Speaker 1: welcome to this episode of that. It's a lot going on.
Speaker 1: It's a lot going on in the world. Um, this
Speaker 1: was very interesting that we're talking about my weekend this week.
Speaker 1: Where did I go? Oh? I went to Washington, d C.
Speaker 1: And I worked at the DC Comedy Loves. And before
Speaker 1: we go any further, I just want to take my
Speaker 1: hat off and say, Washington, d C. I absolutely love you.
Speaker 1: That is an audience that comes to a comedy club
Speaker 1: to hear jokes, have a great time, no arguing over
Speaker 1: the checks, no drum, just a really good energy. And
Speaker 1: if I could follow the energy and take it to
Speaker 1: every city I go to, I promised you I would
Speaker 1: because they were fantastic. So thank you Beer Baron, staff, management,
Speaker 1: James Meg and everybody affiliated. And thank you to four
Speaker 1: wonderful sold out audiences. The first I was not even
Speaker 1: one percent, but they technically considered that sold out, but
Speaker 1: all the others sold out. I was gonna say, shoot,
Speaker 1: round up that sold out and amazing times. The new
Speaker 1: stuff is flyaing off the show. I couldnt wait to
Speaker 1: get this one hour special, and I'm hoping I can
Speaker 1: get tiffany hatters behind that. Charlottagne, the guy, and my
Speaker 1: boy who will be our leadoff story for tonight, my brother,
Speaker 1: our friend, the one and the only King of Yellow Springs,
Speaker 1: and the goat of comedy, Mr Dave Chapelle. So let's
Speaker 1: talk about this. So Dave was on SNL this week
Speaker 1: and I didn't see the full episode, but I saw
Speaker 1: the monologue. I saw the intro monologue, and can I
Speaker 1: just say, with what that man said, I think he
Speaker 1: proved a point. Put an exclamation on it, emphasize it,
Speaker 1: whatever you want to call it, and let everybody know
Speaker 1: you cannot cancel me. You can't cancel him. You can't
Speaker 1: because at the end of the day, his talent will
Speaker 1: always outweigh whatever is. Like you just you can't cancel him.
Speaker 1: He's honest. It would be different if he was actually
Speaker 1: doing something wrong, But this man is always speaking truth.
Speaker 1: He's being entertaining. It's it's almost like positivity, like it's
Speaker 1: it's a breath of fresh air that he brings to
Speaker 1: you when you know you watch this comedy. So you
Speaker 1: can't cancel that man. I'm totally in agreeing with you, Lauren.
Speaker 1: I did not watch the entire episode of Saying That Lad,
Speaker 1: which I do not watch the entire episodes of Satin
Speaker 1: in their Lack because they have not been funny to
Speaker 1: me in a very long time. But his monologue was
Speaker 1: spot on. You know what I loved about it is
Speaker 1: that he wasn't reading from a teleprompter. This is the
Speaker 1: true sign of a brilliant comedian. That it was coy
Speaker 1: and decisive, and it pushed, it poked a bear, but
Speaker 1: it didn't puncture the bear. And people heard what they
Speaker 1: wanted to hear and made it what they wanted it
Speaker 1: to be. But I never thought that he went out
Speaker 1: to no one person, no one, one culture, no one.
Speaker 1: But he pointed out facts that he made you open
Speaker 1: your ass to realize what they were doing and what
Speaker 1: they're trying to do. And I love this because if
Speaker 1: I could have called that one thing, I would have
Speaker 1: called that. They would that they could, but they can't,
Speaker 1: cause we ain't. Dave is probably one of the sharpest
Speaker 1: knaves in the drawer with the way he puts words together,
Speaker 1: because I'm just gonna say this publicly when he pulled
Speaker 1: that paper out in the very beginning and said, there
Speaker 1: are two words that you just do not put together,
Speaker 1: and that is the and use message to Yeah, I
Speaker 1: scream And I wasn't even at the movies. It was
Speaker 1: a lot of Yeah, he touched on a lot of
Speaker 1: truths and put some stuff out there. It was almost like, um,
Speaker 1: it was just it was engaging, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: because there were a lot of truths and a lot
Speaker 1: of layers to a lot of statements that he made.
Speaker 1: And I think in some cases that actually went over
Speaker 1: people's heads. But and that's exactly what it is on
Speaker 1: people are so shallow and so quick to run to
Speaker 1: the last that when they hear the truth, and when
Speaker 1: when it takes just the second to think about what
Speaker 1: somebody is saying, they would rather discarded people and that's
Speaker 1: this cancer culture. They're lazy. They I want to think
Speaker 1: that I want to work for what they want to
Speaker 1: just or needs to read in the headlines on on
Speaker 1: Instagram or on Twitter? Did y'all not hear my friends?
