How are you good? How listen? You had the week? We want to hear. I want to hear all about your week. You had the whoa you had the week? Yes, yes, um no, my week was really good. Uh. Last week I did my concert event with Jennifer Hodson and Christina Aguileras for him. It went great, and Randy Rainbow too. Randy Rainbow hosted, but it was great. Um, it all came together. It was a lot of work. I was very tired. I went to sleep at three am and woke up for seven am the next day. So I'm tired.

But it's okay because you know, my boss happy, My CEO was happy, and yeah, we saw the pictures. It looked great. Jennifer Hudson looks so good. I don't realize she was as tall as you, Lauren, you're a tall woman. I did not realize extended next year, she's as tall as you. Yeah she had on heels, but I mean I had on speakers. But yeah, she's and she's so sweet. She was such a sweetheart. And when I tell you, she's really just the show she really did. I've never

really heard her perform live until you know. Then, I was like, well that's Chicago, baby. Everybody from Chicago got that kind of brilliant talent. That's what I heard. Don't don't quote me down. Everybody, You're gonna come up off R Kelly. Look, you will come up of my R. Kelly. Ladies and gentle, welcome to laugh and learned. I'm your host, Slay my brother. That's my co host, Lauren Hogan. We have been missing Lauren, but me and Lauren gonna be

in studio together. I think next week. Oh look, because I think I'm flying in next Monday. I think I'll be flying in doing laughing because remember I'll be in New Orleans. Yeah, that's what I'm saying this, I think. So girl, Look uh two bloods two is eight right now, that's all I see. So yeah, um, oh yeah, Lord, And so thank you Lord because Lauren. I was also in d C this week because this was World Agh Day.

We had World as Day, which was the first, but I didn't an event in d C for AHF then Lorn and then we got me on and it was fun. We had a good time with um with Michael from down there, the other Michael and Samson McCormick and oh, let me say her name correctly. Her name was uh Land. I can't even remember the first name. Yeah, Samson was on the show, and Sampson was good. But the young lady's name, who's saying her name was either Tightness Shaw

or Tai. She was really good. Tell you, Yeah, I might be sending the first name wrong, but she was good too. The artists was great. It was it was a good a lot of a lot of speeches, but it's it's it's also interesting interesting to know how many people that you don't see or hear their names in the public on the battlefield fighting to find the cure

for HIV. And aight, so hats off to all those people that you don't know about, the ms Barbara's and all the people, because baby, they're out there and been and been soldiers in the battlefield for years. Yeah. No, that's that's that's very true. And plus this year was significant for two because it was a forty anniversary since the first eighth case was recognized by the CDC, So it was it was a big one. You know, I said at the event, didn't they cook the warp speed

uh coronavirus vaccine? And like thirty two minutes in the kitchen, the kitchen ain't available right now for HIV. Their kitchen the kitchen down because thirty two minutes they came up with a warp speed. You would think at the forty years they could have came up with the queue or something for HIV. Well, I've seen some reports saying that they're working on a vaccine for HIV. But don't see how that goes. That's same, that same crank, that's same,

that's same kitchen should be available. Is it really about the hours? Good god, good god, you made it back lately. What else do you have coped up with? You a little busy going to the holiday time? I am Lauren Holing, thanks to you, dear, I'm going to where am I going? I'm I'll be in New Orleans this weekend hosting the King and Queen Pageant with your Sunday at the Civic Center and then on the seventeenth time at the Glasshouse in Miami. I'm excited about that too. That's gonna be fun.

M I figo out what something else is coming up, but don't ask me. You don't have to do some radio for that too too. Um you know boost some people coming in so we'll talk about that later too. But yes, you are booked and rather busy. And then You've got two coming up already with book dates, so it's gonna be a good end to the year and new beginning. Uh So, listen, since we're talking about cooking and cracking and kitchens and stuff, can we talk about Amicron?

Am I saying it right? Uh? Hunt that one too, because who comes up with these names? Is well, I want to know who made it up these names? First of all, I need so I really wanted people on the start there because everything is being named after the Greek alphabet. So yeah, Acron has done the Greek appabite and it seems like all the variants after. I'm gonna say, we can't get a tyrone, we can't get a key ship of Jamal what so just nothing for us, just

just black people because you need to. Now, you know, they're trying to blame South Africa for this, all the crown variant, and it didn't come to South Africa. They came from Europe. You know how many white Europeans identified South Africans so they all knock it off. Why that's what I'm saying. You know, South Africa is being blamed for this variant and it didn't originate there. It originated

in Europe. They were the ones that discovered it. So the travel bands and everything else that Joe Biden's put it up on South Africa makes no sense because it didn't come from them. It came from Europe. And it's so damn scared. Let me tell you some house. We went to the comedy club other night. I didn't even go because I got spooted because they said, if you just had it recently, you could catch it again. You're more susceptible to catching this new one again. Chris gets

the ship out of me. I said, I took my clothes off forget. I canna be it? Uh what that I had about? Yes, I've talked about it. I haven't wit in detail about it or how I felt about it, but yeah, I mean I let my listeners know that I had about with COVID. It made me. It made me respect COVID more, all of them jokes and ship I be joking that should ain't nothing to play with.

