Speaker 1: The gut piece to the planet is Tuesday. Good morning, Yes,
Speaker 1: it's Tuesday. What's happening? How everybody feel like that? Today
Speaker 1: I'm broadcasting from New Hampshire. I made it to New Hampshire.
Speaker 1: You're gonna get a passport. I'm gonna get my passport.
Speaker 1: This was the only assport office and opening the whole US.
Speaker 1: It was Honolulu, Puerto Rico in New Hampshire. You said,
Speaker 1: the only passport place open at if you get an appointment. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it was the only one. So it was supposed to
Speaker 1: be a three and a half hour drive from New
Speaker 1: York from Jersey. I should say it took seven and
Speaker 1: a half hours because of a storm that passed through
Speaker 1: a rush hour traffic, so I was on the road
Speaker 1: all day. This is the longest I drove since college. No,
Speaker 1: it sounds like you needed a passport to get to
Speaker 1: New Hampshire. That's what it sounded like. That's what it
Speaker 1: felt like yesterday. Goodness, gracious, well, good, I'm glad that
Speaker 1: you are getting your life situating. Ye how was your
Speaker 1: day yesterday? My day was good. I was in meetings
Speaker 1: all day and then I went home. I fell asleep
Speaker 1: so early. I felt, let's see, at eight o'clock. But
Speaker 1: then I woke up back to act like that's a problem, man.
Speaker 1: But then I've been up since two. Why because I
Speaker 1: fell at sleep at eight o'clock. If I falls to
Speaker 1: eight o'clock, I'm waking up at four o'clock the same
Speaker 1: time I get up every morning. I really could only
Speaker 1: sleep for like five or six hours. And what's crazy
Speaker 1: is my Apple watch tells me all the time. Now,
Speaker 1: you're supposed to be in bad around eight twenty. Never
Speaker 1: quite make it to bed at a twenty. But boy,
Speaker 1: if I could Oh, oh my god, Oh god, God
Speaker 1: would be so I mean, God is good all the time,
Speaker 1: but lord, that would be amazing. Man. I'm start going
Speaker 1: to bed when the kids go to sleep. That's what
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start doing soon. It's after the kids take
Speaker 1: a bath and the kids go to sleep around ate something.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start taking my bath to sleep because there's
Speaker 1: really nothing on TV that I have to watch. What
Speaker 1: a game is on again the last night tonight tonight.
Speaker 1: The game is on tonight, so you're gonna watch that.
Speaker 1: And then I don't know if you're an Ozark fan
Speaker 1: or you watch My Wife I did. I saw they
Speaker 1: had the whole Naziomatic album playing Killer Mike is in
Speaker 1: this season. But once again, with that, you can watch
Speaker 1: that on screaming services anytime you want to, the appointment television.
Speaker 1: So it's really true, really nothing on TV. You happened.
Speaker 1: But I'm not used to falling to sleep that early. Clearly, Well,
Speaker 1: the nighttime it's the only time you really get because
Speaker 1: usually throughout the day we always run in, we got
Speaker 1: the kids, there's always something to do. So nighttime is
Speaker 1: when the quiet, when the house is only quiet. That's
Speaker 1: the only time tell you one thing. But the older
Speaker 1: you get, the more sleep you want. Okay, it's a struggle.
Speaker 1: And I paid five dollars for gas yesterday. You know
Speaker 1: they're talking about that's gonna be white spread for everybody.
Speaker 1: The gas prices are up twenty seven percent. Lord, have mercy.
Speaker 1: I was like, why is this so expensive? My car
Speaker 1: was on e any more bad news? Any more bad
Speaker 1: news you got for frontag the news you didn't sleep
Speaker 1: till that last night? She had page five hours. I
Speaker 1: slept last night. I just woke up super early. It
Speaker 1: is gracious, so does hurt. Front page news is next. Yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: what we're talking about. We are going to talk about
Speaker 1: three Louisiana juveniles and the guard who allegedly helped them escape.
Speaker 1: All right, we'll get into all that when we come back.
Speaker 1: Get your ass up. It's the breakfast club of the
Speaker 1: morning Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlemagne the guy.
Speaker 1: We are to breakfast club. Let's getting some front page
Speaker 1: news now. Tonight. The Celtics take on the Heat at
Speaker 1: eight thirty p m. So that's game one. Not what
Speaker 1: else we get? Easy, Well, let's talk about the racist
Speaker 1: attack at the supermarket, the Top supermarket in Buffalo by
Speaker 1: the and I still have to say alleged gunman, but
Speaker 1: Peyton as Gendern because you have to until legal purposes
Speaker 1: so I don't get sued and we don't get sued.
Speaker 1: He is pleading not guilty, but I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: we've seen it still for legal purposes and he's fleading
Speaker 1: not guilty. All right. Well, the suspect, according to his post,
Speaker 1: and you know he was posting on discord, he visited
Speaker 1: the Tops Friendly Market three times on March eighth to
Speaker 1: survey the layout as well as at the times of
Speaker 1: the day when they were the most customers. He planned
Speaker 1: his attack for mid March, but then he delayed the
Speaker 1: date several times. And as you know, he was taken
Speaker 1: into custody in the immediate aftermath, and he's under suicide
Speaker 1: watch right now after pleading not guilty to a first
Speaker 1: degree murder charge. So they do have all this information
Speaker 1: based on his post. They said the attack would have
Speaker 1: continued elsewhere had he not been stopped. He had other
Speaker 1: target locations down the street. Authorities also found another rifle
Speaker 1: and a shotgun in his vehicle. They also had writings
Speaker 1: seen on his firearms. They said they attained a photo
Speaker 1: of two of the firearms inside his vehicle that were
Speaker 1: not used in the shooting, and phrases like white lives matter,
Speaker 1: as well as what appears to be the name of
Speaker 1: a victim of a crime committed by a black suspect. Now,
Speaker 1: they said that family has not visited him while he
Speaker 1: is in jail. Investigators have spoken to the suspects family.
Speaker 1: They are distraught and sickened by what happened. He's met
Speaker 1: with his legal team while in custody, but there have
Speaker 1: been no family request to visit him. Federal charges may
Speaker 1: apply in the shooting. Prosecutors are working to bring charges
Speaker 1: against him in the coming days, according to law enforcement officials,
Speaker 1: and that would be in addition to state charges as well.
Speaker 1: So Joe Biden and First Lady Joe Biden are scheduled
Speaker 1: to be in Buffalo today to meet with the families
Speaker 1: of the shooting victims, first responders, and community leaders. It's sad, man,
Speaker 1: because there is no kure for racism, there's no kure
Speaker 1: for biggertreat There's absolutely nothing you can do to prevent
Speaker 1: those things from happening. Only thing we can do is
Speaker 1: protect ourselves. At all times. And that's why I scrusted
Speaker 1: if you black in America owning a legal firearms a
Speaker 1: former self kid, get you concealed carry permit. Just do
Speaker 1: what you gotta do to protect yourself because this country won't. Well.
Speaker 1: They said yesterday they might be passing legislation that allows
Speaker 1: you to carry in New York. Now, in New Jersey
Speaker 1: Sena yesterday Eric Adams was saying, that's a bad thing.
Speaker 1: The man in New York was seenea, that's a very
Speaker 1: bad thing. But they might be passing legislation. I guess
Speaker 1: in the next couple of days in the Supreme Court
Speaker 1: that I will allow you to carry all Right now,
Speaker 1: three juveniles in Louisiana who escaped from a youth center
Speaker 1: and the guard who helped them escape the facility have
Speaker 1: been arrested. They were in Houston, so they actually got
Speaker 1: out around three am Saturday, and a warrant for their
Speaker 1: arrest was issued shortly after. According to authority, seventeen year
Speaker 1: old Taiwana Lafitte, seventeen year old Jeremiah Durham, and fifteen
Speaker 1: year old Navaria Lane were driven out of the facility
Speaker 1: by a twenty one year old guard by the name
Speaker 1: of Victory Tune. They would track down the next day
Speaker 1: at a motel in Houston. After police found her vehicle,
Speaker 1: they waited for the four of them to return and
Speaker 1: arrested them. They said an unnamed relative had driven them
Speaker 1: there and they were detained without incidents. So one of
Speaker 1: them was serving time for attempted first degree murder, another
Speaker 1: for armed ribery, and another one for a second degree murder.
