0:02:16.320 --> 0:02:18.040

0:02:18.480 --> 0:02:21.160
<v Speaker 1>the presidents you're well, you're not been reading some of

0:02:21.160 --> 0:02:23.079
<v Speaker 1>the comments and they're like, you know, one Nicholas is

0:02:23.120 --> 0:02:25.679
<v Speaker 1>too professional to Nicholas must be a Republican, and three

0:02:25.680 --> 0:02:29.080
<v Speaker 1>from why don't you fire Nicholas? So guess what one

0:02:29.440 --> 0:02:32.880

<v Speaker 1>some about landing ship, but so will I. And three

0:02:35.720 --> 0:02:38.200
<v Speaker 1>then they ain't going awhere He right here. I'm right

0:02:38.200 --> 0:02:40.840

0:02:40.840 --> 0:02:44.040
<v Speaker 1>and now when this contract is up, not only where

0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:50.240
<v Speaker 1>he might not be here. Welcome. You've been a busy

0:02:50.320 --> 0:02:52.560
<v Speaker 1>beaving this week. You've been what you've been doing. Um

0:02:52.600 --> 0:02:55.200
<v Speaker 1>So I went to Atlanta for two of my best

0:02:55.200 --> 0:02:59.480
<v Speaker 1>friends graduations. One graduated from Georgia State Law School and

0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:01.639
<v Speaker 1>b a at the same time, So she got a

0:03:01.720 --> 0:03:03.760
<v Speaker 1>j D and n B A very proud of her.

0:03:04.000 --> 0:03:06.680
<v Speaker 1>And then my other best friend finally graduated from Spellman.

0:03:06.720 --> 0:03:08.680
<v Speaker 1>Actually she had to defer for two years, and then

0:03:08.680 --> 0:03:10.560
<v Speaker 1>she got into the workforce. You know, it's hard to

0:03:10.560 --> 0:03:12.760
<v Speaker 1>get back into school, and she've been working and making money.

0:03:12.800 --> 0:03:15.560
<v Speaker 1>So she finally did it, and I'm very very proud

0:03:15.560 --> 0:03:17.680
<v Speaker 1>of her. So I went to Atlanta to celebrate her

0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:20.560
<v Speaker 1>and both of them, actually, and I had a little fun,

0:03:20.639 --> 0:03:22.600
<v Speaker 1>you know. I saw some old friends and hung out

0:03:22.639 --> 0:03:25.280
<v Speaker 1>and I got back at eleven pm last night, and

0:03:25.320 --> 0:03:27.120
<v Speaker 1>you and I were talking about before flame came in

0:03:27.200 --> 0:03:29.560
<v Speaker 1>that it's we don't recover the same way we used to. Lauren,

0:03:29.680 --> 0:03:32.919
<v Speaker 1>absolutely not. I feel old as hell. Oh my god.

0:03:32.960 --> 0:03:35.000
<v Speaker 1>I had a red eye going out. And I can

0:03:35.000 --> 0:03:36.480
<v Speaker 1>tellue what well, I can tell you what it is

0:03:36.480 --> 0:03:40.480
<v Speaker 1>about the traveling now, it's the mask. The mask make

0:03:40.520 --> 0:03:43.280
<v Speaker 1>the trips seem longer. I don't take mane off. I'm

0:03:43.280 --> 0:03:46.160
<v Speaker 1>telling you I've been traveling to the mask to me

0:03:46.360 --> 0:03:48.080
<v Speaker 1>things like it makes the trip longer because I want

0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:50.040
<v Speaker 1>to take my mask off and breathe. Do you sleep

0:03:50.040 --> 0:03:52.240
<v Speaker 1>on the flight? Though? I used to luring, but I

0:03:52.240 --> 0:03:54.520
<v Speaker 1>ain't got real nervous about sleeping on flights. Now, I'd

0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:56.680
<v Speaker 1>be scared somebody gonna be touching me in my sleep stuff.

0:03:56.720 --> 0:03:59.000
<v Speaker 1>That's why I seemed longer to you me. I go

0:03:59.080 --> 0:04:02.960
<v Speaker 1>to sleep on any flight, Lauren, to sit down, I'm out.

0:04:03.480 --> 0:04:05.360
<v Speaker 1>And it used to get upset because I always missed

0:04:05.360 --> 0:04:09.600
<v Speaker 1>that meal. Serf right because I'm not going to sleep.

0:04:09.600 --> 0:04:13.000
<v Speaker 1>I need to see what's happening in and out. But

0:04:13.040 --> 0:04:14.960
<v Speaker 1>I never have a deep sleep because I'm not comfortable.

0:04:14.960 --> 0:04:17.480
<v Speaker 1>I need to stretch out well. I mean, I have

0:04:17.720 --> 0:04:19.719
<v Speaker 1>status on Delta two, so i'd be upgrading for free.

0:04:19.720 --> 0:04:22.400
<v Speaker 1>I feel like first class. See all that. She didn't

0:04:22.400 --> 0:04:23.960
<v Speaker 1>even had to do it. You see what I'm talking about,

0:04:23.960 --> 0:04:28.600
<v Speaker 1>just saying what I'm up against. No, see when you

0:04:28.640 --> 0:04:32.240
<v Speaker 1>went for these major corporations, not not laughing, other job

0:04:32.640 --> 0:04:34.760
<v Speaker 1>and you get all these perks first class and something

0:04:34.760 --> 0:04:36.120
<v Speaker 1>not like I don't like it because they flew my

0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:38.400
<v Speaker 1>black gass first class. I put you up on some

0:04:38.440 --> 0:04:41.480
<v Speaker 1>travel game when we traveled together a new favorite hotel

0:04:41.520 --> 0:04:45.599
<v Speaker 1>in Atlanta. Now it's the only place my heads weren't

0:04:45.600 --> 0:04:49.159
<v Speaker 1>stretched down because I was I'm just saying, you travel

0:04:49.160 --> 0:04:55.400
<v Speaker 1>a little differently now some hanging out with me. So

0:04:52.080 --> 0:04:59.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying, okay, So speaking of mask, first topic, because

0:04:59.120 --> 0:05:01.400
<v Speaker 1>today is a day that first lady sent me a

0:05:01.440 --> 0:05:05.640
<v Speaker 1>scripture this morning from um. It was from Proverbs verse

0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:08.800
<v Speaker 1>eighteen sixteen, and the quote is what Nicholas, let me

0:05:08.839 --> 0:05:10.880
<v Speaker 1>pull that up because I just saw, because it's very

0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:13.080
<v Speaker 1>appropriate for what's happening with me today. I'm doing something

0:05:13.080 --> 0:05:15.839
<v Speaker 1>really major today. I'm taking some pictures with some legends

0:05:15.880 --> 0:05:17.680
<v Speaker 1>and I'm really excited about That's why you gotta make

0:05:17.760 --> 0:05:19.120
<v Speaker 1>up on that, because my makeup art is will be

0:05:19.160 --> 0:05:23.440
<v Speaker 1>here at two o'clock. Yeah. The quote is Proverb sixteen

0:05:23.640 --> 0:05:26.840
<v Speaker 1>man's gift maketh room for him and bring it him

0:05:26.880 --> 0:05:30.960
<v Speaker 1>before great men today. This great man's gift, don't introduce

0:05:31.080 --> 0:05:35.120
<v Speaker 1>him to some great men and women. So let's do it, okay,

0:05:35.120 --> 0:05:37.840
<v Speaker 1>Speaking of our first time, that is Proverbs eighteen sixteen

0:05:37.839 --> 0:05:39.640
<v Speaker 1>for those who if you want to read that, baby,

0:05:39.640 --> 0:05:41.520
<v Speaker 1>because I'm the great man and the woman, it should

0:05:41.560 --> 0:05:44.200
<v Speaker 1>have said, great he weeks, let me call God. You

0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:46.920
<v Speaker 1>gonna need him to change. He's not being politically correct.

0:05:48.560 --> 0:05:50.440
<v Speaker 1>Why don't we jump right on end though, on the mask,

0:05:51.680 --> 0:05:54.440
<v Speaker 1>because you're our president, my president, the one we all

0:05:54.520 --> 0:05:59.000
<v Speaker 1>voted for, has mandated a mass mandate that you don't

0:05:59.000 --> 0:06:01.719
<v Speaker 1>have to wear your mask. He's repeating information from the

0:06:01.720 --> 0:06:04.760
<v Speaker 1>CDC saying that now CDC guidelines are saying that if

0:06:04.760 --> 0:06:06.800
<v Speaker 1>you're outdoors, you don't need to wear a mask. If

0:06:06.839 --> 0:06:09.680
<v Speaker 1>you've been fully vaccinated, you don't need to wear a mask. However,

0:06:10.160 --> 0:06:13.360
<v Speaker 1>individual stores and restaurants can decide what they want their

0:06:13.360 --> 0:06:16.039
<v Speaker 1>business to do for those who may be patrons of

0:06:16.080 --> 0:06:18.479
<v Speaker 1>their particular space. Are you guys ready to not wear

0:06:18.480 --> 0:06:21.080
<v Speaker 1>a mask? And both of you guys have been fully vaccinated,

0:06:21.120 --> 0:06:23.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm the one who has not been. Well, you know

0:06:23.720 --> 0:06:26.680
<v Speaker 1>my vaccine right here. Let me no, I sprayed myself already.

0:06:26.680 --> 0:06:31.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm not just in case commercially watching. You know this

0:06:31.160 --> 0:06:34.280
<v Speaker 1>is my vac safe for two a whole year. Uh.

0:06:35.200 --> 0:06:40.039
<v Speaker 1>You started in what you think? Well, I don't know that.

0:06:40.080 --> 0:06:42.640
<v Speaker 1>What I do wish though, UM, I believe that people

0:06:42.680 --> 0:06:45.839
<v Speaker 1>were ready to do some type of unmasking, but I

0:06:45.880 --> 0:06:50.120
<v Speaker 1>also believe that there's confusion around what people should do. UM.

0:06:50.279 --> 0:06:53.039
<v Speaker 1>Not just older, but mostly older are still in the

0:06:53.040 --> 0:06:55.080
<v Speaker 1>space where they want to continue wearing their masks because

0:06:55.080 --> 0:06:59.600
<v Speaker 1>they don't feel particularly safe not wearing a mask. I

0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:01.839
<v Speaker 1>think that there are those who are frustrated and tired

0:07:01.880 --> 0:07:04.560
<v Speaker 1>of wearing a mask. What I don't like is that

0:07:04.600 --> 0:07:08.240
<v Speaker 1>I feel like the ownership or the responsibility of policing

0:07:08.279 --> 0:07:10.640
<v Speaker 1>those who do and do not wear mask is falling

0:07:10.640 --> 0:07:13.520
<v Speaker 1>on employees who should not have to bear the responsibility.

0:07:13.800 --> 0:07:16.560
<v Speaker 1>I just saw the interaction that one Costco employee had

0:07:16.600 --> 0:07:19.640
<v Speaker 1>with Rick Schrolder. How does this guy argue with Rick Schroeder,

0:07:19.680 --> 0:07:22.760
<v Speaker 1>who you know is a celebrity? You know? How do

0:07:22.800 --> 0:07:24.640
<v Speaker 1>I how he should not be in the position where

0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:27.520
<v Speaker 1>he has to demand that Mr Schroeder wear masks before

0:07:27.520 --> 0:07:30.120
<v Speaker 1>he enters into Costco. Yes he should, I remember, damned

0:07:30.120 --> 0:07:31.920
<v Speaker 1>about him and being celebrity. He is a human and

0:07:31.960 --> 0:07:34.520
<v Speaker 1>he could give me coronavirus. He could give me I

0:07:34.520 --> 0:07:36.880
<v Speaker 1>guess I don't want that employee in the in the

0:07:36.880 --> 0:07:40.040
<v Speaker 1>spot where he has to us. And I hear you

0:07:40.040 --> 0:07:42.880
<v Speaker 1>said what you say. Celebrities have to take responsibility just

0:07:43.000 --> 0:07:45.360
<v Speaker 1>like everybody. If there are rudes and we all have

0:07:45.440 --> 0:07:47.840
<v Speaker 1>to follow rules. If if this store says that in

0:07:47.920 --> 0:07:49.760
<v Speaker 1>order to enter our store plan and they do have

0:07:49.800 --> 0:07:52.880
<v Speaker 1>the signs out upon entering, you must wear man, you

0:07:52.920 --> 0:07:55.720
<v Speaker 1>either follow rules or shop somewhere else. No that I hear.

0:07:55.920 --> 0:07:58.320
<v Speaker 1>I just don't like Rick Schroeder making that guy the

0:07:58.320 --> 0:08:01.080
<v Speaker 1>bad guy, putting him on social media. So Josh, you're

0:08:01.080 --> 0:08:04.120
<v Speaker 1>telling me to the store I can't walk in and

0:08:04.200 --> 0:08:06.360
<v Speaker 1>putting that guy didn't have to be on his exam.

0:08:06.560 --> 0:08:08.480
<v Speaker 1>But let's go back to the source, cause Rick shoulders,

0:08:08.520 --> 0:08:10.400
<v Speaker 1>she slid off the crack of many years ago. Go

0:08:10.440 --> 0:08:12.680
<v Speaker 1>back and do your research. Ricky should have been a

0:08:12.680 --> 0:08:15.160
<v Speaker 1>cuckoo patty for a long time. He was a cute,

0:08:15.160 --> 0:08:17.200
<v Speaker 1>little blond boy where he grew up to be a maniac.

0:08:18.080 --> 0:08:21.480
<v Speaker 1>He did eccentric, over the top. Go back and do

0:08:21.520 --> 0:08:24.280
<v Speaker 1>your research. Years ago he came out with some kind

0:08:24.280 --> 0:08:26.560
<v Speaker 1>of political thing he was and some kind of religious

0:08:26.600 --> 0:08:31.320
<v Speaker 1>thing he was. He's a he's a special special souls.

0:08:31.440 --> 0:08:34.360
<v Speaker 1>I see it it um. I mean, I personally think

0:08:34.400 --> 0:08:37.960
<v Speaker 1>that this is the CDC is trying to incentivize people

0:08:38.000 --> 0:08:39.720
<v Speaker 1>to get vaccinated. I really think that's what this comes

0:08:39.720 --> 0:08:41.840
<v Speaker 1>down to, because we're seeing this huge decline and people

0:08:41.840 --> 0:08:45.160
<v Speaker 1>getting vaccinated, and honestly, coming from a marketing background, you

0:08:45.160 --> 0:08:47.720
<v Speaker 1>always have to incentivize people to get them to do something.

0:08:48.000 --> 0:08:50.280
<v Speaker 1>So I think by saying like oh, if you're fully vaccinated,

0:08:50.360 --> 0:08:52.199
<v Speaker 1>you don't have to be You can be outside you

0:08:52.200 --> 0:08:53.640
<v Speaker 1>don't have to wear a mask, and out indoors you

0:08:53.640 --> 0:08:55.760
<v Speaker 1>don't have to wear a mask either. I think they're

0:08:55.760 --> 0:08:58.800
<v Speaker 1>trying to get more people vaccinated. I do think that

0:08:58.840 --> 0:09:01.880
<v Speaker 1>it's grossly your response on the CDC's part, and on

0:09:01.960 --> 0:09:03.600
<v Speaker 1>Joe Biden. I mean, he is the president. I get

0:09:03.640 --> 0:09:05.960
<v Speaker 1>he's leaning towards the scientists and the experts, so he's

0:09:05.960 --> 0:09:09.200
<v Speaker 1>trying to put some trust back into that. But to

0:09:09.280 --> 0:09:12.680
<v Speaker 1>put the onus on these corporations to decide when and

0:09:12.720 --> 0:09:15.319
<v Speaker 1>where you can wear masks, and this whole honor system

0:09:15.360 --> 0:09:19.040
<v Speaker 1>I think is stupid. Considering before thank you, I mean,

0:09:19.080 --> 0:09:22.240
<v Speaker 1>I mean considering before you had Karen's and everybody else

0:09:22.240 --> 0:09:23.840
<v Speaker 1>that didn't want to wear masks, and we're saying that

0:09:23.840 --> 0:09:27.000
<v Speaker 1>you're violating my rights. And now you expect these people

0:09:27.040 --> 0:09:29.319
<v Speaker 1>to be honest and say, oh, I've been fully vaccinated,

0:09:29.600 --> 0:09:32.520
<v Speaker 1>but where's the proof, And so you're you're putting everybody

0:09:32.559 --> 0:09:35.160
<v Speaker 1>at risk to have the rates of infections of COVID

0:09:35.160 --> 0:09:37.240
<v Speaker 1>go up. Bottom line, it's just not It's not so

0:09:37.360 --> 0:09:39.160
<v Speaker 1>I can just come in and rome and say I've

0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:41.320
<v Speaker 1>been vaccinated, and everybody who followed me knows that I

0:09:41.360 --> 0:09:44.679
<v Speaker 1>am completely exactly taking the vaccine. I am not telling

0:09:44.800 --> 0:09:47.120
<v Speaker 1>nobody else what to do, and y'all gonna believe me.

0:09:47.200 --> 0:09:50.560
<v Speaker 1>See that honest system. I can honorably get stopped at

0:09:50.559 --> 0:09:52.439
<v Speaker 1>the stop sign and think I'm gonna honorably get home

0:09:52.960 --> 0:09:55.800
<v Speaker 1>office right. But I think where that honor system comes

0:09:55.840 --> 0:09:58.240
<v Speaker 1>in and s the idea is that I'm supposed to

0:09:58.600 --> 0:10:02.520
<v Speaker 1>as a vaccinated person, and my responsibility is to communicate

0:10:02.559 --> 0:10:05.680
<v Speaker 1>that so that if someone who is not vaccinated is

0:10:05.800 --> 0:10:08.280
<v Speaker 1>in in the same space, I should then say, well,

0:10:08.280 --> 0:10:10.920
<v Speaker 1>I've been vaccinated. But to help you feel more comfortable, man,

0:10:10.960 --> 0:10:13.400
<v Speaker 1>I have no problem wearing a mask because if that

0:10:13.440 --> 0:10:15.480
<v Speaker 1>helps you feel more comfortable with me wearing a mask

0:10:15.720 --> 0:10:17.520
<v Speaker 1>so that we can be in the same space, I,

0:10:17.679 --> 0:10:20.199
<v Speaker 1>as a good steward, should want to do that first

0:10:20.320 --> 0:10:22.040
<v Speaker 1>or second show we ever did for laugh and learn?

0:10:22.120 --> 0:10:24.520
<v Speaker 1>What did I say? People do not want to be

0:10:24.600 --> 0:10:27.760
<v Speaker 1>Americans do not want to be told what to do.

0:10:27.880 --> 0:10:30.160
<v Speaker 1>This ain't got nothing to do with race. Americans do

0:10:30.200 --> 0:10:31.840
<v Speaker 1>not want to be don't tell me what to do.

0:10:32.000 --> 0:10:34.360
<v Speaker 1>That's how we feel. Yeah, I just I just don't

0:10:34.360 --> 0:10:36.000
<v Speaker 1>think that this is a good idea at all. It's

0:10:36.040 --> 0:10:37.920
<v Speaker 1>just And the other thing too is I don't know.

