You know, I was really good on Friday, 0:03:12.639 --> 0:03:15.240 pretty good on Saturday. Sunday it was a little rough 0:03:15.280 --> 0:03:17.639 and I had a had a red eye afterwards, so 0:03:17.680 --> 0:03:20.040 I was a little intoxicated on my flight, almost threw up. 0:03:20.040 --> 0:03:21.600 But you know, we made it.

You suppose to you when you're young, you 0:03:26.560 --> 0:03:28.040 supposed to have a good time. When you get old, 0:03:28.080 --> 0:03:30.040 you get mad at everybody.

Wednesday we 0:03:37.600 --> 0:03:40.920 did the Three Voices at the Hollywood Laugh Factory. Of 0:03:41.000 --> 0:03:43.000 course we'll be there to my tomorrow's Gang Gang Night, 0:03:43.000 --> 0:03:46.160 by the way. Thursday, I spoke at the Karen Bass 0:03:46.200 --> 0:03:49.560 political fundraiser at the Hollywood Laugh Factory and it was 0:03:49.640 --> 0:03:52.440 quite I wasn't on the show, but Jamie macided only 0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:54.800 invited me to come, so I'm there and I knew 0:03:54.840 --> 0:03:56.520 it was a political rally, so I covered up. I 0:03:56.560 --> 0:03:59.360 didn't showed no cleavage. I was oh, I was what 0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:05.600 I was, everything right right? And so when I was there, 0:04:05.720 --> 0:04:07.880 sent you. The entertainer had to leave while will I 0:04:07.880 --> 0:04:10.760 amazon the stage speaking and Jimmy Massara asked me to 0:04:10.760 --> 0:04:14.279 close out the show. So I went up no, no introduction, 0:04:14.360 --> 0:04:17.799 just cold turkey. Turned the show out. Come to find 0:04:17.800 --> 0:04:21.919 out that they asked me, your partner, your client, to 0:04:22.000 --> 0:04:25.000 speak at the Democratic National Convention because they love the 0:04:25.000 --> 0:04:27.599 message that I conveyed about voting and who I am 0:04:27.640 --> 0:04:29.479 as a person. And I thought it was great and 0:04:29.520 --> 0:04:33.760 the only message I pushed the Lauren. Yep, I'm black first, YEP, 0:04:33.960 --> 0:04:37.080 I am transgender, Yep, I'm an entertainer. But I pushed 0:04:37.080 --> 0:04:41.320 to those people that I am a registered voting American 0:04:41.400 --> 0:04:44.160 citizen of the East United States. And as soon as 0:04:44.200 --> 0:04:47.000 we want to know what American, an American citizen looks like, 0:04:47.480 --> 0:04:49.919 go to your mirror with your registration, called your voters 0:04:49.920 --> 0:04:52.840 registration car and you, my dear on America. We told 0:04:52.839 --> 0:04:55.040 the v and they loved the message. They loved how 0:04:55.080 --> 0:04:56.760 I did it, so they asked me to speak. Now, 0:04:56.839 --> 0:04:59.240 mind you, the hardest probably gonna be what I'm aware 0:04:59.279 --> 0:05:01.000 at the d n C, because you know, I can't 0:05:01.000 --> 0:05:03.479 show no skin. Child. I'm gonna easier just to put 0:05:03.480 --> 0:05:06.359 on a nice blazer, you know, maybe a little skirt. 0:05:06.560 --> 0:05:08.159 You know, you can show a little leg, but the 0:05:08.720 --> 0:05:10.720 you gonna have to cover the girls up. I'm gonna 0:05:10.760 --> 0:05:14.000 cover I'm gonna look like I'm have on a hit 0:05:14.160 --> 0:05:20.320 job and everything very covered. But it will be type 0:05:20.400 --> 0:05:23.520 as as oh, your panties. I wanted to fit me 0:05:23.600 --> 0:05:25.960 like a bodyguard. They just say it couldn't show the shape. 