called it, his man card. But let's talk about your man card for a second 'cause back in 2015, Terrence Howard admits hitting ex-wife. 31 00:06:17.790 --> 00:06:29.376 "I almost lost my mind and slapped her in front of the kids." I could hear him kinda saying it like thatShe, I almost lost my mind and slapped him in front of the kids. As I'm reading it, and not to mention... 32 00:06:29.496 --> 00:06:41.896 Wait, wait, wait. 'Cause not only did he say that, but then I came across another article, "Marvel actor claims he's been forced out of Hollywood after suing Disney." 33 00:06:42.066 --> 00:06:50.996 'Cause you listen, I know Disney's like them Zionists. Actually, I think Disney, we gonna double ch- I think Disney's on the BDS list and, you know, all the things, so. 34 00:06:51.576 --> 00:07:03.956 But Disney don't play, so you sue Disney, they gonna try to end your career. It's like the Zionists do. They, you do anything against the Zionists, they're gonna try to end your life supply. That's what they do. 35 00:07:04.036 --> 00:07:13.236 Zionists end life supplies and colonize. That's what they do, in case we weren't clear on this broadcast. I was reading this, and then scroll down. 36 00:07:13.516 --> 00:07:25.396 I'm not gonna unmute it, but all I'm saying is, with him wearing that pimp wig, I believe the allegations, and he's saying it out his own mouth, like Melvin Moore said. He said out his own mouth. 37 00:07:25.636 --> 00:07:37.216 But you know what I was doing was collecting the receipts because I'm thinking about that man card, because a lot of people are okay with abuse being a part of that man card. 38 00:07:37.256 --> 00:07:52.356 That makes, it makes their man card valid if they're abusive. They don't got nothing wrong with, you know, the abuse allegations. But doing a gay scene in a movie, uh, jeopardizes your man card? I don't know, girls. 39 00:07:52.776 --> 00:08:02.416 What say you? What say the girls? But post Empire, where the phone's ringing for Terrence Howard. That's what... Yes. That... Listen, that's, that was a thing. 40 00:08:02.636 --> 00:08:10.296 'Cause after Empire, like, I was expecting to see him in a lot of stuff. Like, I, I thought he was so great. I'ma tell you, I thought he was so great. 41 00:08:10.636 --> 00:08:20.896 I was in a meeting, because I'm currently have been working on a film for a couple years now, and we are now, right now, actually about to go to the next step with things. 42 00:08:21.076 --> 00:08:30.636 But when I was talking to the team and I was like, "You know who I would love to be in the movie is Terrence Howard. You know, I would love him to be a part of the, my t- you know, thing in the movie." 43 00:08:30.976 --> 00:08:33.796 And, uh, you know, people, yeah, we were very o- open to that. 44 00:08:33.886 --> 00:08:46.476 And then I started seeing all this stuff and, you know, saw Feminista Jones post saying that he's known as an abuser, and it's a group of them light-skinned Avengers in Hollywood that is abusers. Abusers. 45 00:08:46.516 --> 00:08:59.065 Avengers, you get it? Marvel, blah, blah. But like, he can go around talking about one by one the square root of infinity, but he can't kiss a dude. Right. And then recently... So we, we gotta dive into the layers. 46 00:08:59.236 --> 00:09:09.336 Okay, so now I'm about to get a little controversial on this. "Wilson Cruz unleashes on Terrence Howard." I know that Queerty also had Terrence Howard rejected lead... 47 00:09:09.536 --> 00:09:22.655 Oh, uh, uh, oh, uh, Pride, "Wilson Cruz slams Terrence Howard for refusing gay roles." "Wilson Cruz blasts Terrence Howard for saying," blah, blah, blah, right? Oh, we gonna get a little messy. 48 00:09:23.076 --> 00:09:40.216 So while Wilson Cruz was doing all that, and Queerty had caught and picked up the story that Wilson Cruz was slamming Terrence Howard, I commented under the Threads post, "Selective outrage." And the table was shooketh. 49 00:09:40.616 --> 00:09:55.916 The table got shooketh at that moment. And I, I l- I do have love for Wilson, but, uh, right now, we on, we, it's, we on, I... Listen, we on different sides of the situation, and I'ma be very clear about that. 50 00:09:56.046 --> 00:10:10.036 Because the way he was acting during the, uh, election season and caping for Kamala and GLAD and HRC while silencing all of the people who were speaking up on all the things, it wasn't just, you know, a situation. 51 00:10:10.096 --> 00:10:22.216 It's a thing that he, along with so many other celebrities, were being pick mes and being willing to be picked to be a part of the function as long as they didn't talk about Palestine, and that is the real true tea. 52 00:10:22.256 --> 00:10:32.526 So as people started seeing me disappearing from the algorithm and from real-life events, no one was asking question. No one was, "Oh, why is Angelica not hosting this anymore?" 53 00:10:32.736 --> 00:10:41.595 The c- the, the, the excuses they were giving me was, uh, budget cuts and different things, but still Cynthia Erivo and other people are showing up at the function. They have budgets for them. 54 00:10:41.736 --> 00:10:54.036 I'm specifically talking about Hulu and Disney Pride, uh, that I hosted two years in a row on ABC News. I was one of the co-anchors. I don't know if y'all remember that. I slated two years in a row. 55 00:10:54.096 --> 00:11:00.536 I was coming back for the third year. They had talked to my team. Everybody had been briefed. We were going up to me being on the third year. 56 00:11:00.656 --> 00:11:11.316 N- uh, shortly before the event was, you know, or maybe a couple months before, just sh- uh, just a short while before, they let us know that they weren't gonna be able to bring me back due to budgeting concerns. 57 00:11:11.356 --> 00:11:20.856 So my, my, my manager was like, "Okay. Well, what, what is the budget you do have? Because we usually, we try to work with, you know, what have you." They d-

