We 0:02:09.320 --> 0:02:12.919 got a lot of topics to cover. Uh, it's been 0:02:12.919 --> 0:02:15.480 in such a dynamic weeklies and gentlemen. I know you 0:02:15.480 --> 0:02:20.160 guys have seen me on on CNN and where else 0:02:20.160 --> 0:02:22.800 should I go? Hey dot, So thank you guys for 0:02:22.880 --> 0:02:25.280 joining me. Hello everyone. Then I put a face on 0:02:25.360 --> 0:02:27.360 real quick. I got on my CNN hair. I just 0:02:27.480 --> 0:02:29.959 changed the look, but I have on my seeing in 0:02:30.160 --> 0:02:35.320 hair CNN seems to uh kind of like an old girl. 0:02:35.440 --> 0:02:38.480 What is that about? So let's talk about what's what's 0:02:38.480 --> 0:02:40.680 hot topics right now in the news. First of all, 0:02:40.720 --> 0:02:42.960 let me give a special shout out to Wendy Williams. 0:02:42.960 --> 0:02:46.320 We're hoping that she um recovers from whatever she's going 0:02:46.360 --> 0:02:48.440 through and finds her way back to her job because 0:02:48.480 --> 0:02:49.840 that's her job. I know they've got a lot of 0:02:49.840 --> 0:02:53.000 feelings filling ins for her, but that's still her job 0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:56.040 and we'd like to see her come back to her job. Secondly, 0:02:56.080 --> 0:02:58.200 with all the drama that's going on in the social 0:02:58.200 --> 0:03:00.520 media right now, with the whole day Shape thing and 0:03:00.560 --> 0:03:04.480 all the back last let's start there. I UM was 0:03:04.520 --> 0:03:07.720 invited by Don Lemmons producers as well as Don Lemmon 0:03:07.800 --> 0:03:11.440 so was. I was invited by the Heel which was 0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:14.040 the host. Her name was Pamela Brown. They invited me 0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:16.200 to come on. I didn't. I didn't go seeking to 0:03:16.200 --> 0:03:19.200 speak about this. I made a video last Saturday when 0:03:19.200 --> 0:03:21.919 I was in Atlanta, just talking about how I felt 0:03:21.960 --> 0:03:24.640 as a comedian, as a black person, and as a 0:03:24.639 --> 0:03:28.320 transgender person, on my issues and my views about it. 0:03:28.400 --> 0:03:30.119 Because I see the humor and a lot of things. 0:03:30.160 --> 0:03:32.200 I'm sorry that some of you all don't, but I 0:03:32.240 --> 0:03:34.720 heard Dave's message up under all of that as well. 0:03:35.320 --> 0:03:37.120 And for you all not to agree with me, that 0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:40.560 is absolutely fine. I'm not like the younger young lady. 0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:43.680 I'm not going to do anything to harm myself. I'm 0:03:43.680 --> 0:03:45.640 gonna say that one more time. I'm not going to 0:03:45.720 --> 0:03:50.040 do anything to harm myself. Did you catch that? Okay, 0:03:50.040 --> 0:03:52.720 I'm just making sure that y'all heard what I see, 0:03:52.760 --> 0:03:54.480 because ain't shipped wrong with me. I just looked like 0:03:54.560 --> 0:03:56.680 this and this is laughing learn and I'm not gonna 0:03:56.680 --> 0:03:59.680 play with you at all. But Dave Chappelle is a 0:03:59.720 --> 0:04:02.720 coming in. He was doing his job. Some of us 0:04:02.760 --> 0:04:04.680 need to really need to get our pennies out of 0:04:04.680 --> 0:04:08.320 a bunch. And for those employees and Netflix, I understand 0:04:08.320 --> 0:04:10.680 you're standing to your guns, but you also understand that 0:04:10.720 --> 0:04:13.760 when you do things, there are constant questions, consequences, and 0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:18.160 repercussions to your actions. So some things that you invite 0:04:18.200 --> 0:04:19.880 you have to be ready to do with it because 0:04:19.920 --> 0:04:22.279 I don't know, I don't know what you're