- 6:10Speaker 1: out Friday in high school and that was scary enough
- 6:14Speaker 1: for those children. There was eighty schools that got that
- 6:17Speaker 1: call on Friday. They need to do talk about union.
- 6:20Speaker 1: But they said the one in Missouri that they had
- 6:23Speaker 1: scurity guards, but in not arm. I think they need
- 6:25Speaker 1: to arm the security guards for these days. Happened very much,
- 6:29Speaker 1: and they need to work metal. The deptives in office.
- 6:32Speaker 1: You have to libated convenient. But we're talking about here.
- 6:36Speaker 1: I'm with you. I'm with you. I don't know about
- 6:40Speaker 1: arms security. I think armed security outside of the school,
- 6:44Speaker 1: metal detectives all throughout the school. Like you really got
- 6:47Speaker 1: to treat these schools like airports. Man, they got to
- 6:49Speaker 1: be that intense when these kids are going through these doors. Absolutely,
- 6:53Speaker 1: get it off your chest. Eight hundred five A five
- 6:56Speaker 1: one or five one when we come back. We got
- 6:58Speaker 1: rumors hopefully you'll be here. If not, we'll figure something out.
- 7:00Speaker 1: It's the breakfast clogal morning, the breakfast clubs. So you know,
- 7:16Speaker 1: Kanye West is out in about he's doing podcasts. He's
- 7:19Speaker 1: being asked questions and he's still talking. He's still talking.
- 7:23Speaker 1: He talks about himself being canceled. I think about drop here.
- 7:28Speaker 1: I ain't lose no money. They never take me nothing. Basically,
- 7:31Speaker 1: do you think if he does, we're going through legal
- 7:33Speaker 1: right now, say anything can happen. I think people just
- 7:35Speaker 1: try to score points, you know what I'm saying, Like
- 7:37Speaker 1: Maverick Carter hand me going the show just to say
- 7:40Speaker 1: we took him off the show. Then I go on
- 7:43Speaker 1: drink Champs, then they take it down. The day when
- 7:46Speaker 1: I was taking off the bliss Yaga site that was
- 7:49Speaker 1: that was one of the most free in days. You know.
- 7:52Speaker 1: You know, we're about making product that's twenty dollars, the
- 7:55Speaker 1: best design in the world, and that's the reason why
- 7:57Speaker 1: we had brought the head designer from Leyadema, who's a
- 8:01Speaker 1: great designer. That's why I brought him to the Gap
- 8:03Speaker 1: in the first place, but they didn't allow that to happen.
- 8:05Speaker 1: And that's why I had to get up out of
- 8:07Speaker 1: those big corporations. I could get directly to the people.
- 8:10Speaker 1: He's full of poopoo. By the way, man, please, if
- 8:13Speaker 1: y'all think that Kanye was, if this is something like
- 8:16Speaker 1: master strategic plan to get away from all of these corporations,
- 8:21Speaker 1: y'all are bugging well. He said, he's not canceled, but
- 8:24Speaker 1: how are you okay? So Ever since his comments recall
- 8:27Speaker 1: label good music no longer part of death jam, you
- 8:29Speaker 1: gotta dropped by his new lawyer, but Lencia can stopped
- 8:32Speaker 1: working with him. Vold cut Ties dropped by Cia with
- 8:35Speaker 1: a prominent Hollywood talent agency. Albums they say album by
- 8:39Speaker 1: Kanye down twenty two percent through October twenty of no
- 8:43Speaker 1: access to post on any social media platforms and JP
- 8:46Speaker 1: Morgan bank cut ties when they don't want your money
- 8:49Speaker 1: no more, bro, he said you yep, you said good music.
- 8:52Speaker 1: You said Cia, you say his banking effort with him,
- 8:56Speaker 1: no Instagram, no Twitter, and let's be Cleardidas is on
- 8:59Speaker 1: the clock. I'm sure Adidas will be making their announcement
- 9:02Speaker 1: any moment now. And they got a lot of pressure
- 9:04Speaker 1: because Kanye literally said on drink Champs he can say
- 9:07Speaker 1: anti Semitic comments and Adidas can't drop him, which is
- 9:09Speaker 1: one of the most ego fueled comments I ever heard
- 9:12Speaker 1: in my life. And the fact that they are a
- 9:13Speaker 1: German company founded by someone who was in the Nazi Party.
- 9:16Speaker 1: They can't be a German company the home of Denazification
- 9:19Speaker 1: and being bad with a Nazi like KK. Kanye and
- 9:22Speaker 1: his ex wife posted this yesterday. She said, hate speech
- 9:25Speaker 1: is never okay or excusable. I stand together with the
- 9:27Speaker 1: Jewish community and call it on the terrible violence and
- 9:30Speaker 1: hateful rhetoric towards them to come to an immediate end.
- 9:34Speaker 1: His other family members ex family members, I guess they
- 9:36Speaker 1: said that. Let me just get this right. It's a
- 9:39Speaker 1: whole lot of Kanye Ish. I support my Jewish friends
- 9:41Speaker 1: in the Jewish people. That was from every Kardashian and
- 9:45Speaker 1: I saw that in the household. I saw a boot
- 9:47Speaker 1: post that too. Yeah, ks brother box manager, Yeah said
- 9:54Speaker 1: I support my Jewish friends and the Jewish people spread love.
- 9:57Speaker 1: I seem d nice posted too, But I didn't see
- 9:59Speaker 1: the oh Man When Justin the Boy posted Kanye gonna
- 10:02Speaker 1: pass out? Think goodness, gracious. Well, it was on a podcast,
- 10:08Speaker 1: Alex Friedman podcast and they too, Freedman Slex and they
- 10:11Speaker 1: talked about some of the things that Howard Stern said
- 10:14Speaker 1: about Kanye and this was his response, Boy, Howard Stern,
- 10:16Speaker 1: nobody wants to kiss you. To shut the fuck up,
- 10:19Speaker 1: I said, by the way, I've antagonized you, Howard Stern.
- 10:22Speaker 1: I used to be a fan of you. Now you're
- 10:24Speaker 1: just doing clickbait like everybody else. Now you're just a
- 10:27Speaker 1: saddle man, Howard. All right now, Howard Stern, this is
- 10:31Speaker 1: the first time anyone's said your name in years. Your
- 10:36Speaker 1: own family doesn't say your name unless they're calling to
- 10:38Speaker 1: get their bills paid. You're going hard. I see. That's
- 10:45Speaker 1: beautiful right there. That's much better than calling Jewish media
- 10:49Speaker 1: call go after individuals about you know what it's about
- 10:52Speaker 1: that Kanye. Kanye sounds like he's talking about himself when
- 10:55Speaker 1: he said that, Like that's how people feel about him,
- 10:57Speaker 1: really call him when they asking for money. Well, no,
- 10:58Speaker 1: they used to be fans, and I didn't think he's
- 11:00Speaker 1: just a sad old man who's doing things for clickbait.
- 11:02Speaker 1: Like you antagonize black people for clickbait. You antagonized Jewish
- 11:05Speaker 1: people for clickbait. Now you got to deal with the
- 11:07Speaker 1: consequences of being an anti black, anti Semitic nazi. Oh.
- 11:11Speaker 1: He also talks about why people love him people just
- 11:14Speaker 1: in general. They love me so much. I'm like, actually
- 11:16Speaker 1: a hard guy to really hate for a long period
- 11:19Speaker 1: of time. It's just because, like because like my huge cock.
- 11:23Speaker 1: And that's what I know. I didn't I didn't understand
- 11:25Speaker 1: why he showed it to me when we first met.
- 11:27Speaker 1: But now I understand. Yeah, it's very nice. Congratulations. I've
- 11:32Speaker 1: heard of a lot of rumors, but I haven't heard that.
- 11:36Speaker 1: Sounds nasty. I'm just telling never heard Kanye had a
- 11:39Speaker 1: big penis. Why would you hear that? Why why would
- 11:41Speaker 1: you have when you talked about penis? But you know what, now,
- 11:44Speaker 1: he wants that. He wants that, he wants that energy
- 11:46Speaker 1: Pete Davidson getting out here. He wanted to be me
- 11:48Speaker 1: too easy. You ain't about to be me too easy.
- 11:50Speaker 1: Not it's MEDIPD, you know, Tesla figure Testling. Figirl coined
- 11:54Speaker 1: the term MEDIPD. There's MEDIPD. Ain't about to be no
- 11:56Speaker 1: medio easy. I've never care anybody say me easy. I
- 11:59Speaker 1: wish Kanye, he loved himself the way people love him.
- 12:02Speaker 1: That dude don't love himself. That's why he can't love
- 12:04Speaker 1: nobody else. He don't. He don't love black people. He
- 12:06Speaker 1: don't love Jewish people because you don't love himself. He
- 12:09Speaker 1: don't love the skin that he is. Let me just
- 12:10Speaker 1: ask you that I'm telling that man seeks white validations
- 12:13Speaker 1: so freaking what he I told y'all this, I'll tell
- 12:16Speaker 1: you all this all the time. He seeks white validations
- 12:18Speaker 1: so much. Then he turned around and tried to be
- 12:20Speaker 1: so pro black and then you know, y'all ride with it.
- 12:23Speaker 1: What the reality is he don't love himself, so he
- 12:26Speaker 1: could never love y'all. I tell y'all he was a
- 12:28Speaker 1: clam months ago. Let me ask you a question. You know,
- 12:30Speaker 1: and when we see this with artists and we see
- 12:32Speaker 1: people say the wrong things, we see people get camped.
- 12:34Speaker 1: So we see people there's a reason, like we could
- 12:36Speaker 1: point to it. What's what's his reason? Like why I
- 12:38Speaker 1: have no idea if there ever comes up, there's a
- 12:41Speaker 1: handbook of self sabotage. This is it? Like this is it?
- 12:46Speaker 1: Like he did all of this to himself. He decided
- 12:48Speaker 1: to put on you know, the White Lives Matter shirt
- 12:51Speaker 1: antagonizing black people, knowing that, you know that slogan was
- 12:55Speaker 1: created by white supremacist hate groups. When black people started
- 12:59Speaker 1: to affirm himselves with the term black Lives Matter, you know,
- 13:01Speaker 1: he decided to get on Twitter and say, you know,
- 13:04Speaker 1: he's about to go deaf Con three on Jewish people.
- 13:06Speaker 1: He decided to go on drink Champs and you know,
- 13:08Speaker 1: tell those lives about how George Floyd you know, uh
- 13:11Speaker 1: got killed. You know. So it's just like he he
- 13:15Speaker 1: made those eight what did he say? Slavery was a choice?
- 13:19Speaker 1: The words that are coming out of his mouth for
- 13:20Speaker 1: a choice, I don't you know he got to deal
- 13:23Speaker 1: with the consequences of those words at this point. You
- 13:25Speaker 1: gotta deal with the consequences of being an anti black,
- 13:28Speaker 1: anti Semitic Nazi. All right, Well that is Kanye Goodness gracious,
- 13:36Speaker 1: that's who he is. Jesus Christ. Now you want to
- 13:39Speaker 1: have a big penis. But that's all you got out
- 13:41Speaker 1: of all this David and Peters rolls driving him crazy.

- 15:42Speaker 1: Will and Grace. Do you watch that? No, I never
- 15:44Speaker 1: watched Wiland Grace. I mean I'm familiar with it, but
- 15:46Speaker 1: I never watched it. Yeah, So man sixty seven nine
- 15:49Speaker 1: a car accident. Jesus Christ, he passed away yesterday. And lastly,
- 15:54Speaker 1: I haven't been following this too much, so maybe you
- 15:56Speaker 1: could help us out now Florida governor debate between the
- 15:58Speaker 1: Santis and Christ and Chris. I mean you debated Christ.
