0:02:39.880 --> 0:02:45.480
<v Speaker 1>ladies and gentle to laughing line with Flame Monroe Loreen Laurie,

0:02:45.520 --> 0:02:49.480
<v Speaker 1>as we affectionately call her over here, How doing good afternoon, Smith?

0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:52.519

<v Speaker 1>and here and they've been what whether they get this morning?

0:03:01.080 --> 0:03:05.280
<v Speaker 1>Oh lightsol, Interesting that you would raise that today. You know,

0:03:07.160 --> 0:03:09.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm raising it. I'm raising it today, but I use

0:03:10.000 --> 0:03:14.239
<v Speaker 1>it every day on everybody. I wonder if the police

0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:18.800
<v Speaker 1>are listening right now. I know why you brought up.

0:03:18.800 --> 0:03:20.840
<v Speaker 1>But police, if you listen, because I sprayed somebody with

0:03:20.919 --> 0:03:23.560
<v Speaker 1>lights out, arrest me playing I've been to jailing phone.

0:03:23.600 --> 0:03:25.360
<v Speaker 1>They let me out on a titty count, I mean

0:03:25.400 --> 0:03:30.160
<v Speaker 1>a technicality. I get back out, nig I'm gonna get

0:03:30.240 --> 0:03:35.640
<v Speaker 1>I got buying money. Oh yes you do. How are you? Nick?

0:03:35.720 --> 0:03:37.080
<v Speaker 1>I know? And I know what you're gonna go to.

0:03:37.080 --> 0:03:39.040
<v Speaker 1>You're gonna go to Florida where they arrested that teaching

0:03:39.080 --> 0:03:40.920
<v Speaker 1>from spraying that three year a boy with lights all.

0:03:41.040 --> 0:03:43.800
<v Speaker 1>But before you, before we talk about that, please explain

0:03:43.880 --> 0:03:46.240
<v Speaker 1>to us how you felt about lights out now, because

0:03:46.600 --> 0:03:48.920
<v Speaker 1>you were explaining something to Lord and yesterday on the

0:03:48.920 --> 0:03:52.200
<v Speaker 1>phone about what lights all has done to contact surfaces

0:03:52.240 --> 0:03:54.440
<v Speaker 1>and your body. Your skin is a surface, your cling

0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:57.640
<v Speaker 1>is so you explain it better than I can. Well, no,

0:03:57.920 --> 0:03:59.600
<v Speaker 1>you you just you laid it out right there. And

0:03:59.640 --> 0:04:01.840
<v Speaker 1>that's a clue what it is that the idea behind

0:04:01.960 --> 0:04:05.720
<v Speaker 1>lysol is to disinfect. And it's that's what has promises

0:04:05.760 --> 0:04:09.720
<v Speaker 1>to disinfect upon surfaces and things and kill germs that

0:04:09.800 --> 0:04:12.800
<v Speaker 1>it lands on. Uh. The idea behind the aerosol is

0:04:12.800 --> 0:04:16.760
<v Speaker 1>to also create this misted and to kill bacteria. Well,

0:04:16.960 --> 0:04:20.680
<v Speaker 1>covid is among those different viruses in bacteria that lysol

0:04:21.440 --> 0:04:24.560
<v Speaker 1>is believed to kill. We were talking about yesterday how

0:04:24.880 --> 0:04:26.640
<v Speaker 1>I've just been doing a little more reading and a

0:04:26.640 --> 0:04:28.920
<v Speaker 1>little more research, and I had a situation this week

0:04:28.960 --> 0:04:31.400
<v Speaker 1>where you have one of those aha moments and you're like,

0:04:31.440 --> 0:04:34.000
<v Speaker 1>wait a minute, I need a few more answers to

0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:36.760
<v Speaker 1>a couple of questions that you have now created in

0:04:36.800 --> 0:04:40.520
<v Speaker 1>my mind, not you, but the world in general. Specifically,

0:04:40.960 --> 0:04:45.440
<v Speaker 1>we're talking about how covid was introduced to us last year.

0:04:45.680 --> 0:04:48.000
<v Speaker 1>In fact, we just hit the anniversary a year ago today.

0:04:48.000 --> 0:04:50.360
<v Speaker 1>We had our first case, not our first death, but

0:04:50.440 --> 0:04:52.839
<v Speaker 1>our first case. Hey, we know covid is here in

0:04:52.880 --> 0:04:55.880
<v Speaker 1>the United States. We went into a lockdown in March.

0:04:56.560 --> 0:05:00.680
<v Speaker 1>They immediately enacted Operation Warp Speed not after too long

0:05:00.720 --> 0:05:04.240
<v Speaker 1>after that, where they created and got different companies and

0:05:04.279 --> 0:05:08.039
<v Speaker 1>pharmaceutical companies to get engaged in creating a vaccine. Totally

0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:12.559
<v Speaker 1>understand that, proud loved the science. But now last month

0:05:12.839 --> 0:05:15.600
<v Speaker 1>we were told that there's this superstring that has now

0:05:15.680 --> 0:05:19.479
<v Speaker 1>been introduced into the public at large. Oh but don't

0:05:19.520 --> 0:05:22.120
<v Speaker 1>worry about it, Lauren Flame, because the vaccine that we

0:05:22.200 --> 0:05:25.360
<v Speaker 1>created for COVID with the original strain. Oh, this works

0:05:25.400 --> 0:05:31.000
<v Speaker 1>on that one too, And I said to you, might so,

0:05:31.279 --> 0:05:35.200
<v Speaker 1>And so I said to you, so, then a virus,

0:05:35.480 --> 0:05:38.080
<v Speaker 1>a vaccine that you created for the original virus just

0:05:38.480 --> 0:05:41.800
<v Speaker 1>magically may work for this one too, but we don't know,

0:05:42.080 --> 0:05:44.640
<v Speaker 1>but go ahead anyway. And I was just saying that

0:05:44.880 --> 0:05:46.760
<v Speaker 1>those are the kind of things I feel like give

0:05:46.960 --> 0:05:49.040
<v Speaker 1>people pause and make you say wait a minute. I

0:05:49.120 --> 0:05:51.000
<v Speaker 1>was riding with you all when you when you were

0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:54.400
<v Speaker 1>very clear about what your original directive was. Now it

0:05:54.440 --> 0:05:56.520
<v Speaker 1>seems like, oh, well they work for that, it's gonna

0:05:56.520 --> 0:05:58.159
<v Speaker 1>work for this strain too. But I mean, I thought

0:05:58.160 --> 0:06:01.200
<v Speaker 1>you said this new strain was more infectious, and it's

0:06:01.240 --> 0:06:04.640
<v Speaker 1>super contagious and it's even crazier than the last strain.

0:06:05.000 --> 0:06:07.400
<v Speaker 1>I just feel as though there's more information needed and

0:06:07.520 --> 0:06:10.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't believe that we're getting everything we need to know.

0:06:10.520 --> 0:06:12.520
<v Speaker 1>And that just gave me pause, and I had to

0:06:12.520 --> 0:06:14.400
<v Speaker 1>share that with you. Well, you now answer the question,

0:06:14.400 --> 0:06:16.120
<v Speaker 1>but come on long, because you now answer the question

0:06:16.160 --> 0:06:18.960
<v Speaker 1>that I asked you, I'm just saying, what about the

0:06:19.040 --> 0:06:23.280
<v Speaker 1>lights all? Yeah, I think it works. I think the

0:06:23.360 --> 0:06:25.960
<v Speaker 1>lights all works clearly because you've been doing the Lightsol.

0:06:26.480 --> 0:06:29.080
<v Speaker 1>So all that to say, you've been doing lights al

0:06:29.120 --> 0:06:31.440
<v Speaker 1>and I just think the Lightsol must be doing something.

0:06:32.480 --> 0:06:34.840
<v Speaker 1>Always said this, We said this too, though, that Lightsol

0:06:34.880 --> 0:06:37.840
<v Speaker 1>now has these commercials that specifically say that their most

0:06:37.839 --> 0:06:40.520
<v Speaker 1>effective in killing COVID nineteen. It's a part of their

0:06:40.560 --> 0:06:44.080
<v Speaker 1>tagline at the at the bottom scroll. So it works.

0:06:44.160 --> 0:06:46.680
<v Speaker 1>So we can give Flame that credit that she was

0:06:46.720 --> 0:06:49.760
<v Speaker 1>the first to spray people and it's been working a

0:06:49.880 --> 0:06:52.920
<v Speaker 1>year later. And let's go back and let's go back

0:06:52.920 --> 0:06:55.040
<v Speaker 1>to the three to teach you who who lost her

0:06:55.080 --> 0:06:57.760
<v Speaker 1>job for spraying the three year kid. At least she

0:06:57.800 --> 0:07:00.600
<v Speaker 1>didn't tell the kid to take it internally to ingested

0:07:00.720 --> 0:07:02.600
<v Speaker 1>or put it in a needle and shooting in her arm,

0:07:02.920 --> 0:07:07.839
<v Speaker 1>and put up who did that? Your president? For one

0:07:07.839 --> 0:07:12.760
<v Speaker 1>more day, your president, for the record, we're telling everybody

0:07:12.760 --> 0:07:15.680
<v Speaker 1>about the story that we uh came across last week

0:07:15.680 --> 0:07:18.640
<v Speaker 1>of Florida teacher accused of spring students with with lysol.

0:07:19.000 --> 0:07:21.760
<v Speaker 1>She was arrested because she really wanted to just make

0:07:21.800 --> 0:07:24.960
<v Speaker 1>sure that the kids were, you know, disinfected when they

0:07:24.960 --> 0:07:26.800
<v Speaker 1>came in a mist And I want to be clear,

0:07:26.880 --> 0:07:29.480
<v Speaker 1>it's not like you are, Hey, Nick, stand here, spraying

0:07:29.520 --> 0:07:35.680
<v Speaker 1>me in my face. That's not what you're doing that

0:07:32.080 --> 0:07:40.880
<v Speaker 1>over and over the shield of protection. While according to

0:07:40.920 --> 0:07:45.240
<v Speaker 1>police and Largo and Penella's County near Tampa, Christina, resident

0:07:45.240 --> 0:07:47.880
<v Speaker 1>Star fifty one years old, was arrested last week, she

0:07:47.920 --> 0:07:52.680
<v Speaker 1>allegedly sprayed the air assault disinfectant in and around the children,

0:07:53.080 --> 0:07:55.600
<v Speaker 1>uh in her classroom. You know, she's fifty one. She

0:07:55.680 --> 0:07:58.040
<v Speaker 1>was worried about her own safety and everyone else, and

0:07:58.080 --> 0:08:01.640
<v Speaker 1>they arrested her for that. So fifty one not fifty one.

0:08:01.720 --> 0:08:04.000
<v Speaker 1>Fifty And I can almost guarantee you that she's a

0:08:04.040 --> 0:08:06.560
<v Speaker 1>flame Matt. I bet you she's a flame mat and

0:08:06.680 --> 0:08:08.600
<v Speaker 1>she watches what we have done over here, because we

0:08:08.640 --> 0:08:11.040
<v Speaker 1>spray everybody and it works. You know, A flame man

0:08:11.120 --> 0:08:13.640
<v Speaker 1>just said, you should uh probably be getting a check

0:08:13.680 --> 0:08:15.080
<v Speaker 1>from Life saw. That might be something we need to

0:08:15.080 --> 0:08:18.280
<v Speaker 1>look in the way you advocate for them. I need

0:08:18.320 --> 0:08:20.120
<v Speaker 1>your people to talk to my people so that I

0:08:20.160 --> 0:08:22.640
<v Speaker 1>can get a check. That might be a good idea.

0:08:22.760 --> 0:08:25.520
<v Speaker 1>The commercial case, you definitely have a full piece and

0:08:25.560 --> 0:08:28.920
<v Speaker 1>everything there might need, but commercial. And we're not saying

0:08:28.920 --> 0:08:31.040
<v Speaker 1>that's to shame her, because we were also talking about

0:08:31.040 --> 0:08:33.600
<v Speaker 1>shaming all the way around. Fat shaming and everything is

0:08:33.679 --> 0:08:37.880
<v Speaker 1>really becoming a thing lately. Flame Lauren has a story

0:08:37.920 --> 0:08:40.720
<v Speaker 1>about fast shamming. Before I go into my spield, Yeah

0:08:40.720 --> 0:08:43.080
<v Speaker 1>I told I mean, I told Dick this yesterday. But

0:08:43.240 --> 0:08:45.480
<v Speaker 1>funny enough, a couple of weeks ago, Flame was in

0:08:45.480 --> 0:08:47.880
<v Speaker 1>the grocery store. Someone came up to her and it's like,

0:08:47.920 --> 0:08:51.080
<v Speaker 1>oh my gosh, love the show, Love Nick, Love Lauren,

0:08:51.600 --> 0:08:58.440
<v Speaker 1>but decided to say, has Lauren been snacking? So you know,

0:08:58.480 --> 0:09:00.559
<v Speaker 1>we're talking about fat shaming. I feel like we all

0:09:00.600 --> 0:09:02.840
<v Speaker 1>have a story, but it's it's no shade because you know,

0:09:02.920 --> 0:09:05.520
<v Speaker 1>you always need those people to keep you in check. Like,

0:09:05.559 --> 0:09:08.079
<v Speaker 1>for instance, I have a great grandmother. She turned a

0:09:08.160 --> 0:09:11.120
<v Speaker 1>hundred and one on January second. I love her dearly,

0:09:11.640 --> 0:09:15.040
<v Speaker 1>but she's, you know, relatively blind. She can't see, so

0:09:15.080 --> 0:09:17.080
<v Speaker 1>every time I see her, she always, you know, Ray

0:09:17.160 --> 0:09:20.640
<v Speaker 1>Charles is me to see if I've gained weight. So

0:09:21.520 --> 0:09:24.800
<v Speaker 1>we you know, we appreciate everyone keeping us in check. Sometimes,

0:09:24.800 --> 0:09:26.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, you need somebody to just nudge a little

0:09:26.480 --> 0:09:29.080
<v Speaker 1>bit and say, hey, you know you're doing okay, but

0:09:29.600 --> 0:09:33.080
<v Speaker 1>that's my fat. Okay, let's go to the source of

0:09:33.320 --> 0:09:38.839
<v Speaker 1>fat shaming, because yeah, understand that there is a process

0:09:38.840 --> 0:09:42.680
<v Speaker 1>to fat shaming. Gaining weight and losing weight is the

0:09:42.760 --> 0:09:45.959
<v Speaker 1>exact same process. It takes time to get it off

0:09:46.040 --> 0:09:48.280
<v Speaker 1>and it takes time to put it on. You do

0:09:48.440 --> 0:09:51.319
<v Speaker 1>understand that you contribute to putting it on, becau. It's

0:09:51.360 --> 0:09:56.440
<v Speaker 1>called hand to mouth, you know, chicken, potato, chips, ice cream.

0:09:56.760 --> 0:09:59.800
<v Speaker 1>Don't start telling somebody, oh, you fat shamy. You didn't

0:09:59.840 --> 0:10:02.400
<v Speaker 1>get fat in the day. That was the process. You

0:10:02.800 --> 0:10:06.000
<v Speaker 1>was fat last week, yesterday, tomorrow, next month, last month,

0:10:06.040 --> 0:10:08.480
<v Speaker 1>three weeks ago, yeah, next year, last year, all that.

0:10:08.720 --> 0:10:10.679
<v Speaker 1>So y'all stop with all that. Oh I'm fetching. It's

0:10:10.679 --> 0:10:13.079
<v Speaker 1>not a such thing as fat shaming. It took time

0:10:13.080 --> 0:10:15.120
<v Speaker 1>to get fat. It takes time to lose the fat.

0:10:15.120 --> 0:10:17.160
<v Speaker 1>Even though you can have the quick surgery now, the

0:10:17.200 --> 0:10:19.880
<v Speaker 1>fat still don't fall off. So stop saying that people

0:10:19.920 --> 0:10:22.360
<v Speaker 1>are fast shaming you when you contribute it to that,

0:10:22.840 --> 0:10:25.000
<v Speaker 1>to that fat. So what you're trying to say, I'm

0:10:25.000 --> 0:10:28.080
<v Speaker 1>trying to say that. Don't be running around here. Are

0:10:28.800 --> 0:10:30.160
<v Speaker 1>did I agree with the guy saying you have a

0:10:30.240 --> 0:10:45.439
<v Speaker 1>snacking no comment? Oh my god, I'm that we're talking

0:10:45.440 --> 0:10:47.520
<v Speaker 1>about people who love to shame people. Can we talk

0:10:47.559 --> 0:10:50.760
<v Speaker 1>about your president and how he has continued to take

0:10:50.800 --> 0:10:55.760
<v Speaker 1>donations um for a failed of for making false claims

0:10:55.800 --> 0:10:58.480
<v Speaker 1>about the election being rigged, and he has wrecked in

0:10:58.640 --> 0:11:02.880
<v Speaker 1>quite a bit donations. Trump has raised four hundred and

0:11:02.960 --> 0:11:06.880
<v Speaker 1>ninety five million since mid October, including a massive hall

0:11:07.000 --> 0:11:11.880
<v Speaker 1>fueled by misleading appeals about election fraud. So guess what

0:11:12.080 --> 0:11:15.040
<v Speaker 1>he owes four hundred and twenty million, apparently either to

0:11:15.160 --> 0:11:17.480
<v Speaker 1>China or to Russia. I mean you, I know you

0:11:17.480 --> 0:11:19.640
<v Speaker 1>don't pay taxes, nigger, but go ahead and pay them

0:11:19.640 --> 0:11:21.360
<v Speaker 1>because you know them people ain't gonna play with you.

0:11:21.600 --> 0:11:24.160
<v Speaker 1>So you need to gonna pay Putin or Yan Yang

0:11:24.280 --> 0:11:26.920
<v Speaker 1>or whoever you owe money too, and get your debt

0:11:26.920 --> 0:11:30.480
<v Speaker 1>clear because your your followers, your people have gave you

0:11:30.559 --> 0:11:33.240
<v Speaker 1>that money to pay off that debt. Now he said

0:11:33.280 --> 0:11:35.199
<v Speaker 1>nothing about the taxes in America that you ain't pay.

0:11:35.480 --> 0:11:38.160
<v Speaker 1>We're talked about that other debt because you will disappear

0:11:38.160 --> 0:11:41.559
<v Speaker 1>because those especially with the Asians, them yangs, don't play baby.

0:11:41.880 --> 0:11:43.880
<v Speaker 1>Don't owe them no money. They're follow you around the

0:11:43.880 --> 0:11:47.560
<v Speaker 1>beauty blast ask me how No, Okay, wait a minute.

0:11:48.679 --> 0:11:51.080
<v Speaker 1>These are all people who will clearly be looking to

0:11:51.400 --> 0:11:53.960
<v Speaker 1>President Trump need to pay them back or ask for favors,

0:11:54.000 --> 0:11:58.000
<v Speaker 1>because among those are the Capitol Hill rioters who have

0:11:58.080 --> 0:12:02.200
<v Speaker 1>been arrested, many of whom have made public appeals, public

0:12:02.200 --> 0:12:06.040
<v Speaker 1>appeals for uh leniency saying that, hey, I expect the

0:12:06.080 --> 0:12:10.640
<v Speaker 1>president to pardon me because I was carrying out his orders. Yeah,

0:12:10.679 --> 0:12:13.480
<v Speaker 1>that that's correct. Uh one. I would just like to

0:12:13.480 --> 0:12:16.960
<v Speaker 1>say it's so unfortunate that people are really naive because

0:12:17.360 --> 0:12:19.360
<v Speaker 1>you've been giving money to Trump as if he was

0:12:19.400 --> 0:12:23.440
<v Speaker 1>going to run again one and now he's facing facing

0:12:23.440 --> 0:12:27.720
<v Speaker 1>impeachment for the second time. Um, but also too, it's

0:12:27.800 --> 0:12:30.800
<v Speaker 1>just it's baffling that, you know, I mean, un let's

0:12:30.800 --> 0:12:32.640
<v Speaker 1>just say this. Reports are coming out that Trump is

0:12:32.679 --> 0:12:36.920
<v Speaker 1>definitely going to either trade you know, our intelligence so

0:12:36.960 --> 0:12:38.680
<v Speaker 1>that way he can you know, knock off some of

0:12:38.720 --> 0:12:41.400
<v Speaker 1>his debt. So it's gonna be interesting to see how

0:12:41.640 --> 0:12:44.280
<v Speaker 1>all of this plays out. And to your last point, Nick,

0:12:44.400 --> 0:12:47.480
<v Speaker 1>is Trump is expected to pardon about a hundred people tomorrow.

0:12:48.280 --> 0:12:53.480
<v Speaker 1>So um, overall, it's uh yeah, it's it's interesting because

0:12:53.600 --> 0:12:55.800
<v Speaker 1>Mr Trump has indeed been in peace the second time.

0:12:57.000 --> 0:12:59.400
<v Speaker 1>How remix that right? Wait a minute, remix there are

0:12:59.440 --> 0:13:04.240
<v Speaker 1>you about the who was your job? Your job? About

0:13:04.280 --> 0:13:08.040
<v Speaker 1>who's your job? And has the distinction of having more

0:13:08.160 --> 0:13:10.680
<v Speaker 1>votes for impeachment than any other You know, so not

0:13:10.760 --> 0:13:12.839
<v Speaker 1>only has he won in a number of times of

0:13:12.880 --> 0:13:15.840
<v Speaker 1>being impeached he leads that twice now or no one

0:13:15.880 --> 0:13:19.520
<v Speaker 1>else has been impeached twice, but also by bipartisans support.

