So, okay, so we are winding

1:49

1:51

live every other week. So let me explain

1:53

this. We're going to go live on

1:55

YouTube, where

1:57

we are now, and then we're going to

1:59

go live on Substack. So,

2:01

but this is something, the

2:04

lives, it's going to be something that we

2:06

are going to do for our members and

2:08

our paid subscribers. It's free today, but just

2:10

wanted to give you a sample of some

2:12

of the things we're doing in addition to

2:14

our regular show. Well, I'm

2:16

drinking prima pavé, you

2:19

have coffee, and

2:21

we are running it down. My

2:23

favorite kind of coffee, instant nescafe,

2:25

okay? We're not going with a

2:27

fancy schmancy. We like it instant. We've

2:30

got our Enoch Pratt Library

2:32

Cup, and we're ready to go. What's

2:35

in your coffee? Do you

2:37

add like a vanilla flavored,

2:39

you know, creamer? It's

2:42

a non -dairy

2:44

creamer and the flavor that

2:46

I'm doing right now is

2:48

non -dairy and it's Italian cream. So

2:52

it's non -dairy

2:54

Italian cream creamer. I

2:57

love that. I love that.

2:59

I am waiting if you guys see

3:01

me looking down. I'm always like doing

3:03

so many different things when we're on

3:05

this show, but that's because I'm communicating

3:08

with producers and we're trying to also

3:10

do this live on Instagram. We're

3:12

trying to figure it out. So I'm waiting

3:14

on a notification to see if we can

3:16

do that. But meanwhile we're live here on

3:18

YouTube and so everybody. So what's

3:20

your wind down Chickadee? How's your week gone?

3:22

It's Thursday. It has been

3:25

for you busy bee. It's been

3:27

a little bit too busy. I'm a little bit a little

3:29

stressed a little stressed my a little I'm a

3:31

little back -to -back -to -back We're trying to get one, you

3:33

know wind the schedule down a little bit, but

3:35

it hasn't worked But I never got the chance to

3:37

give everyone the update on the ghost situation

3:39

So my wind down was gonna be

3:41

on that because I know people were interested in

3:43

the ghost Thank you all for jumping in the

3:45

comments and asking about the spirits that might be

3:47

living in my co -op in New York

3:49

City I am pleased

3:52

to announce that the

3:54

co -op, as of now,

3:56

is ghost -free. The daughter

3:58

and I, as well as our

4:00

friend Juan, we went over, we

4:02

stayed, we hung out all day

4:04

and for what? Three straight days

4:06

in the co -op. The

4:09

daughter and I slept overnight in the co -op.

4:11

But before that, we made sure the co -op

4:13

was ghost -free. So we set ourselves up for

4:15

success. We didn't just count on the ghost to

4:17

just be cool with us. I did a

4:20

couple of things. I looked up who died

4:22

in this house .com. It's like there's a

4:24

who died in this house website. So you

4:26

can find out who lived in the house.

4:28

We got the name of the little lady. So

4:31

I'm like, I know what I'm dealing with. And it is a lady. And

4:34

that's actually, I had bought the place from her

4:36

son. So I knew it was a lady, but I just wanted to make

4:38

sure I had the name. Then we had

4:40

to find the white sage, because I had missed

4:42

my appointment with the guy who was going

4:44

to local jumpy the place for me. So since

4:46

I missed it, and then Miss Kim and

4:48

her pastor friend were like, don't local jumpy the

4:50

house, because you might actually make more girls

4:52

come in. So then I was completely like, confused.

4:54

was like, I don't know if I should

4:56

go jump in the house or not. But I

4:58

was like, I've got to ensure that I

5:00

don't have a haunting. So what we did is

5:02

Wanjira knew the exact person to get the

5:04

good white sage from. And the way you get

5:06

good white sage, if you're in Harlem, is you've

5:08

got to find the right Shea Butter

5:11

Man. Because the Shea Butter Man is very

5:13

likely to also have the white sage

5:15

and also the Moko Jumbi equipment. So we're

5:17

like, we're going to find, but she

5:19

knew exactly the right guy. African guy, he's

5:21

the Shea Butter Man. So he

5:23

sells, of course, Shea Butter. Incense.

5:27

If you know you're at the right place

5:29

when you're in Harlem, you've

5:31

got the African Shea Butter. And

5:34

he's got the various forms of incense. So

5:36

he had all of the things that

5:38

he needed in order to equip us for

5:40

success. So we go to the right

5:42

local Jumbie guy. He's got the white sage.

5:44

We buy the white sage. I also

5:46

bought some black soap because you also know

5:49

he's legit because he sells the black

5:51

soap. If they don't sell the black

5:53

soap and the shea butter. And

5:55

incense is of various forms. They're not

5:57

the right guy. You got to go with

5:59

different Harlem Shea Butter, man. But it's got all

6:01

of the things. I bought some black soap. Of course, you

6:03

got to have black soap. I did not

6:05

buy Shea Butter because I've always had lots of Shea

6:07

Butter, but I'm shiny. And I

6:09

bought the white sage and I bought two kinds.

6:11

I bought the incense white sage and I

6:13

bought the actual natural white sage so that we

6:15

could walk through the house. I went back

6:18

to the place, walked through each

6:20

room, called out the lady and said,

6:22

hey, lady, hey, friend. It's

6:24

just me, Joy. I'm in your

6:26

house. I know I did some rentals and it

6:28

probably looks a little weird. You know, it's

6:30

probably not looking familiar to you, but do not

6:32

be alarmed. All of these renovations were really

6:34

good. So here's what we're going to do, lady. You

6:37

and me, we're going to have an arrangement. You

6:39

stay the hell away from me. Don't

6:42

come near me and scare me. Don't

6:44

pop out and show inwards. Just

6:46

leave me alone and I'll leave

6:48

you alone. So you offer her the

6:51

opportunity to cohabitate? You don't want

6:53

to banish her? Well, I mean, I did tell her, I

6:55

did say to her that, you know, you see the

6:57

light, that that light that you see, you should go in

6:59

it. You should just walk right in there

7:01

and you should just go in there because

7:03

that's a great place for you to be. And

7:05

so if you go into the light, right,

7:08

and I stay here in the place, we're

7:10

cool. You know what I mean? You

7:12

know, a lot of times, you

7:14

know, when you read and hear stories

7:16

of ghosts and a lot of

7:18

times they're existing in a space here

7:20

on earth because they're stuck. There's

7:23

something about the sage helps them find something about the

7:25

sage. I don't know the full philosophy of it

7:27

because I'm only half African And you know and the

7:29

Caribbean side they believe in Duffy, you know So

7:31

it was like they I do believe that there's a

7:33

Duffy and that's what they call ghosts But but

7:35

I'm like so I know that sometimes they just get

7:37

stuck and they just don't know how to go

7:39

But you had it you cut the sage helps them

7:41

pretty much find their way out So I was

7:44

like, you know, you know, and they get alarmed by

7:46

the Renault because they're like this don't even look

7:48

like my house What's happening? So I just wanted her

7:50

to understand that I'm not harming anything. I'm cool.

7:52

I'm a good person, I'm friendly, but I don't

7:54

want her around. You know what I mean? It's like, it's not like

7:56

you don't got to go home is what I'm saying, but you got to

7:58

get the hell out of this court. But

8:00

you said it very kindly.

8:02

Very nicely. Very, very nicely. And

8:05

to my credit, I will give myself

8:07

credit. I did not see

8:09

her nor did the daughter who's better at perceiving them.

8:11

Sends her in the house at all. So we managed it,

8:13

but but she did stuff with my girl and daughter. She's

8:16

like, but I'm sleeping in bed with you She was like, I

8:18

am not going in that other room. So

8:20

she didn't really fully play out the you know, the

8:22

way it really could have gone So she was

8:24

squirreling about what's that? I was squirreling about the other

8:26

side, but we were fine. I mean it was

8:28

no we had no ghostly encounters

8:30

no No negative encounters all was

8:32

fine. I self local jumpy in my place

8:34

and I feel good about it girl

8:36

What you say, I know I

8:38

will see you in a couple

8:41

of weeks in New York City. And

8:43

when I tell you, I was going to

8:45

stay with you, but I will be

8:47

getting a hotel room. I will not be

8:49

stepping foot. Come on

8:51

over. Come on up. Come on. No,

8:53

ma 'am. I don't want some ghosts leaving

8:55

on my back, getting in my bag, being

8:59

like, let me go home with her and haunt

9:01

her. No, ma 'am. Oh,

9:03

no, they like the South. If you like you live in

9:05

the South, they might be like, oh, I'm coming with you. That's what all

9:07

the other girls are at. That's why I'm going to live in

9:09

here. Oh, see that's one

9:11

I would never there's no there's not enough

9:13

white sage in the world to fix

9:15

Lake Lanier Lake Lanier is so haunted and

9:17

so cursed if you go on there you don't

9:19

do that I would say definitely don't go on

9:21

Lake Lanier, you know Queen of

9:23

Fua We had

9:26

a house right near Lake

9:28

Lanier here in this area and

9:30

I went there for a dinner

9:32

and girl I was the

9:34

only, it was two of us

9:36

that were at the dinner that were

9:38

from Georgia. Yeah. And, you

9:40

know, going to Gwinnett County, where Oprah

9:42

back in the day did that town

9:44

hall and with all those white people

9:46

because they ran the black people out.

