Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Wake that ass up in the morning. The Breakfast Club
- 0:05Speaker 1: more thing.
- 0:05Speaker 2: Everybody is DJ Envy, Jess, Hilary, Charlamagne, the guy. We
- 0:09Speaker 2: are the Breakfast Club, Lawna Rosa filling in for Jess,
- 0:11Speaker 2: and we got some special guests with us this morning.
- 0:13Speaker 2: We have Angela ro and Tiffany Cross here and we're gonna.
- 0:16Speaker 1: Talk to debate.
- 0:17Speaker 2: So before we get started, what did you guys think
- 0:19Speaker 2: about the debate last night?
- 0:21Speaker 3: Oh?
- 0:22Speaker 4: I was so happy with Kamala Harris. Harris's performance in
- 0:28Speaker 4: part because her non verbals were on point. Yes, I
- 0:31Speaker 4: felt like every time she couldn't verbally respond to him,
- 0:35Speaker 4: who I think probably talked over her.
- 0:36Speaker 5: Three to one, absolutely did not follow the rules.
- 0:39Speaker 4: I was super frustrated with the moderators who did not
- 0:42Speaker 4: enforce the rules against Donald Trump, and then the moment
- 0:45Speaker 4: she tried to tap in.
- 0:48Speaker 5: Yes, so I really didn't like that.
- 0:49Speaker 4: But I will say I believe Lindsay Davis did a
- 0:52Speaker 4: great job.
- 0:53Speaker 5: Their questions were substantive.
- 0:54Speaker 4: I hated David Meyer bringing back up the you said
- 0:58Speaker 4: she wasn't black.
- 0:59Speaker 5: I just thought it wasn't the right. Yeah.
- 1:00Speaker 2: I noticed that this morning during Front Page News when
- 1:03Speaker 2: Morgan was playing someone order.
- 1:04Speaker 1: You were getting frustrated at that time. You upset.
- 1:07Speaker 5: Yeah, And I think part of it is this.
- 1:08Speaker 4: Every time that we bring up Donald Trump, I think
- 1:11Speaker 4: that we have an obligation to say what is fact
- 1:13Speaker 4: versus fiction? And I just want to be very careful
- 1:16Speaker 4: that just because he talked more, just because when he's
- 1:18Speaker 4: at the bullypool pit, he says a lot of things,
- 1:20Speaker 4: it doesn't make it so. So I think we have
- 1:22Speaker 4: an obligation. It's very dangerous. I'm someone who's been on
- 1:25Speaker 4: the other end of a death threat right because of
- 1:27Speaker 4: Donald Trump. So you got to fact check that stuff.
- 1:29Speaker 4: It's not okay to just play it and let people
- 1:31Speaker 4: think whatever they may.
- 1:32Speaker 1: Now.
- 1:32Speaker 5: Yeah, the responsibility.
- 1:33Speaker 1: Republicans was saying it was a three verse one. What
- 1:35Speaker 1: did you guys feel about that?
- 1:36Speaker 3: No, I mean Republicans are gonna come out and say anything.
- 1:39Speaker 3: He has such a low bar, and I just because
- 1:41Speaker 3: it was brought up, I just want to do a
- 1:43Speaker 3: little fact checking about the eating dogs comment. It was
- 1:47Speaker 3: an incredibly racist comment by Senator jd Vance and also inaccurate.
- 1:51Speaker 3: The Haitian population has It's been an influx of the
- 1:54Speaker 3: Haitian population in Springfield. They actually breathed life back into
- 1:57Speaker 3: that very sleepy town. They revitalized the economy there. They
- 2:00Speaker 3: are not here illegally. They're not in Springfield illegally. They're
- 2:04Speaker 3: here under something called TPS Temporary Protected status because of
- 2:07Speaker 3: the earthquake that happened in Haiti and all kinds of
- 2:09Speaker 3: political turmoil stocked by say to all the Haitians out there,
- 2:12Speaker 3: because the country of Haiti is so important. It was
- 2:15Speaker 3: the only country that led a revolt. They said, we
- 2:18Speaker 3: will not be colonized. And I think it just means
- 2:20Speaker 3: something so much to black people. So to insinuate something
- 2:24Speaker 3: completely false and racist and it traffics and tropes about
- 2:28Speaker 3: the Haitian population, I thought it was disgusting and I
- 2:30Speaker 3: didn't even think that moderators did a great fact check there.
