What's today, Wednesday, Tuesday, Tuesday, whatever it is. Yeah, 0:02:21.840 --> 0:02:24.519 the day is Tuesday. It's the week of Thanksgiving. Loranjgan. 0:02:24.760 --> 0:02:27.160 Are you ready for the holiday? You got your turkey stuff? 0:02:27.720 --> 0:02:31.720 You know, I don't eat turkey. Look, you don't eat 0:02:32.200 --> 0:02:34.080 I do not eat turkey. I had a bad experience 0:02:34.160 --> 0:02:37.640 as a child, and I do not eat turkey. Turkey 0:02:38.000 --> 0:02:40.720 Turkey is really good. I don't like the texture. I 0:02:40.760 --> 0:02:43.200 can't get with it. And I think I had turkey 0:02:43.240 --> 0:02:46.359 one year at Marie Calendars because like my dad was 0:02:46.360 --> 0:02:48.079 always in the fire station, so we would always go 0:02:48.120 --> 0:02:50.440 to the fire station to celebrate Thanksgiving. I had some 0:02:50.520 --> 0:02:52.880 Marie Calendars turkey. I think he was a fried turkey 0:02:52.960 --> 0:02:56.200 and I was so sick. So it ain't for me. 0:02:56.400 --> 0:02:59.320 You didn't have you didn't experience the real turkey with 0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:01.440 the black people with dressing, because you have to be 0:03:01.600 --> 0:03:04.240 right if because you know, I left to go on 0:03:04.320 --> 0:03:06.440 vacation and left my kids, but I ordered them dinner 0:03:06.440 --> 0:03:09.440 from Vaughns and my son is a huge dressing fanatic. 0:03:09.720 --> 0:03:12.480 But the dinner from Barns come with a turkey, mastrotatus, 0:03:12.560 --> 0:03:15.280 corn and stuffing. He said, it's this dressing. I said, 0:03:15.320 --> 0:03:19.200 absolutely not, it is white folks, because black folks make dressing. Now, 0:03:21.639 --> 0:03:24.040 that's what I'm saying. I just had a bad experience 0:03:24.040 --> 0:03:25.600 and I haven't been able to come back. I get 0:03:25.600 --> 0:03:27.720 PTSD every time I see a turkey. So you know, 0:03:27.840 --> 0:03:31.160 we'll be frying chicken in my house for Thanksgiving. That's 0:03:31.160 --> 0:03:34.240 what we do. Yes, well, Happy Thanksgiving to all the 0:03:34.280 --> 0:03:37.200 flame man's and everyone out there in my heart Black 0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:40.360 Effect network land because this is Thanksgiving week. Save travels 0:03:40.360 --> 0:03:43.120 wherever you're going. But let's get it cracking back and 0:03:43.280 --> 0:03:45.480 attacking on where we're going because you're taking the lead. 0:03:45.600 --> 0:03:49.400 You you the top today I'm the bottom. I didn't 0:03:49.440 --> 0:03:50.800 know that with the day that I had, I don't 0:03:50.800 --> 0:03:52.520 know have the energy to do that. Wait a minute, 0:03:52.520 --> 0:03:56.920 I'm just kidding. Get your straps to you the top. Now, 0:03:56.920 --> 0:04:01.280 where we're going on? I think we should start off with, um, 0:04:01.400 --> 0:04:04.440 kind of the unfortunate events that have happened in the news, 0:04:04.520 --> 0:04:06.880 and then we can kind of shift to some of 0:04:06.920 --> 0:04:10.880 the funny and then get into politics. UM. But first 0:04:10.880 --> 0:04:15.160 and foremost, UM, we wanted to talk about Colorado Springs 0:04:15.280 --> 0:04:17.919 and send all of our prayers and condolences out to 0:04:18.120 --> 0:04:21.520 those that lost their lives. Um, those family members, those 0:04:21.520 --> 0:04:25.880 that are injured and are currently still in the hospital. Um, 0:04:25.920 --> 0:04:28.680 it's just another act of senseless violence and proof that 0:04:28.720 --> 0:04:32.520 we need more restrictive gun laws in this country and 0:04:32.560 --> 0:04:36.279 that um, you know, level of violence and the hatred 0:04:36.400 --> 0:04:38.600 that has just kind of erupted. I think over these 0:04:38.640 --> 0:04:42.400 