Speaker 1: the eighteen, and Flame, you kept telling the whole time, Nick,
Speaker 1: because we joke about it, like hey, we we we
Speaker 1: want to be in the same space. We talked about this,
Speaker 1: right but f him, you said, you said last month,
Speaker 1: keep an eye on that. Let's let's kind of hold
Speaker 1: off on that for now. Well, the numbers are crazy here,
Speaker 1: and my issue is not with all this mean along.
Speaker 1: We're just talking about this, this whole suggestive that you
Speaker 1: don't fly. We suggest that you don't fly when you
Speaker 1: stay home these Americans you cannot tell I said this before.
Speaker 1: We do not like to be told what to do.
Speaker 1: You have to be one way or the other. The
Speaker 1: governors of each they should have shut down the airports
Speaker 1: if they were their numbers were astronomical. I'm not blaming
Speaker 1: Newsom for people making doing They're making their own decisions.
Speaker 1: But if you had to shut down the airport, a
Speaker 1: lot of options would have been taken away because don't
Speaker 1: nobody want to drive from here all the way to Florida.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying so they would. We would have saved
Speaker 1: some people, and according to the statistics, by the end
Speaker 1: of January this month, a whole lot of other people
Speaker 1: will be caught up and in a place that they
Speaker 1: shouldn't have been, or they would did not have to
Speaker 1: be in if they have set their ass down and
Speaker 1: stayed at home. We talk, you're talking about the lockdown.
Speaker 1: You know, the UK has decided they are locking down
Speaker 1: until the middle of February. That came down today from
Speaker 1: Boris Johnson. But you know you're talking about what we're
Speaker 1: doing here. Remember what your president said this week. So
Speaker 1: you know, my president retired four years ago. I don't
Speaker 1: have a president until January. I think I'm supposed to
Speaker 1: have a president by then. But we were talking about
Speaker 1: those COVID death numbers. Remember how he call those, uh
Speaker 1: fake news. Yeah. Yeah, here's the hypocrisy of the fake
Speaker 1: news and the fake COVID death numbers. Some of the
Speaker 1: people that passed away, may you rest in peace. I
Speaker 1: bet you some of your family members voted for this nigga,
Speaker 1: not once, but twice, and you are the collateral damage
Speaker 1: behind voting for him of somebody who not too who
Speaker 1: did not take control of this this virus. So prayers
Speaker 1: to you your family members. Just look, go look at
Speaker 1: yourself in the mirror. If you voted for Donald Trump
Speaker 1: twice and when your family members there from the COVID
Speaker 1: and he called it a hoax, go look, go to
Speaker 1: the nearest mirror, and the first person you see slap
Speaker 1: the ship out of I got that person, dog. No,
Speaker 1: we were just talking about that. I just want to
Speaker 1: make sure people know that we're talking about specifically. Anybody
Speaker 1: missed it. Those remarks came from President Trump just as
Speaker 1: the number of COVID nineteen deaths in the United States
Speaker 1: past three hundred fifty thousand, and this is according to
Speaker 1: information compiled by JOHNS. Hopkins, who has been charting this. Uh,
Speaker 1: the university has been charting this from the very beginning.
Speaker 1: Can I good question? Is everything COVID death? Now there's
Speaker 1: no more car accidents and your hysms heart attacks. Uh
Speaker 1: remember because now every time somebody dies, everything is COVID, COVID, COVID.
Speaker 1: Everything is just not COVID. I think that's just what's
Speaker 1: being reported on. Oh yeah, yeah, that's the that's what's
Speaker 1: hot right now in the news. So that's what we're
Speaker 1: gonna hear about before we jump to our topics. So
Speaker 1: I'm you would want to sound off on a couple
Speaker 1: of things. You want to talk about the Georgia Center
Speaker 1: runoff election, and you're talking about Mitch McConnell and Nancy Pelosi.
Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi and Mr McConnell's houses were both vandalized this weekend.
Speaker 1: I believe that Nancy Pelosi's was This is my conspiracy theory.
Speaker 1: So to my disclaimer, you can agree with me if
Speaker 1: you want you if you don't want to, I'm giving them. Uh.
Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi's house was targeted by probably some people who
Speaker 1: don't care for her. Miss McConnell's I think was just
Speaker 1: deployed to throw us off to think that they only
Speaker 1: did it to Nancy, so we would only think that
Speaker 1: they only did it to Nancy Pelosi. This is my theory.
Speaker 1: How y'all think, what y'all want to think? And what
Speaker 1: else did you ask me about all? Georgia. Let me
Speaker 1: tell you something, Georgia, y'all need to show up tomorrow
Speaker 1: if you don't need nothing else. I have said over
Speaker 1: these the course of this year or these eight nine months,
Speaker 1: if you haven't got the proof in the putting this weekend,
Speaker 1: with these audio tapes that have been released that he
Speaker 1: spoke to you guys, Secretary State. What's his name? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I can't say the name, the nickname, Burger, Hamburger, Cheese, Burger, cat, Burglar,
Speaker 1: I don't know ship anything. I love I love him
Speaker 1: because this is what he did. What because Niklas love
Speaker 1: to get on me about me not trusting Fauci. So
Speaker 1: let me give you the synopsis. It's not that I
Speaker 1: don't think that Dr Fauci is accredited doctor, but when
Speaker 1: you had the opportunity in real time to speak to
Speaker 1: help save these three hundred and fifty five thousand American
Speaker 1: laughs and counting that have died, you should have. This
Speaker 1: was the only one who stood up in his face
Speaker 1: and say, hey, he's completely Republican. He completed, does not
Speaker 1: go for the Democrats, but he wanted to be fair,
Speaker 1: so in Trump's face, he turned around and put the
Speaker 1: ship and say, this is what I'm saying. So all
Speaker 1: the books that you want to write Bolton and Michael
Speaker 1: Cohen after the fact, don't tell me nothing after fact.
Speaker 1: Don't tell me Lord is coming to shoot me tip
Speaker 1: minutes after she shot me. Tell me before or why
Speaker 1: I'm in the middle, because it shows that you care
Speaker 1: about the American people and not just about the money.
Speaker 1: So hats off to a chiefs Burger, Hamburger. Yeah, and Georgia.
Speaker 1: Y'all heard the audios tape. Don't don't believe your ass,
Speaker 1: but believe your ears. What you heard. He was begging
Speaker 1: like Keith Sweat, trying to get some snatch. I'm telling you, now,
Speaker 1: get your answers up in Land tomorrow and go because
Speaker 1: y'all partying in Atlanta. If you got time to party,
Speaker 1: we gotta get these So these seats. Heads off to
Speaker 1: John Osap and Warneck because John Osft been out like
Speaker 1: a monster really campaign and really campaign, and he's a
Speaker 1: handsome white boy. I was looking at it. Oh my god.
Speaker 1: He woke up some feelings in me. I didn't know
Speaker 1: I had. Bibs said, feelings are rakening me. I hardly recognize.
Speaker 1: Come on, soft, Georgia. Not only is the country looking
Speaker 1: at you and and and and wanting you to step
Speaker 1: and step out, We're relying on you. We really have
Speaker 1: all our eggs in one basket for Georgia for tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Please Georgia show up. Let's get these syndencies so we
Speaker 1: can get Ms McConnell moved. Kamala Harris, the new Vice
Speaker 1: president can make all the final decisions that you know.
Speaker 1: She tame us, so let's do it. Yeah. I will
Speaker 1: say though that some of my friends that are in
Speaker 1: Atlanta are saying they would be very surprised if we
Speaker 1: lost both of these seats, which makes me very helpful,
Speaker 1: very hopeful. Um, so tomorrow will definitely well. I don't
Speaker 1: think that's gonna be decided by tomorrow, but throughout the
Speaker 1: week we'll see how this plays out. But I am
Speaker 1: hopeful because that's the feedback I'm getting. So these are
Speaker 1: friends of yours who have been on the ground before
Speaker 1: the general election, so they've been keeping an eye on
Speaker 1: things and been involved in the process from the beginning. Correct, yes, correct,
Speaker 1: and one of um my big brothers I like to
Speaker 1: call him. I do work with him. Um He's also
Speaker 1: a part of Stacey Abrams camp and is actually gonna
Speaker 1: be one of the poll workers tomorrow to really do
Speaker 1: his due diligence to make sure everything is done, um
Speaker 1: correctly around this. So that's who I'm getting some of
Speaker 1: my infro from. So I'm excited to see what happens.
Speaker 1: I'm hopeful. Shout out to Stacy Abram, Shout out to Common,
Speaker 1: Shout out to Andrew Yang, to everyone who is in
Speaker 1: Georgia who's on the battlefield, names that I don't know,
Speaker 1: And I'm talking not just to the people that we
Speaker 1: do know. I'm talking to like some of our listeners
Speaker 1: Hannah Vesper, people in Georgia who have given us information.
Speaker 1: Hats off. You guys were pushing it, pushing it, pushing it. Okay,
Speaker 1: Nick's kick off our first topic, because hey guys, let's
Speaker 1: get it going. We were talking about kind of keeping
Speaker 1: on that theme of how we as a community really
Speaker 1: just need to do as much as we can to empower.
Speaker 1: We were talking about life insurance. Flame. We were talking
Speaker 1: about how life insurance is a must and it's a
Speaker 1: it can be an uncomfortable topic for some people, but
Speaker 1: we said we needed to bring this up for laugh
Speaker 1: and learn. Yeah. So, I mean we kind of had
Speaker 1: a brief discussion about this yesterday and I told you know, Nick,
Speaker 1: you and Flame, I said, I don't have life insurance,
Speaker 1: but partly because you know, I'm still living with my
Speaker 1: parents at this point in time for personal reasons, and um,
Speaker 1: you guys are both like, well, you're at home, you
Speaker 1: don't need life insurance. Um. But just kind of looking
Speaker 1: through some things and you know, kind of getting you
Speaker 1: guys is feedback. I realized that this is something very
Speaker 1: important that we all need to have. You know, some
Speaker 1: people don't think that I don't want to pay for this.
Speaker 1: I don't want to do that, but in the long run,
Speaker 1: it's really just to protect yourself. So, UM, I'm doing
Speaker 1: my research. You know. Kind of you guys kind of
Speaker 1: sparked a light bulb for me. I'm doing some of
Speaker 1: my research and seeing what my options are. UM. And
Speaker 1: I saw some of the data that you provided Nick,
Speaker 1: and you said in two thousand three, virtually ninety seven
Speaker 1: of the population purchase term life insurance. Correct, Yeah, absolutely,
Speaker 1: and basically learned that just came down to for those
Speaker 1: who don't know, they're really like two basic types of insurance.
Speaker 1: And there was a time when the hurdle to have
Speaker 1: life insurance was onerous, right, people couldn't afford to. You
Speaker 1: were just trying to make it the best way that
Speaker 1: you could. But life insurance really has become affordable because
Speaker 1: the marketplace has expanded, much like how Senator Pelosi has
Speaker 1: talked about the need to expand the the space for
Speaker 1: health insurance and Medicare and medicaid and all of those things.
Speaker 1: So life insurance is affordable for people. And the reason
Speaker 1: you want to do at is because Flame and I
Speaker 1: talked about personally how we have had friends of ours
Speaker 1: who are now in our age group and some older,
Speaker 1: some younger who have died, and um, you don't want
Speaker 1: to have a situation where your family has to pass
Speaker 1: the hat trying to collect money. And the days Flame
Speaker 1: was talking about two nick more than that, the days
Speaker 1: of the go fund me, Nick that's dead. You know,
Speaker 1: if folks aren't working, they can't do go fund me.
Speaker 1: So for as little as and and again we encourage
Speaker 1: everybody do your own research. But for as little as
Speaker 1: twelve bucks a month, you can have life insurance that
Speaker 1: allows you to have a decent burial where you are
Speaker 1: not leaving the responsibility of having a respectful service, and
Speaker 1: you put away on your family members who may or
Speaker 1: may not be able to afford it, or may or
Speaker 1: may not be able to carry out your wishes. Okay,
Speaker 1: and my biggest thing, first of all, Miss Marshall, we
Speaker 1: see you comment about we got life insurance on you,
Speaker 1: so thanks, mom, appreciated. Thanks. Insurances in important because you
Speaker 1: know I'm saying I'm saying this from a transgender perspective.
