So 0:02:46.760 --> 0:02:48.720 you're making it work. We're making it work. That's what 0:02:48.760 --> 0:02:51.680 we do. You know. It's almost like mother Voucher has 0:02:51.760 --> 0:02:53.519 left and now we have keys to the house that 0:02:53.600 --> 0:02:55.919 we can just run wild. Right.

So I have 0:03:01.600 --> 0:03:04.200 to say, this is very different. I don't know this 0:03:04.280 --> 0:03:07.720 is It's just funny seeing you've gotten smaller. See the 0:03:07.760 --> 0:03:10.399 screen you're on the smaller screen. Now when we still 0:03:10.400 --> 0:03:13.880 get the same personality, are we are we having way 0:03:13.960 --> 0:03:19.960 issues to your what what do you mean about?

Identified as laughing her today, but I'm 0:03:28.360 --> 0:03:34.240 feeling quite love loungesh. The eyes is telling the story 0:03:34.280 --> 0:03:35.920 for you, so you don't even have to say anything 0:03:36.320 --> 0:03:41.800 as love lounges, love lounges.

And we 0:03:44.320 --> 0:03:47.120 appreciate her and we're sending her support from across the miles. 0:03:47.520 --> 0:03:48.920 You know, we had a lot of things we were 0:03:48.960 --> 0:03:50.720 talking about this week. I think we should just go 0:03:50.720 --> 0:03:52.760 ahead and jump on in and get started there right 0:03:55.520 --> 0:03:57.920 happy Monday, you know. One of the things we always 0:03:57.920 --> 0:03:59.440 do as we start off with things that have kind 0:03:59.480 --> 0:04:01.640 of like impact acted us this week or whatever. And 0:04:01.680 --> 0:04:04.480 I sent you all, uh this earlier because I think 0:04:04.520 --> 0:04:06.960 I want to give a shout out to Kim Janey. 0:04:07.280 --> 0:04:10.400 Kim Janey, for those who may or may not know, 0:04:10.440 --> 0:04:14.760 it's now like the first African American woman to be 0:04:14.880 --> 0:04:18.080 mayor for the city of Boston, So that is just 0:04:18.200 --> 0:04:21.200 huge I just thought that was fantastic. Black girl magic, 0:04:21.240 --> 0:04:24.240 we are taking over. She didn't wait it, but but 0:04:24.440 --> 0:04:27.120 she was moved into that position. It don't matter how 0:04:27.160 --> 0:04:32.000 we get there, we get there exactly. Representation matters, black 0:04:32.040 --> 0:04:35.719 girl magic matters. Let's talk about that. I know all 0:04:35.760 --> 0:04:46.279 about that bad plame. There's nobody there, Flamed to touch you, 0:04:46.520 --> 0:04:48.320 to see if you smell good, because we don't know 0:04:48.360 --> 0:04:56.000 how you smell today. I gotta touch you virtually. Listen 0:04:57.320 --> 0:04:59.760 to all this drama we got going on in this country. 0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:01.800 I want to say, I hope you guys had a 0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:04.920 chance to watch the Tenda turn of documentary over this weekend. 0:05:05.000 --> 0:05:08.440 It was so fantastic and so moving. And when I 0:05:08.560 --> 0:05:11.120 tell you that miss Tina is living like the grand 0:05:11.200 --> 0:05:14.880 queen that she is, oh my god. It was home 0:05:15.000 --> 0:05:18.960 is beautiful, The story gap beautiful even through all the 0:05:19.320 --> 0:05:21.640 Ya gotta watch it. It was very entertaining. And then 0:05:21.720 --> 0:05:24.320 a fat pretty bitch continuing pictures that would be me, 0:05:24.839 --> 0:05:28.360 uh yeah, yeah, yeah, watch it, And I will say 0:05:28.400 --> 0:05:30.880 those pictures look quite lovely, those pictures. If you are 0:05:30.880 --> 0:05:32.480 the wonder what Flame is talking about there on her 0:05:32.720 --> 0:05:34.599 I g page, So take a look at those pictures 0:05:34.640 --> 0:05:36.800 when you get a chance, and you'll see uh Tina 0:05:37.360 --> 0:05:45.400 in various forms. Did you watch it? I love the documentary. 