And we have front page news coming up with Morgan.
Charlamagne Tha God
That's right. It's the world's most dangerous morning show to Breakfast Club. Yes, it's the world's most dangerous morning show to Breakfast Club. Charlamagne, Tha God, Jess. Hilarious. DJ Envy is off. Lauren LaRosa is running a little late. But it's time for front page news with Morgan. What's up, Morgan? All right.
Jess Hilarious
Let's get into it. Good morning.
Charlamagne Tha God
Happy anniversary to Morgan. Good morning. Black Information Network has been doing front page news for a year now.
Jess Hilarious
Yes, officially a year. Yes. But we're not gonna get too much into that. Let's get into the news. There's a lot to cover. First up on the front page, breaking news out of Washington, D.C. two Israeli embassy staff members are dead following a shooting outside the Capitol Jewish museum in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday night. Now the suspect is in custody and shouted free Palestine while being arrested. Now, officials in D.C. say the man was pacing the area shortly before the shooting and waited for a group of people to leave after the shooting. Metropolitan Police Department Chief Pamela Smith said that the suspect then entered the museum and was detained by security. Now, the Israeli ambassador to the United States said they were a young couple about to get engaged. Very sad news for that couple. But I will keep you guys posted as this story continues to develop.
Charlamagne Tha God
Very sad news and not helpful at all. You know, throw, throwing, throwing fuel on a fire that's been going on forever.
Lauren LaRosa
Hello.
Jess Hilarious
And we're talk. We're supposed to be working on peace talks here, you know. But switching gears, President Trump met with South South African President Cyril Ramaphosa in the Oval Office at the White House yesterday. This comes as dozens of white South Africans were accepted into the US as refugees earlier this month. Now, Ramaphosa called his citizens cowards for resettling in the US and during the meeting, Trump alleged that South Africa was committing genocide against the white Africaners, which is not case now. He showed outdated video clips to Ramaphosa calling it proof of that genocide. Let's take a listen to the comments between South African President Ramaphosa and President Trump.
Charlamagne Tha God
They're being executed and they happen to be white and most of them happen to be farmers. And that's a tough situation. I don't know how you explain that. How do you explain that you are a partner, partner of South Africa and you are raising concerns and these are concerns that we are willing to talk to you about.
Jess Hilarious
So Ramaphosa of course, denied the allegations, telling Trump that there is a minority party behind the tensions between blacks and whites. He went on to stress that he does want to sit down and continue talks about the issue after the meeting. He also said he was happy that talks between the US And South Africa will continue regarding trade and more, adding that that was his goal for the meeting to reset the relationship between the two nations. Now, South Africa native Elon Musk has been outspoken crit has been an outspoken critic of the current government and he was also in attend of that meeting. Now, the comment that stuck out to me was when President Trump said in reference to the white Africana refugees. Let's take a listen to that audio.
Charlamagne Tha God
We have many people that feel they're being persecuted and they're coming to the United States. And we take from many, many locations if we feel this persecution or genocide going on.
Jess Hilarious
So saying that in one breath while actively deporting migrants who come to the U.S. seeking asylum from the very same thing is crazy, Mr. President.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, I wonder how poor and disenfranchised white people here in America feel about the acceptance of the, the white Africanus. Because it's the same thing, right? Like if you were complaining about, you know, the, these other people that were coming in from other countries getting resources and everything, it would, you Would you would. I would think you would complain about that as well, right?
Jess Hilarious
Absolutely, absolutely.
Charlamagne Tha God
I mean, Cooper Flag was the number one pick in the draft. I mean, that was big for white Africans. But I mean, other than that, I, you know, what the hell's going on?
Jess Hilarious
All right, Charlemagne, clock the T. Then switching gears, the House Rules Committee is advancing President Trump's so called big, beautiful bill. Now, the panel voted 8 to 4 to advance the measure, which included last minute changes designed to appease both moderates and conservatives who withheld support from. From the legislation. Now, we'll now head to the House floor where there is a hope that a vote will be held today and it will be sent to the Senate by Memorial Day. So, as House Speaker Mike Johnson indicated, this bill, big beautiful bill, is on track to head to the Senate by Memorial Day. But that's your front page news for 6am, 7am we'll talk about a Qatari jet that has been accepted and some incidents going on with the doj. The DOJ has been very busy, so we'll get into that at seven, so stick around.
Charlamagne Tha God
Thank you, Morgan. Get it off Your chest is next. 1-800-585-1051. Call up, tell us why you're blessed. Call up, tell us why you're upset about things. Whatever it is, whatever you want to get off your chest, you can do it right now. It's the world's most dangerous morning show, the Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club.

Who's this, this anonymous man? No, no, no, no, no. Listen, you're not allowed to call in here and be anonymous because you're on the radio. At least make up a name or something. We can't even see you. The hell you gotta be anonymous for? What's your name, man? Charlemagne, little brother. Okay.
Carlos Miller
Charlemagne.
Charlamagne Tha God
All right, listen, I want to say. How solid did he hear, man? I don't condone none of the domestic violence, but y' all were talking about duty, gonna bring his people down here. He didn't say nothing yet. He didn't say nothing yet. And y' all forgot about the test, the statement. They said in the trial, him and the security guard, they saw sug down the street, they got in all black and got them hammered. They were gonna put in that work. I keep playing with this diddy, a gangster there, but I don't condone none of the other domestic and all that other stuff. But then he ain't snitch on nobody yet. Well, let me. Let me say something to you. First of all, the trial is eight to ten weeks. We're only on week two. Okay, Number one, and I don't know how old you are, but I'm 46 years old. I'll be 47 next month. I don't give a damn about no gangsters. Cause you know what? All I see is gangsters ending up in J are dead are in the situations that he's in now. So that's what getting. That's what being gangster gets you, sir. All right, I appreciate you, man. How old are you? I'm 49. Man, if you don't grow your old ass up, go get your goddamn prostate check and take your cholesterol medicine on time.
Carlos Miller
Hey, yo, you sell?
Lauren LaRosa
That's right.
Carlos Miller
That's right.
Charlamagne Tha God
Have a Good day, sir. 49 years old, talking about Diddy, a gangster.
Carlos Miller
Yeah, so he's solid, man.
Charlamagne Tha God
I don't want to hear about no damn gangsters. Good morning. Yo, what's up, fellow man? What's up, Jeff? It's Rick. It's Rick. What's going on?
Carlos Miller
Good morning.
Charlamagne Tha God
What's up, my brother? How are you, sir? I'm not doing well this morning. I'm gonna tell you something. I got a message for the Knicks. If they gonna lose, they should just get blown out and lose like a regular team and don't be doing all this drama. I can't deal with it, bro. I cannot deal with that was the idea of thinking we gonna win and then being in a position to win and then going to overtime and losing and having Halliburton do Reggie's choke. I can't do it. I don't want to do it right now. Anthony Mason is probably rolling his grave. They have light skinned Tyler Halliburton doing the choke and shine in the garden. Like, nah, if the Knicks are going to lose, they should lose like a regular team. Get blown out by 10 or 20 and just give us a peace of mind as Knicks fans. I don't want the dramas, son. If Anthony Mason. If Anthony Mason was playing on that Knicks team last night, they would have won because Anthony Mason plays defense. I watched the last five minutes of that game and I know everybody was like, oh, they went on a 100 run after Brunson took the bench. But I was watching they defense and I'm like, if they keep playing like that, they gonna lose this game. I Could just feel it. You could see it. Like, their defense was terrible. But if we gonna lose, I don't want to lose in no dramatic fashion. New York is as stressed as it is. We got gunshots going off everywhere. The train don't work, the city is expensive as hell. I don't want the drawer. Just lose like a regular team. Get blown out by, like, 40 and let us go to bed at night the way we came in, versus giving us some kind of hope and having us lose it out itself. Yeah, I think. I think the basketball gods did that on purpose. Y' all needed to be humbled, though. Y' all was wilding this weekend after y' all went to the Eastern Conference finals. Y' all would have. We were wilding. We were wild. Cause we traumatized, bro. Yeah, well, and this just adds to the trauma. My blood pressure's up. My anxiety levels are on. On demand right now. I can hear it, Rick.
Carlos Miller
His voice cracking, man, you serious, man?
Charlamagne Tha God
I can hear it, Rick. Okay. New York down bad right now. Between this and the Diddy trial. God damn. Jesus Christ. Hey, hey. Have a good day, Rick. Appreciate you, King. Good morning. Who's this? Yeah, this. Dre, man. Dre. What's happening? Dre?
Carlos Miller
What's going on?
Charlamagne Tha God
Charlemagne. How y' all doing? Black and highly favored. How are you, sir? Man, I'm the same blessed, black and highly favored man. I just want to say today is a good day. I'm a school bus driver, and it's the end of the school year, and I gotta deal with these kids no more. Hey, man, thank you for all you do. Thank you for all you do. Yo, bus drivers are some of the most underappreciated people in our society. School bus drivers, man. Thank you for what you do, man. Nah, man, it's not an easy job, but, you know, we love the kids, and we trying to make a difference out here. They be throwing stuff at you like we used to do. Nah, I'm not going for that. I'm different type of bus drivers from the bank. Okay, we appreciate you. I know how to deal with these kids today, man. We used to give our bus drivers.
