Cool media.
Speaker 2Okay, first things first, a papa freaks all the honeys.
Speaker 3I'm sorry.
The beautiful inlaying live experience.
Speaker 2Me and Matt Alsowski killing the beat soft leader brother that produces all the music for this.
Speaker 3We did a poetry album together.
Speaker 2We will be doing it live October twenty second at the Allegian Theater in Los Angeles.
Tickets are in the show notes.
It's pretty small theaters, so please get your tickets asap.
Would love to see you there and man tap in with me.
You know what I'm saying, Come hang out, Please buy these tickets.
I have to sell this out.
Okay, happy, let's do this.
Speaker 1I'm gonna need a second.
Speaker 2I don't know when these people don't learn that they don't want it with Jasmine.
Y'all really don't want to smoke with missus Jasmine Crockett, congress woman from Texas.
But Lauren Lumer decided she was gonna shoot her shot.
And when she shot her incredibly disgusting racist shot, my first thought was, oh, I cannot wait for this.
I cannot wait for Jasmine to just show how intelligently petty she is.
But then I was also thinking, what if she does just show that class that black women always show.
Speaker 3And then my third thought was, like, of.
Speaker 2Everything that Lauren Lumer said, I feel like I've heard that before.
Speaker 3It's crazy how racism don't change.
Tap in with me, y'all.
Speaker 2All right, what I thought was fake news, what I swear to you, I thought was an internet meme because it the seventh grade racism of it all really took me back in a way that was just so jarring, because not only was it disgusting, it was just so childish anyway.
But apparently this, this woman, Lauren Luhmer, got the ear of the president.
She didn't figure something out.
Let me give her that.
Now, if you weren't terminally online like the rest of us, good for you, don't be just tap in with me here and there.
Speaker 3So.
Speaker 2Representative Jasmine Crockett responds to criticism from GOP senators about making a day to honor Charlie Kirk and I don't know if y'all notice, but our Congress voted to do that, to make a day to honor that man.
Now, I don't know what I'm missing.
I still don't see it.
I still don't see it, y'all.
And Jasmine put it in the most respectful way.
And what she said was when she looked at the senators that voted against making a day to honor this man, she noticed that the entirety of the people that voted against it were people of color, and there was only two white people.
She said, Caucasis, there's only two Caucasians that voted against this.
And she was like, I'm kind of sad, you know, because of how clearly obvious it was that that man's rhetoric was so damaging, which to me is like That's why I'm like, I still don't see it.
But like I don't see I don't see how his proclamation of faith somehow undoes the racism.
I just don't it.
That math is never going math to me.
But that being said, she put it.
She put it when she was like, this dude, his words are his movement.
It's just it's just so damaging and dangerous for people of color.
She was like, man, I was kind of I was kind of surprised, you know, and like a little hurt that.
Like I just thought in the same way that when you read an interview that Alex Haley had of Martin Luther King when he said he was very surprised that the people that were the most difficult to convince to work with us, and a lot of times, he said, a lot of times worked against us were my white brothers and sisters within the faith, other Christian leaders.
He was like, I'm shocked at like, y'all you were the biggest hindrance to us, you know.
And that's the stuff that I feel, like, this is just me talking right now, Like this isn't me telling you to tap in.
This is me being honest.
That's the feeling I feel about when people are praising Charlie Kirk.
I feel the way Martin Luther King must have felt when he looked at first Baptist Church down the street in Birmingham that was just a white congregation, and how they were vehemently opposed to what he was trying to do.
Or it's like, are you serious anyway?
Not comparing myself to doctor King, obviously, but I'm just saying just the way it felt.
Speaker 3She tags Jasmine right.
Speaker 2And then goes on, I mean, listen, if it's not already the idea that you was willing to say ghetto black bitches to a sitting congresswoman, not even a sitting congresswoman just to a woman period and didn't think you wasn't gonna get your ass beat, which is what should happen.
Speaker 3Right, But.
Speaker 2Either way, that was the that was the tweet, right, which as again most of y'all know that it should be a fad.
Speaker 3Right.
Speaker 2Then she goes on to say, Jasmine Crockets, you know, homeboys and homegirls are big mad.
I called her what she is, ghetto.
I guess I finna watch my back, God forbid, Shaniko pops a cap in my ass?
Speaker 3You feels me.
So that's the type of stuff that she says, right.
Speaker 2And then in replying to Jamila Hill being like, yo, are you really is this really where you at?
Speaker 3She was like, I meant everywhere.
Actually, Like I.
Speaker 2Just openly this is what I mean by seventh grade you calling her Shanikua.
Should I run down her credentials?
I'm gonna let you google that.
But you know what, I shouldn't have to run down her credentials.
There's no way in the world you should.
There's nothing I need to explain to you for that.
But that's the context.
Do y'all remember when Margie Taylor Green wanted to smoke with her do y'all remember that when she was when they were in session and she was commenting on Jasmine's appearance on what's appropriate, and Jasmine kept it cool, and then she was like, hey, listen, well let me ask you this.
Uh would it be appropriate if I were to say bleach blonde, bad built, butch body?
And in talking to Margie Taylor Green and then she was like, oh, real mature, and it's like, uh, ma'am, I'm just saying you commenting about my big hoop ear rings and nails.
I'm just saying it's inappropriate.
You see how you dish it out, but you can't take it.
I don't understand why these women still want to smoke.
