  And you know what they say, if you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.
• 0:22
  Brought to you by The Melting Pot.
• 0:31
  I don't know why The Melting Pot say they all that though.
• 0:35
  Hear me.
• 0:36
  Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.
• 0:49
  Hey, it's your chef, it's your girl Sly.
• 0:52
  And I'm Cardi Da Don.
• 0:54
  To come hit y'all with some of these, some of these stories.
• 0:58
  Some of these, I can't fathom.
• 1:00
  Some are a little bit expected.
• 1:02
  Some you just gonna...
• 1:04
  Hold on, pause.
• 1:05
  Pause.
• 1:06
  What you mean expected?
• 1:07
  Because what we're talking about, I been put on my bingo board.
• 1:11
  So let's dive right into it.
• 1:13
  Where do you even start?
• 1:15
  I'ma start it off light.
• 1:16
  And by light, I mean non-light.
• 1:19
  And we gonna start it off in our backyard.
• 1:22
  You heard about Riverdale, Georgia?
• 1:24
  You heard about Riverdale, Georgia.
• 1:25
  You heard about Southern Regional, right?
• 1:27
  Yeah, everybody know.
• 1:28
  If you from this side of town, or you just be around and see,
• 1:32
  you know, everybody who's from there, you know.
• 1:35
  One of the worst hospitals.
• 1:36
  Don't go there if you really in dire need.
• 1:39
  Or if you just care about your health and safety.
• 1:42
  Well, unfortunately for this young couple,
• 1:45
  they didn't get that memo.
• 1:47
  Jessica and Trayvon, they went in that hospital
• 1:49
  to give birth to their son.
• 1:51
  And the doctor decapitated the baby during the birthing process.
• 1:54
  Ripped the hair right off the baby.
• 1:56
  Then, you know, Jessica was unaware.
• 2:02
  So she gave birth to the baby unaware of this situation.
• 2:06
  And when it was time to hand the baby to Jessica,
• 2:09
  the doctor wrapped the head in the blanket
• 2:12
  like it was a complete baby and passed it off.
• 2:15
  Oh, God.
• 2:16
  Now he trying to fake it till he fake it.
• 2:19
  But the question remains, why did the nurses that
• 2:23
  was in the room, why they didn't try to intervene and be like,
• 2:26
  hey, something's not right here.
• 2:28
  Yeah.
• 2:29
  Or don't you think you're a little too rough?
• 2:31
  Like you.
• 2:33
  Maybe like breached or what's that?
• 2:36
  Yeah, tangled up in something or.
• 2:38
  No, she just yanked it out.
• 2:40
  She yanked it too hard.
• 2:42
  So what the doctor tried to do, tried to convince,
• 2:46
  I guess she felt like because they were young,
• 2:49
  she was trying to convince them to cremate the baby,
• 2:52
  you know, to get rid of evidence.
• 2:54
  No, ma'am.
• 2:55
  And if y'all want to know who the doctor is,
• 2:57
  her name is Dr. Tracy St. Julian.
• 3:00
  So the baby stopped descending due to shoulder dystocia
• 3:03
  while being delivered vaginally.
• 3:05
  And Dr. Tracy St. Julian reportedly
• 3:08
  attempted to deliver the baby vaginally
• 3:10
  using different methods, including applying traction
• 3:13
  to the baby's head.
• 3:15
  After not being able to deliver the baby,
• 3:17
  Dr. St. Julian reportedly decided
• 3:19
  to perform a stat cesarean section
• 3:22
  at approximately 11.49 PM.
• 3:24
  The baby's body and legs were then delivered at 12.11 AM.
• 3:29
  And the baby's head was delivered vaginally.
• 3:32
  The lawsuit was over.
• 3:33
  And by the way, Jessica is suing the parents
• 3:36
  of that hospital, which I will tell them
• 3:39
  I want everybody's license in the room.
• 3:40
  I want everybody's license in this room, the next room,
• 3:42
  the room over.
• 3:43
  Trying to find her on Facebook.
• 3:45
  The lawsuit claimed that Dr. St. Julian did not tell Ross
• 3:48
  and her family about the decapitation
• 3:51
  when she spoke to them at approximately 5 AM July 10th.
• 3:55
  The lawsuit also claimed that the hospital discouraged Ross
• 3:58
  and the baby's father, Trayvion Taylor Sr.,
• 4:02
  for seeking an autopsy, saying a free autopsy was not
• 4:06
  under the circumstances.
