I can't wait 0:01:14.120 --> 0:01:22.479 to hear it. So about October of last year, so 0:01:22.520 --> 0:01:27.960 this was so this is October. I decided that I 0:01:28.000 --> 0:01:31.120 was going to get my um Martha Steward, on my 0:01:31.200 --> 0:01:35.480 Martha Steward, my Oprah Winfrey. I decided to plant tulips 0:01:36.959 --> 0:01:38.920 in the in my little like I have like a 0:01:38.920 --> 0:01:41.520 little circular driveway and in the middle there's some flowers 0:01:41.560 --> 0:01:43.360 and I was gonna plant some tulips coast. Then in 0:01:43.360 --> 0:01:46.560 the spring they were gonna like spread. So I like 0:01:47.440 --> 0:01:50.000 took my time to pick like the proper colors of 0:01:50.000 --> 0:01:52.880 the tulips that I wanted, and I placed them so 0:01:52.920 --> 0:01:56.680 that it's like one pink, one purple pink, one purple pink. Beautiful. 0:01:57.000 --> 0:02:01.400 I mean, I'm so excited. So and you did this 0:02:01.480 --> 0:02:04.280 yourself or you had the landscapers, Oh no, I just zell. 0:02:04.400 --> 0:02:06.880 Did you put them? Okay? You done the little holes? Yes? 0:02:07.000 --> 0:02:10.240 I what goes into planting tulips, Okay, So you have 0:02:10.320 --> 0:02:13.240 to get this little thing that like you put it 0:02:13.280 --> 0:02:14.840 down in the ground and you turn it and then 0:02:14.720 --> 0:02:17.239 you pull the dirt up, and then you put the 0:02:17.280 --> 0:02:19.360 ball down and then you put that dirt back on 0:02:19.400 --> 0:02:20.760 top of it. And then I have molch that I 0:02:20.760 --> 0:02:24.680 put on top of that, and then you just wait, yes, okay. 0:02:24.680 --> 0:02:26.160 And I had on like my rubber boots. I had 0:02:26.200 --> 0:02:28.320 a hat on. I really felt like I was I 0:02:28.360 --> 0:02:31.480 don't know, not Betty Crocker. I had a green thumb. 0:02:31.480 --> 0:02:33.280 I had a green thumb. I had a green thumb. Yes, 0:02:33.360 --> 0:02:37.120 I'm I'm the flower killer. By the way, So all 0:02:37.200 --> 0:02:40.080 of a sudden, like last week, I saw the tulips 0:02:40.120 --> 0:02:44.800 sprouting up rock and I'm like, oh my goodness, my 0:02:44.880 --> 0:02:47.320 hard work is bade off. And I brought my kids out. 0:02:47.600 --> 0:02:50.680 I was looking at look a little like the beginning 0:02:50.960 --> 0:02:53.560 of the stem of a tulip is popping up. And 0:02:53.600 --> 0:02:57.280 I had about oh yeah, because I had like a 0:02:57.280 --> 0:03:00.640 group of tin over here, twenty over here. Yeah, spread 0:03:00.680 --> 0:03:03.440 it out. I spread the love out. Yes. And by 0:03:03.480 --> 0:03:06.280 the way, pink tulips is my favorite flower. Okay, yes, 0:03:06.280 --> 0:03:09.080 all right, for anyone listening that wants to send them 0:03:09.120 --> 0:03:14.399 to you, yes, I mean sure, yes. Anyway, so a week, 0:03:14.480 --> 0:03:18.000 So tulips are perennials. Those are the ones that like 0:03:18.160 --> 0:03:21.480 come back every year. Yes they are. But if you 0:03:21.520 --> 0:03:23.400 really want to impress me, you would ship me some 0:03:23.440 --> 0:03:26.320 tulips from Holland. Yes. Is that where they get on 0:03:26.360 --> 0:03:28.640 your grind, that's where they're like specialized. I don't know 0:03:28.880 --> 0:03:34.760 why Holland it just sounded like important. Okay, okay, So anyway, 0:03:34.960 --> 0:03:38.240 these tulips started coming up, um three or four days later, 0:03:38.280 --> 0:03:40.200 I went to go check them again because I'm so excited. 