Hello, Hello. 0:02:55.560 --> 0:02:58.000 I know Nick is coming in, but I just came 0:02:58.000 --> 0:03:00.959 in from Chicago. You all went home to some stuff made, 0:03:01.120 --> 0:03:04.360 and Chill came home to hell. So I had to 0:03:04.400 --> 0:03:06.600 come home and cuss my kids out because they did 0:03:06.600 --> 0:03:08.560 not keep my house clean while I was going. So 0:03:08.600 --> 0:03:11.560 I came in acting very black. Then I had to 0:03:11.639 --> 0:03:14.080 leave for about thirty minutes, and then I came back 0:03:14.160 --> 0:03:16.480 and when Lauren came up, Say asked who was playing 0:03:16.520 --> 0:03:19.359 on the radio, y'landa adam. That's when I knew something 0:03:19.440 --> 0:03:21.560 was wrong. Y'all. She was going to church, and I said, oh, 0:03:21.600 --> 0:03:23.919 Lord was in the midst of it all, and the 0:03:23.960 --> 0:03:25.840 battle was not about to be the Lord's. It was 0:03:25.880 --> 0:03:27.639 about to be man because I was about to funk 0:03:27.680 --> 0:03:29.240 all three of my kids up. Let me just be 0:03:29.280 --> 0:03:31.200 real honest with y'all this morning, since I just got 0:03:31.320 --> 0:03:36.119 that Southwest playing Good Morning, Flames, Well, how triple hello kids? 0:03:36.120 --> 0:03:38.520 Though I cameraman, this kiddo was here, I produced a 0:03:38.560 --> 0:03:41.800 triple was here? Where is Nick? Nick is not here? Yes, 0:03:42.040 --> 0:03:45.040 let's bring Nick in everyone. Well, anyway, Nick, how was 0:03:45.080 --> 0:03:47.480 your weekend? My weekend was good, you know, Lauren. I 0:03:47.520 --> 0:03:50.440 spent the day running around today, don't laugh. Flame and 0:03:50.440 --> 0:03:51.960 I had this talk. It looks like I'm going to 0:03:52.080 --> 0:03:55.200 be here and Arkansas a little bit longer than I 0:03:55.240 --> 0:03:58.240 had thought. Uh so I've been spending time kind of 0:03:58.360 --> 0:04:00.720 running around looking for a car. So that that's what 0:04:00.840 --> 0:04:03.600 my morning was today. What do you mean You're gonna 0:04:03.600 --> 0:04:05.320 mean in Arkansas longer than you thought? I thought you 0:04:05.520 --> 0:04:08.680 lived there permanently, because you want to tell us something, No, 0:04:08.840 --> 0:04:11.120 I've only been here. I've only been here a year. 0:04:11.480 --> 0:04:15.400 So yeah, so so it looks like I thought it 0:04:15.400 --> 0:04:17.719 would only be a year. But COVID had other plans, 0:04:18.160 --> 0:04:21.440 and uh, I happened to be addicted to gainful employment, 0:04:21.560 --> 0:04:25.159 so flame flame flame. His favorite adages when you don't 0:04:25.160 --> 0:04:28.159 know what to do, Nicholas, just sit still, Just sit still. 0:04:28.360 --> 0:04:30.840 So that's kind of like that. And then I went 0:04:30.880 --> 0:04:33.200 to d C this weekend, Lauren, and I'm gonna tell 0:04:33.200 --> 0:04:36.120 you I thought about you because you and I were 0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:38.440 talking about King and I paid a visit to the 0:04:38.520 --> 0:04:40.120 King Memorial and all that, but you and I have 0:04:40.120 --> 0:04:42.719 just talked about how uh you know, his legacy still 0:04:42.760 --> 0:04:44.200 rings to Atlanta, and I know how much time you 0:04:44.320 --> 0:04:46.240 spent there. So it's just one of those things you 0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:49.080 just feel connected whenever you get a chance to visit, 0:04:49.160 --> 0:04:52.080 you know, the monument and all that. So definitely, yeah, 0:04:52.120 --> 0:04:54.839 I definitely would just make this recommendation if anybody's trying 0:04:54.839 --> 0:04:56.640 to see all the monuments at one time, just get 0:04:56.680 --> 0:04:59.200 on a little scooter. Trust me, It'll save your life 0:04:59.200 --> 0:05:02.120 because I'm I know better. I took a scooter and 0:05:02.160 --> 0:05:04.599 only cost me about twenty three dollars and I was 0:05:04.839 --> 0:05:06.880 all going all around the monuments for about four hours. 