Came 0:02:23.520 --> 0:02:26.760 home and Zeddie had took a fork, put the greens 0:02:26.800 --> 0:02:28.680 in front of her face and set at the table. 0:02:29.040 --> 0:02:31.560 And I think we had greenland because you know my 0:02:31.639 --> 0:02:34.679 daughter is successful greens.

It was as 0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:43.200 empty as Donald Trump's Texas, which we will get too late. 0:02:45.760 --> 0:02:50.040 That's good. I'm glad you had a good holiday. My 0:02:50.120 --> 0:02:53.440 Christmas was good. Um, my dad and my brother came over. 0:02:53.680 --> 0:02:57.000 I cooked, We hung out and watched basketball. It was 0:02:57.040 --> 0:02:59.760 a day full of basketball. And then um they went 0:02:59.800 --> 0:03:01.560 home them. I cleaned up my house and that was 0:03:01.560 --> 0:03:04.000 pretty much it. It was low key and chill, but 0:03:04.560 --> 0:03:07.920 it was a nice little Christmas. What you get for 0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:13.360 Christmas go for the ship. Now what you give for Christmas? Um? 0:03:13.400 --> 0:03:16.880 I got some money and that was about it. Like that. 0:03:17.480 --> 0:03:20.840 She likes that. Yeah, we decided a long time ago. 0:03:20.919 --> 0:03:22.720 It's just easier to give each other money so we 0:03:22.760 --> 0:03:25.160 can go get our own gifts less of a hassle. 0:03:25.639 --> 0:03:30.280 So well we're go ahead. The Christmas has come and going. 0:03:30.480 --> 0:03:32.560 Now let's see what's gonna happen with this new year. 0:03:33.720 --> 0:03:41.240 Happy Kwanza mm hmm happy. Yes, it's officially krans and 0:03:41.280 --> 0:03:43.440 all of the discount sales are happening, so this is 0:03:43.440 --> 0:03:45.760 the perfect time to use our money and now go 0:03:45.920 --> 0:03:51.280 shop boom somebody like a professional shopper. M h. My 0:03:51.320 --> 0:03:54.480 mama taught me, well, I told you we didn't have 0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:56.800 gifts under the Christmas tree for Christmas. We went after 0:03:56.880 --> 0:04:04.960 Christmas shopping cost effective. So all right, that's good tool. 0:04:05.040 --> 0:04:06.920 Before we get to start on the heavy topics, let 0:04:06.920 --> 0:04:11.760 me start with as they as their parents and as 0:04:11.760 --> 0:04:15.720 the dad. When I watched tory Land's dad japping out 0:04:16.080 --> 0:04:18.840 after the court proceedings after the final Birdie came down 0:04:19.120 --> 0:04:22.280 and going to after jay z n Rock Nation, I 0:04:22.360 --> 0:04:25.440 was like, oh, he's angry. The daddy short to him 0:04:25.440 --> 0:04:27.000 like damn, I wouldn't do a run in the family. 0:04:27.040 --> 0:04:31.960 It's short angry. Um. They have some eclectic names, you know. 0:04:32.400 --> 0:04:36.039 Uh so Tori's Layne's real name is Day Star and 0:04:36.200 --> 0:04:41.640 his father's name is sun Star. It's very eclectic. Mm hmm, yeah, 0:04:42.279 --> 0:04:45.719 very unique. Maybe they had a daughter she becalled Shining Star. 0:04:50.240 --> 0:04:52.360 So no, I saw the video though of him being 0:04:52.440 --> 0:04:55.719 upset and um calling out those different people. He gets 0:04:55.720 --> 0:05:00.440 officially sentenced on January and he's facing up to years, 0:05:00.600 --> 0:05:05.200 so we shall see how that develops. But yes, he's 0:05:05.240 --> 0:05:08.440 currently in um l A County jail, so we'll see 0:05:08.480 --> 0:05:11.719 what he gets, what his sentences. Oh and man Central, 0:05:11.880 --> 0:05:20.320 good god, yuck. I'm saying yuck from experience. Okay, where 0:05:20.320 --> 0:05:24.320 are we going? Um, Well, it's Monday, so we all 0:05:24.360 --> 0:05:26.800 know who's back in the news again, and that's um, 0:05:27.040 --> 0:05:31.200 former President Donald Trump. And it worries that Sunny Houston, 0:05:31.279 --> 0:05:35.480 former president, former one term president twice in peace, twice 0:05:35.480 --> 0:05:40.520 in peace, disgraced President Donald and he just continues to 0:05:40.600 --> 0:05:44.480 make history for being a criminal um during his presidency. 