Speaker 1: How was your visit with mom Lauren Flame? You both
Speaker 1: started the show just talking about people who may or
Speaker 1: may not have their mothers. I just I just go back.
Speaker 1: I realized this weekend. I've always known it. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: just so incredibly blessed. It's it's it's amazing. But I
Speaker 1: tell you, we also thought about because Lauren you just
Speaker 1: kind of touched on this, we thought about the moms
Speaker 1: who maybe have lost their children because we've seen so
Speaker 1: many black men die at the hands of Not to
Speaker 1: take the show in that direction, you know what I'm
Speaker 1: saying there, But you have to know that there are
Speaker 1: a lot of moms out there right now who are
Speaker 1: hurting too. Um So we just, you know, we just
Speaker 1: did a little prayer with that, and we are My
Speaker 1: mom was like, Nick, you told me I would get
Speaker 1: a chance to chat with Flames, So we kept bugging Flame, Flames.
Speaker 1: Nick I was trying to order chairs, would you stop?
Speaker 1: So but we did get a chance to chat with Flame,
Speaker 1: and I really try to call y'all back, But y'all,
Speaker 1: you just kept calling me at the most inconvenient time.
Speaker 1: So Ms. Rosette, I promised it wasn't that nick or
Speaker 1: at you, y'all, just nick timing was off. Ms. Rosetta.
Speaker 1: Let me just tell you, I love but we had
Speaker 1: a great time and uh, just a little inside baseball flame.
Speaker 1: I employed the tactics that you and I talked about,
Speaker 1: and it could not have it could not have gone better.
Speaker 1: So thank you. No, no, don't, don't don't say that.
Speaker 1: Tell the truth. You listen to me. Tell the truth.
Speaker 1: I told you what to do, and you listened. That's
Speaker 1: exactly what I just You don't always listen to me.
Speaker 1: Let me let me just make it clear for y'all,
Speaker 1: because we've been knowing each other thirty years. This nigger
Speaker 1: don't always listen to me. But he listened to me
Speaker 1: this weekend. And he had a great visit with his
Speaker 1: mom because mother Valcher had told him sit back and
Speaker 1: shut the hell up. And guess what he did. And
Speaker 1: you guys, let me tell you some nick is the
Speaker 1: videos that you guys put out. Your mom looks so
Speaker 1: happy to have her baby. She I was more excited
Speaker 1: for Hutheran for you because she was so smiley faced
Speaker 1: and just joyous that she had a big old baby back.
Speaker 1: Because you know, you're number the biggest. Lauren, how was
Speaker 1: yours because you spent it with your mom too. I did.
Speaker 1: My mother's day was good. Actually, miss I love miss Marsha,
Speaker 1: So I actually took her out to her favorite sushi spot, myself,
Speaker 1: her and my dad. We all went to the favorite
Speaker 1: sushi spot with Sky, who was my little four pound yorkie. UM.
Speaker 1: So we all went out and had sushi outside together.
Speaker 1: It was listen, we can talk about timmy, I want
Speaker 1: to do all right, Okay, but no, we had a
Speaker 1: really great time. We went and um had some sushi.
Speaker 1: It's one of her favorite sushi spot. She hasn't been
Speaker 1: outside in a long time just because of COVID and
Speaker 1: things like that. So you know, it was a really
Speaker 1: good uh you know, it was just a nice time
Speaker 1: and it was a special time. So I'm really grateful
Speaker 1: for that, and it would go for all. It was
Speaker 1: just a good mother's day. She got some gifts and
Speaker 1: some flowers and so yeah, okay, so if we were
Speaker 1: talking to you, if we're talking to you, but we're
Speaker 1: looking this were we're looking at the camera because we're
Speaker 1: trying to focus more on the camera for the video
Speaker 1: now then so we still hear you and we're talking
Speaker 1: to you, but we just focused for not ignoring you.
Speaker 1: We promised and you and I, You and I have
Speaker 1: talked about that before. So I'm getting on my case
Speaker 1: kinda over here, fight me triple about to slap the
Speaker 1: ship out of me. I don't know what to do,
Speaker 1: and my house is a household, but but but it
Speaker 1: looks a flame. I really liked that hair. This is
Speaker 1: my Sharing Underwood hair. I'm a mid I'm in the
Speaker 1: middle of a Sharon Osborne and uh Sheryl Underwood. So
Speaker 1: if they need a replacement, I'm a combo. I'm sure
Speaker 1: Sharon man replaced. And the ratings have tanked. Now you
Speaker 1: do the map, Okay, when we're going this week because
Speaker 1: we're talking about some things. Yeah, so actually we're gonna
Speaker 1: start with a young lady named Mikayla Miller. And it
Speaker 1: was interesting that this came up because Flame and I
Speaker 1: actually had an offline conversation about something that happened with
Speaker 1: Izzy this week. Um, for those that you guys that
Speaker 1: don't know Izzy is Flame's oldest daughter, and it's really
Speaker 1: about bullying. So do you want to start with Okay,
Speaker 1: So Mikayla Miller. Um, she was a sophomore at Hopkinton
Speaker 1: High School and she had got into a fight with
Speaker 1: her girlfriend and other teens and she actually and as
Speaker 1: a result of said fight, she ended up dead. Um
Speaker 1: And so according to her mother, so she spoke of
Speaker 1: just of her disappointment with the police investigation because her
Speaker 1: daughter was lgbt Q, she was a lesbian and when
Speaker 1: this whole incident happened, the police basically said, it's better
Speaker 1: that we probably sleeped this under the rug because your
Speaker 1: daughter's sexuality is going to come out in this investigation.
Speaker 1: And the real kind of Kulda grav This is the
Speaker 1: three teens that ended up fighting Michaela Miller and ended
Speaker 1: up causing her death for three white girls, and Michaela
Speaker 1: Miller was a fifteen year old black girl in the
Speaker 1: Boston area. Um, So we're just going to open up
Speaker 1: the discussion really about bullying, what's happening in the world today.
Speaker 1: Come on, Nick, give me yours because you ain't never
Speaker 1: had a fight. So when I get into it, I'm
Speaker 1: going hard and deep, you just have you never been
Speaker 1: in a fight, Nicholas has never been in a fight.
Speaker 1: The only time I was in the fight Lawrence in
Speaker 1: the military, and that was someone else starting you don't leave,
Speaker 1: you know, a fellow soldier, you know, tithing. But no,
Speaker 1: I've never I've never had a situation where I had
Speaker 1: had to fight. Um. But but again, I also didn't Um.
Speaker 1: I also didn't start stuff. I've always minded my own business,
Speaker 1: you know. Um. And then for the most part, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm a bigger boy, so I've never had anybody picking
Speaker 1: on me, you know. So they're just a number of things.
Speaker 1: And I also didn't run with people who were bullies,
Speaker 1: so you didn't pick on other people. So UM, this
Speaker 1: is probably, um, the I think most contentious time right now,
Speaker 1: because I think that kids flame and I've had this conversation,
Speaker 1: aren't allowed to leave what happened at school at home.
Speaker 1: So I think that what happens in a situation like this,
Speaker 1: particularly uh, this particular, um, young lady, the if I
Speaker 1: understand correctly, Lauren, there was a lot happening also on
Speaker 1: social media, and it just it seems like these things
Speaker 1: continue to just fester and it grows so people aren't
Speaker 1: allowed to leave that problem at school, go home, have
Speaker 1: a weekend with your family, and maybe let things die down.
Speaker 1: The bullying continues through social media. Well, I don't even
Speaker 1: know if the social media component is at the forefront.
Speaker 1: I think it more so has to do with one
Speaker 1: that she was gay, black female and she was murdered. Really,
Speaker 1: she was lynched because she was found hanging from a tree.
Speaker 1: So she was lynched by these three white teenagers, and
Speaker 1: the police in the area tried to sweep it under
Speaker 1: the rug. It was more so it wasn't until her
Speaker 1: mother another like Black Lives Matter activists had come out.
Speaker 1: Now all of a sudden, the d A is trying
Speaker 1: to step in and make things right. So I think
Speaker 1: it's more so geared towards racism and the you know
Speaker 1: how racism is taught. Really at this point, that's what
Speaker 1: I more so I think the root of this is
Speaker 1: and not so much the social media component, because the
Speaker 1: question goes, well, why is her sexuality, like why is
Speaker 1: that even a factor in the investigation, like just those
Speaker 1: different elements. Is more so that hate is really taught nowadays,
Speaker 1: and we just see it festering into the younger generations.
Speaker 1: That's more so what I'm what I'm taking is the
Speaker 1: forefront of this issue. But go ahead, you know what's
Speaker 1: messed up about that is and when you look at
Speaker 1: how the police are doing this. If you remember the
Speaker 1: movie Boys Don't Crab, the Hillary Swank won an oscar
Speaker 1: for the police did the same thing to the character
Speaker 1: in that movie and said that why are you walking
Speaker 1: around with boy clothes? Why are you dressed like a boy.
Speaker 1: You know, you can't question my life and who I
Speaker 1: am and why I'm living the life that I am,
Speaker 1: even if I'm fifteen. That's not your fucking business. That's
Speaker 1: the first thing. The second thing is I don't want
Speaker 1: them to make this LGBT because I don't know if
Speaker 1: this is necessarily LGBT. This could be like you said
Speaker 1: on racism, it could be a combination of things. It
Speaker 1: could be LGBT and racism. But these were teenage, fifteen
Speaker 1: year old girls. I'm not understanding that you don't have
Speaker 1: one person in your life, mother, administrator, teacher, counselor preachers
Speaker 1: that you can talk to with a trust to tell
Speaker 1: me that I'm being But I've been bullied before, so
Speaker 1: I know, but it was different things. So with the
Speaker 1: whole internet thing. And I talked about this before all
Speaker 1: these keyboard gangsters. A hundred people can get on here
Speaker 1: right now and tell me they don't like me. I
Speaker 1: don't know a hundred people. What you think about me.