0:05:07.040 --> 0:05:09.760 So absolutely it's the most effective way to do it, 0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:13.000 for sure. So and I believe flame you have some 0:05:13.040 --> 0:05:15.440 big news to announce. Correct. We couldn't do it last week, 0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:17.520 we can do it this week. What's the big Oh? Yeah, 0:05:17.520 --> 0:05:19.799 I came home and cuss my kids out. That big no. 0:05:20.320 --> 0:05:22.480 But it does pertain to one of your kids though, 0:05:23.040 --> 0:05:25.320 the same one three I was proud of last week 0:05:25.600 --> 0:05:27.279 when I came home today when I got there plane 0:05:27.279 --> 0:05:29.200 and walked to my house and my house wasn't clean. Oh, 0:05:29.279 --> 0:05:32.000 I showed up like Betty Wright that I was the 0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:35.279 clean up woman. I cussed my kids out. I'm telling 0:05:35.320 --> 0:05:37.440 you all the game, I'm not parents. I'm the regular parent. 0:05:37.520 --> 0:05:41.039 But on the side of that, let's go here that 0:05:41.760 --> 0:05:43.840 last week we were doing Laugh and Learned, and when 0:05:43.839 --> 0:05:45.640 we get off the live, the mailman had runs. I 0:05:45.640 --> 0:05:47.799 wanted got the mail. It was a letter from Tennessee 0:05:47.839 --> 0:05:49.919 State University for my sons. I was like, well, what 0:05:50.080 --> 0:05:52.080 is this. I wanted to open it, but it was 0:05:52.120 --> 0:05:53.960 not addressed to me, and you know it's illegal to 0:05:54.000 --> 0:05:57.279 open somebody else mail as if I give a damn. 0:05:57.920 --> 0:05:59.760 But then I was being courteous. I said, dude, you 0:05:59.800 --> 0:06:01.160 gotta letter. He said, well, I know what that is. 0:06:01.200 --> 0:06:04.640 That's my acceptance letter. I'm like acceptance letter where you 0:06:04.680 --> 0:06:09.080 got accepted. Oh, they emailed me Friday, but he didn't 0:06:09.080 --> 0:06:13.240 tell me. Yeah, Okay, this is the house I live in, y'all, 0:06:13.640 --> 0:06:15.440 not the house that Jack built, the house that the 0:06:15.480 --> 0:06:20.400 training build. So saying all that to say Barbara, well 0:06:20.440 --> 0:06:23.920 I should say JaMarcus aka Barbara got into Tennessee State 0:06:24.000 --> 0:06:27.760 University on a full ride on a full ride turn 0:06:27.920 --> 0:06:30.800 on his college because he is graduating from high school 0:06:30.839 --> 0:06:34.120 with his associates degree. I'm bragging and I'm petting myself 0:06:34.120 --> 0:06:36.760 on the back, and that that that player too, even 0:06:36.760 --> 0:06:38.880 though I'm furious with all three of the asses right now. 0:06:40.160 --> 0:06:44.360 So very exciting news for sure. I'd like to just 0:06:44.440 --> 0:06:46.720 kind of jump on that because I think it's it's 0:06:46.760 --> 0:06:49.359 beyond that. I think it's absolutely fantastic. And this is 0:06:49.400 --> 0:06:52.320 once again flame. I've said it before. Yes, I grew 0:06:52.400 --> 0:06:54.920 up envious of friends of mine who had both parents 0:06:54.920 --> 0:06:58.040 in the home. I didn't have that. There's something to 0:06:58.040 --> 0:07:00.840 be said for the strength of a single parent who 0:07:00.920 --> 0:07:04.719 gives unconditional support. I love my mother so much because 0:07:04.720 --> 0:07:08.040 my mother never