0:05:44.560 --> 0:05:47.960 So but I know that today we want to talk 0:05:48.000 --> 0:05:51.680 about officially the news is his taxes because he officially 0:05:51.680 --> 0:05:54.560 had to turn them all over um the January six 0:05:54.600 --> 0:05:57.360 committee review them. So I'm just gonna do a quick 0:05:57.400 --> 0:06:01.680 highlight of what the report entails regarding taxes and actually 0:06:01.760 --> 0:06:04.240 Milannia is a part of this because it's their joint 0:06:04.240 --> 0:06:09.839 taxes that they yeah, exactly. So just a quick highlight 0:06:10.360 --> 0:06:14.400 is that. So on the on the federal tax return, 0:06:14.760 --> 0:06:18.680 Trump and his wife declared negative income at thirty one 0:06:18.680 --> 0:06:22.000 point seven million dollars with taxable income of zero dollars. 0:06:22.680 --> 0:06:25.560 The couple paid federal income taxes of six hundred and 0:06:25.640 --> 0:06:30.200 forty one tho dollars. A little over that returned declared 0:06:30.560 --> 0:06:33.279 negative income of thirty one point two million with zero 0:06:34.080 --> 0:06:37.159 dollars a taxible income. And then that's when Trump paid 0:06:37.200 --> 0:06:39.159 seven hundred and fifty dollars in taxes. That was in 0:06:40.720 --> 0:06:45.559 UM come seventeen. Once again declared negative income of twelve 0:06:45.600 --> 0:06:49.159 point eight million with zero dollars in taxable income. The 0:06:49.200 --> 0:06:51.560 couple paid once again seven hundred and fifty dollars in 0:06:51.600 --> 0:06:58.679 taxes twenty four million dollars total income UM. The Trump's 0:06:58.720 --> 0:07:03.960 paid about a million dollars in federal tax income um 0:07:04.080 --> 0:07:08.320 exeason federal income taxes. Then in twenty nineteen it was 0:07:08.360 --> 0:07:11.200 four point four four million dollars. They paid about a 0:07:11.240 --> 0:07:14.560 hundred and thirty three thousand dollars and then lastly return 0:07:14.960 --> 0:07:17.760 shows negative income at four point six nine million dollars 0:07:18.320 --> 0:07:20.880 and um, the tax paid by the Trumps was zero 0:07:20.920 --> 0:07:23.880 dollars and they claimed to refund. This is the highlight 0:07:23.960 --> 0:07:26.880 of five point four seven million dollars. So they got 0:07:26.920 --> 0:07:28.960 over five million dollars back from the I R S 0:07:28.960 --> 0:07:35.440 and paid no taxes. That's a quick highlight of that. 0:07:36.320 --> 0:07:39.960 Mm hmm. I wonder when they got all that money back. 0:07:40.160 --> 0:07:42.840 Is that when she purchased that jacket. You remember she 0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:46.480 had the jacket No one cares or something like that. 0:07:46.880 --> 0:07:50.120 I wondered the very Marie Antoinet when Marie internet they 0:07:50.200 --> 0:07:52.200 was getting all the money and the people were starving, 0:07:52.200 --> 0:07:54.960 and she said, that'll beat cake. She did let him 0:07:54.960 --> 0:08:00.520 watch this jacket. Yeah, so he's been officially exposed regarding 0:08:00.560 --> 0:08:03.440 his taxes. What does this mean. We'll see because there 0:08:03.480 --> 0:08:08.120 have been other, you know, criminal activity that's been happening 0:08:08.120 --> 0:08:10.800 with Trump and nothing has happened as of yet. So 0:08:11.000 --> 0:08:12.760 maybe this is going to be a part of whatever 0:08:12.800 --> 0:08:16.640 Merritt Garland does regarded the d O J. But to 