Why 0:04:29.520 --> 0:04:33.040 are you in North Carolina? Nick? I got stuck? Flights 0:04:33.080 --> 0:04:35.080 got canceled on me, and I couldn't not get back. 0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:38.120 I went to Florida this weekend for a simple four 0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:41.599 day getaway, and then everything got canceled when it came. 0:04:41.680 --> 0:04:44.839 As soon as I left Florida, everything got canceled coming 0:04:44.880 --> 0:04:48.440 back west. So everything West and Midwest just shut down. 0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:50.640 You went the wrong way, you were supposed to came 0:04:50.760 --> 0:04:52.960 this way, You went the opposite way you're supposed to 0:04:52.960 --> 0:04:54.680 came this way, and you would have been stuck. You've 0:04:54.680 --> 0:04:58.680 been right here to back. Yeah, uh, California is still west, 0:04:59.080 --> 0:05:04.599 but definitely I couldn't even get that way. Everything stopped 0:05:04.600 --> 0:05:06.680 in Dallas. You know, it's since they're no more direct flights. 0:05:07.000 --> 0:05:08.800 But you're okay, right, You're in the hotel, and every 0:05:08.880 --> 0:05:12.559 day you're okay.

I was sharing with a friend of mine. 0:05:20.680 --> 0:05:22.839 I said, I can remember the days in college where 0:05:23.080 --> 0:05:25.360 if a flight got canceled, you would have been sleeping 0:05:25.360 --> 0:05:37.240 in that airport. But God airport, Yeah, an airport God. 0:05:37.760 --> 0:05:39.840 And have tons of friends who do TV news here 0:05:39.880 --> 0:05:41.640 in Charlotte.

I 0:08:16.960 --> 0:08:18.960 was in the heels for twelve hours, four days out 0:08:18.960 --> 0:08:21.800 the week. Yeah, I cussed for us talk plenty of ship. 0:08:22.800 --> 0:08:26.480 But the check clear from Michael Weinstein. Thank you, Michael Weinstey. 0:08:26.560 --> 0:08:31.040 Michael Weinstein is the CEO of A's Healthcare Foundation's health 0:08:31.040 --> 0:08:33.560 Care Foundation, if you guys didn't know that, and he 0:08:33.640 --> 0:08:38.439 is officially and unofficially my Jewish husband. There you go, 0:08:38.559 --> 0:08:41.760 there you go. Let me let me tell you why 0:08:41.800 --> 0:08:44.080 though he's unofficially her Jewish husbin because the first show 0:08:44.080 --> 0:08:46.400 we did, Flame went and sat on his lap. They 0:08:46.440 --> 0:08:50.880 had a moment. So that's why there was a part 0:08:50.920 --> 0:08:52.960 in the show that you all didn't see from the 0:08:53.000 --> 0:08:55.280 live where I had to go around to collect money 0:08:55.320 --> 0:08:59.480 for donations for HF and I said, I can smell money, 0:08:59.679 --> 0:09:02.160 and I had never seen or met Michael Weinstein. I 0:09:02.280 --> 0:09:05.240 walked straight to him because like I said, I can 0:09:05.400 --> 0:09:12.120 smell money and set right on his lap. And I've 0:09:12.120 --> 0:09:18.240 been an employee everything placy. That would suggest that maybe 0:09:18.240 --> 0:09:21.600 your curves and vivaciousness is what gets you employed. It 0:09:21.640 --> 0:09:24.080 could be all the way he all the way gave 0:09:24.120 --> 0:09:27.280 my curves and vivations. Thanky shipped for him honey truck. 