• 4:07
  Yes, it is.
• 4:08
  Yes, it is.
• 4:09
  Instead, they reportedly encouraged the couple,
• 4:11
  like I said, to have their son cremated
• 4:13
  instead of being sent to a funeral home.
• 4:15
  When Ross and Taylor demanded to see and hold their child,
• 4:18
  the baby was reportedly tightly wrapped in a blanket
• 4:21
  and his head propped on top of his body
• 4:24
  to conceal the fact that he was decapitated.
• 4:26
  Yeah, lawsuit.
• 4:28
  Lawsuit.
• 4:30
  Lawsuit.
• 4:32
  I'm talking about every dollar.
• 4:35
  There's no accreditation.
• 4:37
  Every dollar that's in Southern Regional's bank account
• 4:43
  is going to be in my bank account.
• 4:45
  I want every dollar, nickel, dime, penny,
• 4:49
  check in the drawer.
• 4:51
  That was in my account now.
• 4:54
  I got a token in Turks.
• 5:00
  Besides the aftermath of what they choose to do,
• 5:06
  like the parents choose to do, or whatever,
• 5:08
  of course, lawsuits, like we're saying.
• 5:10
  It's just the fact, though,
• 5:12
  I feel like they need to be fairly compensated.
• 5:14
  Don't even try to bullshit them
• 5:16
  because that's some fucked up shit.
• 5:18
  They need to be overly fairly compensated.
• 5:21
  Because at the end of the day,
• 5:23
  we can't get a life back.
• 5:25
  Also, at the end of the day,
• 5:26
  I know for a fact that you
• 5:28
  ripped my baby's head off his body.
• 5:30
  I need to be overly compensated.
• 5:32
  Now, fairly, fairly is okay.
• 5:34
  I lost a pinky in the hospital
• 5:36
  due to poor cleaning conditions.
• 5:38
  That's fairly compensated.
• 5:40
  Nah, y'all hoes ripped my baby in half.
• 5:43
  Just think about that trauma, though.
• 5:45
  Besides all of that,
• 5:47
  they look fairly young.
• 5:50
  It's their first kid.
• 5:53
  It is their first kid.
• 5:55
  The baby's going to be named Travion Jr.
• 5:58
  Damn.
• 6:00
  That's going to hit.
• 6:03
  That trauma's going to hit y'all a whole lot.
• 6:05
  It's going to hit all of y'all at once.
• 6:09
  And that is one of the stories
• 6:10
  that you can find on our Instagram
• 6:12
  at TheRealMeltonPot,
• 6:14
  that's T-H-E-E, RealMeltonPot,
• 6:16
  along with a host of others.
• 6:18
  We're constantly updating.
• 6:19
  You can find our Instagram, our Facebook,
• 6:21
  and be a part of the conversations on Facebook.
• 6:23
  They be chatting.
• 6:24
  Y'all be having lots of thoughts and opinions,
• 6:26
  and we do see them all.
• 6:28
  Though we may not comment.
• 6:29
  Now, let's get to something that's going to,
• 6:33
  according to TikTok and the people on the Internet
• 6:36
  that are freaking out about it at the moment.
• 6:38
  Lil Tay, this is what all y'all hoes hear.
• 6:41
  Bitch, she cost me $200,000.
• 6:44
  I'm only nine years old.
• 6:46
  I ain't got no license,
• 6:47
  but I still drive this sports car, bitch.
• 6:49
  Your friend, her rapper, ain't even doing it.
• 6:52
  Lil Tay, that's your audio, bro.
• 6:54
  About that clip, y'all.
• 6:55
  That was Lil Tay.
• 6:57
  Something real off-putting is going on.
• 7:01
  Real off-putting is going on in that story,
• 7:04
  that situation.
• 7:06
  You know, she lost a brother.
• 7:08
  What was that?
• 7:09
  Was it a couple weeks ago?
• 7:11
  Or like earlier this year?
• 7:13
  And it's like, now she was proclaimed dead,
• 7:17
  and now they come back today.
• 7:20
  And it's like, oh, she's not dead.
• 7:22
  And it's just like, it's a lot of issues.
• 7:25
  Aren't you the one who told me she went missing or something?
• 7:29
  Yeah, apparently she went missing.
