Speaker 1: do what I do? Hello, Welcome to laugh and learned lations. Gentlemen.
Speaker 1: I'm your host, Flaming Row, along with my beautiful co host.
Speaker 1: What your name is, Lauren Hogan High Flame. Let's Lauren Hogan, Ladies, Jim,
Speaker 1: We're here, were guys to have you guys come in
Speaker 1: on audio with us. Make sure you download on I
Speaker 1: Heart under the Black Effect Network, okay or Spotify, Apple,
Speaker 1: Amazon or wherever you listen to your podcast so you
Speaker 1: can hear us. Because this is what we want you
Speaker 1: to do. You can't see us this week. We're invisible
Speaker 1: from a secret location. Long where we at? And how
Speaker 1: it's a secret location. We can't tell them. We're too late,
Speaker 1: my big, my fast and already told me I told
Speaker 1: too much this week? Who has been a week? Little?
Speaker 1: How was your week? Baby? My week was busy? But yes,
Speaker 1: you have been on the blogs this week, Ms Monroe,
Speaker 1: So let's get into it. What did you do? It
Speaker 1: was Independence week? I was feeling my independence. That's the
Speaker 1: excuse we don't celebrate for on these parts we wasn't free.
Speaker 1: You know how I am, and you know how about women?
Speaker 1: And I know who I am and I know what
Speaker 1: I am, which is probably what the problem is with
Speaker 1: a lot of my systens. I'm sorry to say. Um.
Speaker 1: But Macy Grayhead was being interviewed at Pis Morrigan and
Speaker 1: they had a conversation and they Saily made a statement
Speaker 1: with her opinion. She said, I just don't believe that
Speaker 1: if you change your body parts that you would be
Speaker 1: a woman. That is her opinion. She's allowed. But then
Speaker 1: right behind that, she respectfully said, but I will call
Speaker 1: you whatever you want me to call you. And as
Speaker 1: an older person in the part of the LGBT community
Speaker 1: even when they don't want me. In my experience, we
Speaker 1: have fought to get to garner the name trans mean
Speaker 1: and trans women respectfully because we used to be transvestized,
Speaker 1: trans sexuals, drag Queen's hymns or it so anything. But
Speaker 1: we fought to get the respectful name of trans mean
Speaker 1: and trans women. But now that don't seem to be
Speaker 1: enough because the girls are funy to have the name woman, woman, woman?
Speaker 1: What is wrong with trans man or trans woman if
Speaker 1: you're a trans man or a trans woman. I just
Speaker 1: so she made a statement and said that I'll call
Speaker 1: you whatever you want. So that's what I heard. I
Speaker 1: heard the fact that she has done a couple of pride.
Speaker 1: I've always thought that she was the ally with the gage.
Speaker 1: But you know, every time somebody don't say anything that
Speaker 1: they want you to say, you naturally transphobic and you
Speaker 1: under attack. I just needed Macy graded another shed somebody
Speaker 1: from within the community that heard her because I heard
Speaker 1: what she said and she said, I will respectfully call
Speaker 1: you whatever you want. So yeah, because I didn't want
Speaker 1: them to her to think that everybody's on attack because
Speaker 1: I heard her, not the statement that they wanted to
Speaker 1: make her like she said something wrong. Yeah, and I
Speaker 1: mean it was Bette Mitler too got in trouble, uh
Speaker 1: this week for what she was saying about being a woman. Um,
Speaker 1: people got offended about that too. So I want to
Speaker 1: say I do applaud you for saying that, because it
Speaker 1: does feel now almost like women us are like being
Speaker 1: persecuted in a way, if that makes sense. Um, there's
Speaker 1: been several times where I've you know, been in the
Speaker 1: midst of conversations with some folks from the trans community,
Speaker 1: and if we say, well, you know, I'm a woman,
Speaker 1: just like they correct to us and say, no, you're
Speaker 1: sis gendered, and it's like, excuse me, don't label me.
Speaker 1: I said what I said, you know. So it's almost
Speaker 1: like that's that's your experience, and I respect your experience
Speaker 1: and I will however you identify, that's what I'll call you.
Speaker 1: But it almost seems like if we're not conforming to
Speaker 1: the ideals sometimes of the trans community, it can become
Speaker 1: sort of hypocritical, is what I'm noticing, which I don't
Speaker 1: think should be the case. And I'm not saying this
Speaker 1: is in all cases, but I'm seeing it more often
Speaker 1: where people are trying to correct us women and say,
Speaker 1: oh no, you're cis gendered, or trying to clarify what
Speaker 1: type of woman I am, And it's like, don't don't
Speaker 1: deny my womanhood based on your experience. I don't appreciate that,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? And what bigoes my mind
Speaker 1: lauring about that whole thing is most young gay and
Speaker 1: trans boys or girls come out to their breast spry
Speaker 1: and which is usually a biological girl. It's because that's
Speaker 1: the first th I feel safe. This We then they
Speaker 1: found their gay or they trans, and then they supersede
Speaker 1: the friend or whatever. But then what we mostly came
Speaker 1: out to some little girl that was our friend, and
Speaker 1: we befriend these girls, and then we turned on it
Speaker 1: is I right to me that my sisters that the
Speaker 1: ten or twelve just brought a bitches says angry. We'll
Speaker 1: be like, I give a fun Uh don't hear the
Speaker 1: beauty of when that woman said, but I would respectfully
Speaker 1: call you whatever you want to be addressed. We we
Speaker 1: fought for the respect for years and they just going
Speaker 1: there because they don't understand the struggle that we put
Speaker 1: on to make it easier for them this younger generation
Speaker 1: feels too entitled. They don't want to do the work.
