Speaker 1: at Lauren, and then I just looked, you look so
Speaker 1: pretty today. Look today. I only get dressed for you guys. Well,
Speaker 1: at least in the face. I got on sweats. There
Speaker 1: is a saying that it's a universal truth. It's impossible
Speaker 1: to not be a beautiful woman if you graduate from Spellman.
Speaker 1: So that's like people people know that that's just a
Speaker 1: period period. I love that. That was an ass kissing lane.
Speaker 1: If I've ever heard O. That's just one of those
Speaker 1: things they say, good morning Black History Month. So let
Speaker 1: me let me give you all a tad bit of
Speaker 1: black history from my perspective. I at atually I'm part
Speaker 1: of history because I was the first transgender stand up
Speaker 1: comedian to ever do comic view. Now, I wasn't the
Speaker 1: first drag comedian to do comic view because because Amazing
Speaker 1: Grace made she Rest in Peace also did she did
Speaker 1: def Jam and she passed on. But yeah, I'm the first,
Speaker 1: the very first, And I remember how it literally upset
Speaker 1: the room, as in the comedy was good people, uh flame.
Speaker 1: People are always surprised by the first of anything, and
Speaker 1: then when it meets and exceeds their expectations, they're like, well,
Speaker 1: I didn't know that was gonna be that funny. Well
Speaker 1: what did you expect? You know? So yeah, this kind
Speaker 1: of touches onto what Joe was talking about, how there
Speaker 1: used to be theme nice for different things like that. Well,
Speaker 1: in two thousand and four, I was on the circuit
Speaker 1: here in the l A and uh Chris Spencer, I
Speaker 1: know if you guys remember him, he hosted a show
Speaker 1: called after Dark and something years ago. He's a comedian
Speaker 1: and actor. He made a phone call to a producer
Speaker 1: Joyce Coleman and BT and say, hey, I want you
Speaker 1: to put this person on the show. Just like that,
Speaker 1: I have to audition on anything. When I got there,
Speaker 1: they were terrified of me. They actually tried to push
Speaker 1: me as a woman. In two thous I'm like, now,
Speaker 1: I've been a lot of things, but I ain't gonna
Speaker 1: pass as nobody's a woman. Y'all know if the body
Speaker 1: was banging and I was young and slam, but I ain't. Look,
Speaker 1: I was never one of the possible girls. And I
Speaker 1: accept that part about me. I was cool with that
Speaker 1: because you know, if you came to play you had
Speaker 1: to play with everything. But anyway, they were so terrified
Speaker 1: of what I was gonna say and how people were
Speaker 1: going to receive me that they would not push me
Speaker 1: as because BT back then in two thousand and four
Speaker 1: as a trans comedian, because they was like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: we're terrified, what are you going to talk about? Woo woo.
Speaker 1: So I'm like, just sit back. But that was the
Speaker 1: show that Ricky Smiley hosted. And he came in my
Speaker 1: dressing room and held my hand and say, you're the
Speaker 1: first one. Go out there, do your thing, have a
Speaker 1: good time to represent. And that made it all better
Speaker 1: because I went out there and I killed it, and
Speaker 1: you know, the rest is his and here we are,
Speaker 1: here and in flame. For those who don't know who
Speaker 1: Ricky Smiley is, give us a little bit of background
Speaker 1: because everybody should come ago knows rookie. But I'm not
Speaker 1: sure that everybody who may be listening and chiming into
Speaker 1: laugh and learn. Ricky is a comedian from Alabama, has
Speaker 1: a radio show. What is the radio show called Morning
Speaker 1: and they have the other one the dish, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: So and Ricky was just he was just a cool dude.
Speaker 1: I'm telling it. Makes it easier when your constituency that
Speaker 1: work with you except you for who you are and
Speaker 1: not what they want you to be. And that that's
Speaker 1: all that was. That year was great. The next year
Speaker 1: didn't go so well because it was a different hose
Speaker 1: with a different energy. Energy is very transferred. Butle y'all
Speaker 1: need to know that energy is transferred. He transferred good
Speaker 1: energy to me. I transferred to the TV. After that,
Speaker 1: they was in love with me. Talk to us, talk
Speaker 1: to us about this week as we're going here, because
Speaker 1: you've had a busy week and what we all have Lauren,
Speaker 1: Lauren has been working, You've been working. I taped um
Speaker 1: we did the second year of my second year. This
Speaker 1: was their third year of the hf's International Condom Day campaign.
Speaker 1: That's just how that's how I met Lauren. She was
Speaker 1: over that last year and this year they we couldn't travel,
Speaker 1: so we did a video, which was much harder than traveling.
Speaker 1: Taping is harder than life theater and let me just
Speaker 1: saying that and tell them why though, because you have
Speaker 1: to redo and redo and retake an over and know
Speaker 1: and they had to get a certain visual shots. But
Speaker 1: that wasn't even the most challenging part. The most challenging
Speaker 1: part was I had to do stand up no audio.
Speaker 1: I couldn't even see me talking to me. So they
Speaker 1: were in the room, but they couldn't make a sound
Speaker 1: because the audio picked up everything. So I was trying
Speaker 1: to tell stories and jokes to entertain myself, but I
Speaker 1: couldn't even see the look on my face. So it
Speaker 1: was very challenging. But you know, I'm a professional bitch.
Speaker 1: I brought it off, baby because it was a check
Speaker 1: right side checks, and so much about live performance too,
Speaker 1: was about that feedback immediately, and you couldn't get that.
Speaker 1: You couldn't well, I didn't have a bait. I love
Speaker 1: the fact that you're learning to hear, because y'all bait me. See,
Speaker 1: I had to. It was just go go, I'm not
Speaker 1: I'm a warman bach. You gotta I gotta seaze into it.
Speaker 1: It's like getting sex without the warm up. I ain't
Speaker 1: no gold go what is the hell's go? Jump? No one?
Speaker 1: You don't you count the three or don't you look
Speaker 1: back at something? Go? I'm like, okay, But we made
Speaker 1: it work, and when it comes out on February, it's
Speaker 1: going to be visually beautiful. Those were some of the
Speaker 1: most talented children from this year and let you those
Speaker 1: kids good dance amazing. So you guys, it's going to
Speaker 1: be free. It's going to be live stream on HFS website.
Speaker 1: I'll have all the link and all the information EP
Speaker 1: as soon as I get it. And you you should
Speaker 1: watch your free I mean you should watch it that
Speaker 1: night because once they put it on YouTube, they might
Speaker 1: monitor the music and you won't be able to here,
Speaker 1: and so it won't have the same effect we do week.
Speaker 1: And we do want to remind everybody because I can
Speaker 1: see some of the flame Thatt's sounding off that if
Speaker 1: you want to join the conversation, jump on in there.
Speaker 1: Make sure you're sitting in good light, you've got those headphones,
Speaker 1: and that you use a flame at the bottom so
Speaker 1: that we know that you're ready to join the conversation. Uh,
Speaker 1: My week was simple. Lauren and I had a chance
Speaker 1: to catch up also because we were talking yesterday Lauren,
Speaker 1: you and I talked about how we're just trying to
Speaker 1: find different times too in a busy day, still work
Speaker 1: out and um and so you know, mornings are my
Speaker 1: are my time. Like I really enjoyed the mornings I've
Speaker 1: always been a morning person, though, even when I was
Speaker 1: a morning reporter, I enjoyed being up four in the morning,
Speaker 1: five in the morning because it's just quiet, and it's
Speaker 1: just that nobody cares. If you're listening to old Vanessa
Speaker 1: beil Armstrong song. You know, it's just it's just you
Speaker 1: and and and God. You know, you're just in your
Speaker 1: in your zin space, you know. And whatever happens to
Speaker 1: be stressing me on my mind, maybe the night before
Speaker 1: that day. When you get up that morning, you start
Speaker 1: moving and exercise and for some reason all just comes together.
Speaker 1: It really does, yeah, for sure, And I think for
Speaker 1: me too. On a selfish note, I like working out
Speaker 1: at six i am because I wake up at four
Speaker 1: thirty and then I drive to where my trainer is.
Speaker 1: There's just no traffic. I hate traffic. So that's really
Speaker 1: my motivation and honesty. But on Sundays I started doing
Speaker 1: a beach workout one because you know, that person said
Speaker 1: I was snacking. So I'm trying to make sure y'all
Speaker 1: can't talk about me anymore. Um So I took the
Speaker 1: snacking comment. I have been working out, But to your point, though,
Speaker 1: it is it helps me get back into the groove
Speaker 1: of things. I have a new energy, and you know
Speaker 1: it gets through the day. I hate breaking up at
Speaker 1: four thirty, but I am I am not a part
Speaker 1: of this conversation working out what that means. I got
Speaker 1: hand the mouth. But you're a morning person. You are.
Speaker 1: I am a morning person. But I'm not going to
Speaker 1: the gym. I'm not going. I'm working out for the
Speaker 1: both of us. What's happening. I lost a couple of
Speaker 1: pounds because they had me dancing, and here we had
Speaker 1: four twelve hour days. I had twelve hour days with
Speaker 1: ten our heels, with six hour legs and four our feet.
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's like that, which kind of leads into
Speaker 1: my next point, flame twelve hour days. But you kind
Speaker 1: of had a little bit of vacation, if I'm not wrong,
Speaker 1: because the two of the teenagers are gone, the Lord,
Speaker 1: my daughters are gone. Drama one and cross Dresser to
Speaker 1: is not in my house right now, and my house
Speaker 1: is where we free and my son has been very responsible,
Speaker 1: So thank you Jesus for the break. They'll be home Monday,
Speaker 1: but I'm enjoying my time. Where they gone? Any who,
Speaker 1: where are we going? Where we're going? I want to
Speaker 1: make sure we recognize Cecily Tyson. That's what we're gonna
Speaker 1: do before we jumped into anything else there um with
Speaker 1: it being uh yesty month, but also we knew that
Speaker 1: we want to recognize her. Yeah, and I just want
Speaker 1: to do make a quick quote from what Viola Davis posted.
Speaker 1: It just really spoke to me. Um. She made an
Speaker 1: Instagram caption just to honor the relationship that she and
Speaker 1: Cecily Tyson had and just the phenomenal life that she
Speaker 1: led in this movie industry. So Um, she basically just said,
Speaker 1: you gave me permission to dream because it was only
Speaker 1: in my dreams that I could see the possibilities in myself.
Speaker 1: I'm not ready for you to be my angel yet,
Speaker 1: but I also understand that it's only when the last
Speaker 1: person who has a memory of you dies that you'll
Speaker 1: truly be dead. So she said that to basically say,
Speaker 1: she's going to live on forever because she touched so
Speaker 1: many lives, She influenced so many people, and just broke
Speaker 1: so many barriers. So she will be in our history
Speaker 1: books to say the least. And um, we honor and
Speaker 1: cherish her memory and all that she did for us.