allowed me to question what was possible, 0:07:08.279 --> 0:07:10.400 and I love that you continue to push all three 0:07:10.400 --> 0:07:12.600 of them the exact same way. Flame. You can be 0:07:12.640 --> 0:07:15.440 a lot, but you have never had anyone question your 0:07:15.440 --> 0:07:17.520 love and your support to your children, and that is 0:07:17.600 --> 0:07:22.000 evidenced in jamacus. I got to thank you, but I 0:07:22.040 --> 0:07:25.200 got two discrepancies with your statement. First of all, Lord, 0:07:25.280 --> 0:07:31.840 can I be a lot? Huh? And secondly, why did 0:07:31.960 --> 0:07:35.240 you say you said um a single parent in the home. 0:07:35.760 --> 0:07:39.280 Technically it's two of us here. She came through the door, 0:07:39.320 --> 0:07:41.320 and because they asked it out, but he was ready 0:07:41.360 --> 0:07:42.960 to get the belt and be some bass. I'm just 0:07:43.000 --> 0:07:45.560 saying he she, we lives. He she we walked through 0:07:45.600 --> 0:07:47.720 the door this morning. Ready these kids up. Let me 0:07:47.760 --> 0:07:51.480 just be honest with y'all. I'vein't gone for four days. 0:07:51.520 --> 0:07:53.679 I hustle. I don't even expect much for my children, 0:07:53.680 --> 0:07:55.280 but they will keep my house. Claim when I'm gonna 0:07:55.400 --> 0:07:58.920 I will take all apparatus and cell phones, computers, credit 0:07:58.960 --> 0:08:01.400 cards and everything else. And y'all asked to go black. 0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:03.480 Y'all live in the seventies for real, like you, you 0:08:03.560 --> 0:08:08.400 better go play some stickball. I thought, I thought doctor 0:08:08.520 --> 0:08:10.720 Spock and Oprah said that the correct thing to do 0:08:10.800 --> 0:08:13.320 his time out. You talk to your children because you're 0:08:13.480 --> 0:08:16.160 you're angry with yourself, You're not angry with them. It's 0:08:16.160 --> 0:08:22.400 only dirt. That's a joke, right, It did not laying that, Joe, 0:08:22.440 --> 0:08:24.280 get lay flat panpan. I need you to stick the 0:08:24.320 --> 0:08:29.720 news hunting. Speaking of telling jokes, I got on stage 0:08:29.800 --> 0:08:31.760 for the very first time in more than a year 0:08:31.920 --> 0:08:34.160 this past Friday at Club Riddles in Chicago, and it 0:08:34.240 --> 0:08:36.800 was just all right. It wasn't great. I'm sorry faster 0:08:36.880 --> 0:08:38.199 I could not bring y'all on the lab. But the 0:08:38.280 --> 0:08:40.880 club was tripping real hard. It was only like twenty 0:08:40.920 --> 0:08:43.200 four people in the damn club too, but they would 0:08:43.240 --> 0:08:45.400 not let us go laugh. So that's the reason I 0:08:45.440 --> 0:08:47.480 didn't go, I know, y'all. And then then then I 0:08:47.559 --> 0:08:50.880 went dark because I was on something else. I wasn't 0:08:50.920 --> 0:08:54.880 telling jokes, but I was definitely making somebody laugh. Business 0:08:56.920 --> 0:08:58.760 it was. It was. It was some other beauties. It 0:08:58.840 --> 0:09:00.640 was some very personal business. But wasn't not like that. 0:09:02.040 --> 0:09:06.000 Get back on stage. It felt weird. It felt like 0:09:06.080 --> 0:09:08.480 I had to step outside myself and pushed myself to 0:09:08.559 --> 0:09:11.960 get on stage because I hadn't done it, and I'm 0:09:12.000 --> 0:09:14.880 so used to coming to y'all now on here, and 0:09:15.280 --> 0:09:17.400 I couldn't find my footing for like the first three 0:09:17.440 --> 0:09:19.760 and a half minutes because the audience was a little 0:09:21.160 --> 0:09:24.079 through off of me. But then they came around and 0:09:24.160 --> 0:09:25.880 it got better, so it was good. And I started 0:09:25.920 --> 0:09:27.920 with the person who I started doing comedy with, who's 0:09:27.960 --> 0:09:30.560 Damian Williams from Chicago. So I went to his club 0:09:30.679 --> 0:09:32.679 and just showed up and worked with Coco from The 0:09:32.760 --> 0:09:34.680 Choice and she was great. Okay, let's get to topics. 