Speaker 1: So many of the queens we we will go get
Speaker 1: our hair done, we'll get our makeup done, we'll get
Speaker 1: costumes made, and but we won't you know. And then
Speaker 1: when when somebody dies, we want to do a benefit show,
Speaker 1: we want to raise money here, and then it's always
Speaker 1: the discrepancy of the Listen to me, the funeral home
Speaker 1: didn't get the money, or this person took the money
Speaker 1: ran off and with it. This is covering your own behind.
Speaker 1: So if it's only a ten thousand dollar policy that
Speaker 1: you can afford. Get that, because what you don't want
Speaker 1: to do is burden the family or whoever is in
Speaker 1: your life to try to put you away. Now, my family,
Speaker 1: I don't want to hear them talk ship. See this
Speaker 1: is this is a personal Let me just give it
Speaker 1: to y'all in the raw. I don't want to be
Speaker 1: laying in there like you know. I ain't had no money.
Speaker 1: I don't know why you didn't take it is you're
Speaker 1: going into my savings. You I had to spend my money.
Speaker 1: I can't get my beano money, my my mama. I
Speaker 1: can't go to Bengo. I raised up from the dead
Speaker 1: and say look at here, old lady, you need to
Speaker 1: knock it all shady pas, my shady pans. She just say, nigger,
Speaker 1: you already in a pan box. Not at all. But
Speaker 1: it's very important. And we three or four queens, and
Speaker 1: with the unsurety of the COVID virus, people are dying
Speaker 1: like this now. They say every ten minutes we lose
Speaker 1: the depth to COVID virus. It's very important. And they
Speaker 1: used to give you a lot of a brick wall.
Speaker 1: I'm getting a life insurance. You had to take all
Speaker 1: these blood tests, and it's not even like that anymore.
Speaker 1: Now you can just pick up a phone and set
Speaker 1: it up and do automatic bill pay. If you get
Speaker 1: a month once a month check or if you get
Speaker 1: paid by weekly or salary haven't automatically taken out that way,
Speaker 1: you can't miss what you never got, but you'll know
Speaker 1: that you're covered. And when you do whole life, it
Speaker 1: usually takes two years before it goes into effect for
Speaker 1: you to get the all of the money. So do
Speaker 1: it now, down Flame, that's whole life. I'm glad you
Speaker 1: mentioned whole life. The cheapest and least expensive one. Uh.
Speaker 1: That is least of a burden for people, or less
Speaker 1: of a burden for something I think would be term
Speaker 1: life insurance. And that level term means that the death
Speaker 1: benefits stays the same throughout the duration of the policy.
Speaker 1: So if you get a ten thousand dollar policy, and
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you anywhere you guys, you can be
Speaker 1: buried for uh, for ten thousand bucks a nice decent sir.
Speaker 1: You may not get the mausoleum and the and the
Speaker 1: heart with the you know, you know how we used
Speaker 1: to do was it hoped back in Chicago, Flame, which
Speaker 1: was the one where they put you in the glass
Speaker 1: video screen and everything there and people. That's gatlands on
Speaker 1: a hundred and third and you see how new Exactly
Speaker 1: what you're talking about, baby was a drive through. Baby,
Speaker 1: you know that should just not doing draft through funerals
Speaker 1: again because the COVID you came a lot of people.
Speaker 1: We should, baby, drive back, could you? Hey, baby, let
Speaker 1: me tell you. If I'm driving back and the person
Speaker 1: then sunk up and way back, baby, I'm running into
Speaker 1: everything in front of me. Ridiculous. But you can do
Speaker 1: that for a little bit twelve bucks a month and
Speaker 1: and and that covers it, and that is good, uh
Speaker 1: for thirty years. So there you go. It's just that simple.
Speaker 1: Just please please look into it. You'all mutual of omaha.
Speaker 1: You can do it online. You ain't got to leave
Speaker 1: your home. It really does help you and your loved ones.
Speaker 1: And it's not like you're trying to leave people a
Speaker 1: whole great deal of money. You just want to make
Speaker 1: sure that people put you away safely and make it
Speaker 1: they'll feel better about themselves. I'm with you, niggas. Sometimes
Speaker 1: you don't even need the headstone. And the way people
Speaker 1: are dying now, it ain't gonna be in the room
Speaker 1: for here. So yeah, exactly, I ain't gonna be another
Speaker 1: room for here. Someone. I'm gonna have two heir stones
Speaker 1: like this one. Somebody on the front, somebody on the back.
Speaker 1: So we took two people in the casket. Uh, I
Speaker 1: want to I want to go ahead, and I want
Speaker 1: to go ahead and move to our next one, so
Speaker 1: that when you all opened up for the flame message
Speaker 1: and sound off on both of these, because flame, this
Speaker 1: tied directly into the topic you were most passionate about
Speaker 1: this week, which was colorectal health. And we had to
Speaker 1: educate my baby here at my guys, did you did?
Speaker 1: But see, that's why we call this laugh and learn,
Speaker 1: and this is why we have our own discussions before
Speaker 1: coming on here, because we are actually kind of learning
Speaker 1: things ourselves, well at least I am. So when we
Speaker 1: talked about colorectal health, initially, I really thought that this
Speaker 1: was something mainly for men. I really did. I didn't.
Speaker 1: I didn't know that it was something that both men
Speaker 1: and women did equally, um, because you know, I always
Speaker 1: like men, and my family always went and got colonoscopes
Speaker 1: and that sort of thing. I mean, my mother alone
Speaker 1: My mother has never gotten a colin oscarpy before, so
Speaker 1: it wasn't I didn't know, um, but you know, doing
Speaker 1: some research that sort of thing, I realized that it's
Speaker 1: very important, not just in men, especially black men, but
Speaker 1: also black women. UM. Interestingly enough, I had an aunt
Speaker 1: who passed away a couple of years ago from colon cancer.
Speaker 1: She didn't have to she didn't want to talk about
Speaker 1: it or tell anybody, but she did. She's it's something
Speaker 1: she passed away from. So uh. I think that we
Speaker 1: should probably lower the age requirement of when we should
Speaker 1: go get checked because I think it's fifty correct, Nick,
Speaker 1: it is was recommended for black men specifically. Yes, I
Speaker 1: think that's a little too too late. I think we
Speaker 1: should be doing it earlier. I think forty would probably
Speaker 1: be a better age. Um, similar to when women have
Speaker 1: to get mammograms. I think that would probably be better. Um.
Speaker 1: But it's something very important and we just have to
Speaker 1: make sure that we check ourselves and make sure that
Speaker 1: we're okay. We really do. Yeah, and Nick, you had
Speaker 1: you had a call as a couple of them, huh
Speaker 1: and Nick, I have uh and again laugh and learn
Speaker 1: we're talking. We talked about this because you and I
Speaker 1: had this conversation. UM. I have been proactive in my
Speaker 1: health for years because I come from a family of
Speaker 1: heavy comorbidities UM, A family of high blood pressure, of
Speaker 1: family of diabetes, a family where we add insalt before
Speaker 1: we even tasted the food. So those became my habits
Speaker 1: until I learned more. Right, UM, I have been testing
Speaker 1: and doing colonoscopy since I was forty UM, and that's
Speaker 1: because of the high risk factors that I walk into
Speaker 1: it with. UH. So yes, I am a I'm an
Speaker 1: advocate of UH doing the whole process and just just
Speaker 1: being proactive. But it can be intimidating for men, and
Speaker 1: it can be intimidating, I think even more so for
Speaker 1: members of my community, specifically black men, who may not
Speaker 1: have always gone to a doctor regularly. So this entire
Speaker 1: process becomes so foreign. And you and I talked about
Speaker 1: this in flame. I know you're gonna talk more about this,
Speaker 1: but bedside manner matters, and I think that sometimes people
Speaker 1: don't know how to UH demand that demand requests expect
Speaker 1: that their doctor or the person UH being as in
Speaker 1: vain as one can possibly be to your person in
Speaker 1: your space, be somebody you're comfortable with. But if they're
Speaker 1: being very clinical with Mr Parker moved here, Mr Parker
Speaker 1: moved there, and you're like, whoa can you? Can you?
Speaker 1: I don't know that I need you, know dinner, but
Speaker 1: I need you to at least, you know, talk nice
Speaker 1: to me. I want to give you my ass. Hold
Speaker 1: on play a hold on, slow down man. So that's well,
Speaker 1: thank you Nicholas for sharing that, because that that's the truth.
Speaker 1: But a lot of times, like I said before, people, um,
Speaker 1: you don't have to demand respect, you command respect. People
Speaker 1: treat you the way they see you treat yourself. Even
Speaker 1: if you're in the hospital. They see how who comes
Speaker 1: to visit you, what type of people those are? They
Speaker 1: see how you speak with the nurses, whether you polite.
Speaker 1: First of all, I ain't gonna be rude with you
Speaker 1: if I'm sucking together in hospital, because I don't know
Speaker 1: what you're putting up in this. I vy you have
Speaker 1: me a broken out here with taking the vaccine. Y'all
Speaker 1: know I ain't taking that ship any who. Secondly, I
Speaker 1: was very against having a colonoscopy. I was afraid I
Speaker 1: had heard the horror stories. So my to ask me
Speaker 1: at forty five to take one. I put it off
Speaker 1: for ten years. I just had my first one in November,
Speaker 1: the third this year. I was I talked about it
Speaker 1: on on coffee time before we got this show on
Speaker 1: every day, and I talked about the process. It was
Speaker 1: not bad at all. It was It was not bad
Speaker 1: at all. Yeah, it isn't trusive. And if you're a
Speaker 1: man and you're in tune with your body, you know
Speaker 1: who you're all. Woman, you have to be comfortable with
Speaker 1: who you are if you follow the rules. The worst
Speaker 1: part about the thing was not the taste of the medicine,
Speaker 1: cause I got a new medicine to little Brown bottics.
Speaker 1: It's not even bad. It's just being in the restroom
Speaker 1: for a very long time. But they also tell you
Speaker 1: that if you don't get it right the first time,
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to do it again. So don't eat.
Speaker 1: Get it right the first time. You can go hungry
Speaker 1: for a day. Good guys, some of y'all, y'all, some
Speaker 1: of your mother's can missing me over here there. I'm
Speaker 1: just saying, but you know, once you get in the
Speaker 1: and I went to Mount SINAI no, when I go
Speaker 1: I went to see the sign out and then it
Speaker 1: was a very distressful morning because I didn't want to
Speaker 1: do it. I was completely against it. I couldn't find
Speaker 1: the bait called see the sign that has twenty buildings,
Speaker 1: so I didn't know where I was on. I called
Speaker 1: NICKI and the frieze. I said, you know what I'm
Speaker 1: not doing. I'm going home. Nick say, calm down. This
Speaker 1: is the first time he was calm told me to
Speaker 1: calm down. He picked up the phone, he made a
Speaker 1: phone call. He called me back and gave me the
Speaker 1: exact address. Now, I want to tell you that I
Speaker 1: was too ignorant, say because I had asked the hospital
Speaker 1: where you going? They want to check your booty. But
Speaker 1: Nicholas called and said, we need to know where the
Speaker 1: endoscopy clinic is. I'm like, what is the endoscopy? But
Speaker 1: it calmed me down. I went. The procedure was smooth
Speaker 1: and great. I didn't even know what was done. When
Speaker 1: it was done, the doctor was very nice. The proper
Speaker 1: vall was worth it. If you asked me why did
Speaker 1: Michael Jackson down from propovol, then you've never fing had propovole.
Speaker 1: Because when I tell you that the proper vol will
Speaker 1: take you on a rad that the gummies can't touch.
Speaker 1: Good God, it's it's it's it's a good uh anesthetic
Speaker 1: to have. I will I will say that I've had
Speaker 1: it twice in my life and I had some great sleep.
