Hey, what is going on? Shout out to all you guys! Hope you guys have a happy Tuesday.
Um, thanks to Dank and Miss Ray for moderating and being in the house early.
Of course, if you guys haven't subscribed to the channel, be sure to subscribe, turn on your notifications, and don't forget to like the video. Don't forget to like the live, especially if you enjoy what you hear, but especially if you don't enjoy what you hear.
I had a bunch of housekeeping things I wanted to discuss with you.
Oh, shout out to the woke white Boomer male 65. Alright, Rex, I see you.
I had some housekeeping things I wanted to discuss with you, but in light of today's news with the Federal freeze on spending, I'm just going to go stream of consciousness first and let you know where I'm at with this, and then I'll circle back around to the housekeeping.
By the way, one piece of housekeeping first. I have teased the idea that I needed a break and that I kind of wanted to go, you know, exhale and recharge my batteries.
So, I was supposed to leave on Sunday, but I forget what was happening on Sunday. Again, this goes back to whoever it was that said I was addicted and can't leave. I was supposed to leave on Sunday, I forget what was happening on Sunday, and I was like, "No, I got to stay."
So, I shot a bunch of stuff, and then Monday I wasn't ready to leave, so I stayed on Monday and shot a bunch of stuff. Then I was like, "Well, I might as well stay until the live on Tuesday and do the live."
So, I'm here doing the live, and then when I finish the live, I'm going to shoot a bunch of stuff.
So, as a result, I have shot so many videos that I will have to put them out because, you know, what good is it for me to put out two-week-old news? I will have to put them out while I am going to take a break, but you won't know it because I'll be putting out content the entire time.
So, just know that, and I appreciate you guys understanding. I might not be as responsive on comments and things like that because I'm taking a break, but I got like a week and a half of videos that I have shot, and I'm only leaving for like a couple of days.
So, there's that.
Okay, bear with me here. I went down a rabbit hole the other day. It was late at night, which is not a good time to go down a rabbit hole, but that's typically when rabbit holes happen, right?
I went down a rabbit hole of the Department of Justice Civil Rights Division suspending its Civil Rights Division. I shot a video about that; it will be out at some point in the next week or so, but it will be out.
It's already been shot. I was very deeply concerned about that and was questioning why it wasn't bigger news, why more people weren't paying attention to this, specifically the people from disenfranchised groups.
Talking about the Black MAGA, talking about the Latinos for Trump, talking about the women for Trump, but the people from disenfranchised groups who put lipstick on this thing and told us that we were exaggerating and that we were lying and mischaracterizing, and all the things that they threw out to obscure the threat that we perceived Donald Trump to be.
The idea of having no recourse for treatment in the criminal justice system is insane.
One of the things that just triggers me so deeply, right? One of the things that triggers me so deeply is that this issue of accountability—police accountability, law enforcement accountability—is partisan. It drives me up a wall.
There are few greater examples of just sheer racism than the fact that the far-right fringe, the same people that will complain about the Deep State, the same people that are always talking about Big Brother and draining the swamp and "Don't Tread on Me," all these people in these rural red areas, okay?
The same people that just got let out for January 6th, the people who want to run up here and sow discord and chaos, right? Those people should be—okay? They are the ones consistently complaining about how they feel attacked and vilified and you name it from the powers that be, but somehow in this instance, they say absolutely nothing.
Now, why is that? Why is that? Because you love to tell me that I'm imagining things and the numbers don't fit and it's not racism, this, that, and the other thing.
Well, tell me how it's not when the same people who always complain about the authorities and how they're infringing on their freedoms are now all of a sudden perfectly fine with the idea of no oversight in law enforcement.
I was deeply concerned about that.
Back up a little bit to some of these raids that we've been seeing, right? Some of these migrant raids.
I've seen raids in New York, I've seen raids in California, I've seen raids in Illinois.
Let me ask y'all a question. Let me ask y'all a question. Who were the ones that were holding up the mass deportation signs? Who were the ones that were loud and complaining about the need to mass deport immigrants?
California? Huh? Was California wilding? California going hardcore red, whining about the need to pack up immigrants? Was it New York?
The fact that they were so clearly targeting blue jurisdictions—now, why would they do that? Why would they do that, right?
Because it was rural America that was complaining about the immigrants. Now, all of a sudden, they're going into big cities in blue states, and that's where their show of force is applied.
And why would they do that? What would be the justification for something like that, right, if not for the possibility of inflaming that community?
Right, inflaming that community, trying to trigger a response, which now, thanks to your suspension of the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice, you can now respond however you feel, and they have no recourse.
Before I put out—or before I could record the video about the Department of Justice, before I could record that video, I had a completely different video that I was planning to put out about the Lake and Riley Act.
Now, those of you who watch the channel have heard me discuss this issue and why I feel particularly triggered by this issue.
Because you name me how many Black and brown girls have gone missing. You name me how many Indigenous girls and women have gone missing. We don't know any of their names; they barely get justice.
