VOTE VOTE VOTE

piece 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 gonna look like after the day, but whatever happens, you have to know it's all God's will. As my late great friend jazz 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 know 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, HBCU home comings a cancel, so McDonald's put together a play where people can then

still enjoy the HBCU home coming. So we were filming yesterday. 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 forty five minutes to an hour. They couldn't get it working, so I just went straight straight to set. So m well, then President Obama in Atlanta yesterday and Obama and Biden. I think I know Obama was there. I don't know about Biden. I don't know about I know I wasn't

uh in Atlanta yesterday. So Atlanta was crazy. Was it was jam packing that flew back late last night? Uh, when I was on the plane, I was watching the game and I thought that the Giants were gonna win. I was like, think there's something the Giants gonna win the game. But no, they they they proved me wrong again. They didn't They didn't know they weren't gonna win pretty much. They actually better than people. Still lost, doesn't matter you almost one thing for you. You know, there's no almost

in football. We're not gonna say that about nobody to night. Joe Biden almost one. We almost won a fight. I don't know if a win it's going to be declared tonight. We don't know that yet. Not as possible. It's possible depending on depending where states come in, because I mean, you know the states to really watch North Carolina, Iowa, and what's the other one, No, Florida, Florida. North Carolina, Iowa, and Florida, because those three always come in on election day.

And you know, if if Joe Biden wins those three, it's really no path to victory for Donald Trump. There's a county in New Hampton that's already declared that Joe Biden is a winner. Yeah. So if North Carolina, North Carolina, Iowa, and Florida, if Joe Biden runs the table on all three of those, US more than likely be the next

president of the United States of America. Okay, well, um ya, the interview with US yesterday, right, yeah, Teslain figure out the host of this great shot, no chase of podcast, political pundit, ground organizer, she'd be in these streets. Yes, 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 Lindsay Lady Buck Graham. He'll be checking in with us this morning as well.

He's on a ballot in South Carolina. So South Carolina. I hope y'all go out there and do the right thing, because if not, Lindsay Graham really might have y'all back in the good old days of segregation. Okay, all right, but let's get the show cracking. Front Page knows what we're talking about. You if you had to guess, what would you think? That was awkward chilence it was if you had to guess Front Page News today on election day,

Yesterday was everybody's closing out as today is election day. Now. Donald Trump was a lashing out at different people who he feels are against him as they are. You know, they are people that he talked about included Jay Z, Beyonce, John Bond, Job, Lady Gaga.

And then they laughed in the crowd laughed and Hilary standing say with an empty place that she was talking interesting, Oh my god, this is what he's concerned about me now

of him talking about Lebron James. How about Lebron? I felt badly for Lebron down seventy one. You know why when they don't respect our country, when they don't respect our flag, nobody wants to watch yo bother and the NFL is way down. You gotta really be great to our flag and to our anthem. And if you don't do that without watching what a crowd? 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.

I mean, that's just not accurate. What are you talking? What are we talking about? Hire people? You gotta be you gotta be right with your chance now little Pump who has been saying that he's voting for Donald Trump. He posted Mago twenty twenty twenty, hopefully that is the year.

other things. One of the big superstars of the world, a little piet run. Oh my god, the Mega twenty twenty twenty. Don't forget that.

Pops is good money, but popped up that Pistel does 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 real, we really do, We really should be thinking about that the day because, like I said, it's gonna be a lot of voter intimidation at the polls, and you know, we got to protect each other as much as we can when we out there. Nearly a one hundred million people have already voted. Who knows what the walk up is gonna be today. But once again, you know, regardless of what happens tonight, it's

We've been giving away our vote for a very long time for nothing, and um yeah, we just we need to really stand up and hold these people accountable. Also, DJ very quick, Um, I've been trying to get a

house and the process is really scourging me. Um, I'm a little old school and um, I was taught to not put everything in the base. So I'm not able to get a house because the money I've been saving. You know, they don't have the transactions of saving the money in the Thames. You hearing me from body's house? Do you still have do you still get on paychecks?

You still get monthly income? Yeah? Okay, 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 buy the house. And as long as your monthly income can satisfy it. The banks that

are definitely doing. If you need somebody, I can put you in touch with somebody. Yeah, if iby needs some one, because they told you that as well. And I know anybody, everyone in my family really doesn't do the basic things. I mean really the only one that really started it. And um, yeah, how old are you anybody or know anybody? How old okay, all right, hold on the line. I give his name. His name is Matt, the mortgage guy. He gives He gets a lot of people loans. He

All right, you hold on, Okay, okay, you have a good guy, got a big guys. All right, all right, now you got something to get off our chests. Yeah, and let me tell you I had a difficult time. I actually have um a new show I'm doing on Fox Soul that

actually premiers 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. Fifty minutes it took me. I was driving around in circles for fifty minutes. I just want to get that off my chest. I don't feel bad for you, ye me neither. I mean you you lived ten minutes from from the city, you know. I mean that that's part of the thing you gotta do. You lived ten minutes from the city. So said, if you're bad.

