WEBVTT - Life in the Express Lane

0:00:14.560 --> 0:00:19.720
<v Speaker 1>me your Girl Danielle Moody recording from the Homemnker Folks.

0:00:24.680 --> 0:00:29.040

0:00:42.360 --> 0:00:45.920
<v Speaker 1>to and if it didn't make my list, I don't

0:00:45.960 --> 0:00:50.680
<v Speaker 1>even know where to begin today, you know, Fridays, I

0:00:50.720 --> 0:00:52.959
<v Speaker 1>have said that I want to do like a recap

0:00:53.040 --> 0:00:56.400
<v Speaker 1>of the week, and it's just like so much happens

0:00:56.480 --> 0:00:59.520
<v Speaker 1>in any given day that by the time I get

0:00:59.560 --> 0:01:03.080
<v Speaker 1>to Friday, I feel like we've lived like four weeks

0:01:03.120 --> 0:01:06.880
<v Speaker 1>in one. And I don't know about you, but like

0:01:07.120 --> 0:01:10.160
<v Speaker 1>I feel like I'm aging in all of the not

0:01:10.319 --> 0:01:12.479
<v Speaker 1>good ways. Do you know what I'm saying? Like just

0:01:13.200 --> 0:01:17.560
<v Speaker 1>the stress level that I'm trying to get under control.

0:01:18.080 --> 0:01:20.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm working on a couple of projects that I will

0:01:20.600 --> 0:01:25.640
<v Speaker 1>tell you all about soon to try and deal find

0:01:25.880 --> 0:01:28.520
<v Speaker 1>different tools to deal with the amount of stress that

0:01:28.560 --> 0:01:31.399
<v Speaker 1>we are all dealing with. And as I discover new

0:01:31.400 --> 0:01:33.759
<v Speaker 1>things and try new things. I love to share them

0:01:33.800 --> 0:01:37.440
<v Speaker 1>with all of you, you know. Particularly, I've talked about meditation.

0:01:37.640 --> 0:01:40.280
<v Speaker 1>I've talked about yoga, which I don't do nearly enough,

0:01:40.280 --> 0:01:43.240
<v Speaker 1>but I do meditate multiple times a day, and I

0:01:43.280 --> 0:01:47.160
<v Speaker 1>have found that very helpful. I'm waiting for this fucking

0:01:47.360 --> 0:01:50.920
<v Speaker 1>gray spring to leave New York where it rains every

0:01:50.960 --> 0:01:54.840
<v Speaker 1>single day, which doesn't help with your view are like me,

0:01:55.240 --> 0:01:59.440
<v Speaker 1>and I've discovered that you are have seasonal depression where

0:01:59.840 --> 0:02:02.400
<v Speaker 1>I can take rainy days, and some rainy days I

0:02:02.440 --> 0:02:07.240
<v Speaker 1>really love, but multiple gray days in a row are

0:02:07.280 --> 0:02:12.040
<v Speaker 1>really hard for my spirits. I feel very tired, just

0:02:12.200 --> 0:02:16.200
<v Speaker 1>very lethargic. You know, it's really it just takes a

0:02:16.240 --> 0:02:19.800
<v Speaker 1>toll after a while. So spring of New York is

0:02:20.280 --> 0:02:24.000
<v Speaker 1>tough because that's what we get here. Nonetheless, as I

0:02:24.240 --> 0:02:29.440
<v Speaker 1>look over this week, folks, I mean, the fuckory knows

0:02:29.520 --> 0:02:34.280
<v Speaker 1>no bounds, the racism knows no bounds, and I just

0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:37.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I feel like this country is just

0:02:37.320 --> 0:02:41.240
<v Speaker 1>in a death spiral. Do you know, Like every day

0:02:42.040 --> 0:02:45.639
<v Speaker 1>there's another headline, you know, MiFi pristone is being heard

0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:50.320
<v Speaker 1>right now before this fucking right wing, grifting ass Supreme

0:02:50.360 --> 0:02:57.680
<v Speaker 1>Court and Let's take a deep breath. Let's take a

0:02:57.680 --> 0:03:07.520
<v Speaker 1>deep breath. Okay, let me start, because I just I

0:03:07.560 --> 0:03:10.079
<v Speaker 1>felt myself starting to spiral and we don't want to

0:03:10.120 --> 0:03:13.400
<v Speaker 1>do that on this Friday. So let's start with the

0:03:13.440 --> 0:03:16.880
<v Speaker 1>bullshit reduction in bond for Donald Trump. Once again, the

0:03:16.960 --> 0:03:21.680
<v Speaker 1>justice system shows us that there are multiple lanes of justice.