0:05:26.000 --> 0:05:28.200 They just said I couldn't show no skin. I think 0:05:28.200 --> 0:05:30.720 it was implied. I think it was implied. I'm just 0:05:30.720 --> 0:05:34.320 gonna throw that out there just then, heels. I didn't 0:05:34.320 --> 0:05:36.680 hear that. All I heard was wake it up and 0:05:36.720 --> 0:05:38.400 shake it up. And I'm like, oh, I can do that. 0:05:40.600 --> 0:05:43.039 But I think it's gonna be great, and I think 0:05:43.080 --> 0:05:46.480 that it's going to be wonderful. A for my career, 0:05:46.520 --> 0:05:49.640 be for our for a podcast, laugh and learn and see. 0:05:49.720 --> 0:05:52.920 Just to push the importance of voting, because I think 0:05:52.960 --> 0:05:55.640 a lot of people miss that. And like I said 0:05:55.640 --> 0:05:58.000 it on the microphone, I don't know what party you represent. 0:05:58.080 --> 0:06:00.080 That ain't even that important to me all the I 0:06:00.120 --> 0:06:02.920 know it really is as a Democrat, But I just 0:06:02.960 --> 0:06:05.599 want you to utilize the power that you have, which 0:06:05.640 --> 0:06:07.560 is your vote. Get your butt up and go to 0:06:07.560 --> 0:06:10.040 the pos and vote. That is very important. So it's 0:06:10.040 --> 0:06:11.640 so funny that you say that, because I kind of 0:06:11.680 --> 0:06:14.279 want a segue and I'm kind of getting off topic. 0:06:14.360 --> 0:06:16.520 But you just jogged my memory about something and do 0:06:16.560 --> 0:06:23.440 it last weekend, So you know, early voting started in Georgia. Um, 0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:26.640 I think this past last Tuesday, so it's been going 0:06:26.640 --> 0:06:29.000 on for about a week. Um. But I actually read 0:06:29.040 --> 0:06:32.960 an article that was supposted by Shaun King that a 0:06:33.080 --> 0:06:36.000 student that attends the Morehouse School of Medicine, This young girl, 0:06:36.520 --> 0:06:39.520 she went in to basically exercise her right to vote 0:06:39.520 --> 0:06:43.600 and perform early voting. When she got there, they basically 0:06:43.680 --> 0:06:47.159 challenged her voter eligibility and we're trying to force her 0:06:47.480 --> 0:06:50.440 to fill out of provisional ballot. She said that she 0:06:50.480 --> 0:06:53.520 felt very intimidated and she felt like, you know, she 0:06:53.640 --> 0:06:56.480 was really being almost like cornered. So she ended up 0:06:56.520 --> 0:06:59.880 leaving and she didn't vote. So what's happening in Georgia 0:07:00.040 --> 0:07:03.800 now is basically they passed a law where citizens or 0:07:03.839 --> 0:07:08.719 poll workers can actually challenge you on your voter eligibility 0:07:08.760 --> 0:07:11.480 and basically, if you don't pass their test, they're not 0:07:11.520 --> 0:07:14.480 gonna allow you to vote. Sound familiar about you know 0:07:16.280 --> 0:07:19.360 how many marbles that in this jar? Exactly? So it's 0:07:19.400 --> 0:07:22.840 literally like we are back in the nineteen you know, 0:07:22.960 --> 0:07:25.480 fifties and sixties, when you know there was this big 0:07:25.520 --> 0:07:28.960 boom around you know, voting and especially in Georgia, and 0:07:29.040 --> 0:07:32.720 such a key race with Stacy Abrams, Brian Kemp, Raphael Warnock, 0:07:33.440 --> 0:07:36.920 Herschel Walker. So there's these keys um races that are 0:07:36.960 --> 0:07:41.480 happening in the state, and they're practicing voter suppression again 0:07:42.320 --> 0:07:44.720 to make sure that us we don't vote or make 0:07:44.760 --> 0:07:47.119 it difficult for us to exercise our right to vote. 0:07:47.600 --> 0:07:50.360 So that's that is quite scary. And it always goes 0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:53.440 back to what you said shot a year ago. Um, 0:07:53.600 --> 0:07:55.880 if I vote wasn't so important, why would