I wanted to get it off my chest. Take you fifty minutes parking? You you had the option. You you could look at the break this has ever taken me. Be happy that you have a car to parking. That is true. You don't even have a car to park. That is the problem is I need 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 in my car was gonna blow up? Yo. Ye No, nobody changed. You have

to add oil or you gotta add it. What's the lessing you change your oil on your car? I mean what you mean change? I mean take it to go get God damn, 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 oil in a car. I don't know she have gas in the car. When it comes to speed bumps, she speeds up. I don't feel I don't feel sorry. You can buy her own burker. If you can buy your own burker, put your own oil in your car.

Keep talking about my car. You get another flat on your bike, Envy. You're right, you're right, get it off your chest. Eight hundred five five one O five one. And we got rumors on the way. Yes, and Adrian Broner, I'm sure he has allowed to get off his chest today after he got thrown in jail. Damn it. Man, all right, we'll get into that next. It's the breakfast Club. Good morning, the breakfast Club. She's filling the team. This is the rumor report with Angela Yee on the Breakfast Club. Well,

Adrian 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 twenty eighteen. I had 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 thirteen dollars in

cash back on October fifth in court. So the judge has ordered that he has to remain in jail until to provide complete that truthful information about his finances to the woman's attorney. Now, Adrian Brona was in court, and here's what he had to say. Friends I got friends were the money because I listen, because listen, and when that moment to them, and now that tells you sending me money my friends, and I think, God, I've never had that peacock geane. My dad instilled that me and

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 Mount Corner 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 mindset. It's way too much pressure being like brothers like a b because when you fall off boy, everybody though, and you end up looking

at sounding like that. Well it got even worse. Listen to this, I don't sending you da listen, but showing that you didn't have any financi damn Yearney, I spend it. I send it on this don't about bills song. Right now, that's what he didn't aft up right, you know, you don't left up right, and just he just oh my goodness, I couldn't really hear what he said. I just heard him say that he bought Bill. I watched that video

about one hundred time yesterday. I'm trying to figure out why ab looked like saucy Santana, Like he built like saucy Santana in that court room, just showing all that shape? Are you showing all that shape for that quest? That's Santana is falling all right now. Adrian Browner also says that he can pay, but he has a fight coming up. He got to wait till after that. I got coming over first. I don't take you that long usual questions. That's your relevance feet. You know what, I'm not here

to listen. He has to say, I'm gonna give you the money here and there and disregard every court order in the UTU. This is a problem with Ruder because you would ignore basically every order I've given here and now. There isn't punishment. I giving you extensions like you give you time. I trust you're gonna get the stone well before you're cheating herd fire. Look see this is the thing. I don't like that, though, and I'm gonna tell you why. Even though he was. He was, he was flaussed and

he was capping online. That's all he had to say. It's not my money. Look, I was just I was fronting, 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 boxing. First of all, stop making excuses. That situation is sad. Okay, it's absolutely no reason for a b to be in that position other than m he just doesn't understand financial literacy, but he is. He can't can't

bring it back. It's not like you'd be like I made a mistake. I can. If you can't flash the money on Instagram and you wantn't his money money and you're saying you don't have it, stop fronting it. If you can borrow money to that and if you know 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 it's 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 gotta deal with, Like we see him in the court. You got wolves out here that are trying to take your head off or something that's not even yours. Come on and be

keeping rail if you want to judgment against someone. And then they said they don't have the money, but then they're flashing all this money on Instagram, you would be like, Okay, they have it, and whether or not God this of what is for who gave it to him? You just can't be on the Graham doing that. That probably wasn't

his money. He was probably fronted to get some lights like you see people do that all the time, but not when you have a judgment against you and you just said in court two weeks ago or whatever that you don't have it. Listen, envy a sensitive ath let him let that man owe him some money and he see him on the Graham like that. Over nine Mary Jay, what's the fall one one? You're gonna be calling everyone one you know trying to get your money. Please. I

hope Adrian Brona does get it together. But that just wasn't a smart thing to do. All right now, Freeway, thank Joe Biden after Joe Biden consultant following his son's death. This was all at Joe Biden's rally and Philly and even though Freeways Oh the Sun passed away last week, he still went to the rally and still performed as part of the entertainment. So here is what happened. Start broke from the Boston Start I a paring to burn. So I'll tell you what. Yeah, that was classic only

all right. Freeway responded on social media, said, me and my brother Oskina both lost our sons in the same week to abiding 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 shot outs, give them the right way to say it. Okay, you don't have

to pronounce the whole Rapper Nation Philadelphia Freeway. Okay, at least say free from Philly Freeway from Philly somethings. Jesus, Yeah, it's beending a little pimp though, make it sound organic. It is better than little Pip though, it is better than little Pip, and that really neither one of them know they're talking about. Let make it sound a little mo organic. That's all right, all right, well I'm Angela, yeah, and that is your rumor reports. All right, thank you,

miss Yee. All right now, when we come back, we have the brother Ed Gordon check it in. We got a lot to talk about today. Of course today is the election day, so we'll talk to Ed Gordon when we come back. Don't move. It's to Breakfast Club. Good morning, So Breakfast Club, your mornings will never be the same. When a training a vehicle at a railway crossing, the results are often deadly. Be cautious 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 your train stop. Trains can't brought to you by NITZA morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the 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 Ed. How are you my brother? I'm good man, how are you feeling? I'm blessed black and holly favored. I know you've seen a feudis in your lifetime, man, None quite

like this though. So so what you think the world gonna look like after the day? Man? You know? I 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 sat in office, even those that I disagreed with vehementley on a policy side. But this man is dangerous. We've been saying it now

