You Taketh, Now Giveth Back

Spirits think you want to revisit. So your first take a list of gill folks like your slip, All folks that we take it good. Cain't no kid do what you doin't no kish do what you do. Can't no kids do what I do. Welcome ladies, Jim to laugh and learn. Today we are almost to the end of this very first season and I'm here today with my beautiful partner, Lauren Hogan, who did not wear black today, so I wore black for her. You don't let me

talk about wearing black. Lack is my signature and favorite color. Black on you whatever you even when you don't want it on your So on you so good. We're taking, We're taking and We're glad that Lord is back this week. Lord was traveling last week, ladies and gentlemen, and she just could not make it, but she made it today and she's still been traveling. Girl, where you've been? I went to Florida. I literally got back yesterday and I

got to travel again tomorrow night. So it's rough. Just give me to November and I'll be stationary with I'll be happy about you make your paper, Lauren Hogan. We know you had another job before you came and joined us here and laugh and learned, and we appreciate you being here where we're going because it's been a real hectic week this week, Baby, the news has been all over the place. Can we start in my hometown of Chicago? Oh? Absolutely, you can go ahead up. I don't think I wish

you could write about that on it again. Let me tell you something, and I want to say this, and I'm never gonna stop listening to our Kelly's music. I understand that we all have different size and personalities to us. Sometimes you embark on some bad stuff and sometimes you don't. He will go down in history for two reasons. He yes,

he was accused of pedophilia and convicted, were convicted. He's been convicted of all kinds of stuff, all kind of racketeering and brandis scams and underage girls and all that. But he will also go down in history as a great artist, a great songwriter, and he will go down to history for Step in the Name of Love. You can't help a barbecue without abod even the white folks playing, even the white folks play Step in the Name of Love. Okay, so I agree with that. I think that musically, is

he a genius? Absolutely? However, I did delete all of Our Kelley's music years ago when this first I think it was like when Surviving Our Kelly first came out and I watched the whole series on Netflix. I did go in and actually delete all of his music. And some people can call me a hypocrite because, like you know, the Cosmey Show still comes on. I still watched The Cosmey Show faithfully, but I did delete all of Our

Kelly's music. So you might have deleted it. But if I have a barbecue and you're here and we step into the name of love, you, I want to see you rock into the beat. Now. I want to see you just eat your barbecue. I don't even want you to either. What probably happened is you'll play the music and I might move for two seconds and be like, oh ship, I gotta what's going to happen. That's what's

going on. That is what's going to happen with a lot of people, because you know, with all that that happened, and it's you know, people saying that he was he was railroaded and woo woo. I don't know what the situation was. I don't even because I was out a part of that. I was not in that. I do have daughters. I still have issues with where was they dance that? Where was the mom's that? Because the black girls black mama was just worse than black daddies. For real,

I agree with that. So I'm like, well, where were the parents that nobody stepped in to say, hey, let me help? And I gotta wait with daughter right now, who probably could be persuaded by an R. Kelly issue type of purse. But then this decision comes down to what you're gonna do. Oh, I know what I'm going to do. I'm not going to say it, but I

know what I'm going to do. Well, I mean, I agree with you, because even even some of the stories that I heard of how these girls got involved with R. Kelly, it just it didn't make sense to me, just the stream of consciousness. I was like, Okay, where was your parent and why did your parents think that it was okay for you to, you know, go meet R Kelly by yourself. Well, allegedly some of the parents were being

paid off. Allegedly, even Eliah when she married when he married her and the family consented to her to marry him under age. Apparently it has come out that the mom even slept with Elia's mom is supposedly had slept arc you are that I haven't. They said a baby. R Kelly was throwing it from left to right. I don't see nothing wrong and for the show a little institution number, I don't see nothing wrong. I'm not. I'm

just cutting up. I've been in the R Kelly. I'm just gonna tell you ain't got to drop the soap. They know who you are. They're gonna get you, nigger. Let me just be honest about your money is long in jail, but people always say, well, how they gonna know what he was accused of. Prisoners in jail me and jail have had to do nothing but watch tvl they play cars, and most of them, if you're good behavior, work in the office, so they know what's coming long

before you even get there. They know your whole everything. They know your health record, they know your physicality, they know what you're accused of and where and how many and so yeah, they they're waiting on them. Yeah, I mean, I'm just happy that I feel like some of these you know, young girls are finally getting some closure. But the sad thing is is that because our Kelly had so much money, and to your point, I believe it that he was paying off a lot of people, probably

even some of the parents. I could see that. I could really see that. So I mean, I'm just glad that he's finally this is my ignition. Put the key in ignition, because even some of his I know, one of his girlfriends that did the Gail King special, she's like she got out of I guess, the whole Stockholm syndrome situation. But the other one, Joycelyn, she's like still sticking beside him. Uh so, you know, you know what's sad about that? And I can't say that, oh well,

maybe they didn't get enough hugs. Maybe they didn't get enough love. Some people are their self esteem or their how they feel about themselves. Women and something into so easily captivated bad money and the fame and the notoriety and somebody is paying attention to them that they allow people to just stump over them for years and years

and abuse. That is though, to just have that type of like that switch to go to the other side in your brain, to say that I have to be here and I can't be without him, and you endure so much trauma. It's the truth, you know what it is that they said that, You know, like what you're saying that if so, if you didn't get it at home, you seek it elsewhere. But what about the people who got it at home because they have something? Look at

