Recap & Tone

While the show is lively and humorous, it doesn’t shy away from rigorous debate on NYC politics, race, policing, and media narratives. Candid, sometimes combative, yet always conversational—the hosts let guests and callers have their say, and Mayor Adams is both defensive and deeply committed to justifying his record. The commentary on pop culture is irreverent and often self-referential, with a recurring skepticism toward superficial industry drama.

Good morning usa.

[Mayor Eric Adams]

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo.

[Mayor Eric Adams]

Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo.

[DJ Envy]

Jess. Hilarious. You running a little late? Charlamagne, the God, he'll be here in a second. And it's Thursday. Yes, they both late. But there's a good reason. Well, I guess you could say it's a good reason. Again, the UN Is in town. So, you know, when the UN is in town, all the world leaders, they transcend. They come to New York City, and they have these huge meetings all over the city. And it just so happens some of the UN dignitaries are staying in hotels that around the radio station. So what that means is when we come to work, they make us get out of our car before we can actually even get on the block. Right. Today was a little worse than yesterday. Yesterday, they just checked the car and kept it moving. It's raining in New York City today, so they actually made me get out the car. You know, you had to open up the back, open up the front. You had to open up every door. Today they actually did a whole thorough check. Not just sweeping with the dogs, they actually went inside with flashlights, looking in the glove boxes, making sure, I guess I didn't have any weapons or bombs or any explosive material. And then after that, they let you, you know, go on your way to your parking lot. So when I spoke to Charlamagne a couple of minutes ago, he was getting checked. So I don't know if he. If they did a thorough check or more of a check. I don't know which. With Charlamagne, you never know. But they did a thorough check. So they were doing a thorough check with Charlemagne. So he'll be joining us in a second. All right, now, Mayor Eric Adams will be joining us this morning. He's the mayor of New York City. He's running for reelection. He's running as an independent. Last time he ran, he was a Democrat. Now he's an independent. Now he's actually losing in the poll. So we'll talk to Mayor Adams. I'm just curious to what. What changed? Why does it seem like people just dislike him so much now? So we'll ask him that, and also we'll find out everything that happened with his case. If he is he. If he's aligned with Trump and everything going on with Mayor Eric Adams and even the crime in the city, because they say crime is down, but it doesn't feel like that. You know, we talked yesterday with Mimi. And we said an officer got, you know, pushed onto the tracks a day ago. Last night, an officer was leaving work. They were married. And now on their way home, somebody tried to rob him, and they actually had to shoot the person. So we'll talk to Mayor Adams again about crime in New York City. Like, they're saying crime is down, but it doesn't feel like that. What up, Charlemagne?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yo, what's the word?

[DJ Envy]

They did a thorough check with you while you fixing your pants.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Can I just sit in here and settle down for a second?

[DJ Envy]

I told the world they did a.

[Mayor Eric Adams]

Thorough check on you. You come in here and you fix it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Check on everybody. It's the Secret Service. But, you know, it was cool. They remember us from yesterday.

[DJ Envy]

They was co. Yeah, they were cool today.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So they let us. They. They. They let us get through a little bit quicker. But, you know, it is what it is, man. It's life. What you supposed to do.

[DJ Envy]

All right, well. Yeah. Well, Mayor Adams, like I said, will be joining us this morning, so we'll kick it with him. When we come back, we got front page news. Mimi will be here, so don't go anywhere. And it's TI's birthday today, so we're gonna get some TI in the mix, man. It's the Breakfast Club. Come on, let's go. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Jess. Hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get some front page news. Start off with some quick sports. Last night, I actually took my son to the New York City football game. They played Miami and Messi played. Messi is my son's favorite player. And Messi got busy last night. He scored two goals. New York City Football Club lost 4, 0. But what a game it was last night. So salute to the New York City Football Club of Miami won last night. And also tonight and Thursday Night Football. The Seahawks take on the Cardinals on Prime at 8:15. What's up, Mimi?

[Mimi Brown]

Good morning, Amy. Good morning, Charlemagne.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Peace, Mimi.

[Jess Hilarious]

Good morning.

[Mimi Brown]

All right, y'.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All.

[Mimi Brown]

Well, we start in Dallas this morning where gunfire broke out at a U.S. immigrations and Custom Enforcement field office. Now, three detainees were shot. One is dead. Two others are fighting for their lives in critical condition. No ICE officers were hurt. Now, the shooter has been identified as 29 year old Joshua John. Officers say he opened fire from a nearby rooftop before turning the gun on himself. The FBI is calling it targeted violence. Now, investigators say shell casings left at the scene were engraved with the words anti ice. But John's background, though, it paints a More complicated picture. Public records show he once faced a minor marijuana charge, lived with his parents in a Dallas suburb and spent a lot of time online talking about video games, cars and pop culture. He voted in both Democratic and Republican primaries and showed little sign of strong political activism. And for now, investigators are still working to understand the motive for the attack. But the political fallout has already started. President Trump calling the shooting despicable and blaming what he called the radical left Democrats for demonizing ice. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem promising to hire more ICE agents, casting the shooting as part of a broader war on immigration enforcement. And J.D. vance, his comments are probably getting the most attention this morning. Let's hear what he had to say.

[DJ Envy]

But what we know is that in Dallas, Texas, an ICE facility and Immigrations and Customs Enforcement facility was opened fire upon by a violent left wing extremist, a person who wrote anti ICE messaging on their bullets. And there's some evidence that we have that's not yet public, but we know this person was politically motivated. They were politically motivated to go after law enforcement. They were politically motivated to go after people who are enforcing our border.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I wonder how do we know that this individual didn't, didn't, you know, have people that were deported, you know, have family members that were deported or a girlfriend? I don't know. I'm just throwing things out there. Do we know that?

[Mimi Brown]

We don't know any of that. We are. They, even the FBI has said it's still under investigation. And so to come out and say it's kind of like what we saw with the Charlie Kirk shooting, you know, they come out and say these things. And so immigration advocates are pushing back, pointing that out that it was detainees, not officers, who were struck by gunfire. They say that while Washington frames this as an attack on law enforcement, it's the migrant community that feels, they feel like the real target. Wednesday shooting, though, in Dallas was the second attack on this ICE facility in recent weeks. Just last month, a suspect was arrested for making a bomb threat against that same office. And in July, a police officer was shot outside another detention center just 40 miles away.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I think it's extremely dangerous for the Vice President of the United States of America to come out and immediately politicize this situation. I don't know why, why they do this. I don't know why the right immediately blames the left. I don't know why the left immediately blames the right. Why can't everybody just take a step back and let's see what this person's motive was. First.

[Mimi Brown]

Exactly. Let the investigation play out. And we're less than a week away from a possible government shutdown. And this time, Republicans say they're ready to make it as painful as possible for Democrats. Now, talks between the two parties have gone nowhere for weeks. Democrats want to protect the Affordable Care act subsidies. Republicans want a short term clean state spending bill. And neither side is budging. That has left President Trump and GOP leaders feeling confident they can pin the blame on Democrats if the government shut down, shuts down. Now, a shutdown would have a wide ranging effects. Federal workers could be forced to report without pay. National Parks would close. Agencies like Veteran affairs, the IRS and Health and Human Services could see disruptions, consequences that would hit families, seniors and veterans before they touch lawmakers. Now, Republicans say they are united in their position. And with Trump back in the White House, they believe they control the narrative by deciding what services are deemed essential. GOP Senator Mark Marshall put it bluntly, saying red states will be spared the hardest. Red states will be spared, will be spared the hardest hits, while blue states should expect more pain. Now, Democrats, however, argue that Republicans are the ones pushing the government toward a shutdown. And Trump canceling a meeting this week with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Senate Minority Senate Leader Chuck Schumer earlier this week only underscore the stalemate. They say he's signaling that he's willing to let the deadline pass without a deal. So at its core, this fight is about leverage. Republicans want to weaken Democratic priorities like health care funding, and they insist that these programs must be protected. While Republicans, they want a clean spending bill. So they say right now, both sides remain dug in with the possible shutdown just days away. So we'll see what happens.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So why they have a pissing contest as usual? We the we the people suffer. Yeah, American people suffer.

[Mayor Eric Adams]

That's right.

[Mimi Brown]

Exactly. So we'll, we'll, we'll continue to watch this and see what happens next week. Coming up, another headline for another headache for Disney and, and maybe for you, too. We'll tell you what's happening coming up next.

[Caller (various callers)]

Yo, man, I want to give Fox News Charlemagne's donkey of the day, man. They. They compare Charlie Floyd's death to Charlie, too. I'm sorry.

[Mayor Eric Adams]

Charlie Kirk, right?

[Caller (various callers)]

Yeah. The Charlie Kirk death, man, that's crazy, man. The two deaths are totally different.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, I don't understand the comparison either. It's. I really don't. I don't, and I don't. It's a lot of things I don't understand about that situation. I don't understand the Charlie Kirk Martin Luther King Jr. Comparison. He's like, I don't know why they playing. I don't know why people playing, like, tragedy Olympics with these things, right?

[Caller (various callers)]

I mean, like, it just totally makes no sense, man. I mean, like, one got killed by in the hands of police officers. The other one was assassinated. How does it compare the two? They talking about the riots and things like that. Nature. Like, why. Why did Charlie Kirk. The people for Charlie Kirk riot? Now, I'm not condoning any death. You know what I'm saying? Recipes to both brothers. But I mean, it's totally different.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, because, you know, Charlie Kirk didn't get paid by people who we pay with our tax dollars.

[DJ Envy]

Hello? Who's this?

[Caller (various callers)]

What's good? Envy this Veto.

[DJ Envy]

Vito, what's up? Where you calling from?

[Caller (various callers)]

I'm from Milwaukee, bro. What up?

[DJ Envy]

What's up with you, brother? Get it off your chest.

[Caller (various callers)]

Hey, I was just noticing how the Internet and the streets is totally different. You know, on the Internet, online, they against everything Trump implements as far as, like, cleaning up the ghettos and, you know, the murder rates and all that. But then, you know, in real life, you got. You got folks working class that are all for. And they support that. Like Chicago flips red movement and just all the corrupt within. Within the Democratic Party, holding down the black community for so many. Me for so many years. So I just wanted to throw that out there, you know, is totally different from what I would say, what the communities, the people in the communities want.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I would say that it's also still a little bit more nuanced than you just made it. I know, I know the Chicago flips red movement, you know, Zoe. Zoe's been up here before, but I think that it's a little bit more nuanced. Like, the Internet isn't all one way, and the streets aren't all one way either, brother.

