How 0:02:05.680 --> 0:02:09.880 was your week, darling? With your busy busy busy. Work 0:02:09.919 --> 0:02:12.840 has been a little crazy, and I have prepared to 0:02:12.880 --> 0:02:15.480 be on the road for the next eight days starting 0:02:15.680 --> 0:02:19.840 next Wednesday. So it's a lot going on, but you know, working, 0:02:19.919 --> 0:02:21.959 so all good things. How was your week? A week 0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:25.760 was good, slow, interesting though very interesting. We got we 0:02:25.840 --> 0:02:27.640 got from a new project. I've been working on him 0:02:27.680 --> 0:02:31.480 on page like twenty seven and uh I got a few. 0:02:35.639 --> 0:02:37.480 I'm leaving for three weeks, so I got some time. 0:02:38.280 --> 0:02:41.120 Mm hmmm, well great, so I'm excited. And but this 0:02:41.160 --> 0:02:44.240 week has been a very interesting week. Happy Memorial well 0:02:44.400 --> 0:02:47.560 not happy Memorial Day. Happy remembrance to all the veterans 0:02:47.600 --> 0:02:50.200 that served this country, including my dad. My dad was 0:02:50.320 --> 0:02:52.920 better he was in the Navy. I didn't really know 0:02:53.040 --> 0:02:54.919 him because I love to ask them. Did you join 0:02:54.960 --> 0:02:57.600 the Navy because you wanted to fight for the country 0:02:57.720 --> 0:02:59.600 or you just needed a job? I think back then 0:02:59.639 --> 0:03:03.320 he just needed a job. Well, still, we appreciate his service. 0:03:03.400 --> 0:03:06.840 He still, you know, took the took the time. And 0:03:07.240 --> 0:03:08.600 I don't know what do you risk your life in 0:03:08.600 --> 0:03:10.919 the Navy. That's a dangerous job, right because you're all 0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:13.799 the time, in any branch of the military, you risk 0:03:13.840 --> 0:03:16.440 your life, and girl, I'm glad you mentioned that, because 0:03:16.440 --> 0:03:18.520 we're gonna talk about risking your life for your job 0:03:18.880 --> 0:03:21.400 a little bit later, though it's not right now, uh huh, 0:03:22.440 --> 0:03:24.400 because some people take on jobs that you supposed to 0:03:24.440 --> 0:03:25.920 rich your life for or y'all forget to do it. 0:03:25.960 --> 0:03:29.760 But we get to that. That's our last subject in 0:03:29.880 --> 0:03:32.560 the news this week, Lauren Hogan, What has happening the 0:03:32.560 --> 0:03:35.360 news this week? Let's go to the drama before we 0:03:35.400 --> 0:03:38.600 go to the tragedy. So the drama this week. I'm 0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:41.080 gonna comedian. I'm a stand up comedian by profession, and 0:03:41.160 --> 0:03:44.400 I know a lot of stand up comedians, including the 0:03:44.440 --> 0:03:48.040 two that have had a public spat this week, Deal 0:03:48.160 --> 0:03:53.600 Hugely and Monique about contracts dispute or the lineup of 0:03:53.640 --> 0:03:56.480 a show. It was so disheartened to see the back 0:03:56.520 --> 0:03:58.280 and forth. And I don't want to put my two 0:03:58.320 --> 0:04:01.840 cents in on how, I in on what because I 0:04:01.880 --> 0:04:04.200 feel like me and the other friends and I'm cool 0:04:04.240 --> 0:04:06.600 with Monique, so I don't have a I'm not picking 0:04:06.600 --> 0:04:10.000 a side because there's no side to pick. As a comedian, 0:04:10.160 --> 0:04:12.640 and as a black comedian that works in comedy clubs, 0:04:12.680 --> 0:04:14.440 I hate that displayed out like that, because I don't 0:04:14.440 --> 0:04:16.440 want an audience to think that that is what we 0:04:16.520 --> 0:04:18.800 do at the comedy clubs. We when you come to 0:04:18.839 --> 0:04:21.720 the comedy cluse, we're hoping to make you laugh, make 0:04:21.800 --> 0:04:24.240 you think, and take you out of whatever misery you've 0:04:24.240 --> 0:04:26.440 been