- 2:32Speaker 3: Back to Vice President.
- 2:33Speaker 6: Discussing, but it was great to hear him say on
- 2:35Speaker 6: the stage because he sounded insane an we wanted him Anni.
- 2:41Speaker 3: We were kind of disagreeing about that because she was like, no,
- 2:43Speaker 3: let her talk, and I was like, you know what,
- 2:45Speaker 3: every time he opens his mouth it helps her. But
- 2:47Speaker 3: it is very American to have this incredibly accomplished woman
- 2:52Speaker 3: on stage on equal footing to this half asked, half
- 2:56Speaker 3: witted acanine man who got not one, not too but
- 3:00Speaker 3: three baby mamas, who is an indicted criminal, an unnamed
- 3:05Speaker 3: co conspirator in crime. Right, So it just looked disproportionate.
- 3:11Speaker 3: You know, he looked incredibly small and beneath her. The
- 3:14Speaker 3: sad fact is we've always known that, and seventy five
- 3:17Speaker 3: million Americans voted for him, And I don't think he
- 3:20Speaker 3: moved anybody from his base last night, because there are
- 3:23Speaker 3: a great group of people who would rather see this
- 3:25Speaker 3: country burn to the ground than to see a black
- 3:27Speaker 3: woman run it. It was a clear choice last night.
- 3:30Speaker 3: It was great to not angelite also disagree on the audience.
- 3:32Speaker 3: I'm happy there's no audience there. This is your chance
- 3:35Speaker 3: to give your platform presented to the American people and
- 3:38Speaker 3: let the American people make an intelligent choice. It is
- 3:40Speaker 3: not a I don't want to hear cheers, cheers, anything
- 3:43Speaker 3: like that. Yeah, So I felt like right.
- 3:48Speaker 1: Benefited Trump exactly? Think so absolutely, I don't think so.
- 3:51Speaker 4: I think that I think that we misunderstand how much
- 3:54Speaker 4: Kamala Harris also feeds off of audience energy.
- 3:56Speaker 5: You see some of that at the rallies.
- 3:58Speaker 4: I think it was fine, Like I thought it was
- 4:00Speaker 4: going to mean more before the debate. We talked about
- 4:02Speaker 4: it on our podcast, Native Lampard, by the way, But
- 4:05Speaker 4: what I feel is that she's zoned like she zoned in.
- 4:08Speaker 5: She talked right to the American people.
- 4:10Speaker 4: It really was of no consequence, and she demonstrated the
- 4:13Speaker 4: difference between what a leader is and what leader looks.
- 4:16Speaker 5: Question, you would have done different if you were her?
- 4:18Speaker 2: Sorry, I was to ask one question, the fact that
- 4:20Speaker 2: he did not have a plan ready and he's been.
- 4:22Speaker 1: He has a concept plan, leave him alone. What did
- 4:26Speaker 1: you guys think about that?
- 4:27Speaker 2: Where you know, Kamala Harris said she had a plan
- 4:29Speaker 2: and he says, I have a concept of a plan.
- 4:32Speaker 3: He does have a plan. He tries to distance himself
- 4:34Speaker 3: from Project twenty twenty five, but the fact of the
- 4:36Speaker 3: matter is hundreds of his staffers work on it, hundreds
- 4:39Speaker 3: of his staffers drafted it, and he is closely affiliated
- 4:43Speaker 3: with These are people he still talks to on a
- 4:45Speaker 3: regular basis. He only distanced himself after it was unearthed,
- 4:49Speaker 3: after people in the media started talking about it. But
- 4:51Speaker 3: trust me, if his staff is writing it, he's guiding
- 4:54Speaker 3: their hands. So he has a plan and also he
- 4:57Speaker 3: has a record to stand on. I's not Kamala Harris.
