I am your host, Flaming wrote along 0:01:45.240 --> 0:01:48.840 with my gorgeous, gorgeous co host, Ms. Lauren Hogan. Hi Lauren, 0:01:49.360 --> 0:01:52.640 Hi Flame? How are you happy New Year? Lauren? It's 0:01:52.640 --> 0:01:56.720 the girl you were Oh my god, I know I 0:01:56.760 --> 0:01:59.160 haven't talked to you since last year. It's crazy that's 0:01:59.440 --> 0:02:03.160 we talked to him anybody? How about I wanted the 0:02:03.280 --> 0:02:07.040 producer Aaron High. Aaron, We're glad you guys are here. 0:02:07.040 --> 0:02:09.640 With us. We made it to three. Let's see what 0:02:09.680 --> 0:02:11.680 the world has to bring and what the world has 0:02:11.720 --> 0:02:16.320 to offer. Tragically, we started off sadly, but we'll get 0:02:16.360 --> 0:02:18.520 to that right now. How was your New Year's Eve, Louren? 0:02:18.600 --> 0:02:22.760 Did you go out? Did you get tipsy? Did you celebrate? Um? 0:02:22.919 --> 0:02:25.839 I spent my New Year's very safe, My New Years 0:02:26.040 --> 0:02:29.280 very safe. Rather um, I went to my good friend's house. See, 0:02:29.360 --> 0:02:31.160 there was a group of like forty of us. We 0:02:31.280 --> 0:02:34.799 hung out closed to the New Year, at karaoke, some 0:02:34.840 --> 0:02:37.200 good food, but we were inside the house, you know, 0:02:37.400 --> 0:02:40.320 played it safe. And then I went to sleep at 0:02:40.320 --> 0:02:43.960 about four am. Yeah, got home at about four am, 0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:47.520 and that was my New Year's How was yours? Very quiet? 0:02:48.120 --> 0:02:52.200 I was home. Did you shoot a gun? I didn't. 0:02:52.480 --> 0:02:55.520 I didn't. I gotta go pick up my gun on Saturday, though, 0:02:55.560 --> 0:03:00.440 thank you for reminding me. That's not me, late lady Jim. 0:03:00.600 --> 0:03:02.720 The views of the young lady that just spoke are 0:03:02.800 --> 0:03:07.080 not that I didn't shot. I'm not at home in Chicago. 0:03:07.120 --> 0:03:08.920 I'm in Long Beach and we were all quiet. My 0:03:08.919 --> 0:03:10.960 block was very quiet. If they was shooting, you know. 0:03:11.280 --> 0:03:14.840 At twelve o'clock I was knocked out, No, you missed 0:03:14.840 --> 0:03:17.480 the Happy New Year, You missed the countdown? No, I 0:03:17.520 --> 0:03:20.120 did not watch it in New York, and I didn't 0:03:20.120 --> 0:03:28.120 miss it and missed its countdowns. Maybe they should have 0:03:28.200 --> 0:03:32.440 let and uh and Andy drink, Andy Cohen drink because 0:03:32.600 --> 0:03:34.400 he was on time. He might have said something religion, 0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:36.360 but at least he was on time drunk. Well, the 0:03:36.400 --> 0:03:38.600 funny thing is John Lemon missed the countdown in New 0:03:38.680 --> 0:03:42.800 Orleans too. Down Lemon always drunk though, so he wasn't drunk. 0:03:42.840 --> 0:03:48.240 He was sober as could be. Let them have a 0:03:48.240 --> 0:03:52.120 couple of cocktails. Yeah, I think they need to meet 0:03:52.200 --> 0:03:55.160 somewhere in the middle next year because there was no alcohol. 0:03:55.600 --> 0:03:58.560 It was a little dry on all sides, and the 0:03:58.600 --> 0:04:02.760 countdown was missed. But John Lemon was playing, you know, juvenile. 0:04:02.840 --> 0:04:04.880 So I guess it's a fair trade off, right, Yeah, 0:04:05.040 --> 0:04:09.960 I take it. I take looks promising. I mean, you 0:04:10.000 --> 0:04:11.640 know what, long with the way the times that we 0:04:11.720 --> 0:04:13.880 live in now, which I'm just glad to be alive 0:04:13.960 --> 0:04:17.640 and healthy and well and sometimes working, I said, sometimes, 0:04:18.080 --> 0:04:22.599 uh Anti who always when the year ends, it seems 0:04:22.640 --> 0:04:25.200 like or and when the year begins and we just beginning. 