You know much money fifty didn't paid in child repoort? And and and But if you're listen, I'm with you. But I'm not defending fifty.

I'm listen. I'm just listening to what fifty said. Fifty said he's been trying to be in his child's life for the longest, but but the mother was keeping him away from the child. I don't know if that's true or not. That what the brother says, if he could get to court, if you could get the child repoort, why I go to court and say, yo, man, to

keep my kid aworking. But if your son don't want to see you, or your son don't want to talk to you, or allegedly they come to the house and then they don't answer the door and turn off the lights, the man said he didn't try. You know what I mean. It's but there's two sides of every story. But you know, I meant side of the kids side on the right side. Man. I'm just saying, man, we need to we should have. We should have, say the long head. But why are

I'm nearly going on for fifty said. All the things he became saying was that he he setting money, he's sending money. I didn't hear him really going detail on him, trying to spend time, spend time. I didn't hear. Now. He definitely said that. He said him in several cases he said, he said he was

chasing him his whole life. He definitely said that. But also too, I said, I didn't say it was easier. I said five things that are more complicated than buying a gun in Florida. And they say a marriage license is one up and that's a court to CBS News, Hello, who's this? Hey? Good morning guys. What's going on? Feast and blessings? Man? Hey, put the part of guy?

There was eighty schools that got that call on Friday. They need to do talk about union. But they said the one in Missouri that they had scurity guards, but in not arm. I think they need to arm the security guards for these days. Happened very much,

and they need to work metal. The deptives in office. You have to libated convenient. But we're talking about here. I'm with you. I'm with you. I don't know about arms security. I think armed security outside of the school, metal detectives all throughout the school. Like you really got to treat these schools like airports. Man, they got to be that intense when these kids are going through these doors. Absolutely, get it off your chest. Eight hundred five A five

one or five one when we come back. We got rumors hopefully you'll be here. If not, we'll figure something out. It's the breakfast clogal morning, the breakfast clubs. So you know, Kanye West is out in about he's doing podcasts. He's being asked questions and he's still talking. He's still talking. He talks about himself being canceled. I think about drop here. I ain't lose no money. They never take me nothing. Basically, do you think if he does, we're going through legal

right now, say anything can happen. I think people just try to score points, you know what I'm saying, Like Maverick Carter hand me going the show just to say we took him off the show. Then I go on drink Champs, then they take it down. The day when I was taking off the bliss Yaga site that was that was one of the most free in days. You know.

You know, we're about making product that's twenty dollars, the best design in the world, and that's the reason why we had brought the head designer from Leyadema, who's a great designer. That's why I brought him to the Gap in the first place, but they didn't allow that to happen. And that's why I had to get up out of those big corporations. I could get directly to the people.

He's full of poopoo. By the way, man, please, if y'all think that Kanye was, if this is something like master strategic plan to get away from all of these corporations, y'all are bugging well. He said, he's not canceled, but how are you okay? So Ever since his comments recall label good music no longer part of death jam, you gotta dropped by his new lawyer, but Lencia can stopped working with him. Vold cut Ties dropped by Cia with

a prominent Hollywood talent agency. Albums they say album by Kanye down twenty two percent through October twenty of no access to post on any social media platforms and JP Morgan bank cut ties when they don't want your money no more, bro, he said you yep, you said good music. You said Cia, you say his banking effort with him, no Instagram, no Twitter, and let's be Cleardidas is on the clock. I'm sure Adidas will be making their announcement

any moment now. And they got a lot of pressure because Kanye literally said on drink Champs he can say anti Semitic comments and Adidas can't drop him, which is one of the most ego fueled comments I ever heard in my life. And the fact that they are a German company founded by someone who was in the Nazi Party. They can't be a German company the home of Denazification and being bad with a Nazi like KK. Kanye and his ex wife posted this yesterday. She said, hate speech

is never okay or excusable. I stand together with the Jewish community and call it on the terrible violence and hateful rhetoric towards them to come to an immediate end. His other family members ex family members, I guess they said that. Let me just get this right. It's a whole lot of Kanye Ish. I support my Jewish friends in the Jewish people. That was from every Kardashian and I saw that in the household. I saw a boot

post that too. Yeah, ks brother box manager, Yeah said I support my Jewish friends and the Jewish people spread love. I seem d nice posted too, But I didn't see the oh Man When Justin the Boy posted Kanye gonna pass out? Think goodness, gracious. Well, it was on a podcast, Alex Friedman podcast and they too, Freedman Slex and they talked about some of the things that Howard Stern said about Kanye and this was his response, Boy, Howard Stern,

nobody wants to kiss you. To shut the fuck up, I said, by the way, I've antagonized you, Howard Stern. I used to be a fan of you. Now you're just doing clickbait like everybody else. Now you're just a saddle man, Howard. All right now, Howard Stern, this is the first time anyone's said your name in years. Your own family doesn't say your name unless they're calling to get their bills paid. You're going hard. I see. That's

beautiful right there. That's much better than calling Jewish media call go after individuals about you know what it's about that Kanye. Kanye sounds like he's talking about himself when he said that, Like that's how people feel about him, really call him when they asking for money. Well, no, they used to be fans, and I didn't think he's just a sad old man who's doing things for clickbait. Like you antagonize black people for clickbait. You antagonized Jewish

people for clickbait. Now you got to deal with the consequences of being an anti black, anti Semitic nazi. Oh. He also talks about why people love him people just in general. They love me so much. I'm like, actually a hard guy to really hate for a long period of time. It's just because, like because like my huge cock. And that's what I know. I didn't I didn't understand why he showed it to me when we first met.

But now I understand. Yeah, it's very nice. Congratulations. I've heard of a lot of rumors, but I haven't heard that. Sounds nasty. I'm just telling never heard Kanye had a big penis. Why would you hear that? Why why would you have when you talked about penis? But you know what, now, he wants that. He wants that, he wants that energy Pete Davidson getting out here. He wanted to be me too easy. You ain't about to be me too easy. Not it's MEDIPD, you know, Tesla figure Testling. Figirl coined

the term MEDIPD. There's MEDIPD. Ain't about to be no medio easy. I've never care anybody say me easy. I wish Kanye, he loved himself the way people love him. That dude don't love himself. That's why he can't love nobody else. He don't. He don't love black people. He don't love Jewish people because you don't love himself. He don't love the skin that he is. Let me just ask you that I'm telling that man seeks white validations so freaking what he I told y'all this, I'll tell

you all this all the time. He seeks white validations so much. Then he turned around and tried to be so pro black and then you know, y'all ride with it. What the reality is he don't love himself, so he could never love y'all. I tell y'all he was a clam months ago. Let me ask you a question. You know, and when we see this with artists and we see people say the wrong things, we see people get camped. So we see people there's a reason, like we could

point to it. What's what's his reason? Like why I have no idea if there ever comes up, there's a handbook of self sabotage. This is it? Like this is it? Like he did all of this to himself. He decided to put on you know, the White Lives Matter shirt antagonizing black people, knowing that, you know that slogan was

created by white supremacist hate groups. When black people started to affirm himselves with the term black Lives Matter, you know, he decided to get on Twitter and say, you know, he's about to go deaf Con three on Jewish people. He decided to go on drink Champs and you know, tell those lives about how George Floyd you know, uh got killed. You know. So it's just like he he made those eight what did he say? Slavery was a choice?