Carlos Miller
That's crazy.
Charlamagne Tha God
Nah, you know, so I try to give them some slack, but I want to shout y' all out, man. I love what y' all do up there. I listen to y' all every day, every morning, keep doing what y' all do. We appreciate you, King. One of the stupidest things in the world, too, is for kids to be harassing the bus driver. Because, you know, if you do something to the bus driver, the bus driver be off the road. Your dumbass probably gonna die.
Carlos Miller
Yeah.
Charlamagne Tha God
You know what I'm saying? Yeah. I mean, you know, they. They try. They try you. But I'm a young driver, so I know how to relate to him, you know?
Carlos Miller

Lauren LaRosa
I do have the latest coming up. You know, we're going to recap what happened in court yesterday. But today, Kid Cudi will be in court, as I told you guys. Is going to be a short testimony, but I think it will be effective even though people don't think so.
Charlamagne Tha God
I got questions about that. I wanted to know what a short testimony is, but we'll, we'll discuss when we come back. It's the world's most dangerous morning show, the Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club. It's the world's most dangerous morning show. The Breakfast Club. Charlamagne, the God. Just hilarious. DJ Envy is off today, but Lauren Laros says here. And it's time for the latest with Lauren.
Carlos Miller
Lauren becoming a straight F. She gets.
Charlamagne Tha God
Them from somebody that knows somebody. Some. She gets the details.
Lauren LaRosa
I'm the home girl that knows a.
Morgan
Little bit about everything.
Charlamagne Tha God
She be having the latest on the Latest with Lauren LaRosa. Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details. Sometimes she have a little bit of everything. Oh, it's the latest on the Breakfast Club. Talk to me.
Lauren LaRosa
All right. So yesterday in court, I believe it's day eight yesterday. So today is day nine.
Charlamagne Tha God
Spill the semen from the court yesterday. We don't say spill the tea when it comes to the Diddy case. We say spill se it.
Lauren LaRosa
Oh, my God. That just seems so aggressive for 6:53am but here we go. You know what I mean? Oh, my God. So yesterday in court, we heard from a Homeland Security Investigations agent who was a part of the team that ran into the Miami house. They finished his testimony. Did we talk to or. They talked to a clinical and forensic psychologist. Her name is Dawn Hughes. George Kaplan, a former executive assistant. And it was a ton of stuff that went down. I think most people right now are like, what is about to happen when Kid Cudi comes into court, though?
Charlamagne Tha God
We already know.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah. What you know?
Charlamagne Tha God
Well, if you read it, if you read the indictment, the indictment clearly says arson. So clearly, the alleged Diddy blowing up Kid Cudi's car is the arson.
Lauren LaRosa
Yes, allegedly. Yep. That is exactly what he's going to be there to speak to. And he's going to probably provide a lot of the background context to his and Cassie's dating fling or whatever that was. And the events that led up to Diddy allegedly getting so upset to have to do that. Now, yesterday in court, at the end of court, they kind of let you know what's about to happen. The next day they said the prosecutors had said, look, tomorrow we're going to interview five people on the stand. I said, whoa, how is that going to happen? And they said, because the, to the judge, they said, well, that is going to be possible because the testimonies will be short. And that kind of caught me off guard because I had assumed that Kid Cudi would be not a short testimony because they've Been mentioning him every week in court since court has started. But maybe they plan to get right onto what they gotta get to.
Charlamagne Tha God
Well, I was gonna ask you what does short look like?
Lauren LaRosa
I don't know time wise what short looks like. But I will say when we.
Charlamagne Tha God
Cause you've been in there, you're in there every day. So what has been short? I know dawn was 20 minutes.
Lauren LaRosa
That was short. Cassie's mom was also short. For instance, an example of not short. Cassie took about what like two days?
Charlamagne Tha God
Two days?
Carlos Miller
Yeah.
Lauren LaRosa
Two and a half days. So it's given. Maybe we might get an hour.
Charlamagne Tha God
Okay.
Lauren LaRosa
Out of K the Kid Cudi testimony. I'm not really for sure exactly what time they're going to go, but they mentioned that it would be sure. He's actually first up on the stand after they finished with this former executive assistant of Diddy. So I'll be there. His name is George Kaplan and he was a. I thought you were talking about Christina.
Charlamagne Tha God
No, Capricorn.
Lauren LaRosa
Capricorn. No.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah.
Lauren LaRosa
No, not yet. Not. I don't. No. Though those. She's not on the list to come this week.
Charlamagne Tha God
Got you.
Lauren LaRosa
Or today or whatever. But no. George Kaplan. He used to work for Diddy under Combs Enterprises and he's already began to testify about having to set up freak off rooms. Allegedly. And you know. Allegedly. Allegedly he was sent to buy drugs a couple times and use his bad boy card to do so. Allegedly. So you know where they're going with him?
Charlamagne Tha God
What about the guns? Because I saw the FBI release those pictures and everybody was so caught up. Yeah, everybody was so caught up on the dildos that had the serial number scratched off. But they in the.
Carlos Miller
Oh my God. Dildos have serial numbers?
Charlamagne Tha God
Yes. Did he had dildos with serial numbers scratched off. But what about the guns?
Lauren LaRosa
So let me tell you something about these guns.
Charlamagne Tha God
I don't know if he. Is he charged with these? Is this part of the rico?
Lauren LaRosa
I believe that what they're going to try and bring in with the RICO is they're going to show they're going to use the guns and the drugs to show and don't. I'm going to look this up to make sure that I'm hitting this right to the nail. Cuz people be mad when I don't. But what I'm assuming that they're trying to show is, is that he used all of that to add to the force and the intimidation and things of that nature. But I'm going to look that up to answer you. Exactly.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah. I just want to know if he's gonna be. If he's getting charged with the gun, because they're guns with the serial number scratched off. Automatic weapons. That's a big federal charge.
Lauren LaRosa
But let me tell you, the way Diddy's team came in the cross about them guns, I think Teeny or Tiny Garagos, Mark Gargoyles's daughter, she is not to be played with. So they did. The special agent, we went through his home. They talked about all these different guns they found in the magazines and all these things. She is like an evidence expert. She got back up on that stand, and she said, hold on. So what's your process? Y' all take pictures before and after so that we can make sure that you guys, you know, are chronicling this stuff, Right? And accurate? He says, yes. She brought back up all those photos with those guns. No photos before for a lot of the things. And she's like, well, were you the person that took the photos? The man testifying said, no. She said, well, I'm looking at a, you know, a bunch of stuff at the bottom of a closet floor. Some of these things included where they found the guns. They opened boxes and found different things, right? She's like, can you tell me which cubby these guns came out of? He said, no. And she said, okay, so you can't. She's making the point. They're trying to draw a very clear distinction between how do you even know that these are his when they're either their serial numbers on them that or they're not. You didn't do any DNA testing, like, at all. And you could have. And it's easier for you to do DNA testing when you find these guns inside of a home versus outside. And, you know, all of the elements.
Carlos Miller
To his home, though, they found them in there so that they his.
Lauren LaRosa
But they're trying.
Charlamagne Tha God
If you find guns in somebody's residence and nobody claims them, everybody in that residence is probably gonna get responsible. Right?
Lauren LaRosa
You know how many people are in. She also made a point about how many people were actually put into custody when they got to the home. You know where she's going with this. But the fact. What I. I'm saying that. Because that I don't know what a juror is going to be thinking about it, but the fact that she was even to create. Even able to create that thought as a conversation, I was like, oh, she's good. Really, really good at this.
Carlos Miller
But, hey, what up, y' all?
Morgan
It's DJ Envy.

I'm gonna look that up for you with the Rico. And then also the woman that the psychologist yesterday, the clinical and forensic psychologist that they spoke to, Dawn Hughes. I thought it was going to be a snooze festival. She was actually the best witness yesterday. She spoke generally to, like, you know, why victims of alleged domestic violence and sexual abuse go back and. Oh, my God, she was so on point with a lot of the things that she was saying. And even when she spoke directly to memory and trauma and how it makes you not remember things, of course, the defense came in and did what they did, and it was very interesting to watch them cross this. This expert, but.
Charlamagne Tha God
So the semen was just warm yesterday. Today, the semen gonna be hot.
Lauren LaRosa
It was like. Like room temperature yesterday. It wasn't even, like, heated. Today. It's gonna get a little microwave action.
Charlamagne Tha God
Okay.
Lauren LaRosa
You know what I'm saying?
Charlamagne Tha God
The cement gonna be hot today. What else we got in front page? I mean, front page news. The latest with Lauren.
Lauren LaRosa
Well, we're gonna get into Sza Tory Lanez, but we have a couple audios, and I don't want to shorten that.
Charlamagne Tha God
Okay.
Lauren LaRosa
But I will say congratulations. In the next hour, we're gonna talk.
Carlos Miller
About this on Glorilla knows.
Charlamagne Tha God
Jess has been talking about Glorilla's nose all morning.