[Caller (various callers)]

Yeah, yeah, but you know what I'm talking about, Charlemagne.

[Mayor Eric Adams]

You.

[Caller (various callers)]

You try to defend it and be the arm of the. Of the. The democratic whatever, and then I want to throw one thing out there.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No.

[DJ Envy]

You don't.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Right there. Right there is exactly what I'm talking about. Because you'll say that, but then you'll have other people that'll say, I'm maga. So you understand what I mean when I say things are a little bit more nuanced than people think?

[Caller (various callers)]

No, no, I think that in the reality, Charlemagne, respectfully, I got a lot of respect for you, but the reality is, in your true form in real life, you know what's right. But sometimes you. In a situation where you have to say the opposite.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, I'm not. No, I'm not. Charlemagne is never in the city. Any. Anything you hear come out of my mouth is how I feel. It has nothing to do with nothing else. But. But once again, that's what I mean when I say things are a little bit more nuanced because there's people on the Internet who are against Trump, and then there's people on the Internet that are for Trump. And then in the streets, there's people on the Internet, I mean, in the streets, that are for Trump, and there's people that are against Trump. Everything is a lot more nuanced than people try to make things.

[DJ Envy]

Hello? Who's this?

[Caller (various callers)]

Hey.

[DJ Envy]

Morning.

[Caller (various callers)]

This is Adele. Good morning, DJ Energy Charlemagne.

[DJ Envy]

What up? What up, Adele? Get off your chest, brother.

[Caller (various callers)]

First, I want to congratulate your daughter on the engagement. I thought it's a really beautiful thing. I admire your family.

[DJ Envy]

Oh, thank you so much.

[Caller (various callers)]

Doing great things. But as I thought, once you announced the engagement, I thought it'd be really cool, or maybe too late, if you want. Charlamagne reenacted that bad boy scene with the boyfriend.

[DJ Envy]

You know, the funny part is when.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

How about Reggie?

[Mayor Eric Adams]

Yeah, I know.

[DJ Envy]

Talking about Reggie, the first time I actually met Andrew, he was at a car show in Houston, so he had to pull in it. And all Madison's uncles was there, and all my friends was there, so they. They put him through the ring of that. That first day. I've actually felt bad for him the first day, but he held it strong, and now he's became. You know, he's become part of the Family, but they put him through the ring already.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The first time Envy met Andrew, he passed out because he thought he was meeting himself.

[DJ Envy]

Definitely did not. But June, Danny and everybody, they. They put him through the ringer. You know, had a hard talk with him, but, you know, he. He stayed. And he's a good young man, bro.

[Caller (various callers)]

Yeah, what you said, I can tell he's a great young man. So I'm happy for y'.

[Lauren LaRosa]

All.

[Caller (various callers)]

And like I said, I admire y'. All. All y'.

[DJ Envy]

All.

[Caller (various callers)]

You're a beautiful family. I read your first book and just to see how you and your wife raise your, I think sex kids, which doesn't happen too often in this day and age. It's a really beautiful thing to see. And you too, Charlie, I think you have.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We have three daughters, my brother.

[Caller (various callers)]

Wow. See y' all doing it. Keep. Keep it up, man. Keeping an example to a young black man.

[DJ Envy]

Thank you, brother.

[Jess Hilarious]

Oh, congratulations.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yes.

[Jess Hilarious]

Do we know her name?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yes, we do. So her name is Rocky Irish Mayors. And Rihanna lists her birthday as September 13th 13th, 2025. Baby girl. And it's so cute, too. So in the photos that Rihanna posted, she's holding the baby and, you know, in the pink and all the things. And then when you swipe over, it's like these pink little baby boxing gloves for, like, Rocky.

[Jess Hilarious]

So cute.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, it's really, really cute. Yeah. So congratulations to them. Now, in other news, switching gears so here in that we've been having a lot of conversations about the RICO situation because Diddy and all the court stuff. And I'll actually be headed back to court today. We'll talk about that in a second. But before we get there, we gotta back up because Ray J made some claims on the stream, and he's claiming that he is now working to develop a federal RICO against Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner.

[Jess Hilarious]

By what sex tape?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Well, you know, he says that he feels like the sex tape ruined his life, but basically he's saying that because of everything that they've been able to do behind the scenes. Let him talk. Let's listen to Ray Day on stream.

[Caller (various callers)]

Federal rico, though. KK and Chris, the federal RICO I'm.

[Mayor Eric Adams]

About to drop on Chris and Kim is about to be crazy.

[DJ Envy]

I'm talking about I'm on the news every day.

[Mayor Eric Adams]

Like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Meaning, like, I'm going say a lot of. Anybody know Kim and Cool with Kim? They need to tell him now.

[DJ Envy]

The rain is coming.

[Mayor Eric Adams]

The feds is coming.

[Caller (various callers)]

Hey, right.

[DJ Envy]

The feds is coming.

[Mayor Eric Adams]

It's nothing I can do about it.

[DJ Envy]

It's worse than Diddy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's worse than Diddy.

[Jess Hilarious]

Y' all hear this?

[DJ Envy]

BO is worse than Diddy.

[Mayor Eric Adams]

The feds are coming to investigate. Yeah, because it's like, I can't be.

[DJ Envy]

The dirty guy no more.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I think if it's one thing we should have learned from the Diddy situation is everything is not a rico, guys. Okay? This is what happens when the feds overplay their hand and overcharge people like they did with Diddy. They hit Diddy with a rico and it wasn't a rico. Now everybody just throws the word RICO around.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, it's just the word.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Everybody goes rico, rico.

[DJ Envy]

But it's.

[Mayor Eric Adams]

It's.

[DJ Envy]

He hasn't said what they being charged with. What did they do wrong?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And Ray J is kind of contradicting himself because he said it's worse than Diddy. But Ray J, you were also the person saying that Diddy shouldn't be charged with rico.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I have that Audio. Let's take a listen to Diddy. Diddy. To Ray J's a few months ago, talking about Diddy and comparing it to the Kardashians. Let's take a listen.

[Mayor Eric Adams]

And I feel like it's becoming a.

[DJ Envy]

Circus act for stuff that doesn't make any sense for what Diddy's being charged for. I mean, there's a lot of bad things happening, and we all agree with that. But a rico, racketeering, sex trafficking. Like, I've been with Diddy a long time, and if I haven't seen any of these kind of heinous acts happening, then where was I when all. When it was happening? If you told me that the Kardashians was being charged for racketeering, I might believe it. But Diddy, sex trafficking, and all these other extra things, like, it's to me, knowing him, knowing the situation, being around with most of the people that's testifying, you know, I just feel like there's somebody at the top who's making a statement, who's making a point.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah. So he doesn't really provide direct context as to what the rico, like, what the charges will be and why. But every time he talks about Diddy, he bring a rico. He brings in the Kardashians. And, you know, now people are wondering why.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All I'm saying, everything isn't a rico. Everything isn't an organized criminalism enterprise.

[DJ Envy]

But I think it's these words that just. People just keep using. Like, RICO was one of them. Triggered was another. Toxic was another. Gaslighting was another.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Nothing wrong with those words.

[DJ Envy]

These words, when you use them the wrong way.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Just nothing wrong with those words.

[Lauren LaRosa]

We've been on tic tac.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Just using the wrong way.

[Lauren LaRosa]

He's been on Tic Tac.

[Jess Hilarious]

Tic tac.

[Lauren LaRosa]

You know, that's the UN Side of it.

[Jess Hilarious]

I know.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Well, I mean, I don't know. I just don't understand what the charges would be like. What do they do as a group date? Like, day. Like athletes, rappers, like, what are they gonna be in trouble for?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Drop on the clues. Bombs for Ray J. Ray J is just stirring. Stirring waters to catch fish. Okay. All the time. Yes, man. Yeah. Rachel know exactly what he doing, man. Rachel. Yes, but what if.

[Lauren LaRosa]

What if he really is trying to put together a rico, though?

[DJ Envy]

Like, based on what, though?

[Lauren LaRosa]

I don't know.

[Jess Hilarious]

There's gonna be a lot of money spent in court for no reason.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I'm going to that case.

[Jess Hilarious]

I will be there. I'm not gonna see nothing.

[Lauren LaRosa]

It will Be very entertaining. When Ray J gets on the stage.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Ray J is going viral. That's exactly what Ray J is doing. Okay. Subscribe to Ray J's Twitch. What's Ray J's Twitch?

[DJ Envy]

I don't know.

[Jess Hilarious]

And he got something coming out with Zeus. He got something coming out with Lamel.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, I saw that. Love Cabin. I think that's what it's called. Lovecraft. Ray J, his twitch is actually raging. Subscribe to Ray J's Twitch.

[Jess Hilarious]

There's something he got coming out.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You will always be entertained. That's right.

[DJ Envy]

You going back to court?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah. Yes. So I wasn't going to go because I thought that they were going to be there. Just discussing what next week for the sentencing on October 3rd would be like for Diddy. But yesterday I talked to someone in the know who let me know that Diddy's team believes that today he, Diddy, may get the news that the two man act charges or at least one of or something will be acquitted. So a while ago, Diddy's team came to the judge in court and said the prosecution did not do a good job of proving their case. They don't. They didn't submit the right evidence. Y' all keep talking about what he did with prostitution, but he never directly booked hooked prostitutes. He never had sex with any of the male escorts. He also didn't make money off of this, like, prostitution ring that you guys are claiming. So this can't stand. So they submitted that. The prosecution shot back with, you know what, you know, to fight that. Today the judge makes the decision. But the reason why, I'm told his team thinks that today is going to be like a big day. And I saw, like, Christian Combs post a video of him and Diddy and, you know, do the whole thing is because everyone's being called into court. Like, Diddy's coming into court. Of course his attorneys will be there. But. But it could have went a different way. They could have just did it via Zoom. The judge could have submitted.

[DJ Envy]

Have they done things with Diddy and Zoom where he was on?

[Mayor Eric Adams]

Yes.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, we did. We. They did things with Diddy on Zoom toward the end of the case, right before the verdict. Like that. That's a thing that could have happened. But yeah, so they think that this may be a thing. All of his family, you know, will be there today.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So I know the man act been around since 1910, but every time I hear people say the man act, I just think about all those mens, all those male prostitutes, all that semen on the nipples of man.

