Speaker 1: show today. You guys are the guests, so you guys
Speaker 1: will weigh in on the topics that we're going to
Speaker 1: talk about. We cannot get away from. It was a
Speaker 1: lot of slow week. Thank god that I'm back home.
Speaker 1: I went home to get close mate, because I'm coming
Speaker 1: for you stage. I see you guys. And when Tim Delaware,
Speaker 1: March twenty seventh and twenty eight. So you have not
Speaker 1: got your tickets in the House of Laughs. You need
Speaker 1: to because girl and guys, we're coming through. I ain't
Speaker 1: been on stage in the year, so let's see what
Speaker 1: I got outside of that. What's happening in the news,
Speaker 1: Lori hogan Um, It's been a lot of stuff happening
Speaker 1: in the news cycle this week. I think we've got
Speaker 1: a lot of topics before you get to I know
Speaker 1: what you're ready to talk about. But before we go there,
Speaker 1: let me let me go on the fence of my
Speaker 1: guy before we do that. Happy International, Happy International Women's Day.
Speaker 1: You know, we always acknowledge women on this page because
Speaker 1: we are on this platform, because we adore women over here.
Speaker 1: We do. Okay, but now you can go ahead. Sorry, okay,
Speaker 1: So we want to I want to acknowledge the fact
Speaker 1: that I know that the attack on Andrew Cuomo, I
Speaker 1: don't know personally here it has any validity, But I
Speaker 1: really feel the conspiracy of because he stood his ground
Speaker 1: about the whole coronavirus, the way he handled Indian or
Speaker 1: the way he stood up to the ref to the
Speaker 1: Republican administration. I think this is just retaliation on him.
Speaker 1: And I'm sorry here he may have inappropriately somebody on
Speaker 1: the shoulders or whatever, but y'all making it way more
Speaker 1: than what it is. And you're three year old sixty
Speaker 1: proposition you if you take the money, that ain't no trick.
Speaker 1: That is called a business trend. I'm just saying, because
Speaker 1: y'all all coming out against and Chris. They got a
Speaker 1: cap on Chris, because you know, Chris's gangster. Chris gonna
Speaker 1: say how he feels, but he can't. They got Chris
Speaker 1: on luck. He can't freestyle. He's very over protective of
Speaker 1: his family. Listen, UM, I'd like to say this. I
Speaker 1: it is International Women's Day, so we're not going to
Speaker 1: deny any woman's experience. But I think that the investigation
Speaker 1: should happen. Let let's shot James do her job. I
Speaker 1: don't think he needs to resign as of now. No,
Speaker 1: I don't agree with that because we've had several, you know,
Speaker 1: individuals on the other side of the ile case. In
Speaker 1: point Trump, he had the whole as Access Hollywood tape
Speaker 1: where he was, you know, blatantly admitting to sexually harassing women,
Speaker 1: and he still was able to keep you know, his
Speaker 1: seat and office, not comparing the two. I think that
Speaker 1: let the instigation happen because I think the one thing
Speaker 1: that Clomo is doing that others really having is he's apologizing.
Speaker 1: He's saying, if that's your experience, and if that's how
Speaker 1: I made you feel, I apologize. It wasn't my intent.
Speaker 1: So he's not necessarily admitting his wrong but I acknowledging
Speaker 1: the experience that these women have. I think it's very responsible,
Speaker 1: and he didn't it is wrong, But that apology was
Speaker 1: weak as a old lady's team baby. Well, oh, I
Speaker 1: saw that apology. It was like I'm reading, and what
Speaker 1: I did not like about it what it was that
Speaker 1: it made like they made him sing like they forced
Speaker 1: to me, it felt forced, because those Pomo will stand
Speaker 1: their ground and say how they feel that don't back down.
Speaker 1: But he is in a position where he does not
Speaker 1: want to not be the mayor of New York. I
Speaker 1: get I mean the governor of the saiding look and
Speaker 1: I get that. But just what you just said, that
Speaker 1: was a great point that you just said, and he
Speaker 1: said on his apology, y'all voted me in. I'm not
Speaker 1: stepping down. We said this about lower life but a
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, the country, the state of New
Speaker 1: York voted for Cuomo. So even if y'all got twenty
Speaker 1: five five thousand people that's upset with him, umb're not
Speaker 1: gonna outweigh who all voted for this man. So y'all
Speaker 1: need to just deal with it. I'm like, you know,
Speaker 1: let the investigation play out, pull out whatever stops, y'all
Speaker 1: gonna pull out because I'll know it's all a conspiracy scam.
Speaker 1: But I'm team Andrew Cuomo until it comes out, you know,
Speaker 1: And I'm sick of them all these women coming out now, child,
Speaker 1: they came out against Trump, and I'm like, you lo
Speaker 1: Trump to lose his job. So I don't know. I
Speaker 1: just think it's a very sticky situation and until proven guilty,
Speaker 1: I'm still team Andrew Cuomo. So yeah, I agree. I
Speaker 1: think that, you know, everybody is innocent until proven guilty.
Speaker 1: And I hate to go here, but I am a
Speaker 1: little skeptical because one woman that came out today is
Speaker 1: a known, you know, adversory of Cuomo. She and Cuomo
Speaker 1: had issues, and she came out today again not denying
Speaker 1: anybody's experience, just six you know, expressing my transparent thoughts.
Speaker 1: I'm a little skeptical about that. And then one accuser
Speaker 1: also said that, you know, she was sexually you know,
Speaker 1: harassed by Cuomo and one time he hugged her and
Speaker 1: she could tell he was aroused. And I was like, well, well,
Speaker 1: how could you tell? What does that mean? So I
Speaker 1: need a little more receipts, a little more you know,
Speaker 1: he had story he didn't have, He had a wood
Speaker 1: he laid upon. She know she liked it. I don't
Speaker 1: know why she's front. I don't know why she on
Speaker 1: front and just say, oh, I felt that monster on me.
Speaker 1: But if that's the situation, why don't you say that,
Speaker 1: why don't you say that? You know, I could felt that,
Speaker 1: you know, I felt he was you know, correct when
Speaker 1: he hugged me. She's saying, I can tell that he's aroused.
Speaker 1: Nothing that's touch touchy subject because as a person who
Speaker 1: can't get aroused and be standing, you know, because I
Speaker 1: know the difference between sticks and something, I'm a stick,
Speaker 1: not a song. Any who, he might have been aroused
Speaker 1: already and before he hugged her, and you know, from
Speaker 1: something else, and they just hugged at an inappropriate time,
Speaker 1: and she felt his erections. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: So I'm with you long and give us some more
Speaker 1: details about that, because he might not have been looking
Speaker 1: at your funny looking as he might have been looking
Speaker 1: at somebody else and you just was there to be
Speaker 1: hugged at that moment. So you were really the benefits
Speaker 1: of him looking at another woman. Yeah, I'm just and
Speaker 1: he said, you know to he was like, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm Italian. My family were very love eve, we were
Speaker 1: affectionate people. So he said, I never meant to make
Speaker 1: anybody feel uncomfortable. Again, I'm not denying any woman's experience.
Speaker 1: I think that it's great that people are coming forward.
Speaker 1: And I think it's also interesting too that Andrew Cuomo's
Speaker 1: at the forefront and all these GOP lawmakers are saying
Speaker 1: that he needs to step down in New York, but
Speaker 1: nobody's going after Jim Jordan's. Well, let me tell what
Speaker 1: I most admired about Andrew Cuomo. He back down from Yeah,
Speaker 1: every day he's talking about he's not avoiding it. He's
Speaker 1: not scared. He's standing. He putting in they holding his
Speaker 1: feet to the fire. He's saying, burn me because I'm
Speaker 1: coming with it. That's what I respect the most about it. Uh,
Speaker 1: y'all wait in on this. What y'all think, especially if
Speaker 1: you're in New York or in that area. Y'all, y'all
Speaker 1: let us know what y'all think. Because I'm sorry, I'm
Speaker 1: still team Cuomo. Because Lauren wants to talk about I said,
Speaker 1: make sure you watched the CBS interview because it's gonna
Speaker 1: be deep. I saw the trailer, So what did you
Speaker 1: think about it? I think my black Girl magic joke
Speaker 1: still works to this day. That Ms Megan Marco got
Speaker 1: the whoop and she had hooked her a prince. That
Speaker 1: is so good that he said he only want to
Speaker 1: be a prince. No, Mo, that's when you know it's fire.
Speaker 1: I love that Harry still about his wife. And I
Speaker 1: love that Harry experienced what happened to his mother and
Speaker 1: he didn't say it to us per se, but the
Speaker 1: insinuations of I'm saving my wife's from the tragedy of
Speaker 1: what happened to my mother. That he actually said that,
Speaker 1: not verbally, but in his manner region and the way
Speaker 1: he spoke. I was with that because you know, from
Speaker 1: what I know of being a woman or being with
Speaker 1: a woman, and pretending to be a woman. I want
Speaker 1: to feel safe. I want to feel protective. Women love
Speaker 1: to feel protected when they were a man that made
Speaker 1: her feel safe. She did feel safe over in the England.