- 5:00Speaker 3: Vice President. Harris did a great job of laying that
- 5:02Speaker 3: out last night, of detailing the things that he did
- 5:04Speaker 3: during his four years in the administration. That is also
- 5:08Speaker 3: part of the reason, just to echo Angela's point, when
- 5:10Speaker 3: we present facts and information as journalists, you have to
- 5:14Speaker 3: in real time fact check everything this man says. Because
- 5:16Speaker 3: the sad reality, people are not reading the papers anymore,
- 5:19Speaker 3: people are not consuming news and information. So many people
- 5:22Speaker 3: are getting their news from TikTok and Instagram, and I
- 5:25Speaker 3: would just beg everybody have some intellectual curiosity. She put
- 5:28Speaker 3: her policy platform up on her website. You can read it.
- 5:31Speaker 3: You can go to her website and see it. You
- 5:33Speaker 3: can also google it from reputable news sources and look
- 5:36Speaker 3: at it and see how it impacts you on what
- 5:38Speaker 3: it does for you, and not hear things that are
- 5:41Speaker 3: disproportionately in his favor. I think the news media is
- 5:44Speaker 3: begging him to get back an.
- 5:45Speaker 6: Office if he spoke about Project twenty twenty five last
- 5:47Speaker 6: night the way he did Charlottesville, because he said that
- 5:49Speaker 6: there's probably some good I've never read it, but there's
- 5:50Speaker 6: probably some good things to then the's proably bad things.
- 5:52Speaker 5: Yeah you did.
- 5:53Speaker 4: And that's the thing too that I think we all
- 5:55Speaker 4: have to remember. I wish that she would have hit him.
- 5:57Speaker 4: I told tiff and Andrew this last night on the
- 5:59Speaker 4: show that I wish that she would have hit him
- 6:01Speaker 4: when he said I have a concept of a plan
- 6:03Speaker 4: to say, oh, no, you have a plan. It's called
- 6:04Speaker 4: Project twenty twenty five and put that right at his feet.
- 6:07Speaker 4: I think him taking time to say her and she
- 6:12Speaker 4: and never looking at her, never saying Kamala Harris, never
- 6:16Speaker 4: saying vice President Harris or Madame vice President was very telling.
- 6:20Speaker 4: And I think that was probably the only thing that
- 6:22Speaker 4: he went out of his debate prep to dehumanize her,
- 6:25Speaker 4: and I think he went above and beyond to do
- 6:27Speaker 4: just that.
- 6:27Speaker 1: Yes, what about the very beginning when she walked on
- 6:30Speaker 1: stage VeryE She.
- 6:31Speaker 2: Looked very presidential, she looked very I'm gonna come shape,
- 6:34Speaker 2: And he looked.
- 6:35Speaker 1: Like he was running.
- 6:36Speaker 5: He hadn't run up or done up. It was on
- 6:38Speaker 5: site thought.
- 6:39Speaker 1: That she looked like to give me a hug purse.
- 6:41Speaker 3: Well, if you remember back when he was on stage
- 6:43Speaker 3: with Hilary Clinton, he was incredibly inappropriate he was invading
- 6:45Speaker 3: her space. He was walking behind her. I think it
- 6:48Speaker 3: was great that she commanded the stage. She showed she's
- 6:50Speaker 3: an adult. One of the things we talked about last
- 6:52Speaker 3: night is she is not only on that debate stage
- 6:55Speaker 3: speaking to him, the moderators of the American people. She
- 6:58Speaker 3: is on a global stage speaking to other worlds, world leaders,
- 7:00Speaker 3: and so she has to present herself like an adult
- 7:03Speaker 3: in the face of a petulant child. And I thought,
- 7:05Speaker 3: going out there saying let's have a good debate and
- 7:07Speaker 3: going back to her stage, he was afraid to approach her.
- 7:09Speaker 3: He was afraid to look at her. I think he
- 7:11Speaker 3: has a fear.
- 7:12Speaker 5: Of black women.