0:13:19.640 --> 0:13:23.880
<v Speaker 1>The fact that ten Republicans joined on board also reset

0:13:23.960 --> 0:13:26.760
<v Speaker 1>the stage as well that it wasn't completely partisan. It

0:13:26.840 --> 0:13:30.600
<v Speaker 1>was indeed a bad partisan decision, but among those Jacob

0:13:30.679 --> 0:13:35.160
<v Speaker 1>Anthony Chancelly a k A. Jake and Jelly Um was

0:13:35.240 --> 0:13:40.040
<v Speaker 1>allowed to request and have his request received and approved

0:13:40.040 --> 0:13:43.920
<v Speaker 1>to have only organic food while he is incarcerated waiting

0:13:43.960 --> 0:13:47.160
<v Speaker 1>for You know, is that the white boy with all

0:13:47.200 --> 0:13:50.080
<v Speaker 1>the pain and ship on his faith. Yeah, the one

0:13:50.120 --> 0:13:52.880
<v Speaker 1>who the one who his mommy came out and said

0:13:52.920 --> 0:13:54.760
<v Speaker 1>that he's not popped by but he has to have

0:13:54.920 --> 0:13:58.960
<v Speaker 1>his spinach. Then he's staying jail long enough, he's gonna

0:13:58.960 --> 0:14:02.520
<v Speaker 1>get all the fat free men baby, no calorie and

0:14:02.559 --> 0:14:06.439
<v Speaker 1>ale magam gain no waight uh, it's organic. It comes

0:14:06.480 --> 0:14:09.760
<v Speaker 1>from the body directly. Did you you can get organic

0:14:09.800 --> 0:14:11.760
<v Speaker 1>food in jail? Though this was news to me. I

0:14:11.760 --> 0:14:14.920
<v Speaker 1>didn't even know. I'm gonna say this just just just

0:14:15.000 --> 0:14:18.080
<v Speaker 1>to be clear. Because there are those who may be

0:14:18.160 --> 0:14:23.120
<v Speaker 1>aware that when you are incarcerated UM, there is indeed UH,

0:14:23.320 --> 0:14:27.160
<v Speaker 1>they're indeed ramifications and modifications made for those who have

0:14:27.560 --> 0:14:30.840
<v Speaker 1>different areas of worship. So it is not outrageous to

0:14:30.840 --> 0:14:33.800
<v Speaker 1>me that organic food would be among those things, because

0:14:33.800 --> 0:14:37.520
<v Speaker 1>there are those who who often convert UH to the

0:14:37.600 --> 0:14:41.280
<v Speaker 1>nation of Islam, and then they're allowed to worship differently,

0:14:41.320 --> 0:14:44.080
<v Speaker 1>and they do eat differently. I was not qualified for

0:14:44.240 --> 0:14:46.840
<v Speaker 1>organic food, though I understand, like maybe if you you

0:14:46.880 --> 0:14:49.960
<v Speaker 1>know your seventh day advantage, you don't need pork or

0:14:50.000 --> 0:14:53.960
<v Speaker 1>something like that. But organic food it's expensive out of

0:14:54.000 --> 0:14:56.480
<v Speaker 1>jail to purchase, so right, but there are those who

0:14:56.520 --> 0:14:59.280
<v Speaker 1>choose not to put those toxins in their body, and

0:14:59.280 --> 0:15:01.640
<v Speaker 1>and and and you know, and he's you know, So

0:15:01.680 --> 0:15:04.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm just saying that that's not outrageous to be but

0:15:04.560 --> 0:15:06.600
<v Speaker 1>all of that goes off the table when you are

0:15:06.680 --> 0:15:11.280
<v Speaker 1>incarcerated for what here you go, right here, he's incarcerated

0:15:11.320 --> 0:15:15.080
<v Speaker 1>for a crime against America, treason. That's a crime. He

0:15:15.080 --> 0:15:17.480
<v Speaker 1>shouldn't be allowed to have any If it was a brother,

0:15:17.600 --> 0:15:19.720
<v Speaker 1>let me just say the fucking words. If it was

0:15:19.760 --> 0:15:22.600
<v Speaker 1>a brother, that will eat the same maloney sandwich. Is

0:15:22.640 --> 0:15:24.880
<v Speaker 1>that the rest of us. Because I've been in jail,

0:15:24.920 --> 0:15:27.120
<v Speaker 1>I had them maloney sounds. They're hard to get down,

0:15:27.160 --> 0:15:29.080
<v Speaker 1>but they they're good trading stuff. You know. You can

0:15:29.120 --> 0:15:31.520
<v Speaker 1>use them, play cards with anything. They think. It's they

0:15:31.640 --> 0:15:33.960
<v Speaker 1>really think, but you can play cards with them. And yeah,

0:15:33.960 --> 0:15:37.240
<v Speaker 1>all of that. I don't like the fact that he

0:15:37.280 --> 0:15:39.560
<v Speaker 1>gets Yeah, I don't like the fact that he gets

0:15:39.600 --> 0:15:42.720
<v Speaker 1>special privilege because I'm selling. I'm sorry. They've given too

0:15:42.720 --> 0:15:44.800
<v Speaker 1>many of them special privileges, and I'm just not for

0:15:44.960 --> 0:15:46.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm not for it, and I want to talk about

0:15:46.960 --> 0:15:49.480
<v Speaker 1>them the more. Today is a very special day because

0:15:49.480 --> 0:15:53.800
<v Speaker 1>today we celebrate whose birthday was on Friday, the memory

0:15:53.880 --> 0:15:56.920
<v Speaker 1>the legacy of the one and only Dr Martin Luther King,

0:15:57.520 --> 0:16:01.000
<v Speaker 1>Reverend Dr King, one of the don't think fathers of

0:16:01.160 --> 0:16:03.160
<v Speaker 1>the civil rights movement. He wasn't the only one that

0:16:03.280 --> 0:16:04.960
<v Speaker 1>was a bunch of them, but he was the one

0:16:05.000 --> 0:16:06.720
<v Speaker 1>that we saw. He was the one that was out

0:16:06.720 --> 0:16:09.080
<v Speaker 1>there publicly and we spoke because there was a couple

0:16:09.080 --> 0:16:11.040
<v Speaker 1>of other ones that was right there with him, But

0:16:11.160 --> 0:16:13.480
<v Speaker 1>the times we were different, and they could not be

0:16:13.840 --> 0:16:17.000
<v Speaker 1>as open to speak about civil rights because they had

0:16:17.160 --> 0:16:20.360
<v Speaker 1>skeletons in their closet, one of them being part of

0:16:20.440 --> 0:16:24.640
<v Speaker 1>the LGBT community. They are Rustin, who was actually supposed

0:16:24.640 --> 0:16:27.360
<v Speaker 1>to be selected to be Martin Luther King. He was

0:16:27.360 --> 0:16:29.840
<v Speaker 1>actually supposed to be the king of that era. But

0:16:29.880 --> 0:16:32.080
<v Speaker 1>he got cotton car. He got cotton the car with

0:16:32.120 --> 0:16:34.440
<v Speaker 1>two white boys. I guess it's different if you get

0:16:34.440 --> 0:16:36.480
<v Speaker 1>cotton card with two white boys as opposed to being

0:16:36.560 --> 0:16:39.120
<v Speaker 1>king going around from state to stay, smashing and grabbing.

0:16:39.120 --> 0:16:42.520
<v Speaker 1>Because we love you, Dr King. But the notorious rumors out,

0:16:42.520 --> 0:16:44.600
<v Speaker 1>so all you side bitches that think y'all just started,

0:16:44.920 --> 0:16:47.440
<v Speaker 1>baby Martin was putting pushing panties back to the side

0:16:47.480 --> 0:16:49.280
<v Speaker 1>like jay Z way back in the day. Baby, I'm

0:16:49.280 --> 0:16:52.240
<v Speaker 1>just saying, and we still love you, Dr King. I

0:16:52.280 --> 0:16:57.560
<v Speaker 1>don't think anybody's ever heard that before. And they watched Selma.

0:16:57.760 --> 0:17:00.640
<v Speaker 1>If you watched Selma, they know it's okay. I'm a knowledge.

0:17:00.640 --> 0:17:03.040
<v Speaker 1>Now I will say this. I'll tell you what may

0:17:03.040 --> 0:17:05.800
<v Speaker 1>not become a knowledge. Did you know that Martin Luther

0:17:06.000 --> 0:17:09.760
<v Speaker 1>King was not his original name? Yes? Yes, we didn't, okay,

0:17:10.280 --> 0:17:13.560
<v Speaker 1>And when did you? When did you learn that? Sarah yesterday?

0:17:13.680 --> 0:17:20.600
<v Speaker 1>Who taught you? Who taught you that his name? But

0:17:22.160 --> 0:17:24.960
<v Speaker 1>his name was yeah, absolutely, I just thought that was interesting.

0:17:25.240 --> 0:17:28.680
<v Speaker 1>The story abow Martin Michael King Junior became Martin Luther

0:17:28.800 --> 0:17:31.440
<v Speaker 1>King Jr. And it all stems from his father having

0:17:31.440 --> 0:17:34.560
<v Speaker 1>taken a trip to Germany being so influenced by what

0:17:34.600 --> 0:17:38.479
<v Speaker 1>he saw was the rise of Nazism in Berlin at

0:17:38.520 --> 0:17:41.280
<v Speaker 1>the time, Adolf Hitler just was just moving into power,

0:17:41.680 --> 0:17:45.760
<v Speaker 1>and he loved the teachings of Martin Luther of Germany,

0:17:46.000 --> 0:17:48.119
<v Speaker 1>and he said, you know what, he was so influenced

0:17:48.119 --> 0:17:51.040
<v Speaker 1>by that, and how he felt that that could enact change,

0:17:51.119 --> 0:17:56.040
<v Speaker 1>that those teachings were all about empowering people, uh civil discourse,

0:17:56.080 --> 0:17:59.600
<v Speaker 1>but uh a peaceful protest, all of these different things,

0:17:59.600 --> 0:18:03.360
<v Speaker 1>to fight for equality. And he came back and that

0:18:03.400 --> 0:18:07.040
<v Speaker 1>became his life's mission. Um. And then later in life

0:18:07.200 --> 0:18:10.800
<v Speaker 1>Martin changed his name, uh to Michael, changed his name

0:18:10.840 --> 0:18:14.199
<v Speaker 1>to Martin Luther, and so it became Martin Luther King Jr.

0:18:14.760 --> 0:18:16.880
<v Speaker 1>Just like his dad. And part of that too, though,

0:18:16.960 --> 0:18:19.560
<v Speaker 1>was that he wanted to distinguish himself from others. You know,

0:18:19.680 --> 0:18:22.120
<v Speaker 1>I had I had studied part of this in school too,

0:18:22.200 --> 0:18:24.080
<v Speaker 1>is uh. You know, like you said, Martin Luther did

0:18:24.119 --> 0:18:27.080
<v Speaker 1>the thesis. He came back but he also realized that

0:18:27.080 --> 0:18:28.679
<v Speaker 1>that was more of a distinguished name that would help

0:18:28.760 --> 0:18:31.240
<v Speaker 1>him stand out in society. So that was also partly

0:18:31.280 --> 0:18:33.240
<v Speaker 1>two of why he changed his name and then decided

0:18:33.280 --> 0:18:36.840
<v Speaker 1>to change his son's name as well. So, um, but

0:18:36.960 --> 0:18:39.560
<v Speaker 1>like flame changing your name, changing your name to stand out,

0:18:39.640 --> 0:18:42.159
<v Speaker 1>is that how one becomes flame? Unroe? Also, you know

0:18:42.720 --> 0:18:46.200
<v Speaker 1>maybe who knew? Uh, let's talk about some of my Martina,

0:18:48.040 --> 0:18:51.560
<v Speaker 1>Let's talk about Martin is fantastically my personal favorite quote

0:18:51.560 --> 0:18:53.720
<v Speaker 1>of Martin Luther King because I was I was two

0:18:53.720 --> 0:18:57.160
<v Speaker 1>when Martin was assassinated after the Rainmon Jail and on

0:18:57.320 --> 0:19:00.360
<v Speaker 1>April the fourth, I was only two. I was gonna

0:19:00.400 --> 0:19:04.000
<v Speaker 1>turn in three that year. But it Uh, I remember

0:19:04.080 --> 0:19:06.600
<v Speaker 1>and I don't remember, like, but I remember my grandmother

0:19:06.640 --> 0:19:08.359
<v Speaker 1>being in such a funk even at that age. And

0:19:08.359 --> 0:19:10.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm telling I only remember that recently because you you'd

0:19:10.920 --> 0:19:13.439
<v Speaker 1>be surprised at what you remember as a kid. And

0:19:13.520 --> 0:19:15.400
<v Speaker 1>she was so broken because she had pictures of Martin

0:19:15.440 --> 0:19:17.520
<v Speaker 1>Luther King, like we have pictures of Barack Obama over

0:19:17.560 --> 0:19:20.040
<v Speaker 1>the house. I and my grandmother and them had pictures

0:19:20.040 --> 0:19:22.239
<v Speaker 1>of Martin Luther King and Malcolm Max and people like that.

0:19:22.440 --> 0:19:24.840
<v Speaker 1>Jesse Jackson at the time she took those pictures down

0:19:24.840 --> 0:19:26.560
<v Speaker 1>to Jesse Jackson, let me just say before she left

0:19:26.560 --> 0:19:30.600
<v Speaker 1>here anyway, Jesse get getting caught with us in this ship.

0:19:31.240 --> 0:19:34.480
<v Speaker 1>Any who. She was so hurt and so broken because

0:19:34.520 --> 0:19:37.479
<v Speaker 1>they're assassinated King. But she had said that after they

0:19:37.520 --> 0:19:40.840
<v Speaker 1>assassinated Bobby Kennedy and Bobby Kennedy was for civil rights

0:19:40.840 --> 0:19:43.440
<v Speaker 1>and was standing with King, that she knew would only

0:19:43.440 --> 0:19:45.960
<v Speaker 1>be a matter of time before they And she didn't

0:19:45.960 --> 0:19:47.280
<v Speaker 1>say that that day, but she told me that as

0:19:47.320 --> 0:19:49.000
<v Speaker 1>I got older, that she knew that they were going

0:19:49.040 --> 0:19:51.280
<v Speaker 1>to assassinate Martin Luther King. I think that he knew too.

0:19:51.720 --> 0:19:53.560
<v Speaker 1>In one of his memoirs. I think it's his sixty

0:19:53.560 --> 0:19:55.960
<v Speaker 1>three memoir, which is my favorite quote of here's so

0:19:56.040 --> 0:19:59.560
<v Speaker 1>many is once you accept death, you're free. It allowed

0:19:59.560 --> 0:20:02.080
<v Speaker 1>me to the stand that we're all are going to die.

0:20:02.680 --> 0:20:05.200
<v Speaker 1>I can't be walking around worried about when it's gonna happen,

0:20:05.200 --> 0:20:07.159
<v Speaker 1>on how it's gonna happen. I just gotta keep living

0:20:07.359 --> 0:20:10.159
<v Speaker 1>because it's inevitable for not only myself but everybody. We're

0:20:10.200 --> 0:20:12.160
<v Speaker 1>all going to die. But he has so many quotes,

0:20:12.200 --> 0:20:14.120
<v Speaker 1>and we want to know what's your favorite and why

0:20:14.880 --> 0:20:17.719
<v Speaker 1>you got a favorite qute from the I Do I Do? Um,

0:20:18.080 --> 0:20:21.200
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna to quote it exactly what your favorite We'll

0:20:21.200 --> 0:20:25.600
<v Speaker 1>never get this ship all the way right. Well, one

0:20:25.600 --> 0:20:27.800
<v Speaker 1>of my favorite quotes is actually, in the end, we

0:20:27.800 --> 0:20:30.399
<v Speaker 1>will remember not the words of our enemies, but the

0:20:30.440 --> 0:20:32.959
<v Speaker 1>silence of our friends. Um. That's one of my favorite

0:20:32.960 --> 0:20:36.600
<v Speaker 1>Doctor King quotes. Nick, what about you? I was talking

0:20:36.600 --> 0:20:40.400
<v Speaker 1>about the one that uh we talked about yesterday. Our

0:20:40.440 --> 0:20:43.560
<v Speaker 1>lives began to end the day we become silent about

0:20:43.600 --> 0:20:47.240
<v Speaker 1>things that matter. And you said thing like whoa, because

0:20:47.280 --> 0:20:49.760
<v Speaker 1>sometimes you I think people move into space where they

0:20:49.760 --> 0:20:52.520
<v Speaker 1>feel like, well, I'm just gonna ain't got nothing to

0:20:52.520 --> 0:20:53.919
<v Speaker 1>do it mean, let me just go ahead and let

0:20:53.920 --> 0:20:56.520
<v Speaker 1>it go. Um. And we've often talked about the importance

0:20:56.520 --> 0:20:59.480
<v Speaker 1>of allies and and people who are engaged in the process,

0:20:59.560 --> 0:21:02.520
<v Speaker 1>because truly, none of us are free until everybody is free.

0:21:02.560 --> 0:21:05.359
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, definitely what he did do though, even with

0:21:05.400 --> 0:21:08.639
<v Speaker 1>the with the what with the bus what was it

0:21:08.680 --> 0:21:13.959
<v Speaker 1>called bus boycott? He gave us a sense of purpose

0:21:14.359 --> 0:21:17.159
<v Speaker 1>because we only felt like we could be a maid's

0:21:17.440 --> 0:21:21.119
<v Speaker 1>or bus boys or in that era, you know, he

0:21:21.200 --> 0:21:22.760
<v Speaker 1>gave us a sense of purpose that we can be

0:21:22.800 --> 0:21:24.399
<v Speaker 1>so much more. We can be this, we could be that.

0:21:24.520 --> 0:21:27.240
<v Speaker 1>In his his speech, I have a dream, he dreamed,

0:21:27.280 --> 0:21:29.320
<v Speaker 1>and he dreamed big for us, and he did say

0:21:29.359 --> 0:21:31.960
<v Speaker 1>in his speech prolifically that I may not be there

0:21:32.480 --> 0:21:34.480
<v Speaker 1>with you when you get there. We still ain't got there.

0:21:34.680 --> 0:21:37.480
<v Speaker 1>Dr King, we still have not gotten there. It feels

0:21:37.480 --> 0:21:39.199
<v Speaker 1>like we're getting close. And every time I feel like

0:21:39.200 --> 0:21:41.960
<v Speaker 1>we're getting closer and closer, it's snatched away from us.

0:21:42.040 --> 0:21:45.280
<v Speaker 1>Because we do have some prolific leaders. But right now

0:21:45.359 --> 0:21:48.840
<v Speaker 1>we need to stand by these female prolific leaders that

0:21:48.920 --> 0:21:52.200
<v Speaker 1>we have because the women are the ones that standing

0:21:52.240 --> 0:21:54.560
<v Speaker 1>on the front line right now, being the generals, and

0:21:54.600 --> 0:21:56.680
<v Speaker 1>the men need to get out I'm talking about the

0:21:56.840 --> 0:21:59.320
<v Speaker 1>other black men need to get out the way, or

0:21:59.359 --> 0:22:01.359
<v Speaker 1>get to the out of them, or stand right behind

0:22:01.440 --> 0:22:02.679
<v Speaker 1>them to hold them up. Because you know how they

0:22:02.720 --> 0:22:04.840
<v Speaker 1>always say behind every great man, that every good man,

0:22:04.880 --> 0:22:08.000
<v Speaker 1>that's a great woman, behind every great woman. Let it

0:22:08.080 --> 0:22:10.520
<v Speaker 1>be a good man, and it was a black woman,

0:22:10.600 --> 0:22:12.359
<v Speaker 1>Let it be a strong black man. You know what

0:22:12.400 --> 0:22:14.199
<v Speaker 1>made me think about that was last night we were

0:22:14.280 --> 0:22:16.760
<v Speaker 1>I was watching the interview with Abbie Philip, who I

0:22:16.760 --> 0:22:20.840
<v Speaker 1>absolutely adore sing Abbie Phillips. She was interviewing Vice President

0:22:20.880 --> 0:22:25.320
<v Speaker 1>that Kamala Harris, you're so roared. I can do that.

0:22:25.440 --> 0:22:28.359
<v Speaker 1>You know, we just had founders down and and I

0:22:28.359 --> 0:22:31.439
<v Speaker 1>found out yesterday A k A is the oldest um.

