Speaker 2:
because they they're no longer. You're no longer in touch with what's relevant and whatever laws you place. Now you don't have to deal with the consequences of because you're going to be dead. You are 80 years old.
Speaker 3:
Yeah, you're 80 years old girl you, we are talking about the president.
Speaker 2:
You can't use that button, oh shit whatever, I didn't controversy anyways, but I mean like you're too old.
Speaker 2:
We're safe here to be making laws in a world that you no longer understand. If you can convert a PDF file, maybe you can be president, but I don't think any of those men can do that and so I don't think it's just a fact. I'm like you don't know how online works. You don't know, like the questions they asked Mark Zuckerberg and his trial, like the TikTokiktok guy, the questions these old white men were asking were so embarrassing. Really. They were embarrassing because they didn't know what they were talking about. You work for china? Yeah, like, do you work for china? Are you? Are you saving these in zip files? I was like what the fuck is?
Speaker 3:
are these real questions? Do you work for the communist party? Like they asked like 17 times, embarrassing yeah but no questions about the actual like equipment or any of the safety or anything.
Speaker 2:
The app, the algorithm, the safeties like the yeah, the 18 and older safety precautions, stuff. Like I was like it was embarrassing and I was like I don't want these people representing what is a new world that they don't understand and so you're not going to understand trans people, or what is a new world that they don't understand and so you're not going to understand trans people are in. I think if you live through segregation, you also shouldn't be able to run for president. You have a skewed view of the world, whether you're black or white. You do not understand the world that we live in, where we all grew up integrated. We all grew up saying you know what we should all have, we should all have. And we also grew up in a world where saying you know what we should all have, we should all have. And we also grew up in a world where one income in the household could buy you a house and feed your family. Now you need 19 roommates and 16 side hustles and OnlyFans.
Speaker 3:
Yes, yes.
Speaker 2:
One of those side hustles has to be OnlyFans. Yeah, so I think we live in a world they are not properly navigating because they don't understand anything about that. Like they're still writing these op-ed pieces of why aren't millennials buying diamonds? I'm like we don't have any fucking money, you idiots. You guys took it all and shut the door behind you. Yeah, like 100%. So I think they all need to just get the fuck off the horse because they're driving us off a cliff.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, and they're too comfortable on that horse.
Speaker 2:
Yes, they are Because that horse provides so much.
Speaker 1:
It's almost like you said we kind of have to wait till they die out, no more career politicians.
Speaker 2:
I don't want to see any more career politicians. I want to see farmers. I want to see teachers, I want to see educators. I want to see scientists, scientists. I want to see scientists. Scientists need to be leading us because they're destroying the planet.
Speaker 2:
They're actively destroying the planet and we're just watching. Like Long Beach just down the street was flooded People are flooded out of their apartments and their homes, yeah and like they're just ignoring the fact that all these factories are over here causing all this climate change and telling us to recycle individually. This is not an individual thing. This is a world issue and we're not a part of it because none of us. Everyone keeps putting their head in the sand saying, oh, climate change, this climate change, that we need to get these people out of office, and I don't think that's going to happen with voting. I think there needs to be a revolution and I'm calling for it right now, and I don't mean January 6th, I mean real change, real revolution real leaders that want us to do well as a people, because our government no longer is for the people.
Speaker 2:
They gave all this money to Israel, money that would solve homelessness three times, and there are people like you walk past homeless people on the street and it's disgusting. Oh, we don't have the money for programs.
Speaker 2:
Yes, the fuck we do here's a gift card for 25 bucks yeah there's enough money for programs for everyone to get the help they need, to get the housing they need to get the shower, they need to get the paperwork they need to become a citizen. It should be easier to become a citizen than it should to get behind the wheel of a car. I fully believe that. I think we pay so much in taxes. We are overtaxed. We are taxed on every item we buy day to day, our groceries. At the end of the year taxes there's a tax on the money you make at work. The government gets paid before you do.
Speaker 3:
If I were to pay you money on Venmo or something like that, I'd be taxed for earning the money. Yes, taxed on Venmo, taxed sending it to you.
Speaker 2:
You would then pay a tax for receiving it and this was all your money, wasn't it?
Speaker 3:
And then taxed for spending it. Yeah, you end up with 30 cents.
