0:02:11.680 --> 0:02:13.360
<v Speaker 1>been on stage in the year, so let's see what

0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:16.160
<v Speaker 1>I got outside of that. What's happening in the news,

0:02:16.280 --> 0:02:19.680
<v Speaker 1>Lori hogan Um, It's been a lot of stuff happening

0:02:19.720 --> 0:02:21.480
<v Speaker 1>in the news cycle this week. I think we've got

0:02:21.480 --> 0:02:23.120
<v Speaker 1>a lot of topics before you get to I know

0:02:23.160 --> 0:02:25.120
<v Speaker 1>what you're ready to talk about. But before we go there,

0:02:25.200 --> 0:02:27.880
<v Speaker 1>let me let me go on the fence of my

0:02:28.040 --> 0:02:34.519
<v Speaker 1>guy before we do that. Happy International, Happy International Women's Day.

0:02:34.600 --> 0:02:37.040
<v Speaker 1>You know, we always acknowledge women on this page because

0:02:37.040 --> 0:02:39.800
<v Speaker 1>we are on this platform, because we adore women over here.

0:02:40.040 --> 0:02:43.799
<v Speaker 1>We do. Okay, but now you can go ahead. Sorry, okay,

0:02:43.840 --> 0:02:47.160
<v Speaker 1>So we want to I want to acknowledge the fact

0:02:47.200 --> 0:02:50.120
<v Speaker 1>that I know that the attack on Andrew Cuomo, I

0:02:50.120 --> 0:02:53.880
<v Speaker 1>don't know personally here it has any validity, But I

0:02:53.960 --> 0:02:57.200
<v Speaker 1>really feel the conspiracy of because he stood his ground

0:02:57.240 --> 0:03:00.440
<v Speaker 1>about the whole coronavirus, the way he handled Indian or

0:03:00.720 --> 0:03:02.760
<v Speaker 1>the way he stood up to the ref to the

0:03:02.800 --> 0:03:06.960
<v Speaker 1>Republican administration. I think this is just retaliation on him.

0:03:06.960 --> 0:03:10.280
<v Speaker 1>And I'm sorry here he may have inappropriately somebody on

0:03:10.320 --> 0:03:14.079
<v Speaker 1>the shoulders or whatever, but y'all making it way more

0:03:14.080 --> 0:03:17.600
<v Speaker 1>than what it is. And you're three year old sixty

0:03:18.360 --> 0:03:21.880
<v Speaker 1>proposition you if you take the money, that ain't no trick.

0:03:22.000 --> 0:03:27.640
<v Speaker 1>That is called a business trend. I'm just saying, because

0:03:27.680 --> 0:03:32.520
<v Speaker 1>y'all all coming out against and Chris. They got a

0:03:32.520 --> 0:03:35.120
<v Speaker 1>cap on Chris, because you know, Chris's gangster. Chris gonna

0:03:35.120 --> 0:03:36.880
<v Speaker 1>say how he feels, but he can't. They got Chris

0:03:36.880 --> 0:03:39.840
<v Speaker 1>on luck. He can't freestyle. He's very over protective of

0:03:39.920 --> 0:03:44.920
<v Speaker 1>his family. Listen, UM, I'd like to say this. I

0:03:45.440 --> 0:03:48.360
<v Speaker 1>it is International Women's Day, so we're not going to

0:03:48.400 --> 0:03:54.640
<v Speaker 1>deny any woman's experience. But I think that the investigation

0:03:54.680 --> 0:03:57.520
<v Speaker 1>should happen. Let let's shot James do her job. I

0:03:57.560 --> 0:03:59.760
<v Speaker 1>don't think he needs to resign as of now. No,

0:04:00.320 --> 0:04:03.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't agree with that because we've had several, you know,

0:04:03.640 --> 0:04:05.440
<v Speaker 1>individuals on the other side of the ile case. In

0:04:05.480 --> 0:04:08.760
<v Speaker 1>point Trump, he had the whole as Access Hollywood tape

0:04:08.840 --> 0:04:12.840
<v Speaker 1>where he was, you know, blatantly admitting to sexually harassing women,

0:04:12.880 --> 0:04:14.760
<v Speaker 1>and he still was able to keep you know, his

0:04:14.800 --> 0:04:18.920
<v Speaker 1>seat and office, not comparing the two. I think that

0:04:19.040 --> 0:04:21.920
<v Speaker 1>let the instigation happen because I think the one thing

0:04:21.960 --> 0:04:25.200
<v Speaker 1>that Clomo is doing that others really having is he's apologizing.

0:04:25.680 --> 0:04:27.880
<v Speaker 1>He's saying, if that's your experience, and if that's how

0:04:27.920 --> 0:04:30.440
<v Speaker 1>I made you feel, I apologize. It wasn't my intent.

0:04:30.760 --> 0:04:34.520
<v Speaker 1>So he's not necessarily admitting his wrong but I acknowledging

0:04:34.600 --> 0:04:37.800
<v Speaker 1>the experience that these women have. I think it's very responsible,

0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:41.479
<v Speaker 1>and he didn't it is wrong, But that apology was

0:04:41.720 --> 0:04:46.800
<v Speaker 1>weak as a old lady's team baby. Well, oh, I

0:04:46.839 --> 0:04:49.520
<v Speaker 1>saw that apology. It was like I'm reading, and what

0:04:49.640 --> 0:04:51.520
<v Speaker 1>I did not like about it what it was that

0:04:51.600 --> 0:04:54.160
<v Speaker 1>it made like they made him sing like they forced

0:04:56.480 --> 0:05:00.440
<v Speaker 1>to me, it felt forced, because those Pomo will stand

0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:02.839
<v Speaker 1>their ground and say how they feel that don't back down.

0:05:02.880 --> 0:05:04.520
<v Speaker 1>But he is in a position where he does not

0:05:04.680 --> 0:05:07.240
<v Speaker 1>want to not be the mayor of New York. I

0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:09.000
<v Speaker 1>get I mean the governor of the saiding look and

0:05:09.040 --> 0:05:11.719
<v Speaker 1>I get that. But just what you just said, that

0:05:11.760 --> 0:05:13.320
<v Speaker 1>was a great point that you just said, and he

0:05:13.440 --> 0:05:15.800
<v Speaker 1>said on his apology, y'all voted me in. I'm not

0:05:15.880 --> 0:05:18.640
<v Speaker 1>stepping down. We said this about lower life but a

0:05:18.680 --> 0:05:22.719
<v Speaker 1>couple of weeks ago, the country, the state of New

0:05:22.800 --> 0:05:25.480
<v Speaker 1>York voted for Cuomo. So even if y'all got twenty

0:05:25.520 --> 0:05:30.359
<v Speaker 1>five five thousand people that's upset with him, umb're not

0:05:30.360 --> 0:05:33.400
<v Speaker 1>gonna outweigh who all voted for this man. So y'all

0:05:33.440 --> 0:05:35.680
<v Speaker 1>need to just deal with it. I'm like, you know,

0:05:35.920 --> 0:05:38.440
<v Speaker 1>let the investigation play out, pull out whatever stops, y'all

0:05:38.480 --> 0:05:40.920
<v Speaker 1>gonna pull out because I'll know it's all a conspiracy scam.

0:05:41.240 --> 0:05:44.960
<v Speaker 1>But I'm team Andrew Cuomo until it comes out, you know,

0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:49.359
<v Speaker 1>And I'm sick of them all these women coming out now, child,

0:05:49.400 --> 0:05:51.120
<v Speaker 1>they came out against Trump, and I'm like, you lo

0:05:51.320 --> 0:05:53.600
<v Speaker 1>Trump to lose his job. So I don't know. I

0:05:54.040 --> 0:05:57.960
<v Speaker 1>just think it's a very sticky situation and until proven guilty,

0:05:58.120 --> 0:06:01.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm still team Andrew Cuomo. So yeah, I agree. I

0:06:01.360 --> 0:06:05.400
<v Speaker 1>think that, you know, everybody is innocent until proven guilty.

0:06:05.560 --> 0:06:08.480
<v Speaker 1>And I hate to go here, but I am a

0:06:08.560 --> 0:06:11.440
<v Speaker 1>little skeptical because one woman that came out today is

0:06:11.440 --> 0:06:14.080
<v Speaker 1>a known, you know, adversory of Cuomo. She and Cuomo

0:06:14.200 --> 0:06:17.640
<v Speaker 1>had issues, and she came out today again not denying

0:06:17.640 --> 0:06:20.920
<v Speaker 1>anybody's experience, just six you know, expressing my transparent thoughts.

0:06:21.120 --> 0:06:23.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm a little skeptical about that. And then one accuser

0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:27.200
<v Speaker 1>also said that, you know, she was sexually you know,

0:06:27.480 --> 0:06:30.160
<v Speaker 1>harassed by Cuomo and one time he hugged her and

0:06:30.200 --> 0:06:32.280
<v Speaker 1>she could tell he was aroused. And I was like, well, well,

0:06:32.279 --> 0:06:35.400
<v Speaker 1>how could you tell? What does that mean? So I

0:06:35.440 --> 0:06:38.160
<v Speaker 1>need a little more receipts, a little more you know,

0:06:38.760 --> 0:06:42.160
<v Speaker 1>he had story he didn't have, He had a wood

0:06:42.160 --> 0:06:44.200
<v Speaker 1>he laid upon. She know she liked it. I don't

0:06:44.200 --> 0:06:45.640
<v Speaker 1>know why she's front. I don't know why she on

0:06:45.720 --> 0:06:48.279
<v Speaker 1>front and just say, oh, I felt that monster on me.

0:06:48.520 --> 0:06:50.599
<v Speaker 1>But if that's the situation, why don't you say that,

0:06:51.000 --> 0:06:52.800
<v Speaker 1>why don't you say that? You know, I could felt that,

0:06:53.000 --> 0:06:55.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, I felt he was you know, correct when

0:06:55.760 --> 0:06:58.080
<v Speaker 1>he hugged me. She's saying, I can tell that he's aroused.

0:06:58.120 --> 0:07:02.560
<v Speaker 1>Nothing that's touch touchy subject because as a person who

0:07:02.600 --> 0:07:05.600
<v Speaker 1>can't get aroused and be standing, you know, because I

0:07:05.640 --> 0:07:08.520
<v Speaker 1>know the difference between sticks and something, I'm a stick,

0:07:08.560 --> 0:07:12.000
<v Speaker 1>not a song. Any who, he might have been aroused

0:07:12.080 --> 0:07:15.720
<v Speaker 1>already and before he hugged her, and you know, from

0:07:15.760 --> 0:07:18.200
<v Speaker 1>something else, and they just hugged at an inappropriate time,

0:07:18.240 --> 0:07:21.040
<v Speaker 1>and she felt his erections. You know what I'm saying.

0:07:21.320 --> 0:07:22.920
<v Speaker 1>So I'm with you long and give us some more

0:07:22.960 --> 0:07:24.800
<v Speaker 1>details about that, because he might not have been looking

0:07:24.840 --> 0:07:26.800
<v Speaker 1>at your funny looking as he might have been looking

0:07:26.840 --> 0:07:28.600
<v Speaker 1>at somebody else and you just was there to be

0:07:28.760 --> 0:07:31.200
<v Speaker 1>hugged at that moment. So you were really the benefits

0:07:31.240 --> 0:07:33.800
<v Speaker 1>of him looking at another woman. Yeah, I'm just and

0:07:33.880 --> 0:07:35.400
<v Speaker 1>he said, you know to he was like, you know,

0:07:35.480 --> 0:07:38.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm Italian. My family were very love eve, we were

0:07:38.800 --> 0:07:42.200
<v Speaker 1>affectionate people. So he said, I never meant to make

0:07:42.280 --> 0:07:46.120
<v Speaker 1>anybody feel uncomfortable. Again, I'm not denying any woman's experience.

0:07:46.160 --> 0:07:48.240
<v Speaker 1>I think that it's great that people are coming forward.

0:07:48.400 --> 0:07:50.720
<v Speaker 1>And I think it's also interesting too that Andrew Cuomo's

0:07:50.760 --> 0:07:53.560
<v Speaker 1>at the forefront and all these GOP lawmakers are saying

0:07:53.600 --> 0:07:55.440
<v Speaker 1>that he needs to step down in New York, but

0:07:55.520 --> 0:07:58.120
<v Speaker 1>nobody's going after Jim Jordan's. Well, let me tell what

0:07:58.200 --> 0:08:01.320
<v Speaker 1>I most admired about Andrew Cuomo. He back down from Yeah,

0:08:01.720 --> 0:08:04.560
<v Speaker 1>every day he's talking about he's not avoiding it. He's

0:08:04.600 --> 0:08:07.360
<v Speaker 1>not scared. He's standing. He putting in they holding his

0:08:07.400 --> 0:08:09.640
<v Speaker 1>feet to the fire. He's saying, burn me because I'm

0:08:09.680 --> 0:08:12.520
<v Speaker 1>coming with it. That's what I respect the most about it. Uh,

0:08:12.680 --> 0:08:14.880
<v Speaker 1>y'all wait in on this. What y'all think, especially if

0:08:14.920 --> 0:08:17.240
<v Speaker 1>you're in New York or in that area. Y'all, y'all

0:08:17.320 --> 0:08:19.640
<v Speaker 1>let us know what y'all think. Because I'm sorry, I'm

0:08:19.680 --> 0:08:28.320
<v Speaker 1>still team Cuomo. Because Lauren wants to talk about I said,

0:08:28.360 --> 0:08:30.880
<v Speaker 1>make sure you watched the CBS interview because it's gonna

0:08:30.920 --> 0:08:34.120
<v Speaker 1>be deep. I saw the trailer, So what did you

0:08:34.200 --> 0:08:37.160
<v Speaker 1>think about it? I think my black Girl magic joke

0:08:37.360 --> 0:08:40.560
<v Speaker 1>still works to this day. That Ms Megan Marco got

0:08:40.640 --> 0:08:46.839
<v Speaker 1>the whoop and she had hooked her a prince. That

0:08:47.080 --> 0:08:49.000
<v Speaker 1>is so good that he said he only want to

0:08:49.000 --> 0:08:51.520
<v Speaker 1>be a prince. No, Mo, that's when you know it's fire.

0:08:52.360 --> 0:08:56.000
<v Speaker 1>I love that Harry still about his wife. And I

0:08:56.120 --> 0:08:58.599
<v Speaker 1>love that Harry experienced what happened to his mother and

0:08:58.679 --> 0:09:02.400
<v Speaker 1>he didn't say it to us per se, but the

0:09:02.480 --> 0:09:05.880
<v Speaker 1>insinuations of I'm saving my wife's from the tragedy of

0:09:05.960 --> 0:09:08.959
<v Speaker 1>what happened to my mother. That he actually said that,

0:09:09.400 --> 0:09:12.080
<v Speaker 1>not verbally, but in his manner region and the way

0:09:12.120 --> 0:09:15.160
<v Speaker 1>he spoke. I was with that because you know, from

0:09:15.200 --> 0:09:17.959
<v Speaker 1>what I know of being a woman or being with

0:09:18.080 --> 0:09:20.240
<v Speaker 1>a woman, and pretending to be a woman. I want

0:09:20.280 --> 0:09:22.800
<v Speaker 1>to feel safe. I want to feel protective. Women love

0:09:22.880 --> 0:09:25.240
<v Speaker 1>to feel protected when they were a man that made

0:09:25.280 --> 0:09:27.640
<v Speaker 1>her feel safe. She did feel safe over in the England.

