You know what I mean. 0:04:34.800 --> 0:04:36.880 It's but there's two sides of every story. But you know, 0:04:36.920 --> 0:04:40.480 I meant side of the kids side on the right side.

I'm nearly going on for fifty said. 0:04:54.920 --> 0:04:56.720 All the things he became saying was that he he 0:04:56.800 --> 0:04:59.320 setting money, he's sending money.

So you know, 0:07:16.880 --> 0:07:19.680 Kanye West is out in about he's doing podcasts. He's 0:07:19.720 --> 0:07:22.720 being asked questions and he's still talking. He's still talking. 0:07:23.200 --> 0:07:28.800 He talks about himself being canceled. I think about drop here. 0:07:28.960 --> 0:07:31.280 I ain't lose no money. They never take me nothing. Basically, 0:07:31.360 --> 0:07:33.680 do you think if he does, we're going through legal 0:07:33.760 --> 0:07:35.600 right now, say anything can happen. I think people just 0:07:35.640 --> 0:07:37.400 try to score points, you know what I'm saying, Like 0:07:37.840 --> 0:07:40.680 Maverick Carter hand me going the show just to say 0:07:40.720 --> 0:07:43.240 we took him off the show. Then I go on 0:07:43.400 --> 0:07:46.640 drink Champs, then they take it down. The day when 0:07:46.640 --> 0:07:48.840 I was taking off the bliss Yaga site that was 0:07:49.640 --> 0:07:51.760 that was one of the most free in days. You know. 0:07:52.080 --> 0:07:55.920 You know, we're about making product that's twenty dollars, the 0:07:55.960 --> 0:07:57.880 best design in the world, and that's the reason why 0:07:57.920 --> 0:08:01.280 we had brought the head designer from Leyadema, who's a 0:08:01.280 --> 0:08:03.040 great designer. That's why I brought him to the Gap 0:08:03.120 --> 0:08:05.559 in the first place, but they didn't allow that to happen. 0:08:05.760 --> 0:08:07.120 And that's why I had to get up out of 0:08:07.120 --> 0:08:10.280 those big corporations. I could get directly to the people. 0:08:10.800 --> 0:08:13.600 He's full of poopoo. By the way, man, please, if 0:08:13.680 --> 0:08:16.240 y'all think that Kanye was, if this is something like 0:08:16.480 --> 0:08:21.200 master strategic plan to get away from all of these corporations, 0:08:21.280 --> 0:08:24.120 y'all are bugging well. He said, he's not canceled, but 0:08:24.400 --> 0:08:27.640 how are you okay? So Ever since his comments recall 0:08:27.680 --> 0:08:29.800 label good music no longer part of death jam, you 0:08:29.840 --> 0:08:32.320 gotta dropped by his new lawyer, but Lencia can stopped 0:08:32.320 --> 0:08:35.319 working with him. Vold cut Ties dropped by Cia with 0:08:35.559 --> 0:08:39.640 a prominent Hollywood talent agency. Albums they say album by 0:08:39.720 --> 0:08:43.040 Kanye down twenty two percent through October twenty of no 0:08:43.200 --> 0:08:46.720 access to post on any social media platforms and JP 0:08:46.880 --> 0:08:49.520 Morgan bank cut ties when they don't want your money 0:08:49.520 --> 0:08:51.880 no more, bro, he said you yep, you said good music. 0:08:52.000 --> 0:08:56.000 You said Cia, you say his banking effort with him, 0:08:56.559 --> 0:08:59.560 no Instagram, no Twitter, and let's be Cleardidas is on 0:08:59.559 --> 0:09:02.000 the clock. I'm sure Adidas will be making their announcement 0:09:02.200 --> 0:09:04.160 any moment now. And they got a lot of pressure 0:09:04.200 --> 0:09:07.160 because Kanye literally said on drink Champs he can say 0:09:07.200 --> 0:09:09.760 anti Semitic comments and Adidas can't drop him, which is 0:09:09.800 --> 0:09:12.000 one of the most ego fueled comments I ever heard 0:09:12.040 --> 0:09:13.400 in my life. And the fact that they are a 0:09:13.400 --> 0:09:16.640 German company founded by someone who was in the Nazi Party. 0:09:16.920 --> 0:09:19.559 They can't be a German company the home of Denazification 0:09:19.600 --> 0:09:22.439 and being bad with a Nazi like KK. Kanye and 0:09:22.760 --> 0:09:25.480 his ex wife posted this yesterday. She said, hate speech 0:09:25.520 --> 0:09:27.679 is never okay or excusable.

Well, it was on a podcast, 0:10:08.320 --> 0:10:11.600 Alex Friedman podcast and they too, Freedman Slex and they 0:10:11.640 --> 0:10:14.160 talked about some of the things that Howard Stern said 0:10:14.160 --> 0:10:16.840 about Kanye and this was his response, Boy, Howard Stern, 0:10:16.880 --> 0:10:18.839 nobody wants to kiss you. To shut the fuck up, 0:10:19.160 --> 0:10:21.800 I said, by the way, I've antagonized you, Howard Stern. 0:10:22.240 --> 0:10:24.640 I used to be a fan of you. Now you're 0:10:24.679 --> 0:10:27.760 just doing clickbait like everybody else. Now you're just a 0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:31.800 saddle man, Howard. All right now, Howard Stern, this is 0:10:31.800 --> 0:10:36.240 the first time anyone's said your name in years. Your 0:10:36.280 --> 0:10:38.640 own family doesn't say your name unless they're calling to 0:10:38.720 --> 0:10:45.280 get their bills paid. You're going hard. I see. That's 0:10:45.320 --> 0:10:48.680 beautiful right there. That's much better than calling Jewish media 0:10:49.000 --> 0:10:52.840 call go after individuals about you know what it's about 0:10:52.840 --> 0:10:55.079 that Kanye. Kanye sounds like he's talking about himself when 0:10:55.080 --> 0:10:57.200 he said that, Like that's how people feel about him, 0:10:57.400 --> 0:10:58.880 really call him when they asking for money. Well, no, 0:10:58.920 --> 0:11:00.559 they used to be fans, and I didn't think he's 0:11:00.559 --> 0:11:02.600 just a sad old man who's doing things for clickbait. 0:11:02.840 --> 0:11:05.800 Like you antagonize black people for clickbait. You antagonized Jewish 0:11:05.800 --> 0:11:07.480 people for clickbait. Now you got to deal with the 0:11:07.520 --> 0:11:11.520 consequences of being an anti black, anti Semitic nazi. Oh. 0:11:11.559 --> 0:11:14.120 He also talks about why people love him people just 0:11:14.160 --> 0:11:16.199 in general. They love me so much. I'm like, actually 0:11:16.240 --> 0:11:19.079 a hard guy to really hate for a long period 0:11:19.080 --> 0:11:22.560 of time. It's just because, like because like my huge cock. 0:11:23.360 --> 0:11:25.640 And that's what I know. I didn't I didn't understand 0:11:25.640 --> 0:11:27.200 why he showed it to me when we first met. 0:11:27.559 --> 0:11:32.280 But now I understand. Yeah, it's very nice. Congratulations. I've 0:11:32.320 --> 0:11:34.880 heard of a lot of rumors, but I haven't heard that. 0:11:36.760 --> 0:11:39.280 Sounds nasty. I'm just telling never heard Kanye had a 0:11:39.280 --> 0:11:41.200 big penis. Why would you hear that? Why why would 0:11:41.200 --> 0:11:44.839 you have when you talked about penis? But you know what, now, 0:11:44.840 --> 0:11:46.760 he wants that. He wants that, he wants that energy 0:11:46.840 --> 0:11:48.520 Pete Davidson getting out here. He wanted to be me 0:11:48.600 --> 0:11:50.600 too easy. You ain't about to be me too easy. 0:11:50.640 --> 0:11:54.000 Not it's MEDIPD, you know, Tesla figure Testling. Figirl coined 0:11:54.000 --> 0:11:56.120 the term MEDIPD. There's MEDIPD. Ain't about to be no 0:11:56.200 --> 0:11:59.440 medio easy. I've never care anybody say me easy. I 0:11:59.440 --> 0:12:02.120 wish Kanye, he loved himself the way people love him. 0:12:02.200 --> 0:12:04.320 That dude don't love himself. That's why he can't love 0:12:04.400 --> 0:12:06.760 nobody else. He don't. He don't love black people. He 0:12:06.760 --> 0:12:09.120 don't love Jewish people because you don't love himself. He 0:12:09.160 --> 0:12:10.599 don't love the skin that he is. Let me just 0:12:10.679 --> 0:12:13.400 ask you that I'm telling that man seeks white validations 0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:16.440 so freaking what he I told y'all this, I'll tell 0:12:16.440 --> 0:12:18.400 you all this all the time. He seeks white validations 0:12:18.400 --> 0:12:20.160 so much. Then he turned around and tried to be 0:12:20.200 --> 0:12:22.600 so pro black and then you know, y'all ride with it. 0:12:23.360 --> 0:12:26.360 What the reality is he don't love himself, so he 0:12:26.360 --> 0:12:28.439 could never love y'all. I tell y'all he was a 0:12:28.480 --> 0:12:30.319 clam months ago. Let me ask you a question. You know, 0:12:30.600 --> 0:12:32.600 and when we see this with artists and we see 0:12:32.640 --> 0:12:34.480 people say the wrong things, we see people get camped. 0:12:34.480 --> 0:12:36.360 So we see people there's a reason, like we could 0:12:36.360 --> 0:12:38.840 point to it. What's what's his reason? Like why I 0:12:38.840 --> 0:12:41.640 have no idea if there ever comes up, there's a 0:12:41.679 --> 0:12:45.800 handbook of self sabotage. This is it? Like this is it? 0:12:46.200 --> 0:12:48.400 Like he did all of this to himself. He decided 0:12:48.440 --> 0:12:51.600 to put on you know, the White Lives Matter shirt 0:12:51.920 --> 0:12:55.120 antagonizing black people, knowing that, you know that slogan was 0:12:55.160 --> 0:12:59.200 created by white supremacist hate groups. When black people started 0:12:59.240 --> 0:13:01.720 to affirm himselves with the term black Lives Matter, you know, 0:13:01.760 --> 0:13:03.960 he decided to get on Twitter and say, you know, 0:13:04.000 --> 0:13:06.240 he's about to go deaf Con three on Jewish people. 0:13:06.240 --> 0:13:08.080 He decided to go on drink Champs and you know, 0:13:08.120 --> 0:13:11.480 tell those lives about how George Floyd you know, uh 0:13:11.920 --> 0:13:14.599 got killed. You know. So it's just like he he 0:13:15.000 --> 0:13:19.000 made those eight what did he say? Slavery was a choice? 0:13:19.080 --> 0:13:20.520 The words that are coming out of his mouth for 0:13:20.600 --> 0:13:23.800 a choice, I don't you know he got to deal 0:13:23.800 --> 0:13:25.719 with the consequences of those words at this point. You 0:13:25.800 --> 0:13:28.319 gotta deal with the consequences of being an anti black, 0:13:28.520 --> 0:13:36.480 anti Semitic Nazi. All right, Well that is Kanye Goodness gracious, 0:13:36.520 --> 0:13:39.040 that's who he is. Jesus Christ. Now you want to 0:13:39.080 --> 0:13:41.240 have a big penis. But that's all you got out 0:13:41.240 --> 0:13:46.880 of all this David and Peters rolls driving him crazy. 0:13:46.920 --> 0:13:51.439 Now you want to have a big penis. That PENI 0:13:51.520 --> 0:13:55.640 is really upseting like that you're just randomly volunteering a 0:13:55.760 --> 0:13:59.400 n because of my big all right, Okay, I've never 0:13:59.440 --> 0:14:02.480 heard that one.