0:09:34.840 --> 0:09:38.520 Enough about me when I'm talking about my look huge, 0:09:38.559 --> 0:09:40.360 So wait a minute. One of the things as we 0:09:40.480 --> 0:09:43.600 moved into transitioning I'm interested in here in flame, Matt 0:09:43.640 --> 0:09:45.680 sound off about this as we continue to talk about 0:09:45.720 --> 0:09:47.800 other things, because we have five really good topics to 0:09:47.880 --> 0:09:50.079 jump into today. But one of the things I noticed 0:09:50.080 --> 0:09:52.160 swallows in d C over the last four or five 0:09:52.240 --> 0:09:55.319 days is that there are a great number of people 0:09:55.480 --> 0:09:58.839 eating outdoors, and I think that what it reminded me of. 0:09:58.880 --> 0:10:01.360 And the weather wasn't the best the entire time. It's 0:10:01.400 --> 0:10:04.360 not California, and I stopped there and I posted this 0:10:04.480 --> 0:10:07.560 question on Instagram last week and opinions were all over 0:10:07.640 --> 0:10:09.880 the place. But I've never been a fan of eating 0:10:09.920 --> 0:10:12.720 outdoors like I'm I'm aware of that I've never enjoyed 0:10:12.760 --> 0:10:16.679 the al fresco, fighting with the elements, sound, streets, bugs, whatever, 0:10:17.280 --> 0:10:20.120 But it seems to be friends mind there, said Nick. 0:10:20.160 --> 0:10:22.000 I think this is the new normal. I think you 0:10:22.120 --> 0:10:24.959 need to expect that everything will be outside now, that 0:10:25.040 --> 0:10:27.640 people won't be comfortable going inside restaurants. And I'm just 0:10:27.760 --> 0:10:29.760 interested to know how you all fail. Do you prefer 0:10:29.840 --> 0:10:32.240 to eat inside or outside or do you care? I 0:10:32.400 --> 0:10:35.680 love a good rooftop situation. And I don't know maybe 0:10:35.800 --> 0:10:38.040 because honestly, like that's really a thing in New York, 0:10:38.320 --> 0:10:40.160 like for instance, like if you talk to like people 0:10:40.200 --> 0:10:42.760 that are from New York, even like my mom, like rooftops, 0:10:42.800 --> 0:10:45.480 outside parties, eating all of that. That's been like a 0:10:45.600 --> 0:10:48.199 thing in New York. I mean in California too, So 0:10:48.600 --> 0:10:50.640 I don't know. Maybe it's just something that's popular among 0:10:50.880 --> 0:10:54.079 my generation. But I love eating outside. You know, it's fun. 0:10:54.320 --> 0:10:56.600 You know, you get some ventilation sometimes when you're inside 0:10:56.640 --> 0:10:58.880 and in closed spaces you may get hot, different things 0:10:58.960 --> 0:11:01.480 like that. I like eating outdoors and hanging out outside. 0:11:01.559 --> 0:11:04.200 It's it's fun for me. I'm not I'm not afraid 0:11:04.320 --> 0:11:09.439 of it because I don't like flies. No, seriously, I 0:11:09.559 --> 0:11:11.599 really have a pet peeve about Flask, Like if a 0:11:11.640 --> 0:11:14.200 flag on me, I'm disgusted because it is a horrible 0:11:14.200 --> 0:11:16.680 beast and if they could kill us, they would. I'm 0:11:16.679 --> 0:11:18.520 trying to fix this head yet my face. But I 0:11:18.559 --> 0:11:20.160 don't like to eat outside because I want to share 0:11:20.160 --> 0:11:21.880 my lunch with Flaws and if they didn't help pay 0:11:21.920 --> 0:11:23.959 for it, they can't eat with me. So that's but 0:11:24.080 --> 0:11:25.839 I do, I mean, I do think that. But you 0:11:25.920 --> 0:11:28.040 know