The words that are coming out of his mouth for a choice, I don't you know he got to deal with the consequences of those words at this point. You gotta deal with the consequences of being an anti black, anti Semitic Nazi. All right, Well that is Kanye Goodness gracious, that's who he is. Jesus Christ. Now you want to have a big penis. But that's all you got out of all this David and Peters rolls driving him crazy.

Now you want to have a big penis. That PENI is really upseting like that you're just randomly volunteering a n because of my big all right, Okay, I've never heard that one. All right, all right, well we have front page News next and Secretary Pete we'll be joining us this morning. All right, this is awkward. It's a breakfast clubgal morning, the breakfast club, Your morning's will never be the same. Everyone deserves to feel safe and protected at home, but some communities are more at rest for

deaths or injuries and residential fires than others. As a global leader in fire safety, Kidda believes this issue is caused for alarm. See how Kidda is promoting fire safety in all communities at costs for Alarm dot Org. Yeah, morning, everybody is DJ v Angeluye Charlomagne the guy we are the breakfast club. Has anybody spoke to her? Did she finally quit? Did she finally said you know it's over, I'm not coming in no more that will? I mean she did you know a few months ago there was

it breakfast club as we know, it is finally over? Maybe? And did she finally say effort your bull crap? Okay, I don't know. They say she's on the way, but I don't know what she didn't broadcast from the crew anyway, But let's get into the front. Come enjoy your last day on the breakfast club. All right, Monday night, but let Chicago Bears beat the Patriots thirty three to fourteen. All right, now, Tornado watched. They're saying thunderstorm mornings issued

in parts of Texas. They say it's about to get nasty. The weather's about to be severe in the States. So they're saying everybody please be careful. They saying, this weather's gonna be nasty from Dallas to Waco, to Austin, to San Antonio to parts of Houston, all right, or even here on the East coast. We've seen what rain the last three days straight, so the weather's pretty nasty. We got to send a rest in piece to Leslie Jordan. He died at the age of sixty seven, they said,

in a car accident. They said, he's best known from Will and Grace. Do you watch that? No, I never watched Wiland Grace. I mean I'm familiar with it, but I never watched it. Yeah, So man sixty seven nine a car accident. Jesus Christ, he passed away yesterday. And lastly, I haven't been following this too much, so maybe you could help us out now Florida governor debate between the Santis and Christ and Chris. I mean you debated Christ. Damn Jesus had to go ahead. Hold on, y'all got

Jesus running from governor of Florida. Y'all need it. I know Jesus body run to Santus in a beat, Christ and Chris. And now here's some of the debates. Charlie, I'm looking to put out the pasture is Charlie. Chris. Yeah, well, Ron, we know you love to bully people. And the little name calling you just exchange. I can take it, but you shouldn't do it when children are stand behind you at a press conference when they're wearing a mask. Didn't help.

But apparently that's your nature and that's too bad. Then they went back and forth about a bullshit about the hurricane response. The state's all going culture was rising Republicans' Future and a host of others. They also talk about stolen land. It Actually, if you look around the country, they do have programs. Unfortunately, well, they will take a student look at their race, say okay, you're white, you're

an oppressor. If you're black, you're oppressed, and think about what that does to a six or seven year old kid. That's wrong. You're seeing that you have people that are teaching and actually his running mate has said this in the past, that teaching the United States was built on stolen land. That is inappropriate for our schools. It's not true. It's the truth. What it's not inappropriate is the truth. Maddy also talk about race theory. He talks not teaching

about the history of our country. That might offend some people in our schools. We ought to teach facts in our school There's an old expression run those who don't know history may be condemned to repeat it. Usually people who use that in reference to the Holocaust. It could just as easily be referenced to slavery in our country. It happened. It's a fact. We shouldn't have a whitewash

approach to educating our children. How are they going to do well in life if they don't even know our own history and we're not going to teach people to hate each other in our schools. I don't have hate in my heart, and I don't think we need to be doing that in our school I just don't understand how Flawda does it. How Flawda says, you know what, the past. We the past is too hurtful. We're just not gonna go over the past and explain what really happens.

It's a lot of different places doing that. But wow, the reality of the situation is because it hurts somebody feeling to know the truth. Yeah, that's where less saw. The reality of the situation is um brond the Santis is still gonna when and become governor, be governor of Florida again. I think I saw Paul yesterday that shows Hispanic voters in Florida favorite the Stantus for governor like forty four percent or something like that. Oh my goodness,

that's crazy. All right, well that is your front page news. Now when we come back, Secretary Pete will be joining us. That's right, he'll be here, Secretary of Transportation of Pete ble to judge, I like Secretary Pete man because Secretary Pete is the only person from the Biden administration who consistently and constantly comes to the breakfast club, even when it's not an election year. Whenever he's in New York City, he pulls up to the breakfast club. Nobody else in

the Biden administration does that. It's diverse. It's the Biden administration is No, none of the black people from the Biden administration come up. He is constantly and consistently as Secretary Pete. But nobody came after they won. No, that's not true. Couple of Harrison come oufter? She want? Well, she came on TV show. No, let me see he's up here. Who else came? Cedric Richmond when he was there? I don't remember who else? All right, well, we're gonna

talk to secretary the Secretary of education. Um, yes, his name slips my mind right now? Great, yeah, yeah, what a great show. I started to say, Miguel uh huh, Miguel Pogona mcguel, huh Cardonaea. I thought I was kept thinking car Bone. But I'm like, that's the restaurant, Miguel Cardona. Yes, it's a great show with all the facts. All Right, we're gonna talk to secretary people when we come back. Facts, I said, who cares about facts? Oh my goodness, it's

the Breakfast Cloud Goal Morning, the Breakfast Club Morning. Everybody is te dj Envy angela Ye, Charlemagne the guy. We are to Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. Yes, indeed, the friends in the room. He's been up here several times. Listen, I say it all the time. He's the only person from the Democratic Party who comes during the off season, when when it's not an election year, even though it is an election year, but when it's not an election year, Secretary Pete comes.

That's right, Well, Secretary Pete, thank you for joining us this morning. Thanks for having me on. How are you man? Pretty good in New York? Absolutely too. I mean, this is a really exciting time for the work we're doing. So why do you like a position? You know, since you started, how has it been for you? Stressful and non stressful? Well, gray hair, tell us about it. Definitely more gray. I mean what I say is it's it's the best time but also one of the toughest times

for transportation. It's the best time because we're making investments that we haven't been able to do in my lifetime, the funding that's in the infrastructure package. The other side of the coin is we've actually been through more disruptions to the transportation system in the last couple of years than at any time, with the partial exception to nine to eleven. Then anytime since World War Two. We've had container shipping issues, We've had cancelations and delays in our airports.

We've had a number of disruptions everything from trucking and supply chains to passenger travel. But we've been working through those and the causes of those are mostly temporary. Most of it have something to do with the pandemic. So as we're tackling those issues, the investments that we're making, the repairs that we're making, the improvements that we're making to the transportation system, that's permanent. So I love the job.

