Good morning Angela. Yea, good morning JMT Charlamagne.

The God Peace to the planet is Tuesday. Yes, it's Tuesday, Election Day, the final day for America to vote. That's right. We have no idea what the world is going to look like after the day. But whatever happens, you have to know it's all God's will. As my late, great friend John Fly used to say, trust God to God. If Republicans win, black people got work to do. If Democrats win black people, we still got work to do.

That's right. I don't think anything changes because the illusion of America has been revealed to all this year and this system was considered normal, has never worked for all of us. So tonight, regardless of who wins, just. No, it's nothing to celebrate. We got work to do. All right.

Now, let me shout out to everybody in Atlanta. Yesterday, I was in Atlanta with McDonald's. Of course, HBC you homecomings are canceled. So McDonald's put together a play where people can and still enjoy the BCU homecoming. So we will film. Yes, I actually went to work yesterday, but I was in Atlanta. But Atlanta couldn't get the technical stuff working, so I was at the station for nothing for about 45 minutes to an hour. They couldn't get it working, so I just went straight, straight to set.

So.

Well, then President Obama in Atlanta yesterday and Obama and Biden, I think I know Obama was there. I don't know about Biden and I don't know why, but I know Obama was in Atlanta yesterday.

So Atlanta was crazy, was it was jam packed. And I flew back late last night when I was on a plane. I was watching the game and I thought that the Giants were going to win. I was like “Ain’t that something!?” The Giants got to win the game. But no, they they they proved me wrong again.

They didn't they didn't know they weren't going to win pretty much better than people thought that way. Yes. It don't matter. Still lost. How matter. You almost won two things for you, you know.

No, no. Almost in football. We're not going to say that about nobody. Tonight, Joe Biden almost won all those who want to put up a hell of a fight. I know. I just don't know when it's going to be declared tonight. We don't know that. You know, know I'm not as possible. It's possible that 100 percent, depending what stage, come in. Because, I mean, you know, the states to really watch North Carolina, Iowa and what's the other one?

I mean, you know, Florida, Florida, North Carolina, Ohio and Florida, because those three always come in on Election Day. And, you know, if if Joe Biden wins those three, there's really no path to victory for Donald Trump.

There's a county in New Hampshire that's already declared that Joe Biden is a winner. Yeah.

So if North Carolina and North Carolina, Iowa and Florida, if Joe Biden runs the table on all three of those, he seems more than likely be the next president of the United States of America.

OK, well, the interview with Chelsea yesterday, right? Yeah. Teslik Figaro to host. It is a great shot. No Chaser podcast, political pundit. Ground organizer should be in the streets. Yes, she she pulled up yesterday to talk about all things election this morning. And my guy, Jamie Harrison. Jamie Harrison is running for South Carolina senator against Lindsey Lady Bob Graham. He'll be checking in with us this morning as well. He's on the ballot in South Carolina.

So South Carolina, I hope y'all go out there and do the right thing, because if not, Lindsey Graham really might have you all back in the good old days of segregation. OK, all right. Well, let's get the show crackin. Front page news. What are we talking about? You, if you had to guess.

What would you think that was awkward silence. What was it, if you had to guess front page news today on Election Day, what would you think? All right, well, we'll get into it.

You might have a hot, loving hip hop story. Never know who knows Basketball Wives. Who knows The Breakfast Club. Good morning, everybody.

C.J. N.V., Angela Charlemagne, the guy we are the Breakfast Club, is getting some front page news now.

Last night, my giants are pretty much up the whole game loss to the Buccaneers. Twenty five. Twenty three. The Giants are now one and seven.

I don't like how pleasant you said that the Giants are one in seven. They suck. OK, and it got washed last night by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. All right. We definitely did get washed. We did not get washed.

Who won? Who won the game? The Buccaneers. OK, then that's W stands for Watch the W. They got down for a win and washed. All right.

All right. The Cowboys are just one game away because they are two in six.

Well, we still better than y'all. OK, how you slice it at the moment we are better than y'all. All right. You what else you got?

Well, let's talk about what's happening on the campaign trail yesterday was everybody's closing out as today is Election Day. Now, Donald Trump was lashing out at different people who he feels are against him as they are. You know, they are people that he talks about, including Jay-Z, I'd say Jon Bon Jovi, Lady Gaga. Listen to this.

Now he's got Lady Gaga, Lady Gaga. I can tell you plenty of stories. I could tell you stories about Lady Gaga. I do a lot of stories about Lady Gaga. Oh, I see him. He kisses my ass. Oh, Mr. President, they got Beyonce and Jay-Z and he started using the F word, you remember, in front of this crowd. And then they laughed and the crowd laughed. And Hillary's standing on the stage with an empty place and she was talking.

Interesting, this is what he's concerned about, maybe talking about LeBron James.

How about LeBron? I felt badly for LeBron down 71 percent. You know why when they don't respect our country, when they don't respect our flag, nobody wants to watch Bobby. And the NFL is way down. They've got to have really be great to our flag and to our anthem. And if you don't do that without watching. What a I mean, that's what a crowd I mean, that's just not accurate. LeBron James doesn't suck. He's the best basketball player in the world.

Like I mean, that's just not accurate. What do you when are we talking about here, people? You got to be you've got to be right with your chance.

Now, a little pump. Who has been saying that he's voting for Donald Trump? He posted magged 20, 20, 20. Hopefully that is the year. And he said if Donald Trump doesn't get re-elected, he'll be leaving the country. Well, Donald Trump did bring a little pump to the stage.

Speaking of sound, music and other things, one of the big superstars of the world.

Hello, Little Pennsville in Little Rock right up here.

Oh, my God. Right thing. Mega 20, 20, 20.

Don't forget that later. Correct. His name. He gets his name right.

I mean, he is 20, 20, 20 minutes they name. Right. She wasn't there.

He was there. You know, all those little pig, little pig, all those celebrity endorsements that cool. But if they think that's all it's going to take to win over black people moving forward, I mean, on both sides, Republican and Democrat, they are they demand because Biden has when I'm going to be on their ass holding them accountable, I'm not celebrating nothing. We've got things we want done in the first 100 days.

We've got work to do. Absolutely. Let me ask you to the other little tip. So I guess we do now. He just renamed them gentleman, you know, a little pop song, a pimp song.

Would it be OK? No, I'm 42 years old. I know nothing about low point man.

Imagine you out here going high for Donald Trump any closer to the stage, little pimp.

I mean, he probably got homeboys that call you pimp all day long. What's up, pimp in. So, I mean, I don't I wouldn't care.

All right. All righty. Thank you, T.J.. Jealous?

Oh, right. Thank you, Angela. Be all right now.

Up next. Don't do that to Angela. They still they do between Lee and BP. And I really don't know why it so hard.

And I don't know either. I know why they haven't grasped the child of a gay.

That's true. But anyway, get it off your chest. Eight hundred five eight five one two five one. If you need to hit us up now is the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

This is the story about two guys from opposite sides of the street, a hustler blamed for robbing the most dangerous gangsters in the country.

This is like issued a death warrant for somebody that I don't even think about.

And the cop who tried to save his life, they thought he had robbed a dead man in this country, guys who would not hesitate to blow your head off. In 1970, Muhammad Ali triumphantly returned to the ring at the hustler's party that followed. Gangsters from around the country were robbed of a million dollars.

This is your time to get it off your chest. So the young man. I hear from you on the Breakfast Club, you've got something on your mind, let it out. Hello, who's this? Good morning. As a man, deja vu. What up, bro? What's up, bro? I know my bad, my bad, my bad. Good morning. Charlamagne Edgerly with a Y. Hey, thank you. Thank you for taking my call.

You already know your listen. I listen all the time. Hold up dramas. Don't bang it on your boy. Shout out for. Oh all right. Give you can say drums so you better watch your back.

No I know I get the stomach back. Back my legs. I'm okay. Why are you cursing the relax. I play with your dad.

Yo I'm high you know. But let me let me let you know though Charlamagne. I'm with you on Election Day. I haven't heard about people arming up today, which is getting me a little upset, you know what I mean? I'm gonna go with my mom to the polling booth. So you should. I'm playing around today. Yeah, I. Well, I will. And we're going to do it as early as we can, you know what I mean?

So, like, you know, the democratic the democratic movement is going today. Everybody who needs the change to the future is moving and doing what they got to do today. I'm not gonna hold up no more time. I know you got to the farm. Can I give a quick shout out to my brother about them? And if I need a train in New York, you got a gym given out resections about Medema, quote about Instagram. If I get it out and at you, you owe me a beat out top of the line trying to look.

I love covid totally free. All right. Oh, no.

You know, you ask questions and you do it anyway way you can. I give this business a shout out, then you just give it a shot like I want to give on Instagram.

I just do it. It's like, you know, like, yo, can I get some tips?

And they got they handed a bag already a Hazra. I want to I want to salute you too, because you got the right idea, man. If anybody out there who's got, you know, older people in their life or women or, you know, first time voters that are like eighteen years old, like yo, go to them with the polls, you know, I mean, because it's going to be a lot of voter intimidation polls with them.

They go to the polls with them today and hold them down.

Absolutely must. Yeah. Much love and respect. You got to do what I do. And thank you for having me, man. Yes.