Speaker 1: It's the best sleep. And you think you've been sleep
Speaker 1: at ten twelve fifty, now you've been sleeping like twenty minutes. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's amazing. It's amazing personal experience. The first time I
Speaker 1: had proball, I had a procedure on my mouth, I
Speaker 1: had my teeth extracted that we're impacted, and I woke
Speaker 1: up to my dear old mother hitting me because Michael
Speaker 1: Jackson had just passed away from this, so she was
Speaker 1: very nervous. Um. But anyway, I kind of want to
Speaker 1: circle backfield because I think that a good takeaway from
Speaker 1: this is too is that you know, black folks really
Speaker 1: need to advocate for our health. You know, Nick, you
Speaker 1: mentioned you know, poking and prodding and you know, not
Speaker 1: actually having proper bedside manner um. I think that's kind
Speaker 1: of like a history of something that we've had to
Speaker 1: deal with always and that you know, we've had these
Speaker 1: like stereotypes label to us that we can endure higher
Speaker 1: tolerance of pain and these sort of things. So I
Speaker 1: think that a serious message that we can take take
Speaker 1: away here is please advocate for your health. You know,
Speaker 1: don't allow a doctor to tell you like, oh, you're
Speaker 1: gonna be fine when you know something's wrong with you.
Speaker 1: It's important to take your health seriously. And it's always
Speaker 1: important that you actually go and see a doctor because
Speaker 1: maybe they'll be able to tell you something that you
Speaker 1: don't know or that you're not even feeling. So please
Speaker 1: advocate for your health, because we all want to make
Speaker 1: sure that we're here for a long time exactly. And
Speaker 1: and Lauren just touch based on that. The reason we're
Speaker 1: pushed anga Uh, colon oscary. There are some famous people
Speaker 1: that we all know who have died because of colon
Speaker 1: cancer or had colon cancer. Among them, of course we
Speaker 1: all know Chadwick Boseman, we talked about, Darryl Strawberry, Uh,
Speaker 1: Charles M. Schultz, Audrey Hepburn, Ronald Reagan, Vince Lombardi, Elizabeth Montgomery,
Speaker 1: and of course Ruth Bader Ginsburgh. So it knows no race,
Speaker 1: no Asian demographic. It is a killer. One of the
Speaker 1: things I wanted to talk about too, just because we're
Speaker 1: on that and I just push it because you know,
Speaker 1: I try to run and everything in the morning when
Speaker 1: I can, but I'm still addicted to that bread Aman Church.
Speaker 1: Colorectal cancer rates are higher in African Americans. This is
Speaker 1: just a statistic from cancer dot Org. So I want
Speaker 1: everybody to know, Uh, this is where we source this information,
Speaker 1: and it's rising in younger people. They don't necessarily know why,
Speaker 1: but this is the reason why we're talking about it
Speaker 1: on this platform, because we want family members to encourage
Speaker 1: other family members. I know, the black men sometimes we
Speaker 1: can be uncomfortable going to a doctor that maybe isn't
Speaker 1: a black male, or I have male friends who are
Speaker 1: comfortable with female doctors. I've had female doctors. I've had
Speaker 1: male doctors. If you pass med school and I'm comfortable
Speaker 1: with you and I can have a conversa issue that
Speaker 1: is open, that is honest, Uh, that is completely transparent,
Speaker 1: We're good to go. But I interview my doctors just
Speaker 1: like I know they interviewed me, and they said, they're like,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know if I want to deal
Speaker 1: with this way. He talks a bit much. I get
Speaker 1: all of that. The last thing I want to throw
Speaker 1: out there is there's a new app called jet Doc
Speaker 1: that I learned about today being promoted by Rick Ross.
Speaker 1: Ross shared his own personal health story today, Um, and
Speaker 1: I was just it was it was. He talked about
Speaker 1: the weight loss and his love of the wrong foods
Speaker 1: and why he wanted to encourage other black men and women,
Speaker 1: but black men in particularly because we're the group that
Speaker 1: tends to be the most affected by not really following
Speaker 1: through with our health. Women, for the most part, will
Speaker 1: at least be somewhat proactive in their health, much more
Speaker 1: so than man. So it was it was this call
Speaker 1: to reach out to brothers. And I believe the app
Speaker 1: is like twenty bucks, but it also allows you to
Speaker 1: find a doctor and all that stuff that works for you. Okay, well,
Speaker 1: thank you, Nicky and nick Nay opened up the door, y'all.
Speaker 1: We and now we even open up the floodgates for
Speaker 1: y'all coming. We're gonna come back to you, nick Alright.
Speaker 1: I'm so proud of Rick Ross for doing that because
Speaker 1: I think that Kevin Hart, to me, Kevin Hart and
Speaker 1: Timmany had had a big hand and opening and so
Speaker 1: many other celebrities that go unknown. I love when they
Speaker 1: help other people, give other artists an opportunity because then
Speaker 1: people just keep paying it for. We're paying for paying
Speaker 1: for Yeah, so good job for Rick Rick. Rick Ross
Speaker 1: had a heart attack on the plane, right. He had
Speaker 1: a couple of health scares that were really detrimental to him.
Speaker 1: So I actually saw what Nick was talking about. I
Speaker 1: think about two weeks ago, Rick Ross was on our
Speaker 1: Melbourne show on MSNBC with his other investor and they
Speaker 1: were just talking about how they really just wanted to
Speaker 1: provide access to care and you know, access to affordable
Speaker 1: health care. So um, yeah, definitely shout out to them,
Speaker 1: thank you for just helping that. And I just want
Speaker 1: to personally thank you Rick Ross for doing that. And
Speaker 1: started wearing a T shirt because you was killing me
Speaker 1: with no T shirt with that old stommaing. But you
Speaker 1: got the new stomming, but that old one. Don't do that.
Speaker 1: Don't don't do that like that. He's got how many
Speaker 1: baby mamas and kids now? So you know, uncle used
Speaker 1: to attractive Michael A g n F. Y'all know that
Speaker 1: stands for p A g n F Old schools. Gonna
Speaker 1: know what that means? You're too young? Yeah, I was,
Speaker 1: what does that mean? Pussy ain't got no face. Okay,
Speaker 1: what's the next subject? Baby? That's the old player in yall.
Speaker 1: Y'all know this, laugh and learn. I'm teaching. I'm teaching
Speaker 1: and teaching. Well, let's bring a couple of flame metsine
Speaker 1: and see what they bring. Somebody or bring bring Hannah
Speaker 1: And because Hannah isn't actually d M this morning. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Hannah is in Georgia. She's in Atlanta. She's on the ground. Baby,
Speaker 1: Hannah keeps us going, what's going on? Yes? Hello, mask? Okay, Hannah,
Speaker 1: you on the down right there in Atlanta. What y'all
Speaker 1: doing after hearing this audio tape? Y'all? Really, y'all should
Speaker 1: really be coming together after listen to this fool's audio
Speaker 1: tape and heats off to y'all, Secretary of State there burger, cheeseburger, Hamburger. Well,
Speaker 1: not only just Georgia, but the country as a whole.
Speaker 1: We all should be questioning what's really going on, not
Speaker 1: just Georgia, but the country, the country as a whole
Speaker 1: the next go round for our elections, especially in Kentucky. Kentucky,
Speaker 1: y'all needs to get it together. George is not the
Speaker 1: only state that needs to get out to the polls.
Speaker 1: All the polls and y'all hold all the cars right
Speaker 1: now though, because everything is writing on tomorrow right now
Speaker 1: in Georgia. Yes it is, Yes, it is. You are
Speaker 1: so right. The only thing, um is that we have
Speaker 1: to get a lot of the transplants to realize you
Speaker 1: do matter. Your vote matter. Everybody's telling Georgia to vote,
Speaker 1: but you're not being specific. We have a lot of
Speaker 1: males that are not voting. I work with a lot
Speaker 1: of men that do not vote, not planning to vote,
Speaker 1: not thinking about voting. Uh, yesterday I dropped off some
Speaker 1: items to my mom. There you you actually see people
Speaker 1: going from door to door to get people to vote.
Speaker 1: They have a lot of volunteers out on the ground.
Speaker 1: Uh that's asking uh people to come out to vote. Also,
Speaker 1: I've been inundated by email, text, phone calls about us
Speaker 1: getting out to vote. But you will be be surprised
Speaker 1: of a large group of our black men that will
Speaker 1: not vote. Do you know why are they saying why
Speaker 1: they don't want to go out and vote. Many many
Speaker 1: don't believe in the system. They believe they don't believe
Speaker 1: in that the system will help them. Many don't believe
Speaker 1: that they've vote matter many believe in conspiracy theories. Um.
Speaker 1: I mean, right now, with the eleven thousand, seven hundred
Speaker 1: eighty votes that somebody wants to negotiate about, that's not right,
Speaker 1: that's illegal. But you know, most people, they just don't
Speaker 1: think that they matter. Um. And a lot of the
Speaker 1: transplants from other states have been redlined or pushed out
Speaker 1: of their home and most people won't be honest about that.
Speaker 1: They won't be honest that you can't get a job
Speaker 1: in certain states, you can't find housing in certain states.
Speaker 1: But they're rather talk about other things, but they won't
Speaker 1: talk about what's going on in their home state and
Speaker 1: what's sad about it. Many of them come from blue states.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna flip all these states blue like my glasses.
Speaker 1: They're getting my nerve. Hey, Hannah, you stay safe down there.
Speaker 1: And we're gonna be watching these posts tomorrow. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: be watching because I know it's gonna be a nail biter.
Speaker 1: And I love what Laurence said and that you're saying
Speaker 1: that the people that are out there voting, that it
Speaker 1: looks like we're gonna get these seats. But I need
Speaker 1: us as black people or people in the state of Georgia.
Speaker 1: Not to rely on that, because you remember, we thought
Speaker 1: Hillary was a shooting four years ago and three days
Speaker 1: before they threw a monkey wrench in the game playing
Speaker 1: comy and you lost your job to this nigga bay
Speaker 1: uh and we and Hillary lost. Now, Hillary didn't lose
Speaker 1: because we didn't like a Hillary lost because white folks
Speaker 1: didn't like Let's be honest, because like, yeah, but then
Speaker 1: they see the boomerang of life is Trump got the
Speaker 1: same ship back in his face because he thought he
Speaker 1: was going to win, and he was close. But three
Speaker 1: days and four days before they dropped that vaccine. That's
Speaker 1: you know, some of y'all are taking not me, but
Speaker 1: some of y'all are taking that vaccine. But now he
Speaker 1: will go again. Not ain't release the tape. Hats off
Speaker 1: to Burger for telling it. Because the nigga needed eleven thousand,
Speaker 1: seven hundred and ninety nine votes to win. He asked
Speaker 1: for eleven thousand, eight hundred. You're not going to get him.
Speaker 1: Nigga in every language, Slovekian with your wife is boomerang Budapest, China.
Speaker 1: You lost your favorite words. Nigga is you're fired. Look
Speaker 1: in the mirror and tell the first nigga you see
Speaker 1: you're fired. This is flaming bro, thank you having I

Speaker 1: We all watching Georgian baby Georgia. And if you're gonna
Speaker 1: get in the lift, why I keep doing that to
Speaker 1: the light. Okay, if you're gonna get in the lift,
Speaker 1: get you some lights off. Spread the asses, I spray everybody, baby,
Speaker 1: spread everybody where. We're gonna we're gonna get vesper girl.
Speaker 1: You know I can't see those words. Yes, y'all, get
Speaker 1: y'all asses out there and vote, vote, vote, vote vote,
Speaker 1: because I'm telling you, Georgia, we need you. Hell don't
Speaker 1: look like John Osoft. Let me tell you something, John
Speaker 1: Osoft is fine, he could get it. I stay in
Speaker 1: drag almost the whole time and everything, but eventually we're
Speaker 1: gonna slat off. I'm just letting you know. I gotta
Speaker 1: be comfortable. Ship. Your mind is in the gut of today.
Speaker 1: And it's a new year, same thing, a new year
Speaker 1: in Georgia. Look, the voter suppression is real. And the
Speaker 1: thing about it is they make it look so natural,
Speaker 1: like it's normal that people don't really think about it.