0:22:33.000 --> 0:22:34.879
<v Speaker 1>Yeah you know the word. I was gonna say fraternity

0:22:34.880 --> 0:22:36.359
<v Speaker 1>because you know, mixed up over here. This he she

0:22:36.440 --> 0:22:38.919
<v Speaker 1>week because I couldn't did both of the ship. But

0:22:39.359 --> 0:22:42.359
<v Speaker 1>any who, what I said that to say that when

0:22:43.040 --> 0:22:48.400
<v Speaker 1>uh Abby was interviewing Kamala and the husband Tim, when

0:22:48.440 --> 0:22:51.040
<v Speaker 1>he spoke about his wife, this is how you know

0:22:51.080 --> 0:22:53.080
<v Speaker 1>when a man loves a woman. To me, this is

0:22:53.119 --> 0:22:55.960
<v Speaker 1>my opinion. He turned and looked her in her eyes

0:22:56.040 --> 0:22:58.359
<v Speaker 1>and said, I love you, I love my wife. Do

0:22:58.480 --> 0:23:00.680
<v Speaker 1>you know it was some racist wife folks all over

0:23:00.720 --> 0:23:02.600
<v Speaker 1>this country kicking the ship out. They can I know

0:23:02.680 --> 0:23:04.240
<v Speaker 1>they was mad at say, oh baby, I know the

0:23:04.359 --> 0:23:07.119
<v Speaker 1>hill Billies was shooting up every day. I'm playing because

0:23:07.160 --> 0:23:09.399
<v Speaker 1>that is something that you don't see. It's okay to

0:23:09.560 --> 0:23:12.240
<v Speaker 1>sneak with a black woman sometimes, it's okay to even

0:23:12.280 --> 0:23:14.280
<v Speaker 1>have a black woman as a girlfriend, but to marry

0:23:14.320 --> 0:23:17.840
<v Speaker 1>her and publicly say on such a major platform that

0:23:17.960 --> 0:23:20.159
<v Speaker 1>you love this woman and he said, I let this

0:23:20.240 --> 0:23:23.359
<v Speaker 1>black woman he says, I love my wife. Baby. That

0:23:23.359 --> 0:23:26.240
<v Speaker 1>that was powerful to me because I can remember when

0:23:26.240 --> 0:23:29.440
<v Speaker 1>that was taboo. That's how old I am. I'm gonna

0:23:29.440 --> 0:23:32.560
<v Speaker 1>tell you the best things I heard today. UM. I

0:23:32.600 --> 0:23:36.119
<v Speaker 1>was listening to NPR earlier and they had an interview

0:23:36.160 --> 0:23:41.080
<v Speaker 1>with Jim CLYBURNEUM, who I also believed to be absolutely brilliant.

0:23:41.119 --> 0:23:43.679
<v Speaker 1>I think he is, like UM, one of the most

0:23:43.920 --> 0:23:48.480
<v Speaker 1>underrated stars of the Democratic Party. And he just talked

0:23:48.520 --> 0:23:51.359
<v Speaker 1>about King because again this is all part of his

0:23:51.440 --> 0:23:53.520
<v Speaker 1>sister as well. And he was just talking about where

0:23:53.520 --> 0:23:55.320
<v Speaker 1>we are now as a country and why he still

0:23:55.359 --> 0:23:57.600
<v Speaker 1>has hope and why he still believes and why he's

0:23:57.600 --> 0:24:00.600
<v Speaker 1>still engaged in this process and and you know, the

0:24:00.640 --> 0:24:03.080
<v Speaker 1>interview at one point says, but you know, the progressive

0:24:03.119 --> 0:24:05.520
<v Speaker 1>wing of the party just feels like, you know, older

0:24:05.560 --> 0:24:07.320
<v Speaker 1>Democrats are just too stuck in the ways that you

0:24:07.400 --> 0:24:10.880
<v Speaker 1>all don't get it. And he never condescended. He simply said,

0:24:10.920 --> 0:24:13.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, and this is what my good brother Martin

0:24:13.520 --> 0:24:17.240
<v Speaker 1>talked about, is that we're supposed to have creative conflict.

0:24:17.520 --> 0:24:19.359
<v Speaker 1>And I just loved how he's like, you know, we

0:24:19.400 --> 0:24:21.840
<v Speaker 1>will never agree on how we're all supposed to get there,

0:24:22.000 --> 0:24:23.879
<v Speaker 1>But I believe that we will all get there, and

0:24:23.920 --> 0:24:26.280
<v Speaker 1>we all have to keep fighting to get there. So

0:24:26.400 --> 0:24:30.120
<v Speaker 1>his message definitely lives on he um mine and King

0:24:30.240 --> 0:24:33.080
<v Speaker 1>just it was at such a time that it was

0:24:33.119 --> 0:24:35.200
<v Speaker 1>so needed, even though I was a kid, that it's

0:24:35.200 --> 0:24:37.320
<v Speaker 1>set a precipice for people, so we know that we

0:24:37.320 --> 0:24:39.000
<v Speaker 1>could fight back and we know that we could stand

0:24:39.040 --> 0:24:41.400
<v Speaker 1>up against the opposition, so that it was a great help.

0:24:41.440 --> 0:24:43.159
<v Speaker 1>And I know I make jokes about everything, y'all know

0:24:43.200 --> 0:24:45.080
<v Speaker 1>who I am, But my Luther King is a great

0:24:45.160 --> 0:24:47.960
<v Speaker 1>leader and we will always be respected as a great

0:24:48.040 --> 0:24:50.160
<v Speaker 1>leader in the black community and for so many white

0:24:50.160 --> 0:24:52.760
<v Speaker 1>people because he did have good white people helping him.

0:24:52.880 --> 0:24:54.960
<v Speaker 1>We always have good white folks. We got some messed

0:24:55.000 --> 0:24:56.640
<v Speaker 1>up ones, but we got to mess up black people.

0:24:56.760 --> 0:24:58.040
<v Speaker 1>Let me just go down to that. We got messed

0:24:58.080 --> 0:25:00.400
<v Speaker 1>up every damn thing. Come on reading on the quote.

0:25:00.760 --> 0:25:03.440
<v Speaker 1>Um yeah, this is another quote that Flame really loves.

0:25:03.480 --> 0:25:06.639
<v Speaker 1>The quality, not the longevity of one's life is what

0:25:06.840 --> 0:25:10.320
<v Speaker 1>is important. Um So, I think there's a myriad of

0:25:10.480 --> 0:25:13.159
<v Speaker 1>quotes that we probably just really hold dear near and

0:25:13.200 --> 0:25:16.560
<v Speaker 1>dear to our hearts regarding Martin Luther King. He was

0:25:16.680 --> 0:25:19.159
<v Speaker 1>very inspirational. And I think one thing that even me

0:25:19.240 --> 0:25:21.440
<v Speaker 1>and my friends talk about nowadays is that it's kind

0:25:21.440 --> 0:25:24.439
<v Speaker 1>of unfortunate that we don't really have like that public

0:25:24.480 --> 0:25:27.879
<v Speaker 1>figure anymore. And today, like I don't, I don't feel

0:25:27.880 --> 0:25:30.040
<v Speaker 1>as though is we can say, Okay, yes, this is

0:25:30.080 --> 0:25:32.280
<v Speaker 1>like the Martin Luther King of this generation. This is

0:25:32.280 --> 0:25:35.320
<v Speaker 1>the one who's going to lead the movement. But they

0:25:35.359 --> 0:25:37.680
<v Speaker 1>just happen to be female. We got to mcmalory, we

0:25:37.840 --> 0:25:42.440
<v Speaker 1>have um Stacy Abrams. We even commaa let me tell

0:25:42.440 --> 0:25:44.320
<v Speaker 1>you something, And y'all know, I had my discripinities with

0:25:44.359 --> 0:25:47.200
<v Speaker 1>common when she's running for president. But Kamla is sharp,

0:25:47.480 --> 0:25:52.400
<v Speaker 1>she's smart, she's quick, she's incipfle, she's educated. So she's

0:25:52.400 --> 0:25:54.920
<v Speaker 1>gonna bring and she's not afraid to say how she feels.

0:25:55.200 --> 0:25:57.040
<v Speaker 1>I know. But I don't know if I agree with that,

0:25:57.080 --> 0:25:58.679
<v Speaker 1>because I was kind of like, you know, when Barack

0:25:58.680 --> 0:26:01.520
<v Speaker 1>Obama was president. Everybody after he got out office, everybody

0:26:01.600 --> 0:26:03.399
<v Speaker 1>was like, oh, he's gonna lead, you know, lead us

0:26:03.400 --> 0:26:05.520
<v Speaker 1>to the Promised Land kind of thing, and I just

0:26:05.560 --> 0:26:08.120
<v Speaker 1>didn't see that being his role, you know what I mean.

0:26:08.240 --> 0:26:10.920
<v Speaker 1>So I in my opinion. You know, we always will

0:26:10.920 --> 0:26:12.879
<v Speaker 1>differ with opinions. I just don't think we have that

0:26:12.920 --> 0:26:15.119
<v Speaker 1>person yet. Tamiko Mallory. You know, she was just started

0:26:15.119 --> 0:26:17.199
<v Speaker 1>getting some notoriety about a year or two ago, so

0:26:17.480 --> 0:26:19.200
<v Speaker 1>I would always be curious to see what she has

0:26:19.240 --> 0:26:21.040
<v Speaker 1>to you know, what she's gonna end up doing. But

0:26:21.320 --> 0:26:23.359
<v Speaker 1>as of now, I don't think we have that one

0:26:23.440 --> 0:26:26.280
<v Speaker 1>person or even two people leading this charge for us.

0:26:26.400 --> 0:26:33.119
<v Speaker 1>I don't feel that No, no, he's intelligent, but no,

0:26:34.080 --> 0:26:36.520
<v Speaker 1>our flamemts are sounded off and one and just said

0:26:36.560 --> 0:26:39.080
<v Speaker 1>that one of the favorite quotes is how we must

0:26:39.160 --> 0:26:42.560
<v Speaker 1>learn to live as brothers or perish as fools. Um,

0:26:42.720 --> 0:26:44.919
<v Speaker 1>and I just think that we have been flooded in

0:26:44.960 --> 0:26:46.680
<v Speaker 1>the timeline with a couple of them. Even as we've

0:26:46.680 --> 0:26:48.959
<v Speaker 1>been speaking that people have been sharing some of their

0:26:49.000 --> 0:26:51.359
<v Speaker 1>own And I know you and Flame, they are typing

0:26:51.400 --> 0:26:54.600
<v Speaker 1>in capital letters for you, so so people they know

0:26:54.800 --> 0:26:56.280
<v Speaker 1>definitely sound up. I think it means a lot to

0:26:56.280 --> 0:26:58.000
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people. We're gonna bring some people in.

0:26:58.200 --> 0:27:00.239
<v Speaker 1>Are we gonna be able to bring you back? Oh?

0:27:00.280 --> 0:27:01.439
<v Speaker 1>You can bring me back if you want to have

0:27:01.440 --> 0:27:04.000
<v Speaker 1>people sound Can I bring you back when you come back?

0:27:06.000 --> 0:27:09.080
<v Speaker 1>With your prejudice, Mr Mr Smith to be in the

0:27:09.119 --> 0:27:12.320
<v Speaker 1>room with two beautiful women. Absolutely, then I paid him

0:27:12.320 --> 0:27:35.000
<v Speaker 1>to say that, Hey, James, how's it going good? How

0:27:35.040 --> 0:27:41.840
<v Speaker 1>are you um alive? That's right because you're in d C.

0:27:42.040 --> 0:27:44.040
<v Speaker 1>You're right there where all the foodig is you okay?

0:27:44.080 --> 0:27:46.879
<v Speaker 1>You say yeah, yeah yeah. The way they've got it

0:27:46.960 --> 0:27:49.000
<v Speaker 1>set up right now is that you've got the red zone,

0:27:49.359 --> 0:27:53.560
<v Speaker 1>which is military personnel inauguration personnel only, and then the

0:27:53.600 --> 0:27:56.640
<v Speaker 1>Green zone, which is actually where I live, where it's

0:27:56.720 --> 0:28:02.240
<v Speaker 1>restricted to no vehicle traffic at starting since o'clock tomorrow morning,

0:28:02.320 --> 0:28:04.720
<v Speaker 1>so I won't be able to drive anywhere. So if

0:28:04.760 --> 0:28:07.480
<v Speaker 1>I have to get anywhere my buds are walking, well,

0:28:07.720 --> 0:28:10.000
<v Speaker 1>well maybe it could you speak to how things are

0:28:10.040 --> 0:28:12.480
<v Speaker 1>different today, Like I know here in l A we

0:28:12.600 --> 0:28:15.800
<v Speaker 1>normally have, you know, the King Day parade. Everybody's out,

0:28:15.960 --> 0:28:19.440
<v Speaker 1>it's really festive. It's just it's a cultural and amazing

0:28:19.440 --> 0:28:22.000
<v Speaker 1>space to be in. So and of course COVID is

0:28:22.040 --> 0:28:24.200
<v Speaker 1>happening this year, so it's you know, not taking place.

0:28:24.680 --> 0:28:28.280
<v Speaker 1>But what's the different feeling not only for King Day

0:28:28.320 --> 0:28:30.480
<v Speaker 1>but also with all of the craziness that's happening in

0:28:30.560 --> 0:28:33.440
<v Speaker 1>d C. I mean typically d C, because I mean

0:28:34.480 --> 0:28:36.800
<v Speaker 1>MLK beyond a lot of things. Was it is a

0:28:36.840 --> 0:28:40.520
<v Speaker 1>cultural icon, you would have a lot of things celebrating

0:28:40.600 --> 0:28:44.160
<v Speaker 1>him today, where you don't have that right now, there

0:28:44.200 --> 0:28:48.600
<v Speaker 1>really are no permitted activities in terms of like gatherings

0:28:48.640 --> 0:28:50.560
<v Speaker 1>or anything like that. You have no indoor dyeting, and

0:28:50.600 --> 0:28:53.800
<v Speaker 1>you have nothing indoors that can occur, which would typically

0:28:53.800 --> 0:28:56.400
<v Speaker 1>be the things like all the museums in the area

0:28:56.680 --> 0:29:00.040
<v Speaker 1>are closed, all the restaurant's interiors are closed, all the

0:29:00.120 --> 0:29:05.000
<v Speaker 1>libraries are closed. So right now there's unless you're trying

0:29:05.040 --> 0:29:08.200
<v Speaker 1>to do something in thirty degree weather, that's you're really

0:29:08.240 --> 0:29:10.120
<v Speaker 1>limited to what you can do. And even then you're

0:29:10.160 --> 0:29:12.680
<v Speaker 1>limited to less than a hundred people in your gathering.

0:29:13.560 --> 0:29:15.480
<v Speaker 1>And it's you can't be any when the National Mall

0:29:15.600 --> 0:29:18.160
<v Speaker 1>is completely under lockdown. So any of the places that

0:29:18.200 --> 0:29:21.640
<v Speaker 1>which traditionally have these things, even the mart Luis King

0:29:21.680 --> 0:29:26.520
<v Speaker 1>Memorial are all shut down because of paranoia of violence

0:29:26.560 --> 0:29:29.480
<v Speaker 1>occurring over the next few days. What's your favorite quote,

0:29:29.520 --> 0:29:33.400
<v Speaker 1>James actually Nicks. That was my quote that Nick read

0:29:33.560 --> 0:29:36.000
<v Speaker 1>was the Yeah, that was the one I proposed that

0:29:36.120 --> 0:29:38.400
<v Speaker 1>we must learn to live as brothers or parishes, schools,

0:29:38.480 --> 0:29:43.520
<v Speaker 1>I think for me it's really important because I, as

0:29:43.600 --> 0:29:46.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, I embrace diversity and everyone, and I think

0:29:46.280 --> 0:29:48.320
<v Speaker 1>it's important that we do that as a culture and

0:29:48.320 --> 0:29:51.000
<v Speaker 1>that's the only way we would be able to move forward.

0:29:51.920 --> 0:29:54.240
<v Speaker 1>So James explained to you in the very beginning that

0:29:54.320 --> 0:29:57.320
<v Speaker 1>he is, you know, he's down with the brothers and everything.

0:29:57.440 --> 0:29:59.680
<v Speaker 1>He's also down with the sisters because James likes him.

0:29:59.680 --> 0:30:02.960
<v Speaker 1>A black James is with the black James is with

0:30:03.040 --> 0:30:09.600
<v Speaker 1>the world. Know that is true. Yes, for sharing all

0:30:09.600 --> 0:30:12.760
<v Speaker 1>my business, Yes, And he left the head of down

0:30:12.800 --> 0:30:14.320
<v Speaker 1>for you. He did that for the black girl because

0:30:14.320 --> 0:30:16.000
<v Speaker 1>I know you're black women like all that, and you'll

0:30:16.000 --> 0:30:20.600
<v Speaker 1>be thinking that's Juana from uh you know what. Yeah,

0:30:21.680 --> 0:30:27.320
<v Speaker 1>you know Jason Luana with all the Hey, James, I

0:30:27.400 --> 0:30:30.600
<v Speaker 1>want you to stay safe. And it's too calm, you know,

0:30:30.680 --> 0:30:32.520
<v Speaker 1>it's like that calm before. It seems like it's just

0:30:32.600 --> 0:30:37.040
<v Speaker 1>a little too quiet before Wednesday. Yeah, I get like,

0:30:37.880 --> 0:30:40.360
<v Speaker 1>I really think that if if anything is going to happen,

0:30:40.680 --> 0:30:43.280
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna be on Wednesday where some stupidity is gonna

0:30:43.280 --> 0:30:47.760
<v Speaker 1>break out. My hope is is that between the National

0:30:47.800 --> 0:30:50.640
<v Speaker 1>guardsmen they expect now the Coast Guard just arrived in

0:30:50.760 --> 0:30:56.720
<v Speaker 1>the on the waterfront, and you're we're expecting police officers

0:30:56.760 --> 0:31:01.520
<v Speaker 1>for other states in between ten and fifteen thousand Secret

0:31:01.520 --> 0:31:06.000
<v Speaker 1>Service thank you, So they're expecting tender fifteen thousand members

0:31:06.000 --> 0:31:09.000
<v Speaker 1>of the Secret Service to be in town also. So

0:31:09.120 --> 0:31:12.080
<v Speaker 1>the discrepancy that the disagreement that we had this morning,

0:31:12.160 --> 0:31:14.160
<v Speaker 1>Nick and I was and I talked to it about

0:31:14.160 --> 0:31:16.560
<v Speaker 1>to Kendall and Triple, who the producer and of the

0:31:16.800 --> 0:31:21.400
<v Speaker 1>photographer here the videographer, was that because they Nick was like,

0:31:21.440 --> 0:31:25.320
<v Speaker 1>they're quiet because they're afraid because of the National Guard

0:31:25.360 --> 0:31:27.520
<v Speaker 1>and the army. And when I was like, uh No,

0:31:27.560 --> 0:31:29.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't think that's what the case is at all,

0:31:29.280 --> 0:31:33.360
<v Speaker 1>because they've shown that they have restraint of the military.

0:31:33.360 --> 0:31:35.120
<v Speaker 1>And I'm only throwing out a number. Let me don't

0:31:35.120 --> 0:31:36.959
<v Speaker 1>say a number for real, but there's a lot of

0:31:37.000 --> 0:31:40.480
<v Speaker 1>them that's in uniform that should be on the other side.

0:31:40.520 --> 0:31:42.440
<v Speaker 1>And if they weren't in the uniform, they would be

0:31:42.480 --> 0:31:44.480
<v Speaker 1>on the other side. They're not going to hurt themselves.

0:31:44.560 --> 0:31:46.200
<v Speaker 1>They're not going to kill those people. They're not gonna

0:31:46.240 --> 0:31:48.280
<v Speaker 1>hurt those people. I don't believe that at all. I

0:31:48.320 --> 0:31:51.120
<v Speaker 1>think they see themselves because they are those people they

0:31:51.200 --> 0:31:53.560
<v Speaker 1>just happen to have on their whatever uniform they're wearing

0:31:53.640 --> 0:31:55.920
<v Speaker 1>that day. I don't believe they're gonna hurt because it

0:31:55.960 --> 0:31:58.080
<v Speaker 1>had that been a bunch of us, it would have

0:31:58.120 --> 0:32:01.120
<v Speaker 1>been a massacre. And I agree with you totally. Well,

0:32:01.240 --> 0:32:05.480
<v Speaker 1>thank you, James. I appreciate you. Yes, please, thank you.

0:32:05.600 --> 0:32:07.840
<v Speaker 1>And the next time I see I'll see you. What

0:32:07.960 --> 0:32:14.280
<v Speaker 1>a black girl? The name enough? But I think this

0:32:14.320 --> 0:32:16.600
<v Speaker 1>maybe is a good talking point because I'm seeing some

0:32:16.640 --> 0:32:18.640
<v Speaker 1>people sound off in the comments about what you just

0:32:18.640 --> 0:32:21.080
<v Speaker 1>talked about in terms of the military. So why don't

0:32:21.080 --> 0:32:23.200
<v Speaker 1>we bring Nick back in. We can kind of start

0:32:23.240 --> 0:32:25.720
<v Speaker 1>this typic a little bit, because you know, Nick is

0:32:25.800 --> 0:32:30.520
<v Speaker 1>super pro military military. I'm with the military too. But

0:32:30.600 --> 0:32:32.840
<v Speaker 1>I tell you what, let's kind of see, let's have this.

0:32:33.320 --> 0:32:35.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm on that other side, baby that I ain't trusted.

0:32:35.840 --> 0:32:37.560
<v Speaker 1>You said they had, didn't they have a general or

0:32:37.800 --> 0:32:40.280
<v Speaker 1>colonel or something out there? Come on waiting, Nick, Come on, Nick,

0:32:40.360 --> 0:32:44.200
<v Speaker 1>let's share your thoughts. Oh No, I don't want to.