0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:27.240 This is the day three of the New year, that 0:04:27.320 --> 0:04:30.159 we lose uh, just big name people, you know. It 0:04:30.240 --> 0:04:32.800 was tragic that we lost the pope. The pope died. 0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:40.400 We also lost a media mogul. Uh. Just a trail blazer, yes, 0:04:40.680 --> 0:04:43.120 just a woman who had nobody else up to look 0:04:43.200 --> 0:04:45.040 up to, so she had to make her own path. 0:04:45.680 --> 0:04:47.919 Rest in peace at ninety three years young to the 0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:51.160 one and only Miss Barbara Walters, who everyone has come 0:04:51.200 --> 0:04:54.440 out with the outpourne and tributes and had such wonderful 0:04:54.480 --> 0:04:56.839 words to say about her. And I spoke to Sherry 0:04:56.880 --> 0:04:59.560 Shepherd personally and she told me, she said, flame Barbara 0:04:59.640 --> 0:05:02.880 was tough. But Barbara made you who you were. But 0:05:02.960 --> 0:05:04.839 she was tough, and I love that she said that 0:05:04.839 --> 0:05:06.720 because it ain't gonna always be easy. I need to 0:05:06.800 --> 0:05:10.800 learn that. But everyone has come and she has interviewed 0:05:10.880 --> 0:05:15.800 world leaders, sitting presidents, uh, enemies, everybody. I think Barbara 0:05:15.800 --> 0:05:19.520 lived a grand life. The Bible promises seventy years if 0:05:19.560 --> 0:05:22.080 you live right, and anything after that it's a blessing. 0:05:22.120 --> 0:05:25.200 So she had twenty three years blessings over that, and 0:05:25.320 --> 0:05:27.400 she met and knew everybody. I think she had an 0:05:27.400 --> 0:05:29.320 affair of Richard Pryor I read her book years ago. 0:05:29.360 --> 0:05:31.000 I think he and Richard Pryor had a flame. So 0:05:31.040 --> 0:05:33.719 she liked a little black girl magic up in, like 0:05:33.839 --> 0:05:38.000 a little seasoning. She liked the black Man magic up in. Yeah. 0:05:38.000 --> 0:05:40.760 I actually saw a clip where she was actually retiring 0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:44.120 from the view and the top like twenty five female 0:05:44.600 --> 0:05:47.160 journalists in the game at the time just showed up 0:05:47.200 --> 0:05:49.719 to give her her flowers and pay homage to hers. 0:05:49.839 --> 0:05:53.359 So watching that clip back after she's um, you know, past, 0:05:53.560 --> 0:05:56.120 was also just very inspiring, but just you know, touching 0:05:56.120 --> 0:05:59.919 at the same time, because, like you said, she created 0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:02.279 elane for women to really you know, do that. You know, 0:06:02.320 --> 0:06:06.240 Oprah attributes all of her success to Barbara Walters, you know. 0:06:06.360 --> 0:06:09.200 So it's just it's amazing to see all that she 0:06:09.279 --> 0:06:12.400 accomplished in her lifetime and really just how she blazed 0:06:12.440 --> 0:06:15.760 the path for people to follow. So she'll definitely be missed. 0:06:16.279 --> 0:06:19.240 And I watched that open open was the actual person 0:06:19.279 --> 0:06:22.440 who brought everybody, And I saw Amy Robock on there 0:06:22.720 --> 0:06:25.440 minus T J. Holmes, but Amy Robot was on there. 0:06:26.760 --> 0:06:28.120 It was and it was crazy to see it was 0:06:28.120 --> 0:06:33.440 like Amy Roebock, um, Elizabeth Hasselback, um, Jenne Hooda, so 0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:37.880 many different people. Diane Sawyer came out, you know, all 0:06:37.880 --> 0:06:40.599 of these different people came to say, you know, we 0:06:40.720 --> 0:06:43.240 love you, we appreciate you, You've done so much for us. 0:06:43.400 --> 0:06:47.040 So yeah, it was quite an incredible um video to 0:06:47.080 --> 0:06:49.840 watch back if I had, if I had to say 0:06:49.880 --> 0:06:53.120 any words over Barbara after her past, she lived, she 0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:55.440 left like she said, she