Speaker 1: mama's baby, daddy's swallowing, catching and throwing it out, all
Speaker 1: of that. So you have to listen to the conversation. Well,
Speaker 1: I had to let the lady so I don't swallow.
Speaker 1: That's babysitting. I don't babysit. I don't watch Hildre I
Speaker 1: don't I got my own keys. I don't babysit. If
Speaker 1: y'all want to know the explanation and go listen to
Speaker 1: the go listen to the YouTube, Go to my Heart
Speaker 1: under the Black Pact Network, or wherever you listen to
Speaker 1: your podcast at what we're going along with Hogan because
Speaker 1: in the news this week has been just just you
Speaker 1: know what bothers me the most. I'm just gonna hit
Speaker 1: because it's going to be the first thing I want
Speaker 1: to talk about. Everybody who knows looting, all my framemts
Speaker 1: and all the listeners know that I loved me some
Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi. Y'all know I loved me some Nancy Pelosi,
Speaker 1: and I thought it was so sad saying and so
Speaker 1: tragic that her personal residence was invading. I'm telling you
Speaker 1: you please spare attention to the timing of the things
Speaker 1: that happened. This lady is second in command to run
Speaker 1: this country behind Comla Harris, who is the vice president,
Speaker 1: and and somebody got to her personal residence. That it's
Speaker 1: very scary. And thank god that Paul, who's eighty two
Speaker 1: years old, were praying for him too. Was was agile
Speaker 1: and was able to fight off this terrorists that broke
Speaker 1: in her home with a conspiracy theory because and now
Speaker 1: that you're not gonna try to push and say, oh,
Speaker 1: he was mentally unbalanced. Someone's wrong with him. He asked
Speaker 1: were as Nancy three or four times on different occasions.
Speaker 1: There was nothing wrong with him. He knew exactly what
Speaker 1: he had to do. He was trying to kill Paul Felosi,
Speaker 1: but Paul was strong enough to fight him off. So
Speaker 1: pressed to Paul, and he beat that man and all
Speaker 1: that he able to hammer, uh, fractured his skull and everything.
Speaker 1: It's just it's and now the Republicans are saying that, um,
Speaker 1: it was whatever, the conspiracy, it's a conspiracy theory, whatever,
Speaker 1: and it came up with some outlandish bs and it's
Speaker 1: ridiculous when we are living in a crazy time, which
Speaker 1: is why we need to get I s is to
Speaker 1: the pole or mail in your mail in balance so
Speaker 1: y'all can vote. I thought it was saying, lord, I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: but it was about Nancy. Those girl was ready going
Speaker 1: to in fight the man. No. I mean, in general,
Speaker 1: it's just unacceptable that that happened. But I think that
Speaker 1: because Trump became president, he really just opened up a
Speaker 1: can of worms of violence that you know, a lot
Speaker 1: of these crazy you know, white folks feel emboldened to
Speaker 1: do these things. And I'm glad that Paul Pelosi is okay,
Speaker 1: But I can't imagine you being attacked in your home, Like,
Speaker 1: how would you ever ever feel safe there? Again, that
Speaker 1: somebody broke into your residence and he's in his eighties, Like,
Speaker 1: he's not, you know, young, So for you to attack
Speaker 1: this old man based on whatever conspiracy theories you have
Speaker 1: concoct in your head about the Democrats, it's crazy. And
Speaker 1: he was really looking for Nancy, he was really trying
Speaker 1: to harm her. Yeah, So whist was out on Nancy
Speaker 1: since January six. Nagent's gonna hear as that woman, Nancy
Speaker 1: is a woman of a certain age. She's not even
Speaker 1: a young woman, y'all doing all this and making all
Speaker 1: this ub just for power. But these Republicans are playing
Speaker 1: chess and that checkers, and I wish the Democrats get
Speaker 1: on board. Well I saw too that apparently since Trump,
Speaker 1: she's received like the most death threats and threats of
Speaker 1: violence against her than any other political UM figure in
Speaker 1: d C. She's gotten the most of everything um and
Speaker 1: partly it's because of you know, Trump and what they've
Speaker 1: said about her and everything else. So it's just it's
Speaker 1: it's crazy that the level of promoting violence like this
Speaker 1: is supposed to be the political space, but everything is
Speaker 1: just turning into violence. Case in point in January six,
Speaker 1: it's it's it's ridiculous, and I'm like, my heart just
Speaker 1: goes out to Paul Pelosi, the fact that he got
Speaker 1: hit in the head with a hammer and has a
Speaker 1: fractured skull behind some lunatic. I also want to say,
Speaker 1: where's where the hell was their security? But anyway, well,
Speaker 1: hopefully after this incident, thank god nobody was killed, and
Speaker 1: even though Paul has been in critical condition and I
Speaker 1: see you for a couple of days, uh, hopefully it
Speaker 1: will beef up the security around that speak of the house.
