I think so, and I think 0:02:58.880 --> 0:03:01.960 we also have an announcement for everybody as well. We do. 0:03:02.160 --> 0:03:04.280 So we had a meeting Friday with My Heart and 0:03:04.320 --> 0:03:06.440 the Black Effect Network, and so they feel like it 0:03:06.480 --> 0:03:09.160 would be more conducive for us to drop the video 0:03:09.200 --> 0:03:12.359 component on Friday night now as opposed to Wednesday night. 0:03:12.480 --> 0:03:15.560 So from now on we will be dropping live at 0:03:15.600 --> 0:03:18.400 Friday at midnight, but the audio will still be on 0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:21.400 I Heart, Apple, Spotify, Amazon or wherever you listen to 0:03:21.440 --> 0:03:25.240 your podcast that on Wednesday night midnight. So listen to 0:03:25.280 --> 0:03:26.920 it and then get the chance to see what I 0:03:26.960 --> 0:03:28.760 look like on Fred. You got the whole weekend to 0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:32.640 lust stepped up after Laurence. Remember I told you I 0:03:32.680 --> 0:03:38.760 was Lauren. Good morning, good afternoon, good evening. Nick Good afternoon. 0:03:38.880 --> 0:03:40.960 I heard the announcement, and that is good news for 0:03:41.000 --> 0:03:43.119 all of our viewers who have been wanting to see 0:03:43.160 --> 0:03:45.640 the show. And uh, did you tell them the reason 0:03:45.680 --> 0:03:47.680 behind that plane? Because you talked about the move, but 0:03:47.800 --> 0:03:50.040 did you tell them why that's actually we already talking 0:03:50.040 --> 0:03:54.400 about that. It's a benefit, it's an US We're gonna 0:03:54.400 --> 0:03:56.080 all make more money. So should I say it like that? 0:03:56.080 --> 0:04:02.680 Should I tell them that? I think we We just 0:04:02.720 --> 0:04:04.560 had some We have some breaking news that happened a 0:04:04.600 --> 0:04:06.680 few minutes ago over the wire while I was doing 0:04:06.720 --> 0:04:09.560 my day job, and that is the number of people 0:04:09.760 --> 0:04:13.600 enrolling in the expansion of Obamacare. It looks like there 0:04:13.640 --> 0:04:16.920 are several people, particularly from red states, that are just 0:04:17.080 --> 0:04:19.919 jumping on board. Uh, this was not expected. This was 0:04:19.960 --> 0:04:23.839 not part of the Biden administration's whole focus as much 0:04:23.880 --> 0:04:26.800 as just making it available to everyone. But it looks like, um, 0:04:27.080 --> 0:04:30.720 what has happened here Within the last two to three weeks, 0:04:31.000 --> 0:04:33.479 they've seen an explosion in a number of enrollments for 0:04:33.560 --> 0:04:37.320 Obamacare UM expanding the Affordable Care Act two hundreds of 0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:41.440 thousands of people, specifically in Wyoming. We find this interesting 0:04:41.440 --> 0:04:43.400 because Wyoming is a red state, but it looks like 0:04:43.760 --> 0:04:46.240 so much activity has happened on the Affordable Care Act 0:04:46.240 --> 0:04:49.320 in the last few weeks. Uh that those governors, governors 0:04:49.360 --> 0:04:51.400 of to red states, I'm trying to find that second 0:04:51.400 --> 0:04:56.400 red state are talking about expanding Medicare and Medicaid as 0:04:56.440 --> 0:04:58.920 a result, things that they didn't want to do originally 0:04:59.000 --> 0:05:01.840 under Obama. But it looks like the citizenry are really 0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:08.360 excited about having access to affordable healthcare. Okay, I would listen. Listen, Republicans, 0:05:08.440 --> 0:05:10.320 y'all taken a little longer to get on board, but 0:05:10.440 --> 0:05:12.320 I'll come on and get on board. I bet you 0:05:12.360 --> 0:05:14.280 plenty of haven't got them simbulist checks next week. I 0:05:14.320 --> 0:05:17.280 wondered if they send their