Speaker 1: as a man and a touch Let me tell you
Speaker 1: how expensive it is being a man. I'm gonna stay
Speaker 1: a girl because that tuxedo costs about seven hundred dollars.
Speaker 1: Not that much. It was it was about It was
Speaker 1: because I didn't see the because we had to get everything.
Speaker 1: Oh that's why we got the COVID discount. Yes, we
Speaker 1: did about everything. Withdrawals. You had to get everything. She
Speaker 1: was socks, everything was Calvin Klein. Though. Did I look
Speaker 1: at for y'all know who I look like? I look

Speaker 1: the little white boy. Thank you guys so much for
Speaker 1: joining us here at Laugh and Learned. We appreciate you.

Speaker 1: my partner, Nick Smith. Whos gonna bring Nick in? Ware
Speaker 1: you at Mrs Smith looking handsome and fly there you are,
Speaker 1: hello handed. You know you gotta go back to why
Speaker 1: you didn't have underwear. That's I'm stuck on that part
Speaker 1: because it wasn't needed. It wasn't needed for the situation.
Speaker 1: I'm not the only one on this lab that don't
Speaker 1: wear underwear. Nick Smith's news. I've seen you in your
Speaker 1: great job and pants, working out and running. What's all
Speaker 1: this ship moving? You know what? This is the wrong
Speaker 1: show for that. This is this is me. This ain't
Speaker 1: the wrong show. It's me. This is my shop. You
Speaker 1: know me. But you know what the uh like my military,
Speaker 1: you just wear boxers like I know guys who were
Speaker 1: who were briefs. But I'm just a boxer guy. I'm
Speaker 1: a boxer guy. So just as simple. You don't even
Speaker 1: wear boxers when you have one of those great jobs.
Speaker 1: You have absolutely nothing on but life, like Lauren, please
Speaker 1: help me shift that subject. Please, thank you very much. Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: we're going to shift a little and officially start the
Speaker 1: show shot. I did actually shift when I had those
Speaker 1: tight as pants. I had to shift quite often. Let
Speaker 1: me just say so. Since we were talking about freeballing,
Speaker 1: that was what was? What was? Nicklas brought up a
Speaker 1: very interesting topic this week that we wanted to discuss
Speaker 1: because we got into a huge discrepancy about this and
Speaker 1: what was it, Nicholas we were talking about because you
Speaker 1: cook for the holidays. I cook every day. You cook,
Speaker 1: and you were doing I said, oh you know this year, Um,
Speaker 1: what are you doing? Blah blah blah blah. And You're like, oh,
Speaker 1: such and such. I said, you know what, ha ha ha.
Speaker 1: My mother washes her meat flame and flame was like
Speaker 1: you're supposed to. I said, you are flame, you flame?
Speaker 1: We made flame, you know better, and flames like, uh, Nicholas,
Speaker 1: you washed that meat? And I said, you know what,
Speaker 1: this is a perfect conversation for laugh and learn. I
Speaker 1: want to know what people out there are doing. Do
Speaker 1: you seriously not wash your meat before you prepare it
Speaker 1: to cook it. Yeah, because you all have read the
Speaker 1: same things I have, So I don't want to sound
Speaker 1: like I think, Yeah, we all are reading the same things.
Speaker 1: We know that the the food guidelines are to not
Speaker 1: wash because that causes cross contamination. Like we we we
Speaker 1: all know this, right, Flamets. Somebody helped me. You don't know,
Speaker 1: because I mean I cooked too. Cooking is actually very
Speaker 1: therapeutic for me. And what I do is I take
Speaker 1: my chicken, I rinse it a little bit, then I
Speaker 1: put it in a pan and I even put some
Speaker 1: vinegar on top of it to really kill whatever still
Speaker 1: might be there. You've got to rinse, you gotta do
Speaker 1: something to it. You gotta kill that stuff. You just
Speaker 1: put it in a pan and cook it. Yeah, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's actually it's actually you're not supposed to that's
Speaker 1: the idea that, uh, you're not supposed to wash beef, chicken,
Speaker 1: uh and pork. Yeah. But but hey, I grew up
Speaker 1: in a house where my mother did that, and she
Speaker 1: but I also grew up in a house where she
Speaker 1: used to keep cans of grease on the stove. You all,
Speaker 1: so it was I grew up in a very different situation.
Speaker 1: So you've ever in a very black house because there
Speaker 1: was two different hands of grease on the stove. There
Speaker 1: was one for the sake and chicken, and there was
Speaker 1: one for fish. There was always a separate can of
Speaker 1: grease that you could reuse for fish and different And
Speaker 1: Washington meat don't mean putting in the washing machine and
Speaker 1: put some game on. Washington meet meats, renting it off
Speaker 1: until you rent all the film and the slime off,
Speaker 1: and then you season. And now let me go back
Speaker 1: to this washing the meat thing, because see, all the
Speaker 1: salmonella and E cola ship started in the ninth late nineties,
Speaker 1: early two thousands. In the seventies, we washed our chicken
Speaker 1: wings that you could give for fat dollars a bag.
Speaker 1: It was a lot cheaper. Ain't nobody had no salmonella.
Speaker 1: Ain't nobody had no ecla? What no fucking coronavirus? All
Speaker 1: this is some new ship from watching your meat. See
Speaker 1: you vegans, let me, let me let me start. You
Speaker 1: vegans and all you health addicts, all y'all run around
Speaker 1: here time. So oh, I'm vegan and I don't eat
Speaker 1: anything unless it was grown naturally ain't ship grown naturally.
Speaker 1: Let's start there. Nothing has grown that, everything has pesticized
Speaker 1: and whoop the dupe. And I have a running standard
Speaker 1: joke with my our pair who is if you don't
Speaker 1: know what i'll pair is. And that was me being
Speaker 1: grand with my babysitter who says, well, you know, vegans
Speaker 1: technically lived twenty years longer than other people. I said,
Speaker 1: now you get hit by a bus, bitch because you're hungry,
Speaker 1: because you can't think straight. I'm not gonna be hungry. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we want to sound off on watching meat because niggas
Speaker 1: I'm telling I've seen that study, but I never heard
Speaker 1: about in the seventies or or the eighties about E.
Speaker 1: Coli or seven. This is all new, just like copid
Speaker 1: virus is. I think though, too, just the whole idea
Speaker 1: behind E coli and all of that. I understand this
Speaker 1: because also this goes back to just kind of touch
Speaker 1: on what you're talking about the vegans. I think that
Speaker 1: what happens is because now we have so many animals
Speaker 1: herded together that they're not doing the free range. They
Speaker 1: don't get to move around. Some are just bread just
Speaker 1: to be slaughtered, and because of that, they're feeding off
Speaker 1: of their own waist. In some cases and situations that
Speaker 1: you you supposedly you want to eat food that has
Speaker 1: been free range, that has been allowed to move around,
Speaker 1: grass fed, so that they they're not just raised in
Speaker 1: a pen and slaughter. Yeah, that's the idea. And then
Speaker 1: sometime they're being pumped with hormones too, because you think
Speaker 1: the bigger the chicken, the more appealing it is for folks.
Speaker 1: So you're ingesting that into your body too. So I
Speaker 1: am we are an organic household. Anything organic, that's what
Speaker 1: we're getting because we know it's hormone free, non gmo,
Speaker 1: all those good things. That's the natural way to eat.
Speaker 1: I just have one question. I want to ask, what's
Speaker 1: the difference between a cage free egg and this egg?
Speaker 1: Because guess what, they're both gonna get done cracked and
Speaker 1: put in some salt and some butter and some salt
Speaker 1: and pepper. What's the difference. Supposedly flame a happier chicken
Speaker 1: lays a healthier egg. That that supposedly seriously that that
Speaker 1: a chicken that is raised too mainly is a healthier chicken.
Speaker 1: And then that you'll even feel better eating something that
Speaker 1: had had a quality life and it tastes different too.
Speaker 1: I'm not even gonna lie. When I eat organic chicken
Speaker 1: versus regular chicken, I can I can taste the difference.
Speaker 1: So mad cow disease is because y'all got too many
Speaker 1: cows and one of the thing and they all man.
Speaker 1: So is that what man cow disease? I'm asking a question.
Speaker 1: I'm asking for friends. You know have flame like you
Speaker 1: always do, encourage our flame mats. I'm not making this up.
Speaker 1: You really are not supposed to. I'm not making this
Speaker 1: up people, I've yeah, I'm just not. I'm really not.
Speaker 1: I'm not coming out to let Feld's like I need
Speaker 1: man friend. Hell is a man cow? Ain't no damn
Speaker 1: man cow. If they're mad, it ain't no grass. That's
Speaker 1: the reason they're angry. There is no grass. They're eating
Speaker 1: that bullshit they you know, one of the things we
Speaker 1: were talking about, there are a couple of things that
Speaker 1: are happening this week in the news that we were
Speaker 1: talking about the three of us offline that we said,
Speaker 1: you know what, we really want to make sure that
Speaker 1: we introduce it today and laugh and learn so that
Speaker 1: the flame mats and everybody else could sound off. One
Speaker 1: of those is the thing that happens to lead the
Speaker 1: newscast today, UM, the P P P loans. Um. It
Speaker 1: looks like Congress has come to a deal to actually
Speaker 1: move forward with assistance for people who have been struggling.
Speaker 1: Millions of Americans as we know, UM, have been struggling
Speaker 1: both UH professionally and then at home as well. And
Speaker 1: it looks like relief maybe on the ways. That's not
Speaker 1: That is not relief. That is kiss my ass money.
Speaker 1: Where the government they love. This administration loves to holland
Speaker 1: that America is the greatest country on the planet. And
Speaker 1: England and UM Canada have been given a people three
Speaker 1: two or three thousand dollars a month since this pandemic hit.
Speaker 1: We got a stimulus check in April, and now it
Speaker 1: is December and they have agreed on six hundred dollars.
