Speaker 1: He laugh. If you watch Coffee Time the baby, you
Speaker 1: know the name Flame, my role also known as my
Speaker 1: role Flame. Come in with last and come in with
Speaker 1: Don love Lunds. Baby, you better catch it when you
Speaker 1: can't drop a knowledge from Fatherhood of Politics shouting now
Speaker 1: comics just paying homics. What's up? Tip? Yeah? You know
Speaker 1: she raped shot Towns on speaking to the grown a second.
Speaker 1: We're gonna last cut of the kicking and at the
Speaker 1: end we leave it with just a lift dispirite if
Speaker 1: you want to revisit, so your first like a listen,
Speaker 1: young folks, like it's lit all folks that we dick it.
Speaker 1: Do what you do? No, do what you do? No kids,
Speaker 1: do what I do? Hey, Hey, hey, welcome to laugh
Speaker 1: and learn. I'm your host Flaming Road, along with my beautiful,
Speaker 1: gorgeous always on vacation and working co hosts and wonderful
Speaker 1: Lauren Hogan. Are you gonna say I'm on vacation and
Speaker 1: working at the same time. I don't make no sense.
Speaker 1: It's a a k work working day. You're always gone, y'all.
Speaker 1: I can't keep on like like I just got back
Speaker 1: one am this morning show. Flame. I didn't even tell you, Okay,
Speaker 1: before we officially get started. Um, a white man, a
Speaker 1: white woman, and a black man I was sitting next
Speaker 1: to in a little third row. I was on the
Speaker 1: left side on the window seat, the black man in
Speaker 1: the middle, and the white lady on the end was
Speaker 1: literally fighting. I didn't even tell you. I forgot why.
Speaker 1: So he was a larger man. He was about six three,
Speaker 1: you know, so he's in the middle, so he takes
Speaker 1: up more space. I was annoying initially too, because I
Speaker 1: felt like he was kind of sliding over into my space.
Speaker 1: But I'm like, you know what, he's a big dude,
Speaker 1: and not like he was fat, but you know, he's
Speaker 1: just he's big. He's six three. But flame the white woman,
Speaker 1: I think she might have been Dutch or Romanian or something.
Speaker 1: She was literally just like knocking her elbow into him.
Speaker 1: They were like fighting back and forth. The flight attendant
Speaker 1: had to come and separate them more than once, and
Speaker 1: he eventually had to move. It was bad. I thought
Speaker 1: they were gonna have to land the plane because now
Speaker 1: you got my nine because I know I know how
Speaker 1: you fly, and so I know you never flat. No,
Speaker 1: nothing less than delt Delta Comfort Plus, which has a
Speaker 1: little more legroom. So if you're saying that he was
Speaker 1: tight and that he really was, why didn't they just
Speaker 1: with seats? Was she a big girl too? No, she wasn't,
Speaker 1: and she was. And the thing that made it so
Speaker 1: bad is she was lying that she wasn't hitting him,
Speaker 1: So everybody around us was like, she's lying. She's like,
Speaker 1: I'm sixty five, you're six three. How could I hit you?
Speaker 1: And it was just like this is the black woman
Speaker 1: in church and pinched the ship out of him. But
Speaker 1: it just sat me thinking because you know, we've talked
Speaker 1: about how you know, people were stuck in the house
Speaker 1: and COVID attentions were just higher. But I literally got it, like,
Speaker 1: you know, in real time. And then on top of that,
Speaker 1: this white woman is lying on this black man and
Speaker 1: we had, you know, white male steward has come by
Speaker 1: and he initially was trying to listen to the white
Speaker 1: woman until everybody around us was like, no, she's lying,
Speaker 1: Like that's not what happened. It was just crazy. So
Speaker 1: I forgot even tell you that. But yeah, that was
Speaker 1: my flight last night and I got home at one am.
Speaker 1: Look at least had entertainment on your flight. I'm glad
Speaker 1: nobody was, and I'm making light of it, but so
Speaker 1: many people are sitting on edge and waiting like a
Speaker 1: powdered kig to explode. What if she would have win
Speaker 1: did something crazy and tried to open the doors and
Speaker 1: something like that. I personally think on the planes now
Speaker 1: that they should give codes to open the doors only
Speaker 1: to the stewardesses and to the pilots, because I think,
Speaker 1: like you go to the bathroom, you have to go
Speaker 1: sometimes you have to go past the door. What if
Speaker 1: somebody just said there he wing to have a mental
Speaker 1: breakdown and open the door, Everybody's going to die. Yeah.
Speaker 1: It was crazy. And you know, as much as I feel,
Speaker 1: I shouldn't get on another plane on Friday and then
Speaker 1: I gotta fly again the following Wednesday. As much as
Speaker 1: I fly like to have and I think I'm lucky
Speaker 1: because I haven't had really like many incidents. But yesterday
Speaker 1: I'm not even gonna lie. I was a little nervous
Speaker 1: because I was like, okay, this is it was escalating
Speaker 1: because they were like getting physical with each other, and
Speaker 1: it's a plane, it's a small cabin, so it just
Speaker 1: wild wild wow. But when that was an experience, I'm
Speaker 1: glad you're okay, Loine, And I'm glad you didn't get
Speaker 1: in the middle level because you know, sometimes on the
Speaker 1: outside looking in and you see the injustice, you want
Speaker 1: to say something. You've been around me a long time.
Speaker 1: First of all, you spoke up anyway because your mouth.
Speaker 1: But you've been around my for quite some time, and
Speaker 1: you know I'm not having none of it, none of it,
Speaker 1: you know. I said something. Yeah, I was like, she's lying,
Speaker 1: because we're not about to do that. I did say.
Speaker 1: I was like, she's lying. And then there were even
Speaker 1: some white ladies behind me too, they were like, she's lying,
Speaker 1: she's lying. So but you're right. Yeah, It's it's crazy.
Speaker 1: These can these parents have gotten the way with it
Speaker 1: for so long because I hated so many of us
Speaker 1: are afraid to speak up. And then the black ones
Speaker 1: that I'm speaking up that have the lamb light. I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna say his name seeing ridiculous foolish stuff. I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna say the craziest one name, but the second
Speaker 1: craziest one. Let's get to it right now. That's our producer.
Speaker 1: Let's get to the craziest one. As Ringling Brothers bonding,
Speaker 1: Bailey circus closed about ten years ago. But the clown
Speaker 1: is running loose in Georgia and his name is her
Speaker 1: show Walker good when I tell you at Warden destroyed
Speaker 1: Raphael Warden told his ass up on the debates the
Speaker 1: other night, and without even trying. You know the old
Speaker 1: adage they say, give a nigg enough ropia, hang yourself
Speaker 1: one I could. They're stood there completely quiet. All all
Speaker 1: Walker ever has to do is open his mouth, and
Speaker 1: the most idiotic things that you could possibly think of
Speaker 1: just jump out. I gotta tell you, it's like when
Speaker 1: I listened to him talk, it makes my brain hurt.
