Can't no kiss do what I do? She Hello, everyone, welcome to laughing line with Flame, Monroe, Nouring Hogan and Nick Smith, who's coming in later. We we appreciate you guys coming in. We know we're a little late, but I was changing my heart. I had to get a perm and I had to pee. But we look good,

we smell good, I feel good, feeling feel it. Study you were missed last week? Did y'all miss me that I was here. No, you were virtual, like you weren't here with I wasn't even on the planet last money. Let me just say that I'm figuring that out. I was there, but I was. Yeah, you were loved lounge for laughing. No matter how high, no matter how high I get, I still be looking up for you. I was looking up to y'all last week because I was I was feeling groovy. The Okay, what are we doing? Lo?

What are we going? Well? First of all, how was your weekend? My week was good? Easter like people very quiet. I made mashed potatoes and short reels and what else? And corn on the cop that I burned. Actually, I burned the corner on the cop. I wouldnderstands. I was on the phone. I forgot it. See bring NICKI in. We want to thank you guys for joining us. Wait a minute, how was your week, Lauren? Um? My weekend actually was good. I ended up. Did you cook? No?

I did not cook. I wasn't really we weren't really celebrating Easter. I'm just gonna be honest. I had to work on Saturday. And um, we did this food giveaway in Compton and we gave away fifteen thousand pounds of foods and we felt about five families. So that was my That was pretty dope. Yeah, that was my easter Um situation. So I was pretty happy with that I did that instead of cooking, and that's okay with me. The people grateful, Oh yeah, yeah it was. It was

a really amazing event. We had a DJ, we had our testing truck out there. It was really good testing for con HIV. Testing makes you make make when you give away food to people that's homeless, are hungry and all that, it makes you be a little more grateful. Yeah, it does, It really does. And it was it was a drive through. The wider cars lined up for six blocks. So you know, I'm waiting on Lauren to tell me. Lauren usually break it down. Nick, back up, good, good, Okay,

I think I got to figure it out. Yeah, you look good, Nick, Lauren, would you do me a favor. I'm doing alright, but do me a favor. Grab the woman to your left and make sure she's not trying to run off to the talk because I saw a couple of pictures this week where somebody looked like a talk show host. Well, since I'm on the right, she was he wasn't about Triple because I don't right the

producers leaving us, y'all, Triple, are you going somewhere? She said them to see what I would look like if I was sitting in the middle of the talk table, I would look like Sharing Underwood or Sure Osborne. You know, I'm just saying I could do that. I can do that job CBS and would raise the level of that show till you have no idea. I agree with you.

I definitely agree with you on that, but y'all would have to run and not seeing those photos, I definitely suggest that go to your I G page to take a look at those because you did you look really did before we get started. I just have to ask, did y'all feel that earthquake here in Los Angeles, California? There were two? When I tell you about sleeping and all of a sudden, it was like a jolt and I woke up twice. I was like, okay, listen, it was it was a lot. I do normally enjoy earthquakes.

I just don't like being woke up about in my sleep. It was my being was shaken last night. I know it's an earthquake, but I had a company, but my being was damn so shaken. I want you to do it was Easter. I had to resurrect the did I'm still standing? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I just want to know how was your week? What did you do for Easter? Because I know you're there alone what you do. I am alone, but you know, I want to have finalized plans. I told you I'm going on Mother's Day weekend. I'm

headed Chicago to see my mama. So we kind of locked that down and we started the day with the Easter phone call and just a lot of laughs, you know, laughing about you know, you can talk to I can talk to you about some of the same things. We still laugh, you know about things that we've talked about a thousand times. And that's exactly what my mother and I did. We just talked about different things and and

just reflected, you know, uh, funny quick story. We were just talking about how you just remember how when you were a kid used to get the new Easter suit and all that different stuff, and now just things have just changed. Now they don't even think about you wear whatever you have. Now you're not running out to get a new Easter suits. I missed the Easter egg hunts when you had money in it. The money and the eggs,

that's what I miss. I never had one of those. Okay, we was lucky to get one jelly bean, not a couple of jellybans. One jelly bean. Well, you know your school didn't and then you had like friends, he came together, you got your Yeah. So anyway, I didn't do anything for Easter, Nicholas. I feel like I want to sneeze, but I'm scared to sneeze. Listen, can we let's see we can move the camera. Look y'all see how flame is sitting today. I just want to show attention. Is

the dress is gonna un zip. Okay, this is not the dress that's on the pictures that I took. This is an additional dress that might made me have some different pokes. I'm in the poke that phase right now. Just I want to call it wrong. So the zipper and he does not have a lock on it. So this was a dress that I was going to wear on the talk show that you saw me do last morning point last Monday point of view. But my girlfriend

tried it on and broke the zipper. But this zipper is so tight that if I sneeze, it's gonna pop, so I had to put a bra on with it. Today. This is where my boobe look enormous. If I sneeze, y'all gonna get a big old showing. So I may have to put my cash up. So if I sneeze cash into a strip show game, come on running down in the valley. Whatever, girl, that's one of those days.

I'm sorry. If that's the case, Lord, can we can we make sure that Kendle gets a hazard pay If that's indeed the case, Why you got to bring that up? Pretty boobs. He might not like him attached to him, but he definitely like pretty news. We have already talked about it in the corner, laughing. He's laughing in the corner. Oh wow, Hey guys, I do want to start up. I do want to let you all know. We had

a bit of breaking news here in Arkansas. Whether governor believe it or not, refused us to sign he Vetold the bill, the anti trans bill that was floating through the House really HB seventy. He said it was an extreme overreach and he believes that trans youth deserve access to healthcare. I'm gonna just say this. I think more and more we are seeing that people are nervous about being on the wrong side of history. People don't want to be labeled as racist. Look at what's happening in

Georgia with Governor Kemp. I just think that you know, we're starting We're gonna start to see a shift in a lot of ways because people just don't want to be on the wrong side of history, and more importantly, they want to get reelected. That's what's that's the bottom line. And the GOP as a whole is not showing the therapy a party for the people, So you might have some outliers starting to just kind of step back a

little bit from the GOP. That's my thoughts. Trans youth healthcare would that consists of mental because I don't understand what a youth would need trans health care for unless it was a mental capacity to talk about how you feel it, because I'm damn sure not signing up for or trans you're taking hormone therapy of any age unless you have went through puberty and you've experienced some things to know that you are sure of this, because that

is not a do over. Once you start, you grow rubs you shrink your penis from the from the trans woman's perspective as a trans man, your clip gets enormous. You mess with your account or possibly having children, it does things to your female internal soul. I'm asking because I want to know, are you talking about health care for the youth and I'm only thinking mental I'm not thinking, uh, you know, taking any kind of medication because I think

you're just not ready for that. And I'm saying that from experience as it stands right now, the governor definitely believed that those are decisions that needed to be between the patient and their parents, not the state mandating anything. Somebody are not in control. Let me just say that they want to please their kids, my kids. I want to please my kids too. But I know it is a whole answer, and the last four words, I'm sorry.