0:10:38.080 --> 0:10:39.959
<v Speaker 1>I mean, we can get into this a little bit,

0:10:40.000 --> 0:10:42.280
<v Speaker 1>but some people may also not want to disclose that

0:10:42.320 --> 0:10:44.280
<v Speaker 1>they have been vaccinated either, because that can go into

0:10:44.360 --> 0:10:46.400
<v Speaker 1>hip A violations if we want to talk about that too.

0:10:46.720 --> 0:10:50.400
<v Speaker 1>So there's just too many layers of irresponsibility to this

0:10:50.559 --> 0:10:52.959
<v Speaker 1>that I think that it just wasn't thought through. The

0:10:53.000 --> 0:10:54.880
<v Speaker 1>whole focus is let's get people vaccinated, So how do

0:10:54.920 --> 0:10:56.760
<v Speaker 1>we do that? But Nick made a very valid point,

0:10:56.800 --> 0:10:58.880
<v Speaker 1>yes that we did coffee time yesterday morning. Enick made

0:10:58.920 --> 0:11:01.520
<v Speaker 1>it every you cannot ring the bill. I personally, and

0:11:01.559 --> 0:11:03.760
<v Speaker 1>I love Joe Biden. I voted for Joe Biden. I'm

0:11:03.760 --> 0:11:06.000
<v Speaker 1>believing that Joe Biden. I'm waiting. I'm patiently waiting for

0:11:06.080 --> 0:11:08.640
<v Speaker 1>him to make some major changes that we can see

0:11:08.720 --> 0:11:11.560
<v Speaker 1>and that would instill to make the country moving forward direction.

0:11:11.920 --> 0:11:14.920
<v Speaker 1>But I I personally think that he spoke on it

0:11:14.960 --> 0:11:19.680
<v Speaker 1>too soon. The numbers are declining slowly but not done.

0:11:20.400 --> 0:11:23.360
<v Speaker 1>And I, like Nicolas said, yes that you can't ring

0:11:23.400 --> 0:11:25.120
<v Speaker 1>the bill. You can't come back in a month and

0:11:25.200 --> 0:11:27.840
<v Speaker 1>say if the numbers spike up, that okay. Now, you

0:11:27.840 --> 0:11:30.520
<v Speaker 1>gotta start winning. Man, I'm confused, what do I do?

0:11:30.720 --> 0:11:33.280
<v Speaker 1>But I think that's part of their trying to normalize

0:11:33.320 --> 0:11:35.439
<v Speaker 1>COVID at this point because from what I've read, COVID's

0:11:35.480 --> 0:11:38.280
<v Speaker 1>never going away. COVID is basically going to be like

0:11:38.320 --> 0:11:40.800
<v Speaker 1>the seasonal flu. So we're going to see these spikes

0:11:40.840 --> 0:11:45.520
<v Speaker 1>and well, we're gonna see these increases and decreases in

0:11:45.600 --> 0:11:48.040
<v Speaker 1>terms of infections all the time, and that there's gonna

0:11:48.080 --> 0:11:50.560
<v Speaker 1>be these huge spikes during the flu season because they're

0:11:50.559 --> 0:11:54.240
<v Speaker 1>now normalizing COVID as a flu basically, so that's it's

0:11:54.280 --> 0:11:56.240
<v Speaker 1>never going away. We're never going to reach her immunity.

0:11:56.240 --> 0:11:57.840
<v Speaker 1>This is just something that Lauren and I fear that

0:11:57.880 --> 0:12:00.600
<v Speaker 1>these variants will always play a part. Right, So then

0:12:00.679 --> 0:12:03.520
<v Speaker 1>here I am vaccinated. What does that mean once I'm

0:12:04.080 --> 0:12:07.559
<v Speaker 1>possibly exposed to someone who has a different level of COVID? Right,

0:12:07.960 --> 0:12:10.760
<v Speaker 1>does does that variant change then and become something that

0:12:10.760 --> 0:12:12.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm not protected against? So I think there are so

0:12:12.920 --> 0:12:16.000
<v Speaker 1>many things we have to continue to continue considering. But

0:12:16.280 --> 0:12:18.600
<v Speaker 1>going back to the original point, what I don't like

0:12:18.679 --> 0:12:21.440
<v Speaker 1>about all of this are we masking? Are we unmasking?

0:12:21.800 --> 0:12:24.200
<v Speaker 1>Is that it has left this area of ambiguity, and

0:12:24.200 --> 0:12:26.720
<v Speaker 1>I feel like the policing of that has fallen on

0:12:26.760 --> 0:12:28.880
<v Speaker 1>people who simply want to do their jobs. And it's

0:12:28.880 --> 0:12:30.600
<v Speaker 1>not and it should not be on that employee at

0:12:30.600 --> 0:12:34.319
<v Speaker 1>Costco to say, hey, Mr Smith or Mr Schroulder wear masks,

0:12:34.320 --> 0:12:37.840
<v Speaker 1>because that man can lose his job or at least

0:12:37.840 --> 0:12:39.840
<v Speaker 1>be threatened by others who may say, where was that

0:12:39.880 --> 0:12:42.960
<v Speaker 1>guy he told our Ricky? No, you know, when y'all

0:12:43.000 --> 0:12:45.880
<v Speaker 1>started falling behind these celebrities, do your research, got some

0:12:45.920 --> 0:12:52.439
<v Speaker 1>of these celebrities and then did you guys to see

0:12:52.480 --> 0:12:54.200
<v Speaker 1>the video that was at the gaping of the video

0:12:54.240 --> 0:12:57.079
<v Speaker 1>about people are shaming people for either a taking a

0:12:57.160 --> 0:13:00.360
<v Speaker 1>vaccine or be not taking the vaccine. Oh yeah, because

0:13:00.400 --> 0:13:02.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm not taking the vaccine. These are my partners. Both

0:13:02.480 --> 0:13:04.760
<v Speaker 1>of them have been fully vaccinated. I'm not holding them

0:13:04.800 --> 0:13:07.040
<v Speaker 1>accountable for that that. This is with their decision. This

0:13:07.120 --> 0:13:09.439
<v Speaker 1>is my decision. You can't hold nobody's feet to the

0:13:09.480 --> 0:13:11.440
<v Speaker 1>fire for that. I don't tell nobody not to take

0:13:11.480 --> 0:13:13.559
<v Speaker 1>the vaccine. You do the hell you want to do.

0:13:13.600 --> 0:13:15.679
<v Speaker 1>You just know the vaccine and now I'm spraying you.

0:13:15.760 --> 0:13:17.720
<v Speaker 1>And if you did take the vaccine, I'm spraying you twine.

0:13:19.559 --> 0:13:23.120
<v Speaker 1>Just in case you turn kind of you see how

0:13:23.160 --> 0:13:25.319
<v Speaker 1>shiny you're looking at them, you might want to bite me.

0:13:25.760 --> 0:13:28.280
<v Speaker 1>I love it. There's something I want to mention everybody,

0:13:28.320 --> 0:13:30.120
<v Speaker 1>those who may or may not have seen this flame.

0:13:30.120 --> 0:13:31.480
<v Speaker 1>You and I talked about this one show this to

0:13:31.520 --> 0:13:35.600
<v Speaker 1>everybody at home. I am holding what it's called air tag?

0:13:36.520 --> 0:13:39.679
<v Speaker 1>Air tag? Have you all heard about this? Larrey about that?

0:13:40.280 --> 0:13:43.000
<v Speaker 1>So air tag is a new little thing created by

0:13:43.040 --> 0:13:46.320
<v Speaker 1>Apple and what people have been doing because it tracks

0:13:46.320 --> 0:13:48.760
<v Speaker 1>everywhere it goes, but it doesn't make a sound. So

0:13:49.200 --> 0:13:52.839
<v Speaker 1>both parents have been and couples have been placing them

0:13:52.880 --> 0:13:54.839
<v Speaker 1>like in the liner of a boyfriend's jacket that he

0:13:54.880 --> 0:13:57.680
<v Speaker 1>wears all the time. And wait, Manute, I thought you

0:13:57.720 --> 0:13:59.839
<v Speaker 1>were just doing that one show with Flame. Well you've

0:13:59.840 --> 0:14:05.679
<v Speaker 1>been well you just my teenage. It's also one of

0:14:05.720 --> 0:14:08.000
<v Speaker 1>those things where Apple is saying, hey, we're hoping that

0:14:08.000 --> 0:14:09.760
<v Speaker 1>people are using these in good faith. And that's part

0:14:09.800 --> 0:14:11.479
<v Speaker 1>of the question. Want to open up to the flamemates.

0:14:11.559 --> 0:14:14.520
<v Speaker 1>If you have an opportunity to track your team, what

0:14:14.679 --> 0:14:16.080
<v Speaker 1>you or do you want to trust your team to

0:14:16.120 --> 0:14:17.720
<v Speaker 1>do the right thing or do you want to trust

0:14:17.720 --> 0:14:20.360
<v Speaker 1>your spots called air Tagings on four bucks two point

0:14:21.120 --> 0:14:24.320
<v Speaker 1>two points. Yes, I want to track my team and

0:14:24.400 --> 0:14:27.160
<v Speaker 1>two Apple made it to something? Do you want to

0:14:27.160 --> 0:14:33.120
<v Speaker 1>be trusted? And you know who made it Apple? Bill Gates.

0:14:33.520 --> 0:14:36.840
<v Speaker 1>Job that nigga did, we only got to track him.

0:14:36.920 --> 0:14:42.040
<v Speaker 1>Uh we know, you know, we know exactly where he is. Baby,

0:14:42.040 --> 0:14:45.760
<v Speaker 1>Who is Apple? Which one? Which one is Bill Gates?

0:14:46.920 --> 0:14:49.200
<v Speaker 1>I might have got him confused, but the nigga still

0:14:49.200 --> 0:14:55.280
<v Speaker 1>need Melinda girl. Have you read about this so? No?

0:14:55.480 --> 0:14:57.360
<v Speaker 1>I like it? La? What you think? Um? I think

0:14:57.400 --> 0:14:59.920
<v Speaker 1>we're one step away to being injected with micro trips

0:14:59.920 --> 0:15:02.800
<v Speaker 1>like dogs to track pe. We already got the first.

0:15:03.840 --> 0:15:06.400
<v Speaker 1>Everyone's talking about the vacan head chips and including me.

0:15:06.640 --> 0:15:08.400
<v Speaker 1>Somebody point out a very other point. You got a

0:15:08.400 --> 0:15:11.960
<v Speaker 1>cell phone, you got Internet, you got cable, you already chick.

0:15:12.000 --> 0:15:14.080
<v Speaker 1>They already knew exactly what you are and which watch

0:15:14.120 --> 0:15:15.680
<v Speaker 1>and all of that. I'm sure they're going to get

0:15:15.760 --> 0:15:18.120
<v Speaker 1>lots of sales from that, though, I'm sure of it.

0:15:18.120 --> 0:15:19.520
<v Speaker 1>It's going to be interesting to see where that go,

0:15:19.600 --> 0:15:22.160
<v Speaker 1>especially in relationships. You just casually hug your boyfriend and

0:15:22.200 --> 0:15:23.640
<v Speaker 1>maybe just put it on the back of something he

0:15:23.680 --> 0:15:25.440
<v Speaker 1>doesn't realize it, and then all of a sudden you

0:15:25.480 --> 0:15:27.800
<v Speaker 1>got a track where he went the mileage. And so

0:15:27.880 --> 0:15:30.040
<v Speaker 1>the idea is that, you know, I'm getting one from

0:15:30.040 --> 0:15:33.040
<v Speaker 1>my mom because in the house misplacing keys with myself,

0:15:33.080 --> 0:15:35.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, have mine on my little key ring so

0:15:35.080 --> 0:15:37.280
<v Speaker 1>that I don't lose my keys or misplace my keys.

0:15:37.680 --> 0:15:41.000
<v Speaker 1>Have that. No, as long as you have any Apple

0:15:41.040 --> 0:15:43.280
<v Speaker 1>device so you can track it also from your laptop.

0:15:43.640 --> 0:15:49.280
<v Speaker 1>Like I know, it's not Android, it's not Universal. Look

0:15:49.280 --> 0:15:52.000
<v Speaker 1>at my Alpha's gonna definitely down and keep it in

0:15:52.000 --> 0:15:54.480
<v Speaker 1>the house. I'm not into apples. I like bananas. I

0:15:54.560 --> 0:15:58.880
<v Speaker 1>mean I like Android, and I just yes, Miss Harriet

0:15:58.960 --> 0:16:01.880
<v Speaker 1>is called air Tang air Tag and uh, they dropped

0:16:01.920 --> 0:16:06.840
<v Speaker 1>him last week, so they bucks you know, I like

0:16:06.880 --> 0:16:08.280
<v Speaker 1>a little gadget. I want to I want to be

0:16:08.320 --> 0:16:09.840
<v Speaker 1>able to be able to find my way back home

0:16:09.880 --> 0:16:17.800
<v Speaker 1>to YouTube. We also kind of if you don't want

0:16:17.800 --> 0:16:19.440
<v Speaker 1>to open up to the flames just said, we talked

0:16:19.440 --> 0:16:22.080
<v Speaker 1>about rent Lauren Fleman. I were just sitting here yesterday.

0:16:22.320 --> 0:16:24.560
<v Speaker 1>Um well, I had also just read an article about

0:16:24.560 --> 0:16:28.840
<v Speaker 1>a landlord and Tacoma and what he's been doing. Um

0:16:28.840 --> 0:16:32.200
<v Speaker 1>this landlord in Tacoma, I'm sorry, in Lancaster, Lancaster p

0:16:32.360 --> 0:16:36.320
<v Speaker 1>A he has free painted the property showing the tenant's

0:16:36.520 --> 0:16:40.280
<v Speaker 1>name and rent because since last year, how much they

0:16:40.280 --> 0:16:45.320
<v Speaker 1>oh so was his property? So he and he's simply saying, hey,

0:16:45.560 --> 0:16:47.480
<v Speaker 1>not even so much to shame the tenant as much

0:16:47.520 --> 0:16:50.200
<v Speaker 1>as government. You keep telling people they don't need to

0:16:50.200 --> 0:16:52.920
<v Speaker 1>pay rent. This is how much I'm old. This is

0:16:52.920 --> 0:16:56.240
<v Speaker 1>why I can't pay my property tax because I'm not

0:16:56.280 --> 0:16:58.920
<v Speaker 1>getting collecting rent. The government needs to make a decision.

0:16:59.040 --> 0:17:01.760
<v Speaker 1>Quit letting this to is tabulate tabulate without letting us

0:17:01.800 --> 0:17:03.960
<v Speaker 1>know what an end date is. So the question is

0:17:04.000 --> 0:17:05.600
<v Speaker 1>kind of twofold, and I want to open this up

0:17:05.640 --> 0:17:10.160
<v Speaker 1>to the flame. Mats Lady Allison, okay to do that?

0:17:10.280 --> 0:17:12.800
<v Speaker 1>As a property owner, do you have the right to

0:17:13.560 --> 0:17:16.880
<v Speaker 1>display what you are old on property that you own

0:17:17.200 --> 0:17:19.040
<v Speaker 1>or do you feel like a line needs to be

0:17:19.080 --> 0:17:22.280
<v Speaker 1>drawn because it's shaming the tenant. I mean, personally, I

0:17:22.280 --> 0:17:24.280
<v Speaker 1>don't have a problem if you want to display that,

0:17:24.359 --> 0:17:26.480
<v Speaker 1>oh you have this amount of money owed. I think

0:17:26.520 --> 0:17:29.760
<v Speaker 1>putting the tenants business out for the world to see

0:17:29.880 --> 0:17:33.320
<v Speaker 1>is not okay at all. I don't think he should

0:17:33.320 --> 0:17:35.639
<v Speaker 1>be doing that, But I'm just confused on what this.

0:17:35.920 --> 0:17:38.080
<v Speaker 1>I think COVID as a whole has really just thrown

0:17:38.119 --> 0:17:40.159
<v Speaker 1>everybody for a lootle because I'm confused on what the

0:17:40.200 --> 0:17:42.920
<v Speaker 1>process is like, I don't understand how you know tenants

0:17:43.000 --> 0:17:45.680
<v Speaker 1>or I'm sorry, property owners aren't being subsidized if they're

0:17:45.680 --> 0:17:48.159
<v Speaker 1>not being paid rent. That just it just seems like

0:17:48.320 --> 0:17:50.280
<v Speaker 1>people would really didn't think to see that's why something

0:17:50.280 --> 0:17:52.240
<v Speaker 1>you probably own it should have took Section nate because

0:17:52.280 --> 0:17:54.119
<v Speaker 1>guess what you still was gonna get your rent at

0:17:54.160 --> 0:18:00.720
<v Speaker 1>least most stuff. Allison, Hi, Allison, to lady m. This

0:18:00.800 --> 0:18:04.600
<v Speaker 1>is Alison, Alison Lewis. She's running for city council in Lakeland, Florida.

0:18:04.640 --> 0:18:07.639
<v Speaker 1>So please follow her donate to her. She got great politics,

0:18:07.680 --> 0:18:11.840
<v Speaker 1>policies and politics. She's young, she's educated. She's also a

0:18:11.880 --> 0:18:14.639
<v Speaker 1>teacher of our kids. Allison, what you think about this

0:18:14.680 --> 0:18:16.920
<v Speaker 1>whole rent moratory and what y'all doing about that down

0:18:16.960 --> 0:18:20.639
<v Speaker 1>there in Florida. So so you have to understand, you know,

0:18:20.760 --> 0:18:24.320
<v Speaker 1>because different states have different statues. Understand that, ladies and gentlemen,

0:18:24.760 --> 0:18:30.000
<v Speaker 1>and and and make the make your states statues your friend, right,

0:18:30.080 --> 0:18:32.639
<v Speaker 1>because here in florida's called the Florida Statutes, right, and

0:18:32.680 --> 0:18:35.919
<v Speaker 1>they have landlord and tenants and so again as I

0:18:35.960 --> 0:18:38.919
<v Speaker 1>was sharing with Nick on yesterday. You know, of course,

0:18:38.960 --> 0:18:42.040
<v Speaker 1>the government did not and we as people, some of us,

0:18:42.119 --> 0:18:45.359
<v Speaker 1>did not go in and read the totality of the

0:18:45.400 --> 0:18:48.520
<v Speaker 1>memorandum that was put out as it relates to the

0:18:48.680 --> 0:18:51.320
<v Speaker 1>order how it was going to go. Yes, they can

0:18:51.520 --> 0:18:55.280
<v Speaker 1>collect uh, your rent of what's being old because you

0:18:55.320 --> 0:18:57.800
<v Speaker 1>owe that. That's in the contract in which you sign. Right,

0:18:58.119 --> 0:19:01.200
<v Speaker 1>and understand, there's a process to viction if you don't

0:19:01.200 --> 0:19:03.639
<v Speaker 1>pay your wrink for two months. Allison just can't go

0:19:03.720 --> 0:19:06.840
<v Speaker 1>down to the courthouse and foul an eviction. I have

0:19:06.960 --> 0:19:10.400
<v Speaker 1>to give you certified notice. I didn't have to give

0:19:10.440 --> 0:19:13.840
<v Speaker 1>you three days. Right, there is a process to the

0:19:13.880 --> 0:19:16.440
<v Speaker 1>city eviction. And then when you get to the eviction

0:19:17.000 --> 0:19:20.800
<v Speaker 1>me now it becomes a plaintive and defended situation. Right,

0:19:20.840 --> 0:19:24.800
<v Speaker 1>we're in a litigation and so I have to foul responses.