• 7:32
  I didn't know nothing about her going missing,
• 7:34
  because honestly, to be honest with you,
• 7:37
  I'm not going to hold you.
• 7:38
  Lil Tay's not something that interests me.
• 7:41
  So yeah, the first video, OK, it was cool.
• 7:44
  Lil Su Young from Rush Hour,
• 7:46
  trying to get a book, you know, calling us broke.
• 7:48
  After a while, once the family started getting involved
• 7:50
  and she started making money, then it
• 7:53
  started doing too much for me.
• 7:54
  So I didn't know that she went missing.
• 7:56
  And now I just feel like it's all,
• 8:02
  you ain't seen a Karlie Russell me twice in my lifetime.
• 8:05
  I was about to say, it's giving very much Karlie Russell.
• 8:08
  Yeah, it is.
• 8:09
  We live by a lot on Tiki.
• 8:11
  It's a lot of live.
• 8:13
  It's a year of live.
• 8:15
  And one more other thing.
• 8:17
  It's a lot going on.
• 8:19
  OK, so I feel like it is something similar to that.
• 8:22
  Maybe, you know, we're all on the outside looking in.
• 8:27
  But something about the money.
• 8:29
  You know, Su Young making this money, da, da, da, da.
• 8:33
  You know, parents, we've heard it time and time again.
• 8:36
  Parents are so good.
• 8:37
  Like, you know, your kid making money.
• 8:39
  Y'all should, you know.
• 8:40
  Y'all should make sure y'all straight, you know,
• 8:42
  coming from that struggle right now.
• 8:44
  You're taking advantage.
• 8:46
  Maybe some stripes happened.
• 8:48
  Some sacrifices were made.
• 8:51
  I feel like they kind of locked her away for when this,
• 8:54
  like, not kidnapped, but when she, quote, unquote,
• 8:57
  was missing.
• 8:58
  They probably had her chained up in a little tiny shed.
• 9:02
  No reveal, you know.
• 9:04
  Kept her alive, but kept her well-trained, well-mannered.
• 9:09
  Like, very vulnerable, very self-sacrificed.
• 9:12
  I don't know.
• 9:13
  I don't know.
• 9:14
  There's a lot of crazy conspiracies out here.
• 9:16
  Listen, Su Young said I was going to have to keep
• 9:18
  the post on this story.
• 9:20
  You know, y'all are already in them comment sections,
• 9:22
  this story.
• 9:23
  Take it over to TikTok, Instagram, Twitter, all of that.
• 9:26
  So we're just going to keep our ear to the streets,
• 9:29
  keep it locked in.
• 9:30
  And on to the financial side of life.
• 9:33
  Apparently, the American dollar is declining.
• 9:37
  Russia and China and other nations
• 9:39
  are trying to join together to stop the American dollar
• 9:43
  and do a thing called BRICS, which is basically
• 9:46
  their money being backed up by gold and cryptocurrency.
• 9:50
  And when this goes into effect, one US dollar
• 9:55
  will be worth 55 BRICS.
• 9:58
  And to be honest with you, everybody's
• 10:00
  going to uproar about it.
• 10:03
  But I don't care.
• 10:05
  Life already hard.
• 10:08
  It's just been one thing after another.
• 10:10
  So to me, it just does not matter to me.
• 10:13
  Because honestly, I feel like if the American dollar goes
• 10:16
  into default and all these other nations try
• 10:19
  to stop using our money, then honestly,
• 10:21
  the only thing we really have to do
• 10:23
  is shut down our borders, stop traveling with them,
• 10:27
  build up our army, call up Donald Trump
• 10:30
  so he can use those launch codes, do that situation.
• 10:35
  Who the hell are y'all?
• 10:37
  Y'all trying to pay these bills and whatnot for these nations?
• 10:40
  They're going to do real damage?
• 10:44
  They got Donald Trump that's going to snatch us
• 10:46
  off this side of the water?
• 10:48
  I think not.
• 10:49
  So yeah, so I mean, we have an army.
• 10:52
  We use that army.
• 10:53
  We do what we got to do.
• 10:54
  Whatever nations rock with us, they rock with us.
• 10:56
  If they don't rock with us, they don't rock with us.
• 10:58
  So now the argument is being made that, you know,
• 11:02
  we go back to Africa, can't offer free visas.
