Speaker 1: We're gonna laugh a little bit today. We're gonna learn
Speaker 1: little bit, We're gonna talk a little smack. Let me
Speaker 1: start off light. Let me just say how proud I
Speaker 1: am of l A's new mayor, Karen Bass. She will
Speaker 1: be sworn in this Sunday by the one and only
Speaker 1: Vice President, Ms. Kamala Harris. So if you guys are
Speaker 1: in town, if you got the invite, you can go
Speaker 1: to the swearing and I won't be here in New Orleans.
Speaker 1: M hm um yeah. I mean it seems like a
Speaker 1: lot has happened in the world since we've been busy. Oh.
Speaker 1: One of my favorite shows that I catch every morning,
Speaker 1: I catch well, I catch too. Oh my god, this
Speaker 1: dog has drove me crazy. Two shows, Good Morning America
Speaker 1: and of course I watched my bff. She's not I'm
Speaker 1: not her bff, but she's might bef might heat Miss
Speaker 1: Gail King. But Amy Robot from Good Morning America and
Speaker 1: t J. Holmes were apparently who both were married but
Speaker 1: both are getting divorced divorces were caught in a love scandal.
Speaker 1: They won't They were called frattenizing with one another. That's
Speaker 1: and that is a that is a policy that is
Speaker 1: not sit well with ABC. They were doing some strange
Speaker 1: things on the weekends Baby and the after parties Baby,
Speaker 1: and they got caught and they I don't think that
Speaker 1: they were reckless. I just you just never know what
Speaker 1: the Papa Rizzi is. And they had pictures of him
Speaker 1: with his hands on her butt, and and the wife
Speaker 1: then came out and said that he was with And
Speaker 1: that's who I feel. See. I don't know Amy robots situation,
Speaker 1: but I do know when she was fighting cancer, her
Speaker 1: husband's right there with her. He never left her side.
Speaker 1: He and then t J. Holmes wife, whose birthday was
Speaker 1: in August or septemberso as recently as that, they spent
Speaker 1: that day together. They've been getting a divorce for a minute,
Speaker 1: but they spent the time together. So t J. Holmes
Speaker 1: is a busy little beaver. What the TJ staying for? Well,
Speaker 1: I'll just say this, if you're not doing it behind
Speaker 1: closed doors, you were being reckless. I mean the fact
Speaker 1: that you were doing it in the first place. She
Speaker 1: was being reckless. Okay, but yes, people cheat, but there's
Speaker 1: a way to cheat. That's all I'm gonna say. You
Speaker 1: out with all. I'm saying you out in public, rubbing
Speaker 1: her booty, being you know, showing pd A in public
Speaker 1: for you to get caught. It's almost like y'all wanted
Speaker 1: to get caught. If y'all were just gonna be cheating,
Speaker 1: y'all needed to cheat private. So clearly it's giving y'all
Speaker 1: wanted to get caught and t J. Holmes, you're married
Speaker 1: to a whole attorney. Yes, she may be an immigration lawyer,
Speaker 1: she may not have that particular area where she practices.
Speaker 1: She's still an attorney. She's got friends, that's all I'm
Speaker 1: gonna say. So, yes, that's what it is. It was
Speaker 1: not smart on his behalf at all. So let me
Speaker 1: just let me just box it up. And you black player,
Speaker 1: and she ain't. She ain't white. But if you ain't black,
Speaker 1: it's still in this country. It's still like a leg
Speaker 1: of I hate to say that, but that's how it is.
Speaker 1: Excuse me, it's very scary. And I'm t J. Hulmes.
Speaker 1: What what's so sad is t J. Holmes waited his
Speaker 1: am to get that position on Good Morning America because
Speaker 1: for years they would just use him as an afterthought.
Speaker 1: To me, just here a stepping in, a filling in,
Speaker 1: a replacement, and then he finally gets a morning anchor position,
Speaker 1: and baby, the power of the poo Nani said stop
Speaker 1: in the name of love. You ain't keeping this job
Speaker 1: because they have taken them both off the air, and
Speaker 1: with all this candle, my biggest issue and I'm gonna
Speaker 1: say it publicly. My biggest issue was with a statement
Speaker 1: that I heard that they allegedly Robin Robert supposedly said
Speaker 1: that she didn't want to return to work with all
Speaker 1: that scandal going on because she didn't like that in
Speaker 1: the workplace. But here's the issue, Robin, you have been
Speaker 1: very transparent about everything, opening with your sexuality and everything,
Speaker 1: and nobody judged you could teach you and major feels
Speaker 1: some kind of way you shouldn't even have nothing to
Speaker 1: say about that that had nothing to do with you.