Speaker 1: I don't know if anybody else like feels that way,
Speaker 1: but I feel dumb listening to him. Like listening to
Speaker 1: him talk, it makes me feel dumb because I don't
Speaker 1: understand what actually completely the opposite. I took me five
Speaker 1: years ago out of high school and I didn't go
Speaker 1: to college. He makes me feel like I am a
Speaker 1: rocket scientist. She said, I'm Einstein. Baby. I want to
Speaker 1: be asked that he was a pedophile. No, thank you,
Speaker 1: not him. Wait a minute, baby, they're not already brought
Speaker 1: all that out. That's why I keep saying, and they
Speaker 1: keep giving this term genius. They keep giving this term genius,
Speaker 1: and they keep affiliating it. Feel beating it with money.
Speaker 1: Money does not make you genius. Again, in the words
Speaker 1: of the Great oprah My Diva said, money only allows
Speaker 1: you to be more of what you already were. So
Speaker 1: if you a fool, money just makes you a bigger food. Honey,
Speaker 1: Hersha Walker is a bigger fool, I'm telling you. When
Speaker 1: he poured out that fake as may be very bad,
Speaker 1: I looked at and the moderator was like, hats off
Speaker 1: to the moderator because she checked him. I love that
Speaker 1: she did not let him run over her, even though
Speaker 1: he kept trying to out talk her. Yeah, and the
Speaker 1: thing is too you know, he had that whole abortion
Speaker 1: thing come out last week, and we talked about that
Speaker 1: a little bit. I think the thing that's crazy to
Speaker 1: me is the Republicans doubled down on their support of him.
Speaker 1: They doubled down and they said, Nope, we're still going
Speaker 1: to support him, and we're just gonna run with it,
Speaker 1: because it almost feels like they really think that black
Speaker 1: people are just that stupid. Well, well, here's the thing
Speaker 1: with the Republicans of that. I can't remember the the name.
Speaker 1: And I'm not sure we talked about this last week,
Speaker 1: but that lady said, I think she's from Arizona. I
Speaker 1: don't care if he's pulling the ears of baby bunnies.
Speaker 1: We just won't control other Senate. I respect him more
Speaker 1: than anyone else in the on the Republican party because
Speaker 1: at least she told us exactly what it is. They
Speaker 1: don't care who's in that position. They just want to
Speaker 1: make sure that they have that power of that position
Speaker 1: because they're gonna control him anyway. He is a complete
Speaker 1: puppet for them, complete puppet. So she was the only
Speaker 1: one who just put it right there. She turned the
Speaker 1: cards off and say here it is right here. I
Speaker 1: don't care what he did. I don't care who he
Speaker 1: has done it too. We won't control of the Senate.
Speaker 1: And if he's in that position, that's what we want
Speaker 1: because they control him. That is very scary for us
Speaker 1: as as an African American people in this bluelet country.
Speaker 1: I said, uh huh, I tell you what, if I
Speaker 1: lived in Georgia, I would go give me a fake
Speaker 1: I D and my woman named my man name and
Speaker 1: probably a kid's name. Baby. I'm voting for three different
Speaker 1: times not for him actually talking about election. For our Jesus,
Speaker 1: it's about to happen. Get Ready, No, remember eighth is around.
Speaker 1: Get ready trust me when I tell you. Get ready
Speaker 1: because the problem is a lot of the Republicans are
Speaker 1: implementing and having their people go to work at the
Speaker 1: polls just so they can have control of the votes. Now,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say that they're going to cheat or
Speaker 1: what have you, but a lot of the votes and
Speaker 1: make it changed. And they have keep showing this that
Speaker 1: this voter front and they a lot of these Republicans,
Speaker 1: Trump included, it's still pushing the narrative of it was
Speaker 1: a stolen election. The election was not stolen. Well. Part
Speaker 1: and part of that too, though, flame is that the
Speaker 1: actual those the poll workers that actually have integrity, they're
Speaker 1: scared to go work the polls because of what happened
Speaker 1: during with Trump and how even in Georgia. Even in Georgia, yeah,
Speaker 1: like the there was a pope. There was two poll workers.
Speaker 1: It was actually a mother and a daughter. They received
Speaker 1: death threats and we had to run home scared behind that.
Speaker 1: So Trump literally, you know, practice intimidation tactics and it
Speaker 1: worked because people are now scared to work the polls.
Speaker 1: Fear has never changed this country. That's why. That's how
Speaker 1: it kept us in slave They kept through fear, whether
Speaker 1: it was the whip or the selling of our children
Speaker 1: or what have you. But it was always fear. We
Speaker 1: were supposed to be a different breed of black people.
Speaker 1: But I tell you what, I'll watch some old movies
Speaker 1: sometimes I'm telling you, I don't know. I don't know
Speaker 1: if we didn't get weaker in our DNA, in our constitution,
Speaker 1: or what have you. But again it goes back to
Speaker 1: our fabulous producer Aaron. What he said a little while
Speaker 1: earlier before we before were when we were pre taping that. Um,
Speaker 1: I forgot. I just lost my train of thought. What
Speaker 1: did you say, Aaron? What did he say about us
Speaker 1: as a people? Yeah? And I don't even had to
Speaker 1: ad him. An't that something? I can't remember what it was,
Speaker 1: but it was so great talking about that, more more
Speaker 1: so saying that we're things are just going back to
Speaker 1: being the same way that they used to be. I
Speaker 1: don't know what has happened to us as people. We
Speaker 1: have more black millionaires and billionaires ever that ever before,
Speaker 1: but the power is so separated because people want to
Speaker 1: hold on to their money more than they want to
Speaker 1: hold on to their DNA. Oh, I think what you
Speaker 1: were saying, what Aaron was saying too, is like, it's
Speaker 1: troll culture. Now, thank you don't remember? Good God, what
Speaker 1: do you remember? Everything? But no, he right, But to
Speaker 1: Aaron's point, so he would say that it's troll culture.
Speaker 1: And I think that there was really a word in
Speaker 1: that is that it's not even about cancel culture anymore.
