So yesterday 0:02:15.120 --> 0:02:17.440 I watched my show, which is p Valley, which I love, 0:02:18.200 --> 0:02:20.520 and I watched the show which is Back, which was 0:02:20.560 --> 0:02:23.679 also good. But I watched the b ET Awards last night. 0:02:23.760 --> 0:02:27.959 Let's get to it. I loved it. I gotta do. 0:02:28.360 --> 0:02:30.480 I finally went home and watched it. I loved it. 0:02:30.520 --> 0:02:33.519 I think it was great, Like it wasn't a typical 0:02:34.040 --> 0:02:36.680 ghetto BET Awards. It was very it was done very, 0:02:36.800 --> 0:02:40.760 very well. I thought. I watched it to see tage host, 0:02:40.840 --> 0:02:42.880 because you know, that's always my interest to see what 0:02:42.919 --> 0:02:45.799 the host gonna do. I thought she was pretty good. Uh. 0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:49.000 Some of the outfits no, uh and when we and 0:02:49.040 --> 0:02:51.280 since we're on closed, because you know, I love to rage, 0:02:51.600 --> 0:02:54.520 but since we're on clothes, let's do close. You know 0:02:54.520 --> 0:03:00.600 who I thought was absolutely adorable. Lauren Marseilles. I thought 0:03:00.680 --> 0:03:04.800 dressed age appropriate and it was cute. It wasn't scandalous 0:03:04.880 --> 0:03:07.720 and she's been showing too much. It was cute dresses there, 0:03:08.080 --> 0:03:10.680 but it was way more not cute dresses and outfit 0:03:10.720 --> 0:03:14.600 said it was cute ones. Yeah. The fashion didn't really 0:03:14.639 --> 0:03:16.160 do it for me. There was there was a handful. 0:03:16.200 --> 0:03:19.080 I loved how Marsa looked. I loved Chloe of the 0:03:19.080 --> 0:03:25.240 way Hollie looked. Who well, were kind of like my favorites. Honestly, 0:03:25.280 --> 0:03:27.880 it was use three but some of the some of 0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:31.840 the office were just a little But I thought that Mary. 0:03:31.919 --> 0:03:34.200 I thought Mary looked good. But Mary was walking up 0:03:34.200 --> 0:03:36.320 there to get that reward like them, shoes were stolen 0:03:36.320 --> 0:03:43.800 and she was tipping Batham's shoes? Was tata Um? I 0:03:43.880 --> 0:03:47.240 love jos Ja se was dressed nice. I liked her dress, 0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:51.160 her not her outfit. Who else looked nice? Oh? Who 0:03:51.160 --> 0:03:54.480 else looked nice? To me? Oh? I loved Kiki Palmer stressed. 0:03:54.600 --> 0:03:56.320 But you know who was so damper? To me? It 0:03:56.360 --> 0:04:00.560 was so flat lorn? Was Lena wait Lin Waves looked 0:04:00.600 --> 0:04:02.680 damp related wait oh lad wait? That turned me on? 0:04:04.120 --> 0:04:06.840 Um Yeah, I felt the same way about Daniel Klue. 0:04:06.920 --> 0:04:09.160 I thought his outfit was lovely. It looked really nice, 0:04:09.240 --> 0:04:11.480 especially when him and KICKI came up together. It looked 0:04:11.480 --> 0:04:15.600 really good. And Mariah Garritt looks fabulous too. Mimi made 0:04:15.600 --> 0:04:20.039 an appearance, Mara snuggy to be ty y'all know she 0:04:20.120 --> 0:04:22.760 is sister. She like brothers. Look a lot of them 0:04:22.760 --> 0:04:29.640 like brothers. Get me started on. Okay, so since we're 0:04:29.640 --> 0:04:35.160 doing fashion, now, let's talk about the fashion. Uh's um 0:04:35.200 --> 0:04:39.080 billy Porter's outfit. Yeah, I didn't like it. I didn't 0:04:39.120 --> 0:04:41.520 like it. I think, I mean, in my opinion, I 0:04:41.560 --> 0:04:43.080 don't know this for a fact. I think he was 0:04:43.120 --> 0:04:47.040 going for androgyny. If I were to make an assumption, 0:04:47.680 --> 0:04:51.360 and I just I didn't like it. People have been 0:04:51.400 --> 0:04:55.960 going Stylus wasn't hung up his outfit on those wire hangers. 