Just before we got started, we have to acknowledge and the condolences of somebody that Lauren absolutely adores this song and I love this. A different song is called Sam. We want to acknowledge the passing of Oliving Newton John so many movies, such a gorgeous woman, beautiful singer,

hopelessly devoted in your grief. My song is Sam. It's a song and another song that she sings with Christopher Cross and it's called I can't think of the name of it, but y'all look it up. Ship. I ain't had to add a well yet, but it always coming. Uh So, Yeah, we're acknowledging that seventy three years old breast cancer. Ladies, Ladies, I'm not even a woman, but I have breasting plans. I have to get Mamma grams. Ladies, please go and get respectable mammograms if you go to it.

If you feel something in your breast that doesn't feel right and you go to a doctor and they tell you it's nothing and you still feel like it's not right, go to another doctor and get another opinion. If that would tell you samething, then go to another doctor. It's okay to question your doctors. It's okay to ask questions about your body, because that's your body. These titties ain't real. But if I have a lump or something i'm I'm like, is a silicone? Is a hamburger? You know? I need

to know? Yeah, you know, I don't know what get caught up in there. When they fixed it on boch and they opened it up, it was all kind of gummy bears and everything up in the tent. Oh my god, your birthday is August. That's my daughter. Don't say it with so much pride, her Selfish. It's good God, I thank you, Selfish. But we're glad you're here, and we're glad to be here with you. I put the makeup on for y'all today, and the people we all talking

about your your excursion in Venas last week. I know you worked, but you did some other stuff outside of work. I mean I did, um, not too much. I didn't zip line. No, I was scared. I was scared. But I did ride the roller coaster in New York, New York, which was fun. That dropped at the first drop. I didn't remember it being that long. So but yeah, I had fun. I had fun, And um, what else we do? I actually went to the John Legend concert. OK. Yeah, and it was, you know, John Legend, kind of random.

But I really appreciated his production. It's a good show and he can actually sing. He's a great he's live, so it was a great show. Oh yeah, we did lose Bill Russell this week, the passing of Bill great man, great humanitarian, excellent athlete. Speaking of athletes, before we get to the show again, pray us for Brittany Grant and the BS that they had. Shout out to Booty for speaking up and having encouraged to say something. And Summer Walker, did you see what she posted? No? I didn't. She

compared the cases. Um, there was a white woman named Audrey. I forgot her last name, and she was actually had seventeen grams of THHC coming through the Russian airport. She was detained for two months and she was fined I think fifty rules and thousand rubles. I saw there, okay, and she was let go, whereas Brittany has been sentenced to nine years in prison and find one million. So I'm telling you is everywhere. But I strongly believe that he got a phone call, so I we don't even

do that. Yes, also, um um. Michelle Nichols died one of the first beautiful, most beautiful black friend to ever be on TV in the sixties when it was unheard of for us not to be on TVs as slaves or maids. She had a starring role or Sue and I love the back story they talked about that after she passed that she was going to leave there to go do something, some other job, and Martin Luther King convinced her to stay on the show because it was a great representation of black people in a positive way

at that time. So that was one You just never know who knows who and who helps who. The black The black skin has hated everywhere. The black skin is hated. Because me and Lauren don't agree on this but America has made every other nationality think that they were better than black folks. America. Don't agree on that, because when I said that last time, you said, I don't know if I agree with that, but I think that America had a very big hand in making everybody else think

that we were inferior to everybody. I wish a bitch would make me think I was in my nasty uh huh, Okay, what we're gonna So we're gonna start off with the Hodgepodge before we get into the scary this week, the shot and p Valley you don't watch you take? I started with the shots and Laura, don't start watching the shot. The shot. First of all, this whole season is about love. I'm absolutely loving what they're bringing to the table is

laying away y'all killing it over there. But all these actors are so good, good baby, they and they are taking all these different components with the pregnancies and the drugs and people changing something from being thugs and being something else. And Luke James still like his trans women. He's still like his trans women. Now you know, I love Luke James. I love Luke James. Two. But girl, if Luke Luke James. The last two movies have been

playing with trans women. That's interesting, jument no judgment, but that's just interesting, no judgment. He's a good looking black man. So the show is doing excellent. If you guys have not watched the show, please watch the show. Now we got to get to the other show that I found in the Valley down. First of all, before we get started, let me give a great shout out to my woman and husband at the same time, which is Gil being called Gil Roulette. I am in love with you, baby.

That thing put that gun to that man in mouth and put it to his head. And I'll tell you right now, I was walking through the house hard and with at the same time. You just gonna figure that without But I'm just like, you know, oh my god, that turned me on. The show is cool. It has depth and that I wasn't expecting because, if anything, my dad watches p Valley too, and he was like, I originally watched this just for the strippers. He was like, now this is getting very deep, and it really is.