Speaker 1: It's about the troll culture, and it's more about controlling
Speaker 1: the narrative with lies, because it's it's about what you
Speaker 1: can get people to believe, and then you basically bully
Speaker 1: people with that rhetoric until they gets ingrained in their
Speaker 1: mind that they actually think it's the truth. And it's
Speaker 1: crazy to see that that's honestly what's happening with our
Speaker 1: country at this point in time. The pandemic wasn't awakening
Speaker 1: to us as as a nation to show the world
Speaker 1: that we would we would push hate and bitterness more
Speaker 1: than we pushed love and positivity, and we do. The
Speaker 1: entire world pushes hate and and beness. That that gets
Speaker 1: more clickbait. If I see a podcast and say my
Speaker 1: son graduated from college, and I'm so proud of him.
Speaker 1: And and I see one right next to it and say, oh,
Speaker 1: we just jumped on the vice president and went after
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go to that one and don't ask me why,
Speaker 1: because I'm gonna I'm gonna be intrigued to see what happened,
Speaker 1: even though if you, if you, I know, and it's
Speaker 1: usually it says that, but then when you go watch
Speaker 1: the video, it's nothing like that. That is where we are.
Speaker 1: It's clickbait. Yeah, it's literally click bait. And I know,
Speaker 1: I know you said we wasn't gonna mention it, but
Speaker 1: I mean, I just have to feel I'm sorry, I'm
Speaker 1: just compelled to say this. At this point, Um, Mr
Speaker 1: West is the epitome of clickbait. He is, at this
Speaker 1: point in time, he that is the prime example of
Speaker 1: what clickbait is and how you're drawing people in conspiracy
Speaker 1: theories and you know it's not true. That's He's a
Speaker 1: prime example. And and on that note too, I gotta
Speaker 1: give cluar us to Lebron James because even though that
Speaker 1: this one pod cast air that episode, which I don't
Speaker 1: think that they should have based on knowing that he
Speaker 1: was spewing pay for rhetoric and lies. He was actually
Speaker 1: on Lebron James's Um Barbershop show HBO. They pulled his episode.
Speaker 1: Excellent for that reason. Excellent, Lebron. If we don't, if
Speaker 1: we as a black people don't stand up for ourselves,
Speaker 1: it's you see that. I'm not gonna say his name,
Speaker 1: but you real. When as long as he came after
Speaker 1: black folks on any social media platform he had, it
Speaker 1: was okay. He came at the Dunes, they shut it down.
Speaker 1: What's the company that took their money back? Yes, no,
Speaker 1: thank you. You don't want to deal with it. Yep.
Speaker 1: It's crazy, and especially during time now like this upcoming
Speaker 1: week is like the start of midterms in like Nevada
Speaker 1: and Georgia and Florida. Everybody's raced between the Democrats and
Speaker 1: the Republicans is like a three to five percent margin.
Speaker 1: This was what we're about to encounter is about to
Speaker 1: be so huge on the political space, even more so
Speaker 1: before because to your point, you know, COVID definitely put
Speaker 1: like a catalyst into I feel like what we're seeing now.
Speaker 1: But I think when we look at it between COVID
Speaker 1: and Trump together, that was like an atomic bomb that
Speaker 1: we just weren't expecting to blow. We didn't look. We
Speaker 1: didn't even need Putin to do that exactly. Oh, speaking
Speaker 1: of Trump and who was just subpoena about the January
Speaker 1: six committee, thank you, Not that that means a whole lot,
Speaker 1: because he'll probably show up and played the fifth or
Speaker 1: one want to answer, but it's giving him so much
Speaker 1: media attention, which he absolutely loves that. We don't know
Speaker 1: how this is going to play out, but I loved it.
Speaker 1: All the tapes that coming out that they've seen from
Speaker 1: January six with Nancy Pelosi said, you know, you know
Speaker 1: first of all of me, my my wife. Y'all know,
Speaker 1: I love me some Nancy, Me and Nancy gonna share
Speaker 1: Pampers baby with Nancy. I like the punchment of face,
Speaker 1: and I go to jail and be happy. That thrilled
Speaker 1: me because Nancy, to me, has always had the biggest
Speaker 1: balls in the Democratic Party. I absolutely love that. But
Speaker 1: when all they're coming out those people were afraid of
Speaker 1: their life, for their lives Lauren, and then when they're
Speaker 1: showing the videotapes of the gap, the people out there rally.
Speaker 1: If you listen to some of these idiots toothless w
Speaker 1: t s and I ain't gonna say the word on here,
Speaker 1: but they were wts to the tenth power, openly and
Speaker 1: blatantly racist and hapeo. And it was a few of
Speaker 1: us black folks sprinkled out there, but at that turn left,
Speaker 1: the black people would have been the first ones to
Speaker 1: be shot and kill y'all out there participating in all
Speaker 1: this focutions. It's just it's ridiculous to me. Can I
Speaker 1: tell you the funniest thing, um, And I know Trevor
Speaker 1: Noah show was going away on Comedy Central, but the
Speaker 1: funniest part of his show was he had a correspondent
Speaker 1: that used to go out to Trump rallies and basically
Speaker 1: just ask these you know, Trump supporters basic questions and
Speaker 1: used to just make them look stupid. And then they
Speaker 1: would just cut reels behind it and it would just
Speaker 1: showcase just how stupid their comments were based on what
Speaker 1: they say, that their morals and values are, that they supported,
Speaker 1: just a conflict of entry. It was just the funniest
Speaker 1: thing ever. Um. I fully enjoyed those clips. But uh,
Speaker 1: President Trump or I'm sorry, former President Trump has um
Speaker 1: quite a few cases against him. I don't know if
Speaker 1: you saw the newest one with Egene Carroll. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: I don't even know how many cases this man has
Speaker 1: at this point. Badly, Lord and God Jesus, I cannot
Speaker 1: even believe you about to say this. But sadly, even
Speaker 1: with all this opposition facing him, do you know I
Speaker 1: think they can still allow him to be on the ticket.
Speaker 1: I don't think they are. It's going to be very
Speaker 1: interesting to see, my partner, I promise you will be,
Speaker 1: because if they do, good God, I'll hell gonna break loose. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't think that they're going to allow him to
Speaker 1: do that. Um, Because this is what I really feel
Speaker 1: in my spirit is that the only way that Trump
Speaker 1: is really has a chance of winning again is if
Speaker 1: he runs against Joe Biden, because they can push the
Speaker 1: well Trump did this, Biden didn't. That they can do
Speaker 1: the back and forth thing. But if we get a
Speaker 1: different um Democratic nominee, which I don't know what's gonna happen, come,
Speaker 1: But if we get a different Democratic nominee like a
Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom, Trump's not gonna have a chance. So the
Speaker 1: only way that this is gonna work if if it's
Speaker 1: old white man versus old white man. If so, I
Speaker 1: think that the Republicans are starting to lean into a
Speaker 1: different direction of like a Rod de Santists or somebody
Speaker 1: else like that, because they will probably have a better chance.