[Lauren LaRosa]

If the family is getting ready and listening to the Breakfast Club any morning.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Sound crazy. Diddy was. Diddy wasn't. What is it? Guilty of the man act. He acted on them men, didn't he?

[Lauren LaRosa]

You sound like somebody.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Grandma sounds funny.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Speaking of Diddy and men.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh boy.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So you know how they probably change.

[Jess Hilarious]

The name of the act now just because of him?

[Lauren LaRosa]

There were all those character letters that were submitted, including the one by Young Miami that we talked about in his mom and his family. But there were also character letters admitted by other inmates that have been working with Diddy's and they say that Diddy has created this org, not organization, but this program in jail where he's teaching his fellow inmates business skills and they wrote letters singing his praises to the judge. In the letters, they they. The program is called Free Game with Diddy and it's a course behind bars.

Free game with Diddy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Nah.

[Lauren LaRosa]

But yeah, so they're saying things like, you know, now they have purpose because of the class. He showed them little adjustments to like their everyday life that add up to big changes. He's teaching them about, you know, chasing the easy money and how that's the wr way to achieve real success.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't know if I would want that though. He might try to keep him like, you know what, you're doing such a good job in here cleaning up the streets. I don't know if I would want them inmates writing me them type of.

[DJ Envy]

Letters, cuz Diddy's gas has always been great, right? So that's been good for the inmates.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, I mean, and I imagine Being an inmate and getting a one on one, 1011 1.

[Jess Hilarious]

Just imagine the free game, free game with Diddy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That is going to be interesting though. When Diddy gets out, is he going to continue to do stuff like that with the inmates? You know, I mean, like, you know how Shaka Shankur always goes to speak to inmates all over the country? Like I was with Shaka a couple weeks ago at Rikers, you know, talking to the inmates. I wonder if did he gonna continue to do stuff like that?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Well, they said he wants to, you know, help other people who have done things that he's done. Remember they were saying that nobody does what he's done.

[Jess Hilarious]

Nobody has done that. I don't think so.

[Lauren LaRosa]

But we'll see what happens today. I'll let you guys know what happens. I think it's going to be pretty short, though. I think court will be fast today.

[Mimi Brown]

Good morning, Envy, Jazz and Charlamagne. How y' all doing?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Peace. Mimi.

[Mimi Brown]

Good morning. Okay, so let's talk about Jimmy Kimmel and his big return to late night tv. The numbers are in. And it was a huge success. Six million viewers on ABC. 15 million clicks on YouTube. His first show since the suspension is now the most watched Jimmy Kimmel Live episode in more than a decade. Now, according to DC or ABC. Excuse me. The episode drew in in 6.3 million viewers on traditional television and more than three. That's more than three times the show's normal audience. Now, online, the impact was much larger. Kimmel's nearly half an hour monologue on free speech. It has gone viral, clocking more than 15 million views on YouTube and tens of millions of more on social media, making it his most watched monologue ever. Now, all this happened despite the show being blacked out in nearly a quarter of American homes. Stations like our station groups like nexstar and Sinclair, which controlled dozens of ABC affiliates, they refused to air the episode. But viewers in those markets went online instead, turning Kimmel's comeback into a streaming event. Now, Kimmel was sidelined for nearly a week after a controversial monologue about the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk that sparked backlash and political pressure. But now the numbers suggest the attempt to silence him may have backfired. Critics and free speech advocates say the suspension set a dangerous precedent. And instead of shrinking his audience, the controversy super, supercharged it, making Kimball's return one of the most talked about late night moments ever.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, as you said, Mimi, this is, this is his highest rated show in over a decade. So this lets me know the audience is still there for late night. But you have to give. Folks must see tv. It has to be an experience. It has to be something they feel like, like they can't miss. I don't want to wait to watch this on YouTube. I need to see this in real time. Now. I don't know how many, how many, how many more of those you can create, though.

[Mimi Brown]

Yeah, yeah, that was probably, I mean, and I'm thinking this week, you know, the numbers will probably stay high, but we'll, we'll see what happens. But because it was blacked off in about 23 of the markets and it, he still broke records is, it just goes to show you, people don't want to be censored or they don't want their show censored or told what they can watch and what they can't watch.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, I watched it again last night because I, you know, I felt like the monologue when he came back was a little too safe for my liking. You know what I mean? Especially being of, of the moment that we're in, I feel like it should have just been a, you know, I don't know, I just felt like it should have been a lot, a lot more stronger. It shouldn't have been about him. It should have been about the moment that we're in as far as, like, you know, they're trying to take away freedom of speech and him being on Trump's hit list. So I listened again last night to see how he would bring it, and he, he, he came at, he came at Trump a little bit.

[Mimi Brown]

Yeah, he had some moments. Did you see the skit with Robert De Niro?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I did, I did, yeah. Yep, I did.

[Mimi Brown]

Okay. They had a few little punchy jokes in there, too, so that was fun. All right. Well, Kimball isn't the only Disney headline make Disney making headline. The company is facing heat on another front. It's streaming business. Starting next month, prices are going up again for Disney plus Hulu and ESPN streaming service. It's the third October in a row that Disney has raised fees and the timing couldn't be more awkward. Coming just as millions of people say they are canceling their stories subscriptions in protest of Kimmel suspension. So how much more are you going to have to pay? Well, Disney and Hulu with ads will climb from about $10 to $12 a month, while their ad free versions will jump from about $16 to $19. And ESPN streaming service is also going up about a dollar from $12 to $13 a month. Now, Disney insists these price hikes were already planned, so they come as the company is moving ahead with bigger changes. After completing its full takeover of Hulu this past summer, Disney says it will fully merge Hulu into Disney plus by 2026, though standalone subscriptions will still be available. I didn't cancel my Hulu subscription because I wanted to watch Reasonable Doubt, but I, I understand. So I'm still here. I'm glad that he's back on the air, so I don't feel any pressure to do that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, I didn't cancel my subscription because I got kids, all right, Bluey and Spidey and his amazing friends like I that got my household and got my house in the chokehold.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, my daughter, too.

[Mimi Brown]

Yeah, yeah. So some tough calls there. All right. And in the middle of funding, we're gonna switch gears just a little bit. In the middle of funding cuts hitting colleges nationwide, there is some good news for HBCUs. Billionaire MacKenzie Scott, the ex wife of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has donated, donated $70 million to the United Negro College Fund, one of the largest gifts in history. Now, the money will be divided among 37 private historically black colleges and universities. So schools like Spelman, Howard, Hampton, Morehouse, Tuskegee will each receive roughly about $5 million through a pooled endowment fund designed to strengthen long term financial health of HBCUs. It's part of a the bigger UNCF push to raise a billion dollars for these schools. Now, timing matters because across the country, many colleges are losing funding and seeing enrollment drop. HBCUs, which have always been underfunded, continue to produce, as we know, generations of black leaders and the UNCF president, he put it, we've always done less with more. Or excuse me, we've always done more with less. And now it's time to do more with more.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Man Dropping a clues bombs from mackenzie Scott. That is incredible. I can't wait till I can do stuff like that. $70 million to HBCUs.

[DJ Envy]

That's amazing.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

God damn. Drop on a clues bombs with mackenzie Scott. Man, that is incredible.

[Caller (various callers)]

Incredible.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Absolute to her. Because she don't got to do that.

[DJ Envy]

Nope, not at all.

[Mimi Brown]

She has a history of doing that.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Right.

[Mimi Brown]

She's a history of donating to just underserved college and universities, black colleges and universities and other underserved, you know, organizations. So we love that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, she's just a person who cares. Like she, you know, she's a big, big, big philanthropist. You know, that's Jeff Bezos's ex wife. So she got the bag. Yes, she does. You know what I'm saying? And she's utilizing it the right way. So salute to her.

[DJ Envy]

Absolutely.

All right, when we come back, we have the mayor of New York City, Mayor Eric Adams. He'll be joining us. He's running for reelection.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He's running for reelection, but Mandani putting his foot up his ass right now.

[Mayor Eric Adams]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know what I'm saying? I think Eric's polling in fourth place.

[DJ Envy]

Yep. So we'll talk.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't. I don't know why he. He. I needed to know why he thinks he can still win, but we're gonna find out. Fourth place.

[DJ Envy]

Third place.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Nah, I read yesterday. Fourth place.

[DJ Envy]

Jesus. All right, well, we'll talk to him. Next is the Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Lola Rose is here as well. We got a special guest in the building.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes, indeed, the mayor of New York.

[DJ Envy]

City, Mayor Eric Adams.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Welcome.

[Mayor Eric Adams]

Good to be here. Nice to Be here. Talk about the city.

[DJ Envy]

How you feeling, brother?

[Mayor Eric Adams]

Good, man. You know, I mean, I took my hand off the steering wheel a long time. Let go, Let God turn on my gps, my God position. The satellite got me here. He's gonna take me to the next level.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know the question everybody keeps asking, are you dropping out of the Merrell race?

[Mayor Eric Adams]

And you know what? I answered that 101 times. And no matter how I answer it, they come back with the same. Seven weeks ago, when they first raised that, I had something at Gracie Mansion and say, listen, I'm here to the end. They wrote that he's dropping out. They say, then he's going to. He's going to Saudi Arabia. I said, no, I'm not. They then they wrote I was going to be heard. No, I'm not. I was going to meet Donald Trump at Yankee Stadium. No, I did not. What people don't understand, when you run for mayor, one of the most important aspects of running for mayor is raising the money. People couldn't beat me at the polling site, and so they orchestrated and organized to really undermine my campaign. When you hear that the mayor's dropping out over and over again, your funders are gone. Now I'm in court with campaign finance board. They owe me $4 million. They don't want to give it to me. I spent $8 million the last time I ran. I'm down to now half of that now. So they have undermined my ability to get my message out by making sure they cut off all the ways I could raise money to get it done. So now I'm in a point. Now when I'm meeting with my funders, they say, eric, they keep telling me, you. You're dropping out. So our goal is to finish this race, but we have to win this court. That's in case. That's in this case. That's in court right now to get out $4 million.