You're seeing, you know, the different journeys of the characters and it's just the storyline is its deep and can we talk about the acting acting, it's fantastic. Yeah, the writers. Everybody giving the acknowledgment to the writers and shows would not be good at the right. But these people are delivering what it's been written for them and they are making us believe it. Baby, let me tell you something. I know you'll kill a big teeth, but Big Teak

should be nominated for award. Uncle cut Big Teeth was great. Well, if I think the fact that they even touched on mental health is just so important, especially in our community. And it's like you gotta cast pretty much of all black people with the exemption of um oh boy who runs drugs, but it's mental health is so important right now between the pandemic and just it feels like we're

in a you know, an apocalypse at this time. So the fact that they even took the time to talk about it and a black man suffering from serious mental health issues, just kudos to Quator Hall and all of the writers because it's just it's so important to have these conversations. And my boy Niko and who I met very recently, y'all, just Uncle Clifford is killing it. When he gets to that cemetery and broke down cram for his mom. Oh my god, I felt, I'm telling you,

I felt that that was whoa. Everybody's good, every baby, Brandy, the young Brandy, wonderful Autumn, just and miss Mississippi. I agree with what um, what's your lst girlfriend name? Whisper whisper what she said? Miss Mississippi might be the prettiest bitch I've ever seen in my life. That's a lovely, lovely one. She No, she ain't gonna taking something, let me get, but that's still it's beautiful to me. She's gorgeous and her name is Shannon Thornton. I gotta give

her kudos for the pole. The way that she actually does it on the pole is so I thought it was a double no, that's her, come on, and just like when Brandy gets on the pole, Mercedes, that's her. Where we saw that was Mercedes last week, the most fat fast I said, okay, round now versus Mercedes. No, but that's her swinging on him pole and doing all those tricks. I gotta give her coudos off of this because the white boy that's playing the killers be now

as I love him too. But I'm gonna tell y'all who my new favorite characters outside of my wife Gail Bean, which is Roulette, Baby the Mama that's running from me. I love episode. Harry and Defoy is killing not working on the pole. Baby the Mama is funny to me she is working that role? Or was she so believable? I know black women like that? And she said, Oh that's somebody's like that's where Mercedes gets it from. Oh yeah, I'm no black women like that. She said, I was

a hole. I hold so y'all wouldn't have to and whle so you can fly. Hats off to everybody that's involved with p Valley and the Patrick and Poke umtr Hall, who's her show? Whoever passed on this show, producer wise and whatever, because I'm waiting for season three. They need to renew this. I'm on the way it ended yesterday and I know next week is the last episode. I'm sure that. I'm pretty sure that there's too many unanswered questions. And I want to say that because we're still waiting

to see what happened with Star. I love that show too. I don't know you watched it. I love that. I love that more than I loved Empire. But it all disappeared. Yeah, because Daniel couldn't get picked up. Somebody wanted to go to subway at two o'clock in the morning. Anyway, let's so we get into the heavy now heaven. Okay, we're gonna leave the politics for last. I feel like let's start with the car crash, the crazy crazy. Yes, so it's been it's been a few a couple of car

crashes this week. One that was very tragic happened here in l A on the bra and Slauson And the young lady's name was Nicole Linton l I N T O N. She was thirty seven years old. She's a nurse and apparently the story is allegedly that she had gotten to a big altercation with a boyfriend and she was an emotional wreck and driving at top speed on

the main thoroughfare. If you unfamiliarly with the thorough phrase is because young, it's a street, it's a main street, and she just shot through the red light like it was nothing and killed how many people, six people, including a pregnant woman who was like six or seven months pregnant and her baby. The car. Now, mind you, this woman who did the driving and cause the altercation survived. She lived. When she ain't find she lives, She got

an a million dollar bond. She ain't going nowhere, and streaked through this red like emotional upset and this hit this car and then the car just ricocheted to some other and they went into the gas station and they incinerated. And if it sounds graphic, but if you look at it on land, it is very graphic. So if you cannot handle it, I'm pre warting you do not look at it because it is real, real, scary and real.

And it happened. That happened. That fast driving is already precautious, but driving in l A Is a different thing because you're not driving for you. You draft for other people here. And the scary thing is, I told you I take that way to go home when I have to go to work in Hollywood. When I come back home to apply this to know, that's the way that I go. I go in that intersection. And I have another coworker that lives in Baldwin Hills, which right next door. He

goes through that same intersection. And just growing up like that was just where we went, you know. I went to parties over on Slawson and everything else. So the fact that it happened there, like that's an infamous gas station. Like if you're from l A, you know that gas station. So the fact that it happened there is just so scary because so many of my friends live over there. Inglewood is not far from there. It's just a main street sauce in the brayer where people go simply wholesomes

right there. Love, y'all, y'all know my y'all know my take on love. But I'm telling you, when you and I when you are an emotional state, I do not think that you should drive a car or operate any kind of machinery because love will flip you. For real. Look, and I'm telling you what I know. I ain't telling you what I heard. Love will make you do some things that you that love you blind. For love is one of the truest statements ever. So whatever she was

going through, it was not worth all of this. Now she has to live with this guilt the rest of her days because somebody upset her over a relationship. I don't know the nature of the relationship, but good God, I'm telling you I don't fool with love, Lauren. I'm waiting on you to give me. I can come to the with the right. Another another tragic where it wasn't tragic nobody dad but and hate the actress and hate they used to be married to Allen another corcs. Then