0:03:22.080 --> 0:03:25.200
<v Speaker 1>And if you are rich and white and straight, then

0:03:25.320 --> 0:03:30.240
<v Speaker 1>you will get into the express lane where it is

0:03:30.400 --> 0:03:33.600
<v Speaker 1>always green lights, where there are no tolls, there are

0:03:33.639 --> 0:03:36.320
<v Speaker 1>no cops. You can do basically whatever you want. And

0:03:36.320 --> 0:03:37.920
<v Speaker 1>if you want to weave in and out of that

0:03:38.040 --> 0:03:41.840
<v Speaker 1>lane and potentially strike or kill other people on the

0:03:41.920 --> 0:03:44.200
<v Speaker 1>road with you, so be it. You're in the fast lane,

0:03:44.240 --> 0:03:49.160
<v Speaker 1>like you got that complexion for the protection, right, So

0:03:49.720 --> 0:03:52.480
<v Speaker 1>who gives a fuck about everybody else that's on the road, Right,

0:03:52.520 --> 0:03:56.240
<v Speaker 1>they should watch out for you. That's essentially where we

0:03:56.360 --> 0:04:01.000
<v Speaker 1>are with these Trump cases. And just when we thought

0:04:01.040 --> 0:04:05.160
<v Speaker 1>that maybe maybe after fifty years of grifting, after fifty

0:04:05.240 --> 0:04:11.040
<v Speaker 1>years of abating the law, after fifty years of assaulting women,

0:04:11.440 --> 0:04:15.240
<v Speaker 1>of lying, of stealing, of grifting, of all of these things,

0:04:15.280 --> 0:04:18.120
<v Speaker 1>that maybe, just maybe it would catch up, and then

0:04:18.160 --> 0:04:21.360
<v Speaker 1>a judge is like, no, maybe we should just give

0:04:21.440 --> 0:04:23.359
<v Speaker 1>him a break, you know, because life has been so

0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:26.360
<v Speaker 1>tough for Donald Trump that he needs a break. What

0:04:26.400 --> 0:04:28.839
<v Speaker 1>I would love is for the justice system to treat

0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:33.040
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump like any black man that is assumed guilty,

0:04:33.240 --> 0:04:36.200
<v Speaker 1>right even when they're innocent, even when there is nothing

0:04:36.240 --> 0:04:38.560
<v Speaker 1>to hold them on, no reason to shoot them. I

0:04:38.640 --> 0:04:42.120
<v Speaker 1>want the justice fucking system to treat Donald Trump like

0:04:42.160 --> 0:04:44.920
<v Speaker 1>a black man. How about that? You know? I want

0:04:44.920 --> 0:04:47.960
<v Speaker 1>to say this not like I talk a lot about,

0:04:48.000 --> 0:04:51.799
<v Speaker 1>like you know, culture and like hip hop or anything

0:04:51.960 --> 0:04:55.920
<v Speaker 1>on WOKF even though huge fan, It's just not really

0:04:55.960 --> 0:04:58.440
<v Speaker 1>what I talk about on this show. But I will

0:04:58.480 --> 0:05:02.680
<v Speaker 1>say this. If you've at all been following the downfall

0:05:02.920 --> 0:05:09.279
<v Speaker 1>of Sean Diddy Combs, you know, founder of Bad Boy Records, rapper, entrepreneur,

0:05:09.839 --> 0:05:14.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, billionaire, all the things, and you know this year,

0:05:14.760 --> 0:05:22.040
<v Speaker 1>Sean Diddy Combs's character has begin to unravel right where

0:05:22.920 --> 0:05:27.880
<v Speaker 1>he was sued initially by his ex girlfriend Cassie, another

0:05:28.080 --> 0:05:31.520
<v Speaker 1>R and B singer who he'd been in relationship with

0:05:31.640 --> 0:05:35.599
<v Speaker 1>for ten years, right like or more, and you know

0:05:37.080 --> 0:05:40.520
<v Speaker 1>people in Hollywood. The thing that always strikes me is

0:05:40.560 --> 0:05:44.440
<v Speaker 1>that it's as if we all just don't pay attention

0:05:44.640 --> 0:05:48.520
<v Speaker 1>or it's just par for the course. The age gaps

0:05:48.600 --> 0:05:53.000
<v Speaker 1>that you see in Hollywood that are just if you

0:05:53.080 --> 0:05:56.599
<v Speaker 1>saw them anywhere else, it would be incredibly suspect, But

0:05:56.680 --> 0:06:00.360
<v Speaker 1>in Hollywood we're like, oh, it's totally fine. Nonetheless, when

