  Speaker 4: for that young boy. The young boy is so smooth
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: and when we were taping the movie, he had never

• 2:37
  Speaker 3: Just know that.
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: So when he was so unfamiliar with somebody liked me.
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: So we had to hold hands and get really intimate
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: with each other. So I set him down before we
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: started filming because I'm a new I'm really new at acting,
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: and I was like.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: I just wanted him to be comfortable. So I said,
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: let me let me talk to you.
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: So I took his hand, holding your hands, and I
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: was like, listen, I'm let me he real, relax. I'm
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: a dad who's working of his children, like you working
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: take care of your kids.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: When I said that.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: Him because he had to have his face in my breasts.
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: And yes, good movie, good premises, and sometimes good actors
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: and I just wanted to disarm him. So when we
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: got ready to shoot the same he was so comfortable,
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: and so Jenny's like, damn flame, what you do to
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: myself on the stag? I said, no, I just needed
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: him to know that we're just working. Yeah the first time, Yes,

  Speaker 4: were you always trying to stop.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: His girlfriend there with a beautiful new baby?

  Speaker 1: Partner flame.

  Speaker 5: There was the other movie that you were talking about
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: that you did that.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: Day, but the shot the children was called We Got Ours.
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: That's We had a bunch of wards for that, a
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: bunch of you know, Black Independent Awards and everything. It
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: was a really good time, So I had to change
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: my trajectory for who I was.
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: It's the comedy. The comedy world.
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: Is so oversaturating, like ridiculously, everybody who fail at something
• 4:12

  Speaker 4: the goddamn joke. Ain't no joke, everybody mama trippings.
• 4:24
  Speaker 6: Why do people think that stand up is so easy?
• 4:26
  Speaker 6: To me, that's the hardest thing to do on stage,
• 4:28
  Speaker 6: to go up there by yourself and try to make
• 4:30
  Speaker 6: a room full of people laugh on purpose.
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: It is a very it is It is a very
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: skilled profession and people who are dedicated to take the
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: time to learn it. But I don't think that you
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: can learn it on the internet. This is get no
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: internet comics. The hole in the wall clubs when it's
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: thirty people and they will boo you right in your face, boom.
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: Those are the clubs that get you ready for the arrangement.
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: Those are the ones that get you set up like
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: I could do anything. Let's do this shit. First of all,
• 4:53

  Speaker 4: I did a movie years and years ago, maybe fifteen

  Speaker 4: It was such a great movie, and she was so

  Speaker 3: If you young sisters took a lesson out of Danna
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: Ross's playbook.
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: You all will be monsters. Dona Ross is the smartest
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: black woman on the planet. Let me tell you why.
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: Because she didn't sleep with the supervisor, or she didn't
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: sleep with the manager. She had a baby with the

  Speaker 4: own other company. Yes it is Ronda Ross is very
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: Grody's daughter. Then she married the Jewish man Weinstein Goldberger
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: old scene. They had him raised the black kid, had
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: two month for him. When that didn't work, she went
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: on and married the billionaire who had no sons, who
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: was Norwegian, and you know the Norwegian faith, sons of
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: the legacy, not daughters. She gave him two sons, not one.
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: When she went in for her six weeks check up
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: after having the first one, she was pregnant with the
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: second one, just in case that first one wasn't right.
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: I said, that's smartest, that's some smartest shit right there.
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: Oh, because I love Ross is the ultimate everything to me,
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: y'all going crazy and with bad Bunny super Bowl last week,
• 8:34

  Speaker 4: oh my riot is here, take me high and jumped
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: on the helicopter and it took her all the way home.
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: She had a check and everything already with Oh my god.
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: That was the most gapes and she had never say
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: you ain't see the Super Bowl down, you.
• 8:50
  Speaker 5: Didn't like somebody, You didn't like the bad Bunny performance.
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: I just I didn't like it.
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: I said, they keep overlooking Donna Ross's performance, who was
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: the first to actually do it alone and such an
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: amazing job, because they look at it. And I love Beyonce,
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: I loved Marsh I love Michael Jackson, of course, and
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: there's so many others. Hell, look, Kendrick Lamar had me
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: up last week talking about last year.
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: They're not like us.
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: I said, we ain't like them, and that's why I
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: want Chris Brown to do it next year. Chris Brown, Live,
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: Chris Brown.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: You haven't I have.
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: Chris Brown got so much energy backflip, front, flip, side flip.
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: I just wanted to run on stage and throw my
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: panties at him because I ain't throwing yours.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: That's crazy.
• 9:34
  Speaker 6: I don't remember that Danna Ross super Board and that

  Speaker 6: was the last super Bowl the Cowboys played in.
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: Really it was so phenomen I remember that one and