0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:43.480 Did the deer eat them? They were eaten by the deer. 0:03:43.800 --> 0:03:51.960 They're gone. So the shady moment of my springtime are 0:03:52.000 --> 0:03:55.240 these goddamn deer. Like if I had a deer catch 0:03:55.280 --> 0:03:57.440 someone in your ring camera doing no, I didn't because 0:03:57.440 --> 0:03:58.920 it's a little too far away for me to catch 0:03:59.000 --> 0:04:01.320 them on my ring camera. Like I really, I mean, 0:04:01.360 --> 0:04:02.960 and I don't want to shoot anything in life, but 0:04:03.000 --> 0:04:05.040 I want to shoot these deer. I really do, I 0:04:05.080 --> 0:04:09.040 really do. I hate them, And you didn't like you. 0:04:09.040 --> 0:04:12.000 You totally forgot about the fact that that they're going 0:04:12.040 --> 0:04:14.400 to come into they do that. So I don't even 0:04:14.400 --> 0:04:16.520 know what to do at this point. Like my tulips 0:04:17.040 --> 0:04:19.520 are nubs. They're not. I mean, you can like barely 0:04:19.520 --> 0:04:22.160 see them coming out the ground. And I did not 0:04:22.279 --> 0:04:25.400 plant these so that it could be like dear food. 0:04:25.960 --> 0:04:28.800 My tulips are not dear food. I would be so upset. 0:04:28.960 --> 0:04:32.360 I was terror I was like traumatized. I couldn't even 0:04:32.360 --> 0:04:34.320 tell my children because they were going to be traumatized. 0:04:34.360 --> 0:04:38.919 This is just bad. Oh no, so shady deer is 0:04:38.960 --> 0:04:42.160 how I'm feeling right now. And every time I see them, 0:04:42.160 --> 0:04:45.919 I just grimace. I'm like that, oh that whatever kissed 0:04:45.920 --> 0:04:48.359 me off? Okay, I'm so sorry that. But if anybody 0:04:48.360 --> 0:04:50.599 out there does like secretly shoot deer, I'm not mad 0:04:50.600 --> 0:04:53.760 at you. Okay, animal rights people don't come after me, 0:04:53.839 --> 0:04:57.560 but like seriously, they ate my tulips. Yeah, like and 0:04:57.600 --> 0:04:59.800 then and then it sucks because like when people have 0:05:00.240 --> 0:05:02.799 gardens or flowers and they have to put the stuff 0:05:02.839 --> 0:05:05.080 to keep the deer way, it's like ugly, right, it 0:05:05.120 --> 0:05:07.719 looks crazy, right. It takes away from the beauty of 0:05:07.760 --> 0:05:09.400 what it's supposed to be. And so it's like, what 0:05:09.400 --> 0:05:11.480 are you supposed to do? Right, And it's time. It's 0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:17.080 effort and all for your munching, your your deer snack. Yeah, 0:05:17.120 --> 0:05:21.000 they ate all of them, all of them, damn. And 0:05:21.040 --> 0:05:28.840 they probably went in ship in your yards. I hate him. 0:05:28.880 --> 0:05:32.119 Oh I would be so mad. Yes, okay, yes, okay, 0:05:32.200 --> 0:05:37.279 do you have a recent I do so on Dixon 0:05:37.320 --> 0:05:39.880 recently bought a new car. Yes, he did it. You 0:05:39.920 --> 0:05:41.840 can I say what kind of it is? It's very nice. 0:05:41.880 --> 0:05:44.880 It's a BMW And he got the windows tinted. Yes, 0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:47.440 oh yeah, so you really can't see him. Yeah, So 0:05:47.600 --> 0:05:49.960 I like I saw him the other day. We were 0:05:50.080 --> 0:05:52.320 like downtown Baltimore. We were down there and I was 0:05:52.360 --> 0:05:54.960 