0:09:27.679 --> 0:09:31.839
<v Speaker 1>He was doing too much. Yeah, I I have a

0:09:31.880 --> 0:09:35.480
<v Speaker 1>lot of thoughts about this issue. One, I'm very happy

0:09:35.800 --> 0:09:38.600
<v Speaker 1>that Megan finally got to use her voice and really

0:09:38.720 --> 0:09:41.800
<v Speaker 1>expressed and explain what she was going through. The fact that,

0:09:41.960 --> 0:09:45.439
<v Speaker 1>you know, the the UK Press was really twisting everything

0:09:45.679 --> 0:09:47.480
<v Speaker 1>so that way. It made it seem like she was

0:09:47.559 --> 0:09:50.440
<v Speaker 1>this big villain, and in some instances it was Kate

0:09:50.520 --> 0:09:52.719
<v Speaker 1>that was messing with her with the whole bridesmaids thing, like,

0:09:52.720 --> 0:09:54.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't understand how you make somebody cry right before

0:09:54.800 --> 0:09:58.640
<v Speaker 1>their wedding. I think that's absolutely crazy. And I also

0:09:58.720 --> 0:10:03.600
<v Speaker 1>think too this whole issue around having one a discussion

0:10:03.640 --> 0:10:07.200
<v Speaker 1>about Archie. Their son is not gonna is not getting security,

0:10:07.240 --> 0:10:09.120
<v Speaker 1>he's not getting a title. But you also had a

0:10:09.160 --> 0:10:11.719
<v Speaker 1>conversation about well, how dark is his skin going to be,

0:10:14.240 --> 0:10:16.200
<v Speaker 1>which to me is crazy because I think a lot

0:10:16.280 --> 0:10:18.520
<v Speaker 1>of people forget the simple fact that there was a

0:10:18.600 --> 0:10:20.560
<v Speaker 1>black Queen of England once upon a time, and her

0:10:20.600 --> 0:10:24.000
<v Speaker 1>name was Queen Charlotte. How dark was she? Queen Charlotte

0:10:24.440 --> 0:10:28.920
<v Speaker 1>was darker than Megan. Megan, ain't that dark? Well? I know, Megan,

0:10:29.400 --> 0:10:31.560
<v Speaker 1>she's like. But my thing is, there was a black

0:10:31.640 --> 0:10:34.400
<v Speaker 1>Queen of England once upon a time. And I feel

0:10:34.440 --> 0:10:36.800
<v Speaker 1>like when we talk about when you write history, I

0:10:36.880 --> 0:10:39.760
<v Speaker 1>hope you write it correctly. Is much if you look

0:10:39.800 --> 0:10:43.960
<v Speaker 1>at images of Queen Charlotte, she looks whitewashed in some photos,

0:10:44.080 --> 0:10:47.199
<v Speaker 1>but some you can actually see her true shoe. She

0:10:47.440 --> 0:10:51.040
<v Speaker 1>was black. You know what's this hardening about the whole

0:10:51.080 --> 0:10:54.520
<v Speaker 1>black and white situation? Is that or black and dark

0:10:54.600 --> 0:10:57.240
<v Speaker 1>and light skin black people. What if he would have

0:10:57.280 --> 0:10:59.440
<v Speaker 1>took a dark, dark woman home? What if he would

0:10:59.440 --> 0:11:01.600
<v Speaker 1>have took a woman as dark as Lupe to Niango,

0:11:01.800 --> 0:11:04.839
<v Speaker 1>as gorgeous as she is, but that black baby, the

0:11:04.880 --> 0:11:06.960
<v Speaker 1>Queen would have probably had an old stroke right there

0:11:06.960 --> 0:11:08.640
<v Speaker 1>and just said, you know what you'll been trying to

0:11:08.640 --> 0:11:10.040
<v Speaker 1>get rid of me. Let me just go because I

0:11:10.120 --> 0:11:13.599
<v Speaker 1>can't do it. But the gag is Oprah went on

0:11:13.880 --> 0:11:17.800
<v Speaker 1>CBS this morning with her good girlfriend Gail se Gail

0:11:17.880 --> 0:11:22.199
<v Speaker 1>and said that the comments about how the skin color

0:11:22.240 --> 0:11:25.960
<v Speaker 1>of Archie did not come from the queen or um

0:11:26.200 --> 0:11:29.400
<v Speaker 1>Harry's grandfather. Who did they come from? They didn't say,

0:11:29.920 --> 0:11:31.599
<v Speaker 1>because you know, Harry was like, I'm not going to

0:11:31.880 --> 0:11:33.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, damage anybody. I don't want to put that

0:11:33.960 --> 0:11:36.800
<v Speaker 1>out there. But according to Oprah, she said this morning

0:11:36.840 --> 0:11:39.280
<v Speaker 1>that Harry wanted me to, if I had the opportunity

0:11:39.400 --> 0:11:41.079
<v Speaker 1>to speak about it, to say, it was not my

0:11:41.160 --> 0:11:45.199
<v Speaker 1>grandmother and it wasn't my grandfather. So that narrowed to

0:11:45.280 --> 0:11:48.360
<v Speaker 1>pull down to about three people. And that's either his father,

0:11:49.120 --> 0:11:52.240
<v Speaker 1>his brother or Kate. Well, real talk the queen and

0:11:52.600 --> 0:11:57.240
<v Speaker 1>and and and prince. What's what's the king's name? Was

0:11:57.360 --> 0:12:02.480
<v Speaker 1>his name? Not the son, that's the son. They about

0:12:02.520 --> 0:12:04.640
<v Speaker 1>two hundreds. They might not know who in the house

0:12:04.720 --> 0:12:09.360
<v Speaker 1>for real, No way, you're they might need a privilege

0:12:09.480 --> 0:12:11.280
<v Speaker 1>feel or some ship because they might not know who

0:12:11.320 --> 0:12:13.120
<v Speaker 1>all up in there. They're a little old. Just be

0:12:13.240 --> 0:12:15.959
<v Speaker 1>real tall um, I don't even know who was this

0:12:16.080 --> 0:12:18.640
<v Speaker 1>grunted about it, And I love the herring them just

0:12:18.720 --> 0:12:20.800
<v Speaker 1>got out. It's just better for the children now they're

0:12:20.800 --> 0:12:24.800
<v Speaker 1>having another baby. It's also better for their spirit. Don't

0:12:24.920 --> 0:12:27.120
<v Speaker 1>like she can't live with all that chaos and all

0:12:27.200 --> 0:12:29.680
<v Speaker 1>that stress, and she's pregnant, the baby will be still

0:12:29.800 --> 0:12:32.000
<v Speaker 1>born or she'll have a miscarriage or something. It's just

0:12:32.080 --> 0:12:34.120
<v Speaker 1>too much, especially when you feel like your life is

0:12:34.120 --> 0:12:37.439
<v Speaker 1>in danger or it's in peril. Thank you, Harry for

0:12:37.520 --> 0:12:39.480
<v Speaker 1>sticking up for your wife. More men need to do that.

0:12:39.679 --> 0:12:41.719
<v Speaker 1>I see it what I said. And she was suicidal

0:12:41.800 --> 0:12:44.800
<v Speaker 1>to to make it all worse, you know what I mean? Suicidal,

0:12:45.240 --> 0:12:47.280
<v Speaker 1>asked for help them, was like I need I need

0:12:47.360 --> 0:12:49.000
<v Speaker 1>some assistance. Never I was like, I don't know, want

0:12:49.040 --> 0:12:50.560
<v Speaker 1>to tell you, you've got to figure it out. Well,

0:12:50.600 --> 0:12:52.480
<v Speaker 1>if you've never seen the papers, the tabloids over there,

0:12:52.520 --> 0:12:54.640
<v Speaker 1>they dog that they call all every name you could

0:12:54.679 --> 0:12:57.520
<v Speaker 1>possibly think of. That and she's an attractive woman. They

0:12:57.640 --> 0:13:00.760
<v Speaker 1>told her in half your constitution, it has to be

0:13:01.240 --> 0:13:03.559
<v Speaker 1>very strong in order to take some of the stuff

0:13:03.600 --> 0:13:05.880
<v Speaker 1>that they're gonna throw at you when you're thrust into

0:13:05.960 --> 0:13:08.920
<v Speaker 1>that position. And she didn't want it, and that's that's

0:13:08.960 --> 0:13:11.000
<v Speaker 1>a great synopsis to going to the next thing. But

0:13:11.360 --> 0:13:13.400
<v Speaker 1>she didn't, just like you know me and Maddie was

0:13:13.480 --> 0:13:15.400
<v Speaker 1>on last week and she said that she was thrust

0:13:15.440 --> 0:13:18.920
<v Speaker 1>into being l g B t Q activists. I don't

0:13:18.920 --> 0:13:21.360
<v Speaker 1>feel like I was thrusting to anything. I'm gonna do

0:13:21.400 --> 0:13:22.599
<v Speaker 1>it if I want to do it. I'm gonna do it.

0:13:22.640 --> 0:13:24.760
<v Speaker 1>If it's something that's important to me, or I think

0:13:24.800 --> 0:13:26.800
<v Speaker 1>it's important for the cause, I'm gonna speak on it.

0:13:27.080 --> 0:13:29.920
<v Speaker 1>If it's not, guess what I'm not. And she didn't

0:13:29.920 --> 0:13:32.480
<v Speaker 1>want to do it, I don't blame. Let's see if

0:13:32.480 --> 0:13:34.679
<v Speaker 1>we can bring somebody into listen. I don't blame. I

0:13:34.760 --> 0:13:44.000
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't have did it either. Hello Hello, Hello, Hello, hello hello. Okay,

0:13:44.640 --> 0:13:49.160
<v Speaker 1>what oh my god? Thank god. Alright. If if at

0:13:49.200 --> 0:13:52.719
<v Speaker 1>first you don't succeed, try try again, people. That's the

0:13:52.800 --> 0:13:56.040
<v Speaker 1>motto of the day. Happy international women say if people.

0:13:56.800 --> 0:14:02.040
<v Speaker 1>So we were talking about Megan Marco obviously yeah, she

0:14:02.280 --> 0:14:05.360
<v Speaker 1>and Harry had with Obrah. What is it like? What

0:14:05.559 --> 0:14:08.679
<v Speaker 1>is the backlash? What is the vibe over there in England? Well,

0:14:09.240 --> 0:14:11.679
<v Speaker 1>it's funny because at the time different at the at

0:14:11.760 --> 0:14:15.199
<v Speaker 1>this present moment, it's actually been shown live here in

0:14:15.320 --> 0:14:17.920
<v Speaker 1>the UK, so if you can see it's on the

0:14:18.040 --> 0:14:21.480
<v Speaker 1>TV here. So the England are just seeing the interview

0:14:21.600 --> 0:14:25.200
<v Speaker 1>now it's like them about half an hour ago. But

0:14:25.800 --> 0:14:28.680
<v Speaker 1>we've had obviously little snippets from when you had it

0:14:28.840 --> 0:14:32.560
<v Speaker 1>yesterday from the American media and let me tell you,

0:14:32.800 --> 0:14:35.640
<v Speaker 1>England has gone crazy for I was up from six

0:14:35.680 --> 0:14:41.000
<v Speaker 1>o'clock this morning and straight from the off the backlash

0:14:41.320 --> 0:14:44.920
<v Speaker 1>over here, the negative basically, the British press over here

0:14:45.400 --> 0:14:49.800
<v Speaker 1>a damning Megan, They're damning Harry, They're calling them traditors.

0:14:50.440 --> 0:14:54.040
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's such a twist of fate in a

0:14:54.160 --> 0:14:58.000
<v Speaker 1>sex sense, because like you know, yes, when we kind

0:14:58.040 --> 0:15:01.280
<v Speaker 1>of had I personally, I wasn't a fan of Megan,

0:15:01.720 --> 0:15:04.440
<v Speaker 1>but when she become a member of the royal family,

0:15:05.000 --> 0:15:08.920
<v Speaker 1>I gave hope for the establishment because the British establishment

0:15:09.000 --> 0:15:13.360
<v Speaker 1>has always been inherently racist. The problem is the British

0:15:13.440 --> 0:15:18.000
<v Speaker 1>establishment will never acknowledge that. They will duck dive, go around,

0:15:18.320 --> 0:15:22.000
<v Speaker 1>not even discuss. You know, but as a black woman

0:15:22.120 --> 0:15:25.000
<v Speaker 1>born in England, I'm fifty three, I've lived on my

0:15:25.120 --> 0:15:28.880
<v Speaker 1>life in England. I can tell you England has always

0:15:28.880 --> 0:15:33.680
<v Speaker 1>been inherently racist. I personally, you know, I've only had

0:15:33.760 --> 0:15:36.640
<v Speaker 1>one person, and this was when I was maybe by

0:15:36.800 --> 0:15:40.040
<v Speaker 1>thirty eight. I had this old man. I was walking

0:15:40.120 --> 0:15:43.040
<v Speaker 1>to a post office, a great old Englishman, and he

0:15:43.160 --> 0:15:45.720
<v Speaker 1>called me a black bitch, the first time anyone's actually

0:15:45.720 --> 0:15:47.280
<v Speaker 1>said that to my face. I didn't say nothing to

0:15:47.360 --> 0:15:49.960
<v Speaker 1>him because he's an older man, and anyhow you've gone

0:15:50.000 --> 0:15:52.800
<v Speaker 1>cast an older man in England, you know, I'm going

0:15:52.840 --> 0:15:55.680
<v Speaker 1>to be the aggressor, even though he was the aggressor

0:15:55.720 --> 0:15:59.680
<v Speaker 1>towards me. But you have to understand England's history. It's

0:15:59.720 --> 0:16:02.960
<v Speaker 1>not like the American history where you've got your slavery.

0:16:03.320 --> 0:16:06.960
<v Speaker 1>Our history was more They invited us over here from

0:16:07.040 --> 0:16:10.680
<v Speaker 1>like the sixties when our parents came over. But although

0:16:10.720 --> 0:16:13.640
<v Speaker 1>they invited us to do their menial jobs, the problem

0:16:13.760 --> 0:16:16.320
<v Speaker 1>is the white people they're here, they didn't want they

0:16:16.320 --> 0:16:17.720
<v Speaker 1>don't want to know. There is to be a sign

0:16:17.800 --> 0:16:21.680
<v Speaker 1>on pubs no dogs, no blacks, no Irish, do you

0:16:21.760 --> 0:16:24.760
<v Speaker 1>know what I mean? So you can imagine that inherent

0:16:25.000 --> 0:16:28.640
<v Speaker 1>racism is still living in this twenty one century, even

0:16:28.720 --> 0:16:32.440
<v Speaker 1>though we have a lot of multicultural relationships in England.

0:16:32.760 --> 0:16:35.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm not speaking for America. You know, we have a

0:16:35.240 --> 0:16:39.760
<v Speaker 1>lot of you know, multicultural relationships. But the problem isn't

0:16:39.800 --> 0:16:44.960
<v Speaker 1>necessary with the modern kids moving forward. It's with their parents,

0:16:45.320 --> 0:16:49.360
<v Speaker 1>with their grandparents that is still embreedded in there, let's

0:16:49.400 --> 0:16:52.480
<v Speaker 1>say Psyche. And so when you have someone like Megan

0:16:53.000 --> 0:16:57.360
<v Speaker 1>that's married Harry, Harry was considered rebel anyway, But the

0:16:57.440 --> 0:17:00.800
<v Speaker 1>problem is there's too many difference is to the way

0:17:01.240 --> 0:17:04.840
<v Speaker 1>his mother was treated and had they treated Diana. But

0:17:04.920 --> 0:17:07.200
<v Speaker 1>the problem is with the British press, they would never

0:17:07.359 --> 0:17:11.159
<v Speaker 1>acknowledge Megan was has been treated the same way as

0:17:11.240 --> 0:17:15.399
<v Speaker 1>Harry's mother was treated and sadly because of all the situations,

0:17:15.440 --> 0:17:18.359
<v Speaker 1>she lost her life because of it. Um the firm,

0:17:18.560 --> 0:17:22.480
<v Speaker 1>as Megan mentioned it, which is the British monarchy, it's

0:17:22.520 --> 0:17:26.440
<v Speaker 1>a very in house. We will never know the reality

0:17:26.520 --> 0:17:28.920
<v Speaker 1>is what goes on behind closed doors. And let me

0:17:29.040 --> 0:17:31.199
<v Speaker 1>just say as a black woman, I personally have been

0:17:31.240 --> 0:17:34.200
<v Speaker 1>to bucking And Palace three times. My dad was given

0:17:34.240 --> 0:17:38.040
<v Speaker 1>an mbach remember the British Empire back in twenty twelve.

0:17:38.119 --> 0:17:41.040
<v Speaker 1>I've met the Queen personally, I've met members of a

0:17:41.119 --> 0:17:45.399
<v Speaker 1>roll family due to my my job. But the problem

0:17:45.560 --> 0:17:48.439
<v Speaker 1>is u when you meet them, yes, they smile, they

0:17:48.480 --> 0:17:52.080
<v Speaker 1>will shake your hand. That's the public the publicity side

0:17:52.119 --> 0:17:54.399
<v Speaker 1>of it. When you go behind closed doors, it's a

0:17:54.520 --> 0:17:58.800
<v Speaker 1>very different side. And you remember Megan was one royal

0:17:59.240 --> 0:18:03.280
<v Speaker 1>you don't forget, also had Fergie Um Ferguson. She was

0:18:03.400 --> 0:18:06.800
<v Speaker 1>married to um Andrew. She had issues with the royals.