Speaker 1: They want to cancel everything when somebody will say something
Speaker 1: they want to say. And I'm saying that to say that.
Speaker 1: There was a comic on my Live when this first
Speaker 1: one down. I made the video of Samson and he
Speaker 1: commented on you know, was so what was so wrong
Speaker 1: about what she said? And somebody in from within the
Speaker 1: community said, well, you shouldn't even comment on this because
Speaker 1: you're not trains. But do you need to be trans
Speaker 1: when you still up under the umbrella of LGBT. We
Speaker 1: all have an opinion. We all can say something, and
Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying. If you say something in their favor,
Speaker 1: you with them. But if you say anything that they
Speaker 1: don't agree with, then you you naturally you're transpolic. Everybody
Speaker 1: is not transpolic. Some people don't understand. Some people would
Speaker 1: like to understand, but y'all keep standing these angry very
Speaker 1: bitches as they ever learned. Well, I'll also say too,
Speaker 1: I saw somebody that commented on your video that you
Speaker 1: made in support of Macy Gray, and somebody was like,
Speaker 1: your opinion doesn't even matter because you're not a part
Speaker 1: of the trans community. You're a drag queen, and I'm
Speaker 1: just like, but see even to say that, it's like,
Speaker 1: how are you gonna deny me my experience? And that's
Speaker 1: that's that's becoming more and more of an issue. Now.
Speaker 1: I'm very open to having conversation and to learn learning more.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm always a sponge. I always want to
Speaker 1: soako more information. But it seems, like I said, more
Speaker 1: like you want to persecute other people that don't conform
Speaker 1: to your beliefs, which is not cool, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. So when I saw somebody called you a
Speaker 1: drag queen and somebody not a part of the trans community,
Speaker 1: I was like, how dare you say that? How are
Speaker 1: you gonna deny you know, your identity, you identify as trans,
Speaker 1: So who are you to say that claims not a
Speaker 1: part of the community, because she's not. It's probably somebody
Speaker 1: that's twelve years old, twenty years old, don't know nothing
Speaker 1: about me. Maybe I was trans when you just cooking
Speaker 1: and your daddy's nuts. So please get in together. If
Speaker 1: you're gonna talk about me, at least research because maybe
Speaker 1: I got some stories to tell you. Yeah. So I mean,
Speaker 1: like I said, I it's I think it's unfortunate that
Speaker 1: we're moving into these spaces. And I'm like, I'm always
Speaker 1: open to having conversations, but it seems like more and
Speaker 1: more women, us women are kind of being forced to
Speaker 1: properly identify what type of woman we are, and I
Speaker 1: think that by doing that, it's stripping our identity in
Speaker 1: our womanhood, which is which is it doesn't work that way,
Speaker 1: you know. And I never used that term. I've always
Speaker 1: but see and not no words in verbious change like
Speaker 1: I say, biological women, like we used it back in
Speaker 1: the fifties. We were knowing its colors, and then we
Speaker 1: became black in the African Americans. I of the sending
Speaker 1: the bourbons changes, but you still have to be comfortable
Speaker 1: with that word. And so many women that I know,
Speaker 1: I'm not comfortable with that word and they say that,
Speaker 1: but then the girls have issues with that. I'm like,
Speaker 1: I don't identify as I say, biological woman because the
Speaker 1: women I know don't like that other words, so I
Speaker 1: don't say that word. Yeah, no, I absolutely agree with you.
Speaker 1: So and um, I didn't really see anything wrong with
Speaker 1: what Macy Gray said. I didn't see anything wrong, but
Speaker 1: but Mitler said, So I'm gonna just leave it there.
Speaker 1: You know, they're getting persecuted in the media right now
Speaker 1: from other sides. But um, I really didn't see anything
Speaker 1: wrong with either what either one of them said. So
Speaker 1: I support them both. And this is a younger generation.
Speaker 1: This is because where your generation X. I'm generation why
Speaker 1: oh why you know you know, yeah, so this is
Speaker 1: generations And I'm telling you, we have so bad over
Speaker 1: this and we shouldn't even be fighting over this. Is
Speaker 1: so much other stuff happening in his country, and we
Speaker 1: fight over I made a video just showing this woman,
Speaker 1: but she was an allied for the community. So if
Speaker 1: they felt like she misspoke, pull a coat tail, pull
Speaker 1: to the side. I have a conversation with a teacher.