Speaker 1: So thank you Cecily Tyson, absolutely, you know flame you
Speaker 1: and I've had a chance to talk about before, um
Speaker 1: because we're a little bit older. You and I remember
Speaker 1: Autobiography of Ms. Jane Pittman when it first came out.
Speaker 1: How seminal that movie was. And I think it's one
Speaker 1: of those things where we've also heard people say, give
Speaker 1: people their flowers while they're here, and I'm glad that.
Speaker 1: I do believe from what I can see, because I
Speaker 1: didn't know Miss Tyson, of course, but from the outside,
Speaker 1: it seems as though she was allowed to get her
Speaker 1: flowers while she was here. Seems like she was celebrated
Speaker 1: by so many African Americans whom's whose lives she touched,
Speaker 1: who were able to bless her, um and in different ways,
Speaker 1: you know, as a professional and as the accomplished actress
Speaker 1: that she was. She made a lot of movies too.
Speaker 1: We only know her mostly from some of the new
Speaker 1: The newer generation knows her for the Tyler period stuff.
Speaker 1: But Sounder, you know, she was in Sounder with what
Speaker 1: was the guy's name from Sounder. He was a great actor.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I cannot think of his name, but
Speaker 1: he was a great at Paul Winfield. He had the
Speaker 1: best speaking voice. Oh my god, he had the most
Speaker 1: amazing voice. And uh, that was a great movie back
Speaker 1: in the day. And she was just she lived to
Speaker 1: be nineties six. So when you would get to Holland
Speaker 1: who it's so said, and it is said, the passing
Speaker 1: is happening. But you know we're all gonna die. We
Speaker 1: all have to die. It is not about dying, and
Speaker 1: this is definitely about living. She lived a good life.
Speaker 1: The Bible promises seventy years if you live according to
Speaker 1: the Bible, anything after that is a blessing. She got
Speaker 1: twenty six years after that as a blessing, So hats
Speaker 1: off to you. And she always looked good. Let me
Speaker 1: tell you something, Millie Jackson said, when you look good,
Speaker 1: you know you're looking good. Don't nobody have to tell
Speaker 1: you you're looking good. When you're looking good, you've got
Speaker 1: a different walk. She was ninety six years old and
Speaker 1: she could still get around and walk. You know how
Speaker 1: many people ninety six can do nothing? Ms? Ms, what's
Speaker 1: her name? Since cinccely Tyson because my man just won't blank.
Speaker 1: Sincely was making her corn perst baby, but sister was
Speaker 1: making her change and looking good. And she always was
Speaker 1: a grand lady. She was always a grand lady. You
Speaker 1: know that. That's that's especially as an older black woman,
Speaker 1: because you get older, you get complacent. But I love
Speaker 1: the fact that whatever era she was from, she always
Speaker 1: dressed up. I always dressed up for work. And if
Speaker 1: you'll remember, it wasn't a couple of years ago and
Speaker 1: one of the flame maths will remember, but she wore
Speaker 1: a hat to somebody's funeral and that became a meme
Speaker 1: because she wore one of the uh it became Cecily
Speaker 1: Tyson's church hat became like a meme. And I can't
Speaker 1: remember if it was Michael's funeral or maybe it had
Speaker 1: to be more recent than Aretha, But I just remember
Speaker 1: her hat and her the way she the hat that
Speaker 1: she wore still in the show, and everybody talking about
Speaker 1: Cecily Tyson's hat. So yeah, I'm glad. I hope I
Speaker 1: pray that she I don't know what you did different today,
Speaker 1: but not only do you look better, you sound good today.
Speaker 1: You you very clear you took a bath or something.
Speaker 1: Working with my producer Triuble, and I've been working on
Speaker 1: the audio to make sure it's right. So shout out
Speaker 1: to trouble. Kendall told me where to sit, and I'm
Speaker 1: using the window instead of using an artificial light. Sore.
Speaker 1: So that's what it was. Very professional. I don't care
Speaker 1: what they say about. Well, hey, maybe my mama watching
Speaker 1: mom a is you there? Mom? Rot peking in baby
Speaker 1: this week too, y'all got me. I found they gotta
Speaker 1: be And I'm no longer sleeping on the floor. Weapon
Speaker 1: on the floor for how long? Not on the floor.
Speaker 1: You were sleeping on the mattress. People, was on the
Speaker 1: damn floor. When you owe and you got to get
Speaker 1: up out the bed and it's too low. It's like
Speaker 1: a task. It's like when you get in a car.
Speaker 1: That's why I drove to drive trucks so I can
Speaker 1: step out. Getting in the car is one thing. Getting
Speaker 1: peeling yourself out, you know, you have to roll out
Speaker 1: sometimes just harder. So I have a bed and I
Speaker 1: broke it in yesterday, Thank you very much. I want
Speaker 1: to kind of start today with one of the things
Speaker 1: we were talking about, you guys, uh that we saw
Speaker 1: hit the headlines, and that was just the effect that
Speaker 1: COVID continues to have on the economy and on the community.
Speaker 1: One of the things that I read this week that
Speaker 1: I found, uh kind of interesting because it just never
Speaker 1: even dawned on me, is the cost of COVID and
Speaker 1: how it's affecting nursing homes. Most nursing homes say that
Speaker 1: they won't be able to stay open another year due
Speaker 1: to the cost of the pandemic because they weren't expecting
Speaker 1: to have to pay the overtime, the ppe, the clean up,
Speaker 1: and the way they've had staff members get sick and
Speaker 1: they can't have, uh, two staff members now service the
Speaker 1: entire ward. You have to limit the interaction different people have,
Speaker 1: and they were not anticipating these costs. And the reason
Speaker 1: I mentioned that is that so many of us rely
Speaker 1: on nursing homes to take care of our older relatives. Uh,
Speaker 1: there are a lot of people who depend on nursing
Speaker 1: homes to be that caregiver to their loved ones. And
Speaker 1: I think this may have a detrimental effect, you know,
Speaker 1: on a lot of people down the road that they're
Speaker 1: just not expecting. Yeah, and I think it's something unfortunate.
Speaker 1: Like up, speaking from personal experience, my great grandmother, like
Speaker 1: I've said before, she turned a hundred and one in January. Um,
Speaker 1: she actually had a live in a because we didn't
Speaker 1: want to put her in a nursing home specifically. Um.
Speaker 1: But even with that, you know, when COVID hit, she
Speaker 1: couldn't be there anymore. So my grandmother went and got
Speaker 1: her because she's only like five blocks away from her
Speaker 1: and she's been living with her. So it's really unfortunate that,
Speaker 1: you know, COVID has caused so many economic issues, and
Speaker 1: we're at the point now where you know, to your point,
Speaker 1: we can't have you know, nursing homes may not be
Speaker 1: an option, and everybody can't have the capacity to have
Speaker 1: the relative living with them. So it's just it's just
Speaker 1: an unfortunate situation to be in at this point. You know,
Speaker 1: it's about to be a lot of golden girls situations.
Speaker 1: Understand that a bunch of old folks about to be
Speaker 1: living together. Y'all need to know that it's about to
Speaker 1: be a bunch of golden girls situations. That's it, Um.
Speaker 1: I don't even know if I want to be put
Speaker 1: in the nursing home. You wouldn't if I'm on one
Speaker 1: of those machines and just pull the plug, honey. I
Speaker 1: don't want to live like that. I don't want to
Speaker 1: body wiping my button and changing my drawers. I don't
Speaker 1: want you to do. I'm very independent. I don't want that,
Speaker 1: so I would rather you just get rid of me, honey,
Speaker 1: just throw a bit in a can or something. I'm good.
Speaker 1: I think it's uh, you know, it's it's it's part
Speaker 1: of that whole uncomfortable conversation you sometimes have to have
Speaker 1: because you and I both know you also have relatives
Speaker 1: who get a little bit older and they still want
Speaker 1: to be so independent that they try to drive on
Speaker 1: their own, or they do different things, and you don't
Speaker 1: want them to be vulnerable or susceptible to crime or
Speaker 1: somebody coming into the house who does not have their
Speaker 1: best interests at heart. So all these things are just uh,
Speaker 1: I think the best way around it. And you know, again,
Speaker 1: flames can chime in, but I think the best way
Speaker 1: to do it is to have that conversation with your
Speaker 1: loved one, to say, hey, what do we do um
Speaker 1: in different situations? What do you want when they what
Speaker 1: if they're not and they write from a man, they're
Speaker 1: not gonna know what to do? Let me tell you something.
Speaker 1: What's the man? Y'all? Keep it in Harrison for old
Speaker 1: as flat planes. Take the damn keys. Just taken against Harrison.
Speaker 1: I love Harrison food, but keep he's not gonna keep
Speaker 1: crashing planes. How many times he crashed twice? Yeah, at
Speaker 1: least twice. Yeah, for sure. Yeah, and no, hell no.
Speaker 1: Take to have the keys. And they're already thinking they
Speaker 1: out of their man just work with maybe wait, maybe
Speaker 1: you saying my keys. I ain't seeing them, Grandma writing
Speaker 1: your pocket. I ain't saying them, Grandma. That's simple. But
Speaker 1: you know what's interesting too, though, Nick, I don't know
Speaker 1: if you've seen this as well, but Andrew Cuomo, Governor
Speaker 1: Cuomo is actually being investigated by the Attorney General Lettis
Speaker 1: as well for under reporting COVID deaths in nursing homes.
Speaker 1: So I'm curious to see how that shakes out. It
Speaker 1: will be interested to see how that shakes out. I
Speaker 1: think a little bit of backstory to that. I think
Speaker 1: that there were different ways of reporting, right, and I
Speaker 1: think that the the the problem is um Governor Cuomo
Speaker 1: hasn't necessarily been as transparent MS. James argues, as he
Speaker 1: should have been with the number of people who are
Speaker 1: dying in different facilities. He says, yes, some of the
Speaker 1: people died in the facility, but they were already sick
Speaker 1: before they got there, and it may or may not
Speaker 1: have been COVID related. That there are people who die
Speaker 1: in nursing homes who do die and it's not related
Speaker 1: to COVID, and that's where I think the investigation is
Speaker 1: going from. But he and Governor Newsom out of California
Speaker 1: right now are both under a lot of um, a
Speaker 1: lot of scrutiny because of just different ways they both
Speaker 1: governors have handled the pandemic. They with Newsome here too,
Speaker 1: they got scans all on the freeway. They are protesting
Speaker 1: against news and they hot with new I think they
Speaker 1: want to stage a recall. Right, Yeah, that's been discussed
Speaker 1: as well too. Yeah so so so COVID continues to
Speaker 1: claim casualties clearly, and and not only the physical realm,
Speaker 1: but also the political realm um as well. There. So
Speaker 1: we'll see, We'll definitely see how it all shakes out.