they didn't have a budget anymore for that, for me. 58 00:11:21.316 --> 00:11:39.996 So I'm calling out, just like I did on one of my Instagram, uh, reels before that posted that kinda shook a little table, got the girls a little upset when I was calling out your performative activism, 'cause you wanna speak up whenever somebody has wronged you in the LGBT community, Craig. 59 00:11:40.076 --> 00:11:50.596 Oh yeah. Oh, oh. Oh, she's shaking the table for real tonight. Oh, okay. Is that was really... Okay, so this what I'm going... Okay, so I'm just gonna go there. That's what we doing. We going there. 60 00:11:50.836 --> 00:11:56.256 So people wanna be selective with they outrage. I saw folks was outrage. Outrage. 61 00:11:56.496 --> 00:12:07.676 I saw, uh, Craig going off on Tamar because Tamar was like, "Girl," and you know, I, I know that some gay men, they don't like, you know, when you called girl and being coming into their, um, manhood. 62 00:12:07.736 --> 00:12:16.136 And listen, I understand because a lot of people, uh, think that you can't be masculine and be gay at the same time, that those things are mutually exclusive. 63 00:12:16.316 --> 00:12:29.748 You know, Tamar is thinking that she's, you know, at a, at a gay function and, you know, girl, you know, this and that, and she's saying the things or whatever.And they wanted to use that moment to make an exa- I think, to make an example out of Tamar, and got really heated. 64 00:12:29.848 --> 00:12:42.748 But my thing is, girl, sit your ass down. You the same person talking about how confused you are to use they/them pronouns. Sit down with that performative stuff. 65 00:12:43.088 --> 00:12:53.058 This is exactly what I be talking about when butch queens have typically been the weakest link when it comes to standing with trans people in solidarity. 66 00:12:53.108 --> 00:13:04.348 It's so many examples, I lose count of how many times being an ally is just too hard, too confusing for y'all. I'm not talking about the cis straight people, I'm talking about the Craigs. 67 00:13:04.388 --> 00:13:15.138 I'm talking about the, uh, the LGBTQ people, people who go and, uh, organize trying to remove the T from the LGBT. Yeah, I'm talking about y'all. 68 00:13:15.138 --> 00:13:23.768 I'm talking about y'all who are telling trans women that they have to perform femininity and that they should shave before they end up trying to walk into a women's bathroom. 69 00:13:23.908 --> 00:13:30.148 But ain't nobody telling Barbara that she gotta shave, and Barbara's beard is natural, and Barbara's a cis woman. 70 00:13:30.488 --> 00:13:39.468 But now they are stopping cis women at that bathroom because they're not performing femininity like that, because y'all still gotta, y'all wanna still perf- y'all wanna still play devil's advocate. 71 00:13:39.508 --> 00:13:47.928 Y'all wanna still play in the sand. Y'all wanna still be the cute accessory with the famous, uh, straight girls. You understand what I'm saying? 72 00:13:48.008 --> 00:13:57.168 You wanna be with the Tamars and blah, blah, blah, but when, you wanna get mad when they, when they don't understand the T, and they are like, "Well, girl." And they wanna p- they wanna play. Now they wanna kiki. 73 00:13:57.268 --> 00:14:06.718 They wanna kiki too, just like you wanna kiki about the trans girls. Oops. Oops. Just like y'all wanna kiki about the trans girls, the cis girl, they wanna kiki too. 74 00:14:07.028 --> 00:14:15.228 But the reality of the situation is all of these terminologies, all of this is about relationships. So let's get this down. 75 00:14:15.488 --> 00:14:21.248 If you don't have an intimate relationship with someone, then you need to ask how they wanna be addressed. 76 00:14:21.468 --> 00:14:28.848 And you sh- and if you wanna be a respectful person, then you address them as such, point-blank, period, end of story. It's very, very simple. 77 00:14:28.908 --> 00:14:39.888 So stop it with all this performative activism, 'cause if we're going to call the girls out, then we're gonna call all the girls out, then we're going to get all of us free. 'Cause it's time. I'm ready. 78 00:14:40.148 --> 00:14:51.808 Y'all, are y'all ready? Are we really ready to set us all free? 'Cause I'm with you. I think that folks need to be careful when trying to use that word, girl, as a pejorative term at gay men. I absolutely believe that. 79 00:14:52.148 --> 00:14:58.828 But, girl, I'ma tell you to sit your ass down if you not one of the ones that's like that across the board. 80 00:14:59.038 --> 00:15:08.268 'Cause sometimes y'all girls need to be called girls so you can be reminded that they don't like you just like they don't like me. We part of the same community. Like Jay-Z said, "You still a... 81 00:15:08.618 --> 00:15:23.108 " Well, girl, you still a girl. Girl. Girl. Girl. Oh, somebody said, "Did I hear about the Houston DL list?" Yes, I did. Child, the DL list in Houston. Listen, 82 00:15:24.088 --> 00:15:34.228 you ain't never, you ain't never gon' hear me, uh, giving away my list. So, uh, ladies and gentlemen, you are safe out there. 83 00:15:34.288 --> 00:15:47.508 Until these dudes start bragging about, uh, sleeping with trans women, I ain't s- I'm gon' sleep well. 'Cause, uh, listen, Auntie was a hoe back in the day. You know what I'm saying? Like, Auntie got her, had her fun. 84 00:15:47.688 --> 00:15:56.908 I don't, I don't do that no more. The kitchen's closed. You know what I'm saying? Like, I'm not interested right now because ain't nobody interested in showing me what I'm trying to see at all. 85 00:15:57.388 --> 00:16:09.948 And so, like, I'm marrying myself and the w- and the work that I'm dedicated to. I g- I have a purpose here on earth, and if nobody's gonna be equally yoked with me in that purpose, I don't want it. You're a distraction. 86 00:16:10.288 --> 00:16:18.208 And so many men have been a distraction 'cause they don't see me. They, they don't see me. You don't