Speaker 1: He was doing too much. Yeah, I I have a
Speaker 1: lot of thoughts about this issue. One, I'm very happy
Speaker 1: that Megan finally got to use her voice and really
Speaker 1: expressed and explain what she was going through. The fact that,
Speaker 1: you know, the the UK Press was really twisting everything
Speaker 1: so that way. It made it seem like she was
Speaker 1: this big villain, and in some instances it was Kate
Speaker 1: that was messing with her with the whole bridesmaids thing, like,
Speaker 1: I don't understand how you make somebody cry right before
Speaker 1: their wedding. I think that's absolutely crazy. And I also
Speaker 1: think too this whole issue around having one a discussion
Speaker 1: about Archie. Their son is not gonna is not getting security,
Speaker 1: he's not getting a title. But you also had a
Speaker 1: conversation about well, how dark is his skin going to be,
Speaker 1: which to me is crazy because I think a lot
Speaker 1: of people forget the simple fact that there was a
Speaker 1: black Queen of England once upon a time, and her
Speaker 1: name was Queen Charlotte. How dark was she? Queen Charlotte
Speaker 1: was darker than Megan. Megan, ain't that dark? Well? I know, Megan,
Speaker 1: she's like. But my thing is, there was a black
Speaker 1: Queen of England once upon a time. And I feel
Speaker 1: like when we talk about when you write history, I
Speaker 1: hope you write it correctly. Is much if you look
Speaker 1: at images of Queen Charlotte, she looks whitewashed in some photos,
Speaker 1: but some you can actually see her true shoe. She
Speaker 1: was black. You know what's this hardening about the whole
Speaker 1: black and white situation? Is that or black and dark
Speaker 1: and light skin black people. What if he would have
Speaker 1: took a dark, dark woman home? What if he would
Speaker 1: have took a woman as dark as Lupe to Niango,
Speaker 1: as gorgeous as she is, but that black baby, the
Speaker 1: Queen would have probably had an old stroke right there
Speaker 1: and just said, you know what you'll been trying to
Speaker 1: get rid of me. Let me just go because I
Speaker 1: can't do it. But the gag is Oprah went on
Speaker 1: CBS this morning with her good girlfriend Gail se Gail
Speaker 1: and said that the comments about how the skin color
Speaker 1: of Archie did not come from the queen or um
Speaker 1: Harry's grandfather. Who did they come from? They didn't say,
Speaker 1: because you know, Harry was like, I'm not going to
Speaker 1: you know, damage anybody. I don't want to put that
Speaker 1: out there. But according to Oprah, she said this morning
Speaker 1: that Harry wanted me to, if I had the opportunity
Speaker 1: to speak about it, to say, it was not my
Speaker 1: grandmother and it wasn't my grandfather. So that narrowed to
Speaker 1: pull down to about three people. And that's either his father,
Speaker 1: his brother or Kate. Well, real talk the queen and
Speaker 1: and and and prince. What's what's the king's name? Was
Speaker 1: his name? Not the son, that's the son. They about
Speaker 1: two hundreds. They might not know who in the house
Speaker 1: for real, No way, you're they might need a privilege
Speaker 1: feel or some ship because they might not know who
Speaker 1: all up in there. They're a little old. Just be
Speaker 1: real tall um, I don't even know who was this
Speaker 1: grunted about it, And I love the herring them just
Speaker 1: got out. It's just better for the children now they're
Speaker 1: having another baby. It's also better for their spirit. Don't
Speaker 1: like she can't live with all that chaos and all
Speaker 1: that stress, and she's pregnant, the baby will be still
Speaker 1: born or she'll have a miscarriage or something. It's just
Speaker 1: too much, especially when you feel like your life is
Speaker 1: in danger or it's in peril. Thank you, Harry for
Speaker 1: sticking up for your wife. More men need to do that.
Speaker 1: I see it what I said. And she was suicidal
Speaker 1: to to make it all worse, you know what I mean? Suicidal,
Speaker 1: asked for help them, was like I need I need
Speaker 1: some assistance. Never I was like, I don't know, want
Speaker 1: to tell you, you've got to figure it out. Well,
Speaker 1: if you've never seen the papers, the tabloids over there,
Speaker 1: they dog that they call all every name you could
Speaker 1: possibly think of. That and she's an attractive woman. They
Speaker 1: told her in half your constitution, it has to be
Speaker 1: very strong in order to take some of the stuff
Speaker 1: that they're gonna throw at you when you're thrust into
Speaker 1: that position. And she didn't want it, and that's that's
Speaker 1: a great synopsis to going to the next thing. But
Speaker 1: she didn't, just like you know me and Maddie was
Speaker 1: on last week and she said that she was thrust
Speaker 1: into being l g B t Q activists. I don't
Speaker 1: feel like I was thrusting to anything. I'm gonna do
Speaker 1: it if I want to do it. I'm gonna do it.
Speaker 1: If it's something that's important to me, or I think
Speaker 1: it's important for the cause, I'm gonna speak on it.
Speaker 1: If it's not, guess what I'm not. And she didn't
Speaker 1: want to do it, I don't blame. Let's see if
Speaker 1: we can bring somebody into listen. I don't blame. I
Speaker 1: wouldn't have did it either. Hello Hello, Hello, Hello, hello hello. Okay,
Speaker 1: what oh my god? Thank god. Alright. If if at
Speaker 1: first you don't succeed, try try again, people. That's the
Speaker 1: motto of the day. Happy international women say if people.
Speaker 1: So we were talking about Megan Marco obviously yeah, she
Speaker 1: and Harry had with Obrah. What is it like? What
Speaker 1: is the backlash? What is the vibe over there in England? Well,
Speaker 1: it's funny because at the time different at the at
Speaker 1: this present moment, it's actually been shown live here in
Speaker 1: the UK, so if you can see it's on the
Speaker 1: TV here. So the England are just seeing the interview
Speaker 1: now it's like them about half an hour ago. But
Speaker 1: we've had obviously little snippets from when you had it
Speaker 1: yesterday from the American media and let me tell you,
Speaker 1: England has gone crazy for I was up from six
Speaker 1: o'clock this morning and straight from the off the backlash
Speaker 1: over here, the negative basically, the British press over here
Speaker 1: a damning Megan, They're damning Harry, They're calling them traditors.
Speaker 1: You know, it's such a twist of fate in a
Speaker 1: sex sense, because like you know, yes, when we kind
Speaker 1: of had I personally, I wasn't a fan of Megan,
Speaker 1: but when she become a member of the royal family,
Speaker 1: I gave hope for the establishment because the British establishment
Speaker 1: has always been inherently racist. The problem is the British
Speaker 1: establishment will never acknowledge that. They will duck dive, go around,
Speaker 1: not even discuss. You know, but as a black woman
Speaker 1: born in England, I'm fifty three, I've lived on my
Speaker 1: life in England. I can tell you England has always
Speaker 1: been inherently racist. I personally, you know, I've only had
Speaker 1: one person, and this was when I was maybe by
Speaker 1: thirty eight. I had this old man. I was walking
Speaker 1: to a post office, a great old Englishman, and he
Speaker 1: called me a black bitch, the first time anyone's actually
Speaker 1: said that to my face. I didn't say nothing to
Speaker 1: him because he's an older man, and anyhow you've gone
Speaker 1: cast an older man in England, you know, I'm going
Speaker 1: to be the aggressor, even though he was the aggressor
Speaker 1: towards me. But you have to understand England's history. It's
Speaker 1: not like the American history where you've got your slavery.
Speaker 1: Our history was more They invited us over here from
Speaker 1: like the sixties when our parents came over. But although
Speaker 1: they invited us to do their menial jobs, the problem
Speaker 1: is the white people they're here, they didn't want they
Speaker 1: don't want to know. There is to be a sign
Speaker 1: on pubs no dogs, no blacks, no Irish, do you
Speaker 1: know what I mean? So you can imagine that inherent
Speaker 1: racism is still living in this twenty one century, even
Speaker 1: though we have a lot of multicultural relationships in England.
Speaker 1: I'm not speaking for America. You know, we have a
Speaker 1: lot of you know, multicultural relationships. But the problem isn't
Speaker 1: necessary with the modern kids moving forward. It's with their parents,
Speaker 1: with their grandparents that is still embreedded in there, let's
Speaker 1: say Psyche. And so when you have someone like Megan
Speaker 1: that's married Harry, Harry was considered rebel anyway, But the
Speaker 1: problem is there's too many difference is to the way
Speaker 1: his mother was treated and had they treated Diana. But
Speaker 1: the problem is with the British press, they would never
Speaker 1: acknowledge Megan was has been treated the same way as
Speaker 1: Harry's mother was treated and sadly because of all the situations,
Speaker 1: she lost her life because of it. Um the firm,
Speaker 1: as Megan mentioned it, which is the British monarchy, it's
Speaker 1: a very in house. We will never know the reality
Speaker 1: is what goes on behind closed doors. And let me
Speaker 1: just say as a black woman, I personally have been
Speaker 1: to bucking And Palace three times. My dad was given
Speaker 1: an mbach remember the British Empire back in twenty twelve.