0:19:25.080 --> 0:19:27.960
<v Speaker 1>So again, ladies and gentlemen, before you get to eviction,

0:19:28.000 --> 0:19:30.439
<v Speaker 1>before you get in front of a judge, you have

0:19:30.640 --> 0:19:33.359
<v Speaker 1>at least by thirty forty eight days to squash it

0:19:33.480 --> 0:19:36.080
<v Speaker 1>with your tenant. Well, Alison, my question would be though,

0:19:36.080 --> 0:19:38.399
<v Speaker 1>because you said that there's like a thirty to forty

0:19:38.400 --> 0:19:40.639
<v Speaker 1>eight day period where you can kind of squash whatever

0:19:40.680 --> 0:19:42.679
<v Speaker 1>is going on if you have some disputes between the

0:19:42.720 --> 0:19:45.600
<v Speaker 1>tenant and the property owner, but can you give some

0:19:45.680 --> 0:19:48.520
<v Speaker 1>insight to what happens after that time period? If the

0:19:48.760 --> 0:19:52.320
<v Speaker 1>conflict is not resolved, what happens then, well what happens

0:19:52.359 --> 0:19:55.840
<v Speaker 1>then then you proceed to court? Right? So between okay

0:19:55.960 --> 0:20:00.400
<v Speaker 1>for so for the okay? As an owner, right, I

0:20:00.440 --> 0:20:03.200
<v Speaker 1>can't just say even though say, Lauren, I can use

0:20:03.240 --> 0:20:06.520
<v Speaker 1>you for an example, owes me five thousand dollars in red, Right,

0:20:07.119 --> 0:20:10.480
<v Speaker 1>I can't go to the Pope County Park of Court

0:20:10.920 --> 0:20:14.280
<v Speaker 1>and fileing me viction against you, Lauren. I have to

0:20:14.440 --> 0:20:17.680
<v Speaker 1>immediately send you notice with your three day notice in

0:20:17.720 --> 0:20:21.960
<v Speaker 1>the mail certified. Right. Those are steps, right, and then

0:20:22.040 --> 0:20:24.280
<v Speaker 1>once that's not resolved, then I can move to the

0:20:24.280 --> 0:20:28.000
<v Speaker 1>eviction process. Then it becomes what you call litigation. Right,

0:20:28.280 --> 0:20:31.679
<v Speaker 1>and that I you are are granted to file a response,

0:20:31.960 --> 0:20:35.480
<v Speaker 1>and you have most courts give you about about thirty

0:20:35.560 --> 0:20:38.880
<v Speaker 1>days to respond to it. Um, I'm gonna saying lately

0:20:38.880 --> 0:20:41.879
<v Speaker 1>it's seven or fourteen days, but I'm for to be

0:20:41.960 --> 0:20:44.400
<v Speaker 1>on the safe side, thirty I'm gonna say thirty days,

0:20:44.400 --> 0:20:47.560
<v Speaker 1>twenty to thirty days and you have to file a response.

0:20:47.800 --> 0:20:51.720
<v Speaker 1>Now you don't respond those that no response within that time, right,

0:20:51.960 --> 0:20:54.120
<v Speaker 1>then it's just the open case and then you all

0:20:54.200 --> 0:20:57.280
<v Speaker 1>really perceive the court. But if you file a response,

0:20:57.640 --> 0:21:00.240
<v Speaker 1>do understand the judge has to read all this up

0:21:00.440 --> 0:21:02.399
<v Speaker 1>and then you both have to come to court. Did

0:21:02.480 --> 0:21:05.280
<v Speaker 1>judges at a court date? Right? You both have to

0:21:05.320 --> 0:21:07.800
<v Speaker 1>come to court and make an argument, and then the

0:21:07.880 --> 0:21:11.320
<v Speaker 1>judge determines, hey, do you owe him right? Or how

0:21:11.320 --> 0:21:13.560
<v Speaker 1>are we gonna how are we gonna do right before

0:21:13.600 --> 0:21:16.680
<v Speaker 1>they could perceive. But if you don't respond, um, if

0:21:16.720 --> 0:21:19.040
<v Speaker 1>you don't do anything, understand that it could just go

0:21:19.200 --> 0:21:21.520
<v Speaker 1>straight on through. And that's what I think. That's what

0:21:21.560 --> 0:21:24.000
<v Speaker 1>I've been saying. I think it's communication, if you communit.

0:21:24.720 --> 0:21:26.960
<v Speaker 1>I've been re renting for years. I'm renting now. I

0:21:27.000 --> 0:21:28.560
<v Speaker 1>don't even own this house. I would like to bout this.

0:21:28.720 --> 0:21:30.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to bout this house. But you have to

0:21:30.720 --> 0:21:33.280
<v Speaker 1>communicate with your landlord. So if you fall on hard times,

0:21:33.280 --> 0:21:35.080
<v Speaker 1>you can say, hey, look, if I don't know what's

0:21:35.119 --> 0:21:36.800
<v Speaker 1>going on and I don't know what to do, you

0:21:36.920 --> 0:21:39.080
<v Speaker 1>leaving me out in the colde. So even if you

0:21:39.119 --> 0:21:41.720
<v Speaker 1>don't like your landlord, you know and we we have

0:21:41.840 --> 0:21:44.840
<v Speaker 1>those instances, we don't really get along. It's all business.

0:21:44.840 --> 0:21:47.160
<v Speaker 1>For the place I just moved from, it was all business.

0:21:47.160 --> 0:21:50.119
<v Speaker 1>We had no relationship whatsoever, but I communicated with her.

0:21:50.160 --> 0:21:52.159
<v Speaker 1>I never fell on hard times, but if I would have,

0:21:52.200 --> 0:21:54.000
<v Speaker 1>I would have communicated with her and say, hey, look

0:21:54.200 --> 0:21:56.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm working on it. I'm gonna get you. Blacks's kippy.

0:21:56.359 --> 0:21:58.480
<v Speaker 1>But when the pandemic first hit, when we first started

0:21:58.480 --> 0:22:01.240
<v Speaker 1>doing coffee time, I told people, if you have the money,

0:22:01.760 --> 0:22:05.040
<v Speaker 1>pay on your rent, communicate with you. I remember saying

0:22:05.040 --> 0:22:07.280
<v Speaker 1>that when we first started going live, talking about this,

0:22:07.320 --> 0:22:09.520
<v Speaker 1>when this first started happened, when they first instituted, because

0:22:09.520 --> 0:22:11.760
<v Speaker 1>you always said housing needs to be right, because if

0:22:11.800 --> 0:22:14.520
<v Speaker 1>you don't talk to me, and I'm the landlord, I

0:22:14.520 --> 0:22:16.320
<v Speaker 1>don't know what position you live in. And some of

0:22:16.359 --> 0:22:18.399
<v Speaker 1>these landlords depend on the money, like you said, to

0:22:18.440 --> 0:22:23.080
<v Speaker 1>pay property taxes, insurance, upkeep on the property, landscaping. You

0:22:23.119 --> 0:22:25.320
<v Speaker 1>ain't giving me nothing, and you gonna communicate with me.

0:22:25.440 --> 0:22:27.479
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna fail proper paperwork to put you in your

0:22:27.560 --> 0:22:30.200
<v Speaker 1>children now because you ain't told me nothing. You can't

0:22:30.640 --> 0:22:33.000
<v Speaker 1>this problem. Not that not to cut you off, Lane,

0:22:33.000 --> 0:22:35.720
<v Speaker 1>but I'm seeing a lot of comments. Understand, ladies and gentlemen,

0:22:35.760 --> 0:22:40.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm speaking from um, I'm speaking from a I'm speaking

0:22:40.600 --> 0:22:43.840
<v Speaker 1>from Florida's statutes, right, I'm speaking from Florida statues, right,

0:22:44.080 --> 0:22:47.480
<v Speaker 1>And and yes it varies by different states. But I

0:22:47.520 --> 0:22:51.240
<v Speaker 1>totally agree with you, Flane. It is all about ladies

0:22:51.280 --> 0:22:54.320
<v Speaker 1>and gentlemen. It is all about that communication. It's all

0:22:54.359 --> 0:22:57.600
<v Speaker 1>about you doing your own research. And my professor, my

0:22:57.640 --> 0:23:00.760
<v Speaker 1>professors used to always say there is no better research

0:23:00.840 --> 0:23:04.840
<v Speaker 1>than your own, right, get into the and you you know, listen,

0:23:04.920 --> 0:23:08.000
<v Speaker 1>everybody don't go to Everybody don't go to law school, right.

0:23:08.200 --> 0:23:11.359
<v Speaker 1>But I mean it's a lot of us know how

0:23:11.400 --> 0:23:15.320
<v Speaker 1>to read, right, and so understand, just take some time

0:23:15.359 --> 0:23:18.040
<v Speaker 1>to the the read on your leisure, to read your

0:23:18.040 --> 0:23:21.159
<v Speaker 1>statutes on landlord and tenant laws. Take some time to

0:23:21.200 --> 0:23:24.159
<v Speaker 1>read about you know, the school laws that they have

0:23:24.280 --> 0:23:26.800
<v Speaker 1>in there. It's all broken down and so that that

0:23:26.920 --> 0:23:30.560
<v Speaker 1>is again, that is what I encourage you all to do.

0:23:30.760 --> 0:23:33.800
<v Speaker 1>And also just just pay attention, pay attention, hold your

0:23:34.119 --> 0:23:38.040
<v Speaker 1>local officials accountable to inform you about some things, right.

0:23:38.200 --> 0:23:41.359
<v Speaker 1>And they also have programs in your city, right that

0:23:41.520 --> 0:23:45.320
<v Speaker 1>they have to educate people on these things. Uh, contingent

0:23:45.400 --> 0:23:48.000
<v Speaker 1>upon this city because they get money for this. Right,

0:23:48.200 --> 0:23:51.800
<v Speaker 1>understand about these people, the p p P public private partnerships.

0:23:52.080 --> 0:23:55.320
<v Speaker 1>I can't stress that enough, ladies and gentlemen. These public

0:23:55.320 --> 0:23:59.159
<v Speaker 1>private partnerships drives the growth in your city. The healthcare

0:23:59.320 --> 0:24:02.720
<v Speaker 1>drives that, which is your p P public private partnership.

0:24:02.960 --> 0:24:08.000
<v Speaker 1>And what happens is that drives people. I'm not laughing

0:24:08.080 --> 0:24:10.639
<v Speaker 1>at you when you say p p P. I think

0:24:10.680 --> 0:24:12.600
<v Speaker 1>about how many people got a p p P. Now

0:24:12.640 --> 0:24:15.160
<v Speaker 1>you can get that to pay your back red because

0:24:15.200 --> 0:24:18.320
<v Speaker 1>your new rent is gonna be free. If you ain't

0:24:18.320 --> 0:24:19.960
<v Speaker 1>got no business and you take out a p p

0:24:20.040 --> 0:24:23.159
<v Speaker 1>P loan, they got a thirteen back twelve sail waiting

0:24:23.160 --> 0:24:25.640
<v Speaker 1>on you. If you can't that you have a business,

0:24:25.800 --> 0:24:27.919
<v Speaker 1>So you pay your back rent because you're gonna get

0:24:27.960 --> 0:24:31.879
<v Speaker 1>some free rent for about three years. I'm telling y'all,

0:24:32.440 --> 0:24:34.800
<v Speaker 1>ain't nothing for free. I teach my children there is

0:24:34.880 --> 0:24:39.280
<v Speaker 1>absolutely nothing for free, right and I and I toltally so.

0:24:39.280 --> 0:24:42.600
<v Speaker 1>So it's a it's an operation, ladies and gentlemen, and

0:24:42.800 --> 0:24:46.040
<v Speaker 1>to two d and forty six people understand how it operates.

0:24:46.080 --> 0:24:50.360
<v Speaker 1>And that's where our people, black and brown people really perish, right,

0:24:51.119 --> 0:24:55.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, we we we failed to understand how the

0:24:55.560 --> 0:25:00.280
<v Speaker 1>system operates. And so when you understand how the system

0:25:00.320 --> 0:25:02.560
<v Speaker 1>and the totality of the system operates, don you will

0:25:02.560 --> 0:25:06.480
<v Speaker 1>begin to understand some of the totalities in the situations

0:25:06.520 --> 0:25:10.879
<v Speaker 1>that takes place within just within your backyard. Right And

0:25:10.960 --> 0:25:15.000
<v Speaker 1>so do do do do? Understand that? Right? We have

0:25:15.119 --> 0:25:17.920
<v Speaker 1>to understand the system. We have to change the operators

0:25:18.000 --> 0:25:21.960
<v Speaker 1>of the system. Uh that that we're also tired of, right,

0:25:22.000 --> 0:25:24.800
<v Speaker 1>We're tired of this system, you know. But in order

0:25:24.840 --> 0:25:27.960
<v Speaker 1>for the system to change, ladies and gentlemen, we have

0:25:28.040 --> 0:25:30.800
<v Speaker 1>to change the operators. And who are the operators? The

0:25:30.880 --> 0:25:34.760
<v Speaker 1>operators are the ones who we fail to participate in

0:25:34.880 --> 0:25:38.239
<v Speaker 1>voting in our local election, right, you know, so we

0:25:38.280 --> 0:25:40.879
<v Speaker 1>have to we have to we have to understand that. Well,

0:25:40.960 --> 0:25:43.480
<v Speaker 1>I think more all of the story here is of Alison,

0:25:43.520 --> 0:25:45.160
<v Speaker 1>and we can just basically sum up what you're saying

0:25:45.200 --> 0:25:47.760
<v Speaker 1>is do your research, because, like we said, everything from

0:25:47.800 --> 0:25:50.119
<v Speaker 1>Florida to New York to California, every state is different

0:25:50.119 --> 0:25:52.680
<v Speaker 1>when it comes to these rent moratoriums. Do your research,

0:25:52.960 --> 0:25:55.000
<v Speaker 1>make sure you elect the people that you want to elect,

0:25:55.000 --> 0:25:59.919
<v Speaker 1>and is always Thank you so much, Alison forgiving let

0:26:00.000 --> 0:26:02.520
<v Speaker 1>to say, here's the thing, here's the catch on that,

0:26:02.680 --> 0:26:05.800
<v Speaker 1>because if I had been working two jobs, just because

0:26:05.920 --> 0:26:07.880
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people, especially in California or New York

0:26:07.880 --> 0:26:10.440
<v Speaker 1>where the rin is exceptionally high, you work, a lot

0:26:10.440 --> 0:26:12.960
<v Speaker 1>of people are working two regular jobs just to make

0:26:13.119 --> 0:26:15.440
<v Speaker 1>ends me to pay the rent. They spend more time

0:26:15.480 --> 0:26:17.800
<v Speaker 1>at work than they actually did at home. So when

0:26:17.800 --> 0:26:20.440
<v Speaker 1>the unemployment came in, they was getting an additional six

0:26:20.480 --> 0:26:22.879
<v Speaker 1>hundred dollars a week. They were making more money sitting

0:26:22.920 --> 0:26:25.840
<v Speaker 1>on their asses at home than they were both were

0:26:25.840 --> 0:26:28.160
<v Speaker 1>working both those jobs so I can enjoy my house.

0:26:28.440 --> 0:26:31.280
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't go back to work either. People don't people

0:26:31.320 --> 0:26:32.920
<v Speaker 1>that I wouldn't have went back either. But I think

0:26:32.960 --> 0:26:35.040
<v Speaker 1>this also goes back to what we've talked about before,

0:26:35.600 --> 0:26:38.520
<v Speaker 1>that that that responsibility. I feel like, I think it's

0:26:38.520 --> 0:26:40.679
<v Speaker 1>easy to blame those who stayed home because they were

0:26:40.680 --> 0:26:44.040
<v Speaker 1>getting extra money because of pandemic relief. But I would

0:26:44.119 --> 0:26:46.200
<v Speaker 1>argue that companies need to be paying these people more

0:26:46.320 --> 0:26:48.600
<v Speaker 1>to begin with, so that that was so that that

0:26:48.680 --> 0:26:52.200
<v Speaker 1>was not their available option. Right. People don't want to

0:26:52.240 --> 0:26:54.359
<v Speaker 1>not work. I think they are. Most people want to work.

0:26:54.480 --> 0:26:56.920
<v Speaker 1>People enjoy either doing what they do or they find

0:26:56.960 --> 0:26:59.199
<v Speaker 1>something else. I think there are people who enjoy working.

0:26:59.600 --> 0:27:01.720
<v Speaker 1>But to suggest that people don't want to work and

0:27:01.760 --> 0:27:03.320
<v Speaker 1>that those who are not going back to work, like

0:27:03.600 --> 0:27:07.760
<v Speaker 1>some leaders are suggesting, I think it's unfair. I agree

0:27:07.760 --> 0:27:09.320
<v Speaker 1>with that because I think too, in a lot of

0:27:09.359 --> 0:27:13.959
<v Speaker 1>spaces is that the issue as well was, um, some

0:27:14.080 --> 0:27:18.399
<v Speaker 1>of our actual like parents couldn't afford to actually you know,

0:27:19.119 --> 0:27:22.080
<v Speaker 1>they couldn't afford to actually go to work because they

0:27:22.160 --> 0:27:24.840
<v Speaker 1>had issues with childcare and other things like that. So

0:27:24.920 --> 0:27:26.840
<v Speaker 1>it wasn't just people are being lazy. And I think

0:27:26.840 --> 0:27:28.680
<v Speaker 1>that's part of the issue with some of the narratives

0:27:28.720 --> 0:27:30.600
<v Speaker 1>that some of these red state governors are trying to

0:27:31.080 --> 0:27:33.399
<v Speaker 1>drum up as to why they're pulling out of these

0:27:33.440 --> 0:27:36.880
<v Speaker 1>assistant programs for people in particular exactly like like, y'all

0:27:36.880 --> 0:27:38.840
<v Speaker 1>are being lazy and it's not that, but I saw

0:27:38.880 --> 0:27:42.040
<v Speaker 1>some stats like and I think you and I have

0:27:42.080 --> 0:27:45.000
<v Speaker 1>said this before. Even the language lazy is suggestive in

0:27:45.040 --> 0:27:47.359
<v Speaker 1>and of itself, and I've heard my governor use that

0:27:47.800 --> 0:27:50.560
<v Speaker 1>is completely disrespected. But in terms of paying what you

0:27:50.600 --> 0:27:53.480
<v Speaker 1>have to pay, like I think of people's paychecks, like

0:27:53.480 --> 0:27:55.880
<v Speaker 1>in Arkansas goes to childcare, so it wasn't a matter

0:27:55.920 --> 0:27:58.080
<v Speaker 1>of people being lazy. It's just people couldn't afford to

0:27:58.440 --> 0:28:00.920
<v Speaker 1>send their kids to child care and go to work.

0:28:01.000 --> 0:28:03.679
<v Speaker 1>So getting these extra this money was allowing them to

0:28:03.720 --> 0:28:06.160
<v Speaker 1>actually care for their kids and provide for their kids.