I know you're coming the last four words to know when they say but why Because I said so, all parents say it and it works well. I think what's gonna be interesting too, is because I don't I don't know if this is mandated across the country, but like just speaking from personal experience, I know what once you reach a certain age, your parent no longer is technically allowed to be in the room with you when you

see a doctor unless you give them permission. And I think the age is like thirteen, at least it's here in California. I don't know if that's the mandate across the board, but technically, in this situation, based on you know, the governor signing this bill, it may not be up to the parents in terms of what type of you know, care these kids want to get because their parents don't have to be in the room. So well, I know the plane wanted to start to show a particular way

before we dive on in flame. You already, you already took me somewhere else. You get me on the LGBT A B C D M G p T s D A b c q g R kept f n b G. Secondly, I want to say congratulations to Nis Nash and her wife. I watched their interview on Since we're doing LGBT, we might as well come all of it now because I ain't coming back to this ship. Uh uh NSA nasked who married her wife, Jessica bots Yes, and the girl the wife knows me because she used to come to

the drag shows. They say, in Chicago. I don't remember meeting her, but I'm telling I hosted Dragon shows for so long, so many people know more of me than I know of them. But it was a good interview. Uh Ny Nance said that she had never thought about being with a woman, and she met this woman and she married her. Let me let me say that again. She said she never had thought about being a woman, and then she met this woman and she married her.

Everybody's experienced. I have not said a fucking work. I just gave up. I understand getting you something, laying down and liking it, but marrying it. Hey either either bests had it fire or or ncy ain't never had fire? Now which one is it? Anyway? The other the LT because I gotta go back to because uh, what's her named? Jada Pinkett Smith said she's thought about it, but she's never been with a woman. Oh I saw that too. I have absolutely Okay, what's the first topic. I do

want to kind of jomp. I do want to mention how it broke last week after we finished. The NFL has approved a seventeen game season, and I know that there are a whole lot of people who are excited about that. To get a chance to uh, you know, um get one more extra game in there. In the NFL, of course we'll find was it the Major League Baseball? Because Major League Baseball made some major announcement too, didn't he Well, I think it's a whole sports has kind

of shifted. Um, the NFL is doing the seventeen game season.

Even the NBA right now there they shortened their season, but I think about like thirty games because they're trying to basically get everything back on track in terms of what their normal seasons look like, so they don't have this run over any more in them players can actually like rest and rejuvenate because it seems like, at least for the NBA, some of these players are especially like the Lakers for instance, are a little injury prone because

they won the championship, that were in the bubble the longest. So I think as a whole MLB, NFL, NBA, they're just trying to get their schedules back on track. So that's where we're really trying to see what we're going to be seeing. I should say. Also, I just wanted to kind of throw out there, you know, another thing that happened last week after we got off the air. Uh. Major Biden? Uh, once again bait somebody. So I'm trying to think what do we do because flame you and

I've talked about this. A rescue is definitely the way to go. But do you think we have a problem with Major Biden? This is like the second time he's been involved in a biting incident. Who someone Joe Biden's dog? Oh? Was it? Wait a minute, was it? Remember that? Did he buy somebody? Was it Democrat or Republican? It makes it difference, seriously, it makes it if did he buy somebody that was Republican? June Okay, I did not know. I was gonna listen, it's not who you buy it.

It's not how many of you, it's who you bite. That's that's saying Harlem Knights, Eddie Murphy. He said, it's not how many people you shoot, it's who you shoot. I want you to shoot the body. But listen, if you see something red and you decided to bite it, maybe they should have went blue. They should have worn blue. I do want to take a turn and give a serious shout out uh to DMX right now, because you

know we had talked about that. Um flaming are a little bit older, so we've been following his music a whole lot longer. So Nick, you know I'm an old soul shoot. I got music going back to the fifties. I listened to Frankie Litman. I don't know one DMX song. Party Up, That's all I know. And all I know is uh um, tear it Up is my favorite? What's the wom when you coming up? Bum? I'm bump bump, but I'm bump bump, bah bump move. Yeah, that's all I know. Yeah, was that party up? And it starts

off bumping up, bumping up? I think so. Yeah, And I already know that because I used that intro when I do rap numbers, when I did drag shows. I don't know none of the words in the damn So I do feel bad form and it made me go back and rewatch him on levanz and when I thought he was going to jump on that lady. But um, I feel bad for d M Max. I thought he had kicked the drug habit, but I guess not. It's not. Yeah. Yeah, And I don't know if you got a chance here

because I know that you watched Good Morning America. But CBS, this Morning played a little bit of the interview they had with um Hunter Biden and he was talking about his addiction and now he was smoking cracking hotel rooms and he had really just gone off the deep end. It was. It was very revealing to say the lead tile he was just lost. That still sounds heighth end to me. Smoking crack in the hotel room. You know how many people smoke cracks and abandoned billings and gangways.

So he was still like a step up above Jimmy and a thrill on cracky because he was in the hotel room, not in abandoned billing in the alley turning the trick. You know, I'm just saying it was a cracker, was cocaine, because there's a difference. Is there a difference? Yeah, it was. He was. He was definitely, he was definitely talking about smoking crack. Yeah, and uh, going in areas flame not too far off of skid row, you know,

trying to do and everything there. Yeah, Yeah, he was, he was just he was really gone, really gone on what he was searching for. Because you know a lot of times they say when you want to get how you're searching for it too. You're trying to forget or you're trying to release a pain or get away from it. What he talked about that a little bit. He said that he never he said that when his mother and sister were killed, everybody knew about it, but they never

discussed it, so it was always there. No like, nobody ever talked to him about you know, your mom was killed, your your sister is dead now, and and like because they just moved on, you know, and everybody all attention went to his father who had lost his wife and child, but nobody talked to the children. And that he said, he just struggled. And then when his brother, when he lost his brother, he was done. When he lost when he lost his brother to um to cancer, he was

like it was just over. He just started suppressed. Trauma is real. Um, I'm just saying for me, like I know, I'm not one to talk about my emotions and how I'm feeling. I'm very much to have walls up so I can understand how having some catastrophic and just traumatic events like that in your life and not being able to work through them emotionally, how that kild drive you to something like that. That's a that's hard. It's definitely escaped.

I want to get had because when y'all come to Love Lounge and I've been feeling groovy, my daughters have probably worked my nerves for the day or stressed sound. So I've had me a little but not I'm not not that kind of drug, but it's still a drug. So okay, I'm not bashing no body, but I do also think again, I'm gonna say, because we've had this conversation before about addiction, addiction at a certain age as a choice, so I chest like I choose to drink

the edibles. They chose to do what they got to do. I know sometimes you can't escape from it, but they got programs and people that are supposed to be able to help you. But if you keep going back to the same situations in the same predicaments, you're gonna do the same ship and what they say, keep doing the same thing and expecting different results. I put on his hand, but it ain't accurate, right, So yeah, it's different results.

You like my hallo? There are there are two more things I'm gonna throw out there, you guys, because since we're just talking about it and we'll get on. But you also mentioned last week because we were going off the air Flame, I'm like, what is Flame and Lauren talking about that Tina Turner documentary? Absolutely, oh, Lauren. I went on and on the Flame next day called Flame literally said to me, Nick, don't call me a six in the morning. You really need something to do. You

are clearly I was. I was that, I was, I was, I was shaken, I was excited, I was, I was moving. I've always liked Tina, but I was like, yeah, but something about and this is what Flame and I talked about. There's something about having the person tell their story in their own voice, in their own words. Lauren. It was fantastic, absolutely fantastic, one of the best things I've seen. And the Broadway musical too. I know Broadway is like coming back in the next couple of months. I'm really excited.