look at Patty Hurst, who the bank robber. She was from a well to do family, She had everything she needed and as soon as she got an opportunity to go completely a different route, she want a different So, you know, you, like you said, what what triggers that? What? What in a person makes you say I'm just gonna

throw everything away and just go forward? What chemical and balanced do you have or is it pipe that good because r Kelly, I saw that videotape and real talk, n you ain't had no skills that a young girl put the thing on, y'all. Maybe I watched that she was experienced. Let me just say that, Oh my god, you saw where did you get the tape from? The tape was up years ago? I saw that years ago. Okay, yeah, when it was first in the store, you could do

all of it. But now I'm like, baby, if you watch that tape, Mark, Kelly ain't had no stroke to the yoke. Kelly was that little girl head, she was experienced. Let me just say that she just needed an umbrella though. Oh that is terrible flame. This is laughing. Laugh with me, baby, because you'all know that. And I don't even know. Will

he ever? Do you think that he will ever get out? No? Right, he has too many pending cases in different states at the point, because he just was convicted where New York in Chicago? I thought that was New York, stay, I thought. And then he has cases in Chicago and like Minnesota, and every time some Chicago might might let him get not a pass, but that might not be so severity. No, the Attorney General in Chicago now was black female. I don't think she's gonna let him get a pass. Well,

once you get the Minnesota, it's a wrap anywhere. Minnesota plays no games with black people. If y'all don't believe me, George Floyd, Minnesota plays no games with black people, let me just let you know that. I don't know why y'all lat no ways to damn cold. I love you Minnesota, no, but I don't think. I think this is just gonna be a perpetual ripple effect of him just getting convicted. And I will say, because I did say that, I

still watched the Cosby Show. I was mad as hell because I think Bill Cosby's rep came out and basically said that he felt that R. Kelly was being treated the same way that Bill Cosby was. And I wanted to be like, can you please just shut the hell up so I can still watch the Cosby Show and not be upset? Did you see that how was Bill

coz retreated? Well? According it, Bill Cosby didn't make the statement, his representative did, saying that he feels that our Kelly was railroaded in his case similar to Bill Cozy, and then proceeded to say and that is why you know the state of Pennsylvania overturned his conviction and why my client is now out because he wasn't given a fair trial.

Where I'll tell you what, Bill Cosby knew how to play the game, because that nigga walked in court like an invalid blind with the smith with the with the stick bent down and hunched over, with the with the John McCain m and the club foot and everything. But baby, when they said you was free to go, there they go walked up out of there like somebody had just gave him that winning power. He came out seven like,

well you got well. They must have good doctors in prison, because he got well all medical issues all of a sudden, they just magically went to hellot and they do it. They do it. Look at Harry Wine, Howry Winanstein looked like he damned on the deathbeard. But I bet you if they let him go and they would be making a movie to mind and be jumping doing jumping jacks

from the Mediterranean flying off of us. I know he ain't getting out, but I'm just saying, if that is the game that we have to play in order to get past the hurdles and and I'm not giving Bill Cosby a past at all because you had way enough money. You could have did a whole lot of other things. You could bad what you need because a lot of women selling it. But you that ain't what. That wasn't his turn on. So I still watch the Cosmey Show too, And I don't think that as artists, because I'm gonna

make some mistakes in my life too. Probably this week I'm going to land um as artists that you can hold our feet to the fire for that, because that's my personal life. Now. What you can try to do as that artist is try to keep it out of the public arena. But you know that goes with the territory somebody always looking for the come up or to throw out or I'm exposed you, I'm gonna tell your secret. I ain't got no secrets to tell you. I don't know.

I think it's too it's just like we need good examples of just like black families and black culture and just you know, black socioeconomic circumstances. I guess maybe that's also too wild. Like I can't go let go of the Cosby Show in a different world because it just celebrated black folks. Yes, what Bill Cosby did that horrible? Wasn't sucked up? Absolutely? Was he wrong as hell? And

should he still probably be in jail. But we still need those examples because there's so much trauma, and we see the trauma all the time, like we see the slave movies and all of the anguish and stuff that we go through. We need like happiness to look at you, I feel like and that's what the Cosby Show still does for me in a different world as well. It

influenced black culture. You know what hurts the worst though I'm not even a real woman, let me just say this what hurts the worst out of all the beautiful women in the world, Bill calls me black, white, or indifferent. The one that you got caught up with looked like a young Caitlyn Jenner if she would have transitioned in her late twenties, didn't she? Baby? I think it was funny looking. She looked like a full own man with an afro. You know what was her name, Constantin or

something like that. I'm not gonna well, there was a couple who I think her case was the one that really pushed it over. The funny looking as hell. I'm like, that's the true average with my uncle, say, p ain't got no face? Because is that one right there? Baby? You all remember the movie Boomerang when Eddie Murpy ear the Kiden make the lights real black? You couldn't even get no black? Yeah she didn't. Oh, I'm like, Bill, damn,

it must have been a fetish because good God. So I will say overall, R Kelly, I'm glad that a lot of these young black women are finally getting some justice in there. I hope the women that he have damaged and have random up through fan counseling and or get some help, because who's not to say that it couldn't happen to them again? Oh? Absolutely? And also to just what's it called? What's it called the Stockholm syndrome?