All right, brother. Yeah, absolutely right. You know, even with my daughter, when we did the early ballots, I mean, sure, we filled out all the information together because I didn't want my daughter at the polls by herself and saying to her mom and pops, all my pops is good money.

But you put down that pistol shot us. And he's an ex cop. That's right. And still knows how to use it pretty well. That's right. So, I mean, but for what we really do, we really should be thinking about that today, because, like I said, it's going to be a lot of voter intimidation at the polls. And, you know, we've got to protect each other as much as we can when we are nearly 100 million people have already voted.

Who knows what to walk up is going to be today. But once again, you know, regardless of what happens tonight, it's nothing to celebrate black people. We got work to do.

Get it off your chest. Eight hundred five eight five one two five one. If you need to hit us up now is the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

The Breakfast Club. Kuhnen is a conspiracy theory so complex that it formed a cult like following many of its followers think Q is associated with Donald Trump and that he's cryptically communicating with them via obscure image boards online. Hundreds of thousands of people across the world believing this, and as a result, Kuhnen, as torn families apart, led people to violence and is even infiltrating the highest levels of government with disinformation. Now, in 2020, more than 70 US congressional candidates have either shed or outright endorsed Kuhnen material.

President Trump has even given a veiled thumbs up to the movement outside of what the conspiracy community thinks. Nobody quite knows the true identity of. Q We aim to change that. I'm Jake Hanrahan. Join me for a Q Clearance, a podcast series that aims to look at who is really behind. Q and on listen to Q clearance on the radio up Appu podcasts or wherever you listen to podcasts. Wake up, wake up, wake your ass. This is your time to get it off your chest.

The amount of blacks we want to hear from you on the Breakfast Club. Hello, whose's. Good morning. This is your chance.

I just want to first say that I love you guys so much. I want to thank you guys for the work that you have been doing. Give the information out here to us. And I just wanted to say, let me let the politicians try to pander you with these celebrities that you using in the debate because people like us and they're going to go for whoever they are because they are punished. All right. But all of the places we went to vote today, just make sure you do the right thing and holding people accountable, you know, for whoever gets near the black people, we need more.

We think we are both caught doing nothing. That's right. Yeah. We just need to hold people accountable. Also did it right quick enough. I've been trying to get a house and the president is really urging me I'm a little old school and I will not put everything in the bank. So I'm not able to get a house because the money I've been saving, you know, they don't have the transaction. So we save the money in the bank that you need.

But how do you still have these?

Do you still get paychecks? You still get monthly income? Yes. OK. All right. Well, if the monthly income can handle your home buying, you can always get one gift, if you know what I mean. So somebody gives you a gift. You have enough money for that down payment. You know, you got family members that can give you a gift. I'm not telling you to do nothing illegal, but you can get one gift when it comes to buying a house.

And as long as your monthly income can satisfy these banks that are definitely doing it, if you need somebody, I can put you in touch with somebody more because they probably don't know anybody.

Everyone in my family really does do. The bank is the only one that really started it. And yes. How do you see anybody or anybody? How old are you? Thirty eight. OK, are you going to run?

I give his name, his name to the mortgage guy. He gets he gets a lot of people loans. He works for a lot of people.

Doesn't matter if you're a first time homebuyer or you want to go home use or whatever it may be, and hopefully he can help you out.

OK, thank you so much. All right. You hold on. OK, OK.

You have a good day, guys. All right, Dana, you got something to get off your chest? Yes. And let me tell you, I had a difficult time. I actually have a new show I'm doing on Fox. So they actually premieres on Thursday. So I was working on that yesterday. And on my way home, I was looking for parking and it took me almost an hour to find a parking spot, 50 minutes it took me.

I was driving around in circles for fifty minutes. I want to get that off my chest. I don't feel bad for you.

You mean. I mean you live ten minutes from the city. I mean, that's part of the thing you got to do. You live ten minutes from the city. So I didn't feel bad. I wanted to get it off my chest.

Sometimes I'll take you fifteen minutes parking you. You had the option. You could you look at the bright side. It's never taken me. Be happy that you have a car to park. That is true, but don't even have a car to park.

That is the problem is any oil in my car. And it was like if you don't get oil now, turn off your car immediately. And I couldn't find parking for fifty minutes. I was nervous and my car was going to blow up.

Yo E is not you know, nobody changed the oil any more to add oil. Oh yeah. And it was that same. You change the oil in your car.

I mean you want to be changed. I mean take it to go get God now oil.

If I had to put the oil in myself, I don't take it to get done. I can do that much is the worst car owner ever.

He doesn't put me in a car. I don't know if you have gas in the car when it comes to speed bumps, she speeds up.

I don't feel sorry for us. You can buy our own Birken. If you can buy your own burger, you put your own oil in.

You guys keep talking about my car. You get another flat on your bike and you're right. You're right. Get it off your chest. Eight hundred five eight five zero five one.

Now, we got room on the way. Yes. And Adrien Brody, I'm sure he has a lot to get off his chest today after he got thrown in jail.

Damn it, man. All right. We'll get into that. Next is The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. It's about time she's feeling the. This is the room, a rapport with Angela Yeo on The Breakfast Club. Well, Adrien Broner went to jail, this happened yesterday in Cleveland, he was held in contempt of court as part of a civil lawsuit, a woman that he assaulted at a nightclub in 2018 and won that judgment against him.

He was ordered to pay more than eight hundred thousand dollars back in and he was ordered to pay that in December. And the judge said there was an Instagram video that showed him holding large stacks of money after saying that he had over just over 13 dollars in cash back on October 5th in court. So the judge has ordered that he has to remain in jail and still provide complete, truthful information about his finances. The woman's attorney now, Adrien Broner, was in court.

And here's what he had to say.

I never thought I would be plans to take care of me with all the money from. Because I have the money for this, because, listen, I got to be off and when I when I need that money to there never asking for money, I gave it to them. And now that is something that I know about that I was just sending you money. My friends, I talked to Patty Davis. I would never like to see anybody.

And I thank God I've never had that peacock gene. My dad instilled that me and made me early. My dad always told me it's better to have money than to look like you have money. He actually would point out old white men growing up in Moscona and how plain they would dress and he'd be like, say he's rich and you would never know. And that's always been my mind. That is way too much pressure being like brothers, like a B, because when you fall off, boy, everybody you know and you end up looking and sounding like that.

Well, it got even worse. Listen to this, how are they said you are using? Mr. John is going to need to know they submitted to the bank the sum of money in your account information was provided this case. I don't know how that is, but I can assure you that you didn't have any money. Tell us what it says in here. I don't have a lot of money and I spend it. I got to spend it on bills, I, I don't care about bills.

So right now I have to. Right. You know, you don't have to write. He just he just.

Oh, my goodness. I couldn't really hear what he said. I just heard him say that he bought bills. I watched that video about 100 times yesterday. I'm trying to figure out why a B look like Sosi Santana, like he built like Zarzis Anthony in that courtroom, just showing all that shape. Why are you showing all that? And I that see, Santana is fine. All right. Now, Adrien Broner also says that he can pay, but he has a fight coming up.

He got to wait till after that.

I got a fight coming up first. I hope it doesn't take you that long, is this question. I'm going to fight my. Just pray that that's irrelevant to me. You know what, I'm not here to let people say I'm going to give you the money you're there and disregard every court order in the interim. This is a problem, sir, if you would ignore. Basically, every order I give in your book now, there is a punishment, I'm giving you extensions, I give you time, I trust you're going to get this done well before your by redistricting.

I don't like that, though. And I'll tell you why. Even though he was he was he was flawless and he was Capitoline, that's all he had to say. Look, it's not my money. Look, I was just I was front, but I have a fight. He can't make money unless he fights. That's the whole thing. Like, he's not he doesn't have a nine to five. It's nine to five is Boxun.

First of all, stop making excuses. The situation is sad, OK? There's absolutely no reason for a to be in that position other than he just doesn't understand financial literacy.

But he is. And he can't be. He can't bring it back. It's not like he's like I made a mistake. I can keep the money.

You honest. It wasn't his money. And you're saying you don't have it. It's like stop fronting. And if you can borrow money, do that. And if you and you should have worked out a payment plan, whatever it is that you have to do, but you just can't flash it on Instagram, whether or not is his it's just not a smart thing to do.

Like why would you put yourself in harm's way like that? Because not only do you have legal issues you got to deal with, like we see him in the court, you got wolves out here to try to take your head off of something that's not even yours. Come on. And you keep it real if you win a judgment against someone. And then they said they don't have the money and all this money on Instagram, you would be like, OK, they have it people.

And whether or not he got a list of what is for who gave it to him, you just can't be the gram doing it.

I probably wasn't his money. He was probably frightened to get some likes. Like, you see, people do that all the time. You question know that when you have a judgment against you and you just said in court two weeks ago or whatever that you don't have. And we listen and be sensitive and let him let that man owe him some money. And you see him on the ground like this over No. One with emergency, No. One one one one nine.

Mary J. What's the four one one you're going to be calling everyone one, you know, trying to get your money.

Please just obey. Giambrone does get it together, but that just wasn't a smart thing to do. All right. Now, Freeway think Joe Biden after Joe Biden consult him following his son's death. This was all that Joe Biden's rally in Philly. And even though Freeway's oldest son passed away last week, he still went to the rally and still performed as part of the entertainment.