Speaker 1: My brother Dave that Twitter is not a real place.
Speaker 1: And I'm starting to really see two is like people
Speaker 1: hear what they want to hear, Like you hear that
Speaker 1: kind of growing up. But that's something like my parents
Speaker 1: used to tell me. It's like, you know, people hear
Speaker 1: what they want to hear. But nowadays it's like, like,
Speaker 1: how did you come to that conclusion? You know what
Speaker 1: I mean? Because he was getting backlash after the episode saying, oh,
Speaker 1: he's anti Semitic too, He's making all of these comments
Speaker 1: and you know he's part of the problem too, And
Speaker 1: I'm like, what did y'all here to come to this conclusion?
Speaker 1: Because that's not what happened. There's a Christmas song and
Speaker 1: should be listening to right now. It's called do you
Speaker 1: see what I See? Do you hear what I here?
Speaker 1: Because they do not I don't know that. I think
Speaker 1: people just frustrated and angry and looking for anything else
Speaker 1: that would ignite them. Because if you if I was
Speaker 1: the posted my son got a four rast scholarship to
Speaker 1: college and graduated high school with his associates degree, we
Speaker 1: might get four lights. If I posted my son called
Speaker 1: me all my name and he just hit somebody with
Speaker 1: a car and he's about to go shoot up at school, honey,
Speaker 1: we would get challenge a million views, a million lights.
Speaker 1: We did a post a positive video posting last week
Speaker 1: with me and my oldis two teenagers went to vote Coffett.
Speaker 1: We might have got five thousand views. But if I've
Speaker 1: been out there fighting and argue with my daughter, called
Speaker 1: each other names and my son Chad, we got a
Speaker 1: million views. I don't know why the world is so negative.
Speaker 1: Probably pause what we went through for the last before
Speaker 1: these last two years, four years and for the last
Speaker 1: four years the BS we was. We was introduced, not
Speaker 1: introduced to negativity and hate, but we was shoved in
Speaker 1: our face every single day. Look like it's trying to
Speaker 1: come back. Shoote I will tonight is what um? It
Speaker 1: is technically Tuesday, November UM And speaking of negativity, coming back.
Speaker 1: Donald Trump just announced that he's going to run again
Speaker 1: for president in UM. But speaking of negativity and hate,
Speaker 1: but m yeah, back to what you were saying, though,
Speaker 1: I think that just seeing you know, the m the
Speaker 1: monologue that Dave did and then seeing like the backlash
Speaker 1: she was getting for it, it's like people are looking
Speaker 1: to be angry these days, like they're looking to be angry,
Speaker 1: you know, and that's just not a good way to live.
Speaker 1: So I thank god that this man is who he
Speaker 1: is because it's going to teach a lot of young
Speaker 1: black men or or older black men even because to
Speaker 1: find your heartwork, girl, I'm going back to my wizard
Speaker 1: of Us. His courage, his heart, his brain allows him
Speaker 1: to flourish and on the public. From the public on
Speaker 1: the outside looking in, he might look like they're taking
Speaker 1: this or they're doing that, and they're saying horrible things.
Speaker 1: But we have been around this man. This man is
Speaker 1: walking peace. And walking peace to me is when you
Speaker 1: know who you are and you own it. I love
Speaker 1: that he owns that. Long when we were in his
Speaker 1: mixed company, that man is walking peace. M hm. Even
Speaker 1: the people around here, there's no chaos, there's no drama.
Speaker 1: He is protected by people who adore him, who honestly
Speaker 1: love him and are very overprotective of him, and I
Speaker 1: love that about him. So these these people are in
Speaker 1: the world where they polish is the that man is
Speaker 1: is impenegible. M you know, only want to have to
Speaker 1: um and speaking of black men getting a bad rep um,
Speaker 1: I want to talk about Kyrie Irving. Yeah, so I
Speaker 1: am glad that people are starting to come out and
Speaker 1: in support of him. I myself obviously do not UM
Speaker 1: condone any hate speech or anything like that, but it
Speaker 1: feels as though they I'm gonna use that in quotes today. UM,
Speaker 1: they said, who are they? Who are they? They are
Speaker 1: taking this situation UM to the extreme and trying to
Speaker 1: make an example out of Kyrie, and it's just unacceptable
Speaker 1: at this point. You know, he apologized, he said, I
Speaker 1: mean honestly, he tweeted out a link and it's interesting
Speaker 1: how he's getting all this backlash for this film that
Speaker 1: was created. He had nothing to do with the film.