[DJ Envy]

I do have a question. When you first came in office, it seems like the city loved Mayor Adams, right? They loved you. Loved the fact that you were touching the people. You were outside. You were doing things that a lot of mayors wouldn't like. You were on 42nd street giving away food. You were doing a lot for the city. You were popping up in Harlem, in Brooklyn, in Queensland. And then it became a turning point where people started to not like Mayor Adams or start to dislike. Why did that happen? Do you think it was an orchestrated thing? Why do you think people started.

[Mayor Eric Adams]

That's a great question. That's a great question. Think about it for a moment. Where do people get their opinions from? They pick up the papers, they start reading the papers and they start saying, okay, this is what's happening in the city. When I go to town halls, when I'm at 40 projects, when I go out to a story and I start sharing what we have done, people say, what I didn't know that there was when I won mayor. Here's the inner story that a lot of people don't know when I won mayor. You can't win citywide in this city without winning what's called the New York Times Belt. Upper west side, Park Slope, Carol Gardens, Brooklyn Heights. I lost all of that. The everyday person in the street say, this guy is one of us. And from day one, go look at how I was covered it. People don't know. I build more housing in the city than any mayor in the history of the city in my individual years. They don't know that low income New Yorkers no longer pay income tax because of me. $19 billion in black and minority owned businesses that I put in. They don't know what I'm doing for foster care children, paying their college tuition, giving them life coaches until they're 21. They don't know what we're doing about homelessness, putting people into permanent housing. Nobody knows my story.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Let me ask a question. If they don't know, then, if they don't know, then is it really getting done? Because if the people should be the ones that's impacted by what you're doing, so why wouldn't they know, right?

[Mayor Eric Adams]

Well, there's a couple of things. People who go through it, knows it all the time. They write at me, they stop me in the street, they tell me about the housing they got, my universal after school program, what we're doing about dyslexia. Folks on Rikers, I've been on Rikers island more than any man in the history of the city, speaking with the inmates, giving them the services they need. So those who are recipient of it, they know. But when you pick up the paper, the average day person that's sitting down reading, all they know is that, hey, this guy is out all the time partying. No, I revitalized my. Our nightlife industry.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

A by yourself.

[Mayor Eric Adams]

Multi billion dollar. Multi billion dollar industry. Multi billion dollar industry. Before I became mayor, they were closing down these industries where black and brown people were opening their own businesses. They were closing them down. That stopped under me. I said, we no longer gonna go in and close down the heart and soul of how these businesses start and how they employ a hundred thousand people who are getting jobs through it. So. So what you do now during campaign, you take your campaign money and you able to go over the media and speak directly to people. I don't have the money.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know, over the past weekend, you didn't attend any public event events while a lot of your the rivals were out campaigning. And people use that to fuel more speculation that you're preparing to drop out.

[Mayor Eric Adams]

So how do you respond to that, Charlemagne? No matter what I said, they did it anyway. We were sitting down behind the scenes, sitting down with funders, sitting down with the campaign team, figuring out our strategies to go. I could be out. I'm outside all the time, brother. You know, I could be outside running around the city all the time.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Time.

[Mayor Eric Adams]

But anyone that knows how to build their institutions know there's a time for you to meet with your team and strategize what the next steps are. Just running around the city is not how you win a campaign. And they don't have day jobs. I do. I still got a day job. I had the U. N. Coming. A major security issue that we had to make sure was correct. I had the high holiday. I had the Rosh Hashanah come in, making sure we deal with threats. So I still have to run the city. It's not just about running around shaking hands. I had a job to do, and I gotta build my strong campaign, and that's. That's what we're doing.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I give you credit for that because, you know, they were giving you flack for not being at the African American Day parade. But I've seen you at events like. Like the Heaven up in Harlem event that Og Daniel did.

[Mayor Eric Adams]

Right, right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That wasn't like a scheduled thing. You were just there. Right, right.

[Mayor Eric Adams]

And listen, there's never been a man in the history of the city that's been among the people. Like, I have that. You know, I'll drive through Brownsville, and all of a sudden I see a closed barbershop, a closed hair salon, people sitting in the back smoking a cigar. I'm popping in there, talking to them. How you feeling on the ground, folks? What's happening on the ground? You know, I can walk through any community in this city, and you see from the Upper west side to Harlem to Brooklyn, people see that, you know, Eric is among us. And I've never stopped being among. There's nothing special about. About me, you know? You know, I never come across that. Listen, I'm the man. I'm special. No I'm the same dyslexic South Jamaica, Queens. Hole in your sneakers, cardboards in the bottom. I'm the same person, brother. Same person. And they never had a man like me. And they never want to see that mayor do it again. What we did for black and brown people in this city is amazing. Think about this for a moment. A lot of people don't realize this. So who the victims of shootings in the street city Black and Brown. 23,000 illegal guns off the street. The lowest numbers of shootings and homicides in the first seven months of this year in the history of the city. Who is street homeless? Black and Brown. We removed 3,500 people off our streets into permanent housing. Permanent housing. Who's in our department of education? Black and brown. Other ethnic groups are in, but predominantly black and brown. And we, we have improved education in our city. Outpaced the state in reading, the math, universal after school programs. 150,000 children into pre K. Who was summer youth employment? Black and brown. Hundred thousand summer youth employment. That we've done, never been done before. So what I'm saying is when you pick apart my success and my policies, you have to say to yourself, this guy has gone after those who ignore for years.

[DJ Envy]

I agree with you. But you know, the thing that we talk about all the time is we hear all these numbers and stats, right? And we talk about, we hear about crime coming down, but a lot of times it doesn't feel like that, right? And maybe that's what we hear in the stories. Like, you know, I'm driving in today, police officer punched in the face and knocked onto the train tracks and pulled out. You know, shooting here, shooting there, shooting it there. It doesn't feel as safe as the numbers would say it was. Why do you say that is?

[Mayor Eric Adams]

And that's a great question, brother. Think about this for a moment. 5.6 million people ride our subway every day. 5.6 million. We have five average of five felonies a day on our system. With 5.6 million. I mean those numbers are astronomical. And so when you, a city of 8.5 million people, when you take the worst thing that happens in that city that day and you plaster it on the front pages, how are you going to feel? People? When I inherited the subway system, when I became mayor, no one wanted to be on the subway system. We put police officers on there. We went down to make sure we got people with severe mental health issues off our system. We removed the encampments. People were living on the side of Highways, they were living in boxes and tents on our streets. And so, no, people don't feel that way because it takes a lot of time before your perception view the reality. Sometimes people are living in the past of what they felt before.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So when you put more police presence on the subways, it. It bought the crime.

[Mayor Eric Adams]

It was a combination of things. We did okay. When we did an analysis, we saw that a lot of people say, hey, we want the police walking through our trains. That's not where the crimes were happening. The crimes were happening on the platforms. And so when we did a combination, number one, put our visible presence on the platform. Number two, going after those with severe mental health issues and getting them the care that they need. A thousand people we took off the streets. And so you're right, brother, when you say, say, okay, you're giving us the numbers. But when you run a city, you have to run it based on indicators. You have to run it based on something to determine if you're moving in the right direction. Because when bond rate is determined, are we going to tell people to invest in your city? We need to see these indicators. The bond raiders raised my bond. They said, this guy has gone through Covid. 237,000 migrants in asylum seekers. Lawfare would have hit him with some bogus federal charges. Out of all of that, this guy has still moved the city forward unprecedented levels. You know, so the numbers don't lie. You know, I can say whatever I want, but when you analyze, here's where the city was, here's where the city is. We have more jobs in New York. In the history of the city. I broke the record 11 times. More small businesses in the history of the city. When I came into an office, black unemployment was four times the rates of white unemployment. We dropped it by 20% in the black and brown communities. We turned this city around. Now what people are pissed off at, look who I did it with. First black woman to be a first deputy mayor. First black woman police commissioner. A first Hispanic male to run the Department of Correction. First black to be a chief advisor. First Dominican in the history of the city to be a deputy mayor. First Filipino to be a deputy mayor. First Indian to be a deputy mayor. I changed the landscape of the city.

[DJ Envy]

Do you feel like that's the way, that's the reason why you're being attacked so much? Because you've done so much, you make so many minorities on what?

[Mayor Eric Adams]

No, I think it's a combination. Someone told me one time, they said, listen, Eric, you don't have enough Gray haired white men around you. You looked at my administration, brother, my administration looked like us. And so what did they do? They said, you know what, let's start just tackling him in his community. It's the same thing happened with David Dinkins. Go back and look at the stories at David Dinkins and see how they had the community start saying, well, you know, David Dinkins is always dressing up in a suit. He's not, he's, you know, he's not one of us anymore. And they eroded his base of support. So our folks just stayed home. You know, they just did it just enough to have him, to have our folks stayed home. This is, you know, I'm the second black mayor in over 30 years. We have not had a black mayor in 30 years. And I learned from David, who, Mayor Dinkins, who tutored me and told me, and I said, I'm going to go in with a clear agenda of how do we help those who have been underserved for years. And we did it. The record is clear.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But a lot of your criticism comes from black people though.

[Mayor Eric Adams]

Yeah, but why, tell me why Charlamagne? Where do they get, where they get their opinions from? I think we're underestimating the power of the media in this city. Where do they get their opinions from? Is from?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You think that, you think it's white media shaping narratives negatively about you?

[Mayor Eric Adams]

Well, I, I, no, I don't think, you know, you can't say only of.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The white media in general.

[Mayor Eric Adams]

Right? Okay, look across the country. Look across the country. Look at the black mans across the country and look what they're doing and bringing down crime.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And I give you credit too. You were the first person that at least put that on my radar. Last time you was here, you said there was an attack.

[DJ Envy]

Black man, I'm black man.

[Mayor Eric Adams]

So look at, under, under the previous administration. A lot of people want to talk about it. Under the previous administration, the migrants and asylum seekers went to Chicago, went to Los Angeles, went to Houston, went to New York. What was, what was the same in all of those cities? They were all black mayors. And check this out. This is the thing that a lot of people don't realize. They say, okay, Eric, the migrants in asylum seeker issues over everything is fine. No, it's not. Cost us $7.2 billion. That is $7.2 billion that I could not put into 500 million into chronically absent children, a billion dollars into senior housing, 500 millions into more programs for our youth formerly incarcerated. That money is going to have A long term impact on our city. We're going to see the byproduct of what that previous administration did to us. We're going to see the byproduct of that for years to come.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But a lot of that is Democratic money messaging fault because, you know, you created sanctuary cities and you said that those people were welcome here. So what a lot of those Republican governors did was put those people on planes and buses and send them to those so called sanctuary cities. And then when y' all got overwhelmed, y' all was like, whoa, let me.