what, it must be something with Beverly Hills, because 0:11:28.120 --> 0:11:29.880 like last year when I had a birthday party at 0:11:29.880 --> 0:11:32.719 Commons House and we said, I'm said, no Flaws and 0:11:32.800 --> 0:11:34.760 he didn't have any of the But so the flawers 0:11:34.880 --> 0:11:37.400 must be trained not to come to Beverly Hills. They 0:11:37.440 --> 0:11:39.040 will not come to nine o two one. Oh, So 0:11:39.520 --> 0:11:41.480 maybe we should get rich. I don't know. Just about 0:11:41.600 --> 0:11:43.679 nine two one, I'm wondering, where are you going to 0:11:43.760 --> 0:11:46.960 eat where you got flies galore? What is the restaurant's 0:11:47.600 --> 0:11:51.240 healthy department rating? Were not indoors outside? That's what I'm saying. 0:11:51.320 --> 0:11:54.720 What's the what's the rest of the restaurant's department of health? 0:11:54.920 --> 0:11:56.920 But I think, because I think part of my issue too, 0:11:57.040 --> 0:11:59.880 is like l A is just fealthy, right, and I 0:12:00.160 --> 0:12:05.520 way hold on back on l A San Francisco, you 0:12:05.559 --> 0:12:07.920 know what I'm saying there. So you you're competing with 0:12:08.040 --> 0:12:11.319 the cars and the Jersey barriers and the smells, and 0:12:15.040 --> 0:12:18.599 are housing insecure possibly, you know, And and it's just 0:12:18.760 --> 0:12:20.720 there are a lot of things happening to distract from 0:12:20.760 --> 0:12:22.840 the meal. I think when you're outside, or that's been 0:12:22.880 --> 0:12:25.240 my experience, particularly when you're offer like mail rolls in 0:12:25.320 --> 0:12:27.280 those areas, you know. But I'm not one of those 0:12:27.360 --> 0:12:29.760 people like you know, like people you're eating and you 0:12:29.840 --> 0:12:34.079 see something disgusting and turn your appetite off. Baby, I'm 0:12:34.160 --> 0:12:35.760 not putting it in my mouth, So it ain't gonna 0:12:35.760 --> 0:12:37.400 turn my appetite. And if I paid for my meal, 0:12:37.440 --> 0:12:39.480 I'm gonna continue eating. I don't give a damn. Don't 0:12:39.520 --> 0:12:43.199 come over here with that, Lauren. Where are we going 0:12:43.320 --> 0:12:47.040 this morning? Um? Honestly, we got a lot of things 0:12:47.120 --> 0:12:49.400 to talk about. We have, we have a topic to 0:12:49.520 --> 0:12:51.439 start with. I think we can still start there, but 0:12:51.840 --> 0:12:53.800 as you I'm sure, no, Nick, We're going to add 0:12:54.080 --> 0:12:58.319 something else that has to be discussed. Yeah, So, um, 0:12:58.760 --> 0:13:01.640 we can honestly, let's start the Black Army officer that 0:13:01.720 --> 0:13:03.800 was pep pepper sprayed in the traffic stop. And there's 0:13:03.800 --> 0:13:05.959 been some new developments around that two hours of this morning, 0:13:06.800 --> 0:13:09.360 which is great for me because we remember last week 0:13:09.400 --> 0:13:11.439 when I told you all that they called me about 0:13:11.520 --> 0:13:14.920 my son joining the military, and I said, absolutely not. 0:13:15.360 --> 0:13:17.679 And this black man has shown he was a lieutenant 0:13:17.800 --> 0:13:21.080 right and they have disrespected him. And he was so cordial, 0:13:21.640 --> 0:13:24.840 very professional. He was articulated in his speech. He kept 0:13:24.880 --> 0:13:28.760 a calm, cool temperature. He really tried to de escalate 0:13:28.840 --> 0:13:31.160 that situation. I watched that on the plane, and I'm 0:13:31.200 --> 0:13:33.439 telling you I've watched it three times to watch this 0:13:33.640 --> 0:13:38.120 man really tried to control the narrative of the situation. 0:13:38.200 --> 0:13:41.280 He never was hostile, he never changed his tone and 0:13:41.440 --> 0:13:45.200 his voice. And this officer was just determined to do something. 