Speaker 1: I've met the Queen personally, I've met members of a
Speaker 1: roll family due to my my job. But the problem
Speaker 1: is u when you meet them, yes, they smile, they
Speaker 1: will shake your hand. That's the public the publicity side
Speaker 1: of it. When you go behind closed doors, it's a
Speaker 1: very different side. And you remember Megan was one royal
Speaker 1: you don't forget, also had Fergie Um Ferguson. She was
Speaker 1: married to um Andrew. She had issues with the royals.
Speaker 1: She went to America. They damned her in America. I
Speaker 1: just hope that you know. The problem with now, I
Speaker 1: keep saying, at the end of the day, you've got
Speaker 1: two issues. You've got Harry and Megan. They are family.
Speaker 1: The Queen is Harry's grandmother, so you've got a family
Speaker 1: side of things, and you also got a monarchy side
Speaker 1: of things, the family side of things. You know, I'm
Speaker 1: hoping that you know, Harriet, Harry and Megan will stay together.
Speaker 1: They will you know, strife forward. M She's obviously expecting
Speaker 1: her second child, which believes as a girl. She's got Archie,
Speaker 1: which is seventh in line to the throne. Let's not forget.
Speaker 1: If anything happens to the other members, Archie will be
Speaker 1: King of England, so let's not forget that. And but
Speaker 1: the actual monarchy itself, it's a hard institution. And yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry it's still in her relationship. There was a
Speaker 1: lady on TV Dr Schrula, Amma she basically, you know, um,
Speaker 1: let it be known to the world how racist England is.
Speaker 1: But right now the backlash she's terrible because a lot
Speaker 1: of the media saying, oh no, there's no racism in England.
Speaker 1: We love everybody, you know, come well, let me let
Speaker 1: me ask you a few things. Michelle, So, um, you
Speaker 1: turned on You said you originally didn't like Megan. Why
Speaker 1: why did you originally like her? No? I see this.
Speaker 1: I didn't like Megan because of who she you know,
Speaker 1: she was to me, she just you know, she you know,
Speaker 1: like you said, celebrity. I didn't watch suits, I didn't
Speaker 1: not think about her. But I like the fact anything
Speaker 1: I began to like Megan more as a person, not
Speaker 1: because of what she's done as an actress or you know,
Speaker 1: a model wherever. I wasn't necessary in you know, all
Speaker 1: over her work. But I like the fact that you know,
Speaker 1: she kind she stuck it out, she came, she stayed
Speaker 1: in it, She tried to live in England. She obviously
Speaker 1: with Harry, it's a step you know, we have to
Speaker 1: go in England, we have to claim what we claim.
Speaker 1: And for us, she was you know, although she's mixed heritage,
Speaker 1: he's still a black woman. So for us it was
Speaker 1: a step forward that you know, at least the monarchy
Speaker 1: has maybe opened up the doors for a bi racial relationship.
Speaker 1: But you know, it was always going to be difficult
Speaker 1: from the off, because yes, before when they were dating
Speaker 1: the media was very negative. Then they got married and
Speaker 1: everyone loved them. And then when they decided to say
Speaker 1: they're gonna go and live in Canada first, then moved
Speaker 1: to America. That's when you know people over here see
Speaker 1: them traitors and everything else. When she has this baby, Michelle,
Speaker 1: this little girl, all she needs to do is name
Speaker 1: that little girl Diana, and the entire country of England
Speaker 1: will forgive her. And the point, you're gonna have to
Speaker 1: go to the old ass down and that old broad
Speaker 1: Carmella and that old that old player who ain't gonna
Speaker 1: never be the king Prince Charles, because I think that
Speaker 1: she would die before she allows Prince Charles to be
Speaker 1: the Prince. I think that the only reason he is
Speaker 1: not she has not appointed him. She knows that he
Speaker 1: does not has have what it takes. I wish we
Speaker 1: had over here because we just put up with four
Speaker 1: years of boys shit. But you know we literally but
Speaker 1: we But if she has a daughter and she supposed
Speaker 1: the girl and she named that baby Diana, ain't gonna
Speaker 1: forgive everything. They're gonna forget. They're gonna tell the Queen
Speaker 1: to go to somewhere. So I'm curious though, because we
Speaker 1: talked about, you know, history on this side in America.
Speaker 1: We all know that history is very westernized in the
Speaker 1: stories properly in terms of who did what, civil rights,
Speaker 1: those sorts of things. So I'm curious Queen Charlotte talked
Speaker 1: about in England as being a black queen, like she
Speaker 1: was the first black queen. I feel like nobody talks
Speaker 1: about like the no, no, that that there was a
Speaker 1: black queen. You have a little bit more information on
Speaker 1: that there was a black queen, but it's never been
Speaker 1: It's never been let's say, publicized, because he has to
Speaker 1: pay in mine. The queen family itself is full of
Speaker 1: Germans and Greeks. You know, England itself is if you
Speaker 1: call about a British monarchy, we've never really had one,
Speaker 1: because even the Queen's Sandy is not actually British, do
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? So the monarchy itself never
Speaker 1: started from you know, a solid base for England. It's
Speaker 1: always been other countries running this country. It just so
Speaker 1: happens that due to the fact that bearing in mind
Speaker 1: you talk about racism and you know, being difficult, they
Speaker 1: you mustn't forget Edward and Mrs Simpson, he advicated his
Speaker 1: throne for love of his woman, and the British people
Speaker 1: didn't want him to be there because she was American
Speaker 1: divorce and back in them days it was not good
Speaker 1: to be married to a divorce and he actually abdicated,
Speaker 1: which then lad in a round up ray for our
Speaker 1: queen to become queen. So there's always been a dark
Speaker 1: side of the monarchy, pushing out what they don't like
Speaker 1: to one side, keeping it, you know, under the carpet,
Speaker 1: you know, putting people in you know, seclusion so you
Speaker 1: can't speak. They have a great way of gagging you in,
Speaker 1: you know, the monarchy. So having himself is right when
Speaker 1: he says his brother, his dad, they are all basically
Speaker 1: they're chained into that whole society. They they like it
Speaker 1: in a sense. The queen is born of duty. When
Speaker 1: you're born of duty, and that's all you know, that's
Speaker 1: all you live. And Prince Charles again closest to the queen,
Speaker 1: he was born of duty. William has kind of followed
Speaker 1: his dad's footsteps. So he's that man where he will
Speaker 1: be king one day and Kate will be queen and
Speaker 1: then obviously his children will be you know, heir to
Speaker 1: the prone. But you know, you've got to understand. Duty
Speaker 1: is one thing. I think Harry, because of Megan, decided
Speaker 1: that duty, that line was too much for me to
Speaker 1: in order to keep my my love, my life, my
Speaker 1: wife's sanity, our babies safe, you know and secure. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he said, I was seeing history repeatedself. I was seeing
Speaker 1: a lot of things that my mother went through, my
Speaker 1: coming through, and I understood that's something happen. And he
Speaker 1: said that's why he resented his fathering sum much because
Speaker 1: his father was going through the same thing he was
Speaker 1: and wasn't being understanding. And you know, there's a there's
Speaker 1: a lot of dark history. I know, you guys have
Speaker 1: the program The Royal Now I take that with a
Speaker 1: pincher thought that there are some threads of truth in
Speaker 1: that series. But at the end of day, oh yeah,
Speaker 1: this I mean Prince Charles he was having with Camilla
Speaker 1: long before Diana. You know, that was she was a
Speaker 1: married woman when he was having an affair with her.
Speaker 1: You know, Diana herself, she was having an affairs once
Speaker 1: she realized Prince Charles was with Camilla. You know, he
Speaker 1: loved that woman, but he had to marry Diana because
Speaker 1: Danna was a woman of status. Prince Charles could not
Speaker 1: marry Camilla because she was a divorce You know, it's
Speaker 1: say saying that Prince William and Kate technically in are
Speaker 1: not my eyes, but in the Moniker eyes, Kate is
Speaker 1: a commoner. Prince William married a commoner. The paper didn't
Speaker 1: like her in the beginning. They met at university. He
Speaker 1: loved her. Then they let you know, after a bit
Speaker 1: of grooming, they said they could marry. Prince Harry met Meghan,
Speaker 1: American TV star, you know, a socialite. They didn't want
Speaker 1: that in their their family, let alone in the monarchy.
Speaker 1: But they've got it now. He's got two children with her.
Speaker 1: That's a problem. You know, God forbid and touched what
Speaker 1: nothing happens like the mother because Prince DA's Diana. She
Speaker 1: tried to leave. She was going up with Do de
Speaker 1: Do defied. They didn't want that to happen. She was
Speaker 1: in a relationship room. She lost her life because of that.