stimulus check back. I'm asking 0:05:17.360 --> 0:05:20.440 for a friend, so I need some clarifications. So, Nick, 0:05:20.480 --> 0:05:23.359 you're saying that are more people enrolling or just the 0:05:23.400 --> 0:05:27.599 governor's expanding it? Or is it both? That enrollment is 0:05:27.680 --> 0:05:31.120 forcing governments to look at other ways to expand, because 0:05:31.360 --> 0:05:34.280 what happens is when they expand that Affordable Care Act, 0:05:34.320 --> 0:05:36.719 they're able to get compensated in other areas. And it 0:05:36.720 --> 0:05:39.279 looks like people are just really excited about the program 0:05:39.320 --> 0:05:41.760 and to get on board and this is not something. Uh, 0:05:41.920 --> 0:05:43.719 you know, they haven't always been on board with the 0:05:43.760 --> 0:05:46.880 idea of the Affordable Care Act or Obamacare, whatever terminology 0:05:46.920 --> 0:05:48.400 you want to give it. And it looks like the 0:05:48.480 --> 0:05:51.240 people are excited about what it offers and affords them, 0:05:51.360 --> 0:05:54.760 particularly those who still have children who maybe within the 0:05:54.760 --> 0:05:56.880 age group, who still live at home, who still fall 0:05:56.960 --> 0:05:59.240 within that age parameter for them to ensure. Well, let 0:05:59.240 --> 0:06:01.760 me say this, those are the dumb ones. Just you 0:06:01.839 --> 0:06:04.719 just broke it down and explain the Affordable Care Act 0:06:05.080 --> 0:06:06.920 from Obamacare, because you know, a lot of them that 0:06:07.080 --> 0:06:10.080 voted for Trump back in two thousand and sixteen thought 0:06:10.120 --> 0:06:12.920 that the Affordable Care Act was Donald Trump's Act. They 0:06:12.920 --> 0:06:15.039 didn't know that that was the Obamacare because you know, 0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:17.320 some of us don't read, don't write, you know, reading 0:06:17.320 --> 0:06:19.200 its fundament that they don't do none of that. But 0:06:19.440 --> 0:06:21.880 now they see that it was beneficial to them. So 0:06:21.920 --> 0:06:25.360 good for them for finding their way. Um, they're trying 0:06:25.360 --> 0:06:27.240 to get those vaccines too, so but I don't want 0:06:27.279 --> 0:06:29.159 to open that candle words. I'm sorry, I take that back. 0:06:29.240 --> 0:06:31.600 Can I retract that statement? I take that back. I 0:06:31.640 --> 0:06:33.880 don't want to. I don't even talk about vaccine at all. 0:06:35.839 --> 0:06:37.800 In fact, i'll close on this. I'll just let you 0:06:37.880 --> 0:06:40.480 know that it looks like, uh, there are two hundred 0:06:40.480 --> 0:06:45.080 thousand new enrollments, um uh, particularly for this for Obamacare, 0:06:45.320 --> 0:06:47.760 and that's not something that they were expecting at all. 0:06:48.000 --> 0:06:52.240 So that's how popular it is. Dumb dumps, dumb dumbs. Yeah, 0:06:52.360 --> 0:06:55.160 dumb dumps, dumb dumps. Look, look, look, y'all, I'm ready 0:06:55.160 --> 0:06:57.400 for traveling. Y'all see my shield? Like what you really 0:06:57.440 --> 0:06:59.960 wear that the entire fight? Why do you do that already? 0:07:00.560 --> 0:07:03.479 Of course I did. Yeah, baby, I'm not playing with y'all. 0:07:03.480 --> 0:07:05.640 I'm doing my part because I don't want y'all part. 0:07:05.640 --> 0:07:07.840 Because y'all see what's happening in Miami. I know that 0:07:07.880 --> 0:07:10.040 ain't the next topic, but I'm ready to go to Miami. 0:07:10.320 --> 0:07:12.280 And I'm not even going to Miami for the super 0:07:12.320 --> 0:07:14.560 spread event that I think that is happening, because we're 0:07:14.640 --> 0:07:16.440 truly not out of the woods. I'm one of Miami. 