going through your day or your week or what 0:04:26.520 --> 0:04:29.120 have you. I hate that that were so ugly and 0:04:29.160 --> 0:04:33.159 it got so disgrunt toed, But so many people have 0:04:33.279 --> 0:04:35.960 waged in, including Steve Harvey today who had a lot 0:04:36.040 --> 0:04:38.480 to say, and I thought his message was great. On 0:04:38.520 --> 0:04:43.160 what he said, it was pretty much don't get don't 0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:45.960 lose yourself because you think that you're more than what 0:04:46.040 --> 0:04:48.320 you are. It was a great message and I understood 0:04:48.360 --> 0:04:51.080 exactly what he's saying, because sometimes as an entertainer, or 0:04:51.120 --> 0:04:54.520 as a performer, or as a boss, whatever you do, 0:04:54.560 --> 0:04:56.520 you get too big headed and you get in your 0:04:56.520 --> 0:04:59.520 own way because you think that you run everything. You 0:04:59.560 --> 0:05:01.200 don't want to listen. You get on me about this 0:05:01.240 --> 0:05:03.720 sometimes too long. That gets so stuffing and starting in 0:05:03.800 --> 0:05:07.000 my way that I don't want to change up. And 0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:09.760 I'm and I hear you when you tell me that. 0:05:09.880 --> 0:05:14.240 So I've been down. But the way this exploded and unpacked. 0:05:14.560 --> 0:05:17.560 I don't know. I Monique like she went on a rampage. 0:05:17.640 --> 0:05:20.280 It was just like she was over the lineup. It 0:05:20.320 --> 0:05:22.600 was it was did you see it? I did. I 0:05:22.640 --> 0:05:24.960 saw it, and I saw the whole back and forth. 0:05:25.040 --> 0:05:27.120 I don't. I mean, I'm gonna just express my opinion. 0:05:27.600 --> 0:05:30.599 I don't know if Monique India or friends or what 0:05:30.720 --> 0:05:33.279 their relationship is. I don't know either one of them personally. 0:05:33.720 --> 0:05:36.599 I just don't think that it was appropriate for Monique 0:05:36.600 --> 0:05:39.360 to do what she did and just publicly bash him 0:05:39.480 --> 0:05:41.240 in the middle of a show where he still had 0:05:41.279 --> 0:05:43.920 to come out and perform. I didn't think that was okay. 0:05:44.160 --> 0:05:47.239 If she wanted to, you know, address it afterwards, maybe, 0:05:47.279 --> 0:05:50.559 but I just think that it goes to what people 0:05:50.560 --> 0:05:52.960 have been saying about her, just the lack of professionalism 0:05:53.040 --> 0:05:55.599 and you know her, you know, doing too much and 0:05:55.600 --> 0:05:57.479 being difficult to work with, you know what I mean, 0:05:57.839 --> 0:06:00.080 And she may feel as though she's the season it 0:06:00.240 --> 0:06:01.839 and she can do whatever she wants to at this 0:06:01.880 --> 0:06:06.120 point in her career. Sure, valid, you're entitled to your feelings, 0:06:06.160 --> 0:06:08.240 but I just don't think that it was cool to 0:06:08.320 --> 0:06:10.440 publicly bash deal and he still had to come on 0:06:10.520 --> 0:06:12.640 and perform at the end of the day, that just 0:06:12.760 --> 0:06:15.560 it wasn't cool in my opinion. Um, and I saw 0:06:15.600 --> 0:06:17.719 all the back and forth. You know, Deal ended up 0:06:17.760 --> 0:06:21.520 showing his deal memo from his agent, which is a 0:06:21.640 --> 0:06:24.680 very valid contract. I deal with artists and talent all 0:06:24.720 --> 0:06:28.120 the time. That is concrete because it's coming from your 0:06:28.120 --> 0:06:31.120 agency and if anything goes left, the agency is liable. 0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:34.479 It's not just the artist and her performance agreement was 0:06:34.520 --> 0:06:36.680 just from her media company, you know what I mean. 0:06:36.680 --> 0:06:38.359 And not to say that it wasn't a valid agreement. 