It's been almost a year since the infrastruction, that's right. Yeah, I signed it in November. So what have the updates been? So one year in, we've been standing up all of the different programs that it created and starting to move the money out, something like one hundred billion dollars already moving in order to fix roads, fixed bridges, airports. We were just in Orlando. We're improving the airport there. We're

just in Detroit. We announced a project there. We're putting one hundred million in to help Detroit take I three seventy five, which cuts right through it. They destroyed a couple of neighborhoods when they built it, and it's just like a gash. It just kind of slices those mostly black neighborhoods apart from from downtown. We're going to lift it up and turn it into a boulevard and use

it to reconnect the community. We're doing a project in the Inland Empire Fontana, California, part of the region that doesn't get as much attention as LA. You got kids who have to walk basically on a highway. There's this road that has no gut or no curve, no sidewalk, and in order to get to high school, they're they're competing with cars and trucks, and we're funding an improvement that's going to fix that. We're doing the elimination of

railroad crossing. Literally hundreds and hundreds of projects, so getting those under way, who's been the work of the last year. It's a five year bill, so the Bill of Presence sign has five years of funding. We're just through year one and it's really I mean, it's still the very beginning of a lot of what we're working on, but

we're starting to see the results now. Secretary Pete, another issue always is this right making sure that black owned businesses also have access to getting some of those contracts to get this work done. So where are we with that, because I know that's something that's been needing improvement. Yeah, so a lot of work to do here, a lot of progress that we've made. The first part is the contracts that we directly control out of the Department of Transportation.

So we set a goal for STB Small Disadvantaged Businesses of twenty percent. There's a more ambitious goal than we've been able to set before, and so far we're beating that goal. But I have to say for every dollar that we contract out of the Department directly, there's about ten dollars that go out indirectly. In other words, we fund a transit agency like the MTA or a state Department of Transportation or a city that's rebuilding a bridge or an airport, and then they do the actual contracts.

So we're working with them to make sure that they are inviting more businesses to the table that haven't had a seat before. Black owned businesses have enormous potential right now to do all kinds of work, not just if they're directly involved in construction and engineering, but if you're involved in let's say accounting serving one of the companies that is doing the construction right there's opportunity there too.

So we're actually in the middle right now of the process of redoing the policy for dB disadvantaged business enterprises where there's a history of discrimination and we have legal authority to pay particular attention to creating opportunity there. You can go online. I know the website Regulations dot gov probably does not sound like what a lot of people are excited to check out on Monday morning, but there is a chance right now through the end of this

month to weigh in. If you're involved with a black owned business or any kind of MB your dB and you've had an experience trouble getting certified, a problem getting a seat at the table, or you have a success story to share about how public work, maybe being part of a construction project help you build your business. Now is a great time to enter public comments about your experience through Regulations dot gov on our DBE rule, because that will be part of what we use to make

decisions about how to update the rule. Bottom line, nobody has a better track record of creating jobs and opportunity for people who have been left out in the past, including women in construction, including black building trades workers, than businesses who are owned by people who've been left out of the past. And I'm really excited about what we can do. But it's not going to happen on its own. That's why we're putting a lot of effort and emphasis on it, and I think we're gonna have a lot

of results. I just sat down with the National Association of Black Women in Construction. They have incredible success stories about how they've created opportunity, but also about what it's like trying to get a seat at the table because there's been a pattern in the past where you kind of had to already be in the business, already be connected, already be doing business with units of government to feel like you were in the know about what the next

opportunity was going to be. So we're trying to make that more transparent. So I don't have any illusions about the work ahead. But I think we're going to be really proud of the opportunities that we create if we stay very focused on it. That's all you and philing how do you do that? Though you know, the conversation was about how do you diversify federal tracts in black and black and brown people? So how do you go

about doing it? So the first thing that we did just when we were there was talking about some of the challenges they faced. So for example, access to capital. If you're trying to get started or you haven't had these kind of big business opportunities, just being able to get capital funding or cash flow. Right, if you're a giant multinational corporation and one of your vendors takes two, three, four months to pay, or now one of your customers,

then you can absorb that. If you're a small business and a lot of these businesses starting out or businesses that are just trying to break their way in, they

need prompt payment right, stuff like that. So we're talking about those direct issues that can be on an obstacle, but also we've got to have conversations with the prime contractors that are bringing on a lot of these black owned businesses as subs about how to be more inclusive and how to get some of these subs to be in a position where someday they can be the primes.

We're talking to a lot of state leaders. I was at convening Friday in Florida with all of the state departments of Transportation in their heads saying that that you know, we're counting on you to create more of these opportunity.

So there's a lot of different pieces of them, but there's a lot of things that we're doing in parallel, including this DVE role that that I was just mentioning that we hope there's a lot of public input on because then we can actually update the formal processes around contracting, the way the directories are built, just even the expectation of the requirement that you check to see if there are any new minority owned businesses that could be doing

the work that you're about to open a contract for before you sign a contract. We got them all with secretary people. When we come back is the breakfast Club Good morning, Jay Envy, angelau Ye Charlemagne, the guy we are to Breakfast Club was still kicking it with Secretary Pete. You know, with the with the airlines, I mean, it's been horrendous. It's been horrible. People have been missing, you know, birthdays and weddings and funerals and families. What are we

going to do to fix that? I've gotten better though, yeah, I know, this is gotten better. The couples still bad, like you know, and like she said, prices are high. So what are we doing to fix that? Are they finding the airlines? And right, so what are we doing for Yeah, so it did get better, but it was tough over the summer. We got big holiday seasons coming up that are going to test whether these improvements are

going to hold. There's three sets of things we're doing. First, finds, so airlines are required to do things like offer you a refund if your flight gets canceled, and a lot of the airlines were slow to do that or they didn't do it at all. So we're subjecting them to find because we enforce that rule that you got to get a refund. That's part one. Part two, though, is the rules themselves need to be tougher. So that's another thing that we have in the process right now. It

takes a while, it's a very ponderous legal process. You got to go through a lot of comment periods, but we've got that open right now on things like raising the floor, how long of a delay counts as a serious enough delay that the airline's got to give you a refund? And then the third part that has really helped is it's just transparency. So we set up a website that makes clear which airlines will do what when you get stuck with a delay. For example, will they

give you a vatcher for a female? Will they book you on another flight? Will they look you on another flight even if it's only on another airline that there's a free flight, things like that. I wrote a letter to the CEOs of the airlines said, look, in a week or two, we're going to put this website up, So now would be a good time to fix your problem. Yeah, now it would be a good time to up your game.