why would 0:07:55.880 --> 0:07:57.760 they do so many things to try to discard it? 0:07:57.920 --> 0:08:00.040 And you made me think of something that happens. So 0:08:00.200 --> 0:08:05.360 I attended the gree Awards on this weekend, and there 0:08:05.440 --> 0:08:08.240 was a young lady, a thirteen year old girl. She's uh, 0:08:08.320 --> 0:08:10.960 the first Fina saw. She's the first person. She was 0:08:10.960 --> 0:08:13.040 the youngest person ever worked fin Saw and she just 0:08:13.080 --> 0:08:17.360 got accepted to medical school. Her name Blue eludes me. 0:08:17.600 --> 0:08:21.440 You google you y'all know any who. She was making 0:08:21.440 --> 0:08:24.120 this great speech because they honored her at the gree Awards. 0:08:24.160 --> 0:08:26.320 By the way, the gree Awards will become out Oscars. 0:08:26.400 --> 0:08:29.480 It was so classy, so wonderful and well put together 0:08:29.520 --> 0:08:32.920 Byron Allen did an amazing job at the whole black 0:08:32.920 --> 0:08:36.240 people dressed up in honoring us and us speaking so well. 0:08:36.800 --> 0:08:39.800 And this girl did not have a prepared speech, low 0:08:39.800 --> 0:08:41.800 and and she was talking about why I was so 0:08:41.840 --> 0:08:44.440 important for her to help people who she was and 0:08:44.559 --> 0:08:46.679 she has done all of these great things in her 0:08:46.720 --> 0:08:50.520 young thirteen years. And she kept giggling and laughing, and 0:08:50.559 --> 0:08:52.920 I was speaking to a ban and Abran was said, 0:08:53.320 --> 0:08:55.240 I don't like that she didn't have a prepared speech. 0:08:55.280 --> 0:08:57.320 I thought that her mom should have prepared her speech. 0:08:57.520 --> 0:09:01.040 And I told April what she did though, was reminded 0:09:01.160 --> 0:09:04.240 us that she was a thirteen year old kid, and 0:09:04.320 --> 0:09:06.920 I thought that that was fantastic because with all her 0:09:06.960 --> 0:09:11.360 great accomplishments, she's still a little girl. And she remembered that. Well. 0:09:11.400 --> 0:09:13.600 I think that what you're saying, though, is so important 0:09:13.640 --> 0:09:17.240 because I think, especially because you know, I think as 0:09:17.280 --> 0:09:21.200 black women, you know, our innocence, or like our our 0:09:21.280 --> 0:09:24.160 childhood innocence is almost taken away from us so quickly. 0:09:24.600 --> 0:09:26.320 So I love that you said that to April, that 0:09:27.240 --> 0:09:29.920 she's still a child and in those moments of her speaking, 0:09:30.280 --> 0:09:33.120 she was able to remind the audience that yes, while 0:09:33.160 --> 0:09:35.319 I am still a child, I'm still doing great things, 0:09:36.000 --> 0:09:38.079 but I'm still a child at the end of the day, 0:09:38.520 --> 0:09:40.440 you know. And it was so a dope and went 0:09:40.559 --> 0:09:42.880 at the end because I think the three Awards aired 0:09:42.960 --> 0:09:46.280 November five, she cut one of her dreadlocks for the 0:09:46.360 --> 0:09:49.199 young lady that was killed and Iran who had the 0:09:49.280 --> 0:09:52.880 her job on wrong to show solidarity in women and 0:09:52.960 --> 0:09:55.640 the power of the youth and young ladies. And oh 0:09:55.679 --> 0:09:59.400 my god, this little girl had my ass flooded because 0:09:59.600 --> 0:10:02.320 she was so even with the Tyler Perry's and the 0:10:02.760 --> 0:10:05.400 and the Dave Chappelle's and the Queenslan thief Is, all 0:10:05.400 --> 0:10:08.880 these big names, this little girl was a powerhouse Lauren. 