Speaker 1: So you think that Megan being you know, she's not
Speaker 1: talking out of any just because people keep saying, you know, oh,
Speaker 1: she's trying to ruin the monarchy. I don't believe that
Speaker 1: there's a truth to what Meghan is staying. I do
Speaker 1: believe that it's just to overhear the British people are
Speaker 1: trying to say, oh, it's not real. But Diana was
Speaker 1: the first woman to say it is real. It does happen.
Speaker 1: She said she had depression, she said she had suicidal thought.
Speaker 1: This was Prince Harry's mother. So can you imagine the
Speaker 1: poor boy? Let me let well can see if you
Speaker 1: can debunk this last theory were rumor that I've heard
Speaker 1: about part of the reason why Diana was actually killed because,
Speaker 1: like you said, they were having her own separate affairs
Speaker 1: and it was rumored that she was actually pregnant. Yes
Speaker 1: that was baby, but he was of Arab descent. Yes,
Speaker 1: that's that's Do defied idees That's what made me kind
Speaker 1: of do a parallel because she was pregnant with his
Speaker 1: baby of Arab descent. He was going to be a
Speaker 1: possibly a child who was a dark review. You have
Speaker 1: to also know the history behind that relationship. Do defied
Speaker 1: a son as Alfaire and his father owned Howt, which
Speaker 1: is a great big retail story in he's been the
Speaker 1: born of money. However, they would not give his father
Speaker 1: a British citizenship because although he has lots of investments
Speaker 1: in England, so they kind of snubbed him, although they
Speaker 1: take his money, but they won't let him live here legally.
Speaker 1: That's the father with a very rich man. The son
Speaker 1: dough defired was dating Diana. There was rumors I do
Speaker 1: not know myself. I wasn't withing the car, that she
Speaker 1: was pregnant. And also due to the establishment. That was
Speaker 1: why they killed her, because they didn't want her because
Speaker 1: brain mind, Prince William and Prince Harry were always going
Speaker 1: to be in line to the throne. If she had
Speaker 1: a second a third child from it would behalf bathers
Speaker 1: to the king. The kings of England. They can't have
Speaker 1: the monarchy. It's too much shame for them, so they
Speaker 1: had to push it away. I used to think that
Speaker 1: I was born a world this say, I'm so glad,
Speaker 1: I'm all projected. I'm glad, I'm work saw they needed
Speaker 1: old trainy oh, my son is a training we're gonna
Speaker 1: They said they wanted to queen, So if I was
Speaker 1: born a king, they said they wanted to queen the
Speaker 1: rule the country. Hey listen, listen, I'm gonna try to
Speaker 1: bring Nick in here. But while while we're bringing let's
Speaker 1: do a quick history lesson to just about Queen Charlotte,
Speaker 1: since nobody seems to really know who she is. Queen
Speaker 1: Charlotte she was known as Charlotte of Mecklenburg or Sophia Charlotte.
Speaker 1: She was born May nineteenth, seventeen forty four and lived
Speaker 1: to November seventeenth of eighteen eighteen, and was the queen
Speaker 1: con sort of the British King George the Third. So
Speaker 1: she married George the third on September eighth of seventeen
Speaker 1: sixty one and they were married until her death. And
Speaker 1: as George's wife, she was also the electress and latter
Speaker 1: Queen of Hanover. So it's shocking to me that, you know,
Speaker 1: similar issues that we faced on this side of the
Speaker 1: island terms of you know, history not being told properly.
Speaker 1: It's the same thing that's happening over in England because,
Speaker 1: like I said before, Charlotte was black. You know, they've
Speaker 1: said that North Carolina that's Charlotte was named after Queen Charlotte.
Speaker 1: And then also too, I don't know if you guys
Speaker 1: have seen the series Bridgertain which Sean de Land just created,
Speaker 1: that queen in the series is black. And her character
Speaker 1: is based off of Queen Charlotte. So anyway, Nick, welcome,
Speaker 1: Just so you all know, we were all here. We
Speaker 1: could all see you all, but you are were not
Speaker 1: hearing us for some reason. There. Yeah, I don't know
Speaker 1: what happened. I updated the app. You know you also
Speaker 1: mentioned um Diana. You know, William already uses Diana's name
Speaker 1: and baby Charlotte's name, so they've already used Diana. You
Speaker 1: just can't use Diana as the first name. It's not
Speaker 1: the first name. No, it can't be the first name.
Speaker 1: That's not allowed. But they already they already remember Diana
Speaker 1: with baby Charlotte. So that's like, let me tell you something.
Speaker 1: Harry and Megan do what the hell they want to do.
Speaker 1: It would be the first name over here. It might
Speaker 1: not be the first name over there, but it would
Speaker 1: be first name over here. And I think it's good too.
Speaker 1: And even you know, watching the interview, they said that
Speaker 1: things feel more normal now, like they've they've come out
Speaker 1: and said that the queen, they have a great relationship
Speaker 1: with the Queen. Harry praised his grandmother, Megan praise you know,
Speaker 1: his grandmother and said that she's very kind, and they
Speaker 1: don't have to worry about Formali's and everything that the
Speaker 1: relationship has gotten better. Um, but he talked about how
Speaker 1: his relationship with his brother Harry did talk about his
Speaker 1: relationship with William is strained, and how his father stopped
Speaker 1: taking his calls at one point, and there's a lot
Speaker 1: of healing and mending to do so in a lot
Speaker 1: of ways, I think that maybe this whole skin color
Speaker 1: conversation with the baby is maybe stemming from the father
Speaker 1: because it's maybe past whatever relationships he had to do
Speaker 1: with with Diana. That's what I'm really starting to conclude,
Speaker 1: because they grow down the scope. Oprah narrowed down the
Speaker 1: scope for us, So and you know it's funny with that?
Speaker 1: What's what's funny with that? And and work with me
Speaker 1: here and follow my logic. I didn't even and I
Speaker 1: know color and everything is complicated and nuanced, but I
Speaker 1: didn't see her as a black woman initially. Uh. And
Speaker 1: and my view of what black women look like like
Speaker 1: she Rashida Jones, Mariah Carey. Black woman isn't the first
Speaker 1: thing that comes to mind for me only speaking for Nicholas.
Speaker 1: So if you're offended by that shade of black somebody
Speaker 1: like Naomi Campbell didn't have a chance because I'm thinking
Speaker 1: at least they are more appeasing too many. Um, I
Speaker 1: have never been confused for anything but black but flame.
Speaker 1: And I have still been places where people like, well flame,
Speaker 1: what what is flame? Flame? Your what? And what? But
Speaker 1: I've never had the luxury I've been. Here's the here's
Speaker 1: the kicker with with black people, even with light skiing,
Speaker 1: because it's as right as Lauren is. Laura can get
Speaker 1: with a man with a black man of just a
Speaker 1: brown your your color brown. But you know it maybe
Speaker 1: the great and mother or something with black people that
Speaker 1: the kid could take on that pigmentation because sometimes it
Speaker 1: comes through the lineage, not necessarily right from the parents.
Speaker 1: So I'm sure that they were fear of that. And
Speaker 1: the next baby comes out because the mother is brown,
Speaker 1: uh you know, making Marcus mother is brown, the daddy white,
Speaker 1: but the mother is brown. If that baby come out brown,
Speaker 1: bit you think they made over there across the pond.
Speaker 1: Let that baby come out looking like kidzy baby. I
Speaker 1: understand me when I tell you that baby the queen
Speaker 1: gonna start kicking and ship out the cat damnything. Else. Well, well,
Speaker 1: there's we've we've seen when there's instances of that in
Speaker 1: my family because like my grandmother is from Mexico and
Speaker 1: she's the darkest of the bunch. Her whole family really
Speaker 1: is of a lighter hue. They're more like my skin
Speaker 1: complexion or a little lighter. But she was, you know,
Speaker 1: known as the black sheep of the family because she
Speaker 1: was so dark, and she was really real cute a
Speaker 1: lot forward to the point where she didn't want to,
Speaker 1: you know, do things like past her heritage, her Mexican heritage,
Speaker 1: along to like my father Um and his siblings, because
Speaker 1: in my father is the example too, he's the darkest
Speaker 1: of the bunch as well, considering his two parents are
Speaker 1: very very light. So um and I mean even if
Speaker 1: we look at celebrities like Tiamari and her husband um Adam.
Speaker 1: You know, the sun came out Adam's color, but their
Speaker 1: daughter is she got some melan into her. So you
Speaker 1: just never know what you're gonna get. Yeah, racist, racist,
Speaker 1: so nuanced, but I and in deference to the Queen,
Speaker 1: I will give her a pass that she may have
Speaker 1: feared that baby come looking like Nicholas and you're like,
Speaker 1: what just happened? You know? That would have been a
Speaker 1: tough one to explain. But they said it wasn't her though, Nick,
Speaker 1: they said it wasn't the grandmother. That yeah, not only that,
Speaker 1: we're also finding out that's true, it wasn't the grandmother.