So here is what happened back really threeway for being here, performing heartbroken, heartbroken by the Boston Strong. I know the pain the parents faced were only. Got my purpose try. Yeah, that was class, the only freeway responded on social media sent me and my brother Moschino both lost our sons in the same week to Abidin. Thank you for the kind words. I know. I know you know the pain that comes with losing a son. We are from two totally different worlds, but we can relate to each other.

You have my vote on Tuesday.

The only thing I wish is when they are prepping Joe to do those shout outs. Give them the right way to see it, OK?

You don't have to pronounce the home for every Philadelphia freeway, OK? At least they are free from Philly Freeway from Philly. Somethin's Jesus. Yes, a little pimp though. Make it sound organic.

It is better than a little tip though. It is very little tin and not really neither one of them know they're talking about. Just make it sound a little more organic.

That's all right. You. All right, well, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your rooma report. All right. Thank you, Miss.

Yea, right now, when we come back, we have the brother, Ed Gordon, check in. We got a lot to talk about today, of course, it is Election Day, so we'll talk to Ed Gordon when we come back. Don't Move is The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

The Breakfast Club, your mornings. I'll never be the same when a train hits a vehicle at a railway crossing. The results are often deadly because at crossings and if the signals are going, don't be tempted to try and sneak across the tracks. Even if you don't see a train stop, trains can't be brought to you by Nizza warning everybody is D.J. Envy.

Angela Charlamagne, the guy we are at a breakfast club. Usually we do front page news right now, but we got the brother, Ed Gordon on the line. Good morning, sir.

Good morning. Good morning. And how are you, my brother? I'm good, man. How you feeling? I'm blessed, black and highly favored.

I know you've seen a few of these in your lifetime and none quite like this though. So. So what do you think the world going to look like after today, man?

You know, I pray that the world looks like that we will pull that moving van up to the White House and get this idiot out of the oval.

As I like to say, you know, throughout my career, I have never come out against publicly any president who said in office, even those that I disagreed with vehemently on a policy side. But this man is dangerous. We've been saying it now for four years, dangerous, incompetent. He is appointed all of these federal judges, all the things that we've said that will affect us long before he leaves, whether he leaves in January of twenty twenty one or whether he leaves in another four years.

He has impacted our lives negatively for a long, long time. So we got to get out there. I posted an article on BET.com yesterday, and I'm still amazed that the black folk who sometimes say just pushing people to vote is is putting too much on our community. Why is everybody, you know, blaming us for the vote? Why is everybody suggesting that it's up to us? It is up to us. You know, this is one of the few times that we really have the opportunity to have a push and sway in how our lives are affected in this nation.

And so anybody who was in these swing states who is registered and has yet to vote needs to get out on line. You know, when we lost C.T. Vivian and John Lewis, we all talked about their legacy and what we were going to do. Well, no better way to salute those men than to vote today.

And we're talking about the states like Michigan, Georgia, Florida, North Carolina, Ohio, Wisconsin means where we really need Florida black people to get out there and vote in Pennsylvania, Philly, Philly's got a turnout.

Pittsburgh turnout. We got to do this now.

Also, you're hosting a special NAACP to host a two day special talking about the black voter experience. And we were telling people they got to be careful, go at each other because they're going to be trying to intimidate us like crazy.

Talk about that a little bit. That's right. I've been doing these and Charlamagne was part of one of them, these town hall meetings throughout the pandemic for the NAACP. And so we wanted to do something on election night. You know, CNN will have great coverage, teams will have great coverage. But we also want it to give us an opportunity to give what we is what we say is unfettered, you know, black perspective. And so from seven to midnight and we may go a little longer.

I'll be on anchoring with Derrick Johnson. He'll be coming in and out as CEO of the NAACP. But we got people like Michael Eric Dyson and Jemele Hill. D.L. Hughley will be on with us. You know, the list goes on and on. And we'll be talking about, you know, where we sit throughout the evening. We'll have elected officials. We'll also be taking phone calls. You know, we want to hear from people of voter intimidation is going on.

We need to hear it. NAACP is going to dispatch people to these polls. So, you know, we're going to do as much as we can to be protective of, you know, our ability to get out there because it's go time psychopath.

You know, I'm with you on getting these fascists out the White House. Right. But I don't think that I don't think what the Democrats are doing is a sustainable model, because when you think about the base of the Democratic Party, black women, black men, Dems stand to lose us because every presidential election is the same thing. Show up with Democrats, you know. But when they going to show up for us is the question so many black people keep asking right to things.

And I will agree with you 1000 percent. One of the problems is Democrats have been outplayed politically for years and years and years.

You know, when you have numbers every time you go into an election, but somehow you can't turn those numbers out to defeat your opponent, something's wrong. The other thing is it's incumbent upon us to make sure that we start playing the game past Election Day. You know, to many of us think Election Day is your last day. You did your duty and now you walk away and you wait for things to happen. Election Day should be day one for you, particularly if your candidate gets in office, because the only reason that Joe Biden won the nomination is because of black folk in South Carolina.

That's right, Jim. No ifs, ands or buts. Had he lost? That is over, he's done, you know, so what we've got to do is make sure that we play the game beyond tonight, particularly if Biden wins. And so I agree with you, a thousand percent of Democrats are going to have to find a new model and a new way of doing things. And we can no longer be accepting of the cliché of them showing up at a black church every four years, you know, giving us hugs and, you know, putting a couple of dollars in the plate.

And we're happy. And to the CBC and black leaders, I say it's not enough for you to be just invited to the Christmas party at the White House and, you know, take pictures in the Rose Garden and you're cool with that. You know, we've been struggling as a community for far too long, for far too long is unacceptable for us to take any leader, black, white or otherwise, you know, taking us for granted anymore.

Well, we're talking to Ed Gordon. And you mentioned the first day should be when the president starts. So if Biden wins, what would you vote for him for black Americans for the first, let's say, the first year, first 100 days.

I mean, you know, and I never I never look at that. That's that artificial no media made up. We like to look at the first hundred days. You look at most people's first hundred days. They don't do a damn thing in those first hundred days. What I would like, though, is I'm again placing it more on our leadership to have asks, you know, what are we walking in in those first 100 days and say, you know, this is what we want.

This is what we want for our vote. And, you know, part of the issue with any group is who goes in and makes that ask. Right. You know, back in the day and we were never in lockstep. It was never one leader. It was never that we all follow came never that we all followed Malcolm or Marcus or anyone. But there were there were groups that had a more of a sway. And it was a more a singular thought of where where we're going.

We've got disparate asked now, you know, these these leaders are going to have to determine to a great degree amongst themselves. And part of that is just, you know, political and who's network and who's closer. But what are you going in and ask for? You know, and I think that we have to look at for me, police reform, real police reform with teeth is something that impacts all of us. You know, I'm 60 years old, man.

If I thought this hurry up and I ride in a in a car, I could be pulled over, shot and killed by police with at least 30 donuts.

Because you look 30. I don't know. I look at thirty, but I appreciate it. But the idea that, you know, we used to say all young black men are in danger, we're all in danger. Right. You got to look the little bit of melanin I got. Roll it. I'm in danger. Right.

So we have to make sure that we do not take this any longer. You know, we've been silent and docile too long, and it's time for us to keep this fervour up. You know, I just did an interview with Felonious Floyd, George Floyd's brother, and he got emotional. He said, Mr. Gordon, you know, I'm struggling. I'm struggling. And we as a community continue to struggle and we've got to back one another up, you know, I mean, literally stand back to back each other's back and we can no longer, you know, be sidelined and sidetracked by the foolishness we've been sidelined or sidetracked for too long.

Yeah. For all of us who got platforms, voices, it's up to us to connect with folks who are already doing the work and help them push those demands they are making, you know, whether it's on a local level, national level or whatever.

Yeah, we talk to Amanda Seales. It'll be on tonight during our coverage. And you can find the coverage on the NAACP social platforms on my Facebook page. Bouncer's carrying it on their digital channels. It'll be all over and you can go to my Instagram and Elgort and get the information. But Amanda said the exact same thing. She said, look, I've got a platform now. She said in the in the interview that she's a learned woman from Colombia, has studied policy and the like.

She said, but my but she said, you know, I'm not an organizer. I'm not a politician. I'm not. But I have a platform. And you're absolutely right, man. You know, those of us who have been blessed with a platform need to utilize it with the right people, you know? And look, you know, rappers have every bit, actors have every bit. Singers have every bit the right to have a voice.

But that does not mean you follow them. Right, for, you know, you know, your your political insight, quote unquote. You can if you choose. But, you know, I don't want to do that work. God bless them all, but I don't want to put our future in their hands. I agree with you. All right.

Well, we appreciate you for checking in, brother. Thank you so much. Thank you, King. Hey, man. Always love you. All right.

That was Ed Gordon. That was front page news. Then when we come back, Tesla Figaro will be joining me. I think Tesla Figaro will be joining us. You can buy on Canal Street just now officially.

Figaro will be joining us is the Breakfast Club. Good morning, The Breakfast Club. Perhaps the world's most dangerous morning sort of breakfast club, Charlemagne, the God Angela, we've got a special guest on The Zoom right now. She is the host of The Straight Shot No Chaser podcast on the Black Effect I Heart Radio Podcast Network. Tevlin Figueiro.