0:04:56.160 --> 0:04:58.120 The hangar was still in there. Let me just say 0:04:58.120 --> 0:05:04.440 that the hangar was still in the jacket. Ha ha. Yeah. 0:05:04.480 --> 0:05:07.800 I wanted him to do a little more. It was 0:05:07.839 --> 0:05:09.960 a little basic and then the shoulders, it just it 0:05:10.000 --> 0:05:12.880 didn't do it for me. So yeah, it was me 0:05:14.440 --> 0:05:19.520 huh huh, I don't huh I and extended. I don't 0:05:19.520 --> 0:05:21.640 mind that though, Like if I don't mind an extended 0:05:22.800 --> 0:05:25.960 it's shoulder, it doesn't bother me. But it just it 0:05:26.000 --> 0:05:32.280 didn't work yesterday. It didn't work. So the last four 0:05:32.360 --> 0:05:34.960 or five outfits ain't work. It wasn't just yesterday. Don't 0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:38.560 blame that on yesterday. Yesterday had nothing to do with that. Uh, 0:05:38.680 --> 0:05:41.360 let's keep it moving and let's talk about the fur 0:05:41.480 --> 0:05:46.920 boots and the hounds. To Mini dress a saucy Piannah, 0:05:46.920 --> 0:05:50.839 I didn't like the outfit. I really didn't. And you 0:05:50.839 --> 0:05:52.800 know what, Lauren was so funny. I like his music 0:05:52.800 --> 0:05:57.120 against but that outfit and that performance for the pre 0:05:57.200 --> 0:06:00.240 bah Wars, well, let me tell you something. You'd have 0:06:00.240 --> 0:06:01.840 thought he had enough of shaking his Here he is 0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:03.760 when he got shot in at the Strip club, like 0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:09.960 then they'll watching sit and training the well and when 0:06:09.960 --> 0:06:12.200 I when I last stopped me, when you fading the 0:06:12.279 --> 0:06:15.719 last stopped me? Am I lying, I didn't, I didn't respond. 0:06:15.839 --> 0:06:18.880 I just my mouth was left wide open. But but 0:06:19.600 --> 0:06:22.000 I think the performance of what he did, that's because 0:06:22.520 --> 0:06:25.120 his brand, that's his signature. And I think it's fine 0:06:25.120 --> 0:06:27.719 to the girls. But the outfit, on the other hand, 0:06:27.880 --> 0:06:30.640 and I guess somebody saying that law Roach styled him. 0:06:30.760 --> 0:06:33.640 I didn't. I didn't like hurry boots with the it 0:06:34.240 --> 0:06:37.000 just know I didn't do it for me. So but overall, 0:06:37.200 --> 0:06:39.440 I want to talk. I loved to Rogie's outfit, so 0:06:39.520 --> 0:06:42.160 I can't believe you didn't like her. Well, i'd be no, no, no. 0:06:42.279 --> 0:06:45.160 There was only one dress that was not impressed by, 0:06:45.200 --> 0:06:46.760 and it was the black one with the cutouts in 0:06:46.760 --> 0:06:48.560 the front. It didn't flatter her body. It looked like 0:06:48.560 --> 0:06:52.200 a garbage bag on her. I disagree. I saw it. 0:06:52.200 --> 0:06:53.640 I thought it was so cute and the fact that 0:06:53.640 --> 0:06:56.560 she could still wear that at her age very impressive. 0:06:57.000 --> 0:06:59.920 I thought it was she shouldn't have because Mary came 0:07:00.000 --> 0:07:02.599 about to perform doing I'm Going Down, and I thought 0:07:02.600 --> 0:07:05.080 she was going down because, Baby, when I tell you 0:07:05.080 --> 0:07:07.080 them shoes must have been hurting enough. Feet may mayor 0:07:07.160 --> 0:07:09.640 hit on new shoes all night. The secret to being 0:07:09.640 --> 0:07:11.480 on stages you don't wear their shoes. They need to 0:07:11.480 --> 0:07:14.040 look new, but they need to be old because you'd 0:07:14.040 --> 0:07:18.160 be comfortable. M But I mean, I think overall, though, 0:07:18.600 --> 0:07:21.280 best part I would say of the show was actually, 0:07:21.280 --> 0:07:23.360 did these performance? I think did? He looked great the 0:07:23.400 --> 0:07:27.040 whole night with all his different outfit changes and his 0:07:27.200 --> 0:07:30.280 actual performance, and he did that