0:06:00.440 --> 0:06:05.279
<v Speaker 1>Cassie and Diddy got together, they were she was young, right,

0:06:05.560 --> 0:06:10.039
<v Speaker 1>like young. I believe he may be twenty plus years

0:06:10.040 --> 0:06:15.320
<v Speaker 1>older than her. Nonetheless, in her lawsuit, which he basically

0:06:15.720 --> 0:06:21.000
<v Speaker 1>had go away because he paid her out, she told

0:06:21.360 --> 0:06:28.160
<v Speaker 1>the absolute disgusting story of sexual abuse, of physical abuse,

0:06:28.520 --> 0:06:35.440
<v Speaker 1>of mental abuse, of stalking, of pressure campaign from outside people.

0:06:36.480 --> 0:06:40.719
<v Speaker 1>It was about ten years of being in prison, right.

0:06:40.920 --> 0:06:43.440
<v Speaker 1>And for people who will say, well, you know she

0:06:43.520 --> 0:06:44.920
<v Speaker 1>could have left in this, that and the other thing

0:06:44.960 --> 0:06:48.039
<v Speaker 1>when you were young and super impressionable, I just want

0:06:48.040 --> 0:06:52.240
<v Speaker 1>people to remember being you know, a teenager, right, and

0:06:52.320 --> 0:06:56.880
<v Speaker 1>having somebody who is older pay attention to you. It's

0:06:56.920 --> 0:07:00.200
<v Speaker 1>particularly inside of your industry where they are taking you

0:07:00.279 --> 0:07:03.280
<v Speaker 1>underneath their wing and everybody is telling you how lucky

0:07:03.320 --> 0:07:08.520
<v Speaker 1>you are, and so you know, you just take what

0:07:08.680 --> 0:07:13.200
<v Speaker 1>is given to you. Well, the FEDS raided two of

0:07:13.280 --> 0:07:18.280
<v Speaker 1>Diti's homes and there was video that came out from

0:07:18.600 --> 0:07:24.200
<v Speaker 1>TMZ of what a fucking raid looks like, right, which

0:07:24.280 --> 0:07:30.120
<v Speaker 1>is I mean, oh my god, like just horrible TV

0:07:30.360 --> 0:07:33.920
<v Speaker 1>pulls out of the wall, like just couches ripped, I

0:07:33.920 --> 0:07:39.800
<v Speaker 1>mean just ransacked. And I thought to myself, Huh, where

0:07:39.800 --> 0:07:44.280
<v Speaker 1>the fuck was this energy for Donald Trump? Literally, this

0:07:44.360 --> 0:07:48.360
<v Speaker 1>is what I'm saying when we talk about one being

0:07:48.400 --> 0:07:51.400
<v Speaker 1>given a heads up, which Donald Trump was that his

0:07:51.480 --> 0:07:53.280
<v Speaker 1>place was going to be rated enough of a heads

0:07:53.360 --> 0:07:56.480
<v Speaker 1>up so that he could get his henchmen to oh,

0:07:56.880 --> 0:08:00.520
<v Speaker 1>empty the pool into the document's room, that he had

0:08:00.600 --> 0:08:02.240
<v Speaker 1>enough of the heads up so that he could get

0:08:02.280 --> 0:08:05.600
<v Speaker 1>his henchmen to like move documents around and move them

0:08:05.640 --> 0:08:09.480
<v Speaker 1>from like house to house. What I'm saying is not

0:08:09.720 --> 0:08:13.760
<v Speaker 1>that the raids shouldn't go the way that they do,

0:08:13.840 --> 0:08:17.080
<v Speaker 1>but let's have the same energy for everybody, is what

0:08:17.160 --> 0:08:22.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying, Because when we look at the danger that

0:08:22.480 --> 0:08:27.640
<v Speaker 1>people cause, Donald Trump is an existential threat to our

0:08:27.720 --> 0:08:32.840
<v Speaker 1>democracy and global world order. So you should probably come

0:08:32.880 --> 0:08:35.360
<v Speaker 1>at him with the same fucking energy that you would

0:08:35.400 --> 0:08:39.440
<v Speaker 1>a terrorist, right, or the same energy that you would

0:08:39.760 --> 0:08:43.480
<v Speaker 1>a black man. Right. Do you know what I'm saying, Like,

0:08:43.640 --> 0:08:46.520
<v Speaker 1>because they're one and the same in America's justice system, right,

0:08:46.600 --> 0:08:49.880
<v Speaker 1>Like you were just guilty by virtue of being born black.