Speaker 1: They're so quick to jump on band waiting to try
Speaker 1: to get rid of everybody that is blowing my man.
Speaker 1: But that's I'm working making my d I'm built for
Speaker 1: this ship, y'all come on with, But I'm built for it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: speaking of who's built for the long haul, let's briefly
Speaker 1: touch on the January six Committee, the ongoing hearings that
Speaker 1: are happening, because it's getting a real deep it's getting real,
Speaker 1: real deep. I can't wait till next week January twelve,
Speaker 1: where um. I don't know if it's one of the
Speaker 1: final hearings, but supposedly it's it's coming to a close
Speaker 1: soon because I know um Pat Sippoloni, the former White
Speaker 1: House Council, is doing a closed uh closed or deposition
Speaker 1: basically with the committee that's not going to be open
Speaker 1: to the public, but they are going to use parts
Speaker 1: of the recorded um deposition in um open court during
Speaker 1: the hearing. So what are your feelings on this? Because
Speaker 1: the woman last week dropped the baby. She was like,
Speaker 1: are you dropped the bomb? Baby? She dropped all abom.
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, what was she at this whole time?
Speaker 1: She did Indeed, she gave all the information it is,
Speaker 1: but you know what's said, Lauren, we get all this
Speaker 1: information and if this would have been a black man,
Speaker 1: I'm playing the race card, it would have never even
Speaker 1: get remotely close to being this corrupt on his watch.
Speaker 1: Never they were play him in jail a long time ago.
Speaker 1: This doesn't make no sense. I don't I know that
Speaker 1: everybody wants Trump to go to jail. I do. I'm
Speaker 1: away all of that too. If he create if he
Speaker 1: committed crime, and he should convicted. But right now, I
Speaker 1: just want some charges on him so that he cannot
Speaker 1: run or whole public office again, because I'm telling you
Speaker 1: it's based It's like templine right now. Well, I did
Speaker 1: see a poll that of the Republican Party wants that
Speaker 1: they're basis to be continuing their loyalty to Trump as
Speaker 1: a part of their running campaign like the Republican candidates.
Speaker 1: I saw a pole that on MSNBC, which I think
Speaker 1: is just so outrageous and ludicrous. But my hope is
Speaker 1: that one, yes, he can never run for office again,
Speaker 1: but too is that some charges are brought at this
Speaker 1: point because he committed treason, among other things for aud
Speaker 1: election fraud. I mean, there's a laundry list of things. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I who hardly agree with that. I'm also waiting for
Speaker 1: Lindsay Graham to get god because I guarantee you they're
Speaker 1: gonna use him as a statificial enjoy what'd you say
Speaker 1: he may enjoy jail? Oh? Well, you know the another
Speaker 1: How are you doing? Yeah, exactly, So, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I saw the some of the court documents on the news.
Speaker 1: They were saying that they're not pursuing him, like pursuing
Speaker 1: criminal charges against him. Necessarily, they just want to use
Speaker 1: him as a material witness to further get to the
Speaker 1: folks that they're really trying to get. So, of course
Speaker 1: he pushed back and was just like, you know, I'm
Speaker 1: challenging the subpoena. Jenny Thomas did the same thing. She
Speaker 1: told the committee, you need to provide for the reasoning
Speaker 1: for why I need to come and testify, And it's like, wow,
Speaker 1: the privilege if I've ever seen it. But I'm just
Speaker 1: really hoping that something comes of this. Um. They were
Speaker 1: talking comparing this to like the Watergate scandal and when
Speaker 1: I forgot the the gentleman's name and the Watergate scandals,
Speaker 1: John something when he testified before the committee, it was
Speaker 1: the turning point which ultimately led to you know, Nixon's
Speaker 1: resignation and then he ultimately got pardoned. But I'm hoping
Speaker 1: Cippoloni testifying before the committee is the turning point of
Speaker 1: really getting some on creed evidence. Not that we don't
Speaker 1: have it, because we have Trump's you know, recorded lines
Speaker 1: of what he was asking like Raffins, Burger and folks
Speaker 1: to do, but hopefully it's the nail and the coffin
Speaker 1: that we can really get him, so he can't refer
Speaker 1: he could be two nails, three nails, the phone nails.