- 16:01Speaker 1: Damn Jesus had to go ahead. Hold on, y'all got
- 16:03Speaker 1: Jesus running from governor of Florida. Y'all need it. I
- 16:07Speaker 1: know Jesus body run to Santus in a beat, Christ
- 16:10Speaker 1: and Chris. And now here's some of the debates. Charlie,
- 16:16Speaker 1: I'm looking to put out the pasture is Charlie. Chris. Yeah, well, Ron,
- 16:20Speaker 1: we know you love to bully people. And the little
- 16:23Speaker 1: name calling you just exchange. I can take it, but
- 16:26Speaker 1: you shouldn't do it when children are stand behind you
- 16:28Speaker 1: at a press conference when they're wearing a mask. Didn't help.
- 16:33Speaker 1: But apparently that's your nature and that's too bad. Then
- 16:36Speaker 1: they went back and forth about a bullshit about the
- 16:38Speaker 1: hurricane response. The state's all going culture was rising Republicans'
- 16:43Speaker 1: Future and a host of others. They also talk about
- 16:47Speaker 1: stolen land. It Actually, if you look around the country,
- 16:51Speaker 1: they do have programs. Unfortunately, well, they will take a
- 16:54Speaker 1: student look at their race, say okay, you're white, you're
- 16:56Speaker 1: an oppressor. If you're black, you're oppressed, and think about
- 16:59Speaker 1: what that does to a six or seven year old kid.
- 17:01Speaker 1: That's wrong. You're seeing that you have people that are
- 17:04Speaker 1: teaching and actually his running mate has said this in
- 17:07Speaker 1: the past, that teaching the United States was built on
- 17:10Speaker 1: stolen land. That is inappropriate for our schools. It's not true.
- 17:14Speaker 1: It's the truth. What it's not inappropriate is the truth.
- 17:17Speaker 1: Maddy also talk about race theory. He talks not teaching
- 17:21Speaker 1: about the history of our country. That might offend some
- 17:24Speaker 1: people in our schools. We ought to teach facts in
- 17:27Speaker 1: our school There's an old expression run those who don't
- 17:31Speaker 1: know history may be condemned to repeat it. Usually people
- 17:34Speaker 1: who use that in reference to the Holocaust. It could
- 17:37Speaker 1: just as easily be referenced to slavery in our country.
- 17:40Speaker 1: It happened. It's a fact. We shouldn't have a whitewash
- 17:43Speaker 1: approach to educating our children. How are they going to
- 17:46Speaker 1: do well in life if they don't even know our
- 17:48Speaker 1: own history and we're not going to teach people to
- 17:51Speaker 1: hate each other in our schools. I don't have hate
- 17:53Speaker 1: in my heart, and I don't think we need to
- 17:55Speaker 1: be doing that in our school I just don't understand
- 17:58Speaker 1: how Flawda does it. How Flawda says, you know what,
- 18:00Speaker 1: the past. We the past is too hurtful. We're just
- 18:04Speaker 1: not gonna go over the past and explain what really happens.
- 18:07Speaker 1: It's a lot of different places doing that. But wow,
- 18:09Speaker 1: the reality of the situation is because it hurts somebody
- 18:12Speaker 1: feeling to know the truth. Yeah, that's where less saw.
- 18:16Speaker 1: The reality of the situation is um brond the Santis
- 18:19Speaker 1: is still gonna when and become governor, be governor of
- 18:22Speaker 1: Florida again. I think I saw Paul yesterday that shows
- 18:25Speaker 1: Hispanic voters in Florida favorite the Stantus for governor like
- 18:29Speaker 1: forty four percent or something like that. Oh my goodness,
- 18:32Speaker 1: that's crazy. All right, well that is your front page news.
- 18:37Speaker 1: Now when we come back, Secretary Pete will be joining us.
- 18:40Speaker 1: That's right, he'll be here, Secretary of Transportation of Pete
- 18:43Speaker 1: ble to judge, I like Secretary Pete man because Secretary
- 18:46Speaker 1: Pete is the only person from the Biden administration who
- 18:49Speaker 1: consistently and constantly comes to the breakfast club, even when
- 18:53Speaker 1: it's not an election year. Whenever he's in New York City,
- 18:55Speaker 1: he pulls up to the breakfast club. Nobody else in
- 18:57Speaker 1: the Biden administration does that. It's diverse. It's the Biden
- 19:00Speaker 1: administration is No, none of the black people from the
- 19:03Speaker 1: Biden administration come up. He is constantly and consistently as
- 19:07Speaker 1: Secretary Pete. But nobody came after they won. No, that's
- 19:11Speaker 1: not true. Couple of Harrison come oufter? She want? Well,
- 19:14Speaker 1: she came on TV show. No, let me see he's
- 19:19Speaker 1: up here. Who else came? Cedric Richmond when he was there?
- 19:25Speaker 1: I don't remember who else? All right, well, we're gonna
- 19:27Speaker 1: talk to secretary the Secretary of education. Um, yes, his
- 19:32Speaker 1: name slips my mind right now? Great, yeah, yeah, what
- 19:35Speaker 1: a great show. I started to say, Miguel uh huh,
- 19:40Speaker 1: Miguel Pogona mcguel, huh Cardonaea. I thought I was kept
- 19:44Speaker 1: thinking car Bone. But I'm like, that's the restaurant, Miguel Cardona. Yes,
- 19:47Speaker 1: it's a great show with all the facts. All Right,
- 19:49Speaker 1: we're gonna talk to secretary people when we come back. Facts,
- 19:51Speaker 1: I said, who cares about facts? Oh my goodness, it's
- 19:54Speaker 1: the Breakfast Cloud Goal Morning, the Breakfast Club Morning. Everybody
- 19:59Speaker 1: is te dj Envy angela Ye, Charlemagne the guy. We
- 20:03Speaker 1: are to Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in
- 20:06Speaker 1: the building. Yes, indeed, the friends in the room. He's
- 20:08Speaker 1: been up here several times. Listen, I say it all
- 20:10Speaker 1: the time. He's the only person from the Democratic Party
- 20:12Speaker 1: who comes during the off season, when when it's not
- 20:15Speaker 1: an election year, even though it is an election year,
- 20:17Speaker 1: but when it's not an election year, Secretary Pete comes.
- 20:19Speaker 1: That's right, Well, Secretary Pete, thank you for joining us
- 20:21Speaker 1: this morning. Thanks for having me on. How are you man?
- 20:23Speaker 1: Pretty good in New York? Absolutely too. I mean, this
- 20:26Speaker 1: is a really exciting time for the work we're doing.
- 20:28Speaker 1: So why do you like a position? You know, since
- 20:31Speaker 1: you started, how has it been for you? Stressful and
- 20:33Speaker 1: non stressful? Well, gray hair, tell us about it. Definitely
- 20:37Speaker 1: more gray. I mean what I say is it's it's
- 20:39Speaker 1: the best time but also one of the toughest times
- 20:41Speaker 1: for transportation. It's the best time because we're making investments
- 20:45Speaker 1: that we haven't been able to do in my lifetime,
- 20:48Speaker 1: the funding that's in the infrastructure package. The other side
- 20:51Speaker 1: of the coin is we've actually been through more disruptions
- 20:55Speaker 1: to the transportation system in the last couple of years
- 20:58Speaker 1: than at any time, with the partial exception to nine
- 21:00Speaker 1: to eleven. Then anytime since World War Two. We've had
- 21:03Speaker 1: container shipping issues, We've had cancelations and delays in our airports.
- 21:07Speaker 1: We've had a number of disruptions everything from trucking and
- 21:10Speaker 1: supply chains to passenger travel. But we've been working through
- 21:15Speaker 1: those and the causes of those are mostly temporary. Most
- 21:18Speaker 1: of it have something to do with the pandemic. So
- 21:20Speaker 1: as we're tackling those issues, the investments that we're making,
- 21:24Speaker 1: the repairs that we're making, the improvements that we're making
- 21:26Speaker 1: to the transportation system, that's permanent. So I love the job.
- 21:30Speaker 1: It's been almost a year since the infrastruction, that's right. Yeah,
- 21:33Speaker 1: I signed it in November. So what have the updates been?
- 21:36Speaker 1: So one year in, we've been standing up all of
- 21:38Speaker 1: the different programs that it created and starting to move
- 21:41Speaker 1: the money out, something like one hundred billion dollars already
- 21:44Speaker 1: moving in order to fix roads, fixed bridges, airports. We
- 21:49Speaker 1: were just in Orlando. We're improving the airport there. We're
- 21:52Speaker 1: just in Detroit. We announced a project there. We're putting
- 21:55Speaker 1: one hundred million in to help Detroit take I three
- 21:57Speaker 1: seventy five, which cuts right through it. They destroyed a
- 22:01Speaker 1: couple of neighborhoods when they built it, and it's just
- 22:04Speaker 1: like a gash. It just kind of slices those mostly
- 22:07Speaker 1: black neighborhoods apart from from downtown. We're going to lift
- 22:11Speaker 1: it up and turn it into a boulevard and use
- 22:13Speaker 1: it to reconnect the community. We're doing a project in
- 22:16Speaker 1: the Inland Empire Fontana, California, part of the region that
- 22:20Speaker 1: doesn't get as much attention as LA. You got kids
- 22:22Speaker 1: who have to walk basically on a highway. There's this
- 22:25Speaker 1: road that has no gut or no curve, no sidewalk,
- 22:29Speaker 1: and in order to get to high school, they're they're
- 22:31Speaker 1: competing with cars and trucks, and we're funding an improvement
- 22:34Speaker 1: that's going to fix that. We're doing the elimination of
- 22:37Speaker 1: railroad crossing. Literally hundreds and hundreds of projects, so getting
- 22:42Speaker 1: those under way, who's been the work of the last year.
- 22:44Speaker 1: It's a five year bill, so the Bill of Presence
- 22:46Speaker 1: sign has five years of funding. We're just through year
- 22:49Speaker 1: one and it's really I mean, it's still the very
- 22:51Speaker 1: beginning of a lot of what we're working on, but
- 22:53Speaker 1: we're starting to see the results now. Secretary Pete, another
- 22:55Speaker 1: issue always is this right making sure that black owned
- 22:58Speaker 1: businesses also have access to getting some of those contracts
- 23:02Speaker 1: to get this work done. So where are we with that,
- 23:03Speaker 1: because I know that's something that's been needing improvement. Yeah,
- 23:07Speaker 1: so a lot of work to do here, a lot
- 23:08Speaker 1: of progress that we've made. The first part is the
- 23:11Speaker 1: contracts that we directly control out of the Department of Transportation.
- 23:15Speaker 1: So we set a goal for STB Small Disadvantaged Businesses
- 23:19Speaker 1: of twenty percent. There's a more ambitious goal than we've
- 23:22Speaker 1: been able to set before, and so far we're beating
- 23:24Speaker 1: that goal. But I have to say for every dollar
- 23:27Speaker 1: that we contract out of the Department directly, there's about
- 23:31Speaker 1: ten dollars that go out indirectly. In other words, we
- 23:33Speaker 1: fund a transit agency like the MTA or a state
- 23:37Speaker 1: Department of Transportation or a city that's rebuilding a bridge
- 23:40Speaker 1: or an airport, and then they do the actual contracts.
- 23:43Speaker 1: So we're working with them to make sure that they
- 23:45Speaker 1: are inviting more businesses to the table that haven't had
- 23:48Speaker 1: a seat before. Black owned businesses have enormous potential right
- 23:52Speaker 1: now to do all kinds of work, not just if
- 23:55Speaker 1: they're directly involved in construction and engineering, but if you're
- 23:59Speaker 1: involved in let's say accounting serving one of the companies
- 24:02Speaker 1: that is doing the construction right there's opportunity there too.