left the legacy. She lived 0:06:55.480 --> 0:06:57.880 the grand life on what we saw she and she 0:06:58.440 --> 0:07:00.640 was faced with an adversity. And I thought I was 0:07:00.720 --> 0:07:04.359 put up against an adversity. But Hugh Downs, not now 0:07:04.480 --> 0:07:06.960 you Downs? Who was that she was on the news 0:07:07.080 --> 0:07:09.680 way back? It wasn't Hugh Downs. She Downs was her friend, 0:07:09.920 --> 0:07:11.880 but whoever was? He was very mean to her, even 0:07:11.880 --> 0:07:13.640 on air because he didn't want a co host, and 0:07:13.640 --> 0:07:16.560 he definitely did not want a female co host. And 0:07:16.560 --> 0:07:19.520 he made it abundantly clear on CBS way back when 0:07:19.560 --> 0:07:24.200 Barbara first got a start, when she got her first break, HM, well, 0:07:24.240 --> 0:07:27.360 and you see how that worked out. So she was 0:07:27.400 --> 0:07:29.840 still thriving at the end of the day, at sixty 0:07:29.840 --> 0:07:32.080 eight years old. She started to view at sixty eight, 0:07:32.120 --> 0:07:34.200 most people are retiring. Barbara said, let me kick off 0:07:34.240 --> 0:07:36.600 something that's gonna last and keep on lasting and the 0:07:36.720 --> 0:07:40.280 view is still on years. So kudos to you, Barbara. 0:07:40.400 --> 0:07:42.960 Barbara Wallings, may you rest in an eternal peace. And girl, 0:07:43.040 --> 0:07:44.680 you have left the legacy. I wish you'd have left 0:07:44.680 --> 0:07:46.240 me a couple of dollars to go with him. I 0:07:46.320 --> 0:07:49.640 appreciate it. I ain't know him. The step door to 0:07:49.680 --> 0:07:51.440 get it all she had. She had a one daughter 0:07:51.520 --> 0:07:55.200 and I'm sure she left everything to the daughter. Yeah, 0:07:55.200 --> 0:07:57.880 you gotta take care of your people's But also speaking 0:07:57.880 --> 0:08:00.640 in terms of tragic news, UM, we definitely want to 0:08:00.680 --> 0:08:04.520 say say our prayers UM out to Damar Hamlin's family 0:08:05.000 --> 0:08:09.920 of the Buffalo Bills. Uh. It was just tragic, honestly 0:08:10.320 --> 0:08:14.360 what happened to him. UM. And it's interesting too that 0:08:14.760 --> 0:08:18.480 it seems like a conversation is being sparked within the 0:08:18.600 --> 0:08:21.880 NFL again just about safety for players. I think a 0:08:21.880 --> 0:08:25.040 lot of times people forget, you know, just actually how 0:08:25.160 --> 0:08:28.280 violent of a sport football really is and how dangerous 0:08:28.280 --> 0:08:33.040 it is. So UM, I saw the video. It was 0:08:33.400 --> 0:08:36.400 very traumatizing. UM. And I know that you know, he's 0:08:36.400 --> 0:08:39.880 still in a critical condition, UM in the hospital, but 0:08:39.920 --> 0:08:43.280 I really hope that he's able to recover. And UM, 0:08:43.520 --> 0:08:45.400 just kind of get back to some sense of normalcy, 0:08:45.400 --> 0:08:47.439 because I don't know how you do that after kind of, 0:08:47.480 --> 0:08:50.640 you know, having an almost near death experience. So prayers 0:08:50.679 --> 0:08:53.360 go out to him and twenty four years old, you 0:08:53.400 --> 0:08:57.120 know what I was most that's very saying, it's very tragic, Lawrence, 0:08:57.200 --> 0:08:59.440 And I'm with you on that. Our prayers from laugh 0:08:59.520 --> 0:09:02.240 and I Hard Black Effect Network all go out to 0:09:02.600 --> 0:09:06.120 him and his family. But he had a UM. I 0:09:06.120 --> 0:09:09.000 think it was a nonprofit organization. He was raising money 0:09:09.000 --> 0:09:11.560 for the kids in his in his city. I think 0:09:11.559 --> 0:09:14.520 it is the Cincinnati or Cleveland. He plays for the 0:09:14.559 --> 0:09:17.079 Cincinnati don't excoose me. He paid plays for the Buffalo 0:09:17.120 --> 0:09:22.720 Bills and he promised uh Cincinnati, So he was raising money. 