all trying to wave and say hi, and he wasn't 0:05:54.960 --> 0:05:57.520 re finding back because because he wasn't even looking at 0:05:57.560 --> 0:06:01.920 you know, yeah, because the windows a tinted. Yes, yes, 0:06:02.040 --> 0:06:04.120 he it's it's a miracle. And my my windows at 0:06:04.160 --> 0:06:08.120 tenpted pretty dark too, but um, you know, he's and 0:06:08.120 --> 0:06:10.560 he's always gotten his windows tenant like over the years 0:06:10.640 --> 0:06:13.159 and sometimes and then against the law. It is, so 0:06:13.200 --> 0:06:15.440 the cops will stop him and and they give you 0:06:15.480 --> 0:06:19.479 like a repair order to fix it. And I don't 0:06:19.480 --> 0:06:21.520 know that he ever fixes. No, they're going to be 0:06:21.600 --> 0:06:23.640 dark until he gets rid of the car. Yeah, because 0:06:23.640 --> 0:06:25.800 he uses like the excuse like, oh well, you know, 0:06:26.480 --> 0:06:28.039 like when he was at the Wizard, Oh, I played 0:06:28.040 --> 0:06:31.960 professional basketball and somebody might see me and target me 0:06:32.080 --> 0:06:34.120 or something, you know, and so a lot of so 0:06:34.160 --> 0:06:35.760 a lot of the cops will let him go. Okay, 0:06:35.839 --> 0:06:38.719 you know, so if anyone stops me, guess what are 0:06:38.720 --> 0:06:40.520 you gonna say? Oh, I happened to be on TV 0:06:40.680 --> 0:06:46.440 sometimes and you're a target and people hate me then 0:06:46.520 --> 0:06:50.360 and you're a target for for um, for getting cussed out. Yes, 0:06:51.800 --> 0:06:53.240 they send me d m s and tell me to 0:06:53.320 --> 0:06:56.600 kill myself, so I have to protect myself. Yes, with 0:06:56.760 --> 0:07:00.200 tinted wind out. Yeah, Robin, you're getting a citation. All right, 0:07:00.240 --> 0:07:04.120 Well we'll see. So anyways, the story, I mean that 0:07:04.279 --> 0:07:06.159 my shady moment goes to one because he bought this 0:07:06.200 --> 0:07:10.200 new car and we went out to dinner. Um, I 0:07:10.200 --> 0:07:13.400 think Corey was out of basketball practice. So me, Carter, 0:07:13.520 --> 0:07:17.040 and Jan went to dinner while Corey was playing basketball, 0:07:17.600 --> 0:07:23.120 and um, we had some leftovers and almost like, yeah, um, 0:07:23.120 --> 0:07:27.200 you're not putting those leftovers in my car because I 0:07:27.240 --> 0:07:32.080 want to keep my new car smell. What oh my god. Okay, one, 0:07:32.280 --> 0:07:36.240 that is beyond ridiculous. So we cannot and so not 0:07:36.360 --> 0:07:39.280 until his new car smell goes away, we cannot bring 0:07:39.360 --> 0:07:41.800 food into his car. Okay, but wait a minute. One 0:07:41.880 --> 0:07:45.040 has had the car for what two months? Um, yeah, 0:07:45.240 --> 0:07:46.680 it should be gone. But when you go get the 0:07:46.680 --> 0:07:49.480 car washed, r oh no, no, new car smell, I 0:07:49.520 --> 0:07:52.320 feel like sticks around for like a good maybe like 0:07:52.360 --> 0:07:54.600 eight months or so really, yes, he is trying to 0:07:54.640 --> 0:07:59.600 preserve his new car smell. Right now, we can't have leftovers, 0:07:59.640 --> 0:08:02.520 we can't get to carry out, like we have to 0:08:02.560 --> 0:08:05.080 go like pick food up or something. I gotta has 0:08:05.120 --> 0:08:07.680 to be in my car. And then even like the 0:08:07.720 --> 0:08:12.400 other it's crazy. So the other day last weekend, um, 0:08:12.440 --> 0:08:14.880 his team Coppin was