Speaker 1: There are said to be extradited to Louisiana and my
Speaker 1: faces series of additional charges for their action. In the meantime,
Speaker 1: Victoria Tune, who's the one that actually drove them out
Speaker 1: of the facility, will be booked on three counts of
Speaker 1: accessory to simple escape. I saw that story. I guarantee
Speaker 1: that girl, Victory've been trying to be down since grade school,
Speaker 1: you know, the white girl who wanted to be cool,
Speaker 1: wanted to be down, that was always down to do
Speaker 1: the wrong thing on behalf of the people she was
Speaker 1: trying to be cool with. I've seen this story before
Speaker 1: and where she thought she was going after she did that,
Speaker 1: back to work? I don't, well, definitely not that work
Speaker 1: and then go back to work exactly. Nobody thought that
Speaker 1: went through your front page. You did not live up

Speaker 1: and since we're talking about graduating, we'll tell you what.
Speaker 1: Superstar just graduated from college at the age of thirty four.
Speaker 1: All right, we'll get into that next. Keep a lock.
Speaker 1: This to Breakfast club. Good morning, The Breakfast Club's filling
Speaker 1: the team. This is the rumor report with Angela Yee
Speaker 1: on the Breakfast Club. All right. Well, a man who
Speaker 1: was involved in the drug deal that led to mac
Speaker 1: Miller's overdose in twenty eighteen has been sentenced to more
Speaker 1: than seventeen years in prison, and that is for his
Speaker 1: role in selling fentanales pills to Macmiller. Stephen Andrew Walter.
Speaker 1: He's forty eight years old. He pleaded guilty to one
Speaker 1: count of distribution of fentanal in November of twenty twenty one.
Speaker 1: Prosecuted it had asked the judge to sentence him to
Speaker 1: two hundred and four months in prison since he initially
Speaker 1: took the plea deal, but he was still dealing even
Speaker 1: after he took that plea back in twenty twenty one.
Speaker 1: So the judge gave him the extra six months at
Speaker 1: the sentencing. Imagine, you killed somebody and now you're still
Speaker 1: out here in the middle of taking a plea deal
Speaker 1: and you're still out here dealing drugs. Now, let me
Speaker 1: ask you a question. Did he know it was fed
Speaker 1: in the drugs or did he not know? I have
Speaker 1: no idea. Well, he said he was truly remorseful. He said,
Speaker 1: I'm not that type of person who wants to hurt anybody.
Speaker 1: That's not me. But on the paperwork where it says
Speaker 1: that I continued to conduct in that kind of behavior,
Speaker 1: I knew that there was death. That's not the truth,
Speaker 1: your honor. He says that he only delivered the pills,
Speaker 1: and you know, he thought that it was going to
Speaker 1: be ingested by I guess somebody else. I don't know.
Speaker 1: The mindset is. The mindset is interesting to me because
Speaker 1: he said he never wants to hurt anybody, But you're
Speaker 1: sell drugs. Drugs. Drugs hurt people, right, all right. So
Speaker 1: he's one of three people who were charging the death
Speaker 1: of mac Miller and Michael kay Williams. His nephew is
Speaker 1: speaking out and he was on Red Table Talk. He'll
Speaker 1: be actually the episode airs tomorrow. So this is the
Speaker 1: first time that his nephew, dominiqu DuPont talks about the
Speaker 1: devastating moment when he found his uncle Michael kay William's body.
Speaker 1: And here is a clip that has been shared ahead
Speaker 1: of tomorrow's episode. I was shopping with my wife. Mike
Speaker 1: had some work to do the next day, and I
Speaker 1: had reached out to him the night before, and I
Speaker 1: was concerned that I had not heard from him. We
Speaker 1: made the decision go to his house and I went upstairs,
Speaker 1: opened up his door and it was quiet. Michael always
Speaker 1: played music, and I observed him deceased. Immediately called nine
Speaker 1: on one. They said, listen, you know, do you want
Speaker 1: to start some compressions And I said, I'm telling you,
Speaker 1: he's deceased. He's gone. He's cold. Yeah, man, I can't
Speaker 1: even imagine. All right. Well, on that episode, Kay Quigley
Speaker 1: is also on that she's a comedian and she was
Speaker 1: the lone survivor of a fetnoe poisoning that killed three
Speaker 1: of her friends, including the comedian Fuquan Johnson. And so
Speaker 1: again that episode will stream tomorrow on Facebook at noon.

Speaker 1: had to see it through official Davidson College alum Mama,
Speaker 1: we made it. And of course his wife I used to.
Speaker 1: Curry shared a very sweet message on her stories as well.
Speaker 1: She said, probably would be an understatement. Congratulations to my love.

Speaker 1: eight years ago. The lawsuit was filed by twenty nine
Speaker 1: year old Xavier Ingram. Now it's been years of litigation.
Speaker 1: There was a mischild that was declared and then a
Speaker 1: jury became deadlocked on whether the officers were responsible for
Speaker 1: his injuries, but when you hear this whole story, you're
Speaker 1: gonna be like, this is disgusting. So the lawsuit accuses
Speaker 1: the officer of using unnecessary, unjustified, excessive force and violating
Speaker 1: Ingram's right to be free of unlawful and a reasonable
Speaker 1: seizure as protected under the Constitution. Now, although all parties
Speaker 1: agreed to the settlement, attorneys for the county, the police department,
Speaker 1: and the officers involved said the settlement was a business
Speaker 1: decision spear headed by the insurance Center. This all occurred
Speaker 1: on June twelve, twenty fourteen. That's when Ingram, who was
Speaker 1: a resident of Canon County, encountered three county police officers
Speaker 1: who are on foot patrol. They were doing a sweep
Speaker 1: of an apartment complex. He said he encountered the officers
Speaker 1: as he was walking to a liquor store where he
Speaker 1: met up with a friend. When he exited the store,
Speaker 1: he was approached by the cops. He ran into the
Speaker 1: parking lot and that's when he says they ran out
Speaker 1: into the street and pursued him. He surrendered, laying on
Speaker 1: the ground with his hands in front of him. The
Speaker 1: two officers jumped on him and handcuffed him. He did
Speaker 1: not resist, but they are accused of stomping on the
Speaker 1: back of his neck and his back and then viciously
Speaker 1: striking him. One of the officers placed his boot on
Speaker 1: the back of his neck and intentionally stepped down forcefully
Speaker 1: causing him excruciating pain as he was screaming for them
Speaker 1: to stop. He also accuses them of feeling to provide
Speaker 1: medical care despite hearing him complain of pain in his
Speaker 1: neck that was extreme, and he said he couldn't feel
Speaker 1: his arms and legs. So all of this happened, and
Speaker 1: like I said, now he is paralyzed after this encounter
Speaker 1: with the police. Now they're trying to say that he slipped.
Speaker 1: He allegedly slipped and fell to the ground. That's what
Speaker 1: the cops are saying. And they said that they displayed
Speaker 1: composure throughout the incident and had the presence of mind
Speaker 1: to immediately render aid and summon medical assistance. But the
Speaker 1: defendants have maintained that he sustained his injury by slipping
Speaker 1: and falling, and he said they didn't touch him. Does
Speaker 1: that sound likely? This man is paralyzed now and according
Speaker 1: to according to even medical officers. They said that he
Speaker 1: had injuries to multiple areas of his cervical spine and
Speaker 1: they were sustained during an assault. These the medical documents
Speaker 1: say that. So it feels like that's impossible that he
Speaker 1: just slipped and fell. But he's finally getting a landmark
Speaker 1: ten million dollars settlement. But imagine that now you're paralyzed.
Speaker 1: It's definitely not to be able to the walk and
Speaker 1: not be paralyzing to be sitting on two million dollars.
Speaker 1: All right. Now, the founder of Honeypock, Beatrice Dixon, is
Speaker 1: speaking out. There was a lot of social media backlash,
Speaker 1: and that is because people were accusing her of having
Speaker 1: sold the company and they said, Dangney Honeypot went from
Speaker 1: black owned to black founded. That explains the rebrand. And
Speaker 1: they're also saying there are different ingredients now that it's
Speaker 1: no longer you know, organic, is no longer plant based.
Speaker 1: Well here it is what Beatrice Dixon had to say
Speaker 1: in responds to the backlash. The Honeypot has not been sold.
Speaker 1: It is all a lie and a rumor. I remain
Speaker 1: the owner, CEO, in chief innovation officers. We have evolved
Speaker 1: our washes. What we have not done is compromise what matters,
Speaker 1: which is being plant derived, being pH balanced, and being
Speaker 1: backed by science. We realize that we should have communicated
Speaker 1: more directly to our humans, and to be honest, we
Speaker 1: hit and for a change to our formula that we
Speaker 1: were actually going to be launching later than what we did,
Speaker 1: and we were gonna share that with you. But based
Speaker 1: on off going on with the global supply chain, our
Speaker 1: plans had to accelerate, all right, So she posted we
Speaker 1: have not sold the wash formulation has evolved for good reason,
Speaker 1: and we haven't always will to serve humans with Vagina's
Speaker 1: best full stop. Thank you for your grace and patience
Speaker 1: as I adjust this manner. But you can also email
Speaker 1: her directly, She posted at BA Dixon CEO b EA
Speaker 1: Dixon CEO at the Honeypot dot co for any questions concerns.