Speaker 1: That the grandmother really doesn't run things, that she too,
Speaker 1: in many ways, is a victim of the firm. I
Speaker 1: just told y'all her and uh, what's the husband's name,
Speaker 1: Philip is about three hundred years old between the two
Speaker 1: up now, No, they don't even know each other. They
Speaker 1: just walking back at each other all day, digging and
Speaker 1: butlers and ship the hell they don't know each other? Child, Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: uh you all you know this has just it's been
Speaker 1: an interesting week. I think I also just have to
Speaker 1: in that interview once again recognized flame you and I've
Speaker 1: had this conversation. How amazing in my opinion and solid
Speaker 1: of an interviewer Oprah When free is Oprah? I still
Speaker 1: say this, Brian Gumbo, just two of the best. And
Speaker 1: I just think that Oprah did that interview with such
Speaker 1: grace and I never felt like it was a setup
Speaker 1: or gotcha moment um. I just think that it was
Speaker 1: just delivered and done so well, uh, the only thing
Speaker 1: I could have done without. And this is just me,
Speaker 1: you guys, I think chicken coops are the nastiest thing.
Speaker 1: Like I didn't need to see Oprah running around the
Speaker 1: chicken coop. That bothered me. And and that that that's
Speaker 1: stuck with me. That that that stuck with me. Was
Speaker 1: you afraid she was gonna wash ther meats? My mother
Speaker 1: grew up with wild chickens running around as a little girl,
Speaker 1: and she talks about how her my uncle's would take
Speaker 1: a chicken and just snapped the neck and they would
Speaker 1: eat that chi can that night. And I'm like, mom,
Speaker 1: I would have preferred the chicken and walked across and
Speaker 1: just died on its own, but that's how they killed it.
Speaker 1: And literally chickens running around with the broken neck. Did
Speaker 1: you see that? Did you experience that? How did in
Speaker 1: front of you? Okay, no, I did not. But my
Speaker 1: mother as much chicken as Nickolas eats. If Nicholas would
Speaker 1: have saw that, that NI would have never ate en.
Speaker 1: I will honestly say that if I had to slaughter
Speaker 1: and kill my own meat, I probably would be a vegetarian.
Speaker 1: I probably would. Yeah, yeah, I'm calling my house because
Speaker 1: I'm shooting there thinking if I'm hungry, well, let let
Speaker 1: me just say this about Oprah. I feel like and
Speaker 1: there's nothing negative to well, it might be negative to
Speaker 1: say about her, but I feel like in a way,
Speaker 1: she's kind of trying to also redeem some of the
Speaker 1: things that she's done in the past with some of
Speaker 1: her ventures. And I'm talking about like the Michael Jackson thing,
Speaker 1: and she kind of went after Russell Simmons, and I
Speaker 1: think I'm glad to see that. It seems like she's
Speaker 1: almost kind of on this path of trying to bring
Speaker 1: light to things in terms of this whole soul series
Speaker 1: that she's doing in this interview, So I'm kudos to
Speaker 1: Oprah because I was feeling a little indifferent about her
Speaker 1: for a minute, um, when all these sexual assault scandals
Speaker 1: were happening and she kind of really didn't speak on
Speaker 1: her friend Harvey Weinstein. So I'm glad to see that
Speaker 1: she's kind of trying to shift the trajectory of what
Speaker 1: she's doing. But wait a minute, you know what, you
Speaker 1: know what? You know what that is only black women
Speaker 1: attack Oprah about that she was wrong? Only black women.
Speaker 1: Only black women attack Oprah about that. But she was wrong.
Speaker 1: Well I'm not. I'm not. I'm not saying whether she
Speaker 1: was right or What I'm saying is that only black
Speaker 1: women attack her about those the Harvey Weinstein, about the
Speaker 1: Russell Simmons, about the Michael Jackson. Only black women. Uh,
Speaker 1: and maybe a couple of black gave me, but mostly
Speaker 1: only black women because and I don't know what that is.
Speaker 1: Because but at one point in time, Oprah was Himan's hero,
Speaker 1: you know. And but but then she broke off. So
Speaker 1: you have to look at how the time when she
Speaker 1: started off, she was a m Chicago, a little fat
Speaker 1: black ball here lady in Chicago with the oversized sweathers
Speaker 1: and woo woo. Uh. She grew and Oprah grew quickly
Speaker 1: and caught on, and then the white women caught on,
Speaker 1: then black women caught on. Then everybody loved her. Then
Speaker 1: Oprah went through a channel phase where she discovered her
Speaker 1: blackness and who she was, and then black people are
Speaker 1: saying that she was too white and white people are
Speaker 1: saying that she was going in a different direction. I'm
Speaker 1: telling you can never please everybody. But what I do
Speaker 1: like about Ms Oprah Winfrey, Ms Okra girl, Miss Oka
Speaker 1: get the big guests to come in. She makes you
Speaker 1: feel so comfortable you want to sit down and have
Speaker 1: a conversational open kind of like T t J. And
Speaker 1: you just want to tell her everything now personally over,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't tell you everything. I'm gonna tell you what
Speaker 1: you need to know. We're gonna keep it pushing. And
Speaker 1: you didn't had no heels on you sitting down. You
Speaker 1: couldn't had some heels. OK. No, I'm just saying that
Speaker 1: to say I'm liking the trajectory of what she's doing
Speaker 1: now because I was looking at her a little sideways.
Speaker 1: And if you know, it's just us black, it really
Speaker 1: was on. I think she was very wrong, especially with
Speaker 1: the Michael Jackson thing. It came out it wasn't true,
Speaker 1: and that's why HBO pulled it. Can I just say
Speaker 1: that I'm so glad that I never watched that. Like
Speaker 1: you said about stepping the neck on the chicken, I
Speaker 1: never wanted and and I made jokes about Michael Jacksons
Speaker 1: at the time because it was just what we did
Speaker 1: as comedians, because that was what was in the news.
Speaker 1: That's what you do when it's in the news, you
Speaker 1: make fucking jokes about it. But I never thought that
Speaker 1: he did anything with those children in a sexual capacity.
Speaker 1: I really never thought that. It's just some ship just
Speaker 1: don't sit well, and that just never set well with me.
Speaker 1: But I'm glad I didn't watch that thing because I
Speaker 1: didn't want that negative contentation in my head. Because I
Speaker 1: will never not listen to Michael Jackson's music. I woul
Speaker 1: never not listen to her Kelly's music because I know
Speaker 1: who they are. I know. I'm sorry, I know Kelly did,
Speaker 1: but his music is great. His music bring people together.
Speaker 1: I'm not knocking his talent. I'm talking about who he
Speaker 1: is as a person. We aren't talking about Nigga's talent.
Speaker 1: I would leave them with my daughters or nothing. But
Speaker 1: I don't know any adult. You something strange, man, you
Speaker 1: would leave your children with you know what I'm saying that.
Speaker 1: So I think I think there's that to be tied
Speaker 1: into it as well. Michael Jackson, just to put a
Speaker 1: button on that, I totally, I totally agree with to
Speaker 1: flame like I I will die in Michael Jackson fanatic
Speaker 1: like I loved Michael so But touching on that, I
Speaker 1: do believe that everyone who who claims to be a
Speaker 1: victim deserves to have a space to be heard and
Speaker 1: their experience to be acknowledged, no matter how you know,
Speaker 1: how tragic or how you know, my nute somebody may
Speaker 1: think it is. I think you always have to acknowledge
Speaker 1: somebody's experience, no matter what it is. And that's when
Speaker 1: we're talking about even with Andrew Well, I want to
Speaker 1: I got a question and if I sound stupid, just
Speaker 1: please slap me if I sound stupid. I want to
Speaker 1: know what it now condens. What is the measure or
Speaker 1: equation of rape? A rape or inappropriate? We we hug
Speaker 1: You know, my penis may lay on Lawrence lady, because
Speaker 1: lord no, I'll never went on draws. Uh. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying is that? Is that a sexual You
Speaker 1: know what I mean? Lawrence? Where where do we Where
Speaker 1: do we say it's not kidas here? What Kendall was
Speaker 1: on the phone talking to his girlfriend and they were
Speaker 1: having an in depth conversation, but we were all leaving
Speaker 1: and he hugged Lauren and Kindle's wood. He was laid
Speaker 1: up on Lauren fat with Lauren going two years eight
Speaker 1: years later and say oh I was sexually harassed. The
Speaker 1: the hert didn't wasn't even for you. That was with
Speaker 1: somebody else. I remember a colleague of mine saying once,
Speaker 1: and I think that we over complicated. It's simple. If
Speaker 1: you wouldn't do it to your mother, don't do it
Speaker 1: to someone else. It's ridiculous, it's too much. I don't
Speaker 1: want I don't think that any time you have UM
Speaker 1: And unfortunately, I do believe the onus of professional and
Speaker 1: personal responsibility lies with the person who happens to be
Speaker 1: that person supervisor. You don't get to, unfortunately, moving the
Speaker 1: space in one where you're not aware that the dynamics
Speaker 1: have changed. Women are no longer sitting back allowing you
Speaker 1: to touch and grab them just because you didn't know. Well, brother,
Speaker 1: you need to educate yourself because women are speaking up
Speaker 1: and they're not having it anymore. Well, Nicholas, I you look,
Speaker 1: you're working, you working the news, you work in media,
Speaker 1: and I know you, and I'm speaking your personal business.