0:08:16.720 --> 0:08:19.320 get five million dollars back from the I R S 0:08:19.360 --> 0:08:24.480 and pay no federal income taxes, um, that's different. M hmm. 0:08:25.240 --> 0:08:27.120 I wanted people in charge of the I R S, 0:08:27.280 --> 0:08:31.440 who's over his tax to be investigated opening to him, 0:08:31.480 --> 0:08:35.680 because why well, this is no different from you know, 0:08:35.760 --> 0:08:40.160 Alan Weisselberg being found guilty and Trump's actual corporation, but 0:08:40.600 --> 0:08:42.600 him saying he knew nothing about it. So let's see 0:08:42.600 --> 0:08:45.720 if he has the same strategy with this that you know, 0:08:45.800 --> 0:08:47.720 he didn't know anything about the taxes. He had people 0:08:47.760 --> 0:08:49.440 to file for him, and then they're the ones that 0:08:49.480 --> 0:08:54.480 are responsible if from dragged their name meant, if the 0:08:54.520 --> 0:08:56.280 I R S and the government has to drag their 0:08:56.360 --> 0:08:58.960 name in it, I feel another gunning experience on the 0:08:58.960 --> 0:09:02.840 white side. Well, I mean, if we're gonna be honest, 0:09:02.960 --> 0:09:07.120 this is very much his whole family and what they've done, 0:09:07.160 --> 0:09:09.960 it's very much so rico case. If we're gonna be 0:09:09.960 --> 0:09:14.280 over honest, he's running a criminal empire. I'm feeling a 0:09:14.360 --> 0:09:17.520 gun and experience. Somebody going to tell you, well, I 0:09:17.520 --> 0:09:19.280 mean it's happened in his right hand man, Alan I 0:09:19.360 --> 0:09:23.360 school were already flipped. Man was found guilty. So he's 0:09:23.400 --> 0:09:28.480 just using you know, what's it called plausible deniability? This one, well, 0:09:28.760 --> 0:09:31.920 his thing, weren't we have talked about this. Excuse my 0:09:31.960 --> 0:09:35.720 smack and y'all We have spoken about this on numerous occasions, 0:09:35.760 --> 0:09:38.200 about this man not being able to hold public office. 0:09:38.520 --> 0:09:41.400 If he goes to jail, great if he doesn't, or whatever. 0:09:42.000 --> 0:09:43.600 But to me, in fact, that he could never hold 0:09:43.600 --> 0:09:46.400 a public office, to hold so much influence over the public, 0:09:46.480 --> 0:09:48.079 to make them go the way he wanted them to 0:09:48.120 --> 0:09:50.840 go for a very short period of time, which was 0:09:50.880 --> 0:09:52.920 what three or four years, which did a lot of damage. 0:09:53.440 --> 0:09:58.480 Trump held all the cards. Trump held all the cards. Well, yeah, 0:09:58.520 --> 0:10:00.120 I mean we know that. I think it's more so 0:10:00.320 --> 0:10:03.000 he had I mean, if you think about it, Trump 0:10:03.080 --> 0:10:05.240 used to be friends with the Clintons. You know, Trump 0:10:05.320 --> 0:10:08.600 was like that guy that people wanted to have on 0:10:08.640 --> 0:10:10.760 TV shows. He was on the First Prince of bel Air, 0:10:10.840 --> 0:10:14.280 Like Trump used to be that guy. So because of 0:10:14.400 --> 0:10:16.120 his influence and all the people he was around, I 0:10:16.120 --> 0:10:18.199 wouldn't be surprised if he had dirt on all these 0:10:18.240 --> 0:10:22.480 politicians and celebrities. And I wouldn't be surprised because look 0:10:22.480 --> 0:10:25.760 at who he was around. He conveniently changed parties when 0:10:25.760 --> 0:10:28.240 he wanted to run for president because that was when 0:10:28.280 --> 0:10:32.120 it worked best for him. But he was an infamous Democrat. 