see me. You don't see the value that I bring. 87 00:16:18.288 --> 00:16:21.768 You just see somebody you wanna sleep with, somebody to get your rocks off with and blah, blah, blah. 88 00:16:22.168 --> 00:16:34.408 Or even at the very least, like, you know, I'm not even gonna fully go into it, but all I know is it's not worth it for me, so I'm not doing that. Um, but the D- hey, g- um, goddess queen sister. 89 00:16:35.028 --> 00:16:49.768 Um, girl, g- your screen name is blocking your name from me right now. Um, so sorry. Uh, um, L- Lala, thank you, my God. Um, hey, Lala girl. Um, why somebody said that D-list scare them? What's scary about the D-list? 90 00:16:49.848 --> 00:17:00.868 You gotta say more. Oh yeah, Jerome. Auntie, Auntie has lived, lived, lived. I've lived. You know what I'm saying? Um, so listen, go to YouTube, y'all, before the night is over. 91 00:17:01.428 --> 00:17:11.668 Listen, this a, it's a order of operations I need you to take. It's a order of actions I need you to take for me because I need you to support. I'm gon' do the stuff. I'm doing it regardless 'cause I'm on purpose. 92 00:17:11.708 --> 00:17:20.288 That's what I'm doing. But I want you to be able to say, "I'm one of the supporters. I'm one of the people that support Angelica Ross. I ins- I support her. I support her show." 93 00:17:20.608 --> 00:17:32.608 I support anything Angelica Ross do, actually, you know? So go over to youtube.com/missross and hit that subscribe button. Not only hit that subscribe button, hit that join button. 94 00:17:32.688 --> 00:17:47.768 That's where, that's where the support comes in when you hit that join button and join for $4.99, starting at $4.99, 'cause you can join at the, um, I think it's $9.99 level, and it's a n- $19.99 level, I think. 95 00:17:47.848 --> 00:18:03.068 So it's three levels. Join them levels, different perks at each level. We gon' get into it. Oh, girls. Wait. Oh, we gotta talk about Sinners. Wait. Did y'all see Sinners? Did y'all see Sinners? I saw Sinners. 96 00:18:03.728 --> 00:18:14.187 I cannot watch horror movies and scary movies. I don't like 'em. I don't like being scared. I think that life is scary enough. But I loved Sinners, and I can't wait to go see it again. 97 00:18:14.288 --> 00:18:22.088 That's, I don't, can't believe I'm saying that, but I definitely wanna see it again. I don't think that they needed that white girl Mary in there. I'm sorry. 98 00:18:22.288 --> 00:18:30.288 I understand all the sides to the story, but I'ma tell you how Hollywood works. Hollywood always wants to slip a white girl in there. Y- let me tell you something. 99 00:18:30.788 --> 00:18:36.508 I've been in talks with different things and with different people, and they've been negotiating different films and different stuff. 100 00:18:37.048 --> 00:18:54.192 And you'll have a all Black story, and someone will use their position to make sure you slip a white woman in there. And I don't mean just in the background. She

gon' be one of the starsCool. Listen, I get it. It's fine. 101 00:18:54.232 --> 00:19:04.792 Um, you know, it's fine. It's a story, you know, right? Yeah, I liked it. You know, it was great. I just don't think that was necessary, you know, especially s- you know, seeing how all the things work. 102 00:19:04.802 --> 00:19:13.392 That could've been somebody... That could've been an old Black girlfriend. That could've been Yaya DaCosta. That's who that's, that's who it should've been. It should've been Yaya. 103 00:19:13.972 --> 00:19:26.232 That's who should've played that role, dead ass. Yaya would've ate that up. Tell me I... Yaya would've ate that up. Y'all need to get Yaya for the next things, though, 'cause that's my sister. 104 00:19:26.512 --> 00:19:34.232 And then when you get Yaya, then you need to get me so we can play twin sister vampires. Yeah. I'm pitching you, Ryan Coogler. 105 00:19:34.552 --> 00:19:41.452 You said to me one time on Twitter, a long time ago when it was called Twitter, that you, you know, want, would look for the opportunity to work with me. 106 00:19:41.572 --> 00:19:51.032 I know you, maybe you might've been just, you know, pushing me along the way. But in case you wasn't, Ryan Coogler, I'd be available. I'm ava- I'd be, I can be available for that. I can be available. 107 00:19:51.272 --> 00:19:59.452 Me and Yaya, we c- come together. I mean, we don't come together. You know, I, I, I'm with my sister in all the things, 'cause I'm advocating for her and I'm advocating for myself. You understand what I'm saying? 108 00:19:59.712 --> 00:20:07.112 But I would like for us to be together, 'cause I think we can play twin sisters, you know? I think we can play fraternal twins, because we look... 109 00:20:07.132 --> 00:20:14.592 You know, every time me and her get together, we update a selfie just so we can, uh, you know. I need you, I need you to comment. I need a comment. 110 00:20:14.812 --> 00:20:23.652 I need you to comment on this Shannon thing, because here's the situation with the Shannon thing. This is what worries me about Shannon. Here's the situation with Shannon. We're gonna go back to the Shannon Sharpe story. 111 00:20:23.932 --> 00:20:39.972 Shannon Sharpe refuses to view alleged sex tape in $50 million civil rape lawsuit. And see, on Now, we don't just say stuff, we bring receipts. Click, click. Oh, there it is. Oh, she got a nice little booty though. 