. Bud has longer arms. The size difference is not big because Canelo is small for 168, you know what I mean? It's like, so what if Bud beats Canelo? Is that a fight that you'll entertain?

[Edgar Belonga]

Of course, you know, he gonna have all the belts. Bells. So. And who's the big. I'm the biggest fighter he could fight at.168 right now. You know what I'm saying? Everybody, you know, right. Caleb Laws.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So. So you'll be done chasing a Canelo rematch if Bud beats him, but it'll be your new target.

[Edgar Belonga]

Yeah, we want the bells, you know what I'm saying? When it's all said, then I'm in this. You know what I'm saying? Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What do you think wins that fight?

[Edgar Belonga]

Canelo just got the size differential for me, Bud is. Is a two time in the sporty world, champ, you know what I'm saying? Bud got the iq, got everything. I feel like the only difference in that fight and if, If Canelo does win is because of his size, you know what I'm saying? He been in there with me. He been in there with Bivo, you know what I'm saying? He's been in there with big, big, big dudes, you feel me? So I know Crawford's power ain't gonna do nothing to him, you know what I'm saying? And his skill. He got skill, don't get me wrong. But this dude is strong, you feel me? So I feel like he gonna probably Try to just walk him down. Just use his strength against him.

[Morgan Wood]

No. Boxing News24 said your desire to have a rematch against Canelo is a diluted pipe dream.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah?

[Morgan Wood]

What are your thoughts on that?

[Edgar Belonga]

Who's that? Who's that?

[Morgan Wood]

Yeah, they always hating on me, though. Yeah, they always hating on me. I don't give a. About them. Whoever own that. That site, eat up, you know what I'm saying? Them dudes, they always. They always talk.

[Morgan Wood]

That's the radio edit. He wants to eat.

[Edgar Belonga]

Some shady to me, you know what I'm saying? At the end of the day, they don't. They don't dictate, you know what I'm saying? What's going on at the end of the day. If we do. If we don't, then it is what it is. But at least I know I'm chasing greatness at the end of the day, you know what I'm saying?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Do you know your. Your opponent's weaknesses for the fight coming up?

[Edgar Belonga]

Yeah, he soft.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You saw.

[Edgar Belonga]

He from the uk, you know what I'm saying? So when you. When you bring them over on this side is a different. It's different, you know what I'm saying? See, like, us, if we go over there, like, I was born. I'm born and raised from New York, you know what I'm saying? So I'm from the trenches. I go over there. I'm having that. I'm having my energy gonna be up here. Them dudes come over here and they fold them. They.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

They.

[Edgar Belonga]

You know what I'm saying? And he's solved. I could see it, you know what I'm saying? He's.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So did you and Shakur squash you a little? Because I know that's your bro from back in the day, from the amateurs, but when he was here last time, he kind of felt the way about you being on the main event, but then he went on Twitter and on socials like, you know what? That's my bro. I was out of line, kind of. So what? Explain that whole situation.

[Edgar Belonga]

Not because I started going crazy. I mean, they sent that to me at like, four in the morning. Yeah, right. I was talking to him, and I just felt like, you know, I text. I said first I. I was like, it. I didn't even hit him. I just.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You went on Twitter or something that.

[Edgar Belonga]

On Instagram, you know what I'm saying? Cuz, what he said, what you say.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

On Instagram again, Not eat it.

[Morgan Wood]

Eat up.

[Edgar Belonga]

Eat up. No, no, I was just, you know, just. I was just chatting this by, you know, like, oh, you know, trying to get him tight, you know what I'm saying? Cuz, he got me tight. So I'm like. I was just talking about his hands, you know, brutal hands. And. But you know what I'm saying? Like, at the end of the day, I fought a friend to come. Like, then you my. You my brother. You know what I'm saying? And we. We supposed to be cool. You feel me? And at the end of the day, I told him because he called me, and then we spoke, and I was like, yo, bro, at the end of the day, day, New York is my city. And the first thing I told Turkey and. And the whole organization, I said, yo, bro, if I'm fine on your card, if I main event, I mean, if I'm finding on a card in New York, I'm gonna. It was Benavidez. Bivo Arthur better be is not gonna be on top of me in my city, you know what I'm saying? Not right now. Not at all. You know what I'm saying?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like, I'm.