0:10:32.160 --> 0:10:36.240 If we're gonna be honest, so very scary, very scary 0:10:36.240 --> 0:10:40.079 pay taxes. That is one people we don't mess with 0:10:40.160 --> 0:10:43.920 is the I R S because they will come knocking 0:10:43.960 --> 0:10:49.559 on your though, like Bobby Ball, Matt exactly. Oh okay, 0:10:49.600 --> 0:10:51.560 well we got the tax form without the way. Listen 0:10:51.640 --> 0:10:54.240 to the objectively. For Donald Trump to be found guilty 0:10:54.240 --> 0:10:56.880 to what, he cannot run a whole public office because 0:10:56.920 --> 0:10:58.480 then we want to put that country. This is a 0:10:58.600 --> 0:11:04.360 man who may Benedict Honor looked like a saint talking 0:11:04.360 --> 0:11:08.719 about trading and treason. It's good God, and to kill 0:11:08.760 --> 0:11:12.720 our home. Listen, those people died on January six on people. 0:11:12.880 --> 0:11:16.120 Innocent people died because they believed in this narrative that 0:11:16.200 --> 0:11:18.000 he pushed, told him he would be out there with 0:11:18.080 --> 0:11:20.720 them when he wasn't, told him he's gonna storm the 0:11:20.760 --> 0:11:23.640 capital with them when she didn't, and to kill his 0:11:23.679 --> 0:11:26.040 own vice president. I don't even know why we're having 0:11:26.080 --> 0:11:28.320 a discussion about this, to be honest, storm, I hope. 0:11:29.600 --> 0:11:33.000 But innocent people died. Do you mean people that showed 0:11:33.080 --> 0:11:36.160 up to right, No, I mean some of the workers 0:11:36.160 --> 0:11:39.000 that were there. Okay, yeah, I just you know, you know, 0:11:39.480 --> 0:11:42.480 someone didn't die on the scene, but they were so traumatized, 0:11:42.520 --> 0:11:46.319 because this is what trauma traumatizing looks like. Not will 0:11:46.360 --> 0:11:49.240 smap slapping Chris. This is what traumatized me looks like. 0:11:49.280 --> 0:11:53.000 The people losing their lives. Um, some of them committed 0:11:53.200 --> 0:11:57.559 so many of them committed suicide after the fact. Yeah, 0:11:57.720 --> 0:11:59.960 the police officers and the folks that were there that. Yeah, 0:12:00.280 --> 0:12:04.160 so this is what I'm saying. They they they sometimes 0:12:04.160 --> 0:12:06.480 the government lets to drag on and lag on for 0:12:06.520 --> 0:12:09.600 so long that you forget the severity of what it 0:12:09.800 --> 0:12:12.600 was because he didn't they do anything when they first happened. 0:12:12.640 --> 0:12:14.360 So you know, it gets old to us and we'd 0:12:14.360 --> 0:12:16.920 be like, oh, yeah, I remember that, and we all 0:12:17.000 --> 0:12:19.160 say that we're all guilty of that because it does 0:12:19.200 --> 0:12:21.280 not happen in the moment, just like it happens in 0:12:21.360 --> 0:12:24.080 the moment. We need to stop making it happen at last, Sona, 0:12:24.360 --> 0:12:27.920 and then baby, things will change. Because fear worked for 0:12:28.040 --> 0:12:31.120 us to become slaves, Fear worked for the Jews to 0:12:31.200 --> 0:12:36.000 become enslaved. Fear has worked forever. Fear still works. But 0:12:36.559 --> 0:12:38.080 some of these white men don't feel like they have 0:12:38.160 --> 0:12:40.480 nothing to fear. They don't like to go to jail, 0:12:40.559 --> 0:12:42.360 and they don't like for you to take away their trinkets, 0:12:42.600 --> 0:12:44.560 y'all take it too long to do it, sid they 0:12:44.559 --> 0:12:46.520 as the jail within thirty days and take away their 0:12:46.520 --> 0:12:53.000 house boats cause cash goodies. They're coming down. Well speaking 0:12:53.080 --> 0:12:56.520 a fear too. Um. There was yet again another shooting 0:12:56.920 --> 0:13:01.120 um in all of America. Um actually right before Christmas. 