But let it happen at the hands of a migrant, we can politicize it. We will throw her name up, we will shout her name up to the heavens, all the way up to the State of the Union Address, even at the expense of her family that has asked us to stop, and we still won't.
Okay, I don't know if you guys were paying attention. I don't know if you were paying attention to the Lake and Riley Act.
I saw a speech that AOC gave talking about what's in that particular act. You realize that act gives authorities the ability to pack up and deport immigrants for either being arrested or charged for crimes ranging from violent crimes all the way down to shoplifting.
All the way down to shoplifting, which means anybody can accuse someone of shoplifting, and that would be grounds for deportation. That's the latitude they have allowed themselves.
And this is after they have already said that, "Well, we don't want to separate families. We don't want to separate families."
So if there's a mixed family, then we can just deport—we'll just deport the whole family. If there's a mixed-status family, they have given themselves the ability to pack up and deport some, or they are—yeah, because it passed the Lake and Riley Act.
They've given themselves the ability to pack up someone for shoplifting, then they can go and get the whole family because they don't want to separate the family.
And by the way, like a normal human being, right? Like a normal human being, I don't see what happens to a particular group in a vacuum.
Okay? I don't, because why would you? Why would you? That's just a normal way of processing.
Well, if that's how they're going to handle them, I understand how they've dealt with Black people in the past.
This is something that I don't know that didn't get a ton of attention.
Did y'all see—and I'm looking at, matter of fact, I need to do a poll too. I'm going to run a poll up there. Did y'all happen to see Trump make a comment about using paying a small fee to export criminals?
Because of—not immigrants, not immigrants—criminals, repeat offender criminals, right? Paying a country a small fee to house criminals because it's so expensive for us to house them here in America.
Y'all see he floated that out? And I saw that in the news peg, and I'm like, "He really is dipping his toe."
So now we're dipping the toe in the water of just straight-up citizens, okay?
And we heard the right-winger—I don't know if you saw that right-winger who claimed that Black people were not citizens of the—I don't know if you guys happened to have caught that, right?
And I know I have a lot of—I apologize to, first of all, thank you to everybody that has sent gifts. Welcome to everybody that's joined. I will highlight them all individually when I land this plane.
Here's the thing, though.
So I woke up this morning, right? I woke up this morning with the very real thought, idea, and mindset that they have criminalized Blackness.
They have criminalized being Latino. They have criminalized being a woman. They have criminalized—one thing I've alluded to before about criminalizing poverty.
I alluded to that when it came to the case on the New York subway. But here's the thing, right?
Here's the thing. I spoke a couple of lives ago. I talked about how if you have a—let's say, I don't know, I don't know if you guys ever did dirt in your past, in your backsliding days.
I don't know if you ever did dirt in your backsliding days. You had a nice little scheme going on, you know what I mean?
Hey, if they got $10, and I have a way to extract some, you know what I mean? You know every single week they get $10, so I have a way to extract some.
How much you want to take? How much you want to take? Because if you take too much, it's going to be hot, and all of a sudden they're going to know that something is wrong.
You know what I mean? So what you don't want to do is overplay your hand and take too much.
Okay? What you want to do is take as much as you can, right? What you want to do is take as much as you can without raising suspicion.
Okay? When I spoke about it before, I used the idea of a bully.
Right? When a bully starts to get a little bit of pushback, right? That's when you have to be like, "Okay, do I want to double down, or do I want to keep pressing?"
Because if I keep pressing and this resistance grows, that's going to be a problem.
So even though I might have to take a step back now in order to continue to press them later, you know what I mean?
They take a step back now, let everything diffuse, and then I can come back, right?
It's one of the things I have said. I've also talked about this idea of MAGA and the ball really being in their court when it comes to resistance to Trump.
And what I mean by that is it is so clear to those of us who read, those of us off of 4chan, it is very clear to us that Trump is moving to benefit the billionaire class.
They have deluded themselves otherwise, okay?
The speed at which they wake up is when the resistance will reach a critical mass.
When they actually act in their best interest is when the resistance will reach critical mass.
But it behooves the Trump administration; it behooves them to delay this as long as humanly possible.
It is not in their interest at all for them to come to this realization.
That's how we come into today.
Now we have seen a bunch of FFO moments.
Okay? I just posted on Instagram last night a video about a white woman mad that she lost her job because she was hired for DEI, right?
Because everybody thinks Black people—there's been significant FFO moments in the MAGA community.
We have enjoyed them. I've made some videos all about them, right?
That's how we come into today, right? Then we get a federal freeze on spending, which is going to affect seniors, it's going to affect students, affecting SNAP, Meals on Wheels.
Now, the assumption—because that's always the assumption—is that this is us. That's the assumption.
The reality is that what came down today affects everybody, but it significantly affects his people.
So now, got to ask the question, and granted, maybe I'm answering my own question because I have never—how do I explain this one?
One of the things I said when I talked about bully mentality is I don't put a lot past Trump and his people, but I definitely don't think they're done.