112 00:20:40.372 --> 00:20:52.092 I see what trapped you. I see what got you. I see. It gets you every time. It's gonna get y'all every time. I see it. Mm-hmm. Yeah, I'm bisexual, pansexual, so I see it. Mm-hmm. Yeah. 113 00:20:52.212 --> 00:21:03.272 So what I love, I'm gonna, just gonna give y'all tea. I know this is kinda AI stuff, and we can't be using AI for everything, but Shannon Sharpe, this is the story. And so when you go to Yahoo Entertainment! 114 00:21:03.352 --> 00:21:10.012 and you click on the takeaways, it's saying, "Here go the takeaways. This is what you should basically take away from this story and the situation." 115 00:21:10.912 --> 00:21:26.252 [clears throat] NFL Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe is facing a $50 million civil lawsuit alleging rape and coercion by a woman known as Jane Doe. But I think he done already called her out, Gabby. Gabby. 116 00:21:26.552 --> 00:21:33.202 'Cause Gabby, you know this just a shakedown. And, uh, you know, 'cause they don't want... They just wanna take, uh, from me, and this just a shakedown. 117 00:21:33.552 --> 00:21:38.862 I think I could do Shannon Sharpe in the Snatch Game, 'cause, [laughs] you know. I could, I could, I could think I could do that. 118 00:21:39.432 --> 00:21:54.992 Um, central to the case is a video recording allegedly showing one of the encounters, which Sharpe has refused to watch despite being offered multiple opportunities. This is what don't make sense to me, Jerome. 119 00:21:55.412 --> 00:22:05.512 It, it was the skin. It wasn't the booty, it was the skin. But this is what don't make sense to me, is that he got up on his Instagram, posted a video saying, "Y'all just... 120 00:22:05.552 --> 00:22:17.762 Well, why don't you rel- release the whole tape? Because, uh, uh, this just a shakedown. And, uh, you know, like Jay-Z, uh, work with that lawyer. Um, you know, they just trying to get some money and, and, and..." 121 00:22:18.112 --> 00:22:31.402 But the thing is, he asked them to show the rest of the, the situation, and now that they're willing to show you a tape, you don't wanna see it. Now it's eyes wide shut. Nah, girl. Roll the tape. 122 00:22:31.972 --> 00:22:38.872 The only thing I didn't like was the Irish vampire said that all vampires are both man and woman. That is very interesting. I don't know if I caught that. 123 00:22:38.932 --> 00:22:48.632 I'ma have to go look at that back again when I go look at the Sinners movie. I gotta catch that. But listen, the thing is that they don't never have nuance for non-binary and trans people. So that is a thing. 124 00:22:48.812 --> 00:22:58.372 Love Ryan Coogler, love everybody, but I'ma tell you what, Black, the Black queerness is missing from everything, always. It's m- missing from Wakanda, it's missing from Black Is King. 125 00:22:58.412 --> 00:23:08.092 When Beyoncé did her Black Is King album, there wa- queerness should've been front and center because it is, it is that, um, inherent to Blackness. 126 00:23:08.392 --> 00:23:13.251 But each time, they don't seem to have the range to be able to be inclusive about it. That's why we have to come... 127 00:23:13.702 --> 00:23:21.152 That's why we can't be, you know, constantly applauding at the crumbs all the time, and also, we have to create our own stuff, so. 128 00:23:21.432 --> 00:23:29.912 The fact that he was about to settle for 10 million as well, I truly believe it's a shakedown and that he's just into rape play and race slave and he didn't want that exposed. 129 00:23:30.032 --> 00:23:43.772 Oh, is

that, is that, is that what you think? That's interesting, because if it, if he were into that, then she would have no case if she's rape role-play is on the menu. 130 00:23:44.812 --> 00:24:00.832 However, baby, this is where we gotta get nuance and, and, uh, uh, unpack the layers of this, of the conversation, because just because someone's a sex worker does not mean that 131 00:24:02.272 --> 00:24:13.152 they deserve to be violated. It doesn't mean that. So any time you wanna say no, you can say no. I don't give a damn what's going on. 132 00:24:14.792 --> 00:24:25.422 And the un- the thing is, is that there's so many women and femmes who are waking up to the realization that they've been violated, and probably haven't fully processed it because they thought they deserved it. 133 00:24:26.692 --> 00:24:36.212 I'm one of those people. I'm sure some man out there j- uh, lollygagging and skipping, thinking he did nothing wrong. Actually, no he don't, 'cause I told him that he did something wrong. 134 00:24:36.312 --> 00:24:48.252 But, and I, and even afterwards I did. But, you know, it was a situation where of course he was a sexy man, you know, it was back in the day. And like, um, you know, I think he was a personal trainer. 135 00:24:48.952 --> 00:25:05.496 And, um, he was at one of the gyms. And, um, you know, I had invited him over. Um-So again, I invited him into my space. That does not mean that I welcomed violence. Let's make v- let's be very clear about that. 136 00:25:06.376 --> 00:25:19.956 And so, you know, when we started getting into the things... Listen, I'm a petite girl. My bones are not that big. You understand what I'm saying? I'm a very small girl. So you know, and he was very, you know, endowed. 137 00:25:19.996 --> 00:25:33.286 He was a very large man. And like, and, and, um, you know, uh, I was not expecting, you know, all of that. And I get it, you know. There's always this kinda commentary with men and women, between men and women. 138 00:25:33.316 --> 00:25:40.996 It's like, "Oh, you talked all that game then? Oh, now you gonna get it." You know, blah, blah, blah. Whatever. I get that, and that can all be cute to a point. 139 00:25:41.036 --> 00:25:53.316 But when, when I'm telling you that it hurts, when I'm telling you that it doesn't feel good, when I'm telling you to stop, that should not make you more excited. That should not get you harder. 140 00:25:53.356 --> 00:26:01.216 That should immediately make you pump the brakes and be like, "What's wrong? 'Cause I wanna make sure you're comfortable and okay and you're enjoying this as much as I am." 141 00:26:01.576 --> 00:26:12.036 But truth be told, we know that men don't care if women enjoy sex as much as they do. Oh, look. Y'all, okay, y'all really engaging in the... Oh. M- listen, I'm glad to catch you live. 142 00:26:12.076 --> 00:26:23.916 I was just watching my nightly re-watch of Iyanla Fix My Life. Come on. Well, now you got a nightly, uh, other thing you can do