Speaker 1: What they're gonna do. He's so juiced up right now
Speaker 1: and all these foolishness and then all these mass murderers
Speaker 1: hit happening, and they're all coming out to be uh extreme,
Speaker 1: they're extremists for Trump. They've been going to the rallies
Speaker 1: and gays have been gags stuffing boo boo. And I'm
Speaker 1: not saying he told them to go out and do that,
Speaker 1: but I'm not saying he didn't. He helped ship. You know,
Speaker 1: I think Trump has um given a lot of like
Speaker 1: white racists the the confidence to officially step into the
Speaker 1: light and say I'm white, I'm racist, and there's nothing
Speaker 1: you can do about it. I think before they were
Speaker 1: kind of you know, in the closet about it and
Speaker 1: didn't want to be so forefront um about you know,
Speaker 1: the racism. But now it's like because it I don't
Speaker 1: know if you saw this um in Pennsylvania, the governor,
Speaker 1: the governor's race, the Republican governor is actually associated with
Speaker 1: the three percenters. They were actually marching in their Fourth
Speaker 1: of July parade um that they had in Philadelphia somewhere,
Speaker 1: I think, but he actually had white extremists like marching
Speaker 1: as a part of his contention in this parade, and
Speaker 1: subsequent of that, nine former Republicans out of Pennsylvania are
Speaker 1: now backing the Democratic candidate. So we may see a
Speaker 1: shift in some instances where some of those former Republicans
Speaker 1: are like, Okay, y'all are going too far forwards Trump
Speaker 1: and we might just need to kind of be in
Speaker 1: an independent space for a while. But it's it's good
Speaker 1: to see that that's happening, which kind of makes me
Speaker 1: think that, Okay, maybe there's an opportunity for some moral
Speaker 1: compass that some of these Republicans have, and worst case
Speaker 1: scenario if they need to back a Democrat, candidates don't
Speaker 1: do that. So we kind of saw the first instance
Speaker 1: to that. I think in the Pennsylvania governor's races. That's
Speaker 1: the only thing that's gonna fix this, Lauren, is school
Speaker 1: white folks really getting tired and frustrated with the way
Speaker 1: this country is with so much division and hate and
Speaker 1: all these ridiculous mass shootings for no reason from such
Speaker 1: young people. Because I don't understand how I understand that
Speaker 1: it's fifteen to eighteen. You're crazy. I'm living with crazy.
Speaker 1: I'm living in crazy, and I've been fifteen to eighteen
Speaker 1: a couple of times. But yeah, never to want to
Speaker 1: go out and kill people just for no reason whatever,
Speaker 1: whatever my back was to the wall. I don't understand
Speaker 1: that these Republicans are just won't change these gun laws,
Speaker 1: these al fifteens. And it's not even that you hear
Speaker 1: about how much mass the guns are. It's what they
Speaker 1: do to your body once they shoot you, because those
Speaker 1: bullets do a lot of damage to the body. I mean, ultimately,
Speaker 1: those are assault rifles, so they're designed to kill people
Speaker 1: on impact. That's what they're designed to do. So I
Speaker 1: saw two year old girl, excuse me, that lost her
Speaker 1: mom um in the midst of the parade. She said
Speaker 1: she was running to safety with her mom. They were
Speaker 1: holding hands, and the gunmen shot her mom in the
Speaker 1: chest and she fell to the floor and she couldn't
Speaker 1: help her. She had to keep running. She had to
Speaker 1: leave her mother behind so she could get to safety.
Speaker 1: And to have to live with that type of guilt
Speaker 1: and drama for the rest of your life, She's only
Speaker 1: twenty two. Not only did you watch her mother die
Speaker 1: in front of you, you had to leave her bleeding
Speaker 1: out in the middle of the sidewalk or the street
Speaker 1: so you didn't have to die too because somebody had
Speaker 1: a bad moment. And then been when all the news
Speaker 1: that's coming out about the young guy. Oh yeah, mental
Speaker 1: health is at the forefront of the problem here. You
Speaker 1: didn't hear Mitch McConnell say that, and of all that
Speaker 1: he had been plotting and planning this for a long time.
Speaker 1: This was pre yes, was premeditated. You he plotted and
Speaker 1: scammed the king, and then they had signs of it,
Speaker 1: and and then the day, and I loved it. They
Speaker 1: putting charges on the day because the dad was assistant
Speaker 1: and helping him get the damn rifle. They should have
Speaker 1: charged the other one. I think that the dad was
Speaker 1: afraid of him, and honestly, because I saw that report
Speaker 1: to that he had threatened to kill everybody in his household.
Speaker 1: And I think it was like four days later the
Speaker 1: dad went out and bottom gun. How many times I
Speaker 1: said that by police office, y'all know, a little billy
Speaker 1: Bob is sucked up. But and then y'all wanted to
Speaker 1: take all I can't do done with? Don't he tried
Speaker 1: to kill all of us and then they give my
Speaker 1: job as a police officer. Thank god the father wasn't
Speaker 1: in lauring for us because he could have been a
Speaker 1: police office. Well, that doesn't seem to matter either. I
Speaker 1: just saw a report that the former Cleveland cop that
Speaker 1: killed Tamir Rice just got um hired in Pennsylvania as
Speaker 1: a cop. Now, so that'sing around like like look like preachers. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they just go to different state and still are able
Speaker 1: to apply and get another job as a cop despite
Speaker 1: killing us and having a record, And considering that this
Speaker 1: gentleman in Chicago was arrested without incident after having an
Speaker 1: rifle assault rifle on him. We similarly, the same day,
Speaker 1: or I think a couple of days beforehand, a young
Speaker 1: boy named Jalen Walker in Akron, Ohio was being pulled
Speaker 1: over for a broken tail light and ended up being
Speaker 1: murdered by eight police officers who released ninety rounds of
Speaker 1: gunfire and sixty bullets at least hit him. And he
Speaker 1: didn't have a weapon, he was unarmed and he was running.