Definitely don't think they're done.
But this particular—I went from thinking they are really trying to bait the left, they're trying to bait Black communities, they're definitely trying to bait Latino communities, legal or illegal.
They are absolutely trying to bait these groups to respond so that they have justification to come down with force.
But what you've done now, what you've done now is raise the alarm and trigger your people.
I mean, look, I know that the master offers—that was well done, Gino, well done.
I know that there's this thought and fantasy that Trump and Elon Musk and Doge are going to curb spending.
You just blew near a billion dollars because you decided you just had to send the immigrants back to Colombia on military planes.
I don't remember the stat that was in the video I put out yesterday.
I mean, Biden returned thousands—Biden returned thousands without any of this drama on Spirit, okay?
On Spirit's dollar, Biden returned thousands back to Colombia for $49 total on Spirit, okay?
You got into a tariff-swinging contest with the president of Colombia because you had to use military planes and put them in shackles for show and blew damn near a billion dollars.
So, you know what I mean? Like, we not doing the "we gotta save money" thing, you know what I mean?
You just blew a billion dollars.
Like, bro, you know what? Maybe "sloppy" is the word. Maybe "sloppy"—it's just so—SL, that's sloppy. That's sloppy.
Like, you just did that.
Then, this is what's also confusing, right?
So, you let out what? The 1500 for January 6th, which MAGA will like that. You know what I mean?
MAGA will love that. That's good red meat for MAGA that you let out the 1500 for January 6th.
You think they might want some SNAP people you just let out? You think they might want some?
You think they might want some SNAP? You think they might want some help with child care or some school lunches?
You think they might want some?
I'm trying to figure out what demographic—I'm trying to figure out what demographic you think you let out.
You know, were those Elon Musk and Zuckerberg's friends you just let out?
Huh? Is that—those were the tech guys you just let out?
Is that what you think?
I mean, really, exactly, Miss Ray, exactly. That's the point.
That's the point. You let them out, which was a solid taga.
I'm sure they had a couple, like, you know, an hour of a stay, two hours—how long they got to enjoy it for a week, and they go home and they ain't got no snack.
Like, "Alright, let me get to you guys."
So, anyway, let me finish this. I go to you guys' comments.
Okay, so my thought is this, right? So I'm not—I didn't come into this with—or at least I'm not now—like, "This is falling because of the spending freeze."
Because I came into this with all the stuff he had already done to inflame all the other groups, which I happen to be a member of.
It's just now that it's widening to include his people.
So now I'm looking at this and I'm like, "We—you know what I mean? Like, what you going to do, Appalachia? Appalachia, what you going to do? Huh? We'll wait on you. Let us know. Call. Hey, text first. Hey, Appalachia."
Uh, yeah, Midwest, Southwest, SEC country.
Yeah, text first. Text first and let us know when you're all ready.
Okay? We'll be here. We'll be here.
Oh, yeah, oh, current—oh, remember I told you, remember I told you that I recorded all them videos, right?
I got a video all about it. I got a video all about how you told us—it was okay—all the things that he said about all the people that he said it about.
It was okay because, dot, dot, dot, the economy. That's what you said. You said the economy.
He backed away from that before the new year, and by the end of January, we got empty fields.
We got empty fields.
Good luck. Good luck. Good luck.
Alright, let me go to you guys' comments here.
Welcome, welcome, Carla. Welcome, welcome, welcome.
Rex says, "Boomer, thanks for the shout out. My pres weed store down the road here in New Jersey knows me by name."
I don't doubt it, Rex. I've seen your name before, man. I appreciate you being a supporter.
Thank you, Motown. "Me, me, I got 500 for Reese's RNR."
Thank you, thank you, Motown. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Karen, welcome, welcome, Karen.
Welcome, oh, Queen. Queen's mother put $10 on my RNR.
I might have to make a video on how I spend my RNR money.
Yeah, Motown, me, me, I appreciate that. I appreciate that.
Thank you, Sharon. Thank you, excuse me, thank you very much.
And if you're one of the recipients of Sharon's gift, definitely send her a thank you, please. It's amazing.
I'm Meg. Completely forgot about the would-be S even existed, but L killing.
Yep, I mean, I make that point.
I have another video. I like how all of these just blend into content that I have not put out yet.
Okay, you guys like this because y'all been emailing me. Y'all have been emailing me about the Cardier family for months.
You have been emailing me every time I did a video on Candace Owens or on Rob Smith.
Y'all like, "Hey, you going to let them live? You really going to let—"
Y'all been emailing me about them for months.
Here's the problem: I have to watch it, you know what I mean? I have to watch it in order to feel a way to respond, and I don't want to, you know what I mean?
But anyway, anyway, they finally said the thing. They finally said the thing where I was like, "Oh, I can't allow that."
So there is a Cardier family video coming up. Be on the lookout for that.
Dropping bees on Jasmine Crockett.
Yeah, it was nasty work. It's nasty work. Nasty work, Dr.