That is very prevalent and a lot of young younger people because they easily manipulated old It's like me, I can't be fooled, but I'm I'm it's different though, because I know you fool to me, So why are you thinking you fool to me? I'm fooling you. At the same time, they just didn't know the difference because they were young. Well, I just the trauma that they're going to have to live with for the rest of their

lives and the therapy. And just let me ask you a personal question, Lauren, because you're a woman, do you think that you could meet a man? And I know how you've been, I know your upbringing, I know who your parents are, I know your hold on, hold on?

Do you think that if you a man came and swept you off your feet and gave you all the right answers to all the questions that you asked, he was, he filed, he filled in all the blanks that you could be one day knocked off your square to just lose your man behind a man over sex or the money or money. You're not even superficial like that, so I knew it wouldn't be money with you. It wouldn't be the money, but something else, you know, to take

you to a place where you just lost yourself. Um, I'm gonna say no, but I am I can't predict the future. It would have to be something phenomenal for me to really just go batship crazy over a man. Oh, let me tell you something, whoever you is out there, you gotta get past the big bad woods. Yes, who was the big He would have to have something, something real special that just nobody else could in the world could get me. That would have to make me just,

you know, just get stupid, like stuck on stupid. Ken, That's a fair question to a straight man. Kendall was a cameraman kinda straight Kendall, do you think at this point in your life that a woman could come not if you and your girlfriend broke up, y'all ain't going to break up. I'm just saying this is a for instance, and she just took you on a I mean, Kendall, she just answered all the questions. She made you feel

extra special as a man everything. Do you think that a woman could just captivate you and make you just throw everything away? See as a man, the man and me, I completely agree with Kendall. I don't know if well. I mean, I could definitely see that because when I think of something like Brittany Rainer, I don't know. You guys,

you know what I'm talking about. Kendall. You know, she literally was going through athletes like no other d p J. What was this Washington stuck on stupid and she got knocked up and like took him for all his money and and like she had a reputation in the streets for just being a hole and she still was able to secure a bag. In the words of my girlfriend dad and a good pussies peep for itself. Don't litle

body tell you different that dough baby, no shade. Like you know, men are kind of y'all are wired differently than women. So who preaches that all the time? That what is the difference between a man and a woman outside of the jen to tell you come and heart, Yeah it is. The setup is different. You know. They attacked me about that, but the setup is different. No, I agree, because home rowns and everything else. Listen, I could be a little crazy some days. Flames seeing different

size in the past year. I like it. Nobody used to see that. Y'all need to cut and run if you see me get mad, Okay, cut and run. A synopsis. R Kelly, um we I still would listen to your music. I still play his music on Love Lounge. He is from Chicago, so ill and I'm knew R Kelly for years, long before he became the R. Kelly cousin when we used to be on the host Straw back in Chicago. He used to come to the Golden Legger restaurant and hang out. Oh, I was a prostitut hunter like you

would't believe. I was the Maxicane baby. Wait for the book, same baby, Max you used to walk around with many dresses and no panties and made all the money. Uh oh yeah, that's that's for the book. Was that a different personality? Know? What's the same bitch? I was just keating young and was a hustle baby. Oh my god. I would not leave home with I wouldn't come home

with it. Was always had a goal right, But R. Kelly was very respectful to come to where we because it was a bunch of trainees that hung out it to go a nugger restaurant. He was always there with with women, young girls. But he was young at this time. This was could God eight and he was what's up in this lady? How are you doing like that? And he said he entered used to tell us as Robert back then, so he was a chameleon where he hadn't become.

He hadn't even dropped the song yet. He was in the studio I think getting it ready and just was always respect So when we found he saw and he I was like, oh my god, that's the guy who used to be at the restaurant all the time. And people like, well, how was it. I was like, he was cool, you know. But I think that I give off even when I was young, I give off of I'm gonna treat you the way you treat me. So if you're cool with me, I'm gonna be cool if

you're shitting with me. Oh you do now, y'all think Laurenda bitch? Would she get mad? Asked? Asked him? Do he I never been mad at him, but he's seen me a be of amster. Yes, yes, we we've all seen not today, not today. Today, I'm feeling like Tina knows showing to look cleavitch. It's Corney joke. Okay. Where So I'm going to move to a bit of a more somber note because I just feel like we have to acknowledge and offer our condolences. So over this past weekend,

Maya Marciano was reportedly found dead. Um, she had been missing for a while and her body was finally found. So just to you know, girl, she's black. Yes. So the body was found around ten in a wooded area near her apartment complex actually UH near Holding Heights, so UH search parties basically called the area Saturday morning and after data of the prime suspect, who was twenty seven year old Armando Caballero, placed him near there for about

twenty minutes after Marcano's disappearance. So it's a really sad story because the prime suspect, this guy apparently was actually the maintenance worker in her building and he had been harassing her, and so she wasn't he had access to her apartment, so it's like she wasn't even safe in her own home. You know. Immediately when you said that what it took me to to the sinus of the lamps. Dr Hannibal actually said, we covet what we see every day.