tribute to Kim border 0:07:30.320 --> 0:07:33.760 of Child was cried. I thought it was beautiful. I 0:07:33.880 --> 0:07:36.160 thought that the tribute for I thought the tribute for 0:07:36.600 --> 0:07:40.320 Puffy was nice. But baby, can we talk about little Kim? 0:07:40.400 --> 0:07:43.160 Can we talk about when Little Kim cut cut that corn. 0:07:43.200 --> 0:07:46.680 Now I'm talking about my girl. Nope, I'm not talking 0:07:46.720 --> 0:07:53.080 bad about it. But that thing wid she wad did 0:07:53.120 --> 0:07:57.480 you see them hips? I've seen her in person and 0:07:57.560 --> 0:08:00.720 she's very built and stole looks really grate. Now. I 0:08:00.720 --> 0:08:02.320 know I did say that she didn't miss her Q 0:08:02.480 --> 0:08:04.400 though I saw that part that she didn't mr Q. 0:08:04.600 --> 0:08:08.400 But she looks great. I love little Kim, oh. I 0:08:08.440 --> 0:08:10.680 love Little Kim, but she was quite wild last night. 0:08:10.880 --> 0:08:13.280 And that outfit made that booty look like two saddle 0:08:13.320 --> 0:08:14.760 bags on the side. And I'm like, why did she 0:08:14.800 --> 0:08:17.000 get them? Why she carrying that water on the side 0:08:17.000 --> 0:08:21.960 of her hills? Why she was giving that water? Wait, 0:08:23.360 --> 0:08:27.960 I'm gonna need you to stop now, she is a 0:08:28.000 --> 0:08:30.800 wild old wars And they kept calling, and I love 0:08:30.840 --> 0:08:34.000 that some women like Jazz and Southern and Taragi started off. 0:08:34.000 --> 0:08:36.840 They spoke about the whole Row versus Way thing, because 0:08:37.080 --> 0:08:38.840 you know, they are women and they need to speak 0:08:38.920 --> 0:08:41.000 up about it. I need more men to speak up 0:08:41.040 --> 0:08:44.160 about the whole Row Versus Way and women's rights to 0:08:44.240 --> 0:08:47.199 their bodies, decisions for their bodies. I need more men 0:08:47.280 --> 0:08:49.640 to speak out publicly about that I think it will 0:08:49.679 --> 0:08:53.320 make a difference. I really do. Well. My I was 0:08:53.400 --> 0:08:56.959 Jenne sticking up the middle finger and saying screw the 0:08:57.000 --> 0:09:00.920 Supreme Court. That was a highlight. Did you see that part? 0:09:01.679 --> 0:09:08.600 I did? Okay, Yeah, she um loved, loved it, loved 0:09:08.640 --> 0:09:10.959 it to say the least. So another thing I want 0:09:11.000 --> 0:09:12.920 to say too about the BC words. I love the 0:09:12.960 --> 0:09:16.040 fact that they're really bringing mass attention to us correctly 0:09:16.080 --> 0:09:19.680 black colleges. I love that because it's it's really important 0:09:19.720 --> 0:09:22.280 to do and I think, especially in the climate that 0:09:22.320 --> 0:09:25.520 we're in today, it's so important too for us to 0:09:25.559 --> 0:09:27.920 understand the type of power that we have. Because let 0:09:28.000 --> 0:09:30.880 me tell you, if all of these black athletes start 0:09:30.920 --> 0:09:33.400 pulling out a p wise and going to like the 0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:37.440 Jackson States where Dion Sanders is for athletics, them school 0:09:37.520 --> 0:09:40.559 is gonna be no more so. Speaking speaking speaking of 0:09:40.679 --> 0:09:43.680 professional athletes, let's give a prayer out for Brindy Grinder. 