0:06:38.440 --> 0:06:41.640 If you know, both parties signed a contract, that's still valid. 0:06:42.120 --> 0:06:44.000 But to try and say that a deal memo is 0:06:44.040 --> 0:06:47.880 not valid, it's it's not true. So um, yeah, it 0:06:48.000 --> 0:06:49.840 was just it was a sad situation to see them 0:06:49.839 --> 0:06:53.920 are you in back and forth? But I I'm gonna 0:06:53.960 --> 0:06:57.600 just say Deal has a point. And yeah, I personally 0:06:57.600 --> 0:07:01.120 thought that Del's video from his radio show when he 0:07:01.160 --> 0:07:04.480 talked when he finally just let it loose, and I 0:07:04.560 --> 0:07:07.880 love the way he deciphered the entire situation. I love 0:07:07.960 --> 0:07:11.120 the way he even took responsibility and accountability for his 0:07:11.240 --> 0:07:14.520 part because what he said was I knew better and 0:07:14.560 --> 0:07:16.920 a lot of times we know better in our own 0:07:17.080 --> 0:07:20.280 psyches that all money ain't good money. And sometimes I 0:07:20.360 --> 0:07:21.800 just don't want to be and I don't want to 0:07:21.840 --> 0:07:24.360 do it because I know it might turn out and 0:07:24.400 --> 0:07:25.960 I hate to just turn out the deal. I hate 0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:27.920 the names that they called, that she called him and 0:07:27.920 --> 0:07:31.280 all of that. It was just not cool. I'm with 0:07:31.400 --> 0:07:34.720 you long, it was just not cool. And Monique just 0:07:34.800 --> 0:07:37.520 got like she they the world, they just opened up 0:07:37.560 --> 0:07:41.160 an opportunity for her with with BMF, and then she 0:07:41.280 --> 0:07:44.040 was on another show and they the world is looking 0:07:44.080 --> 0:07:45.960 like they're trying to that she made up with Lee Daniel, 0:07:46.000 --> 0:07:47.800 so the world looked like it's trying to bring her 0:07:47.800 --> 0:07:51.000 back into the phone to work and and and being 0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:53.520 back on TV and all of that. But I don't know, 0:07:53.760 --> 0:07:59.559 I don't know. I don't know. Maybe maybe maybe something 0:07:59.600 --> 0:08:01.920 else is going on. That's all I'm gonna say. I 0:08:01.920 --> 0:08:05.120 don't know, And now we don't go I don't know. Yeah, 0:08:05.120 --> 0:08:07.480 And I'll just say this, and Monique is incredibly talented, 0:08:07.640 --> 0:08:10.320 Like we're not about to sit up here and dispute 0:08:10.320 --> 0:08:12.800 her resume or just the way that she can deliver. 0:08:13.240 --> 0:08:16.360 One of my favorite movies that she's done was almost Christmas. 0:08:16.360 --> 0:08:19.800 That movie is hilarious and she's an integral character that 0:08:19.920 --> 0:08:22.480 makes everything so funny. Like I could watch that movie 0:08:22.520 --> 0:08:24.840 over and over and over again. And that was recent. 0:08:24.880 --> 0:08:26.880 That was just like I think, less than five years ago. 0:08:26.960 --> 0:08:30.400 Maybe it was five years ago. But she's a phenomenal talent. 0:08:30.520 --> 0:08:33.839 So I just hate that, you know, people keep coming 0:08:33.880 --> 0:08:36.080 at her and saying she's unprofessional based on you know, 0:08:36.120 --> 0:08:39.480 her reactions to things, and we're not gonna sit up 0:08:39.480 --> 0:08:41.880 here and act like there's not an equality excuse me 0:08:41.920 --> 0:08:44.440 in the worksplace, especially for black women, we always have 0:08:44.520 --> 0:08:47.880 to be ten times better, execute ten times better overall, 0:08:47.920 --> 0:08:50.679 we always have to do more to be recognized because 0:08:50.679 --> 0:08:53.479 that's the world that we live in. So not disputing 0:08:53.520 --> 0:08:55.440 that part that has she put in the work in 0:08:55.520 --> 0:08:59.920 absolutely and sometimes you know, the industry not fair, true, 