He worked as the maintenance man, so he saw this woman probably every other or every day or every other day, and he probably got a thing for and he had access to her apartment because he was the maintenance man. That is messed up. That is That's why I think that when you live in an apartment, you know, and I know that management is supposed to have a key

or one one key to all the apartments. I usually change my locks when I moving in, though I do, I usually change my like you, that's no need for you to come to my house, and I paid you my rent. I don't need you to come to my damn house. I need to be there when you come. And when you're a single woman, no matter what color you are, you should always change the locks because nobody

should have access to come in on you. Because there are people are here that are creepy and that watch you and fall in love with you and get some kind of crazy obsession that you're in love with them back just because you said good morning or gave him a nice smile. How you doing today? You know, Oh my gosh, she's in love with me. People are sicken than mine. I'm telling you, y'all need medication. I guess I'm over here some gye. Just our condolences go out

to her family. How long did it take for them to find her? I believe it took two weeks. Of my mistakes, Rootito was found in two or three days. Y'all still ain't found what's his name? That what's his name's boyfriend? I think it was the fiance and according to to that, I've been watching that story this weekend We're gonna going right into that story because I've been watching that story. So I watched the officers in Utah that stopped them when they will have any altercation, the

physical action, the all. The officer pretty much Segwight everything that he needed the guy to say, and I wonder if we had to go the right way. So she was a little radic, so she hits you. I'm like, you're putting worse in his mouth as opposed to asking him what happened? Ain't That's the reason where they separates you out when you when there's a crown committee so you can have your story and they can have their story. But the officer did all talking for him. It's bull ship.

That Utah Police department right there should be on the investigation big time. And y'all still ain't found them. Well, I think they had like a sighting of him somewhere, and I saw that on the news, like they said they believed to have had a sighting of him, but they need to confirm and they are still looking for him. And I was like, y'all can find and anybody, and all of a sudden, this man is like Houdini, and

y'all can't catch him. That's called the black police officer that was here a few years ago that went on a shooting rampage, killing police officers. Y'all tracked him down for three or four days, y'all, but y'all knew where he was every time. When that accidental fire hit the cabin, I did say, accidental fire, y'all found his remains burned up. Child.

Please that man they got out the country and the family helped him because the mom and them gave him a cell phone from a different company the same day and he got ghosts. But he let him have been black exactly. So, like I said, condolences to Maya's family, I know, we talked a bit about Gabby Potito. So I even hoped that you know what was the black your man from Illinois who they found him after So

he had been missing since early August. Yeah, and they found him after all the stink behind Gabby Potito and people saw saying, well, you haven't found him, and then they ended up found his body in a ravine maybe three or four days later. I need that family to do all toops on that body, because you know, the last black body that was missing like that when they did open it up. It was stuff with newspapers. The Organs were missing. Yeah, you're talking about the young gun

that was founded up in the gym. That's right, that's right, And nobody wasn't even talking about that until the whole Gabby Botito incident. It took one of them to come up missing for y'all have to talk about one of

us coming up missing. Well, I want to say, I gotta give some real credits to joy Read because in the middle of her show, she took the time to basically say, I find it so interesting how the media, all of a sudden is given all this attention to this white girl who was missing and turned up dead, but all of the black stories of the black young men and women that are missing, y'all don't give nearly as much media attention to And she she put it out there, so and I'm glad she's still on TV because,

you know, saying something like that and this times right now, maybe if you don't say how they want you to say that, what you wanted, what they want you to say, you end up your show all of a sudden, doesn't get picked back up, or gets canceled or something happens all of a sudden. It's very noticeable, how y'all pulling the scams that y'all pulling, And we are pre recording the show today, saw y'all. That's why y'all not on here because the Internet doing their own thing, they're already

setting it up. Blame Mark Zuckerberg. I'm blaming the aliens. Y'all need to say, y'all ask from up there and see every every since what's his name? One object when he asks up there to three weeks ago, all the Internet stuff and messing up, say your ass from up there. They're gonna only like white meat. I'm telling you you're gonna keep messing with. They're gonna only like white meat,

not light skiing white meat, not light skiing white meat. Um. So yeah, we want to just you know, offer our condolence because it's just I feel like just between you know, the murders and people just dying, it's just it's a really horrible time. Like I'm like, it's mercury back in retro grade. What's happening? Because I feel like every time I look up, somebody's either being murdered or somebody's passing away.

It's just it's it's You're right, Loan. It's a sad time and I'm sorry for the parents who have missing children. I could not even fathom what it would be like to not know where one of my children are because they've been abducted. And you're not a parent, but you are parents to Scott and you love at them. Imagine if the dog was missing and you just didn't know, you had no clue, and that's how those people are

in limbo. It's you know, if you got the body, returned the body, at least tell someone, let them have some closure. There's no closure when you just you always wondering what happened? How did it go? Yeah, Lord Jesus left being left in the do good God. I don't want to be left in the dog um. But let's sega though. Let's talk about your nails are pretty I'm about to get a food because you don't see this one's missing. I'm trying to hide it the whole time.

I'm not to get my nails down. Tomorrow, let's seg with. Let's go to California, California. We got a spell. Well, you see all the poor little animals. I feel so bad for them, you know what they're saying now. I was watching because it fully happened in Newport new I mean in Newport Beach, Newport Beach, I say Newports, but I'm thinking Virginia Newport News. But and that's a very Newport Beach, that's a very high end, well to you area.