for four years. Dangerous, incompetent. He has 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. Man, So we got to get out there. I posted a article on bt dot com yesterday, and I'm still amazed that the black folks who sometimes say just pushing people to vote 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 in a sway and 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 online. You know, when we lost CT 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, George of Florida, North Carolina, and Ohio of the means, when we really need Florida black people to get out there in Pennsylvania, Kelly, Philly's got to turn out, Pittsburgh turnout. We gotta do this now. Also, you're hosting a special or NAACP to host a two

day special talking about the black voter experience. And we were telling people they gotta be careful go with each other because they're gonna be trying to intimidate us like crazy. Talk about that a little bit. That's right. I've been doing these and Charlemagne 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 we'll have great coverage, MS will have

great coverage. But we also wanted to give us an opportunity to give what we says. What we say is unfettered, um, you know, black perspective. And so from seven to midnight, and we may go a little longer, I'll be on anchoring with Derek Johnson. He'll be coming in and out. CEO of the NDAAC people. We got people like Michael, Eric Dyson, and Jamal 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 official. We'll also be taking phone calls. You know, we want to hear from people. If voter intimidation is going on, we need to hear it. DACP is going to dispatch people to these polls. So you know, we're gonna do as much as we can to be protective of, you know, our ability to get out there because it's go time. It's time. You know, I'm with you on getting this fascist 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, them stand deludes us because every presidential election is the same thing. Short up for Democrats, you know, But when they're gonna show up for us is a question. So many black people keep asking. Right, two things that

I will agree with you one thousand 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 opponents. Something's wrong. The other thing is it's an incumbent upon us to make sure that we start playing the game past election day. You know, too many of us state 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 own the reason that Joe Biden won the nomination is because of black folks in South Carolina. No if fans of Butts had he lost that it's 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 one thousand percent, though, Democrats are going to have to find a new model and a new way of doing things. And we can no longer the accepting of you know, the cliche 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 community for far too long, for far too long. It's unacceptable for us to take any leader black, white, or otherwise, you know, take us for granted anymore. But we're talking to Ed Gordon and you mentioned the first

day it should be when the president starts. So if Biden wins, what would you want for him for Black Americans for the first let's say, the first year of first hundred days. I mean, you know, and I never I never look at that. That's that artificial number media made up. We'd 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 hundred days and say, you know, this is what we want, this is what we want for our vote. Um. And you know, part of the issue with any group is who goes in and makes that ask. You know, back in the day, and we were never in lockstep. It was never one leader. It was never that we all followed King, never that

we all followed Malcolm or Marcus or anyone. But there were there were groups that had more of a sway and it was a more a singular thing out of where where we're going. We got desperate asked, now, uh, you know, these these leaders are going to have to determine to a great degree amongst themselves. Um. And part of that it's just you know, political and who's networked and who's closer. But what are you going in and ask for uh, 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 sixty years old. Man. If I throw this hoodie up and I ride in a car, I could be pulled over, shot and killed by police because you look thirty. Well, I don't know if I look at thirty, bro, I appreciate it. But but the idea that you know, we used to say, oh, young black men are in danger. We're all in danger man. Right. You got a look the little bit of melon and

I got rolling. 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 up. You know. I just did an interview with Felonious Floyd, George Floyd's brother, and he got emotionally said, mister 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 and keep each other's back, and we can no longer, you know, be sideline and sidetracked by the foolishness. We've been sideline and sidetrack 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're making, you know, whether it's on

a local level, national level, whatever. Yeah, we talked to Amanda Seals. It'll be on tonight during our coverage and you can find that coverage on the end up ACP social platforms, on my Facebook page, Bounces carrying it on their digital channels. It'll be all over and you go to my Instagram and ed L Gordon and get the information. But Amanda said the exact same thing. She said, Look, I've got a platform now. She said it 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 he's absolutely right, man. You know, those of us who have you know, been blessed with a platform need to utilize it with the right people. You know, and 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.

For you know, uh, you know your your political insight, quote unquote. You can if you choose, but you know, I don't want to do that. 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. Shank you King hey Man always love y'all. All right, that was and Gordon, that was front page news that when we come back, Teslin Fagara will be joined. I think Teslain

Figure will be joining us. Your name back, you can buy on Canal Street just now, Teslin Figure will be joining us. Is the Breakfast Club? Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Yeah, it's the world most dangerous morning Shure the Breakfast Club. Charlomagne and God Angela. Ye, we got a special guest on the Zoom right now. She is the host of the Straight Shot No Chase of podcast on The Black Effect. iHeartRadio podcast network. Teslin figure Out, Good morning family, Glad

to be back. How are you feeling? I'm feeling really good, really really good. How are you, guys? I'm blessed Black and Holly favorite. Leaning into the uncertainty of the week. We don't know what the world gonna look like after after this election. We're nervous, are you really? You know what? One of 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 going to work for sure, you know. I know there's a lot of you know, hysteria about what's gonna happen. Well, a lot of y'all gonna be clocking in just like you clock in every other day. You're gonna pay your bills just like you do every other week, you know. So I think it's really important that people kind of take a pause and just kind of sit back and reflect. You know, there's so much going on

in two 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 hysterias, Charlemagne, you know what I mean. I'm ready to get it over with, probably not for the reasons that would be ideal, but really just so everybody can calm down. My grandmother's eighty nine, and I can't be on the phone with her five or ten minutes without a talking about Trump. My aunt is sixty five.

