- 4:17Speaker 1: Tesla just became the sixth company in US history to
- 4:20Speaker 1: be worth one trillion dollars. How exciting is that? And
- 4:27Speaker 1: according to reports now they are saying this is the
- 4:29Speaker 1: largest gain for an individual. His net worth just jumped.
- 4:33Speaker 1: Elon Musk net worth just jumped to two hundred and
- 4:35Speaker 1: eighty eight point six billion dollars on Monday. That's crazy. Yes,
- 4:39Speaker 1: his game thirty six billion dollars. It's the largest single
- 4:43Speaker 1: day game Bloomberg has ever recorded. Yeah, that's all because
- 4:46Speaker 1: what Hurt said that they're going to be taking a
- 4:48Speaker 1: fleet of Tesla's rights as sub mental cars. Yeah, they
- 4:51Speaker 1: did one hundred thousand Teslas for its fleet. That's crazy.
- 4:54Speaker 1: And Morgan Stanley Auto Analysts just raised his price target
- 4:58Speaker 1: on Tesla to twelve hundred dollars a share. So it's
- 5:01Speaker 1: the second fastest company to hit the one trillion dollar mark.
- 5:05Speaker 1: You know who was first? Facebook? Facebook? Yeah, the fastest.
- 5:10Speaker 1: They needed just over nine years from its IPO to
- 5:12Speaker 1: reach one trillion dollars. It took just more than twelve
- 5:15Speaker 1: years for Tesla to reach that one trillion dollar mark. Nice.
- 5:20Speaker 1: Oh all right, so yeah, I mean, what can I say?
- 5:22Speaker 1: Congratulations to Elon Musk and everybody who has that stock
- 5:26Speaker 1: invested in that stock. Absolutely, I'm surprised with Tesla, and
- 5:28Speaker 1: I'll be honest with you because you don't really see
- 5:30Speaker 1: too many car manufacturers that come that are new that
- 5:33Speaker 1: do that well, you know, you're looking at his history.
- 5:36Speaker 1: Most of them fail. So the fact that Tesla is
- 5:38Speaker 1: successful and continuing to be successful, that's great. And you
- 5:41Speaker 1: know he owns twenty percent of Tesla and that is
- 5:44Speaker 1: what is the primary driver of Elon Musk's wealth. So
- 5:47Speaker 1: that also funds ventures like SpaceX by the way. Wow, yeah,
- 5:52Speaker 1: And you know, I guess what it is though, is
- 5:54Speaker 1: that he did find a Niche right, people are trying
- 5:56Speaker 1: to think about the environment more and think about the
- 5:59Speaker 1: cost of gas going up. Yeah, but you know, so
- 6:02Speaker 1: many manufacturers have electric cars. You know, you look at Forward,
- 6:05Speaker 1: and you look at Chevy, and you look at all
- 6:06Speaker 1: these other places they have electric cars. Toyota, but it
- 6:09Speaker 1: just like Tesla. But you think of it, you think
- 6:11Speaker 1: of Tesla. Tesla just looks a lot better. And these
- 6:13Speaker 1: companies been doing electric calls for longer, but Tesla just
- 6:17Speaker 1: looks the designs are better. Well, his fortune is now
- 6:19Speaker 1: one hundred billion dollars over Jeff Bezos. Nice all right, Now,
- 6:23Speaker 1: Governor round de Stantis in Florida wants to offer police
- 6:26Speaker 1: officers who refuse to get vaccinated where there's requirements for
- 6:30Speaker 1: them to get vaccinated, he wants to give them five
- 6:32Speaker 1: thousand dollars to relocate to Florida. He said, we would
- 6:35Speaker 1: treat you better. And according to the Stantis, he said,
- 6:38Speaker 1: we're actually actively working to recruit out of state law
- 6:41Speaker 1: enforcement because we do have needs in our police and
- 6:43Speaker 1: our sheriff's department. So in the next legislative session, I'm
- 6:46Speaker 1: going to hopefully sign legislation that gives a five thousand
- 6:49Speaker 1: dollar bonus to any out of state law enforcement that
- 6:51Speaker 1: relocates in Florida. Yeah, I mean, it's it's hard to
- 6:54Speaker 1: tell people to take the vaccine when you have a
- 6:56Speaker 1: lot of healthcare workers, a lot of police officers, firefighters,
- 6:59Speaker 1: teachers that I don't want to take it. You know
- 7:00Speaker 1: what I mean. It's it's very difficult to say, oh, yeah,
- 7:03Speaker 1: I take it. But then you look at the healthcare
- 7:04Speaker 1: work because you're looking police officers and they like, I
- 7:06Speaker 1: ain't taking it. It's very difficult. Yeah. I was reading
- 7:09Speaker 1: an article about one senator who was having a meeting
- 7:13Speaker 1: in her office and she actually had beat breast cancer,
- 7:15Speaker 1: or she had breast cancer, and she was asking another senator.
- 7:19Speaker 1: When I'm trying to remember who it was exactly, I
- 7:21Speaker 1: think it was like the it was somebody that worked
- 7:24Speaker 1: in the government in Florida to please wear a mask.
- 7:27Speaker 1: But she had not revealed her cancer. She was like,
- 7:29Speaker 1: you know, I am a person whose immune system is compromised,
- 7:33Speaker 1: and they refused to wear a mask. Yeah, you know
- 7:35Speaker 1: how crazy that is if somebody specifically says and everybody
- 7:39Speaker 1: in her office had their mask on, and they came in,
- 7:41Speaker 1: three of them in a small office with no masks on,
- 7:44Speaker 1: and that's uncomfortable, especially when you know you have health issues. Yeah, no, absolutely.
- 7:49Speaker 1: In funny if you if you take an over or
- 7:51Speaker 1: lift now, they have this thing sometimes where they make
- 7:54Speaker 1: you take a picture of yourself wearing a mask before
- 7:56Speaker 1: the call comes and get you. Yeah. I mean there's
- 7:58Speaker 1: a lot because people get into it over those masks
- 8:01Speaker 1: going into restaurants. You know, if there's requirements, there's requirements, absolutely,
- 8:05Speaker 1: and that is your front page news, all right, get
- 8:07Speaker 1: it off your chest eight hundred five eight five one

- 9:48Speaker 1: they say so many times in movies and TV shows
- 9:51Speaker 1: they always use fake fraternities and sororities for that reason. Well,
- 9:54Speaker 1: you can't attack a person for doing their role, and
- 9:57Speaker 1: which I which I never know this, by the way,

- 17:28Speaker 1: and then end up with a peach like Marlo Hampton.
- 17:30Speaker 1: Just what's so funny about that? I just think it's
- 17:32Speaker 1: funny that they give people fruits and people really be

- 17:38Speaker 1: validation all right. Now. Cynthia Bailey has said that she's

- 17:45Speaker 1: her to have that opportunity. But she did advise her
- 17:47Speaker 1: to pray and stay strong, pray to God every night.
- 17:51Speaker 1: Because Cynthia left the show, and so did Porsche and Porsche,

- 18:35Speaker 1: wasn't gonna be on Real Housewive. No, I'm like, she's
- 18:37Speaker 1: getting their own show, especially with all the drama. That
- 18:39Speaker 1: was a honor, absolutely all right now. Kevin Gates was
- 18:42Speaker 1: one million dollars worth the game with Gilly the Kidd
- 18:44Speaker 1: and Waller, and one thing that he talked about was
- 18:47Speaker 1: seeming retention. And he says that men should not ejaculate
- 18:50Speaker 1: during sex. It's like really healing to your body. It's
- 18:53Speaker 1: gonna sound crazy, it's seeming retention. You can have six.
- 18:57Speaker 1: Your intention should be to please your pardon and don't
- 19:00Speaker 1: at least no seemen. If you feel like you're about
- 19:01Speaker 1: to at least stop. It just is just gonna hear
- 19:04Speaker 1: your central nervous system and everything you hear your brain.
- 19:07Speaker 1: You say, you gotta have a mean pullout. That's like
- 19:09Speaker 1: going to the gun range and loot. It's about I
- 19:13Speaker 1: ain't gonna say pull out game for me, it's about
- 19:16Speaker 1: knowing your body engage on a lot of four player.
- 19:18Speaker 1: When I say four player, I mean I like the
- 19:20Speaker 1: kids everything, and it's just me. I ain't gonna please
- 19:23Speaker 1: my partner. Can I make you? I'm not a Let
- 19:26Speaker 1: me see all that is true, though, I mean seeming
- 19:28Speaker 1: retention is a real thing and it's benefits to it.
- 19:30Speaker 1: I don't I don't know if it's something you're supposed
- 19:32Speaker 1: to do all the time. I thought it was something
- 19:33Speaker 1: people do, like, you know, a couple of weeks at
- 19:35Speaker 1: a time at the time. Obviously I don't do it.
- 19:37Speaker 1: I got five kids, one all the way. Yeah, I've
- 19:39Speaker 1: tried it before, but I can't do it. I don't
- 19:41Speaker 1: have to blue. I don't know if I'm allowed to
- 19:44Speaker 1: say down the air for blue blue testicles. It's a
- 19:46Speaker 1: phrase for that. What's the term. It's a technical term.
- 19:48Speaker 1: I can't remember it right now. Anyway. They call it edging.
- 19:51Speaker 1: But then I thought, eventually you let it go. It's
- 19:54Speaker 1: it's they said, you get higher energy levels and better
- 19:56Speaker 1: sleep and muscle growth and like improves your focus and content.
- 20:00Speaker 1: Like that's a real thing. Like that's not a so
- 20:01Speaker 1: you won't be in pain and have a stomach. I've
- 20:04Speaker 1: never done it, but it's the thing seeming. Retention is
- 20:07Speaker 1: an actual thing that I sleep just fine right after.
- 20:11Speaker 1: Actually better retain. No, I don't retain problem. I got
- 20:15Speaker 1: five kids. I don't retain nothing. All right, Now, Three
- 20:17Speaker 1: former NFL players were sentenced for defrauding the healthcare program,
- 20:21Speaker 1: and so Correll Buckhalter, who played for the Philadelphia Eagles
- 20:24Speaker 1: and Deborah Broncos, was given ten months prison time followed
- 20:28Speaker 1: by as many months of house arrest. The other two
- 20:30Speaker 1: ex players, Anthony Montgomery and Dara Reid, were sentenced to
- 20:35Speaker 1: ten months house arrest. They pleaded guilty to conspiracy to
- 20:39Speaker 1: commit healthcare fraud. They are among fifteen players who pleaded
- 20:43Speaker 1: guilty in the case. So in all, we didn't hear
- 20:45Speaker 1: about that when we had player NBA one crazy. We
- 20:47Speaker 1: didn't hear about the NFL. Yes, and all the players
- 20:49Speaker 1: submitted more than three point nine million dollars in fraudulent claims,
- 20:52Speaker 1: according to prosecutors. So eight of them pleaded guilty in
- 20:56Speaker 1: the case, and who pleaded guilty in the case have
- 20:58Speaker 1: been sentenced according to that report. All right, I'm Manzela
- 21:02Speaker 1: Yee and that is your rumor report. All right, now
- 21:04Speaker 1: we got front page news next. What we're talking about, Yes,
- 21:06Speaker 1: and let's talk about the mad aurberry and why they're
- 21:08Speaker 1: having difficulty finding jurors for that trial. All right, we'll
- 21:12Speaker 1: get into that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Come morning,
- 21:14Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club. Your morning's will never be the same.
- 21:19Speaker 1: Everybody's talking about TikTok right now, even sports fans. Now, Charlemagne,

- 21:24Speaker 1: football and trying to show me TikTok because your team
- 21:26Speaker 1: is on there. That fans are on there, the players
- 21:28Speaker 1: are on there. This is where the real talk is happening.
- 21:31Speaker 1: There's like literally everything you could think of right now
- 21:33Speaker 1: on TikTok. You just gotta see it. Here we go
- 21:37Speaker 1: out now some new music. Who that is wild Side
- 21:43Speaker 1: and Cardy B. That's new I think I've been That's