And they did. We went in two weeks from zero out of the top ten airlines to nine out of the top ten airlines that will offer you at least offer you food or hotel or something like that. So you can check it out on our website transportation dot com. It's a passenger dashboard just to give you the information so you can make a decision when you're favorite. I want to ask for some time, what do you don't know it exists? I know you know what I learned When my bags get delayed coming out, if it takes

more than twenty minutes. You get Miley's credit, but you have you have to go in and ask for it, right, Yeah, yeah, you have to know that that doesn't follow any of this protocol. That's not give a nothing back. So i'd invite you to check the dad. I don't want to pick winners and losers here, but it's really interesting. We know we got a little green check marks, little red

xes on who does what? Look. Some airlines have decided we're going to offer less customer service and we're going to be really cheap, and as long as everybody knows that going into it, that's fine. But what we can have happened is, first of all, we have to have a floor where I don't care how cheap the ticket is. There are certain things you can do to a passenger, like leave them completely stuck and not offer a refund. But also as you're making those choices, we've got to

make sure it's transparent. We got to make sure it's clear. And we have more work coming up on things like these fees, these little extra fees that aren't part of the airfare, but you wind up paying for them, and that's part of the cost of traveling on a certain airline. They got to be upfront about that what was causing these flight cancelations and delays over to thumbody, you know. So yeah, like a lot of things in our economy, part of it had to do with staffing, hiring, being

able to find people. What's frustrating about that, I think for a lot of us is we put billions of dollars into saving the airline industry and one of the conditions was you can't fire people if you're taking this federal money. Now they lived up to that, but they let a lot of people go into early retirement, including pilots that are hard to replace. It takes a very long time to qualify a pilot. So when the demand came act and we're glad it did, I mean, it's

a good thing. It's a good sign for our economy that so many people want to fly, but it came back faster than they were prepared for, and our messages you've got to be We're glad that demand is back, but you've got to be prepared to service and tickets that you're selling. You're collecting money on this right. Another thing that we've talked about is scheduling, realistic scheduling, so if you know that you don't aren't going to have

the staff on this route. Doll schedule has many flights and that's gotten better, and that's one of the reasons we aren't seeing the cancelation rates, like you said. But the prices are so expensive now, prices through the roof so presses for the rest inflation. So how do we come on bad inflation now because people are not making much now, I'm like, this is ridiculous. Well, this gets to the bigger story, right, of all the different things where prices are high, and part of it is that

the costs are higher. I get that. I mean obviously one of the biggest expenses for an airline is fueled, right, But that's not enough to explain all of it. You look at the price of oil and the price we're actually paying at the pump, and the spread between those two things is higher than it used to be. And so we also have to have a cup conversation about a lot of corporate profits that are getting fatter on

the margin there. And that's a big part of what's happening across the economy that we need to talk about when it comes to inflation. Because we've got some friends in Congress, for example, on the other side of the aisle, who love talking about inflation but refuse to offer any solution. Can you still call those people friends? I'm being polite. It's a lot of fascism in there right now. Can

you call those people friends when they're democracy? Look, I think we need to call something what it is, and when somebody is threatening democracy, we need to call that out. I know that there are a lot of people, definitely in Congress, in the Republican Party, who are horrified by what's happened to their own apart speak out because they're afraid,

because they don't vote like they are afraid. Right, No, And so you know, my job as a policymaker is to sit down and work with them on anything where where they're willing to do the right thing, which they did. On infrastructure, for example, we had you know, a lot of Republican Senators and a handful of Republican House members come over and vote with Democrats and work with the

president on that. What are the solutions to regulating these corporations pack is getting fatter while everybody's paying more and not come at a Yeah. Well, on something like energy, we had an idea. President put forward an idea called use it or Lose It, which is basically, if you're sitting on these permits at these leases, but you're not doing anything to produce energy, then at a certain point

you don't get to keep sitting on it. That didn't go very far, largely because it was blocked by the allies that the big oil companies have in the House. In the Senate. We've got to have more again, more transparency about the practices of some of these companies, and we got to keep working toward a tax code that's fairer when it comes to these things. We think that the best thing we can do for inflation is create

breathing room for people. Right. That's why we cared so much about cutting the cost of prescription drugs thirty five dollars insulin. We could have had that and student Loanda absolutely right. That creates some breathing room when you're facing these higher prices on groceries, gas, you name it, even on for gas itself. Right. It's one of the reasons

why we're pushing to make electric vehicles cheaper. I'm not saying everybody can go get an EV tomorrow, but part of how we can give people alternatives is to make sure everybody can afford an EV. Some of the people who are beating us up over EV's being too expensive voted no on a bill that would have made them cheaper. That did make them cheaper. So we've got to look at who actually has ideas and proposals to create that breathing room because prices are going up here. Prices are

going up around the world. By the way, it's not like this is a US thing now. There are a lot of you know that many of the analysts the banks predict that it's going to go down, but we're not comfortable with that until it happens. It's why we're pushing to create a little more space, a little more room, and lower the everyday cost people are basing on everything from healthcare to housing, the transportation. All right, well, move we got more with Secretary peat when we come back.

Is the breakfast clubal morning ej Envy Angela Yee. Chalomagne, the guy we ought to breakfast club, was still kicking it with Secretary Pete Chalomagne. The pressure mounting for you and regarded the twenty twenty four because I know you said you didn't want to do anything else in government other than this. But the Democrats have a very weak bench, and I see how you move like, you know, you'll come to places like the breakfast club, You'll go to Fox News like you're talking to a big swap of

the American public. So it is it growing louder for Secretary Pete to run in twenty twenty fourth president? I mean, look, I already have a job, and we already have a president. So the best thing I can do is support this president that I really believe in, in the agenda and the vision that the administration has, and as long as he trusts me to do this work on transportation, try

to deliver on that. I mean, look, every job I've had, and I'm not trying to be cute about the politic I know there's a lot of political chatter that goes on, but every job I've had, especially in public life, the best thing you can do is just try to be good at that job, and then whatever you want to do next, you're going to be better off if you delivered. And delivering, you know to our earlier conversation is hard

as hell, but also incredibly rewarding. When you're working on stuff like, are you concerned with more celebrities coming up as being president and doesn't necessarily know politics, that really doesn't know what they're doing. We have another situation like in Donald Trump. Yeah, it's we're seeing a lot of this, right. I think there's something to be said for outsider energy. I came into national politics as an outsider, a different

kind of outsider. I was involved in policy as a mayor, but I was not part of Washington and I don't think you have to be, you know, a Washington lifer to be effective. But I do think you have to care about public policy. I mean, you see some people now who just don't seem like they care. And I think Kanye's running in twenty twenty four, God, okay, great, why not? Look In the end, I think what people most want to know is what do you care about?

And who do you care about? Question? When you do interviews right and you're not allowed to talk about things like the mid terms, how does that help Democrats in the midterms. I think the good policy is good politics. Like if we're doing things that make sense and we

can explain it, then people will appreciate that. And in that way, there's no difference, or there's not a lot of difference between coming out on a campaign trail and saying I think you should vote for this person, which is not what I'm doing today, and what I am doing today, which is saying, here's what we're working on as an administration. Here the policies we think are good. Some folks voted for it, some folks voted against it,

and this is what we believe in. It's odd, but is there for a very good reason, right, I mean, the reason we have these rules is so that you don't go out using the powers of the federal government and push a political outcome on people. So I respect it. We shouldn't you go isn't at the whole point, I can go put on a different hat later when my flight wasn't paid for by the taxpayer and talk about politics. I think it's okay to have those things be separate.