Speaker 1: Do you know how many people are hungry and standing
Speaker 1: in lanes for food and kids will not even have
Speaker 1: a Christmas dinner. And I'm not talking about the traditional
Speaker 1: turkey dressing. I'm talking about zero banks overwhelmed to and
Speaker 1: they're saying that they need help even providing that for folks. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and as we because I know we're going to open
Speaker 1: this up for people to actually sound off. But just
Speaker 1: to make sure everybody understands that this bill that was
Speaker 1: passed by Congress or Congress has agreed to a nine
Speaker 1: hundred billion dollar COVID relief bill. Took eight months to
Speaker 1: reach that agreement. What it does not include, um Democrats
Speaker 1: did not get state and local funding for testing. They
Speaker 1: wanted to be able to get more funding so that
Speaker 1: they could test more people. But Republicans also did not
Speaker 1: get that protection from lawsuits. They wanted to block the
Speaker 1: ability to sue your employer if you got sick, because
Speaker 1: some employers do tend to are are intending to force
Speaker 1: people to come back to the office. They're like, you
Speaker 1: know what, this remote work thing is not as productive
Speaker 1: for us. We need you back in the office, or
Speaker 1: we want to get rid of you. Six hundred dollars
Speaker 1: per person for family of four, three hundred dollars per week,
Speaker 1: and federal unemployment benefits will be continued. Two hundred forty
Speaker 1: eight billion for small business loans. And we do know
Speaker 1: that so many of these small restaurants and independent businesses
Speaker 1: worth suffering and billion and rental assistance, So it looks
Speaker 1: like there will be some assistance for those who were
Speaker 1: on the CUSP but possibly being evicted. We just don't
Speaker 1: know when this money is actually gonna r The eviction
Speaker 1: starts on the day after Christmas, so enjoy Christmas because
Speaker 1: evictions start December the twenty six. They can put you
Speaker 1: out the day after Christmas. Yeah, we're gonna sound out.
Speaker 1: We want your flame as to come in and give
Speaker 1: us your opinion, because six hundred dollars is ridiculous money.
Speaker 1: Do you know I got a light build at six
Speaker 1: hundred dollars right now? Yeah, and flame you and I
Speaker 1: were talking about. Also in addition to that, uh, six
Speaker 1: hundred dollars, there are some groups that actually did pretty well.
Speaker 1: So yeah, we're gonna hit that. We want to get
Speaker 1: some of these claimants in here to talk about the
Speaker 1: whole six hundred dollars because some people didn't even get
Speaker 1: the first go around the money. See that that's the
Speaker 1: issue the way they put it out. Some people didn't
Speaker 1: even get the first twelve hundred dollars that we were
Speaker 1: promised exactly. Well, I want to hear everybody sound off. Remember,
Speaker 1: if you want to sound off the flame, throw those
Speaker 1: flames in the comment so that we know that you're
Speaker 1: ready in that microphone is hot, and be ready because
Speaker 1: Kim Joy might show up. If you're not ready, We're
Speaker 1: gonna come back to Nick. If you haven't met Kim Joy,
Speaker 1: she's a blocking bitch. Block you. I don't care, baby,
Speaker 1: I'll block. What do you think about that? Because Lauren,
Speaker 1: you you work for HF. You work with a lot
Speaker 1: of people who are, um, not misfortunate, but are not poor.
Speaker 1: What's the way I want to use? So what do
Speaker 1: you think about that? Um? I think it's unfortunate. But
Speaker 1: are we surprised by this? I mean I saw a
Speaker 1: CBS News report that came out yesterday that said Ronald
Speaker 1: Reagan's idea of keep allowing the rich to get richer
Speaker 1: in the little trickle down to the poor, fifty years later,
Speaker 1: they're finally realizing that that's not a good, you know,
Speaker 1: ideology to have. It took them fifty years later to
Speaker 1: realize allowing the rich to get richer and it'll trickle
Speaker 1: down is not going to actually work. So to see
Speaker 1: things like this happening, Yes, it's unfortunate, but are we
Speaker 1: surprised anymore? They don't care about us. Every other country
Speaker 1: in the world, Japan is given their citizens ad percent
Speaker 1: relief Germany, all these different places. America is the only
Speaker 1: country that's been operating at zero for the past eight
Speaker 1: months of not giving their citizens any relief. America is
Speaker 1: the only one, the greatest country, the greatest country on
Speaker 1: the planet, is the only one not actually providing relief
Speaker 1: to folks. Isn't that something? Well, let's go back to
Speaker 1: your voting. While we're voting out some of these Republicans,
Speaker 1: we can vote on some of these Democrats too. They've
Speaker 1: been in their positions just a little bit too long.
Speaker 1: But that actually goes back to I will say, is
Speaker 1: the Georgia runoff race and why it's so important. I'm
Speaker 1: sure people can't stand Leffler. He is, he's going to
Speaker 1: have to climb a little bit. But after Leffler took
Speaker 1: that photo with that KKK member, it was a rap
Speaker 1: for her that it's not over to them. We got
Speaker 1: the fat bitch on stage. We just ain't got a
Speaker 1: big gas up in this dress yet. So still vote.
Speaker 1: You'll get to the post and vote. We're gonna bring
Speaker 1: some of y'all because we want to know exactly how
Speaker 1: you feel. And with these p P P thoans, you
Speaker 1: know who get over like a fan rend megachurches in
Speaker 1: Kanye West. How much did Kanye get two million dollars?
Speaker 1: So all I gotta do is put on a red
Speaker 1: hat and go to the White House and say that
Speaker 1: Donald Trump was the greatest man on the plan, the
Speaker 1: greatest president ever. And I get two million dollars passing
Speaker 1: me my goddamn. I got on a red hat right now.
Speaker 1: And apparently that's what That's what helps Kick came over
Speaker 1: to his billionaire status is taxpayers money. So it's not interesting,
Speaker 1: isn't it interesting? I'm telling y'all. I'm telling you guys now,
Speaker 1: y'all got to stop making smarter decisions. Critical thinking is
Speaker 1: for yourself. I can say what I want to say
Speaker 1: and think how I want to think, but the decisions
Speaker 1: you make you Let's talk to t t GN so
Speaker 1: we we need you in St. Louis. And I know
Speaker 1: you know some people who are hurting and having a
Speaker 1: hard time right now. What is six hundred dollars in
Speaker 1: about a month going to do? Because it ain't coming
Speaker 1: until the third week of January or something like that,
Speaker 1: because there's they're voting on it right now, so hopefully
Speaker 1: it actually gets past they have anyway yet, right, so
Speaker 1: it's not even any fine print to even read because
Speaker 1: they're still putting it together. Um, it's not going to
Speaker 1: do anything for anybody's household because folks are so behind
Speaker 1: in their bills. You know. I do want to say
Speaker 1: thank you to the food pants because it seems like
Speaker 1: they're on every corner, But when it comes down to
Speaker 1: your utilities of your gas and just being unemployed, it's
Speaker 1: not gonna do anything. And they they kept out small restaurants,
Speaker 1: so I don't understand, um, why that happened. Um. You know. Also, um,
Speaker 1: it's not as much to go around this time because
Speaker 1: the churches. As I told you guys, that's the reason
Speaker 1: they can keep this crazy rhetoric up is because the
Speaker 1: Republicans had them in their back pockets, you know, and
Speaker 1: now we're seeing it and it just didn't happen with them.
Speaker 1: But they are the first to fine tune this. So
Speaker 1: now that the covers are being pulled off, by the
Speaker 1: chance time that anybody else can start getting in line
Speaker 1: to do the same thing, it'll be a rap. But
Speaker 1: Joe Austen, Kenneth Copeland, Paula White, and the list goes on,
Speaker 1: you know, last time we spoke some of the folks
Speaker 1: on the line, We're like, well, you know, some of
Speaker 1: these people write books, and I'm not putting all religions
Speaker 1: under one umbrella because we know that t O is
Speaker 1: different for different religions, you know what I mean. But
Speaker 1: pastors are not selling books to buy planes. They're just
Speaker 1: not selling enough books to buy private planes. And now
Speaker 1: these white churches are getting together putting up these fake universities,
Speaker 1: which is another way to get famishing. And they don't
Speaker 1: even pay taxes. That make that make sense to me?
Speaker 1: What the churches who don't pay taxes, Why would you
Speaker 1: get taxpayer money? It's like how many times did you tie?
Speaker 1: It just provides another avenue where they can hide revenue
Speaker 1: and it be funneled the way they wanted to be funneled.
Speaker 1: But I was done with Joel when he didn't let
Speaker 1: the people in doing the hurricane, and he was like, well,
Speaker 1: no one asked me, Well, if you have a stadium
Speaker 1: and you're housing these people every Sunday, nobody should have
Speaker 1: had asked you, can they come in out of the
Speaker 1: rain and stay in the building, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: So I'm not completely I'm not completely shook by this
Speaker 1: this information. But again I think we have to be
Speaker 1: responsible for our own households. Do things that make sense
Speaker 1: in your own household. No, six hundred dollars not gonna
Speaker 1: change a lot, but make it work for you, because
Speaker 1: that's just what you're getting, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: Think about the people who have college students home. You
Speaker 1: know they're still dependent upon their parents, but they don't
Speaker 1: they're not giving us anything for those those people, and
Speaker 1: those people are are adults. They eat more than anybody
Speaker 1: you know. Now that you're at the office, they're they're
Speaker 1: at home with every light on at the house, you know.
Speaker 1: So it's not fairly just at all at all. But
Speaker 1: they're only given just a little bit to make it
Speaker 1: look like they're trying to help. But as far as
Speaker 1: it getting to your household, you're gonna have to move
Speaker 1: that around the way you see fit in your household. No,
Speaker 1: it's not coming with any dreams for tomorrow. It's just
Speaker 1: six hundred dollars. And the real question because whose renting
Speaker 1: six hundred dollars a grocery bill can be three hundred easily.
Speaker 1: Here's my biggest here's my biggest feel here they're gonna
Speaker 1: come up with a new law saying that the only
Speaker 1: way that you can get the six hundred is if
Speaker 1: you take the vaccine. I will never get that six
Speaker 1: hundred because I will never take the vaccine. Well that
Speaker 1: wasn't today today, but one of the but one of
Speaker 1: the Reps did make mentioned that if you took the best,
Speaker 1: best name, that you should get an additional Now, again,
Speaker 1: they're not gonna put I don't think anything that knew
Speaker 1: in this pot. But this pot, like you said, it's
Speaker 1: it's still in the make it. So it's not like, oh,
Speaker 1: we didn't refine print, because they're still putting it together.