0:10:09.160 --> 0:10:12.000 And I love the fact that she remembered that she 0:10:12.160 --> 0:10:15.200 was a little girl. It was so adorable. But the 0:10:15.240 --> 0:10:18.840 Grill Awards was great, hosted by Sherl Underwood and Tay Diggs. 0:10:19.440 --> 0:10:21.520 And the only issue I had that Sherl didn't change 0:10:21.600 --> 0:10:24.680 dresses because I would have changed dress about times. Didn't 0:10:24.760 --> 0:10:30.520 do that. But I do want to also say something too. 0:10:30.640 --> 0:10:32.400 I know you like to talk about the gen z 0:10:32.440 --> 0:10:35.280 Ears and that last generation. I'm telling you there's something 0:10:35.280 --> 0:10:38.320 special about them. I know people love to talk about them, 0:10:38.360 --> 0:10:41.400 how they're lazy, they're this, they're that. There's some brilliant 0:10:41.440 --> 0:10:45.360 minds in that generation. That's all I'm gonna say. Raised 0:10:45.360 --> 0:10:48.040 in a single parent household, just by her mom. Her 0:10:48.080 --> 0:10:50.960 mother was there, and the mother was so supported. She 0:10:51.000 --> 0:10:53.760 talked about the support from him. I love that because 0:10:53.800 --> 0:10:57.680 I love when young sisters have a strong mother too 0:10:58.559 --> 0:11:01.400 to guide them and too mo them. I eat you 0:11:01.480 --> 0:11:03.200 because you know, I thought you was about forty five 0:11:03.320 --> 0:11:06.280 on your business savvy, not because the way that I looked, 0:11:06.280 --> 0:11:09.760 just because we got to clarify that, you know me 0:11:09.800 --> 0:11:17.240 and and oh my god, thirty three or thirty four, 0:11:17.400 --> 0:11:20.199 and you said when you said at twenty four, I say, girl, 0:11:20.280 --> 0:11:26.520 you laugh. But it was an amazing and your and 0:11:26.559 --> 0:11:31.120 your your me flamemon bro, your client made the giddy images. 0:11:31.600 --> 0:11:35.520 I saw them. You looked account dress. That was a 0:11:35.520 --> 0:11:37.640 bank account dress. A bank account dress. Is that you 0:11:37.640 --> 0:11:40.160 gotta put some innute in order to get somebody? Did 0:11:40.240 --> 0:11:46.360 you see what I put in fit like that? You 0:11:46.440 --> 0:11:49.320 looked like it was a woman. Oh my goodness, that 0:11:49.400 --> 0:11:51.960 was an amazing event, and we had a good time. 0:11:52.040 --> 0:11:54.680 And I'm telling you right now you might be onto 0:11:54.720 --> 0:11:57.360 something with these jmseys because that little girl was so 0:11:57.800 --> 0:12:02.199 remarkable to me, and um, it just set the president itself. 0:12:02.320 --> 0:12:04.600 This is going to be our Oscars. Degree Awards will 0:12:04.600 --> 0:12:07.920 probably be probably become our Oscars. It was just that 0:12:08.080 --> 0:12:11.120 magnanimous to me. Well, they're starting to create things for us, 0:12:11.160 --> 0:12:13.800 which I mean we always still have, like the Image Awards. Obviously, 0:12:13.960 --> 0:12:17.080 we're creating things for us exactly we have Image Awards, 0:12:17.559 --> 0:12:20.040 um now the Great Awards, and then even you know 0:12:20.120 --> 0:12:23.400 what um Tina Lawson does with the Wordable Art Galla, 0:12:23.480 --> 0:12:26.200 that's turning into our Black met Gala, you know what 0:12:26.240 --> 0:12:28.720 I mean. I want to invite to that next year. 0:12:29.000 --> 0:12:30.880 I've actually this is the first year I actually haven't 0:12:30.880 --> 0:12:33.800 gone because I was in Atlanta for Homecoming, but i've 0:12:33.840 --> 0:12:35.839 pretty I think, yeah, I've been actually every year that 0:12:35.880 --> 0:12:38.960 she's had it. It's a beautiful event, it's beautiful affair. 