Cancel Culture Come Hold This L

de spirits. Think you want to revisit. So your first take a list of kill folks like your slip, all folks that we dig it. No kid do what you do, nokish do what you do? Can't no kids do what I do. Welcome to laugh and learned, lady, and you're joining me today. I'm here alone right now because of my partner and my co host, Lauren Hogan had something very important that she had to do today and she finishes in time, she will be chiming in with us here on the I G. But my camera man kinda

was here. Hey Kendoll, how are you doing? You see that he's he's straight. What's the word he says? Gender? Let me give my don't slope by should already welcome to laughing and we appreciate you coming in today. We got a lot of topics to cover. Uh, it's been in such a dynamic weeklies and gentlemen. I know you guys have seen me on on CNN and where else should I go? Hey dot, So thank you guys for joining me. Hello everyone. Then I put a face on

real quick. I got on my CNN hair. I just changed the look, but I have on my seeing in hair CNN seems to uh kind of like an old girl. What is that about? So let's talk about what's what's hot topics right now in the news. First of all, let me give a special shout out to Wendy Williams. We're hoping that she um recovers from whatever she's going through and finds her way back to her job because that's her job. I know they've got a lot of feelings filling ins for her, but that's still her job

and we'd like to see her come back to her job. Secondly, with all the drama that's going on in the social media right now, with the whole day Shape thing and all the back last let's start there. I UM was invited by Don Lemmons producers as well as Don Lemmon so was. I was invited by the Heel which was the host. Her name was Pamela Brown. They invited me to come on. I didn't. I didn't go seeking to

speak about this. I made a video last Saturday when I was in Atlanta, just talking about how I felt as a comedian, as a black person, and as a transgender person, on my issues and my views about it. Because I see the humor and a lot of things. I'm sorry that some of you all don't, but I heard Dave's message up under all of that as well. And for you all not to agree with me, that is absolutely fine. I'm not like the younger young lady. I'm not going to do anything to harm myself. I'm

gonna say that one more time. I'm not going to do anything to harm myself. Did you catch that? Okay, I'm just making sure that y'all heard what I see, because ain't shipped wrong with me. I just looked like this and this is laughing learn and I'm not gonna play with you at all. But Dave Chappelle is a coming in. He was doing his job. Some of us need to really need to get our pennies out of

a bunch. And for those employees and Netflix, I understand you're standing to your guns, but you also understand that when you do things, there are constant questions, consequences, and repercussions to your actions. So some things that you invite you have to be ready to do with it because I don't know, I don't know what you're looking for. But I heard the humanistic side of that story and

understand that y'all that what I heard. Maybe I'm different from other people, but what I heard was a man who has evolved because if you look at the jokes that he used to say about the trans community as opposed to now. Because because he was introduced to somebody that was transgender that was cool enough to have a conversation with, this person became his friend and they had

a conversation, which made it easier. So when he meets the next group of trans people or people that's different from his lifestyle, that's something that he may never encounter. What definitely did to me in my in my eyes, was made it easier for him to say, you know what, I met somebody that was like you. They were cool. Let me, give you a chance to have a conversation with you, maybe you will be just as cool as

the last one I met. But for all of this, this gruntled and pushed back to y'all getting that ain't what it is Kendall had. I had to grow on Kindle. I didn't force me on Kendall. Kendall had an option whether he wanted to stay or leave. But I grew on that nigga, So he ain't going nowhere. I'm like, I'm like a roach. I'm just gonna keep coming back.

But Daphne, if you listen to the story that they've talked about, Dave talked about the strength that his friend Daphne had because as a comic, I've bombed on stage before. What audience just did not like me? And you should saw me talking out the room with my tail between my legs and my head duck low. Daphne stayed. Daphne stayed and set in it and set through it. And that to me is a d n A that everybody does not have, because that, to me was strength and

power and a surety. And the only way we're ever going to fix this between us and them, the trans community and the gay community. In the straight community is understanding and acceptance, but the part of the understanding has to come from the gay community, and the acceptance has to come from the trans community. I see it what I said, because the six communities, that's what y'all say. The straight community, they're ready to receive it, not all of them, but the ones that are those are the

ones that we need to focus on. Stop focusing on the ones that don't want to deal with it. They just don't want to deal with You cannot make everybody like what you like, even if you straight or gay, or black or white. Everybody just don't like what you like. And that is fine, But we keep pushing for something else. We're gonna push ourselves right out the door. Oh, it's a conversation to be had, and we're gonna talk about it. And they're planning on doing a walkout on Wednesday with

