- 1:58Speaker 1: jasmine standers, what's trending?
- 2:00Speaker 3: Let me tell you what's trending. Wow, we saw this
- 2:02Speaker 3: one coming, some of us did. It's very unfortunate. I
- 2:04Speaker 3: see where the uncle nearest company has made a change there.
- 2:09Speaker 3: Remember von Weaver, she is out, as CEO said, very sad. Now,
- 2:15Speaker 3: of course, social media is saying that they had it
- 2:17Speaker 3: in for her all along, because you know, you can't
- 2:19Speaker 3: have a black woman coming into a white man's, especially
- 2:21Speaker 3: an old white man's business and uh, not only taking over,
- 2:25Speaker 3: but you know, creating new pathways of doing things and
- 2:29Speaker 3: implementing social media and all the things and all of
- 2:31Speaker 3: the changes that she implemented and most importantly doing it
- 2:35Speaker 3: like right in their face, whereas other people are of
- 2:38Speaker 3: the belief that has she been more focused on the business,
- 2:42Speaker 3: uh and less on social media, perhaps it would have
- 2:46Speaker 3: been the game is the game, And I would imagine,
- 2:51Speaker 3: you know, I got the opportunity to interview her, and
- 2:53Speaker 3: she talked about how you know, it felt walking into
- 2:56Speaker 3: these meetings where it was not just white men, but
- 2:58Speaker 3: all white men who were not a customed to having
- 3:00Speaker 3: conversations with a black woman, much less a strong black woman,
- 3:04Speaker 3: and how difficult it was. So I would imagine, you know,
- 3:06Speaker 3: it might have been a little set up.
- 3:07Speaker 2: The game is cold. The game is cold.
- 3:10Speaker 3: Speaking of the game being cold, somebody talked to Boosy
- 3:13Speaker 3: yo boy. So apparently he's trying to recover three hundred
- 3:17Speaker 3: thousand dollars because he paid six hundred thousand dollars to
- 3:22Speaker 3: get a.
- 3:22Speaker 2: Pardon and it didn't work. He didn't get it. He's
- 3:26Speaker 2: still waiting for it now.
- 3:27Speaker 3: Apparently he chose a group of these guys who are
- 3:30Speaker 3: far right, by the way, to help him get this
- 3:33Speaker 3: presidential pardon from Trump.
- 3:34Speaker 1: So far white far right is a yeah, you mean
- 3:42Speaker 1: somebody in the far right actually did a darky dirty
- 3:44Speaker 1: oh no, yeah, yeah.
- 3:48Speaker 3: Six gladly pay you Tuesday for a party. So he
- 3:54Speaker 3: done ran into a little snag. So I don't know
- 3:56Speaker 3: what that's going to mean for him, but one thing
- 3:57Speaker 3: is for sure. It's a painful lesson actually to lessens
- 4:00Speaker 3: there right there and trending. And of course, you know,
- 4:03Speaker 3: I got to talk about the cruise just a little bit.
- 4:05Speaker 3: I had the opportunity to talk to Karen White I'm
- 4:07Speaker 3: super excited about seeing God. Yea super Well, can I
- 4:11Speaker 3: tell you a story about here?
- 4:12Speaker 2: Wait, you can tell it on the next break. We
- 4:14Speaker 2: got to go. Well, there you go. That's what's tryda.
- 4:19Speaker 2: This is CNN Scott Jennel.
- 4:21Speaker 4: The rumors about him being dead or brain dead or
- 4:24Speaker 4: you know, being his body's.
- 4:25Speaker 2: Being hidden somewhere.
- 4:26Speaker 1: I've seen all kinds of crazy things on the internet.
- 4:27Speaker 4: That's obviously not true because he picked up the phone
- 4:30Speaker 4: and called me and that was.
- 4:31Speaker 2: That was a good thing.
- 4:32Speaker 1: You spoke with that Mitch McConnell today.
- 4:34Speaker 2: What did you talk about?
- 4:35Speaker 1: What did he say?