0:09:29.200 --> 0:09:32.959 Last thing before we move on. Also, since last week, 0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:42.280 your queens are back, correct, uh mad Maddie Maddie and 0:09:42.440 --> 0:09:45.120 playing in Cathy. You're gonna suck up my movie before 0:09:45.120 --> 0:09:47.880 the show even get started. Take you out and bring 0:09:47.960 --> 0:09:54.560 you back. You messed up, ridiculous. No, I know you 0:09:54.679 --> 0:09:57.160 missed up, and I'm glad everybody's back because last week 0:09:57.160 --> 0:09:58.960 you were talking about how they were still in the air, 0:09:59.200 --> 0:10:01.079 so at least they may back before the storm that 0:10:01.160 --> 0:10:03.200 caught me. That would have driven you crazy had they 0:10:03.240 --> 0:10:06.320 been trapped out of the city someplace. So everything happens 0:10:06.320 --> 0:10:14.040 the way it's supposed to. Crazy. Now, Well, Lauren, I 0:10:14.080 --> 0:10:16.160 will let you know. I don't have my list in 0:10:16.200 --> 0:10:19.240 front of me today, so I'm gonna need you to time. Okay, 0:10:19.280 --> 0:10:23.520 thank you so much Black history, Nicklas, So you you 0:10:23.600 --> 0:10:26.920 tell us a black historian for you that that resonates 0:10:26.960 --> 0:10:28.640 with you and for you and why and give us 0:10:28.679 --> 0:10:35.120 the Rosetta version cleared and to the point. Um. Last week, 0:10:35.160 --> 0:10:37.200 I mentioned Brian Gumble because I said that he was 0:10:37.240 --> 0:10:41.000 the first African American morning anchor on the National Show. UM, 0:10:41.040 --> 0:10:44.199 and someone had commented this, said, NICKI forgot about Max Robinson, 0:10:44.600 --> 0:10:47.600 and I'd like to recognize Max Robinson. Max Robinson was 0:10:47.640 --> 0:10:51.520 the first African American to do an evening broadcast. He 0:10:51.600 --> 0:10:55.000 did World News Tonight, which Peter Jennings ended up doing. So. 0:10:55.080 --> 0:10:57.839 Max Robinson was the first African American to do an 0:10:57.840 --> 0:11:01.400 evening broadcast. Brian double was the first to do a 0:11:01.480 --> 0:11:13.160 morning show and uh and uh watching him, it was just, 0:11:13.320 --> 0:11:16.040 uh it inspired me to get into TV. That's about 0:11:16.040 --> 0:11:20.680 Black history moment. Uh, Lauren, what about you. Well, actually 0:11:20.679 --> 0:11:22.400 I brought this up to Flame because I thought maybe 0:11:22.400 --> 0:11:24.880 this could be a good topic overall for us discussed 0:11:24.960 --> 0:11:28.360 under the umbrella black history. I was recently watching Glory 0:11:28.440 --> 0:11:31.360 this weekend. Very random, but I was watching Glory and 0:11:31.400 --> 0:11:33.840 of course everybody who's seen the movie with Denzil Washington 0:11:33.960 --> 0:11:36.760 and Morgan Freeman. Um, it's about the fifty four regiment 0:11:37.000 --> 0:11:40.600 Um in the American Civil War, and specifically they were 0:11:40.600 --> 0:11:44.440 the second black regiment Um in the military. And I 0:11:44.480 --> 0:11:46.719 thought it could be interesting because you know, we've had 0:11:46.760 --> 0:11:49.280 conversations about the military on the show. We've had some 0:11:49.400 --> 0:11:53.480 very honest conversation, difference of opinions, but also to um. 0:11:53.520 --> 0:11:55.440 Godfrey was on last week and we were talking about 0:11:55.440 --> 0:11:57.760 black masculinity. So I felt like there was a lot 0:11:57.800 --> 0:12:01.240 of intersecting topics and idea is that we've had discussions on. 0:12:01.480 --> 0:12:02.960 Then I kind of wanted to bring it up. It 0:12:03.000 --> 0:12:05.040 is Black History Month, you know, we may hear about 0:12:05.080 --> 0:12:08.240 it here and there in terms of but I thought 0:12:08.280 --> 0:12:09.880 it could be a good topic for us to discuss 0:12:09.920 --> 0:12:13.040 in terms of the military, um, you know, what was 0:12:13.040 --> 0:12:15.280 going on at that time, and also to the black 0:12:15.320 --> 0:12:18.520 masculinity that was felt very threatened to a lot of 0:12:18.880 --> 0:12:21.040 you know, people who were white at that time. So 0:12:22.360 --> 0:12:26.800 that's a good one. Well who I ain't got, nobody 0:12:26.800 --> 0:12:29.880 who I got? I watched Harriet Tubman this week. Harriet 0:12:29.880 --> 0:12:34.360 Tubman is my Black American choice because I officially believe 0:12:34.840 --> 0:12:38.000 that Harriet Tubman was the first trans man ever. I 0:12:38.040 --> 0:12:40.600 don't believe that she was actually a trans man or 0:12:40.600 --> 0:12:43.600 that she identified as male, but they were looking for 0:12:43.640 --> 0:12:46.920 a young, a short black man that was helping slaves escape, 0:12:47.160 --> 0:12:49.560 so she couldn't have been the most girly looking, which 0:12:49.600 --> 0:12:52.520 worked in her favorite because Harriet Tubman's freed over a 0:12:52.600 --> 0:12:55.600 hundred and fifty slaves, so they were looking for a 0:12:55.679 --> 0:12:57.480 young man. They never knew that it was a woman. 0:12:57.520 --> 0:12:59.360 For a long time, they didn't know that Harriet was 0:12:59.400 --> 0:13:01.840 a woman. And this is according to history, and according 0:13:01.840 --> 0:13:03.720 to the movie the movie sugar coated it a lot. 0:13:04.040 --> 0:13:06.400 But according to the record books, they were looking for 0:13:06.520 --> 0:13:09.960 a very short man. Harry was a woman with a purpose, 0:13:10.559 --> 0:13:13.080 and she was a black woman. It seems like black 0:13:13.080 --> 0:13:18.400 women have been saving the day for such a long time, 0:13:18.440 --> 0:13:22.000 which is probably why I aspired to be a black woman. 0:13:22.200 --> 0:13:27.400 I'll go figure absolutely, Black women have been saving us 0:13:27.400 --> 0:13:30.640 for millennia, and I think that, uh, we all know 0:13:30.679 --> 0:13:33.240 that in many regards, you know, so yeah, definitely we 0:13:33.280 --> 0:13:35.920 don't need to look any further than this last if 0:13:35.920 --> 0:13:38.920 you ask me, the senators from Georgia, I think have 0:13:38.960 --> 0:13:40.880 a lot to do with the power and strength of 0:13:40.880 --> 0:13:45.360 black women motivating the base. Well, we're gonna bring in 0:13:45.400 --> 0:13:47.240 some flame mystic and we want to know who what 0:13:47.360 --> 0:13:49.720 we're wearing why, because a lot of them gonna bring 0:13:49.760 --> 0:13:52.080 in that was at homework this morning to tell us 0:13:52.120 --> 0:13:54.079 about history black and his story is that we don't know. 0:13:54.200 --> 0:13:58.480 If I want somebody talk about who discovered Chicago? Do Sabo? 0:13:58.559 --> 0:14:01.800 Then he discovered Chica or he was the founders. He's 0:14:01.800 --> 0:14:05.400 considered the founder of Chicago. Yep, I bet you he 0:14:05.600 --> 0:14:07.560 found the south Side. I bet you he found your 0:14:07.679 --> 0:14:10.040 driving and he lived there. He could even afford to 0:14:10.040 --> 0:14:12.520 live there. He found no damn south Side. He found 0:14:12.559 --> 0:14:15.120 it Lake Shaw Drift, and y'all took it over and 0:14:15.120 --> 0:14:16.800 made the rent you half for us to live there. 0:14:16.840 --> 0:14:20.120 I say what I say, Okay, we're gonna bring back 0:14:21.920 --> 0:14:25.280 all right, by bye, we created some ship. Then I 0:14:25.320 --> 0:14:31.080 can't afford people on your phone. She don't have android 0:14:31.160 --> 0:14:35.040 she got did you watch the Fred Hampton movie? No, 0:14:35.160 --> 0:14:37.400 who's coming on to tell us about some black history? 0:14:37.800 --> 0:14:39.720 Who's gonna? Oh?