  Speaker 4: a lot of black folks did not understand what Kendrick
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: the message at Kindley, Kendrick Lamar was pushing.
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: So you push your culture.
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: What I'm saying is that what we keep it overshadowed
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: the goddamn game. We didn't even want you focused on
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: the game. We were talking about. Was the bad Bunny performance. No,
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: that's not good because it's all about the NFL. It's
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: about the football. I still want to be entertained. I'm
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: not saying that Bad Bunny's performance wasn't good. But Chris Rock,
• 10:35

  Speaker 4: I always inbox you until you this ain't not a fight.
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: I had to have a come to Jesus moment with
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: myself about my own community to realize this ain't my fight.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: What community?
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: With the comedy community, you know, with the gans.
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: I already fought my generations, generations before me and maybe
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: one or two as we fought and we won we
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: got marriage equality. We could change our name, we could
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: change our sex, we could work as women, We had health,
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: We had all of these luxuries handed work. We worked
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: to get them marched and protested, and we handed it
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: to this younger generation and they spit in our face
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: because they couldn't go to a woman's bath I've been
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: using a woman bathroom for forty years in draggle out.
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: I didn't make an announcement about it. I didn't making
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: a parade. I just went to pee, washed my hands
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: and came to hell up out. But they did all that.
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: I ain't even trains no more. I don't even identify
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: as trends.
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: You know what I am.
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: I am a heed that identifies as a she. When
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: I forget, I go pee to remind myself that I
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: have a we we. You see, I ain't got no
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: identity because I ain't got time for this bullshit. It's
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: so beyond repair at this point. And they went after me,
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: charloanecause you caught me problematic on here six years ago.
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: And you know they held on to that. They called
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: you problematic, you damn show did uh?
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: And my problematic called.
• 16:31
  Speaker 8: Him problematic was the context because you definitely can't.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: I might have said that they deem you problematic.
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: Ain't what you said?
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: You only pull up with the one point six million
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: views that you got me help. You said I was problematic,
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: and that's what they took and ran with.
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: I'm not. Everything I said on that was absolutely true.
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: If we had created a lane for sports, it wouldn't
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: even be on the Supreme Court desk right now. Whether
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: the trans athletes can compete or not. The argument is
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: it's not enough of them. Of course it's not. Why
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: would I come out to put myself in an arena
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: where everybody is.
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: Hoopla, han, it's too much hoopla?
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: I bet you it was a way more athletes that
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: would come out if they felt welcome in a space
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: that was created for them.
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: That's all I was saying.
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: They just don't like the way I speak because I'm
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: from Chicago and I have an aggressive tone. I got
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: an even more aggressive purse catch that from Baltimore.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: I mean it all. I always thought you made sense
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: when you said you emulate.
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: Well, because I'm very comfortable with who I am, and
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: my purpose on life is to disarm people.
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: You know what, my how my advocacy works on stage.
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: I changed minds one stage at a time because I
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: did twenty seven cities where Tiffany had it shut out
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: to Tiffany had it. We lost a baby, Sleeper the
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: other day, her third baby. We love our damn dogs,
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: and Sleeping went on every date or that tour with us.
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: Tiffany took their dog everywhere we went. We did twenty
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: four rid states. I'm talking about maga hats and the audience,
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: white folks with their arms folded.
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: I came out.
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: They was like this at first fifteen minutes, saying I
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: had those people eating on my hand. They would come
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: to my table purchase so many fans buy T shirts
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: and tell me their life stories. I got a trance
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: kid I didn't know what to do with.
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: I have to watching you.
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: I'm so inspired that my kid is gonna be okay
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: because I don't have an agenda. My agenda is I
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: just want you to be happy. You be whatever you
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: want to be. I think you should be a certain age.
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: None of that will ever change for me. You need
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: to be eighteen nineteen for you start making some real
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: changes to your body and your physical internally.
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: But outside of that, I just want you to be happy.
• 18:25
  Speaker 7: Do you ever feel pressure to represent the LGBTQA community.
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: No plus no Oka, And let me tell you why,
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: Just because when we take the Ready in twenty nineteen
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: and I got the I mean nod. One of the
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: producers on the show, it wasn't Tiffany was like, you
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: could be the spokesperson, you could be the voice. But
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: I was like Kevin Hart, that ain't what I want
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: to do. I want to make people feel good in life.
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: It's not a job that I want. It wouldn't be
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: for me because I'm not gonna say anything that I
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: don't believe. You're gonna watch my face like I'm not
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: caring livit, that care of lie livit, that bit scared
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: life for real.
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: That baby gonna come.
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: Out strange as the motherfucker, all them lads that made
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: gonna come out upside down backwards with three heads.
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: And I can't do that.
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: I have to say how I feel because I have
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: to look at me in the mirror, and I like
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: this bitch. I don't give before who else. I like
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: this bitch, and other people love her. They're gonna come
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: in and they love me so much. They come to
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: see me tomorrow night, Wednesday, night, we will be at
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: comedy in Harlem.
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: Man, Yeah, tonight, comedy in Harlem.
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: Me Rowanda watch. Y'll make sure y'all get your tickets
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: to come there. And then Thursday I'm at the Funny
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: Bone in Orlando. Say y'all get y'all tickets to come there.
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: But that is what it is. Yes, And because I
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: didn't take that position of being the spokesperson, I lost
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: a lot of work.
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: I lost a lot of gigs.
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: It didn't be transphobic because I wouldn't say what they
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: wanted me.
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: That is not what I was.
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: On a panel Din Limit and a whole bunch of
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: other trans girls. They asked all the girls, what is
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: a woman to you? One girl social construct? One girl
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: or a birther or somebody with a ters They asked
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: my dumb mass, They said, flame, what is a woman