0:09:44.040 --> 0:09:47.120 They gave her six more months before her next court 0:09:47.200 --> 0:09:51.680 day down there in uh in Russia. They just announced 0:09:51.679 --> 0:09:53.839 it right before we came on last So she was 0:09:53.880 --> 0:09:56.320 supposed to go to court Friday for hearing, but they 0:09:56.360 --> 0:09:59.920 gave her another six months. So hopefully, and that's the 0:10:00.120 --> 0:10:02.120 that's way too long, but hopefully that will be it 0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:04.360 because we don't want how if she's facing ten years, 0:10:04.440 --> 0:10:07.440 we don't want her to get the ten years. Well, 0:10:07.559 --> 0:10:10.600 I did see um an interview that was done. Um. 0:10:10.960 --> 0:10:14.360 We're basically from the United States fronts. There go the 0:10:14.400 --> 0:10:18.600 hostage negotiators basically involved now on the effort, but on 0:10:18.880 --> 0:10:20.600 you know, putin, and they're trying to make it seem 0:10:20.640 --> 0:10:22.280 like she's not a hostage. We're just treating her like 0:10:22.320 --> 0:10:25.720 a regular criminal. But that's not the situation. And remember 0:10:25.720 --> 0:10:28.320 I said that when this story first broke people, I 0:10:28.360 --> 0:10:30.600 remember people were like, oh, she shouldn't have done that, 0:10:30.640 --> 0:10:32.160 and they were coming after her, and I was like, 0:10:32.240 --> 0:10:35.600 this is way deeper than what it is. They're trying 0:10:35.640 --> 0:10:37.560 to use her for leverage in the United States. That's 0:10:37.559 --> 0:10:39.520 what this has always been about. I was one of 0:10:39.559 --> 0:10:41.319 those people because I was like, girl, why you didn't 0:10:41.360 --> 0:10:43.400 have those things? I was one of those people. But like, 0:10:43.480 --> 0:10:45.120 and I remember you broke it down and said, she 0:10:45.120 --> 0:10:47.240 went over there to make money. See here's the thing, 0:10:47.360 --> 0:10:51.280 United States. If you paid your female athletes, fair conversation 0:10:51.320 --> 0:10:53.640 what you pay your men athletes, then they wouldn't have 0:10:53.679 --> 0:10:56.160 to go over there half the damn year to make 0:10:56.280 --> 0:10:58.800 up for what they're not being paid. That's all. I'm 0:10:58.840 --> 0:11:01.360 that that none of the would have happened had we 0:11:01.440 --> 0:11:04.240 had charity in this country. But there we go right 0:11:04.240 --> 0:11:09.320 there in this country. Yeah, no, that's absolutely true. That true. 0:11:09.360 --> 0:11:12.040 So Um, I didn't see that because the last thing 0:11:12.040 --> 0:11:14.160 I saw was in her court date was her child 0:11:14.280 --> 0:11:17.280 was starting on Friday. So um, that's news to me 0:11:17.320 --> 0:11:19.400 that they're pushing in another six more months. They're really 0:11:19.400 --> 0:11:22.480 just trying to keep this girl in captivity, so um, 0:11:22.920 --> 0:11:25.440 and none of us know the situation that she's in. 0:11:25.559 --> 0:11:27.640 But when the other young man came from over there, 0:11:27.720 --> 0:11:29.760 who they had for a couple of years, he talked 0:11:29.800 --> 0:11:33.440 about how awful the situations were over there, the conditions 0:11:33.440 --> 0:11:35.440 and how they treated him and all of that. And 0:11:35.480 --> 0:11:37.760 I hope they're not doing that to this woman. I 0:11:37.800 --> 0:11:41.280 hope they're not doing that to this woman. Well, there's 0:11:41.320 --> 0:11:43.680 been some people that have and they have not been 0:11:45.320 --> 0:11:48.200 returned the same as when they left. So UM, I 0:11:48.240 --> 0:11:50.319 hope that she's okay. I know that she was supposed 0:11:50.360 --> 0:11:52.439 to have a scheduled phone call with her wife for 0:11:52.520 --> 0:11:55.040 the two year anniversary on that Saturday. It didn't happen. 