I can't be on the phone with her five or two minutes without here talking about Trump. So people are just at 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 feel you're on that tasing because my parents came over this weekend and Isaac, can y'all not talk about that for like five minutes? My dad non stop text messages, like family group text messages. It's all like articles and posts

about Donald Trump. And it's kind of like, well, it's a lot, you know, And it depends on who you talked to, what news you watch, what news doatlet you watch you here a different things. Yeah, it's a lot. I always wanted everybody to be up up, you know when we say stay woke. But I'm kind of ready for some people to come back to sleep for real. You know. Now I wanted everybody involved, but I kind of changed my mind. Some people need to go back to sleep. Yeah, some of these people so woke that

they tired. They need some sleep. So they're not even thinking straight no more, they're not even talking straight no more. Right, what are your predictions for the election time? You know, I keep saying it belonged 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 that in twenty sixteen

and we saw the predictions are wrong. What I've been focusing on, Charlemagne, 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 blaming black voters.

But when I look at the actual data Democrats they putting in work, you know, I believe the last time I looked at us, over between fifty and sixty percent of those in Pennsylvania with only a little bit over twenty percent of Republicans. Does that mean a flood won't come in between you know, today and tomorrow. Does it mean that people won't show up on election day? Of course there's still that possibility. But based on the data, Democrats are coming ahead. But we can't just assume that

everybody's a Democrat and votes Democrat. What if some of these Democrats on board with Trump. What if the twenty percent of the Republicans you see turning in a ballots in Pennsylvania, what if they riding with Biden. So we can't take things for granted. And that's what the biggest lesson of twenty twenty is, which we still didn't learn in two thousand and sixteen, is that no vote can

be taken for granted at anytime. So I'm just not predicting anything except I know on the fourth, the day after, I'm getting back to work doing the things that I've been doing for the last twenty years. Now sad people, I think by the fourth will already know the outcome. But of course they're 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 that nobody brings it up like that just totally just went away. So I can't tell you because looking at Iowa again, big issue during the Democrat primary, we never really found out who wins. There was also suspicion about New Hampshire, what mayor Pete

and Bernie Sanderson who won that? So I really don't know. It is so much of a it's gonna depend where it is, how much influence that vote has, what they can contest 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 gonna 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 a decidedly win, 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 don't matter what the result is, if it's not in Trump's favor, he will be contesting. And I think we all know that for sure. We don't know nothing else. Yeah, you know, regardless of the outcome. And you've you've mentioned this a couple of times, like what should black people be doing

after this election? Because that's what I think people don't understand. Regards of who wins, black people 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 from our brother, good brother killer Mike about planning, plot and strategizing, organizing. Also, our Black Party, which is a group you know that a lot of us has tapped

into to support. That is an organization that is a pack of nonpartisan organization that is focused on a black agenda. Ballot down candidates really important with 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 goals down and

we never really capitalize on it. After two thousand and eight and twenty twelve, people just celebrated, they drank the champagne and then it went flat. And so when you look at Florida, which is my political stomping ground, just using that as an example, when those folks you know, just kind of when flat and started celebrating, it is why Andrew Gilliam wasn't able to still win like that matters.

He came close, but it would have been so much closer if a 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 with black media, you do not spend money on black consultants. You do not, you know, invest in the hood person, you know, to get actual organizers on the ground, Be

quite honest with you. Mike Bloomberg doing the Democrat primary was one of the few that actually invested that 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 onto something. You don't have to agree with my position, you don't have to agree with our Black Party or what Killer Mike says or whoever's out there, but it latch onto something because if not, then you lose that a journaline and we have to start all the way over in another four years, all the way from the start. So one thing Trump has done is woke 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 general wake up, wake up, but it was a splash of cold water. And so I'm hoping that people really get involved the day after all, we have more with Teslain, figure out when we come back, don't move. It's the Breakfast Club, Good morning morning. Everybody is st. V Angela yee. Charlomagne, the guy we are the Breakfast Club was still kicking it with Tesla and

Figaro yee. How do you explain these hip hop artists like a Little Wind or a Waka Flocka who are coming forward and put in 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 for office 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 supervoter. I have always said that if you ignore certain demographic for too long, they're gonna show out. Let's just look at any relationship. You don't take care of your woman, you never take her out, you never

spend money on her, your sexist trash. Well, eventually, at some point, what is she going to do? Either leave you or she's gonna 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 some of these rappers, I'm just gonna keep it all the way, really straight shot, with no chaser. These candidates have said they were going to

call them and make a connection and they didn't. Now, I'm not gonna throw out folks names because it's their business to tell. But when you do that, people start a feeling some type of way. You can't just keep ignoring a certain demographic and say, oh, well, anybody listening a little Wayne, anybody listening to an Ice que Well, why is it that they've been trending for days? Somebody listening 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 that this is no disrespect. I'm just keeping it like, keeping it real, Al Sharpton, what he's saying, it's not trending. What a lot of these commentators are saying, are not trending. What Jesse Jackson said, it's not trending. With the NAACP president said, it's not trending. So why is it that que and