looking for. 0:04:22.440 --> 0:04:24.680 But I heard the humanistic side of that story and 0:04:24.839 --> 0:04:28.119 understand that y'all that what I heard. Maybe I'm different 0:04:28.160 --> 0:04:29.960 from other people, but what I heard was a man 0:04:30.040 --> 0:04:33.800 who has evolved because if you look at the jokes 0:04:33.880 --> 0:04:35.920 that he used to say about the trans community as 0:04:35.920 --> 0:04:39.960 opposed to now. Because because he was introduced to somebody 0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:42.719 that was transgender that was cool enough to have a 0:04:42.760 --> 0:04:46.040 conversation with, this person became his friend and they had 0:04:46.040 --> 0:04:48.919 a conversation, which made it easier. So when he meets 0:04:48.920 --> 0:04:52.000 the next group of trans people or people that's different 0:04:52.040 --> 0:04:54.480 from his lifestyle, that's something that he may never encounter. 0:04:55.279 --> 0:04:58.119 What definitely did to me in my in my eyes, 0:04:58.240 --> 0:05:00.360 was made it easier for him to say, you know what, 0:05:00.520 --> 0:05:02.760 I met somebody that was like you. They were cool. 0:05:03.040 --> 0:05:04.800 Let me, give you a chance to have a conversation 0:05:04.800 --> 0:05:06.800 with you, maybe you will be just as cool as 0:05:06.839 --> 0:05:08.760 the last one I met. But for all of this, 0:05:08.880 --> 0:05:11.320 this gruntled and pushed back to y'all getting that ain't 0:05:11.360 --> 0:05:13.919 what it is Kendall had. I had to grow on Kindle. 0:05:14.120 --> 0:05:16.440 I didn't force me on Kendall. Kendall had an option 0:05:16.520 --> 0:05:18.279 whether he wanted to stay or leave. But I grew 0:05:18.279 --> 0:05:21.480 on that nigga, So he ain't going nowhere. I'm like, 0:05:21.839 --> 0:05:24.320 I'm like a roach. I'm just gonna keep coming back. 0:05:25.520 --> 0:05:28.160 But Daphne, if you listen to the story that they've 0:05:28.200 --> 0:05:31.800 talked about, Dave talked about the strength that his friend 0:05:31.880 --> 0:05:35.479 Daphne had because as a comic, I've bombed on stage before. 0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:39.119 What audience just did not like me? And you should 0:05:39.160 --> 0:05:41.040 saw me talking out the room with my tail between 0:05:41.040 --> 0:05:44.000 my legs and my head duck low. Daphne stayed. Daphne 0:05:44.040 --> 0:05:46.600 stayed and set in it and set through it. And 0:05:46.720 --> 0:05:48.880 that to me is a d n A that everybody 0:05:48.920 --> 0:05:51.839 does not have, because that, to me was strength and 0:05:52.040 --> 0:05:55.320 power and a surety. And the only way we're ever 0:05:55.360 --> 0:05:58.280 going to fix this between us and them, the trans 0:05:58.360 --> 0:06:01.599 community and the gay community. In the straight community is 0:06:02.080 --> 0:06:05.800 understanding and acceptance, but the part of the understanding has 0:06:05.839 --> 0:06:08.520 to come from the gay community, and the acceptance has 0:06:08.520 --> 0:06:10.520 to come from the trans community. I see it what 0:06:10.560 --> 0:06:13.600 I said, because the six communities, that's what y'all say. 0:06:13.640 --> 0:06:16.599 The straight community, they're ready to receive it, not all 0:06:16.640 --> 0:06:18.880 of them, but the ones that are those are the 0:06:18.880 --> 0:06:21.000 ones that we need to focus on. Stop focusing on 0:06:21.040 --> 0:06:22.880 the ones that don't want to deal with it. They 0:06:22.920 --> 0:06:25.240 just don't want to deal with You cannot make everybody 0:06:25.320 --> 0:06:27.960 like what you like, even if you straight or gay, 0:06:28.040 --> 0:06:30.320 or black or white. Everybody just don't like what you like. 0:06:30.839 --> 0:06:33.520 And that is fine, But we keep pushing for something else. 0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:36.360 We're gonna push ourselves right out the door. Oh, it's 0:06:36.400 --> 0:06:38.560 a conversation to be had, and we're gonna talk about it. 0:06:38.680 --> 0:06:40.960 And they're planning on doing a walkout on Wednesday with 0:06:41.080 --> 0:06:44.280 just the and the black trans man. There's a black 0:06:44.320 --> 0:06:48.160 trans man that was fired for leaking information, leaking numbers 0:06:47.960 --> 0:06:50.200 at Netflix. This is a public record. I'm not telling 0:06:50.200 --> 0:06:53.120 you something I heard. I read this. He leaked. He 0:06:53.839 --> 0:06:56.560 identifies as a trans man. He got the job as 0:06:56.560 --> 0:07:00.320 a black transman. They hired him hear me. Listen, listened 0:07:00.360 --> 0:07:04.159 to this story. They hired him as a black trans man, 0:07:04.480 --> 0:07:07.120 but and but he he breached the contract and he 0:07:07.120 --> 0:07:09.760 didn't do his job. So now they fired him and 0:07:09.800 --> 0:07:13.200 he's pregnant. See it's it identifies as a man, but 0:07:13.280 --> 0:07:16.600 he's tech biologically here woman, but he's pregnant. You broke 0:07:16.640 --> 0:07:19.080 the contract, and now you're screaming that they fired you 0:07:19.120 --> 0:07:22.000 because they were racist and they were sexist. They hired 0:07:22.040 --> 0:07:24.080 you for what you look like. They're firing you for 0:07:24.120 --> 0:07:27.080 not doing your job. Somebody needs to take accountability, and 0:07:27.080 --> 0:07:30.040 it's you. It's you. It's you because that was a 0:07:30.120 --> 0:07:32.640 mistake that you made. The cancel culture has just got 0:07:32.640 --> 0:07:35.800 their ass handed to him because what Dave Chappelle actually 0:07:35.840 --> 0:07:40.240 did was stopped all this cancel culture bullshit by Netflix 0:07:40.280 --> 0:07:43.120 standing with him. Them giants standing with him said we're 0:07:43.120 --> 0:07:46.040 not pulling it. That opened the door and let the 0:07:46.080 --> 0:07:48.440 cancel culture. No, we're not having this ship no more. 0:07:48.720 --> 0:07:51.280 Y'all need some therapy. The cancer culture is spoiled. They 0:07:51.280 --> 0:07:54.080 wanted too easy, because if y'all had to carry encyclopedias 0:07:54.120 --> 0:07:55.840 like we did back in the day, you wouldn't even 0:07:55.880 --> 0:07:57.720 take the time to do all this research, and Google 0:07:57.800 --> 0:08:00.280 keep telling you. Google is sending y'all all off like 0:08:00.360 --> 0:08:03.480 prune juice. Google is sending y'all off like prune juice, 0:08:03.480 --> 0:08:06.200 sends me off. Hit me when I tell you Google 0:08:06.240 --> 0:08:08.560 makes you lazy, and Google be laying because Google said 0:08:08.560 --> 0:08:11.920 I'm worth seven hundred thousand. Somebody got six hundred thousand 0:08:11.960 --> 0:08:15.040 dollars of my money. I want to know who got me, 0:08:15.160 --> 0:08:17.280 kenn you got my money, Kendall got my money. Give 0:08:17.320 --> 0:08:19.200 me my money. Kill because they say I'm worth seven 0:08:19.240 --> 0:08:21.400 hundred thousand, and I just looked at my account and 0:08:21.400 --> 0:08:23.520 they know seven hundred thousands not in my account, not 0:08:23.640 --> 0:08:27.480 in Man, let me go on with some flame maths, 0:08:27.520 --> 0:08:29.360 and come on here, we're gonna talk about this today. 0:08:29.400 --> 0:08:31.840 Come on there, Cassie, come on, come out, come out. 0:08:32.400 --> 0:08:35.160 I don't understand what is going on in our society 0:08:35.240 --> 0:08:37.520 right now, where people just going back and forth, everybody's 0:08:37.559 --> 0:08:42.400 angry with each other. It is ridiculous. It is utterly ridiculous. 0:08:42.600 --> 0:08:46.000 And y'all keep and and so let me tell you something. 0:08:46.040 --> 0:08:48.920 So many of trans organizations and who woo have reached 0:08:48.920 --> 0:08:50.800 out to me. I don't want to speak about that. 0:08:52.080 --> 0:08:54.440 I'm not here to fight. I don't want to push back. 0:08:54.480 --> 0:08:56.880 I'm not gonna argue with you because none of you 0:08:56.920 --> 0:09:00.800 all have asked me, not even before now with this jiversy, 0:09:00.840 --> 0:09:03.240 but even before flame, what do you want to do? What? 0:09:03.360 --> 0:09:04.640 I Let me tell you what I want to do. 0:09:04.720 --> 0:09:08.319 I want to be an entertainer, comedian, host m C 0:09:08.640 --> 0:09:12.600 and Somebody's daddy. I'm planning on hosting the Oscar's, Grammy's, Emmy's, 0:09:12.640 --> 0:09:16.880 Tony's Aviens, Gavien's Glad Awards, all of But I never 0:09:16.960 --> 0:09:20.720 said or aspired to be the spokesperson for any LGBT 0:09:20.920 --> 0:09:23.600 or trans community. When there is a fight that I 0:09:23.720 --> 0:09:25.559 think that is near and dear to my heart, I'm 0:09:25.559 --> 0:09:27.880 gonna be on the battlefield, hold in my flag waving 0:09:28.240 --> 0:09:30.840 waving up a time. But if it's not and it's 0:09:30.880 --> 0:09:34.960 unimportant to me personally, I'm not getting involved in that. 0:09:34.960 --> 0:09:37.520 That's never something that I wanted to be. You keep 0:09:37.800 --> 0:09:40.080 you cannot think that every time somebody who's part of 0:09:40.120 --> 0:09:42.960 a community gets a little lamb or a little shane, 0:09:43.320 --> 0:09:45.680 that that's naturally what they're supposed to do. I'm not 0:09:45.720 --> 0:09:49.880 responsible for speaking for anyone but myself. When I speak, 0:09:49.880 --> 0:09:52.320 and my children. It's not my job to raise you 0:09:52.400 --> 0:09:55.360 or your kids. That is not my job. So I 0:09:55.400 --> 0:09:57.480 don't even know what you all are looking for. I 0:09:57.600 --> 0:09:59.840 never wanted to do that, and I'm not being irresponsible. 0:09:59.880 --> 0:10:02.400 I in fact, I think I'm being very responsible for 0:10:02.520 --> 0:10:06.239 not saying that I am the spokesperson for the community, 0:10:06.320 --> 0:10:08.400 because that's not a job that I ever wanted. They 0:10:08.440 --> 0:10:11.280 have girls out here that want those jobs, that are 0:10:11.320 --> 0:10:14.040 doing those jobs. They have Soria Saint Clair in in 0:10:14.240 --> 0:10:18.559 New Orleans. They have Valerie Spencer right here in California. 0:10:18.800 --> 0:10:23.000 They have um, um who else. I always mentioned Valerie 0:10:23.000 --> 0:10:27.560 Spencer sa Tatiana Molten in Chicago. I don't want that job. 0:10:27.640 --> 0:10:29.760 They have girls that can go to the table, that 0:10:29.800 --> 0:10:34.400 are intelligent, informed trans women all day every day that 0:10:34.880 --> 0:10:37.240 see the entire world. They don't see the world just 0:10:37.360 --> 0:10:39.880 from the trans experience. They see the world because they 0:10:39.920 --> 0:10:44.720 have been somebody's child and sister and brother at some 0:10:44.880 --> 0:10:47.760 point in time, so they see the whole world. So 0:10:47.800 --> 0:10:50.240 those are the ones that I always that I've given 0:10:50.280 --> 0:10:52.920 their names to see and then to have a town 0:10:52.960 --> 0:10:56.120 hall with, because they're fair and they're informed, and they 0:10:56.240 --> 0:10:58.920 come into the table with an open form, with open 0:10:58.960 --> 0:11:01.240 hands and say, hey, this is the conversation that we're 0:11:01.240 --> 0:11:04.439 going to have, not no argument, disgrunted men talking over 0:11:04.480 --> 0:11:09.000 people's heads, using terminology that no one's understands. So yeah, 0:11:09.080 --> 0:11:12.040 I'm sorry about that fame. They had a problem with you, 0:11:12.120 --> 0:11:13.720 and when they still have