0:05:45.440 --> 0:05:49.400 I learned some new things about miss Tina Turner. Um. 0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:52.240 I definitely recommend everybody go and watch it. Um. The 0:05:52.279 --> 0:05:54.000 thing that kind of shocked me the most off and 0:05:54.080 --> 0:05:56.240 just say this is when her son Craig said that 0:05:56.320 --> 0:05:59.000 I threw um scalding hot coffee on her and gave 0:05:59.040 --> 0:06:01.960 her third three burns. Listen, I'd have gone to jail 0:06:02.000 --> 0:06:05.880 for murder. But anyway, that was a different time. The 0:06:06.000 --> 0:06:10.039 Lauren I'm telling you women, not that it was more accepted, 0:06:10.320 --> 0:06:13.120 but it just it was like almost like commonplace and 0:06:13.240 --> 0:06:17.000 women just dealt with it. And you know, we say 0:06:17.080 --> 0:06:19.919 this now because the whole women's limperation, but it was 0:06:20.000 --> 0:06:21.919 just back the end, it was just and the you 0:06:21.920 --> 0:06:23.800 don't say nothing when you knew what was going on, 0:06:23.880 --> 0:06:26.280 You just kind of push it up under the rugs. 0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:29.440 It's shacked up. But now's too over. Everybody gotta meet 0:06:29.480 --> 0:06:33.440 too moving. Somebody touched me appropriate ship, Well, well I 0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:42.640 invite you, so, yes you are. You know it just 0:06:42.720 --> 0:06:45.200 it shows you again how time to change. It's fun. 0:06:45.200 --> 0:06:48.880 You would say that Lauren because the show Madman, there 0:06:48.960 --> 0:06:51.480 was a character who uh he was just you know, 0:06:51.520 --> 0:06:53.920 swab the lead of the lead character whatever. And I 0:06:53.960 --> 0:06:56.240 remember saying to my mom because he ended up wearing 0:06:56.279 --> 0:06:58.200 this girl who's so young and attractive, and I'm like, 0:06:58.480 --> 0:07:00.400 I just don't get that. She's like what I said, 0:07:00.560 --> 0:07:03.400 why would she marry him? He's like divorce and she's 0:07:03.480 --> 0:07:05.800 young and attractive, she has the world in front of her. 0:07:05.960 --> 0:07:08.919 She's like, well, Nick, women did that then? That that 0:07:09.000 --> 0:07:11.520 was he was considered a good catch. You you did 0:07:11.560 --> 0:07:14.640 things like that. Then women weren't always wanting to lead 0:07:14.680 --> 0:07:16.679 their own way and be their own person. They wanted 0:07:16.680 --> 0:07:20.800 to attach to someone Draper, Don Draper, somebody. He was 0:07:20.840 --> 0:07:22.640 supposed to be a good catch. And I'm like, the 0:07:22.680 --> 0:07:24.920 way you drink wow, okay, but but there you go, 0:07:25.080 --> 0:07:28.280 so well that listen that though, I can't understand though, 0:07:28.320 --> 0:07:31.920 because marriage, yes, the I feel like the love comes secondary. 0:07:32.000 --> 0:07:34.320 Marriage is a business contract first and foremost. If you 0:07:34.320 --> 0:07:36.720 want to get married, that's a business contract. So that Nick, 0:07:36.840 --> 0:07:40.280 I understand that it was the abuse. I just you know, 0:07:40.360 --> 0:07:42.000 but like Flames said, maybe it was a different time. 0:07:42.040 --> 0:07:45.840 Women are more liberated now and we're more outspoken. But listen, 0:07:45.880 --> 0:07:49.960 that's golden pot of coffee. That wasn't happening. That was 0:07:50.120 --> 0:07:53.160 happening with Lord. Like notice you can and you can 