9:48

And Jose Williams had the march there

9:51

and all that kind of stuff. That's

9:53

where Lake Lanier is, right? And

9:56

it is believed to be

9:58

haunted because there are graves of

10:00

black people. You know, the

10:02

whole town is under there.

10:04

They bury the whole town

10:06

and fill it with water.

10:09

I don't play with Lake Lanier.

10:11

And I told that woman,

10:14

you need to find another house.

10:16

And eventually she did, but she didn't know

10:18

that history. But when I tell you when

10:20

we all left dinner, we had a caravan.

10:22

We all, because it was all black women

10:24

and we followed each other to the main

10:27

highway because she was, you know, it's back

10:29

in the woods and stuff. Baby. Mm

10:31

-hmm. Mm -hmm. And she didn't have

10:33

no curtains. It was just open.

10:35

Girl, down here, a lot of people

10:37

don't have curtains because they just have open

10:39

windows. She had open windows. Uh -uh. Baby,

10:41

no. No, no, no, no, no.

10:43

Well, let me tell you my wind down

10:45

real quick. Please. I'm glad you are satisfied with

10:47

the girl's situation, but I won't be staying there.

10:50

Love you, but no, thank you.

10:52

I'm not even coming over. You're

10:55

gonna love it. You gotta at

10:57

least come because it's such a

10:59

beautiful building. You really gotta come

11:01

just as a historic building in

11:03

a very like black history focused

11:05

space. You gotta come see it. You're

11:07

coming to daytime. I

11:10

don't mess with ghosts. I don't know. You

11:12

need to get some religious people up in

11:14

there. You need like... Oh no, we're still gonna

11:16

make an appointment. I'm gonna get the guy

11:18

back. I just missed my appointment because I had

11:20

to be in... Maybe can do that while

11:22

I'm there. Now, if you do that, you

11:24

know, maybe I'll come, but then they jump

11:27

into you and... I don't want all that.

11:29

I don't that. Well, see, they don't... Not

11:31

all ghosts jump into you. That's the demons.

11:34

See, there's no But how do you know

11:36

what you're dealing with? You could have a

11:38

whole... know what you're dealing with

11:40

See I don't see that stuff.

11:42

I can't sense it. I can't feel

11:44

it. I'm an animal impact That's

11:46

as far as I go. You got

11:48

some dead animals there. Maybe I

11:50

can connect with them, but that's it.

11:52

No, ma 'am. Mm -hmm. Let's say

11:54

you wind down. So my wind down

11:56

is girl I am

11:58

loving Substack and I have to say

12:00

to you, when I tell you I'm spending most

12:02

of my time, it's like I saw you texting

12:05

last night and I started to say, girl, I

12:07

just finished my Substack. Because

12:09

my goal was to get it out

12:11

by noon, but now I'm getting it

12:13

out right before midnight. So I'm trying

12:15

to get ahead so I can do

12:17

it. But I really love what Substack

12:19

is and it was you that said

12:22

to me, You know, we

12:24

got to get read this read that on

12:26

sub stack. You got to get on sub

12:28

stack and I absolutely love it Yeah,

12:30

and I just want to talk

12:32

about so I've got my vegan

12:34

sexy cool newsletter. That's once a

12:36

week beautiful Which I'm dragging you

12:38

into because it's great. It's like

12:40

vegan 101. It is It was

12:42

so helpful and simple and straightforward. That's

12:45

really it was really excellent That's the

12:47

thing. Did you feel compelled to finally become vegan after

12:49

you read? I mean, I had a peanut butter

12:51

sandwich this morning. So as long as I it's too

12:53

complicated. But I like that you laid

12:55

it out. I

12:57

think about it. I'm going

12:59

to convince you one day you're going to

13:01

be like, girl, I read your newsletter

13:03

and I am in. I'm going to keep

13:05

reading. I'm going in, I'm

13:07

going in, but go on, keep going. But no,

13:09

no, I was going to say, with Substack, I like

13:11

you have been going to people and saying, like

13:13

I went to my friend, Sybil Wilkes, you know, from

13:15

the Tom Jordan morning show. And I was like,

13:17

girl, you got to get on Substack. And

13:20

people are like, sub who? Right.

13:23

And that's how I was, because you've known about it

13:25

for a long time. Well, no, my friend, Yashara

13:27

Lee, I have to give him credit. And he's very

13:29

popular on social media. He used to be very

13:31

popular on Twitter back when it was Twitter. And he's

13:33

been telling me, four years, you've got to get

13:35

a sub stack. And I never heard of it until

13:37

he told me about it. And he was like,

13:39

you are missing it. And when he knew I had

13:41

a book coming out, this was years ago

13:44

when I had, I think, my first or second

13:46

book coming out. He's like, you've got to get

13:48

it before you do your book coming out, because

13:50

it's the perfect way to inform your audience. of

13:52

a book coming out and he's like a newsletter

13:54

is better than a website because you actually have

13:56

an emails of people they sign up so that

13:58

you can blast information to your specific people who

14:00

have demonstrated that they care what you

14:02

think and so he's like you really need

14:05

him he was really a big evangelist

14:07

of it and I'm on it now

14:09

and I love it absolutely love it girl

14:11

they need to be paying you some

14:13

kind of finders fee because you are assigned.

14:15

I was talking to somebody I was doing an

14:17

interview with a woman on my three day

14:19

wellness and I was we were talking after and

14:21

I was telling her about substack and I

14:23

was like how you got me on there and

14:25

she's already on there but she's you know

14:27

why she got on there because she heard you

14:29

talking about it. Oh well there you go.

14:31

Yeah, I mean we love the YouTube too. Let's

14:33

not leave YouTube out. We love we love

14:36

you too. You know, we love YouTube. Absolutely. I

14:38

I figure that out but that's like our

14:40

main thing but now read this read that is

14:42

also on sub stack and then I

14:44

followed and now I'm doing a newsletter every

14:46

day called lean in That's the Jackie

14:48

Reed stuff, but I've also got the vegan

14:50

sexy cool stuff. And then it's just

14:52

trying to figure out what I'm going to

14:54

put behind a paywall and what I'm

14:56

going to do for free. And I'm

14:58

just kind of asking people for grace

15:00

as I try to figure it out.

15:03

But I love it so much. And

15:05

I want everybody to be on it

15:07

because for now it feels troll free. That's

15:10

what I love about it. Right. Yes. There's

15:12

no algorithm that you have to follow.

15:14

And there's the people who are following you

15:16

are doing so intentionally. They don't stumble

15:18

across your stuff. And so like

15:20

I, there's, it's all love. Like it's such

15:22

a great platform. And the way that I've

15:24

kept so, you know, so the joy and

15:27

read .com, I used to have a joy and

15:29

read .com, like normal webpage, but I converted

15:31

that to just be my sub stack. And

15:33

I'm loving it. Cause number one, I then don't have a

15:35

whole website. I have to keep up, which was a lot

15:37

of work. Um, And

15:39

now I just keep up the substack and what I

15:41

love about it is I can do not only

15:43

Hey, this is where I'm gonna be I

15:45

can cat you do my little calendar there

15:47

But the way that I deal with

15:50

the paid piece is the only thing

15:52

that I put behind a paywall

15:54

is commenting for now I'm like for now

15:56

if you you can read my stuff for free

15:58

on joy and read calm and I please hope

16:00

that you all will sign up You can sign up for

16:02

free read whatever you want for free, but if you want to

16:04

chat to me That's what I

16:06

put behind the paywall because I think a troll

16:08

isn't going to take that extra step of

16:11

paying to scream at me.

16:13

You know, you can scream at me

16:15

for free on Instagram and Facebook

16:17

or whatever. Yeah, but I'm not going to let you scream

16:19

at me on my newsletter. You know, if you want

16:21

to if you want to chat to me, that's

16:23

where I put behind the paywall because it just it

16:26

keeps the trolls and a lot of those of

16:28

us who are media people like you and me that

16:30

are like that come from that world and that

16:32

have like a sort of public facing life. A

16:34

lot of us are using Substack that way

16:36

to keep trolls to a minimum. We

16:38

pay while commenting because just it's so it's

16:41

such a breath of fresh air because then the

16:43

things that people are saying, these are

16:45

people who've taken that extra step of

16:47

caring what you think and really have really

16:49

thoughtful comments. And the comments are more

16:51

meaningful, you know, because these are people who

16:53

really take the extra step to subscribe

16:55

and they have really interesting things to say.

16:58

Yeah. No, I agree. I

17:00

love it. Yeah. But this is

17:02

helping me. You, you know,

17:04

Joanne is really my, uh, manager,

17:07

uh, marketing director. And

17:10

I want to make her write a book.

17:12

Yeah. And write and, and soon to be

17:14

my publisher or a publishing agent, I should

17:16

say, because she is, she's not, and I

17:18

was going to text you the other day

17:20

and say, where do you write a book?