Speaker 1: That's what I don't like. I'm telling you. It is
Speaker 1: so many double standards in this world. But hey, I
Speaker 1: don't work as at ABC because you would catch me
Speaker 1: friend Nazon with um well not anymore because he don't
Speaker 1: work to Chris. If Chris Cooma was there a while
Speaker 1: baby well well, I also saw that they said, you know,
Speaker 1: they weren't going to pull them off the air because
Speaker 1: unless the ratings were affected, their ratings skyrocketed since the
Speaker 1: whole cheating scandal broke. But as of this morning, they
Speaker 1: pulled them, you know, temporarily. Who knows what's going to
Speaker 1: happen off the air. But that article I read. I
Speaker 1: know exactly what the article you're talking about. It was
Speaker 1: supposed that the people in the workplace, we're talking about
Speaker 1: it and they couldn't get their jobs done. And I'm like,
Speaker 1: what yours gossip? Everybody got the rich people got support
Speaker 1: people cause everybody gossips, and that was got to be
Speaker 1: And they both cute. It would be different. One of
Speaker 1: them's funny looking, but they're both pretty people serious. Please
Speaker 1: just here when they can do it in front of
Speaker 1: the mirror, because we were like, oh, I can look
Speaker 1: at this because you imagine people in the mirror doing it.
Speaker 1: The mirror just turned around, like I can't look at
Speaker 1: this ship. This ship is really I'm not looking at
Speaker 1: this ship just crack, horrible flame and real horrible. Well,
Speaker 1: speaking of people being reckless, let's slide into um, this
Speaker 1: uh political candidate. I don't know what else to call him,
Speaker 1: dropt but um herschel Walker has been uh caught saying
Speaker 1: uh very peculiar things. I'll say um. He recently called
Speaker 1: his runoff election and erection, which I think could also
Speaker 1: show where his mind spaces. Uh. And then in addition,
Speaker 1: he had a very elaborate speech that included vampires versus werewolves,
Speaker 1: in which he would prefer to be. Uh. And mind you,
Speaker 1: this is the Republican candidate for Senate for Georgia. Did
Speaker 1: you see your ex president but your best president? The
Speaker 1: ex and best president say he had those same thoughts too,
Speaker 1: but he was seven years old. I did. I did
Speaker 1: see President Obama say that. President also said I would
Speaker 1: like for him to be either one he wants. I
Speaker 1: want him to be whatever you want. I just don't
Speaker 1: want him to be a United State senator. Yep said,
Speaker 1: I'm telling you both my titty and my penis and
Speaker 1: my testos all hit the ground at the same time. Oh,
Speaker 1: it was a beautiful thing. I was walking down dragon
Speaker 1: through this house. This is laughing learning did a mic
Speaker 1: drop with him. Okay, I dropped, and the balls dropped
Speaker 1: and the booze dropped, and there was a lot of
Speaker 1: swinging challenge. Baby. I was dragging it through the house
Speaker 1: like the old ball and chain the wife the ball
Speaker 1: and chain. He had me, you know, Lauren, and I
Speaker 1: thought after we took control of the Senate the Democratic
Speaker 1: Party that they were realized he has embarrassed him so
Speaker 1: much they would just let him loose. But I see
Speaker 1: that the governor. They just came out and still and
Speaker 1: spoke up for him. So inside Scoop, I have this
Speaker 1: happened probably right after the election, Mitch McConnell supposedly reached
Speaker 1: out to Brian Kemp and asked him to endorse and
Speaker 1: support herschel Walker, which obviously, for obvious reasons, that was
Speaker 1: a smart reason to do because he did beat Stacey Abrahams.
Speaker 1: So there was you know, a or you know, a
Speaker 1: portion of his constituency that they're hoping could you know,
Speaker 1: turn their support over to herschel Walker. So, you know,
Speaker 1: in a political space, in a campaign, that makes sense,
Speaker 1: but the fact that it's it's the doubling down for me,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And I've even seen some
Speaker 1: other Republican you know politicians say that, you know, the
Speaker 1: Kelly Lofflers would have been you know, better candidates, you know,
Speaker 1: even though she was caught you know, stealing money, you
Speaker 1: know from the stock market and things like that. But um,
Speaker 1: he's just a really bad candidate. But it's almost like
Speaker 1: they're so far into it now there's nothing more that
Speaker 1: you can do other than support herschel Walker on the
Speaker 1: Republican end. So one point nine million people voted for
Speaker 1: him the first time. If those same one point nine
Speaker 1: million people vote for him, that's really gonna show what's
Speaker 1: wrong with this country. I'm so sorry because anybody that's
Speaker 1: calling an election and erection brother the state of George.
Speaker 1: It's the state of Georgia. I ain't gonna get it here.
Speaker 1: Because if he was running for something in the whole country,
Speaker 1: I think more people would be like, no, y'all can
Speaker 1: y'all can have that down in Georgia. That ain't That
Speaker 1: ain't working everywhere else. It's just not gonna fly. It's
Speaker 1: so sad too, because when I thought we couldn't be
Speaker 1: more he's not embarrassing me because he don't represent me.