0:28:06.880 --> 0:28:09.680
<v Speaker 1>Is the same gop s or the same people who

0:28:09.680 --> 0:28:11.560
<v Speaker 1>were in who was in position of power who didn't

0:28:11.560 --> 0:28:14.200
<v Speaker 1>want to give the minimum wage raise. Are the same

0:28:14.240 --> 0:28:16.760
<v Speaker 1>ones that saying that people are lazy. Don't call me lazy,

0:28:16.760 --> 0:28:18.280
<v Speaker 1>and you don't want to pay me for coming to work.

0:28:18.800 --> 0:28:21.600
<v Speaker 1>This ain't slavery, No, my baby, it ain't free. You

0:28:21.640 --> 0:28:25.200
<v Speaker 1>can't visit the slave quarters without no money, and that

0:28:25.200 --> 0:28:28.520
<v Speaker 1>that inflame. Situations have changed, right. We no longer live

0:28:28.560 --> 0:28:31.560
<v Speaker 1>and grow up in the same communities like our parents did. Right,

0:28:31.760 --> 0:28:35.359
<v Speaker 1>there was a time when you knew, uh, Mrs Miller

0:28:35.400 --> 0:28:37.600
<v Speaker 1>down the street, Mrs Jackson, watched the kids who came

0:28:37.600 --> 0:28:40.080
<v Speaker 1>home from school. We have all moved, We've lived in

0:28:40.120 --> 0:28:42.880
<v Speaker 1>different areas. Communities are split up there not the same

0:28:42.880 --> 0:28:45.080
<v Speaker 1>way that they used to be. So now your parents

0:28:45.080 --> 0:28:46.760
<v Speaker 1>who are working and have to find a way to

0:28:46.800 --> 0:28:49.160
<v Speaker 1>care for those children, what do you do? You know

0:28:49.200 --> 0:28:52.280
<v Speaker 1>you've got to You've got childcare is childcare is more

0:28:52.320 --> 0:28:56.720
<v Speaker 1>expensive than rent. Childcare is no joke. When you sit

0:28:56.760 --> 0:28:58.520
<v Speaker 1>back and you're just friends who are paying for childcare,

0:28:58.560 --> 0:29:01.440
<v Speaker 1>you're like, how much? Whoa can you? Can you do

0:29:01.480 --> 0:29:03.760
<v Speaker 1>two for one, you know, since they're watching both your kids.

0:29:03.920 --> 0:29:06.280
<v Speaker 1>But that's not the way it works at all at all.

0:29:06.920 --> 0:29:10.160
<v Speaker 1>It is prohibitive for many parents to try to work

0:29:10.280 --> 0:29:13.000
<v Speaker 1>and also for childcare. So yeah, definitely something has to

0:29:13.040 --> 0:29:14.800
<v Speaker 1>be done. So you think people should say home, don't think.

0:29:15.480 --> 0:29:17.000
<v Speaker 1>I think that we need to do more where we

0:29:17.040 --> 0:29:20.239
<v Speaker 1>are working collectively. The minimum wage should be raised, and

0:29:21.000 --> 0:29:23.280
<v Speaker 1>that's that's the foundation of this. As if the minimum

0:29:23.280 --> 0:29:26.080
<v Speaker 1>wage was raised, and even in some states like California

0:29:26.120 --> 0:29:27.920
<v Speaker 1>or New York, we have one of the highest minimum

0:29:27.960 --> 0:29:30.560
<v Speaker 1>wages and it's still too expensive to live. What do

0:29:30.600 --> 0:29:33.600
<v Speaker 1>you do forty hours a week? You can't afford rent?

0:29:33.720 --> 0:29:35.760
<v Speaker 1>Thank you, that's ridiculous. You still got a child to

0:29:35.800 --> 0:29:37.920
<v Speaker 1>take care of. So I think, as a at a minimum,

0:29:37.920 --> 0:29:40.200
<v Speaker 1>the minimum wage needs to be raised and housing needs

0:29:40.200 --> 0:29:42.200
<v Speaker 1>to be more affordable. Those two things go hand in

0:29:42.200 --> 0:29:44.520
<v Speaker 1>hand at this point. I remember my rent. When I

0:29:44.520 --> 0:29:46.560
<v Speaker 1>was renting one of my places in San Francisco, my

0:29:46.600 --> 0:29:50.000
<v Speaker 1>mother came to visit. My rent was one bedroom, uh,

0:29:50.400 --> 0:29:53.160
<v Speaker 1>one bedroom bucks a month. Mom. I said, oh, you

0:29:53.200 --> 0:29:57.560
<v Speaker 1>gotta live all fancy, and I'm like, uh, this is

0:29:57.720 --> 0:30:00.560
<v Speaker 1>not at all. But rents are so different then what

0:30:00.920 --> 0:30:04.760
<v Speaker 1>they paid back. And you know when my mother was like, Mom,

0:30:04.880 --> 0:30:07.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm telling you, that's how exorbitant rents have become in

0:30:07.880 --> 0:30:10.800
<v Speaker 1>the state of California. It's ridiculous New York, New York.

0:30:11.560 --> 0:30:14.560
<v Speaker 1>You agree, you cannot find You would be hard pressed

0:30:14.640 --> 0:30:17.720
<v Speaker 1>to find a clean one bedroom four thousand bucks in California.

0:30:17.800 --> 0:30:23.520
<v Speaker 1>You can. Okay, Yeah. I think people think I'm being

0:30:23.520 --> 0:30:25.400
<v Speaker 1>They're like, oh, you're just trying to be all and

0:30:25.440 --> 0:30:28.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm telling you that's not the case. California is ridiculous.

0:30:28.280 --> 0:30:30.280
<v Speaker 1>New York as well. A shoe box is at least

0:30:30.280 --> 0:30:32.600
<v Speaker 1>two were in a month, at least New York. We're

0:30:32.600 --> 0:30:34.840
<v Speaker 1>talking about moms earlier and just people paying rent. There

0:30:34.880 --> 0:30:36.200
<v Speaker 1>was another story that came up that I want to

0:30:36.280 --> 0:30:38.640
<v Speaker 1>kind of segue to that that was interesting. Um and

0:30:38.720 --> 0:30:41.360
<v Speaker 1>Laurence kind of touches into your area simply because you

0:30:41.400 --> 0:30:45.040
<v Speaker 1>did play sports. Who are an athlete growing up? Volleyball team.

0:30:45.080 --> 0:30:48.400
<v Speaker 1>A coach on the volleyball team, UH was told she

0:30:48.440 --> 0:30:51.320
<v Speaker 1>had to leave because she went into the lobby to nurse.

0:30:51.400 --> 0:30:53.760
<v Speaker 1>This is in Colorado. Um, so her mom had a

0:30:53.800 --> 0:30:55.720
<v Speaker 1>new baby and she wanted to nurse her baby. This

0:30:55.800 --> 0:30:58.480
<v Speaker 1>is she just wants simply nurse on the sidelines because

0:30:58.480 --> 0:31:01.400
<v Speaker 1>she's coaching the team. Uh, disqualified her, told her she

0:31:01.440 --> 0:31:04.240
<v Speaker 1>had to leave, and they disqualified the team because nursing

0:31:04.360 --> 0:31:09.040
<v Speaker 1>they found to be pornographic and not acceptable. This is Colorado.

0:31:09.480 --> 0:31:11.720
<v Speaker 1>This is Colorado. And I'm just surprised by that because

0:31:11.720 --> 0:31:14.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm thinking, this is this shouldn't even be an issue now.

0:31:14.480 --> 0:31:17.520
<v Speaker 1>Volleyball coach was asked to sit out the tournament because

0:31:17.560 --> 0:31:22.240
<v Speaker 1>you're not not that, not that Oh yeah, yeah yeah.

0:31:22.800 --> 0:31:26.760
<v Speaker 1>Coach sat outside convention center after tournament director bars her

0:31:26.840 --> 0:31:33.280
<v Speaker 1>from nursing her infant um. Yeah so they. I think

0:31:33.360 --> 0:31:35.959
<v Speaker 1>it's ridiculous and that people need to get over women

0:31:36.240 --> 0:31:39.600
<v Speaker 1>nursing in public. Like, we bring you life. The only

0:31:39.600 --> 0:31:41.200
<v Speaker 1>reason why you're here is because of us, So just

0:31:41.280 --> 0:31:42.800
<v Speaker 1>respect us, Let us do what we gotta do to

0:31:42.880 --> 0:31:45.400
<v Speaker 1>nurture and bring up life, and just move on. I'm

0:31:45.480 --> 0:31:47.560
<v Speaker 1>really sick of that because we're having so many issues

0:31:47.600 --> 0:31:50.880
<v Speaker 1>around women like I saw this morning. Mississippi is going

0:31:51.040 --> 0:31:55.200
<v Speaker 1>to this abortion case to the Supreme Court. It's just women.

0:31:55.880 --> 0:31:58.040
<v Speaker 1>We really rule the world, and just respect us and

0:31:58.080 --> 0:31:59.640
<v Speaker 1>let us do what we need to do. I'm so

0:31:59.680 --> 0:32:02.840
<v Speaker 1>sick of the hypocrisy of them canceling that woman because

0:32:02.880 --> 0:32:05.120
<v Speaker 1>they thought she was doing some pointographic by taking her

0:32:05.120 --> 0:32:08.040
<v Speaker 1>baby into the lobby, when slave black women had to

0:32:08.040 --> 0:32:09.680
<v Speaker 1>pick out on the field and pull their titty out

0:32:09.720 --> 0:32:13.840
<v Speaker 1>in front of everybody to feed your baby right now,

0:32:14.200 --> 0:32:17.960
<v Speaker 1>and this was a white woman. And you know what

0:32:18.680 --> 0:32:27.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm leaving. I don't know if we want to get

0:32:27.640 --> 0:32:29.800
<v Speaker 1>into the deep topic that we talked about, because we

0:32:29.840 --> 0:32:31.360
<v Speaker 1>are talking about kids right now. This might be a

0:32:31.400 --> 0:32:36.360
<v Speaker 1>good segue to talk about what's happening in the Middle East. Yes,

0:32:36.600 --> 0:32:38.840
<v Speaker 1>because we started this morning invest We're gonna bring best

0:32:38.880 --> 0:32:41.320
<v Speaker 1>for in on this because Vestler was very passionate about

0:32:41.320 --> 0:32:43.680
<v Speaker 1>invest put your hair on baby, were bringing you in,

0:32:44.160 --> 0:32:47.880
<v Speaker 1>was very passionate about the conversation this morning about what's

0:32:47.920 --> 0:32:50.600
<v Speaker 1>happening with the it Israeli and Palestines over in the

0:32:50.640 --> 0:32:54.480
<v Speaker 1>Middle East. And it is not a topic of expertise

0:32:54.560 --> 0:32:58.960
<v Speaker 1>for me because but think I've got my thoughts are

0:32:59.600 --> 0:33:02.400
<v Speaker 1>that I'm so sorry and it's such a tragic thing.

0:33:02.440 --> 0:33:04.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm watching the news, I'm sending them finding babies and

0:33:04.960 --> 0:33:07.640
<v Speaker 1>and then women everything up under the rubble. And I

0:33:07.640 --> 0:33:10.200
<v Speaker 1>don't want to sound hardless or as if I don't care,

0:33:10.560 --> 0:33:12.960
<v Speaker 1>but I kind of don't. I kind of want you

0:33:13.000 --> 0:33:16.120
<v Speaker 1>all to fix the problems in America first with black people,

0:33:16.360 --> 0:33:17.760
<v Speaker 1>before you tell me I need to go over to

0:33:17.760 --> 0:33:19.640
<v Speaker 1>these people back, y'all to help them fix their ship.

0:33:20.240 --> 0:33:23.200
<v Speaker 1>Listen to me if I if they and their homes

0:33:23.280 --> 0:33:26.040
<v Speaker 1>being blown up by bomb because they made it over religion.

0:33:26.240 --> 0:33:28.160
<v Speaker 1>If if me and Nick gets stopped at the stop

0:33:28.200 --> 0:33:30.280
<v Speaker 1>saying right now, they're gonna see two black men in

0:33:30.280 --> 0:33:32.880
<v Speaker 1>the car, they might open fire because and my cause

0:33:32.920 --> 0:33:37.320
<v Speaker 1>are completely legit. I'm tagged, licensed, insured and everything. And

0:33:37.360 --> 0:33:41.760
<v Speaker 1>I drive like a maniac, but I drive legally. But

0:33:42.360 --> 0:33:45.120
<v Speaker 1>I kind of I don't want to sound hardless and say,

0:33:45.200 --> 0:33:47.800
<v Speaker 1>but fix America first, before you're going over there trying

0:33:47.800 --> 0:33:50.240
<v Speaker 1>to fix somebody else ship first, Right before you start,

0:33:50.280 --> 0:33:52.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm just gonna let us share our points really quickly.

0:33:52.320 --> 0:33:54.200
<v Speaker 1>We'll bring you into Nick go ahead. Yeah, I think

0:33:54.680 --> 0:33:56.920
<v Speaker 1>my issues this because I've gotten a lot of d

0:33:57.080 --> 0:33:59.160
<v Speaker 1>M s. Hey, you guys really need to talk about this,

0:33:59.240 --> 0:34:01.880
<v Speaker 1>you really need to talk of this. I've been UM,

0:34:02.000 --> 0:34:07.640
<v Speaker 1>I've been purposely uh restrained in my comments simply because

0:34:07.960 --> 0:34:10.120
<v Speaker 1>it is not an area of expertise for me. It

0:34:10.239 --> 0:34:13.280
<v Speaker 1>is not something because I do believe it's much more

0:34:13.400 --> 0:34:16.879
<v Speaker 1>than we in the media tend to UM. We tend

0:34:16.920 --> 0:34:19.759
<v Speaker 1>to try to find both sides to every story. And

0:34:19.800 --> 0:34:23.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure that this is proportional. I don't know that, um.

0:34:24.080 --> 0:34:28.120
<v Speaker 1>Israel that operates under a dome, which is literally called

0:34:28.160 --> 0:34:31.719
<v Speaker 1>the dome, because they have the ability to deflect much

0:34:31.760 --> 0:34:34.799
<v Speaker 1>of the armory coming in from Palestine to them, So

0:34:34.840 --> 0:34:40.279
<v Speaker 1>it's not proportional. Uh, the amount of ammunition destruction that

0:34:40.400 --> 0:34:44.960
<v Speaker 1>Israel is able to impose upon the Palestinians is not proportional.

0:34:45.600 --> 0:34:48.080
<v Speaker 1>That having been said, the United States has always had

0:34:48.080 --> 0:34:50.440
<v Speaker 1>a long stands where we just stand with Israel and

0:34:50.480 --> 0:34:53.720
<v Speaker 1>we kind of dismiss everything else. I think that's shifting.

0:34:54.120 --> 0:34:56.640
<v Speaker 1>I think that a lot of progressive Democrats have been

0:34:56.640 --> 0:35:00.160
<v Speaker 1>pushing back on that stands that um that America has

0:35:00.200 --> 0:35:05.120
<v Speaker 1>long held, specifically Bernie Sanders and Alexandra Cassio Cortez. So

0:35:05.160 --> 0:35:07.360
<v Speaker 1>when we have not spoken about this is not because

0:35:07.600 --> 0:35:10.719
<v Speaker 1>we don't have compassion and and empathy for those who

0:35:10.760 --> 0:35:12.960
<v Speaker 1>are struggling, because no one should have to live like that.

0:35:13.320 --> 0:35:15.319
<v Speaker 1>But that is not an area where I have spent

0:35:15.520 --> 0:35:18.279
<v Speaker 1>enough time to give a whitewashed answer on what I

0:35:18.320 --> 0:35:20.720
<v Speaker 1>think needs to happen, because I'm not a policy expert.

0:35:20.880 --> 0:35:23.080
<v Speaker 1>But what I do know is that what is happening

0:35:23.120 --> 0:35:26.240
<v Speaker 1>right now is not proportional and something needs to change

0:35:26.280 --> 0:35:33.719
<v Speaker 1>because there are innocent people getting decimated in the crossfire. Okay,

0:35:34.280 --> 0:35:36.439
<v Speaker 1>I'm I'm gonna say what I gotta say, and it's

0:35:36.480 --> 0:35:38.680
<v Speaker 1>not that I'm an expert in this field. I'm not

0:35:38.719 --> 0:35:40.279
<v Speaker 1>about to sit up here and say that I am.

0:35:40.400 --> 0:35:43.520
<v Speaker 1>But these are my feelings. Though. What I feel Invester,

0:35:43.600 --> 0:35:45.160
<v Speaker 1>we see you, We're gonna bring you in just a second.

0:35:45.560 --> 0:35:49.319
<v Speaker 1>What I feel is, yes, are do does something needs

0:35:49.320 --> 0:35:52.880
<v Speaker 1>to happen in America for black people? Absolutely agree with

0:35:52.920 --> 0:35:55.879
<v Speaker 1>you on that flame. My issue is, though, I think

0:35:55.960 --> 0:35:59.239
<v Speaker 1>for the United States to stand by and not do

0:35:59.320 --> 0:36:03.040
<v Speaker 1>anything is completely wrong because we've added to this issue

0:36:03.080 --> 0:36:06.319
<v Speaker 1>if we're going to talk about it. Okay, Palestine has

0:36:06.400 --> 0:36:08.880
<v Speaker 1>the one of the oldest religions pretty much in the

0:36:08.880 --> 0:36:11.520
<v Speaker 1>world at this point. They have, and the United States

0:36:11.640 --> 0:36:15.239
<v Speaker 1>was a part of assisting in Israel taking and overtaking them.

0:36:15.280 --> 0:36:18.360
<v Speaker 1>They're they're colonizing them. That's what's happening, similar to what

0:36:18.400 --> 0:36:21.480
<v Speaker 1>happened in this country when you've talked about the Cristopher

0:36:21.520 --> 0:36:24.319
<v Speaker 1>Columbus and everybody else that came over this America was colonized.

0:36:24.520 --> 0:36:29.000
<v Speaker 1>So the US assisted in Israel colonizing Palestine, and now

0:36:29.000 --> 0:36:31.799
<v Speaker 1>we're seeing a new blow up because of it. So

0:36:31.880 --> 0:36:33.400
<v Speaker 1>for us to sit back and be idle and not

0:36:33.480 --> 0:36:35.520
<v Speaker 1>do anything I think is real see irresponsible. And then

0:36:35.560 --> 0:36:37.680
<v Speaker 1>once we gave you your places, we're like, well, we

0:36:37.719 --> 0:36:40.759
<v Speaker 1>need to move you again, So now we're taking land

0:36:40.800 --> 0:36:42.560
<v Speaker 1>back from me that we had given you. So how

0:36:42.600 --> 0:36:45.000
<v Speaker 1>do you feel as a Palestinian when this continues to

0:36:45.040 --> 0:36:48.480
<v Speaker 1>happen time and time again, and every policy seems to

0:36:48.520 --> 0:36:52.120
<v Speaker 1>favor Israel and keep a certain group continuously oppressed. All

0:36:52.120 --> 0:36:54.880
<v Speaker 1>we're doing is assisting in colonizing them. And so for

0:36:54.960 --> 0:36:57.240
<v Speaker 1>us not to send any assistance and not to do anything,

0:36:57.280 --> 0:37:01.200
<v Speaker 1>I think is absolutely irresponsible and wrong. Palestine, they had

0:37:01.239 --> 0:37:03.960
<v Speaker 1>their place in the world and they keep being pushed.