I think the important thing, though, is that I don't ever want to say something in one context that I would be embarrassed to have repeated in another context. So it's also just really important that we're consistent and we're clear about what we care about and what we believe in. Do you feel like Democrats are rising to the urgency at a moment because we know it as a real threat to democracy, and like the midterms are right around the corner, But it doesn't seem like it's a sense

of urgency coming from the Democratic Party about it. I think we have a sense of urgency. I think that sometimes something can be so big that it's hard to make it out and you actually have to break it

down into something smaller, if that makes sense. So what I mean by that is that the stakes for our country right now, in terms of our own democracy, in terms of our future, in terms of our standing in the world, they're so enormous that if you try to talk about it that way all day climate too, it's so exhausting that I think it can actually shut people down a little. Not on the right. Right wing media does it all day. Well, they say that the democracy

is about to be over, but they blame Democrats. That's true. And one of the things that I think is really important is that facts still have to matter. We have to make sure that there are actives actually such thing as true and false. And you look at what happened last January, you look at what's happening right now, with people denying the legitimacy of elections that actually happen. Where you know, part of how democracy works is when you lose,

you admit it, Yeah I've lost. Losing sucks, But part of your job is to acknowledge that reality. Because the whole idea of democracy is rules and policy choices that we all have to live by, and that means we all live by things we don't always agree. That's the whole that's the whole concept, right, But I don't think there's any confusion about what's at stake. I do think there's a need to connect all these big picture questions to very concrete things, and I think actually right wing

media sometimes is a little better about that. I have a TV in my office where I've got it's kind of splits into four quadrants, and I can see the three big cable networks, and I'm usually watching one broadcast, and every time I glance up at it, what you see on Fox is more of a story from a specific place that is meant to make you angry about this big picture fear real or imagined, and it just

puts you in a different state of mind. Whereas we I think on my side of the aisle tend to prefer to talk into the concepts the ideas, right, And I do think there's some work to do there. But that's part of what I love about my job, right, because there's nothing abstract about saying, Joe Biden signed this bill, and you're getting a better airport, or if you like

this new subway stop that's coming to your neighborhood. It's there because Democrats with a few Republicans helping out in Congress, in the House and in the Senate, voted on this bill. Send it to the President's desk, and he signed it in my department. Implement right, like this is happening in your life. This isn't like some conceptual debate about conservatism or free market princess. This is like, we're fixing this problem.

And I see the number one issue is the economy. Yeah, when it comes to the elections coming up, and so we can see who's voting for and against people to have more money in their pocket. Well, that's the thing I mean, I mean, let's look at the choice. And again I'm saying it's not election wise, but legislation wise. Look at the choices that are being made. Right, So the last administration their number one economic policy, those tax cuts for rich people, and they did it. It's one

of the promises they out. They didn't keep a lot of promises, right, didn't drain the swamp, and they didn't even build the wall. But they kept two promises, and those two promises represent two things they really care about. They kept their promise to cut taxes for the wretch, and they kept their promise to take away the right to choose. And what we're doing is working to keep promises. And I know there's some unfinished business in terms of promises that we've made. But we promised to get an

infrastructure build on and we've done it. We've promised to act in ways that would reduce child poverty. We've done it. The President promised to get people back to work after we lost millions of jobs. More people are working in the private sector now than at any point in American history. So I guess you could say both administrations back to back have come in with a set of promises. People

should think about which promises are kept. Like you say democrats are terrible that messaging, I mean, you didn't say that verbatim. You essentially say democrats I think we think in ways that we got to work a little harder to second message. But it's okay, that's what you're working on. It's okay to say that. Look, I hear you, I hear you. All right, we appreciate it, and thank you for always stopping through. That's pleasure. The secretary peat, it's

the Breakfast Club. Come on, more than everybody is cj Envy angela ye, Charlemagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Charlemagne and I, Hey, welcome back here. Hey, good to be here. Don't you quit?

Okay, my bad. I thought I

talked about it. Well, he been here, we know. But anyway, let's get the rumors to talk. A little bag going on. I'm going back home. But Little Baby is on the Big Facts podcast, and one clip that's already been circulating was him denying that he was in that photo with Sweetie. Remember, people said that she was sitting on his lap in a photo even though you can see his face. The Internet,

Twitter and Instagram detectives tried to take with him. Here's what he said that with Sep with a cargo pants, it's too hard to be little at whatever would I reader that anything? So I take whatever come with it. But I do have to lie because of that. Then I've been trying my best man. Somebody had on the same cargo pants and the same sneakers. Solo to the Big Facts podcast, Baby Ja Big Bank DJ Scream. Make sure you subscribed to him on The Black Effect. I

heart radio podcast network, great podcast, one of my favorites. Now. An Elie Chappa has clarified his sexuality after he posted a couple of pictures of himself and you could see his print in the picture. And then somebody sent him a message, and only Chappa said this is absurd, And the person who sent him a message was a guy and said, your d is huge, bro. No, gay Ish, that ish is an effing tree log. You knew exactly what you were doing in that post. No, Homo, your

Secondly, I love all, so I don't mind a tracting both genders, but most importantly my sexual preferences. Women, please stop trying to make me something I am not well. When you put your penis online for everybody to see, and then when I say everybody, I mean everybody. So men, women, whatever you identify your ass,

the printer is online, they can comment on it. Right. Have you ever sent someone the message like that. I don't have that kind of penis to be sending. No, I didn't say about yours. Have you ever said someone he's definitely said, have you ever told somebody else like no? You know, yes, yes, oh no, no, no. I definitely have no no because I mean no no. I tell the huge no. But you definitely, as I thought, you said a message about a man trying you and you had to let them know like noah, I don't get

down like that. Yes, I have never said all that. I don't know what y'all talking about now, but yes, I've had a man. I've had a couple of men dry me. I had to let him know, like nah, I can see why you might think that, but you know that's just the radio buddy. He's playing around a little bit. Okay, all right, Young BOYD never again has signed a deal with Motown. You know, he's no longer on Atlantic and so he has a joint venture with

a Motown and has never broke again collective. He said, I felt like I had a responsibility to my artist to make sure to find the right partner from my label. I'm looking forward to working with Ethiopia, Keino and Motown Records. To him dropping a clue box to Ethiopia, that's a big game. I don't know how Atlantic let that get away. Jesus Christ Kaiser Kaiser the Kaiser, the president of Black music over there. Yes he is yes, how you let NBA young boy get away? Kais I don't know, I

heard the all of him sixty million too. Yeah that was the reason. No, no, I heard atlantic him. I mean he makes a ton of money, you know, and he's very low maintenance as far as when it comes to having to pay for things for him. So he's always putting out music. Um, hard working young man. All right. Tyler the creator has been cast as Jesus and Netflix his Big Mouth season six. It's an adult and made a series, returning for a sixth season on Friday, October

twenty eighth. Friday. Yeah, it's Friday, October twenty eighth, Yes, all right, so um, yeah, congratulations to him. And it's cute if you see the character, the animation of him. And let's talk about Halloween. Okay, so Ice Spice has reacted to the Halloween costume of her. I don't know if you guys saw that there is a Halloween costume of her? She said, you guys went them? Well, she posted a picture of it, and what you did? You guys see the picture of her Halloween costume. Yes, it's

cute with the wig and everything that's real with the costume. Yeah, I don't not saw one of Eric Adams too that said he's a party promoter that don't do nothing. You know that one, No, it says ice spice on it. Nah, this is outrageous. It says I saw one just like that for Eric Adams, exactly what I saw A side of baby one that said Detroit rapper. That's what I'm saying. I don't think those are real. I mean, it really has her name on it. They just photoshops up. I