0:09:22.880 --> 0:09:26.640 He's nonprofit. He only had twenty dollars. Overnight, they have 0:09:26.760 --> 0:09:31.679 more than five million dollars. I loved it. I hate 0:09:31.679 --> 0:09:35.320 that it takes a tragedy for people to step up 0:09:35.320 --> 0:09:37.719 to help other people, but I love the fact that 0:09:37.760 --> 0:09:39.880 when people are in a corner, they will step up 0:09:39.880 --> 0:09:48.000 to help. Yeah. But um, I don't know. I always 0:09:48.040 --> 0:09:49.640 talked to my dad because like my dad used to 0:09:49.640 --> 0:09:53.440 coach football when I was younger too, And I don't 0:09:53.480 --> 0:09:55.640 I just feel like the focus kind of just gets 0:09:55.760 --> 0:09:59.400 shifted from the actual issue in hand, you know what 0:09:59.440 --> 0:10:01.880 I mean. I just don't think that these players are 0:10:01.920 --> 0:10:05.199 being protected well enough for them to do such a 0:10:05.320 --> 0:10:08.200 risky job. I don't think that there's enough parameters in 0:10:08.240 --> 0:10:11.679 place to really protect them. So I hope that this 0:10:11.760 --> 0:10:14.079 isn't just glossed over, and I just hope that this 0:10:14.200 --> 0:10:16.000 marks a new conversation. And I think it's great that 0:10:16.080 --> 0:10:19.040 his nonprofits being helped out, but I'm more so concerned 0:10:19.040 --> 0:10:21.800 about him, you know what I mean, because when he 0:10:21.800 --> 0:10:24.040 comes out of critical condition, because I'm gonna say that, 0:10:24.120 --> 0:10:26.559 you know, words have energy. When he gets out of this, 0:10:26.640 --> 0:10:29.120 you know, critical state, what is how is he going 0:10:29.160 --> 0:10:32.960 to be? You know? I hope he at I hope 0:10:33.000 --> 0:10:35.120 he bounces back. I really do hope that he has 0:10:35.120 --> 0:10:37.560 the mental capacity and fighting him to come back because 0:10:37.600 --> 0:10:40.199 he was the hometown hero too, and so many people 0:10:40.240 --> 0:10:42.360 have rallied together in his hometown to come and be 0:10:42.400 --> 0:10:44.880 there with him. So prayers to him. I'm telling you 0:10:44.920 --> 0:10:46.719 something right now. And as much as I love me 0:10:46.840 --> 0:10:49.320 some football, I always wanted to be a Dallas cowboy 0:10:49.400 --> 0:10:51.679 Chill lead, Oh my god. It was the uniforms. Oh 0:10:51.760 --> 0:10:53.760 I wanted me the shorts with the boots and the 0:10:54.120 --> 0:10:56.920 oh I could have worn out. Lord, I could have 0:10:56.960 --> 0:11:01.080 been the first trendy uh Dallas Cowboys leader. I'm sorry, 0:11:01.120 --> 0:11:05.199 trans woman cowboy chileader. And since we're speaking of trans women, girl, 0:11:05.240 --> 0:11:09.000 do you know what happened today? Was it today? Yesterday? Well? 0:11:09.040 --> 0:11:10.400 I don't know, but I wanted to say that on 0:11:10.440 --> 0:11:12.440 that on that note, since you brought it up though, 0:11:12.520 --> 0:11:16.920 you know that the Charlotte's football team actually has the 0:11:16.960 --> 0:11:20.880 first transgender cheerleader and I actually know her. We used 0:11:20.920 --> 0:11:23.960 to dance together a long time ago. Okay, yeah, but 0:11:24.040 --> 0:11:28.839 anyway would have been way back. I wanted to do 0:11:28.880 --> 0:11:31.280 it when Roger start Back was on Roger Starback was 0:11:31.320 --> 0:11:33.360 on the Dallas and so that goes, wait, you know 0:11:33.400 --> 0:11:35.160 how old that he is? No? I do know because 0:11:35.160 --> 0:11:37.600 my dad has always been a Dallas Cowboy fan. So yes, 0:11:37.960 --> 0:11:40.280 I know what's talking about. But anyway, go ahead, what's 0:11:40.360 --> 0:11:42.440 with the stars on the ask was just the cutest 0:11:42.480 --> 0:11:47.200 to me. I wanted to start on my booty speaking 0:11:47.240 --> 0:11:51.720 of trans women making making history and breaking barious. Trans 0:11:51.760 --> 0:11:55.520 woman was executed? I think it was yesterday? Was it yesterday? 