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: to you?
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: I said, your mother?
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: That's that's a fact.
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: It was a completely the room, just flat lad, like
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: I had said something wrong, and I'm like it is.
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: That is the first woman you love, admired, admire.
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: I hate anger with mad but you see her and
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: you respect her and most of us who dress up and.
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: Live as our lives.
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: And when you look in the mirror, guests, who the
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: hell you see your mama? Because I see Valerie all
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: the time that she would have wear his green hair.
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: But I see, yeah, I see.
• 20:22
  Speaker 6: Them ask people that question. I don't know what they're
• 20:24
  Speaker 6: supposed to say, like what do you mean?
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: What is a woman?
• 20:25
  Speaker 9: A woman is a woman like because the definition thing
• 20:28
  Speaker 9: is what everybody is arguing about.
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: Mom.
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: And you know, I hate that some of the girls
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: from the community make biological women because I don't say
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: that other shit make biological women.
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: Feel bad for saying that they are a fucking biological woman.
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: You can't make a woman feel bad for being a woman,
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: because if she wouldn't have gave up the goose, you
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: wouldn't be here.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: What's a woman?
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: Just so when you.
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: Get at.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: Talking about it?
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: And you know what, when I watched you, it broke
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: my heart to see when you was on here and
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: Miss pat was on here and you was talking about
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: you missed that opportunity.
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: I missed lots of opportunities I have missed. So that's
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: why I was like, that's why I inbout you and say, girl,
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: it ain't worth it.
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: I'm telling you at this age, I missed so many
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: opportunities that I wish I would have just mm hmm.
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: But sometimes when you in the moment and you really
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: don't want to hear the bullshit.
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: I can't. You can't push.
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: The last to me, pushing the lives is while this
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: country is in the situation we in right now, the
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: fight I'm in is to be a free black person
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: in this country.
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: That's the fight. That's the only fight I'm in right now.
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: It's to be a free black person in this country.
• 21:41
  Speaker 9: So I guess, all right, yes, I why even talk
• 21:45
  Speaker 9: about it all? Then? Like if you know that, like
• 21:47
  Speaker 9: all of the stuff is going to come and you
• 21:49
  Speaker 9: can't really change people's minds, you're comfortable where you are, Like,
• 21:51
  Speaker 9: I feel like, why I even talk about it all?
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: Because I don't need anybody to think that I am
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: in this pigeonhole of these circles of people who.
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: Don't see reality. I'm not in that. I'm over here.
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: So you need to know because when they say they
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: hear the word trads, they think we're all grouped together,
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: and they love the Hollywood now the monolitht. I ain't
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: even in the group. I'm over here, I'm Rudolph. They
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: didn't let me play the raindeo games and.
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: I'm with them.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: Now, you identify the rain there, you got to pick something.
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: I take it off. My nose red last night, but
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: all in my beds is on your little girl saying
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: I started going.
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: First, but because I don't want to be pigeonholed, that
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: that is what they wanted, that I don't want to
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: be Charlemagne the Breast. The best interview I ever did
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: to this date was the Brilliant Idiots with Charlemagne and
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: Andrew Schultz and Bonang, and it was so genuine and pure,
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: because what you're doing is if I'm spread in last,
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: then she's never going to learn. If I'm spread last,
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: then you're never going to learn. But if I'm telling
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: the truth, you may not always agree with it, and
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: that's what we have to do as Americans. We might
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: not always be in agreement, but we better get in
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: alignment because we're about to lose our ship.
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: We have to get in alignment.
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: Nobody agrees with nobody everything somebody says, but you got
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: to be in and understanding.
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: Listen, this is where we are.
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: Everybody was, oh, calm la, come, I'm angry with black
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: people who didn't vote for Kamla Harris male and female
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: because I've been in ubers and taxis and the air forces,
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: and people say I couldn't vote for no black women.
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: These are black people. I couldn't.
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: I said, but it's your mama black, so you just
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: spitting your mama face. Let me be very transparent. She
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: was never my favorite candidate when it was twenty three,
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: but when it came down to two.
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: She was the only option I had. I didn't have
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: another choice. I would have voted for her ass twelve times.
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: If I could have. But y'all, people wanted to understand.
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: They wanted to be in this movie. Now we're in
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: this movie and we're losing.
• 23:36
  Speaker 7: You lost opportunities, you know, going again, not taking that spokesperson,
• 23:40
  Speaker 7: ye yeah.
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: Taking uspose, not saying that a transwoman is a woman,
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: not just a whole lot of other things. And I
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: never said it to disrespect my community or tell you
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: don't work with them, don't book them. I never did
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: any If I don't want to work with you, I
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: have the luxury and option and say oh I don't
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: want to work, well, I'm not doing that shit.
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: But they just took it upon themselves.
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: To bombard, guard and push, and that's what they got
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: angry to say we forced it, and I said that
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: they were forcing it.
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: We look where we are at.
• 24:08
  Speaker 7: Did you lose a lot of friends as well? Like
• 24:11
  Speaker 7: from that same commitment.
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: Friends I've had. I've had friends for forty and fifty years.
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: I have friends. I ain't gotten no one here friends
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: and we're friends on the internet. I got friends that
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: know me personally, know everything it is to know about me,
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: and we are friends for real. But I did lose
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: a lot of opportunities. Just no, I don't want to
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: see that happen to you. You young, you in the game.
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: You're selling out the shows, girl, don't don't.
• 24:30
  Speaker 6: Just yeah, when they come to her to be the
• 24:33
  Speaker 6: trans trance nothing.
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: I wasn't trying to get a six year and they
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: got a slap. Stupid.
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: But if we don't come to a place of putting
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: our hands on the table, having a real conversation of
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: why we don't understand each other or what we need
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: to understand about your we're gonna always be this and
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: I'm telling this, understand this. Internet bullying have real life consequences.
• 25:01
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 25:01
  Speaker 7: Well, what I've realized is is it's not even it's
• 25:06
  Speaker 7: not important.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: It's not I don't even think.
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: Talking to me.
• 25:12