Speaker 1: It's just one of the many things I think that
Speaker 1: we need to keep an eye on, because now where
Speaker 1: are we now with the COVID death numbers of you guys,
Speaker 1: I stopped looking at it, stop looking at and I
Speaker 1: didn't stop looking at it because I don't care. I
Speaker 1: just was very busy this week, so I really haven't
Speaker 1: had a chance to look at the news a and
Speaker 1: then be if two million people passed, I'm still not
Speaker 1: taking the vaccine. So that's not gonna ben persuade my man, baby.
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you if I see one more company
Speaker 1: come out with a vaccine. You know, first, what was it?
Speaker 1: What was it at first? Lauren Fiser? Two shots had
Speaker 1: to be sub zero temperature, then it turned into one shot.
Speaker 1: Different companies did it. It could be room temperature. First
Speaker 1: of all, don't like room timpt to water. I don't
Speaker 1: even like room timpt to sex. I like it to
Speaker 1: be hot. Secondly, yeah, I'm not interested in taking any
Speaker 1: of that. You guys knew what you want to do,
Speaker 1: but I'm not taking him when you went some ships off.
Speaker 1: All in all, call me hey, Well, speaking of casualties,
Speaker 1: I think we can shift into the next topic as well. Nick,
Speaker 1: you and I talked about this yesterday, is that over
Speaker 1: the weekend, Trump's legal team for his impeachment trial actually
Speaker 1: quit on him. Yes, dude, and that happened due to
Speaker 1: he wanted them to argue that the election was fraudulent
Speaker 1: allegedly now his false person his his his false first
Speaker 1: before his team. UM has since come out and said that, UM,
Speaker 1: that's fake news. But according to sources, and according to
Speaker 1: reporting by The New York Times, that's indeed what happened.
Speaker 1: That the legal team for President Trump wanted to mount
Speaker 1: a defense on the constitutionality of whether or not one
Speaker 1: can impeach uh a person who is no longer in office. Uh.
Speaker 1: Mr Trump wanted them to argue the fact that the
Speaker 1: election was false. Um. And UH. The challenge with that
Speaker 1: is you cannot argue something you know not to be
Speaker 1: true as a licensed attorney and want to hold onto
Speaker 1: that license. And so they would do it. Yeah, they
Speaker 1: would not do it. He has though since then, we
Speaker 1: are happy to report, Um. He has. Indeed, since then,
Speaker 1: Lauren hired two new attorney to con Please tell me
Speaker 1: one of the Miss Juliani. I just want to make
Speaker 1: sure he actually two controversial attorneys. They have a record
Speaker 1: of being very controversial in the cases that they argue,
Speaker 1: So go ahead, please, they are Indeed, they are David
Speaker 1: Showing and Bruce Castor Showing, an attorney from Georgia numbers
Speaker 1: amongst his clients all sorts of reputed mobster figures. Um
Speaker 1: And also does not believe that Jeffrey f Stein killed himself.
Speaker 1: He was he was supposed to represent Jeffrey. I agree
Speaker 1: with him on that one. And then Mr Caster is
Speaker 1: an attorney from Pennsylvania and the former district Attorney um And.
Speaker 1: He's known for his decision to not prosecute Bill Cosby
Speaker 1: in two thousand five after Andrew Constat accused the comedian
Speaker 1: of sexual assault um And he said that, you know,
Speaker 1: in seventeen he sued um Ms Constant for deformation, claiming
Speaker 1: she destroyed his political career. So okay, here, here, here
Speaker 1: it is. Guess what those two lawyers are already paid
Speaker 1: because y'all not y'all not my flamemts, because you know,
Speaker 1: we pride ourselves of having the smartest listeners on the internet.
Speaker 1: But all you all who donated four hundred plus million
Speaker 1: dollars to that He's going to be the president again campaign,
Speaker 1: y'all already paid for his lawyers. Y'all already paid for
Speaker 1: because it's like cashp you ain't getting your money back
Speaker 1: you send the money to the wrong person. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: blessed them, Thank you. They hopefully they needed it. They're
Speaker 1: already paid. They're already pay because he don't need to
Speaker 1: raise no money for that. So before he started saying
Speaker 1: I need money for legal fees, nigger, we already sent
Speaker 1: you from hundred and twenty million dollars that you owe
Speaker 1: from hundred and twenty million dollars to not not me
Speaker 1: because you know I'm not sending your ship. But I
Speaker 1: know my flame man's didn't need it. Nig. Did you
Speaker 1: don't neate to the Trump administration for you know? I
Speaker 1: did not? No, I did not you know, Um, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I have to. I have to check with you, player,
Speaker 1: because sometimes you'd be surprised at me. But you look
Speaker 1: so handsome today, Nicholas. If we were friends, I would
Speaker 1: probably try to push up on you. But you Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: I said probably. I said probably, don't don't don't don't
Speaker 1: don't run with don't run it with a little bit
Speaker 1: of shade. It is. It is this hardening to think
Speaker 1: that his whole legal team click quit, but they still
Speaker 1: got republ like it's in the Senate that's still pushing
Speaker 1: his narrative. It's ridiculous. It is really what is the
Speaker 1: beach name, Let's what's called what is the beach name?
Speaker 1: Her name is Marjorie Taylor and she's actually in the house,
Speaker 1: bring in, bringing Marge. You come on, I got something
Speaker 1: for you, sister. She goes to work every day at
Speaker 1: the pushing the whole quand nine or what is it
Speaker 1: called and nine thing with her gone. She don't even
Speaker 1: have to go through the mantal detective. So she goes
Speaker 1: up in here angry already talking about something should happened
Speaker 1: to Pelosi and what's the other one, Corteils, and she
Speaker 1: still got her job. That's that's BS on every level.
Speaker 1: That is BS on every level with this government. And
Speaker 1: you wonder why I won't take a vaccine from this government.
Speaker 1: If you don't know, well, let's let's add some context
Speaker 1: to it, so I'll do this intro, Nick. So, Marjorie
Speaker 1: Taylor Green is an American politician and US representative for
Speaker 1: George's fourteenth Congressional district. And some Republicans and Democrats are
Speaker 1: calling on, you know, their stituents to stand up against
Speaker 1: her in terms of some of the controversial things she
Speaker 1: said and to your point of her, you know, making
Speaker 1: very threatening statements towards Nancy Pelosi and other folks that
Speaker 1: are within congress Um. The claim is that she didn't
Speaker 1: before she was elected, so she shouldn't be held accountable
Speaker 1: because they decided to elect her anyway. That's the argument
Speaker 1: that's being made that bys they hold everybody else to
Speaker 1: count them. But this council culture would cancel everybody, starting
Speaker 1: with starting with what's his name, Kevin Hard when they
Speaker 1: wouldn't let him host for something that he said twelve
Speaker 1: years ago. No, everything is canceled, and they own Ellen's
Speaker 1: asked about oh she people work for hers. Me. I'm
Speaker 1: not buying that she should be removed. That is a
Speaker 1: threat on somebody's life. And let me tell you something, lady.
Speaker 1: Let me let me move up a home fun for
Speaker 1: Pelosi if you want to, because you know Pelosi is
Speaker 1: might be funk whatever you want to. This weird coming
Speaker 1: off and I'm coming at you ain't gonna even recognize
Speaker 1: I'm gonna roll up on you like a brother. You're
Speaker 1: gonna think I'm the damn doing man. You ain't gonna
Speaker 1: you see it. Comments I didn't grab that gun, and
Speaker 1: you're as you better leave my Nancy Pelosi. You know
Speaker 1: I love Nancy Pelosi. I think it's it's saying, it's
Speaker 1: really saying. It's really it really shows who America is.
Speaker 1: They keep continuing to show themselves again and again and
Speaker 1: again and more so, I think the Republicans and Nick,
Speaker 1: I'll turn it over to you after I make this
Speaker 1: last point. Even a representative Adam Kissinger, I don't know
Speaker 1: if you've seen that today, he actually came out against
Speaker 1: and said, you know, Marjorie Taylor Green is a problem.
Speaker 1: And he's also supporting Trump's impeachment. And he said he's
Speaker 1: been getting like, you know, disownment emails from his family,
Speaker 1: from his friends and people saying, you know, you're the devil.
Speaker 1: How dare you turn your back on Trump and support Democrats?
Speaker 1: So the Republican Party as a whole is really experiencing
Speaker 1: a break, is what people are saying. And um, it's
Speaker 1: Trump has really shaken up the whole dynamic of it.
Speaker 1: So yeah, indeed, Lauren and I don't I think this
Speaker 1: is where, uh, either we are ridiculously removed or something
Speaker 1: is happening where we are missing, um what the draw is,
Speaker 1: because I really do try to get it when I
Speaker 1: when I don't get it when people say, oh, you're
Speaker 1: gonna love such and such. It's so funny, you're gonna
Speaker 1: love blah blah blah. It's it's the best thing ever
Speaker 1: Blair which project is the scariest movie you'll ever see.
Speaker 1: So you go and you're like, Okay, wow, what didn't
Speaker 1: I get? You know, what are we missing that so
Speaker 1: many people are willing to literally lay prostrate for President Trump,
Speaker 1: for former President Trump. I'm blown away by the number
Speaker 1: of people who will fall and take a knee uh
Speaker 1: and and and and kneel before his highness just to
Speaker 1: kiss the robe of him, of his garment, or you know,
Speaker 1: just to be blessed by him. I'm seriously floored. I
Speaker 1: don't get where he moved into deity status, uh that
Speaker 1: people are just so uh enamored with him that they
Speaker 1: will literally walk away from everything that they know. I
Speaker 1: told you two weeks ago. This is because before he
Speaker 1: got into politics, he was a businessman who did business
Speaker 1: with both sides of the coin. He did business with
Speaker 1: Republicans and with Democrats. He knows dirt on everybody. Yes,
Speaker 1: so he is in a position to destroy you because
Speaker 1: he knows dirt on you, illegal dirt as far as
Speaker 1: uh what do they call when you're building buildings and
Speaker 1: all that. What is that called? Yeah, real estate and
Speaker 1: with with building the buildings to all the materials, but
Speaker 1: the order construction from his hand is in all those pots.
Speaker 1: And as dumb as we think he is, and I
Speaker 1: do think that he's done, he's smart enough to remember
Speaker 1: I hold the cards on you. I can pull the
Speaker 1: plug on you at any given time. The only people
Speaker 1: who challenges him are people who have never done business
Speaker 1: with him. I eat Nancy Pelosi, I e Kamala Harris,
Speaker 1: I et Joe Biden. But the people who have done
Speaker 1: business with him, he got the guns on them. He has.
Speaker 1: This is why they revert to not saying anything because
Speaker 1: I'm still not gonna understand that as a man ted cruise.