0:07:53.200 --> 0:07:55.320 see the rules on one. I think it's on hard 0:07:55.600 --> 0:07:58.040 right maybe right on. You can see the actual rules 0:07:58.080 --> 0:07:59.960 on her arm because she showed it, young man. Why 0:08:00.000 --> 0:08:02.880 shouldn't the documented I love the fact that Tinag is 0:08:02.920 --> 0:08:06.560 still alive and we heard these words from Tina. It 0:08:06.720 --> 0:08:09.600 wasn't somebody telling her story as she happened on. I 0:08:09.640 --> 0:08:13.400 wish more people at a certain age, you know, would 0:08:13.800 --> 0:08:16.520 start telling their own stories because it just it reads 0:08:16.640 --> 0:08:19.560 better to me. Flame. I'm glad you said that because 0:08:19.720 --> 0:08:21.280 that's the same thing you. You know, you and I 0:08:21.320 --> 0:08:23.720 both like Diana, I would love for ms Ross to 0:08:23.760 --> 0:08:25.400 tell her own stirl. We've read a lot of things 0:08:25.480 --> 0:08:27.720 about Ms Ross. I would love for her to tell 0:08:27.760 --> 0:08:30.680 her own story about Is it true that you know 0:08:30.720 --> 0:08:32.959 people couldn't look her in the eye and things like that, 0:08:33.000 --> 0:08:35.720 Like I can't believe that's who she is, but I 0:08:35.800 --> 0:08:37.840 do believe that like Aretha, like you and I talked 0:08:37.840 --> 0:08:40.080 about Flame, she knew who she was, She knew the 0:08:40.080 --> 0:08:43.120 power she brought into the room, and probably demanded that 0:08:43.240 --> 0:08:46.160 respect from you, like, you're not just gonna yo, Diana. No, wait, 0:08:46.200 --> 0:08:48.360 wait a minute, you will say ms Ross. You know 0:08:48.400 --> 0:08:58.199 that type of thing. That's just Detroit, baby Detroit. Let 0:08:58.200 --> 0:09:00.480 me tell you. I was, I was having you. I'm 0:09:00.520 --> 0:09:03.079 having a good vacation. Of course, I'm in a hotel room. 0:09:03.160 --> 0:09:06.160 I turned on the TV. I turned on news. What's 0:09:06.240 --> 0:09:10.880 only here last today? Two things. One is so we're 0:09:10.880 --> 0:09:13.040 gonna get serious about career. But the first one was 0:09:13.080 --> 0:09:17.480 about this whole Fauci verche ship coming out after the fact. 0:09:17.880 --> 0:09:19.800 I see it from jump. Don't throw the back and 0:09:19.920 --> 0:09:22.040 have your hand when you I had a position to 0:09:22.080 --> 0:09:25.120 say something to say some people, you should have said something. 0:09:25.440 --> 0:09:27.760 I don't want to know fave hundred thousand deaths later, 0:09:28.080 --> 0:09:31.760 I don't keep it. That was just lift service. I 0:09:31.800 --> 0:09:36.120 ain't band it. Yeah, that's a that's a touchy subject 0:09:36.160 --> 0:09:39.280 for sure, though. But I think I think in a 0:09:39.320 --> 0:09:41.240 lot of ways, a lot of people are gonna find 0:09:41.320 --> 0:09:44.480 fault with Dr Fauci and Deborah Berks for the simple 0:09:44.520 --> 0:09:46.600 fact that they felt like they knew they had the 0:09:46.679 --> 0:09:50.560 information and they didn't correct Trump. But we've talked about 0:09:50.559 --> 0:09:52.240 this on this show too. When it came to Trump. 0:09:52.320 --> 0:09:54.520 You know, he had a lot of blackmail on people 0:09:54.720 --> 0:09:57.800 and different things to you know, whatever the situation was 0:09:57.840 --> 0:10:01.120 as to why people chose not to speak out against him. 0:10:01.200 --> 0:10:03.080 So I think that's probably something that's going to follow 0:10:03.080 --> 0:10:04.920 them the rest of their career. At this point is 0:10:04.920 --> 0:10:06.600 people are just gonna feel like they didn't share enough 0:10:06.600 --> 0:10:09.360 information and they knew better. I think two things with that, Lauren. 