Speaker 1 (00:00):
Oh no, every day.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
I way go click yours up the breakfast club. You'll
finish for y'all.

Speaker 3 (00:06):
Dump We are a breakfast club. Let's get in some
front page news. Start off with some quick sports Thursday
night football. The Commands take on the Green Bay package
tonight at eight fifteen pm.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
That is on Prime video.

Speaker 1 (00:20):
What's up to me?

Speaker 4 (00:21):
First of all, I just want to say, yes, I
am here. Don't play with me, emmy, because I don't
know what you said before you got you before y'all.

Speaker 1 (00:25):
Let me in the zam, but don't play me a MEMI.
You look pretty gooey. I was shy to be you.

Speaker 2 (00:29):
I was like, what's up, Jess, Hi, That's what I did?
What's up me?

Speaker 5 (00:33):
Me? All right, y'all, Good morning Jess, Good morning Envy.
So we're gonna start this morning with breaking news out
of Utah, a shocking and deadly shooting involving one of
the most controversial voices in conservative politics. Thirty one year
old Charlie Kirk, the co founder of Turning Point USA
and a loud advocate for expansive gun rights, was fatally

(00:53):
shot and killed yesterday while speaking at a debate hosted
by his nonprofit at Utah Valle University. Now, a manhunt
is still underway. Two people who were considered suspects were
later released, according to police. Now, if you're not familiar
with Kirk, he was hugely influential among young conservatives, building
Turning Point into a nationwide network on more than three

(01:16):
thousand college campuses and high school campuses. He was also,
though very polarizing, known for spreading election conspiracy theories, opposing
gun restrictions, and pushing rhetoric that critics say fueled division.
At yesterday's event, he was taking audience questions, taking audience
questions about mass shootings and gun violence when he was killed.

(01:37):
And we're going to play the audio leading up to
the shooting. I want to warn you it may be
hard to listen to, but we do stop right before
we hear the gunshots.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
Let's listen.

Speaker 6 (01:46):
So, do you know how many transgender Americans have bit
mass shooters over the last ten years? Right, I'm going
to give you Mane his credit. Do you do you
know how many matchers there have been in America over
the last ten years, counting or not comic gang violence.

Speaker 5 (02:10):
So right after that, when he says gang violence, a
single gunshot rang out. Video circling on social media shows
Kirk grabbing his neck as blood pours from his wound.
You can also see people panicking, screaming, scrambling for safety. Now,
Kirk he often defended broad gun rights, even saying that
some deaths were worth it to protect the Second Amendment,

(02:33):
and now video of that statement is also circulating on
social media in the aftermath of his death, sparking a
different conversation about gun laws and political extremism. And of course,
as news spread, lawmakers on both aisles they are condemning
the shooting, but the blame game has escalated. Fox News
host Jesse Waters reacted to the shooting during his show,

(02:55):
Let's listen to what he had to say.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
Charlie spoke the truth.

Speaker 7 (02:59):
He said what he felt, and they killed him for it.
The message is shut your mouth. And this isn't the
first time this has happened.

Speaker 2 (03:05):
This is just the worst time.

Speaker 7 (03:06):
They shot Trump. They went to Kavanaugh's house with a rifle.
They're fire bombing Elon's cars, rioting in La trans Shooters
are killing our kids. Hell Rand Paul got his ribs
broken by his neighbor. Ice agents have to wear masks
because their families are getting death threats. They're telling us
we're at war.

Speaker 5 (03:26):
And then there's a Republican Congresswoman, Nancy May. She also
spoke with reporters right after the shooting. Let's listen to
that exchange.

Speaker 2 (03:34):
Democrats own what happened today. I am devastated.

Speaker 8 (03:40):
Just because you speak your mind on an issue doesn't
mean you get shot.

Speaker 7 (03:44):
By that logic, do Republicans own the shooting of the
two Democratic clawnmakers in Minnesota?

Speaker 2 (03:49):
Politic isn't isn't this on both sides hiding?

Speaker 5 (03:52):
We don't know what contention Charlie Kirk is in right now,
some raging leftist.