And I did not even have it as severely as some people that I do know that's strong and go to the gym and work out, and you know, my lazy as don't do anything like that. But I don't know it just it's different to everybody who experiences it. But I tell you it's definitely not nothing to play with and all that I think I had, I think I had it. Let me make you very well aware that if you have COVID, you won't think you have it. It's a very dark illness. It makes you feel um

like you want to just lay down and die. But I think the trick was to keep busy because I like to think about it was my fourteen year daughter. I'm like, I don't want my baby to catch it. I want my baby to catch it. So we were bleaching and lightsoling, and y'all know, I was ain't know with the lightsol. Uh it ain't changed, It's right, Uh they change. But I still ended up catching it, and so I don't know how, and I couldn't pinpoint. I want to blame this, I want to blame that, but

you really never know how. The the good part was that my doctor said, because you naturally beat it, that you have built up anybody's But now with the new omni crys and they're saying that if you just had it recently, you're more successible to catching this new area. And so I'm like well, damn you know, and don't before usually all going into the hole if you're vaccinated, if you're unvaccinated, this omnichron is doing what this want to do to the vaccinated and to the unvaccinated, so stop.

But yeah, it was it was something well yeah, and I mean, and I know I've even you know, said things on this platform about I got I got the vaccine. I was like, whatever protection I got, I got it. But I'm taking the booster this week. And I wasn't expecting to do that. But I need to know a good booster. You I ain't had a good booster since like eighties six, you know, a good booster You're all you're talking about the booster shot I thought you so, I mean, so yeah, I mean, and I know, you know,

we've had our side conversations. I'm not about to have what we talked about on the platform, but yeah, I mean at this point, I just and I mean, and it's mainly because you know, I have, you know, had a death in the family and everything. I just having you know, conversations with my dad about we just need to protect ourselves because and I think it's really more so for him. I'm doing it now because he's just like, I don't want to lose anybody else unnecessarily, so I'm

gonna take the booster. Well, you know, Lauren, me and you have talked and we and we then we have a real conversation. Shop. Have I changed my mind about about the whole situation. No, but I have. I've expanded my horizons to think that yeah, and a couple of months, I might have to go on here and just say let's roll with it. I just got to make sure it works for me because my biggest fear is that, you know, I voluntarily say yes, it's something that I

don't know because y'all don't know. And then I'm walking around here hop along with Cassie one league one called me a hop uh. Well, I like my eyes and my legs. Well, I think that part that we can tell people to advocate for because there's a lot of times where like especially us, like as black folks have, like you know, apprehension is about going a doctor and things like that, because we all know what history has been.

But it's incurt It's it's important that you advocate for yourself and it comes to your healthcare and you have these conversations with your doctor. Like, you need to be able to feel comfortable with what you're putting in your body. So I know you're gonna talk to your doctor about

you know, worst case scenario, what can happen. But like if anybody that has, you know, questions about anything, I would just say, I would encourage you, you know, to talk to your healthcare provider or your doctor and don't settle on you know, just anything that they say, ask your question. But when I hope you guys, and I

hope you guys have someone that you're familiar with. I know a lot of times your health care changes and you just a routine to any doctor, but I hope you have a conversation with a doctor that you have been familiar with for years that you feel very comfortable with because you trust them more. And it really does make the difference on how they talk to you and how you receive it. Girl, I got a piece of hairsticking in my mouth. He's getting my nerve. Okay, it's gone,

Oh my god, I'm feeling that too. But I'm definitely with a piece of hair. Yeah, I think that really helps, because you know, I know my doctor for a long time, so I'm comfortable talk to him about anything. You know, dude, why am I itching right there? What is that leak? You know what? Why? What was that fire? He's like, yeah, you got but you know you wouldn't talk to a stranger like that. Well, even with me, all of my doctors and health care professionals, even down to my dermatologists,

they are all black females. I only have black female doctors and physicians that those are those are the only people in my black women because they understand. I don't know if I want a black woman to see me neck and she might not understand me. I told you I got the wrong age this when I took the blue pel. Wait a minute, Lauren, so look it just having spoken now they're coming out with this veriant and who.

I do think that a lot of this is I think everybody's going to have an experience with COVID, not necessarily catch it. No, no, no, I don't mean no. I don't mean like that. I don't mean it like that. I said I'm not necessarily catch it, but having experienced around somebody so you can get firsthand to actually see it. Girl, I don't know who this is calling me, but they should not be not what I'm gonna lie. Well, I mean I think that part I can see is this

true flame, you know what I mean? Like, I know several people that are like Cloks friends of mine that have caught COVID and have told me about their experience. So on that front, I definitely hear what you're saying. I don't think anybody in the world at this point doesn't know somebody who has had COVID. Yeah, it COVID is treatable and beatable, but it's the after effects that's scary because it affects everybody that I still have not gotten all my sense of smell and taste back, but