Carlos Miller
Yes, girl. And she confirmed. She was like, indeed. Got it done.
Morgan
Yeah.
Carlos Miller
What's up?
Morgan
So.
Charlamagne Tha God
Okay.
Morgan
Yeah, it's.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yes. Can y' all explain to me, like, what do women see when they want to get a nose job? Because, I mean, all plastic surgery is personal, but nose jobs are really personal because you. I don't think the average person looks at an individual and goes, oh, that person needs a nose job. So what do y' all see when y' all look in the mirror?
Carlos Miller
I just think, you know, is what you see in the mirror. Like, maybe she felt like her nose was too big, obviously, because she wouldn't go got. You know, she wouldn't get a little one. But she obviously felt like it was. It was too big for her. I felt like the same way my whole life, but I'm not getting a nose job.
Charlamagne Tha God
You got a beautiful nose.
Carlos Miller
I know. I know. But when I was pregnant this last time with Marley, it had spread like a couch and it didn't go back. And that was like a love seat. I never got the same nose that I had back yet before I had Molly. Wait.
Charlamagne Tha God
Because you can't fix your nostrils. Like, you got big nostrils. At least not a nose.
Lauren LaRosa
Some girls don't get their bodies back. Yeah.
Carlos Miller
No, no, no. When I flare my nostrils is like, exactly.
Charlamagne Tha God
You can't close that.
Carlos Miller
I know, but it was smaller. My nose was smaller before I had my daughter. Oh, my God. That was still wide.
Lauren LaRosa
I want to be looking at your nose all day. I didn't even realize that you still had the same nose.
Charlamagne Tha God
You need to stop being angry. That's what it is. You get angry and. Yes. And you look. You do like this, and then you like.
Lauren LaRosa
I wouldn't.
Charlamagne Tha God
And then we can see, Right. Every time you get mad, you do like this. And I'm like, God damn.
Lauren LaRosa
The glow nose look like she. She did it for more of, like, the contour. Like, it's like.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yes.
Lauren LaRosa
Right here. And, you know, pinch.
Carlos Miller
It's pinch all the way through.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah, the contour just gives you that.
Carlos Miller
Yeah. You remember the little noses on the Kleenex box? Yes. Lady, she got a little nose like a little one.
Charlamagne Tha God
Well, glow likes it. I love it.
Carlos Miller
Yeah, she does. She said, andy.
DJ Envy
Yeah.
Carlos Miller
And it's cute. It's a little one.
Charlamagne Tha God
All right, we got Front Page coming up next. A little. Oh, like them, like.
Carlos Miller
Yeah. Little newsy.
Lauren LaRosa
Wow. So I gotta have a baby, lose my nose, and what?
Carlos Miller
Okay, Michael Jackson girl, not lose your damn nose.
Lauren LaRosa
Oh, my God. My boobs gonna be out of shape. My nose gonna be out of shape. What the heck?
Carlos Miller
It's all worth it when you see that baby.
Charlamagne Tha God
That baby gotta have a man to have a baby, so. Well, you got to pick one. You gotta. You got a few suitors.
Lauren LaRosa
Ah, yes.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, you got about.
Carlos Miller
Are you going out to the doctor?
Lauren LaRosa
Oh, my God. What are y' all trying to do to me up here?
Carlos Miller
And you hang outside the court. That's what the real.
Morgan
In the court?
Charlamagne Tha God
Yes.
Lauren LaRosa
Nobody in the court. Okay? Let's get out of here, please.
Charlamagne Tha God
We got Front Page News coming up next with Morgan, it's the Breakfast Club.
Morgan
Wake up.
Charlamagne Tha God
Wake up. You're locked into the Breakfast Club. Yes. The world's most dangerous morning show. The Breakfast Club. Charlamagne. The guy just hilarious. DJ Envy is off the day. Morgan is here with Front Page News. Good morning, Morgan.
Jess Hilarious
Good morning.
Charlamagne Tha God
Good morning.
Jess Hilarious
All right, let's get back into it. So the US has officially accepted that luxury jet from Qatar to use as Air Force One. The Defense Department confirmed the news on Wednesday. A spokesperson said Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth accepted a Boeing 747 from the middle Eastern country in accordance with all federal rules and regulations. Maybe because he can accept it. I'm not sure. But, you know, this is actually supposed to be a gift for President Trump. They said the DoD will work to ensure proper security measures are considered for an aircraft used to transport President Trump.
Charlamagne Tha God
Let me ask you a question. Is Pete Hexaf a government official? He is.
Jess Hilarious
So maybe he can't. He accepted.
Charlamagne Tha God
I'm trying to figure out the U.S. the U.S. constitution prohibits government officials, government officials from accepting gifts from any king, prince or foreign state. The reality is what they're doing is unconstitutional. And that's just it. And as long as, as long as people, you know, don't push back on it, don't show no resistance towards it, then that behavior will continue to be normalized. And I guess it's normalized now.
Jess Hilarious
Yeah, well, yeah, you ain't, you ain't lying. I was trying to figure out the loophole in this. But moving on, another news. The Justice Department is dismissing Biden era investigations into the Louisville and Minneapolis the police departments. Now, DOJ made the announcement on Wednesday saying the lawsuits were filed last minute by the Biden administration after President Trump was reelected. The lawsuits accused the departments of widespread patterns of unconstitutional policing practices tied to race. It said its civil rights division will dismiss the lawsuits against the departments. Now, this would be cases like the death the of, of George Floyd in Minneapolis and that of Breonna Taylor in Louisville. Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg welcomed the news. Let's hear his comments.
Charlamagne Tha God
We did not oppose DOJ's motion to dismiss today because we see the writing on the wall and it's time to move forward. We can't afford any more delays. There's no point in delaying the inevitable. Let's focus on those reforms and improvements. And that's why we did not object.
Jess Hilarious
So of course, you know, on Monday, May 25th will be the 5th anniversary or mark the 5th year that in remembrance of that, the death of George Floyd. So the DOJ said it will, was also being. It will also be ending investigations into other departments, including in Phoenix, Trenton, New Jersey, Memphis, Tennessee, Mount Vernon, New York, Oklahoma City and Louisiana and the Louisiana State Police.
Charlamagne Tha God
I wonder what are the reforms and initiatives? You know, it's not like the George Floyd Policing act was ever passed. So like when he. I'm all for, you know, moving on. If justice has been served, if we have Weeded the, you know, the wrong people out of the system. And if there is actual reforms and initiatives. But what are the reforms and initiatives?
Jess Hilarious
That's not probably a blanket answer. You know, I'm sure that's going to be case by case, depending on the, the state and local police departments and those municipalities. So some, some probably better than others. But to, to your point, there is, there is no blanket answer for that. In other news, President Trump is again weighing in on the Department of Justice investigation into New York Democratic Attorney General. At the Oval Office yesterday, Trump said Letitia James committed major fraud with her real estate transactions years ago. Let's take a listen to President Trump in regards to that.
Charlamagne Tha God
She signed in Virginia. Yes, she said she lived in Virginia. She's the New York State Attorney General. And she did that for tax reasons, so she could take advantage of taxes. It's major fraud. Mortgage documents and fraudulent everything.
Jess Hilarious
So Attorney General James has denied the allegations and claims it's only retribution for the many cases that she's brought against Trump. The FBI has confirmed it's working with the DOJ on James's case.
Charlamagne Tha God
I mean, but we, we do know that Tis James is absolutely correct. Right. This is just retaliation for the charges that Tis James bought against Donald Trump. Like, Donald Trump has a list and Tis James is high on that list list, as I'm sure, Alvin bragging. I've been bragging. Very quiet. Probably rightfully so. But, you know, I just, we do know this is retaliation.
Carlos Miller
Yeah.
Jess Hilarious
And he said that, he said that he would, you know, be coming after her if he was reelected. So Jersey Congresswoman LaMonica McIver is facing up to 16 years in prison on two assault charges in that chaotic incident at the Newark ICE detention center earlier this month. Now, the Democrat is accused of assaulting federal agents as they move to arrest Newark Mayor Ras Baraka at a protest outside Delaney hall on May 9th. Now, she spoke to MSNBC and here's what she had to say in regards to that incident.
Charlamagne Tha God
Well, I think one, this is political.
Lauren LaRosa
Intimidation from the Trump administration.
Jess Hilarious
I mean, me being charged is absurd.
Lauren LaRosa
You know, especially when I'm just there.
Charlamagne Tha God
To do my job.
Jess Hilarious
The confusion and the chaos that you.
Lauren LaRosa
See was caused by ICE officials and Homeland Security.
Carlos Miller
They created this unnecessary situation by arresting the mayor.
Jess Hilarious
And of course, she's referencing Mayor Ross Baraka of Newark, not to be confused with New York, those who aren't in the, in that area. Now, she appeared virtually for a 15 minute hearing on Wednesday and was released on her own recognizance. She did not enter a plea. The feds charged McIver the same day they dropped trespassing charges against Mayor Baraka. Now, President Trump weighed in on those charges against the congresswoman. Let's take a listen to his comments.