0:08:50.480 --> 0:08:52.760
<v Speaker 1>And this is not to say anything about Diddy, because

0:08:52.760 --> 0:08:55.240
<v Speaker 1>I do believe that he is absolutely guilty. But what

0:08:55.280 --> 0:08:58.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying is give everyone the same fucking energy, right,

0:08:59.280 --> 0:09:02.760
<v Speaker 1>give everyone the same energy and showcase the threat that

0:09:02.880 --> 0:09:09.680
<v Speaker 1>all people that you're investigating have. Right. And So when

0:09:09.679 --> 0:09:13.320
<v Speaker 1>I saw you know, this split screen in my mind

0:09:13.640 --> 0:09:18.160
<v Speaker 1>of like what happened at mar A Lago and what happened,

0:09:18.559 --> 0:09:21.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, in Diddy's homes, Like, I was just like,

0:09:22.520 --> 0:09:25.520
<v Speaker 1>It's like, what else can you say besides outdone? What

0:09:25.600 --> 0:09:29.640
<v Speaker 1>else can you say? Right? But it was just ridiculous

0:09:30.320 --> 0:09:32.760
<v Speaker 1>because I'm like, oh, do we really think that he

0:09:33.240 --> 0:09:37.120
<v Speaker 1>is Like did he you know, inside an insurrection? Do

0:09:37.160 --> 0:09:39.720
<v Speaker 1>you think that there may be armed people inside of

0:09:39.760 --> 0:09:41.920
<v Speaker 1>his play? Do you know? What I'm saying? Like, Donald

0:09:41.960 --> 0:09:45.520
<v Speaker 1>Trump is more of a threat and should be treated

0:09:45.640 --> 0:09:50.280
<v Speaker 1>as such, because if you want to not put politics

0:09:50.280 --> 0:09:55.080
<v Speaker 1>into every situation, then treat everybody that's under federal investigation

0:09:55.240 --> 0:09:59.880
<v Speaker 1>the same fucking way, with the same fucking energy. Right. So,

0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:03.640
<v Speaker 1>so Donald Trump is getting a sixty percent reduction in

0:10:03.720 --> 0:10:07.520
<v Speaker 1>his bond, do you do that for poor black and

0:10:07.559 --> 0:10:10.040
<v Speaker 1>brown people that are sent to rikers because they can't

0:10:10.400 --> 0:10:15.199
<v Speaker 1>afford their bail. No, you just send them to fucking

0:10:15.280 --> 0:10:18.520
<v Speaker 1>rikers and close the door, whether they are innocent or guilty.

0:10:19.080 --> 0:10:21.440
<v Speaker 1>If they can't come up with the money that's on them,

0:10:21.480 --> 0:10:25.000
<v Speaker 1>they're in prison in that fucking hellhole. By the way,

0:10:25.200 --> 0:10:27.760
<v Speaker 1>that was in the news this week because they have

0:10:28.160 --> 0:10:33.839
<v Speaker 1>over seven hundred lawsuits against rikers for sexual violence, assault,

0:10:34.280 --> 0:10:38.680
<v Speaker 1>battery and all of these things from people, particularly women

0:10:40.160 --> 0:10:46.240
<v Speaker 1>who were inside of the system and were abused by

0:10:46.320 --> 0:10:49.520
<v Speaker 1>the guards that were there. And New York is only

0:10:49.559 --> 0:10:54.360
<v Speaker 1>giving you a year upon your release to file suit,

0:10:55.360 --> 0:10:58.720
<v Speaker 1>So you don't really give a fuck honestly about the

0:10:58.800 --> 0:11:02.480
<v Speaker 1>trauma that was incurred by these women at the hands

0:11:02.520 --> 0:11:06.600
<v Speaker 1>of the state, because there's like you're not providing them

0:11:06.640 --> 0:11:14.199
<v Speaker 1>with the same statutory limitations as other heinous crimes. Nonetheless, folks,

0:11:14.320 --> 0:11:19.040
<v Speaker 1>I say all that to say that our systems just

0:11:19.160 --> 0:11:22.120
<v Speaker 1>work exactly how they were meant to work. And it's

0:11:22.240 --> 0:11:25.720
<v Speaker 1>just when it becomes so blatant is when I'm just

0:11:25.880 --> 0:11:29.960
<v Speaker 1>so like outdone, you know, as some days I'm just

0:11:30.000 --> 0:11:31.840
<v Speaker 1>like fucking lie to me, do you know what I'm saying?