I'm trying. Every day I do a little sniff test with tea tree oil and lemon oil and you could lift this, just to try to make sure and give my sense a smell back. Good God. It's a very annoying. But I don't want it again. I promise you I don't want it again. Yeah, I wouldn't wish it on you either. I don't wish that on anybody my worst enemy, because you just never know. Yeah, that was one day everything on my body hurt and nothing hurt. So if you asked me was hurt. I couldn't tell you what

was hurting because everything was hurting me. My nose hairs hurt, my eyelashes hurt if you looked at me and hurt, the TV light hurt to hear anyone speak, hurt, baby, everything, her my toe nails hurt. Everything hurt me for no reason. But I couldn't lay in there. I couldn't lay in there like that. I'm telling you, I had to a girl. I had to get up when you're laying a b and tell you lay down and just let me eat you up. Bitch. I had to get up. All I

kept thinking about was I am legend. I do not want to be a bitch that can only come out in a nighttime. I do like to come out in the daytime. Was like, thank you, Lauren Hogan. Girl, I'm like, how the hell did I catch your my overly cautious ays. But that's why I'm saying you can't even pinpoints. I don't know. But it was in the grocery store. I don't I don't know, and you don't know. You think you know, because you'll be trying to backtrack. They had

touched this rag. You just don't know because they don't know if it's airborne or what have you. But now with this new version, I'm just gonna have to be a little more coster. I ain't no pictures, y'all. Take a picture, you better have a zoom on your came wraen. You better zoom your ass over there and zoom that big picture because I ain't doing it. I can't. I can't handle the Lord. And I've been overly cautious too.

I mean even when we were at the event. I was at the forum where you had seventeen thousand people that could come in. I took a COVID test and I am still negative. So I'm gonna taking another one next week. So I'm yes, please be precaucious for sure, gonna we have to protect that kindle over here. You know, we can't have all that bs going on in this house. This house, the baby, this house had been so blew out.

My house was so clean. It was like the lady from the movie poster guyst when the little lady said, this house is clean because we got the cold of out of your baby. Oh my god, we was up here scrubbing. I couldn't take it. Oh my Jesus, I couldn't take it. Lord, let me go on to this. Let me talk about uh one of their names. I was gonna say, you want the transition to talk about the Michigan school shooting. Un what are their names that

make running the make runners? No, Jennifer and James crumb Crumbley Crumbley should be called joggers because they were sprinting out baby, they hit it baby, the mom and daddy was on the move. They said, we ain't going down ship. Yeah, so Jennifer and James prombly and then the actual shooter, their son's named de pro so. So many so many stories and now coming out about the parents and what they knew beforehand and how they knew that their kid was And this is why I always say, baby, who

would the parent in your house? Because y'all think I'm gonna push over with my daughter, and a lot of times I really am. But then when the jolly Green Giant decided to show up fun the Hulk, I turned great and started breaking it for real. I just have titties and stuff. You know, I still got a shape. Uh, but baby, let me tell you how something. And then listening to the text message that the mom's like, please,

don't do it. Y'all knew. They didn't even want to take this boy home with them because they had a meeting at the school. According to some to the news before all this went down earlier that morning and asked that he want to go home with him, and he didn't want to go home. They didn't want to take him home with him because they knew he was a basket case. Why would y'all send this boy to school if y'all knew something was wrong because it's oh, it's

not a kid. Well, well, because you know, I know even sometimes with us talking, if you were in that situation, would you turn your kids over to the police when my other phone that you want me to do that? One one? Now? I'm sure because I'm hell, yeah, come get this crazy. You know when your kids crazy, and that's what that's what always people always say, I didn't even see it. Baby. If you who whatever parents sees that kid the most, the mother or the father, they

know you know when your kid is fucked up. Let me just be very honest. You you're like, damn my kid, this kid, I love this kid, but this kid fucked up for real, like for real. You know as a parent that this yeah, this one, yeah, I'm gonna work real hard on these other two because this one right here gone, just gone. And you may not want to admit it out loud, but it's the truth. Don't get

me wrong. I don't, by any means condone what this family did, But I'm just saying the fact that the parents were scared of their own kids just kind of shows you how crazy this cool boy was because this parents were scared of him. But y'all go about him a gun? Please make this Where is the logic in

that I'm scared of you? But then I'm gonna go back to you you a woman that could kill me and publicly put it out there that girl, y'all keep telling about w P, you'll better started talking more about w T ship. Yes, God, who won't here? Because you know I can't see Oh I see Megan. I ain't seen Megan in a minute. Hey Megan? Uh huh, Megan? Where you at? Regulars? Oh there's Megan. Oh, there's there's Megan. Where's Megan? I tried to bring Megan out, Markey Mirke,

where you at? Oh? No, no, that's okay? Jan jan huh um so you're scared. You're scared of the boy. He's fifteen. You know, the boy got some issues, so you're going back the boy a gun Brandon shi All on social media and woo woo. And then you have to go to the school that morning of the shooting with the boy because I don't know what went down, but they was like, can you take the boy home with you? He's like, no, leave us crazy, leave him, leave him here, And then you see what he pulled off.