at, uh, 10:00 PM Eastern Time, uh, 7:00 PM Pacific Time. 143 00:26:24.616 --> 00:26:26.136 Now you got something else you can do. 144 00:26:26.196 --> 00:26:41.276 I wanna share a video with you really quick too, because, um, I've been working alongside, uh, trying to educate the people, you know, alongside, uh, Butch Ware, who's running for governor in the state of California. 145 00:26:41.546 --> 00:26:55.116 And you know, so he's gonna come on at some point and talk about his run for, uh, the governor's seat that... And I believe that Kamala Harris is also running for governor, which is very interesting. 146 00:26:55.216 --> 00:27:00.716 I don't think she's, she will win, um, for very specific reasons. But I'ma let y'all decide on that. 147 00:27:01.076 --> 00:27:15.576 Um, but there is a reel that he posted, and I asked his permission if I could share the reel on my live stream, and he said, "Please do." So that's what we gonna do, is share this video on this live. 148 00:27:15.756 --> 00:27:18.846 This message is for AOC Pelosi- There we go. It was his stuff on his- Who stood in front of us- Okay, there's the video... 149 00:27:18.846 --> 00:27:26.576 and lied to our face, playing in our face, telling us that the Dems were working tirelessly for a ceasefire- There's our video... and that we should be supporting Kamala. 150 00:27:26.946 --> 00:27:32.105 Now that it has come out that the Biden administration actually never asked for a ceasefire- Oh, he hasn't put it up... 151 00:27:32.105 --> 00:27:38.176 and they gave the Zionist carte blanche to carry out the most heinous genocide that any of us have witnessed- If y'all hear it, I hope y'all can hear it... 152 00:27:38.216 --> 00:27:47.906 in our lifetimes, just wondering will there be a public apology forthcoming? Yeah. Probably not, because we all know that you sold your soul to the devil himself- Oh, no. Butch very fine... 153 00:27:47.906 --> 00:27:53.605 so that you could one day potentially run as a Democratic president for the United States of America on the Democratic ticket. I'm sorry I just said that on the, um, on the thing. I didn't mean to say that. 154 00:27:53.605 --> 00:28:00.496 Y'all know I'm a CD. Never played one. Your personal ambitions are more important to you- Butch, you is fine... than the pile of couple of hundred thousand Palestinian corpses atop which you stand. 155 00:28:00.536 --> 00:28:03.416 [laughs] Baby, you is fine though. I be seeing you working out in the gym. Trust me. I see it. You... 156 00:28:03.716 --> 00:28:15.516 But y'all saw he had a message for, uh, he had a message for AOC, because it has been reported that Biden never asked for a ceasefire deal, never pressured them for a ceasefire deal. 157 00:28:15.796 --> 00:28:25.776 Just was talking so that y'all would keep going along with the program. You know, y'all that was believing. 'Cause a lot of y'all was sh- trying to shut us up saying, "Well, damn. They asked for a ceasefire. 158 00:28:25.856 --> 00:28:38.436 What else can they do?" Girl, uh, really? That's all it took for y'all to believe that? Wow. And the girls was eating it up like a, a, a... Sopping it up with a biscuit, as they say. Sopping it up with a biscuit. 159 00:28:38.756 --> 00:28:52.756 Eating it up. It was all lies. It was all lies. It was all lies, everyone. It was lies. The lies. The lies. The lies. I know y'all know who I'm referencing. 160 00:28:53.156 --> 00:29:02.136 Yes, I am quoting Love & Hip Hop and I am quoting Miss Kandi from The Real Housewives of Atlanta. Listen, I... Are y'all watching The Real Lives of Atlanta? 161 00:29:02.576 --> 00:29:12.376 I knew he wasn't doing a damn thing when the headline said he's just angry about what not Yahoo is doing. Okay, TechRookieBill, you, you finally found my YouTube. 162 00:29:12.396 --> 00:29:23.716 Had to click on your TikTok link in your Insta Linktree bio. Okay, great. I'm glad you find it. Y- I'm glad you're over. Come on over. Subscribe. Join if you got that $4.99. I could sure use it. 163 00:29:24.036 --> 00:29:36.336 I could use that $9.99 if you wanna upgrade to the next level, or maybe the $19.99. Listen, just wanna show C- Ce that you support a girl, you know what I mean? I have been watching Real Housewives of Atlanta. 164 00:29:36.436 --> 00:29:45.876 Now, I'ma, I'ma tell you how I watch Real Life- Housewives of Atlanta. I watch it on the background, and I, I'ma tell you how I watch it. Because I'm about that life. 165 00:29:46.176 --> 00:30:02.836 I'm about that BDS life, the Boycott, Divest, Sanction movement. So I'm divesting from all the bullshit. I'm divesting from all of it. I canceled HBO Max. I canceled Hulu, Disney. 166 00:30:02.956 --> 00:30:18.536 I canceled Netflix. I canceled Paramount. I cancel- I cancel everything. Uh, what is it? Uh, uh, Amazon Prime Video, whatever. Canceled that. All I got left is YouTube. 167 00:30:18.976 --> 00:30:34.016 So I've been watching, uh, Real Housewives on YouTube. Jerome Trammell saying Angela is owning the season. What I'ma tell you is this: I have always, always been Team Kenya Moore. Always been Team Kenya Moore. 168 00:30:34.256 --> 00:30:44.988 But when I saw Miss Thing-Miss Kenya. Girl, I know that she has since apologized. I know she's... I think she's... 169 00:30:45.248 --> 00:30:57.988 I saw her since do some interviews where she was like, you know, she was not proud of the behavior that she did. And baby, that was not a proud moment. That was a low down dirty shame actually. 170 00:30:58.048 --> 00:31:10.008 That, that was shameful behavior. I, I haven't watched the Real Housewives in a really long time, and when I saw, uh, Kenya put that girl's... 171 00:31:10.048 --> 00:31:22.148 basically slut-shame this girl in front of everybody at an event that's supposed to be about uplifting women and her hair salon, my mouth was dropped to the floor. I was gagged. 172 00:31:22.188 --> 00:31:36.388 And it wasn't just, I wasn't just, like, gagging, I was,