just the and the black trans man. There's a black trans man that was fired for leaking information, leaking numbers at Netflix. This is a public record. I'm not telling you something I heard. I read this. He leaked. He identifies as a trans man. He got the job as a black transman. They hired him hear me. Listen, listened to this story. They hired him as a black trans man, but and but he he breached the contract and he didn't do his job. So now they fired him and

he's pregnant. See it's it identifies as a man, but he's tech biologically here woman, but he's pregnant. You broke the contract, and now you're screaming that they fired you because they were racist and they were sexist. They hired you for what you look like. They're firing you for not doing your job. Somebody needs to take accountability, and it's you. It's you. It's you because that was a

mistake that you made. The cancel culture has just got their ass handed to him because what Dave Chappelle actually did was stopped all this cancel culture bullshit by Netflix standing with him. Them giants standing with him said we're not pulling it. That opened the door and let the cancel culture. No, we're not having this ship no more.

Y'all need some therapy. The cancer culture is spoiled. They wanted too easy, because if y'all had to carry encyclopedias like we did back in the day, you wouldn't even take the time to do all this research, and Google keep telling you. Google is sending y'all all off like prune juice. Google is sending y'all off like prune juice, sends me off. Hit me when I tell you Google makes you lazy, and Google be laying because Google said

I'm worth seven hundred thousand. Somebody got six hundred thousand dollars of my money. I want to know who got me, kenn you got my money, Kendall got my money. Give me my money. Kill because they say I'm worth seven hundred thousand, and I just looked at my account and they know seven hundred thousands not in my account, not in Man, let me go on with some flame maths, and come on here, we're gonna talk about this today. Come on there, Cassie, come on, come out, come out.

I don't understand what is going on in our society right now, where people just going back and forth, everybody's angry with each other. It is ridiculous. It is utterly ridiculous. And y'all keep and and so let me tell you something. So many of trans organizations and who woo have reached out to me. I don't want to speak about that. I'm not here to fight. I don't want to push back. I'm not gonna argue with you because none of you all have asked me, not even before now with this jiversy,

but even before flame, what do you want to do? What? I Let me tell you what I want to do. I want to be an entertainer, comedian, host m C and Somebody's daddy. I'm planning on hosting the Oscar's, Grammy's, Emmy's, Tony's Aviens, Gavien's Glad Awards, all of But I never said or aspired to be the spokesperson for any LGBT or trans community. When there is a fight that I think that is near and dear to my heart, I'm gonna be on the battlefield, hold in my flag waving

waving up a time. But if it's not and it's unimportant to me personally, I'm not getting involved in that. That's never something that I wanted to be. You keep you cannot think that every time somebody who's part of a community gets a little lamb or a little shane, that that's naturally what they're supposed to do. I'm not responsible for speaking for anyone but myself. When I speak, and my children. It's not my job to raise you or your kids. That is not my job. So I

don't even know what you all are looking for. I never wanted to do that, and I'm not being irresponsible. I in fact, I think I'm being very responsible for not saying that I am the spokesperson for the community, because that's not a job that I ever wanted. They have girls out here that want those jobs, that are doing those jobs. They have Soria Saint Clair in in New Orleans. They have Valerie Spencer right here in California. They have um, um who else. I always mentioned Valerie

Spencer sa Tatiana Molten in Chicago. I don't want that job. They have girls that can go to the table, that are intelligent, informed trans women all day every day that see the entire world. They don't see the world just from the trans experience. They see the world because they have been somebody's child and sister and brother at some

point in time, so they see the whole world. So those are the ones that I always that I've given their names to see and then to have a town hall with, because they're fair and they're informed, and they come into the table with an open form, with open hands and say, hey, this is the conversation that we're going to have, not no argument, disgrunted men talking over people's heads, using terminology that no one's understands. So yeah,

I'm sorry about that fame. They had a problem with you, and when they still have a problem with me, they will always have a problem with me because I danced to my beat. I don't dance to anyone else's beat, and that is what I preach on my platform. If you're dancing to your own beat, you ain't got to worry about what no other person is dancing to because you can't hear that beat anyway. And that ain't my calling and it's not a calling that I want, uh,