Speaker 1: And because we are terrified or be the last encounter
Speaker 1: that we ever had at that flight or flight experience
Speaker 1: is very real, and most people are afraid of cops.
Speaker 1: So when you're pulling us over, and it wasn't just
Speaker 1: like one cop car, there were the cops surrounded him.
Speaker 1: So he was running for his life. Yeah, and was
Speaker 1: shot sixty times. And apparently I'm glad that they're going
Speaker 1: to do an investigation because there were five cops. There
Speaker 1: was a total of thirteen or fourteen cops. I believe
Speaker 1: the eight that released those bullets. Five of the cops
Speaker 1: didn't shoot at all. And I think that's what the
Speaker 1: I hope charges are filed and if it comes to
Speaker 1: a grand jury, I hope that that's at the forefront.
Speaker 1: And they asked those five officers, well, why did you
Speaker 1: all choose not to fire your weapons if you really
Speaker 1: thought that you were in danger and there was a
Speaker 1: need to protect your fellow officers because you felt that
Speaker 1: your life was threatened. Five of y'all didn't fire, So
Speaker 1: why what did y'all see that the other eight to
Speaker 1: the right? Damn thing, Lauren, And you just said, some
Speaker 1: people some people can't live with thank you, so thank
Speaker 1: you will consume you and some of these people, though
Speaker 1: they can't do bad things because it's gonna eat a month. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I just hope that this gets I hope that those
Speaker 1: cops are indicted, that they lose their jobs, they lose
Speaker 1: their pensions, and they're never able to be hired as
Speaker 1: a police officer again because to release that's more bullets
Speaker 1: we realized in the firing squad at an execution, right,
Speaker 1: are bullets in a firing squad. Back to the young
Speaker 1: man who killed the people in Hunding Park, which is
Speaker 1: my the sumurb of Chicago, which is where I'm from.
Speaker 1: You know, he got in dragged to get away. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: he dressed in women's clothing to escape. That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: People want to talk about mental health. His mental health
Speaker 1: doesn't seem to be that crazy if he was able
Speaker 1: to plot and plan to that degree. He even had
Speaker 1: a getaway plan. You get it instand plan when you
Speaker 1: do something wrong. So yeah, I don't want to hear
Speaker 1: it at all. It blows me though, the things that
Speaker 1: what kind of hate could they experience in eighteen years
Speaker 1: because he's only eighteen years out, So what what? What?
Speaker 1: What did he watch on the internet? Because they say
Speaker 1: he was on the head and make it out kind
Speaker 1: of he swats because and all kinds of racist remarks
Speaker 1: or what have you. But is that what he learned
Speaker 1: that hate from on the internet. I think it's obviously
Speaker 1: starts with not obviously I wouldn't say that, but in
Speaker 1: all cases, I will say it's not the parents. So
Speaker 1: I don't know what what type of role the parents
Speaker 1: played in this. It very well could be a situation
Speaker 1: where the parents kind of instilled that racism in him
Speaker 1: and then he kind of just turned into a psychopath
Speaker 1: that they couldn't control. But that was the monster that
Speaker 1: they created. Or is maybe he found refuge in you know,
Speaker 1: racist internet rhetoric. I don't know. And then like you said, uh,
Speaker 1: then he's arrested without incident, No, not a hatch on them, nothing.
Speaker 1: Just I'm just tired. I'm really tired. It's starting to
Speaker 1: feel like one it feels like we're in a time
Speaker 1: more with everything that's going on, especially with the Supreme
Speaker 1: Court and what they're doing. Um, it feels like summer again,
Speaker 1: Um when George Flood was murdered. Um, because some are
Speaker 1: just started and it's just like it's just a tradential
Speaker 1: downpour of just bullshit. I think, Oh, the trans community
Speaker 1: has dam me, I'm the Clarence Thomas and the uh
Speaker 1: what's the and the Kansas owned the title of Clarence
Speaker 1: Thomas in kandas on. So the trans community, that's what
Speaker 1: they called the girl possible and so me, why don't
Speaker 1: you that's just very disrespectful to call you Clarence Thomas. Now,
Speaker 1: that's very disrespectful. Mm hmm. My wife ain't white and
Speaker 1: funny looking. Um. Yeah, So I don't I don't know
Speaker 1: what the state of the world is. I feel like
Speaker 1: also too, in a lot of spaces, because this has
Speaker 1: happened so often, we're becoming very desensitized to the severity
Speaker 1: of these situations, which I think is extremely dangerous. I'll
Speaker 1: say that too. You know, folks, we are more worried
Speaker 1: about making, you know, the shooting that happened in Highland
Speaker 1: Park about my let me make my video go viral,
Speaker 1: rather than the fact that people were getting killed. So, UM,
Speaker 1: I just think the violence that's happening in America is UM.