Speaker 2:
It's a crime and other countries are making fun of us for it. Because I've been and they're like you, buddies' pockets lined because rich is never rich enough, they're never rich enough, there's never enough. And so there's a minimum wage. There should be a maximum wage, yeah.
Speaker 3:
Billionaires shouldn't exist. I don't see the concept. There's no such thing as an ethical billionaire. There's no way you can reach billionaire status without exploiting other humans.
Speaker 2:
You know there is slavery somewhere down that supply chain and someone doesn't have health care, someone doesn't have a safe home in your supply chain, whereas you've got nine houses. Do you think that's fair? You don't do any work, you're not even part of the working class. What does the working class do they provide comfort for billionaires? Why are we insulating billionaires with laws that help them, subsidies from the government that help them and don't help us? This is supposed to be we, the people, for the people. We need to do something now. Yeah, supposed to be we, the people, for the people. We need to do something now.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, but it's never been made for black people, oh never, not once. And people like us Not once. It's never been like that.
Speaker 2:
Because we also deserve reparations now.
Speaker 1:
Yeah we definitely do. But I sit up here and I listen to that and I'm just like the same way. The Facebook Instagram algorithm is not for black folks like you and I, or whatever. So is the government as well, too, and so I'm sitting up here trying to think to myself what structure needs to be built. It's like we want to see these things right, but the reality of it is, with lack of resources, with lack of understanding, with lack of money and all of these things or whatever, it seems so impossible to achieve it, and I'm exhausted.
Speaker 2:
I'm here to tell you reparations would solve all of it. Asian people when they got put into camps and I say Asian people because they were looking for Japanese people when they got put in internment camps. They got reparations when they got out, and then they were made a model minority after that in the eyes of white people, and so nothing balances the scales like having your own money. And so we've never had our own money because they've always taken from black people, whether it be from Tulsa, oklahoma or just burning down our cities and burning down our homes when we're doing well. And they made it completely legal because none of those white people were ever tried for those crimes. No, never, ever, ever.
Speaker 2:
And so we were just asked out again, told you can pull yourself up by the bootstraps by these people who are getting government subsidies and tax cuts and tax breaks and getting money to buy homes, while we started out with literally nothing. We did not get 40 acres and a mule. We never got our reparations and that would level the playing field and people could not look down on us anymore. It's like no, we got the money that you owed us, because we are owed like a trillion dollars in reparations for all the free labor that we did to build this country. You know, the White House is made by black people. Yeah, yeah, there are Flays. Built this country.
Speaker 2:
Yes, and it's the second White House, the first one burnt down, yeah. And then they have pictures. There's literal pictures, there's in color pictures. They put them in black and white so it looks older than it is. There's in color pictures of black people building the White House, so you can go ahead and look those up. Everybody, I'm not lying. Do your research. We are owed reparations yesterday.
Speaker 1:
And there you have it. And there you have it run me my money. Oh, there's one for that one I love them.
Speaker 2:
I love it.
Speaker 3:
I'm bored oh my god, I just I can't thank you enough for having like a deep conversation today and really getting into it. And you know, before we go, I just want to give us, you know, a light topic of you're married now.
Speaker 1:
I knew we were going to be yes, we're excited.
Speaker 3:
You knew it. Come on, I prepped you because I'm married and a lot of trans folks, especially in LA, they're poly girls. So what we're doing, we're the minority.
Speaker 1:
Someone say poly yes.
Speaker 3:
What.
Speaker 1:
Poly pocket. So what is it?
Speaker 3:
like to be a trad wife. How are you doing A?
Speaker 2:
trad wife. Oh my God, with me, with like a rugby shirt on, I feel like I can see it though I'm like you guys want some cookies, honey, hi.
Speaker 3:
Yeah, the ingredient is this.
Speaker 2:
I can't wait to come over for Christmas, yes, well, yeah, I'm married now. I'm married now. We have known each other. We're going on four years this year Beautiful, which is crazy. But yeah, we got married in November. Kept it a secret because we hadn't told our families yet. Oh, but you know, we came out and told them right before Christmas, and then we decided to tell social media in January.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, the pictures were beautiful, by the way. Thank you so much, remy he took those on film.
Speaker 2:
