I don't know 0:01:11.520 --> 0:01:16.240 what he's doing, Okay, but happy International Women's Day March 0:01:16.360 --> 0:01:19.920 eighth every single year. Today. Well, this year the theme 0:01:20.080 --> 0:01:23.200 is break the Bias for International Women's Day, and we'll 0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:26.080 talk more about International Women's Day during Front Page News 0:01:26.560 --> 0:01:29.480 anathon March Women's History Month as well. Yes, it is okay, 0:01:29.520 --> 0:01:31.840 so you get a day within your own mouth. Yeah, 0:01:31.880 --> 0:01:35.880 but this is an international day, so it's global. Actually 0:01:35.880 --> 0:01:40.160 we're starting in the UK. Okay, so internationally we celebrate 0:01:40.319 --> 0:01:44.160 women today and talk about a lot of different women's issues. 0:01:44.200 --> 0:01:48.040 Also celebrate women. It's not good enough just to say, hey, 0:01:48.080 --> 0:01:51.080 we have a day. You also have to talk about uh, 0:01:51.560 --> 0:01:53.480 you know, different things that need to be done, and 0:01:53.520 --> 0:01:55.919 we need all the allies. So men need to also 0:01:56.480 --> 0:02:00.640 uplift women and make sure we celebrate our accomplishments are achievements, 0:02:00.680 --> 0:02:05.559 but also talk about equality, talk about gender parity, making 0:02:05.600 --> 0:02:09.280 sure we are fundraising for female focused charities, all kinds 0:02:09.320 --> 0:02:11.240 of things. I enjoyed the day a lot more last 0:02:11.320 --> 0:02:13.360 year when we had the day off. Okay, when they 0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:17.560 give all the guys here the day off, that was amazing. Yeah. Well, 0:02:17.560 --> 0:02:21.120 this year we want some equality that's not equality to 0:02:21.160 --> 0:02:24.960 be got to work too. What would equality be? Equality 0:02:25.040 --> 0:02:29.720 is letting? I mean, how didquality I don't know what 0:02:29.800 --> 0:02:32.160 equality is, to be honest with you, Like, equality to 0:02:32.240 --> 0:02:36.720 me is such a subjective term in a lot of ways, right, 0:02:36.760 --> 0:02:38.800 because you know, when you say you want equality, what 0:02:38.919 --> 0:02:43.520 exactly does that mean when you say equity, that's different, Like, like, 0:02:43.560 --> 0:02:45.520 equity and equality are two different things to me. Now, 0:02:45.560 --> 0:02:49.160 the equity you can actually slice up give to a person. 0:02:49.240 --> 0:02:51.320 Equality is just like, oh, i'm you know, let's let 0:02:51.320 --> 0:02:53.399 gonna treat you like an equal. Well, equity is part 0:02:53.400 --> 0:02:56.000 of equality, it's part of it. I would rather have 0:02:56.000 --> 0:02:59.800 the equity because equality can't be I don't think equality 0:02:59.800 --> 0:03:02.880 can be gauged. I don't think you can quantify your quality. Well, 0:03:02.880 --> 0:03:04.960 it depends. There's a lot of different factors that factor 0:03:05.040 --> 0:03:08.799 into it. So, and yesterday was a very windy day, 0:03:08.840 --> 0:03:10.640 by the way, I don't know if I think a 0:03:10.639 --> 0:03:13.600 lot of people experience this, but I had just gotten 0:03:13.680 --> 0:03:15.519 home and when I tell you, they said it was 0:03:15.560 --> 0:03:18.080 winds in New York about seventy miles an hour. And 0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:19.919 now they're saying in the Northeast as much as one 0:03:19.960 --> 0:03:23.040 hundred and thirty thousand people don't have power. Jesus Christ. 0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:26.320 So we'll talk about all of that in front Page News. Also, 0:03:26.360 --> 0:03:29.040 do we have any guest today, I don't know what. Oh, 0:03:29.080 --> 0:03:33.440 we do. We actually have Congresswoman Corey Bush. Congresswoman Corey 0:03:33.440 --> 0:03:37.040 Bush woman International Women's Day. She's a perfect example of 0:03:37.080 --> 0:03:39.839 somebody who is always pushing the envelope and making sure 0:03:39.840 --> 0:03:43.320 that she's heard. So yes, Congressoman Corey Bush will be here, 0:03:43.680 --> 0:03:47.440 also doctor Kim L. Delaney and Yvonne Okay, I'm I 0:03:47.480 --> 0:03:52.760 messed up her last name, Mabnafoy, Mabnafoy. Okay. We'll be 0:03:52.800 --> 0:03:56.440 here this morning. And they have this great series that's 0:03:56.480 --> 0:04:00.040 on Instagram and we'll talk we'll talk all about it. 0:04:00.120 --> 0:04:02.040 But if you haven't had a chance to see it, 0:04:02.040 --> 0:04:05.640 it's Equiano Stories, and it's the second series that they've done. 0:04:05.680 --> 0:04:07.560 The first one is that Story told on Instagram. It 0:04:07.640 --> 0:04:09.880 was like a movie on Instagram. That one was about 0:04:09.880 --> 0:04:11.840 the Holocaust and I think it got like three hundred 0:04:11.840 --> 0:04:16.320 million views. So now this one dates back to before slavery, 0:04:16.400 --> 0:04:20.039 to show what was happening in Africa, how black people 0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:23.279 were thriving, how we were getting our own. Our history 0:04:23.320 --> 0:04:25.200 does not start at slavery, and that's the point of 0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:28.000 Equiano Stories. So we'll talk about that this morning on 0:04:28.040 --> 0:04:32.000 the breakfast Club front page news. Next, Hey, it's the 0:04:32.040 --> 0:04:37.280 breakfast Club.

What do you mean you supposed to celebrate 0:04:46.400 --> 0:04:47.880 us today? I didn't think I had to go to 0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:50.880 World lead. God seen the flyers and it just had 0:04:50.960 --> 0:04:52.840 all the women from the stations. All was like last year, 0:04:52.880 --> 0:04:54.719 we was off. Last year. All the guys wasn't on 0:04:54.760 --> 0:04:56.760 the radio station. And then Eddie said bring your ass in. 0:04:58.160 --> 0:05:03.440 Eddie didn't have off. Okay, well you don't know what 0:05:03.480 --> 0:05:07.000 he identifies as calling? That be calling people men nowadays? 0:05:07.000 --> 0:05:09.279 What's wrong with you? We do what we do? Not? 0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:12.880 We do not? His name is Eddie F want what 0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:19.440 that stands for? Let's get into Well, Yes, today is 0:05:19.480 --> 0:05:22.440 International Women's Day, as it is every March eighth, and 0:05:22.680 --> 0:05:26.159 this year's scene is hashtag break the Bias? So what 0:05:26.200 --> 0:05:30.279 does International Women's Day mean? Will imagine a gender equal world? 0:05:30.560 --> 0:05:33.080 This is, according to International Women's Day dot com, a 0:05:33.240 --> 0:05:36.680 role for your bias, stereotypes and discrimination. A world where 0:05:36.800 --> 0:05:40.320 difference is valued and celebrated, so together we can forage 0:05:40.360 --> 0:05:44.200 women's equality. So today you will celebrate women's achievement, to 0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:48.280 raise awareness against bias, take action for equality. Uh and 0:05:48.360 --> 0:05:50.840 those are some of the themes for this year. Breaking 0:05:50.880 --> 0:05:52.920 the bias. We should be doing that every single day. 0:05:53.000 --> 0:05:56.359 So some of those things include building workplaces where women 0:05:56.400 --> 0:06:00.760 can thrive. Instead of making women feel less, stand talking 0:06:00.839 --> 0:06:03.520 over them, making them feel like their opinions and values 0:06:03.560 --> 0:06:06.840 don't matter. Make sure women can thrive in your workplace. 0:06:06.920 --> 0:06:11.000 Elevate the visibility of women creatives, improve equality for women 0:06:11.080 --> 0:06:14.000 in tech. We all know there's a problem with equality 0:06:14.000 --> 0:06:17.960 with women in tech. Forage women's empowerment worldwide. Celebrate the 0:06:17.960 --> 0:06:21.960 women who are foraging change and also empowering women's choices. 0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:23.400 In health, there's a lot of men trying to make 0:06:23.440 --> 0:06:25.920 decisions about what should happen with the women's body, So 0:06:26.000 --> 0:06:28.800 let's make sure we do those things. Also, fundraising for 0:06:28.920 --> 0:06:31.480 female focused charities and if you guys want to hit 0:06:31.520 --> 0:06:32.840 us up and let us know.

It is March eighth, International Women's Day. 0:11:21.880 --> 0:11:24.960 We are celebrating women all morning on the Breakfast Club. 0:11:25.000 --> 0:11:26.839 Call us up and let us know who you want 0:11:26.840 --> 0:11:28.360 to celebrate or if you're a woman and you want 0:11:28.400 --> 0:11:31.360 to celebrate yourself, your pairs, your friends, your family, call 0:11:31.440 --> 0:11:35.040 us up right now is get it off your chest. 0:11:36.040 --> 0:11:37.720 This is your time to get it off your chests, 0:11:37.760 --> 0:11:40.040 whether you're man or blast. So you better have the 0:11:40.040 --> 0:11:41.800 same indutry we want to hear from you on the 0:11:41.840 --> 0:11:45.640 Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? Hey? How are you doing this? 0:11:45.800 --> 0:11:48.959 Rout from watch Hike round foot up Ralph going on. 0:11:49.360 --> 0:11:52.079 So I just wanted to time to I'm trying to 0:11:51.760 --> 0:11:54.160 get get you guys for the last couple of days. 0:11:54.200 --> 0:11:56.400 And uh I was thinking about the guy that was 0:11:56.440 --> 0:12:00.920 talking about big coin last week. Okay, uh I was 0:12:00.960 --> 0:12:03.080 just trying to basically state, why is it that we 0:12:03.120 --> 0:12:07.920 always gotta refer to like selling crack or selling drugs 0:12:07.960 --> 0:12:10.640 in order for like, for like us to understand something, 0:12:10.679 --> 0:12:12.280 you know. And I just feel like people go up 0:12:12.280 --> 0:12:14.840 there and always always bring up crack of drugs when 0:12:14.880 --> 0:12:17.880 they're trying to like get get us to understand as 0:12:17.880 --> 0:12:22.520 opposed to, you know, say something positive together to understand. 0:12:22.800 --> 0:12:24.440 You know why. That's a good point, man. I was 0:12:24.440 --> 0:12:27.000 thinking about this, uh last week in reference to just 0:12:27.360 --> 0:12:29.760 conversations we have about the Hood, when we talk about 0:12:29.760 --> 0:12:33.560 providing opportunities, we always make it seem like a majority 0:12:33.600 --> 0:12:35.520 of the Hood is in the criminal activity, and that's 0:12:35.559 --> 0:12:38.960 just not the case at all. So I understand what 0:12:38.960 --> 0:12:40.920 you're saying. The world, you know what I mean, it's 0:12:40.960 --> 0:12:43.440 a new world already. I mean, we gotta lift each 0:12:43.440 --> 0:12:46.280 other as opposed to, you know, keep putting a drag 0:12:46.280 --> 0:12:50.480 in each other even in the old world. Though most 0:12:50.480 --> 0:12:52.960 people didn't sell crack, majority of people in the Hood 0:12:52.960 --> 0:12:56.520 to Natchell crack, that's a fact. That's a fact, as 0:12:56.520 --> 0:13:01.720 the majority used it. I'm not gonna say that your 0:13:01.760 --> 0:13:04.520 whole care that's not the case either, But I will 0:13:04.559 --> 0:13:06.240 say though for a lot of people, maybe maybe that 0:13:06.280 --> 0:13:09.439 individual and I don't know that gentleman's history, but maybe 0:13:09.440 --> 0:13:12.880 he didn't tacky, and maybe that's what he compares it too, 0:13:12.960 --> 0:13:15.440 because he knows I can't compare it to selling crack 0:13:15.520 --> 0:13:18.040 because I never sold crack. So maybe for himself, maybe 0:13:18.040 --> 0:13:19.720 that's what he was talking about because maybe he sold 0:13:19.720 --> 0:13:21.840 it before and those the differences. But I feel like 0:13:21.880 --> 0:13:23.800 he did a lot of comparisons, though I don't think 0:13:23.840 --> 0:13:26.040 he just was comparing it to that. He was trying 0:13:26.080 --> 0:13:28.600 to explain in multiple different ways. I get what he's saying. 0:13:28.640 --> 0:13:30.520 I mean, I agree with the last call, and we 0:13:31.280 --> 0:13:32.600 all we do that when it comes to the hood. 0:13:32.640 --> 0:13:37.120 We always put things in criminal contexts. Hello, who's this yo, 0:13:37.280 --> 0:13:40.160 It's Jay Jay up lunch. I was just going to 0:13:40.200 --> 0:13:45.599 say good morning for morning Angel. What's going on?

She's 0:15:07.320 --> 0:15:11.000 getting rave reviews for her performance as Catwomen. But did 0:15:11.040 --> 0:15:14.160 you know she wanted to be in another movie and 0:15:14.640 --> 0:15:17.720 they said she was too urban? All right, we'll get 0:15:17.760 --> 0:15:20.960 into that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. This 0:15:21.080 --> 0:15:30.000 is the rumor Report with Angela years but people are 0:15:30.120 --> 0:15:34.440 loving Zoey Kravitz and the Batman. And this was not 0:15:34.600 --> 0:15:37.320 her first time trying to break into this whole universe 0:15:37.320 --> 0:15:40.200 on the big screen. She had told the Observer that 0:15:40.280 --> 0:15:42.520 her attempt to audition for a role in The Dark 0:15:42.560 --> 0:15:45.760 Knight Rises was rejected. She was told she was actually 0:15:45.800 --> 0:15:48.920 too urban for the part. Can you imagine that now? 0:15:49.000 --> 0:15:51.320 During a twenty fifteen interview with Nylon, she said the 0:15:51.400 --> 0:15:53.280 role she was seeking in The Dark Knight Rises with 0:15:53.320 --> 0:15:55.360 a small one and she couldn't even get in the 0:15:55.440 --> 0:15:58.680 room because the film wasn't quote going urban for the role, 0:15:59.040 --> 0:16:01.040 she said at the time, And she said, it was like, Yo, 0:16:01.080 --> 0:16:02.360 what does that have to do with anything? I have 0:16:02.400 --> 0:16:04.440 to play the role? Like, Yo, what's up, Batman? What's 0:16:04.480 --> 0:16:07.040 going on with you? So, she said, being a woman 0:16:07.040 --> 0:16:08.760 of color and being an actor and being told at 0:16:08.800 --> 0:16:10.440 that time that I wasn't able to read because of 0:16:10.440 --> 0:16:13.080 the color of my skin and the word urban being 0:16:13.120 --> 0:16:15.240 thrown around like that, that was what was really hard 0:16:15.280 --> 0:16:17.400 about that moment. Yeah, I hate the word urban in 0:16:17.440 --> 0:16:19.920 any context, but especially in that context because he means 0:16:19.960 --> 0:16:23.960 you too much of a sucker to say black. Just say, hey, 0:16:24.200 --> 0:16:27.120 black isn't what we're looking for at this time, right. 0:16:27.200 --> 0:16:29.160 So shout out to her though, because they are saying 0:16:29.200 --> 0:16:33.160 that she's amazing as Catwoman right now in The Batman, 0:16:33.240 --> 0:16:37.880 y'all gonna go see it.

I'm like, if there's 0:16:46.400 --> 0:16:49.520 any DC, I'll spending money on this, Batman or the Joker. 0:16:49.640 --> 0:16:51.960 All right, Well, one hundred and twenty eight million dollars 0:16:52.080 --> 0:16:55.160 it made in the first week, So congratulations to them. 0:16:55.160 --> 0:16:58.080 All right.

And Lebron is getting into the 0:19:04.760 --> 0:19:07.639 culinary space. He has a new platform. It's called kitch 0:19:07.840 --> 0:19:12.200 KII no ki ttc h Now, kitch is a place 0:19:12.240 --> 0:19:14.560 for foodies to interact and to learn from some of 0:19:14.600 --> 0:19:16.760 the most famous chefs in the world. This makes sense 0:19:16.960 --> 0:19:19.800 because people love watching all those food and cooking shows. 0:19:20.280 --> 0:19:21.920 So he has a really strict diet. He has a 0:19:21.960 --> 0:19:25.600 different routine for preseason, postseason, pregame, and post game. He 0:19:25.680 --> 0:19:27.880 said before competition for me would be like a chicken 0:19:27.920 --> 0:19:30.600 breast and maybe a little pasta. The carbs help because 0:19:30.600 --> 0:19:32.679 you're going out and playing a lot of minutes. But 0:19:32.720 --> 0:19:34.960 a salad and some veggies will have me perfectly fine. 0:19:34.960 --> 0:19:36.760 And before the game, I might have a protein shake 0:19:36.800 --> 0:19:39.200 and some fruit and I'll be ready to go. So 0:19:39.320 --> 0:19:42.120 this is gonna be pretty exciting for him. They said. 0:19:42.160 --> 0:19:44.840 Kitch can be described as the twitch TikTok zoom of 0:19:44.920 --> 0:19:52.159 culinary y'all watch cooking shows not too much, even though 0:19:52.200 --> 0:19:54.960 I can't cook, but I enjoy it. You just be watching. 0:19:55.040 --> 0:19:57.640 I'm trans fact, so I'll be sitting there looking at 0:19:57.280 --> 0:20:00.919 the cookie shows, mouth of water times, I watch um 0:20:01.840 --> 0:20:05.280 exercise programs. I just sit there on account and watch watch. 0:20:06.640 --> 0:20:08.120 I'd be like I should get up and do that. 0:20:08.359 --> 0:20:10.960 And I like the cooking shows that make things that 0:20:11.000 --> 0:20:14.560 we actually would eat, you know what I mean. But 0:20:14.640 --> 0:20:17.000 about shows where you see people traveling around and eating 0:20:17.000 --> 0:20:22.080 things you would love too, I love those to do. 0:20:22.160 --> 0:20:26.399 The name Guy Ferrara, whatever the hell. I'm surprised he's 0:20:26.440 --> 0:20:28.320 still alive, to be honest with you. Eats a lot 0:20:28.359 --> 0:20:30.760 of crazy stuff. But maybe they just take a couple 0:20:30.800 --> 0:20:33.800 of bites exactly, And there's no way that all the time. Yeah, 0:20:35.440 --> 0:20:37.680 all right, well that is your rumor report.