0:12:39.280 --> 0:12:42.079 She raises a lot of money. The program is always 0:12:42.240 --> 0:12:45.080 really fantastic. So I'm sad I couldn't go, but I 0:12:45.120 --> 0:12:48.080 had to go to Atlanta and get my Black Excellence on. 0:12:48.160 --> 0:12:53.680 But so yeah, she raised five millions year. So we 0:12:53.760 --> 0:12:57.000 are two weeks away from election, but it's so many 0:12:57.440 --> 0:13:00.240 debates going on now. They did have a debate eight 0:13:01.440 --> 0:13:04.920 um what debates that I watched when I ain't watched 0:13:04.960 --> 0:13:07.959 none of him in in in full because Kentman, did 0:13:07.960 --> 0:13:10.839 you watch that one tonight? That one is going actually 0:13:10.880 --> 0:13:13.199 went on tonight? No, But I was with feed a Man, 0:13:13.400 --> 0:13:15.319 and I'm telling I never trusted Dr Oz. I think 0:13:15.320 --> 0:13:18.280 we talked about this on Episodes of Laughing a while ago. 0:13:18.320 --> 0:13:20.320 I told you I never trusted him because he always 0:13:20.320 --> 0:13:22.880 had looked to me and I never believed in his 0:13:23.280 --> 0:13:25.640 in his medical whatever he was saying, it was always 0:13:25.720 --> 0:13:28.760 for show. But then he jumped into the political game. 0:13:28.840 --> 0:13:32.599 He went far left or which yeah, far left? Was 0:13:32.640 --> 0:13:35.760 it far right? Which one was it? You know? It's 0:13:35.800 --> 0:13:38.840 interesting because I never knew that he was a Republican 0:13:38.920 --> 0:13:42.400 and a Trump supporter. So when he came out, as 0:13:42.440 --> 0:13:45.160 you know, running on the Republican side of things, I 0:13:45.200 --> 0:13:47.800 was very shocked and appalled, and I was like, dang, 0:13:47.880 --> 0:13:50.280 I can't really take advice on anything that you say now, 0:13:50.600 --> 0:13:53.760 especially not medically, because I don't know what's biased and 0:13:53.800 --> 0:13:57.560 what's skewed in your eyes. But um, I hope that 0:13:57.600 --> 0:14:00.360 he looses. That's all I can really say. I really 0:14:02.520 --> 0:14:05.199 Fetterman had a stroke, you know, a while ago, and 0:14:05.640 --> 0:14:10.520 Dr Oz actually used that in his campaign to speak 0:14:10.559 --> 0:14:13.240 Fetterman to say that he had medical issues and and 0:14:13.320 --> 0:14:15.520 not nicely. So now he's trying to clean that up 0:14:15.559 --> 0:14:18.480 because he saw that he was still losing and and 0:14:18.640 --> 0:14:21.880 now reported according to the news, he's trying to get 0:14:21.880 --> 0:14:25.920 as far away from that Trump whatever that is. It's 0:14:25.960 --> 0:14:29.920 possible because it's like a cloud of gloom and doom. Well, 0:14:29.920 --> 0:14:33.960 it's interesting too of how some Republicans are shifting. Um. 0:14:34.080 --> 0:14:36.200 For instance, there was an ad that I saw while 0:14:36.240 --> 0:14:40.640 I was in Atlanta. Um it was I forgot the organization, 0:14:40.680 --> 0:14:43.880 but it was like Republicans for credibility. They actually ran 0:14:43.880 --> 0:14:47.120 an ad against herschel Walker. I couldn't believe it. And 0:14:47.160 --> 0:14:50.840 it was a Republican organization that paid for primetime TV 0:14:50.960 --> 0:14:56.320 ad to run against herschel Walker. Yeah, lots of rats 0:14:56.320 --> 0:14:58.520 to jumping ship, and lots of people are starting to 0:14:58.560 --> 0:15:01.600 see things for what they were. Let's tegue into it, 0:15:01.760 --> 0:15:08.160 ye yee. And speaking of jumping ship, I'm not about 0:15:08.880 --> 0:15:11.160 I'm not laughing at the man's pain. But when he 0:15:11.240 --> 0:15:14.720 said anything negative about black people, there was no repercussions, 0:15:14.800 --> 0:15:18.120 There was