- 7:13Speaker 3: And I've talked about him because he's talked about how
- 7:15Speaker 3: attractive she looked on the cover of Time magazine. He said, oh,
- 7:18Speaker 3: I thought she was younger. Turns out she's sixty. We
- 7:20Speaker 3: age a little different as black women, as he'll find out.
- 7:23Speaker 3: He just invoked a war with every aka across the
- 7:27Speaker 3: town talking about she was at a sorority party. So
- 7:30Speaker 3: I think thought that she made herself look extremely presidential,
- 7:32Speaker 3: and he looked fearful and small.
- 7:34Speaker 2: Good to the folks, let's say, cause when we come
- 7:36Speaker 2: back okay, eight hundred five eight five one oh five
- 7:38Speaker 2: to one. If you have questions for Angelaae Tiffany Cross,
- 7:41Speaker 2: they are here.
- 7:42Speaker 1: Let's discuss this. The breakfast slug woman warning everybody in cj.
- 7:52Speaker 2: NV, Jess, Hilarian Charlamagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club.
- 7:56Speaker 2: La Laos was filling in for Jess and we have
- 7:59Speaker 2: Angela rae In, tiff Need Cross and a lot of
- 8:00Speaker 2: people on the line want to talk about the debate.
- 8:02Speaker 1: So let's go to the phone call. Hello, who's this.
- 8:06Speaker 6: Yo?
- 8:06Speaker 7: This Robbie Man from Love to Ohio.
- 8:08Speaker 1: Robbie from Ohio. What's your question? Brother?
- 8:12Speaker 7: My question is I want to know what is the
- 8:15Speaker 7: process of the debate, Like how do they get these
- 8:18Speaker 7: people together to sit down and have these conversations like this, where,
- 8:23Speaker 7: in my opinion, very little of what they're going to
- 8:26Speaker 7: do for the country is spoken of. It's more of
- 8:28Speaker 7: like a going back and forth fit tax for battle.
- 8:32Speaker 2: I do agree with some people that they felt like
- 8:35Speaker 2: it wasn't enough policy.
- 8:38Speaker 5: To the future.
- 8:42Speaker 4: I think that she did talk about an immigration and
- 8:44Speaker 4: border security plan. She talked about her plan to codify
- 8:49Speaker 4: Row versus Wade and how important it is to strengthen
- 8:52Speaker 4: the protections in ro versus wage, opportunity economy trade. She
- 8:55Speaker 4: did talk about opportunity economy. She talked about her small
- 8:57Speaker 4: business agenda and the importance of small businesses to the
- 9:00Speaker 4: fabric of this country. And this goes back to our point,
- 9:08Speaker 4: right about running those Donald Trump Donald Tripp, Yes, that dude,
- 9:12Speaker 4: Donald Trump clips. When you run those clips, you don't
- 9:15Speaker 4: hear substance. You hear a rambling elder. And that's not
- 9:20Speaker 4: who Kamala Harris should be judged by, because that's not
- 9:22Speaker 4: what she spoke to.
- 9:23Speaker 5: So I actually think it's very different.
- 9:24Speaker 4: What you don't have in a debate is the ability
- 9:27Speaker 4: to force someone to answer the question as asked. He
- 9:30Speaker 4: was asked substantive questions. He chose to wallow in the shallow,
- 9:33Speaker 4: which that's all he can do.
- 9:34Speaker 3: And to answer your question, there's a debate commission that
- 9:38Speaker 3: works with both candidates. You have to reach a certain
- 9:41Speaker 3: stature or numbers as a candidate to participate fifteen percent,
- 9:46Speaker 3: and they work with both candidate and they agree on
- 9:49Speaker 3: the rules and they also both agree on the network.
- 9:51Speaker 1: To Eric, we have Eric one.
- 9:53Speaker 6: Eric, good morning, good morning, good morning, everybody.
- 9:58Speaker 1: What's your question?
- 10:00Speaker 8: My question, Well, y'all gotta have a real conversation about
- 10:07Speaker 8: the debate last night.
