Speaker 1: I finished it. Oh, y'all ain't pay me yet, but
Speaker 1: I did finish it. No, So thank you guys for
Speaker 1: joining us here today. Today's topics are so much going
Speaker 1: on in the world. I want to start with the
Speaker 1: story I saw in Tennessee of the police stopping a
Speaker 1: young man. No, I want to get the heavy. Let's
Speaker 1: let's start. Like, that's too heavy to start. I want
Speaker 1: to start heavy. Let me tell you. I was like,
Speaker 1: so Thursday, I did an interview with Fox News and
Speaker 1: as well as uh NBC speaking about the sanctuary of
Speaker 1: comedians on stage and that's not being sensored without words,
Speaker 1: and um, you know, they click baby and made it
Speaker 1: like it was for Dave Chappelle. But I was like,
Speaker 1: this was never about Dave. This was about all comedians
Speaker 1: not being sensored. When I'm on stage, I'm worried about
Speaker 1: remember what I'm supposed to tell y'all. I damn sure
Speaker 1: on them, We're only remember what I'm not supposed to
Speaker 1: tell y'all that's too much work for me. As a comedian,
Speaker 1: I'm trying to make the people feel good and laugh.
Speaker 1: So when they interviewed me about how do I feel
Speaker 1: about comedians being censored and what's happening in the world,
Speaker 1: my first go to was, well, make this make sense
Speaker 1: to me. Make this make sense to me, because here
Speaker 1: it is. It took me five years to get out
Speaker 1: of high school. I didn't even go to college. I graduate.
Speaker 1: It took five years to graduate from high school because
Speaker 1: I was being a select I wouldn't go on all
Speaker 1: the time. Any who I did graduate with with the
Speaker 1: next year's class in June with everybody else. And I
Speaker 1: am not a rocket scientist. But make this make sense
Speaker 1: to me. If my first Amendment rights is a right
Speaker 1: to freedom of speech, religion, and to challenge the government,
Speaker 1: and my second Amendment rights is the right to bear arms,
Speaker 1: you tell me that as a working comedian in this America,
Speaker 1: I can say things on stage that make you laugh,
Speaker 1: think across the social and racial boundaries, um challenge your
Speaker 1: thought process with critical race thinking, make you feel good
Speaker 1: about yourself and sometimes hurt your feelings, but you still
Speaker 1: leave a live and that the a R fifteen who
Speaker 1: has one purpose to kill and everything in his path.
Speaker 1: Because Willison't got on name up. You tell me words
Speaker 1: get more weight than a bullet. Explain that to me.
Speaker 1: You know Fox was I'm gonna show that because I've
Speaker 1: heard of mass shootings every week. Every other day there's
Speaker 1: a mass shooting. Have you heard of mass laughings taking
Speaker 1: anybody out. I'm asking for a friend, I'm asking for
Speaker 1: all the comedians because I never heard of a mass
Speaker 1: laughing killing nobody, but mass shootings happen every day. They
Speaker 1: killed children, old, black people, babies, white folks, everybody. Mass
Speaker 1: laughings just make you laugh. I'm asking y'all, make y'all,
Speaker 1: make y'all express it out to me, because maybe I'm stupid.
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm not the brightest bitch in the world, even
Speaker 1: though you know I'm the smartest bitch on the planet. Um,
Speaker 1: y'all like y'all like my girl. Can y'all liking my hair?
Speaker 1: This is my news hair? You're thinking it's Maryland. It's
Speaker 1: a little dirty blind for Mary Maryland was a white blind. Yeah,
Speaker 1: explain that to me because and I knew Fox wasn't
Speaker 1: gonna serve that because you know it is Fox News
Speaker 1: and in the n R A, I ain't got to
Speaker 1: go no further. Y'all know what it is. It's just ridiculous.
Speaker 1: It is absolutely ridiculous. Right, maybe make your stomach her,
Speaker 1: but ain't nobody dying. And so the Fox guy was like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, that's great. It's great the way you
Speaker 1: put that together. I said, what would you add that part?
Speaker 1: He said, I'm only a camera man, I have no
Speaker 1: say so over who. So they did what they want
Speaker 1: to do, which is no issue, which is no issue.
Speaker 1: But you just make ship honestly and and and real
Speaker 1: and so and then I never mentioned when we were
Speaker 1: talking about how what happened with Dave Chappelle because let
Speaker 1: me explain the story to you guys. So, Dave was
Speaker 1: doing a concert in Minnesota and the name of the
Speaker 1: club was First Avenue. It's a legendary club. It's been
Speaker 1: around for many years. Prince actually started there. So three
Speaker 1: hours before Dave sold out a fifteen thousand seat arena,
Speaker 1: fifteen thousand sea. He sold it out three days, three
Speaker 1: hours before his concert. They canceled it because they got
Speaker 1: backlash from people on the internet. Uh, they were getting
Speaker 1: oh we got some so here's my Delemmit. You let
Speaker 1: twenty five or thirty people hid behind the internet, who
Speaker 1: got probably got a fictitious name, fake fake profile, all
Speaker 1: of that. Who don't patron ask, who probably has never
Speaker 1: bought a ticket to anything to tell you how you
Speaker 1: can and cannot run your business. Somebody stupid, and it
Speaker 1: ain't Dave Chappelle caused day what Dave Chappelle did, because
Speaker 1: you have to remember that as a performer, artists, or
Speaker 1: entertainer without an audience, without a crowd, you're nothing. He
Speaker 1: took his show right up the road and honored those
Speaker 1: people's tickets and made them know that they were worthy,
Speaker 1: and he respected them as his peers and as his
Speaker 1: as his fans, and as his fault, that their money
Speaker 1: was important. I thought it was the dopest thing I've
Speaker 1: ever seen. And when I grew up, like I said,
Speaker 1: I want to be just like that because I want
Speaker 1: to sell our fifteen thousand see the arenas, and if
Speaker 1: you try to pull the plug on me, I want
Speaker 1: to be able to take my show up the road
Speaker 1: to satisfy my audience, satisfy the people who support me.
Speaker 1: All the time I thought it was a bad move
Speaker 1: or first Avenue's party. I thought it was very unprofessioned,
Speaker 1: know and I thought that they didn't think that out
Speaker 1: because if you had an issue with Dave about what
Speaker 1: he did on the closer, then what you should have
Speaker 1: done was not even accepted the offer to have the
Speaker 1: show there. You could have stopped that in the beginning.
Speaker 1: They can't cancel Dave. Dave is uncancellable. Uncancellable? Uncancellable? Is
Speaker 1: that a word? Uncancellable? Is that a word? Is that
Speaker 1: a word? Uh? Oh, I can't say any uncancellable. I
Speaker 1: had to ask um, what's your name? Yeah, they full
Speaker 1: of it, They were full of foolishness, and uh, it
Speaker 1: just didn't make any sense. But I'm glad that Dave
Speaker 1: showed that professional because the show must go on. That
Speaker 1: shows professionalism. That shows how true you are to your
Speaker 1: followers and your fans and the people who keep you relevant,
Speaker 1: because you could be a huge start with no fans,
Speaker 1: and the one nobody know you were started with you.
Speaker 1: He proved that wrong. Secondly, let's get onto this January
Speaker 1: six hearings. I am so sick of these bullcrap. And last,
Speaker 1: first of all, we want to say rest in p
Speaker 1: used to, uh, to I find the Trump who lost
Speaker 1: her life? They said she, well, she fell down the
Speaker 1: stairs apparently, and uh, she was an older woman, so
Speaker 1: she lost her life. Rest in peace to her and
Speaker 1: pressed to her children, her family. But this January six ships,
Speaker 1: I'm sick of it. Y'all got all the stuff. Y'all
Speaker 1: need put some charges on this man so that he
Speaker 1: cannot run and or a whole public office. If he's
Speaker 1: gonna do jail time fan, if he ain't fan, I
Speaker 1: don't care about that. I just want to make sure
Speaker 1: that he could never run for public office again. And
Speaker 1: what y'all need to know Trump ain't the scariest want
Speaker 1: to win. The scariest one to win is Ryan de Santis.
Speaker 1: That's the scary because guess what, Ron de Santis is
Speaker 1: not stupid. Okay, pay attention, Please pay attention. And you
Speaker 1: see the closer and closer we get to know them
Speaker 1: to to elections. They just keep coming up with stuff.
Speaker 1: New variant of coronavirus, monkey pocks. Now, um, what is polio?
Speaker 1: Polio being curious in seventy one? Seventy too, and now
Speaker 1: it's back out again. More and more gonna come out.