Um the Tina Broadway show Tina on Broadway is coming back too. So if you guys are in New York or if you end up, you know, traveling there, I really encourage you to go see the Broadway musical of it as well, because it's just as good and the cast is absolutely phenomenal. So between me watching the musical first last December and then I actually saw this documentary. It's just I've always had a lot of respect for her, just as you know, artists and performers in general. So

I'm glad you got to watch it. But yeah, it's definitely a musty. Yeah. I recommended for every that's fat things I have recommended to you, dear, and that you've enjoyed. Uh oh, you never, you've never, You've never steered me wrong with that. I think we are more aligned on movies and everything. I just get I'm slow to get there sometimes. You know. You got every every channel too, and the only full back and I watch three, okay, I see any end. I watched American Movie Turning Movie

Classic and American Movie Classic. Okay, so three, I was close. I watched The Cooking Now. I watched the Twin Brothers that sell real estate property Brothers too, like the one with the beer, not the one without the Jonathan see it. I'm in love, I'm in love with I'm in love with Chip and Joanna really Chipping and Joanna with the Chip eats bugs. Yeah alright, Lorden, where we're going to the show. Let's get into the topics we ended up,

you know, having a whole little segment beforehand. That's not glad we did because we're about to go. We're about to get into some ship, y'all. And I'm telling you right now, if you ain't braced for it, and you ain't really before, you probably want to leave, laugh and learn right now and just wait till we come back our audio when they get edit some ship, because we're about to go real deep and real hard. That's to be the second time in the last twenty four hours

I did that. Wait a minute, what happened. Let's start with the topics where we're going along when we started. We are going to start with Flames favorite Manny Petty State of Florida, right, and they're representative that is in a Florida that is experiencing a bit of a sex scandal. Matt Gates is a slut and it's messing around with little keys. I see what the funk I see it? Uh, And he is. If you don't know what many petty means, that means he's not allowing you have you've never been

to the love lounge. I called Florida to Manny Petty State because all the Manny's run there, because they all a lot of my pitties. I don't know where so many pedophiles run to Florida. It is just like open season for pedophiles in Florida. I think they stay up under the radar run into Florida. I don't know what that is. But Matt Gates has definitely been caught, well not caught. He's been widely accused. Hasn't he even indicted

at this point or not yet? Sleeping with underage girls, technic showing new loo and lascivious pictures on the Damns Congress floor. He's just a man and always usually looking at his daddy to give him out some ship. I'm telling y'all, Florida, y'all need to change your voting habits, because I don't know who the hell y'all be voting for. I just think that this Matt Gates situation has so

many layers to it. It's like a new discovery has brought to the light every day, especially because some of the people, well, one of his associates he's linked to in terms of I guess the fraud or money launching or fraud or whatever. He's already been right, So it's like only a matter of time, and they were just building. They've been just building and building this case against him.

So and this is what's also interesting, Lauren guests. At one point, according to MSNBC, the Florida, Florida congressman also allegedly asked women to help recruit others who might be interested quote and having sex him and his friends separately and collectively. Um so the and should the potential recruits uh turn witness, you know, this would be more evidence against or or you know, but right now he has not been charged with the crime. And just want to

make sure that we're clear there. But the allegations against GLP Matt Gates uh continue to mount and they are becoming more serious. And they one of his friendoms, Okay, I understand that that black don't crack, But why it ain't tight? Because when I tell you that the friend about to tell it all white. Ain't that type? Well you don't believe me? Go back to January six. Their own kids was tricking on him. Why ain't that type?

Why black? Don't Craig? I gotta bring something up. So did you guys see the interview that Matt Gates did with Tucker Carlson. Okay, So Matt Gates literally tried to make Tucker Carlson a witness his whole freaking uh indictment that's coming down on him. He tried to make Tucker Carlson a witness. And Tucker straight up said, um, I have no idea what you're talking about. And I said, you better? Did I know? You? Remember? You remember Tucker?

You remember Tucker? We were at the party together. You in fact, you met her. You remember when we were Tucker, right, I don't know I'm talking about. I have no idea what you're talking about. He should have bust that set me up. You ain't gonna get me caught up in your way of a foolishness. And Matt Gates is a director of communications and designed and it's it's not looking good for him. It's really not. Daddy got any money here, bam out, No, there's one. There's only so much that you,

daddy can do on this one. There's only so much because even Bill bar Step and I understand, yes, and I understand the story becomes more and more convoluted, and and it's not easy to follow, and and and the explanations don't all add up. It is worth watching, so we will keep an eye on that one for sure, for sure. And I just want to throw this out there, Isn't it interesting? All of these other stories have come up with Matt Gates. There's been the Gym Jordan thing.

Anybody heard anything about Andrew Cuomo. It's like all of a sudden, all these allegations disappeared, Lauren, What did I tell you? There's always he is a bigger story around the corner. Like I was telling Flame, literally literally after we were talking about Asian hate, I said, we need to focus on it now because there will be a bigger story. We had the shooting now, there's just there's

always I remember, And I'm just gonna make this quick sideway. Um, back when Chandra Levy went missing years ago, why you be doing it? Why you be going somewhere that's not I'm re ready to go there? Because who was right? And he would not do an interview, He wouldn't talk, he wouldn't talk, and and they kept the thing is had he just kept his mouth shut. He finally did an interview with Connie Chung, who was an anchor at the time. He was so condescending and nasty to Connie.

And that's all everybody remembered. Literally two days later we had nine eleven and nobody was talking about Chandra Levy anymore. And it was like one of those things where had he just kept his mouth closed because there's always a bigger st around the corner. And it turns out he did not kill Chandra Levy, but he is still forever tied to Chandra Levy, and he of course lost reelection and all that and went back to California with his

head between his legs. But yeah, legs. Chung remember challenge. Right after that, she got controversial with Bill Clinton's mother and said that and let the audio be released at Bill Clinton's mother called Hillary Clinton a B I T C H. And we heard from Connie Chung since cause some ships you're gonna hold or they're gonna fold you. Did she not listened to Kenny Rogers. You gotta know when to hold them and know when to fold him. She thought she's gonna get some brownie points. She did.

It was called just Sharon Osborne, We're gonna bag you out, just like that. One reporter and I can't think of his name now, do you remember the one who said that they were pimping Chelsea remember that he was at NBC. He made some derogatory comment about Chelsea Clinton and how Bill and Hillary had her out there on the stop. I mean they booted him. We have not seen him. He went then still confused him with Trump and Ivanka. There must have been some confusion. She is so bad, y'all.