[Mayor Eric Adams]

Give you my version of it. You know, let's understand what sanctuary city is. Because a lot of people conflate sanctuary cities. What we say as sanctuary cities. When somebody buy this bottle of water, they pay taxes, taxes on this bottle of water. Those taxes allow you services. So if your child needs to be educated, they should be allowed to go to school. If you're a victim of a crime, you should be allowed to call the police. If you need medical care, you should be allowed to go to the hospital because you're paying taxes. You don't walk into a grocery store and someone say, you're undocumented. So I'm not going to give you the tax. No, you are allowed to get those taxes. When people, when we tell people, if you come here, we're going to treat you with respect. We're going to make sure you get the services that your tax dollars are paying for. And we're going to make sure you're treated with dignity and respect. It was the federal government responsibility to seal the border so people can say what they want about the current administration. When they sealed the border, we stopped getting the flow. I was getting 4,000 a week. And the federal law said you can't stop the buses from coming in, Eric. You can't even allow them to work. You can't even allow them to volunteer and give them a stipend. And the city law said you're going to feed houses, house clothes and educate the children. So I'm following the law when they came into the city. I don't control who comes into the country, but I have to make sure while you're here, your children are in school. If not, they're going to be the victims of abuse. By staying home, I got to make sure if you need medical care, you can go to the hospital. If not, you're going to overrun my emergency room and people will prey on you knowing that you can't call the police if you're a victim of a crime. So it wasn't that we said, whoa, whoa, whoa. I was always saying, whoa, control your. Control the borders. Don't put this on cities. The cities are having to fulfill the obligations of federal, federal government. And in spite of that, we moved the city forward. You know, they. People will tell you, you know what? The guy did move the city forward. You know, the guy did turn around of the city. The guy did improve employment, improve housing, had the city say, we got it, we got it. You know, but you know what? He's too close to Trump. But nobody tells you. I took this administration to court more than any mayor in the country. They sued me more than any man. And when we needed the administration, we were able to get, call them to get the things done. So it's not like I'm not under anyone's thumb. I'm running my city, I'm fighting for my city.

[DJ Envy]

There's things that always pop up in the press that make you look a certain way, even if it's not right. So that's why I love that you're here. So one of the biggest things was when Donald Trump, they dismissed your federal corruption charges, Right. And they did it without prejudice because they said they leave it open that they can file charges later on. Right. And the press put it as well, that makes him, excuse my French, Donald Trump's puppet. Exactly right. Where, you know, he can be used any which way. So what do you say to those people in that media, people that really believe that you're lining up with Trump and that might not be what people are lying to, especially in this election.

[Mayor Eric Adams]

So think about, think about this for a moment. It was dismissed with prejudice, meaning it can't come back. It was dismissed with prejudice.

[DJ Envy]

Oh, they said without prejudice.

[Mayor Eric Adams]

No, that's what they wanted, but the judge said it's dismissed with prejudice. Okay. So many people never read my indictment, and I keep saying that over and over. People need to read the indictment. I was indicted for calling the fire department and asking them to do a building inspection. And. And all the text messages are there. I said, if you can't do it, let me know and I'll manage their expectation. This is done every day. They took that and said, well, you know what? You got free upgrades. You paid for your flights, but you got upgrades when you flew flying. As the borough president, I was allowed to get upgrades. They said, you got free upgrades, grades, which was not a gift. They said, we're going to tie that and say it was bribery. It was bribery. And so I'm facing 33 years in prison for this, you know, and so people say, well, if you didn't do anything wrong, why would they come at you? Ask Brian Benjamin. I think all your callers should Google Brian Benjamin. Highest ranking black. Highest ranking black in the state. They indicted him. Also. The judge dismissed his charges. Also. When he looked at. They saw how bogus it was. Biden said the Justice Department was politicized when he pardoned his son. You know, Trump said it. So the president on the campaign trail, I never knew the president. President, I never met the president. He was on the campaign trail saying, look what they're doing in that man in New York. You know, what's wrong, what they do to that mayor in New York. So when he got in, he told his Justice Department, y' all need to look at that case. When they looked at the case and they saw some of the emails and text messages that the prosecutors were doing, they said, we're going to dismiss this case. That's part of the justice system. The doj. Doj, they do it all the time. This is not new. This was not special for Eric. They do it all the time. They look at cases and they make a determination, do we want to proceed forward. That was the determination they made. And my attorney sat down and say, look at this case, folks, and what they're doing to this mayor. They got pissed off because I was not a good Democrat and I started voicing this is wrong, which I'm doing for us to our city, that this is costing us too much money. This is hurting our folks.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Folks.

[Mayor Eric Adams]

They basically said, you need to be a good Democrat.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know, they put you in your place.

[Mayor Eric Adams]

Right. There you go.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So listen, you're pulling in fourth place right now.

[Mayor Eric Adams]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What makes you think you can still win?

[Mayor Eric Adams]

As, as I, as I stated, where was Madani? Where was Zoran? This distance out from the race, he.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Pulled it at 1%.

[Mayor Eric Adams]

He was, he, Andrew was beating him by 20 something percent.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, in the primary.

[Mayor Eric Adams]

Yeah, in the primary. At, during the, during the primary. The day before the primary, there was a poll out. Andrew was up by 12%. The day before the primary, he lost by 14. And so what I must do in these campaigns, because I've done it before, Remember, the only one that's. Only one that's running for mayor that has ever won mayor is me. You know, I beat an impressive field the last time. Andrew Yang was beating me by 14 points. You know, what I must do is I need my money. I have to be able to have folks come home, open up their mail and see my story. I have to be able to have my field team on the street that I have to pay for and my volunteers so they can talk about my story. I need to be able to do my radio ad, all the things that go with telling your story. Right now I'm dependent on my print media to tell my story, which they made clear they're not going to tell.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Me in the social media, which is terrible by the way.

[Mayor Eric Adams]

Right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't know who the hell doing your social media.

[Mayor Eric Adams]

I'm sorry, it don't look realistic.

[Lauren LaRosa]

A video that was going viral of you like getting ready to go out to like an event or something like that. Yeah. And I mean, I think it gets younger people wondering who you are and why you're doing it, but it just doesn't add well to the conversation. Yeah, it just doesn't add well to the conversation. I've always wondered what, what's the strategy behind that? Like why do you do that?

[Mayor Eric Adams]

Yeah. You know, and this is, this is very interesting that, you know, you have. I'm not a social media expert. I don't know. I'm the first to tell y' all nothing about social media. But a lot of people are talking about the role of young people in the election. The only consistent voter in this city are 55 plus older people. They're consistent. Everybody thought that Obama, everybody thought that young people were the ones who got Obama elected. You're seeing a more and more engagement of young people. But Obama was, you know, Obama got 65% of the young people vote, but it was only 8%, 18% of the total vote. You know, your grandmother and your mom, those are the ones that come out all the time. So it's. And they're not on X, you know, you know, they, they are on probably Facebook and they still get that old fashioned television ad mailing, et cetera. And that's what we want to focus on.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So with that said, why you be doing those ridiculous videos deals on social media?

[Mayor Eric Adams]

Listen, like I said, I don't know social media, brother. You know, you know, we have, we have a team of folks that we put on, they create what the social media is. I don't know it. You know, I know what I know and I know what I don't know. You know, and I would love to, you know, you, you want to come on board, I think you should just.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Scream because you'd be outside. But listen, the narrative is, I know we got to get out of the narrative. The narrative is if you stay in the race, then you and Cuomo will be taking votes away from each other, and that'll make it easier for Mondani to win.

[Mayor Eric Adams]

Okay? And so. And let's look at the facts of that. The ballot is the ballot right now. You can't change the ballot, you know, so no matter what happens, you can't change the ballot. There's going to be five people, or even one of the candidates Jim Walton tried to get off the court said, no, you can't. So the ballot is. Ballot is a ballot. What people need to focus on and ask themselves is what direction do they want this city to go? That's what we have to ask ourselves. We've come so far. Do we want to go back? Do they want people who want to destabilize our local supermarkets by saying, you have been government run supermarkets. I've been to Venezuela and Cuba. I don't want those type of supermarkets here. And I don't want to hurt my bodegas, my Dominicans, my Koreans, my Chinese supermarkets. Do you want to legalize prostitution in our city and go back to people standing around our street corners?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Diddy says yes.

[DJ Envy]

No.

[Mayor Eric Adams]

Shut up, man.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That prostitution legalized. What's wrong with you, man? Serious.

[Mayor Eric Adams]

And so it's just a quality of life. You know who hurts the most, brother? Our communities. Our communities can't hire private security. Our community can't go into making sure that some homeless person is not defecating on their street corners or sitting in their schoolyard. Our communities will impact. Be impacted by these policies that idealism collides with realism.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What is Mondani doing better than you.

[Mayor Eric Adams]

Selling a lie, you know, selling the lies. You know, he was an assemblyman for four years. He missed 50 of his votes. Like, where's his record? The reason you're able to critique me is because I have a record of over 40 years. Over 40 years of doing this. You can't critique him, you know, and he's just selling the lives. When he was asked the other day, what is your. Your policy on decriminalization of decriminalized prostitution? I haven't figured out yet. Figure that out yet. He's gonna sell a lie until he gets into office, if he were to win. So the. The reason you could sit me on this show and say, okay, here's what you've done. You know, you can't do that with him. You don't know who. We don't know who we have. You know, we have a person that's a good actor, good communicator. And knows how to tell people whatever they want to hear to get get elected.

[DJ Envy]

[Mayor Eric Adams]

Good morning, everybody.

[DJ Envy]

It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne the guy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We are the breakfast in the morning.

[DJ Envy]

That shocked me. I was like, yeah, all right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Man, when somebody go to work and fight somebody, then who fault that is. Okay. I don't even know what G herbo said in that song. It just makes me angry.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Some things off his chest.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah.

[Lauren LaRosa]

It's called survivor guilt.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I got to listen to it. I never heard that record before.

[DJ Envy]

Oh, my goodness.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Felt like slapping somebody right now for no reason. How much is a bond to smack somebody right now?