Speaker 1: So security should people all the time, but unfortunately, see
Speaker 1: it doesn't. I don't think she gets security like that.
Speaker 1: I think she has to come out of her own
Speaker 1: pocket to pay for security. It's not like the president
Speaker 1: of the vice president where taxpayer dollars pay for secret service.
Speaker 1: I could be wrong, but I don't think that she
Speaker 1: gets that. So our president's nephew, so I mean governor's nephew,
Speaker 1: So I think he would chip in and make sure
Speaker 1: that she's safe because we got the best governor and
Speaker 1: state in the country. He is the auntie. That's his auntie.
Speaker 1: Yes in need. Yeah, it's tragic lowing. And I'm telling
Speaker 1: you all these because of a dog was because of
Speaker 1: this spootionce that Trump did. And now you see on
Speaker 1: the news today it comes out to say that the
Speaker 1: person who was helping to push the conspiracy theory on
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court was Clarence Thomas. Yo. I'm sick of him,
Speaker 1: I really am. I'm sick of him. I'm sick of
Speaker 1: his wife. Um, I can't say that. I can't say
Speaker 1: what I'm thinking because I can't wish to uh, you know,
Speaker 1: bad on people, but uh Clarence Thomas is probably the
Speaker 1: most problematic black person, or one of the most problematic
Speaker 1: black persons that we've seen in a long time. And
Speaker 1: I know he's trying to you know, he's against it
Speaker 1: from the action. He tried to say that his wife
Speaker 1: wasn't involved in the whole election fraudence, the election steal
Speaker 1: that Trump tries to promote, and she was. He initially
Speaker 1: tried to block Lindsay Graham for from testifying, but you know,
Speaker 1: I got a tap on his shoulder and now all
Speaker 1: of a sudden he said he wasn't involved. I can't
Speaker 1: stand Clarence Thomas. I really can't. He also said that
Speaker 1: him and his wife never discussed politics. They left those
Speaker 1: in the in the ballrooms. They never brought it to
Speaker 1: the being room. He would know what he brought to
Speaker 1: the being room, because I don't think he's been in
Speaker 1: the being room with him. I e a black woman
Speaker 1: blue the whistle, one of many, many many years ago.
Speaker 1: What was her name, lorn Anita Hill, and we didn't
Speaker 1: believe her. They wanted to say that she was this
Speaker 1: and she was there. Believe They tried to create this
Speaker 1: at every level, and the trooper always comes out I
Speaker 1: don't even understand why he's still sitting on the Supreme Court.
Speaker 1: Shoot well, I mean a similar situation happened with get
Speaker 1: Brett Kavanaugh, and that woman who came out against him
Speaker 1: was white, and that still didn't do anything. So we
Speaker 1: see what happens in this country. Two women exactly. It's ridiculous.
Speaker 1: And I guess color don't make a difference because we
Speaker 1: are doomed, and we are doomed, and we are doomed.
Speaker 1: And hear me when I tell y'all, if the Republicans win,
Speaker 1: they're going to be more embolding to be more nasty
Speaker 1: than they have been. If they lose, we go on
Speaker 1: the war. So all you were here times somebody got labels.