You know, if you work in the 0:22:35.080 --> 0:22:36.840 tech space, you don't see a lot of us there. 0:22:37.640 --> 0:22:41.240 Also foraging women's empowerment worldwide, celebrating all the women who 0:22:41.240 --> 0:22:45.320 are forging chains, empowering women's choices in health because a 0:22:45.320 --> 0:22:47.119 lot of men are out here trying to make decisions 0:22:47.119 --> 0:22:49.840 about what we do with our body. So all of 0:22:49.880 --> 0:22:54.880 those different things, building workplaces where women thrive, and this 0:22:54.960 --> 0:22:58.439 is still an ongoing fight for equality. So happy International 0:22:58.480 --> 0:23:01.280 Women's Day and make sure you guys go out there 0:23:01.280 --> 0:23:04.560 and celebrate and do something positive. Okay, All right? Now, 0:23:04.560 --> 0:23:06.399 More than one hundred and thirty thousand people have been 0:23:06.440 --> 0:23:09.480 without power in the Northeast as there were some damaging 0:23:09.520 --> 0:23:13.120 winds that swept through the region. More than sixty five 0:23:13.240 --> 0:23:15.920 million people from the mountains of North Carolina to Cape 0:23:15.960 --> 0:23:19.440 Cod DC, Baltimore, Philly, New York. They were under wind 0:23:19.440 --> 0:23:22.399 advisories overnight. They said there were gusts of up to 0:23:22.480 --> 0:23:28.120 seventy five miles per hour, possible three damage, dangerous road conditions. 0:23:28.800 --> 0:23:31.879 There were three hundred and fifty reports of damaging winds 0:23:32.000 --> 0:23:35.040 late Sunday through Monday night. Also, so they said there 0:23:35.119 --> 0:23:38.040 was hail falling in some areas. Rain was quite heavy 0:23:38.080 --> 0:23:41.800 with this system, saturated the ground and so a lot 0:23:41.880 --> 0:23:45.160 of damage. There were some tornadoes in Iowa. Seven people 0:23:45.200 --> 0:23:48.439 were killed over the weekend, including two children. Dozens of 0:23:48.480 --> 0:23:52.120 homes were impacted, and so all of that going on 0:23:52.280 --> 0:23:54.600 with the weather. It wasn't It was a bit wild 0:23:54.680 --> 0:23:58.080 last night. I've never heard and win like that. Yeah, 0:23:58.080 --> 0:24:02.520 And I kept hearing something like I was like, what 0:24:02.760 --> 0:24:05.680 is that? It was crazy. I've had that trampoline at 0:24:05.720 --> 0:24:08.240 my house for fifteen years and never had no problem 0:24:08.240 --> 0:24:09.960 bolted down. Like when I woke up this morning, it 0:24:10.000 --> 0:24:13.920 was upside down a man. Climate change is real, because 0:24:13.960 --> 0:24:17.120 yesterday it was like, what seventy degrees We're in New York. 0:24:17.119 --> 0:24:18.960 For everybody listening to those around country, it was like 0:24:18.960 --> 0:24:21.720 seventy degrees here in New York. Then now today it's 0:24:21.760 --> 0:24:24.960 like thirty something. Yeah, and with the rain and the weather, 0:24:25.119 --> 0:24:28.480 it feels like eighteen degrees. So all right now. Joe 0:24:28.520 --> 0:24:32.120 Biden is expected to sign an executive order on cryptocurrency 0:24:32.160 --> 0:24:35.440 this week that will be the first step toward regulating 0:24:35.480 --> 0:24:38.879 how digital currency is traded. They have raised concerns in 0:24:38.920 --> 0:24:41.560 recent weeks about Russia's use of crypto to evade the 0:24:41.560 --> 0:24:44.160 impact of all the chanctions in response to the invasion 0:24:44.160 --> 0:24:46.679 of Ukraine. So as you know, the ruble, which is 0:24:46.680 --> 0:24:51.200 their their money, has sunk to historic lows and also 0:24:51.280 --> 0:24:54.240 they closed the country stock market. Two people familiar with 0:24:54.280 --> 0:24:57.920 the process said the executive Order on Cryptocurrency was expected 0:24:57.960 --> 0:24:59.960 to be issued, and it had been in the work 0:25:00.080 --> 0:25:02.440 so long before the war, so people were speaking on 0:25:03.119 --> 0:25:06.200 the condition of anonymity to preview the order. It's gonna 0:25:06.280 --> 0:25:10.359 describe what government agencies, including the Treasury Department, need to 0:25:10.400 --> 0:25:13.239 do so that they can develop policies and regulations on 0:25:13.280 --> 0:25:16.520 digital currencies. And they expect that to include a request 0:25:16.520 --> 0:25:19.080 for the State Department to ensure American crypto laws are 0:25:19.080 --> 0:25:22.000 aligned with those of US allies. And also they'll be 0:25:22.080 --> 0:25:25.840 monitoring the stability of the US financial system and studying 0:25:25.880 --> 0:25:28.520 illicit finance concerns. What does that mean? Does that mean 0:25:28.960 --> 0:25:30.240 that a lot of the other a lot of the 0:25:30.240 --> 0:25:32.160 cryptocurrencies are going to fall to the wayside, and it's 0:25:32.160 --> 0:25:34.919 only gonna be one that people focus on now. I 0:25:34.960 --> 0:25:37.119 don't think there ever will be one that people focus on, 0:25:37.119 --> 0:25:39.879 but they just need to regulate it because there's been 0:25:39.920 --> 0:25:42.640 a lot of concerns. You know, it's a global currency, 0:25:42.840 --> 0:25:44.440 and that's what I've been saying for a long time. 0:25:44.680 --> 0:25:46.720 It's been wild, wild west. So now that the government 0:25:46.760 --> 0:25:48.840 starts to regulate these things, a lot of people are 0:25:48.840 --> 0:25:51.400 getting overall. People hopefully won't anymore. A lot of people 0:25:51.440 --> 0:25:52.760 lost a lot of money. A lot of people also 0:25:52.800 --> 0:25:55.320 made a lot of money. But they're gonna start regulating, 0:25:55.359 --> 0:25:57.160 so we'll see how to regulate all of them. Though 0:25:57.520 --> 0:26:00.440 they're gonna try. I would think that you would pick 0:26:00.480 --> 0:26:02.600 one like bigcoin is probably the most successful one. You 0:26:02.640 --> 0:26:06.040 probably regulate all the coins and that what's the value 0:26:06.040 --> 0:26:07.880 of them and what their worth is because people put 0:26:07.920 --> 0:26:09.879 money into it, and then there's all these schemes and 0:26:09.960 --> 0:26:12.119 scams and you put your money into it, then you know, 0:26:12.200 --> 0:26:14.639 people take their money out. You you would last to know, 0:26:14.720 --> 0:26:16.679 and you lose your money. So they hopefully they're regulated 0:26:16.720 --> 0:26:18.600 some people, and a lot of those person don't lose. 0:26:18.720 --> 0:26:20.960 Cryptos that pop up that you never heard of, So 0:26:21.040 --> 0:26:24.359 somebody's like pushing a cryptocurrency, then they get some influencers 0:26:24.680 --> 0:26:26.880 to post about it. Then you go ahead and buy 0:26:26.920 --> 0:26:29.080 this new crypto thinking you're getting in at a rock 0:26:29.119 --> 0:26:30.760 bottom price. But that's what I mean. They're not gonna 0:26:30.760 --> 0:26:34.680 regulate all of those. The regulations whill probably handle a Yeah, 0:26:34.720 --> 0:26:37.040 that's illegal. That's like a pump and dump scheme. People 0:26:37.080 --> 0:26:38.439 do that with stocks and they can do that with 0:26:38.480 --> 0:26:41.040 crypto also. But that's what I think they're gonna get 0:26:41.080 --> 0:26:42.240 rid of a lot of those, and it's gonna be 0:26:42.280 --> 0:26:44.800 like one or two that they really focus on and 0:26:44.800 --> 0:26:47.040 regulation and I'll be the ones that everybody gravitate towards. Yeah, 0:26:47.040 --> 0:26:49.760 I think Ethereum is gonna be around. I think Bigcoin 0:26:49.760 --> 0:26:52.000 will be around, Silano. There's a lot that will still 0:26:52.240 --> 0:26:54.919 there'll be different options in different choices, but they do 0:26:55.040 --> 0:26:57.240 have to make sure. And just seeing what's happening in 0:26:57.320 --> 0:27:00.600 Russia is really showing how people are managed managing to 0:27:00.640 --> 0:27:04.240 evade the sanctions because they're using crypto and so even 0:27:04.280 --> 0:27:09.040 though the Russian money has crumbled, they're still able to 0:27:09.080 --> 0:27:12.159 finance things using cryptocurrency, which is good for people in Ukraine. 0:27:12.160 --> 0:27:14.760 People are sending them crypto so they're able to use it. 0:27:14.800 --> 0:27:17.639 But how do you regulate that? So we'll see what 0:27:17.680 --> 0:27:19.840 happens and we'll see what these sanctions are looking like. 0:27:20.240 --> 0:27:23.320 And that is your front page news all right. Now, 0:27:23.359 --> 0:27:27.080 when we come back, we have Congresswoman Corey Bush joining us. 0:27:27.200 --> 0:27:29.280 We'll talk with her when we come back, so don't move. 0:27:29.480 --> 0:27:34.399 It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, all the ladies. Some 0:27:35.520 --> 0:27:40.200 were wrapping all girl everything.

Everybody is DJ Envy and 0:28:06.640 --> 0:28:09.280 July Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. 0:28:09.320 --> 0:28:11.359 We got a special guest in the building. You have 0:28:11.440 --> 0:28:15.640 Congresswoman Corey Bush. Welcome, good morning, Thank you for having 0:28:15.680 --> 0:28:18.320 me them winning. How are you. I'm great, glad to 0:28:18.320 --> 0:28:20.840 be here. Absolutely, you know, I like you a lot 0:28:20.840 --> 0:28:23.080 of watch you when you know, pop up on MSNBC 0:28:23.240 --> 0:28:25.919 and stuff like that. And I like you because it's 0:28:25.960 --> 0:28:28.000 a member of the Democratic Party. You aren't afraid to 0:28:28.040 --> 0:28:31.760 call out. Yeah, the Democratic Party. Why why is that? Well, 0:28:31.800 --> 0:28:34.199 you know what, just even walking in here, you have 0:28:34.280 --> 0:28:37.119 a picture of Michael Brown Junior hanging up in the 0:28:37.160 --> 0:28:40.280 room next door. That's how I got into this was 0:28:40.320 --> 0:28:42.560 just feeling like we were out there on those streets 0:28:42.560 --> 0:28:45.080 of Ferguson for more than four hundred days and it 0:28:45.200 --> 0:28:47.360 was like we were doing all of that work, putting 0:28:47.360 --> 0:28:49.920 our lives on the line every single day. But we 0:28:49.960 --> 0:28:53.120 didn't have we didn't have much inside that can make 0:28:53.200 --> 0:28:55.840 change that needed to happen. Inside that was that was 0:28:55.880 --> 0:28:58.280 fighting for us, like fighting to the point of putting 0:28:58.320 --> 0:29:01.280 their name and reputation on the line. And so I 0:29:01.320 --> 0:29:03.760 didn't want to be in Congress to have a name 0:29:03.880 --> 0:29:06.120 or a title, or to make more money or any 0:29:06.160 --> 0:29:07.840 of that. I don't care about any of that. I 0:29:07.920 --> 0:29:10.960 care that I'm saving lies it's black people dying every 0:29:10.960 --> 0:29:14.040 single day at the hands of police, or whether it's 0:29:14.240 --> 0:29:18.760 healthcare disparities, environmental injustice, so much over and over again. 0:29:19.160 --> 0:29:22.400 And I feel like if we don't address poverty head on, 0:29:22.600 --> 0:29:26.320 if we just do what's comfortable, people will keep dying. 0:29:27.000 --> 0:29:30.720 So I don't have time. My dad's been a politics 0:29:30.720 --> 0:29:32.360 for most of my life, and so I swore I 0:29:32.400 --> 0:29:35.040 would never do it, you know, but it was like, 0:29:35.200 --> 0:29:38.320 how do we get this change? What did you see 0:29:38.360 --> 0:29:40.800 when your dad was in politics that made you say 0:29:40.840 --> 0:29:43.160 I don't want to be involved. He was just like 0:29:43.240 --> 0:29:46.320 always giving himself, so much of himself to every person 0:29:46.400 --> 0:29:48.640 that he met. He was the person that would build 0:29:48.680 --> 0:29:51.920 one person at a time, but so many like criticism 0:29:51.960 --> 0:29:55.400 and scrutiny and the corruption that would come around, and 0:29:55.440 --> 0:29:57.400 I would wonder, like, why do you volunteer to do 0:29:57.480 --> 0:30:01.800 this work? Now? I get it now, understand because I've 0:30:01.840 --> 0:30:04.520 been able to see youth that he helped when they 0:30:04.560 --> 0:30:08.120 were sixteen seventeen, their families that he helped come back 0:30:08.120 --> 0:30:10.479 to him and say, because of what you did, you 0:30:10.560 --> 0:30:14.800 change my life, you know, and so but I just 0:30:14.800 --> 0:30:16.520 didn't want to have any parts of that. I just 0:30:16.560 --> 0:30:18.960 felt like, you know, that can't be my role. You 0:30:19.040 --> 0:30:23.960 got in a storm right now. Yeah. So for most 0:30:23.960 --> 0:30:26.520 people that don't know what is a congresswoman's job? What 0:30:26.640 --> 0:30:29.840 is your job to today? I represent a district within 0:30:30.040 --> 0:30:33.400 the state of Missouri, so it's about roughly seven hundred 0:30:33.400 --> 0:30:36.760 and fifty thousand people. Usually m minus is a little 0:30:36.840 --> 0:30:41.240 less than that. And our job is to legislate, to 0:30:41.240 --> 0:30:43.920 to think about what's happening in our communities, what do 0:30:44.040 --> 0:30:47.680 we need, and write bills that would affect change in 0:30:47.720 --> 0:30:50.800 that area. To speak up for the district. So I 0:30:50.840 --> 0:30:53.840 know that Saint Louis is my district is Saint Louis. 0:30:53.920 --> 0:30:57.760 Let me rep my city in my time. Look and 0:30:59.720 --> 0:31:03.880 so Sat. Louis usually number one, a number two for 0:31:03.920 --> 0:31:07.680 homicides fluctuating year after year. Usually we are number one 0:31:07.840 --> 0:31:10.600 for police murder year after year, number one for the 0:31:10.680 --> 0:31:13.560 murder of children. We have all of these environmental issues 0:31:13.600 --> 0:31:15.960 and so much that just attacks the black community. So 0:31:16.040 --> 0:31:18.920 for me and as the congresswoman, I'm looking at how 0:31:18.960 --> 0:31:21.280 do I make sure that I affect those things? Now, 0:31:21.360 --> 0:31:23.640 let me ask you this. We've heard people say, and 0:31:23.720 --> 0:31:26.480 Charlemagne you've said this too, that the Democrats suck at 0:31:26.560 --> 0:31:31.200 messaging and so in particular, defund the police always kinds oft, 0:31:31.680 --> 0:31:34.000 always be right. And so I wanted to ask you 0:31:34.080 --> 0:31:36.920 what are se messages that you think Democrats need to 0:31:36.960 --> 0:31:39.600 get across so that people are clear on what needs 0:31:39.640 --> 0:31:41.959 to get done. You know, I think that when we 0:31:42.000 --> 0:31:46.000 look at the American Rescue Plan last year, so much 0:31:46.040 --> 0:31:49.440 money and still money is still being allocated, being dispersed, 0:31:49.480 --> 0:31:51.760 but you know, so much came out of the American 0:31:51.800 --> 0:31:54.000 Rescue Plan. In Saint Louis alone, we were able to 0:31:54.000 --> 0:31:56.920 get seven hundred million dollars that we wouldn't have gotten 0:31:57.040 --> 0:31:59.680 had we not had our own office not pushed to 0:31:59.720 --> 0:32:02.440 get money. It's money for housing, it was money for 0:32:03.080 --> 0:32:05.160 you know, because so many people lost homes or needed 0:32:05.200 --> 0:32:07.680 the rental assistance. You know, it was money for healthcare, 0:32:07.680 --> 0:32:09.840 it was money for just going in so many different areas, 0:32:10.040 --> 0:32:11.840 you know. But we gotta message that and say how 0:32:11.840 --> 0:32:15.640 that money actually affected the education system. Money went into schools, 0:32:16.160 --> 0:32:17.800 So we got to talk about that. But we also 0:32:17.840 --> 0:32:20.960 cannot be afraid to talk about what defund the police means. 