a problem with me, they 0:11:13.720 --> 0:11:15.720 will always have a problem with me because I danced 0:11:15.760 --> 0:11:18.040 to my beat. I don't dance to anyone else's beat, 0:11:18.360 --> 0:11:20.240 and that is what I preach on my platform. If 0:11:20.280 --> 0:11:22.400 you're dancing to your own beat, you ain't got to 0:11:22.400 --> 0:11:24.520 worry about what no other person is dancing to because 0:11:24.559 --> 0:11:26.880 you can't hear that beat anyway. And that ain't my 0:11:26.960 --> 0:11:30.960 calling and it's not a calling that I want, uh, 0:11:31.000 --> 0:11:33.040 And that's what people should do. Put your head on 0:11:33.080 --> 0:11:35.640 a swivel and follow the world. And I'm not bashing 0:11:35.679 --> 0:11:38.280 anybody else. They have other girls out here that speaking 0:11:38.320 --> 0:11:40.760 for the community and speaking on behalf of the community. 0:11:41.040 --> 0:11:44.360 I don't always agree with everything that they say, but 0:11:44.400 --> 0:11:47.920 that's not for me. That's that that that's the that's 0:11:47.920 --> 0:11:51.119 their arena. My arena is the comedy arena and entertainment, 0:11:51.760 --> 0:11:55.400 and but this arena happens to be personal because I'm black, 0:11:56.000 --> 0:11:59.280 I'm trans and I'm a comic, so I fit in 0:11:59.360 --> 0:12:03.559 all three of these criterias, and all that y'all doing 0:12:03.760 --> 0:12:06.800 is just the hypocrisy of it all. Because I heard 0:12:06.880 --> 0:12:09.880 Dave Chappelle speak of his friend, not that because she 0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:14.280 was white, not because she was transgender, not even because 0:12:14.320 --> 0:12:17.080 she was a comic, but she became his friend, and 0:12:17.120 --> 0:12:20.439 the respect was He always refers to Daphane, May she 0:12:20.520 --> 0:12:25.600 rest in peace as she and as his friend. And 0:12:25.640 --> 0:12:28.560 the joke, the joke about her bombing for forty five minutes, 0:12:29.080 --> 0:12:31.480 that was funny. Even though she didn't she bombed for 0:12:31.480 --> 0:12:34.880 forty five minutes, he still accepted her, He still embraced her. 0:12:34.920 --> 0:12:37.000 I know way less of a man and less of 0:12:37.040 --> 0:12:39.200 a comics that if you don't prove yourself the first 0:12:39.240 --> 0:12:42.439 time they have, they will discard you and never work 0:12:42.520 --> 0:12:45.640 with you again until you get it together. He allowed 0:12:45.640 --> 0:12:48.080 her the opportunity to say, every time I come to 0:12:48.120 --> 0:12:51.520 the Bay Area, you're gonna open for me. Y'all missed 0:12:51.559 --> 0:12:56.920 all of that. Y'all missed all of that, so busy, 0:12:56.960 --> 0:12:59.040 only want to hear what you want to hear. He 0:12:59.120 --> 0:13:03.559 destroyed that you community talking about space Jews. He annihilated 0:13:03.600 --> 0:13:08.559 the Caucasian community funnily, funnily, and nobody is in the uproar, 0:13:08.600 --> 0:13:10.800 and nobody has their pennies in a bunch but us. 0:13:11.800 --> 0:13:14.719 He talked about black folks. He nigga, nigga, nigga every 0:13:14.800 --> 0:13:18.480 chance he got, and we laughed. I'm telling you right now, 0:13:18.720 --> 0:13:22.440 it is. It is ridiculous, and it is scary to 0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:25.640 think that we are in a place to where we 0:13:25.679 --> 0:13:28.640 can't even come to a boardroom table and have grown 0:13:28.720 --> 0:13:32.000 up conversation to make some resolve to some real issues 0:13:32.080 --> 0:13:34.760 that's happening here in this country. But thank you Dave 0:13:34.880 --> 0:13:39.040 Chappelle for opening up the the the door to finally 0:13:39.160 --> 0:13:42.200 cancel the cancel culture because they have some playing We're 0:13:42.200 --> 0:13:44.760 gonna cancel you. You can't. I ain't even got there yet. 0:13:46.960 --> 0:13:49.160 That only works if you're there. I ain't got there yet. 0:13:49.320 --> 0:13:52.040 He also said, when her daughter is old enough, exactly, 0:13:52.200 --> 0:13:55.160 he made a trust fund for her daughter. He looking, 0:13:55.440 --> 0:14:00.439 he did everything perfectly to me as a friend at something. 