We've seen what rain the 0:15:29.960 --> 0:15:33.840 last three days straight, so the weather's pretty nasty. We 0:15:33.880 --> 0:15:36.000 got to send a rest in piece to Leslie Jordan. 0:15:36.680 --> 0:15:38.360 He died at the age of sixty seven, they said, 0:15:38.360 --> 0:15:41.720 in a car accident. They said, he's best known from 0:15:42.240 --> 0:15:44.760 Will and Grace. Do you watch that? No, I never 0:15:44.760 --> 0:15:46.760 watched Wiland Grace. I mean I'm familiar with it, but 0:15:46.800 --> 0:15:49.440 I never watched it. Yeah, So man sixty seven nine 0:15:49.440 --> 0:15:53.720 a car accident. Jesus Christ, he passed away yesterday. And lastly, 0:15:54.440 --> 0:15:56.080 I haven't been following this too much, so maybe you 0:15:56.080 --> 0:15:58.280 could help us out now Florida governor debate between the 0:15:58.320 --> 0:16:01.120 Santis and Christ and Chris. I mean you debated Christ. 0:16:01.280 --> 0:16:03.560 Damn Jesus had to go ahead. Hold on, y'all got 0:16:03.640 --> 0:16:07.000 Jesus running from governor of Florida. Y'all need it. I 0:16:07.120 --> 0:16:10.280 know Jesus body run to Santus in a beat, Christ 0:16:10.400 --> 0:16:16.240 and Chris. And now here's some of the debates. Charlie, 0:16:16.240 --> 0:16:20.480 I'm looking to put out the pasture is Charlie. Chris. Yeah, well, Ron, 0:16:20.760 --> 0:16:22.960 we know you love to bully people. And the little 0:16:23.040 --> 0:16:26.280 name calling you just exchange. I can take it, but 0:16:26.360 --> 0:16:28.680 you shouldn't do it when children are stand behind you 0:16:28.760 --> 0:16:31.880 at a press conference when they're wearing a mask. Didn't help. 0:16:33.360 --> 0:16:36.440 But apparently that's your nature and that's too bad. Then 0:16:36.480 --> 0:16:38.760 they went back and forth about a bullshit about the 0:16:38.960 --> 0:16:43.880 hurricane response. The state's all going culture was rising Republicans' 0:16:43.920 --> 0:16:47.160 Future and a host of others. They also talk about 0:16:47.240 --> 0:16:51.960 stolen land. It Actually, if you look around the country, 0:16:51.960 --> 0:16:54.680 they do have programs. Unfortunately, well, they will take a 0:16:54.760 --> 0:16:56.880 student look at their race, say okay, you're white, you're 0:16:56.880 --> 0:16:59.520 an oppressor. If you're black, you're oppressed, and think about 0:16:59.520 --> 0:17:01.560 what that does to a six or seven year old kid. 0:17:01.960 --> 0:17:04.880 That's wrong. You're seeing that you have people that are 0:17:04.920 --> 0:17:07.919 teaching and actually his running mate has said this in 0:17:07.920 --> 0:17:10.679 the past, that teaching the United States was built on 0:17:10.800 --> 0:17:14.000 stolen land. That is inappropriate for our schools. It's not true. 0:17:14.040 --> 0:17:16.800 It's the truth. What it's not inappropriate is the truth. 0:17:17.080 --> 0:17:21.320 Maddy also talk about race theory. He talks not teaching 0:17:21.359 --> 0:17:24.159 about the history of our country. That might offend some 0:17:24.280 --> 0:17:27.480 people in our schools. We ought to teach facts in 0:17:27.520 --> 0:17:31.280 our school There's an old expression run those who don't 0:17:31.320 --> 0:17:34.359 know history may be condemned to repeat it. Usually people 0:17:34.359 --> 0:17:36.920 who use that in reference to the Holocaust. It could 0:17:37.119 --> 0:17:39.719 just as easily be referenced to slavery in our country. 0:17:40.080 --> 0:17:43.399 It happened. It's a fact. We shouldn't have a whitewash 0:17:43.680 --> 0:17:46.520 approach to educating our children. How are they going to 0:17:46.600 --> 0:17:48.399 do well in life if they don't even know our 0:17:48.440 --> 0:17:51.000 own history and we're not going to teach people to 0:17:51.000 --> 0:17:53.320 hate each other in our schools. I don't have hate 0:17:53.359 --> 0:17:55.520 in my heart, and I don't think we need to 0:17:55.560 --> 0:17:58.080 be doing that in our school I just don't understand 0:17:58.080 --> 0:18:00.119 how Flawda does it. How Flawda says, you know what, 0:18:00.520 --> 0:18:04.280 the past. We the past is too hurtful. We're just 0:18:04.359 --> 0:18:07.399 not gonna go over the past and explain what really happens. 0:18:07.800 --> 0:18:09.840 It's a lot of different places doing that. But wow, 0:18:09.960 --> 0:18:12.359 the reality of the situation is because it hurts somebody 0:18:12.359 --> 0:18:15.800 feeling to know the truth. Yeah, that's where less saw. 0:18:16.280 --> 0:18:19.040 The reality of the situation is um brond the Santis 0:18:19.200 --> 0:18:22.800 is still gonna when and become governor, be governor of 0:18:22.800 --> 0:18:25.359 Florida again. I think I saw Paul yesterday that shows 0:18:25.359 --> 0:18:28.320 Hispanic voters in Florida favorite the Stantus for governor like 0:18:29.600 --> 0:18:32.680 forty four percent or something like that. Oh my goodness, 0:18:32.720 --> 0:18:36.199 that's crazy.

I mean, this 0:20:26.880 --> 0:20:28.600 is a really exciting time for the work we're doing. 0:20:28.640 --> 0:20:31.240 So why do you like a position? You know, since 0:20:31.280 --> 0:20:33.399 you started, how has it been for you? Stressful and 0:20:33.480 --> 0:20:37.200 non stressful? Well, gray hair, tell us about it. Definitely 0:20:37.240 --> 0:20:39.240 more gray. I mean what I say is it's it's 0:20:39.280 --> 0:20:41.359 the best time but also one of the toughest times 0:20:41.359 --> 0:20:45.320 for transportation. It's the best time because we're making investments 0:20:45.359 --> 0:20:48.640 that we haven't been able to do in my lifetime, 0:20:48.680 --> 0:20:51.320 the funding that's in the infrastructure package. The other side 0:20:51.359 --> 0:20:55.080 of the coin is we've actually been through more disruptions 0:20:55.119 --> 0:20:57.600 to the transportation system in the last couple of years 0:20:58.040 --> 0:21:00.600 than at any time, with the partial exception to nine 0:21:00.640 --> 0:21:03.680 to eleven. Then anytime since World War Two. We've had 0:21:03.840 --> 0:21:07.320 container shipping issues, We've had cancelations and delays in our airports. 0:21:07.760 --> 0:21:10.760 We've had a number of disruptions everything from trucking and 0:21:10.800 --> 0:21:15.080 supply chains to passenger travel. But we've been working through 0:21:15.119 --> 0:21:18.520 those and the causes of those are mostly temporary. Most 0:21:18.560 --> 0:21:20.560 of it have something to do with the pandemic. So 0:21:20.600 --> 0:21:24.000 as we're tackling those issues, the investments that we're making, 0:21:24.040 --> 0:21:26.160 the repairs that we're making, the improvements that we're making 0:21:26.200 --> 0:21:29.920 to the transportation system, that's permanent. So I love the job. 0:21:30.080 --> 0:21:33.800 It's been almost a year since the infrastruction, that's right. Yeah, 0:21:33.800 --> 0:21:36.120 I signed it in November. So what have the updates been? 0:21:36.280 --> 0:21:38.879 So one year in, we've been standing up all of 0:21:38.920 --> 0:21:41.280 the different programs that it created and starting to move 0:21:41.320 --> 0:21:44.280 the money out, something like one hundred billion dollars already 0:21:44.480 --> 0:21:49.320 moving in order to fix roads, fixed bridges, airports. We 0:21:49.320 --> 0:21:52.560 were just in Orlando. We're improving the airport there. We're 0:21:52.600 --> 0:21:55.359 just in Detroit. We announced a project there. We're putting 0:21:55.359 --> 0:21:57.760 one hundred million in to help Detroit take I three 0:21:57.840 --> 0:22:01.560 seventy five, which cuts right through it. They destroyed a 0:22:01.560 --> 0:22:04.560 couple of neighborhoods when they built it, and it's just 0:22:04.640 --> 0:22:07.480 like a gash. It just kind of slices those mostly 0:22:07.520 --> 0:22:11.080 black neighborhoods apart from from downtown. We're going to lift 0:22:11.119 --> 0:22:13.080 it up and turn it into a boulevard and use 0:22:13.119 --> 0:22:16.600 it to reconnect the community. We're doing a project in 0:22:16.600 --> 0:22:19.960 the Inland Empire Fontana, California, part of the region that 0:22:20.000 --> 0:22:22.640 doesn't get as much attention as LA. You got kids 0:22:22.640 --> 0:22:25.320 who have to walk basically on a highway. There's this 0:22:25.720 --> 0:22:28.959 road that has no gut or no curve, no sidewalk, 0:22:29.320 --> 0:22:31.200 and in order to get to high school, they're they're 0:22:31.200 --> 0:22:34.560 competing with cars and trucks, and we're funding an improvement 0:22:34.560 --> 0:22:37.679 that's going to fix that. We're doing the elimination of 0:22:37.800 --> 0:22:42.240 railroad crossing. Literally hundreds and hundreds of projects, so getting 0:22:42.240 --> 0:22:44.440 those under way, who's been the work of the last year. 0:22:44.640 --> 0:22:46.480 It's a five year bill, so the Bill of Presence 0:22:46.520 --> 0:22:49.320 sign has five years of funding. We're just through year 0:22:49.400 --> 0:22:51.560 one and it's really I mean, it's still the very 0:22:51.600 --> 0:22:53.159 beginning of a lot of what we're working on, but 0:22:53.400 --> 0:22:55.720 we're starting to see the results now. Secretary Pete, another 0:22:55.760 --> 0:22:58.560 issue always is this right making sure that black owned 0:22:58.600 --> 0:23:02.040 businesses also have access to getting some of those contracts 0:23:02.040 --> 0:23:03.879 to get this work done. So where are we with that, 0:23:03.880 --> 0:23:07.000 because I know that's something that's been needing improvement. Yeah, 0:23:07.040 --> 0:23:08.920 so a lot of work to do here, a lot 0:23:08.960 --> 0:23:11.359 of progress that we've made. The first part is the 0:23:11.400 --> 0:23:15.320 contracts that we directly control out of the Department of Transportation. 0:23:15.440 --> 0:23:19.280 So we set a goal for STB Small Disadvantaged Businesses 0:23:19.600 --> 0:23:22.240 of twenty percent. There's a more ambitious goal than we've 0:23:22.240 --> 0:23:24.280 been able to set before, and so far we're beating 0:23:24.320 --> 0:23:27.520 that goal. But I have to say for every dollar 0:23:27.600 --> 0:23:31.040 that we contract out of the Department directly, there's about 0:23:31.080 --> 0:23:33.800 ten dollars that go out indirectly. In other words, we 0:23:33.960 --> 0:23:37.320 fund a transit agency like the MTA or a state 0:23:37.359 --> 0:23:40.680 Department of Transportation or a city that's rebuilding a bridge 0:23:40.760 --> 0:23:43.240 or an airport, and then they do the actual contracts. 