0:32:44.600 --> 0:32:46.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to. I don't want to make it

0:32:46.520 --> 0:32:50.120
<v Speaker 1>sound like I don't believe that things are definitely dangerous,

0:32:50.120 --> 0:32:52.640
<v Speaker 1>because I definitely believe that they are. I just don't

0:32:52.640 --> 0:32:55.520
<v Speaker 1>believe that anything will happen in the next couple of days.

0:32:55.560 --> 0:32:57.880
<v Speaker 1>I believe that the message is clear that there has

0:32:57.920 --> 0:33:00.400
<v Speaker 1>been a strong short of force, and I do believe

0:33:00.680 --> 0:33:03.360
<v Speaker 1>um in the strength of our military. And I know

0:33:03.440 --> 0:33:05.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm moving a space of bias with that, but I

0:33:05.280 --> 0:33:07.760
<v Speaker 1>genuinely believe that most of most of us who have

0:33:07.800 --> 0:33:10.680
<v Speaker 1>taken the oath really do uphold the oath, and that

0:33:10.840 --> 0:33:15.320
<v Speaker 1>is to protect the Constitution against enemies, both foreign and domestic.

0:33:15.560 --> 0:33:19.040
<v Speaker 1>And I don't believe that there are um a cadre

0:33:19.240 --> 0:33:23.800
<v Speaker 1>of lone wolves ready to move an attack which constitution.

0:33:26.680 --> 0:33:29.320
<v Speaker 1>They're different in the same one that protects us flames seriously,

0:33:29.360 --> 0:33:32.440
<v Speaker 1>that one has not protected has protected us. I think

0:33:32.480 --> 0:33:35.600
<v Speaker 1>that there are, but we gotta go fight on TV

0:33:35.680 --> 0:33:38.520
<v Speaker 1>on camera. But I because I know you pro military,

0:33:38.560 --> 0:33:41.000
<v Speaker 1>and I love you for that, brother, But I'm telling you, Nick,

0:33:41.480 --> 0:33:43.720
<v Speaker 1>that's not what it is. And I know I just

0:33:43.800 --> 0:33:45.480
<v Speaker 1>told you this in the car. I think Nick lives

0:33:45.480 --> 0:33:47.360
<v Speaker 1>in the world with rose colored glass, he said, I

0:33:47.400 --> 0:33:49.680
<v Speaker 1>do not. I think that you see what you want

0:33:49.760 --> 0:33:51.800
<v Speaker 1>things to be. And I understand that because there are

0:33:51.800 --> 0:33:53.320
<v Speaker 1>things that I see that I wanted to be. But

0:33:53.400 --> 0:33:56.960
<v Speaker 1>what it is is what it is. Well, while ask

0:33:57.040 --> 0:33:59.600
<v Speaker 1>this because Nick, you talk about the Constitution, I mean,

0:33:59.680 --> 0:34:02.160
<v Speaker 1>you do understand when the Constitution was written, it was

0:34:02.200 --> 0:34:05.080
<v Speaker 1>not black people of color. I'll just say that we're

0:34:05.080 --> 0:34:08.480
<v Speaker 1>not included when that was written. We were third. That

0:34:08.600 --> 0:34:12.360
<v Speaker 1>came after the constitutions. That came after that was the ratification. Yeah,

0:34:12.400 --> 0:34:17.080
<v Speaker 1>but absolutely. But I also understand that the Constitution, also, Lauren,

0:34:17.160 --> 0:34:20.400
<v Speaker 1>is a living, breathing document. The idea is it also

0:34:20.480 --> 0:34:23.879
<v Speaker 1>didn't anticipate that there would be fifty states, right, um,

0:34:23.960 --> 0:34:26.440
<v Speaker 1>And like everything else, we grow and we learn. I

0:34:26.480 --> 0:34:29.040
<v Speaker 1>definitely believe also that the Constitution did not mean to

0:34:29.120 --> 0:34:32.360
<v Speaker 1>exclude women. So and I also believe that the Constitution

0:34:32.400 --> 0:34:34.960
<v Speaker 1>did not ever see a world where a woman would

0:34:35.000 --> 0:34:37.880
<v Speaker 1>possibly ascend to the second highest office in the land.

0:34:38.480 --> 0:34:41.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't think that what we can do is move

0:34:41.040 --> 0:34:45.600
<v Speaker 1>into space where um, we don't believe, and move in

0:34:45.640 --> 0:34:47.560
<v Speaker 1>a way and operate in a way that we know

0:34:47.880 --> 0:34:50.279
<v Speaker 1>we belong. And I believe that there are men and

0:34:50.320 --> 0:34:52.960
<v Speaker 1>women who served this country because they too believe in

0:34:53.000 --> 0:34:56.840
<v Speaker 1>this country and its promise. I among them, Um, But

0:34:56.960 --> 0:34:58.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm not one of those who are out there today.

0:34:58.960 --> 0:35:01.320
<v Speaker 1>But I do believe that are good men and women,

0:35:01.400 --> 0:35:03.719
<v Speaker 1>many of whom are seventeen eighteen leaving home for the

0:35:03.719 --> 0:35:06.160
<v Speaker 1>first time, who really do believe in the promise of

0:35:06.160 --> 0:35:08.280
<v Speaker 1>this country and what it has to offer for people

0:35:08.320 --> 0:35:12.360
<v Speaker 1>like like me, like all of us. Yell, not everybody,

0:35:12.360 --> 0:35:16.239
<v Speaker 1>everybody else. But that is a great quality quantity of

0:35:16.320 --> 0:35:18.560
<v Speaker 1>people that are racist in the military. And they just

0:35:18.600 --> 0:35:20.759
<v Speaker 1>take their uniforms off. They still go home to the

0:35:20.880 --> 0:35:23.240
<v Speaker 1>to who they are. You can't leave you back putting

0:35:23.239 --> 0:35:25.440
<v Speaker 1>on the uniform. When I take this dress off, Marcus

0:35:25.480 --> 0:35:27.840
<v Speaker 1>Park is still up under here. And I think that

0:35:27.880 --> 0:35:29.640
<v Speaker 1>there are a great number of people who are racist

0:35:29.840 --> 0:35:32.680
<v Speaker 1>who happened to also possibly be in the military. I

0:35:32.680 --> 0:35:35.239
<v Speaker 1>think that what we can do is say that the

0:35:35.320 --> 0:35:38.440
<v Speaker 1>races the military somehow attracts racists or something. And I

0:35:38.440 --> 0:35:40.960
<v Speaker 1>guess that's where I'm just trying to somewhere else. You're

0:35:40.960 --> 0:35:43.839
<v Speaker 1>taking it somewhere. Okay, come back, you were making you're

0:35:43.880 --> 0:35:46.440
<v Speaker 1>making it sound like people in military racist every I

0:35:46.480 --> 0:35:49.640
<v Speaker 1>didn't say everyone. I said there's a good quality quantity.

0:35:49.760 --> 0:35:52.719
<v Speaker 1>What does that mean? What does good quantity mean? None

0:35:52.760 --> 0:35:55.560
<v Speaker 1>of them that if they're not going to kill white people,

0:35:55.560 --> 0:35:58.160
<v Speaker 1>and the white people that racist, the protesters that came

0:35:58.239 --> 0:36:00.720
<v Speaker 1>last week. I'm not afraid of the military, Harry, because

0:36:00.719 --> 0:36:03.319
<v Speaker 1>they don't have to be. See, that's not us. This

0:36:03.400 --> 0:36:05.479
<v Speaker 1>is what you missing. They don't have to be. They've

0:36:05.480 --> 0:36:08.040
<v Speaker 1>never been in a position and showed last week when

0:36:08.040 --> 0:36:10.680
<v Speaker 1>the police and all the all the law enforcement in

0:36:10.719 --> 0:36:12.919
<v Speaker 1>his country, when they shot Jacob Blake and his gat

0:36:13.000 --> 0:36:15.400
<v Speaker 1>down back seven times and he said he wasn't meaning

0:36:15.440 --> 0:36:17.879
<v Speaker 1>to kill him, Well, what else was you meaning to do?

0:36:18.040 --> 0:36:20.600
<v Speaker 1>He was unarmed walking away. But here is all this

0:36:20.840 --> 0:36:24.280
<v Speaker 1>verrager white people. Nobody had guns out. They had their poles,

0:36:24.320 --> 0:36:26.680
<v Speaker 1>they had their flags, they had their pain on their face.

0:36:27.000 --> 0:36:30.600
<v Speaker 1>Y'all had milled y'all had guns, battalions, you had shields.

0:36:30.880 --> 0:36:34.200
<v Speaker 1>Nobody ever attacked them, Nobody rushed them. In fact, they

0:36:34.280 --> 0:36:37.240
<v Speaker 1>ran from them, or took pictures with them, or opened

0:36:37.239 --> 0:36:39.120
<v Speaker 1>the door like they were giving them the key to

0:36:39.160 --> 0:36:41.799
<v Speaker 1>the city. I don't want you to think that I'm

0:36:41.840 --> 0:36:44.759
<v Speaker 1>attacking the military. I also don't want you to think

0:36:44.880 --> 0:36:47.440
<v Speaker 1>that they are completely innocent of this. That was an

0:36:47.440 --> 0:36:51.160
<v Speaker 1>inside job. Nobody knew what Nancy Pelosi's office was because

0:36:51.200 --> 0:36:54.520
<v Speaker 1>that place is like a fucking cavern. That was inside job.

0:36:54.600 --> 0:36:56.279
<v Speaker 1>And when they get through, they can be mad at me.

0:36:56.400 --> 0:36:58.680
<v Speaker 1>You know, I don't give two funks because guess what

0:36:58.760 --> 0:37:01.719
<v Speaker 1>I got paid already Antie who And I'm gonna just

0:37:01.760 --> 0:37:04.960
<v Speaker 1>say this to uh. You know, the military was not

0:37:05.120 --> 0:37:07.560
<v Speaker 1>established to protect people of color, like we just we

0:37:07.640 --> 0:37:08.920
<v Speaker 1>just got to say it is what it is that

0:37:09.040 --> 0:37:12.080
<v Speaker 1>they just weren't. It just wasn't ingrained in their foundations.

0:37:12.120 --> 0:37:16.680
<v Speaker 1>So it's not it wasn't surprising for me to see

0:37:16.680 --> 0:37:19.440
<v Speaker 1>what took place because that's not what was taught to

0:37:19.560 --> 0:37:22.640
<v Speaker 1>them when that establishment was created, or that body of government,

0:37:22.640 --> 0:37:25.280
<v Speaker 1>whatever you want to call them, was established. It just wasn't.

0:37:25.440 --> 0:37:27.640
<v Speaker 1>And it's no shade. I know that you're a veteran

0:37:27.640 --> 0:37:29.880
<v Speaker 1>and I appreciate everything that you did for this country,

0:37:30.239 --> 0:37:32.439
<v Speaker 1>but you were one of the anomalies. You really are,

0:37:32.560 --> 0:37:39.440
<v Speaker 1>and everybody is not like that. But but but yeah,

0:37:40.320 --> 0:37:42.760
<v Speaker 1>back to the military. Let's go back to the military

0:37:42.880 --> 0:37:45.200
<v Speaker 1>was only created and allowed black people to come in

0:37:45.280 --> 0:37:47.120
<v Speaker 1>because they were putting us on the front land to

0:37:47.200 --> 0:37:49.879
<v Speaker 1>die first. They were told way back in the day,

0:37:50.040 --> 0:37:52.120
<v Speaker 1>you can't even kill a white person, even if they

0:37:52.160 --> 0:37:55.759
<v Speaker 1>are on the other side. So I understand that we

0:37:55.880 --> 0:37:58.920
<v Speaker 1>have been collateral damage a long time, long, long time.

0:37:59.040 --> 0:38:00.959
<v Speaker 1>I'm not throwing me a cheery up under the bus,

0:38:01.080 --> 0:38:04.640
<v Speaker 1>but there are races on both sides, and that would

0:38:04.640 --> 0:38:08.479
<v Speaker 1>have that would have definitely been a bus. If you're

0:38:08.520 --> 0:38:11.879
<v Speaker 1>saying that it was created and who were collateral? Dadmta,

0:38:12.080 --> 0:38:14.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure what else what would call that, But

0:38:14.719 --> 0:38:16.879
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't. I wasn't revoking on that. I'm saying, it's

0:38:16.880 --> 0:38:19.400
<v Speaker 1>not all bad military. Now. We were created so we

0:38:19.400 --> 0:38:21.920
<v Speaker 1>could be on the front lines because their soldiers were dying.

0:38:22.440 --> 0:38:24.440
<v Speaker 1>They were dying. But even with us having gone and

0:38:24.440 --> 0:38:26.799
<v Speaker 1>them shooting at us, we were not allowed to kill

0:38:26.800 --> 0:38:28.759
<v Speaker 1>the white person, even if they were on the opposite side.

0:38:28.800 --> 0:38:31.240
<v Speaker 1>So when they had the Civil War in the very beginning,

0:38:31.400 --> 0:38:34.239
<v Speaker 1>the black people that were soldiers and the military were

0:38:34.280 --> 0:38:37.440
<v Speaker 1>not They were allowed to stand there as barricades, but

0:38:37.520 --> 0:38:40.920
<v Speaker 1>they couldn't kill the opposition even because they were white. Oh,

0:38:40.960 --> 0:38:44.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm ready. I'm read about it, you know, I read sometimes. Yeah,

0:38:44.320 --> 0:38:46.759
<v Speaker 1>it's it's but it's across all things. It's the military,

0:38:47.000 --> 0:38:49.239
<v Speaker 1>you know. I even have conversations with my dad about

0:38:49.280 --> 0:38:52.640
<v Speaker 1>the fire department, in the police department. There's always a

0:38:52.640 --> 0:38:56.799
<v Speaker 1>subliminal um just kind of foundation and it's so sad

0:38:56.880 --> 0:38:59.879
<v Speaker 1>to say of just racism that's built in these institutions

0:39:00.200 --> 0:39:05.280
<v Speaker 1>and like those unions are different animal entirely. Yeah, okay,

0:39:05.360 --> 0:39:07.520
<v Speaker 1>but I mean I say that to say that there's

0:39:07.640 --> 0:39:11.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, there's social media groups of just these they're

0:39:11.040 --> 0:39:14.800
<v Speaker 1>really just these races that are within these you know, bodies.

0:39:15.080 --> 0:39:17.440
<v Speaker 1>And we even saw it with you know, the different

0:39:17.920 --> 0:39:20.879
<v Speaker 1>uprisings that happened on the six even the capitol here

0:39:20.880 --> 0:39:23.719
<v Speaker 1>in Sacramento. You know, there were four retired l A

0:39:23.840 --> 0:39:27.440
<v Speaker 1>f D. You know, firemen that were there, sure supporting Trump.

0:39:27.480 --> 0:39:29.600
<v Speaker 1>So I'm just saying there's we I just feel like

0:39:29.600 --> 0:39:32.520
<v Speaker 1>we can't just say like, oh no it's it's military

0:39:32.560 --> 0:39:34.960
<v Speaker 1>is not bad, or oh this group isn't bad. We

0:39:35.000 --> 0:39:36.600
<v Speaker 1>have you guys have a lot of bad apples. You

0:39:36.640 --> 0:39:38.400
<v Speaker 1>really just do, because that's how you guys were founded.

0:39:38.640 --> 0:39:40.759
<v Speaker 1>It just is what it is. I guess what I

0:39:40.760 --> 0:39:43.279
<v Speaker 1>wanted to make sure I was clear on is that

0:39:43.680 --> 0:39:45.799
<v Speaker 1>not only will there not be an incident this week,

0:39:45.880 --> 0:39:47.439
<v Speaker 1>I just want to make sure we're clear there will

0:39:47.480 --> 0:39:50.840
<v Speaker 1>not be an incident, and I definitely believe it. I

0:39:50.840 --> 0:39:53.359
<v Speaker 1>believe in this string. I don't move into space where

0:39:53.400 --> 0:39:55.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't have faith in our institution. I genuine believe

0:39:55.960 --> 0:39:58.120
<v Speaker 1>democracy prevails, and I genuinely believe the men and women

0:39:58.120 --> 0:40:00.400
<v Speaker 1>of the military and those who are who have been

0:40:00.440 --> 0:40:04.600
<v Speaker 1>enacted to protect President elect Joe Biden and President Vice

0:40:04.600 --> 0:40:07.600
<v Speaker 1>President elet Kamala Harris will keep them safe. I just

0:40:07.640 --> 0:40:10.839
<v Speaker 1>believe that, and I'm I'm not I'm not negating. I'm

0:40:10.880 --> 0:40:13.719
<v Speaker 1>not negating the dark cloud you all bring. I'm just

0:40:13.719 --> 0:40:16.560
<v Speaker 1>saying that I do believe in the in the power

0:40:16.560 --> 0:40:20.359
<v Speaker 1>of the institute. You know, if something goes down, come

0:40:20.360 --> 0:40:23.319
<v Speaker 1>here next week and blaze your oh, I'm sure, and

0:40:24.080 --> 0:40:25.520
<v Speaker 1>it will be the same ones who told me that

0:40:25.560 --> 0:40:31.640
<v Speaker 1>I should be washing chicken before I cooking, and this

0:40:31.680 --> 0:40:35.480
<v Speaker 1>week he showed the meat. So it's just I just

0:40:35.560 --> 0:40:38.200
<v Speaker 1>believe that they've got this covered. I don't believe this

0:40:38.280 --> 0:40:40.200
<v Speaker 1>is one where you mess it up. I really don't.

0:40:40.480 --> 0:40:43.400
<v Speaker 1>But we will see, right. I just want to know

0:40:43.440 --> 0:40:45.759
<v Speaker 1>where you live, when you live. I'm just saying, you're

0:40:45.800 --> 0:40:49.040
<v Speaker 1>saying nothing's gonna happen, but there's already instances of things happening,

0:40:49.160 --> 0:40:52.200
<v Speaker 1>Like there's a one that showed up with firearms to

0:40:52.239 --> 0:40:53.520
<v Speaker 1>the gate, saying that she was a part of the

0:40:53.520 --> 0:40:56.120
<v Speaker 1>presidential cabinet with a fake credential trying to get in

0:40:56.360 --> 0:40:59.440
<v Speaker 1>and they haven't sent it. So exactly, this is what

0:40:59.440 --> 0:41:01.759
<v Speaker 1>I'm talking about, Lauren. This when I tell you that

0:41:02.080 --> 0:41:05.359
<v Speaker 1>UM again, and I know this is much further into

0:41:05.360 --> 0:41:07.920
<v Speaker 1>this topic than we planned on. I just think that

0:41:08.160 --> 0:41:12.120
<v Speaker 1>UM to UM dismiss the protocols and things. I think

0:41:12.160 --> 0:41:15.120
<v Speaker 1>a valuable lesson was learned last Wednesday. I really do.

0:41:15.200 --> 0:41:17.880
<v Speaker 1>But that's what they did. They did dismissed protocols last Wednesday.

0:41:17.920 --> 0:41:20.400
<v Speaker 1>That's exactly what they did. But what I'm saying, a

0:41:20.400 --> 0:41:23.840
<v Speaker 1>lot of a lot of protocols and things were missed

0:41:23.960 --> 0:41:26.879
<v Speaker 1>last Wednesday. That will not be the case this week.

0:41:26.960 --> 0:41:30.040
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely not, Absolutely not. There's no doubt because you think

0:41:30.040 --> 0:41:33.400
<v Speaker 1>it's too many ads on it. Oh. I also believe

0:41:33.480 --> 0:41:35.719
<v Speaker 1>in the power of the institution. I genuinely believe there

0:41:35.719 --> 0:41:37.040
<v Speaker 1>are a lot of people, there are a lot of

0:41:37.040 --> 0:41:40.560
<v Speaker 1>good people who are involved in bad institutions and bad

0:41:40.560 --> 0:41:42.120
<v Speaker 1>groups to say, you know what, this is not who

0:41:42.120 --> 0:41:47.239
<v Speaker 1>we are. I genuinely believe a number of people were embarrassed, mortified, horrified,

0:41:47.360 --> 0:41:50.480
<v Speaker 1>disgusted by what they saw last Wednesday. And that's what

0:41:51.520 --> 0:41:54.960
<v Speaker 1>those people that were embarrassed were at home because the

0:41:55.000 --> 0:41:59.239
<v Speaker 1>people who was not embarrassed was at the Capitol. There

0:41:59.239 --> 0:42:00.879
<v Speaker 1>were a lot of people there with their families, flam

0:42:00.920 --> 0:42:04.200
<v Speaker 1>who were very upset and frightened and and really thought

0:42:04.239 --> 0:42:07.480
<v Speaker 1>that they their lives what they really fear for their

0:42:07.520 --> 0:42:09.840
<v Speaker 1>lives last Wednesday, um. There have been a lot of

0:42:09.920 --> 0:42:12.920
<v Speaker 1>lawmakers who have spoken up saying, whoa what just happened?

0:42:12.920 --> 0:42:16.520
<v Speaker 1>I was not expecting this when we're hearing guns las

0:42:16.600 --> 0:42:19.680
<v Speaker 1>because they got the call from the top to to

0:42:19.800 --> 0:42:22.560
<v Speaker 1>march on Washington. Do whatever you needed to do to

0:42:22.600 --> 0:42:25.320
<v Speaker 1>be forcefule, so you take your children out there. Racism

0:42:25.360 --> 0:42:27.160
<v Speaker 1>is a learned behavior. I don't give I don't have

0:42:27.200 --> 0:42:28.719
<v Speaker 1>no sympathy for the people who was out there with

0:42:28.760 --> 0:42:32.000
<v Speaker 1>their children. You taught your children to hate. You taught

0:42:32.040 --> 0:42:35.239
<v Speaker 1>your children to hurt people because they didn't look like you,

0:42:35.560 --> 0:42:38.640
<v Speaker 1>or they didn't move like you. You taught your children

0:42:38.680 --> 0:42:41.080
<v Speaker 1>to hate. Say what you want to because they keep

0:42:41.080 --> 0:42:44.520
<v Speaker 1>trying to say Racism and and mental illness is the

0:42:44.560 --> 0:42:47.120
<v Speaker 1>same ship. Mental illness you could be born with or

0:42:47.160 --> 0:42:50.200
<v Speaker 1>you can take the wrong vaccine. Huh huh. Hate is

0:42:50.239 --> 0:42:54.040
<v Speaker 1>a learned behavior that you learned from whoever raised you

0:42:54.160 --> 0:42:56.560
<v Speaker 1>or whoever you're around, So don't don't give me that

0:42:56.560 --> 0:42:58.839
<v Speaker 1>they had their children out there. What were they trying

0:42:58.840 --> 0:43:01.759
<v Speaker 1>to show? They were that was treason. You were attacking

0:43:01.840 --> 0:43:04.839
<v Speaker 1>your own government and country. They were going to kill

0:43:05.000 --> 0:43:07.759
<v Speaker 1>Nancy Pelosi and Cortez if they could have got a

0:43:07.760 --> 0:43:12.880
<v Speaker 1>hold of them. They they were going to make pens

0:43:13.000 --> 0:43:16.080
<v Speaker 1>like them. I mean lawmakers who were there to certify

0:43:16.160 --> 0:43:18.520
<v Speaker 1>the vote had family members there and they're like, WHOA,

0:43:18.520 --> 0:43:20.120
<v Speaker 1>what is happening there? On both sides of the I

0:43:20.239 --> 0:43:22.520
<v Speaker 1>who were just horrified by what happened. And I do

0:43:22.560 --> 0:43:24.160
<v Speaker 1>think that there may have been those who were there

0:43:24.200 --> 0:43:27.120
<v Speaker 1>to demonstrate who did not know things were going to

0:43:27.239 --> 0:43:30.359
<v Speaker 1>go that far. I do believe that there are flame

0:43:30.440 --> 0:43:33.440
<v Speaker 1>I do believe that there are decent people who, let

0:43:33.440 --> 0:43:35.600
<v Speaker 1>me tell you something, you've been smoking that ship because

0:43:35.719 --> 0:43:38.720
<v Speaker 1>they were told too much on the Capitol by Trump

0:43:39.120 --> 0:43:41.239
<v Speaker 1>and they were told I don't know the exact words

0:43:41.280 --> 0:43:44.080
<v Speaker 1>that he said, but whatever it was, we gotta fight

0:43:44.200 --> 0:43:46.520
<v Speaker 1>or something. It was something to that capacity where they

0:43:46.520 --> 0:43:50.279
<v Speaker 1>were going with anger and with rage to fight. I'm

0:43:50.320 --> 0:43:52.200
<v Speaker 1>not bad what they were selling. So I don't feel

0:43:52.200 --> 0:43:53.799
<v Speaker 1>sorry for none of them. They shouldn't have had their

0:43:53.840 --> 0:43:55.719
<v Speaker 1>dumbasds out there. I'm at them for climbing the walls

0:43:55.719 --> 0:43:59.480
<v Speaker 1>with those what they thought they were or Mario that

0:43:59.480 --> 0:44:02.600
<v Speaker 1>that was a funny. Mean, this is the perfect time

0:44:02.600 --> 0:44:04.480
<v Speaker 1>and segue into Jacob Blake because we did say that

0:44:04.520 --> 0:44:06.880
<v Speaker 1>we wanted to touch on this there, because I do

0:44:06.920 --> 0:44:09.239
<v Speaker 1>feel like that deserves a little more fleshing out there

0:44:09.360 --> 0:44:12.920
<v Speaker 1>is wait before you go there, acknowledge the black officer.

0:44:14.400 --> 0:44:17.200
<v Speaker 1>Let's let's talk about we got down the end on

0:44:17.239 --> 0:44:22.200
<v Speaker 1>the high note, but something else. But they keep skipping

0:44:22.200 --> 0:44:24.080
<v Speaker 1>over him. We don't want to skip over now. It's

0:44:24.120 --> 0:44:26.160
<v Speaker 1>kind of like they did Brianna Taylor. They kept skipping

0:44:26.160 --> 0:44:28.319
<v Speaker 1>over her. We don't want to skip over him. What

0:44:28.440 --> 0:44:31.040
<v Speaker 1>was his name, Officer Eugene Goodman. So he was a

0:44:31.040 --> 0:44:34.279
<v Speaker 1>black officer faced down, who faced down a mostly white

0:44:34.320 --> 0:44:37.240
<v Speaker 1>mob at the Capitol. More so, he almost he led

0:44:37.400 --> 0:44:39.960
<v Speaker 1>this mob away from the Senator so that way they

0:44:39.960 --> 0:44:43.080
<v Speaker 1>could all go to safety. Uh So, like you said,

0:44:43.160 --> 0:44:45.839
<v Speaker 1>we don't praise him enough, you know, because we we've

0:44:45.840 --> 0:44:47.600
<v Speaker 1>said this, if he was a white officer, he would

0:44:47.600 --> 0:44:49.479
<v Speaker 1>be getting all these accolades, he to be on the news.

0:44:49.520 --> 0:44:51.680
<v Speaker 1>More So, we want to make sure that we're honoring

0:44:51.719 --> 0:44:55.719
<v Speaker 1>this amazing black officer for risking his life to make

0:44:55.719 --> 0:44:58.120
<v Speaker 1>sure he was protecting those senators that they could get

0:44:58.120 --> 0:45:01.000
<v Speaker 1>to safety. So thank you for the fordrew his weapon,

0:45:01.480 --> 0:45:04.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, never drew his weapon. I just think that

0:45:04.200 --> 0:45:07.799
<v Speaker 1>that's amazing. He he had his side arm, never drew,

0:45:07.960 --> 0:45:11.080
<v Speaker 1>purposely pushed led them away. And again a veteran of

0:45:11.640 --> 0:45:14.640
<v Speaker 1>he served twice in iraq U, two tours in iraq Uh.

0:45:14.680 --> 0:45:17.319
<v Speaker 1>So it's just so, now that's your perfect segue to

0:45:17.320 --> 0:45:20.399
<v Speaker 1>go to Jacob because Eugene never drew his weapon. Now

0:45:20.440 --> 0:45:23.640
<v Speaker 1>they have shot Sandra Bland and so many others because

0:45:23.640 --> 0:45:25.799
<v Speaker 1>they said that their life was in peril, so they

0:45:25.800 --> 0:45:29.240
<v Speaker 1>had with no weapons. Being this was a mob after

0:45:29.280 --> 0:45:32.120
<v Speaker 1>this black man who had a weapon to shoot and

0:45:32.239 --> 0:45:36.560
<v Speaker 1>kill and contained himself so and didn't do anything. So

0:45:36.600 --> 0:45:39.279
<v Speaker 1>that goes back to the whole refund and defund or

0:45:39.400 --> 0:45:42.880
<v Speaker 1>reform and defund the police department. This man was trained

0:45:42.920 --> 0:45:45.520
<v Speaker 1>and had the mindset to say, hey, I can I

0:45:45.560 --> 0:45:47.799
<v Speaker 1>can de escalate this, I can talk this down, I

0:45:47.800 --> 0:45:50.200
<v Speaker 1>can make this work for me, which he did because

0:45:50.239 --> 0:45:54.719
<v Speaker 1>had he went on the shooting rampage he did, he'd

0:45:54.719 --> 0:45:57.680
<v Speaker 1>be in jail. He wouldn't be fired. So again with

0:45:57.719 --> 0:45:59.480
<v Speaker 1>the whole guy who shot Jacob Blake in the back

0:45:59.520 --> 0:46:01.719
<v Speaker 1>seven times because he said he wasn't trying to kill

0:46:02.080 --> 0:46:05.319
<v Speaker 1>Jacob Blake shooting him in the back, there is a

0:46:05.360 --> 0:46:08.719
<v Speaker 1>move to push Eugene Goodman for the Congressional Gold Medal,

0:46:08.840 --> 0:46:11.719
<v Speaker 1>so that is the highest, uh civilian honors. So yeah,

0:46:11.800 --> 0:46:15.440
<v Speaker 1>Jacob Blake. Uh, this one, UM, I don't even know

0:46:18.400 --> 0:46:20.560
<v Speaker 1>the long and short of it is the cop who

0:46:20.600 --> 0:46:23.880
<v Speaker 1>shot him was cleared, and I think that most people

0:46:23.880 --> 0:46:27.440
<v Speaker 1>felt like some charges would be brought in some form

0:46:27.960 --> 0:46:32.200
<v Speaker 1>um and how um you know a jury sat there

0:46:32.200 --> 0:46:34.680
<v Speaker 1>and said because it was convened before grand jury and

0:46:34.680 --> 0:46:38.320
<v Speaker 1>that or Lauren helped me, was that indeed the case

0:46:38.480 --> 0:46:41.839
<v Speaker 1>or did the d A just determined there wasn't enough

0:46:41.880 --> 0:46:44.160
<v Speaker 1>evidence to bring charges? That was on the d A.

0:46:44.320 --> 0:46:48.880
<v Speaker 1>He made that decision. So, I mean, Jacob Blake is

0:46:48.880 --> 0:46:51.280
<v Speaker 1>is one example. You know, we talked about Brianna Taylor.

0:46:51.320 --> 0:46:53.680
<v Speaker 1>It's just now happening that the officers that were involved

0:46:53.680 --> 0:46:57.560
<v Speaker 1>in um, you know, her murder are officially being fired.

0:46:58.000 --> 0:47:01.480
<v Speaker 1>But we have these instances of you know, police coming

0:47:01.520 --> 0:47:04.160
<v Speaker 1>after you know, these people of color and no charges

0:47:04.239 --> 0:47:07.879
<v Speaker 1>being drawn So it is a good parallel to draw though,

0:47:07.920 --> 0:47:10.800
<v Speaker 1>because we say, like you know, we have we have flames,

0:47:10.800 --> 0:47:12.879
<v Speaker 1>said this, we've had you know, police officers go into

0:47:12.920 --> 0:47:15.279
<v Speaker 1>these communities of color. They're not familiar, they don't know

0:47:15.320 --> 0:47:17.799
<v Speaker 1>how to handle the situation. I've said myself to when

0:47:17.800 --> 0:47:19.960
<v Speaker 1>somebody's in distress, I call the fire department before I

0:47:20.000 --> 0:47:22.920
<v Speaker 1>call the police department, because the fire department is trained

0:47:22.960 --> 0:47:25.600
<v Speaker 1>to deal with these situations, whether they're paramedic or even

0:47:25.640 --> 0:47:28.399
<v Speaker 1>just you know, regular fireman, they're more equipped to deal

0:47:28.520 --> 0:47:33.160
<v Speaker 1>with situations of mental distress. So, um, it's an interesting

0:47:33.160 --> 0:47:35.600
<v Speaker 1>parallel to draw because, like we said, with the insurrection

0:47:35.600 --> 0:47:39.120
<v Speaker 1>that happened on January six, guns were drawn, people were out,

0:47:39.160 --> 0:47:43.359
<v Speaker 1>nobody was shot, Nobody was killed because you know, they

0:47:43.400 --> 0:47:46.319
<v Speaker 1>weren't viewed as a threat. Interestingly enough, but a man,

0:47:46.560 --> 0:47:48.960
<v Speaker 1>a man of color, who is actually having a mental

0:47:49.120 --> 0:47:51.880
<v Speaker 1>breakdown and is trying to walk back to his children

0:47:51.880 --> 0:47:54.160
<v Speaker 1>gets shot in the back several times. It's not a

0:47:54.200 --> 0:47:57.160
<v Speaker 1>big deal. So to be clear, five people did die

0:47:57.239 --> 0:47:59.000
<v Speaker 1>last which I think is part of the whole the

0:47:59.040 --> 0:48:02.120
<v Speaker 1>whole shot because was again secret Service said no time

0:48:02.560 --> 0:48:04.960
<v Speaker 1>blowing what's her name away the minute she came through

0:48:05.000 --> 0:48:08.000
<v Speaker 1>that window. She had a gun. She had she was shooting,

0:48:08.120 --> 0:48:10.680
<v Speaker 1>like I mean, at that point, if they didn't shoot her,

0:48:10.719 --> 0:48:13.160
<v Speaker 1>I would I would be baffled her. What was her name, Abby?

0:48:13.320 --> 0:48:15.880
<v Speaker 1>What was her last name? I don't believe she was armed, Lauren.

0:48:16.040 --> 0:48:18.799
<v Speaker 1>I think that she was just denying the She was

0:48:18.880 --> 0:48:21.520
<v Speaker 1>denying the order. They kept saying, do not, do not,

0:48:21.640 --> 0:48:24.719
<v Speaker 1>do not, and she kept proceeding anyway, and she was

0:48:24.880 --> 0:48:29.319
<v Speaker 1>ex military. I have a question she posted before she

0:48:29.360 --> 0:48:32.319
<v Speaker 1>went to the whole thing. And there is nothing that

0:48:32.440 --> 0:48:34.960
<v Speaker 1>will stop us. You think that bullet's name was nothing?

0:48:35.760 --> 0:48:39.279
<v Speaker 1>You know what? I know who I also know not

0:48:39.360 --> 0:48:41.440
<v Speaker 1>to claim through nobody else window because I was raised

0:48:41.520 --> 0:48:45.439
<v Speaker 1>right and she rest in peace. I said what I said,

0:48:45.440 --> 0:48:47.839
<v Speaker 1>I'm not saying that. Let me tell you something. You

0:48:47.920 --> 0:48:49.799
<v Speaker 1>can't go and do these things, and don't think that

0:48:49.840 --> 0:48:52.200
<v Speaker 1>there's not going to be some kind of repercussions, because

0:48:52.280 --> 0:48:54.440
<v Speaker 1>even with them being even when as much as I

0:48:54.480 --> 0:48:56.800
<v Speaker 1>thought that the police or whoever had a party that

0:48:56.920 --> 0:48:59.520
<v Speaker 1>some of them anyway, I'm not gonna let you kill

0:48:59.600 --> 0:49:02.240
<v Speaker 1>me because you're trying to prove a point. So whatever

0:49:02.360 --> 0:49:05.600
<v Speaker 1>officers shot her, whether she had got enough, they obviously

0:49:05.640 --> 0:49:08.800
<v Speaker 1>felt like they were in danger, and she x because

0:49:08.840 --> 0:49:11.560
<v Speaker 1>she was an ex marine or something right air Force,

0:49:11.800 --> 0:49:14.400
<v Speaker 1>she was highly trained, so you don't know what she

0:49:14.520 --> 0:49:17.839
<v Speaker 1>was capable of, even with her addiction that sometimes it's

0:49:17.840 --> 0:49:20.520
<v Speaker 1>not about you the way you grabbed people, your aggression,

0:49:20.640 --> 0:49:22.759
<v Speaker 1>it's the way you speaking. And she could she could

0:49:22.800 --> 0:49:26.680
<v Speaker 1>have came out professional, aggressive, scary. Who knows what the

0:49:26.719 --> 0:49:28.960
<v Speaker 1>situation was. But in that instance, if I have to

0:49:29.000 --> 0:49:32.520
<v Speaker 1>make a choice between your life and my life every

0:49:32.560 --> 0:49:35.560
<v Speaker 1>time you lose, I know that the minute she made

0:49:35.560 --> 0:49:38.520
<v Speaker 1>a step through that window into the chamber, that's when

0:49:38.520 --> 0:49:40.480
<v Speaker 1>he fired that one round took her out in the

0:49:40.560 --> 0:49:44.080
<v Speaker 1>neck and and dropped um. And it's uh, you know,

0:49:44.560 --> 0:49:46.680
<v Speaker 1>one of the things we've learned since then that she

0:49:47.040 --> 0:49:51.200
<v Speaker 1>was already kind of struggling financially and the idea was,

0:49:51.360 --> 0:49:54.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, she felt like Trump was the one to help.

0:49:54.200 --> 0:49:57.640
<v Speaker 1>You know, Trump put it in tump, Trump broke her ass.

0:49:57.680 --> 0:49:59.840
<v Speaker 1>That's what she didn't see. Trump was put it in

0:49:59.880 --> 0:50:02.080
<v Speaker 1>a financial crisis. Let me tell you something. I need

0:50:02.120 --> 0:50:04.240
<v Speaker 1>people to stop using it as a crutch to all people,

0:50:04.280 --> 0:50:06.960
<v Speaker 1>not just white folks, black folks. Never y'all stop saying, oh,

0:50:07.000 --> 0:50:08.920
<v Speaker 1>I ain't hand the money, so I was depressed. You

0:50:08.960 --> 0:50:11.280
<v Speaker 1>can always find a way to make some money. Honestly,

0:50:11.320 --> 0:50:13.080
<v Speaker 1>you will always be able to find if you've got

0:50:13.080 --> 0:50:15.200
<v Speaker 1>some any kind of hustle in you, you can. That's

0:50:15.239 --> 0:50:17.280
<v Speaker 1>nothing excuse for you to go out and hurt people.

0:50:17.520 --> 0:50:21.000
<v Speaker 1>Black folks been broke, broke, We was broken for years. Years, years.

0:50:21.239 --> 0:50:22.759
<v Speaker 1>We weren't going out and hurt people. They love to

0:50:22.760 --> 0:50:25.120
<v Speaker 1>say that black folks the most dangerous people in the world,

0:50:25.200 --> 0:50:27.480
<v Speaker 1>the most dangerous Black folks for the most power. We

0:50:27.600 --> 0:50:29.239
<v Speaker 1>just want to be cool. We just want to be

0:50:29.280 --> 0:50:33.759
<v Speaker 1>on chill. That's your angry. Ask what y'all mad at?

0:50:33.840 --> 0:50:36.080
<v Speaker 1>Because I'm because I'm a pretty nigger. This, that's what

0:50:36.120 --> 0:50:51.520
<v Speaker 1>you're mad at. Get over it. I want to give

0:50:51.520 --> 0:50:53.800
<v Speaker 1>a shout out because we were talking about standing ground.

0:50:53.920 --> 0:50:55.880
<v Speaker 1>This topic was introduced to me by one of our

0:50:55.920 --> 0:50:58.560
<v Speaker 1>flame mess Uh. You can find our instagram at j

0:50:58.719 --> 0:51:02.120
<v Speaker 1>J Rock zero Sake. That's the miss jay Tera Lockhard

0:51:02.200 --> 0:51:04.239
<v Speaker 1>j Tera. I hope I'm pronounce your first name right.

0:51:04.400 --> 0:51:06.680
<v Speaker 1>But she's a student at Falantis Smith College here in

0:51:07.000 --> 0:51:09.799
<v Speaker 1>Little Rock, Arkansas, and she brought the topic to my

0:51:09.840 --> 0:51:12.759
<v Speaker 1>attention to because here in Little Rock, Arkansas. Uh, they're

0:51:12.800 --> 0:51:17.120
<v Speaker 1>about you. There's a bill of moving forward to amend

0:51:17.400 --> 0:51:19.879
<v Speaker 1>stand your ground right now. You have to be under

0:51:19.880 --> 0:51:22.680
<v Speaker 1>a reasonable degree of threat. And what they want to

0:51:22.719 --> 0:51:24.520
<v Speaker 1>do is they're like, I nope, the fact that you

0:51:24.640 --> 0:51:27.000
<v Speaker 1>step on my property. We want to lower the standard

0:51:27.040 --> 0:51:29.320
<v Speaker 1>of what it is, uh, what is required for me

0:51:29.400 --> 0:51:31.719
<v Speaker 1>to pull my gun and actually shoot you. I don't

0:51:31.760 --> 0:51:34.319
<v Speaker 1>need to be threatened by you. I don't, is what

0:51:34.360 --> 0:51:36.160
<v Speaker 1>they want to argue. I don't need to be threatened

0:51:36.160 --> 0:51:38.240
<v Speaker 1>by you. The very fact that you're in my presence,

0:51:38.560 --> 0:51:41.480
<v Speaker 1>um that you may or may not be armed, I

0:51:41.560 --> 0:51:44.040
<v Speaker 1>still get to pull on you first. Right now, as

0:51:44.080 --> 0:51:47.200
<v Speaker 1>it stands, before Flame can just unload on me, I

0:51:47.239 --> 0:51:49.080
<v Speaker 1>have to make a threat or Flame has to feel

0:51:49.080 --> 0:51:51.120
<v Speaker 1>like there's a threat for her life and Flame is

0:51:51.120 --> 0:51:53.400
<v Speaker 1>being attacked, and it has to be credible, and I

0:51:53.440 --> 0:51:55.400
<v Speaker 1>have to have a weapon. But what they want to

0:51:55.400 --> 0:51:57.000
<v Speaker 1>do is they want to remove that that know, the

0:51:57.080 --> 0:51:59.640
<v Speaker 1>person threatening you does not have to have a weapon

0:51:59.680 --> 0:52:01.680
<v Speaker 1>and do not have to have a verbal or physical

0:52:01.680 --> 0:52:04.480
<v Speaker 1>threat that you can just unload. This is stand your

0:52:04.480 --> 0:52:07.879
<v Speaker 1>ground as it stands moving forward here in Arkansas. Yeah, well,

0:52:07.920 --> 0:52:10.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean we we kind of talked about this yesterday

0:52:10.160 --> 0:52:13.080
<v Speaker 1>the three of us. But stand your ground is always

0:52:13.160 --> 0:52:14.960
<v Speaker 1>kind of been something very prevalent in the South. So

0:52:15.000 --> 0:52:17.319
<v Speaker 1>I was surprised to hear that you in Arkansas where

0:52:17.360 --> 0:52:20.880
<v Speaker 1>you are, Nick, that that wasn't already you know in law.

0:52:21.600 --> 0:52:24.160
<v Speaker 1>But uh, standard ground is always going to be a

0:52:24.200 --> 0:52:26.000
<v Speaker 1>topic of conversation. You know, it was an issue with

0:52:26.040 --> 0:52:28.600
<v Speaker 1>George Zimmerman and him shooting Trayvon Martin. It was even

0:52:28.640 --> 0:52:32.040
<v Speaker 1>a standard ground was an issue um with Brianna Taylor

0:52:32.080 --> 0:52:35.040
<v Speaker 1>and her boyfriend. You know, thought there was there was

0:52:35.040 --> 0:52:37.040
<v Speaker 1>a no knock warrant, there was intruders coming in. He

0:52:37.120 --> 0:52:41.120
<v Speaker 1>was defending his household, and the announcement made that they

0:52:41.120 --> 0:52:46.560
<v Speaker 1>were police standard. So standard ground is just always gonna be, uh,

0:52:46.719 --> 0:52:48.920
<v Speaker 1>something of issue and something that's always going to be

0:52:48.920 --> 0:52:51.640
<v Speaker 1>biased because at the end of the day, if it's

0:52:51.640 --> 0:52:54.680
<v Speaker 1>a cop or whatever the situation, maybe you know, with

0:52:54.760 --> 0:52:57.400
<v Speaker 1>your with the right skin color, you automatically get this

0:52:57.480 --> 0:53:00.800
<v Speaker 1>qualified immunity. So and Lauren helped. It was in Florida

0:53:00.920 --> 0:53:04.200
<v Speaker 1>or Atlanta where you had that, remember the help me here.

0:53:04.239 --> 0:53:06.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm not trying to make it the white guy. He

0:53:06.719 --> 0:53:09.080
<v Speaker 1>told a girl she was parked in the handicap you

0:53:09.120 --> 0:53:11.279
<v Speaker 1>need to move, you need to move, and she was

0:53:11.320 --> 0:53:14.719
<v Speaker 1>ignoring him. His boy her boyfriend came out and uh,

0:53:14.800 --> 0:53:17.160
<v Speaker 1>he said he and then he just unloaded on the

0:53:17.200 --> 0:53:22.280
<v Speaker 1>guy and they Hadn't you remember that. I don't remember

0:53:22.280 --> 0:53:24.000
<v Speaker 1>where it is it was either, But it's just one

0:53:24.000 --> 0:53:26.480
<v Speaker 1>of those things where I feel like it's so murky now.

0:53:26.520 --> 0:53:30.480
<v Speaker 1>And what I think has some people concerned is that Arkansas,

0:53:30.520 --> 0:53:33.920
<v Speaker 1>some may not know, has the second highest rate of

0:53:33.920 --> 0:53:36.680
<v Speaker 1>gun ownership in the United States, second only to the

0:53:36.680 --> 0:53:39.120
<v Speaker 1>state of Alaska. UM, A lot of people think it'd

0:53:39.120 --> 0:53:43.120
<v Speaker 1>be Texas, but Texas is not. Its Arkansas. So in

0:53:43.200 --> 0:53:46.799
<v Speaker 1>the last six months, there has been a run on

0:53:47.280 --> 0:53:50.040
<v Speaker 1>guns and ammunition. Believe it or not, it is almost

0:53:50.080 --> 0:53:55.080
<v Speaker 1>impossible to find ammunition for for weaponry now because uh,

0:53:55.120 --> 0:53:58.000
<v Speaker 1>there are a lot of people who believe the Biden

0:53:58.040 --> 0:54:02.200
<v Speaker 1>Harris administration, will you are make it more difficult to

0:54:02.280 --> 0:54:05.480
<v Speaker 1>own a gun or raise taxes on on gun. So

0:54:05.560 --> 0:54:09.080
<v Speaker 1>there's just been a rush, and the spate of violence

0:54:09.120 --> 0:54:11.239
<v Speaker 1>across the United States has encouraged a lot of people say,

0:54:11.239 --> 0:54:13.640
<v Speaker 1>you know what, maybe I need to be a little

0:54:13.680 --> 0:54:18.080
<v Speaker 1>prepared close folks now are raiding the capital. I don't

0:54:18.080 --> 0:54:19.960
<v Speaker 1>know what they may do to my little, you know,

0:54:20.120 --> 0:54:23.440
<v Speaker 1>condo here in downtown Arkansas. Well, a couple of things. One,

0:54:23.520 --> 0:54:25.360
<v Speaker 1>I see that the city you're referring to was Florida.

0:54:25.480 --> 0:54:27.440
<v Speaker 1>So thank you everyone in the comments for sounding off

0:54:27.440 --> 0:54:30.879
<v Speaker 1>on that it was Florida. Um, but I'm very I'm

0:54:30.880 --> 0:54:33.560
<v Speaker 1>a firm believer in arming yourself. Um. I have a

0:54:33.560 --> 0:54:35.839
<v Speaker 1>shotgun to my house that's loaded at all times, So

0:54:36.000 --> 0:54:37.799
<v Speaker 1>I'm a firm believer in that. I'm just saying, you

0:54:37.840 --> 0:54:41.040
<v Speaker 1>have to protect and defend what's yours. Stand your ground.

0:54:41.040 --> 0:54:43.400
<v Speaker 1>Whether stand your ground mean to you, let me tell

0:54:43.440 --> 0:54:45.880
<v Speaker 1>you what stand your ground mean to me. I just said,

0:54:46.520 --> 0:54:48.880
<v Speaker 1>if there's ever a question, if it comes down to

0:54:49.080 --> 0:54:52.360
<v Speaker 1>if it's me or if it's you, I will always

0:54:52.520 --> 0:54:55.040
<v Speaker 1>choose me. And that is just how it is. And

0:54:55.080 --> 0:54:58.399
<v Speaker 1>because self preservation is the first love of nature. If

0:54:58.440 --> 0:55:00.319
<v Speaker 1>I feel like you're gonna hurt me because what I

0:55:00.440 --> 0:55:03.560
<v Speaker 1>look like or you don't understand, that has absolutely nothing

0:55:03.600 --> 0:55:05.359
<v Speaker 1>to do with me. But if you think that you're

0:55:05.360 --> 0:55:08.040
<v Speaker 1>gonna hurt me, baby, I watch enough line Order SVU

0:55:08.120 --> 0:55:10.200
<v Speaker 1>and Chicago. Bet I'm gonna get away with some ship.

0:55:10.400 --> 0:55:12.759
<v Speaker 1>Did y'all not see Paris is burning with Dory and

0:55:12.800 --> 0:55:14.680
<v Speaker 1>Corey was the training who was putting her makeup on

0:55:14.719 --> 0:55:17.399
<v Speaker 1>the whole time. After she died, they found the dead

0:55:17.400 --> 0:55:20.160
<v Speaker 1>body in a trunk and her that had been in

0:55:20.200 --> 0:55:22.720
<v Speaker 1>her closet for over twenty years. Bitch, I'm a training

0:55:22.840 --> 0:55:25.800
<v Speaker 1>train These are the most ingenious people on the planet.

0:55:26.000 --> 0:55:28.480
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna get away with some ship. Understand me, that

0:55:28.640 --> 0:55:31.319
<v Speaker 1>baby big brother ain't got to know what happened because

0:55:31.400 --> 0:55:33.879
<v Speaker 1>I ain't gonna tell nobody. See during court was smart.

0:55:33.920 --> 0:55:35.440
<v Speaker 1>She ain't tell nobody ship. She died and they was

0:55:35.440 --> 0:55:37.320
<v Speaker 1>still in the closet dead. Must have been some trade

0:55:37.360 --> 0:55:45.040
<v Speaker 1>that went left and he went right. Something around is

0:55:45.080 --> 0:55:46.880
<v Speaker 1>just what it is. And my problem with that that

0:55:46.920 --> 0:55:48.759
<v Speaker 1>they let George and get away with that. You know

0:55:48.800 --> 0:55:51.240
<v Speaker 1>who I partially blame, not blame for the whole incident

0:55:51.280 --> 0:55:54.920
<v Speaker 1>because it was completely his fault one, but the mother.

0:55:55.360 --> 0:55:57.759
<v Speaker 1>Let me tell you something to parents of children who

0:55:57.760 --> 0:55:59.840
<v Speaker 1>are murdered by the police, and it's and it's in

0:56:00.040 --> 0:56:03.880
<v Speaker 1>its's completely wrong. And you know it. Stop letting lawyers

0:56:03.920 --> 0:56:05.839
<v Speaker 1>and stop letting people get in your head and tell

0:56:05.920 --> 0:56:07.720
<v Speaker 1>you that you got to get on TV and speak

0:56:07.760 --> 0:56:10.360
<v Speaker 1>a certain way, or you got to whether if you

0:56:10.480 --> 0:56:13.160
<v Speaker 1>hurt one of my children. Any emotion that I feel

0:56:13.200 --> 0:56:16.880
<v Speaker 1>at that moment I have no control over because it's authentic.

0:56:17.200 --> 0:56:21.840
<v Speaker 1>I may take you on a roller coaster of emotions, hate, anger, bitterness, hurt, pain.

0:56:22.320 --> 0:56:24.879
<v Speaker 1>I may yell and scream. You know, I may laugh

0:56:24.920 --> 0:56:26.680
<v Speaker 1>and think about a great moment that I shared with

0:56:26.719 --> 0:56:28.920
<v Speaker 1>that child at that time. I'm not gonna let nobody

0:56:28.920 --> 0:56:30.440
<v Speaker 1>get in my ear and say, were you speaking for

0:56:30.560 --> 0:56:33.279
<v Speaker 1>the community. You're a black person. Everybody's watching you. We're

0:56:33.280 --> 0:56:35.560
<v Speaker 1>gonna get you, Tim millions. I don't give a damn

0:56:35.600 --> 0:56:39.600
<v Speaker 1>about your money. I want my baby. I want my baby.

0:56:39.640 --> 0:56:42.360
<v Speaker 1>So I don't like that. And I thought that, uh

0:56:42.719 --> 0:56:46.680
<v Speaker 1>Tray Bond's mother's Martin's mother. That she kept her composure.

0:56:46.760 --> 0:56:49.400
<v Speaker 1>She was very professional, cool, but I'm sure that she

0:56:49.560 --> 0:56:52.160
<v Speaker 1>had raged and hurt and we didn't get a chance

0:56:52.200 --> 0:56:54.400
<v Speaker 1>to see that, because I think that would resonate with

0:56:54.520 --> 0:56:57.960
<v Speaker 1>regular people across the board, not just black folks, but everybody.

0:56:57.960 --> 0:56:59.719
<v Speaker 1>Because if you are a parent, then you know the

0:56:59.800 --> 0:57:02.440
<v Speaker 1>level of love that comes with being a parent. If

0:57:02.440 --> 0:57:04.399
<v Speaker 1>you are not a parent, you don't know. You never

0:57:04.440 --> 0:57:06.560
<v Speaker 1>know how much you will sacrifice, on how much you

0:57:06.560 --> 0:57:09.520
<v Speaker 1>will love until you have your own biological child. I

0:57:09.560 --> 0:57:11.759
<v Speaker 1>said that because I'm a real parent. So anybody said,

0:57:11.840 --> 0:57:13.879
<v Speaker 1>well I adopted the child, I have them just the same.

0:57:14.120 --> 0:57:15.560
<v Speaker 1>I ain't never adopt no kids. I don't know what

0:57:15.840 --> 0:57:17.480
<v Speaker 1>you're talking about. Yeah, I had a comment, but I'm

0:57:17.520 --> 0:57:20.400
<v Speaker 1>not a parent, so I'm gonna just shut up to see,

0:57:20.520 --> 0:57:23.480
<v Speaker 1>I sh shipped Laurie. Up, y'all, I shut up, Laurie.

0:57:23.520 --> 0:57:27.240
<v Speaker 1>That's it's ad Joe. We were talking about workplace vaccination

0:57:27.280 --> 0:57:32.560
<v Speaker 1>and already know go ahead, but I just so much,

0:57:33.160 --> 0:57:35.480
<v Speaker 1>you like to talk so much. We're gonna let you

0:57:35.520 --> 0:57:38.600
<v Speaker 1>have these first three minute it's a teachable moment, your

0:57:38.600 --> 0:57:41.120
<v Speaker 1>teachable moments explained to them what you told us yesterday

0:57:41.160 --> 0:57:43.080
<v Speaker 1>on the phone. I think it's a good teachable moment

0:57:43.160 --> 0:57:46.440
<v Speaker 1>for everybody. This is what the shows about the workplace

0:57:46.520 --> 0:57:50.000
<v Speaker 1>vaccination we're talking about. Specifically, a Dollar General is planning

0:57:50.040 --> 0:57:53.760
<v Speaker 1>to pay their employees to get vaccinated. Dollar General. For

0:57:53.800 --> 0:57:56.680
<v Speaker 1>some of our flamemts or listeners who may not know,

0:57:57.360 --> 0:58:00.400
<v Speaker 1>is a chain of stories attend to uh be more

0:58:00.440 --> 0:58:03.400
<v Speaker 1>popular in areas and communities that that that I live

0:58:03.440 --> 0:58:05.720
<v Speaker 1>in right now. I live in downtown Little Rock, so

0:58:05.760 --> 0:58:09.240
<v Speaker 1>it's more urban. Um and it's not as um upscale

0:58:09.280 --> 0:58:12.160
<v Speaker 1>as suburbia would be or Long Beach where Flame and

0:58:12.320 --> 0:58:15.560
<v Speaker 1>Lauren live or you know, um. So it serves a

0:58:15.560 --> 0:58:19.640
<v Speaker 1>certain community, as certain demographic. Within that demographic, there are

0:58:19.680 --> 0:58:23.240
<v Speaker 1>people who are less likely to respond positively when you

0:58:23.280 --> 0:58:25.480
<v Speaker 1>ask them to put on a mask, or if you

0:58:26.720 --> 0:58:29.240
<v Speaker 1>ask them have they been vaccinated? They're less likely to

0:58:29.280 --> 0:58:32.240
<v Speaker 1>be vaccinated. So what dollar generalists decide to do is

0:58:32.240 --> 0:58:34.919
<v Speaker 1>they say, hey, how do we protect our employees. They're

0:58:34.960 --> 0:58:37.760
<v Speaker 1>offering to pay their employees to get the vaccination, since

0:58:37.800 --> 0:58:40.600
<v Speaker 1>you are going to be working in these communities where

0:58:40.600 --> 0:58:43.040
<v Speaker 1>it can be a challenge, and the members of that

0:58:43.080 --> 0:58:46.160
<v Speaker 1>community may or may not be vaccinated themselves, may or

0:58:46.160 --> 0:58:49.280
<v Speaker 1>may not respond positively to you asking them to wear

0:58:49.320 --> 0:58:52.040
<v Speaker 1>a mask. We would like to protect our employees, and

0:58:52.240 --> 0:58:54.880
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna pay you to do it, to take the vaccine.

0:58:55.200 --> 0:58:57.200
<v Speaker 1>So one of the things we talked about yesterday was

0:58:57.240 --> 0:58:59.560
<v Speaker 1>just whether or not that was a good idea. You know,

0:59:00.200 --> 0:59:03.840
<v Speaker 1>how do you Jesus moment with the vaccine yesterday? Please

0:59:03.840 --> 0:59:06.160
<v Speaker 1>explain to we talked about that earlier. No, we did not.

0:59:06.280 --> 0:59:11.720
<v Speaker 1>You didn't tell your your your take on the vaccine

0:59:11.720 --> 0:59:14.680
<v Speaker 1>because it changed yesterday for some reason. But my my

0:59:14.760 --> 0:59:18.400
<v Speaker 1>take on the vaccine with this new supervirus definitely changed.

0:59:18.960 --> 0:59:22.320
<v Speaker 1>Before my attitude was simple. I believed in the science.

0:59:22.560 --> 0:59:25.160
<v Speaker 1>You made it clear. Okay, operation work speed. You've got

0:59:25.160 --> 0:59:27.160
<v Speaker 1>this together. You're ready to knock out COVID that came

0:59:27.200 --> 0:59:31.440
<v Speaker 1>along and got us in January. Now here we are

0:59:31.440 --> 0:59:34.640
<v Speaker 1>in one. You've talked about this new strain. Oh yeah,

0:59:34.760 --> 0:59:38.240
<v Speaker 1>that operation warp speed, the virus, the antibody that we created,

0:59:38.280 --> 0:59:40.480
<v Speaker 1>the vaccine we created. Oh think you'll be fine. It

0:59:40.520 --> 0:59:43.840
<v Speaker 1>works for this one too. And that's when I said, wait,

0:59:43.920 --> 0:59:47.240
<v Speaker 1>admitt it that I don't hold up how you didn't

0:59:47.240 --> 0:59:50.000
<v Speaker 1>even know this one was there? It doesn't roll out.

0:59:50.240 --> 0:59:54.120
<v Speaker 1>But here's my biggest issue initially, and this is where

0:59:54.160 --> 0:59:57.760
<v Speaker 1>I have a problem. Because I'm listening to you. I

0:59:57.840 --> 1:00:00.360
<v Speaker 1>want to advocate for you. I want to help my

1:00:00.400 --> 1:00:03.880
<v Speaker 1>community get vaccinated. You told us we needed two shots

1:00:03.920 --> 1:00:08.240
<v Speaker 1>of the moderna vaccine. Now what we already sent him out.

1:00:08.280 --> 1:00:10.200
<v Speaker 1>We don't have that second one. You're gonna be fine

1:00:10.200 --> 1:00:12.640
<v Speaker 1>with one shot. Not only are you gonna be fine

1:00:12.640 --> 1:00:15.919
<v Speaker 1>with one shot. That one shot you have may work

1:00:16.000 --> 1:00:18.439
<v Speaker 1>on this new strain of this new supervirus. That's even

1:00:18.440 --> 1:00:21.760
<v Speaker 1>more contagious. So it's really don't worry about it. We'll

1:00:21.800 --> 1:00:26.320
<v Speaker 1>figure it out as we go. And let me have

1:00:26.440 --> 1:00:30.520
<v Speaker 1>my doctor Fauci moment. Ain't that with that did on TV?

1:00:32.600 --> 1:00:35.800
<v Speaker 1>You've got to understand that people, that causes confusion and

1:00:35.960 --> 1:00:39.440
<v Speaker 1>skepticism and doubt. And I'm like, wait a minute. I

1:00:39.480 --> 1:00:41.680
<v Speaker 1>was cheering for you all and I want to be

1:00:41.800 --> 1:00:43.920
<v Speaker 1>there and I want to say, mom, you should do this,

1:00:44.040 --> 1:00:47.080
<v Speaker 1>and now you've got me questioning, don't do a girl?

1:00:48.200 --> 1:00:50.560
<v Speaker 1>Take that ship? My mother said she would take it

1:00:50.560 --> 1:00:53.600
<v Speaker 1>in and let me go back to this. Let me

1:00:53.680 --> 1:00:59.080
<v Speaker 1>let well, I'm going to be Switzerland here really quickly

1:00:59.120 --> 1:01:01.600
<v Speaker 1>and say, this is why we call this show, Laugh

1:01:01.640 --> 1:01:04.960
<v Speaker 1>and Learn. Because we've had discussions about the vaccine flame

1:01:04.960 --> 1:01:07.280
<v Speaker 1>and I have always been against it, and Nick you

1:01:07.320 --> 1:01:10.520
<v Speaker 1>were for it, but like you said, you've done your research.