She is so bad. Okay, what we were, Matt Gates. I don't I don't even know what they're gonna do. I just think that it seems to be something always affiliated with so many of these public Republican men, and pedophilia, not all, not all before y'all get to jump it down my throat, but I don't know. It's a lot of it. It's a lot of it. Like a kid, I'm like, you can go bad whatever you want. They're selling anything you need for a small fee. But getting of age, not under age, Oh my god, the least

you can go. And it's also alleged it is also alleged that in Tallahassee, while is still there, that they had a running scorecard where they kept scores on women and the number of women different lawmakers could sleep with um and there was a pool that at the end of the year. Uh someone would would end victorious. Uh. The sex competition Tallahassee Uh has has been alleged for years.

During the two thousand and twenty feud with former colleagues, information came out and like you mentioned flame, Uh, there are reports that he would show pictures on two other lawmakers on the Senate floor, uh, showing them, Hey, this is who I'm with, and look at this video that we shot. And so people want to know who are these people that you showed this video too as well? And why haven't they come forward to say, hey, this is inappropriate or don't do that. All these lawmakers are

about to go down these Republicans poor thing. Okay, Well, he ain't that important. I hope they catch his nasty ass, I said when I see it, telling to call me. Uh. Can we get into what's really important right now? That when we turn on the news and watch it, everybody's in a place. Oh there the George Floyd trial. Because Derek Shelman is not on trial here. The only person on trial here is George Floyd. What do you mean by that flame that all that bringing up is everything

that George Floyd did. Everything is what George Floyd did in his past, his past stopped. On the day he did, his past stopped. Y'all still going into all stuff. This man then killed him right in our faces. Put this nigga on the stand. That's put Derek Schauben on the stand, and then give me a prosecutor with some balls. I ain't talking about with regular balls either. I'm talking about that it's not afraid to hold him accountable and show

him what he did. He came watching when they showed it in the courtroom, he put his head down, or he started writing, or he look away. Make that nigga look at what he did, because that's the deed that he did. He created this Frankenstein monster. He killed this man on purpose, and now he don't want to look at it. That's the same effect as Frankenstein. We create a monster, then we don't want to face what we created. Nigga,

Look at you killing this man. They need to stop the tape right there when he got his hand in his pocket, his knee on that man's neck and he's looking dead into the camera that the young person was taking him with the smirk on his face, and stop it right there and say, right now, at this moment, look at don't turn away. What were you thinking? Make that nigger answer, Hold him accountable, You hold us accountable for everything. Hold that food accountable, because guess what he

killed that man? Ain't no, ain't no roundabout second degree, third degree, and they said it wasn't premeditated. He had a history with this man. He knew this man long before now. He was just waiting for an opportunity to show up to where he could institute the rage or hate or bitterness or anger whatever he felt towards this man. He got the opportunity and he used it and he killed him. Do I think that he meant to kill him? No, but he did so, nigga, you go to prison. I

think he meant to kill him. I think so. I think he meant to get him as close to death as he could without killing him. No, I think he meant to kill him. One I will say this. I think that it's unfortunate that to Flame's point, that George Floyd is the one that's on trial. It's his life. He has to you know, the prosecutors have to bring up his girlfriend and Courtney Ross, and his past drug addiction and all of these different things that he was going through. And how you know, oh, he didn't know

that it was a twenty dollar bill. They're trying to justify his actions and of what occurred throughout his life to get to this day, and that's not what we

should be doing. We should be addressing the fact that Derek Chauvin had his knee intentionally on this man's neck, because like everybody else, I've been watching this trial, I've seen everybody from the lieutenant come on, the police chief was on today, I was on the stand today who had fired him, and they all said that there's a process and procedure to follow, and there are certain steps that they take to determine, you know, an unconscious restraint

versus a conscious restraint, and what deems those things to be implemented based on your surroundings and what's happening at a scene and throughout everyone's testimony, it's been very clear that he used excessive force and that he did this intentionally. They had a history before. And if you intentionally put your knee on somebody's neck, not for eight minutes and forty six seconds, but for nine minutes and twenty nine seconds, what did you think the end result was going to

be other than death. You can't just think that doing that nothing was going to happen. That's the intent right there. On Friday, Lieutenant Richard Zimmerman, the longest serving officer in the Minneapolis Police Department, offered a scathing condemnation of Mr. Chauvin's use of force. He said that Mr. Chavan violated police policy and called his actions totally unnecessary. But more important to that too, which is I think we didn't see because so many different video and camera angles have

come out now. While Derek Chauvin had his knee on George Floyd's neck, he was also he was pulling his hands up behind his back while he was handcuffed. He was restricting airflow. That was intentional to have restricted airflow to somebody. What were you What did you think was gonna happen other than you cut off somebody's oxygen to the point that they can't breathe anymore and then they're obviously gonna die. What else did you think was gonna happen?

Lieutenant Zimmerman said, if your knee is on a person's neck, that can kill them, adding that people who are handcuff generally pulls little threat to officers. Mrs Zimmerman's testimony, bolstered by his more than thirty five years on the force, could be a major setback for a crucial aspect of Mr. Chauvin's defense. And I am quoting here from The New

York Times. I'll just say this, with all of the damning testimony that's come out from, like we said, Lieutenant Zimmerman, the police sheet that testified today, the corner that testified today and said that his death was related to asphyxia and not related to an overdose on drugs, um the previous fire medic that came out that was a bystander, every uh, Darnielle Williams, every all of these different witnesses and um key experts, because I feel like we can

call him at this point, are testifying that this was excessive force and that he murdered George Floyd. If y'all don't convict Derek Chauvin and make sure he gets sentenced, y'all better be ready because there's going to be some riots that erupt. There's no way that. Not that we want that, but I'm just saying that's going to be the reality of it. Specifically, because this entire trial has been televised it is, we all can watch it, and

every major network probably except for Fox, is airing this. Laura, and I also think, you know, and this is just my own personal opinion. I think the reason this also resonates so much is because we were all on lockdown when this happened, so we all seem like I feel like we've all been part of this journey from the actual police confrontation that resulted in Mr. Floyd's death to uh where we are now watching this trial, which seemed to me to take longer than you know, um uh

then I don't know. It seemed again I don't have a legal background, but it seemed fairly cut and dry to me that there was something wrong with what happened with the George Floyd's um unfortunate death, that it could have moved a little bit faster. That's just my opinion that the fact that we're just now starting this, we're only in week two of a trial that I feel last year was pretty cut and dry from the optic.

I think too, though, that the the district attorney was trying to really make sure that they built a concrete case, because I don't think that they wanted to repeat of Rodney King you know trial where we had the video evidence you could see everything. Was that everybody's like, okay, we finally got these cops and then they all got off.

So I think that because, like I say, you know, the climate of the world is always important, and this particular instance was probably on an even greater scale because like you said, we were on lockdown, so we got international coverage. They were international protests. We didn't so much see that with you know, the Rodney King um rutal beating that he got. It was more of a US

say kind of thing. But because I think there's so much international attention brought around this, the dition, the district attorney really wanted to make sure that they did their due diligence to build an air type because the flame and I've had this conversation offline. Are you confident and I'd love to hear with flame mess have to say, are you confident in the case that the prosecution is putting forward? No? Absolutely not. Let me answer that for you.