Speaker 1: The closer we get because I don't know my conspiracy,
Speaker 1: my conspiracy as I don't know if they're trying to
Speaker 1: scare black folks to not go vote, because you know,
Speaker 1: we get nervous. I ain't going to vote. I don't
Speaker 1: want nobody touching me, sneezing on me, or if it's
Speaker 1: just some bs. I'm telling you now, it's a scary,
Speaker 1: scary time in America. It is really a scary time
Speaker 1: in America. But I want to talk about the young man.
Speaker 1: He was twenty three years old. I don't know his name.
Speaker 1: If y'all know his name, say his name. Um. He
Speaker 1: was in Tennessee and he was stopped at a traffic valiation.
Speaker 1: Black man, of course, and so he was afraid. He
Speaker 1: drove his car home, you know, and he ran in
Speaker 1: his house. Because y'all think that we run because we're guilty.
Speaker 1: We don't run because we're guilty. We don't run from
Speaker 1: the police because we are guilty. We run from the
Speaker 1: police because we are afraid that a traffic valation will
Speaker 1: end our lives, because it has happened many times before. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: y'all masked terrorists shooting up schools and shooting up grocery stores,
Speaker 1: and y'all walked them to the police car unscathed, with
Speaker 1: no kind of backlash. So he ran because he was afraid.
Speaker 1: He got to his house and shipped his door. Now
Speaker 1: you know, legally you're not supposed to be able to
Speaker 1: enter somebody's house without search one. He had brandished, no weapon.
Speaker 1: They never said he had what. They kicked his door
Speaker 1: and chased him up the stairs and beat him all
Speaker 1: in his head and everything with billy clubs. Oh, it's
Speaker 1: all on the internet. You can go see it. This
Speaker 1: is why I'm talking about. And they think that that's
Speaker 1: not a war on people. Listen to what the police
Speaker 1: chief in Mississippi said. There was a police officer, police
Speaker 1: chief in Mississippi. He publicly said he said, and they
Speaker 1: had him on record, said that he had thirteen murders
Speaker 1: in his whole career, and he shot one. His word,
Speaker 1: his words, not man, y'all know that's my word, though
Speaker 1: I shot one nigg a hundred and nineteen times. And
Speaker 1: y'all don't see what's wrong with this country. Y'all don't
Speaker 1: think that we need to get out and vote and
Speaker 1: make some changes, some real changes, and stop falling for
Speaker 1: this foolishness, and they keep smoke screening us and distracting
Speaker 1: us with bullshit. Well, we arguing over pronouns and who
Speaker 1: got what, who indeed this? And who endea that? And meanwhile,
Speaker 1: my people, my community, who I sometimes love sometimes I
Speaker 1: don't love. But this is what y'all have pushed us
Speaker 1: into with all of these pronouns and subjected everybody to
Speaker 1: with all this how you identify? Because I told you
Speaker 1: all from jump you can identify as whatever you want to.
Speaker 1: I don't have no issues with that, not what none, whatsoever.
Speaker 1: But this is what's foolish right here. Let me show
Speaker 1: you this. This is disrespectful to any woman alive. Listen,
Speaker 1: counsel with the overturning of Row versus Wade, what is
Speaker 1: happening now is you're limiting what I can do with
Speaker 1: my vagina. First of all, you dictated where I could
Speaker 1: take a number two. You trying to tell me that
Speaker 1: I couldn't go to woman trusting. But now you have
Speaker 1: governor habits say that is a full long man. Let
Speaker 1: me just say biological man. I don't look like he
Speaker 1: ever took a home owner his life talking about now
Speaker 1: he can't have an abortion. You took away his uterus.
Speaker 1: You got a penis and testicles. This is what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Y'all have chased this down to now anybody can identify
Speaker 1: as anything and say anything they want to be. That's
Speaker 1: a mockery. And I slap in the face to biological
Speaker 1: women who can have babies and who want to have abortions.
Speaker 1: That is real, Jamaica. Don't tell me that ship ain't real.
Speaker 1: That is real. That's real, that's absolutely real. This is
Speaker 1: where y'all have put us in a corner. Y'all have
Speaker 1: boxed people into a corner to say how they identify.
Speaker 1: That's how why two women are pregnant by transgender person,
Speaker 1: bad transgender woman right now in New Jersey, that was
Speaker 1: in jail, that looked like a full on man baby. Please,
Speaker 1: I'm telling you right now, it is the scariest ship child. WHOA.
Speaker 1: We're living in some strange crazy times, y'all real dangerous.
Speaker 1: Let me bring a flamemat on talk. And while I'm
Speaker 1: waiting on Lord, and I'm not up challenging and argument today,
Speaker 1: I'm up for discussion. And first of all, let me
Speaker 1: let me go a little bit further and say heads
Speaker 1: off and thank you to Big freed To. Because Big
Speaker 1: freed To, Big freed To. Um had a conversation. She's
Speaker 1: on the show right now, College Hill on BT Plus,
Speaker 1: and she had a conversation with Slim Thug, somebody who
Speaker 1: probably she would never encounter in her or somebody he
Speaker 1: would probably never encounter in his day to day life.
Speaker 1: And they had the most adult conversation to just show
Speaker 1: the differences of people, but that when we are so
Speaker 1: much more like than we are different. And I thought
Speaker 1: it was the greatest thing. And if what I did
Speaker 1: idea then and took it somewhere else for somebody to
Speaker 1: do it, well, so be it, because I love the
Speaker 1: big Freedom had a bigger platform and made it wonderful.
Speaker 1: If we can all pour that off, it would be great.
Speaker 1: You loud, turn your turn your microphone down something? Turn
Speaker 1: my microphone down? Is that better? Uh? Couse girl, you
Speaker 1: was loud in my ear? Who you came on excited?
Speaker 1: This is cass Cassandra Consolation Jim. She also has written
Speaker 1: the book called called Identity Crisis. You can get it
Speaker 1: off Amazon. It's pretty good. She's a flame, mat Cassie.
Speaker 1: What you think about what's going on? Oh? Pray us
Speaker 1: to Joe Biden. Joe Biden tested positive for COVID, but
Speaker 1: they said he's doing much better. He took the packer
Speaker 1: vill is it car packer vill? I have no idea.
Speaker 1: So he's you know, he's the president, so he gets
Speaker 1: the Preme Supreme you know, um medical healthcare. So he's
Speaker 1: gonna be all right. Yeah. But but but that was
Speaker 1: my biggest issue too. He up there screaming here a
Speaker 1: woman LGBT, but he got on the African daishika. Nigga
Speaker 1: knocked it off. Let me say that one more time.
Speaker 1: Nigga knock it off. And if anybody is offended by
Speaker 1: my words, this is my page ship. What was you
Speaker 1: what was you gonna ask me? Flame? I was gonna actually,
Speaker 1: what do you think about? What? What all is going on?
Speaker 1: Did you see the story about the young man who
Speaker 1: got shot? I mean, he didn't get shot. The police
Speaker 1: chase them home and beat him. I didn't see. I
Speaker 1: heard you talk about this story. And it's just I'm
Speaker 1: afraid any time I see an officer when I go
Speaker 1: to my local and I ain't even doing anything wrong.
Speaker 1: Any time I go to my local store, there's always
Speaker 1: an officer at the door. Because it's constant people who
Speaker 1: were on different types of drugs and have mental ability,
Speaker 1: you know, stuff going on with them. So I'm afraid
Speaker 1: when I just see you in the local store. So
Speaker 1: you can imagine how we feel when you're up behind us,
Speaker 1: even if we didn't do anything wrong. So it's just
Speaker 1: it's scary times that we're in. It's just really and
Speaker 1: it's sad. It's sad that so many people are having
Speaker 1: to bury their fathers, their sons, their daughters because they're scary.
Speaker 1: And we don't run because we are illegal. We don't
Speaker 1: run because we are doing something that we're not supposed
Speaker 1: We run because we are of the fear that we
Speaker 1: may not make it home just for a busted tail
Speaker 1: light or an expired tag or I didn't put my
Speaker 1: turn signal on, because I may get an irate of
Speaker 1: hate for racist as officer to come up to me
Speaker 1: to say do this. And if you talk to me crazy,
Speaker 1: I talk back to you crazy. I know we're supposed to,
Speaker 1: you know, stay keep calm, keep your same temperament. I
Speaker 1: might not want to be to keep that temperament. You
Speaker 1: will raise my temperament disrespecting me, talking to me like
Speaker 1: you ain't got no goddamn since because I'm grown m
Speaker 1: and I think they I think they purposely do that
Speaker 1: to some people to antagonize, to ignite that, you know,
Speaker 1: let me get you pumped, let me get you charged. Well,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna fail the test because if you talk to
Speaker 1: me crazy, I'm gonna talk back to you crazy, Especially
Speaker 1: if you're younger to me. You respect your elders, and
Speaker 1: the energy that you put out is energy you're gonna
Speaker 1: get back. So if that officer is having a rough
Speaker 1: day and you're already scared, then what he's portraying that
Speaker 1: energy on you, it just elevates the way you're already feeling.