- 24:05Speaker 1: So we're actually in the middle right now of the
- 24:08Speaker 1: process of redoing the policy for dB disadvantaged business enterprises
- 24:12Speaker 1: where there's a history of discrimination and we have legal
- 24:15Speaker 1: authority to pay particular attention to creating opportunity there. You
- 24:19Speaker 1: can go online. I know the website Regulations dot gov
- 24:22Speaker 1: probably does not sound like what a lot of people
- 24:24Speaker 1: are excited to check out on Monday morning, but there
- 24:26Speaker 1: is a chance right now through the end of this
- 24:28Speaker 1: month to weigh in. If you're involved with a black
- 24:31Speaker 1: owned business or any kind of MB your dB and
- 24:34Speaker 1: you've had an experience trouble getting certified, a problem getting
- 24:39Speaker 1: a seat at the table, or you have a success
- 24:41Speaker 1: story to share about how public work, maybe being part
- 24:44Speaker 1: of a construction project help you build your business. Now
- 24:47Speaker 1: is a great time to enter public comments about your
- 24:50Speaker 1: experience through Regulations dot gov on our DBE rule, because
- 24:54Speaker 1: that will be part of what we use to make
- 24:57Speaker 1: decisions about how to update the rule. Bottom line, nobody
- 25:00Speaker 1: has a better track record of creating jobs and opportunity
- 25:03Speaker 1: for people who have been left out in the past,
- 25:06Speaker 1: including women in construction, including black building trades workers, than
- 25:11Speaker 1: businesses who are owned by people who've been left out
- 25:13Speaker 1: of the past. And I'm really excited about what we
- 25:15Speaker 1: can do. But it's not going to happen on its own.
- 25:16Speaker 1: That's why we're putting a lot of effort and emphasis
- 25:19Speaker 1: on it, and I think we're gonna have a lot
- 25:20Speaker 1: of results. I just sat down with the National Association
- 25:24Speaker 1: of Black Women in Construction. They have incredible success stories
- 25:27Speaker 1: about how they've created opportunity, but also about what it's
- 25:29Speaker 1: like trying to get a seat at the table because
- 25:32Speaker 1: there's been a pattern in the past where you kind
- 25:34Speaker 1: of had to already be in the business, already be connected,
- 25:37Speaker 1: already be doing business with units of government to feel
- 25:41Speaker 1: like you were in the know about what the next
- 25:42Speaker 1: opportunity was going to be. So we're trying to make
- 25:44Speaker 1: that more transparent. So I don't have any illusions about
- 25:47Speaker 1: the work ahead. But I think we're going to be
- 25:50Speaker 1: really proud of the opportunities that we create if we
- 25:53Speaker 1: stay very focused on it. That's all you and philing
- 25:55Speaker 1: how do you do that? Though you know, the conversation
- 25:58Speaker 1: was about how do you diversify federal tracts in black
- 26:01Speaker 1: and black and brown people? So how do you go
- 26:02Speaker 1: about doing it? So the first thing that we did
- 26:05Speaker 1: just when we were there was talking about some of
- 26:06Speaker 1: the challenges they faced. So for example, access to capital.
- 26:09Speaker 1: If you're trying to get started or you haven't had
- 26:12Speaker 1: these kind of big business opportunities, just being able to
- 26:14Speaker 1: get capital funding or cash flow. Right, if you're a
- 26:17Speaker 1: giant multinational corporation and one of your vendors takes two, three,
- 26:20Speaker 1: four months to pay, or now one of your customers,
- 26:25Speaker 1: then you can absorb that. If you're a small business
- 26:28Speaker 1: and a lot of these businesses starting out or businesses
- 26:30Speaker 1: that are just trying to break their way in, they
- 26:33Speaker 1: need prompt payment right, stuff like that. So we're talking
- 26:36Speaker 1: about those direct issues that can be on an obstacle,
- 26:38Speaker 1: but also we've got to have conversations with the prime
- 26:41Speaker 1: contractors that are bringing on a lot of these black
- 26:43Speaker 1: owned businesses as subs about how to be more inclusive
- 26:46Speaker 1: and how to get some of these subs to be
- 26:48Speaker 1: in a position where someday they can be the primes.
- 26:50Speaker 1: We're talking to a lot of state leaders. I was
- 26:51Speaker 1: at convening Friday in Florida with all of the state
- 26:54Speaker 1: departments of Transportation in their heads saying that that you know,
- 26:57Speaker 1: we're counting on you to create more of these opportunity.
- 27:00Speaker 1: So there's a lot of different pieces of them, but
- 27:02Speaker 1: there's a lot of things that we're doing in parallel,
- 27:04Speaker 1: including this DVE role that that I was just mentioning
- 27:07Speaker 1: that we hope there's a lot of public input on
- 27:08Speaker 1: because then we can actually update the formal processes around contracting,
- 27:14Speaker 1: the way the directories are built, just even the expectation
- 27:17Speaker 1: of the requirement that you check to see if there
- 27:19Speaker 1: are any new minority owned businesses that could be doing
- 27:22Speaker 1: the work that you're about to open a contract for
- 27:24Speaker 1: before you sign a contract. We got them all with
- 27:26Speaker 1: secretary people. When we come back is the breakfast Club
- 27:28Speaker 1: Good morning, Jay Envy, angelau Ye Charlemagne, the guy we
- 27:32Speaker 1: are to Breakfast Club was still kicking it with Secretary Pete.
- 27:34Speaker 1: You know, with the with the airlines, I mean, it's
- 27:37Speaker 1: been horrendous. It's been horrible. People have been missing, you know,
- 27:40Speaker 1: birthdays and weddings and funerals and families. What are we
- 27:44Speaker 1: going to do to fix that? I've gotten better though, yeah,
- 27:47Speaker 1: I know, this is gotten better. The couples still bad,
- 27:49Speaker 1: like you know, and like she said, prices are high.
- 27:54Speaker 1: So what are we doing to fix that? Are they
- 27:55Speaker 1: finding the airlines? And right, so what are we doing
- 27:58Speaker 1: for Yeah, so it did get better, but it was
- 28:00Speaker 1: tough over the summer. We got big holiday seasons coming
- 28:03Speaker 1: up that are going to test whether these improvements are
- 28:05Speaker 1: going to hold. There's three sets of things we're doing. First, finds,
- 28:09Speaker 1: so airlines are required to do things like offer you
- 28:12Speaker 1: a refund if your flight gets canceled, and a lot
- 28:15Speaker 1: of the airlines were slow to do that or they
- 28:17Speaker 1: didn't do it at all. So we're subjecting them to
- 28:19Speaker 1: find because we enforce that rule that you got to
- 28:21Speaker 1: get a refund. That's part one. Part two, though, is
- 28:24Speaker 1: the rules themselves need to be tougher. So that's another
- 28:27Speaker 1: thing that we have in the process right now. It
- 28:29Speaker 1: takes a while, it's a very ponderous legal process. You
- 28:33Speaker 1: got to go through a lot of comment periods, but
- 28:36Speaker 1: we've got that open right now on things like raising
- 28:38Speaker 1: the floor, how long of a delay counts as a
- 28:41Speaker 1: serious enough delay that the airline's got to give you
- 28:42Speaker 1: a refund? And then the third part that has really
- 28:45Speaker 1: helped is it's just transparency. So we set up a
- 28:48Speaker 1: website that makes clear which airlines will do what when
- 28:54Speaker 1: you get stuck with a delay. For example, will they
- 28:56Speaker 1: give you a vatcher for a female? Will they book
- 28:58Speaker 1: you on another flight? Will they look you on another
- 29:00Speaker 1: flight even if it's only on another airline that there's
- 29:02Speaker 1: a free flight, things like that. I wrote a letter
- 29:05Speaker 1: to the CEOs of the airlines said, look, in a
- 29:07Speaker 1: week or two, we're going to put this website up,
- 29:08Speaker 1: So now would be a good time to fix your problem. Yeah,
- 29:12Speaker 1: now it would be a good time to up your game.
- 29:13Speaker 1: And they did. We went in two weeks from zero
- 29:16Speaker 1: out of the top ten airlines to nine out of
- 29:18Speaker 1: the top ten airlines that will offer you at least
- 29:22Speaker 1: offer you food or hotel or something like that. So
- 29:24Speaker 1: you can check it out on our website transportation dot com.
- 29:26Speaker 1: It's a passenger dashboard just to give you the information
- 29:30Speaker 1: so you can make a decision when you're favorite. I
- 29:32Speaker 1: want to ask for some time, what do you don't
- 29:34Speaker 1: know it exists? I know you know what I learned
- 29:35Speaker 1: When my bags get delayed coming out, if it takes
- 29:37Speaker 1: more than twenty minutes. You get Miley's credit, but you
- 29:40Speaker 1: have you have to go in and ask for it, right, Yeah, yeah,
- 29:42Speaker 1: you have to know that that doesn't follow any of
- 29:45Speaker 1: this protocol. That's not give a nothing back. So i'd
- 29:49Speaker 1: invite you to check the dad. I don't want to
- 29:51Speaker 1: pick winners and losers here, but it's really interesting. We
- 29:53Speaker 1: know we got a little green check marks, little red
- 29:55Speaker 1: xes on who does what? Look. Some airlines have decided
- 29:58Speaker 1: we're going to offer less customer service and we're going
- 30:01Speaker 1: to be really cheap, and as long as everybody knows
- 30:04Speaker 1: that going into it, that's fine. But what we can
- 30:06Speaker 1: have happened is, first of all, we have to have
- 30:08Speaker 1: a floor where I don't care how cheap the ticket is.
- 30:10Speaker 1: There are certain things you can do to a passenger,
- 30:12Speaker 1: like leave them completely stuck and not offer a refund.
- 30:15Speaker 1: But also as you're making those choices, we've got to
- 30:17Speaker 1: make sure it's transparent. We got to make sure it's clear.
- 30:19Speaker 1: And we have more work coming up on things like
- 30:21Speaker 1: these fees, these little extra fees that aren't part of
- 30:23Speaker 1: the airfare, but you wind up paying for them, and
- 30:26Speaker 1: that's part of the cost of traveling on a certain airline.
- 30:29Speaker 1: They got to be upfront about that what was causing
- 30:31Speaker 1: these flight cancelations and delays over to thumbody, you know.
- 30:34Speaker 1: So yeah, like a lot of things in our economy,
- 30:35Speaker 1: part of it had to do with staffing, hiring, being
- 30:37Speaker 1: able to find people. What's frustrating about that, I think
- 30:39Speaker 1: for a lot of us is we put billions of
- 30:42Speaker 1: dollars into saving the airline industry and one of the
- 30:45Speaker 1: conditions was you can't fire people if you're taking this
- 30:48Speaker 1: federal money. Now they lived up to that, but they
- 30:52Speaker 1: let a lot of people go into early retirement, including
- 30:54Speaker 1: pilots that are hard to replace. It takes a very
- 30:56Speaker 1: long time to qualify a pilot. So when the demand
- 30:59Speaker 1: came act and we're glad it did, I mean, it's
- 31:01Speaker 1: a good thing. It's a good sign for our economy
- 31:03Speaker 1: that so many people want to fly, but it came
- 31:04Speaker 1: back faster than they were prepared for, and our messages
- 31:08Speaker 1: you've got to be We're glad that demand is back,
- 31:09Speaker 1: but you've got to be prepared to service and tickets
- 31:11Speaker 1: that you're selling. You're collecting money on this right. Another
- 31:13Speaker 1: thing that we've talked about is scheduling, realistic scheduling, so
- 31:16Speaker 1: if you know that you don't aren't going to have
- 31:18Speaker 1: the staff on this route. Doll schedule has many flights
- 31:21Speaker 1: and that's gotten better, and that's one of the reasons
- 31:24Speaker 1: we aren't seeing the cancelation rates, like you said. But
- 31:26Speaker 1: the prices are so expensive now, prices through the roof
- 31:28Speaker 1: so presses for the rest inflation. So how do we
- 31:30Speaker 1: come on bad inflation now because people are not making
- 31:33Speaker 1: much now, I'm like, this is ridiculous. Well, this gets
- 31:37Speaker 1: to the bigger story, right, of all the different things
- 31:39Speaker 1: where prices are high, and part of it is that
- 31:42Speaker 1: the costs are higher. I get that. I mean obviously
- 31:44Speaker 1: one of the biggest expenses for an airline is fueled, right,
- 31:48Speaker 1: But that's not enough to explain all of it. You
- 31:50Speaker 1: look at the price of oil and the price we're
- 31:53Speaker 1: actually paying at the pump, and the spread between those
- 31:56Speaker 1: two things is higher than it used to be. And
- 31:58Speaker 1: so we also have to have a cup conversation about
- 32:01Speaker 1: a lot of corporate profits that are getting fatter on
- 32:04Speaker 1: the margin there. And that's a big part of what's
- 32:07Speaker 1: happening across the economy that we need to talk about
- 32:10Speaker 1: when it comes to inflation. Because we've got some friends
- 32:12Speaker 1: in Congress, for example, on the other side of the aisle,
- 32:15Speaker 1: who love talking about inflation but refuse to offer any solution.