0:07:16.480 --> 0:07:18.520 But they talk about the police down there are being 0:07:18.680 --> 0:07:21.280 very brutal to the black students, to those black people 0:07:21.360 --> 0:07:23.240 down there, they are being racist and beating them over 0:07:23.360 --> 0:07:27.000 here with Billy Cliff and being extra aggressive towards the 0:07:27.120 --> 0:07:30.440 Black Keys that's down their party and for spring break, 0:07:30.840 --> 0:07:34.520 the Blacks, not nobody else. Well, I did see that report. 0:07:34.600 --> 0:07:38.320 To um, it's it's I've seen some video and you know, 0:07:38.440 --> 0:07:41.280 some of it is conflicting stories. One, I'll just say, 0:07:41.400 --> 0:07:43.760 this whole curfew that's been put in place in Miami 0:07:43.920 --> 0:07:46.360 is so unrealistic because I remember they hadn't tried to 0:07:46.400 --> 0:07:48.360 do the same thing when I was down there. Nobody's 0:07:48.360 --> 0:07:51.000 gonna follow it. But you know, state of emergency. Okay, 0:07:51.680 --> 0:07:54.800 it looks good optically, but um, yeah, I did see 0:07:54.840 --> 0:07:57.720 some reports around. You know, police are being very brutal 0:07:57.880 --> 0:08:00.440 to you know, students of color down there, which I 0:08:00.520 --> 0:08:05.480 think is absolutely unacceptable. Um. But I've heard conflicting stories 0:08:05.520 --> 0:08:08.240 from kids that are down there, because one young lady 0:08:08.320 --> 0:08:09.880 came on the news and was just saying, you know, 0:08:10.720 --> 0:08:13.640 some of these kids are actually inciting some of these attacks, 0:08:13.760 --> 0:08:17.120 and we have to be accountable in different things. So, UM, 0:08:17.240 --> 0:08:19.760 I'll just say this, Please be safe. Miami is very 0:08:19.800 --> 0:08:22.360 wild during this time. We're still in a pandemic and 0:08:22.440 --> 0:08:25.320 nobody's wearing a mask, So just please be safe if 0:08:25.360 --> 0:08:28.040 you are in Miami. More than one thousand arrest as 0:08:28.120 --> 0:08:32.600 Miami Beach pushes spring Bay break curfew into April. Police 0:08:32.640 --> 0:08:35.480 condemned for use of pepper balls flame. This may be 0:08:35.679 --> 0:08:37.920 directly tied to what you were talking about, pepper balls 0:08:37.960 --> 0:08:41.120 to break up crowds. Uh, break curfew has been ignored. 0:08:41.160 --> 0:08:43.800 It's at eight p m. So I guess they issue 0:08:45.440 --> 0:08:49.280 said Ever, nobody's following that, so they it's at a 0:08:49.400 --> 0:08:51.560 p m. Hey, eight o'clock. Off the streets. People are 0:08:51.679 --> 0:08:55.160 moving fast enough. That's when uh, they're making steps to 0:08:55.320 --> 0:08:58.679 disperse crowds and Mibie Beach officials have extended a curfew 0:08:58.840 --> 0:09:01.880 and state of emergency into the month of April. Yeah, 0:09:01.880 --> 0:09:04.880 and I think that's also to giving them away our 0:09:05.000 --> 0:09:07.840 justification for it, because they know nobody's gonna follow an 0:09:07.840 --> 0:09:11.240 APM curfew. So it's also almost giving the police officers, 0:09:11.480 --> 0:09:13.280 you know, the carte blanche to say, Okay, I can 0:09:13.320 --> 0:09:15.240 go after you and harass you because you're out here 0:09:15.280 --> 0:09:17.520 past eight o'clock, because they know nobody's gonna follow that. 0:09:17.600 --> 0:09:19.960 It's spring break. Who's staying in their room at eight o'clock? 0:09:20.520 --> 0:09:23.320 That's it's just absolutely ridiculous. I will say, though, did 0:09:23.360 --> 0:09:25.559 you guys see that video of that one kid that 0:09:25.600 --> 0:09:27.599 got arrested and sprinted out of the back of the 0:09:27.679 --> 0:09:30.640 police car and tried to run down the beach. Hilarious. 0:09:31.000 --> 0:09:34.079 I didn't see that. But here's my thing. One thousand arrest. 0:09:34.200 --> 0:09:37.120 If you didn't catch the coronavirus at the party you're 0:09:37.120 --> 0:09:39.400 on damn show, catch it in jail because they're not 0:09:39.480 --> 0:09:41.480 gonna let you masch win no mask while you're arrested. 