past what six years now, it's just it's continuing to 0:04:42.400 --> 0:04:46.680 be at all time high and it's just unnecessary. So, UM, yeah, 0:04:46.800 --> 0:04:48.360 I agree with you. Going to pray us to all 0:04:48.440 --> 0:04:51.120 involved in prayers to not only the victims and the 0:04:51.120 --> 0:04:53.400 people of the family, but to the heroes that the 0:04:53.480 --> 0:04:56.720 stands to stand up and take the time to fight back. 0:04:56.920 --> 0:04:58.960 Sometimes that's what we have to do. And when I 0:04:59.040 --> 0:05:01.400 talked about this on my coffee time the other morning, 0:05:01.440 --> 0:05:03.520 I said, I bet you the person that fallback was 0:05:03.560 --> 0:05:06.400 either a drag queen or a trans woman, because baby, 0:05:06.400 --> 0:05:08.880 we do not man using the aggression and fighting back. 0:05:09.080 --> 0:05:11.400 They said. The queen stumped at y'all all, in his face, 0:05:11.400 --> 0:05:12.880 in his head. He couldn't even go to court the 0:05:12.880 --> 0:05:15.240 next day. He was so damaged and I love that 0:05:15.279 --> 0:05:17.320 the man who was an ex military said he went 0:05:17.360 --> 0:05:20.120 into ex combat mode. I'm not agreeing with that. He 0:05:20.160 --> 0:05:22.640 went into daddy mode. His daughter had gotten shot. That 0:05:22.800 --> 0:05:24.960 was me. If your your dad, Lauren, he may have 0:05:25.040 --> 0:05:27.880 been an ex military, but when you see your child, 0:05:28.000 --> 0:05:30.920 you go into daddy mode. I hate that that happened, 0:05:30.920 --> 0:05:33.240 and I believe that when all of dust clears and 0:05:33.279 --> 0:05:37.880 the smoke settles, the killer is probably something self loathing 0:05:38.760 --> 0:05:42.000 homosexual who couldn't deal with how he felt. He was 0:05:42.080 --> 0:05:43.640 very he was not. I'm not gonna say he was 0:05:43.720 --> 0:05:46.200 unattractive in the face, but his body was unattractive as 0:05:46.200 --> 0:05:49.240 far as what beauty morphea goes. He wasn't the prettiest 0:05:49.240 --> 0:05:51.440 to look at, and he probably just hated who he 0:05:51.600 --> 0:05:55.400 was and couldn't deal with it. But I fought law enforcement, Lauren, 0:05:55.720 --> 0:05:58.480 because a year ago this fool said he was gonna 0:05:58.480 --> 0:06:00.040 blow up his own mama. They got it all on 0:06:00.160 --> 0:06:02.320 tape and everything, and then y'all allow him to get 0:06:02.320 --> 0:06:05.080 a weapon talking about it wasn't on paper, but Loring, 0:06:05.160 --> 0:06:06.840 that's a black person in this country. If I went 0:06:06.960 --> 0:06:09.560 to go get an a R fifteen and I had 0:06:09.560 --> 0:06:12.000 a clean wrecking me. Aaron Do producer who's on here, 0:06:12.080 --> 0:06:13.919 was just talking about that girl. They would give me 0:06:14.000 --> 0:06:16.720 every hiccup and and railroad and go through the back 0:06:16.760 --> 0:06:18.640 door and count the marbles in the job they could. 0:06:19.279 --> 0:06:21.320 That's why you know things ain't change. They need to 0:06:21.400 --> 0:06:23.839 charge all the people in lawenforce because there there's no 0:06:23.880 --> 0:06:26.840 way this could have been avoided. And I think it's 0:06:26.839 --> 0:06:30.720 also interesting too. I'm gonna just draw comparison. So this 0:06:30.839 --> 0:06:36.039 happened now almost two days ago. We still have yet 0:06:36.080 --> 0:06:42.520 to see a photo of this gunman. We haven't somebody 0:06:42.600 --> 0:06:45.040 if it was somebody black and brown, splatted all over 0:06:45.080 --> 0:06:46.919 the news. Well that's what I'm saying, because just the 0:06:46.960 --> 0:06:48.960 previous week, you know, there was a young black man 0:06:49.040 --> 0:06:52.200 that did you know, kill three young students at the 0:06:52.279 --> 0:06:56.880 