Speaker 1: I got rear bottom, I got Gucci. They bulls go
Speaker 1: through those. I just purchased my firearms. So I feel
Speaker 1: much better now. It's times that we're living in. On
Speaker 1: all honesty, it's crazy. And I was in Atlanta and
Speaker 1: we were in Georgia side we had they had a
Speaker 1: branch and I was talking to so many of the
Speaker 1: younger demographic. They were all gay, but they were younger demographic. Um,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, okay, y'all came to the pasget. We
Speaker 1: had a great time, y'all. You know, did you get
Speaker 1: your vote in? Did you cast your vote? Did you
Speaker 1: I don't even know if I'm gonna vote. I don't
Speaker 1: think it's gonna make no difference. When I heard it,
Speaker 1: I was so heartbroken, and I got I got angry
Speaker 1: about it, but not in a way too. I wanted
Speaker 1: to push back. I just was like, you know how
Speaker 1: important it really is for you guys to vote. You
Speaker 1: went through all this and got a new outfit to
Speaker 1: come to the pageant, You flew in from out of town,
Speaker 1: you got a hotel room. The vote is free, especially
Speaker 1: when you live here, because a lot of them lived there.
Speaker 1: But I was talking to the ones that from out
Speaker 1: of town too, I said, the voting is free. The
Speaker 1: difference will be freedom and the loss of democracy, because
Speaker 1: we don't have that much democracy on our side already
Speaker 1: in this country, and we if we lose a little
Speaker 1: bit that we got, I don't even know what kind
Speaker 1: of situation we gonna live. Me. These were between twenty
Speaker 1: and thirty year olds. They were very uninterested in voting.
Speaker 1: They were very uninterested in voting. It was very disheartening
Speaker 1: for me and to hear that's happening in Atlanta. You know,
Speaker 1: last week we talked about the article that I read
Speaker 1: about the student from more Our School of Medicine. Where
Speaker 1: they're especially in Atlanta and Georgia in general, they are
Speaker 1: really trying to suppress folks from voting. So and it's
Speaker 1: it goes back to what I've said before. If your
Speaker 1: vote wasn't so important, they wouldn't go through such links,
Speaker 1: so that way you wouldn't vote. So to hear that
Speaker 1: somebody saying that they don't want to vote because they
Speaker 1: feel like it doesn't matter, I really want to smack
Speaker 1: people like that because I'm just like, can you look
Speaker 1: at history? Can you do some research, like can you
Speaker 1: understand this concept of what not voting could potentially lead to?
Speaker 1: Because you're all the same people that want to complain
Speaker 1: when you get people elected that aren't going to actually
Speaker 1: do for your community like you need them to. But
Speaker 1: you the same person you don't want to vote, So
Speaker 1: what you're complaining for. It's chucial times. Lauring Hogan. He's
Speaker 1: your people, here's your young he's your young folks. He's
Speaker 1: your young folks, Lauring Hogan. I don't know where we're going.
Speaker 1: But Joe Biden made the speech to day talking about
Speaker 1: just the Yeah, and I loved that President Obama has
Speaker 1: jumped on the bandwagon, has finally hit the campaign trail
Speaker 1: to really push push, push, push push. I only hope
Speaker 1: and pray that it's not too late. I don't think
Speaker 1: it is. I think that this is he's doing it
Speaker 1: right on time. I'm gonna be honest, it's the last push.
Speaker 1: I think that he didn't earlier and it probably wouldn't
Speaker 1: have had maybe less than that. But because we're literally
Speaker 1: going some molection day and month, I think he shot. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it is God Jesus. Well else are we going, Lauren
Speaker 1: Hogan because you got to leave look you the top.
Speaker 1: We gotta talk about Dwayne Way and what's happening with
Speaker 1: him with his ex wife. Yeah. So the ex wife
Speaker 1: apparently came out and see it that she didn't want
Speaker 1: Zion to change. Zia is the way way transgender daughter,
Speaker 1: that she didn't want the desire to change her name
Speaker 1: AI and possibly her sex. I think because they were
Speaker 1: talking about listening her as female and to until she
Speaker 1: was eighteen, and possibly a sex change. You're not really
Speaker 1: hate to talk about that subject. But I know that
Speaker 1: that is Dwayne and that lady's child. But as they
Speaker 1: transiender person that's well passed eighteen. In stages of life,
Speaker 1: your mentality changes. So from eighteen to twenty four, I
Speaker 1: might want this, but from twenty five to thirty one,
Speaker 1: I might want something else. From thirty three or forty,
Speaker 1: I might want something entirely different. The difference is if
Speaker 1: I changed my man, I could change my mind back.