Good morning, family. Glad to be back. How you feeling? I'm feeling really good. Really, really good. How are you guys? I'm blessed.

Black and highly favored, leaning into the uncertainty of the week. We don't know what the world going to look like after after this election. I'm nervous.

Are you really you know, the one thing that we know for sure is the day after the election doesn't change for us.

You know, those of us who have been pushing on, pushing on the ground, pushing for a black agenda, pushing for the importance of a black vote, we also know that everybody is going to work for sure. You know, I know there's a lot of, you know, hysteria about what's going to happen, what a lot of you are going to be clocking in just like you clucky. And every other day you're going to pay your bills just like you do every other week, you know?

So I think it's really important to people kind of take a pause and just kind of sit back and reflect, you know, there's so much going on. And twenty I lost a grandmother, great grandmother on last Friday. And when I think about and reflect, you know, how time is not promised to anybody and I'm really just over the hysteria, Charlamagne, you know what I mean?

I'm ready to get it over with. Probably not for the reasons that would would be ideal, but really just so everybody can calm down.

My grandmother is eighty nine and I can't be on the phone her five or ten minutes without talking about Trump. Well my aunt is sixty five. I can't be on the phone with her five or ten minutes without her talking about Trump. So people are just as such a high level of anxiety that I'm just ready for it to be over with so that we can kind of reassess and move forward.

I tell you on that happen because my parents came over this weekend and as I can not talk about that for like five minutes, my dad and I still have text messages like family group text messages. It's all like articles and posts about Donald Trump. And it's kind of like we always like, you know, and it depends on who you talk to, what news you like, what news outlet you watch.

You hear different things. Yeah, it's a lot.

I've always wanted everybody to be up, you know, when we say stay woke. But I'm kind of ready for some people to sleep real.

You know, I wanted everybody involved, but I got to change my mind. Some people need to go back to sleep.

Yeah, some some of these people so weak that they tired. They need some sleep. So they're not even thinking straight in the morning, not even talking screaton no more.

What are your predictions for the election day?

You know, I keep saying they belong to the streets. You know, I think none of us, none of us can really predict anything because we did that and. Well, I didn't. But a lot of folks did in twenty sixteen and we saw the predictions around what I've been focusing on. Charlamagne is actually looking at the data, early voting data, you know, so when we look at early voting data, Democrats are coming ahead. You know, there's a conversation saying that Pennsylvania, the black vote needs to get out, needs to do more hashtag.

We will not be blaming black men and we certainly won't be laying blame on black voters. But when I look at the actual data, Democrats, they put me in work. You know, I believe the last time I looked, it was over between 50 and 60 percent of those in Pennsylvania with only a little bit over 20 percent of Republicans. Does that mean a flood won't come in between today and tomorrow? Does it mean that people won't show up on Election Day?

Of course, there's still that that possibility. But based on the data, Democrats are coming ahead. But we can't just assume that everybody's a Democrat involved Democrat. What are some of these Democrats, Al Gore, what Trump would have the 20 percent of the Republicans you see turning in ballots in Pennsylvania, what have they ridin with Biden? So we can't take things for granted. And that's what the biggest lesson of 20, 20 years, which we still didn't learn in 2016, is that no vote can be taken for granted at any time.

So I'm just not predicting anything, except I know on the 4th, the day after I'm getting back to work, doing the things that I've been doing for the last 20 years now, some people think by the fourth we'll already know the outcome. But of course, it's still going to be ballots that have to be counted. Right. So can you break that down? Like, when will we know who won the election? Sure.

You remember in Iowa during the Democrat primary when there was a big mix up about who won the election? We still don't know. It's amazing. And nobody brings that up like that. Just totally just went away. So I can't tell you because looking at Iowa, again, big issue during the Democratic primary, we never really found out who win.

There was also suspicion about New Hampshire, what Mayor Mary and Bernie Sanders and who won that. So I really don't know. It is so much about it's going to depend where it is, how much influence that vote has, what they can contests in the courts, how fast the courts get through that. If we ever get an answer, if it is decidedly won by either Trump or Biden, we can kind of go on with our lives and let them flush all of that out.

It's really going to come down to how close it is and where that state, you know, where it actually happened on how we're going to be able to move.

So I'm hoping for decidedly, you know, a straight up landslide, no question about it, this is the winner so that we can kind of move on. But I think we all agree that no matter what the result is, if it's not in Trump's favor, he will be contesting. I think we all know that for sure. We don't know nothing else, you know, regardless of the outcome.

And you mentioned this a couple of times, like what should black people be doing after this election? Because that's what I think people understand. Regardless of who wins, black people are still going to be in a certain condition in this country. What should we be doing after this election?

That's absolutely correct. Talking speaking for my brother, good brother, killing Michael Brown, planning plot and strategizing, organizing also our Black Party, which is a group that a lot of us has tapped into to support. That is an organization that is a PAC, a nonpartisan organization that is focused on a black agenda, a ballot down candidates really important. We're putting black folks in office, but not just black because you're black, but those who are actually supporting the agenda.

That's a good organization. I think people really need to connect to something. It's kind of like after the election that high down and we never really capitalize on it. After 2008 and 2012, people just celebrated. They drank the champagne and then it went flat. That's right.

And so when you look at Florida, which is my political stomping ground, just using it as an example, when those folks, you know, just kind of went flat and started celebrating, it is why Andrew Gwilliam wasn't able to still win. Like that matters.

He came close, but it would've been so much closer if the Democrat Party had invested in candidates, you know, in the Democrat Party, if they invested in operations on the ground. The hard truth of the matter is Florida is now an issue because you don't spend money on black media. You do not spend money on black consultants. You do not invest in the per say, you know, to get actual organizers on the ground. To be quite honest with you, Mike Bloomberg doing the Democrat primary was one of the few that actually invested.

It was giving people money in their pockets on the street to go out and push his campaign. But obviously he didn't make it through the Democrat primary.

So those types of things have to happen year over year over year in order for it to push up to the top. And so I'm hoping that you just latch on to something. You don't have to agree with my position. You don't have to agree with our Black Party or KMAG says or whoever is out there but latched on to something, because if not, then you lose that adrenaline and we have to start all the way over in another four years, all the way from from the start.

So one thing Trump has done is walk a lot of folks up for sure. It may have been a splash of cold water. You know, the way you don't want to wake up. It wasn't a gentle wake up wake up, but it was the last cold water. And so I'm hoping that people really get involved the day after.

We have more with Taslim Figueiro when we come back. Don't Move is The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. Is deejay in the Angeles shallowing the guy we are. The Breakfast Club is still kicking it with Tesla and Figueiro.

Gee, how do you explain these hip hop ideas like a little Wayne or Waka Flocka who are coming forward and putting their support behind Donald Trump?

I've been talking about hip hop and politics for the last decade plus, and I was told by elected officials that it was a waste of time, that nobody pays attention to that demographic, nobody listens to hip hop artists and so forth. I ran for office for about three months and immediately got off the ballot. But when I was on office, when I ran, I was with three months.

I involved hip hop in my campaign from music to outreach to really going towards that demographic that is not, quote unquote the super voter. I have always said that if you ignore certain demographic for too long, they will show. Well, let's just look at any relationship. You don't take care of your woman.

You never take out you never spend money on your sex is trash. Well, eventually, at some point, what is she going to do, either leave you or she's going to step out? That is the reality of all relationships. So when you look at a demographic that has been ignored year over, year over year over year over year and somebody of rappers, I'm just going to keep it all the way real straight shot with no chaser. These candidates have said they were going to call them and make a connection and they didn't know.

I'm not going to throw out those names because it's their business to tell. But when you do that, people start feeling some type of way. You can't just keep ignoring a certain demographic and say, oh, well, anybody listen, Lil Wayne, anybody listening? Ice Cube? Well, why is it that they've been trending for days? Somebody listen to somebody you can't ignore, somebody that has a reach to touch millions of people and to make people react like that?

What Al Sharpton is saying, this is no disrespect. I'm just keeping it like keeping it real. Al Sharpton, what he's saying is not trending with a lot of these commentators are saying I'm not trending. Would Jesse Jackson say it is not trending with the NAACP president saying it's not trending? So why is it that. Q And and Wayne and 50 said why were they able to make a trend? This is something about they get a reaction from influence.

And so when you ignore that demographic, it's not about Wayne and Bettison. And I know people going to say, oh, Wayne, just doing a. For himself, OK, maybe so put your thinking cap on. This is outside of Wayne and 50 Cent, I'm talking about a certain sector of people that have been looked down upon by operatives. And I know this based on what I know, not what I heard. And so now you have these guys coming out saying, you know what, we do have influence.

We do have a voice. We do have something to say, even if it's just trolling, because I believe it was just straight up trolling. But it says a lot about you have to bring these brothers under the fold. You can't keep ignoring them over and over and just dismiss them as, oh, well, they don't know what they talking about anyway. Nobody listening. Why anybody listening to you see that? Because if that was the case, we would keep asking people to vote year over, year over year.

Why is it that we are still begging people to vote like we have for the last 60, 70 plus years?

At some point you're the common denominator, man. At some point is you you can't keep being the voter. We got to look at you. So I don't necessarily agree with the timing, you know, of all what what they what they did. But I think it was necessary for us to have that conversation, to talk about how do we move forward, because Cuba obviously I'm sitting down here not backing down for nobody. But what I will say, this includes the fence we've been talking about f the police and has been speaking for our community for thirty plus years.