don't think that's real. I mean, I think it makes sense. I can see people wanting to wear that cost you. Look a look at this one from Eric Adams that looks real as and it got the spirit thing on there. The spirit thing that says club promoter includes nothing helpful. Adult side sounds like a Republican made that post and photoshopped it. All right, Well, that is your rumor report or New Yorker, a Republican or New Yorker who's not happy with the job area got him doing everything in

about party. Sometimes it's about people in the city not happy. There A lot of people are saying not happy. It's not I mean, I don't think anybody's gonna be happy with everything right, Come on, girl, No, I'm just saying I think nobody's ever completely happy with any politician. Oh that's a fact, especially especially if it's a local. You know, a position like mayor. The smallest thing can piss you off like a pothole. Yeah yeah, Well, who are you

giving a donkey to? Man four? After the dour speaking of politicians, Florida Governor rounderstand, this needs to come to the front of the congregation. Whenever there's an opportunity to tell some truth, we should tell some truth. So let's tell some truth this morning. All right, we'll get to that. Next is to breakfast club. God morning, the Breakfast Club.

Yes, you are a donkey to the latest on that police killing of a black man.

Not a new developments in the deadly spawshooting rampage. It was a really bad day for him, and this is what he did, and so we are in a state of emergency. Okay, White supremative violence is always has been the number one threat to aficide. But I'm also very proud that my wife was white. One club bitches, please tell me why was I your donkey? Every day Donkey Today for Tuesday, October twenty fifth goes to Florida Governor

Ron des Stantists. Last night, Ron Destantists was debating with Charlie Chris, the Democratic challenger for governor in Florida, and when it got to one of his least favorite subjects, critical race theory, he decided to end his debate on a low vibrational note. He said that teaching that the US was built on stolen land is inappropriate and not true. All the Native Americans are looking at the radio saying, huh, excuse me, Say what would you like to hear it?

Here it go it. Actually, if you look around the country, they do have programs. Unfortunately, well they will take a student look at their race, say okay, you're white, you're an oppressor. If you're black, you're oppressed. And think about what that does to a six or seven year old kid. That's wrong. You're seeing that you have people that are teaching and actually his running mate has said this in the past, that teaching the United States was built on

stolen land. That is inappropriate for our schools. It's not true. I will never understand why any lie is ever referred to as little and white. Okay, White men like Ron de Santis don't tell a little lies. They tell the biggest, boldest lies that America has ever seen. All right, even if you don't want to read a book, all right,

do your googles. I learned land was stolen from Native Americans in elementary school, which is exactly what they are trying to keep kids in the elementary school from learning now, all right. They are literally trying to revise history right before our eyes. This is like kk Kanye saying that that devil Derek Schauvin's knee wasn't on the cops neck like that, as if we don't have eyes we saw it. Okay.

It's one thing for people to do what they have always done with the story of Native Americans, you know, in regards to Native American dispossession, and that's just the sweeping under the ruck, all right, don't talk about it. Hope Native Americans don't talk about it, but to lie and say it never happened. Come on, man, put a record. Between seventeen seventy six and the present, the United States has seized about one point billion acres from North America's

Native people. All right, Some researchers have found that Native Americans have lost ninety nine percent of their historical lands in America. Maybe Roner Santris doesn't think it was stolen because it was done through legislation and treaties. But the treaties were reniqued upon okay, and the legislation resulted in Native Americans losing ownership in control of two thirds of their reservation lands. Now you got Native Americans trying to buy back land that was stolen from them. Can you

imagine that buying back what was stolen from you? Tribes trying to buy back there and land on the open market even though it was theirs. Hey, Roner Santras, if the land wasn't stolen, how come Native Americans have been running with the land back slogan. In Congress passed legislation to restore ownership of nineteen thousand acres of the National Bison range in Montana to a couple of tribes whose names I can't pronounce. I think the Seletion Kutara tribes. Listen, listen, man,

The truth is important, okay. And the truth is the truth regardless of who believes it, and a lie the lie regardless of who believes it. We need truth in America. Truth telling is essential for authentic communication to occur. And that's why we can't get nowhere in this country because everyone is so busy lying, so we spend all his time arguing about what's a lie, so we can never actually get to the truth for the matter, and the truth for the matter in this situation. His land was

stolen from Native Americas, all right, simple as that. All right? And guess what, America. We will never heal what we are not willing to reveal. All right. Please let Chelsea Handler give Ron de Santis the biggest he haw he haw he haw. That is way too much, Dan Mann is, but Kathy Griffin getting in on that too. Man. Please give this giant jar of male the biggest he hawy.

All right, Well, thank you for that donkey of the day. Now, when we come back April, Ryan will be joined, Okay, she got a new book out that she has a new book out. It's called Black Women Will Save the World and the anthem. Yeah, so we're gonna talk to her when we come back. All right, it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Heck power one O five one, the Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We

are the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building, April Ryan, Good morning, Good morning, Charlomagne. How are you? I ain't blessed Black and Holly Favorite. How are you feeling? I'm blessed Black and Holly Favorite? This one there, you got to see you Black Women will Save the World. But the title is self explainatory yes and no, but you didn't add the last part an anthem.

We're gonna sing it over and over, okay, anthem black women will save the World and an anthem okay, yeah, to keep it going, because what happens is people forget moments, and when we forget a moment, we lose out. And at the end of the day, black women are rising in number as head of household, rising in number as the breadwinner in a household. And with that said, we are taking care of everyone everything and not taking care of ourselves and not being heralded as a champion, as

a shero, and we are that. I know, those stats got to be flawed though. And the reason I say those stats are flawdas because they've always been the head of household. They've always been a it's rising in number, it's rising in number. And you know you got when when you have And that's saying a lot about the structure of the black family. Now you've got a mother who's the head of household, and then what do you

do is she's by herself and she's got kids. Sometimes we bring the kids along to help us fill in the gaps. And that goes into an issue that I talk about in the book for Black Girls, Adultification, you know, and you know, we may a lot of our children become more mature than they need to be. They lose out.

And it's so interesting. A friend of mine who's in the book for Drinka Newton, the widow of Hughey P. Newton, head of Black Panther Party, she said, you know, some kids are given fairy tales, others and nightmares, and I think all children should have fairy tales. And these are numbers that prove because I believe in the book It's black girls are eleven times more likely to be suspended yes than white girls in school, and nine times more

likely to be arrested yes. One. That is the adultification adult young girls, adultification that way in so many other ways. And it's just at this point we have to nurture not only ourselves but in the community. But we have to figure out how to help navigate what this world is giving to our young black girls who are future We're going to be the next hero, next generation heroes. Men are being honest with themselves. You got to say that the women have been the CEOs of our lives forever.