17:24

You know what I mean? What

17:26

platform do you write it where

17:28

someone can't steal your content? I'm

17:30

worried about that. You know I mean? Because

17:32

I'm like, well, do I just go in Word

17:34

and start writing? And I know there's certain

17:36

apps and tools that you can use, but with

17:39

the way the world is, what's taking someone

17:41

from stealing your content? No, what and that's why

17:43

you have to be really careful and this

17:45

is the other piece sub stack is great because

17:47

it's also your You own your mailing list

17:49

everything. It's very protected and when people can always

17:51

do your content a screenshot Whatever you've done and

17:53

they can take it but I would say if

17:55

you're like for instance an artist like you know,

17:57

you know my the the oldest daughter is an

18:00

artist She's basically off Instagram for that reason because

18:02

if you are an artist and you put

18:04

your art on Instagram know that It will

18:06

be probably stolen and AI people will take

18:08

it and repurpose it And I've talked to

18:10

a lot of cartoonists and illustrators who have

18:12

come off of Instagram because of the fear

18:14

of their work being stolen Especially visual art

18:16

being stolen and people also who are not

18:19

taking as many, you know, and you'll know

18:21

I used to be very selfie I used

18:23

to have lots and lots of photos of

18:25

myself those my family lots of selfies I've

18:27

done less and less of that because then

18:29

people can take those images and repurpose them

18:32

For AI and I already got got when

18:34

they did the fake gummy thing They were

18:36

taking video of me that was real video

18:38

and real photos that were on my Instagram

18:40

and repurposing them to fake that I was

18:42

selling these gummies and they were making all

18:44

this money Hawking gummies that I don't even

18:46

know what these gummies are They could be

18:48

harming people making people sick and they've got

18:51

my image me and Anderson Cooper Supposedly selling

18:53

these gummies. So yeah, mean it put

18:55

online Any image you put online can be

18:57

stolen girl right now. There's a there's so

18:59

many weird AI things I'm

19:02

just like, this is crazy. It

19:04

gets crazy. I know. And that's why

19:06

I, sub stack feels like a

19:08

safe space. Yes. You know I mean?

19:10

I've gotten so many lovely messages

19:12

from people. It's just really been nice.

19:14

Yeah. So it's like my new

19:16

favorite place more than I used to

19:18

be like Instagram girl. Yeah. I

19:20

was just always on Instagram, but now

19:22

I realized that that can only

19:24

take me so far. Um, and

19:26

that sub stack is, is really building a

19:28

business. It really is built a better place

19:30

to build a brand for me. I mean,

19:32

and they're not paying me to say that

19:34

I just And they don't pay you to

19:36

do and the thing is what the way

19:38

I kind of and I have a lot

19:40

of different social media I'm off x twitter

19:42

I should kind of regret, you know completely

19:45

deleting and getting rid of my name because

19:47

there's a fake me on x twitter That's

19:49

not me if you see that's why I

19:51

wouldn't leave. I said that to you I

19:53

said I'm not I don't I'm not active

19:55

but I'm not leaving because I don't want

19:57

somebody to take my name Yeah, and they

19:59

and that happened to me already so I

20:01

may have to go reclaim my name over

20:03

there, but um I use I use instagram

20:05

to curate a news feed so basically what

20:07

if you if you follow me on instagram

20:09

That's where I kind of try to give

20:11

daily news and get because there are a

20:13

lot of people who get their news now

20:15

from instagram and tiktok so I use tiktok

20:17

and uh and tiktok and instagram to just

20:19

be like hey here's some news you need

20:21

to know And I just really lean into

20:23

that. I have another little Instagram called, um,

20:25

the read carpet where, uh, the style Marshall,

20:27

my stylist and I kind of put up

20:29

fashion kind of stuff and it's fun. That's

20:31

the style Marshall. The style Marshall Danielle, the

20:33

style Marshall baby. Follow her at me. I

20:35

am the style Marshall, uh, at on, uh,

20:37

on Instagram. She's fantastic. I love

20:39

that. But we do that and we kind

20:41

of co -curate that one to do like,

20:43

you know, you know, looks to tell people,

20:45

because people will often be like, what were

20:47

you wearing at X event? Like, who made

20:49

that? And so that's what that's where you'll

20:51

find out who made if you're if I'm

20:53

wearing something you like, it's on there. So

20:55

that's the carpet. And then I use TikTok

20:58

to do, you know, some talky, you know,

21:00

like, you know, breakdowns of information. But I

21:02

really do my daily writing and my daily,

21:04

these are my thoughts on on Substack. Girl,

21:07

21:09

22:37

get to our shit you

22:40

need to know And we're starting

22:42

we believe to know shit

22:44

They do they do and we

22:46

got the shit you need

22:48

We're starting with these crazy deportations

22:50

which I have to say

22:52

Have just and I wrote about

22:55

this on my latest newsletter

22:57

on substack. It just it really

22:59

kind of Just broke my

23:01

spirit this whole situation when

23:03

the Supreme Court weighed

23:05

in and said You

23:08

know when they were trying to bring

23:10

back this makeup artist, right? Yes And

23:12

just you know quick backstory for you

23:14

guys, but this has been in the

23:16

news so much I know probably what

23:18

most of you all know about it

23:20

and that is you know Donald Trump

23:22

who campaigned on deporting hardened criminals, you

23:25

know that were here illegally from the

23:27

country You know,

23:29

he campaigned on that, but what

23:31

he's actually doing is illegal

23:33

and unconstitutional. And that is he's

23:35

just grabbing people off the

23:37

street. And, you

23:40

know, without due process

23:42

and sending them to

23:44

prisons around the world,

23:46

particularly El Salvador, where,

23:48

you know, they may never be

23:51

heard of again. And there was a

23:53

particular makeup artist who was snatched

23:55

up. who was here legally, and

23:57

had the proper paperwork, like a

23:59

judge approved that he could stay

24:01

in the country until all the

24:03

paperwork got worked out. And by

24:05

the way, it was because he

24:07

had a year of persecution in

24:10

Venezuela because he is gay, but

24:12

go on. Yeah, he's gay, makeup

24:14

artist. They deported him. And

24:17

his lawyers haven't spoken to him. He was supposed

24:19

to show up for a hearing and never did.

24:21

That's how they found out something was up. And

24:23

a federal judge heard

24:25

this situation and said, bring

24:27

this man back. Trump

24:30

went to the Supreme Court, and

24:32

the Supreme Court ruled in favor

24:34

of Trump. And now

24:36

this man's family may never see

24:38

or hear from him again. That

24:41

to me is crazy. And

24:43

now he's talking about floating

24:45

around the idea of deporting

24:47

American citizens. Yes. who are

24:49

hardened criminals or repeat offenders.

24:52

But my thing about that is

24:54

you said that's what you were

24:56

going to do with people that

24:58

were undocumented or not citizens. It

25:01

was just going to be hard criminals,

25:03

but you're just deporting everyday people. Disappearing

25:06

people I love that you know, I

25:08

heard that first from you that that term

25:10

disappearing people is you know, very adequate

25:12

But what what are your thoughts on this

25:14

and what's the any any updates from

25:16

what I'm saying because I know you're following

25:18

this I had to put unplug I

25:20

watched that 60 minutes piece Which I hope

25:22

everybody you told me about that and

25:24

I ended up watching it and I'm telling

25:26

you I was just in tears because

25:28

this man is just getting away with everything.

25:30

It's just disheartening And that's just one

25:33

of the people. There's a guy from Maryland

25:35

who they admit was actually wrongly deported.