Speaker 1: But when I went like I had my mail in
Speaker 1: ballot and as I was about to seal it, I
Speaker 1: was like, realized I didn't put the actual ballot into
Speaker 1: the envelope. I was like, oh, ship tore it open,
Speaker 1: and it tore just a little edge on. So I
Speaker 1: put my ballot in there, sealed it. It looked good,
Speaker 1: but I didn't even want to like chance it that
Speaker 1: they would, you know, not take it. So I went
Speaker 1: up to the polls this weekend or right before the
Speaker 1: New year, and um, there was a long line, um,
Speaker 1: and you could tell who the Trump supporters were because
Speaker 1: they weren't wearing masks even you know, and they weren't
Speaker 1: social distancing. Everybody else was like good ten feet away
Speaker 1: from those people. Everybody else was keeping good six ft apart,
Speaker 1: but the tension was there. There was no parking. They
Speaker 1: purposely chose a location that was small with very little parking,
Speaker 1: blocked off half of the parking. And um, people were
Speaker 1: just crazy in the parking lot. Um, and they were
Speaker 1: all giving me mean looks and you know, cussing at me.
Speaker 1: I just nordom as I was walking up to the
Speaker 1: ballot and just dropping it into the dropbox. Um. And
Speaker 1: as soon as I dropped it in a drop box,
Speaker 1: they were all like, oh, okay, you know, but I mean,
Speaker 1: tensions are high. There's very few voting locations. There's very few,
Speaker 1: there's very little parking. And the thing about it is,
Speaker 1: I'm trying to remind people that this is what voter
Speaker 1: suppression looks like. Okay, they want to make it as
Speaker 1: difficult as possible so that when you show up, you
Speaker 1: don't want to vote because you rather just not deal
Speaker 1: with it. And the thing is, we have to deal
Speaker 1: with it because this is everything is writing on Georgia
Speaker 1: right now. Every the whole country, and not even the
Speaker 1: whole country, the whole world is kind of watching Georgia
Speaker 1: right now because this will determine the fate of not
Speaker 1: only the future of our nation, but the future of
Speaker 1: the world. Because if we have a Senate that is
Speaker 1: controlled by the Democrats, we will pass um some type
Speaker 1: of climate change legislation and that will affect the world.
Speaker 1: So it's so important that we all get out here
Speaker 1: and vote, and so important that you don't let anything
Speaker 1: discourage you from doing your part and doing your God
Speaker 1: give him right to vote is my resident white boy,
Speaker 1: black boy. But that's my white chocolate y'all vest. But
Speaker 1: you gave me that with conviction. I felt that all
Speaker 1: in my spirit. Baby cut through my breast and plans
Speaker 1: good God. I mean I was feeling it too. I
Speaker 1: was so upset when I saw that. And I'm like,
Speaker 1: y'all don't realize. This is what voter suppression is. It's
Speaker 1: not like it was in the sixties. It's you know,
Speaker 1: they have to do it in a more coverts. The
Speaker 1: scariest part of all that best is we are on
Speaker 1: the power to keg about to explode. I believe that,
Speaker 1: and this fuel is igniting it and igniting it. Here's
Speaker 1: the thing. We can't even really fall Trump anymore. We
Speaker 1: can't because we know because he keeps showing who he is,
Speaker 1: the powers that's over him. The Congress is sending in
Speaker 1: both strip this nigg of power. Well remove him out
Speaker 1: of this position. I don't care that we get what
Speaker 1: sep four team more days, sixteen more days, remove him
Speaker 1: now the detriment that what are you gonna do? Commit
Speaker 1: all these crimes publicly and then pardon himself. So we're
Speaker 1: gonna let this nigga do this and then tell usself,
Speaker 1: nig you get to get out of jail free card.
Speaker 1: This ain't monopoly. Well, I mean, I will say, I
Speaker 1: don't know if if I totally agree with that plame
Speaker 1: because I think, especially now that you're seeing all of
Speaker 1: these like senators coming out and supporting, for instance, not
Speaker 1: certifying the election for Biden come January six to, it
Speaker 1: really makes me think that Trump really just has stuff
Speaker 1: on all of these different senators, and that's why we're
Speaker 1: seeing them flip. We saw instances with Lindsay Graham, so
Speaker 1: we're it's we're in a very interesting time, to say
Speaker 1: the least. Um, So yeah, I don't I don't know
Speaker 1: if it's that simple great point, may great point. May
Speaker 1: let me say this best, but thank you, my don
Speaker 1: We're gonna hit you than you see. Donald Trump probably
Speaker 1: does have dirt on all of these politicians because here
Speaker 1: it is, he was never a politician, this nigga still
Speaker 1: ain't a politician, but he did business with them for
Speaker 1: so many years before he decided to throw his head
Speaker 1: in the politician reign. So he did business with the Democrats,
Speaker 1: the Republicans, these people. So I got all, y'all, I
Speaker 1: know where the bodies is buried, I know where the
Speaker 1: count is hid, and I know this and that. So
Speaker 1: there everybody is afraid to throw him up under the bus.
Speaker 1: If they have not done business with him, they are
Speaker 1: not like Kamala Harrison and lives a bit warm people
Speaker 1: like that. But if you've done business with him before politics, expecially,
Speaker 1: then they got holding something up. You're right, he's holding
Speaker 1: something over there here, because somebody should have been the
Speaker 1: smashed him with with that, with what they know about
Speaker 1: him exactly if this was a normal democracy, if we
Speaker 1: were actually living in a democracy, I think those would
Speaker 1: be the circumstances. But it's just not. I think Lindsay
Speaker 1: Graham is probably the biggest example of that of just
Speaker 1: one time Trump's racist, He's all this. In the next
Speaker 1: moment he's supported. Well, he ain't bad self because that
Speaker 1: terr crews Texas, y'all should be shamed. Yallself got that
Speaker 1: nick in office, This nick. Let me tell you something
Speaker 1: about a man. Let me let me educate you on,
Speaker 1: let me let me change his voice to me hold on,
Speaker 1: let me let me let me give it to you
Speaker 1: right any who, A man is a heart. A man
Speaker 1: has a heart and a sense of responsibility like no
Speaker 1: it else. Because a woman is more um, what's the
Speaker 1: word loyal? Women? Way more loyal. I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna bothize the offense. I know, but the man
Speaker 1: got a heart tear Crews. You allowed this man to
Speaker 1: tell you in your face that your wife was ugly.
Speaker 1: He disrespected you, Michael Rubio. He told he threw your
Speaker 1: father under the bus y'all were going against him. And
Speaker 1: now you allowed this man to come in between your marriage,
Speaker 1: ted Crews. And you're standing up for this fool who
Speaker 1: disrespected the woman that you got on your knees and said,
Speaker 1: for better or for worse, for she should have divorced you.
Speaker 1: And I we knew you was batshit crazy when you
Speaker 1: got on the Senate floor to speak for twenty four
Speaker 1: hours telling something green eggs and ham, I am, I
Speaker 1: am nigga. The eggs are green and the ham is brown.
Speaker 1: That ship ain't no good. But if the disrespected Loyd,
Speaker 1: don't you ever As long as I know you, you
Speaker 1: know I ain't gonna allow it to ever. Let him man,
Speaker 1: let somebody, just your husband disrespect you like that. Not
Speaker 1: this nigger got the lay in the bed next to you.
Speaker 1: That nigga should have been afraid. He should have been
Speaker 1: real afraid. Oh there ran my blood pressure come back, Flane,
Speaker 1: come back, bring me back along and bring me back
Speaker 1: and bring me back. Hannah talked about the expense in
Speaker 1: housing and why people move there because they've been redlined,
Speaker 1: and she's right, So many of those states are blue states.
Speaker 1: Just looking at the quick list, New York, Rhode Island,
Speaker 1: New Jersey, California, Massachusetts. These states have the highest cost
Speaker 1: of housing. So then people moved to a place that
Speaker 1: they think is less expensive, um, and then they don't
Speaker 1: partake in the voting process, and that can just be
Speaker 1: frustrating all the way around. So Hannah's absolutely right. People
Speaker 1: need to get out there and vote, and one can
Speaker 1: go to Georgia voter guide dot com and there's a
Speaker 1: full list of different places that will take you to
Speaker 1: the polls if you need to ride. For different levels
Speaker 1: of ability and disability. Nicholas hold On weigh in on
Speaker 1: that last subject about all of the whole the voter
Speaker 1: suppression that Vesper was talking about, because I know you
Speaker 1: know about that because you're down and you in the South,
Speaker 1: but but that's not unique to the South. This is
Speaker 1: exactly what fair fight dot org has been about with
Speaker 1: Stacy Abrahams. Regardless of where you live, the whole idea
Speaker 1: behind voter suppression initially was, you know what, we're going
Speaker 1: to create a barrier that blacks will have to be
Speaker 1: able to read this and they need to add this
Speaker 1: before they can vote. Jim Crow change that. Now we
Speaker 1: move forward and there are new ways that they we marginalize.
Speaker 1: Florida voters said, you know what, we want people who
Speaker 1: have been convicted of a felony to have the right
Speaker 1: to vote. The court comes in and says, oh, but
Speaker 1: they need to pay their fines first, so again another barrier.
Speaker 1: All of these are barriers to voting. What they've done
Speaker 1: in Georgia, what they do in other places, this redistricting,
Speaker 1: this gerrymandering, all of that is part of voter suppression
Speaker 1: because what we want to do is want to divide,
Speaker 1: is split up districts so that Lauren and I can
Speaker 1: live across the street from each other, but we both
Speaker 1: can't vote for the same representative to try and get
Speaker 1: things that affect our neighborhood. As a whole. The idea
Speaker 1: behind voter suppression in Georgia specifically, I've heard people right
Speaker 1: and talk about is simply the runoff system Georgia decided
Speaker 1: to some time ago you know what, Atlanta is a
Speaker 1: little bit dark. We can't control Atlanta, but we got
Speaker 1: the rest of the state. So what we'll do is
Speaker 1: we'll create a situation where we have a runoff. The
Speaker 1: likelihood of two candidates being in the runoff who are
Speaker 1: African American are slim to none. This way, if one
Speaker 1: of our people who are of a lighter hue is
Speaker 1: running against an African American, chances are one of them
Speaker 1: will be in the runoff. If that white person is
Speaker 1: in the runoff against an African American. The idea is
Speaker 1: those who sat back and say, oh, I don't need
Speaker 1: to worry about it, because maybe I liked either one
Speaker 1: of these two white Can it is who split the vote? Now?
Speaker 1: Oh my god, there's no choice here. I can't I
Speaker 1: can't vote for this black guy. The problem with us
Speaker 1: off for some is that he's Jewish, right, running in
Speaker 1: the South, running in Georgia. For the most part. I
Speaker 1: will tell you, though, flame you know, we keep talking
Speaker 1: about the South. Atlanta doesn't really consider itself the South.
Speaker 1: It considers itself a city that happens to be in Georgia.
Speaker 1: I think most who live in Atlanta would argue they're
Speaker 1: more progressive than you all in California. I think at
Speaker 1: Lantin's tend to put themselves um from It's been my
Speaker 1: experience that Atlanta's tend to um have delusion, not delusions
Speaker 1: of grandeur, but they definitely do not consider themselves Southerners.
Speaker 1: They cause you're you're right, You're you're right about that, Nick,
Speaker 1: I will say, because you know, I did live in
Speaker 1: Atlanta for four years. And what's what's said is that
Speaker 1: there's Atlanta and then there's the rest of Georgia. That
Speaker 1: is definitely something that said. And I do wanted to
Speaker 1: add to what you just said to because part of
Speaker 1: the voter suppression, too is also gentle cation, and that's
Speaker 1: directly talied into housing, because you know, we gentrify colored
Speaker 1: folks out of these areas and all of a sudden
Speaker 1: they don't have anywhere to go. If you know, if
Speaker 1: you don't have an actual address or a house of
Speaker 1: where you're residing, you don't get a ballot, you can't
Speaker 1: register to vote. So that's also part of the And Lauren,
Speaker 1: that's everywhere, that's d C, that's San Francisco, that's l A.
Speaker 1: There are neighborhoods where people what we were talking about
Speaker 1: the wrong side of the ten flame. If you're on
Speaker 1: the wrong side of the ten you know you in
Speaker 1: the hood, right, or that was the idea. I live
Speaker 1: in Long Beach. I don't know what you're talking about.
Speaker 1: Believe it or not. There was a time though there
Speaker 1: were parts of Long Beach they were considered hood right.
Speaker 1: So no, actually where I live in Long Beach? Now? Uh,
Speaker 1: In the seventies and sixties they used to have actually
Speaker 1: klu Klux Land marches that, yes, but there are there
Speaker 1: are all some some um ghetto areas of Long Beach.