Speaker 1: If I changed my sex, I cannot. So I hope
Speaker 1: that they take the time to actually let this child
Speaker 1: live a little life, experience some things before making such
Speaker 1: a drastic, irreversible situation, because it is really common to
Speaker 1: light now that there are so many trans people who
Speaker 1: want to a revert back that's male and female, and
Speaker 1: science ain't caught up with that yet. Science ain't caught
Speaker 1: up with that once it's gone. Yeah, from what I
Speaker 1: read is that she wants to legally change her name.
Speaker 1: I didn't read. I didn't see anything about the sex
Speaker 1: change part. Well, that was the clickbait that they put
Speaker 1: on there because I listened to it that click. But
Speaker 1: usually if the parents is giving that child that much
Speaker 1: leeway and the child decides they want to do something
Speaker 1: else because it seems to be popular, they just roll
Speaker 1: with it. And I'm not saying that that is the
Speaker 1: situation in this case. I'm saying usually because I can't
Speaker 1: speak for nobody else's house, but that would be so
Speaker 1: messed up because that child may like something else down
Speaker 1: the lane, and if you take it away, you can't
Speaker 1: put it back. No. I hear you, and I agree
Speaker 1: with you. I think that I think we've do sentence before.
Speaker 1: I think that it's a beautiful a way that you know,
Speaker 1: Dwayne I supported his trials and has said that, you know,
Speaker 1: this is how my child identifies, this is what she
Speaker 1: wants to be called. So I'm gonna fully support her.
Speaker 1: I think that's beautiful that he's done that. Um, and
Speaker 1: this is laugh and learned. So let me take let
Speaker 1: me put the laughing out in the words a little boushi,
Speaker 1: don't cut us, dick off mine, don't credits dick off
Speaker 1: my girl saying that that was my god. You know
Speaker 1: that Boothy does it for me. I've read that. Um.
Speaker 1: You know, dwayne ex wife is basically trying to say that,
Speaker 1: you know, the name changes for them to profit off
Speaker 1: of money and deals with Disney and those sort of things.
Speaker 1: We don't know if that's I don't know. I don't
Speaker 1: know what the circumstances are. I just read what I
Speaker 1: read online. But I think that is good that you're supporting,
Speaker 1: you know, your child, and if I get what you're
Speaker 1: saying in terms of not changing the name officially, wait
Speaker 1: until she's eighteen. But um, I don't know. I think
Speaker 1: it's kind of a catch twenty two situations. So yeah,
Speaker 1: it is. And I'm telling you as a being a
Speaker 1: transgender person for so many years, if I had a
Speaker 1: kid that decided that they were transgender, what have you? Yes,
Speaker 1: I have the experience, but when a kid gets a
Speaker 1: certain age and they're grown, they make their own this scisions.
Speaker 1: But when I tell you, I would I would try
Speaker 1: to really put on paper the pros and the cons
Speaker 1: of what it is and what it could be, because
Speaker 1: there's a lot of ifs, and there's a lot of
Speaker 1: wise and there's a lot of this could happen and
Speaker 1: that could happen. And I wouldn't push all the negative.
Speaker 1: But you do know that that decision is forever forever.