1:01:10.560 --> 1:01:13.040
<v Speaker 1>You looked into it more to see if you think

1:01:13.080 --> 1:01:14.840
<v Speaker 1>it would be good for you, and now with all

1:01:14.840 --> 1:01:18.160
<v Speaker 1>this misinformation, you realize it's not something that you want

1:01:18.160 --> 1:01:22.160
<v Speaker 1>to do. And moreover, there's more strains coming out. There's

1:01:22.160 --> 1:01:24.840
<v Speaker 1>a South African strain now, there's a UK strain now,

1:01:24.960 --> 1:01:27.840
<v Speaker 1>and there's like three different strains that are all of

1:01:27.880 --> 1:01:30.240
<v Speaker 1>a sudden out there. And I sent you guys even

1:01:30.280 --> 1:01:33.080
<v Speaker 1>a video last night showing that the there's a batch

1:01:33.160 --> 1:01:36.680
<v Speaker 1>of Maderna vaccines that came to California that are causing

1:01:36.680 --> 1:01:39.240
<v Speaker 1>people to have allergic reactions. It's three hundred and thirty

1:01:39.280 --> 1:01:43.960
<v Speaker 1>thousand bad cases of a vaccine. So anyway, point moral

1:01:44.000 --> 1:01:46.760
<v Speaker 1>of the story, Nick had a come to Jesus moment yesterday, y'

1:01:46.760 --> 1:01:49.440
<v Speaker 1>all and is officially on this side and it's not

1:01:49.520 --> 1:01:54.920
<v Speaker 1>taking the vaccine as of today. That would be me

1:01:55.880 --> 1:01:58.560
<v Speaker 1>if you did not see the movie I am legend

1:01:58.800 --> 1:02:03.680
<v Speaker 1>it was about a vaccine based on the year twenty one.

1:02:04.160 --> 1:02:06.439
<v Speaker 1>Y'all think what y'all want to about that nigger West

1:02:06.440 --> 1:02:09.400
<v Speaker 1>Philadelphia born and raised. But that nigga was on to something, y'all.

1:02:09.440 --> 1:02:12.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm telling you now, I ain't taking it. And here's

1:02:12.040 --> 1:02:14.160
<v Speaker 1>my thing, because if this is a if this is

1:02:14.280 --> 1:02:16.800
<v Speaker 1>one virus before the new string came out, if it

1:02:16.880 --> 1:02:20.280
<v Speaker 1>was one virus, while we got fourteen companies coming up

1:02:20.280 --> 1:02:25.760
<v Speaker 1>with different different vaccines, while one company, one government funded company,

1:02:25.880 --> 1:02:29.200
<v Speaker 1>American company with our own tax dollars, didn't just create

1:02:29.240 --> 1:02:35.800
<v Speaker 1>one vaccine for everybody. Now we got Maderna, uh fights

1:02:36.880 --> 1:02:39.080
<v Speaker 1>all these and then more companies coming out, and then

1:02:39.120 --> 1:02:41.800
<v Speaker 1>they just posted that three people died in one day

1:02:41.880 --> 1:02:44.520
<v Speaker 1>and what was that at and some of them they

1:02:44.520 --> 1:02:47.919
<v Speaker 1>said they were older, but it doesn't matter. I want

1:02:47.920 --> 1:02:52.160
<v Speaker 1>to die. You mentioned just because they died. Do we

1:02:52.320 --> 1:02:56.200
<v Speaker 1>know it was exactly right down from heart attacks and

1:02:56.240 --> 1:02:59.000
<v Speaker 1>strokes and walking into buildings and ship Yeah, all anythings

1:02:59.000 --> 1:03:01.880
<v Speaker 1>still happen. Coacs this they just make everything COVID. Well,

1:03:01.880 --> 1:03:03.560
<v Speaker 1>this is my main thing. And I said this to

1:03:03.640 --> 1:03:08.760
<v Speaker 1>you guys yesterday. China, this whole virus supposedly originated in Wuhan.

1:03:09.520 --> 1:03:12.200
<v Speaker 1>China didn't have to give their folks vaccines for them

1:03:12.200 --> 1:03:15.720
<v Speaker 1>to get better. They didn't have to. But in this country,

1:03:15.760 --> 1:03:19.040
<v Speaker 1>and I'm just gonna say this farm agreed is real

1:03:19.400 --> 1:03:22.520
<v Speaker 1>and just rampant. That's what this is. And it's so

1:03:22.600 --> 1:03:27.600
<v Speaker 1>unfortunate that money and greed comes before tecting, comes before

1:03:27.640 --> 1:03:30.720
<v Speaker 1>excuse me, protecting your citizens. China did what they were

1:03:30.720 --> 1:03:33.200
<v Speaker 1>supposed to do and protected their citizens even though you know,

1:03:33.280 --> 1:03:35.520
<v Speaker 1>let's say the virus originated there. We don't know that.

1:03:35.800 --> 1:03:38.440
<v Speaker 1>You know, I'm not saying that emphatically, but that's what's

1:03:38.480 --> 1:03:41.880
<v Speaker 1>in the news here, We're just gonna put citizens at

1:03:41.960 --> 1:03:45.680
<v Speaker 1>risk because it profits us in the end. That's just

1:03:45.760 --> 1:03:47.360
<v Speaker 1>kind of what I can't get with the same reason

1:03:47.400 --> 1:03:48.960
<v Speaker 1>why I say I still don't get a food shot.

1:03:49.160 --> 1:03:51.880
<v Speaker 1>You know why China. You know why Chinese people, because

1:03:52.200 --> 1:03:54.600
<v Speaker 1>Asian people are some of the most disciplined people on

1:03:54.640 --> 1:03:58.120
<v Speaker 1>the planet, and those Chinese people have been trained since birth.

1:03:58.600 --> 1:04:00.600
<v Speaker 1>This is a dictatorship. This of what you're gonna do

1:04:00.680 --> 1:04:01.840
<v Speaker 1>when we tell you not to come out of the

1:04:01.880 --> 1:04:04.040
<v Speaker 1>house at the five o'clock, don't leave your house, and

1:04:04.120 --> 1:04:06.120
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna shoot you. And I heard they were releasing

1:04:06.120 --> 1:04:09.640
<v Speaker 1>tigers and and hungry tigers in China, So take your

1:04:09.640 --> 1:04:15.280
<v Speaker 1>aside of you want to Chinese food. I don't know

1:04:15.320 --> 1:04:17.640
<v Speaker 1>about that, but what I'm saying is that they are

1:04:17.760 --> 1:04:20.800
<v Speaker 1>very disciplined people. And I sit on here before when

1:04:20.800 --> 1:04:23.560
<v Speaker 1>we talked about this, Americans just do not want to

1:04:23.600 --> 1:04:25.960
<v Speaker 1>be told what to do. None of us want nobody

1:04:26.080 --> 1:04:28.240
<v Speaker 1>telling us what to do. We want to do what

1:04:28.320 --> 1:04:33.160
<v Speaker 1>our way always our way is not always the right way.

1:04:33.520 --> 1:04:35.720
<v Speaker 1>But I mean, we saw our democracy at the end

1:04:35.760 --> 1:04:37.080
<v Speaker 1>of the day, and that is part of it. But

1:04:37.320 --> 1:04:40.200
<v Speaker 1>to what's happening, misinformation and everything else. Now we're here,

1:04:40.360 --> 1:04:44.440
<v Speaker 1>So I encourage people and speaking of misinformation, there literally

1:04:44.480 --> 1:04:48.280
<v Speaker 1>came out yesterday that misinformation in the last week dropped

1:04:48.280 --> 1:04:53.680
<v Speaker 1>by because they've been going after people have been spreading misinformation.

1:04:53.680 --> 1:04:55.600
<v Speaker 1>I think people need to read more. I do know

1:04:55.720 --> 1:04:58.400
<v Speaker 1>that the whole idea behind the vaccine was never to

1:04:58.720 --> 1:05:01.960
<v Speaker 1>stop you from getting it, is to reduce your chances

1:05:01.960 --> 1:05:05.480
<v Speaker 1>of dying should you become positive with COVID nineteen. So

1:05:05.760 --> 1:05:08.320
<v Speaker 1>I just encourage all of our listeners to read and

1:05:08.320 --> 1:05:11.760
<v Speaker 1>and speak to their own healthcare provider about what is

1:05:11.800 --> 1:05:13.960
<v Speaker 1>the best choice for them in their body. So well,

1:05:14.000 --> 1:05:17.160
<v Speaker 1>and I'll also say this to it's fact that I

1:05:17.440 --> 1:05:20.120
<v Speaker 1>there are people that have taken the COVID vaccine and

1:05:20.120 --> 1:05:23.160
<v Speaker 1>are still testing positive. So think about that. That's all

1:05:23.200 --> 1:05:24.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying. That's a fact. That's not something I think.

1:05:24.880 --> 1:05:27.200
<v Speaker 1>That's something I know. So y'all running around here taking

1:05:27.240 --> 1:05:30.360
<v Speaker 1>off y'all mask y'all all down there fighting, and y'all

1:05:30.400 --> 1:05:33.080
<v Speaker 1>all up in d C last week pushing and touching

1:05:33.120 --> 1:05:35.480
<v Speaker 1>all on each other, and then y'all took no COVID test.

1:05:35.560 --> 1:05:37.640
<v Speaker 1>Y'all need to knock it off. All that, and then

1:05:37.640 --> 1:05:39.440
<v Speaker 1>they'll put them in jail. Did y'all test them before

1:05:39.480 --> 1:05:41.360
<v Speaker 1>y'all put them in jail? That's my thing. Did you

1:05:41.440 --> 1:05:44.040
<v Speaker 1>test them? Because if you're arrested some of these people

1:05:44.040 --> 1:05:46.320
<v Speaker 1>who were at this event last that's what it was.

1:05:46.360 --> 1:05:48.240
<v Speaker 1>It was an event that was an event for them.

1:05:48.600 --> 1:05:50.680
<v Speaker 1>That that all that it was tragic. It was so

1:05:50.800 --> 1:05:53.040
<v Speaker 1>this beach that wasn't even I had my popcorn and

1:05:53.120 --> 1:05:55.400
<v Speaker 1>get my life. That was an event for them. Let

1:05:55.400 --> 1:05:57.640
<v Speaker 1>me say what I said. But did you attest them

1:05:57.680 --> 1:05:59.320
<v Speaker 1>before you put them in jail? Because you remember a

1:05:59.360 --> 1:06:01.560
<v Speaker 1>couple of weeks ago, well, they arrested that black man

1:06:01.600 --> 1:06:03.440
<v Speaker 1>in Virginia, the two officers and they didn't have a

1:06:03.480 --> 1:06:05.440
<v Speaker 1>mask on, and they arrested him with thought that he

1:06:05.480 --> 1:06:06.760
<v Speaker 1>was in the mall still and he was with his

1:06:06.760 --> 1:06:09.000
<v Speaker 1>wife and kids. They didn't have mask on. He tested

1:06:09.040 --> 1:06:11.560
<v Speaker 1>positive a few days later for government virus that he

1:06:11.600 --> 1:06:14.320
<v Speaker 1>caught from those police officers. So you arrested these people

1:06:14.320 --> 1:06:16.840
<v Speaker 1>who did all this foolishness last weekend, d C. But

1:06:16.880 --> 1:06:19.080
<v Speaker 1>before you put them in jail and exposed all these

1:06:19.120 --> 1:06:22.080
<v Speaker 1>innocent prisoners who weren't there at that event, did you

1:06:22.160 --> 1:06:24.720
<v Speaker 1>test their asses because they should have been isolated somewhere

1:06:24.720 --> 1:06:28.280
<v Speaker 1>else if they tested positive. Real talk, that's true, and

1:06:28.520 --> 1:06:30.960
<v Speaker 1>nobody ain't talking about that, y'all. Oh, don't give me mad.

1:06:31.000 --> 1:06:32.960
<v Speaker 1>And I had to gut me too. Okay, what happened,

1:06:35.080 --> 1:06:37.600
<v Speaker 1>But before we go, you did want to make sure

1:06:37.640 --> 1:06:40.120
<v Speaker 1>that we hit those numbers in l A. Just talking

1:06:40.120 --> 1:06:43.320
<v Speaker 1>about in l A right now. How many This is

1:06:43.320 --> 1:06:45.440
<v Speaker 1>why you're not here. How many we just hit. So

1:06:46.000 --> 1:06:48.680
<v Speaker 1>l A was one of the first states, well, l

1:06:48.720 --> 1:06:49.960
<v Speaker 1>A County, I'm sorry, it was one of the first

1:06:50.120 --> 1:06:53.560
<v Speaker 1>counties to hit one million cases in California. Overall, we

1:06:53.720 --> 1:06:59.040
<v Speaker 1>have over thirty thousand deaths. So we l A County, California,

1:06:59.200 --> 1:07:02.240
<v Speaker 1>we are really at the forefront. Were like the New York.

1:07:02.240 --> 1:07:05.400
<v Speaker 1>We're almost like the epicenter of this virus now. And uh,

1:07:05.440 --> 1:07:08.320
<v Speaker 1>it's pretty crazy. And I gotta fact check. I was

1:07:08.320 --> 1:07:11.400
<v Speaker 1>watching MSNBC earlier today. Now all of a sudden, they

1:07:11.400 --> 1:07:13.840
<v Speaker 1>had a runner across the bottom saying that we have

1:07:14.240 --> 1:07:17.000
<v Speaker 1>three million cases here. So I gotta fact check back

1:07:17.000 --> 1:07:18.800
<v Speaker 1>to see if that's accurate. I know for sure that

1:07:18.840 --> 1:07:21.600
<v Speaker 1>we hit one million over the weekend. Y'all have to understand.

1:07:21.600 --> 1:07:23.200
<v Speaker 1>I know you want to see your loved ones and

1:07:23.240 --> 1:07:25.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm telling you I said this before. Nick wants that

1:07:25.360 --> 1:07:27.920
<v Speaker 1>Nick has not eyeballed his mom, and what two years

1:07:28.120 --> 1:07:31.160
<v Speaker 1>has been? Two years? Two years? He has not imagined

1:07:31.200 --> 1:07:32.560
<v Speaker 1>not saying I ain't say man in three But I

1:07:32.600 --> 1:07:36.120
<v Speaker 1>was mad anyway, not seeing your mama, that your mama's boy,

1:07:36.120 --> 1:07:37.800
<v Speaker 1>and Nicola is a mama's boy. So I know something.

1:07:37.840 --> 1:07:39.400
<v Speaker 1>Y'all want to see your parents, but you have not

1:07:40.600 --> 1:07:44.200
<v Speaker 1>whens tell you that you can't come. They're not telling

1:07:44.240 --> 1:07:47.400
<v Speaker 1>you to protect them, They're telling you to protect your

1:07:47.520 --> 1:07:51.400
<v Speaker 1>heart because if you come and your parents get sick

1:07:51.440 --> 1:07:53.200
<v Speaker 1>after you're going to visit them because you needed to

1:07:53.200 --> 1:07:55.680
<v Speaker 1>see them, and then they end up getting sick and dying,

1:07:55.800 --> 1:07:58.040
<v Speaker 1>the guilt that you will live with. That's all she's

1:07:58.040 --> 1:08:00.080
<v Speaker 1>trying to save you from. That's all she's trying to

1:08:00.120 --> 1:08:03.000
<v Speaker 1>save you from. She wanted yass on here watching that. Hey,

1:08:03.000 --> 1:08:06.080
<v Speaker 1>miss Rosette girl, you're watching that, you know, and I

1:08:06.160 --> 1:08:09.120
<v Speaker 1>know what you're doing, Miss Rosette. You older, older woman

1:08:09.240 --> 1:08:11.360
<v Speaker 1>like myself, So I know what you're doing. You saving

1:08:11.440 --> 1:08:13.720
<v Speaker 1>your baby's feelings and you know how overly sensitive your

1:08:13.760 --> 1:08:15.600
<v Speaker 1>baby is. You know that's a big old crap baby.

1:08:15.800 --> 1:08:17.519
<v Speaker 1>But he wants to see you, and I know you

1:08:17.520 --> 1:08:19.920
<v Speaker 1>want to see him, but sometimes you have to step

1:08:19.920 --> 1:08:22.080
<v Speaker 1>outside of that that. I want to see my parents

1:08:22.360 --> 1:08:25.519
<v Speaker 1>because the older people are more likely to get it

1:08:25.520 --> 1:08:27.400
<v Speaker 1>and die. And you don't want to walk around with that.

1:08:27.600 --> 1:08:29.559
<v Speaker 1>You'd be walking around crazy. It's Kanye. They'll be starting

1:08:29.560 --> 1:08:31.120

1:09:00.240 --> 1:09:02.840
<v Speaker 1>y'all know, y'all want you'all some of that. Y'all know

<v Speaker 1>make something happen. Not to you get a gun? You say,

1:09:17.880 --> 1:09:21.120
<v Speaker 1>now in Arkansas King Draft. You know, Martin Luther King

1:09:21.160 --> 1:09:23.559
<v Speaker 1>in every neighborhood is the black neighborhood. Baby, I know

1:09:23.680 --> 1:09:26.680
<v Speaker 1>every every city that they got the King Draft is

1:09:26.680 --> 1:09:33.439
<v Speaker 1>the black neigh Very true, very true. We were talking

1:09:33.439 --> 1:09:36.160
<v Speaker 1>about work culture just so flamemt's know what we're talking about,

1:09:36.240 --> 1:09:39.599
<v Speaker 1>because many of them may know this very well, because

1:09:39.640 --> 1:09:43.120
<v Speaker 1>we know we have those in every age group that

1:09:43.240 --> 1:09:46.160
<v Speaker 1>how the work culture today has changed and it's been

1:09:46.200 --> 1:09:49.880
<v Speaker 1>designed to accommodate a new workforce. Specifically, what we were

1:09:49.880 --> 1:09:53.280
<v Speaker 1>talking about is how managers today who are doing hiring

1:09:53.560 --> 1:09:56.240
<v Speaker 1>friends of mine who work for different Fortune five companies

1:09:56.280 --> 1:10:00.639
<v Speaker 1>like Apple or Amazon, they've had to hire people who

1:10:00.640 --> 1:10:04.799
<v Speaker 1>are Lauren's age and speak to them about work life balance,

1:10:05.160 --> 1:10:07.680
<v Speaker 1>a topic that never came up when I entered the workforce.

1:10:08.000 --> 1:10:11.240
<v Speaker 1>As in now managers have to take into consideration, am

1:10:11.280 --> 1:10:14.439
<v Speaker 1>I giving Lauren enough personal time to balance what she

1:10:14.520 --> 1:10:16.400
<v Speaker 1>needs to do so that she can be her best

1:10:16.439 --> 1:10:19.559
<v Speaker 1>creative self when she comes here to work? And those

1:10:19.600 --> 1:10:22.200
<v Speaker 1>are things that were just beyond the pale when we

1:10:22.360 --> 1:10:24.880
<v Speaker 1>enter the workforce. Playing Yeah, I mean, and I said

1:10:24.880 --> 1:10:27.400
<v Speaker 1>this to you guys too. I know from experience that

1:10:27.880 --> 1:10:31.200
<v Speaker 1>it's very It's true. It is, and especially you know

1:10:31.280 --> 1:10:33.720
<v Speaker 1>when you're in departments like marketing and in all these

1:10:33.760 --> 1:10:37.080
<v Speaker 1>different creative spaces and you have these younger generations now

1:10:37.400 --> 1:10:39.640
<v Speaker 1>it is something that has to be considered. You know,

1:10:40.120 --> 1:10:43.599
<v Speaker 1>nine to five and salaried employees. All of these things

1:10:43.680 --> 1:10:46.800
<v Speaker 1>have to be negotiated and worked through because some people

1:10:46.840 --> 1:10:49.000
<v Speaker 1>really feel like I need to have some type of

1:10:49.040 --> 1:10:52.400
<v Speaker 1>separation from my job when I go home. Me for instance,

1:10:52.479 --> 1:10:54.000
<v Speaker 1>for the company that I work for. You guys all

1:10:54.080 --> 1:10:57.559
<v Speaker 1>know I don't have that. I yes, I'm salaried. So

1:10:58.000 --> 1:11:00.519
<v Speaker 1>my I worked around the clock, flame knows that, you know,

1:11:00.600 --> 1:11:03.599
<v Speaker 1>she can call me anytime. I'm always working. Sometimes I'm like, okay,

1:11:03.600 --> 1:11:06.080
<v Speaker 1>I need a moment. But that's just how things are,

1:11:06.160 --> 1:11:08.320
<v Speaker 1>you know. And I work in a nonprofit sector. I

1:11:08.360 --> 1:11:10.559
<v Speaker 1>don't work in corporate America. That was a conscious decision

1:11:10.560 --> 1:11:12.559
<v Speaker 1>that I made because I didn't want to do that.

1:11:13.160 --> 1:11:14.519
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to go to work for a for a

1:11:14.520 --> 1:11:18.320
<v Speaker 1>greater purpose. So it is something that is discussed more

1:11:18.360 --> 1:11:20.760
<v Speaker 1>and more um and it also just depends on who

1:11:20.840 --> 1:11:22.200
<v Speaker 1>you are as a person and what you want to do.

1:11:22.439 --> 1:11:24.920
<v Speaker 1>Work life balance is not as much of a priority

1:11:24.920 --> 1:11:26.880
<v Speaker 1>when it came to me. You know, I wanted to

1:11:26.960 --> 1:11:29.120
<v Speaker 1>enjoy what I was doing, so I made that decision.