Speaker 1: I'm saying, I don't know that. Let me but they
Speaker 1: got the best department, So let me just say that.
Speaker 1: Any who. I hear you, Nicholas, I hear Lauren. I'm
Speaker 1: talking about this, y'all talk about this voter suppression Georgia.
Speaker 1: I'm talking to y'all right now, Atlanta, whatever wherever they have,
Speaker 1: the whole state of Georgia be inconvenience for one day
Speaker 1: being baby. From what I see, they said to me
Speaker 1: and won't go vote ship Magic City down and some
Speaker 1: of them got the p Valley on the trip clubs
Speaker 1: down for a day. Them niggas go vote. Set them
Speaker 1: down for a day, because whatever it takes, by any
Speaker 1: means necessary. This is how Donald Trump almost won by
Speaker 1: any means necessary. He adopted Malcolm X's philosophy and he
Speaker 1: took it to heart. We always love to speak it,
Speaker 1: but we got to walk it. We got to do
Speaker 1: this by any Some of y'all got them together. I'm
Speaker 1: stimilar to check. You got money to get to a lift,
Speaker 1: to get to the voting post. You got your stimula today.
Speaker 1: Some of y'all got a searity. I got man last
Speaker 1: week three hundred. I was happy. Yeah, y'all got your stimula.
Speaker 1: Used that stimila and go vote. I'm telling you now, Georgia,
Speaker 1: we can't. We can't do this again. And then you
Speaker 1: they're cheating right in our faces and you can't look
Speaker 1: me in my eyes and I see you and hear
Speaker 1: you and tell me that you were one thing. And
Speaker 1: I'm looking at you and hear what you really are.
Speaker 1: I ain't that dumb. Some of y'all gonna have to
Speaker 1: pick at you. You can't be dumb and stupid. Some
Speaker 1: of your Republicans, let me just say, some of your
Speaker 1: ch supporters got both of them. You can't be dumb.
Speaker 1: And stupid. You gotta pick up one. Well I do,
Speaker 1: I hope wait a thing I do want to say
Speaker 1: those shout out to strippers in Georgia because they did
Speaker 1: create an entire campaign and they encouraged quite a few
Speaker 1: people to go out and vote. Shout out to all
Speaker 1: the strippers in Atlanta. Thank you for doing your completely agree.
Speaker 1: We will actually talk about another city going through a
Speaker 1: change right now. Chicago. Uh, Chicago, Chicago. I think Chicago
Speaker 1: is a perfect example of how one can be an
Speaker 1: industrial city and reinvent itself right because there was a
Speaker 1: time when I think that there are those who would
Speaker 1: argue and I please jump in flamets. Detroit and Chicago
Speaker 1: were really the same city. Detroit was a living city
Speaker 1: in the fifties sixties. People wanted to be in Detroit.
Speaker 1: People raising great middle class families, middle class homes, people
Speaker 1: were able to African Americans were able to go and
Speaker 1: buy and they worked at Ford or they worked at GM.
Speaker 1: They had great schools. Then when the industry changed, Detroit
Speaker 1: didn't change with the times. Chicago found a way to
Speaker 1: reinvent itself. In that reinvention, we now have an African
Speaker 1: American mayor who seems to be getting some of the
Speaker 1: same pressures that white mayors have gotten before her flying
Speaker 1: and you know, I'm gonna speak about so y'all, first
Speaker 1: of all, tell you something about Chicago. We're talking about
Speaker 1: Mayor Lory Lightfoot, who completely annihilated Tony PreK in the
Speaker 1: in the in the in the runoff. She beat her
Speaker 1: in her own district. This is how bad she beat her.
Speaker 1: So that goes to say that Chicago y'all really wanted
Speaker 1: Lory Lightfoot to be mayor. Here's my problem with it.
Speaker 1: So Lory Lightfood did tell a lie. We ain't gonna say.
Speaker 1: She sugar coated the truth and she smoothed over. She
Speaker 1: lied and said that she didn't know about the young
Speaker 1: lady talked about two weeks ago. Yeah, that the police
Speaker 1: came in her house and kept her neckd But such
Speaker 1: a long time. But she had just gotten into the
Speaker 1: job that this happened two years ago. This happened like
Speaker 1: the first month or so that Lori Lifer was in
Speaker 1: the job. So it wasn't like she had gotten used
Speaker 1: to be in the mayor. You get you a job,
Speaker 1: you hit a new job. You still it's a learning process.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean, and I'm saying in my way.
Speaker 1: I ain't speaking all technical and high booksh it. This
Speaker 1: is not the way I talk any who. So she
Speaker 1: was fresh in the job. But as black people, we
Speaker 1: are ready. We are protesting and trying to strip this
Speaker 1: woman off her job. We seeing as a people to
Speaker 1: forgive white ugliness before we forgive black ugliness. And I
Speaker 1: got a problem with that because they are protesting trying
Speaker 1: to remove that her. You ain't never made a mistake
Speaker 1: at your job and ask for a second chance. No,
Speaker 1: here's the thing. Nobody died. I understand the humiliation of
Speaker 1: this woman and the Frost station, but nobody died. We're
Speaker 1: so quick to attack us. It shows how we treat
Speaker 1: each other. It's how they treat us. So we keep
Speaker 1: attacking us so that that they feel like it's okay
Speaker 1: for them to attack us, because that's what we're showing them. Again,
Speaker 1: you don't have to demand respect, you commanded. People treat
Speaker 1: you the way they see you, treat you goddamn self.
Speaker 1: And I'm tam Lorie Lightfoot. Apologize for the mistake. You
Speaker 1: may say, yep, I made a mistake. I was fresh
Speaker 1: and new or whatever, and keep it pushing. I'm tam
Speaker 1: Lorie Lightfood. I like hers. She's a star brow too.
Speaker 1: If you need a boyfriend or a girlfriend called me.
Speaker 1: It's also important to mention to Lorie Lightfoot took responsibility
Speaker 1: right where she stepped up, and she has owned it.
Speaker 1: She has owned not being more proactive. She has owned
Speaker 1: needing to apologize to Miss Jeanette's I forget her last name.
Speaker 1: I want to. I want to give this young respect.
Speaker 1: She's she's and she has met with her uh to
Speaker 1: own it. So she didn't try to duck and dodge.
Speaker 1: So yeah, definitely, no, Yeah, I definitely think that there's
Speaker 1: a there's a double standard here for sure. But at
Speaker 1: the same time, you know, we I think she does
Speaker 1: deserve a second chance. However, but the narrative always is
Speaker 1: as a person of color, you're supposed to look out
Speaker 1: for your folks, and I think that's probably what people
Speaker 1: are having trouble a hard time swallowing at this point,
Speaker 1: is that not only you know, was this somebody black,
Speaker 1: but she was also a woman and she was humiliated
Speaker 1: in the worst way, thank you, so, But I'm saying
Speaker 1: that what happens on Jeanette Young, she's black, she's a woman,
Speaker 1: and she was really really humiliated in the worst kind
Speaker 1: of way. So I think because of the circumstances, it's
Speaker 1: adding more fuel to the fire. And that's why I
Speaker 1: think uh mayor Lightfoot's receiving more backlash. But to you know,
Speaker 1: your point, Nick and your point Flame, that she deserves
Speaker 1: the second chance. She came out, she apologized, she recognized
Speaker 1: the wrongdoing, and it's just like, learned from your mistakes,
Speaker 1: don't do it again. But there's always going to be
Speaker 1: that double standard because we are always taught that we
Speaker 1: have to be ten times better at everything that we do,
Speaker 1: so when we make a mistake, we're going to be
Speaker 1: ridiculed more for it. So you know, learn from it.
Speaker 1: And let's just you know, the last African American woman
Speaker 1: to help somebody out of Chicago who did get backlash
Speaker 1: was miss Fox who shifted the removed prosecuting justice small
Speaker 1: at Remember that was Chicago also, So there are times
Speaker 1: when when they do look out we look out for
Speaker 1: and we do hold their feet to the fire. It's
Speaker 1: not it's not correct. This is not one of those tams.
Speaker 1: And I think they're handling this. I think they're handling
Speaker 1: this completely incorrect. And I'm telling you that as a people,
Speaker 1: we got to start for giving each other a little
Speaker 1: bit more. So they'll start for giving us a little
Speaker 1: bit more because we still don't hold the cards. You know,
Speaker 1: sometimes you don't want to admit to And I loved
Speaker 1: that all these young entrepreneurs and all these young men
Speaker 1: and young women of power and money are branching out
Speaker 1: and starting their own record labels and businesses. Who but
Speaker 1: we're still playing in their sandbox, real talk. And they
Speaker 1: proved it to us November the third, and that's trying
Speaker 1: to prove it to us. Now. That's why we need
Speaker 1: you to get in bup that we're playing in their sandbox. No,
Speaker 1: this is our own corner of the sandbox, because first
Speaker 1: of all, I was over in that sandbox over in
Speaker 1: Africa when with you dancing at the Grascart, you shouldn't
Speaker 1: have brought your airs over there with those pop as
Speaker 1: chicken sungers and teased bitch, you know, I'm easy for
Speaker 1: a piece of chicken. And you know what, But that's
Speaker 1: I would almost argue that this sandbox is as much
Speaker 1: ours as it is there's, if not more so, because
Speaker 1: I do believe we built because we feel I just
Speaker 1: feel that, I just feel as though we have to
Speaker 1: collectively say, you know what, if these are the rules
Speaker 1: we're all going to play by, or we're gonna tear
Speaker 1: up the rule book and and move forward, closing out
Speaker 1: on Lorrie life. But I just want to say, and
Speaker 1: then you guys, wait, wait, wait, wait, nick, La, I'm
Speaker 1: going to say into that though too. We always talk
Speaker 1: about how we have to create our own table, and
Speaker 1: we have to have a seat at this table. Once
Speaker 1: we get a seat, two people, don't be so quick
Speaker 1: to remove us from it just because you get a
Speaker 1: little offended. You know, allow us to have the time
Speaker 1: to figure it out and you know, and actually sit
Speaker 1: in said seats so we can affect, you know, proper change.
Speaker 1: And wait, Nick, before you say anything, thank you, Lauren.
Speaker 1: Lor Lyfefoot is openly gay, understand, And in Chicago. I'm
Speaker 1: from Chicago, baby, You've got to be tough in them
Speaker 1: streets of Chicago because you know, do you know what
Speaker 1: kind of backlash she is getting in corporate America where
Speaker 1: she works, or around gay gay the word even in
Speaker 1: some outside of our black community, people look at it.
Speaker 1: And really, people as much as you guys are open
Speaker 1: here on this page and receive me from what I
Speaker 1: am and who I am because I'm comfortable with me.
Speaker 1: A lot of people are still comfortable and sell. But
Speaker 1: she's the mayor of the city of Chicago. It's very
Speaker 1: Chicago is a very conservative city. It's what you don't know, y'all.
Speaker 1: Just hear about the crime and ship Chicago is super concerned.
Speaker 1: I can only imagine the names that she has been
Speaker 1: called loud enough to hear in the same space to
Speaker 1: put her. And she is a woman, whatever she identifies as.
Speaker 1: She because she dressed like Uncle Willie from San Franson,
Speaker 1: but she is a woman. She still has a woman's
Speaker 1: hard mind and soul. I'm sure they have broke her
Speaker 1: a couple of times where she had to break down
Speaker 1: to her partner, and nobody is taking that consideration. Y'all
Speaker 1: need to stop being so goddamn me and she the
Speaker 1: letty made it damn mistake. I'm gonna make a couple
Speaker 1: of before the show is over today, and I'm asking
Speaker 1: for forgiveness that Gloria Wilmer, we see you. Gloria Wilmer
Speaker 1: just said, truth be known, we engineer her civilizations. Gloria
Speaker 1: Wilmer one of the flame mats. They're sounding off. We
Speaker 1: just love that the altamen of color just got a
Speaker 1: note Bobby sh Murder could get out of prison. You know,
Speaker 1: you guys. We love that you guys continue to sound
Speaker 1: off while we're having this conversation, because this is all
Speaker 1: part of the conversation, different things that we're learning. Hannah Vesper,
Speaker 1: who both just jumped in and shared information with us.
Speaker 1: Lory Lyffoot, I just want to leave everybody with this
Speaker 1: note to let everybody know that we're not bashing her.