Yeah, it was nasty work. I was like, "Okay, we're going to respond to that."
You reminded me of that, Jar Jar, because of what you just mentioned about the Lake and Riley situation.
Because the premise of what they were discussing is DEI and how they were blaming DEI for, you know, what happened in LA and the fire department and their mismanagement of the fire and whatnot.
And I'm like, I feel like I've spoken about this so much, but one of the things that I forget to mention, which I should lead with probably, is why is it that when an agency or a manager or an owner, CEO, worker, whatever—when it's all white, they just get to be incompetent?
Right? When it's all white, they just get to be incompetent.
But if there's a Black person you can blame, then that's DEI.
Yeah, so then it becomes an indictment of all of us.
If it's a Black person, or in this case, if it's a woman or if it's LGBT, because with the LA fire department, they were mostly talking about them being women.
So I'm like, so if it's a woman, then, "Oh, she should—see, that's what happens. That's what happens."
You know what I mean? DEI, you know what I mean? You got women that—but if it's a white guy, oh, he just—he don't know.
He just gets to be incompetent, right?
He just—nobody's like, "Well, you know, maybe we need some women or some Black people because that white guy just completely inflamed the situation."
He was so incompetent.
I think maybe we might need to infuse some diversity into that conversation.
Never happens. That conversation never happens.
But if it's a Black person—see, but they told me it was supposed to be a meritocracy.
They told me—they told us about even playing ground, right? Even, even playing ground.
Even playing ground.
Yeah, right. But if a woman or a gay person has ever messed up, they can't come back.
But y'all can.
Okay, got you.
MH, yep, the GO wants to trip American kids of their citizenship, rendering them stateless.
Lucy, thank you. Thank you very much, Lucy.
Thank you. That plan was to cause panic and chaos. So far, it's working.
Breathe, focus, do what you can do, rely on allies, keep communities like this. Do not remain silent.
Thanks, yeah, I think the panic and chaos plan looks thorough right now.
I'm scared that the Trump administration will reinterpret the 22nd Amendment, the one that prohibits the president from serving more than two terms.
You know, I just had a conversation about this last night, Oscar.
I don't—I won't put it past that they will try.
I won't put it past that they will try.
The thing that makes me less afraid of that is his age.
That's the thing that makes me less afraid of that.
I don't know if Trump will be functional in five years.
I don't know if he'll be functional, you know what I mean?
That's what makes me feel decent about the prospect, right?
I would also say, though, that—and I saw somebody had alluded to Roland's live, and you guys have been sending me stuff about election stuff.
I'm not feeling all that secure and comfortable in our election situation right now.
I mean, I put that video out about the thoughts that I still had coming out of 2024, but if I haven't heard anything from the Democrats yet, I ain't seen nothing about a recount.
I haven't seen them even acknowledge any of this stuff.
So whatever it was that—I won't say whatever it was—the litany of things that they engaged in in 2024, I have no reason to think they won't engage in that in '26 and '28.
I've heard nothing about it.
The instructor, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. Much appreciated.
If you were a recipient of the instructor's gifts, send him a thank you, won't you please?
TP, shout out to you. I did get that video that you sent me.
Was that a PTA meeting where they told the DEI to go back to Mexico? You need to leave?
I did enjoy that.
I had seen that before, actually. I had seen that before.
Alice, thank you. Thank you so much.
Thank you, Alice. Thank you, RNR appreciation.
Thank you, Melissa. I appreciate that.
Thank you, thank you, D. Welcome, welcome, D.
Welcome, welcome. D is a new word for N.
Yeah, yeah, but you know what? We're finding out together. What America is all finding out together is just how blended that DEI family is.
You know, you got a couple of Black people, you got a couple of Latinos, you got an Indigenous person, you have a whole gang of white women, you have some disabled veterans.
You know what I mean? It's a blended, very blended family.
Even though this is the face of DEI, this is the face of DEI, but behind me is a whole bunch of random people from different places that are affected by this whole anti-DEI fervor.
Miss Piss, yeah, I feel you there. I definitely feel you there.
Kathy Wilson, thank you. Thank you, Kathy.
Thank you, Judith. Thank you so much. I appreciate you, Judith.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
By the way, again, as I said, if you're a recipient of one of Judith's memberships, send her a thank you, won't you please?
Send her a shout out.
Happy Tuesday!
I want the state of things makes me really nervous, especially since I'm a journalism student, and I don't know if I want to report on politics anymore.
But yeah, I mean, unfortunately, that is what happens.
That is what happens when, you know, I think that's one of the reasons why the attacks on the media by regimes that carry themselves like this have that kind of effect.
People don't want to cover it, and that's one less person that would be calling them out.
They advance to take Trump's place.
Mike, you think they voting for JD Vance now?
Can be. I could be wrong.
I have seen—I have seen in my lifetime Bush senior win a presidential election, who up until JD Vance was the most charisma-less person that has ever occupied the White House, president or vice president, until JD Vance walked in.