  Speaker 4: don't even know if I want to be a big star.
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: Look what they're doing to all that big black big stars.
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: They dismantling everybody, and I'm trying to get on. I
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: was trying to get on Club Shahape, but now I'm like,
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: I don't know if I want to go on there
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: no more either.
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: Ship, good, let me chase.
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: So my girlfriend asked me last night, she said, Flaming,
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: do you think is is uh gay? I said, no,
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: I don't think he's gay. She said, oh, you think

• 27:46
  Speaker 4: he's bad, but that nigga, damn sure, purchase good. God,
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: he paid a lot of money.
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: Now, let me tell you something. We got to have
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: more strong courage. The courage of our elders.
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: And the black community from the fifties and the forties
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: and thirties.
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: Is so different from what we have now. Our courage
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: is this. Their courage was, They was out there.
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: They stood together, the Fanny lou Hamers, the James bondwhen
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: they protested they might and they did stuff to make great,
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: great change.
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: Rest in peace, Jesse Jackson. I think I said that.
• 28:22
  Speaker 6: We didn't tell you find out how much of this
• 28:24
  Speaker 6: is orchestrated.
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: And paid for.
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: Oh I believe we wouldn't tell you.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: Find that out.
• 28:29
  Speaker 6: Wait until you find out who paying people who getting
• 28:32
  Speaker 6: paid to do a lot of these campaigns against folks.
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: Well, so, I mean, let me tell you what really
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: hurts me as part of being as a trans person
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: right now, Because anything that happens to anybody in the
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: Republican Party, death or shooting or they.
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: Some kind of way, they tied trains up in that.
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: Last night they had a shooting at a hockey game
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: and the game was I think it was Robert, but
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: he identified as Roberto. Understand that that is going to
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: be another nail in our coffin because again, while I'm
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: not in that group, because that's how they're gonna group
• 29:01
  Speaker 4: us over, it's another trance kill them all.
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: Baby, I'm not.
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: Getting in that, and I'm I'm not disregarding them, but
• 29:08
  Speaker 4: I'm choosing. I got children, and I got I want
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: to see my grandchildren one day. I want to be
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: here for the long term. So I'm not getting in there.
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: I'm telling you that in my fight, and the Republican
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: Party was smart with how.
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: They did that. They pushed, they pushed, everybody holler.
• 29:20
  Speaker 4: It was the price of eggs, it was the price
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: of gas, it was a price of groceries.
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: But the face of the Republican Party was trans issues.
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: I watched football one of the games right before the
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: playoff when Trump won, they showed the commercial three times
• 29:32
  Speaker 4: You're gonna send your kid at the school as a boy.
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: And he's gonna come home as a girl.
• 29:36
  Speaker 4: That was scare Middle America, West virgin That scaed a
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: hell out of those people.
• 29:41
  Speaker 6: Now there's a lot of trans people that will be
• 29:43
  Speaker 6: hearing this and watching this, and they'll say, just because
• 29:45
  Speaker 6: you choose not to identify as what you are, it's
• 29:49
  Speaker 6: not gonna make you exempt if they want to get
• 29:52
  Speaker 6: rid of us.
• 29:52
  Speaker 8: I was thinking of these titties.
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: Let me tell you something. They can have these cities back.
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: I'm like to push it anyway.
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: I'm good.
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: You want the real, real not being given to you?
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: What is your problem?
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: When we're Tom Shankman, you know I'm gonna be brutally honest.
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: I don't give a thing. Listen, I'm cool.
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: Because what we did was we allowed anybody to identify
• 30:13
  Speaker 4: as trains when they are somebody throw a wing on it.
• 30:15
  Speaker 4: Thedn go to the women's prison attention and then women,
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: all the women in they're getting pregnant at it.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: Do you think do you feel like y'all it went
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: too far?
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, absolutely, that went too far, pushing the trend
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: every What happened to tom Boys growing up? By the way,
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: I used to love tom Boys. Tom Boys would always
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: protect me and they always put out. I love Tomboys
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: growing out? What happened to the little feminine boys. That
• 30:36
  Speaker 4: was just a little feminine. When they grew up, they
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: got married, had kids. You cannot tell everybody because you're masculine,
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: your trains, because you're feminine.
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: You gotta be you know what I'm saying. You just
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: let me live my life.
• 30:46
  Speaker 4: Life is stages and changes, and you might thirteen to
• 30:49
  Speaker 4: fifteen you think one thing, eighteen to twenty two you
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: think something else. Then twenty eight to thirty five you
• 30:53
  Speaker 4: think something else. You want to know why so many
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: trans not even just trans people. Some of these kids
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: are killing their parents because that she was unheart. When
• 31:00

