Speaker 1 (00:00):
Wake that ass up in the morning.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
The breakfast club Morning, Everybody's dj n V Jess hilarious,
charlamage the guy we all the breakfast club.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
Laurla Ross is feeling in for Jess.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
And if you're just joining us, we're talking about some
comments that applies made over the weekend.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
Let's listen.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
But everybody who expected the ones who looked like me
and the men who look like me, who quick the
she calma want my vote?
Speaker 4 (00:24):
She needs to explain herself to me what she gonna
do for the black people.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Listen, stop asking the mother black woman to explain herself
to y'all. If y'all ain't willing to ask you mother,
white man, did mother explain himself? Y'all y'all cool with
the white man out explaining herself.
Speaker 4 (00:37):
She want my vote? She needs to explain herself.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
She ain't mother asking the white man explain his mother. Well,
she she been in the office already three and a
half year. Why she ain't do all the things she
said she was gonna do because she ain't the mother president.
That's why when you go to the most mic, no,
that lady that's the manager, she won't get to do it.
Speaker 5 (00:52):
She want to do. She might can give you some prise,
but she.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Can't change the price of that mother for quarter pounds
up though that ain't that mother lay the White House.
Speaker 5 (00:58):
She just like the mouth you following. But y'all know
that most of y'all, but y'all just won't sum the mother.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
So we're asking eight hundred five eight five one oh
five one, what are your thoughts? Let's start with you, Lauren,
what do you think?
Speaker 6 (01:10):
I feel like on my timeline on Twitter, from what
I see, people are asking questions, people are questioning, Like
the biggest thing I see is like people asking where
was she? Why didn't she do this? And the stuff
about the black men. But a lot of that those
questions and those things have been like debunked or like
people put more information.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
But shouldn't people ask she's a politician, but she represents
us and wants to represent us. So no matter if
she's white, black, green, yellow man woman, if somebody's representing us,
wouldn't you want to ask them as much as possible
to feel comfortable with them.
Speaker 7 (01:39):
That's the reason for the campaign season. That's exactly what's
supposed to be done.
Speaker 6 (01:42):
I just think because she's the new kid at school,
like it seems like it's a lot more her way.
But I think that that's just what comes with it.
And I just also think too people are sensitive when
it comes to black women. Some people are and rightful,
she's a politician, right we did it.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
We did it to Biden, we did it to Barack,
we did it to Donald Trump, we do it to
any politician. We should be doing it mored percent.
Speaker 6 (02:02):
But I think no matter what, this whole campaign season
and even when she wins, there's always going to be
some sensitivity from certain people because she's a woman and
she's a black woman. So I think that's where Applies
is leaning in, like he's jumping in on that state.
But you suppose to ask questions of people. It just
feels like it's all break, like it's all coming down
on her once because she's the new kid at school.
Speaker 8 (02:20):
Applies is absolutely positively wrong. If people are asking questions,
that's great. I don't even know why Applies is making
this a black woman versus black man thing. This isn't
about black men and black women. It's about elected officials
and potential voters. The whole point of campaign season is
for candidates to go out there and explain to the
American people why they should be the one in charge
of this country. Votes are earned, not given, and they
(02:42):
are earned through you going out there and explaining yourself.
Vice President Kamala Harris has to go out there and
explain her agenda and why she's the person for the job.
Former President Donald Trump I have to go out there
and explain his agenda and why he should be the
person to get his job again. You know, I get
the job again. I don't understand Plies or any black
person for that matter, telling black people to just settle,
(03:02):
just accept whatever the candidate is giving. You don't ask
any questions.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
But they've been doing it.
Speaker 9 (03:06):
They don't have to anything to us.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
They've been doing for a long time, even with with Biden.
When we ask questions Biden, well it's the best of
two evils, you know what I mean, You got to
pick one.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
But no, if you have questions, people should be able
to ask. That's the point of a politician, right.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
They're supposed to represent us, represent our district, represent our country.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Shouldn't we ask forget?
Speaker 8 (03:24):
And by the way, they should be explaining without us asking.
That's the whole point of them doing these press conferences
in the meeting. The same way these politicians have meetings
for their donors, and they have rallies and press conferences
explaining themselves and their agendas to certain groups, they should
have to explain themselves to black people.
Speaker 9 (03:38):
The same way applies. Is a billion percent wrong.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
But let's let's go to the phone line.
Speaker 10 (03:43):
Hello, who's this Jefferson?
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Jefferson, gome on to where you call it from.
Speaker 10 (03:49):
I'm calling from nine one four Westchester, Yonkers, White Plains, Greenberg,
New York.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Right, did you go to the Locks concert this weekend?