Speaker 1: And I think that it's kind of like they say,
Speaker 1: a person who lost the limb if they used to
Speaker 1: having that arm or that lag. They still have that
Speaker 1: tingle or that itch cutting off that LIAMB. I don't
Speaker 1: know if you're still gonna have that that feeling. I
Speaker 1: talked to one of my transgender girlfriends in in Atlanta
Speaker 1: just this weekend who just had who had an SRS
Speaker 1: maybe two years ago, and she says she still has
Speaker 1: the urge to masturbate to like a man, but she
Speaker 1: don't have the equipment, she said, but the urge sometimes
Speaker 1: hits her every She says, every blue moon is sporadic,
Speaker 1: but still no one day. What if it gets stronger
Speaker 1: and stronger and it starts happened repeatedly every day. There's
Speaker 1: nothing you could do to get that feeling back because
Speaker 1: you didn't took the way. I was like, wow, And
Speaker 1: I love the fact that she was honest enough to
Speaker 1: admit that to me, like almost like she regretted the
Speaker 1: decision that she made. Well, I wouldn't say regretted, but
Speaker 1: she said that she still has that urge to to
Speaker 1: you know, to stroke. And I was like, well, what
Speaker 1: you do about it? She's like, I just try to
Speaker 1: go sleep, she said. But the more it happens, the
Speaker 1: longer it happens. Oh so like the first, she said,
Speaker 1: it will just happened. Like she think about it for
Speaker 1: a few minutes, she said, Now she found herself thinking
Speaker 1: about it more and more. So, mind you, this girl
Speaker 1: is only forty six, forty seven years old, so what
Speaker 1: if she needs to be a hundred, it'll be stronger
Speaker 1: and stronger. That is my thing. I don't it's the
Speaker 1: unknown for me. Well, I that's not something I desired,
Speaker 1: but it would be the unknown for me because clearly
Speaker 1: I'm not going to give up my orgasm. I could
Speaker 1: be a miserable bitch walking around here, but if I
Speaker 1: need to pull it out, I can pull it out.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying. And I think that that happens because
Speaker 1: people don't be honest with each other. I don't. I've
Speaker 1: never had a sex change. I couldn't tell how they feel,
Speaker 1: what it feels like. But I think that people should
Speaker 1: be They that the Wayne Wade's family need to get
Speaker 1: one girl who has had an SRS for ten fifteen
Speaker 1: years to just give all different fasies of what they
Speaker 1: that person has went through, good and bad, to that
Speaker 1: girl and give it to her in the wrong, give
Speaker 1: it to her straight. Don't sugarcoat it, make it what
Speaker 1: it is, so that the least they have the option
Speaker 1: of saying, you know what, maybe not or maybe you know,
Speaker 1: but I don't know. People want to hit People don't
Speaker 1: want to hear the truth. People want to hear the lines.
Speaker 1: They want to hear the fantasies. They want to hit
Speaker 1: us the bad stories. Want it's something bad. But if
Speaker 1: it's something that they really want to do, they don't
Speaker 1: want to hear the bad part. They don't want to
Speaker 1: hear the dark side of it. And most things have
Speaker 1: a dark side. Well that's also if too, you know,
Speaker 1: she wants to get you know, the sex change. You know,
Speaker 1: like you said, it was clickbait, so we story behind it.
Speaker 1: But um, I mean, I hope that she does wait
Speaker 1: if that's something that she wants to do, because you know,
Speaker 1: your hormones are still developing, you're still growing, you're still changing,
Speaker 1: your ideologies are going to be different from when you're
Speaker 1: this age, you know, twenty years from now. So I
Speaker 1: hope that she does wait, um to do that, But
Speaker 1: I don't know how I feel about the mom basically
Speaker 1: saying like, oh, you only want to do this for
Speaker 1: our child because it's a profiting thing because mom was
Speaker 1: headed but acting like she was homeless, and a whole
Speaker 1: lot was going on back and then so who knows.
Speaker 1: But in respect of the mom, again, she is the mom.
Speaker 1: She is the actual mother. She is. That is true.
Speaker 1: But we also, like you said, we don't know the
Speaker 1: home situation, so that that is a very touchy subject.
Speaker 1: And I hope that whoever, whatever decisions they make for anything,
Speaker 1: that that town has somebody, honestly besides just her parents
Speaker 1: that she could talk to of trans experience, and not
Speaker 1: for the click bake or the likes or the fame
Speaker 1: or the money, but for the happiness of that person,
Speaker 1: that she can be a happy person, a happy individual,
Speaker 1: productive individual in this society. Because some mistakes you can't
Speaker 1: take back. And then, speaking of mistakes that you can't
Speaker 1: take back, let's talk about Elon Musk. The fact that
Speaker 1: he's officially acquired Twitter can't take back is all of
Speaker 1: that third surgery, because good god, he look yeah, well,
Speaker 1: Elon Musk has officially acquired Twitter. He fired a lot
Speaker 1: of their top execs at the organization or at the company,
Speaker 1: i should say. And also to the use of the
Speaker 1: N word has been up about five percent on the
Speaker 1: platform since he's taken over, and it wasn't bat me.