0:10:09.400 --> 0:10:13.600 I think uh Fauci once again has an opportunity to 0:10:13.640 --> 0:10:17.080 rewrite his narrative because he's still in it makes sense, 0:10:17.360 --> 0:10:20.280 and he led the nation through the whole AIDS pandemic, 0:10:20.360 --> 0:10:24.840 so he has he has like um equity built in. No, 0:10:26.360 --> 0:10:29.080 he was the one who was pushing a d killing them. 0:10:30.200 --> 0:10:32.400 I was right there with you, Nick, Oh, I was 0:10:32.520 --> 0:10:35.199 right there with you. If you remember. He was also 0:10:35.280 --> 0:10:37.440 the only one who would meet with Act up, you know, 0:10:37.640 --> 0:10:39.880 like they were trying to get an audience, and so 0:10:40.120 --> 0:10:42.560 he was trying anything that they could but I didn't 0:10:42.600 --> 0:10:54.640 want Again he did. Still nothing has changed. I will 0:10:54.679 --> 0:10:56.679 say this, Nick, being that I do work for an 0:10:56.720 --> 0:10:59.880 aide organization. A lot of people that I work with 0:11:00.400 --> 0:11:03.400 are not fans of Fauci, who were who were entrenched 0:11:03.400 --> 0:11:06.880 in the AIDS movement because it's like the ground in 0:11:06.920 --> 0:11:09.200 the beginning. Yeah, but they're still not a fan of 0:11:09.280 --> 0:11:11.319 him to this day because of what he did around 0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:14.120 the AIDS, around the AIDS movement, especially the AIDS pandemic 0:11:14.120 --> 0:11:17.800 in terms of you know, providing accurate information and a 0:11:17.960 --> 0:11:20.280 Z T and all these different things. So Flame is right, 0:11:20.360 --> 0:11:21.839 That's all I'm gonna say in terms of a lot 0:11:21.840 --> 0:11:25.800 of AIDS activists don't, aren't friends, are aren't, aren't fond 0:11:25.800 --> 0:11:28.000 of Dr Fauci. I'll say that. So I'm gonna go 0:11:28.040 --> 0:11:30.520 ahead jump on the Flames said, uh, you know, we 0:11:30.559 --> 0:11:32.920 were talking about Dr Bricks and and found you of course. 0:11:33.160 --> 0:11:36.440 But Flame, you've often said this to every time you 0:11:36.480 --> 0:11:38.760 say something, somebody else comes right behind it and kind 0:11:38.760 --> 0:11:41.000 of echoes what you said. And you said, there's there's 0:11:41.120 --> 0:11:44.480 not heck wrong with me. I just look like this, right, 0:11:44.840 --> 0:11:49.679 So I just look like I get your ship wrong 0:11:49.760 --> 0:11:52.760 with me. I just look like this working. Sometimes it 0:11:52.840 --> 0:11:55.280 don't be working when it's opposed to, but it always works. 0:11:55.559 --> 0:11:58.760 And I don't forget. You're also never a fan of 0:11:58.880 --> 0:12:03.080 Jerome Adams. So Jerome Adams tweeted this morning fascinating to 0:12:03.120 --> 0:12:06.360 see zero support for Dr Bricks, the lone female doc 0:12:06.440 --> 0:12:09.880 in the room, even among women solo. Dada Bright immediately 0:12:09.960 --> 0:12:12.679 jumped on him and said, leadership was tested in this 0:12:12.720 --> 0:12:16.680 pandemic and many many people failed. It does not take 0:12:16.720 --> 0:12:19.679 courage to give support to allowing narcissist. This is b 0:12:19.960 --> 0:12:23.160 s and you know it. Goodbye, Dr Adams. It's like 0:12:23.360 --> 0:12:25.160 I said for him, did you write that? And tell 0:12:25.280 --> 0:12:28.120 so let me tell something. Let me tell you something. 