When we're standing back and standing by, the least you could have did was allow Cuba to affirm his position and not just go based on what one tweet said and completely try to cancel their brother as if he hasn't done anything for our community, as if he hasn't spoke up for our community at all. So for that alone, I believe Cuba should at least have an opportunity to plan his position. And if you don't agree with his position, keep you know, keep it moving.

I'm also going to say this about little Wayne, and I don't know if he'll say this. He already said he didn't mind saying it publicly because the family, you know, Jacob Blake's family talked about how little Wayne called. Jacob Blake talked about how to give that little man gifted him. You know, that was something that he really, really needed. This is the kind of stuff that goes on behind the scenes that people are not aware, aware about.

And I will say this, a lot of these politicians haven't done a damn thing for these victims. They are quick to put the pictures out there. They are quick to say what they're going to do. But when it comes down to those receipts, you just can't ignore these brothers and what they have tried to do. And again, this is not endorsement a little, Wayne, 50 Cent or ice cubes. So keep your ass out the comments.

I'm speaking on the you know, the totality of it all and what they represent.

Do you think that some hip hop artist might have like that are supporting it? And Kamala Harris, do you think that perhaps they don't get as much attention? Because the criterions probably do like the people that are hip hop artists that are endorsing Trump? We get outraged about that. But the people who are supporting Biden here is just we just feel like, OK, that's what it is, because there are artists who are doing that and are public about it.

But we're not really acknowledging that so much.

Well, because it's the norm. You know, normally the Democrat Party always has the entertainers lineup. What I say is this is when I hear people say, oh, they pay a fee to say they pay a little Wayne. Well, why? Nobody ever asks if they pay. And those other artists, they are not getting paid. And I say that, Angela, I don't want to be clear. I'm not saying they get paid. You know, I'm saying that when we have that conversation, let's have it on both sides.

When you have conversations about somebody getting paid, that's type that's broke the conversation to me.

I will tell you, me as a single mom have been offered opportunities and I don't have weighings, money and fifty cents money and none of their influence. And I didn't take those opportunities. So, yes, opportunities are presented to you. But believe it or not, some people actually stand on their principles instead of focusing on a single syncopate focus on some of these donors who are donating to these campaigns because they're the ones that are getting paid and actually, oh, somebody for their money.

So they don't get the attention, I guess, because it's just the norm. But a lot of them do and a lot of them get influence behind the Jay-Z got plenty attention when he supported Hillary Clinton and Obama and all of that.

They he put it in his rap songs. He was able to take it to another level of influence from a businessman standpoint. But whereas Jay-Z right now, I mean, is anybody asking that those are questions that, you know, people I would like to know, why is he not out, you know, supporting Joe Biden? But I think it really comes down to it's not even about a hip hop artist or even a commentator that thinks they know every damn thing people have to make their own mind up.

That's why I keep saying it belongs to the streets. You are going to do what I want to do at this point. You know, we just have to move forward on how are we going to get this thing, tighten this up after the election.

Yeah, I'm all for black people thinking freely about their politics, even if I don't agree with their politics, because I just feel like we've been we've been too predictable for too long. So I like the shake up, you know? I mean, I think that's going to benefit us in the long run. And, you know, to the whole cube thing, we never give black people the same grace we give white folks. They'll cancel Ice Cube in two seconds.

We tell you, how dare you speak on on Joe Biden's record. Why do you think people think you can't critique Joe Biden and still support that that ticket?

I think we have just got to a point where logic has went out the window. It is all about tribalism. You know, I talk a lot about Bloods and Crips and I know a lot of people in different. Regions don't understand that, and it really reminds me of that tribal, you know, I feel like on Instagram people are coming up to me saying break yourself that you claim, you know, it's like there is a mindset that nothing can be questioned.

You know, both things can be true. I can still support Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and still critique the crime bill.

We are just in a place where all the oil is out the window. Our logic is out the window, but we just come to a place of just ridiculousness, just to be quite honest with you. That's why I'm so ready to get it over with so we can really have full conversations. And it's a mental thing. Charlamagne, for real, a lot of people just really want to put their head in the sand and get this over with because they don't want to have to deal with the real problem, the real world.

We can still be unified and have our own armies that are pushing different agendas. And whoever pushes the agenda first and gets there first is the winner. As long as it is collectively for black people. I don't care what side that you're on, as long as it's about collectively pushing the line for black people, we all win. Let's stop arguing about we all need to be on the same page. I think that's just a waste of time. I will keep it locked.

We got more with Tesla and Figural. When we come back is The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody.

Is D.J. Ye shall I mean, the guy we are, the Breakfast Club is still kicking it with Tesla Figaro. Ye.

One thing we see with Donald Trump right now though, and I will say this when it makes him even more dangerous though is that he can't accept any criticism or anybody telling him, hey, you know, that's fine, you shouldn't have done that like that. And even what we just saw recently with the Trump trains and how they surrounded the campaign bus for Biden and Harris and tried to run them up the road, and he encourages that type of behavior.

So what do you think is going to happen? Because people are looking at this like after Election Day, there's going to be all kinds of riots and violence. Do you think that is potentially a strong possibility that that will happen? Sure.

I mean, anything is a possibility. I don't think that to be honest with you, we had a show on my show talking about that. I don't think it is riots. I think it will be coming from the right, to be honest with you. I think it will be something to make it appear as if the left is doing it, because I'm to be honest with you, most people like just about their life. I mean, just not, you know, the big talk this on Instagram and Twitter and, you know, they say, oh, I'm be ready, I'm ready.

But these are the same people that won't even stand up to the supervisor, you know, in demand. A longer break. And let's just keep it one hundred. It's a lot to say behind the scenes. We want to really come down to it, people say, about their life. If Trump supporters want to follow somebody, go follow womanhood. Like that other video we saw when they went to the Hood and Fort Worth and tried it, they got ran out the hood.

I think people know who they can intimidate and who they cannot.

And I think that's always been in the mindset of any war or any war. You knows who they can play with and who they can't. So sure, you know, there might be unrest just to play into the narrative. I don't think that it will be the left of stars that I really don't. And I think for the most part, this idea that, oh, everybody in the country just about to go crazy and it's about to be some civil war.

We we I see that shirt a lot that says I'm not my ancestors. And I take offense to that a lot. Me, too. Because I know the idea of saying, you know, I'm not going to play dead on this and that, but what the ancestors went through, we ain't like that. We're not built to, you know what I'm saying? Like, let's just keep it real. You're not built to jump out of ship.

You're not there were there were enslaved folks that vote in and had rebellion, you know, built like that. Most of y'all will take your ass to work at eight o'clock and be typing on your own. You'll follow on Instagram when we tell people to walk off the job. But just one day they don't do it. We can't even get folks to boycott for longer than twenty four hours. So the idea that it's going to be this major, you know, across the country, civil war type thing, I just don't think we're built like that.

Will there be could there be violence? Absolutely. But most of all, it's going to be on the job, Angela. I mean, let's just keep it really going to be on a job. But they've got to pay their bills on time. Yeah.

You know, applies apply said something interesting. He said it and I'm paraphrasing here, they will not start taking black people serious until we go out there and start exercising our vote the right way. You know, I don't know how I feel about that only because black people have been blindly supporting Dems forever. So. So what do you think it will take for them to really start taking us serious when it comes to being a voting voting bloc?

You know, this is a question that I've really been struggling with. You know, the thing that happened with Trump is them really having to pay attention. Like right now, you know, we've been telling them about black men and the importance of black men, black men, black men, black men. And now the eleventh hour. Oh, hey, what about black men? You know, but I was talking about that way before this election.

And I think each and every time well, I know each and every time we get close to moving forward and let's say Biden wins, there is a certain people don't have to like this. And this is, again, not an endorsement of Trump. These are just facts. When Biden wins, if he wins, there's a certain sector in the operative section of politics that feels OK no matter what, will always still win. They don't do the smart thing and say, hey, we came close and I can't afford to get this close again.

Going back to the relationship analogy, if I take you back, it doesn't mean that you get comfortable. It means you really supposed to be on top of your game. That's right.

So I feel until there's a big loss, loss enough for people to really hurt, for the middle class to really hurt like the lower and lower class and the poor. I don't know if we'll ever, you know, get to that place until that happens. America and humans are very self-involved. They're self-centered, just like they say, oh, Wayne is doing because he's self-centered. What are you self-centered to most people? What do we say? Self-preservation is first.

So until we get out of that space and start thinking about others and what others may possibly be going through and not even just thinking about empathy is not enough. You have to hurt sometimes like something has to hurt you enough to make you sick. I'll stand for the crime bill because of people that I know that did time, not because I watched when they see a great movie, but until you write in somebody in solitary confinement, you put money on somebody's book to you see how it mentally damages them after doing that time in prison.

And I'm talking about first time nonviolent offenders. I'm not talking about everything with the crime bill. My talk about violence and I'm at those individuals. I'm specifically talking about first time nonviolent offenders until it hurts you and you own the phone in tears like I was last night with the same person. You see things differently.

I got one more question for, you know, we had Jim Clyburn on and he said in the first hundred hours of Biden being in office for 100 hours, he wants them to form a committee to see the impact of the eighty six mandatory minimum sentencing, as well as the 94 crime bill. And once we know what the damage is, then Biden can atone for it. What would you like to see this administration do if they get in? Biden, Harris, what would you like to see them doing the first hundred days?

