Charlamagne Tha God addressed comments Waka Flocka made about Caitlyn Jenner's transgender decision being "evil," and The Breakfast Club host said he's "all for somebody speaking their mind." Charlamagne added that he's also genuinely confused about the transgender lifestyle, and he added that it doesn't make him transphobic if he asks transgenders questions about their lifestyle.
The "Charlamagne and Friends" star continued on with the conversation by addressing a statement about people supporting transgenders, but not wanting their own children to take that path. Charlamagne then compared the situation to some Asian people not wanting their children to marry outside of their race to "keep their bloodline pure," a statement that will surely be debated.
Charlamagne then closed out the segment by saying, "I can't judge nobody for what they do, and the transgenders aren't hurting nobody. If they're hurting anyone, they're hurting themselves, because they have to deal with all the drama."

Videos Will Auto-Start. Please Pause Them Before Reading
(CNN) Even without the full context, even without knowing what happened beforehand, the video is appalling.
It shows a South Carolina school resource officer yanking a student from her desk, causing her to fall backward in her chair. He then throws her several feet across the floor.
Other students sit silently, with one student covering his face with his hand.
But the outrage was raucous on social media, with some calling for the officer's firing.
A violent confrontation
The incident started when a Spring Valley High School teacher told the student to leave the classroom, CNN affiliate WIS reported. When the student refused, the school resource officer -- Richland County Sheriff's Deputy Ben Fields -- was called in.
It's not clear what happened immediately before the cell phone video starts recording. But when it does, the school resource officer is heard telling the student to get up from her desk.
"You're either going to come with me, or I'm going to make you," he says.
The student doesn't budge. Fields tells her, "Come on, I'm going to get you up," and tries to pull her from the desk.
She falls backward in her chair, but the officer doesn't stop. He lifts her body slightly off the ground and hurls her several feet across the room.
David Klinger, a criminology professor at the University of Missouri-St. Louis, said the deputy's actions seem unjustifiable.
"It literally makes no sense, as I'm looking at it, why he would escalate to that point -- pick her up, pick up the chair she's in, the desk she's in, and toss her," Klinger said.
"There may be some logical explanation, but I can't see it."

Sheriff Leon Lott saw the video and "was very disturbed by it," department spokesman Lt. Curtis Wilson said.
"He has questions like everyone has -- and he wants answers and once he has those answers, he will address them," Wilson said.
Fields has been placed on administrative leave. The school resource officer has been told to not return to school pending an investigation by the department.
But Stephen Gilchrist of the Richard School District Two Black Parents' Association said he wants an independent investigation.
That would be like allowing the Mob to internally investigate the murders that their own hitmen commit. #AssaultAtSpringValleyHigh
As for the student, she faces a charge of disturbing schools and was released to her parents after the incident, Wilson said. He said another female, who might not be visible in the footage, was also arrested for disturbing schools.