0:11:31.920 --> 0:11:36.400
<v Speaker 1>Make like, make pretend that the justice system is actually

0:11:36.480 --> 0:11:40.240
<v Speaker 1>works equally for everyone instead of it being so overt

0:11:40.800 --> 0:11:45.319
<v Speaker 1>in its discrimination and preferential treatment for those that are wealthy,

0:11:45.480 --> 0:11:48.640
<v Speaker 1>white and straight right, like, give me a fucking break,

0:11:53.800 --> 0:12:00.360
<v Speaker 1>Which brings me to the now firing of Ronom mcdadel

0:12:00.600 --> 0:12:05.480
<v Speaker 1>from NBC News, given the entire revolt that happened with

0:12:05.800 --> 0:12:09.960
<v Speaker 1>the biggest stars on that network, beginning with Chuck Todd

0:12:10.080 --> 0:12:14.520
<v Speaker 1>and then went you know, to everyone else, Nicole Wallace,

0:12:15.280 --> 0:12:20.480
<v Speaker 1>Rachel Maddow, you know, Joy Reid and others. And here's

0:12:20.559 --> 0:12:25.800
<v Speaker 1>what I will say, which is that these news outlets

0:12:25.800 --> 0:12:28.720
<v Speaker 1>and now the stories are coming out to say, like

0:12:28.920 --> 0:12:32.439
<v Speaker 1>who was in charge of the hiring, who gave the okay?

0:12:33.040 --> 0:12:36.280
<v Speaker 1>And let's say there is no scapegoat. All of the

0:12:36.320 --> 0:12:41.079
<v Speaker 1>fucking people in the c suite courted Roni McDaniel, courted

0:12:41.320 --> 0:12:44.000
<v Speaker 1>the conservative base, and all of them signed off on

0:12:44.080 --> 0:12:47.000
<v Speaker 1>it thinking that it was a great idea because they

0:12:47.040 --> 0:12:51.280
<v Speaker 1>have no scruples, they have no fucking morals, and journalism

0:12:51.400 --> 0:12:54.880
<v Speaker 1>is dead. And for whatever fucking reason why mainstream media

0:12:54.920 --> 0:12:57.280
<v Speaker 1>can't get it through their thick fucking skulls that the

0:12:57.320 --> 0:13:00.480
<v Speaker 1>people that watch Fox are not coming to MF NBC.

0:13:00.600 --> 0:13:03.600
<v Speaker 1>They're not coming to NBC News because you are the

0:13:03.720 --> 0:13:07.400
<v Speaker 1>devil to them, right, as evidence by all of the

0:13:07.440 --> 0:13:10.959
<v Speaker 1>people that go on Fox to lament your liberal networks.

0:13:11.080 --> 0:13:13.760
<v Speaker 1>So you think by bringing in a fucking election denier

0:13:14.000 --> 0:13:16.840
<v Speaker 1>and somebody that applauded January sixth and carried the water

0:13:16.880 --> 0:13:19.760
<v Speaker 1>for Donald Trump to the extent that she changed her

0:13:19.840 --> 0:13:23.840
<v Speaker 1>fucking name because he didn't like it, that you think

0:13:23.880 --> 0:13:28.360
<v Speaker 1>that somehow this star and I use that with fucking

0:13:28.480 --> 0:13:31.680
<v Speaker 1>quotation marks that he got rid of so that he

0:13:31.679 --> 0:13:34.400
<v Speaker 1>could put his daughter in place to turn the RNC

0:13:34.559 --> 0:13:37.840
<v Speaker 1>into his own piggybank, that she was gonna draw in views.

0:13:38.360 --> 0:13:43.400
<v Speaker 1>Miss me with it, like, it's so fucking stupid. It's

0:13:43.440 --> 0:13:48.280
<v Speaker 1>such a poor decision. And that's what mainstream media does.

0:13:48.559 --> 0:13:52.080
<v Speaker 1>It's just make one poor decision after the next, over

0:13:52.120 --> 0:13:56.680
<v Speaker 1>and over and over a fucking again. And this is why,

0:13:57.240 --> 0:13:59.720
<v Speaker 1>like folks are always like in my comment section, people

0:13:59.760 --> 0:14:02.240
<v Speaker 1>who who are either new to following me or what

0:14:02.360 --> 0:14:04.640
<v Speaker 1>have you, and they're like, oh, you know, you should

0:14:04.679 --> 0:14:06.960
<v Speaker 1>have your own TV show, blah blah. I will never

0:14:07.000 --> 0:14:10.600
<v Speaker 1>have my own TV show on anybody's cable news outlet.