0:14:00.440 --> 0:14:02.880 And this young lady, I don't know what her issues was. 0:14:03.160 --> 0:14:05.360 I don't want you know. And I said on there 0:14:05.400 --> 0:14:07.640 that she was bullied by the trans community, and she was, 0:14:08.280 --> 0:14:09.920 but I don't even want to think that that's what's 0:14:09.960 --> 0:14:12.360 what it was that made her off herself. Now, because 0:14:12.559 --> 0:14:15.160 when when when I listened to it, because I've watched 0:14:15.160 --> 0:14:17.400 the special four times, I was trying to see what 0:14:17.440 --> 0:14:20.040 I was missing. But when he said that she sat 0:14:20.120 --> 0:14:22.720 through at the bombing on stage for forty five minutes 0:14:22.760 --> 0:14:25.960 on that plateau, and she stayed the whole time and 0:14:26.000 --> 0:14:29.720 then hung out with them, her constitution was strong. Whatever 0:14:29.760 --> 0:14:31.720 else she had going on, I don't know, but her 0:14:31.800 --> 0:14:36.000 DNA was strong. But now the victims have turned into 0:14:36.000 --> 0:14:37.680 the bullies. And if you don't believe that, I can 0:14:37.680 --> 0:14:39.960 show you the screenshots whether you all have threatened me 0:14:40.400 --> 0:14:43.600 at my life and you all have threatened my children's lives. 0:14:44.400 --> 0:14:47.600 But I promise you I'm not what you think. I'm 0:14:47.640 --> 0:14:50.240 not like that. That ain't my constitution at my DNA, 0:14:50.560 --> 0:14:52.960 because not only do I know Pookie ray d them, 0:14:53.080 --> 0:14:55.600 I used to beat him niggas and I slept with 0:14:55.640 --> 0:14:57.760 all of them too. No, but I agree with you. 0:14:57.960 --> 0:15:00.720 I agree with you on everything about a Chappelle. He 0:15:00.760 --> 0:15:03.000 brought us to the table. Now the whole world is 0:15:03.040 --> 0:15:06.120 having a conversation that needs to be had. You know, 0:15:07.000 --> 0:15:10.920 you know what what what? What hurts Cassie is that 0:15:11.440 --> 0:15:13.840 we can't come to a common ground to try to 0:15:13.880 --> 0:15:17.880 fix this. It's not for me, you know, they're saying, well, 0:15:17.920 --> 0:15:20.680 flame you speaking that. They're asking me my opinion because 0:15:20.680 --> 0:15:23.240 I'm a comedian. They're not asking me my opinion because 0:15:23.280 --> 0:15:26.680 I'm transgender. They're asking me my companion because I am 0:15:26.720 --> 0:15:31.080 a comedian and transgender. Because it's any other transgender women 0:15:31.120 --> 0:15:34.320 out here that could speak the language that the trans 0:15:34.360 --> 0:15:37.720 community wants them to speak, and we'll do it happily. 0:15:38.440 --> 0:15:41.160 That ain't who I am. You will never change me. 0:15:41.800 --> 0:15:44.400 I live my life for me and my children. And 0:15:44.440 --> 0:15:46.120 you said what needed to be said. I don't think 0:15:46.120 --> 0:15:48.280 you need to say anything else. I mean, as long 0:15:48.320 --> 0:15:50.680 as they're inviting you to the table, you're speaking for 0:15:50.800 --> 0:15:53.520 your life and for your experiences. You're not speaking for 0:15:53.560 --> 0:15:56.800 the whole community. You can't speak. You can't live my truth, 0:15:56.840 --> 0:15:58.880 and I can't live your truth and have to live 0:15:58.880 --> 0:16:03.960 our own truth. The scariest party is they're not even 0:16:04.000 --> 0:16:06.760 angry at that because I'm speaking. They're angry because they're 