- 21:50Speaker 1: there's new music. You confuse me. I'm old them Like damn,
- 21:53Speaker 1: I thought I heard this record, and so in my
- 21:55Speaker 1: mind I'd be like I thought I heard this record,
- 21:57Speaker 1: but maybe I did you know what to play? Give
- 21:58Speaker 1: you on the R again that morning, everybody for a minute,
- 22:04Speaker 1: Angelie Charlemagne, the guy, we are to breakfast club. Let's
- 22:06Speaker 1: getting some front page news in Monday night football the
- 22:10Speaker 1: same speak the Seahawks thirteen ten now Major League Baseball
- 22:14Speaker 1: World Series. Game one is tonight. The Braves take on
- 22:16Speaker 1: the Astros at eight or nine pm. Now what else
- 22:19Speaker 1: we got easy, Well, they are trying to find jurors
- 22:21Speaker 1: for the trial of the three men charge in Ahmad
- 22:23Speaker 1: Arberry's killing. Those three man Gregory McMichael, has son Travis McMichael,
- 22:28Speaker 1: and their neighbor, their neighbor William Roddie Bryan Junior. They
- 22:32Speaker 1: are going on trial for malice, felony and felony murder.
- 22:37Speaker 1: So they have pleaded not guilty, but they're also facing
- 22:39Speaker 1: charges of aggravated assault to false imprisonment and a criminal
- 22:42Speaker 1: attempt to commit false imprisonment. The problem is a lot
- 22:46Speaker 1: of people already have strong opinions, know about the case,
- 22:49Speaker 1: and even personally know people involved in the case, so
- 22:53Speaker 1: perspective jurors already have pretty much formed their opinion. And
- 22:57Speaker 1: also some people feel like there'll be real world repercussions.
- 23:00Speaker 1: One woman who was a perspective Jara, said that she
- 23:03Speaker 1: is concerned about how polarizing the case has been been
- 23:06Speaker 1: among the community. She said, I think it would be
- 23:09Speaker 1: naive to think that in the world world there wouldn't
- 23:11Speaker 1: be repercussions from this. But there's only repercussions if you
- 23:14Speaker 1: don't do the right thing. Like you we all saw
- 23:15Speaker 1: the video, you know what I mean, So you know
- 23:18Speaker 1: that the brother was innocent. So it's just like the
- 23:21Speaker 1: brother got killed for nothing because people want to be
- 23:24Speaker 1: vigilantes for no reason, just because they feel like they
- 23:26Speaker 1: can police blackness. So there's only real world repercussions if
- 23:30Speaker 1: you don't do the right thing. And then some people
- 23:32Speaker 1: are saying that they already have their opinion for hims
- 23:34Speaker 1: and it would be difficult to change their mind. One
- 23:36Speaker 1: potential Jared, said he fears there will be only one
- 23:39Speaker 1: verdict that's accepted in today's climate, and if that verdict
- 23:42Speaker 1: is not returned, some may threaten violence again. So because
- 23:47Speaker 1: we all saw the video. Yeah, but you know that's
- 23:50Speaker 1: the problem, because you're not supposed to know about the case. Impossible,
- 23:54Speaker 1: That's why it's impossible. That's why they're saying it's impossible
- 23:56Speaker 1: because everybody has seen it. One person's like, I already
- 23:59Speaker 1: saw the video, but I'm listening to the words that's
- 24:01Speaker 1: coming out to guy's mouth. The guy said, there's only
- 24:04Speaker 1: one verdict that would be acceptable. Yeah, because we all
- 24:07Speaker 1: saw the video and we know who was clearly in
- 24:09Speaker 1: the wrong in this situation, right, and so it kind
- 24:11Speaker 1: of your mind is made up. It's the only thing.
- 24:14Speaker 1: But as a juror, it's not supposed to be made up.
- 24:16Speaker 1: What are you going? That's why it's difficult. You got
- 24:18Speaker 1: to rip up them old playbooks because we live in
- 24:20Speaker 1: a whole new world and if we're still if we're
- 24:22Speaker 1: still moving off that old playbook, then God bless them. See,
- 24:25Speaker 1: they have to select you. So when they ask you
- 24:27Speaker 1: questions and you say something like I already know the answer,
- 24:31Speaker 1: don't you think they should adjust the rules for the
- 24:33Speaker 1: era that we're in. Yeah, it's hard to not know
- 24:35Speaker 1: about absolutely impossible, all right. Now. New Jersey and New
- 24:39Speaker 1: York have issued states of emergency ahead of the northeaster,
- 24:42Speaker 1: and so, as you guys know from driving in this morning,
- 24:46Speaker 1: they said widespread totals of two to five inches rainfour
- 24:49Speaker 1: rates were will exceed one inch per hour at times.
- 24:52Speaker 1: But in California, they had a bomb cyclone and so
- 24:56Speaker 1: that unleashed mud slides and flooding and triggered widespread power
- 25:00Speaker 1: outages in California, power lines tumble. More than one hundred
- 25:03Speaker 1: thousand homes and businesses are in the dark, and another
- 25:06Speaker 1: fifty thousand power customers were affected across Washington State. So
- 25:10Speaker 1: they are saying those bomb cyclone storms are moving east
- 25:13Speaker 1: as well. Yeah, they're saying that we're gonna have some
- 25:15Speaker 1: power outages on this side. And they're saying a lot
- 25:17Speaker 1: of people who got flooded from item might get flooded again.
- 25:20Speaker 1: So I know the state and government was handing out
- 25:23Speaker 1: sandbags to try to help people yesterday last night. Yeah,
- 25:26Speaker 1: so by the week's end, they said these bomb cyclones
- 25:28Speaker 1: also will be coming here towards the east by the
- 25:31Speaker 1: end of the week too, So just take it seriously. Hello,
- 25:35Speaker 1: So this is different than the Nori Nori getting coming
- 25:40Speaker 1: at the end of this week, so ready for that
- 25:43Speaker 1: all weeks christ it nori going on right now? Nori
- 25:48Speaker 1: got Mother Nature drunk? Okay, all right, well that is
- 25:52Speaker 1: your front page all right now? When we come back.
- 25:55Speaker 1: We have three special guests joining us. We have the
- 25:57Speaker 1: president of Pepsi's Southern division, Derek Lewis, joining us. He's
- 26:01Speaker 1: a Hampton alumni, so shout out to him. We also
- 26:04Speaker 1: have Pinky Coles, who was the owner of Slutty Vegan,
- 26:07Speaker 1: and we have Derek Hayes, the owner of Big Dave
- 26:10Speaker 1: Cheese Steaks. So we're gonna be talking to all of
- 26:11Speaker 1: them when we come back about this initiative that Pepsi's
- 26:14Speaker 1: doing to try to get more money to HBCU businesses,
- 26:18Speaker 1: HBCU students, black businesses and more. So we're gonna talk
- 26:21Speaker 1: to them when we come back, So don't move. It's
- 26:23Speaker 1: to breakfast club. Good morning, the breakfast Club Morning. Everybody
- 26:30Speaker 1: is DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are
- 26:33Speaker 1: the breakfast Club. He got some special guests joining us today.
- 26:36Speaker 1: I've been seeing a lot recently. We got the brother
- 26:39Speaker 1: Derek Lewis from PEPSI. Welcome brothers. Also, he went to
- 26:43Speaker 1: the real hud By the way. You know. We have
- 26:49Speaker 1: Pinky Cole. What's that? What's that? I'm doing good? I
- 26:52Speaker 1: feel good. I'm happy to be here. Look happy, Look good,
- 26:55Speaker 1: I'm happy we got Derek Hayes. What up, brother? What's up? Bro?
- 26:59Speaker 1: You bring no chee stays today? Bro? I got you
- 27:02Speaker 1: next time definitely happen. We about to just started walking
- 27:03Speaker 1: with food. You can't be coming here without my burger, right.
- 27:08Speaker 1: So now what's going on? Because I mean you what
- 27:10Speaker 1: you're doing huh right? So what you've done with Pepsi
- 27:21Speaker 1: is amazing. I mean you brought Pepsi to a lot
- 27:22Speaker 1: of the HBCUs, a lot of the black events, and
- 27:24Speaker 1: you're giving back to the different colleges and just our community.
- 27:28Speaker 1: So how did that get started? Well, let me start
- 27:31Speaker 1: what she Got Now. You were obviously part of that
- 27:32Speaker 1: back at Hampton a couple of weeks ago, which is outstanding.
- 27:35Speaker 1: So for the third year now, in partnership with Essence,
- 27:37Speaker 1: we brought back She Got Now back to campus. It's
- 27:40Speaker 1: a multi tiered program and so it's really focused on,
- 27:43Speaker 1: you know, celebrating, supporting and honoring young Black women or HBCUs. Right,
- 27:48Speaker 1: and so the main thing that we focused on obviously
- 27:50Speaker 1: the activation homecomers around internships that we talked about before that.
- 27:54Speaker 1: Let me get started with how we got here. You
- 27:56Speaker 1: think about what's happening in Corporate America. Really, you know,
- 28:00Speaker 1: the board is the underrepresentation of black women in the space, right,
- 28:04Speaker 1: And so before we got to all the events of
- 28:06Speaker 1: twenty twenty and what's happened since then, we were already
- 28:08Speaker 1: on this journey to go actively recruit and promote black
- 28:12Speaker 1: women inside the workplace, and so we developed that idea
- 28:15Speaker 1: three years ago. We started that program she Got Now
- 28:18Speaker 1: it's in the third year. We've got women that are
- 28:20Speaker 1: now full time hires inside the corporation. So it's a
- 28:23Speaker 1: multi pronged approach at really driving the quality around these
- 28:27Speaker 1: pillars at people, business, and community, and our special guests
- 28:31Speaker 1: here are also big been a big part of that.
- 28:32Speaker 1: But we were excited to get that off the ground.
- 28:34Speaker 1: We got a lot of applicants. We're gonna have a
- 28:37Speaker 1: big event down to Florida Florida Classic here in November twentieth.
- 28:40Speaker 1: That will also be a big blowout. We're gonna be
- 28:42Speaker 1: actively recruiting. And then obviously the website's alive, so at
- 28:45Speaker 1: Essence dot com forward Slash we got Now. So we're
- 28:48Speaker 1: looking for thousands of students to apply and we're gonna
- 28:51Speaker 1: land twelve internships for the summer, and we're gonna look
- 28:53Speaker 1: to gather as many of those, hopefully all of them
- 28:55Speaker 1: will come back and full time status. Before we get
- 28:57Speaker 1: to Pinky and Derek YG Derek Young Og, how did
- 29:03Speaker 1: a brother get in such a high position in Pepsi,
- 29:05Speaker 1: Because that's a position that you just never would think
- 29:07Speaker 1: you would see a brother a black person there. You
- 29:09Speaker 1: would think it's the good old boy and never let
- 29:12Speaker 1: us in. So talk about how you've got to Pepsi
- 29:15Speaker 1: and how you got to that position in Pepsi because
- 29:17Speaker 1: that's something that we don't rarely see. Yeah, you know,
- 29:18Speaker 1: you're right, I'm looking. I'm an og. I'ma grew up
- 29:20Speaker 1: into Chocolate City man, so I'm a DC boy, wrote
- 29:23Speaker 1: back and really in the seventies and early eighties, I
- 29:26Speaker 1: was only one of really six in my family to
- 29:28Speaker 1: actually make it and get it to college and get
- 29:30Speaker 1: through college. But you know, LLOK, Hampton was a special place.
- 29:33Speaker 1: It really laid a foundation for for my life and experiences.
- 29:36Speaker 1: There's why I'm so committed to a spec using experiences
- 29:39Speaker 1: because it really transformed my life. You gotta think about it.
- 29:41Speaker 1: I went to Hampton. I was a business major, so
- 29:44Speaker 1: I wanted major in business management. I did that successfully
- 29:46Speaker 1: graduate of the business management degree plays capital Yo, yo,
- 29:49Speaker 1: tell my nups out there. I got throw some a
- 29:51Speaker 1: lot of my nups out there. I was voted mister
- 29:54Speaker 1: Business Club. It's the only election I'd probably ever want
- 29:56Speaker 1: in my life, a business club. I've got to run
- 29:58Speaker 1: the Business Club school, which it was a big dream