0:32:21.320 --> 0:32:24.120 You know, we cannot, And that's my issue. It's like 0:32:24.480 --> 0:32:27.960 the anger cannot be Oh, defund the police makes people, 0:32:28.440 --> 0:32:30.400 It pushes people back, it makes people feel a type 0:32:30.440 --> 0:32:32.200 of way. We don't want to say that, you know, 0:32:32.280 --> 0:32:35.800 because the Republicans are coming against us. No, you know, 0:32:35.800 --> 0:32:37.760 if they don't get to tell us what our message is, 0:32:38.000 --> 0:32:39.920 fix the problem. And then I won't have to say, 0:32:39.960 --> 0:32:42.240 defund the police, fix the problem, and I won't have 0:32:42.280 --> 0:32:45.000 to talk about livable wages, fix the problem. And I 0:32:45.080 --> 0:32:47.720 won't have to sit here figuring out how I'm helping 0:32:47.760 --> 0:32:50.280 black women right now. Because even as we're saying, oh, 0:32:50.320 --> 0:32:53.800 these great job numbers came out today, Oh, America added 0:32:53.800 --> 0:32:56.960 three hundred and seventy eight thousand more jobs, which is wonderful, 0:32:57.360 --> 0:33:01.880 But for black women. Again, black women, our numbers did 0:33:01.920 --> 0:33:04.800 not get better. Our numbers got worse. Why is it 0:33:04.920 --> 0:33:07.640 that black women are the only ones who's unemployment numbers 0:33:07.960 --> 0:33:11.280 got worse. Our messaging has to target that. Why do 0:33:11.400 --> 0:33:14.400 Democrats always let the right like co opt their slogans 0:33:14.400 --> 0:33:16.920 like the fund the police instead of just simply explaining 0:33:16.920 --> 0:33:18.640 what the fund the police is? To get the slogan this, 0:33:18.720 --> 0:33:22.120 explain what it is it? Why don't they do that? Bypartisanship, 0:33:22.520 --> 0:33:24.040 you know, that's what I hear all the time. Oh, 0:33:24.080 --> 0:33:27.120 it's bypartisanship. We gotta make sure that we don't upset 0:33:27.160 --> 0:33:29.400 them because when they become it, when they come back 0:33:29.400 --> 0:33:32.080 into power, they're going to mistreat us what they already 0:33:32.120 --> 0:33:34.880 mistreat us. They do whatever they want that now, right, 0:33:34.960 --> 0:33:37.640 and they don't care about by partisanship. No, I'm really 0:33:37.640 --> 0:33:39.720 confused on how that works. Yeah, I don't get it. 0:33:39.840 --> 0:33:42.479 As the party, we should be able to stand up, Yeah, 0:33:42.480 --> 0:33:44.320 this is what we said, this is what we mean, 0:33:44.680 --> 0:33:47.160 you know, and we take over that narrative. I was 0:33:47.160 --> 0:33:49.680 gonna ask with the sanctions that they put on Russian 0:33:49.720 --> 0:33:51.920 it always seems like they have no money for our community. 0:33:51.920 --> 0:33:54.160 But when it's time to help another nation, they can 0:33:54.160 --> 0:33:56.120 send an ammunition, they can send money, they can send 0:33:56.120 --> 0:33:58.400 all that stuff, so billions of dollars like it's nothing. 0:33:58.520 --> 0:34:01.720 Absolutely ten billion dollar is actually right now I'm looking 0:34:01.760 --> 0:34:03.600 at Okay, while we're talking about all of this that's 0:34:03.640 --> 0:34:06.640 happening in Ukraine and Russia, what else is happening that 0:34:06.760 --> 0:34:08.799 is not being talked about? Because that's how so many 0:34:08.800 --> 0:34:12.200 things send it, rejecting to build a quotified abortion rights. Yeah, 0:34:12.239 --> 0:34:14.839 stuff like that exactly. I haven't three four days ago, 0:34:14.880 --> 0:34:17.480 I haven't heard nobody talking about that. Really. Yeah, everything 0:34:17.600 --> 0:34:20.080 is just being like passed on, you know, even talking 0:34:20.120 --> 0:34:23.440 about how the black asylum seeker is over in Ukraine, 0:34:23.440 --> 0:34:25.879 how they're being treated. You know, we can't get enough 0:34:25.920 --> 0:34:29.320 attention put on that, you know, but everywhere we're seeing 0:34:29.360 --> 0:34:31.759 black and brown people being pushed to the side, no 0:34:31.800 --> 0:34:33.680 matter what part of the world you're in. Can I 0:34:33.719 --> 0:34:35.680 can I comment on your fingernail, your fails a fire? 0:34:35.680 --> 0:34:39.000 But people, you know, oh, you're supposed to change your nails, 0:34:39.000 --> 0:34:40.840 and you're supposed to change your hair and all of 0:34:40.880 --> 0:34:45.080 this who I am And it's because you use your 0:34:45.120 --> 0:34:50.640 hands a last. Yeah, these are still my black history nails. 0:34:52.440 --> 0:34:54.680 You don't want to shout out your nail jack, you 0:34:54.800 --> 0:34:57.520 know what I mean? She's still paying for a price 0:34:57.520 --> 0:35:02.719 that's su But should so should the United States be 0:35:02.760 --> 0:35:06.560 sending over money and weapons to Ukraine. I look at 0:35:06.560 --> 0:35:08.759 this two ways. I look at it from the standpoint 0:35:08.760 --> 0:35:11.600 of the person who's on the ground, who has to 0:35:11.680 --> 0:35:13.160 move and get out of there and get out of 0:35:13.200 --> 0:35:15.280 where they are just in case their home is bombed. 0:35:15.400 --> 0:35:16.960 You know. So do we need to make sure that 0:35:17.080 --> 0:35:20.440 humanitarian aid is there? Absolutely, But it should not just 0:35:20.520 --> 0:35:23.560 be us. Other countries should be helping to make sure 0:35:23.560 --> 0:35:25.600 that that is done, because if it was us and 0:35:25.680 --> 0:35:27.759 we needed help someone, we would need someone else to 0:35:27.800 --> 0:35:31.680 help us weapons. You know, I'm anti war, so I'm 0:35:31.760 --> 0:35:34.359 not for that, but I do understand. I keep going 0:35:34.400 --> 0:35:36.440 back to what if it was me? What if it 0:35:36.520 --> 0:35:39.000 was my kids and they had nothing to fight with? 0:35:39.239 --> 0:35:41.600 The thing is for me. Why are we talking about 0:35:41.640 --> 0:35:44.160 sending more weapons and more weapons and we are not 0:35:44.239 --> 0:35:47.240 even talking about a diplomatic solution. What about a cease 0:35:47.520 --> 0:35:50.120 What about really making it clear that we need a ceasefire? 0:35:50.320 --> 0:35:53.239 What about talking to the allies, to those folks that 0:35:53.320 --> 0:35:55.879 do have good relationships with Russia. Why did I bring 0:35:55.920 --> 0:35:58.399 them to the car. Why aren't we talking about Saudi Arabe. 0:35:58.400 --> 0:36:00.440 But why aren't we talking about some of these countries 0:36:00.440 --> 0:36:03.120 that have those relationships, Because I don't want to keep 0:36:03.160 --> 0:36:06.120 thinking about sending sending weapons because weapons hurting. You know, 0:36:06.120 --> 0:36:07.759 at the end of the day, those weapons will hurt 0:36:07.800 --> 0:36:10.280 innocent people. Do you think that will end up sending 0:36:10.400 --> 0:36:14.880 troops into Ukraine? I thought they did already. They're in 0:36:14.920 --> 0:36:18.600 the neighboring countries. Um, if the President keeps saying not, 0:36:18.800 --> 0:36:21.520 I honestly don't know. But I also don't think that 0:36:21.520 --> 0:36:23.000 this is going to be something that's just going to 0:36:23.120 --> 0:36:25.120 last this year or next year. This is probably going 0:36:25.160 --> 0:36:27.759 to be a decade, you know, or more if we 0:36:27.880 --> 0:36:30.880 don't actually do something. All right, we got more with 0:36:30.920 --> 0:36:35.400 Congresswoman Corey Bush. Don't move. It's the breakfast club. Good morning, Charlomagne. 0:36:35.560 --> 0:36:38.080 What do you think about mansion and cinema making Biden 0:36:38.320 --> 0:36:41.640 looking so ineffective or the Biden administration just an ineffective period? 0:36:42.160 --> 0:36:45.719 You know, to have these two senators that have been 0:36:45.719 --> 0:36:50.520 able to totally disrupt his agenda like it bothers me 0:36:50.640 --> 0:36:52.960 day to day when I think about the four million 0:36:53.040 --> 0:36:56.080 children that just went back into poverty because that child 0:36:56.080 --> 0:36:59.880 tax credit ended. Joe mansion Kirsten Cinema should not be 0:37:00.200 --> 0:37:02.920 able to make decisions for the entire country for people 0:37:02.920 --> 0:37:04.680 that don't have to live the way that other people 0:37:04.719 --> 0:37:07.080 have to live. They don't have those same issues that 0:37:07.160 --> 0:37:09.560 other people have to face and to make those decisions. 0:37:10.000 --> 0:37:13.440 It's rehensible that they just don't even that nothing happens, 0:37:13.680 --> 0:37:16.479 and so they have no business being in those types 0:37:16.520 --> 0:37:19.520 of positions. If they don't care about regular people, if 0:37:19.520 --> 0:37:22.000 you are so corporate back that all you care about 0:37:22.080 --> 0:37:24.920 is those is those corporate donors, then go go do 0:37:25.080 --> 0:37:28.239 that work. You know, um, I feel like me and 0:37:28.280 --> 0:37:31.319 five of my friends people call the squad. You know, 0:37:31.560 --> 0:37:34.000 we stuck our next out. As much as we want 0:37:34.000 --> 0:37:36.680 the infrastructure money, we absolutely want that money. We want 0:37:36.719 --> 0:37:38.560 to make sure that our roads and bridges and you 0:37:38.600 --> 0:37:40.600 know all of that. We want that money that was 0:37:40.640 --> 0:37:42.960 in there for climaing. But when you say, well we 0:37:43.000 --> 0:37:45.879 can give you this, but oh healthcare, home health workers, Yeah, 0:37:45.880 --> 0:37:47.239 we don't want to We don't want to deal with that. 0:37:47.280 --> 0:37:49.600 Oh children need childcare. Oh no, no, we don't want 0:37:49.600 --> 0:37:51.160 to pay for that, you know, we don't. We don't 0:37:51.160 --> 0:37:53.759 want money for community violence prevention, and we don't want 0:37:53.760 --> 0:37:56.040 to lower prescription drug costs. We don't want to cap 0:37:56.040 --> 0:37:58.520 insulent thirty five dollars. No, we don't need all of that. 0:37:58.560 --> 0:38:00.960 We just need to take her of our rosen bridges. 0:38:01.120 --> 0:38:04.040 I have a problem with that. We stood up when 0:38:04.040 --> 0:38:07.080 the President made the phone call. He made a phone 0:38:07.120 --> 0:38:09.200 call to say and need you all to stand with 0:38:09.280 --> 0:38:12.360 me and go ahead and vote. We have to move forward. 0:38:12.440 --> 0:38:15.360 You know, we need to get the infrastructure package. We 0:38:15.400 --> 0:38:17.600 need to get that deal done today, that vote done. 0:38:18.200 --> 0:38:20.560 I was clear and I said no. I said I wasn't. 0:38:20.600 --> 0:38:23.520 I wasn't supporting that. You know, I didn't. I didn't 0:38:23.560 --> 0:38:26.520 go to Congress. I didn't run the way that I ran. 0:38:26.600 --> 0:38:29.280 You know, after my very first run to get in Congress, 0:38:29.480 --> 0:38:31.239 you know, I suffered a very violent rate three and 0:38:31.239 --> 0:38:33.960 a half weeks later and I still ran. I still 0:38:33.960 --> 0:38:37.160 started running again for four months later. After my second race, 0:38:37.239 --> 0:38:40.359 I was t boned and couldn't walk the last two 0:38:40.360 --> 0:38:43.320 and a half months of my race Alexandra Kano Quartet. 0:38:44.520 --> 0:38:48.880 Another car, a car was revving up and hit me, 0:38:49.400 --> 0:38:51.719 but I still turned around and ran again. And then 0:38:51.760 --> 0:38:54.360 even I had COVID the next time when I was running, 0:38:54.480 --> 0:38:57.240 but I still ran again because I was thinking about 0:38:57.520 --> 0:38:59.960 how do we make sure that these voices end up 0:39:00.239 --> 0:39:02.840 there that can make change, even if it hurts me. 0:39:03.320 --> 0:39:05.319 It was like, how can I turn my back on 0:39:05.360 --> 0:39:07.680 the people now? You know? And it's not that I 0:39:07.719 --> 0:39:10.560 don't respect our president. It's not that at all. But 0:39:10.680 --> 0:39:13.120 I came here to represent the people of my district. 0:39:13.280 --> 0:39:15.960 I do respect that. But you know, sometimes they say, 0:39:16.080 --> 0:39:19.680 you know, staying busy is a trauma response. It keeps 0:39:19.680 --> 0:39:21.560 you from thinking about all the things that you're going through. 0:39:21.560 --> 0:39:24.560 So are you okay after all that stuff that you 0:39:24.640 --> 0:39:30.560 went through? Yeah, I'm you know, I still therapist. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 0:39:30.600 --> 0:39:33.200 you know, Um, I have a therapist, um, and I 0:39:33.239 --> 0:39:35.359 do things that help me to get through. So like 0:39:35.719 --> 0:39:38.680 this is a this is a yeah, well, well the 0:39:38.719 --> 0:39:41.399 little things on it, these these run songs. If I'm 0:39:41.440 --> 0:39:43.879 having a moment where I'm starting to feel triggered, then 0:39:43.920 --> 0:39:45.560 you you rub on that and it helps to bring 0:39:45.600 --> 0:39:47.400 you back. Oh yeah, I got all kinds of tricks. 0:39:47.400 --> 0:39:49.080 So you're actively healing, Like I know you got my 0:39:49.120 --> 0:39:52.359 polysantal head. We do all that exactly. Absolutely, Okay, I'm 0:39:52.520 --> 0:39:56.040 president do right now to get some of these bills 0:39:56.080 --> 0:40:00.319 passed because some people feel like he's not being aggressive enough. Yeah. 0:40:00.360 --> 0:40:03.799 So what I've been talking about with people that I 0:40:03.840 --> 0:40:07.440 work more closely with, one of those people being Senator 0:40:07.480 --> 0:40:10.520 Bernie Sanders, is just the pullouts, Like what can we 0:40:10.520 --> 0:40:13.640 pull out of that bill back Better Act and to 0:40:13.760 --> 0:40:15.799 at least get some of these things done. So what 0:40:15.840 --> 0:40:18.040 can we do as a standalone bill? So? Can we 0:40:18.080 --> 0:40:21.399 do community violence prevention money? Can we poll that five 0:40:21.440 --> 0:40:23.520 billion dollars out and go ahead and get that money? 0:40:23.800 --> 0:40:26.319 You know? Can we do the childcare? You know? Can 0:40:26.360 --> 0:40:28.000 we make sure that three and four year olds are 0:40:28.040 --> 0:40:29.640 able to go to school and the parents I have 0:40:29.719 --> 0:40:32.359 to pay anything and so some of so just looking 0:40:32.360 --> 0:40:34.080 at how we can do that. You know, we didn't 0:40:34.120 --> 0:40:36.480 get George Floyd justice in policing, but can we do 0:40:36.560 --> 0:40:39.719 something to get ending qualified immunity? You know, I was 0:40:39.760 --> 0:40:42.400 just yesterday I was at a press conference with the 0:40:42.520 --> 0:40:47.120 Joseph family. Andrew Joseph, the third fourteen year old who 0:40:47.200 --> 0:40:51.240 was killed in Tampa, Florida, eight years ago. Eight years 0:40:51.239 --> 0:40:53.279 his family has been fighting for justice for them, for 0:40:53.880 --> 0:40:58.480 their child and accountability actually for their child. But eight 0:40:58.560 --> 0:41:00.239 years and we still don't have We're no close to 0:41:00.280 --> 0:41:03.200 the ending qualified immunity. So those are things that we 0:41:03.440 --> 0:41:05.560 need to be looking at. What we can pull out 0:41:06.560 --> 0:41:08.640 from that bill, from any of the bills that we 0:41:08.719 --> 0:41:11.400 haven't gotten. We don't even have voting rights. Do you 0:41:11.440 --> 0:41:14.359 remember on the campaign trail when Democrats actually cared about 0:41:14.360 --> 0:41:17.480 police reform, when they used to at least talk about it, 0:41:17.560 --> 0:41:20.120 like what happened Joe Biden didn't even mention it in 0:41:20.120 --> 0:41:24.000 the State of the Union. Yeah, you know, the Republicans 0:41:24.000 --> 0:41:27.160 have been able to shape the narrative just so. It's 0:41:27.200 --> 0:41:29.720 to the point of, no matter what you say about 0:41:29.719 --> 0:41:32.279 police reform, it means defunding the police. No matter what 0:41:32.320 --> 0:41:36.759 you say about police reform, it means division. And for us, 0:41:36.800 --> 0:41:40.640 our voice has to be louder on what it actually means. 