The Locks was performing in New York. They brought out
ll See and brought out Ghosts.
Speaker 10 (04:03):
I actually didn't go, but I heard about it. I
wish I did go out out the Locks.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
So absolutely, jeffs. What's your thoughts? What's your opinion?
Speaker 10 (04:12):
All right? So I'm a professional New Yorker, Right, I
don't know what Plaza was really saying. I wish he
could really communicate. He's a grown man, he's over forty.
He should communicate better. But everyone thinking Kamala doesn't have
to answer. We're not. Even if I'm not voting for
her or voting for her, you still got to explain
yourself on this type of level of job. I know
we you know, I know we want to support off
(04:33):
of off of the complexion, but like we need to
know that you're a good representation. Look, we had Obama.
He was a good representation for us, a good entryway, good,
a good marker. Kamala do the same. A lot of us,
not just not just melanated people, but a lot of
humans are just looking at her for just like a direction.
(04:54):
Just show us that you know what you're doing so
we could really pump you how you want us to
pump you out here?
Speaker 8 (05:00):
She's applying for a job. That what applies the saying
is like going to a room when you get requested
for a job interview. Don't and and don't say nothing.
I'm gonna just sit there and looking. I'm goosed to
just sit there and look at you.
Speaker 6 (05:12):
They took it easy on her, then that would be
a whole issue too. Like if people didn't access of
her because she is a black woman, it would be
like y'all giving her past because of color. The same
why people upset when people say they voting for her
because of her color?
Speaker 9 (05:23):
Hello, who's this?
Speaker 11 (05:25):
This is kill kid?
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Good morning, What are your thoughts to apply said.
Speaker 12 (05:30):
I feel like I agree with him, like truly, I
feel like people really don't want a black woman in
the office, and that's the main problem. Like y'all put
Trump in there with a person that had no experience
on political reasons. But when a black woman wanted to
come in there and have experience and did it for us,
nobody want to give her a chance. Everybody shine her off.
Speaker 8 (05:52):
So you think Donald Trump didn't have to explain himself.
You think Donald Trump didn't have to go out there
to the American people and campaign. You didn't think Donald
Trump was so all of those lies Donald Trump was
telling folks and all of these things he was saying
he was going to do. You don't think that wasn't
explaining himself.
Speaker 12 (06:07):
No, Donald Trump, I feel like it was an ad
in an act that everybody loved at the time, and
it act for what. I don't know, but it was
an ad and it's.
Speaker 8 (06:15):
Like it was it was an act, but he was
still explaining himself. That is what campaigning is. When you
see these people on TV and they're having these rallies
and these press conferences and these interviews.
Speaker 12 (06:27):
Huh, if you're at this for something. If you're at
in I'm being a character. I'm not myself. So how
I'm going to give a person a true effanation on
what I'm doing. I don't really know why I'm doing.
It's an ad, it's not the truth, it's not what
I'm truly trying to give.
Speaker 9 (06:41):
Once again, did once again.
Speaker 8 (06:43):
When you see when you see people having these rallies,
these elected officials having these rallies, these press conferences, these interviews,
they are explaining themselves to the American people. Vice President
Kamala Harris and Tim wallas A doing an interview with
NBC News this week because they're going to explain the
self to the American people. Just like last week at
the DNC when she gave her speech, she was explaining
(07:03):
herself to the American people.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
And she should, like, she should explain this.
Speaker 9 (07:07):
They all should. Yes.
Speaker 8 (07:08):
Just to say an elected official shouldn't have to explain
himself is insane to me.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
It sounds crazy.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
I look at it like, as we're hiring them for
a job, and you have to make me want to hire,
You have to make me want to vote, You have
to tell me your policies, You gotta tell me what
your plans are, and if I don't like it, I
don't have to hire you. I'm not hiring you because
of anything, but what what what's my best interest? And
you gotta explain that.
Speaker 6 (07:29):
To calm down though now because she's starting to address
more things like people just really want questions. I think
it will because it'll be repeated. People will get tired
of here, and I'm trying to tell you it's just new.
That's why it feels like it's hitting herselfing.
Speaker 8 (07:40):
You know why it won't calm down because every time
she puts something on the table, it's gonna be it's
gonna be scrutinized. They're gonna break it apart, just like
when every time Donald Trump puts them on the table,
it's scrutinized, breaking apart.
Speaker 12 (07:49):
JD.
Speaker 9 (07:49):
Van has been explaining these cat lady comments for two
three weeks, you know, and and he should have to.
Speaker 6 (07:55):
But do you not feel like it's so I agree
with that, all of it, But do you not feel
like it's high end a bit or sensationalized a bit
because of her being a woman and a black woman.