0:18:07.119 --> 0:18:10.879
<v Speaker 1>She went to America. They damned her in America. I

0:18:11.119 --> 0:18:14.600
<v Speaker 1>just hope that you know. The problem with now, I

0:18:14.720 --> 0:18:16.000
<v Speaker 1>keep saying, at the end of the day, you've got

0:18:16.040 --> 0:18:19.080
<v Speaker 1>two issues. You've got Harry and Megan. They are family.

0:18:19.720 --> 0:18:23.720
<v Speaker 1>The Queen is Harry's grandmother, so you've got a family

0:18:23.840 --> 0:18:26.160
<v Speaker 1>side of things, and you also got a monarchy side

0:18:26.200 --> 0:18:29.080
<v Speaker 1>of things, the family side of things. You know, I'm

0:18:29.200 --> 0:18:32.840
<v Speaker 1>hoping that you know, Harriet, Harry and Megan will stay together.

0:18:32.920 --> 0:18:36.760
<v Speaker 1>They will you know, strife forward. M She's obviously expecting

0:18:36.800 --> 0:18:39.800
<v Speaker 1>her second child, which believes as a girl. She's got Archie,

0:18:39.880 --> 0:18:42.520
<v Speaker 1>which is seventh in line to the throne. Let's not forget.

0:18:42.960 --> 0:18:45.320
<v Speaker 1>If anything happens to the other members, Archie will be

0:18:45.520 --> 0:18:49.840
<v Speaker 1>King of England, so let's not forget that. And but

0:18:49.960 --> 0:18:53.680
<v Speaker 1>the actual monarchy itself, it's a hard institution. And yeah,

0:18:53.760 --> 0:18:55.879
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry it's still in her relationship. There was a

0:18:55.960 --> 0:19:01.040
<v Speaker 1>lady on TV Dr Schrula, Amma she basically, you know, um,

0:19:01.600 --> 0:19:04.480
<v Speaker 1>let it be known to the world how racist England is.

0:19:04.560 --> 0:19:07.080
<v Speaker 1>But right now the backlash she's terrible because a lot

0:19:07.119 --> 0:19:09.919
<v Speaker 1>of the media saying, oh no, there's no racism in England.

0:19:10.000 --> 0:19:13.159
<v Speaker 1>We love everybody, you know, come well, let me let

0:19:13.200 --> 0:19:16.159
<v Speaker 1>me ask you a few things. Michelle, So, um, you

0:19:16.320 --> 0:19:18.720
<v Speaker 1>turned on You said you originally didn't like Megan. Why

0:19:18.800 --> 0:19:22.000
<v Speaker 1>why did you originally like her? No? I see this.

0:19:22.280 --> 0:19:24.680
<v Speaker 1>I didn't like Megan because of who she you know,

0:19:24.800 --> 0:19:26.440
<v Speaker 1>she was to me, she just you know, she you know,

0:19:26.600 --> 0:19:29.400
<v Speaker 1>like you said, celebrity. I didn't watch suits, I didn't

0:19:29.400 --> 0:19:32.560
<v Speaker 1>not think about her. But I like the fact anything

0:19:32.600 --> 0:19:36.200
<v Speaker 1>I began to like Megan more as a person, not

0:19:36.400 --> 0:19:39.080
<v Speaker 1>because of what she's done as an actress or you know,

0:19:39.160 --> 0:19:42.800
<v Speaker 1>a model wherever. I wasn't necessary in you know, all

0:19:43.000 --> 0:19:45.639
<v Speaker 1>over her work. But I like the fact that you know,

0:19:45.840 --> 0:19:49.000
<v Speaker 1>she kind she stuck it out, she came, she stayed

0:19:49.119 --> 0:19:52.720
<v Speaker 1>in it, She tried to live in England. She obviously

0:19:53.280 --> 0:19:57.399
<v Speaker 1>with Harry, it's a step you know, we have to

0:19:57.480 --> 0:19:59.280
<v Speaker 1>go in England, we have to claim what we claim.

0:19:59.320 --> 0:20:02.160
<v Speaker 1>And for us, she was you know, although she's mixed heritage,

0:20:02.359 --> 0:20:04.639
<v Speaker 1>he's still a black woman. So for us it was

0:20:05.000 --> 0:20:07.720
<v Speaker 1>a step forward that you know, at least the monarchy

0:20:07.760 --> 0:20:11.640
<v Speaker 1>has maybe opened up the doors for a bi racial relationship.

0:20:12.119 --> 0:20:14.160
<v Speaker 1>But you know, it was always going to be difficult

0:20:14.200 --> 0:20:17.200
<v Speaker 1>from the off, because yes, before when they were dating

0:20:17.280 --> 0:20:19.920
<v Speaker 1>the media was very negative. Then they got married and

0:20:20.000 --> 0:20:22.760
<v Speaker 1>everyone loved them. And then when they decided to say

0:20:22.800 --> 0:20:25.240
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna go and live in Canada first, then moved

0:20:25.280 --> 0:20:28.320
<v Speaker 1>to America. That's when you know people over here see

0:20:28.400 --> 0:20:32.200
<v Speaker 1>them traitors and everything else. When she has this baby, Michelle,

0:20:32.320 --> 0:20:35.320
<v Speaker 1>this little girl, all she needs to do is name

0:20:35.359 --> 0:20:39.399
<v Speaker 1>that little girl Diana, and the entire country of England

0:20:39.440 --> 0:20:41.920
<v Speaker 1>will forgive her. And the point, you're gonna have to

0:20:41.960 --> 0:20:44.639
<v Speaker 1>go to the old ass down and that old broad

0:20:44.840 --> 0:20:48.200
<v Speaker 1>Carmella and that old that old player who ain't gonna

0:20:48.240 --> 0:20:50.879
<v Speaker 1>never be the king Prince Charles, because I think that

0:20:51.040 --> 0:20:53.480
<v Speaker 1>she would die before she allows Prince Charles to be

0:20:53.560 --> 0:20:56.359
<v Speaker 1>the Prince. I think that the only reason he is

0:20:56.440 --> 0:20:59.119
<v Speaker 1>not she has not appointed him. She knows that he

0:20:59.200 --> 0:21:01.359
<v Speaker 1>does not has have what it takes. I wish we

0:21:01.440 --> 0:21:03.679
<v Speaker 1>had over here because we just put up with four

0:21:03.760 --> 0:21:07.399
<v Speaker 1>years of boys shit. But you know we literally but

0:21:07.560 --> 0:21:10.919
<v Speaker 1>we But if she has a daughter and she supposed

0:21:11.240 --> 0:21:13.920
<v Speaker 1>the girl and she named that baby Diana, ain't gonna

0:21:13.920 --> 0:21:16.040
<v Speaker 1>forgive everything. They're gonna forget. They're gonna tell the Queen

0:21:16.080 --> 0:21:21.920
<v Speaker 1>to go to somewhere. So I'm curious though, because we

0:21:22.320 --> 0:21:25.560
<v Speaker 1>talked about, you know, history on this side in America.

0:21:25.680 --> 0:21:28.960
<v Speaker 1>We all know that history is very westernized in the

0:21:29.040 --> 0:21:32.479
<v Speaker 1>stories properly in terms of who did what, civil rights,

0:21:32.560 --> 0:21:36.960
<v Speaker 1>those sorts of things. So I'm curious Queen Charlotte talked

0:21:36.960 --> 0:21:40.200
<v Speaker 1>about in England as being a black queen, like she

0:21:40.400 --> 0:21:42.840
<v Speaker 1>was the first black queen. I feel like nobody talks

0:21:42.840 --> 0:21:48.840
<v Speaker 1>about like the no, no, that that there was a

0:21:48.920 --> 0:21:52.359
<v Speaker 1>black queen. You have a little bit more information on

0:21:52.520 --> 0:21:54.720
<v Speaker 1>that there was a black queen, but it's never been

0:21:55.400 --> 0:21:58.359
<v Speaker 1>It's never been let's say, publicized, because he has to

0:21:58.400 --> 0:22:01.080
<v Speaker 1>pay in mine. The queen family itself is full of

0:22:01.200 --> 0:22:05.840
<v Speaker 1>Germans and Greeks. You know, England itself is if you

0:22:05.920 --> 0:22:08.840
<v Speaker 1>call about a British monarchy, we've never really had one,

0:22:09.000 --> 0:22:11.440
<v Speaker 1>because even the Queen's Sandy is not actually British, do

0:22:11.480 --> 0:22:13.440
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean? So the monarchy itself never

0:22:13.480 --> 0:22:17.080
<v Speaker 1>started from you know, a solid base for England. It's

0:22:17.080 --> 0:22:20.159
<v Speaker 1>always been other countries running this country. It just so

0:22:20.280 --> 0:22:22.600
<v Speaker 1>happens that due to the fact that bearing in mind

0:22:22.960 --> 0:22:26.239
<v Speaker 1>you talk about racism and you know, being difficult, they

0:22:26.480 --> 0:22:29.680
<v Speaker 1>you mustn't forget Edward and Mrs Simpson, he advicated his

0:22:29.760 --> 0:22:32.760
<v Speaker 1>throne for love of his woman, and the British people

0:22:32.840 --> 0:22:35.080
<v Speaker 1>didn't want him to be there because she was American

0:22:35.440 --> 0:22:38.680
<v Speaker 1>divorce and back in them days it was not good

0:22:38.760 --> 0:22:41.280
<v Speaker 1>to be married to a divorce and he actually abdicated,

0:22:41.600 --> 0:22:43.760
<v Speaker 1>which then lad in a round up ray for our

0:22:43.840 --> 0:22:46.760
<v Speaker 1>queen to become queen. So there's always been a dark

0:22:46.840 --> 0:22:49.639
<v Speaker 1>side of the monarchy, pushing out what they don't like

0:22:49.880 --> 0:22:52.760
<v Speaker 1>to one side, keeping it, you know, under the carpet,

0:22:53.119 --> 0:22:55.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, putting people in you know, seclusion so you

0:22:55.920 --> 0:22:59.320
<v Speaker 1>can't speak. They have a great way of gagging you in,

0:22:59.520 --> 0:23:02.679
<v Speaker 1>you know, the monarchy. So having himself is right when

0:23:02.720 --> 0:23:06.240
<v Speaker 1>he says his brother, his dad, they are all basically

0:23:06.320 --> 0:23:09.520
<v Speaker 1>they're chained into that whole society. They they like it

0:23:09.640 --> 0:23:12.560
<v Speaker 1>in a sense. The queen is born of duty. When

0:23:12.600 --> 0:23:14.680
<v Speaker 1>you're born of duty, and that's all you know, that's

0:23:14.680 --> 0:23:19.440
<v Speaker 1>all you live. And Prince Charles again closest to the queen,

0:23:19.640 --> 0:23:23.560
<v Speaker 1>he was born of duty. William has kind of followed

0:23:23.640 --> 0:23:26.400
<v Speaker 1>his dad's footsteps. So he's that man where he will

0:23:26.440 --> 0:23:29.399
<v Speaker 1>be king one day and Kate will be queen and

0:23:29.480 --> 0:23:31.800
<v Speaker 1>then obviously his children will be you know, heir to

0:23:31.880 --> 0:23:34.639
<v Speaker 1>the prone. But you know, you've got to understand. Duty

0:23:34.800 --> 0:23:38.520
<v Speaker 1>is one thing. I think Harry, because of Megan, decided

0:23:38.640 --> 0:23:41.320
<v Speaker 1>that duty, that line was too much for me to

0:23:41.400 --> 0:23:43.920
<v Speaker 1>in order to keep my my love, my life, my

0:23:44.080 --> 0:23:49.600
<v Speaker 1>wife's sanity, our babies safe, you know and secure. Yeah,

0:23:54.600 --> 0:23:57.359
<v Speaker 1>he said, I was seeing history repeatedself. I was seeing

0:23:57.359 --> 0:23:59.720
<v Speaker 1>a lot of things that my mother went through, my

0:24:00.320 --> 0:24:03.639
<v Speaker 1>coming through, and I understood that's something happen. And he

0:24:03.720 --> 0:24:06.359
<v Speaker 1>said that's why he resented his fathering sum much because

0:24:06.520 --> 0:24:08.359
<v Speaker 1>his father was going through the same thing he was

0:24:08.480 --> 0:24:13.000
<v Speaker 1>and wasn't being understanding. And you know, there's a there's

0:24:13.000 --> 0:24:14.960
<v Speaker 1>a lot of dark history. I know, you guys have

0:24:15.080 --> 0:24:17.720
<v Speaker 1>the program The Royal Now I take that with a

0:24:17.800 --> 0:24:20.359
<v Speaker 1>pincher thought that there are some threads of truth in

0:24:20.480 --> 0:24:23.680
<v Speaker 1>that series. But at the end of day, oh yeah,

0:24:23.760 --> 0:24:26.679
<v Speaker 1>this I mean Prince Charles he was having with Camilla

0:24:27.000 --> 0:24:30.040
<v Speaker 1>long before Diana. You know, that was she was a

0:24:30.119 --> 0:24:32.840
<v Speaker 1>married woman when he was having an affair with her.

0:24:33.440 --> 0:24:37.240
<v Speaker 1>You know, Diana herself, she was having an affairs once

0:24:37.320 --> 0:24:41.119
<v Speaker 1>she realized Prince Charles was with Camilla. You know, he

0:24:41.520 --> 0:24:44.119
<v Speaker 1>loved that woman, but he had to marry Diana because

0:24:44.400 --> 0:24:47.399
<v Speaker 1>Danna was a woman of status. Prince Charles could not

0:24:47.480 --> 0:24:50.760
<v Speaker 1>marry Camilla because she was a divorce You know, it's

0:24:51.000 --> 0:24:54.680
<v Speaker 1>say saying that Prince William and Kate technically in are

0:24:54.880 --> 0:24:57.159
<v Speaker 1>not my eyes, but in the Moniker eyes, Kate is

0:24:57.200 --> 0:25:00.720
<v Speaker 1>a commoner. Prince William married a commoner. The paper didn't

0:25:00.760 --> 0:25:03.200
<v Speaker 1>like her in the beginning. They met at university. He

0:25:03.359 --> 0:25:05.520
<v Speaker 1>loved her. Then they let you know, after a bit

0:25:05.560 --> 0:25:08.800
<v Speaker 1>of grooming, they said they could marry. Prince Harry met Meghan,

0:25:09.280 --> 0:25:13.120
<v Speaker 1>American TV star, you know, a socialite. They didn't want

0:25:13.160 --> 0:25:15.480
<v Speaker 1>that in their their family, let alone in the monarchy.

0:25:15.840 --> 0:25:18.920
<v Speaker 1>But they've got it now. He's got two children with her.

0:25:19.240 --> 0:25:22.000
<v Speaker 1>That's a problem. You know, God forbid and touched what

0:25:22.240 --> 0:25:25.080
<v Speaker 1>nothing happens like the mother because Prince DA's Diana. She

0:25:25.200 --> 0:25:26.920
<v Speaker 1>tried to leave. She was going up with Do de

0:25:27.400 --> 0:25:30.119
<v Speaker 1>Do defied. They didn't want that to happen. She was

0:25:30.160 --> 0:25:33.399
<v Speaker 1>in a relationship room. She lost her life because of that.

0:25:34.359 --> 0:25:37.560
<v Speaker 1>So you think that Megan being you know, she's not

0:25:37.720 --> 0:25:40.679
<v Speaker 1>talking out of any just because people keep saying, you know, oh,

0:25:40.800 --> 0:25:43.040
<v Speaker 1>she's trying to ruin the monarchy. I don't believe that

0:25:43.480 --> 0:25:45.440
<v Speaker 1>there's a truth to what Meghan is staying. I do

0:25:45.680 --> 0:25:48.920
<v Speaker 1>believe that it's just to overhear the British people are

0:25:48.920 --> 0:25:51.320
<v Speaker 1>trying to say, oh, it's not real. But Diana was

0:25:51.400 --> 0:25:53.879
<v Speaker 1>the first woman to say it is real. It does happen.

0:25:54.200 --> 0:25:57.520
<v Speaker 1>She said she had depression, she said she had suicidal thought.