Speaker 1: How are you gonna let him disrespect your wife publicly
Speaker 1: to to to the world and then you still sad
Speaker 1: with this, Nick, I'm just telling you he got dirt
Speaker 1: on people. Yeah, I think blackmail is definitely a key
Speaker 1: part of this because there's different stories that are around.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to say anything it's factual or true.
Speaker 1: I'm just simply stating what I'm reading is that you
Speaker 1: know the Lindsay Graham situation and going to the UK,
Speaker 1: and there's this whole little boy you know component to that. Um,
Speaker 1: we don't know exactly what he is where you haven't
Speaker 1: read that. You haven't read that. So there was a
Speaker 1: two years ago or I think it was two years ago,
Speaker 1: Lindsay Graham was flying to the UK. He made about
Speaker 1: twelve trips to the UK, and there's supposedly he was
Speaker 1: doing something with little boys. It's not confirmed or denied.
Speaker 1: I'm just simply stating what I'm reading. So nobody hold
Speaker 1: me accountable. But that is the story behind Lindsey Graham
Speaker 1: and why he flip flopped so drastically from to when
Speaker 1: Trump was elected to being a Trump supporters. Supposedly that's
Speaker 1: what it is. Everybody look it up. You can go
Speaker 1: and read it. It's not confirmed. We don't know it's true,
Speaker 1: but that is something that I've read in you know,
Speaker 1: news articles. I'm just gonna say this about that. Stevie
Speaker 1: wanted to can see that ship, you know. I think
Speaker 1: I think, you know, specifically with with with Mr Trump.
Speaker 1: I think my biggest issue, if we didn't have an
Speaker 1: issue before, is the fact that now you have someone
Speaker 1: who clearly lad an insurrection against the House of congress Um,
Speaker 1: a House of Representatives and Congress. You know that this happened.
Speaker 1: Many of you were there and were yourselves moments from
Speaker 1: being victimized. Yet you still will not hold this man
Speaker 1: accountable for the actions of those whom he incited. I
Speaker 1: just I just don't get it he got that story
Speaker 1: is not even a straight because you know for years
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, I know a bunch of the boys
Speaker 1: who do the dating sites and we rent porn, rent
Speaker 1: rent me, and it's called rent me. And whenever they
Speaker 1: have those big conventions Republican Democrat, let me, let me
Speaker 1: be honest, they say a lot, they make a lot
Speaker 1: of money doing those things. They go to those cities
Speaker 1: and they get picked up by a lot of statesmen.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. That somebody said Lindsay Graham name personally,
Speaker 1: but I've heard that from for years from personal friends.
Speaker 1: And to be messy. We'll just be a little messy.
Speaker 1: It's no different from if you know, the whole mail
Speaker 1: ordered bride thing situation as well, because there's some politicians
Speaker 1: where it's like, where'd your wife come from? So I mean, hell,
Speaker 1: we can't even say hell, we can't even say that
Speaker 1: about Milannia. Milannia married Trump and all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: her whole family came over here and got green cards.
Speaker 1: So they're even saying that about her. But I'm just saying,
Speaker 1: let me tell you something about that Malanya. Y'all she
Speaker 1: gone that so I can see it. I don't know
Speaker 1: who the hell card B was talking about with the
Speaker 1: want because kry b Man had a whapp for her.
Speaker 1: Man kept cheating on her, and she married to him. Baby,
Speaker 1: let me chat about Milanya. She went from being a
Speaker 1: uh escort to suppose allegedly allegedly to a model showing
Speaker 1: all her body, so she married the most powerful man
Speaker 1: in the world. Baby, let me check some about milan Ya.
Speaker 1: I don't know what you were talking about, Cardio B.
Speaker 1: You might have to whop, but that Milania got the
Speaker 1: baby because she became the first lady off of hers
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about getting me when I can go as
Speaker 1: far as at least the secretary of State. That's what
Speaker 1: she was. Well, I think I think in Milannia's case,
Speaker 1: she was looking for a meal ticket to get her
Speaker 1: family out and just ended up becoming the first lady,
Speaker 1: which she wasn't too happy about. But yeah, it's my girl, Milania.
Speaker 1: I can't fight on that one. When it's good, it's good.
Speaker 1: And when you found the food, you found the food.
Speaker 1: Unfortunately they unloaded him on us for four years. But
Speaker 1: when you can find the food, you can find the food.
Speaker 1: I just wanted to say with Marjorie Taylor Green though,
Speaker 1: I think that to kind of bring it back to
Speaker 1: how we started with her. The number of things that
Speaker 1: she has done, many believe literally moved beyond the pale
Speaker 1: right um. She has openly mocked UH survivors of the
Speaker 1: UH shooting at in Color Sandy hik Um, saying that
Speaker 1: it wasn't real, you know, and and it's is, I
Speaker 1: don't know anything. I think that could be crueler than
Speaker 1: to maybe mock a parent who loses a child, right
Speaker 1: and and for you, Tobe, for you to say that now,
Speaker 1: I understand that what she has also said privately to them, Listen,
Speaker 1: I don't really believe that I'm sorry for your loss,
Speaker 1: but I support people who do, and I need to
Speaker 1: represent my people, so I'm not sure. At that point,
Speaker 1: I'm like, then you really are morally corrupt if you
Speaker 1: will purposely say things publicly that you know hurt people uh,
Speaker 1: and you don't even believe it, but you want to
Speaker 1: hold on the political power, you know, in order to
Speaker 1: go forward with that that was released this morning on
Speaker 1: CBS that supposedly she has said h to uh parents
Speaker 1: of those who were victimized at Sandy Hik. Look, I
Speaker 1: don't really believe it, and so let's let's let's clarify though.
Speaker 1: So the Sandy Hook situation from what I was reading,
Speaker 1: is she was not empathizing with the parents and basically
Speaker 1: saying that it wasn't accurate of all that happened in
Speaker 1: terms of Parkland. She actually was walking behind one of
Speaker 1: the students who was at the forefront of speaking out
Speaker 1: against gun violence and was mocking him as that he
Speaker 1: was walking across the street and basically trying to de
Speaker 1: legitimize the experience of the shooting. So those are the
Speaker 1: two instances regarding her, just to clarify, but go ahead,
Speaker 1: flame um. Racism is a learning behavior. I'm even surprised
Speaker 1: that we have in this conversation about that. There is
Speaker 1: no Oh I'm shocked. I'm shocked up. They have been
Speaker 1: getting away with stuff just like this for years and
Speaker 1: years and decades. She's just bringing it out if this
Speaker 1: was somebody of color, black or brown, they would have FBI,
Speaker 1: their phones will be tapped, they would probably be under
Speaker 1: the jail. So I don't even want to make an
Speaker 1: excuse for her. This is some ship that they are
Speaker 1: allowing her to get away with. And that's how I
Speaker 1: felt like about Trump. They allowed this food to do
Speaker 1: half the things that he did. Somebody is in control
Speaker 1: of everybody flame. I think that what has people so
Speaker 1: surprised about this that they have censured and removed members before,
Speaker 1: And that's why everybody is surprised that why are you
Speaker 1: all continuing to let this go forward? That something very
Speaker 1: different is happening here. When Steve King of Iowa had
Speaker 1: said something about to The New York Times UH a
Speaker 1: few years ago about um, I don't understan where everybody's
Speaker 1: so upset with white supremacy, it did a lot of good.
Speaker 1: They're like, whoa dude, this is just too much. Mid
Speaker 1: Romney led the charge to have him removed. In fact,
Speaker 1: he even they all thought it was just too much.
Speaker 1: You don't represent Republicans. We are not racist people. Well
Speaker 1: things that somewhere something has shifted that Marjorie Taylor Green
Speaker 1: is now and going back to something else you said. Flame.
Speaker 1: There are those who also argue we can't remove her
Speaker 1: because she was fairly elect it and the people in
Speaker 1: Georgia love her, or people in her district they love her.
Speaker 1: She won Faarren Square saying many of these things before
Speaker 1: the election. We knew who she was before we elected her.
Speaker 1: She is. They're doing exactly what we elected her to do.
Speaker 1: Don't let my voice not to be heard. If you
Speaker 1: don't like what she has to say, vote her out
Speaker 1: next time around. That's black folks, Black folks in Chicago.
Speaker 1: Y'all hear that that y'all voted Glory light footing in.
Speaker 1: She's not pleasing you. But ain't nobody mitching outside of
Speaker 1: margare Taylor Green's house. I'm just I'm just showing the
Speaker 1: hypocrisy of the other races. I don't want you always
Speaker 1: think that I'm against everybody else. I'm talking about us
Speaker 1: right now. I'm talking about us. Y'all voted her in.
Speaker 1: Give her a chance. I can't give this woman no chance.
Speaker 1: This woman is in Congress openly threatened to harm the House,
Speaker 1: the Speaker of the House, as well as courtiers. She
Speaker 1: should be She should be arrested they should take away
Speaker 1: all her fire arms, she should lose all her pension
Speaker 1: and everything else, because if it was one of us,
Speaker 1: it would be way worse. And I'm not gonna see
Speaker 1: it in no other way. I'm gonna let you say
Speaker 1: what you got, Sad. I'm ready to I'm just gonna say, though,
Speaker 1: that Nick to your point of people making that argument
Speaker 1: that she was elected, But we've expelled senators and you know,
Speaker 1: house representatives before you know, and I don't remember the
Speaker 1: exact dates, so don't hold me to it. But when
Speaker 1: they were still house representatives that supported the Confederacy, they
Speaker 1: were expelled. And I think the latest expulsion that we
Speaker 1: had was in the nineteen eighties, if I'm not incorrect. So,
Speaker 1: Lauren al Franken, remember thank you? So yes, I know
Speaker 1: exactly what's saying thank you. I don't understand. That's how
Speaker 1: it goes back to him, like what is happening here
Speaker 1: that people are so hypnotized? What made Trump greater to
Speaker 1: them than Reagan? Reagan used to be the beacon of
Speaker 1: what Republicanism And we've we've all heard this before. Reagan
Speaker 1: was the great, communicated, best president that ever walked the
Speaker 1: face of the earth. He was like literally the second
Speaker 1: coming of Christ. Too many. Um, So something happened along
Speaker 1: the way. Some then happened along. This is how I
Speaker 1: feel about. Let me tell what the Republicans are trying
Speaker 1: to do. They're trying to get their reputations back. Y'all
Speaker 1: elected to put this person in front of you'all to
Speaker 1: represent y'all. Y'all not gonna get it back. That will
Speaker 1: be a stain on y'all, and y'all's in y'all record
Speaker 1: for the rest of your existence. I feel about This
Speaker 1: is how I feel about it. Mother had you, mother,
Speaker 1: love you, you know, and I mean and there is
Speaker 1: bipartisan support to half her removed. Um One, like I said,
Speaker 1: is Adam Kissinger. He's getting death threats and discernments and
Speaker 1: everything else from his family and um there's also another
Speaker 1: devil crowd on the other side of the idol of
Speaker 1: the Isle. I'm sorry, and they're working together to develop
Speaker 1: a strategy to have her removed. So we'll see if
Speaker 1: that happens. What's the black senator's name that made the
Speaker 1: video and it was saying that she felt threatened. She
Speaker 1: had to look over Corey Bush looked like she gonna
Speaker 1: take her down. If she put them guns down, they
Speaker 1: had to go toe to toe. Ms. Marjorie, girl, you
Speaker 1: better put your duke some baby because Ms. Corey Bush.