Speaker 1: He didn't do any promotion of the film. All he
Speaker 1: did was tweeted out based on the title and the
Speaker 1: title set for him he Brews he Brews to Negros,
Speaker 1: which is an interesting title in and of itself and
Speaker 1: has a lot of layers, so I can understand the interest.
Speaker 1: Um should he have seen more context he was about, Sure,
Speaker 1: you can make that argument, but to take it this
Speaker 1: var to say he needs to do this six step
Speaker 1: program in order to come back to the NBA. It's
Speaker 1: too much your home standard that you wouldn't to other
Speaker 1: people that do this on a regular basis and actually
Speaker 1: make anti Semitic comments and actually make racist comments. They're
Speaker 1: not forced to do the same things that you're forcing
Speaker 1: this man to do. So I'm happy for Kyrie for
Speaker 1: standing tent tooes down like he always does, and he
Speaker 1: he knows who he is as a person. It's no
Speaker 1: different from he did what he did around the vaccine mandate.
Speaker 1: That was his truth, that's what he believed. He's still
Speaker 1: buy it. So okay though that was my motto. I
Speaker 1: ain't taking that ship. No, no, So I just think
Speaker 1: that it's a whack that they're trying to make this
Speaker 1: example out of him. I also think that it's not
Speaker 1: cool that some of his NBA brethren have not stood
Speaker 1: up for him the way that I feel like they
Speaker 1: should have. They did in the end, but not in
Speaker 1: the beginning, not much different from NFL when they didn't
Speaker 1: stand with Colin Kaepernick. Huh that part. But it's funny
Speaker 1: to me though, because if since you bring up the NFL,
Speaker 1: Kyrie is getting all this backlash. But where has been
Speaker 1: the bad press around where Brett farb did? Yeah, because
Speaker 1: that just dest have went away hunts it did it
Speaker 1: act like nothing happened. Brett far didn't get any backlash
Speaker 1: for stealing money from poor people, from people on welfare.
Speaker 1: They don't say, don't say stealing money, say say that,
Speaker 1: don't disrespect the six million dollars that he stold. Don't
Speaker 1: just create the number from from this program. I should say,
Speaker 1: not necessary. So it's just interesting to me the double standards,
Speaker 1: because nothing up into Brett Farve. He's fine, but y'all
Speaker 1: are literally raking Kyrie over the coals. So finish this
Speaker 1: something that I probably shouldn't say, but I'm gonna say
Speaker 1: it anyway because it's in my head. I think that
Speaker 1: because so many entertainers have succumbed to I have to apologize.
Speaker 1: I have to because I'm gonna lose this. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: then it has made it okay for them to say
Speaker 1: you have to do this because all these other people
Speaker 1: did it. So when one of us actually stands up
Speaker 1: for ourselves and say I'm not doing that, I don't
Speaker 1: care what you're taking, and I think that that really
Speaker 1: makes them dishovel on. I think that shakes them up
Speaker 1: to a point where, oh my god, we got one
Speaker 1: that's standing up for itself. You know that we were
Speaker 1: the good trouble in words, we were a good trouble
Speaker 1: niggas back then because we had like Net Turner, we
Speaker 1: wasn't we wasn't having it. And I think that everybody
Speaker 1: who because everybody has had to so many of them
Speaker 1: have had to apologize in order to hold onto what
Speaker 1: they had. It makes it makes us look weak as
Speaker 1: black men. And I'm right now I'm speaking from a
Speaker 1: black man's perspective. It makes us look weak as black me.
Speaker 1: It does because fuck you is what I will tell
Speaker 1: and ge you work with me. But I didn't even
Speaker 1: know no level like that. I ain't got money like that.
Speaker 1: I'm not. But when I'm telling you, I'm I'm walking
Speaker 1: peace like Dave because guess what, You're not going to
Speaker 1: disturb my group. I'm trying to survive and and be
Speaker 1: happy with my family. Y'all want to do everything. I
Speaker 1: thought that was horrible. And I love the fact that
Speaker 1: Harry Irvan know exactly what you said, know who he
Speaker 1: is and standing up for himself and so many others
Speaker 1: others will see this and hopefully follow suit. Sad party
Speaker 1: is we want too many of us, too many of us, won't.
Speaker 1: We were scared now, I mean, And what you're describing
Speaker 1: is early boockbreaking. That's what that is. That's exactly what
Speaker 1: you're describing. And because of that, I ain't broke a
Speaker 1: bucket quite, but it was go ingrained in us for
Speaker 1: so many years that you know, we succumb to that
Speaker 1: and don't understand the power that we do have. Kyrie
Speaker 1: understands the power that he has, so I'm gonna saying
Speaker 1: more power to him. And I think that it's great
Speaker 1: that he's standing on what he believes in and what
Speaker 1: he knows within himself. So yeah, uh, and hats off
Speaker 1: from pressed for you, from my heart, from us over
Speaker 1: here in my heart. I can't speak for the whole network,
Speaker 1: but from us over here, Kyrie Iran, if you ever
Speaker 1: hear this, baby, we support you, and I see it.