Speaker 1: Let me just say that. But when I just I'm
Speaker 1: just saying, as a black person in this country, when
Speaker 1: we thought we couldn't be more embarrassed, it's hit people
Speaker 1: like him and some of the so many others that
Speaker 1: will say some the most or do the most outlangish
Speaker 1: ridiculous stuff. And I thought I was embarrassing because I
Speaker 1: had titties in a venus. Good God, it way worse
Speaker 1: than me. Uh Well, I also think too, on a
Speaker 1: medical end, I really think that herschel Walker suffers from
Speaker 1: ct I really do um and even the way that like,
Speaker 1: I've talked to my dad sometimes about him, you know,
Speaker 1: because we talked about politics sometimes, but he was just
Speaker 1: explaining to me how badly this man used to get
Speaker 1: hit and you know in football, and how they would
Speaker 1: still give him the ball. He could have people with
Speaker 1: people knew he was getting the ball and they were
Speaker 1: still giving it to him, and he was getting tackled
Speaker 1: by crazy and he was playing during a time where
Speaker 1: you know, protective gear wasn't up to par, so he
Speaker 1: really might be suffering from CTE. But you know, they're
Speaker 1: using him as a puppet. So it's I think he
Speaker 1: did when he was part of the NFL, is what
Speaker 1: you're saying. They used him the end there are using
Speaker 1: the hell out of him. Now. Damage will be the
Speaker 1: state of Georgia and US if he becomes the United
Speaker 1: States Senator. Ye are totally make better decisions black folks
Speaker 1: in this country, I say, and make better decisions, uh
Speaker 1: of stealing money, since you brought it up, because I
Speaker 1: wasn't gonna say nothing about steal the money because I
Speaker 1: had just rowed this twenty from this girl. But she
Speaker 1: didn't know I had uh stealing money Brett Farve, who
Speaker 1: has not been in the news for stealing more than
Speaker 1: six million dollars from the state of Mississippi, but to
Speaker 1: stay for some strange recent everybody seems to be upset
Speaker 1: and from this state of Mississippi and so many other
Speaker 1: people in the world with Dion Sanders because he broke
Speaker 1: bad and left Mississippi football. What was it Jackson saving? Yeah,
Speaker 1: he left Jackson safe to go to uh Colorado. Listen.
Speaker 1: So I've got some mixed feelings about this. While yes,
Speaker 1: I know that you know, coaching staffing, anything related to
Speaker 1: sports administration standpoint, change is inevitable. Change is always gonna happen.
Speaker 1: What I've heard about is that Dion Sanders really got
Speaker 1: an amazing group of young men together, led them, coached them,
Speaker 1: and his coaching wasn't just about being on the field,
Speaker 1: but he coached them off the field as young black
Speaker 1: men in this world. Thank you. He was at a
Speaker 1: historically black college. You know, he stepped up in the
Speaker 1: midst of when Jackson was having their water crisis. He
Speaker 1: protected those boys. He actually put love, time and caring
Speaker 1: to them. And recently, even with the new year that's
Speaker 1: happening a lot of you know, some of those young
Speaker 1: recruits out of high school decided to go to UM
Speaker 1: Jackson State because of Dion Sanders. And he's leaving now
Speaker 1: to go to College Colorado, which is the p w
Speaker 1: Y and the money for his contract isn't even guaranteed
Speaker 1: on his end. And then but the university came out
Speaker 1: today and said that they actually don't have the money yet.
Speaker 1: They're still working on it, but he's already agreed to leave.
Speaker 1: So my whole thing is, like I said, I know,
Speaker 1: change is inevitable, it's going to continue to happen in
Speaker 1: these spaces, but just to we need leaders like him
Speaker 1: for those young black men, and the fact that he's
Speaker 1: leaving them to go, you know, to a p W
Speaker 1: I it just I don't want you. Sorry, I don't like,
Speaker 1: I don't like. I don't like the wishy washing and
Speaker 1: stuff at all. That's what I was like, Deon Neon.
Speaker 1: Dion been a public figure being in sports for many,
Speaker 1: many years, and I agree with you long he did
Speaker 1: wonderful things down there for Jackson State to turn them
Speaker 1: boys around, and everybody, like you said, everybody think it's
Speaker 1: on the field. It was that off the field ship
Speaker 1: that helped those boys, talking to them boys, lifting them up,
Speaker 1: making them know how powerful they are is not just
Speaker 1: black men, but me and period in this country. Reminding
Speaker 1: them of what the capacities or who they are and
Speaker 1: what they possessed to be better leaders for this country.
Speaker 1: And then you jumped ship because of money that you
Speaker 1: don't even guarantee to have. That is the old adage
Speaker 1: a burden hands worth two in the bush. But Deon
Speaker 1: Santez was always iffy, let's be very honest. He was
Speaker 1: always like tricky dick. Yeah, and on top of that,
Speaker 1: he led them to championships too. I think they actually
Speaker 1: just won their Southwestern Conference whatever it's called. They just
Speaker 1: won their championship for a second year in a row.