Bush senior had the mantle of the person—I mean, if there was a—you know how boring you got to be?
If I walked—if I would have seen Bush senior at a cocktail party, I would have had to give him five minutes, you know what I mean?
Just because you are talking to the president, but no more than that.
"Hey, hey, hey, bro, I got to—I got a phone call. I got a phone—I got a phone call. I got—yeah, I got—there you go."
I never forget Michael Dukakis for losing that—losing.
How you lose to somebody? The minute Bush senior came out, we were like, "We got to listen to this for four years."
This is really—I mean, look, one thing I will get—I know how I feel about Donald Trump.
You know how I feel about Donald Trump, but he is a personality.
There's a cult of personality.
You think that cult of personality GNA surrounds JD Vance?
Because it's clearly not substance, right?
It's clearly not substance.
You need the strength of personality to obscure the lack of substance.
I think JD does that.
Kenita, I'm glad you asked that. I am working on that right now.
I am working on that right now in order to be able to respond to my emails more quickly and more efficiently.
That was actually one of the housekeeping things that I wanted to mention, but I appreciate you.
I appreciate you asking that.
Welcome, Tracy. Welcome, welcome, welcome.
CRA also helps W.
Yeah, thank you, Robin. I appreciate that.
Robbie, hi. Will you do a HRA Y video on Tiffany Henyard?
I almost did it, actually. I almost did one.
This was back in December. Maybe it was November.
I almost did one a month or two ago, but it's hard to—like, maybe I got to get Regina on that.
Shout out to Regina for helping with research.
It's hard to—like, you know, I feel like I'm coming into that book on the 16th chapter.
So much has happened that you would have to recap.
Like, I feel like I would have to do a "Who is Tiffany Henyard?" video before I could even talk about anything that's going on now, you know?
Just like a—but yeah, you're not wrong.
As social ter, thank you. Much appreciated.
Much appreciated. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Oh man, alright, so let's see where we're at right now.
Okay, so those of you who are—you know what's funny?
I'm looking at the notes that I took last night for today's live, and I put "criminalizing poverty" on here before today's news.
Last night, last night, pre-suspension of SNAP benefits and all that, I put "criminalization of poverty."
Okay, oh my gosh.
Alright, let me go—let me do a poll because I like—I think polls are good.
I think of what I want to ask you guys.
Y'all got a good question? I need to start doing polls.
I like to have a good poll during the live, but I couldn't think of anything.
Just a second ago, Lee said Tucker Carlson's son is Vance's Deputy Press Secretary.
Oh my gosh.
J6 was deleted by—yeah, yep.
So, Lee, that last part, I talked about earlier in the live because I didn't miss that he said that as far as the J6 being deleted.
I did see that.
I may hit that before I leave. I'm not entirely sure.
As far as the first thing that you said, Tucker Carlson's son being Vance's Deputy Press Secretary, it is like we are so far beyond conflicts of interest.
You have a member of the media—at least he's not at Fox News anymore because that would have been worse.
But when you have a member of the media covering an administration, and I didn't know what said, but I'm not at all shocked by what you said.
And I'm especially not shocked that that's not even problematic—that I didn't even know it.
You know what I mean?
We're so far down the road, I didn't even know.
But you know what? But you know what, Lee?
I am sure that JD Vance and his team had no idea that that was Tucker Carlson, you know what I mean?
I'm sure they found that out like after he was hired, you know what I mean?
They didn't know.
They didn't know Tucker came to pick him up one day.
Tucker came to pick him up one day, and that's how they found out, you know what I mean?
But because it was a meritocracy, it was no preferential treatment at all, you know what I mean?
He pulled himself up by his bootstraps, and he applied, and they didn't even matter.
In fact, his last name—he changed his last name.
He didn't even want to use Carlson.
He didn't even give them the idea that it was Tucker Carlson, you know what I mean?
So he—you know, he just—he put—yes, yes, yes.
And you know, and you know, A Jones, I think this experience—more people are committed to having more diverse workforces that are inclusive than there are people who are not.
Shout out to Elf Beauty.
Hey, shout out to Elf Beauty.
Shout out to Elf Beauty Company standing firm on DEI.
Costco, Apple, and JP Morgan Chase.
I really wish—and I see that Al Sharpton did the buy-in at Costco.
I saw that.
I really wish we moved to empower and incentivize the people who are standing up for us in these spaces at times like this, you know what I mean?
I'm like, when you have somebody that is there for you when times are like—you know, I mean, not the people after you got the thing, but the people that were standing for you when it looked like you weren't going to get the thing or when you would have given up pursuing the thing.
We always have a lot more appreciation for those people.
This ain't 2020, okay?
This ain't George Floyd and them, alright?
Or in the aftermath of George Floyd.
This is with a Trump administration trying to criminalize DEI, okay?
The people that are standing up right now—that's what I'm looking at.
People that are standing up right now, I just wish that—and you know, maybe I will be pleasantly surprised.
I just wish we moved to incentivize the people that respect us.