0:37:04.000 --> 0:37:06.320
<v Speaker 1>You have people being murdered, you have children being murdered,

0:37:06.680 --> 0:37:10.360
<v Speaker 1>and Israel is a percent wrong. Bottom line, that's my feelings.

0:37:12.160 --> 0:37:16.759
<v Speaker 1>What you get see, I'm not an expert on this either.

0:37:17.080 --> 0:37:20.719
<v Speaker 1>I've done my own research. Um, I have dyslexia, so

0:37:20.840 --> 0:37:24.000
<v Speaker 1>it's it's hard for me to read. But I picked

0:37:24.080 --> 0:37:27.920
<v Speaker 1>up the audio book that Jimmy Carter. Okay, he called

0:37:28.360 --> 0:37:33.080
<v Speaker 1>this apartime. It was he called this apartheid when this

0:37:33.480 --> 0:37:38.439
<v Speaker 1>was taboo and he got canceled for it, but he's

0:37:38.480 --> 0:37:42.000
<v Speaker 1>still I've always agreed with Jimmy carter stance on this.

0:37:42.239 --> 0:37:47.480
<v Speaker 1>And the thing about it is we are their biggest ally,

0:37:47.520 --> 0:37:49.680
<v Speaker 1>we are the one that is advocating for them in

0:37:49.760 --> 0:37:52.880
<v Speaker 1>the u N. We are letting them have carte blanch

0:37:53.160 --> 0:37:57.600
<v Speaker 1>on everything that they want to do and flaim. You're right, like,

0:37:57.640 --> 0:37:59.720
<v Speaker 1>we have to fix our own stuff. It's it's really

0:37:59.719 --> 0:38:03.560
<v Speaker 1>hard for us as as a country to condemn another

0:38:03.560 --> 0:38:07.040
<v Speaker 1>country for doing something that we're already doing. And my

0:38:07.120 --> 0:38:10.160
<v Speaker 1>biggest point that I really want to make is killing

0:38:10.200 --> 0:38:15.080
<v Speaker 1>of anyone is barbaric and it has to stop period.

0:38:17.360 --> 0:38:20.719
<v Speaker 1>Like yeah, I mean and for me, you know what,

0:38:20.840 --> 0:38:23.319
<v Speaker 1>I opened up this kind of worms earlier. All I

0:38:23.360 --> 0:38:25.560
<v Speaker 1>was bringing up was the fact that John ass Off

0:38:25.880 --> 0:38:31.160
<v Speaker 1>and twenty eight other senators actually stood up and said,

0:38:31.360 --> 0:38:33.759
<v Speaker 1>you know, we want to cease fire. And for me,

0:38:33.840 --> 0:38:36.560
<v Speaker 1>that's kind of like, you know, the bare minimum. But

0:38:36.640 --> 0:38:39.239
<v Speaker 1>it it's a big deal. It's a very big deal

0:38:39.360 --> 0:38:42.800
<v Speaker 1>for senators to actually stand up and speak out against

0:38:42.800 --> 0:38:45.640
<v Speaker 1>the Israeli stating what they're doing to the Palestinian people.

0:38:45.960 --> 0:38:49.359
<v Speaker 1>And for me, this isn't about religion at all. Like

0:38:49.680 --> 0:38:51.919
<v Speaker 1>you can look at it from that side, but it's

0:38:51.960 --> 0:38:55.080
<v Speaker 1>really not. It's about politics. I have a lot of

0:38:55.160 --> 0:38:58.719
<v Speaker 1>Jewish friends, I have a lot of Palestinian friends. It

0:38:58.760 --> 0:39:03.200
<v Speaker 1>doesn't matter. Killing is wrong and that's all it needs

0:39:03.239 --> 0:39:05.359
<v Speaker 1>to Like, if we just stick to that point, that's

0:39:05.400 --> 0:39:08.400
<v Speaker 1>all that matters, because all of the other arguments fall apart,

0:39:09.400 --> 0:39:12.520
<v Speaker 1>So we just have Jericho just entered the chat. Welcome Jericho,

0:39:12.640 --> 0:39:15.719
<v Speaker 1>Thank you so much for coming in. So I'm sure

0:39:15.760 --> 0:39:17.719
<v Speaker 1>you've been listening. I've we've seen you guys, we've seen

0:39:17.760 --> 0:39:20.440
<v Speaker 1>your comments. Rather, so please give us your insight to this.

0:39:20.880 --> 0:39:23.279
<v Speaker 1>What do you think? So I want to thank you

0:39:23.320 --> 0:39:25.920
<v Speaker 1>first for allowing me to join your feed, because oftentimes

0:39:26.000 --> 0:39:29.320
<v Speaker 1>we are talked about, but we're not included in the conversations.

0:39:29.719 --> 0:39:32.080
<v Speaker 1>Um and so I have to push back very hard

0:39:32.160 --> 0:39:38.160
<v Speaker 1>about this religious argument because Palestinians are not a religious identity.

0:39:38.239 --> 0:39:41.640
<v Speaker 1>We are an ethnic identity, right, And so before Israel

0:39:41.719 --> 0:39:44.840
<v Speaker 1>was created in ninety eight, we had Palestinian Christians, we

0:39:44.920 --> 0:39:48.239
<v Speaker 1>had Palestinian Jews, we had Palestinian Drews, we had we

0:39:48.320 --> 0:39:52.560
<v Speaker 1>had Christian Palestinian Muslims, and we we co existed, right.

0:39:52.600 --> 0:39:55.600
<v Speaker 1>It was the epicenter of the Middle East where we

0:39:55.600 --> 0:39:57.920
<v Speaker 1>were all able to get along. We shared the culture,

0:39:58.280 --> 0:40:03.600
<v Speaker 1>we shared similar languages. We had our own internal conflict internally,

0:40:03.760 --> 0:40:05.640
<v Speaker 1>like the Muslims had their own issues and the dudes

0:40:05.680 --> 0:40:08.239
<v Speaker 1>had their own issues. But that was internal right, and

0:40:08.280 --> 0:40:12.680
<v Speaker 1>so the religious the religious idea is completely debond. This

0:40:12.760 --> 0:40:15.480
<v Speaker 1>is not a religious conflict, it's an ethnic conflict. The

0:40:15.520 --> 0:40:18.520
<v Speaker 1>second UH point is about the historical piece. Right to

0:40:18.560 --> 0:40:21.480
<v Speaker 1>say that your ancestors lived here two thousand years ago

0:40:21.520 --> 0:40:25.120
<v Speaker 1>and somehow you have a right to be here. Um,

0:40:25.200 --> 0:40:30.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, I think that connects with UH. With the UH. So,

0:40:31.000 --> 0:40:33.160
<v Speaker 1>first of all, I'll make two points around the historical piece.

0:40:33.200 --> 0:40:38.279
<v Speaker 1>The first piece is around UH. If you look at

0:40:38.400 --> 0:40:41.640
<v Speaker 1>the history of the landscape, you will see that it

0:40:41.719 --> 0:40:45.120
<v Speaker 1>has been dominated by so many different people and different powers.

0:40:45.320 --> 0:40:49.600
<v Speaker 1>So to claim that one group has exclusive authority and

0:40:49.719 --> 0:40:54.640
<v Speaker 1>exclusive rights to this land. You have um Romans, and

0:40:54.680 --> 0:40:59.239
<v Speaker 1>you have Egyptians, and you have um uh Arabs and

0:40:59.400 --> 0:41:03.400
<v Speaker 1>Greek and Persians, Babylonians. I mean, there is a laundry

0:41:03.400 --> 0:41:06.200
<v Speaker 1>list of people who have inhabited this land. So to

0:41:06.320 --> 0:41:09.440
<v Speaker 1>clean that one group from the past has a right

0:41:09.520 --> 0:41:13.239
<v Speaker 1>to come in and to and to claim exclusive authority

0:41:13.360 --> 0:41:18.160
<v Speaker 1>and power is absolutely abhorrent. And so I want to

0:41:18.200 --> 0:41:21.600
<v Speaker 1>move now. If if the religious argument is not going

0:41:21.640 --> 0:41:25.160
<v Speaker 1>to work, and the historical argument doesn't work either, because

0:41:26.120 --> 0:41:28.479
<v Speaker 1>there have been so many people in having the land,

0:41:28.640 --> 0:41:31.480
<v Speaker 1>then the next question is is a moral question. And

0:41:31.520 --> 0:41:35.360
<v Speaker 1>so as an indigenous people, people don't like to consider

0:41:35.440 --> 0:41:38.120
<v Speaker 1>us indigenous people. We are indigenous people. We've been on

0:41:38.160 --> 0:41:41.319
<v Speaker 1>the land for hundreds of years, were descendants of Canaanites

0:41:41.640 --> 0:41:45.000
<v Speaker 1>two thousand BC. So so even the historical argument doesn't

0:41:45.040 --> 0:41:47.360
<v Speaker 1>work for them. But but my point here is that

0:41:47.600 --> 0:41:51.080
<v Speaker 1>it's about erasure. It's not about religion, it's not about

0:41:51.080 --> 0:41:55.160
<v Speaker 1>the history. It's about erasure. Uh. What sparked this, Like

0:41:55.200 --> 0:41:56.960
<v Speaker 1>the reason why the world is on fire right now,

0:41:57.000 --> 0:41:58.840
<v Speaker 1>the reason why the Millie stun fires because of a

0:41:58.960 --> 0:42:01.200
<v Speaker 1>video that went viral and I want to show you

0:42:01.239 --> 0:42:02.600
<v Speaker 1>the video if you give me a chance. I know

0:42:02.640 --> 0:42:06.320
<v Speaker 1>I've been talking a lot, but we don't get hurt. UM.

0:42:06.360 --> 0:42:10.560
<v Speaker 1>I want to show you this video why we are here.

0:42:10.960 --> 0:42:14.120
<v Speaker 1>Thank you, Westen. We hear you come on with the video. Listen.

0:42:14.600 --> 0:42:16.680
<v Speaker 1>I thought you were a troll for a long time, Jericho.

0:42:16.760 --> 0:42:18.279
<v Speaker 1>I never thought you was real. But now I see

0:42:18.320 --> 0:42:21.520
<v Speaker 1>you and you're talking because you've been following me for

0:42:21.560 --> 0:42:23.640
<v Speaker 1>a while and so you never came on last So

0:42:23.680 --> 0:42:25.319
<v Speaker 1>I was exciting when you said you want to come

0:42:25.320 --> 0:42:28.360
<v Speaker 1>home and that you're Palestinian, which is how we have

0:42:28.480 --> 0:42:31.640
<v Speaker 1>this conversation about talking to somebody that can relate way

0:42:31.680 --> 0:42:33.759
<v Speaker 1>more than any of us because you are part of

0:42:33.800 --> 0:42:37.759
<v Speaker 1>that group. Thank you, and I want to. I want to.

0:42:38.080 --> 0:42:41.000
<v Speaker 1>I also want to respond to your your comment about

0:42:41.520 --> 0:42:47.560
<v Speaker 1>UM and I'm not a troll. I love you. I

0:42:47.600 --> 0:42:50.120
<v Speaker 1>don't agree with you always, but I still you know,

0:42:50.200 --> 0:42:55.640
<v Speaker 1>I still like you. So but I want to show

0:42:55.640 --> 0:42:59.080
<v Speaker 1>you this video of how this like. The reason why

0:42:59.440 --> 0:43:01.279
<v Speaker 1>there's a option right now, the reason why there is

0:43:01.320 --> 0:43:04.120
<v Speaker 1>a volcano is because of this video. It went viral.

0:43:04.120 --> 0:43:05.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna show it to you and I want you

0:43:05.640 --> 0:43:12.000
<v Speaker 1>to tell me how you feel about it. This is yes,

0:43:12.040 --> 0:43:19.680
<v Speaker 1>but if I call you don't go back. But you

0:43:20.040 --> 0:43:30.640
<v Speaker 1>are no. No. So this guy from New York City

0:43:31.080 --> 0:43:37.760
<v Speaker 1>is Jewish. Uh came to this neighborhood che in Jerusalem

0:43:37.840 --> 0:43:41.359
<v Speaker 1>and basically they're taking over. And the reason why this

0:43:41.600 --> 0:43:45.800
<v Speaker 1>spark sparked a nerve for Palestinians is because in ninety

0:43:45.880 --> 0:43:49.800
<v Speaker 1>eight when Israel was created, five hundred villages were just

0:43:50.640 --> 0:43:54.040
<v Speaker 1>we were decimated, right, and so our people had to flee.

0:43:54.400 --> 0:43:56.640
<v Speaker 1>If you look at the refugee population, we have over

0:43:56.760 --> 0:44:01.360
<v Speaker 1>five million refugees in Lebanon, in Jordas, in Egypt, around

0:44:01.360 --> 0:44:08.720
<v Speaker 1>the world, and so that moment in history was recaptured again.

0:44:09.040 --> 0:44:11.840
<v Speaker 1>It's recaptured every day. The reason why this is not

0:44:11.920 --> 0:44:14.879
<v Speaker 1>about religion and it's not about history is because there

0:44:14.960 --> 0:44:20.040
<v Speaker 1>is so much vacant land on this fucking landscape. Why

0:44:20.120 --> 0:44:22.000
<v Speaker 1>do you have to go to someone's house and kick

0:44:22.080 --> 0:44:24.720
<v Speaker 1>them out. You can build your own house. These people

0:44:24.840 --> 0:44:29.400
<v Speaker 1>have built their own homes. Build your own fucking homes.

0:44:29.440 --> 0:44:32.239
<v Speaker 1>If you if you really care about coexistence and you

0:44:32.320 --> 0:44:35.399
<v Speaker 1>really care about people coming together, then build your own home.

0:44:35.600 --> 0:44:39.400
<v Speaker 1>Why are you dispossessing people? Right? It's about erasure. We

0:44:39.520 --> 0:44:42.560
<v Speaker 1>want to erase us from the landscape and so. And

0:44:42.560 --> 0:44:44.880
<v Speaker 1>the reason why we know this is because they the

0:44:45.000 --> 0:44:48.320
<v Speaker 1>villagers they take over, they renamed them in Hebrew. They're Arabic,

0:44:48.840 --> 0:44:51.960
<v Speaker 1>we rename them in Hebrew. The food, the food is

0:44:52.000 --> 0:44:57.200
<v Speaker 1>also reappropriated into Jewish names um, couscous and homeless and

0:44:57.239 --> 0:45:00.279
<v Speaker 1>all these these are Arab foods. They're the loving team

0:45:00.360 --> 0:45:03.040
<v Speaker 1>sort of. It's not even like a Rocky food or

0:45:03.120 --> 0:45:07.560
<v Speaker 1>Kuwaiti food. It's what the Levan team Lebanon, Palestine, Syria.

0:45:07.920 --> 0:45:13.279
<v Speaker 1>So there is a there is a systematic system of erasure.

0:45:13.560 --> 0:45:15.880
<v Speaker 1>And the reason why this is connected to black people,

0:45:16.440 --> 0:45:20.800
<v Speaker 1>particularly black people and Apartheidean in America, is because we

0:45:20.960 --> 0:45:25.319
<v Speaker 1>find we pay three point eight billion dollars, that's ten

0:45:25.400 --> 0:45:29.480
<v Speaker 1>million dollars a day to make Israel what it is today. Right,

0:45:29.520 --> 0:45:33.080
<v Speaker 1>we have an apartheid system. Into our fed up And

0:45:33.120 --> 0:45:37.120
<v Speaker 1>the last thing I'm gonna say is that when we

0:45:37.440 --> 0:45:40.239
<v Speaker 1>put out a call and said that we want to

0:45:40.719 --> 0:45:46.359
<v Speaker 1>mimic the the anti apartheid South African movement, we want

0:45:46.440 --> 0:45:49.520
<v Speaker 1>to boycott Israel, we created a movement. If you it's

0:45:49.520 --> 0:45:51.960
<v Speaker 1>called b d S. If you google it, you learn

0:45:52.000 --> 0:45:55.880
<v Speaker 1>about it. It's has exploded. I mean far before today

0:45:55.920 --> 0:45:58.360
<v Speaker 1>it was, it was launched in two thousand five. It

0:45:58.440 --> 0:46:00.880
<v Speaker 1>has exploded around the world and in the in the

0:46:01.000 --> 0:46:05.160
<v Speaker 1>US today, they are creating laws to dismantle the movement.

0:46:05.280 --> 0:46:08.600
<v Speaker 1>They're creating laws to criminalize people who boycott. So when

0:46:08.600 --> 0:46:13.920
<v Speaker 1>we create a nonviolent movement that criminals and were ostracized

0:46:14.000 --> 0:46:17.160
<v Speaker 1>and excluded, and so then when we respond to our

0:46:17.280 --> 0:46:21.200
<v Speaker 1>flints with with violence, where where do we learn the

0:46:21.280 --> 0:46:24.080
<v Speaker 1>violence from? I mean it's the same. There are so

0:46:24.280 --> 0:46:28.960
<v Speaker 1>many parallels to to to black Americans and indigenous people

0:46:28.960 --> 0:46:32.120
<v Speaker 1>around the world and in the America's that it's just

0:46:32.280 --> 0:46:36.560
<v Speaker 1>it's it's devastating, right, and and are the heart of

0:46:36.640 --> 0:46:40.200
<v Speaker 1>our I mean we talked about responding with militancy. Not

0:46:40.320 --> 0:46:43.200
<v Speaker 1>all Palestinians, I mean the majority of Palestinians do not

0:46:43.280 --> 0:46:46.319
<v Speaker 1>respond with militancy to to the apartheid system that we

0:46:46.400 --> 0:46:49.479
<v Speaker 1>live in, right, And so there is a militant group

0:46:49.520 --> 0:46:52.680
<v Speaker 1>they do respond because they're living in a cage there

0:46:52.719 --> 0:46:57.640
<v Speaker 1>there they're ready to explode, right, and so are the

0:46:58.160 --> 0:47:01.319
<v Speaker 1>center of our movement is no system peace if you

0:47:01.360 --> 0:47:03.600
<v Speaker 1>can't sleep, but if we can't sleep at night, you

0:47:03.640 --> 0:47:06.239
<v Speaker 1>can't sleep either. I like that one. Jered, I want

0:47:06.239 --> 0:47:07.799
<v Speaker 1>to ask you a question before you go any you

0:47:07.840 --> 0:47:09.879
<v Speaker 1>do you agree with Joe Biden pulling the troops out

0:47:09.880 --> 0:47:13.960
<v Speaker 1>of it? No, I'm done, But do you agree with

0:47:14.040 --> 0:47:15.959
<v Speaker 1>your Biden pulling the troops out of the middle ease?

0:47:17.239 --> 0:47:21.680
<v Speaker 1>You know? Um, Joe Biden is he's he was, He's

0:47:21.680 --> 0:47:24.840
<v Speaker 1>just really disappointing. Um when it comes to this matter,

0:47:24.840 --> 0:47:27.080
<v Speaker 1>And it's not just a Joe Biden thing, it's I

0:47:27.120 --> 0:47:30.880
<v Speaker 1>think pulling the troops out. Is this a symbolic move? Um?