- 10:09Speaker 1: I think we haven't one. Now, what's up Eric to say?
- 10:11Speaker 8: You know what I mean by that. I know most
- 10:15Speaker 8: of everybody in there is a commerce supporter. But I
- 10:19Speaker 8: watched the debate and I'm saying that they bought it
- 10:22Speaker 8: at their movement.
- 10:24Speaker 6: I didn't see Donald Trump laying nothing.
- 10:31Speaker 5: Can you back up from the phone.
- 10:33Speaker 1: What's his moment?
- 10:36Speaker 8: What do you mean when it was his moment?
- 10:37Speaker 6: I'm asking what was the moment?
- 10:38Speaker 1: What did he What did you like that Donald Trump
- 10:43Speaker 1: said he.
- 10:43Speaker 8: Was in office? Was there in war? Was there a
- 10:47Speaker 8: war in Ukraine?
- 10:48Speaker 1: No? All right?
- 10:51Speaker 8: So did he was telling the truth on that.
- 10:54Speaker 1: What it was?
- 10:55Speaker 3: There was no war in Ukraine because Putin had not
- 10:59Speaker 3: tried to annexed Crimea at that point. That has nothing
- 11:03Speaker 3: to do with the president Trump was saying that.
- 11:05Speaker 6: That's why Trump was saying he never Trump said he
- 11:07Speaker 6: always wanted to go in Ukraine, but he knew better
- 11:09Speaker 6: because he was.
- 11:10Speaker 3: But you're suggesting that that Putino down to Trump.
- 11:15Speaker 8: No, I'm not saying he bowed down, But there wasn't
- 11:17Speaker 8: no war. Though Biden came in there was a war.
- 11:21Speaker 3: So are you suggesting that the war is Biden's fault.
- 11:25Speaker 1: No, He's just saying, No, that's not what I'm saying.
- 11:27Speaker 6: Saying the world perceives us as weak because of Biden,
- 11:30Speaker 6: because of Harris, and that's why they decided to go
- 11:32Speaker 6: into your Trump Trump Trump Trump.
- 11:37Speaker 1: And I'm trying to get.
- 11:38Speaker 3: To the point that Donald Trump had a moment specifically
- 11:40Speaker 3: at the debate too.
- 11:41Speaker 5: Yeah, he had it.
- 11:45Speaker 8: He had his moment because some of the stuff that
- 11:48Speaker 8: he did, he was telling the truth.
- 11:52Speaker 3: Like what specifically, what policies specifically, we.
- 11:56Speaker 2: Try to give you a platform to say something, but
- 11:57Speaker 2: you don't seem like you know what you're talking about.
- 11:59Speaker 1: Brother, letting it down there. They definitely maga, damn. Hello, this.
- 12:05Speaker 7: Is Chelsea.
- 12:06Speaker 1: Hey, Chelsea, good morning, good morning, and good morning man, Lauren.
- 12:12Speaker 3: Good morning.
- 12:15Speaker 7: Here too.
- 12:15Speaker 3: Okay, okay, Chelsea. I was just calling after listening to
- 12:20Speaker 3: the bate last night and watching it and see Trump
- 12:24Speaker 3: say that women are getting abortions in the ninth tenth
- 12:28Speaker 3: months after they have a child, asking the.
- 12:30Speaker 5: Doctor to kill it.
- 12:32Speaker 3: As a mother myself and a woman, I was just insulted.
- 12:36Speaker 5: Guess understandable.
- 12:37Speaker 4: You should be insulted, and I hope you take that
- 12:39Speaker 4: insult to the ballot box to show just how insulted
- 12:42Speaker 4: you are.
- 12:42Speaker 5: Bring some of your friends to.
- 12:45Speaker 7: Sure. I will for sure.
- 12:46Speaker 6: I think they said the vice president raised six million
- 12:49Speaker 6: dollars within the last hour of the debate, and seventy
- 12:51Speaker 6: percent of the donors were women, or something like that.
- 12:54Speaker 1: I thought I read that.