Speaker 1: That's where social media just be waiting for black people
Speaker 1: to slip off. Doesn't matter they're businessmen and celebrities. Y'all
Speaker 1: just can't wait to spread bad news. Like my wife
Speaker 1: uses mad Honeypot products, so I see Honeypot all the time.
Speaker 1: Beatrice has even been up here on the Breakfast Club before,
Speaker 1: but I've never seen this much chatter about them when
Speaker 1: they was doing the right things or what y'all deemed
Speaker 1: the right things. As soon as they have like I
Speaker 1: guess one mishap y'all all over them. That's ridiculous, right,
Speaker 1: And you know the business has been growing eighteen to
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, their growth number was three hundred and eighty
Speaker 1: two percent. That's a huge job. And I ain't see
Speaker 1: the chat about honeypot like that when they was growing
Speaker 1: and doing, you know, things that y'all agreed with with.
Speaker 1: One time they do something that y'all don't agree with,
Speaker 1: y'all jumped out the window on them. And the crazy
Speaker 1: thing ass with any business, especially with how businesses, it's
Speaker 1: growing pains like we've never done a lot of these
Speaker 1: businesses before. There was no instruction manual, so a lot
Speaker 1: of times we're trying to figure it out as we
Speaker 1: go along. It's wait behind a lot of these other
Speaker 1: companies and these other people when their businesses we're way behind,
Speaker 1: so we're trying to figure it out as we go along.
Speaker 1: You will lose your mind, can't about what these negros
Speaker 1: think you. I can tell you from my personal experience
Speaker 1: dealing with supply chain issues right now for my press
Speaker 1: juices Drink Fresh Juice, that's been really challenging. It took
Speaker 1: me like almost a year to even be able to
Speaker 1: do another run of juices just because of those issues.
Speaker 1: Even trying to get bottle caps or plastic or even
Speaker 1: in the juice bar, trying to get cuts and lids.
Speaker 1: They limit the amount that you can even get because
Speaker 1: there's so much limited and things are a lot more
Speaker 1: expensive right now too, so people are trying to find
Speaker 1: alternative solutions because of how expensive it is to get
Speaker 1: your hands on some of these things. You see what's
Speaker 1: also going on with them, you know with the baby
Speaker 1: formul less and all that. Yeah, yeah, no, absolutely, it
Speaker 1: got to the point yesterday where you know, when we're
Speaker 1: starting out our baby on fruit earlier because there is
Speaker 1: a shortage and formula, but everything, like you said, the
Speaker 1: bottle caps, you know, water gas, it's so high, it's
Speaker 1: it's everything is super duper expensive and we got to
Speaker 1: figure it out. But you know, shouting them, I hope
Speaker 1: they get it together and whatever. Yeah, even with the
Speaker 1: coffee tins we have to get they were such we
Speaker 1: weren't able to sometimes fulfill certain things because we couldn't
Speaker 1: even get the tins. It's just been a lot for
Speaker 1: business owners right now. So all I know is folks
Speaker 1: will whisper about your success and scream about your failures.
Speaker 1: You're so called failures, but that is your front page news.
Speaker 1: Oh everyone want to talk about nothing good you're doing.
Speaker 1: But as soon as you do something bad, it's all
Speaker 1: over the place. You can't wait to report about it
Speaker 1: and talk about it and hashtag it. All right, college,
Speaker 1: let's open up the phone line. Let's have this conversation.
Speaker 1: Michael Blackson and his wife his fiance were doing an
Speaker 1: interview and during the interview, they spoke about their relationship
Speaker 1: and how their sex life is roder. You allow, or
Speaker 1: should I say, accept Michael having one side chick a month?
Speaker 1: Why does that work for you? I've been in a
Speaker 1: long term relationship and I've said this before. Um, you
Speaker 1: having sex with the same individual for years it gets
Speaker 1: boring and I just wanted some excitement in the bedroom, Michael,
Speaker 1: with that same arrangement work in Rodes's case if she
Speaker 1: wanted to have one side piece a month as well.
Speaker 1: I mean she's allowed to have any females, warns, but
Speaker 1: not a man, not a man because you don't want
Speaker 1: a man. I don't want to We don't need another
Speaker 1: penis in the relationship. So funny, Michael black is crazy.
Speaker 1: All right, But let's open up the phone lines. Would
Speaker 1: you do this in your relationship? Is that what we're asking? No,
Speaker 1: that's my answer. Good question. Wait, und I'm with you?
Speaker 1: Eight hundred five A five one oh five one? Would
Speaker 1: you do this in your relationship? Fellas? If this was
Speaker 1: cool with your fiance and your wife, would you do that? Ladies?
Speaker 1: Would you do this with your man? Let's talk about it?
Speaker 1: Eight hundred five A five one oh five one. Ye. No.
Speaker 1: Now it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: It's topic time called eight hundred five eighty five one
Speaker 1: oh five one to join it to the discussion with
Speaker 1: the breakfast Club. Talk about it morning. Everybody is DJ
Speaker 1: Envy Angela Ye, following the guy. We are the breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: Now if he just joined us for talking about comedian
Speaker 1: Michael Blackson, him and his fiance were doing an interview
Speaker 1: and they were talking about their sex life. Rod A,
Speaker 1: you allow or should I say accept Michael having one
Speaker 1: side chick a month. M Why does that work for you?
Speaker 1: I've been in a long term relationship and I said
Speaker 1: this before, Um, you having sex with the same individual
Speaker 1: for years, it gets boring and I just wanted some
Speaker 1: excitement in the bedroom. Michael, with that same arrangement work
Speaker 1: in Rodder's case if she wanted to have one site
Speaker 1: piece a month as well. I mean she's allowed to
Speaker 1: have any females ondes, but not a man. Not a
Speaker 1: man because you don't want a man. I don't want to.
Speaker 1: We don't need another penis in the relationship. Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: we're asking eight hundred five five one o five one.
Speaker 1: Could this work in your relationship? Would you do this
Speaker 1: in your relationship? Yea, now absolutely not. If my boyfriend
Speaker 1: ever was with somebody else, it'd be over for us.
Speaker 1: So even if you proposed it, that would be he's
Speaker 1: asking if you want to, that's the thing. I'm not
Speaker 1: cheating like, So you would never propose for me. That
Speaker 1: wouldn't work. It's fine if it works for other people.
Speaker 1: I just think sometimes opening the door for that just
Speaker 1: you know, kind of opens the floodgates of Pandora's box
Speaker 1: for other things to happen. The next thing, you know,
Speaker 1: where are the rules do I have to ask permission
Speaker 1: before I do it. Do I feel like it's okay?
Speaker 1: Am I allowed to speak to this person outside of you?
Speaker 1: Am I doing things when you're not around? And I
Speaker 1: just think that's a difficult thing too. But for some
Speaker 1: people at work, some people have open relationships. I just
Speaker 1: think in my grown age, no, yeah, I agree with you,
Speaker 1: there's no way in health, not not at all too jealous.
Speaker 1: Yes I am. That's Charlemagne. Would you open up that box? Um?
Speaker 1: I don't think so, because you know, you got to
Speaker 1: think about it, right if if if if well, because
Speaker 1: it's well, it's a conversation, we're having a conversation. If
Speaker 1: my wife even proposed that, I would think it's a
Speaker 1: trap because when she brings that to you and you
Speaker 1: say yes, she's gonna be looking at you like, oh
Speaker 1: you're not happy, you bored. Whenever you're thinking about this before, yeah,
Speaker 1: when the reality is no, you just offer some other vagina. Okay,
Speaker 1: I wasn't thinking about it before. But since you're offering,
Speaker 1: and some women do that because they want to be
Speaker 1: able to do other things too, and that's the thing.
Speaker 1: Right as a man, I would be thinking that to
Speaker 1: my I'd be thinking like why is she proposing this,
Speaker 1: is she already doing something? There's something more she wants,
Speaker 1: so I'm cool. You know, the beauty of any long
Speaker 1: term relationship is growing, evolving and figuring out what keeps
Speaker 1: the pilot light lit? If another is what keeps the
Speaker 1: pilot light lit? Do you think what about it? If
Speaker 1: she wanted another penis in a relationship? I mean, the
Speaker 1: same rules applied, Like you know, I don't like know,
Speaker 1: like if you have a relationship, if that, if you
Speaker 1: want to clean it after she's with somebody else, you know,
Speaker 1: like one of our listeners, that's fine, whatever you guys
Speaker 1: decide that's too far. But I mean, listen, we do
Speaker 1: live in an era of very non traditional relationships. Like
Speaker 1: people is acting like you know, monogamy is dead, Like
Speaker 1: people are really figuring out all of these different polynesian
Speaker 1: source relationships. What's the word polyamorous? Polyamorous relationships? You know, Hey,
Speaker 1: whatever works for them, monogamy is alive and well for me?