Speaker 1: So they or he was already established with him. Those
Speaker 1: boys were comfortable with him, they knew him. They got him,
Speaker 1: He got them. But then let me tell you that
Speaker 1: money with them checks baby, but like you just say it,
Speaker 1: it's a check, but it ain't even guarantee a check.
Speaker 1: That's my thing. I don't understand if you're leaving because
Speaker 1: you know everybody. I don't like to be in nobody's pockets. No,
Speaker 1: we never know somebody's financial situation, so and I don't
Speaker 1: know the specific reasons that he's leaving. So i'd understand
Speaker 1: if you had to leave because you need some money
Speaker 1: or whatever the situation may be. But this money ain't
Speaker 1: even guaranteed. So why are you leaving these boys? What
Speaker 1: was the reason? So I don't get more of a
Speaker 1: select your phone? Maybe I don't know. Can talking about
Speaker 1: on the field, well, speaking too, of craziness in the
Speaker 1: sports arena, um, I would say, what around oh yeah, Thanksgiving?
Speaker 1: Right around Thanksgiving? A photo of Cowboys the Dallas Cowboys
Speaker 1: owner Jerry Jones surfaced where he is actually standing not
Speaker 1: at Central High and Little Um in Little Rock, Arkansas,
Speaker 1: but at North High North Central High, excuse me UM,
Speaker 1: which was a different school, and he's actually an aggressor
Speaker 1: and an agitator of young black students trying to come
Speaker 1: into school and integrate. Now, Jerry Jones came out and
Speaker 1: said his coach told him not to go. He went anyway,
Speaker 1: and he was there just because he was curious. He
Speaker 1: actually wasn't an agitator, that was that was his excuse
Speaker 1: for being there. He was curious and just wanted to
Speaker 1: see what was going on, UM, but he didn't actually
Speaker 1: know the whole um In denounced of what was happening,
Speaker 1: which we all know is bs. The media is not
Speaker 1: really um crucifying it him for it. You know, Kyrie
Speaker 1: Irvan was crucified for making so called anti semitic comments
Speaker 1: from post the link on you know, his social media
Speaker 1: to a movie that's on Amazon, which Amazon CEO also
Speaker 1: said he's not taking down mind you, And UM people
Speaker 1: are giving Jerry Jones grace and saying it was sixty
Speaker 1: six years ago, he was fourteen years old. Why are
Speaker 1: we trying to, you know, hold this man accountable and
Speaker 1: all these things, so which I find very interesting. So
Speaker 1: the the double standard is is very evident. And I'll
Speaker 1: also just s this out to the Dallas Cowboys. They
Speaker 1: never had a black coach. So oh, they never have
Speaker 1: a black coach. That's all I'm saying. UM. I love
Speaker 1: the fact that Lebron James publicly spoke up and spoke
Speaker 1: out because he did say some disparaging things about Kyrie Irving.
Speaker 1: I think Carrie Irvin um got a bad rap. But
Speaker 1: I think that they stand with him, Like we said before,
Speaker 1: they didn't stand with Colin Kaepernick. Either. But um um,
Speaker 1: because it happened sixty six years ago, you may not
Speaker 1: be as angry about it now. But because it came
Speaker 1: out publicly and because of this new whole, woke cultural
Speaker 1: society that we live in, they are holding people feet
Speaker 1: to the fire for ship that happened two thousand years ago.
Speaker 1: They're gonna come be mad at Jesus because he wore
Speaker 1: sandals in the same Good God. They just I'm not
Speaker 1: giving a man a past, Lauren, But it was sixty
Speaker 1: six years ago, and you know, I am the first
Speaker 1: black bitch to to stand up for us. But it
Speaker 1: was a long time ago. I love the fact that
Speaker 1: he admitted that the coach told him not to go
Speaker 1: and he went anyway. I'm not bad in the fact
Speaker 1: that he said that he was curious. I'm not mad.
Speaker 1: I'm I'm thinking that you went because if some went down,
Speaker 1: you might have jumped in and been been part of that.