and fifty cent? Why were they able to make a trend that says something about they get a reaction from influence and so when you ignore that demographic, it's not about Wayne and fifty cent. And I know people gonna say, oh, Wayne just doing it for himself Okay, maybe, so put your thinking cap on. This is outside of Wayne and fifty cents. 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 fifty cent was just straight up trolling, but it says a lot about you

have to bring these brothers under the foe. You can't keep ignoring them over and over and just dismiss them as, oh, well, they don't know what they're talking about any way, Nobody listening to them, Wayne, abody to listening to your ass either, because if that was the case, we wouldn't 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 sixty seventy plus years. At

some point, you're the common denominator man. At some point, as you it can't keep being a voter. We got to look at you. So I don't necessarily agree with the timing, you know, of all the 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 que Bob asily ain't sitting down, He's

not backing down for nobody. But what I will say this in Q's defense, he'd been talking about a the police and has been speaking for our community for thirty plus years when those were standing back and standing by, the least you could have did was allowed Q to affirm his position and not just goal based on what one tweet said and completely try to cancel that 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 Q should at least have an opportunity's playing his position and if you don't agree with his position, keep you don't keep it moving. I'm also had to say this about a 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 they gifted how Little Wayne gifted him. You know, with something that he really

really needed. This is the kind of stuff that goes on behind the scenes that people are not aware about it. And I will say this, a lot of these politicians haven't done a damn thing for these victims. They quick to put the pictures out there, they quick to say what they gonna 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 an endorsement a little Wayne fifty cent or ice cube.

So keep y'all ass out the comments. I'm speaking on the you know, the totality of it all and what they represent. Do you think that sam hip hop artists might have like that are supporting Biden and Kamala Harris. Do you think that perhaps like they don't get as much attention because the contraions 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 Harris just we just felt like, Okay, that's what

it is. Because there aren't 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, it's normally the Democrat. They always has the entertainment's line up. What I say is this is when I hear people say, oh, they're paying fifty sent, they're paying little Wayne, Well why ain't nobody ever asks if they're paying those other artists? They're 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 broke it 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 Wayne's 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 posing on a fifty cent got paid. Focus on some of these donors who are donating to these campaigns because they're the ones that are getting paid and actually owe somebody for that money. So they don't get the attention I guess because it's just the dorm. But a lot of them do, and a lot of them get influence behind the jay Z got plenty of attention when he supported

Hillary Clinton and Obama and all of that. He put it in his rap songs. He was able to take it to another level of influence from from a businessman standpoint. But where is 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 to things. They know every

damn thing. People have to make their own mind up. That's why I keep saying it belongs to the streets. Y'all gonna do what y'all want to do at this point, you know, we just have to move forward on how we're gonna you know, 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 to

shake up, you know what I mean. I think that's gonna 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 Light's cube in two seconds. But tell you, how dare you speak on Joe Biden's record? Why 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 cribs, and I know a lot of people are 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. We'll set you claim. You know. It's it's like there's a mindset that nothing can be questioned. You know, if 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 thought is out the window, all logic is out the window. But We've just gotten to a place of just ridiculousness. Just to be quite honest with you, that's why I'm so ready to get that over with so we can really have, you know, full conversations. And it's it's it's a mental thing, Charlotte Mane. 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 route. We can still be unified and have our own armies that are pushing different agendas, and whoever pushes the agenda first and gets their first is the winner. As long as it is collectively for black people. I don't care what side that you're wrong. 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 that we'll

keeping lock. We got more with Teslain Figaro when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, good morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee. Charlomagne the guy we are the Breakfast Club was still kicking it with Teslain Figuro yee. One thing we see with Donald Trump right now though, and I will say this, what makes him even more dangerous though, is that he can't accept any criticism or anybody telling him, hey, you know that's wrong.

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 off the road, and he encourages that type of behavior. So what do you think it's gonna happen? Because people are looking at this like after election date, there's gonna 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 if it's 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 gonna be honest with you, most people ain't just about their life.

I mean they're just not you know. They talk that on Instagram and Twitter, and you know they say, oh, I'm gonna be riddy, I'm gonna eat this isn't that. But these are the same people that won't even stand up to the HR supervisor, you know, in demand along the break, let's just keep you one hundred. It's a lot to say behind the scenes, but when it really come down to it, people ain't about that life. If Trump supporters want to follow somebody, go follow them in

the hood. Like that other video we saw when they went to the hood and for word and try it, they got ran out the hood. I think people know who they can attimidate and who they cannot. And I think that's always been in the mindset of any any warrior. Any warrior knows who they can play with and who they can't. So sure, you know, there might be unrests just to play into the narrative. I don't think that

it would be the leftist 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. I see that shirt a lot that says I'm not my ancestors, and I take offensive that a lot too, because I know the idea of saying, you know, I'm not gonna play that, I'm this and that, But what the ancestors went through, we ain't built 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 off no ship. You're not built there were there were enslave folks that fought and had rebellion. You're not built like that. Most of y'all gonna take y'all ants to work at eight o'clock and be typing on your on your phone on Instagram. When we tell people to walk off their 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 deal 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 folks gonna be on their job, Angela. I mean, let's just keep it real. They're gonna be on their job because they gotta pay their bills. On fifteen. Yeah, you know, applies Applies said

something interesting. He said that, and I'm paraphrasing Head that 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 THEMS 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 block. 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 at the eleventh down, oh hey what about black men? You know, but I was talking about that way before this selection.