0:13:01.160 --> 0:13:05.600 It was on Christmas Eve, and somebody was actually in 0:13:05.600 --> 0:13:08.160 the store with shopping and they actually just happened to 0:13:08.200 --> 0:13:12.400 like be making a real about their shopping experience. And um, 0:13:12.440 --> 0:13:14.720 they actually the video was recording in real time what 0:13:14.760 --> 0:13:17.280 happened when the shots rang out in the mall. So 0:13:17.640 --> 0:13:19.560 it's interesting what you're talking about trauma and these sort 0:13:19.559 --> 0:13:22.880 of things. And we're still yet again dealing with, you know, 0:13:23.160 --> 0:13:25.360 shootings happening in public places. And this is part of 0:13:25.360 --> 0:13:28.079 the reason why what I've said on this show before, 0:13:28.679 --> 0:13:31.120 I don't like going to malls anymore. I don't like 0:13:31.160 --> 0:13:36.240 doing that because they're just it's not safe. Yeah, speaking 0:13:36.280 --> 0:13:39.599 of shopping, Lord, and this is completely off topic, but 0:13:39.960 --> 0:13:41.640 I should have put it on that this morning. It's 0:13:41.640 --> 0:13:45.680 gonna be a real brief. There's a huge upris and 0:13:46.320 --> 0:13:50.640 smashing gramps and they're doing it in groups of organizations. 0:13:50.640 --> 0:13:52.600 So you probably right now they go to malls long 0:13:52.600 --> 0:13:54.600 because you just be out with your girlfriends and y'all 0:13:54.679 --> 0:13:57.959 shopping and and and ki ki and all of a 0:13:58.000 --> 0:14:01.040 sudden full fact gas running something. It's not only guys. 0:14:01.080 --> 0:14:03.280 It's scary, and they've running the stores and they break 0:14:03.320 --> 0:14:05.319 the winds as they snatched up out And if you're 0:14:05.360 --> 0:14:07.440 in the way, girl, you could be hurt, you could 0:14:07.440 --> 0:14:10.280 be ran over, you could be possibly be put as 0:14:10.280 --> 0:14:14.559 one of the suspects. Have you seen that, Yeah, I've 0:14:14.600 --> 0:14:16.920 definitely seen it. I've seen a couple of things regarding 0:14:16.960 --> 0:14:20.680 that the smashing grabs are happening and also too, um, 0:14:20.800 --> 0:14:24.640 how women are being um like trafficed these days too. Um. 0:14:24.640 --> 0:14:26.560 Have you seen with like a little piece of like 0:14:26.680 --> 0:14:30.200 it looks almost like tissue paper putting car doors that 0:14:30.320 --> 0:14:35.160 it's like laced with Apparently you have some kind of 0:14:35.200 --> 0:14:39.960 substance on it, right yep, And it can basically incapacitate 0:14:40.040 --> 0:14:43.280 you enough so that way you know, these kidnapper as 0:14:43.280 --> 0:14:46.680 an opportunity to grab you. So it's just crazy times 0:14:46.680 --> 0:14:48.960 that we're living in at this point, and I just 0:14:48.640 --> 0:14:51.680 it's scary. Oh if somebody take one of my daughters. 0:14:51.720 --> 0:14:53.360 I don't know what I'm gonna do because I ain't 0:14:53.360 --> 0:14:55.920 got to Liam Neeson. Lia Neeson had all the skills. 0:14:56.280 --> 0:14:58.560 Remember the movie Taken. He went over there and he fought, 0:14:58.880 --> 0:15:01.400 I'd be like, h I gotta I got about three 0:15:01.440 --> 0:15:04.720 hundred dollars I send them back. Well, I've always said 0:15:04.720 --> 0:15:07.800 I would be the worst, uh kidnap be ever. I'd 0:15:07.840 --> 0:15:10.120 be screaming and everything else. I would be terrible. I'm 0:15:10.160 --> 0:15:13.440 a wrong person to kidnapped. So, oh, no, are you 0:15:13.520 --> 0:15:17.880 gonna get kidnapped? If they don't they have unless they 0:15:17.920 --> 0:15:21.320 had Chanelle blankets and Gucci pillow cases and stuff, because 0:15:21.360 --> 0:15:24.280 you know you you would never high. So that's why 0:15:24.280 --> 0:15:27.280 I wouldn't get kidnapped. I really I stay at my house. 