- 32:20Speaker 1: Can you still call those people friends? I'm being polite.
- 32:24Speaker 1: It's a lot of fascism in there right now. Can
- 32:27Speaker 1: you call those people friends when they're democracy? Look, I
- 32:31Speaker 1: think we need to call something what it is, and
- 32:32Speaker 1: when somebody is threatening democracy, we need to call that out.
- 32:35Speaker 1: I know that there are a lot of people, definitely
- 32:37Speaker 1: in Congress, in the Republican Party, who are horrified by
- 32:41Speaker 1: what's happened to their own apart speak out because they're afraid,
- 32:44Speaker 1: because they don't vote like they are afraid. Right, No,
- 32:47Speaker 1: And so you know, my job as a policymaker is
- 32:50Speaker 1: to sit down and work with them on anything where
- 32:52Speaker 1: where they're willing to do the right thing, which they did.
- 32:55Speaker 1: On infrastructure, for example, we had you know, a lot
- 32:58Speaker 1: of Republican Senators and a handful of Republican House members
- 33:02Speaker 1: come over and vote with Democrats and work with the
- 33:04Speaker 1: president on that. What are the solutions to regulating these
- 33:07Speaker 1: corporations pack is getting fatter while everybody's paying more and
- 33:10Speaker 1: not come at a Yeah. Well, on something like energy,
- 33:13Speaker 1: we had an idea. President put forward an idea called
- 33:15Speaker 1: use it or Lose It, which is basically, if you're
- 33:17Speaker 1: sitting on these permits at these leases, but you're not
- 33:19Speaker 1: doing anything to produce energy, then at a certain point
- 33:22Speaker 1: you don't get to keep sitting on it. That didn't
- 33:24Speaker 1: go very far, largely because it was blocked by the
- 33:27Speaker 1: allies that the big oil companies have in the House.
- 33:29Speaker 1: In the Senate. We've got to have more again, more
- 33:32Speaker 1: transparency about the practices of some of these companies, and
- 33:36Speaker 1: we got to keep working toward a tax code that's
- 33:38Speaker 1: fairer when it comes to these things. We think that
- 33:42Speaker 1: the best thing we can do for inflation is create
- 33:44Speaker 1: breathing room for people. Right. That's why we cared so
- 33:47Speaker 1: much about cutting the cost of prescription drugs thirty five
- 33:49Speaker 1: dollars insulin. We could have had that and student Loanda
- 33:53Speaker 1: absolutely right. That creates some breathing room when you're facing
- 33:58Speaker 1: these higher prices on groceries, gas, you name it, even
- 34:01Speaker 1: on for gas itself. Right. It's one of the reasons
- 34:03Speaker 1: why we're pushing to make electric vehicles cheaper. I'm not
- 34:06Speaker 1: saying everybody can go get an EV tomorrow, but part
- 34:08Speaker 1: of how we can give people alternatives is to make
- 34:10Speaker 1: sure everybody can afford an EV. Some of the people
- 34:13Speaker 1: who are beating us up over EV's being too expensive
- 34:16Speaker 1: voted no on a bill that would have made them cheaper.
- 34:18Speaker 1: That did make them cheaper. So we've got to look
- 34:20Speaker 1: at who actually has ideas and proposals to create that
- 34:25Speaker 1: breathing room because prices are going up here. Prices are
- 34:28Speaker 1: going up around the world. By the way, it's not
- 34:29Speaker 1: like this is a US thing now. There are a
- 34:31Speaker 1: lot of you know that many of the analysts the
- 34:34Speaker 1: banks predict that it's going to go down, but we're
- 34:37Speaker 1: not comfortable with that until it happens. It's why we're
- 34:39Speaker 1: pushing to create a little more space, a little more room,
- 34:43Speaker 1: and lower the everyday cost people are basing on everything
- 34:45Speaker 1: from healthcare to housing, the transportation. All right, well, move
- 34:48Speaker 1: we got more with Secretary peat when we come back.
- 34:50Speaker 1: Is the breakfast clubal morning ej Envy Angela Yee. Chalomagne,
- 34:54Speaker 1: the guy we ought to breakfast club, was still kicking
- 34:56Speaker 1: it with Secretary Pete Chalomagne. The pressure mounting for you
- 35:00Speaker 1: and regarded the twenty twenty four because I know you
- 35:02Speaker 1: said you didn't want to do anything else in government
- 35:05Speaker 1: other than this. But the Democrats have a very weak bench,
- 35:08Speaker 1: and I see how you move like, you know, you'll
- 35:10Speaker 1: come to places like the breakfast club, You'll go to
- 35:12Speaker 1: Fox News like you're talking to a big swap of
- 35:15Speaker 1: the American public. So it is it growing louder for
- 35:18Speaker 1: Secretary Pete to run in twenty twenty fourth president? I mean, look,
- 35:20Speaker 1: I already have a job, and we already have a president.
- 35:23Speaker 1: So the best thing I can do is support this
- 35:27Speaker 1: president that I really believe in, in the agenda and
- 35:30Speaker 1: the vision that the administration has, and as long as
- 35:32Speaker 1: he trusts me to do this work on transportation, try
- 35:35Speaker 1: to deliver on that. I mean, look, every job I've had,
- 35:37Speaker 1: and I'm not trying to be cute about the politic
- 35:38Speaker 1: I know there's a lot of political chatter that goes on,
- 35:42Speaker 1: but every job I've had, especially in public life, the
- 35:44Speaker 1: best thing you can do is just try to be
- 35:46Speaker 1: good at that job, and then whatever you want to
- 35:48Speaker 1: do next, you're going to be better off if you delivered.
- 35:50Speaker 1: And delivering, you know to our earlier conversation is hard
- 35:54Speaker 1: as hell, but also incredibly rewarding. When you're working on
- 35:56Speaker 1: stuff like, are you concerned with more celebrities coming up
- 35:59Speaker 1: as being president and doesn't necessarily know politics, that really
- 36:03Speaker 1: doesn't know what they're doing. We have another situation like
- 36:06Speaker 1: in Donald Trump. Yeah, it's we're seeing a lot of this, right.
- 36:09Speaker 1: I think there's something to be said for outsider energy.
- 36:12Speaker 1: I came into national politics as an outsider, a different
- 36:15Speaker 1: kind of outsider. I was involved in policy as a mayor,
- 36:18Speaker 1: but I was not part of Washington and I don't
- 36:21Speaker 1: think you have to be, you know, a Washington lifer
- 36:25Speaker 1: to be effective. But I do think you have to
- 36:27Speaker 1: care about public policy. I mean, you see some people
- 36:30Speaker 1: now who just don't seem like they care. And I
- 36:33Speaker 1: think Kanye's running in twenty twenty four, God, okay, great,
- 36:38Speaker 1: why not? Look In the end, I think what people
- 36:43Speaker 1: most want to know is what do you care about?
- 36:45Speaker 1: And who do you care about? Question? When you do
- 36:47Speaker 1: interviews right and you're not allowed to talk about things
- 36:50Speaker 1: like the mid terms, how does that help Democrats in
- 36:53Speaker 1: the midterms. I think the good policy is good politics.
- 36:56Speaker 1: Like if we're doing things that make sense and we
- 36:57Speaker 1: can explain it, then people will appreciate that. And in
- 37:01Speaker 1: that way, there's no difference, or there's not a lot
- 37:03Speaker 1: of difference between coming out on a campaign trail and
- 37:06Speaker 1: saying I think you should vote for this person, which
- 37:08Speaker 1: is not what I'm doing today, and what I am
- 37:10Speaker 1: doing today, which is saying, here's what we're working on
- 37:12Speaker 1: as an administration. Here the policies we think are good.
- 37:14Speaker 1: Some folks voted for it, some folks voted against it,
- 37:17Speaker 1: and this is what we believe in. It's odd, but
- 37:19Speaker 1: is there for a very good reason, right, I mean,
- 37:21Speaker 1: the reason we have these rules is so that you
- 37:22Speaker 1: don't go out using the powers of the federal government
- 37:25Speaker 1: and push a political outcome on people. So I respect it.
- 37:28Speaker 1: We shouldn't you go isn't at the whole point, I
- 37:31Speaker 1: can go put on a different hat later when my
- 37:34Speaker 1: flight wasn't paid for by the taxpayer and talk about politics.
- 37:39Speaker 1: I think it's okay to have those things be separate.
- 37:41Speaker 1: I think the important thing, though, is that I don't
- 37:43Speaker 1: ever want to say something in one context that I
- 37:45Speaker 1: would be embarrassed to have repeated in another context. So
- 37:49Speaker 1: it's also just really important that we're consistent and we're
- 37:51Speaker 1: clear about what we care about and what we believe in.
- 37:52Speaker 1: Do you feel like Democrats are rising to the urgency
- 37:54Speaker 1: at a moment because we know it as a real
- 37:57Speaker 1: threat to democracy, and like the midterms are right around
- 37:59Speaker 1: the corner, But it doesn't seem like it's a sense
- 38:01Speaker 1: of urgency coming from the Democratic Party about it. I
- 38:04Speaker 1: think we have a sense of urgency. I think that
- 38:06Speaker 1: sometimes something can be so big that it's hard to
- 38:08Speaker 1: make it out and you actually have to break it
- 38:10Speaker 1: down into something smaller, if that makes sense. So what
- 38:12Speaker 1: I mean by that is that the stakes for our
- 38:15Speaker 1: country right now, in terms of our own democracy, in
- 38:19Speaker 1: terms of our future, in terms of our standing in
- 38:22Speaker 1: the world, they're so enormous that if you try to
- 38:24Speaker 1: talk about it that way all day climate too, it's
- 38:28Speaker 1: so exhausting that I think it can actually shut people
- 38:30Speaker 1: down a little. Not on the right. Right wing media
- 38:33Speaker 1: does it all day. Well, they say that the democracy
- 38:35Speaker 1: is about to be over, but they blame Democrats. That's true.