25:37

They're not admitting that this young man, the

25:39

makeup artist was wrongly deported, but there's

25:41

a Maryland man who the regime, as I

25:43

call them, actually admits was wrongly deported,

25:45

was taken by mistake. They're claiming

25:47

that all of these men who are Venezuelan, most

25:49

of them are men, they're claiming

25:51

that they're a part of this

25:53

thing called Trende Aragua, which is

25:55

a notorious Venezuelan gang, a violent

25:58

Venezuelan gang. So they're using... something

26:00

called the Alien Enemies Act of

26:02

1789, 1798. And it's a wartime

26:04

law that has only been used

26:06

during the War of 1812, World

26:08

War I and World War II

26:11

to detain people that you claim

26:13

are part of the people you're

26:15

at war with, that are loyal

26:17

to the people with whom we

26:19

are at war. Number one, we're

26:22

not at war with Tren de

26:24

Aragua. Okay, we're not at war

26:26

with Venezuela. So that doesn't make

26:28

any sense. The last time

26:30

that we used that that a

26:32

president used the alien enemies act of

26:34

1798 was in World War two

26:37

when Japanese Americans not Japanese foreigners, but

26:39

Japanese Americans were locked in concentration

26:41

camps by FDR remember that Including the

26:43

guy who played mr. Sulu on

26:45

his family when he was a kid

26:47

was locked up in a concentration

26:50

camp With his family because they are

26:52

he's American. They are a Japanese

26:54

Americans. That's the last time that it

26:56

was used Based solely on

26:58

being of Japanese origin and there was actually

27:00

one black man who ended up in there,

27:02

too There's a whole interesting story about a

27:04

black man that ended up blocked in there,

27:06

too Because his good friends that he lives

27:08

in a community of Japanese Americans and he

27:11

wanted to be with his friend and ended

27:13

up going in there That's a long different

27:15

story. So this should be completely illegal a

27:17

judge ordered the return as you said of

27:19

one of the men who was wrongly detained

27:21

the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, John

27:23

Roberts, blocked the appeal and basically stayed the

27:25

demand that that man be brought back. So

27:27

you have the Chief Justice of the Supreme

27:29

Court being like, nah, lead that man in

27:31

there. Then separately, they

27:34

ruled 5 -4 in favor

27:36

of allowing the Trump

27:39

regime to continue using this

27:41

war or this wartime

27:43

law to conduct, quote unquote,

27:45

a regular, that they're claiming that Tren

27:47

de Aragua is conducting irregular warfare

27:49

against the US. Therefore, they can deport

27:51

anyone they think is a part

27:53

of this gang. The way they're deciding

27:55

that you're in this gang is

27:58

tattoos. There's one guy who they sent

28:00

over there into, and this place that they're

28:02

sending them is not in Venezuela. So

28:04

let's just be clear. They're not returning

28:06

these people to Venezuela. No, it's El

28:08

Salvador. Correct. And the guy

28:10

who is the autocratic leader of El

28:12

Salvador said, Hey, if you pay me

28:14

a fee, I'll take whatever prisoners you

28:16

want to send me pay. And

28:18

they're, and we are now paying or

28:20

essentially selling these people to this guy

28:23

in the leader of El Salvador. And

28:25

he's putting them in this notorious prison

28:27

where the worst of the worst

28:29

are that 60 minute story showed you

28:31

that prison where they grabbed them. They

28:33

put them in like slave chains. They

28:35

hogtied them. They make them bend over.

28:37

They shaved. their heads, the

28:39

hairdresser, they show him in the 60 minutes piece.

28:41

This guy is terrified of crying for his mom. These

28:44

people are not even being sent to

28:46

their home country. They're being sent to

28:48

El Salvador, to this notorious prison where

28:50

Kristi Noem, our Homeland Security Director, posed

28:52

for pictures in front of the jail

28:54

with all the half -naked men. That's

28:56

where she was. Yeah. And they're

28:58

not even, I just want to jump

29:00

in and just underline what you're saying

29:03

here because I think this is really

29:05

important for people to grasp, right? You

29:07

can deport someone and just send them

29:09

to a different country. Right send them send

29:11

them to their home country, which is

29:13

what? But what they're doing

29:15

is not only sending sending them

29:17

to a country that they have no

29:19

connection to but Imprisoning them they're

29:22

putting a lot of these people that

29:24

60 minutes report says 75 % of

29:26

the the hundreds who have been

29:28

deported don't have criminal record record process

29:30

and sending them to prison You

29:32

can send somebody and say this is

29:34

worse treatment than Nazis Correct. That

29:36

never happened to Nazis. Yeah, never. Who

29:38

were caught in this country and

29:40

reported and sent back to Germany. To

29:42

Germany. Right. not in the prison.

29:44

No. They're not sending these Venezuelans to

29:46

Venezuela. And I think this is

29:48

really important. They're sending him to a

29:50

third country to prison. And these

29:52

people are now locked up and may

29:54

never be seen again. That's why

29:56

they're saying these people are being disappeared.

29:59

They're not being deported. If you're deported, it

30:01

means if you're from Guyana, they land your

30:03

ass in Guyana. If you're from India, they

30:05

land your ass in India. And you are

30:07

free to go when you land. You don't

30:09

end up in prison. But in this case,

30:11

these people and either way, they'd be in

30:14

prison because in many cases, like the hairdresser,

30:16

if they were to send him to Venezuela,

30:18

he'd probably be prison door killed because he

30:20

was. having his asylum hearing was about him

30:22

being in fear for his life in Venezuela.

30:24

It is perfectly legal to come to the

30:26

United States and ask for asylum. That is

30:29

not a crime. It is not illegal to

30:31

present yourself at the border and say, I

30:33

need asylum, but they're turning that into a

30:35

crime. And even if you come in and

30:37

don't present yourself and disappear into the country,

30:39

it's a misdemeanor. It's not a felony. So

30:41

you're not supposed to end up in prison

30:43

for, but that's what they're doing. The

30:46

five four ruling in which Amy Coney

30:48

Barrett joined the women. And all four

30:50

of the women voted, you cannot do

30:52

this. All five of the right wing

30:54

men voted, yeah, you can do it.

30:56

Let me just read you what

30:58

Sonia Sotomayor, who wrote the primary

31:00

dissent in this case, Amy Cooney

31:03

Barrett wrote a partial dissent. But I

31:05

just want to read you what Sonia Sotomayor,

31:07

who she along with Justice Jackson, their

31:09

dissents are epic and are going to read

31:11

into history. She said, what if the

31:13

government later determines that it sent one of

31:15

these detainees to Seacot, which is the

31:17

name of that prison in error? or

31:20

a court eventually decides that the

31:22

president lacked authority under the Alien Enemies

31:24

Act to declare that Trendy Aragua

31:26

is perpetrating an attempt or attempting an

31:28

invasion against the territory of the

31:30

United States. The government takes the

31:32

position that even when it makes a

31:34

mistake, it cannot retrieve individuals from the

31:36

Salvadoran prisons to which it has sent

31:38

them. See defendants memorandum of law and

31:41

opposition. The

31:43

implication of the government's position

31:45

is that not only non

31:47

-citizens, but also United States

31:49

citizens could be taken off

31:51

the streets, forced onto planes,

31:53

and confined in foreign prisons

31:55

with no opportunity for redress

31:57

if judicial review is denied

32:00

unlawfully before removal. History is

32:02

no stranger to such lawless

32:04

regimes that this nation's systems

32:06

of laws is designed to

32:08

prevent, not encourage. their

32:10

rise. What basically she's saying

32:12

is If you let the

32:14

administration do this based on tattoos in

32:16

one case the guy's tattoo was of

32:18

his favorite soccer team But if your

32:20

tattoo has a crown on it, they're

32:22

saying the crown is the symbol of

32:25

Tren de Aragua So if you have

32:27

any kind of a crown tattooed on

32:29

your body, they say you're in that

32:31

gang So it's the color of your

32:33

skin and your tattoos. There's a soccer

32:35

coach who had his favorite soccer team

32:37

with it has a crown Real Madrid

32:39

if you're a crown on top of

32:41

a soccer ball, right? But they said

32:43

that means you're Tren de Aragua They're

32:45

basically saying, if you're Venezuelan, you're in

32:48

that gang. And they're also doing it

32:50

to Cubans. They're doing it to Haitians.

32:52

They're doing it to people from India.

32:54

They have a Turkish woman. They disappeared

32:56

off the street. God only knows where

32:58

she is. And in many cases, they're

33:00

sending them to a prison in Louisiana,

33:02

because Louisiana is like Santa Marta. And

33:04

Guantanamo Bay. And to Gitmo. And they're

33:06

literally disappearing people like they are an

33:09

old regime from Central America in the

33:11

But here's my issue. I love that

33:13

you read what, you know, Sonia Sotomayor

33:15

said, and I know Justice Jackson, our

33:17

sororore, you know, said something, you know,

33:19

very upset about this. But the thing

33:21

is, those words will be in the

33:23

history books, right? That they voted against

33:25

this. But it doesn't change the situation.

33:27

And that's what's frustrating to me. I'm

33:29

glad that they wrote that. I'm glad

33:32

that they're saying that. But

33:34

Jesus Christ, what are we doing about it?

33:36

Can I just say? People

33:39

say that the dissents only

33:41

our words. No, if you look

33:43

at the dissents in Plessy

33:45

versus Ferguson, it was the dissents

33:47

in Plessy that were the

33:49

basis of Brown versus the Board

33:51

of Education. But who's doing

33:53

who? You know, because these people,

33:55

we don't even know if they're like,

33:57

like there's, they could be dead to

33:59

this, right? They could be dead. I

34:01

get that, right? I'm not saying that

34:03

those words aren't important, but I'm saying there's

34:06

such an urgency now. to what's happening.

34:08

And I'm just like, who's doing something

34:10

about it? The ACLU is in the

34:12

middle of this fight. And so the one

34:14

piece where the ACLU is saying that

34:16

they did get something out of it

34:18

is that the ruling, the 5 -4 ruling

34:20

said that each of these people who's

34:22

deported is entitled to due process. And

34:24

so they have to at least get a

34:26

hearing before and get notified that they're

34:29

going to be deported. But here's the

34:31

problem. Right, but here's the

34:33

problem. They're already gone. And so this is what

34:35

I'm saying. I heard one lawyer

34:37

say in that 60 minutes piece

34:39

when the reporter asked, so what about

34:41

family and friends? He's

34:43

like, they may never see them again. may

34:45

never see them again. Girl, that's just. And

34:47

they're all pervading. Right. And

34:49

that they're the American judge who said, you

34:51

have to literally bring these people back. The

34:54

Supreme Court has said, no, you don't. So

34:56

these people who have already been deported,

34:59

they're now saying for future potential deportees, they

35:01

have to get a hearing. But the

35:03

hairdresser, the guy who was the soccer fan,

35:05

the coach, the guy from Maryland who

35:07

they admit was wrongly detained, they're already in

35:09

that prison and there's no law. This

35:11

is what y 'all have to realize. And

35:13

this is why it's really important that this

35:16

is shit you need to know. Right

35:18

now, the US has no law. There is

35:20

no federal government. It doesn't exist. There's

35:22

no FBI. There's no Department

35:24

of Justice. There's no law. The

35:26

Supreme Court won't help you. We, as

35:28

Black people, have always relied on

35:30

the federal government as the last stop,

35:32

the backstop for our rights. It

35:34

is gone. It's not existent. I mean,

35:36

and they have made a difference

35:38

over the years in us moving forward.