Speaker 1: And it's just it's just it's not good. It's just
Speaker 1: gonna it's gonna boom. It's just gonna you know. So
Speaker 1: if they can stay calm, we could all stay calm,
Speaker 1: we can work through it together. But nobody's calm. Everybody's
Speaker 1: on edge and everybody there's so much going on in
Speaker 1: the world and this is just topping it off. It's
Speaker 1: like the cream of the cake. Oh it is frightening.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Gail is here. I'm open gain, I'm
Speaker 1: Gail Oprah is here. Over. Just made it Hi Brooks,
Speaker 1: Hi Oper just made it my bff. You know the
Speaker 1: Oper loves to say Gail's ho bff happens Lauren. My
Speaker 1: issue with that, with that person who went up to
Speaker 1: speak to the council was that it was so disrespectful
Speaker 1: to actual women who can have abortions and who are
Speaker 1: in critical situations where they want to have and you
Speaker 1: send that time some yo uterus did y'all talk about
Speaker 1: the does she key? That was my biggest okay, because
Speaker 1: that was that was my problem. That was my It
Speaker 1: was the dashiki For me, I said, wait a minute,
Speaker 1: what kind of cultural appropriator? Oh? Thank you can do
Speaker 1: this perfect because how he even got up there to
Speaker 1: even speak to me as the problem? You can clearly
Speaker 1: look and be like, um, I can come on now
Speaker 1: can we get you know? So the whole thing is
Speaker 1: just a well, the disrespect is that it is a
Speaker 1: slapping the face to women because you're making a mockery
Speaker 1: of what women are fighting for, challenging and you let
Speaker 1: this man come and it's clear, I don't care what
Speaker 1: he says, he identifies as this is a clear fool
Speaker 1: on nigger. Let me just say I want to say
Speaker 1: it coming up there to talking about his uterus. I
Speaker 1: can't even have an abortion. You shooting the fun. If
Speaker 1: God would have gave you the mech of conception himself, nigger,
Speaker 1: you wouldn't having no abortion because you weren't gonna get pregnant.
Speaker 1: That's the balls and penis. But this is where my community,
Speaker 1: to me, the ones that's all got up in the hooplaha,
Speaker 1: have pushed the world into You got people identifying the
Speaker 1: stuff they don't that they really don't even relate to,
Speaker 1: just to have a platform or form. It's it's out
Speaker 1: of it's out of control. It is out of control. Lord,
Speaker 1: say what, child, I just got here. I'm trying to
Speaker 1: catch up. But no, based on what you all are
Speaker 1: talking about, I was actually very offended, um by. I
Speaker 1: don't know who this person is, so I don't want
Speaker 1: to you know, or anything like that, but it was
Speaker 1: just crazy to me. It was really the dashiki and
Speaker 1: then the head wrapt that I couldn't get past, and
Speaker 1: I was just like, this white entity is just appropriating
Speaker 1: Black culture. And then to start screaming it really felt like,
Speaker 1: you know, a mockery was just made of what we're
Speaker 1: really going through. You know, we just had a ten
Speaker 1: year old girl who had to travel to Indiana to
Speaker 1: get an abortion because she was raped. You know, it's like,
Speaker 1: it's not funny so or for something for you to
Speaker 1: make a mockery of so you can get your ten
Speaker 1: minutes of, you know, social media fame. So I was
Speaker 1: more so still offended by the KHL that was not
Speaker 1: a trans man, that was a full lon boring man.
Speaker 1: I didn't get it. And come on, Cassie, what you saying?
Speaker 1: I agree with you, Lauren. There's a lot of things
Speaker 1: that are going on now in the media that people
Speaker 1: are just trying to get there five minutes of fame,
Speaker 1: whether it's true or not. They're just doing a lot
Speaker 1: of bullcornness and it's just wild. Lebron James said the
Speaker 1: best the Internet has made everybody famous. He's a billionaire now. Hm.
Speaker 1: I love Lebron and apparently he's like the cheapest person ever.
Speaker 1: I love that for him. Really. I heard he was
Speaker 1: like super cheap. I saw an interview that he did
Speaker 1: with Carmelo Anthony and they were like, if we're in
Speaker 1: the space that you gotta pay for WiFi, I guess
Speaker 1: who's not paying for some WiFi? So they phone gonna work,
Speaker 1: and Lebron raised his hand and said, absolutely not. I'm cheap.
Speaker 1: That's exactly exactly so. But on the flip side of
Speaker 1: him being cheap, he does a lot for people. He
Speaker 1: opened schools, he does greatness for children. He donates a
Speaker 1: lot of money to help kids get through college. So
Speaker 1: sometimes it's okay to be a little tight at the
Speaker 1: restaurant as long as you flourish somewhere else. It's just frugal.
Speaker 1: I is it frugal? Frugal, frugal? Look at me now,
Speaker 1: she said. Chief First, I'm just going to what she said.
Speaker 1: Mine is loud. I'm loud. Lord turned me down. Please,
Speaker 1: I'm real loud in my ears. I think you're getting older.
Speaker 1: I am and pretty. I had a birthday last week.
Speaker 1: I made thirty nine. Don't say ship, don't say thank
Speaker 1: you for having me. Thank you. Before you got here,
Speaker 1: we talked about I talked about the young man uh
Speaker 1: in Tennessee where the police he was stopped at the
Speaker 1: trying the traffic violation and it was not like he
Speaker 1: had no incident or nothing. He might have had expired
Speaker 1: tag or the failed to turn signal, whatever, because they
Speaker 1: never did give out all those details. But he drove
Speaker 1: home and got in his house and shut his door.
Speaker 1: They kicked his door open. No one chased him up
Speaker 1: the stairs and bet him, and people like, well, he
Speaker 1: should have never ran. We don't run because we're illegal.
Speaker 1: We run because we're terrified that there might be our
Speaker 1: last encounter on earth. Because I don't know who I'm
Speaker 1: going to encounter at the traffics, at the traffic stop.
Speaker 1: I don't know what kind of day you have. I
Speaker 1: don't know what kind of racism you hold within your heart.
Speaker 1: I don't so I would run too. I don't follow
Speaker 1: him for that. I do fault them for kicking in
Speaker 1: his door with no warrant. Yeah, I think it's the
Speaker 1: fight or flight response, you know what I mean. And
Speaker 1: I think that, you know, especially people who are not black,
Speaker 1: they don't understand the actual trauma fear that we have
Speaker 1: when we get pulled over by a police officer, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, and especially on the heels of you.
Speaker 1: Just had Jalen Walker in Akron, Ohio, who was pulled
Speaker 1: over for a broken tail light. He was shot sixty times,
Speaker 1: but ninety bullets came at him, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: So I just don't think that the world or the
Speaker 1: society understands the actual like psychological trauma that we as
Speaker 1: black people, black women and men are like experience when
Speaker 1: you get pulled over by a police officer. Because now
Speaker 1: to like, when I get pulled over, the first person
Speaker 1: I call is my dad and I'm just like to
Speaker 1: stay on the phone with me. I just got pulled over.
Speaker 1: This is what's happening. I do that myself because when
Speaker 1: I first moved back to you know, l A but
Speaker 1: maybe like seven years ago, I was targeted by the
Speaker 1: police a lot because this type of car that I drove,
Speaker 1: and I was young, so it's it's real. So I
Speaker 1: think that you're absolutely right for them to chase him
Speaker 1: into his house and kick him and beat him. Well,
Speaker 1: what was the cause for a tail light? Are you? Well?
Speaker 1: They never even disclosed what it was, and they didn't
Speaker 1: they never say that he brandished the weapon or anything.
Speaker 1: They just he went home because he wasn't a he was.
Speaker 1: I don't think he tried to get home because he
Speaker 1: was trying to get away from doing something illegal. I
Speaker 1: think he was trying to get home just to be
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm safe, y'all keep missing that. And it's
Speaker 1: interesting that you said that long because you do drive
Speaker 1: a nice car, but you look professional even when you out,
Speaker 1: you look like a businesswoman. So that you're a black
Speaker 1: woman and you drive such a high end car even
Speaker 1: when you were younger, that's crazy. I never even thought
Speaker 1: about it from that capacity, because you know, I look
Speaker 1: like a who had read all the time to have
Speaker 1: my car. But I'm completely legal. I got pulled over
Speaker 1: three times within a week by highway patrol trying going
Speaker 1: to work and coming home from work, to the point
Speaker 1: that my dad got so mad he was about to
Speaker 1: go raise hell up and highway patrol because and one
Speaker 1: of the officers actually told me, oh, well you fit.