0:11:55.720 --> 0:11:58.440 Oh really, I didn't know that. Yeah, first trans woman 0:11:58.480 --> 0:12:03.440 in history to ever be execut executed? Uh, what was 0:12:04.320 --> 0:12:06.680 I'm about to tell you exactly where it was, Lawend Hogan. 0:12:09.240 --> 0:12:16.200 Her name was, her name was. I'm I'm putting it 0:12:16.240 --> 0:12:22.680 down on my in my notes, very unprofessional and slay more. Okay, 0:12:22.720 --> 0:12:25.640 there it is right there, Milwalker. She was in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. 0:12:26.120 --> 0:12:35.280 Her name was um oh oh McLaughlin. Amber McLaughlin was 0:12:35.320 --> 0:12:39.360 her name. She stalked her ex girlfriend and stabbed her, 0:12:39.720 --> 0:12:44.800 and they executed her in Milwaukee. Wow. I think they 0:12:44.800 --> 0:12:50.760 said she snapped her six times, allegedly that limit warns 0:12:50.760 --> 0:12:54.000 the death penalty. Well, it was. I think it was 0:12:54.040 --> 0:12:57.440 also the stalking. You know, stalking is very serious. I 0:12:57.440 --> 0:13:01.400 think stocking might be as bad as attempt to murder. Wow. 0:13:02.880 --> 0:13:07.480 So yeah, they date this and listen, I'm not saying 0:13:07.480 --> 0:13:09.240 you do the crame, you do the time, but I'm 0:13:09.240 --> 0:13:12.160 with you long it seems so extreme. I don't know 0:13:12.240 --> 0:13:14.840 all the of the story because they haven't released a 0:13:14.880 --> 0:13:17.600 whole lot of details of the story, but nevertheless, they 0:13:17.600 --> 0:13:21.400 did execute her in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Is who remind me 0:13:21.440 --> 0:13:23.280 not to do nothing? I'm not even still a bag 0:13:23.280 --> 0:13:25.319 with age just and milwalking out mad picking up some 0:13:25.400 --> 0:13:28.360 chips and walking out the gas station. And I don't 0:13:28.360 --> 0:13:30.960 want to be insensitive to the family who you know, 0:13:31.400 --> 0:13:34.200 lost this young woman, but I'm talking about the woman 0:13:34.240 --> 0:13:37.239 that you know, Amber McLoughlin Stalketon killed, not being insensitive 0:13:37.240 --> 0:13:39.520 to them, But I personally feel like, if you do 0:13:39.600 --> 0:13:42.360 an egregious crime, I'd rather you spend your days sitting 0:13:42.360 --> 0:13:45.040 in a jail cell thinking about what you did. Um. 0:13:45.160 --> 0:13:47.520 I always think that execution is an easy way out. 0:13:47.559 --> 0:13:49.880 So we're not trying to offend her family in any way, 0:13:49.920 --> 0:13:52.960 but that just seems to get the death penalty for 0:13:53.000 --> 0:13:56.079 that is uh, I don't know. It's kind of raising 0:13:56.120 --> 0:13:58.280 my eyebrow. So maybe there was more to it that 0:13:58.320 --> 0:14:00.960 we're just not aware of. But saying that, so many 0:14:01.200 --> 0:14:03.280 there's so many components to the story that we don't 0:14:03.360 --> 0:14:06.160 know so exactly on the story. And if we do 0:14:06.240 --> 0:14:08.760 flame mats and and people out there and laugh and 0:14:08.840 --> 0:14:11.480 learn land we will give you more and more details 0:14:11.520 --> 0:14:16.120 details as we go. Where are we going, Lauren Hogan? Well, 0:14:16.600 --> 0:14:20.040 since we've gotten past, you know, sending our condolences to 0:14:20.120 --> 0:14:23.080 the two tragedies that we wanted to talk about we 0:14:23.160 --> 0:14:26.960 have to talk about the top story of the day. 0:14:27.120 --> 0:14:29.720 We just have to, and that is Kevin McCarthy. A 0:14:30.600 --> 0:14:34.880 third time was not the time for Mr McCarthy. About 0:14:34.920 --> 0:14:38.360 Kevin McCarthy and the fact that he lost three votes 0:14:39.520 --> 0:14:42.560 uh to become House to become Speaker of the House. 0:14:42.560 --> 0:14:46.760 Excuse me, lost three votes to Haakim Jeffreys, which I 0:14:46.800 --> 0:14:51.560 just think is so uh not three votes three times? 0:14:51.560 --> 0:14:54.560 Three times? Yes, the vote happened three times, and three 0:14:54.600 --> 0:14:58.080 times he lost to HAAKEM Jeffreys. And I'm so sorry. 