University of Virginia, I believe um, and his face was 0:06:56.880 --> 0:06:59.800 plastered all over the news as soon as soon as 0:06:59.839 --> 0:07:02.640 the rest was made, it was plastered all over the news. 0:07:03.279 --> 0:07:06.280 And we still have vant to see what this individual 0:07:06.320 --> 0:07:08.920 looks like. And it's been forty eight hours. So it's 0:07:08.960 --> 0:07:11.720 just always interesting, you know what the narrative is, how 0:07:11.960 --> 0:07:15.480 you know, how things come out when it's one of 0:07:15.560 --> 0:07:19.080 us versus um and the killer is he's the nephew 0:07:19.160 --> 0:07:22.280 of a California is it a congressman or a statesman 0:07:22.320 --> 0:07:25.400 and something. He's a nephew of somebody. Yeah, oh my god, 0:07:25.480 --> 0:07:27.280 I can't think of the name. But he's a nephew 0:07:27.320 --> 0:07:30.840 of one of the of sitting congressman too. Well, that 0:07:30.920 --> 0:07:32.680 might really be why we haven't seen his face yet 0:07:32.720 --> 0:07:35.920 because apparent apparently he changed his name and then they're 0:07:35.960 --> 0:07:37.600 trying to say that that's part of the reason why 0:07:37.680 --> 0:07:40.160 they couldn't figure out who he really was and the 0:07:40.160 --> 0:07:42.800 previous threat because he changed his name. It's just the 0:07:43.680 --> 0:07:45.840 I don't understand all of the we have to tell 0:07:45.840 --> 0:07:48.080 you the story and give you this background. Bottom line 0:07:48.120 --> 0:07:51.240 is he shot and he killed five people and he 0:07:51.360 --> 0:07:55.040 injured almost thirty. So I don't understand what we need 0:07:55.080 --> 0:07:57.720 all this narrative for the facts, for the facts. So 0:07:58.080 --> 0:07:59.880 I hope they definitely taught him with a hey, cra 0:08:00.400 --> 0:08:02.080 But I'm telling you long we've been talking. We did 0:08:02.080 --> 0:08:05.080 a whole episode on this. Y'all. Keep giving cowards guns. 0:08:06.240 --> 0:08:10.080 Guns don't mix. The corilege is not to pull the trigger, 0:08:10.040 --> 0:08:12.400 and the courage is to not pull the trigger because 0:08:12.400 --> 0:08:14.400 you're not getting the gun to kill people. You're getting 0:08:14.440 --> 0:08:16.120 the gun to make sure nobody hurts you. But people 0:08:16.160 --> 0:08:20.320 keep getting guns for the wrong reasons. Yeah, you're absolutely right. 0:08:20.400 --> 0:08:22.640 So and I also saw the interview that um, this 0:08:22.800 --> 0:08:25.360 young black gentleman did and was talking about just how 0:08:25.480 --> 0:08:28.360 what the atmosphere was and what Club Q represented to 0:08:28.440 --> 0:08:31.000 the community. It was really a safe space for the 0:08:31.080 --> 0:08:34.360 l g bt Q community in Colorado Springs. And he 0:08:34.440 --> 0:08:37.760 was just heartbroken and just was saying that we don't 0:08:37.800 --> 0:08:40.520 have a space like this was our space and it's 0:08:40.559 --> 0:08:45.400 just been you know, ruined. So and it was so tragic, Lauren, 0:08:45.440 --> 0:08:48.959 because it was the night before the Transgender Day of Remembrance. 0:08:49.640 --> 0:08:52.520 And but I love that the trans started with Marsha 0:08:52.520 --> 0:08:54.920 and Marsha P. Johnson was the blueprint for being the 0:08:55.000 --> 0:08:58.240 queen that's gonna take it down. Amen to Marsha P. Johnson. 0:08:58.240 --> 0:09:00.679 Makes you rest in peace because this is the only 0:09:00.720 --> 0:09:02.800 thing that they're going to understand that we don't stand 0:09:02.880 --> 0:09:05.520 up and fight back, they're gonna continue to bulldose us. 0:09:06.000 --> 0:09:08.800 I will not be bulldozed. I'm glad that I don't 0:09:08.800 --> 0:09:10.560 have to work in the space of working in clubs 0:09:10.559 --> 0:09:12.439 like that. But you never not where it's going to happen. 