Speaker 1: But it was a very long time ago. If to
Speaker 1: be fair, I'm only being fair, and I hate that
Speaker 1: we hold people to faith be to the fire of
Speaker 1: the ship that happened a long time ago, because if
Speaker 1: that's the case, we are gonna be in trouble. We've
Speaker 1: always said some crazy stuff, maybe not so much racist,
Speaker 1: but crazy. Well, I'm gonna have to disagree with you
Speaker 1: because so you ain't staying on the bare Well. I
Speaker 1: have to disagree with you only because I think when
Speaker 1: it comes to issues of racism, um series of events
Speaker 1: are cumulative, so that him being there is indicative of
Speaker 1: behavior that he's probably practiced in his adulthood. We see
Speaker 1: a lot of times there are a lot of owners
Speaker 1: of these you know, basketball teams, football teams that they
Speaker 1: turned out to be extra ringly racist, their families are
Speaker 1: extremely racist, and it's not until they're actually you know,
Speaker 1: put out into the open where they're like, okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: we gotta sell the team. We can't on the team
Speaker 1: anymore because there's been so many instances of that. My
Speaker 1: thing is the double standard of oh it's not that
Speaker 1: big of a deal because it was that long ago. Well,
Speaker 1: that one incident coming up could be indicative of what
Speaker 1: he's done for the past sixty six years. Like I said, Cowboys,
Speaker 1: I never had a black coach, never had to head
Speaker 1: black coach. Why is that a lot of what staff?
Speaker 1: Ai'm black, so they you know who I think they
Speaker 1: should talk to A lot of players that have been
Speaker 1: up under him while being on team because they were
Speaker 1: no firsthand, because they had to experience it. That might
Speaker 1: be yeah, I mean, I'm sure, but that's my whole thing.
Speaker 1: I'm not in the space of giving this man grace.
Speaker 1: You did what you did, and it seems like you're
Speaker 1: just trying to cover it up and make sure it's
Speaker 1: not that big of a deal. And the fact that
Speaker 1: people in the media, like the stephen A. Smith's and
Speaker 1: other people saying that it was sixty six years ago,
Speaker 1: why is it that big of a deal. It is
Speaker 1: a big deal. It is because it's because it would
Speaker 1: be a huge deal. Why with Kyrie Irving Nike for instance,
Speaker 1: today just advertised with him over this whole anti Semitic thing.
Speaker 1: His deal with Nike is done. Where where are the consequences?
Speaker 1: He's not getting any consequence? Why because he owns the
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys. John James for speaking up, because he definitely
Speaker 1: dropped the ball with Kyrie, But I appreciate him saying
Speaker 1: something in a press conference about this and showing and
Speaker 1: showcasing the double standards. So shout out to him for
Speaker 1: doing that. Who the racism in America has gotten out
Speaker 1: of control? Who did it? Lauren? Who did it? Joe? Listen?
Speaker 1: And if we're gonna continue on this racist issue, let's
Speaker 1: do it. Um, there was an incident at Buckingham Palace
Speaker 1: um where all men and I'm going to look up
Speaker 1: her name so that way I actually say are goods
Speaker 1: name and not just say a woman not with the
Speaker 1: queen or not with the queen. The queen has already
Speaker 1: transit the Queen consort. We we gotta give her, give
Speaker 1: her the correct title Queen Consort. Um incident. I know
Speaker 1: the story to whether reporter kept asked her where are
Speaker 1: you really from? Where are you really from? Where are
Speaker 1: you really from? Right? So, a member of the Buckingham
Speaker 1: Palace Um household has resigned after she inflicted racial comments
Speaker 1: at Camilla's Queen Consort event. And it was basically to
Speaker 1: raise awareness of violence against women and girls. So um,
Speaker 1: there's basically the story goes. An honorary member of Buckingham
Speaker 1: Palace has resigned after she repeatedly asked a black woman
Speaker 1: who runs a charity for survivors of domestic violence abuse
Speaker 1: what countries she came from, despite her insistence on that
Speaker 1: she was a British national so they detailed the conversation
Speaker 1: where she asks this young woman, you know, um, so
Speaker 1: where are you from? And she goes, I'm British national. No,
Speaker 1: but where are you from? And she goes, ma'am, you
Speaker 1: know I'm from Britain. I'm from Britain. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: but like where your parents from? And she goes, oh,
Speaker 1: my parents integrated here in the fifties. She goes, ah,
Speaker 1: there it is, you're your Caribbean. So she kept pushing
Speaker 1: and pushing and pushing, which just showcase, you know, the
Speaker 1: fact that you're just gonna be blataney racist in my face.
Speaker 1: And I also saw some reports that when she first
Speaker 1: walked up to her her locks were actually covering I
Speaker 1: guess her name badge or a pin or something she had,
Speaker 1: and this Buckingham Palace staff member pushed her hair to
Speaker 1: the side to try and see, you know, who she
Speaker 1: was and where she hailed from. So um, but you know,
Speaker 1: the royal family is not racist. So there's oh they're
Speaker 1: not racist, Lauren, they're real. They're royal and rico. All
Speaker 1: those are speaking of royal and regal. Um who was here?