0:23:43.280 --> 0:23:45.359 So we're working with them to make sure that they 0:23:45.520 --> 0:23:48.439 are inviting more businesses to the table that haven't had 0:23:48.440 --> 0:23:52.159 a seat before. Black owned businesses have enormous potential right 0:23:52.200 --> 0:23:55.400 now to do all kinds of work, not just if 0:23:55.400 --> 0:23:59.240 they're directly involved in construction and engineering, but if you're 0:23:59.280 --> 0:24:02.680 involved in let's say accounting serving one of the companies 0:24:02.680 --> 0:24:05.600 that is doing the construction right there's opportunity there too. 0:24:05.800 --> 0:24:07.879 So we're actually in the middle right now of the 0:24:08.000 --> 0:24:12.960 process of redoing the policy for dB disadvantaged business enterprises 0:24:12.960 --> 0:24:15.399 where there's a history of discrimination and we have legal 0:24:15.400 --> 0:24:19.200 authority to pay particular attention to creating opportunity there. You 0:24:19.200 --> 0:24:22.800 can go online. I know the website Regulations dot gov 0:24:22.920 --> 0:24:24.840 probably does not sound like what a lot of people 0:24:24.880 --> 0:24:26.880 are excited to check out on Monday morning, but there 0:24:26.920 --> 0:24:28.439 is a chance right now through the end of this 0:24:28.480 --> 0:24:31.080 month to weigh in. If you're involved with a black 0:24:31.080 --> 0:24:34.480 owned business or any kind of MB your dB and 0:24:34.640 --> 0:24:39.480 you've had an experience trouble getting certified, a problem getting 0:24:39.480 --> 0:24:41.400 a seat at the table, or you have a success 0:24:41.400 --> 0:24:44.640 story to share about how public work, maybe being part 0:24:44.680 --> 0:24:46.960 of a construction project help you build your business. Now 0:24:47.080 --> 0:24:50.200 is a great time to enter public comments about your 0:24:50.240 --> 0:24:54.520 experience through Regulations dot gov on our DBE rule, because 0:24:54.840 --> 0:24:57.040 that will be part of what we use to make 0:24:57.080 --> 0:25:00.439 decisions about how to update the rule. Bottom line, nobody 0:25:00.480 --> 0:25:03.480 has a better track record of creating jobs and opportunity 0:25:03.880 --> 0:25:05.720 for people who have been left out in the past, 0:25:06.280 --> 0:25:10.680 including women in construction, including black building trades workers, than 0:25:11.160 --> 0:25:13.160 businesses who are owned by people who've been left out 0:25:13.160 --> 0:25:15.040 of the past. And I'm really excited about what we 0:25:15.040 --> 0:25:16.720 can do. But it's not going to happen on its own. 0:25:16.800 --> 0:25:19.440 That's why we're putting a lot of effort and emphasis 0:25:19.480 --> 0:25:20.959 on it, and I think we're gonna have a lot 0:25:20.960 --> 0:25:24.159 of results. I just sat down with the National Association 0:25:24.160 --> 0:25:27.160 of Black Women in Construction. They have incredible success stories 0:25:27.200 --> 0:25:29.720 about how they've created opportunity, but also about what it's 0:25:29.760 --> 0:25:32.000 like trying to get a seat at the table because 0:25:32.160 --> 0:25:34.280 there's been a pattern in the past where you kind 0:25:34.280 --> 0:25:37.360 of had to already be in the business, already be connected, 0:25:37.400 --> 0:25:41.040 already be doing business with units of government to feel 0:25:41.080 --> 0:25:42.520 like you were in the know about what the next 0:25:42.560 --> 0:25:44.399 opportunity was going to be. So we're trying to make 0:25:44.520 --> 0:25:47.880 that more transparent. So I don't have any illusions about 0:25:47.960 --> 0:25:50.280 the work ahead. But I think we're going to be 0:25:50.320 --> 0:25:53.320 really proud of the opportunities that we create if we 0:25:53.359 --> 0:25:55.359 stay very focused on it. That's all you and philing 0:25:55.840 --> 0:25:58.000 how do you do that? Though you know, the conversation 0:25:58.000 --> 0:26:00.840 was about how do you diversify federal tracts in black 0:26:01.000 --> 0:26:02.840 and black and brown people? So how do you go 0:26:02.880 --> 0:26:04.920 about doing it? So the first thing that we did 0:26:05.000 --> 0:26:06.720 just when we were there was talking about some of 0:26:06.760 --> 0:26:09.919 the challenges they faced. So for example, access to capital. 0:26:09.920 --> 0:26:12.120 If you're trying to get started or you haven't had 0:26:12.119 --> 0:26:14.600 these kind of big business opportunities, just being able to 0:26:14.600 --> 0:26:17.439 get capital funding or cash flow. Right, if you're a 0:26:17.480 --> 0:26:20.840 giant multinational corporation and one of your vendors takes two, three, 0:26:20.920 --> 0:26:25.119 four months to pay, or now one of your customers, 0:26:25.680 --> 0:26:28.160 then you can absorb that. If you're a small business 0:26:28.200 --> 0:26:30.920 and a lot of these businesses starting out or businesses 0:26:30.960 --> 0:26:33.200 that are just trying to break their way in, they 0:26:33.240 --> 0:26:36.040 need prompt payment right, stuff like that. So we're talking 0:26:36.040 --> 0:26:38.200 about those direct issues that can be on an obstacle, 0:26:38.400 --> 0:26:41.320 but also we've got to have conversations with the prime 0:26:41.400 --> 0:26:43.560 contractors that are bringing on a lot of these black 0:26:43.560 --> 0:26:46.560 owned businesses as subs about how to be more inclusive 0:26:46.600 --> 0:26:48.320 and how to get some of these subs to be 0:26:48.400 --> 0:26:50.119 in a position where someday they can be the primes. 0:26:50.320 --> 0:26:51.760 We're talking to a lot of state leaders. I was 0:26:51.760 --> 0:26:54.200 at convening Friday in Florida with all of the state 0:26:54.280 --> 0:26:57.720 departments of Transportation in their heads saying that that you know, 0:26:57.760 --> 0:27:00.000 we're counting on you to create more of these opportunity. 0:27:00.240 --> 0:27:02.320 So there's a lot of different pieces of them, but 0:27:02.359 --> 0:27:04.240 there's a lot of things that we're doing in parallel, 0:27:04.280 --> 0:27:06.800 including this DVE role that that I was just mentioning 0:27:07.040 --> 0:27:08.679 that we hope there's a lot of public input on 0:27:08.720 --> 0:27:13.760 because then we can actually update the formal processes around contracting, 0:27:14.320 --> 0:27:17.000 the way the directories are built, just even the expectation 0:27:17.000 --> 0:27:19.440 of the requirement that you check to see if there 0:27:19.440 --> 0:27:22.480 are any new minority owned businesses that could be doing 0:27:22.480 --> 0:27:24.080 the work that you're about to open a contract for 0:27:24.440 --> 0:27:26.119 before you sign a contract. We got them all with 0:27:26.200 --> 0:27:28.359 secretary people. When we come back is the breakfast Club 0:27:28.359 --> 0:27:32.080 Good morning, Jay Envy, angelau Ye Charlemagne, the guy we 0:27:32.119 --> 0:27:34.760 are to Breakfast Club was still kicking it with Secretary Pete. 0:27:34.800 --> 0:27:37.600 You know, with the with the airlines, I mean, it's 0:27:37.600 --> 0:27:40.199 been horrendous. It's been horrible. People have been missing, you know, 0:27:40.280 --> 0:27:44.480 birthdays and weddings and funerals and families. What are we 0:27:44.520 --> 0:27:46.960 going to do to fix that? I've gotten better though, yeah, 0:27:47.040 --> 0:27:49.840 I know, this is gotten better. The couples still bad, 0:27:49.880 --> 0:27:54.160 like you know, and like she said, prices are high. 0:27:54.200 --> 0:27:55.640 So what are we doing to fix that? Are they 0:27:55.640 --> 0:27:58.080 finding the airlines? And right, so what are we doing 0:27:58.119 --> 0:28:00.800 for Yeah, so it did get better, but it was 0:28:00.840 --> 0:28:03.120 tough over the summer. We got big holiday seasons coming 0:28:03.160 --> 0:28:05.520 up that are going to test whether these improvements are 0:28:05.520 --> 0:28:09.080 going to hold. There's three sets of things we're doing. First, finds, 0:28:09.320 --> 0:28:12.439 so airlines are required to do things like offer you 0:28:12.480 --> 0:28:15.280 a refund if your flight gets canceled, and a lot 0:28:15.280 --> 0:28:17.199 of the airlines were slow to do that or they 0:28:17.200 --> 0:28:19.440 didn't do it at all. So we're subjecting them to 0:28:19.520 --> 0:28:21.680 find because we enforce that rule that you got to 0:28:21.680 --> 0:28:24.679 get a refund. That's part one. Part two, though, is 0:28:24.720 --> 0:28:27.159 the rules themselves need to be tougher. So that's another 0:28:27.160 --> 0:28:29.840 thing that we have in the process right now. It 0:28:29.920 --> 0:28:33.320 takes a while, it's a very ponderous legal process. You 0:28:33.400 --> 0:28:35.280 got to go through a lot of comment periods, but 0:28:36.080 --> 0:28:38.800 we've got that open right now on things like raising 0:28:38.840 --> 0:28:40.920 the floor, how long of a delay counts as a 0:28:41.040 --> 0:28:42.920 serious enough delay that the airline's got to give you 0:28:42.960 --> 0:28:45.560 a refund? And then the third part that has really 0:28:45.600 --> 0:28:48.800 helped is it's just transparency. So we set up a 0:28:48.840 --> 0:28:54.000 website that makes clear which airlines will do what when 0:28:54.040 --> 0:28:56.240 you get stuck with a delay. For example, will they 0:28:56.240 --> 0:28:58.520 give you a vatcher for a female? Will they book 0:28:58.560 --> 0:29:00.600 you on another flight? Will they look you on another 0:29:00.600 --> 0:29:02.840 flight even if it's only on another airline that there's 0:29:02.920 --> 0:29:05.240 a free flight, things like that. I wrote a letter 0:29:05.280 --> 0:29:07.080 to the CEOs of the airlines said, look, in a 0:29:07.120 --> 0:29:08.680 week or two, we're going to put this website up, 0:29:08.840 --> 0:29:12.200 So now would be a good time to fix your problem. Yeah, 0:29:12.240 --> 0:29:13.600 now it would be a good time to up your game. 0:29:13.800 --> 0:29:16.560 And they did. We went in two weeks from zero 0:29:16.680 --> 0:29:18.720 out of the top ten airlines to nine out of 0:29:18.720 --> 0:29:22.000 the top ten airlines that will offer you at least 0:29:22.040 --> 0:29:24.480 offer you food or hotel or something like that. So 0:29:24.840 --> 0:29:26.760 you can check it out on our website transportation dot com. 0:29:26.800 --> 0:29:30.120 It's a passenger dashboard just to give you the information 0:29:30.160 --> 0:29:32.160 so you can make a decision when you're favorite. I 0:29:32.160 --> 0:29:33.960 want to ask for some time, what do you don't 0:29:34.000 --> 0:29:35.840 know it exists? I know you know what I learned 0:29:35.840 --> 0:29:37.920 When my bags get delayed coming out, if it takes 0:29:37.920 --> 0:29:40.520 more than twenty minutes. You get Miley's credit, but you 0:29:40.520 --> 0:29:42.240 have you have to go in and ask for it, right, Yeah, yeah, 0:29:42.280 --> 0:29:45.240 you have to know that that doesn't follow any of 0:29:45.280 --> 0:29:49.000 this protocol. That's not give a nothing back. So i'd 0:29:49.040 --> 0:29:51.440 invite you to check the dad. I don't want to 0:29:51.480 --> 0:29:53.520 pick winners and losers here, but it's really interesting. We 0:29:53.560 --> 0:29:55.040 know we got a little green check marks, little red 0:29:55.120 --> 0:29:58.040 xes on who does what? Look. Some airlines have decided 0:29:58.720 --> 0:30:01.640 we're going to offer less customer service and we're going 0:30:01.680 --> 0:30:04.200 to be really cheap, and as long as everybody knows 0:30:04.240 --> 0:30:06.600 that going into it, that's fine. But what we can 0:30:06.720 --> 0:30:08.560 have happened is, first of all, we have to have 0:30:08.560 --> 0:30:10.400 a floor where I don't care how cheap the ticket is. 0:30:10.800 --> 0:30:12.480 There are certain things you can do to a passenger, 0:30:12.600 --> 0:30:14.960 like leave them completely stuck and not offer a refund. 0:30:15.160 --> 0:30:17.520 But also as you're making those choices, we've got to 0:30:17.520 --> 0:30:19.240 make sure it's transparent. We got to make sure it's clear. 0:30:19.240 --> 0:30:21.200 And we have more work coming up on things like 0:30:21.360 --> 0:30:23.440 these fees, these little extra fees that aren't part of 0:30:23.480 --> 0:30:26.200 the airfare, but you wind up paying for them, and 0:30:26.680 --> 0:30:28.680 that's part of the cost of traveling on a certain airline. 