0:11:56.120 --> 0:11:58.520 It didn't happen to the things that the the wife 0:11:58.520 --> 0:12:00.679 said the government. The wife said that the government dropped 0:12:00.679 --> 0:12:05.600 the ball. Yeah, so they're really messing with her and 0:12:05.640 --> 0:12:08.839 her wife, on her entire family at this point. So, um, 0:12:09.040 --> 0:12:12.120 I hope that just I have. I hope that she's 0:12:12.120 --> 0:12:14.320 okay for all beings to like I know, you can't 0:12:14.440 --> 0:12:17.120 do you know, wellness checks and things. I hope she's okay. 0:12:17.440 --> 0:12:20.280 So going if the fear now is that women are 0:12:20.280 --> 0:12:23.160 just not gonna be safe in this country because yesterday, 0:12:23.400 --> 0:12:26.200 because they've been having massive protests around the country of 0:12:26.240 --> 0:12:30.320 women just protesting about the ro versus way. So the 0:12:30.400 --> 0:12:35.560 actress uh sweet and Jody Sweeten who played on what 0:12:35.600 --> 0:12:40.760 was it called, Yeah, full House, they lap D actually 0:12:40.840 --> 0:12:43.600 pushed her in the streets, physically pushed her down in 0:12:43.640 --> 0:12:46.880 the streets. Well, the thing is she was actually trying 0:12:46.920 --> 0:12:50.040 to help people get off the freeway. That's actually what 0:12:50.040 --> 0:12:52.160 she's trying to do. And l A p D you know, 0:12:53.200 --> 0:12:58.720 basically assaulted her. So and she's a white woman, she 0:12:58.920 --> 0:13:01.079 wasn't She's the woman they pushed her there on the 0:13:01.160 --> 0:13:03.839 streets with the overturning of ro versus way. The white 0:13:03.880 --> 0:13:07.400 people are running amuck at this point. Um, they're basically saying, 0:13:07.400 --> 0:13:09.520 thank you, Donald Trump, we can finally just be the 0:13:09.520 --> 0:13:12.240 biggest that we are. And um, I don't know if 0:13:12.240 --> 0:13:15.360 you guys saw the tweet from Senator John Cornyn out 0:13:15.360 --> 0:13:18.840 of the state of Texas, where you know, Barack Obama 0:13:18.880 --> 0:13:21.800 put out a you know, a heavy statement about you know, 0:13:21.840 --> 0:13:25.360 the day when uh Rover Saluse Overton last Friday, and 0:13:25.440 --> 0:13:28.320 John Cornyn's response was, now do Plessy versus Ferguson and 0:13:28.320 --> 0:13:32.320 the brown versus Board of Education. So, um, the white 0:13:32.320 --> 0:13:36.120 men are going crazy the same the least they really are. Yeah, 0:13:36.160 --> 0:13:38.600 And what was the what was the lady's name from 0:13:38.640 --> 0:13:41.400 Illinois who said who thanked Donald Trump at the rally 0:13:41.440 --> 0:13:46.400 on Saturday for saving white lives? Oh? That was Representative 0:13:46.480 --> 0:13:49.680 Mary Miller. And then today, I don't know if you saw, 0:13:49.760 --> 0:13:53.920 but Sarah Huckabee Sanders, former Press secretary for the Trump administration, 0:13:53.960 --> 0:14:00.920 is Arkansas running for governor, and she said that abortion 0:14:00.960 --> 0:14:03.080 should be banned and we should be protecting our babies 0:14:03.120 --> 0:14:05.480 just like as much as we protect children in classrooms. 0:14:06.800 --> 0:14:12.160 I don't know that they don't protect you in any classrooms. Well, 0:14:12.200 --> 0:14:16.080 I think that's a lot of stupidity, just ignorance of 0:14:16.080 --> 0:14:19.640 it all. It's just, uh, white women and white men 0:14:19.760 --> 0:14:22.520 right now are really just using this opportunity to say 0:14:23.040 --> 0:14:25.120 thank you, Donald Trump. You know, we can finally just 0:14:25.160 --> 0:14:29.240 be like blatantly racist without consequence, and we can say 0:14:29.240 --> 0:14:31.200 all the things that we've been hiding for all these years. 0:14:31.840 --> 0:14:36.000 So here's the thing. If they want to because because 0:14:36.080 --> 0:14:38.720 I love that you explain that to me, Lauren, but 0:14:38.760 --> 0:14:41.920 if they want more white women to have white babies 0:14:41.960 --> 0:14:44.880 with white men, then do your white men get it? 0:14:44.960 --> 0:14:47.400 Become better athletes because I can put on a hockey 0:14:47.480 --> 0:14:48.960 jersey and you know it ain't but like two of 0:14:49.040 --> 0:14:52.000 us that play hockey, it's only two black folks only 0:14:52.000 --> 0:14:55.880 play hot rugby, soccer, tennis, basketball. You see a jersey, 0:14:55.920 --> 0:14:58.400 they open their ladies because