- 38:39Speaker 1: And one of the things that I think is really
- 38:41Speaker 1: important is that facts still have to matter. We have
- 38:44Speaker 1: to make sure that there are actives actually such thing
- 38:47Speaker 1: as true and false. And you look at what happened
- 38:50Speaker 1: last January, you look at what's happening right now, with
- 38:53Speaker 1: people denying the legitimacy of elections that actually happen. Where
- 38:57Speaker 1: you know, part of how democracy works is when you lose,
- 39:01Speaker 1: you admit it, Yeah I've lost. Losing sucks, But part
- 39:04Speaker 1: of your job is to acknowledge that reality. Because the
- 39:08Speaker 1: whole idea of democracy is rules and policy choices that
- 39:13Speaker 1: we all have to live by, and that means we
- 39:17Speaker 1: all live by things we don't always agree. That's the
- 39:18Speaker 1: whole that's the whole concept, right, But I don't think
- 39:21Speaker 1: there's any confusion about what's at stake. I do think
- 39:24Speaker 1: there's a need to connect all these big picture questions
- 39:28Speaker 1: to very concrete things, and I think actually right wing
- 39:31Speaker 1: media sometimes is a little better about that. I have
- 39:34Speaker 1: a TV in my office where I've got it's kind
- 39:35Speaker 1: of splits into four quadrants, and I can see the
- 39:37Speaker 1: three big cable networks, and I'm usually watching one broadcast,
- 39:41Speaker 1: and every time I glance up at it, what you
- 39:43Speaker 1: see on Fox is more of a story from a
- 39:46Speaker 1: specific place that is meant to make you angry about
- 39:51Speaker 1: this big picture fear real or imagined, and it just
- 39:54Speaker 1: puts you in a different state of mind. Whereas we
- 39:57Speaker 1: I think on my side of the aisle tend to
- 39:59Speaker 1: prefer to talk into the concepts the ideas, right, And
- 40:02Speaker 1: I do think there's some work to do there. But
- 40:04Speaker 1: that's part of what I love about my job, right,
- 40:06Speaker 1: because there's nothing abstract about saying, Joe Biden signed this bill,
- 40:11Speaker 1: and you're getting a better airport, or if you like
- 40:13Speaker 1: this new subway stop that's coming to your neighborhood. It's
- 40:16Speaker 1: there because Democrats with a few Republicans helping out in Congress,
- 40:20Speaker 1: in the House and in the Senate, voted on this bill.
- 40:22Speaker 1: Send it to the President's desk, and he signed it
- 40:24Speaker 1: in my department. Implement right, like this is happening in
- 40:27Speaker 1: your life. This isn't like some conceptual debate about conservatism
- 40:31Speaker 1: or free market princess. This is like, we're fixing this problem.
- 40:34Speaker 1: And I see the number one issue is the economy. Yeah,
- 40:37Speaker 1: when it comes to the elections coming up, and so
- 40:39Speaker 1: we can see who's voting for and against people to
- 40:42Speaker 1: have more money in their pocket. Well, that's the thing
- 40:44Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, let's look at the choice. And
- 40:46Speaker 1: again I'm saying it's not election wise, but legislation wise.
- 40:50Speaker 1: Look at the choices that are being made. Right, So
- 40:52Speaker 1: the last administration their number one economic policy, those tax
- 40:57Speaker 1: cuts for rich people, and they did it. It's one
- 40:59Speaker 1: of the promises they out. They didn't keep a lot
- 41:01Speaker 1: of promises, right, didn't drain the swamp, and they didn't
- 41:04Speaker 1: even build the wall. But they kept two promises, and
- 41:08Speaker 1: those two promises represent two things they really care about.
- 41:11Speaker 1: They kept their promise to cut taxes for the wretch,
- 41:13Speaker 1: and they kept their promise to take away the right
- 41:15Speaker 1: to choose. And what we're doing is working to keep promises.
- 41:19Speaker 1: And I know there's some unfinished business in terms of
- 41:21Speaker 1: promises that we've made. But we promised to get an
- 41:24Speaker 1: infrastructure build on and we've done it. We've promised to
- 41:27Speaker 1: act in ways that would reduce child poverty. We've done it.
- 41:30Speaker 1: The President promised to get people back to work after
- 41:33Speaker 1: we lost millions of jobs. More people are working in
- 41:35Speaker 1: the private sector now than at any point in American history.
- 41:38Speaker 1: So I guess you could say both administrations back to
- 41:43Speaker 1: back have come in with a set of promises. People
- 41:45Speaker 1: should think about which promises are kept. Like you say
- 41:48Speaker 1: democrats are terrible that messaging, I mean, you didn't say
- 41:50Speaker 1: that verbatim. You essentially say democrats I think we think
- 41:54Speaker 1: in ways that we got to work a little harder
- 41:55Speaker 1: to second message. But it's okay, that's what you're working on.
- 42:00Speaker 1: It's okay to say that. Look, I hear you, I
- 42:04Speaker 1: hear you. All right, we appreciate it, and thank you
- 42:11Speaker 1: for always stopping through. That's pleasure. The secretary peat, it's
- 42:14Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club. Come on, more than everybody is cj
- 42:18Speaker 1: Envy angela ye, Charlemagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club.
- 42:22Speaker 1: Charlemagne and I, Hey, welcome back here. Hey, good to
- 42:25Speaker 1: be here. Don't you quit? Yeah, we didn't know. We
- 42:27Speaker 1: didn't know. We thought it was you know, the Breakfast
- 42:29Speaker 1: Club is. We know it is officially over. We thought
- 42:31Speaker 1: that you just called it in the day like no,
- 42:33Speaker 1: I'm early from my show which is going to start
- 42:35Speaker 1: at ten am. Okay, get it. We were just talking
- 42:38Speaker 1: about you and it's I guess it's officialeality. This did
- 42:40Speaker 1: terminate the contract. Take them long enough. I mean they
- 42:43Speaker 1: didn't release no statement during all this. They didn't sever tize.
- 42:46Speaker 1: Jesus Christ, you hit your rumor report drop first. We're
- 42:49Speaker 1: just saying we just did a whole thing, but we
- 42:51Speaker 1: didn't mention that because it just did no, I said
- 42:56Speaker 1: it would probably be happening any moment now, but well
- 43:00Speaker 1: happened the seconds after. Okay, my bad. I thought I
- 43:03Speaker 1: talked about it. Well, he been here, we know. But anyway,
- 43:06Speaker 1: let's get the rumors to talk. A little bag going on.
- 43:12Speaker 1: I'm going back home. But Little Baby is on the
- 43:21Speaker 1: Big Facts podcast, and one clip that's already been circulating
- 43:24Speaker 1: was him denying that he was in that photo with Sweetie. Remember,
- 43:28Speaker 1: people said that she was sitting on his lap in
- 43:30Speaker 1: a photo even though you can see his face. The Internet,
- 43:33Speaker 1: Twitter and Instagram detectives tried to take with him. Here's
- 43:37Speaker 1: what he said that with Sep with a cargo pants,
- 43:44Speaker 1: it's too hard to be little at whatever would I
- 43:49Speaker 1: reader that anything? So I take whatever come with it.
- 43:53Speaker 1: But I do have to lie because of that. Then
- 43:57Speaker 1: I've been trying my best man. Somebody had on the
- 44:01Speaker 1: same cargo pants and the same sneakers. Solo to the
- 44:07Speaker 1: Big Facts podcast, Baby Ja Big Bank DJ Scream. Make
- 44:10Speaker 1: sure you subscribed to him on The Black Effect. I
- 44:12Speaker 1: heart radio podcast network, great podcast, one of my favorites. Now.
- 44:16Speaker 1: An Elie Chappa has clarified his sexuality after he posted
- 44:20Speaker 1: a couple of pictures of himself and you could see
- 44:22Speaker 1: his print in the picture. And then somebody sent him
- 44:25Speaker 1: a message, and only Chappa said this is absurd, And
- 44:29Speaker 1: the person who sent him a message was a guy
- 44:31Speaker 1: and said, your d is huge, bro. No, gay Ish,
- 44:36Speaker 1: that ish is an effing tree log. You knew exactly
- 44:39Speaker 1: what you were doing in that post. No, Homo, your
- 44:42Speaker 1: ish is huge, brother, holy ish Man. Humans are the
- 44:49Speaker 1: fun is people man. First and foremost, I love myself
- 44:54Speaker 1: and I'm comfortable enough in my skin to show the
- 44:56Speaker 1: beauty God bless me with. Secondly, I love all, so
- 44:59Speaker 1: I don't mind a tracting both genders, but most importantly
- 45:02Speaker 1: my sexual preferences. Women, please stop trying to make me
- 45:04Speaker 1: something I am not well. When you put your penis
- 45:06Speaker 1: online for everybody to see, and then when I say everybody,
- 45:09Speaker 1: I mean everybody. So men, women, whatever you identify your ass,
- 45:13Speaker 1: the printer is online, they can comment on it. Right.
- 45:15Speaker 1: Have you ever sent someone the message like that. I
- 45:17Speaker 1: don't have that kind of penis to be sending. No,
- 45:19Speaker 1: I didn't say about yours. Have you ever said someone
- 45:22Speaker 1: he's definitely said, have you ever told somebody else like no?
- 45:25Speaker 1: You know, yes, yes, oh no, no, no. I definitely
- 45:28Speaker 1: have no no because I mean no no. I tell
- 45:30Speaker 1: the huge no. But you definitely, as I thought, you
- 45:34Speaker 1: said a message about a man trying you and you
- 45:36Speaker 1: had to let them know like noah, I don't get
- 45:38Speaker 1: down like that. Yes, I have never said all that.
- 45:41Speaker 1: I don't know what y'all talking about now, but yes,
- 45:44Speaker 1: I've had a man. I've had a couple of men
- 45:46Speaker 1: dry me. I had to let him know, like nah,
- 45:48Speaker 1: I can see why you might think that, but you
- 45:50Speaker 1: know that's just the radio buddy. He's playing around a
- 45:55Speaker 1: little bit. Okay, all right, Young BOYD never again has
- 46:00Speaker 1: signed a deal with Motown. You know, he's no longer
- 46:03Speaker 1: on Atlantic and so he has a joint venture with
- 46:06Speaker 1: a Motown and has never broke again collective. He said,

- 46:44Speaker 1: he's very low maintenance as far as when it comes
- 46:47Speaker 1: to having to pay for things for him. So he's

- 48:05Speaker 1: Look a look at this one from Eric Adams that
- 48:07Speaker 1: looks real as and it got the spirit thing on there.

- 49:50Speaker 1: of emergency. Okay, White supremative violence is always has been
- 49:55Speaker 1: the number one threat to aficide. But I'm also very
- 49:58Speaker 1: proud that my wife was white. One club bitches, please
- 50:03Speaker 1: tell me why was I your donkey? Every day Donkey
- 50:07Speaker 1: Today for Tuesday, October twenty fifth goes to Florida Governor
- 50:10Speaker 1: Ron des Stantists. Last night, Ron Destantists was debating with
- 50:14Speaker 1: Charlie Chris, the Democratic challenger for governor in Florida, and
- 50:17Speaker 1: when it got to one of his least favorite subjects,
- 50:20Speaker 1: critical race theory, he decided to end his debate on
- 50:23Speaker 1: a low vibrational note. He said that teaching that the
- 50:28Speaker 1: US was built on stolen land is inappropriate and not true.
- 50:34Speaker 1: All the Native Americans are looking at the radio saying, huh,
- 50:36Speaker 1: excuse me, Say what would you like to hear it?
- 50:39Speaker 1: Here it go it. Actually, if you look around the country,
- 50:41Speaker 1: they do have programs. Unfortunately, well they will take a
- 50:44Speaker 1: student look at their race, say okay, you're white, you're
- 50:46Speaker 1: an oppressor. If you're black, you're oppressed. And think about
- 50:48Speaker 1: what that does to a six or seven year old kid.
- 50:51Speaker 1: That's wrong. You're seeing that you have people that are
- 50:54Speaker 1: teaching and actually his running mate has said this in
- 50:57Speaker 1: the past, that teaching the United States was built on
- 51:00Speaker 1: stolen land. That is inappropriate for our schools. It's not true.