Speaker 1: But she's feeling from a couple of people. I saw
Speaker 1: a video too. She walked into the Capitol and she
Speaker 1: didn't have a mask on, and the representatives yelling at her,
Speaker 1: saying put her mask on, and she put that mask one, yes,
Speaker 1: yes she did. So she's feeling the problem is I
Speaker 1: wish she could take her mask off because she has
Speaker 1: a mask on. But we see who you really are.
Speaker 1: And I ain't talking about the mask for coronavirus. I'm
Speaker 1: talking about that other mask, that mask of hate that
Speaker 1: you're wearing. Or racism is a mental illness. So we
Speaker 1: got this mental illness bitch on the damn uh in
Speaker 1: the Senate. Is that what it is? Because you know,
Speaker 1: racism is mental illness. So we got a slow bitch
Speaker 1: representing Georgia. Okay, Georgia, y'all did good with the blue
Speaker 1: on one hand, but that little part of Georgia where
Speaker 1: she's from. I'm just saying, but there's work to be done. Hey,
Speaker 1: I'm doing well. I'm doing well, now, you know. Quarries
Speaker 1: from St. Louis and she was getting ready to dusk.
Speaker 1: The Marjorie and sit and even their staffs. There's their
Speaker 1: staff people have had yelling matches about the mask. But
Speaker 1: the whole time Marjorie was on live trying to incite rhetoric, saying,
Speaker 1: you see what what has come down to? You see
Speaker 1: what's going on here. She's definitely got an agenda and
Speaker 1: I don't know what it is yet, but we gotta
Speaker 1: keep watching her because they just gave out committee assignments
Speaker 1: and they put her on She shouldn't be on education.
Speaker 1: She's on education, labor and budget. So they need to
Speaker 1: take her committees and start isolating her UM because McCarthy's
Speaker 1: not going to deal with her if she she wants
Speaker 1: to keep the crazy, the craziness up, she really does.
Speaker 1: Her husband's there, her all her kids are not there,
Speaker 1: but she her husband's there so and they own um
Speaker 1: a construction deal. So it's some kind of way, I know,
Speaker 1: because white folks don't come without an agenda that they're
Speaker 1: going to try to swing something or or grasphole of
Speaker 1: some power because that's their motivation, hate us for being
Speaker 1: who we are. Now, you know what if I don't
Speaker 1: want an abortion, then I don't have an abortion. If
Speaker 1: I don't like people with blue eyes, then I just
Speaker 1: stay away from people with blue eyes. If I don't
Speaker 1: like going to the Synegalue, I don't go to the Synegale.
Speaker 1: But all these things, they've made a whole movement of
Speaker 1: disliking these people. Hate who Trump hate. I don't. I
Speaker 1: don't know one person that's getting up saying damn, I
Speaker 1: wanted some blue eyes. I don't wanna be white. Well
Speaker 1: wait a minute before y'all sefo y'all judge T. G.
Speaker 1: Jenney and think that she's racist because she said she
Speaker 1: got a blue id diep. So I'm just let y'all knows.
Speaker 1: But she got a blue idea. If you joined Love Line,
Speaker 1: you know about that, and you know I do. I
Speaker 1: do have a blue idea, but you know there are
Speaker 1: and I have blue eyed friends as well. So when
Speaker 1: I make blanket statements, I have to speak from where
Speaker 1: people are suffering and not try to put on kid
Speaker 1: gloves to make everybody feel like, oh, she's not talking
Speaker 1: about me. Because on your way to the office today,
Speaker 1: if you saw somebody pull over the police pull over
Speaker 1: somebody to give them a ticket. You didn't stop and
Speaker 1: said last week I ran that stop sign too. You
Speaker 1: kept on going. So if it doesn't apply to you
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, then don't be insulted. But we have
Speaker 1: to know positively what this movement is about. As long
Speaker 1: as they felt like we couldn't have what they had,
Speaker 1: they could stomach us. So we didn't have a black president.
Speaker 1: So we know that they're onto something. They've got a
Speaker 1: black vpre the smart as a whip. We know they're
Speaker 1: on something. Every sport we feel like we want to
Speaker 1: compete in, we dominate that sport. When you look at
Speaker 1: blue eyed women, they want you around for necessary because
Speaker 1: they're dubbing your swag. They're trying to be you and
Speaker 1: be you better than you. They've always wanted to late
Speaker 1: with your men. And for these white men that are
Speaker 1: sitting around talking about what they don't like, if they
Speaker 1: had a quick fifteen minutes and they thought you buy
Speaker 1: into it, they've had them some jungle love. So all
Speaker 1: this is to make them feel better. Because if you
Speaker 1: don't want these people, if you don't want this type
Speaker 1: of music, you turn to a different station on your radio,
Speaker 1: bringing up to you saying, hey, like me, you're gonna
Speaker 1: like me. I don't give a damn about what you don't.
Speaker 1: I love it. I'm getting vacan try to imitate, copy duplicate,
Speaker 1: But what's the model, Janet K know what? And and
Speaker 1: for those just tuning in what T T jan is
Speaker 1: talking about his cultural appropriation at its finest, Okay, that's
Speaker 1: what it is. And uh to go back to Marjorie though,
Speaker 1: um I do want to touch on one point you
Speaker 1: made to her being on the Education committee, why it
Speaker 1: is so offensive and why people are so upset and
Speaker 1: Republicans are saying, oh, Kevin McCarthy is going to go
Speaker 1: have a conversation with her, which is not going to
Speaker 1: do anything, because there are reports to that he is
Speaker 1: the one that actually reports to some folks that are
Speaker 1: associated with Q and on. So it's gonna be you know,
Speaker 1: it's gonna fall on deaf ears. But because of the
Speaker 1: you know, in sense tif and you know, just disrespectful
Speaker 1: comments she's made about you know, Parkland and Sandy Hook,
Speaker 1: that's why people are so outraged about her being assigned
Speaker 1: to the education community, because it's more of a slap
Speaker 1: in the face almost like all of what's happening on
Speaker 1: the Republican side of the aisle is intentional to cause
Speaker 1: hurt and more damage. And it's not like the education
Speaker 1: system can stand it any longer. We have four years
Speaker 1: the best divorce. Dumbass. She just ruined the damn education
Speaker 1: systems and along with the COVID, the kids have not
Speaker 1: been in school since March of last year here in
Speaker 1: California and in so many other different states. We don't need.
Speaker 1: You don't replace dumb with even dumber with even dumber,
Speaker 1: because she's even dumber and she's even more racist. And
Speaker 1: we'll never get black histories taught in schools because they
Speaker 1: don't teach black history in the schools that my children
Speaker 1: go to a long beach because of the district that
Speaker 1: we live in. So if they don't learn it at home,
Speaker 1: they won't learn it. We are in a situation, I
Speaker 1: said it the end of the day. We have been
Speaker 1: in some ship and we're still in it. But we
Speaker 1: have shovels, and I'm gonna need us to get some
Speaker 1: mini shovels because we need to micro we do. But
Speaker 1: also to this is gonna be a defining point in
Speaker 1: history though, and that's also to what's being talked about
Speaker 1: more is which side of history are you going to
Speaker 1: be known for standing on which side of the aisle?
Speaker 1: Are you gonna be on the side where it's convenient
Speaker 1: for you because you know, Trump may have some blackmail
Speaker 1: on you, or are you gonna be on the side
Speaker 1: of right? That's what it is. And you know what,
Speaker 1: everybody can't spend twenty years in Congress. So if that
Speaker 1: means that you had to be the mortar and stand up,
Speaker 1: then be that and be known for something then falls
Speaker 1: or anything. This woman moved out of the district of
Speaker 1: her home, which is not uncommon, but to move to
Speaker 1: a district where she thought and she did win it.
Speaker 1: It's so it's so crazy. I mean, I just don't
Speaker 1: know anybody who says, you know what, I want to
Speaker 1: be with you white people. I woke up and I'm
Speaker 1: piste off. I've been trying to bleach my skin. Nobody's
Speaker 1: trying to warm up to these people. They're entertaining their
Speaker 1: own selves with stupid Well, you said at the beginning
Speaker 1: of your conversation, I'm sorry that there's a method to
Speaker 1: the manness. There is always a method to the man yesterday, Well,
Speaker 1: I also do want to acknowledge that all of these
Speaker 1: far right extremists too, they're not all white. Let's also
Speaker 1: bring that in because, for instance, the leader of the
Speaker 1: Proud Boy is his first name is Enrique. So here's
Speaker 1: the one who he's not a founder, he's their heads.
Speaker 1: He's the leader of the Proud Boy like the head hunt.
Speaker 1: But his name. But my point is, my point is
Speaker 1: his name is Enrique. So we still all of these
Speaker 1: folks that are the far right extremist racist groups, they're
Speaker 1: all not white, so we also need to acknowledge them
Speaker 1: to those are those folks are trying to assimilate and
Speaker 1: be a part of white supremacy. However, they are not white.
Speaker 1: So we've got those groups of folks too. You've always
Speaker 1: saw that there are some they're gonna sell out themselves
Speaker 1: because they want a larger chrome. It's not like the
Speaker 1: world's gonna see them any differently. As Oh Jake asked Tiger,
Speaker 1: they still see you as such. You've just been selling
Speaker 1: out yourself and as soon as they got a chance
Speaker 1: to put their foot on your neck, that's just what
Speaker 1: they do. I know their canvas owns out there. We
Speaker 1: know then we know Pierre, I don't know his last name,
Speaker 1: who's a correspondent. I mean that fight this and stands
Speaker 1: up Paris. Oh my god, let me get you like
Speaker 1: because you had went too deep for me. And I'm
Speaker 1: not used to you going so deep, Jane, because girl,
Speaker 1: you had got aggressive. I had almost got turned on. Girl.
Speaker 1: If you don't knock it off, got voice myself. Jee
Speaker 1: who's your super Bowl prediction? For the Super Bowl? Who
Speaker 1: are you going with? Well, I'm going I like people,
Speaker 1: and so since my guy is Patrick, I'm going with
Speaker 1: Patrick Homes for the Chiefs all day, every day, thank you.
Speaker 1: And that's not gonna with the experience. Is Tom you
Speaker 1: mean the Trump supporters? You mean the Trump support time.