0:47:31.640 --> 0:47:34.000
<v Speaker 1>They don't need troops there anyways, I mean, and so

0:47:34.400 --> 0:47:37.640
<v Speaker 1>I think it's just was this a decision? Uh, it's

0:47:37.719 --> 0:47:41.239
<v Speaker 1>a symbolic move to say, look, I'm I'm we're not

0:47:41.280 --> 0:47:44.920
<v Speaker 1>complicit here, but we pay for this. And and diplomatically

0:47:44.920 --> 0:47:47.719
<v Speaker 1>and politically, I mean, the u N recently if you

0:47:47.800 --> 0:47:50.640
<v Speaker 1>if you google it, you'll the you N the Security

0:47:50.640 --> 0:47:54.040
<v Speaker 1>Council proposed a resolution for US sees fire and the

0:47:54.400 --> 0:47:58.120
<v Speaker 1>US locked it. The US does not want peace. Do

0:47:58.239 --> 0:48:01.040
<v Speaker 1>you ask, can't have peace? And and if you ask why,

0:48:01.520 --> 0:48:07.120
<v Speaker 1>countries like Australia and France and the US, all these countries, um,

0:48:07.400 --> 0:48:14.240
<v Speaker 1>white supremacists, settler, colonial countries support Israel because in South Africa,

0:48:14.480 --> 0:48:18.640
<v Speaker 1>Israel supported South Africa the apartheid system in South Africa.

0:48:18.680 --> 0:48:22.120
<v Speaker 1>That was Israel. Israel supported apartheid South Africa. So let's

0:48:22.160 --> 0:48:26.879
<v Speaker 1>talk about white supremacy, right and settler colonialism and let's

0:48:26.920 --> 0:48:30.920
<v Speaker 1>have a real honest conversation. Um uh. And so anyways,

0:48:30.920 --> 0:48:33.399
<v Speaker 1>the point is that like it's not just financial, it's

0:48:33.440 --> 0:48:36.799
<v Speaker 1>also diplomatic. Um, when it comes to the U N

0:48:37.040 --> 0:48:41.560
<v Speaker 1>when it when it comes to our politicians. LGBTQ politicians

0:48:41.600 --> 0:48:46.360
<v Speaker 1>are are hostile against Palestinians. Uh, even black and brown

0:48:46.719 --> 0:48:50.040
<v Speaker 1>politicians are hostile. I mean there have been some really

0:48:51.160 --> 0:48:58.160
<v Speaker 1>uh excellent like Corey Bush Rashida lay aoc um jamal

0:48:58.400 --> 0:49:05.960
<v Speaker 1>uh bowen. Uh, there have been some really excellent politics,

0:49:06.239 --> 0:49:09.239
<v Speaker 1>like there is a movement happening, but um, we have

0:49:09.280 --> 0:49:11.520
<v Speaker 1>a long way to go, Jericho. Can I just tell

0:49:11.560 --> 0:49:13.800
<v Speaker 1>you thank you so much for coming on and sharing

0:49:13.800 --> 0:49:16.040
<v Speaker 1>that information with us. This is stuff that we would

0:49:16.040 --> 0:49:18.279
<v Speaker 1>have never known had you not been who was a

0:49:18.360 --> 0:49:22.160
<v Speaker 1>part of it, that that whole experience telling us that's

0:49:22.160 --> 0:49:23.959
<v Speaker 1>what laugh and learned is about. Thank you so much,

0:49:24.160 --> 0:49:26.000
<v Speaker 1>And now I know you're not in trouble and you cue,

0:49:29.040 --> 0:49:33.520
<v Speaker 1>and we do want to thank as well. I just

0:49:33.560 --> 0:49:36.239
<v Speaker 1>want to say one last thing before y'all have me off.

0:49:37.280 --> 0:49:40.040
<v Speaker 1>Let's just call this what it is. It's ethnic cleansing

0:49:40.800 --> 0:49:44.080
<v Speaker 1>that the Israeli government is trying to do the Palestinian people.

0:49:44.160 --> 0:49:47.640
<v Speaker 1>They're trying to erase their history and that's and like

0:49:47.680 --> 0:49:50.480
<v Speaker 1>I said, it just boils down to one simple fact.

0:49:51.000 --> 0:49:53.520
<v Speaker 1>Killing of anyone is barbaric. We are in the twenty

0:49:53.520 --> 0:49:57.840
<v Speaker 1>first century. We shouldn't be allowing anyone to be getting killed. This.

0:49:57.840 --> 0:50:01.040
<v Speaker 1>This is government sanctioned murder and it to stop. And

0:50:01.040 --> 0:50:03.080
<v Speaker 1>it's the same thing going on here with the Black

0:50:03.120 --> 0:50:06.359
<v Speaker 1>Lives Matter movement, the same thing applies. Well, thank you guys.

0:50:06.440 --> 0:50:08.520
<v Speaker 1>Y'all just opened it up for our next time ject.

0:50:08.520 --> 0:50:11.839
<v Speaker 1>Thank you Jerichos, Thank you invest because we're talking about

0:50:11.920 --> 0:50:14.680
<v Speaker 1>killing people and the next subject Lauren brought to us

0:50:14.719 --> 0:50:18.359
<v Speaker 1>today from South Carolina. Right, yeah, come on with, Lauren,

0:50:18.440 --> 0:50:20.800
<v Speaker 1>Come on with. I was like, well, that was a

0:50:20.880 --> 0:50:26.640
<v Speaker 1>hard work kid. Well before we move on, though, I

0:50:26.680 --> 0:50:28.359
<v Speaker 1>do this is the last thing I want to say

0:50:28.400 --> 0:50:31.000
<v Speaker 1>on this topic is I think that the main point

0:50:31.040 --> 0:50:34.000
<v Speaker 1>that should be made about one saying that this is

0:50:34.040 --> 0:50:36.160
<v Speaker 1>not something that the U S should be involved. And

0:50:36.160 --> 0:50:38.960
<v Speaker 1>like I said, initially, the US perpetuated what's happening now,

0:50:39.239 --> 0:50:41.520
<v Speaker 1>so I think that there's a responsibility for them to

0:50:41.800 --> 0:50:45.760
<v Speaker 1>do something. But to Jericho's point, though, the US doesn't

0:50:45.760 --> 0:50:47.319
<v Speaker 1>want to get involved too much, because then we have

0:50:47.400 --> 0:50:49.840
<v Speaker 1>to acknowledge the colonization that's also happened here. We have

0:50:49.880 --> 0:50:52.279
<v Speaker 1>to talk about slavery. We also have to talk about

0:50:52.280 --> 0:50:53.960
<v Speaker 1>how blacks are being ered. I don't think we have

0:50:54.000 --> 0:50:56.680
<v Speaker 1>to address that here, no what we do, because unless

0:50:56.719 --> 0:50:58.920
<v Speaker 1>that's addressed, they can't actually take a proper stance of

0:50:58.960 --> 0:51:03.200
<v Speaker 1>what's happening when we ever done that. But to your point,

0:51:03.320 --> 0:51:06.080
<v Speaker 1>what you're saying, but can you that would be that

0:51:06.120 --> 0:51:09.160
<v Speaker 1>would require a level of awareness that I don't think

0:51:09.160 --> 0:51:12.480
<v Speaker 1>this country genuinely wants. And I think that, and I'm

0:51:12.719 --> 0:51:14.640
<v Speaker 1>I would even argue there's some of us who don't

0:51:14.640 --> 0:51:16.279
<v Speaker 1>know whatever, Like, wait a minute, if I really have

0:51:16.320 --> 0:51:20.560
<v Speaker 1>to start taking responsibility, hold, I'm not. I kind of

0:51:20.600 --> 0:51:22.840
<v Speaker 1>like my government assistance. So I think there are a

0:51:22.880 --> 0:51:25.319
<v Speaker 1>number of things that are purposely designed to keep us

0:51:25.320 --> 0:51:28.000
<v Speaker 1>trapped in a system. I genuinely believe that, and I

0:51:28.040 --> 0:51:30.799
<v Speaker 1>know that that's an uncomfortable area for some because I

0:51:30.840 --> 0:51:33.440
<v Speaker 1>do believe that we live in a system, Lauren, that

0:51:33.480 --> 0:51:37.160
<v Speaker 1>has been created to keep certain demographics in a situation

0:51:37.160 --> 0:51:40.960
<v Speaker 1>of perpetual need. And I genuinely believe that they also say, Oh,

0:51:41.000 --> 0:51:43.040
<v Speaker 1>then I can also count on their vote because as

0:51:43.080 --> 0:51:45.680
<v Speaker 1>long as I keep kicking them another stimula or whatever

0:51:45.719 --> 0:51:48.520
<v Speaker 1>that thing is, uh, if I continue to offer assistance

0:51:48.560 --> 0:51:51.360
<v Speaker 1>for this to any other the problem with the United

0:51:51.400 --> 0:51:55.560
<v Speaker 1>States not stepping in. Now, United States has always operated

0:51:55.600 --> 0:51:58.920
<v Speaker 1>as the world's police. Should that change? Absolutely? Should you

0:51:58.960 --> 0:52:01.400
<v Speaker 1>worry about sweeping your own from port before you sweep

0:52:01.440 --> 0:52:04.960
<v Speaker 1>somebody else's. Absolutely, It's just not the way we operate.

0:52:05.280 --> 0:52:07.759
<v Speaker 1>So in a word, in a word, what Nick just

0:52:07.880 --> 0:52:10.520
<v Speaker 1>said is that the US is kind of like fix

0:52:10.560 --> 0:52:12.680
<v Speaker 1>in my life. They start some ship and then they leave.

0:52:13.600 --> 0:52:18.160
<v Speaker 1>That's what they started some ship and then they leave. Yes,

0:52:18.200 --> 0:52:20.960
<v Speaker 1>but it's also too of not addressing our own ships.

0:52:21.239 --> 0:52:23.799
<v Speaker 1>That's the here and then that that's why they over

0:52:23.840 --> 0:52:25.640
<v Speaker 1>there trying to fix somebody else because they don't want

0:52:25.640 --> 0:52:27.719
<v Speaker 1>to fix the ship. Right. We Europeans started the issue

0:52:27.760 --> 0:52:29.440
<v Speaker 1>here with the indigenous folks. If we're gonna, you know,

0:52:29.440 --> 0:52:30.719
<v Speaker 1>take it back there. But I'm just saying we have

0:52:30.800 --> 0:52:34.759
<v Speaker 1>to address what's happening. Unless we address this is reel

0:52:34.880 --> 0:52:38.319
<v Speaker 1>and what's happening in Palestine cannot be properly handled. And

0:52:38.360 --> 0:52:40.319
<v Speaker 1>that's why we're not talking about a ceasefire. That's why

0:52:40.360 --> 0:52:43.000
<v Speaker 1>we don't want to do this. We're like, it's all

0:52:43.000 --> 0:52:45.440
<v Speaker 1>of that because we're colonized country too. At the end

0:52:45.480 --> 0:53:02.279
<v Speaker 1>of the day, I really appreciate best per saying that

0:53:02.280 --> 0:53:05.120
<v Speaker 1>nobody should be killing nobody and speaking of that, Laurend,

0:53:05.320 --> 0:53:09.440
<v Speaker 1>what happened today, girl, Yes, So we talked about this earlier.

0:53:09.480 --> 0:53:12.600
<v Speaker 1>So South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster has signed a bill

0:53:12.640 --> 0:53:15.440
<v Speaker 1>into law that forces death row inmates for now to

0:53:15.560 --> 0:53:18.440
<v Speaker 1>choose between how they want to be executed, either by

0:53:18.480 --> 0:53:23.680
<v Speaker 1>electric chair or by a firing squad, so the state

0:53:23.800 --> 0:53:28.000
<v Speaker 1>can restart execution after involuntary tenure pause. So this is

0:53:28.000 --> 0:53:30.279
<v Speaker 1>coming back after being on a hiatus for about ten years.

0:53:30.280 --> 0:53:32.560
<v Speaker 1>So South Carolina had been one of the most prolific

0:53:32.560 --> 0:53:35.160
<v Speaker 1>states of its size and putting inmates to death, but

0:53:35.200 --> 0:53:37.799
<v Speaker 1>a lack of lethal injection drugs has brought executions to

0:53:37.840 --> 0:53:40.239
<v Speaker 1>a halt. So McMasters signed the bill on Friday with

0:53:40.320 --> 0:53:44.399
<v Speaker 1>no ceremony or fanfare. According to the States legislature. Um.

0:53:44.400 --> 0:53:46.560
<v Speaker 1>It's the first bill that the governor decided to address

0:53:46.560 --> 0:53:51.320
<v Speaker 1>after after nearly fifty UM hit his desk this past Thursday. Lauren,

0:53:51.360 --> 0:53:53.040
<v Speaker 1>you know what I feel like I'm embodying you on

0:53:53.080 --> 0:53:56.520
<v Speaker 1>this one. This is so not about the firing squad

0:53:56.640 --> 0:53:59.239
<v Speaker 1>or the electric chair. Let's talk about the fact that

0:53:59.520 --> 0:54:03.680
<v Speaker 1>this eight enjoys putting people to death. Let's talk about

0:54:03.680 --> 0:54:05.680
<v Speaker 1>the fact that we have a state and a governor

0:54:05.960 --> 0:54:09.880
<v Speaker 1>where with little fanfare, he didn't need any fanfare. Where

0:54:09.920 --> 0:54:12.600
<v Speaker 1>was he going to get the pushback? Right? How about

0:54:12.680 --> 0:54:15.520
<v Speaker 1>we know for a fact, through the Innocence Project, that

0:54:15.640 --> 0:54:19.360
<v Speaker 1>many who are convicted are not necessarily guilty of those crimes,

0:54:19.440 --> 0:54:23.920
<v Speaker 1>or at the very least deserve the opportunity for reasonable

0:54:23.960 --> 0:54:26.839
<v Speaker 1>doubt to be entered into that conviction. If all things

0:54:26.880 --> 0:54:30.799
<v Speaker 1>once again being legal, being equal, with their representation, with

0:54:30.920 --> 0:54:34.960
<v Speaker 1>their opportunity to examine evidence, we know for a fact

0:54:35.200 --> 0:54:37.680
<v Speaker 1>that there are a number of people who are wrongly executed.

0:54:38.000 --> 0:54:41.080
<v Speaker 1>So now to shift that focus, because we're not saying

0:54:41.080 --> 0:54:44.160
<v Speaker 1>we're going to change possibly the policies that have incarcerated

0:54:44.200 --> 0:54:46.640
<v Speaker 1>many of these people, primarily of color or at the

0:54:46.760 --> 0:54:50.640
<v Speaker 1>very least low economic status, fair. Um, we're not saying

0:54:50.640 --> 0:54:52.920
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna You know what, since we have a backlog

0:54:52.960 --> 0:54:55.879
<v Speaker 1>where we don't have the injection material that we need

0:54:55.880 --> 0:54:58.480
<v Speaker 1>for lethal injection, why don't we use that money to

0:54:58.520 --> 0:54:59.920
<v Speaker 1>look at some of these people who have been convi

0:55:00.239 --> 0:55:02.359
<v Speaker 1>and who may be sitting here on death row. No, Nick,

0:55:02.400 --> 0:55:05.040
<v Speaker 1>we're not going to do that. We want to kick

0:55:05.080 --> 0:55:08.440
<v Speaker 1>back up these executions. So what would you rather, Mr Parker?

0:55:08.600 --> 0:55:10.719
<v Speaker 1>Would you rather get the electric chair or would you

0:55:10.840 --> 0:55:13.799
<v Speaker 1>rather have a bullet to the head. You're gonna shoot me.

0:55:13.880 --> 0:55:16.240
<v Speaker 1>I needed to be over with quick, all the electric

0:55:16.280 --> 0:55:18.600
<v Speaker 1>chairs shaking and ship and then they let me tell

0:55:18.600 --> 0:55:20.400
<v Speaker 1>you what, maybe turn against the electric chair. Let me

0:55:20.440 --> 0:55:22.920
<v Speaker 1>just be honest with y'all. This is laughing learned fucking

0:55:22.960 --> 0:55:24.759
<v Speaker 1>watching The Green Man when a man forgot to with

0:55:24.920 --> 0:55:29.640
<v Speaker 1>the sponge and I like that down with the mouse

0:55:29.800 --> 0:55:31.400
<v Speaker 1>and he didn't with the sponge, and baby all the

0:55:31.440 --> 0:55:33.680
<v Speaker 1>puke and the smith on the blow my brains out.

0:55:33.719 --> 0:55:36.040
<v Speaker 1>Just get it over with you, boom, I'm done. That's

0:55:36.080 --> 0:55:38.640
<v Speaker 1>not the point. The point is if I have to

0:55:38.680 --> 0:55:41.000
<v Speaker 1>have a choice, and I'm on death row, and I

0:55:41.120 --> 0:55:43.720
<v Speaker 1>get a choice, which I would like to have firing

0:55:43.760 --> 0:55:46.960
<v Speaker 1>squad or either the electric chair blow my brains out.

0:55:48.440 --> 0:55:53.400
<v Speaker 1>I think the moral I know exactly what it is. Sure, no,

0:55:53.560 --> 0:55:55.560
<v Speaker 1>I understand that. I mean, I've got to know if

0:55:55.600 --> 0:55:57.600
<v Speaker 1>you have to be executed, how you would like to go.

0:55:57.719 --> 0:55:59.880
<v Speaker 1>So everybody take no, just and get you know, anything happens,

0:55:59.880 --> 0:56:02.280
<v Speaker 1>but it I think to even what Nick was saying

0:56:02.360 --> 0:56:05.720
<v Speaker 1>is that there's just so many examples of specifically black

0:56:05.760 --> 0:56:08.279
<v Speaker 1>men that have been on death row and they've been

0:56:08.280 --> 0:56:10.600
<v Speaker 1>falsely accused and they're being executed. We just got we

0:56:10.680 --> 0:56:14.040
<v Speaker 1>just finished talking to Jericho about you know, ethnic erasure.