Speaker 1: I see it, and I respect it and thank you
Speaker 1: for somebody. So we're gonna move on here. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: when you say that movie because we were talking about
Speaker 1: that he Brews the Negroes. Uh the movie, uh, groundbreaking
Speaker 1: Black Panther two came out. It's making all the money.
Speaker 1: He's breaking box office records and all that. So good.
Speaker 1: I haven't seen this yet, but I'm going to see it.
Speaker 1: I donna say. I'm embarrassed because I haven't seen it
Speaker 1: yet either. It's been in uh crazy two weeks. But yes,
Speaker 1: I need to go see it this weekend for sure
Speaker 1: and contribute to those box office dollars. So yeah, I
Speaker 1: haven't seen it because I was working anything Like. I
Speaker 1: put it out because I want to. I take more
Speaker 1: work just bringing out he she rebooking at gmail dot com.
Speaker 1: It's Lauren Hogan. She's right there, famous plugged on my heart.
Speaker 1: He loved his fameless plug. But officially a week after
Speaker 1: seven days after the midterm elections, So we gotta do
Speaker 1: a quick analysis in our laugh and learned way and
Speaker 1: very leg laws who let me let me get my
Speaker 1: celebrations in first carry leg laws. Whoo uh nerve Arizona. Yes,
Speaker 1: this thing lost? Yeah, who else lost. Who else lost? Um?
Speaker 1: Blake masters lost? Yeah, every baby. Let me tell you something.
Speaker 1: Uh and then they they're having a runoff in Georgia
Speaker 1: between war Knock and herschel Walkers. Let me tell you
Speaker 1: my conspiracy theory down every long before you give you
Speaker 1: a very analytic because that's your See you know all
Speaker 1: about Georgia state, the state of Georgia. L I think
Speaker 1: that well, we know for a fact that the white
Speaker 1: foster was just using him, the people just using him
Speaker 1: for a pond to get the control of the Senate.
Speaker 1: But since the Democrats that would be us have kept
Speaker 1: control of the Senate or took control of the Senate,
Speaker 1: that he is no longer needed. He will be discarded
Speaker 1: like garbage. I cannot wait to see because he has
Speaker 1: embarrassed and live in the hell out of them. I
Speaker 1: cannot wait to see on how they dismantled this man
Speaker 1: publicly because they are going to pull the royal from
Speaker 1: up under him. We see it. I'm sure he does too,
Speaker 1: because his purpose is gone there he he ain't got
Speaker 1: no weight. So um, a couple of things about Georgia.
Speaker 1: One UM, I really want to give the finger to
Speaker 1: Georgia for letting um my good spellman says Stacey Abrams down.
Speaker 1: Um and my specifically, I'm giving my finger two white
Speaker 1: men because that's who did not vote for her. I
Speaker 1: do want to say publicly that we are not about
Speaker 1: to blame black men for the reason why Stacy lost.
Speaker 1: We are not blaming black women because we showed up,
Speaker 1: we showed out and made sure to support our sis.
Speaker 1: It was the white men that did not vote for
Speaker 1: Stacy that voted to re elect Brian Kemp. Now, what
Speaker 1: I will say is interesting overall, before I continue in Georgia,
Speaker 1: I think about this election is it seems like people
Speaker 1: are starting to care more. And I say that because
Speaker 1: in a lot of instance, for instance, going back to Georgia,
Speaker 1: a lot of people voted for Raphael Warnock but didn't
Speaker 1: also vote for Stacy. So the whole idea of voting
Speaker 1: down the ballot seems to be changing. And people are
Speaker 1: actually starting to research a candidates. People are really trying
Speaker 1: to exercise their right to vote and understanding that their
Speaker 1: vote matters, so they're really voting who they think are
Speaker 1: going to be effective. So seeing that, overall, I would say,
Speaker 1: was a pleasant surprise. And I agree with the point
Speaker 1: of quite a sexist statement, young lady. Why was it
Speaker 1: a sexist statement? Not on your behalf, but do you
Speaker 1: say that they were going they voted for Warknock, but
Speaker 1: not for Abrams, but mostly white men, they voted for war.