Charlamagne Tha God
That woman was out of control. She was shoving federal agents. She was out of control. The days of that crap are over in this country. We're gonna have law and order. I watched that video. I didn't see her assault anybody. I didn't see her look out of control in no way, shape or form. You know, I mean, she was definitely, you know, in between the agents and. And the mayor, but they still got to the mayor. If anything, I saw them pushing her around.
Carlos Miller
Right?
Jess Hilarious
That's essentially what everybody else is saying. Baraka and as. As well as McIver. Now, meanwhile, your. Your good girl, Nancy Mace, she's filing a resolution to expel Congress. Congresswoman Lamonica McIver. Now, Mace said the House has set a precedent for expelling members charged but not yet convicted of serious criminal offenses. And she added, the public deserves to know that criminal conduct in the halls of Congress has consequences. So we will see what happens with Congresswoman I read something that said that what she.
Lauren LaRosa
What Nancy Mace filed is a long shot. But, like, I don't know. I feel like people. The way that people are weaponizing, like, their power and their ability right now.
Morgan
Now, I don't.
Lauren LaRosa
I just. Do we. Is there an end to this? Like, what is the balance, like? Because it's only going to get worse.
Jess Hilarious
The scales are tipped right now in Republican favor because it seem like the.
Lauren LaRosa
Minute they can get you up out of here, they do it. And then there's no. If you fight back, if you push back now, you out of. You insane or whatever.
Charlamagne Tha God
Trump said, I highly disagree with what. What Nancy Mace is doing, and I saw her say repeatedly yesterday that nobody is above the law. Yes, there is people that are above the law. Law. President Donald J. Trump is above the law.
Lauren LaRosa
But that's what I'm saying. There's no. Like, we talk about it every day, but, like, then what happened?
Charlamagne Tha God
I mean, there's no consistency because. Because of what Morgan just said, that the balance of power, you know, the scales have been tipped.
Jess Hilarious
Very tipped, absolutely. And very much in favor for the Republican Party. Unless the. Unless the Democratic Party galvanizes and organizes in a way that, you know, puts everyone on the same page, then I don't see it letting up anytime soon. Especially being that we're only. What. But a few months into the four year Term. So there's that. And that's your front page news. Y' all can follow me on socials at Morgan Media.

It's the world's most dangerous. Born and show. The Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club.
DJ Envy
Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlamagne, the guy we are the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building.
Charlamagne Tha God
The icon living Dawn Stanley. Welcome back. How you feeling?
Morgan
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I usually come back when we win the championship. We lost this year, so thank y' all for.
DJ Envy
Don't you start that.
Charlamagne Tha God
You're always invited.
DJ Envy
Well, the new book, Uncommon Favor, is out right now. Basketball, North Philly, my mother and the life lessons I learned from all three is out right now. How are you feeling?
Morgan
I'm feeling great. I mean, my friends have received their books, and they have nothing but, like, great things, like my cup running through.
Charlamagne Tha God
They had you all over the place yesterday.
Morgan
Yeah, they did. I gotta. I gotta give you a shout out. And you sparked the conversation. So many people have asked me to write a book, and I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, yeah, right? But it came from so many different people. And then when I came on the show in 2022, we talked about it and you just, you kept the conversation going. You're real persistent with it. You know, that's what I'm attracted to most is like somebody that actually.
DJ Envy
Persistent.
Morgan
Yeah, persistent. And. And know the process. Like, you knew the process. I don't know if you knew my story, so. So to speak, but you knew enough to know that, you know, this, this book will be received well. And. And I appreciate that.
Charlamagne Tha God
Well, people like you don't come around too often, Don. Like you're a once in a generational just person, you know, and you really learn that when you read the book. Not even just as a coach, but as a basketball player, but more so as a child of Philadelphia.
Morgan
Man, I mean, I had fun. Like, the process was fun. It's liberating. It is. You know, you don't really know how you're gonna be received. But every person, like, I'm actually waiting for a critic. Like, I'm waiting for somebody to say what didn't go right in the book. And we have yet to get to that point. And one of my friends was, you know, listening, had a long road trip, listened to the entire book yesterday, and she was like, I'm in tears, I'm laughing. I get it. Like, the leadership part of it, like, like, I mean, the emotions that are in the book. And it's me. So some of it is emotional me, some of it is just. I'm able to just get it out because I remembered most of it and I had to call on my siblings to kind of fill in the gaps. But it's me. Like, it's so me. It's so relatable. It's so. It was an easy process.
Carlos Miller
So was it therapeutic at all to do it?
Morgan
No, it was just natural. It wasn't like it was natural. And I think sharing my story is just relatable to people. It's not like, you know, I don't think it's a overdo it with the accolades. It's like the accolades are intertwined and everybody's accolade won't be like Olympian and national champions, but on a certain level, like, if you graduate high school, it's relatable. If you graduate college, it's relatable. If you could pull yourself out of the projects of any city, it's relatable. And there's no wrong path. Like, there's no, like, you can get off tiltered. But then you gotta come back by, like, habits come back by. The lessons in the book are just, just. It relates to every single thing that you would want to accomplish in life. And I'm not just saying that to pump the book, but it really is like, I'm only giving what other people are giving me, the feedback they're giving me. And it's cool to hear people just relate to the book.
DJ Envy
I love it because, you know, people know you from different things, right? Some people know you as a player, some people know you as a coach. But with this book, it starts from where you came from, which is North Philly, right?
Charlamagne Tha God
And you talk about Raymond Rosen housing projects.
DJ Envy
And you talk about, you know, you said growing up in the projects was the best decision your parents made. Explain that a little bit and how that formed to the woman that you are today.
Morgan
Just imagine the people that don't grow up in the projects. What you think happens in the projects, you think probably only one thing. Crying like bad things. And for me, it was the foundation of giving me the scars I needed, the chinks in the armor I needed to succeed. Like, there was unity in the projects. There was discipline in the projects. There was manicure lawns. There was my block I grew and never had trash in was captain in a way that would compete with any suburban lawn like, or neighborhood. So it was all those things that helped build you up. Like, I'm unbothered and unafraid to tackle on the most challenging things in life, because that's nothing compared to where I grew. That's nothing. Like. So I think it gave me the foundation I needed to just be able to coach every day, like, coach young people. Like, generations are changing. Coaching talent and individuals and young people nowadays is very, very challenging.
Charlamagne Tha God
I love how you embrace your inner child. I love this picture on the back. What's a moment from your childhood that still shapes how you, like, handle pressure today?
Morgan
You know, there's a story that I share in the book about my father, who, I mean, I'm over 50 now, right? But when he. I don't know if I was 12, 14, maybe I got invited to play on this team in this competition outside of. Of Philly, like, it was a road trip. And my father was like, no, you can't go. Like, that hurt me. Like, it really hurt me. And I remembered it so vividly that for him to deny me that, because it was one of the first times, but I'm 13, 14 years old. Whose parents gonna let them somebody else take their child out of state? Like, I wasn't thinking about that. I was solely thinking about basketball. But it was one of the. One of the experiences that drove Me, Like, I didn't, I didn't like my father for that. Like, I didn't like him for the decision, parental decision that he made. But as I'm older now and reflecting on, and writing the book, it is, I need conflict. I know that about myself that I need conflict. Like, everything can't be comfortable. Like, if I have, you know, 10 people supporting me, you know, here I need about 10 to 12 people that's hating. Like, I, I need it. I mean, it helps me.
DJ Envy
Drives you.
Morgan
It drives me. Like, it, it, it drives me.
Carlos Miller
That's why I don't have a critic yet. I'm waiting for a critic for the book right now.
Morgan
Right? So it's, it's. That is the ability. Like, you know, we, we lost at UConn this year. Like, you know, the critics are saying I can't coach.
Charlamagne Tha God
I didn't understand that. That pissed me off so bad.
Morgan
I'm like, like that. That's what they say. But I'm like, okay, well, but, but, but again, everything that I've needed in my life, you know, failure, success, happens to me.
Charlamagne Tha God
It's.
Morgan
And Chris, it's uncommon. Like, but, but I know our loss this year will somehow help us. It will. I'm not just relying on it, helping us. I'm gonna put action to it so it means something.
Charlamagne Tha God
I loved when you said that in a post game conference, you was like, I hope that they're crying. I hope that my players are crying. I hope that it hurts. Cause that'll make them be better next year.
Morgan
Yeah, I mean, the most growth takes place when you're uncomfortable. The most, if you're comfortable all the time. And I've said this as well, like, like parents really don't want their kids to feel what they felt like pain. And I'm like, I want them to feel a little pain. I want them to hurt. I want them to be uncomfortable. And I love them enough to allow them to sit in that space because. Not for long, but they need to fight their way out of it because nothing's going to be given to me. I don't like that place. I don't like to feel that. So I fight like hell to try to not feel that. But by prepping, by doing everything I need to do to not feel that. It's almost like when you grow up in the projects and you grow up in poverty, you don't want that anymore. Like, you don't want that once you've lived and you've, you know, earned a certain keep, you, you want to keep that because you. You want to change generations in your. In your family. And I. I hope I'm able to do that.