playing in Norfolk, Virginia in the 0:08:14.920 --> 0:08:18.000 Midak Tournament and they wand rise the bus with the 0:08:18.040 --> 0:08:19.840 team and I was going to drive his car because 0:08:19.880 --> 0:08:22.720 his cars roomy or the mine um with the boys, 0:08:23.240 --> 0:08:25.480 and I was like, you know what, I'm not even 0:08:25.480 --> 0:08:27.160 gonna do that because we're not even gonna be allowed 0:08:27.160 --> 0:08:30.560 to eat snacks. And we can't eat no you know, 0:08:31.400 --> 0:08:35.679 like like ackers, like when they get out, like with 0:08:35.720 --> 0:08:39.400 their stinky clothes, like in a bag. Can that go 0:08:39.440 --> 0:08:41.880 in the car, Like after they play basketball in the 0:08:41.960 --> 0:08:43.880 car and like they have a bag full of like 0:08:43.920 --> 0:08:50.839 sweaty clothes. I mean they're not they're not, like um, 0:08:50.880 --> 0:08:53.640 but yeah, yeah, so we can't. So so even it's 0:08:53.679 --> 0:08:55.560 to the point I think now so like if he 0:08:55.600 --> 0:08:57.840 gets Chick fil A, like he'll go to Chick fil A, right, 0:08:58.160 --> 0:09:00.520 he's actually going inside Chick fil A in sitting there 0:09:00.520 --> 0:09:03.040 and eating his chicklet. He's not going through the Chick 0:09:03.040 --> 0:09:06.200 fil A drive through. Now, one is sick. Okay, what 0:09:06.440 --> 0:09:09.880 is wrong with him? It's something wrong with him. He 0:09:09.920 --> 0:09:12.720 wants to preserve that new car smell for how long? 0:09:12.760 --> 0:09:14.840 I guess it's been a long time because the car 0:09:14.880 --> 0:09:17.720 he had, he had his Explorer for like six years. Maybe, 0:09:17.720 --> 0:09:20.520 so maybe he's like, I ain't smelled. Listen, We're gonna 0:09:20.520 --> 0:09:23.000 get him. Isn't there a spray in their new car smell? Spray? 0:09:23.040 --> 0:09:25.800 It's not the same. Oh my god, it's not the same. Yes, one, 0:09:25.840 --> 0:09:28.840 that's very shady.

No, 0:11:07.360 --> 0:11:09.200 wait a minute, So are you still using print? Do 0:11:09.200 --> 0:11:11.760 you use in your car? Yeah? My car will break down? No, 0:11:11.800 --> 0:11:14.760 but it really won't, I know, but that's what they said. Yeah, 0:11:14.880 --> 0:11:17.400 So to me, if you want to save a few queens, 0:11:17.840 --> 0:11:21.240 you could use regular. No I'm not gonna do that. No, okay, 0:11:21.240 --> 0:11:23.520 okay either. So five sixty nine is the most that 0:11:23.559 --> 0:11:26.440 I've paid in this area. Okay. So I think I 0:11:26.440 --> 0:11:27.880 told you this right. So I went to the gas 0:11:27.880 --> 0:11:31.600 station the other day and I was like protesting the prices. 0:11:32.400 --> 0:11:36.920 So I just decided I'm putting forty dollars whatever that 0:11:36.960 --> 0:11:39.040 gets me. And I told her. I was like, and 0:11:39.120 --> 0:11:41.280 you were back at the gas station like two days 0:11:41.320 --> 0:11:45.920 later days, but that was my protest. I was just mad, like, 0:11:46.040 --> 0:11:48.319 it's just not okay. When is this going to take 0:11:48.320 --> 0:11:51.840 a turn? I need to know what? Why this what's 0:11:51.880 --> 0:11:54.840 going on in Russia? Because apparently I read something it 0:11:54.920 --> 0:11:58.960 was like we only get five percent of our oil? Friend? Correct? 