0:30:29.080 --> 0:30:30.880 They got to be upfront about that what was causing 0:30:31.160 --> 0:30:34.040 these flight cancelations and delays over to thumbody, you know. 0:30:34.280 --> 0:30:35.960 So yeah, like a lot of things in our economy, 0:30:35.960 --> 0:30:37.680 part of it had to do with staffing, hiring, being 0:30:37.680 --> 0:30:39.880 able to find people. What's frustrating about that, I think 0:30:39.920 --> 0:30:42.560 for a lot of us is we put billions of 0:30:42.600 --> 0:30:45.200 dollars into saving the airline industry and one of the 0:30:45.200 --> 0:30:48.520 conditions was you can't fire people if you're taking this 0:30:48.560 --> 0:30:52.240 federal money. Now they lived up to that, but they 0:30:52.320 --> 0:30:54.520 let a lot of people go into early retirement, including 0:30:54.520 --> 0:30:56.520 pilots that are hard to replace. It takes a very 0:30:56.520 --> 0:30:59.640 long time to qualify a pilot. So when the demand 0:30:59.640 --> 0:31:01.440 came act and we're glad it did, I mean, it's 0:31:01.440 --> 0:31:03.000 a good thing. It's a good sign for our economy 0:31:03.000 --> 0:31:04.840 that so many people want to fly, but it came 0:31:04.880 --> 0:31:07.960 back faster than they were prepared for, and our messages 0:31:08.000 --> 0:31:09.800 you've got to be We're glad that demand is back, 0:31:09.800 --> 0:31:11.440 but you've got to be prepared to service and tickets 0:31:11.440 --> 0:31:13.840 that you're selling. You're collecting money on this right. Another 0:31:13.840 --> 0:31:16.760 thing that we've talked about is scheduling, realistic scheduling, so 0:31:16.880 --> 0:31:18.520 if you know that you don't aren't going to have 0:31:18.560 --> 0:31:20.960 the staff on this route. Doll schedule has many flights 0:31:21.480 --> 0:31:24.160 and that's gotten better, and that's one of the reasons 0:31:24.160 --> 0:31:26.480 we aren't seeing the cancelation rates, like you said. But 0:31:26.520 --> 0:31:28.880 the prices are so expensive now, prices through the roof 0:31:28.920 --> 0:31:30.920 so presses for the rest inflation. So how do we 0:31:30.960 --> 0:31:33.120 come on bad inflation now because people are not making 0:31:33.520 --> 0:31:37.440 much now, I'm like, this is ridiculous. Well, this gets 0:31:37.480 --> 0:31:39.640 to the bigger story, right, of all the different things 0:31:39.640 --> 0:31:42.520 where prices are high, and part of it is that 0:31:42.560 --> 0:31:44.760 the costs are higher. I get that. I mean obviously 0:31:44.800 --> 0:31:47.600 one of the biggest expenses for an airline is fueled, right, 0:31:48.120 --> 0:31:50.280 But that's not enough to explain all of it. You 0:31:50.320 --> 0:31:53.120 look at the price of oil and the price we're 0:31:53.160 --> 0:31:56.160 actually paying at the pump, and the spread between those 0:31:56.160 --> 0:31:58.640 two things is higher than it used to be. And 0:31:58.720 --> 0:32:01.120 so we also have to have a cup conversation about 0:32:01.200 --> 0:32:04.560 a lot of corporate profits that are getting fatter on 0:32:04.600 --> 0:32:07.800 the margin there. And that's a big part of what's 0:32:07.800 --> 0:32:10.480 happening across the economy that we need to talk about 0:32:10.520 --> 0:32:12.880 when it comes to inflation. Because we've got some friends 0:32:12.880 --> 0:32:14.960 in Congress, for example, on the other side of the aisle, 0:32:15.320 --> 0:32:20.760 who love talking about inflation but refuse to offer any solution. 0:32:20.920 --> 0:32:23.920 Can you still call those people friends? I'm being polite. 0:32:24.000 --> 0:32:27.040 It's a lot of fascism in there right now. Can 0:32:27.080 --> 0:32:31.080 you call those people friends when they're democracy? Look, I 0:32:31.120 --> 0:32:32.520 think we need to call something what it is, and 0:32:32.520 --> 0:32:34.920 when somebody is threatening democracy, we need to call that out. 0:32:35.240 --> 0:32:37.800 I know that there are a lot of people, definitely 0:32:37.800 --> 0:32:41.000 in Congress, in the Republican Party, who are horrified by 0:32:41.040 --> 0:32:44.160 what's happened to their own apart speak out because they're afraid, 0:32:44.800 --> 0:32:47.680 because they don't vote like they are afraid. Right, No, 0:32:47.840 --> 0:32:50.640 And so you know, my job as a policymaker is 0:32:50.640 --> 0:32:52.680 to sit down and work with them on anything where 0:32:52.800 --> 0:32:55.640 where they're willing to do the right thing, which they did. 0:32:55.920 --> 0:32:58.560 On infrastructure, for example, we had you know, a lot 0:32:58.600 --> 0:33:01.920 of Republican Senators and a handful of Republican House members 0:33:02.240 --> 0:33:04.360 come over and vote with Democrats and work with the 0:33:04.360 --> 0:33:07.480 president on that. What are the solutions to regulating these 0:33:07.520 --> 0:33:10.720 corporations pack is getting fatter while everybody's paying more and 0:33:10.800 --> 0:33:13.160 not come at a Yeah. Well, on something like energy, 0:33:13.200 --> 0:33:15.360 we had an idea. President put forward an idea called 0:33:15.440 --> 0:33:17.200 use it or Lose It, which is basically, if you're 0:33:17.200 --> 0:33:19.400 sitting on these permits at these leases, but you're not 0:33:19.440 --> 0:33:22.000 doing anything to produce energy, then at a certain point 0:33:22.440 --> 0:33:24.800 you don't get to keep sitting on it. That didn't 0:33:24.800 --> 0:33:27.440 go very far, largely because it was blocked by the 0:33:27.480 --> 0:33:29.960 allies that the big oil companies have in the House. 0:33:29.960 --> 0:33:32.560 In the Senate. We've got to have more again, more 0:33:32.600 --> 0:33:36.200 transparency about the practices of some of these companies, and 0:33:36.640 --> 0:33:38.880 we got to keep working toward a tax code that's 0:33:38.960 --> 0:33:42.680 fairer when it comes to these things. We think that 0:33:42.760 --> 0:33:44.520 the best thing we can do for inflation is create 0:33:44.640 --> 0:33:47.160 breathing room for people. Right. That's why we cared so 0:33:47.240 --> 0:33:49.880 much about cutting the cost of prescription drugs thirty five 0:33:49.880 --> 0:33:53.200 dollars insulin. We could have had that and student Loanda 0:33:53.280 --> 0:33:58.200 absolutely right. That creates some breathing room when you're facing 0:33:58.360 --> 0:34:01.720 these higher prices on groceries, gas, you name it, even 0:34:01.720 --> 0:34:03.600 on for gas itself. Right. It's one of the reasons 0:34:03.600 --> 0:34:06.200 why we're pushing to make electric vehicles cheaper. I'm not 0:34:06.200 --> 0:34:08.839 saying everybody can go get an EV tomorrow, but part 0:34:08.880 --> 0:34:10.920 of how we can give people alternatives is to make 0:34:10.920 --> 0:34:13.799 sure everybody can afford an EV. Some of the people 0:34:13.800 --> 0:34:16.480 who are beating us up over EV's being too expensive 0:34:16.560 --> 0:34:18.919 voted no on a bill that would have made them cheaper. 0:34:18.920 --> 0:34:20.719 That did make them cheaper. So we've got to look 0:34:20.719 --> 0:34:24.960 at who actually has ideas and proposals to create that 0:34:25.000 --> 0:34:28.040 breathing room because prices are going up here. Prices are 0:34:28.040 --> 0:34:29.440 going up around the world. By the way, it's not 0:34:29.440 --> 0:34:31.840 like this is a US thing now. There are a 0:34:31.840 --> 0:34:33.960 lot of you know that many of the analysts the 0:34:34.000 --> 0:34:37.399 banks predict that it's going to go down, but we're 0:34:37.440 --> 0:34:39.719 not comfortable with that until it happens. It's why we're 0:34:39.880 --> 0:34:43.000 pushing to create a little more space, a little more room, 0:34:43.040 --> 0:34:45.640 and lower the everyday cost people are basing on everything 0:34:45.640 --> 0:34:48.399 from healthcare to housing, the transportation. All right, well, move 0:34:48.400 --> 0:34:50.160 we got more with Secretary peat when we come back. 0:34:50.239 --> 0:34:54.520 Is the breakfast clubal morning ej Envy Angela Yee. Chalomagne, 0:34:54.520 --> 0:34:56.439 the guy we ought to breakfast club, was still kicking 0:34:56.480 --> 0:35:00.640 it with Secretary Pete Chalomagne. The pressure mounting for you 0:35:00.840 --> 0:35:02.719 and regarded the twenty twenty four because I know you 0:35:02.719 --> 0:35:05.080 said you didn't want to do anything else in government 0:35:05.080 --> 0:35:08.359 other than this. But the Democrats have a very weak bench, 0:35:08.760 --> 0:35:10.399 and I see how you move like, you know, you'll 0:35:10.400 --> 0:35:12.000 come to places like the breakfast club, You'll go to 0:35:12.000 --> 0:35:15.000 Fox News like you're talking to a big swap of 0:35:15.040 --> 0:35:17.920 the American public. So it is it growing louder for 0:35:18.200 --> 0:35:20.879 Secretary Pete to run in twenty twenty fourth president? I mean, look, 0:35:20.920 --> 0:35:23.040 I already have a job, and we already have a president. 0:35:23.360 --> 0:35:27.600 So the best thing I can do is support this 0:35:27.640 --> 0:35:30.279 president that I really believe in, in the agenda and 0:35:30.280 --> 0:35:32.560 the vision that the administration has, and as long as 0:35:32.560 --> 0:35:35.160 he trusts me to do this work on transportation, try 0:35:35.200 --> 0:35:37.239 to deliver on that. I mean, look, every job I've had, 0:35:37.280 --> 0:35:38.920 and I'm not trying to be cute about the politic 0:35:38.960 --> 0:35:42.000 I know there's a lot of political chatter that goes on, 0:35:42.239 --> 0:35:44.400 but every job I've had, especially in public life, the 0:35:44.440 --> 0:35:46.719 best thing you can do is just try to be 0:35:46.760 --> 0:35:48.560 good at that job, and then whatever you want to 0:35:48.560 --> 0:35:50.440 do next, you're going to be better off if you delivered. 0:35:50.480 --> 0:35:54.480 And delivering, you know to our earlier conversation is hard 0:35:54.480 --> 0:35:56.719 as hell, but also incredibly rewarding. When you're working on 0:35:56.760 --> 0:35:59.640 stuff like, are you concerned with more celebrities coming up 0:35:59.640 --> 0:36:03.480 as being president and doesn't necessarily know politics, that really 0:36:03.520 --> 0:36:06.120 doesn't know what they're doing. We have another situation like 0:36:06.160 --> 0:36:09.520 in Donald Trump. Yeah, it's we're seeing a lot of this, right. 0:36:09.760 --> 0:36:12.160 I think there's something to be said for outsider energy. 0:36:12.680 --> 0:36:15.680 I came into national politics as an outsider, a different 0:36:15.719 --> 0:36:18.080 kind of outsider. I was involved in policy as a mayor, 0:36:18.560 --> 0:36:21.600 but I was not part of Washington and I don't 0:36:21.640 --> 0:36:25.560 think you have to be, you know, a Washington lifer 0:36:25.600 --> 0:36:27.839 to be effective. But I do think you have to 0:36:27.880 --> 0:36:30.200 care about public policy. I mean, you see some people 0:36:30.200 --> 0:36:33.200 now who just don't seem like they care. And I 0:36:33.200 --> 0:36:36.520 think Kanye's running in twenty twenty four, God, okay, great, 0:36:38.760 --> 0:36:43.399 why not? Look In the end, I think what people 0:36:43.480 --> 0:36:45.080 most want to know is what do you care about? 0:36:45.239 --> 0:36:47.400 And who do you care about? Question? When you do 0:36:47.480 --> 0:36:50.080 interviews right and you're not allowed to talk about things 0:36:50.120 --> 0:36:53.000 like the mid terms, how does that help Democrats in 0:36:53.040 --> 0:36:56.040 the midterms. I think the good policy is good politics. 0:36:56.080 --> 0:36:57.920 Like if we're doing things that make sense and we 0:36:57.920 --> 0:37:01.279 can explain it, then people will appreciate that. And in 0:37:01.320 --> 0:37:03.560 that way, there's no difference, or there's not a lot 0:37:03.560 --> 0:37:06.239 of difference between coming out on a campaign trail and 0:37:06.239 --> 0:37:08.160 saying I think you should vote for this person, which 0:37:08.200 --> 0:37:10.200 is not what I'm doing today, and what I am 0:37:10.239 --> 0:37:12.239 doing today, which is saying, here's what we're working on 0:37:12.239 --> 0:37:14.399 as an administration. Here the policies we think are good. 0:37:14.840 --> 0:37:17.120 Some folks voted for it, some folks voted against it, 0:37:17.160 --> 0:37:19.840 and this is what we believe in. It's odd, but 0:37:19.920 --> 0:37:21.200 is there for a very good reason, right, I mean, 0:37:21.200 --> 0:37:22.600 the reason we have these rules is so that you 0:37:22.640 --> 0:37:25.280 don't go out using the powers of the federal government 0:37:25.560 --> 0:37:28.239 and push a political outcome on people. So I respect it. 0:37:28.239 --> 0:37:31.799 We shouldn't you go isn't at the whole point, I 0:37:31.840 --> 0:37:34.680 can go put on a different hat later when my 0:37:34.840 --> 0:37:38.280 flight wasn't paid for by the taxpayer and talk about politics. 