Speaker 1: It's just so often that we're becoming desensitized, and it's
Speaker 1: UM it's a scary thing, uh to have to face.
Speaker 1: So I'm very nervous. I am glad. I will say
Speaker 1: that I live in the state of California, thank you,
Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom. But um, the crazy people are out, They're
Speaker 1: really out. And every time I'm in a grocery store
Speaker 1: any place public, I'm always looking for the crazy people.
Speaker 1: And if I see any bulges around anybody's waists or anywhere.
Speaker 1: So yeah, and you and you twenty seven, good guy,
Speaker 1: And I think I'm a world reward but I'm more
Speaker 1: word wards than you long as you're young. But I
Speaker 1: look around too. I'm telling you, I got to stop
Speaker 1: looking at you. You gotta. I'm gonna people watch you anyway, though.
Speaker 1: I like to study people. So if I said you
Speaker 1: looking around looking behind you like you baby, and I'm
Speaker 1: looking you looking crazy, I'm gonna give me a sup.
Speaker 1: Can put it in a sucking crack yours strange things
Speaker 1: out of the ordinary. Yeah, And I hate that we
Speaker 1: have to live on high alert like that, but you
Speaker 1: have to live because you just never know when or
Speaker 1: where it's going to happen. Because I'll say this too,
Speaker 1: and I think I've said it before. I don't think
Speaker 1: I'll ever go back to a movie theater ever, uh huh.
Speaker 1: I don't think I ever will it bothers me though,
Speaker 1: that because now so many kids won't get to experience that.
Speaker 1: My generation already feels like the generation behind you missed
Speaker 1: out on so much because they don't They don't interact
Speaker 1: with each other. Everything is on the computer on the phone,
Speaker 1: so they don't really interactulate you on like a sports
Speaker 1: team or a soccer team. Then you they have a
Speaker 1: little interaction, but for the most part, they mostly on
Speaker 1: the video games and stuff. They don't never know the
Speaker 1: fun that we had. Yeah, and I don't know if
Speaker 1: that's ever going to be the case, because I can
Speaker 1: only imagine the day that I have kids. My I
Speaker 1: think my level of anxiety will just be through the roof.
Speaker 1: I might have to take his next every day. I
Speaker 1: might have to look. That won't be your excuse. I
Speaker 1: don't know, because I don't know what that's gonna be like.
Speaker 1: I can't imagine having a child or just a person
Speaker 1: that I'm responsible for at this day and age. Shoot,
Speaker 1: kudos to you, you got three. I don't know how
Speaker 1: to do that. I would be worried every time my
Speaker 1: kid walks outside the house. I just I would be
Speaker 1: I am one. But are you can do? Is try
Speaker 1: to live faithfully and pray, you know, and it's so
Speaker 1: many good people who has lost their two I'm like
Speaker 1: they're gonna keep being chrome going from cities, CTC. Because
Speaker 1: it seems like there's so much corruption with us. You
Speaker 1: we thought George Floyd's death, putting it right in our
Speaker 1: Facebook is gonna change things. It didn't change anything. Well,
Speaker 1: we can thank Trump for that. Oh and Derek Chelfen
Speaker 1: got sentence to twenty one years today and for federal
Speaker 1: for his federal case civil rights case. So yeah, problem
Speaker 1: applause for that. Um, they don't look black things to change.
Speaker 1: And you know, and we and I hate that the
Speaker 1: black people we got so much in fighting with up
Speaker 1: under the black umbrella. We do because we want to
Speaker 1: seem like they'rey're hunting. That made no sense that they
Speaker 1: shot that baby that many times that it's like they was.
Speaker 1: And then you know, in the news they said that
Speaker 1: they used black folks pictures for for the for the
Speaker 1: for the your practice in Detroit for their training. Yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: but but racism doesn't exist among the police. What are
Speaker 1: you talking about the question is if the revolution does come,
Speaker 1: who the black ones and the brown was gonna stay
Speaker 1: what they're gonna stand with their blue or they're gonna
Speaker 1: stand with their own. Well, it's interesting too, and I
Speaker 1: will say this as well. I think, um, the Latino
Speaker 1: community UM almost has they're almost like ingrained to have
Speaker 1: an identity crisis. And I don't want to I don't
Speaker 1: need to offend anybody when I say that, but it's
Speaker 1: like my friends that I've talked to are not my friends,
Speaker 1: but just people that I know that I've talked to
Speaker 1: that have come over, like I have crossed the border
Speaker 1: to come into this country, that I know, Like when
Speaker 1: you have to fill out your paperwork, there's not an
Speaker 1: actual checkbox for them of like their ethnicity, like they
Speaker 1: force them to check white. So it's like as soon
Speaker 1: as you get here, there's almost like an assimilating process
Speaker 1: that takes place. And I think that's part of the reason.