0:09:00.400 --> 0:09:02.560 but you don't have to go after another black comic 0:09:02.679 --> 0:09:06.040 because your situation was not you know, what it was 0:09:06.040 --> 0:09:08.560 supposed to be, or if the promoter lied to you 0:09:08.679 --> 0:09:10.640 or whatever the situation was. I just don't think that 0:09:10.679 --> 0:09:12.120 it was cool for her to go after d L 0:09:12.240 --> 0:09:14.400 like that. Um And at the end of the day, 0:09:14.400 --> 0:09:16.120 it takes away from her talent because like I said, 0:09:16.280 --> 0:09:22.199 she she's phenomenal, absolutely phenomenal. So the professionalism to me 0:09:22.320 --> 0:09:24.840 fell on DL spot because if you go on stage 0:09:24.880 --> 0:09:27.320 before me and destroyed me like she did with him, 0:09:27.640 --> 0:09:29.200 and I got to come behind you, and he didn't 0:09:29.200 --> 0:09:31.679 even address it. Baby, I'm telling you something that is 0:09:31.720 --> 0:09:33.719 a whole mess of a man to me because I 0:09:33.800 --> 0:09:36.480 probably have toy ass up hey and d n B. 0:09:37.360 --> 0:09:43.240 My thing is you as a comedian. You know your 0:09:43.280 --> 0:09:46.160 strengths and you know your weaknesses. There are some comics 0:09:46.240 --> 0:09:48.320 that you just know and you could be a season 0:09:48.400 --> 0:09:51.520 thirty year comedian, but you just know that you cannot follow. 0:09:52.480 --> 0:09:55.920 And do I think that d l's content is funnier. Absolutely. 0:09:56.200 --> 0:09:58.959 I just think that Monique is more electrifying on stage 0:09:59.000 --> 0:10:01.360 because she's more physic cool and she's you know, she 0:10:01.400 --> 0:10:05.000 bounces around and she screams and yeah, so she's more electric. 0:10:05.520 --> 0:10:10.840 But Deal's content is funny. D L has more season comedy, 0:10:11.480 --> 0:10:13.640 and I wish they would have worked it out behind 0:10:13.640 --> 0:10:15.600 the scenes that say, hey, why don't you go first 0:10:15.600 --> 0:10:18.520 and let me follow you? Because but there was ego there, 0:10:19.040 --> 0:10:21.199 I believe. I don't know who's in, but there was 0:10:21.240 --> 0:10:24.439 definitely ego in the way. I mean, when are the 0:10:24.440 --> 0:10:27.600 headliners and who's closing the show? I mean that that's 0:10:27.640 --> 0:10:29.800 just the nature of the business. You always want to 0:10:29.800 --> 0:10:31.680 close the show because that just means that you're better, 0:10:31.679 --> 0:10:34.160 and that's you know, that tends to be people remember 0:10:34.200 --> 0:10:35.680 the first thing in the last thing that they see. 0:10:35.760 --> 0:10:39.080 That's just you know, that's the saying. So if I'm 0:10:39.120 --> 0:10:41.720 a headliner, I absolutely want to close the show, you know, 0:10:41.800 --> 0:10:44.839 and everybody wants that top spot. So I get why 0:10:44.880 --> 0:10:47.160 there was a back and forth for sure, you know, 0:10:47.240 --> 0:10:50.000 because they're both season comments. But again, it didn't have 0:10:50.120 --> 0:10:51.600 to play off for the public to see. Y'all could 0:10:51.600 --> 0:10:54.600 have done that backstage. Something else could have happened. So 0:10:57.160 --> 0:10:59.440 I agree with you on something else could have happened. 0:10:59.440 --> 0:11:01.800 And we hope that they resolve this because as black 0:11:01.880 --> 0:11:06.400 working comedians, we want to continuously workdo works every weekend. 