Speaker 1: Everybody know it in the damn way. You know you
Speaker 1: always free balling and you are very well endowed man, Nicholas.
Speaker 1: And so when you hug you, you have hugged me
Speaker 1: and I felt your shorty tapping me on my should.
Speaker 1: I'm like, wait a minute, we're not having this conversation. No, no, no.
Speaker 1: From what I'm saying is that what if you you
Speaker 1: go back to y'all, when y'all go back to the
Speaker 1: newsroom and it's a new lady, then you hug her
Speaker 1: and she feels you on her, and then she says
Speaker 1: that you sexually harassed her. This is what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: It's not even about that. Somewhere it has to draw
Speaker 1: the line or we're gonna get it's gonna everything is
Speaker 1: gonna be inappropriate. You can't say hello to somebody, or
Speaker 1: you look good, Oh you look good today? Oh so
Speaker 1: you tell me I was ugly yesterday. Everything? You know
Speaker 1: what I mean. You're just never gonna know how to
Speaker 1: take a damn compliment. Last week you looked really good.
Speaker 1: I look good today. Yeah I don't. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I think in a lot of ways. And maybe it
Speaker 1: is getting a little because because my thing is this,
Speaker 1: like if somebody reaches out for a hug and I
Speaker 1: don't want to hug you, I give you a polite
Speaker 1: shoulder tap. We're not even gonna do that. So and
Speaker 1: if I is trying to the studeo everybody, I've been
Speaker 1: trying to keep it together and just my efforts to
Speaker 1: my God, but it's big hand. Listen. But yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: just saying I'm I don't It's hard because I and
Speaker 1: I understand the other part of it too. It's like,
Speaker 1: you know, he's your supervisor. You don't want to offense somebody.
Speaker 1: I mean, I get it, but at the same time,
Speaker 1: I just I need more information at this point. That's
Speaker 1: all I'm saying, because, like to what we've been talking about,
Speaker 1: one of the accusers are saying, oh, well, he hugged
Speaker 1: me and I could tell he was aroused. What does
Speaker 1: that mean. I'm gonna say this. I think that investigation
Speaker 1: will play itself out. My simple, my simple ideas this,
Speaker 1: This is what I believe that if you are in
Speaker 1: a position where it could even possibly be misinterpreted, it
Speaker 1: would behoove you to operate with the most reserved behavior.
Speaker 1: That's all. I have supervisors who do not even meet
Speaker 1: with people one on one. There's always someone else in
Speaker 1: the room. So the things have just changed. And I
Speaker 1: would just suggest that Governor Cuomo, who has supposedly, according
Speaker 1: to reports, a history of running an office that is
Speaker 1: full of machismo and has been super aggressive, whatever that
Speaker 1: means to different people. UM should have seen this coming
Speaker 1: or should have known that this could be a problem,
Speaker 1: So I don't believe it came out. I ain't gonna
Speaker 1: agree with that, because, first of all, when you said
Speaker 1: that if I gotta work with you, I don't want
Speaker 1: to be at work doing my job and have to
Speaker 1: be on high alert because of your overly sensitive as
Speaker 1: not to personally, but you know that I'm worried about
Speaker 1: whether you're gonna come out. We we cannot live like this.
Speaker 1: This is why everybody is already on two thousand right now.
Speaker 1: Everybody is on edge. Everybody's got a nail update. But
Speaker 1: because we've been stuck in the house for a year,
Speaker 1: nobody can work and now all of this. We got
Speaker 1: too much time on our hands to find pay and
Speaker 1: we found it every piece of petty we can. Some
Speaker 1: of us need to just shut out internet all because
Speaker 1: we keep finding ship that ain't there. You keep trying
Speaker 1: to create ship that ain't there. I don't know how
Speaker 1: I feel that worked, but I don't want to walk
Speaker 1: around and be like I can't say to Lauren, oh hello,
Speaker 1: good morning, beautiful. Oh my god, he offended me. He
Speaker 1: never calls me by my name. He calls me beautiful
Speaker 1: or sweetheart or the path which I may say anything ship,
Speaker 1: you know, my amor mouth fan? What's up with? What's up? Brown'
Speaker 1: not offended your females especially, you ain't offended about another
Speaker 1: woman or another to new calling you bro, you damn
Speaker 1: trying to feel about? No man called you sweetheart or
Speaker 1: cute power or miss lady or a baby girl. See
Speaker 1: find out what you're gonna be mad about first, God
Speaker 1: damn it, and then come over here with that bulletshit. Oh,
Speaker 1: y'all get him on letters. Let me de scratch my weeds.
Speaker 1: But you know, I think things just change, and and
Speaker 1: I just think that Governor Cuomo, uh, you really should
Speaker 1: in many ways again be open to this investigation and
Speaker 1: we'll see how We'll see how it plays. And even
Speaker 1: if he said, you know, if I offended somebody or
Speaker 1: made somebody feel uncomfortable, I apologize, And I think that's
Speaker 1: very important. You have to acknowledge somebody's experienced. You can't.
Speaker 1: He's not denying anything, but he's saying if I did something,
Speaker 1: it was not intentional. This is my background, Laura. At
Speaker 1: one point, he supposedly said to the young girl, have
Speaker 1: you ever had sex with an older man? Laura, I'm
Speaker 1: I think that's a little to do. I mean, but
Speaker 1: that's if he said that, though, like if if that okay,
Speaker 1: if he said that, that's fine. But I'm just saying
Speaker 1: there's I think it's convenient that, you know, Cuomo is
Speaker 1: becoming the sacrificial lamb on all subjects, from COVID to
Speaker 1: no sexual assault. But you got people like Jim Jordan's
Speaker 1: who have had so many sexual assault cases against him.
Speaker 1: Nothing is being said about him, nobody that that he
Speaker 1: knew wrestlers were being molested or or sexually assaulted. Right
Speaker 1: and with with Governor Cuomo, you know, I think the
Speaker 1: biggest caveat in all this is that do you remember
Speaker 1: you all, let's go back maybe six seven months. Do
Speaker 1: you remember people were saying we should replace Biden and
Speaker 1: it should be Cuomo on the ballot. Do you all
Speaker 1: remember how people were so in love with him? Can
Speaker 1: you imagine where we would have been had because democrats
Speaker 1: are fickle. We we we've talked about this, how there
Speaker 1: gung ho, and then they forget the next shy the
Speaker 1: object right that if we're putting Cuomo, who we want
Speaker 1: to resign in the same box as Al Franken, who,
Speaker 1: in my opinion, I don't think is anywhere near this.
Speaker 1: I think that we're all over the place on what
Speaker 1: is and is not something that is a fire uball offense.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm just curious to see what the saying.
Speaker 1: That's That's where I am on this issue. I've been
Speaker 1: to Andrew at Cuomo at home, cause he, I tell you,
Speaker 1: you know, he cutting like a little baby. I know
Speaker 1: he cutting everybody out. First of all, I will never
Speaker 1: get mad at him about asking somebody in their twenties
Speaker 1: has they ever had sex with somebody younger than them?
Speaker 1: Because guess what I asked that question. Well, on that note,
Speaker 1: let's let's take this opportunity to segue because we already talked.
Speaker 1: We just mentioned Joe Biden. Um Nick, do you want
Speaker 1: to introduce the phenomenal or momentous occasion that Biden had
Speaker 1: this weekend in terms of working on exciting a new
Speaker 1: executive order? All right, that's right. We were talking about
Speaker 1: the voting In fact, we're talking about how President Biden
Speaker 1: has assigned executive order directing US agencies to promote voting access.
Speaker 1: Um and this falls on the anniversary of Bloody Sunday, uh,
Speaker 1: when Alabama state troopers brutally attacked peaceful protesters fighting for
Speaker 1: the right to vote as they crossed the Edmund Pettis
Speaker 1: Bridge in Selma. Why is this important? You and I
Speaker 1: were just talking about, the three of us have talked
Speaker 1: about offline, how we all got really excited for the
Speaker 1: general election, then we got excited for the Georgia Sentate runoff.
Speaker 1: And what we are learning is that, Uh, there are
Speaker 1: several bills moving through different states legislators to restrict, repeal,
Speaker 1: or remove voting in many areas where Republicans, it is argued,
Speaker 1: believe that their ability to win an election the way
Speaker 1: things stand now are severely compromised. What does that mean.