Speaker 1: Don't mean shipped to me because I don't know you.
Speaker 1: You don't mean anything. You could die now and I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go have a burger. And I'm not saying celebrating
Speaker 1: your death. But if I don't know you, it does
Speaker 1: not affect me. So if y'all taken that the way
Speaker 1: I said it then and taking it the wrong way,
Speaker 1: I don't care. This my ship. Uh, And this ain't
Speaker 1: even Love Lounge. Um, it's very sad that this girl
Speaker 1: had to experience that and that the parent didn't step
Speaker 1: in because you see when your children are being bullied. Now,
Speaker 1: I went up to the school. I talked about this
Speaker 1: on Love Lounge the other day or on Live or something.
Speaker 1: I had to go up to the school because is
Speaker 1: he had to go pick up some things. Her boyfriend's
Speaker 1: ex girlfriend invited her to come to a fight. My daughter,
Speaker 1: the dumb dumb went up there to meet the girl
Speaker 1: to go get a fight, but the girl had four
Speaker 1: other girls with her. What that little helper did not
Speaker 1: know was that is these crazy trendy daddy was with her.
Speaker 1: And trust me, I'm not even gonna argue with you.
Speaker 1: If you these little girls would have put that they
Speaker 1: were seventeen eighteen, my daughter could have been just what
Speaker 1: this little girl was ended up dead, not hung from
Speaker 1: a tree because these was a little black girls, but dead.
Speaker 1: I would have beat the ship out of those little girls.
Speaker 1: Council culture, you mad. I'm telling you that you have
Speaker 1: to take presidents over your children because protocol. Protocol does
Speaker 1: not always work. Going to the teachers, reporting to the principle,
Speaker 1: talking to somebody, sometimes they don't do anything. It doesn't work,
Speaker 1: and your kids still end up being hurt. And these
Speaker 1: kids ain't fighting fairly. Now these kids will cut your
Speaker 1: face or stab you. People are dying from bullying. Bullying.
Speaker 1: I used to get my ass swoop in grammar school.
Speaker 1: I WoT plenty of asses too, But it was just
Speaker 1: a fight on Monday. On Tuesday, we meet mugged each other.
Speaker 1: On Wednesday, we were smiling with each other. On Thursday
Speaker 1: we were speaking again, and on Friday we were friends
Speaker 1: all over again. It's not like that now it's not,
Speaker 1: and it's not because nobody is taking to control. And
Speaker 1: this right here where we are on the social media internet,
Speaker 1: all of this is the biggest bully to me. Starting
Speaker 1: let let's go back forward. Let's go back for the
Speaker 1: last four years, social media was the biggest bully for
Speaker 1: the number one person in the country. And according to reports,
Speaker 1: Michaela had been involved in the physical altercation the evening
Speaker 1: before her body was found, but that the teenagers present
Speaker 1: had not been to the area where her body was discovered. Uh.
Speaker 1: This is from forensic evidence that is being recovered right
Speaker 1: now in the investigation. UM, and I guess testimony in
Speaker 1: alibis that they may have had Uh. They said that
Speaker 1: authorities are still waiting for the medical examiner to determine
Speaker 1: Michaela's manner and cause of death, and they're still waiting
Speaker 1: on the results of forensic testing and sampled items found
Speaker 1: in the area. I'll tell you what I had. Somebody
Speaker 1: in my inboxes tell me flame, you can't be fighting,
Speaker 1: no girl, you still a man. I should then him
Speaker 1: and I would have put this wig on and been
Speaker 1: a full all man. And to me, it's been a
Speaker 1: chentry and dragon looking lovely. But those little girls would
Speaker 1: not put their hands on my door because I would
Speaker 1: have clocked their heat. I'm not promoting violence, but if
Speaker 1: you're a parent, you need to take care of your children.
Speaker 1: You need to watch over your keys. These kids not playing,
Speaker 1: and some of these kids parents encouraged them to do
Speaker 1: wretchy things to other keys, horrible things. I don't encourage
Speaker 1: my children to go out to fight. Defend yourself. Longe
Speaker 1: had a bully an issue she told me about and
Speaker 1: she was pushed and push and push. When you push
Speaker 1: anybody's back to a wall, they have no other option
Speaker 1: but to sink or swim. Most of us will come
Speaker 1: out swing it. I would slap the ship out your kid,
Speaker 1: and then you know it could be kindergarten. You want
Speaker 1: to uh, okay, well, well I'll just say this for
Speaker 1: me and like like, my parents never encouraged me to fight,
Speaker 1: but my mom was very clear, don't you ever lose
Speaker 1: a fight either, So pick and choose your battles. You
Speaker 1: know we say that, pick and choose your battles. But
Speaker 1: I was never going to be bullied. And this one
Speaker 1: instant that flame is talking about, this girl was much
Speaker 1: bigger than me. She was hefty, and I think we
Speaker 1: kind of talked about this on the show. I don't
Speaker 1: know how you know, she was fat. I don't know
Speaker 1: how hard she could swing, so that the bitch was fat,
Speaker 1: just calling out and I didn't know how hard she
Speaker 1: could swing, so I was like, well, I'm athletic, you're not.
Speaker 1: So I ran her around the schoolyard, so she had
Speaker 1: an asthma attack. Pick and choose your battles. You just
Speaker 1: gotta pick and then you know, and I have actually,
Speaker 1: you know, put some people and choke cold and things
Speaker 1: like that. But you know, you gotta do what you
Speaker 1: gotta do. Lauren's a big bitch. Let me tell you
Speaker 1: a big bitch. Lad's about six too, So Lauren's a
Speaker 1: big bitch. Don't get it to his thick bottom line.
Speaker 1: I don't fight fair, and you don't you ever lose
Speaker 1: a fight. Okay, those were my mom's things. You don't
Speaker 1: fight fair and don't lose the fight. And I tell
Speaker 1: my kids the same, don't fight, don't start the fight,
Speaker 1: but fight back, which is what we need to do
Speaker 1: as black Americans right now. All this marching and talking
Speaker 1: and protests, we gotta fight back. Veno Diva says, yes, flame,
Speaker 1: I have gone to the school and found the little
Speaker 1: boy who was picking on my little girl and told
Speaker 1: him I would cut his thing, his effing hands off,
Speaker 1: his mama, daddy and his whole family. So it looks
Speaker 1: like you're right. Don't don't play that at all. Well
Speaker 1: I'll say this too. If my mama ever came to
Speaker 1: the school, the whole staff was scared. They were like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, mi's holking, what's wrong? What's wrong? Why
Speaker 1: are you here? You didn't want my mom coming up
Speaker 1: to the school. Okay, everybody knew run for cover because
Speaker 1: some ship's about to happen. You know what's funny about that.
Speaker 1: When we were children and we had those parents that
Speaker 1: would come up and be aggressive that because they were
Speaker 1: so overprotective of their children, all of us would be like, well,
Speaker 1: your mama doing too much and wo But now as
Speaker 1: a parent, you understand that now I didn't do enough,
Speaker 1: because I'm telling you heads will roll messing with me.
Speaker 1: Don't mess with my children because I didn't raise those kids.
Speaker 1: Now they talking. You can't you even agree to that
Speaker 1: when we were in school that you really just didn't
Speaker 1: do that, Like if the teacher told you like you
Speaker 1: didn't talk back to teachers any of that, you know?
Speaker 1: To me, I surely did. I would tell the teacher
Speaker 1: to shut the hell up talking to me quickly. That
Speaker 1: was That was my threat. Like, you want to talk
Speaker 1: to me crazy, trust my mom will be here at
Speaker 1: three o'clock to handle you. That was my threat. And
Speaker 1: I knew that my mom was showing up. It's your faults, Marsha.
Speaker 1: So it's your fault, miss marsh because this thing right here. Shoot,
Speaker 1: that mouth comes in hand. That good mouth always works.
Speaker 1: We're talking about okay, yeah, lord, it went left room.
Speaker 1: It's sad, though, because the girl is fifteen and she
Speaker 1: would and apparently she was very comfortable with her sexuality.
Speaker 1: She was open about it, she was free. She was
Speaker 1: comfortable enough in her house and in the city and
Speaker 1: the school that she went to to be who she
Speaker 1: wanted to be. It's just too much going on in
Speaker 1: the world. And I didn't even know about the lynching part.
Speaker 1: I really didn't that just oh it just shut up, flame,
Speaker 1: my bro, You're gonna get canceled for real. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: hold that thought. We don't do it at Love Lounge
Speaker 1: and a parallel to it, I know in some ways
Speaker 1: it was used as a comedy, but it kind of
Speaker 1: reminded me of the get Out of the movie get Out,
Speaker 1: because I don't remember, I don't I'm not for sure
Speaker 1: sure about it, but I believe that the um that
Speaker 1: Mikhayla Miller's girlfriend was white. So um, it kind of
Speaker 1: reminded me of the movie get Out a little bit
Speaker 1: because it's interesting that, you know, all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: they started this fight and then these three white teenagers
Speaker 1: rolled up on her and then she ends up dead.
Speaker 1: It was just it was a little eerie for me.
Speaker 1: So um, Like I said, I know the facts of
Speaker 1: the case or coming out still, but this goes to
Speaker 1: what we've been talking about in terms of distrust between
Speaker 1: the community and the police and even really the d
Speaker 1: a's office at this point, because a lot of people
Speaker 1: are blaming the d A for negligence in this case
Speaker 1: of trying to sweep it under the rug. So I
Speaker 1: don't even know if the community is going to trust
Speaker 1: the investigation at this point and if they're going to
Speaker 1: decide to do an independent investigation. I didn't read some
Speaker 1: reports about that too, that you know, Black Lives Matter
Speaker 1: was going to assist the family in doing that. But
Speaker 1: it's just it's sad and it's tragic, it really is.