0:11:06.440 --> 0:11:09.200 He has booked at the Comedy Up every weekend and 0:11:09.480 --> 0:11:12.079 Monique is back doing her things. So I just pushed 0:11:12.120 --> 0:11:15.920 them both, uh love and peace, and I'm hoping they 0:11:16.000 --> 0:11:17.679 to watch this because ship we got shipped to do. 0:11:17.760 --> 0:11:19.439 We gotta go to work. We got to get to work, 0:11:19.480 --> 0:11:21.520 and I don't want to society think that black comics 0:11:21.600 --> 0:11:28.120 cannot get along because they love the holiday. Speaking of 0:11:28.280 --> 0:11:31.640 not getting along, what are we doing about these damn 0:11:31.720 --> 0:11:35.240 gun rights, Lauren? Good god, we have so many shootings 0:11:35.320 --> 0:11:39.200 just in this week alone. To this week has been 0:11:39.240 --> 0:11:41.120 one of those weeks where like I had to stop 0:11:41.120 --> 0:11:45.119 watching the news because it just it was like depressing. 0:11:45.440 --> 0:11:49.280 It was just so depressing to see one you valde, 0:11:49.720 --> 0:11:53.440 those nineteen beautiful kids being murdered and the fact that 0:11:53.800 --> 0:11:58.720 you know, the police and teachers and the two teachers too, yes, 0:11:59.360 --> 0:12:01.720 but it's just like it's the kids. Like these children 0:12:01.800 --> 0:12:04.040 had their whole lives ahead of them, and they were 0:12:04.040 --> 0:12:08.559 taken away because of a raged gunmen who was allowed 0:12:08.720 --> 0:12:10.960 to go out and buy buy an assault rifle who 0:12:10.960 --> 0:12:13.920 shouldn't be allowed to. And then the police didn't even 0:12:13.960 --> 0:12:16.200 go in and save these kids. They saved their own 0:12:16.280 --> 0:12:19.280 kids because some of the police officers had kids at 0:12:19.280 --> 0:12:21.680 that school. They went in and got their kids and 0:12:21.800 --> 0:12:27.400 allowed nineteen children to be murdered. So, and to be fair, 0:12:28.000 --> 0:12:31.800 apparently the nineteen officers that were in there outside of 0:12:31.840 --> 0:12:35.040 the classroom listening to these children being slaughter none of 0:12:35.080 --> 0:12:37.160 their kids were in there. The children that kids that 0:12:37.200 --> 0:12:39.600 were rescue came out the back of the school where 0:12:39.600 --> 0:12:42.000 the police were outside, and they broke out a window 0:12:42.000 --> 0:12:44.240 and pulled their kids out of winning and got their keys. 0:12:44.360 --> 0:12:48.679 But lowing to your point, your nineteen nineteen skilled police 0:12:48.679 --> 0:12:52.720 officers trained all kind of military weapons, body arm and 0:12:52.720 --> 0:12:55.959 everything were afraid and let's just say that word. They 0:12:55.960 --> 0:12:59.920 were afraid to bombard the room with one eighteen year old, 0:13:00.280 --> 0:13:04.800 no technical training, no military training, no police training, but 0:13:04.920 --> 0:13:07.080 two a R. Fifteens, and they were afraid because the 0:13:07.120 --> 0:13:09.360 one officer that did get shot, hand of condition. Oh 0:13:09.400 --> 0:13:12.640 my god, I got shot. I got shot. You signed 0:13:12.679 --> 0:13:14.960 up for a job where that is part of the 0:13:15.080 --> 0:13:18.680 collateral damage for you, your job description. There is a 0:13:18.720 --> 0:13:20.959 possibility that you can get shot and killed on the 0:13:21.040 --> 0:13:23.679 job because your job is to serve and protect. They 0:13:23.679 --> 0:13:26.680 didn't do any of that. Nineteen police officers outside those 0:13:26.760 --> 0:13:30.760 rooms nineteen kids. Did one police officership been accounted before 0:13:30.800 --> 0:13:33.320 every kid that was murdered. Well, the other thing that 0:13:33.360 --> 0:13:36.960 I heard too is at the um the school police 0:13:37.000 --> 0:13:41.520 chief actually told them to stand down. So, UM, I 0:13:41.520 --> 0:13:44.679 don't know which side is true. I'm leaning towards the 0:13:44.720 --> 0:13:46.920 police chief sold them to stand down because he's also 0:13:46.960 --> 0:13:50.280 an under investigation now. And I understand if you get 0:13:50.280 --> 0:13:53.760 an order from your command leader, like my uncle is 0:13:53.800 --> 0:13:56.120 ex l A p D. My dad, you know, is 