Um wow. And I did 0:03:16.840 --> 0:03:19.320 an interview with Tasha K the day before he passed, 0:03:19.360 --> 0:03:21.840 and we had just talked about Paul Mooney. She asked 0:03:21.880 --> 0:03:24.080 me who I admired. I told her the story of 0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:25.960 how I met him and who he was and what 0:03:26.040 --> 0:03:28.680 he said to me. But I'll tell you guys that later. Well, 0:03:28.760 --> 0:03:31.200 y'all watched Tasha K's interview when we when she drops it, 0:03:31.280 --> 0:03:34.960 I think it's Thursday. So yeah, Paul Mooney was the 0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:38.440 last of that era of the George Carlins and the 0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:44.720 uh oh, Dick Gregory's and the h Richard Pryor five 0:03:44.840 --> 0:03:48.200 Foxes and the wand the Page and so many others. 0:03:48.240 --> 0:03:51.320 So yeah, they're having a memorial for him this Thursday. 0:03:51.360 --> 0:03:54.480 I'll be there. They're having the tribute. I'll be the fat, 0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:56.160 pretty one. I want to wear this. I might wear 0:03:56.160 --> 0:03:57.640 this head, but I want with this out, this shirt, 0:03:57.640 --> 0:03:59.720 this shirt. This is not complimenting me at all. Don't 0:03:59.840 --> 0:04:06.240 look like I'm about to run track. Serious, my week 0:04:06.320 --> 0:04:08.360 was good. Two things that you just mentioned I want 0:04:08.360 --> 0:04:10.120 you to kind of expound on those if you would. 0:04:10.160 --> 0:04:12.360 For those who don't know, why was it so important 0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:15.360 to being be included amongst these other comedians um at 0:04:15.400 --> 0:04:17.599 the recognition? Why was that so important to you? We 0:04:17.680 --> 0:04:21.039 all played a part in the night at the Comedy Union, 0:04:21.160 --> 0:04:23.560 I mean God, good guy at the Comedy Store on 0:04:23.600 --> 0:04:26.279 Tuesday night called Fat Tuesdays. They used to be hosted 0:04:26.279 --> 0:04:29.760 by a guy Tory, and a lot of black comedians 0:04:29.880 --> 0:04:32.839 or other comedians could not get on the main stage 0:04:32.839 --> 0:04:34.640 in the belly room at the Comedy Store, so they 0:04:34.680 --> 0:04:38.120 created a night call Fat Tuesdays, and it was for everyone. 0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:41.880 It was for blacks and Tino and I was an anomaly, 0:04:42.000 --> 0:04:44.200 but guy gave me a couple of opportunities. I actually 0:04:44.240 --> 0:04:46.160 met Kevin Harthy and worked with him on the show there, 0:04:46.600 --> 0:04:48.560 and it just they inducted me into that and they 0:04:48.600 --> 0:04:50.520 asked me my story and how it went down, and 0:04:50.560 --> 0:04:52.520 it was great. It was. It was dope. So for 0:04:52.600 --> 0:04:54.880 all the beatings that I took in the comedy world 0:04:54.880 --> 0:04:57.640 that you guys will never know about, because I was abused, 0:04:57.680 --> 0:05:00.400 not abused physically, but the name called Ling and the 0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:04.039 austraization and all that, baby, all of them knows, I 0:05:04.080 --> 0:05:06.680 got that one Yes, y'all can go to hell because 0:05:06.680 --> 0:05:10.400 that one yes feel better than all y'all know. I 0:05:10.480 --> 0:05:14.800 just wanted y'all to know that we have to I'm 0:05:14.800 --> 0:05:18.320 on the main wall outside eye level. So when you're 0:05:18.320 --> 0:05:21.039 walking past, you say Flame Monro. So if you want 0:05:21.040 --> 0:05:25.760 to touch me, touch me lo