1:11:29.400 --> 1:11:31.360
<v Speaker 1>But to your point, that is something that's very real

1:11:31.400 --> 1:11:34.040
<v Speaker 1>and something that I've experienced and witnessed in the workplace,

1:11:34.800 --> 1:11:37.200
<v Speaker 1>and it's also changed, Lauren. I think the days of

1:11:37.600 --> 1:11:40.000
<v Speaker 1>working for a company. My mother worked for and retired

1:11:40.000 --> 1:11:43.000
<v Speaker 1>from Illinois Bell after being their thirty years. The idea

1:11:43.040 --> 1:11:46.160
<v Speaker 1>of being with the same employer for thirty years just

1:11:46.360 --> 1:11:49.000
<v Speaker 1>isn't the reality of today's workforce. It's not at all.

1:11:49.280 --> 1:11:51.840
<v Speaker 1>And so she retired with the pension and you know,

1:11:51.880 --> 1:11:54.000
<v Speaker 1>all of that pension. What's that You know, if you

1:11:54.000 --> 1:11:55.920
<v Speaker 1>don't start the four oh one k when you enter

1:11:56.000 --> 1:11:58.200
<v Speaker 1>in now, Uh, it's a rap. I don't think most

1:11:58.200 --> 1:12:01.479
<v Speaker 1>companies even offer if you do, know, but the majority

1:12:01.560 --> 1:12:03.920
<v Speaker 1>expect you to save on your own. So it's definitely changed.

1:12:04.040 --> 1:12:06.080
<v Speaker 1>My biggest issue out of all of this that you're

1:12:06.080 --> 1:12:09.640
<v Speaker 1>talking about with the workforce is, Laurence said, the younger generation.

1:12:09.760 --> 1:12:12.200
<v Speaker 1>This have for twenty five talking about the younger generation

1:12:12.240 --> 1:12:14.679
<v Speaker 1>that works. Eighteen year olds don't even work. They still

1:12:14.680 --> 1:12:16.680
<v Speaker 1>live in my house spending my money. Oh that's my

1:12:16.720 --> 1:12:22.000
<v Speaker 1>personal ship. Okay, So you see I never had to

1:12:22.040 --> 1:12:24.400
<v Speaker 1>work in corporate America. I never had to dance for

1:12:24.560 --> 1:12:27.519
<v Speaker 1>Mr Charlie ast t Janet would say, I never had

1:12:27.560 --> 1:12:30.360
<v Speaker 1>to do that because I was always an entertainer and

1:12:30.400 --> 1:12:33.120
<v Speaker 1>pretty much freelance. So I wouldn't know, and I wouldn't

1:12:33.160 --> 1:12:35.960
<v Speaker 1>do good in spaces like that because because I've never

1:12:36.040 --> 1:12:38.320
<v Speaker 1>had to work in those spaces. You can't talk to

1:12:38.320 --> 1:12:39.960
<v Speaker 1>me any kind of way because of how I view

1:12:40.040 --> 1:12:42.160
<v Speaker 1>myself and how I treat myself. So and I know

1:12:42.520 --> 1:12:44.519
<v Speaker 1>sometimes in corporate you have to put your head down.

1:12:44.560 --> 1:12:47.320
<v Speaker 1>You have to take it because it's your livelihood. And

1:12:47.360 --> 1:12:49.639
<v Speaker 1>then people speak and you can't get another job here.

1:12:49.760 --> 1:12:52.160
<v Speaker 1>You can't get a job there because somebody has sput

1:12:52.160 --> 1:12:54.280
<v Speaker 1>out a bad word about you. That happens in entertainment

1:12:54.320 --> 1:12:57.040
<v Speaker 1>as well. I want you, but it's very different. So

1:12:57.120 --> 1:12:59.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to. I don't know that, but I

1:12:59.280 --> 1:13:01.960
<v Speaker 1>would be I would be mortified. If I'm on this

1:13:02.080 --> 1:13:04.920
<v Speaker 1>job twenty years. I've trained everyone up under me. But

1:13:04.960 --> 1:13:07.280
<v Speaker 1>because I don't have a college degree, or because I'm

1:13:07.280 --> 1:13:09.720
<v Speaker 1>not highly educated, or don't speak on the level that

1:13:09.800 --> 1:13:11.439
<v Speaker 1>you think that I should speak of, even though I've

1:13:11.439 --> 1:13:14.400
<v Speaker 1>been doing this job successfully for twenty years, you bringing

1:13:14.400 --> 1:13:18.839
<v Speaker 1>somebody younger because they have more qualifications on paper, on paper,

1:13:19.240 --> 1:13:22.000
<v Speaker 1>not skilled, not experienced, because you can't buy that. You

1:13:22.040 --> 1:13:24.639
<v Speaker 1>can't buy that, but you give them a higher position

1:13:24.640 --> 1:13:26.400
<v Speaker 1>than me, and so now they become my bus. I

1:13:26.400 --> 1:13:28.360
<v Speaker 1>would have a problem with this bitch coming in here

1:13:28.520 --> 1:13:31.200
<v Speaker 1>being my boss because she got an HBCU and I

1:13:31.240 --> 1:13:34.280
<v Speaker 1>ain't got jack and I know niggas playing niggas at HBCU.

1:13:34.320 --> 1:13:35.880
<v Speaker 1>I ain't got a degree from, but I got some

1:13:35.920 --> 1:13:38.240
<v Speaker 1>other things from. But she's gonna get more money than me.

1:13:38.720 --> 1:13:41.320
<v Speaker 1>I would have a problem with that. That's seriously I think.

1:13:41.360 --> 1:13:43.479
<v Speaker 1>Also in the area of entertainment, you and I have

1:13:43.520 --> 1:13:47.080
<v Speaker 1>talked personally about how we have seen different shows and venues,

1:13:47.720 --> 1:13:49.720
<v Speaker 1>the different brunches that we used to go to. They

1:13:49.720 --> 1:13:52.439
<v Speaker 1>will hire girls who have done different shows. Um, and

1:13:52.479 --> 1:13:55.000
<v Speaker 1>then we're sitting there as audience members watching the show

1:13:55.160 --> 1:13:57.280
<v Speaker 1>during our best to stay away until you come on

1:13:57.280 --> 1:14:01.000
<v Speaker 1>the stage. But because you have not done that show, uh,

1:14:01.080 --> 1:14:04.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, people are like, well, you know they've done

1:14:04.360 --> 1:14:07.599
<v Speaker 1>that show. They're amazing, and then they realize whoa then

1:14:07.760 --> 1:14:09.920
<v Speaker 1>in real life isn't the same thing. I just watched

1:14:09.920 --> 1:14:12.439
<v Speaker 1>them edit for that TV show that I may have

1:14:12.479 --> 1:14:17.760
<v Speaker 1>been watching like we have different We've had this, We've

1:14:17.800 --> 1:14:20.000
<v Speaker 1>had I'm gonna say it because Flame and I've had

1:14:20.000 --> 1:14:22.960
<v Speaker 1>this conversation. That's the other thing that just goes back

1:14:23.000 --> 1:14:27.120
<v Speaker 1>to checking somebody's resume because to what you just said,

1:14:27.160 --> 1:14:29.760
<v Speaker 1>For instance, Nick, you should know that live theater and

1:14:29.800 --> 1:14:31.800
<v Speaker 1>television is not the same thing. And if you don't

1:14:31.800 --> 1:14:34.080
<v Speaker 1>know that that that's just ignorance and you haven't done

1:14:34.080 --> 1:14:36.080
<v Speaker 1>your homework. So that's the first thing that I'll say.

1:14:36.120 --> 1:14:40.320
<v Speaker 1>That's really just I mean, my skin crawl anyway. Um. Sorry,

1:14:40.360 --> 1:14:43.559
<v Speaker 1>But but to honestly, all of what we're talking about though,

1:14:44.000 --> 1:14:45.840
<v Speaker 1>it's it's just it is what it is now, you know,

1:14:46.080 --> 1:14:48.439
<v Speaker 1>like Flames said, I am do have an HBCU degree,

1:14:48.520 --> 1:14:51.680
<v Speaker 1>even though it's becoming more critically acclaimed now, Once upon

1:14:51.720 --> 1:14:54.720
<v Speaker 1>a time having a degree from an HBCU was saying that,

1:14:54.880 --> 1:14:57.679
<v Speaker 1>oh you didn't actually get a real education. So it's

1:14:57.720 --> 1:15:00.919
<v Speaker 1>interesting to see how times change and how things you know, evolved.

1:15:01.400 --> 1:15:04.479
<v Speaker 1>But to everything that you guys are saying, it's it's

1:15:04.640 --> 1:15:06.880
<v Speaker 1>that is not the situation anymore in the workplace. It's

1:15:06.920 --> 1:15:10.160
<v Speaker 1>just not things evolved people, it's just changing, you know.

1:15:10.240 --> 1:15:12.280
<v Speaker 1>Lauren I want to piggyback off of that. And the

1:15:12.280 --> 1:15:14.000
<v Speaker 1>only reason I want to stop that because we never

1:15:14.000 --> 1:15:16.200
<v Speaker 1>know who's listening. And I just want to say this

1:15:16.439 --> 1:15:18.960
<v Speaker 1>one thing. I grew up with hbc U S This

1:15:19.040 --> 1:15:23.040
<v Speaker 1>was always the case, um that everyone I knew who

1:15:23.040 --> 1:15:26.639
<v Speaker 1>attended an HBCU always made sure you knew they went

1:15:26.680 --> 1:15:29.000
<v Speaker 1>to an HBCU. That there is a pride that comes

1:15:29.000 --> 1:15:32.920
<v Speaker 1>with attending an HBCU. That I mean, I love, I

1:15:33.040 --> 1:15:35.720
<v Speaker 1>love the school I went to. Everybody's college experience is

1:15:35.800 --> 1:15:40.320
<v Speaker 1>unique to them. But relatives of mine who went to Shaw,

1:15:40.439 --> 1:15:42.760
<v Speaker 1>who went to North Carolina A and T or went

1:15:42.840 --> 1:15:45.760
<v Speaker 1>to more House, the first thing that came out of

1:15:45.800 --> 1:15:49.160
<v Speaker 1>their mouth was reminding you that they went to an HBCU.

1:15:49.240 --> 1:15:52.679
<v Speaker 1>Because I do think that HBCUs are unique in uh

1:15:52.960 --> 1:15:56.640
<v Speaker 1>instilling in their students the value of their education and

1:15:56.680 --> 1:15:59.600
<v Speaker 1>the value of community. So I don't know that it

1:16:00.120 --> 1:16:02.080
<v Speaker 1>ever did not have shine. I think that what has

1:16:02.120 --> 1:16:06.360
<v Speaker 1>happened is different. UH fortune par un companies have recognized

1:16:06.400 --> 1:16:09.559
<v Speaker 1>the value and the work ethic that those who are

1:16:09.560 --> 1:16:13.559
<v Speaker 1>graduates from HBCUs bring. That they that they are extremely

1:16:13.600 --> 1:16:17.000
<v Speaker 1>driven and tend to be extremely competitive, whereas others kind

1:16:17.040 --> 1:16:19.200
<v Speaker 1>of float on. Well, you know, I want to you

1:16:19.240 --> 1:16:21.320
<v Speaker 1>know I did. I did my graduate work at Harvard,

1:16:21.560 --> 1:16:23.960
<v Speaker 1>so you are just in by proxy. And do you realize,

1:16:23.960 --> 1:16:26.680
<v Speaker 1>oh wow, any idiot can get a degree. Well, let

1:16:26.680 --> 1:16:29.160
<v Speaker 1>me just clarify a couple of things. One amongst us,

1:16:29.400 --> 1:16:31.960
<v Speaker 1>it's always been a pride going to an HBCU. I

1:16:32.000 --> 1:16:34.880
<v Speaker 1>always say there's no place like Spellman. There really isn't.

1:16:35.000 --> 1:16:37.479
<v Speaker 1>And everybody's going to say that about their individual HBCU.

1:16:37.560 --> 1:16:40.400
<v Speaker 1>That's just that's their experience. But I would just say

1:16:40.520 --> 1:16:42.800
<v Speaker 1>s Woman is a number one HPCU in the country.

1:16:42.840 --> 1:16:47.200
<v Speaker 1>But anyway, um, but because because of Howard grad and

1:16:47.240 --> 1:16:49.439
<v Speaker 1>he will remind you, oh, Nick, you know you do

1:16:49.520 --> 1:16:54.600
<v Speaker 1>know the center of the universe revolves wrong? How is

1:16:54.640 --> 1:17:01.320
<v Speaker 1>the hot spot right now? Because Vice President elect came

1:17:01.479 --> 1:17:05.040
<v Speaker 1>from spell But anyway, but back to what you were saying, Nick,

1:17:05.120 --> 1:17:08.080
<v Speaker 1>is though, it's that it's the outside world. And I

1:17:08.080 --> 1:17:10.640
<v Speaker 1>hope everybody understands what I mean by outside world is

1:17:10.720 --> 1:17:15.759
<v Speaker 1>understanding now just how competitive to your point, and how

1:17:15.880 --> 1:17:19.240
<v Speaker 1>really difficult it is to matriculate through an HBCU. It's

1:17:19.280 --> 1:17:22.000
<v Speaker 1>not like we're getting a pass or you know, it's

1:17:22.000 --> 1:17:24.920
<v Speaker 1>it's an easier time. More so to the point where

1:17:25.280 --> 1:17:27.559
<v Speaker 1>some of these white folks and their parents are like, well,

1:17:27.600 --> 1:17:29.519
<v Speaker 1>maybe I can just send you there because maybe I

1:17:29.560 --> 1:17:31.080
<v Speaker 1>can pay a little less than what I have to

1:17:31.120 --> 1:17:33.760
<v Speaker 1>pay a Harvard or a Stanford, and you get that

1:17:33.800 --> 1:17:36.439
<v Speaker 1>same education and you come out and you're a part

1:17:36.479 --> 1:17:38.519
<v Speaker 1>of something else. So it looks like you're you what

1:17:38.680 --> 1:17:42.519
<v Speaker 1>I support diversity and inclusion. So that's really what's happening

1:17:42.560 --> 1:17:44.559
<v Speaker 1>now too, is you know, some of these white folks

1:17:44.560 --> 1:17:46.240
<v Speaker 1>are getting a little smart and like, oh, maybe I

1:17:46.240 --> 1:17:48.360
<v Speaker 1>can send my kids to an HC. That realized it's

1:17:48.360 --> 1:17:50.120
<v Speaker 1>a more degree. Some of the white folks are just

1:17:50.200 --> 1:17:53.559
<v Speaker 1>buying the tests and getting caught later. Laurie what was

1:17:53.560 --> 1:17:55.920
<v Speaker 1>her name who just got out of jail. Oh yeah,

1:17:55.960 --> 1:17:57.439
<v Speaker 1>I'm just saying, because I was going to pack my

1:17:57.479 --> 1:17:59.639
<v Speaker 1>key is the college degree. But the wife folks didn't

1:17:59.680 --> 1:18:04.680
<v Speaker 1>got caught, So the jig is up because you know what, actually,

1:18:04.960 --> 1:18:06.920
<v Speaker 1>let me let me let me jump on you with that,

1:18:07.160 --> 1:18:09.800
<v Speaker 1>because your children are smart enough they won't need you

1:18:09.880 --> 1:18:12.599
<v Speaker 1>to buy them. You know, I think I think people

1:18:12.640 --> 1:18:16.000
<v Speaker 1>think your kids um are as ghetto as I am.

1:18:16.479 --> 1:18:22.320
<v Speaker 1>I didn't say that. I know you Rosetta get your baby,

1:18:22.320 --> 1:18:25.040
<v Speaker 1>get your side. I never went to college because you know,

1:18:25.080 --> 1:18:27.160
<v Speaker 1>I was doing other things. Although I didn't have a

1:18:27.200 --> 1:18:29.880
<v Speaker 1>four year scholarship to Throne Cookman in Florida when I

1:18:29.920 --> 1:18:32.160
<v Speaker 1>graduated high school for music, because a lot of people

1:18:32.160 --> 1:18:34.920
<v Speaker 1>don't know I was a talent, very talented musician, probably

1:18:34.960 --> 1:18:36.599
<v Speaker 1>why I love music so much. And if y'all join

1:18:36.640 --> 1:18:39.479
<v Speaker 1>me on Loveland jealousy, why But I didn't want to

1:18:39.479 --> 1:18:41.479
<v Speaker 1>go to college because I didn't have that support system

1:18:41.479 --> 1:18:42.800
<v Speaker 1>at home my mom. You know, my mom was on

1:18:42.880 --> 1:18:44.439
<v Speaker 1>drugs and doing her things, so I didn't have that

1:18:44.479 --> 1:18:47.000
<v Speaker 1>support system at home, so that was not for me.

1:18:47.200 --> 1:18:49.519
<v Speaker 1>But I love to encourage people to go to college

1:18:49.520 --> 1:18:52.439
<v Speaker 1>and get that college life, but there isn't even college

1:18:52.479 --> 1:18:55.200
<v Speaker 1>life right now because of COVID. They're doing it from home,

1:18:55.320 --> 1:18:57.680
<v Speaker 1>from school, from their being rooms. I'm not I'm not

1:18:57.720 --> 1:19:00.760
<v Speaker 1>spending money on that. Uh, I'm not doing that. If

1:19:00.840 --> 1:19:02.920
<v Speaker 1>the luxury of sitting your kids away to college is

1:19:02.920 --> 1:19:04.280
<v Speaker 1>to get them the hell out your house so you

1:19:04.280 --> 1:19:07.160
<v Speaker 1>can walk through your house, I'm not doing that. I

1:19:07.200 --> 1:19:08.960
<v Speaker 1>would like to walk through my house naked, but if

1:19:09.000 --> 1:19:11.559
<v Speaker 1>I can't see me naked, they will be like Baron Trump,

1:19:11.680 --> 1:19:17.280
<v Speaker 1>special Sauce. I just want to say thank you guys

1:19:17.280 --> 1:19:19.400
<v Speaker 1>for a supporting show. We're doing very well in the

1:19:19.520 --> 1:19:21.479
<v Speaker 1>ratings with Heart and Amazon, and we thank you for that.

1:19:21.520 --> 1:19:23.760
<v Speaker 1>It's only because of you all. We also want to

1:19:23.800 --> 1:19:26.880
<v Speaker 1>acknowledge that this this this last four years have been

1:19:26.880 --> 1:19:29.680
<v Speaker 1>a real shaky time in this country. I do think

1:19:29.720 --> 1:19:32.439
<v Speaker 1>that we can get back not to basic, but with

1:19:32.600 --> 1:19:35.680
<v Speaker 1>Nicholas pushing the whole constitution, I think that they're not

1:19:35.680 --> 1:19:38.719
<v Speaker 1>going to rewrite the constitution, but they will actually include

1:19:38.800 --> 1:19:42.200
<v Speaker 1>us into the constitution because I felt very excluded, like

1:19:42.360 --> 1:19:44.439
<v Speaker 1>as a people, and I'm talking about black people, so

1:19:44.479 --> 1:19:47.040
<v Speaker 1>hopefully they will. Because all we want is fairness. We

1:19:47.080 --> 1:19:49.200
<v Speaker 1>want to be treated equally. We want to be given

1:19:49.200 --> 1:19:51.160
<v Speaker 1>a fair shake. We're not asking for your hand outs.

1:19:51.240 --> 1:19:53.160
<v Speaker 1>We will we work, We do what we're supposed to do.

1:19:53.280 --> 1:19:54.960
<v Speaker 1>We just was trd of work. Have me picking the

1:19:55.040 --> 1:19:56.880
<v Speaker 1>kind and sh don't even like like that my dress

1:19:56.920 --> 1:20:03.439
<v Speaker 1>any So honestly, we just want, we want to get

1:20:03.439 --> 1:20:05.759
<v Speaker 1>back to some sense of normalcy in the world. Because

1:20:05.720 --> 1:20:08.000
<v Speaker 1>I tell my children, because they hate to zoom school,

1:20:08.080 --> 1:20:11.320
<v Speaker 1>that y'all didn't fail school. The school system, the world

1:20:11.360 --> 1:20:14.000
<v Speaker 1>failed you. All the world this world. This America has

1:20:14.240 --> 1:20:18.080
<v Speaker 1>been failed their children seriously with the school systems and

1:20:18.080 --> 1:20:20.240
<v Speaker 1>what they're missing out and so many people out of working.

1:20:20.680 --> 1:20:22.840
<v Speaker 1>American has failed us, America. You always to make it

1:20:22.880 --> 1:20:24.719
<v Speaker 1>back up to us. And we're hoping that Joe Biden

1:20:24.760 --> 1:20:27.040
<v Speaker 1>and Kamala Harris can be the two people that can

1:20:27.120 --> 1:20:30.000
<v Speaker 1>help mend this gap between this broken America because these

1:20:30.080 --> 1:20:32.479
<v Speaker 1>racism am not gonna do it. They these racists wanted

1:20:32.560 --> 1:20:35.599
<v Speaker 1>to be just what it was, a nice, racist, divided country.

1:20:35.880 --> 1:20:37.760
<v Speaker 1>Were better than that, y'all. We are more like than

1:20:37.800 --> 1:20:39.840
<v Speaker 1>we are different. It just don't look like that right now.

1:20:39.880 --> 1:20:41.920
<v Speaker 1>But we're gonna fix it. And I mean, and that

1:20:42.000 --> 1:20:44.640

1:20:51.160 --> 1:20:53.320