• 11:06
  I'm not going to Africa.
• 11:09
  I'm not going to Africa.
• 11:13
  And for those deeply rooted people, those from Africa,
• 11:18
  I have nothing against Africa, where
• 11:20
  our work is very diverse.
• 11:22
  I love everybody, but I'm just not going there.
• 11:23
  I'm going to stay right here.
• 11:24
  Why do I have to go somewhere else?
• 11:25
  Why do I have to go over there?
• 11:26
  For what?
• 11:27
  Because if I go to Africa, it's problems in Africa.
• 11:30
  They got their own problems.
• 11:32
  They got their own government problems.
• 11:34
  And look up the government in Nigeria and their problems.
• 11:38
  I'm not going there.
• 11:39
  I mean, you got Canada up north.
• 11:41
  They're all nice, and you got Justin Trudeau
• 11:43
  and all of that good stuff.
• 11:44
  But to be real, sometimes when I get in the shower
• 11:46
  and I'm running late, I brush my teeth in the shower,
• 11:49
  you know, hit the off in the shower.
• 11:51
  So I can't go there, because that shit's not.
• 11:54
  I mean, this shit's not really a country for me
• 11:57
  that I really want to live in.
• 11:59
  Unfortunately.
• 12:00
  I mean, yeah, I do say, oh, I go to Canada to live.
• 12:03
  I've said it.
• 12:05
  But they're like all the other old people that live in now.
• 12:08
  Child, I've been here for so long now.
• 12:11
  Just keep on living.
• 12:12
  You know what I'm saying?
• 12:13
  Truth don't last always, and neither does life.
• 12:16
  So don't wait a while.
• 12:22
  I mean, I'm just keeping it real.
• 12:26
  Y'all be trying to make it sound.
• 12:27
  Because what we going to do?
• 12:28
  What we going to do?
• 12:29
  Are we going to fight Russia and China?
• 12:31
  And then what is Russia and China really mad about?
• 12:34
  It's because y'all pick those poor people in government.
• 12:40
  Y'all, these decisions were made by the people
• 12:43
  that y'all elected in office.
• 12:45
  And it kind of does go over that Democrat-Republic thing.
• 12:51
  I know at one point, I made it seem like I
• 12:53
  was geared towards Democrats.
• 12:56
  But Democrats do a lot of messed up things.
• 12:59
  And so does Republicans.
• 13:00
  So I'm not going to give you an answer on who
• 13:02
  I vote for on that aspect.
• 13:05
  But it's just because of the people
• 13:07
  that y'all have in office now.
• 13:08
  And I'm not talking about Biden, because Biden
• 13:10
  doesn't make no decisions.
• 13:11
  Hell, Biden doesn't know what day of the week it is.
• 13:13
  And I voted for Biden.
• 13:15
  So don't come for me on that aspect.
• 13:16
  But the man doesn't know what day of the week it is.
• 13:18
  I don't even know if he knows if he's going to be president
• 13:20
  or not.
• 13:21
  That's what I'm saying.
• 13:22
  And while we're on it, can we stop voting for people that
• 13:31
  makes decisions affecting the rest of people's lives
• 13:36
  and they don't even know if they're going to live
• 13:38
  to next week?
• 13:39
  Because you got Mitch McConnell's old ass freezing up
• 13:42
  in the middle of a speech.
• 13:43
  You got Joe Biden, who don't know what day of the week
• 13:46
  it is.
• 13:47
  You got one lady that works in whoever she was.
• 13:52
  She was 90 years old.
• 13:54
  And she's 90 years old.
• 13:56
  She either works in the Senate or the House of Representatives.
• 13:59
  She works somewhere.
• 14:01
  She makes decisions on your life when her family
• 14:06
  makes decisions on her life.
• 14:08
  She don't even make decisions on her own life
• 14:10
  at fucking 90 years old, because she's 90 years old.
• 14:13
  She's in a wheelchair.
• 14:14
  So we need to put some age limits.
• 14:16
  Why are we letting a 90-year-old motherfucker
• 14:18
  make decisions on our life?
• 14:19
  She is going to be watching an unaired episode of Golden Girls.
• 14:22
  I promise you.
• 14:23
  As a nation, I'm going to tell you what our problem is.
• 14:26
  Our problem is we don't really, we don't Boston Tea Party enough.