0:25:57.800 --> 0:26:01.040
<v Speaker 1>This was Prince Harry's mother. So can you imagine the

0:26:01.080 --> 0:26:04.399
<v Speaker 1>poor boy? Let me let well can see if you

0:26:04.440 --> 0:26:07.280
<v Speaker 1>can debunk this last theory were rumor that I've heard

0:26:07.320 --> 0:26:10.520
<v Speaker 1>about part of the reason why Diana was actually killed because,

0:26:10.960 --> 0:26:13.280
<v Speaker 1>like you said, they were having her own separate affairs

0:26:13.359 --> 0:26:16.280
<v Speaker 1>and it was rumored that she was actually pregnant. Yes

0:26:16.440 --> 0:26:20.320
<v Speaker 1>that was baby, but he was of Arab descent. Yes,

0:26:20.440 --> 0:26:23.200
<v Speaker 1>that's that's Do defied idees That's what made me kind

0:26:23.240 --> 0:26:25.600
<v Speaker 1>of do a parallel because she was pregnant with his

0:26:25.720 --> 0:26:27.600
<v Speaker 1>baby of Arab descent. He was going to be a

0:26:28.160 --> 0:26:31.920
<v Speaker 1>possibly a child who was a dark review. You have

0:26:32.119 --> 0:26:36.080
<v Speaker 1>to also know the history behind that relationship. Do defied

0:26:36.240 --> 0:26:39.120
<v Speaker 1>a son as Alfaire and his father owned Howt, which

0:26:39.160 --> 0:26:41.520
<v Speaker 1>is a great big retail story in he's been the

0:26:41.720 --> 0:26:44.200
<v Speaker 1>born of money. However, they would not give his father

0:26:44.680 --> 0:26:48.160
<v Speaker 1>a British citizenship because although he has lots of investments

0:26:48.200 --> 0:26:50.639
<v Speaker 1>in England, so they kind of snubbed him, although they

0:26:50.760 --> 0:26:53.280
<v Speaker 1>take his money, but they won't let him live here legally.

0:26:53.600 --> 0:26:56.240
<v Speaker 1>That's the father with a very rich man. The son

0:26:56.400 --> 0:26:59.639
<v Speaker 1>dough defired was dating Diana. There was rumors I do

0:26:59.720 --> 0:27:01.920
<v Speaker 1>not know myself. I wasn't withing the car, that she

0:27:02.160 --> 0:27:05.560
<v Speaker 1>was pregnant. And also due to the establishment. That was

0:27:05.640 --> 0:27:08.119
<v Speaker 1>why they killed her, because they didn't want her because

0:27:08.160 --> 0:27:11.199
<v Speaker 1>brain mind, Prince William and Prince Harry were always going

0:27:11.240 --> 0:27:13.800
<v Speaker 1>to be in line to the throne. If she had

0:27:14.920 --> 0:27:18.439
<v Speaker 1>a second a third child from it would behalf bathers

0:27:18.480 --> 0:27:21.320
<v Speaker 1>to the king. The kings of England. They can't have

0:27:21.640 --> 0:27:24.919
<v Speaker 1>the monarchy. It's too much shame for them, so they

0:27:24.960 --> 0:27:27.159
<v Speaker 1>had to push it away. I used to think that

0:27:27.240 --> 0:27:29.360
<v Speaker 1>I was born a world this say, I'm so glad,

0:27:29.400 --> 0:28:00.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm all projected. I'm glad, I'm work saw they needed

0:28:00.760 --> 0:28:03.960
<v Speaker 1>old trainy oh, my son is a training we're gonna

0:28:04.320 --> 0:28:06.240
<v Speaker 1>They said they wanted to queen, So if I was

0:28:06.320 --> 0:28:08.000
<v Speaker 1>born a king, they said they wanted to queen the

0:28:08.080 --> 0:28:12.159
<v Speaker 1>rule the country. Hey listen, listen, I'm gonna try to

0:28:12.200 --> 0:28:16.960
<v Speaker 1>bring Nick in here. But while while we're bringing let's

0:28:17.000 --> 0:28:20.280
<v Speaker 1>do a quick history lesson to just about Queen Charlotte,

0:28:20.320 --> 0:28:23.000
<v Speaker 1>since nobody seems to really know who she is. Queen

0:28:23.200 --> 0:28:28.120
<v Speaker 1>Charlotte she was known as Charlotte of Mecklenburg or Sophia Charlotte.

0:28:28.480 --> 0:28:32.280
<v Speaker 1>She was born May nineteenth, seventeen forty four and lived

0:28:32.320 --> 0:28:35.520
<v Speaker 1>to November seventeenth of eighteen eighteen, and was the queen

0:28:35.560 --> 0:28:37.639
<v Speaker 1>con sort of the British King George the Third. So

0:28:37.840 --> 0:28:41.240
<v Speaker 1>she married George the third on September eighth of seventeen

0:28:41.280 --> 0:28:43.480
<v Speaker 1>sixty one and they were married until her death. And

0:28:43.600 --> 0:28:46.240
<v Speaker 1>as George's wife, she was also the electress and latter

0:28:46.360 --> 0:28:51.320
<v Speaker 1>Queen of Hanover. So it's shocking to me that, you know,

0:28:51.600 --> 0:28:53.760
<v Speaker 1>similar issues that we faced on this side of the

0:28:53.840 --> 0:28:56.400
<v Speaker 1>island terms of you know, history not being told properly.

0:28:56.720 --> 0:28:59.000
<v Speaker 1>It's the same thing that's happening over in England because,

0:28:59.440 --> 0:29:02.240
<v Speaker 1>like I said before, Charlotte was black. You know, they've

0:29:02.240 --> 0:29:06.160
<v Speaker 1>said that North Carolina that's Charlotte was named after Queen Charlotte.

0:29:06.520 --> 0:29:07.920
<v Speaker 1>And then also too, I don't know if you guys

0:29:07.920 --> 0:29:11.080
<v Speaker 1>have seen the series Bridgertain which Sean de Land just created,

0:29:11.200 --> 0:29:13.920
<v Speaker 1>that queen in the series is black. And her character

0:29:14.160 --> 0:29:18.640
<v Speaker 1>is based off of Queen Charlotte. So anyway, Nick, welcome,

0:29:23.040 --> 0:29:24.600
<v Speaker 1>Just so you all know, we were all here. We

0:29:24.680 --> 0:29:26.400
<v Speaker 1>could all see you all, but you are were not

0:29:26.480 --> 0:29:28.360
<v Speaker 1>hearing us for some reason. There. Yeah, I don't know

0:29:28.480 --> 0:29:31.640
<v Speaker 1>what happened. I updated the app. You know you also

0:29:31.720 --> 0:29:35.760
<v Speaker 1>mentioned um Diana. You know, William already uses Diana's name

0:29:35.960 --> 0:29:39.520
<v Speaker 1>and baby Charlotte's name, so they've already used Diana. You

0:29:39.720 --> 0:29:41.480
<v Speaker 1>just can't use Diana as the first name. It's not

0:29:41.640 --> 0:29:44.240
<v Speaker 1>the first name. No, it can't be the first name.

0:29:44.520 --> 0:29:48.880
<v Speaker 1>That's not allowed. But they already they already remember Diana

0:29:49.520 --> 0:29:53.120
<v Speaker 1>with baby Charlotte. So that's like, let me tell you something.

0:29:53.600 --> 0:29:55.680
<v Speaker 1>Harry and Megan do what the hell they want to do.

0:29:55.760 --> 0:29:57.479
<v Speaker 1>It would be the first name over here. It might

0:29:57.520 --> 0:29:59.200
<v Speaker 1>not be the first name over there, but it would

0:29:59.200 --> 0:30:02.640
<v Speaker 1>be first name over here. And I think it's good too.

0:30:02.720 --> 0:30:05.120
<v Speaker 1>And even you know, watching the interview, they said that

0:30:05.280 --> 0:30:07.640
<v Speaker 1>things feel more normal now, like they've they've come out

0:30:07.680 --> 0:30:10.080
<v Speaker 1>and said that the queen, they have a great relationship

0:30:10.160 --> 0:30:13.880
<v Speaker 1>with the Queen. Harry praised his grandmother, Megan praise you know,

0:30:14.080 --> 0:30:16.400
<v Speaker 1>his grandmother and said that she's very kind, and they

0:30:16.440 --> 0:30:18.480
<v Speaker 1>don't have to worry about Formali's and everything that the

0:30:18.560 --> 0:30:21.720
<v Speaker 1>relationship has gotten better. Um, but he talked about how

0:30:21.840 --> 0:30:24.320
<v Speaker 1>his relationship with his brother Harry did talk about his

0:30:24.360 --> 0:30:27.120
<v Speaker 1>relationship with William is strained, and how his father stopped

0:30:27.160 --> 0:30:28.920
<v Speaker 1>taking his calls at one point, and there's a lot

0:30:28.960 --> 0:30:30.840
<v Speaker 1>of healing and mending to do so in a lot

0:30:30.880 --> 0:30:33.320
<v Speaker 1>of ways, I think that maybe this whole skin color

0:30:33.400 --> 0:30:36.040
<v Speaker 1>conversation with the baby is maybe stemming from the father

0:30:36.160 --> 0:30:38.840
<v Speaker 1>because it's maybe past whatever relationships he had to do

0:30:38.920 --> 0:30:41.840
<v Speaker 1>with with Diana. That's what I'm really starting to conclude,

0:30:41.840 --> 0:30:44.920
<v Speaker 1>because they grow down the scope. Oprah narrowed down the

0:30:44.960 --> 0:30:47.480
<v Speaker 1>scope for us, So and you know it's funny with that?

0:30:48.120 --> 0:30:50.440
<v Speaker 1>What's what's funny with that? And and work with me

0:30:50.600 --> 0:30:55.080
<v Speaker 1>here and follow my logic. I didn't even and I

0:30:55.240 --> 0:30:59.200
<v Speaker 1>know color and everything is complicated and nuanced, but I

0:30:59.320 --> 0:31:03.240
<v Speaker 1>didn't see her as a black woman initially. Uh. And

0:31:03.520 --> 0:31:06.760
<v Speaker 1>and my view of what black women look like like

0:31:06.960 --> 0:31:11.920
<v Speaker 1>she Rashida Jones, Mariah Carey. Black woman isn't the first

0:31:11.960 --> 0:31:15.800
<v Speaker 1>thing that comes to mind for me only speaking for Nicholas.

0:31:16.200 --> 0:31:19.680
<v Speaker 1>So if you're offended by that shade of black somebody

0:31:19.760 --> 0:31:22.520
<v Speaker 1>like Naomi Campbell didn't have a chance because I'm thinking

0:31:22.920 --> 0:31:27.400
<v Speaker 1>at least they are more appeasing too many. Um, I

0:31:27.560 --> 0:31:30.760
<v Speaker 1>have never been confused for anything but black but flame.

0:31:30.840 --> 0:31:32.720
<v Speaker 1>And I have still been places where people like, well flame,

0:31:32.760 --> 0:31:39.960
<v Speaker 1>what what is flame? Flame? Your what? And what? But

0:31:41.480 --> 0:31:48.080
<v Speaker 1>I've never had the luxury I've been. Here's the here's

0:31:48.080 --> 0:31:50.680
<v Speaker 1>the kicker with with black people, even with light skiing,

0:31:50.760 --> 0:31:53.959
<v Speaker 1>because it's as right as Lauren is. Laura can get

0:31:54.080 --> 0:31:55.880
<v Speaker 1>with a man with a black man of just a

0:31:56.000 --> 0:31:59.520
<v Speaker 1>brown your your color brown. But you know it maybe

0:31:59.560 --> 0:32:02.600
<v Speaker 1>the great and mother or something with black people that

0:32:02.760 --> 0:32:05.960
<v Speaker 1>the kid could take on that pigmentation because sometimes it

0:32:06.080 --> 0:32:09.000
<v Speaker 1>comes through the lineage, not necessarily right from the parents.

0:32:09.280 --> 0:32:11.000
<v Speaker 1>So I'm sure that they were fear of that. And

0:32:11.200 --> 0:32:14.000
<v Speaker 1>the next baby comes out because the mother is brown,

0:32:14.440 --> 0:32:17.920
<v Speaker 1>uh you know, making Marcus mother is brown, the daddy white,

0:32:18.000 --> 0:32:20.080
<v Speaker 1>but the mother is brown. If that baby come out brown,

0:32:20.480 --> 0:32:22.720
<v Speaker 1>bit you think they made over there across the pond.

0:32:23.040 --> 0:32:25.920
<v Speaker 1>Let that baby come out looking like kidzy baby. I

0:32:26.000 --> 0:32:28.960
<v Speaker 1>understand me when I tell you that baby the queen

0:32:29.080 --> 0:32:32.640
<v Speaker 1>gonna start kicking and ship out the cat damnything. Else. Well, well,

0:32:32.680 --> 0:32:35.400
<v Speaker 1>there's we've we've seen when there's instances of that in

0:32:35.480 --> 0:32:38.600
<v Speaker 1>my family because like my grandmother is from Mexico and

0:32:38.800 --> 0:32:41.160
<v Speaker 1>she's the darkest of the bunch. Her whole family really

0:32:41.280 --> 0:32:43.480
<v Speaker 1>is of a lighter hue. They're more like my skin

0:32:43.560 --> 0:32:46.360
<v Speaker 1>complexion or a little lighter. But she was, you know,

0:32:46.480 --> 0:32:48.320
<v Speaker 1>known as the black sheep of the family because she

0:32:48.440 --> 0:32:50.800
<v Speaker 1>was so dark, and she was really real cute a

0:32:50.840 --> 0:32:52.960
<v Speaker 1>lot forward to the point where she didn't want to,

0:32:53.040 --> 0:32:56.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, do things like past her heritage, her Mexican heritage,

0:32:56.480 --> 0:33:00.280
<v Speaker 1>along to like my father Um and his siblings, because

0:33:00.360 --> 0:33:02.280
<v Speaker 1>in my father is the example too, he's the darkest

0:33:02.320 --> 0:33:05.520
<v Speaker 1>of the bunch as well, considering his two parents are

0:33:05.720 --> 0:33:09.239
<v Speaker 1>very very light. So um and I mean even if

0:33:09.280 --> 0:33:13.160
<v Speaker 1>we look at celebrities like Tiamari and her husband um Adam.

0:33:13.680 --> 0:33:16.600
<v Speaker 1>You know, the sun came out Adam's color, but their

0:33:16.680 --> 0:33:19.640
<v Speaker 1>daughter is she got some melan into her. So you

0:33:19.840 --> 0:33:23.360
<v Speaker 1>just never know what you're gonna get. Yeah, racist, racist,

0:33:23.440 --> 0:33:26.240
<v Speaker 1>so nuanced, but I and in deference to the Queen,

0:33:26.360 --> 0:33:28.320
<v Speaker 1>I will give her a pass that she may have

0:33:28.440 --> 0:33:30.760
<v Speaker 1>feared that baby come looking like Nicholas and you're like,

0:33:30.840 --> 0:33:32.960
<v Speaker 1>what just happened? You know? That would have been a

0:33:33.000 --> 0:33:35.360
<v Speaker 1>tough one to explain. But they said it wasn't her though, Nick,

0:33:35.680 --> 0:33:40.040
<v Speaker 1>they said it wasn't the grandmother. That yeah, not only that,

0:33:40.200 --> 0:33:42.440
<v Speaker 1>we're also finding out that's true, it wasn't the grandmother.

0:33:42.600 --> 0:33:44.719
<v Speaker 1>That the grandmother really doesn't run things, that she too,

0:33:44.800 --> 0:33:48.040
<v Speaker 1>in many ways, is a victim of the firm. I

0:33:48.200 --> 0:33:51.240
<v Speaker 1>just told y'all her and uh, what's the husband's name,

0:33:51.480 --> 0:33:53.880
<v Speaker 1>Philip is about three hundred years old between the two

0:33:53.960 --> 0:33:55.719
<v Speaker 1>up now, No, they don't even know each other. They

0:33:55.760 --> 0:33:57.280
<v Speaker 1>just walking back at each other all day, digging and

0:33:57.480 --> 0:34:01.800
<v Speaker 1>butlers and ship the hell they don't know each other? Child, Okay, okay,

0:34:02.520 --> 0:34:05.080
<v Speaker 1>uh you all you know this has just it's been

0:34:05.120 --> 0:34:07.280
<v Speaker 1>an interesting week. I think I also just have to

0:34:07.720 --> 0:34:10.560
<v Speaker 1>in that interview once again recognized flame you and I've

0:34:10.600 --> 0:34:14.880
<v Speaker 1>had this conversation. How amazing in my opinion and solid

0:34:14.960 --> 0:34:20.839
<v Speaker 1>of an interviewer Oprah When free is Oprah? I still

0:34:20.920 --> 0:34:23.080
<v Speaker 1>say this, Brian Gumbo, just two of the best. And

0:34:23.160 --> 0:34:25.560
<v Speaker 1>I just think that Oprah did that interview with such

0:34:25.719 --> 0:34:27.880
<v Speaker 1>grace and I never felt like it was a setup

0:34:28.000 --> 0:34:30.200
<v Speaker 1>or gotcha moment um. I just think that it was

0:34:30.280 --> 0:34:33.120
<v Speaker 1>just delivered and done so well, uh, the only thing

0:34:33.160 --> 0:34:34.880
<v Speaker 1>I could have done without. And this is just me,

0:34:35.040 --> 0:34:38.200
<v Speaker 1>you guys, I think chicken coops are the nastiest thing.