Speaker 1: Nothing has jailed. Well, I think for this instance specifically,
Speaker 1: the reason why they actually came to an agreement one
Speaker 1: is because they wanted to avoid a government shutdown. That's
Speaker 1: the first thing. And two Republicans didn't want to be
Speaker 1: blamed for the shutdown. And then that also I think
Speaker 1: trickled down over to what is happening with Perdue and Loffler.
Speaker 1: They didn't Republicans didn't want to be blamed for it.
Speaker 1: So this isn't really about the American people and the
Speaker 1: good of the people. This is really just about the
Speaker 1: Republicans not looking bad. And that's the nice way of
Speaker 1: because the truth is they didn't want to be stuck there.
Speaker 1: They want to go home with their families for Christmas.
Speaker 1: That's the real truth, because they were gonna be stuck
Speaker 1: there now. Now, now that's that's probably more of the truth.
Speaker 1: But they know mitches, Mitch is such a politician. He knows,
Speaker 1: you know, he's got that rescuing bitch face by nature,
Speaker 1: but he knows, he knows that, you know, this election,
Speaker 1: this campaign in Georgia could break him in pieces. You know,
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, the man is sitting
Speaker 1: on a hundred. So these are valuable tic tics for him.
Speaker 1: And Lindsey Graham, let me tell you, you you know, so
Speaker 1: you know, no, it's not gonna shake the world up,
Speaker 1: but do what you can do with it, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. I mean, everybody's given I'm singing, some
Speaker 1: people trying to adjust their behavior just to be decent um.
Speaker 1: And that's refreshing because we're still going to have to
Speaker 1: meet the mental, spiritual, and emotional repercussions of all. And
Speaker 1: we know, you know you always bring you T T J.
Speaker 1: And y'all know g Jan is the the T T
Speaker 1: J and'st come Slide you the twenties that the moment
Speaker 1: I'm supposed to know about. We love you, tech Jan,
Speaker 1: thank you my God. Let me start with your old
Speaker 1: sting I used to watch. I used to watch your
Speaker 1: old thing every Sunday morning afore. But when I realized
Speaker 1: it was the exact same inspirational words because he had
Speaker 1: never been to seminary school. He was put in that
Speaker 1: position because his father went to be with the Lord.
Speaker 1: His words every Sunday, not mine. Every Sunday, he says,
Speaker 1: when my father went to be with the Lord. How
Speaker 1: many times is your daddy gonna that? I'm just asking
Speaker 1: for a friend, because they only get that once, and
Speaker 1: that's all he ever talks about. And then they always
Speaker 1: come with this and send money, send money, send money.
Speaker 1: Now I don't know him personally. I don't follow him
Speaker 1: because I know he's not a real preacher. He never
Speaker 1: went to seminary school. I don't even think that he
Speaker 1: knows scripture. But that happy per pick and he's pretty
Speaker 1: to look at, and he always brags, and he changed
Speaker 1: that football stadium and to a megachurch. My issue was
Speaker 1: when they had that flood in the scripture in the Bible,
Speaker 1: it says where one or more flock, then the Lord
Speaker 1: will show up. They didn't say it had to be
Speaker 1: in the church. But when those people needed to help,
Speaker 1: don't tell me that you didn't. They didn't call you.
Speaker 1: You knew you were in Houston. You knew what was
Speaker 1: going on, and you're aware of that. Bull. Do you
Speaker 1: hit me pamper? You ain't never got one of my dollars,
Speaker 1: and you won't not want a man? Yeah? I mean,
Speaker 1: and there's a couple of other people on this list
Speaker 1: that benefited from these p P wait laund since you
Speaker 1: got you how much did Joe Old Saint profit from
Speaker 1: this p P four point four millions? Four four million dollars?
Speaker 1: How many all your parishioners that go to what's name Lakewood?
Speaker 1: How much did y'all get? Did you get a twenty?
Speaker 1: Did you get a turkey? Did you get a bill paid? Oh?
Speaker 1: I'm asking for you myself, I asking for a friend. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was him. Let's go to the Church of Scientology
Speaker 1: because you know they Tom Cruise, baby, they got their
Speaker 1: own money, need your money? How much did they see?
Speaker 1: That was a low ball? Three? The baby old people
Speaker 1: right there? I ain't gonna say nothing bad about you.
Speaker 1: They show at your house and she in the middle
Speaker 1: of the night, Hey, science, what's next? Who was next?
Speaker 1: George Joyce Meyer? She got five million dollars. Joyce might
Speaker 1: not Joyce Mike is another Joe old thing to me?
Speaker 1: Hardlet religion is the same rhetoric every Sunday too. And
Speaker 1: I said rhetoric because every Sunday she talked about how
Speaker 1: father molested her over three or four years. Okay, girl,
Speaker 1: we know, we we know he molested you. Well, we're
Speaker 1: sorry that you got molested, But damn do you have
Speaker 1: to remind us of it every Sunday. I think that's
Speaker 1: part of you know, what a good churches versus a
Speaker 1: bad one is when the pastor of the preacher makes
Speaker 1: everything about them. That's not what you're there for. You're here,
Speaker 1: You're there to receive a scripture and a word to
Speaker 1: some enlightenment on your life. It's not about you, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean? And I think that also shows too,
Speaker 1: who are the real ones and who are the fake ones.
Speaker 1: I go to church when I do go to church
Speaker 1: in Chicago Marcill's Baptist Church, and my my pastor, Reverend
Speaker 1: Clarency Stores and his beautiful first lady Chante Store. I
Speaker 1: go for the spiritual feeding. I don't want to. I
Speaker 1: don't need a warm up. I don't need the choir.
Speaker 1: I need him to deliver me a word, because it
Speaker 1: always feels like he's speaking to me directly and networks
Speaker 1: for me. Who else down to them? TJ. T. D.
Speaker 1: Jackson Potter's house. How much y'all get your parishioners? And
Speaker 1: I ain't gonna throw T. G. Jackson up under the bus,
Speaker 1: but maybe after about twenty minutes the collection plays started
Speaker 1: going around. I'd be putting food stamps and everything, and
Speaker 1: then you wouldn't want me to church. I'd be dropping
Speaker 1: food stamps and everything. E B. T cars with no
Speaker 1: pinn up, all that shies. Girl, they don't want me
Speaker 1: over the church. Out stopped some ship. And then we
Speaker 1: also got Pollo White. She got three Paul of White
Speaker 1: didn't need no money because Trump had already paid Hu
Speaker 1: to call on the African Angels. Bitch, did you forget
Speaker 1: you was white? The African Angels was black. They weren't
Speaker 1: come in your way, sister. That's why he lost because
Speaker 1: you called on the Africa. You should have called on
Speaker 1: those European angels, the Nigga might have still the chance
Speaker 1: because we want that nigga lost African angles doing vote
Speaker 1: for y'all? Should we just hot enough to get black
Speaker 1: folks in American vote? You damn show know the Africans
Speaker 1: weren't go vote. And last on our lest we have
Speaker 1: Robert Jeffers. He got a two million dollars first Baptist
Speaker 1: of Dallas. Now I'm not familiar with him. I'm actually
Speaker 1: not either's who he is. I'm gonna bring you in, Nick,
Speaker 1: so you can tell us who who he is. But
Speaker 1: I'm still trying to figure out if you don't pay,
Speaker 1: if you don't pay state taxes, why would you get
Speaker 1: federal money. Well, I'm gonna say this. We're gonna be honest.
Speaker 1: This is a safe space. People might be upset by
Speaker 1: what I'm about to say. But I don't go to church.
Speaker 1: I don't go to church. No, I don't because I
Speaker 1: feel like looking Nick. He said, Oh see, I told
Speaker 1: you honestly. Our We're gonna be honest. I don't go
Speaker 1: to church because I think as a child, I went
Speaker 1: to Christian school and then in high school I went
Speaker 1: to Catholic school. So I've kind of seen both, you know, religions,
Speaker 1: we can say that, and I feel as though, if
Speaker 1: I want to have a relationship with God, I don't
Speaker 1: have to go and pay a church to have a
Speaker 1: relationship with God. That's my personal relationship, and I can
Speaker 1: do that at home. How I see fit so and
Speaker 1: my parents were similar. My dad grew up in the
Speaker 1: Catholic Church, so he went, but as he's gotten older,
Speaker 1: he got married, he kind of had the same thoughts.
Speaker 1: So I more so see myself as more of a
Speaker 1: spiritual person, and I don't necessarily identify with a religion.
Speaker 1: Now that does not make me an atheist, Let's be
Speaker 1: very clear about that. That is not what that is.
Speaker 1: But I see myself more so as a spiritual person
Speaker 1: because I saw a lot of asked backward things in
Speaker 1: the Christian school, and I saw even worse in the
Speaker 1: Catholic school. Like, for instance, we had a high school
Speaker 1: student that got pregnant and if she wanted to have
Speaker 1: an abortion, they we're gonna kick her out. So I've
Speaker 1: seen a lot of different things that have made me
Speaker 1: arrive at this place in my life to say I'm
Speaker 1: more so spiritual and if I want to have a
Speaker 1: connection with God. I don't have to go tithe and
Speaker 1: pay somebody to enhance my relationship with the Lord, just
Speaker 1: my thoughts. I love that at least you know, you
Speaker 1: know that. See this is what people because you're not
Speaker 1: relying on what somebody else thinks. I got my own
Speaker 1: relationship with God, y'all know. I'll tell you all at
Speaker 1: the time, Me and that nig is so cool, it's scary.
Speaker 1: And when I say that, somebody in box me flaiming
Speaker 1: that you call gun. Whatever relations if you have with
Speaker 1: your God, that's that's you, Me and my God one hundred.