0:14:11.559 --> 0:14:15.640
<v Speaker 1>And why is that. Because I've seen behind the curtain,

0:14:16.120 --> 0:14:19.360
<v Speaker 1>I know what they're looking for, and namely, it ain't

0:14:19.400 --> 0:14:22.480
<v Speaker 1>somebody with my fucking complexion. They'd like to have maybe

0:14:22.600 --> 0:14:25.320
<v Speaker 1>one or two people on the payroll so that they

0:14:25.320 --> 0:14:27.720
<v Speaker 1>don't get called out as being racist. But if you

0:14:27.880 --> 0:14:31.880
<v Speaker 1>look and you see where the majority of people of

0:14:31.920 --> 0:14:36.440
<v Speaker 1>color are on that network, it's on the weekend, right,

0:14:37.080 --> 0:14:39.960
<v Speaker 1>so that the whole week until you get to joy

0:14:40.080 --> 0:14:45.000
<v Speaker 1>Read at seven pm is all white. And yes, they

0:14:45.000 --> 0:14:48.360
<v Speaker 1>will have the sprinkling of people of color that will

0:14:48.400 --> 0:14:54.080
<v Speaker 1>come in as unpaid labor, right, but do you think

0:14:54.120 --> 0:14:57.040
<v Speaker 1>that they're hiring anybody. Do you think that they're rolling

0:14:57.120 --> 0:15:00.640
<v Speaker 1>out large six figure salaries. Do you think that they're

0:15:00.680 --> 0:15:05.840
<v Speaker 1>giving anybody a show or a go. No, they don't, right,

0:15:05.920 --> 0:15:08.840
<v Speaker 1>because they don't invest in people of color, even though

0:15:09.080 --> 0:15:11.760
<v Speaker 1>that is the largest audience of people that watches. They

0:15:11.800 --> 0:15:15.480
<v Speaker 1>don't actually want that audience. Remember when, and maybe you

0:15:15.520 --> 0:15:18.480
<v Speaker 1>all don't remember this, but there was a time like

0:15:18.520 --> 0:15:22.520
<v Speaker 1>in the early nineties when all the rappers and frankly,

0:15:22.560 --> 0:15:24.640
<v Speaker 1>if you live in New York, this is just a staple,

0:15:24.720 --> 0:15:29.080
<v Speaker 1>but everyone was wearing Timberland, right, like Timbland boots Timberland

0:15:29.160 --> 0:15:33.200
<v Speaker 1>clothing blah blah, and then the fucking CEOs of Timbaland

0:15:33.240 --> 0:15:35.160
<v Speaker 1>came out and said that we don't want these black

0:15:35.160 --> 0:15:42.920
<v Speaker 1>people wearing our clothes. Right, Like you had an entire

0:15:43.040 --> 0:15:47.479
<v Speaker 1>market of people that made your shit fly and mainstream,

0:15:47.640 --> 0:15:49.280
<v Speaker 1>and then you come out and say that you don't

0:15:49.320 --> 0:15:53.520
<v Speaker 1>want these type of people wearing your clothes. Right, That's

0:15:53.560 --> 0:15:57.880
<v Speaker 1>basically what cable news does with black and brown commentators.

0:15:58.440 --> 0:16:00.680
<v Speaker 1>It's like and with black and with their black and

0:16:00.720 --> 0:16:04.440
<v Speaker 1>brown audience. You can watch us and give us ratings,

0:16:04.600 --> 0:16:07.840
<v Speaker 1>but like m we're not going to really cater to you.

0:16:08.600 --> 0:16:12.160
<v Speaker 1>And so it's always laughable to me when you hear

0:16:12.200 --> 0:16:16.640
<v Speaker 1>people talk about the liberal media. There is no liberal media, right,

0:16:16.800 --> 0:16:21.040
<v Speaker 1>Like there's media that doesn't lie to your face, right,

0:16:21.200 --> 0:16:22.920
<v Speaker 1>Like there are people that go on there that don't

0:16:22.960 --> 0:16:25.480
<v Speaker 1>lie to your face. But like you think that these

0:16:25.520 --> 0:16:30.600
<v Speaker 1>executives give a fuck, they absolutely don't. And they tell

0:16:30.640 --> 0:16:32.800
<v Speaker 1>you that by virtue of who they have on air,

0:16:33.360 --> 0:16:36.040
<v Speaker 1>and they tell you who they value by who they pay.

0:16:36.880 --> 0:16:38.600
<v Speaker 1>Now people will say to me, well why do you

0:16:38.720 --> 0:16:42.240
<v Speaker 1>go on Well, one, I don't make a living going

0:16:42.280 --> 0:16:45.080
<v Speaker 1>on TV. Again, I'm on paid, But why do I

0:16:45.160 --> 0:16:48.080
<v Speaker 1>go on because I have a message right that I

0:16:48.200 --> 0:16:51.640
<v Speaker 1>want to share with larger audiences. But I have become

0:16:52.480 --> 0:16:58.600
<v Speaker 1>very very particular about who shows I go on and

0:16:58.680 --> 0:17:02.360
<v Speaker 1>when I go on, And that is very different than

0:17:02.400 --> 0:17:05.840
<v Speaker 1>ten years ago. When I used to say yes to everything.