That's all.
That's all.
Jim M, I think he's coming to YouTube.
I'll be honest, I don't have a lot of thoughts on Jim Acosta.
Not really.
I mean, I appreciate him checking Trump back in the day.
I don't know what bearing that might have had on things, but I didn't like—I wasn't checking for his show.
Maybe it's because it's in the morning because I said the same thing about Morning Joe.
I don't really—I don't—I'll tell you what I watch.
Hold up, hold up.
I'll tell you what I watch when we do the night lives, which that was one of the things I want to talk about.
Let's see, hold on.
I'm going through CNN's thing.
Jake Tapper—Jake Tapper is okay.
I like—I mostly like Jake Tapper.
I can't say I love him.
Wolf is okay.
Aaron is okay.
Anderson is okay.
Abby—y'all, Abby, she don't be checking people the way she should.
She don't.
She don't be checking people the way she should.
That's Jerry Springer Show.
That's political Jerry Springer Show.
And I guess I do appreciate the drama.
It's not so much Abby is that her producer—whoever produced that show, they do a solid job.
Laura Coates is great.
I enjoy Laura Coates.
Honestly, Caitlyn Collins—I have never felt this way about anybody in my life as I do Caitlyn Collins.
And I'll tell you why.
Because I was very upset at how she got her show.
I didn't feel like she had deserved that show, and I felt like it was a war of attrition there with all the people that they lost with Cuomo and Don and everybody.
I didn't like how she came up through the ranks.
To me, it wasn't deserved how she got her show.
She be killing them, dog.
I ain't gonna lie.
I ain't gonna lie.
Hey, she be standing on business.
I don't care what y'all say.
I don't care what y'all say.
I will stand in the gap for Caitlyn Collins.
I will.
I will stand in the gap for Caitlyn Collins.
Y'all know that.
No Caitlyn Collins slander will be tolerated on my channel.
And yes, I know exactly—yeah, I know, "Ye cable for the white girl" and all that.
That's fine.
That's fine.
I told you I didn't feel like she deserved her spot.
I told you I feel like she didn't deserve her spot.
I begrudgingly looked at it.
I said she standing on business.
She be checking these people way more than anybody else on that channel.
Let me ask you this.
Let me ask you this.
If you had James Comer on CNN up here lying about the January 6th defendants being released, or you had Nancy Mace up here lying about her record or what happened with Jasmine Crockett, whatever the case may be—just think of random right-winger up here with their misinformation—who would you most want from CNN?
Who would you most want opposite them to press?
Tell me, I'm live.
Maybe Laura Coates.
Maybe Laura Coates.
Maybe Laura Coates.
I'll give you Laura Coates.
Other than Laura Coates, who would you most want opposite to press somebody with the misinformation?
That's just a fact.
That's just a fact.
Caitlyn be killing.
I ain't gonna lie.
I stand in the gap for Caitlyn Collins.
Now, where's MSNBC at?
Okay, Katie Tur, Ari is pretty good.
Love Joy Reid.
Love Chris Hayes.
I watched Rachel Maddow in a minute.
She's really good, but I just—I get distracted.
Lawrence O'Donnell is always good when I watch him.
I don't watch him a lot, but he's always good.
I would say Joy Reid and Chris Hayes—I really like Joy Reid and Chris Hayes a lot.
Ali Velshi—Morning Joe, I don't watch.
Ana Cabrera is okay.
Jose is okay.
Andrea Mitchell, I cannot.
Yeah, I can't do that.
Katie Tur is the worst.
That's a whole other thing.
That's a whole other thing.
Yeah, I use Joy a lot.
I use Joy Reid a lot.
I realized that who I use in my videos doesn't necessarily reflect what I watch because I use Joy a lot.
I don't use Chris Hayes that much, but I like him a lot.
And I never—I don't think I've ever used Caitlyn Collins.
I use Laura—I use Abby Phillip a ton.
That's a perfect example.
I use Abby Phillip a ton because her show—that's Jerry Springer over there.
That's Jerry Springer.
And just like Jerry—just like Jerry, he'd be mixing it up.
And then just—this is exactly how we would have felt about Jerry Springer if he was talking about anything substantive.
I like Nicole Wallace.
Yeah, T, put Nicole Wallace.
I like her.
Yeah, she's cool.
Alright, I like how I got to 3:04.
Remember I said I had some housekeeping stuff, but let me just go stream of consciousness.
What time is it?
It's 3:04.
It's 3:04.
Alright, here's what I got for you.
Those members know because I posted a members video last night at like two in the morning.
I have made two calls, two decisions, I think, that I want to pursue moving forward.
Number one, I want to push the lives tonight.
I did a members poll, and overwhelmingly you guys said that you wanted—you prefer the night lives.
And when we've done night lives in the past—hey, it's a club of two, Freemie.
It's a club of two.
It's you and little L.
Now, is you and little Lou now?
That would be a good comment.
That would be a good poll to do on the members channel.