Speaker 1: I didn't even say the N word on Twitter, not
Speaker 1: one time. It's a whole bunch of them, you know,
Speaker 1: the white people that are just feel free to say
Speaker 1: and express how they really feel. I just said, and
Speaker 1: that's where we at it. If we lose, if they lose,
Speaker 1: they go on the war. If they win, they're gonna
Speaker 1: get more in voted. It was just the timing for me,
Speaker 1: with the whole pop Pelosi attack and now with him
Speaker 1: acquiring to Twitter, who will possibly put Trump back on?
Speaker 1: I believe he's going to put Trunk back on. But
Speaker 1: Trump has a d a million follower Twitter. He has
Speaker 1: four million followers on that Boulet platform that he's on,
Speaker 1: which is still way more than what I got. But
Speaker 1: I'm not spewing hate. I'm spewing the truth. But I'm
Speaker 1: not spewing hate. I'm not spewing killhard Maine because you
Speaker 1: don't look like mel you don't think like me. That's
Speaker 1: your choice. But that's where that's where we are. Good
Speaker 1: God is scared. Well, what'll be interesting is if he
Speaker 1: lets Donald Trump back on Twitter but doesn't like Kanye West,
Speaker 1: back on Twitter. That's gonna say a lot. You can
Speaker 1: have both on for me, you can take both somewhere else.
Speaker 1: They can go to Winters, guitters, Twitter. But litter, I
Speaker 1: don't care, cat litter, dog shit, I don't care. Just
Speaker 1: I just don't want them to have platforms just spell
Speaker 1: crazy messages, whether it's anti Semitic, anti black, or super hey,
Speaker 1: I don't want any of that. I think, like I said,
Speaker 1: Trump just kind of uh broke the glass ceiling on
Speaker 1: you know how people are allowing people to freely say
Speaker 1: how they feel about folks in this country, and it's
Speaker 1: just only gonna get worse O case some point. That's
Speaker 1: why I just want to water fire arm because the
Speaker 1: level of violence and the hate that's happening in this
Speaker 1: country right now is it's actually mind boggling to think about.
Speaker 1: It's it's crazy. It's crazy that you just don't feel safe.
Speaker 1: I feel protected. Don't look, I get my little dog.
Speaker 1: My dog's gonna protect me. You gotta stop dropping them.
Speaker 1: First dog I have in my hand and the dog
Speaker 1: I carry my TV, both of them. So it's just, um,
Speaker 1: it's definitely crazy times that we're living in and um,
Speaker 1: these elections that are coming up next Tuesday. It's like
Speaker 1: you said, it's gonna determine a lot of how things
Speaker 1: are going to move forward, if they move forward at all.
Speaker 1: So and just the most it's it's just I don't
Speaker 1: want people to walk away and say, oh, it's just
Speaker 1: the primaries. It's just the primaries. The primaries are such
Speaker 1: a plethora, opens up such a plethora of money that
Speaker 1: we need to win the big one. Y'all have to
Speaker 1: get out here and vote. I know, I know, it's
Speaker 1: a it's disheardening you. I don't feel like I don't
Speaker 1: trust them. We all have the same feelings that you
Speaker 1: all have. The only difference is we have to act
Speaker 1: on the feelings that we do have, which is to
Speaker 1: get out and vote. All that sitting around and man
Speaker 1: and hidden lights on the Facebook, and I'm gonna put
Speaker 1: this post up so that all of that is cute,
Speaker 1: but to go to the polls and do do the job.
Speaker 1: Do the job that was handed to you. As an
Speaker 1: American citizen. You have the right to vote. Go and vote.
Speaker 1: Vote and don't vote your future, vote your present, because
Speaker 1: the future is bleak. Ship Well, I think it goes
Speaker 1: back to something that you touched onto the fact that
Speaker 1: you know, Joe Biden did deliver speech and I ain't
Speaker 1: talking about protecting democracy because we do have a lot
Speaker 1: of Republicans that are running in these primaries, their election deniers,
Speaker 1: they still don't think that Joe Biden really won, and
Speaker 1: putting in if they get elected to these seats of power,
Speaker 1: it's gonna determine how ends up and whether or not
Speaker 1: they're actually going to properly certify certain states to go
Speaker 1: with specific electoral votes. That's what's gonna happen. And so
Speaker 1: these mid terms are actually damn they are more important
Speaker 1: than election because these are gonna determine who sits in
Speaker 1: these positions to properly certify elections and saying hi, Louren
Speaker 1: because herschel Walker is clearly in around another woman, Woman
Speaker 1: number three didn't come out and they ran with him
Speaker 1: till they because they want to control of the power.