- 30:00Speaker 1: of mine. I met my wife there, right, and we've
- 30:02Speaker 1: been happily married for twenty nine years. And right, so
- 30:04Speaker 1: you think we're got about the foundation. And I got
- 30:06Speaker 1: my job with PEPSI, and it was interested because the
- 30:09Speaker 1: first time I interviewed PEPSI, I wasn't no my a game.
- 30:11Speaker 1: I was hanging out party and I think I could
- 30:14Speaker 1: just show up at the interview and I got rejected.
- 30:16Speaker 1: I got a rejection letter from them. So when I
- 30:18Speaker 1: got that letter, and I had other job boters, but
- 30:19Speaker 1: PEPSI was where I really wanted to go, and I
- 30:22Speaker 1: knew it was disappointed. It came back a second time
- 30:25Speaker 1: absolutely made sure I was ready to go for that interview.
- 30:28Speaker 1: I got that interview, I got accepted, and the rest
- 30:31Speaker 1: is history. And so I've been there now thirty three
- 30:32Speaker 1: and a half years. I've lived all over the country.
- 30:36Speaker 1: I've done a tremendous amount of different roles, whether operating roles,
- 30:39Speaker 1: selling roles, headquarter roles. I've been a very impactful on
- 30:43Speaker 1: the diversity di adg end. I've been co chairing, advisory
- 30:46Speaker 1: board sponsor for a mosaic group. Now I'm front and
- 30:50Speaker 1: center helping leading this raj racial quality during it we're
- 30:52Speaker 1: on and it's been fantastic. I feel obligated to lean in.
- 30:56Speaker 1: I've been given so many opportunities and breaks, some blessings
- 30:58Speaker 1: that I never thought I could dream so big? But
- 31:00Speaker 1: can I can? I can? I give you your flower's
- 31:02Speaker 1: real quick though. I'm sorry I got to interject because
- 31:04Speaker 1: I'm sitting here. So in the hallway we talked about
- 31:07Speaker 1: like we ain't supposed to be here, right, So to
- 31:10Speaker 1: see a black man that's educated, that's not seen as
- 31:14Speaker 1: a threat in such a high space like that, Like
- 31:17Speaker 1: that's big. To be able to be on a platform
- 31:20Speaker 1: like this and be able to speak to people a
- 31:22Speaker 1: mask group of people and be able to make decisions
- 31:25Speaker 1: sound decisions for things that can happen like that ain't
- 31:27Speaker 1: nothing to play with. So like he's being modest, Like
- 31:31Speaker 1: that's like, yeah, you know I've done this. That's great,
- 31:33Speaker 1: but like you to show people in position too, and
- 31:36Speaker 1: putting people in position like I admire that. And to
- 31:39Speaker 1: even be in your atmosphere right now, like to be here.
- 31:43Speaker 1: You got to walk to talk. I'm true, I'm walking
- 31:45Speaker 1: to talk. Keeping it real. I keep it real to you,
- 31:47Speaker 1: I keep it real. Yauys on me. Yeah, it's been
- 31:50Speaker 1: a tremendous blessing. There's still a lot of more work
- 31:51Speaker 1: to go do. I feel the responsibility to carry this forward.
- 31:55Speaker 1: I will carry this forward and make the impact that
- 31:58Speaker 1: I know that I can make, that I know our
- 31:59Speaker 1: company can make, and on our community care making. So
- 32:01Speaker 1: you know count me as one of those all in
- 32:03Speaker 1: God's will make sure things out all right. We have
- 32:05Speaker 1: more with Derek Lewis, Derek Hayes, and Pinky Cole. She's
- 32:08Speaker 1: the owner of Slutty Vegan, the owner of Big Dave
- 32:10Speaker 1: Cheese Steaks and the president of Pepsi's Southern Division. It's
- 32:13Speaker 1: the breakfast club, Good Morning Banning. Everybody is cej Envy
- 32:17Speaker 1: Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the breakfast club.
- 32:20Speaker 1: We're still kicking it with Derek Lewis, which is the
- 32:22Speaker 1: president of the Southern Division of PEPSI also Derek Hayes,
- 32:25Speaker 1: the owner of Big Dave's Cheese Steak and also Pinky Cole,
- 32:30Speaker 1: Slutty Vegan and Delicious, absolutely amazing. She bull me of
- 32:34Speaker 1: burgers for me to try and day when I was
- 32:40Speaker 1: when I was in Atlanta, the line was so long
- 32:42Speaker 1: at her food truck. I wanted to go over there
- 32:44Speaker 1: because I've been hearing about Slutty Vegan, and I was like,
- 32:47Speaker 1: I didn't have time, but she actually has the money. Come.
- 32:49Speaker 1: They brought me to burger and I killed it. And
- 32:52Speaker 1: you know what I did to make sure that you
- 32:53Speaker 1: got that burger? Like it was you're really hungry about
- 32:56Speaker 1: your dream, the fact to be here. So let me
- 32:59Speaker 1: let me get some background. I started Slutty Vegan in
- 33:02Speaker 1: twenty eighteen, and before that had already had my dream job.
- 33:06Speaker 1: I was a casting director for one of the biggest shows.
- 33:09Speaker 1: I was a producer for The Mori Show. Like I
- 33:10Speaker 1: was in TV and it's definitely the Fire. But yeah,
- 33:21Speaker 1: so like I worked in TV, so I had my
- 33:23Speaker 1: dream job already. But I opened up a restaurant in
- 33:26Speaker 1: Harlem back in the day, and I was selling jerk chicken.
- 33:30Speaker 1: I was a vegan selling jerk chicken, right, but I
- 33:32Speaker 1: knew that that wasn't an alignment with who I was.
- 33:34Speaker 1: Long story short, had a grease fire, lost everything, car
- 33:37Speaker 1: got repolled, apartment got evicted out of it literally, and
- 33:40Speaker 1: I'm the person that everything that I touched turned to go.
- 33:43Speaker 1: So this time, I'm like, damn, I lost that. What
- 33:45Speaker 1: am I going to do? So I got an opportunity
- 33:47Speaker 1: to work on a big TV show on the own
- 33:49Speaker 1: network and they moved me to Atlanta from La So
- 33:52Speaker 1: I'm in Atlanta and in my head, I'm just like, damn,
- 33:55Speaker 1: I want some vegan late nank food and shout out
- 33:57Speaker 1: to all the vegan restaurants in Atlanta. Great food, but
- 34:00Speaker 1: out of them close early. So I was sitting there
- 34:02Speaker 1: and I came up with slutty Vegan like a lightbulb.
- 34:04Speaker 1: The next thing I did was started researching everything, and
- 34:07Speaker 1: again I had no idea that this would be one
- 34:10Speaker 1: of the hottest concepts in the country. And three years
- 34:12Speaker 1: later I went from being in a ghost kitchen to
- 34:15Speaker 1: having two food trucks, to having four locations, to be
- 34:18Speaker 1: about to open up twenty locations, all because of the
- 34:21Speaker 1: simple idea that I came up in my bedroom with
- 34:24Speaker 1: So I'm excited what Slutty Vegan has done. Like it's
- 34:27Speaker 1: more than just burghers, pots and fries. Right, I don't
- 34:29Speaker 1: just sell food, no, more like I really inject the
- 34:32Speaker 1: cultural capital into the community through an ecosystem to help
- 34:35Speaker 1: other people. Went, you did something with shake check too, right, Yeah,
- 34:38Speaker 1: collab and I saw that you had given people money
- 34:41Speaker 1: during the pandemic other restaurants. So I paid the rent
- 34:44Speaker 1: for local restaurant owners. I donated fruits and vegetables to
- 34:49Speaker 1: the whole community. I gave out coats, I gave out money.
- 34:52Speaker 1: I helped pay the balances for thirty college students at
- 34:55Speaker 1: Clarkland University. Shout out to CiU and me and Derek
- 34:59Speaker 1: together just launched an initiative. When we're helping every single
- 35:02Speaker 1: black man in Atlanta get life insurance that they don't
- 35:04Speaker 1: have to pay for. They choose their own beneficiary, they
- 35:08Speaker 1: choose a policy. We don't get nothing from it. How
- 35:10Speaker 1: does that work? Oh, they can go to Pinky gisback
- 35:13Speaker 1: dot com and you can sign up now. Derek is
- 35:16Speaker 1: the reason. Derek Hays is the reason why I gained
- 35:19Speaker 1: some weight in the last couple of weeks. I was
- 35:21Speaker 1: minding my business on hand the campus, waiting for my
- 35:24Speaker 1: cheese steak, and he said, Envy, the cheese steak ain't
- 35:25Speaker 1: Ready's gonna take about ten minutes, but take these egg rolls.
- 35:29Speaker 1: And I didn't had about ten egg rolls. And now
- 35:31Speaker 1: I heard about thank you. Now talk about how you
- 35:34Speaker 1: got into the business that you have. So for one
- 35:37Speaker 1: of my journey is like like a roller coaster. I
- 35:39Speaker 1: come from West Philly, so when I came to Atlanta,
- 35:42Speaker 1: I wanted to do something. Wanted to change my life.
- 35:44Speaker 1: I wanted to get out the streets. So I wanted
- 35:45Speaker 1: to be a cultural impact. So I started It's called
- 35:49Speaker 1: Days Philly word ice. All I saw was all I
- 35:51Speaker 1: saw was word ice. And then I started selling cheese steaks.
- 35:53Speaker 1: In two thousand and sixteen. I name my business after
- 35:56Speaker 1: my father. He passed away from lung cancer, so I'll
- 35:58Speaker 1: actually watch my dad to take his last breath. So
- 36:01Speaker 1: for me, it was never about the money. I just
- 36:03Speaker 1: wanted to be impactful. So when I started, you know,
- 36:07Speaker 1: you know, people start paying attention to me and shout
- 36:09Speaker 1: out to Eve because Eve was one of the first
- 36:11Speaker 1: celebrities that ever supported ev. You know, she from Philly.
- 36:15Speaker 1: Two yeah, yeah, So she definitely was a big part
- 36:19Speaker 1: of my story because when I started in the last
- 36:21Speaker 1: seven hundred and forty nine square for a gas station,
- 36:23Speaker 1: I literally thought that I was gonna have lines out
- 36:25Speaker 1: of the door when I brung a cheese steak to Atlanta.
- 36:27Speaker 1: But I didn't have no lines. So I'm like, damn,
- 36:29Speaker 1: what I'm gonna do. I came out with a bunch
- 36:32Speaker 1: of money, I parted it all the way and this
- 36:33Speaker 1: is the last thing I got is my dream. So
- 36:36Speaker 1: you know, she knew somebody that was connected, you know,
- 36:39Speaker 1: and then she came through and she said, I'm knock
- 36:41Speaker 1: gonna bite the sandwich, you know, and they're not gonna
- 36:44Speaker 1: get it if it's not official. So she bid it.
- 36:46Speaker 1: The next thing, you know, she posts to all her
- 36:49Speaker 1: social media networks. I started having lines wow, and every
- 36:52Speaker 1: day every day. But the thing is, out of all
- 36:55Speaker 1: the lines, I used to pull up to my locations
- 36:57Speaker 1: and I would literally drop a tear in the car,
- 36:59Speaker 1: like dang, I really did it. Somebody like me tattoos
- 37:02Speaker 1: all on my body. I'm sitting at the table now
- 37:05Speaker 1: with billionaires. I'm getting respected differently because I believed in
- 37:08Speaker 1: my dream and I didn't give up because I believed
- 37:10Speaker 1: in the impact. Even like when the pandemic hit, I
- 37:14Speaker 1: was giving out a thousand meals to the community no
- 37:17Speaker 1: charge at all, because I know these other people are
- 37:19Speaker 1: the reason why I'm here. And then I'll start feeding
- 37:21Speaker 1: the hospitals every single day. So when they speak of
- 37:24Speaker 1: Derek Hayes, when they speak a big Dave cheese stakes,
- 37:27Speaker 1: that's what I'm about. I'm about bringing up the impact
- 37:29Speaker 1: in the communities. And that's why now I got ninety
- 37:31Speaker 1: employees right now to location is about to have eight
- 37:35Speaker 1: rosen everywhere, so everywhere, So that's it. One thing you
- 37:41Speaker 1: said earlier that's so true. Also is the research right,
- 37:44Speaker 1: because you talked about how you had never done this before,
- 37:46Speaker 1: but you sat down and did the research because it's
- 37:48Speaker 1: not you manifest it. But then you also really have
- 37:51Speaker 1: to put the work in. You gotta put the work in, right,
- 37:54Speaker 1: I was telling I was telling Derek, Derek, it's one
- 38:00Speaker 1: thing to do it. It's another thing to put your
- 38:02Speaker 1: money where your mouth fits, put your research where you're like,