0:37:39.040 --> 0:37:41.240 I think it's okay to have those things be separate. 0:37:41.320 --> 0:37:43.520 I think the important thing, though, is that I don't 0:37:43.520 --> 0:37:45.920 ever want to say something in one context that I 0:37:45.920 --> 0:37:48.919 would be embarrassed to have repeated in another context. So 0:37:49.200 --> 0:37:51.120 it's also just really important that we're consistent and we're 0:37:51.120 --> 0:37:52.640 clear about what we care about and what we believe in. 0:37:52.760 --> 0:37:54.960 Do you feel like Democrats are rising to the urgency 0:37:54.960 --> 0:37:56.640 at a moment because we know it as a real 0:37:57.000 --> 0:37:59.319 threat to democracy, and like the midterms are right around 0:37:59.360 --> 0:38:01.399 the corner, But it doesn't seem like it's a sense 0:38:01.440 --> 0:38:04.319 of urgency coming from the Democratic Party about it. I 0:38:04.320 --> 0:38:05.840 think we have a sense of urgency. I think that 0:38:06.040 --> 0:38:08.680 sometimes something can be so big that it's hard to 0:38:08.680 --> 0:38:10.200 make it out and you actually have to break it 0:38:10.200 --> 0:38:12.640 down into something smaller, if that makes sense. So what 0:38:12.680 --> 0:38:15.000 I mean by that is that the stakes for our 0:38:15.040 --> 0:38:19.000 country right now, in terms of our own democracy, in 0:38:19.160 --> 0:38:22.080 terms of our future, in terms of our standing in 0:38:22.080 --> 0:38:24.920 the world, they're so enormous that if you try to 0:38:24.920 --> 0:38:28.279 talk about it that way all day climate too, it's 0:38:28.320 --> 0:38:30.839 so exhausting that I think it can actually shut people 0:38:30.880 --> 0:38:33.040 down a little. Not on the right. Right wing media 0:38:33.080 --> 0:38:35.880 does it all day. Well, they say that the democracy 0:38:35.960 --> 0:38:38.960 is about to be over, but they blame Democrats. That's true. 0:38:39.160 --> 0:38:41.640 And one of the things that I think is really 0:38:41.719 --> 0:38:44.920 important is that facts still have to matter. We have 0:38:44.960 --> 0:38:47.000 to make sure that there are actives actually such thing 0:38:47.239 --> 0:38:50.280 as true and false. And you look at what happened 0:38:50.640 --> 0:38:53.279 last January, you look at what's happening right now, with 0:38:53.400 --> 0:38:57.160 people denying the legitimacy of elections that actually happen. Where 0:38:57.440 --> 0:39:00.440 you know, part of how democracy works is when you lose, 0:39:01.120 --> 0:39:04.719 you admit it, Yeah I've lost. Losing sucks, But part 0:39:04.719 --> 0:39:08.000 of your job is to acknowledge that reality. Because the 0:39:08.040 --> 0:39:13.719 whole idea of democracy is rules and policy choices that 0:39:13.760 --> 0:39:17.160 we all have to live by, and that means we 0:39:17.200 --> 0:39:18.880 all live by things we don't always agree. That's the 0:39:18.880 --> 0:39:21.880 whole that's the whole concept, right, But I don't think 0:39:21.920 --> 0:39:24.359 there's any confusion about what's at stake. I do think 0:39:24.440 --> 0:39:28.560 there's a need to connect all these big picture questions 0:39:28.560 --> 0:39:31.399 to very concrete things, and I think actually right wing 0:39:31.440 --> 0:39:34.000 media sometimes is a little better about that. I have 0:39:34.040 --> 0:39:35.960 a TV in my office where I've got it's kind 0:39:35.960 --> 0:39:37.680 of splits into four quadrants, and I can see the 0:39:37.760 --> 0:39:41.560 three big cable networks, and I'm usually watching one broadcast, 0:39:41.719 --> 0:39:43.799 and every time I glance up at it, what you 0:39:43.880 --> 0:39:46.279 see on Fox is more of a story from a 0:39:46.360 --> 0:39:50.960 specific place that is meant to make you angry about 0:39:51.000 --> 0:39:54.440 this big picture fear real or imagined, and it just 0:39:54.440 --> 0:39:56.400 puts you in a different state of mind. Whereas we 0:39:57.400 --> 0:39:58.960 I think on my side of the aisle tend to 0:39:59.000 --> 0:40:02.480 prefer to talk into the concepts the ideas, right, And 0:40:02.640 --> 0:40:04.440 I do think there's some work to do there. But 0:40:04.480 --> 0:40:06.120 that's part of what I love about my job, right, 0:40:06.239 --> 0:40:10.560 because there's nothing abstract about saying, Joe Biden signed this bill, 0:40:11.040 --> 0:40:13.360 and you're getting a better airport, or if you like 0:40:13.480 --> 0:40:16.359 this new subway stop that's coming to your neighborhood. It's 0:40:16.440 --> 0:40:20.160 there because Democrats with a few Republicans helping out in Congress, 0:40:20.200 --> 0:40:22.479 in the House and in the Senate, voted on this bill. 0:40:22.760 --> 0:40:24.560 Send it to the President's desk, and he signed it 0:40:24.840 --> 0:40:27.160 in my department. Implement right, like this is happening in 0:40:27.160 --> 0:40:31.320 your life. This isn't like some conceptual debate about conservatism 0:40:31.400 --> 0:40:34.840 or free market princess. This is like, we're fixing this problem. 0:40:34.880 --> 0:40:37.359 And I see the number one issue is the economy. Yeah, 0:40:37.400 --> 0:40:39.719 when it comes to the elections coming up, and so 0:40:39.760 --> 0:40:42.600 we can see who's voting for and against people to 0:40:42.640 --> 0:40:44.640 have more money in their pocket. Well, that's the thing 0:40:44.680 --> 0:40:46.400 I mean, I mean, let's look at the choice. And 0:40:46.400 --> 0:40:49.640 again I'm saying it's not election wise, but legislation wise. 0:40:50.280 --> 0:40:52.719 Look at the choices that are being made. Right, So 0:40:52.760 --> 0:40:57.200 the last administration their number one economic policy, those tax 0:40:57.239 --> 0:40:59.200 cuts for rich people, and they did it. It's one 0:40:59.200 --> 0:41:01.480 of the promises they out. They didn't keep a lot 0:41:01.520 --> 0:41:04.680 of promises, right, didn't drain the swamp, and they didn't 0:41:04.680 --> 0:41:08.279 even build the wall. But they kept two promises, and 0:41:08.360 --> 0:41:11.400 those two promises represent two things they really care about. 0:41:11.440 --> 0:41:13.479 They kept their promise to cut taxes for the wretch, 0:41:13.880 --> 0:41:15.880 and they kept their promise to take away the right 0:41:15.920 --> 0:41:19.560 to choose. And what we're doing is working to keep promises. 0:41:19.560 --> 0:41:21.640 And I know there's some unfinished business in terms of 0:41:21.640 --> 0:41:24.040 promises that we've made. But we promised to get an 0:41:24.080 --> 0:41:27.000 infrastructure build on and we've done it. We've promised to 0:41:27.320 --> 0:41:29.960 act in ways that would reduce child poverty. We've done it. 0:41:30.440 --> 0:41:33.560 The President promised to get people back to work after 0:41:33.600 --> 0:41:35.880 we lost millions of jobs. More people are working in 0:41:35.880 --> 0:41:38.240 the private sector now than at any point in American history. 0:41:38.400 --> 0:41:43.040 So I guess you could say both administrations back to 0:41:43.040 --> 0:41:45.759 back have come in with a set of promises. People 0:41:45.800 --> 0:41:48.600 should think about which promises are kept. Like you say 0:41:48.680 --> 0:41:50.960 democrats are terrible that messaging, I mean, you didn't say 0:41:50.960 --> 0:41:54.440 that verbatim. You essentially say democrats I think we think 0:41:54.480 --> 0:41:55.880 in ways that we got to work a little harder 0:41:55.920 --> 0:42:00.560 to second message. But it's okay, that's what you're working on. 0:42:00.960 --> 0:42:04.040 It's okay to say that. Look, I hear you, I 0:42:04.120 --> 0:42:11.120 hear you. All right, we appreciate it, and thank you 0:42:11.160 --> 0:42:14.719 for always stopping through. That's pleasure. The secretary peat, it's 0:42:14.719 --> 0:42:17.600 the Breakfast Club. Come on, more than everybody is cj 0:42:18.120 --> 0:42:21.600 Envy angela ye, Charlemagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. 0:42:22.520 --> 0:42:25.400 Charlemagne and I, Hey, welcome back here.

We thought it was you know, the Breakfast 0:42:29.880 --> 0:42:31.799 Club is. We know it is officially over. We thought 0:42:31.840 --> 0:42:33.520 that you just called it in the day like no, 0:42:33.600 --> 0:42:35.200 I'm early from my show which is going to start 0:42:35.200 --> 0:42:38.319 at ten am. Okay, get it. We were just talking 0:42:38.360 --> 0:42:40.799 about you and it's I guess it's officialeality. This did 0:42:40.920 --> 0:42:43.279 terminate the contract. Take them long enough. I mean they 0:42:43.400 --> 0:42:46.560 didn't release no statement during all this. They didn't sever tize. 0:42:46.960 --> 0:42:49.920 Jesus Christ, you hit your rumor report drop first. We're 0:42:49.960 --> 0:42:51.920 just saying we just did a whole thing, but we 0:42:51.920 --> 0:42:56.719 didn't mention that because it just did no, I said 0:42:56.719 --> 0:42:59.279 it would probably be happening any moment now, but well 0:43:00.320 --> 0:43:03.239 happened the seconds after. Okay, my bad. I thought I 0:43:03.400 --> 0:43:06.680 talked about it. Well, he been here, we know. But anyway, 0:43:06.719 --> 0:43:11.080 let's get the rumors to talk. A little bag going on. 0:43:12.680 --> 0:43:21.360 I'm going back home. But Little Baby is on the 0:43:21.400 --> 0:43:24.480 Big Facts podcast, and one clip that's already been circulating 0:43:24.640 --> 0:43:28.680 was him denying that he was in that photo with Sweetie. Remember, 0:43:28.719 --> 0:43:30.600 people said that she was sitting on his lap in 0:43:30.640 --> 0:43:33.600 a photo even though you can see his face. The Internet, 0:43:33.640 --> 0:43:37.040 Twitter and Instagram detectives tried to take with him. Here's 0:43:37.040 --> 0:43:40.200 what he said that with Sep with a cargo pants, 0:43:44.239 --> 0:43:49.560 it's too hard to be little at whatever would I 0:43:49.600 --> 0:43:52.920 reader that anything? So I take whatever come with it. 0:43:53.520 --> 0:43:57.560 But I do have to lie because of that. Then 0:43:57.560 --> 0:44:01.200 I've been trying my best man. Somebody had on the 0:44:01.280 --> 0:44:07.200 same cargo pants and the same sneakers. Solo to the 0:44:07.200 --> 0:44:10.799 Big Facts podcast, Baby Ja Big Bank DJ Scream.

Now. 0:44:16.000 --> 0:44:20.360 An Elie Chappa has clarified his sexuality after he posted 0:44:20.360 --> 0:44:22.200 a couple of pictures of himself and you could see 0:44:22.200 --> 0:44:25.799 his print in the picture. And then somebody sent him 0:44:25.800 --> 0:44:29.160 a message, and only Chappa said this is absurd, And 0:44:29.239 --> 0:44:31.080 the person who sent him a message was a guy 0:44:31.160 --> 0:44:36.360 and said, your d is huge, bro.

Secondly, I love all, so 0:44:59.400 --> 0:45:02.200 I don't mind a tracting both genders, but most importantly 0:45:02.239 --> 0:45:04.480 my sexual preferences. Women, please stop trying to make me 0:45:04.560 --> 0:45:06.360 something I am not well.

I had to let him know, like nah, 0:45:48.760 --> 0:45:50.279 I can see why you might think that, but you 0:45:50.320 --> 0:45:55.600 know that's just the radio buddy. He's playing around a 0:45:55.640 --> 0:46:00.879 little bit. Okay, all right, Young BOYD never again has 0:46:00.920 --> 0:46:03.240 signed a deal with Motown. You know, he's no longer 0:46:03.280 --> 0:46:06.040 on Atlantic and so he has a joint venture with 0:46:06.120 --> 0:46:08.879 a Motown and has never broke again collective. He said, 0:46:08.880 --> 0:46:10.799 I felt like I had a responsibility to my artist 0:46:10.840 --> 0:46:12.840 to make sure to find the right partner from my label. 0:46:13.040 --> 0:46:16.240 I'm looking forward to working with Ethiopia, Keino and Motown Records. 0:46:16.880 --> 0:46:18.840 To him dropping a clue box to Ethiopia, that's a 0:46:18.880 --> 0:46:21.239 big game.