Who will get a membership first, Freemie or little Lou?
H, that's funny.
Crap, I never did a poll.
I said I was going to do a poll.
I never did it.
So I'm going to move the—matter of fact, here's the poll.
Here's a poll I got.
I got your poll.
I want to see who—okay, start a poll.
Here we go.
Best Host.
Let's see who's going to be nominated for Best Host.
I'm going to put Joy Reid on here.
I got to put—I'm going to put Abby on here.
I'm going to put Caitlyn on here.
Who else is going to be nominated?
I got three women, so I might as well go with another woman.
Oh, Rachel Maddow.
Yeah, Rachel Maddow.
Alright, there you go.
You got your poll.
So, one of the things you guys have suggested to me is to do some collaborations, right?
Do some interviews, talk to some people.
It's one of the things I used to do on the other channel all the time, on the Way Waters channel, which I need to get back to that as well.
And I think I will.
I'm going to figure that out.
I'm going to reach out to some people.
I think the thing that I need to figure out in advance of that is exactly what that looks like, you know?
Exactly what I want to speak to people about, you know?
Exactly what you guys would be interested in seeing, whether it's me talking to other people in this political space about politics, whether it's me talking to other people in this political space about other things, you know?
And trying to bring them out of that space, or whether it's me talking to other comedians about politics, or me talking to—you know what I mean?
Me talking to political people about sports.
You guys got to let me know what you guys would be interested in seeing.
So, I think that it's definitely time for me to start to connect with some other folks.
I made the comment on a live semi-recently that I don't play well with others.
That's why I went into stand-up.
Y'all thought that was a joke.
Y'all thought that was a joke.
Well, see, this is where the Way Waters channel comes in, right?
This is where the Way Waters channel comes in because I'm trying to show growth as a person.
I'm trying to show growth as a human being, and so I'm trying—you know, I'm going to lean into this space that I feel unprepared and unchosen for, but you know, I'm going to try it.
I'll try it.
Let's see, Mary Trump, Media Seneca Project, Brian Tyler Cohen, the Bituation Room.
I actually watched the—I watched something from the Bituation Room.
That’s long, goes pretty good.
Yeah, so you're taller now.
That's funny.
Oh yeah, I would love to get her in.
If y'all don't—Franchesca Ramsey is the woman who sings, "Leopards, I never thought the leopards would eat my face."
I watch her stuff on social all the time, so yeah, I would love to get her in.
Talk to her, but again, she's not like an overtly political person, so that's it.
You know, y'all just want me to talk to people, or you want me to talk to political people?
And what do you want me to talk to political people about?
Politics?
You want me to talk to random people about politics?
You want me to talk to political people about non-politics?
What y'all want?
What you want?
What you want?
Then you said, "Obviously Roland and Lemons BR, Candace, you're witty enough to shut her down."
Well, see, that would be—I would struggle with that because I don't like to platform that kind of—although I guess I kind of do because I make videos about it, so I guess you can make that argument.
You can make that argument.
Yeah, the Danielle Moody show.
Well, KF, I don't think I've heard of that.
Brian Tyler Cohen trying to build a progressive media.
Yeah, Danielle Moody is great too.
I'll try—I don't think I know Danielle Moody.
Alright, I can't stop by.
It's not again.
Oh, thank you, Wise.
I appreciate that.
I appreciate that.
I've been talking to others with different subjects, but I think keeping abreast of these changes Trump is doing can't be caught slipping.
Mix it up, Reese, Water style.
Okay, MVP Harris, Jasmine Crockett.
Jasmine Crockett actually does a lot of media now.
See, here's an interesting thing.
This is a weird quirk that I have.
This is out of left field.
Tennessee Brando?
Yeah, I think Tennessee Brando would be great.
Cace Owens does a lot of media.
I think she could be reached out to.
Tariq Nasheed?
Here's the thing, though.
I'm always a little bit resistant to—I see another Jasmine Crockett.
I'm always a little bit resistant to—I know it feels like my channel is such a vehicle for Jasmine Crockett, and that's fair.
That is fair.
I am a fan of Jasmine Crockett.
I think once you bring them on, then it kind of—I feel like there's a level of independence that gets lost when you bring them on.
And I know that's not the case.
Like, obviously, you know, they get interviewed by people, and that doesn't stamp the entire network.
So that is a contradiction of what I'm saying.
I'm just telling you how it feels because I feel like if I were to ask whoever, you name a Democrat to come on my platform, obviously my politics mostly align with them.
So I feel like I would have a vested interest in promoting whatever they're talking about, but also I would feel a little indebted to them coming on the platform to promote whatever it is they're talking about.
And I feel like that kind of doesn't feel great, you know what I'm saying?
We got Amanda Seales.
Okay, we got Britney Page.
I don't know.
I don't think I know Britney Page, so I got to remember Britney Page and Danielle Moody.
I got to remember that.
Oh, for sure, for sure.
Rashad Keshaw?
I don't know Rashad.
CAW?