0:17:05.880 --> 0:17:08.000
<v Speaker 1>It didn't matter if it was a holiday, it didn't matter,

0:17:08.240 --> 0:17:10.880
<v Speaker 1>if I already had plans. It didn't matter because I

0:17:11.080 --> 0:17:17.639
<v Speaker 1>was trying to chase the unicorn of contributorship right. And

0:17:17.680 --> 0:17:20.560
<v Speaker 1>then after a few years, when I realized it wasn't

0:17:20.600 --> 0:17:22.959
<v Speaker 1>ever happening, but I saw all of these other people

0:17:23.160 --> 0:17:27.320
<v Speaker 1>who were white around me getting these really lucrative deals,

0:17:27.600 --> 0:17:31.399
<v Speaker 1>I was like, well, okay, I'm going to do my

0:17:31.440 --> 0:17:34.560
<v Speaker 1>own shit, which is why I have my own shows.

0:17:34.800 --> 0:17:38.760
<v Speaker 1>But anytime that I think that it is important to get,

0:17:38.920 --> 0:17:41.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, a bigger audience, or just you know, tell

0:17:41.720 --> 0:17:45.600
<v Speaker 1>the truth, or I'm invited on a colleague show somebody

0:17:45.640 --> 0:17:48.359
<v Speaker 1>whose voice I value, then you will see me on

0:17:49.040 --> 0:17:50.879
<v Speaker 1>do you know what I'm saying? But it used to

0:17:50.920 --> 0:17:54.440
<v Speaker 1>be an everyday, all day type of it didn't matter

0:17:54.480 --> 0:17:56.520
<v Speaker 1>when I was asked. I was always going to tap

0:17:56.600 --> 0:17:59.680
<v Speaker 1>dance and say the yes, right, because that's how they

0:17:59.720 --> 0:18:04.000
<v Speaker 1>get you into thinking that if you say no, then

0:18:04.040 --> 0:18:07.040
<v Speaker 1>they won't ask you again, and then that elusive deal

0:18:07.080 --> 0:18:11.040
<v Speaker 1>will never come. Well it never comes, you know for

0:18:11.320 --> 0:18:14.280
<v Speaker 1>a majority of people. And then when you do get

0:18:14.320 --> 0:18:19.280
<v Speaker 1>a deal or a show and you don't follow along

0:18:19.440 --> 0:18:22.919
<v Speaker 1>and you don't you know, go along with the flow,

0:18:23.240 --> 0:18:26.960
<v Speaker 1>you get fired, right and no one comes to your aid.

0:18:27.720 --> 0:18:31.439
<v Speaker 1>Let's just say that, so you know, Cable News. This

0:18:31.600 --> 0:18:34.439
<v Speaker 1>is why I say I am so appreciative, particularly of

0:18:34.480 --> 0:18:38.480
<v Speaker 1>the Patreon supporters. You all have allowed me to continue

0:18:38.520 --> 0:18:41.800
<v Speaker 1>to do my work independently, to do my work and

0:18:42.640 --> 0:18:45.480
<v Speaker 1>be able to know that, like I can make a

0:18:45.520 --> 0:18:49.439
<v Speaker 1>living right saying what I want to say, how I

0:18:49.480 --> 0:18:51.400
<v Speaker 1>want to say it, and where I want to say it.

0:18:51.520 --> 0:18:55.360
<v Speaker 1>And I have learned a lot from this media business.

0:18:55.400 --> 0:18:57.560
<v Speaker 1>And it's not all good, do you know what I'm saying,

0:18:57.640 --> 0:19:01.760
<v Speaker 1>But like it's necessary not in order to continue to

0:19:01.800 --> 0:19:03.720
<v Speaker 1>do what you do, but do it in a way

0:19:04.119 --> 0:19:07.560
<v Speaker 1>that makes sense for you. And the decisions that they

0:19:07.640 --> 0:19:10.920
<v Speaker 1>make will continue to raise eyebrows because they don't care

0:19:11.160 --> 0:19:21.000
<v Speaker 1>about the audience that watches these shows. And lastly, folks,

0:19:21.000 --> 0:19:25.000
<v Speaker 1>I will close out with the collapse of the Francis

0:19:25.000 --> 0:19:30.760
<v Speaker 1>Scott key Bridge in Baltimore and the tragedy of the