Speaker 1: All right, well let's go to the phone lines. Hello,
Speaker 1: who's this? Would you ever let your man have a one?
Speaker 1: I check him off? No, no where, not one a month.
Speaker 1: That's just that's just mad. Like, but I mean just
Speaker 1: to have maybe one every six month, maybe you know,
Speaker 1: a couple of years. That's cool because, um, on one hand,
Speaker 1: you know everybody like three stones are like mainstream. Now,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying that a lot of people fetish.
Speaker 1: It's really mainstream. I'm telling you not not just that,
Speaker 1: but like you only someone more than freaking honey, you
Speaker 1: ont be running very you know what. I'm saying that
Speaker 1: for me too, So you're getting the workout. I respect that, yeah,
Speaker 1: more than just because you. I couldn't see having a
Speaker 1: threesome with a female that I don't have some type
Speaker 1: of feelings for, you know what I'm saying. Even Okay, hey,
Speaker 1: that's real what you said though, Because if you've been
Speaker 1: in a relationship, have you've been in a relationship for
Speaker 1: a long time with a person man, and you bring
Speaker 1: somebody else in the relationship, that woman gott to offer
Speaker 1: more than just poom poom like you gotta do. I'm
Speaker 1: going to outdo her in the plane anyway, So you
Speaker 1: don't really have to bring more to the table. You
Speaker 1: want a slave, that's what you want, not a damn
Speaker 1: why why why why? You? Why get gross? Do this?
Speaker 1: Pick up the kids? Do this not a slave do
Speaker 1: you want to? But not even the shut out? And
Speaker 1: some people want somebody that they have no interaction with
Speaker 1: after that and no one knows you're not going to
Speaker 1: keep in contact. I guess it all depends on whatever
Speaker 1: conversation you have. I just wanted to record the show.
Speaker 1: I don't think that's type cool, Like I think the
Speaker 1: borderline on kind of a little bit like logic. But
Speaker 1: she cannot have this relationship with someone without having some
Speaker 1: type of relation, not know, once a month, that's kind
Speaker 1: of state. Yeah, I get what you're saying. I just
Speaker 1: wanted to record to show that we perfectly understood what
Speaker 1: she was describing. We didn't need anything to put any
Speaker 1: lave on it. All right, Hey, go to it. Hey,
Speaker 1: good morning, Hey, we'll links to you. Good morning. How
Speaker 1: are y'all? Blessed Black and Hilly favorite? Would you allow
Speaker 1: your partner to have a side piece once a month? No?
Speaker 1: I wouldn't. Okay, period, that's it. That's it. This sounds
Speaker 1: like I said, case of my man's gonna do it anyway,
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna act like this, okay, okay, And there
Speaker 1: are some women who feel like that. They're like, look,
Speaker 1: men cheat so you might as well just get used
Speaker 1: to it and let them do it. You'd rather know that,
Speaker 1: not meaning. Plus, I've seen too much of them. Damn
Speaker 1: twin movies, man all in Pandora's Boxing, TWI movies. They
Speaker 1: don't never any well, okay, okay? We eight five eight

Speaker 1: noticeable lumps on his face as I was swollen. People
Speaker 1: were wondering why his face looked injured. But when that,
Speaker 1: you know, that text message from him surfaced online, he said,
Speaker 1: twenty Mware is deep. This all they did, couldn't even
Speaker 1: take my ish. And then he had his Bunny Rabbit
Speaker 1: pendant that was online. He said, tell them Mware has
Speaker 1: come harder next time, and he still did go ahead
Speaker 1: and perform. Here's what Freddy Gibbs had to say about
Speaker 1: rumors about his chain being snatched. A stole der produced
Speaker 1: the stolejer and I'm gonna hit bad with my baby
Speaker 1: mama child support money. You see a beach blanking Monday,
Speaker 1: May sixteen. The Jewelry is here produced the stole the
Speaker 1: Rabbit produced the stolen Jury that you say, did you
Speaker 1: got man? Me and a street rapper gott to be exhausted,
Speaker 1: I mean so much to prove all the time walking
Speaker 1: around with your chest out, leading with your ego always
Speaker 1: gotta be tough. Nobody got time for that. And Freddie
Speaker 1: should be lucky he's alive. Like I saw that video,
Speaker 1: you got jumped by that many people. Anything can happen, right,
Speaker 1: And I didn't even know men because they've have songs together,
Speaker 1: they were supposed to at one point do an album together.
Speaker 1: So I don't know where this all started from. Now
Speaker 1: people were trying to figure out where this whole issue
Speaker 1: between the two of them, who basically have been you know, colleagues,
Speaker 1: done music together. Seems like they was cool at one point.
Speaker 1: So they go back to different things that happened. And
Speaker 1: here is Freddy Gibbs telling people to keep his name
Speaker 1: out of their mouths. Working with Freddy gives and I
Speaker 1: came and with too, Just keep my name onto our
Speaker 1: mouth man, y'all talking to people were doing interviews, Just
Speaker 1: say next question, man, I don't want to talk about
Speaker 1: that man, Just say next mother question. All I know
Speaker 1: is Freddie is never too late to pivot. My brother,
Speaker 1: you're gonna be forty this year. That's too old to
Speaker 1: be trying to prove you know you gangster? And where's
Speaker 1: these rapp security? I mean there was a lot of people,
Speaker 1: and they were a lot of people. You got you
Speaker 1: one of these is rarely trained on security guards. Let
Speaker 1: that thankst offline. But that audio was Anny the Butcher
Speaker 1: on Spotify's most necessary live interview, and that was him
Speaker 1: discussing a possible collaboration when Freddie Gibbs, he said, it
Speaker 1: came and went. And that's when Freddie Gibbs said, you know,
Speaker 1: to keep my name out to mouth. Just say next question,
Speaker 1: keep it moving after that? And how was Freddie able
Speaker 1: to count all those people? I can understand if it
Speaker 1: was three or four, but he knew it was twenty.
Speaker 1: But I have to estimate and how and how do
Speaker 1: you know Benny the Butcher? How do we know BENNI
Speaker 1: the Butcher had anything to do with this. I mean,
Speaker 1: I understand it was in Buffalo, but allegedly, that's what
Speaker 1: people are saying. It's alleged that it was Benny the
Speaker 1: Butcher's crew. That's what people were saying. We don't know
Speaker 1: that that's true because Freddie Doby, he'd be having a
Speaker 1: lot of smoke, it seemed like, and maybe they felt
Speaker 1: like it's Buffalo. And then the two of them have
Speaker 1: been having this back and forth. They they've written stuff
Speaker 1: to each other on social media. Who knows. I didn't
Speaker 1: know it was that serious. Yeah, I'm not going to
Speaker 1: just put that on. It feels like something that could
Speaker 1: have been squashed with the conversation, but who knows. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm just not going to just think that on Bennie
Speaker 1: just because in his town. All right. Now, Kim Kardashian
Speaker 1: is on the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issues. So
Speaker 1: is Sierra. By the way, so is Yumi Nu and
Speaker 1: may Musk. So break it down for you now, Kim
Speaker 1: Kardashian wrote a letter to herself for the issue. She
Speaker 1: penned a letter to her younger self where she gives
Speaker 1: herself a little advice. She said, it's easy to say,
Speaker 1: just ignore the criticism. But another thing you'll learn is
Speaker 1: that at some point it will click in your head
Speaker 1: that it's not about you anymore. It's about family, it's
Speaker 1: about helping other people. For years, you'll be putting yourself
Speaker 1: out there, but you're going to become a more private
Speaker 1: person and you're going to come to realize that the
Speaker 1: way to get your story out there, the actual narrative,
Speaker 1: the truth, isn't by engaging, but by doing so. That
Speaker 1: was a letter to her younger self now. Sierra is
Speaker 1: also on the cover of the Swimsuit Issue as well,
Speaker 1: and her husband Russell Wilson, said that It's something that
Speaker 1: she's always wanted, so congratulations to her. He also wrote
Speaker 1: a tribute to his wife as part of this year's
Speaker 1: cover story. He said, that's what my wife does. She
Speaker 1: inspires people because she connects with them. She tilts rooms
Speaker 1: when she walks into them. It really seems like all
Speaker 1: the furniture just slides her way. That is so sweet.
Speaker 1: In addition, modeling activists made Musku is on the cover.