I think this is like her second caracters there. That's crazy. She's not in jail. I don't know. I think they. I think that they did say that there was an alcohol involved. I think I read that she should really be in jail. She is this color, Okay, makes sense. You see that, y'all, y'all, she is this color that I know right, That means she can build for that nine hundred thousands. When you got that a hundred thousand four? Are you gonna give her a million dollars? Because I

wouldn't want to do that out. You know, it's about four or five families that's mad. It's hell and her, including the husband and the baby daddy of the woman she murdered. Because I hate to say that it was hot, but if they considered vehicular homicide that it is still murder. Homicide is murder. Yeah, that's for six people, So that's at least six counts she's facing. And then she she didn't even like like Laurence said earlier, we were talking

about it earlier. She went through the red like like it was green, like like it was just screen behind us. She just barrewed through it. It was Oh Jesus, I'm telling you, it's crazy, and another altercation with an automobile. Four Muslims were murdered, were killed. I'm gonna say murdered, were killed in New Mexico by police officers. I don't know the basis of the whole story, Lauren, but I'm sure you know more than I do. Well, I know it's a developing story, and I saw it on the

news today. Um, they don't know if it's a hate crime per se. They're they're being very ambiguous about it. But the fact that it was for Muslims is obviously going to make national news. But I will say, on a brighter note, though, Travis McMichael received a second life sentence today from murdering rmart are Y. Yeah, but it was a federal hate cramp. So does that mean they're gonna put him in feed joint? So no, So that

was the thing. They actually put in a request for him to serve the rest of his time in federal prison. The judge denied his request because the family was just like, we don't feel like it's fair that he gets to decide, you know, where he gets to serve his prison sentence. It's like he's still you know, he doesn't get to make that decision. So the family, I said, absolutely no, he need absolutely not excuse me, he needs to serve

in state prison. The judge denied his request, and I think they're going to do the same thing for his father, um, George McMichael. So yes, but they're they've all been found guilty again, so they're pretty much all s say vengeance his mindses the lord. They offered him life plus ten years. I need y'all fellas up in jail to have at it. And it's the Georgia's Georgia State prison too, lots of lots of brothers. I need him to have a bag

for the rest of his life. And if you don't know what that means, didn't get out of this conversation. The word is colost to meet him, get him. Yeah, They're like they're very concerned for his safety being in a state prison. Should have been more concerned about the young black man that was just jogging in his own neighborhoods, his safety, and his attorney to something there to talk about his fingernails and toes being dirty. That's probably one part of that trial that I could never get over,

because you remember, you was angry. I was so pissed. So I'm happy the mcveige is gonna have a whole lot more dirty once they get to them state pen attentions again, y'all like the plenty of black men. And and remember the father had been in office of what twenty five years? This was the only murder that he got caught for. Let me say that one more time. This was the only murder that he got caught for. Hi, Rodney Perry, what's up, my boy? Ridey comedian Rodney Perry?

Why Rodney Rodney is a great free of them man, fantastic comedian, great father all daughters. I pray for you all the time, right, God, I pray for you all the time. And yeah, don't I want to get back to Britney Grinder, because you made me really really researched what I said about Britain, Because in the beginning I was like, girl, you knew that to go you should have heard that in another hole. But I didn't know that she was going over there consistently to play basketball.

And here's another thing I want to blame America for. If, if if sports was a little more fair. I ain't gonna say it has to be on equal playing terms because the NBA brings in't way more money than the w NBA does. But if y'all play these pay these athletes at least close to a living ways, that would be better than they should be making. They wouldn't have to go to other countries in the off season to

make money to make to make ends meet. You know, I'm not pointing the finger blame at the at the United States, but this woman was going over there every year consistently. If you look at her pictures on her Instagram page, she she was a beacon of light. The messages that her teammates have put out about her, this woman was love and this woman was joy. But when you see her when they interview her and in Russia,

she looks petrified. I mean, I would be too, like if you say the wrong thing, they're gonna cut on the condition. I don't know, yeah, I don't know what kind of circumstances she and but I think that it is not good for her. Well. I think the other thing too is you're in another country and you don't