Alright, I got to get Miss Ray to take some of these down.
David Feldman?
Check out Lori Daniels Favors.
Okay, the Chop Up Show with Damo, the Political Plug, and Toya Green.
I like Damo, the Political Plug.
They got Taba that talks politics.
You got Cat Williams?
You think Cat might be good?
You think Cat might be good?
You think Karen Hunter?
Klay Kane?
Klay Kane is good.
We got another Amanda Seales.
We got another Tennessee Brando.
We got another Danielle Moody.
That's what—well, no, I couldn't see.
That's the thing.
I couldn't do a poll for because I can't limit it to four.
Professor Griff?
Okay, alright.
I appreciate these are really good suggestions.
Simply Shy?
Alright, thank you, Simply Shy.
I appreciate you.
These are really good suggestions.
Thank you all so much for this.
Chip Franklin from Really American YouTube channel is one of my favorites.
Okay, shocked.
I'm shocked nobody has said Pacman.
I'm shocked nobody has said Pacman.
I enjoy Pacman, but this is all really good.
Godfrey?
I actually know Godfrey back in our stand-up days.
The Humanist Report?
Okay, Britney Page is Jesse Dore's wife.
You know what's funny?
When I first read that, I was like, "What?"
But then I was like, "I don't know who Britney Page is," so I just said, "I don't know who."
But you read that, you'd be like, "What? Let me find out."
Okay, we got Taba that speaks.
We got another Jesse Dore.
East to West with Coach D?
Another Britney Page?
DL Hughley?
Okay, thank y'all.
I appreciate that.
This is really helpful.
Y'all put me on to a lot of stuff.
I think I have a lot consciously.
Yeah, consciously is good.
I do like consciously.
Wow, I just realized it was like consciously, like the word consciously.
I literally just put that together.
It's that time of day.
Alright, was there anything else?
Alright, we moving to lives tonight.
I'm coming out with my—I'm going to figure out a way to have conversations.
There'll be some member lives.
Now that I know how to do a member live, y'all done messed up.
Y'all done messed up.
Y'all done messed up.
You taught me how to do a live anytime I want, and it don't even got to go to everybody.
Oh, it's—I know I do member lives only.
It popping.
Then, I know a lot of you guys had merch ideas.
And by the way, thanks to everybody that's gotten the merch and sent the photos. Much appreciated.
I know a lot of you guys have merch ideas.
I actually have someone now who's going to help mock up ideas for merch.
Shout out to my wife.
She has actually designed all the merch up till now, her and Kit and the Misf Toys.
So, shout out to Kit, wherever he is.
It's been a while since I've seen my man, but we have like an artist now that can help mock up merch.
So if you have merch ideas, I know a lot of you guys have sent them already, and I'm doing a better job to go through the email, figuring that out with Miss Ray currently as we speak.
So if you guys sent me an email, you should be receiving a response more quickly than you have been.
And if you have merch ideas specifically, I will absolutely check that out.
So be on the lookout for that.
And yeah, I got a rack of videos.
I got a rack of videos on the horizon, like a lot.
Like, I only want to tell you it's embarrassing.
It's embarrassing.
It really—it's not—I overdid it.
I overdid it.
This is what I did.
But I will be taking a leave, but content will be coming out, so you're not going to miss anything.
I might—you know, so anyway, just be on the lookout for that.
Also, when I come back, okay?
When I come back, I will be taking an interest in the Way of Waters channel.
You know, that's kind of the idea behind me leaving is just to refresh myself personally and give myself a break, but also to reinvigorate my head for that channel because I want to do that.
So be on the lookout for the Way of Waters channel as well.
Excellent timing, Miss Ray.
So you guys haven't subscribed to that, I would love for you to do so, so check that out.
And do you have an official name for your subs?
No, that's a good idea.
You know what? I'm going to put that—Miss Social, I'm going to put that as a point to bring up when we come back live.
Because I think we should.
There's so many different names for stuff.
There's so many different takes on Waters.
I be spamming—I be spamming the members with all what I got.
Water hole, the watering hole.
The water hole, right?
Because it's like the source of content.
Water and hole.
So when I find a video I like, that's the water and hole because that's like the genesis of growing a larger piece.
That's why I call it the water and hole.
What else I got over there?
What's the one?
The blue ones?
I like how I don't like hot waters.
Yeah, you got hot waters.
Yeah, that's just me ranting about something.
Yeah, they get a lot of that.
They get a whole lot of that.
Thank you so much, J Noble.
Much appreciated.
Much appreciated.
Thank you.
Alright, you guys have been phenomenal.
Thank you guys so much for rocking with me here on the channel.

It's just like a members-only video.

So be on the lookout for the link for the premiere for tonight.
We'll be on the lookout for that.
And make sure you guys take care of yourselves and each other, as Jerry Springer used to say.
And now Abby Phillip.
And thanks to Miss Dank.
Thanks to Dank and Miss Ray for moderating, doing a fantastic job. Much appreciated.