Speaker 1: Any Bible to me, any in any religion, in any
Speaker 1: culture can say three words. The Bible can be three
Speaker 1: pages for me in every culture. God is love. That's
Speaker 1: all I believe. That's all I believe. Nick, who is
Speaker 1: this pastor jefferis and at the first Jeffers from first
Speaker 1: Baptist of Dallas. Yeah, he's another one who ascribed, signed
Speaker 1: up for and received p P PE loans and he,
Speaker 1: from I understand understanding, like the others, runs a church
Speaker 1: that once again um does not pay taxes because churches
Speaker 1: are tax exempt. But again, when the need arose to
Speaker 1: pay his staff because for the most part, people who
Speaker 1: work at these churches like Lakewood and other megachurches, they
Speaker 1: are actual employees. So as an employer, even though I
Speaker 1: may not pay taxes because I, as the pastor, don't
Speaker 1: take a salary in my church is tax exempt, my
Speaker 1: employees are on the payroll. So they, like other small
Speaker 1: businesses that were affected because parishioners were not going to church,
Speaker 1: they then said, hey, we need a loan so that
Speaker 1: we can continue to pay people. So he is another
Speaker 1: one of those churches that did that. But just to
Speaker 1: let you know, not all of them. Tony Spell of
Speaker 1: Life Tabernacle Church in Baton Rules, Louisiana had his own idea.
Speaker 1: He said, you know what, I appreciate the fact that
Speaker 1: all of you are getting these stimulus checks, but why
Speaker 1: don't you really give in the name of the Lord,
Speaker 1: I'm going to challenge you to give your stimulus check
Speaker 1: to the church because he thought that that would be
Speaker 1: the great In fact, he calls it the stimulus check challenge.
Speaker 1: Uh so hashtag it, you hashtag and you give the
Speaker 1: check that you're going to get as a stimulus check.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna just say this, and that is why I
Speaker 1: said what I said right there. That is exactly why
Speaker 1: I said what I said. What's his what's his name? Lauren?
Speaker 1: I'm with you, though, I think I do think that
Speaker 1: is Pastor Tony Spell of Life Tabernacle Church. They're trying
Speaker 1: to pimp y'all. And if any food who gave up
Speaker 1: their money doing the dumb Jim Jones ship, don't please
Speaker 1: don't drink no coolaid at that man's church. Let me
Speaker 1: just say it. If you go to that church, don't
Speaker 1: drink no juice or no cool they when they have
Speaker 1: first Communion on Sundays, don't drink that ship because that
Speaker 1: is not grape juice flame. This moves in the direction
Speaker 1: of accountability, which is another topic that we talked about
Speaker 1: there as well. We were talking about accountability specifically because
Speaker 1: you and I both being from Chicago. Uh, I had
Speaker 1: an emotional moment a lot earlier this way I do
Speaker 1: I do? You know? You know, and we'll talk about
Speaker 1: that at some point. You because I've heard some people say, Nick,
Speaker 1: it's okay to to to tap into that and know
Speaker 1: that you are, you know, emotional about things and others
Speaker 1: and say no, Nick, you've got to be hard and
Speaker 1: men don't cry. I don't know what to say about that,
Speaker 1: you know, but I definitely get emotional, particularly when it's
Speaker 1: something around black women, because I was raised by a
Speaker 1: black woman. So this woman in Chicago. All that to
Speaker 1: say before I get along with it, before Flame jumps
Speaker 1: on me about that, there was a woman in Chicago,
Speaker 1: and and Lauren and you, Flame and I talked about this.
Speaker 1: How much just bothered all of us because, yeah, her
Speaker 1: name was on Jeanette Young. And this actually happened almost
Speaker 1: two years ago, and it's now just seeing the light
Speaker 1: of day now it's getting some traction. But she was
Speaker 1: a social worker. She's fifty years old. She came home
Speaker 1: one night, she was in the middle of getting undressed
Speaker 1: from coming home from a long day of work, and
Speaker 1: the police raided her home. And it wasn't the right place.
Speaker 1: But when they raided her home, she was butt naked.
Speaker 1: They had all of their body cameras on and they
Speaker 1: handcuffed her while she was naked, and didn't waited about
Speaker 1: twenty minutes before they even put something over her. And
Speaker 1: even when a jacket was put over her, her front
Speaker 1: was still exposed. You could still see what was going on.
Speaker 1: Then another ten minutes goes by, Oh, let's put a
Speaker 1: blanket on her. But that's not stank. So the whole situation,
Speaker 1: it was just very degrading. It was very disrespectful and
Speaker 1: just unacceptable, to the point where even some people are
Speaker 1: blaming mayor Lightfoot, saying that they tried to bury this
Speaker 1: so that way there was no you know, repercussions. I
Speaker 1: don't know if that's true or not, but I have
Speaker 1: seen some reports saying that that they tried to bury
Speaker 1: this whole thing. And this is Chicago, so Chicago police
Speaker 1: is definitely going to try to buy her off. They're
Speaker 1: gonna try to pay this off because they want this
Speaker 1: to disappear, just like they did the Kwan Daniels thing.
Speaker 1: But let's let's that's a whole another subject. Baby. That's
Speaker 1: that will get me emotional because they shot that boy
Speaker 1: sixteen times. But Flame, this goes back to what you
Speaker 1: and Lauren, we're talking about the larger issue of accountability
Speaker 1: because we've seen this overreaction from police before, and we
Speaker 1: were saying that this is not about defunding. Flame. You
Speaker 1: were talking about that. You were saying that this is
Speaker 1: not about defunding, this is about here's my thing don't
Speaker 1: put if I'm raising the projects and we as black people,
Speaker 1: because I can only speak about us because I'm black.
Speaker 1: This is how I was raised. You may do another
Speaker 1: culture because you was raised around other people. I was
Speaker 1: raised around all black people in the projects. Don't bring
Speaker 1: a police officer that don't know that's not familiar with
Speaker 1: the way we speak, with the aggression in our hands
Speaker 1: when we're speaking, to think that I'm I'm just speaking
Speaker 1: to you. It's just the way we are by human nature.
Speaker 1: But you bring somebody in who's a stranger, who don't
Speaker 1: understand our culture, who don't understand that I'm going in
Speaker 1: my pockets. I can give you this phone number, or
Speaker 1: I can write something that you you're thinking, I'm attacking
Speaker 1: you because you're a coward. They keep giving these cowards
Speaker 1: guns thinking that that's going to give them courage. It
Speaker 1: does not give you courage. It just gives you an
Speaker 1: ability to get away with murdering black people. I said
Speaker 1: what the funk I said, and if anybody don't like it,
Speaker 1: you know I don't care. Yes, So don't bring these
Speaker 1: straight you cannot be raised in Whoop the Duke Nashville
Speaker 1: all white community who and then you bring somebody into
Speaker 1: my neighborhood to be a police officer who does not
Speaker 1: understand us. It's not about not accepting that I'm another person,
Speaker 1: but if you don't understand me, give classes on teaching
Speaker 1: how to deal with other people, or put police officers
Speaker 1: that are familiar with those upbringers in those situations in
Speaker 1: those places to work, because then they'll be able to say, hey,
Speaker 1: I know this guy, This guy is cool, or I
Speaker 1: know this girl, This lady is nice, and who she
Speaker 1: goes to work, she'sward because I see her. You know,
Speaker 1: you covered what you see. They don't see us, so
Speaker 1: they don't understand us because they've just been put in
Speaker 1: a situation because, oh, my uncle Joel police officer. He
Speaker 1: got me a job when y'all knew little Billy was
Speaker 1: crazy at cat ship, he'd attacked the mama, put the
Speaker 1: gun on y'all. But y'all give him a job as
Speaker 1: a police officer, a badge and a right to shoot me.
Speaker 1: That's bullshit, I shoot back, that's bullshit. I'm just saying
Speaker 1: this is all about reform and everything. Because you and
Speaker 1: I were talking about Enginet Young is unfortunately only one
Speaker 1: that we know in the last two years that we
Speaker 1: know about. Yeah, we we all know the story of
Speaker 1: Brianna Taylor, you know again in her own home. Again.
Speaker 1: These are all situations where we feel as though where
Speaker 1: police trained differently or we're a different approach, because I
Speaker 1: think that more often than not, the message has been
Speaker 1: turned into one that's anti police, and that's not what
Speaker 1: we're saying, as much as something has to change in
Speaker 1: the way that if you are in your own home
Speaker 1: where you and I talk about how that is the
Speaker 1: place you're supposed to feel the safest, there's a problem
Speaker 1: when um, that isn't happening, and that more often than
Speaker 1: not it's people who look like us. I think something
Speaker 1: too that we can touch on here is the term
Speaker 1: of defund the police, because our forever president, actually you
Speaker 1: got in trouble with a couple of activists a couple
Speaker 1: of weeks ago because he said we have to stop
Speaker 1: just saying these slogans, and he used slogan associated with
Speaker 1: the term defund the police, and some activists like Tamika
Speaker 1: Maori and Shaun King were very upset by it and
Speaker 1: kind of came after him. In my opinion, I did
Speaker 1: understand where he was coming from because when I first
Speaker 1: heard the term defund the police, I was like, why
Speaker 1: would I want to do that? And I say that
Speaker 1: because my grandfather worked at l A p D. My
Speaker 1: uncle recently retired from being a detective at l A
Speaker 1: p D. And on top of that, I have a
Speaker 1: father who's a deputy chief for l A City Fire Department.
Speaker 1: So I have family black males that are significant in
Speaker 1: my life, that are going out and putting their lives
Speaker 1: on the line every day. And so when I initially
Speaker 1: heard defund the police, and I'm like, wait a second,
Speaker 1: why why are we doing that? That's not what we
Speaker 1: should be doing. However, through more research and understanding what
Speaker 1: was going on and looking at these activists and hearing
Speaker 1: what they were trying to explain to folks, I said, Okay,
Speaker 1: that makes sense. So the conversations need to be had
Speaker 1: further than just the slogan. I'll say that in this
Speaker 1: sense not to be anything negative, but the research. The
Speaker 1: conversation has to be had because when we just say
Speaker 1: certain things without following up with the proper rhetoric, it
Speaker 1: can go it's not gonna be really well received. And
Speaker 1: you and I both know there are groups that benefit
Speaker 1: from sewing that seed, the seeds of distrust, right, they want,
Speaker 1: the fear or the confusion around terminology they want. So
Speaker 1: it is always incumbent upon us to do the research
Speaker 1: and learn more about whatever particular mission or message might be,
Speaker 1: because I think to just leave it out there would
Speaker 1: indeed mislead. But we, I think can agree as a
Speaker 1: community there needs to be more done where the relationship
Speaker 1: between community and law enforcement um is improved so that
Speaker 1: it is not one of a slave master, uh, oppressor oppressed,
Speaker 1: you know, it needs to be one of of of
Speaker 1: an engagement where where the community isn't afraid of those
Speaker 1: who are there to Yeah, and I think you can
Speaker 1: kind of maybe take this opportunity to say what it
Speaker 1: means to defund the police now that we're talking about this,
Speaker 1: So it's really about reforming, That's really what this is
Speaker 1: in terms of redirecting some funds. Because I'll be honest
Speaker 1: to my like I said, my dad works for l
Speaker 1: A city. I'm not going to put all his information
Speaker 1: on blast. But the h Los Angeles Police Department gets
Speaker 1: a significant amount of more funds than the fire department does.