0:11:59.040 --> 0:12:02.959 Why is that affecting gas person. It's not they know that, okay. 0:12:03.040 --> 0:12:05.719 So somebody said there's gonna be a war and that 0:12:05.880 --> 0:12:07.800 just made all the gas prices go up, right, just 0:12:07.840 --> 0:12:10.160 they're just gouging. And then of course stock market like 0:12:10.200 --> 0:12:12.800 I don't, yes, do you check your stocks? Like? Okay, 0:12:12.800 --> 0:12:14.560 by the way, I'm so happy you asked me this. 0:12:14.679 --> 0:12:17.120 I ran into Ashley yesterday. I tell you that. Okay. 0:12:17.120 --> 0:12:20.800 So I was leaving Charles Schwab because I was um, 0:12:21.360 --> 0:12:23.520 I had to sit down with the VP, my VP there, 0:12:24.280 --> 0:12:26.760 and I bought a bunch more stock, but you know, 0:12:26.800 --> 0:12:28.800 we talked about it before I bought it, as opposed 0:12:28.840 --> 0:12:32.880 to yes, and then I was just buying more stuff 0:12:33.000 --> 0:12:36.800 of things I already have that are doing well. So 0:12:37.840 --> 0:12:39.240 you know, it's just nice to kind of like sit 0:12:39.280 --> 0:12:42.760 down and like really talk to someone who's like who 0:12:42.800 --> 0:12:45.760 has done the research, because there's so much information out 0:12:45.760 --> 0:12:48.160 there that will make your head spend as opposed to 0:12:48.200 --> 0:12:51.480 like cal calling me being like girl, let me tell 0:12:51.480 --> 0:12:53.680 you what's good but the stocks and then I go 0:12:53.760 --> 0:12:57.160 buy it right now. I really need somebody who is 0:12:58.080 --> 0:13:01.000 who is who has done the res So we sat 0:13:01.000 --> 0:13:03.480 down for like um an hour and I got a 0:13:03.480 --> 0:13:05.840 bunch of stuff and then um, I walked out and 0:13:05.880 --> 0:13:09.000 I ran into Ashley Derby doing the same thing. No, 0:13:09.120 --> 0:13:11.679 she's going to Fox five. Yes, but she you know, 0:13:11.720 --> 0:13:14.800 that's a whole another story. And um, you might see 0:13:15.040 --> 0:13:17.040 a little bit of our conversation on season seven of 0:13:17.080 --> 0:13:20.160 the Real House. Well it's a potomic Oh okay, maybe 0:13:20.160 --> 0:13:21.360 maybe not. I don't know. Was that a t you 0:13:21.640 --> 0:13:25.840 doing on Fox five? She was doing the pop culture 0:13:26.000 --> 0:13:27.439 she was doing. I don't know what. She was just 0:13:27.720 --> 0:13:31.559 like hanging out, don't. I don't know happen. It was 0:13:31.600 --> 0:13:33.559 just weird because I never see Ashley and but that's 0:13:33.640 --> 0:13:36.480 talking about yeah, Um, but I digress. What were we 0:13:36.480 --> 0:13:39.920 talking about? Um, gas prices and then and then how 0:13:39.920 --> 0:13:41.960 the stock market goes crazy? When okay, and then I 0:13:41.960 --> 0:13:45.800 went about my stocks. Um. But I think that you know, 0:13:45.880 --> 0:13:49.760 the powers that be congressmen or people, they know what 0:13:49.760 --> 0:13:53.200 they're doing, and they just feel I think at some 0:13:53.240 --> 0:13:54.679 point we all just need to say we're not doing 0:13:54.720 --> 0:13:57.440 it anymore. We're not buying gas. How are we gonna 0:13:57.440 --> 0:14:00.000 do that? I'm just gonna say, we're not buying gas. 0:14:01.200 --> 0:14:03.559 Done with these gas prices? How are we going to 0:14:03.640 --> 0:14:05.160 do that. How are we doing? I don't know, but 0:14:05.240 --> 0:14:07.920 you know clearly remember when remember was it six months 0:14:07.920 --> 0:14:13.080 ago when there was no gas? Oh, yes, there was 0:14:13.120 --> 0:14:15.840 no gas. We lost our damn minds. We were like, 0:14:16.080 --> 0:14:17.840 oh my god, we gotta find it was a whole 0:14:17.880 --> 0:14:31.240 much of none of nothing, No toilet paper, no paper, towels, nothing. Okay, 0:14:31.320 --> 0:14:35.520 speaking of Russia, So Brittany Grinder, Grinder is over there, 0:14:36.440 --> 0:14:39.760 and like, what's taking her so long to get out? 0:14:39.840 --> 0:14:41.360 Like why can't we get her out? Okay, do we 0:14:41.400 --> 0:14:44.520 have an update because the last thing I heard was 0:14:44.600 --> 0:14:48.120 that she was arrested going through So Brittany Grinder, for 0:14:48.160 --> 0:14:51.520 those who don't know, it's a w NBA basketball player. Um, 0:14:51.680 --> 0:14:54.960 she's very tall, you can't miss her. Um. So she was, 0:14:55.120 --> 0:14:57.920 and she played professionally in Russia and she probably was 0:14:58.360 --> 0:15:00.440 finished her season there and then they come over to 0:15:00.480 --> 0:15:02.160 the US and playing the w n B A right. 0:15:02.840 --> 0:15:04.840 Crazy thing is so in the w n B, A 0:15:06.040 --> 0:15:08.920 the highest paid player makes probably like two hundred thousand dollars, 0:15:08.920 --> 0:15:11.120 which is crazy, the highest paid player and the w 0:15:11.240 --> 0:15:15.000 NBA w the United States compared to you know, Steph 0:15:15.040 --> 0:15:19.120 Curry making whatever forty million dollars a year. But you 0:15:19.120 --> 0:15:23.040 know what's so crazy, what's the lowest paid NBA player making? 0:15:23.360 --> 0:15:26.680 Probably yeah, yeah, actually right, the minimum, the league minimum 0:15:26.720 --> 0:15:35.560 is definitely more than the highest. But in Russia, so 0:15:35.560 --> 0:15:39.040 so so the w NBA players they play overseas in 0:15:39.080 --> 0:15:41.240 the w n B A off season because they make 0:15:41.520 --> 0:15:44.200 they can make a million, two million dollars. Yeah, so 0:15:44.240 --> 0:15:47.040 I think Britney Grinder was making like maybe two million 0:15:47.120 --> 0:15:51.360 in Russia. Maybe one to two. I don't know. So anyway, 0:15:51.480 --> 0:15:54.200 Brittney is on her way home. She's on her way home. No, no, no, 0:15:54.720 --> 0:15:57.240 I'm telling the story. You know, she was at the 0:15:57.280 --> 0:16:01.080 airport in Russia on her way home to um come 0:16:01.120 --> 0:16:03.960 home and start her n w NBA season, and apparently 0:16:04.000 --> 0:16:08.120 they stopped her for having a vape um pin with 0:16:08.200 --> 0:16:13.040 like canniboid oil, Ye, cannabis can is it canniboid? Is 0:16:13.040 --> 0:16:17.160 a cannib what? I think it's cannabis. No, the oil 0:16:17.200 --> 0:16:21.320 they call it canniboid oil. It's not cannabis oil. They 0:16:21.320 --> 0:16:23.960 don't say that. Industries, right, I'm about to look it up, Okay, industries. 0:16:24.000 --> 0:16:29.640 Nobody says canniboid canna. They say cannabis, cannab annoid cannabinoid 0:16:29.760 --> 0:16:34.360 canna be annoyed, okay, oils and her so that so 0:16:34.440 --> 0:16:36.280 it's like it's like I mean, it's weed. It's like 0:16:36.280 --> 0:16:39.520 like a vape pin smoke weed whatever. And she's like 0:16:39.680 --> 0:16:43.680 arrested like it with no there's no way out, there's 0:16:43.680 --> 0:16:47.240 no like, okay, what is going to happen? So she's 0:16:47.280 --> 0:16:52.240 in Russian um jail, Russian jail, and they put a 0:16:52.240 --> 0:16:55.280 picture out with her, a picture of her in their 0:16:55.400 --> 0:16:59.040 presence or in their custody, but there's like no like 0:16:59.040 --> 0:17:01.320 like what are they doing to her? And then but 0:17:01.400 --> 0:17:04.040 then I read something where somebody thinks, um, it's like 0:17:04.040 --> 0:17:06.040 a Russian person over there. They think she didn't even 0:17:06.080 --> 0:17:10.160 have it, they think she was planted it or they're lying. 