0:34:38.520 --> 0:34:40.960
<v Speaker 1>Like I didn't need to see Oprah running around the

0:34:41.080 --> 0:34:43.959
<v Speaker 1>chicken coop. That bothered me. And and that that that's

0:34:43.960 --> 0:34:46.560
<v Speaker 1>stuck with me. That that that stuck with me. Was

0:34:46.640 --> 0:34:51.080
<v Speaker 1>you afraid she was gonna wash ther meats? My mother

0:34:51.560 --> 0:34:54.839
<v Speaker 1>grew up with wild chickens running around as a little girl,

0:34:54.840 --> 0:34:57.080
<v Speaker 1>and she talks about how her my uncle's would take

0:34:57.120 --> 0:34:59.040
<v Speaker 1>a chicken and just snapped the neck and they would

0:34:59.080 --> 0:35:03.480
<v Speaker 1>eat that chi can that night. And I'm like, mom,

0:35:03.560 --> 0:35:05.360
<v Speaker 1>I would have preferred the chicken and walked across and

0:35:05.440 --> 0:35:07.960
<v Speaker 1>just died on its own, but that's how they killed it.

0:35:08.120 --> 0:35:11.120
<v Speaker 1>And literally chickens running around with the broken neck. Did

0:35:11.200 --> 0:35:13.640
<v Speaker 1>you see that? Did you experience that? How did in

0:35:13.719 --> 0:35:16.560
<v Speaker 1>front of you? Okay, no, I did not. But my

0:35:16.719 --> 0:35:20.839
<v Speaker 1>mother as much chicken as Nickolas eats. If Nicholas would

0:35:20.840 --> 0:35:23.200
<v Speaker 1>have saw that, that NI would have never ate en.

0:35:24.719 --> 0:35:27.520
<v Speaker 1>I will honestly say that if I had to slaughter

0:35:27.680 --> 0:35:30.839
<v Speaker 1>and kill my own meat, I probably would be a vegetarian.

0:35:31.320 --> 0:35:34.279
<v Speaker 1>I probably would. Yeah, yeah, I'm calling my house because

0:35:34.280 --> 0:35:37.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm shooting there thinking if I'm hungry, well, let let

0:35:37.719 --> 0:35:40.360
<v Speaker 1>me just say this about Oprah. I feel like and

0:35:41.200 --> 0:35:43.560
<v Speaker 1>there's nothing negative to well, it might be negative to

0:35:43.600 --> 0:35:46.000
<v Speaker 1>say about her, but I feel like in a way,

0:35:46.280 --> 0:35:49.360
<v Speaker 1>she's kind of trying to also redeem some of the

0:35:49.440 --> 0:35:51.239
<v Speaker 1>things that she's done in the past with some of

0:35:51.320 --> 0:35:54.719
<v Speaker 1>her ventures. And I'm talking about like the Michael Jackson thing,

0:35:54.800 --> 0:35:57.480
<v Speaker 1>and she kind of went after Russell Simmons, and I

0:35:57.560 --> 0:35:59.399
<v Speaker 1>think I'm glad to see that. It seems like she's

0:35:59.400 --> 0:36:01.600
<v Speaker 1>almost kind of on this path of trying to bring

0:36:01.760 --> 0:36:04.440
<v Speaker 1>light to things in terms of this whole soul series

0:36:04.480 --> 0:36:07.600
<v Speaker 1>that she's doing in this interview, So I'm kudos to

0:36:07.680 --> 0:36:09.640
<v Speaker 1>Oprah because I was feeling a little indifferent about her

0:36:09.680 --> 0:36:12.360
<v Speaker 1>for a minute, um, when all these sexual assault scandals

0:36:12.400 --> 0:36:13.960
<v Speaker 1>were happening and she kind of really didn't speak on

0:36:14.000 --> 0:36:16.279
<v Speaker 1>her friend Harvey Weinstein. So I'm glad to see that

0:36:16.440 --> 0:36:19.279
<v Speaker 1>she's kind of trying to shift the trajectory of what

0:36:19.440 --> 0:36:23.200
<v Speaker 1>she's doing. But wait a minute, you know what, you

0:36:23.280 --> 0:36:27.520
<v Speaker 1>know what? You know what that is only black women

0:36:27.719 --> 0:36:31.960
<v Speaker 1>attack Oprah about that she was wrong? Only black women.

0:36:32.239 --> 0:36:35.520
<v Speaker 1>Only black women attack Oprah about that. But she was wrong.

0:36:35.719 --> 0:36:38.160
<v Speaker 1>Well I'm not. I'm not. I'm not saying whether she

0:36:38.280 --> 0:36:41.000
<v Speaker 1>was right or What I'm saying is that only black

0:36:41.080 --> 0:36:44.640
<v Speaker 1>women attack her about those the Harvey Weinstein, about the

0:36:44.840 --> 0:36:49.839
<v Speaker 1>Russell Simmons, about the Michael Jackson. Only black women. Uh,

0:36:50.040 --> 0:36:52.720
<v Speaker 1>and maybe a couple of black gave me, but mostly

0:36:52.760 --> 0:36:56.560
<v Speaker 1>only black women because and I don't know what that is.

0:36:56.640 --> 0:37:00.560
<v Speaker 1>Because but at one point in time, Oprah was Himan's hero,

0:37:01.120 --> 0:37:03.800
<v Speaker 1>you know. And but but then she broke off. So

0:37:03.920 --> 0:37:05.320
<v Speaker 1>you have to look at how the time when she

0:37:05.440 --> 0:37:08.399
<v Speaker 1>started off, she was a m Chicago, a little fat

0:37:08.480 --> 0:37:12.239
<v Speaker 1>black ball here lady in Chicago with the oversized sweathers

0:37:12.320 --> 0:37:16.000
<v Speaker 1>and woo woo. Uh. She grew and Oprah grew quickly

0:37:16.040 --> 0:37:18.160
<v Speaker 1>and caught on, and then the white women caught on,

0:37:18.320 --> 0:37:22.000
<v Speaker 1>then black women caught on. Then everybody loved her. Then

0:37:22.800 --> 0:37:27.600
<v Speaker 1>Oprah went through a channel phase where she discovered her

0:37:27.640 --> 0:37:30.480
<v Speaker 1>blackness and who she was, and then black people are

0:37:30.520 --> 0:37:32.200
<v Speaker 1>saying that she was too white and white people are

0:37:32.200 --> 0:37:34.080
<v Speaker 1>saying that she was going in a different direction. I'm

0:37:34.120 --> 0:37:37.040
<v Speaker 1>telling you can never please everybody. But what I do

0:37:37.200 --> 0:37:41.240
<v Speaker 1>like about Ms Oprah Winfrey, Ms Okra girl, Miss Oka

0:37:41.360 --> 0:37:43.239
<v Speaker 1>get the big guests to come in. She makes you

0:37:43.320 --> 0:37:45.279
<v Speaker 1>feel so comfortable you want to sit down and have

0:37:45.400 --> 0:37:47.960
<v Speaker 1>a conversational open kind of like T t J. And

0:37:48.280 --> 0:37:50.719
<v Speaker 1>you just want to tell her everything now personally over,

0:37:50.760 --> 0:37:52.279
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't tell you everything. I'm gonna tell you what

0:37:52.360 --> 0:37:54.200
<v Speaker 1>you need to know. We're gonna keep it pushing. And

0:37:54.360 --> 0:37:56.360
<v Speaker 1>you didn't had no heels on you sitting down. You

0:37:56.400 --> 0:37:59.840
<v Speaker 1>couldn't had some heels. OK. No, I'm just saying that

0:38:00.040 --> 0:38:03.120
<v Speaker 1>to say I'm liking the trajectory of what she's doing

0:38:03.239 --> 0:38:05.200
<v Speaker 1>now because I was looking at her a little sideways.

0:38:05.200 --> 0:38:08.160
<v Speaker 1>And if you know, it's just us black, it really

0:38:08.280 --> 0:38:11.480
<v Speaker 1>was on. I think she was very wrong, especially with

0:38:11.600 --> 0:38:13.640
<v Speaker 1>the Michael Jackson thing. It came out it wasn't true,

0:38:13.640 --> 0:38:15.520
<v Speaker 1>and that's why HBO pulled it. Can I just say

0:38:15.600 --> 0:38:17.960
<v Speaker 1>that I'm so glad that I never watched that. Like

0:38:18.120 --> 0:38:20.480
<v Speaker 1>you said about stepping the neck on the chicken, I

0:38:20.640 --> 0:38:23.880
<v Speaker 1>never wanted and and I made jokes about Michael Jacksons

0:38:23.880 --> 0:38:25.520
<v Speaker 1>at the time because it was just what we did

0:38:25.600 --> 0:38:27.800
<v Speaker 1>as comedians, because that was what was in the news.

0:38:27.920 --> 0:38:29.520
<v Speaker 1>That's what you do when it's in the news, you

0:38:29.640 --> 0:38:32.040
<v Speaker 1>make fucking jokes about it. But I never thought that

0:38:32.120 --> 0:38:34.840
<v Speaker 1>he did anything with those children in a sexual capacity.

0:38:34.840 --> 0:38:37.680
<v Speaker 1>I really never thought that. It's just some ship just

0:38:37.840 --> 0:38:40.880
<v Speaker 1>don't sit well, and that just never set well with me.

0:38:41.200 --> 0:38:43.360
<v Speaker 1>But I'm glad I didn't watch that thing because I

0:38:43.400 --> 0:38:45.640
<v Speaker 1>didn't want that negative contentation in my head. Because I

0:38:45.680 --> 0:38:48.319
<v Speaker 1>will never not listen to Michael Jackson's music. I woul

0:38:48.400 --> 0:38:51.680
<v Speaker 1>never not listen to her Kelly's music because I know

0:38:51.800 --> 0:38:55.920
<v Speaker 1>who they are. I know. I'm sorry, I know Kelly did,

0:38:56.120 --> 0:38:59.720
<v Speaker 1>but his music is great. His music bring people together.

0:38:59.800 --> 0:39:02.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm not knocking his talent. I'm talking about who he

0:39:02.520 --> 0:39:04.439
<v Speaker 1>is as a person. We aren't talking about Nigga's talent.

0:39:05.000 --> 0:39:06.960
<v Speaker 1>I would leave them with my daughters or nothing. But

0:39:08.280 --> 0:39:11.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't know any adult. You something strange, man, you

0:39:11.040 --> 0:39:12.920
<v Speaker 1>would leave your children with you know what I'm saying that.

0:39:13.000 --> 0:39:15.120
<v Speaker 1>So I think I think there's that to be tied

0:39:15.160 --> 0:39:17.440
<v Speaker 1>into it as well. Michael Jackson, just to put a

0:39:17.480 --> 0:39:19.239
<v Speaker 1>button on that, I totally, I totally agree with to

0:39:19.280 --> 0:39:22.840
<v Speaker 1>flame like I I will die in Michael Jackson fanatic

0:39:23.360 --> 0:39:26.759
<v Speaker 1>like I loved Michael so But touching on that, I

0:39:26.840 --> 0:39:29.520
<v Speaker 1>do believe that everyone who who claims to be a

0:39:29.600 --> 0:39:33.160
<v Speaker 1>victim deserves to have a space to be heard and

0:39:33.239 --> 0:39:36.320
<v Speaker 1>their experience to be acknowledged, no matter how you know,

0:39:36.440 --> 0:39:38.880
<v Speaker 1>how tragic or how you know, my nute somebody may

0:39:38.920 --> 0:39:41.320
<v Speaker 1>think it is. I think you always have to acknowledge

0:39:41.360 --> 0:39:43.560
<v Speaker 1>somebody's experience, no matter what it is. And that's when

0:39:43.600 --> 0:39:46.759
<v Speaker 1>we're talking about even with Andrew Well, I want to

0:39:46.880 --> 0:39:49.320
<v Speaker 1>I got a question and if I sound stupid, just

0:39:49.480 --> 0:39:52.120
<v Speaker 1>please slap me if I sound stupid. I want to

0:39:52.200 --> 0:39:55.560
<v Speaker 1>know what it now condens. What is the measure or

0:39:55.640 --> 0:40:00.200
<v Speaker 1>equation of rape? A rape or inappropriate? We we hug

0:40:00.640 --> 0:40:04.279
<v Speaker 1>You know, my penis may lay on Lawrence lady, because

0:40:04.400 --> 0:40:07.120
<v Speaker 1>lord no, I'll never went on draws. Uh. You know

0:40:07.200 --> 0:40:09.840
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying is that? Is that a sexual You

0:40:09.880 --> 0:40:12.640
<v Speaker 1>know what I mean? Lawrence? Where where do we Where

0:40:12.719 --> 0:40:15.759
<v Speaker 1>do we say it's not kidas here? What Kendall was

0:40:15.800 --> 0:40:18.560
<v Speaker 1>on the phone talking to his girlfriend and they were

0:40:18.600 --> 0:40:21.360
<v Speaker 1>having an in depth conversation, but we were all leaving

0:40:21.360 --> 0:40:23.799
<v Speaker 1>and he hugged Lauren and Kindle's wood. He was laid

0:40:23.840 --> 0:40:26.839
<v Speaker 1>up on Lauren fat with Lauren going two years eight

0:40:26.920 --> 0:40:29.960
<v Speaker 1>years later and say oh I was sexually harassed. The

0:40:30.320 --> 0:40:32.960
<v Speaker 1>the hert didn't wasn't even for you. That was with

0:40:33.080 --> 0:40:38.319
<v Speaker 1>somebody else. I remember a colleague of mine saying once,

0:40:38.360 --> 0:40:42.359
<v Speaker 1>and I think that we over complicated. It's simple. If

0:40:42.400 --> 0:40:44.320
<v Speaker 1>you wouldn't do it to your mother, don't do it

0:40:44.400 --> 0:40:47.799
<v Speaker 1>to someone else. It's ridiculous, it's too much. I don't

0:40:47.840 --> 0:40:51.200
<v Speaker 1>want I don't think that any time you have UM

0:40:51.560 --> 0:40:56.040
<v Speaker 1>And unfortunately, I do believe the onus of professional and

0:40:56.160 --> 0:40:59.279
<v Speaker 1>personal responsibility lies with the person who happens to be

0:40:59.400 --> 0:41:03.759
<v Speaker 1>that person supervisor. You don't get to, unfortunately, moving the

0:41:03.840 --> 0:41:07.840
<v Speaker 1>space in one where you're not aware that the dynamics

0:41:07.880 --> 0:41:10.840
<v Speaker 1>have changed. Women are no longer sitting back allowing you

0:41:10.960 --> 0:41:14.640
<v Speaker 1>to touch and grab them just because you didn't know. Well, brother,

0:41:14.719 --> 0:41:17.080
<v Speaker 1>you need to educate yourself because women are speaking up

0:41:17.080 --> 0:41:22.160
<v Speaker 1>and they're not having it anymore. Well, Nicholas, I you look,

0:41:22.239 --> 0:41:24.760
<v Speaker 1>you're working, you working the news, you work in media,

0:41:24.840 --> 0:41:26.920
<v Speaker 1>and I know you, and I'm speaking your personal business.

0:41:27.040 --> 0:41:29.080
<v Speaker 1>Everybody know it in the damn way. You know you

0:41:29.239 --> 0:41:32.960
<v Speaker 1>always free balling and you are very well endowed man, Nicholas.

0:41:33.239 --> 0:41:35.239
<v Speaker 1>And so when you hug you, you have hugged me

0:41:35.920 --> 0:41:39.160
<v Speaker 1>and I felt your shorty tapping me on my should.

0:41:39.239 --> 0:41:43.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, wait a minute, we're not having this conversation. No, no, no.