every time you touch 0:05:25.800 --> 0:05:30.040 my name on the wall, and I just want to 0:05:30.040 --> 0:05:32.480 say congratulations. I feel like I feel like flame. I've 0:05:32.520 --> 0:05:34.720 just watched this journey for so long. I remember seeing 0:05:34.720 --> 0:05:37.320 your perform in places that smell more like fried chicken 0:05:37.360 --> 0:05:39.760 than anything else, you know, and so I know that 0:05:39.800 --> 0:05:41.880 the struggle is real. You have worked the circuit. You 0:05:41.880 --> 0:05:44.200 have really, you have worked your way there. None of 0:05:44.200 --> 0:05:46.360 it has been given to you. Some congratulations. I was 0:05:46.400 --> 0:05:51.000 a grave digger. Thank you. Welcome, Welcome, Flame man. We 0:05:51.040 --> 0:05:53.240 want you to chime in the conversation. Gonna get heated 0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:55.640 today a little bit, but we all want to start. Hivy, 0:05:55.640 --> 0:05:58.080 where were you going there? You take the lead. I'm 0:05:58.120 --> 0:06:00.000 gonna let you start. Well, I'm gonna let you be 0:06:00.120 --> 0:06:03.880 the top today, Lord, and I'm gonna start with how 0:06:04.240 --> 0:06:06.680 the feedback we got from this past week, people said, Nick, 0:06:06.720 --> 0:06:08.480 we need to see you in the studio more often, 0:06:08.800 --> 0:06:11.000 and I got a lot of compliments on my Black 0:06:11.040 --> 0:06:13.719 Effect hat, So I will be wearing that every time 0:06:13.760 --> 0:06:15.760 from that once, since everybody said I looked better and 0:06:16.120 --> 0:06:19.240 did what he said, did y'all did y'all read between lanes, 0:06:19.440 --> 0:06:21.760 He'll be wearing the hat every time. He said he 0:06:21.800 --> 0:06:23.599 was gonna be in the studio everywhere. Okay, I just 0:06:23.600 --> 0:06:25.159 want to make sure y'all heard that, because I ain't 0:06:25.200 --> 0:06:26.800 never wrong and around with me, I just looked like that. 0:06:27.160 --> 0:06:29.960 I'm just saying I haven't gotten my hat yet, so yeah, 0:06:30.080 --> 0:06:33.080 we haven't gotten I haven't got my hat yet. On 0:06:33.160 --> 0:06:36.160 the sweatshirts, because we got some Black Effects sweatshirts, Nicholas 0:06:36.320 --> 0:06:38.520 ordered one for me and one for Lauren. He ordered 0:06:38.600 --> 0:06:41.640 man too big and hers too small. Please don't ask 0:06:41.720 --> 0:06:46.000 a man for a woman's size for anything. Yeah, don't 0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:49.400 don't ask a man for a woman's size. Black Effect Network, 0:06:52.120 --> 0:06:54.800 Oh my god, don't do that. Uh yeah, because I 0:06:55.040 --> 0:06:57.800 truly thought that was perfect. You know. Um, let me 0:06:57.839 --> 0:07:03.560 go ahead and just start jump right down. Remind I 0:07:03.600 --> 0:07:05.240 want to jump in there, you know. We one of 0:07:05.279 --> 0:07:07.839 the criticisms we've been talking about with the Biden administration 0:07:08.080 --> 0:07:09.960 many have been saying he had not been doing enough 0:07:10.440 --> 0:07:12.960 for African Americans, for people of color. They want to 0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:16.440 see more, They want to see more of wine, wine wine. Right, Well, 0:07:16.680 --> 0:07:18.720 Joe Biden said, you know what, guess what I have 0:07:18.920 --> 0:07:21.040 been I think that there's something to be said for 0:07:21.480 --> 0:07:24.680 quiet diplomacy, Like I think that we're so used to 0:07:24.960 --> 0:07:27.960 a former administration that needed to beat the chest and 0:07:28.120 --> 0:07:29.920 bang the walls so let you know everything that they 0:07:29.960 --> 0:07:31.920 were doing. And it seems like Joe Biden has been 0:07:31.960 --> 0:07:34.360 doing the work and worrying less about the praise or 0:07:34.360 --> 0:07:37.960 acknowledgement from those in the peanut gallery. Joe Biden just 0:07:38.120 --> 0:07:44.240 passed um moving forward with support for minority farmers. There 0:07:44.280 --> 0:07:46.480 are a number of black farmers who have had their 0:07:46.880 --> 0:07:50.239 land stolen or have been in deep financial debt because 0:07:50.320 --> 0:07:53.120 of just systemic issues that have kept them from being 0:07:53.200 --> 0:07:57.160 economically viable. So many black farms have been underwater financially, 0:07:57.200 --> 0:07:59.520 and families have struggled or have fallen out of the business. 0:07:59.760 --> 0:08:03.040 After are having this land or this business for generations. Well, 0:08:03.120 --> 0:08:06.200 the Biden administration just went ahead with the windfall. The 0:08:06.240 --> 0:08:09.520 government is offering to pay off more than two dollar 0:08:09.720 --> 0:08:13.360 farm loans two different African American and Indigenous farmers who 0:08:13.480 --> 0:08:18.880 have been systemically uh disproportionately affected by policies in the 0:08:18.960 --> 0:08:22.280 United States, either by having their land seized or have 0:08:22.400 --> 0:08:25.640 not had the same economic opportunities as some white farmers. 0:08:25.760 --> 0:08:27.680 And it's just one of the little things that he 0:08:27.840 --> 0:08:30.280 felt needed to be done to try to right a wrong, 0:08:30.600 --> 0:08:33.120 a type of reparations. And I just thought that we 0:08:33.200 --> 0:08:35.839 should acknowledge the fact that there are several black farmers 0:08:35.880 --> 0:08:39.920 who will benefit from this. What you got to say, Laurence, 0:08:40.960 --> 0:08:43.560 I know I hear. And let me tell you how 0:08:43.600 --> 0:08:45.600 I feel about the situation, because I, like I said, 0:08:46.040 --> 0:08:48.440 give by the chance. We can't expect him to work 0:08:48.480 --> 0:08:50.760 a miracle in a damn month. Y'all asked one a 0:08:50.840 --> 0:08:52.760 miracle in a month. I'm glad he's reached out to 0:08:52.800 --> 0:08:56.200 do something. I appreciate that I'm not I'm tamed by. 0:08:56.440 --> 0:08:58.920 I'm just giving. I'm giving them, I'm giving them a chance. 0:08:59.000 --> 0:09:03.600 I'm not giving them a pay. Yeah, I I'm all 0:09:03.720 --> 0:09:07.160 for giving Biden in this administration a chance. I voted 0:09:07.200 --> 0:09:09.959 for Joe Biden. I think the problem that we run 0:09:10.000 --> 0:09:13.600 into because similarly, the same thing that happened this week 0:09:13.760 --> 0:09:16.839 is there was a huge bill that was passed on 0:09:17.120 --> 0:09:21.000 anti Asian hate, and I think that's where the problem 0:09:21.120 --> 0:09:23.600 comes in. I'm going to play Devil's advocate here because 0:09:24.600 --> 0:09:27.520 that bill was passed in a matter of like two 0:09:27.600 --> 0:09:30.520 months from when the incidents happened around you know, people 0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:33.640 attacking those of the Asian community, to something getting passed 0:09:33.679 --> 0:09:36.280 in the Senate. But then like I read today that, 0:09:36.400 --> 0:09:38.559 for instance, the George Floyd bill that was supposed to 0:09:38.600 --> 0:09:41.959 be passed on is not going to happen. So well, 0:09:42.000 --> 0:09:45.120 I think it's great that Biden's Biden's making these slow strides, 0:09:45.120 --> 0:09:49.280 and I'm not putting everything on him, but unfortunately, it's 0:09:49.320 --> 0:09:52.800 like guilt by association