0:09:12.720 --> 0:09:14.800 I did dragon shows for a living. I never thought 0:09:14.800 --> 0:09:16.959 about nobody coming in shooting out the place. And I'm 0:09:17.000 --> 0:09:19.800 too busy trying to entertain and make money. It is, 0:09:20.040 --> 0:09:24.199 it is, But it's hate and rage from social media 0:09:24.240 --> 0:09:27.280 platforms Twitter and and stuff like that, and people pushing 0:09:27.280 --> 0:09:31.800 crazy narratives. But I'm dying to know the if we 0:09:31.880 --> 0:09:33.720 ever know, because like you said, we ain't even see 0:09:33.760 --> 0:09:36.240 his face, if we ever know the reason of why 0:09:36.679 --> 0:09:40.000 and and and how and what? What? What was your reasoning? 0:09:40.679 --> 0:09:45.640 Because nothing that has ever come out ridiculous. And then 0:09:45.679 --> 0:09:54.160 another another it's exhausting. Oh yeah, and another um situation 0:09:54.240 --> 0:09:56.960 that we wanted to extend our condolences to is Um 0:09:57.280 --> 0:10:02.440 Sinquala Robinson. I'm happy to see that more details are 0:10:02.480 --> 0:10:04.719 starting to come out about her case, because you know, 0:10:04.760 --> 0:10:06.520 initially they just tried to say that she died from 0:10:06.559 --> 0:10:10.120 alcohol poisoning. There's a video of her being beaten up 0:10:10.400 --> 0:10:12.280 by two of her so called friends. That's another reason 0:10:12.280 --> 0:10:16.360 why you gotta be careful with that video setting set 0:10:16.400 --> 0:10:19.560 on my spirit. Louren and just I wanted to go 0:10:19.679 --> 0:10:22.719 through the damn phone, like I was so angry I 0:10:22.760 --> 0:10:25.680 don't know none of these people, but I want everybody charged. 0:10:25.720 --> 0:10:28.640 And like they did was with McBee, with the mcbabe, 0:10:28.840 --> 0:10:31.840 the guy who videotape, they charged his ass to whoever. 0:10:32.040 --> 0:10:34.320 The guy who was videotaping, that should be charged, the 0:10:34.360 --> 0:10:36.800 girls that was involved, and they should all be charged 0:10:37.200 --> 0:10:39.360 it is. And then they made the whole clickbait like 0:10:39.400 --> 0:10:41.640 it was a trans woman. It was a whole man. 0:10:41.920 --> 0:10:44.720 They are distracting from what really happened. But when I 0:10:44.760 --> 0:10:48.720 saw the father's video, the breakdown of him his daughter, 0:10:49.240 --> 0:10:52.400 as a dad who has daughters, I went right there 0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:54.920 to the pain where he was at, like, oh my god, 0:10:55.040 --> 0:10:57.640 I can only imagine and I don't want to imagine 0:10:57.640 --> 0:11:00.480 that it was. It was disheartening. Lord. And and these 0:11:00.520 --> 0:11:03.800 people here, so called friends, and supposedly from what I 0:11:03.920 --> 0:11:06.200 ran somewhere, she paid for all of them to come. 0:11:07.200 --> 0:11:10.240 What kind of rage and jealousy and hate and bitterness 0:11:10.360 --> 0:11:14.000 is that? I couldn't even tell you. But that's why 0:11:14.040 --> 0:11:16.000 you gotta be careful about who you call your friends. 0:11:16.000 --> 0:11:18.840 You gotta be more careful about who you travel internationally with. 0:11:20.040 --> 0:11:24.280 Mm hmmm. You can't trust everybody, And honestly, I just 0:11:24.320 --> 0:11:27.720 can't imagine the fact of going on a trip feeling 0:11:27.760 --> 0:11:30.920 like you're comfortable to have a good time and you 0:11:30.960 --> 0:11:34.800 get jumped while intoxicated and ultimately beaten to death. I 0:11:34.800 --> 0:11:37.280 I can't imagine. I can't imagine that at all. I 0:11:37.320 --> 0:11:39.960 think Tims reported that when the doctor showed up, she 0:11:40.120 --> 0:11:44.720 wasn't deed. When the doctor three hours and she did, 0:11:44.840 --> 0:11:50.880 that is just suffrage and pain. And I learned. I'm 0:11:50.920 --> 0:11:54.160 telling I'm every time you think you can't hear anything 0:11:54.200 --> 0:11:57.520 that would shock you more, you always shoot something that 0:11:57.600 --> 0:12:00.960 shocks you more. You just out to be careful who 0:12:01.080 --> 0:12:03.440 you hang around and who you keep in your space. 