[DJ Envy]

See what happened to that lady yesterday?

[Lauren LaRosa]

You got bail money?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No. What? No, I don't.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Why?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I think no.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Let me see if you.

[Jess Hilarious]

You've been doing this for 30 years. You don't have no money?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Nope. Let's get to everybody up.

[Jess Hilarious]

Lauren Becoming a straight face.

[DJ Envy]

She gets them from somebody that knows somebody.

[Lauren LaRosa]

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

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She'd be having the latest on it. The Latest with Lauren LaRosa. Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details, sometimes you have a little bit everything. What was the latest on the Breakfast Club?

[Mimi Brown]

Talk to me.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So Mariah Carey has been doing press because she has her new album that will be dropping soon. I believe it actually comes out tomorrow. And she sat down with Gayle King and they talked about a ton of different things. She first got into what it was like for her going through losing her mom and her sister. If you guys don't remember, Mariah Carey's mother passed away. And on the same day, Mariah Carey's sister passed away. And Mariah Carey actually spent the, you know, her last moments with her mom. Let's take a listen to Mariah Carey. Last year, Carrie shared that her mother.

[Jess Hilarious]

Patricia Carey, and her estranged sister Alison died on the same day. How did you navigate that and how did you process that? I don't know how I processed it. I just know that it was extremely difficult for me to navigate and it was tough because I have always had an interesting relationship with my mother. Carrie wrote very candidly about her mother in her 2020 memoir, the Meaning of Mariah Carey. Our relationship is a prickly rope of pride, pain, shame, gratitude, jealousy, admiration and disappointment. It hasn't been easy, but towards the end I was with her the whole time.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah. So. And Mariah Carey actually did a sit down with Sza for Apple Music and it was called giving her her flowers or something around that. And she got emotional when talking about her mom again too, in that sit down. But she also opened up a bit about her relationship with Anderson Paak. Let's take a listen.

[Jess Hilarious]

How did it come to be? It's you and Anderson Paak together. Yes. Did you reach out to him? Did he reach out to you? I reached out to him. Why him? He's brilliant. He's really a great artist. And now, you know, there are pictures of you all holding hands. Is this just a. He just likes to hold my hand. He just grabs my hand. I don't know what he's doing. Are you saying it's just strictly. We're just friends. He's a hand holding club. But this is how the rumors start because he was there at Christmas and everybody knows what Christmas means to you.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yes.

[Jess Hilarious]

So when they saw him with Mariah at Christmas then people thought, oh, this must be something serious. Well, they Better know that it's something special. It's Christmas. You know what I mean? The fact that you allowed him to come. I'm fine if you don't. He enjoyed it. Did you enjoy it yet? I did. Uhhuh. It was a hot tub there. It was nice.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Uhhuh. I can't tell if Mariah be sounding robotic or she'd just be taking her time. Cuz she's Mariah care.

[Mayor Eric Adams]

She's not in a rush.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She's not in a rush to do nothing, not even speak ever.

[Lauren LaRosa]

In this interview, she. The whole time she's taking her time. Even when they walk in, she's very like. She's like floating into the apartment and I'm like, yes, that's how she wanted.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

D Music festival acts like that.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yes, help not.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, no, she did. She did have somebody walk her out.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, she did.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She looked a little blind.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah, you know, but she always has that. Please lead me.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, now she always has that somebody leading her and.

[Lauren LaRosa]

And the wind just finds her, you know.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She did the lighting thing at the iHeart Festival too. Remember back in the day? Back in the day she came to Breakfast Club and she had her own lighting team and she turned the lights down and I was like, well Mariah, nobody's going to be able to see us. And she was like, that's the whole point, dog. She's like exactly the same thing. At the iHeartrading Music Festival, you know, they did the interviews with the artist backstage, right. She had her lighting team come in and put up their own lights for her.

[Jess Hilarious]

Really is a diva.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I really, really enjoy seeing the diva of Mariah Carey. Like because she's so unapologetic about being.

[Jess Hilarious]

I didn't. I don't expect anything else other than that. When you're Mariah, you can do that.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yes.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah.

[Lauren LaRosa]

And that's what I love about it. Speaking of the iHeart Festival too, I saw there was a video that was going viral from when global for. Because Mariah Carey and Glorilla closed out the iHeart Music Festival and people were trying to point out the fact that there were empty seats when GLO was performing, which I felt was very unfair. Like Glorilla did a great job closing out the festival. I thought the video was super unfair and they were trying to compare it to the fact that Chris Brown was in town at the same time. The festival was packed. People were there for Chris Brown's festival. Yeah, the festival was packed. So I just thought the iHeart Festival, the iHeartRadio music festival was packed. Yeah. So I just thought that that was.

[Jess Hilarious]

But you think Chris Brown was with there?

[Lauren LaRosa]

He was also in Vegas, too. So everybody in Vegas that you were running into for the airport, from the airport to restaurants, they were either there for iHeart or they were there for Chris Brown or both. I know people who like Vegas, made money that went up, went insane and.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

People, you know, be leaving early. But I will say the reality of the situation is on Saturday night, it was Ed Sheeran, Mariah Carey and Glorilla. They should have probably switched the lineup. It should have been like, glorilla, Ed Sheeran, Mariah Care.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Mariah Care. Should have closed.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I got you.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And I mean, it wasn't like it was a late show. We were out of there by like 10 o', clock, 10:30.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So it felt late, though.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yes, Ed Sheeran.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Okay. Because the I Heart Festival is such a diverse group, right? People like, it's. It's grandmothers. It's grandmothers, it's daughters.

[DJ Envy]

Different genres of music.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Exact.

[DJ Envy]

Country is hip hop.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's pop to all the youngins was in there going crazy to glow River, I'm sure. But grandma and mama probably like, hey, man, it's time to go. If you ain't dropping, driving, we gotta.

[Jess Hilarious]

Get on up out of here.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, well, yeah, so, yeah, I just wanted to bring that up, but also too, in this Mariah Carey interview. I know we got to close out, but y' all remember Nick Cannon was here and he talked about he just found out or got diagnosed as a narcissist.

[Jess Hilarious]

Crazy. First time I ever heard of it.

[Lauren LaRosa]

But, yes, me too. Us too. So Mariah Carey, in this interview, her and Gail King talk about this song that she has called called I Won't Allow it. And she talks about someone with narcissistic ways. Let's take a listen.

[Jess Hilarious]

I won't entertain all your narcissistic ways. I won't allow it. Did you have a specific person in mind or was that just a random thought? That was a picture internally. Why did you want to include that one? I liked it. I liked the vibe of it, you know, but it's.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's a little saucy. See, somebody up at Gail show didn't do their show prep. They could have tied the knots. Yo, that Cannon was just on the Breakfast Club. Gayle.

[Lauren LaRosa]

As soon as I. I saw that, I said out. And now I know she didn't probably been wrote this album before Nick came up here, but it's kind of ironic. That he didn't. Went and found he's diagnosed with this, and she's experienced that with someone.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, but what you mean Ben wrote down he got diagnosed two years ago?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, but he's just not. I've never heard him say that. He just talked about it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He got diagnosed.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Oh, you mean they probably talked about it behind the scenes.

[DJ Envy]

You know, that's.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, you're right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

People really think these folks don't have no life. They think everything we see online is their whole life.

[Lauren LaRosa]

It's not that we don't think that they don't have a life, but it's. It seems like. Because even in this interview, she didn't even want to talk about him. She told Gail, I'm gonna let him have his life, and I'm gonna keep mine. It just seems like she lives a completely separate life. And then the kids go see their dad.

[Jess Hilarious]

Let's not act like people didn't lie about diagnosis like that. People get online say all the time things like, you know, you know, I have autism, or I have. You know, and then be like, ah, you find out they weren't really diagnosed. You know, this is just something that they said.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Gail production team should have been on it, though.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Cuz. Cuz Gail could have. Instead of saying, was that about somebody? Like, we heard when they can was on breakfast last week.

[DJ Envy]

He was diagnosed with narcissist.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's all I'm saying. But who am I to tell producers to do their job? Exactly.

[Jess Hilarious]

Mariah would be like, really? He was up there. Good for him. Like, she wouldn't have still gave nothing.

[Lauren LaRosa]

She just thought she would really know what he does.

[DJ Envy]

The latest with Lauren now, next hour, of course. Just fix my mess. So 800-585-101-051. You can get on the phone line if you need Jess to fix your mess. You're having relationship issues or problems or anything. You can call Jess right now, but donkey. Today's up next. Who you giving that donkey to?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We need Vice President J.D. vance to come to the front of the congregation. We'd like to have a word with him, please.

[DJ Envy]

All right, we'll get to that. Next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

This is a miracle.

[Mayor Eric Adams]

There is no question that there are problems in this country between police and community.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes, you are a donkey. The latest on that police killing of a black man.

[Mimi Brown]

Now to new developments in the deadly spa shooting rampage.

[Caller (various callers)]

And yesterday was a really bad day.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

For him, and this is what he did.

[Lauren LaRosa]

And so we are in a state of emergency.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Okay. White supremacist violence is and always has been the number one threat to our society.

[Mayor Eric Adams]

But I'm also very proud that my wife is white.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The Breakfast Club.

[Mayor Eric Adams]

All right, Charlene, please tell me, why.

[DJ Envy]

Was I your donkey of the day?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes. Donkey of the day for Thursday, September 25th. Call the Vice President, J.D. vance. J.D. vance, at some point, you and other elected officials in the Trump administration have to stop acting like regular smegula, everyday dumb thugs. Okay? What do I mean when I say thumb thugs? I'm talking to people who get online and just bang a set, okay? Broadband bloods and cyber Crips. They got a side, they got a team, they got a flag they carrying and they represent it no matter what. And you can't do that when you are the Vice President of the United States of America. Because even though this administration has made it perfectly clear, they are not an administration for all Americans. Americans, they should be okay? We should demand that of our elected officials. All right? See, yesterday morning, a sniper opened fire on an ICE agency in Dallas. The shooter fired randomly at the ICE building and a van with three detainees were shot. I believe one, maybe two detainees passed away. The other is in critical condition. I'm not sure the gunman is dead. I do know that he committed suicide. And J.D. vance, the vice President of the United States of America, rushed to politicize the situation. Let's listen to what was Vice President JD Vance had to say.