0:13:56.120 --> 0:13:58.200 second in command for l A f D. When you 0:13:58.200 --> 0:14:01.240 get a command from your superior officer, you do what 0:14:01.280 --> 0:14:04.319 they tell you to do. So my thing is, why 0:14:04.360 --> 0:14:07.440 did this you know, police chief tell his men to 0:14:07.440 --> 0:14:09.840 stand down and let these kids get murdered. There's been 0:14:10.000 --> 0:14:12.720 different stories saying like, oh, they thought that the gunman 0:14:12.880 --> 0:14:15.080 was you know, secured in the room and didn't realize 0:14:15.120 --> 0:14:17.200 he was in the room with the kids. None of 0:14:17.200 --> 0:14:22.320 it makes sense. But if this police chief really told 0:14:22.480 --> 0:14:24.920 all of his officers to stand down and allow those 0:14:24.960 --> 0:14:26.920 kids to be murdered, he needs to go to jail. 0:14:27.400 --> 0:14:30.000 That's all I'm gonna say. He needs to go to jail. Well, 0:14:30.080 --> 0:14:32.160 the police chief doesn't even want to talk down the 0:14:32.160 --> 0:14:34.880 story has changed from day one because I remember calling 0:14:34.920 --> 0:14:36.800 you when it first happened, and I told you that. 0:14:37.200 --> 0:14:39.800 And the original story was that they had the gunmen, 0:14:39.960 --> 0:14:42.760 They had the gunmen and custody. Ten minutes later he 0:14:42.800 --> 0:14:45.160 was dead. That's what the story that they sent down. 0:14:45.400 --> 0:14:47.560 It was so many stories about the door being unlocked, 0:14:47.560 --> 0:14:49.560 and then an officer approached him as he was going 0:14:49.560 --> 0:14:51.960 through the back door. That story has went away. The 0:14:52.040 --> 0:14:56.440 story changes by the hour you have left off. These 0:14:56.480 --> 0:14:59.800 parents with their children that are gone, Their children were murdered. 0:14:59.800 --> 0:15:02.960 They heard their children being slaughtered. Good God, I could 0:15:02.960 --> 0:15:06.280 not imagine that. And I command the parents that broke 0:15:06.360 --> 0:15:08.960 free and went in and got their children because you 0:15:09.040 --> 0:15:11.120 hear so many parents say, oh I da for man. 0:15:11.440 --> 0:15:13.360 Those people in your valley. Was trying to prove that. 0:15:13.440 --> 0:15:17.680 But the officers gave the parents opposition, gave them a 0:15:17.720 --> 0:15:19.760 hard time about going in, like they were going to 0:15:20.280 --> 0:15:22.240 them and tackle them to the ground and put one 0:15:22.240 --> 0:15:24.200 of them in handcuffs. Yes, like they were going to 0:15:24.320 --> 0:15:26.760 interrupt what was going on. Nothing was going on, But 0:15:26.880 --> 0:15:30.160 I was allowing this eighteen year old idiot coward to 0:15:30.240 --> 0:15:32.640 murder people. That's what was going on. They were going 0:15:32.680 --> 0:15:34.560 in to save their children because you all did not 0:15:34.680 --> 0:15:37.080 have the courage to do it. There should be nineteen 0:15:37.120 --> 0:15:39.960 job positions open for law enforcement in your valley, and 0:15:40.040 --> 0:15:42.400 the only job requirement should be that you need to 0:15:42.400 --> 0:15:44.520 go see the wizard because that nigga passed. Now. Courage 0:15:44.560 --> 0:15:46.880 because none of them had any well, like I said, 0:15:47.080 --> 0:15:49.120 and I won't never I won't never go to your valley, 0:15:49.160 --> 0:15:52.800 Texas because they're gonna hate me. Well, so I don't see. 0:15:52.840 --> 0:15:55.000 I don't know if that should be the case. Because again, 0:15:55.040 --> 0:15:57.120 if like I said, if that police she really gave 0:15:57.200 --> 0:15:59.400 him a command to stand down, I can't blame those 0:15:59.440 --> 0:16:01.760 nineteen officers for not going any of those kids. I 0:16:01.800 --> 0:16:08.040 don't blame them. Your human instinct have kicked