speak the language. So she even said that too. During her trial, when she was first, you know, brought to court, her court appointed attorney didn't even explain everything to her, and that she was actually pleading guilty, like they didn't explain it to her. She said, they just had me sign something. She kind of gave me half of what was actually being said. So I didn't even fully know

what was going on. So to be in a place where you can't understand what the prison guards are saying to you, what your attorney is saying to you, that's very scary, and you're hoping that the President of the United States actually does something to save you. She might be there for a few more years, we don't know. Well, hopefully they would swap out. They want they want to do a swap. They want somebody from over here, y'all give them to him. But I think that was the

plan all along. And remember I just said that the first time on the show. I think that was the plan. Is that when she went through security, they found the THHC Cartridges, they ran who she was. They said, oh, yeah, we gotta get her. We're arresting her. And the scariest part was, you know when you were part of the Congress, were you part of anything with the government. All those people knew that the war was coming when Putin was

setting it up, so they got out of there. I don't know if Britney Grinder had that information that they had at the same time, because they have different intail than we have, and because they would have told her girl get out. They all Americans get out now. But we don't know how that went down. So because I don't know if there's a security wing to the w n b a UM, but I will say even for the company that I work for, we do have a

security ahead of security on a global front. So I remember we were talking about going back into Haiti and he was like, absolutely not, you guys can't go because they were like talking about bombing the embassy. So I don't know what the protocols are for the w n B a UM. Considering so many of your players do go overseas to play, I would hope that you would have something to protect them, but it's giving she wasn't

giving the heads up. That's how I feel and shout out to um for Boots again before for just speaking up. Silence is complicity, and I'm telling you he was insided. I've seen the post where some some other side said, stay in your lane. You don't even know what you're

talking about. Booty is in his lane. And as much as y'all want to sell and we all say and Booty have said some disparaging things, but here's the thing Brittany Grinder identifies as l g B t q I A plus for y'all to say that Booty is against l g B t q I A plus. He spoke up for a woman, and not because she was lgbt t q I A. He spoke up a hub because she was a woman. She's a black woman, she's American, she's somebody's sister and daughter. A lot of lebron spoke

up the young lady. But a lot of people are quiet because they're afraid of what happened with Colin Kaepernick. They're afraid of losing their positions and losing it. If we stand together as a fist, fingers don't hand no weight, but the fist is way stronger. But everybody is afraid of losing their situation. Everybody afraid of being cancel. This is where the cancel culture has put us. Now, we're

afraid to speak up Martin. Luther King said that the silence is complicit, you know, and might won't worry about who was smashing everybody else. He was trying to help us with civil rights. He I gonna talk about who was smash anybody? Cause you know, Martin was getting to the Martin from state to state, city, city, town, the town, and we still love him. So are we gonna get to the I feel like we can make this an

overall theme that we can move into. Was talking about voting because there's a lot of primaries going on in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin. We can really talk about Ohio and the jerrymandering. What just happened with the Republican Ohio legislator. How they basically got away with um uh, what's a good way to say. They basically illegally jerrymandered several districts and it was unconstitutional, and they still got away with it because the judge said it was too close to their primaries. So they

basically got away with austin black people from voting. But we can get into that um, since that when you since you brought that up Arizona, just that the Republican nominee just got it. She just got the nied for Arizona Trump supporter who's also tried to turn the flip the lit about uh that he wanted, yeah, the election,

and he endorsed her and she wants. He did a conference I want to say it was Saturday or Friday, and it was on they headed on Instagram and I was in them comments and I'm sorry, I'm scared to say that these people don't love this man. These people worship this man. They worshiped giving Jim Jones first. It really is. I was looking at the comments lore and I couldn't believe what I was reading. I'm like, yeahall

need my glasses and see what they did. Because when I'm reading, oh my god, he's the greatest, He's the most wonderful. He They praising and praising Trump as if he is the Christ, the second Company. It is. Yeah, I better vote. You better make sure you registered to vote, because I'm telling you is going to be dangerous for us. Yeah. So to get started with that, we're gonna, like I said, the overall theme is voting but I do want to talk about the Inflation Reduction Act of which just passed.

So for those of you asking what is it, um, really quickly, the Inflation Reduction Act of two is a bill proposed for a passage in which it passed already, excuse me, and the dred seventeen United States Congress that aims to curb inflation by reducing the deficit, lowering prescription drug prices, and investing into domestic energy production while promoting clean energy solutions. So this is said to be the biggest bill that has basically passed since Obamacare for healthcare

and ultimately for climate change. It's supposed to reduce our emissions by which is really important considering all the global warming and things that we're seeing today. Um. But it also helps with prescription drugs. It's lowering the price so that way people actually have access to the drugs are need they need. Democrats try to put a cap on

insulin of thirty five dollars. The Republicans said no to that. Um. Only if you are a part of Medicare you can get that cap, but for private insurances you do not get that cap. And you know, insulin can cause some