They started off like lions and then they got soft. And here's the thing. I don't give them if the prosecution ain't in on it, But if the if the um defense is in on it, and or they and all the other police come out to say, oh, Derek Schouman is a horrible police officer. He was a horrible human being. The fucking judge seems to be in on it to me, it's my opinion. The judge to me, is shooting down everything that the prosecuting is coming with.

He also tried to belittle those youngsters where they came up there, because that's what was there feeling there and talking to him when it was happening, was a bunch of youngsters. He tried to make them feel intimidated because you know, we teach our children and we teach the youth to respect authorities or a role or police badge, somebody, a doctor, somebody in that position. He made them look kind of stupid. If you ask me, I think that the judge is biased to the case, leaning towards Salvin.

This is my opinion, and I wish that he would be removed because I am not living for him not to say that it's not fair. That's what it's not. George Floyd didn't get a fair shake on his death date. He can't get a fair shake now because that's who's on trial. To me, they're finding everything wrong with George Floyd. Go into Derek Schapan's past. Let's see how many people he has done this too and gotten away with, whether

they're a live or did. Let's see how many crimes that he has gotten away with, and let's see what he had such contempt towards George Floyd because he had a reason not to like this man long before meeting him on that day. We know they worked together, but there's something else. The whole story is not out. Put this nigger on the stands so we can find out and get a prosecutor that can pull it up out of him. You know who they need. They need Alex Cabot from from Law Order, SCU bitch get it. A

couple of things. I'll say this, I do think that the judge is biased. But even even in my experience of going to traffic court and you have the cop that shows up, there's a an unspoken rule is that the cop is always right. What of the situation is, especially when you're in a courtroom, no matter what the level or degree of you know, you know what you're

in court for. So I think one that's really what we're seeing with the judge, and I really do think that the judge is biased the prosecution, however, I'm actually I like the prosecution. I think that the female prosecutor that they have, she's really able to break certain things down and ask, you know, real targeted questions in an empathetic way that's not coming across aggressive or a way that you know, the defense can try and cross exam and make it seem like, you know, oh, she's badgering

witnesses or she's trying to you know, curtail testimony. I think she's doing a great job. I think she's probably more so one of my favorites. Um. I do think that Derek Chauvin's lawyer is terrible. I'm just gonna say that.

I don't think that he's him a million bucks listen, I don't think that his attorney is that great and flame to your last point, I think that those of us that have watched crime shows like the Law and Order, SCUS, the blue Bloods and those different we're expecting to see a certain type of swagger and vigor I think with some of these attorneys, and we're not getting that at

this point. And I think that's part of some of the opinions that are being formed in terms of the capabilities of these um lawyers that are in the courtroom. I'll say that open it up. Okay, Well, let's bring in some flame Man's nick. We're gonna come back to you. You give us some opinion, y'all. Nicholas, Yes, what do you think it's going to happen? I don't know. I really have no idea. I'm I'm I'm glued like everybody else.

I just find it to be extremely emotional, and I think that it's it's so heavy, and I'm just hoping that if children are watching, that there's an adult or someone to explain to them what they're seeing and why it matters that this is not okay? Do hi down again? Back again, back to the week before last, when I told you something I don't want to see. I just

don't want to see it because I can't. I can't turn it off, I can't get rid of it's once it's in my psyche, it's there, and I'm like, even when I ain't thinking about it, just fucking pop up and something with trigger it. I'm sorry, hi On, I just had to get that out. I am I don't want to watch. I don't want to watch nothing about the trial. I don't want to see snippets of it. I don't want I don't want to see it because, like you said, I think Lauren might have said that

George Floyd is not on trial. He's deceased and they and white people got a bad habit or doing that to us. You know, we can be dead fifty years, but we we stole a piece of candy out the grocery store and we don't trial for that. No, no, So I felt he intended to kill him. Um like that. I did hear on the news that baby said, uh, the nine year old said she believed? What did he say? She's he put more pressure on his neck and the prosecutor accs. I think what the prosecutor said, Well, how

do you know that she said? Because I saw him raise his back. Now, while look at the trauma that a nine year old has, she's gonna forever remember that. So I don't want to see no more of this stuff about George Floyd. I hate that his life had to be sacrificed for, you know, to open people eyes.

But no, he's not on trial. I don't don I do want to ask you that, don do you feel like more people are aware now of maybe uh excessive force to my police or uh the disparities between different communities. Do you think that helped to shine a light on an area many people of color were already aware of emparracities because everybody knows how we're treated as a people. They know how we're treated as a people. He didn't

have to put his neck, his knee on that man's neck. Well, you know, why do you have to use excessive force with us? By nature, we're not a violent we're not violent people. So why did you have to go that far with you? Because there's a bigger story to this and we're gonna get to the end of it. And and it's been they've been doing this to us every time somebody, you know, police, they're always shooting us that you know, they're always killing us for what you don't

kill your own. But it goes to show you that they treat us like animals. They treat us like deer. They're gonna hunting in the dear least, that's how they treat us. So I don't want that, sorry, but that was real. It was real, But it just it just pep with bek us like animals. You know, I was looking at I was looking at something um um. I can't remember what I was looking at. History and how they were throwing junior storing water on people because they

were just trying to vote. So you know, shooting water on our ancestors because they just try to vote. So now you can't. You may have gotten false money from the bank. You know, I've gotten effect twenty dollar b or a hundred dollar BI or from the bank. Am I trying to hustle somebody? Know, I'm just trying to buy what I need to buy. You know, it's senseless, It's ridiculous. I don't want to watch it. I pray that they find him guilty. See, I'm not gonna be

satisfied until the scenting scene because they're gonna find it guilty. See. It's just like the little girl Amber in Dallas. I wasn't to three of because they found a guilty. I wanted to know the scenting scene. And when she got ten years, I said, ship she should have went home on probation ten years. And the black judge came off

the of the stand apologize. Act well. The other part of that too, is there still an appeals pro because if we're gonna talk about Amber Geiger, she got the ten years and then her attorney went back and appealed the sentencing and she got reduced. So that's that. And that's what I've said to is that the conviction great, the sentencing great, but we gotta look at the appeals process because because even if he does get convicted and sentenced, I can already see this going into weed. Yeah, because

you know what's the charge? Say, you know, every state has different laws and get different charges. So if he's convicted, I can care less. I want to hear if he gets forty fifty years, Okay, well then I'm satisfied and said, at least he can serve twenty before he's up for appeal. You know. Well. The other thing I think, too, is to what flames point is I as as we know now, there have been I believe seventeen other incidents of excessive force that is on Derek Chauvin's jacket in terms of

what he's been doing as a police officer. So I'm waiting because browling week two, we're still kind of early. I'm waiting for him to officially go on trial. But you know what the learned to add to what you're saying is I've worked alongside police officers, and when you have that type of record, you're not supposed to be working. But because if, but if it was us, Because I know a couple of police officers black who lost their jobs because of the things they were doing. But the

white guys they kept, uh, they kept working. And one two particular, one in particular, one guy killed himself, he committed suicide, good because it's mentally ill. And another one shot himself and his wife. Talk about the wife for good. But but just see what I'm saying, because they're mentally all. And again I kept saying, why y'all want to keep giving little Roger and little Jonathan, who y'all already knew as fucked up kids, crazy as kids. No, didn't nobody