like, kinda hurt for her. And I don't really be... You know, I don't know those girls like this, I don't know them like that, but, like, that was not good. 173 00:31:36.688 --> 00:31:47.648 That was, that was bad. You said, "I guess I'm divesting too because I watch all these shows and movies free from a, a little app." I heard that. Listen, well, maybe you tell me about that little app, uh, 'cause... 174 00:31:47.868 --> 00:31:59.608 Well listen, no, let me not, let me, let me not, let me not promote certain behavior on my Live. Why don't you hit me up later? Um, but yeah, no, that was, that was, that was really, really, really, really bad. 175 00:31:59.708 --> 00:32:08.128 But here's what I wanna say about the whole Real Housewives of, of Atlanta sort of thing. I'm starting to notice a pattern here. 176 00:32:08.168 --> 00:32:19.358 What I love about pop culture and stuff like that is that the best of it is a really great reflection for who we are as a people, who our culture is. 177 00:32:19.918 --> 00:32:26.888 I mean, so many times I see there being a call from the people to wanna see a death to celebrity culture. 178 00:32:26.908 --> 00:32:36.508 But there'll never be a death to celebrity culture, because celebrity culture is all about what the people celebrate. It's just a reflection of who y'all celebrate. Do you need me to say that again? 179 00:32:37.428 --> 00:32:50.228 Celebrity culture is just a reflection about who the people celebrate. Y'all celebrate Blueface and The Shade Room and Kanye West when you need to be celebrating each other. 180 00:32:50.578 --> 00:33:01.648 Every day people are scrolling past their friends to celebrate people they don't even know, who don't want their kids to even turn out nothing like you. But you won't celebrate yourself, you won't celebrate your friends. 181 00:33:01.658 --> 00:33:07.388 That's why celebrity culture has to maintain, because it will always be a reflection of who you celebrate. 182 00:33:07.428 --> 00:33:19.228 So just know that we can change what celebrity culture looks like if we ch- if we change who and what we celebrate. Hello? Somebody? "Kenya have not gave Britt no real apology since 2025 is crazy." 183 00:33:19.888 --> 00:33:28.668 Well, here's, here's the thing about that situation. This is what I notice a pattern with, not just Real Housewives, but also with, you know, society in general. 184 00:33:28.998 --> 00:33:49.268 People who are experiencing some sense of powerlessness in their lives, um, in some form they feel like power is being taken away from them, or they feel, uh, like they don't have any power to change, um, the energy and the circumstances in their lives. 185 00:33:49.728 --> 00:33:57.668 And so people manipulate energy, and they manipulate things to get people on their side. They tell half the story. 186 00:33:57.768 --> 00:34:10.738 Oh, we know those people that want everyone to gang up on their side so we can all gang up on this one person, but they didn't

tell you about the first lick. They didn't tell you about the first rock they threw. 187 00:34:10.738 --> 00:34:24.148 They didn't tell you about what they did. That does not excuse Kenya's behavior, you know, because I do think that the girl was being a little interesting with her behavior towards Kenya before Kenya decided to do that. 188 00:34:24.168 --> 00:34:32.868 But that in no way excused what Kenya did after that. I think Kenya fully believed that people would be on her side. 189 00:34:33.448 --> 00:34:40.488 I think that's why she was so bold in talking the way she was talking at her party, and of doing what she did. 190 00:34:40.548 --> 00:34:49.708 I don't know who hyped her up, what producers, what hairstylists and makeup artists hyped her up to be able to come out like that, but that was egregious. 191 00:34:49.728 --> 00:35:03.688 And it's one of these things that I've seen people do where I've seen stuff happen on the internet and, and see people tell a story that gets us all to harp on this one person, and then you find out that wasn't the full story or that wasn't all that happened. 192 00:35:03.938 --> 00:35:14.988 And so I just want us to be mindful about the swing of the mob mentality, uh, that folks are trying to tap into and trying to unleash and manipulate on each other. 193 00:35:15.168 --> 00:35:24.688 Each of those girls have taken turns where they've crossed the line, and they keep telling each other, "Nah, bitch, that was low down dirty, 'cause you done crossed the line. 194 00:35:24.748 --> 00:35:36.948 You done talked about my kids, and now you done did this and now you done did that." Well girl, what's a red line to me might not be a red line to you, but we each taking turns throwing low blows. So where's the bottom? 195 00:35:36.988 --> 00:35:48.308 And I'm not talking about the glam team, I'm saying where is the bottom of the how low can you go? I know, I had to throw that joke in there. How low can you go? How low do you wanna go, queen? 196 00:35:48.668 --> 00:35:54.988 Wait, let me see what the, what the comments, what you say. "You wanna know what I think? I think Kenya Moore was ready to leave the show and this was prefabricated. 197 00:35:55.028 --> 00:36:06.868 This is exactly what they want us to think, that this is some sort of organic event." Y- maybe. Maybe Ken- but I think when... I, I mean, you think that people need to pull them kind of stunts to get out a contract? 198 00:36:07.208 --> 00:36:16.528 I guess. That's quite a stunt. "Word on the street is that Ming Lee from Basketball Wives has beef with Britt, and allegedly may have been responsible for all the toxicity." 199 00:36:16.788 --> 00:36:24.448 I don't know all the gossip and all the different things, and I think a lot of it is n- unnecessary, to be honest. 200 00:36:24.608 --> 00:36:36.536 But I understand that that's what Andy thinks is entertainment.Okay, so what I'm gonna do is I am going to set him up so we can get him on the live for