0:41:43.320 --> 0:41:46.000
<v Speaker 1>From what I'm saying is that what if you you

0:41:46.080 --> 0:41:47.680
<v Speaker 1>go back to y'all, when y'all go back to the

0:41:47.760 --> 0:41:50.120
<v Speaker 1>newsroom and it's a new lady, then you hug her

0:41:50.440 --> 0:41:52.439
<v Speaker 1>and she feels you on her, and then she says

0:41:52.520 --> 0:41:55.399
<v Speaker 1>that you sexually harassed her. This is what I'm saying.

0:41:55.480 --> 0:41:58.120
<v Speaker 1>It's not even about that. Somewhere it has to draw

0:41:58.160 --> 0:42:00.480
<v Speaker 1>the line or we're gonna get it's gonna everything is

0:42:00.520 --> 0:42:03.520
<v Speaker 1>gonna be inappropriate. You can't say hello to somebody, or

0:42:03.600 --> 0:42:05.719
<v Speaker 1>you look good, Oh you look good today? Oh so

0:42:05.880 --> 0:42:09.160
<v Speaker 1>you tell me I was ugly yesterday. Everything? You know

0:42:09.280 --> 0:42:11.840
<v Speaker 1>what I mean. You're just never gonna know how to

0:42:11.920 --> 0:42:17.960
<v Speaker 1>take a damn compliment. Last week you looked really good.

0:42:18.480 --> 0:42:22.279
<v Speaker 1>I look good today. Yeah I don't. I don't know.

0:42:22.400 --> 0:42:24.360
<v Speaker 1>I think in a lot of ways. And maybe it

0:42:24.640 --> 0:42:29.880
<v Speaker 1>is getting a little because because my thing is this,

0:42:30.120 --> 0:42:32.600
<v Speaker 1>like if somebody reaches out for a hug and I

0:42:32.640 --> 0:42:34.520
<v Speaker 1>don't want to hug you, I give you a polite

0:42:34.520 --> 0:42:37.480
<v Speaker 1>shoulder tap. We're not even gonna do that. So and

0:42:38.000 --> 0:42:46.600
<v Speaker 1>if I is trying to the studeo everybody, I've been

0:42:46.640 --> 0:42:48.800
<v Speaker 1>trying to keep it together and just my efforts to

0:42:48.880 --> 0:42:52.320
<v Speaker 1>my God, but it's big hand. Listen. But yeah, I'm

0:42:52.360 --> 0:42:55.920
<v Speaker 1>just saying I'm I don't It's hard because I and

0:42:56.040 --> 0:42:57.920
<v Speaker 1>I understand the other part of it too. It's like,

0:42:58.000 --> 0:43:00.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, he's your supervisor. You don't want to offense somebody.

0:43:00.920 --> 0:43:03.279
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I get it, but at the same time,

0:43:03.440 --> 0:43:06.239
<v Speaker 1>I just I need more information at this point. That's

0:43:06.239 --> 0:43:08.680
<v Speaker 1>all I'm saying, because, like to what we've been talking about,

0:43:08.719 --> 0:43:10.879
<v Speaker 1>one of the accusers are saying, oh, well, he hugged

0:43:10.920 --> 0:43:13.239
<v Speaker 1>me and I could tell he was aroused. What does

0:43:13.320 --> 0:43:20.320
<v Speaker 1>that mean. I'm gonna say this. I think that investigation

0:43:20.360 --> 0:43:25.520
<v Speaker 1>will play itself out. My simple, my simple ideas this,

0:43:25.680 --> 0:43:27.440
<v Speaker 1>This is what I believe that if you are in

0:43:27.520 --> 0:43:31.520
<v Speaker 1>a position where it could even possibly be misinterpreted, it

0:43:31.600 --> 0:43:37.680
<v Speaker 1>would behoove you to operate with the most reserved behavior.

0:43:37.960 --> 0:43:41.719
<v Speaker 1>That's all. I have supervisors who do not even meet

0:43:42.000 --> 0:43:44.560
<v Speaker 1>with people one on one. There's always someone else in

0:43:44.640 --> 0:43:47.719
<v Speaker 1>the room. So the things have just changed. And I

0:43:47.800 --> 0:43:52.800
<v Speaker 1>would just suggest that Governor Cuomo, who has supposedly, according

0:43:52.840 --> 0:43:55.520
<v Speaker 1>to reports, a history of running an office that is

0:43:55.600 --> 0:43:59.200
<v Speaker 1>full of machismo and has been super aggressive, whatever that

0:43:59.280 --> 0:44:02.760
<v Speaker 1>means to different people. UM should have seen this coming

0:44:03.040 --> 0:44:04.800
<v Speaker 1>or should have known that this could be a problem,

0:44:05.080 --> 0:44:08.120
<v Speaker 1>So I don't believe it came out. I ain't gonna

0:44:08.120 --> 0:44:10.320
<v Speaker 1>agree with that, because, first of all, when you said

0:44:10.400 --> 0:44:12.560
<v Speaker 1>that if I gotta work with you, I don't want

0:44:12.600 --> 0:44:14.480
<v Speaker 1>to be at work doing my job and have to

0:44:14.520 --> 0:44:17.040
<v Speaker 1>be on high alert because of your overly sensitive as

0:44:17.200 --> 0:44:19.759
<v Speaker 1>not to personally, but you know that I'm worried about

0:44:19.960 --> 0:44:22.719
<v Speaker 1>whether you're gonna come out. We we cannot live like this.

0:44:22.880 --> 0:44:26.160
<v Speaker 1>This is why everybody is already on two thousand right now.

0:44:26.600 --> 0:44:30.000
<v Speaker 1>Everybody is on edge. Everybody's got a nail update. But

0:44:30.239 --> 0:44:31.960
<v Speaker 1>because we've been stuck in the house for a year,

0:44:32.480 --> 0:44:34.680
<v Speaker 1>nobody can work and now all of this. We got

0:44:34.760 --> 0:44:36.960
<v Speaker 1>too much time on our hands to find pay and

0:44:37.080 --> 0:44:39.800
<v Speaker 1>we found it every piece of petty we can. Some

0:44:39.920 --> 0:44:41.799
<v Speaker 1>of us need to just shut out internet all because

0:44:41.880 --> 0:44:44.759
<v Speaker 1>we keep finding ship that ain't there. You keep trying

0:44:44.800 --> 0:44:48.239
<v Speaker 1>to create ship that ain't there. I don't know how

0:44:48.360 --> 0:44:49.839
<v Speaker 1>I feel that worked, but I don't want to walk

0:44:49.880 --> 0:44:52.680
<v Speaker 1>around and be like I can't say to Lauren, oh hello,

0:44:52.760 --> 0:44:55.279
<v Speaker 1>good morning, beautiful. Oh my god, he offended me. He

0:44:55.440 --> 0:44:57.960
<v Speaker 1>never calls me by my name. He calls me beautiful

0:44:58.080 --> 0:45:02.600
<v Speaker 1>or sweetheart or the path which I may say anything ship,

0:45:02.719 --> 0:45:07.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, my amor mouth fan? What's up with? What's up? Brown'

0:45:07.080 --> 0:45:10.759
<v Speaker 1>not offended your females especially, you ain't offended about another

0:45:10.840 --> 0:45:13.279
<v Speaker 1>woman or another to new calling you bro, you damn

0:45:13.360 --> 0:45:15.920
<v Speaker 1>trying to feel about? No man called you sweetheart or

0:45:16.040 --> 0:45:19.279
<v Speaker 1>cute power or miss lady or a baby girl. See

0:45:19.600 --> 0:45:21.960
<v Speaker 1>find out what you're gonna be mad about first, God

0:45:22.040 --> 0:45:24.279
<v Speaker 1>damn it, and then come over here with that bulletshit. Oh,

0:45:24.360 --> 0:45:26.200
<v Speaker 1>y'all get him on letters. Let me de scratch my weeds.

0:45:26.280 --> 0:45:30.360
<v Speaker 1>But you know, I think things just change, and and

0:45:30.680 --> 0:45:35.520
<v Speaker 1>I just think that Governor Cuomo, uh, you really should

0:45:36.040 --> 0:45:39.200
<v Speaker 1>in many ways again be open to this investigation and

0:45:39.239 --> 0:45:43.719
<v Speaker 1>we'll see how We'll see how it plays. And even

0:45:43.840 --> 0:45:46.680
<v Speaker 1>if he said, you know, if I offended somebody or

0:45:46.760 --> 0:45:50.200
<v Speaker 1>made somebody feel uncomfortable, I apologize, And I think that's

0:45:50.360 --> 0:45:54.000
<v Speaker 1>very important. You have to acknowledge somebody's experienced. You can't.

0:45:54.120 --> 0:45:57.480
<v Speaker 1>He's not denying anything, but he's saying if I did something,

0:45:57.600 --> 0:46:01.040
<v Speaker 1>it was not intentional. This is my background, Laura. At

0:46:01.120 --> 0:46:03.600
<v Speaker 1>one point, he supposedly said to the young girl, have

0:46:03.760 --> 0:46:06.200
<v Speaker 1>you ever had sex with an older man? Laura, I'm

0:46:06.400 --> 0:46:08.840
<v Speaker 1>I think that's a little to do. I mean, but

0:46:08.960 --> 0:46:11.640
<v Speaker 1>that's if he said that, though, like if if that okay,

0:46:11.680 --> 0:46:13.719
<v Speaker 1>if he said that, that's fine. But I'm just saying

0:46:13.800 --> 0:46:17.560
<v Speaker 1>there's I think it's convenient that, you know, Cuomo is

0:46:17.600 --> 0:46:21.279
<v Speaker 1>becoming the sacrificial lamb on all subjects, from COVID to

0:46:21.400 --> 0:46:24.920
<v Speaker 1>no sexual assault. But you got people like Jim Jordan's

0:46:24.960 --> 0:46:27.799
<v Speaker 1>who have had so many sexual assault cases against him.

0:46:27.840 --> 0:46:31.759
<v Speaker 1>Nothing is being said about him, nobody that that he

0:46:31.880 --> 0:46:35.000
<v Speaker 1>knew wrestlers were being molested or or sexually assaulted. Right

0:46:35.280 --> 0:46:38.640
<v Speaker 1>and with with Governor Cuomo, you know, I think the

0:46:40.120 --> 0:46:43.240
<v Speaker 1>biggest caveat in all this is that do you remember

0:46:43.440 --> 0:46:45.640
<v Speaker 1>you all, let's go back maybe six seven months. Do

0:46:45.680 --> 0:46:47.840
<v Speaker 1>you remember people were saying we should replace Biden and

0:46:47.920 --> 0:46:50.040
<v Speaker 1>it should be Cuomo on the ballot. Do you all

0:46:50.040 --> 0:46:52.080
<v Speaker 1>remember how people were so in love with him? Can

0:46:52.120 --> 0:46:54.840
<v Speaker 1>you imagine where we would have been had because democrats

0:46:54.880 --> 0:46:57.960
<v Speaker 1>are fickle. We we we've talked about this, how there

0:46:58.000 --> 0:47:00.080
<v Speaker 1>gung ho, and then they forget the next shy the

0:47:00.160 --> 0:47:05.040
<v Speaker 1>object right that if we're putting Cuomo, who we want

0:47:05.080 --> 0:47:10.080
<v Speaker 1>to resign in the same box as Al Franken, who,

0:47:10.880 --> 0:47:14.239
<v Speaker 1>in my opinion, I don't think is anywhere near this.

0:47:14.719 --> 0:47:16.400
<v Speaker 1>I think that we're all over the place on what

0:47:16.680 --> 0:47:19.920
<v Speaker 1>is and is not something that is a fire uball offense.

0:47:22.640 --> 0:47:25.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I'm just curious to see what the saying.

0:47:25.880 --> 0:47:28.279
<v Speaker 1>That's That's where I am on this issue. I've been

0:47:28.320 --> 0:47:30.680
<v Speaker 1>to Andrew at Cuomo at home, cause he, I tell you,

0:47:30.760 --> 0:47:32.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, he cutting like a little baby. I know

0:47:32.760 --> 0:47:35.359
<v Speaker 1>he cutting everybody out. First of all, I will never

0:47:35.400 --> 0:47:37.960
<v Speaker 1>get mad at him about asking somebody in their twenties

0:47:38.280 --> 0:47:40.400
<v Speaker 1>has they ever had sex with somebody younger than them?

0:47:40.560 --> 0:47:46.799
<v Speaker 1>Because guess what I asked that question. Well, on that note,

0:47:47.080 --> 0:47:50.759
<v Speaker 1>let's let's take this opportunity to segue because we already talked.

0:47:50.960 --> 0:47:53.319
<v Speaker 1>We just mentioned Joe Biden. Um Nick, do you want

0:47:53.320 --> 0:47:57.560
<v Speaker 1>to introduce the phenomenal or momentous occasion that Biden had

0:47:57.640 --> 0:48:00.200
<v Speaker 1>this weekend in terms of working on exciting a new

0:48:00.280 --> 0:48:03.000
<v Speaker 1>executive order? All right, that's right. We were talking about

0:48:03.000 --> 0:48:05.800
<v Speaker 1>the voting In fact, we're talking about how President Biden

0:48:05.960 --> 0:48:10.080
<v Speaker 1>has assigned executive order directing US agencies to promote voting access.

0:48:10.680 --> 0:48:14.799
<v Speaker 1>Um and this falls on the anniversary of Bloody Sunday, uh,

0:48:15.160 --> 0:48:19.440
<v Speaker 1>when Alabama state troopers brutally attacked peaceful protesters fighting for

0:48:19.520 --> 0:48:22.240
<v Speaker 1>the right to vote as they crossed the Edmund Pettis

0:48:22.360 --> 0:48:25.560
<v Speaker 1>Bridge in Selma. Why is this important? You and I

0:48:25.640 --> 0:48:27.560
<v Speaker 1>were just talking about, the three of us have talked

0:48:27.560 --> 0:48:30.520
<v Speaker 1>about offline, how we all got really excited for the

0:48:30.600 --> 0:48:34.080
<v Speaker 1>general election, then we got excited for the Georgia Sentate runoff.

0:48:34.880 --> 0:48:38.040
<v Speaker 1>And what we are learning is that, Uh, there are

0:48:38.239 --> 0:48:44.840
<v Speaker 1>several bills moving through different states legislators to restrict, repeal,

0:48:45.120 --> 0:48:50.960
<v Speaker 1>or remove voting in many areas where Republicans, it is argued,

0:48:51.080 --> 0:48:56.160
<v Speaker 1>believe that their ability to win an election the way

0:48:56.280 --> 0:49:00.359
<v Speaker 1>things stand now are severely compromised. What does that mean.