0:09:41.840 --> 0:09:44.199 People arein't even thinking about that. I'm telling you, it 0:09:44.400 --> 0:09:48.640 is very scary and ridiculously you keep you keep, you 0:09:48.760 --> 0:09:50.920 keep talking about that. But I really think most people 0:09:50.960 --> 0:09:54.200 are past the coronavirus. I really do, like that's that's 0:09:54.240 --> 0:09:58.040 not on anyone's mind in Miami. It's not only anybody's 0:09:58.080 --> 0:09:59.920 man ain't having a good time because people want to 0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:02.120 be free. We've been trapped up like animals. We want 0:10:02.160 --> 0:10:03.640 to be out. We want to be loose. But you 0:10:03.760 --> 0:10:07.599 also have to be responsible and cautious for you, for you. 0:10:08.880 --> 0:10:11.040 I And this is a great question for our Flame 0:10:11.080 --> 0:10:13.040 masks that we can address later in the show, because 0:10:13.080 --> 0:10:14.480 one of the things we want to encourage people to 0:10:14.559 --> 0:10:17.080 do is ask Flame. We want to talk about if 0:10:17.080 --> 0:10:18.959 you've got a question to ask Flame, use those flames 0:10:19.000 --> 0:10:20.760 and throw it in there, and Flame will address one 0:10:20.800 --> 0:10:22.640 of those questions at the end of the show. But 0:10:22.760 --> 0:10:25.000 one of the things that we saw also Flame this 0:10:25.120 --> 0:10:27.719 week was how those in New York, and this is 0:10:27.760 --> 0:10:30.240 where flame masks can definitely sound off, looks like those 0:10:30.280 --> 0:10:34.240 in New York along the Eastern Seaboard, specifically the upper Northeast, 0:10:34.600 --> 0:10:37.360 have had a harder time dealing with COVID than those 0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:39.440 on the West coast and in the Midwest and here 0:10:39.480 --> 0:10:41.400 in the South. Here in the South, you know, we 0:10:41.520 --> 0:10:44.360 never really took the mask mandates, seriously, there was never 0:10:44.440 --> 0:10:51.000 a complete lockdown. Restaurant stayed open. That's the South. Atlanta, Arkansas, Mississippi, Tennessee, 0:10:51.520 --> 0:10:53.960 California still had weather on its side, so people can 0:10:54.000 --> 0:10:56.360 still mix and mingle. The article that I had talked 0:10:56.400 --> 0:10:59.040 specifically about New York and how New Yorkers didn't have 0:10:59.120 --> 0:11:03.199 the luxury of mixing, maybe going to the beach, walking outside, 0:11:03.679 --> 0:11:05.439 being in warmer weather, and then they got hit with 0:11:05.480 --> 0:11:07.959 a brutal storm. So it's just been really hard on 0:11:08.080 --> 0:11:11.319 them psychologically. It's been really hard on them psychologically, and 0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:14.120 it's been really hard on them spiritually because they just 0:11:14.240 --> 0:11:16.200 haven't had the same amount of contact. Well, he's stuck 0:11:16.240 --> 0:11:17.920 in the house. Is New York, you know, having to 0:11:17.960 --> 0:11:19.679 what New York is like in one time and then 0:11:19.720 --> 0:11:21.800 they had blizzes and brutal beating us. They was up 0:11:21.840 --> 0:11:23.800 in the damn house. They were just in the house 0:11:23.840 --> 0:11:25.760 longer than we were on the West Coast because our 0:11:25.800 --> 0:11:28.120 weather is better and we do have the beaches. They 0:11:28.200 --> 0:11:30.360 have beaches in in New York, but you're not gonna 0:11:30.400 --> 0:11:33.079 go when it's freezing. So that's why they're stuck in 0:11:33.120 --> 0:11:35.800 the house. They I'm telling you people just tired, but please, 0:11:35.880 --> 0:11:38.360 let's get off coronavirus. I'm sick of the coronavirus. I'm 0:11:38.360 --> 0:11:40.480 sick of I'm sick of the coronavirus. I'm sick of 0:11:40.559 --> 