  Speaker 9: kids and how their kids are moving through the world,
• 31:43

• 37:33
  Speaker 3: I'm not even a violent person, but that's what the
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: channel ship. They put about me on the internet that
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: I'm fighting, And I'm like, I.
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: Never saw nothing about you.
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: When I leave today, like the first about to be
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: all they know, they're not on me. Let me tell
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: you what's on me. God is on me. My career
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: is on me.
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: My my intelligence is on me, my wit and my
• 37:57
  Speaker 4: personality and me on these politics. That's what we need
• 38:00
  Speaker 4: to be on we really, let me tell you something
• 38:02
  Speaker 4: they didn't want. I thought she should have got booty
• 38:04
  Speaker 4: jeds and I read I've read some of her book,
• 38:06
  Speaker 4: and I knew why she couldn't get boot jigs.
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: The wouldn't have had a black woman and the gay man.
• 38:10
  Speaker 4: I thought that was a very honest thing for her
• 38:12
  Speaker 4: to say, and I thought that would have been the
• 38:14
  Speaker 4: face of what we would have took to win.
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: But they were so worried about Booty.
• 38:17
  Speaker 4: Jeds who he was sleeping with. Booty Jazz is a
• 38:19
  Speaker 4: great candidate. He has a great format, and all his
• 38:22
  Speaker 4: policies are pretty good. And he's married with kids, and
• 38:25
  Speaker 4: it ain't like he's sneaking like they was doing on
• 38:27
  Speaker 4: the down already. See he is married to man. Y'all
• 38:30
  Speaker 4: worry about what he's doing. Booty Jazz should have came out.
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: Since we lived in a world child dance.
• 38:36
  Speaker 4: In a world transparentcy transparency said Monday, Wednesday and Friday
• 38:41
  Speaker 4: is my turn. Tuesday, Thursday, Saturdays his turn on Sunday.
• 38:43
  Speaker 4: We praying as God's forgive us because we're gonna do
• 38:45
  Speaker 4: it again. You wouldn't build it all.
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: But you know, oh you can't say that. But y'all
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: let this man say everything he wanted you. A question,
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: Kamala Harris is black black cart is she black enough?
• 38:55
  Speaker 3: Is she black? When she was on the debate, I wish.
• 38:57
  Speaker 4: She would have reminded them just how black she was
• 38:59
  Speaker 4: and said, and this motherfucker we would have lost.
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: You would have never had the question whether she was
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: black again. And I think they pushed the inn too late.
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: I don't.
• 39:12
  Speaker 4: They should have never let Sleepy Joe uh debate. I
• 39:15
  Speaker 4: bet y'all miss Sleepy Joe right now. I miss Sleepy Joe.
• 39:18
  Speaker 4: I missed the black Man because is taking us out.
• 39:22
  Speaker 4: I think it's a necessary evil, though no I do not,
• 39:25
  Speaker 4: and can I say to see without you firing me?
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: Why what I f are you?
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: Okay?
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: The answer?
• 39:31
  Speaker 6: The reason I think it's necessary evil is because you
• 39:33
  Speaker 6: have to destroy in order to rebuild. And we are
• 39:35
  Speaker 6: realizing that America has been a house of cards for
• 39:37
  Speaker 6: a long time.
• 39:38
  Speaker 4: Charlottagne, I love you as my boss. I love you
• 39:42
  Speaker 4: as a person that I respect him Mayer. But when
• 39:44
  Speaker 4: when Kamala Harris was running.
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: For office, I couldn't tell whether you were for her
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: or against her.
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: It's not true.
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: Don't tell me how I feel. I'm watching from afar
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: and to you, if you don't cut me on given
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: on the defense like you're gonna do something, your little last.
• 40:04
  Speaker 4: Not just you, so many black powers black I'm gonna
• 40:07
  Speaker 4: get to you. I'm gonna get directly to you. The