0:41:41.080 --> 0:41:44.520 And you you don't get to tell us how we 0:41:44.560 --> 0:41:48.480 can react, or how we should or how we should behave, 0:41:48.719 --> 0:41:51.480 or what our anger looks like, or what type of 0:41:51.520 --> 0:41:53.680 policies we should push forward. You don't get to tell 0:41:53.760 --> 0:41:58.400 us that if the problem still persists, Because twenty one 0:41:58.560 --> 0:42:02.719 had the highest number of police killings in the last 0:42:02.800 --> 0:42:05.920 several years. Millions of people were out in the streets 0:42:05.920 --> 0:42:09.839 in twenty twenty fighting with justice and the numbers went up. 0:42:10.360 --> 0:42:13.440 Why is that because we're not doing what we need 0:42:13.480 --> 0:42:15.439 to do to address the problem. And like you said, 0:42:15.719 --> 0:42:17.360 if we would have heard that come across at the 0:42:17.400 --> 0:42:20.120 State of the Union the other night, that would have 0:42:20.160 --> 0:42:22.560 set the stage, set the narrative. It would have said 0:42:22.640 --> 0:42:26.919 for the rest of the year, this is already. Yes, 0:42:27.200 --> 0:42:28.680 they don't even mention it. How have you gotten a 0:42:28.719 --> 0:42:30.640 response from the White House? Because I know you said 0:42:30.680 --> 0:42:34.440 that you criticize your Biden for not even mentioning saving 0:42:34.480 --> 0:42:35.920 black lives at the State of the Union. Have you 0:42:36.000 --> 0:42:38.719 gotten a response from them? No? I have not surprised. 0:42:38.760 --> 0:42:42.840 We haven't. But but but the thing is, our president 0:42:42.880 --> 0:42:45.799 and the administration they know exactly how I feel. In 0:42:45.840 --> 0:42:48.120 my conversations that I've had with the President or the 0:42:48.239 --> 0:42:52.000 Vice President or other parts of other members of the administration. 0:42:52.000 --> 0:42:53.919 I have been very clear from day one. I don't 0:42:53.920 --> 0:42:56.200 believe they were surprised. Demos don't care about black people 0:42:56.239 --> 0:42:57.799 no more. I feel like they know they got us. 0:42:57.800 --> 0:43:00.640 They can our votes a damn their game yaranteed. And 0:43:00.640 --> 0:43:02.880 it's just like our issues and everything else can go 0:43:03.120 --> 0:43:05.719 to the backburn. You know what ends up happening is 0:43:05.760 --> 0:43:08.440 and this is something that at least, this is my opinion. 0:43:09.239 --> 0:43:13.719 When I came to Congress, I was oftentimes told, well, like, 0:43:13.920 --> 0:43:16.160 don't say those things, because we got to make sure 0:43:16.239 --> 0:43:18.239 that we get you know, that we get our more 0:43:18.280 --> 0:43:21.359 moderate democrats reelected, because it's more important that we keep 0:43:21.719 --> 0:43:24.439 these seats than it is that we like really push 0:43:24.520 --> 0:43:27.799 in some areas. And I can understand wanting to keep 0:43:27.800 --> 0:43:29.560 seats because we need the numbers to be able to 0:43:29.600 --> 0:43:32.840 get things done. But you know, we can no longer 0:43:32.920 --> 0:43:35.319 push those communities to the side to be able to 0:43:35.360 --> 0:43:38.120 save seats. We got to do both at the same time. 0:43:38.520 --> 0:43:40.719 You save lives and you figure out how to communicate 0:43:40.760 --> 0:43:43.600 to save seats. But Congress Owen Bush, how has voting 0:43:43.680 --> 0:43:47.600 rates become a far left issue the cornerstone of our democracy? 0:43:47.920 --> 0:43:49.520 How has that become a far left issue? Why is 0:43:49.560 --> 0:43:51.640 that a radical to talk about people having voting rights 0:43:52.000 --> 0:43:54.919 when we look at the history. You know, we had 0:43:54.960 --> 0:43:57.160 to fight to get those rights in the first place. 0:43:57.200 --> 0:43:59.840 You know, it was it was definitely an issue of 0:44:00.320 --> 0:44:03.520 you know, of what white supremacy looks like in this country, 0:44:03.640 --> 0:44:06.320 and white supremacy is not dead. It didn't go anywhere, 0:44:06.760 --> 0:44:09.520 It didn't even have to morph. It is ingrained into 0:44:09.760 --> 0:44:12.560 this society. And so what we're doing is we're pulling 0:44:12.600 --> 0:44:16.880 the threads trying to break that apart. But when we 0:44:16.960 --> 0:44:19.600 have people who get in power and want to hold 0:44:19.680 --> 0:44:22.480 those structures, that's why that's where we get this from. 0:44:22.480 --> 0:44:25.560 We get the rhetoric that says that, you know, if 0:44:25.600 --> 0:44:28.080 we talk about voting rights, then that means that you're 0:44:28.120 --> 0:44:31.560 trying to push a black agenda. You're pushing a black agenda. Well, 0:44:31.640 --> 0:44:35.000 the problem is when black folks and brown folks are 0:44:35.280 --> 0:44:37.440 in our Native community members are the ones that are 0:44:37.480 --> 0:44:40.360 targeted with the voter suppression. That can't continue to be 0:44:40.440 --> 0:44:42.640 the strategy for them. As though right Dems can't always 0:44:43.080 --> 0:44:46.000 energize us to vote by telling us that our right 0:44:46.040 --> 0:44:48.160 to vote is being taken away, at some point they 0:44:48.160 --> 0:44:51.080 should be governing like they want us to go out 0:44:51.080 --> 0:44:52.520 there and vote for them. I want to go vote 0:44:52.520 --> 0:44:55.399 for them because they're actually doing things for us, as 0:44:55.440 --> 0:44:57.600 opposed to scaring me and telling me go vote because 0:44:57.600 --> 0:45:00.200 they're trying to take you right to vote away. Yeah. Yeah, 0:45:00.239 --> 0:45:02.759 And so that's what I'm hoping. I'm hoping that at 0:45:02.800 --> 0:45:05.400 least with these pullouts that we're talking about these standalone 0:45:05.440 --> 0:45:08.719 bills that at least we can bring something home to say, look, 0:45:08.840 --> 0:45:10.640 these are the promises we made, so we have to 0:45:10.680 --> 0:45:13.080 deliver on them. You know, I don't blame people. I 0:45:13.160 --> 0:45:16.120 hear all the time when they say, well, why you know, 0:45:16.200 --> 0:45:18.440 like you told us that if we did this, that 0:45:18.520 --> 0:45:21.120 we would get these things, and now those things didn't happen, 0:45:21.360 --> 0:45:23.239 and so why should I Why should I believe that 0:45:23.320 --> 0:45:26.239 something will change? Now? You know, I get it, I 0:45:26.320 --> 0:45:28.319 absolutely get it. But one thing that I tell them 0:45:28.719 --> 0:45:31.960 is that your vote is not just for that one 0:45:32.000 --> 0:45:35.160 person or that one thing. You know, there are ballot 0:45:35.200 --> 0:45:38.000 initiatives on that same ballot. There are other more local 0:45:38.440 --> 0:45:41.600 people running for office on that same ballot. So I 0:45:42.000 --> 0:45:44.360 make it clear that it's so much more than I 0:45:44.480 --> 0:45:47.640 know that sometimes Congress and the presidency looks like, oh well, 0:45:47.640 --> 0:45:49.640 they don't care about us, but if there are also 0:45:49.719 --> 0:45:52.920 it's a lot of local issues there that we need 0:45:53.000 --> 0:45:55.440 to we have to care about. All Right, we got 0:45:55.520 --> 0:45:58.359 more with Congresswoman Corey Bush. Don't move. It's to breakfast club. 0:45:58.360 --> 0:46:03.120 Good morning morning, everybody, cj Envy angela Ye, Charlomagne, the 0:46:03.160 --> 0:46:05.080 guy we are. The breakfast club was still kicking it 0:46:05.120 --> 0:46:09.600 with Congresswoman Corey Bush Charlomagne. So why should voters vote 0:46:09.600 --> 0:46:12.600 for Democrats in the midterms when Democrats haven't gotten done 0:46:12.600 --> 0:46:15.120 with thee said the Wood thus far. Yeah, but the 0:46:15.120 --> 0:46:17.920 the alternative to that is people who are actively working 0:46:17.960 --> 0:46:20.560 against us. But people will say, well, Joe Mansion is 0:46:20.600 --> 0:46:25.399 actively working against us. Yeah, right, but yeah, it wouldn't matter. 0:46:25.920 --> 0:46:28.520 Run somebody against him. Yeah, oh, absolutely, got against him. 0:46:28.920 --> 0:46:31.600 Absolutely absolutely. He might as well just go ahead and 0:46:31.640 --> 0:46:33.279 be a Republican. You know, you know, you're one of 0:46:33.320 --> 0:46:35.400 the only ones that say that everybody else be scared 0:46:35.400 --> 0:46:38.480 to death to even say his name, like he's candy Man. Yeah. 0:46:38.480 --> 0:46:41.680 You know, let me tell you from what I've seen 0:46:41.719 --> 0:46:44.400 in my life, if they you know, they messed up 0:46:44.400 --> 0:46:48.040 by not killing me doing Ferguson. So now yeah they yeah, yeah, yeah, 0:46:48.040 --> 0:46:51.000 they missed. And so you know those bullets they hit 0:46:51.040 --> 0:46:54.120 my car, they didn't hit me, they didn't hit my daughter. 0:46:53.960 --> 0:46:57.960 That happened, Well that was another time. But what happened yet? 0:46:58.760 --> 0:47:02.000 So just recently, you know, somebody came up to my 0:47:02.120 --> 0:47:04.360 car door. I was not in the car, was inside 0:47:04.360 --> 0:47:06.719 of my home. Um, someone was in my car that 0:47:06.760 --> 0:47:08.160 came up to the car. The person was like, what 0:47:08.200 --> 0:47:10.400 are you doing? Um, and they got spooked and they 0:47:10.400 --> 0:47:12.879 turned around and they started shooting and dumped about tim 0:47:12.920 --> 0:47:17.400 bullets into my vehicle. The person didn't get hit. Um. Yeah, 0:47:17.400 --> 0:47:20.160 so I came running like what is happening? But yeah, 0:47:20.160 --> 0:47:26.040 so no, we were fine. But I think it was 0:47:26.080 --> 0:47:28.440 just random. They you know, we didn't there was no 0:47:28.600 --> 0:47:32.759 like investigation or anything into that investigation. Police didn't come. 0:47:32.760 --> 0:47:34.880 They didn't. I mean, they came and they took pictures, 0:47:34.920 --> 0:47:39.880 they got they you know, I don't know though, because 0:47:40.280 --> 0:47:43.640 I do live in a lethal toxic environment, you know, 0:47:43.760 --> 0:47:46.399 And we didn't catch anyone. We don't know exactly who 0:47:46.400 --> 0:47:48.680 it was. Um. And it's not the first time I 0:47:48.719 --> 0:47:50.880 happened the place where I live now, I moved from 0:47:50.920 --> 0:47:53.040 the other place that my my car got hit with 0:47:53.040 --> 0:47:55.360 bullets at that place right in front of my home again, 0:47:56.120 --> 0:47:58.359 you know, another time like I like I brought up 0:47:58.360 --> 0:48:00.480 that was doing ferguson though in our car was hit 0:48:00.520 --> 0:48:03.040 with bullets. So you know, I've gone through so much, 0:48:03.360 --> 0:48:06.560 you know, I'm I'm more afraid of what happens to 0:48:06.680 --> 0:48:09.719 our people who don't have any type of help, that 0:48:09.840 --> 0:48:12.120 don't have that are looking for an advocate. When I 0:48:12.160 --> 0:48:13.960 was sleeping out on the street, I didn't know who 0:48:14.040 --> 0:48:16.000 to talk to. I was sleeping on the street with 0:48:16.160 --> 0:48:19.279 my babies in the car. We had had nowhere to go, 0:48:19.360 --> 0:48:20.839 and I didn't know who to talk to. I didn't 0:48:20.840 --> 0:48:23.480 know how to get out of that situation. I remember 0:48:23.520 --> 0:48:26.320 being so hungry that I was only feeding my babies, 0:48:26.360 --> 0:48:29.080 and I would go for days without eating. I don't 0:48:29.080 --> 0:48:31.439 want anyone else to go through those issues. So I'm 0:48:31.480 --> 0:48:34.320 more afraid of not being effective enough to help those 0:48:34.360 --> 0:48:36.680 folks that are going dealing with that than I am 0:48:36.680 --> 0:48:38.680 about some bullets that somebody can shoot at me, than 0:48:38.719 --> 0:48:41.000 I am about somebody hurting me and all of that. 0:48:41.080 --> 0:48:44.240 But I'm smart enough to know I gotta be alive 0:48:44.320 --> 0:48:46.319 in order to do this work. So that's why I 0:48:46.360 --> 0:48:50.080 have security. I know God protecting me, but I still 0:48:50.080 --> 0:48:52.400 sleep on my gap. You know. Look, he gives us wisdom. 0:48:53.239 --> 0:48:54.719 I only got to come to questions. I know you 0:48:54.760 --> 0:48:57.200 gotta go, but I love this tweet. You without Democrats 0:48:57.200 --> 0:48:59.920 trying to out Republican Republicans is not a Winnie scratg 0:49:00.320 --> 0:49:02.799 What that mean? The whole idea that was another part 0:49:02.840 --> 0:49:06.400 of the whole defund the police. It was just that rhetoric, 0:49:06.520 --> 0:49:08.279 and you know, just making sure that they just keep 0:49:08.320 --> 0:49:11.240 drilling those points, but not just defund the police anything 0:49:11.320 --> 0:49:13.799 like if you if we take the Republican talking points, 0:49:13.920 --> 0:49:15.600 or if we allow them to tell us what we 0:49:15.719 --> 0:49:18.359 think or to stop us. You know, when I think 0:49:18.400 --> 0:49:20.520 about the insurrection, when I think about being there that 0:49:20.640 --> 0:49:24.320 day when the insurrection happened, when these folks attacked the capital, 0:49:24.680 --> 0:49:26.560 you know, the next day we were right back at work, 0:49:26.680 --> 0:49:29.640 still working alongside people who were involved. Yeah, And I 0:49:29.680 --> 0:49:31.480 have to look at them every single day. I'm in 0:49:31.719 --> 0:49:34.400 coat committees with them, I'm in the halls with them. 0:49:34.440 --> 0:49:37.160 They hop on the elevator like, those folks are around us, 0:49:37.360 --> 0:49:39.799 in their staff, around us all the time, you know, 0:49:40.480 --> 0:49:42.919 And so I listening to the things that they say. 0:49:43.000 --> 0:49:46.200 They talk every no matter what the conversation is about, 0:49:46.239 --> 0:49:49.239 it always goes back to the border and who's trying 0:49:49.239 --> 0:49:51.080 to hurt us at the border, and who are the 0:49:51.160 --> 0:49:54.160 thugs and just all of this kind of craziness. Those 0:49:54.200 --> 0:49:57.200 folks aren't standing up for Those folks don't don't believe 0:49:57.480 --> 0:50:01.440 that it should be equal. Think about folks that gave 0:50:01.520 --> 0:50:04.560 their lives that their blood, sweat and tears. Think about 0:50:04.560 --> 0:50:08.400 what happened during reconstruction. Think about how Black Americans built, built, 0:50:08.880 --> 0:50:12.239 enslaved Africans, and then Black Americans built this country, and 0:50:12.280 --> 0:50:14.239 how we still have We still don't have what we 0:50:14.840 --> 0:50:17.440 should have from there's been no reparations. We can't even 0:50:17.480 --> 0:50:19.480 get equity to talk about equality. We can't even get 0:50:19.520 --> 0:50:22.000 equity to even get to equality. We didn't even hear 0:50:22.040 --> 0:50:23.840 Biden talk about that, like all of those things that 0:50:23.880 --> 0:50:25.880 they used as talking points to real black people in 0:50:26.040 --> 0:50:28.360 the camp Paigture, I didn't him talk about racial equity 0:50:28.520 --> 0:50:30.200 during the State of the Union. Didn't him talk about 0:50:30.239 --> 0:50:34.080 police reform? Nothing? No, And so I talked about it. 0:50:34.120 --> 0:50:37.040 They talked about voting rights real briefly, So I'll talk 0:50:37.040 --> 0:50:39.880 about it. Congresswoman Bush, does it benefit black people to 0:50:39.960 --> 0:50:42.800 be a part of anyone particular party. Let me just 0:50:42.880 --> 0:50:45.480 say this. When my very first run, I ran as 0:50:45.480 --> 0:50:47.560 an independent. I was running as an independent at first, 0:50:47.600 --> 0:50:49.600 and then I had to switch to a Democrat. I 0:50:49.760 --> 0:50:53.520 wanted to be able to go where the legislation was 0:50:53.640 --> 0:50:56.600 that meant the most for my community. But the issue 0:50:56.800 --> 0:50:58.880 is when we look at what has happened over the 0:50:58.960 --> 0:51:02.640 last even a few years since Donald Trump became president. 