Speaker 1: Even if the white being they voted for Warknock that
Speaker 1: they totally didn't agree with him and just didn't want
Speaker 1: herschel Walk. They voted for him because he's a man. Girl,
Speaker 1: this country is still crazy sexist. Oh d percent, I
Speaker 1: agree with you on that front. And not only is
Speaker 1: Stacy a woman, she's a black woman. So smart leave
Speaker 1: that there. But so I'm very upset that Stacy didn't win. Um.
Speaker 1: But to your point, I think that you know, herschel Walk,
Speaker 1: he was definitely upon they realized. I think that Republicans
Speaker 1: said we just need somebody black, and we need somebody
Speaker 1: that's gonna and I hate to say this term, but
Speaker 1: we need somebody that's gonna coon for us, and that's
Speaker 1: exactly what he does for them. So he did that,
Speaker 1: and we all know that herschel Walker is a terrible candidate. Honestly,
Speaker 1: I saw a post today from Shaun King saying that
Speaker 1: he thinks that herschel Walker suffers from CTE, which would
Speaker 1: honestly make a lot of sense. Oh that's the football
Speaker 1: injury thing right, Yes, it's head trun So it would
Speaker 1: make sense because some of the things that we've heard
Speaker 1: him say are absolutely ludicrous and it's like he's a
Speaker 1: space case. So together we can't so Doanty's because he
Speaker 1: got a whole bunch of r around here. So yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, I mean herschel Walker is also not ugly.
Speaker 1: I think he's a good looking black man, so he's
Speaker 1: not ugly, and you know, ex football players got money,
Speaker 1: he's big burley. You know, he's probably a lot of
Speaker 1: women's fantasies. But at the end of the day, is
Speaker 1: he actually gonna be effective? No, he's upawn. So I
Speaker 1: think that now that we've officially retained control of the Senate,
Speaker 1: that those one point nine million people that voted for
Speaker 1: herschel Walker are not going to show up and vote
Speaker 1: for him a second time. I don't even know if
Speaker 1: that many people are gonna actually show up and you know,
Speaker 1: exercise the right to vote in the runoff. I hope
Speaker 1: that they do, but I feel in my spirit I
Speaker 1: think that Raphael Wantock is definitely going to win re
Speaker 1: election at this point, UM, because herschel Walker is just
Speaker 1: not a viable candidate and people know that, and there's
Speaker 1: and if you really choose to vote for him a
Speaker 1: second time, really, your people that ain't my people. I
Speaker 1: told you the black men and the black women voted
Speaker 1: for Stacy. Those are my people. The mother one point
Speaker 1: nine million people that voted for herschel Walker, I don't
Speaker 1: know them. I know them so, but yeah, out I was.
Speaker 1: I was shocked that we be able to kick that
Speaker 1: we took the Senate. But I was happy, but I
Speaker 1: wish well shout out to John Fetterman for flipping Pennsylvania
Speaker 1: blue and Dr Oz lost. That's because everybody could smell
Speaker 1: that Dr Oz was a fraud. Well, he doesn't live
Speaker 1: in Pennsylvania. He lives in New Jersey. Let's just and
Speaker 1: I love that Dr Peterman saying I'll be better in
Speaker 1: January and you will still be a fraud. I said,
Speaker 1: come on, Fetterman, I said, oh, he's some sissy wrote that.
Speaker 1: I know. Oh that sounds like one of my lands.
Speaker 1: But Federman had a stroke. Uh. He really went through
Speaker 1: some trials and tribulations towards the end of his UM
Speaker 1: campaign and still came out still one, So kudos to him,
Speaker 1: and more so kudos for us a gain in the
Speaker 1: seat in the Senate, and the House still hasn't been decided.
Speaker 1: There's like four seats actually in California that are not four.
Speaker 1: I think it's actually maybe two now that are gonna
Speaker 1: decide who has control of the House. So we'll see
Speaker 1: how that goes. But we still have an opportunity to
Speaker 1: control the House as well. And I think that what
Speaker 1: made made Odds lose because I probably would have won
Speaker 1: even with that Trump endorsement everything, But when it seemed
Speaker 1: like he was making fun of fetterments, uh, stroke issues.
Speaker 1: You never know what what faith life holds for you.
Speaker 1: That was that was just that wasn't American ship. That
Speaker 1: was just ugly period. And I think people saw that
Speaker 1: it was like, yeah, that's petty, I can't go for you.
Speaker 1: I think he did his own self in with that well.