Let me tell you something, 0:15:22.880 --> 0:15:29.560 let me stall the titles, let me own it. I 0:15:29.600 --> 0:15:31.760 can guarantee you that that nig didn't put a ring 0:15:31.760 --> 0:15:34.960 around it quite a few times. Listen, I don't believe 0:15:34.960 --> 0:15:37.680 in marriage. We can't see you. We see a steeler 0:15:37.760 --> 0:15:39.800 from me. I don't want to get a having a 0:15:39.840 --> 0:15:46.000 shirt on. Can you hear me? Now? I hear you? 0:15:46.120 --> 0:15:48.440 Just we come out here talk something. Bay ain't the 0:15:48.520 --> 0:15:50.520 husband he might not to put a ring on it, 0:15:50.560 --> 0:15:53.200 but I guarantee you he didn't put some rings around it. 0:15:53.400 --> 0:15:58.960 Now I married myself anyways, nigger, that's a script of 0:15:59.000 --> 0:16:05.280 I ever heard what you it's and Mike, and I 0:16:05.400 --> 0:16:07.800 know that you have uh like mark you mark you 0:16:07.840 --> 0:16:09.720 a mixture. You gotta hold you a muddy. You like 0:16:09.760 --> 0:16:11.680 all the rest of us. We all mutch for real. 0:16:12.280 --> 0:16:15.400 So what black history mains of you? Who? What black history? 0:16:15.480 --> 0:16:17.400 Can you tell us about it? Because I'm about to 0:16:17.440 --> 0:16:19.320 ask you about this vack sage so that let's go 0:16:19.360 --> 0:16:21.920 to black history first. But believe it or not, I'm 0:16:21.960 --> 0:16:25.400 actually like you there, Urine. Where I was raised, black 0:16:25.440 --> 0:16:28.360 history was never taught. Um, it was never taught in 0:16:28.400 --> 0:16:33.520 my schools. I don't even have one memory besides obviously MLK, 0:16:33.760 --> 0:16:36.920 of learning about black history. And I'll be completely honest, 0:16:37.160 --> 0:16:39.960 listening to T T and so many people on here 0:16:40.600 --> 0:16:45.440 has enlightened me so much more about black history and 0:16:45.520 --> 0:16:48.560 just sort of the real fight because you always hear 0:16:48.600 --> 0:16:50.480 about it, but it seems like when you hear about 0:16:50.480 --> 0:16:54.560 it from mainstream outlets or social media, it's always from 0:16:54.560 --> 0:16:59.520 like this really uh angry place or bitter place. Do 0:16:59.560 --> 0:17:01.560 you never actually hear it for what it is, if 0:17:01.560 --> 0:17:05.280 that makes sense. So, um, I'm I'm still being educated 0:17:05.320 --> 0:17:07.440 and believe it or not, I personally don't feel that 0:17:07.920 --> 0:17:12.520 I even have the slightest understanding of what black people 0:17:12.520 --> 0:17:16.240 in our country have been through. Um, because I've never 0:17:16.280 --> 0:17:19.760 been I've never been once, I've never had anything racist 0:17:19.800 --> 0:17:23.200 throwing my way. Um. I've always been in circles of everybody. 0:17:23.240 --> 0:17:25.960 I've always Um, I don't know if it's just been 0:17:25.960 --> 0:17:29.520 my my environment. But um, with that being said, who 0:17:29.560 --> 0:17:33.960 I am currently, uh, just in all of is the 0:17:34.040 --> 0:17:36.280 young woman and I'm having a brain fart who was 0:17:36.320 --> 0:17:39.000 the first the poet at the inauguration, who was also 0:17:39.119 --> 0:17:45.399 the Super Bowl. Yeah. She I mean like to me 0:17:45.640 --> 0:17:49.080 that her story and just who she is and the 0:17:49.119 --> 0:17:51.800 way that she is able to communicate via her art 0:17:52.600 --> 0:17:54.840 is just like I I sit there and I'm just 0:17:54.920 --> 0:17:58.560 like a like a little kid listening to a story time. 0:17:58.760 --> 0:18:00.920 It's It's amazing and I love that she has been 0:18:00.920 --> 0:18:04.119 given this platform during this time in our country to 0:18:04.720 --> 0:18:08.280 read the message through a very serious way, but also 0:18:08.440 --> 0:18:11.160 through a way that people can easily listen and understand. 