0:12:28.280 --> 0:12:31.120 My general character sometimes to be a little off. I 0:12:31.160 --> 0:12:33.679 think it'd be had for the most part. I mean 0:12:33.760 --> 0:12:35.840 I can I can tell it. I've been around too 0:12:35.920 --> 0:12:39.400 many mustlers. I know you can smell it. I'm telling you, 0:12:39.679 --> 0:12:42.400 and the obvious. Sometimes it's right there in our face 0:12:42.400 --> 0:12:45.079 and we just had to open ass and see it. Well, 0:12:45.160 --> 0:12:47.760 I just came bad. There's no trust for me there. 0:12:48.640 --> 0:12:51.440 And I did trust the science on the whole vaccine, 0:12:51.480 --> 0:12:53.880 but I never trusted the politics. They made it political 0:12:54.200 --> 0:12:56.040 any who. We don't get on that. So that was 0:12:56.080 --> 0:12:58.440 the one of the things you would come about. Number two. 0:12:58.640 --> 0:13:02.280 I turned on the news and remember last week when 0:13:02.280 --> 0:13:05.000 I stayed, sometimes I don't want to put things, invite 0:13:05.040 --> 0:13:07.320 them into my psyche into my DNA. I hate to, 0:13:07.559 --> 0:13:11.120 you know. I thought I had the feelings of watching 0:13:11.280 --> 0:13:14.200 George Floyd murder in our eyes. I thought those feelings 0:13:14.200 --> 0:13:17.800 and we had substidy, and then I watched this this morning, 0:13:17.920 --> 0:13:20.760 and it just like somebody just opened up the wound 0:13:20.880 --> 0:13:23.880 fresh and poured some fucking alcohol on it, and it 0:13:23.960 --> 0:13:28.240 hurt all over again. And and the and the hypocrisies. 0:13:28.320 --> 0:13:30.439 I'm trying to push that he did for us some 0:13:30.640 --> 0:13:35.200 already ongoing issues, and I'm telling you, it's so scary, 0:13:35.320 --> 0:13:38.640 it's so crazy, and it's kind of unbelievable, Like I 0:13:38.679 --> 0:13:41.280 can't believe I'm actually living in this. This sounds like 0:13:41.320 --> 0:13:44.160 a ship that they wrote in a book that somebody thought, 0:13:44.240 --> 0:13:48.120 but we actually living in it right now. Is it 0:13:48.240 --> 0:13:51.440 hurts It just really did hurt me. It really seared 0:13:51.440 --> 0:13:55.600 me too, because I got teenagers that driving. Nick. Go ahead, 0:13:55.600 --> 0:13:57.360 I want to hear your thoughts before I say anything. 0:13:58.480 --> 0:14:00.480 Were kind of talking about this earlier, and we mentioned 0:14:00.480 --> 0:14:02.120 you earlier. I said, flame. You know, I think one 0:14:02.120 --> 0:14:05.800 of the reasons this resonates for us so much because Lauren, 0:14:05.840 --> 0:14:09.480 you're much younger than we are, so you weren't you 0:14:09.559 --> 0:14:12.960 weren't you know, you weren't moving in this space when 0:14:13.480 --> 0:14:15.960 we watched Rodney King. We watched that playout, and it 0:14:16.000 --> 0:14:17.960 seemed like, um, and I know, you know, the history, 0:14:18.000 --> 0:14:19.720 that's not what I'm talking about as much as being 0:14:19.720 --> 0:14:22.560 there in the moment. So George Floyd, to me, it 0:14:23.080 --> 0:14:25.840 just seems like, I don't know, it's it's it's it's 0:14:25.920 --> 0:14:28.880 it's gut wrenching. You know people often use that, uh, 0:14:28.920 --> 0:14:32.480 that term, I think rather you know, loosely, but I 0:14:32.480 --> 0:14:34.560 don't know how to describe it other than what Flame said. 0:14:34.600 --> 0:14:36.720 It's just it just it just pulls at you. Like 0:14:36.760 --> 0:14:40.160 how anybody can see this and not be torn or 0:14:40.200 --> 0:14:44.960 affected by it? I just don't know. Yeah, Um, I've 0:14:44.960 --> 0:14:48.640 been watching the trial all morning, and I agree with 0:14:48.680 --> 0:14:50.920 both of you guys. I think to have to continually 0:14:51.080 --> 0:14:53.680 one I'm more so my heart goes out to his 0:14:53.760 --> 0:14:56.480 