in the family want to deal with them. They terrorized the mama. But because I'm the uncle and I'm gonna do something good, I'm gonna give the job to I'm gonna help with Johnny get a job as a police officer. Now you know you got this unbalanced fool. You didn't gave a badge to and a fucking gun and the right to kill anybody, mostly us. And you already racist and you teach them racist. So now you didn't gave a racist retard a fucking going I said, retard, I'm

not being politically correct. Is it politically correct when it kill us? You didn't gave a racist, fucking retard a gun and a reason and a getaway, get out of jail, free car to kill. You knew that it was nuts when y'all, when y'all he was a little kid and he was burning the goddamn cat's tail at the stove or going in sticking his mama's wigs in the room on fire. But y'all want to make him a police

officer and release him to the world. We need to stop fanding fount with the people to help do that ship because guess what, stopping at the route and we won't have to deal with it again. I'm gonna adopt me some white kids and grow more black I know what the funk I'm doing. You know what? You know what? These police officers, the captains, the chiefs of Homever. They need to have people that live in the in the city,

don't live outside the city. The police your area, because you know, a long time ago, when you're a policeman, you knew the community, you knew everybody. But see, it's not like that anymore. They get these scary as little white boys and they put them in the projects. They're already are afraid of us, you know, and then they get to shoot. You know, somebody is mentally ill. We do have mental illness in the black community. They don't

think so. They think we just thugs. Seeing when they kill up a whole bunch of people because they sexually frustrated, he was having a bad day. But when black people do it with some thugs, we weren't raised. We were with my fathers and our mama's. You were raised in them in a group homes. He is always an excuse when they're gonn kill up a group of people. We're gonna shoot one of the two people, but we don't kill go to them, uh Mazaris Paula and kill people

that don't do nothing to you nothing. So this world got life send bullshit twisted. Yeah, they got it like this, This United States of America, these laws, these these congressmen's, these senators, they don't do a goddamn thing on the Republican side and the Democrats sound, which is why we have to start voting at a lower level because the asses out on the city level. Then you work your way off. Girl, I'm too much fire today. I'm sorry. I'm going home tomorrow, so I'm full of to day,

I'm two week great, so I'm rid of. How are your parents? How are your parents? As they took the scene, they they are good. I'm going to see them tomorrow, So me and my dad are gonna have us some big crawfish tomorrow. So i can't wait. So I'm excited. But I'm gonna say this and I'm not I'm gonna stop throwing so much fire. There's nowhere in the world I'm going off subject that the the leaders in Georgia you passing out water the people, and that's against the law.

A bunch of clansmen. You're a bunch of clansmen. They don't pay back. They're still man because they the term George Georgia blue. But that's how it's up to Congress. In the Senate, though, they need to pass this new voting rights bill that they're trying to craft. So that's the only way that's gonna get overturned. You're a bunch of clans and you're a bunch of your bunch of racist boust Well, thank you, don We appreciate you as always. I'll be in a great state of Texas in the morning. Okay,

safe travels. Tell that government, tell the government Texas down there. I say to knock it off down thank you, John. By y'all, it's a tangle way where we are. Don't you gotta go out? Okay? And we talked about this is why we love our flame mats seriously, because everybody has uh an opinion about the different things that to happening right now and don't always have an opportunity to sound off and join. You know, we got the smartest listeners on the internet. I say that every day. You know,

we were talking about Congress. Uh, Lauren, should we segue into Kamala Harris, who has been given a lot of responsibility. Uh it looks like a calm less profile in my opinion, is really rising. I have some thoughts about this, okaying, negative nothing negative, not I'm not lighting anybody on fire. No, no, no no, I'm not doing that. I honestly think one, I'm glad that Joe Biden is giving her some of

these major crises to handle. Um, I think it's only going to help to build her political career because I honestly think Joe Biden is not sure if he's going to run for re election. I know that they had a press conference a couple of weeks ago, and somebody brought that up, and a lot of UH contributors on different networks were like, why would you ask, you know,

are you going to run for reelection? And of course Joe Biden said yes, But I'm not totally convinced that he's gonna want to run for re election at eighty two years old. I know that this was his lifelong dream. This is something he's you know, finally been able to do.

But I think part of the strategy is in the event that he doesn't want to run, he's giving COMMLA so many things to build her foundation and her platform on to say, as vice president, look at all I've done, and this is why I'm qualified to be the leader of this country. That's how I feel. Who if you think they may, if you think they mad now that Kamala Hair has become President of the United States, good God, they're gonna start kicking their kids. Jesus help with That's

what I think. I think they're they're trying to They're trying to plan for two different strategies. I really do. And y'all know I'm gonna vote for my soreroar. So my what is my conspiracy theory about? That? I love the Kamla is getting a little more juiced because Kamala I've always said, even when I was not team COMMLA for president, that she was smart enough not to take a knife to a gunfight. She will go toe to toe with these foods, and she is ready for that part.

But this country is it's a real funny actor and a lot of this stuff is looking so public to me. That's my own conspiracy theory. Y'all can fight me if y'all want to. A Lauren, I ain't gonna agree with me. I know that, But I believe that we see so

much of this happening. What is what is biding in seventy seventy two days, all of these shootings, and well, I believe that they are putting people up to that I know this sound crazy, so that they can say in two when it's time for the preliminaries that the country was safer under Trump's watch even though we were having shootings, it wasn't as publicized as it is now.

They're really embarking on Joe Biden being the president and looking at all these shootings that's happening while he's in office, so that it will look like a lot of this stuff happened up under his watch as opposed to Trump's watch. Understand me that there is a method to the madness. And I need you all to register vote, especially people in Georgia. Y'all can't let this bill go get past. Y'all got to get out and do this, because that's

taking us back to the dark ages for real. We got to get make sure that we do not let another republic Looking get in office and until we get at least two terms from two Democratic presidents, whether they be Biden, Harris or Harris and somebody else after her, because if the Republicans get back in, because they're grasping at the last little thing, they're trying to hold on to the last little piece of it, to the last little piece of power, the power is leaving fast. Well

I'll say two things. Well, I don't totally disagree with you. Um, I think that I don't totally disagree with you. I don't because that that, in a sense maybe a part of their whole strategy. Because Democrats are all about what we need gun reform, We need gun reform, but the n r A is you know, bankrolling the GOP, so that may be one of their strategies. I think it's a stupid strategy considering all of the violence and chaos that was created with only in the four years that

Trump was there. I don't think that's a very smart strategy, but I don't totally disagree with that's part of maybe of what the thought process of how we can make Joe Biden look bad. Um. So, yeah, I don't totally disagree with you on that. I will say too, though, I think what we need to pay attention to IST four.

But there's also two. Two is really going to be a pivotal year in Georgia specifically, and that was part of the reason why this New Modern Day Um Jim Crow bill was passed because Brian kemp seat is up next year and so is uh Senator Warnox So getting a new govern oh and also Keisha lands Bottom, the mayor's seat is up too, So those are three just truly crucial seats that are gonna be up for reelection.