Speaker 1: Trump has way too many cases against him at this point,
Speaker 1: and putting him on the ticket is just he's a
Speaker 1: liability at this point, you know. And that's the reason
Speaker 1: he would want to be president, because they won't put
Speaker 1: a sitting president in in in jail. Uh And speaking
Speaker 1: of good Democrats, and I know I gave him hell
Speaker 1: when when they were running in but Boody Chad is
Speaker 1: very favorable amongst the Democratic Democratic, calling you bright now,
Speaker 1: Booty Jade is very favorable. He's not gonna win a
Speaker 1: presidential election though, oh no, he's not going because as
Speaker 1: much as we think that the country Western Virginia slimsan slogan,
Speaker 1: we've come a long way, baby my l G B
Speaker 1: t Q I A plus community, we have come a
Speaker 1: long way, but not as far as you think. And
Speaker 1: y'all proved that with the movie Bros. Two weeks ago,
Speaker 1: because y'all huffed and puffed to y'all got a gay
Speaker 1: movie mainstream rom com. And then the Gates forgot to
Speaker 1: go and support it. I'm just saying I need you
Speaker 1: to pay attention to what is really happening, I said,
Speaker 1: And I don't think that is that wouldn't win because
Speaker 1: you know he's gay or anything. I just don't think
Speaker 1: that he has um enough enough umph, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean? Like we really need somebody that's gonna like
Speaker 1: be able to be a go getter and not like,
Speaker 1: you know, kind of cower when it's when when things
Speaker 1: get rough, you know what I mean? I love somebody
Speaker 1: like Avenue disagree. I love you and I completely disagree
Speaker 1: with you. They ain't gonna let him mean cause he gay. Girl,
Speaker 1: we have knocked far it is. It's gonna be. He
Speaker 1: could be the greatest politician with a clean record, but
Speaker 1: because they know he is openly gay. Got the hood, girl,
Speaker 1: that's all they here. You know how when I go
Speaker 1: on stage, what do I always say and when I
Speaker 1: reintroduce myself, I am a comedy in there what happens
Speaker 1: to be transgender? And I'm telling you he would have
Speaker 1: to come out and say that I am a politician
Speaker 1: and a Democrat that happens to be gay, because when
Speaker 1: you hear gay already. Well, I know, I know what
Speaker 1: you're saying, but I'm saying in this country, when you
Speaker 1: hear gay or homosexual first, you forget to hear the
Speaker 1: other part. That's all you hear. This country is so
Speaker 1: set up to for wrong or for what they want
Speaker 1: that you don't hear I'm a gay, I'm a gay professor,
Speaker 1: I'm a gay president, I'm a gay politician. You once
Speaker 1: you hear the word gay, it stopped right there. And
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that off of hearing that. I have
Speaker 1: lived that as a comedian and being part of the
Speaker 1: community for thirty seven years. I want to study with
Speaker 1: that thirty seven year narrative. I want to lose that,
Speaker 1: even a party community with thirty seven years and thirty
Speaker 1: seven years old, I'll believe it. Okay, I believe it.
Speaker 1: The Republicans selling y'all a dream. Why not should I
Speaker 1: believe it? But I'm at a point that we're learn
Speaker 1: as a as an American, as a black American, as
Speaker 1: a transgender of transgender experience in this country that I'm
Speaker 1: almost seeing what we have with the Democratic Party. I'm
Speaker 1: I'm leaning towards becoming an independent. I can understand that
Speaker 1: though yeah, I can definitely understand that. And it's and
Speaker 1: it's the same thing on the other side too, because
Speaker 1: if you think about it, there's a lot of Republicans
Speaker 1: after Trump, you know, came into office, and then they
Speaker 1: kind of saw how things were taking a turn for
Speaker 1: the worst and people were just supporting Trump Trump Trump.
Speaker 1: Some of these Republicans became independents because they no longer
Speaker 1: supported their party and their views because they said, I
Speaker 1: can't be a part of this. Yeah, it is out
Speaker 1: of control. I don't think I don't think that the
Speaker 1: ones that one human even with the tax breaks and
Speaker 1: with the I don't think they even support seen the
Speaker 1: drasticness of what this country has become, the hate that
Speaker 1: it's just like, is it what it's become or what
Speaker 1: it's always been? And we're well, they pulled the blanket
Speaker 1: back and expose the d to show us what it's like.
Speaker 1: I don't have a skin on your body, so now
Speaker 1: that you take my skiing off, you see all the
Speaker 1: stuff that's up under my skin. That's what they did.
Speaker 1: They pulled the skin back. I had thought, because what honestly,
Speaker 1: it just feels like we're living in a time loop.
Speaker 1: If you think about it, because that's what it feels
Speaker 1: like at this point. We're in a freaking time loop.
Speaker 1: It's actually a very petrifying time. If I didn't have children,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't want to have children. I wouldn't want to
Speaker 1: bring I wouldn't want to dogs exactly exactly, because you're
Speaker 1: bringing them into what, into a world of what? And
Speaker 1: then can we even get away from me? Because is
Speaker 1: it it's just an americle? Is it in other countries?
Speaker 1: You know, look at what's happening over in Ukraine with
Speaker 1: the woman you were we were talking about the young
Speaker 1: ladies that they killed. Yeah, and so what I ran no,
Speaker 1: but and that that's a great point to We are
Speaker 1: living in a time to where, you know, women's rights
Speaker 1: are actually becoming a global issue again. So um, there
Speaker 1: was a woman in Iran who was actually murdered a
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago. Her name is Massayamini Um. She
Speaker 1: was basically kidnapped, I'm gonna say, by the morality police
Speaker 1: because they deemed that the clothing that she was wearing
Speaker 1: wasn't appropriate or in her her job was in place properly,
Speaker 1: So they literally abducted her and took her into jail.