He said that teaching that the 0:50:28.600 --> 0:50:33.240 US was built on stolen land is inappropriate and not true. 0:50:34.160 --> 0:50:36.759 All the Native Americans are looking at the radio saying, huh, 0:50:36.760 --> 0:50:38.960 excuse me, Say what would you like to hear it? 0:50:39.000 --> 0:50:41.240 Here it go it. Actually, if you look around the country, 0:50:41.239 --> 0:50:43.960 they do have programs. Unfortunately, well they will take a 0:50:44.000 --> 0:50:46.120 student look at their race, say okay, you're white, you're 0:50:46.160 --> 0:50:48.799 an oppressor. If you're black, you're oppressed. And think about 0:50:48.840 --> 0:50:50.839 what that does to a six or seven year old kid. 0:50:51.239 --> 0:50:54.160 That's wrong. You're seeing that you have people that are 0:50:54.200 --> 0:50:57.160 teaching and actually his running mate has said this in 0:50:57.200 --> 0:50:59.920 the past, that teaching the United States was built on 0:51:00.120 --> 0:51:03.320 stolen land. That is inappropriate for our schools. It's not true. 0:51:04.760 --> 0:51:07.920 I will never understand why any lie is ever referred 0:51:07.960 --> 0:51:11.000 to as little and white. Okay, White men like Ron 0:51:11.040 --> 0:51:13.720 de Santis don't tell a little lies. They tell the biggest, 0:51:14.120 --> 0:51:17.799 boldest lies that America has ever seen. All right, even 0:51:17.800 --> 0:51:20.600 if you don't want to read a book, all right, 0:51:20.880 --> 0:51:23.279 do your googles. I learned land was stolen from Native 0:51:23.320 --> 0:51:25.960 Americans in elementary school, which is exactly what they are 0:51:25.960 --> 0:51:27.960 trying to keep kids in the elementary school from learning now, 0:51:28.080 --> 0:51:30.400 all right. They are literally trying to revise history right 0:51:30.440 --> 0:51:33.480 before our eyes. This is like kk Kanye saying that 0:51:33.480 --> 0:51:36.319 that devil Derek Schauvin's knee wasn't on the cops neck 0:51:36.400 --> 0:51:39.320 like that, as if we don't have eyes we saw it. Okay. 0:51:39.320 --> 0:51:41.680 It's one thing for people to do what they have 0:51:41.760 --> 0:51:44.799 always done with the story of Native Americans, you know, 0:51:44.880 --> 0:51:47.400 in regards to Native American dispossession, and that's just the 0:51:47.440 --> 0:51:49.960 sweeping under the ruck, all right, don't talk about it. 0:51:50.239 --> 0:51:52.439 Hope Native Americans don't talk about it, but to lie 0:51:52.480 --> 0:51:55.400 and say it never happened. Come on, man, put a record. 0:51:55.400 --> 0:51:58.479 Between seventeen seventy six and the present, the United States 0:51:58.520 --> 0:52:01.600 has seized about one point billion acres from North America's 0:52:01.680 --> 0:52:03.879 Native people. All right, Some researchers have found that Native 0:52:03.880 --> 0:52:08.800 Americans have lost ninety nine percent of their historical lands 0:52:08.840 --> 0:52:12.360 in America. Maybe Roner Santris doesn't think it was stolen 0:52:12.440 --> 0:52:15.120 because it was done through legislation and treaties. But the 0:52:15.160 --> 0:52:18.440 treaties were reniqued upon okay, and the legislation resulted in 0:52:18.520 --> 0:52:22.200 Native Americans losing ownership in control of two thirds of 0:52:22.239 --> 0:52:25.319 their reservation lands. Now you got Native Americans trying to 0:52:25.320 --> 0:52:27.160 buy back land that was stolen from them. Can you 0:52:27.239 --> 0:52:32.680 imagine that buying back what was stolen from you? Tribes 0:52:32.719 --> 0:52:34.840 trying to buy back there and land on the open 0:52:34.960 --> 0:52:38.839 market even though it was theirs. Hey, Roner Santras, if 0:52:38.880 --> 0:52:41.200 the land wasn't stolen, how come Native Americans have been 0:52:41.280 --> 0:52:44.360 running with the land back slogan. In Congress passed legislation 0:52:44.400 --> 0:52:47.240 to restore ownership of nineteen thousand acres of the National 0:52:47.280 --> 0:52:49.919 Bison range in Montana to a couple of tribes whose 0:52:50.000 --> 0:52:56.359 names I can't pronounce. I think the Seletion Kutara tribes. Listen, listen, man, 0:52:56.560 --> 0:52:59.080 The truth is important, okay. And the truth is the 0:52:59.120 --> 0:53:01.480 truth regardless of who believes it, and a lie the 0:53:01.600 --> 0:53:04.760 lie regardless of who believes it. We need truth in America. 0:53:04.880 --> 0:53:08.480 Truth telling is essential for authentic communication to occur. And 0:53:08.480 --> 0:53:10.440 that's why we can't get nowhere in this country because 0:53:10.480 --> 0:53:13.120 everyone is so busy lying, so we spend all his 0:53:13.360 --> 0:53:17.160 time arguing about what's a lie, so we can never 0:53:17.239 --> 0:53:19.480 actually get to the truth for the matter, and the 0:53:19.520 --> 0:53:23.279 truth for the matter in this situation. His land was 0:53:23.280 --> 0:53:26.839 stolen from Native Americas, all right, simple as that. All right? 0:53:26.880 --> 0:53:30.120 And guess what, America. We will never heal what we 0:53:30.160 --> 0:53:33.440 are not willing to reveal. All right. Please let Chelsea 0:53:33.480 --> 0:53:35.960 Handler give Ron de Santis the biggest he haw he 0:53:36.160 --> 0:53:39.360 haw he haw. That is way too much, Dan Mann is, 0:53:39.560 --> 0:53:42.000 but Kathy Griffin getting in on that too. Man. Please 0:53:42.080 --> 0:53:48.240 give this giant jar of male the biggest he hawy. 0:53:49.840 --> 0:53:52.960 All right, Well, thank you for that donkey of the day. Now, 0:53:52.960 --> 0:53:56.440 when we come back April, Ryan will be joined, Okay, 0:53:56.880 --> 0:53:58.320 she got a new book out that she has a 0:53:58.360 --> 0:54:01.719 new book out. It's called Black Women Will Save the 0:54:01.840 --> 0:54:04.680 World and the anthem. Yeah, so we're gonna talk to 0:54:04.680 --> 0:54:06.799 her when we come back. All right, it's the Breakfast Club. 0:54:06.840 --> 0:54:13.399 Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Heck power one O five one, 0:54:14.400 --> 0:54:21.120 the Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same morning. 0:54:21.160 --> 0:54:25.279 Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We 0:54:25.360 --> 0:54:27.480 are the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in 0:54:27.480 --> 0:54:31.120 the building, April Ryan, Good morning, Good morning, Charlomagne. How 0:54:31.160 --> 0:54:33.200 are you? I ain't blessed Black and Holly Favorite. How 0:54:33.200 --> 0:54:35.520 are you feeling? I'm blessed Black and Holly Favorite? This 0:54:35.560 --> 0:54:40.000 one there, you got to see you Black Women will 0:54:40.000 --> 0:54:43.359 Save the World. But the title is self explainatory yes 0:54:43.360 --> 0:54:46.480 and no, but you didn't add the last part an anthem. 0:54:46.520 --> 0:54:50.080 We're gonna sing it over and over, okay, anthem black 0:54:50.120 --> 0:54:52.560 women will save the World and an anthem okay, yeah, 0:54:52.600 --> 0:54:56.480 to keep it going, because what happens is people forget moments, 0:54:57.680 --> 0:55:00.200 and when we forget a moment, we lose out. And 0:55:00.239 --> 0:55:04.120 at the end of the day, black women are rising 0:55:04.160 --> 0:55:08.440 in number as head of household, rising in number as 0:55:08.719 --> 0:55:11.920 the breadwinner in a household. And with that said, we 0:55:11.960 --> 0:55:15.600 are taking care of everyone everything and not taking care 0:55:15.640 --> 0:55:21.240 of ourselves and not being heralded as a champion, as 0:55:21.480 --> 0:55:24.360 a shero, and we are that. I know, those stats 0:55:24.360 --> 0:55:26.160 got to be flawed though. And the reason I say 0:55:26.160 --> 0:55:29.120 those stats are flawdas because they've always been the head 0:55:29.120 --> 0:55:33.000 of household. They've always been a it's rising in number, 0:55:33.520 --> 0:55:37.040 it's rising in number. And you know you got when 0:55:37.080 --> 0:55:39.120 when you have And that's saying a lot about the 0:55:39.560 --> 0:55:43.040 structure of the black family. Now you've got a mother 0:55:43.120 --> 0:55:45.920 who's the head of household, and then what do you 0:55:45.960 --> 0:55:49.240 do is she's by herself and she's got kids. Sometimes 0:55:49.239 --> 0:55:51.440 we bring the kids along to help us fill in 0:55:51.480 --> 0:55:54.360 the gaps. And that goes into an issue that I 0:55:54.400 --> 0:55:58.920 talk about in the book for Black Girls, Adultification, you know, 0:55:59.040 --> 0:56:01.160 and you know, we may a lot of our children 0:56:01.920 --> 0:56:05.239 become more mature than they need to be. They lose out. 0:56:05.280 --> 0:56:08.040 And it's so interesting. A friend of mine who's in 0:56:08.040 --> 0:56:11.120 the book for Drinka Newton, the widow of Hughey P. Newton, 0:56:11.200 --> 0:56:13.319 head of Black Panther Party, she said, you know, some 0:56:13.440 --> 0:56:17.680 kids are given fairy tales, others and nightmares, and I 0:56:17.719 --> 0:56:20.560 think all children should have fairy tales. And these are 0:56:20.640 --> 0:56:22.839 numbers that prove because I believe in the book It's 0:56:23.200 --> 0:56:26.040 black girls are eleven times more likely to be suspended 0:56:26.280 --> 0:56:29.879 yes than white girls in school, and nine times more 0:56:30.000 --> 0:56:33.720 likely to be arrested yes. One. That is the adultification 0:56:34.000 --> 0:56:37.440 adult young girls, adultification that way in so many other ways. 0:56:37.960 --> 0:56:41.040 And it's just at this point we have to nurture 0:56:41.600 --> 0:56:44.640 not only ourselves but in the community. But we have 0:56:44.719 --> 0:56:49.600 to figure out how to help navigate what this world 0:56:49.840 --> 0:56:52.440 is giving to our young black girls who are future 0:56:53.080 --> 0:56:55.800 We're going to be the next hero, next generation heroes. 0:56:56.560 --> 0:56:58.399 Men are being honest with themselves. You got to say 0:56:58.400 --> 0:57:01.960 that the women have been the CEOs of our lives forever. 0:57:06.280 --> 0:57:09.200 Say that men are covering and I still say that, 0:57:09.280 --> 0:57:12.279 you know, but we are strong in the home. We 0:57:12.800 --> 0:57:15.399 a lot of times to the decision makers. We are 0:57:15.520 --> 0:57:18.520 for the most part, having your back, you know, not 0:57:18.560 --> 0:57:22.120 just some of us. You know, take care of the dinner, 0:57:22.400 --> 0:57:24.120 some of us take care of the wash, but we 0:57:24.200 --> 0:57:26.000 got your back and so many other ways. We have 0:57:26.040 --> 0:57:28.240 a hard time at work, but who's there A lot 0:57:28.240 --> 0:57:29.840 of times for us as we are taking care of 0:57:29.840 --> 0:57:32.200 the home, taking care of you, taking care of the 0:57:32.240 --> 0:57:35.320 boss at work, then go on to church and figuring out, 0:57:35.360 --> 0:57:39.160 you know, being the usher or you know, the choir 0:57:39.240 --> 0:57:42.480 member or the deacon ass and then going to the pta. 0:57:42.560 --> 0:57:44.440 I mean, it's so many, so many things we have 0:57:44.480 --> 0:57:47.360 to juggle, and yet we don't get our flowers. And 0:57:47.400 --> 0:57:49.720 I think a lot of times we're also taught to 0:57:49.840 --> 0:57:52.640 kind of you know, endure, like you said, a lot 0:57:52.680 --> 0:57:56.280 of things. Yeah, especially in the workplace. Oh yes, And 0:57:56.440 --> 0:57:59.200 and I love you. I love your move I love 0:57:59.320 --> 0:58:03.640 your entrepreneurship, I love your business mind. You are not 0:58:03.760 --> 0:58:06.920 staying in a place that Okay, I'm stay here. You're 0:58:06.960 --> 0:58:09.680 moving higher. You're looking for higher. And unfortunately a lot 0:58:09.760 --> 0:58:13.280 of black women don't have that, that sisterhood to say 0:58:13.600 --> 0:58:15.800 let's push it further, because they don't see people who 0:58:15.840 --> 0:58:18.120 look like you and I in the workspace. A lot 0:58:18.200 --> 0:58:20.920 of us are alone and cannot talk to other women. 0:58:21.200 --> 0:58:23.440 And I believe in community and sisterhood, so we can 0:58:23.480 --> 0:58:27.600 bring forward that move be another Angelay, come on now, now, 0:58:27.680 --> 0:58:30.400 let's talk about you in your space that you occupy. 0:58:30.520 --> 0:58:32.760 When we talk about being the only black woman's that 0:58:32.880 --> 0:58:35.760 so people have some history on who April Ryan is. Um, 0:58:35.920 --> 0:58:40.120 I'm the only black woman. I'm the longest serving black 0:58:40.200 --> 0:58:44.760 female journalist in the White House. White House, Yeah, White 0:58:44.800 --> 0:58:49.120 House Correspondent. It's especially when you're focusing on black issues. 