And if y'all are making sure that black people and people of color can't go out and vote, you're gonna get those Republican seats backs. You're gonna flip the Senate back. So that way, it's not gonna Kamala is not gonna have control anymore. She's not gonna be that split vote. It's truly going to be a fifty fifty Senate even with her voting um the way she wants to vote, whether it's with the Democrats, she can't split any ties. And in terms of the mayor and the governor, who

knows what's gonna happen with that. So next year is going to be a serious u turning point for Georgia to see if they stay purple or if they're going to go back to being red. Yeah yeah, what whether Before we get off the subject, but since we own all of this, what do y'all think about the guy what was his name, Noah Green, that drove his car through the capital before yesterday? Yesterday? What was it? He was a black He apparently supposed that he was a

black guy and they would then. So now here's another conspiracy of mine, because y'all do know that I love uh uh conspiracy theory. I love Elijah Mohammed. I love the teaching of Elijah Mohammed. I do. And I'm not a Muslim, But when I hear how he speaks about black men and the empowerment of black women and how you're supposed to adore your family. I hear him talk about family, black community, and he says black. I don't know if he's antelling anything else, but I do know

that he's pro black, and he pushes family. He pushes the black man to be the strength and the backbone of the family. Woo woo. So he keeps it on that even though he's always said to respected women they're trying to push off to say that this guy was going off of the teaching and the anger and the racism of Elijah Mohammed is why he did that. I ain't gonna believe that all these years, ain't nobody drove Throughlijah Mohammed has said some things that would shake and

bake the country, but nobody has ever done that. That's bullshit to me. I don't believe that. And the and the nigger drove of his thing with with a knife. Again, you don't take a knife to a gunfight. You're gonna draft through the Capitol with a knife and no gun. You know what's waiting on you. I don't disagree with that. You know what was waiting on him, Derek Chauvin because he dad, George Floyd ran Derry Chauvin and he dad. I'm calling those police officers that shot that man, Derek Schouvin.

I know y'all missed that over that went over y'all here, But I was I was meaning ship if that was if that sounded mean, it was meant to be glory. I mean, I don't totally disagree with that. I think that there's it's gonna be interesting to see a lot of situations of what was the the intention or where

did this come from? You know what I mean? So to have and everybody knows that on the heels of us having these discussions about white terrorism in America and how they've become the biggest threat to us in terms of terrorism, and then all of a sudden, you have, you know, this black man that's driving through you know, trying to drive through a police barricade at the Capitol and he's black and he did it because a larger Mohammed said it's him. It does make me raise an eyebrow.

I'm not gonna lie um. I am sometimes be a bit of a conspiracy theorist, but it's timing is always interesting to me. And I don't believe that anything is a coincidence. I'm just not. I don't believe that. Can we get rb F from your place? Why the man they said that he drove through there? Can we get rb F from you place? Just give it to the audience. Why do you want me to do that? I want RBF place. Y'all know what rb I remember what she said, RBF was, what's rb F? Nicholas resting, bitch face? Can

we get rb from nilas? Do you have an rb Let me give it you? Let me give you my rb F from how they said this was when a conspiracy, that's the if they get you at the webfire office when they give your e b T card that day, but they tell you're gonna meil you depend up in two weeks, bitch, don't give me eb T car on thousand dollars on and then I ain't got to pend On. If you don't know, I'll be that thing just making

up combinations. You are ridiculous, Well, Sela, because flame didn't you also get a call this week, Uncle Sam, your favorite people. You know you love the military name. You're gonna sit my water on that note. So Friday I got a phone call from some branch of the military. It was it was from some officer in the Marines. It was a Marine Corps officer and uh, He's like, hello, can I speak to Jamaricus? And and he called my phone because Marks had his own phone. I said, well,

who was calling? He said, this was whatever? He said his name was from the from the Marine, from the Marine Corps. I said, what are you calling my son for? I said, this is his dad. What are you calling JaMarcus for? He says, uh, well, we're reaching out. We're going through the records and we're at the school that side tour right now, and we see your son has an impeccable record. We'd like to know if he would be interested in all the opportunities that the military can

afford him. And I said absolutely not. And he says, excuse me. I said, I will not let my son join the military. We are in the time of war, we are in crisis. I would never let my son join the military while we're at war. And he says, I'm sorry, said, but the country is not at war. I said, turn the news on, watch the Derek Chauvin trial. We are a country at war. Black man at war with this country, with with through the police, and just through all this racism. No, my son will never join

the military while we're already fighting. And I reminded him of the Muhammad Ali speech at Mhammad Ali said, why would I go fight the Via Khan in sixty eight or sixty nine when I can't get a fair shake here as a black man. I'm fighting you all when I'm gonna fight viet Coon. Ain't need nothing to me. Y'all doing it to me, y'all the reason I can't get alone or get a home, or can't start the business, or can't get a decent job or getting good get house.

And so I always I hit that man with all that. He said, I'm sorry, I wasted your time. I said, actually, you didn't waste my time, sir, you wasted Joane, because my decision was gonna be the same. No matter what this our conversation would he hung up on me. It was a good conversation. That Beach won't call back the army. The neame of them. He wants. He wants to serve a few good men. Send them to me. I serve them, but my son won't. I guarantee my son will never

join this military. I'm not trust in the country, vaccine shots and nothing else. Let me don't do that, because there we go, Uh, what happened? Because you'll want to talk about that. No, I I agree with you, and I think that can be the lead into a story that I had brought up to you and Nick. I know it's old, but I think that it kind of attests that it's not that old. But I'm saying it's kind of the case has been dismissed, but I think it,

you know, it is. It's a good segue to talk about the six year old boy that was on his way to school in North Carolina. He literally picked a tulip before getting on the school bus. This white neighbor called the cops and he was arrested. Okay, a flower, a flower, a flower, m hm. And he was charged with destruction of property. Of real property for picking this tulip, just trying to go to school. He was six years old.

Neighbor called the police. He was arrested, and they actually put this boy on trial, and it was just sad to read the reports of him sitting there with the defense attorney and he's six. He couldn't follow the proceedings of what was happening, and his legs were just swinging up from the floor and they had to give him a coloring book because he couldn't follow what was happening because he was too young to comprehend, like, why am I on trial for picking a tulip on my way

to school? And I mean And eventually the judge, once he understood the facts of what happened, he dismissed the case. But it's calling for a lot of people are calling for reform in North Carolina and Derham specifically, because how do you even let it go that far that you really come out and arrest this little boy because he wanted to pick a flower on his way to school? How do you do that? Completely agree? I completely agree, and I think, um, now here's what's funny. I am

gonna say this. I do have friends who are serious about their lawns, and I've known people who are, like, really, they put a lot into it. I have one friend who gets upset when he sees neighbors let dogs go on his lawn. I'm like, it's outside. He's like, no, absolutely not. I wouldn't do it on somebody else's law. Don't do that. Don't destroy my property. So I do know people who kind of see flower beds as a thing of beauty and all that. I'm not one of them.

I live in an apartment, you know that, So it's not my thing. But I do know that there are people who are kind of serious about, uh, the aesthetics of their yard and the and the and their agriculture and their the ornamental horticulture of it all. So I do know that there are those who are serious about it. What I don't understand is like, um, that and now it's also had I done it when I was growing up? I think Mrs Johnson when it came out, maybe slap me.