And that's what people should do. Put your head on a swivel and follow the world. And I'm not bashing anybody else. They have other girls out here that speaking for the community and speaking on behalf of the community. I don't always agree with everything that they say, but that's not for me. That's that that that's the that's

their arena. My arena is the comedy arena and entertainment, and but this arena happens to be personal because I'm black, I'm trans and I'm a comic, so I fit in all three of these criterias, and all that y'all doing is just the hypocrisy of it all. Because I heard Dave Chappelle speak of his friend, not that because she was white, not because she was transgender, not even because she was a comic, but she became his friend, and the respect was He always refers to Daphane, May she

rest in peace as she and as his friend. And the joke, the joke about her bombing for forty five minutes, that was funny. Even though she didn't she bombed for forty five minutes, he still accepted her, He still embraced her. I know way less of a man and less of a comics that if you don't prove yourself the first time they have, they will discard you and never work with you again until you get it together. He allowed her the opportunity to say, every time I come to

the Bay Area, you're gonna open for me. Y'all missed all of that. Y'all missed all of that, so busy, only want to hear what you want to hear. He destroyed that you community talking about space Jews. He annihilated the Caucasian community funnily, funnily, and nobody is in the uproar, and nobody has their pennies in a bunch but us. He talked about black folks. He nigga, nigga, nigga every chance he got, and we laughed. I'm telling you right now,

it is. It is ridiculous, and it is scary to think that we are in a place to where we can't even come to a boardroom table and have grown up conversation to make some resolve to some real issues that's happening here in this country. But thank you Dave Chappelle for opening up the the the door to finally cancel the cancel culture because they have some playing We're gonna cancel you. You can't. I ain't even got there yet. That only works if you're there. I ain't got there yet.

He also said, when her daughter is old enough, exactly, he made a trust fund for her daughter. He looking, he did everything perfectly to me as a friend at something. And this young lady, I don't know what her issues was. I don't want you know. And I said on there that she was bullied by the trans community, and she was, but I don't even want to think that that's what's

what it was that made her off herself. Now, because when when when I listened to it, because I've watched the special four times, I was trying to see what I was missing. But when he said that she sat through at the bombing on stage for forty five minutes on that plateau, and she stayed the whole time and then hung out with them, her constitution was strong. Whatever else she had going on, I don't know, but her DNA was strong. But now the victims have turned into

the bullies. And if you don't believe that, I can show you the screenshots whether you all have threatened me at my life and you all have threatened my children's lives. But I promise you I'm not what you think. I'm not like that. That ain't my constitution at my DNA, because not only do I know Pookie ray d them, I used to beat him niggas and I slept with all of them too. No, but I agree with you. I agree with you on everything about a Chappelle. He

brought us to the table. Now the whole world is having a conversation that needs to be had. You know, you know what what what? What hurts Cassie is that we can't come to a common ground to try to fix this. It's not for me, you know, they're saying, well, flame you speaking that. They're asking me my opinion because I'm a comedian. They're not asking me my opinion because I'm transgender. They're asking me my companion because I am

a comedian and transgender. Because it's any other transgender women out here that could speak the language that the trans community wants them to speak, and we'll do it happily. That ain't who I am. You will never change me. I live my life for me and my children. And you said what needed to be said. I don't think you need to say anything else. I mean, as long as they're inviting you to the table, you're speaking for your life and for your experiences. You're not speaking for

the whole community. You can't speak. You can't live my truth, and I can't live your truth and have to live our own truth. The scariest party is they're not even angry at that because I'm speaking. They're angry because they're not speaking. That's what they're mad about, because it's me, Because it's me. Just stop being angry and say whatever its the same day. Need to quit being angry and just speak when they have a chance, and just be honored at the fact that you're even having a chance

to speak, and just stop being angry. Can we all just get along at the end of the day, It's like we're human. Come on, Rodney, can we all just get along it We're human. I want to give a shout out to UH Secretary of State UM Colin Powell. He passed away. Uh, it's so many different stories. He did have underlying issues, but they said it was COVID related issues. They didn't say that he had COVID. They said was COVID related issues. But he was. He was

double vaccinated. So I don't know. He eight eighty four years old. Yes, he lived a great life and uh he was. He was very accomplished in his life. He was a Republican, but he was very accomplished. I think he didn't he monch with King and he was in part of all of that era and everything. I'm not positive, but I think so. I think. And he will be missed, yes, T t J. And he will be missed because he was a He was a voice for our community as well, so yep, but thank you for enjoying keeping me in,

I mean, including me in the conversation. Of course, welcome him and UH con the Lisa Rice would probably be the only true Republicans that I would evo it out of my UM party far. But again, both sides of the I loved him and respected him. It's because he didn't change his dialogue. He was hypo critical of Trump. He came out and reported bringing UH made a statement and he said that I'm going with with Paul. Uh. Paul has already talked to me. He was respected for

standing in his own truth. So the people who can't respect you for standing in your own truth, I have to say, shame on those folks. Shame on those folks. Yeah, he Dan hit it on the head, on the head of when she said Mr Powell stood in his truth. You stand in your truth. And that's the issue that they have. And Dan hit it on the head I'm sitting on I'm sitting on my truth and my head right now. Though. See, and this is what I'm saying,

this is how Dave came. Dave came in it fun. Yes, the delivery was bold, but then when you close it off, with a funny or with a joke over a punchline. It just makes it easier for people to receive, or it should make it easier for people to receive. But if you're already angry, you won't receive nothing but anger

and bitterness because you came in angry ysolutely. Yeah, absolutely, and and and you know what, It's funny because even even with some of the people pointing their fingers at you, you have still circulated like to be an authority or speak, but they thought out you and I'm not. You know, it just sounds like a bad, mean girls clip, you know what I mean. And it just that makes me sad because now if they come to the table, they're not going to even have for me, a biological woman.