in whenever matter, 0:16:08.640 --> 0:16:11.680 hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. So if 0:16:11.720 --> 0:16:13.920 Sky was in the room, and Sky is your baby, 0:16:14.000 --> 0:16:15.720 if Scott was in the room locked up, and it 0:16:15.800 --> 0:16:18.200 was somebody crazy in there, and you know Scott and 0:16:18.480 --> 0:16:20.480 Sky is a dog, y'all for y'all think that somebody 0:16:20.520 --> 0:16:23.880 else guys that she sucking a doors. You know, Scots 0:16:23.960 --> 0:16:26.640 cried yea over anybody when you have win in that 0:16:26.800 --> 0:16:28.440 room to get your dog, because I know how much 0:16:28.480 --> 0:16:30.720 you would do it this animal me as a person, 0:16:30.880 --> 0:16:33.440 as a human. Yes, but I'm saying these the police 0:16:33.440 --> 0:16:36.920 officers specifically, if they're giving a specific command, you can 0:16:36.920 --> 0:16:40.080 get fired for overriding what your superior officer says to you. 0:16:40.320 --> 0:16:42.840 That's a fireball offense. So that's what I'm saying, I 0:16:42.840 --> 0:16:46.000 don't blow the firing over having to live with being 0:16:46.000 --> 0:16:48.880 a coward. I mean, I'm just saying I'm not holding 0:16:48.920 --> 0:16:51.880 them fully accountable. If that's what their commanding officers told them, 0:16:51.960 --> 0:16:53.840 was to stand down, and they were given information that 0:16:53.920 --> 0:16:55.880 this man was in a room and was so dued, 0:16:56.480 --> 0:16:59.000 I can't blame those nineteen officers. I have to blame 0:16:59.360 --> 0:17:03.360 that one of a commander. That's who I'm blaming. That's 0:17:03.400 --> 0:17:06.760 what I'm saying. Well, he he wasn't to do. He 0:17:06.800 --> 0:17:11.600 was still shooting and shooting and shooting. That want one 0:17:12.840 --> 0:17:15.440 they called nine one one more than once. I'm very 0:17:15.480 --> 0:17:17.679 well aware of the situation. I saw the timeline. But 0:17:17.720 --> 0:17:20.480 I'm saying from what the reports are saying and what's 0:17:20.480 --> 0:17:24.560 coming out, it was him. The police chief said stand down. 0:17:24.640 --> 0:17:28.600 He's been subdued. That's why they didn't move. If that's 0:17:28.600 --> 0:17:31.760 the truth. Because now yea, now he doesn't even want 0:17:31.760 --> 0:17:34.760 to talk that, he won't answer no reporters questions. He 0:17:35.400 --> 0:17:39.520 it is this. It is the ugliest situation to happen 0:17:39.560 --> 0:17:41.760 because they ate there with children, and I hate when 0:17:41.800 --> 0:17:43.679 they always hell it. We we don't get along with 0:17:43.760 --> 0:17:46.520 people were racist or just talking about people in general. 0:17:46.800 --> 0:17:49.280 I didn't know one person in your body, Texas. I 0:17:49.320 --> 0:17:52.119 didn't know one kid that was killed. But did that 0:17:52.200 --> 0:17:54.679 break my heart? Yes? It did because those were children. 0:17:54.760 --> 0:17:57.000 Even though the two of women that were murdered the teachers, 0:17:57.119 --> 0:17:59.640 because they said they tried to protect those kids. They did, 0:17:59.640 --> 0:18:02.440 some did he had to. Yeah, they did protect those kids. 0:18:02.480 --> 0:18:05.600 And I think what's even worse is Irma Garcia's husband 0:18:05.640 --> 0:18:08.000 died the next day literally of a broken heart because 0:18:08.000 --> 0:18:11.680 she was murdered. So the whole situation is just it's heartbreaking. 