[Edgar Belonga]

I'm too much of a big of a star to be co main event in New York, you know what I'm saying?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Saying.

[Edgar Belonga]

And I told Shakur, I said, yo, bro, if Turkey would have said, yo, y' all finding the Prudential, y' all finding Newark or Jersey, I' ma push record as main event, I would have been like, all right, cool. You know what I'm saying? That's my brother. You gotta respect that. Then the day. That's your city. That's just. I'm saying New Jersey for me.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Cool.

[Edgar Belonga]

I was like, yo, bro, respectfully, New York is my. You know what I'm saying? And nobody, at the end of the day, nobody gonna go over me in New York, you know what I'm saying? And I'd say, yo, bro, then the day is a double main event. So it don't really matter. They treating us like a double main event, you know what I'm saying? Saying they're giving us the same privileges. The only difference is that I'm walking out last.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Who's getting a bigger purse? We're still kicking it with Edgar Balanga. He has a fight this weekend in Queens. He's fighting Hamza Shiraz this Saturday in Queens. Charlemagne.

[Morgan Wood]

Now, you called Hazma soft. Right. But he's undefeated. I think he's got like 17 knockouts. Does that impact you at all mentally?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No.

[Edgar Belonga]

I don't know. He lost his last fight.

[Morgan Wood]

He did?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, he lost, but not technically.

[Edgar Belonga]

Yeah, but he lost. But he lost.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know, a lot of people felt that he, that he didn't get that decision over there.

[Edgar Belonga]

I'm not gonna sit here and say, you know, the dude is trash because obviously I took him as an opponent, but you know what I'm saying?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm not gonna say he trash. He said he trashed three times.

[Edgar Belonga]

Yeah, but you know what I mean.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like, he, he looked great against Ammo Williams.

[Edgar Belonga]

Yeah.

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

[DJ Envy]

Left a woman behind to drown.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

There's a famous headline, I think in the New York Daily News.

[DJ Envy]

It's Teddy Escapes, Blonde Drowns. And in a strange way, right, that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Sort of tells you the story really became about ted's political future, Ted's political hopes. Will Ted become President? Kappaquiddick is a story of a tragic death and how the Kennedy machine took control. And he's not the only Kennedy to survive a scandal. The Kennedys have lived through disgrace, affairs, violence, you name it. So is there a curse? Every week we go behind the headlines and beyond the drama of America's royal family.

[Edgar Belonga]

Oh that dude Nov. He look like a novice finding that guy. Man, you crazy mo I'mma shiraz up.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yo.

[Morgan Wood]

What's that?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What's your issue with Oscar De La Hoya? I gotta ask you, because you were going to meeting before you signed a matchroom with Eddie Hearn and him, he wanted to sign me. Hold on, hold on. You would meet it. You would meet. You met up with everybody. I saw you, your pops, Oscar in the office. You guys are cool.

[Edgar Belonga]

That boy Oscar was so happy, he thought he was gonna sign me.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So what happened, though? Why you attacking him? Sending fishnet pictures on the Internet? No, I'm saying like pictures post. I mean, he always been good with me. I want to know what's the issue with some fighters having so much hate towards Oscar? What's your problem with Oscar?

[Morgan Wood]

My.

[Edgar Belonga]

Listen, my problem with Oscar is you supposed to be a promoter. Be a promoter. You know what I'm saying? Like, be a promoter. He trying to be something, something else. Not only that, he's a guy that he's. He's a legend. You know what I'm saying? You got to respect it here.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He did a lot in the street, everybody.

[Edgar Belonga]

So as far as credentials, I respect them. The whole started when we fought Canelo, you know what I'm saying? Because remember, he wanted. He wanted to sign me. He flew just to try to get that deal with me. He flew a jet from LA straight to New York just to sit down with me, and then sat down me for two. Two hours, and he hopped on his jet and left back to la, you know what I'm saying? And he was like. He was like, oh, my God. I want. You know, I want to.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So why did that. Why didn't that work out? Yeah, why. Yeah, why didn't you sign on him?