people like five grand. So this is definitely a big win for Democrats, and this is something that's they're going to basically be running on during the primary to say, look what I you know, look we've done, especially in Georgia because you know Raphael Warnock his seat is up for real, um for election he's running against I believe the gentleman's name is Mark Kelly, if I'm not mistaken, and um, So this is definitely gonna be a key piece that Democrats are going to be running on to say,

look what we've done. In the midst of all the craziness, we were able to pass this. And also two Republicans are going to have to answer for the fact that they didn't want to put a cap on um insulin for everybody. So it's a it's a pretty big deal. It's a pretty big deal. Well, and we're definitely gonna bring her in because I'm curious to see how she feels about okay, and uh and and with Biden Biden this yea, everybody's saying, but I need to bring Britty home.

That is the process. He can't make a phone call and it happens like that. Remember that we were we did have allies, a lot of allies. Because everybody got on the anti Pelosi this week because she went to Korea.

We have to say she is trying to say, salvage the allies that we had that the last administration pushed away because of those people have been allied to the United States for years, but that last one that was in power chased a lot of our allies the way, so we have she is rebuilding bridges that have been burned by somebody else. So y'all come up off Nancy, because y'all know Nancy, my baby, her pample with her.

That's my baby, honey. You love when I said I wish Pampa for real, I wish I do love Nancy Pelows and I love the Nancy. It's not afraid. She stands up and she sees what it is and she gets it done. And it may not always be the right way, it might not even be the right thing, but at least she stands on her principles. Too many of y'all to wishy washing. Yeah, we talked about the

Kansas women. Every woman in this country needs to take the blueprint from the Kansas City women because the Kansas CEA women stood up against that whole role versus way. Now they get to be back on the doctor. They ain't overturning it. But if everybody women have more power because so many men are in prison, well, well it's

the truth. Women really do have a lot of the voting power because if you're on parole, if you're on parole, or if you're on probation, or if you're inconcerated, which all three fall under the same umbrella, you can't vote. A lot of women are in jail, but not as many as men. And women you got the power. Y'all got to get them to stand up and stand with each other. This is your body. I don't want to body tell me what I can't do with my body.

So I'm standing with the women on this because the baby, whether they tim I can't hear my boom my mom. The girls already tell me I'm not a training for am I You're hey, bring in yeah. I I'm curious to see um what she has to say about this Inflation Act bill Um her this way and Joe Biden talking about the Inflation Act. But y'all see just passed a bill where he's going after people for the for the p P p loans illegally, so if you can't prove that you should, you might be in trouble. I

think he's doing that because a monkey pots. Hey Bobby, how are you my good? I'm glad you brought me in with us. I'm all excited. I'm excited about the Medicare um prescriptions giving us negotiating power because even for a hospital, UM, it's super um challenging for us, and to be able to serve our people as well. I'm glad that they lowered, not by a whole lot, just by a couple hundred dollars the Medicare cap. What an individual has to pay, an elderly person has to pay,

that's really big. I'm thrilled to see that the A c. A subsidies will keep going out so for people that are lower income that kind of ride that line. Um, those subsidies were going to go away, taking their access to healthcare away. So I'm thrilled to see for three more years that these people will have access to healthcare and hopefully they get on their feet. Um. I'm excited about all of it. I wish it was a bigger win, but I'll take any win right now. And I do

feel you know, a lot of people are frustrated. I've heard the comments, you know, since you guys have been doing this about the current administration. But I do feel like they're going to work every day, whether they're getting everything that we want, aren't done, They're they're not you know,

out eating the cheeseburger and golfing. That's very true, and I think that's something that we have to pay attention to, is that, you know, when Trump was in office, he was really riding the wave of a lot of things that Obama did so in terms of our economy, so yes, under his administration, things were flourishing, but people try to attribute that to him, and it wasn't him. It was him riding the wave of Obama. So now that Trump is out and he was a terrible president, now Joe

Biden is getting the front of that. Now I'm not saying exactly it's right. So he's trying to undo a lot of the things that Trump did, which ultimately is putting in us in this position where we're saying, like, oh, are we going to go into another recession, which and of course he can't publicly say yes, we're going to because you know, you're going to diminish the hope of the American people. He wouldn't be doing his job if he said yes. But he has to fix what was

screwed up. So and I get that too. Am I so mad about things that he's done? But to your point, he is going to work every day and the fact that he actually got this bill passed or this act pass, I should say, is very important. So I'm upset about other things, like it took him for ever to say something about, you know, versus Way being overturned, other than I'm shocked it took him a while to do something. But this is definitely a positive step in the right direction.