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 that 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, okay, no matter what, we'll 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. 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, their self center, just like they say, oh Wayne is doing it because he's self center, where you're self center 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 empathies, not enough. You have to hurt sometimes, like something has to hurt you enough to make you say I'll stand for the crime bill because of people that I know that did time, not because I watched when they see us great movie. But until you writing somebody in solitary confinement, till you putting money on somebody's book till you see how it mentally damages them after doing that time in prison. And I'm

talking about first time non violent offenders. I'm not talking about everything with the crime bill. I'm not talk about violence. I'm not talking about those Ada drugs. I'm specifically talking about first time non violent offenders. Until it hurts you, until 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. You know, we had Jim clyburn on and he said, in the first hundred hours Biden being in office, first hundred hours, he wants them to form a committee to see the impact of the eighty six mandatory minimum sending thing as well as the ninety four 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 Claiborne 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, Charlotta Magne's because they hold these nuggets that I feel would 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 play these for this is no shade on him. I'm just giving you how I feel we play these political games and say, well, let's not say that right now, let's just get him in and then let's say it later. But 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 Mike Bloomberg's policies that he pushed. What I was 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 just we don't even exist, you know. I who want to see that happen. I want to see healthcare reform. I also want to see more opportunities on the state and local level. There's a lot of I really want to see their message

in just change. When you talk about and I'll say this and shut up, but when you talk about state level, county medicare basically like a 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, damn for one day and I got the receipt to prove and that wasn't even fixing the ankle. Like, that's really like going on in people's life. Why don't they

talk about that. Why don't you talk about how those types of policies. That's actually when you talk about medicare for all. When when we start talking about that, then it makes sense to people. That's what this Democrat Party needs to do. From from Jim cleinber on our dad. And it's not even about Biden. It's about these leaders who have been in office thirty forty fifty years. They know the right thing to do. They just need to

start doing it word. Her name is Teslin. She's the host of this Grace Shot No Chase of podcasts on Black Effect. I always a pleasant task. I hope, I hope ya reckoning and celebrating in the next week. Yes man, we'll have some of that tequilo on your back. I got drinks over so they tell them where to find you so that they can argue with you if they want to. Yes, please, Teslin Figuo on all Things t e Z L y n F I G A R

O Instagram, Twitter, and get on Twitter, y'all. We gotta start pushing people to Twitter because that's where information is. That's what politicians pay to pay attention to. They don't pay attention to Instagram. Was funny because when Wayne put out the tweet saying he supported Trump, some out on my Instagram said, oh, he didn't say it on Instagram. He said it on Twitter. Because Twitter is where it matters. I g is anti information. It doesn't allow you to

share links, only videos and pictures. It's a reason for that. Get on Twitter, get involved in Twitter, and let's start having this conversation. Thank you so much. Listen up. Well. Yesterday on the Talk Eve 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. They're gonna miss her. I get it, though, she you know she she got it. She set herself up, but she ain't got to worry about it and she don't want to She don't want to do She's like nine, but no, she's in London. She could do to zoom.

She doesn't want to move back after December. So here's what else she had to say on another lockdown from Thursday. And that's another reason why, Like obviously, staying home has been such a blessing, because my husband and I got to know each other in another 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 oh I want to hug you, luth Eve Man. I respect it. You have to know in

this time for you to walk away from situations. Plus it's got to be difficult living in London but still keeping your finger on the post 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. Kurtie b has legally dropped her divorce proceedings against Offsets, so

it looks like they are really trying to work things out. Yeah, I mean, that's that's the That's the horrible thing about you know, being 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, it could have been anything. But the first thing people say is he cheated, he did this, And she was like, no, we just had a bad argument.

But I'm just glad they're working it out. Man. You gotta put the fear of God in your man sometime, whether you're filing for the voice supporting pistol on him. Okay, yes, girl, you gotta put the fear of God in your man sometimes. Well, I'm speaking from a man's perspective. Men, and it works for us, you know what I mean when a woman puts the fear of God and us in that way, But not theist. We're not just putting the fear of God. We mean it. And it ain't like I'm just gonna

scare him at the time, mint it. I'm talking about of us for those who are just trying to scare us. Okay. And by the way, and you'd much rather have a pistol in your face as opposed to them divorce papers getting fired. Okay, preach amen, right right, amen? Preach as a woman, though I must. I've never heard I've never felt like and I've never heard none of my home girls say I'm just going threatened to leave him. I'm not, really, I just want to scare him. You surely mean it.

It ain't like you just doing it to scare him. You mean, if you want to trying to scare somebody, you really thinking this is what I'm gonna do. I've got all right now. I love, I'm not even a woman, but I got home girls, and I've heard I heard that before. I'm just bugging you know what. I'm scared of the divorce papers bore and I'm scared of a pistol. I know that. Why would you let me speak for you? I got this all right, I'm Angela yee And that's

your room report, all right, thank you, miss Ye. Now usually we do Donkey of the Day next, but Charlemagne, you got your Bredgren checking in. Well, it's election day, you know what I'm saying. Today's election day. And you know it's a lot of different elections going on all around the country and my home state of South Carolina. Jamie Harrison versus Lindsey Graham is a big one. So Jamie Hatson will be checking in with us. All right,

we'll get into that next. Keeping lock this to Breakfast Club. Good morning morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, angel Ye, Charlomagne, the guy we all the Breakfast Club. On election day, we have a special guest on the line, Stacey Abrahams. Good morning State, Say good morning. Thank you guys for having me. Man. I got so many questions for you this morning. Number one, when did Georgia become a battleground?