0:16:06.800 --> 0:16:09.440 not speaking. That's what they're mad about, because it's me, 0:16:10.920 --> 0:16:14.600 Because it's me. Just stop being angry and say whatever 0:16:14.840 --> 0:16:18.800 its the same day. Need to quit being angry and 0:16:18.880 --> 0:16:21.360 just speak when they have a chance, and just be 0:16:21.480 --> 0:16:23.560 honored at the fact that you're even having a chance 0:16:23.600 --> 0:16:25.720 to speak, and just stop being angry. Can we all 0:16:25.720 --> 0:16:27.560 just get along at the end of the day, It's 0:16:27.600 --> 0:16:31.240 like we're human. Come on, Rodney, can we all just 0:16:31.280 --> 0:16:36.840 get along it We're human. I want to give a 0:16:36.840 --> 0:16:41.400 shout out to UH Secretary of State UM Colin Powell. 0:16:41.840 --> 0:16:44.760 He passed away. Uh, it's so many different stories. He 0:16:44.800 --> 0:16:47.920 did have underlying issues, but they said it was COVID 0:16:48.000 --> 0:16:50.800 related issues. They didn't say that he had COVID. They 0:16:50.840 --> 0:16:55.280 said was COVID related issues. But he was. He was 0:16:55.360 --> 0:17:01.360 double vaccinated. So I don't know. He eight eighty four 0:17:01.440 --> 0:17:05.240 years old. Yes, he lived a great life and uh 0:17:05.320 --> 0:17:07.840 he was. He was very accomplished in his life. He 0:17:07.920 --> 0:17:11.040 was a Republican, but he was very accomplished. I think 0:17:11.080 --> 0:17:13.600 he didn't he monch with King and he was in 0:17:13.680 --> 0:17:18.119 part of all of that era and everything. I'm not positive, 0:17:18.200 --> 0:17:20.479 but I think so. I think. And he will be missed, yes, 0:17:20.520 --> 0:17:22.359 T t J. And he will be missed because he 0:17:22.440 --> 0:17:24.640 was a He was a voice for our community as well, 0:17:24.760 --> 0:17:28.560 so yep, but thank you for enjoying keeping me in, 0:17:28.680 --> 0:17:32.959 I mean, including me in the conversation. Of course, welcome 0:17:34.080 --> 0:17:37.320 him and UH con the Lisa Rice would probably be 0:17:37.359 --> 0:17:41.720 the only true Republicans that I would evo it out 0:17:41.720 --> 0:17:47.159 of my UM party far. But again, both sides of 0:17:47.240 --> 0:17:50.439 the I loved him and respected him. It's because he 0:17:50.480 --> 0:17:55.560 didn't change his dialogue. He was hypo critical of Trump. 0:17:55.880 --> 0:18:02.080 He came out and reported bringing UH made a statement 0:18:02.119 --> 0:18:05.479 and he said that I'm going with with Paul. Uh. 0:18:06.119 --> 0:18:09.199 Paul has already talked to me. He was respected for 0:18:09.280 --> 0:18:12.560 standing in his own truth. So the people who can't 0:18:12.560 --> 0:18:17.760 respect you for standing in your own truth, I have 0:18:17.920 --> 0:18:23.080 to say, shame on those folks. Shame on those folks. Yeah, 0:18:23.200 --> 0:18:26.400 he Dan hit it on the head, on the head 0:18:26.440 --> 0:18:28.760 of when she said Mr Powell stood in his truth. 0:18:29.040 --> 0:18:30.960 You stand in your truth. And that's the issue that 0:18:31.000 --> 0:18:33.240 they have. And Dan hit it on the head I'm 0:18:33.240 --> 0:18:35.800 sitting on I'm sitting on my truth and my head 0:18:35.920 --> 0:18:42.000 right now. Though. See, and this is what I'm saying, 0:18:42.320 --> 0:18:47.040 this is how Dave came. Dave came in it fun. Yes, 0:18:47.160 --> 0:18:50.440 the delivery was bold, but then when you close it off, 0:18:50.440 --> 0:18:52.679 with a funny or with a joke over a punchline. 