But they said that those tankers have been sitting in trying to be unloaded here in the San Pegro Harbor for weeks because of there's not enough workers. Then they have to go through customs and so those oils, those tankers sitting out there that meant to be in water. But damn, you think it was erosion? Oh you think it was a purpose fo leak. I can be a conspiracy theorists sometimes, and so I believe it could be either or honestly, because sometimes when oil spills just magically happened,

I'm always like, well, what the hell actually happened? Like was it a fire? Did something explode? Like? How did how did it happen? If it was sitting there for so long? Why not all of a sudden we had this drastic oil spilling. You're killing all the damn fish in the wild, and people can't go to the beaches. Oh, I know what. They're closed down and that's where all the white people are. So you know they're living a yeah, because they moved out there to get away from us

so they can dip on that beach. So they're they're living, they're living. Oh, Kobe a family lived out there too. Now they lived in Newport Beach. He had a place out there. I think the mom, Vanessa Bryant's mom lives there. Okay, well that's what Terry de Brow is that. That's what Terry de Brow is that. Y'all know who Terry the Road, doctor, Terry the Road. He gave me these loves. Who was that? His office is in Newport Beach. He gave me these

lovely I am no longer botched, unbatched? Okay, you no, you wanted to talk about the mandate, right, yeah, I want to talk about the mandate. California. Well, of course California gonna have to be upset. Let me tell you something. So many different states have been getting hit with so many different things from natural natural disasters. And we we had a little shaker quake or maybe what not not even two weeks ago. We had a little shaker that

no it wasn't no shaker. It was rough. It was it was closer to you because it was that card, so it was it was. It was a shaker. So I expected something. I just didn't expect the oil spill because it always makes me learly like you see it like erosion. But they're built to sit in the water and go transport from China to the United States to wherever else. They're going to bring these big tankers, so

you know they had to be equipped for that. How y'all getting such a massive oil spill too, because it was a major one. And I mean, don't get me wrong, I am not I never like science in school. I'm not a science with So maybe there's something scientific that I just don't get. I'll throw that out there, but I'm just saying, and I get that there might be sand and algae and everything else in the damn water.

But to your point, don't y'all got like people who build these tanks for that reason specifically, which makes you think that who pushed the button and released the oil exactly? I don't. I don't get it sometimes that I want to say, like this whenever we have like we're on the verge of this whole three point five trillion dollar deficit. Right, it's a three point five we're on the verge of that.

Maybe it's a distraction, Maybe they said somewhere. I know that's why I'm saying, maybe let's take your tenchtion somewhere else so you won't see what we're doing. But I just want to say before we go off, because I know you you're a little hot with Biden. I' gonna let you explain that that I love that Biden came my freestyle on the Democrats, and just say what I've

been saying, what we've been pushing. Yet, we might not agree on everything, and it might be some policies in this new infrastructure view that we just don't want to agree with, but we got to win the war and look at the big picture. Democrats, y'all got to get on one court or we are going to lose this thing, and we are going to lose this thing in a major way. No, I hear you, And I mean, let me just say this. Biden's record wasn't the best when

he was running. Okay, he wasn't my first choice when yeah, when we had damn you know candidates. But my issue with him is really with a lot of presidents that we have put The exception of Barack Obama is that they forget when black people elect you into office. Why

are you always messing with us? First, I just saw the report that part of his new budget plan or whatever then he's put into place, he's cutting thirty billion dollars from historically black colleges billion billion, And it's like, we got you elected, especially the damn millennials, what are you doing now? Don't get me wrong, if it came to a situation where it was Trump versus Biden, again, what I vote for Biden? Absterdam Lutley, what's the lesser of the two evils? I'm always going to look at

it that way, but it just a nerves me. When us black folks elect people were the majority because white people didn't vote for you like they should have been. The tinos, damn sure didn't vote for you like they should not. We're the ones that elected you, So why are you always messing with us? That's what pisses me off. You know what's ugly about that? That's gonna make Trump look like an even better man to some people, because Trump a lotted a whole gang of money to black

historically black colleges previously he did. Yeah, but I'm just saying it's between you cutting funding and then you got people at the border in Texas. You've got people on horseback whipping Haitian immigrants. You're putting them back on planes, but you letting Afghani refugees come into this country. It's

just like it's you're supporting us or not. Well the hell my issue still with that, I mean with Biden, because if ever I was able to sit down with him, your first thing, I'm gonna ask him, when are you gonna pass this anti lynching bill? That's that's another thing, when you because everybody else can get their bills passed, I don't care about nothing else right now. Pass this bill and then let's go on to the next one.

So that would be my first thing to ask. And the other issue too, is because there's all these negative things in the press, I ain't really heard from our dear VP. Yeah, she's been on low, low, low, That's what I'm saying, because the last Friday, Biden, I mean, I know she's a part of the Biden administration, but she's not the president. Let's just be very clear. So what he's doing is causing her to be really put in the background because I personally don't think that Biden's

gonna run for a second term. So who's gonna be the Democratic nominee? Okay, what you'll vote for me? You can't find me on camera. You can't find me. I wouldn't want to be I don't want the responsibility of being the president of the United States. But but this is my thing too. It's like Joe has been wanting this for so long, like you should have planned, prepared. And don't get me wrong, I've never been the president. I'm not about to sit up here and act like

I'm an expert in politics either. I know things happen behind the scenes that we don't see. My whole thing is, stop messing with people that got you elected. Please just make it seem like we've got some type of support, not just stop messing with him, support supporting, show us, show us to you, because we have shown you that you mattered to us. And I don't care if you know.