Somebody had the revind by the j ro versus Way. He was on the docket because you'll know, I told you everything minutes he'd be forgetting ship. I told you on the Breakfast Club three years ago, exclaimed I want to see us at seventy eight, when we're working twenty hour days, if we're not going to forget a little ship, Bobby, Bobby, I said as a joke always. But if it came down again and Biden can remember whether they put the pamp on his they hed on his ass, I'm voting

for Biden. I am too, because I think with the mess that he had, I think he's rocking it with what he has to deal with, considering he's got a Senate that is not going to pass anything. You know, he's scraping the ground trying to try and to get anything done for us. And I know that certain groups are unhappy because he wanted you know, they wanted something specifically that's going to go into their pocket or something

that's going to change their circumstance. And he's really trying to be the president for all and and part of that being the lower, lower income and um to middle income people, which a lot of those groups fall into. They just don't see it that way, because the verbiage doesn't come out and say, you know, it's so sad to me to see this frustrating this presidency, this democracy, this America, that they are so frustrated with anything that

Obama touched. They watched that man fifteen times for eight years, and every time they put him in the rents, the only thing they could come up with was that he wore a tan suit. It looks fine, how I loved it. I don't understand the problem and even during that time, though usually the vice president will you know, give you

a little something, Biden during that time had nothing. Either the administration as a whole, there wasn't a lot of there wasn't a lot of anything that was happening or you know, anything that we were you know, like we did with Trump, With Trump and Penson, it was one person was saying some stupid ass thing or the other one was doing something else, you know, um, the whole group. He had people firing on, you know, in a day.

But Daddy basis, if you didn't fire them or they retired or you know, left, it was it was a nutty situation. And that's the interesting point that you just made. You just said that. What did you just say that? Because to me, it's like they're still treating Biden like he's the vice president. That to me, But I think that people that I think that's how they think, right, um. And so yeah, so I I agree with that. I

think that's what they think. So and I also think to to add to that, though, Biden almost had those expectations attached to him of Obama's presidency, and in some ways he's not not. In some ways, in some ways, he's not meeting the mark. So I think that's also to something that he's happened to. It's the different we have to remember though, in the past four years, what's happened. It's a different environment, ladies, it's a totally different environment.

So as the vice president, he was absolutely able to to stretch his hand and go across the aisle and work collaboratively with the both. But after the last ass hack that was in and you know, him bringing up anything that's horrible or or you know, uh, the derogatory towards people like that's the type of vitriol we have, and nobody wants to work together. It's an austen to them, which never it was Us Americans. It was never this divided. And I think that he's coming into he's coming in

with a bigger challenge. Never mind the war in Ukraine, never mind um, you know, the the COVID which you know you started out behind economically, behind the eight ball. The whole country was and shut down. From the love of God, be a president to that, well, girl, I don't say extend your hand, because you know he turned around and extend his hand when nobody you open that door. That's all right, that's all right, but I didn't know

if he's all so um. I turned to be very uh hansy, I'm not Italian, you think I was, but a very handsome one or not um. For the younger people, they probably don't get that, uh they And they saw he turned to shake somebody here and couldn't want to see that person. But him and Baron Trump they're usually they're usual, and that was a good one. I think they get in his ear and then you know there's so don't forget to say I'm gonna good bye to

the prime minister. So he turns around and no, Prime Minister. If I were him, I'd be like Jesus Christ. They already think of old. You're making me look like a fool. Uh Bless his At least he's doing something posit here for the country, and he's trying, and that's exactly what it is. At least he's trying. He is trying, And that was the promise. Before we go back to the beginning. He wasn't saying he was going to shake up the world. He wanted to be everybody's present. He wanted to fix

what was broken and get us back to working. Together. I don't know if he's done the latter part, not from from trying, um, but I think he is trying to fix what's what's broken. Right. See, since you brought up fixing what's broken byby, let me ask you, because you used to be a nurse. Are you worked in the nursing field? Yeah, I'm I'm a hospital administration. Have you and are you? Or is that to INTRUSI if you don't have to answer, if don't want to have you?

Have you? Are? Are you going to take the monkey pox vaccine? Well, we talked about this last week and I and I will take it. I'm a I'm a lemon. I just go. I don't want to. I don't want to get the monkey pox. I told you that there's too much square footage going on here, um, and I don't want to be and I don't want to be down with it, right, So I I will because it's it would be the smallpox. I would take the smallpox vaccine.