And here I was happy because I thought they were calling me six because I thought they're calling me there, and until Cassie told me not call me that they're not. They're not calling I'm like, what the hell going on around here? You know? So, I just every fight's not gonna band for your personalized agenda. You should and expect that because you don't send for everybody else's agenda. But you should have skills in the heart of negotiations and compromise,

but I don't know what's going on. And and and with the employees doing the walk out, I understand standing for something. But to the trans, to the black trans man that they fired because he breached the contract, or he he released some documents that he wasn't supposed to, you can't have it those ways. You can't play the they hired you black and trans. But and now you're pregnant. But you want to stand for something, and I appreciate that. I applaud that almost, but then you have to think

about you. You are pregnant with your first child, and now you lost this job, and now you want to screen races and trans. When they hired you just on face value, on how you look and on your qualifications, you breached the contract, which means you broke the rule. When you don't follow the rules, there are consequences and repercussions to your act. They fired your ass, that's what the consequences. Because you can't scream racist or sexist. Now you can't know. You can't, no, no, not at all.

That's like trying to buy some illegal drugs and and get it and getting cheated and saying you know. Wait a minute, but you didn't give it all of me. You know what I mean. The contract was breached. You know what I mean. If someone in this in this government started leaking employees information, that would be grounds for a suit for that person. Absolutely, you know what I mean.

I don't know, but he'll mess finish and I'm sorry, No, finish, I'm sorry, Hill mess around and they'll counter suits him. And they've got more money than him. Don't keep confusing all the issues to try to bank on what you're your own personal agenda. And I've been to the Netflix offices. Hear me when I tell you that Netflix treats their employees on that aspect in the office of capacity wonderfully. I mean lavage vacations, they pay them well and all

of that. Hear me when I tell you, sometimes you have to pick the battle that works for you. This battle didn't work for you, player, I said, it's gonna have them on his behind somewhere. You know now that Cassie did school me. Now I know they were relabeling me to fit their own level of comfort, which was

so insulting because I was calling my own self. And the terminology changes from every month to every month, and that's not If it's growth, then it's growing too fast because we can't catch up with the last four I have. I had a very interesting conversation I'm shoot, many of you all saw that with three young ladies on Instagram the other night, three trans sisters talking about the whole backlash with Dave Chappelle and why I am and why I'm not and what I should and should not say.

And out of that entire two and a half hour conversation, I was supposed to have walked away learning something. I asked, what does the Q mean in l G B T Q I A plus? And I got two different answers. It was queer and now it's questioning or it was questioning and now it's clear. So if you don't know, then how the hell you're gonna teach somebody else. It's all I'm saying, because I didn't learn anything, absolutely, absolutely, and I'm I'm willing to go along with the girl.

Quit fighting, black sisters. We have to be the brunt of every argument. MH. Because my my white girlfriends, I was like, are you guys fighting about this? And they were like, whether are mis fights in our community? But that ain't one of you know what I mean? Now to get targeted to the black woman. Here's the hypocrisy for most of my black trans susters. Has this grownted and upset about the whole drama about how black women don't respect them and don't talk to them and don't

treat them. Guess what your presentation is? Said again, God damn it, Cassie said again, I'm not gonna pretend. I'm not gonna pretend to be something that I feel hates me or dislikes me. That at I was that my head blind, put me some blue eyes in and bleach my skin and say my name is John Goldman. If I thought the sisters didn't love me, been doing it all? Look at look Kim. Look Kim changed. Look. Kim went from dark skin and light skinning, different alt color, head color.