0:11:43.000 everything that's entail with it. I'm tired of talking about it. 0:11:43.280 --> 0:11:45.040 You know what I want to talk about that hurts 0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:46.880 me to my soul. But I don't know the answer 0:11:46.920 --> 0:11:49.120 to the question. Could you believe that I don't know 0:11:49.200 --> 0:11:55.560 the answer to something? The children at the borders? Yeah, oh, 0:11:55.600 --> 0:11:57.680 I thought you said that was too depressing. I didn't 0:11:57.679 --> 0:11:59.000 say that. I said I didn't want to talk about 0:11:59.040 --> 0:12:00.920 Cuomo asked no more. In three weeks in a row. 0:12:01.080 --> 0:12:03.559 Baby gonna do what he's gonna do. I want to 0:12:03.600 --> 0:12:05.920 talk about the kids at the border, because you know 0:12:06.400 --> 0:12:09.400 it is. And somebody said, I was on coffee time 0:12:09.480 --> 0:12:11.800 this morning, somebody said that they would like to have 0:12:11.960 --> 0:12:15.800 the Joe Biden stopped pressed from going to to there. 0:12:16.280 --> 0:12:19.400 Do you really want to see those conditions? Do you know? 0:12:19.600 --> 0:12:21.960 Something you hear about and you're hearing it is one thing, 0:12:22.440 --> 0:12:24.959 but physically seeing it with your own as leads such 0:12:25.000 --> 0:12:27.679 a staying in your DNA and an impression in your mind. 0:12:27.760 --> 0:12:28.959 I don't want to see that. I don't want to 0:12:29.000 --> 0:12:31.800 see those deplorable conditions. I hear enough. It's like with 0:12:31.920 --> 0:12:34.920 Brianna Taylor. We knew the horrific way she died, but 0:12:35.080 --> 0:12:37.840 we didn't see it. But when we saw George Floyd's 0:12:37.920 --> 0:12:40.720 death in our eyes in real time, over and over 0:12:40.880 --> 0:12:43.600 and over, you relive that. That puts some people into depression. 0:12:43.880 --> 0:12:45.240 I don't think I want to see that. I think 0:12:45.280 --> 0:12:46.600 I want them to fix it, but I don't want 0:12:46.640 --> 0:12:49.000 to see it. Um I'm the opposite. I think that 0:12:49.120 --> 0:12:52.680 it's good that we're bringing it because I think it's different. 0:12:52.720 --> 0:12:54.960 When you hear something, you'll say like, oh, that's sad, 0:12:55.000 --> 0:12:56.959 blah blah blah blah blah. But when you see something 0:12:57.000 --> 0:12:59.920 in real time and really understand the depth of what's 0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:02.959 taking place, I think it adds that extra you know, 0:13:03.120 --> 0:13:05.079 pull to your heartstrings. It says, this is something that 0:13:05.160 --> 0:13:07.400 needs to be addressed. You know. That's why you know, 0:13:07.559 --> 0:13:11.560 before you know Biden came into this administration, you had people, 0:13:11.880 --> 0:13:14.440 um like Betsy DeVos that was saying things like, oh, 0:13:14.520 --> 0:13:17.000 you know, it's like a retreatment center and it's not 0:13:17.120 --> 0:13:19.640 that bad, and you know there they have blankets, and 0:13:20.160 --> 0:13:21.559 she kind of made it seem like it was a 0:13:21.600 --> 0:13:23.680 summer camp that these kids were going to. It wasn't 0:13:23.720 --> 0:13:26.480 until cameras went in and said no, this is actually 0:13:26.559 --> 0:13:31.200 what's happening. Then everybody was outraged. That's the same slow 0:13:31.280 --> 0:13:35.800 beach that was in charge of education. Yeah yeah, huh huh. 0:13:36.200 --> 0:13:40.160 I think as uh as having worked as a journalist 0:13:40.280 --> 0:13:43.199 most of my professional career, I think I agree with 0:13:43.320 --> 0:13:46.040 you on that, Lauren. I think that sunlight really is 0:13:46.120 --> 0:13:49.680 the best disinfectant. Right. It is definitely uncomfortable. I think 0:13:50.200 --> 0:13:52.439 we have a history of showing images that are uncomfortable, 