Speaker 1: She's seventy four years old, by the way, so she's
Speaker 1: the oldest Swimsuit cover model. And then Yumi Nu is
Speaker 1: also part of this year's cover class, and she is
Speaker 1: what's considered a curvy model. She made history as the
Speaker 1: first Asian curve model to grace the pages of Sports
Speaker 1: Illustrated Swimsuit. Now she's on the cover. So those are
Speaker 1: the four covers and that hit stands on May nineteenth.
Speaker 1: I'm Angela Yee and that is your rumor report. Who
Speaker 1: you give it? That donkey too? Man? I need a
Speaker 1: relative of that thug Peyton Genderns to come to the
Speaker 1: front of the congregation. Her name is Sandra Andrew Andrew Komroff.
Speaker 1: She needs to come to the confront of the congregation.
Speaker 1: We like to have a world with her, all right,
Speaker 1: we'll get to that. NeXT's the breakfast Club. Good morning,
Speaker 1: So breakfast Club, your morning's will never be the same.

Speaker 1: the deadly spawshooting rampage. If they was a really bad
Speaker 1: day for him, and this is what he did, and
Speaker 1: so we are in a state of emergency. We are okay.
Speaker 1: White supremancive violence is always have been the number one
Speaker 1: threat to officide. But I'm also very proud that my
Speaker 1: wife was white. The breakfast club bitches, all right, please
Speaker 1: tell me why was I your Donkey of the day.
Speaker 1: Donkey Today for Tuesday, May seventeenth goes to sixty eight
Speaker 1: year old Sandra Komaroff. You know who Sondra Comaroff is,
Speaker 1: of course not, but I'm going to tell you she
Speaker 1: is a relative of the cold blooded, racist, bigoted murderer
Speaker 1: Peyton Gendering. If you don't know who Peyton Gingering is,
Speaker 1: He's the eighteen year old thug who decided to go
Speaker 1: into a tops friendly market and take the life of
Speaker 1: ten black people in Buffalo, New York this past weekend,
Speaker 1: sending healing energy to the families of the victims. I
Speaker 1: can't even begin to feel, and don't ever want to feel,
Speaker 1: what y'all going through right now. But Sandra Komroff is
Speaker 1: the cousin of this thugs. Okay, Peyton's mom, and she
Speaker 1: don't I don't even know who asked her and why
Speaker 1: she did, but she decided to give her thoughts on
Speaker 1: why she felt like he Peyton committed the murders that
Speaker 1: he did. She was talking to The New York Post
Speaker 1: and she said, in our quote, I have no idea
Speaker 1: how he could have gotten caught up in this. I
Speaker 1: blame it on COVID. Now, listen, we have blamed COVID
Speaker 1: for a lot of things, and rightfully so. But one
Speaker 1: thing we're not gonna blame COVID for is racism. Okay,
Speaker 1: We're not gonna blame COVID for bigotry unless COVID is
Speaker 1: cold for the American way, there is no logical reason
Speaker 1: to blame this on COVID. But but I will continue.
Speaker 1: Sandra Khmarov said Peyton was very paranoid about getting COVID,
Speaker 1: extremely paranoid to the point that his friends were saying
Speaker 1: he would wear a has matched suit to school. Listen,
Speaker 1: what was the key thing they told us to do
Speaker 1: to avoid getting COVID? What was the reason all of
Speaker 1: us was in the house quarantining, working from home? Why
Speaker 1: did zoom get so popular? Two words, five syllables, sociow distancing, okay,
Speaker 1: which means to avoid people. And if you do getting
Speaker 1: in people, stay six feet away. Going to a supermarket
Speaker 1: to randomly kill black people is not social distancing. In fact,
Speaker 1: if you were really scared of COVID and stay jr
Speaker 1: ass home, then those beautiful people who were killed in
Speaker 1: top supermarket would be alive today. Okay. Sandra, his mama's cousin,
Speaker 1: continued and said, Peyton got COVID a few weeks ago.
Speaker 1: He went to a family function with a respirator mask on,
Speaker 1: and he totally wasn't going to get COVID, and then
Speaker 1: he got COVID. I know what y'all thinking. I know
Speaker 1: what y'all thinking. All the people who passed the COVID
Speaker 1: COVID didn't take the right one out. I know, I know. Okay, Sandra,
Speaker 1: his mama's cousin, said they were vax to the max.
Speaker 1: That's her exact works. That's really what she said. And
Speaker 1: I don't know if it was a bad case. I
Speaker 1: just know he caught it. She is stressing that he
Speaker 1: brought into the fear of COVID. She is claiming that
Speaker 1: isolation and paranoia over COVID could have caused him to
Speaker 1: commit this massacre. Let me tell you something. It's no
Speaker 1: secret I suffered from bad anxiety, Okay, a lot more
Speaker 1: manageable now because of therapy and other mindfulness techniques I've
Speaker 1: been practicing over the years. So you know, I understand
Speaker 1: being under the fear of isolation and paranoia. But what
Speaker 1: that got to do with being racist? Okay, what that
Speaker 1: got to do with being a bigot? All right? His
Speaker 1: mama cousin said, that's the only way to say it.
Speaker 1: And when you're at home all day on the internet,
Speaker 1: you're missing out on human contact. There's a lot of
Speaker 1: emotions and a lot of body language you're not getting
Speaker 1: as when you see their face. Again, what the ftors
Speaker 1: just have to do with your eighteen year old thug
Speaker 1: ass cousin Peyton being a racist bigger than mass murderer.
Speaker 1: Then her husband David chime in and said, in theory,
Speaker 1: COVID could have affected what they call the lizard brain. Oh,
Speaker 1: all you YouTube conspiracy theorists out there, I think he's
Speaker 1: admitting that Peyton is potentially a blood drinking, flesh eating,
Speaker 1: shape shifting extraterrestrial, reptilian humanoid with only one objective, and
Speaker 1: that's murder. Her husband said, I can't say it's impossible,
Speaker 1: but maybe that would happen one out of so many
Speaker 1: millions of times. What the hell are they even talking about.
Speaker 1: Don't nobody get the benefit of the doubt? Like a
Speaker 1: white man in America? Okay, Peyton was a racist, bigot
Speaker 1: who wanted to kill black people, full stop. Okay, that's it.
Speaker 1: It's a story as old as time, and by his time,
Speaker 1: I mean in the history of this country. Peyton just
Speaker 1: carrying on tradition. This is an old not goody Okay,
Speaker 1: Sandra said, I don't understand the racist thing because my
Speaker 1: family is the farthest thing from racist. I've never heard
Speaker 1: a racist comment from him from his parents. It's almost
Speaker 1: like he just snapped something in him, broke no something,
Speaker 1: and Peyton activated. Okay. I don't know if people are
Speaker 1: inherently evil, but I do not and will not ever
Speaker 1: understand racism. Okay. Can you imagine hating someone simply because
Speaker 1: they aren't the same race as you. You think your
Speaker 1: racist is superior, mind is inferior, therefore you get to
Speaker 1: decide whether I live or die. The thing that saddens
Speaker 1: me to most about this is that it's never gonna stop.
Speaker 1: There is no cue for racism, there's no cure for hate,
Speaker 1: there's no cue for bigotry. I think a lot of
Speaker 1: us have been waiting for old people with that racist
Speaker 1: mentality to die. But this thug, Peyton Jeneren, was eighteen,
Speaker 1: so it seems like it's another ending cycle and sadly
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to deal with this forever. And the
Speaker 1: Internet don't make it any better, you know, Sandra said,
Speaker 1: I don't know where he went online, the dark web,
Speaker 1: and he got into some nasty stuff. No, he got
Speaker 1: into some American stuff. He found his tribe. And since
Speaker 1: this country doesn't want to teach the real history of America,
Speaker 1: thugs like Peyton buying the false narratives online, lies online,
Speaker 1: misinformation online like white replacement theory. Okay, that puts fuel
Speaker 1: on their racist fire. Look, America, we can't heal what
Speaker 1: we don't reveal. And hell, when it comes to racism,
Speaker 1: even when it's revealed, I don't think it can be healed.
Speaker 1: Like I said before, there is no cure for racism.
Speaker 1: There is no cure for hate. There is no cure
Speaker 1: for bigotry. It's a never ending American cycle that always
Speaker 1: has been and sadly always will be. And until we
Speaker 1: can deal with the truth of that matter, nothing and
Speaker 1: I mean nothing will change. Dave and Sandra, I need
Speaker 1: you both to shut the f up forever. Okay. COVID
Speaker 1: has taken a lot of lives, but as far as
Speaker 1: I know, it hasn't caused anyone to take them. Okay,
Speaker 1: Isolation and paranoia has caused people during COVID to take
Speaker 1: their own life, but isolation and paranoia, as far as
Speaker 1: I know, hasn't caused anyone to take other people's lives. Okay,
Speaker 1: there's only one disease that caused your murderous thug ass
Speaker 1: bigger than ass relative Payton to do what he did.