0:56:14.160 --> 0:56:16.319
<v Speaker 1>This is just another form of this. I know you

0:56:16.360 --> 0:56:17.719
<v Speaker 1>were trying to make it funny that we got to

0:56:17.760 --> 0:56:24.560
<v Speaker 1>emphasize the point then we can make that was a

0:56:24.600 --> 0:56:31.319
<v Speaker 1>reason you got this job, get your daughter. But I'm

0:56:31.360 --> 0:56:33.759
<v Speaker 1>just saying is that this is just another form of

0:56:33.920 --> 0:56:36.359
<v Speaker 1>ethan ratier what we were just talking about in terms of,

0:56:36.760 --> 0:56:38.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, we couldn't put all of these you know,

0:56:38.680 --> 0:56:40.719
<v Speaker 1>black people to death, so how can we you know,

0:56:40.840 --> 0:56:42.440
<v Speaker 1>kick back up, you know, making sure that we're still

0:56:42.480 --> 0:56:45.200
<v Speaker 1>executing people. So oh yeah, we can electrocute you, or

0:56:45.239 --> 0:56:46.960
<v Speaker 1>you can be you don't hit by a firing squad

0:56:47.400 --> 0:56:49.839
<v Speaker 1>and you'll get to choose coming back. I don't want

0:56:49.840 --> 0:56:53.000
<v Speaker 1>to be talking. You know, there was. If you think

0:56:53.000 --> 0:56:55.759
<v Speaker 1>about it, it's kind of up like I'm choosing how

0:56:55.800 --> 0:56:59.120
<v Speaker 1>I want to die. I don't want to die not Yeah,

0:56:59.120 --> 0:57:00.759
<v Speaker 1>I got some ship to do. I mean, if we

0:57:00.800 --> 0:57:03.120
<v Speaker 1>go back in time, the youngest boy to ever be

0:57:03.239 --> 0:57:05.960
<v Speaker 1>executed in Alabama was fourteen years old. It just came

0:57:05.960 --> 0:57:07.759
<v Speaker 1>out two years that he was innocent. He was a

0:57:07.760 --> 0:57:10.399
<v Speaker 1>young black boy. I saw another article two days ago

0:57:10.440 --> 0:57:12.400
<v Speaker 1>about a man who was executed I think actually in

0:57:12.480 --> 0:57:15.320
<v Speaker 1>Arkansas four years ago. He turns out he was innocent

0:57:15.360 --> 0:57:18.160
<v Speaker 1>as well. So this is more of the story. It's

0:57:18.160 --> 0:57:19.760
<v Speaker 1>no different from when we talk about, you know, Mitch

0:57:19.800 --> 0:57:23.080
<v Speaker 1>McConnell lining up the local circuit courts with all of

0:57:23.080 --> 0:57:25.880
<v Speaker 1>these lifetime appointments of judges to keep all these black

0:57:25.920 --> 0:57:29.680
<v Speaker 1>and brown bodies in jail. It's all a part of absolutely,

0:57:29.760 --> 0:57:33.640
<v Speaker 1>regardless of one's politics. If we can agree that not

0:57:33.880 --> 0:57:37.120
<v Speaker 1>everyone has been given a fair trial, which I believe

0:57:37.200 --> 0:57:40.040
<v Speaker 1>everyone is entitled to, if we can agree that everyone

0:57:40.120 --> 0:57:42.000
<v Speaker 1>is not always given a fair trial, and that it

0:57:42.120 --> 0:57:45.400
<v Speaker 1>is possible that someone who has been convicted of a

0:57:45.440 --> 0:57:48.560
<v Speaker 1>capital crime and maybe sitting on death row may not

0:57:48.680 --> 0:57:51.760
<v Speaker 1>have received a fair trial, then I think it's not

0:57:51.840 --> 0:57:54.160
<v Speaker 1>unreasonable to say that we need to do everything that

0:57:54.160 --> 0:57:57.080
<v Speaker 1>we can to re examine that case inside out. If

0:57:57.120 --> 0:58:00.400
<v Speaker 1>we can spend the money and resources to how people

0:58:00.640 --> 0:58:03.880
<v Speaker 1>we can find money for different programs, at the very least,

0:58:03.880 --> 0:58:06.840
<v Speaker 1>the sanctity of human life should be paramount. It should

0:58:06.840 --> 0:58:09.160
<v Speaker 1>absolutely be something that we respect to say we've got

0:58:09.200 --> 0:58:11.840
<v Speaker 1>this right. If we are a society that has decided

0:58:12.280 --> 0:58:15.040
<v Speaker 1>through our own judicial system, through laws, through the passage

0:58:15.080 --> 0:58:16.560
<v Speaker 1>of bills, that you know what, I live in a

0:58:16.600 --> 0:58:19.080
<v Speaker 1>state where I actually support the death conalty. Okay, got it.

0:58:19.400 --> 0:58:21.200
<v Speaker 1>If that's indeed the case, that we need to make

0:58:21.200 --> 0:58:25.160
<v Speaker 1>sure we also exercise the responsibility of having done it right. Well.

0:58:25.240 --> 0:58:28.000
<v Speaker 1>More importantly, the people that should be getting executed, I

0:58:28.080 --> 0:58:33.640
<v Speaker 1>can get executed because was still alive right last out

0:58:33.680 --> 0:58:37.760
<v Speaker 1>on bail, right last time I checked. He should be

0:58:37.840 --> 0:58:41.200
<v Speaker 1>in office. He should be so. More importantly, the people

0:58:41.240 --> 0:58:44.400
<v Speaker 1>that should be getting executed, they're still alive and kicking

0:58:44.400 --> 0:58:46.680
<v Speaker 1>in those This is a very personal question you don't

0:58:46.680 --> 0:58:48.360
<v Speaker 1>have to answer to y'all want to do you'll believe

0:58:48.360 --> 0:58:54.760
<v Speaker 1>in death? I do? I think it applies. Yeah, I'm sorry,

0:58:54.920 --> 0:59:00.280
<v Speaker 1>I just do. Yeah, he needs to be or he

0:59:00.320 --> 0:59:09.360
<v Speaker 1>she whoever needs to be executed, he or she girl

0:59:11.680 --> 0:59:13.880
<v Speaker 1>not mind you, there are something who do what she

0:59:14.080 --> 0:59:18.960
<v Speaker 1>we just talk you know has Let me tell you

0:59:19.000 --> 0:59:22.400
<v Speaker 1>what what what makes me think that the death penalty

0:59:22.560 --> 0:59:27.200
<v Speaker 1>is appropriate in certain instances? Yeah, in certain instances. Molesting

0:59:27.280 --> 0:59:33.320
<v Speaker 1>a kid, all that, and consistently child molestation, um brutal

0:59:33.400 --> 0:59:37.560
<v Speaker 1>ship just just that you don't even want to think of,

0:59:37.720 --> 0:59:39.240
<v Speaker 1>and I don't even want to mention it by name,

0:59:39.280 --> 0:59:42.560
<v Speaker 1>but things that you know about the the guy who

0:59:42.640 --> 0:59:44.720
<v Speaker 1>killed his wife and the kids, like he could just

0:59:44.800 --> 0:59:47.040
<v Speaker 1>left her, you know what I'm talking about, the one

0:59:47.120 --> 0:59:48.960
<v Speaker 1>and he did that interview on TV talking about, oh,

0:59:49.000 --> 0:59:51.200
<v Speaker 1>somebody just helped me find my wife. You know where

0:59:51.240 --> 0:59:53.840
<v Speaker 1>she was when you dumped in the silo? You can't,

0:59:53.880 --> 0:59:57.680
<v Speaker 1>and the kids I can, and I'm going left. I

0:59:57.720 --> 1:00:01.320
<v Speaker 1>can understand leaving her. I get that people break up

1:00:01.360 --> 1:00:05.120
<v Speaker 1>all the time, but I will never understand her. And

1:00:05.120 --> 1:00:07.240
<v Speaker 1>they're about to give him another try. I don't get

1:00:07.320 --> 1:00:09.680
<v Speaker 1>that he killed his wife with two of them when

1:00:09.800 --> 1:00:13.520
<v Speaker 1>you don't know one wife. But she was, she was pregnant,

1:00:13.560 --> 1:00:18.600
<v Speaker 1>So that's saying people. And now they're giving him another trick.

1:00:18.760 --> 1:00:20.840
<v Speaker 1>This thing ain't on death ro y'all should get this

1:00:20.880 --> 1:00:23.600
<v Speaker 1>nigga the choice of a firing squad or either a

1:00:24.000 --> 1:00:25.720
<v Speaker 1>electric ship. I said, get that niggat of gas. I

1:00:25.760 --> 1:00:28.480
<v Speaker 1>want to see him turning yellow. California, California got the

1:00:29.040 --> 1:00:32.040
<v Speaker 1>California won't put them, won't kill. We don't have Gavin

1:00:32.120 --> 1:00:34.480
<v Speaker 1>newsom player. You know I still support you. Call me

1:00:35.040 --> 1:00:36.680
<v Speaker 1>you steal my gover because I ain't voting for that

1:00:37.000 --> 1:00:39.919
<v Speaker 1>picking of Gavin. I have to say that minute before

1:00:39.960 --> 1:00:41.640
<v Speaker 1>we do that, before we go to Gavin, who I like.

1:00:41.840 --> 1:00:44.040
<v Speaker 1>That's about that other nigga who trying to replace Gavin.

1:00:44.120 --> 1:00:48.080
<v Speaker 1>The other nigga is Bruce k not nowhere even close.

1:00:48.320 --> 1:00:50.600
<v Speaker 1>I just I just have to I just have to say,

1:00:50.640 --> 1:00:52.360
<v Speaker 1>that's not even to go into the Gavin thing now,

1:00:52.400 --> 1:00:54.640
<v Speaker 1>but as we talked about this in California, I have

1:00:54.640 --> 1:00:56.240
<v Speaker 1>to let it every right now. I posted the commercial

1:00:56.360 --> 1:01:00.240
<v Speaker 1>on my Instagram page. There is literally a guy for

1:01:00.320 --> 1:01:02.120
<v Speaker 1>governor California. Those of you who don't live in the state,

1:01:02.120 --> 1:01:06.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm sitting there watching this commercial. He's walking with a bear.

1:01:06.680 --> 1:01:08.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm not making this out only in California, where you

1:01:08.920 --> 1:01:12.160
<v Speaker 1>talking about Florida's crazy. His name is Cox and they

1:01:12.160 --> 1:01:17.200
<v Speaker 1>call him the angriest Beast, the angriest nice beast. It's ridiculous.

1:01:17.520 --> 1:01:20.080
<v Speaker 1>But he's walking with a bear, and the bear. Get

1:01:20.120 --> 1:01:23.960
<v Speaker 1>this is sad after the bears actually has equity points

1:01:24.360 --> 1:01:29.160
<v Speaker 1>because when when the rest of us fight for representation

1:01:29.240 --> 1:01:31.720
<v Speaker 1>and to make equity here called this bear walking around

1:01:31.720 --> 1:01:37.400
<v Speaker 1>with with an agent and every California saying publically and

1:01:37.440 --> 1:01:40.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying that on this day, don't be surprised if

1:01:40.080 --> 1:01:41.960
<v Speaker 1>you're here within the next year to him and the

1:01:42.000 --> 1:01:44.680
<v Speaker 1>bear is fucking I see it, I see it, I

1:01:45.160 --> 1:01:47.360
<v Speaker 1>see baby. Let me tell you something. They've got some

1:01:47.360 --> 1:01:50.200
<v Speaker 1>weirdos out here. Baby. If we're gonna do California, let's

1:01:50.200 --> 1:01:52.880
<v Speaker 1>do it. Baby. If you hear that him in the

1:01:52.920 --> 1:01:55.520
<v Speaker 1>bed and get married, remember that you heard it here

1:01:55.560 --> 1:02:03.440
<v Speaker 1>first first Mr and Mrs Business. Let's bring in a

1:02:05.520 --> 1:02:07.840
<v Speaker 1>got heavy with that, definitely. I had to come back.

1:02:08.400 --> 1:02:11.080
<v Speaker 1>We're about to circle back and think about if you've

1:02:11.080 --> 1:02:16.920
<v Speaker 1>got some of our favorites coming in right now, are available? Oh,

1:02:16.960 --> 1:02:19.920
<v Speaker 1>I want to hear them something. Nick, you didn't say

1:02:19.920 --> 1:02:22.400
<v Speaker 1>how you felt about the death penalty, though I don't

1:02:22.400 --> 1:02:26.480
<v Speaker 1>know that I'm for it. But wait a minute, let

1:02:26.480 --> 1:02:28.400
<v Speaker 1>me give you so if and I know you know

1:02:28.440 --> 1:02:30.440
<v Speaker 1>everybody don't hear who watch you know how much you

1:02:30.520 --> 1:02:33.640
<v Speaker 1>adore your mom, if somebody did something horrific to your mom,

1:02:33.720 --> 1:02:37.480
<v Speaker 1>would you want that person to That's a great question.

1:02:37.600 --> 1:02:40.600
<v Speaker 1>Would you want to be a vigilante? Yeah? The truth

1:02:40.720 --> 1:02:42.840
<v Speaker 1>is I think I tried to think what she wants.

1:02:42.920 --> 1:02:45.080
<v Speaker 1>You know what I'm saying there. Like my mother, my

1:02:45.160 --> 1:02:47.360
<v Speaker 1>mother does believe in the power of prayer, like she

1:02:47.440 --> 1:02:51.080
<v Speaker 1>believes God can save everybody, don't. And I know, but

1:02:51.440 --> 1:02:56.360
<v Speaker 1>my mother genuinely believes that, um, prayer changes things. Not

1:02:56.560 --> 1:02:59.840
<v Speaker 1>that I don't, but I think her faith is a

1:03:00.120 --> 1:03:04.520
<v Speaker 1>more fervent than my own. Right, Um, so she can

1:03:04.640 --> 1:03:07.760
<v Speaker 1>understand that you want to pray with those who may

1:03:07.760 --> 1:03:11.280
<v Speaker 1>have harmed you. I would rather, you know, I'd rather

1:03:11.320 --> 1:03:14.720
<v Speaker 1>flip the switch. Shit. I think that's what they should

1:03:14.760 --> 1:03:18.320
<v Speaker 1>personally start doing too. If you hurt my family and you,

1:03:18.320 --> 1:03:20.720
<v Speaker 1>you don't need to hire a guard in them. Just

1:03:20.840 --> 1:03:24.920
<v Speaker 1>call baby. I flip it when I flicked it too soon? Okay,

1:03:25.320 --> 1:03:35.400
<v Speaker 1>but I got him, know right the life you say, right?

1:03:36.800 --> 1:03:39.280
<v Speaker 1>Shock the sh out you? Yeah, Hey, Cassie, you can

1:03:39.280 --> 1:03:44.120
<v Speaker 1>see them. Hi, y'all, Hi, Cassie, were you were in

1:03:44.240 --> 1:03:49.120
<v Speaker 1>We were just were having a moment, right, So what

1:03:49.160 --> 1:03:52.240
<v Speaker 1>are your thoughts? I say, if it's a whole card,

1:03:52.520 --> 1:03:54.720
<v Speaker 1>cold heart fact that you murder somebody, you need to

1:03:54.720 --> 1:03:56.640
<v Speaker 1>be murdered. Why do I got to pay my taxes

1:03:56.720 --> 1:03:59.280
<v Speaker 1>to support you forty five years because you because you're

1:03:59.320 --> 1:04:03.560
<v Speaker 1>awn life sentence. Dylan Ruth killed those people, so he

1:04:03.600 --> 1:04:06.640
<v Speaker 1>should be taken out. Wait, now that's a great point.

1:04:06.760 --> 1:04:10.640
<v Speaker 1>After praying in a black church, those people praying for

1:04:10.640 --> 1:04:13.840
<v Speaker 1>this nigga and then he killed them. So exactly what

1:04:13.880 --> 1:04:15.680
<v Speaker 1>you just said about your mom saying the power. I

1:04:15.720 --> 1:04:17.640
<v Speaker 1>do believe that the power of prayer works. It didn't

1:04:17.640 --> 1:04:19.440
<v Speaker 1>work that day, and then here we go. There were

1:04:19.440 --> 1:04:23.160
<v Speaker 1>people in that group whose family members said and said,

1:04:23.160 --> 1:04:25.560
<v Speaker 1>you know what, I'm praying for him because that's what

1:04:25.600 --> 1:04:27.760
<v Speaker 1>they would have wanted those that they lost. That makes sense.

1:04:28.160 --> 1:04:31.080
<v Speaker 1>Like so, and I don't know where the line should be.

1:04:31.160 --> 1:04:32.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if it should be about what I'm

1:04:32.480 --> 1:04:34.960
<v Speaker 1>feeling or if you really want to respect the wishes

1:04:35.000 --> 1:04:37.280
<v Speaker 1>of that person and who they walked and how they

1:04:37.280 --> 1:04:42.680
<v Speaker 1>walked in faith? What does that mean? F T f

1:04:42.800 --> 1:04:52.240
<v Speaker 1>TS flip the switch forget this stuff. Stuff. I don't.

1:04:52.280 --> 1:04:55.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't think that's right. I understand being on death row,

1:04:55.120 --> 1:04:57.440
<v Speaker 1>being on death row, or being life imprisonment, but we

1:04:57.560 --> 1:04:59.720
<v Speaker 1>pay taxes and it costs a lot of money to

1:04:59.800 --> 1:05:01.919
<v Speaker 1>keep people in jail for life. If it's a hard

1:05:01.960 --> 1:05:04.920
<v Speaker 1>called fact, like dealing route you went and murdered than people,

1:05:05.280 --> 1:05:08.160
<v Speaker 1>then we you should we should take your life Pitt period.

1:05:09.200 --> 1:05:12.160
<v Speaker 1>Hey Mark, Hey guys, sorry, I don't know why it

1:05:12.160 --> 1:05:14.560
<v Speaker 1>wasn't working. Are you here now? It's okay? What are

1:05:14.560 --> 1:05:19.680
<v Speaker 1>your thoughts? I don't think I'm totally against the death penalty. Um,

1:05:19.760 --> 1:05:22.520
<v Speaker 1>if anyone thinks that it's, yes, I get the tax

1:05:22.520 --> 1:05:25.320
<v Speaker 1>dollar point, but people will stay on death row. Some

1:05:25.360 --> 1:05:28.280
<v Speaker 1>people die on death row. So really, if you look

1:05:28.320 --> 1:05:30.960
<v Speaker 1>at the analytics of that, I don't know that we're

1:05:30.960 --> 1:05:33.560
<v Speaker 1>gonna save money from it. Um. I think a true

1:05:33.560 --> 1:05:37.200
<v Speaker 1>punishment is living your life in a cage and getting

1:05:37.200 --> 1:05:40.000
<v Speaker 1>your ass beat every day, honestly, you know. But I

1:05:40.080 --> 1:05:43.439
<v Speaker 1>do think that it's too risky putting we are not

1:05:45.280 --> 1:05:48.000
<v Speaker 1>We shouldn't be allowed to make the decision of someone's

1:05:48.200 --> 1:05:51.640
<v Speaker 1>when someone's life ends, and there are too many times

1:05:51.640 --> 1:05:54.680
<v Speaker 1>where innocent people die. As I said earlier in the comments,

1:05:54.720 --> 1:05:58.800
<v Speaker 1>the Innocence Project is something that we have said once

1:05:58.880 --> 1:06:01.880
<v Speaker 1>we die, like we would love all of our wealth

1:06:01.920 --> 1:06:04.520
<v Speaker 1>to go to them because we don't have kids or anything. Right,

1:06:04.600 --> 1:06:10.200
<v Speaker 1>So I just I can't stand with the death penalty

1:06:10.240 --> 1:06:11.800
<v Speaker 1>and I think it should be a ballus mark. You know,

1:06:11.920 --> 1:06:14.280
<v Speaker 1>you just say that we don't have the choice to

1:06:14.360 --> 1:06:18.280
<v Speaker 1>take somebody's life. Did that did the murderer? Did the murderer?