- 51:04Speaker 1: I will never understand why any lie is ever referred
- 51:07Speaker 1: to as little and white. Okay, White men like Ron
- 51:11Speaker 1: de Santis don't tell a little lies. They tell the biggest,
- 51:14Speaker 1: boldest lies that America has ever seen. All right, even
- 51:17Speaker 1: if you don't want to read a book, all right,
- 51:20Speaker 1: do your googles. I learned land was stolen from Native
- 51:23Speaker 1: Americans in elementary school, which is exactly what they are
- 51:25Speaker 1: trying to keep kids in the elementary school from learning now,
- 51:28Speaker 1: all right. They are literally trying to revise history right
- 51:30Speaker 1: before our eyes. This is like kk Kanye saying that
- 51:33Speaker 1: that devil Derek Schauvin's knee wasn't on the cops neck
- 51:36Speaker 1: like that, as if we don't have eyes we saw it. Okay.
- 51:39Speaker 1: It's one thing for people to do what they have
- 51:41Speaker 1: always done with the story of Native Americans, you know,
- 51:44Speaker 1: in regards to Native American dispossession, and that's just the
- 51:47Speaker 1: sweeping under the ruck, all right, don't talk about it.
- 51:50Speaker 1: Hope Native Americans don't talk about it, but to lie
- 51:52Speaker 1: and say it never happened. Come on, man, put a record.
- 51:55Speaker 1: Between seventeen seventy six and the present, the United States
- 51:58Speaker 1: has seized about one point billion acres from North America's
- 52:01Speaker 1: Native people. All right, Some researchers have found that Native
- 52:03Speaker 1: Americans have lost ninety nine percent of their historical lands
- 52:08Speaker 1: in America. Maybe Roner Santris doesn't think it was stolen
- 52:12Speaker 1: because it was done through legislation and treaties. But the
- 52:15Speaker 1: treaties were reniqued upon okay, and the legislation resulted in
- 52:18Speaker 1: Native Americans losing ownership in control of two thirds of
- 52:22Speaker 1: their reservation lands. Now you got Native Americans trying to
- 52:25Speaker 1: buy back land that was stolen from them. Can you
- 52:27Speaker 1: imagine that buying back what was stolen from you? Tribes
- 52:32Speaker 1: trying to buy back there and land on the open
- 52:34Speaker 1: market even though it was theirs. Hey, Roner Santras, if
- 52:38Speaker 1: the land wasn't stolen, how come Native Americans have been
- 52:41Speaker 1: running with the land back slogan. In Congress passed legislation
- 52:44Speaker 1: to restore ownership of nineteen thousand acres of the National
- 52:47Speaker 1: Bison range in Montana to a couple of tribes whose
- 52:50Speaker 1: names I can't pronounce. I think the Seletion Kutara tribes. Listen, listen, man,
- 52:56Speaker 1: The truth is important, okay. And the truth is the
- 52:59Speaker 1: truth regardless of who believes it, and a lie the
- 53:01Speaker 1: lie regardless of who believes it. We need truth in America.
- 53:04Speaker 1: Truth telling is essential for authentic communication to occur. And
- 53:08Speaker 1: that's why we can't get nowhere in this country because
- 53:10Speaker 1: everyone is so busy lying, so we spend all his
- 53:13Speaker 1: time arguing about what's a lie, so we can never
- 53:17Speaker 1: actually get to the truth for the matter, and the
- 53:19Speaker 1: truth for the matter in this situation. His land was
- 53:23Speaker 1: stolen from Native Americas, all right, simple as that. All right?
- 53:26Speaker 1: And guess what, America. We will never heal what we
- 53:30Speaker 1: are not willing to reveal. All right. Please let Chelsea
- 53:33Speaker 1: Handler give Ron de Santis the biggest he haw he
- 53:36Speaker 1: haw he haw. That is way too much, Dan Mann is,
- 53:39Speaker 1: but Kathy Griffin getting in on that too. Man. Please
- 53:42Speaker 1: give this giant jar of male the biggest he hawy.
- 53:49Speaker 1: All right, Well, thank you for that donkey of the day. Now,
- 53:52Speaker 1: when we come back April, Ryan will be joined, Okay,
- 53:56Speaker 1: she got a new book out that she has a
- 53:58Speaker 1: new book out. It's called Black Women Will Save the
- 54:01Speaker 1: World and the anthem. Yeah, so we're gonna talk to
- 54:04Speaker 1: her when we come back. All right, it's the Breakfast Club.
- 54:06Speaker 1: Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Heck power one O five one,
- 54:14Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same morning.
- 54:21Speaker 1: Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We
- 54:25Speaker 1: are the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in
- 54:27Speaker 1: the building, April Ryan, Good morning, Good morning, Charlomagne. How
- 54:31Speaker 1: are you? I ain't blessed Black and Holly Favorite. How
- 54:33Speaker 1: are you feeling? I'm blessed Black and Holly Favorite? This
- 54:35Speaker 1: one there, you got to see you Black Women will
- 54:40Speaker 1: Save the World. But the title is self explainatory yes
- 54:43Speaker 1: and no, but you didn't add the last part an anthem.
- 54:46Speaker 1: We're gonna sing it over and over, okay, anthem black
- 54:50Speaker 1: women will save the World and an anthem okay, yeah,
- 54:52Speaker 1: to keep it going, because what happens is people forget moments,
- 54:57Speaker 1: and when we forget a moment, we lose out. And
- 55:00Speaker 1: at the end of the day, black women are rising
- 55:04Speaker 1: in number as head of household, rising in number as
- 55:08Speaker 1: the breadwinner in a household. And with that said, we
- 55:11Speaker 1: are taking care of everyone everything and not taking care
- 55:15Speaker 1: of ourselves and not being heralded as a champion, as
- 55:21Speaker 1: a shero, and we are that. I know, those stats
- 55:24Speaker 1: got to be flawed though. And the reason I say
- 55:26Speaker 1: those stats are flawdas because they've always been the head
- 55:29Speaker 1: of household. They've always been a it's rising in number,
- 55:33Speaker 1: it's rising in number. And you know you got when
- 55:37Speaker 1: when you have And that's saying a lot about the
- 55:39Speaker 1: structure of the black family. Now you've got a mother
- 55:43Speaker 1: who's the head of household, and then what do you
- 55:45Speaker 1: do is she's by herself and she's got kids. Sometimes
- 55:49Speaker 1: we bring the kids along to help us fill in
- 55:51Speaker 1: the gaps. And that goes into an issue that I
- 55:54Speaker 1: talk about in the book for Black Girls, Adultification, you know,
- 55:59Speaker 1: and you know, we may a lot of our children
- 56:01Speaker 1: become more mature than they need to be. They lose out.
- 56:05Speaker 1: And it's so interesting. A friend of mine who's in
- 56:08Speaker 1: the book for Drinka Newton, the widow of Hughey P. Newton,
- 56:11Speaker 1: head of Black Panther Party, she said, you know, some
- 56:13Speaker 1: kids are given fairy tales, others and nightmares, and I
- 56:17Speaker 1: think all children should have fairy tales. And these are
- 56:20Speaker 1: numbers that prove because I believe in the book It's
- 56:23Speaker 1: black girls are eleven times more likely to be suspended
- 56:26Speaker 1: yes than white girls in school, and nine times more
- 56:30Speaker 1: likely to be arrested yes. One. That is the adultification
- 56:34Speaker 1: adult young girls, adultification that way in so many other ways.
- 56:37Speaker 1: And it's just at this point we have to nurture
- 56:41Speaker 1: not only ourselves but in the community. But we have
- 56:44Speaker 1: to figure out how to help navigate what this world
- 56:49Speaker 1: is giving to our young black girls who are future
- 56:53Speaker 1: We're going to be the next hero, next generation heroes.
- 56:56Speaker 1: Men are being honest with themselves. You got to say
- 56:58Speaker 1: that the women have been the CEOs of our lives forever.
- 57:06Speaker 1: Say that men are covering and I still say that,
- 57:09Speaker 1: you know, but we are strong in the home. We
- 57:12Speaker 1: a lot of times to the decision makers. We are
- 57:15Speaker 1: for the most part, having your back, you know, not
- 57:18Speaker 1: just some of us. You know, take care of the dinner,
- 57:22Speaker 1: some of us take care of the wash, but we
- 57:24Speaker 1: got your back and so many other ways. We have
- 57:26Speaker 1: a hard time at work, but who's there A lot
- 57:28Speaker 1: of times for us as we are taking care of
- 57:29Speaker 1: the home, taking care of you, taking care of the
- 57:32Speaker 1: boss at work, then go on to church and figuring out,
- 57:35Speaker 1: you know, being the usher or you know, the choir
- 57:39Speaker 1: member or the deacon ass and then going to the pta.
- 57:42Speaker 1: I mean, it's so many, so many things we have
- 57:44Speaker 1: to juggle, and yet we don't get our flowers. And
- 57:47Speaker 1: I think a lot of times we're also taught to
- 57:49Speaker 1: kind of you know, endure, like you said, a lot
- 57:52Speaker 1: of things. Yeah, especially in the workplace. Oh yes, And
- 57:56Speaker 1: and I love you. I love your move I love
- 57:59Speaker 1: your entrepreneurship, I love your business mind. You are not
- 58:03Speaker 1: staying in a place that Okay, I'm stay here. You're
- 58:06Speaker 1: moving higher. You're looking for higher. And unfortunately a lot
- 58:09Speaker 1: of black women don't have that, that sisterhood to say
- 58:13Speaker 1: let's push it further, because they don't see people who
- 58:15Speaker 1: look like you and I in the workspace. A lot
- 58:18Speaker 1: of us are alone and cannot talk to other women.
- 58:21Speaker 1: And I believe in community and sisterhood, so we can
- 58:23Speaker 1: bring forward that move be another Angelay, come on now, now,
- 58:27Speaker 1: let's talk about you in your space that you occupy.
- 58:30Speaker 1: When we talk about being the only black woman's that
- 58:32Speaker 1: so people have some history on who April Ryan is. Um,
- 58:35Speaker 1: I'm the only black woman. I'm the longest serving black
- 58:40Speaker 1: female journalist in the White House. White House, Yeah, White
- 58:44Speaker 1: House Correspondent. It's especially when you're focusing on black issues.
- 58:50Speaker 1: It's a hard road and people want to isolate you.
- 58:53Speaker 1: They want to call you the angry black woman. Do
- 58:55Speaker 1: I look at angry? Shall thank you? I'm happy If
- 59:02Speaker 1: you are angry, do you have every right to be?
- 59:04Speaker 1: But no, I'm not gonna fall into that angry black
- 59:06Speaker 1: woman's stereotype because people want to say when you bring
- 59:09Speaker 1: up issues of a community that's underserved with the highest
- 59:12Speaker 1: numbers of negatives, and every cat should be but they
- 59:16Speaker 1: want to label you was that instead of saying no, no, no,
- 59:18Speaker 1: let's take a look at the steps, they want to
- 59:20Speaker 1: divert attention from the real issue and blame me. What.
- 59:24Speaker 1: I have nothing to do with that. I'm trying to
- 59:26Speaker 1: ask questions to get answers for a community that is hurting,
- 59:30Speaker 1: and I just happened to be along the way, a
- 59:31Speaker 1: black woman asking those questions. You've had those moments, some
- 59:36Speaker 1: adversities you faced, the White House Correspondent, some adversities, Yeah,
- 59:41Speaker 1: you saw it. Yeah, being told you know, sit down Trump.