Speaker 1: Quote unquote, and three days later she died and they're
Speaker 1: claiming that it wasn't their fault. Subsequent to that, protests
Speaker 1: broke out all across I RAN. It's it's becoming, you know,
Speaker 1: a global issue once again. But the media and I
Speaker 1: RAN and even mainstream media over here isn't covering it
Speaker 1: as much as you would hope that they would. But
Speaker 1: subsequent to that, there's been twelve year olds who have
Speaker 1: been murdered, sixteen and seventeen year old girls that have
Speaker 1: been murdered, and they're saying, oh, you know, they just
Speaker 1: committed suicide. So they're really trying to control this narrative
Speaker 1: that they're not killing women because women are actually taking
Speaker 1: a stance and standing up for themselves, saying that we
Speaker 1: should be able to decide what we want to wear,
Speaker 1: we should be able to decide who we want to marry,
Speaker 1: we should be able to decide when we want to
Speaker 1: get a divorce. But they're literally continuing to oppress women
Speaker 1: and strip them of their rights, and let's not act
Speaker 1: like the same thing is not happening here over in
Speaker 1: the United States. With overturning of reversus weight, it may
Speaker 1: not be to that extreme, but it's all in the
Speaker 1: same family if you think about it. I heard the
Speaker 1: connection when you see it over in that country, everyone
Speaker 1: was in jail and three days later she was there.
Speaker 1: All I could think about with Sandra Balin, that's all
Speaker 1: I can think about them. Different different scenario, different country,
Speaker 1: same situation. Mm hmmm. Women are oppressed all over the world,
Speaker 1: just in a different extremes. And I want to be
Speaker 1: a trans woman girl. I think I'm about to cut
Speaker 1: my TV's off and go get my beer back. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna be the last player. But I think that's also
Speaker 1: to why women and as you would say, flame like
Speaker 1: biological women, we do go through so much. And it's
Speaker 1: not that we're just discredited any other person's experience or
Speaker 1: anybody from the trans experience, but people seem to forget
Speaker 1: that women go through so much, but our lived experiences
Speaker 1: are deemed not as big of a deal as other people,
Speaker 1: and especially black women. I've said this many times, you
Speaker 1: know on our podcast, is that you know, we all
Speaker 1: know Black women are the most disrespected women in the world,
Speaker 1: but we women in general comes we all come in
Speaker 1: different shades and sizes, and you know, but as a whole,
Speaker 1: we all kind of do share a different lived and
Speaker 1: experience will technically unless you're really white. But you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. So let me let me make Sean
Speaker 1: clear for other thing audience. Because she was arrested from
Speaker 1: by the moral police, because police moral because the story
Speaker 1: was she was wearing her he job incorrectly. Yeah, like
Speaker 1: her clothing was too tight or improper. It was very
Speaker 1: It had to do with her clothing. The a specific
Speaker 1: around it as a little ambiguous, but it was due
Speaker 1: to her clothing and her appearance is why they basically
Speaker 1: took her. So one of my comedy dressers, they would
Speaker 1: just blow my brains out of the street because you know,
Speaker 1: I had booths out and the sheer in the bag,
Speaker 1: and yeah, oh my god. You know it is it
Speaker 1: is we take for granted in America, the privileges that
Speaker 1: we have, not just as black people or women or
Speaker 1: you know LGBT, and in as much racism that we
Speaker 1: live in right now in America, which has always been here,
Speaker 1: just not as prevalent, we still have different advantages over
Speaker 1: certain other countries. Girl, I could never walk down the
Speaker 1: street freely as a transgender woman dress up. I would
Speaker 1: I would be beheaded. I would be murdered in certain countries,
Speaker 1: you know it is, and we take those for granted.
Speaker 1: And I hate when certain communities, not just LGBT community,
Speaker 1: but certain just period take all the laws and and
Speaker 1: the freedoms that we have for granted because they feel
Speaker 1: entitled because our ancestors and their ancestors worked so that
Speaker 1: we or faults so we can have these certain privileges,
Speaker 1: including not sitting on the back of the bus, or
Speaker 1: including not being happy to come through the back door,
Speaker 1: what have you. And we take a lot of that
Speaker 1: for granted. That's just from the black experience. I can't
Speaker 1: speak about no other experience. I ain't never been nothing
Speaker 1: else but black, and that was always first. I mean
Speaker 1: everything else after that, but I'm black first, and we
Speaker 1: take that for granted. And it's sad, Lord, and I
Speaker 1: hate that they show movies and the younger generations takes
Speaker 1: it for granted, like, oh, yeah, we have never lived
Speaker 1: through that. We would. You have to have a strong
Speaker 1: constitution and DNA to actually there through that. These kids
Speaker 1: ain't set up for that. These kids are very weak
Speaker 1: in their DNA to me in the constitution, But I
Speaker 1: kind of I disagree on the front that you don't
Speaker 1: think the kids today are actually living through what their
Speaker 1: grandparents and great grandparents were living through. These younger generations,
Speaker 1: they just lived through a pandemic. We haven't had one,
Speaker 1: and over a hundred years, they we we we live
Speaker 1: through the pandemics. We we survived the pandemic, But they're
Speaker 1: not living through the pen Look at everything that's happening
Speaker 1: with the shootings and the suicides and people. But what
Speaker 1: I'm saying is that they survived it, but they didn't
Speaker 1: live it. They're not living through it because they're still
Speaker 1: carrying it with them. The pandemic is quote unquote supposedly over,
Speaker 1: but these people are still carrying the weight of them
Speaker 1: two years being locked in the house and realizing, oh
Speaker 1: my god, I don't like myself. Oh my god, now
Speaker 1: I know why so many people don't like me because
Speaker 1: I'm stuck in the house with me. Lord, you needed
Speaker 1: to know who you were in order to survive that,
Speaker 1: and that's a bad lived through it. We all said
Speaker 1: a lot of us survived and some people didn't lose
Speaker 1: their lives during the pandemic. I'm not discarding them at all,
Speaker 1: but we are living through it because we're pushing forward
Speaker 1: we're still fighting. A lot of them are still wallowing
Speaker 1: in why me and anger and bitterness and depression and
Speaker 1: having come to the realization that I need to deal
Speaker 1: with these things. I need to face these um um
Speaker 1: hiccups that I found out that I possessed in my life.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm depressed, I'm I'm clinically depressed, or I
Speaker 1: don't like to be alone, or you know, a lot
Speaker 1: of them are fakes that they would just push through it.
Speaker 1: And everybody's hollering therapy, therapy, therapy, therapy, therapy, therapy, and
Speaker 1: they're speaking about it, Lauren, but they're not really acquiring
Speaker 1: someone professional to sit down and have a conversation with
Speaker 1: them to make them realize this is why you feel
Speaker 1: like this, or this is why you don't feel like this.