I would absolutely like to see that. I wish Jim Clyburn would have said that when he was endorsing him instead of just we know Joe and Joe know us. See, that's the kind of thing that in politics that really gets that bothers me. Charlemagne's because they hold these nuggets that I feel will be so critical that would have made a difference so that we wouldn't have had to argue this last year about Joe Biden had that been said in the beginning. But we played these.

But this is no shade on him. I'm just giving you a feel. We play these political games and say, well, let's not say that right now. Let's just get a man in there. Let's say it later. We'll see. What happens is you've had us arguing like hell over the crime bill when that should have been said out the gate so that it wouldn't be so hard now. That's right. So, of course, I want to see that.

Of course, I want to see immediate accountability, not this game of whatever it is. I want to see economics. I want to see a lot of my Bloomberg's policies that he pushed about adopting some of his policies. He talked about black businesses. They never talk about black business at all. Like it's almost like they they just we don't even exist. You know, I want to see that happen. I want to see health care reform. I also want to see more opportunities on the state and local level.

There's a lot of I really want to see the message and just change. When you talk about and I'll say this and shut up. When you talk about state level county Medicare and basic like Medicare for all, Harris County has a county medical plan. I broke my ankle last year, this time one day in the hospital without even getting my ankle fixed. I had a twenty seven thousand dollar bill, ran for one day and I got the receipts to prove that wasn't even fixing the ankle.

Like, that's real, like going on in people's lives. Why don't they talk about that? Why don't you talk about how those types of policies this actually when you talk about Medicare for all, when we start talking about that, then it makes sense to people. That's what this Democrat Party needs to do from from Jim Clyburn. I decided that Biden is about these leaders who have been in office 30, 40, 50 years. They know the right thing to do.

They just need to start doing it. What?

Her name is Taslim Figueiro. She's the host of this great Shot No Chaser podcast on Black Effec.

I hope it works. Always a pleasant chase. I hope I'll be out working and celebrating in the next week. Yes, man. May have some of that tequila on your back. I got to drink somebody and tell them what you told.

So they go tell them where to find you so they can argue with you if they want to.

Yes, please. Jesslyn figural on all things tdl why and if our are Instagram, Twitter and get on Twitter. Yo, we got to start pushing people to Twitter because that's where the information is. That's what politicians pay to pay attention to. They don't pay attention to Instagram. It's funny because when Wayne put out the tweet saying he supported Trump, so on my Instagram said, oh, he didn't say it on Instagram, he said it on Twitter because Twitter is where it matters.

IGY is anti information. It doesn't allow you to share links on. The videos and pictures is the reason for that, get on Twitter, get involved in Twitter and let's start having this conversation. I just thank you so much.

Listen up is Justin. All the guys got the rumor report. Guys, guys in the. It's a room over for the Breakfast Club. Well, yesterday on the talk, Ive made an announcement and said that she is leaving.

It's been a crazy year, obviously, for all of us. And I've been so grateful that I'm able to stay here in London and do the show. But I can't see for me the foreseeable future of traveling back at the moment and have decided that at the end of December, this will probably be my last time on the show in this capacity as a host.

Oh, they're going to miss her. I get it, though.

She you know, she she got it. She said herself up with she ain't got to worry about it and she don't want to she don't know she Todd is doing like night. You know, she's in London.

She could do the zoo. She doesn't want to move back after December. So here's what else she had to say on another lock down from Thursday.

And that's another reason why I like obviously staying home has been such a blessing because my husband and I got to know each other in a different way, a beautiful way. So I want to be closer to him. I want to concentrate on expanding our family, being with my family. And I want to hug you.

I love the man I respected. You have to know when it's time for you to walk away from situations. Plus, it's got to be difficult living in London with still keeping your finger on the pulse of things that are going on in America, especially right now.

Right, so, yeah, and it probably was easier for her doing it virtually, but then, you know, when it's time for her to have to get back in the studio, she's like not leaving here and being with my family.

All right. Khateeb has legally dropped her divorce proceedings against offsets. So it looks like they are really trying to work things out with we baby.

Yeah.

I mean, that's that's the that's the horrible thing about, you know, being in a relationship in the public like that is everything that you do is it goes out to the world, you know, I mean, this is something that's going on between them. You know, it could have been an argument, could have been anything. But the first thing people say is he cheated.

He did this and she was like, no, we we just had a bad argument, but I'm just glad they working it out.

You got to put the fear of God in your man sometime, whether you filed for divorce or still on him, OK?

Yes, girl, you got to put the fear of God and your man. Sometimes when I'm speaking from a man's perspective, I mean, it works for us, you know what I mean?

When a woman puts the fear of God and us in that way, but not the best way, not just put in the fear of God, we mean it. It ain't like I'm just going to scare him at the time.

I'm talking about for those of us, those who are just trying to scare us. OK, and by the way, Andy, you'd much rather have a pistol in your face as opposed to the divorce papers getting fired. OK, preacherman, you're right.

It breaks as a woman, though, I have never I've never felt like and I've never heard it in my home girl say I'm just going to threaten to leave him.

I'm not really. I just want to scare him.

Not usually. I mean, it it ain't like you just doing it to scare them. You mean if you want to try to scare somebody, you really think and this is what I'm going do.

I've got all right now I love you. I'm not even a woman, but I got home girls and I've heard I heard that before. I absolutely begging.

You know what? I was getting a divorce papers. What? I'm scared of a pistol. I know. Would you let me speak for you? I got this.

All right. I'm Angela. Yeah. And that's your roommate report. All right. Thank you. Miss you. Now, usually we do Donkey of the Day next. But Charlamagne, you got your breggin. Check it.

Well, it's Election Day. You know what I'm saying? Today is Election Day. And, you know, it's a lot of different elections going on all around the country. And I'm in my my home state of South Carolina. Jamie Harrison versus Lindsay Graham is a big one. So Jamie Harrison, we'll be checking in with us.

All right. We'll get into that next. Keep it locked. This The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody.

Is D.J. Inva? Actually, Charlamagne, the guy we are the Breakfast Club on Election Day. We have a special guest on the line, Stacey Abrams.

Good morning, Stacey. Morning. Thank you guys for having me. I got so many questions for you this morning. No. Number one, when did Georgia become a battleground state?

One of the ways that we were we were possibly a battleground state in twenty sixteen, but we know in twenty eighteen when we were able to finally invest in black and brown voters and discouraged voters and low propensity voters, we became a battleground state. It was a one point four percent race. And so this year was the first year we had a presidential nominee who was willing to put the money in. It didn't hurt that we have two U.S. Senate races, John Osthoff and Raphael Warnock, who spent a lot of money to make sure that voters understand what's at stake and that their voice matters.

We have you to thank for Georgia becoming a battleground state.

I've been doing a lot of work, but I can't take all the credit we've had. A lot of folks have been trying to make this happen that Stacey is the expert. I got some questions for you of what's happening today. So let's just say you're not registered to vote. And so you think that you can't vote. Is there a way that you can register to vote today?

Oh, depends on the state you live in. If you go to I will vote dotcom. It will give you information about whether you're in a state where they will allow same day registration. We know, for example, in North Carolina, you can register the same day. I think the same thing is true in Michigan. So go to I will vote dotcom, put in your zip code, put in your information and it will tell you how you can register to vote if you can.

Georgia, unfortunately, does not allow same day registration, but there are a lot of states that are moving in that direction. So make sure you take advantage of it.

Not today is the last day. Now, how important is voting for black and brown voters? Because a lot of people out there say my vote doesn't matter. It's just one vote or I'm going to state that always goes Democratic. I'm going to state that always goes Republican. So what do you say to those people out there? I live in Georgia.

You can't count anybody out. So here are three things to know. Number one, voting isn't magic, it's medicine. And so if we want to cure the ills, if we want to cure the diseases that we see in our country, racism, systemic inequality, police brutality, income inequality, health care, all of those things get changed by voting in Georgia. In twenty eighteen, we had a congressional person, a congressional candidate who lost by 433 votes.

So close races change the future. And we know if we can take the Senate and hold the House and win the presidency. That's the game changer. That is something we haven't seen since 2008. So no one think about voting not as magic. You're not can get everything you want. Voting, but you get more of what you need, and the more we do it, the healthier we get number to your vote counts, because if it didn't matter so much, they would not be spending millions of dollars to stop you.

And they know they can count just like we can. And for the first time in American history, we've reached an inflection point where there are more of us than there are of them. When I say more of us, I mean more black and brown folks who can actually change the outcome of elections. That hasn't always been true for most of my life. We have been nice to have, but not necessary to have now where necessary. And if we show up and use our power, we win.

Number three, if this is a close race, which we expect, it's going to be those marginal votes that nobody expected that actually change the world. So your vote could be the one that tips the difference one way or the other. And whether you vote or not, you're making a choice. If you don't show up, they're going to decide. They're going to assume that you chose what we've got. And if you're good with that, OK, but if you want something different, if you want something better, if you want a president who actually thinks that we shouldn't die from covid-19 so that he can, you know, pretend if you want to make certain that we have a plan to stop chokeholds from killing black folks and brown folks, if you want there to be a difference, you not only need to vote for the president to go all the way down the ballot.