0:49:00.800 --> 0:49:04.080
<v Speaker 1>That means that they believe there should be a rollback

0:49:04.200 --> 0:49:08.759
<v Speaker 1>of things like mail and voting, a rollback of collection

0:49:08.840 --> 0:49:11.080
<v Speaker 1>sites that can take the ballots for older people and

0:49:11.160 --> 0:49:13.600
<v Speaker 1>maybe bring them in, because they say these things open

0:49:13.680 --> 0:49:18.239
<v Speaker 1>themselves up to fraud. There's even legislation moving forward right

0:49:18.280 --> 0:49:21.520
<v Speaker 1>now in the state of Georgia that would make it

0:49:21.719 --> 0:49:24.560
<v Speaker 1>illegal for me to bring you a chair or water

0:49:24.719 --> 0:49:28.440
<v Speaker 1>as you stand in line waiting to vote. That past

0:49:29.040 --> 0:49:32.320
<v Speaker 1>that past last week. So there you go, there you go. So,

0:49:32.640 --> 0:49:36.200
<v Speaker 1>so this is why Joe Biden and his move to

0:49:36.880 --> 0:49:41.160
<v Speaker 1>uh secure voting rights and make them equitable across the

0:49:41.320 --> 0:49:44.319
<v Speaker 1>fifty contiguous United States, of the forty nine contiguous United

0:49:44.320 --> 0:49:47.239
<v Speaker 1>States and and Alaska. That is that that is is

0:49:47.280 --> 0:49:51.600
<v Speaker 1>absolutely important that we that we have an opportunity for

0:49:51.760 --> 0:49:58.920
<v Speaker 1>everyone to know that their vote will count. Period. Sorry

0:49:58.960 --> 0:50:03.040
<v Speaker 1>I just have to block some um but no, I'm sorry,

0:50:03.120 --> 0:50:11.399
<v Speaker 1>I just had sorry um um. But now I think

0:50:11.480 --> 0:50:15.000
<v Speaker 1>that you know, the world is changing, the world is evolving,

0:50:15.200 --> 0:50:19.560
<v Speaker 1>and we're just gonna be very honest here that there's

0:50:19.640 --> 0:50:22.880
<v Speaker 1>no um. There's a certain group of people on the

0:50:22.960 --> 0:50:25.400
<v Speaker 1>far right that are really trying to hold onto this

0:50:25.560 --> 0:50:30.080
<v Speaker 1>whole pure bred, pure blood American white is pure like

0:50:30.160 --> 0:50:34.359
<v Speaker 1>this whole concept. And even today, you know, we see

0:50:34.400 --> 0:50:37.840
<v Speaker 1>that six Republican senators are not running for re election

0:50:37.920 --> 0:50:40.320
<v Speaker 1>because they're trying to open the door for more of

0:50:40.360 --> 0:50:43.640
<v Speaker 1>these Trump like thinkers to come into office. So I

0:50:43.800 --> 0:50:46.640
<v Speaker 1>think in a lot of ways, you know, people that

0:50:46.800 --> 0:50:51.640
<v Speaker 1>feel like our history is you know, the Confederate sy

0:50:51.840 --> 0:50:53.800
<v Speaker 1>and all of these different things, we're trying to hold

0:50:53.840 --> 0:50:56.560
<v Speaker 1>onto this idea and these are a lot of the

0:50:56.600 --> 0:50:58.400
<v Speaker 1>Republicans that we now have in the House and some

0:50:58.520 --> 0:51:00.560
<v Speaker 1>in the Senate as well. We talked about, you know,

0:51:00.800 --> 0:51:03.320
<v Speaker 1>Marjory Taylor Green. They're trying to hold on to this

0:51:03.480 --> 0:51:06.120
<v Speaker 1>concept and through that they're like, well, you guys are

0:51:06.360 --> 0:51:09.240
<v Speaker 1>trying to learn the system of how voting works because

0:51:09.280 --> 0:51:12.600
<v Speaker 1>we suppressed you all people of color for so long. Um,

0:51:12.840 --> 0:51:15.200
<v Speaker 1>we've got to put some more you know, bills in

0:51:15.280 --> 0:51:18.279
<v Speaker 1>place to get that control back because they are they're

0:51:18.320 --> 0:51:20.719
<v Speaker 1>really losing the control in terms of voting. Because you've

0:51:20.719 --> 0:51:23.840
<v Speaker 1>got people like Stacy Abrams, You've got people like Common

0:51:23.920 --> 0:51:26.520
<v Speaker 1>that are going on the ground. Um, You've got all

0:51:26.600 --> 0:51:29.520
<v Speaker 1>these different influential figures that are really starting to educate

0:51:29.600 --> 0:51:32.680
<v Speaker 1>people and allow them to understand just because you were incarcerated,

0:51:32.719 --> 0:51:34.680
<v Speaker 1>you still have the ability to vote. You know, just

0:51:34.800 --> 0:51:36.239
<v Speaker 1>because this happened to you, you know, you still have

0:51:36.320 --> 0:51:38.359
<v Speaker 1>the ability to vote. These are your rights. People are

0:51:38.400 --> 0:51:41.080
<v Speaker 1>learning the system, People are understanding how the system works,

0:51:41.440 --> 0:51:45.400
<v Speaker 1>and these far right individuals, whether they be political figures

0:51:45.520 --> 0:51:47.680
<v Speaker 1>or not, are upset about it. So they're trying to

0:51:47.719 --> 0:51:50.200
<v Speaker 1>figure out how we can maneuver so that way they

0:51:50.280 --> 0:51:52.719
<v Speaker 1>can still hold onto this construct of we need to

0:51:52.800 --> 0:51:56.960
<v Speaker 1>stay in power and two flames. Flames. Girl Amy Coney

0:51:57.000 --> 0:51:59.440
<v Speaker 1>Barrett just heard a case as she's shot down the

0:51:59.480 --> 0:52:04.040
<v Speaker 1>Republican attorney, the the the attorney fighting for UH to

0:52:04.360 --> 0:52:06.760
<v Speaker 1>to change and limit these rules. She's like, so exactly

0:52:06.880 --> 0:52:09.640
<v Speaker 1>what would this? What problem are we solving that does

0:52:09.680 --> 0:52:12.680
<v Speaker 1>not exist? And and so they they're just struggling to

0:52:13.040 --> 0:52:17.520
<v Speaker 1>answer that. And it's just it's interesting because the simple

0:52:17.840 --> 0:52:22.000
<v Speaker 1>truth is this, I genuinely believe you have a You

0:52:22.120 --> 0:52:24.480
<v Speaker 1>have those who are watching the world change, Lauren, like

0:52:24.560 --> 0:52:27.000
<v Speaker 1>you just said, and are uncomfortable with that change. You

0:52:27.080 --> 0:52:29.359
<v Speaker 1>can't in some cases, I don't even know that they

0:52:29.480 --> 0:52:34.800
<v Speaker 1>know that they're lack of willingness to accept the browning

0:52:34.880 --> 0:52:38.840
<v Speaker 1>and darkening of America. Um to not even here and

0:52:38.920 --> 0:52:41.000
<v Speaker 1>want to give those people like I think they're fine

0:52:41.120 --> 0:52:43.880
<v Speaker 1>with me, you in flame if we stay in our place.

0:52:44.560 --> 0:52:47.160
<v Speaker 1>But but what But but I think that you know,

0:52:47.440 --> 0:52:51.040
<v Speaker 1>talking back and wanting to be heard. And now you're like, waitmen,

0:52:51.040 --> 0:52:53.320
<v Speaker 1>you don't get to touch me without my permission? WHOA

0:52:53.840 --> 0:52:58.200
<v Speaker 1>wait a minute, I don't So, No, you do have

0:52:58.280 --> 0:52:59.719
<v Speaker 1>a place. There are people who are fighting for you,

0:53:00.000 --> 0:53:02.279
<v Speaker 1>even if you're not fighting for yourself. Now, now that's

0:53:02.280 --> 0:53:05.000
<v Speaker 1>the truth. But by societal standards, well, I could agree

0:53:05.040 --> 0:53:07.239
<v Speaker 1>with what Flames saying, she doesn't have a place by

0:53:07.320 --> 0:53:12.080
<v Speaker 1>societal standards. If we're gonna really talk about it, I think,

0:53:12.360 --> 0:53:15.359
<v Speaker 1>I think. I think strong black fathers always have a place,

0:53:15.680 --> 0:53:18.000
<v Speaker 1>and and and because I didn't have a father growing up,

0:53:18.200 --> 0:53:21.680
<v Speaker 1>so I I completely forget all that I'm talking about.

0:53:22.160 --> 0:53:23.759
<v Speaker 1>What I'm talking about when you're talking about the father

0:53:23.880 --> 0:53:27.800
<v Speaker 1>that I'm talking this girl. Oh, I ain't got a

0:53:27.800 --> 0:53:30.200
<v Speaker 1>place as a black person. Baby. Let me tell you something.

0:53:30.719 --> 0:53:33.120
<v Speaker 1>I need these people to stuff think that anything is

0:53:33.200 --> 0:53:35.920
<v Speaker 1>pure bred. Ain't no more one hundreds and pure area

0:53:35.960 --> 0:53:38.799
<v Speaker 1>and ship because you're great great, great great great great

0:53:38.920 --> 0:53:41.239
<v Speaker 1>and great granddaddy could not stay his ass up out

0:53:41.280 --> 0:53:46.640
<v Speaker 1>of Mami Bello's kidsy Sue Big Becky and when whooped

0:53:46.680 --> 0:53:49.520
<v Speaker 1>the duke this room, and they wouldn't even they hadn't

0:53:49.560 --> 0:53:51.840
<v Speaker 1>even had their first period. They was in there raping

0:53:51.920 --> 0:53:55.080
<v Speaker 1>those children and started in lineage back then. So they

0:53:55.160 --> 0:53:57.040
<v Speaker 1>was raping the kids. And then they was making the

0:53:57.160 --> 0:53:59.839
<v Speaker 1>kids so they could have a baby. They was having

0:53:59.880 --> 0:54:02.799
<v Speaker 1>the own babies. So ain't no pure ship. We all

0:54:02.920 --> 0:54:05.680
<v Speaker 1>mixed up with a little something something, just a little

0:54:05.680 --> 0:54:10.000
<v Speaker 1>bit though. But what you're saying, though, that's the ideal,

0:54:10.520 --> 0:54:14.240
<v Speaker 1>the construct of that is slowly deteriorating, and it's scaring

0:54:14.280 --> 0:54:16.920
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people. That's what Abrams is working on

0:54:17.000 --> 0:54:19.560
<v Speaker 1>a new project now. I believe it drops next week

0:54:19.680 --> 0:54:22.720
<v Speaker 1>or so, Lauren Uh that you're talking about the voting

0:54:22.800 --> 0:54:25.440
<v Speaker 1>and all of that, and and we are still working

0:54:25.480 --> 0:54:27.920
<v Speaker 1>to black folks, black folks, black folks. That's on here.

0:54:27.960 --> 0:54:30.440
<v Speaker 1>That's listening. Baby. If you know somebody that's seventeen or

0:54:30.520 --> 0:54:32.680
<v Speaker 1>gonna be turning eighteen, that time and times to vote,

0:54:32.800 --> 0:54:35.040
<v Speaker 1>get them registered. Now, make sure you follow all the

0:54:35.120 --> 0:54:37.560
<v Speaker 1>guidlines because they're running a scam like you never believe

0:54:37.640 --> 0:54:39.680
<v Speaker 1>that they're trying to do. Is that a hundred and

0:54:39.760 --> 0:54:41.960
<v Speaker 1>forty three or a hundred and thirty four laws to

0:54:42.160 --> 0:54:44.760
<v Speaker 1>change it to make what we thought voting was difficult

0:54:44.800 --> 0:54:47.560
<v Speaker 1>for us before this last time with all the cheating,

0:54:47.840 --> 0:54:50.399
<v Speaker 1>this next go around, they're trying to pull the cat

0:54:50.440 --> 0:54:52.239
<v Speaker 1>out of a head. Hit me when I tell you,

0:54:52.800 --> 0:54:55.680
<v Speaker 1>and they are and I believe this me, this is

0:54:55.760 --> 0:54:58.000
<v Speaker 1>my this is what I believe. Nobody else agrees with

0:54:58.120 --> 0:55:00.239
<v Speaker 1>me on this. If they don't just I'm not talking

0:55:00.239 --> 0:55:03.000
<v Speaker 1>about them. I ain't asking me. This new to them too.

0:55:03.880 --> 0:55:05.920
<v Speaker 1>I think that they put some ship up in y'all

0:55:05.920 --> 0:55:08.080
<v Speaker 1>in this vaccine, and when they push your button, y'all,

0:55:08.160 --> 0:55:10.440
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna become zombies, and they're gonna be able to

0:55:10.480 --> 0:55:12.680
<v Speaker 1>control y'all. And you're gonna vote the way they want

0:55:12.719 --> 0:55:14.239
<v Speaker 1>you to vote and do what the hell they want

0:55:14.280 --> 0:55:16.520
<v Speaker 1>you to do because you are into some kind of

0:55:18.680 --> 0:55:21.040
<v Speaker 1>I want to be on the I want to be

0:55:21.160 --> 0:55:30.520
<v Speaker 1>like I enjoyed that. Uh, please pay attention to the

0:55:30.600 --> 0:55:33.840
<v Speaker 1>voting rights. When I tell you that you're already putting

0:55:33.840 --> 0:55:37.160
<v Speaker 1>the messages out, I'm sure they're gonna drop the names

0:55:37.200 --> 0:55:39.320
<v Speaker 1>of who doing it. We got to come out for

0:55:39.480 --> 0:55:42.600
<v Speaker 1>real and up. But now they're changing so many longs.

0:55:42.680 --> 0:55:45.120
<v Speaker 1>We got to make sure that everything is all that

0:55:45.239 --> 0:55:47.440
<v Speaker 1>has a dotted and all the teas across because they're

0:55:47.480 --> 0:55:50.320
<v Speaker 1>gonna try to shut us down. And honestly, do you

0:55:50.400 --> 0:55:52.279
<v Speaker 1>have any other thoughts on this because I'm gonna go

0:55:52.440 --> 0:55:55.000
<v Speaker 1>out script here. Well, I do want to go off

0:55:55.080 --> 0:55:58.600
<v Speaker 1>script because I think that it's a great example of

0:55:58.719 --> 0:56:01.480
<v Speaker 1>government persecution. I know this isn't on our list of topics,

0:56:01.600 --> 0:56:03.400
<v Speaker 1>but I don't know, if you guys have watched The

0:56:03.480 --> 0:56:07.400
<v Speaker 1>United States Versus Billy Holiday on Hulu, Nick, have you

0:56:07.440 --> 0:56:11.920
<v Speaker 1>watched it? I encourage everybody to go and watch that.

0:56:12.040 --> 0:56:14.360
<v Speaker 1>I know Lee Daniels people say what they have to

0:56:14.360 --> 0:56:16.359
<v Speaker 1>say about him in terms of directing in his place

0:56:16.440 --> 0:56:19.759
<v Speaker 1>in Hollywood, but I think it's it's a film that

0:56:19.840 --> 0:56:22.520
<v Speaker 1>needs to be watched because it literally talks about the

0:56:22.600 --> 0:56:25.239
<v Speaker 1>latter years of Billy Holliday's life and how she was

0:56:25.600 --> 0:56:28.200
<v Speaker 1>really persecuted by the government for wanting to sing a

0:56:28.239 --> 0:56:32.560
<v Speaker 1>song called Strange Fruit and history lessons. Strange Fruit was

0:56:32.640 --> 0:56:35.080
<v Speaker 1>basically about all the lynchings that were happening throughout the

0:56:35.160 --> 0:56:38.040
<v Speaker 1>South and how strange fruit were the black people hanging

0:56:38.080 --> 0:56:40.680
<v Speaker 1>from these trees. So if you haven't watched it, please

0:56:40.760 --> 0:56:44.880
<v Speaker 1>go and watch the film. But she was being persecuted

0:56:45.000 --> 0:56:49.200
<v Speaker 1>by an individual called His name was Harry um And Slinger,

0:56:49.640 --> 0:56:52.040
<v Speaker 1>and he was a United States government official who served

0:56:52.040 --> 0:56:54.520
<v Speaker 1>as the first Commissioner of the U. S. Tragedies U S.

0:56:54.560 --> 0:56:58.840
<v Speaker 1>Treasuries Department of Federal Bureau of Narcotics, and he used

0:56:59.040 --> 0:57:02.440
<v Speaker 1>Billy Holliday's dres addiction against her or as the forefront

0:57:02.480 --> 0:57:04.560
<v Speaker 1>of the reason why he was going after her, but

0:57:04.640 --> 0:57:06.600
<v Speaker 1>it was really because she wanted to sing the song

0:57:06.680 --> 0:57:10.239
<v Speaker 1>about what was happening in the world. So I'm just

0:57:10.360 --> 0:57:12.840
<v Speaker 1>we're talking about government persecution and different things that are happening.

0:57:12.880 --> 0:57:14.880
<v Speaker 1>It just came to the forefront of my mind. Um,

0:57:14.960 --> 0:57:17.880
<v Speaker 1>but I to understand the construct of this country and

0:57:18.360 --> 0:57:21.160
<v Speaker 1>what the government's true intentions are. I encourage you to

0:57:21.200 --> 0:57:23.880
<v Speaker 1>go watch the film. It's it's it's very very, very

0:57:23.960 --> 0:57:29.160
<v Speaker 1>interesting to see and I know that that's not about

0:57:29.160 --> 0:57:31.680
<v Speaker 1>I think I think all that's completely valid as it sounds.

0:57:31.800 --> 0:57:34.960
<v Speaker 1>It's echoes themes. Also, uh, the Sam Cook went through.

0:57:35.040 --> 0:57:37.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't know that that was unique to African American

0:57:37.320 --> 0:57:39.880
<v Speaker 1>artists during that time because many of them had a platform.

0:57:39.960 --> 0:57:42.760
<v Speaker 1>Same thing with MS. Simon. Many of them had a platform,

0:57:42.880 --> 0:57:45.840
<v Speaker 1>and that made them a target because they once again

0:57:45.920 --> 0:57:48.920
<v Speaker 1>didn't stay in their place, whatever that place is. But

0:57:49.080 --> 0:57:51.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, even with that, I think it's also important

0:57:51.800 --> 0:57:54.920
<v Speaker 1>to remember that there are there were then, there are now.