0:19:30.800 --> 0:19:35.600
<v Speaker 1>lives lost of the workers who you know were on

0:19:35.640 --> 0:19:39.199
<v Speaker 1>that bridge. And I really want to talk about again

0:19:39.600 --> 0:19:44.040
<v Speaker 1>the racism and just like the blatant racism that Brandon

0:19:44.119 --> 0:19:48.440
<v Speaker 1>Scott and Wesmore Wesmore being the governor of Maryland, brand

0:19:48.440 --> 0:19:52.840
<v Speaker 1>and Scott being the mayor of Baltimore received on social

0:19:52.880 --> 0:19:57.239
<v Speaker 1>media by MAGA and on their bullshit networks, referring to

0:19:57.280 --> 0:20:00.399
<v Speaker 1>them as the DEI mayor and governor. And it's it's like,

0:20:01.119 --> 0:20:06.560
<v Speaker 1>I appreciate black Twitter so fucking much from snatching DEI

0:20:07.680 --> 0:20:11.280
<v Speaker 1>that term and turning it into a fucking joke and

0:20:11.400 --> 0:20:16.480
<v Speaker 1>exactly making it very clear what these motherfuckers mean when

0:20:16.520 --> 0:20:18.920
<v Speaker 1>they say DEI, which is that they want to say

0:20:18.960 --> 0:20:21.080
<v Speaker 1>the N word. Do you know what I'm saying, Like

0:20:21.480 --> 0:20:25.359
<v Speaker 1>that's their new word, it's woke or it's dei, But

0:20:25.480 --> 0:20:27.439
<v Speaker 1>what they want to say is the N word. We

0:20:27.480 --> 0:20:30.400
<v Speaker 1>don't want any N words here, right, That's basically what

0:20:30.800 --> 0:20:34.760
<v Speaker 1>the governor of Alabama said, Oh, no DEI over here

0:20:34.800 --> 0:20:38.639
<v Speaker 1>in Idaho, right, no N words over here? And do

0:20:38.680 --> 0:20:41.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, like when people show you who they are,

0:20:41.680 --> 0:20:44.720
<v Speaker 1>like fucking believe them and stop pretending that you don't

0:20:44.720 --> 0:20:48.880
<v Speaker 1>know where these people's heart and minds lie. And so

0:20:49.080 --> 0:20:51.639
<v Speaker 1>thank god for black Twitter, and thank god for Brandon

0:20:51.680 --> 0:20:56.439
<v Speaker 1>Scott who doesn't really care about the hate. Right. Do

0:20:56.480 --> 0:20:58.960
<v Speaker 1>you know what I'm saying, Like, Black people are going

0:20:59.000 --> 0:21:03.120
<v Speaker 1>to continue to ache fucking regardless. We're going to continue

0:21:03.160 --> 0:21:08.480
<v Speaker 1>to be excellent and beautiful and successful and brilliant regardless.

0:21:08.560 --> 0:21:10.920
<v Speaker 1>Do you know why? Because it's in our DNA. Because

0:21:10.920 --> 0:21:15.400
<v Speaker 1>we always have been. Because for four hundred plus years, right,

0:21:16.160 --> 0:21:19.840
<v Speaker 1>white people in this country have been trying to erase us,

0:21:20.119 --> 0:21:25.480
<v Speaker 1>replace us, right, subjugate us, abuse us, kill us right,

0:21:25.680 --> 0:21:27.720
<v Speaker 1>whether it be with their food, with their guns, with

0:21:27.960 --> 0:21:34.320
<v Speaker 1>whatever it is, and we still fucking rise. So whether

0:21:34.359 --> 0:21:37.879
<v Speaker 1>it's DEI today and woke tomorrow, whatever it's going to be,

0:21:38.240 --> 0:21:42.280
<v Speaker 1>we will still fucking be here. And that's why y'all pissed, right,

0:21:42.640 --> 0:21:51.679
<v Speaker 1>get over it. That's my anger note for it today.

0:21:53.080 --> 0:21:57.000
<v Speaker 1>That is it for me today. Dear friends on wogay

0:21:57.240 --> 0:21:59.800

<v Speaker 1>for giving me the opportunity to continue to do what

0:22:19.960 --> 0:22:22.680
<v Speaker 1>I enjoy for the most part, because politics is really

0:22:22.680 --> 0:22:25.400
<v Speaker 1>wearing on my soul that I enjoy connecting with all

0:22:25.440 --> 0:22:29.480
<v Speaker 1>of you on a regular basis and trying to make

0:22:29.560 --> 0:22:33.240
<v Speaker 1>sense of this healthscape that we are in. But we