[Edgar Belonga]

Because the numbers we was. We was telling him we wanted, he. He couldn't do it. You know what I'm saying? They couldn't. They couldn't match it. You feel me? And obviously, you know, Eddie. Eddie was on that match, what we wanted, and that's why we got with Eddie. But. And then during the Canelo press in Vegas, Oscar just kept. Kept going, you know what I'm saying? Just. Well, you know that clap back Thursday.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He be doing, oh, yeah, yeah, on Instagram sometimes. It's funny. I don't know. I'd be clapping at some people. It'd be funny. So you want to clap back Thursdays?

[Edgar Belonga]

Oh, yeah. And then. And during the press conference, I say, yo, I' ma smack this out of you when I see you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah. I ain't got no real beef.

[Edgar Belonga]

I'm Gonna smack the Botox out of. Damn, yo, listen. So we deaded the right, whatever. Of course, six months later, this dude put up a video of him smoking a blunt, talking about he gonna come fight week, and he want to see if you're gonna smack this out of me. And he went on another podcast like, two days later saying he gonna smack this out of me. So I said, okay. I was. I want to see that energy when you. When I see you fight. I want to see if you're gonna smack this with me. Now, I got a surprise for him on the press conference, a big surprise for him.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

This week.

[Edgar Belonga]

Yeah, this week press conference. I got a super duper surprise.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Really? You throw a hint, but, like, what kind of surprise?

[Edgar Belonga]

Like, it's gonna be legendary. It's gonna be legendary. It's gonna be legendary.

[Morgan Wood]

You gotta stay focused. Understand? You don't like Oscar, but you still got to stay focused on the fight at.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't know what the surprises is down. I gonna watch the press conference. Yeah, what's the press conference? I gotta see the surprise.

[Edgar Belonga]

Thursday.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Thursday. All right, Thursday.

[Edgar Belonga]

I'm telling you, it's gonna be viral. Him.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Don't swing on him, huh? Don't mess up the whole promotion. No, no, no, no, no.

[Edgar Belonga]

He gonna sue me if I have us. All right, then, you know, I'm. Instead of fighting Shiraz, I'm be fighting him.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah. What's the boxer that was going at him? And I went at Fat Joe.

[Morgan Wood]

Caleb, Plant, Caliper.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Caleb, Caleb, Caleb, Caleb playing. Y' all squash him.

[Edgar Belonga]

Seen him. He was on here too.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, no, you. What happened? What? He don't remember. He don't remember Caleb. See, he was just giving his side of the story. When y' all ran into each other in Vegas, how you went back and forth. Yeah, with Fat Joe. No, no. Fat Joe was weak.

[Morgan Wood]

Oh, got you, got you, got you.

[Edgar Belonga]

They was gonna. They was gonna beat him up. He was with. He was with Pistol. He was all the whole kr. It was gonna beat him up.

[Morgan Wood]

Oh, yeah. That wouldn't have been.

[Edgar Belonga]

They was gonna beat him up.

[Morgan Wood]

Yeah, that wouldn't be all that he's.

[Edgar Belonga]

Talking is Cap all that. So they was gonna beat him up, you know what I'm saying? Because Joe was with. Was with Loretta and his. His daughter. You know what I'm saying? And he. He want to set that dumb.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What did he say? He claims that he never said any of that.

[Edgar Belonga]

Yeah, he said something. He said. I forgot what he said, but Joe always talking when Joe keeps speaking about this. Yeah, it's certain. Then Pistol Pete was like, yeah, like the shot, you know what I'm saying? Like, Pete was like, yeah, we was right there. Like we was about to stomp this out. You know what I'm saying?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And that's another fight on your. On your radar.

[Edgar Belonga]

Yeah, I still want that fight, even though he got beat up. But I don't know. I think. I think he didn't take that. I think. I think he ain't take that guy, like, serious, you know what I'm saying? Because that dude, he felt like he probably came up from 154.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Little.

[Edgar Belonga]

Little dude, you know, little Mexican dude, like five feet, you know what I'm saying? Like, he. Look at this dude.

[Morgan Wood]

Like, this dude, you can never sleep on a Mexican.