0:14:58.320 --> 0:15:01.840 Watching the news today and seeing all the Democrats, especially 0:15:01.880 --> 0:15:04.960 the ones that looked like me that are brown skin, jumping, 0:15:05.080 --> 0:15:07.560 skipping and laughing. I don't know if you caught some 0:15:07.640 --> 0:15:09.720 of that in the background. I had to laugh. It 0:15:09.840 --> 0:15:13.920 was just so funny, isn't thee Because when the Republicans 0:15:13.920 --> 0:15:17.320 when they attack Nancy Pelopsi's husband Paul, they laughed. When 0:15:17.360 --> 0:15:21.080 things happened to Democrats, they laugh, it's just calmed turnabout, 0:15:21.080 --> 0:15:24.480 it's fair play. Well, what I just think is interesting 0:15:24.560 --> 0:15:27.840 is that you're really starting to see these dividing lines 0:15:27.880 --> 0:15:32.200 within the Republican Party. Um and it's almost like, I 0:15:32.280 --> 0:15:34.320 hate to say this, but the Republicans are starting to 0:15:34.320 --> 0:15:38.160 look a little like the Democrats. Democrats are finally we're 0:15:38.200 --> 0:15:40.960 finally getting our stuff together, which I'm I'm so happy. 0:15:41.040 --> 0:15:44.160 It seems like we're starting to form an agenda that 0:15:44.240 --> 0:15:47.320 everybody's on the same accord with. I love the Hakim Jeffreys. 0:15:47.640 --> 0:15:52.040 You know, is um succeeded Nancy Pelosi. Um. I think 0:15:52.080 --> 0:15:55.560 he's an amazing congressman. Um. But now it just seems 0:15:55.560 --> 0:15:58.080 like the Republicans just they got some problems that they 0:15:58.080 --> 0:16:01.240 got to work through. They've been they've been creating these 0:16:01.280 --> 0:16:04.320 problems for themselves for quite some time, starting with Carrie 0:16:04.440 --> 0:16:08.160 Lake over there in in Arizona. Then y'all went and 0:16:08.240 --> 0:16:11.280 got the mule of all mules, Hurshel Walker, to be 0:16:11.360 --> 0:16:14.080 a bullheaded food for y'all, who made y'all embarrass you'll 0:16:14.120 --> 0:16:16.880 even more. But it started a few years ago with 0:16:16.920 --> 0:16:19.640 the presidents y'all elected. Who has really come out to 0:16:19.640 --> 0:16:22.320 see that ain't paid taxes and years been lying and 0:16:22.360 --> 0:16:25.680 will will you know what's so messed up? Lauren is? 0:16:25.720 --> 0:16:29.160 I wish that the voting for the Speaker of the 0:16:29.200 --> 0:16:32.520 House was like baseball, three strikes you out, because in 0:16:32.680 --> 0:16:35.440 eighteen fifty six, and you help me with this one. 0:16:35.880 --> 0:16:38.360 How many times did they vote before they made the decision? 0:16:38.520 --> 0:16:41.480 They voted A hundred and thirty three times over your 0:16:41.560 --> 0:16:46.400 span of two months. Money, Yeah, a hundred and thirty 0:16:46.440 --> 0:16:48.680 three times over two months. But I mean, I think 0:16:48.680 --> 0:16:52.200 the thing that's interesting is, you know, the the amount 0:16:52.240 --> 0:16:55.640 of people that voted today, it didn't change. So the 0:16:55.680 --> 0:16:58.560 Congress holds four hundred thirty five seats. Four hundred thirty 0:16:58.560 --> 0:17:01.560 four people voted, so one person wasn't there that didn't vote. 0:17:01.720 --> 0:17:06.280 But each time hawkeeen Jeffreies was only six votes away 0:17:06.480 --> 0:17:10.200 from winning. There's two hundred and twelve Democratic seats currently 0:17:10.440 --> 0:17:13.760 in the House. Um, the Republicans still do have the majority, 0:17:13.960 --> 0:17:16.640 but like I said, there's a split within their party. 