35:40

They could do a lot more, but

35:43

up till now. And now it's

35:45

done. But my fear is, like a

35:47

friend of mine was talking about

35:49

traveling internationally. And, you

35:51

know, when you're coming back and going

35:53

through customs, coming back into the US,

35:55

they're checking your phones. Yeah. You

35:58

know what I mean? They're double

36:00

checking your paperwork. You could be

36:02

disappeared from just coming back into

36:04

the country. Who's gonna, right?

36:06

Who's gonna stop them? And now that

36:08

they've said, and by the way, the woman,

36:10

Catherine, what is her? Levitt, Catherine Levitt,

36:12

whatever her name is, the spokeswoman, she admitted

36:14

from the podium that Karine Jean -Pierre used

36:16

to stand behind. That lady stood in

36:19

that same podium. She ain't, she ain't no

36:21

Karine Jean -Pierre. Let's just be clear. She

36:23

admitted. that Donald Trump is studying

36:25

ways to use this same power

36:27

against American citizens. That's what I

36:29

said. He's he he's saying people

36:32

who are hardened criminals and they

36:34

don't mean that defenders. Yeah, that

36:36

supposed to be that was supposed

36:38

to be the guidelines for, you

36:40

know, non Americans that were waiting

36:42

for, you know, that's who he

36:44

was deporting the criminals. And now

36:46

you've got all these. You

36:49

know crying because it was like

36:51

I didn't think that he was gonna

36:53

come for us You know my

36:55

sister my brother my you know even

36:57

children are being deported and they're

36:59

not criminals But they're being allowed to

37:01

get away with everything everything and

37:03

so by the way stop them from

37:05

stopping one of us right and

37:07

saying a criminal and also taking you

37:09

in a back room putting you

37:11

on a plane and you end up

37:13

in El Salvador And I think

37:15

it must be said he's a criminal

37:21

Trump is literally a felon, calling

37:23

other people criminals. So what does criminal

37:25

mean? He's a criminal. He was

37:27

adjudicated to be a criminal. He

37:29

is a felon. So he's a criminal. So

37:31

he's a felon, but he's saying I get

37:33

to decide who's a criminal and then I

37:35

get to decide based on just what I

37:37

want. And he now has a justice department

37:39

under Pam Bondi that is not going to

37:41

abide the law. She's going to do whatever

37:43

he wants. If Donald Trump tomorrow says your

37:46

uncle is a criminal based on nothing other

37:48

than he don't like your uncle. If he

37:50

decides George Clooney is a criminal or somebody

37:52

says I'm not a criminal, whoever he thinks

37:54

that he don't like, you're a criminal. And

37:56

who's going to say you're not a criminal?

37:58

Because all they have to do is say,

38:00

you're a criminal. And then they designate you

38:02

a criminal. And then they say, well, you're

38:04

going to turn the hour I go because

38:06

we said so. Trump himself is

38:08

a felon. Who is deciding? When

38:10

you put the guy at the very

38:13

top of the system is a

38:15

felon. who was adjudicated as such and

38:17

was adjudicated civilly. He doesn't see

38:19

himself as a felon. He doesn't see

38:21

himself as that and it doesn't

38:23

matter. It doesn't matter. President of the

38:26

United States. He pretty much has

38:28

immunity for whatever he does. Not pretty

38:30

much. Total immunity. Not

38:32

pretty much ma 'am. Total immunity. John

38:35

Roberts also said he has

38:37

complete He could commit a

38:39

crime today. He could literally

38:41

commit a crime right now, a

38:43

horrible crime. And according to Justice

38:45

Roberts, as long as he's

38:47

president or former president, he cannot

38:49

be prosecuted, y 'all. But let

38:51

me ask you this. Let me

38:53

ask you this. Why,

38:56

at what point? Because this is what I think

38:58

it's going to take to turn things around. It's

39:00

just, you know, me and my theories. I

39:02

think. that this is

39:04

going to take action from

39:06

the UN. I

39:09

don't know if the Hague, I don't

39:11

know if the Hague only deals with

39:13

times of war. I don't know. Like

39:15

I think internationally, people are going to

39:17

have to step in to try to

39:19

correct this because I don't think that

39:21

there's anything that can be done in

39:23

this country based on how the Democratic

39:26

Party is moving, how a lot of

39:28

people in the Republican Party that aren't

39:30

MAGA are staying quiet. Hello, George W.

39:32

Bush. You know what I

39:34

mean? It's like, you know, Mitt

39:36

Romney finally said something after the election.

39:39

It's like, and the Dems to me

39:41

still are trying to figure out

39:43

a plan and how to respond. And

39:45

they just, you know, aside from

39:47

Senator Cory Booker, my fellow vegan who

39:50

we love. I

39:52

applaud what he did, but my

39:54

thing, and I wrote about this in

39:56

my newsletter, I love what he

39:58

did. Okay, but now what? Now what?

40:00

What are we doing? Like, who's

40:02

ringing the alarm? This

40:04

stuff is horrific. I

40:07

mean, it's, and girl,

40:09

like, who's doing something? Well,

40:11

here's the problem. The

40:13

Hague. tried this with Bibi

40:15

Netanyahu, who is now

40:17

a war criminal. According to

40:19

international law, he's been

40:21

adjudicated. South Africa brought him

40:23

to the Hague, and

40:25

they went through an entire trial

40:28

in which lawyers from Ireland and

40:30

South Africa and others went through

40:32

what they have said is apartheid

40:34

in the occupied territories in the

40:36

West Bank and Gaza, and what

40:38

they have called war crimes in

40:40

Gaza. And and they said yes,

40:43

that's true. He really is a

40:45

war criminal And you know what's

40:47

happened to him as a result

40:49

of that nothing nothing international law

40:51

is is all theoretical you can

40:53

So there are places BB Netanyahu

40:55

can't travel Because of the adjudication

40:58

of the of the international courts

41:00

of that what he and his

41:02

far -right wing religious zealot, you

41:04

know Cabal there have done to

41:06

Palestinians So there are

41:08

places he can't go but you know where

41:10

he can go the United States because Donald

41:12

Trump is his friend So what's happening is

41:14

all the autocrats are friends all the autocrats

41:16

are collecting together with the exception of Xi

41:19

Jinping who they all want to fight because

41:21

Let's just be clear china is about to

41:23

lead the world like china is gonna be

41:25

it's gonna be the china We had the

41:27

american century in the 20th century the 21st

41:29

century might be the chinese century because they

41:31

are on the up They are rising while

41:33

we are falling and i agree with you

41:35

that the in this case i think We're

41:37

gonna have to start to apply the same

41:39

principles to the united states that were once

41:41

applied to south africa Yeah, the only thing

41:43

that stopped South uh, you know elan must

41:46

home country and peter teal's home country and

41:48

david sacks home country The you know what

41:50

they call the paypal mafia. They came from

41:52

south africa white south africa Yeah, and the

41:54

only thing that put a stop to the

41:56

fascism in white south africa that was oppressing

41:58

You know 80 of the population being native

42:00

africans The only thing that stopped that oppression

42:02

and didn't even completely stop because they still

42:04

own almost no land in their own country the

42:07

only thing that stopped them

42:09

from being abused, beaten, arrested,

42:11

and harmed was an international

42:13

boycott, you know? And so

42:15

I think - So that's what I

42:17

think that it is, it's going

42:19

to, I mean, we're so quick as

42:21

a country to jump into everybody

42:23

else's business, right? And try,

42:26

you know, and we should

42:28

not in most of those

42:30

situations. But I do

42:32

think - there does need to be

42:34

beyond this whole tariffs, you know,

42:36

back and forth that's happening and okay,

42:38

we're going to take your products

42:40

off the shelves. I think it needs

42:42

to be bigger than that. You

42:44

know what I mean? But I don't

42:46

know if there's enough out. I

42:48

don't think that people see Americans as

42:50

suffering. You know what I mean?

42:53

They don't like, you know, you see

42:55

black people and we're at the

42:57

Grammys and we're some billionaires and you

42:59

know what I mean? So What's

43:01

whereas in South Africa, you know,

43:03

that wasn't the case. It was all

43:05

black people that were being oppressed

43:07

It was very clear but for us,

43:09

you know, how can we cry?