Speaker 1: You fit a description of somebody who's hijacking cars. I
Speaker 1: told you. They don't stop me when they stopped me.
Speaker 1: They don't see trends, they don't see gay. They see
Speaker 1: this beautiful black hue and it bothers them. And to
Speaker 1: make it worse too, one of the offers officers, like,
Speaker 1: once he ran my plates and everything, he goes, oh,
Speaker 1: you actually own the car, like your name's on the car. Duh.
Speaker 1: I would say a duh, Yeah, it's uh. Because people
Speaker 1: don't understand the type of trauma that we experienced and
Speaker 1: get pulled on the dash driver. Oh, just like Jalen Walker. Okay,
Speaker 1: that is that is I'm telling you right now. If
Speaker 1: we are living in the most and then I do
Speaker 1: believe that you get the officers, you can be calm,
Speaker 1: you can be complexit, you can follow everyone. I will
Speaker 1: have my my license and mine showing at my registration
Speaker 1: right there when you get there, and put my hands
Speaker 1: on the steering wheel because I'm I'm fifty years old.
Speaker 1: I know what to do. So but then I get
Speaker 1: an officer that comes who got an attitude, who want
Speaker 1: to let me see. And then and if you talk
Speaker 1: crazy to me, you raise the temperament of how I'm
Speaker 1: going to speak back to you because afraid I am
Speaker 1: but terrified, I'm not ship I'm gonna say what I
Speaker 1: got to say. And then it escalates. And then that's
Speaker 1: what they need, they need that reason to make it
Speaker 1: something else. Oh, they got aggressive with me, and and
Speaker 1: I don't want to be putting handcuffs if you ain't
Speaker 1: in my being room, I don't want to be putting handcuffs.
Speaker 1: Because speaking of which, did you see the new law
Speaker 1: that the Arizona governor is trying to pass that says that, um,
Speaker 1: if you are a bystander, um, you're not allowed to
Speaker 1: film police unless you're right. So what happens when the
Speaker 1: police comes towards you as you're filming. There's there's a
Speaker 1: lot of loopholes on the loss. It's basically just trying
Speaker 1: to one. You know, it's a cover up regarding bodycam
Speaker 1: footage and people getting recorded and being put on social media.
Speaker 1: But they're really doing all the well. Arizona was like
Speaker 1: one of the first dates to do stopping frisking, those
Speaker 1: sort of things. But um, they're really trying to, you know,
Speaker 1: cover up. The corruption in these police departments is crazy.
Speaker 1: Arizona still trying to flip and say Trump won. Y'all
Speaker 1: do know that he lost were two years in and
Speaker 1: yeah he lost. He about to lose a bigger if
Speaker 1: January six, if the d O G, come on, d
Speaker 1: O J, come on with it and heats off the
Speaker 1: least Chaney, you know, Lord and changed I tune about
Speaker 1: list changing, list changing and get on Lord's good side out.
Speaker 1: I haven't changed my mind my tune about her, but
Speaker 1: I will say I'm glad that she's doing the right thing,
Speaker 1: is what I will say. She was still a Trump
Speaker 1: supporter when he first got in office. Like I said,
Speaker 1: she just trumping a little too far right for her.
Speaker 1: And now all of a sudden she was like, oh
Speaker 1: maybe this isn't right. So she's got her moral compass
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, So kudos to her. But I
Speaker 1: still in a little Chiney fan. So anyway, y'all get
Speaker 1: it right, y'all, make sure y'all registered the vote, be
Speaker 1: cause it's getting closer, closer, closer, closer and close. High
Speaker 1: th h p n B, I see you. That's my friend,
Speaker 1: I call it. That's his nickname, th HPNB. Yeah. Trump
Speaker 1: just had a rally in the Arizona the other day.
Speaker 1: We saw that. He and y'all keep coming in. He
Speaker 1: keep bating the rage. Have y'all seen the new January
Speaker 1: six texts where you know, the the um, the Secret
Speaker 1: Service for some reason deleted tons and tons of text
Speaker 1: messages from September fifth and six. January six criminal probe
Speaker 1: into that. So I'm curious to see what happens. But
Speaker 1: you know, Trump is about to hold his first rally
Speaker 1: in Washington, d C. Either this week or next week,
Speaker 1: and it will be the first one since January six.
Speaker 1: But I've I'm seeing reports that he's on the verge
Speaker 1: of trying to announce his run for uh for presidency,
Speaker 1: and it's simply because he's trying to quiet, you know,
Speaker 1: all of what's going on regarding January six. So he's
Speaker 1: trying to create a diversion. Not said. The virgins going on.
Speaker 1: Tons of the virgins are going on, starting with ain't
Speaker 1: this the same ex president? Who's where's emails? Where's the emails?
Speaker 1: Here's my thing? Where's the text messages? Well, that's the secrets.
Speaker 1: I mean, for Secret Service to be deleting text messages
Speaker 1: is like, it's kind of a big deal. That's how
Speaker 1: you know they all in on. We're fighting such a
Speaker 1: losing battle, and in two good white folks. Let me
Speaker 1: say it again, that's in power, that that's sick of
Speaker 1: it and want to make some changes. To say that
Speaker 1: they stick of it and want to make these changes,
Speaker 1: we're gonna be fighting this fight a minute. Well, I'll
Speaker 1: say this too. I also think that people underestimated the
Speaker 1: power of Stacy Abrams because all of these white folks
Speaker 1: that were doing illegal things behind you know, behind the scenes.
Speaker 1: I really think that they thought Trump was going to
Speaker 1: be in power for another four years. They had nothing
Speaker 1: to worry about. But then you had the people like
Speaker 1: the Stacy Abrams that came and turned Georgia blue. And
Speaker 1: then you know, Michigan went towards Biden, Pennsylvania went towards Biden,
Speaker 1: a lot of those swing states. He wasn't anticipating a
Speaker 1: lot of those, you know, black folks that turned out
Speaker 1: to vote despite all of the gerrymannering efforts. You get
Speaker 1: trass over here. My chair is next to you. It's
Speaker 1: called this is just gonna be. You're just taking up
Speaker 1: the whole front to the show. I'm clean, girl good.
Speaker 1: I'm looking at my white picking my black and white
Speaker 1: bounce off your black coordinated. I got on my Gil hair,
Speaker 1: you Oprah all that, but I got my whoopie outfit.
Speaker 1: I'm Gail Goldberg to the Gil Goldberg. And we talked
Speaker 1: about ro versus Wade a few weeks ago when they
Speaker 1: overturned it. They just a hundred and fifty one Republicans
Speaker 1: voted against gay marriage. Yeah, and some of them. I
Speaker 1: watched Pete Booty Jad yesterday speak about the whole thing
Speaker 1: and he had just had the meeting. Why are you
Speaker 1: laughing because it's not like you said Booty. Did I
Speaker 1: say Bootage yet? Bootage Yet? Y'all know he liked Booty,
Speaker 1: but now you know she's been saying behind closed doors,
Speaker 1: that's why Pete Bootie Yet had a meeting with a
Speaker 1: bunch of them, and uh, he said he had just
Speaker 1: left the meeting with them. They conference in time, and
Speaker 1: they voted against him. He is openly gay, he's married
Speaker 1: to his party. They just adopted some kids, they have children,
Speaker 1: and they're against it. I'm telling you, you don't even
Speaker 1: know who's in your corner of who's not. Because he
Speaker 1: was like, I had just had conversations with some of
Speaker 1: these people, and they voted against They voted against gay marriage.
Speaker 1: But I told y'all, once they opened that can of
Speaker 1: worms with Row versus Way, everything was up for being,
Speaker 1: and anything that Obama touched with his magic golden finger
Speaker 1: there against. Well. They tried to overturn Obamacare as hard
Speaker 1: as they could, but it was so air tight they
Speaker 1: couldn't do it. But I just feel like it. I
Speaker 1: feel like people become very naive when it comes to Republicans,
Speaker 1: and I'm like I just need y'all to wake up Republicans.
Speaker 1: If if they're gonna do anything, they're going to stay
Speaker 1: on brand. They are going to sound brand. They will
Speaker 1: not deter from it. You know, you may have some
Speaker 1: of those anomalies here and there, like um, the governor's
Speaker 1: raised in Pennsylvania. I don't know if you saw that.