Speaker 6 (03:57):
Lunatic put a bullet through his No, and you want
to talk about Republicans right now?

Speaker 7 (04:02):
No, no, you said Merri.

Speaker 2 (04:05):
Democrats owned this.

Speaker 9 (04:08):
Well.

Speaker 5 (04:09):
President Donald Trump has ordered flags to fly at half
staff until September fourteenth in response to Kirk's death, and
he called this a dark moment for America and blame
the shooting on the radical left envy.

Speaker 1 (04:22):
What do you think about this?

Speaker 5 (04:23):
I think that this shooter hasn't been caught yet, so
I think our elected officials need to be a little
bit careful before.

Speaker 3 (04:29):
We absolutely Charlamage said now as well, I do feel
like he's not the gentleman. Wasn't a politician, right, he
wasn't a lawmaker. He had an opinion, whether you believed
his opinion, whether you liked his opinion, whether you disliked opinion.
Part of being in this country is the.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
Rite of free speech.

Speaker 3 (04:43):
And the fact that he was shot and killed and
he has two kids and he has a wife is
absolutely positively sad. And I don't believe in that. You know,
you should be able to say what you want to say,
whether people like it or love it or hate it.
But the fact that you have an opinion and you're
killed for it is very disgraceful. And I feel sorry
for that that that man's family, he has two kids.
It's just disgusting in America. To me, That's how I feel, Charlea.

Speaker 2 (05:07):
I just sat down, Give me a minute. I start
the show all the time, exactly, that's the time. I
literally just what's up? What's up?

Speaker 4 (05:16):
Just yeah, I don't really know enough about you know,
Charlie Kirk. You have an opinion about the things he
said when he was alive. All I know is that
I did hear that he had a family, and he
was taken away from them simply, and that's just that's message.

Speaker 1 (05:33):
Sat. So my heart goes out to his children and
his wife.

Speaker 4 (05:36):
But he's gone now, and so everything that he was,
you know, judged for saying or whatever, I mean, that's
all over.

Speaker 1 (05:42):
That really don't matter now because he's not here.

Speaker 5 (05:47):
Well, you know, we're also following another shooting, sadly, this
one out of a high school in Colorado, about thirty
minutes outside of Denver. Authorities there say a student opened
fire yesterday at Evergreen High School that's just around twelve pm,
wounding two students before turning the gun on himself. Now,
police confirmed the shooter died from a self inflicted gun wound.

(06:08):
Three students in total were rushed to the hospital. One
remains in critical condition, another is stable, and a four
student was treated for other injuries. Now, after the shooting,
the school went on lockdown. Officers, of course, they swept
the campus. Students were evacuated, and parents were reunited with
your children at a nearby elementary school. The FBI and

(06:29):
the ATF are assisting. The motive is still unclear and
the suspects identity has not been released. So we're just seeing.

Speaker 2 (06:38):
This was in Colorado.

Speaker 5 (06:39):
This was right outside Denver, or about thirty minutes outside Denver.

Speaker 9 (06:42):
Yesterday, I just said, down, do we have to start
to show at six am every day?

Speaker 6 (06:46):
I can?

Speaker 2 (06:47):
Can we maybe six.

Speaker 1 (06:50):
For the last fifteen second? I know?

Speaker 2 (06:52):
And you know what the old I get. I want
to adjust things.

Speaker 9 (06:56):
For moments like this, like you just walk in and
it's just heavy immediately off the time.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
I gotta get my bearings. And you're right, yeah, absolutely.

Speaker 3 (07:04):
You started school. We were talking about the dogs who
play some music, dogs, my dog whatever. My dog's pooped

Breakfast Club the morning, good morning, everybody is DJ env

(08:08):
just hilarious, Charlemagne gud We are the Breakfast Club. Let's
get back in some front page news now tonight. The
command to take on the pack is at eight fifteen,
so you can see that on Prime video. What's up, Mimi?

Speaker 1 (08:19):
All right?