Speaker 1: One which is very interesting, right, fire department, they're the
Speaker 1: ones that go out they fight the fires are risking
Speaker 1: their lives. I know plenty of people that my dad
Speaker 1: has worked with where they've fallen through a roof because
Speaker 1: they're literally going into burning buildings. They're not getting the
Speaker 1: funding and the resources as much as l a p
Speaker 1: D is. So when we say d fund the police,
Speaker 1: it's about reform. So taking some of those the funding
Speaker 1: that they get and shifting or funneling them into other
Speaker 1: resources that needed, like for instance, testing, counseling for folks,
Speaker 1: or sending making sure that you actually send a paramedic
Speaker 1: in when there's a distress call from somebody saying, hey
Speaker 1: my you know, my brother, my sister or whatever is
Speaker 1: having a mental breakdown, instead of you sending l ap
Speaker 1: D out and then them getting shot, you actually have
Speaker 1: the funds to supply somebody to come in with a
Speaker 1: medical background to address the issue properly. That's what we say.
Speaker 1: What we mean defund the police. Two times they got
Speaker 1: away with it that we know of. Amber Geiger got
Speaker 1: away with shooting the black man in his own house.
Speaker 1: Now let's let's let's go revisit that Amber Geiger situation.
Speaker 1: The lady in Texas in Dallas. Yeah, she was convicted.
Speaker 1: She only got ten years for killing this man in
Speaker 1: his house. He was sitting in his chair watching TV
Speaker 1: because she was on the phone with her ex partners
Speaker 1: while he was in bed with his wife, and she
Speaker 1: was trying to get some dick from him. But he
Speaker 1: was not gonna leave his wife. So she was frustrated
Speaker 1: and frazzled. After working two shifts. She had worked two ships.
Speaker 1: She was exhausted. She came home. She went in the
Speaker 1: wrong department. Her story not man, because let me tell
Speaker 1: you something about going in your own house. If you've
Speaker 1: been living in your house for more than two weeks,
Speaker 1: there's always a familiar smell in your own home. You'll
Speaker 1: know if you was in somebody else's house, whether you
Speaker 1: bland is three blind mice, you know you in somebody
Speaker 1: else's house because of a familiar smell in your own home.
Speaker 1: Which and when I say a familiar smell, I'm not
Speaker 1: talking about bad or good, I'm talking about you smell you,
Speaker 1: You smell your presence in your home. She was lying. Then,
Speaker 1: My issue was with the jel who came off the
Speaker 1: bench black lady and gave her a hug, and to me,
Speaker 1: she was saying, I'm sorry I had to give you
Speaker 1: these ten years when I say defund. When they said
Speaker 1: defund the police, I understood what they were talking about,
Speaker 1: but I didn't like the terminology. I am much better
Speaker 1: with the reform. But let me tell you who escalated
Speaker 1: this whole defund the police thing. People on the other
Speaker 1: side that made they try to make us look bad.
Speaker 1: And then when some of these major talk shows kept
Speaker 1: repeating it and repeating it and repeating it, it kept
Speaker 1: punching us in the face. So it's like, oh, we
Speaker 1: don't need the police. I'm almost afraid to call the
Speaker 1: police now if something happens to me, because I'm afraid
Speaker 1: they would show up and shoot me, as opposed to
Speaker 1: the purp Well, for me, I actually nine times out
Speaker 1: of ten I called the fire department before I call
Speaker 1: the police. That's what I do. I'm gonna call my purse.
Speaker 1: Now you're figuring that it's called hand but jewelry, Please
Speaker 1: say it with me. Jewelry, jewelry, hand jewelry. You know what,
Speaker 1: but this that you were talking about, they kept doing
Speaker 1: the message. This almost leads into our third topic, poor messaging,
Speaker 1: because even though we kind of touched on this last week.
Speaker 1: You and I once again, we talk all the time
Speaker 1: and people need to know that. But and sometimes we're like, oh,
Speaker 1: we need to bring this up because if you're feeling
Speaker 1: this way flame, other people are as well. And we
Speaker 1: were talking about Jerome Adams, you were talking about Nick.
Speaker 1: That's just he doesn't do it for me for the message,
Speaker 1: because I had said after last week, Lauren, quite a
Speaker 1: few people were in the d M saying, Nick, let's
Speaker 1: talk to you about you know, it was it was interesting.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say that because, um, yeah, you know, I
Speaker 1: will say this. Those who supported were those who either
Speaker 1: had older family members or worked in the health care field,
Speaker 1: and like we talked about, we're just just a little
Speaker 1: bit more in situations where they needed to protect themselves. Um.
Speaker 1: And then others were not as kind. But but you know,
Speaker 1: heys unfamiliar with is he's the surgeon general. He's the
Speaker 1: black guy who's been on the side of Fauci and
Speaker 1: Dr Burch, who I've never trusted either one of them
Speaker 1: and Trump the entire time. My issue is not that
Speaker 1: I don't believe that they will come up with a
Speaker 1: vaccine to help this this whole uh COVID nineteen my issues.
Speaker 1: That has been so many lives, and I don't know
Speaker 1: what to believe that. I only believe what I know,
Speaker 1: and I believe me. I believe me, And let's let's
Speaker 1: talk about the lies. Because I saw reports today because
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie. I took a break from the
Speaker 1: news this weekend. I needed a break, so going back
Speaker 1: in it was a lot of stuff I was catching
Speaker 1: up on. But today they're saying now that this COVID
Speaker 1: vaccine has technically been in the works for seventeen years
Speaker 1: because they had instances of it earlier before. But it's
Speaker 1: called COVID nineteen originally because this was the first instance
Speaker 1: of US seeing it. It was related to and then
Speaker 1: we had Trump saying this is operation warp speed. It's
Speaker 1: the fastest we ever developed vaccine. So which one is it?
Speaker 1: Do we start developing it seventeen years ago or is
Speaker 1: it the fastest it's ever been made. This is what
Speaker 1: we talked about with misinformation, and this is why people
Speaker 1: don't trust the scientist at this point, or actually I
Speaker 1: shouldn't say scientists. This is why people don't trust the government.
Speaker 1: That's really what this is. It's not the scientist. Let
Speaker 1: me correct myself and and Lauren, I'm glad you said
Speaker 1: that because I think again this goes back to flames
Speaker 1: original point on messaging. I think most of us trust
Speaker 1: the science, and I don't want to speak for everybody else,
Speaker 1: but I do think that the messaging has been so
Speaker 1: so skewed. And one of the things we're talking about
Speaker 1: the messaging is that, uh, Flame was saying that when
Speaker 1: you don't know what to do, you do don't do
Speaker 1: anything because you will make an erratic decision that we
Speaker 1: can be crucial for your life, you know. And now
Speaker 1: what you just said about them giving an extra three
Speaker 1: hundred dollars, are we for sale? Extra for a fucking shot?
Speaker 1: I'm not for sale and damn show not for three
Speaker 1: hundred dollars. Now, if Jeff Bezos called me, it's gonna
Speaker 1: be a little bit more than the player. Jeff, Well,
Speaker 1: you know this is not the first time our nation
Speaker 1: has been in a crisis for vaccine. In our research,
Speaker 1: we were talking about this before UH and that there
Speaker 1: there is an effort to possibly discuss reaching out to
Speaker 1: different celebrities and influencers who could help to change public opinion.
Speaker 1: Among them. One of the articles there we we're talking
Speaker 1: about today that jumped out to us from kron News
Speaker 1: in San Francisco. Could Beyonce do for Corona what Elvis
Speaker 1: did for Polio? In the height of the polio epidemic,
Speaker 1: Elvis Presley was enlisted to help get people on board
Speaker 1: for polio And is it possible that the world's most
Speaker 1: popular entertainer, Beyonce could she um if convinced that this
Speaker 1: vaccine were a great idea, could she help public conscious? Well,
Speaker 1: let me let me say this because I don't want
Speaker 1: to attack to be Have, because you know the be
Speaker 1: Have will come and shoot my house up. First of all,
Speaker 1: I love Beyonce. Second about Beyonce is a mother of three.
Speaker 1: I believe that her because and her mother Tina. It
Speaker 1: seems to be an extremely wise woman. Beyonce nothing to
Speaker 1: fall from, no chick. First of all, she doesn't need
Speaker 1: the money. She definitely don't need the popularity or the publicity.
Speaker 1: I think she's going to think about her children first.
Speaker 1: And the realization of that is I'm thinking about my children.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna let my children beguinea pigs because I
Speaker 1: need some popularity or some money. I think Beyonce will
Speaker 1: take the rational thing and just like and Beyonce, it's
Speaker 1: very close mouth about what she don't want to talk about.