[Edgar Belonga]

That's what I'm saying. He felt like probably.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He.

[Edgar Belonga]

He fought. He fought Benavidez, he fought Canelo, he fought these guys. You know what I'm saying? He's like this dude. I feel like he really slept on.

[Morgan Wood]

Him for real, for how Mexicans are so tough. You can't sleep on.

[Edgar Belonga]

No. Then the dude was like 15 and 1. Like he got 152 or something. He got. He got like one of his lows. He got knocked out by a dude at 1:54. I'm telling you, bro, fight us. But like, with me, I. I don't take nobody. Like, you see my last fight, they can say whatever they want. Had rolls and he had, you know, those rose. What's those rolls called when you like, you know. Yeah, like them.

[Morgan Wood]

Oh, the, the. The bread rolls, bro.

[Edgar Belonga]

The dude, after my last fight, they. It went viral.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, yeah, yeah. The knockout.

[Edgar Belonga]

Yeah, yeah, but son, is. He's. Nobody was knocking him out. I. I put my bank. Nobody was knocking him out. First round.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

People were judging him because the way he looked. But he.

[Edgar Belonga]

He look like he working a bakery, you know what I'm saying? Like, he eat mad bread, like hanging over. Like, if he's having sex.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like, he probably had to like, lift his up. J like muffin T. I got ask you about Shakur before we leave. Obviously, that's your man. He really wants a Tank fight. I know Tank gotta get the roach fight back or whatever that. But if Tank did fight Shakur, like, how does that fight play out? Real quick, I need your prediction. I never asked you.

[Edgar Belonga]

It's gonna be a good fight, you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Know, cuz you don't like Tank too much either.

[Edgar Belonga]

Yeah, but I'm already past that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, cool.

[Edgar Belonga]

I don't care about that. I'm saying it was more. It's more outside of boxing, what. What happened with. With Tank, But I'm already past that. I ain't. You know what I'm saying? Like, we're not even the same way. So that's 135, you know what I'm saying? Like, I'm one. I'm 168.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So it's like. It's not. You feel Shakur beats him?

[Edgar Belonga]

Yeah, I think it's gonna be. It's gonna be a tough fight.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

They.

[Edgar Belonga]

So in order for Shakur to be on, Shakur got to be on his A game, you know what I'm saying?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Right?

[Edgar Belonga]

Because at the end of the day, Tank, you know, Tank gonna come, you know, and Tank is.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, Tank is nice and he can push.

[Edgar Belonga]

Yeah. It's just, you know, with Lamont, shout out to Lamar Roach, you know what I'm saying? That's my brother right there.

[Morgan Wood]

Who you got for the rematch?

[Edgar Belonga]

Lamont? Yeah, I'm going for them. You know what I'm saying? That's my brother. I'm saying I think it's his time, you know? You know what I'm saying? He step up, you know what I'm saying, and do what he do.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He showed improve for sure. Well, the fight is this weekend, July 12th. Get your tickets. Make sure you order it online. It's going to be in Queens, so head out there. We appreciate you for joining us.

[Edgar Belonga]

Yes, sir. Lewis Armstrong Stadium, man.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Edgar Belonga, it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to the latest with Lauren. Lauren becoming the straight thing. She gets them from somebody that knows somebody.

[Morgan Wood]

She gets the details.

[DJ Envy]

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

[Morgan Wood]

She be having the latest on.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The Latest with Lauren LaRosa.

[Morgan Wood]

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

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, it's the latest on the Breakfast Club. Talk to me.

[DJ Envy]

Well, guys, Tony Busby might have got the confrontation that a lot of people have been thinking that he does deserve to get. And it was on behalf of Vlad. So Vlad was on Piers Morgan's show. They were having a conversation about, you know, the Diddy case and all the things. And Vlad and Tony Busby were on like this. It was. It was a panel, but it was via Zoom. And they started having a conversation about Tony Busby in the cases that he chooses to take on. Let's take a listen to Vlad and Tony.