0:17:16.680 --> 0:17:19.480 So Kevin McCarthy just can't get over that two hundred 0:17:19.560 --> 0:17:21.959 eighteen hump because even the last of all that they 0:17:22.000 --> 0:17:24.880 had today, Jim Jordan's threw his name in the hat 0:17:25.359 --> 0:17:29.159 and got twenty votes and Kevin McCarthy only had two 0:17:29.240 --> 0:17:31.680 hundred and two. So had those twenty people that voted 0:17:31.680 --> 0:17:34.640 for Jim Jordan and just refused to vote for Kevin McCarthy, 0:17:34.680 --> 0:17:37.240 he would have won. He would have won. He would 0:17:37.240 --> 0:17:40.000 have gotten two hundred votes you need to eighteen. He 0:17:40.040 --> 0:17:44.399 would have won. But there's like nine Republicans that just 0:17:44.400 --> 0:17:46.480 ain't rocking with him, which I think is interesting. He 0:17:46.560 --> 0:17:49.400 jumped on their bandwig with the whole Janie We're six committee. 0:17:50.040 --> 0:17:53.040 It's not even that though. You know, it's interesting when 0:17:53.040 --> 0:17:55.680 you hear you know, commentators today they're saying that this 0:17:56.920 --> 0:18:00.080 really doesn't have anything to do with Trump, it's not 0:18:00.160 --> 0:18:04.399 even Trump related. Well, McCarthy also a push to stop 0:18:04.440 --> 0:18:07.080 to steal some of his policies and some of his 0:18:07.119 --> 0:18:09.560 wishy washy antics. People just don't want to deal with 0:18:09.600 --> 0:18:12.360 it because he too in and out. They can't trust him, 0:18:12.400 --> 0:18:15.520 They cannot trust him. Yeah, they called he was being 0:18:15.560 --> 0:18:18.640 called the main alligator and the swamp today and people 0:18:18.680 --> 0:18:20.040 are saying they didn't want to be a part of 0:18:20.040 --> 0:18:22.560 the swamp. Uh. Some of the shade that was thrown 0:18:22.600 --> 0:18:25.320 his way was actually quite comical today too among his 0:18:25.359 --> 0:18:29.120 own party, So, you know, and some top tactics are 0:18:29.200 --> 0:18:31.359 you know, you just keep voting over and over again, 0:18:31.359 --> 0:18:34.800 and you tire some of those older Congress folks out 0:18:34.800 --> 0:18:36.440 because you know, they want to leave and go home 0:18:36.480 --> 0:18:40.040 and go to bed. But I think collectively today because 0:18:40.080 --> 0:18:43.520 they adjourned it about five thirty, UM, they need to 0:18:43.520 --> 0:18:45.720 go have an internal meeting and figure out who they're 0:18:45.720 --> 0:18:48.560 going to nominate, because the feedback I heard on the 0:18:48.600 --> 0:18:51.199 news today was that Kevin McCarthy ain't gonna get it. 0:18:51.680 --> 0:18:54.200 The next person is Jim Jordan. But people have issues 0:18:54.240 --> 0:18:57.360 with Jim Jordan's for obvious reasons, and the other one 0:18:57.520 --> 0:18:59.720 is a Scalise and people have issues with him as well. 0:18:59.760 --> 0:19:02.480 You know, police was actually shot on the while he 0:19:02.520 --> 0:19:06.920 was playing baseball. Remember that. I remember that. I got yes, 0:19:07.240 --> 0:19:12.439 I say, bring Nancy Pelosi back. I love you know 0:19:12.480 --> 0:19:15.200 I love Nancy Pelosi. I know you love her. And 0:19:15.280 --> 0:19:18.120 she um even got a chamber named after her. She's 0:19:18.160 --> 0:19:20.680 done a lot of great things. But like I said before, 0:19:20.720 --> 0:19:22.600 it's time to pass the baton, and I think she 0:19:22.760 --> 0:19:25.000 passed it to the best person, which is how Kim jeffreyes. 0:19:25.119 --> 0:19:30.560 So he's really only six votes away from becoming, you know, 0:19:30.880 --> 0:19:33.120 Speaker of the House again. Is he gonna get six 0:19:33.160 --> 0:19:38.639 Republicans to vote for him? Probably not. It would be 0:19:38.680 --> 0:19:42.120 interesting Republicans that would jump ship and turn and both 0:19:42.160 --> 0:19:44.359 of him would get the ass handed to them. By 0:19:44.359 --> 0:19:46.840 their own party. They would, they really would, and it 0:19:46.880 --> 0:19:49.199 would make their time in Congress very hard. You know, 0:19:49.280 --> 0:19:51.560 some of these folks are gonna be in Congress for 0:19:51.560 --> 0:19:55.280 at least two years, some four, you know, so it 0:19:55.320 --> 0:19:57.720 would it would be very hard for