Speaker 1: There's just no other way to put it. I smell
Speaker 1: being crump. I smell uh Revenel shops, and I just
Speaker 1: smell it. I feel it all over this case. I
Speaker 1: smell it. I mean, they may end up doing that,
Speaker 1: you know, and it's just like we just talked about,
Speaker 1: you know, Macaya Brian a couple of weeks ago, and
Speaker 1: it's like, now we have another young black you know
Speaker 1: child that's being murdered, marching in protest and they ended
Speaker 1: up y'all. I'm sorry, marching in protest is not enough.
Speaker 1: It's just not getting anything done. In fact, we're going backwards. Nick,
Speaker 1: do you have any final thoughts before we said going
Speaker 1: into a lighter topic that I think we can all laugh.
Speaker 1: I think that what what we will do, um, what
Speaker 1: we'll do at the end of the show, Lauren, in
Speaker 1: the description, I'm going to make sure that we include
Speaker 1: uh like a resource something for suicide prevention or l
Speaker 1: g B t Q. I aware what it was, she
Speaker 1: was comfortable with, who she was, she was happy. We
Speaker 1: don't they're just saying we don't know that yet. Flame
Speaker 1: they don't know that she may have hanged herself. That all,
Speaker 1: that's still part of their investigation. That's what they're talking about. Now.
Speaker 1: I'll just say this on that front, because I remember
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, a gentleman ended up paying
Speaker 1: from a tree in Piedmont Park and they tried to
Speaker 1: say it was a suicide. I don't know any black
Speaker 1: people that would just willingly go into a public space
Speaker 1: and hang themselves from a noose. I'm just gonna say that,
Speaker 1: I don't know anyone who would commit suicide. So I
Speaker 1: think the mental health and so I'm saying, I think
Speaker 1: that we need to make sure we just provide a resources.
Speaker 1: All I was saying, I was not trying to challenge
Speaker 1: the status quo. No, niggas don't, don't can like that.
Speaker 1: But you do know somebody who commits suicide. You know me,
Speaker 1: you know Lauren, you know your friend, you know your mom.
Speaker 1: Anybody could be put in that position to where they
Speaker 1: feel like there is no way out. So I understand
Speaker 1: what you're saying with that one, but I don't believe
Speaker 1: this girl hung ourselves. Not at fifteen. First of all,
Speaker 1: black people, that's too much time for us to think
Speaker 1: about it when we want to off ourselves and need
Speaker 1: to go quickly, well, we can't think about it again.
Speaker 1: So if you jump off the bridge or you blow
Speaker 1: your brains out, not not we're not We're not encouraging suicide.
Speaker 1: But as black people, it can't take a long time.
Speaker 1: You know, we you know, we were stickless for time.
Speaker 1: We you know, we were slaves. We didn't even want
Speaker 1: to watch this. We didn't know it was having to
Speaker 1: quick to they say it was Quinn time. So that's
Speaker 1: why it was why black people ain't on time, because
Speaker 1: we didn't have watches. We had to wait for somebody
Speaker 1: to say it was Quinn's I'm trying to bring it
Speaker 1: back around. I do understand what you're saying. I do
Speaker 1: not believe that this young lady hung herself. And that's
Speaker 1: part of the issue too. I'm going to say, it's
Speaker 1: with the narrative and the distrust because for them to
Speaker 1: even try and paint that narrative that this young black
Speaker 1: girl went out into the open and you know, willingly
Speaker 1: put herself up on a noose, it's just it's ludicrous.
Speaker 1: Let's give us too much time to rethinking, like, oh,
Speaker 1: I don't think I want to go this way, because
Speaker 1: what if my own look cute and not that my
Speaker 1: nick go this way? That woman. You know, if I'm
Speaker 1: gonna do, I'm gonna jump out for bridge and therein't
Speaker 1: gonna be no water at the bottom anyway. UM. So,
Speaker 1: on a lighter note, I think that something we can
Speaker 1: actually laugh about is let's talk about Rudy Giuliani because
Speaker 1: we didn't. We didn't get to talk about him last week.
Speaker 1: So Nick, do you have that synopsis in front of you?
Speaker 1: Were don't need to dig a little since you brought
Speaker 1: up LGBT, let me say that I'm not saying that
Speaker 1: Rudy Giuliani's LGBT, but he likes to wear women's clothes, makeup, hair,
Speaker 1: and dresses. I do too, so Kaitlyn do too. So
Speaker 1: come on all right? Oh, former U S attorney UH
Speaker 1: says that Rudy will be forced to face the truth.
Speaker 1: H Rudy Giuliani's office and home in Manhattan were rated
Speaker 1: UH for the level of this search warrant to be
Speaker 1: issued and approved by a judge, there has to be
Speaker 1: reasonable cause to believe that there's evidence that can be
Speaker 1: obtained from that location. UH that is either supporting or
Speaker 1: can exonerate the charges leveled against the accused UH, the
Speaker 1: accused in this case being UH Mr Giuliani. Not only that,
Speaker 1: they also talked about how the bar for this warrant
Speaker 1: in this particular situation was even higher because this was
Speaker 1: not just an attorney, which is hard to get in
Speaker 1: a search warrant against, but this was the personal attorney
Speaker 1: of the most powerful man in the United States. It's
Speaker 1: also important to mention that this investigation started under the
Speaker 1: last administration. This has nothing to do with the Biden administration.
Speaker 1: The only reason it's tied to the Biden administration is
Speaker 1: because of our current UM Attorney General Merrick Garland, who
Speaker 1: is following through with a case that already started its
Speaker 1: investigation under the Trump uh administration. So they believe that
Speaker 1: the idea behind collecting these electronic devices from his home
Speaker 1: and his office have to be germane to a crime,
Speaker 1: because a judge would not have signed off on a
Speaker 1: warrant for someone of that status and that stature were
Speaker 1: it not credible. Well, I think the funny part of
Speaker 1: this is is one UM this is now the second
Speaker 1: personal attorney for Donald Trump that has had their homes
Speaker 1: rated because exactly to Joe Biden knew nothing about this.
Speaker 1: He got the news when this broke that everybody else did.
Speaker 1: He got at the same time that we did. And
Speaker 1: more importantly, um Rudy has been going on a Fox
Speaker 1: News rampage talking about how this was unjust and unfair
Speaker 1: and is actually damaging his case. So New York's once
Speaker 1: beloved mayor is really going downhill these days. Well, then
Speaker 1: his own daugh to come out and say that something
Speaker 1: was wrong with him, that she wouldn't vote for him,
Speaker 1: and didn't his own daughter do that? Yeah, what else
Speaker 1: do you need to know? She lived in the house
Speaker 1: with him. She knows her father. When your kids living
Speaker 1: in the house with you, they know you better than
Speaker 1: anybody else. The if she gave us its warning before destruction,
Speaker 1: that's in the Bible. She gave us a warning child
Speaker 1: the destruction was coming. I have no sympathy for real.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't give a funk if he was three hundred
Speaker 1: years old and they put him in prison by himself
Speaker 1: for the rest of his life, I wouldn't. He didn't
Speaker 1: care about the American people. Every lad he could think of.
Speaker 1: When Donald Trump was in office, he told every lad
Speaker 1: got on TV publicly and blasted everybody to cover up
Speaker 1: Donald Trump. There is no I have no empathy, no sympathy,
Speaker 1: no nothing for him. Put the nigger in jail, give
Speaker 1: him a dress and no mirror, and give him some
Speaker 1: makeup and no mirror, so he would never know what
Speaker 1: the fun you look like, cause we don't care what
Speaker 1: he looked like. No way, Uh, that's my opinion. I
Speaker 1: don't care. Let's even take that step further flame. This
Speaker 1: is someone I think has fallen in spectacular glory. He
Speaker 1: was America's mayor. You remember when that was his moniker,
Speaker 1: his nickname he made after nine eleven. You know, he
Speaker 1: came out front. He symbolized what I think many people
Speaker 1: needed in this time of tragedy. Right, someone leading us
Speaker 1: through all of this. I could have seen a Rudy
Speaker 1: Giuliani being uh the favorite son of New York. Statues, libraries,
Speaker 1: buildings named after him, none of that. He has so
Speaker 1: severely damaged his legacy. I believe with his uh he
Speaker 1: still rants about the election being stolen from President Trump.
Speaker 1: There's just so many things that you sit back. Any
Speaker 1: reasonable person would say, Mr Giuliani, why are you doing this?
Speaker 1: Why did you stake everything you worked for on this
Speaker 1: particular person. The latest thing with all of this flame
Speaker 1: is um he's had to a lay off staff because, uh,
Speaker 1: Lauren you you may have read this as well, because
Speaker 1: he's broke. He's bleeding through money. I saw Mark made
Speaker 1: a comment talking about me money sugar daddy. You can't
Speaker 1: have a broke sugar daddy, Mark. He doesn't work that way.
Speaker 1: We go ahead, Nick, Sorry, yeah, idea of hand you want,
Speaker 1: you want one with a little change, and I think
Speaker 1: he has nothing but change now and that's the problem.
Speaker 1: So yeah, so it's just Wednesday, last Wednesday, now finish, Nick,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, No, that was just it that federal investigators
Speaker 1: on Wednesday sees cellphones and computers from Rudy Giuliani, the
Speaker 1: former mayor of New York who became President Donald Trump's
Speaker 1: personal lawyer. They're stepping up their criminal investigation into his
Speaker 1: dealings in Ukraine. So this is all tied to Ukraine,
Speaker 1: which again fell under the Trump administration. I've seen some
Speaker 1: people saying this is Biden, uh, exacting revenge. President Biden
Speaker 1: has nothing to do with this at all. I bet
Speaker 1: you he can't call Donald Trump will alone. Well, the
Speaker 1: thing is he's made a phone call to Donald Trump,
Speaker 1: and apparently Trump is not taking his calls, and publicly
Speaker 1: Trump is just saying, that's a terrible situation for Rudy.