Speaker 1: And that disease is racism. In the words of Albert Eins,
Speaker 1: racism is America's greatest disease. Racism is a disease of
Speaker 1: the white man. End quote. And sadly, I don't think
Speaker 1: it's a cure for it. Please give Sandra and David
Speaker 1: Coma roff. A matter of fact, let Kathy Griffin give
Speaker 1: Sandra and David Koma Roff the biggest Hea Hall. Please
Speaker 1: give this giant jar of male the biggest Hea Hall.
Speaker 1: All right. And I don't even know if Alberstein said
Speaker 1: that quote. That's who the quote is attributed to, but
Speaker 1: I like the quote. Okay, all right, now, when we
Speaker 1: come back, Christian Smalls will be joining us. Chris Small.
Speaker 1: He's he's the president and founder of the Amazon Labor Union,
Speaker 1: and we're gonna talk to him when we come back,
Speaker 1: all right, So don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning,
Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club, Say morning. Everybody is DJ Envy and
Speaker 1: Jela Yee, Charlemagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: We got a special guest in the building, president of
Speaker 1: the Amazon Labor Union. That's right, Chris Small. Welcome brother
Speaker 1: for having me. Good morning, I'm good. I'm good, you know,
Speaker 1: very excited to be here. And UM, you know, just
Speaker 1: tell tell the people, the good people, the story of
Speaker 1: how we got here. Well let's let's start. Why did
Speaker 1: Amazon need a labor union? Well, you know, I worked
Speaker 1: for the company for almost five years to work for them,
Speaker 1: no no more. Got fired in twenty twenty when I
Speaker 1: let a walk out outside of Staaten Island. UM. And
Speaker 1: that's the reason why I continue to advocate it for
Speaker 1: the workers' rights because what happened to me shouldn't have happened,
Speaker 1: and UM, I didn't wanted to see it happen to
Speaker 1: anybody else. So going back to that same facility and
Speaker 1: starting a union UM over a year ago. UM, you know,
Speaker 1: we were successfully able to be to become the first
Speaker 1: union in American history. Why did they fire you? Basically,
Speaker 1: they fired me after I let a walk out over
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen. You know, when I was working there as
Speaker 1: a supervisor. UM, we had no PPE. We were deemed
Speaker 1: the sensual workers UM, and we were shipping it out
Speaker 1: no no facial mass in the building, no cleaning supplies. Wow.
Speaker 1: And you know I tried to go through the proper channels,
Speaker 1: going through HR, going to the upper management, and they
Speaker 1: neglected it. They didn't listen to us. They didn't listen
Speaker 1: to me. And at the end of the week, I
Speaker 1: desired to take further action. And when I let that
Speaker 1: walk out, I inspired two hours later. How many people
Speaker 1: walked out that day? Um, well, the reports say that
Speaker 1: it was less than a hundred people, but I'm gonna
Speaker 1: stick to what it was. You know, we uh, we
Speaker 1: staged it to make it seem like it was more
Speaker 1: than a lot, more than a few hundred people, only
Speaker 1: because we knew that we had a short amount of time.
Speaker 1: So I got about a good fifty sixty people to
Speaker 1: walk out. That's a lot, Jos, A lot at any job.
Speaker 1: Fifty sixty people. What were the what were the work
Speaker 1: conditions other than COVID at Amazon that you know made
Speaker 1: you and your co workers feel like we got to
Speaker 1: do this. Well, these buildings a mass and they fourteen
Speaker 1: NFL football fields. You know, I used to tell my
Speaker 1: new highest if you have a gym membership, cancel it
Speaker 1: because you're doing ten to twelve hours at college Thattics,
Speaker 1: we walked ten We walked thirty to sixty miles a day.
Speaker 1: We only get a thirty to forty five minute lunch.
Speaker 1: You're working ten to twelve hours a day and you
Speaker 1: your own productivity the moment you clock in. So um,
Speaker 1: you know you have to prepare yourself physically and mentally
Speaker 1: to work there. Amazon didn't take this seriously at first, right,
Speaker 1: And I saw they sent out an email that got
Speaker 1: leaked where they Amazon chief council said you were not
Speaker 1: smart nor articulates. So, um, what were your thoughts when
Speaker 1: you heard that? Well, it was definitely disheartening because Jeff Bazils,
Speaker 1: who at the time was the richest man in the world,
Speaker 1: he signed off on that, and at that time he
Speaker 1: was making thirteen billion dollars a day, nine million dollars
Speaker 1: an hour, and almost for forty five hundred a second,
Speaker 1: and not getting taxed for it, right, no taxes. And
Speaker 1: to try to smear somebody like me who's making no
Speaker 1: less than forty thousand dollars a year just for trying
Speaker 1: to speak up and protect um, you know, the workers
Speaker 1: was definitely disheartening, and obviously it motivated me to continue
Speaker 1: fighting and advocating for workers, and you know you did.
Speaker 1: You did get fired for your your activism. How did
Speaker 1: you prove it was retaliation for the walkout? I did
Speaker 1: you ever proved my case was dismissed? So you know,
Speaker 1: there's no justice for me, you know, so um by
Speaker 1: proving it was just telling the truth. You know, I
Speaker 1: think people, um, you know, gravitated to my story just
Speaker 1: by me telling the truth. You know, I was a
Speaker 1: worker there that invested my blood, sweat and tears into
Speaker 1: the company trying to move up and I never got
Speaker 1: the opportunity. And it's because the system that they have there.
Speaker 1: And when I got fired, I realized that, you know,
Speaker 1: I was trying to get my all to a company
Speaker 1: I didn't really care about me. And I think a
Speaker 1: lot of people realize that that Amazon, you know, the
Speaker 1: reefs of benefits of our communities, but they don't really
Speaker 1: uplift the black and brown workers that work there. How
Speaker 1: did you feel after you got fired, Like when you
Speaker 1: got the news, I definitely, you know, I went into
Speaker 1: a little bit of a phone. You know, it was
Speaker 1: the middle of a pandemic. I just lost my main
Speaker 1: source of income health insurance. You know, I have children,
Speaker 1: so I lost everything. So at that of course, in
Speaker 1: that moment, I felt like, you know, my life is
Speaker 1: over and in a sense, But then I got a
Speaker 1: call from Reverend Jesse Jackson and that really like motivated
Speaker 1: me when he called me, because I didn't even know how.
Speaker 1: I still don't know how you got my number till
Speaker 1: this day. He just called me. He pretty much gave
Speaker 1: me like a motivational speech to keep going. I saw
Speaker 1: in the New York Times that you managed to raise
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty thousand at the time to make
Speaker 1: sure that people could protests, could be outside, could you know,
Speaker 1: eat and everything. But they said that Amazon spent four
Speaker 1: point three million dollars and that was on anti union consultants.
Speaker 1: That's insane. Yeah. Yeah, they paid these union persuaders and
Speaker 1: union busters somewhere between three to ten thousand dollars a
Speaker 1: day to try to walk around the warehouses stopping us
Speaker 1: from forming the union. So over the course of the year, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's some much somebody just to walk around the builders.
Speaker 1: Just make sure you guys are not having conversations or
Speaker 1: or rallying the troops. Yeah, pretty much, pretty much. Yeah,
Speaker 1: any any conversation around labor union. You know, that's that's
Speaker 1: what their job is to bust it up. You know,
Speaker 1: we call them union busters. So that union just still
Speaker 1: exists in that facility. Absolutely, we won. We won on
Speaker 1: April first. We represent the eighty three hundred workers there instead.
Speaker 1: How did you know how to create a union in
Speaker 1: the start of labor union Google? What was the process
Speaker 1: of that? Yeah? Who creates unions in twenty twenty two? Um,
Speaker 1: we people, you know we uh, we definitely had to
Speaker 1: do a lot of research and homework and I had
Speaker 1: to learn a lot of the labor laws. Um. Thank
Speaker 1: god I was able to get a pro bono lawyer
Speaker 1: to help us out in the beginning. That lawyer man
Speaker 1: shout him out, Seth Goldstein, shout ahead. Yeah. He uh
Speaker 1: definitely guided us into you know, trying to file certain
Speaker 1: ulps um. The other was just us. You know, we
Speaker 1: create this union from scratch, you know, the Amazon Labor Union,
Speaker 1: and we wanted to represent the workers. So we know
Speaker 1: the ins and out of the company, even know the grievances.