DJ Envy
We're still kicking it with Dawn Staley. Charlemagne.
Charlamagne Tha God
You seem like you've always been a natural born leader, like, throughout your whole life, even when you was a child. It made me wonder, if coaching never entered your life, where do you think your leadership would have shown up instead?

Oh, man, that's a hard question. Like, I'm competitive. I probably would have been a losing gambler. But trying like heck. Like, trying like heck. I. I don't know. I mean, I. I do. I love kids, so my work would have been with kids. And I'm glad that coaching found me. Like, I'm glad somebody saw something in me that I didn't see in myself. I didn't see coaching. I didn't want to coach at all. And I don't know why, because I had great coaches. I had great people in my life that challenged me, that were good at it. But when I had coaching friends, the only thing they talked about were their teams and basketball. And I'm like, yeah, this is what I do every day. I do this every day. Why would I to want talk about it every day? Why would I want my life consumed with it? And here I am 25 years later, like, loving it. Like, it's. I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing. And when you're able to live out your passion, it's the most beautiful, liberating, and incredible experience. Like, I know my players really get something out of our relationship. They do. They get. They build character. They navigate life. But for me, I'm overjoyed when they graduate, I'm overjoyed on draft night. I'm overjoyed when they're able to see their hard work produce what they want in life, even if they don't make it to the league, they're equipped with being successful with anything. Like, seriously, that does something to my heart when young people are able to get what they're supposed to get.
Charlamagne Tha God
You talked about your players. You got a lot of success stories from your time coaching at the University of South Carolina. But in the book, you make it no secret that Asia Wilson is your favorite.
Morgan
Well, I mean, here's why. And I've coached a lot of great players. Like, Asia was the very first player that was the number one player in the country to decide she wanted to come play for us. And I know it's in her backyard. And we didn't look like a national Championship team. Like, we never won a National champ. We had never been to the Final Four. So for her to trust us with that part of her career meant that she believed in us. She trusted us. She knew that we were gonna get her to where she needed to go as far as still being the number one draft pick, like, four years later. Like, when someone. And it wasn't just her, it was. Her entire family believed in it. And it took some at times them thinking, did we make the right decision? Because she started her first game, and then she was terrible. Like, scrub, like, right?
DJ Envy
Scrub, like is pretty far. That's where that's fall.
Morgan
So I was like, I gotta take you out of the starting lineup. But I didn't even tell her that. I told her parents first. And her mom even was like, you sure? I'm like, you gonna have to trust me on this one. Like, you just gonna have to trust me. And she was like, all right. But at the end of her freshman year, she was National Rookie of the Year. She was first team all sec. She was Rookie of the Year in the scs. Like, she got all the accolades coming off the bench. And when someone, as a coach and leader and mentor, young people believe in you like, they really do, when that's reciprocated. Cause I believed her. I knew that she was gonna be the one that takes us to that next level. When you're able to have the same synergy, you know, Asia was hell to deal with, right? Cause she's young. Like, she went to private school for, like, 12 years. All of her schooling was private school. So she needed to be roughened up a little bit to get her ready for what she faces. Like, she faces the critics right now, but I know she can handle them because we took her through all of that. Like, she had dyslexia right throughout her college career. And I'm like, okay, you gonna read in front of the team every time we have a game? Cause we have, like, a scripture reading and an inspirational reading before every pregame meeting, and there's somebody that has to read it. So I was like, you gonna read it? Took her her senior year. Couldn't do it. The first, second, the third. Her senior year, she read out loud. And she had fun with it. She was like, y' all, this is a long one. Y' all gonna have to bear with me. Like, it was that kind of liberation. So when she gave her entire self to me, the good, the bad, the ugly, the entire. You know, that's why I just have a really strong, like, relationship with her. Like, she could tell me anything. Like. Like, I'm non judgmental. Like, young people won't want to tell you everything because they think you're gonna judge them. I don't judge. Like, there's nothing that any one of my current former future players can tell me that that's gonna rock me that I haven't seen. Like, everybody's been through. Like, there's no new problems. It's the same old recycled problems. So just give it here so you're not dealing with it longer than you need to.
Charlamagne Tha God
You know, it's interesting, right? Cause I was watching you. You did? Good Morning America, the View, Kobe, all of that stuff like that. So you was working, but I still know you're still the coach of the University of Carolina. But I was like, oh, you know what? She'll be fine, because she used to play ball and coach at the same time, which I found out about in the book. That was insane.
Morgan
Six years.
Charlamagne Tha God
That's crazy.
Morgan
Six years. I mean, when I. When I got into coaching, I was like, in my prime. So, you know, the AD at the time, he kept asking me, like, he was persistent. Like, I'm like, no, no, I'm not interested. I'm playing in the wnba. This is. And then he just kept asking. And then. Then I ended up having to go meet with him because the Final four was in Philly, and I'm from Philly. He knew I was gonna be there, so I went and sat down with him, and he asked me two questions. He was like, can you lead? Did you do your research? And I was like, yeah, I basically was the captain on every team that I played on, right? And then he was like, can you turn Temple women's basketball program around? I was like, oh, is that a challenge? Like, is that really a challenge? Cause I'm drawing the challenges. And I never answered the question. I don't even think I answered the question. He was like, hey, can you just come down the hall and meet some people? So I was like, okay, I'm here. He took me in this conference room, sat me at the head of the table, and there were like, 10 to 12 people sitting around this table, and they're asking me questions like, where do you see yourself in five years? I'm like, playing in the wnba. And they were like, do you have to see yourself coaching? And I'm like, no. Like, y' all, they were interviewing me. I was on a job interview, and I didn't know.

Because all my job interviews were tryouts like basketball, like physical tryouts. Needless to say, I took the job. Two weeks later they, they just agreed to allow me to continue to play and coach. So I was, I was in like basketball utopia because I, I, I was coaching and I, I'm actually still able to express myself on the court because I wasn't ready to hang up my shoes. I was still very much a player and I think that allowed me to play a little bit longer than I wanted to and that allowed me to keep staying fresh with what was up with teaching young people because they were more enthralled with me playing because that's what they wanted. Like I was living their dream right before their very eyes. And I think it just helped me be a better coach, be a more understanding coach because, because I was a player receiving information from a coach. And then it just helped the dynamics of what I was doing.
DJ Envy
We're still kicking in with Dawn Staley. Her new book Uncommon Favor is out right now. Basketball North Philly, my mother and the life lessons I learned from all three. Now I wanted to ask about your father, right? You mentioned your father earlier and you said your relationship wasn't that great, but you said it got better over the years. Do you understand some of the things that your father was trying to implement in you as a young girl? Cause they said that your father looked at women's basketball and felt there wasn't too many ideas, opportunities and didn't know if you could sustain at that time. And do you wish that you kind of put yourself in his mentality back then as a child? Cuz even with the name of the book, it says Basketball North Philly, my mother, but not my father. So explain that a little.
Morgan
You know, I think, I think even the one like family members that are, that are closest to you. Yes, I thought I, Yes, I should have had had a much more mature outlook on that relationship. Now that you can reflect on it, now that you can see, because I held that and if you can hear that, I still hold that instance. But when you're coaching, right, you come into a situation where you hurt a player like you hurt that player that was like, probably 12 years ago, I hurt that player. It drives me to not hurt other players. And I wasn't mature enough or savvy enough to handle that at 12 or 13. So I do think it's. It's helped me be a better coach. It helps me be a better person to really like again. I didn't talk about things I held that my father probably didn't. Probably doesn't. He's been. He's been dead and gone since 2001. Like, I don't even think he really knew how much that hurt me. But also use that to. To navigate the nose. Like, I. I handle no's a lot better because of that.
Charlamagne Tha God
I love the respect, the power of habits chapter. And in that chapter, you speak extremely highly of South Carolina's own Malaysia for W. And you even refer to her as a younger, savvier version of you. You say, this is a quote I heard from so many adults who gave their own parents hell only to see their teenagers return to faith. Now it's my turn in the barrel. So when I see you had. When I read that, and I was like, man, she had so much love for Malaysia. What was your initial reaction when she decided to enter the portal? And was it surprising to you?
Morgan
Surprising? No. I think, you know, being in this space, you become to expect the unexpected. Right? I still have much love for my Lazia. Like, much love. Like, I want her happy. She and her mom came in. She said, I think I'm going to get into the transfer portal. So I'm like, okay, well, you think or, you know? And she said, I know. And I said, well, I only want you happy. Like, I really do only want our players happy, whether that's with us or somewhere else. Just be happy. I told her, don't look back. I know it's probably gonna be hard to not look back to see, you know, you leaving your hometown and all that. I said, don't look back. Like, you made this decision. Just go forward with it and don't look back. You're always gonna be a Gamecock. You're always gonna be welcomed here, here. I wish her the. The best. And when I say that, people probably think, oh, but I do like, I. I really do like, because I am what's for us is for us. What's not is what's not. Let's keep moving. I don't stay in despair. I don't stay in those spaces for very long. I'm like, okay, we got to get recruiting. We got to get back into this portal to see who we can get to help us. I think she's going to have a promising career. I do think she's a generational talent that will never leave. Like, she does things on the basketball court that I've never seen a woman do, and she'll continue to do that and will continue to be happy for her, except the one or two times that we have to play them like it's on. Like, she's gonna be super competitive against us. We're gonna want to win, and it's gonna be a pride thing that comes with just being a competitive. And we got much love for her and her family.