family because the fact that they have to keep reliving 0:14:56.520 --> 0:15:01.600 this experience of you know, of his death, his kids, 0:15:01.720 --> 0:15:05.560 you know, his sister, Like, it's just I just don't 0:15:05.600 --> 0:15:07.640 have the words for it. You know, it's gonna be 0:15:07.720 --> 0:15:10.320 something that you know, it's gonna stay with them forever, 0:15:10.520 --> 0:15:13.960 and I just really I don't have the words for it. 0:15:14.000 --> 0:15:15.840 I just my my heart goes out to them. I'm 0:15:15.840 --> 0:15:19.200 gonna continue to pray for them. I hope that justice 0:15:19.240 --> 0:15:22.680 is served and we actually get a conviction stay home, 0:15:22.760 --> 0:15:25.040 because I'm sitting here seeing it in my head. I'm 0:15:25.120 --> 0:15:28.280 telling you out now. If they don't sense it's this 0:15:28.320 --> 0:15:31.080 man correctly, Oh my god. I just, oh my god, 0:15:31.280 --> 0:15:34.760 just the aftermath of it all because I'm like you, Lord, 0:15:34.840 --> 0:15:37.320 we we I had on my I didn't even have 0:15:37.400 --> 0:15:40.360 to have my glasses on to see a clear murder 0:15:40.360 --> 0:15:45.120 happening in my face. Yeah, exactly. It's murder at the 0:15:45.160 --> 0:15:46.880 end of the day. And I think that it's very 0:15:47.240 --> 0:15:50.280 um it's degrading to the fact that they're trying to 0:15:50.280 --> 0:15:53.280 shift the narrative like Flame said to where oh, he 0:15:53.360 --> 0:15:56.640 died from pre existing health conditions and a drug overdose, 0:15:56.720 --> 0:15:59.040 when that's not the case. It's also come out that 0:15:59.080 --> 0:16:02.400 he was actually being you know, forcefully knelt on for 0:16:02.520 --> 0:16:04.800 nine minutes and twenty nine seconds and not the original 0:16:04.840 --> 0:16:07.440 eight minutes and forty six seconds that we thought. And 0:16:07.520 --> 0:16:09.560 the fact that Derek Chauvin had his knee on his 0:16:09.640 --> 0:16:12.400 neck for an additional five minutes after he was even unconscious. 0:16:12.880 --> 0:16:16.880 So I hope that the system actually works in our 0:16:16.920 --> 0:16:19.960 favor for once. I also hope that if he is convicted, 0:16:20.360 --> 0:16:22.720 that he doesn't get an appeals process to the point 0:16:22.760 --> 0:16:25.320 where you know, he gets to be liberated or exonerated 0:16:25.360 --> 0:16:28.360 from his charges. And from what I'm reading to there's 0:16:28.400 --> 0:16:31.400 a lot of there's some people on the police department, 0:16:31.600 --> 0:16:34.720 for instance, that are going to be um testifying against 0:16:34.840 --> 0:16:39.320 Derek Chauvin. So I think that there's some hopeful glimpses 0:16:39.360 --> 0:16:41.400 of light in this trial. We'll see if how it 0:16:41.440 --> 0:16:44.160 actually plays out. But I hope that justice is served. 0:16:44.600 --> 0:16:47.520 And you know, at the end of this if riots 0:16:47.560 --> 0:16:50.280 do happen, I hope that, you know, I hope that 0:16:50.320 --> 0:16:52.120 doesn't happened. Let me just say that I hope that 0:16:52.160 --> 0:16:54.600 we are we're able to come to a peaceful conclusion 0:16:54.840 --> 0:16:56.680 at the end of the day. Because this family is hurting. 0:16:56.960 --> 0:17:00.080 That That's what I'll say, and and and and and 0:17:00.280 --> 0:17:01.920 all that I think us where one end with that 0:17:02.000 --> 0:17:04.760 that his family is hurting, and we need to um, 0:17:04.880 --> 0:17:08.879 we need to somehow have his death recognized as something 0:17:08.920 --> 0:17:13.000 that just cannot continue in its current uh, the way 0:17:13.160 --> 0:17:15.800 these things are happening more often than not and learn. 