0:13:52.440 --> 0:13:56.440 but it also sparks discussion. I can argue that seeing 0:13:56.600 --> 0:13:59.079 hoses turned on people and dogs let loose, you know, 0:13:59.320 --> 0:14:02.920 in Selma, leading to the civil rights movement, or really 0:14:03.040 --> 0:14:05.679 the the action behind it is what really sparked it. 0:14:06.080 --> 0:14:08.719 It is possible that people seeing these images flame will 0:14:09.040 --> 0:14:13.680 force Congress to finally act on a comprehensive plan for immigration, 0:14:14.040 --> 0:14:17.040 because the problem, I feel like it's multi factoral. Right, 0:14:17.400 --> 0:14:20.560 So it's not only that we have a border at 0:14:20.600 --> 0:14:23.760 the US Mexico, a crisis at the US Mexico border, 0:14:24.000 --> 0:14:26.800 but we also have a situation where now, unlike before, 0:14:27.160 --> 0:14:30.200 we've got these unaccompanied kids coming. And I don't know 0:14:30.280 --> 0:14:32.240 what you do with that. If it's somebody as old 0:14:32.280 --> 0:14:35.400 as me, it's Nick walking across the border, sending Nick back, 0:14:35.560 --> 0:14:38.440 let them get eaten by coyotes or whatever, because I'm 0:14:38.440 --> 0:14:40.680 an adult, but I don't think that children should be 0:14:40.720 --> 0:14:42.280 subjected to that. And I don't know what you do 0:14:42.360 --> 0:14:45.160 in that situation. Uh, if you give them harbor, if 0:14:45.200 --> 0:14:47.960 you let them stay on the Mexico side, Uh, do 0:14:48.080 --> 0:14:51.120 you still treat people like people? I think that most 0:14:51.200 --> 0:14:54.120 people want a strong border, but they're not clear on 0:14:54.200 --> 0:14:57.240 how they want that border enforced. And so I think 0:14:57.280 --> 0:15:00.360 we just have a situation that really has snow bald 0:15:00.560 --> 0:15:02.000 over the years. But I think this whole thing is 0:15:02.040 --> 0:15:04.880 hypocritical though, because I just want to draw a parallel. 0:15:05.120 --> 0:15:07.480 I find it interesting that we don't want people from 0:15:07.560 --> 0:15:10.680 Mexico coming into the United States. Some people feel that way. 0:15:10.800 --> 0:15:13.360 I don't. I think it's interesting that we don't want 0:15:13.600 --> 0:15:16.520 them coming here. But at the same time, when coronavirus happened, 0:15:16.640 --> 0:15:20.000 everybody fled to Mexico that were from the US, so 0:15:20.320 --> 0:15:22.120 we were gonna have to find some type of middle 0:15:22.160 --> 0:15:26.520 ground here. Because it's very hypocritical, I understand, like, you know, 0:15:26.800 --> 0:15:30.600 people are are coming to have a better life. You know, 0:15:30.680 --> 0:15:35.040 they're escaping you know, very detrimental and violent and you 0:15:35.120 --> 0:15:39.200 know sometimes you know, possibly you know, being killed, like 0:15:39.240 --> 0:15:41.640 these different circumstances. They should have a right to come here. 0:15:41.920 --> 0:15:43.880 That's just how I feel, And I just think it's 0:15:43.960 --> 0:15:46.240 very hypocritical that in one vein we're gonna say, oh no, 0:15:46.360 --> 0:15:48.120 you can't come here, But in the same second, when 0:15:48.160 --> 0:15:50.400 something disastrous happens in America, we want to flee to 0:15:50.480 --> 0:15:52.640 the same country that we're trying to prevent people from 0:15:52.640 --> 0:15:55.760 coming to. That's just absolutely that's ridiculous, and I think 0:15:55.840 --> 0:15:59.040 for the point of clarification to most of these um 0:15:59.560 --> 0:16:02.120 and I want to be careful with our language, with 0:16:02.280 --> 0:16:05.520 my language, but I think those who are seeking refuge 0:16:05.600 --> 0:16:08.880 here are coming from Central America. It's not even Mexico, 0:16:09.280 --> 0:16:14.400 so they're coming through Mexico. It's both. I had learned 0:16:14.400 --> 0:16:16.560 