0:12:03.520 --> 0:12:05.800 Everybody ain't your friend, and more people are jealous of 0:12:05.840 --> 0:12:10.080 you than you realize. I will definitely say that. So 0:12:10.880 --> 0:12:14.960 I really hope that everybody involved is charged and put 0:12:15.000 --> 0:12:18.160 behind bars, and I hope that they continue to investigate 0:12:18.200 --> 0:12:23.120 the situation and actually, um the truth prevails and those 0:12:23.200 --> 0:12:25.760 that harm to this girl are just locked up. And 0:12:25.800 --> 0:12:27.800 I hope they put it in a foreign prieston because 0:12:27.840 --> 0:12:30.240 foreign prisons ain't like American priestons. I hope they don't 0:12:30.240 --> 0:12:35.920 want them. Dirty, dark dungeon, deep doge written rent roading 0:12:36.000 --> 0:12:39.719 and look at me I'm just oh, just grammy, Yes, 0:12:39.760 --> 0:12:42.800 the worst of the worst, because it was it was 0:12:42.880 --> 0:12:45.160 just it's hardening to think that y'all went all the 0:12:45.160 --> 0:12:47.320 way over there to do something like this to somebody 0:12:47.320 --> 0:12:50.120 who y'all considered a friend. And y'all, what kind of 0:12:50.240 --> 0:12:53.320 drugs was y'all know, I'm starting to think that everybody 0:12:53.320 --> 0:12:56.280 that was involved was on something comes kind of drug 0:12:56.440 --> 0:12:59.400 or something. I don't even know if it's drugs. I'm 0:12:59.640 --> 0:13:01.880 hout to Jealousy is a hell of a drug. Let 0:13:01.880 --> 0:13:04.120 me just say that. So I don't know what the 0:13:04.160 --> 0:13:07.560 circumstances were, but that's just a lot of rage and 0:13:07.640 --> 0:13:10.000 hate and jealousy to be in your spirit to do 0:13:10.080 --> 0:13:13.920 that to somebody. That's all I'm saying. It is it 0:13:14.120 --> 0:13:17.720 is who that hurt, and that hurt and then and 0:13:17.720 --> 0:13:21.160 then it's us. It was it was us. And when 0:13:21.160 --> 0:13:25.280 I say that's something about black folks, it was us. Yeah, yeah, 0:13:25.400 --> 0:13:28.360 doing it to us. And I do want to say 0:13:28.360 --> 0:13:31.160 a big shout out to Kyrie Irving. He donated sixty 0:13:31.720 --> 0:13:34.000 dollars to her go fund me to make so he 0:13:34.160 --> 0:13:38.320 really he helped her family like significantly. You know, despite 0:13:38.320 --> 0:13:41.480 all of the craziness, you know and ridiculousness. I will 0:13:41.559 --> 0:13:45.000 say that he has going on unnecessarily. Once again, he's 0:13:45.040 --> 0:13:47.040 showing the fact that he's a humanitarian at the end 0:13:47.080 --> 0:13:49.320 of the day, so special shout out to him for 0:13:49.320 --> 0:13:51.640 helping out that family and donated so much money. I love. 0:13:51.679 --> 0:13:53.880 I love that about Carrie Irving. I hate to wrap 0:13:53.920 --> 0:13:55.560 that he got and I love that he had stood 0:13:55.559 --> 0:13:57.720 in his conviction and cut the cords because cutting them 0:13:57.760 --> 0:14:00.439 cords will set you free anybody, also for you from 0:14:00.480 --> 0:14:03.000 some jobs, and don't I know that firsthand, But cutting 0:14:03.040 --> 0:14:06.440 the chords will make you feel good about you. And 0:14:06.440 --> 0:14:08.439 I mean, and if we're gonna talk about him a 0:14:08.480 --> 0:14:10.560 little bit more, UM, I was so happy to see 0:14:10.559 --> 0:14:13.560 all of his Black Hebrew brethren