0:17:16.160 --> 0:17:17.760 And I know we want to move on, but I 0:17:17.760 --> 0:17:19.840 think what bothered me so much with all of that 0:17:19.960 --> 0:17:23.000 is people were screaming at him. Yo, dude, he can't breathe. 0:17:24.320 --> 0:17:27.520 People were watching you, and you just didn't care. You 0:17:27.600 --> 0:17:30.480 just didn't care. It was so anyway, we've all seen 0:17:30.520 --> 0:17:32.920 it so flame. I'm sorry that you are there alone 0:17:33.280 --> 0:17:36.000 feeling this right now, because I definitely understand how how 0:17:36.040 --> 0:17:42.560 difficult that that can be. You know, I'm good. Well, 0:17:42.600 --> 0:17:45.040 I think this is a good segue to Nick because 0:17:45.080 --> 0:17:47.560 something good did end up happening in New York. I know, 0:17:47.600 --> 0:17:49.719 I'm not may not be in order, but let's talk 0:17:49.760 --> 0:17:52.159 about qualified immunity. Because one of our flamets actually just 0:17:52.200 --> 0:17:55.280 sounded off in the comments about qualified immunity. So let's 0:17:55.280 --> 0:17:57.280 bring that topic to light. And what happened in New 0:17:57.359 --> 0:18:01.040 York City this past week qualified immunity. We're talking about, 0:18:01.040 --> 0:18:03.760 you guys. New York City limits qualified immunity making it 0:18:03.840 --> 0:18:07.600 easier to sue police for misconduct. And Lauren brought this 0:18:07.680 --> 0:18:10.120 subject up because we just felt like it was perfect 0:18:10.119 --> 0:18:12.120 for laugh and learn. We talk about these different things 0:18:12.119 --> 0:18:15.320 all the time. You know, many like to confuse the 0:18:15.400 --> 0:18:18.400 language of defund the police and and all of that 0:18:18.480 --> 0:18:21.920 where we're talking about police reform and how activists believe 0:18:22.040 --> 0:18:23.680 that there has to be a change in the way 0:18:23.720 --> 0:18:27.240 policing is done. New York City Council pass legislation aimed 0:18:27.240 --> 0:18:30.000 at reforming the New York Police Department by making it 0:18:30.040 --> 0:18:33.560 easier to sue police officers from misconduct. The Council last 0:18:33.600 --> 0:18:37.159 Thursday voted to limit qualified immunity, which became a focal 0:18:37.240 --> 0:18:41.520 point of the debate to reform policing across America last summer. Now, 0:18:41.600 --> 0:18:46.240 qualified immunity is defined as decades old like legal doctrine 0:18:46.280 --> 0:18:50.080 that often shields police officers in cases of excessive force 0:18:50.400 --> 0:18:55.280 or unreasonable search and seizure um. The newly passed legislation 0:18:55.280 --> 0:18:58.720 would allow victims of alleged police misconduct in New York 0:18:58.760 --> 0:19:01.880 City to bypas asked that and and bring a case 0:19:02.080 --> 0:19:04.760 for to be heard. So this is a big deal 0:19:05.080 --> 0:19:08.480 for people who have been fighting. It's huge, it's huge flame. 0:19:09.000 --> 0:19:11.600 I can't go ahead, I can't hear. It ain't gonna 0:19:11.600 --> 0:19:13.920 work for me. And today's size. Snatch the pensions that 0:19:14.000 --> 0:19:16.720 they gat to snatch the pensions, you start starting the 0:19:16.760 --> 0:19:19.160 pensions the police will take it more serious about all 0:19:19.160 --> 0:19:21.880 that abuse and ship they will because you ain't gonna 0:19:21.920 --> 0:19:23.560 tell me I didn't put twenty years in my life 0:19:23.560 --> 0:19:25.440 on the line for this, and now I'm gonna take 0:19:25.440 --> 0:19:28.440 it all the way because I because of a cram 0:19:28.520 --> 0:19:31.199 if somebody accused me of there, I