0:17:10.400 --> 0:17:13.480 Like I think, what the good news is we all 0:17:13.520 --> 0:17:15.240 know about it because a lot of times things happened 0:17:15.280 --> 0:17:18.160 to us black women and that ship gets sweeped under 0:17:18.160 --> 0:17:20.879 the rug and we don't even know. But I feel 0:17:20.920 --> 0:17:22.840 like Biden is on top of it. I don't know 0:17:22.880 --> 0:17:25.240 what that means. I'm sorry, don't. Russia is a whole 0:17:25.240 --> 0:17:27.159 another animal, I know, but we got to don't know 0:17:27.400 --> 0:17:30.679 if there's anything that anybody can do. Kamma need to 0:17:30.680 --> 0:17:34.360 go over there. Who who is going to Russia? Who? 0:17:34.680 --> 0:17:36.439 I don't I don't know. But she got to get 0:17:36.440 --> 0:17:38.960 Brittany got to get out of there. Can you imagine 0:17:38.960 --> 0:17:41.080 what's like what she's dealing with, what she's going through. 0:17:41.080 --> 0:17:43.199 I hope that they're not like, you know, hurting her, 0:17:43.359 --> 0:17:45.440 torturing her. I hope they're feeding her. I hope she's 0:17:45.480 --> 0:17:49.840 like healthy. I mean, this is just insane, tough news 0:17:49.920 --> 0:17:52.640 to hear this morning. W NBA start. Brittney Griner will 0:17:52.680 --> 0:17:55.680 be in detention in Russia now until at least May nineteen. 0:17:56.600 --> 0:17:59.760 Accord extended her arrest on charges of smuggling. Has she 0:18:00.040 --> 0:18:04.679 oil Grinder faces up to ten years in prison. And 0:18:04.720 --> 0:18:07.479 it's it's ridiculous, like why what is first of all, 0:18:07.560 --> 0:18:11.120 can we get to this war? What are what here? 0:18:11.200 --> 0:18:15.040 But you know this is a sad part. Okay, clear, Okay, 0:18:15.080 --> 0:18:19.679 I just heard Biden just signed one trillion dollars to 0:18:19.680 --> 0:18:22.960 go over there. No, it was eight million. It was 0:18:23.080 --> 0:18:27.879 one trillion with a t one trillion. Carlie looked at 0:18:28.000 --> 0:18:32.080 up one trillion dollars he signed and then like maybe 0:18:32.080 --> 0:18:35.679 eight hundred billion or something is allocated to Ukrainians to 0:18:35.680 --> 0:18:39.000 helping the Ukrainian people, but it's this war. Because of it, 0:18:39.240 --> 0:18:42.480 he signed a one trillion with a T deal to 0:18:44.119 --> 0:18:48.520 is onellion trillion with a T O? And what is 0:18:48.560 --> 0:18:50.639 that going to? What is that doing? What is that 0:18:50.720 --> 0:18:55.199 for defense? It's clearly it's it's clearly not for the 0:18:55.320 --> 0:19:00.520 uneducated and poverty stricken schools in this country. And if 0:19:00.560 --> 0:19:02.840 they just have money stashed away for like certain things, 0:19:03.240 --> 0:19:07.440 it's like they have a stash of money specifically for 0:19:07.520 --> 0:19:09.720 this and you can only touch it for this. Well, 0:19:09.800 --> 0:19:12.160 I don't, I don't, I don't. I don't understand why 0:19:12.200 --> 0:19:15.119 this became at one point trillion dollar, I mean one 0:19:15.119 --> 0:19:18.480 point five trained dollar problem for us? This is this, 0:19:18.480 --> 0:19:21.560 This is US money for what everyone always looks to 0:19:21.600 --> 0:19:23.720 the US to solve problems. Now, don't get me wrong, 0:19:23.760 --> 0:19:25.520 this is horrible and I want to help the Ukrainian 0:19:25.520 --> 0:19:28.000 people for sure, But to the tune of one point 0:19:28.080 --> 0:19:30.080 five I don't know what that What is that getting? 