• 14:31
  And I'm not talking about grabbing a folding chair,
• 14:34
  beating up some white people, which I'm so glad for Montgomery.
• 14:37
  They did the damn thing on that one.
• 14:39
  But yeah, because it's a new motherfucking day around here.
• 14:44
  You talk that shit.
• 14:45
  It's a new dawn.
• 14:50
  It's a new day.
• 14:51
  You got what you deserve.
• 14:53
  You got what you deserve.
• 14:55
  And we're going to do it again and again and again
• 14:58
  until you learn to leave us alone.
• 15:00
  Mind your unseasoned business.
• 15:02
  Mind your unseasoned business.
• 15:05
  But we don't Boston Tea Party enough.
• 15:09
  Meaning when there's an issue,
• 15:12
  we don't all collectively be like, hey, there's a problem.
• 15:17
  And here's what we're going to do about it.
• 15:19
  And actually stick to what we're going to do.
• 15:21
  Oh, y'all want to keep taxing tea?
• 15:23
  We're going to show you what happens when you keep taxing tea.
• 15:26
  We don't do that.
• 15:29
  You might have one person here, one person there,
• 15:32
  but together we're not all on the same page because we're too busy
• 15:36
  not liking the next person because the color of their skin.
• 15:39
  We got to do better.
• 15:41
  And we got to, if we want to make this nation be that,
• 15:44
  the nation where you want to live,
• 15:46
  we've got to actually come together and get over not liking someone
• 15:49
  because the color of their skin,
• 15:51
  at least until we get the stuff on paper to look decent.
• 15:55
  And then it can go back to a free for all.
• 15:57
  I mean, I'm just saying, because I mean,
• 15:59
  I feel like that's how America want to be.
• 16:01
  America want to be vanilla.
• 16:02
  America is on this side.
• 16:04
  Chocolate America is on that side and everybody else in between going
• 16:07
  metal. So that's how y'all want to be. Okay.
• 16:10
  Well, can we at least have it on paperwork where everybody's on the up and up?
• 16:15
  We're voting for people that honestly rather spend money on wars.
• 16:22
  We agree on it. We want our college debt to be relieved.
• 16:26
  That's the only thing we agree on.
• 16:28
  And the money that they spend on all these wars,
• 16:31
  we have enough to cover the college debt in America.
• 16:35
  We have the money to cover that.

  We have enough money to fix homeless populations.
• 16:41
  I mean, think about it.
• 16:44
  Just think about it.
• 16:46
  When we was in a pandemic,
• 16:49
  Trump issued y'all all those checks.
• 16:52
  That money had to come from somewhere.
• 16:54
  Granted, we might be paying. We may or may not be.
• 16:56
  Y'all may or may not be paying it back.
• 16:58
  However, the money was still dispersed at crazy amounts.
• 17:05
  Some people that was already rich was getting millions and millions at a time.
• 17:10
  Some people was getting hundreds of thousands of dollars at a time.
• 17:13
  Some people was getting thousands. So the money was there.
• 17:15
  We have the money.
• 17:17
  It's what the people that we elect choose to do with the money.
• 17:21
  It all goes back until also people not,
• 17:26
  y'all didn't pay attention in history class,
• 17:29
  especially that American government.
• 17:32
  I didn't pay attention to that class.
• 17:34
  That class, a lot of y'all got that little seat that y'all needed to pass.
• 17:38
  And y'all was copying the little answers off the back of the textbook just to get through.
• 17:42
  And y'all was quiz letting.
• 17:44
  But now we're actually living in those pages of those history.
• 17:48
  And so now y'all don't know what to do.
• 17:50
  And y'all don't know the importance of those election every two years.
• 17:53
  Y'all don't actually thoroughly look up the people that y'all vote for.
• 17:58
  Y'all just see a face and name and go by the age or and keep it running.
• 18:04
  But y'all need to actually look up these people,
• 18:06
  political careers and see what have they done,
• 18:09
  what they didn't do.
• 18:11
  And then maybe we'll be in a better shape.
• 18:14
  We also need to stop letting these dynasties run our country
• 18:20
  because their only best interest is the interest of their pockets and their beliefs.
• 18:25
  And that ends the day in economy, in economics, in history.
• 18:31
  That was that segment.
• 18:33
  A lot has happened.
• 18:35
  Like I said, we're going to keep our ears to the street.