- 59:45Speaker 1: Trump told me sit down. Sean Spice says, stop shaking
- 59:49Speaker 1: your head. Yeah, he wouldn't take your question because you
- 59:51Speaker 1: was shaking your head. He say that was crazy. Sarah
- 59:54Speaker 1: Huckaby Sanders, who's running for governor of Arkansas, told me
- 59:58Speaker 1: my question was and you know, been targeted by Fox
- 1:00:02Speaker 1: News death threats. Just were asking questions of the Black community,
- 1:00:06Speaker 1: a community that they didn't want to deal with. So
- 1:00:10Speaker 1: and you know this, you know, the black community has
- 1:00:12Speaker 1: issues period. And then at the White House. Everything comes
- 1:00:17Speaker 1: to the White House from water, peace and everything in between.
- 1:00:19Speaker 1: And in between all of that is the black community
- 1:00:22Speaker 1: who still is trying to figure out why is my
- 1:00:25Speaker 1: water not safe to drink? Not just in Jackson, but
- 1:00:28Speaker 1: in Flint still, you know, policing issues, you know, Ahmad Aubrey,
- 1:00:35Speaker 1: George Floyd, you know we and then what about our economy?
- 1:00:38Speaker 1: You know, we're we When the gas prices were slashed
- 1:00:43Speaker 1: a couple of months ago and the President opened up
- 1:00:47Speaker 1: the Strategic or Reserve allowing for millions of barrels to
- 1:00:50Speaker 1: be released today, guess what, Black folks didn't see that
- 1:00:56Speaker 1: price loring because we were having price gouging in our community.
- 1:01:00Speaker 1: You know, you could go across the street and see
- 1:01:02Speaker 1: a five dollars and something gallant of gas and across
- 1:01:07Speaker 1: the street it would be four dollars, when in other
- 1:01:09Speaker 1: parts of America was three dollars and some you know,
- 1:01:12Speaker 1: gone gas buddy, And that's how you're really How about
- 1:01:15Speaker 1: that that app I love that or cheap gas or whatever. Yeah,
- 1:01:18Speaker 1: let me tell you, Yeah, I get it. What are
- 1:01:20Speaker 1: you thinking about the treatment of VP Kamala Harris? Then,
- 1:01:23Speaker 1: in relation to this book Black Women Will Save the
- 1:01:26Speaker 1: World an anthem? What I think about the treatment in
- 1:01:29Speaker 1: the media and just by people in general speaking about her, Well,
- 1:01:35Speaker 1: number one, being a black woman, people are hypersensitive about that.
- 1:01:39Speaker 1: And some of the things that were coming out about
- 1:01:42Speaker 1: her or about her staff or just unheard. It was
- 1:01:45Speaker 1: just a lot of gossip and chatter and it was
- 1:01:48Speaker 1: ugly because she was a black woman. Okay, no matter
- 1:01:52Speaker 1: what you think of her, she is the first black
- 1:01:54Speaker 1: woman to be in that position. She moved and I
- 1:01:58Speaker 1: talked about this in the book. She moved Joe Biden forward.
- 1:02:01Speaker 1: She pushed him to move forward on matters of phrase.
- 1:02:04Speaker 1: Did she though when she Okay, you don't remember that
- 1:02:07Speaker 1: debate you don't remember remember that, but it was like
- 1:02:10Speaker 1: after she did that, when she called him out on
- 1:02:11Speaker 1: the bus, and it was like after that, it was
- 1:02:13Speaker 1: like almost like she got a phone called it like
- 1:02:16Speaker 1: and she kind of did a lot since well let
- 1:02:18Speaker 1: me but let me say this, and I talk about
- 1:02:20Speaker 1: this in the book. It was a lot of It
- 1:02:23Speaker 1: was a tense time. It was a huge moment that
- 1:02:27Speaker 1: I witnessed at the NUBLEACP presidential Forum debate when all
- 1:02:32Speaker 1: the candidates were there and she wouldn't get out of
- 1:02:35Speaker 1: her her van to come and talk with all of
- 1:02:39Speaker 1: the other candidates. She didn't come out and meet with
- 1:02:41Speaker 1: Joe Biden. There was a tension there and Joe Biden
- 1:02:45Speaker 1: was caught on a hot mic on stage with me
- 1:02:48Speaker 1: saying you know my heart, you know my heart. He
- 1:02:50Speaker 1: was hurting by it, and then backstage it was like
- 1:02:54Speaker 1: you know my heart, you know my heart. Kamala Harris
- 1:02:56Speaker 1: was not seeing backstage she was. It was It was
- 1:02:59Speaker 1: so tense. There was a come to Jesus moment. Somewhere,
- 1:03:02Speaker 1: there was a road to Damasks moment or something for
- 1:03:05Speaker 1: Joe Biden, because I never thought the way he felt
- 1:03:08Speaker 1: that pain, that those two would come together for this moment.
- 1:03:11Speaker 1: So something happened, there was a coming together. But what
- 1:03:15Speaker 1: happened was George Floyd right, this was a transformational moment.
- 1:03:20Speaker 1: And then you had Amy Klobashar saying, you need to
- 1:03:23Speaker 1: have a black woman as your running mate, and he
- 1:03:27Speaker 1: had a list to include Stacy Abrams, Susan Rice, Karen Bass,
- 1:03:32Speaker 1: so many other I want to give all them sisters
- 1:03:34Speaker 1: the credit too, that did that for the USA today,
- 1:03:36Speaker 1: That Angela Ry and Sonny and all, yeah, let's give
- 1:03:39Speaker 1: them yeah, yeah, yeah, most definitely. And that pressure, it
- 1:03:44Speaker 1: took pressure from all sides to make that happen. And
- 1:03:47Speaker 1: you know, Sonny and Answer, they took a hit for that.
- 1:03:50Speaker 1: They took a hit and Enjoy Read and Tiffany Cross,
- 1:03:53Speaker 1: they took a hit for that from the party, from
- 1:03:55Speaker 1: the party for standing up, pushing for what was right,
- 1:04:01Speaker 1: what was right. When you stand up and speak the obvious,
- 1:04:05Speaker 1: you get ridiculed, you get pushed back. It's terrible. You
- 1:04:09Speaker 1: have black women in Karine Jean Pierre, black women in
- 1:04:13Speaker 1: spaces and places that we've never occupied. And that's just governmental.
- 1:04:17Speaker 1: Let's talk about CEOs. Let's talk about the moves upward.
- 1:04:21Speaker 1: And this is a moment no one has said anything about.
- 1:04:25Speaker 1: And I said, you know, I got a market because
- 1:04:27Speaker 1: if you don't market and say, wait a minute, this
- 1:04:29Speaker 1: is a moment of history, we lose the advances. Black
- 1:04:32Speaker 1: women have taken a lot from a lot of different people,
- 1:04:35Speaker 1: a lot of different groups, and now it's time to
- 1:04:37Speaker 1: say we're here and we're not rolling it back. We
- 1:04:41Speaker 1: got more with April Ryan. When we come back, don't move.
- 1:04:43Speaker 1: It's to Breakfast Club. Good morning morning, Everybody's DJ Envy
- 1:04:49Speaker 1: Angela Yee. Charlomagne the guy. We are to Breakfast Club
- 1:04:52Speaker 1: on this Tuesday. We're still kicking it with April Ryan. Charlomagne. Oh,
- 1:04:56Speaker 1: as a journalist, you know, there's all these conversations about him.
- 1:05:00Speaker 1: Of speech. I don't think people really truly understand the
- 1:05:03Speaker 1: First Amendment because like you can, you can, you're free
- 1:05:05Speaker 1: to say whatever, but there are consequences behind the defamation
- 1:05:11Speaker 1: and libel. If you say something that someone doesn't like,
- 1:05:13Speaker 1: it could be consequenced. Kanye Alex Jones, well, no, his
- 1:05:18Speaker 1: his the baby's mother for two hundred and fifty million dollars.
- 1:05:22Speaker 1: That child has lost her father, That child is dealing
- 1:05:25Speaker 1: with a lot. You know, Yeah, people are supporting her,
- 1:05:28Speaker 1: but she doesn't have her daddy, and she will always remember,
- 1:05:33Speaker 1: she will always see that horrific image of her father.
- 1:05:37Speaker 1: I don't know if people are looking for attention, but
- 1:05:40Speaker 1: we have a responsibility. It's not okay, we have a
- 1:05:44Speaker 1: responsibility as journalist. Um Tucker Carlson shouldn't have done what
- 1:05:47Speaker 1: he did, having him on that show, and he was
- 1:05:50Speaker 1: sitting there smug and watching it. He loved it because
- 1:05:53Speaker 1: he was like, oh, this is ratings. That's all he
- 1:05:55Speaker 1: was thinking in his mom because Kanye was giving him
- 1:05:57Speaker 1: everything he wanted. He knew Kanye wasn't well. Chris Cuomo
- 1:06:02Speaker 1: bring up the issue. You know, I take my antidepression medicine.
- 1:06:06Speaker 1: I don't know what you can do for Kanye, but
- 1:06:08Speaker 1: what I know is I rather not talk about him,
- 1:06:11Speaker 1: and I'd rather not amplify the ignorance of his message.
- 1:06:16Speaker 1: How should we look at the role of journalism and
- 1:06:18Speaker 1: how it impacts politics, especially right now mcause I don't
- 1:06:22Speaker 1: feel like it's a lot of journalism out there. Are
- 1:06:24Speaker 1: you reading the Grio? Are you reading My Peace? Can
- 1:06:27Speaker 1: you read my stuff? Doctor Charlemagne? No, we got a newsletter.
- 1:06:31Speaker 1: You know what. See, He's so high and lofty. Go
- 1:06:34Speaker 1: to the gril dot com and look at the politics
- 1:06:36Speaker 1: section that April Ryan dropped down. Yeah, a lot of
- 1:06:40Speaker 1: people have platforms now who aren't necessarily journalists. Yes, and
- 1:06:44Speaker 1: that's the unfortunate piece, because we have a lot of
- 1:06:46Speaker 1: citizen journalists out here who give a lot of opinion
- 1:06:50Speaker 1: without facts. And that's part of the problem. Are we
- 1:06:53Speaker 1: are so uninformed and we're not believing what we're seeing
- 1:06:58Speaker 1: because so many people are talking things that are just
- 1:07:01Speaker 1: not true, giving us information that's skewed. The onus is
- 1:07:06Speaker 1: now on the reader, the listener, or the watcher to
- 1:07:11Speaker 1: figure out what is opinion versus fact. The line is blurred.
- 1:07:15Speaker 1: And then because you've got a lot of people out
- 1:07:17Speaker 1: here who are just pushing things out for to make themselves,
- 1:07:20Speaker 1: to make a name, to be on the breakfast club,
- 1:07:23Speaker 1: or to just push a narrative that's not true. And
- 1:07:28Speaker 1: it's a sad time. I mean, the greatness of social media,
- 1:07:31Speaker 1: the greatness of technology is everything, but when you have
- 1:07:34Speaker 1: people abusing it because it's so open, we have anyone
- 1:07:38Speaker 1: jumping on t it's true. Do you agree with seeing
- 1:07:41Speaker 1: the moving away from opinion based commentary to more what
- 1:07:46Speaker 1: they say what they want fact based news. I think
- 1:07:48Speaker 1: it's a good idea because we are so as you
- 1:07:52Speaker 1: guys just pointed out, we are so confused about what's what.
- 1:07:58Speaker 1: I think a lot of news organs. I think there's
- 1:08:00Speaker 1: a moment for opinion. I do. I do believe there's
- 1:08:04Speaker 1: a moment for opinion. But I also believe there's a
- 1:08:06Speaker 1: moment for fact. But we have to differentiate between the two.