I wouldn't have a problem with that because it's already approven. Whatever. The only thing is is that maybe the monkey it will work as well for monkey pox. But the vaccine itself has been out for a little bit so and it's not dangerous. So that's what I need to figure out, because I've heard conflicting stories about that. I've heard that, oh, you can take the smallpox vaccine and it will provide you some protection against monkey pox. But I've also heard

that it's not going to help you at all. It's almost like null and void um. So that that's the other part I need to figure out. And also too, even with the monkey pox vaccine, you need two doses, and there's not enough to fly to to meet to meet the demand. So some places that are administering the um the shot is only going to give you one dose. You're not gonna even get both. So they're telling us still for our hospitalized if if the clinical staff wants to get it, I think they're all set for the

two doses. For administrators, especially that who work at home remotely, like you clearly can see. I'm in my office. Um, I think I probably could get one and then I will have to get the other one at a later time when when it's you know, people that are you know, it took me five years to get in a high school and I didn't go to college. Let me make sure that that had nothing. So you tell me I take one dose, that the top party is protected, but the bottom party can be all bumpy. See, I need

to know which party I think. I think that I think the one does will help you up into a certain time, like I don't know if it's um six months. But that's the question. So if I take the one does, and I'm supposed to take the second dose in thirty days, but I can't get it for ninety days? Am I restarting because the one dose is no more any good? I have to start all over again. It's a good question. I think that is a good question. And this is gonna be a total guest. So I'm going back. Did

you did you get the shingles? Um? Uh? Uh? What happened your wife? I went out the Sorry, okay, okay, that's okay. Did you get the shingles? Back? Sine plane? Is that the pneumon your vaccine? No? No, the one? So you don't get that rash? Okay, So I did, so, so you get one and then within I think it's ninety days, you have to get you have to get your second dose. And this is I'm guessing. This is a guest everybody, so please, you know, don't help me

to it. But if you don't get it within ninety days, let's say you waited six months, you gotta start all over. So my guess is if you wait too long, if they don't produce enough or whatnot. And I don't think it's gonna production because he's already ramped it up. So I think that production isn't going to be a problem.

It's just what's available, you know right now is we're talking on August eight two, right, so um, But I think if you decide that all you forgot about it, the kids were opainting the ass or whatever, and you don't get to it for six months and he was supposed to have it at three, you'll probably have to

start again. I have appointment tomorrow. I haven't made it my man with I want to take the monkey Pops vaccine or not, because if I can't take round two when I'm supposed to, he can give me round two and I just wait for thirty days. If he can't do, I gra sh please do the shingles because there was nothing like it. I have not had it, but I have seen people. It looks like someone has taken a razor blade and strap your belly and oh my god,

and Fantasia has talked about it publicly. Fontasia headed twice. It was all on her neck, all up in her hair. Oh my god, Oh my god, it was she it's your nerve endings. And I had the chicken pox when I was little, but I ain't the stressed me out like that. The only thing stressed me out is Lauren. No, that's not true. You love her. She talked beautifully about you when you're not there, but she's not so great when you're there. She likes to post. I didn't even

see it. I'm sorry. I'm not paying attention here at the Obama You're going to be disrespectful my page. Don't talk about my president on my page. He was the greatest president in my lifetime. If you know a better one than name, thank you. You can't. Yeah, yep, yep, um yeah, no, get to we'll talk to the doctor at least about the shingles. That that's no joke, Bobby. I want to ask you what you think about the

whole Brittany Grinder situation. We needed from a white perspective, and I like you what you wanted, don't say something. I think. I know I'm as Cassie says, I'm double white. Um, I think that. I mean, I'm terrified for her over there. I think it has more to do with her being

American after the war. So the question I had, I don't know if you saw it, Lauren, was you said there was a comparison in those two cases which I found fascinating was the other case post war a pre war because I have a feeling that that's what he's He's looking for any Putin is looking for anything you can get to make it as miserable for the Americans as possible if they were both postwar than this this, I have nothing to say. I'm not sure, but let me look it up. What we're talking. I would love

to see a stand up solidarity from so many celebrities. Uh. And they don't have to be actors and singers and athletes, just everybody who has anybody with power, with power with their voice to stand up and say, hey, let's do

something about this. Because I think if we cause a big funk about it, that it I mean, Biden can do only what he can do, but I think that they would push it harder to get this woman home, because I'm afraid that even though her presentation is big and strong and masculine, that's still a woman that is still biologically a woman who knows what they're doing to this woman. She still has an emotional woman's heart. And mind, you know, absolutely, you don't think there are some big

olga's over there, they're just as high. Was the two pounds more them? Well, I'm sure, but I hate that they have her. She's what is she six to six three? And they get her in this little bit he sail. You can't even stretch out, you know. Now if they keep from Jeff and I used, her basketball career is done. Well, that's over anyway. And not that I'm not worried about her income, and I am. I'm more worried about her life right now. So I want to get her out.