School board chair also stunned
James Manning, chairman of the Richland School District Two Board of Trustees, said he was alarmed by what he saw.
"I have watched the video several times and there is no doubt that the video is extremely disturbing," he said in a statement.
"As the parent of a daughter in Richland School District Two I can assure you that we are taking this matter very seriously. The district superintendent has been in constant contact with the Richland County Sheriff to express our concern over this matter and the district has banned the deputy in question from all District Two property."
Officer's career marked with lawsuits, praise
Deputy Ben Fields
Fields did not immediately respond to CNN's request for comment Monday night. But court documents and a sheriff's department newsletter offer a study in contrasts in his career.
The officer was a subject of two lawsuits in the past decade.
In the first case, Fields was accused of excessive force and battery in a 2007 lawsuit. A jury later ruled in favor of the officer.
The second case is scheduled to go to trial in January. Fields is one of several defendants listed in a suit filed by a student against the school district over his expulsion.
Fields has also received commendations for his work in schools. He was given a Culture of Excellence Award by a Richland County elementary school, where he also worked as a school resource officer in 2014.
Deputy Ben Fields accepts an award from Lonnie B. Nelson Principal Karen Beaman for culture of excellence.
"Ben has been working for the Richland County Sheriff's Office Department since 2004 and joined the School Resource Officer Program in 2008," a sheriff's department newsletter said.
"He is assigned to Spring Valley High School as well as Lonnie B. Nelson Elementary School, and has proven to be an exceptional role model to the students he serves and protects."
CNN's Sarah Aarthun, John Newsome, Tina Burnside, Chandler Friedman, Joseph Netto, Don Lemon and Devon Sayers contributed to this report.
A 22-year old Texas woman is accusing rapper T-Wayne of rape, sparking a criminal investigation.
The two reportedly met via Instagram in June. In July T-Wayne, real name Tyshon Dwayne Nobles, flew her from Dallas to Houston for a date.
According to TMZ, the victim claims they went to dinner and then to a hotel, where the "Nasty Freestyle" hit maker tried to "guilt" her into having sex. When she refused he allegedly pinned her down and raped her.
Five weeks later she filed a police report. The victim says she waited so long to do so because she was "in shock and it was hard to process."
Lamar Odom could be facing a legal hurdle in Nye County, Nevada after his blood tests came back positive for cocaine.
TMZ Sports reports that the tests were administered at a Las Vegas hospital where Odom was being treated after being found unconscious at a Nevada brothel earlier this month.
SheriffSharon WehrlytoldTMZ that her department obtained a search warrant and had the blood drawn. She added that it was "distinctly possible" that Odom would be prosecuted.
Odom is facing months of rehabilitation. He reportedly suffered multiple strokes while in the hospital. He's currently being treated at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.
**UPDATE** October 27
TMZ reports that the Nye County Sheriff's Department is about to turn Odom's case over to the District Attorney's office, with the recommendation that he be prosecuted for felony drug use while at Love Ranch South.
The felony charge is punishable by up to four years in prison, but it's unlikely Odom will do any time because he's a first time offender.
Legendary music manager Jerry Heller recently caught up with Prez and Mac Jay for an episode of the Murder Master Music Show, and he spoke about the NWA biopic, Straight Outta Compton. Jerry started out the conversation by saying that he wants to see a biopic based on Eazy's life, and the famed music manager said he wants the Hughes brothers of Menace II Society and Dead Presidents fame to direct the film.
Jerry explained that Allen and Albert Hughes were signed to Ruthless Records as staff video producers, and Heller said they recently contacted him to do a biopic on Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine's relationship. While Jerry wasn't interested in doing that movie, he said that he's still open to do a biopic on Eazy.

Earlier this month at the A3C Festival in Atlanta, Slim Jesus, was confronted by a Chicago rapper by the name of MB Jesus.
MB wanted SJ to say on camera that he was the real Jesus.
"Tell them who the real Jesus is," MJ said as he stood face-to-face with Slim. "Fucking tell them!"
Slim quickly walked away, preventing what could have been an ugly situation..
MB later recorded an Instagram video threatening his Ohio rival.
"Next time we run into Slim Jesus, we gon' find out who the real Jesus is," he says. "We gonna have to beat him and we gonna rob the cameraman. And we gonna wrap the cameraman with his own damn camera."
On Saturday, October 24, Slim responded with an Instagram video mocking MB and his threats.
(RT) ISIS is the most brutal terrorist group of our time. Under the guise of religion, they murder, rape, pillage, and enslave, destroying whole cities to achieve power and control over new territory and natural resources. Victims are forced to convert to Islam as the group slavishly follows a perverted version of the teachings of Islam to suit their agenda.
In August 2014 the terrorists invaded the lands around Mount Sinjar in Iraq, home to the minority Yazidi people. They slaughtered males of fighting age and abducted women and little children to be sold as slaves. They separated families and took young girls for their own sexual gratification, the young boys were forced to become their trainees. The captives have had no one to count on for help but their families, who might be blackmailed for thousands of dollars in ransom. Most of the time, however, surviving relatives never even know if their abducted loved ones are alive or where they’re kept.
Some of the women who had been enslaved managed to escape or were returned by their families. They tell harrowing stories of atrocities committed by ISIS that they had to witness. Despite being safe now, they are still severely affected by their time in captivity. Most have lost family members and rebuilding their lives in this new reality is incredibly hard for them.
In this awful situation, one man stood up against ISIS and its reign of terror. A former smuggler, Abu Shuja, uses his extensive covert network throughout Iraq and abroad, to take back Yazidi captives from ISIS. He organises and takes part in rescue missions, saving the abducted from terrorists and reuniting them with their families. For that, he risks his own life every day. Not only is he in danger of being killed or captured during the operations, he also receives regular death threats; but he still can’t give up, he knows he is the only hope for so many people.
His courage comes at a price; to protect his family, Abu Shuja has had to part with them and send his wife and children to safety abroad. They are now among the thousands of refugees seeking asylum in Europe and now their lives too depend on the kindness of strangers.