- 1:08:09Speaker 1: And there's gonna be a lot of people getting in
- 1:08:11Speaker 1: trouble because I'm telling you, Miss Ryan, they do not
- 1:08:13Speaker 1: know the difference. I was literally having a discussion yesterday
- 1:08:16Speaker 1: with somebody about the whole George Floyd Kanye thing and
- 1:08:19Speaker 1: it was like, well, why is he getting sued for
- 1:08:21Speaker 1: his perspective. I'm like, it don't matter what your perspective
- 1:08:23Speaker 1: is when something has already been established as a fact.
- 1:08:26Speaker 1: He has a large platform, and what he says speaks
- 1:08:30Speaker 1: volumes to a larger and broader community that wants to
- 1:08:34Speaker 1: downplay and change the narrative and the impact of that,
- 1:08:38Speaker 1: that's what it is. The impact. It's not the fact
- 1:08:41Speaker 1: that he's just Kanye. The impact of what you're saying
- 1:08:44Speaker 1: it's devastating, and who you're giving it to where you're
- 1:08:48Speaker 1: getting it from. You're just repeating white supremacist rhetoric, the
- 1:08:51Speaker 1: same rhetor that they who's to try to get this
- 1:08:53Speaker 1: guy off. He's repeating it from Candace Owns his new
- 1:08:56Speaker 1: best friend. So a documentary that I never watch. Do
- 1:09:00Speaker 1: you think it's important to watch things? No, don't know. Yes,
- 1:09:04Speaker 1: it's important that I see what's out there so I
- 1:09:06Speaker 1: can be informed, like coming here, you know who knew
- 1:09:09Speaker 1: we were gonna talk about him? But you know, but
- 1:09:14Speaker 1: I haven't watched her documentary. I don't want to watch
- 1:09:16Speaker 1: her document right because I already know the basis of it.
- 1:09:19Speaker 1: I've talked to people in George Food's family. I've talked
- 1:09:25Speaker 1: to people in the community. I've talked to people who
- 1:09:27Speaker 1: were there when it happened. I've talked to Keith Allison,
- 1:09:33Speaker 1: the state attorney general. I don't need to hear Candice Owens,
- 1:09:38Speaker 1: you think people like attention from being a contrarian and
- 1:09:41Speaker 1: saying things that especially as is it attention or are
- 1:09:45Speaker 1: you being paid? Well? Is there a benefit of payoff
- 1:09:48Speaker 1: for you? You know? I mean if you are this
- 1:09:51Speaker 1: juxtaposed to your own community that you went into and
- 1:09:55Speaker 1: ask for help from the NAACP for something that happened
- 1:10:00Speaker 1: to you many years ago, and then you go polar opposite.
- 1:10:06Speaker 1: You wonder why. I mean, it's it's more than attention, right,
- 1:10:09Speaker 1: It's got to be more than attention. M Well, Brian,
- 1:10:15Speaker 1: the world. You know, like Bishop td Jakes told you,
- 1:10:17Speaker 1: I hope that you are celebrating myself. Thank you, and
- 1:10:20Speaker 1: I love that you came in here and you, you know,
- 1:10:22Speaker 1: gave me, uh you know, just lifted me up. And
- 1:10:26Speaker 1: I want to make sure we do the same thing
- 1:10:27Speaker 1: for you. I mean, thank you, sister. Black women will
- 1:10:29Speaker 1: save the world. An anthem, thank you. It's a Brian.
- 1:10:32Speaker 1: It's the breakfast Club, the breakfast Club. It's about Angela
- 1:10:47Speaker 1: need the breakfast Club. Well. Adidas has officially ended their
- 1:10:51Speaker 1: partnership with Kanye with immediate effect. They released a statement
- 1:10:56Speaker 1: today saying they do not tolerate anti Semitism and any
- 1:10:59Speaker 1: other sort of speech, and his recent comments were unacceptable, hateful,
- 1:11:03Speaker 1: and dangerous. Adida said they violated the company's values of
- 1:11:06Speaker 1: diversity and inclusion, mutual respect, and fairness. Now, sales and
- 1:11:11Speaker 1: productions of those Easy branded products have stopped, as well
- 1:11:14Speaker 1: as payments to Kanye and his companies, they're going to
- 1:11:17Speaker 1: take a two hundred and forty six a million dollar
- 1:11:19Speaker 1: hit to their fourth quarter sales because of this. They've
- 1:11:22Speaker 1: been partnered since twenty thirteen. That's when Adida signed that
- 1:11:26Speaker 1: deal and got Kanye away from Nike, And in twenty
- 1:11:30Speaker 1: sixteen they expanded their relationship with Kanye, saying it was
- 1:11:33Speaker 1: the most significant partnership ever created between a non athlete
- 1:11:36Speaker 1: and an athletic brand. But after he wore those White
- 1:11:39Speaker 1: Lives Matter t shirts in public, they actually had the
- 1:11:42Speaker 1: partnership under review and they said that is a hate
- 1:11:46Speaker 1: slogan used by white supremacist groups included the Ku Klux Klan.
- 1:11:50Speaker 1: Then when Kanye said I can say anti semitic ish
- 1:11:52Speaker 1: and Adidas cannot drop me on drink champs, that's when
- 1:11:55Speaker 1: they said yes again, my friend. That's one of the
- 1:11:57Speaker 1: most egal fueled comments I ever heard in my life. Like,
- 1:12:00Speaker 1: if you think that German company found about someone who
- 1:12:03Speaker 1: was in the Nazi Party was gonna hold on to
- 1:12:05Speaker 1: you after that, then the levels of narcissists you are
- 1:12:07Speaker 1: can't be defined. You can't be a German company. The
- 1:12:10Speaker 1: home or denotification and being bad with a Nazi. We
- 1:12:13Speaker 1: already told you. But Lanciaga cut ties. Vogue magazine publicly
- 1:12:17Speaker 1: cut ties. His talent agency CIAA dropped him as a client.
- 1:12:21Speaker 1: The production company MRC that was doing a documentary on
- 1:12:24Speaker 1: him said they are shelving that documentary. Shares of Adidas
- 1:12:27Speaker 1: fell after this news about five percent, and frankfort Yeah,
- 1:12:32Speaker 1: they said that yesterday. Though that's what I see. I
- 1:12:35Speaker 1: hear when people and it's not you, but I saw
- 1:12:36Speaker 1: somebody else say that. But yesterday we actually four days ago,
- 1:12:40Speaker 1: they were saying how Adidas dropped ten percent, and then
- 1:12:42Speaker 1: yesterday they had dropped as well. Because but they didn't
- 1:12:44Speaker 1: have nothing to do with Kanye. Well, I don't know
- 1:12:47Speaker 1: what it has to do with Butane and maybe it does.
- 1:12:51Speaker 1: I read, I read, I read it, but I can't
- 1:12:53Speaker 1: brief it over the radio that fast. But it wasn't
- 1:12:54Speaker 1: nothing to do with or something to do with something
- 1:12:57Speaker 1: going on in China. Well, anyway, they and I'm sure
- 1:13:00Speaker 1: that today we'll see sales job as well. You might see.
- 1:13:03Speaker 1: I mean that two hundred and forty six a million
- 1:13:04Speaker 1: dollar hit is a huge hit for a duty to
- 1:13:07Speaker 1: take in the fourth quarter. Yeahs, regardless of whether it's
- 1:13:11Speaker 1: kind of the effects of that is going to make
- 1:13:14Speaker 1: the shares drop. All I know is this is one
- 1:13:16Speaker 1: of the biggest els black man ever took in business,
- 1:13:19Speaker 1: and it's all self inflicted. This is self sabotage at
- 1:13:21Speaker 1: his finest. All of this literally happened for no reason,
- 1:13:24Speaker 1: just a series of poor choices, all rooted in bigotry,
- 1:13:27Speaker 1: anti Black, anti Semitic bigotry. And I pray that this
- 1:13:31Speaker 1: is the wake up called Kanye West needs to literally
- 1:13:33Speaker 1: go get some healing. That brother is hurting and hurt people,
- 1:13:36Speaker 1: hurt people. But that's not an excuse because he has
- 1:13:38Speaker 1: access to every single resource available to get some healing.
- 1:13:40Speaker 1: And I pray he gets it because he's really moving
- 1:13:42Speaker 1: like a person who doesn't plan to be hit much longer.
- 1:13:45Speaker 1: All right, now, let's talk about Black China. She's threatening
- 1:13:48Speaker 1: legal action against Aba Louise, who is a TikTok star
- 1:13:52Speaker 1: who is accused of Black China of trying to kidnap
- 1:13:55Speaker 1: and sex traffic her. Now Aba Louise, by the way,
- 1:14:00Speaker 1: according to this letter that Black China's attorney, JD. Sanchez
- 1:14:04Speaker 1: has sent out as a cease and desist. They also
- 1:14:07Speaker 1: said that Able Louise has made false, extreme and outrageous
- 1:14:10Speaker 1: statements about Black China in public, and rips her for
- 1:14:13Speaker 1: displaying a pattern of menacing an outrageous conduct on social media. Previously,
- 1:14:18Speaker 1: Able Louise is the person who admitted to making false
- 1:14:20Speaker 1: statements about Kanye was hooking up with Jeffrey Starr, the
- 1:14:23Speaker 1: makeup guru and you YouTuber. So here is what Aba
- 1:14:27Speaker 1: Louise was saying about Black China that's causing this lawsuit.
- 1:14:31Speaker 1: For six hours trying to help me hastage, she drank
- 1:14:34Speaker 1: an entire bottle of cast Amigos in front of me.
- 1:14:37Speaker 1: She wouldn't let me be alone. Every time she had
- 1:14:39Speaker 1: to use the bathroom, she would make me go into
- 1:14:41Speaker 1: the bathroom with her. She took in front of me.
- 1:14:44Speaker 1: She forced me to take a wet towel and wipe
- 1:14:47Speaker 1: off all off my makeup. She kept telling me that
- 1:14:50Speaker 1: I had to stay until ten am because that's when
- 1:14:52Speaker 1: Dream was going to be out of the home and
- 1:14:55Speaker 1: she was going to go crazy on me at ten am.
- 1:14:57Speaker 1: She kept saying things like that. At about nine forty
- 1:15:00Speaker 1: five am, trying to FaceTime some woman named Donna who
- 1:15:05Speaker 1: told me she was in the escorting industry. On FaceTime,
- 1:15:10Speaker 1: and told me that I was good product. All right.
- 1:15:15Speaker 1: Like I said, Black China is refuting these claims and
- 1:15:18Speaker 1: allegations and has a sea synthesist and is threatening now
- 1:15:21Speaker 1: to sue. Those are serious allegations to put out about somebody,
- 1:15:25Speaker 1: all right now. A Shanty, Jyrul and Fab are going
- 1:15:28Speaker 1: to be headlining the I Love R and B Festival

- 1:16:15Speaker 1: and just to be clear, like you know, because I
- 1:16:17Speaker 1: saw this yesterday, Adidas stock has been dropping over the
- 1:16:19Speaker 1: past few days, though it was not immediately clear if
- 1:16:22Speaker 1: the decline was directly linked to what's his controversy, because
- 1:16:25Speaker 1: they were trying to say that the stock was plummeting
- 1:16:27Speaker 1: because they refused to cut ties with Kanye West over
- 1:16:31Speaker 1: anti semitism. So it's not because they release them the
- 1:16:35Speaker 1: data to stocks dropped. All right, all right, well, thank

- 1:17:20Speaker 1: great job how they shot it. I don't want to
- 1:17:23Speaker 1: give it too much away, but they really break down
- 1:17:26Speaker 1: each episode different murders, and they talk to people that
- 1:17:30Speaker 1: you don't necessarily get a chance to hear from or see,
- 1:17:33Speaker 1: so they really, you know, do a deep dive into
- 1:17:36Speaker 1: these murders and talk to people around the you know,
- 1:17:39Speaker 1: the different states and UH members and local artists and
- 1:17:44Speaker 1: police officers, and they really get a lot of information.