43:11

This is you know, we need help

43:14

When most of us look like

43:16

we're not suffering, but it's I don't

43:18

know I don't know what the

43:20

answer is because I think the problem

43:22

with the way the world is

43:24

constructed the whole, you know, Western um

43:26

the sort of agreement that was made

43:28

after world war two for the way

43:30

the world would work it was all

43:32

kind of an honor system just like

43:34

we're finding out that most of what's

43:37

in the constitution was an honor system

43:39

it just counted on people agreeing to

43:41

go by the law and agreeing to

43:43

abide by the constitution and it didn't

43:45

account for what would happen if somebody

43:47

just said i won't do that and

43:49

i think what we found out is

43:51

that if a president just decides i'm

43:53

not going to abide by the constitution

43:55

and he has enough I will say

43:57

partisan Republicans on the Supreme Court who

43:59

are much more interested in a Republican

44:01

being president and a Republican having Republican

44:03

and conservative policies than they are in

44:06

the Constitution, then there is really nothing

44:08

that can stop this person. And I

44:10

think that's what we've, you know, here's

44:12

the thing, you know, sometimes what they

44:14

say is that the way that God

44:16

teaches you a lesson is that he

44:18

gives you your heart's desire. And enough

44:20

Americans, their true heart's desire was Trump.

44:22

They wanted Trump, and they wanted not

44:24

just Trump, but they wanted unfiltered, unfettered

44:26

Trump. They wanted Trump with nobody standing

44:28

in his way. They wanted Trump with

44:30

nobody, with no deep state telling him

44:33

no. They wanted to see what it

44:35

would be like to have Trump be

44:37

Trump and literally do whatever he really

44:39

wanted. Well, this is what it looks

44:41

like, fam. This is what you wanted.

44:43

And those who either didn't vote or

44:45

voted for this, you're getting what you

44:47

asked for. And what you didn't understand

44:49

is that Trump didn't want that for

44:51

you. He wanted that for himself and

44:53

that he has this zeal for vengeance,

44:55

for remaking America in his own image,

44:57

for having the country serve him. He

45:00

wants the whole system to serve him.

45:02

So he can get rich. He

45:04

loves the power. And the power.

45:06

I don't even see the power.

45:08

All of it. I suspect that

45:10

he's not even making a lot

45:12

of these calls. He's just sitting

45:14

and eating McDonald's and watching TV

45:16

in the Oval Office while people

45:18

are like, hey, can we deport?

45:20

We should do this. And he's

45:22

like, yeah, OK. He's like, do

45:24

it. He doesn't care. I want

45:26

to sell my Trump coins. And

45:29

I just want to be the

45:31

president. I just want to be

45:34

powerful. I do

45:36

have to say. So

45:39

there's so many great comments here,

45:41

and I do want to get to

45:43

them. Somebody said that they've been

45:46

an OG, read this, read that fan.

45:48

The comments are just pouring in.

45:50

People are like, why should people around

45:52

the world help us at all? And

45:55

Shababe, I'm saying that right,

45:57

Shababe is saying that Corey

45:59

reminded us that the power

46:01

is in the people. And

46:03

Bonita Johnson said, no one

46:05

is coming to save us

46:08

like we have saved them

46:10

in the past. Yeah, but

46:12

what I am happy about

46:14

is that finally our girl

46:16

Kamala Kamala Harris vice president

46:18

Kamala Harris your mama home

46:20

y 'all y 'all better clean

46:22

up the kitchen mama mama

46:24

home So she was speaking

46:26

before a women's organization and

46:28

she said She's not going

46:30

anywhere and she will stay

46:32

politically active. I know there

46:34

are some rumors Hasn't been

46:36

confirmed by her that she's

46:39

thinking of running for the

46:41

governor of california I guess

46:43

the presidency is is off

46:45

the table if she's thinking

46:47

about that, but whatever, you

46:49

know, I've always said that

46:51

she and barack and Biden

46:53

were all telling us how

46:55

dangerous trump was going to

46:57

be and right because they

46:59

knew and he is and

47:01

so You know, even

47:03

though you didn't win, my feeling

47:05

is, hey, we still need you.

47:07

Stacey Abrams lost the governorship of

47:09

Georgia, but it's still very active

47:11

in politics. Yes, it's up to

47:13

Kamala to do that. You know,

47:15

I got a lot of pushback in our comments about

47:17

saying that. But now, now,

47:21

she's back. She

47:24

says she's not going anywhere and she

47:26

will stay politically active. So I'm excited about

47:28

that. Not only her, Barack Obama. who

47:31

really believes in not speaking out

47:33

about presidential politics when he's not

47:35

president because he believes there should

47:37

only be one president at a

47:39

time. I mean, respectfully, we

47:41

got to move on from that. But

47:44

he's spoken, he said that it's up

47:46

to all of us to fix this.

47:48

That's what I say, it's gonna take

47:50

us all. And he was saying, can

47:52

you imagine if he did as president

47:54

in the first 100 days what Trump

47:56

is doing now? And he said he's

47:58

mostly concerned about threats

48:00

to universities. And

48:04

he said that the universities,

48:06

like Columbia University did not do,

48:08

need to really push back

48:10

this administration. So I'm glad that

48:12

those two surfaced to be

48:14

a part of this. And I

48:16

would like to see more

48:18

from them, but everybody, I think

48:20

it's going to take, listen,

48:22

I'm all for resting and recovering.

48:25

But with what's going on, we got time

48:27

for that. And also, by the way,

48:29

the cowardice of these law firms that are

48:31

capitulating, these law firms that are being

48:33

sued by Trump and then saying, okay, we'll

48:36

give you $100 billion in free legal

48:38

advice. Really? You know, you've got these universities.

48:40

Columbia, to me, is the most cowardly

48:42

of all. Saying, oh my God, you're right.

48:44

We'll take all our students, deport them

48:46

all. If they even say the word Palestine

48:48

in a happy tone of voice, take

48:50

them away. Like, they're just literally, it's like

48:52

the cowardice when you have people like

48:54

Georgetown Law School who literally said, Yeah, be

48:56

gone. The guy who's the head of

48:58

Georgetown Law School, when they got an edict

49:01

saying that if they don't change all

49:03

their DEI policies, they'll never hire another Georgetown

49:05

law person for the federal government. He

49:07

said, beyond no. He

49:09

said, this

49:12

is white dude. He said, no, he's

49:14

not going there. So it's like some people

49:16

are having like, cojones and other people

49:18

are just being weak. And here's the thing.

49:21

You even have these all these tech

49:23

bros who put all this money into

49:25

Trump gave him a million dollars each

49:27

for his inaugural All were cuddled up

49:29

in the warm inaugural little ceremony while

49:32

all the real Trumpers were out in

49:34

a cold -ass chili stadium 20 miles away

49:36

or whatever They are getting nothing from

49:38

it. They're getting hose their tank their

49:40

stock is falling apple stocks in the

49:42

shitter He's destroying them and they're just

49:44

like I don't know what to do

49:47

Yeah, you don't know what to do

49:49

all the Wall Street guys are screaming

49:51

all the podcast bros are like. Oh

49:53

my god. He's making me poor He's

49:55

making me purr. I'm like, you know

49:57

52:31

52:42

they replaced the Statue of Liberty

52:44

with a giant statue of

52:46

Donald Trump? Wasn't that wild? I

52:49

didn't see it. I wouldn't believe

52:51

it. crazy. It's crazy,

52:53

girl. then they got the hologram

52:55

of Trump in the sky. So everywhere you

52:57

go, he's still looking at you. It's like the

52:59

best thing when you go. It's like the

53:01

best thing. It's just up in the sky. Up

53:03

in the sky. Up there. And they don't

53:05

change the name of the country that Trump land

53:07

in. I don't know

53:09

why. Not America no more.

53:11

I don't know why we didn't

53:13

leave. I told you we

53:15

should have left but you know

53:18

America and went all the

53:20

way down to Mexico Listen Listen

53:22

You know if you don't

53:24

53:26

send you to El Salvador

53:29

Listen, I got a bingo class.

53:31

We got I'm gonna go

53:33

do some bingo. I'm not worried

53:35

about me Yeah,

53:40

girl, but it's just just crazy

53:42

crazy crazy. I know we don't

53:44

have a lot of time left.

53:47

Yeah, but I want to kind

53:49

of talk about We have so

53:51

many hot topics to talk about

53:53

but you have a hard out

53:55

I don't know if we want

53:57

to talk about okay. We'll let

53:59

the people decide in the comments.

54:02

Okay. Y 'all want to talk about

54:04

the Jonathan Majors Kiki Palmer and

54:06

cancel culture situation. Do you

54:08

want to talk about Erica

54:10

Badu and her outfit that she

54:12

wore to the recent award,

54:14

Billboard Women in Music Award ceremony,

54:17

coupled with Felicia Rashad in the backlash

54:19

that she's getting for saying that, you

54:21

know, men don't want their women dressed

54:23

a certain kind of way. Yeah,

54:27

I think those are the two topics

54:29

that we're going to talk about. Oh,

54:31

and Mary J. Blige and

54:33

Ron Isley and Smokey Robinson.

54:35

And the question is, you

54:38

know, is there a point

54:40

where you need to stop

54:42

performing? Because people are criticizing

54:44

Mary J. Blige. She does

54:46

look like her feet hurt.