Speaker 1: Will you? And was just here? They were in um
Speaker 1: they were in Boston were President Biden. Well that's the
Speaker 1: other funny part. Two. They went to the Boston Celtics
Speaker 1: game basketball game. While they were there and um Jalen Brown,
Speaker 1: who was a player for the Boston Celtics, was asked
Speaker 1: the question during the post press um event after the
Speaker 1: game was over and said, how did it feel to
Speaker 1: have you know, Princeton, Prince the Princeton and Princess of
Speaker 1: Wales here? And he said it was just a regular
Speaker 1: game for him. And one of the coaches act was
Speaker 1: asked a similar questions that you know, how did it
Speaker 1: feel to have a royal family here? And his response was, Mary,
Speaker 1: Jesus and Joseph were here. I did not know that.
Speaker 1: So reporters of course laughed and he said, well, that's
Speaker 1: the only royal family that I recognized. So now let
Speaker 1: me ask you a question. Was that a white who
Speaker 1: said that? Or a black guy's back. He's one of
Speaker 1: the black coaches on the Celtics coaches and go after him?
Speaker 1: What was that going out? Go after him about because
Speaker 1: were black? Well, not not that, not that part, but
Speaker 1: he said Mary, Joseph, Mary, Mary Jesus and Joseph and
Speaker 1: not Katie William because you know been if they if
Speaker 1: they could have came out of my mouth, it would
Speaker 1: have been all hell would have broke loose. Why don't
Speaker 1: you gotta be roying where they are? Roy, don't you
Speaker 1: read your Bible and the Bible coming all different languages,
Speaker 1: you can read that ship in every language. Well, no,
Speaker 1: they didn't get any backlash, and I thought that the
Speaker 1: energy and responses were very valid. I chuckled. So the
Speaker 1: world is coming to an end. I'm moving to Canada.
Speaker 1: Canada gonna be the the only country that's standing when the
Speaker 1: world comes to an end. But this's co white folks.
Speaker 1: I like it really quick. I just want to go
Speaker 1: back to the Buckingham Palace incidents. So the woman that
Speaker 1: made the racist comments, her name was Lady Susan Hussey,
Speaker 1: which I think her last name is hilarious um. And
Speaker 1: the hussy yes. And the woman that was, you know,
Speaker 1: on the receiving end of these offensive marks, her name
Speaker 1: is nagozie Fulani. So I'm glad that Lady Hussey has
Speaker 1: now resigned for her offensive remarks towards So if the
Speaker 1: lady the other lady would say look at here, hussy,
Speaker 1: it wouldn't have been a read because that is her Actually,
Speaker 1: oh that should have been me up and then looking here, Hussy,
Speaker 1: I think it's the delivery of it all. Well, wow, damn,
Speaker 1: I'm so glad we're not doing anything k W today
Speaker 1: because it's just too much. It's just out of control.
Speaker 1: It's just out of control. Well, the last thing that
Speaker 1: I wanted to bring up is Donald Trump. Yes, we
Speaker 1: have to talk about Donald Trump because he's all over
Speaker 1: the news. Well, since we say issues, and you brought
Speaker 1: up Donald Trump before you go to your story, he
Speaker 1: did not speak up a k W at all. After
Speaker 1: he did not he called me a demented man who
Speaker 1: happens to be black. That's what Trump called um, Mr West.
Speaker 1: You know that really hurts my feelings though, because let
Speaker 1: me tell you, why what do I always say when
Speaker 1: I started my comedy, I'm a comedian. That happens to me.
Speaker 1: So yes, he said Mr West was a demented man
Speaker 1: who happens to be black. So this is the same
Speaker 1: man who jumped on his lap and he was the
Speaker 1: greatest president. He was the first black president. He wore
Speaker 1: the head and woo woa that. Uh yeah, okay, come
Speaker 1: on a Lauren, let me move that to the side.
Speaker 1: Let's get to Donald Trump. No, but I think all
Speaker 1: of that was valid though, because you know, Mr West
Speaker 1: also asked Donald Trump to be his vice president. Did
Speaker 1: you see that? Absolutely not. It has never got Donald
Speaker 1: Trump will never be his vice president because he will
Speaker 1: never be the president. Well, Cason point. That's why you know,
Speaker 1: he had to come out and make all these statements
Speaker 1: because Mr West brought a lot of right winged um,
Speaker 1: bigoted and among other things, additional folks to this meeting
Speaker 1: that Trump claimed he knew nothing about. But anyway, that's
Speaker 1: neither here nor there. Um. Recently, Donald Trump, though, did
Speaker 1: come out and say that, you know, he was against
Speaker 1: the Constitution and that we should do away with it
Speaker 1: so that what he could become president again. M hmmm.