0:51:03.080 --> 0:51:05.520 The way he ran and what he believed is not 0:51:05.680 --> 0:51:08.359 only in Congress anymore. It's in our secretary it's our 0:51:08.360 --> 0:51:11.640 secretaries of state, it's in our school boards, it's all 0:51:11.719 --> 0:51:14.000 over the place. So now we're at a point a 0:51:14.080 --> 0:51:16.400 place where now we got to make that decision because 0:51:17.040 --> 0:51:20.560 the Republican Party is so much like there's a lot 0:51:20.680 --> 0:51:26.800 of just anti blackness in an anti brown community, anti 0:51:26.920 --> 0:51:30.839 Asian community, anti anti anti so I think looking at 0:51:30.920 --> 0:51:33.880 who is going to care enough about your situation. I 0:51:33.960 --> 0:51:36.319 think right now we're still looking at the Democrats, even 0:51:36.360 --> 0:51:38.520 though it's not great. I'm not even gonna lie it's 0:51:38.560 --> 0:51:41.880 not great. But that's why I'm pushing for help, getting 0:51:41.920 --> 0:51:45.800 more folks that are willing to do that fight. You know, 0:51:46.120 --> 0:51:48.720 that's where we have to be, y'all. Often one thing nowadays, 0:51:48.760 --> 0:51:51.560 our Democrats are really pro black? Are they just tolerant 0:51:52.040 --> 0:51:55.120 of blacks? Yeah? Yeah, that's what it feels like. That 0:51:55.200 --> 0:51:58.000 feels like that's the party that tolerates us. Yeah. I 0:51:58.080 --> 0:52:00.440 can't call him pro black because the actions those well, 0:52:00.480 --> 0:52:02.839 you know what, I think what's weaved in there though, 0:52:03.560 --> 0:52:06.440 it's still money. Because I sit with these people all 0:52:06.480 --> 0:52:08.520 the time and they'll talk about like, yeah, Corey, we 0:52:08.600 --> 0:52:10.520 believe that, Yeah, we'll do that, And I say, well, 0:52:10.520 --> 0:52:12.799 why won't you Why won't you support me on this bill? 0:52:12.920 --> 0:52:15.600 Why won't you do this? Well? See, you know I 0:52:16.400 --> 0:52:18.640 you know I can't go against X or I can't. 0:52:18.800 --> 0:52:21.120 So part of it is, you know, yeah, I support 0:52:21.200 --> 0:52:23.839 those things, but because of this money that I took, 0:52:24.280 --> 0:52:26.799 or because of how I ran, you know, those things, 0:52:26.880 --> 0:52:30.520 so that it's a that comes into play. My last question, 0:52:30.560 --> 0:52:34.319 congressmen bulls, how would you define our democracy right now? Oh? 0:52:35.040 --> 0:52:38.360 H it's suffering. Our democracy never was strong in the 0:52:38.400 --> 0:52:41.400 first place. Let's just be it never was strong because 0:52:41.400 --> 0:52:43.719 when you have whole groups of people where there's no 0:52:43.840 --> 0:52:46.360 equity and we're not equal in this country, was never strong. 0:52:47.440 --> 0:52:49.800 But we're in a place now where I feel like 0:52:49.880 --> 0:52:51.680 it's being the little bit that we did have as 0:52:51.719 --> 0:52:54.520 being poured apart, ripped to shreds. And there has been 0:52:54.640 --> 0:52:58.320 this um mobilization happening that we didn't even see, that 0:52:58.400 --> 0:53:01.359 we didn't know about, and so we got to come 0:53:01.400 --> 0:53:03.480 out just as hard if we want, if we want 0:53:03.560 --> 0:53:07.799 to reclaim this democracy, and you know, to the point 0:53:08.560 --> 0:53:11.279 where we actually feel it should be, not just where 0:53:11.320 --> 0:53:12.920 it was, because we got to do better than what 0:53:13.040 --> 0:53:15.839 we had. If we're going to do that, we gotta 0:53:15.920 --> 0:53:18.279 come out harder than we've ever been and we've got 0:53:18.360 --> 0:53:20.440 to do this thing differently than we've ever done it. 0:53:20.840 --> 0:53:24.280 And so I'm looking for more you know, quote unquote 0:53:24.680 --> 0:53:29.279 warriors soldiers that's willing to do that fight, right, Congresswoman 0:53:29.360 --> 0:53:31.839 Corey Bush, we appreciate you for joining us this morning.

There is 0:55:33.239 --> 0:55:36.560 nothing else like it. As a lifelong Angelino and collector, 0:55:36.719 --> 0:55:38.799 a a collector of real estate, I recognize this as 0:55:38.840 --> 0:55:41.440 a rare opportunity that also lets me own a unique 0:55:41.480 --> 0:55:44.120 property that is destined to be a part of Los 0:55:44.200 --> 0:55:47.120 Angeles history. Now, mind you, this house was going for 0:55:47.280 --> 0:55:50.080 five hundred million dollars. That was asking what does I 0:55:50.160 --> 0:55:51.880 guess it got it for a bargain at one hundred 0:55:51.880 --> 0:55:54.360 and twenty six million. Is it a spaceship on the weekends? 0:55:54.400 --> 0:55:57.640 Can visit Mars? What does it do? I mean, it's 0:55:57.640 --> 0:55:59.440 it's a house that just has every amenity that you 0:55:59.440 --> 0:56:04.319 could poss imagine, from bowling alley to movie theater, tennis court, 0:56:04.480 --> 0:56:08.439 basketball courts, there's you name it, numerous bedrooms.

He needs like twelve kids and laws, all 0:56:14.640 --> 0:56:16.680 types of things in there that I mean, congratulations to him. 0:56:16.719 --> 0:56:19.160 I love it. Well, Drake is selling three homes that 0:56:19.239 --> 0:56:22.120 he has in Hidden Hills, California, and he is selling 0:56:22.200 --> 0:56:25.120 those three homes. You can buy them all together, all 0:56:25.200 --> 0:56:28.279 three offered at twenty two point two million dollars. And 0:56:29.280 --> 0:56:30.759 you know, if you want to get that, you can 0:56:30.840 --> 0:56:33.439 make it happen. We told you earlier that he also 0:56:33.600 --> 0:56:37.880 just bought a new home as well. That's in Los Angeles, proper. 0:56:38.480 --> 0:56:43.520 I'm a biden. Bitcoin people aren't buying mansions with bitcoin. 0:56:43.760 --> 0:56:45.560 Well Drake did with that house is dope too, because 0:56:45.560 --> 0:56:48.120 he purchased a house, any purchased the properties next to him, 0:56:48.200 --> 0:56:50.200 so nobody would live next to him. He has the 0:56:50.239 --> 0:56:52.440 space to put, you know, a gated vicinity around it, 0:56:52.520 --> 0:56:54.480 so nobody could just run upon his property. So it's 0:56:54.520 --> 0:56:56.640 just wild to hear that kind of money being thrown around, 0:56:56.719 --> 0:56:58.760 and like people paying that kind of money for houses 0:56:58.760 --> 0:57:01.040 when we have such a homeless pademic in America. Like 0:57:01.120 --> 0:57:04.160 that's just wild to me, all right.

If I see Chris Brown or Draco, 0:57:26.760 --> 0:57:28.720 any of them people complaining about the price of gas. 0:57:28.800 --> 0:57:31.680 With all that money, they're going around gas with takis 0:57:31.720 --> 0:57:33.600 and change three dollars and change that a fact, it's 0:57:33.640 --> 0:57:37.280 five dollars.

Shout to my mom 1:02:33.800 --> 1:02:37.080 who works hard to this day. Okay, and she won't stop. 1:02:37.120 --> 1:02:39.440 She works seven days a week, So shout out to 1:02:39.560 --> 1:02:43.120 my mom's celast and tropically daddies won't stop because of 1:02:43.120 --> 1:02:45.360 puff Daddy. But never more. I mean, I hear so 1:02:45.480 --> 1:02:48.280 many stories. Stop cutting off, that's your problem, you're rude. 1:02:48.560 --> 1:02:50.480 I hear so many stories about women who work two 1:02:50.560 --> 1:02:52.760 or three jobs just to make sure that there's food 1:02:52.800 --> 1:02:54.560 on the table. Also come home and take care of 1:02:54.640 --> 1:02:56.800 the household. So shout out to you. We love and 1:02:56.800 --> 1:03:01.240 appreciate you. Okay. And yeah, just a lot of women. 1:03:01.280 --> 1:03:03.120 I feel like I'm surrounded by women all the time. 1:03:03.120 --> 1:03:05.320 Shout out to the ladies of lip Service too. And 1:03:05.520 --> 1:03:07.800 that show was started really just to celebrate women and 1:03:07.920 --> 1:03:10.000 also make sure that we had a space that was safe, 1:03:10.040 --> 1:03:12.000 but we could talk about anything we wanted to when 1:03:12.080 --> 1:03:14.360 it came to relationships, when it came to sex. There's 1:03:14.360 --> 1:03:17.200 so many different taboos and restrictions when it comes to 1:03:17.280 --> 1:03:20.120 women discussing things about ourselves. So I find that show 1:03:20.200 --> 1:03:22.800 to be really empowering and so just so much going 1:03:22.840 --> 1:03:24.440 on and we want to hear your stories as well. 1:03:24.520 --> 1:03:27.840 And actually coming up, we have two amazing women who 1:03:27.840 --> 1:03:30.680 will be joining us for International Women's Day. We have 1:03:30.800 --> 1:03:33.480 Kim Delaney. She's the director of Education and Programs at 1:03:33.520 --> 1:03:38.520 the DuSable Museum of African American History from Chicago. Also 1:03:38.800 --> 1:03:43.040 Vanne and Benefo. She's a filmmaker, a cultural consultant and historian. 1:03:43.520 --> 1:03:45.680 And they're here to talk about Equiano Stories. And I 1:03:45.720 --> 1:03:47.360 don't know if you guys have seen this, but it's 1:03:47.400 --> 1:03:50.760 basically a movie that's on Instagram. This is the second 1:03:50.800 --> 1:03:53.680 of the series that they're doing, these Steelo Stories, and 1:03:53.880 --> 1:03:58.080 so it's an award winning film studio. And basically what 1:03:58.200 --> 1:04:00.360 they're doing is they're telling a story that's based on 1:04:00.480 --> 1:04:04.240 truth about a young boy named Equiano who was kidnapped 1:04:04.240 --> 1:04:07.600 and enslaved in West Africa in seventeen fifty six. But 1:04:07.720 --> 1:04:10.240 it shows what his life was like before he was kidnapped, 1:04:10.240 --> 1:04:13.160 before he was enslaved, and you get to actually watch 1:04:13.240 --> 1:04:16.760 him tell his story through social media on Instagram. And 1:04:16.920 --> 1:04:18.720 so it's great for kids to be able to relate 1:04:18.760 --> 1:04:22.800 to these stories today. It's really it's hard to watch 1:04:22.840 --> 1:04:25.680 at certain parts but I do feel like it's really educational. 1:04:25.800 --> 1:04:28.440 So when you watch these stories on Instagram, you can 1:04:28.520 --> 1:04:33.000 follow Equiano dot stories and see everything. But it's over 1:04:33.080 --> 1:04:35.000 four hundred people were on the cast in making this 1:04:35.160 --> 1:04:38.160 and it's a multimillion dollar production, but it's done in 1:04:38.200 --> 1:04:40.280 a really special way on Instagram. So I want to 1:04:40.280 --> 1:04:43.320 celebrate these women and they're here to talk about Equianna Stories. 1:04:43.320 --> 1:04:50.520 Coming up next on The Breakfast Club. Good Breakfast Club Morning. 1:04:50.560 --> 1:04:54.640 Everybody's DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are 1:04:54.680 --> 1:04:56.960 the Breakfast Club. We have some special guests joining us today. 1:04:57.120 --> 1:04:58.920 I can't wait to hear this. We have doctor Kim 1:04:59.000 --> 1:05:12.680 Delaney and we have Yvonne were welcome, guys. Thank you, 1:05:12.920 --> 1:05:14.680 thank you for having us, Thank you for having us. 1:05:14.840 --> 1:05:18.680 Now tell us we're talking about these Acquiana squian Stories. Yeah, 1:05:18.720 --> 1:05:20.920 we've been watching it and it's it's pretty dope. How 1:05:20.960 --> 1:05:23.160 you guys have been putting it out there and creating creative. 1:05:23.440 --> 1:05:26.000 So for people that don't know, explain what these are. 1:05:26.400 --> 1:05:31.040 Aquiana Stories is part of a series of movies we're 1:05:31.160 --> 1:05:34.960 trying to make um stellar stories. So Stello Stories, the 1:05:35.000 --> 1:05:38.280 first series is a series of ten remarkable young people 1:05:38.360 --> 1:05:42.040 throughout history. So we're trying to get the history to 1:05:42.160 --> 1:05:45.760 the people. And our main target our young people, and 1:05:46.000 --> 1:05:48.240 this is the best place to get them is where 1:05:48.240 --> 1:05:51.720 they are, which is social media. That's why we tried that. 1:05:51.800 --> 1:05:54.919 We're trying this new genre of um, you know, boy 1:05:54.960 --> 1:05:57.640 with the phone, girl with the phone kind of storytelling, 1:05:58.440 --> 1:06:03.280 so that we removed that idea of a director, so 1:06:03.480 --> 1:06:05.640 you know, it's as if they're talking to you one 1:06:05.720 --> 1:06:08.680 to one. So we believe that's the easiest way to 1:06:08.960 --> 1:06:11.200 get to people and get people to learn without realizing 1:06:11.200 --> 1:06:14.880 their learning. And this idea come about because it's fascinating 1:06:14.920 --> 1:06:18.640 to me watching these Instagram stories that are really educating 1:06:18.720 --> 1:06:22.080 you but also entertaining you. So whose idea was they 1:06:22.160 --> 1:06:25.800 tell me how this whole thing happened. Um, well that 1:06:26.040 --> 1:06:29.480 was before I joined Stellar Stories because I'm an executive there. 1:06:29.600 --> 1:06:33.520 But from what the founders said, like they've been doing 1:06:33.640 --> 1:06:36.880 research thinking of ways to you know, break that chain off. 1:06:36.880 --> 1:06:39.440 If you don't read a book, you don't learn history. 1:06:39.760 --> 1:06:42.439 So I think from research and then finding out what's 1:06:42.480 --> 1:06:45.760 out there and you know kind of you know, thinking 1:06:45.840 --> 1:06:48.760 of out of the box ways to you know, make 1:06:48.920 --> 1:06:52.400 movies accessible to everyone. So that's how you know, it 1:06:52.520 --> 1:06:54.440 just came about. And then with the first film. The 1:06:54.520 --> 1:06:58.200 first film was Ever Stories, which is a story about 1:06:58.800 --> 1:07:04.200 a young girl if a Heyman, who lived during the Holocaust, 1:07:04.280 --> 1:07:07.520 and you know, we turned her diary into a movie. 1:07:07.960 --> 1:07:10.840 So for each one we make, we perfect our craft. 1:07:11.000 --> 1:07:13.880 And how long is the movie? It's eighteen minutes in 1:07:14.000 --> 1:07:17.200 total for Equano movies. Why do you put it on? 1:07:17.440 --> 1:07:20.160 I've seen it and I love the love the stories 1:07:20.200 --> 1:07:23.040 that I was watching, But why on the story because 1:07:23.040 --> 1:07:26.800 in the story, after twenty four hours it disappears. For Instagram, 1:07:26.880 --> 1:07:30.240 it doesn't disappear. Yeah, so you can set in such 1:07:30.280 --> 1:07:32.360 a way that it's there. It's like underneath, you know, 1:07:32.480 --> 1:07:37.480 underneath you end understory. Yes, so it's it's there. That's 1:07:37.520 --> 1:07:40.360 why we chose that, and we also have it on 1:07:40.520 --> 1:07:44.400 We're about to launch it tomorrow on TikTok as well, 1:07:45.080 --> 1:07:48.040 because um one of Kim's people said, oh, why why 1:07:48.120 --> 1:07:55.040 isn't it our TikTok? That's why the kids. Yeah, So 1:07:55.160 --> 1:07:57.960 what we do our Stellar Stellar Stories, we try to 1:07:58.080 --> 1:08:00.400 be reactive and we're not stuck to one kind of 1:08:00.480 --> 1:08:04.480 technology or platform where the people are. We go there 1:08:05.120 --> 1:08:07.360 now you know everything is of course, it's course right, 1:08:07.880 --> 1:08:10.280 And although you guys are doing such a great thing, 1:08:10.800 --> 1:08:13.600 it has to be paid for somehows a way. Usually 1:08:13.640 --> 1:08:15.960 when you sell it to a you know, TV show 1:08:16.120 --> 1:08:18.120 or something like that, it's commercials that pay the bills. 