think that the 0:19:31.240 --> 0:19:33.280 police course had to get more serious stie snats de 0:19:33.280 --> 0:19:36.399 pension and we take it seriously. I'm glad in that pass, 0:19:36.560 --> 0:19:39.600 but uh, it's gonna take a minute for the kick 0:19:39.680 --> 0:19:43.160 in a minute meaning about about ten fifteen years. Yeah, 0:19:43.240 --> 0:19:45.639 flame you right, there is that police pension in the 0:19:45.760 --> 0:19:48.080 union that is so strong because I think one of 0:19:48.119 --> 0:19:50.680 the other issues around this, Lauren, you and I've talked 0:19:50.680 --> 0:19:53.359 about this. I can leave one district and go right 0:19:53.440 --> 0:19:56.400 up the street to another. So yeah, those are things. Yeah, 0:19:56.440 --> 0:19:59.760 but go ahead. My thing is I think it's interesting 0:20:00.040 --> 0:20:03.360 at because historically, in a lot of senses, New York 0:20:03.400 --> 0:20:06.240 City Police Department has been one of the most racist 0:20:06.359 --> 0:20:09.040 and one of the most brutal I think in our country. 0:20:09.040 --> 0:20:12.400 And some may argue or disagree, but that's my opinion. Um. 0:20:12.480 --> 0:20:14.320 I also, my whole family, you know, grew up in 0:20:14.359 --> 0:20:16.520 New York, so I have a lot of conversations with 0:20:16.560 --> 0:20:19.080 family members just about what police were like from you know, 0:20:19.119 --> 0:20:22.880 like the my my my friends, and my great grandmother. 0:20:22.920 --> 0:20:25.919 She's a hundred and one, So imagine being born in 0:20:26.000 --> 0:20:28.120 nineteen twenty and just seeing all of these different things 0:20:28.160 --> 0:20:31.800 transpire from generations and generations. So I say that to say, 0:20:31.960 --> 0:20:34.760 I find it interesting that they're the first city to actually, 0:20:35.160 --> 0:20:39.480 you know, put this into some type of legislation and law. Um. 0:20:39.520 --> 0:20:42.200 I'm glad that they've done that, and I think that 0:20:42.480 --> 0:20:45.000 hopefully this is a starting point for the reform that 0:20:45.000 --> 0:20:48.560 we're talking about. Because we set on this platform, I 0:20:48.600 --> 0:20:51.880 personally am not an advocate of the whole defund the police, 0:20:52.400 --> 0:20:54.560 because I think that we still need forms of police. 0:20:54.600 --> 0:20:56.800 I think it's more so we have to be able 0:20:56.840 --> 0:21:00.720 to teach and reallocate, you know, for since there's people 0:21:00.720 --> 0:21:03.520 in London that have police officers that don't necessarily carry 0:21:03.560 --> 0:21:07.720 weapons and they're able to you know, disarm suspects and 0:21:07.720 --> 0:21:10.120 these sort of things without having to kill anybody. So 0:21:10.240 --> 0:21:12.199 I think that this is a nice first step, especially 0:21:12.240 --> 0:21:14.840 considering it's New York City and they just have an 0:21:14.880 --> 0:21:19.040 historical background of just being brutal, especially when it comes 0:21:19.080 --> 0:21:20.600 to people of color. So I think it's a good 0:21:20.600 --> 0:21:24.120 first step. Oh my god, I'm living at the Comments State, 0:21:24.240 --> 0:21:27.240 Nicholas and Lauren and people still talking about the whole 0:21:27.440 --> 0:21:31.080 m George story thing at Baby. I think y'all owe 0:21:31.160 --> 0:21:33.480 us one. It's about that time, don't you always wanted 0:21:33.600 --> 0:21:36.720 y'all and Gabor was wanting, oh ja, And technically y'all 0:21:36.720 --> 0:21:38.600 could have kept that one because we think it's the 0:21:38.640 --> 0:21:46.840 same thing. Y'all think we should we bring in a 0:21:46.880 --> 0:21:50.320