Now, if you've ever seen Lauren Luhmer's face, Okay, this is something that again the black end me says, you are asking to be roasted.
Right, just like that brother when we first started doing the tap ins that was trying to convince us that the three fits compromise wasn't about slavery.
He was standing there in them little tight white pants.
I was like, I have to roast you because what you're saying is so absurd, right, So part of me got excited for the way Jasmine is gonna respond to this.
But then the other part was like, I'm tired for black women, Like whether it's Katanji Brown, whether it's Jasmine Crockett, it don't matter how many suffixes you got at the end of your name, it don't matter.
Speaker 3How freakishly more qualified you are.
Speaker 2Then this person who talking this shit about you, lay and Lumer ran for Congress twice and lost.
That's not even the point.
Wasn't nobody even talking to her, wouldn't have even brought her up and.
Speaker 3Checked this out.
Speaker 2Jasmine wasn't even talking to her when they when this lady decided to step in.
So finally, after a week, US Rep.
Jasmine Crockett finally clapped back at the conservative podcaster after all of that racist shit and checked this out while attending I'm reading this from Yahoo News.
While attending a Congressional Black Caucus Week in Washington, DC, Crockett briefly addressed the personal online attacks in a true Chasmin Crockett fashion, and it came in the form of wit and shade.
Speaker 3And this is what she said.
Speaker 2I know that some of y'all think I am, you know, younger than I am but just so y'all know, I am twelve years old older than Lauren Lumer.
Now, if you look at them, two pitches next to them, I want y'all to know that Steven Miller is forty.
I like, look at it's just like the hate just adds twenty five years to their face.
So listen, she ain't even gotta be racist.
She ain't gotta add note.
She ain't got to insult that woman's intelligence.
She was just like, I know, y'all think it's because listen, this is how we grow up.
You ain't gonna roast me.
You have to understand we know what we're doing.
Okay, Laura and Lumer thirty two years old, Yoe, I'm just gonna let you.
Let you deal with that one.
Listen, Leading Black Women Alone.
The poem this week from The Endling The Beautiful Endling is a poem called Answers Now and Answers.
It's supposed to be a depiction of couples therapy.
Speaker 3That's kind of the idea.
Speaker 2When you feel like you got more questions and answers, and then answers and then questions are being a bully and you're really not saying what you want to say.
So this is in the spirit of everybody not saying what they want to say.
Speaker 1Tap in with me.
Speaker 2Sometimes I feel my emotions have a concussion.
You ask me how I feel nauseous, a cacophony of weight or what she says she ain't happy.
I'm sorry, I'm gonna need a second.
Speaker 1This therapy thing is new.
Speaker 2I spent most of my life saying how I feel in metaphor literal.
Speaker 1Is it boring?
Speaker 3You need to feel what I feel.
Speaker 2I carry, not that masculinity that crushes what it loves, that lies to its own reflection, that sieves all feelings through a grid of competition life and a dig measuring game.
And I don't care about your race.
I'm too focused on mind I carry.
The failure is not an option type.
You ain't happy, I'm gonna need a second.
Are you familiar with this moment?
When there are far more questions than answers can even answers severely outgunned and outmatched, punching well above its weight class.
Speaker 1It's not even close.
Speaker 3Questions bullying little old.
Speaker 2Answers like y'all better get from around here.
This ain't your hood where your mama live.
Questions bending and contorting their fingers into various combos of letters, letting answers know that y'all don turned down the wrong block.
Questions giggling over answers much trade, just trying to decide which snack they gonna take first.
Questions feeling your comment sections like y'all just gonna have to deactivate your account.
Questions singing answers revenge, porn knife to answers, mama's neck looking at answer like god, dare you answers looking at questions like I thought we was friends?
Yet in the Yang binary stars, questions have grown weary of being problem with not.
Speaker 1Solution, while does answer always get the last word?
Speaker 3Don't answer that?
Speaker 2What am I feeling right now?
Speaker 1Don't dizzy?
How could you say that?
How could you feel that?
Since?
Speaker 2When?
Speaker 3How long?
Speaker 1Who was it?
Speaker 2Do I know him?
Speaker 3Was I in town?
No way do I know her?
Speaker 1Was it my fault?
And I miss that?
Wait for real?
What do you mean?
Speaker 2What do you mean by that?
What's wrong with my tone?
Why am I crying?
Why am I crying?
Speaker 1I have so many questions?
I used to love questions.
Speaker 3Questions were my writing problems?
Speaker 1My muss?
Speaker 2Sometimes I'll be furious a question like, how dare you take up so much time and so much of my peace, so much of my sleep y'all think the muse is romantic.
Speaker 3She rode as hell, she stone wall you all.
Speaker 2Day, lead text unread, don't even touch the meal you cooked for and then when you finally get the picture to get some rest or have the nerve to have other appointments, all of a sudden she can't keep her mouth shut.
She is the most inconvenient, sneaky link.
Speaker 3I'm sorry, I need a second.
Speaker 2You ask how I'm feeling right now, like I want to be anywhere but here.
I feel like I wish you would stop asking me, like I have to revise what I think of me, like the mirror been lying to me for years, like I don't even know me.
I feel like you got some homework to do.
I feel like you could have told me this for free.
I thought we were worth it.
You're not happy.
Speaker 1What is happy?
Speaker 3I thought we were.
Speaker 2I'm anna need a sec because what we was is gone.
Speaker 3A question?
Was it ever