0:15:28.120 --> 0:15:32.640 I did not go outside. So but it's just scary 0:15:32.720 --> 0:15:34.360 times that we're living in, and people really just have 0:15:34.480 --> 0:15:37.320 to be safe because the scariest part about not just 0:15:37.440 --> 0:15:40.800 not being hurt is that as an American citizen and 0:15:40.920 --> 0:15:44.000 a consumer, the prices are going up for us everywhere 0:15:44.040 --> 0:15:47.440 because all of this ration of stealing, you know, it 0:15:47.560 --> 0:15:50.000 makes the prices go up everywhere, and prices are very 0:15:50.120 --> 0:15:53.400 high on everything. Well, really it's inflation to I think 0:15:53.400 --> 0:15:57.200 inflation is a probably nine percent now so and this 0:15:57.360 --> 0:15:59.320 is how things like you know, we talked about, you know, 0:15:59.400 --> 0:16:01.920 recessions and those sort of things, you know, which Joe 0:16:01.960 --> 0:16:04.040 Biden is you know, the shortest that is not gonna happen. 0:16:04.160 --> 0:16:07.720 But um, it's just we just avoided a government shutdown. 0:16:07.760 --> 0:16:10.240 So like all of these little indicators of what's really 0:16:10.280 --> 0:16:15.280 happening in the world right now. Um two, I think 0:16:15.800 --> 0:16:17.720 so before we get off, before we get off the 0:16:17.760 --> 0:16:20.880 subject of Joe Biden and get on over to President 0:16:21.440 --> 0:16:23.720 Vice pressident coming him, I just want to take a 0:16:23.760 --> 0:16:26.360 segment sake. I think that Joe Biden has done a 0:16:26.400 --> 0:16:29.520 pretty good job in his term. It looked bleak and 0:16:29.600 --> 0:16:31.680 look up and down and look wishy washy. She didn't 0:16:31.680 --> 0:16:34.120 think he was doing enough for us as a black people. 0:16:34.200 --> 0:16:37.280 But overall, I think Joe Biden is doing all that 0:16:37.400 --> 0:16:39.760 he can and more, in fact, more than what they 0:16:39.840 --> 0:16:43.520 want him to do. And so maybe this might be 0:16:43.680 --> 0:16:45.480 his only term. So he saved I'm gonna do it. 0:16:45.520 --> 0:16:48.280 I'm gonna do it all the way. I appreciate him 0:16:48.280 --> 0:16:53.520 for that. Yeah, I mean I'm not totally I would say, uh, 0:16:54.480 --> 0:16:58.200 satisfied with everything. But I think that overall he's doing 0:16:58.240 --> 0:17:01.000 what he can. Like even with no student loan debt, 0:17:01.320 --> 0:17:04.919 He's tried and tried to get that you know, bill passed, 0:17:05.160 --> 0:17:08.040 and it just keeps getting rejected and rejected. There's things 0:17:08.119 --> 0:17:10.920 that he's tried to implement that he's definitely been you know, 0:17:11.359 --> 0:17:14.359 obstacles have been put in his path, but overall he 0:17:14.480 --> 0:17:16.680 has done when he's when he was able to do, 0:17:17.440 --> 0:17:20.320 I would think in terms of some of his promises. 0:17:20.560 --> 0:17:23.680 So my main concern is just the fact that if 0:17:24.680 --> 0:17:29.000 Trump isn't running as his a Republican opponent, I'm concerned 0:17:29.000 --> 0:17:31.159 if he's gonna get reelected. That's my main issue. So 0:17:34.920 --> 0:17:39.879 let's go here. The weather and the Midwest and the 0:17:39.960 --> 0:17:43.879 East coast and the South has been unbearable. I mean 0:17:43.920 --> 0:17:46.440 the weather everywhere except for California. I'm trying to be 0:17:46.600 --> 0:17:52.520 nice for you. He's a shady play man. I didn't 0:17:52.520 --> 0:17:54.560 say that, y'all. Lawrence said that I was trying to 0:17:54.600 --> 0:17:59.080 be nice. But she's right everywhere from southern California because baby, 0:17:59.119 --> 0:18:01.680 y'all have been taught a lot of people out there 0:18:01.680 --> 0:18:04.480 that things that thirty seven people has obvious their lines. 