Speaker 1: The person that's the Republican nomin for governor, he's a
Speaker 1: little too far right. And he had like the three
Speaker 1: percenters walking in the July fourth parade with him. So
Speaker 1: there's like nine former gop uh state whatever in Pennsylvania
Speaker 1: that came out and actually endorsed the Democratic candidate. So
Speaker 1: we are seeing things like that happened. But overall, the Republicans,
Speaker 1: I'll say this again, they stay on brand. So no
Speaker 1: matter how many conversations you're gonna have with them, or
Speaker 1: how bipartisan you think you can come on an issue,
Speaker 1: they're still going to stick to their agenda at the
Speaker 1: end of the day because they gotta appeal to whatever
Speaker 1: base that they have left. So we we we have
Speaker 1: to rally together and vote as American people. We gotta
Speaker 1: stand together. And you know, there's some crazy extremists out here,
Speaker 1: it's some extremists out here that one what they want
Speaker 1: because they don't know who they are, so they followed.
Speaker 1: They're beacon of hope, They're beacon of light. They're beacon
Speaker 1: of light. The light is dimming. Their light is dimming.
Speaker 1: It's no longer orange. It's about to be locked. I'd
Speaker 1: be glad when they do it too, because I'm sick
Speaker 1: of it. It is, But I will say there is
Speaker 1: some silver lining because what I hope is, especially with
Speaker 1: all of these Republican nominees that are potentially running for president.
Speaker 1: We got Trump, we know Rohn de Santis is most
Speaker 1: likely going to run, and then you've got Mike Pence
Speaker 1: to you know, the Republican strategy of how to break
Speaker 1: up votes on the Democratic side. I'm hoping that it's
Speaker 1: going to backfire in their face because they have these individuals.
Speaker 1: Because Mike Pence is I'll always say this, he was
Speaker 1: more dangerous than Trump. I'm glad that he got to
Speaker 1: be the vice president and not the president because he
Speaker 1: actually knew the law. Trump didn't know anything. Trump stupid.
Speaker 1: Rohn de Santis, he's young, he knows the law. He's too,
Speaker 1: is also dangerous, so keep him over there, y'all. Just
Speaker 1: keep him in Florida, just make him the governor again.
Speaker 1: Should y'all like to keep him over there? Gavin Newsom
Speaker 1: is not running for president right now. He's enjoying California,
Speaker 1: stay my governor. So we need to back away from
Speaker 1: Gavenue STI right now. We just voted for him. California
Speaker 1: is a state that I'm telling you all right now,
Speaker 1: we are not like the other states. I everybody want
Speaker 1: to move here. Kevin came forward because you're dam you
Speaker 1: have a nus. It covers all the basis for everyone
Speaker 1: in the state of California. You know, he started running
Speaker 1: as in Florida, basically saying that Floria's too screwed up.
Speaker 1: You can come to live here in California. Did y'all
Speaker 1: hear that same sunshine, weather, same level, with no alligators,
Speaker 1: and we ain't got hurricanes and no alligators and no alligators,
Speaker 1: and we got Disneyland and all of our little flurry
Speaker 1: creatures play with everybody. Did I tell you? I just
Speaker 1: went to Disneyland and felt old as hell. Lord you're
Speaker 1: not twenty anymore, I know, but still it hurts like
Speaker 1: it hurts go to Disneyland. Hurt. She's getting older. Y'all
Speaker 1: don't know how to handle it. Hurts so bad that
Speaker 1: I was gonna like the matter horn and shop. I
Speaker 1: felt like a damn rag doll. I had bruises the
Speaker 1: next day, Florida, please do batter because I'm telling you
Speaker 1: all right now, but we have earthquake, Bobby. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: we also got a good governor. I take an earthquake
Speaker 1: every blue moon down a dumbass governor every day. Life
Speaker 1: is a tradeoff. Let me just say that life is
Speaker 1: a tradeoff. Sometimes you gotta trade in one thing to
Speaker 1: get up. I traded in something. Look that I treated
Speaker 1: in my old movement, I get a new one. Lord,
Speaker 1: what else were we talking about today? I missed the
Speaker 1: first part of the conversation. And I did give a
Speaker 1: shout out to our balls Charlemagne, the guy who was
Speaker 1: on the View this morning and did great. He was
Speaker 1: so good with his politics this morning. I was so
Speaker 1: proud of shot Shot. I said, go a head, get
Speaker 1: me on that shot Shot. I need to argue with
Speaker 1: Whoopie and Joey. You love the view, But so what
Speaker 1: did you guys talk about already? What are we talking about?
Speaker 1: Ken that we talked about Um, we talked about that
Speaker 1: ridiculous person in Texas and went, if they're talking about
Speaker 1: the uterus like crazy foolish? Yeah, and well I thought
Speaker 1: that thing before you came out, And yeah, we talked
Speaker 1: about the police sense of that. But we I was
Speaker 1: waiting on you to get so we can get to
Speaker 1: January six, because that's what's most important right now. Yea,
Speaker 1: let's talk about it. And uh, it is just unfolding
Speaker 1: right in front of our faces. And I'm seeing like
Speaker 1: banning when y'all showed when they showed the video tapes
Speaker 1: when they were talking about, oh, it's going down tomorrow.
Speaker 1: So many people were involved, from the Secret Service to
Speaker 1: two police too, Republicans that were involved in and knew
Speaker 1: that some of these people's lives would be put on
Speaker 1: the line had those rioters insurrection. It's gotten to some
Speaker 1: of these officials. I believe they would have killed him.
Speaker 1: I believe they would have killed him. Trump put out
Speaker 1: Mike Pence and they were screaming, killed Mike. They were screaming,
Speaker 1: killed the Vice president of the United States. If that
Speaker 1: ain't treason in our face, I must be Stevie Wonder blind,
Speaker 1: because that was right in my face, you said Steve
Speaker 1: Benning guilty guilty. Um, I know he's only facing up
Speaker 1: to two years and um, person, but I just want
Speaker 1: to circle back to that really quickly. I think that
Speaker 1: it's fantastic that Steve Bannon was found guilty because that
Speaker 1: also sets a precedent and sends a message. Um. So,
Speaker 1: like on MSNBC today, they were comparing excuse me, his
Speaker 1: guilty verdict to like Jenny Thomas, for instance, and how
Speaker 1: she's kind of refusing or telling the committee they need
Speaker 1: to further justify why she has to come before them.
Speaker 1: So they're talking about reaching a subpoena where they just
Speaker 1: need to subpoena her for her to come. And you know,
Speaker 1: she can decide to try and skirt that if she
Speaker 1: wants to. But look at what happened with Steve Bannon. So, um,
Speaker 1: that was definitely a win, I would say on the
Speaker 1: committee's front. But um, in terms of the overall committee,
Speaker 1: it just seems like it's a slow progression of things.
Speaker 1: They're really trying to get enough evidence together the subway.
Speaker 1: They have this air tight case, and I really hope
Speaker 1: that they do it before November. I know the next
Speaker 1: hearing is not supposed to be until September, but I
Speaker 1: hope that they get something substantial in the next hearing
Speaker 1: in September, and also too, I need Mary Garland a
Speaker 1: grow up pair of balls. I'll say that publicly, Mary
Speaker 1: Garland grow some balls. And Josh Holly did you'll see
Speaker 1: Josh Holly run when they coined him? He ran like
Speaker 1: a bitch, chuckled. I see what I said, He ran
Speaker 1: like a bit. Did you see Matt Gates talking about, Uh,
Speaker 1: some of y'all couldn't have an abortion because you too,
Speaker 1: me for some have sex week? You do understand you
Speaker 1: are you are a pedophile. You were sex traffic in
Speaker 1: seventeen year olds. But you've got something to say about
Speaker 1: what somebody look like. And you couldn't sunk nobody and
Speaker 1: this is laughing, learn let me see it. Honestly, you
Speaker 1: couldn't sunk nobody your age, so you wouldn't have the children.
Speaker 1: That's a pedophile. What state you live in? The many
Speaker 1: petty state? Y'all know what that is? Is he a
Speaker 1: part of Florida speaks volumes, don't it. That's not to
Speaker 1: say that anybody in Florida, because I love some Florida
Speaker 1: folks but y'all know which want is I'm talking about.
Speaker 1: They got a whole trailer park of pedophiles in Florida. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they do, they do, they have they put them all together.
Speaker 1: I bet you I let your kids go to the playground.
Speaker 1: Oh there, you know what they call that pedophile park?