Speaker 1: Don't getting no love from me at all? Now I
Speaker 1: do have a prussure on his wife if I was
Speaker 1: gonna go there, But Tom don't get love from me
Speaker 1: at all? Patrick my home? Oh no, no, no, I'm
Speaker 1: definitely what's going with Kansas City? Yeah, okay, I get
Speaker 1: Tom Brady to Oh he needs to all this now.
Speaker 1: I ain't got passing with those with those shrinking the
Speaker 1: balls like the shrinks and balls. Okay, thank we always
Speaker 1: appreciate you, Thank you, my god, Jane said, Baby, I'm
Speaker 1: like he's about to come through this phone. She got
Speaker 1: Piste so vespers here. I think I saw Mark earlier.
Speaker 1: I think Cash is here, thank you. The family is here,
Speaker 1: so I want to make sure. I just want to
Speaker 1: share a quick story with you all because I want
Speaker 1: to begin with an apology. Last week I made a
Speaker 1: joke about we've been talking about the weight loss and
Speaker 1: just the exercising, and I had mentioned at one point,
Speaker 1: I said, you know, part of my struggle is because
Speaker 1: of me and my love for bread. And I said specifically,
Speaker 1: I'm addicted to bread. Well, I got pushed back on that,
Speaker 1: and I'm just gonna share with you guys. I got
Speaker 1: that from my mom and um, I hadn't thought about it,
Speaker 1: and she says, Nick, don't joke about stuff like that,
Speaker 1: and UM, I said, oh Mom, it was. It was
Speaker 1: just a joke. She says, I know, but that could
Speaker 1: offend some people. And I said, that was not my intentions.
Speaker 1: So if I offended anyone, I apologize because me saying
Speaker 1: that I was addicted to bread may have come off
Speaker 1: to some that I was making fun of addiction. That
Speaker 1: was not my intention. Because I then shared with you,
Speaker 1: and I'll share with you all because I do believe
Speaker 1: that addiction is a disease, and I did not want
Speaker 1: to make fun of anyone who may be suffering from
Speaker 1: the disease of addiction. So well, I don't think you
Speaker 1: need to apologize for it, Nick, because I didn't take
Speaker 1: it that way. I didn't. I know your mom took
Speaker 1: it that way. But and as someone who has family
Speaker 1: members and close personal family members battling addiction, I didn't
Speaker 1: take it that way. I didn't, So you're totally fine.
Speaker 1: I want to address the addiction is a disease topic bullshit.
Speaker 1: Let me say and if it's if it's any addics,
Speaker 1: and I'm talking about drug addiction. I don't know about
Speaker 1: no other addiction. But this addiction is a disease is bullshit.
Speaker 1: Unless you're born into a crackhead mother as a baby,
Speaker 1: you're born into it. You are already addicted as a
Speaker 1: newborn baby. That's a choice. Y'all can say what y'all
Speaker 1: want to. That's a fucking choice that you made. And
Speaker 1: in order to understand how that feels, speak to the
Speaker 1: child of of an addic parent that was old enough
Speaker 1: to see their mom or dad doing things that they
Speaker 1: should have never seen their parents due for a fix
Speaker 1: or for a hit, be a child that had went
Speaker 1: to the meetings with their mother to hear the addicts
Speaker 1: could laugh and joke about turning tricks in the alley,
Speaker 1: rolling of the car us, sucking a dick for ten dollars,
Speaker 1: and but they didn't remember your birthday. They didn't remember
Speaker 1: that you need to go to school. They didn't remember
Speaker 1: our food for your house. I'm gonna raise my hand
Speaker 1: because I'm the bitch I'm talking about. My mother was
Speaker 1: an attic for twenty five years, but that was a
Speaker 1: choice that she made because she went through a broken heart.
Speaker 1: It's always another way, but we sometimes choose the way
Speaker 1: that's going to take the pain away. I'm not bashing
Speaker 1: my mother. My mother has been clean for thirty years.
Speaker 1: I'm very proud of my mother. But I'm talking about
Speaker 1: what I've witnessed as a child and the ship that
Speaker 1: I went through. And I hate when addicts, especially drug addicts, say, oh,
Speaker 1: it's a it's not a disease. It's a fucking choice
Speaker 1: that you made wherever you were in your life at
Speaker 1: that time, and you made that decision. That's a decision
Speaker 1: that not only you have to live with, but whoever
Speaker 1: you are responsible for it has to live with and
Speaker 1: it stays with you forever. I'm gonna go back to
Speaker 1: seven Club, raised in Chicago, my girlfriend Karen Alexander, who
Speaker 1: is still allowed to this day, but and one of
Speaker 1: the most talented queens I've ever met in my whole life.
Speaker 1: The same thing now that the guy in the back
Speaker 1: was passing around. He went to a Million, say you
Speaker 1: want to bump? She said no. He went to Erica Christians,
Speaker 1: said you want to bump? She said no. He came
Speaker 1: to me and asked me that I want to bump.
Speaker 1: I said no. He went to Casey Cortermain. May she
Speaker 1: rest in peace. She took it. She was addicted from
Speaker 1: that night on. Karen Alexander took the hit. She's been
Speaker 1: addicted from that night on. She has had a stroke.
Speaker 1: She is in a wheelchair. She's still alive to tell
Speaker 1: her story, and she's my friend, and she knew I
Speaker 1: was gonna tell this story today. But that was a
Speaker 1: conscious choice that she made as a twenty one year old.
Speaker 1: Understand me. Stop using that crutch to say that fucking
Speaker 1: addiction is a disease, just like they saying mental illness
Speaker 1: and racism is the same thing. You made a choice
Speaker 1: to do what the funk you wanted to do. And
Speaker 1: if I sound like I'm upset about and I'm angry,
Speaker 1: i am because I think that that is a cop out.
Speaker 1: And until we accepted for what it is and see
Speaker 1: if what it is, we're gonna keep on holding on to. Oh,
Speaker 1: it's addiction. He addict. My mother was on drugs, my
Speaker 1: father dad, who I didn't really know from cross other liver.
Speaker 1: It was always a conscious choice for me never to
Speaker 1: smoke or drink. Now, I got introduced to hannibals about
Speaker 1: two years ago, and bitch, but have every sense. But
Speaker 1: had I taken that fingernail that night, because I can
Speaker 1: see it as vibly as I'm talking to you, had
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be this person right here, right now. That's
Speaker 1: all I'm saying. That's a cop out to me. So,
Speaker 1: if you're addicted to something and you made the choice
Speaker 1: to constantly do it, and do it and do it.
Speaker 1: If you know that you don't have that strong enough
Speaker 1: gene in your constitution or your DNA to fight, why
Speaker 1: even go and do it the first time? If you
Speaker 1: know you're gonna mess yourself up, That's all I'm saying,
Speaker 1: and you have people that are responsible for you, because
Speaker 1: for a very long time I held onto that anger
Speaker 1: with my mother for a year. And not only I'm
Speaker 1: sure of me, plenty of other children. What about the
Speaker 1: ones that go to jail? And you know that kids
Speaker 1: are you never apologize to your children to me, because
Speaker 1: I don't think you could ever make that up and
Speaker 1: keep holling, oh it's a disease. A lot of you
Speaker 1: guys who get clean and sober with the whole twelve
Speaker 1: step program, you'll need thirteen most steps, because you'd be
Speaker 1: cleaned from the drugs, but you still have the drug mentality.
Speaker 1: That's worse than being high. That's fucking worse than being high. Sorry,
Speaker 1: Y ain't mean to go downhead of it's so and
Speaker 1: I think to flame and wow, this is why I
Speaker 1: think it's so powerful. It's because you know, um, I
Speaker 1: watched you raise your little brother, and I think that
Speaker 1: that's why your kids are so I don't know. I
Speaker 1: think that's why they're so independent, so smart, and so
Speaker 1: so like you. You you made sure none of the
Speaker 1: things that you experience. It Again, I don't want to
Speaker 1: speak for you, and I will stop here there they've
Speaker 1: never had to worry about the lights being on, they've
Speaker 1: never had to worry about refrigerator not being full. Uh,
Speaker 1: they they've never been without you give them saying that
Speaker 1: that you've always made them a priority. And I think
Speaker 1: that that is also what has made you a caregiver.
Speaker 1: You've cared for me. You know you've cared for me.
Speaker 1: And don't cry. I'm not you not. I told you
Speaker 1: about that. I will come through this phone on your
Speaker 1: as that relationships matter, you know, and uh, yeah they matter.
Speaker 1: I'll be right back, Lauren, go ahead and get Yeah. Sensitive,
Speaker 1: probably got some good sex, so he cried a lot.
Speaker 1: I'll say this, Um, I don't disagree with you. I don't.
Speaker 1: I totally acknowledge what you're saying, but I will say
Speaker 1: I'm I'm kind of in the middle on the argument.
Speaker 1: And I say that because having a close family friend
Speaker 1: who was on drugs, homeless and everything else in the
Speaker 1: streets for over you know, for about ten years, and
Speaker 1: has been also cleaning sober for ten years. And I
Speaker 1: also currently have a family member who's addicted to drugs.
Speaker 1: We have no idea where he is having conversations where
Speaker 1: I think the disease argument sometimes is made is more
Speaker 1: so in the recovery and maintaining sobriety aspect of it
Speaker 1: is what has you know, been explained to me? And
Speaker 1: I say that because if we if we give an
Speaker 1: analogy like diabetes for an example, that's a disease, you
Speaker 1: can get over it, right, you can. You can get
Speaker 1: over diabetes. But I see it as when you're diabetic,
Speaker 1: you have different triggers that can you know, throw off
Speaker 1: your blood sugar level and not have you um in
Speaker 1: a state of stability in terms of where your blood
Speaker 1: sugar is. But you don't necessarily be born with diabetes.
Speaker 1: Diabetes could be something that was already in you. You
Speaker 1: choose to do drugs, no no, no, no, no no no.
Speaker 1: But but that's that's to my point though you even
Speaker 1: mentioned how you know, some babies are born because they're
Speaker 1: cracked babies, and then there's other people that decide to
Speaker 1: get on drugs. So it's a choice. That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: When you said that part, I absolutely agree with you.
Speaker 1: But I'm saying I think the disease argument could possibly
Speaker 1: be made is in terms of maintaining your sobriety in
Speaker 1: your recovery, because like I was saying, with diabetes, you
Speaker 1: have different triggers that can throw your blood sugar of balance,
Speaker 1: and that's something you constantly are going to have to
Speaker 1: battle with, you know, drug addiction and overcoming that, You're
Speaker 1: going to constantly have to battle with different triggers that
Speaker 1: might want, you know, trigger you to go get that fixed.
Speaker 1: But it's going to constantly be be a battle that
Speaker 1: you have to deal with for the rest of your
Speaker 1: life to maintain your sobriety. So that's why I'm saying,
Speaker 1: I understand. I think I'm kind of in the middle
Speaker 1: because I absolutely agree with what you're saying. I do.