Speaker 5 (08:20):
Good morning. So today mark twenty four years since the
September eleventh attacks that took nearly three thousand lives, and
across the country, communities are honoring the victims and first
responders with ceremonies, moments of silence, and a national day
of service. In New York, the names will be read
at Ground zero. In Washington, there's a ceremony at the
Pentagon and in Pennsylvania, families will gather at the Flight

(08:42):
ninety three National Memorial. Vice President j D. Vance and
his wife are expected to attend the New York ceremony,
and authorities say security will be heightened around all official events.
So you want to honor the victims of nine to
eleven this morning? Absolutely, And we are learning a lot
more about Vice President Kamala Harris's time inside the Biden

(09:04):
White House, as she's holding nothing back inside her new memoir,
One hundred and seven Days. In excerpts released to the Atlantic,
Harris opens up about the tense months leading up to
Joe Biden's decision to seek re election. She says deferring
to Biden and letting him and First Lady Joe Biden
decide on their own wasn't just risky. She calls it recklessness. Now,

(09:26):
according to Harris's advisors, repeated some of the same lines
over and over again. It's Joe and Jill's decision, But
looking back, she says the stakes were too high to
lead that choice to an individual's ego or an individual's ambition.
She also reveals deep frustration with Biden's inner circle accusing
some staffers of feeding negative stories about her to the

(09:47):
press and refusing to defend her publicly. And Harris says
that while Republicans labeled her the borders are and attacked
her work, Biden's communications team rarely corrected the record or
pushed back when reporters criticized her laugh, her tone, even
her dating history. Harris right she got little support from
inside the White House, saying at times it felt like

(10:08):
Biden's team decided I should be knocked down a little
bit more now. Despite all of that tension, Harris does
make it clear that she stood by Biden against Donald Trump,
writing that even on his worst day, Joe Biden was
better than Donald Trump on his best.

Speaker 9 (10:23):
So, yeah, listen, I cannot wait to read her book
one hundred and seven days. I'm actually checking in my
mailbox every day because I was supposed to get it
sent to me yesterday. But this is the honesty she
should have showcased during the campaign. I wish she would
have broken away from Biden like this while she was campaigning,
like that one line on the view and she said
she wouldn't do anything different than Biden. I feel like

(10:44):
that's what really ruined her, But I'm happy about what
she is sharing in this book. I'm happy about what
I read in The Atlantic yesterday because maybe it will
give the Democratic Party the nuts to throw that old
regime under the bus. I keep saying, over and over,
whatever the future of the Democratic Party looks like, you
gotta throw that whole old regime under the bus, especially

(11:08):
President Biden.

Speaker 2 (11:09):
And I wonder what changed.

Speaker 3 (11:10):
I wonder what made her say now is the time
I'm gonna start doing this, because I feel like she.

Speaker 2 (11:14):
Don't have a choice.

Speaker 9 (11:15):
If you send the yeah, if you don't have nothing
to lose it, if you're sitting down writing the book,
you have to be honest not to mention. You can't
keep telling people they did not see what we all saw.
I read the Original Sin by Jake Tapple. Before I
read the Original Sin, we was up here having those
conversations and people were giving handing us our ass because
we would be saying those things about President Biden.

Speaker 2 (11:34):
So I know she dealt with it on a on
a real level. If you got coringe.

Speaker 9 (11:38):
John Pierre saying things like, we can't be blindly loyal
to the party anymore, and I'm an independent now.

Speaker 2 (11:44):
The Vice president. She was way closer to him than
than everybody else.

Speaker 3 (11:48):
Does she not run again? Because that means she lied
to the American people, Right, that means all the things
that we wanted her to do she really felt like doing,
but she said the total opposite.

Speaker 2 (11:56):
I don't think this is about her running it with this.

Speaker 4 (11:58):
But still at the same time, right, if she had
separated or even went against him earlier, still being his
vice president, wouldn't that like mess with her safety?

Speaker 1 (12:06):
Wouldn't it would have cost her so much?

Speaker 2 (12:08):
I don't think so, because he was such an unpopular president.
I don't think so. I think he was such an
unpopular president.

Speaker 3 (12:13):
No, I think people didn't like him, and I think
they wanted a reason to like her more. And I
think with her riding with him made people not like
her just as much as not liking him.