Speaker 1: I also think too, Um I saw a stat that's
Speaker 1: saying out of the hundred and fifty candidates that Trump endorsed,
Speaker 1: sixty of them actually got elected. So this whole red
Speaker 1: wave that Republicans were expecting to see it didn't happen. Um,
Speaker 1: I think this election showed that democracy matters, which I'm
Speaker 1: thankful for because I told you before election day, I
Speaker 1: think on this um on one of the episodes of
Speaker 1: Laugh and Learned, I was concerned. I was genuinely concerned
Speaker 1: about what the said of our world was going to
Speaker 1: be like. Luckily I lived in California, but we all
Speaker 1: know there are a lot of racist pockets in California.
Speaker 1: But thank god, we have a great governor who got
Speaker 1: re elected, Gavin Newson reelected and Alex Padilla was elected
Speaker 1: to Senate. And in addition to that, we just had
Speaker 1: Robert Luna officially outsdum Alex Vienneuela. So things are happening
Speaker 1: well in California. Karen Bass is also up by almost
Speaker 1: forty votes right now, so things in Los Angeles are
Speaker 1: going smoothly. But overall, um, there's a couple more seats
Speaker 1: left in California. That's gonna help de side of the House.
Speaker 1: I'm just happy on Saturday. M hmmm. So I'm gonna
Speaker 1: make sure you post pictures looking cute and conservative key
Speaker 1: words you pushing in Listen, we already already got to
Speaker 1: be covered up at the d n C. Must not
Speaker 1: be coming up at the brunch. Yes, yes, yes you must. Oh.
Speaker 1: I was very covering up in d C. I did
Speaker 1: the Good Day d C. I look like you just
Speaker 1: mean dress me still had two girls out, But yes,
Speaker 1: it was it was just you could they were peeking, okay,
Speaker 1: I see you, Okay, dress as I wore on the
Speaker 1: show Friday and say today was dangling like Christmas on
Speaker 1: him is on a tree. I had to give the
Speaker 1: people their money's worth. Uh. Speaking of the Senate, baby,
Speaker 1: when I tell you not grand Mr McConnell, dude, they
Speaker 1: jumping on you. That's your boy, Lauren, that's your boy.
Speaker 1: I don't know him. Um. I think that that's crazy
Speaker 1: that they are turning on Mitch McConnell. I never thought
Speaker 1: i'd see the day. Um, because I guess they were
Speaker 1: supposed to have a vote. I did this seker next
Speaker 1: week for Senate Minority, well Senate leader, I should say,
Speaker 1: because at the time they didn't know majority versus minority.
Speaker 1: But they all said that they need to postpone the vote,
Speaker 1: that it wasn't fair, and that possibly they need some
Speaker 1: new leadership in the GOP. And it's coming from Marco
Speaker 1: Rubio and Josh Holly and Ted Cruz. I never thought
Speaker 1: i'd see the day that they turned on Mitch McConnell
Speaker 1: and Blake Masters bashed him on Tucker Carlson's show on
Speaker 1: Fox News. I don't know if you saw that, but
Speaker 1: Blake Masters, who just lost the Senate race in Arizona,
Speaker 1: was bashing Mitch McConnell, which was so interesting for not
Speaker 1: providing funds more money than God, that's one thing. Secondly, Secondly,
Speaker 1: he's gonna be all right power a long time. You
Speaker 1: know a lot of secrets and where a lot of
Speaker 1: bodies is beer. But I love that they wanted you
Speaker 1: have a changing of the guards because I'm sick of
Speaker 1: all this old foolishness. We need some new, new blood,
Speaker 1: new people with different manses, younger, even if they're not
Speaker 1: completely um Democrat. At least, I hope they just fair
Speaker 1: people that we can get. But from what we're seeing,
Speaker 1: we're gonna get that ain't gonna be the case. I
Speaker 1: just love that they turned on his ass. But he
Speaker 1: holds a lot of secrets. I hope you get frustrated
Speaker 1: and started telling them, oh, that would be wonderful. Well,
Speaker 1: we did elect a young black man. He's the youngest
Speaker 1: black man and Senate. He took um Val Deming's place
Speaker 1: in Congress and she decided to run for Senate. Um
Speaker 1: but he's the youngest black man that has recently just
Speaker 1: been elected to Congress. So it's nice also to see
Speaker 1: those things because we've talked about it, like we gotta
Speaker 1: get him in young, you know before, you said, you know,
Speaker 1: like they got to get them before they get tarnished,
Speaker 1: and you know, because the opportunities and the door start
Speaker 1: to close on our faces versus you know, their white counterparts.
Speaker 1: So it's nice to see more of us in this space.
Speaker 1: And honestly, the first jen Z, right, huh, he's the
Speaker 1: very first gen Z politicians like the cup. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I think he's identifying as gen Z, I think, but
Speaker 1: I remember I'm saying on the news that he was
Speaker 1: the first gen Zer too. M hm. You know how
Speaker 1: I feel about that gen Zy, You feel it, But
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you they've been the gen gen Z
Speaker 1: in general. They're very creative and they show up and vote.