DJ Envy
Now this, this has nothing to do with the book, but I wanted to ask, since we're talking about players, you know, the WNBA has. Has taken a huge jump in the last couple of years. And I love it. My daughters love it. My sons love it. What do you think what's going on in the WNBA where it seems like they're pitting, you know, Caitlin Clark against Angel Reese.
Charlamagne Tha God
Right.
DJ Envy
Kind of what they did in NBA back in the day. But it was more teams, right? I guess not. Maybe not teams. It was Magic versus Bird, this one versus that one. But this one, it just seems like. It seems very, very personable. So what are your thoughts? Like, even the other day with that foul and they called it a flagrant foul. I don't necessarily agree, but what are.
Charlamagne Tha God
Your thoughts on it?
Morgan
Well, I think the officiating has a hard job. That's one to decipher whether or not that's a flagrant one or not hard job. And I do think they understand the dynamics of angel and Caitlyn. I do. I think it's great for our game. Cause it's like, yeah, like it's a sport. Treat us like a sport. Don't treat. Does anything other than being a sport. It happens in every sport. Soccer, basketball, football. It happens in every sport. So let it be. I'm gonna. I'm gonna take the lead of angel and Caitlyn. And that lead is. They said it was a. It was a foul. The officials got it right. We're moving on. That's what I'm gonna take their lead. Okay. I think is it pulls people in. I. I do think there are new fans that haven't watched our game and they really don't know. So they only. They're only singularly focused on Kate.
DJ Envy
That one part.
Morgan
Right, Right. So when you're that. And that's. That's their idol. That's who Attracts them. But I just hope that they'll open their eyes to the rest of the talent that is there. Like the product. The product is incredible, like, and it's in high demand. We played Caitlyn in the national championship last year, right? 20 million topped off at whatever it topped off at the most. I know they saw us. I know they saw us. I know they saw us have an undefeated season. I know they saw Camila Cardozo. I know they saw Ashland Watts. I know they saw Tessa Johnson have an incredible career or day. I know they saw Malaysia do some incredible things. Like, so. So open your eyes up to seeing outside of Caitlyn. Well, not even outside included, because she's a part of a part of it all. So, you know, I'm looking forward forward to the next time they play too. I'm gonna be glued in just like everybody else. Yes.
Charlamagne Tha God
I want to go back to that, that, that chapter. Respect the power of habits. Right. When you talk about Malaysia, it is with such reverence. How do you balance disappointment as a coach with support for somebody like her who. Who just wanted to make a decision for herself?
Morgan
If a young person is gonna speak on what they deem is good for them, that's half the battle. Like, half the battle is to be able to speak up. And you know how hard it was for her to do that. Like, really hard, really hard. So I understand that dynamics of her decision making. And then it's like, okay, well, what'd he do with it? Like, if she was my player and there was a chance for her to want to come back, or if she decided that this is. That that's not what she wanted to do. I was going to talk to her about why, why. Why did it come to that? What makes you think this isn't a place for whatever she said we would. We would go from there. I thought Malaysia, Malaysia was getting better. Like, I really. I saw a whole lot of growth on and off the court to. To where LSU's gonna get the. The best of her now. Like, we went through the, you know, we went through the hard part of just kind of smoothing some rough edges and getting her to create good habits. Like, I do think habits are the thing that allows you to elevate. Right? I do. So I think what we've given her and what she's given us will allow her to have much better days, much more consistent days than she had with us at our next stop.

Lauren LaRosa
Why you didn't tell me she came in here looking for me?
Carlos Miller
She did. Ain't the first thing she said was, I need my Diddy updates. Where's Lauren?
Lauren LaRosa
That almost made me cry when Jess told me that on the podcast. She I love her.
Charlamagne Tha God
And it's time for the latest for Lauren.
Carlos Miller
Lauren becoming a straight face.
DJ Envy
She gets them from somebody that knows somebody.
Charlamagne Tha God
She gets the details.
Lauren LaRosa
I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about everything.
Charlamagne Tha God
She be having the latest on the Latest with Lauren LaRosa. Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details. Sometimes she have a little bit of everything. Well, it's the latest on the Breakfast Club. Talk to me now.
Lauren LaRosa
Charlamagne, in the last hour, you asked me a question about Diddy. The. The alleged guns that they found or they found them, but that they're alleging are his AR15s and how that relates to the indictment. So I found the exact answer to that. So the special agent Gerard Gannon that was Talking about the AR15s is talking about this because in the indictment they are trying to say that Diddy himself allegedly were brandish firearms to intimidate others. So it is to the gist of what I was mentioning to you, but I wanted to make sure I answered that. Now, moving on in other court things or trying to get back to things, Tory Lanez. Tory Lanez has had the people up in arms these last couple weeks after he was stabbed 14 times because there are now representatives and different people that are pushing for him to be released. So there is a woman, her name is Rep Luna, she is from Florida's. Anna Paulina luna of Florida's 13th district. She is calling for Tory Lane's freedom. And she sat down with Chris Cuomo on News Nation and had a conversation about this. Let's take a look.
Charlamagne Tha God
Listen, this case was actually initially flagged for me by Amber Rose. And the reason why I took particular interest in it is because of the fact that they actually had evidence that they presented to me in my office that actually disproved the conviction. So as you stated earlier, that.01% of DNA, they actually found four people's DNA on that firearm, none of which was Tori's, not to mention there are zero fingerprints on the actual magazine. And also, too, as you said, 01% chance. Also there's been ring footage that's been.
Jess Hilarious
Been obtained that actually disproves the whole dance.
Charlamagne Tha God
Megan, I actually reached out today to Gavin Newsom's office and we are requesting an emergency meeting. So, Luna, who did it? You know, Chris, that's not for me to weigh in, and that's definitely for the judge and the jury. But what I will tell you is based on the evidence that we have, the evidence that we have says that he wasn't the guy. What's the evidence they have now? They said the ring camera.
Lauren LaRosa
She said the ring camera. She said that she talked about the DNA, that there were four people. People's. Four people's DNA found on the gun.
Charlamagne Tha God
People knew that. That's why it was inconclusive.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah. And I think that when people talk about this whole DNA thing, they need to understand that inconclusive means that, yeah, they weren't able to fully rule him. I mean, that they weren't able to fully say he 100 had the gun, but they weren't able to rule him out either. So it doesn't make it that he didn't have it. It leaves it open. It's inconclusive.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah. I don't remember them saying four people. I just remember them saying it was a male and a female. Female.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah. She. She's saying for. She said a lot of things. Even that ring camera thing there. They had an eyewitness that testified about, you know, different things as well, too. There's a lot of things that you can debunk in what she's saying or. Or throw information back at what she's saying. But I think overall, a judge ruled that Tory Lanez was guilty. And until it is back in front of a judge and there's anything else that is said, who are we to be making Megdas life. Horrible because of what's happening. Whether regardless of how you feel, I think it should be left to Tory court. Now there's a Tick Tocker online who said the gist of what I just said. No, look, so this Tick Tocker, she went online and she's like, look, y' all out here arguing about this Tory Lane thing, y' all. And she threw this at Tori's team. She said, take it to a judge. Don't bring it to us online. Don't have press conferences. Take it to a judge.
Charlamagne Tha God
It's that simple. And I said this earlier this week, like, you know, we're acting like this didn't go through a court of law. Like it was a due process. It was weeks and weeks of testimony. It was evidence that was presented. I don't understand how all of that can happen. But then one random person in a car says, I overheard somebody say something. And everybody just rushes to just, you know, act like what happened in court isn't true. And by the way, I wasn't there, so I don't know what happened. I'm just telling you that this is what played out in court.
Carlos Miller
And then he just saying, this is what he heard. He just now said, this is what he.
Charlamagne Tha God
And he heard all of this while the trial was going to on. Why didn't you say something then?
Lauren LaRosa
Right, well, okay, so SZA commented the reason why this Tick Tocker's video is kind of everywhere right now is because SZA came in and commented in defense of Megdas and she said the density in response to the video, she said, I'm actually so shocked and so is in all caps at the amount of people fully comfortable with bullying a woman that's proven to be a victim of assault. Like, out loud, where other people can see you, like you finna be stupid out loud. And she capitalized out loud out.
Charlamagne Tha God
So I just don't understand how all the evidence and testimony that happened in a court of law weighs less than just some guy who said, I overheard her say X, Y and Z. I don't understand why people's brains work like that. I rather listen to this person who said they overheard something but didn't feel like it was urgent enough to say it while the trial was happening. But now he speaks out and you just agree with him as opposed to. To everything you hear in court. I'd rather you just shut up and not say nothing and not be on any side. I just. It just. It makes no sense. It only makes sense online.
Carlos Miller
Could it be Tory got Stabbed.
Charlamagne Tha God
And he.