- 38:05Speaker 1: do the work, and when you do the work, you
- 38:07Speaker 1: will see the success. The reason why you envy and
- 38:10Speaker 1: you Angela get in Charlemagne and everybody else is at
- 38:13Speaker 1: this point in life. It's because we were consistent about
- 38:15Speaker 1: doing the work. But the reward gonna be great or later.
- 38:18Speaker 1: Because when you see people you know in no siate
- 38:20Speaker 1: that nobody that party. But you gotta knowing a party
- 38:22Speaker 1: at the right time. Yeah, ain't together. Why are you
- 38:24Speaker 1: out there blowing the bag? Because you got everybody in
- 38:27Speaker 1: this world got vice. You literally have to pitch your
- 38:30Speaker 1: vice to the side, like you're going to rehab to
- 38:32Speaker 1: be able to get your life together, to be able
- 38:33Speaker 1: to get to the next level. So if you don't
- 38:35Speaker 1: be able to do that, you're gonna stay stagned. You're
- 38:37Speaker 1: gonna into spending weel like a guinea pig. You're gonna
- 38:39Speaker 1: keep going on around. If you were trying to save
- 38:40Speaker 1: one hundred thousand dollars and then the weekend you're blowing
- 38:43Speaker 1: five or six or a weekend in the club, you
- 38:45Speaker 1: ain't gonna ever get to the hunting ground. Yeah, you
- 38:47Speaker 1: see what I'm saying. So you got to have discipline
- 38:48Speaker 1: on what you want. And let's start with patience. Nobody
- 38:50Speaker 1: in life can get to the next level without patience.
- 38:52Speaker 1: Once you get the patience and you get the use
- 38:54Speaker 1: to the people's staying and you say it's cool because
- 38:56Speaker 1: guess what, I'm gonna be there and it's not gonna
- 38:59Speaker 1: feel like No. Three, I'm gonna stay there because I'm
- 39:01Speaker 1: gonna build my foundation that's gonna be build generational income
- 39:04Speaker 1: that's gonna be built, residual income each month, that's gonna
- 39:08Speaker 1: be able to take care of all your dreams and
- 39:09Speaker 1: your builds that you need to do. And now, if
- 39:11Speaker 1: you got kids, they straight I would tell any manness
- 39:14Speaker 1: you ain't a man until when you leave this world,
- 39:18Speaker 1: you're still taking care of your kids from the casket, right,
- 39:20Speaker 1: That's why it's insurance. Yeah, that's why. That's why how
- 39:24Speaker 1: many people we all know who have passed away that
- 39:26Speaker 1: did not and they could have seemed so it's been successful,
- 39:30Speaker 1: but then they passed away and you realize they didn't
- 39:32Speaker 1: have life insurance or the bag wasn't there, but their
- 39:35Speaker 1: finances wasn't together. I mean, it's I mean, because it's
- 39:37Speaker 1: just not about life and death either. It's about financial literacy,
- 39:40Speaker 1: knowing that you could pull against your policy, like a
- 39:42Speaker 1: lot of black people don't know that, and I'm speaking
- 39:45Speaker 1: from experience. So now we are being a change that
- 39:47Speaker 1: we wish to see. Where one campaign is the life
- 39:49Speaker 1: insurance campaign that man, Pinky, we're doing right now and
- 39:54Speaker 1: it's no gimmes behind it. If you're a black man,
- 39:56Speaker 1: you come in there and sign up if you make
- 39:58Speaker 1: thirty thousand dollars less than income, trying to sign up
- 40:00Speaker 1: twenty five thousand black men by year twenty three. And
- 40:03Speaker 1: we got other programs in it all right. We have
- 40:06Speaker 1: more with Derek Lewis, Derek Hayes and Pinky Cole. She's
- 40:09Speaker 1: the owner of Slutty Vegan, the owner of Big dave
- 40:11Speaker 1: Cheese Steaks and the president of Pepsi's Southern division. It's
- 40:14Speaker 1: the breakfast club. Good morning morning. Everybody is cj Envy,
- 40:18Speaker 1: Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the breakfast club.
- 40:21Speaker 1: We're still kicking it with Derek Lewis, which is the
- 40:23Speaker 1: president of the Southern division of PEPSI. Also Derek Hayes,
- 40:26Speaker 1: the owner of Big Dave's Cheese Steak, and also Pinky Cole. Now,
- 40:31Speaker 1: Derek og, Derek, what's next for Pepsi? Because I know
- 40:34Speaker 1: PEPSI does so much that she got now campaign all
- 40:37Speaker 1: the stuff they do for the HBCUs, all the scholarships
- 40:39Speaker 1: that they do. What's next for PEPSI that people can say, Hey,
- 40:42Speaker 1: I need to get in on this and maybe help myself. Well, look,
- 40:45Speaker 1: I mean we're it's constantly moving, right, the bars constant
- 40:47Speaker 1: moving for us. Right. If you think about this, are
- 40:49Speaker 1: e J racial quality drum on the pillars the key
- 40:52Speaker 1: pillars of people, business and community, and I think in
- 40:55Speaker 1: other people it goes without saying, we're trying to drive
- 40:57Speaker 1: representation and we're trying to show your affecting back culture
- 41:00Speaker 1: that's inside our company and outside our company. If you
- 41:02Speaker 1: get to this business pillar, you really are focused on
- 41:05Speaker 1: how do you drive support for black owned businesses my
- 41:07Speaker 1: own minority own business in total, but black owned businesses
- 41:10Speaker 1: in this case, This digging platform, I think is very
- 41:12Speaker 1: special because it's really created the impact of driving economic
- 41:16Speaker 1: impact for the black consumers and certainly the black restaurant
- 41:20Speaker 1: owners that are out there. I think it's way for
- 41:22Speaker 1: us to do that. And then you go to this
- 41:23Speaker 1: community pillar, and it's all about Pepsi's stronger together. Look,
- 41:25Speaker 1: we've leaned in so many different ways where startouts response
- 41:28Speaker 1: to COVID now is evolved to many many different ways.
- 41:30Speaker 1: It's educational platforms, sustainability platforms, different calls, related platforms, domestic abuse,
- 41:35Speaker 1: the escalation training, or law enforcement. I mean, we are
- 41:38Speaker 1: tailoring the needs to those communities. It's it difficult for
- 41:41Speaker 1: PEPSI to get involved because you know, when you go
- 41:43Speaker 1: to a lot of these these other schools, not HBCUs,
- 41:46Speaker 1: these big colleges. You see all these big brand names,
- 41:48Speaker 1: whether it's car manufacturers or soda companies or liquor companies
- 41:52Speaker 1: or whatever it may be, they always sponsored the big schools,
- 41:54Speaker 1: whether it's the Duke, it's the you don't really see
- 41:57Speaker 1: that hbc you I mean going to HBCU, I've never
- 42:00Speaker 1: seen that. There was never no big is at the school,
- 42:04Speaker 1: you know. So was it difficult to get PEPSI aboard
- 42:07Speaker 1: for that? No? No, I mean look again, we've been
- 42:09Speaker 1: doing that work before. I've been a champion of HBCUs
- 42:12Speaker 1: for years. I've gone there, right, And so what happened
- 42:14Speaker 1: I think this was all the twenty twenty is we've
- 42:17Speaker 1: been able to amplify it. We've just leaned in more
- 42:19Speaker 1: than what we have before. I mean, we just announced
- 42:21Speaker 1: our partnership with the Swhack. That was a new relationship
- 42:24Speaker 1: we built, so that gave us a lot of access
- 42:25Speaker 1: now and really the southernmost part of our region United
- 42:28Speaker 1: States where we don't necessarily have that much access. But
- 42:30Speaker 1: now we're helping involved with the Swhack. We worked with
- 42:32Speaker 1: Coach Prime Coach Problem and are really good friends. We've
- 42:34Speaker 1: done a tremendous amount of activation with him and Problem.
- 42:42Speaker 1: That's my man, that's my guy. But but things like that,
- 42:44Speaker 1: So those are all the things at our next level,
- 42:46Speaker 1: the partnerships, the collaborations Shaquille Neil Foundation. He's been big
- 42:51Speaker 1: for us in the Pepsi'stronger Together space. He's done tremendous
- 42:53Speaker 1: worked with us. We've leaned in with him at a
- 42:55Speaker 1: number of different causes just in the last year and change,
- 42:58Speaker 1: and so we want to keep going. This is the
- 43:00Speaker 1: perfect example how big businesses should really like infuse their
- 43:04Speaker 1: resources and support into small businesses because what's happening is
- 43:09Speaker 1: is your support and your dollars to help these growing
- 43:12Speaker 1: small owned, women owned, black owned businesses will help them
- 43:15Speaker 1: to be better. Right, and when they become better, it
- 43:18Speaker 1: creates a bigger ecosystem. Right, So now in black owned companies,
- 43:23Speaker 1: they could get paid better, right, better benefits scaling companies,
- 43:27Speaker 1: more businesses that sustained, more black people can get a
- 43:31Speaker 1: proof of more loans. Like there is such a ripple
- 43:33Speaker 1: effect when big corporations help those smaller businesses come up.
- 43:38Speaker 1: And the fact that y'all are doing it, I really
- 43:40Speaker 1: want other big businesses to follow some. I really like it.
- 43:44Speaker 1: It's writing the check, but also having the ground game.
- 43:46Speaker 1: I feel I take a lot of problem. We have
- 43:47Speaker 1: the ground games, you though, because even at the Assemily,
- 43:51Speaker 1: Like when I first met you, We're sitting there listening Derek,
- 43:54Speaker 1: and I'm like, hold up, yeah, president of PEPSI, Man,
- 43:57Speaker 1: no there, I'm not there. I'm yes, no, but okay,
- 44:04Speaker 1: Like I had to literally like I had to take
- 44:09Speaker 1: this in and I'm sitting there at the assembly we
- 44:11Speaker 1: had this business business assembly, he talking. I had to
- 44:14Speaker 1: raise my hand. I'm like, hey, listen, we did two
- 44:16Speaker 1: biggest businesses right now on Atlanta, right now. Why wein't
- 44:19Speaker 1: on a Pepsi there? When I tell you he put
- 44:23Speaker 1: his money where his mouth is. When it was a
- 44:25Speaker 1: week later, yeah, it was like yeah, yeah, It's like
- 44:31Speaker 1: it's like, you know, he had one, but he came
- 44:36Speaker 1: to see us because it was it was just like
- 44:39Speaker 1: you know, you can deliver a message to somebody and
- 44:42Speaker 1: it go went out the other you know this, I
- 44:44Speaker 1: got you, I got you. But what I mean, really
- 44:47Speaker 1: understood beside us every step of the way, Like I
- 44:50Speaker 1: just did Hampton and we're about to do the Florida Classic,
- 44:53Speaker 1: and we're about to be a part of a fund
- 44:55Speaker 1: of one hundred million dollars to keep that going. And
- 44:57Speaker 1: we are actually a part of the program and not
- 44:59Speaker 1: just wanting initiative and Pepsi drunk. I'm drinking pepsi. So
- 45:03Speaker 1: it's a real plus. And I want to take time
- 45:05Speaker 1: to promote this digging platform because it's really big. We're
- 45:08Speaker 1: trying to drive one hundred million dollars with sales revenues
- 45:11Speaker 1: through black owned restaurants naturally, right, so Pepsi created this
- 45:14Speaker 1: digging platform for black owned restaurants. November six is Digging Days,
- 45:18Speaker 1: or encouraging everybody across America go out and support a
- 45:22Speaker 1: blocked own restaurant that day. You can upload your receipts
- 45:24Speaker 1: on digging passport dot com. It can track your dolls
- 45:27Speaker 1: along the way to show your contribution towards hundred million dollars.
- 45:31Speaker 1: We hope to get over a number of years. And
- 45:33Speaker 1: it's so many, Uh, it's so many black owned restaurants
- 45:36Speaker 1: and businesses, like many of them shout the black colleges.
- 45:39Speaker 1: There's so many. So even though we here and we're
- 45:43Speaker 1: coming as restaurants, like we come as well, but we
- 45:46Speaker 1: stand as ten thousand. You don't how many local businesses
- 45:48Speaker 1: feel like they made it because two restaurant owners made