• 40:09
  Speaker 4: stephen A. Smith's and some of those. They went after
• 40:12
  Speaker 4: her like, okay, we see her. But all they kept
• 40:14
  Speaker 4: pointing out was her.
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: Flaws, not her pluses.
• 40:17
  Speaker 4: This woman didn't get this job because she was appointed
• 40:20
  Speaker 4: this job like all this administration is.
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: Because they're loyalists. She worked her ass off the.
• 40:26
  Speaker 4: Music when you were and when they were interviewing you,
• 40:28
  Speaker 4: you were you were not you were like this, I'm
• 40:31
  Speaker 4: telling you when you were on Jonathan carl and because
• 40:34
  Speaker 4: I was manager, and and when you were when she.
• 40:36
  Speaker 3: Was here, you know, y'all never let her get her
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: policies out.
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: You were so many Well hold on now, you ask
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: me towards standing to you, don't cut me off.
• 40:45
  Speaker 4: You never let her get the policies out because y'all
• 40:47
  Speaker 4: y'all kept comparing her to Biden.
• 40:49
  Speaker 3: No hold on playing.
• 40:51
  Speaker 4: And then when she was on the view and said
• 40:53
  Speaker 4: that she wouldn't change much that Biden did. She didn't
• 40:55
  Speaker 4: mean that she wouldn't change, but she was just trying
• 40:57
  Speaker 4: to make it look like Biden didn't make any mistakes.
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: We always.
• 41:02
  Speaker 8: I think, what do you talk for yourself? And I'll
• 41:05
  Speaker 8: tell you what I need to go ahead.
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: Well, I just never felt like you had behind her
• 41:10
  Speaker 3: ninety five percent.
• 41:12
  Speaker 6: Which what you saw was me questioning the Democratic Party
• 41:16
  Speaker 6: and telling the Democratic Party everything that they were.
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: Doing that was going to call them to lose.
• 41:20
  Speaker 6: From from Biden to even when Kamala ran for those
• 41:23
  Speaker 6: hundred and seven days, I saw all the mistakes that
• 41:26
  Speaker 6: they were making. So when you see me critiquing the
• 41:28
  Speaker 6: Democratic Party, I'm telling them all the reasons I think
• 41:30
  Speaker 6: they were going to lose and guess what I was right.
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: But it's not about being right wrong.
• 41:36
  Speaker 5: Lost.
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: No, you can't cat. You can't say we should always
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: tell the truth and then wonder why we're in.
• 41:42
  Speaker 3: The position as black people. As black people, you read
• 41:46
  Speaker 3: her book, right, I read some of it.
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: If you read her book, everything that.
• 41:50
  Speaker 6: I've acknowledged and most people acknowledged it to reasons, the
• 41:53
  Speaker 6: reasons they lost.
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: She acknowledges hold on.
• 41:55
  Speaker 4: But if we as black people would get behind each
• 41:57
  Speaker 4: other and again get in an alignment, we might have
• 42:00
  Speaker 4: right now.
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: We just been pushed around.
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: Black people did get in alignment with Kamala Hars.
• 42:05
  Speaker 6: Not enough of us, ninety eight percent of black women,
• 42:09
  Speaker 6: almost ninety percent of black men.
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: We not to read the Kamala Harris lost. You gotta stop.
• 42:13
  Speaker 6: We gotta stop doing that. We gotta stop blaming it.
• 42:15
  Speaker 6: I just want to know, we gotta stop blaming us.
• 42:20
  Speaker 6: Black men and black women showed up for Kamala Harrs.
• 42:22
  Speaker 3: I damn showed the black man and a black woman,
• 42:24
  Speaker 3: just like we always do for.
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: The Democratic Party. So I don't know why we like
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: to point the finger at each other. What about all
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: old white women who didn't vote for Hillary, who didn't
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: vote for Biden, didn't vote.
• 42:39
  Speaker 3: I'm not I can't compete to talk about the white
• 42:41
  Speaker 3: community because I'm not white. I'm Black.
• 42:42
  Speaker 4: I'm only talking about But the data shows you who
• 42:46
  Speaker 4: racism made them lose. All he did was them for
• 42:48