0:13:45.240 --> 0:13:47.760 Have something happened. He sprayed. The man man lost his job. 0:13:47.800 --> 0:13:49.640 He's gonna sue his ass. I wish he would have 0:13:49.720 --> 0:13:52.240 put that. I keep telling y'all, they keep giving these 0:13:52.280 --> 0:13:55.080 police officer, these cowboys keep getting guns and pepper spray 0:13:55.160 --> 0:13:58.520 and tastes and pass this stawed taking their pensions. Him 0:13:58.559 --> 0:14:00.880 getting fired is not enough for because all he gonna 0:14:00.880 --> 0:14:02.880 do is go up the street and get another damn 0:14:02.960 --> 0:14:06.439 job as a police officers somewhere else snatched that nigga's pension. 0:14:07.320 --> 0:14:09.760 When you put your hand in somebody's pocket, you make 0:14:09.800 --> 0:14:13.000 them pay attention to what you're saying. Is talking about 0:14:13.040 --> 0:14:17.080 Second Lieutenant Caron Nazario. He was in uniform being pepper 0:14:17.120 --> 0:14:19.960 sprayed and forcibly removed from his vehicle and put to 0:14:20.040 --> 0:14:22.600 the ground. And that video one viral last week. The 0:14:22.640 --> 0:14:27.400 incident actually happened in December, after traffic stop. He was 0:14:27.480 --> 0:14:32.040 in uniform and the officer which again uh, the officer 0:14:32.200 --> 0:14:34.800 has since been released from his job. But I also 0:14:34.880 --> 0:14:37.080 think flame just because you touched on that, I think 0:14:37.120 --> 0:14:39.320 this is also a testament to his training, and I 0:14:39.440 --> 0:14:42.160 think that that is just another additional value I think 0:14:42.280 --> 0:14:44.240 of the military is how he was able to stay 0:14:44.280 --> 0:14:47.560 calm in that situation. You you laud at his professionalism 0:14:47.640 --> 0:14:49.600 in that moment, and I do think that that helped 0:14:49.880 --> 0:14:52.240 even a horrible situation, at least he served you know 0:14:52.360 --> 0:14:54.400 that he was able to survive. I think the the 0:14:54.720 --> 0:14:57.560 weight of that situation falls on the officers that I 0:14:57.720 --> 0:15:00.960 believe acted inappropriately. But I think that the officer is 0:15:01.000 --> 0:15:03.040 to be commended for the way he handled the situation. 0:15:03.240 --> 0:15:05.400 I'm not gonna just give the military a pass on 0:15:05.520 --> 0:15:08.200 saying that he was he got that tolerance from the military. 0:15:08.240 --> 0:15:10.280 I'm gonna say that he was trained by his parents. 0:15:10.320 --> 0:15:13.880 Whoever raised him taught him that. The military, who teaches 0:15:13.920 --> 0:15:17.000 you discipline, it also teaches you how to be ready 0:15:17.000 --> 0:15:19.840 and on time and respectful. But I'm gonna say that 0:15:19.920 --> 0:15:22.440 that timperment, that coolman that he had, not only did 0:15:22.520 --> 0:15:24.480 he have the black talk from whatever house he was 0:15:24.560 --> 0:15:27.120 raised up in, which we have all had the black talk. 0:15:27.600 --> 0:15:29.120 If you don't know what the black talking is on 0:15:29.200 --> 0:15:31.520 this page, I ain't gonna explain it to you. Google it. 0:15:31.880 --> 0:15:33.840 If you ain't had the black talk. Somebody gave him 0:15:33.880 --> 0:15:36.240 the black He knew how to handle that situation. I 0:15:36.360 --> 0:15:38.760 do believe that he learned some tactics in the military, 0:15:38.760 --> 0:15:40.920 But I ain't given the military ship. The military have 0:15:41.000 --> 0:15:42.920 not respected the veterans. I did ain't even about the 0:15:42.960 --> 0:15:46.040 black men, veterans period, veterans in this country who have 0:15:46.160 --> 0:15:48.760 