Speaker 1: R Kelly Land. I wonder if I should know. I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna go there. No, no, no, Well, I'll just
Speaker 1: say this. I've gotten some new information, and is that
Speaker 1: it's interesting because some of these like child parks in
Speaker 1: different you know states across the country, at nighttime they
Speaker 1: turned into these little orgy locations. Did you know that? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's becoming a thing like with the kids are grown up,
Speaker 1: you know what, the grown folks there. It's basically like
Speaker 1: a childhood park during the day where you got kids there,
Speaker 1: and at night they're like orgy locations for for the
Speaker 1: grown people. It's very interesting. And you know, with the
Speaker 1: way the monkey pox are spread and that's not safe. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's when we were going to talk about the monkey pocks.
Speaker 1: Oh lord, that's all I hear about every day. What
Speaker 1: you want to talk about? Let me tell you what
Speaker 1: I don't like. The rumor that they're spreading. I don't
Speaker 1: believe that it's a gay man's disease. First of all,
Speaker 1: let me say that. Well, first of all, monkey pox
Speaker 1: is not a sexually transmitted disease, and Lauren works for
Speaker 1: and but that's that's what they have put out. Oh,
Speaker 1: it's mostly amongst gay and bisexual me. And that's the
Speaker 1: same that they said in the eighties about age. When
Speaker 1: it first hit, it was only affecting gay white men
Speaker 1: that went to bookstore. So I was like, oh shoot,
Speaker 1: I don't never go to no bookstores, so I'm good.
Speaker 1: But then some of my black drag queen girlfriends started
Speaker 1: catching some of my black transistors, and there's so many
Speaker 1: gay men and I have lost hundreds hear me, hundreds
Speaker 1: of friends to AIDS because they were told, We were told,
Speaker 1: And this was night. I don't even know how I
Speaker 1: was when it first came out. They were saying that
Speaker 1: it was a gay man's disease. You couldn't care eight one,
Speaker 1: You couldn't catch it unless you went to bookstores and
Speaker 1: you were white. We believe that, and then look at
Speaker 1: babies women. It just started ravaging the community, and then
Speaker 1: of course it ravaged the African American community more than ever.
Speaker 1: So that's the new that's the new ladder they're putting out.
Speaker 1: Oh it's a gay man's disease. Tell Alan, you work
Speaker 1: for HR. Yeah, so what we know now and by
Speaker 1: the way, where it's still developing because the scientists don't
Speaker 1: know everything. But this is a variant per se of smallpox,
Speaker 1: so monkey parks in essence, it is a skin to
Speaker 1: skin disease. This is not a sexually transmitted disease that
Speaker 1: has not been confirmed as of yet and also to
Speaker 1: as of today, there are actually two confirmed cases in children.
Speaker 1: So it's not men who have sex with men or
Speaker 1: gay men that are it's not just targeted to that group.
Speaker 1: There are heterosexual people that we know that have monkey
Speaker 1: pops now so far the rates of infection are higher
Speaker 1: and that group as of now. But it's not like
Speaker 1: took claims point, it's not a gay man's STD. It's
Speaker 1: that's not what the facts are. And like I said,
Speaker 1: it's still developing, so we're still learning new things every day.
Speaker 1: And by no means am I a scientist, but we
Speaker 1: you know, with my job, I do work with doctors.
Speaker 1: We do have um quite a few people on our staff.
Speaker 1: That are in the public health sector. So this is
Speaker 1: what we're learning as of now. It is a skin
Speaker 1: to skin transmission of this disease, and it's not an
Speaker 1: STD to be specific. So and for anybody out there
Speaker 1: that's considering cheating, you're gonna get busted. You'll ask me
Speaker 1: walk around here with a tale and scratching. I'm telling
Speaker 1: you right now. It might make you read thing cheating
Speaker 1: like remember the movie, Uh, what was the fatal attraction? Yeah,
Speaker 1: and this is yet you ain't even got to have penetration.
Speaker 1: It's just skin to skin. Yeah, so you baby, you
Speaker 1: might want to rethink of everything that looked good to you.
Speaker 1: You might get some bananimous. And supposedly another way it
Speaker 1: is transmitted is through seamen supposedly, but again the science
Speaker 1: is not all the way. There's still developing, um, but
Speaker 1: it's a lot of cases. I think there's about at
Speaker 1: least eleven thousand cases in the country if I'm not
Speaker 1: mistaken as of this weekend, or maybe it's like nine,
Speaker 1: but it is definitely I'm growing. So child stays safe
Speaker 1: out there, y'all. And polio that was supposed to been
Speaker 1: ebsolved since what seventy two is later yeah, I'm let
Speaker 1: me tell you what I'm thinking. Let me tell you
Speaker 1: what this is. This is no reflection of my heart,
Speaker 1: Black Effect Network or a long and it's my ship.
Speaker 1: The closer we get to the election, the more and
Speaker 1: more disease is gonna get released. And I would say
Speaker 1: it released, not pop up release, because you know how
Speaker 1: we are as black people. I ain't going to vote.
Speaker 1: I don't want to catch some one. So this is
Speaker 1: how we are been using any tactic that they can,
Speaker 1: in the words of the late Great Malcolm X, by
Speaker 1: any means necessary to keep us from voting. And Lord
Speaker 1: has always is always said from day once, and she's
Speaker 1: been here. If your vote was not so important, why
Speaker 1: would they fight so hard to make it sure that
Speaker 1: you cannot vote. You guys better pay attention to the distract.
Speaker 1: Put on your hats, mad suit, put your mask on,
Speaker 1: put your gloves on, go your ass to the pose
Speaker 1: and vote because they're gonna try to cheat. They're going
Speaker 1: to do everything they can to make it go their way.
Speaker 1: We can't have it. We're losing on all ends. They
Speaker 1: in the police forces, they in the Secret Service, they
Speaker 1: in the White House, they everywhere, and it's just it's
Speaker 1: a it's a weird time right now. Like you know,
Speaker 1: they say, like every hundred years, a pandemic is supposed
Speaker 1: to happen. So when COVID came about it, everybody was saying, oh,
Speaker 1: it was time, you know, for us to have a
Speaker 1: pandemic because we hadn't had anything this big since, you know,
Speaker 1: the nineteen hundreds. I think, uh, influenza, because I don't
Speaker 1: want to call it the Spanish flu. I think that's inappropriate. Um,
Speaker 1: But I don't know if this is like our time
Speaker 1: and we never thought we would be at this point
Speaker 1: in our lives where we'll be experiencing all these diseases
Speaker 1: and things like that. But it's just crazy. Like I
Speaker 1: said this last week, it feels like we're in an apocalypse.
Speaker 1: Every day that I wake up, there's a new disease
Speaker 1: that's happening, and that's something that's so painful or detrimental
Speaker 1: to your health. So, child, I take my vitamins and
Speaker 1: my D three. Apparently vitamin D three helps to deter
Speaker 1: COVID and other diseases. So make sure that y'all stay
Speaker 1: armed with your vitamins. People too, Yeah, because it's a
Speaker 1: it's a crazy time. That we're really living in. And
Speaker 1: there's another variant of COVID too, called B A five,
Speaker 1: which is supposedly worse than delta and O macrons together.
Speaker 1: So just please stay safe. It's just crazy times we
Speaker 1: were living in. To say. At least, I just spoke
Speaker 1: to comedian Coco Brown. She called me to tell me
Speaker 1: thank you and thank you to the comedians that have
Speaker 1: reached out to me, just to say thank you for
Speaker 1: standing up for comics. I hear you and I appreciate it.
Speaker 1: But Coco Brown said, uh okay. Coco Brown said that
Speaker 1: she had the new area and she say flame and
Speaker 1: she's been vaccinated and boost. She say flame and knocked
Speaker 1: me on my and she said quickly like in a day.
Speaker 1: It put her down for like four days. So please
Speaker 1: be careful where you're mask, social distance, new ship keep
Speaker 1: coming out. We don't know how you catching what, but
Speaker 1: from what we know that you can't catch what. I
Speaker 1: ain't stop wearing my mask. I I ain't been so
Speaker 1: reluctant on the spring, but I just stacked up on
Speaker 1: like Nan cans child walked in and she sprayed herself.
Speaker 1: So you got your kids trained, well, mckis no, because
Speaker 1: we don't want that. And I've worked and when I
Speaker 1: recorded the audiobook, the young man that was recording with
Speaker 1: he caught a cold or something. I was paraly on
Speaker 1: his help. I was spraying this man. At the end
Speaker 1: of every day, you were like, Lauren, baby, if I
Speaker 1: test positive, I ain't going back here do that book
Speaker 1: with somebody else. It is, it is you have to
Speaker 1: protect you whatever that entails, whatever that means. And I know, family, friends, whatever,
Speaker 1: but you him never know who has what, and they
Speaker 1: still have not told us to fall on how you
Speaker 1: get it. So just protect yourself because every day it's
Speaker 1: some new ship and I'm scared. I don't want that
Speaker 1: ship I had that I had Corona, I don't want it.