outside of Our Place 0:14:13.600 --> 0:14:16.640 Center supporting him in the ice cold weather of New 0:14:16.679 --> 0:14:20.320 York City on his return to UM his first Nets 0:14:20.360 --> 0:14:23.480 game since his suspension. So I love to see that 0:14:23.520 --> 0:14:27.320 he's getting support too, because he deserves it. So anyway, 0:14:28.120 --> 0:14:31.640 if we could just get rid of this great divad 0:14:31.800 --> 0:14:34.200 and be together as one, we could be such a 0:14:34.240 --> 0:14:36.920 strong group of people. But good God, they bank on 0:14:37.040 --> 0:14:40.840 us being separate away from each other, and and what 0:14:41.040 --> 0:14:44.360 is it thiscombobulated with this the color black and that 0:14:44.440 --> 0:14:46.520 color black and this kind of black and that kind 0:14:46.520 --> 0:14:50.240 of black, and oh my god, Jesus, I'm a black 0:14:50.400 --> 0:14:53.000 Berrick And I was telling Aaron that I am. And 0:14:53.000 --> 0:14:55.320 and you know, Aaron sent me a video. Aaron is 0:14:55.320 --> 0:14:56.760 that producing who We're gonna make a part of the 0:14:56.800 --> 0:14:59.600 show because he's exceptionally intelligent, But he sent me a 0:14:59.720 --> 0:15:02.240 video about how we should cancel Thanksgiving and I just 0:15:02.320 --> 0:15:04.720 was explained to him, as a black American that was 0:15:04.840 --> 0:15:08.000 born in the United States, culturally, that's what we would 0:15:08.000 --> 0:15:11.280 talking to the stuff that we know. We were raised 0:15:11.320 --> 0:15:13.680 up on that, so that is what we know. Traditionally, 0:15:13.960 --> 0:15:17.280 there's nobody around from the sixteen seventeen hundreds to tell 0:15:17.360 --> 0:15:19.960 us what we were before they brought us over here 0:15:19.960 --> 0:15:22.400 in chains or how we you know, what we would do. 0:15:22.560 --> 0:15:25.040 And I know there are some authorities on it, but 0:15:25.120 --> 0:15:27.320 they not They weren't around me, and hopefully they got 0:15:27.320 --> 0:15:29.880 it right. But that's what we know. And I'm not 0:15:29.920 --> 0:15:32.240 going to discredit that it might be right or wrong. 0:15:32.720 --> 0:15:35.880 But as born in America, raised in America, and raised 0:15:35.920 --> 0:15:39.320 with those Fourth of July and Thanksgiving and create that's 0:15:39.360 --> 0:15:42.360 what we know, because that's the Americans that we are. 0:15:43.840 --> 0:15:47.760 If that makes well well for um. For me, I'm 0:15:47.760 --> 0:15:51.400 gonna just say I ain't celebrated Fourth July, like maybe 0:15:51.400 --> 0:15:53.360 when I was younger, Like I think your parents want 0:15:53.360 --> 0:15:55.880 you to get into like the festive things around it, 0:15:56.040 --> 0:15:58.040 but I would say probably by the time I turned 0:15:58.040 --> 0:16:00.720 like thirteen, Like my mom was like, Okay, that was 0:16:00.800 --> 0:16:02.640 cute when you was like little, but we're not doing 0:16:02.640 --> 0:16:05.280 that no more. Same thing my mom told me Santa 0:16:05.280 --> 0:16:07.520 Claus wasn't real when I was five, you know what 0:16:07.560 --> 0:16:10.640 I mean. So my mom was that ball buster for 0:16:10.760 --> 0:16:13.440 lack of a better word, like, and she gave us 0:16:13.480 --> 0:16:15.600 the truth, you know what I mean. And even with Thanksgiving, 0:16:16.040 --> 0:16:18.800 we never celebrated things giving. We just got a really 0:16:18.840 --> 0:16:22.560 good meal. But she always explained the fact of how 0:16:22.640 --> 0:16:26.120 what really happened, because you know, my ancestors are Native American, 0:16:26.600 --> 0:16:29.640 you know what I mean. So she explained how the 0:16:29.680 --> 0:16:32.040 fact that this wasn't a feast, that it was you know, 0:16:32.640 --> 0:16:36.000 rape pillage, and that these