because this is his administration and 0:09:52.920 --> 0:09:55.920 the fact is certain things are getting passed for other 0:09:56.000 --> 0:09:59.320 communities and the things that need to be passed for us, 0:09:59.480 --> 0:10:02.120 the Black unity is not happening, and we're the ones 0:10:02.160 --> 0:10:04.600 that elected him. So I think that's where we're going 0:10:04.640 --> 0:10:08.640 to continue to run into some friction with voters really 0:10:08.720 --> 0:10:12.599 because we can't get nothing past for us. But you know, 0:10:12.720 --> 0:10:15.000 he's he's like, oh, you know, he's making small strides 0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:17.640 and so yeah, that's great and all, but where's you know, 0:10:17.720 --> 0:10:21.880 it's like, where's our legislation? I think you're speaking about that, lord, 0:10:22.000 --> 0:10:24.280 And you're not a rapper, you're not a famous artist. 0:10:24.400 --> 0:10:26.640 You're not because they're awfully inquired right now, you know, 0:10:26.720 --> 0:10:31.600 those hold the vote ones? Hello Williams? Can you now? 0:10:31.760 --> 0:10:34.360 Can you now? Can you now? Because they all died 0:10:34.480 --> 0:10:37.080 silent right now? Now? When the primaries come next year 0:10:37.320 --> 0:10:39.120 and it's time to vote again, I don't want y'all 0:10:39.200 --> 0:10:42.200 jumping out the woodwork talking about black folks, hold your vote, 0:10:42.320 --> 0:10:44.360 black folks, what they did for the black agenda, because 0:10:44.400 --> 0:10:46.959 if the black agenda is now, you niggas is quiet, 0:10:47.000 --> 0:10:50.000 So the black agenda is moving forward, y'all not if 0:10:50.040 --> 0:10:52.120 you ain't talking about it now, we don't want to 0:10:52.160 --> 0:10:54.040 hear later. There's an old fable that me and Ms. 0:10:54.200 --> 0:10:56.960 Rosetta love very much. If you didn't help me break 0:10:57.040 --> 0:10:59.000 the bread, don't be here to help me eat it. 0:10:59.280 --> 0:11:02.199 I'm gathering the ingredients right now, the yeast and the 0:11:02.320 --> 0:11:05.679 flour and the sugar and the salt and the oven 0:11:05.720 --> 0:11:07.920 and all that. If you niggas ain't saying it now, 0:11:08.040 --> 0:11:09.800 and I'm talking to you, and you know who I'm 0:11:09.840 --> 0:11:11.880 talking to because you know who you were that came 0:11:11.920 --> 0:11:14.600 out the woolworks telling us the whole out vote. Imagine 0:11:14.840 --> 0:11:16.959 if we had held out vote, the situation that we 0:11:17.040 --> 0:11:19.839 would be in right now where they're telling us what 0:11:20.000 --> 0:11:22.000 I'm looking at. You ain't telling me I've seen it. 0:11:22.200 --> 0:11:24.280 I got my good glasses on. But you tell me 0:11:24.360 --> 0:11:27.400 on January to six that that was a tourist attraction. Nigga, 0:11:27.440 --> 0:11:29.079 if you don't knock it off, and I'm talking to 0:11:29.160 --> 0:11:32.240 the white boy, nigga, if you don't knock it off. Yeah, 0:11:32.440 --> 0:11:33.920 that's just I mean. And like I said, I'm playing 0:11:33.960 --> 0:11:36.560 Devil's advocate here, and like I'm not blaming Joe. I'm 0:11:36.559 --> 0:11:39.319 not putting Joe Biden specifically at fault for this, but 0:11:39.440 --> 0:11:42.480 like I said, he's guilty by fault. It's his administration, 0:11:42.559 --> 0:11:44.920 you know what I mean. And so it's just it 0:11:45.040 --> 0:11:47.160 is what it is. You know, black folks need something, 0:11:47.280 --> 0:11:49.959 and a nice anti lynching bill that's been in the 0:11:50.000 --> 0:11:51.960 Senate for over two hundred years. Getting that past might 0:11:52.000 --> 0:11:53.880 be a good first start, just throwing that out there. 