Speaker 1: I whooped your ass, though somebody in the comments asked
Speaker 1: it was the eighth crisis is the biggest COVID. Like
Speaker 1: I said, I'm not a scientist, so I only know
Speaker 1: what i've you know, read and have to do researched
Speaker 1: through my job. But um, it's interesting. You know, AIDS
Speaker 1: is still not considered the AIDS crisis is not considered
Speaker 1: a pandemic. It's considered an epidemic. So for those of
Speaker 1: you that don't know the difference. UM, A pandemic means
Speaker 1: it's on global proportion. Epidemic means, UM, it didn't have
Speaker 1: a global effect, which we know is not true when
Speaker 1: it came to AIDS. So the fact that you know,
Speaker 1: some people still say it's an epidemic kind of let
Speaker 1: you know a little bit about that. UM. But at
Speaker 1: least domestically, UM, there's still at least I think about
Speaker 1: a million people that are living with HIV and don't
Speaker 1: know it and then not in treatment, So it is
Speaker 1: still very prevalent. You know, people think that AIDS and
Speaker 1: HIV is a thing of the past. Um. You absolutely
Speaker 1: can live a healthy lifestyle. UM. You know, as long
Speaker 1: as you're on treatment and you take your meds and
Speaker 1: you go and you see your doctor. UM, it's not
Speaker 1: a death sentence anymore. But globally, UM, I would say
Speaker 1: the impact or the need for UM medicine is still
Speaker 1: there because it's more so a crisis on the global front. Domestically,
Speaker 1: we've got you know, opportunities for you to get in care,
Speaker 1: but globally the level of care is not there. Let
Speaker 1: me ask you a question. Learn about HF being AG
Speaker 1: and HF UM. So with the pels because I see
Speaker 1: the commercials all the time, the big tr V and
Speaker 1: the PREP and all that. Do you think that that
Speaker 1: gave people pause to be like, oh, I can take
Speaker 1: appeal and I'm gonna be fanning healthy so I can
Speaker 1: have unprotected sex and just go forward. Yeah, And I
Speaker 1: think that's a big misconception. So people think that they
Speaker 1: can get on like Discovie for PREP or any you know,
Speaker 1: there's different prep drugs. People think they can get on
Speaker 1: PREP and that they're fine because basically PREP is a
Speaker 1: variation of an HIV cocktail, so that way it helps
Speaker 1: to reduce transmission. But what people forget is you still
Speaker 1: need to wear a condom at the end of the
Speaker 1: day because PREP is not going to prevent you from
Speaker 1: getting STDs. You know, zilpless can make you go blind,
Speaker 1: you can still get chlamydia. There's still other things that
Speaker 1: you other STDs and s t I is that you
Speaker 1: can get while still taking PREP if you don't choose
Speaker 1: to wear a condom. So that's why we always say,
Speaker 1: um at my job, is that if you're on PREP,
Speaker 1: you still need to wear a condom. Condoms go hand
Speaker 1: in hand. I got some friends very healthy right now
Speaker 1: and been living with A's for a long time, and
Speaker 1: they've the blue peel is the life saver. That's what
Speaker 1: she calls and my friends said, the blue peel is
Speaker 1: the life saver. She takes up blue peel every day
Speaker 1: and she's been living with a about years. Even Jamaica
Speaker 1: comes on here and talks about publicly about having AIDS
Speaker 1: and surviving and going through so much. But because of
Speaker 1: the medication, it makes people look like all A's is
Speaker 1: not that important because there's no medic cation for fucking coronavirus.
Speaker 1: But every day it's a new damn m vaccine they
Speaker 1: want you to take. Now it's a monkey pops vaccine.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be another polio vaccine. That's a lot. That's
Speaker 1: a lot to ask of people. You already asked people
Speaker 1: to take two shots for coronavirus. Now two boosters, now
Speaker 1: another boost good. That's a lot to be injected, foreign
Speaker 1: particles to be injected in people's body. I'm not saying
Speaker 1: not to do it because you know you want to
Speaker 1: protect yourself. I'm just saying you asking a lot of
Speaker 1: a human being for me to want to put all
Speaker 1: these foreign particles in my body that you honestly don't
Speaker 1: know how it's gonna work with me, because everybody's body
Speaker 1: chemistry is different. Some ship may work plus some ship
Speaker 1: may work minus well. And I do agree with that
Speaker 1: um because I even have friends that I do work with,
Speaker 1: two that are HIV positive, and I've heard horror stories
Speaker 1: about them going to see a doctor and the doctor
Speaker 1: just switching up their medication and not really giving just
Speaker 1: cause of why they're switching up the medication. It might
Speaker 1: be because you know, we have these PBMs, which is
Speaker 1: pharmacy benefit managers are not gonna get and all of that,
Speaker 1: but they're hiking up drug prices so it might cost
Speaker 1: them more. So they're going to prescribe you a cheaper
Speaker 1: drug because it saves them money, but it has adverse
Speaker 1: effects on you. So that also goes towards the health
Speaker 1: care aspect of always advocate for yourself. I've said this publicly,
Speaker 1: all of my doctors are black female women, because y'all
Speaker 1: understand what I'm going through. I don't want a white
Speaker 1: male doctor that's going to tell me that my you know,
Speaker 1: my pain tolerance is higher, or I don't need this,
Speaker 1: or you don't need that, or you don't want a
Speaker 1: white male doctor telling you that he can't get an
Speaker 1: abortion right. So it's important to advocate for your healthcare
Speaker 1: and to research and to ask questions. Will never be
Speaker 1: afraid to ask questions, Thank you Lord, because I tell
Speaker 1: people that all the time. You can challenge your doctor
Speaker 1: if you don't feel like something is wrong or something
Speaker 1: don't feel like what he's saying or she's saying to
Speaker 1: you resonates with how you feel. No, no, it's okay, No,
Speaker 1: I don't I don't feel that. I don't know what
Speaker 1: you're saying. Because they're a doctor, they're not God. They
Speaker 1: just said and they can make opinion and you can
Speaker 1: always get another opinion in your fourth opinion from doctor spending.
Speaker 1: You got insurance, baby, what I got? We got we
Speaker 1: got a SAG insurance. Oh, I can go to the
Speaker 1: good docs. Yeah. And especially if you have insurance and
Speaker 1: you gotta pay money, you better ask questions and make
Speaker 1: sure you're maximizing your health care because the doctor would
Speaker 1: tell you, okay, you you we we you just tested
Speaker 1: as diabetic and they give you the wrong medication and
Speaker 1: it makes you even worse if you don't feel like
Speaker 1: that's what it is. Challenged that not just that means anything.
Speaker 1: You know your body better than anybody else, because your
Speaker 1: body will alert you when some ship is wrong. Your
Speaker 1: your own body will tell you when some shi it
Speaker 1: is wrong. You need to pay attention to and it's
Speaker 1: I mean it, just like me. I don't get flu shots.
Speaker 1: We're nasty. We agree on that, we do. I don't
Speaker 1: get flu shots. The last time I got a flu shot,
Speaker 1: I was twelve years old and I ended up with
Speaker 1: the stomach virus. That's when I knew that wasn't for
Speaker 1: me and I didn't need to do that. And honestly,
Speaker 1: when I stopped getting flu shots, I stopped getting sick.
Speaker 1: Every year I would get it would be very random
Speaker 1: if I caught a cold. So to your point, do
Speaker 1: what's best for your body. People may not agree with that,
Speaker 1: and they're like, oh, you need to go get a
Speaker 1: flu shot. No I don't. I'm fine. Yeah, that's what
Speaker 1: I got vitamins for. My children are nineteen, eighteen and fifteen,
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna publicly let you all know that they
Speaker 1: have never had a flu shot. I guess what, They've
Speaker 1: also never had the flu. I took a flu shot
Speaker 1: ninety two put me in hospital for nine days I
Speaker 1: don't know what it did to my body, but it
Speaker 1: almost took me up out of here. I never had
Speaker 1: one since then. That didn't make me a conspiracy against
Speaker 1: vaccines because I had the pneumonia vaccines I've had, I've
Speaker 1: had HPV vaccine, I've had everything. I haven't had the HPV.
Speaker 1: I'm a little too old that I had. I got
Speaker 1: the HPV vaccine when I was like twelve. Yeah, my
Speaker 1: children haven't had that. But I regretted it afterwards. I
Speaker 1: talked about that on how regretted giving my kids that
Speaker 1: because I just wasn't sure and I researched it and
Speaker 1: waited and waited and waited, but I just wasn't sure
Speaker 1: about it. And I was afraid with this government because
Speaker 1: it was I think Trump was in office at the time.