Speaker 8 (08:03):
I think it's heightened and sensationalized for her because she
came on to the campaign.
Speaker 9 (08:08):
With what ninety days the win?
Speaker 8 (08:09):
Right, Well, people got ninety days to make a decision,
so you know, after the debate ended, and then you know,
a week later or however it was, she became the
nominee or not officially the nominee, but everybody said she
was gonna be at the top of the ticket. She
didn't give an interview for three weeks. You know why
everybody made that such a big deal because she only
got she only had ninety plus days to win. Now
she got seventy plus days to win because of the
(08:31):
nature of her campaign and how she became the nominee.
Speaker 9 (08:34):
That's why she's gonna get even more scrutiny.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Well what eight hundred five eight five, one oh five
one were also on Live glam Millionaire six is y'all
saying we didn't question the white man. I'm forty one
around PLA's age. A lot of y'all don't worry about
politics until it's a popularity issue like this one.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
We should question everybody.
Speaker 9 (08:52):
Everybody I don't know who didn't question the white man.
That's all I did. Y'all was on my head for
questioning Biden too much. Don't jump. Don't you talk about
my uncle Joe like that? Man, don't you talk about
my masthew. No, don't you cut that out? You talk
my master to drop out? You know, you talk about
my master like that Charla Man.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Now somebody says he didn't say. She shouldn't explain herself.
Just stop being extra hard on herself. No, huh, I
guess talking about what Plies was saying about.
Speaker 6 (09:20):
Basically, people are being too hard on her, like she's
getting unfair treatment.
Speaker 7 (09:25):
That's what that person are.
Speaker 8 (09:26):
People being too hard on Trump. They're running for president
of the United States of America.
Speaker 9 (09:31):
This is what comes with it. By the way, she
knows that just ain't come, she said.
Speaker 8 (09:37):
The vice president of the first Rodeo but also too
was the first Attorney general that was a black Indian woman,
the first uh uh Senate Senate Senate person and Senate
senator that was an African American woman in California, an
Indian woman, first bike president that was an Indian woman.
Speaker 7 (09:52):

All right, Well, let's take some phone calls. Eight hundred
and five eight five one o five one.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Hello, who's this?
Speaker 13 (12:10):
Yeah, this is Frick Chris.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Good morning. Where you calling from?
Speaker 13 (12:13):
I'm calling from Florida, Florida.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
All right, what do you think about what? Ply said?
Speaker 13 (12:19):
Yeah, So I listen to you guys every morning, and
I gotta say, you guys say you're not very biased,
but everything you guys say is all about one side.
It's never never buy partisan. Man. I gotta I gotta
be honest. That's why I'm calling. He just said, Well,
just I was literally just said, don't ask questions. She's
(12:43):
a black woman. We don't need to ask questions, just
vote for it and then you know. Charlemagne was at
the d n C. He said, oh, I like a message.
You didn't tell us about a message.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
I like it.
Speaker 9 (12:57):
I did tell you about the message. But I also
disagree with flies.
Speaker 8 (13:00):
I feel like every politician should have to explain himself,
including Vice President Kamala Harris, like, I think it's ridiculous
to tell an elected official not to explain themselves to
the people that they want to.
Speaker 9 (13:10):
Vote for them.
Speaker 13 (13:12):
Absolutely. I mean, you know, the other day too, you
had somebody on that was like pretty much saying the
same thing, like I'm gonna vote for Christmas.
Speaker 8 (13:20):
Blacks, being sarcastic though he was saying that's what people
want him to feel and want him to think.
Speaker 13 (13:30):
Right, right, But I feel, you know, you guys have
a huge following, a lot of people listening to your message.
I think it's awesome that you guys come on and
you know, spread the side so that we can get
you know, the right people in. But I just feel
I listen every morning, I'm like, man, it's a little
too one side.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
I don't see how we've had everybody from one side
we have from the other side. Independence.
Speaker 8 (13:52):
Let me tell you why I love doing what I do.
I love doing what we do here on the Breathace
Club because earlier this year y'all said we were maga,
definitely said we were megaga. Now we're back being liberals.
Y'all gotta pick, y'all which one is it?
Speaker 9 (14:05):
Which one is it? Hello?
Speaker 1 (14:06):
Who's this?
Speaker 10 (14:08):
Hey?
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Pete AKP?
Speaker 9 (14:10):
Good morning?
Speaker 1 (14:10):
What's your thoughts?
Speaker 13 (14:12):
So?
Speaker 11 (14:12):
I just want to I want black people to understand that, Yes,
transparency is key when you're running a campaign. However, there
is a process once you're running into policies has to
go through Senate, has to go through Congress. The president
does not also have the opiate power as we assume.