Do you think those parents should have been charged? Do you think those parents should have been charged? Right? I think they should be charged to I'm just asking do you think because you know it's somebody who don't think that the parents are responsible for that kid. But baby, y'all knew he was crazy? Ship that I think you're trying to say say in the in this scenario, because

I looked at their arrayments and the dad said there laughing. Uh, he had to catch up with his mom and squeak out some fake tears, but his father and I kept a looking like is he laughing? And then after the words, commentators were saying that you know that they weren't taking this seriously at all, and and and we're laughing. You know, they checked out with four thousand dollars. They went into hiding. They knew what they were doing. I don't think they

uh thought they were frightened. Other boy. They wanted to have a badass son, and that's what they that's what they sold, and that's what they got. Because you don't go out and by done if you're scared. You don't go out shooting with the sun if you're frightened. You know, he they were at a meeting that day because the boy got caught looking at UM ammunition on his buffle. And the mother just laughed and said, I'm not angry with you. You just got to learn not to be

caught that. That don't sound like heres to me as I thought. Then they want to ask like that the gun was properly stole. It was not if he had that kind of access to it. How do you properly stole something that his weaponry that you bought for the boy? So all that I'm not buying it. I told you you'll keep telling about w P you have. They talking about these w T s because baby, that was w T and it's finest like. And then they tried to blame Detroit. They tried to say. They didn't want to

say it was Oxford, Michigan. They said, oh, it's the suburb of Detroit. Baby, don't put that on de choit that y'all did all that, that's ridicu. And let me ask you all a personal both y'all the personal question, how much of this y'all think in their mentality because the ritten House trial went so smoothly in their favor that they think that they can pull ship like this and get away with it, not just them, but so

many others. You know, like we said we didn't have I'm sorry, n no, no, no, I was gonna have t and I go after you. Um, we had said, you know, we didn't have a dog in the race, would Kyle, but it self off a lot of you know dog well. I mean, my thing is this, I was never expecting Kyl ridden House to be convicted strictly because all of the Republican support that he was getting so from the beginning when this whole thing happened, So

I was never that was never my expectation. And this situation, I don't think that Ethan Crumbly is going to get off. I think he's going to end up being in jail like the Dylan Roofs and all of the other crazy white kids that you know committed math murder. However, don't know about these parents because I don't know what kind of journey they're gonna have. I don't know what type of case. You know, the prosecution is going to possess. So I don't know. I don't know about the parents.

I don't know. E's not gonna see the light of days. They might put him in a freaking psych aboard, But I don't know about these parents, you know what, you know what, you know what. It's baffling to me as a as a black American or as just an American person that's not white. Their lack of they always talk about how we the eye, lack of respect for the law. They will disrespect the law right in the law's face, and the love will laugh with them or be a

part of it. Because even on the floor last week when they were getting on ghost Sacks case, I think it's his name, gorsak Go, whatever his name was. After he made the whole thing killing AOC and Joe Biden, he went right out of there as they refermended him and went and retweeted that five minutes later as hip they said, fuck y'all, don't tell me what to do. Then with this whole, this thing, with this with this

young man. I'm saying that to say is that now they want to say that that son was this, and that son was that. If you knew your son was bad shit crazy, then you should have been trying to get your son some help as opposed to releasing him to the rest of the world. So in part I do find them guilty for that because you knew you goddamn son was sucked up, then you go by your son a weapon to kill people and release it and put him in a situation where he could get to it.

And that same day you knew he had he was having issues, and y'all knew y'all had just about him an early Christmas gift or deck the halls because all you motherfucker's need to be locked up, you, your crazy son and your stupid as husband, because when he's gonna sit there and smile and mock the law, we can't even move too fast. We are getting shot. But they will spit at the law and think that that's Okay, it's not a fucking ca It's fucking not okay. Oh,

and I'm angry about it. I'm sorry. I'm sorry I was on the rank because my next question is this, you know what it also to. I'm kind of looking at the school too, to see if they need to be held liable because I remember when I was in high school, we had, you know, a threat. There was this crazy kid at my high school. His name is James. He was Asian, and he threatened to come up to the school and shoot everybody. So he had and had a whole list of names before he was going after

Like he was serious. So my high school it was shut down for a week, Like they brought the bomb squad in to do a bomb sweep. They had canine dogs coming to see if he had any you know, rifles that were stored anywhere on campus. Like our school shut down from a week. And that was just from like a rumor. Now it turned out it was true and he really planned to come up there and shoot you know, the students while I was there, but the

school took proper precautions to avoid having a mass shooting. Girl, did you make the list? Did you make the lists? No, see, I was. He likes me, so I wasn't con am but I was just That's why I'm also like, get the school knew that he was crazy. I mean, they had to have a your whole you know, parent teacher conference and everything. Clearly they knew something was wrong with him too. So I'm also looking at the school just like the parents, like what did y'all do to protect

these kids? Because if I'm a parent and I'm sending my kids to go be in your care for five to eight hours out of the day and y'all don't do your job to make sure my kids protected, I'm sing you too, because now my child is dead. Now child life with you. So somebody had tried to generate misinformation and say that the school had gotten warnings about him, and they stepped in immediately and said that that was not that was not properly stated. They had no fore

warning warning about this shooting whatsoever. But what I found kind of strange also is that he tried to and I'm sure everybody saw it on YouTube, to try to gain entry what's from students had barricaded themselves else inside the classroom and he poses a share to get in and so one of the young men said, we were not we're not willing to take that risk at this time, telling him that they were not going to remove the barricade. And the young man said, well, okay, bro, it's up

to you. And so the young man said to the people in the room with them, okay, bro, come on, you guys, And that's when they start flitting, pleading out of the out of the window. I mean to go that far to try to increase your body count that you know, as I'm saying, uh, I will be looking at the school too, and I would be be holding the school liabel, if not maybe not to the height as the parents because they supplied him with the weapon

to the mass murder. But the school is liable too, because did y'all really do your due diligence to make sure that these kids were safe. This is a new breed of kids. This is a new breed of Oh what's as parents? Let me just call it out because all these all these parents howling they scared their kids growing in a day that was just unheard of. Baby, you weren't you were scared of your parents. Your parents weren't scared of you. This is this some new ship.