- 46:40Speaker 1: we the real ate you. By the way, just so
- 46:41Speaker 1: you know, it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning morning. Everybody
- 46:46Speaker 1: is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are
- 46:49Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors to talk
- 46:51Speaker 1: to Dave Chappelle. It's about this report to Angela Yee
- 47:01Speaker 1: on the Breakfast Club. Well, Dave Chappelle posted about five
- 47:06Speaker 1: minutes of him at a recent stand up where he's
- 47:08Speaker 1: addressing a lot of the controversy that's been happening, as
- 47:12Speaker 1: well as other tour dates of Dave Chappelle and Friends
- 47:15Speaker 1: and screenings of his untitled documentary. So some of the
- 47:19Speaker 1: things that he talked about and addressed was Netflix and
- 47:22Speaker 1: wanting to make sure that it's a safe environment for everyone.
- 47:26Speaker 1: It's been setting the press that I was invited to
- 47:28Speaker 1: speak to the transgender employees of Netflix, and I refuse
- 47:33Speaker 1: that it's not true. If they had invited me, I
- 47:36Speaker 1: would have accepted it, although I am confused about what
- 47:39Speaker 1: we were speaking about. I said what I said, and boy,
- 47:42Speaker 1: I heard what you said. My god, how could I
- 47:47Speaker 1: not you said? You want to say working environment and Netflix? Well,
- 47:51Speaker 1: it seems like I'm the only one that can't go
- 47:54Speaker 1: to the office anymore. Okay, how ironic is that. Here's
- 47:59Speaker 1: what else he had to say about what he can
- 48:00Speaker 1: and cannot say. Even though the media frames is that
- 48:03Speaker 1: it's me versus that community, it's not what it is.
- 48:07Speaker 1: Do not blame the LBGTQ community for any of this.
- 48:11Speaker 1: This has another to do with them. It's about corporate
- 48:14Speaker 1: interests and what I can say and what I cannot say.
- 48:19Speaker 1: For the record, everyone I know from that community has
- 48:23Speaker 1: been nothing but loving and supporting, So I don't know
- 48:26Speaker 1: what all this nonsense is about. In addition, he talked
- 48:30Speaker 1: about his untitled documentary that was all about the comedians
- 48:34Speaker 1: coming out to Yellow Springs during the pandemic have any
- 48:36Speaker 1: opportunity to perform in a bubble. But now it seems
- 48:40Speaker 1: like people won't touch that documentary. I made a whole
- 48:43Speaker 1: documentary about it. The first night of those shows was
- 48:46Speaker 1: a piece that some of you might have seen. It
- 48:48Speaker 1: was called eight forty six and I'm dealt with the death,
- 48:51Speaker 1: the murder of George Floyd. This film that I made
- 48:55Speaker 1: was invited to every film festival in the United States,
- 48:57Speaker 1: and some of those invitations I accepted. And when this
- 49:00Speaker 1: controversy came out about The Closer, they began disinviting me
- 49:06Speaker 1: from these film festivals. And now today, not a film company,
- 49:12Speaker 1: not a movie studio, not a film festival, nobody will
- 49:15Speaker 1: touch this film. That's interesting. Dave. Dave did the Tribeca
- 49:21Speaker 1: Film Film Festival, and I thought the doc already sold
- 49:25Speaker 1: the Netflix. I thought they announced that the doc sold
- 49:27Speaker 1: the Netflix, but The Close, No, it hasn't sold yet.
- 49:30Speaker 1: But The Closer came out after that, so I could
- 49:32Speaker 1: have sworn the annot that that doc was coming out
- 49:34Speaker 1: on Netflix. Now sure, not that I know of. As
- 49:38Speaker 1: far as I knew, they were still screening it places.
- 49:40Speaker 1: I think that Dock's coming out. I could be wrong,
- 49:42Speaker 1: And I even thought he said that in that five
- 49:44Speaker 1: minute thing. He said, shout out the Tetranto's because he's
- 49:46Speaker 1: putting it on. But I thought they'd been sold to Netflix.
- 49:48Speaker 1: I think he was shouting him out for still keeping
- 49:50Speaker 1: his special on The Closer. Well, either way, that video
- 49:53Speaker 1: yesterday was a great promo for that ten Arena tour
- 49:55Speaker 1: to show the film that he announced. Well, he does
- 49:58Speaker 1: have a list of demands though for the me with
- 50:00Speaker 1: the you know, with people that want to meet with him,
- 50:02Speaker 1: from the trans community to the transgender community. I have
- 50:06Speaker 1: more than willing to give you an audience. She will
- 50:09Speaker 1: not summon me. I am not bending to anybody's demands.
- 50:15Speaker 1: And if you want to meet with me, I'd be
- 50:17Speaker 1: more than willing to. But I have some conditions. First
- 50:21Speaker 1: of all, you cannot come if you have not watched
- 50:24Speaker 1: my special from beginning to end. You must come to
- 50:28Speaker 1: a place of mind choosing and a time of mind choosing.
- 50:33Speaker 1: And thirdly, you must admit that Hannah Gaspy is not funny.
- 50:38Speaker 1: I have no idea who Hannah. Who's hearing to gaspe?
- 50:40Speaker 1: She's a comedian. No, she's from Australia, and I think
- 50:43Speaker 1: she had some things to say about him, So that
- 50:46Speaker 1: was his job, I guess back at her. So oh no,
- 50:51Speaker 1: it's that it was that block party that Netflix is
- 50:53Speaker 1: gonna start screaming. In November, they were still streaming it.
- 50:57Speaker 1: So I mean I'm trying to sell it and do
- 50:59Speaker 1: any screenings for it. Okay, Now, Meek Mill was on
- 51:02Speaker 1: Twitter and this went crazy yesterday. He said, I haven't
- 51:05Speaker 1: get paid for music, and I don't know how much
- 51:07Speaker 1: money labels make off me. I need lawyers asap. And
- 51:11Speaker 1: he said, asked the record label how much have you
- 51:12Speaker 1: spent on me as an artist? And you ask how
- 51:15Speaker 1: much you have you made off me as an artist.
- 51:16Speaker 1: I'm about to make my record deal public by Monday,
- 51:19Speaker 1: just to let the world see what these people on.
- 51:22Speaker 1: I'm a war for everything that's mine, all ruthless vibes.
- 51:25Speaker 1: Then Kisha Cole saw this and responded, never received a
- 51:28Speaker 1: check from any record label period, But I just thought
- 51:31Speaker 1: about that the other day. It's nothing wrong with obtaining
- 51:33Speaker 1: audit attorneys so that you're aware of where every dollar win.
- 51:36Speaker 1: Trust me, a lot gets lost in the sauce. And
- 51:39Speaker 1: Tyrese also chimed in, most of us who were signed
- 51:41Speaker 1: twenty years ago, we should all demand our masters be
- 51:44Speaker 1: reverted back to us. Yeah, I said it. By December
- 51:46Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, I will own five of my masters
- 51:48Speaker 1: from releases over the years. Speak up on it, or
- 51:50Speaker 1: they will keep collecting off your body of work. I mean, yeah,
- 51:54Speaker 1: Keisha is absolutely right about artists, but that's for any business,
- 51:57Speaker 1: right you know, you get your ordered attorneys do you know,
- 52:00Speaker 1: keep tracking every dollar. Nothing wrong with that, but correct
- 52:02Speaker 1: me if I'm wrong. Don't artists get like advances. Yeah,
- 52:05Speaker 1: you get an advance and then you owe the label
- 52:07Speaker 1: to pay back that advance. So basically it's like a loan.
- 52:10Speaker 1: Depends on what you sell exactly. You get like just
- 52:13Speaker 1: say a three million dollar advance, and you don't recoup
- 52:16Speaker 1: that money, then you get Now you don't never get
- 52:18Speaker 1: another check, right, you know, and then your next album
- 52:21Speaker 1: is still based off of what you owe for the
- 52:22Speaker 1: first album. And then if you don't sell more units
- 52:24Speaker 1: on the second album than your third album is based
- 52:26Speaker 1: off what you on the first and second. The same thing.
- 52:28Speaker 1: When you sign a publishing deal, they give you an
- 52:30Speaker 1: advance and then you have to pay that money back.
- 52:33Speaker 1: And that's why most artists want to get the biggest
- 52:35Speaker 1: advance possible because they know they're not going to probably
- 52:37Speaker 1: see no money on the back. Yeah, they go both ways.
- 52:39Speaker 1: Some artists want the biggest advance and some artists don't
- 52:41Speaker 1: want an events at all because they you know, they
- 52:43Speaker 1: spend their own money. That way, they will make money.
- 52:45Speaker 1: You're a big back in Yeah, but I think you
- 52:48Speaker 1: rather get more upfront because nothing is guaranteed. You don't
- 52:50Speaker 1: get an advance, and then if you get dropped or
- 52:52Speaker 1: something changes, then you The only reason I would probably
- 52:56Speaker 1: want more up front from a record label is because
- 52:58Speaker 1: record labels are shady and you gonna have to get
- 53:00Speaker 1: all the attorney's regardless to make sure that you know
- 53:03Speaker 1: you're getting on the back end what you should get.
- 53:05Speaker 1: So yeah, from a from a record label, I probably
- 53:08Speaker 1: would want more upfront, all right, but that is your
- 53:10Speaker 1: room of report, all right, thank you? Miss Yes, ma'am,
- 53:14Speaker 1: you're giving a donkey too. Might say it like pet
- 53:17Speaker 1: I want to have a conversation about you know, this