0:58:50.040 --> 0:58:52.960 It's a hard road and people want to isolate you. 0:58:53.240 --> 0:58:54.840 They want to call you the angry black woman. Do 0:58:55.000 --> 0:59:02.440 I look at angry? Shall thank you? I'm happy If 0:59:02.480 --> 0:59:04.360 you are angry, do you have every right to be? 0:59:04.880 --> 0:59:06.840 But no, I'm not gonna fall into that angry black 0:59:06.840 --> 0:59:09.280 woman's stereotype because people want to say when you bring 0:59:09.360 --> 0:59:12.720 up issues of a community that's underserved with the highest 0:59:12.760 --> 0:59:16.160 numbers of negatives, and every cat should be but they 0:59:16.200 --> 0:59:18.360 want to label you was that instead of saying no, no, no, 0:59:18.680 --> 0:59:20.160 let's take a look at the steps, they want to 0:59:20.200 --> 0:59:24.080 divert attention from the real issue and blame me. What. 0:59:24.240 --> 0:59:26.400 I have nothing to do with that. I'm trying to 0:59:26.440 --> 0:59:29.560 ask questions to get answers for a community that is hurting, 0:59:30.040 --> 0:59:31.600 and I just happened to be along the way, a 0:59:31.680 --> 0:59:36.640 black woman asking those questions. You've had those moments, some 0:59:36.720 --> 0:59:41.840 adversities you faced, the White House Correspondent, some adversities, Yeah, 0:59:41.960 --> 0:59:45.480 you saw it. Yeah, being told you know, sit down Trump. 0:59:45.600 --> 0:59:49.680 Trump told me sit down. Sean Spice says, stop shaking 0:59:49.720 --> 0:59:51.440 your head. Yeah, he wouldn't take your question because you 0:59:51.560 --> 0:59:54.600 was shaking your head. He say that was crazy. Sarah 0:59:54.640 --> 0:59:58.600 Huckaby Sanders, who's running for governor of Arkansas, told me 0:59:58.640 --> 1:00:02.360 my question was and you know, been targeted by Fox 1:00:02.480 --> 1:00:06.560 News death threats. Just were asking questions of the Black community, 1:00:06.760 --> 1:00:09.640 a community that they didn't want to deal with. So 1:00:10.000 --> 1:00:12.480 and you know this, you know, the black community has 1:00:12.560 --> 1:00:17.400 issues period. And then at the White House. Everything comes 1:00:17.440 --> 1:00:19.480 to the White House from water, peace and everything in between. 1:00:19.720 --> 1:00:22.480 And in between all of that is the black community 1:00:22.480 --> 1:00:25.200 who still is trying to figure out why is my 1:00:25.240 --> 1:00:28.440 water not safe to drink? Not just in Jackson, but 1:00:28.520 --> 1:00:33.880 in Flint still, you know, policing issues, you know, Ahmad Aubrey, 1:00:35.200 --> 1:00:38.480 George Floyd, you know we and then what about our economy? 1:00:38.840 --> 1:00:43.840 You know, we're we When the gas prices were slashed 1:00:43.920 --> 1:00:47.320 a couple of months ago and the President opened up 1:00:47.320 --> 1:00:50.560 the Strategic or Reserve allowing for millions of barrels to 1:00:50.600 --> 1:00:55.840 be released today, guess what, Black folks didn't see that 1:00:56.520 --> 1:01:00.320 price loring because we were having price gouging in our community. 1:01:00.760 --> 1:01:02.280 You know, you could go across the street and see 1:01:02.280 --> 1:01:07.000 a five dollars and something gallant of gas and across 1:01:07.040 --> 1:01:09.760 the street it would be four dollars, when in other 1:01:09.800 --> 1:01:12.640 parts of America was three dollars and some you know, 1:01:12.800 --> 1:01:15.640 gone gas buddy, And that's how you're really How about 1:01:15.680 --> 1:01:18.439 that that app I love that or cheap gas or whatever. Yeah, 1:01:18.800 --> 1:01:20.840 let me tell you, Yeah, I get it. What are 1:01:20.840 --> 1:01:23.400 you thinking about the treatment of VP Kamala Harris? Then, 1:01:23.560 --> 1:01:26.440 in relation to this book Black Women Will Save the 1:01:26.480 --> 1:01:29.760 World an anthem? What I think about the treatment in 1:01:29.840 --> 1:01:35.240 the media and just by people in general speaking about her, Well, 1:01:35.360 --> 1:01:38.760 number one, being a black woman, people are hypersensitive about that. 1:01:39.320 --> 1:01:42.360 And some of the things that were coming out about 1:01:42.440 --> 1:01:45.640 her or about her staff or just unheard. It was 1:01:45.680 --> 1:01:47.960 just a lot of gossip and chatter and it was 1:01:48.080 --> 1:01:52.120 ugly because she was a black woman. Okay, no matter 1:01:52.200 --> 1:01:54.920 what you think of her, she is the first black 1:01:54.920 --> 1:01:58.000 woman to be in that position. She moved and I 1:01:58.040 --> 1:02:01.640 talked about this in the book. She moved Joe Biden forward. 1:02:01.680 --> 1:02:04.320 She pushed him to move forward on matters of phrase. 1:02:04.960 --> 1:02:07.720 Did she though when she Okay, you don't remember that 1:02:07.760 --> 1:02:10.120 debate you don't remember remember that, but it was like 1:02:10.160 --> 1:02:11.800 after she did that, when she called him out on 1:02:11.800 --> 1:02:13.040 the bus, and it was like after that, it was 1:02:13.040 --> 1:02:14.960 like almost like she got a phone called it like 1:02:16.840 --> 1:02:18.920 and she kind of did a lot since well let 1:02:18.920 --> 1:02:20.680 me but let me say this, and I talk about 1:02:20.680 --> 1:02:23.240 this in the book. It was a lot of It 1:02:23.280 --> 1:02:27.439 was a tense time. It was a huge moment that 1:02:27.520 --> 1:02:32.600 I witnessed at the NUBLEACP presidential Forum debate when all 1:02:32.640 --> 1:02:35.320 the candidates were there and she wouldn't get out of 1:02:35.360 --> 1:02:39.280 her her van to come and talk with all of 1:02:39.320 --> 1:02:41.880 the other candidates. She didn't come out and meet with 1:02:41.960 --> 1:02:45.080 Joe Biden. There was a tension there and Joe Biden 1:02:45.160 --> 1:02:47.960 was caught on a hot mic on stage with me 1:02:48.040 --> 1:02:50.360 saying you know my heart, you know my heart. He 1:02:50.480 --> 1:02:54.440 was hurting by it, and then backstage it was like 1:02:54.440 --> 1:02:56.440 you know my heart, you know my heart. Kamala Harris 1:02:56.480 --> 1:02:59.280 was not seeing backstage she was. It was It was 1:02:59.360 --> 1:03:02.040 so tense. There was a come to Jesus moment. Somewhere, 1:03:02.120 --> 1:03:04.960 there was a road to Damasks moment or something for 1:03:05.080 --> 1:03:08.240 Joe Biden, because I never thought the way he felt 1:03:08.280 --> 1:03:11.320 that pain, that those two would come together for this moment. 1:03:11.800 --> 1:03:15.440 So something happened, there was a coming together. But what 1:03:15.600 --> 1:03:20.240 happened was George Floyd right, this was a transformational moment. 1:03:20.480 --> 1:03:22.960 And then you had Amy Klobashar saying, you need to 1:03:23.000 --> 1:03:27.200 have a black woman as your running mate, and he 1:03:27.320 --> 1:03:31.760 had a list to include Stacy Abrams, Susan Rice, Karen Bass, 1:03:32.320 --> 1:03:34.080 so many other I want to give all them sisters 1:03:34.080 --> 1:03:36.680 the credit too, that did that for the USA today, 1:03:36.680 --> 1:03:39.520 That Angela Ry and Sonny and all, yeah, let's give 1:03:39.560 --> 1:03:44.400 them yeah, yeah, yeah, most definitely. And that pressure, it 1:03:44.520 --> 1:03:47.360 took pressure from all sides to make that happen. And 1:03:47.440 --> 1:03:50.000 you know, Sonny and Answer, they took a hit for that. 1:03:50.800 --> 1:03:53.760 They took a hit and Enjoy Read and Tiffany Cross, 1:03:53.800 --> 1:03:55.680 they took a hit for that from the party, from 1:03:55.680 --> 1:03:59.920 the party for standing up, pushing for what was right, 1:04:01.360 --> 1:04:05.160 what was right. When you stand up and speak the obvious, 1:04:05.600 --> 1:04:09.360 you get ridiculed, you get pushed back. It's terrible. You 1:04:09.440 --> 1:04:13.000 have black women in Karine Jean Pierre, black women in 1:04:13.120 --> 1:04:17.040 spaces and places that we've never occupied. And that's just governmental. 1:04:17.800 --> 1:04:21.200 Let's talk about CEOs. Let's talk about the moves upward. 1:04:21.400 --> 1:04:24.440 And this is a moment no one has said anything about. 1:04:25.200 --> 1:04:27.080 And I said, you know, I got a market because 1:04:27.120 --> 1:04:29.640 if you don't market and say, wait a minute, this 1:04:29.680 --> 1:04:32.919 is a moment of history, we lose the advances. Black 1:04:32.960 --> 1:04:35.720 women have taken a lot from a lot of different people, 1:04:35.760 --> 1:04:37.800 a lot of different groups, and now it's time to 1:04:37.840 --> 1:04:41.080 say we're here and we're not rolling it back. We 1:04:41.160 --> 1:04:43.280 got more with April Ryan. When we come back, don't move. 1:04:43.280 --> 1:04:49.560 It's to Breakfast Club. Good morning morning, Everybody's DJ Envy 1:04:49.760 --> 1:04:52.640 Angela Yee. Charlomagne the guy. We are to Breakfast Club 1:04:52.680 --> 1:04:56.240 on this Tuesday. We're still kicking it with April Ryan. Charlomagne. Oh, 1:04:56.280 --> 1:05:00.320 as a journalist, you know, there's all these conversations about him. 1:05:00.320 --> 1:05:03.000 Of speech. I don't think people really truly understand the 1:05:03.040 --> 1:05:05.919 First Amendment because like you can, you can, you're free 1:05:05.920 --> 1:05:11.000 to say whatever, but there are consequences behind the defamation 1:05:11.080 --> 1:05:13.840 and libel. If you say something that someone doesn't like, 1:05:13.920 --> 1:05:18.800 it could be consequenced. Kanye Alex Jones, well, no, his 1:05:18.800 --> 1:05:22.280 his the baby's mother for two hundred and fifty million dollars. 1:05:22.600 --> 1:05:25.320 That child has lost her father, That child is dealing 1:05:25.400 --> 1:05:28.760 with a lot. You know, Yeah, people are supporting her, 1:05:28.800 --> 1:05:32.520 but she doesn't have her daddy, and she will always remember, 1:05:33.120 --> 1:05:36.000 she will always see that horrific image of her father. 1:05:37.120 --> 1:05:39.920 I don't know if people are looking for attention, but 1:05:40.080 --> 1:05:44.000 we have a responsibility. It's not okay, we have a 1:05:44.040 --> 1:05:47.800 responsibility as journalist. Um Tucker Carlson shouldn't have done what 1:05:47.800 --> 1:05:50.000 he did, having him on that show, and he was 1:05:50.040 --> 1:05:53.120 sitting there smug and watching it. He loved it because 1:05:53.120 --> 1:05:55.120 he was like, oh, this is ratings. That's all he 1:05:55.160 --> 1:05:57.040 was thinking in his mom because Kanye was giving him 1:05:57.040 --> 1:06:01.440 everything he wanted. He knew Kanye wasn't well. Chris Cuomo 1:06:02.200 --> 1:06:06.120 bring up the issue. You know, I take my antidepression medicine. 1:06:06.400 --> 1:06:08.800 I don't know what you can do for Kanye, but 1:06:08.840 --> 1:06:11.600 what I know is I rather not talk about him, 1:06:11.680 --> 1:06:16.240 and I'd rather not amplify the ignorance of his message. 1:06:16.680 --> 1:06:18.680 How should we look at the role of journalism and 1:06:18.760 --> 1:06:22.360 how it impacts politics, especially right now mcause I don't 1:06:22.360 --> 1:06:24.680 feel like it's a lot of journalism out there. Are 1:06:24.720 --> 1:06:27.320 you reading the Grio? Are you reading My Peace? Can 1:06:27.360 --> 1:06:31.080 you read my stuff? Doctor Charlemagne? No, we got a newsletter. 1:06:31.480 --> 1:06:33.960 You know what. See, He's so high and lofty. Go 1:06:34.080 --> 1:06:36.520 to the gril dot com and look at the politics 1:06:36.560 --> 1:06:40.600 section that April Ryan dropped down. Yeah, a lot of 1:06:40.600 --> 1:06:43.920 people have platforms now who aren't necessarily journalists. Yes, and 1:06:44.000 --> 1:06:46.160 that's the unfortunate piece, because we have a lot of 1:06:46.160 --> 1:06:50.320 citizen journalists out here who give a lot of opinion 1:06:50.800 --> 1:06:53.800 without facts. And that's part of the problem. Are we 1:06:53.800 --> 1:06:58.000 are so uninformed and we're not believing what we're seeing 1:06:58.040 --> 1:07:01.600 because so many people are talking things that are just 1:07:01.720 --> 1:07:06.680 not true, giving us information that's skewed. The onus is 1:07:06.720 --> 1:07:11.480 now on the reader, the listener, or the watcher to 1:07:11.520 --> 1:07:15.720 figure out what is opinion versus fact. The line is blurred. 