- 4:36Speaker 2: We talked for about seventeen minutes.
- 4:38Speaker 1: Now, I can't say with any level of certainty whether
- 4:42Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell is dead or alive, but I do know
- 4:44Speaker 1: that if you can talk to Scott Jennings, and you
- 4:47Speaker 1: can talk to Considerator Thune for minutes, then you can
- 4:51Speaker 1: make a video, not take a picture. This is the
- 4:54Speaker 1: picture proving that you are alive. If you can talk
- 4:57Speaker 1: to them and show how vible you are to them
- 5:00Speaker 1: who you.
- 5:00Speaker 2: Do not work for. You can talk to the.
- 5:04Speaker 1: Citizens of the United States, specifically the citizens of Kentucky
- 5:08Speaker 1: that you're able to do the job. I don't know
- 5:10Speaker 1: if he's dead or lie. I don't know if he's
- 5:12Speaker 1: here or if he's not. But I do know this
- 5:14Speaker 1: that there is no other job in the United States
- 5:16Speaker 1: of America where you can be absent for your job
- 5:19Speaker 1: and not be expected for people to move on. You
- 5:22Speaker 1: can't just no call or no show. Try that at
- 5:24Speaker 1: your job. Try not showing up, not calling, not proving
- 5:29Speaker 1: that something is wrong with you, and keeping your job
- 5:32Speaker 1: and expecting that you would keep your job. Nowhere else
- 5:35Speaker 1: in this country. I don't care what you do. Can
- 5:37Speaker 1: you not show up or not show the ability or
- 5:40Speaker 1: the willingness to do what it is that you were
- 5:42Speaker 1: contracted to do. That contract is the oath that you
- 5:46Speaker 1: swore to the people of the United States of America,
- 5:49Speaker 1: specifically the people of Kentucky.
- 5:51Speaker 2: Can you do your job?
- 5:52Speaker 1: Are you capable of doing your job?
- 5:53Speaker 2: Are you willing to do your job?
- 5:55Speaker 1: And if you can talk to someone else, you can
- 5:58Speaker 1: talk to the people who hire you. I also know
- 6:01Speaker 1: something else that Ms McConnell has excellent healthcare coverage, excellent,
- 6:06Speaker 1: the finest in the world. So if he is in
- 6:09Speaker 1: some kind of medical peril, that the medical the medical
- 6:13Speaker 1: apparatus he has will do the best at all that
- 6:15Speaker 1: is possible to make sure that he has a positive outcome,
- 6:19Speaker 1: that they are doing everything they can do to make
- 6:21Speaker 1: sure that he is availing himself to whatever medicine has
- 6:26Speaker 1: to offer.
- 6:27Speaker 2: Can you say the same, Ms.
- 6:28Speaker 1: McConnell has spent his life denying you the very very
- 6:33Speaker 1: medical coverage he has. Now he gets to not do
- 6:37Speaker 1: his job or not be able to show up and
- 6:39Speaker 1: do his work and still be safe, but he's denied
- 6:42Speaker 1: you that very same thing. He has a coverage that
- 6:45Speaker 1: he don't think you good. He doesn't think you're good
- 6:47Speaker 1: enough to have. He's all right, are you that this
- 6:50Speaker 1: is not theoretical? He has been integral and making sure
- 6:53Speaker 1: that you do not get what he has, that you
- 6:55Speaker 1: are not safe when he is that you make sure
- 6:58Speaker 1: that your family is not dead estimated under the weight
- 7:01Speaker 1: of medical beings. Now, I don't know if it's will
- 7:04Speaker 1: come all right. I don't know if he's not, but
- 7:07Speaker 1: I know that a large facility of this country will
- 7:10Speaker 1: not be if they have a medical emergency similar to his,
- 7:13Speaker 1: because of the very things he's done, the very decisions
- 7:16Speaker 1: he's made. He's decided to make sure as a leader
- 7:21Speaker 1: that he's all right, but you're not. And that to
- 7:23Speaker 1: me says everything you need to know about Mitchell.