0:18:04.600 --> 0:18:10.600 But Air was telling it's York. Was in New York area, yeah, um, 0:18:10.680 --> 0:18:13.159 New York. And then also to um, I saw some 0:18:13.400 --> 0:18:18.000 really uh crazy video just about how many pipes burst 0:18:18.080 --> 0:18:22.000 throughout Atlanta, including the airport. Um. So it was just 0:18:22.080 --> 0:18:25.600 really sad, like lntic small pipes bursts in different you know, 0:18:25.880 --> 0:18:29.040 like apartment buildings that you know, I'm very familiar with, 0:18:29.840 --> 0:18:31.720 being that I lived in Atlanta for four years. And 0:18:31.840 --> 0:18:35.359 then also to see part of you know, Hartsfield just underwater, 0:18:36.680 --> 0:18:38.520 it was just a real scary sight to see. So 0:18:39.760 --> 0:18:42.240 I'm just sending prayers. And it happened all on Christmas 0:18:42.280 --> 0:18:44.800 Eve too, right before Christmas happened. So and as a 0:18:44.840 --> 0:18:47.600 person who just experienced water damage too in their own 0:18:47.920 --> 0:18:51.280 you know unit, um, I just send prayers out to 0:18:51.359 --> 0:18:54.680 everybody because that's just it's a hassle, it's scary, and 0:18:54.760 --> 0:18:57.760 it's truly just an annoyance. So the fact that so 0:18:57.800 --> 0:19:01.440 many people's pipes bursts during Christmas Eve is just really sad. 0:19:01.600 --> 0:19:04.359 So but the disclaiming they did give out was for 0:19:04.480 --> 0:19:07.200 you guys to let the water trickle. But like states 0:19:07.280 --> 0:19:09.840 like Atlanta and places that's not set up in that 0:19:10.280 --> 0:19:15.960 bitter code they used pipes that we use in Illinois 0:19:16.240 --> 0:19:20.040 or in Minnesota. Uh, they probably used a different uh 0:19:20.840 --> 0:19:23.240 material that was not as strong, but they did tell you. 0:19:23.440 --> 0:19:25.520 And even Aaron asked us about leaving the water drip 0:19:25.600 --> 0:19:28.040 and that produced it, and we told him because those 0:19:28.080 --> 0:19:30.800 pipes birth. So I've seen it happen in Chicago because 0:19:30.800 --> 0:19:33.639 you I'm from Chicago, but they haven't had a bit 0:19:33.680 --> 0:19:37.760 of code like this in Chicago and maybe fifteen years. 0:19:39.520 --> 0:19:41.560 Well to just Atlanta is the city is not really 0:19:41.600 --> 0:19:43.439 I feel like equipped for co weather. I remember when 0:19:43.440 --> 0:19:45.920 I was when I lived there. That's when like snow 0:19:46.000 --> 0:19:48.280 Mgeddon happened where it's snowed in Atlanta and it hadn't 0:19:48.320 --> 0:19:51.240 snowed in like twenty years, and the whole city shut 0:19:51.280 --> 0:19:53.680 down because they just didn't know what to do. So 0:19:53.760 --> 0:19:56.600 I feel like this was another version of this in 0:19:56.760 --> 0:19:59.040 terms of the pipes first, and they really just didn't 0:19:59.080 --> 0:20:01.680 know what to do because they've never experienced this in 0:20:02.240 --> 0:20:05.560 so long. So people were leaving their cars on the 0:20:05.640 --> 0:20:08.919 freeway when I lived there, when you know, we had 0:20:08.960 --> 0:20:12.040 had the first snow and however many years later, So 0:20:12.359 --> 0:20:14.840 it was just it was crazy. It was like a week, 0:20:15.800 --> 0:20:18.520 you know, it snowed for three days, but it messed 0:20:18.600 --> 0:20:21.440 up the city for seven. So I just feel like 0:20:21.520 --> 0:20:23.560 with the pipes verst thing was just another situation like 0:20:23.680 --> 0:20:26.080 that and they just really just weren't equipped to handle it. 0:20:26.400 --> 0:20:31.200 So oh and people and most people who live in 0:20:31.280 --> 0:20:34.360 Atlanta migrated there. A lot of them don't even wasn't 0:20:34.400 --> 0:20:36.200 even boring and raging there. A lot of people migrated 0:20:36.240 --> 0:20:38.320 to Atlanta, so they came from states where you know 0:20:38.400 --> 0:20:41.040 how to drive in the snow, then they were pretty prepared. 