I heard the earth going. I was on the line and everything said the closer you get to the bottom of the ballot, the closer you get to home. So don't just think that the world is solved with the presidency. We got to vote for DE's judges, mayors, state legislators. So make sure you vote the entire ballot. That's like doing a scratch off ticket and only scratching off a couple of numbers, scratch off the whole thing so you can make sure you win the political lottery.

Nastasi But if you show up and they say you're not registered, so again, I will vote Dotcom to make sure that you're in a state where you can do same day registration. But if you think you're registered, go anyway. What can happen is if you have any problems, call 866 our vote, 866 our vote. Only two things you need to remember today. Besides going to vote, I will vote dotcom at 866 our vote. Our vote is populated by civil rights attorneys whose only job today is to help you vote so they can help you understand if it's your issue or if it's their issue.

And one of the ways voter suppression works by taking people off the rolls who should not have been removed. If you call 866 our vote, they can help you get your registration issues resolved if possible, and they can tell you what you need to do. But no matter what happens, do not get out of one thing.

Do you think Fair Fight has done his job? You know, what role do you think Fair Fight played in ensuring that the voting process is fair all across the country today?

Mahola Stacey will answer that when we come back. Right. Stacey Abrams is here. Today is Election Day, so don't move. We got more with Stacey Abrams. When we come back is The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. Morning, everybody. Is D.J. Envy, Angela? Yea, Charlemagne, the guy we are the Breakfast Club on Election Day. We have a special guest on the line, Stacey Abrams. Good morning, Stacey.

Morning. Thank you guys for having me. Man, I got so many questions for you this morning. No. Number one, when did Georgia become a battleground state?

One of the ways that we were we were possibly a battleground state in 2016, but we know in twenty eighteen, when we were able to finally invest in black and brown voters and discouraged voters and low propensity voters, we became a battleground state.

It didn't hurt that we have two U.S. Senate races, John Osthoff and Raphael Warnock, who spent a lot of money to make sure that voters understand what's at stake and that their voice matters.

So we have you to thank for Georgia becoming a battleground state.

Georgia, unfortunately, does not allow same day registration, but there are a lot of states that are moving in that direction. So make sure you take advantage of it. Now, today is the last day now.

How important is voting for black and brown voters? Because a lot of people out there say, oh, my vote doesn't matter. It's just one vote or I'm going to state that always goes Democratic. I'm going to state that always goes Republican. So what do you say to those people out there?

Quality health care, all of those things get changed by voting in Georgia in twenty eighteen, we had a congressional person, a congressional candidate who lost by 433 votes.

So close races change the future. And we know if we can take the Senate and hold the House and win the presidency. That's the game changer. That is something we haven't seen since 2008. So no one think about voting not as magic. You're not can get everything you want by voting, but you get more of what you need in. The more we do it, the healthier we get. Number to your vote counts, because if it didn't matter so much, they would not be spending millions of dollars to stop you.

And they know they can count just like we can. And for the first time in American history, we've reached an inflection point where there are more of us than there are of them.

Do you think Fair Fight has done his job? You know, what role do you think Fair Fight played in ensuring that the voting process is fair all across the country today?

Mahola Stacey will answer that when we come back. All right. Stacey Abrams is here. Today is Election Day, so don't move. We got more with Stacey Abrams. When we come back is The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody.

Is D.J. Envy Angeles. Charlamagne, the guy we are The Breakfast Club. We're being joined by Stacey Abrams this morning. Solomon, you had a question?

Yeah, we're talking about Stacey's initiative, Fair Fight. And I was just wondering, you know, what role has been played in ensuring that the voting process is fair all across the country today.

So when I launched her fight in twenty eighteen, my first mission was to lift up the issue of voter suppression, to talk about it out loud, because we've known about it for years, but no one really was willing to say it aloud because we were afraid it would scare people. What I want people to understand is whether we said it or not, it was going to affect us. We might as well talk about it. It's a number one.

I think we have had a robust conversation over the last two years about voter suppression. Number two, in the state of Georgia, we were able to change some of the worst laws related to voter suppression, making sure that exact match no longer holds black and brown voters hostage, but also making sure that if you make a mistake on your absentee ballot, you now have time to fix it. They have to tell you there was a mistake and they've got to let you fix it.

But across the country, starting in August of twenty nineteen, we have been in 20 battleground states. We're there to help make sure that voters got restored to the rolls. And Andy Beshear became the governor of Kentucky when the Republican governor tried to purge one hundred and forty five thousand. We were down in Louisiana when John Edwards needed black voters who are facing voter suppression. And we were able to make sure they could make it through those lines and get to vote.

And he was restored. We were in Wisconsin in April making sure that voters got the right to vote even in the midst of covid. And we have been working across the country helping shore up through litigation, legislation and advocacy. And the one number I'll use uses this in January of twenty, twenty, only thirty four states allowed you to vote by mail with no excuse. As of today, it's 45 states, that means that in 45 states, out of 50 people have the right and have had the right to vote absentee.

That is huge because in the midst of a pandemic, it was the safest way to vote. And I want to remind everyone, if you have an absentee ballot, take it directly to your elections office, your Dropbox, get it in. Do not hand it to the post office. Today's last call, drop it in yourself and make sure that you get your ballot turned in your door winner for tonight, because some people say we might possibly know.

What are your thoughts on that?

So what we used, what we're used to are predictions. We don't ever know the actual answer on election night because states take time to count. We will likely have predictions, but hopefully the predictions will be based on the best information. And my hope is that we won't hear anything until people know something. It is better for us to get an answer that is slow and right than fast and wrong. And if we take the time to count all of these absentee ballots, more than 100 million people voted early and it takes more time to count paper ballots.

We need to be patient. We don't need to know the answer when we go to bed. What we need to know when we go to bed tonight is that every American who wanted to vote got a chance to vote. We'll get the answer. But I'd rather have the answer be right than have an answer that's unclear and that leads to chaos.

Stacey, do you think the Democratic model as currently constructed is sustainable, meaning black men and black women are the largest group of voters for Democrats, but is always show up for them? But a lot of black people feel like they don't show up for us. How much longer can that work for Democrats if it works today?

Well, I frame it slightly differently. Yes, black voters have been the most loyal contingency of the Democratic Party, and we are being joined by more and more young people, by more and more people of color, Latino, Asian American, Pacific Islander, Native American. We're being joined by white voters who realize that the Republican model does not help them progress. But we also have to remember our numbers are different. For so long, we voted in a party where we were not only the minority in the population, we're the minority in the party.

But when you add together all of the rising American electorate, we now have the ability to actually set the agenda if we show up. And that's the big piece. I think it's missing in this conversation. 20 years ago, there weren't enough of us to absolutely guarantee outcomes. Now there are if we actually voted our power, we have the ability to not only change the direction of the Democratic Party, we can change the direction of the nation, but we've got to recognize that it's a dual responsibility.

We need those. We need folks to pour into us, but we've got to pour into ourselves and make sure that we vote our power up and down the ballot, because it's not just about who wins the presidency, it's about who wins every single seat and makes every single law.

So after we do that, how do we make clear? I guess I guess what do we do next? Like, do we make clear demands and to tell them what we want? Absolutely.

So I talk about the way we protest in the streets to demand what we want. We protest at the ballot box to get who we need and then we protest in the halls of power to hold them accountable. But the only job where you get hired and the people leave for two to four years and expect you to just do what you're supposed to do. If we don't hold people accountable, why would we think they're going to do what we need them to do?

Yes. Well, Stacy, thank you so much for joining us. I know it's a super busy day. You have all these live TV hits, but we do always appreciate you for checking in and keeping us informed. Oh, we did already. She has a live here in five minutes. I got one more thing. You are a VP hopeful people said Stacy was campaigning for the job. Was that ever the case? And if so, how do you feel today?

I never campaigned for the job. I answered questions and apparently being honest is not supposed to happen. I don't believe in denying my ambition because I'm not just speaking for myself. I'm speaking for every black and brown girl who's ever wanted more. And people I can't assume people will give me the benefit of the doubt. I've got to give myself the platform. If you ask me a question, I'm going to give you an answer. And I've always tried to be candid and I was candid.

And let's remember, I got the same question starting in March of twenty nineteen. The only person who was asked that question over and over again for 18 months. And my answer never changed. It's just people started paying attention. All right.

Well, Stacy, we appreciate you for checking in. Thank you so much.

Thank you, guys. 866 our vote. Get it done. All right. We got room is on the way. Yes. And bad news for a my. She has been hospitalized and has to leave Dancing with the Stars. We'll tell you what she had to say. All right. We'll get to that. Next is The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

The Breakfast Club. This is the room, a report with Angelina. Breakfast Club, listen up. Yeah, well, Timberland posted a picture of Jodeci on the cover of Time magazine and said this group changed. Ourimbah will soon see hashtag versus Oh, would you like to see Jodeci better? I love Jodeci.

I mean, Jodeci could battle any of the groups. I mean, Andrew Hills of the world, the jagged edges. I mean, my jaggedness did one 12, one 12.

So I guess the only one who did I just say other didn't want to jagadish who I you said Ruhal but yeah Jodeci Drew here would be a good one.