Speaker 9 (12:21):
Absolutely, So, I think I think this book, if it's
anything like this little you know excerpt we saw in
the Atlantic, it should give the Democratic Party the nuts
to throw that old regime under the bus because they
got to build something new.

Speaker 5 (12:35):
Yeah, that article in the Atlantic is really good if
you guys get a chance.

Speaker 1 (12:38):
To check it out.

Speaker 5 (12:41):
Her book one hundred and seven Days is scheduled to
be released on September twenty third, so we want to
keep a lookout for that. And while Kamala Harris opens
up about her own struggles inside the White House, there's
another conversation happening about the challenges that black women are
facing in the economy right now. Congresswoman Ayana Presley says
the Federal Reserve needs to step up. A new jobs

(13:03):
report shows that three hundred and nineteen thousand fewer Black
women are employed now than in July, pushing unemployment for
black women up one point three percent. Now. Presley says,
this just isn't about the black community. It is a
warning sign to the US economy. Black Information Network anchor
Andrea Coleman she sat down with the congresswoman earlier this

(13:27):
week and to talk about the impact of these numbers.
Let's hear what she had to say.

Speaker 8 (13:32):
All Americans should care because Black women throughout history have
been the canaries in the coal mine. This alarming spike
in black women's unemployment rate to six point seven percent
compared to overall unemployment of four point three percent. This
is the highest in four years, and again it's just
further evidence of Donald Trump's irresponsible in chaotic economic policies,

(13:56):
and you know, I do believe it is also discriminate,
precise and targeted harm.

Speaker 5 (14:03):
Yeah. Presley went on to say that there's another layer.
She wants the Federal Reserve to start tracking employment data,
specifically for black women. Without accurate number, she argues, policies
can't create real solutions to prevent further job losses. Now,
this comes as overall job growth has slowed nationwide. Employers
added just twenty two thousand jobs in August. But for

(14:24):
black workers, the impact of that is even sharper. Unemployment
jump to seven point five percent compared to the four
point three percent nationally. Now. Presley also points to other
factors that are making the situation worse, including cuts to
diversity and inclusion programs, loss of thousands of federal jobs,
and the growth of AI in hiring, which experts say

(14:44):
is disproportionately affecting black applicants. We talked about this a
little bit yesterday. She's tying it into politics, raising concerns
after President Trump tried to fire Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook.
She calls that firing a broader rollback of the black
leadership in the highest level of government. So she says
again this will affect the whole economy, saying job losses

(15:06):
that hit black women first, the ripple effects are eventually
felt throughout the country. So we will keep an eye
on the line.

Speaker 9 (15:14):
You know, I've always said that when people have these
these comments about protecting black women, you know, providing security
for black women, a lot of that security got to
be financial. You know what I'm saying, When the last
time you put a check in a black women's pocket.
You know what I'm saying, When the last time you
provided a black woman in an opportunity if you can
have you have the ability to do that, when the
lat of time, you know you gave a black woman
a job. Like you know, people just be getting on

(15:34):
their podcasts and getting on their youtubes and giving these
long soliloquies about protecting black women. I don't hear your lip,
service man, what's up with that money?

Speaker 5 (15:42):
Run that Check's some action behind those words?

Speaker 1 (15:46):
Yes?

Speaker 4 (15:46):
Right?

Speaker 3 (15:47):
All right?

Speaker 5 (15:47):
So and really quickly, lastly, if you live in New Mexico,
there's some some news that could save your family thousands
of dollars. Starting this November, the state will become the
first state in the country to offer free universal childcare
for every family, no matter your income. The governor there
says the goal is to give parents financial relief, keep
more people in the workplace, and make sure every child

(16:08):
has access to quality care. Under the program, families would
save about twelve thousand dollars per child each year. The
state will either cover your childcare altogether or reimburse you
for the cost. The move is expected to lift tens
of thousands of people out of poverty.

Speaker 1 (16:24):
I love this.

Speaker 5 (16:25):
I think this is something every state should be working towards.

Speaker 2 (16:28):
Sound work.

Speaker 5 (16:29):