Speaker 1: Myself included. But I'm a therapy sty you know, I'm
Speaker 1: the wizard. But that's why I'm saying, though I do
Speaker 1: feel like, you know, some of these like younger generations,
Speaker 1: like the gen Z, like they get a lot of
Speaker 1: slack and you know, a flat and a lot of
Speaker 1: flat excuse me from people saying like, oh y'all don't understand,
Speaker 1: you'll understand. But in retrospect, this generation has probably lived
Speaker 1: through more than or even equivalent to to what our
Speaker 1: great grandparents lived through. Like I have a great grandmother
Speaker 1: who's a hundred and three years old. She was born
Speaker 1: in nineteen, so she was, you know, born twenty years
Speaker 1: after you know, the previous pandemic. But these younger kids
Speaker 1: have lived through so much. That's why they're suicide and
Speaker 1: that's why they're going through all of these different things.
Speaker 1: So that's why I think that in a way, they
Speaker 1: are stronger than the average you know, um baby boomer
Speaker 1: generation because they've lived through more than they have. I
Speaker 1: think the different I think the only difference. They have
Speaker 1: the same strength. Okay, I'll I'll grant you that. The
Speaker 1: difference is they have no unity we have they have
Speaker 1: over the internet. We had unity because we had to
Speaker 1: stick together, we had to march together. That we like.
Speaker 1: But the internet has. Oh I could just say I
Speaker 1: don't like this. I can put up a post. It's
Speaker 1: not it's not enough. I agree with that. I think
Speaker 1: that you guys, not you guys in general. But I'm
Speaker 1: just saying that generation because I don't do that. I'm sorry, Sorry,
Speaker 1: You're only thirty Sepisode but that generation, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, The Baby boomers, for instance, they actually were
Speaker 1: able to come together with the United message in the
Speaker 1: midst of the government try into attack and oppress them.
Speaker 1: So but they were able to come together at the
Speaker 1: end of day, which I feel like we are often
Speaker 1: more divided than we are together. So I agree with
Speaker 1: that for sure. For sure, we're praying us to I
Speaker 1: ran pray us also to Ukraine. Speaking of Ukraine, before
Speaker 1: we get to Ukraine, Lauren Hogan, I want to talk
Speaker 1: about the post that I saw if they do have
Speaker 1: a draft here in America if we do go into war,
Speaker 1: because if Putin drops the nukes, everybody has to get involved, NATO,
Speaker 1: all the NATO countries, everybody. They are going to have
Speaker 1: a draft for transgender women. And I remember we distinctly
Speaker 1: talked about this on Laugh and Learn, You and I
Speaker 1: when they passed roll versus Way, I strictly said, y'all
Speaker 1: just released the ball, because if they take away women's rights,
Speaker 1: guess what they're coming after trans women. I wish that
Speaker 1: my transertors, that they got big voices and and and
Speaker 1: part of the activists programs and with all these big platforms,
Speaker 1: would have stood up against the roll versus way for
Speaker 1: the sake of biological women, and not as for abortion rights,
Speaker 1: but for the rights of your body. Because if they
Speaker 1: take you'all rights, you damn so that they're gonna kick ours.
Speaker 1: You're gonna tell me I can't win a week and
Speaker 1: gonna makeup how I'm supposed to make my money. Don'tbody
Speaker 1: want to see me out of door. They don't want
Speaker 1: to see they're not paying for they're paying but to
Speaker 1: look like Esther. I'm gonna be really upset if we
Speaker 1: end up having a draft here in the United States.
Speaker 1: You know, in some ways, I'm not saying that we
Speaker 1: should have abandoned Ukraine, but when the war first really
Speaker 1: broke out, I was really upset to see how the
Speaker 1: government treated black folks over there, which just showed that
Speaker 1: racism what It didn't matter what was going on, People
Speaker 1: still gonna be racist, even the most tumultuous of times.
Speaker 1: But for now, for us to say that we're gonna
Speaker 1: have a draft here potentially to advocate for those in Ukraine. Man,
Speaker 1: there's so many of the things that's wrong with America
Speaker 1: that could be getting fixed. But I digress. Well, I
Speaker 1: love the Ukraine, Uh it's still standing up, your fighting,
Speaker 1: still still on his hand leg that that shows so
Speaker 1: much courage and strength to me. I love the courage.
Speaker 1: People are definitely resilient. I'm not taking that away from them.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying that I think a lot of I
Speaker 1: think Joe Joe Biden gotta lead, maybe a little too
Speaker 1: involved in it. That's all I'm saying. I don't that's
Speaker 1: nothing against them. There's just so many things that are
Speaker 1: still wrong with this country that haven't an address that
Speaker 1: I would have liked to see also take priority or
Speaker 1: equal priority. I would say at the same time that
Speaker 1: they put into the war Ukraine. But that's just my
Speaker 1: personal opinion. So personally, personal opinions are warranted here on
Speaker 1: Laugh and Learning. Lauren Hogan, speaking of personal opinions, I'm
Speaker 1: I'm blocked on what are you not in? I G
Speaker 1: jail is a new question at the Veterans Administration. We
Speaker 1: talked about this last week. Did I talked about this
Speaker 1: last week because it's only happened on Sunday? You have? Actually? Yeah,
Speaker 1: so we talk A friend mind is an exhibit. She
Speaker 1: need two tours in Iraq. She was having some serious
Speaker 1: stomach issues and so I took her to the VA Hospital,
Speaker 1: to the emerging room here in Long Beach, California, and
Speaker 1: we experienced the worst racism and the most dismissive and
Speaker 1: disregarding attitude from some r from r N and a
Speaker 1: couple of doctors there that it had nothing to do
Speaker 1: with her being I don't even think this was so
Speaker 1: much about transgender. I think that because she's black, and
Speaker 1: they were just disrespectful to her. And and I'm saying
Speaker 1: her because biologically she is a female and she still
Speaker 1: identifies as female. She just her presentation is male if
Speaker 1: if if, if I'm confused in anybody, she looks like
Speaker 1: a boy, but she identifies as a girl period. So
Speaker 1: hoping that made it really easy for y'all, because I
Speaker 1: know I'm paying a picture. I'm trying to make it
Speaker 1: visual for y'all. But there was a male nurse, heavy set,
Speaker 1: Caucasian who never dealt with us before the half hours,
Speaker 1: and as soon as he found something negative to speak on,
Speaker 1: he came and say it to us, this is why
Speaker 1: I'm like working with you people. He could not get
Speaker 1: people out before he triggered the nigger and I exploded
Speaker 1: in the emergency room, not exploded physically, but my voice.
Speaker 1: When I'm angry, I can be very violent by my mouth.
Speaker 1: Let me just say that. Oh my god, I sharpened
Speaker 1: my tool like you would not believe Lord Hogan when
Speaker 1: I tell you I tried to take his head off
Speaker 1: with my mouth and disrespect him. Came home and made
Speaker 1: a whole video post. They got ten thousand years old
Speaker 1: TikTok before he got blocked, and about a thousand shares.