them, for sure. 0:19:57.840 --> 0:20:02.520 But he was only six votes way, only six votes away. 0:20:02.560 --> 0:20:04.560 So I mean, I feel like we're living in a 0:20:04.600 --> 0:20:06.560 time where stranger things have happened. So I'm never gonna 0:20:06.560 --> 0:20:10.560 say never, but it's definitely wishful thinking. So well, I'm 0:20:10.560 --> 0:20:13.040 praying and hoping that somebody gets up in some Republicans, 0:20:13.080 --> 0:20:15.920 them six Republicans years tonight and say just take the hit, 0:20:16.000 --> 0:20:17.959 take the hit and just vote for him. Let's just 0:20:18.000 --> 0:20:20.359 do Oh my god, the history, Oh my god, the 0:20:20.480 --> 0:20:24.320 history of it all. It would be a very huge 0:20:24.680 --> 0:20:28.080 if he got elected, as if Kim Jeffrey's got elected 0:20:28.119 --> 0:20:31.240 as a Speaker of the House with a Republican majority 0:20:31.520 --> 0:20:35.560 in the Congress, Yeah, he might very well make history. Well, 0:20:35.560 --> 0:20:38.400 I personally think that they should one vote person who 0:20:38.440 --> 0:20:41.119 should not be able to vote is George Santos, the 0:20:41.119 --> 0:20:45.239 guy who was newly elected to Congress in um in 0:20:45.280 --> 0:20:50.320 New York because he lied to get them. He I'm sorry. 0:20:50.560 --> 0:20:57.439 The words they used was he ellished his resume. Yeah, back, folks, 0:20:57.560 --> 0:21:00.960 term this nigga laughed from front to back, make up income, 0:21:01.000 --> 0:21:03.440 he made up a nationality. He went from black and white, 0:21:03.440 --> 0:21:06.560 from preplet to green, from straight to gay, from Jewish 0:21:06.600 --> 0:21:10.879 to uh Hebrew, just lad all the way around. The 0:21:10.920 --> 0:21:13.040 trick of that would have been when he got to 0:21:13.080 --> 0:21:16.760 work today that morning. They should have said, oh, we 0:21:16.680 --> 0:21:18.720 were just kidding. We gave it to somebody else says 0:21:18.720 --> 0:21:20.480 you lad, we did it too. But that ain't what 0:21:20.520 --> 0:21:23.240 they did. I just think some of the stories that 0:21:23.280 --> 0:21:25.760 have come out about him today are funny. Um. One 0:21:25.760 --> 0:21:28.919 of the New York Times headlines is, George Santos came 0:21:28.960 --> 0:21:34.320 to Washington. It was awkward. So some of the headlines, Yeah, 0:21:34.359 --> 0:21:37.200 the Washington Post George Santos had an awkward first day 0:21:37.200 --> 0:21:41.320 in Congress. Rolling Stone said, liar, George santos first day 0:21:41.320 --> 0:21:44.880 in Congress is off to a rocky start. Um. So 0:21:45.720 --> 0:21:49.800 it's interesting people magazines quoting it correctly. George Santos lied 0:21:50.359 --> 0:21:55.800 during first day in Congress. It's it's very interesting to see. 0:21:55.840 --> 0:21:59.080 But he was, you know, the people elected him based 0:21:59.119 --> 0:22:05.320 on you know, an incorrect resume. But you know what, 0:22:05.320 --> 0:22:10.439 what's mind boggling to me, Mrs Hogan, is that I 0:22:10.480 --> 0:22:13.119 can't understand this is and he's not even he's not 0:22:13.160 --> 0:22:17.960 even Caucasian. No, he's not. But and I don't mean 0:22:18.000 --> 0:22:23.560 any offense when I say this, but in anybody's experience 0:22:23.640 --> 0:22:27.280 in the world, there are certain people of Latino scent 0:22:27.400 --> 0:22:31.199 that preferred to assimilate with you know, white people. They 0:22:31.240 --> 0:22:36.639 do so, and sometimes you see that in certain cases 0:22:36.680 --> 0:22:39.720 like the one we're discussing. But go ahead, well, no, 0:22:40.000 --> 0:22:41.800 I mean I was saying that. I was saying that, 0:22:43.080 --> 0:22:45.480 not to say that you know that he was trying 0:22:45.560 --> 0:22:48.200 trying to be something that he wasn't. But I would 0:22:48.200 --> 0:22:50.520 expect that to happen to somebody black and brown, even 0:22:50.560 --> 0:22:54.400