- 54:45Speaker 1: I mean it has to go to all you individuals
- 54:47Speaker 1: who really don't know the difference between real life and entertainment.
- 54:50Speaker 1: I'm not even confused about This doesn't bother me in
- 54:52Speaker 1: the least. Ben, I'm just using it as you had
- 54:55Speaker 1: another teachable moment to let you all know. Social media
- 54:58Speaker 1: it's probably the devil. It brings out the worst in
- 55:01Speaker 1: all of us. Okay, I did a whole episode about
- 55:03Speaker 1: it on my talk show to Gods on His Truth.
- 55:05Speaker 1: The name of the episode is Digital Devil. Every Friday night,
- 55:07Speaker 1: ten pm, Comedy Central, and you can scream all episodes
- 55:09Speaker 1: on Paramount Plus. This noise around Insecure is just that noise.
- 55:15Speaker 1: It ain't about nothing. It's simply what Tristan Harris was
- 55:18Speaker 1: talking about on my show Listen. It preys on the
- 55:21Speaker 1: worst of human nature and vulnerabilities. In fact, the founder
- 55:25Speaker 1: of LinkedIn said that every successful social media app praise
- 55:28Speaker 1: on one or more of the seven deadly sins. So
- 55:31Speaker 1: if the devil is the seven deadly sins, you know greed, lust,
- 55:35Speaker 1: you know wrath anger, These are the things that are
- 55:37Speaker 1: the powering social media success because you know how much
- 55:41Speaker 1: have you paid for Facebook or Instagram like recently? Nothing? Nothing?
- 55:45Speaker 1: So then how do they make, you know, billions of dollars?
- 55:46Speaker 1: Because we're the product, not the customer. It pumps up
- 55:50Speaker 1: our wrath, our anger, our jealousy, our voyeurism, our comparison,
- 55:54Speaker 1: because those are the things that work at getting human attention.
- 55:57Speaker 1: That's right. Social media feed is off negativity, all of
- 55:59Speaker 1: the seven deadly sins. It feeds off disruption. Drama is
- 56:03Speaker 1: an algorithm and this story is just more of that.
- 56:05Speaker 1: See on Insecurity Past Sunday, My Good Sister and Man
- 56:09Speaker 1: the Seals drop on the a Clues bombs from a
- 56:10Speaker 1: Man the Steals. She plays a character. We know the character,
- 56:13Speaker 1: Tiffany Duba. We've been watching her for the last five seasons. Okay,
- 56:15Speaker 1: Tiffany Duba, it's an aka. On Sunday Show, she was
- 56:19Speaker 1: wearing a ka colors, the legendary pink and green, a
- 56:22Speaker 1: combination of colors that you would never think go together,
- 56:24Speaker 1: but the akas make it look fly. Well, I don't know,
- 56:28Speaker 1: you know what sets some of the soras off? Did
- 56:31Speaker 1: I say that right as a sass? Both ways? Okay,
- 56:35Speaker 1: so I don't know what sets some of the Soras off,
- 56:37Speaker 1: but they started getting online complaining that a man the
- 56:39Speaker 1: Seals was disrespecting their organization and demanding an explanation, our apology.
- 56:45Speaker 1: There is nothing I can say in this dunky of
- 56:47Speaker 1: the day that would that wouldn't be doing anything but
- 56:49Speaker 1: stating the obvious. But can we please go listen to
- 56:53Speaker 1: what my good cancer breath and the man the Seals
- 56:55Speaker 1: had to say play the part where she's talking about
- 56:57Speaker 1: she don't know why Yellow said over her being a Sora,
- 57:00Speaker 1: are portraying Sora? Y'all may have googled it. I don't
- 57:05Speaker 1: know why people keep asking me if I'm a sore roar.
- 57:07Speaker 1: I am not a sore roar. Tiffany is a sore roar.
- 57:11Speaker 1: Tiffany is a character on a TV show. I didn't
- 57:13Speaker 1: write the character. I play the character. I'm an actress
- 57:17Speaker 1: and I'm playing a character on a TV show. Is
- 57:21Speaker 1: it Sara so roor s o r? You spell it
- 57:28Speaker 1: for a million times? You can't prown? Yeah, I'm sure
- 57:29Speaker 1: they'll correct us. All I wanted Amanda Seals to say
- 57:33Speaker 1: at the end of that. With social media, why are
- 57:36Speaker 1: you acting weird with me? I really don't think you
- 57:40Speaker 1: all understand the impact of social media on your brain.
- 57:42Speaker 1: Social media has removed all separation and state in regards
- 57:45Speaker 1: to what's true and what's false, to what's right and
- 57:47Speaker 1: what's wrong, to what's real and what's fake. In regards
- 57:49Speaker 1: to what's true and what's false, listen to. Amanda referenced
- 57:52Speaker 1: this website called answers to All. Listen y'all may have
- 57:55Speaker 1: googled it and then this site answers to All dot
- 57:57Speaker 1: Com answers to some because you got the answers wrong
- 58:01Speaker 1: this time saying that it ain't true. I am not
- 58:04Speaker 1: a member of the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority. My schools
- 58:07Speaker 1: when you purchase didn't even have a chapter. By the
- 58:09Speaker 1: time I went to grad school. I was too involved
- 58:11Speaker 1: in the MEFI me of it all. But also they
- 58:14Speaker 1: do say here that I want to pull ups there,
- 58:16Speaker 1: so I mean, I mean, who knows? That was a
- 58:19Speaker 1: nice mistake? I mean, and I would. I would be
- 58:22Speaker 1: honored to be a member of Autakapa Alpha, but I
- 58:23Speaker 1: simply am not. When I am Tiffany, I do wear
- 58:26Speaker 1: the letters with pride and regard and respect for those
- 58:29Speaker 1: who did cross the burning sands. The website Answers to
- 58:32Speaker 1: All said Amanda Sales wasn't ak and they saycy she
- 58:36Speaker 1: won a public surprise. Neither one of those things are true. Okay,
- 58:39Speaker 1: So when you say answers to all answers to all
- 58:41Speaker 1: what answers to all your confirmation bias, listen to me.
- 58:45Speaker 1: Whatever you think about a person, whatever you think about
- 58:47Speaker 1: the subject, you can google it and something will pop
- 58:50Speaker 1: up that reinforces what you believe. Period. Okay, that's just
- 58:54Speaker 1: the way this thing works, all right, But I just
- 58:56Speaker 1: need y'all to understand acting is acting, Real life is
- 58:59Speaker 1: real life. I was talking to folks yesterday and they
- 59:01Speaker 1: kept comparing real life situations the Tiffany Duba's character on Insecure.
- 59:05Speaker 1: It's like, remember with Boosey disrespected Kappa's and wal a
- 59:08Speaker 1: shirt belonging to the members of Kappa Alpha Cide fraternity. Yeah,
- 59:12Speaker 1: but the difference is Boosey did that in real life.
- 59:14Speaker 1: Tiffany Duba was a character acting Aka's and all these
- 59:19Speaker 1: Greek organizations are corporations, last time I checked. I always
- 59:23Speaker 1: thought that in order for shows to use, you know,
- 59:26Speaker 1: their paraphernalia, they had to get get it licensed. That's
- 59:29Speaker 1: what I always thought. I thought they had to get
- 59:31Speaker 1: get it license to get some clart, get written approval,
- 59:34Speaker 1: some type of clearance from said organization. So Sara's sars
- 59:39Speaker 1: sorrows shouldn't be mad at the manage sales and Tiffany
- 59:42Speaker 1: Duba take that up with whoever runs your organization. Seriously,
- 59:46Speaker 1: fraternities and sororities. If you don't want your colors, your
- 59:49Speaker 1: shields worn, fiction or otherwise, let it be known in
- 59:53Speaker 1: all right, raise holy hell with the people from your
- 59:56Speaker 1: organization who are licensed in this stuff you know to
- 59:59Speaker 1: be worn, because literally they had to give Insecure or
- 1:00:01Speaker 1: any other show our film clearance to use it. Also,
- 1:00:05Speaker 1: if you're gonna be mad, okay, if you're gonna have
- 1:00:07Speaker 1: this anger, this wrath, okay over you know a man
- 1:00:12Speaker 1: the Seals ar Tiffany Duba, they should probably get zero
- 1:00:16Speaker 1: smoke because she's not a producer on this show. She's
- 1:00:19Speaker 1: not a writer. She's playing a character and that character
- 1:00:21Speaker 1: was written by said writer or a producer. But let
- 1:00:23Speaker 1: me tell you something. If we've gotten to the point
- 1:00:26Speaker 1: where people are being outraged over what characters on TV
- 1:00:29Speaker 1: shows and films are wearing and are doing, we are
- 1:00:32Speaker 1: in a really bad place in our society and art
- 1:00:35Speaker 1: and critical thinking skills as we know it are dead. Dad.
- 1:00:40Speaker 1: I really pray that y'all start to disconnect from social
- 1:00:42Speaker 1: media more so you can connect with reality, not virtual reality,
- 1:00:45Speaker 1: the real world. We are losing ourselves and some of
- 1:00:48Speaker 1: y'all have never found yourselves because your whole life has
- 1:00:51Speaker 1: been this And I'm holding up a smartphone as I
- 1:00:54Speaker 1: say it. All right, we are past the point of
- 1:00:57Speaker 1: the Boy who Cried Wolf. Okay, we are past the point.
- 1:01:01Speaker 1: We are passed that point. All right, you know what, apologies,
- 1:01:03Speaker 1: let me be politically correct, the they who cried wolf.
- 1:01:06Speaker 1: All right, we are passed the point. We are passed
- 1:01:08Speaker 1: the point. We know what that story is, right, y'all
- 1:01:10Speaker 1: know the story of the boy who cried Wolf? Right
- 1:01:12Speaker 1: when the young boy kept, you know, telling people that
- 1:01:14Speaker 1: a wolf was coming, but he was lying. So when
- 1:01:16Speaker 1: a wolf actually does appear, the villagers don't believe, the
- 1:01:19Speaker 1: boys cries for help, and the flock is destroyed. The
- 1:01:22Speaker 1: moral of the story is that liars will not be
- 1:01:24Speaker 1: rewarded even if they tell the truth, no one believes them.
- 1:01:28Speaker 1: That's where we're going, Okay, that's what we're going. In
- 1:01:31Speaker 1: regard to the social media and social media outrage, if
- 1:01:34Speaker 1: everything causes outrage, then nothing truly matters. Every single day,
- 1:01:39Speaker 1: you folks are mad about nothing. So if you are
- 1:01:42Speaker 1: constantly mad about nothing, then when something really pops up,
- 1:01:47Speaker 1: why should we take any of your outrage serious? Just asking,
- 1:01:52Speaker 1: just asking, Please give all these individuals who are upset
- 1:01:56Speaker 1: over Tiffany Dubois okay being an AKA on Secure the
- 1:02:00Speaker 1: biggest he Hall. And by the way, if she had
- 1:02:07Speaker 1: the character represented their k's in a bad way, totally
- 1:02:10Speaker 1: understand y'all outrage. I didn't see that. Did you see that? No?
- 1:02:14Speaker 1: I didn't see that, but hey, I'm not a Greek.
- 1:02:17Speaker 1: They didn't shot at them. They even shot at the
- 1:02:19Speaker 1: aka's house. What Yeah, they shot that scene at the
- 1:02:23Speaker 1: aka's house one Aka. What you mean? I guess it
- 1:02:27Speaker 1: was all you mean, like the houses that they have
- 1:02:29Speaker 1: to have that they shot was an aka. They definitely
- 1:02:31Speaker 1: had to have a clearance and all that good stuff.
- 1:02:33Speaker 1: Like people mad at Lamba Epsilon Omega. That is some
- 1:02:37Speaker 1: old school was old Oh you mean like a movie? Yeah,
- 1:02:40Speaker 1: the movie old school. I don't know about Man Godfather,
- 1:02:44Speaker 1: which that's not one of the Divine Nine though, right,
- 1:02:50Speaker 1: Lamb Lambda and Revenge it the nerds. I don't know
- 1:02:52Speaker 1: nothing about Greeks. Now, I'm ninety seven percent West Africa. Okay,
- 1:02:56Speaker 1: My people taught the Greeks. All right, all right, well
- 1:02:58Speaker 1: let's open they called us. The ball's open with scripting
- 1:03:02Speaker 1: beauty vent five eight five one o five one h
- 1:03:06Speaker 1: For any of the fraternities out there, sororities, any members,
- 1:03:09Speaker 1: call us up. Let us know what you think, right,
- 1:03:10Speaker 1: eight hundred five eight five one oh five one. Let's
- 1:03:13Speaker 1: have a discussion, all right, if you are in a
- 1:03:15Speaker 1: fraternity or in a sorority, what do you think, right,
- 1:03:17Speaker 1: Let's don't want to know. I mean, if like I said,
- 1:03:20Speaker 1: if y'all don't want you know, your your letters and
- 1:03:22Speaker 1: your paraphernalia to be worn fictional or otherwise, just let
- 1:03:26Speaker 1: it be noon and take it up with those organizations.
- 1:03:28Speaker 1: But I would like to talk to some Greeks. This
- 1:03:29Speaker 1: one all let's do when we come back at the
- 1:03:30Speaker 1: breakfast club. Good morning, the breakfast club. It's topic time
- 1:03:44Speaker 1: called eight hundred and five eight five one oh five
- 1:03:46Speaker 1: one to join it to the discussion with the breakfast club.
- 1:03:48Speaker 1: Talk about it morning. Everybody is tj Envy Angela Yee. Charlemagne,
- 1:03:54Speaker 1: the guy we are the breakfast club. Good morning now
- 1:03:56Speaker 1: if you just join us. Charlemagne gave Donkey the day
- 1:03:59Speaker 1: to who Charloma All individuals who really don't know the
- 1:04:02Speaker 1: difference between real life and entertainment. That's it. It's really
- 1:04:05Speaker 1: just that simple, you know what I mean? Because people
- 1:04:07Speaker 1: are upset at Insecure and a man the Seals and
- 1:04:11Speaker 1: Eat Ray and Tiffany du Bar and whoever helped on
- 1:04:15Speaker 1: Insecure because the character Tiffany Dubars and AKA and on
- 1:04:19Speaker 1: Sunday Show, I guess she was wearing AKA colors and
- 1:04:21Speaker 1: they showed the AKA shield. My whole take on it
- 1:04:25Speaker 1: is like, if we know that they have to get
- 1:04:28Speaker 1: clearance from the AKA organization, If people in these fraternities
- 1:04:35Speaker 1: and these sororities are upset, shouldn't they take it up
- 1:04:38Speaker 1: with the heads of their organization. Shouldn't they have a
- 1:04:40Speaker 1: conversation with them and say, look, we don't want our
- 1:04:43Speaker 1: stuff used period, fictional or otherwise. We don't want nobody
- 1:04:48Speaker 1: wearing our colors, we don't want nobody wearing our letters.
- 1:04:51Speaker 1: We don't want nobody holding up our shield if they
- 1:04:53Speaker 1: are not part of the organization. But shouldn't they be
- 1:04:55Speaker 1: taking that up with the heads of said organization who
- 1:04:58Speaker 1: give this clearance. Now, let me ask you and else.
- 1:05:01Speaker 1: Do you feel it like people just don't like a
- 1:05:02Speaker 1: man the Seals? And then you feel like if it
- 1:05:04Speaker 1: was another actress they wouldn't way so hard. Um probably,
- 1:05:07Speaker 1: but you know, um, you know I'm biased with with
- 1:05:09Speaker 1: my good sisters, you know what. Waging on it and
- 1:05:12Speaker 1: everything too. Got a lot of people actually defending Amanda.
- 1:05:17Speaker 1: I saw that too, which I thought that was hilarious.
- 1:05:19Speaker 1: It was people saying I don't like a man the Seals.
- 1:05:21Speaker 1: But those are the kind of critical thinkers I like.
- 1:05:23Speaker 1: I like people that deal with nuance like that. Hello,
- 1:05:26Speaker 1: who's this? Um? Good morning everyone, Corny. How old are you?
- 1:05:29Speaker 1: First of all, I am thirty one years old? Okay,
- 1:05:33Speaker 1: so yes um, I am a member of GAMMA say
- 1:05:35Speaker 1: the old man that happens in South Florida, shout out
- 1:05:38Speaker 1: to all my store wars um. So to answer the
- 1:05:41Speaker 1: question first two foremost, I love Insecure. I love all
- 1:05:44Speaker 1: of the actors and actresses in and Secure. But I
- 1:05:48Speaker 1: can kind of see why some members of my organization
- 1:05:51Speaker 1: so some type of way. I do understand it's acting,
- 1:05:54Speaker 1: but normally in movies with Greeks. You normally see them
- 1:05:58Speaker 1: alters the Greek so they want actually use the exact
- 1:06:02Speaker 1: Greek letters like in drum line. They use similar colors,
- 1:06:05Speaker 1: so you was able to determine like, Okay, he's probably
- 1:06:07Speaker 1: a kaffa, he's probably a cute. But you didn't see
- 1:06:12Speaker 1: the Omega patch on the caliform. They actually Alpha capa
- 1:06:16Speaker 1: Alpha patch on the girl's uniforms. You've seen similar colors,
- 1:06:20Speaker 1: but different Greek letters that they made up an organization. Um.
- 1:06:25Speaker 1: So the fact that she actually has the patch, it
- 1:06:27Speaker 1: could have been you know, like you said, um, Alpha
- 1:06:31Speaker 1: cap Alpha could have gavor her the right to use it,
- 1:06:33Speaker 1: which I'm sure they probably did. But UM, I know
- 1:06:36Speaker 1: one thing that I was kind of upset about is
- 1:06:38Speaker 1: her using the word store war. She's not a store war.
- 1:06:42Speaker 1: That's the word we use amongst each other. What's the word.
- 1:06:46Speaker 1: That's the word. But she's saying to use is a
- 1:06:47Speaker 1: term of that's what they use in their own I've used.
- 1:06:50Speaker 1: I've said, so, how do I refer to y'all the
- 1:06:53Speaker 1: You don't refer to us at flore Wars. You refer
- 1:06:55Speaker 1: to us as members of Alpha Kappa Alpha. Anybody we're
- 1:06:59Speaker 1: not said that where a thousands. So I can't say sorority.
- 1:07:03Speaker 1: You can't say sorority. It's just the worst. Like if
- 1:07:09Speaker 1: if Angela was to say to me, oh, hey, storrible,
- 1:07:12Speaker 1: Oh no, I wouldn't do that, right, So that's the
- 1:07:14Speaker 1: terminology we use amongst each other. So the fact that
- 1:07:17Speaker 1: you guys are staying on already, oh hey, it's not
- 1:07:19Speaker 1: a big deal. But some people really take it to
- 1:07:22Speaker 1: heart because you know, if they die hard for things,
- 1:07:24Speaker 1: they all got you. So you're saying it was a
- 1:07:26Speaker 1: shill that was really the issue, not necessarily the colors.
- 1:07:29Speaker 1: They could have represented it without actually having that. Shouldn't
- 1:07:32Speaker 1: y'all take this up with the organization. Shouldn't y'all take
- 1:07:34Speaker 1: this up with the people who are giving clearance? Absolutely, Liz, Absolutely,
- 1:07:38Speaker 1: But it's just to clear the ear because people saying,
- 1:07:42Speaker 1: oh it's pretty Yeah, it's petty because you're not a
- 1:07:44Speaker 1: part of that organization. But if you worked hard and
- 1:07:47Speaker 1: for for your letters, it's not more so petty to you.
- 1:07:50Speaker 1: You know, Alpha Alpha open up doors every day. Look
- 1:07:54Speaker 1: at the vice president right listen. I'm gonna be honest
- 1:07:56Speaker 1: with you. I can't tell you what to be mad at.
- 1:07:58Speaker 1: I can't tell you what to be offended by. It
- 1:08:00Speaker 1: is patty to me. So you're right, but I'm not
- 1:08:02Speaker 1: a member of the organization. My doctors in the sorority.
- 1:08:04Speaker 1: She said, it's the dumbest argument. She said. It has
- 1:08:07Speaker 1: to be cleared by the A K A. She says,
- 1:08:08Speaker 1: we have to clear even the small indie productions of
- 1:08:11Speaker 1: shows if they're ever gonna if they ever use us
- 1:08:13Speaker 1: or use our colors or our badges. It said, it
- 1:08:15Speaker 1: has to be cleared. Sara, Sara, Whatever will be will be?
- 1:08:22Speaker 1: What is it? It's k Sarah Ka Sarah. Look what
- 1:08:25Speaker 1: you say. He's trying to say, whatever will be will be?
- 1:08:28Speaker 1: What is that? What is the saying? Ok, whatever it
- 1:08:34Speaker 1: will be will be? South Carolina State University baby honorary
- 1:08:38Speaker 1: doctorate A right. Somebody called me one time about being