Speaker 1: Is that what it's going to take him to become
Speaker 1: the president again? I mean, I don't see what other
Speaker 1: avenue he probably has. But um, a lot of Democrats
Speaker 1: the White House came out and you know, denounced what
Speaker 1: he said, and the expectation was that other you know,
Speaker 1: GOP folks officially need to separate from him because he's
Speaker 1: trying to invalidate the Constitution and that's you know, the
Speaker 1: biggest treason of all. So, uh, but doing away with
Speaker 1: the constitution would also mean that we could make President
Speaker 1: Obama the president again. Huh, we couldn't, but like, I
Speaker 1: don't know how Michelle would feel about that because oh
Speaker 1: and also to let's just take a quick moment. I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: let's do some black girl magic um praise real quick.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you've seen these photos of Michelle
Speaker 1: Obama while she's out on her book tour. But our
Speaker 1: good first, forever first lady, I should say, is rocking
Speaker 1: some beautiful goddess braids in different hairstyles, and she's giving
Speaker 1: me all the black girlma and the heel there nobody
Speaker 1: to do that but a black woman jigon and some
Speaker 1: and this is was no tight jogging suit. This was
Speaker 1: like one of the jogging TuS that you really work
Speaker 1: out the hit, you know, I said that, ain't nob
Speaker 1: the Southside woman all day of day long. Babs giving
Speaker 1: her best life. She is giving um, she's glowing, it's vibrants.
Speaker 1: It's just it's all the things that we need right now.
Speaker 1: So Michelle Obama looks beautiful on her tour and whoever
Speaker 1: did her braids? I know, sis is getting a lot
Speaker 1: of referrals right now, So you know that pre that
Speaker 1: rockety baby. If Michelle a five hundred of them braids,
Speaker 1: them braids are not five thousands, I mean she should shoot.
Speaker 1: It's inflations of nine percent right now. Yesterday's price what
Speaker 1: not today's price. That guy said it first. Yesterday's price
Speaker 1: is not today's price. So but anyway, so a little
Speaker 1: years coming to an m laughing line, I see it.
Speaker 1: It's almost what we got nine episodes, eight episodes left.
Speaker 1: I think we got about eight episodes left. Yes, indeed,
Speaker 1: so we're going we are, we are coming back next season. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but we're coming back to politics. Only Oh well is
Speaker 1: looking crazy? What the candidates and we don't know what's happening,
Speaker 1: I think. And let me go back to something that
Speaker 1: you said I meant to to talk about, because when
Speaker 1: you said Ms McConnell called Brian Kimp to ask Miss
Speaker 1: McConnell needs brand Kemp and in his left hand piety
Speaker 1: because according to the Senate, where we even seen on
Speaker 1: the news, they want to get rid of Ms McConnell.
Speaker 1: So Ms McConnell needs an ason hole or if he
Speaker 1: wants to hold that seat. Yeah, it's all about strategy
Speaker 1: and its board. That's exactly what it is. It's just board,
Speaker 1: just moving different just pieces. So do you think that
Speaker 1: mc uh what's his name? Mac? Um McVeigh is his
Speaker 1: nack mcveige. No, not Timothy McVeigh. What's his name? What's
Speaker 1: his name? In the damn GOP didn't want to be
Speaker 1: the new uh speak the leader of the Senate. Um,
Speaker 1: it's it's not Mac Gates. I think he were going
Speaker 1: towards Mac Gate's. His name is Mac somebody or another,
Speaker 1: not Mac. That's the first name. His last name is mac.
Speaker 1: Kevin McCarthy is the When I said Mac, I'm thinking
Speaker 1: big Mac. But I met McCarthy. M McCarthy is trying
Speaker 1: to become the House speaker and apparently he has the
Speaker 1: votes to do so. Um, so we'll see. But I'm
Speaker 1: trying to think the name of the individual it's escaping me,
Speaker 1: challenger for Mitch McConnell's seat. Um m, it was Robert.
Speaker 1: I can't believe um. And speaking of speaking of the seats,
Speaker 1: because I'm I'm gonna tell you what I'm so, what's
Speaker 1: his name? That's what it is. I'm so bummed about
Speaker 1: Nancy Pellos. I'm grateful for Nancy Blos for all the
Speaker 1: years of service that she served in the government and
Speaker 1: Speaker of the House. And I hate the way that
Speaker 1: they have and still such a fear in this woman
Speaker 1: because I don't believe it was it might have been
Speaker 1: time for her retire. I'm not going to beat that up,
Speaker 1: like the way that they went about it, because I
Speaker 1: think they used a fear tactic. I think they scared
Speaker 1: this woman by trying to kill her husband to saying,
Speaker 1: you know what, enough is enough. I'm done with this.
Speaker 1: They're eighty two years old, they're senior citizens, that is
Speaker 1: a senior citizen in every country, and she stepped down.