Speaker 1: We lived these realities. So for us, we formed something
Speaker 1: that would benefit us. And what's the goal of the
Speaker 1: Amazon Labor Union. While we have you know, we have
Speaker 1: to get a contract, and our contract we're fighting for,
Speaker 1: you know, a better quality of life overall, which is
Speaker 1: thirty thousand an hour job security, better medical leave options,
Speaker 1: longer breaks, pension, free college for yourself and your children,
Speaker 1: and make everybody a shareholder against something they stopped in
Speaker 1: two eighteen. Now the case was dismiss What happens about
Speaker 1: the retaliation, Well, I have a chance to appeal, you know,
Speaker 1: on which I have to talk to my lawyers about,
Speaker 1: and you know what, probably will do that. But in
Speaker 1: the meantime for me, you know, you know, my justice
Speaker 1: is pretty much just fighting with the union. You know, Um,
Speaker 1: I already seen that the legal aspect of it doesn't
Speaker 1: always go in our favor, especially being a black man.
Speaker 1: You can forget about it, you know. So I'm just
Speaker 1: trying to organize until you know, I see that some
Speaker 1: systemically it will be changed. I wonder why they changed,
Speaker 1: Why they stopped letting people be shareholders to save the
Speaker 1: company money. You know, I used to bring home almost
Speaker 1: three shares a year, so um, they stopped that in
Speaker 1: two thousand and eighteen. When they get everybody the minimum
Speaker 1: wage of fifteen fifty. Wow, No, of course, not. It
Speaker 1: just took him away. I had to, you know, I
Speaker 1: had to use them when I We got more with
Speaker 1: Chris Small when we come back. He is the president
Speaker 1: and founder of the Amazon Labor Union, and we're gonna
Speaker 1: talk to him some more. It's the Breakfast Club more
Speaker 1: than everybody is. DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlemagne, the guy
Speaker 1: we are the Breakfast Club was still kicking it with
Speaker 1: Chris Small. He is the president and founder of the
Speaker 1: Amazon Labor Union. That's just been a catalyst for other
Speaker 1: facilities to also unionized. Absolutely. You know, ever since we won,
Speaker 1: we've been contacted by every building in the country already,
Speaker 1: and you know that list grows every day, even overseas
Speaker 1: from South Africa to India, Australia, Canada, South America. They
Speaker 1: all reached out to us. They're all watching us, and
Speaker 1: they're rooting for us. So it's amazing to see people
Speaker 1: are calling this and David Versus Goliath type of story.
Speaker 1: When did you realize that impact this would have just
Speaker 1: nationally pretty much from the beginning, you know, I realized
Speaker 1: over a year ago when we first started that you know,
Speaker 1: we wasn't getting the tension that we needed. But I
Speaker 1: know that we had something that was working because you know,
Speaker 1: for us, we were signing up workers every day and
Speaker 1: we were successfully able to sign up over four thousand workers.
Speaker 1: And I knew that we had something special, you know,
Speaker 1: for a brand new union that has no no established backing,
Speaker 1: and no resources to connect with those people the way
Speaker 1: we did. Um, I knew that it was going to
Speaker 1: be big once we got to the election. And it
Speaker 1: was my bather put me on to you a couple
Speaker 1: of weeks ago, and he was he was very impressed
Speaker 1: and very proud of you. And the reason was, he
Speaker 1: was like, because Chris doesn't change for nobody. It was like,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm sure they tried to fight you, say
Speaker 1: we want you to put on the suit, we want
Speaker 1: you to do this, but he was like, he doesn't,
Speaker 1: he doesn't fall, He stands on his own. How difficult
Speaker 1: was it because I know, I'm sure people wanted you
Speaker 1: to change you and to look this way, or to
Speaker 1: wear a suit, or to talk like that, or to
Speaker 1: take the front out. So how difficult was it for you?
Speaker 1: And how much feedback? Now, Well, for those who know
Speaker 1: me life since I was you know, young adult, they
Speaker 1: know that this is who I am as a person.
Speaker 1: They know this who I was. Even Amazon knew that.
Speaker 1: You know. I came to work like this every day
Speaker 1: and back and sent twenty fifteen. And um, I told
Speaker 1: the White House the same thing. When I went to
Speaker 1: White House. You know, they're going to invite me. I'm
Speaker 1: coming as his and I think that's important to Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: I met the President, I'm at the Vice President, met
Speaker 1: the Secretary Labor. Also had to school a couple of Republicans.
Speaker 1: But I saw that, you know, But that's what it's about.
Speaker 1: It's like, you know, people want you to change and
Speaker 1: fit the status quo. But for me, I'm representing the workers.
Speaker 1: I'm representing the community that I come from, and I
Speaker 1: think that's important to be who you are as a person.
Speaker 1: How was your experience at the centre? It definitely was
Speaker 1: something that I thought I would never be a part of.
Speaker 1: But um you know, to be there and to represent
Speaker 1: the workers and to bring my actual union members there
Speaker 1: to share that experience, it was. It was definitely powerful,
Speaker 1: and um, I wasn't you know, I was there on
Speaker 1: the mission to make sure that I'm talking about the issues.
Speaker 1: So to get that opportunity, it was definitely great, What
Speaker 1: were you hoping to get across? What were you hoping
Speaker 1: to once you when you left that situation, what were
Speaker 1: you hoping to get out of? Well to number one?
Speaker 1: Hold Amazon accountable? Um, you know, the government gave Amazon
Speaker 1: ten billion dollars and this is the same company, this
Speaker 1: is the same Democrats that claim that they stand with
Speaker 1: workers rights. So we can't have that, you know, we
Speaker 1: can't have them saying that they stand with workers and
Speaker 1: then you're giving the company that's you know, stopping working
Speaker 1: from organized and firing workers and destroying people's lives. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, billion dollar bellouts. So you know, my my
Speaker 1: reason for going there was to advocate for that and
Speaker 1: also make a demand that the company needs to recognize
Speaker 1: our union as well. You know, they bailed out Jeff
Speaker 1: Basos is space firm. Billion dollars for Jeff Basos space
Speaker 1: from right for somebody that don't pay taxes and the
Speaker 1: Amazon and stuff. He got it. He's the richest man
Speaker 1: in the world, got it. Got it. I was gonna
Speaker 1: ask they ever, the Jeff Basos or Amazon ever tried
Speaker 1: to when it was getting too loud, did they ever
Speaker 1: just say, you know what, can we just cut you
Speaker 1: a check the shut up or can we just cut
Speaker 1: you a check? The walk away? Did they ever try
Speaker 1: that with you? You know, they did offer a settlement
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago, but it was it was disrespectful.
Speaker 1: So the settlement was disrespectful, right, It was something that
Speaker 1: I wouldn't never even if they did, I wouldn't even
Speaker 1: take the money because it's not even out the money
Speaker 1: to me. It wasn't. You don't want to say no,
Speaker 1: I can't say it, but you know, I just say
Speaker 1: that it wasn't. It wasn't even enough for me to
Speaker 1: even come to the table. Didn't they get you? They
Speaker 1: got you arrested, right, you're in a couple of other organizers.
Speaker 1: They got you arrested for trust passing. Yeah. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: was delivering food to the work is something I've done
Speaker 1: every day throughout our campaign, and that day they chose
Speaker 1: to escalate things and I was arrested. Wow outside the
Speaker 1: building you would delivered yeah. Wow. For people listening, if
Speaker 1: they're in a situation where they're like, okay, we need
Speaker 1: to form a union, what are the steps to do
Speaker 1: something like that? That you would tell them? So you
Speaker 1: need to get started. You need thirty percent of your workforce.
Speaker 1: So depending on where you work at. For example, you
Speaker 1: work at like, uh, Starbucks, another place that's been unionizing
Speaker 1: a lot. You know, if they have ten workers there,
Speaker 1: they need thirty percent to form a file up petition.
Speaker 1: Once you file that petition, you need fifty percent to
Speaker 1: vote yes um, and then you can pretty much bargain
Speaker 1: for your your unit. Really simple, but a lot of
Speaker 1: people don't know that you know what you know on
Speaker 1: the outside or just another business. When you finished with this,
Speaker 1: you really should think about doing a course on how
Speaker 1: to do it because a lot of times we just
Speaker 1: don't know how, and teaching other brothers and other sisters
Speaker 1: how to do it and benefit them a lot with
Speaker 1: their journey and their career and their life and their families.
Speaker 1: Because it's great because it's when you see something like
Speaker 1: this you'd be like, gosh, like the amount of homework,
Speaker 1: the amount of learning, the amount of stuff that you
Speaker 1: had to do to understand and learn all this is
Speaker 1: is pretty damn amazing man. Thank you. Yeah, I intend to.