0:11:54.600 --> 0:11:58.520 So did you see where Caitlin Jenner tried to attack 0:11:58.720 --> 0:12:01.160 the transgender woman that your body and the pointed as 0:12:01.200 --> 0:12:04.000 the doctor to say that she was unattractive and woo 0:12:04.200 --> 0:12:08.560 woo woo. Uh big Bruce, big pimpin have you looked 0:12:08.559 --> 0:12:14.640 at yourself? That's before doing and after you were gonna? 0:12:16.920 --> 0:12:19.120 How dare you try to throw somebody upunder the bus 0:12:19.200 --> 0:12:21.959 while you're walking around here looking like lurch if you 0:12:22.080 --> 0:12:24.160 don't knock at all? I ain't vote for you either, 0:12:24.840 --> 0:12:27.920 O g BT friendly, but not for you pimping. You 0:12:28.040 --> 0:12:31.040 ain't my you. You're a Republican. They don't even won't 0:12:31.080 --> 0:12:32.839 your gass and you're too stupid to see it. But 0:12:32.960 --> 0:12:34.599 you just keep on driving that kind of putting on 0:12:34.640 --> 0:12:37.360 your lipstick. But don't nobody cross the street while she's driving. 0:12:37.400 --> 0:12:39.600 The bitch is a dangerous driver. She too one out 0:12:40.120 --> 0:12:43.599 come on it's that kind of day, baby, And I 0:12:43.600 --> 0:12:47.160 ain't even had no huh we all remember flame this. 0:12:47.520 --> 0:12:51.520 This followed miss generous comments about why all of her 0:12:51.559 --> 0:12:54.480 friends are leaving l A because the homeless situation is 0:12:54.559 --> 0:12:57.520 so unsightly it makes them uncomfortable. Sow they leave in 0:12:57.720 --> 0:12:59.880 l A because she got a driver's license. That's why 0:13:00.000 --> 0:13:01.640 they leave in l A. Because they gave Caylin the 0:13:01.720 --> 0:13:03.719 driver's life and she will run your ass over and 0:13:03.840 --> 0:13:07.440 kill you like she ain't need to before. I ain't 0:13:07.440 --> 0:13:09.880 saying nothing that ain't happening before. So you know, y'all 0:13:10.160 --> 0:13:12.600 get to be a old flame. You're this, I'm saying, 0:13:12.679 --> 0:13:15.120 what the trunk is the truth? When my troops come out, 0:13:15.280 --> 0:13:20.240 I'm gonna be like, I surely did. I do think 0:13:20.280 --> 0:13:22.640 that that's a good point, though, Nick, because that's actually 0:13:22.679 --> 0:13:24.439 something that like my dad is dealing with being on 0:13:24.480 --> 0:13:26.840 the fire department. You've got all of these like posh 0:13:26.960 --> 0:13:30.120 nash like you know, white people. I'm just call it 0:13:30.160 --> 0:13:32.040 as what it is in these different areas that are 0:13:32.080 --> 0:13:35.400 complaining about the homelessess situation and saying that they're invading 0:13:35.400 --> 0:13:38.920 their neighborhoods, and it's baffling to me because it's like, well, 0:13:38.960 --> 0:13:40.720 what are you guys gonna do about it? They're homeless 0:13:40.760 --> 0:13:43.520 for a reason, it's not their fault. So I just 0:13:43.640 --> 0:13:45.679 think that that's something else needs to be addressed. We 0:13:45.760 --> 0:13:49.679 have a homeless epidemic in California, for sure, a good 0:13:49.679 --> 0:13:53.280 weather and Flame was mentioning just so people who know 0:13:53.360 --> 0:13:56.280 what we're talking about. Flame was talking about specifically referencing Dr. 0:13:56.360 --> 0:14:00.360 Rachel Levine, who Caitlyn Jenner kind of made an ugly 0:14:00.400 --> 0:14:04.440 transphobic remark about her not being an attractive woman. So now, 0:14:04.520 --> 0:14:07.760 real talking, now, real talk, We're gonna We're gonna do it. 0:14:07.880 --> 0:14:09.079 You know, I'm gonna do it all the way. I'm 0:14:09.080 --> 0:14:13.360 gonna be fair on both sides. What's her name? Uh 0:14:13.679 --> 0:14:16.960 Dr Rachel Levine or now. She may be smart as 0:14:17.000 --> 0:14:18.719 a whip, but she definitely looked like the Quake a 0:14:18.760 --> 0:14:20.520 oats Box, which when we was growing up, you remember 0:14:20.560 --> 0:14:24.720 the man on quake Olas. She definitely get now, but 0:14:24.920 --> 0:14:27.160 that don't mean she Bruce. You don't get a pass 0:14:27.200 --> 0:14:37.160 to say it. You know what, I know? Who ya? 0:14:37.320 --> 0:14:39.000 You remember the Quake a oats Box? Right? That's what 0:14:39.120 --> 0:14:41.960 you're speechless, old Meal on Saturday morning because you didn't 0:14:41.960 --> 0:14:43.800 get everything you got serial, but you got ome on 0:14:43.880 --> 0:14:45.920 Saturday morning. You'll remember the old you know with the 0:14:45.960 --> 0:14:49.960 white hair you're talking about? Come on, where we are? 0:14:50.200 --> 0:14:53.520 Where we are? Two things I want to make sure 0:14:53.560 --> 0:14:55.640 we hit on today and then we can, of course 0:14:55.840 --> 0:14:59.320 move forward. But the two things I think are necessary 0:14:59.560 --> 0:15:05.920 to mentioned. The guards in the Epstein situation. I don't 0:15:05.920 --> 0:15:07.800 know if you all saw this, but they both took 0:15:07.880 --> 0:15:10.480 plea deals what where they will be able to avoid 0:15:10.680 --> 0:15:14.080 jail time. And I'm specifically talking about if you'll remember 0:15:14.560 --> 0:15:18.400 uh Epstein who was found uh dead by suicide in 0:15:18.480 --> 0:15:28.640 his cell. Uh So, uh Michael Thomas and Tova Noel 0:15:29.360 --> 0:15:31.480 were charged with lying on their prison records to make 0:15:31.480 --> 0:15:33.560 it seem like they had made the required checks and 0:15:33.640 --> 0:15:35.880 they actually had not. It looks like they were surfing 0:15:35.920 --> 0:15:37.840 on the internet and that kind of fallen asleep. But 0:15:37.960 --> 0:15:40.120 what's important to mention in all of this, I think 0:15:40.160 --> 0:15:43.520 it's more than anything, they both have been working sixty 0:15:43.720 --> 0:15:49.600 eight hours that week. Because the facility is is notoriously understaffed, 0:15:49.920 --> 0:15:53.200 because the staff is underpaid, so they have a hard 0:15:53.240 --> 0:15:56.840 time retaining staff. Those who are on the payroll are 0:15:56.920 --> 0:16:01.520 often required to work over time, and in this particular situation, 0:16:01.960 --> 0:16:06.880 both um Michael Thomas and Toba Nol had both done overtime. 0:16:06.920 --> 0:16:09.920 They were unlike the third day of overtime and we're 0:16:09.960 --> 0:16:13.080 simply exhausted. So all of it fell on them that 0:16:13.280 --> 0:16:15.640 because they had not done the check, the reason they 0:16:15.720 --> 0:16:17.640 had to take a plete deal. They were charged for 0:16:17.800 --> 0:16:20.880 not having done that, done the rounds falsifying that they 0:16:20.960 --> 0:16:23.640 had done the rounds, and because they had not done 0:16:23.680 --> 0:16:26.760 the rounds, it is suggested that they could have prevented 0:16:27.280 --> 0:16:30.600 Mr Epstein from taking his own life, uh in his cell. 0:16:31.520 --> 0:16:33.800 I don't think that it's necessarily their fault because I 0:16:33.920 --> 0:16:36.960 think the fact that they're underpaid and understaffed it takes 0:16:37.000 --> 0:16:39.480 a toll on people, and I think that that should 0:16:39.560 --> 0:16:42.200 kind of trickle up the ladder to whoever is responsible 0:16:42.280 --> 0:16:45.160 for that. I don't think it should necessarily fall on him, however, 0:16:45.480 --> 0:16:49.000 or them, excuse me. I do think though that um, 0:16:49.160 --> 0:16:51.440 it hasn't been proven that Jeffrey Epstein is dead. I 0:16:51.520 --> 0:16:54.840 am a conspiracy theorist on this subject. But saying all 0:16:54.920 --> 0:16:56.240 that to say is I don't think that the guards 0:16:56.280 --> 0:16:59.560 necessarily should be at fault. Okay, you say the key words. 