tomorrow night so we can, uh, talk about all the other things. 201 00:36:36.616 --> 00:36:42.116 But he wanted to discuss the famine that is happening right now in Gaza and how people are living. 202 00:36:42.216 --> 00:36:52.816 Um, basically people, they're eating, like, animal feed and, like, s- spoiled bread and things like that 'cause there's nothing else to eat. Food or medicine has not entered into Gaza. 203 00:36:53.436 --> 00:37:04.336 Um, he also wanted to discuss the targeting and deliberate killing of children and the number of them who were killed in the war, because again, uh, US media does not report accurately on that number. 204 00:37:04.396 --> 00:37:18.776 That number's stayed the same ever since they were negotiating for a ceasefire. I can't even begin... Listen, I can't begin. I just don't know if I have the right word. I don't know if it's livid. 205 00:37:18.916 --> 00:37:32.216 I don't know if it's insulted. I don't know ex- the exact word, but the fact that they've been lying in our faces, and we knew that they were lying in our faces, and a lot of us were calling it out. Not all of us. 206 00:37:32.436 --> 00:37:43.016 Let's not have revisionist history, some of y'all out there. Let's not do that. Let's grow. We can grow and talk about where you were and where you are now, but let's not have revisionist history. 207 00:37:43.616 --> 00:37:58.936 It is just wild to me that that saying, "Every accusation is a confession," turned out to ring true as a bell in regards to Israel. Rape claims, rape accusations. 208 00:37:59.256 --> 00:38:12.756 Huh, not Palestine, not as the hostages are leaving and kissing Hamas. [smacks lips] Thank you. They could- they, they didn't want y'all to see that video. That man, a man, not a woman, being overly affectionate. 209 00:38:12.816 --> 00:38:16.496 A man, not a gay, not a-- wasn't a, a thing like that. 210 00:38:16.656 --> 00:38:29.576 It was him being generally genuinely happy and elated that they were having some sort of exchange, and maybe this was coming to an end, and I appreciate and understand your struggle. That's what that was giving. 211 00:38:29.936 --> 00:38:39.116 Women coming out of the thing saying how well they were treated, how they would-- the men would turn around and didn't wanna watch them undress and things like that. That's what was really going on. 212 00:38:39.536 --> 00:38:55.076 Meanwhile, Israel is deadass raping Palestinian hostages. And let's be clear here, Whoopi Goldberg, 'cause girl, I need you to issue a retractment statement. 213 00:38:55.166 --> 00:39:07.636 'Cause I caught you one day on The View wanting to clarify that the Palestinian folks were not pri- uh, hostages, they were prisoners. No, no, no, baby, those are hostages too. 214 00:39:07.716 --> 00:39:20.476 Those are children that Israeli IDF soldiers snatched up off the, uh, streets for no reason. Some of them for daring to even look at them, uh, sideways. They snatch them off the streets and have become hostages. 215 00:39:20.896 --> 00:39:33.496 They're hostages. They're not prisoners, Whoopi. I know what side you stand on, Whoopi Goldberg. Girl, I know you're a Zionist. I'm calling it out. I know you is. I know you i- I know you is. 216 00:39:33.616 --> 00:39:42.776 I ain't even gotta, I, I ain't even gotta do much research. I know I don't. Prove me wrong. Somebody prove me wrong and tell me Z- Whoopi ain't no Zionist. I'll wait. 217 00:39:43.256 --> 00:39:52.956 I'ma sleep on it, and I'll catch y'all tomorrow night, but I'ma wait on it. Tell me. I'm-- and I'm open to being wrong. I'm open to being corrected. I say anything out of line, y'all can correct me anytime. 218 00:39:53.076 --> 00:39:58.636 I'm open to accountability. Just make sure you come with receipts, and make sure you're cute about it. Don't, don't get too cute. 219 00:39:58.696 --> 00:40:06.796 Un- and unless I'm bringing certain energy at you, then you can bring certain energy at me. We can go toe-to-toe, but you better be respectful if I'm being respectful. That's all I'm saying. 220 00:40:07.176 --> 00:40:19.896 So he's gonna-- I'm gonna get him, um, together on, uh, on another night. So that's gon' be it for now. I appreciate y'all joining me for the, uh, now nightly. We gon' be here every night. Well, not every night. 221 00:40:20.636 --> 00:40:36.516 Saturdays and Sundays I'm gon' take a break over the weekend, but Monday through Friday, we gon' be here, and we gon' be talking about all the things from politics to pop culture, and we're gonna talk about how it all comes together, connect the dots, and get to the deeper, deeper discussions. 222 00:40:36.556 --> 00:40:46.296 I hope y'all are ready to be in the deeper discussions. Also, if you're interested in being a collaborator and joining me now, if you're local here in Atlanta, join me here at the table. 223 00:40:46.356 --> 00:40:55.596 Let's, uh, let's have some conversation. I would love to have folks, um, who have information, especially on specific conversations, like Stop Cop City here in Atlanta. 