stood up and fought on the front line, lost Lamb's 0:15:48.920 --> 0:15:51.440 arms and some of them that damn mind. Some of 0:15:51.520 --> 0:15:53.200 these people are still alive, but they don't even know 0:15:53.240 --> 0:15:57.280 who they are, and the military does not not Just 0:15:57.560 --> 0:15:59.160 just to let you know, that's not a reflection on 0:15:59.240 --> 0:16:02.320 the military flight. That's a reflection on society at large 0:16:02.400 --> 0:16:05.680 that does not value military service. That's a reflection on 0:16:05.800 --> 0:16:08.000 military nicklace. Because don't they have the v A. The 0:16:08.160 --> 0:16:09.920 v A is a part of the military, and the 0:16:10.040 --> 0:16:14.200 Veterans Administration is a Vetterans Administration as a government agency, 0:16:14.240 --> 0:16:16.120 as a federal agency, is not part of the military. 0:16:16.280 --> 0:16:20.160 What is the military is the military government. The military 0:16:20.360 --> 0:16:23.720 is a branch as another Armed services is definitely part 0:16:23.800 --> 0:16:27.280 of the federal government. Right whatever. But what I'm saying 0:16:27.400 --> 0:16:33.160 is I thought you were yes, got you don't get 0:16:33.200 --> 0:16:35.880 off topic, come out. No, I'm just saying that I 0:16:36.000 --> 0:16:37.840 think that we have to commend because I think they 0:16:37.920 --> 0:16:41.400 love the military and military I just don't I just 0:16:41.480 --> 0:16:43.880 don't think that they deserve blame in this situation. I 0:16:44.000 --> 0:16:46.440 was saying, I think that, like all of us, where 0:16:46.560 --> 0:16:48.280 some of all of our parts right, And I think 0:16:48.320 --> 0:16:50.880 that I wanted to just applaud the way he handled that. 0:16:51.040 --> 0:16:53.280 I thought that he was to be commended. I did 0:16:53.360 --> 0:16:56.600 not think he was a lieutenant. Yes, I definitely not 0:16:56.880 --> 0:16:58.960 definitely not a fault. He was all I wanted to say. 0:16:59.040 --> 0:17:01.520 He was. He wanted to get home. Now, that was 0:17:01.560 --> 0:17:03.560 a point you definitely made. He wanted to get home 0:17:03.640 --> 0:17:07.760 to his family. But but while we got to kiss ass, 0:17:07.960 --> 0:17:11.400 why we gotta make why I gotta be apologetic when 0:17:11.440 --> 0:17:14.560 I haven't even done anything wrong. The officer never even 0:17:14.760 --> 0:17:17.440 said why he pulled him over, and he kept saying, 0:17:17.440 --> 0:17:20.080 I asked you three times, why did you pull me up? 0:17:20.200 --> 0:17:22.440 He DEVI gave him. This is what I'm talking about. 0:17:22.680 --> 0:17:24.320 They didn't. He didn't give a funk. He had a 0:17:24.400 --> 0:17:26.840 gun and a badge, and it was gonna be okay. 0:17:26.920 --> 0:17:29.840 If if this guy would have given him any aggression. 0:17:30.200 --> 0:17:33.040 And you know that we speak aggressively, I speak aggressively. 0:17:33.920 --> 0:17:36.159 He at least he was schooled enough to know that 0:17:36.240 --> 0:17:38.320 because he got home to his family. Now the guy 0:17:38.480 --> 0:17:40.560 lost his job, but he gonna get another job. And 0:17:40.640 --> 0:17:43.040 I hope they sue his ass. I hope they's what 0:17:43.200 --> 0:17:46.600 city was that, Norfolk, Virginia. I hope they cleaned his 0:17:46.720 --> 0:17:49.080 and I hope he cleaned the police station out. Well 0:17:49.680 --> 0:17:52.480 to both of you guys points, I think that he 0:17:52.640 --> 0:17:54.760 definitely knew what to do because he drove I think, 0:17:54.800 --> 0:17:57.280 like another half a mile into a very well at 0:17:57.359 --> 0:18:00.480 gas station, which I think he was a smart to 0:18:00.560 --> 0:18:02.680 do because