- 1:08:48Speaker 1: I ain't even saying no, I'm not saying I'm not

- 1:08:55Speaker 1: don't know whether to be offen I have no idea,

- 1:09:04Speaker 1: offended by? Uh, well, I don't want to call Amanda,
- 1:09:07Speaker 1: but I guess Amanda seals character in Insecure. From now,
- 1:09:10Speaker 1: it's the Breakfast Club. Call me and your opinions to
- 1:09:22Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club Top five five five one morning. Everybody

- 1:09:33Speaker 1: talking about Amanda Seals her character and Insecure. No, we're
- 1:09:37Speaker 1: talking about Tiffany du Bois, the character's character in the
- 1:09:41Speaker 1: character from Insecure. Correct, she wore a ka colors because
- 1:09:45Speaker 1: her character is Aka and she did the sound. Yet
- 1:09:48Speaker 1: you do it well sound. I'm playing with them people.
- 1:09:53Speaker 1: So we're asking what is your feelings on it? Hello?
- 1:09:56Speaker 1: Who's this? Hey? Good morning? What are your thoughts? Um So,
- 1:10:01Speaker 1: I am a proud member of Alpaca app Storty and
- 1:10:04Speaker 1: corpor Movie. Okay, and me and my life sister, we're
- 1:10:08Speaker 1: just talking about it, and honestly, I liven't mad at it,
- 1:10:12Speaker 1: you know, um I thought that it was an honor
- 1:10:14Speaker 1: for them to try to, you know, show casus and
- 1:10:16Speaker 1: a positive light. I mean, they could have do it,
- 1:10:20Speaker 1: you know, they could have did y'all dirty. I mean,
- 1:10:22Speaker 1: what if what if they'd had y'all on the show
- 1:10:24Speaker 1: and they was playing into all the bas stereotypes and
- 1:10:26Speaker 1: all of that stupid stuff, you know what I mean,
- 1:10:30Speaker 1: if it was a big deal, I feel like corporate
- 1:10:32Speaker 1: would have been the reaction. How they did not play
- 1:10:34Speaker 1: that we are a busy I agree, That's what I'm saying.
- 1:10:36Speaker 1: I can understand if you know y'all portrayed in a
- 1:10:39Speaker 1: negative light, I could see the uproar, but you know
- 1:10:43Speaker 1: I didn't. I didn't get it. Hello, who's this Hello
- 1:10:45Speaker 1: the morning? My name is Tanisia. Hey, come on, Tunisia.
- 1:10:48Speaker 1: What the rority are you? I am from Uh. I
- 1:10:52Speaker 1: am an Aka. I am part of the first um
- 1:10:55Speaker 1: African American sisterhood in America, and I am not bothered
- 1:11:00Speaker 1: by Amanda Steals portraying an Aka as a character on Insecure.
- 1:11:06Speaker 1: But what I think is going on is that I'm
- 1:11:09Speaker 1: not sure and I'm sure our escene between basilists will
- 1:11:14Speaker 1: address it sometime. I just checked the internet and she
- 1:11:17Speaker 1: hasn't addressed it yet. But my question is, did they
- 1:11:20Speaker 1: get permission for the character to be portrayed on the show.
- 1:11:25Speaker 1: That is what this all comes down to. I don't
- 1:11:27Speaker 1: think anybody should be personally attacking Amanda Steals right the lifsenpacity.
- 1:11:34Speaker 1: You have to get permission to use the license. And
- 1:11:37Speaker 1: I haven't seen the show. I didn't see anything. I'm
- 1:11:39Speaker 1: just responding to Twitter and listening to you this morning.
- 1:11:42Speaker 1: But we don't know if that was allowed yet. So
- 1:11:46Speaker 1: if they didn't get permission from the sorority to use
- 1:11:50Speaker 1: the shields, then they are in violation. True indeed, but
- 1:11:53Speaker 1: from what I was told, it was in a sorority
- 1:11:56Speaker 1: house that they actually got permission to use. Right. She
- 1:12:00Speaker 1: just said it was Aka's house. I don't know who
- 1:12:02Speaker 1: the Aka is that allowed that to be shot in
- 1:12:05Speaker 1: her home. Even she would have to get permission to
- 1:12:08Speaker 1: give permission. She she that Aka can't give permission to
- 1:12:12Speaker 1: use the license. That would have had to have come
- 1:12:14Speaker 1: down from corporate about that. Then. I'm sure corporate would
- 1:12:18Speaker 1: have told us that in advance to it being used
- 1:12:22Speaker 1: in the show. I can't believe HBO didn't get that path.
- 1:12:25Speaker 1: I'm almost positive, I mean, HBO, I'm sure it feels
- 1:12:29Speaker 1: I feel so too, Charlottage, I do feel they got
- 1:12:32Speaker 1: permission before actually going ahead and doing that, and they
- 1:12:35Speaker 1: probably got permission in season one. And from what I
- 1:12:38Speaker 1: just read that this is the final season of the show.
- 1:12:41Speaker 1: So where's all this blacklash coming from so late in
- 1:12:44Speaker 1: the game. I think they just noticed, to be honest
- 1:12:46Speaker 1: with you, because I remember they even had and I
- 1:12:48Speaker 1: think it was last year it said future Aka on
- 1:12:51Speaker 1: a hat on an Tiffany's baby's hat. I think, okay, right, Well,
- 1:12:56Speaker 1: see future Aka is different from just totally wearing the shield?
- 1:13:00Speaker 1: Got you all right? Well? And the other thing I
- 1:13:03Speaker 1: wanted to say before you let me go is that
- 1:13:05Speaker 1: maybe more aka should become actresses so that there is
- 1:13:08Speaker 1: a pool, and not just ak As, but Divine nine.
- 1:13:11Speaker 1: They need to become actresses and actors so that they
- 1:13:14Speaker 1: have a pool of people to actually portray it, so
- 1:13:18Speaker 1: we don't have this problem anymore. But if there's no
- 1:13:20Speaker 1: Aka aisen Um or no Divine nine are actors and
- 1:13:25Speaker 1: actresses and what are they gonna do? We don't want
- 1:13:27Speaker 1: to be seen on television. I think it's good advertising,
- 1:13:30Speaker 1: to be honest. I think so too, all right, but
- 1:13:31Speaker 1: you want to see a lot of you out there, Mamma,
- 1:13:34Speaker 1: say that again, I don't want to say anything, but
- 1:13:37Speaker 1: haven thing like listening to you love you than I
- 1:13:41Speaker 1: could be wrong, but I always thought there was a
- 1:13:44Speaker 1: lot of akas on TV. If I'm not, isn't Felicia
- 1:13:46Speaker 1: ris shod in the ka? I don't know. I thought
- 1:13:49Speaker 1: you won't cross those sororities, and I could be where
- 1:13:53Speaker 1: I thought you was. I don't know. But what's the
- 1:13:55Speaker 1: moral of the story. I think the moral of the stories.
- 1:13:57Speaker 1: I just want us to understand the difference between real
- 1:14:00Speaker 1: life and entertainment, because I'm telling you my biggest fear
- 1:14:04Speaker 1: with social media is that we're all becoming the these
- 1:14:08Speaker 1: who cried Wolf, you know what I mean. And if
- 1:14:10Speaker 1: everything causes outrage, then nothing is truly outrageous. Like if
- 1:14:16Speaker 1: you're constantly mad about nothing, then when something really pops up,
- 1:14:20Speaker 1: why should we take any of y'all serious? That's all
- 1:14:23Speaker 1: because every single day folks are really mad about nothing,
- 1:14:26Speaker 1: like enraged about nothing shall pass exactly taught by the day,
- 1:14:34Speaker 1: by the day, literally today, give it, give it to
- 1:14:36Speaker 1: a ten eleven o'clock, it'll be something else. All right, Well,
- 1:14:39Speaker 1: we got rooms all the way, yes, and we are
- 1:14:41Speaker 1: going to be talking about former NBA ball boy who
- 1:14:44Speaker 1: was staring at players junk. All right, what was his name?
- 1:14:49Speaker 1: Let it that we'll find out when we come back.
- 1:14:51Speaker 1: It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club Morning.
- 1:14:57Speaker 1: Everybody is cj MG Angela Charlemagne, the guy we are
- 1:15:01Speaker 1: to breakfast good friend in the Tina two up here
- 1:15:05Speaker 1: looking like a Clow Systems, looking like she just stepped
- 1:15:07Speaker 1: out of Coolie High. Oh boy, let's get to the rumors.
- 1:15:10Speaker 1: I don't stare at my jokes. This is the rumor
- 1:15:18Speaker 1: report with Angela Yee on the Breakfast Club. Well, a
- 1:15:24Speaker 1: tic tak troll, who was talking about his time as
- 1:15:27Speaker 1: an NBA ball boy, says that Richard Jefferson was the
- 1:15:31Speaker 1: biggest jerk he'd met, because jerk I met when I
- 1:15:35Speaker 1: was named Bave ball boy. He was a guy who
- 1:15:36Speaker 1: was always condescending that guy Jefferson. All right, Well, Richard
- 1:15:41Speaker 1: Jefferson actually responded, and it was a very unusual turn
- 1:15:45Speaker 1: of events because he did remember this former ball boy.
- 1:15:48Speaker 1: What he is saying is true. I never interacted with him.
- 1:15:52Speaker 1: But let's explain. Why is this your biggest tip? I saw?
- 1:15:55Speaker 1: It was Richard Jefferson's tip which touched his Megan admit
- 1:16:00Speaker 1: to looking at our jumps when we were in the
- 1:16:03Speaker 1: locker room. I remember you and I saw this video
- 1:16:06Speaker 1: a while ago, and I never talked about it. I
- 1:16:08Speaker 1: just kind of let it go. And I saw the
- 1:16:10Speaker 1: original video where I was like, oh, that's the kid
- 1:16:13Speaker 1: that used to stare at all of our junks. While
- 1:16:15Speaker 1: it might be true, the point is that is why
- 1:16:19Speaker 1: I didn't interact with you. Wow, I mean he is
- 1:16:22Speaker 1: the ball boy. Yeah, he does get basketball testicles. I'm sorry,
- 1:16:27Speaker 1: I get you ready to apply for a job. Look
- 1:16:29Speaker 1: at he's ready hiring. I don't have a cha Oh
- 1:16:39Speaker 1: my god, I am bus of the game. Cut them
- 1:16:43Speaker 1: my wife's alumni, you hear me? Right? Well, all I
- 1:16:46Speaker 1: know is though Richard Jefferson, it was very nice for
- 1:16:50Speaker 1: not calling him out previously. But imagine that he's working
- 1:16:53Speaker 1: for you and then you're in the locker room chain
- 1:16:54Speaker 1: that's uncomfortable with somebody staring at just that. That's sexual harassment,
- 1:16:59Speaker 1: absolutely something you can't do. That. Also to Richard Jefson's
- 1:17:02Speaker 1: a liars on Instagram, Like if you just follow him,
- 1:17:04Speaker 1: he just be in the comets throwing people. He just
- 1:17:06Speaker 1: be saying mass sarcastic stuff. I don't follow him, but
- 1:17:08Speaker 1: I just always I bet you do. Now, let's always
- 1:17:11Speaker 1: see him in people getting Weird All right, now, twenty
- 1:17:17Speaker 1: one Savage is telling the Freaknick Festival to sit down
- 1:17:20Speaker 1: because they're threatening to sue over his birthday party. So

- 1:17:26Speaker 1: Savage and the Megamezy last night at undergrounded land of
- 1:17:29Speaker 1: the Freaknick. It looked like a super sucks. We're gonna
- 1:17:33Speaker 1: have to sue them when all we asked was that
- 1:17:35Speaker 1: they acknowledged us since it was a free event, and
- 1:17:37Speaker 1: they declined. They said, spending over a million to revive
- 1:17:40Speaker 1: a brand fighting negative public perception improvement, we can do
- 1:17:43Speaker 1: it two years with no issues comes at a cost.
- 1:17:45Speaker 1: We can't let others just infringe on that. So know
- 1:17:48Speaker 1: when you hear them talk about we tried to work
- 1:17:50Speaker 1: it out very easily beforehand, and he responded, y'all better
- 1:17:53Speaker 1: sit down somewhere. And they said, celebrities think they're above
- 1:17:56Speaker 1: the law, but celebrities be quick to sue people who
- 1:17:59Speaker 1: use their name or their face without their permission. So
- 1:18:02Speaker 1: but I wanted to shout him out how I thought
- 1:18:04Speaker 1: the whole freak. Nick was shouting him out, and they
- 1:18:07Speaker 1: want a particular shout out. Yeah, maybe, I don't know.
- 1:18:11Speaker 1: I don't know what type of shout out. I can't
- 1:18:13Speaker 1: tell you what. They reached out and ask for it,
- 1:18:16Speaker 1: but they yeah, they own a name and they said
- 1:18:18Speaker 1: they just wanted to be acknowledged at no cost. So
- 1:18:21Speaker 1: maybe they wanted like an ad or their logo or
- 1:18:23Speaker 1: something like that on it, something like that. Yeah, yeah,
- 1:18:25Speaker 1: so I'm not sure why they couldn't have worked that
- 1:18:28Speaker 1: out prior to all right. Now, let's talk about Kanye's
- 1:18:32Speaker 1: album Donda. It has reached one billion streams on Spotify
- 1:18:36Speaker 1: and that is his fastest album to ever reach one
- 1:18:38Speaker 1: billion stream so congratulations to him. I'm driving a clue
- 1:18:42Speaker 1: ball for Kanye was he won, all right? And a
- 1:18:47Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers fan was an overnight sensation. He actually
- 1:18:51Speaker 1: got Tom Brady's six hundredth touchdown ball on Sunday. Now,
- 1:18:55Speaker 1: how did he get that? The guy that catch you
- 1:18:56Speaker 1: throw it in the in the stands or that's what
- 1:18:58Speaker 1: he do did the stands? Okay? It right? And you know,
- 1:19:02Speaker 1: even Tom Brady feels like this man should have held
- 1:19:05Speaker 1: on to it. Byron Kennedy a little bit longer. I
- 1:19:08Speaker 1: get the ball, bash, we got it facts, but I
- 1:19:10Speaker 1: don't realize he lost all of his leverage once he
- 1:19:11Speaker 1: gave the ball away. He should have held it as
- 1:19:15Speaker 1: much leverage amateur. Yeah, so he would have held it.
- 1:19:18Speaker 1: He would have been sitting in the Tom Brady suite
- 1:19:20Speaker 1: for the rest of the season. But the amorateur move
- 1:19:23Speaker 1: on his part. Hey, I think it worked out pretty well.
- 1:19:25Speaker 1: It just showed kind of what he got right there
- 1:19:27Speaker 1: from it. But I'm also giving him a bitcoin, which
- 1:19:29Speaker 1: I mean that's pretty cool too. We got a lot though,
- 1:19:32Speaker 1: he got what season tickets, He got a couple of
- 1:19:35Speaker 1: Jersey sun the helmet sugned. Oh he got that for um. Yeah,
- 1:19:38Speaker 1: giving him back the ball, he getting back to the ball. Yeah,
- 1:19:40Speaker 1: he's a fan. Wanted to get Hi back to the ball.
- 1:19:41Speaker 1: That cool. Yeah, he got a bitcoin, which is about
- 1:19:43Speaker 1: sixty three thousand dollars all right, but the ball they
- 1:19:47Speaker 1: said was estimated to be worth at least five hundred
- 1:19:49Speaker 1: thousand dollars. Oh, he's a kid, dor um. I don't
- 1:19:52Speaker 1: know how old he is, but yeah, all right, well
- 1:19:56Speaker 1: that is your rumor report. Now, now you see five
- 1:19:58Speaker 1: hundred thousand. I don't know if i'd get a ball
- 1:20:00Speaker 1: back in. Yeah, listen, I want to say a happy
- 1:20:03Speaker 1: born day to my good sister Angela Rye. Dropping the
- 1:20:06Speaker 1: clues bombs for Angela Rye. The day's our morning day,