So y'all just keep up, read the books, and y'all
learn a little bit more.
Speaker 9 (14:33):
Well, that got to do with what apply I said though,
Why I.
Speaker 11 (14:37):
Said that she the president, she don't have to tell
us what what's going on?
Speaker 13 (14:40):
But that's not true.
Speaker 8 (14:41):
Oh, I agree, that's right, that's that's that's exactly right.
She Yes, that's what that was the question. Man, I
don't know why you tried to call up in you know,
shameless for not knowing civics.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Hello, who's this super Hey, good morning, what's your thoughts?
Speaker 14 (14:56):
Good morning? I feel like as black men, they need
to ask theirselves what have they done for the community?
As a black man, what have they done for our
younger black boys?
Speaker 10 (15:07):
Instead of why.
Speaker 14 (15:09):
They're so upset with Commelin And she needs to explain herself, No,
explain why you haven't done what you need to do
in your community before you sit and ex her what
has she done?
Speaker 9 (15:20):
I agree with you.
Speaker 14 (15:21):
All they have done was huh.
Speaker 9 (15:24):
I agree with what you're saying as far as uh.
Speaker 8 (15:26):
You know, before you point the finger at somebody else,
you should ask yourself what you're doing. But these are
elected officials that are asking us for our votes to
put them in these positions of power. So I don't
find I don't think there's anything wrong with asking an
elected official to explain themselves.
Speaker 14 (15:40):
Yeah, it's nothing wrong with that, but they need to
ask themselves first. My thing is what have you done?
She's the vice president, she's not the president yet, right,
but she's you can't she wants.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
To do and if you don't necessarily agree with her
plans of what she wants to do, you can question that.
Speaker 10 (15:59):
And yeah you can't.
Speaker 14 (16:00):
But have they questioned the other.
Speaker 8 (16:04):
What you're going to do all Donald All Donald Trump
does is get questions. Donald Trump doesn't get You're.
Speaker 7 (16:10):
Just so like it's normal. Now you're new too. It's
because she knew kid at school and it's the thing
to talk about.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Hello, who's this.
Speaker 6 (16:18):
Yo?
Speaker 15 (16:19):
What's going on? Man?
Speaker 1 (16:20):
What's your name?
Speaker 9 (16:20):
Brother? The four three? What was happening? What your thoughts?
Speaker 10 (16:26):
I charlot man?
Speaker 15 (16:27):
Hey, man, I want to say this. I'm all the
way mad applies. But it's kind of Williams standing up.
You can't be a smart dumb brother, you know, like that,
like it's smart the question the white man. But at
the same time, you can't be ignorant, not question saying
everybody who's running for anything, I agree, you know what
I'm saying, they got that problem. And to say, show
(16:48):
me a rich politician, I'll show you a corrupt one.
Speaker 13 (16:51):
We can't say I grew up with this lady.
Speaker 15 (16:53):
We don't know how like that respectfully, Like it's not
his aunt.
Speaker 4 (16:59):
He speaks like.
Speaker 7 (17:04):
And listen because a lot of people like that.
Speaker 15 (17:07):
And by the way, respectfully, I get it, but but
she ain't.
Speaker 8 (17:10):
Hey, I'm saying this as a supporter of the Vice
president Okay, yes, question her, Yes, ask her to explain herself.
And I don't know why we do this with every
Democratic candidate. Black people don't question Joe Biden, don't question
Kamala Harris.
Speaker 9 (17:25):
Cut it out.
Speaker 8 (17:25):
Black people don't settle ask questions. Make these presidential candidates
explain themselves, especially if you are undecided what your vote.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Yeah, comic cool underscore zero zero seven.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
I think he put it right. He said this sounds silly.
Y'all are supposed to question the people who are representing you.
You just don't want somebody that you don't know what
they are are focused on or what their policies are.
You are supposed to question the people that represent us.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
It just sounds right.
Speaker 9 (17:49):
Stop it and applies. Applies.
Speaker 8 (17:52):
You're offending the vice president. She wouldn't want that because
she knows what comes with this. She's been in politics
for a long time. The VP is tougher than most.
Speaker 9 (18:01):
Trust me.
Speaker 8 (18:02):
As soon as she became at the top of the ticket,
even before that, she knew what comes with all of this.
Don't get me wrong, She's still a human being at
the end of the day. But trust me, she's built
for the scrutiny she's built for the criticism. She's built
to have to go out there and explain herself to
the American people.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
And like Charlamagne said, and Lauren said this as well,
you should be questioning everybody, your local congress people, your mayor's,
the people that represent your district, the people that you're
voting for, even the principal at your school. You should
be questioning those people that represent you that's going to