white folks brought you know, 0:16:36.240 --> 0:16:39.320 disease and killed us, killed you know, your ancestors at 0:16:39.320 --> 0:16:41.360 the end of the day, but tried to act like 0:16:41.440 --> 0:16:44.120 it was a festive celebration, and that's not what it was. 0:16:44.280 --> 0:16:47.360 So I think that's when we kind of go back to, 0:16:47.480 --> 0:16:49.400 like when we talk about, you know, your riots and 0:16:49.480 --> 0:16:52.280 things like that, because you need people to kind of 0:16:52.400 --> 0:16:56.120 tell you what your past and history is. So my 0:16:56.160 --> 0:16:57.800 mom was kind of that for me, and my dad 0:16:57.800 --> 0:16:59.600 always just kind of co signed it and kind of 0:16:59.640 --> 0:17:01.360 gave me more of the raw and cut version of 0:17:01.400 --> 0:17:04.879 what my mom was saying. Anyway, So they were very 0:17:04.920 --> 0:17:06.720 honest with me, I think at a young age, and 0:17:06.720 --> 0:17:08.760 that's part of the reason why, you know, my mouth 0:17:08.840 --> 0:17:12.280 is a little more kurt these days anyway. But she 0:17:12.400 --> 0:17:15.440 explained that to me, you know, so she always basically 0:17:15.480 --> 0:17:18.159 debunked what I might have learned in school or the 0:17:18.200 --> 0:17:22.560 Western European version of Valerie. My mama didn't tell me 0:17:22.560 --> 0:17:24.760 that Sunding War real. But my stepdaddy dressed up at 0:17:24.760 --> 0:17:26.360 Santa when I was seven years old, and I caught 0:17:26.400 --> 0:17:28.200 him and my mom in the kitchen in the living 0:17:28.280 --> 0:17:31.800 room and they they wasn't wrapping pressures. Santa was still 0:17:31.840 --> 0:17:34.720 they hit you get busy. I said, that's saying I 0:17:34.880 --> 0:17:38.879 ate the same Santa every bringing me gift. Listen, Dowery 0:17:39.040 --> 0:17:40.840 was trying to make sure you got some good gifts. 0:17:40.880 --> 0:17:43.359 You better go back and thank her. She's trying to 0:17:43.400 --> 0:17:45.880 make sure you had good gift. She went the extra mile. 0:17:48.359 --> 0:17:54.600 Is doing it to my mama. This is laughing. They 0:17:55.080 --> 0:18:01.120 laugh with us. So in the in the Current News, 0:18:01.200 --> 0:18:07.680 Lauren Hogan yesterday, apparently allegedly Mr August Elsina said he 0:18:07.720 --> 0:18:11.600 found love that he wasn't even expecting or looking for, 0:18:12.119 --> 0:18:14.440 and he invited his new love to come and sit 0:18:14.520 --> 0:18:16.960 with him on the on the on the stage, and 0:18:17.080 --> 0:18:21.800 his new love was the guy. Oh okay, that's what 0:18:21.960 --> 0:18:24.680 I said, lawing everybody up. And I was like, I'm like, okay, 0:18:24.760 --> 0:18:27.840 you know, I'm like, I'm like, maybe he trying something else. 0:18:29.240 --> 0:18:31.480 Love is love and if you know, that's where you 0:18:31.480 --> 0:18:33.040 found love, because I think he's been through a lot 0:18:33.080 --> 0:18:35.280 of trauma in his life. So wherever he finds love, 0:18:35.359 --> 0:18:40.240 piece of blessings to him. For sure, he's been through 0:18:40.280 --> 0:18:43.040 a lot in his life. So if you found loving 0:18:43.040 --> 0:18:46.200 a man, we are happy for you. August. Be happy 0:18:46.200 --> 0:18:53.480 to be married, Be joyful, be fruitful, and multiplayer damn 0:18:53.720 --> 0:18:58.720 might not be in the multiplayer, um, But I want 0:18:58.720 --> 0:19:01.640 to switch back to the topic of injustice. A little bit. 0:19:01.720 --> 0:19:07.840 So yesterday Um Todd and his wife Julie Cristle were sentenced. Well, 0:19:07.840 --> 0:19:10.679 tyd was sentenced to twelve years in prison. Julia was 0:19:10.720 --> 0:19:15.560 sentenced to seven for whatever part they played in their 0:19:15.680 --> 0:19:21.240 bank and wired fraud scheme. Um, I