the Mexico part, but I've definitely heard I'd heard Central 0:16:16.600 --> 0:16:19.360 America because they've been devastated over the last year with 0:16:19.520 --> 0:16:22.280 the storms and the drought. So all I'm saying Mexico, 0:16:22.400 --> 0:16:24.960 I think. Let's the clarify. I'm saying it's both because 0:16:25.000 --> 0:16:27.800 I personally know people that have that came from Mexico 0:16:27.880 --> 0:16:29.600 to be here. So that's why I'm saying it's both, 0:16:29.600 --> 0:16:31.840 because I have people that I work with that were 0:16:31.840 --> 0:16:36.120 actually refuge refugees from Mexico and that came to this country. Well, 0:16:36.160 --> 0:16:38.040 then we give up a one and don't come here. 0:16:38.360 --> 0:16:40.520 Y'all don't come here because y'all think y'all get it 0:16:40.760 --> 0:16:43.160 bad over there. We had it bad for four years, 0:16:43.240 --> 0:16:47.240 ship you might I'm here. Whoa, we had it bad. 0:16:47.360 --> 0:16:50.440 We had a bad, real bad this last year. Uh No. 0:16:50.600 --> 0:16:53.000 Answers to the questions I hear what y'are saying about 0:16:53.040 --> 0:16:55.880 people the cameras over there. Maybe it will make people, 0:16:56.440 --> 0:16:59.680 but do what what are we gonna do our hands time? 0:17:00.560 --> 0:17:03.040 What can we do? Well? No Biden can do something. 0:17:03.160 --> 0:17:05.120 And that's the other thing too, is that I feel 0:17:05.160 --> 0:17:07.959 like with this whole Biden administration, people are forgetting as 0:17:08.040 --> 0:17:11.720 well that Biden inherited a screwed up situation at the 0:17:11.760 --> 0:17:14.480 border because of what Trump did, similar to when Obama, 0:17:14.760 --> 0:17:18.160 you know, came into office, he inherited a screwed up economy. 0:17:18.480 --> 0:17:20.880 So I want us to be careful before we automatically 0:17:20.920 --> 0:17:22.880 go on the let's blame Biden train, because I feel 0:17:22.920 --> 0:17:25.480 like we do that a lot. I'm not blaming I 0:17:25.520 --> 0:17:28.000 don't and I'm not blaming him yet. I will say 0:17:28.040 --> 0:17:30.480 that because I think he needs he needs to he 0:17:30.600 --> 0:17:33.160 needs to have an opportunity to try and fix this disaster. 0:17:33.320 --> 0:17:35.040 So that's why I'm saying I'm not blaming him yet. 0:17:35.240 --> 0:17:36.960 I want to see what he does. And if he 0:17:37.080 --> 0:17:40.040 doesn't do what I think is necessary to fix the situation, 0:17:40.320 --> 0:17:42.159 then you all can go ahead and blame him. But 0:17:42.280 --> 0:17:44.200 I think that we need to see what he's going 0:17:44.280 --> 0:17:48.920 to do because he inherited a very screwed up situations 0:17:49.000 --> 0:17:52.399 to time, and please, Nick, we're gonna bring it on flame. Man, 0:17:52.400 --> 0:17:53.800 We're gonna come back to you because we want to 0:17:53.840 --> 0:17:56.159 get some other people's opinions. We read that kid me 0:17:56.280 --> 0:17:58.720 so blessed. How are you? I'm good. I'm gonna make 0:17:58.760 --> 0:18:02.439 it quick. So as far as the borders are concerned, 0:18:03.240 --> 0:18:07.560 this was happening before Biden, before Trump, before Obama, and 0:18:07.640 --> 0:18:10.639 I think the media is now bringing attention to it, 0:18:11.200 --> 0:18:15.040 and so emotionally we get attached to the stories and 0:18:15.119 --> 0:18:17.400 to the little things that we hear. But it's been 0:18:17.440 --> 0:18:19.840 a problem at those board. It's been a problem for 0:18:19.880 --> 0:18:23.639 a long time. Now When is it a problem that 0:18:23.760 --> 0:18:25.560 we are stopping them or is it a problem that 0:18:25.680 --> 0:18:28.560 we are containing them? Because I'm like Lauren, I I 0:18:28.760 --> 0:18:32.000 know wonderful Mexican people that I and Latino people that 0:18:32.080 --> 0:18:34.359 I fucking loving