54:49

I mean, her feet probably do hurt. And being

54:51

able to pivot. So, OK, so what do we

54:53

got? Jonathan Majors, Eric Abadou or Mary J. Blige? Pick

54:57

one. Pick one. I

54:59

see majors, majors,

55:01

majors. And people are like,

55:03

what Kiki do? So

55:06

yeah, Kiki Palmer did an

55:08

interview with him. And when

55:10

she started promoting it, people

55:12

were pushing back like crazy.

55:14

And I'm getting, we're getting a

55:17

lot of Jonathan majors. So

55:19

we'll go with that one. People

55:21

say, Mary. Um, people say,

55:23

Mary, all right, Mary, Mary. I think she

55:25

needs to pivot a little bit and do

55:27

a little more. I think you

55:29

can, you know what? It's okay to wear

55:31

flats, Mary. Wear some sneakers. Girl,

55:33

be unplugged. Change it up. You ain't

55:35

got to do what you always did.

55:37

You know, I interviewed this guy years

55:39

ago about Whitney Houston back when she

55:42

was touring and her vocals were really

55:44

bad. And she's doing all these big.

55:46

That was a drug. She was a

55:48

vocal coach at a university. And I

55:50

love, I cried when she died. Oh,

55:52

I cried in her. But what he

55:54

said was that she needed to pivot.

55:56

He said she could have done smaller.

55:58

Stop it. She could have done smaller.

56:00

venues and she could have done a

56:03

more jazz version of a lot of

56:05

her songs instead of trying to hit

56:07

all the same notes and everything. She

56:09

could have just reimagined a lot of

56:11

the songs and just, you know, so

56:13

I think that, you know, based on

56:15

what I'm seeing from Mary J and

56:17

Ron Isley, like you need to pivot, you

56:20

know what mean? Even

56:22

at her worst, Whitney Houston

56:24

was the greatest, to me, the greatest

56:26

vocalist of her generation. Like she was so

56:29

genius and brilliant even when her

56:31

voice was cracking at worst. If

56:34

you ranked the greatest singers of

56:36

no, no, she definitely I agree

56:38

with that. But when she was

56:40

out there in these concerts doing

56:42

these that was because she was

56:44

having them life issues that I

56:46

mentioned before, which I'm not gonna

56:48

say again. Well, no, no, but

56:51

here's the thing, right? El Debar,

56:53

she has admitted. to drug use

56:55

over the years. Nothing happened to

56:57

his vocals. Charlie Wilson, right?

56:59

Who was abused drugs and

57:01

talks about it. Vocal strong

57:03

as ever. I don't know why this

57:06

happened to her. You know what

57:08

I mean? She was abusing her

57:10

body, but let's get to Jonathan Majors.

57:12

People don't ask for Jonathan Majors.

57:14

So Jonathan Majors was on a comeback.

57:16

He had a new movie coming

57:18

out and, you know, he had I

57:20

think laid low, you know, he

57:22

was with Megan Good or is still

57:24

with her and they've got married. Yeah,

57:27

they're married now. They's married now. So,

57:29

you know, they're together and that relationship, which

57:31

a lot of people suspect it was

57:33

a PR stunt. There was never any proof

57:36

of that. But now their husband and

57:38

wife. And just as

57:40

he was doing press

57:42

for this new movie, Rolling

57:44

Stone dropped an audio

57:46

recording of a conversation between

57:48

Jonathan Majors and his

57:50

ex, that white lady that

57:52

ended up taking him to court.

57:55

And they had a settlement

57:57

with that civil suit, but

57:59

he was found guilty of

58:01

assaulting her. you

58:04

know, he had like probation and had

58:06

to take some classes on abuse and

58:08

things like that, but on domestic abuse.

58:10

So now Rolling Stone comes out

58:13

with his audio and in the

58:15

audio, you can hear him saying

58:17

that he's having a conversation with

58:19

her saying that he did strangle

58:21

her. You know what

58:23

I mean? And he was like, you

58:25

know, I've never been, I aggressed you. Is

58:28

that a word? It might be, but

58:30

I was like, who talks like that?

58:32

Yes, I aggressed you. So

58:34

it was pretty bad because

58:36

he's admitting to this. And

58:38

I don't know the situation

58:41

with that recording. I don't

58:43

know if he knew he

58:45

was being recorded. I

58:49

don't know. But I just feel,

58:51

and people are asking whether or not

58:53

he should be canceled. So Kiki

58:55

Palmer, P .P. Kiki Palmer had him

58:57

on her or recorded an interview and

58:59

was going to have him as

59:01

a guest on her podcast. But there

59:03

was so much outcry from the

59:05

public that they didn't want to see

59:07

that from her, that we're

59:09

hearing. I haven't heard her

59:12

say anything, but I'm hearing reports

59:14

that she has now scrapped

59:16

the interview. And so

59:18

people look like there's this question about, should he

59:20

be canceled? And you all let us know

59:22

in the comments what you think. But

59:24

what do you think? Would you

59:26

have canceled the interview if you were Kiki

59:28

Palmer? It depends on what the interview

59:30

was like I mean to me the fact

59:32

that there's a whole new story in

59:34

Rolling Stone about it if she and I

59:36

you know I don't I've never heard

59:38

it I don't know and I don't know

59:40

how Journalistically she went at it if

59:42

she did a fan interview where it was

59:44

just about hey your new movie is

59:46

great Maybe I'd scrap it, but if she

59:48

actually asked him about it You know,

59:50

if she actually asked him about, you know,

59:52

if she did the journalistic duty of

59:54

asking him the questions that need to be

59:56

asked about that incident, I would actually

59:58

not scrap the interview. That's journalism. You, you,

1:00:00

I mean, our Kelly was interviewed in

1:00:02

the midst of all the horrible things that

1:00:04

he was doing. Gayle King, Robert, Robert,

1:00:07

Robert interviewed him. I remember that.

1:00:09

But that was an excellent and important

1:00:11

interview. You know, our friend

1:00:13

Toure has interviewed our Kelly and asked

1:00:15

him directly about whether he was peeing

1:00:17

on a 14 year old girl. Like,

1:00:19

I mean, do you like young girls?

1:00:21

As journalists, we end up interviewing people

1:00:23

who are unpopular and who've done things

1:00:25

that are unpopular. And you don't stuff

1:00:27

those interviews simply because the people are

1:00:29

angry about that person's existence. You do

1:00:32

the interview. You know, I tried to

1:00:34

get an interview with Bill Cosby in

1:00:36

the midst of all of the allegations

1:00:38

against him. He just wouldn't do it.

1:00:40

But I was 100 % ready to

1:00:42

do that interview at the Grio back

1:00:44

when I was at the Grio. And

1:00:46

I would have 1000 % not deleted that

1:00:48

interview. I don't care what people say,

1:00:50

because that would have been journalism. So

1:00:52

no, I think if she asked him

1:00:54

the questions that need to be asked,

1:00:56

I would not have scrapped it. If

1:00:58

she didn't and the interview was just

1:01:00

a kiki, then yeah, I would probably

1:01:02

delete it. So so Danielle still learning

1:01:04

says what Joanne said BP 1787 said

1:01:06

he deserves a second chance What happened

1:01:08

to giving people grace? Based

1:01:11

on the preview it was

1:01:13

more of platforming Jonathan than

1:01:15

doing an interview is what Browder

1:01:17

is saying. And I think that was

1:01:20

the pushback. Um, somebody's saying

1:01:22

the problem was the domestic violence in her past.

1:01:24

I didn't know she had, um, right. And

1:01:26

it seems to me that like, and can we

1:01:28

just talk a little bit because the, and

1:01:30

it's, it's similar to the Chris Brown thing. People

1:01:32

ask this question about whether Chris Brown should

1:01:34

be permanently canceled, whether his career has been stunted.

1:01:36

He's still very popular. He sells a lot

1:01:38

of records, but he's still, when you say, well,

1:01:40

Chris Brown's going to be bubble, blah, people

1:01:42

get upset about it. But the reality is with

1:01:44

Jonathan Majors, There's more to the

1:01:46

story than him just being an aggressive black

1:01:48

man and hurting this white woman There was

1:01:50

a mutual issue of some mutuality to that

1:01:52

conflict and so I think on the video

1:01:54

that we saw video showed that they were

1:01:57

both aggressive with each other and I would

1:01:59

worry about in especially this country in America

1:02:01

in the country where we're deleting black history

1:02:03

in America where we're deleting our history is

1:02:05

that a lot of the time what you

1:02:07

would have is white women accusing black men

1:02:09

of violence or rape or someone accusing a

1:02:11

black and then getting lynched We live in

1:02:13

an Emmett Till country, you know, where people

1:02:16

shoot up the Emmett Till grave marker still

1:02:18

still put bullets in it because they're mad

1:02:20

that the boy was lynched because a white

1:02:22

woman lied about him. You know what I

1:02:24

mean? And people are still mad at his

1:02:26

dead ghost instead of at her and the

1:02:28

people who lynched him and the men who

1:02:30

lynched him. We live in a country

1:02:32

where race is a problem and and this

1:02:35

was a interracial relationship that seemed like they

1:02:37

were both super volatile with each other. And

1:02:39

I don't think it's fair to say He's

1:02:41

the only that it seemed like the two

1:02:43

of them had problems because you saw the

1:02:45

video of her chasing him down the street

1:02:47

I saw that and I was like So

1:02:49

I don't know what happened. I wasn't there.