1:07:15.760 --> 1:07:17.280 And then because you've got a lot of people out 1:07:17.320 --> 1:07:20.440 here who are just pushing things out for to make themselves, 1:07:20.440 --> 1:07:22.800 to make a name, to be on the breakfast club, 1:07:23.800 --> 1:07:27.960 or to just push a narrative that's not true. And 1:07:28.120 --> 1:07:31.000 it's a sad time. I mean, the greatness of social media, 1:07:31.040 --> 1:07:34.280 the greatness of technology is everything, but when you have 1:07:34.360 --> 1:07:38.120 people abusing it because it's so open, we have anyone 1:07:38.200 --> 1:07:41.760 jumping on t it's true. Do you agree with seeing 1:07:41.840 --> 1:07:45.920 the moving away from opinion based commentary to more what 1:07:46.000 --> 1:07:48.280 they say what they want fact based news. I think 1:07:48.280 --> 1:07:52.480 it's a good idea because we are so as you 1:07:52.520 --> 1:07:57.480 guys just pointed out, we are so confused about what's what. 1:07:58.520 --> 1:08:00.720 I think a lot of news organs. I think there's 1:08:00.720 --> 1:08:04.640 a moment for opinion. I do. I do believe there's 1:08:04.640 --> 1:08:06.440 a moment for opinion. But I also believe there's a 1:08:06.440 --> 1:08:09.880 moment for fact. But we have to differentiate between the two. 1:08:09.960 --> 1:08:11.520 And there's gonna be a lot of people getting in 1:08:11.520 --> 1:08:13.280 trouble because I'm telling you, Miss Ryan, they do not 1:08:13.440 --> 1:08:16.200 know the difference. I was literally having a discussion yesterday 1:08:16.200 --> 1:08:19.360 with somebody about the whole George Floyd Kanye thing and 1:08:19.360 --> 1:08:20.920 it was like, well, why is he getting sued for 1:08:21.000 --> 1:08:23.640 his perspective. I'm like, it don't matter what your perspective 1:08:23.720 --> 1:08:25.840 is when something has already been established as a fact. 1:08:26.240 --> 1:08:30.320 He has a large platform, and what he says speaks 1:08:30.400 --> 1:08:34.320 volumes to a larger and broader community that wants to 1:08:34.479 --> 1:08:38.240 downplay and change the narrative and the impact of that, 1:08:38.240 --> 1:08:41.040 that's what it is. The impact. It's not the fact 1:08:41.080 --> 1:08:44.400 that he's just Kanye. The impact of what you're saying 1:08:44.920 --> 1:08:48.680 it's devastating, and who you're giving it to where you're 1:08:48.680 --> 1:08:51.200 getting it from. You're just repeating white supremacist rhetoric, the 1:08:51.200 --> 1:08:53.479 same rhetor that they who's to try to get this 1:08:53.479 --> 1:08:56.240 guy off. He's repeating it from Candace Owns his new 1:08:56.280 --> 1:09:00.560 best friend. So a documentary that I never watch. Do 1:09:00.600 --> 1:09:04.040 you think it's important to watch things? No, don't know. Yes, 1:09:04.120 --> 1:09:06.600 it's important that I see what's out there so I 1:09:06.600 --> 1:09:09.559 can be informed, like coming here, you know who knew 1:09:09.560 --> 1:09:14.360 we were gonna talk about him? But you know, but 1:09:14.439 --> 1:09:16.599 I haven't watched her documentary. I don't want to watch 1:09:16.640 --> 1:09:19.559 her document right because I already know the basis of it. 1:09:19.880 --> 1:09:25.639 I've talked to people in George Food's family. I've talked 1:09:25.640 --> 1:09:27.400 to people in the community. I've talked to people who 1:09:27.439 --> 1:09:33.280 were there when it happened. I've talked to Keith Allison, 1:09:33.840 --> 1:09:37.759 the state attorney general. I don't need to hear Candice Owens, 1:09:38.479 --> 1:09:41.479 you think people like attention from being a contrarian and 1:09:41.560 --> 1:09:45.240 saying things that especially as is it attention or are 1:09:45.280 --> 1:09:48.000 you being paid? Well? Is there a benefit of payoff 1:09:48.000 --> 1:09:51.040 for you? You know? I mean if you are this 1:09:51.240 --> 1:09:55.400 juxtaposed to your own community that you went into and 1:09:55.640 --> 1:10:00.000 ask for help from the NAACP for something that happened 1:10:00.120 --> 1:10:02.920 to you many years ago, and then you go polar opposite. 1:10:06.240 --> 1:10:09.200 You wonder why. I mean, it's it's more than attention, right, 1:10:09.439 --> 1:10:14.040 It's got to be more than attention. M Well, Brian, 1:10:15.200 --> 1:10:17.479 the world. You know, like Bishop td Jakes told you, 1:10:17.520 --> 1:10:20.680 I hope that you are celebrating myself. Thank you, and 1:10:20.720 --> 1:10:22.680 I love that you came in here and you, you know, 1:10:22.920 --> 1:10:26.320 gave me, uh you know, just lifted me up. And 1:10:26.360 --> 1:10:27.760 I want to make sure we do the same thing 1:10:27.800 --> 1:10:29.840 for you. I mean, thank you, sister. Black women will 1:10:29.840 --> 1:10:32.719 save the world. An anthem, thank you. It's a Brian. 1:10:32.760 --> 1:10:47.240 It's the breakfast Club, the breakfast Club. It's about Angela 1:10:47.360 --> 1:10:51.880 need the breakfast Club. Well. Adidas has officially ended their 1:10:51.920 --> 1:10:55.919 partnership with Kanye with immediate effect. They released a statement 1:10:56.000 --> 1:10:59.439 today saying they do not tolerate anti Semitism and any 1:10:59.439 --> 1:11:03.280 other sort of speech, and his recent comments were unacceptable, hateful, 1:11:03.320 --> 1:11:06.640 and dangerous. Adida said they violated the company's values of 1:11:06.720 --> 1:11:10.960 diversity and inclusion, mutual respect, and fairness. Now, sales and 1:11:11.040 --> 1:11:14.920 productions of those Easy branded products have stopped, as well 1:11:14.960 --> 1:11:17.000 as payments to Kanye and his companies, they're going to 1:11:17.040 --> 1:11:19.200 take a two hundred and forty six a million dollar 1:11:19.360 --> 1:11:22.720 hit to their fourth quarter sales because of this. They've 1:11:22.760 --> 1:11:26.280 been partnered since twenty thirteen. That's when Adida signed that 1:11:26.439 --> 1:11:30.040 deal and got Kanye away from Nike, And in twenty 1:11:30.080 --> 1:11:33.040 sixteen they expanded their relationship with Kanye, saying it was 1:11:33.080 --> 1:11:36.320 the most significant partnership ever created between a non athlete 1:11:36.600 --> 1:11:39.679 and an athletic brand. But after he wore those White 1:11:39.680 --> 1:11:42.640 Lives Matter t shirts in public, they actually had the 1:11:42.720 --> 1:11:46.240 partnership under review and they said that is a hate 1:11:46.240 --> 1:11:49.679 slogan used by white supremacist groups included the Ku Klux Klan. 1:11:50.040 --> 1:11:52.559 Then when Kanye said I can say anti semitic ish 1:11:52.600 --> 1:11:55.559 and Adidas cannot drop me on drink champs, that's when 1:11:55.600 --> 1:11:57.720 they said yes again, my friend. That's one of the 1:11:57.760 --> 1:12:00.880 most egal fueled comments I ever heard in my life. Like, 1:12:00.920 --> 1:12:03.280 if you think that German company found about someone who 1:12:03.320 --> 1:12:05.040 was in the Nazi Party was gonna hold on to 1:12:05.120 --> 1:12:07.720 you after that, then the levels of narcissists you are 1:12:07.840 --> 1:12:10.000 can't be defined. You can't be a German company. The 1:12:10.120 --> 1:12:13.519 home or denotification and being bad with a Nazi. We 1:12:13.720 --> 1:12:17.080 already told you. But Lanciaga cut ties. Vogue magazine publicly 1:12:17.120 --> 1:12:21.160 cut ties. His talent agency CIAA dropped him as a client. 1:12:21.479 --> 1:12:24.360 The production company MRC that was doing a documentary on 1:12:24.400 --> 1:12:27.400 him said they are shelving that documentary. Shares of Adidas 1:12:27.400 --> 1:12:32.680 fell after this news about five percent, and frankfort Yeah, 1:12:32.720 --> 1:12:35.000 they said that yesterday. Though that's what I see. I 1:12:35.040 --> 1:12:36.439 hear when people and it's not you, but I saw 1:12:36.479 --> 1:12:40.240 somebody else say that. But yesterday we actually four days ago, 1:12:40.320 --> 1:12:42.280 they were saying how Adidas dropped ten percent, and then 1:12:42.320 --> 1:12:44.920 yesterday they had dropped as well. Because but they didn't 1:12:44.920 --> 1:12:47.760 have nothing to do with Kanye. Well, I don't know 1:12:47.800 --> 1:12:50.479 what it has to do with Butane and maybe it does. 1:12:51.240 --> 1:12:53.000 I read, I read, I read it, but I can't 1:12:53.120 --> 1:12:54.920 brief it over the radio that fast. But it wasn't 1:12:54.920 --> 1:12:57.040 nothing to do with or something to do with something 1:12:57.080 --> 1:13:00.320 going on in China. Well, anyway, they and I'm sure 1:13:00.360 --> 1:13:02.920 that today we'll see sales job as well. You might see. 1:13:03.040 --> 1:13:04.800 I mean that two hundred and forty six a million 1:13:04.800 --> 1:13:07.320 dollar hit is a huge hit for a duty to 1:13:07.360 --> 1:13:11.240 take in the fourth quarter. Yeahs, regardless of whether it's 1:13:11.280 --> 1:13:14.120 kind of the effects of that is going to make 1:13:14.520 --> 1:13:16.680 the shares drop. All I know is this is one 1:13:16.680 --> 1:13:19.080 of the biggest els black man ever took in business, 1:13:19.080 --> 1:13:21.640 and it's all self inflicted. This is self sabotage at 1:13:21.680 --> 1:13:24.599 his finest. All of this literally happened for no reason, 1:13:24.720 --> 1:13:27.640 just a series of poor choices, all rooted in bigotry, 1:13:27.680 --> 1:13:31.120 anti Black, anti Semitic bigotry. And I pray that this 1:13:31.200 --> 1:13:33.559 is the wake up called Kanye West needs to literally 1:13:33.560 --> 1:13:36.080 go get some healing. That brother is hurting and hurt people, 1:13:36.160 --> 1:13:38.200 hurt people. But that's not an excuse because he has 1:13:38.200 --> 1:13:40.679 access to every single resource available to get some healing. 1:13:40.840 --> 1:13:42.840 And I pray he gets it because he's really moving 1:13:42.880 --> 1:13:45.320 like a person who doesn't plan to be hit much longer. 1:13:45.800 --> 1:13:48.799 All right, now, let's talk about Black China. She's threatening 1:13:48.880 --> 1:13:51.760 legal action against Aba Louise, who is a TikTok star 1:13:52.080 --> 1:13:55.240 who is accused of Black China of trying to kidnap 1:13:55.600 --> 1:13:59.400 and sex traffic her. Now Aba Louise, by the way, 1:14:00.280 --> 1:14:04.560 according to this letter that Black China's attorney, JD. Sanchez 1:14:04.600 --> 1:14:07.040 has sent out as a cease and desist. They also 1:14:07.080 --> 1:14:10.280 said that Able Louise has made false, extreme and outrageous 1:14:10.280 --> 1:14:13.400 statements about Black China in public, and rips her for 1:14:13.600 --> 1:14:17.880 displaying a pattern of menacing an outrageous conduct on social media. Previously, 1:14:18.000 --> 1:14:20.000 Able Louise is the person who admitted to making false 1:14:20.000 --> 1:14:23.000 statements about Kanye was hooking up with Jeffrey Starr, the 1:14:23.280 --> 1:14:27.679 makeup guru and you YouTuber. So here is what Aba 1:14:27.720 --> 1:14:31.080 Louise was saying about Black China that's causing this lawsuit. 1:14:31.479 --> 1:14:34.559 For six hours trying to help me hastage, she drank 1:14:34.560 --> 1:14:37.120 an entire bottle of cast Amigos in front of me. 1:14:37.280 --> 1:14:39.559 She wouldn't let me be alone. Every time she had 1:14:39.600 --> 1:14:41.280 to use the bathroom, she would make me go into 1:14:41.280 --> 1:14:43.880 the bathroom with her. She took in front of me. 1:14:44.160 --> 1:14:47.519 She forced me to take a wet towel and wipe 1:14:47.560 --> 1:14:50.400 off all off my makeup. She kept telling me that 1:14:50.479 --> 1:14:52.599 I had to stay until ten am because that's when 1:14:52.680 --> 1:14:54.880 Dream was going to be out of the home and 1:14:55.040 --> 1:14:57.679 she was going to go crazy on me at ten am. 1:14:57.760 --> 1:15:00.400 She kept saying things like that. At about nine forty 1:15:00.439 --> 1:15:04.959 five am, trying to FaceTime some woman named Donna who 1:15:05.120 --> 1:15:09.480 told me she was in the escorting industry. On FaceTime, 1:15:10.080 --> 1:15:15.439 and told me that I was good product. All right. 1:15:15.720 --> 1:15:18.479 Like I said, Black China is refuting these claims and 1:15:18.520 --> 1:15:21.599 allegations and has a sea synthesist and is threatening now 1:15:21.640 --> 1:15:25.280 to sue. Those are serious allegations to put out about somebody, 1:15:25.600 --> 1:15:27.960 all right now. A Shanty, Jyrul and Fab are going 1:15:28.000 --> 1:15:30.640 to be headlining the I Love R and B Festival 1:15:30.720 --> 1:15:33.600 that is taking place on Saturday, May twenty seventh in 1:15:33.720 --> 1:15:36.760 Long Beach, California.

Yeah, 1:16:15.520 --> 1:16:17.320 and just to be clear, like you know, because I 1:16:17.360 --> 1:16:19.760 saw this yesterday, Adidas stock has been dropping over the 1:16:19.800 --> 1:16:22.840 past few days, though it was not immediately clear if 1:16:22.880 --> 1:16:25.639 the decline was directly linked to what's his controversy, because 1:16:25.640 --> 1:16:27.559 they were trying to say that the stock was plummeting 1:16:27.840 --> 1:16:31.160 because they refused to cut ties with Kanye West over 1:16:31.240 --> 1:16:35.760 anti semitism.