0:18:11.760 --> 0:18:13.920 Can I say that for the one year that you've 0:18:13.920 --> 0:18:17.359 been following me. That was the fairest assessment that you 0:18:17.440 --> 0:18:20.280 have ever given on this platform. And I appreciate you 0:18:20.320 --> 0:18:23.479 for that. And Amanda Gorman is not old Black history, 0:18:23.520 --> 0:18:26.200 but she will be part of this new generation's black history. 0:18:26.200 --> 0:18:29.520 She has established herself as a historian. But Mark, that 0:18:29.600 --> 0:18:32.160 was the fairest assessment of you saying that you don't 0:18:32.160 --> 0:18:34.119 know Black history. And it's not ignorant to say that 0:18:34.160 --> 0:18:36.439 because you don't know. And I appreciate that a lot 0:18:36.480 --> 0:18:38.760 of people, a lot more people should look like and 0:18:38.840 --> 0:18:40.800 look at things like, oh, I don't know. I can't 0:18:40.840 --> 0:18:42.760 speak on it because I don't know. As opposed to 0:18:42.800 --> 0:18:46.200 jumping the gun. You almost lost your Megan McCain card today, 0:18:46.240 --> 0:18:50.280 but you see Megan McCain. They just let's understand to 0:18:51.119 --> 0:18:53.120 what Mark is saying. I actually I agree with him 0:18:53.160 --> 0:18:55.200 because for me, and this is part of the reason 0:18:55.240 --> 0:18:57.080 why I encourage people, if you can and have the 0:18:57.080 --> 0:19:00.400 opportunity to go to ansorrectly Black college because tomorrow point 0:19:00.440 --> 0:19:02.600 a lot of the things that we learned in school, 0:19:02.720 --> 0:19:05.600 it's a very you know, westernized European version of history 0:19:05.640 --> 0:19:07.920 and what's actually taking place. And you know, nine times 0:19:07.920 --> 0:19:10.080 in the time, you don't get the truth. So therefore, 0:19:10.200 --> 0:19:12.480 like when I went to Sting with you, guys all know, 0:19:12.960 --> 0:19:14.480 there was a lot of things that I didn't know. 0:19:14.560 --> 0:19:16.199 Even going to Georgia the first time I told you 0:19:16.200 --> 0:19:18.439 how I didn't recognize who Andrew Young was, you know. 0:19:18.560 --> 0:19:20.520 So it's very important that we have to, you know, 0:19:20.640 --> 0:19:23.080 educate ourselves and teach kids, you know, teach our kids 0:19:23.119 --> 0:19:25.159 the best way we can about black history and all 0:19:25.160 --> 0:19:27.560 the accomplishments that black folks have made in building this 0:19:27.640 --> 0:19:30.160 country that we not North America. So I absolutely agree 0:19:30.200 --> 0:19:32.959 with you, Mark, you know. Okay, So that's one conversation 0:19:32.960 --> 0:19:34.800 to Mark. You Mark'll come, I'm sorry, baby, Come on? 0:19:34.920 --> 0:19:37.159 What was you about to say? Of comments? So there 0:19:37.200 --> 0:19:39.199 was some comments saying, well, obviously I don't care too 0:19:39.280 --> 0:19:41.280 much if I didn't know her name. I knew her name. 0:19:41.440 --> 0:19:44.000 The problem was all I had in my head was 0:19:44.040 --> 0:19:47.639 that Harriet Tubman was the first trans that that those 0:19:47.680 --> 0:19:50.040 comments are irrelevant right now because you talking to me 0:19:50.080 --> 0:19:52.199 and Lauren. You're not talking to them exactly, You're not 0:19:52.240 --> 0:19:54.000 talking to them, You're talking about us. Let me tell 0:19:54.040 --> 0:19:56.639 you something. Those comments would throw you off. And people 0:19:56.640 --> 0:19:59.320 will always have something to say about what, who had 0:19:59.359 --> 0:20:02.399 what what? Listen to what he said that he was 0:20:02.560 --> 0:20:05.159 unaware and he was unfamiliar. That don't mean that he 0:20:05.200 --> 0:20:07.800 didn't know. Y'all know how many times I mess up names. 