She changed the whole look. So if you don't want to identify as a black woman because you feel like black women against you, then change everything you know period, right Because I'm on the battlefield, I'm a sister with a brother's meet like Arby's. We have the meets. This is laugh and learned, baby, And in my experience, the teachers that have taught me the best and the most where the teachers that I laughed with and learned from

because they made me laugh. So if you don't like the way I'm delivering it blocked me right right absolutely. But I mean it's like, as much as I think the world wants to see us fight, that's the last thing we need to be doing because it sins fragments within the whole black community. Yeah. So um, And I don't get it. You know, you're you're faulting me because I didn't know what sins was. And I don't want to be called sins because you want me to relabel

myself so you can put yourself under the umbrella. Then, in the same kind of conversation, if black women who are messy, who make the men be d l because they're looking at the tray is don't you know you can cry away gay? Do you hear me? If they won't you, they want you and me being what they

ain't gonna change you. Yeah, and and and and in my experience Jane and Cassie as a young gay boy or went and then realizing that I wanted to identify something else as I got older, Most young trans girls and guys and and and or gay boys when they're young come out to a biological woman there that's usually our best friend, that we the first person that we feel the safest to say, Hey, I feel like this,

I feel like that. I don't know where the waters get gray and things change to where we feel like they are our enemy, or they are are competition, or I don't know where that changes at because, like I said, you covered what you see and as a young trans black woman or the young trans woman, the first woman that you see is usually the woman that raised you. So whether that be your mother's sister, antique, and mother, that's the woman that you copy the most because that's

the one that you see every day. So why would a woman being why would a woman be in competition with you when you're learning from her. I think to where you said the disconnect was before was also in the age gap. You know what I'm saying. It's like the way that the older trans uh women deal than the way the younger trans women deal. It's the whole age difference and how the whole the way that we respect each other is not there anymore. So maybe we got a lot of learning and we got a lot

of loving on each other is what we need to do. Yeah, and I agree with you totally, but you're only gonna get me the Listen. If you comments, you can't come at me, tell them what you're gonna call me and place the blame on me, because before, before your trans sister get with you to help you fight somebody, it's gonna be a biological female me helping you fight. Well, Listen, whatever we feel, whatever y'all think, understand that I know

how the analytics work at Netflix. What you all really have done is what's the opposite of what you thought you were going to do, because heating on Dave made more people watch that special, which made those analytic numbers turn.

And I know white folks. White folks like money. Hear me when I tell you, Netflix is making money hand over fist with the hate that y'all sprewing that Dave Chappelle special and in the process Dave Chappelle's every time y'all get mad, I'm gonna change my name from being a transgender to transaction because every time y'all get mad, there's a transaction happening there. Well, it's far agoing in

my name. How do you identify transaction transaction. So if you ain't mad, be mad, stay mad because Netflix ain't pulling it down. That the CEO came and said, we're not taking it down. We're not pulling it. Cancel culture. Y'all gonna have to find another way because that ain't gonna work. People are tired of that. You're lazy. You're canceling people without doing no research, without finding out anything. You just get mad because one person says something and

it's snowballs into a monster. Take the time and do your research and learn some ship and stop listening to Google because Google be laying. They said, I got seven hundred thousand? Who got which one you help has got my money? Which one y'all got the rest of my money? I I don't. I'm still looking for mine, my change in the bottom of my back. Let's let's let's let's move on. Cassie, Thank you Love. We're gonna talk about Philip Michigan. I'm gonna take you out, Caress. I want

to bring somebody from Michigan in Thank you, Cassie. We're gonna talk about filint Michigan. Where we're gonna talk about it's not I think it's ann arbor. It's an ann arbor where uh Governor Richard uh Gretchen Whitmore Whitmer is it Whitman or whit More? Y'all know, y'all know what I'm talking about. She just approved for them to change all the lead pipes in that city. And it's gonna take about a year and a half, they said, But I did not know. See to show you how ignorant

I was, I wasn't. I knew when water was bad you couldn't drink it, but I didn't know you couldn't bathe in it because of the lad Yes. Yes, And that wasn't even the city that made the news. It was Flint, Michigan that made the news. It. So have they not fixed it inflict? From what I hear, they haven't fixed it inflict. No, they're not fixed it in Flint. They're still doing bibble water. Um, you know, I'm not sure.

Wait a minute, queen, A street that wasn't no last they said I was forty now they that power was right. Don't be fucking mouthed Hi, Hello, can I be? Can I have Joan Goldman money? Please? Joan Golden get Joan Goldman money, Baby? I just want to say rest and rest in heaven to Colonel Poul. General Colonel Poul, my dad good have liked him. And uh, it's that you know, are great to leaveing us, you know. And just to reiterate, I agree with everybody what they were saying. You did

one for job this weekend. Kudos to Dave, Kudos to Netflix, kudos to you. You're still a comedian regardless, I'm still a comic. And and the young lady who Pamela Brown let me get y'all the tea on Pamela Brown and that interview, So we had talked. We had spoken before the interview briefly for a couple of minutes, and she asked me, was there anything off limits? I said, well, not really, I just don't want to go into the whole transgender rabbit hole. She went right to the rabbit hole.