Speaker 1: And I kind of wish my Democratic Party would even
Speaker 1: take a sting they can learn from these These Republicans
Speaker 1: are like, don't but were going and I don't care
Speaker 1: what happened. I wish the Democrats will get on that
Speaker 1: same on that same bus. Right now, we just need
Speaker 1: them to be a lot more aggressive, not a little bit,
Speaker 1: a lot more aggressive and stern, and it stand thought, Yep,
Speaker 1: we really do. But um, I hope that there's more people. Well,
Speaker 1: I also have seen that I think like over five
Speaker 1: million people have already voted. So even though we do
Speaker 1: have some people like what you were saying in terms
Speaker 1: of saying that they don't want to vote, it seems
Speaker 1: that a lot more people are already exercising their right
Speaker 1: to vote because so many more people have voted in
Speaker 1: early voting than in previous races. But it's just, um,
Speaker 1: it's very important at this point in time for us
Speaker 1: to get out we're trusted. It seems as that we're
Speaker 1: trusting the mainly and more than we are trusting being
Speaker 1: at the post because you can track your Mailly, that's
Speaker 1: what I like. You can track your vote to see
Speaker 1: exactly what your vote is at and also to you
Speaker 1: probably feel safer to mail in your ballot with all
Speaker 1: of the people that are working in the polls now
Speaker 1: that are trying to use intimidation tactics. And also I
Speaker 1: would I feel safe for you know, voting by man
Speaker 1: and just dropping off my ballot. I don't have to
Speaker 1: worry about somebody you know, trying to intimidate me or
Speaker 1: make me feel like, um, you know I I don't
Speaker 1: have a right to be here, or you know, forcing
Speaker 1: me to fill out a provisional ballot. It's damn near
Speaker 1: dangerous to go to the polls. Again. We live in
Speaker 1: southern California. I don't feel like that in my neighborhood.
Speaker 1: But the nigga and me, let me see it. Since
Speaker 1: we ain't on Twitter, let me see the nigga. Me
Speaker 1: want to live in the South and go to one
Speaker 1: of the Poland places where they're gonna give me a
Speaker 1: hard time so I can show up and clown trum.
Speaker 1: What's that saying? I remember a couple of years ago
Speaker 1: there was a meme going around and like T shirts
Speaker 1: saying like I'm not my ancestors. I will hit you
Speaker 1: back because you know and and and I'm getting back
Speaker 1: last week from the interview, I just saw something said
Speaker 1: because I said something about non binary folks because I
Speaker 1: didn't understand what it was. And so when she explained
Speaker 1: to me, I said, oh, so they only have identify
Speaker 1: as nothing. Girl. They're mad at me. Uh they always
Speaker 1: mad at me. But uh no, I'm not my ancestors.
Speaker 1: And one person could never speak for one group, one
Speaker 1: black person, one white person, one trans person. One you can't.
Speaker 1: So that's why I'm saying I don't speak for the community. Baby,
Speaker 1: I couldn't speak. I love Dr Mike Luther King, but
Speaker 1: I didn't agree with his tactics because if you put
Speaker 1: your hands on me, I'm gonna hurt you. Yeah, we
Speaker 1: definitely aligned a little more with Malcolm on that front.
Speaker 1: But and can we can we agree that Malcolm was
Speaker 1: faying I would have gave Malcolm sell you know, um,
Speaker 1: wh don't we talk about that? She was about to
Speaker 1: tell it to stop? Whoops? Um. But speaking of people
Speaker 1: that are trying to stop elections from being certified, we
Speaker 1: can talk a little bit more about Clarence Thomas because, um,
Speaker 1: they did report that today that Trump's lawyers saw Thomas
Speaker 1: is like the only chance to stop the elections ratification.