This is some new ship. It is, Lauren, I'm telling you it is. It is real black and real old school. Yeah. I think that white kids were challenging their parents, but not to this extreme. Even back in the seventies when I was a kid, you you might hear about every blue moon, one person go shoot up the whole family. But girl, it was very It was so it would make the news for a month because that's how it was, but not like now. Now you're here now and it's

like nothing. I disagree because I mean, if you think about old school people, kids killing their parents, you got like Lizzie Gordon, you got to do the shot. Had quite a few shooting during that girl. Lizzie boy was in the forty bitch, I ain't that old. Wait a minute, hold on, back to the funk. I'm just saying. I just think that we have, like the media and social media now that we hear more about it. But I

would be surprised to look at prime racing. I'm sure it was you didn't hear about well from a black perspective, I didn't hear about black kids parents being afraid of their children. But when we were here, even when I knew some of the white kids. I knew they still respected their parents. I'm telling this is a new breathing like like because that's when I learned about I guess kids disrespecting their parents and living world white kids not

just arguing with their parents because of their parents. I had never in my community. I had never seen there before in my church or anything. But when we moved to uh a particular neighborhood, I was like, I mean, we were like, what that door open in the gun, it's over there, curse enough the paints. It was crazy as help. That's what I'm saying. I think it's always been a thing, not in our households, not in black household because we are CHASTI parents. You're getting your asked with,

But you're right about that. I think it's it's been a thing in white households. We just didn't hear about it until you know, technology was able to share so much information about what's going on in the world. You're not choosing at all. Well, she Bobby Clipper said, if she cuts her mother out, she wouldn't have any teeth.

So I don't know, Bobby, you might secretly be black though, so you know, But I mean, I'm not saying all white hold holes did it, but that's where it was introduced to me, right, I don't know, because big Mama can slap you from across the church. She had like the usher boy. Bitches will come up behind you, just grab you for no read. You're like, I'm over here, baby, I don't know. It's a different connection. Oh yeah, that's true.

My mom My mom's favorite thing was choking drive when I was younger, so she used to choke me while she had her I'm gonna have to tray that I got what I need to be choking over right now. I don't know. I don't think. I just I don't want them parents to play anything in this though. I don't. And the daddy smirking and mocking the law, you say, it's just so disrespectful to me because if it was one of us, if we if we don't even look head down, you know they we arrogant, or we this

or we that. I hate that and I hate that. It makes me just who want to take my week out and start win milling. It's it's an ugly look because what you saw, it's what you get. Sometimes you can take all the right answers in the world, and your kids come out after like Jeffrey dun But a lot of this stuff is constantly sirculated. Would hate you see the mother. She had been in communication or road correspondence to Trump, you know, applauding him on his stands

on weaponry. You know. So I ain't fem sorry for none of them. Yeah, I'm just going to see if the parents will get convicted. That's what I'm doing. Said five hundred thousands. It was on the run. They should never hand the bund and they're gonna try to say that bo PTSD I said he shouldn't do. But that ain't what a stand for. I ain't made up what to stand for you, but that ain't it. Ship. So are we are? We gonna talk about your boy? Yeah, we have to talk about the very handsome Mr Chris Cuomo.

Chris Komo gave a great statement back though. Did you see his clasp back statement? It wasn't even a clasp back, it was a response. Yeah, it was his official statement. You know. Then he's putting out regarding him being fired. So let me ask you, Lauren. At the time, didn't Chris have the number one show on CNY. He's always had, well, not always, don't be wrong, but he's had like the number one show on Seen and I think for like the past at least they still fired. And that's what

I'm saying. So whatever, whatever they feel like they have, it must be something juicy, because that's what I'm saying. He has a number one show on your network and y'all find him. It must be something that y'all have that y'all know just ain't gonna work out in his favor, because wow, I mean, I think it's optics too, because like I mean, I've told you, like I've gone to like n A b J conferences, which is the National

Association of Black Journalists. CNN does not have a good rep in terms terms of diversity and inclusion and just I guess you can call them respectability politics, Like they don't have the best reputation, Like CNN is constantly getting voted for the least diverse network and all these other things. So like you know, we see people like Abby Phillips and stuff getting our own show, it's like, who We're excited.

But I feel like there's more of a microscope on CNN, and they feel like they have to really do what's right, because the optics of everything that's going on with that network is usually not a good It is not No, it is not not what I really did expect more either of them because of who their dad was. And again, you can um do whatever you wanna do. People still grow up the corner like their own ideas and my assets. Because Chris is an attorney, you know have better judgment.