no backlash, there was no nothing. Baby. He 0:15:18.160 --> 0:15:20.680 said something about the Jewish community, and when I tell you, 0:15:20.720 --> 0:15:25.400 they are snatching things left right, sideways, up under, over between, 0:15:25.560 --> 0:15:28.920 back to behind the door, through the gangway. Oh my grandma, 0:15:29.000 --> 0:15:33.360 it's in the gangway, baby, everybody running ship. They like 0:15:33.480 --> 0:15:38.800 rats on the Titanic. Listen. Mine. My main issue at 0:15:38.800 --> 0:15:41.000 this point in time is I just find it interesting 0:15:41.760 --> 0:15:47.280 that Kanye West has made so many hateful comments about 0:15:47.360 --> 0:15:50.240 black folks, the black community. So whether it was slavery 0:15:50.320 --> 0:15:54.280 was a choice, or wearing a White Lives Matter T shirt, 0:15:55.320 --> 0:15:59.000 these are recent things. But he said so many degrading 0:15:59.040 --> 0:16:04.760 things about black people. These big companies, Adida's Gap, Valenciaga, 0:16:05.080 --> 0:16:07.960 nobody cared about that. But as soon as he offended 0:16:08.000 --> 0:16:11.960 the Jewish community, all bets are off. They got a 0:16:12.000 --> 0:16:18.120 part ways. Oh he's racist, He's making all these comments there. 0:16:18.520 --> 0:16:21.400 He's losing everything, he really is. His net worth literally 0:16:21.400 --> 0:16:25.000 plummeted by millions, hundreds of millions of dollars. Today, Forbes 0:16:25.040 --> 0:16:28.960 removed him off of the billionaire list based on his 0:16:29.000 --> 0:16:32.760 net worth dropping so much after Um, Adidas dropped him. 0:16:32.760 --> 0:16:35.960 Today officially parted ways. But it's just so interesting to 0:16:36.040 --> 0:16:41.080 me that once you offend the Jewish community, that that's 0:16:41.120 --> 0:16:43.160 the big no no. You can talk crap about black 0:16:43.160 --> 0:16:46.880 folks and these big companies don't care, but the Jewish community, 0:16:47.280 --> 0:16:51.800 all bets are off. They were they reminding him that 0:16:51.880 --> 0:16:54.720 he was a brother. Yeah, they were reminding him for 0:16:54.720 --> 0:17:00.000 sure that he was black, because we all know hundred 0:17:00.200 --> 0:17:02.840 Champs when he did that UM episode, he said he 0:17:02.880 --> 0:17:06.600 could say, you know, anti Jewish comments and he would 0:17:06.600 --> 0:17:09.800 be fine, and Ditas couldn't do anything. They sure did 0:17:09.840 --> 0:17:12.080 dissolve that a partnership and lose almost two d and 0:17:12.080 --> 0:17:16.679 fifty million dollars. They surely did. Sometimes you get Fantasia 0:17:16.720 --> 0:17:19.040 Marino said it bit it's best. Sometimes you got to 0:17:19.119 --> 0:17:23.919 lose to win. I still love her. Speaking of her, 0:17:24.119 --> 0:17:26.639 she opened up the Green Awards said and that was 0:17:26.680 --> 0:17:29.680 probably probably the biggest mistake they made in their life, 0:17:30.000 --> 0:17:32.199 because when I tell you, that's just to open up 0:17:32.240 --> 0:17:34.280 that show and took that ball all the way to 0:17:34.359 --> 0:17:37.879 heaven and could nothing come and touch it. Baby. Let 0:17:37.880 --> 0:17:39.280 me tell you what was so funny? Lord at the 0:17:39.280 --> 0:17:42.120 Green Awards so pat they an Patty LaBelle, so pale 0:17:42.160 --> 0:17:44.800 LaBelle came by the same. You could clearly see the monitor. 0:17:44.840 --> 0:17:46.360 And you know what, I'm gonna laugh, but I always say, 0:17:46.359 --> 0:17:48.760 make the words real, big babe. The words on the 0:17:48.800 --> 0:17:52.000 teleprompter was biggest my head. Good god. It was funny. 