1:08:18.400 --> 1:08:20.519 So how were you guys, you know, getting moneys at 1:08:20.560 --> 1:08:22.960 donations to make sure that you guys can continue to 1:08:23.000 --> 1:08:27.840 tape and travel and do all those things. It's been funded. Um, Like, 1:08:28.240 --> 1:08:30.439 what we're trying to do is we're trying to get 1:08:30.479 --> 1:08:33.200 our name out there because we're not Disney, but we're 1:08:33.240 --> 1:08:37.000 trying to get to Disney levels. Okay, so the only 1:08:37.040 --> 1:08:38.880 way what we're trying to do is to get our 1:08:39.000 --> 1:08:41.960 name out there and then we start, you know from now. 1:08:42.040 --> 1:08:45.280 We're not commercializing it because i'm first and foremost. You know, 1:08:45.439 --> 1:08:49.520 the first one was a holocaust, second one about enslavement, 1:08:49.680 --> 1:08:54.040 which are very sensitive topics. So we're not commercializing that. Yeah, 1:08:54.080 --> 1:08:59.680 it's funded by a philanthropist, Yeah, philanthropist. It's a multimillion 1:08:59.720 --> 1:09:02.720 dollar project. It's a dream come true for Disavo and 1:09:02.880 --> 1:09:06.240 for myself. I'm a retired professor of African American studies. 1:09:06.560 --> 1:09:09.160 This particular story It's a story that I learned in 1:09:09.320 --> 1:09:12.920 familet and then taught in familet. So when it came 1:09:13.040 --> 1:09:15.320 to us to partner and consult on it, it was 1:09:15.400 --> 1:09:17.840 like a dream come true, especially on somebody else dollar. 1:09:18.000 --> 1:09:20.400 That's what I told them. This is the best project 1:09:20.439 --> 1:09:23.439 I ever worked on, because somebody else is paying for 1:09:24.080 --> 1:09:27.160 me to live my dream and teach African American studies 1:09:27.160 --> 1:09:29.000 to the world. So this is a true story. Let's 1:09:29.040 --> 1:09:32.760 talk about the story of Equiano. Yeah. So Equiano was 1:09:33.880 --> 1:09:38.400 a child in West Africa, right in Nigeria and Ebo Land, 1:09:38.920 --> 1:09:42.280 and he was born in seventeen forty five. In seventeen 1:09:42.360 --> 1:09:45.240 fifty six, he got kidnapped in the slavery. But what's 1:09:45.280 --> 1:09:47.560 so beautiful about this story. It was different about this 1:09:47.680 --> 1:09:51.880 story is that normally the story starts in slavery. The 1:09:52.080 --> 1:09:54.679 power of this story and why I'm on the project 1:09:54.880 --> 1:09:57.439 is because when we tell our own stories, we start 1:09:57.520 --> 1:10:00.560 with humanity. Right. So he told his own story. He 1:10:00.800 --> 1:10:03.720 was the first person to write his own slave narrative. Right. 1:10:04.000 --> 1:10:06.800 The difference in his narrative and other narratives you see 1:10:07.120 --> 1:10:09.000 is that he begins it in Africa. We see the 1:10:09.080 --> 1:10:12.800 love of his family, we see culturally specific things. And 1:10:12.920 --> 1:10:15.479 in all the years that I taught African American studies, 1:10:15.560 --> 1:10:17.920 that's that's what I loved most about the story. That 1:10:18.040 --> 1:10:21.000 it started with his family, and that's what we wanted 1:10:21.040 --> 1:10:23.400 to tease out. So this our particular telling of this 1:10:23.520 --> 1:10:27.000 story starts at age eleven and it ends at age eleven. 1:10:27.280 --> 1:10:30.280 It's just that eleven year old period of him. As 1:10:30.439 --> 1:10:33.560 Ivonne said, all of the stories Cello are attempting to 1:10:33.640 --> 1:10:37.679 tell with this particular project, They've committed to ten stories, 1:10:37.760 --> 1:10:41.599 all told through the eyes of children. So we're passing 1:10:41.680 --> 1:10:44.240 the mic to kids to tell their own stories. Ava 1:10:44.320 --> 1:10:47.160 told our own stories and now at Rihanna telling his 1:10:47.240 --> 1:10:49.120 own story. Now you get to see him with his 1:10:49.240 --> 1:10:59.120 mom at home having fun, but his friends, Donson and 1:10:59.520 --> 1:11:03.560 most of we also want to you tough today to 1:11:03.760 --> 1:11:08.439 relate to, you know, people that lived before so that 1:11:08.479 --> 1:11:10.560 they can't say, oh, they really lived normal lives, so 1:11:10.640 --> 1:11:12.840 I can't relate to that, you know, hanging out with friends, 1:11:13.160 --> 1:11:16.200 going on sleep of us and he's actually talking like 1:11:16.320 --> 1:11:19.400 he's doing his Instagram stories like I do today. But 1:11:19.560 --> 1:11:20.880 you get to see it all play out. And it 1:11:20.960 --> 1:11:23.479 was hard because I knew what was going to happen. Yeah, 1:11:23.520 --> 1:11:25.599 you know, when they're like, do not talk to those people, 1:11:25.680 --> 1:11:28.479 he told you, don't talk to those people, and yeah, 1:11:28.600 --> 1:11:33.599 so I'm like, man, you know though, that's the hard part, 1:11:33.680 --> 1:11:36.160 but the powerful part is at the end we tell 1:11:36.600 --> 1:11:39.280 how he was successful. So he was able to save 1:11:39.439 --> 1:11:42.479 enough money to buy his own freedom, right, and then 1:11:42.560 --> 1:11:45.000 he did today what we would call crowdfunding, where he 1:11:45.080 --> 1:11:47.600 went to people and gap money and self published his 1:11:47.680 --> 1:11:50.800 own book. To be popular, book had to do two runs. 1:11:50.920 --> 1:11:54.040 His book did nine. And then he used that that 1:11:54.240 --> 1:11:57.960 power that he garnered to help end slavery, which England 1:11:58.120 --> 1:12:00.920 was had the highest slave trade industry at the time. 1:12:01.280 --> 1:12:04.200 He used the power that he got from self publishing, 1:12:04.479 --> 1:12:07.680 crowd finding his book to help enslavery. All right, when 1:12:07.720 --> 1:12:09.599 we come back, we have more with doctor Kim Dulaney 1:12:09.680 --> 1:12:11.720 and Ivan Benee for when we come back, it's the 1:12:11.760 --> 1:12:14.519 Breakfast Club, Good morning. Well, where can people watch just 1:12:14.600 --> 1:12:17.240 so we can let them know how to find it? Okay, 1:12:17.400 --> 1:12:23.960 so for them, right, the full movie right now is 1:12:24.000 --> 1:12:27.960 on Instagram and it's um the handle is Equiano dot Stories, 1:12:28.080 --> 1:12:34.479 equi A and oh dot Stories. And like I mentioned before, 1:12:34.600 --> 1:12:37.160 it's going to be We're going to start releasing it 1:12:37.439 --> 1:12:41.439 on TikTok and they've agreed to put us on the 1:12:41.560 --> 1:12:45.639 Discover page. So that's the you know, where's everything's trending, 1:12:45.680 --> 1:12:50.320 where everything's happening and they're expanding. Yes, there their black Twitter. 1:12:50.439 --> 1:12:54.080 You know it was black Twitter month because and not Twitter, 1:12:54.160 --> 1:13:00.719 black TikTok. But they saw the project and so believe 1:13:00.800 --> 1:13:03.519 in the project that they're extending that. Right. It is 1:13:03.600 --> 1:13:08.120 amazing when I tell you just the story that you told, 1:13:08.200 --> 1:13:09.960 and like you said, I mean, I knew that what 1:13:10.160 --> 1:13:12.200 was about to happen, but I didn't know it was 1:13:12.280 --> 1:13:14.320 a real story. I love the way that it started. 1:13:14.479 --> 1:13:17.560 I love the fact that he was resilient overcame. Like 1:13:17.640 --> 1:13:20.120 you said, it is like something to be proud of. 1:13:20.560 --> 1:13:22.640 Thank you. You know. The other thing when the when 1:13:22.680 --> 1:13:24.680 the story was told, it's so funny to me that 1:13:25.520 --> 1:13:27.479 like when he's saying, are they going to eat us? 1:13:27.600 --> 1:13:31.040 Remember when he said so when I was teaching, when 1:13:31.080 --> 1:13:33.280 I first came across the story, you see all these 1:13:33.360 --> 1:13:37.439 horrific slave movies or slave stories that we had to read, right, 1:13:37.800 --> 1:13:40.000 and then I came across this story where he's saying, 1:13:40.200 --> 1:13:42.600 I didn't understand these people like we always washed our 1:13:42.640 --> 1:13:46.719 hands before we eat and then so it was funny 1:13:46.800 --> 1:13:48.680 to me that in a way he to not be 1:13:48.760 --> 1:13:51.679 in disrespectful, but he's staying, look, we're not the savage. 1:13:52.040 --> 1:13:55.880 I washed our hand before that. Y'all doing bad stuff 1:13:55.960 --> 1:13:58.120 to each other. I'm wondering, like, y'all gonna eat us? 1:13:58.280 --> 1:14:00.599 What's up? You know? I you know how kids talk, 1:14:00.760 --> 1:14:03.880 They just you know, say what they feel. Yeah, Um, 1:14:03.960 --> 1:14:06.240 can I just put in that during the filming of 1:14:06.479 --> 1:14:11.679 this movie, Um, we were four hundred custom crew. Wow, 1:14:11.840 --> 1:14:14.880 from all walks of life. And at every point of 1:14:15.080 --> 1:14:18.920 this the shooting of this film, everyone cried at some point. 1:14:19.840 --> 1:14:22.160 It didn't working on it. They cried walking on it. 1:14:22.439 --> 1:14:24.519 It didn't matter whether you were the snake catch up 1:14:24.520 --> 1:14:27.840 because we had snake catches. The village was built in 1:14:27.880 --> 1:14:30.320 the middle of a forest, so every morning the snake 1:14:30.360 --> 1:14:32.760 catches will come around and check for snakes and things 1:14:32.800 --> 1:14:35.479 like that. I wouldn't want that job. No, no, maybe 1:14:36.320 --> 1:14:39.680 let me add to that. In Chicago, Yeah, man, I 1:14:39.720 --> 1:14:42.120 would be like, help, you know, turn the camera off, 1:14:42.200 --> 1:14:44.160 give me a minute, you know, because it's too much. 1:14:44.439 --> 1:14:46.560 It was too much at time when we have to 1:14:46.680 --> 1:14:50.040 dig in and find a way to explain it. But 1:14:50.200 --> 1:14:53.320 we don't want you know, trauma point and re injury people. 1:14:53.400 --> 1:14:55.519 So how but we got to absorb it and then 1:14:55.640 --> 1:14:58.000 find a way to release it, you know, in a 1:14:58.439 --> 1:15:01.840 way that's respectable. But the Somber Museum in Chicago, we 1:15:02.000 --> 1:15:06.200 have a brand new exhibit that accompanies it. It's awesome. 1:15:06.360 --> 1:15:11.439 We have um pieces from our own collections. Uh. Danny 1:15:12.000 --> 1:15:15.519 Dunson is a curative of that, and Brenda and Martin 1:15:15.640 --> 1:15:19.599 built that. It's absolutely awesome. So uh, if people are 1:15:19.680 --> 1:15:22.240 in Chicago, come to Chicago, stop by and see that. 1:15:22.320 --> 1:15:25.000 It's a whole exhibits. It has what looks like a 1:15:25.080 --> 1:15:27.760 phone on the wall and shows parts of the movie 1:15:27.840 --> 1:15:30.840 on the wall in there with the artifacts that are 1:15:30.880 --> 1:15:33.479 placed in there. Um, the film is best field on 1:15:33.560 --> 1:15:36.200 the phone on the cell phone because that way you 1:15:36.280 --> 1:15:38.800 get the real power of the filming of the phone. 1:15:38.960 --> 1:15:42.240 Filias if you're in there with Brian, I'm experiencing wall, 1:15:42.439 --> 1:15:45.240 what's he's experiencing and we want to watch the whole 1:15:45.280 --> 1:15:46.800 thing at once. But it's hard to put your phone 1:15:46.800 --> 1:15:49.040 down right right. But it is true that you can, 1:15:49.160 --> 1:15:51.479 like if you have other things to do, you can 1:15:51.560 --> 1:15:57.519 do that and you can you can see that. Listen. 1:15:57.600 --> 1:16:00.360 Also his voice is it means the voice that echoes. 1:16:00.439 --> 1:16:03.599 So we want to thank you all today for passing 1:16:03.640 --> 1:16:06.280 the mic and giving us space, and you all are 1:16:06.600 --> 1:16:09.400 now helping with us to have this voice that called. 1:16:09.479 --> 1:16:11.680 All these years later again he wrote the book and 1:16:12.000 --> 1:16:16.120 published in seventeen eighty nine, and all these years later 1:16:16.280 --> 1:16:20.000 hear this story so relevant. You off like another movie 1:16:20.040 --> 1:16:22.400 out of this. Well, we can't say, but somebody had 1:16:22.520 --> 1:16:26.960 somebody an option to do. Somebody very famous, Will Smith 1:16:27.080 --> 1:16:29.160 made the trailer for us. The trailer for the movie 1:16:29.240 --> 1:16:34.080 for Us. Colin Kaepernick has commented. Offset commented that was 1:16:34.160 --> 1:16:38.880 dope to me. I'll say, yeah, that's cool. Who else 1:16:38.960 --> 1:16:41.519 we look at the result of this that the film? 1:16:42.320 --> 1:16:44.840 Oh no, no, yeah, we sort of it's working on 1:16:44.920 --> 1:16:47.760 the film. Yeah. And somebody say it'd be cool to 1:16:47.840 --> 1:16:51.760 tell this whole story. So I heard that right away, 1:16:52.120 --> 1:16:57.000 like somebody is about to make this. Stello, Stellar Stories 1:16:57.040 --> 1:17:00.680 and the Solba Museum work together on that. We're very 1:17:00.760 --> 1:17:04.200 proud of it, and again we appreciate your a's amazing. 1:17:05.840 --> 1:17:08.880 We think y'all for flying into share this with this 1:17:08.960 --> 1:17:11.000 so we can share it with our audience. Thank you, 1:17:12.000 --> 1:17:19.679 mister Breakfast Club. Good morning. This is the rumor report 1:17:19.920 --> 1:17:25.200 with Angela Yee on the Breakfast Club. All right, well, 1:17:25.320 --> 1:17:27.559 Nas has been named in the lawsuit. And that's all 1:17:27.640 --> 1:17:32.400 because he posted a picture. It was Na's tupacketing redman 1:17:32.520 --> 1:17:35.680 outside a club Amazon in nineteen ninety three, and that 1:17:35.840 --> 1:17:40.240 picture was from noted photographer Al Perreira and he posted 1:17:40.280 --> 1:17:43.639 that without permission or licensing the work. Here that picture 1:17:43.840 --> 1:17:47.679 to his personal Instagram. Yeah, I mean I heard Snoop 1:17:47.680 --> 1:17:49.559 talk about it yesterday. We have Snoops audio, so Snoop 1:17:49.560 --> 1:17:51.960 was upset about it. And think about it like this. 1:17:52.120 --> 1:17:53.800 You take a picture, somebody takes a picture of you, 1:17:53.920 --> 1:17:56.800 that's your likeness, that's your face. Post your own picture. 1:17:56.880 --> 1:17:58.920 That's an old hustle thal that they got me for 1:17:59.040 --> 1:18:02.679 that like years ago, Like I posted a picture somebody 1:18:03.320 --> 1:18:05.920 took on my Instagram page on or maybe it was 1:18:06.120 --> 1:18:09.479 Breakfast Club that posted it. Whoever posted it, they definitely 1:18:09.560 --> 1:18:13.000 hit up on Instagram. Yeah. Yeah, this is where not 1:18:13.000 --> 1:18:15.599 supposed to the picture on Instagram didn't get and he's 1:18:15.720 --> 1:18:17.519 in the picture he didn't get. Now you don't get 1:18:17.560 --> 1:18:21.960 paid for it, paid for now paid No, No, it's 1:18:22.000 --> 1:18:24.880 just on Instagram. And now even like when I heard 1:18:24.920 --> 1:18:27.479 post stuff, they won't post any pictures that they haven't 1:18:27.560 --> 1:18:30.280 either license to use or they don't have exclusive use 1:18:30.360 --> 1:18:32.880 for it, probably because when they hit me, yeah, and 1:18:33.000 --> 1:18:35.320 they had to pay for that. But it's not just them, 1:18:35.439 --> 1:18:37.559 I mean, it's a lot like they can't post anything. 