0:17:00.240 --> 0:17:02.920 They were underpaid and they had worked forty to sixty 0:17:02.960 --> 0:17:05.639 hours a week. If you underpaid me, and I'm working 0:17:05.760 --> 0:17:09.200 from working from hands amount from paycheck to paycheck. But 0:17:09.359 --> 0:17:12.800 then I get an email from a strange, random whatever whatever, 0:17:13.119 --> 0:17:16.440 We're gonna give you a hundred thousand dollars to go 0:17:16.600 --> 0:17:19.640 to an extra thirty minutes to lunch wherever this thing happens. 0:17:20.080 --> 0:17:24.040 Guess what I'm taking the hundred thousand. They already agreed 0:17:24.080 --> 0:17:26.280 to the plea deal. They're not gonna do jail time. 0:17:26.640 --> 0:17:28.960 The money is probably somewhere sitting up because I'm gonna 0:17:28.960 --> 0:17:31.920 say what I said that Nigga ain't dead. He had 0:17:32.000 --> 0:17:34.960 way too much money and two days before his alleged 0:17:35.080 --> 0:17:38.680 suicide he transferred the money to somebody else. Everybody was 0:17:38.720 --> 0:17:42.000 paid off. I believe my conspiracy theory that had he 0:17:42.160 --> 0:17:45.960 been dead, he I know they got a Max, said Maxwell. 0:17:46.359 --> 0:17:49.440 But he sent that information and he held the he 0:17:49.680 --> 0:17:51.760 held the keys to the city. He knew what the 0:17:51.800 --> 0:17:54.720 bodies was buried. He sent that information to somebody that 0:17:54.880 --> 0:17:57.120 nobody else knew about that. He knew love and trusted 0:17:57.440 --> 0:18:00.240 if everything ever had anything and with the note if 0:18:00.240 --> 0:18:03.280 anything happens in my demise released this has it been 0:18:03.320 --> 0:18:06.680 released that Nigga is in a cave with an underaged girl. 0:18:09.280 --> 0:18:12.639 Both officers regarding Epstein and we're working overtime because of 0:18:12.720 --> 0:18:16.000 staffing shortages. One of the guards, who did not primarily 0:18:16.080 --> 0:18:19.480 work as a correctional officer, was working a fifth straight 0:18:19.640 --> 0:18:23.800 day of overtime. The other guard was working mandatory overtime, 0:18:24.160 --> 0:18:27.159 meaning a second eight hour shift in the single day. 0:18:27.200 --> 0:18:29.159 But Nick, don't you smell that. You smell that, You 0:18:29.280 --> 0:18:31.720 smell that lat up under that. So this is a 0:18:31.800 --> 0:18:34.400 man who everybody in the car. He could bring down 0:18:34.440 --> 0:18:38.480 the end, He could bring down billions of lots of people. 0:18:38.600 --> 0:18:43.360 He could bring down dynasties because of all information he had, 0:18:43.720 --> 0:18:46.320 y'all put him in a place that's understaff. Hear me, 0:18:46.520 --> 0:18:49.920 hear this, it's understaff, they're working over time. He should 0:18:49.960 --> 0:18:52.760 have been like like the head and Scandal, he should 0:18:52.760 --> 0:18:54.520 have been in the room where you could see everything 0:18:54.600 --> 0:18:57.239 he's doing twenty four hours a day. That was all 0:18:57.320 --> 0:18:59.480 the conspiracy to me, why would y'all send him there 0:18:59.680 --> 0:19:02.320 when it's a lot To me, I just I smell it. 0:19:02.440 --> 0:19:06.480 But but you know here, even in Scandal, Candy Alexander 0:19:06.560 --> 0:19:09.960 got away what not what's her name