No one. Why not see how so many. I mean I'm a Jodeci guy all day. I mean the Jodeci played in my crib on a regular daily weekly whatever. But I think Jose Dru Hill wouldn't be bad.

I saw people saying boys to men.

I saw a lot of nice boys. The men didn't have those. I don't think boys men had those cultural anthems like Jodeci had boys Minhad big commercial records it well well into the road.

Be commercial record. And, you know, you know, you might be right.

I don't know who could really battle Jodeci. Did you right around the end of the road now is like riding with the windshield wipers going, it ain't even raining, you know what I mean?

Like, I mean, there's nobody on the door. The group of Blackstreet on New Edition.

And, you know, I mean, that will be Drew here would be the only thing that makes sense to me against Jodeci. All right. Well, Jean, I was hospitalized. She has a thyroid condition and she was forced to leave Dancing with the Stars.

She said this, I am absolutely devastated that my journey on Dancing with the Stars has done this link. I found out that I have a job abscess where my tonsils and my throat had gotten so infected that it started permeating to the rest of the areas by my neck and my ears that I had to get emergency surgery, which is why I'm here now. Everything went great, went away, and one more day your throat closed up.

Now, her dance partner also put out a video message to saying that they were devastated by the news so she won't be able to compete this season because of these health concerns. Fortunately, it seems like she'll be OK.

So I'm glad she caught that throat condition. And I wonder what causes that. And I hope we don't find out, Jean.

Oh, you mean you're glad you caught it early? You said you might because you had a great year. I'm glad she caught her throat condition early so she could do something about it. And I just wonder what caused that. I hope we don't find out any more. I was walking around the house doing Jeezy's ad libs, and you know that that ruptured something in her throat.

All right. Now, Chrissy Teigen has gotten a tattoo and that's honoring her late son, Jack. So, you know, fortunately for her, I would have been at third baby. That baby died it just 20 weeks. She now has made sure he'll always be remembered with a tattoo of his name on her wrist. So a lot of people actually, after she posted that, a lot of her fans started posting photos of tattoos. They got to honor loved ones that they lost as well.

Wow. Yes.

In the legends. All right. Monique said that Whoopi Goldberg told her to get rid of her husband, and here's what she had to say.

Yes, she was talking on outloud with Claudia Jordan on FoxxHole.

As she said to me, it's your husband. You got to get rid of your husband. And I said, will be my husband negotiated the biggest deals I've had in my career, along with our attorney, Ricky Anderson, two black men, as she went dead silent. And then she said, you better stop worrying about that little girl coming behind you and you better worry about you. And at that moment, I knew Whoopi Goldberg wasn't worried about me because I'm the little girl coming behind her.

So you can't go against this machine and because your husband is a proud black man and he wants answers that they cannot give, you need to let him go. That's what that black woman was saying to me.

In addition to that, she says that she does not regret the drama that she had with Lee Daniels, Tyler Perry and Oprah. She said just keep on speaking the truth and fighting for a family as long as she has breath in her body. And she said the whole ordeal did cost her and her family millions of dollars and generational money. But she wants to make sure the matter does get resolved. She's not going to stop until it does.

You know, I had a friend tell me yesterday that Monique is absolutely right in regards to everything she says about Oprah, Tyler Perry and Lee Daniels. Like you, they said Mo'Nique told them from the beginning she wouldn't be able to travel for that movie and they knew that. I don't know what's true and what's not. I'm just saying I'm just giving a different perspective. That's what somebody said to me yesterday.

All right. Well, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your rumor report. All right. Well, let me ask you guys a question, ma'am. Jodeci, what about TLC or SWG?

What about them versus battle that. No, no, no, I would like to see them against SWG.

I think that's a good matchup. Maybe get a lot of publicity and we wouldn't be bad. That actually wouldn't be bad. Jodeci.

I would like that because I'm big fans of both of them. I don't know who I would pick. Tony, Tony.

Tony, TLC. Oh Jodeci. Versus versus Tony, Tony, Tony, I'm here for that, I'm here for Jodeci versus Tony, Tony, Tony up even Potosí versus SWG.

I like I don't know if I like the who do you have.

I got you. I like that because they both had freekeh songs, you know what I'm saying. And it'd be like a dope at home date night type of verses battle. I like that. I like Jodeci verses. Tony, Tony. Tony you got. I got Tony. Tony, Tony bro. That's tough bro.

Tony a feel good it never rains is becoming one of my favorites. Tell me are you freaking out our anniversary.

Whatever you want.

Yeah buddy. It's tough man. It's tough because Tony, Tony, Tony got to get along with each other again because y'all messed up that relationship. Yeah, sure. That's a tough one.

I still like Jodeci, Dru Hill, Beneteau, but I like the Jodeci. Tony, Tony, Tony Mancia.

All right. Well, shout to revolt. We'll see you guys tomorrow, man. Everybody get out there and vote. People's Choice Mix's up next is The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same.

What is D.J. Envy? The homecoming of historically black colleges and universities is a celebration of black excellence. But with homecoming canceled this year, we're having our own party HPC you homecoming party on the yard presented by McDonald's. There's going to be a McDonald's black and positively golden mosaic featured at the event because McDonald's is all about empowering the next generation of black leaders.

So upload your photo at BHP, GHQ dot com to be a part of it again, to be a PG BCU to come and watch HKU Homecoming Party on the yard Thursday, November 12th, presented by McDonald's and hosted by me.

Good morning everybody. Is D.J. Envy Angela Ye shall I mean the guy we are the Breakfast Club now shot the black men Vogue. Now Angela and I are doing a block party to the polls.

Yes. And that's going to be a seven hour celebrity deejay election day next year. I'm actually kicking things off at twelve thirty with Angela Rye in conversation and then DMV. You're the first deejay up for Rockin until like around seven thirty tonight.

I think as we're helping people who are going to the polls today or have already voted, it's a block party at the polls. So I'm excited for that. Also today, because it is an important day. It is Election Day, you know, been launched yesterday, the Black Information Network, it's 24/7. Comprehensive National Audio News Service is dedicated to an objective, accurate and trusted source of continual news coverage, black voices, black perspective that launched yesterday.

But today in particular, they'll be doing all kinds of coverage. And that news coverage for election night will start at 7:00 p.m. So they're going to be providing updates as the polls are closing, as election tallies are reported nationwide. And you can listen to that on WWII. Irlam Sixteen hundred.

Yeah, so much good election coverage you can catch tonight, man. Angela Rye and Andrew Guillam, they're doing something tonight as well on a BET.com and you to call Black America votes for twenty twenty. And tonight I will be live with my guy, my South Carolina brethren, Stephen Colbert. He has an election night special. It's called Twenty Twenty Democracy's Last Lasting Building Back America. Great Again Better. And that's tonight at 11:00 p.m. on Showtime. So I'll be on the air with my man Stephen Colbert, starting at 11:00 p.m. tonight, live on Showtime for election night coverage.

And we appreciate anybody that is out there in the streets helping as well. I'm going to be giving away free coffee from my coffee company, so I'll be visiting some of the polls today. Coffee uplifts people cup. So if you see us, you know, shout us out. Brooklyn roasting and coffee uplifts people. All right. Well, when we come back, we got the positive note is the Breakfast Club.

Good morning. Everybody is D.J. Envy, Angela Yee Charlamagne, the guy we are, the Breakfast Club, we had a lot of people stopping through this morning, so we just got to say thank you to a couple. So all of them actually Ed Gordon for stopping through. Absolutely.

Ed Gordon, always a pleasure. He's he's he's seen a few of these rodeos before. None quite like this, but he's seen quite a few. So he's also he's always welcome to has checked in as well.

Taslim figures and Figueiro. Yeah. Make sure you check out this great shot No Chaser podcast on the Black Effect I Heart Radio Podcast Network available wherever you listen to podcast Stacey Abrams. She checked in as well.

Solutia Stacey Abrams was going to got to talk to Stacey a little longer.

I got a couple more questions for states and also super busy day for her, I guess because of what she does and voter suppression and fair fight. I know it's been a crazy time.

And also from South Carolina, Jamie Harris and checked in as well, Jamie Harrison.

He's running for Senate in South Carolina. Man, please make sure you are going to vote for Jamie Harris and let's get Lindsay Ladybug Graham about it.

All right. Well, you got a positive note? Well, I don't really have a positive note is just more of a statement. I said it earlier in the show, and I want to expound on it just a little bit like we have no idea what the world is going to look like after the day. But just know whatever happens, it's all God's will. As my late, great friend Jasmine Jazz Waters used to say, trust God to God, OK, if Republicans win black people, we got work to do.

If Democrats win black people, we got work to do. The illusion of America has been revealed to everybody this year and this system was considered normal, has never worked for all of us. So tonight, regardless of who wins, is really nothing to celebrate. Trump administration wins. I'm going to keep community building, job creating and dealing with politics on a local level and supporting those who choose to engage, you know, with that administration on our behalf and, you know, vice versa.

If Democrats win, you know, nearly 100 million people have voted already. Who knows what that walk is going to be like today. But once again, regardless of what happens tonight, it's nothing to celebrate. So I guess the moral of the story is simply black people.

We got work to do with competition, you know, have you ever wondered if Will Ferrell likes to wear his I voted sticker? I'll even wear it until the next day. Or what makes Stephanie Rule so passionate about voting? It's about what kind of country, what kind of world you want to live in.