Say that men are covering and I still say that, you know, but we are strong in the home. We a lot of times to the decision makers. We are for the most part, having your back, you know, not just some of us. You know, take care of the dinner, some of us take care of the wash, but we

got your back and so many other ways. We have a hard time at work, but who's there A lot of times for us as we are taking care of the home, taking care of you, taking care of the boss at work, then go on to church and figuring out, you know, being the usher or you know, the choir member or the deacon ass and then going to the pta. I mean, it's so many, so many things we have

to juggle, and yet we don't get our flowers. And I think a lot of times we're also taught to kind of you know, endure, like you said, a lot of things. Yeah, especially in the workplace. Oh yes, And and I love you. I love your move I love your entrepreneurship, I love your business mind. You are not staying in a place that Okay, I'm stay here. You're

moving higher. You're looking for higher. And unfortunately a lot of black women don't have that, that sisterhood to say let's push it further, because they don't see people who look like you and I in the workspace. A lot of us are alone and cannot talk to other women. And I believe in community and sisterhood, so we can bring forward that move be another Angelay, come on now, now, let's talk about you in your space that you occupy. When we talk about being the only black woman's that

so people have some history on who April Ryan is. Um, I'm the only black woman. I'm the longest serving black female journalist in the White House. White House, Yeah, White House Correspondent. It's especially when you're focusing on black issues. It's a hard road and people want to isolate you. They want to call you the angry black woman. Do I look at angry? Shall thank you? I'm happy If you are angry, do you have every right to be?

But no, I'm not gonna fall into that angry black woman's stereotype because people want to say when you bring up issues of a community that's underserved with the highest numbers of negatives, and every cat should be but they want to label you was that instead of saying no, no, no, let's take a look at the steps, they want to divert attention from the real issue and blame me. What.

I have nothing to do with that. I'm trying to ask questions to get answers for a community that is hurting, and I just happened to be along the way, a black woman asking those questions. You've had those moments, some adversities you faced, the White House Correspondent, some adversities, Yeah, you saw it. Yeah, being told you know, sit down Trump. Trump told me sit down. Sean Spice says, stop shaking your head. Yeah, he wouldn't take your question because you

was shaking your head. He say that was crazy. Sarah Huckaby Sanders, who's running for governor of Arkansas, told me my question was and you know, been targeted by Fox News death threats. Just were asking questions of the Black community, a community that they didn't want to deal with. So and you know this, you know, the black community has issues period. And then at the White House. Everything comes to the White House from water, peace and everything in between.

And in between all of that is the black community who still is trying to figure out why is my water not safe to drink? Not just in Jackson, but in Flint still, you know, policing issues, you know, Ahmad Aubrey, George Floyd, you know we and then what about our economy?

You know, we're we When the gas prices were slashed a couple of months ago and the President opened up the Strategic or Reserve allowing for millions of barrels to be released today, guess what, Black folks didn't see that price loring because we were having price gouging in our community.

You know, you could go across the street and see a five dollars and something gallant of gas and across the street it would be four dollars, when in other parts of America was three dollars and some you know, gone gas buddy, And that's how you're really How about that that app I love that or cheap gas or whatever. Yeah, let me tell you, Yeah, I get it. What are you thinking about the treatment of VP Kamala Harris? Then, in relation to this book Black Women Will Save the

World an anthem? What I think about the treatment in the media and just by people in general speaking about her, Well, number one, being a black woman, people are hypersensitive about that. And some of the things that were coming out about her or about her staff or just unheard. It was just a lot of gossip and chatter and it was ugly because she was a black woman. Okay, no matter what you think of her, she is the first black woman to be in that position. She moved and I

talked about this in the book. She moved Joe Biden forward. She pushed him to move forward on matters of phrase. Did she though when she Okay, you don't remember that debate you don't remember remember that, but it was like after she did that, when she called him out on the bus, and it was like after that, it was like almost like she got a phone called it like and she kind of did a lot since well let me but let me say this, and I talk about this in the book. It was a lot of It

was a tense time. It was a huge moment that I witnessed at the NUBLEACP presidential Forum debate when all the candidates were there and she wouldn't get out of her her van to come and talk with all of the other candidates. She didn't come out and meet with Joe Biden. There was a tension there and Joe Biden was caught on a hot mic on stage with me saying you know my heart, you know my heart. He was hurting by it, and then backstage it was like you know my heart, you know my heart. Kamala Harris

was not seeing backstage she was. It was It was so tense. There was a come to Jesus moment. Somewhere, there was a road to Damasks moment or something for Joe Biden, because I never thought the way he felt that pain, that those two would come together for this moment. So something happened, there was a coming together. But what happened was George Floyd right, this was a transformational moment.

And then you had Amy Klobashar saying, you need to have a black woman as your running mate, and he had a list to include Stacy Abrams, Susan Rice, Karen Bass, so many other I want to give all them sisters the credit too, that did that for the USA today, That Angela Ry and Sonny and all, yeah, let's give them yeah, yeah, yeah, most definitely. And that pressure, it took pressure from all sides to make that happen. And you know, Sonny and Answer, they took a hit for that.

They took a hit and Enjoy Read and Tiffany Cross, they took a hit for that from the party, from the party for standing up, pushing for what was right, what was right. When you stand up and speak the obvious, you get ridiculed, you get pushed back. It's terrible. You have black women in Karine Jean Pierre, black women in spaces and places that we've never occupied. And that's just governmental. Let's talk about CEOs. Let's talk about the moves upward.

And this is a moment no one has said anything about. And I said, you know, I got a market because if you don't market and say, wait a minute, this is a moment of history, we lose the advances. Black women have taken a lot from a lot of different people, a lot of different groups, and now it's time to say we're here and we're not rolling it back. We got more with April Ryan. When we come back, don't move. It's to Breakfast Club. Good morning morning, Everybody's DJ Envy

Angela Yee. Charlomagne the guy. We are to Breakfast Club on this Tuesday. We're still kicking it with April Ryan. Charlomagne. Oh, as a journalist, you know, there's all these conversations about him. Of speech. I don't think people really truly understand the First Amendment because like you can, you can, you're free to say whatever, but there are consequences behind the defamation and libel. If you say something that someone doesn't like,

it could be consequenced. Kanye Alex Jones, well, no, his his the baby's mother for two hundred and fifty million dollars. That child has lost her father, That child is dealing with a lot. You know, Yeah, people are supporting her, but she doesn't have her daddy, and she will always remember, she will always see that horrific image of her father. I don't know if people are looking for attention, but we have a responsibility. It's not okay, we have a

responsibility as journalist. Um Tucker Carlson shouldn't have done what he did, having him on that show, and he was sitting there smug and watching it. He loved it because he was like, oh, this is ratings. That's all he was thinking in his mom because Kanye was giving him everything he wanted. He knew Kanye wasn't well. Chris Cuomo bring up the issue. You know, I take my antidepression medicine.

I don't know what you can do for Kanye, but what I know is I rather not talk about him, and I'd rather not amplify the ignorance of his message. How should we look at the role of journalism and how it impacts politics, especially right now mcause I don't feel like it's a lot of journalism out there. Are you reading the Grio? Are you reading My Peace? Can you read my stuff? Doctor Charlemagne? No, we got a newsletter.