Speaker 1: He's doing what he always does, He's casually distancing himself
Speaker 1: because the other scenes, it seems like the other shoe
Speaker 1: that's about to drop is now our previous Attorney general.
Speaker 1: Bar is also being investigated for being disingenuous in terms
Speaker 1: of why he was even able to be in that seat.
Speaker 1: His statements that he made to Congress before he was
Speaker 1: actually um assigned that position was misleading. He wasn't being
Speaker 1: honest about what he did. So now Bar is also
Speaker 1: being investigated too. But just history lesson. There's a long
Speaker 1: history between I'm gonna just say Jeffrey Epstein, bar Bar's father,
Speaker 1: Donald Trump. So this completely non secretary here quickly. You
Speaker 1: just mentioned Jeffrey Epstein and I read an article that, uh,
Speaker 1: supposedly Melinda Gates had a real problem with him, like
Speaker 1: did not like him, and that that was the reason
Speaker 1: that was another one that she did not like Bill's
Speaker 1: closeness to I'm like, wow, I didn't even think they
Speaker 1: knew each other. It seems like everybody in that circle
Speaker 1: kind of all. You know, there's just a so so background.
Speaker 1: And I know a lot of this stuff because my
Speaker 1: mom was born and raised in New York. But um
Speaker 1: Bar's father was actually the head or, he was the
Speaker 1: dean of an all girls school that was actually in
Speaker 1: New York, and he ended up hiring Jeffrey Epstein as
Speaker 1: a teacher then even though he lacked credentials, he had
Speaker 1: no credentials whatsoever, and knew of the sex scandals that
Speaker 1: were happening with Epstein, these younger um children females that
Speaker 1: were there. That's how the relationships started. So as things evolved,
Speaker 1: of course Bar became friends with Epstein as well. And
Speaker 1: then you throw Trump into the mix, and all of
Speaker 1: a sudden we have these large scale, you know, sex
Speaker 1: trafficking rings that are happening. So it's very deep and
Speaker 1: very rooted. For sure, Trust and believe Bill Gates will
Speaker 1: pay Melinda whatever she wants, because Melinda gonna no way
Speaker 1: more than she's supposed to. I think that's going to
Speaker 1: be an amicable spit like Jeff Bezos and his wife. Well,
Speaker 1: the tea is the day that Melinda filed for divorce.
Speaker 1: Bill Gates had just given her two billion dollars two Now,
Speaker 1: Bill Gates is worth a hundred and eighty billion. I'm
Speaker 1: just saying he casually the fact that she casually got
Speaker 1: two billion dollars on a random day. Who knows how
Speaker 1: much money she actually has. She casually got two billion
Speaker 1: dollars just on a random day. Girl was and I
Speaker 1: believe and help me here, but I believe that she's
Speaker 1: rather accomplished as well, right, Lauren. She wasn't just a trophy. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: he wasn't gonna marry some dumb female, Like, let's talk
Speaker 1: about it. They've been married a very long time. And
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, yeah, and she's not seeking spousal support.
Speaker 1: So that just goes to how much money Bill has
Speaker 1: probably given her over the years, how much stock she has,
Speaker 1: and just be all of the different organizations he's actually
Speaker 1: created for herself. She's like, I don't need his money.
Speaker 1: I got two billion dollars a dad, you know, file
Speaker 1: for divorce. My personal conspiracy is she stayed up, she's sick.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you something about how thin the line
Speaker 1: is between genius and lunacy and being very rich, because
Speaker 1: he's not very rich, he's ridiculously rich. To a point
Speaker 1: where he can bad people, own people, and do what
Speaker 1: he wants to do with people. He didn't ran out
Speaker 1: of things to do. He didn't turn to me. He
Speaker 1: has turned into a mad scientist. And he said it
Speaker 1: in twenty eleven. I told you all that if you
Speaker 1: go back and look at his thing, he said that
Speaker 1: the world was overly populated by three million people. Baby
Speaker 1: Melinda probably sick of he manned up all this farm
Speaker 1: land and doing a whole bunch of stuff. My conspiracy.
Speaker 1: This ain't got nothing to do with laugh and learn.
Speaker 1: This ain't gotta never do Nicko Lran. It's my ship.
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I think that Nigga and lost his cheese
Speaker 1: and slay off the cracker because of money. It's not
Speaker 1: the money, it's the power. It's the he'd had money
Speaker 1: for you. He's been rich for a very long time,
Speaker 1: super long. Just so you know, that is one of
Speaker 1: the greatest myths, right, Bill Gates never said that. It's
Speaker 1: attributed to him, like he never said his three billion people,
Speaker 1: but he never actually said it. But it's someone said
Speaker 1: just like Bill Gates said, And it became one of
Speaker 1: those things that has gone viral since then. I don't
Speaker 1: care if it's two billion, three billion. We six hundred
Speaker 1: thousand did from a man made coronavirus. Let me say
Speaker 1: that one more time, from a man made coronavirus. We
Speaker 1: have six hundred thousand did and counting every day. That
Speaker 1: was my spill. So let's bring in some flamets, shall we.
Speaker 1: I think let's see how people are feeling these days
Speaker 1: about Oh, since you thought I was attacking you, let's
Speaker 1: bring in good old Marks. He likes to be attacked.
Speaker 1: He whoa, whoa, whoa what I'm telling where? He says, Hey, Mark,
Speaker 1: I wasn't attacking west where Hey, guys, sorry he's driving
Speaker 1: You were attacking me? Hold on, I'm pulling over. Sorry, Okay.
Speaker 1: First of all, the whole Bill Gates thing, Yeah, homies
Speaker 1: all up in it with COVID, and I am with
Speaker 1: you on that one regarding his involvement and the power
Speaker 1: that comes with that. And he's always had speculations around
Speaker 1: me home. So Markey, Mike, he ain't got no money.
Speaker 1: Are you talking about Bill Gates? I thought you talked
Speaker 1: about Guliani. Hey, hey, hey, hey, you know, yeah, Bill
Speaker 1: is crazy. But after you get all the money, you know,
Speaker 1: where do you go but crazy, I mean, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. Yeah, anything you want, it's just a
Speaker 1: hand throw you you go. No place else but crazy,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And that's not an excuse
Speaker 1: at all. But I mean, think about it. If Bill
Speaker 1: Um couldn't buy coaching, you know, I mean, God, I mean,
Speaker 1: that would be his big thirst. And so if you've
Speaker 1: got all the money, you can buy all the couching
Speaker 1: you want. I mean, and I get it his side piece.
Speaker 1: It's not easy on the eye, but you know, it's
Speaker 1: like this is all he has to do is buy
Speaker 1: crazy stuff and do real crazy stuff. Now nobody knew.
Speaker 1: I don't know what people actually knew about Jeffrey, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, because there's always been a string
Speaker 1: of speculation tied to him. But James Jeffrey was a mover,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So it was just as
Speaker 1: important to him that he moved in the circles that
Speaker 1: he wouldn't have normally been in had Bar's father not
Speaker 1: let him in into the elite, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: So he liked right shoulders. I don't know if everybody
Speaker 1: he bumped into knew it, certainly, I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: Bill ain't coming now to washat classling and I'm sure,
Speaker 1: uh now, Maxine probably wants to get herself his his
Speaker 1: side piece. The basic MHM is that her name Maxine?
Speaker 1: No max Oh you good An, I thought you said Maxine.
Speaker 1: I thought, okay. Yeah. First of all, I don't think
Speaker 1: that Jeffrey est Epstein is dead. I said this a
Speaker 1: couple of time, and I don't believe he did. I
Speaker 1: believe that was a fake body and he's somewhere people.
Speaker 1: I don't believe he did. I believe he paid those
Speaker 1: people off to get out and he did. Because my spirit,
Speaker 1: my thing, I think that if he was dead, he
Speaker 1: had already given paperwork besides to somebody else besides j Maxwell,
Speaker 1: to say, if anything happens to me put this out, well,
Speaker 1: it might be a situation to where people assisted in
Speaker 1: kind of covering up, or if they wanted to fake
Speaker 1: his death, whatever the situation. Maybe because he just knew
Speaker 1: too much. Did it start at the top. Yes, Look
Speaker 1: look at up side and this this is is not over.
Speaker 1: This is not over with Jeffrey's not over with Bill.
Speaker 1: I know he's shaking, but it's like I wish they
Speaker 1: would start golfing or something, and so oh damn weird.
Speaker 1: Oh Jen, it's so funny you said about golfing, because
Speaker 1: I think Marky was the one who sent me Somethingbody
Speaker 1: sent me something about said me one days with um
Speaker 1: Joe Biden. No no bad tweets, no disrespect, no harassment,
Speaker 1: no racist statements, just all that. I'm like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: it's just it's the comparison is like it's refreshing. Oh wow.
Speaker 1: The real tea is that Joe Biden's dog is just
Speaker 1: biting people. So yeah, but it was almost like being
Speaker 1: an abused woman. I kept thinking, any day it was
Speaker 1: gonna start back up the luminacy of Trump, even though
Speaker 1: he was buying. I was like, something crazy, it's got
Speaker 1: to happen, you know. I don't think Trump man, they're
Speaker 1: gonna get They're gonna get his ass soon or later.
Speaker 1: I just feel it. I mean, at this point, he
Speaker 1: would have already been talking a big game about his
Speaker 1: comeback with his ego. So the fact that he's not,
Speaker 1: he's dropping tibits here and there, you know on his
Speaker 1: news networks that he likes to frequent. He's I mean,
Speaker 1: he's definitely he's nervous about something, and um, you know,
Speaker 1: Wednesday the GEO P they do their vote to Alice
Speaker 1: Lynch lisz Cheney, which was we're going there, to Mark,
Speaker 1: We're going there, go ahead. Yeah, so you know, we'll
Speaker 1: see what happened. I think Wednesday is really going to
Speaker 1: be a tell tell of the shift of the I
Speaker 1: don't even like saying Republican Party because I associated with
Speaker 1: the Republican Party for a long time. I have a
Speaker 1: lot of friends and those that that's what I see
Speaker 1: now is just not the conservatives that I that we
Speaker 1: saw at one point. Um. I mean this, the basic
Speaker 1: principles of conservatism have just completely gone out of the window.