0:20:41.359 --> 0:20:43.040 But a lot of those people who don't and girl, 0:20:43.080 --> 0:20:45.000 you know, people who cannot drive in a certain kind 0:20:45.000 --> 0:20:48.080 of weapon and do more damage than good. See your 0:20:48.119 --> 0:20:52.240 ass at home, please, Well, I drew, I drove in 0:20:52.320 --> 0:20:54.240 the snow actually in Atlanta, and I think it's a 0:20:54.359 --> 0:20:57.359 mixture to um because yeah, a lot of people did 0:20:57.440 --> 0:20:59.360 migrate to Atlanta, but you'll be surprised who was really 0:20:59.400 --> 0:21:02.200 who still lives there and was from Atlanta. But I 0:21:02.320 --> 0:21:04.840 did that too. I drove in the snow when it 0:21:04.960 --> 0:21:08.720 was the Snowmageddon happened, and it was a very interesting experience. 0:21:08.760 --> 0:21:10.840 I'm gonna say, I don't I'm like driving the snow. 0:21:11.680 --> 0:21:14.760 So I didn't know you were supposed to follow, like 0:21:14.920 --> 0:21:18.280 the not the tire tracks or you call them like 0:21:18.320 --> 0:21:20.280 they're kind of pre outline on the road you're supposed 0:21:20.280 --> 0:21:23.000 to drive. I didn't know all of that. So luckily 0:21:23.359 --> 0:21:25.399 one of my really good friends was from Chicago actually 0:21:25.400 --> 0:21:28.800 and explained to me how you I mean, you're born 0:21:28.800 --> 0:21:30.800 and raised here, but you lived in You didn't live 0:21:30.800 --> 0:21:32.240 in New York, but you spent a lot of time 0:21:32.280 --> 0:21:34.879 in New York. You never drove in New York. No, 0:21:35.240 --> 0:21:37.080 you don't drive while you're in New York. You take 0:21:37.160 --> 0:21:40.679 the subway. Shoot, my mom was born and raised in Brooklyn. 0:21:40.760 --> 0:21:42.680 She's a train rat. So when I go to New York, 0:21:42.880 --> 0:21:45.280 I get on drain. No, I don't feel like that. 0:21:45.359 --> 0:21:47.199 I mean, like, like, so say, if you weren't going 0:21:47.200 --> 0:21:49.120 into the city, you just going maybe to the suburbs, 0:21:49.160 --> 0:21:51.480 and you you all were driving near You never drove 0:21:51.520 --> 0:21:54.360 in the snow there. I never went to the suburbs 0:21:54.400 --> 0:21:57.840 of New York. Yeah, you know, we was in Brooklyn. 0:21:57.880 --> 0:22:00.240 We take the train. So anywhere as you need to 0:22:00.280 --> 0:22:03.480 go in the city, you take the train. So the 0:22:03.560 --> 0:22:05.280 only time I take an uber when I get to 0:22:05.320 --> 0:22:07.760 New York is to go from JFK to wherever I'm 0:22:07.800 --> 0:22:09.840 staying hotel wise and then I'm on the train the 0:22:09.880 --> 0:22:13.200 rest of the time i'm there. So yeah, No, my 0:22:13.320 --> 0:22:14.960 mom was a train rite and she raised me to 0:22:15.000 --> 0:22:18.119 be the same. So I don't get in cars and 0:22:18.240 --> 0:22:20.640 driving New York. Nope. I don't like driving New York 0:22:20.640 --> 0:22:22.639 and especially man hand because people walk over you. Old 0:22:22.680 --> 0:22:24.840 people being hurried. That's young people being a hurried, the 0:22:24.920 --> 0:22:26.560 sick people being a hurry. They're just walk in front 0:22:26.600 --> 0:22:28.800 of your car and damned me to hit them. Please 0:22:28.840 --> 0:22:34.000 don't dare me. Oh, I always feel oh my god, 0:22:34.960 --> 0:22:36.680 it's a little scary driving in New York. I have 0:22:36.760 --> 0:22:39.159 to say that I haven't done it before. But no, 0:22:39.640 --> 0:22:42.600 mostly I get my butt on the trains to everybody 0:22:42.840 --> 0:22:46.159 was affected in these states that was possibly homeless. I 0:22:46.240 --> 0:22:48.119 hope that the show just had enough a lot of 0:22:48.200 --> 0:22:51.080 heat and had enough beds and blankets because a lot 0:22:51.160 --> 0:22:54.879 of states lost power, a lot of places lost power. 0:22:57.280 --> 0:23:01.320 I think Texas was one of the states that was 0:23:01.359 --> 0:23:05.120