Speaker 1: That means that they believe there should be a rollback
Speaker 1: of things like mail and voting, a rollback of collection
Speaker 1: sites that can take the ballots for older people and
Speaker 1: maybe bring them in, because they say these things open
Speaker 1: themselves up to fraud. There's even legislation moving forward right
Speaker 1: now in the state of Georgia that would make it
Speaker 1: illegal for me to bring you a chair or water
Speaker 1: as you stand in line waiting to vote. That past
Speaker 1: that past last week. So there you go, there you go. So,
Speaker 1: so this is why Joe Biden and his move to
Speaker 1: uh secure voting rights and make them equitable across the
Speaker 1: fifty contiguous United States, of the forty nine contiguous United
Speaker 1: States and and Alaska. That is that that is is
Speaker 1: absolutely important that we that we have an opportunity for
Speaker 1: everyone to know that their vote will count. Period. Sorry
Speaker 1: I just have to block some um but no, I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: I just had sorry um um. But now I think
Speaker 1: that you know, the world is changing, the world is evolving,
Speaker 1: and we're just gonna be very honest here that there's
Speaker 1: no um. There's a certain group of people on the
Speaker 1: far right that are really trying to hold onto this
Speaker 1: whole pure bred, pure blood American white is pure like
Speaker 1: this whole concept. And even today, you know, we see
Speaker 1: that six Republican senators are not running for re election
Speaker 1: because they're trying to open the door for more of
Speaker 1: these Trump like thinkers to come into office. So I
Speaker 1: think in a lot of ways, you know, people that
Speaker 1: feel like our history is you know, the Confederate sy
Speaker 1: and all of these different things, we're trying to hold
Speaker 1: onto this idea and these are a lot of the
Speaker 1: Republicans that we now have in the House and some
Speaker 1: in the Senate as well. We talked about, you know,
Speaker 1: Marjory Taylor Green. They're trying to hold on to this
Speaker 1: concept and through that they're like, well, you guys are
Speaker 1: trying to learn the system of how voting works because
Speaker 1: we suppressed you all people of color for so long. Um,
Speaker 1: we've got to put some more you know, bills in
Speaker 1: place to get that control back because they are they're
Speaker 1: really losing the control in terms of voting. Because you've
Speaker 1: got people like Stacy Abrams, You've got people like Common
Speaker 1: that are going on the ground. Um, You've got all
Speaker 1: these different influential figures that are really starting to educate
Speaker 1: people and allow them to understand just because you were incarcerated,
Speaker 1: you still have the ability to vote. You know, just
Speaker 1: because this happened to you, you know, you still have
Speaker 1: the ability to vote. These are your rights. People are
Speaker 1: learning the system, People are understanding how the system works,
Speaker 1: and these far right individuals, whether they be political figures
Speaker 1: or not, are upset about it. So they're trying to
Speaker 1: figure out how we can maneuver so that way they
Speaker 1: can still hold onto this construct of we need to
Speaker 1: stay in power and two flames. Flames. Girl Amy Coney
Speaker 1: Barrett just heard a case as she's shot down the
Speaker 1: Republican attorney, the the the attorney fighting for UH to
Speaker 1: to change and limit these rules. She's like, so exactly
Speaker 1: what would this? What problem are we solving that does
Speaker 1: not exist? And and so they they're just struggling to
Speaker 1: answer that. And it's just it's interesting because the simple
Speaker 1: truth is this, I genuinely believe you have a You
Speaker 1: have those who are watching the world change, Lauren, like
Speaker 1: you just said, and are uncomfortable with that change. You
Speaker 1: can't in some cases, I don't even know that they
Speaker 1: know that they're lack of willingness to accept the browning
Speaker 1: and darkening of America. Um to not even here and
Speaker 1: want to give those people like I think they're fine
Speaker 1: with me, you in flame if we stay in our place.
Speaker 1: But but what But but I think that you know,
Speaker 1: talking back and wanting to be heard. And now you're like, waitmen,
Speaker 1: you don't get to touch me without my permission? WHOA
Speaker 1: wait a minute, I don't So, No, you do have
Speaker 1: a place. There are people who are fighting for you,
Speaker 1: even if you're not fighting for yourself. Now, now that's
Speaker 1: the truth. But by societal standards, well, I could agree
Speaker 1: with what Flames saying, she doesn't have a place by
Speaker 1: societal standards. If we're gonna really talk about it, I think,
Speaker 1: I think. I think strong black fathers always have a place,
Speaker 1: and and and because I didn't have a father growing up,
Speaker 1: so I I completely forget all that I'm talking about.
Speaker 1: What I'm talking about when you're talking about the father
Speaker 1: that I'm talking this girl. Oh, I ain't got a
Speaker 1: place as a black person. Baby. Let me tell you something.
Speaker 1: I need these people to stuff think that anything is
Speaker 1: pure bred. Ain't no more one hundreds and pure area
Speaker 1: and ship because you're great great, great great great great
Speaker 1: and great granddaddy could not stay his ass up out
Speaker 1: of Mami Bello's kidsy Sue Big Becky and when whooped
Speaker 1: the duke this room, and they wouldn't even they hadn't
Speaker 1: even had their first period. They was in there raping
Speaker 1: those children and started in lineage back then. So they
Speaker 1: was raping the kids. And then they was making the
Speaker 1: kids so they could have a baby. They was having
Speaker 1: the own babies. So ain't no pure ship. We all
Speaker 1: mixed up with a little something something, just a little
Speaker 1: bit though. But what you're saying, though, that's the ideal,
Speaker 1: the construct of that is slowly deteriorating, and it's scaring
Speaker 1: a lot of people. That's what Abrams is working on
Speaker 1: a new project now. I believe it drops next week
Speaker 1: or so, Lauren Uh that you're talking about the voting
Speaker 1: and all of that, and and we are still working
Speaker 1: to black folks, black folks, black folks. That's on here.
Speaker 1: That's listening. Baby. If you know somebody that's seventeen or
Speaker 1: gonna be turning eighteen, that time and times to vote,
Speaker 1: get them registered. Now, make sure you follow all the
Speaker 1: guidlines because they're running a scam like you never believe
Speaker 1: that they're trying to do. Is that a hundred and
Speaker 1: forty three or a hundred and thirty four laws to
Speaker 1: change it to make what we thought voting was difficult
Speaker 1: for us before this last time with all the cheating,
Speaker 1: this next go around, they're trying to pull the cat
Speaker 1: out of a head. Hit me when I tell you,
Speaker 1: and they are and I believe this me, this is
Speaker 1: my this is what I believe. Nobody else agrees with
Speaker 1: me on this. If they don't just I'm not talking
Speaker 1: about them. I ain't asking me. This new to them too.
Speaker 1: I think that they put some ship up in y'all
Speaker 1: in this vaccine, and when they push your button, y'all,
Speaker 1: it's gonna become zombies, and they're gonna be able to
Speaker 1: control y'all. And you're gonna vote the way they want
Speaker 1: you to vote and do what the hell they want
Speaker 1: you to do because you are into some kind of
Speaker 1: I want to be on the I want to be
Speaker 1: like I enjoyed that. Uh, please pay attention to the
Speaker 1: voting rights. When I tell you that you're already putting
Speaker 1: the messages out, I'm sure they're gonna drop the names
Speaker 1: of who doing it. We got to come out for
Speaker 1: real and up. But now they're changing so many longs.
Speaker 1: We got to make sure that everything is all that
Speaker 1: has a dotted and all the teas across because they're
Speaker 1: gonna try to shut us down. And honestly, do you
Speaker 1: have any other thoughts on this because I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: out script here. Well, I do want to go off
Speaker 1: script because I think that it's a great example of
Speaker 1: government persecution. I know this isn't on our list of topics,
Speaker 1: but I don't know, if you guys have watched The
Speaker 1: United States Versus Billy Holiday on Hulu, Nick, have you
Speaker 1: watched it? I encourage everybody to go and watch that.
Speaker 1: I know Lee Daniels people say what they have to
Speaker 1: say about him in terms of directing in his place
Speaker 1: in Hollywood, but I think it's it's a film that
Speaker 1: needs to be watched because it literally talks about the
Speaker 1: latter years of Billy Holliday's life and how she was
Speaker 1: really persecuted by the government for wanting to sing a
Speaker 1: song called Strange Fruit and history lessons. Strange Fruit was
Speaker 1: basically about all the lynchings that were happening throughout the
Speaker 1: South and how strange fruit were the black people hanging
Speaker 1: from these trees. So if you haven't watched it, please
Speaker 1: go and watch the film. But she was being persecuted
Speaker 1: by an individual called His name was Harry um And Slinger,
Speaker 1: and he was a United States government official who served
Speaker 1: as the first Commissioner of the U. S. Tragedies U S.
Speaker 1: Treasuries Department of Federal Bureau of Narcotics, and he used
Speaker 1: Billy Holliday's dres addiction against her or as the forefront
Speaker 1: of the reason why he was going after her, but
Speaker 1: it was really because she wanted to sing the song
Speaker 1: about what was happening in the world. So I'm just
Speaker 1: we're talking about government persecution and different things that are happening.
Speaker 1: It just came to the forefront of my mind. Um,
Speaker 1: but I to understand the construct of this country and
Speaker 1: what the government's true intentions are. I encourage you to
Speaker 1: go watch the film. It's it's it's very very, very
Speaker 1: interesting to see and I know that that's not about
Speaker 1: I think I think all that's completely valid as it sounds.
Speaker 1: It's echoes themes. Also, uh, the Sam Cook went through.
Speaker 1: I don't know that that was unique to African American
Speaker 1: artists during that time because many of them had a platform.