Speaker 1: You know, that's what we plan on doing. You know,
Speaker 1: with this national call that we have. You know now
Speaker 1: that every building reached out to us. We wanted to
Speaker 1: teach everybody how to get started to write a book? Bro? Yeah,
Speaker 1: what do you think it's a good salary for Amazon worker? Like,
Speaker 1: what would you think it is a good livable wage
Speaker 1: yearly a yearly um at least fifty at least fifty
Speaker 1: you know, and that's that's after taxes, you know. So
Speaker 1: like the hunted, say how much you make? When you
Speaker 1: know how much you make? I was gonna ask you,
Speaker 1: you know, when you at the White House, did you
Speaker 1: see the person that had Joe Biden was trying to
Speaker 1: shake when you know, when you're trying to shake her
Speaker 1: hand and there was nobody did did you see that
Speaker 1: person at all? Way? What was this? Never mind? It's
Speaker 1: Chris Small, ladies and gentlemen, the president of the Amazon
Speaker 1: Labor Union. And we appreciate you know, anytime you need
Speaker 1: to come back, come on back. Yeah, pull up, man.
Speaker 1: Let this be your platform. Let's just be your bully
Speaker 1: pulpit now. Definitely, you know, I appreciate you inviting me
Speaker 1: up here. It's important that the black community, the black
Speaker 1: and brown community, definitely stand behind this movement because we
Speaker 1: make up the majority of the workforce no matter where
Speaker 1: we are, and I'm a country and I remember Nina
Speaker 1: Turner was here and was like, you gotta get him on.
Speaker 1: So we're glad that you. Yeah, Mary and too Mary
Speaker 1: and Williamson too, very highly absolutely, I love both of them.
Speaker 1: All right. Well, it's Chris Small, It's the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: Good morning, the Breakfast Club Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy,
Speaker 1: Angela Yee, Charlemagne guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's
Speaker 1: get to the rumors. I just want you to know
Speaker 1: the Pentagon is revealing the truth about UFO files and
Speaker 1: and a rare centered hearing today. I just want to
Speaker 1: throw that out there. So look a lot of people,
Speaker 1: the humbling of humans is about to commence. All right, Well,
Speaker 1: let's keep to the rumors. Let's talk NBA Young Boy.
Speaker 1: This is the rum of report with Angela Ye. According
Speaker 1: to DJ academics, Young Boy has the opportunity to re
Speaker 1: up with Atlantic Records because his deal is over soon.
Speaker 1: But he turned down a twenty five million dollar offer.
Speaker 1: He said that NBA Young Boy is leaving. He will
Speaker 1: not be resigning. He didn't like their offers. He said,
Speaker 1: I can tell you they offered him like twenty five million.
Speaker 1: He turned it down. He don't want it. He's good.
Speaker 1: He don't want the money. He doesn't want to be
Speaker 1: in a record deal anymore with Atlantic. He wants to
Speaker 1: be completely free. He wants to be independent. He wants
Speaker 1: to do his thing. I respect. He's making a lot
Speaker 1: of money off YouTube, right yeah, and office music too period.
Speaker 1: I mean he's a huge artist, so yeah, he definitely do.
Speaker 1: He's definitely to that point where he's been to that point,
Speaker 1: young boy, if you want to merch, if you want
Speaker 1: any more energy to move. I didn't even know he
Speaker 1: was on Atlantic. I had no idea young boy was
Speaker 1: signed to a major label this whole time. Yeah, he's
Speaker 1: been on it. I had no idea. You know what
Speaker 1: I did not know. I didn't know that either. I
Speaker 1: thought he was independent this whole I did. You don't
Speaker 1: remember him ranting about Atlantic and saying how they were
Speaker 1: black that when I first started, they didn't take down
Speaker 1: his music. They put his they took his Yeah, but
Speaker 1: that's when I first started realizing, like, oh, he signed
Speaker 1: to a major I had no idea. All right, now,
Speaker 1: shout out to bad Bunny. His Spanish language songs have
Speaker 1: broken a record this week. He has four songs in
Speaker 1: the top ten of the hot one hundred all in Spanish.
Speaker 1: It's the first time two or more all Spanish language
Speaker 1: songs have simultaneously simultaneously ranked together on that chart. So
Speaker 1: congratulations to Bad Bunny. So what caused it? That day
Speaker 1: scream so I saw in future album dropped. He had
Speaker 1: like four in the top ten as well, and of
Speaker 1: course Drake. I think Drake might have been the whole
Speaker 1: top ten when he dropped, like Bad Bunny is a
Speaker 1: huge star and his album is I'm on that Io.
Speaker 1: Sinti is also the second all Spanish speaking album to
Speaker 1: reach number one on the chart. The first was his
Speaker 1: twenty twenty album Utamo Tour dela Mundo right Spoiled Rabbit
Speaker 1: dropping the clues boxes for Rabbit Man. You gotta respect
Speaker 1: that man all right Now, Tiffany Hattish is teaming up
Speaker 1: a Snoop Dogg and Little Wayne for a new song.
Speaker 1: Here's what you had to say to Kelly Clackson. We
Speaker 1: really got to know each other when I did Snoop
Speaker 1: Dogg's Backgirls, a comedy for Showtime, which I think is
Speaker 1: now was on Netflix. I think ever since I'm always
Speaker 1: like Snoop, we need to do a song. Let me
Speaker 1: get in the music video Let's do a song, Let's
Speaker 1: do a song. So he was like, yes, since like
Speaker 1: bring something to the table. So I brought one song
Speaker 1: to the table and that's the theme song now for
Speaker 1: the They Ready series on Netflix, the comedy series that
Speaker 1: I did, um and now we just did another song
Speaker 1: called look Like And I can't wait for y'all to
Speaker 1: hear that. It's me, snoop let Wayne, it's firet me
Speaker 1: playing it, Yeah, me played, I play it right now, Flint,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna waited until my good sis Tiphany had it,
Speaker 1: says pushed the button. When she says pushed the button,
Speaker 1: I have it, play it then, no, knock it off.
Speaker 1: But remember when she did. Remember when she did the
Speaker 1: interview and she was telling the reporter, this is what
Speaker 1: money looks like. Yeah, she turned that moment into a record.
Speaker 1: All right. Now let's talk about the SmartLess podcasts. Now.
Speaker 1: The director Paul Anderson was on there and he talked
Speaker 1: about a role that actually was supposed to go Paul
Speaker 1: Thomas Anderson, a role that he actually wanted Leonardo DiCaprio
Speaker 1: for for but it ended up really jump starting Mark
Speaker 1: Wahlber's career. He had already been in I think like
Speaker 1: Cape Fear and Basketball Diaries, but this was the role
Speaker 1: that really put him on the scene. Besides being Marky
Speaker 1: Mark in The Funky Bunch. He was more known for
Speaker 1: that at that time. But here's what he had to
Speaker 1: say Boogie Nights. Is it true that Leo was up
Speaker 1: for the part but Mark got it, or Leo turned
Speaker 1: it down because he did Titanic, or is there any
Speaker 1: truth to any of that? S loves the Dirt, Paul.
Speaker 1: That is very true is that I asked Leo to
Speaker 1: be in Boogie Knights, and he spent many, many months
Speaker 1: agonizing and debating about it, and and ultimately, um, he
Speaker 1: chose to do Titanic, which of course, in the long
Speaker 1: run catapulted him to this massive worldwide fame. But on
Speaker 1: the other side, I think, what possibly, But I think
Speaker 1: it was. We laugh about it now, but he, you know,
Speaker 1: regrets missing the experience and doing it. I think the
Speaker 1: Titanic was the right movie. Yeah, I think you worked
Speaker 1: out for him. I mean, I guess you never know
Speaker 1: what's going to end up happening. And imagine being an
Speaker 1: actor and having two amazing roles on the table, but
Speaker 1: you have to pick one. Again, Bugey Knights. I've heard
Speaker 1: of a movie, but that's not as big as Titanic. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean it was big for Mark Wahlberg though, because
Speaker 1: then Mark Wahlberg ended up getting that role, and that's
Speaker 1: kind of the role that put him on the map
Speaker 1: as an actor too, So it worked out for everybody.
Speaker 1: I thought, Marky marking the Bunch put Mark Wahlberg on
Speaker 1: the map well as an actor. Oh is that acting? Yeah,
Speaker 1: as an actor, that's what we said earlier, because before
Speaker 1: that he was just known as you know, I was
Speaker 1: just playing. I just wanted to say that he was
Speaker 1: in the Funky Munch. Shut up the laying out at DiCaprio.
Speaker 1: I'm one. I asked you suggested him for Buggie Knights
Speaker 1: when he couldn't do it. So that's dough all right.
Speaker 1: Well that is your rumor reports. All right, thank you