Speaker 1: So you know, who knows what that party has going
Speaker 1: on and what the future will be. But Wednesday will
Speaker 1: be a telltelle sign of where they go, if it's
Speaker 1: going to be the Maga Trump situation or if they're
Speaker 1: going to really keep Liz in her position and try
Speaker 1: to shift the narrative within their party. So if they
Speaker 1: get rid of List, they've lost a jewel. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: and they've they've gonna instead of gaining those you know,
Speaker 1: those four seats, uh that they gained, they're gonna lose
Speaker 1: more so because she is she is the Nancy Pelosi
Speaker 1: of the Republican Party. Yeah, and here's here's the really
Speaker 1: interesting dynamic is that Alisa's step uh Stefan, I think
Speaker 1: it's her name. I forget how her annapty so excuse me,
Speaker 1: but the um the lady who they are wanting to
Speaker 1: replace her from upstate New York. She actually has an
Speaker 1: even less conservative voting record, But the only thing that
Speaker 1: ties her differently than uh Liz Cheney is that she
Speaker 1: backed up most of the things Trump did, so even
Speaker 1: though she's not even on record a conservative as much
Speaker 1: as Liz Cheney is based on her voting record, the
Speaker 1: difference is that she backed Trump up. Well, she just
Speaker 1: started back in trus She backed Trump for this last thing.
Speaker 1: This Chaney back Trump and of everything that he wanted
Speaker 1: to do he was in office. This this girl who
Speaker 1: you're all talking about, what's her name, Elizabeth stef she
Speaker 1: just started. She just backed Trump for this the whole
Speaker 1: the election was a farce. That's why they jumping on
Speaker 1: the bandwagon on her. I hope this's Cheney stands a ground.
Speaker 1: I love that she said in her ground, and I
Speaker 1: hope that they do take up and remove her from
Speaker 1: her seat, that she comes over to the Democratic Party
Speaker 1: and make some changes in the Democratic Party. We need
Speaker 1: some balls over here. It's too many people in the
Speaker 1: Democratic Party with power where she may not do that,
Speaker 1: but there's too many people in the Democratic Party that
Speaker 1: don't have any balls, no backbone. They're too fucking scary. Well,
Speaker 1: I mean, I I agree with that. I think they're
Speaker 1: the Democrats definitely need to grow some balls. I mean,
Speaker 1: if we're even going to talk about Senator curn borrow Man,
Speaker 1: even if we go to you know, to Senator Clyburne
Speaker 1: and some of the remarks that he made to uh,
Speaker 1: I think yesterday about qualified immunity has me looking at
Speaker 1: him kind of sideways. But on the Liz Cheney front, one,
Speaker 1: I think that it's really unfortunate what's happening to her,
Speaker 1: And it's like, yet again, here's another woman trying to
Speaker 1: be at the forefront and do the right thing, and
Speaker 1: she's being you know, the sacrificial lamb. But at the
Speaker 1: same time, I kind of feel like, is this karma
Speaker 1: for the Republican Party because in a lot of ways,
Speaker 1: like Mark said, you know, if they decide to ask her,
Speaker 1: which I think they're going to end up doing that
Speaker 1: she's going to be voted out, and they have this
Speaker 1: new you know, and they have Elizabeth Stefonic step in
Speaker 1: the Republican Party is really shaping them to say that
Speaker 1: they're the Party of Trump. And I think what we're
Speaker 1: probably going to see is more likely is that there's
Speaker 1: going to be a group of the GOP. And I
Speaker 1: think this has already started. They're gonna kind of create
Speaker 1: their own party to say that they're the new GOP.
Speaker 1: That's the only thing they can do because in a
Speaker 1: lot of ways, people forget how screwed up the GOP
Speaker 1: was even before Trump. Like Liz Cheney is still Dick
Speaker 1: Cheney's daughter. Dick Cheney was a part of the Bush
Speaker 1: presidency and Bush was a screwed up president. But because
Speaker 1: we got Trump eight years or twelve years later, everybody
Speaker 1: forgot how screwed up a president Bush is. Because he
Speaker 1: snuggles up Toget, because he made a nice speech at
Speaker 1: um at um who who's feeling who? Yeah, he made
Speaker 1: a nice piece. So you know, black people, you know
Speaker 1: how we are. No, it wasn't that, it's because we
Speaker 1: had Trump and then he snuggles up against Michelle Obama.
Speaker 1: That's how That's why people forget how screwed of the
Speaker 1: president Bush was. That's why bushing Obama tight. Now everyone
Speaker 1: it's like, oh, Bush, he's cool. That's exactly what she did,
Speaker 1: and he was a screwed up president. Hell, if we're
Speaker 1: gonna talk about it, Dick Cheney really was the one
Speaker 1: that ran the country Lewis' funeral. Okay, Well, I'm saying
Speaker 1: Dick Cheney was the one that really ran the whole
Speaker 1: country when Bush was president, and we're going to talk
Speaker 1: about it, so let's not forget where Liz Cheney stems from. So, yeah,
Speaker 1: that is the truth. But you know, I like to
Speaker 1: believe and I could be not need that people viewing
Speaker 1: how messed up the world is now. As far as relations,
Speaker 1: I'm hoping I'm okay if she I'm okay with politics,
Speaker 1: but I'm hoping that she doesn't compromise on her integrity,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Because it's a lose lose
Speaker 1: for everybody. You know what I mean. It's it's it's
Speaker 1: a lose lose for everybody if they lose her. I
Speaker 1: still believe she's always going to identify with that party,
Speaker 1: and I'm okay with that. But what It really shows
Speaker 1: me is what you have to do improve yourself as
Speaker 1: being a female. You know what I mean? Um, because
Speaker 1: she is definitely a jewel for the Republican Party. We've
Speaker 1: tolerated Mitch McConnell and his bliss stupidity and he has
Speaker 1: no shame about it, no shame about it. You know
Speaker 1: when you see all these people speaking. A smart politician though,
Speaker 1: But somebody needs to cut the strings. Nobody, nobody has
Speaker 1: cut the strings yet, nobody has allowed the strings. Everybody
Speaker 1: is being dictated as a puppet right now. Everybody is
Speaker 1: a puppet. Everybody's a mirroring it. Somebody needs to cut
Speaker 1: the strings. And just started all the list. Cheney looks
Speaker 1: like she wants to do it, and I'm damn showing
Speaker 1: them the Nancy Pelosi got hr sizzles. But when I watched,
Speaker 1: like with Tim Scott speaking, you watch Alise, what what's
Speaker 1: the young guy named Fowler? What was his name? That Fouler?
Speaker 1: You know, they they when you hear them speak, it
Speaker 1: don't even sound like they're speaking their words. They're speaking
Speaker 1: for somebody else. Mm hmm. That's what They're all from,
Speaker 1: the same cookie cutter and they're trying to say that, Um,
Speaker 1: you know, I would love to see the moderate Democrats,
Speaker 1: a lot of the moderate Democrats and a lot of
Speaker 1: the more liberal Conservatives come together and uh do something
Speaker 1: to either. I know, you know, creating a new party's hard,
Speaker 1: but do something that I think would really resonate with
Speaker 1: a lot of people in the country because nobody fits
Speaker 1: either side perfectly. I'm sure I know you blame you
Speaker 1: say a lot of things that you know, conservatives would
Speaker 1: meet you in the middle on ideal you know, ideas,
Speaker 1: and I'm sure that goes for all of us on
Speaker 1: your we are really in the middle. But politics is
Speaker 1: just used as a weapon. Religion is used as a
Speaker 1: weapon for politics, and it's literally to pin us against
Speaker 1: each other, to put us back in our corners. So
Speaker 1: I would love to see a more moderate party come
Speaker 1: together from people from both sides who are having issues
Speaker 1: in their own caucus and see you know, I think
Speaker 1: it's gonna be really attractive to most Americans. I mean,
Speaker 1: but people get together and put deals together. I don't
Speaker 1: think we're gonna ever see a three party uh ticket,
Speaker 1: And I'm okay with that because no matter what you do,
Speaker 1: when you have a group of people together they're going
Speaker 1: to start breaking off into sulf committees and self agendas.
Speaker 1: Nobody's ever gonna hold hands in seeing you know, kumbay yacht.
Speaker 1: That's just not the world. The reason that we have
Speaker 1: or I have my people with the Democrats, it's not
Speaker 1: because it is because they're solved, But that's because we
Speaker 1: welcome everybody. We you know, we're the party of everybody.
Speaker 1: Republicans want that money, they protect that money, and they
Speaker 1: if you don't have any money, they don't have a
Speaker 1: problem saying we really don't like you or any of
Speaker 1: the things that you need for your family, whereas Democrats
Speaker 1: accept everybody. We want everybody to have help care, we
Speaker 1: want everybody to have breakfast in the morning. You know.
Speaker 1: So that's the problem to me with the lack of
Speaker 1: balls in the Democratic Party. And we fight so hard
Speaker 1: because once again, you know, we know what we want
Speaker 1: to reach people, but then we get caught up in
Speaker 1: all these damn different you know, Um you don't tagline
Speaker 1: the messaging, you know what I mean, And it divides
Speaker 1: us for progressive democrat, liberal democrat, modest democray way far
Speaker 1: to the you know, independent progressive, all these or honestly,
Speaker 1: but but My issue, my main issue with the Democrats
Speaker 1: is that we're always so eager to meet somebody in
Speaker 1: the middle. Sometimes I really wish that we would just
Speaker 1: stick to our morals and do what needs to be done.