[Morgan Wood]

You just made this grand conclusion that, oh, the the U.S. attorney talked to a few of these folks and decided they had no credibility. You are flat out wrong in that respect. It has nothing to do with whether these people were credible or not. Their case is a civil case alleging state law claims of assault after being drugged. That was not the case. That was brought by the U.S. attorney. And frankly, that's not a case that could be brought by the U.S. attorney.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And which is Jay Z and Diddy of raping her when she was 13.

[Morgan Wood]

And we all saw it was all.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Nonsense, it was absolutely false that Good Charlotte was there. They weren't there.

[Morgan Wood]

Like, you have a lot of you, a little bit of information. All these broad. Don't even know what you're talking about. You won a single lawsuit with any.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Of these people, people you've represented literally.

[Morgan Wood]

30 days ago for 640 million, pal. So don't be telling me about winning lawsuits.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

How many lawsuits.

[Morgan Wood]

Called him a knucklehead?

[DJ Envy]

Yes. Yeah. So basically, Tony Buzzy was trying to make the point that the reason why none of his people that he represents got. Did not get called is because the trafficking, like taking them from one place to another didn't happen because everything he's alleging happened in New York, allegedly. And Vlad was not going.

[Morgan Wood]

I will say Vlad won that debate, at least from what I heard from that clip. Because, you know, Tony Buzby started bringing up things that had nothing to do with what they were talking about. He brought up the fact that they secured $640 million for a Houston family, which is true. But that don't have nothing to do with the cases with. With Jay Z and Diddy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But can I ask you a question? If you're my civil attorney and I hire you to do civil work for me to fight something in court, why are you doing interviews and talking before or the court? Right. Does that make sense? Does that help with the civil case?

[Morgan Wood]

Maybe. I have. No. I really don't know.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You guys. Public opinion, too. It doesn't. It doesn't make sense. Fight it in court.

[Morgan Wood]

I don't know how civil court works, but if you, I guess, can influence people in the court of public opinion.

[DJ Envy]

Maybe.

[Morgan Wood]

I don't know.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, it's yours. Because you got to look at the facts as well.

[Morgan Wood]

So it's the same thing. So he's trying to influence the court of public opinion.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, but I just think. Yeah, like, it's just a legitimacy conversation. That's what I. I took from it. I'm like, if I. This was my attorney, I don't want you on here arguing with nobody about nothing. Let's go. Let's just get in court and do what we gonna do or whatever.

[Morgan Wood]

But I agree with Vlad, though. I mean, you do so many cases that lead nowhere and they sound like the nonsense and foolishness we'd be hearing. That does hurt your credibility.

[DJ Envy]

Oh, yeah. That Jay Z situation, definitely. I think 100. Because people had something to point to. Even Diddy's team on the civil side has something to point to. Of like, okay, these things are CR.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Crazy, but it hurts his credibility to what? Right. Let's be honest. Because if somebody sues somebody and they're not charging you and they're only taking a percentage of what they get, who's going to stop going to them? Because if somebody who's suing somebody, they have nothing to lose. I don't have to put any money up. I can go to a lawyer. Lawyer is going to get 33 of whatever he makes and I lose nothing.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

If he gets even a little bit, I'm happy. Because it was nothing into it.

[Morgan Wood]

They don't tell the right stories. The actual stories are most of these cases go nowhere.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Correct.

[Morgan Wood]

Most of these civil cases go nowhere. Everybody is not Diddy. I keep saying that over and over. Everybody's not Diddy and Cassie.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Okay.

[Morgan Wood]

Most of these cases go nowhere. If Yalls knew that, y' all stop wasting these lawyers time.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah. That is fact. Well, another back and forth online or I. I don't even know if it was. Yeah, I guess you could call it back and forth. The Wale Casa Knot Wale sat down with DJ Head and Gina views on.

[Morgan Wood]

Effective immediately Dropping the clues box for DJ Head and Gina views effective immediately.