Speaker 1: I I understand that it's a choice part. Like I said,
Speaker 1: I have a family member who is currently addicted to
Speaker 1: drugs that I have no idea where he is. However,
Speaker 1: I also have, you know, a close family member who
Speaker 1: has talked about his recovery and what that's like and
Speaker 1: how he constantly has to deal with it. So and
Speaker 1: I think that's where the disease argument can be made.
Speaker 1: Those are my thoughts. I told her that she had
Speaker 1: to agree with me because I would have fought her.
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just well, you never you never deny
Speaker 1: somebody's experience. I also don't believe in that because that's
Speaker 1: your experience. You you know, had it firsthand. You never
Speaker 1: deny somebody's experience. You acknowledge it, and then you provide feed.
Speaker 1: That's how you actually have open ended conversations and you
Speaker 1: learn from one another. So hey, that's for Oh, hey,
Speaker 1: there's my white chocolate. How my white chocolate? How are
Speaker 1: y'all doing? Beautiful ladies, how are you so that we
Speaker 1: are struggling? You you hear the conversation, you hear the emotion,
Speaker 1: you hear the roller coaster round y'all know when I'm
Speaker 1: at home, this is how I talk. So I ain't
Speaker 1: gonna change me for nobody's Let's do it. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: and and when Nick was apologizing earlier, my whole thing
Speaker 1: is like, it's better to beg for forgiveness than ask
Speaker 1: for permission. It's kind of the same thing. It's like,
Speaker 1: why I apologize for something unless people get upset? And
Speaker 1: you shouldn't apologize for having your own opinion. Um, you know,
Speaker 1: unless that opinion is actively harming someone else. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. And I agree with you because everything
Speaker 1: you were talking about addiction, Um, it's at all boils
Speaker 1: down to self control. And Lauren is right too, it's
Speaker 1: more about after that self control comes into play that
Speaker 1: you know, addiction can be, you know, considered a illness,
Speaker 1: you know. But on Marjorie Taylor Green, I've been on
Speaker 1: top of it plane, I've been on top of it.
Speaker 1: I just I want to urge everyone to be as
Speaker 1: active as you were under forty five, because if we
Speaker 1: do not put the pressure on them, they will continue
Speaker 1: to do whatever the hell they want to do. And
Speaker 1: I'm already on top of us off and more not.
Speaker 1: They promised us, promised us two thousand dollar checks. What
Speaker 1: are they doing right now trying to play around with
Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell and work around the filibuster. No, they can
Speaker 1: do this through reconciliation, and they should have done it
Speaker 1: last week. So I'm gonna give them a month before
Speaker 1: I start losing my ship. But no, like we should
Speaker 1: have had that two thousand dollar checks in our accounts
Speaker 1: before the first it is the first. I'm I'm just
Speaker 1: I'm to me, it's like that six hundred dollars barely
Speaker 1: got us over the hump of this month, and I
Speaker 1: know that we are better off, Like we're not great financially,
Speaker 1: but we we positioned ourselves to weather this storm. But
Speaker 1: now we are coming close to that that little bit
Speaker 1: of you know that six hundred dollars did not go
Speaker 1: very far, and I know it wasn't like that for
Speaker 1: I mean, there's so many people out there struggling right
Speaker 1: now to buy food, to put roof over their head,
Speaker 1: and whether or not they did, this moratorium on evictions
Speaker 1: does not matter. People can still have an eviction on
Speaker 1: their record because it gets filed with the courts and
Speaker 1: that it affects their credit and then it affects their
Speaker 1: future housing opportunities. So a moratorium on evictions doesn't do
Speaker 1: anything except for kick the can down the road. There's
Speaker 1: still people who owe money on their rent, who owe
Speaker 1: money on their mortgages, and they're playing around with this money.
Speaker 1: That's our money. That's my biggest thing, and we need
Speaker 1: to put the pressure on Democrats Republicans. It doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: They are elected to serve us, and that's what we
Speaker 1: need to make them do. That'sper that's the word, because
Speaker 1: let me tell you, if you pay taxes, that's your money.
Speaker 1: And the fact that they're whold our money hostage is
Speaker 1: a damn shame. So I am right there with you.
Speaker 1: Vesper give me my money. Absolutely, what the commercial, it's
Speaker 1: my money, it's my money. And I needed that exactly, exactly.
Speaker 1: Wanted to go back and remake pits. Better have my
Speaker 1: money and member of the black community, Vestival because I
Speaker 1: love that you get so here. But let me tell
Speaker 1: you how I know you white because you keep sitting
Speaker 1: down the right emails and write lettership you know black phones,
Speaker 1: saying right now, let us we might send an email.
Speaker 1: We're gonna make a phone call and if you don't
Speaker 1: answer twice Wayne calling back, you have to call me back.
Speaker 1: What they're gonna have to call me back? Now, we
Speaker 1: know you're white, vest but we appreciate best. But you
Speaker 1: always keep us on the ground level in Georgia, letting
Speaker 1: us know what's going on your politically saving bring one
Speaker 1: more thing to your attention. I want to bring one
Speaker 1: more thing to your attention. There is another senator. I
Speaker 1: am right on the border of Margie Taylor Green district.
Speaker 1: There is another House representative here in door Georgia who
Speaker 1: is my House representative, Very louder Milk. He has not
Speaker 1: denounced these white supremacists. He has not denounced the insurrectionists,
Speaker 1: and now he's falling in line with Marjorie Taylor Green
Speaker 1: and starting to like parrot her. He's got to go.
Speaker 1: And I've been calling Kim's office about him too, So
Speaker 1: this isn't just about her. I mean, the pressure is
Speaker 1: on her right now. We need to keep that pressure
Speaker 1: on her until she's gone. But all of these people
Speaker 1: that are in office right now that did not denounce
Speaker 1: white supremacy, that did not denounce those insurrectionists, their traitors,
Speaker 1: and they gotta go. Come on. That's it. I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: you're thanks, Besper, thank you for having met. That's number two.
Speaker 1: You've got people all hot today. Let's get something before
Speaker 1: you bring NICKI and let's brings somebody else on. We
Speaker 1: gotta get another pain people. It's hot. Uh your baby, y'all,
Speaker 1: y'all Loo, it's wanting to Cassie. We're coming to you. Hi, everybody.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Hi, Lord, beautiful Lord, high blame and high
Speaker 1: nick Addiction is a choice. It is a choice. You
Speaker 1: make a choice if whether you're gonna go out and
Speaker 1: purchase that alcohol, or if you're gonna go buy that joint,
Speaker 1: or if you're gonna get that go out and get
Speaker 1: the mess and smoke it or the heroin and stick
Speaker 1: it in your It's a choice that all it takes
Speaker 1: is one time. If you can't smoke weed or eat
Speaker 1: edibles or and do it casually. And it's an addiction,
Speaker 1: and and you want it, and you want it, and
Speaker 1: you want it, you have to make a mental choice
Speaker 1: in your mind that I want to get right. It's
Speaker 1: a choice, just like I make a choice about nick.
Speaker 1: I love bread too, and i'd be gribbing on bread too,
Speaker 1: and I got a big gas stomach to show the
Speaker 1: bread that I like to eat. But no, I'm sorry
Speaker 1: that I got me heated. It is a choice. It's
Speaker 1: a choice if I want to eat a bunch of candy.
Speaker 1: And if I have diabetes and my blood sugar goes
Speaker 1: through the roofs, I make a choice. I have a
Speaker 1: family member who is addicted to gambling. She had a
Speaker 1: choice if she's gonna drive to the casino. Mind you,
Speaker 1: this family member banned herself from certain casino so that
Speaker 1: she couldn't go to casino. Girl, she's gonna drive to
Speaker 1: another casino. It's your choice if you get in the
Speaker 1: car and drive, or if you get that weed and
Speaker 1: smoke it, or if you get the alcohol and drink it.
Speaker 1: It's all self control. But mind control. Have you made
Speaker 1: up in your mind that I want to be better,
Speaker 1: that I don't want to take these drugs because drugs
Speaker 1: has tore my family apart too. So I'm sorry, I
Speaker 1: just came on righting and raving. But oh no, that's
Speaker 1: what we love, that emotion, you know, that's my whole
Speaker 1: right about. Whenever something happening on TV, don't be trying
Speaker 1: to show off other cameras. We want to know it
Speaker 1: for the real I want the authentic you. Whether you
Speaker 1: would have agreed with me or not, that's not what
Speaker 1: this page is about. Get it out, Get out. You know,
Speaker 1: I gained a lot of weight because I like to
Speaker 1: eat food choice. If I want to get up in
Speaker 1: the middle of the night at two o'clock in the
Speaker 1: morning and cut some cheese, because I like to cut
Speaker 1: the block of cheese and eat in the middle of
Speaker 1: the night. Oh that's fat, for real, kid, girl, that's fat.
Speaker 1: For real. I thought my bacon every day was fat.
Speaker 1: In the middle of the night cutting the cheese, I
Speaker 1: thought you were talking about putin girl. No, actually, a
Speaker 1: block of cheese. I'm cutting slice it, eat it with
Speaker 1: some crackers. Oh that is ghetto and ship. I love
Speaker 1: as project. We used to give us free cheese and
Speaker 1: butt in the projects in Chicago. But I love it
Speaker 1: ghetto ghettle. But yes, I agree. I agree that's for
Speaker 1: they should give us our money. And I do agree
Speaker 1: that we need to vote. People need to vote. It
Speaker 1: ain't just about the you know, uh presidential election. We
Speaker 1: need to get the right people in the positions of power,
Speaker 1: and we need to get a lot of them rich
Speaker 1: white people out of the Senate because they don't understand
Speaker 1: what us little people go through. Cassie, thank you for
Speaker 1: coming on with all the emotions, girl, you was all already.
Speaker 1: I had an interview with NBC this morning because apparently
Speaker 1: this weekend, uh, Michael g made a joke about them
Speaker 1: lifting the band on the on the trans people for
Speaker 1: the military. So NBC one in my opinion, because you
Speaker 1: remember I made a joke about it on They Ready
Speaker 1: in two thousand nineteen. Speaking of They Ready, the new
Speaker 1: They're Ready to season starts tomorrow on Netflix, So make
Speaker 1: sure you can watch a midnight tonight. But if you
Speaker 1: have Netflix, please watch Tiffany Hattis Presents. They ready to
Speaker 1: it starts tonight. Any who. They called me because they
Speaker 1: was asking my opinion on the whole them lifting the
Speaker 1: band on the transgender in the military, and I was like,
Speaker 1: I think it's great. I think that the transgender community
Speaker 1: have made so many strides in the last two years
Speaker 1: that we are we keep um the little stuff supersedes it.