And we heard about one of the offers from the Biden administration. I'm sure there have been many offers. It's just that they're not It's not they're not getting closer, they're not getting what they want. And the Orange Man said last week that she was spoiled and she was entitling. That was disrespectful. I'm telling you, can you imagine. I believe, I believe, I believe that he had a hand in making a phone call and having a hand and he's driving,

he's driving his train. I bet you know when you had said that the first time, I thought, I bet you at least it's been a conversation, and I bet he said exactly the worst that they can do to make Joseph Biden look bad doing his watch as the president. They're going to do it, and not to say that he's failing, but they're going to make they trying to make him look bad. Yeah, so this actually, uh it was pretty word Bobby. This happened in actually and her

name was it. Not that that's big in a different but I think right now because because he's he's really lost it. I mean he's to go in and say, like, you know, I'm gonna take Flame's house is not mine because I want it. I'm coming to take it, and Flames is still gonna have to pay the bills and I'm moving in. That's basically what Putin's doing to Ukraine. He's just beside, he's going in and he's just taken over.

I just think he's lost it, and I think that um they're gonna do anything too, and she is upon and all of us. Um, you know, they're they're making her as miserable as they possibly can. Um. What's the lady's name, Lauren. Her name is um Audrey lordbur She was actually nineteen, and she was intending to distribute um marijuana in Russia. That was the actually she should have got. If she got nine years, that wouldn't have bothered me.

Seventeen Graham's worth of Marigona. First up, even if I was poor, I don't know if I would go to Russia. He's just so crazy right now. I just don't know if I would go to Russia. But she, Britney, was far braver than I would ever be. I'm I'm a candys um, but I do agree we have to get her home. I'm more worried about her life than her working. But I get complaint play um and I hope that he's able to trade somebody and the man. There's a man. There's a he's a newscaster or something, isn't he Or

a photographer that's over there as well. Yeah, there's two Americans that they're looking to swap for um this Russian individual that the US has Basically he has a twenty five year sentence. Um, they're looking to swap him. Swap, make the swap between the two Americans and this Russian man that we have. And mean the reason behind is he was so dangerous that the U S actually went after him and actually detained him in another country and brought him back. Um because they determined that he was

that he was that dangerous. So um, that's who they're looking to swap. Britney Griner and the other journal store. He was a gun runner, right, he had also gun stuff and did did he serve twenty years? Did I read that correctly? Out of the twenty five years something? So we're only giving five away? Yeah, something like that. Yeah, it's it's still a little sketchy, you know. The parameters of his depends exactly. But yeah, supposedly he served the

majority of his sentence already here in the US. That's why they're willing to do a swap with him. Good god, I couldn't even imagine being in that situation. My trains, Oh my god, I can. I can think it twil bitches and'll be like, lead that bitch over here. We don't want to back I can't get you fear the fear because the words. You don't always have to say anything to see the fear. If you watch Rindey grinding when they have her, she looked she was ashen gray.

She looks yes and out of fear. It looked like if you say the wrong thing, you don't know what they would do to her. It is a scary situation. I wish when she does come home, I wish we could get her laugh and learn, baby Oprah, get Oprah, gonna get her yes to oh, if she could even like. I think she's going to be going through a little something the PTSD. I can't even imagine when she's gonna, you know, what's gonna happen to her. She also, I

thought she looked painfully sent to me. Um. Besides looking her, her coloring was just awful. I thought she was really really thin. So I hope she's getting fed. Shout out to her teammates on her basketball team. They may all kind of definitely supported her. They have made all Canada well,

they should support her. So that was a great segue. So, but they should instead of just supporting her, they should have we're talking about women not getting paid enough I think the NBA maybe needs to chip in a little, that something needs to be figured out somehow. Yeah, because the justification of why women don't get paid as much is to flames point. They said that they don't pack stadiums or the arenas like when you play the NBA.

So okay, But what I am seeing now though, when I watched the NBA like basketball games because I didn't use to before, but now when they're on all watch, there are areasas are getting packed, so it seems like they're starting to gross, you know, some more money. And it's no different from uh I would say a team that is not as well known, like an Indiana Pacers or one of them, their arenas are impact all the time,

but their players are still making millions of dollars. Remind you, the base salary for a woman in the w n B A I believe, is about fifty k, whereas the NBA the base salary, even if you were on the bench is practically a million dollars. So there's a huge wage gap issue here, you know. So the disparity between the two hate me. I just gotta say it, because you brought it, You opened up the door. Lawrence I

gotta say. So, here's the thing. If I was a trans woman female athlete, I think I might be wanting to be a man athlete because they get more money. I know that sounds what you said about the swimmer though, right, just whimper wasn't wasn't doing so well on the man's side. She just wasn't. She just wasn't good as a man. But she should have kept swimming. But you know what

I'm saying, she just wasn't good as a man. But I'm saying, if you're really good athlete and your trains, and I don't want to be a trend and I want to compete with the women. That means I'm making less money. That means I need to get better as the gender that I was born so I can work, play with swim with them because of the money is better. I was making it as a joke, but you want to make it all white and ship. I take it.

You know you are residents white sister. We love you, Bobby Cliff, We love your intelligence and we appreciate you. Thank you boy for coming and hitting us with it. I'll let y'all know.