Speaker 1: Say whatever you want to say about them, but they
Speaker 1: show up and vote. Though, I gotta give it to him.
Speaker 1: Gen Z show up and vote, and they are very
Speaker 1: um confident or stern in their stances. They know who
Speaker 1: they are. They want to talk about gender and sexual identity,
Speaker 1: and they want to be free. And you know, it's
Speaker 1: almost like the seventies IL would say, where it was
Speaker 1: like Woodstock and you had hippies. I feel like this
Speaker 1: is a modern nine version, modernized version of that. The
Speaker 1: gen z Ars are, That's what That's what I really think.
Speaker 1: But they are very radical in terms of knowing that
Speaker 1: they need to exercise their vote, knowing their positions of
Speaker 1: who they can be, and being change agents. I gotta
Speaker 1: give that to them. Seventy hippies smoke pot, these New
Speaker 1: jenz smoking something good. Well, overall, I'm just I'm happy
Speaker 1: with how the elections are turning out. Like I said, no,
Speaker 1: some racist still haven't been decided, but this was a
Speaker 1: pleasant surprise and I'm very happy about it. You want
Speaker 1: to talk about your many petty state of Florida, Yeah, Rubio,
Speaker 1: he beat Valdemi's by double point double digits. I don't listen.
Speaker 1: Florida is out Florida and Slaorida. So and then they
Speaker 1: just showed you all that we ain't changing for nobody.
Speaker 1: So Florida and slaughter. Uh. Speaking of flor Or Live
Speaker 1: tonight right before we came on to start taking the
Speaker 1: ex president on one time president two times impeach Donald
Speaker 1: Trump through his head in the ring when he said
Speaker 1: he was but the party part where you said that
Speaker 1: was he was putting it on his head for race
Speaker 1: for president, a run for president. His fathers an't running
Speaker 1: for nothing. But but I I personally think that the
Speaker 1: first time, I believe that he would not win because
Speaker 1: I thought it was a joke. But now I think
Speaker 1: even the Gilps, the people who really see him for
Speaker 1: who he is and January six will never be a
Speaker 1: positive light on that side of history. I don't think
Speaker 1: he's gonna win. I think that they are embarrassed. I
Speaker 1: think that they see that he is a clown that
Speaker 1: cannot be controlled and the people that he had become
Speaker 1: and bear with that he was always in cahous with.
Speaker 1: And I think that they will and he just holds
Speaker 1: a lot of use for them. But they're going to
Speaker 1: secretly make sure that he does not become the president
Speaker 1: of the United States. Again. They can't putally do it,
Speaker 1: but they can probably do that whatever they do. So
Speaker 1: I think this is a couple of good things. I'll
Speaker 1: say so one Trump into Santists or at each other's throats,
Speaker 1: which I think is great. It's also very entertaining. Just
Speaker 1: want to throw that out there, all of the little
Speaker 1: childish nicknames that Trump comes up with for the Santists.
Speaker 1: But I'll also say this to Joe Biden the other
Speaker 1: day said that he wants to run for a second term.
Speaker 1: I only think that Joe Biden will be able to
Speaker 1: win a re election is if he runs against Donald Trump. Well,
Speaker 1: first of all, Joe Biden ain't gonna do it, but
Speaker 1: we're gonna be fair on both parties. He ain't gonna
Speaker 1: do that much running either. He about two hundred. He
Speaker 1: ain't gonna do that much. Well, yeah, I agree with
Speaker 1: that because I think that they ryan the Santis is
Speaker 1: that the young Trump for them heart. And let's talk
Speaker 1: about what he did to to help them win Florida
Speaker 1: because they needed like five seats to flip the House.
Speaker 1: Ron de Santists redrew district lines, voting lines and everything else.
Speaker 1: He redrew Florida to make sure the Democratic congressional seats
Speaker 1: ended up flipping to Republican seats. And that's exactly what
Speaker 1: he did. He delivered Florida. So he's only gained I think,
Speaker 1: more recognition and more notoriety in the GOP because he
Speaker 1: did it illegally. You know, he did it illegally, But
Speaker 1: the point is he did it, and the Supreme Court
Speaker 1: at the end of the day said, yeah, we don't
Speaker 1: really want to touch this. So he delivered Florida in
Speaker 1: more ways than one. So he's definitely a tender, very so.
Speaker 1: But I hope. I'm actually almost glad that Trump announced
Speaker 1: his presidency because the only way Joe Biden is gonna
Speaker 1: win again is if he runs against Trump, if he
Speaker 1: runs against any other candidate, I don't think Joe's belt
Speaker 1: win reelection. I don't I need come back one more time.