Speaker 1: And I bring up the example of Senator Clyburn saying
Speaker 1: that qualified immunity didn't need to be a part of
Speaker 1: George Floyd's bill, which I think is crazy. You know,
Speaker 1: it's so different from the remarks we talked about last
Speaker 1: week the Kamala Harris is making. We're always trying to
Speaker 1: make concessions to meet people in the middle, and we
Speaker 1: feel like we're trying to do what's right, and sometimes
Speaker 1: that's just not what we need to be doing. We
Speaker 1: need to stick to our guns and actually implement policy change.
Speaker 1: That's what we need to do. I'm telling you all
Speaker 1: right now. We we we just have to pay attention
Speaker 1: because we had it for something. I don't know what
Speaker 1: exactly it is, but we had it for something. And
Speaker 1: every day they show us. Every day they showing us something.
Speaker 1: I'm telling yeah, yeah, I better pay attention and pay
Speaker 1: attention to these voting laws changing the qualified immunity. I
Speaker 1: think the hard thing with that is the language is
Speaker 1: going to have to be so precise that it's going
Speaker 1: to be challenging. You're either going to be I'm for
Speaker 1: or against it. It's you're not gonna be able to
Speaker 1: find a middle because if you try to say, well,
Speaker 1: we need qualified immunity to be there to extend, there's
Speaker 1: so many scenarios and nuances that the language would be
Speaker 1: almost impossible to to write up. So I think, yeah,
Speaker 1: you're gonna be on one side of the fence or
Speaker 1: the other, and it's almost like how how do you
Speaker 1: how do you weigh it? So that is going to
Speaker 1: be challenging, and I would love to see how people
Speaker 1: come in the middle with that. If there's even a possibility, Well,
Speaker 1: I think that's gonna really turn into another political issue
Speaker 1: because qualified immunity, in my opinion, needs to be removed
Speaker 1: because that's ultimately what protects cops when they you know,
Speaker 1: when we have officer involved shootings in there, you know,
Speaker 1: killing the people that they're supposed to be protecting and serving.
Speaker 1: Qualified immunity needs to be removed. And I know we
Speaker 1: talked about last week. New Jersey was the first one
Speaker 1: to kind of start taking those steps to remove it,
Speaker 1: and they're you know, trying to not make a mentally
Speaker 1: distress calls to the police department. So New Jersey is
Speaker 1: trying to take strides, but ultimately qualified immunity needs to
Speaker 1: be removed because otherwise that gives cops the ability to
Speaker 1: keep shooting people and not being prosecuted for it, or
Speaker 1: they even take they can take it a step further,
Speaker 1: just like what Derek Chauvin and you know, Amber Geiger
Speaker 1: are doing. They have this whole appeals process because of
Speaker 1: qualified immunity. It's giving them the law is on their side,
Speaker 1: and that's what the problem is. It's not being provided
Speaker 1: to the civilians and the citizens of this country is
Speaker 1: being provided to these people, as Flame has said, who
Speaker 1: have these badges and guns to protect them, right, Well,
Speaker 1: it really protects them from uh civil little litigation and lawsuits.
Speaker 1: That's that's one of the main things. Um yeah, but
Speaker 1: you know, if a crime, it's if a crime is
Speaker 1: clear as day, they're going to be prosecutor. Here's like
Speaker 1: the example that I would use. If a cop is
Speaker 1: you know, let's say arresting a female and you know,
Speaker 1: he does a backhanded pat down and she she makes
Speaker 1: a claim that he touched her. She can now sue
Speaker 1: him with no problem in the world. That's where the
Speaker 1: language comes. It's gonna be hard to outline with what
Speaker 1: what qualified immunity can is common sense, but also what
Speaker 1: isn't you know, a clear's day killing shouldn't be qualified
Speaker 1: and it shouldn't qualify for immunity in my opinion. But again,
Speaker 1: they're just gonna it's gonna be one or the other.
Speaker 1: I don't think there's going to be a middle ground
Speaker 1: on it. But for me, I think get rid of
Speaker 1: it all together because at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: if to me a life is more important than a
Speaker 1: loss to hire a good lawyer and fight your case
Speaker 1: if you believe you're innocent, that's what I look at it,
Speaker 1: you know, but mark to your point, but I think
Speaker 1: that the middle ground would be body cameras. That's why
Speaker 1: we have body cameras because to your point of if
Speaker 1: a cop you know, is sexually assaults or you know
Speaker 1: a female or back cancer, whatever the example you provided,
Speaker 1: that's where body cameras kicking, That's that's where the accountability
Speaker 1: comes in. You record those things came off if you
Speaker 1: pull me over, because if you touch me right I'm
Speaker 1: gonna touch you right back. Ship and we don't want
Speaker 1: that on film. That's only fans deal, but it is,
Speaker 1: and I think body cameras have to be they also
Speaker 1: have to be looked at again because to me, officers
Speaker 1: shouldn't have control over when that camera is filming or
Speaker 1: when it's not. So if they need to invest in
Speaker 1: better technology, then that's something needs to be conversation and Mark,
Speaker 1: I hear you on that. But what difference does it
Speaker 1: make if you have the footage, if you have the
Speaker 1: whole footage, the camera running the whole time. But like
Speaker 1: North Carolina, they release what they wanted us to see.
Speaker 1: You see, somebody is still in charge. They showed us
Speaker 1: what they want them twenty seconds that they wanted us
Speaker 1: to see, not what happened. That camera could have been
Speaker 1: going the whole time. We need somebody in there who's
Speaker 1: going to find micromanage and fine tune and say, hey,
Speaker 1: here's the entire unfiltered film. Don't don't put the police
Speaker 1: captain in charge. Who you already known is a raging
Speaker 1: third party, independent entity that oversees that and as responsible.
Speaker 1: I agree, I don't think it should be up to
Speaker 1: any head of a department or even city official. It
Speaker 1: definitely needs to be overseen by a different entity that
Speaker 1: is made up of we'll see. And I think that's
Speaker 1: but all of the things that we're talking about, these
Speaker 1: technically all go under the umbrella of qualified immunity. All
Speaker 1: of these entities and all of these different elements and aspects,
Speaker 1: they all go under the umbrella of qualified immunity. So
Speaker 1: remote remove that and you're actually ripping the band aid
Speaker 1: off and are giving people a fair opportunity. Here's the
Speaker 1: crazy thing. None of us are elected officials, and all
Speaker 1: of us are sitting here having an intelligent conversation, brainstorming
Speaker 1: ideas that makes sense one way or another, and yet
Speaker 1: we pay these people to sit their ass to collect
Speaker 1: money from special special interests and not put any legislation.
Speaker 1: That's how I fault. But that's how I fault. That's
Speaker 1: how I fault. Let's go back to Allison. Let's go
Speaker 1: back to you have to start voting at the local
Speaker 1: level to get the people that you want to be
Speaker 1: in those spaces. We're gonna bring Allison on, and bring
Speaker 1: Allison on, Lauren, because let me tell you something that
Speaker 1: that goes right back to what she's been saying. You
Speaker 1: got to start locally in order to get the people
Speaker 1: that you want. We keep going today, Uh fucking reality
Speaker 1: stars and big names and baby, please you better do it. Hey, everybody,
Speaker 1: how are you all doing today? Hey ladies, City Council,
Speaker 1: we're rocking with you over here. Markey Marketing brought you
Speaker 1: up again because he was talking about that we need
Speaker 1: people that think like us, look like us, feel like us,
Speaker 1: and break it down for hours and how can we
Speaker 1: get there? So here it is so I was listening
Speaker 1: about the body cameras, and again there was one time
Speaker 1: that I was not for body cameras. And I'm gonna
Speaker 1: tell you why, because here in Lakeland they were trying
Speaker 1: to get the body. They are still trying to get
Speaker 1: the body cameras, and over of course of five years,
Speaker 1: it's gonna cost five million dollars. Right. And then I
Speaker 1: was asking the question because somebody had to educate me,
Speaker 1: I said, and I asked these two questions. I said, listen,
Speaker 1: who who which camera would you trust? Would you trust
Speaker 1: offers a billbo or would you trust Allison camera? And
Speaker 1: a lot of people said, I trust your camera? And
Speaker 1: I said, well, why would you trust my camera? Because
Speaker 1: you won't do anything to it and you will release
Speaker 1: it immediately, right. And then they said, well, it's gonna
Speaker 1: cost so of five years five million dollars right for
Speaker 1: us to house this information, right, because you need somewhere
Speaker 1: to house this sad information that comes from the footage.
Speaker 1: And I said, well, we can put that money in
Speaker 1: you can see your programs and housing. Well, let me
Speaker 1: tell you how I was educated. If you played close
Speaker 1: attention to the George Floyd's case, not only was that
Speaker 1: girl's recording us, but the officer's body camera was used, right.
Speaker 1: And with that they also with the officer's body camera, right,
Speaker 1: that also is an automatic It is admissible and you
Speaker 1: can use it in the court of law with the
Speaker 1: our our phones. They question it, right, So what what
Speaker 1: what are you saying to us, Allison? Well, your local
Speaker 1: police force is not an intelligence agency. So when you
Speaker 1: find that local police force is redacting information and things
Speaker 1: like that, that's an automatic flag, right because the local
Speaker 1: police force is not an intelligence agency. And then were
Speaker 1: and and and and now we're having issues with oh
Speaker 1: they're not releasing the information d D. Dan. Ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 1: That's where you go tap on your mayor, that's where
Speaker 1: you go tap on your city commissioners, because what we
Speaker 1: keep forgetting is that our our city commissioners and our
Speaker 1: local police force, they get their money from the city
Speaker 1: and their bosses is the commissioner. Their bosses is the mayor,
Speaker 1: Ryan the chief of police. Their boss is the mayor. Right.