[DJ Envy]

Yes. This was a great interview. They talked about a ton of stuff. They also talked about why and like, you know, the conversation about him being a rapper's rapper and all the things. But he did get more into detail about the Kaiser Knot situation. Let's take a listen. Did you know that the streamers be.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Mic'D up 24 7? And the last place I thought it would be is like in this crowded little area. One thing about me, I always introduce myself to people even if they already know me. Like, I'd be like, wow, like, what's up? I mean, we played in the game celebrity game like last year. I saw that photo you posted again. I'm sure he don't like be up playing Lotus Vloudman or like on Chill, but he's a pillar in this new generation generation of hip hop. You know, I had the Game on. He's like, yeah, man, I beat you on this joint. Like, so I'm like, okay. He probably do remember me. It's cool. And then I get in the car, and I'm just like, my phone, like, damn, this don't know who you are. This eights. And then I'm getting texts from people like, yo, it's all good, bro. Don't worry about now. I'm in the room with all my peers. You know, I seen him on the carpet. But I'm like, you know, that's too much of a powerful little bubble right there of, like, energy that I don't really understand. So I waited, and I saw Snoop, and I'm cool with Snoop. And I just walked over to him like, yo, you know, I was crazy, but let's talk later. We didn't talk later. But, you know, I think. I think people ran with it for a story, whatever, but I just was confused.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, he was. He was confused. I think he. And he also said, too. And looking at it now, he wish he had just never said nothing. Of course, like, 100% never said that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Cause then he looked crazy twice when he came back and was like, yo, you know, it was looking crazy. Like, the camera's still not on. Yeah, and the chat. Saw it twice. I mean, Kyle was. Again, Kyle wasn't disrespectful. Kai just didn't know who he was, didn't remember who he was. There's many of people I didn't work with, and if I run past them right now, I don't remember. It's not that I'm being disrespectful. I just don't remember. Right, Jess? I don't know everybody.

[Morgan Wood]

Yo, I can't believe we even still talking about this situation.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's right.

[Morgan Wood]

But salute to W and salute to Kai. And I do want to drop on the clues Bombs for Gina Views. Okay? Gina Views. That's one of my favorite new hip hop personalities out here. Gina energy is infectious. You hear me when I tell you.

[DJ Envy]

She ran down this interview. Like, the. The way Gina came with the songs, the angles, the person personality, she had a whole. She even made while I say, wow. Like, Gina is one of the ones. That's my sister.

[Morgan Wood]

I watch a lot of effective immediately, Salute to my. My guy DJ had, you know, sensible, honest, funny hip hop takes. I love that show.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Dope. Nice. We ain't got time.

[Morgan Wood]

Yes, you do.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Okay, so another. In another little situation, yo, was Kehlani and Chris Sean. Y' all saw that yesterday. Yeah, okay. If you didn't, yo, it was crazy, right? Because so apparently, Kehlani was trying to get her to delete the tattoo off her face. Like, yo, get this tattoo off or whatever. Krishan said, you know, like, she wanted to, you know, make me a better person. I wanted her to take me to the gym with her. So they started going to the gym. Later on, she realized that Blueface has smashed her or whatever. But Kehlani. She said. Kehlani told her, like, yeah, she. She did smash Blueface to. When Blueface called it, because, you know, he's still in jail. She asked her, and she was right there with Kehlani. Went in the other room. They was in the gym, and she said, yo, you smashed Kehlani or whatever. And apparently he appear. He confirmed that he did. Kehlani said none of that never happened. She never told Blueface. She never told Krishan that she smashed Blueface or nothing. It was just wild, like, how they was going back and forth. But they started, like, to be friends. They was going to church together and the gym, and then out of nowhere, it's all out the window.

[Morgan Wood]

It's the next sound, like stuck with behavior to me.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She like the coochie now. So it's like, yo, this. Even if that did happen, that was probably, like, when she was a teenager and she was, like, in a pole. But now it's different.

[Morgan Wood]

Church in the gym. That's a stud starter date.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Church in the gym? Yes.

[DJ Envy]

I don't know why people didn't learn from that prayer.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So that's what Kehlani said. She was like, you know what? Look, yo, I'm. I'm done. I. I was just trying to be your friend or whatever, because I didn't want to, like, assume what everybody else say for you to be crazy. And then this is. I learned my lesson in it, so I don't know.

[Morgan Wood]

Well, it's good. It's good. It's good. They got to this point before she started buying her oversized T shirt, because that's when it's. That's when studs have gone through. All right. When the stud buy stud oversized T shirt. It's a real relationship.