Carlos Miller
He's like, you know what? This has gone too far. Let me say what I heard four or five years ago.
Charlamagne Tha God
But you should have said it while the trial was happening.
Carlos Miller
But that's what I'm saying.
Lauren LaRosa
Well, he's alleging that he was put in a bad position by his attorneys at that time and he couldn't.
Charlamagne Tha God
And who got this ring? Who house got the ring camera footage?
Lauren LaRosa
I'm not for sure.
Charlamagne Tha God
That's my.
Lauren LaRosa
People are just saying stuff.
Carlos Miller
It's all kinds. Like, do people know where they was? Like, where, where they was at, where this, where this whole thing started?
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah, they were outside of a. Outside of the party. It was like 4:30 in the morning. They were. They were in a place.
Carlos Miller
I know, but whose house is it out there? Whose house it was?
Charlamagne Tha God
And if that lady saw ring camera footage, where is the footage? Like, people just be throwing stuff online and folks just run towards it and gravitate towards it and repeat it and use it to justify how they feel.
Carlos Miller
Because apparently, like, they was at. Allegedly, they were at a big celebrity's house.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah.
Carlos Miller
Having fun.
Lauren LaRosa
We had one of the dinners and then they left. Kylie, Look, I don't know. I just. All I'm saying is, is that if Tory feels like he was wronged, he can take it to court, that it's his right to do so. But I think.
Charlamagne Tha God
How do you take it, I take it to court? How. I mean, you were in court.
Lauren LaRosa
They can, they can attempt. They've been attempting. They write letters to the judges. There's things that you can do to attempt to get a judge to reconsider. Just do that. But I think people's main thing is it's like, until that's done, please, let's, let's, let's back off of making a person's life miserable. Because all we got right now is what was ruled on and going to leave it there. But speaking of people online and rulings, why me insert himself in this Diddy stuff?
Carlos Miller
Yes, I just saw him.
Morgan
Y' all.
Carlos Miller
Stop. Stop talking about me. Stop saying this.
Charlamagne Tha God
What do you mean me inserted himself in Diddy? I don't like how you.
Carlos Miller
He did not say. She did not say.
Lauren LaRosa
No, not in Diddy, but in this Diddy stuff. So he tweeted a couple days, diddy don't get bend.
Carlos Miller
Diddy don't get bended. He made a bending.
Morgan
So ain't nobody meek tweeted just to put.
Lauren LaRosa
Just to put on. On public record. Record the. No, he had tweeted something else before this he was talking about. He was talking about the little rod guy or whatever, right? But then he. He goes to clarify what he actually saw at Diddy parties. He said the craziest thing he's seen at a puff party is coke vibes. And that's going on at all these parties. I'm from north Philly. I had millions since I was 23. I don't even want to be addicted to weed. Not judging, but I see it different. His original tweet said, in the midst of the Diddy. In the midst of Diddy on federal trial, I want to bring back up that little ride. And his lawsuit was dropped. He never said my name in these blogs. Amplified that whole agenda against me. My culture don't believe it, but it's an attack on my brand. I want to get to the bottom of it.
Charlamagne Tha God
What happened?
Lauren LaRosa
Remember. Remember they brought me into it. Remember they said the rapper from Philly originally in some of the civil.
Charlamagne Tha God
So Nick just volunteered this information.
Carlos Miller
He is not the only rapper from Philly.
Charlamagne Tha God
He was on the stand.
Lauren LaRosa
No, he just was on Twitter.
Charlamagne Tha God
So he took this.
Lauren LaRosa
I just don't understand why.
Charlamagne Tha God
Why?
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah, I wouldn't want to. Like, I wouldn't want to keep bringing myself back up into this.
Charlamagne Tha God
Nobody was talking about this situation. Did anybody talk about Meek in court?
Carlos Miller
No.
Lauren LaRosa
No.
Charlamagne Tha God
Nobody talking about you. Meek. Why?
Lauren LaRosa
But to Meek's defense, in the beginning, when them lawsuits dropped and they was mentioning the rapper and all that they people was like, that was Meek.
Charlamagne Tha God
Meek. That feel like years ago. That feel like years ago. Nobody cares. Nobody's thinking about you.
Lauren LaRosa
Me said, hold up. Wait a minute.
Morgan
He was like.
Carlos Miller
And we did not dress alike, y' all. We wasn't twinning my outfit first.
Charlamagne Tha God
You know what it is when you and we. But we got to go to Donkey today. But you know what it is when you are at home on your phone and your. Your timeline is constantly filled with pictures of you and Diddy dressed alike and people saying things about you and Diddy. You think the whole world is talking about it. That's your small bubble, Meek. No, I promise you, nobody was thinking that.
Lauren LaRosa
I just don't want him to insert himself in this.
Charlamagne Tha God
No, please, we gotta wrap up. Don't. Don't. Donkey of the Day is up next. It's the world's most dangerous morning show, the Breakfast Club. The Breakfast execution on the donkey of the day is something to behold.
Morgan
He gave me donkey of the Day, and I deserve it.
Charlamagne Tha God
People need to know.
Morgan
Well, you need to tell them.
Charlamagne Tha God
I am.
Morgan
You have the Voice.
Charlamagne Tha God
Tell them it's time for Donkey of the Day.
Jess Hilarious
It's a read, but you're so good.
Charlamagne Tha God

Lauren LaRosa
Damn Charlemagne.
Morgan
Who you giving Dusty of the Day to, ma' am?
Charlamagne Tha God
You know, Sexy Red. Let me drink some water.
Lauren LaRosa
You be drinking the hell out of that water.
Charlamagne Tha God
I do Donkey Today for Thursday, May 22nd goes to Elias Rodriguez. Elias is in his early 30s and he is the alleged killer of two staff members of Israel's embassy in Washington DC. Let's go to NBC News for the report, please.
DJ Envy
Overnight, a deadly shooting in Washington D.C.
Charlamagne Tha God
Tonight a heinous crime was committed.
DJ Envy
A gunman opening fire at the Capital Jewish Museum Museum killing two staff members.
Charlamagne Tha God
Of the Israeli Embassy.
DJ Envy
New video showing the suspect being detained shouting pro Palestinian messages. Police say the shooting happened shortly after 9. 00pm at a museum event hosted by the American Jewish Committee.
Carlos Miller
The suspect was observed pacing back and forth outside of the museum. He approached a group of four people, produced a handgun and opened fire.
DJ Envy
The suspect, identified as 30 year old Elias Rodriguez from Chicago, then entered the museum and was detained by event security, according to authorities Israel identifying the victims as Yaron Lezinski and Sarah Lynn Milgram, a young couple who are about to become engaged.
Charlamagne Tha God
The young man purchased a ring this week with the intention of proposing to his girlfriend next week in Jerusalem. Now this isn't political for me. This is about humanity. Okay? I know the Israeli versus Palestinian conflict is one of the most intense debates in the world today and has been for thousands is. I am fully aware that Elias shouted Free Palestine. Free Palestine while in police custody and implied that he committed the shooting. This is definitely driven by what is currently happening in Palestine. Since October 7, 53,655 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza according to the Gaza Health Ministry. And those numbers may be underreported because thousands of bodies are believed to be buried under rubble. I understand all of that, but what I want us to understand is this is why you can't ignore what's going on in the rest of the world. What's going on in the rest of world impacts us here whether we are aware of what's going on or not. Okay. I was in my office this morning and I looked at this couple, Sarah and Yaron. Sarah Milgram and Yaron Lusinski, I think it is. I was watching them this morning and I read that they were on a night out and they were about to get engaged and it just simply hurt my feelings. Okay? I don't care what their race is, their ethnicity. All I saw was two humans who became casual casualties of a system that is failing us all. Just like all those kids and innocent people being killed in Gaza are casualties of a failed system. And it doesn't seem like it's going to be an end to it anytime soon, okay? People are just going to be out here getting it back in blood, eye for an eye. And I personally don't want to live in a world like that, even though we already do, okay? We are already in that world because any of us can be casualties of a civilization system. Another country could send a nuclear weapon over here right now and kill us all because they don't like our government, because they don't like our system, when most people in America don't even like our government. They don't like our system, but we become casualties of it because we are part of the processes and the structures and policies of this country, whether we want to be or not. And that's what I mean when I see this couple, okay, that Elias Rodriguez gun down. He don't know what they was on, okay? For all he knows, they might have worked at Israel's embassy and absolutely disagreed with how Israel is handling Gaza. We don't know, but that's why Martin Luther King Jr. Said, An injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. The same empathy I have for the innocent people and children being killed in Gaza is the empathy I have for this couple, Sarah and Yaron, okay? Same empathy I have for the people who got killed at the concert on October 7th. That could be any of the bus at any given time. There was just a couple on a night out and got gunned down. I don't know about y' all, but because of all of these mass shootings that happen in this country, the way my anxiety is set up, when I'm out, I think about stuff like this, okay? If you don't, God bless you, all right? But situations like this are my worst nightmare. You just out with your lady and somebody shoots and kills you. I'm not with that. I don't respect it. I don't condone it. I don't like seeing innocent people being killed. Meanwhile, the puppet masters pulling the screens are highly protected. Protected, okay? Them and their families don't have to worry about this stuff nearly as much as we do. Okay? Don't get me wrong. I know that people in charge of these systems can get it, too. But we, the people have way less protection than they do. I tell y' all all the time on this devil damn radio every day of our lives. We are trying to avoid crazy, okay? Do you understand how civilized we are as a society? I know it don't seem like that, but think about it. Hundreds of millions, millions of people interact every day. And for the most part, we mind our business. Okay? Because all it takes is one guy like Elias Rodriguez to ruin all our days, okay? We need to really pat ourselves on the back sometime. And thank God that more of us aren't snapping. Elias, I understand why he snapped, but I disagree with innocent people getting killed because of his snapping. What Elias did isn't activism. It's terrorism. Terrorism. And any of us could be the victim of that terrorism. And if the reports are correct, this couple, Sarah and Yaron, was attending an event to discuss humanitarian responses in the Middle East. In North Africa.