had this been outside on the you know, 0:18:02.800 --> 0:18:05.159 the side of the road, it was dark. Virginia doesn't 0:18:05.160 --> 0:18:07.040 really have a lot of lights. If you've been to Virginia, 0:18:07.480 --> 0:18:09.200 it's not a well lit area where he was. So 0:18:09.280 --> 0:18:10.760 I'm glad that he was able to go to this 0:18:10.840 --> 0:18:13.280 gas station. I'm glad that they have the footage so 0:18:13.359 --> 0:18:16.320 they can see what this officer was doing. And at 0:18:16.320 --> 0:18:19.040 the end of the day, it's just, you know, this 0:18:19.200 --> 0:18:21.359 is why I totally agree with Flame in terms of 0:18:21.640 --> 0:18:24.800 you want these young black men to go and serve 0:18:24.880 --> 0:18:26.840 your country, but when you come back to this country, 0:18:27.119 --> 0:18:30.200 you're not given the slightest bit of respect at all. 0:18:30.760 --> 0:18:34.120 So I just, um, it's sad to see another case 0:18:34.200 --> 0:18:36.840 of this, another incident. And I also saw another report 0:18:36.920 --> 0:18:40.280 that's saying since the beginning of there's been at least 0:18:40.320 --> 0:18:44.720 two hundred traffic involved stops among black people of or 0:18:44.760 --> 0:18:47.560 people of color rather where it's been an officer involved shooting. 0:18:48.200 --> 0:18:50.120 And it's only April it's been two hundred of these. 0:18:50.320 --> 0:18:53.520 So and Nicholas, you have that temperament you do you 0:18:53.680 --> 0:18:55.879 you because Rogette, I know your mama talked to you, 0:18:56.040 --> 0:18:57.520 and since she gave you to talk about you know 0:18:57.640 --> 0:18:59.680 how to because I saw you when we had that 0:18:59.760 --> 0:19:03.120 all occation with that guy, remember when we did the show. 0:19:03.800 --> 0:19:06.240 But that wouldn't have been me. See and see, I'm 0:19:06.280 --> 0:19:08.520 not that person. And if the officer would have got 0:19:08.560 --> 0:19:10.879 disrespectful and loud, guess what I was gonna do. I 0:19:11.000 --> 0:19:14.119 was gonna get disrespectful and loud. And I'm not not 0:19:14.280 --> 0:19:18.040 thinking even though my grown manness or grown person, this 0:19:18.280 --> 0:19:19.919 need to jump in and say you need to get 0:19:19.960 --> 0:19:23.000 home to your kids. Just calming down. But the officer 0:19:23.240 --> 0:19:26.680 was aggressive. He didn't want he wanted to be challenged. 0:19:26.880 --> 0:19:29.399 He was pushing it to be challenged. I thought the 0:19:29.480 --> 0:19:34.480 officer was unnecessarily aggressive. When when we saw Lieutenant Azario 0:19:35.080 --> 0:19:37.879 put his hands out the window, He's talking to him calmly. 0:19:38.160 --> 0:19:40.639 He drove slowly, Lauren. We you know we talked about that. 0:19:40.640 --> 0:19:43.240 He drove slowly to the fire, to the gas station, 0:19:43.359 --> 0:19:45.399 like I'm not trying to get away, I'm just getting 0:19:45.400 --> 0:19:47.600 to a wellded area. I just want hey, I want 0:19:47.600 --> 0:19:49.520 to know what's going on. Hands are out the window, 0:19:49.560 --> 0:19:51.680 can you tell me what's going on, and he's just 0:19:51.880 --> 0:19:53.960 yelling at him, and and and I don't know. I 0:19:54.040 --> 0:19:56.680 just felt like that was completely unnecessary. Well, this is 0:19:56.760 --> 0:19:59.040 a setup too, because the officer was saying, keep your 0:19:59.080 --> 0:20:00.480 hands out the window where I I can see you, 0:20:00.560 --> 0:20:02.560 but take your seat built off and step out the car. 0:20:03.080 --> 0:20:05.880 So if he puts his hand back in the car, 0:20:06.040 --> 0:20:08.119 does that give you license to, now what, shoot him? 0:20:08.160 --> 0:20:10.960