Told my mom, now you can't do that because you've got parents like flame, did you hit my child? You know what I'm saying. So I don't know what you do. Do you call the police do you not what do you do in that situation? I think it's the larger question. You see someone damage the property, you don't want to hit somebody else damage. I'm trying to say, but I'm you losing me on a fucking flowers. We talk about a flower baby. I don't give a funk how much

you love your yard. It's a the process of them putting a six year old baby, black baby, through all of that foolishness and then trying to make him look dumb because you gave him a coloring book and a crayon. He was not supposed to pay attention. That's not something that even supposed to happen in his little young life at six years old. Whoever, whoever owns that garden and that ain't know about a goddamn guarden, moved to a goddamn island where you ain't got to worry about nobody

else coming to funk with your garden. Because this is what kids do. They see pretty things, oh pretty. He might have went and picknic because he thought it was beautiful. He might have picked it because it was interesting to him. But I'm not gonna give them a pass because they so ain't know about their garden and whoever arresting him, the arresting officers, the prosecutors, anybody who even wrote up this trial. Is this all bullshit? It's fucking bullshit. I

said it. Tell North Carolina to call me. I'm coming there anyway. And and Nick, I'll say this, I understand. You know, we want to go the whole people are antal about their yards. This little boy wasn't running through the yard with his feet kicking up dirt and grass and turning stuff over. He wasn't doing that. He was literally going to school and just picked the flower. And it wasn't even the owner who called the police. It

was a neighbor. I totally hear you. I'm just saying I think I think that that was probably better than her putting their hands on that child, because I think that could have escalated it had I'd hate to see what might have happened had they went out and just slapped him like we used to do back in the day. They don't do that anymore. So I don't know what nobody nobody would have slapped me or my keys because

let me, I'm understanding that. I'm simply saying this. I think that there are some who do take destruction of property seriously. I'm not one of them, and I'm not I'm not advocating that. I'm just saying that when you see someone vandalized the property, I think it's better to call police than to put your hands on that child. I don't know what else you do in that situation. I don't think it would have been okay for them to hit or touch that child. That's vandalism. Picking a

flowers vandalism. Destroying property that's not yours is definitely vandalism. And I mean that's not even that's not the question. I think what we're asking is what should have happened in this situation? Right, we shouldn't let that baby go to school. It's not a big deal that he picked the damn flower before. He don't don't pick my flowers out of my garden anymore, young man, don't come over this way no more, and just let that baby go that That is how we would have resolved this. But

I would have called. If you had the call police, they should have requested to have. Could you send me a seasoned officer, please, very season years on the fourth to come and handle this, because they seem to have a different temperament. They seem to know how to de escalate a real situation. Stop giving crazy Johnny or the little slow Richard, and that was in your family that

you helped get this job. Back to that something again and call him to hear because you're gonna take it out on my baby that you can intimidate, that you can be aggressive to because they don't understand. They see a police badge, they're supposed to respect it because that's how they were raised. Send a bit, let me pick a flower. But this is what this is what this is my opinion, This is what I think should have happened.

Because if this person was that anal about a damn flower being picked out of a garden, if it was that series that neighbor that picked up the phone to call the police, you should have walked your ass across the street, gone to the bus driver and said, hey, I saw one of these kids that just got on the bus. They picked the flower out of my neighbor's garden.

He really shouldn't do that, can you please? I just need to know if he has a parent or something with school he attends to, because I think this needs to be addressed you don't pick up the phone and call the cops. You just like, that's just not necessary. Hell, if anything, that ladies should have been cited for. What happens when you call the ambulance and you actually don't

need it, you have to pay that? Yeah, that's what that should have been a false alarm that that uh, that that neighbor should have had to pay because that's just not necessary to do. And if you really feel that adamant about something, there's other ways that you can do that, especially if you're in a small community. Everybody damn near knows each other. You probably even knew the parent or something there. There was other things that you could have done there. True, but we agree under no

circumstances do you touch that child. Though we agree with that, not unless you want to die of slow death. Wish you would touch my right right, I got parents. But you know what, let's let's since we're talking about kids who do bad things, let's talk about the teen girls in d c Um the thirteen and fourth year. We talked about this a little bit last week, Um because you know, we we've had this, we've gone back and forth before. Like I do believe some teenagers are are redeemable,

Like I don't believe you throw up. But we were talking about you know, we talked about Kyle Rittenhouse and we're like, no, Nick, lock them up. Thirteen and fourteen. I almost feel like there's something else going on in their life. Uh that uh, that gets you to a point that you're using a taser and and and leading to someone's death. That I have to believe that there's room for redemption. I don't know how I feel about that, because I think if you were bold enough to taser man,

and I mean I never wanna. You never know somebody's circumstance. So I don't know what the intent behind it or the reason why they did what they did. But y'all still broke the lawsuit. You can go to jail line home. And then when we go with this kid, you're going

to the Audie Home. When he was bad, you went to the Audie Home and the center they I mean, I hope I will say that they better not try to uh prosecute those two girls as adults, because you know, the two the teen girls were charged with murder carjacking of an Uber driver. The girls thirteen and fifteen assaulted sixty six year old Muhammed Anwar who immigrated from Pakistan

and to make a better life for his family. They attacked him with the taser while car jacking him, which led to an accident in which he was fatally injured. Both girls are being charged with murder. They killed somebody. They should be bottom line, we can't. And that's the thing. It's like, this is when I say the law should be applied equally across the board, even though it's not. Because are these two girls black. I don't even knows. And I'm sorry you committed a crime. You need to

go do the time. But the thing is, the system is always going to be rigged against us. So I guarantee you that these two girls are going to either be tried as an adult or get at least ten to fifteen years, maybe even twenty because it's murder, first degree murder, probably that they're going to be charged with.

So and like you said, then there's somebody like a Kyle Rittenhouse who intentionally went across state lines to shoot people at a black Black Lives Matter protest and he's out on bill and you got freaking House representatives in Florida saying that he should run for for Congress. So the system is definitely rigged against them. Did they do something wrong? Absolutely? Should they be charged for what they did, absolutely, but they're going to have to do a larger bid

because of it, and because of who they are. You have to wonder what kind of lives they live to at thirteen and fifteen to have enough nerve to do something so outrageous. What kind of trauma have they been through? And there and they're living arrangement or who have been touching them inappropriately? You know, you don't know all the story. It's a lot going on. Does that give them a right to go out and do horrible things? Absolutely not,

absolutely not. But they're at such a young, vulnerable age that hopefully somebody will get them proper counseling and talk to them so when they do get out, they can become productive citizens in society. Whatever that's going to mean in the thirty forty years that they're gonna get because they're gonna get some time. We don't know if Derek Showing gonna get none, but those girls gonna get some

time for real. And they might be charged as adults too, so they might be going to you know, prison, prison, not just you know, a jailed attention center type of situation. They're gonna end up going to prison. So, young ladies, I just want to say this to you, young ladies, look at my ignor that if you've never been with a woman before, you might pull a niss nash. I'm just saying. And on that note, Lord, I think it's

one of those things we h we we have. We have literally covered a little bit of everything, and I want to thank everybody again for constantly sending us topic ideas.