Well is it the lack of judgment or did he just feel like he had that much cloud at the network? I need to get away with this both, I bet you well. I want to know who the bitches that accused Chris Cuomo of sexual harassment, she better be a damn piece because if she because first of all, let me just start right here. Okay, it's a joke, y'all for your girl and your feelings. Baby, I don't know too many women. I don't care what color you is. Go and I see you is that you are gonna

tell Big Chris. No, let's start right there. Let's start right there. So let me see what she looked like, because if she come out here looking like that thing that Bill Cosby tried to smash that looked like herman Munster were curly. We're gonna I'm telling you right now, it's gonna just be true with my uncle said years ago, p A g n f at this ain't love lounge. Okay because somebody that said, some woman that accused him of sexual harassment. Now I'm dying to see what she

looks like. But it shouldn't matter. Hell yeah, because he fanns hell. Yeah, Now I know that's that's sexist is hell. I know that sexist is hell, But yes, it doesn't matter. And that's my personal opinion. You know what, somebody taking something or manipulating Nick you they turned on a whole new look from me. All those women that Matt Library were smashing, you know, he it was something else that attracted him to them, called manipulation, called sexism, called chauvinism,

that drove it to that. You know, Prince, if he wanted to be on the ups and up, I would I imagine he could have had who he wanted to. But if he did that, it crosses over from lust to something else. A lot more about the lady all the mhm you know, he could have called me, Yeah, I forgave the two early and no, yeah, I do something else. I don't think it's so much about the person's face claim. It might just I know I'm talking. I'm small. Do you know I'm talking smack? I know?

But still you know, Oh, Megan, Megan's here. I don't know if you want to bring Megan inla Okay, I know you can't know. T you ain't go no, go there, you know anywhere? Oh, let me see what I can do it. Where's market Pagan McCain, Pagan Page and Megan McCain. But I'm curious to see how this all falls out, I will say, because like, I don't know, if you know, Chris Pomo is gonna end up filing a civil suit against CNN and getting a second Not Megan's here. Not

Megan's here. I've been attacked him. Mark. I don't know what happened to you. I don't know what happened to you. Earlier I could. I tried to bring you in. Oh, I had jumped off for a second. Here's my thing with Poma. I'll say, we all know how to fee

about the Poma. I will say this, um, if we expect judges to recuse themselves from situations where they have direct interest or conflict of interests or we expect prosecutors to step down when they know the people who killed him on Aubrey, then we expect Chris Pomo to do the same thing and recuse himself from not only the story but involvement altogether, especially when you're using your sources at CNN to dig up dirt on alleged victims and threatened them with that. So I don't think, well, he

did recuse themselves. Mark, he never, He never talked about it on He didn't report. He accused to sound for reporting, not involvement. He lied. He said that he had no direct contact with any of his brother's aids or anybody dealing with the case, which is completely not true based off of the Attorney General's report and the report and investigation that CNN's council has done. So he definitely lied on air. But my problem is this, Ethically, you don't.

That's like, you don't use the whole reason you had those sources to even go after these victims was because of your employment with CNN and connections. You can't use that as I hate to believe that he I don't want to believe that he did that. He too smiled of him man, and he's an attorney. So that was either some real bold gangster ship or because he can't

be that stupid. You cannot be that stupid. He's not st I think it's the I think it's the pattern with a lot of the cuomos is that they are just really confident and arrogant with their status and they think that again can remember, like, let's just be real. He has a powerful white man and media, and he thought that that was going to be his past to get await with all of this and the facts are got Well, I don't want to hear it about ethically

because we don't have the more ethics. After Donald Trump, all the ethics went out the window. So there are no more ethics in this country. All that ship went out the window. Right. Well, I still because if I'm gonna hold judicial system up, if I think there should be ethical toxices day, I'm gonna do the same thing with journalism because those those two go hand in hand.

But anyway, that's my on on the crumblees or crumbles whatever, the runners, the sprinters, the joggers, because they was running them niggas was on the move. Baby, here's my problem. There's my problem. We don't care. And I know that this is their defense attorney's job. I don't care that they were gainfully employed, or that his mom was a senior director of geting at a large corporate firm, or that is that. I don't give a damn about that, because guess what that shows you if the money doesn't

buy class about that gun. Definitely did that. Definitely did that. And the fact that you can, it's just so it baffles my mind. I get that you love your child, but you love your child so much and you're just so laitantly ignorant. You know your child is drawing pictures of people being shot and blood puddled. You buy your child a gun that same week, You've then find out that he's texting and looking up ammunition to buying online. And if you say L O L, I'm not mad

at you don't get caught. I hope she gets every bit of aspifan in that cell, where to god, I do she gonna get bob shoulder as a jil can get off. That's the same one it written house. Hey, ain't that's the same area. Ain't that the same area? No, I'm talking, I'm talking smack. I know, I know this prosecutor. Yeah, this prosecuter. I noticed that they're trying to say that she's is it me ear flane? I got a kids home, sorry, y'all. Yeah, I'm no, I'm here here. No I will say that