0:20:07.840 --> 0:20:09.600 I mess up names everything. I caught somebody the wrong 0:20:09.680 --> 0:20:11.159 name or say the wrong thing. Y'all know what the 0:20:11.160 --> 0:20:12.760 hell are we're talking about. I really do mess up 0:20:12.840 --> 0:20:15.040 names all the time. And it is just a normal 0:20:15.119 --> 0:20:17.199 hiccup from being a human man when your mind is 0:20:17.240 --> 0:20:20.040 going faster than your mouth. So slow down and y'all 0:20:20.080 --> 0:20:22.560 take a cheer peal. Now, let's go to somewhere else. 0:20:22.600 --> 0:20:24.280 Markey Mark, because I need to tell you. So I'm 0:20:24.280 --> 0:20:25.720 gonna tell you what black history and I want you 0:20:25.840 --> 0:20:28.119 to study Markey Mark. I want you to study that 0:20:28.320 --> 0:20:31.400 Turner because Nat Turner was the beast baby that Turning said, 0:20:31.440 --> 0:20:33.520 y'all ain't with me no more. I'm killing everybody that 0:20:33.600 --> 0:20:36.520 damn the Turner killed everybody, Mark very me. I wonder 0:20:36.560 --> 0:20:42.760 to see a trainee point up, because I know everyone 0:20:42.760 --> 0:20:46.080 else is gonna bring on old black history. Who obviously 0:20:46.160 --> 0:20:49.840 I know I know the standard, right, But my point 0:20:50.000 --> 0:20:53.280 was is that it's crazy that even today there are 0:20:53.320 --> 0:20:57.680 still black people making history. So we're not that far 0:20:57.840 --> 0:21:00.760 advanced as we think we are when it comes to, uh, 0:21:00.800 --> 0:21:02.920 the black story, if that makes sense. That was why 0:21:03.040 --> 0:21:06.480 I specifically highlighted her. So again, pay attention to what 0:21:06.520 --> 0:21:08.919 I'm saying. Uh, there's other people who are going to 0:21:08.920 --> 0:21:13.040 be able to speak more educatedly on specifically. We don't 0:21:13.040 --> 0:21:15.439 worry about that. We're talking to you right now and 0:21:15.440 --> 0:21:17.439 we're getting on for that black history because they comments 0:21:17.440 --> 0:21:19.359 is gonna keep coming in because you know, they always 0:21:19.400 --> 0:21:21.520 feel like if you're not black, you can't speak on it. 0:21:21.600 --> 0:21:23.040 That's not true that you can't speak on and you 0:21:23.119 --> 0:21:25.760 can teach other people that are not like you. Y'all 0:21:25.800 --> 0:21:27.600 need to open your mind, so open your heart and 0:21:27.640 --> 0:21:29.680 look at these But I do, I do want to 0:21:29.720 --> 0:21:31.600 say one last thing on what Marcus said though. I 0:21:31.640 --> 0:21:33.280 think that's something else that we do before we get 0:21:33.320 --> 0:21:35.200 off this black history tip. I think that's one thing 0:21:35.200 --> 0:21:37.000 that we do forget though a lot of time, is 0:21:37.000 --> 0:21:39.080 is that all of the civil rights and all of 0:21:39.200 --> 0:21:41.680 you know, enslavery in those things. Yes, slavery was happened 0:21:41.720 --> 0:21:43.840 four hundred years ago, a little over four hundred years ago, 0:21:43.840 --> 0:21:45.879 but a lot of the civil rights and the activism 0:21:45.880 --> 0:21:48.639 in terms of racism that we're still currently dealing with. 0:21:48.680 --> 0:21:51.160 It didn't happen that long ago. I was watching, Uh, 0:21:51.240 --> 0:21:54.359 I saw a video on Instagram about something that happened 0:21:55.440 --> 0:21:57.960 the only four years ago where there was this uh 0:21:58.119 --> 0:21:59.960 black these black kids trying to go down the street 0:22:00.280 --> 0:22:03.240 they were moving into this white neighborhood, and all these 0:22:03.280 --> 0:22:06.480 white calling in the N words and not letting won't 0:22:06.480 --> 0:22:08.119