is? Mother? That's different, 0:19:11.840 --> 0:19:14.800 it's different. They put him in a place where they 0:19:14.840 --> 0:19:16.640 knew he was going to be able to get away. 0:19:16.680 --> 0:19:18.399 It was to me, I think the whole thing was 0:19:18.440 --> 0:19:21.520 a set up. Well, technically, that's supposed to be one 0:19:21.560 --> 0:19:25.920 of the most secure facilities, right, um and understand understaff 0:19:25.960 --> 0:19:30.240 and overwork. Yeah, yeah, Well I'm flame. I'm just I'm 0:19:30.320 --> 0:19:33.280 listening to you what you tell you're reading it, but 0:19:33.400 --> 0:19:35.560 I'm listening and I'm reading between the lines as you 0:19:35.680 --> 0:19:40.240 saying it. Right. I just think that, um, I do 0:19:40.480 --> 0:19:42.800 think that things like this feed into the ideas of 0:19:42.880 --> 0:19:46.320 conspiracies because it leaves so many questions unanswered. How this 0:19:46.440 --> 0:19:49.159 man had routinely had he not had a pattern of 0:19:49.440 --> 0:19:53.639 seemingly escaping justice time and time again. That prosecutor in 0:19:53.680 --> 0:19:55.879 Florida who kind of turned his back and and let 0:19:55.960 --> 0:19:58.560 Epstein get away with things that normal people would not 0:19:58.640 --> 0:20:01.920 have gotten away with it us indeed, um caused one 0:20:02.000 --> 0:20:07.800 to question, uh the uh how voracious they were? Is 0:20:07.880 --> 0:20:12.960 that the same facility Chapel escape from? Oh? Good question 0:20:13.040 --> 0:20:16.840 that I don't know that. I don't know that. I 0:20:16.880 --> 0:20:18.720 don't know, but I'm just saying even I don't know 0:20:18.840 --> 0:20:21.399 if there's any such thing as a secure facility, because 0:20:21.400 --> 0:20:24.680 like remember, Alcatraz was like the most secure thing ever 0:20:24.800 --> 0:20:26.960 in life, right, and six people escaped and it's on 0:20:27.000 --> 0:20:30.480 a freaking island. So is anything actually secure is really 0:20:30.520 --> 0:20:33.080 the question these days? So I mean, it is what 0:20:33.240 --> 0:20:35.639 it is. I want to just touch on something we 0:20:35.760 --> 0:20:37.960 kind of we were breached on earlier, and then I 0:20:38.000 --> 0:20:39.760 will seed the floor because I know there's a lot 0:20:39.800 --> 0:20:41.560 you all want to cover as well. But we were 0:20:41.600 --> 0:20:44.200 talking about the police reform bill, and one of the 0:20:44.280 --> 0:20:46.160 things that popped out of me. I had this conversation 0:20:46.240 --> 0:20:49.000 with Flame earlier, and I thought it was important to 0:20:49.119 --> 0:20:53.640 mention that President Biden his administration is pushing to push 0:20:54.119 --> 0:20:56.840 forward this police reform bill. They had hoped to get 0:20:56.840 --> 0:20:59.240 it done by the anniversary of George Floyd's death. I 0:20:59.359 --> 0:21:01.560 told Flame smart and said, I cannot believe it's been 0:21:01.600 --> 0:21:03.560 a year. It just doesn't It seems like it is. 0:21:03.680 --> 0:21:06.880 Um It literally seems like it was more recent than that, right, 0:21:07.680 --> 0:21:11.280 I say that to say. Maxine Waters was on yesterday 0:21:11.600 --> 0:21:14.560 and she talked about how she couldn't care less about 0:21:14.600 --> 0:21:17.520 a deadline. She said, forget the deadline. If pat if 0:21:17.600 --> 0:21:19.600 meeting a deadline means they're only going to get part 0:21:19.680 --> 0:21:22.680 of what we need, then I'm not worried about a deadline. 0:21:22.920 --> 0:21:25.280 She says. I want it all. I want a band 0:21:25.320 --> 0:21:28.600 of the chokeholes. I want a registry where officers who 0:21:28.600 --> 0:21:31.680