Speaker 1: The hospital actually called. They wanted to apologize. They said
Speaker 1: that I was promoting violence, that he was getting disturbing
Speaker 1: phone cause. I said, but then he needs to be
Speaker 1: removed from his position because my friend put her life
Speaker 1: on the land for this country. He ain't put nothing
Speaker 1: on the land but a cheeseburg because he was fat.
Speaker 1: And day me that this is not that shaming. But
Speaker 1: I know, like ten thousand fat jokes before you even
Speaker 1: get to the white Oh my god, I told me
Speaker 1: half uh it is. It is just I thought it
Speaker 1: was quite disrespectful if that's the way, And I thought,
Speaker 1: what I've heard, from what I've heard, this is how
Speaker 1: they treat the vetermans here. A lot of advantages and
Speaker 1: a lot of different vas I can't speak for all.
Speaker 1: But I've been here since I put that post up,
Speaker 1: I've been getting a lot of inbox messages or influx
Speaker 1: of messages from veteran saying that they have experienced the
Speaker 1: same treatment. I think it's proponsious that these people put
Speaker 1: their lives on the line. I would never go to
Speaker 1: war for this country. I wouldn't because I don't want
Speaker 1: to see death and all of that. But for these
Speaker 1: people to do that and they have to come back,
Speaker 1: they first of all, they don't pay him enough when
Speaker 1: they're in the military, and they damn show don't pay
Speaker 1: them enough when they get out. But then for you
Speaker 1: to put people in positions to disrespect these people who
Speaker 1: have lost lambs, got PTSD, experienced death like you wouldn't
Speaker 1: believe me. And you're walking down the street lorn and
Speaker 1: you step on a bomb and you just explode. How
Speaker 1: am I supposed to live with that? You know? And
Speaker 1: these people live with that, And this is how you
Speaker 1: talk and treat them. Oh, I told him up. I
Speaker 1: found this license on this public record and his real
Speaker 1: name and put him on blast. I hope he loses
Speaker 1: his job. I said that I'm gonna say his name
Speaker 1: on here, but I hope he loses his job. Honestly though,
Speaker 1: I think I know that you know, they're basically retaliating
Speaker 1: against you and almost like it's intimidation tactics. But I'm
Speaker 1: actually very glad that you said something. Um, I think
Speaker 1: there's a lot of times where people, just to your point,
Speaker 1: don't understand the magnitude of how veterans are mistreated in
Speaker 1: this country and how when they come back from fighting,
Speaker 1: you know, they stuffer from PTSD or they're not able
Speaker 1: to get out ofquate housing, they end up being homeless,
Speaker 1: or end up being on the street and not being
Speaker 1: able to be proper health care. And it's honestly, it's
Speaker 1: sad because you're supposed to support this country, but then
Speaker 1: you come back in your country doesn't support you. So
Speaker 1: what does that say for the efforts that you know
Speaker 1: you're putting forth? And yeah, so when the violence Department
Speaker 1: called me and said that, wait, um, you people, that
Speaker 1: can mean a lot of things. And plus you you
Speaker 1: on your video you said that you people with you
Speaker 1: check off a lot of boxes. I see it does.
Speaker 1: I'm I'm black, i am a transgender, and I'm of
Speaker 1: LGBT experience, So I don't know which one he was
Speaker 1: talking to. So she said, well, him and his husband,
Speaker 1: because he couldn't possibly be that because he's gay. I
Speaker 1: said that to me nothing, I said, gay people don't
Speaker 1: like gay people. I said, do you know who you're
Speaker 1: talking to? I say, honey, they don't even like me. Girl,
Speaker 1: If you don't know, she tried to intimidate me. But
Speaker 1: when I tell you, she meant her match because she
Speaker 1: did not know who she was dealing with, and I
Speaker 1: gave her exactly what she was looking for. That lady
Speaker 1: will never call me again. I heard her feeling. She says, well,
Speaker 1: I know him and I've spoken to him, and I
Speaker 1: don't think that that's what he meant. I said, were
Speaker 1: you there? She said? She said, I said, were you there?
Speaker 1: I say, because they're looking. His face was of racist
Speaker 1: disdain and hate. He looked at me like I was
Speaker 1: a meal that he couldn't complete with his fat, nasty ass.
Speaker 1: She got off my phone because she she was gonna
Speaker 1: challenge me and I had had a lovely Oh she
Speaker 1: was never gonna win. I would argue, what hun to
Speaker 1: Jesus came back. But that's the thing, though, People are like,
Speaker 1: just because you know somebody's of the same experience as
Speaker 1: of you, that they can't want to hate themselves. That's
Speaker 1: what we were talking about earlier, is that people are
Speaker 1: who they are, but either they don't accept themselves or
Speaker 1: you know, through recent events that have happened in the world,
Speaker 1: realized that they actually don't like you them self. So
Speaker 1: that's called what projecting, and that's I was like, what
Speaker 1: happened to you? Yeah, well, I reported to the nurses
Speaker 1: board and waiting for email. I'm gonna follow this through
Speaker 1: because here's the thing. I'm just fighting. I'm fighting the
Speaker 1: way they fight. There's no need for me to get
Speaker 1: physical and just be cussing and fussing because I'm good
Speaker 1: at that. But they send emails, they do it the
Speaker 1: professional way. I'm going full caring because the disregard and
Speaker 1: disrespect was not even just for me and my friend.
Speaker 1: The disregard and disrespect was for all the veterans that
Speaker 1: he encountered long before we ever met him. Because for
Speaker 1: him to be so comfortable with saying that, and all
Speaker 1: his coworkers, doctors, other nurses around him like they didn't
Speaker 1: say yes, do it, but they said nothing when he
Speaker 1: did it. So that makes you complicit, which means that
Speaker 1: you he has gotten very comfortable with doing this and
Speaker 1: they've experienced this before. They just said experienced flaming role.
Speaker 1: Oh honey, but the whole hospital know me now, yea.
Speaker 1: And but to your point though, and the fact that
Speaker 1: you did speak out and so many people were saying,
Speaker 1: ain't thank you, and then this was an important topic
Speaker 1: that needed to be discussed because they had so many
Speaker 1: similar experiences. It was valid. What she were saying was
Speaker 1: valid and needed. And the fact that you had a
Speaker 1: platform to do so that's why they mad, because they tried,
Speaker 1: you never know who's who. You never know the big
Speaker 1: name and his license number, which is public record. I
Speaker 1: went back up to the merchant room because you really
Speaker 1: called the police and had me escorted out at the
Speaker 1: exploded on. But they had to call my friend back
Speaker 1: because she had horrible blood cloths and so they had
Speaker 1: to admit her for a couple of day. I went
Speaker 1: right back to him and said his name and his
Speaker 1: license number and said, you don't know me, but after Monday,
Speaker 1: you ain't gonna never forget my name. That's not how
Speaker 1: nice I said it, but I did say that to him.