0:17:52.280 --> 0:17:54.639 And miss Patty stopped looking at the teleprompter and forgot 0:17:54.680 --> 0:17:59.960 the words the Superwoman and told told Fantasia Queen Latifa, Uh, 0:18:00.040 --> 0:18:03.480 what else is saying? Yolanda Adams? And that was somebody else? 0:18:03.600 --> 0:18:05.879 She said, y'all just saying so when Petty could remember 0:18:05.880 --> 0:18:08.119 the word, she stopped flying like a bird. We lost 0:18:08.160 --> 0:18:11.480 our mass. I screezed the landlord. I had a great time, 0:18:11.600 --> 0:18:14.800 good guy. That was fun. Get off topic. What was 0:18:14.880 --> 0:18:18.919 we at talking about? Mr? West? I told you on 0:18:18.960 --> 0:18:21.480 the Breakfast Club, I said, told y'all, y'all, he played 0:18:21.520 --> 0:18:28.240 in that card incessiful baby whoo who it's scary And 0:18:28.240 --> 0:18:30.720 and you know he told his wife or ex wife whatever, 0:18:30.720 --> 0:18:34.160 they don't even know if they're divorced, yit um that 0:18:34.840 --> 0:18:36.679 she would never make her career was going to end 0:18:36.680 --> 0:18:38.800 when she divorced him. With her in a fashion world 0:18:39.480 --> 0:18:42.240 and Vogue has party ways with him, and she's still 0:18:42.359 --> 0:18:45.359 in bed with them, so you know, it's interesting to see. 0:18:45.520 --> 0:18:47.960 Well for now, for now, we all we don't know 0:18:48.000 --> 0:18:50.280 what the future is gonna bring. I'm curious to see 0:18:50.280 --> 0:18:53.280 how her fashion career works out, though, considering she does 0:18:53.320 --> 0:18:56.280 have all of these relationships because of Kanye. It was 0:18:56.320 --> 0:18:58.439 gonna call a spade a spade. That is true. He 0:18:58.600 --> 0:19:02.760 really built up a fashion career. So I know she 0:19:02.840 --> 0:19:05.119 came out and said she doesn't support what he said, 0:19:05.760 --> 0:19:08.520 but I'm curious to see what happens for her considering 0:19:08.840 --> 0:19:12.160 she's tied to him. You've already seen it. You've already 0:19:12.200 --> 0:19:16.520 seen it once another black man helped build her career 0:19:16.640 --> 0:19:22.200 and boom, she's ten times more big, bigger than him. 0:19:22.240 --> 0:19:24.560 Well she is. She's who she is now because of family. 0:19:25.680 --> 0:19:30.320 That's very true. So crazy to see how her relationships, 0:19:30.560 --> 0:19:34.120 if they're maintained, or if people are distancing themselves from her. 0:19:34.760 --> 0:19:40.120 I'm curious to see how it plays out. And back 0:19:40.160 --> 0:19:43.040 to these politics, layd until Ron the Sands is your 0:19:43.119 --> 0:19:48.240 favorite governor in Florida has made some of the most 0:19:48.280 --> 0:19:51.919 bogus Outlandis statements. I thought he wanted to run for 0:19:51.960 --> 0:19:54.879 president and I'm not sure if that's what the case 0:19:55.119 --> 0:19:58.879 definitely does We've been in the audio. I feel like 0:19:58.880 --> 0:20:01.240 we should play the audio because what he said was 0:20:01.280 --> 0:20:04.320 so ludicrous. I feel like we should play the audio 0:20:05.280 --> 0:20:09.280 on this episode. Um, Aaron, let me know if you 0:20:09.280 --> 0:20:11.879 can hear this from the French that they do have 0:20:11.960 --> 0:20:15.040 programs unfortunately, well they will take a student look at 0:20:15.040 --> 0:20:17.880 their race. Okay, you're white, you're an oppressor. If you're black, 0:20:17.920 --> 0:20:19.800 you're oppressed. And think about what that does to a 0:20:19.840 --> 0:20:22.960 six or seven year old kids. That's wrong. You're seeing 0:20:22.960 --> 0:20:26.080 that you have people that are