I don't. I am I frozen candle. I don't know. It's always the seconds. Anybody in the house on the computer probably how there he is. M oh shoots, come on, shot on day, but but more when I'm playing and there oh uh some about like they were m h fine h h two and okay let me see and do something, let me see yeah h h right, we see the kay she's just running day. Yeah, the children of a child, this is all broken up. Such a

passionate fil gilt. You had to give the gift early weeks before Crispy And I'm true, I don't wear glasses that motherfucker. H m h in the hill more in children SIPs of nice people because I said that, because it's definitely some you know, some ticky ticky boom boom, you know, and they have downplayed everything, and this is just letting them know how real real is because that county is a white county. So whoever they get, it's going to know somebody in that one high school town

who got shook and had to live through there. Well, I think I think that's a valid point, tej. And like I'm I'm always trying to like for me, I'm always trying to look at the glass like calpful instead of half empty. But I think that like even in the most rural areas like what we saw, even with like Ama r Very's kids only having when they do you know, combile the jury and everything like that, only having one black juror, it seems like morality America a

little bit. I'm not saying with like actual law enforce, but I'm just so whatever jury they end up getting or whatever you know, case the prosecution ends up bringing to regarding these parents, I'm hoping that the moral compass swings the right way and they convic parents. But I mean,

only only time will tell. Should it took us what almost two years said actually see case and work and a lot of juror by any means, But I will say the prosecutor, in my opinion, has laid out so far a very reasonable case as to why they should be convicted um in voluntary man's faughter on all four charges. And I hope they rot in there. I'm sorry, I mean, I just I just think that after after ridden house case came back, they just really let down the curtain to be like, we can do what we want to

do and we're gonna get away with it. I think a lot of them, a lot of people think like that. I think a lot of them believe that for real. And it's sad because the collateral damage will be the innocent people like the four young people that were just murdered in the Oxford that's the collateral damage and all the families and those people that are affected. Because imagine you're being a kid fourteen years old and you stand it next to your friend and fourteen years old and

they did that's scary. That's scary. You have to live through that. You know, we're not built for that. We're not even a lot of sporting ye old kids not equip for that. Some some kids their parents allowed them to remain children. A lot of them didn't. No, no them didn't. But you know, we keep putting all this false there that it's us against the world and all this, and you know, um of the McMichaels couldn't pull it off. You know, by the time the world was uproared, the

boy had been dead two months. Yeah, am had been dead two months. His mama was mm hmm. So they can try and try and try, But like I said, we have to stand in our own convictions, just like Ahmad Aubrey's mother did. Just like when I go to a restaurant and they said, what's your name, I said, Brianna Teller, m hm, whatever your little push is. That's what you have to do. That's what we have to do. We Kyle has set off these dog whistles of this. I'm sorry, mark O, no, no, no, no, no, I'm

I'm sorry. I didn't hear the person. What were you about to say? Mark I wasn't gonna pivot. But I don't know. Are you planning on talking about Alec Baldwin's interview or we're not going there? No, because that's just a gossip of thing. I don't talk about that. People don't have their own opinion about that anyway. I listen that that's the sad story. But I love I love his the way he spoke, how articularly he was. But I don't know if I'm a barvery gadam thing that

he was selling. Uh, but we could talk about juicy. You see, Jesse Small too took this um took to the Yeah you know, y'all know what I'm trying to say, and uh and its own defense. I'm like, I hope Chicago to hook him up. I don't believe that he's going to serve any jail time. Let me say that, I really don't believe that at all. I don't know. I think the Chicago just trying to put an X on his back because they're no tories for doing that. Hold.

Oh no, I didn't say that. I said I don't think that he's going to do any jail time, Okay, but I think they might. I think Chicago is going after conviction. It made international news, whether it was true or not. It was everybody. They were talking about it over in Europe and everywhere. So it was a big deal when it happened at three o'clock in the morning during the winter. And let's not get into the story.

I just think that it's interesting that Chicago the problems going after the way that they are because he was white doing this, it would not be the same situation. So was he wrong in the situation if he lies, sure, but they are really doing a lot to convict him of something. So look they look at for some attention against the national attention. Chicago. Need to knock it off because it really ain't that serious. It's the largest story. Somebody put those brazen balls to stick by this tail.

You know, the people that just got somewhere and disappeared for a little bit and it came back. I think the story double he doubled down, doubled down the well after he doubled up and said that he was the gate tupac. If you don't knock it off, I say, okay,

you just fucked up right there. My my only, my biggest problem with the whole thing, and I'm just gonna say this really quickly, is that I don't like that he took advantage and again I don't know the relationship, took advantage of to non American hard working people who were trying to make it here, and he got them caught up in this. They were guilty. They were just

as guilty for taking part in it. No, but I'm so sorry everybody got free will Mark don't know everybody has free will and that was one no hard work, and that was his trade. Y'all better okay, let me let let me stop. See, let me let me stop because that baby okay, uh see, they want to put that part out. They want to put that part out. They were his trade. But he they did do body guilt and then they did have some things in in the in the empire. It was it was a mutual.