0:18:11.680 --> 0:18:14.960 And then I saw photos yesterday of the baby's caskets 0:18:15.440 --> 0:18:17.200 and that just took me out and I had to 0:18:17.280 --> 0:18:20.919 change the channel company. Shout out to that casket company 0:18:20.960 --> 0:18:24.320 that donated those cats and made those caskets personal. I 0:18:24.359 --> 0:18:27.600 thought that was beautiful. I hate that that just was 0:18:27.680 --> 0:18:30.520 the situation, but I appreciate that they made those caskets 0:18:30.560 --> 0:18:34.439 personal for however, whatever that particular kid was great. I 0:18:34.440 --> 0:18:37.280 saw a dinosaur one, I saw some superhero one one. 0:18:37.560 --> 0:18:40.159 I thought that was so great because that just it 0:18:40.359 --> 0:18:43.800 just helped the family hopefully put them out a little easy. 0:18:44.480 --> 0:18:46.480 I don't know the depth of a kid, and I 0:18:46.520 --> 0:18:48.359 hope I never know, the death of one of my children. 0:18:48.400 --> 0:18:50.520 I hope my children bury me because I don't think 0:18:50.520 --> 0:18:52.040 I wish if I have that pain neither. I would 0:18:52.080 --> 0:18:53.440 be like the man. I would probably have a heart 0:18:53.440 --> 0:18:57.400 attack of that. Yeah, it's just overall, it's just sad. 0:18:57.400 --> 0:19:00.320 And then today there's a shooting in Tulsa, oaklad Homa. 0:19:00.720 --> 0:19:03.119 There was a shooting, and you know in Laguna Woods 0:19:03.119 --> 0:19:07.320 here in California. It's just the level of gun violence 0:19:07.400 --> 0:19:11.320 is happening across the country is just it's ridiculous. And 0:19:11.560 --> 0:19:15.439 I've seen stats too that says more um, teenagers and 0:19:15.600 --> 0:19:18.640 children die by gun violence in a year than any 0:19:18.640 --> 0:19:22.120 other cause, any other whether it's not a car accident, 0:19:22.200 --> 0:19:26.400 it's not a drug overdose, kids die more often due 0:19:26.440 --> 0:19:31.800 to gun violence, children and teenagers. It is the It 0:19:32.119 --> 0:19:36.159 is the crush that they are using, Lauren, is that 0:19:36.200 --> 0:19:38.359 they're saying that everybody has been locked up for two 0:19:38.440 --> 0:19:42.480 years and we have mental illness. But mental illness was 0:19:42.520 --> 0:19:46.560 here long before the pandemic. It just wasn't addressed. And 0:19:46.600 --> 0:19:49.440 I do understand that people have been cooped up. They 0:19:49.440 --> 0:19:51.199 gave a lot of people a lot of time to 0:19:51.280 --> 0:19:53.800 realize that I am not okay. But this is not 0:19:53.880 --> 0:19:55.920 how you fix it. You go to therapy, you talk 0:19:56.000 --> 0:19:59.359 to somebody professional to help you find your way of 0:19:59.560 --> 0:20:02.439 get I'm out the darkness. I don't understand it. I 0:20:02.480 --> 0:20:05.040 don't want to understand it. But I tell you what, Lauren, 0:20:06.359 --> 0:20:08.720 self preservation is the first line of nature. I ain't 0:20:08.720 --> 0:20:10.640 the baddest on the earth, but a damn sure ain't 0:20:10.680 --> 0:20:15.800 the scariest. I'm hoping that in the situation is in Walmart, 0:20:15.880 --> 0:20:18.720 I'm in Walmart, I'm paranoida's hell, I'm looking at people. 0:20:18.880 --> 0:20:21.000 I'm looking at people if they got on the extra coat, 0:20:21.280 --> 0:20:24.040 or they're looking at me crazy if they look This 0:20:24.119 --> 0:20:27.000 is the fear that we're living in because where church, 0:20:27.359 --> 0:20:30.520 grocery store. They had a shooting at a Xavier University 0:20:30.520 --> 0:20:32.520 the other day they killed the grandmother. They had a 0:20:32.520 --> 0:20:36.879 shooting at the graduation, Lauren. And in Louisiana's You're not 0:20:36.920 --> 0:20:43.320 safe anywhere purchased a cemetery, a graduation. Nothing is safe. Well, 0:20:43.359 --> 0:20:45.159 that's also too why I refused to go to a 0:20:45.160 --> 0:20:47.280 movie theater now, because I just don't feel safe and 0:20:47.320 --> 0:20:49.680 I'm always on edge and I can't enjoy a movie 0:20:49.720 --> 0:20:54.840 anymore because of those things. But yeah, I just, uh, 0:20:55.000 --> 0:20:57.000 it's just it's sad. Like I said, I've been sad 0:20:57.080 --> 0:21:00.280