Speaker 1: It's just my opinion, I think that's part of the
Speaker 1: reason why we have a lot of like Latinos who
Speaker 1: want to be white, especially in the police department, in
Speaker 1: the fire department, as well in public office or public
Speaker 1: service UM positions. We've got a lot of those. But
Speaker 1: I think that it's part of how they're brought into
Speaker 1: this country and almost like forced to conform. So, um,
Speaker 1: there's trauma for them too, you know. So I don't
Speaker 1: know where we go from here. That's the sad part
Speaker 1: is that to say that In the news one did
Speaker 1: you see the story about the ten year old girl,
Speaker 1: I think it was Ohio that it was pregnant. She
Speaker 1: was past six weeks and so they wouldn't allow her
Speaker 1: to get abortion. Her father had impregnated her. She was
Speaker 1: ten years old. Oh I saw that. But they took
Speaker 1: her somewhere for her to get an abortion, but at
Speaker 1: the room because she couldn't do it in her own state.
Speaker 1: Oh No, Ohio passed the law that if the fetus
Speaker 1: that's inside of you will have lethal like side effects,
Speaker 1: which would either the you know, the fetus is not
Speaker 1: going to survive the pregnancy, or the pregnancy can potentially
Speaker 1: you know, hurt the mom. They're still requiring the mom
Speaker 1: to carry the babies to full term. Wow. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: Ohio is also a dangerous place to live in and
Speaker 1: I know people that live in Ohio. So yeah, it's getting.
Speaker 1: It's it's getting. And I'm with you when you say,
Speaker 1: don't let it become so calm and because it's almost
Speaker 1: like you owe another one and then you just keep
Speaker 1: going on with your day. What happened? Oh my god,
Speaker 1: they had another shooting. I remembering something like that in
Speaker 1: my area. Would oh my god, they would stop all
Speaker 1: the traffic and the news and everywhere else or that
Speaker 1: something like that. But it shook you to your core.
Speaker 1: Now it's just like, dang, another shooting happen. That's crazy. Anyway,
Speaker 1: what are we having for dinner? That's what it's That's
Speaker 1: what it's like. Yeah, that's so sad. That's so sad
Speaker 1: because it becomes become so common, we're becoming desensitized to
Speaker 1: the violence that we're being subjected to on a consistent basis,
Speaker 1: and that's very dangerous. It's very dangerous because if we
Speaker 1: want to talk about mental health, that is definitely a
Speaker 1: cause for a mental health conversation that they get they're
Speaker 1: getting us ready for average famous land. They could have
Speaker 1: been worse, that's what they getting us ready for. Com Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're right, Yeah, you're very right about that. Scary damn.
Speaker 1: So definitely gonna say my prayers and continue to put
Speaker 1: positive energy into the universe because I feel like that's
Speaker 1: all we can do and show up when needed too,
Speaker 1: for those causes, for those advocacy things. Definitely, my people,
Speaker 1: I need you to invest in y'all some mamo. Y'all
Speaker 1: stop invested in all these labels. Get you some mammo.
Speaker 1: Be prepared for anything, house, anything. So many states have
Speaker 1: got open carry now, so be prepared for anything and
Speaker 1: anywhere at any given time. You heard what I said, right,
Speaker 1: hum I said? You heard what I said right? What
Speaker 1: you're saying, I got new artillery in my house. Oh
Speaker 1: my god, y'all know she's like a cowboy. I loves
Speaker 1: to go to the gun range, especially with my uncle.
Speaker 1: My uncle is x L A p D. He takes
Speaker 1: into the gun range and I don't know, if you've
Speaker 1: ever seen Suicide Squad, you know Will Smith's character shot.
Speaker 1: You know he hits the same target every time with
Speaker 1: the same bullet. That's my uncle. He's crazy. I love
Speaker 1: to go to the gun range with him, and with
Speaker 1: three days a part of our birthdays. That's my dude.
Speaker 1: So you know, save the apple for the treaty related
Speaker 1: if that's fine. I said that I wear my crazy
Speaker 1: badge with honor. I'm just saying that the state of
Speaker 1: the world, you know, boris Yalton stepped down today, has
Speaker 1: resigned today. Johnson Shirley did well. This is what they're
Speaker 1: calling this like the Great resignation. They've never had so
Speaker 1: many resignations in one day in the UK. I think
Speaker 1: there was like a total of it was over thirty
Speaker 1: people resigned, over thirty people and as a part of
Speaker 1: his administration resigned today, resigned today. It's like the Great
Speaker 1: resignation of in the UK. I wonder who they replacing
Speaker 1: because it wasn't there a woman they ran against him
Speaker 1: that was very close to winning. Yeah, because he had
Speaker 1: a recall a couple of weeks ago. He survived a recall,
Speaker 1: but I guess it did too much damage to the
Speaker 1: point where he couldn't salvage his uh his prime minister term.