Speaker 1: I think she's not going to even entertain that. That's
Speaker 1: just some ship that they put out that they want
Speaker 1: her to do. I don't think she's going to even
Speaker 1: entertain that. I don't. But my thing is, that's not
Speaker 1: her responsibility. It's not that's That's what really pisces me
Speaker 1: off here is because we have we pay taxes every year. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's what we do. Well, not everybody, I'm sorry. Most
Speaker 1: people pay taxes every year, and through our taxes, we're
Speaker 1: paying the government and these certain elected officials, for instance,
Speaker 1: you know, Congress still made a hundred and thirty thousand
Speaker 1: dollars within these eight months that nobody got anything. We
Speaker 1: pay our money, we elect these officials, and then they
Speaker 1: don't do their jobs, and then we look to celebrities
Speaker 1: and influencers to say, oh, well, can you influence the
Speaker 1: culture to make them feel safe because we didn't do
Speaker 1: our job properly? No, I pay you for a reason,
Speaker 1: do your damn job. That's it pisces me off. It's
Speaker 1: not Beyonce's responsibility to make the American people feel comfortable
Speaker 1: to shoot this vaccine in our arms. It's not her responsibility,
Speaker 1: and stop calling on her to do everything when the
Speaker 1: government fails us. It's no different from people trying to
Speaker 1: call her out saying, well, what is she doing for
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen relief? She was doing plenty for the city
Speaker 1: of Houston. She just didn't advertise it, and it's still
Speaker 1: doing stuff. Stop calling on her to fix America. Stop it.
Speaker 1: This of course fell on This of course fell under
Speaker 1: the umbrella because the numbers continue to rise. Uh flam
Speaker 1: And I talked about a passenger on the United flight.
Speaker 1: United is what I take all the time. Um, he
Speaker 1: didn't disclose he was positive. Um, he's just getting on
Speaker 1: the plane or just felt just a little bit sick
Speaker 1: but had someplace he needed to be. Um, and he
Speaker 1: died on the plane. So now United is trying to
Speaker 1: get in touch with everyone else who may have been
Speaker 1: on that flight because needless to say, passenger drops dead
Speaker 1: on the plane for uh complications to COVID. You of
Speaker 1: course have been exposed to COVID's That's just a no brainer.
Speaker 1: And I think that it's a situation that's simple. Uh
Speaker 1: that United is now talking about possibly uh screening people
Speaker 1: before they're allowed to board the plane, because needless to say,
Speaker 1: not everyone is going to be forthcoming about their own
Speaker 1: diagnosis if it impedes on what it is that they
Speaker 1: want to do. And California has reached critical masks, it
Speaker 1: looks like we're gonna bring you back in, and we're
Speaker 1: gonna bring in another flame. Man two sounds off on this,
Speaker 1: but we're gonna bring you back on subject number three.
Speaker 1: So stay handsome, and I hope you've got pants on
Speaker 1: back uh that that you know? With that whole Beyonce thinking,
Speaker 1: the whole celebrity thing, I hate that every time they
Speaker 1: think somebody gets in a position of a little fame
Speaker 1: or little power that you're naturally supposed to be the
Speaker 1: spokesperson for what, whatever your community or whatever you represent.
Speaker 1: I love Beyonce and I love so many other people,
Speaker 1: but no one will persuade me to do nothing that
Speaker 1: I don't want to do because I think for me. Period.
Speaker 1: But that's the unfortunate thing. They'll flame you in some ways.
Speaker 1: You're an anomaly because some of these folks don't think
Speaker 1: for themselves. Look at Trump supporters. I'm just saying some
Speaker 1: people literally look to these celebrities to be the one
Speaker 1: to guide them. And I'm just saying, Beyonce, as a
Speaker 1: black woman in America, that shouldn't have to be her responsibility.
Speaker 1: It's just not. She has her own family. To your point,
Speaker 1: she's got her own kids, she's got her own family
Speaker 1: to think about. She shouldn't have to be thinking about
Speaker 1: the well being of the entire country because the government
Speaker 1: can't do their jobs. What is that that is the
Speaker 1: greatest country on the planet. You didn't know? Hello, my god,
Speaker 1: just Michelle, Hello Hill, you just say too, I love
Speaker 1: it is. Let me prepared, let me explain to you.
Speaker 1: So Michelle is my wonderful UK correspond because she's in
Speaker 1: London and she always, indeed, she keeps us rest on
Speaker 1: what's going on over the pond. She always goes until
Speaker 1: the queen and I saying hello, Tell the Queen, I'm
Speaker 1: coming over for some tea. As soon as we get
Speaker 1: past this COVID she she said, he's waiting for you.
Speaker 1: She's really got the paddle laid out for you. Don't worry.
Speaker 1: I want some of that jury. So wait a minute, Michelle,
Speaker 1: you guys got a new strain over there. What is
Speaker 1: that about yeah, well it's it's it's the finals. It's
Speaker 1: self here has kind of mutated into they say it's
Speaker 1: a variant and basically it's still COVID. However the transmission
Speaker 1: is quicker, So basically they're trying to say to us
Speaker 1: we're back on lockdown here in London and most of
Speaker 1: England will probably be in lockdown by Thursday. But basically
Speaker 1: are saying the transmission from one person to the other
Speaker 1: is far greater than the actual original COVID that we
Speaker 1: always living with for the past eight months, so they're
Speaker 1: basically tending us to be extra careful. They want to
Speaker 1: start testing students when they go back to school um
Speaker 1: after this Christmas period because they want to see whether
Speaker 1: the students were either carriers or have basically had transmitted
Speaker 1: the disease to us adults or two members of people's family.
Speaker 1: So everyone's back in bubbles where there is no Christmas
Speaker 1: in London. I personally feel that when they brought us
Speaker 1: back out of lockdown back in December, it was a
Speaker 1: wrong move for the government again with a lot of
Speaker 1: miss messaging. They want to please one sector of the
Speaker 1: you know, the country, they want to please another sector
Speaker 1: of the country, and what is basically bringing is the
Speaker 1: country itself is not listening to nobody and having a
Speaker 1: free fall, which there in turn has made the numbers rise.
Speaker 1: London never used to have so much number, you know,
Speaker 1: um people with the virus or even just symptoms, and
Speaker 1: now it's everything skyrocketed. So I'm here in my house
Speaker 1: being here. We got put down, lockdown Thursday. Every two weeks.
Speaker 1: Our government Mr Boris has given us, you know, updates,
Speaker 1: but again you have no faith in him. He said
Speaker 1: that he's given over fifty thousand people the vaccine, which
Speaker 1: is only part one of vaccine. It comes in two stages.
Speaker 1: So but then you still are not allowed to go out.
Speaker 1: You still have to be within your own sector. You
Speaker 1: can't go in pubs and restaurants, shops. Everything's closed down
Speaker 1: again back in London. So my thing is they tell
Speaker 1: us one thing, they tell us to do another thing,
Speaker 1: but then a day or so later they changed their
Speaker 1: minds again. We know whether we're coming or going over
Speaker 1: there as a regular person, let alone. I'm not a
Speaker 1: business owner, you know, I I have a job. But
Speaker 1: luckily they've kept the furlough going until April twenty one,
Speaker 1: which makes me think for myself that they know a
Speaker 1: lot more than what they're really telling us, in the
Speaker 1: fact that this is going to be a lot longer
Speaker 1: than just this Christmas period one January February March, even
Speaker 1: we could still be in another lockdown across the world.
Speaker 1: I don't know about the America, but I'm just mainly
Speaker 1: speaking for the for England at the moment. Michelle, let
Speaker 1: me ask you a question. Didn't Boris test posity for COVID? Yeah,
Speaker 1: but he had it. He had it back in at
Speaker 1: the beginning. This was maybe around I don't know, April,
Speaker 1: this earlier on when we was in a lockdown, and
Speaker 1: he when he did get positive, and he did isolate
Speaker 1: twice because a few months back one of the cabinet
Speaker 1: ministers had a meeting and a few of those ministers
Speaker 1: got tested positive. So he put himself in side self isolation.
Speaker 1: But also in England, what the problem is with here
Speaker 1: we have COVID, but then we have the Brexit situation
Speaker 1: where the government is not really focusing now on COVID.
Speaker 1: They're focusing by the first of January because they have
Speaker 1: to make Europe kind of give us deals which we
Speaker 1: haven't gotten. And Boris is kind of going in circles,
Speaker 1: trying to sort us out with the COVID, trying to
Speaker 1: deal with the European Council, and trying to get deals
Speaker 1: done on our behalf, and they think is a missionmatch
Speaker 1: over the here. So the government is really not ptention
Speaker 1: to us as citizens. Definitely don't they call him like
Speaker 1: the Donald Trump of the UK is kind of his
Speaker 1: nickname's He's definitely a wanna be, want to be Trump supporter.
Speaker 1: And I think that was a problem because, like most things,
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the lot, then when Trump got
Speaker 1: sick and then obviously you had your elections. It's really
Speaker 1: funny how after your elections in America, US as England,
Speaker 1: we suddenly had the vaccine and then a week or
Speaker 1: two later everybody else had the vaccine. I don't believe
Speaker 1: in coincidence like that. I think that everything was planned
Speaker 1: to see whether Trump was still going to be in
Speaker 1: office after you know, the elections, because he lost. It's like,
Speaker 1: oh god, we have to now give the people the vaccine.
Speaker 1: They're gonna have a new government in America, you know,
Speaker 1: Biden and Kamala Harris Um. You know, they're gonna obviously
Speaker 1: be world leaders to be looked upon. So people now
Speaker 1: are kind of saying, you know what, we can't deal
Speaker 1: with Trump. No more, we don't have to deal with Trump.
Speaker 1: We have to now find new friends and new favors,
Speaker 1: and that's going to be another problem for our leaders.
Speaker 1: Also basically trying to be nice to other leaders around
Speaker 1: order because a lot of leaders forward boris, I'm sorry
Speaker 1: for Donald Trump in his decisions around the world, in
Speaker 1: the way they govern their countries, and it's a bit
Speaker 1: of a backlash now and the people citizens are now,
Speaker 1: you know, facing the problems we're suffering, people are dying.
Speaker 1: You know, this kind of somebody just put in the
Speaker 1: comments and this kind of just was like a full
Speaker 1: circle moment for me. Um. I don't know if you
Speaker 1: guys have seen in the news reports that across the
Speaker 1: world they were saying it's going to be a dark
Speaker 1: winter for us. Have you guys heard that in the
Speaker 1: UK as well? Oh yeah, they've been telling us that
Speaker 1: since summer. They've already told us that our second you
Speaker 1: know wave was going to come around the Christmas time.