State one of the US done. 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 Luke propensity voters, we became a battleground state. 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 US Senate races, John ass Off and raw Fil Warnock, who've spent a lot of money to make sure that voters understand what's at staken, that their voice matters. We have you to think for George to becoming a batter ground state, then I've been doing a lot of work, but I can't take all the credit. We've had a lot of folks who have been trying to make this happen that Stacey asked 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 registers to vote today? So depends on the state you live in. If you go to I will vote dot com, 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 dot com, put in your 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. Now, today is the last day. Now, how important is voting for black and brown voters. There's a lot of people out there.

Saw my vote doesn't matter, it's just one vote. Or I'm in a state that always goals democratic. I'm in a state that always goals Republicans. So what do you say to old people out there? Oh, even 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, healthcare. All of those

things get changed by voting. In Georgia, in twenty eighteen, we had a congressional person, a congressional candidate who lost by four hundred and thirty three 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 two thousand and eight. So Number One, think about

voting not as magic. You're not gonna get everything you want by voting, but you get more of what you need, and the more we do it, the healthier we get. Number Two, 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, reef 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 we're 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, okay. 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 nineteen so that he can 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, but you need to vote all the way down the ballot. I heard

the Earth Gang. I was on an IG Live and the Earth Gang set. 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. If you got to vote for DA'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 and number. Scratch off the whole thing,

so you can make sure you can win the political lottery. Now, Stacy, what if you show up and they say you're not registered? So again, go to I will vote dot com 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. And what can happen is if you have any problems, called eight to six six hour vote. Eight six six hour vote. The only two things you need to remember today besides going to vote I will vote

dot com at eight sixty six hour 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, it's by taking people off the roles who should not have been removed.

If you call eight six six hour 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 line. Do you think fair Fight has done his job? You know what role do you think fair Fight played in ensuring at the voting process is fair all across the country today? But stay well answer that when we come back. All right, Stacy Abrams is here. Today's election day, so

don't move. We got more with Stacy Abrams when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Ye, Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. On election Day. We have a special guest on the line, Stacy Abrams. Good morning, stay say morning, thank you guys for having me man. I got so many questions for you this morning. Number one, when day

George would become a battleground dates day. 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, in 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 US Senate races, John Ossoff and Raphael Warnock, who spent a lot of money to make sure that voters understand what's at staken, that their voice matters. We have you to think George becoming a battleground state. Then I've been doing a lot of work, but I can't take all the credit. We've had a lot of folks who've been trying to make this happen. Now, Stacy as 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? So depends on the state you live in. If you go to I will vote dot com, 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 iwill vote dot com, 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. Now. Today is the last day. Now, how important is voting for black and brown voters because a lot of people out there and say, oh, my vote doesn't matter, it's

just one vote. Or I'm in a state that always goals democratic. I'm in a state that always goals Republicans. So what do you say to old people out there? Oheve 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, healthcare,

all of those things get changed by voting. In Georgia, in twenty eighteen, we had a congressional person, a congressional candidate who lost by four hundred and thirty three votes. So close races change the future. And we know if we can take the Senate and hold the House and when the presidency, that's the game changer. That is something

we haven't seen since two thousand and eight. So Number one, think about voting not as a magic You're not gonna get everything you want by voting, but you get more of what you need, and the more we do it, the healthier we get. Number two, 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

We have been nice to have, but not necessary to have. Now we're 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 changed 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.

So again, go to I will vote dot com 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. And what can happen is if you have any problems, called eight to six six

hour vote eight six six hour vote. Only two things you need to remember today besides going to vote, I will vote dot com at eight six six hour 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, it's by taking people off the rolls who should not

have been removed. If you call eight six six hour 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 line. Do you think fair Fight has done his job? You know what role do you think fair Fight played and ensuring at the voting process is fair all across the country today. But stay, we'll answer that when we come back. All right, Stacy Abrams is here. Today's election day, so

don't move. We got more with Stacy Abrams. When we come back, it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, wanting everybody is DJ Envy and lu Ye Shalomagne the guy we are the Breakfast Club would be enjoined by Stacy Abrams this morning. Now, Shaloman, you had a question. Yeah, I was talking about Stacey's initiative Fair Fight, and I was just wondering, you know, what role has fair Fight played and is sharing at the voting process? Is fair all

across the country today? So when I wanted fair 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 wanted people to understand is whether we said it or not, it was going to affect us, so we might as well talk

about it. So 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 twenty battleground states. Were there to help make sure that voters got restored to the roles and Andy Basher 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 Bell Edwards needed black voters who were facing voter suppression, when 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 all 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 forty five states. That means that in forty five states out of fifty people have the

right and have had the right to vote absentee. That 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 abstine t ballot, take it directly to your elections office, to your drop box, 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. Do you think we will know a winner for tonight because some people

say we might possibly know. What are your thoughts on that? So what we use, what we're used to our 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 apps and tea ballots. More than one hundred 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 to be right than have an answer