Speaker 1: So and he's also is it I mean I called
Speaker 1: him the UK version of Donald Trump, so either because
Speaker 1: he was out just party doing COVID. Yeah, but he's
Speaker 1: the UK version of Donald Trump. So I'm glad that
Speaker 1: he resigned. He talked about you know, Muslims and his
Speaker 1: his inflammatory comments and racist comments added to a lot
Speaker 1: of the violence that happened in UK. And you know,
Speaker 1: the UK is a very peaceful country. We're not very peaceful,
Speaker 1: but they're they know how to you know, apprehend suspects
Speaker 1: without incident, without having guns like the UK, you know,
Speaker 1: for all tents and purposes. Their crime rate is nowhere
Speaker 1: near as high as ours. That's what I'll say. Their
Speaker 1: crime rate is nowhere near high as ours. But so
Speaker 1: like Hanson, Ray and leverything sound is the Orange man,
Speaker 1: you run again, girl, Maybe my kids bounced into the UK.
Speaker 1: I feel like, though after all of this has happened,
Speaker 1: like all of these hearings, I'm hoping that people It
Speaker 1: seems as though people are starting to turn against Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: And though his base may be very strong, because I
Speaker 1: know seventy two million people still voted for him, Joe
Speaker 1: Biden still got more votes for the popular vote, he
Speaker 1: had about seventy five million people vote for him. So
Speaker 1: I never want to be in a position where I
Speaker 1: lose hope because if I feel like, if I lose hope,
Speaker 1: then there's just nothing to look forward to, and that's
Speaker 1: just nowhere to live. So I'm trying to see they've
Speaker 1: already put day, already implemented too many different and they've
Speaker 1: been playing chess the whole damn time. These damn Democrats
Speaker 1: keep playing checkers, but they've been playing chance a big time.
Speaker 1: Even if we want that the popular vote could be cheat. Oh,
Speaker 1: they're gonna cheat the let's just say out that. But
Speaker 1: you know what I really foresee happening. I'm saying this now,
Speaker 1: saying this now, and we're gonna have this episode to
Speaker 1: look back on. After Gavin Newsom wins his governor's race
Speaker 1: and does another four years for the state of California.
Speaker 1: I guarantee you he's gonna run for president for the
Speaker 1: Democratic Party. I guarantee you, guarantee you. If not sooner,
Speaker 1: mark my words, he's gonna run, Mark my words. That's
Speaker 1: both him Q and he related to my baby Nancy.
Speaker 1: You voted for him because he's cute. You didn't vote
Speaker 1: for him because he gave Manhattan Beach back to its
Speaker 1: rightful black owners, and he assembled a reparations committee, and
Speaker 1: he made California abortion an abortion sanctuary state, and refused
Speaker 1: to comply with any other states who have their their
Speaker 1: residents come over here to seek abortion. You didn't vote
Speaker 1: for him for all of those reasons. No, I both
Speaker 1: with him comes when I did an e BT, he
Speaker 1: gave it, so thank you. Um, Well, we are coming
Speaker 1: to a close of this episode of Laugh and Learn,
Speaker 1: so we gotta say what we always say before we
Speaker 1: close out here Laugh and Learned. We have a saying
Speaker 1: that we're never trying to get anybody that your mind.
Speaker 1: We're simply trying to get you to use your mind.
Speaker 1: Wife lame, because the mind is a terrible thing to waste.
Speaker 1: And let me just say this before we got off
Speaker 1: of this live this week. I know some of my
Speaker 1: string is upset with me about the statements that I
Speaker 1: made defending this woman, But you have to give respect
Speaker 1: in order to give respect. We want to be respected
Speaker 1: as trans men and women. All we have to do
Speaker 1: is give respect to other people. I'm telling you fighting,
Speaker 1: we're never going to We're never gonna come to a
Speaker 1: happy medium. But we need to hear each other when
Speaker 1: we're talking to each other. Y'all don't want to listen.
Speaker 1: Y'all just want to talk and get your point across,
Speaker 1: to see it your way. There are two ways, always,
Speaker 1: there are always to this. Sometimes there's even three. But
Speaker 1: you're not gonna hear in fighting. And my DNA ain't
Speaker 1: life that I'm bill fit, So y'all come on with
Speaker 1: it over here because you know, I'm not I'm baby before,
Speaker 1: but I hope that we can come to a happy
Speaker 1: media oh in order to use your man because some
Speaker 1: of y'all together man before. Okay, you went on the ramps.
Speaker 1: You you said it first. I just I'm just mortifact
Speaker 1: that my sisters think that they didn't hear the respect
Speaker 1: that may see great game. That's my issue. You have
Speaker 1: to hear people and listen to the entire statement, not
Speaker 1: to click baby, not what somebody else told you. You said.
Speaker 1: That is when you Loan says, we're not trying to
Speaker 1: get you to change your man, and I said, we
Speaker 1: just try to get you the usual man, because it's
Speaker 1: your thoughts, your thoughts, not somebody else. It's good God. Yeah,