Speaker 1: Bear in mind also in England we have the flu season,
Speaker 1: so you know, a lot of the elderly would have been,
Speaker 1: you know, getting sick because of one thing. And then
Speaker 1: also they're putting it down to COVID. Some of the
Speaker 1: statistics I'm not sure whether it is flu or COVID.
Speaker 1: They never really tell us about, you know, the honesty
Speaker 1: statistics I think a bit too hit and miss. But yeah,
Speaker 1: they told us about this dark winter from time, which
Speaker 1: is why I believe they knew about, you know, how
Speaker 1: they were going to deal with the situation way back
Speaker 1: in March April. May you know, they just kind of
Speaker 1: keep the society just kind of wait, waiting because government
Speaker 1: don't make decisions that instantly so quickly, unless there's a
Speaker 1: threat of a nuclear war or some kind of global
Speaker 1: you know, destruction. They see, they have meetings, they decide
Speaker 1: what they're gonna do months in advance of telling us that,
Speaker 1: you know, citizens and the voters. I think that's my
Speaker 1: point though, because what I'm thinking, what I'm seeing here
Speaker 1: is that they knew a at the second strand, because
Speaker 1: this is the first time I've heard that there was
Speaker 1: a second strand of COVID. It just so happens that
Speaker 1: this new strand that's coming up is more contagious than
Speaker 1: the original COVID strand and that's what so I think
Speaker 1: that's what this whole it's going to be a dark
Speaker 1: winter thing is. Because they're saying it's only in the UK.
Speaker 1: I guarantee you it's already here in the US. Go ahead. No,
Speaker 1: I was gonna say retro, we're saying it's gonna spread.
Speaker 1: I mean they are only basically telling us now you know,
Speaker 1: we've got the vaccine, but also suddenly, now we've got
Speaker 1: this new strain. It is hitting people severely, but again
Speaker 1: they're turning us just become It's that if you get it,
Speaker 1: or you get COVID, your symptoms are still going to
Speaker 1: be the same as the original strain because virus is new.
Speaker 1: Take quite a number of times. So we just have
Speaker 1: to kind of in a sense, we are, in a
Speaker 1: way still the guinea pigs. You know, I like flame.
Speaker 1: I'm not taking the vaccine, they said, I refused to
Speaker 1: take it. I've never taken a flu shot, so I
Speaker 1: refused to take that. And just to retreate what you
Speaker 1: said Loran earlier, I don't think any former celebrity should
Speaker 1: tell any voter what they should do, whether take the
Speaker 1: vaccine or not. Even here in England, they tried that
Speaker 1: pr campaign with us. I was I put in the comments.
Speaker 1: You know, we had a football and Mr Mark Rashville
Speaker 1: he plays from UM I think it's Majesty United And
Speaker 1: basically he went to the government first of all and said, listen, Boris,
Speaker 1: can you basically give them their school kids, you know,
Speaker 1: food to eat during the lockdown because some people are
Speaker 1: their starvation in England believe it or not. You know,
Speaker 1: we're not a richer, vibrant country as people think. And
Speaker 1: Boris basically said no. So this young football off his
Speaker 1: back of his you know, off his back of his hand, decided,
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm going to it myself. When he
Speaker 1: managed to secure funds from companies and food donations, then
Speaker 1: the government jumped on board and I think that is despicable.
Speaker 1: The governor should have been there from the very off,
Speaker 1: not have to wait for a footballer to come and say, listen,
Speaker 1: people are starving in London, in England. You know what
Speaker 1: I mean? You know what I need no news, Thank you, Michelle.
Speaker 1: I was fucked up. Let me just say this. I
Speaker 1: wish I feel at this moment in my life. I
Speaker 1: wish I hadn't head children to experience this because I
Speaker 1: don't know how to explain this for real to my kids.
Speaker 1: So if anybody's out there at your age, even Lauren,
Speaker 1: because Lauren don't have any children as of yet, No,
Speaker 1: I don't wait until if you can, wait until this
Speaker 1: is done, wait until we get some resolution with this,
Speaker 1: because we are just being used as fucking collateral damage
Speaker 1: even though we're in the in the UK people we
Speaker 1: are not. We are is showing us that we are
Speaker 1: nothing as people, not just black or white, just period. Well,
Speaker 1: if you don't have the finances, you're nothing at this
Speaker 1: point in time, because there thank you. Yeah, so that's
Speaker 1: what matters at this point. It's the rich still getting
Speaker 1: richer and still benefiting off of taxpayer dollars and the government.
Speaker 1: You know, unfair Lee, And if you don't have that
Speaker 1: kind of financial backing, you were just lost on the costs.
Speaker 1: I wish. I just wanted to strain that Jeff Bezos
Speaker 1: gonna get because you saw that that Mike Pence took
Speaker 1: the shot live on YO, I'm gonna talk about that.
Speaker 1: Let me say so, Mike Pence took the shot last week,
Speaker 1: but then they had a video going around that said
Speaker 1: it was one of those retractable needles, so when the
Speaker 1: needle hit his arm, it went back into the actual
Speaker 1: um and to the syringe, not until his arm he said, oh,
Speaker 1: I didn't feel the thing. Well, of course he didn't
Speaker 1: feel the thing. He never got injected with anything. I'm
Speaker 1: telling y'all now, please think for yourself and pay attention
Speaker 1: to what's going on around you, because it's some bullshit.
Speaker 1: And I know some of us like, I'm just gonna
Speaker 1: take the vaccine so I can survive. I can live.
Speaker 1: You're not going to survive. You saw the nurse on TV.
Speaker 1: They gave us a shot. She wasn't even a sister,
Speaker 1: she was a white girl. They gave her a shot.
Speaker 1: About two minutes later, she collapsed right there on that.
Speaker 1: I know they wished they could take that away, and
Speaker 1: we didn't see that. And what they tried to say
Speaker 1: was she had a condition where she sperience pain. It
Speaker 1: caused her to collapse. Somebody thing was, if you knew
Speaker 1: that ahead of time, why did you pick her to
Speaker 1: be on cameras You knew she had a pain. What
Speaker 1: do you wanna call it? A pain tolerance syndrome? I
Speaker 1: don't even know what the bones furs like Donald Trump
Speaker 1: and he didn't want to go to the military. Bitch,
Speaker 1: she had bones spurs, I see it. What the hell
Speaker 1: I see? She had no damn bones spurs. They sucked
Speaker 1: up and they let us see the real And that's
Speaker 1: why I'm telling you. When they see it, when y'all
Speaker 1: your eyes don't fool you. When you see some ship,
Speaker 1: believe what you see. Didn't mind Angelo say what was
Speaker 1: her statement? Lauren? Um, When they show you who who
Speaker 1: they believe them, believe what they showing you. Stop listening to.
Speaker 1: Oh this was that, this wasn't that, this was exactly
Speaker 1: what we saw. Now they saying that people who don't
Speaker 1: even have allergies having allergic reactions to this. And that's
Speaker 1: round one. Remember it's two doses. Baby, understand me. Wait, Wait,
Speaker 1: pray and spray. This is the year because I've been
Speaker 1: praying all year, and I was prayed every big would
Speaker 1: come in my vicinity with Lisol, including everybody in this office,
Speaker 1: because everybody gets every week. Everybody gets freighted. Lord and
Speaker 1: I just had a COVID test on Thursday and we
Speaker 1: are both taking negative. I don't know if the lifesong works.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it doesn't work, But I've been
Speaker 1: doing the same thing for eight or nine months. My
Speaker 1: grandmama once told me, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Speaker 1: I don't need no shot. I need a shot of millions,
Speaker 1: but I don't need no shot from the vaccine. And
Speaker 1: I think this can also segue into our last topic
Speaker 1: of the misinformation that's happening around this whole Russian hack
Speaker 1: for the US that's been going on for six months
Speaker 1: that we didn't know about big Brother Big Brother watching
Speaker 1: us and somebody watching them, but they say that they
Speaker 1: don't need to hack us. Donald Trump has given them
Speaker 1: all the information they need to putin because he don't
Speaker 1: want them piss tapes released from the prostitutes. I see it.
Speaker 1: What I said, Well, yeah, I think Putin has a
Speaker 1: couple of things on a couple of folks, And that's
Speaker 1: kind of why we see certain senators like Lindsey Graham
Speaker 1: kind of shift his narrative from was a it was
Speaker 1: a huge shift, um. But yeah, it just goes back
Speaker 1: to all the mis messaging. I feel like it's coming
Speaker 1: from the government, and that's part of the reason why,
Speaker 1: you know, there's a lot of distrust there in all
Speaker 1: aspects from not taking care of us financially during this
Speaker 1: you know, pandemic, not providing accurate information for us the vaccine.
Speaker 1: There's so many misinformations, and then you know just what's
Speaker 1: happening in our country as a whole. You know, systemic
Speaker 1: racism is just constantly something we're faced with. And then
Speaker 1: we get told things on the back end that there's
Speaker 1: hacking going on and we don't know anything about it,
Speaker 1: and we don't know what they've taken, right It's just
Speaker 1: like everything else, um Flame. It looks like they've talked
Speaker 1: about how it's it's a situation where they may have
Speaker 1: laid traps like someone and someone used the analogy I
Speaker 1: thought was absolutely fantastic. You know someone's been in the house,
Speaker 1: you know they've been through your drawers, but you don't
Speaker 1: know what they've seen, and you don't know what they've
Speaker 1: taken because you're not looking for that thing right now.
Speaker 1: So I came in Flames house, I took a T shirt,
Speaker 1: but you weren't looking for that T shirt, so you
Speaker 1: don't know what I'm doing with that T shirt. And
Speaker 1: and it's just one of those things where this is
Speaker 1: uh grown into a situation where if it were not
Speaker 1: for the private sector, letting us know that something had
Speaker 1: gone wrong, um that we wouldn't even be aware of it.
Speaker 1: Right now, let me tell you what breaks down the
Speaker 1: whole government constitution. First of all, I don't know whatever
Speaker 1: you measure a man to be. That's on you. I
Speaker 1: don't know what. Everybody has a different measure of a man.