  Speaker 4: took they calls off. They're still in the yard, they're
• 42:50
  Speaker 4: never getting out the yard. They just took their callers off.
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: But all I'm saying is data shows you who didn't
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: vote for her. It wasn't us.
• 42:56
  Speaker 3: Data shows you that Eli Musk had some tricky fingers.
• 43:02
  Speaker 9: I was just gonna say, I feel like what I
• 43:03
  Speaker 9: mean he said it, But I think what people were
• 43:05
  Speaker 9: trying to do with her was we needed like a
• 43:07
  Speaker 9: sharp cut through. We needed her to like speak against
• 43:09
  Speaker 9: a lot of the things, and that kind of would
• 43:10
  Speaker 9: have pushed her over because she had such limited time,
• 43:12
  Speaker 9: and she didn't do it. And I think what he
• 43:14
  Speaker 9: was trying to do was like a call out, like
• 43:16
  Speaker 9: here's the map, here's the plan.
• 43:18
  Speaker 8: Step up.
• 43:18
  Speaker 9: But I think the position she was in, she didn't
• 43:20
  Speaker 9: feel like she could have. But I don't think she
• 43:22
  Speaker 9: at that point she should have just like betted all
• 43:24
  Speaker 9: on herself.
• 43:25
  Speaker 3: Were you a black woman in America, you know that
• 43:27
  Speaker 3: y'all still have to walk a little bit on eggs.
• 43:28
  Speaker 4: Since this administration got in, three hundred thousand black professional
• 43:31
  Speaker 4: women have lost their job.
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I do.
• 43:33
  Speaker 9: But I feel like, so I asked you earlier, like
• 43:35
  Speaker 9: what's the point of even talking about the trend stuff
• 43:37
  Speaker 9: if you know nothing's gonna change? And you said you
• 43:39
  Speaker 9: gotta talk about it because of you know, you gotta
• 43:41
  Speaker 9: speak truth.
• 43:42
  Speaker 4: I have you, I have youth that actually followed me
• 43:44
  Speaker 4: and listen to me, and I want them to know
• 43:45
  Speaker 4: you don't have to live in a fantasy.
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: You can live in the real world.
• 43:48
  Speaker 4: And when you live in America, you have the wherewithal
• 43:50
  Speaker 4: and the due diligies you can live whoever you want
• 43:52
  Speaker 4: to be right. The reason they're pushing back at us
• 43:55
  Speaker 4: because now we're infiltrating places, not that we're not welcome
• 43:58
  Speaker 4: at but as a trans woman, at iological woman have
• 44:01
  Speaker 4: always been our closest allies. Biological women have always been
• 44:05
  Speaker 4: our alas. I mean, we have some brothers at school
• 44:07
  Speaker 4: with us, but they're not gonna march for us. They're
• 44:09
  Speaker 4: not gonna stand up a women wheel. But now these youngs,
• 44:12
  Speaker 4: these young trades girls, are trying to alienate the women.
• 44:14
  Speaker 4: I'm not gonna alienate.
• 44:15
  Speaker 9: But the reason I brought that up is because the
• 44:17
  Speaker 9: same way you got young people looking at you is
• 44:19
  Speaker 9: I'm looking at Kamala and when I read her book,
• 44:20
  Speaker 9: even when I saw some of the epsirts, I'm like,
• 44:22
  Speaker 9: why didn't you just say thistly yes?
• 44:25
  Speaker 8: But okay.
• 44:26
  Speaker 9: So now me as a black woman looking up to her,
• 44:28
  Speaker 9: I have to be in spaces where I'm like, oh,
• 44:30
  Speaker 9: I gotta tread, I got this, I got that, And
• 44:32
  Speaker 9: then my niece is going to tread and like, when
• 44:34
  Speaker 9: are we going to put a stop? It's a protocol
• 44:37
  Speaker 9: that you go on.
• 44:39
  Speaker 6: Laura's not wrong, but I don't even like pointing the
• 44:40
  Speaker 6: finger at Kamala. The reality is the Democratic Party played
• 44:43
  Speaker 6: it way too safe. And if you're going to tell
• 44:45
  Speaker 6: me that somebody is a threat to democracy, then you
• 44:48
  Speaker 6: need to govern like it and you need to.
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: Talk like it to support Why didn't Marigalill ever go
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: after Donald Trum.
• 44:56
  Speaker 4: And the Democratic Party were in her ear telling her
• 44:59
  Speaker 4: to move a certain way.
• 45:01
  Speaker 3: Now a bunch, and that's what I'm saying. It was
• 45:04
  Speaker 3: a pressure from that. She couldn't. I get what you're saying, Lauren.
• 45:06
  Speaker 4: I wanted her to come out jazz and Crockett, but
• 45:08
  Speaker 4: I needed her to have Stacey Abrams temperament and stay
• 45:11
  Speaker 4: as Stacey Abrals s back called.
• 45:13
  Speaker 3: If Stacey Abrams was a man, she'd be Barack Obama.
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: You know you knew on the interview you'll should watch
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: when I had her on my TV show, No the