But what she did not know is who she was working with. Because I understand me when I tell y'all that the man is sharp and the mouth is always prepped, always read always. You know what you were talking about Flint, Michigan And what I'm kind of understanding this, why is it taken so long for those people to get them better pikes because we keep because it's the smoke screen that they were trying to do with Trump and Biden. See, Trump would do dumbsheet every day so that we would

get deflected off voting for Biden. A lot of this. We're deflected right now talking about Dave Chappelle and especial for eight days, nine days, ten days. So in the meantime we're still trying to get a Philippus to pass. Things are still happening in government that we're not talking about because we're arguing over how you identify and what you feel identify in this country as whatever you want to because you live freely in this country to identify

as whatever you want. But understand that when you go to bed with somebody, I wanted to say this on CNN the other day so bad. I don't care what you identify as. My conclusion is gender is a fact. You're born with a penis and or a vagina. Your birth certificates has sex male whatever nationality, or sex female whatever. So when you go to bed with somebody, you can identify as a non binary, trans straight gay upside down sideways through the back. But do you want some penis

or do you want some vagina? There is nothing else. If you do have something else, you need to go to the doctor because that's not normal, right. I just I think it's just crazy. I'm not understanding because you were touching on um the pipes in Michigan and that's a city issue. You know, that should have happened a long time ago. People must not vote. That's not even the city that made talking about that's not even the city that made the new Flint made the news. They're

fixing it in another city. They're not fixing. And see those local politicians. That's why we're always saying vote on the local level because if they're not doing that job, you vote them out where you gotta get people to vote. You gotta get people to vote. And since we own the whole transgender bandwagon, statistically, trans people are the least wants to vote. But but we keep hollering, Oh, they don't like us, they don't like us, they don't like us.

But we gotta state senator that's a trans woman in Delaware. So if they don't like us and we didn't vote, who voted for this bitch? Yeah, I'm not understanding. Why do we care if somebody. They don't like fat people. You think I'm gonna stop living. I'm a big girl. You think I'm gonna stop living? You shaped? You shaped? But but you know, America it's not a fan of big women. But do you think I'm gonna sit up there and go on a rampage saying they don't like big people. No? I keep I go to work and

I do what I'm supposed to do. I don't care if you don't like me, you know, but everybody like that sleep who but? And who cares? I don't care what you do in your bedroom. You don't pay my bills, and I don't pay your bills. That's what people need to understand. I don't know. You know what? You're right?

Dave did right with this as culture your counsel a Netflix Netflix standing with him shown that show that because if they if they would have said no, if they would have said we're taken it down, that would have made all the comedicus so of as a comedian, that would have read us all back into the cubby holes because we would have been terrified to say anything. But by this, this this giant standing with Dave, who is

another giant and saying it's okay. It has given us freedom, just like Damon Way and said he free to slave. Now we're not afraid to say what we want to say. Now we don't have to feel intimidate. I was never that anyway. Yep, you've been I'm gonna say what the funk I want to say? You know, I don't care. But then you said they're gonna they're supposed to be walking out on that on Wednesday. There's some there's some, there's some trends or gay LGB supporters and LGB employees.

They're supposed to walk out on Wednesday, but rumor has it it's only like eight of them. Well, what they don't realize this in an age where people need jobs. We just got out. Well, we're trying to get If they would have told their person no information, they would be piste off and saying, you know, that person should have been fired. But because he was giving off what Dave has cleared by way of netflex, everybody's okay with it.

You can't give out comfort intial information. No, no, no, but you know what, I'm like you flame, they missed all that, And he talked about his friend. You know, we talked about our friends. It's a friends we don't talk about. They missed all of that. They totally missed that. You know, it was a good special, It was very good. It was good. I um, I personally think that, um

it really because we are having this conversation. I think things can change if we get to put the right people of positions and power to go to the table and they have the conversation not me, not me or

not no angry bitches that that I know that's like me. No, it has to be some fair minded, even handed people who have lived in this life and not just lived in their truth, but actually lived in the whole world to go to the table for the trans and LGBT community to speak on our behalf, to say, hey, this is what we're looking for, this is what we're gonna have.

