  Speaker 1: So like a donkey, donk here of.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: The day the club bitches.
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: Now I've been called a lot of my twenty three years.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: That donkey of the day is a new.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: White donkey today for Friday, May twelve, goes to an
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: airline that Forbes says is the number nine best airline
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: of twenty twenty three American Airlines. American Airlines, I don't
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: think we've forgotten some of your transgressions over the years.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Okay, when y'all kicked the good.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: Sister Tamika Mallory off the plane over a seat dispute,
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: if I remember correctly, the airline acknowledged that the company
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: mishandled the seating situation and Tamika ended up sitting down
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: with the CEO of American Airlines, Doug Parker.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: But American Airlines, y'all.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: Been accused of racial discrimination quite a few times, start leaving.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: Kwali claimed in the Instagram video that his rights were
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: violated after he was threatened with arrest and removed from
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: the plane over the size of his luggage, which he
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: says was cleared at the gate, and Shikari rich was
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: forced off her flight after an argument with a flight
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: attendant who Richardson said was harassing her and trying to
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: intimidate her over shooting a video. And it was the
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: brother a black man who fired a lawsuit in Florida
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: that accused the American Airlines of blatant racial discrimination for
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: kicking him off a flight from Miami to Atlanta after
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: an argument with a flight attendant during the boarding process. So, yeah,
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: American Eyelines, American Airlines, we keep one eye on y'all
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: at all times for obvious reasons. But out of all
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: the things that I've heard you guys accused of, this
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: one is beyond despicable. And I don't even use the
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: word despicable often because I got a listen.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: When I stay despicable, I sound just like Daffie Duck.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: Okay, that's right, I get this spitting all over the mic.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: So I don't use that word unless it's absolutely necessary,
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: and in this case, it's absolutely necessary.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: This is despicable. Would you like to know what American
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Airlines is done? Now? It's go to Fox two News
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: for the report police.
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: You can't do this to somebody that's disabled. Just say hey,
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: we lost something in us, but we're not going to
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: pay for.
• 1:57
  Speaker 5: But that's what he says. American Airlines is time telling
• 2:00
  Speaker 5: him this all started in twenty twenty. Williams was flying
• 2:04
  Speaker 5: from Indianapolis to Charlotte on his way home to Saint Louis.
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: The special may leg. I put it in my suitcase.
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: I put the sticker on it that say it's fragile.
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: When I get to Say Louis Airport, they rolled me
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: downstairs the baggers claim. I'm sitting there waiting for my
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: luggers to come off and never comes off.
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: Williams tells US he followed all of AA's delayed or
• 2:26
  Speaker 5: damage baggage protocols, verified what was missing, and submitted a claim.
• 2:31
  Speaker 5: He said he eventually received a reimbursement check for a
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: little more than six hundred dollars.
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: You know, this is the cover the clothes.
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: But when he communicated with American a few weeks later
• 2:41
  Speaker 5: about reimbursing him for the lost prosthetic, he says a
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: representative said this, we don't have enough proof.
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: Or enough evidence to pay for the leg, so we're
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: not going to pay for the leg.
• 2:50
  Speaker 5: He says the lost prosthetic wasn't cheap.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: Twenty six thousand dollars American elijahs this man's prosthetic leg.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: You should be absolutely positively ashamed to yourselves. Okay, what
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: Michael said is absolutely true. You can't do this to
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: someone that's disabled.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Just Hey.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: You can't just say, hey, we lost something to yours,
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: but we're not going to pay for it. It's a
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: prosthetic leg. What is Michael supposed to do?
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Now?
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: You're complicating his life in the life of others who
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: have to interact with him. You ever worked at a
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: bank and had a one legged man at the atm
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: asking you to help him check his balance?
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Huh?
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: You don't know whether to look at his account or
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: push him over. Okay, poor Michael, you're.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Just messing with this man's employment. American Airlines.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: I'm almost positive there's jobs your body parts get you,
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: and now that he doesn't have his prosthetic leg, it's
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: limiting his employment options. For example, historically, big breasted women
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: have worked at Hooters, Right, we can agree on that, right, Well,
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: where do people with one leg work at Huh?
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: I hop clearly? Okay, but what if Michael doesn't want
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: to work at I Hop? Okay, what if Michael doesn't
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: want to work at I Hop?
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: American Airlines, all right, with all the bad pressure all
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: have gotten over the years, the discrimination allegations, it would
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: be incredible for American as a staff airline and mother
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: effin crew to simply buy this young man a new
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: prosthetic leg. Okay, all, y'all sent this man was a
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: reimbursement check for a little more than six hundred dollars.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Michael's prosthetic leg.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: Who's twenty six thousand, six hundred and fifty dollars. I
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: don't think Michael could afford a prosthetic pinky toe with
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: six hundred dollars. Okay, listen, if any executives from American
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: Airlines listening to the Breakfast Club, if you're watching us
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: on bet, you should do the right thing and take
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: care of Michael. American Airlines. With all the bad pressure
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: all have received over the years, this act of kindness
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: would give y'all a real leg up on the competition.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Okay, I don't even understand why this is okay to y'all.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: All right, the fact that they lost his property a
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: prosthetic limb and won't pay for a.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: New one is inhumane.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: With all one hundreds of millions of dollars y'all, make
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: y'all don't have twenty six thousand that helped Michael out.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: It's not like it's gonna cost you an arm and
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: a leg, American Airlines, But that's what Michael riding on
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: your plane cost him, well, at least a leg. He
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: still has two arms, but one leg. Man can't even
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: spell our lat alh.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: How it's supposed to be? This is unbelievable.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: Okay, what should be a PR's dream, y'all are turning
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: into a PR nightmare.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: And for what?
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: This story doesn't even seem real. When I first heard it,
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: I thought someone was pulling my leg. Okay, but no,
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: it's real. And all Michael was trying to do is
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: travel the best way he knows how, giving his all,
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: putting his best prosthetic foot forward. And you can't have
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: the decency that covers something that you lost him. You
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: know what kind of inconvenience you're bringing to his life?
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: How can American Airlines even justify this? What leg do
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: they have to stand on?
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Okay?
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: What if Michael wanted to do karate. Now he can
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: only do partial arts because of the negligence of American Airlines.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: Please let bring me Ma give American Airlines the biggest
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: he off.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Hee ha he ha, You stupid mother, Are you dumb?
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: That's fat?
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: I am disgusted, and I think we should have a
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: petty party. We should call American Airlines customer service line, okay,
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: and have a petty party in Michael's name until American
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: Airlines does the right thing and sending this young man
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: money for a new leg. One eight hundred four three
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: three seventy three hundred is the number to American Airlines,
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: and American air is their Twitter.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: One eight hundred four three three seventy three hundred is
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: the number. Uh an American air is their Twitter. Let's
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: go have a petty party and demand they do right
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: by Michael. Okay, Michael, you lean on us and we
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: will lean on American Airlines.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah we could. You could just go to the last picture.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: What what comment you want to leave? What? What? What
• 6:26