Speaker 1: Same thing with MS. Simon. Many of them had a platform,
Speaker 1: and that made them a target because they once again
Speaker 1: didn't stay in their place, whatever that place is. But
Speaker 1: you know, even with that, I think it's also important
Speaker 1: to remember that there are there were then, there are now.
Speaker 1: I think that there have always been Americans who have
Speaker 1: believed in the promise of Him America and they run
Speaker 1: every hue and they're from every demographic right because I
Speaker 1: do believe that this is still the country where anyone
Speaker 1: can truly be anything that they want to be. But
Speaker 1: I do believe for some and may take more work
Speaker 1: than others, but I believe that one here really can
Speaker 1: crawl from we were just talking about Oprah. One can
Speaker 1: come from a one room shack in uh Tuscagoula, Mississippi,
Speaker 1: ab jack poverty, grow up you know, around addiction, abuse,
Speaker 1: all of that, and literally become the queen of all media.
Speaker 1: One can totally agree with that. I don't. I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't. I think that circumstances a huge
Speaker 1: part of who you can be in this country. I
Speaker 1: really do. Are some people lucky and blessed, absolutely, But
Speaker 1: I don't think that we can sit up here and
Speaker 1: say that this is the land of the Free and
Speaker 1: equal opportunity, because that's just not true. It's not no
Speaker 1: matter how much we try to fantasize about it. That's
Speaker 1: not the facts of life. It's not okay land other Free.
Speaker 1: Y'all will be talking about that Shavin what's his name? Shot?
Speaker 1: What's the man? Yeah? That one land other free? What
Speaker 1: they what? What is going on in his case? They
Speaker 1: saying that they can't He's not gonna get a fair trial. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think that. Um, I personally think they will have
Speaker 1: trouble seating a jury that is impartial. Okay, okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: because how will they I'd be really interested to be
Speaker 1: part of that jury selection team. How do you find
Speaker 1: twelve people who have not seen the video, who have
Speaker 1: never had a feeling about Black Lives matter, or have
Speaker 1: never you know, come on, you know, I think they're
Speaker 1: coming I think they're coming into that completely wrong. I
Speaker 1: think it needs to be twelve people who have seen
Speaker 1: the video, but it needs to be twelve people who
Speaker 1: are also over the age of forty five who have
Speaker 1: lived through some things to understand both sides of that.
Speaker 1: And now, you ain't gonna make me see it, not
Speaker 1: not you, Las Nicholas. Personally, I'm talking about the people.
Speaker 1: Y'all gonna make me see it no kind of way,
Speaker 1: but that it was a murder. It was a murder,
Speaker 1: flat out. But y'all need to see that when we
Speaker 1: see it, when he watching all of us at the
Speaker 1: same time, because if I just want to see what
Speaker 1: he's seen when he looks at it, I'm sure he's
Speaker 1: seen it quite a few times since Dawn self he
Speaker 1: lived it. He probably has replayed it in his man
Speaker 1: hope to God every time he closed his eyes. I
Speaker 1: hope it replays in his head every time until it
Speaker 1: drives some crazy. We now know that he had like
Speaker 1: knelt on someone else's neck, so I think this is
Speaker 1: another practice. It was common practice for him that that
Speaker 1: Why why did this time get me in trouble? What happened? What?
Speaker 1: What viral? That's why it needs to be twelve season.
Speaker 1: Americans that have seen that video, or that have lost
Speaker 1: children to or a loved one to not just police violence,
Speaker 1: but any kind of gun violence, or in any kind
Speaker 1: of victimizing or something, and they need to judge him,
Speaker 1: and they can judge him fairly. There's only one thing
Speaker 1: to judge him. You know that he's guilty, period, but
Speaker 1: they can judge him fairly. Why would you show that
Speaker 1: going to get people who haven't seen that, then they
Speaker 1: hear about it. Oh my god, I was heartbroken. I
Speaker 1: didn't know that. No, but you need to see it.
Speaker 1: We saw it. Well, that's where the vias comes in though.
Speaker 1: That's that's where the argument comes is that it's not
Speaker 1: a fair trial because if you get people who haven't
Speaker 1: seen it, one and I Honestly, I don't know. If
Speaker 1: you can't get somebody who hasn't seen this video, I
Speaker 1: would be very shocked. But that's where the argument comes
Speaker 1: of it being biased, because if you have people that
Speaker 1: already have these preconceived notions about him being guilty, then
Speaker 1: it's not a fair trial. However, I'm by no means
Speaker 1: saying I think he needs to go to jail. But
Speaker 1: the issue then becomes can you prove intent? Because that's
Speaker 1: what this whole is going to be about, is if
Speaker 1: he intentionally meant to murder George Floyd. That's what this is,
Speaker 1: and that's why they're going back and forth between the
Speaker 1: second degree and third degree murder thing. And I believe
Speaker 1: that Ellison is trying to even add a lesser charge
Speaker 1: so that something can be done, right, Yeah, exactly so. Um.
Speaker 1: My main concern though, is even if Derek Chauvin does
Speaker 1: get convicted, is the appeals process. That's what I'm concerned about,
Speaker 1: because we may get a conviction that's gonna be great,
Speaker 1: but then behind closed doors that's when the whole appeals
Speaker 1: process happens. We saw that with um, Um, what's the
Speaker 1: woman's name in Dallas who she's shot? And Field. Uh,
Speaker 1: thank you, John Botham in Dallas. You know, she went
Speaker 1: into his apartment and um shot him and she was
Speaker 1: in the wrong apartment. But she had a whole appeals
Speaker 1: process where she tried to get her conviction overturned and
Speaker 1: was honestly pretty successful. She was. So that's my concern.
Speaker 1: If we get a conviction, I think that that's great.
Speaker 1: I think it's probably more so going to be for
Speaker 1: the optics if the conviction happens, But then what does
Speaker 1: the appeals process look like after that? That that's my
Speaker 1: main concern about this whole situation, because I don't think
Speaker 1: I don't think he's gonna get I don't know if
Speaker 1: you can get an unbiased jury at this point. Because
Speaker 1: the real ty, too is I'll say this that most
Speaker 1: of those did you say the real t Yeah it is.
Speaker 1: You've been around flame too long, look at you. But
Speaker 1: the real about this is most of the people that
Speaker 1: were out protesting were white. Did you see that most
Speaker 1: of the people that were out there were not us?
Speaker 1: This goes back to my promise of America because I
Speaker 1: believe that normal people were bothered by what they saw.
Speaker 1: I don't believe. I don't believe everybody. I don't think.
Speaker 1: I don't believe that you need to look like me
Speaker 1: in order to understand the pain and inequity of what
Speaker 1: happened in Minneapolis. I really don't. And I believe that
Speaker 1: there are enough people who say, you know what, this
Speaker 1: is too much. I'm not comfortable with what I saw
Speaker 1: from my own hired police officers. I'm demonstra rating in
Speaker 1: the street. That's where I believe that every day, Really
Speaker 1: you sit back in you I am. I am completely
Speaker 1: in awe of how gracious and how beautiful people can
Speaker 1: be at the at the most unexpected, the places you
Speaker 1: find love when you don't expect it. I will give
Speaker 1: you that, Nick, I will give you that one. Yes,
Speaker 1: I agree with you on that one. Do you like
Speaker 1: the last one? The last one I didn't, But this one, no,
Speaker 1: I do agree with you. Because we've said this. The
Speaker 1: trajectory and the perspective of people in terms of race,
Speaker 1: I think is changing. People don't White people especially don't
Speaker 1: want to be viewed as racist. The thing that it
Speaker 1: nerves me is people is you know, if white person
Speaker 1: comes to me and says, well, what can I do?
Speaker 1: And I'm like, I'm not I'm not here to give
Speaker 1: you a history lesson, go to your own damn research one.
Speaker 1: But I think that's more so the mentality of people
Speaker 1: nowadays is that what can I really do to help
Speaker 1: and not be on this other side because I don't
Speaker 1: want to be on the wrong side of history. So
Speaker 1: but I think the father, I think the pot has
Speaker 1: boiled up too much, and before the podcast simmer back down,
Speaker 1: they're trying to get the ball going back again. I
Speaker 1: think way more of them are happy in the way
Speaker 1: that the last four years, when that's why so many
Speaker 1: of them came out and marched on the Capitol and
Speaker 1: did ship like that, And I think, why the why
Speaker 1: the going is hot? While it's still hot, they want
Speaker 1: to get it back in and get this nigga back
Speaker 1: in and and keep it moving the way it was.
Speaker 1: We're gonna have to fight with everything we got because
Speaker 1: they're gonna try to cheat with everything that they got.
Speaker 1: And I'm telling you, we don't hold we don't own ship,
Speaker 1: we don't hold the cars to ship. That's why I
Speaker 1: love one this. I see all these black entrepreneurs, jay Z,
Speaker 1: all these people doing all these black businesses and stuff
Speaker 1: to help us out because I'm telling you it's gonna
Speaker 1: become their America and our America if we already then ship.