Speaker 1: But I love the fact that a brother, a black man,
Speaker 1: Kim Jefferies, has gotten this position. And from what I've
Speaker 1: been looking at for his politics and his policies, I
Speaker 1: think he's gonna be good for the American people. Let
Speaker 1: me say of that good for black people too, but
Speaker 1: really good for the American people. Well, I've always liked
Speaker 1: Hakim Jeffries. Um I'm very happy for him. One because
Speaker 1: has he actually been confirmed to this seat yet, Yes,
Speaker 1: it hasn't been sworn in, but he has been confirmed
Speaker 1: to the seat Okay. So I'm very happy about that
Speaker 1: because I actually think he's the first UM black person
Speaker 1: to hold this seat. I don't know if the black
Speaker 1: person to hold this so, which is very important at
Speaker 1: this point in time. Representation. Representation is important. But he's
Speaker 1: you know, been on several committees that have been you know,
Speaker 1: integral parts of implementing change within the House. So um,
Speaker 1: I'm very happy for him. And I think that it
Speaker 1: was a good secession plan. I'll say that for sure.
Speaker 1: But I've said a while ago I thought that it
Speaker 1: was time for Nancy to step down. You know, we
Speaker 1: need to be getting some young blood in these spaces, um,
Speaker 1: because you know, like I said, nothing is constant but change.
Speaker 1: So I'm happy with that secession plan for sure. Wow. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I just don't like the way that they did it.
Speaker 1: But you know, I love my net Pelosi. That's my baby,
Speaker 1: and I was I was ready gonna fight that man.
Speaker 1: They broken her house. Baby, I was ready to go.
Speaker 1: He could come on with his hammer, because he got
Speaker 1: his hammer. I got mad, That's very true. My hammer
Speaker 1: got booked. But I got mad. Uh So, and this
Speaker 1: something never dune moment in America with politics. No, it's
Speaker 1: not It's never a dull moment at all. Never. And
Speaker 1: I just say this publicly because I don't know who's
Speaker 1: listening to this show, who hears us, and who's not.
Speaker 1: But I would not frednize with any employees at ABC.
Speaker 1: If I was that morning anchor on Good Morning America,
Speaker 1: could you see me every morning said good morning America, girl,
Speaker 1: I would wake good Morning America. Speaking of waking up
Speaker 1: Good Morning America. Shout out to the wonderful Angela Yee,
Speaker 1: who has got her own new show on I Heart.
Speaker 1: Who's she's the sister? I don't because we all work
Speaker 1: in My Heart, and she moved away from the Breakfast Club,
Speaker 1: and I know they have openings. They're looking for new
Speaker 1: people to put put it in, So we're gonna it's
Speaker 1: gonna be interesting to see which direction they go with
Speaker 1: this whole breakfast club thing going. I think you should
Speaker 1: go along. You were good on there. I looked at
Speaker 1: you the other day on there. Ch'ad stop playing anyway?
Speaker 1: Um oh, let me tell you something about you. Let
Speaker 1: me let me tell you something. Don't you first? I
Speaker 1: would never let you discredit you. I knew you always
Speaker 1: had a sharp mouth on you. But you remember with
Speaker 1: this job you feel then one day, girl that se
Speaker 1: fits you perfectly. You. You were on there use a
Speaker 1: little low key because it was about me, but when
Speaker 1: it was your time to shine, when I said, oh
Speaker 1: you got to float this all you girl, you took over.
Speaker 1: You would be because you're your unknown name. As far
Speaker 1: as uh you know stardom and the sharp and you
Speaker 1: you you would be a good addition on the show. Lauren, Well,
Speaker 1: I appreciate you thinking so highly of me. Thank you,
Speaker 1: But I will just say the same thing back to you.
Speaker 1: If anybody needs to be on that show as you,
Speaker 1: you'd bring controversy with Shoot, the ratings alone would go
Speaker 1: up because as many haters as you got in the world,
Speaker 1: they'd be tuning in just to criticize you. So listen,
Speaker 1: So we're gonna say this out loud. Flame needs to
Speaker 1: fill that spot because you are diversity, equity and inclusion.
Speaker 1: You check all the boxes exactly, check all the boxes
Speaker 1: so agency exactly. You know what, if they publicly I'm
Speaker 1: gonna say, if they if they offer me the position
Speaker 1: and everything falls into place, of course I would love
Speaker 1: to have that position because I would look at it
Speaker 1: like opening up the world to be able to be
Speaker 1: more accepting to everybody. My presentation is different. But I
Speaker 1: see the world and I see people. I don't see
Speaker 1: what I want you to be. I see who you are,
Speaker 1: and I listen to what you have to say to me.
Speaker 1: Hopefully you will see what I get back. I second that,
Speaker 1: And I think the other thing that you missed out
Speaker 1: of that is at your fair. You don't when you
Speaker 1: want to have a conversation with somebody, you are actually listening.
Speaker 1: You're not waiting to talk, and you're not coming from
Speaker 1: a defensive place. You're fair. And that's what we need
Speaker 1: at this point in time. We don't need hostility and anger,
Speaker 1: you know, we need to be able to have conversations
Speaker 1: to actually get things done. So but no, my a,
Speaker 1: my h G. Weik and I'm going on the starting
Speaker 1: all kinds of ship now you know who ah g
Speaker 1: and issues are. You're gonna scream, you know who it is,