1:18:37.640 --> 1:18:40.360 It's an old hustle photographer has been doing. They got 1:18:40.400 --> 1:18:43.320 to stop that, you know. But it's it's hard because 1:18:43.360 --> 1:18:44.960 they can have a picture of you, you don't have 1:18:45.080 --> 1:18:48.120 to sign anything, and they own that picture of you 1:18:48.479 --> 1:18:50.400 and then they can do whatever they want with it. 1:18:50.760 --> 1:18:53.280 And this same photographer is the same one who sued uh. 1:18:53.680 --> 1:18:55.960 I think it was Kylie and Kendall Jenner for using 1:18:56.040 --> 1:18:58.760 photographs he took of Tupac and Biggie as part of 1:18:58.800 --> 1:19:01.240 a clothing line. Now you can't do that, you know, 1:19:01.320 --> 1:19:03.479 which I understand, but I also feel like that should 1:19:03.600 --> 1:19:07.000 more go to the family too. All right now, Keisha 1:19:07.080 --> 1:19:11.400 Cole is on tv ones Uncensored, and one story she's 1:19:11.439 --> 1:19:15.320 talking about is actually being good friends with Eve, but 1:19:15.439 --> 1:19:17.680 Eve stopped hanging out with her. Here's what happened. It 1:19:17.800 --> 1:19:20.880 took a long time to learn to not put my 1:19:20.960 --> 1:19:22.920 hands on people. It was a thing that happened with 1:19:23.040 --> 1:19:25.840 Eve that you know, we're walking out and somebody grabbed 1:19:25.840 --> 1:19:28.360 her bag or something like that, and you know, I 1:19:28.479 --> 1:19:30.320 just kind of turned around to slap the girl. You know, 1:19:30.400 --> 1:19:31.760 it's like, girl, what are you doing? You know what 1:19:31.760 --> 1:19:34.240 I'm saying? Like period, like back up? You know, and 1:19:34.880 --> 1:19:38.040 Eve is really pissed off about that, like we stopped 1:19:38.080 --> 1:19:40.960 hanging out. Like she was like I can't hang with Keisha, 1:19:41.080 --> 1:19:43.439 Like she can't be slapping people. I was like, wait, 1:19:43.520 --> 1:19:46.600 I slap somebody for you the post, but I just, 1:19:47.080 --> 1:19:49.040 you know, I should have left that to security. Somebody 1:19:49.080 --> 1:19:52.360 couns paid for that, you know what I mean. I 1:19:52.400 --> 1:19:54.759 think we all learned that though. Hey man, I appreciate 1:19:54.800 --> 1:19:56.320 all my friends that are willing to put hands on 1:19:56.360 --> 1:19:58.559 people from me. All right, male and female. All right, 1:19:58.600 --> 1:20:01.320 we'll figure it out later. No, No, that was early on. 1:20:01.479 --> 1:20:03.400 Now that doesn't work like that. We'll figure it out 1:20:03.479 --> 1:20:05.160 because guess what, even if it's your security, you're still 1:20:05.160 --> 1:20:07.640 gonna get held liable. Regardless if it's your security and 1:20:07.680 --> 1:20:09.839 you walking and somebody does you something, just because security 1:20:09.880 --> 1:20:11.400 puts hands on the person, don't make you anymore or 1:20:11.439 --> 1:20:14.200 Less liecurity, trying to de escalate the problem most times. 1:20:14.320 --> 1:20:16.800 But you know, we all had that one friend that 1:20:17.040 --> 1:20:19.040 a swing first and usually get you in trouble. Got 1:20:19.080 --> 1:20:22.439 me in trouble many times in this era. Somebody reaching 1:20:22.479 --> 1:20:25.120 for a pocketbook, that's my pocketbook, and in this ere 1:20:25.120 --> 1:20:26.360 I don't know if you're trying to rob me or not. 1:20:27.040 --> 1:20:28.639 I don't have time to de escalate. I'm gonna put 1:20:28.640 --> 1:20:30.680 you in your face, slow things down. You better not 1:20:32.120 --> 1:20:34.120 get snatching that and you run off. Used to ask 1:20:34.160 --> 1:20:36.519 my person soon. All right, Now, let's talk about Skip 1:20:36.640 --> 1:20:41.680 Bayless versus Nina and Russell Westbrook. Now, Skip Bayless and 1:20:41.800 --> 1:20:44.880 Russell Westbrook clearly don't have the best relationship. Now, Skip 1:20:44.960 --> 1:20:47.640 Bayless was talking about the time when he actually had 1:20:47.720 --> 1:20:50.360 to hire security to go back to his own hometown. 1:20:50.760 --> 1:20:54.679 As we rolled toward those finals, death threats from thunder 1:20:54.760 --> 1:20:59.800 fans in my hometown of Oklahoma City, real live, hardcore 1:21:00.560 --> 1:21:04.000 death threats, I thought, legitimate death threats, but I passed 1:21:04.040 --> 1:21:07.040 them along to ESP and security, who came back to me. Yep, 1:21:07.840 --> 1:21:13.360 legit need to be taken seriously. So as we are 1:21:13.360 --> 1:21:17.760 about to venture to Oklahoma City, my hometown, they had 1:21:17.800 --> 1:21:23.559 to hire me a bodyguard. A bodyguard. Now, Russell Westbrook's wife, 1:21:23.680 --> 1:21:27.240 Nina Westbrook is saying that she and her family have 1:21:27.360 --> 1:21:30.000 been subjected to death wishes. She said, if you're a 1:21:30.040 --> 1:21:32.280 public figure, you have to be responsible for the type 1:21:32.280 --> 1:21:34.960 of example you set. Unfortunately, you must keep in mind 1:21:35.040 --> 1:21:37.960 the consequences of your behavior. When I'm being harrassed on 1:21:38.080 --> 1:21:40.960 a daily basis over basketball games and I'm having obscenities 1:21:41.000 --> 1:21:43.600 and death wishes from me and my family sent my 1:21:43.680 --> 1:21:46.720 way because you're expressing your quote truth. It's hard for 1:21:46.800 --> 1:21:48.439 me to get on board with that. And that's all 1:21:48.439 --> 1:21:51.760 because Skip Bayliss always has a lot to say about 1:21:51.840 --> 1:21:55.280 Russell Westbrook. And here's a compilation of some of those things. Well, 1:21:55.439 --> 1:21:58.560 you're stuck with Russell Westbridge. We are Skip. What you 1:21:58.600 --> 1:22:00.920 want me to do about that? I could we just 1:22:01.840 --> 1:22:06.040 display the magnitude of the ten turnovers by running through 1:22:06.120 --> 1:22:10.200 them quickly. This is Russell Westbrook on display last night, 1:22:10.320 --> 1:22:14.160 turning the basket. That's just crazy. Bron James still has 1:22:14.280 --> 1:22:17.040 one big fly in his soup, one big fly. And 1:22:17.400 --> 1:22:20.800 I first guess this. I don't think you can overcome 1:22:21.120 --> 1:22:25.479 Russell west Brick. He is completely out of control, and 1:22:25.600 --> 1:22:28.920 of course he west bricked the free throw. I'm a 1:22:29.080 --> 1:22:30.640 man that he called him a big ass fly and 1:22:30.760 --> 1:22:34.240 somebody's soup. But you know, I get what Russell was 1:22:34.280 --> 1:22:36.320 saying about his last name. He's very upset about that, 1:22:37.000 --> 1:22:38.920 but that's how fans are. They love you when you're bawling. 1:22:38.960 --> 1:22:40.680 They slandering you when you're down. And the only thing 1:22:40.760 --> 1:22:44.000 that changes the name west Brick is if Russell Westbrooks 1:22:44.040 --> 1:22:47.560 starts bawling. Well, Russell Westbrook's wife, Nina Westbrook, goes on 1:22:47.600 --> 1:22:48.800 and say, I don't do the things I do to 1:22:48.840 --> 1:22:51.160 receive attention to get clicks of a show. This is 1:22:51.200 --> 1:22:53.400 not a game to me. Basketball a game is a game. 1:22:53.479 --> 1:22:55.960 This is my life, my children's lives, in my family's life. 1:22:56.320 --> 1:23:00.040 Shaming anyone for any reason is never the answer. And 1:23:00.160 --> 1:23:02.200 my hope is that the amazing and talented players that 1:23:02.280 --> 1:23:04.640 come after him don't have to be subjected to this 1:23:04.720 --> 1:23:07.679 type of shaming, name calling, in public scrutiny for playing 1:23:07.720 --> 1:23:10.240 the game that they love. And Russell Westbrook also spoke 1:23:10.280 --> 1:23:12.720 about this in a press conference. Here's what he has 1:23:12.760 --> 1:23:16.320 to say about his wife. You know, one hundred percent 1:23:16.400 --> 1:23:19.840 stand behind my wife. And she's feeling because, um, it's 1:23:19.880 --> 1:23:23.800 not just about this year. Um. Right now, she's reached 1:23:23.800 --> 1:23:27.040 a point. Um, and my family has reached a point 1:23:27.080 --> 1:23:29.960 to where it's really weighing on them. Um. And it's 1:23:30.040 --> 1:23:34.960 very unfortunate just for me personally, because um, this is 1:23:35.040 --> 1:23:39.240 just a game. The moment it becomes where you you know, 1:23:39.400 --> 1:23:43.360 my name is getting shamed, um, it becomes an issue. 1:23:43.840 --> 1:23:46.040 The only reason the name is getting shamed though, it 1:23:46.080 --> 1:23:49.080 is because of Russell Westbrook's play. The only thing that's 1:23:49.080 --> 1:23:50.960 going to change this is your play on the court. 1:23:51.200 --> 1:23:54.559 You're not gonna stop fans from slandering you when they're 1:23:54.640 --> 1:23:57.000 upset that you're not bawling for their for their team. 1:23:57.400 --> 1:23:59.680 It's just not gonna happen. Everybody gets you think you think, 1:24:00.200 --> 1:24:02.920 let me getting into the beginning of time, Like every 1:24:03.400 --> 1:24:06.320 player in every sport gets slanted like this when they're 1:24:06.360 --> 1:24:08.680 not performing. So the only thing that's gonna change that 1:24:08.720 --> 1:24:11.720 as your play. All right, Well, that is your room 1:24:11.800 --> 1:24:14.400 of report my International Women's Day. I can't and my 1:24:14.520 --> 1:24:17.240 room of report late, but go ahead, all right, well, 1:24:17.320 --> 1:24:19.280 thank you so much. That is your Room of Report, 1:24:19.320 --> 1:24:21.920 presented by me Angela Ye on International Women's day and 1:24:22.040 --> 1:24:25.200 be disrespect you. That's why I'm good to have friends 1:24:25.240 --> 1:24:27.439 that have flapped somebody for you see. And when we 1:24:27.520 --> 1:24:30.240 come back after the NIX series, Castle will be joining us. 1:24:30.280 --> 1:24:33.080 She's a crime fighting journalist out of LA She's gonna 1:24:33.080 --> 1:24:35.439 be talking about some of the gangs within the police department, 1:24:35.600 --> 1:24:38.160 deputy gang, deputy gangs. It's the breakfast club, good morning, 1:24:38.360 --> 1:24:41.680 police gangs, police gang, deputy gang. They have names. They 1:24:41.760 --> 1:24:45.240 have all kinds of names. We've got the Executioners for one, 1:24:45.760 --> 1:24:50.439 the Caveman, the Vikings, Tasmanian Devils, Cowboys, pirates, there's a 1:24:50.520 --> 1:24:54.080 ton man. That's got to be a dangerous, dangerous job 1:24:54.120 --> 1:24:56.679 for you. They gotta hate you, oh, one hundred percent, 1:24:56.800 --> 1:24:58.280 they hate man. I mean a matter of fact. Just 1:24:58.520 --> 1:25:01.760 on Monday night, Sheriff of Los Angeles County died an 1:25:01.840 --> 1:25:04.519 hour long radio show where he just spent an hour 1:25:04.720 --> 1:25:07.320 bashing me and threatening me. That's not the first time 1:25:07.360 --> 1:25:09.919 that happened. He actually threatened to post my home address 1:25:10.400 --> 1:25:14.280 on sheriff. Yes, that is crazy. It's it's crazy. And 1:25:14.400 --> 1:25:18.360 so did people support this sheriff initially? Yes, Initially he 1:25:18.520 --> 1:25:23.200 campaigned as a progressive and he was able to get 1:25:23.240 --> 1:25:27.000 the support of the Los Angeles County Democrats. But once 1:25:27.080 --> 1:25:31.360 he got into power, he's started doing all kinds of frankly, 1:25:31.720 --> 1:25:36.000 really bad things. We've seen an increase of deputies killing 1:25:36.160 --> 1:25:39.320 civilians since our sheriff has been elected, as well as 1:25:39.320 --> 1:25:43.759 an increase of deaths inside the jails. And our sheriff 1:25:44.080 --> 1:25:47.400 he really thinks that this is okay. He said twice 1:25:47.520 --> 1:25:52.280 now that every police shooting across the United States is justified. 1:25:54.880 --> 1:25:57.120 I'm sure somebody asked why when he said that to 1:25:57.200 --> 1:26:01.000 what was his reasoning, Well, he doesn't really give a reason. 1:26:01.240 --> 1:26:03.599 He's very much of the belief that the police are 1:26:03.640 --> 1:26:06.680 just justified in anything they do, whether that's shooting an 1:26:06.760 --> 1:26:10.200 unarmed black man thirty three times like they did Frederick Holder, 1:26:10.880 --> 1:26:15.120 or sitting by while someone like Gilanni Lovett overdoses in 1:26:15.400 --> 1:26:18.560 a solitary cell in jail. And you know series, And 1:26:18.840 --> 1:26:22.080 just to bring it back to how series actually came up, 1:26:22.479 --> 1:26:24.600 we were talking about one of our listeners called in 1:26:24.680 --> 1:26:26.439 about Fedwick Holder and it was a case that we 1:26:26.560 --> 1:26:29.000 hadn't even heard about, which is a shame because there's 1:26:29.040 --> 1:26:31.519 so many things that happened that go under the radar, 1:26:31.640 --> 1:26:33.800 because there's so many things that happen, and I don't 1:26:33.800 --> 1:26:36.080 want us to ever get numb to what goes on. 1:26:36.320 --> 1:26:38.080 But like you said, he was an unarmed black man 1:26:38.600 --> 1:26:40.960 on the highway. He was shot thirty three times. They 1:26:41.000 --> 1:26:43.720 shot at him thirty three times. He was hit seventeen 1:26:43.840 --> 1:26:46.880 times by gunfire. He was shot almost that point blank 1:26:47.040 --> 1:26:49.920 range with an assault rifle. There are pictures of his 1:26:50.040 --> 1:26:53.080 autopsy that you can see, and they have actually shot 1:26:53.200 --> 1:26:56.160 his mouth off. The deputies that did this to him 1:26:56.280 --> 1:26:59.880 are still on patrol. They have not been disciplined at all. 1:27:00.360 --> 1:27:02.400 And that's the case in so many of these shootings. 1:27:02.479 --> 1:27:04.799 Just this year. It's only March, right, the Los Angeles 1:27:04.840 --> 1:27:08.519 County Sheriff's Department has already killed four civilians this year. 1:27:08.760 --> 1:27:10.160 I was going to ask what got you into this? 1:27:10.280 --> 1:27:12.160 Was it something that was affected your family or were 1:27:12.160 --> 1:27:14.120 you tied to seeing something with television? What got you 1:27:14.400 --> 1:27:16.680 working so hard on this? Well, I grew up in 1:27:16.800 --> 1:27:20.720 Los Angeles. I've always known about sheriff's gangs growing up. 1:27:20.760 --> 1:27:24.080 I would hear it from my friends, my teachers, my mom. 1:27:24.439 --> 1:27:27.080 They would always tell me, YO, be careful because these 1:27:27.160 --> 1:27:29.400 police out here are in gangs. Watch out for the 1:27:29.479 --> 1:27:32.040 white ones with the bald heads. Those are probably Vikings. 1:27:32.320 --> 1:27:35.360 And it was something that always interested me. And I've 1:27:35.360 --> 1:27:37.000 always been a bit of a nerde you know. I 1:27:37.080 --> 1:27:40.080 go to the library. I love to read books, so yeah, 1:27:40.240 --> 1:27:42.240 you know, so I'd always be going and trying to 1:27:42.320 --> 1:27:44.840 find out who these gangs are, what are they doing, 1:27:44.920 --> 1:27:47.880 and what do they want? But there really wasn't anything there. 1:27:47.960 --> 1:27:50.880 There weren't too many newspaper articles, and there definitely wasn't 1:27:50.880 --> 1:27:53.880 any books. So fast forward to twenty twenty. I was 1:27:53.920 --> 1:27:56.960 working at a local radio station and I was out 1:27:57.040 --> 1:27:59.519 in the streets covering the protest that had erupted and 1:27:59.600 --> 1:28:02.639 respond to the murder of George Floyd. And while doing 1:28:02.720 --> 1:28:04.960 my job, I was actually shot with a less lethal 1:28:05.120 --> 1:28:09.479 munition by a police officer. Really yeah, rubber bullet straight 1:28:09.600 --> 1:28:12.280 on my arm and the resulting injuries. I fell down 1:28:12.320 --> 1:28:14.320 and hurt myself pretty bad and I had to be 1:28:14.400 --> 1:28:16.920 on bedrest for six months. I couldn't get up, I 1:28:16.960 --> 1:28:19.640 couldn't walk, I was in a cast on crushes. But 1:28:19.760 --> 1:28:21.880 I didn't want to just sit back and rest because 1:28:21.960 --> 1:28:23.720 we were in a moment, and I think we're still 1:28:23.880 --> 1:28:26.360 very much in this moment. I wanted to make sure 1:28:26.400 --> 1:28:31.440 that I was doing something to contribute and to raise awareness. 