224 00:40:55.896 --> 00:41:05.896 Um, or, you know, people who are just, you know, connoisseurs of the Atlanta, you know, entertainment scene with the housewives and all that, and you wanna talk about the things, and you're local to Atlanta, come to the studio. 225 00:41:05.956 --> 00:41:17.196 But you don't have to be local to Atlanta. I have a collaboration link that I can send you, and, uh, you can join me live on the, uh, nightly live stream. 226 00:41:17.356 --> 00:41:23.356 So, you know, um, and again, it's n- it won't be like, you know, just my basic interviews, which I will be sharing some of my interviews. 227 00:41:23.476 --> 00:41:32.076 I have not fully returned to the podcast yet, and that is because I have been working on all these things on the fly to get all these things together and just kinda working under the hood with things. 228 00:41:32.126 --> 00:41:41.356 And now that I've got things

pretty much set up, now I'm gonna be syndicating this nightly show onto the podcast platform for everyone to listen. All right? 229 00:41:41.876 --> 00:41:49.966 So make sure you subscribe on every platform, YouTube especially, youtube.com/missross. Uh, we're gonna be talking about all the things. 230 00:41:50.076 --> 00:42:02.356 Make sure you get onto our breaking news, uh, story board so we can talk about all the things and continue. Uh, but yeah, I can't wait to continue, uh, having all these conversations with you. I usually leave, 231 00:42:03.616 --> 00:42:10.596 um, and, and leave off by sharing a, what we call a Buddhist breadcrumb. This, here we go. 232 00:42:12.156 --> 00:42:28.056 "A person of wisdom is not one who practices Buddhism apart from worldly affairs, but rather one who thoroughly understands the principles by which the world is governed. 233 00:42:29.256 --> 00:42:43.912 In the end, secular matters are the entirety of Buddhism."In the end here indicates just as they are. In other words, secular matters just as they are. 234 00:42:44.432 --> 00:42:55.572 Listen, this Buddhi- this Buddhist word right here, that was just a little, little, little something, but I'm gonna tell you how deep that really is. What they're saying is, 235 00:42:57.712 --> 00:43:10.052 don't be, uh, impressed by these people who are performing spirituality and religion. Don't be impressed by that. I need to pull that back up. 236 00:43:10.112 --> 00:43:25.632 But le- but, but basically that, because a lot of people put like, "Oh, 'cause they go to this building and this church, 'cause they wear these clothes and robes, because they do these rituals, um, and they spend so much time." 237 00:43:25.772 --> 00:43:40.272 That's all I do. All I do is praise the Lord and watch Jimmy Carlwell. What's the J- uh, Falwell. One of them preachers, my grandmother used to watch him all the time on the, uh, on the Jimmy Swagger show. 238 00:43:40.292 --> 00:43:51.712 My God, she was watching Jimmy Swagger all the time. All I do is praise the Lord and read my Bible. That's all I do. I don't do nothing else. I don't do, I don't do worldly stuff. I don't go there. I don't do this. 239 00:43:51.792 --> 00:44:01.292 I don't watch that. I don't talk to these people. I don't go there. I don't do this. That's not how it works. That's not how the practice works. 240 00:44:01.372 --> 00:44:17.152 And this, they talking about Buddhism here, but I like to kinda like go ahead and, and connect the dot to what I would say is a correct way to practice faith. It's not in ways of preaching to people. 241 00:44:17.652 --> 00:44:42.532 It's in demonstrating through your own experience, and that is through experiencing life, not sitting on a pedestal or on a mountain meditating somewhere away from the troubles that everybody else is experiencing, 'cause you have the privilege to have the airfare to go to Fiji or wherever else you wanna travel to feel like you need to find yourself, Miss, uh, White Lotus, 242 00:44:43.892 --> 00:45:00.162 only to find out that you're just shallow. So real practice is done through real relationships, the real challenges with people, conversation, dialogue, real life, everyday real life. That is where the practice is. 243 00:45:00.252 --> 00:45:16.092 That's where you practice your humanity. That's where you practice being like the Buddha or being like Christ. How about it? 'Cause a lot of y'all Christians ain't not a damn thing like Christ, 244 00:45:17.072 --> 00:45:32.622 and that's the tea on that. Y'all ain't nothing like Christ. I don't even know if y'all really know Jesus. I don't know if you know Jesus. I'm a Buddhist, and I know Jesus better than you know Jesus. How about that? 245 00:45:33.792 --> 00:45:42.372 I was raised in a church, so I'll give you that. I was raised, and if you raise a child ri- uh, if you raise a chi- what is it? What's the, what's the Bible verse? 246 00:45:42.402 --> 00:45:53.672 "If you raise a child in the ways in which they should go, they shall not depart," or, you know, what have you. And listen, that don't mean pledge allegiance to the bull-ish. 247 00:45:54.212 --> 00:46:09.032 That means you train them up in the right way to go, girl. That don't mean like just, you know, subscribing to some bull crap. Getting married at 12 and having kids. No, girl. Being a willful indentured slave. No, girl. 248 00:46:09.112 --> 00:46:22.432 That's not what the... Uh, no. That ain't what we use religion for. What is y'all problem? Women, you only supposed to wear pants and no makeup. Girl, what? Huh? I can't hear you through the blush. 249 00:46:22.912 --> 00:46:37.272 I can't hear you through the blush, girl. Talk about... So all right, y'all. That is it for me tonight. Thank you for joining me, uh, now nightly. I will see you all tomorrow night. Good night, everybody. 250 00:46:37.552 --> 00:47:07.212 [outro music]