the door I used to date the 0:18:34.440 --> 0:18:38.080 Mexican man and woman. Don't air your business now, don't 0:18:38.119 --> 0:18:41.840 an your business, now you go. I think it's a 0:18:42.000 --> 0:18:46.479 problem that I think it's a problem that they're being um, 0:18:46.880 --> 0:18:50.640 they're being abused, that being mistreated, sex trafficing is happening, 0:18:51.000 --> 0:18:53.639 Crimes are happening towards them. There wasn't There was a 0:18:53.800 --> 0:18:57.520 Border patrol officer who was a serial killer and killing 0:18:57.600 --> 0:19:00.080 women that came out a couple of years ago. So 0:19:00.240 --> 0:19:02.720 they're being exploited in a way that it's not right. 0:19:03.520 --> 0:19:05.280 It's not right, and I think that's why we say, 0:19:05.320 --> 0:19:07.639 at least in my opinion, I'm glad that media is 0:19:07.720 --> 0:19:10.119 bringing attention to it because I feel like a lot 0:19:10.200 --> 0:19:12.359 of these stories end up getting buried. There was also 0:19:12.560 --> 0:19:14.640 the story that came up about some of these women 0:19:14.680 --> 0:19:17.359 that were in detention centers that were getting hysterectomies and 0:19:17.400 --> 0:19:20.280 didn't even know about it. So it's necessary, I think 0:19:20.320 --> 0:19:22.720 for the media to cover it. I think it's necessary 0:19:22.800 --> 0:19:24.840 for the cameras to go down so we can understand 0:19:25.160 --> 0:19:26.960 and really have almost like a bird side view of 0:19:27.119 --> 0:19:29.560 what's going on, because sometimes the full story is not 0:19:29.680 --> 0:19:32.240 being told accurately. So that's why I say, I think 0:19:32.280 --> 0:19:34.080 it's important to have the cameras in the media go 0:19:34.200 --> 0:19:37.840 down there. And like you said, Lauren, we can't put 0:19:37.920 --> 0:19:40.560 this on Biden. We can't. I mean, the man hasn't 0:19:40.600 --> 0:19:43.640 even been in office six whole months, and everybody wants 0:19:43.680 --> 0:19:45.679 to put everything on him. We have to give him 0:19:45.720 --> 0:19:48.760 a chance to get his administration in order and get 0:19:48.840 --> 0:19:52.159 things going on on his side of what he can do. 0:19:52.640 --> 0:19:55.160 But also we don't pay attention enough to our local 0:19:55.280 --> 0:19:59.840 government to put everything on one partisan. Absolutely, so there's 0:20:00.000 --> 0:20:01.639 a lot of people across the board that need to 0:20:01.680 --> 0:20:06.160 be held accountable for this, not just the president. Absolutely. Girl, 0:20:06.359 --> 0:20:08.600 I'm telling me so blessed. Thank you for coming in 0:20:08.680 --> 0:20:11.200 with that information because we appreciate it. We I'm telling 0:20:11.240 --> 0:20:12.840 the flame man's give it to us. Y'all know, y'all 0:20:12.880 --> 0:20:15.800 give it to us. Thank you, flame. I love you, guys, 0:20:15.880 --> 0:20:42.640 Thank you so much. Thank you. Bye bye h. I'm 0:20:42.720 --> 0:20:44.800 sorry if you can't see me, we can see you. 0:20:46.160 --> 0:20:51.159 I was not feeling well. Well you're feeling better now, 0:20:51.200 --> 0:20:52.920 Miss Jess. Can you sound off for us there? We 0:20:53.000 --> 0:20:54.640 want to know what you think. You you you hear 0:20:54.720 --> 0:20:56.760 the topic today, what's going on? What are your thoughts? 0:20:56.880 --> 0:20:58.760 Give it to us in three minutes. My mom is 0:20:59.000 --> 0:21:02.439 is from mex Coach. She came here at eighteen UM. 0:21:02.680 --> 0:21:06.960 I don't appreciate people talking about coming here illegally because 0:21:07.040 --> 0:21:10.159 we have laws that say we could claim asylum, so 0:21:10.280 --> 0:21:13.160 people at the borders can claim asylum. I'm really sick 0:21:13.240 --> 0:21:15.639 of people saying they're coming here illegally when there are 0:21:16.680 --> 0:21:21.159