Speaker 1: We're just trying to call out what it is that
Speaker 1: we're seeing it there on the ground. Lory Lightfoot did
Speaker 1: mayor Lightfoot excuse me, uh did note that the police
Speaker 1: department has made changes to a search warrant policy uh
Speaker 1: since January, and that she has directed a review of
Speaker 1: how this matter was handled. That is a direct so
Speaker 1: she knows. Okay, this January four, if you mean for
Speaker 1: three days free, all right, We're gonna bring you out
Speaker 1: and we bring you back here. We want to get
Speaker 1: some weight on it because we got Jessic's in Chicago, honey,
Speaker 1: and I'm teeing Lory Lightfoot, miss justin h tell me
Speaker 1: who you voted for because I ain't like that only
Speaker 1: break Winkle. Let me just say, I ain't suit Hi,
Speaker 1: how are you you in Chicago? What you think about me?
Speaker 1: A lory Lightfoot? Okay? To be fair. When they wanted
Speaker 1: to release the video, one of the city mayors, I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: not the city mayor. One of the lawyers of the
Speaker 1: City of Chicago asked the judge not to release it.
Speaker 1: He has since resigned. I can't recall his name off
Speaker 1: the bat because I had it written down, but he resigned,
Speaker 1: so and uh, Mayor Lightfoot except that his recosignation. Also,
Speaker 1: don't forget because everybody's pointing a finger at their Lightfoot,
Speaker 1: which I am Team Lightfoot. I don't expect it to
Speaker 1: be a saint. I'm not a saint. I expected to
Speaker 1: do a good job, period. Man. Woman doesn't matter to me.
Speaker 1: Do your job, that's what That's what I expect from
Speaker 1: you when I support you to your job. Um. Also, um,
Speaker 1: Superintendent Eddie Johnson, everybody's forgetting who the superintendent was. He
Speaker 1: had that happened in the beginning of the year at
Speaker 1: and all kinds of loop the loops happened with him.
Speaker 1: He ended up resigning after that mine drew. When when
Speaker 1: I believe Lakwen McDonald was shot seven or seven sex sixteen,
Speaker 1: I know somebody else was. Unfortunately, I know there's more
Speaker 1: than one victim that was shot multiple times. So I
Speaker 1: apologize that I didn't get that correct. Um So. Also,
Speaker 1: the superintendent before Eddie Johnson was thrown under the bus
Speaker 1: by Robbie Manuel, he resigned. So we've had problems with
Speaker 1: the mayors and the superintendent of the police not being
Speaker 1: on the staying. Do you think that do you think
Speaker 1: that they should remove Lory life? Do you think they
Speaker 1: should give a second chance. No, they shouldn't remove her
Speaker 1: because she's been trying to get at the root of
Speaker 1: the problem with the weeds and the police department. Mind you,
Speaker 1: I do support the police department. I do make them coffee,
Speaker 1: have my volunteer when I do my volunteer work, I
Speaker 1: do make them coffee. I treat and respect everyone until
Speaker 1: you give me a reason that um But also but
Speaker 1: also um so, we've had problems with the police department
Speaker 1: and the god what is his name, the head of
Speaker 1: the Federal Order Police, the union. He he's always he's
Speaker 1: a Trump supporter, he's always all there. I just want
Speaker 1: you to come back to the Lord Life, because girl,
Speaker 1: you have taken me over the I'm not to see
Speaker 1: the Wizard girl. What the hell are you going? I'm
Speaker 1: not to see the Wizard girl, That's what I mean.
Speaker 1: They're coming after Lord Life book home. Being the woman,
Speaker 1: the mayor of our city. Yes she is the accountable,
Speaker 1: the buck stop for her, but they forget that all
Speaker 1: the little undercones that happened when people are trying to
Speaker 1: one undermine her authority, and too they're trying to do
Speaker 1: stuff behind you know where they're trying to cover each
Speaker 1: other when they do missee Now, mind you, Like I said,
Speaker 1: she has to atone for what happened on her watch,
Speaker 1: which this happened und her watch. She has met it
Speaker 1: was it was on the notes that she met with
Speaker 1: with the lady. And I saw the videotape. I was horrified.
Speaker 1: I was also I I I am so you know,
Speaker 1: horrified at what happened to her, because I can't even
Speaker 1: imagine being by yourself and you're you're changing, you're totally naked,
Speaker 1: and they and they put you in handcuff with no
Speaker 1: like they're nothing, you know, like you're not We're just saying,
Speaker 1: you know, we always love when you weigh in. Thank
Speaker 1: you my do you look beautiful? Happy New Year? Happy?
Speaker 1: I mean, I think the the overall what she's talking
Speaker 1: about is there's a lot of corruption within the Chicago government.
Speaker 1: I mean, we just talked about facts. It is not
Speaker 1: that nothing personally. Well, there's there's some corruption that she's
Speaker 1: having to deal with, and you know, at the end
Speaker 1: of the day, everything is being blamed on her, but
Speaker 1: she inherited, you know, a corrupt system, and then she's
Speaker 1: trying to weed the bad folks out and get it together.
Speaker 1: Chicago politics been corrupt for so many years. I can
Speaker 1: say because I'm from there. I can say, because I'm
Speaker 1: from the Chicago politic has been corrupt for years. Signed
Speaker 1: with them Daily's baby them Daily. That first day the
Speaker 1: daddy was a gang. I don't can know what the
Speaker 1: body is beared in airthing, But then we get who
Speaker 1: we get. We had, we had a man, we had,
Speaker 1: we had another black man. We had Harold Washington. Back
Speaker 1: in the day with Harold Washing was strong wheeled and
Speaker 1: he ended up dying from food poison. Now is it
Speaker 1: food poison? Poison? Food? As to what way you use
Speaker 1: the words I'm just saying. Then we had a gangster
Speaker 1: man named Jane Byrne. She gave bad the projects of Turkey,
Speaker 1: and that's how she wants. She gave us all the
Speaker 1: turkey for Christmas. Seriously, this is how. This is how
Speaker 1: Chicken had been getting us fun up for years. But
Speaker 1: she if everybody in the projects of Chicken and then
Speaker 1: said she was gonna take apartment in the Caprini Greens,
Speaker 1: which was the most hurious project in the country at
Speaker 1: that time. She came in the building, they probably took
Speaker 1: us in the front and camera took right on the
Speaker 1: back then and she didn't stayed. She got an apartment
Speaker 1: and projects. Girl, if you don't knock it off, she says,
Speaker 1: didn't gone. But then we had the other daily hold on,
Speaker 1: we had another. We had the Sun Now the song
Speaker 1: was Gangster. He made Chicago beautiful. The Chicago skyline is
Speaker 1: absolutely now, the city downtown is beautiful. The corruption is
Speaker 1: still there. Yes, I know Harold was murdered. Y'alln't listened
Speaker 1: to what I said. I'm not gonna say that. You said, um,
Speaker 1: the city is beautiful. But his wife Maggie, who suffered
Speaker 1: from cancer for years and battle battle battle cancer. He
Speaker 1: had a black secretary that worked behind him on the
Speaker 1: low low. Him and the black secretary was like missing
Speaker 1: me and Mrs Jones. They had the thing going on.
Speaker 1: After Maggie Dad, she gave him his approved, her approved
Speaker 1: vote to go on and be with somebody else. He
Speaker 1: married the black girl. We ain't seen or heard from
Speaker 1: Mayor Daily since because Mayor Daily get caught up on
Speaker 1: that black girl magic, because that black girl magic. And
Speaker 1: at the Maggie said, I'm leaving here. He got but
Speaker 1: she not only did he hook up with this black woman,
Speaker 1: he married this black woman. She had some black girl
Speaker 1: voodoo magic. Well, let's bring Nick back and so we
Speaker 1: can slide into this last topic, which I think is
Speaker 1: going to be a major topic that we're really going
Speaker 1: to have to go through. So they're gonna go deep, y'all.
Speaker 1: I can't handle deep. We're gonna talk about this last
Speaker 1: topic nasty all day today, all day today. A couple
Speaker 1: of things before I want to close out with LORI
Speaker 1: life for a couple of things I just want to
Speaker 1: touch on that was brought up with that last uh
Speaker 1: I guess because she's absolutely right. It looks like, just
Speaker 1: so people know the video shows the Chicago police officers
Speaker 1: smashed up on the door of fifty year old and
Speaker 1: Jeanette Young's townhouse in February twenty nine. Team Lightfoot, who
Speaker 1: was who promised to bring more transparency and accountability to Chicago,
Speaker 1: took office in April of twenty nineteen. So she was
Speaker 1: not Mayor win this one down. And it's just important
Speaker 1: that we kind of kind of mentioned that, let them know, Hey, Okay,
Speaker 1: you know, leave that woman alone, y'all. And you know
Speaker 1: what you remember Burn Mayor Burn I just talked about
Speaker 1: and she lived in Cabrini Greenford. No, no, no, she
Speaker 1: she took that no no, no, no, no no, she
Speaker 1: walked through Capparini Green She and she took that apartment
Speaker 1: at CANU that uh huh. And they we saw the
Speaker 1: camera walking in. Understand that they didn't have a They
Speaker 1: had a back door in Caprina Green. She was hanging
Speaker 1: out of Caprina Green playing state And this is why
Speaker 1: she's my long Lord. I needed help with that. Lad.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I just feel like our last subject is
Speaker 1: so heavy, but we felt like we just had to
Speaker 1: kind of talk about it there. Um, Lauren, go ahead,
Speaker 1: take us away. Yeah, So, um, Nick, you actually sent
Speaker 1: us this article. UM. But an eight year old boy
Speaker 1: named Gabriel Tay he was in the third grade. He
Speaker 1: actually committed suicide in seventeen and it was due to
Speaker 1: him being bullied at school. Um And, so this was
Speaker 1: January seen. His parents have since UM filed a lawsuit
Speaker 1: against an alleges that Gabriel was attacked by another student
Speaker 1: while he was at school and was left unconscious at
Speaker 1: one point. There's also a video that shows Gabriel lying
Speaker 1: on the floor for more than five minutes before any
Speaker 1: help was received for him. And Gabriel's parents were saying
Speaker 1: in their lawsuit that the principle and the assistant principle
Speaker 1: knew Gabriel was being bullied but did not communicate that
Speaker 1: information to his parrants. So they're basically saying that the
Speaker 1: school is at fault and that um they need to
Speaker 1: do something. And that's that's one of the reason why
Speaker 1: we started talking about this topic because UM, I personally believe,
Speaker 1: you know, uh, these parents deserve to have some type
Speaker 1: of justice for the death of their child. Um And
Speaker 1: And I know people say, Nick, I don't want teachers
Speaker 1: hitting my kids. I don't want some kid feeling like
Speaker 1: they don't have an out and uh, this this is
Speaker 1: what happens. I need teachers to intervene, and I know
Speaker 1: that's not their job, and I don't know what to say.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying that I don't think a three somebody
Speaker 1: in the third grade, y'all, third grade, you know that
Speaker 1: that that broke my heart. That's why I shared it,
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, I have have a couple of thoughts.
Speaker 1: So one, I don't think that the school is solely responsible.
Speaker 1: Um now, the incident of him being bullied and laying
Speaker 1: on the floor for five minutes not being helped, that
Speaker 1: is absolutely on the school. They should have done something
Speaker 1: about that. But I don't know. Maybe it's the way
Speaker 1: it I was raised, but my parents knew when something
Speaker 1: was wrong with me. I can't imagine this kid going
Speaker 1: to school being bullied and the parents saw nothing. I
Speaker 1: understand that. You know, they may have been working, they
Speaker 1: couldn't take time off to come up to the school.
Speaker 1: Everybody's circumstances are different, but there's just no way that
Speaker 1: you didn't know something was going on with your kid.