1:02:51

I don't know either of these two people

1:02:53

I don't know either of them I have

1:02:55

no knowledge in the situation other than that

1:02:57

what from what I've seen and heard they

1:02:59

had a toxic relationship and to make him

1:03:01

The sole villain and to say that she

1:03:03

was completely not a part of the you

1:03:05

know, I don't know which we want to

1:03:07

believe women and you know, that's the the

1:03:09

attack is that we just believe women but

1:03:11

you know I don't think in all cases,

1:03:14

I think that's a dangerous thing. I don't think, listen,

1:03:16

I do think that, you know,

1:03:19

there's sexual assault abuse that happens

1:03:21

and it should be investigated, but

1:03:23

there are people who lie. There

1:03:25

are men who lie and there

1:03:28

are women who lie. And so

1:03:30

you just don't know until there

1:03:32

is an investigation into what happened.

1:03:34

I think what's unfortunate about Jonathan

1:03:36

majors and I really, I really

1:03:38

Enjoy his work. I mean lovecraft

1:03:40

country. Give me a break Like

1:03:42

the last man in San Francisco

1:03:44

like I love love love his

1:03:46

work Yeah, but it's unfortunate when

1:03:48

we move in a way when

1:03:50

we as black people get a

1:03:52

certain amount of Money and fame

1:03:54

and influence that we think that

1:03:56

we can move Like white people

1:03:58

move that we think that we

1:04:00

can do what they do It'll

1:04:03

never be that case in this

1:04:06

country. And we have to remember that.

1:04:08

I think a lot of us

1:04:10

just feel like we can just do

1:04:12

what we want to because we

1:04:14

have money and influence. And a lot

1:04:16

of times we do it in

1:04:18

front of or with white people. And

1:04:21

in this situation, he did it

1:04:23

with a white woman who was recording

1:04:25

him. That conversation was from years

1:04:27

ago because she stayed with him after

1:04:29

that conversation. We

1:04:31

don't know what that situation

1:04:33

was, you know, that

1:04:35

where they were having a conversation about,

1:04:37

was it actually him? Some people are

1:04:40

asking, was it AI? Was it really

1:04:42

his voice? And,

1:04:44

you know, we don't know all

1:04:46

the details. What I would love to

1:04:48

see is for Jonathan Majors, if

1:04:50

he wants his career back. I think

1:04:53

he has to Olivia Pope this.

1:04:55

I think it has to get

1:04:57

crisis person and he has to do

1:04:59

a sit -down interview and he has

1:05:01

to talk about it. You know

1:05:03

what I mean? I think I you

1:05:05

know, I think that he has

1:05:07

to do that work if he

1:05:10

wants to have a career and he

1:05:12

has to address what was what

1:05:14

was the situation because I do agree

1:05:16

it is never I mean, I

1:05:18

don't The fact that he on

1:05:20

this recording, if it's him is saying

1:05:22

agreeing that he strangled this woman.

1:05:25

Yeah, you gotta address that. It's a

1:05:27

bad look, right? Yeah, it's a

1:05:29

bad thing. It's a horrific thing. And

1:05:31

for him to come back from

1:05:33

that, I think he has to

1:05:35

do the work. But people need to

1:05:37

remember, you know, you get

1:05:40

this money, look at Puffy, you out here

1:05:42

having these parties, you out here

1:05:44

doing all, you know, all

1:05:46

kinds of I

1:05:54

mean, you know, I think people

1:05:56

feel like they're invincible once they reach

1:05:58

a certain level of fame, particularly

1:06:00

if it's like white famous, but not

1:06:02

even that. If people are, you

1:06:04

know, black people are very famous, they

1:06:06

start to move in a certain

1:06:08

way. And I'm like, you've got to

1:06:10

be careful how you move and

1:06:13

who you move with. And by the

1:06:15

way, Bill Cosby for 40 years

1:06:17

allegedly doing this with mainly white women,

1:06:19

drugging them allegedly and went to

1:06:21

jail for and then got let out

1:06:23

based on, I guess, some sort

1:06:25

of technicality. You've got R. Kelly. You've

1:06:27

got Mike Tyson with the issues he had

1:06:29

back in the day. You've got obviously the Chris

1:06:31

Browns. These are not all the same. I'm

1:06:33

not trying to lump them all together. Diddy, now

1:06:36

you've got this with Jonathan Majors

1:06:38

and Will Smith, the slap her around

1:06:40

the world. these brothers have

1:06:42

to realize that being famous,

1:06:44

and like you said, being

1:06:46

white famous in America, you

1:06:49

can be as famous as you want and as rich as you want. You're still black. And

1:06:52

you're still, and you're much more likely

1:06:54

to go to, to, to, to be, black people

1:06:57

are more likely to be prosecuted just for

1:06:59

having weed. than white people who also have feet.

1:07:01

If both a white man and a black

1:07:03

man both are found in possession of drugs, the

1:07:05

black man is more likely to go to

1:07:07

jail for it. That can white people commit crimes

1:07:09

at the same rates. Everyone's equal. There's no,

1:07:11

you know, race is a construct, but you're just

1:07:13

more in the spotlight. And so I think,

1:07:15

like you said, people need to be a lot

1:07:17

more judicious about the things they're doing, especially

1:07:20

if you're a public -facing person. You don't have

1:07:22

the right to just go ahead and do whatever

1:07:24

you want to people. And I

1:07:26

don't think men in general need to think of, you don't have the right

1:07:28

to just do whatever you want. You're going to

1:07:30

pay for it. And especially you, a brother, you're going

1:07:32

to pay for it. It may be now or

1:07:34

maybe later. So you need to think twice before you

1:07:36

do some crazy shit because you're going to pay

1:07:38

for it. Because the

1:07:40

cancellation is underway. I don't know

1:07:42

how he recovers from this. And so

1:07:44

I think if he wants his

1:07:46

career back on track, I think he

1:07:48

has to do an interview. And

1:07:50

a lot of D Jones is saying

1:07:52

maybe Gail King can interview him.

1:07:54

Juliet Edwards says, Jackie, let Joy talk.

1:07:56

You keep cutting her off. Juliet,

1:07:58

let me address this. We

1:08:01

are friends. We cut

1:08:03

each other off. It's how we do.

1:08:05

And if you don't like it, maybe it's

1:08:07

what we do. is what we do.

1:08:09

We cut each other off. We've been friends

1:08:11

for a long time. So please

1:08:13

don't come in here with that mess. Don't

1:08:16

come in here with that mess. You can get the hell

1:08:18

out. People

1:08:20

are moving forward and our backwards says

1:08:22

he should be given a second chance.

1:08:24

So my LLM says OJ Simpson. I

1:08:26

forgot to mention OJ. OJ

1:08:29

said, I could do

1:08:31

what I want to do. No, you can't do it.

1:08:33

Girl, you cannot.

1:08:35

You cannot. By

1:08:38

the way, this is my reminder of

1:08:40

telling everyone. I don't care what

1:08:42

anyone says. If I was on that

1:08:44

jury, OJ was getting acquitted by me. And

1:08:46

I watched every day of that trial. And

1:08:48

I'm not saying whether he did or not.

1:08:50

I'm just saying that his. That was Johnny

1:08:52

Cochran might be the greatest lawyer in American

1:08:54

history and they legit beat that prosecution.

1:08:56

That prosecution was wack. Girl, they

1:08:59

didn't see it coming. God

1:09:01

rest his soul. They lost that

1:09:03

kid. Shit, okay. Yeah, yeah. And

1:09:05

then OJ was still out there doing crazy

1:09:07

stuff. And then he still went out to make

1:09:09

it. He just out

1:09:11

there, rolling like. I'm just

1:09:14

kidding. You got the glide

1:09:16

of the history. This was the greatest

1:09:18

glide in the history of blinds. And you

1:09:20

come out there and still while it,

1:09:22

dude, you got away with the, the crime

1:09:24

that would have put you under the

1:09:26

jail. I mean, I don't know what he

1:09:28

was thinking. Okay. Now you have a

1:09:30

hard out. Yeah. I don't want, you have

1:09:32

a meeting at noon. I do. And

1:09:34

I was told you have a hard out.

1:09:36

And I know you love the talk,

1:09:38

talk, talk, talk, talk. I do too. but

1:09:40

we got to wrap it up because

1:09:42

1:10:26

Girl, I got, I'm trying to, I gotta

1:10:28

put it all in your place. This

1:10:30

is my issue with having so many platforms.

1:10:33

keeping them all up. It's a lot of work.

1:10:35

It is a lot of work. It is. But

1:10:37

with the website, they're really just kind of like

1:10:39

landing pages that just take you certain. So I'm

1:10:41

not having an update. It's not like a magazine. That's

1:10:44

what I'm doing over with Substack. And

1:10:46

that's why I love it so much.

1:10:48

Yes. Yeah. It's

1:10:50

a lot of weight. We work

1:10:52

hard. And then 150 years

1:11:12

can afford afford our arthritis medication.

1:11:15

Gotta afford to being gay. You know

1:11:18

the being gay species. Keep

1:11:20

our dentures. Keep our dentures

1:11:22