0:18:52.960 --> 0:18:55.760 It just makes it easier for people to receive, or 0:18:55.840 --> 0:18:58.359 it should make it easier for people to receive. But 0:18:58.440 --> 0:19:01.760 if you're already angry, you won't receive nothing but anger 0:19:01.800 --> 0:19:07.480 and bitterness because you came in angry ysolutely. Yeah, absolutely, 0:19:08.119 --> 0:19:12.200 and and and you know what, It's funny because even 0:19:13.040 --> 0:19:16.760 even with some of the people pointing their fingers at you, 0:19:16.760 --> 0:19:23.919 you have still circulated like to be an authority or speak, 0:19:24.240 --> 0:19:28.640 but they thought out you and I'm not. You know, 0:19:28.720 --> 0:19:32.080 it just sounds like a bad, mean girls clip, you 0:19:32.119 --> 0:19:35.800 know what I mean. And it just that makes me 0:19:35.840 --> 0:19:41.000 sad because now if they come to the table, they're 0:19:41.040 --> 0:19:43.919 not going to even have for me, a biological woman. 0:19:44.200 --> 0:19:46.560 And here I was happy because I thought they were 0:19:46.600 --> 0:19:49.160 calling me six because I thought they're calling me there, 0:19:50.280 --> 0:19:54.080 and until Cassie told me not call me that they're not. 0:19:54.240 --> 0:19:57.439 They're not calling I'm like, what the hell going on 0:19:57.480 --> 0:20:01.359 around here? You know? So, I just every fight's not 0:20:01.480 --> 0:20:08.240 gonna band for your personalized agenda. You should and expect 0:20:08.280 --> 0:20:12.919 that because you don't send for everybody else's agenda. But 0:20:13.080 --> 0:20:18.359 you should have skills in the heart of negotiations and compromise, 0:20:19.080 --> 0:20:22.119 but I don't know what's going on. And and and 0:20:22.160 --> 0:20:25.159 with the employees doing the walk out, I understand standing 0:20:25.240 --> 0:20:29.000 for something. But to the trans, to the black trans 0:20:29.080 --> 0:20:32.000 man that they fired because he breached the contract, or 0:20:32.040 --> 0:20:34.960 he he released some documents that he wasn't supposed to, 0:20:35.240 --> 0:20:38.080 you can't have it those ways. You can't play the 0:20:38.080 --> 0:20:41.720 they hired you black and trans. But and now you're pregnant. 0:20:41.920 --> 0:20:44.000 But you want to stand for something, and I appreciate that. 0:20:44.040 --> 0:20:46.280 I applaud that almost, but then you have to think 0:20:46.320 --> 0:20:49.320 about you. You are pregnant with your first child, and 0:20:49.400 --> 0:20:52.960 now you lost this job, and now you want to 0:20:53.000 --> 0:20:55.720 screen races and trans. When they hired you just on 0:20:55.880 --> 0:20:58.280 face value, on how you look and on your qualifications, 0:20:58.680 --> 0:21:01.120 you breached the contract, which means you broke the rule. 0:21:01.119 --> 0:21:03.600 When you don't follow the rules, there are consequences and 0:21:03.640 --> 0:21:06.560 repercussions to your act. They fired your ass, that's what 0:21:06.720 --> 0:21:10.400 the consequences. Because you can't scream racist or sexist. Now 0:21:10.640 --> 0:21:13.240 you can't know. You can't, no, no, not at all. 0:21:13.960 --> 0:21:17.639 That's like trying to buy some illegal drugs and and 0:21:18.400 --> 0:21:21.520 get it and getting cheated and saying you know. Wait 0:21:21.520 --> 0:21:22.960 a minute, but you didn't give it all of me. 0:21:23.800 --> 0:21:26.919 You know what I mean. The contract was breached. You 0:21:26.960 --> 0:21:30.480 know what I mean. If someone in this in this 0:21:30.880 --> 0:21:37.239 government started leaking employees information, that would be grounds for 0:21:37.280 --> 0:21:40.680 a suit for that person. Absolutely, you know what I mean. 0:21:41.600 --> 0:21:45.280 I don't know, but he'll mess finish and I'm sorry, No, finish, 0:21:45.320 --> 0:21:50.680 I'm sorry, Hill mess around and they'll counter suits him. 0:21:50.720 --> 0:21:54.840 And they've got more money than him. Don't keep confusing 0:21:54.960 --> 0:21:59.920 all the issues to try to bank on what you're 0:22:00.280 --> 0:22:05.080 your own personal agenda. And I've been to the Netflix offices. 0:22:05.600 --> 0:22:07.960