Speaker 1: The city workers is the is the ones who implement
Speaker 1: the policy that's set forth by people who you who
Speaker 1: the city, who the city residents elect. So that is
Speaker 1: when you hold your city commissioners accountable. That is when
Speaker 1: you hold your mayor accountable. Don't let them release that
Speaker 1: that that that information. Okay, let's go tap on our
Speaker 1: city commissioners who come acts for our votes. They don't
Speaker 1: know tapping on us in some districts are actually the
Speaker 1: case up in uh Uh there was someone who was
Speaker 1: just killed by law enforcement. The actually a judge has
Speaker 1: to sign off and get permission for footage to be
Speaker 1: released to the North Carolina in North Carolina market, right, right,
Speaker 1: But but again that is true. However, if the mayor
Speaker 1: asks for it, it must be released because at the
Speaker 1: end of the day, that local police force, that money
Speaker 1: that your local police, all everybody's local police get. The
Speaker 1: way they get their budget from they get the city
Speaker 1: commissioner grants their budget. So because I give y'all money,
Speaker 1: whatever I ask for, I shall get. Yeah. But you
Speaker 1: have to remember also who's in bed with each other?
Speaker 1: You know that too. That to t J, I agree
Speaker 1: with you. I agree with you. It's all a game.
Speaker 1: But that is why T t J. And it is
Speaker 1: important for us as a people to study who the
Speaker 1: hell we vote for. Not a curse in front you.
Speaker 1: But I'm just saying, that's why it's also important T
Speaker 1: t That's why it's also important T t J. And
Speaker 1: that we don't just sit at home and look at
Speaker 1: the news and complain about what's going on. Because I said,
Speaker 1: I said this, I said the issue the difference between
Speaker 1: white and black folks. White black folks talk about it
Speaker 1: and go home. Some of us white volks when they
Speaker 1: get scared. When they get scared, they talk about it
Speaker 1: and go vote. See, that's what black people need to do.
Speaker 1: We need to talk, vote and take our ass to song. Period.
Speaker 1: Or they or they try and get their local elected
Speaker 1: officials to create voting bills that restrict color folks from voting.
Speaker 1: And then and then what because what happens is what's
Speaker 1: going on here? In Lakeland. They push money into the
Speaker 1: candidate that they want to win, right pushing the money.
Speaker 1: We're gonna but that's first, that's black folks need to do.
Speaker 1: Let us start pushing money into the candidate that want
Speaker 1: Favorite Lane From John q uh Denzel watching movie My
Speaker 1: favorite movie, watching Favorite Lane, his wife told him when
Speaker 1: the song was dying, do something. We got to do something,
Speaker 1: do something. All this time with you, Alice, all this
Speaker 1: talking ship, then you listen to the celebrity. The problem.
Speaker 1: Part of the problem is a bunch of these celebrities
Speaker 1: who who's dead siling right now, But when the primary
Speaker 1: is getting ready to come up next year, they're gonna
Speaker 1: be out talking about hold your vote? What did they
Speaker 1: do for black people? What what have you done for
Speaker 1: black people? You ain't said ship since Biden has won.
Speaker 1: And y'all know who I'm talking about, Ice trades, i Q,
Speaker 1: ice corters, ice clubs, all that ship. Y'all ain't said nothing.
Speaker 1: All y'all run around, how hold your vote? Hold your vote?
Speaker 1: Everybody dad silent right now. But when the checks come
Speaker 1: out for two black folks, hit me and hit me, well,
Speaker 1: look in the mirror, and the person that's most important
Speaker 1: to you is the person that's looking back at you.
Speaker 1: Get your ass up and in the words of Mistaking
Speaker 1: from the movie, do something. Well. I just want to
Speaker 1: say this. I want to throw this out there. Black women,
Speaker 1: we vote. I'm just saying everything right now, so we vote,
Speaker 1: so thank you. I just want to throw it out
Speaker 1: because because because because for so long, right, black women
Speaker 1: have carried the votes right for us, black people were
Speaker 1: still in the we still do right. Let me tell
Speaker 1: you something, these white folks are scared. They're scared because
Speaker 1: now people are finally listening to the black woman. Right.
Speaker 1: They been our people, been listening to us. But they're
Speaker 1: they're people's ear, their nephew's here, they're ears to our voice,
Speaker 1: their son's ear, their son's ear is now to our voice.
Speaker 1: And they're getting scared, right because when a black woman speak,
Speaker 1: everybody stands to attention. They shook talk about it. Why
Speaker 1: do you think I'm trying to be a black woman,
Speaker 1: black nick, I want to be a black woman. I
Speaker 1: want to be no other. I want to be a
Speaker 1: black woman. Very you're looking very thin today, picking mark
Speaker 1: trying to get something, y'all. Stop to y'all. Y'all will
Speaker 1: never have to leave. We could do laugh and learning
Speaker 1: for whatever, y'all you go somewhere. You ain't saying that,
Speaker 1: come on, keep with skinny. No, I was getting ready
Speaker 1: to say, you're giving fish today. I like the naughty professor. Yeah,
Speaker 1: in sequence, I would be, I would technically be I
Speaker 1: would technically be the nutty professor. You just figured out Mark,
Speaker 1: you're just trying to stay out the class with see.
Speaker 1: No but a serious though, So I wanna just say
Speaker 1: thank you to the three of you guys. This was
Speaker 1: a really, really important one I think robust discussion. So
Speaker 1: thank you guys for coming on. It's always before you leave, Alison,
Speaker 1: I need you to just let people know how important
Speaker 1: it is that. Like you've been stressing and stressing and
Speaker 1: stressing about the local level of voting, I told you
Speaker 1: I was guilty of that too. I would only vote
Speaker 1: for the big names, you know, President, Governor. I didn't
Speaker 1: care about all of them in city council. I just
Speaker 1: didn't Mayor. I just didn't care about that because I
Speaker 1: didn't think that it affected me. So I love that
Speaker 1: you come on and educate us that because it lets
Speaker 1: us know that in order to get who we want
Speaker 1: and to be the president. We gotta start real low
Speaker 1: and help build them up there in steps. Yeah, right,
Speaker 1: So I encourage people to look at it like this.
Speaker 1: Think about the government. Government is down up, not top down. Right,
Speaker 1: So think about think about a plan in the ground,
Speaker 1: right when you when you plan a seed into the ground, right,
Speaker 1: in order for that seed to grow, you have to
Speaker 1: nurture it. Right. But if you keep playing, if we
Speaker 1: keep planting these seeds and growing and growing them, they're
Speaker 1: gonna grow dead. Right. So when you think about your
Speaker 1: local government, think about a seed that you want to
Speaker 1: come back to see, right, Think about a plant that
Speaker 1: you want to come back to see. And if we
Speaker 1: do not water the water the seed that we planted,
Speaker 1: we're gonna always come back to dead plants. Well, Alison,
Speaker 1: what is the day a plant? These states? The state representatives,
Speaker 1: these U S. Senators, these these presidents and vice presidents
Speaker 1: that we may not like in the four years and
Speaker 1: eight years to come, these governors. Right, but just think
Speaker 1: about it. If I nurture my seeds, which is my
Speaker 1: local government, then I'm going to start seeing state representatives.
Speaker 1: I like, I'm going to start seeing governors. I like,
Speaker 1: I'm going to start seeing congresswomen in congressmen and U S.
Speaker 1: Senators and presidents and vice presidents. I'm going to begin
Speaker 1: to see a world that I like. So think about it, think, think,
Speaker 1: think about it like a seed. Right, If you don't
Speaker 1: nurture the seed, you're gonna always get dead plants. And
Speaker 1: so my question to everybody are we tired? Are we
Speaker 1: finally tired of the dead plants? Because I am. That's
Speaker 1: that's gonna be the name of this week's show, Nurturing
Speaker 1: my seed. Yes, I need somebody to nurture my sea.
Speaker 1: Thank you, T. T Jan, Thank you Alison. We appreciate
Speaker 1: you guys as always. Thank you so much. Have a
Speaker 1: good day. Thank you Alon. Allison Louis Lakeland. She is
Speaker 1: running for city council in Lakeland, Florida. You need to
Speaker 1: look her up. Listen to our politics, make sure you
Speaker 1: follow T. T J. And that Waits Williams and Markey Mark.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you something. Everybody does their own thing
Speaker 1: and they all talk about it. Not we don't always agree,
Speaker 1: but we always come to in a conversation which is
Speaker 1: most important. You got to talk about it in order
Speaker 1: to make some changes about it. Hi, I love that
Speaker 1: planting the seed you've got if you if you don't
Speaker 1: water it, it won't grow. Oh that was fantastic. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: you was going on weekend? What kind of seeds was
Speaker 1: you planning in Chicago? Playing pamping? Look at Nicholas for
Speaker 1: being professional. He only been this phone. He's gonna call
Speaker 1: me and give me all the dirt. Let me tell
Speaker 1: you Nick that Allison, do you do you do you
Speaker 1: agree with how she was saying that we need to
Speaker 1: start locally to go higher. We we everything starts in
Speaker 1: the community. I'll tell you something else too. I agree
Speaker 1: also with the body cam. You know, we've we've got
Speaker 1: to figure out the funding for that because I completely
Speaker 1: agree that if we have that information recorded, we at
Speaker 1: least have to have that information recorded. I I just UM,
Speaker 1: I think that every that should be part of the
Speaker 1: standard of uniform UH, that video equipment is part of
Speaker 1: your uniform, that every interaction, every engagement with any citizen
Speaker 1: UH is recorded. Just as simple, I think that transparency
Speaker 1: is the best thing for all parties involved, and that
Speaker 1: if we have that on video recording UM, it can
Speaker 1: help clear up situations, explain situations, give families peace, or
Speaker 1: or hold those accountable who may have crossed the line.