[DJ Envy]

But what we know is that in Dallas, Texas, an ICE facility and Immigrations and Customs Enforcement facility was opened fire upon by a violent left wing extremist, a person who wrote anti ICE messaging on their bullets. And they were politically motivated to go after law enforcement. They were politically motivated to go after people who are enforcing our border. When Democrats like Gavin Newsom did say that these people are part of an authoritarian government, when the left wing media lies about what they're doing, when they lie about who they're arresting, when they lie about the actual job of law enforcement, what they're doing is encouraging crazy people to go and commit violence. You don't have to agree with my immigration policies. You don't have to agree with Donald Trump's immigration policies. But if your political rhetoric encourages violence against our law enforcement, you can go straight to hell and you have no place in the political conversation of the United States of America.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's everything, right? Right. Okay. So much to unpack here. First of all, framing this as an attack on law enforcement when it's not. And you, the Vice President of the United States of America is extremely irresponsible. Okay, yes, shell casings found near the shoot had anti ICE written on them. But JD you do realize there are people who voted for Trump who support Trump who could potentially be anti ICE as well. You do know that ICE isn't just deporting people who voted Democrat or who support the Democratic Party. Okay? There are plenty of videos online of Trump supporters highly disappointed because their family members and friends have been deported too. So I don't know why you would rush to frame this as an attack on law enforcement and blame the left wing to and radical left rhetoric. Okay, first of all, it was the detainees who were shot and killed. The detainees who were shot and injured. How do we know that the. The dehumanizing rhetoric of. Of immigrants didn't lead someone to say, you know what? F that due process, I just want to take them out. How do we know that wasn't the case? We don't. But I keep telling y', all, these politicians don't care about we the people. They care about their politics. Okay? J.D. vance is thinking about 2026 and 2028. That's why he was quick to come out and criticize Gavin News and left media for their rhetoric about ice, saying it encourages violent behavior. Let me tell you something, J.D. it is very true that there have been multiple shooting at ICE agencies in 2025. And I don't condone any of them, okay? There's no justification for them. But if ice, who is just doing their jobs, has a mandate from the Trump administration to deport 1 million people annually, okay? Not just the criminals and illegals. We see US Citizens included in that. And folks with pending legal claims, people being wrongly deported because of administrative errors and policy changes, that watching that is going to drive some people mad, okay? Again, not justifying any of these shootings that have happened at ICE agencies, but to act like Democratic politicians and left wing media are the sole reason some people don't like ICE agents, well, that's just intellectually dishonest, okay? And ignoring some very obvious issues that are happening in this country. That's why I don't understand why some Republicans and the Vice President of the United States of America are so quick to demand that political opponents Stop demonizing ICE. Hey, J.D. vance. And Republicans, how about you stop demonizing your political opponents until we get all the facts of the situation, okay? Because the political framing of this being an attack on law enforcement just isn't true, okay? The victims weren't ICE agents. It was the people being detained. And you're jumping the blame. Without evidence, we don't know if any political speech led to this biological violence. We don't know the motivation, we don't know the background. We don't know the mental state of the shooter. It's all still under investigation. Not to mention, not to mention, not to mention, not to mention. All the data in this country nowadays points to right wing extremists being more responsible for acts of political violence in America than the left. The left is pretty, pussycat.

[Caller (various callers)]

Whoa, whoa.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Don't scare me now.

[DJ Envy]

Don't scare me now.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Just saying the left is pretty, you know, pretty pussycat. Okay? But when the right is quick to blame the left, we overlook the pattern of right wing political violence. J.D. you are the Vice President of the United States of America. I don't understand how y' all ask one side to tone it down, but simultaneously blame Democrats for political violence and energize more people on the right to potentially commit political violence against Democrats. And the left with zero reason, stop being ready to politicize tragedy. You are the Vice President. You need a cautious, fact based approach. Okay? When you frame this as an attack on law enforcement, you shift attention away from things we should be discussing like immigrant rights, detainee safety conditions in ICE custody, or how detainees are treated. Those are the relevant issues to this story. Okay? Not to mention always common sense gun reform. But jd, you can't call for restraint while using inflammatory language. You can't prematurely attribute motive and intent. If you're so worried about the rhetoric from Democrats, then make sure your rhetoric matches the facts. Okay. Of the situation. And framing this as an attack on law enforcement despite no law enforcement being harmed is not the facts of the situation. Please give Vice President J.D. vance the biggest he haul.

[DJ Envy]

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

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes, ma'.

[Mayor Eric Adams]

Am.

[DJ Envy]

[Caller (various callers)]

There's some possible. I don't even know how to word it, but there's some things that are unsafe about her position and where she worked.

[Jess Hilarious]

Okay.

[Caller (various callers)]

And it's Listed on her. Indeed. And I'm. I'm a glass empty, half empty kind of guy.

[Jess Hilarious]

Are you.

[Caller (various callers)]

So I always think the worst.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah. Now, are you just a person with severe paranoia or are you madly insecure about your wife cheating on you?

[Caller (various callers)]

Great question.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah.

[Caller (various callers)]

I mean, because.

[Jess Hilarious]

Different paranoia is different from insecure. It's. It's different. That means you're not only paranoid about your wife losing her life or being injured, you're also paranoid about yourself and your children or your family members, or it's just the world is against you. Anything can happen. Those are people. You know, there are people that have, you know, they're. They're radically paranoid. You know, but then insecurity is a different thing because then that's. That's more so like, only geared to your relationships.

[Caller (various callers)]

Yeah, I would. I would say it's a little bit of both, but I would probably. Probably lean towards the paranoia.

[Jess Hilarious]

Okay. Okay. So you need a therapist. You need to work. That's because you have to. You have to work on yourself. Has your wife ever cheated on you that you know of, that you can prove before?

[Caller (various callers)]

No.

[Jess Hilarious]

Okay. Yeah. This is a you thing. And I. And that's good. That's good because that's what you told me at the beginning of the call. You need more than me to fix your mess. You need a therapist. You need to, you know. No, but. But I love that you are aware, you know, you need. Need a professional that. Like an expert, somebody that I'm not for people getting on medicine or anything like that, because you seem well aware of everything that's going on. You just know that you have a problem. And I think you should talk to a professional and sit down, like, individually, not even with your wife. Therapy with your wife would be second. But first, you have to get. You have to get your mental together because there's no. I'm not gonna say. There's no reason that you should be thinking like that, especially in 2025, this world today. But I. I can imagine that only heightens, you know, the state of the country that we're in. That only heightens your paranoia. But you definitely need professional help, brother.

[Caller (various callers)]

All right, I will look into that. I appreciate your help, and I love everything you guys do. I listen every morning.

[Jess Hilarious]

Thank you. Thank you.

[Jess Hilarious]

All right. So unless that's her cousin, like a long time ago episode of Love and hip hop, when. Remember when Yandy had the cousin who was the trainer and she posted and Mendici had a problem with that. That was her husband. Whether that's her cousin or not. Don't be putting my wife on the page. And you don't be posting nothing like that with. With, you know, inappropriate lyrics. You can work out and do it in an appropriate way and still market the way that you need to market yourself as working out or as the trainer. Without the song, you know, without the. Is it a booty shot? Like, is it.

[Caller (various callers)]

She posted him. But that's the part, like, for his birthday. She posted him for his birthday.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Oh.

[Caller (various callers)]

With that song in the background.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Oh, yeah. That's very.

[Jess Hilarious]

That's very inappropriate. She posted it. It's his birthday, and then the song just as. Yeah, no, that's. That's. Yeah. I don't like it. Did you talk to her about it?

[Caller (various callers)]

Yeah, I talked to her about it. It's like one of those things. She don't see it as an issue. That made it worse. I'm like. I don't get. Like. I'm telling you it's a problem.

[Jess Hilarious]

And she didn't take it down.

[Caller (various callers)]

No.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah. You got bigger problems on your hands, brother. Something's Dang. Something ain't right, you know? Yeah.

[Caller (various callers)]

And that's the five. And I know I wasn't tripping. I just like.

[Jess Hilarious]

You're not tripping. You're. That's your fiat.

[Caller (various callers)]

The reason why I'm not.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah, you ain't tripping. I'm. I'm here to tell you. Envy. You think you tripping?

[Mayor Eric Adams]

Hell, no.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Jess Hilarious]

I don't think he tripping.

[Mayor Eric Adams]

What was the song?

[Jess Hilarious]

I'm your dancer. Dancer for my. Do what you want me to do.

[DJ Envy]

She should have posted friends. How many of us have the. Like.

[Jess Hilarious]

It'S your birthday and you post him. She posted the trainer for his birthday. Put that on. And even when he bought it, to her attention, she said, ch. What was wrong with it? And she didn't take it down. He got a bigger fish to fry.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Wow.

[Jess Hilarious]

Bigger problems.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yep.

[Jess Hilarious]

You ain't crazy. So whatever you was Thinking about doing. Do it.

[Caller (various callers)]

Okay.

[Mayor Eric Adams]

All right.

[Caller (various callers)]

Appreciate y'.

[Lauren LaRosa]

All.

[Jess Hilarious]

No problem.

[DJ Envy]

All right, bro. Just fix my mess. 800-585-1051. Now when we come back, we got the latest with Lauren. I know Lauren's gonna jump into this record. It sounds like it's a Remy Ma new record and she's throwing some ball.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Pause.

[DJ Envy]

We'll see when we come back.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's a Breakfast Club.

[DJ Envy]

Good morning, the Breakfast Club.

[Jess Hilarious]

Lauren becoming a straight fat.

[DJ Envy]

She gets into somebody that knows somebody.

[Lauren LaRosa]

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

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She'd be having the latest on this. The Latest with Lauren LaRosa. Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details. Sometimes you have a little bit every time. The latest on the Breakfast Club.

[Lauren LaRosa]

All right. I know I've been Mariah Carey obsessed since the Iheart Music festival, but I got one last thing we gotta do with Mariah because the people are dragging Talil. Talil is a streamer who is friends with Kaisenet. He was on Hot Ones, which is a Sean complex where, you know, they eat the hot chicken wings. And they're talking. They're talking about Mafia Thon. And they asked who was the worst guest that came on Mafia Thon. Let's take a listen to what he said.

[Caller (various callers)]

Set or celebrity in Mafia.

[Mayor Eric Adams]

The worst celebrity that has came to Mafia Throne three, Mariah Carey.