You know what. See, He's so high and lofty. Go to the gril dot com and look at the politics section that April Ryan dropped down. Yeah, a lot of people have platforms now who aren't necessarily journalists. Yes, and that's the unfortunate piece, because we have a lot of citizen journalists out here who give a lot of opinion without facts. And that's part of the problem. Are we are so uninformed and we're not believing what we're seeing because so many people are talking things that are just

not true, giving us information that's skewed. The onus is now on the reader, the listener, or the watcher to figure out what is opinion versus fact. The line is blurred. And then because you've got a lot of people out here who are just pushing things out for to make themselves, to make a name, to be on the breakfast club, or to just push a narrative that's not true. And

it's a sad time. I mean, the greatness of social media, the greatness of technology is everything, but when you have people abusing it because it's so open, we have anyone jumping on t it's true. Do you agree with seeing the moving away from opinion based commentary to more what they say what they want fact based news. I think it's a good idea because we are so as you guys just pointed out, we are so confused about what's what. I think a lot of news organs. I think there's

a moment for opinion. I do. I do believe there's a moment for opinion. But I also believe there's a moment for fact. But we have to differentiate between the two. And there's gonna be a lot of people getting in trouble because I'm telling you, Miss Ryan, they do not know the difference. I was literally having a discussion yesterday with somebody about the whole George Floyd Kanye thing and it was like, well, why is he getting sued for

his perspective. I'm like, it don't matter what your perspective is when something has already been established as a fact. He has a large platform, and what he says speaks volumes to a larger and broader community that wants to downplay and change the narrative and the impact of that, that's what it is. The impact. It's not the fact that he's just Kanye. The impact of what you're saying it's devastating, and who you're giving it to where you're

getting it from. You're just repeating white supremacist rhetoric, the same rhetor that they who's to try to get this guy off. He's repeating it from Candace Owns his new best friend. So a documentary that I never watch. Do you think it's important to watch things? No, don't know. Yes, it's important that I see what's out there so I can be informed, like coming here, you know who knew we were gonna talk about him? But you know, but

I haven't watched her documentary. I don't want to watch her document right because I already know the basis of it. I've talked to people in George Food's family. I've talked to people in the community. I've talked to people who were there when it happened. I've talked to Keith Allison, the state attorney general. I don't need to hear Candice Owens, you think people like attention from being a contrarian and saying things that especially as is it attention or are

you being paid? Well? Is there a benefit of payoff for you? You know? I mean if you are this juxtaposed to your own community that you went into and ask for help from the NAACP for something that happened to you many years ago, and then you go polar opposite. You wonder why. I mean, it's it's more than attention, right, It's got to be more than attention. M Well, Brian, the world. You know, like Bishop td Jakes told you,

I hope that you are celebrating myself. Thank you, and I love that you came in here and you, you know, gave me, uh you know, just lifted me up. And I want to make sure we do the same thing for you. I mean, thank you, sister. Black women will save the world. An anthem, thank you. It's a Brian. It's the breakfast Club, the breakfast Club. It's about Angela need the breakfast Club. Well. Adidas has officially ended their

partnership with Kanye with immediate effect. They released a statement today saying they do not tolerate anti Semitism and any other sort of speech, and his recent comments were unacceptable, hateful, and dangerous. Adida said they violated the company's values of

diversity and inclusion, mutual respect, and fairness. Now, sales and productions of those Easy branded products have stopped, as well as payments to Kanye and his companies, they're going to take a two hundred and forty six a million dollar hit to their fourth quarter sales because of this. They've

been partnered since twenty thirteen. That's when Adida signed that deal and got Kanye away from Nike, And in twenty sixteen they expanded their relationship with Kanye, saying it was the most significant partnership ever created between a non athlete and an athletic brand. But after he wore those White Lives Matter t shirts in public, they actually had the partnership under review and they said that is a hate slogan used by white supremacist groups included the Ku Klux Klan.

Then when Kanye said I can say anti semitic ish and Adidas cannot drop me on drink champs, that's when they said yes again, my friend. That's one of the most egal fueled comments I ever heard in my life. Like, if you think that German company found about someone who was in the Nazi Party was gonna hold on to you after that, then the levels of narcissists you are can't be defined. You can't be a German company. The home or denotification and being bad with a Nazi. We

already told you. But Lanciaga cut ties. Vogue magazine publicly cut ties. His talent agency CIAA dropped him as a client. The production company MRC that was doing a documentary on him said they are shelving that documentary. Shares of Adidas fell after this news about five percent, and frankfort Yeah, they said that yesterday. Though that's what I see. I hear when people and it's not you, but I saw

somebody else say that. But yesterday we actually four days ago, they were saying how Adidas dropped ten percent, and then yesterday they had dropped as well. Because but they didn't have nothing to do with Kanye. Well, I don't know what it has to do with Butane and maybe it does. I read, I read, I read it, but I can't brief it over the radio that fast. But it wasn't nothing to do with or something to do with something going on in China. Well, anyway, they and I'm sure

that today we'll see sales job as well. You might see. I mean that two hundred and forty six a million dollar hit is a huge hit for a duty to take in the fourth quarter. Yeahs, regardless of whether it's kind of the effects of that is going to make the shares drop. All I know is this is one of the biggest els black man ever took in business, and it's all self inflicted. This is self sabotage at

his finest. All of this literally happened for no reason, just a series of poor choices, all rooted in bigotry, anti Black, anti Semitic bigotry. And I pray that this is the wake up called Kanye West needs to literally go get some healing. That brother is hurting and hurt people, hurt people. But that's not an excuse because he has access to every single resource available to get some healing. And I pray he gets it because he's really moving like a person who doesn't plan to be hit much longer.

All right, now, let's talk about Black China. She's threatening legal action against Aba Louise, who is a TikTok star who is accused of Black China of trying to kidnap and sex traffic her. Now Aba Louise, by the way, according to this letter that Black China's attorney, JD. Sanchez has sent out as a cease and desist. They also said that Able Louise has made false, extreme and outrageous statements about Black China in public, and rips her for

displaying a pattern of menacing an outrageous conduct on social media. Previously, Able Louise is the person who admitted to making false statements about Kanye was hooking up with Jeffrey Starr, the makeup guru and you YouTuber. So here is what Aba Louise was saying about Black China that's causing this lawsuit. For six hours trying to help me hastage, she drank an entire bottle of cast Amigos in front of me.

She wouldn't let me be alone. Every time she had to use the bathroom, she would make me go into the bathroom with her. She took in front of me. She forced me to take a wet towel and wipe off all off my makeup. She kept telling me that I had to stay until ten am because that's when Dream was going to be out of the home and she was going to go crazy on me at ten am. She kept saying things like that. At about nine forty five am, trying to FaceTime some woman named Donna who

told me she was in the escorting industry. On FaceTime, and told me that I was good product. All right. Like I said, Black China is refuting these claims and allegations and has a sea synthesist and is threatening now to sue. Those are serious allegations to put out about somebody, all right now.

I'm Angela Yee and that is your room of Reports. Yeah, and just to be clear, like you know, because I saw this yesterday, Adidas stock has been dropping over the past few days, though it was not immediately clear if the decline was directly linked to what's his controversy, because they were trying to say that the stock was plummeting because they refused to cut ties with Kanye West over anti semitism. So it's not because they release them the

data to stocks dropped. All right, all right, well, thank you for that Room of report up next to the People's Choice Mix. Get your requesting. It's the Breakfast Club.