Speaker 1: And it made me leary right there, and that that
Speaker 1: was another part of why it made me so leary
Speaker 1: about vaccines. It wasn't that I didn't trust the scientists.
Speaker 1: I didn't trust the politicians that was pushing the narrative.
Speaker 1: Starting with all the different stories with when Corona first hit.
Speaker 1: It was so many different So we talked about warp
Speaker 1: speed lad and even said that it was started off
Speaker 1: with warp speed. Then it turned into it had to
Speaker 1: be sub zero temperature, then it was room temperature, then
Speaker 1: you could sit down in the sun. Then it was
Speaker 1: it was just too many different stories coming from two
Speaker 1: different sources that maybe didn't believe. And then it was
Speaker 1: if it was one coronavirus, why couldn't we have had
Speaker 1: just one pharmaceutical company pushing it? Why it had to
Speaker 1: be Fightser Johnson and Johnson Madurna And I understand that
Speaker 1: how you make money what happened, but right, people, but
Speaker 1: it makes people of an older demographic like myself, who
Speaker 1: are already leary. But I don't want to put this
Speaker 1: ship in my body think like why it's got to
Speaker 1: come from all these different sources. Why I can't just
Speaker 1: be one? You know what I mean? That's that's the
Speaker 1: that's sometimes the downside of being having beyond you know,
Speaker 1: the cutting edge of technology and things like that. You
Speaker 1: always want to be the first, you get the biggest,
Speaker 1: you get to basically monopolize the market. Um. But anyway,
Speaker 1: I'm saying all that to say, though, advocate for yourself,
Speaker 1: get the vaccines that you think are good for you. Um. Sometimes,
Speaker 1: like for the HPV thing. For instance, my mom too
Speaker 1: was also very leary about me getting that at such
Speaker 1: a young age. But I'm lucky because, like, I also
Speaker 1: have physicians in my family, so I could pick up
Speaker 1: the phone and make a phone call and be like, hey,
Speaker 1: how do you feel about this? And my cousin she
Speaker 1: is very like, you should get the vaccine, And she
Speaker 1: was part of the reasons why a lot of the
Speaker 1: things that I ended up getting was because of her,
Speaker 1: because she would talk to us about the science behind
Speaker 1: and you know, it's just about advocating for yourself because
Speaker 1: best believe maybe I got a pharmacy in my house.
Speaker 1: I believe in a good drug. I do am I
Speaker 1: working with ahad No, no, no, My friends like to
Speaker 1: call me a doctor of sorts sometimes because trust I
Speaker 1: had a pharmacy in my house. So it is it
Speaker 1: is important that you do know your body and and
Speaker 1: and ask questions about you. You know, a lot of us,
Speaker 1: especially black folks, let me just say, we just go
Speaker 1: with what they say. Oh, they're a doctor, they know,
Speaker 1: they don't always know and they can't make mistakes. No,
Speaker 1: not all of us have a lot of especially older
Speaker 1: black people. Let me say that older when the doctor
Speaker 1: said the doctor. Baby, you can ask questions, challenge and
Speaker 1: I found it way more important to be very friendly
Speaker 1: with with your doctor. I'm friendly with my doctor. I
Speaker 1: got the same doctor and we talked like I talked
Speaker 1: because y'all know how to talk. I wanted this my doctor,
Speaker 1: to be comfortable with me because I wanted to be
Speaker 1: comfortable with him. He see me naked, upside down, backwards
Speaker 1: and side way, so he knows what it is. He
Speaker 1: was impressed. He knows what it is. But we are
Speaker 1: friends because I trust him. I can tell him about baby,
Speaker 1: this don't feel right. This, this don't feel right. And
Speaker 1: don't feel embarrassed or ashamed or afraid. He never made
Speaker 1: me feel like that. Find you somebody that you can
Speaker 1: be completely open and honest with, so you can tell
Speaker 1: if I got this certain bump on my neck and
Speaker 1: I don't understand that, you know, whatever your situation is,
Speaker 1: I get this bump on my butt, I'm just making
Speaker 1: for instance, ain't no bumps on my butt or on
Speaker 1: my neck. I do have a bump, but it ain't there.
Speaker 1: You missed the whole joke, but I didn't miss it.
Speaker 1: I was just like being nasty today. I'm being I
Speaker 1: was gonna say something, but I'm being gail king like
Speaker 1: my guilty. This is actually a very good way. I'm
Speaker 1: meant to tell you, thank you, Lori. And you know,
Speaker 1: she know how you ever get me competence? I might
Speaker 1: have to wear this on a little ball. I don't
Speaker 1: keep you, don't don't be lying to them gonna think.
Speaker 1: I mean, she beats me with chairs and everything. You
Speaker 1: have no idea. I didn't want to do the audio book.
Speaker 1: She put a gun to my head. Gets a little
Speaker 1: unruly sometimes I didn't want to do the audiobooks. She
Speaker 1: put a gun to my head. Said thank you guys
Speaker 1: for joining us, for laughing. It was it is um um,
Speaker 1: come on with the word. It is one of the
Speaker 1: scariest I'm fifty somebody years old. I thought she was
Speaker 1: thirty nine. That was earlier. It changed, you know, I'm
Speaker 1: I'm in the oge years. I'm in real fast. But
Speaker 1: this is probably that I can remember my whole life,
Speaker 1: the scariest time that I've ever lived in. And when
Speaker 1: I tell you, I'm petrified not only for me and
Speaker 1: my people. I have children. My daughter drifts. My daughter
Speaker 1: is driving a car, so I don't want her pool
Speaker 1: I've talked to this girl, and talk to this girl
Speaker 1: like don't and she's a hot head, she's young, she
Speaker 1: gets I want my daughter to be a statistic and
Speaker 1: killed by police officer because he led and said she
Speaker 1: had a weapon. She has no weapons, but she has
Speaker 1: her mouth and she she stands her ground, but standing
Speaker 1: her ground could end her life. So I'm afraid all
Speaker 1: the time. I'm telling you, stay prayed up. I know prayer,
Speaker 1: y'all say prayer, don't. We're prayer works, prayer work with work,
Speaker 1: prayliant enough, but sometimes you gotta really talk to your children.
Speaker 1: Tell your children avoid every situation you can. I tell
Speaker 1: my daughter, don't say nothing. Just try not to say nothing.
Speaker 1: That ain't even always the case though, you just we
Speaker 1: live in scary time, so you stay prayed up. Please
Speaker 1: be careful here because it's a lot going on. Please
Speaker 1: be safe. Don't be cheating out, cheating out with nobody.
Speaker 1: Because it's skin is the skin, and it's just touching. Now.
Speaker 1: I can just touch somebody, and have you seen it?
Speaker 1: It looks like the yeah, and they say they're really painful,
Speaker 1: but the little bumps look like kill monger and um
Speaker 1: black panthers Oh my god. Did you see the trailer
Speaker 1: for Black Panthers? Who? Oh my god, I wanted to
Speaker 1: I can't hollywait. I wanted to cry. I heard it's
Speaker 1: really good. I have friends that work at Disney, and
Speaker 1: they've watched the movie three times and they say, every
Speaker 1: time they watch it, they basically cry, oh, I can't hollywaight.
Speaker 1: But it looks like kill Monger with all the bumps
Speaker 1: on that mind you Michael be doing with all the
Speaker 1: lumps on hire that ship was hot. But I don't
Speaker 1: know if I won't know lumps all over me. I
Speaker 1: don't want the monkey pox, the whoop of the box,
Speaker 1: the elephant, I don't want none of it. I don't
Speaker 1: want none of it. So I'm gonna be good. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I felt that saying all that to say, just take
Speaker 1: care of yourself, take your vitamins, drink your water, make
Speaker 1: sure you exercise, and just try and stay healthy. Because
Speaker 1: if you feel strange, if you feel strange in your
Speaker 1: internal go to the doctor. Black folks, y'all know, we wait,
Speaker 1: we wait. I was somebody all right, I'm a wait
Speaker 1: to tomorrow tomorrow and guaranteed or ain't promised. I was
Speaker 1: gonna talk about kim Booreal, but it just ain't even
Speaker 1: worth it. It ain't even when did y'all see her
Speaker 1: sink and break my soul? Today she needs to make
Speaker 1: up her man, whether she's gonna be in the church
Speaker 1: life or the or the or the secular life. She
Speaker 1: made up a man, yet she also ain't made a man.
Speaker 1: Was if she's gonna stay fat or skinny? Okay, well,