0:57:55.400 --> 0:57:58.120
<v Speaker 1>I think that there have always been Americans who have

0:57:58.240 --> 0:58:01.280
<v Speaker 1>believed in the promise of Him America and they run

0:58:01.720 --> 0:58:05.120
<v Speaker 1>every hue and they're from every demographic right because I

0:58:05.200 --> 0:58:09.480
<v Speaker 1>do believe that this is still the country where anyone

0:58:09.920 --> 0:58:12.760
<v Speaker 1>can truly be anything that they want to be. But

0:58:12.880 --> 0:58:15.240
<v Speaker 1>I do believe for some and may take more work

0:58:15.320 --> 0:58:18.440
<v Speaker 1>than others, but I believe that one here really can

0:58:18.680 --> 0:58:21.320
<v Speaker 1>crawl from we were just talking about Oprah. One can

0:58:21.440 --> 0:58:26.680
<v Speaker 1>come from a one room shack in uh Tuscagoula, Mississippi,

0:58:27.480 --> 0:58:31.120
<v Speaker 1>ab jack poverty, grow up you know, around addiction, abuse,

0:58:31.200 --> 0:58:34.760
<v Speaker 1>all of that, and literally become the queen of all media.

0:58:35.280 --> 0:58:39.680
<v Speaker 1>One can totally agree with that. I don't. I don't.

0:58:40.840 --> 0:58:45.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't. I don't. I think that circumstances a huge

0:58:45.200 --> 0:58:47.360
<v Speaker 1>part of who you can be in this country. I

0:58:47.480 --> 0:58:51.840
<v Speaker 1>really do. Are some people lucky and blessed, absolutely, But

0:58:51.920 --> 0:58:53.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't think that we can sit up here and

0:58:53.880 --> 0:58:56.040
<v Speaker 1>say that this is the land of the Free and

0:58:56.200 --> 0:58:59.360
<v Speaker 1>equal opportunity, because that's just not true. It's not no

0:58:59.480 --> 0:59:01.520
<v Speaker 1>matter how much we try to fantasize about it. That's

0:59:01.560 --> 0:59:07.520
<v Speaker 1>not the facts of life. It's not okay land other Free.

0:59:07.840 --> 0:59:11.479
<v Speaker 1>Y'all will be talking about that Shavin what's his name? Shot?

0:59:11.960 --> 0:59:16.920
<v Speaker 1>What's the man? Yeah? That one land other free? What

0:59:17.200 --> 0:59:18.880
<v Speaker 1>they what? What is going on in his case? They

0:59:18.920 --> 0:59:24.400
<v Speaker 1>saying that they can't He's not gonna get a fair trial. Yeah,

0:59:24.480 --> 0:59:27.800
<v Speaker 1>I think that. Um, I personally think they will have

0:59:27.960 --> 0:59:35.240
<v Speaker 1>trouble seating a jury that is impartial. Okay, okay, yeah,

0:59:35.400 --> 0:59:38.800
<v Speaker 1>because how will they I'd be really interested to be

0:59:38.920 --> 0:59:41.320
<v Speaker 1>part of that jury selection team. How do you find

0:59:41.600 --> 0:59:44.000
<v Speaker 1>twelve people who have not seen the video, who have

0:59:44.160 --> 0:59:48.360
<v Speaker 1>never had a feeling about Black Lives matter, or have

0:59:48.600 --> 0:59:51.600
<v Speaker 1>never you know, come on, you know, I think they're

0:59:51.600 --> 0:59:54.240
<v Speaker 1>coming I think they're coming into that completely wrong. I

0:59:54.320 --> 0:59:56.680
<v Speaker 1>think it needs to be twelve people who have seen

0:59:56.760 --> 0:59:58.840
<v Speaker 1>the video, but it needs to be twelve people who

0:59:58.880 --> 1:00:01.760
<v Speaker 1>are also over the age of forty five who have

1:00:01.960 --> 1:00:05.040
<v Speaker 1>lived through some things to understand both sides of that.

1:00:05.560 --> 1:00:07.240
<v Speaker 1>And now, you ain't gonna make me see it, not

1:00:07.440 --> 1:00:10.000
<v Speaker 1>not you, Las Nicholas. Personally, I'm talking about the people.

1:00:10.200 --> 1:00:12.200
<v Speaker 1>Y'all gonna make me see it no kind of way,

1:00:12.280 --> 1:00:14.240
<v Speaker 1>but that it was a murder. It was a murder,

1:00:14.320 --> 1:00:18.240
<v Speaker 1>flat out. But y'all need to see that when we

1:00:18.360 --> 1:00:20.560
<v Speaker 1>see it, when he watching all of us at the

1:00:20.600 --> 1:00:22.680
<v Speaker 1>same time, because if I just want to see what

1:00:22.840 --> 1:00:25.120
<v Speaker 1>he's seen when he looks at it, I'm sure he's

1:00:25.160 --> 1:00:27.440
<v Speaker 1>seen it quite a few times since Dawn self he

1:00:27.600 --> 1:00:29.840
<v Speaker 1>lived it. He probably has replayed it in his man

1:00:30.360 --> 1:00:32.920
<v Speaker 1>hope to God every time he closed his eyes. I

1:00:33.000 --> 1:00:35.680
<v Speaker 1>hope it replays in his head every time until it

1:00:35.760 --> 1:00:37.920
<v Speaker 1>drives some crazy. We now know that he had like

1:00:38.080 --> 1:00:41.000
<v Speaker 1>knelt on someone else's neck, so I think this is

1:00:41.000 --> 1:00:45.160
<v Speaker 1>another practice. It was common practice for him that that

1:00:45.800 --> 1:00:48.240
<v Speaker 1>Why why did this time get me in trouble? What happened? What?

1:00:48.400 --> 1:00:55.600
<v Speaker 1>What viral? That's why it needs to be twelve season.

1:00:55.960 --> 1:00:59.400
<v Speaker 1>Americans that have seen that video, or that have lost

1:00:59.520 --> 1:01:03.920
<v Speaker 1>children to or a loved one to not just police violence,

1:01:03.960 --> 1:01:06.000
<v Speaker 1>but any kind of gun violence, or in any kind

1:01:06.040 --> 1:01:08.960
<v Speaker 1>of victimizing or something, and they need to judge him,

1:01:09.200 --> 1:01:11.560
<v Speaker 1>and they can judge him fairly. There's only one thing

1:01:11.640 --> 1:01:15.720
<v Speaker 1>to judge him. You know that he's guilty, period, but

1:01:16.000 --> 1:01:18.080
<v Speaker 1>they can judge him fairly. Why would you show that

1:01:19.040 --> 1:01:21.760
<v Speaker 1>going to get people who haven't seen that, then they

1:01:21.840 --> 1:01:24.240
<v Speaker 1>hear about it. Oh my god, I was heartbroken. I

1:01:24.320 --> 1:01:26.040
<v Speaker 1>didn't know that. No, but you need to see it.

1:01:26.120 --> 1:01:28.680
<v Speaker 1>We saw it. Well, that's where the vias comes in though.

1:01:28.760 --> 1:01:30.640
<v Speaker 1>That's that's where the argument comes is that it's not

1:01:30.760 --> 1:01:33.360
<v Speaker 1>a fair trial because if you get people who haven't

1:01:33.360 --> 1:01:35.160
<v Speaker 1>seen it, one and I Honestly, I don't know. If

1:01:35.200 --> 1:01:38.080
<v Speaker 1>you can't get somebody who hasn't seen this video, I

1:01:38.120 --> 1:01:41.320
<v Speaker 1>would be very shocked. But that's where the argument comes

1:01:41.720 --> 1:01:45.080
<v Speaker 1>of it being biased, because if you have people that

1:01:45.200 --> 1:01:49.440
<v Speaker 1>already have these preconceived notions about him being guilty, then

1:01:49.480 --> 1:01:52.160
<v Speaker 1>it's not a fair trial. However, I'm by no means

1:01:52.240 --> 1:01:54.880
<v Speaker 1>saying I think he needs to go to jail. But

1:01:55.800 --> 1:01:59.320
<v Speaker 1>the issue then becomes can you prove intent? Because that's

1:01:59.360 --> 1:02:01.080
<v Speaker 1>what this whole is going to be about, is if

1:02:01.120 --> 1:02:05.360
<v Speaker 1>he intentionally meant to murder George Floyd. That's what this is,

1:02:05.400 --> 1:02:07.000
<v Speaker 1>and that's why they're going back and forth between the

1:02:07.080 --> 1:02:09.320
<v Speaker 1>second degree and third degree murder thing. And I believe

1:02:09.400 --> 1:02:12.760
<v Speaker 1>that Ellison is trying to even add a lesser charge

1:02:12.880 --> 1:02:16.680
<v Speaker 1>so that something can be done, right, Yeah, exactly so. Um.

1:02:17.840 --> 1:02:20.880
<v Speaker 1>My main concern though, is even if Derek Chauvin does

1:02:20.920 --> 1:02:24.479
<v Speaker 1>get convicted, is the appeals process. That's what I'm concerned about,

1:02:24.480 --> 1:02:27.480
<v Speaker 1>because we may get a conviction that's gonna be great,

1:02:27.640 --> 1:02:30.120
<v Speaker 1>but then behind closed doors that's when the whole appeals

1:02:30.160 --> 1:02:33.600
<v Speaker 1>process happens. We saw that with um, Um, what's the

1:02:33.640 --> 1:02:36.800
<v Speaker 1>woman's name in Dallas who she's shot? And Field. Uh,

1:02:38.680 --> 1:02:41.120
<v Speaker 1>thank you, John Botham in Dallas. You know, she went

1:02:41.160 --> 1:02:44.480
<v Speaker 1>into his apartment and um shot him and she was

1:02:44.520 --> 1:02:46.240
<v Speaker 1>in the wrong apartment. But she had a whole appeals

1:02:46.280 --> 1:02:48.680
<v Speaker 1>process where she tried to get her conviction overturned and

1:02:48.920 --> 1:02:53.640
<v Speaker 1>was honestly pretty successful. She was. So that's my concern.

1:02:53.680 --> 1:02:55.800
<v Speaker 1>If we get a conviction, I think that that's great.

1:02:55.920 --> 1:02:58.200
<v Speaker 1>I think it's probably more so going to be for

1:02:58.320 --> 1:03:00.840
<v Speaker 1>the optics if the conviction happens, But then what does

1:03:00.880 --> 1:03:03.880
<v Speaker 1>the appeals process look like after that? That that's my

1:03:03.960 --> 1:03:07.200
<v Speaker 1>main concern about this whole situation, because I don't think

1:03:07.240 --> 1:03:09.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't think he's gonna get I don't know if

1:03:09.440 --> 1:03:11.720
<v Speaker 1>you can get an unbiased jury at this point. Because

1:03:11.720 --> 1:03:14.600
<v Speaker 1>the real ty, too is I'll say this that most

1:03:14.640 --> 1:03:17.360
<v Speaker 1>of those did you say the real t Yeah it is.

1:03:17.720 --> 1:03:20.280
<v Speaker 1>You've been around flame too long, look at you. But

1:03:20.400 --> 1:03:22.520
<v Speaker 1>the real about this is most of the people that

1:03:22.640 --> 1:03:26.760
<v Speaker 1>were out protesting were white. Did you see that most

1:03:26.800 --> 1:03:30.040
<v Speaker 1>of the people that were out there were not us?

1:03:30.480 --> 1:03:34.160
<v Speaker 1>This goes back to my promise of America because I

1:03:34.240 --> 1:03:36.959
<v Speaker 1>believe that normal people were bothered by what they saw.

1:03:37.320 --> 1:03:42.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't believe. I don't believe everybody. I don't think.

1:03:43.080 --> 1:03:45.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't believe that you need to look like me

1:03:45.480 --> 1:03:49.240
<v Speaker 1>in order to understand the pain and inequity of what

1:03:49.360 --> 1:03:51.800
<v Speaker 1>happened in Minneapolis. I really don't. And I believe that

1:03:51.840 --> 1:03:53.800
<v Speaker 1>there are enough people who say, you know what, this

1:03:54.240 --> 1:03:56.640
<v Speaker 1>is too much. I'm not comfortable with what I saw

1:03:56.800 --> 1:04:00.320
<v Speaker 1>from my own hired police officers. I'm demonstra rating in

1:04:00.360 --> 1:04:03.360
<v Speaker 1>the street. That's where I believe that every day, Really

1:04:03.400 --> 1:04:06.640
<v Speaker 1>you sit back in you I am. I am completely

1:04:06.840 --> 1:04:09.360
<v Speaker 1>in awe of how gracious and how beautiful people can

1:04:09.400 --> 1:04:12.480
<v Speaker 1>be at the at the most unexpected, the places you

1:04:12.600 --> 1:04:15.480
<v Speaker 1>find love when you don't expect it. I will give

1:04:15.520 --> 1:04:17.480
<v Speaker 1>you that, Nick, I will give you that one. Yes,

1:04:17.560 --> 1:04:19.800
<v Speaker 1>I agree with you on that one. Do you like

1:04:20.720 --> 1:04:22.800
<v Speaker 1>the last one? The last one I didn't, But this one, no,

1:04:22.960 --> 1:04:24.800
<v Speaker 1>I do agree with you. Because we've said this. The

1:04:24.880 --> 1:04:30.120
<v Speaker 1>trajectory and the perspective of people in terms of race,

1:04:30.200 --> 1:04:34.240
<v Speaker 1>I think is changing. People don't White people especially don't

1:04:34.280 --> 1:04:36.520
<v Speaker 1>want to be viewed as racist. The thing that it

1:04:36.600 --> 1:04:38.640
<v Speaker 1>nerves me is people is you know, if white person

1:04:38.720 --> 1:04:40.600
<v Speaker 1>comes to me and says, well, what can I do?

1:04:41.120 --> 1:04:42.680
<v Speaker 1>And I'm like, I'm not I'm not here to give

1:04:42.680 --> 1:04:45.360
<v Speaker 1>you a history lesson, go to your own damn research one.

1:04:45.840 --> 1:04:48.320
<v Speaker 1>But I think that's more so the mentality of people

1:04:48.400 --> 1:04:50.760
<v Speaker 1>nowadays is that what can I really do to help

1:04:51.120 --> 1:04:52.880
<v Speaker 1>and not be on this other side because I don't

1:04:52.880 --> 1:04:54.760
<v Speaker 1>want to be on the wrong side of history. So

1:04:55.000 --> 1:04:57.760
<v Speaker 1>but I think the father, I think the pot has

1:04:57.800 --> 1:05:00.760
<v Speaker 1>boiled up too much, and before the podcast simmer back down,

1:05:01.160 --> 1:05:03.400
<v Speaker 1>they're trying to get the ball going back again. I

1:05:03.480 --> 1:05:05.600
<v Speaker 1>think way more of them are happy in the way

1:05:05.880 --> 1:05:08.240
<v Speaker 1>that the last four years, when that's why so many

1:05:08.280 --> 1:05:11.000
<v Speaker 1>of them came out and marched on the Capitol and

1:05:11.080 --> 1:05:13.200
<v Speaker 1>did ship like that, And I think, why the why

1:05:13.240 --> 1:05:15.320
<v Speaker 1>the going is hot? While it's still hot, they want

1:05:15.320 --> 1:05:17.160
<v Speaker 1>to get it back in and get this nigga back

1:05:17.240 --> 1:05:19.440
<v Speaker 1>in and and keep it moving the way it was.

1:05:19.920 --> 1:05:21.760
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna have to fight with everything we got because

1:05:21.760 --> 1:05:23.520
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna try to cheat with everything that they got.

1:05:23.600 --> 1:05:26.479
<v Speaker 1>And I'm telling you, we don't hold we don't own ship,

1:05:26.640 --> 1:05:28.440
<v Speaker 1>we don't hold the cars to ship. That's why I

1:05:28.480 --> 1:05:31.440
<v Speaker 1>love one this. I see all these black entrepreneurs, jay Z,

1:05:31.640 --> 1:05:34.200
<v Speaker 1>all these people doing all these black businesses and stuff

1:05:34.240 --> 1:05:35.919
<v Speaker 1>to help us out because I'm telling you it's gonna

1:05:35.920 --> 1:05:38.919
<v Speaker 1>become their America and our America if we already then ship.

1:05:41.360 --> 1:05:43.880

1:06:29.680 --> 1:06:33.560