Carlos Miller
Damn.
Charlamagne Tha God
So they was trying to build bridges, not burn them. Okay? We can't be like this as a society. We can't ignore what happened to this couple in D.C. we can't ignore what's happening to innocent people in Gaza. If you don't have empathy for it all, all, I don't want to talk to you, okay? Because violence begets violence. Hatred breeds more hatred. And if we allow our grief and anger to justify targeting innocent people, whether in the name of Palestine or Israel, then we lose our humanity. Okay? This shooting in D.C. should be a reminder that the conflicts overseas have real consequences here at home. And this is why we all should be demanding an end to violence on both sides, okay? Shared humanity has to prevail over Division. Division. Compassion gotta outweigh rage. Commitment to peace has to be louder than the voice of hate. Please give Elias Rodriguez the biggest he ho. Just my thoughts. Just the way I'm feeling at the time as people. Yeah, well, let's not say that. Let's have some. Let's have some faith in a higher power, okay? All of this has to be happening for a reason, okay? In some way, we have have to trust the process. As disgusting as the process is.
Carlos Miller
Yeah.
Charlamagne Tha God
You know? Yeah. Let's hope for better days we have just fix my mess coming up next. Right, Jess?
Carlos Miller
Yes.
Charlamagne Tha God
Cuz you don't. Don't do that.
Carlos Miller

Degrees Whole thing is it turns up the sweat and odor protection when you turn up the effort and good thing it does because Cool Rush fans really turned up the effort to bring back the original fan formula.

Cool, crisp and fresh. It's back in Walmart, Target and other stores now for under $4. There's a reason why it's been the number one men's anti purchasement for the last decade.

Charlamagne Tha God
I mean, y' all was. Y' all was playing with lasers and all that stuff, so it just.
Carlos Miller
Okay.
Morgan
What?
Carlos Miller
What's wrong?
Charlamagne Tha God
I just wanted to know as a man, is 6 inches with girth a good thing or is that too small?
Carlos Miller
No, no, I don't think it is. But I mean, I can't speak for every woman. Some women like for their walls to be torn down. Some women like, like to still have their walls when they're done a session. I am one of those who need my walls and I want them. I don't want them to be torn down. So 6. A 6 inch girthy is not bad. I actually like that. That's. That actually puts you a little bit above average, because a lot of people got six inches, but no, girth is skinny like a pencil and a pencil shark.
Charlamagne Tha God
That's what I heard you say. Yeah, the skinny. So I was like, okay, yes. But I don't like asking females that stuff. But why?
Carlos Miller
We are the ones. We are the ones to ask. Would you like to ask a man.

Lauren LaRosa
Kim Kardashian has finally graduated law school after six years. Are you guys excited?
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah.
Carlos Miller
I mean she has been freeing, you know, freeing the brothers. So that's great. She's been. She's been paying a big one role in freeing brothers.
Morgan
So that's great.
Charlamagne Tha God
And freeing brothers.
Lauren LaRosa
You got at the ERs when you.
Carlos Miller
Talk about absolutely a lot of people.
Lauren LaRosa
I mean, I think it's a great thing that she did it and yes, she has been working a lot. You got the penis on my face.
Carlos Miller
I'm so. No, not on your face. It's on your jacket. I'm so shocked that it's on you like this.
Charlamagne Tha God
You don't let the penis distract you with the diddy tr. Don't let it distract you here.
Lauren LaRosa
It don't sh. Me in life. It don't strike me anywhere. I'm focused, man.
Carlos Miller
That's right.
Lauren LaRosa
So Kim Kardashian, graduation, graduated after six years.
Morgan
She.
Lauren LaRosa
It took her a little minute because of COVID and her schedule, and she gets a lot of, like, flack for it. Yeah, people come at Kim about a lot of things, but this whole law school thing, people are like, girl, you're not ever going to really be a lawyer. You're Kim Kardashian. Let's not. But she actually did do it. So in California, you can complete a four year law office study program. It's called reading the law. Instead of actually going to law school. And from here, she can now go to try and pass the bar so that she can actually, actually, you know, be an active practicing attorney. But I think people forget that her dad was a big attorney. It seems like this is something she wants to do and she's actually been active in doing it. I think because she's Kim K. And she be in. On Instagram in bikinis, we will be trying to play with her a little bit. And. And she's done a lot now. They. She had a little ceremony in her backyard celebrating her graduation. And Van Jones was there, and his video is getting a bit of flack too. Let's take a listen.
Charlamagne Tha God
Thank you. Kim Kardashian. Six years ago, seven years ago, when you're working on criminal justice, just you were not embraced by anybody. You were working with people who were thrown away, often by their own families. You're working with people who are literally just one step from the grave. A household name on five continents raised.
Lauren LaRosa
Her hand, said she wanted to help.
Charlamagne Tha God
Not when it was easy, but when it was hard, when it wasn't trendy. And as a result, when you say 70,000 people are free, it's easy to rush past that number. The first step after alone, which would have never been signed except for Kim Kardashian. Getting that snowball started has freed 40,000 human beings. Yeah, you got, I mean, you got to salute Kim, but you also got to salute, you know, a lot of the black eternities and activists that she worked with. Britney K. Barnett, me, Angel Cody. They've. They've both been here on the Breakfast Club. Jessica Jackson, she's been here on the Breakfast Club as well. So. Yeah. I mean, yes. I mean, I can't sit here and act like Kim wasn't putting in work.
Morgan
Yeah, yeah.
Lauren LaRosa
And Van Jones actually did mention them, and I believe Britney was there as well. But I think some, some of the stuff, Some, some of the stuff that Kim gets thrown at her is, is unwarranted because you need. A lot of times when you, you're bringing up these cases that people don't want to talk about, you need a name that makes people be like, oh, okay, we care about this. And she, she put her.
Carlos Miller
To get them interested.
Lauren LaRosa
She puts herself and her brand on the line to do that. So I'm not mad about it.
Charlamagne Tha God
And she didn't. She don't just lean on our celebrity. She went back to school. She. She. She went to school. School. She's got a degree in it now and she's actually working with the people who actually have been doing this work for a long time. Like, to your point, Lauren, you know, you amplify a Britney Barnett, you amplify a Me angel Cody, you amplify the work of Jessica Jackson has done just by being Kim Kardashian. So I ain't about to sit around and hate on that.
Carlos Miller
And then she, even then she, like, she went to school and then she, she failed the bar and then went back and retook it or something. Right?
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah.
Morgan
She did not give up.
Carlos Miller
Like, she went back and she. This was something serious that she was passionate about. She wanted do it.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah. She was having issues with the baby bar.
Charlamagne Tha God
Okay.
Carlos Miller
Yeah, but, but, yeah, but that didn't stop her is what I'm saying. Like, she, she. This is something that she really wanted to do and shout out to Van Jones for recognizing her in that.
Lauren LaRosa
People love just grabbing and messing with. I don't know what it. Why people do that with Van Jones. They love making fun of him online. I don't know why I love Van. Yeah, but he didn't even cry in this thing that he cries.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, he cries over white people a lot.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah, he cries a lot. He didn't cry in this one, though, that I. All the videos Khloe Kardashian posted, no tears. So he got through it. But real quick, I thought that this was interesting. Amazon is giving refunds back, right? To. To different people or different people who've been shopping at Amazon over the years. Some of these refunds are going back as far as 2018. So following a recent internal review, Amazon said that they identified a very small subset of returns that they're going to issue a refund to that they issue refund to without completing the payment. So these people got a refund, but they didn't get the money. And we could not verify that the correct. Because they couldn't verify whether you got the correct. Correct item or if it was sent back to them. So no, nothing was issued. Now, I don't know if y' all have ever returned something on Amazon or not.
Carlos Miller
Yes, but it is a hassle. So I really don't like to do it. I just resell what I want.
Lauren LaRosa
Why you think it's a hassle? Because you have to take it. Like the certain places.
Carlos Miller
Yeah, you have to find a place, first of all, a place. And they. They have like these little off site little facility that you got to take and trust people to get it back to them. And then they take forever to give you your money back or to send you. To give you the credit and to send you the stuff back.