- 1:20:16Speaker 1: you tomorrow. That's the Breakfast Club to morning. So Breakfast Club,
- 1:20:19Speaker 1: your morning's will never be the same. No. Biden's created
- 1:20:23Speaker 1: the More Than Just Words Initiative to raise awareness about
- 1:20:26Speaker 1: racial disparities and breast cancer care. To learn more about
- 1:20:30Speaker 1: what more than Just Words hope to accomplish, and here
- 1:20:33Speaker 1: talk with Grammy nominated R and B artist Jasmine Sullivan.
- 1:20:36Speaker 1: Visit more Than Just Words dot us. We are to
- 1:20:41Speaker 1: Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building.
- 1:20:43Speaker 1: I'm gonna throw it in the atmosphere, will put it
- 1:20:44Speaker 1: out there. We got Mayor Eric Adams on the hunt.
- 1:20:47Speaker 1: What's up problem? Hey, good to see you and b
- 1:20:50Speaker 1: and my girl Angela, Angie and Charlemagne, just all of
- 1:20:55Speaker 1: you is good seeing you that. I'm happy to be
- 1:20:57Speaker 1: on the show again. Right, and you know we are.
- 1:21:00Speaker 1: We have already started early voting on Saturday, and so
- 1:21:03Speaker 1: the deadline is November second. So are you encouraging people
- 1:21:06Speaker 1: now to make sure they get out and vote. Yes, yes,
- 1:21:10Speaker 1: I am. And you know your show played a significant
- 1:21:13Speaker 1: role as you entertain people daily, you also have some
- 1:21:18Speaker 1: very serious conversations, and you know during the primary, folks
- 1:21:22Speaker 1: used to walk up on me and say, listen, I
- 1:21:24Speaker 1: hurt you on Nge's show. And so don't think you're
- 1:21:27Speaker 1: not reaching the masks. You know, in particular, we have
- 1:21:30Speaker 1: a connection because you are our Brooklyn Borough president. So
- 1:21:33Speaker 1: I'm very excited for you to be the next mayor
- 1:21:35Speaker 1: because of the work that you've done in Brooklyn. But
- 1:21:37Speaker 1: it was a tough weekend in Brooklyn. You saw what
- 1:21:39Speaker 1: happened at the Barclays on Sunday with the anti vaxers
- 1:21:43Speaker 1: and then wanting Kyrie to play. What do you think
- 1:21:45Speaker 1: about all these mandates that are happening right now. Well,
- 1:21:49Speaker 1: I know what COVID did to our city. You know
- 1:21:51Speaker 1: I was there, and you know, Sister, I was on
- 1:21:53Speaker 1: the ground. A lot of people fled, but you know
- 1:21:55Speaker 1: I was there and let some of these battles that
- 1:21:58Speaker 1: we had lost five close friends during the height of
- 1:22:03Speaker 1: COVID in the same week, and I saw family members
- 1:22:06Speaker 1: dropping their loved ones off to hospitals, never to see
- 1:22:09Speaker 1: them again. Our city economy to the devastating hit. And
- 1:22:13Speaker 1: so I'm laying all that out because this is a
- 1:22:15Speaker 1: serious of virus. COVID is a formidable opponent, and I
- 1:22:20Speaker 1: believe the NBA and Kyrie can sit down and come
- 1:22:23Speaker 1: to a conclusion. But I'm a supporter or city employees
- 1:22:28Speaker 1: getting vaccinated, particularly those first responders. I believe that we
- 1:22:33Speaker 1: have to make sure we don't return to those days
- 1:22:36Speaker 1: where more trucks was lined up at the hospitals. I
- 1:22:41Speaker 1: feel that all of us have experienced PTSD when COVID
- 1:22:45Speaker 1: was out of control. We can't go back to that.
- 1:22:47Speaker 1: Crime in New York City has gone up crazy. How
- 1:22:50Speaker 1: are we gonna make sure that we get crimbed down
- 1:22:53Speaker 1: a lot? People are scared to go out to eat
- 1:22:54Speaker 1: a restaurants, people are scared to go out tonightlife, people
- 1:22:57Speaker 1: are scared to go anywhere in New York City because
- 1:22:59Speaker 1: the sea, like the robberies are up. How do we
- 1:23:02Speaker 1: control that and stop that? And you're right, rather envy
- 1:23:06Speaker 1: and it has a lot to do. I use this
- 1:23:08Speaker 1: term often on the campaign trail because I believe it.
- 1:23:12Speaker 1: It's intervention and prevention. Prevention is, you know, there are
- 1:23:16Speaker 1: the long term things we must do. Let's look at
- 1:23:20Speaker 1: where the prison population is or do an analysis of it,
- 1:23:24Speaker 1: and we can find out what we need to do
- 1:23:25Speaker 1: to prevent it. Thirty percent of the people in prisons
- 1:23:29Speaker 1: in our country are dyslexic, fifty five percent have a
- 1:23:33Speaker 1: learning disability, in eighty percent don't have a high school
- 1:23:35Speaker 1: diploma or equivacy diploma. That tells us that it's education.
- 1:23:40Speaker 1: So if we want to prevent the feeders of crime,
- 1:23:43Speaker 1: we have to deal with the educational crises that we experience,
- 1:23:46Speaker 1: because if you don't educate, you only contrate. But then
- 1:23:49Speaker 1: we have to deal with right now, that's the intervention,
- 1:23:52Speaker 1: and so we have to stop the flow of guns
- 1:23:54Speaker 1: in our city that's coming from the southern state. That
- 1:23:57Speaker 1: was part of the conversation I had with President Biden
- 1:24:00Speaker 1: when I was able to go sit down with him.
- 1:24:02Speaker 1: We need to put in place a gang and gun
- 1:24:05Speaker 1: tasks here in this city so we could do precision
- 1:24:08Speaker 1: policing on those gang members that are really causing a
- 1:24:12Speaker 1: lot of the shootings and stabbings that you're seeing in
- 1:24:14Speaker 1: the city, but it can't be just heavy handed. I
- 1:24:18Speaker 1: met with some of the top gang members. Some of
- 1:24:20Speaker 1: them had bodies and some of them have cases for bodies,
- 1:24:23Speaker 1: and I sat down with them and said, listen, we
- 1:24:25Speaker 1: have to deal with ending this violence in our city,
- 1:24:28Speaker 1: and I want to continue to collaborate with them, crisis
- 1:24:31Speaker 1: management teams and others who are doing amazing jobs to
- 1:24:35Speaker 1: stem the violence in our city. You know it is
- 1:24:38Speaker 1: we do check in quite frequently, so I know a
- 1:24:40Speaker 1: lot of times will be repetitive in some of the
- 1:24:42Speaker 1: things that we discussed. But I know you also have
- 1:24:45Speaker 1: your final debate where courtously ahead of November second, So
- 1:24:51Speaker 1: let me ask you this. I saw there was like
- 1:24:53Speaker 1: some back and forth about him saying that you refused
- 1:24:56Speaker 1: to shake his hand and you calling him a clown. Well, listening,
- 1:25:03Speaker 1: I mean, come on, that is that is not something
- 1:25:07Speaker 1: that's unique to us of Curtis is not a serious candidate.
- 1:25:13Speaker 1: He doesn't think this is a serious issue. He believes
- 1:25:16Speaker 1: this is some type of gang and America New York
- 1:25:19Speaker 1: is not a circus. And I'm not going to participate
- 1:25:23Speaker 1: in his buffoonery. And you know, he wants to pull
- 1:25:26Speaker 1: me into a slug fest, not talking about the issues. Uh,
- 1:25:30Speaker 1: if you know, I was, I was in the studio
- 1:25:32Speaker 1: before Curtis. Curtis came in after me. I was taught
- 1:25:36Speaker 1: as a child, when you walk in the room, you're
- 1:25:38Speaker 1: approached the person and you shake their hands. I'm not
- 1:25:41Speaker 1: going in my way or out of my way to
- 1:25:43Speaker 1: shake his hand or not. I think it's just another
- 1:25:47Speaker 1: way of distracting us. I tell my team stay stay focused,
- 1:25:51Speaker 1: no distractions, and work hard and grind. That's it. I
- 1:25:55Speaker 1: don't know any of this other stuff that he's trying
- 1:25:57Speaker 1: to put into the race. You know, I was in
- 1:25:59Speaker 1: DC over the week, in downtown DC, and sometimes I
- 1:26:02Speaker 1: frequent to Florida, and I notice even Toronto. I noticed
- 1:26:06Speaker 1: that their cities, their downtowns look so damn clean. Man
- 1:26:10Speaker 1: You can you could literally probably eat something off the floor,
- 1:26:13Speaker 1: but now you can walk through Manhattan. Well, first of all,
- 1:26:16Speaker 1: you can't get no food off the floor before you
- 1:26:19Speaker 1: get it. How can we possibly clean up New York City?
- 1:26:22Speaker 1: And how can we clean up you know, some of
- 1:26:24Speaker 1: the homelessness that's going on in New York right now?
- 1:26:27Speaker 1: I love that question, Uh, brother NV, because Cleanliness is
- 1:26:32Speaker 1: next to godliness, and that's what Mom told me as
- 1:26:35Speaker 1: a child. And you're right. When you leave the airport
- 1:26:39Speaker 1: and drive on the belt or the van wid you
- 1:26:42Speaker 1: see lined on the highway, the sides of the road,
- 1:26:44Speaker 1: there's stuffing but trash. You're seeing encampments returning, You're seeing
- 1:26:49Speaker 1: garbage everywhere. You're dead on. It's not your imagination and
- 1:26:53Speaker 1: we need to go into your real cleaning plan. It's
- 1:26:57Speaker 1: about how do we make our city visibly presentable and clean.
- 1:27:02Speaker 1: You know, no matter what you're going through, done it.
- 1:27:05Speaker 1: You have to be clean. And we need to deal
- 1:27:07Speaker 1: with this home street homelessness problem. I'm going to partner
- 1:27:12Speaker 1: with organizations like Fountain House. It's an amazing organization. They
- 1:27:16Speaker 1: give wraparound services to people who are dealing with mental
- 1:27:19Speaker 1: health illnesses and can't live on their owns, so they
- 1:27:23Speaker 1: provide those services to them. That is when you see
- 1:27:28Speaker 1: street homelessness. For the most part, you're dealing with people
- 1:27:31Speaker 1: with mental health illnesses and we need to give them
- 1:27:33Speaker 1: the support that they deserve. And then we just need
- 1:27:36Speaker 1: to clean our city. We need to change the culture
- 1:27:39Speaker 1: of let me just throw paper wherever I want, let
- 1:27:42Speaker 1: me just you know put bags out with trash that
- 1:27:45Speaker 1: are left open, So we need to change that culture.
- 1:27:48Speaker 1: And then zero in on a rat problem. You know,
- 1:27:51Speaker 1: all of us know we're sending an increase in the
- 1:27:53Speaker 1: level of rodents. We need to zero in. I had
- 1:27:56Speaker 1: a device that was called rat trap. It was an
- 1:28:00Speaker 1: amazing device. We're going to see about deploying those rat
- 1:28:04Speaker 1: traps throughout this city, particularly in high areas where rodus
- 1:28:07Speaker 1: is a serious problem. All right, well, I know it's
- 1:28:10Speaker 1: a busy day for you, so we'll let you go,
- 1:28:12Speaker 1: but you know you gotta keep on checking in with us.