- 7:26Speaker 2: Gummon, she's jazz. She's like it's the Jazzy report on
- 7:32Speaker 2: the D. L. Hughley Show.
- 7:35Speaker 3: The Postal Service has raised the price of the Forever stamp.
- 7:39Speaker 3: The change comes as the agency says it's in the
- 7:41Speaker 3: middle of a severe financial crisis amid rising operational cost
- 7:45Speaker 3: The price of a Forever stamp is increasing by four cents,
- 7:49Speaker 3: from seventy eight cents to eighty two. When it was
- 7:51Speaker 3: introduced in two thousand and seven, it was forty one cents,
- 7:53Speaker 3: which you know, marks one hundred percent increase in nineteen years.
- 7:57Speaker 1: Yeah, but you can get forty one cent mail some
- 7:58Speaker 1: all across the country. You come on, now, Yeah, I
- 8:01Speaker 1: guess that's true.
- 8:01Speaker 3: If you're if you're still mailing things, I keep them
- 8:04Speaker 3: Forever SAMs on hand just in case. Yeah I don't,
- 8:08Speaker 3: but you know, I can't think of the last time
- 8:09Speaker 3: I went into the post office.
- 8:11Speaker 2: But yeah, you know, it's like a boy scout, always prepared.
- 8:15Speaker 1: So if you use it, if you got anything delivered
- 8:18Speaker 1: through Amazon or you know, through anything, because they use
- 8:22Speaker 1: the postal service a lot too, not more customer.
- 8:26Speaker 2: Well, good for them.
- 8:27Speaker 3: A long time study has linked meniscous trimming to faster
- 8:31Speaker 3: arthritis and more knee replacements, three times as many surgery
- 8:35Speaker 3: patients ultimately underwent a total knee replacement. The research applies
- 8:39Speaker 3: to middle aged and older adults with degenerative tears, not
- 8:43Speaker 3: acute injuries. It adds way to years of data suggesting
- 8:46Speaker 3: that for this group, the operation offers a little more
- 8:48Speaker 3: benefit than physical therapy. Ah so now you know, oh,
- 8:53Speaker 3: you know, all right, So the question that we are
- 8:57Speaker 3: asking today, this is very interesting.
- 9:01Speaker 1: So of course Lindsey Graham suddenly passed on. It was
- 9:04Speaker 1: a suddenly, It was a suddenly.
- 9:06Speaker 4: Ill.
- 9:06Speaker 1: I didn't care that, uh uh, Lindsey Graham was a
- 9:09Speaker 1: closeted gay man.
- 9:11Speaker 2: I didn't.
- 9:11Speaker 1: I just care that every time he came out of
- 9:13Speaker 1: that closet. He only came out of that closet. The
- 9:16Speaker 1: higher gave prostitutes and the champion fight for war. So
- 9:20Speaker 1: it was blowing. It was blow and blowing stuff up.
- 9:25Speaker 2: Oh boy, if he.
- 9:26Speaker 1: Came out of that closet with the little wand he
- 9:28Speaker 1: had at Disney World, that'd be okay. What he does.
- 9:32Speaker 2: Oh he did have a wand if he was.
- 9:35Speaker 1: Waving that wand you know, that would have been fine.
- 9:37Speaker 1: But every time he comes out of that closet, somebody
- 9:40Speaker 1: brown eyes.
- 9:40Speaker 3: Somebody brown eyes or loses, you know, some kind of
- 9:43Speaker 3: benefit or man.
- 9:44Speaker 1: No, I think he's a war he was a warmonger,
- 9:48Speaker 1: he was a hawk. I think he did very little.
- 9:51Speaker 1: I think And we talked about this to eulogize me,
- 9:54Speaker 1: to speak well of. And I tell you what, you
- 9:58Speaker 1: know that you're not missed this out this You know
- 10:01Speaker 1: that your life isn't what you.
- 10:02Speaker 2: Wanted it to be.