It was like it was. It was a sex sation. It was called doing but sexy sexy. I don't know what, I don't know what. Chicago was going after him so hard. I wish we had that same prosecutor that's going after him that hard in New York, that was going after Trump supposedly. And then do it. Uh what's her name? Yeah? James? Uh? Because ain't she running for governor? Now? Ship she running for something? But people thought we had j Lele on

the block because of her name being Tacaciation. And I was like, well, if we want to talk about a positive sister that's running for something, we can talk about Stacy Ames running for government of Georgia. And I'm telling you, if she came out for us, we better come out for her. Well, that that's if they don't let the

current government count the votes again. Uh. I think I think because of all of the we're gonna call them transgressions that happened around her first government run, I think she knows the game a little bit better now and I think she tells what she needs to do. She was already smart as a whip, but actually want to experience, you know, all of the sideways stuff that can happen. I feel that she's gonna be so prepared. My sister's gonna be on it. Yeah, and Judge, I need you

how to come out for her. But I'll definitely donate to her campaign and I I will say this, give me the Debbie downer. I hope she gets what she deserved. But at the same time, I think there's going to be a lot of pressure on Biden's administration in the trajectory of this UH presidency is going to weigh hugely on if she wins or not, based off of the momentum right now within the Democratic Party and sort of the mindset of a lot of people who are feeling

some type of way. So I look, that's that will be my person time outer. I don't know what kind of way they feel think she's gonna have the negativity. No, no, no, no no, I'm saying the ways that Congress and this presidency is going with Democrats in charge, and the mentality of a lot of Democratic voters now feeling like again back to what we've talked about, my vote doesn't count,

you know, or the progressive side. I'm not voting because the al I'm saying is that those people don't show up in Atlanta, and she needs the black vote in Atlanta. There's the trajectory for her does not look so great. But we're only and not even what we're going into year two and Biden's presidency, so there's a lot of time for that. But why am I had But you want to sound the hat because I don't know what

the heir are you talking? Okay, just recently you discussed your views on Biden and sort of what's happening in this administration and you're not that happy for h Me. Yes, yes, and not at all. I'd like to give him a phone call. You got an Egg's number. That is the way a lot of people are feeling. And if you're talking to voters right now, especially within the Democratic Party,

they're feeling exhausted. So I'm saying, if there is not momentum picked up in Atlanta specifically, because that's what Abrams needs to win the state. If they're if that momentum cannot be picked up and get motivation out there for these voters, it's gonna be hard for her to get

in that office. That's all I'm saying. So I'm saying, with all that she did for Biden's administration, because she also she plays a part of why bidens there, Biden needs to play it very carefully along with Congress to ensure that Georgia flips to to Abrams Benecart. That's what I'm saying. I'm trying to be well. I'll say this, I hope that Joe Biden doesn't come anywhere near Stacey Abrams. I want him to stay far the hell away from her.

And I think that I have hope because also to Georgia just elected Um, but Atlanta just elect that Andrew Perkins as their mayor, which is and he and had no way shape or for him, was he like really at the forefront of winning the race. So I will say Georgia voters do turn out, and I think that a lot of people feel like this is Stacy abrams redemption because she was cheated the last time she ran. They're gonna turn out for her, especially because I'm sorry, spellman,

we are one hell of a coolomerate. We are, we just are. And then you got everybody black is gonna turn up to Stacy Abrams. I'm sorry, He's just all right. So I really feel like if you if you're smart, whether you white, black, brown, you're going to vote for the best candidate. And we all know that that is Stacy yea. And I think right now that's just what they need because it's too much, it's too many moving parts for self professing agendas that are going on with

the entertainment world trying to mask like we're Arica. Do you know what I mean? I think that they need this. Stacy is a smart woman. Uh And as soon as she opens her mouth, you know you've been talked to. You know, I don't think everybody is supposed to be yellow with lone hair. I think Stacy is smart, just like Simone. They're just smart, just like girl. I'm me, having don't hate nobody yellow skinning myne Oh, she can't take my yellow skinning my lone hair. Oh these girls

can't take where's Simone right now? You're getting ready to leave? Oh? Yeah, she's she's That's what I'm saying. But you know she is smart. It's not who she worked for I'm talking about. She was there, right, But that's part of what I was going back to what I was trying to say without saying it, but speaking of smart people and someone who's not smart, why Marjorie Taylor Green can still be in Congress right now after in that dumb the other bitch what is her name? That that has listened that

this because they don't want her out. They don't want them out because y'all you know they should be going, but they don't want them out. So that's that's that's the game they're playing. And you can see whose hands carried the most weight. Al was don't because they would have been get rid of us. We can't even look sideways when you in that your colleague is a terrorist coming down the hall. I'm gonna blow you up when

you insinuate that in the Congress. Emarrason, Kevin McCarty, I'm just gonna be stop getting mad about that stuff because I'm just saying this. On my last note about Stacy, I was just saying, Black people win elections. If we just like you look at it strictly from a data standpoint, we win elections. That's all I'm gonna say. Come on, stay. And she showed you all she can handle herself under pressure because the last time when they cheated her, she

went to the battlefield. The other one they cheated, he went to the hotel with the boyfriend. Way a minute, what happened, same situation, honey, different scenario, baby, different outcomes. I still like him, he just he but I ain't lie. I'm just gonna I mean, I still like him. But

where is the lie? Okay? And and the benefit of Stacy is that she went through all of that, She really got on the ground and got out of the public eye, and we still knew her presence was there, and she could go for a higher position if she wanted to. And the fact that she still wanted to stay at the state level and rerun for governor. So I thought about doing the work. She's not scared of work.

And her introduction commercial was test was fantastic. So Georgia, all of America, we gotta donate because money wins these campaigns. We gotta donate to Stacey Adams campaign. We gotta get money together. We gotta get her a theme song too. Over here, I mean, I don't have to come back on lad We're gonna have to get her a theme song. All right, Well, thank you guys so much.