Speaker 1: So for somebody who's supposed to be so neutral and um,
Speaker 1: you know, not talking about politics at his house with
Speaker 1: his wife, even though she was texting Mark Meadows, Um,
Speaker 1: the truth seems to be quite different from what their
Speaker 1: rhetoric is. So I need him to go to well,
Speaker 1: they need to change the laws on the Supreme Court
Speaker 1: on a lot of these positions because this lifetime appointment
Speaker 1: is not working. Because you may have the lifetime appointment,
Speaker 1: but again, you change, you may change. Just what we're
Speaker 1: talking about, people change. Can we address your background change?
Speaker 1: It's giving very much red light special. I'm in the
Speaker 1: I'm in the ladies room. Oh my goodness, is lighting?
Speaker 1: I need the lighting? That's the nam Okay. Can we
Speaker 1: agree that it's chilly in southern Califor and you're good
Speaker 1: God ship, I want to wear a damn sweater. She
Speaker 1: just wanted to wear hust to y'all because it's black
Speaker 1: ladies of ladies and Jim. I hope you guys are
Speaker 1: listening to us, and when I tell you we we
Speaker 1: have a little rhetoric sometimes, but we are really pushing
Speaker 1: the critics the importance of the vote, especially in the
Speaker 1: state of Georgia. Stacy Abrams really need you guys to
Speaker 1: come out to the post and make sure she can
Speaker 1: acquire this governorship that she should have had a few
Speaker 1: years ago, and then we're back at it. So I
Speaker 1: remember Andrew Gillions was the same way. I feel like
Speaker 1: that he was stoked the governorship was sold for him,
Speaker 1: and I feel like the governorship was solder from Stacy Abrams.
Speaker 1: The difference was the choices that they made afterwards. Stacy
Speaker 1: Abrams was very instrumental and flipping Georgia blue. Andrew Gillian's
Speaker 1: politics is still fantastic to me. He just got caught
Speaker 1: with his fans down, uh literally, but politics are still great.
Speaker 1: So put you all that aside and do what's important
Speaker 1: for you and stop all that on both in my future,
Speaker 1: my future depends on the future is so bleak. Vote
Speaker 1: the president. The president is where we need you at
Speaker 1: right now, right now. And saying all that to say,
Speaker 1: here at last, learn we have a saying that we're
Speaker 1: never trying to get anybody to change your mind. They're
Speaker 1: simply trying to get just to use your mind because
Speaker 1: some of y'all don't have one. And you need to
Speaker 1: go see the Wizard because you'll played too much now
Speaker 1: because your mind is a terrible thing the ways. And
Speaker 1: I'm telling you we need all Americans, especially Blue Democrats,
Speaker 1: to make sure that you are a registered vote and
Speaker 1: that you utilize the ability the freedom you know that
Speaker 1: you have to go out and vote because we in
Speaker 1: a crucial time it's it is beyond scary. To be honest,
Speaker 1: it is beyond scary. Yeah, that's very true. Not just
Speaker 1: vote that we're black, not just because I'm dreams, but
Speaker 1: just as an American, because they think that America belongs
Speaker 1: to them. If you thought the America belongs to you,
Speaker 1: you should have left me where I was at with
Speaker 1: my bone and my nose and my grass skirt because
Speaker 1: I was doing just fine. Mm hmm. Well. As always,

Speaker 1: He was tragically killed in the midst of a dice game.
Speaker 1: It was a sense senseless violence. It wasn't necessary. It
Speaker 1: was only twenty eight years old. And it's like yet
Speaker 1: another young black man that's being murdered. That hurts and
Speaker 1: over a damned gambling They get out of control, they
Speaker 1: get out of control. Yeah, so I just my heart
Speaker 1: hurts for his family. Um, you know, Quevo and offset
Speaker 1: To you know, they were really family, you know, nephew, uncle, cousin.
Speaker 1: And to just to lose another you know, black man
Speaker 1: to a sense to senseless violence is just it's ridiculous
Speaker 1: at this point in time and right yes, wow, and
Speaker 1: they were actually beefing at this moment in time to
Speaker 1: Um Offset wasn't really speaking to them. So that also
Speaker 1: shows you that life is short and things that seem
Speaker 1: so serious just really aren't that serious because you know
Speaker 1: your loved ones, you never know they may not be
Speaker 1: here tomorrow. So I myself just celebrated the we didn't