that's unclear and that leads to chaos. Stacy, do you think the Democratic model as currently constructed a sustainable meaning? Black men and black women are the largest group of voters for Democrats, but it's 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 if we show up. And that's the big piece I think it's missing in this conversation. Twenty 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 what do we do next? Like, do we make

clear demands and to tell them what we want? Absolutely? So I talked about it this 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. Politics the only job where you get hired and then 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. Already, she has a live hit in five minutes. Let me get one. I got one morning, Stacy. You are a VP hopeful. People say Stacey was campaigning for the job. Was that over 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 benefits of the doubt. I've got to give myself the platform, and 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. Then 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 eighteen months, and my answer never changed. It's just started paying attention. All right, Well, Stacey, we appreciate you for checking in. Thank you so much. Thank you you guys, eight to six hour vote, Get it done. All right? Now, we got rumors on the way, yes, and bad news for Genie May. She has been hospitalized and has to

leave Dancing with the Stars. We'll tell you what you had to say, all right, we'll get to that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Go Morning, the Breakfast Club. This is the rumor report with Angela Yeast Club. Well. Timberland posted a picture of Joda see on the cover of Vibe magazine and said this group changed R and B. Y'all will soon see hashtag versus who would you like

to see Joda see battle? I love Joda see I mean Joda see could battle any of the groups I mean the drew Hills of the World, the Jagged Edges, I mean, the Jaggets, did one twelve? Did one twelve? So I guess the only who did I just say, other than one twelve? Jacket Edge, Who'd I say? You said Drew Hill? But yeah, Jodi and Drew Hill would be a good one. No one, Why not? DA has so many Rember. I'm a Joda see guy all day. I'm you know, Joda ce plays in my crib on

a regular daily, weekly whatever. But I think Jodi Drew Hill wouldn't be bad. I saw people saying boys to men. I saw a lot of that. Nah boys, the men didn't have those Um, I don't think boysman had those cultural anthems like Jodac had boys. Men had big commercial records. Well yeah, well they had End of the Road. That's a big commercial record. Yeah, and you know, you know your mighty right. I don't know who could really battle

Joda see around the end of the Road. Now it's like riding with the windshield wife was going and it ain't even raining, you know what I mean? Like Yan, I mean, there's nobody the northern groups of Blackstreet or New Edition, and you know I mean that one Drew Hill would be the only thing that makes sense to me against Joda. See all right, Well, Genie May was hospitalized. She has a thrill condition, and she was forced to leave Dancing with the Stars. She said, this absolutely devastated

that my journey on Detimate starsend this way. I found out that I have a throat abscess where my tonsils and my throat had gotten so infected that it started permeating to the rest of the areas behind my neck and my ears. That I had to get emergency surve for you, which is why I'm here now. Everything went gray. One more day, your throat would have 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 okay. So lout to Genie. I'm glad she caught that throat condition, and I wonder what causes that, and I hope we don't find out. Genie. Now you mean you're glad you caught it early. I'm glad she caught her throat condition early so she could do something about it. Um, And

I just wonder what causes that. I hope we don't find out Genie Ma was walking around the house doing Jeez's ad libs. And you know that that russho something in her throat. All right, now, Chrissy Teagan has gotten a tattoo and that's honoring her late son Jack. So you know, unfortunately for her would have been the third baby. The baby died in just twenty weeks. She now has made sure he'll always be remembered with the 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, and the legends all right. Monique said that Whoopie Goldberg told her to get rid of her husband. And here's what she had to say. As she was talking on out Loud with Claudia Jordan on Fox Soul, and she said to me, it's your husband. You gotta get rid of your husband.

And I said, Whoopie, my husband negotiated the biggest deals I've had in my career, along with our attorney, Ricky Anderson, two black men. And 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. 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 againsist 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 she keep on speaking her truth and fighting for her family as long as she has breath in her body.

And she said that 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 that everything she says about Oprah, Tyler Ferry, and Lee Daniels liked. They said, Monique 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 or was that. 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. Jody see, what about TLC or s w V. What what about them? A bad versus battle? That'd be dope? No? Well, no, I would like to see them against s w V. I think that's a good matchup. Maybe they had a

lot of s w V. Wouldn't be bad. That actually wouldn't be bad. Joda C versus I would like that, Yeah, because I'm a big fans of both of them. I don't know who I would pick, Tony Tony Tony TLC us versus. I'm here for that. I'm here for Joda C versus Tony, Tony Tony versus s w V. I like. I don't know if I like that. Who do you have? I'm gonna tell you why. I like that because they both had freaky songs, you know what I'm saying, And it'd be like a dope at home date night type

of versus battle. I like that I like Joda ce versus Tony Tony Tony you got, I got Tony Tony Tony Bro. That's tough, Bro, Tony feels good, ever, rains anniversary, whatever you want. Yeah, but it's tough, man, It's tough Tony. You gotta get along with each other again because y'all messed up that relationship. Yeah, that's the tough one.

And also from South Carolina, Jamie Harrison

checked it as well. Jamie Harrison, he's running for senator in South Carolina. Man, please make sure y'all going vote for Jimmy Harrison. Let's get Lindsay Lady bud Graham up out of there. All right, Well you got a positive note. Well, I don't really have a positive note. It's just more of a statement. I said it early 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 Fly Waters used to say, trust God to God. Okay, 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, it's