Speaker 1: So with the pronouns in the bathroom rights and all that,
Speaker 1: this is the fight that we want to have. But
Speaker 1: we have a state Senator McBride and Delaware we have
Speaker 1: under the Biden administration a doctor who's transgender. Now we
Speaker 1: have them, they have lifted the band. Percent of the
Speaker 1: transgender community that's complaining that, Michael, she made a joke
Speaker 1: on Saturday Night have standing. I don't even want to
Speaker 1: be in the military, wouldn't even sign up for it,
Speaker 1: probably probably don't even vote. So what is the big
Speaker 1: issue here? So it would just go I'm sorry, I'm
Speaker 1: saying this. So the interview is coming out of NBC
Speaker 1: because it's gonna go on to our next top because
Speaker 1: the w NBA player just had top surgery. Very m te.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, you know I love me a trans
Speaker 1: main good and topless. Yeah, but long as you'll mess
Speaker 1: with that bottom. Any who, what's her name, Lauren? Come on?
Speaker 1: Her name is Lasia Larendon? Am I saying that right, Clarendon.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Clarendon, Lashia Clarendon, I'm saying that correct, right, Nick,
Speaker 1: I think it's lateshare Clarendon. I don't know because I've
Speaker 1: not heard anyone pronounce her name. I know that she
Speaker 1: went to cal and I know that she has also
Speaker 1: Lauren because you mentioned her in the story we did
Speaker 1: a few months ago. Because she's also been one of
Speaker 1: the core sources of the w n B A being
Speaker 1: behind say her name and and and the whole Black Lives. Yes,
Speaker 1: so she's been extremely active in all of that. So yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: But like flames that she's a w NBA player. She
Speaker 1: recently had top surgery, um and she actually plays for
Speaker 1: the New York Liberty Guard. And tom surgery is when
Speaker 1: a woman has her breast removed to be flat chested
Speaker 1: because that's how they identify. So she had her breath
Speaker 1: removed so she would have a flat chest like a
Speaker 1: man or like a yeah, like a male. And it's
Speaker 1: my understanding she chose to do this, um uh, for
Speaker 1: cosmetic reasons. We know that some women have made that
Speaker 1: choice to as a preventative measure as well. So it's it's,
Speaker 1: it's it's it does happen for different reasons. And I
Speaker 1: believe flame that she is identifying as non binary. So
Speaker 1: I don't know that she necessarily wants to be identified
Speaker 1: as male as much as she um just did not
Speaker 1: want the uh impingement. Maybe, well, you know, that's not
Speaker 1: my area of expertise. I identify as an a team
Speaker 1: wheel truck, and I will roll your ass over if
Speaker 1: you get in my way. Now, I identified as he, she, we,
Speaker 1: she makes the money, we spend it. That is my identity.
Speaker 1: I think what I love about the story, and one
Speaker 1: of the reasons I wanted to make sure that we
Speaker 1: spoke about it is that we always talk about people
Speaker 1: living their truth and and finding their space. And one
Speaker 1: of the things that she said that actually probably just
Speaker 1: brought it all home for me. She said that she
Speaker 1: was fearful and coming out sharing her story because she
Speaker 1: is in a relationship. She has a girlfriend or wife.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure, uh if they're married or not. But
Speaker 1: she talked about how she was afraid of what the
Speaker 1: backlash might be. And then what she found out was
Speaker 1: that there was so much overwhelming support from UH, those
Speaker 1: with whom she plays in the w n b A
Speaker 1: and the people that she feared the most would reject,
Speaker 1: and she's got She's been overwhelmed by the love and
Speaker 1: the positivity. So I always think that that is an
Speaker 1: absolutely beautiful thing when someone steps out there and UH
Speaker 1: lives lives in that, you know, uncharted territory. Let me
Speaker 1: tell you what's a beautiful place when you know who
Speaker 1: you are. When you're looking at mirror and you see
Speaker 1: you looking back at you and you recognize you, that's
Speaker 1: a beautiful place to be. That's off to you, Leasia
Speaker 1: clearing it because at least you know who you are.
Speaker 1: You know how many people walk around here don't know
Speaker 1: who the hell they are, real and powerful and still
Speaker 1: don't know who the hell they are. It's fucked up. Recently,
Speaker 1: Joe Biden signed an executive order to end a federal
Speaker 1: contracts with private prisons, which is very monumental, to say
Speaker 1: the least. Now, to provide some context, we understand that
Speaker 1: this is not going to completely obliterate the private prison
Speaker 1: UH system. It's the it's a small piece of the
Speaker 1: larger pie. However, we still want to acknowledge the fact
Speaker 1: that he did this because it's still something that's very important.
Speaker 1: You know, private prison system it's a billion dollar industry.
Speaker 1: Every bed that's filled is a check for somebody, and
Speaker 1: you know, nine times out of ten it's filled with
Speaker 1: somebody who is of a black or brown color. So, Um,
Speaker 1: the fact that Joe Biden did this, you know, within
Speaker 1: the first two weeks of his administration, I think speaks
Speaker 1: to what he's trying to do overall. So shout out
Speaker 1: to him. Um. But like I said, this is just
Speaker 1: a small piece to the larger problematic pie of of
Speaker 1: prison systems, private prison systems. Yeah, we um. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: tell you all consplain. I know you enjoy him as
Speaker 1: much as I do. Uh. Bill Maher had Van Jones
Speaker 1: on this past Friday, and one of the things that
Speaker 1: Van talked about is his work, you know with uh
Speaker 1: the Prison Project and all of that, and I forget
Speaker 1: the name of his particular good is that what it is?
Speaker 1: And talked about Uh one thing I thought was interesting
Speaker 1: And I know that people have varying opinions on Van
Speaker 1: Jones and on Kim Kardashian. But I do think that
Speaker 1: it is possible for some um of the really uh
Speaker 1: most flawed among us to still do things that maybe
Speaker 1: are are part of a larger important project, right um,
Speaker 1: And I'm trying to think of what is the uh
Speaker 1: uh without getting into the weeds. But there are those
Speaker 1: who have committed their lives to prison reform, right And
Speaker 1: one of the things he mentioned is how they've been
Speaker 1: really wise in a lot of these private prisons there
Speaker 1: in rural communities where they employ so many people, so
Speaker 1: they get tied into your economic base, and all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, you know, well, we've got x amount of
Speaker 1: people who worked there, and we ought to keep it here.
Speaker 1: But one thing he said that just resonated. Any time
Speaker 1: there's a profit margin for any thing, you are now
Speaker 1: looking at inmates as product and no longer as people.
Speaker 1: And what needs to happen, which I thought was really interesting,
Speaker 1: is that prisons should be more of a Christian based
Speaker 1: model where we're talking about reform. Everyone Christians believe in redemption.
Speaker 1: We don't focus on that in prison. It really is
Speaker 1: about incarceration and it's about punishment, and that whole system
Speaker 1: needs to change, Nicklas before we get off of here.
Speaker 1: We never get who you can pick taking for the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl because I know you're a huge who I
Speaker 1: am a football fan, you know, uh and this is
Speaker 1: oh I'm gonna get it. But you know, and my
Speaker 1: my crew, we always root for the black quarterback. Uh
Speaker 1: you know, so uh yeahy no, this is what I
Speaker 1: will say. I will say this. Tom Brady showed us,
Speaker 1: um just how he really is. Let's say that Tampa
Speaker 1: Bay Buccaneers never would have made it to the playoffs
Speaker 1: without Tom Brady. They definitely would not have made it
Speaker 1: too Super Bowl without Tom Brady because we saw what
Speaker 1: they did with the talent they have now last year
Speaker 1: with Jamis Winston who threw for more yards half of
Speaker 1: them interceptions, but look where they ended up this year.
Speaker 1: First year learns a new system, moves to a completely
Speaker 1: different climate, completely everything changed. Players he never played with,
Speaker 1: and you still get them to the How do you
Speaker 1: do that? Aaron Rodgers was supposed to stop him. He said, yeah, Aaron, Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna show you what old man can do. So
Speaker 1: part of me is like, you know what, for old
Speaker 1: men everywhere with a little bit of great I'm like, yes,
Speaker 1: I love it. But Tom Brady's behalf the reason Tom
Speaker 1: Brady is so bombed is because he's married to lunch Baby.
Speaker 1: She's beautiful to look at. I'm telling you sometimes when
Speaker 1: you look in the mirror when you get it in
Speaker 1: and the person that you wait is prettier than you,
Speaker 1: it may makes you feel wonderful. Just a bunch of beauty,
Speaker 1: good woman on the side, baby making boss. I still
Speaker 1: don't think they're gonna win, but he got a good
Speaker 1: woman on the side. Back to a thing you said,
Speaker 1: Nicholas about religion in prison. The prison definitely don't teach religion.
Speaker 1: But every when I was in prison, because I was
Speaker 1: in prison. When I was in prison, you know how
Speaker 1: many men was in there. They found God in prison.
Speaker 1: They go to jail, they get clean, they get a
Speaker 1: lot of Lord, bless this house, and they talked the
Speaker 1: whole God. But when they get out, they leave God
Speaker 1: in jail. You need a God while you was in there,
Speaker 1: but when you get out, you leave them in there,
Speaker 1: But he waiting for you when you come back. I'm
Speaker 1: just letting you know because that's the last Oh you know,
Speaker 1: I found God in jail. They are all religious and
Speaker 1: living a certain way, and then soon as they get
Speaker 1: back free into the world, they go back and revert
Speaker 1: to the same thing, if not worse. Not all of them,
Speaker 1: but a lot of them. But then but they leave
Speaker 1: God in there, So they leave the religion in there,
Speaker 1: they find God why they're in there. As soon as
Speaker 1: they get out they free. They're back to basics. Baby.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you something, religion is one of the
Speaker 1: touchiest subjects. And when my one hour special come, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna give it to y'all for the first seventeen minutes
Speaker 1: I have had a one offul time. I don't know
Speaker 1: about you, but you know I can. You know. I
Speaker 1: just want to say to the flame maths, you know
Speaker 1: something got in my eye. I don't know what's going
Speaker 1: on in this place because getting bad. I'm telling maybe
Speaker 1: it was just a hint of COVID and something. I
Speaker 1: don't know what's going Absolutely not, We're not taking that one,
Speaker 1: because no, niggers, we love your sensitivity here and we
Speaker 1: love that you know who you are. I'm telling it
Speaker 1: takes I don't cra in public in front of nobody,
Speaker 1: because I don't I'm a monster. But men who know
Speaker 1: who they are I've come from me and who they
Speaker 1: are in front of that, and that's what this page
Speaker 1: is about. We are who we are period. Yea, we
Speaker 1: are indeed, and again we're not trying to get anybody
Speaker 1: to change their minds. We are just simply trying to
Speaker 1: get you to use your mind because critical thinking it's powerful. Baby,
Speaker 1: when you're talking to me, don't come every dumb because
Speaker 1: if you come at me sideways, I'm gonna straight you up.