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: Vice President come up.
• 45:21
  Speaker 8: I saw that interview.
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: When I was asking her, Who's who's the real president?
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: Joe Mansion that Joe.
• 45:25
  Speaker 6: She got mad because if you go watch that interview,
• 45:27
  Speaker 6: I'm telling her, then she got to step up and
• 45:30
  Speaker 6: take the reins at this party because that motherfucker.
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, this was twenty twenty two.
• 45:35
  Speaker 9: That night is something her because that moment when she
• 45:37
  Speaker 9: that was the first time I think I ever saw
• 45:39
  Speaker 9: her like just talk straight.
• 45:40
  Speaker 6: And I was like, oh, stop because I know how
• 45:42
  Speaker 6: she talks. Because and when the first time you bet
• 45:44
  Speaker 6: come of her twenty sixteen, twenty sixteen, twenty seventeen. You
• 45:49
  Speaker 6: know why, because I brought it to the breakfast club.
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: I was on the campaign.
• 45:54
  Speaker 6: I was on the campaign in twenty and twenty was
• 45:57
  Speaker 6: none of y'all. And that's still that's my people to
• 46:01
  Speaker 6: this day right now.
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: That's my actual lady in the room. You're right, but
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: that's my actual friend right now.
• 46:06
  Speaker 3: Oh listen. I voted for her.
• 46:08
  Speaker 4: I had my kids vote for her, all of my too.
• 46:10
  Speaker 4: We did a whole TikTok thing where we danced and
• 46:13
  Speaker 4: went to the post of both of her.
• 46:14
  Speaker 3: Because I knew what it was. I did not want
• 46:16
  Speaker 3: the monster that was coming to be where he is
• 46:18
  Speaker 3: right now because I didn't even know it's gonna be
• 46:20
  Speaker 3: as bad as it is.
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: Well with Democrats shouldn't have played it so safe.
• 46:23
  Speaker 4: Democrats the Democratic Party have been weak ever since they
• 46:26
  Speaker 4: lost the gangster, which is Nancy Pelosi.
• 46:28
  Speaker 3: She was the most gangster the Democratic But we got
• 46:30
  Speaker 3: new ones. We got a young Maxine Waters, which is
• 46:33
  Speaker 3: a Jasmine crocket guy like that young sister.
• 46:36
  Speaker 4: Like Arals, Stacy Abrams. The way she delivers it's always sexual.
• 46:40
  Speaker 4: You can't change her temperament. You can't get up under
• 46:43
  Speaker 4: her skin. She gonna part them lips and show that
• 46:45
  Speaker 4: gap and give it to you.
• 46:46
  Speaker 3: Baby. I want me a gap. I'm going to get
• 46:48
  Speaker 3: me a gap tomorrow.
• 46:51
  Speaker 6: Also, we should be, okay, criticized in our elected officials.
• 46:54
  Speaker 6: You see all them people on the right right now
• 46:56
  Speaker 6: who supported Trump. They ain't got no problem criticizing Trump
• 46:59
  Speaker 6: right now.
• 47:00
  Speaker 3: It's so different already, Yes, but you still but you.
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: Still got to tell the truth. And the president is
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: an office.
• 47:05
  Speaker 3: No weight needed to lie on this one to get
• 47:08
  Speaker 3: you to get her off.
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: So they should lie about Trump and at he's doing
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: a good job.
• 47:12
  Speaker 3: What are you doing?
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: But that's my point.
• 47:13
  Speaker 6: The people on the right who supported him are now
• 47:16
  Speaker 6: holding him to task and criticizing him.
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: That's good, that's a good thing.
• 47:19
  Speaker 4: They only doing that because there's too many names on
• 47:21
  Speaker 4: those Epstein files that they might be on there by
• 47:23
  Speaker 4: the way, when those P Diddy fowles come out, take
• 47:25
  Speaker 4: number seventeen.
• 47:27
  Speaker 3: That's not me, that's Ai.
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: Flame. What's something about.
• 47:34
  Speaker 4: What?
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: Something people still don't understand about you that frustrate you.

  Speaker 3: to learn, and I love to listen to people's stories,
• 47:48
  Speaker 3: and I don't listen for the trigger words.
• 47:50
  Speaker 4: I want to hear the whole story so I can
• 47:52
  Speaker 4: hear where you're coming from. Because you know, some people like,
• 47:54

• 48:08
  Speaker 3: But I'm a great dad.
• 48:11
  Speaker 4: I'm a fantastic entertainer, and I'm a funny comedian most
• 48:15