But and on the other side, the understanding with the trans people, we're gonna have to understand that it's not going to just go the way we wanted to go. I don't know, we're circling, y'all. Okay, it's not gonna go just the way we wanted to go. But we have to be open to receive what they're willing to hear. And and take because you're never gonna walk away from the table with everything that you want. But damn it, if we can get of it, and if we can

get an understanding of it. But flame do you really think somebody wants people want to sit down and have a conversation, because this seems to me everybody just want their way. Nobody want to come eat in the middle. That's why I said, we have to get people who have a fair mind. Yeah, but everybody don't have all That's why you have to It's like it's like when you go to court and they pick out the jewels. You got to pick out the ones that you know

are going to see it down and have a fair conversation. Yeah. And with my trans sisters, especially with my trans sisters, because we keep wanting respect as women, women, women, women, women, women women. You have to give respect to women in order to get respect from every some of them, don't you know. It's it's just I don't know. It's just a no win situation right now. I have hope. I hope things change. I want things to change, but it

has start with yourself. If you wanted to change, you know, I don't see I don't see the community respecting black women. I really don't. Just from what I heard the other night, I don't even hear that. Well, you can't base as well, that's not but that wouldn't be a fair assessment, though, Jam, because you can't base all trans women on the ones we watched the other night. But two are supposed to be activate, which is why I said, that's not a

position that I ever aspired to be. That's not what I want to do because I get mad because everybody out and flipped the God them table over, not you, But that was either two other ones that were supposed to be activist and they wouldn't. I was like, oh, you just said the community back about fifteen years just but but you know what, I think it's what Flames said or Cassie said that one one of them, one

of y'all. I think it's because Flames stood up. If it was sending anybody else, nobody wouldn't have a problem with it. But you know that they didn't like was the third man out? Did you see it? Yeah? Flame, they didn't want you to speak Flame, Well, they said that they were technically they're saying that I'm not a transgender woman I'm a drag queen with titties. I'm a man. I got it. Whoo woo woo, woo woo. And for those I say, do your research, that's it. I ain't

even gotta respond by to just do your research. Don't go to Google. Go to an older queen that that's been in the game for thirty forty years. They'll tell you you're not a transgender woman. And again, you are, but you weren't in the mean girls. You don't walk around all day with your face being um, you don't, you know, but they didn't hear. They just it's like when a new girl come to the high school. Uh, you know, everybody anna up keep that my trial for

the cheer Lady News squad. She be not look like this or you know. And that's the way it was. It was a mean girls club, it really was. I was, really I was. I was shocked. Uh two of the women, not one of the women kind of shocked me. But you know, two of them just did not because you were comfortable in your skin. You didn't come on you know what. That's what I wanted to ask. Do you think the reason why some of them have a problem with whatever community is because they have issues with their

own sales. They're not happy with who that are. I just said, the only way we're going to repair this is through understanding and acceptance. The acceptance needs to start within the LGBT community and the trans community because a lot of us, a lot of people don't. You're not happy with what you see in there, which is what we talked about on my platform all the time. The only person you're not gonna find your happiness in somebody else, And you damn sure ain't gonna find your happiness and

somebody else's sadness. You're just not right. No, it's just unfortunate that this is going on. But Tasha Team made a coment she said to be told. She said America was uh was created loves chaos and and hey y'alls and something she said in drama, you know, and this is something like you said, something to talk about to get off in our minds off of what's really happening. We need to pay attention what's going on. For sure, I tell y'all what, We've spent enough time on this.

We want to talk about the memory of Colon Power. Colon Power would definitely he was he became Secretary Estate under the Biden regime. I'm not biding, I mean under the Bush regime. Now which Bush was he under? George W or j I think I think Junior because my

dad was stopping him this morning. He was my dad is still upset the reag and I go figure, okay, But he respected because Colin Powell was the voice of reason on both sides, and he tried to tell Junior Bush, don't go into go after Saddam Hussein or I forgot. I can't remember everything. You know, he was the voice of the reason. But then they scooted him out and got kind of Lisa right, so she did what they wanted to do. He did what they wanted him to do.

So you know, he really loved and respected Colin General, Colin Powell, all of them, everybody that he worked under. What else happened in the news. It's something else happening to beg in the news. I was gonna talk about it, but I didn't bring my notes in him. We in the rouge with the door ship, so we even to do all of that. It happened in the news, y'all. We talked about it this morning. I told you to remind me. I told you to remind me, y'all ain't

gonna remind me. I don't what else happened pel bigger than who? And you've been on all our news media weekend. You can't turn the TV on seeing your face. Look, I like that wig. This is seeing the in baby. This is miss seeing the in baby. You need to get your CNN wig, a CNN dress, get CNN. This is my senior and dress. Y'all just din see that. Y'all didn't see these ends. You see the ends? We just we just you talked about Windy. I hope we did come back because I'm a huge fan of Windy.