think that the 0:19:21.320 --> 0:19:24.600 sentence is a bit excessant, and I find it interesting 0:19:24.600 --> 0:19:27.399 that that's what they got. But um, what do you think? Well? 0:19:27.440 --> 0:19:31.080 I think that well, so allegedly the story is the 0:19:31.119 --> 0:19:34.879 reason they got caught was because Ty Christy supposed his 0:19:35.000 --> 0:19:38.080 business partner and him and him had some kind of 0:19:38.080 --> 0:19:39.879 gay love affair on the load, that is what the 0:19:39.880 --> 0:19:44.119 tabloids are reporting, and something went south and the boyfriend 0:19:44.200 --> 0:19:49.000 was a scorn partner and told the dirt. Now I 0:19:49.040 --> 0:19:50.919 hope the wife was involved in and she was just 0:19:51.000 --> 0:19:52.840 part of it. But she's doing seven years and the 0:19:52.880 --> 0:19:57.320 women's penitentiary. But she damned she pretty straight. Ty Chrisley 0:19:57.520 --> 0:20:00.320 is suspect always. He might Christly know it has been, 0:20:00.480 --> 0:20:02.760 but Christie about to know penis because baby, they sent 0:20:02.880 --> 0:20:07.600 him to a man spen intentiary twelve years. It might 0:20:07.640 --> 0:20:09.600 not be twelve years of slave, but he might be 0:20:09.640 --> 0:20:11.800 twelve years of made good. God, they're gonna have their 0:20:11.840 --> 0:20:15.160 wait with you tired, Christie. Well, I think he's going 0:20:15.200 --> 0:20:18.800 to a federal prison, so I'm hoping, you know. And 0:20:18.880 --> 0:20:21.080 to me, I thought he was reckless with some of 0:20:21.080 --> 0:20:23.359 the things that they posted that he was supposedly doing, 0:20:23.359 --> 0:20:25.480 like flammed to l A every two weeks just to 0:20:25.560 --> 0:20:28.199 get a hair cut and something, you know, on on 0:20:28.240 --> 0:20:31.439 somebody else's money. Some things you almost look like you 0:20:31.480 --> 0:20:33.320 don't want to get caught, but you're asking to be 0:20:33.359 --> 0:20:37.320 caught because you just do a ridiculous ship, right. But 0:20:37.320 --> 0:20:39.040 I mean, like, we don't know the real truth because 0:20:39.040 --> 0:20:42.320 I know that their defense was whoever this the person was, 0:20:42.400 --> 0:20:45.080 their ex business partner, had a lot of shady dealings 0:20:45.720 --> 0:20:48.359 and um, it wasn't their fault, That's what they were saying. 0:20:49.119 --> 0:20:52.520 So I don't know what the actual story is. I'm 0:20:52.560 --> 0:20:55.480 just more so sad for their kids one and also 0:20:55.560 --> 0:20:58.360 to for that beautiful grand baby that they haven't they've 0:20:58.359 --> 0:21:01.240 been raising, because what gonna happen to her now, you 0:21:01.280 --> 0:21:04.240 know what I mean? So, and I just think it's 0:21:04.240 --> 0:21:06.800 interesting because he's I think between the two of them, 0:21:06.800 --> 0:21:09.560 they've been real advocates for the black community. Considering that 0:21:09.600 --> 0:21:11.119 they have a daughter because they were getting a lot 0:21:11.119 --> 0:21:14.399 of backlash and hate speech from other people for having it, 0:21:14.520 --> 0:21:18.560 you know, a black granddaughter, and he was supporting her. 0:21:18.600 --> 0:21:20.400 I saw his interview that he did with tamer Hall 0:21:21.040 --> 0:21:23.640 what and was talking about how he doesn't allow that 0:21:23.800 --> 0:21:26.399 for for people to come for his you know, his granddaughter. 0:21:26.960 --> 0:21:32.880 So it's just interesting that, you know, despite their transgressions, 0:21:33.440 --> 0:21:37.040 you know, it's still it wasn't enough, all the good 0:21:37.080 --> 0:21:40.199 that they've done wasn't enough to either give them a 0:21:40.240 --> 0:21:44.000 little sentence or you know, keep them out of jail. 0:21:43.359 --> 0:21:46.320