We got immigrants in Haiti, they're still black at the end of the day, and you've got people on horseback whipping them and are you gonna say it's, oh, we condemn this behavior a dirty bit. Should have went down there with a box and dropped it off to the Haitians overnight. They came with them horsebacks and the whips. The next day ship would have been real different. I'm just saying, like, I need him to do a serious one eighties because he's not well liked right now amongst

the black community. And if he I don't know what his plans are, but they're looking a little bleak. And I love that you said that, Lauren, that he is not very well liked amongst the black community, because what I need us to remember is, yes, he is not very well liked with us right now. But just like you said in two, if this food decided that he wants to put his head back in the ring, let us not forget all the ship that he has put us in. Yep, Biden is not holding it all the

way up like he should right now. But I don't want us to get so sad tracked that we'd be like, to hell with Biden. I'd rather go back to Trump because what's happening, though I don't know if you've seen it, moderates are they're saying, like, you know, oh, y'all thought he was so different. Biden is actually another form of Trump. That's what people are saying. Yeah, yeah, it is. If we I'm telling you something right now, Lauren, I'll tell you what's gonna happen. I'm gonna pack my sheet and

go to the UK. Y'all can say it's worse if y'all want to. I'm gonna go live right in the country with my children and be doing live right there. We're gonna be doing love lounge from from England. Good Ay. I'm gonna go to all straight get a good I would go to austraighta, but y'all got too many animals and spiders and ship they kill you. So that's all I'm saying. I just need. I need Joe Biden to get it together, and I need if Kamala Harris can

do something as our VP. I really hope that maybe she can provide him some insightful advice and help him get his ship together. Do you think they have a handstat Possibly. I wouldn't say no, because, like I said, I'm not a political expert, but I wouldn't be surprised though. Like I said, I don't understand the ins and outs of policy and everything else that goes on in the United States. I'm not about to sit up here and just say, you know, like I'm tooting my own horn.

So it's definitely a possibility. For sure. Well, sure we got off a California, but let's on California because Governor Knewsom, my governor who I revoted for again and not to uh recall him. And I know my vote counting because I got a text message, so I know my vote counted. I can't say that last man, dear took one of my kids didn't though, so ill you see, I scared

it back. Joe what's his name? Devin knew something? Yes, So just mandated that by next sometime next year, in order to go to school for seven to twelve, No, from K through twelve you will have to get it. It's not through twelve because the vaccine is not approved some it's so twelve, So seventh through twelve, year seven you will have to be vaccinated in order to do in school learning. Mhm. But honestly, I knew this was gonna happen because they're treating they're really starting to, you know,

create the uh, similarities between COVID and the flu. Covid it's just covid. You here to stay, not going anywhere. So they're gonna start treating covid like the flu, just like when you go to school, you're supposed to get a flu shot. In order to go to school, you gotta have all of your vaccinations up to date, and all that stuff. That covid is just going to be under that umbrella. Now, I am so glad I am at school. For me too, I am so glad I

am out of school because even these young kids. And I'm telling you, I wouldn't know half of this stuff if it wasn't for my teenage daughter and my fourteen who lives in the house with me, And she talks about so many children at her school, so many her classmates and sophomores and juniors that listen to their parents that do not want to take the vaccine, that are conspiracy theories against it, or just don't trust it or don't believe in it. And so they're hearing these stories

at home. And you know, you hear your parents talking about someone you're that age, you think like they think. So she is, Oh my god, I don't. We're across that bridge when we come to a good God. Absolutely got a new peel, though, Lauren, for what for the COVID? You ain't saying that they got a peel for it's a pill now and they gotta peel now. Just got vaccine pills now That sounds from the third shot boosted.

Now to appeal, what's next to listen? I got my shot, im whatever protection I got, I got what's next to drink? Put it in the edible. But but I mean, I know that people really want to scrutinize those that have vaccine hesitant, vaccine hesitante see and stuff like that. But we just saw in New York to that you know, their new governor. I don't know that lady's name because

I'm so a little upset about Governor Cuomo. But she's mandating that all medical workers have to get vaccinated, and there's quite a few hundred nurses and other are saying they're not going to do yes. So I just don't think that for those that are a little hesitant and don't know what they want to do, people really need to stop bashing people and thinking that they can strong on them into doing things it is your own choice.

I love that that Lebron James, Yes did that. He him and his family both were vaccinated and he said he wasn't all for it, but he he explained that he did it for his family, but that he was not pushing for someone else to do it. That is your choice, baby. That's you need to stop be grudging others because they don't want to take something. I haven't gotten the flu shot since I was twelve years old because I got the stomach virus when I took it when I was twelve. I ain't got it since ninety

to put me in hospital for the day. That's what I'm saying. In the hospital food was terrible. So I'm saying people need to just let people do what they need to do in their own time, you know, stop be grudging people. I'm all for western medicine, but I also like a holistic approach to I like a good combination of both. That's where my comfort level is. So whatever people want to do, let them do it, and