1:28:31.760 --> 1:28:34.120 So I thought to myself, you know what, I should 1:28:34.160 --> 1:28:37.080 start researching those deputy gangs. A couple of days after 1:28:37.240 --> 1:28:39.880 I got shot, an eighteen year old by the name 1:28:39.920 --> 1:28:44.599 of Andres Guardado was killed by two alleged deputy gang 1:28:44.680 --> 1:28:47.439 members in the gang called the Executioners, And it came 1:28:47.479 --> 1:28:50.080 out pretty quickly that the two deputies that shot him 1:28:50.160 --> 1:28:52.360 were alleged gang members trying to get into the gang, 1:28:52.400 --> 1:28:53.960 because that's how you get in. You get in by 1:28:54.080 --> 1:28:57.000 killing a civilian. So a cop gets into a gang, 1:28:57.520 --> 1:29:01.240 a cap gang allegedly by killing a billion that's correct. Wow, 1:29:01.320 --> 1:29:04.120 this is so interesting to me because people already look 1:29:04.160 --> 1:29:06.880 at the police as a gang like in general, right, 1:29:06.960 --> 1:29:10.720 but to note that there's subsidiaries inside of the police force. 1:29:10.800 --> 1:29:12.960 What do the actual police say about this when y'all 1:29:13.000 --> 1:29:15.240 bring this to the police's attention and you say there's 1:29:15.280 --> 1:29:18.120 deputy gangs, what did they say? Well, the sheriff of 1:29:18.200 --> 1:29:20.840 Los Angeles County, he said multiple times that I made 1:29:20.880 --> 1:29:23.240 this all up just to get rich. I have not 1:29:23.400 --> 1:29:25.559 gotten rich off of this. If anything, this has put 1:29:25.600 --> 1:29:29.280 a target on my back. Yeah, and the benefit right, 1:29:29.640 --> 1:29:32.800 really for you personally, No, I mean that's that's I mean, 1:29:33.520 --> 1:29:36.960 Eric Alexander, you come highly recommended. You know. She was like, 1:29:37.080 --> 1:29:39.040 you gotta have Shariso on the show. But she was 1:29:39.080 --> 1:29:42.519 saying because they want to increase the profile, because you 1:29:42.600 --> 1:29:45.400 haven't become a target. I have. Yes, the sheriff has 1:29:45.479 --> 1:29:49.240 spoken about me multiple times in many press conferences. They 1:29:49.320 --> 1:29:51.960 also attempted to arrest me at a press conference that 1:29:52.040 --> 1:29:55.599 I attended. Um just two weeks after I finished publishing 1:29:56.000 --> 1:29:58.680 the series detailing the Deputy Gangs, I went to a 1:29:58.760 --> 1:30:02.080 press conference hosted by the Sheriff's apartment and I was 1:30:02.120 --> 1:30:05.000 there probably for ten minutes, and I was surrounded by sheriffs. 1:30:05.040 --> 1:30:07.200 They tried to drag me behind the Hall of Justice 1:30:07.439 --> 1:30:10.760 and I don't know what what what was the charge? Well, 1:30:10.840 --> 1:30:12.840 they didn't say nothing. Do you think that the more 1:30:12.880 --> 1:30:15.720 you put your face I did, the safer and I'm 1:30:15.760 --> 1:30:18.400 putting safer and quotated to safer, you become I think so, 1:30:18.840 --> 1:30:21.719 I think keeping the profile high and you know, letting 1:30:21.760 --> 1:30:23.760 them know that I'm going to keep talking about this. 1:30:24.040 --> 1:30:26.559 Nothing is gonna shut me up. We'll keep me safe. 1:30:26.760 --> 1:30:29.080 Now for people who want to read about this you did? 1:30:29.400 --> 1:30:33.800 Is it a five part? Fifteen part? It's long, but 1:30:34.439 --> 1:30:37.000 it's worth the read, and it just goes to show 1:30:37.360 --> 1:30:39.519 that this has been going on for so long. These 1:30:39.600 --> 1:30:41.920 deputy gangs have been around in Los Angeles for at 1:30:42.040 --> 1:30:45.040 least fifty years, and I'm the first person to chronicle 1:30:45.160 --> 1:30:47.120 this history. This is stuff that they don't want you 1:30:47.240 --> 1:30:49.920 to know, but this is stuff that everyone in Los 1:30:49.960 --> 1:30:52.600 Angeles and even outside of Los Angeles you need to know, 1:30:53.000 --> 1:30:56.000 because these deputy gangs, they don't play. We're still talking 1:30:56.040 --> 1:30:58.600 with Cerre's Castle. She's a crown fighting journalist out of 1:30:58.720 --> 1:31:01.040 LA She's telling us about the games inside the police 1:31:01.040 --> 1:31:06.760 department and we'll talk to him when we come back. 1:31:06.920 --> 1:31:10.320 Is the Breakfast Club, Good morning morning, everybody is DJ 1:31:10.840 --> 1:31:14.120 Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy We are to Breakfast Club. 1:31:14.120 --> 1:31:17.000 We're still talking with Sas Castle. She's a crime fighting 1:31:17.120 --> 1:31:22.120 journalist and we were just asking her about how difficult 1:31:22.160 --> 1:31:25.040 it was to talk to members about the police gang. Yeah, 1:31:25.280 --> 1:31:27.120 what do people want to talk on the record? Were 1:31:27.120 --> 1:31:29.639 they willing to do that or were they very nervous 1:31:29.880 --> 1:31:32.880 off the record? Yeah, So I got a couple of 1:31:33.240 --> 1:31:36.040 deputies that spoke to me off the record or on 1:31:36.240 --> 1:31:38.720 deep background. But for the most part, yeah, they are. 1:31:38.880 --> 1:31:40.519 Most of them are really scared to go on the 1:31:40.600 --> 1:31:44.920 record because they get threatened. They get death threats about 1:31:44.920 --> 1:31:47.400 other police officers, other police officers that want to speak 1:31:47.439 --> 1:31:49.760 out about what these deputy gangs are doing and the 1:31:49.840 --> 1:31:52.400 control that they have in the department. They get targeted too. 1:31:52.880 --> 1:31:55.840 One of my sources had a headless rat placed on 1:31:56.000 --> 1:32:00.320 his car. Yeah, Now, what's the what proofed do you have? 1:32:00.640 --> 1:32:03.920 Charis that these deputy gangs exist? You know what I mean? 1:32:04.080 --> 1:32:06.880 Are you when you make claims that they kill a 1:32:06.920 --> 1:32:08.880 civilian to get into the game as a big claim? 1:32:09.240 --> 1:32:11.320 So what proof do you do you have? Well, I've 1:32:11.360 --> 1:32:14.800 got photos of hundreds of tattoos that these deputy gang 1:32:14.840 --> 1:32:18.400 members have. They're all numbered, they have different designs, and 1:32:19.080 --> 1:32:22.600 as their police career goes on and they hurt or 1:32:23.280 --> 1:32:25.920 kill more civilians, you can see in the photos how 1:32:25.960 --> 1:32:28.360 the tattoo changes. Maybe a bullet is added to the 1:32:28.479 --> 1:32:31.080 chamber of a gun that the skeleton of the executioner 1:32:31.200 --> 1:32:34.160 is holding. Also, there's a lot of litigation, right, That's 1:32:34.160 --> 1:32:36.519 how I found out all this stuff. Los Angeles County 1:32:36.560 --> 1:32:40.479 actually tracks every case that is brought to the county 1:32:41.320 --> 1:32:45.280 that mentions deputy gangs. So, for example, Undress Guardato his 1:32:45.439 --> 1:32:49.400 family brought a claim saying, yo, your deputy gangs, you know, 1:32:49.560 --> 1:32:53.120 killed our son, and the county actually tracks that. They 1:32:53.160 --> 1:32:56.200 have a spreadsheet of all these cases. It's like sixty 1:32:56.560 --> 1:33:00.439 so they know that this is happening, but no meaningful 1:33:00.439 --> 1:33:03.160 action or policy change has been made. But they have 1:33:03.240 --> 1:33:08.000 been lost. Tamataz this quest about one hundred million dollars 1:33:08.120 --> 1:33:10.240 and that doesn't come out of the sheriff's department either. 1:33:10.479 --> 1:33:13.960 That comes from taxpayers. Right, So they're just white gangs 1:33:14.040 --> 1:33:16.240 or the black gangs or the Mexican or the Latino 1:33:16.280 --> 1:33:19.479 or like or is it just primary white gangs? So 1:33:19.880 --> 1:33:24.440 all of the gangs have white supremacist themes and underleanings. 1:33:24.680 --> 1:33:29.560 Definitely they are. There are some only Latino gangs. For 1:33:29.680 --> 1:33:31.840 the most part, they do not allow black people to join. 1:33:31.920 --> 1:33:34.080 They do not allow women to join. There are some 1:33:34.240 --> 1:33:37.760 exceptions and what they'll do if you're black, Um, maybe 1:33:37.800 --> 1:33:40.360 they'll change the tattoo a little bit. For example, the Vikings, 1:33:40.439 --> 1:33:42.360 they had a Viking tattoo, but if you were black, 1:33:42.680 --> 1:33:45.000 instead of two horns, pointing up on the helmet, they 1:33:45.040 --> 1:33:47.760 would have one horn pointing down. Not really sure what 1:33:47.880 --> 1:33:52.479 that means, but there you go. The La County Sheriff 1:33:52.520 --> 1:33:55.320 Alex Villa in the wave. Yes, he's facing calls for 1:33:55.439 --> 1:34:00.160 impeachment from community organizations. Yes, what are the reasons? Well, well, 1:34:00.439 --> 1:34:03.760 he doesn't think anything is wrong with this. He has 1:34:03.800 --> 1:34:06.719 said both that deputy gangs don't exist, and he also 1:34:06.840 --> 1:34:09.280 says that he's the only person that has done anything 1:34:09.320 --> 1:34:14.360 about deputy gangs. Which one is it? Exactly? So that's 1:34:14.439 --> 1:34:17.160 that's it can't be the only reason they're impeaching them though, right, Yeah, 1:34:17.240 --> 1:34:19.680 well it's a big braason. Okay, okay, um, you know 1:34:20.000 --> 1:34:24.719 he has not He supports deputies that you know, kill people, 1:34:24.960 --> 1:34:27.120 and as I mentioned at the top, we've seen a 1:34:27.479 --> 1:34:31.519 huge increase in civilians that are killed. Um, and he 1:34:32.560 --> 1:34:35.360 is fine with that. He supports these deputies. He doesn't 1:34:35.400 --> 1:34:37.800 discipline them, He allows them to continue to be on 1:34:37.920 --> 1:34:40.560 the street. If they do impeach to sheriff, who do 1:34:40.600 --> 1:34:43.280 you think is qualified to replace him and clean up 1:34:43.280 --> 1:34:45.000 such a corrupt system. I don't even know if that's 1:34:45.640 --> 1:34:47.800 a fire everybody. I don't know. If I don't know 1:34:47.840 --> 1:34:49.559 if that system can ever be cleaned up, I think 1:34:49.560 --> 1:34:51.400 it needs to be dismantled with. I don't people always 1:34:51.400 --> 1:34:53.639 say there's good cops, right, and there's just a few 1:34:53.760 --> 1:34:56.960 bad apples. But even with quote good cops, can you 1:34:57.040 --> 1:34:59.880 even exist within that system? No? Not in this system. 1:35:00.040 --> 1:35:02.760 I mean I've talked to a few good cops and 1:35:03.000 --> 1:35:05.479 they've been pushed out because they tried to do the 1:35:05.600 --> 1:35:08.559 right thing. There somebody you think could replace them. Well, 1:35:09.160 --> 1:35:11.160 that's the interesting thing. We are in an election year 1:35:11.200 --> 1:35:14.400 this year in Los Angeles. We do have several candidates running. 1:35:15.200 --> 1:35:18.120 Interesting point is that more than half of the candidates 1:35:18.240 --> 1:35:21.960 that have entered the field are also affiliated with deputy gangs. Y, 1:35:22.400 --> 1:35:25.120 how do you get an internal investigation going? Because that's 1:35:25.160 --> 1:35:28.559 never happened either. You said it has not. No, it's 1:35:29.320 --> 1:35:32.240 And that's a great question. Angela Maxine Waters has sent 1:35:32.400 --> 1:35:36.240 multiple letters to the Department of Justice requesting a federal 1:35:36.360 --> 1:35:39.599 probe into this. We haven't heard anything back yet. Um, 1:35:39.960 --> 1:35:44.040 I'm steady hoping that the Fed show up because an emergency. 1:35:44.280 --> 1:35:47.479 It is an emergency. People are dying out here in 1:35:48.000 --> 1:35:54.320 incredibly violent ways. The Feds could have internal gangs. You 1:35:54.400 --> 1:35:56.840 know what, I mean like, yeah, I mean that's a 1:35:56.880 --> 1:36:00.320 good point. The Feds did come and investigate the riff's 1:36:00.320 --> 1:36:04.439 apartment in twenty thirteen, I believe, and that actually resulted 1:36:04.560 --> 1:36:07.040 in our then sheriff and under sheriff, who is the 1:36:07.160 --> 1:36:10.800 number two going to federal prison? Who had back? Who 1:36:10.840 --> 1:36:12.880 who's the one that supports you and make sure that 1:36:12.960 --> 1:36:14.760 you're okay and at LA while you're running around and 1:36:14.840 --> 1:36:18.160 you're doing what's right. I have a great community, m 1:36:19.120 --> 1:36:20.920 Maxie Waters. I don't know if that was part of yet. Yeah, 1:36:21.160 --> 1:36:26.640 Maxie Waters is a great supporter. Ye gang. I'm not affiliated, 1:36:28.160 --> 1:36:30.920 but I have a good community. Um. You know, the 1:36:31.080 --> 1:36:35.000 families that have unfortunately lost loved ones at the hands 1:36:35.160 --> 1:36:38.559 of these deputy gangs are really great to me. They're 1:36:38.600 --> 1:36:41.680 really thankful that I'm out here telling their stories. Um. 1:36:41.800 --> 1:36:44.200 I also want to shout out my girlfriend. She takes 1:36:44.680 --> 1:36:47.280 great care of me and she's been my rock through 1:36:47.360 --> 1:36:49.960 all of this. And yeah, I mean I really couldn't 1:36:50.000 --> 1:36:52.760 do it without the community trusting me and you know, 1:36:52.920 --> 1:36:55.080 supporting me through this because it is tough. Now, how 1:36:55.120 --> 1:36:57.479 can people support you and make sure that they support 1:36:57.560 --> 1:37:00.280 what you're doing or even help if they can't yeah, 1:37:00.280 --> 1:37:03.360 I appreciate you asking. I would want everyone to check 1:37:03.400 --> 1:37:06.920 out the series. It's available at lasdgangs dot com. We 1:37:07.000 --> 1:37:09.240 also have a database on there where you can actually 1:37:09.360 --> 1:37:11.920 look up and see all of the police, all of 1:37:11.960 --> 1:37:14.840 the sheriff's deputies. I should say that I have identified 1:37:14.960 --> 1:37:18.320 that are either full fledged members in these gangs or associates. 1:37:18.760 --> 1:37:21.120 You can follow me on Twitter, I'm at series Castle, 1:37:21.200 --> 1:37:24.120 I'm on Instagram, at your majesty. I would also implore 1:37:24.479 --> 1:37:28.719 all of the listeners to learn about qualified immunity because 1:37:30.479 --> 1:37:32.920 exactly that's what makes it so that when a police 1:37:32.920 --> 1:37:36.000 officer kills your loved one, they aren't responsible, you can't 1:37:36.120 --> 1:37:39.160 personally sue them or get you know, damages. And we 1:37:39.280 --> 1:37:41.479 also have to do something about the police officer Bill 1:37:41.520 --> 1:37:44.400 of Rights that makes it so when a police officer 1:37:44.520 --> 1:37:46.720 does something that could be your crime, they get to 1:37:46.840 --> 1:37:50.479 review all the evidence with the union representative and a 1:37:50.600 --> 1:37:53.800 lawyer while they're at work, and if the charges aren't 1:37:53.840 --> 1:37:58.920 filed in a year, they get to walk free. Yeah. Well, yeah, 1:37:59.160 --> 1:38:01.800 them actually take all this information. And I'm going to 1:38:01.840 --> 1:38:06.360 be doing a podcast on iHeartRadio called Traditional Violence. It's 1:38:06.400 --> 1:38:09.880 going to be all about these deputy gangs and going 1:38:09.960 --> 1:38:12.400 into a lot more detail.