Speaker 1: But with Marco Rubio, with his cutthroat trying to get
Speaker 1: some popularity, want to be in Marco Rubio should be
Speaker 1: voted out. I don't know what what state is he
Speaker 1: in Florida? He should be gone. They love him? And
Speaker 1: what's the other one? What? What's the crew? The complete ass,
Speaker 1: whole coward ass. Let me tell you something. I'm not
Speaker 1: a married person. I have no intentions, don't getting married.
Speaker 1: I don't want to get markers. Don't ask me for
Speaker 1: because I want to give it to you. Uh. When
Speaker 1: he when Donald Trump destroyed Ted's crew Cruis his wife
Speaker 1: in his presence, and then Ted Crews said nothing and
Speaker 1: then turned around and jumped on the bandwagon. I don't
Speaker 1: know who your wife is, but she should have left
Speaker 1: you. You You would have never gotten no pussy for me,
Speaker 1: not ever again. You've been working at hole in the
Speaker 1: wall because I would never let you disrespect my wife
Speaker 1: or my partner in my presence and then jump on
Speaker 1: your team. Understand that you have to see people for
Speaker 1: what they're I don't like fencewriting me in period. We
Speaker 1: got a lot of those, even on CNN and I
Speaker 1: ain't gonna say his name Vay and Jones, but we
Speaker 1: got a lot of fence writing me and make up
Speaker 1: your mind. It's not that you're with us or against us,
Speaker 1: but at least if you're in the middle, we know
Speaker 1: it's one or the other because they have shown us
Speaker 1: that you can't be on this side or on that
Speaker 1: you have to pick a side. They keep throwing us
Speaker 1: up under the bus. Canye, I think I think it's
Speaker 1: simpler than that. I genuinely believe. You know, we've all
Speaker 1: been in school. I think there are people who are
Speaker 1: just afraid of the bully, right, Like he even attacked
Speaker 1: Ted crwiss father. If you remember, he said his father
Speaker 1: was responsible for killing Kennedy And we know that's not true.
Speaker 1: But but the fact that even said had that on
Speaker 1: on the stage. You know, Uh, going back to Marco Rubio.
Speaker 1: You mentioned Marco Rubio. Marco Rubio was part of De
Speaker 1: santiss mission to not encourage people to wear masks, continue
Speaker 1: to gather and moving crowds maskless, continue to bounce around
Speaker 1: and say no vaccine, vaccine is until the vaccine became available.
Speaker 1: Marco Rubo, Marco Rubio is one of the people who
Speaker 1: took first in line take the shot less. I hope
Speaker 1: they gave him the experimental shot. And let's talk about
Speaker 1: De Santis too, because I just want to shift to
Speaker 1: that really quick, because you brought him up and brought
Speaker 1: up some things that came out. He there was a
Speaker 1: memo that came out last week that specifically said let
Speaker 1: them get infected. Yeah, and once that once he received
Speaker 1: that memo, he opened up all the beaches, all the bars,
Speaker 1: all the restaurants. He intentionally intentionally infected the people of
Speaker 1: Florida with COVID. And that's why a report came out
Speaker 1: that said Fort Lauderdale is a most dangerous city in
Speaker 1: the country for COVID. Right now, Flame Flame, Lauren, we
Speaker 1: were talking about this also. If you notice we're all
Speaker 1: on Instagram, we all have friends and cities that have
Speaker 1: a larger African American demographic. We got friends who are
Speaker 1: partying their butts off in Atlanta, their party and their
Speaker 1: butts off in Florida. And I'm like, wow, you know,
Speaker 1: and now mind you, I'm in Arkansas. I'm the only
Speaker 1: person here, you know, who turn up? Turn up. It's
Speaker 1: just me and that Christmas tree right there is nobody here.
Speaker 1: If it were not for Flame talking on the phone
Speaker 1: every day, I'd have nobody to talk to. I really
Speaker 1: continue to party in Atlanta. Just make sure you get
Speaker 1: your ass to the Pose on January five so that
Speaker 1: we can take back you see it all as Florida goes.
Speaker 1: You know, I call that the many petty state. And
Speaker 1: I ain't talking about the manicure and a pedocut. I'm
Speaker 1: talking about the men pedophiles. Tons of them are most
Speaker 1: A lot of pedophiles migrate, not all, and not all
Speaker 1: of Florida is bad people, but a lot of pedophiles
Speaker 1: migrate to Florida because it's warm weather and there's lots
Speaker 1: of children, and they fucking love kids. And I'm telling
Speaker 1: you right now, I do not believe in my whole
Speaker 1: hearted heart that pedophile can be reformed, he can be changed,
Speaker 1: he can be fixed. None of that. I say. We
Speaker 1: go there from the virus helb I'll get there. Florida.
Speaker 1: You mentioned the Ronda Santist is Ronsea Santis is the mayor,
Speaker 1: I mean the governor of Florida. He is a complete asshole.
Speaker 1: He reminds me of Patrick the starfish from uh from
Speaker 1: SpongeBob SquarePants because he's a complete retard. He want them
Speaker 1: short yellow busses, brothers that draw pictures and then use
Speaker 1: the bookers to make the nose and make the eyes. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's very sad to me, rocking and ship with a
Speaker 1: helmet on and the bowl of cereal. And he he
Speaker 1: used his helmet for the boat for the cereal. This
Speaker 1: ain't no dig get nobody who got special needs kids?
Speaker 1: Because I ain't talking to you. I see it the
Speaker 1: Santist if you take it personally, which we would even
Speaker 1: knew you had a specially these kids. If you're taken
Speaker 1: in personally, so just taking how I gave it to you.
Speaker 1: God damnit, I'm telling you now to go. Thinking and
Speaker 1: thinking for yourself will save your life. I don't need
Speaker 1: you to save my life. Critical thinking and thinking for
Speaker 1: you will save your life because I'm gonna save man
Speaker 1: and my children because I think for me I'm gonna
Speaker 1: say this because I know you're gonna wrap up pretty soon.
Speaker 1: You mentioned how this is a difficult time to have children.
Speaker 1: Flame you know, it's so funny because I feel like
Speaker 1: now we're sounding like our parents. Because my mother's grandfather
Speaker 1: used to tell her, you know, baby, it's nothing worse
Speaker 1: than trying to raise a child through the depression. Right then,
Speaker 1: my mother genuinely believes the worst time in history Nick
Speaker 1: was when we lost uh Kennedy and King Nick was
Speaker 1: just such a dark time. So every parent, I think
Speaker 1: goes through this moment when they feel like, oh, nothing
Speaker 1: could possibly be darker than this moment. I do believe
Speaker 1: in this country, and I'll just close with this. I
Speaker 1: do believe we will get through this, and I do
Speaker 1: believe that we will get through this together. And I
Speaker 1: understand that we all have different opinions about the way
Speaker 1: to do that and how we will do that. But
Speaker 1: I see people leaning on each other in difficult times,
Speaker 1: and I do believe that the holidays bring people together.
Speaker 1: I am blessed to have you at work because we
Speaker 1: can't get together because of COVID nineteen. So you go
Speaker 1: back so believed in this country, But what about the
Speaker 1: three hundred and fifteen thousand people who are also and
Speaker 1: counting who have died, who believed in this country. I'm
Speaker 1: speaking for them, you know. I what I would say
Speaker 1: to that, Nick, I just hope that the story, when
Speaker 1: it's written, of what's happened in this period of our history,
Speaker 1: is written correctly, because I think a lot of times,
Speaker 1: you know, we get these westernized European history versions of
Speaker 1: what actually took place in our country and how this
Speaker 1: country was started. So I hope that they write it
Speaker 1: correctly so people can actually understood what we go through,
Speaker 1: so that way, if we do have another dark time
Speaker 1: in our history, whenever that may be, we actually have
Speaker 1: learned from our mistakes and are actually using the expert
Speaker 1: tutelage to do better for our country. Let me let
Speaker 1: me close on this and let you guys know that
Speaker 1: I appreciate you all following me here on laugh and learn,
Speaker 1: because this is the he, the she, and the we.
Speaker 1: You don't understand is that this didn't even happen like this.
Speaker 1: This this happened Lauren just was able to come and
Speaker 1: fell in and be and do such an amazing job.
Speaker 1: And we love your energy, Lord, I love your youth.
Speaker 1: I love your intelligence, and she pretty to look at.
Speaker 1: But what I want you guys to know is that
Speaker 1: what I say this all the time, My motto is
Speaker 1: kano bitch, do what I do. And I don't say
Speaker 1: that out of vanity. I don't say that out of
Speaker 1: nobody else can do the job that I'm doing. You
Speaker 1: cannot do it like I do it. And if you
Speaker 1: believe in who you are as a person and surround
Speaker 1: yourself with people that will help you grow and think
Speaker 1: and just allow you to be who you are Nick
Speaker 1: Smith and Lauren Hogan and Trible and Kindle. Because I'm me,
Speaker 1: I'm not changing for nobody. I'm not shuffling. I don't
Speaker 1: have to. If you I don't come to you, I
Speaker 1: allow you to come to me. If it don't match,
Speaker 1: it don't match. Everybody's not going to get along. It
Speaker 1: don't matter about gay or fat, or black or white
Speaker 1: or straight. It matters that if we don't have nothing,
Speaker 1: we don't have nothing. And you're gonna feel that right off.
Speaker 1: I ain't working with you. If I don't fun with you,
Speaker 1: I don't funk with you. I prefer to say, if
Speaker 1: I don't sunk with you, we don't funk with you.
Speaker 1: But I can't think for nobody else. I can only
Speaker 1: think for me. The decisions you make today about your
Speaker 1: future will have will Sometimes we'll give you a future.
Speaker 1: But if you make the wrong decision and listen to
Speaker 1: somebody else being segued by the government, listen to your
Speaker 1: mama sometimes because your mom ain't always right, they what
Speaker 1: they say, your mom ain't always right, or you selling
Speaker 1: yourself out because we're desperate for money and they're relying
Speaker 1: on us being desperate for money at these times. So
Speaker 1: we're gonna give you an extra three hundred dollars, We're
Speaker 1: gonna give you another thousand ills, We're gonna pay your rent.
Speaker 1: Think long term, don't think right now. Think tomorrow. And
Speaker 1: tomorrow is not guaranteed to nobody. But don't just think now,
Speaker 1: think tomorrow. Ladies and gentlemen, this is laugh and Learn