stop be grudging people that haven't gotten vaccinated. I think that people in they asked to doing that because Friday, when Vice presid Kamala Harrison was last Friday when she was supposed to be on the view, I was traveling, so I didn't get to see it. And then apparently Sunny and Anna Navarro tested false positives for the coronavirus, so she wasn't able to come in the room. I honestly, in my head, ABC, y' all can be upset of you. I want to I believe that was. I believe that

they pulled them back for a reason. I believe that they wanted to save face because I think that they thought that Sonny and Annim are going to go in on common Harris about so many different policies that she has not, according to them, lived up to or whatever. But she only been the vice president since januine January, so it's been so yeah. But I think that ABC just didn't want that conflict and didn't want their controversy, so they came up with the server because as you

can see, they were right back at work Monday. What no man's what, no social distance, whatnot. So what I'll say is, though I don't agree with that, only because you know, when my dad does for a living, and they got their whole COVID things with from what I understand, and if I'm wrong. I'm sure people in the comments will correct me, but from my understanding is that they are having an issue now with like the PCR tests,

with false positives. It's an issue US knows one. Yes, it's well, that's why they're only doing those swabs now because there was an issue with the PCR tests and they've been getting false positives. So I'm not totally surprised that that happened. So, I mean, I know you have your theories or whatever, which I'm not negating, but but in this instance, I'm not surprised that it was a situation of somebody having a false positive because from what

I've been told, it's been happening. That's why, for instance, GAVENUSOM is going towards the mandate because they're not trying to rely on the COVID testing every seventy two hours as much. They know they know at least that the vaccine it provides some type of protection, is what I've been told. Yeah, And with Kamala Harris, I I didn't Sunny was just I didn't like Sunny's at take on it.

Neither don limits. I don't think people who haven't been vaccinated should be able to go to the grocery stores that should be able to allowed to do this and do that, and whoop the do do do? And now

you see they're coming after din limit. Not even about that, they coming at the down limit because apparently about in twenty eight teen, he was in the bar and they said, the rumor is that he gets belligerent drunk when he's not working, when he's out social and they said, he gets a belligerent drunk and he took his hand and rubbed his hand on his junk and put it in a little white boy faces when you want to taste penis of a giant and put it all up in

his nose and everything. And so the guy has come out and they are after him, but they're also going after Chris Cuomo. But we knew that. We knew they was gonn kind of go atter Chris Cuomo because of the brother. But Don Lemons ain't got no sexual allegations were taking that is a sexual allegation? Is that sexual harassment? Or is that a scratching sniff? Is that a scratching sna not want to sniff? You're junk yuh so? But yeah, so, like I said, um, I'm not surprised by it. I'm

glad that they're okay, But I don't know. I feel like that's the whole purpose of the views for them

to go in on people. So I don't think that they would have like attacked Kamala Harris, but I feel like they would have made some very um emphatic points with her, and they would have probably made her look inadequate because those two together, especially especially Sunny, when Sunny and Sunny wanted to talk about the Haitian immigrants because it's personal to her because her husband is, she should But I don't think that. I don't think that they

would have come at her in a disrespectful way. It would have if anything, knowing Anna and Sonny really Anna, knowing how much she hates Donald Trump, I don't think she's gonna, you know, throw Kamala Harris under the bus, considering that they were both women of color, and that may be ero element, but this is just my exactly, That's what I'm saying. I don't think that they would ever intentionally throw the first black woman who's a VP

just completely under the bus. Now, would they come at her and ask her some hard hitting questions absolutely, and I think of ABC wanted to avoid that to say that, to say this show more so than network, cause the view is because he's not on the will Be's still on there, will Be just sounding a four year deal, honey to get her triple to money she was getting because another person here came on there and told her, my sister, they're making a fool of you, my sister,

you're not getting your worth. My sister will be stay quiet, laid low, waiting her time out, and it paid off. My heart. I ain't saying ship yes, playing talking when I'm in Atlanta because I'm hosting the one year anniversary of the Black Effect Network with Horrible Decisions and eight and we're gonna have a great time. Charletage gonna be there. Congratulations to Charlemagne the Goud and his wife. They just welcome their fourth child into the world. They a new daughter.

Her name is Rihance. It's a combination of Rihanna and Beyonce. Seriously, Rihance, that's what Charletmagne told me. So if it's the last Charlemagne, you told me, that's what you told me. So. If I'm laying you told me that lasted out on the fren show. Oh my god, no, he told me what the baby it was. They the baby her name is Riance. I think that's actually cute though. Okay, um so segway

with staying in California and speaking about reparations. That that that that story, law Lauren cracked that story two or three weeks ago. It was months ago. We talked about this, but you were the one who brought that to find

it happened. So tell it, Lauren, tell it. So m In a history making moves celebrated by reparations advocates and social justice leaders across California, Governor Gavin Newsom has authorized the return of property known as Bruce's Beach, which is actually Manhattan Beach today, to the descendants of a black couple that had been run out of Manhattan Beach almost

a century ago. So It's Sentate. Bill seven nine six was signed into law Thursday by Newsome before an excited crowd that had gathered on the property confirmed that the city's taking of the shore front land on which the Bruce's ran, a thriving resort for black beach goers, was radically motivated and done under the false and unlawful pretenses Now,

let me personally ask you how does that work? Because they bought the family bought that land back in NW but it was so and then they took it away from them and saying that they claimed imminent domain or something they needed to build a park. Yeah yeah, yeah, but they never did to build the damn park. But so now when they transferred all this power over to them, Now, so all the businesses and the hotels and everything that's on that set, would all that money go to them?