- 12:55Speaker 2: So in closing, how did you feel about the debate?
- 12:57Speaker 2: What do you think could have been better? What do
- 12:58Speaker 2: you think that Kamala Harris could have did better? What
- 13:00Speaker 2: did you want to see more of.
- 13:02Speaker 4: I'm somebody that believes in getting in someone's head, and
- 13:06Speaker 4: Donald Trump has shown what you can get in his
- 13:08Speaker 4: head about the size of his rallies and talking. So
- 13:11Speaker 4: there were a couple of moments where he was like,
- 13:13Speaker 4: quiet please, and when he said quiet please, we.
- 13:15Speaker 5: Couldn't hear her, but he could hear her.
- 13:18Speaker 4: So I wish that she would have spoke to it
- 13:20Speaker 4: and spoke a lot more when you were saying like
- 13:21Speaker 4: you're lying, you know you're lying, just to get in
- 13:23Speaker 4: his head.
- 13:23Speaker 5: I bet I think she really had a flawless performance.
- 13:26Speaker 4: Again, I would have liked to see the moderators enforce
- 13:28Speaker 4: the rules a little more fairly and for him to
- 13:29Speaker 4: shut up.
- 13:30Speaker 5: But that's a tall order, Tiffany.
- 13:32Speaker 3: I would have liked the debate moderators to enforce the
- 13:35Speaker 3: rules a lot more strongly than they did, and I
- 13:40Speaker 3: would have liked her to get some more zingers in.
- 13:42Speaker 3: I think there were times where there were good times
- 13:45Speaker 3: when she was telling a narrative, which I thought was great,
- 13:47Speaker 3: But there were times where he would say something and
- 13:49Speaker 3: she could just right off the top, you know, say
- 13:51Speaker 3: something I think, and I talk about this. I keep
- 13:54Speaker 3: a bullet in the chamber, so I'm always ready to
- 13:55Speaker 3: go with some slick ass, like insulting comment, And every
- 13:59Speaker 3: time she was saying something, then I wanted to just
- 14:00Speaker 3: jump in and say something smart because like I said,
- 14:03Speaker 3: or like An said, that would throw him off his game.
- 14:05Speaker 5: But but for overall, she she did a great job.
- 14:08Speaker 6: And there was times like when he said that you know,
- 14:11Speaker 6: y'all did nothing for student loan that I was like,
- 14:13Speaker 6: why didn't she just correct him? Why didn't she just
- 14:15Speaker 6: say no, we did. We gave this amount of ability
- 14:17Speaker 6: someone to correct them on. It was like I got
- 14:20Speaker 6: to correct them on everything. There was one time and
- 14:23Speaker 6: she had to go back that shouldn't have.
- 14:24Speaker 5: Been her job checked him, I think three times.
- 14:28Speaker 6: And I want to ask y'all to how do y'all
- 14:29Speaker 6: think cable news should be handling it, because I think
- 14:31Speaker 6: everybody on the cable news should be talking about how
- 14:33Speaker 6: Donald Trump just might be retarded today. No Trump promise,
- 14:40Speaker 6: I promise you find another word.
- 14:42Speaker 4: What they should be saying is that this is someone
- 14:44Speaker 4: who has a treacherous relationship with the truth, and he
- 14:47Speaker 4: demonstrated treacher's.
- 14:50Speaker 5: Relationship with the truth is far better than what you
- 14:51Speaker 5: just relationship relationship with the truth can't.
- 14:58Speaker 2: What did y'all feel about what she kept saying, I
- 15:00Speaker 2: have a plan, like I have a plan, I have
- 15:01Speaker 2: a plan.
- 15:02Speaker 1: People were going at that as well.
- 15:04Speaker 2: Last time I said, no, I guess what she was
- 15:07Speaker 2: saying in the speech was they would say, it's reminiscent
- 15:09Speaker 2: that I have a dream, I have a plan.
- 15:10Speaker 1: Did y'all hear?
- 15:13Speaker 4: But you know what she did say is we're not
- 15:15Speaker 4: going back, and she invited people in to participate with her.