they smell a contract. Y'all 0:14:58.480 --> 0:15:01.200 white athletes, y'all white male athletes, better get better at 0:15:01.200 --> 0:15:03.120 your game. That can't get bet at your game because 0:15:03.160 --> 0:15:05.360 your white male athletes want to become trains and swim 0:15:05.360 --> 0:15:07.960 against the women. I see it, it, I fucking see 0:15:08.000 --> 0:15:12.600 it it. Yeah, this is all about preserving the white race. 0:15:12.640 --> 0:15:16.040 And I saw like there was a big robust conversation 0:15:16.120 --> 0:15:20.040 under in your comments section when you posted the little 0:15:20.280 --> 0:15:23.320 review from they Ready, and you said, I forgot what 0:15:23.440 --> 0:15:27.560 that but really deep this back and forth in your 0:15:27.600 --> 0:15:32.080 comments about the premise by you know, Republicans really wanted 0:15:32.120 --> 0:15:35.160 to do this. So I think that, well, what I'll 0:15:35.200 --> 0:15:38.320 say is I encourage everybody to actually like do factual 0:15:38.400 --> 0:15:43.440 research and not munited research difference, and actually understand the 0:15:43.480 --> 0:15:48.880 meaning behind for the real intention of why um Republicans, 0:15:48.960 --> 0:15:52.280 especially like white racist Republicans wanted reversus way to be 0:15:52.320 --> 0:15:56.160 overturned badly. So and stock up on your plan bees 0:15:56.160 --> 0:15:58.680 because they try and get rid of a contraception. Now 0:15:58.680 --> 0:16:01.200 they're trying to get rid of birth control. And I 0:16:01.200 --> 0:16:04.320 also don't know too if you saw today, but abortion 0:16:04.400 --> 0:16:09.960 for lethal fetal anomalies is now illegal in Ohio. In 0:16:09.960 --> 0:16:14.480 Ohio because it went down immediately and like Nana ten 0:16:14.560 --> 0:16:17.360 states yesterday, I mean when they passed it, right, I want, 0:16:17.520 --> 0:16:22.720 abortion for lethal fetal anomalies is now illegal, like please 0:16:22.760 --> 0:16:27.040 hear me what I'm saying. So that means that basically, 0:16:27.080 --> 0:16:29.320 if you have a child and you run tests, because 0:16:29.320 --> 0:16:31.240 whenever you get pregnant. You know, you have tests that 0:16:31.240 --> 0:16:33.320 are run to make sure that there's no abnormalities, there's 0:16:33.360 --> 0:16:37.160 no you know, there's a down syndrome test. There's different 0:16:37.200 --> 0:16:39.640 tests that are run on these babies to make sure 0:16:39.680 --> 0:16:43.560 that they're okay. They're basically saying that at some um, 0:16:43.720 --> 0:16:47.040 some point soon it may look um like they may 0:16:47.120 --> 0:16:49.080 end up telling women, you know, that you have to 0:16:49.120 --> 0:16:52.680 carry babies to term that might end up being still 0:16:52.720 --> 0:16:56.320 born against your will because of these because of this 0:16:56.360 --> 0:16:59.080 new legislation that's come into play. That's what it says, 0:16:59.160 --> 0:17:02.040 lethal fetal and meaning that the child is life, is 0:17:02.040 --> 0:17:03.920 going to die throughout the pregnancy, and you're still gonna 0:17:03.920 --> 0:17:06.960 be forced to basically deliver stillborn. You know what my 0:17:07.040 --> 0:17:09.840 fear is long it's so many women when they get 0:17:09.840 --> 0:17:11.840 pregnant and they go to the doctors, and we trust 0:17:11.840 --> 0:17:14.920 our doctors without asking questions. So many women, so many 0:17:14.920 --> 0:17:18.399 people period don't ask questions. I asked questions about my 0:17:18.440 --> 0:17:20.560 body all the time to the doctors because if I 0:17:20.560 --> 0:17:22.520 don't feel like it's right, I'm still gonna adk. But 0:17:22.600 --> 0:17:25.520 I'm so afraid that we'll get racist doctors and they'll 0:17:25.560 --> 0:17:30.040 tell black and brown women oh, your child is mentally retarded, 0:17:30.160 --> 0:17:32.199 or your child is gonna be born with autism or 0:17:32.200 --> 0:17:35.040 down syndrome, to have them have abortions just so they 0:17:35.040 --> 0:17:39.400 weren't propriate when the key could be absolutely fine. I'm 0:17:39.440 --> 0:17:40.960 getting to a point where I don't want to trust 0:17:40.960 --> 0:17:44.760 nobody because you don't know who's racists. And Trump then 0:17:44.880 --> 0:17:46.880 released the roaches. They came out like when you turn 0:17:46.960 --> 0:17:49.160 on the kitchen light and the night in the kitchen, baby, 0:17:49.160 --> 0:17:51.560 they're just out. And I'm afraid of that. And they 0:17:51.640 --> 0:17:54.080 don't think that it couldn't happen. A doctor said, oh, 0:17:54.160 --> 0:17:56.159 your baby's like if you were pregnant long you have 0:17:56.520 --> 0:17:58.080 and you were founding and you might say you had 0:17:58.080 --> 0:18:02.000 a little complications like a double morning sickness or something. 0:18:02.040 --> 0:18:04.360 You went to the doctor just to see a regular check, 0:18:04.400 --> 0:18:06.240 and they said, oh, we think your baby is gonna 0:18:06.280 --> 0:18:09.480 be born mentally challenged or whatever. It'll make you be like, well, 0:18:09.480 --> 0:18:11.080 I don't want to have that kind of baby and 0:18:11.119 --> 0:18:14.080 possibly have an abortion, when all along the baby was 0:18:14.160 --> 0:18:16.280 just faying you were just having an extra morning sickness. 0:18:16.400 --> 0:18:19.879 You can see what I mean. I mean, I never 0:18:19.920 --> 0:18:22.919 I never thought of that, but um, that's why it's 0:18:22.960 --> 0:18:25.840 also important to have medical professionals actually look like you. 0:18:25.920 --> 0:18:28.199 And I've I've said this several times. All of my 0:18:28.280 --> 0:18:31.879 doctors are black women, period. All of my doctors are 0:18:31.920 --> 0:18:34.480 black women. They're all very respectable. They've all been referred 0:18:34.480 --> 0:18:36.359 to me because I have Black women in my family 0:18:36.400 --> 0:18:39.720 that are doctors, and I do checks and balances, and 0:18:39.720 --> 0:18:42.240 I get I'm very fortunate because everybody doesn't have the 0:18:42.240 --> 0:18:45.639 opportunity to do that. But that's also too why it's important, 0:18:45.720 --> 0:18:48.400 especially for us Black women, considering when it comes to pregnancy, 0:18:48.440 --> 0:18:52.520 we have the highest mortality rate than any other race. 0:18:53.560 --> 0:18:57.000 That we have to advocate for ourselves. But we can't. 0:18:57.000 --> 0:18:59.480 You you can't. You may not have adopted in your family, 0:18:59.480 --> 0:19:01.800 but you can still ask questions when it compertains to 0:19:01.840 --> 0:19:03.760 you and your body. And if you don't feel comfortable, 0:19:03.960 --> 0:19:06.520 well what the doctor tells you, go to another doctor, 0:19:06.560 --> 0:19:10.080 Go to another doctor, Go to another doctor. Yeah, and like, 0:19:10.200 --> 0:19:13.280 and it's important for us black women especially to have 0:19:13.800 --> 0:19:16.080 doctors that look like us. Like when I tell you, 0:19:16.119 --> 0:19:18.520 everybody in my network, my O, B, G, Y N, 0:19:18.960 --> 0:19:23.800 my regular doctor, my dermatologist, everybody is black Black women 0:19:24.000 --> 0:19:31.520 dealing with period well, here's the thing, everybody that's black 0:19:31.560 --> 0:19:33.639 and skin folk game kin folk. If you don't believe it, 0:19:33.840 --> 0:19:39.800 Clarence Thomas, that niggaw did you see today that his 0:19:39.840 --> 0:19:42.720 wife is being subpoena for the January six Committee hearing. 