[Jess Hilarious]

Damn.

[Mayor Eric Adams]

And I only say. And I only say Mariah Carey because.

[DJ Envy]

I feel like her intentions was to promote her album.

[Jess Hilarious]

And.

[DJ Envy]

And I. And I don't feel like there's nothing wrong with that. You feel, I'm saying, because business builds.

[Mayor Eric Adams]

You got to respect good business.

[DJ Envy]

You feel what I'm saying? But what was the exchange for us? Like, I know she didn't want to sing. I know she didn't want to dance. You feel. I'm saying, but I feel like Kai, he, he.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He held up his end of burger.

[DJ Envy]

She promoted her album.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Kai spoke the kids.

[DJ Envy]

He did everything that he wanted. He did everything that. That probably was her team attention and her attentions. And I feel like it wasn't really. It wasn't really nothing in change.

[Mayor Eric Adams]

If you're going to come on Mafia Thon, you have to come and you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Have to be vulnerable.

[Mayor Eric Adams]

You feel.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm saying you have to come.

[Mayor Eric Adams]

Be ready to come. Come have fun.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's what's excitement.

[Mayor Eric Adams]

When you come into Mafia Thon, you.

[DJ Envy]

Don'T know what to expect. It's like a foul dream.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You don't want. You don't know what to expect when.

[Mayor Eric Adams]

You come to cow house, you feel what I'm saying.

[DJ Envy]

So that's how I feel.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So folks mad at that young man for his opinion?

[Lauren LaRosa]

They are.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I think he articulated that very well. He was asked the question and he answered exactly.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So for me I wasn't upset at what he said. I thought he was just being honest. But what the, the upset is is it's Mariah Carey. She's a legend. There should be more respect about if she chooses not to do certain things, she chooses not to do that. But I will say I went back and watched the stream again because when I, I watched it when she was there and I didn't remember it being like boring but there wasn't like jump out moments but, but listen, she did a lot of things that he said that she didn't do. So he said she didn't want to say sing. They were doing a spelling beat and she actually she sung with them a couple times. So let's take a listen to Mariah Carey singing during the spelling spelling bee incessantly.

[Mayor Eric Adams]

What that mean?

[Jess Hilarious]

Incessantly means something that go something happens over and over.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's one of my songs, Heartbreak, you.

[Jess Hilarious]

Got the best of me.

[DJ Envy]

I had no idea what that word was. I would just Hummy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

By the way, I don't think none of this is that deep. If, if there was people who watched that interview and enjoyed it, great. But they asked him a question, that's how he thought was the worst guess and that was his answer.

[Lauren LaRosa]

The people always going to come out swinging. I think when it comes to just people of a certain like lamb legend. Yeah, no, the Lambs are but it's not even just the lambs. It's people in general saying this is is disrespectful. And I think it's why I think it's a age thing for sure. And also, you know, you just regard Mariah Carey a certain way.

[Jess Hilarious]

He didn't disrespect her.

[Lauren LaRosa]

No, he didn't.

[Jess Hilarious]

That was his opinion. But it's like I don't know where he saw her do anything that he described before in life. You know what I'm saying? You know what I mean?

[DJ Envy]

I don't think it's an age thing. It's just how they feel at the interview did. If it would have been a younger artist and they feel like the artist didn't give what they were supposed to give, I think they would have said the same thing.

[Lauren LaRosa]

And I will say even in the comments from when the stream was up, if you look at the comments on YouTube. YouTube. The fans weren't saying that. They were like, yo, this is legendary. It's Mariah Carey. Do we understand how big this is? And this was. That was the first time Kai said that they had ever revealed an album cover on the stream. Because Mariah Carey's album that she's been promoting, they revealed the COVID there. He said it's the first time they got to do that. She FaceTimed her. One of her kids, one of her. Her son was in the chat while they were doing it. She was in the chat.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I do agree with. What's his name? Tyler.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yes.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I do agree with what he said. As far as, you know, coming on there to promote your album, like, that's. That's. That's a given. They know you're on there to promote something, but don't be so obvious about it. Don't go there like it's a regular promo stop. Go there just to kick it and be relaxed.

[Lauren LaRosa]

But that's what I'm saying, though.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She was.

[Lauren LaRosa]

She was as relaxed as Mariah Carey.

[DJ Envy]

I didn't watch her.

[Lauren LaRosa]

It got to a point where, like, the spelling B words was so, like, it was. It was. It. The words was killing them.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I didn't see it either, but I'm not gonna argue with that man's opinion. He was asked the question that was.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Was his opinion rightfully so? Rightfully so. She even did the motivational speech. We have her speech. Let's take a listen.

[Jess Hilarious]

Hold on to hope. No matter what's going on in your.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Life, pray when you need to pray.

[Jess Hilarious]

And don't ever let anybody put you down.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Pray when you need to pray. Hey, drink.

[Caller (various callers)]

Drink.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Water, too, kids.

[DJ Envy]

Drinking.

[Mayor Eric Adams]

You're thirsty.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Eat when you're hungry. Don't put anything metal in electric socket sockets.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Sleep when you need to sleep.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Go to sleep when you're tired. I mean, maybe people needed to hear that basic ass W. That's positive, not need the bas.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah. Bring that back in a positive note. She told them she would get them Christmas. She did the best she could, okay? With what she got. That's what Mariah do right now.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Did you tell them to bring an umbrella when it rains?

[Lauren LaRosa]

No, but that, you know, that would have been gold.

[DJ Envy]

That's for toilet paper.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Well.

[Mayor Eric Adams]

Stupid.

[Lauren LaRosa]

In other music news.

[Jess Hilarious]

Let's get to this. Come on.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah. So Remy Ma, right? There's a song circulating right now. It's from Connie diamond, who is a music artist from the Bronx. Y' all may know her from the song Get On Ratchet we have that song.

[Jess Hilarious]

Love, Connie.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yes. So Connie diamond dropped a project called Underdog, season two. On that project, there's a song called Head Tap. Remy Ma is on the verse, and people are saying that this is a diss toward Clarissa Shields. Let's take a listen.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We don't want that.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Oh, my God.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Remy rapping. Well, I love hearing Remy rap, but I don't want her to go back to prison.

[DJ Envy]

Remy, this is just bars, okay?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Just bars.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah.

[Jess Hilarious]

Why would I fight you when I got a gun?

[Lauren LaRosa]

So I was told. I talked to Connie diamond yesterday, and she told me that this was not a date diss at Clarissa Shields. It was just Remy in the booth rapping, and that's what she does. They made the song. But now I will be fair said it.

[Jess Hilarious]

Did you reach out to Remy, though?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Remy's not good. No, I didn't reach out to Remy. I reached out to.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's a good point.

[Mayor Eric Adams]

Good point, Jess.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Well, you. Y' all talk to Remy directly. Someone please reach out for me because.

[DJ Envy]

She'S not gonna respond Remy about no goddamn verse.

[Lauren LaRosa]

That's why we didn't react. That's why I called Connie.

[Jess Hilarious]

Because Connie gave you the PR answer. I like that. I love that.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Connie get busy too, though. She. If it was that, Connie would have stood on it.

[DJ Envy]

I'll give you Remy number. You call her.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, but she can't.

[Jess Hilarious]

She still can't answer for another person.

[Mayor Eric Adams]

Like, are you dumb?

[Jess Hilarious]

Well, still can't answer for another person, though, you know?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Well, the. So here what fans are pointing out. Of course, you know, you're number two, I'm number one. Clarissa is, you know, the globe. She's. And she proudly says it tells people she is number one. They also, you know, they were arguing. Yes, but I mean, just the play on the numbers. But also, too, they're back and forth about Petoo and who's his girlfriend. Not girlfriend. All those things. And then the. Why would we fight when I got a gun? Y' all remember Clarissa Shields invited Remy Ma to get in a boxing ring and then said she would fight her for a dollar. Like, all the things. So people are like, you know, this. This was a shot. But Connie diamond told me that it's not. And I didn't call Remy.

[Jess Hilarious]

But okay.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah. Well, it was a great verse.

[Jess Hilarious]

Carissa rapped too. She said so.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah.

[Jess Hilarious]

Oh, no, still get in the booth.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Let me. She.

[Jess Hilarious]

Matter of fact, now she got music that we.

[DJ Envy]

She got an album coming out, right?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, she has an album coming out, but she Also posted yesterday at the Clarissa Shields posted at the shooting range. And she wanted people to know she's licensed and she got something on her hip.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Ridiculous. Now, this is silly.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Stop.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And we shouldn't even be having this conversation. Like, this is silly. Sound like it's. We're encouraging it in a way.

[Mayor Eric Adams]

No.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah. No.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like, no, you're not.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I'm not encouraging it.

[DJ Envy]

I just like Remy rapping.

[Mayor Eric Adams]

That's all.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I love Remy rapping.

[DJ Envy]

That's it. Oh, boy. All right.

[Lauren LaRosa]

You going to call her? No, Jess wanted me to call her. I ain't call her.

[Jess Hilarious]

I'm just saying, like, if we gonna talk about some. You know what I'm saying? We might have to talk about it or we don't bring it up at all. And this. And if that is a shot toward whoever, and then it's another person in the gun range. Whatever, whatever. It's just talking about it. It ain't, you know, egging it on. It's like, all right, what's gonna happen?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We gonna see you kind of. Because we should just be talking about diversity. What happens on social media is they start bringing in all kind of stuff that don't got nothing to do with the rap.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Dope.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I just thought the verse was dope.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I'm not trying to say that because when. When anytime there's a. There's bars dropped and it's a battle and it's. Guys, y' all pick apart the words. But the minute we do it, we're encouraging.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Usually the guys are health well, also, too. Can I say something else? Can I say something else that nobody wants to say?

[DJ Envy]

Yes, sir.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Remy, actually, you know what I mean.

[Jess Hilarious]

You still Remy, actually.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Cuz I don't want to.

[Jess Hilarious]

People listening, they can't see.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What did she go to prison for?

[Jess Hilarious]

Guys, she said.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't want her to go back.

[DJ Envy]

Guys, guys, Connie said it wasn't about that, so.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Exactly. Connie, listen. Underdog season two is out. The project is actually fire, too. Please go take a listen to Connie Diamond's project. Y' all will hear a head tap on there as well.