teaching and actually his 0:20:26.160 --> 0:20:28.800 running mate has said this in the past that teaching 0:20:28.840 --> 0:20:31.440 the United States was built on stolen land. That is 0:20:31.480 --> 0:20:34.560 inappropriate for our schools. It's not true. Uh, and I'm 0:20:34.600 --> 0:20:40.880 happy teaching that the United States was built on stolen 0:20:41.000 --> 0:20:49.600 land is not true. Listen. I've said publicly before that 0:20:49.680 --> 0:20:54.160 he was Patrick the Starfish from SpongeBob Square Paints, which 0:20:55.080 --> 0:20:58.040 and I don't change my statement at all. It is 0:20:58.119 --> 0:21:01.240 such a divide, it is such a great divide, and 0:21:01.280 --> 0:21:04.520 it is so tactical and ugly, and we already in 0:21:04.560 --> 0:21:08.280 a horrible crisis for race. Uh. The critical race theory 0:21:08.280 --> 0:21:10.640 that we might erupt in this country, I don't know. 0:21:10.800 --> 0:21:13.720 I'm telling it's getting scarier. Every day is getting scarier. 0:21:13.960 --> 0:21:16.040 It's just it's interesting, and I feel like it goes 0:21:16.080 --> 0:21:18.920 back to the previous episode that we talked about troll culture, 0:21:19.640 --> 0:21:25.480 because you're knowingly spreading misinformation. People are getting sued behind 0:21:25.480 --> 0:21:28.120 this at this point for spreading conspiracy theories and actually 0:21:28.600 --> 0:21:33.320 telling lies that you know are not true. So for 0:21:33.359 --> 0:21:36.680 you to say that people are in classrooms telling white 0:21:36.760 --> 0:21:40.920 kids that, oh, your oppressors, nobody's doing that. People telling 0:21:40.960 --> 0:21:44.600 black kids, Oh, you're oppressed, nobody's doing that in school? 0:21:44.800 --> 0:21:48.200 What what teachers are trying to do, like folks like 0:21:48.240 --> 0:21:50.919 Alison who's been on our show, who's an educator in 0:21:50.920 --> 0:21:54.880 the Florida area where she has this terrible governor, Alison 0:21:54.960 --> 0:21:59.600 le Yes, you're trying to teach children the truth behind 0:21:59.640 --> 0:22:04.680 this country and behind what our ancestors, their ancestors did, 0:22:05.760 --> 0:22:08.399 and how it was wrong and how it's honestly built 0:22:08.440 --> 0:22:14.000 an ongoing cycle in this country of what should not happen. 0:22:15.480 --> 0:22:19.040 You stole killed to create this country, and they couldn't 0:22:19.080 --> 0:22:21.000 even build it yourself. You have to go to freaking 0:22:21.040 --> 0:22:24.119 Africa to get us to build it because you couldn't 0:22:24.119 --> 0:22:27.800 do it yourselves. So it's just Rond de Santis is 0:22:27.840 --> 0:22:31.760 also another example of a person of color, specifically Latino, 0:22:31.840 --> 0:22:34.199 trying to assimilate and be white. There's just there's so 0:22:34.240 --> 0:22:37.640 many things that are wrong with what he's saying, and 0:22:37.680 --> 0:22:39.680 I feel like how he has an identity crisis and 0:22:39.760 --> 0:22:43.879 identifies himself. It's just I just can't believe that he 0:22:43.920 --> 0:22:45.960 actually said that in the middle of a debate. But 0:22:46.000 --> 0:22:47.480 you know, the wild thing is people are still gonna 0:22:47.520 --> 0:22:50.040 vote for him. Oh, he's in the right state. He's 0:22:50.040 --> 0:22:53.720 in the many petty states, so yeah, petty. And I'm 0:22:53.760 --> 0:22:56.280 not disrespecting Florida at all, but some of y'all just 0:22:56.480 --> 0:22:59.960 really needed who that cool. Ain't got to be real sweet, 0:23:00.000 --> 0:23:03.080 because good god, y'all keep drinking it, And even Jim 0:23:03.160 --> 0:23:06.520