0:19:44.440 --> 0:19:46.520 She don't do number like the rest of them did. 0:19:48.080 --> 0:19:49.800 But they can try and do that, but they're gonna 0:19:49.800 --> 0:19:53.240 get in trouble that happen around this. No do. I 0:19:53.280 --> 0:19:58.800 think this took way too long. But I'm curious to see, 0:19:59.359 --> 0:20:03.000 um what her testimony is because she was having a 0:20:03.000 --> 0:20:08.240 communication with John Easton through text messages. Yeah, they have 0:20:08.280 --> 0:20:10.520 the text message, but Lauren, even though they have the 0:20:10.560 --> 0:20:13.879 text messages from her phone, her name and everything, they 0:20:14.000 --> 0:20:16.160 keep just pushing it up under the road. They keep 0:20:16.320 --> 0:20:18.640 they keep backpassing like it's nothing, like we don't see 0:20:18.640 --> 0:20:21.439 what's happening. Y'all show it to us and then act like, oh, 0:20:21.480 --> 0:20:23.480 I showed it to you, but forget you. Sorry, I'm 0:20:23.480 --> 0:20:25.680 not gonna forget what you showed me. If I get 0:20:25.840 --> 0:20:27.719 off inadible, I might forget for a minute, but then 0:20:27.760 --> 0:20:32.400 I'm gonna remember eventually. Well, I'm gonna say this too, 0:20:32.800 --> 0:20:37.240 um in relation to that, because in some ways most 0:20:37.240 --> 0:20:38.960 a lot of this is going to boil down to 0:20:39.040 --> 0:20:43.280 Joe Biden, and I think that his response this weekend 0:20:43.320 --> 0:20:45.920 to what's happened with the overturning of Roll versus Way 0:20:46.280 --> 0:20:48.760 is his approval rating is gonna go down even further, 0:20:49.359 --> 0:20:52.679 considering he has no of expanding the Supreme Court and 0:20:52.720 --> 0:20:55.280 he basically has just accepted what has happened. He's doing 0:20:55.320 --> 0:20:58.520 nothing about it. Um, if it comes down to the 0:20:58.560 --> 0:21:01.919 fact that they'm actually charging and dieting Trump, uh, he 0:21:02.000 --> 0:21:04.680 bet not pardon him or anybody in that orbit. That's 0:21:04.720 --> 0:21:07.720 all I'm gonna say, because at this point he can't 0:21:07.800 --> 0:21:12.359 run for reelection. He can't. That is That is the 0:21:12.400 --> 0:21:14.320 only thing I am waiting on. I am waiting for 0:21:14.359 --> 0:21:16.960 them to slap some charges on Trump so we can 0:21:16.960 --> 0:21:19.600 be reassured that he will not be allowed to run 0:21:19.760 --> 0:21:22.680 or hold public office ever. Again, That's all I'm waiting. 0:21:22.680 --> 0:21:27.280 Now they drag their feet on it either. Joe Biden 0:21:27.280 --> 0:21:34.159 won't be able to either at this point, not willing 0:21:34.200 --> 0:21:41.520 to do anything, not do anything about this treacherous, abominable 0:21:41.680 --> 0:21:47.120 overturning a vote versus Wade. It's a wrapper him. They 0:21:47.119 --> 0:21:49.399 will wait on that too, And I spoke out about 0:21:49.440 --> 0:21:52.000 this when they first dropped this. Now, just at my transistance, 0:21:52.040 --> 0:21:53.879 we need to stand up, We need to stand with 0:21:53.960 --> 0:21:57.200 women on this because once they remove this one, it's 0:21:57.200 --> 0:22:02.600 gonna be easy to remove gay marriage, marriage equality, uh, 0:22:02.800 --> 0:22:07.520 inter racial marriage, sh segregation, schools, everything. They just made 0:22:07.520 --> 0:22:14.320 it easy. If they just made it easy. Yeah, honestly, Um, 0:22:14.359 --> 0:22:17.400 I'm just I don't know where we go from here. 0:22:18.080 --> 0:22:22.280 I really hope that no, I'll say this, I've watched 0:22:22.280 --> 0:22:25.840 the news this morning too. I'm hoping, and this may 0:22:25.880 --> 0:22:30.040 be wishful thinking that based on the Supreme Court doing 0:22:30.080 --> 0:22:33.320 this at this point and the Republicans backing and a 0:22:33.359 --> 0:22:36.720 lot of them are, I hope that it entices people 0:22:36.720 --> 0:22:38.240 really take it out and vote and we almost have 0:22:38.280 --> 0:22:42.200 a reverse effect. And for elections, That's what I'm really hoping, 0:22:42.200 --> 0:22:44.800