Speaker 1: And even in the instance where you can't go to
Speaker 1: the school. My mom straight up was like you getting
Speaker 1: bullied because I got bullied when I was younger. She
Speaker 1: encouraged me to fight. We can just we're gonna take
Speaker 1: it there. I was encouraged to fight, and my instructions
Speaker 1: were clocked that heap and when she's not looking, Lauren,
Speaker 1: straight up, straight up, clock her. When she's not looking,
Speaker 1: I guarantee you she's going to leave you alone. And
Speaker 1: what you get in trouble probably, what you get suspended, probably,
Speaker 1: But guess what, I'm gonna be right up at that
Speaker 1: school when I can get there, supporting you and defending
Speaker 1: your actions. Because you don't you don't allow yourself to
Speaker 1: get bullied. There's ways to figure that out. So that's
Speaker 1: why I'm saying, yes, this is the school responsible on
Speaker 1: one front, absolutely, because you're kid goes into this classroom,
Speaker 1: this school, and it's the teacher, principal, assistant, principle. It's
Speaker 1: their job to take care of you within these six
Speaker 1: to eight hours that you're there. Absolutely, But it's also
Speaker 1: the parents job when your kid comes home, to check
Speaker 1: in with your kid and make sure that they're okay,
Speaker 1: and then instruct them properly, properly of how you need
Speaker 1: to handle themselves. When they're away from you. Okay. So
Speaker 1: thus were the both the textbook and no no kid policies.
Speaker 1: Let me talk to you as a parent. Now came
Speaker 1: with my kids. I'm showing up period. I'm going to
Speaker 1: follow protocol which I have and if you watch me
Speaker 1: on the ready, I talked about this subject. All my
Speaker 1: jokes got some truth to the stories. If you, if
Speaker 1: I follow protocol, which is go up to the school
Speaker 1: and speak with the principles, speak with whoever is in administration,
Speaker 1: speak with security that my child, my child is being
Speaker 1: and you do nothing. Step two is I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: wait because bullying these days don't mean what it meant
Speaker 1: when I was a kid. Bullying we you to fight
Speaker 1: and all that. See, Nicholas never had a fight in
Speaker 1: his life. Let me first, let me go back. Nicholas
Speaker 1: never had a fight. You see them hands this nigga
Speaker 1: will get down because they fought me because I was
Speaker 1: sissy markets or they fought me because I I lived
Speaker 1: the life that I wanted to live. Whatever the reason was,
Speaker 1: it taught me to fight some people that I fought
Speaker 1: on Monday, mean mug on Tuesday, smiled at on Wednesday,
Speaker 1: winked that on Thursday, and we were speaking again on Friday.
Speaker 1: We are our best friends to this day. This is
Speaker 1: fifty years ago. This the hostility of these children not
Speaker 1: being able to release all this aggression and its frustration
Speaker 1: and it's hurt because of the Internet and cell phones
Speaker 1: and woo woo, they need someplace to let it out. Unfortunately,
Speaker 1: because we encourage children non violence and don't fight, they
Speaker 1: all this is built up on them. So now they're
Speaker 1: snapping out and they're killing their parents, or they're going
Speaker 1: to shooting up the schools, and then they're cutting themselves.
Speaker 1: They're hurting themselves. Sometimes these kids need to have a
Speaker 1: good old fashioned fist fight to get the ship up
Speaker 1: all of them. But if you funk with my kids
Speaker 1: and my kid is being bullied and you don't follow
Speaker 1: a protocol, I will fight your kids. Let me just
Speaker 1: say I'm not the only black bitch on here there
Speaker 1: to say that I will fight your I will meet
Speaker 1: your kid on the barkat lot or in the playgrou
Speaker 1: and fight your kid. And I know that sounds fame.
Speaker 1: You can't fight a kid. Some of these kids don't
Speaker 1: act like kids because they were raised by children. So
Speaker 1: they are the ones that are in control. My children
Speaker 1: don't run my house. They think they do. But when
Speaker 1: I get mad and take this weird off and the
Speaker 1: boys get deep, they run for the corners like roaches
Speaker 1: when you cut on the light in the kitchen because
Speaker 1: they know they didn't cross the land. And I'm not
Speaker 1: having it. These kids not scared of their parents, and
Speaker 1: these youngest parents ain't raising their kids. Some of these
Speaker 1: kids will hurt your children. Sometimes you have to meet
Speaker 1: fire with fire. And that's why my name is flame,
Speaker 1: because if your kid funk with my kids, they're gonna
Speaker 1: meet the fire that is flame. But no, yeah, but
Speaker 1: that's I would say, that's the dad in you, because
Speaker 1: even for me and my mother is crazy as all
Speaker 1: can get out, and you know, love her dearly for it.
Speaker 1: She's always been the helicopter mom. But everybody knew my
Speaker 1: mom was crazy. But it's when my dad showed up.
Speaker 1: That's what we called the brigade. We didn't want him
Speaker 1: showing up. We didn't. That's when everybody was like, Okay,
Speaker 1: he's coming up here to shoot. We don't want them problems.
Speaker 1: As crazy as my mother was, my dad was feared. Okay,
Speaker 1: So that's what I'm saying that's that's the dad, and
Speaker 1: you're talking about fighting kids and not that's that's the dad,
Speaker 1: and you in protecting your your you're young. Well you
Speaker 1: know what I said on the ready, I said when
Speaker 1: when I went up there to read the little boy,
Speaker 1: I wasn't in drag the space and a beard and
Speaker 1: a bad breath. So he went home and told that
Speaker 1: his mom and dad that he was attacked by her
Speaker 1: mom and dad. That Nick, And I'm not encouraging anyone
Speaker 1: to go fight somebody else's children, but I love what
Speaker 1: you're saying. You need to cover your children, and good
Speaker 1: parents are the first to discipline their children, but they
Speaker 1: also are the first to defend that you. My mother's
Speaker 1: name never came up to the school to see about me.
Speaker 1: My mother never came when I got in trouble. I
Speaker 1: got into fight, so I had altercations because she never
Speaker 1: came to see about me. I knew that when I
Speaker 1: became a parent, that was not gonna be my story
Speaker 1: for my children because I'm like Lawrence Dad. They hate
Speaker 1: to see me coming because I showed up like Mdia.
Speaker 1: I'm cussing out everybody first, especially when it comes to
Speaker 1: my children and I've always told my children, and both
Speaker 1: of you guys know my children. You tell me the
Speaker 1: truth right in their face. Whatever the principal says about you,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna believe you first, because you don't lie to me.
Speaker 1: I teach my children never to lie to me. I'm
Speaker 1: still working on their last one. But I teach my
Speaker 1: children never to lie to me. But you stand flat
Speaker 1: foot and look in their face, because I'm gonna let
Speaker 1: them tell their story, and then they're gonna let you
Speaker 1: tell you. And I'm giving y'all. For instance. So I
Speaker 1: had an altercation two years ago because you know about this,
Speaker 1: at the school my baby girl. The principal was a
Speaker 1: son of a bit. He was, and he told he
Speaker 1: said a racist remark to my kids. We were driving
Speaker 1: home from school. She told me, I turned the car
Speaker 1: around mid show I had a nineteen eighty nine. Uh what,
Speaker 1: I have a big gas truck, a General motor something.
Speaker 1: It was a old cranker. We called a BIRTHA God
Speaker 1: is good. Two years later I got something new. Any who,
Speaker 1: We went right back, and she begged me not to
Speaker 1: go back because she didn't want to conversate because she
Speaker 1: knows how I am about them. She knows that I'm
Speaker 1: super overprotective. I said, you say the same thing to
Speaker 1: him that you said to me. He she told her story,
Speaker 1: and he, you know, he told his story first, and
Speaker 1: I never interrupted him, neither did she did. She was
Speaker 1: telling her story and he interrupted her, and I said, stop.
Speaker 1: She didn't interrupt your story. Let her tell her story.
Speaker 1: My daughter told the story to me and to him
Speaker 1: in his face, the exact same way she had said
Speaker 1: it in the car. I knew my daughter was not lying.
Speaker 1: Baby that wasn't rehearsed every me and that man headed
Speaker 1: out at the school. He is now the principal at
Speaker 1: the school that she's at, and for two years he
Speaker 1: has been to my shows to see my shows. He
Speaker 1: supports me. I'm not and I'm telling you. But because
Speaker 1: I addressed that as Lauren say, as the dad, and
Speaker 1: he didn't see the flamer bro, he saw that other one.
Speaker 1: And we are cool. Sometimes, like again, we go back
Speaker 1: to people treat you the way they see you treat yourself.
Speaker 1: So many of my children's friends are well to do,
Speaker 1: kids with money and woo woo, but they spend more
Speaker 1: time with the nanny's than they do with the parents.
Speaker 1: I eat they like to hang out with us because
Speaker 1: I'm always at home. I'm a hands on dad, even
Speaker 1: on the days, and I want to be And I
Speaker 1: think that's the point to you gotta have you gotta
Speaker 1: be hands on with your kids as much as possible.
Speaker 1: I understand, like I said, everybody's circumstances are different, but
Speaker 1: like those car ride homes from school back to the house,
Speaker 1: that was important time with me and my mom or
Speaker 1: my dad because they wanted to know what happened at school.
Speaker 1: Just like Flame talked about some your principal made a
Speaker 1: racist comment, what happened today as cool, That's not the
Speaker 1: job of the nanny. But this is something completely Because
Speaker 1: you all talked about being hands on parents, I'm often
Speaker 1: criticized or still even to this day, tease by friends
Speaker 1: in mine for that. They're like, Nick, you still call
Speaker 1: your mother mom like I never called I joke with
Speaker 1: I said, you know, Mr Rozetta got on my nurse today,
Speaker 1: but I would never say to my mother Rosetta. I
Speaker 1: told you, like, there's still this. I am not a child,
Speaker 1: and I still fear my mother in some ways, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. There And we did talk and
Speaker 1: we played, we played Monopoly together, sorry, and things like that.
Speaker 1: We played board games together, you know, and we should
Speaker 1: encourage your reading. But but I've had two divorces now, Flame,
Speaker 1: because why are you gonna talk to your mama every
Speaker 1: damn day? You know that ain't healthy you you need
Speaker 1: to so so so so, I don't know, Flame, Is
Speaker 1: it possible to be too much of a parent too? Well? Well,
Speaker 1: I want to go back to the original topic, which
Speaker 1: was that the eight year boy eight year old boy
Speaker 1: killed himself. This is what I'm talking. I don't know
Speaker 1: his situation. I don't know whether he was gay, whatever
Speaker 1: they bullied him for. But I want to give hats
Speaker 1: off to the Wayne Way because had I had a
Speaker 1: parent in my home that cared about me at eight
Speaker 1: years old like that, you know, my mother was there,
Speaker 1: but my mother was on George'll we already know the
Speaker 1: story her that and I ain't telling Oh, he freached
Speaker 1: out on his mama. My mom had been cleaning us
Speaker 1: over over thirty years, but she was on drugs, big time,
Speaker 1: big time, and she wasn't there. And if I had
Speaker 1: the asuity of having one person in my life to
Speaker 1: talk to, imagine if that little eight year old boy
Speaker 1: has somebody he could confide in and tell that listen
Speaker 1: to him, didn't talk at him, didn't want to go
Speaker 1: up to the school, but listen to him and try
Speaker 1: to help him and show that they care. Maybe he
Speaker 1: wouldn't have killed himself. How losst was this baby at
Speaker 1: eight years old that he committed suicide. A lot of
Speaker 1: these kids don't have nobody to rely on. They really
Speaker 1: don't have nobody. You've talked about how unlike when you
Speaker 1: and I were growing up, the bullying doesn't stop when
Speaker 1: you leave that school. Oh no, because it's on the internet.
Speaker 1: So you I come home and so when we get
Speaker 1: off the page. You know how much hate I get
Speaker 1: on my page? Oh I can't stay in flame my row,
Speaker 1: So you get a hundred likes. Bitch, I don't give
Speaker 1: a fuck, but I'm fifty. A child won't see that
Speaker 1: because if they don't, if their self esteem is already low,
Speaker 1: and then they you a hundred people saying agreeing with
Speaker 1: somebody saying they don't like you. First of all, you
Speaker 1: don't even know who these hundred people are. But nobody
Speaker 1: has explained to an eight year old. Because that's there's
Speaker 1: a self esteem is low, and then a hundred people
Speaker 1: don't like me, I should kill myself. I'm not killing
Speaker 1: myself and your mama and generations of your mama. She
Speaker 1: But I think that also too goes back to the
Speaker 1: parents and that we're talking about, because, for instance, social media,
Speaker 1: like on Instagram, you'ren't even allowed to have an Instagram
Speaker 1: account to you're fourteen years old, So it also goes
Speaker 1: back to of the parenting. Now, mind you, I will
Speaker 1: fully accept I'm not a parent. I don't have kids.