You mean all of the money that like the revenue that the businesses may, well, they got to pay their mortgages. Yeah, so they'd be paying them. Excellent. What about the back pay? Will they get any back pay? That I didn't read. But my thing is, I'm just glad that we've got some landownership. Now. Should they get the back pay? Absolutely for a hundred years? Good god change, should they even need the power ball? Let me get the back pay. And you know what's so crazy is that Bruce's Beach

was filled with so many black folks. In Manhattan Beach today, black residents to this day only make up less than one percent of the population. Well, that's because when the original owners had it and when you read the story, they were harassed, they were beating, they were thread and everything, public bills, set their properties on fire. Nothing worked, So that's why the city came in and had to basically

just take it away from them. And now it goes back to Alice and Lewis, who's wonder by flame Man's who was a campaign who said that we have to get in government because of course back then, they didn't have nobody that look like us in government a hundred years ago, and they put their people in positions of power and created laws to do exactly what they wanted to do. So thank God for redemption and payback. It's the mother Hubbard and sweet when you get your turn

to come on back. Because my only concern is now now that they owned the land, I hope that they don't. I don't have to read the whole bill, but I hope that there's not some loophole that they've got to pay these fees and pay this and pay that. I hope that they were just giving the land back outright and nothing else came with it. Girl, you know how

to of works. Not I'm saying Gavin Newsom, maybe I'm thinking maybe he looked at some of the numbers and realized a lot of black folks in California voted for him, so this was kind of like the least he could do. So I hope that they made the bill airtight, that these descendants from the Bruce family can just have the land and they can just now receive money and actually create some financial wealth for their generational wealth. I'm staying cool with Gavin News because you know he's the nephew

of my baby. Yes, you know that is my sweetheart, Nancy. Hey boo. Me and Nancy got a love thing going on. I'm gonna take you know. I know she's gonna love me because I'm gonna share my diaper with I'm gonna share the same type, and I'm gonna that's love. That's love, Baby, When you share a diper, that's love. That's called love.

It is um. The primaries have coming up, y'allo. I've gotten several emails about so if we're gonna talk about the primaries, there's a lot of concern about Raphael Warnock, mainly because that is the senator to the the black guy and Georgia who was the pastor, yes or reverend. They don't like him. There's some mixed feelings amongst us about him. We always but the issue was they were from what I'm being told, it was easier to get him elected

because he was running with John ass Off. It was easier to push their agenda as a kind of like a co ticket kind of thing that they weren't. But because he's now on his own, and you know, there was a lot of allegations that came out against him during his race, there's some concerns that he's really gonna need some heavy lifting to get him re elected. Well, the X wife came out with a whole bunch of stuff, didn't she had a girlfriend and there was there was

a girlfriend. They came out and said, like, you know, he abused her and all this other stuff, and it was great propaganda for the other side. So there's a little bit of concern that he's gonna need some extra heavy lifting to really get him re elected because he's by himself. Okay, so let me put you all in the box on this one. Why would he need the extra heavy list thing if he was just being accused

of stuff? Y'all? Didn't hear him say publicly that he could grab a woman by the vagina and still get elected. Y'all didn't hear this man publicly say that he could shoot somebody on Fifth Avenue and get away with it. I'm just I'm just saying he never said those words publicly, but Trump did, and Trump became the president. Okay, but we know that there's a double standard. Well that's what I'm saying. And I'm talking to black folks right now. Y'all got to make sure that y'all understand that it's

not always about winning the battle. You've got to win the war. And in order for us to win the war, we ain't gonna always like every battle that we won or lost, but the big pictures all the way at the end, we gotta get to the big picture. Y'all keep falling apart. That's why the damn Democrats all over

the place now. Yeah, so there's there's been some concern about him for and if we lose any more seats really in the the House and the House of Representatives too, because our majority is very slim as it is now, and they jump and ship left and right, with a lot of them going to a lot of Democrats have turned moderate not to go republic libertarian or something made up, some new ship anything to say that they're not Democratic

or Republican. I saw. I was actually watching Bill Maher a little bit while I was in Florida, and there was a woman sitting on the panel and she was like, if you guys don't want to be a Democrat or Republican, you can come be a libertarian. We're a great party and we kind of we're the new party and we

make sense. And she was really advocating for it, and I was like, Lord Jesus um, because that's how you split votes is if you don't vote Republican or Democrat, you start voting in between the different That's how you split the vote and why somebody doesn't get elected or you get somebody like Trump in office. That's exactly what happened. And on the view today, one of his uh, somebody who worked in his cabinet came out and blew the whistle.

And then some young young lady came out. She wrote a book to tell all, to tell all, to tell all, and I get all to tell I was coming out later and after the fact, but I wish somebody would have just had enough courage and enough balls in in that position at that time, when he was there to say, no, this is not what's happened in your line. But but I was afraid of losing their positions, or losing their lives, or losing their going to bridge and whatever, because a

lot of heads have rolled behind Trump. Just not here. A lot of heads have rolled behind sticking up for Donald Trump. For sure, we are fucked. Let me just see you. But but but not here at Laughing, because here at Laughing, we don't We're not. We are critical thinking people here, and we allow you to think for yourselves and do what you want to do.