Speaker 1: He ain't gonna do it either, She'll Rotherwood when I
Speaker 1: watched it. We've watched the Ochelle Obama. I know Michelle
Speaker 1: Obama was not on our topic, but she did a great,
Speaker 1: pretty deep dope interview with Robert Roberts the other day.
Speaker 1: I just talked about all the food insince that they
Speaker 1: had to go through. Thank God that that woman's DNA
Speaker 1: is that of her ancestry, because you know, black folks,
Speaker 1: we some strong folks. Plays they just it was just
Speaker 1: ridiculous the way all the treatment that they had to
Speaker 1: go through. Oh, well she was um the White House. Well,
Speaker 1: I think it's also funny to the funniest thing that
Speaker 1: I've heard Barack Obama say about Michelle Obama because people
Speaker 1: were like, oh, Michelle should run to be president, like
Speaker 1: she would be a great politician. Barack said, Michelle's mouth
Speaker 1: is too reckless for her to be a politician. I
Speaker 1: love that, I said. She is truly a girl from Chicago.
Speaker 1: Love that outside you know, that's my city. I know.
Speaker 1: So overall, Lauren, I'm telling you, Lauren, I just I
Speaker 1: have no no faith in the political system right now
Speaker 1: because I don't know where we hit it. I do
Speaker 1: thank god that we do have Gavin Newsom and uh.
Speaker 1: And I saw that Nancy Pelosi made uh with what
Speaker 1: they have done, well scared this woman. I believe she's
Speaker 1: a two years old. They attacked her husband. I still
Speaker 1: don't understand how they breached and got a security got
Speaker 1: passed in her house. She's the second in command to
Speaker 1: run this country, and I think that they have spooked
Speaker 1: her because she said that after this, she made a
Speaker 1: statement that she don't know her future in the as
Speaker 1: being Speaker of the House because they just get that up. Well,
Speaker 1: I know you love Nancy. It's not disputing anything. I
Speaker 1: think Nancy has done a lot of great work. One
Speaker 1: of my favorite Nancy Pelosi moments is when she tore
Speaker 1: a Trump's stand of the Union speech. Um. But it
Speaker 1: goes back to what I said before. I think that
Speaker 1: we need to start getting younger blood in and as Democrats,
Speaker 1: just like we hold on to things until you we
Speaker 1: can't anymore. So I think it's tragic what happened to
Speaker 1: Paul Pelosi. Obviously it was unacceptable, but I also think
Speaker 1: it's time for Nancy to step down and let somebody
Speaker 1: else step into that space. But there you go. What
Speaker 1: did you say, long and go back as your frost
Speaker 1: for a second, No, I said, I think what happened
Speaker 1: to Paul Pelosi is tragic, But to your point, Nancy's
Speaker 1: eighty two years old. I think that it's time to
Speaker 1: let somebody else come in and be that change agent.
Speaker 1: Change agent. Excuse me, you know, as I think Democrats
Speaker 1: we not I'm gonna say we, but Democrats in these
Speaker 1: spaces hold on until they can't hold on anymore, and
Speaker 1: we need to start strategizing better to make sure that
Speaker 1: we have these younger people in places to be change
Speaker 1: agents and to actually enact something, rather than all of
Speaker 1: these old folks that are honestly out of touch. So
Speaker 1: her saying that you know, this event, while tragic, has
Speaker 1: made her reassess if she needs to be Speaker of
Speaker 1: the House. I think she's wold have been stepped down.
Speaker 1: I do. I think I need you to throw your
Speaker 1: head in the political ring now. My mouth is definitely
Speaker 1: too reckless for politics. Girl plays you'd be nice and
Speaker 1: all the time. Oh that's so nice of you. Thank you. Yes,
Speaker 1: give them that image of me. You look you can
Speaker 1: throw my checks where I supposed to say thanks. We

Speaker 1: do getting to what doing so many horrible, horrific things
Speaker 1: that's getting away with. Vote your present because the future
Speaker 1: looks bleak and we don't want to pass to become
Speaker 1: our future again, because I ain't picking that. I'll pick
Speaker 1: you up, but I ain't picking Okay, I'm picking shot.
Speaker 1: I will pick you up though after knocking you the
Speaker 1: funk out. Yes we can, I say that publicly. We

Speaker 1: up his base. The scariest party is if January six
Speaker 1: they got away with what they got away with because
Speaker 1: he publicly said he was like all of his friends
Speaker 1: released of all charges from January six. He didn't know
Speaker 1: them people, he wasn't even out there with them. But