0:19:30.119 --> 0:19:33.360 What is that? What is that getting assistance to help 0:19:33.359 --> 0:19:41.040 the country defend itself against Russians, Yes, humanitarian needs and 0:19:41.119 --> 0:19:43.720 to help them fight. Okay, so okay, but long we 0:19:43.840 --> 0:19:47.040 make it stop. I wanted to stop so that's what 0:19:47.080 --> 0:19:48.520 I want to happen. This is what I feel like 0:19:48.680 --> 0:19:53.760 needs to happen. Unfortunately, Putin needs to win, did you 0:19:53.760 --> 0:19:55.720 got We gotta give him some kind of win because 0:19:55.760 --> 0:19:58.200 he's he's he's an egomaniac and he's not going to 0:19:58.320 --> 0:20:00.119 just go away unless he feels like he has some 0:20:00.160 --> 0:20:02.520 sort of win. So they just need to just be like, here, 0:20:02.560 --> 0:20:04.360 you can have it Ukraine as your no, you can 0:20:04.400 --> 0:20:06.840 have a portion, like give him, give him a city, 0:20:06.960 --> 0:20:10.320 I don't know, give him something so just can stop. Okay, 0:20:10.520 --> 0:20:14.960 that's it. Okay, that's it. That's my plan. That is 0:20:15.000 --> 0:20:17.919 my strategic military. It is so crazy. I was. I 0:20:17.960 --> 0:20:22.359 watched the Ukrainian President's addressed to the Congress today and 0:20:22.560 --> 0:20:25.600 he showed a video. Carly got something to say. So 0:20:25.640 --> 0:20:28.240 the one point five trillion is not just for that, 0:20:28.440 --> 0:20:31.160 It also averts the government shutdown. So at one point 0:20:31.160 --> 0:20:34.359 five trillion takes care of a lot, thank you, I 0:20:34.520 --> 0:20:38.560 told you. Okay, Carly clarified as I said, it wasn't 0:20:38.600 --> 0:20:41.560 one point five trillion going to the Ukraine. No, No, 0:20:41.840 --> 0:20:44.800 I read it was eight million. Still a lot of money. 0:20:44.840 --> 0:20:47.480 But so the one point five trillion was just something 0:20:47.520 --> 0:20:50.160 that he that was just that's a bill or something 0:20:50.160 --> 0:20:52.600 he sent, he signed for a whole bunch of stuff, 0:20:53.400 --> 0:20:57.639 most of it going to causes in the United States. 0:20:58.040 --> 0:21:01.040 I don't like any of it. Okay, yes, I don't 0:21:01.040 --> 0:21:04.040 like any but okay. So he showed this video of like, 0:21:04.640 --> 0:21:07.880 you know, it was like the just position the Ukrainian president, 0:21:08.359 --> 0:21:11.320 the juxtaposition of like the country, the beautiful country, people 0:21:11.440 --> 0:21:16.480 enjoying its smiling families, next to like, yes, the devastation, 0:21:16.520 --> 0:21:19.879 the buildings being bombed, the kids crying, the you know, 0:21:20.000 --> 0:21:22.160 dead bodies, and it was just like, it is so 0:21:22.200 --> 0:21:26.320 insane that this is a modern day country in two 0:21:26.400 --> 0:21:28.720 and this is they're going through this. I cannot imagine it. 0:21:28.840 --> 0:21:31.680