I hope she recovers or whatever she has gone on. I really miss them. I thought they was gonna get that position to Nick Cannon too, but are going down. They said this ratings are not good. Who is that Nick Cannon? Oh? I could see that. I watched that show three times. But I want I don't want her to come back, y'all. I miss Wendy. I wish she would come back, you know, I want you. Yeah, I like to see her come back. But I just think the Windy that we got introduced to probably not gonna

come back no more. I don't think she's full of recovered from her divorce and then her mother died. You know, men can move on, but women sometimes women can't move on. Well, I don't know if I agree with that, because me and men say they move on, but a man is broken and just carries his emotion differently. See, this is what I always say, Oh, they gonna get me. This is what I always say because y'all always holler it's about the vagina. Vagina don't make you a woman. Vagina

don't make you this the vagina man. So even if the vagina and I don't agree with that. But even if the vagina did not make you a woman, which I don't believe that, I believe the vagina definitely makes you a woman. Um, it's the heart and mind of a woman. A heart and mind of a woman is exceptionally different from the heart and mind of a man. The thought process, the loyalty, the pressure, the strength, because a man's strength is physical when a woman's strength is

the moment. That's true, that's true. You're right, I agree to that. But you know, but he did move on though, not even though he might be torn up or whatever. Inside. He did move on, but he had been moving on for like seventeen years. It wasn't like he was overnight. He had been messing around with that lady. Yeah, already set a household. Oh you know they're about to tell

me up about that. When y'all know, you know, I don't care because that's how I feel, because I not only was raised by women and my and my uncle, so I've been around both sides, but I've dealt with women, so I know that the emotional part of a woman, her heart and mind is strong where she will stay in it way longer than she should have. She will

devotion and loyalty for her children. Her stature saying that I'm misses whomever you know she'd rather say misses John Johnson, that she'd rather say exactly when a man is saying, I'm going to get a load for bread, and twenty years later he ain't found that lover for bread yet because he came back home. You said, that's one of my topics I'm talking about. You go to Wendy Williams for that, and she ain't there. Okay, Okay, I know I was just reading the comments. Oh no, I saw

it doing. I saw they're not gonna tell me where they want me to go. Okay, okay, it is the year of the One, and we keep missing on. And I know what I wanted to talk about. I wanted to talk about the police officer at the capitol who was actually helping those insurrectionists, and they caught his ass. He was sitting text messes with his dumb ass, sending text mess and telling them what to do and where to go and and get out of the building. And

they're gonna charge everybody. That's why I said we cult. We wouldn't have won anyway, because they had allies on both sides. Yes, yeah, they did. They had a lot of help on the inside. Yes they did, Yes they did. They had a lot of allies on both sides, especially starting with the ex commander in chief. They said, they said that that food. They had to try to get him make a video to get the people to go home. He had to do it four times because he never

told them to go home. He was actually thanking them. And y'all want to give him another run for office, y'all looking for a civil war in this country. He did, motherfucker's gonna kick it. Off. Yeah, it's too much, but what but what are they going to do with these people catching them? They finding out what's going on, But what's the outcome. What are they gonna do because they're not really giving them any good finds or drill times. No, no,

what are they gonna do? Because we know if it was us, we'll be having up here Drew right now. Here's the disgusting part because if if it would been us, we might have sold some ship and looted. But they us defecating on the desk and peeing and you put this smearing species on the wall. What kind of nasty ass people are these? What kind of ridiculously nasty people? All those what y'all their their ex military and their police officers and their school teaching, But they're nasty people.

Because that was disgusting. It was nasty. It was just just sat or laptop of some ship of the TV. But I wasn't gonna do all that. But climbing. They were climbing the walls and they called us monkeys. Yeah, yeah, they were climbing the walls for calling us money. But I want to know all this big investigation, what are they gonna what? Congress gonna do. Not the Special Committee, what are they going to do besides talk trying what

happened to? What happened to all the stuff that mother found out, when all the stuff that all investigations and but nothing happened. Nothing is going to happen because we are not, like Allison always says, if we don't stop voting at the local levels, we can't put people that we want an imp meant into those positions. Those dinosaurs have been there forever and they will die in those positions because we get mad and don't vote as black people. Right.

And then we listened to and we listened to the celebrities that's gonna come out. It's October about next month. Oh hold your vote, Oh the black vote, don't because I ain't heard about the black agenda in three or four months? What? What? What? What quiet? Can you me? Now? Can you now? Because they nobody's not about the black agenda, right, nobody's saying anything. It's just it's it's I don't know what,

I don't know what's gonna happen. And first they're they're they're gonna run against school food boards just to be dumbasses, because they're going to these school board meetings wreaking havoc. And that's the first tangible position where they can assume and show their stupidity. So first they're going to fill

up the school board. It's it's the hypocrisy. Yeah, And we're watching the news and we're taking it in and we're taking it in and I promise you get with you some elders that have lived that can teach you, that have experienced what it's like to be in America forty fifty years.