- 10:03Speaker 1: He he ain't even dead yet narrative replaced him. Oh yeah,
- 10:07Speaker 1: that's so transactional. And don't tell me his sister is
- 10:11Speaker 1: a DEI higher. Yeah, she ain't never done nothing. But
- 10:14Speaker 1: it said a little bit of political background, and neither
- 10:18Speaker 1: did Tim Scott. So they have two d I don't
- 10:21Speaker 1: talk to me about that ever again. So do you
- 10:23Speaker 1: think that there was file play involved when Lindsey Graham's in?
- 10:26Speaker 1: That's you know, like right wing has conspiratories or you know,
- 10:30Speaker 1: conspiracies all the time, like a Barack Oba one born here.
- 10:33Speaker 1: People like being stuffed in the pizza. Wait, what he's
- 10:36Speaker 1: a restaurant. I mean, come on, so you know, do
- 10:38Speaker 1: you think that there was fil play involved? I do
- 10:40Speaker 1: think somebody clapped that dude, I personally do, yeah, I
- 10:44Speaker 1: personally do. So do you think that there was fire
- 10:46Speaker 1: play involved in Lindsey Graham's sudden death? We're gonna go
- 10:50Speaker 1: to our social media platform. What are they say out there? Especially?
- 10:52Speaker 4: Okay, so we got Kingston from Baltimore, A Mike Kingston.
- 10:55Speaker 4: You know he's here yea month. So Kingston said, I
- 10:59Speaker 4: don't know if I play was involved, but it is
- 11:02Speaker 4: interesting that his sister replaced him so quickly.
- 11:05Speaker 1: First off, they're almost against everything he was except the warpark.
- 11:10Speaker 1: Like he said, when I go to heaven, I ain't
- 11:12Speaker 1: gonna talk to me about whether I committed. Well, when
- 11:14Speaker 1: you go to heaven, he'll have a couple of other
- 11:16Speaker 1: questions for you. It's the book that you that you
- 11:20Speaker 1: say that you quote the office to be believed correct. First,
- 11:24Speaker 1: he's gonna ask why Tim Scott is in your d MS.
- 11:27Speaker 1: That might be might be anyone to send some much
- 11:31Speaker 1: time on your knees and not praying.
- 11:32Speaker 2: That might be another question. You know what white is
- 11:37Speaker 2: grind to go down?
- 11:38Speaker 1: Every time because that might have I mean, so that
- 11:39Speaker 1: might be a series of questions that you get to
- 11:42Speaker 1: before you.
- 11:43Speaker 2: Get to that one. Yeah, well, yes, remember that.
- 11:46Speaker 1: You remember that the whole government shut down and he
- 11:49Speaker 1: was walking along Disney Well with a prince's wand man
- 11:52Speaker 1: oh man lady still voting against things that that people
- 11:56Speaker 1: like him but like like like it's crazy, you see
- 11:59Speaker 1: all smid hipocrisy.
- 12:00Speaker 3: Yeah, which is interesting because you remember I was telling
- 12:03Speaker 3: you this yesterday.
- 12:03Speaker 2: I saw where here in West Hollywood.
- 12:06Speaker 3: Uh, they lowered the flags at half mass, which is
- 12:10Speaker 3: interesting because West Hollywood is home to you know, the
- 12:13Speaker 3: large LGBTQ community here. They were outraged because you know,
- 12:17Speaker 3: he had always fought against them.
- 12:19Speaker 2: Yeah, like very loud, but they got they take their
- 12:22Speaker 2: hears where they can get them against. I heard I
- 12:24Speaker 2: saw grinder online. If that was a true picture. They
- 12:26Speaker 2: said they had their grinder.
- 12:28Speaker 1: Boy, they're gonna be the man half businesses.
- 12:33Speaker 2: I heard Lindsay was pretty good at lowering masts. Yeah
- 12:36Speaker 2: wow in the boom the boom.
- 12:41Speaker 1: All right, So do you think that there was foul
- 12:43Speaker 1: play and involved in the sudden depth of Lindsey Graant