Speaker 1: I'm only speaking on not not yet exactly, but I'm
Speaker 1: only speaking on the experiences that I've had with my
Speaker 1: mother because my mother, like she likes to say, she
Speaker 1: was liberally strict, as much of an oxymoron that is.
Speaker 1: But I understand now as I'm getting older, what that
Speaker 1: means and how important. You know, some of those harsh
Speaker 1: boundaries I may have thought she had laid out for me,
Speaker 1: but they were needed because the flames point. You know,
Speaker 1: when people say things, I don't get affected by it
Speaker 1: as much. You know, I've had my share of fights
Speaker 1: because people have pissed me off, and people have pissed
Speaker 1: me off and guess what, they didn't do it twice.
Speaker 1: So although you may not agree with the parenting or
Speaker 1: the upbringing that you received. Sometimes it's necessary to give
Speaker 1: that tough love and just to kind of be overbearing
Speaker 1: because you know it pans out well in the end.
Speaker 1: Before we leave you, guys, we've got to hear one
Speaker 1: more thing we cannot ignore. Kean. Yes, yes, yes, I
Speaker 1: was gonna say, speaking of her black dad's let's talk
Speaker 1: about great black dads. So um. A couple of weeks
Speaker 1: ago and actually Grammy Award women, a Grammy Grammy Award
Speaker 1: winning artist Keion Harold was in a hotel in Soho,
Speaker 1: New York, and uh with his fourteen year old son,
Speaker 1: and this woman came in and literally tackled his son,
Speaker 1: saying that he stole her iPhone. Um so the woman,
Speaker 1: her name is Maya Miya. However, you want to say
Speaker 1: a poncetto. She's twenty two years old. She she falsely
Speaker 1: accused Keion Harold's son of sealing her iPhone at the
Speaker 1: Arlow Hotel in Manhattan, Soho neighborhood. Um ponsetto who uh
Speaker 1: uh activists have dubbed her Soho Karen, We'll get to
Speaker 1: that too. Was arrested actually in February of last year
Speaker 1: for public intoxication with her mother and got a d
Speaker 1: y uh in May for driving drunk in l A County.
Speaker 1: So Poncetto has been named in a civil case involving
Speaker 1: an eviction for nonpayment, and my p D says that
Speaker 1: they're planning to charge Maya Poncetto with multiple charges of assault,
Speaker 1: and the New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio has
Speaker 1: blasted the running as plain and can we just say,
Speaker 1: can we give a shot off to the fact that
Speaker 1: they finally put somebody else's information out there for once,
Speaker 1: because usually the minute a person of colors victimized, they're like, oh,
Speaker 1: but you know, back when he was fourteen, he did
Speaker 1: such and such. And I'm glad that they're like, oh,
Speaker 1: by the way, the woman who attacked him, let's tell
Speaker 1: you a little bit about her. She tried the wrong one,
Speaker 1: is what happened. She tried the wrong one. No, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: what's the best name? Miya Maya Pto? Please please let
Speaker 1: let me be in there, and ran up on one
Speaker 1: of my children. Hats off to everybody involved. I'm glad
Speaker 1: that little boy is okay. Nobody was hurt, and I'm
Speaker 1: gonna give you some for instances, because you know, if
Speaker 1: the dad would have hit the mom, he's black and
Speaker 1: she identified as his white because I don't think she
Speaker 1: might have Italian right, Yeah, y'all black Italians, good hair,
Speaker 1: black any who. I would have sucked this lady up.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you I had a problem with the
Speaker 1: dad video tape, and I said, this my love lounge
Speaker 1: because you're standing back videotaping, but I understand the plight
Speaker 1: that we are in in America. As a black man,
Speaker 1: they would have turned it all the way around and
Speaker 1: said he attacked this woman because she looks white to
Speaker 1: the to the naked eye. But as a transgender dad
Speaker 1: and parents, I would have beat that bitch ass right
Speaker 1: there for touching my kid on the spot. And then
Speaker 1: they said a man ain't supposed to for the woman.
Speaker 1: I always keep a spare wig in my purse. I
Speaker 1: would have put a wig on and said, this was
Speaker 1: a woman whooping this woman for touching myself. What we're
Speaker 1: not gonna do is put our hands on my children.
Speaker 1: Because when they made that woman's phone, they made a thousand,
Speaker 1: ten thousand more just like it. You walk in and
Speaker 1: tackle my son, all of my kids are like me.
Speaker 1: If I'm swinging, they all swinging. If I go to
Speaker 1: the purse, they duck and run because they know some
Speaker 1: ship coming out. Well, let's let's talk about that too.
Speaker 1: So the phone ended up being returned because she was
Speaker 1: a guest at the hotel, but three days prior, she
Speaker 1: wasn't even a guest at the time. The phone was
Speaker 1: returned from an uber driver that same day. And to
Speaker 1: top it all off, the phone that she had was
Speaker 1: a lesser version of what the sun had. It wasn't
Speaker 1: even the same version of the same fun. Well, you know,
Speaker 1: the bitch was confused. She got caught drunk driving and
Speaker 1: the bitches publicly intoxicated. So the bitches an alcoholic called
Speaker 1: triple A A triple A a r P somebody because
Speaker 1: the bitches are drunk, and it's public knowledge that the
Speaker 1: bitches a drawn, and y'all keep giving them a pass.
Speaker 1: Ain't no pass. She drunk and she was out drunk
Speaker 1: with a mama. Who does that? And and get and
Speaker 1: get charged for it? Because I know mothers and daughters.
Speaker 1: They go to the tavern often, drink, have a good time,
Speaker 1: go home, anybody que ain't nobody started ship with no
Speaker 1: police and her mama. It's the generational drunk, it's in
Speaker 1: the longevity, it's in the know that I got a
Speaker 1: problem with that. I don't like that they make excuses
Speaker 1: for them. But we always made out to look like
Speaker 1: the monsters. We're not the fucking monsters. And that boy
Speaker 1: was fourteen years old. The dad had every right to
Speaker 1: slap you know what the dad should have did. Y'all
Speaker 1: see that video where the man slapped the man with
Speaker 1: a d He slapped the twelve days of Christmas out
Speaker 1: of his ass, got there. He kicked that candy baby.
Speaker 1: He he kept calling him a nigga. He get my nigga, nigga, nigga,
Speaker 1: that nigga, that nigga, that baby. That man kicked that can.
Speaker 1: He took that canny. He slapped the twelve horses running
Speaker 1: Christmas listing six dogs and slap five. Slapped the ship
Speaker 1: out of me baby. He slapped the yellow moans, pink stars,
Speaker 1: and was out there that that's what that lady need.
Speaker 1: I'd have slapped her as her hands spent around like
Speaker 1: Linda Bland xes, don't put your hands on my keys,
Speaker 1: and and understand that in a different climate and in
Speaker 1: a different time, he wouldn't have had every right because
Speaker 1: you protect your children at all costs. She tackled this
Speaker 1: man's son, she don't know if he had a knife
Speaker 1: and was stabbing her baby or what have you. I
Speaker 1: would my natural reaction would have been to punch the
Speaker 1: hell out of her. Honestly, I wouldn't have thought about
Speaker 1: what it would have been different too, because I'm just
Speaker 1: saying if it was me and my mom, oh, my
Speaker 1: mom would have weld on yeah, so and and I
Speaker 1: think that's probably the difference too, because because this was
Speaker 1: a black male and it was his son, you know
Speaker 1: he I think he handled it the best way he
Speaker 1: could have because I saw the security of video, and
Speaker 1: then I saw the cell phone video. She literally like
Speaker 1: bulldozed his son down, and Kean Harold ran up and
Speaker 1: pulled her off of him and everything else, and then
Speaker 1: she tried to do it again. So I'm glad they
Speaker 1: had the security footage. I'm glad he did the cell
Speaker 1: phone video because if he didn't have that evidence, the
Speaker 1: narrative would have been so much different. It would have
Speaker 1: been like, oh no, I was attacked and everything else.
Speaker 1: It should have been a black mama named key Show
Speaker 1: or like to baby Sophia. Woman woman, woman, bitch head
Speaker 1: to ground for touching her baby. Very Beyonce and obsession.
Speaker 1: You touched my child? How are you way in? We
Speaker 1: want your opinion on anything and everything. I'm gonna tell
Speaker 1: you this thing. I'm from DC City, the as you know.
Speaker 1: This lady in my school made me do something. My
Speaker 1: dad came to that school and I've never seen him
Speaker 1: do something like this. He choked that lady and put
Speaker 1: her up the wall and said, if you ever touched
Speaker 1: my son again, this will be your last day on
Speaker 1: this what's your daddy's number? That? I mean, he did
Speaker 1: fight in Vietnam, so he's a little touchy and he's
Speaker 1: a black panther. But my dad would have messed that
Speaker 1: woman up, hands down. I've seen him do it. So
Speaker 1: she was totally wrong. And it is inappropriate for me
Speaker 1: and honestly to me for them to put a hand
Speaker 1: on a woman. But sometimes a woman pushed the envelope.
Speaker 1: And now that was not about her hitting him, that
Speaker 1: was about him protecting his sea. Yeah, absolutely, your son. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you gotta protect your kids. If if no one's gonna do,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be your well. If your children don't and
Speaker 1: if your children don't feel safe with you as their parents,
Speaker 1: they'll go find safety in the arms of the wrong person. Correct, absolutely, exactly, exactly, Well,
Speaker 1: thank you, I Ferris, Happy New Year. You know what?
Speaker 1: Quick like that was it? You claim you're ridiculous, you've
Speaker 1: been on fire today? You have been. You know you

Speaker 1: time we talk about We're not trying to get anybody
Speaker 1: to change their mind. We just want you to use
Speaker 1: your mind. That's it. Think for yourself, do your own research,
Speaker 1: because we are here to laugh, but we were also
Speaker 1: here to learn, yes, and we're here to teach and
Speaker 1: lovely move on, slap let me slap on, fine, ladies.
Speaker 1: The best with Georgia. We cannot, we cannot push it
Speaker 1: enough for you guys to really get out and in
Speaker 1: Georgia and vote. We have to get control of the Senate.
Speaker 1: And when I say control, we're not even getting control.
Speaker 1: We're just getting the fair play of even even the
Speaker 1: deciding vote will be uh broken by Kamala Harris, the
Speaker 1: vice Vice presidential Canada, Kamala Harris, and we know she's
Speaker 1: raning with Team Democrats. So let's do this so we
Speaker 1: can have some kind of power because Ms McConnell is blocking.
Speaker 1: And I know some of y'all hungry, some of y'all
Speaker 1: can't pay your rent. They are dropping everything. And I'm
Speaker 1: not saying hungry in vain or in comedy. I'm saying
Speaker 1: for real. Because if you showed, they showed the hypocrisy
Speaker 1: of what they could have been done for Americans last week.
Speaker 1: Y'all waited all this time. Y'all gave the first stimulus
Speaker 1: is in April, and y'all waited all the way to December,
Speaker 1: the almost the end of the fucking year, and you
Speaker 1: clicked one button and just released money to so many people.
Speaker 1: You could have done this in May, June, July, August, September,
Speaker 1: October November. You waited to almost the end of the
Speaker 1: year to do six hundred disrespectful dollars to people who
Speaker 1: have been hurting for months because of the back of
Speaker 1: responsibility that you guys voted to put this clown in office.
Speaker 1: Don't blame nobody but yourselves, but don't use us as ponds,
Speaker 1: which is what y'all did. That was like when you
Speaker 1: go to a welfire office and you get them so
Speaker 1: secret and they hit one, but they can see what
Speaker 1: states you have welfame because I had state welfaend like
Speaker 1: seven states and I'm get off topic. Listen, ladies and gentlemen,
Speaker 1: please vote, Please wash your hands, please wear your masks,
Speaker 1: Please practice social distancing. They have just shut down us
Speaker 1: in travel band in California. You don't even come here
Speaker 1: because you can't get out. Don't come here because you
Speaker 1: can unless you're driving, because you can't fly out. That's
Speaker 1: why Nick ain't here. Yes, and Nick, where can everybody
Speaker 1: find you crying in a corner at Nicksmith News At