Speaker 1: But I'm not trying to challenge like so like you
Speaker 1: guys see it, aren't they challenging? So like Lord to me,
Speaker 1: you see in an altercation and I'm videotaping it, but
Speaker 1: the officer has his camera. What's the difference between me
Speaker 1: videotaping and his camera? So the difference is from what
Speaker 1: I understand, and anybody in the comments or nick you
Speaker 1: can correct me if I'm wrong. From what I understand
Speaker 1: is that because the body camera footage that or the
Speaker 1: body camera should say that the police officer has, it's
Speaker 1: automatically admissible in court because to next point, it's a
Speaker 1: part of their uniform, so they can record it. But
Speaker 1: I do know that there's some situations where if an
Speaker 1: altercation is recorded and people aren't aware that they're being recorded,
Speaker 1: it could become a legal issue. Thing. I didn't consent
Speaker 1: for you to record me. You think you think she
Speaker 1: would have consented to killing George Floyd? Do you think
Speaker 1: he would have wanted that on you? Well, he knew
Speaker 1: he was being filmed though. That's the thing. So as
Speaker 1: even though as the teenager was because I don't want
Speaker 1: to say her name, as she was recording the altercation.
Speaker 1: Throughout it, he knew at one point that he was
Speaker 1: being recorded and there wasn't an issue. So that's how
Speaker 1: I understand it. Like again, I said, I could be
Speaker 1: wrong with that was my understanding of it. That's why
Speaker 1: officer body cam footage is admissible in court, whereas you
Speaker 1: it becomes a bit of a sticky situation if you're
Speaker 1: recording somebody and they're not aware that they're being recorded.
Speaker 1: And I'm now saying that some of the police officers
Speaker 1: will try to do something to you if you're recording them, right,
Speaker 1: and then to put your camera down. This my phone.
Speaker 1: You ain't paid for this. See I'm that one. I'll
Speaker 1: be there. No, don't tell me what to do with
Speaker 1: my This my deep nut room. I'm before for love lounge,
Speaker 1: this my ship. Well that's why sometimes like you'll see
Speaker 1: people recording, but they'll put their phone down so you
Speaker 1: can at least hear what the officer is saying, but
Speaker 1: you can't see their face because that's allowed, but they
Speaker 1: can't they have to consent in order for you to
Speaker 1: actually film that. That's terrible. Went through a situation this
Speaker 1: weekend with my mom showing her how to hold her
Speaker 1: camera discreetly to record situations, you know, because I want
Speaker 1: her to know how. We are very quick and we
Speaker 1: know how to operate our phones probably easier, you know,
Speaker 1: but I wanted her to know how to do that.
Speaker 1: And you could be discreet, I said, Mom, and you
Speaker 1: put it up like you're looking taking a selfie and
Speaker 1: you could be recording the entire time. But I want
Speaker 1: you to know how to quickly access this camera. So
Speaker 1: we just absolutely I think, could you imagine us hearing
Speaker 1: about George Floyd's death if we didn't have that girl
Speaker 1: who videotaped that, Well, that's true because if you even
Speaker 1: look at what the police put out afterwards, they said
Speaker 1: that it was a medical or they tried to say
Speaker 1: that George for basically had a medical issue and then
Speaker 1: when he arrived at the hospital, you know, he died.
Speaker 1: That was the statement that the Minneapolis police put out initially,
Speaker 1: And had we not had the footage, we wouldn't have
Speaker 1: known that Derek Chauvin actually had his knee on his
Speaker 1: neck for nine minutes and twenty nine seconds and that
Speaker 1: was actually the cause of his death because the way
Speaker 1: that the police put it out, it was, oh, he
Speaker 1: had a medical distress, situation. We took him to the
Speaker 1: hospital and he just died. Amsterdam. Here I come, because
Speaker 1: y'all don't want to give it. I'm moving to Amsterdam.
Speaker 1: Uh Nicholas, they got the good stuff red light District.
Speaker 1: Here I come. So, Nick, what are your final thoughts?
Speaker 1: We got to close that at this point. We're a
Speaker 1: little over time, So go ahead, hey, final thoughts. You know,
Speaker 1: like I said, we we I think that there is
Speaker 1: a conversation that needs to continue, Lauren. I think we
Speaker 1: can talk about qualified immunity all day, every day, because
Speaker 1: I think that that's an issue. Um. I understand why
Speaker 1: it's in place, because I do believe that there are
Speaker 1: some government officials who deserve to have that protection. But
Speaker 1: I think that to have a blanket system in place
Speaker 1: that removes the accountability factor for members of law enforcement
Speaker 1: is um a premise that needs to be questioned and examined.
Speaker 1: That's very true. Major we didn't have we didn't see
Speaker 1: the Ranney King video on film we heard about. It
Speaker 1: would have had a different impact even though they still
Speaker 1: got off. You see what happened with the riots here
Speaker 1: in California. It is it's the sadly the video footage
Speaker 1: don't seem to be enough anymore. They still getting their
Speaker 1: way with at it. Well, in some cases it's effective.
Speaker 1: We talked about George Floyd, and I think the video
Speaker 1: allows a conversation at least before the conversation, because I
Speaker 1: think flame there was even conversations within our own community.
Speaker 1: We'll be like, well, why don't you just act right?
Speaker 1: If you just do what you're told, you wouldn't have
Speaker 1: this problem. But now video is telling a very different
Speaker 1: story that you know what, maybe WHOA, there's a problem here?
Speaker 1: Why is this happening? You know, I don't know if
Speaker 1: anybody in our community ever said why did you just
Speaker 1: act right? Too? That's like somebody telling you are you
Speaker 1: pretty for a black girl? Pretty for a black queen? No, bitch,
Speaker 1: I'm pretty anyway, You're funny looking. I don't care what
Speaker 1: you see. That's my mouth, you know, I'm the clip
Speaker 1: back is real. The clip back comes, and I don't
Speaker 1: even be knowing this coming. My man be shut down
Speaker 1: just automatically. That's why I'm having a closed casket funeral
Speaker 1: because I know somebody gonna say something smart and I'm
Speaker 1: anna ask, guy, dude, can I get a too many past?
Speaker 1: Because I'm going back and check this bitch. I don't
Speaker 1: know who she thinks she's talking. I'm gonna raised about
Speaker 1: the castman, look at here, who you talking about? And
Speaker 1: then go back. You know, I'm opening that cast and
Speaker 1: say get up, what you doing? You already put the
Speaker 1: sand on the door, baby, And not a lot of
Speaker 1: my family because you're gonna clump in there one of
Speaker 1: them shirts and tazz and that ain't how I really
Speaker 1: know you, or you might come down and things jump
Speaker 1: and wrote. Um for me though, I'll just say my
Speaker 1: final thought is, um, I really hope that coming into two,
Speaker 1: especially that we all get out and vote. Um. You know,
Speaker 1: Florida just passed of another voting rights law that's going
Speaker 1: to you know, limit the ability for people of color
Speaker 1: to go out and vote. We also just found out
Speaker 1: that Keish Lance Bottoms is not running for re election
Speaker 1: in Atlanta, which is so upsetting. So my main thing
Speaker 1: is I hope that, you know, despite all of the
Speaker 1: barriers that are being put up in you know, Florida
Speaker 1: and Atlanta and Texas, is coming up to North Carolina
Speaker 1: and North Carolina, there's there's a lot of cities, um
Speaker 1: where I think they're on the verge of turning purple,
Speaker 1: and we see that, and they're trying to put all
Speaker 1: these restrictive voting laws in place. I still encourage people
Speaker 1: to do their best to get out and vote. I
Speaker 1: know it's going to be hard up in this next
Speaker 1: year and then again, but I think we should all
Speaker 1: we all have a responsibility to go out and do
Speaker 1: our partner high big mate, I'm thinking that we have
Speaker 1: to come up with a strategic plan because Nicholas, if
Speaker 1: your mom is in Land and I'm in Chicago and
Speaker 1: we're voting and it's ninety degrees are said, and she's
Speaker 1: an older woman, I'm going to have a volting chair
Speaker 1: or give her a bout the water, I'm gonna get
Speaker 1: in trouble. So what we should do all these quiet,
Speaker 1: big names celebrities with all this money, because I ain't
Speaker 1: wanted them. I'm first of all, I'm still talking and
Speaker 1: I ain't got your money. Let's rent busses. Let's have
Speaker 1: a system of hiring busses for neighborhoods that have water
Speaker 1: and and and chairs and everything that they need on
Speaker 1: those buses. So if I'm standing in line for three hours,
Speaker 1: instead of somebody saying you brought me water, hold my
Speaker 1: place in land. I'm going to give me a chair.
Speaker 1: I'm going to give me something to drink to keep
Speaker 1: me going. We have to we have to fight them
Speaker 1: back and be a little smarter than they are and
Speaker 1: strategically win this. In the words of Denzel Washington and
Speaker 1: John Q, the wife said, fucking do something. We gotta
Speaker 1: do something. This right here and getting it done. It
Speaker 1: ain't getting it done. We're still dying. Well, I think too.
Speaker 1: That's where the strategic part's going to have to come in, because,
Speaker 1: like in Michigan, for instance, there were these group of
Speaker 1: women who were trying to transport people to and from
Speaker 1: the polls free of charge, and that ended up being illegal.
Speaker 1: They couldn't do that. So to your point, we're really
Speaker 1: going to have to get strategic, especially coming up in
Speaker 1: this new two because the laws that they're putting in
Speaker 1: place is making everything freaking illegal. I can't and when
Speaker 1: the game change the rules. That's what I personally think
Speaker 1: that we should have a bunch of p Valley buses
Speaker 1: and let a bunch of old ladys to be on
Speaker 1: their stripping, getting their life. Baby. I got my dollar
Speaker 1: bill strip You ain't got a point. Did y'all see
Speaker 1: to get your booty to the poles from the strip
Speaker 1: Atlantic Atlanta, Atlanta down in the valley where the old
Speaker 1: ladies get naked. Yet, I'm just saying that we want
Speaker 1: a bunch of We're doing this for the older people.
Speaker 1: We're doing it. I watch it. I can watch the strip.
Speaker 1: That would be funny and ship. Oh my god, oh goodness, Nick,