1:06:18.840 --> 1:06:21.840
<v Speaker 1>Did the murderer have a choice? And the consequence that

1:06:21.880 --> 1:06:24.840
<v Speaker 1>they will have is m yes or no? Did the

1:06:24.880 --> 1:06:26.560
<v Speaker 1>murderer have a choice on whether they was going to

1:06:26.680 --> 1:06:29.360
<v Speaker 1>kill somebody innocent? They didn't have the choice, but they

1:06:29.400 --> 1:06:32.280
<v Speaker 1>did it. They but did they have a choice? Yes

1:06:32.360 --> 1:06:37.160
<v Speaker 1>or no? Yes? Then then ftsli the switch. And I

1:06:37.200 --> 1:06:39.040
<v Speaker 1>think the other thing too. A part of this is

1:06:39.080 --> 1:06:41.600
<v Speaker 1>that it's not a I mean, I understand Cassie's point too,

1:06:41.600 --> 1:06:43.640
<v Speaker 1>even about the tax dollars though, but I think it's

1:06:43.680 --> 1:06:46.520
<v Speaker 1>also the sentiment of the family. You made this decision

1:06:46.520 --> 1:06:48.240
<v Speaker 1>to take my loved one, even if it's not a

1:06:48.280 --> 1:06:50.160
<v Speaker 1>loved one. All everybody's body matters at the end of

1:06:50.160 --> 1:06:52.320
<v Speaker 1>the day. We're all human beings. But you made if

1:06:52.480 --> 1:06:55.080
<v Speaker 1>from a family standpoint, you chose to take my loved

1:06:55.120 --> 1:06:59.680
<v Speaker 1>one because of whatever your rationale was. UM, I should

1:06:59.720 --> 1:07:02.040
<v Speaker 1>also have the opportunity to say if your life should

1:07:02.040 --> 1:07:04.640
<v Speaker 1>be taken as well. I just think that's a fair

1:07:04.680 --> 1:07:07.280
<v Speaker 1>eye for an eye, and then to pick back off

1:07:07.280 --> 1:07:10.240
<v Speaker 1>of that, just to follow that logic, let's just even

1:07:10.240 --> 1:07:12.760
<v Speaker 1>say if it's someone who may be indigenous and does

1:07:12.800 --> 1:07:17.640
<v Speaker 1>not have UM A family, they still deserve to have

1:07:17.680 --> 1:07:21.280
<v Speaker 1>that same protection. Absolutely absolutely. But I have a let

1:07:21.280 --> 1:07:23.160
<v Speaker 1>me tell you my story though. I have a family

1:07:23.200 --> 1:07:26.520
<v Speaker 1>member whose husband took her life, choked her to death,

1:07:26.560 --> 1:07:28.520
<v Speaker 1>and buried her up in the woods, and he's still

1:07:28.600 --> 1:07:31.720
<v Speaker 1>on he's still serving. So every five or ten years,

1:07:31.720 --> 1:07:34.600
<v Speaker 1>my aunt has to go before the parole board to say, no,

1:07:34.720 --> 1:07:36.800
<v Speaker 1>he doesn't deserve to get out. Why we have to

1:07:36.840 --> 1:07:39.600
<v Speaker 1>keep reliving it over and over the trauma? If they

1:07:39.640 --> 1:07:42.160
<v Speaker 1>would just kill him because he murdered her in playing

1:07:42.160 --> 1:07:46.920
<v Speaker 1>clothes blood, I mean, you know he murdered her in

1:07:47.000 --> 1:07:50.240
<v Speaker 1>Washington state where you live. Yes, Yes, that's why I

1:07:50.320 --> 1:07:52.600
<v Speaker 1>left Washington State. Y'all got way too many cereal killers,

1:07:52.640 --> 1:07:56.360
<v Speaker 1>and there's too many places to be everybody, too many

1:07:56.400 --> 1:08:00.400
<v Speaker 1>places in Washington. It's so much greenery, Baby get loved

1:08:00.440 --> 1:08:02.800
<v Speaker 1>and the Black Bears, between the Black Bears and crazy

1:08:02.800 --> 1:08:04.920
<v Speaker 1>Oh Baby, I had to come up out. I gotta

1:08:05.040 --> 1:08:06.720
<v Speaker 1>I gotta agree with you on that one. When I

1:08:06.800 --> 1:08:08.320
<v Speaker 1>when I went to Atlanta to go live for a

1:08:08.320 --> 1:08:09.840
<v Speaker 1>couple of years, my mom was like, we looked out

1:08:09.880 --> 1:08:11.480
<v Speaker 1>the window. She said, Oh, that's a lot of places

1:08:11.520 --> 1:08:15.600
<v Speaker 1>to bury somebody. Yeah, that's that's what I'm talking about.

1:08:15.680 --> 1:08:18.479
<v Speaker 1>With the death with with death penalty or life on

1:08:18.760 --> 1:08:21.559
<v Speaker 1>life in prison. Every ten years or so, she goes

1:08:21.600 --> 1:08:24.280
<v Speaker 1>back and she goes before the board, No, he should

1:08:24.280 --> 1:08:27.240
<v Speaker 1>not be released. I think that's a bad judge though,

1:08:27.280 --> 1:08:30.759
<v Speaker 1>because why would you give someone if it's clear I'm sorry,

1:08:30.800 --> 1:08:33.920
<v Speaker 1>not everyone deserves the right to parole. So the fact

1:08:34.000 --> 1:08:37.600
<v Speaker 1>that that's even an option and within itself is a problem.

1:08:37.640 --> 1:08:40.599
<v Speaker 1>But again, I think with the innocent people who get

1:08:40.640 --> 1:08:43.799
<v Speaker 1>put to death, and then the fact that, in my opinion,

1:08:44.080 --> 1:08:47.439
<v Speaker 1>living out that reality that you killed someone, that you're

1:08:47.479 --> 1:08:51.760
<v Speaker 1>serving your life in prison, oftentimes you're you're getting your

1:08:51.800 --> 1:08:54.720
<v Speaker 1>ass beat depending on your crime. To me, that's a

1:08:54.800 --> 1:09:02.439
<v Speaker 1>worst sentence is one person you're not in You're not

1:09:02.479 --> 1:09:04.519
<v Speaker 1>around a bunch of people. And here's the thing. So

1:09:04.560 --> 1:09:06.840
<v Speaker 1>that story what you just said, Cassie reads personal with

1:09:06.880 --> 1:09:10.080
<v Speaker 1>me because Fantasia, who has shared this story publicly, he

1:09:10.200 --> 1:09:13.760
<v Speaker 1>had her had her throat cut. Fontation almost died. She

1:09:13.880 --> 1:09:17.640
<v Speaker 1>still has the very prevalent cut across her throat. The

1:09:17.760 --> 1:09:20.080
<v Speaker 1>guy in ten years. She had to go and the

1:09:20.200 --> 1:09:23.799
<v Speaker 1>judge let him out of jail, partially, I believe because

1:09:23.800 --> 1:09:28.400
<v Speaker 1>she was transgender, and I'm saying this publicly, partially because

1:09:28.400 --> 1:09:31.360
<v Speaker 1>she was a transgender woman. He cut her throat. Fantasia

1:09:31.439 --> 1:09:34.640
<v Speaker 1>almost died. She talks about this story, and they let

1:09:34.680 --> 1:09:36.680
<v Speaker 1>that Nia. She had to go to court, and she

1:09:36.760 --> 1:09:39.120
<v Speaker 1>went and she threw herself in the mercy of the course.

1:09:39.160 --> 1:09:41.800
<v Speaker 1>She told her story. She cried, They still let that

1:09:41.840 --> 1:09:44.479
<v Speaker 1>nick outa jail. He walking around free right now? What

1:09:44.600 --> 1:09:46.479
<v Speaker 1>if he decided that he wanted to do it again?

1:09:46.479 --> 1:09:48.400
<v Speaker 1>She lived close enough to me. If the nigga watching

1:09:48.560 --> 1:09:50.000
<v Speaker 1>you don't want to do that while I'm this close,

1:09:50.080 --> 1:09:52.639
<v Speaker 1>I promise you you don't because I wasn't at a house. Okay,

1:09:52.640 --> 1:09:54.679
<v Speaker 1>so wait a minutelet's go back to their original. Which

1:09:54.680 --> 1:09:56.439
<v Speaker 1>one would you guys prefer if you had, if you

1:09:56.479 --> 1:09:59.200
<v Speaker 1>guys were on death row, would you prefer firing spot

1:09:59.320 --> 1:10:03.400
<v Speaker 1>or all my brain, give me the give me the

1:10:04.360 --> 1:10:09.840
<v Speaker 1>no, no no, no, that's not what's the firing squad or

1:10:09.920 --> 1:10:14.640
<v Speaker 1>electric chair? Just shoot me with the firing squad. You

1:10:14.680 --> 1:10:16.360
<v Speaker 1>don't know if you have the loaded gun and not,

1:10:16.560 --> 1:10:18.960
<v Speaker 1>because what they do is load un eight or nine

1:10:19.000 --> 1:10:22.160
<v Speaker 1>people and only one person has a bullet, so they

1:10:22.160 --> 1:10:23.840
<v Speaker 1>don't have to carry that. They don't have to carry

1:10:23.840 --> 1:10:25.439
<v Speaker 1>the gifts. So you never know who killed the rest

1:10:25.439 --> 1:10:27.120
<v Speaker 1>of my all blanks, so you never know whether you

1:10:27.200 --> 1:10:29.960
<v Speaker 1>kill somebody. But we're all aiming at Mark's forehead. We

1:10:30.040 --> 1:10:31.519
<v Speaker 1>just don't know which one of us is the one

1:10:31.560 --> 1:10:36.000
<v Speaker 1>with with with Marks Why, well, I don't I don't

1:10:36.040 --> 1:10:38.600
<v Speaker 1>see Mark wanting the electric chair. Electric chair is a

1:10:38.680 --> 1:10:41.320
<v Speaker 1>less glamorous way to go. Plus Mark like showing off

1:10:41.320 --> 1:10:42.840
<v Speaker 1>his booty, so you know he wants to say it

1:10:42.880 --> 1:10:48.000
<v Speaker 1>as opposed to city, The injection is not peaceful. The

1:10:48.080 --> 1:10:51.320
<v Speaker 1>injection is a horrible way to die. I heard that.

1:10:51.400 --> 1:10:55.479
<v Speaker 1>I heard that. You are literally like almost suffocating to that, Like,

1:10:56.320 --> 1:10:59.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's not it's not like they're putting you

1:11:00.000 --> 1:11:03.160
<v Speaker 1>extra dose and anesthesia and good night seeing you know,

1:11:03.280 --> 1:11:05.920
<v Speaker 1>sheep in the clouds. That's not how it is. Watch me,

1:11:06.760 --> 1:11:09.040
<v Speaker 1>watch me to be messy. The injection is kind of

1:11:09.040 --> 1:11:15.640
<v Speaker 1>like the second dose of the Fighter or the Bernernas.

1:11:17.000 --> 1:11:21.720
<v Speaker 1>We don't want to get sus stay wrong, but you

1:11:21.840 --> 1:11:27.479
<v Speaker 1>will not rest until you guys. The last thing I

1:11:27.520 --> 1:11:29.519
<v Speaker 1>want to bring up because I thought this was funny

1:11:29.560 --> 1:11:31.800
<v Speaker 1>and we kind of laughed about it earlier. US airlines

1:11:31.960 --> 1:11:35.840
<v Speaker 1>may start waiting passengers at the gate. Yours airlines may

1:11:35.880 --> 1:11:38.120
<v Speaker 1>need to start weighing passengers in order to comply with

1:11:38.320 --> 1:11:41.559
<v Speaker 1>f a A rules for safety reasons. Carriers have been

1:11:41.600 --> 1:11:45.519
<v Speaker 1>carrying too much weight and they've had to adjust either

1:11:45.600 --> 1:11:49.760
<v Speaker 1>fuel or baggage requirements. That's not fair because after the pandemic,

1:11:49.840 --> 1:11:53.240
<v Speaker 1>we already got a waiting and unfortunately, some passengers believe

1:11:53.240 --> 1:11:55.920
<v Speaker 1>it or not need two belts to sit in passenger seats,

1:11:55.920 --> 1:11:58.240
<v Speaker 1>but they're only paying for one ticket. Well, I'll just

1:11:58.280 --> 1:12:01.000
<v Speaker 1>say this, if you know you are a larger person,

1:12:01.400 --> 1:12:04.080
<v Speaker 1>you should absolutely buy two seats. That is just the

1:12:04.080 --> 1:12:06.840
<v Speaker 1>courtious thing to do, especially with COVID going on. I

1:12:06.880 --> 1:12:09.040
<v Speaker 1>have I have been on a plane where there has

1:12:09.040 --> 1:12:10.720
<v Speaker 1>been a bigger person in the middle seat and I'm

1:12:10.720 --> 1:12:12.439
<v Speaker 1>looking at them like, you know, damn well, you should

1:12:12.479 --> 1:12:14.519
<v Speaker 1>not be sitting in the middle seat. You need aisle.

1:12:15.120 --> 1:12:17.400
<v Speaker 1>So I don't agree. You can't wait me. That's my

1:12:17.479 --> 1:12:22.240
<v Speaker 1>personal business. That's just so we're clear. Other other countries

1:12:22.320 --> 1:12:26.960
<v Speaker 1>already way passengers, Uh, Netherlands, you better stand, uh, China,

1:12:27.160 --> 1:12:30.959
<v Speaker 1>And well what's the weight requirement though? The weight requirements

1:12:31.000 --> 1:12:33.200
<v Speaker 1>that you can comfortably sit in the seat, so if

1:12:33.240 --> 1:12:37.840
<v Speaker 1>you are spilling over, Yeah, that's not a weight requirement though,

1:12:38.000 --> 1:12:40.320
<v Speaker 1>because some people are tall and their height their weight

1:12:40.439 --> 1:12:43.280
<v Speaker 1>in the height. Like she's not a big girl, but

1:12:43.360 --> 1:12:45.320
<v Speaker 1>she's a tall person, so there's more weight in her.

1:12:46.120 --> 1:12:51.080
<v Speaker 1>That's not fair. That ain't fair. But I'm until y'all

1:12:51.080 --> 1:12:53.799
<v Speaker 1>start talking about that. The US Airlines is fat shaming.

1:12:54.160 --> 1:12:56.080
<v Speaker 1>There is no such thing. It's fat shaming. Let's go

1:12:56.120 --> 1:12:59.280
<v Speaker 1>back and reads that shame. Fat shaming is a process.

1:12:59.600 --> 1:13:02.519
<v Speaker 1>It takes time to get it off. It takes time

1:13:02.560 --> 1:13:06.880
<v Speaker 1>to put it off. If we make more sense to me,

1:13:06.880 --> 1:13:08.920
<v Speaker 1>if they said we got to measure your waist side

1:13:08.960 --> 1:13:11.559
<v Speaker 1>and if you're over there, if you can't, you can't

1:13:11.560 --> 1:13:13.439
<v Speaker 1>fit the bell, Yeah, yeah, that makes more sense. You

1:13:13.479 --> 1:13:15.720
<v Speaker 1>can't wait. But they've got to stop putting big people

1:13:15.760 --> 1:13:17.800
<v Speaker 1>in the middle. I wi you on because you all

1:13:17.840 --> 1:13:21.320
<v Speaker 1>over my side and ship. I can't even think spilling

1:13:21.360 --> 1:13:26.479
<v Speaker 1>with your arms this way. So you just Laura, I'm

1:13:26.520 --> 1:13:29.479
<v Speaker 1>just saying, we can't excuse me. I am not wide,

1:13:29.960 --> 1:13:33.160
<v Speaker 1>I am not wide. I am tall is tall? Don't

1:13:33.200 --> 1:13:40.320
<v Speaker 1>do that to me. Words have energy that's almost slapped

1:13:40.400 --> 1:13:45.200
<v Speaker 1>Early's hostility. Look at me in this seat. I'm I'm

1:13:45.200 --> 1:13:49.120
<v Speaker 1>wadding this seat. Nick's wide across the air. So imagine us,

1:13:49.400 --> 1:13:53.240
<v Speaker 1>no serious, but imagine us especially like let's just say,

1:13:53.320 --> 1:13:56.200
<v Speaker 1>for instance, Southware sailines. I'm not putting nobody on Blad

1:13:57.360 --> 1:13:59.760
<v Speaker 1>very standard. Now, we didn't even talk about Spirit because

1:13:59.800 --> 1:14:02.600
<v Speaker 1>bitch the baby seat. You know, I think Southwest is

1:14:02.640 --> 1:14:06.600
<v Speaker 1>better than Delta dripping. You've been, you've been in a

1:14:06.680 --> 1:14:09.840
<v Speaker 1>cheap seat. I find Delta comfort. You ain't rolled delft

1:14:10.080 --> 1:14:12.680
<v Speaker 1>up in the front. Delta is the worst. Let's be

1:14:12.840 --> 1:14:15.920
<v Speaker 1>very clear. Oh no, absolutely, United is the only one.

1:14:16.640 --> 1:14:19.240
<v Speaker 1>Let me be very united. Is the only one has

1:14:19.320 --> 1:14:21.920
<v Speaker 1>a normal legroom for normal people. You haven't one in

1:14:21.920 --> 1:14:24.559
<v Speaker 1>the nice Delta planes. You haven't because there aren't any.

1:14:24.840 --> 1:14:27.920
<v Speaker 1>That's just it Delta Delta comfort. And that is like

1:14:28.920 --> 1:14:35.439
<v Speaker 1>hold on the Music Express. The Music Express by Nicholas,

1:14:35.479 --> 1:14:41.920
<v Speaker 1>do not reflect those for this episode. No, because have

1:14:42.040 --> 1:14:44.040
<v Speaker 1>you been on the Delta planes where the first class

1:14:44.040 --> 1:14:48.360
<v Speaker 1>turns into beds. You've been the pods that open and

1:14:48.400 --> 1:14:52.679
<v Speaker 1>closed international plant. To be clear, I usually only fly

1:14:52.760 --> 1:14:55.680
<v Speaker 1>Delta internationally. Let me just say that because they just

1:14:55.800 --> 1:14:57.960
<v Speaker 1>upgraded their planes and are very nice, and I will

1:14:58.000 --> 1:15:01.519
<v Speaker 1>say this Delta comfort is. You do not want the

1:15:01.560 --> 1:15:04.920
<v Speaker 1>mistake of possibly being rebooked on the flight and not

1:15:05.000 --> 1:15:07.360
<v Speaker 1>having your Delta comfort. That's when you will pay the

1:15:07.400 --> 1:15:10.040
<v Speaker 1>price being a person who's larger. Well, yeah, yeah, absolutely.

1:15:10.880 --> 1:15:13.439
<v Speaker 1>My legs are like Southwest I have found for the

1:15:13.479 --> 1:15:15.800
<v Speaker 1>most part, Southwest is flying bus. They don't try to

1:15:15.800 --> 1:15:18.840
<v Speaker 1>be anything. But I'm not gonna do. Southwas like the

1:15:18.880 --> 1:15:22.679
<v Speaker 1>bus is spirit. First of all, Spirit will break your spirit.

1:15:22.840 --> 1:15:26.680
<v Speaker 1>Understand the spirit is a tramp like. Spirit don't want

1:15:26.680 --> 1:15:29.160
<v Speaker 1>to give you a seat. You're gonna be having an

1:15:29.200 --> 1:15:31.760
<v Speaker 1>accidents though real talk, they don't be having accidents. I

1:15:31.840 --> 1:15:36.000
<v Speaker 1>didn't hear that they've had several accidents. Spirit is one

1:15:36.040 --> 1:15:39.880
<v Speaker 1>to make you share the seatbelt. They're like, we got one.

1:15:39.640 --> 1:15:41.280

1:15:41.280 --> 1:15:45.680