Speaker 1: But he got scared though, because he was just like,
Speaker 1: oh my goodness. You know at to your point, he's
Speaker 1: been getting away with it for so long, so he's
Speaker 1: gonna say, oh, I was being attacked or it was this,
Speaker 1: Oh was that, And it's like, no, look at the
Speaker 1: insiding incident. What started this whole thing? Your behavior, your actions,
Speaker 1: So take accountability, don't any or he will. I'm trying
Speaker 1: to make sure he does not get away with it anymore.
Speaker 1: Speaking of not getting away with it, to the state
Speaker 1: of Georgia, I need y'all to show up early voting
Speaker 1: stizes tomorrow, right, Lauren starts tomorrow. Listen to me, and
Speaker 1: listen to me. Well, they have changed a lot of
Speaker 1: voting laws in the South. They have moved vote poles
Speaker 1: and booths and everything else. I need you, guys and
Speaker 1: Georgia to show up for Stacy Abrams and for Raphael
Speaker 1: war Knock early voting, whatever you need to do, because
Speaker 1: they've changed the laws where you can't give people water
Speaker 1: while standing in land. All these they are doing all
Speaker 1: that they can to make sure because my my partner,
Speaker 1: or my very smart young partner on here always says,
Speaker 1: if I vote was not so important, why would they
Speaker 1: fight so hard to keep us from I need Georgia
Speaker 1: to show up so that we can make Georgia blue,
Speaker 1: keep Georgia blue, and we get to keep control of
Speaker 1: this sentence, or even keep it purple. I'll take purple
Speaker 1: right now, even if it's not fully blue. I'll take purple,
Speaker 1: a little off blue, a little aubergine, the aubergine exactly.
Speaker 1: But I think that UM, I think that the state
Speaker 1: uh is it called the State Farm Arena? Well, I
Speaker 1: know it is um Philips Arena, but I think the
Speaker 1: because I don't think basketball, like the season kind of
Speaker 1: officially starts this week. But I know the one thing
Speaker 1: that in the NBA was saying, like any day that's
Speaker 1: like the official voting day, which is November eight, obviously,
Speaker 1: that they're actually going to use all of the facilities
Speaker 1: the NBA for actual voting sites, which I think is fantastic.
Speaker 1: So I'm curious to see how Georgia turns out. We
Speaker 1: really need full to encounter to turn out if we're
Speaker 1: gonna be It takes one person to push the narrative
Speaker 1: to get everybody on board for us to take the lead.
Speaker 1: The Alabama boycotts started way before they We give all
Speaker 1: the credit to UM. What was her name, who said
Speaker 1: on the bus and wouldn't get up. You know, Rosa Parks.
Speaker 1: But you know how many other people experienced that long
Speaker 1: before she did. She just got the favor, the favor
Speaker 1: and then mind the King came into the league and
Speaker 1: it worked hopefully. These NFL players, these basketball these people
Speaker 1: in positions of power, Black folks with money, especially in
Speaker 1: the state of Georgia, can't just do just what you said,
Speaker 1: show people the like because a lot of times people
Speaker 1: don't know what they want. You have to show them
Speaker 1: what they want. I hate that we live in that society,
Speaker 1: but you have to show people what they want in
Speaker 1: order for them to get it. That's great alone. I
Speaker 1: didn't even know that, but that's a great form that
Speaker 1: they're closing down and opening it up for people to
Speaker 1: get in the vote. We have to work together or
Speaker 1: I'm telling you. That is why I was saying. The
Speaker 1: young people are verbal, they're ready to get physical. They
Speaker 1: but the older people marched and had a different unity.
Speaker 1: That's what that's what. Now we can put that unity
Speaker 1: with this youth girl, we could win. We could we
Speaker 1: could win. If we could put the unity with the youth,
Speaker 1: we could win. This that's a message. But also too.
Speaker 1: But to that point, though the gen zs they go
Speaker 1: out and vote, Am I even gonna hold you? In
Speaker 1: this last selection, they turned out to vote. We people,
Speaker 1: old people mailing out, But I'm mailing in my ballot.
Speaker 1: I don't feel like one down old people. I'm meddling
Speaker 1: my ballot too. But I'm just saying they do turn
Speaker 1: out to vote. So I just hope that everybody exercises
Speaker 1: their right to vote. It's crucial. All of these nail
Speaker 1: fighters are They're like three to five percent between Nevada, Michigan, Georgia, Florida.
Speaker 1: They're all within a three to five percent margin. And
Speaker 1: you know that's it's not a lot. It's really not
Speaker 1: a lot. So I hope that people really do turn up.
Speaker 1: Shoot l A too. We got, you know, a mayoral
Speaker 1: election coming up. So oral election coming up, Karen Bass,
Speaker 1: who we are? Who I'm voting for? And so are
Speaker 1: you a thinking mayor here in um in um l A.
Speaker 1: And she's having the big fundraiser at the Hollywood LFE

Speaker 1: on that. Oh my god, name is Flame. I'm going
Speaker 1: to have the best time, and I'm gonna push laugh
Speaker 1: and learn, and I'm gonna push politics because I like
Speaker 1: to talk political savvy, especially in that areating with all
Speaker 1: them big weeks, we might get us a Magic john
Speaker 1: You know, I admire Magic Johnson a lot, so I
Speaker 1: would let him know why I admire him, because he
Speaker 1: was like Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz. To me,
Speaker 1: he was looking for brain he found in himself. He was.
Speaker 1: I love his brain, his heart and his courage because
Speaker 1: what he did and how he you know, opened up
Speaker 1: the world to his truth and what had happened to
Speaker 1: him way way back was wonderful back being you know,
Speaker 1: they shunned him. But magic has thriveding. Magic has proven
Speaker 1: that you can live with something and live wonderfully with
Speaker 1: the same wife with magic must have got a different
Speaker 1: kind of HIV. Magic got the billion of HIV. And
Speaker 1: that that that ain't no read that, because that's that
Speaker 1: his story. He told his truth. So for y'all get
Speaker 1: to listen. In terms of flaming you, I ain't put
Speaker 1: nothing out there that he didn't put out there. I

Speaker 1: nor there. Well wait a minute, let me to be fair.
Speaker 1: I did see the commercial with Snoop Dogg, said Caruso.
