happening in celebrity news. Y'all, Honey, Tiffany had As, y'all
is finally putting.

Speaker 2 (06:55):
Straight out to this room. And now she talked about it.

Speaker 9 (06:57):
A while back ago people were saying that she and
Jason had a beautiful baby together or Tiffany said, listen, y'all, honey,
it was just a joke, honey. She said, I did
not have a baby with Jason Lee. She said, honey,
you know, she loved cheers and stuff and whatever, and
she loved Jason Lee. That's her good friend. And what happened,
and you know, then she went out, you know, tending
that back. You know, she was hosting the Jimmy Kimmel

(07:18):
show Life recently and she said, listen, y'all, please stop
the room.

Speaker 2 (07:21):
It was just a room. We were just having fun.

Speaker 9 (07:23):
And you know, she was spotty holding the baby with
Jason Lee, and people like they look so good together.
But they're saying that the cat is out the bag,
and she actually like she didn't understand her When people
was asking her about this situation, she said, quote, there's
a personal amount, honey, I feel must be addressed. She
began her When she did the monologue on Jimmy Kimmel,
she said, two weeks ago hundred I put something on
the Instagram that made everyone go a little crazy, she said,

(07:46):
with a picture of me and my friend Jason Lee
posing with the baby and the caption cats out the bag.
Then she went on to say, ya, for some reason,
people saw this and thought her I had a baby.
She like, Honey, there were articles about this everywhere, she said,
even on my own partists Honey were asking if I
had a secret baby, which is kind of insulted, she said,
because they are all living her and her dog on house, Honey,

(08:07):
blocking her from getting some sex, honey.

Speaker 2 (08:09):
And then.

Speaker 9 (08:12):
Then she went on to say, you know, she asked
Jason said, who was in the artist at the time,
who was you know? She ad to him, Honey, what
he thought about that room?

Speaker 10 (08:18):
Man?

Speaker 9 (08:18):
They said he played real coy you know about it
and said, you know he's seeing real confused. He said,
quote the whole world, honey has lost their mind over
this beautiful baby. That's what Miss Tiffany was. And she said,
we must hunt. We just took a dog on picture
of the baby and then the world went crazy. Then
she asked Jason, Honey, you know, if the offer was
still on the table, honey, if they wanted to make
a real baby together, And Jason replied, you know, Honey,

(08:42):
I'm traditional. Did he say, Honey, I am still gay.
So so he told her, he said, honey, he says,
so let's be clear, baby, Honey, I did not, She said,
I didn't have a babyture there, but I'm open why
to have it. Then they asked her who would you
like to have a baby, and a lot of people
was wondering if Tiffany was a little racist or spreadjuree.

Speaker 2 (08:59):
She said, honey, she would love to have.

Speaker 9 (09:01):
A baby with Tom Cruise or Jason Moore or even
Brad Pitt, honey or Jill Carlo Santo. But honey, a
lot of people like, well, good she it ain't no
black men. I wonder why she didn't ain't no black men.
I mean, you know, I guess because some people saying
that black men stress you, but I know that's not true.

(09:26):
They stress you. So but anyway, you're glad she spoke
out about it, and you know, hey, it is what
it is. So congratulations to Tiffany has and jasonly they
are not they are not parents together.

Speaker 2 (09:39):
They don't have no dog on kids together. So moving
on and not a celebrity news y'all.

Speaker 9 (09:50):
I've said, y'all is finally speaking out, y'all. Now he's
as many y'all that he really messed up. And here's
what he had to say about his beautiful marriage with
Miss Cardinal B.

Speaker 11 (10:02):
But I mean, I feel like the same thing, like
I gotta acknowledge that and Jane get back on the journey.
The actions that I've done to cause certain situations that happen, yeah,
I had to, But at first I didn't, you know,
I was trying to act tough and you know, try
to like act like I ain't giving at first, But
like the actions that I did during the time that
I was acting that way helped me realize, like where

(10:24):
you're wrong.

Speaker 9 (10:26):
See, he didne gave all y'all secrets away all y'all.
I mean, y'all act like y'all honted. I'm not mad,
but you really are, you.

Speaker 2 (10:33):
Know, on the situation. Yeah, but man, he the one.
He's men that he messed the relationship up, and.

Speaker 9 (10:41):
He had men, and if more men would mint to
their downfalls, and I think it would be more marriages. Still,
how you know that on a minute, cause y'all don't.
If you did people, it would be less divorced.

Speaker 3 (10:53):
I don't know, No, I mean, come on, when people
mess up, some people be like, oh, that's it for
you and me, we get a divorce. They don't always
stay together once they admit they take accountability because it's
still a bad thing that you cheated.

Speaker 2 (11:06):
Yeah, but I mean, if you if you wrong, admit it,
just start. That's the start. And that ain't just for
the person.

Speaker 10 (11:13):
That's for you, trying to make you a better person,
because accountability is important, it is, but people.

Speaker 3 (11:20):
To admit, Yeah, they don't want to lose the person message.

Speaker 2 (11:25):
So that's what I'm saying.

Speaker 9 (11:27):
And so don't be scared to me. Admit and then
if you admit it from the start, we wouldn't break up.
Probably we will still be together. You throwing up in
the face every day? Did you pull his seal like that?
Did you give him yes?

Speaker 2 (11:51):
Did you hug him like that? When you do?

Speaker 5 (11:54):
You know?

Speaker 9 (11:54):
Because I mean, but the thing is though, I mean,
because I don't want to get over till damnit I
get at if you admitted it to me or not
until get you, that means you ain't over now.

Speaker 2 (12:04):
You're still better from a relationship twenty years ago.

Speaker 3 (12:07):
And that's why y'all not still together.

Speaker 2 (12:09):
Yeah, but still damn it.

Speaker 9 (12:10):
I want you to admit that you was wrong and
didn't let me, honey, get over it.

Speaker 2 (12:13):

Speaker 10 (13:22):
Oh my god, Gary, that was beautiful. Y'all give it
up if you would for Gary with the t All right,
j Rick in the Morning show A it is about
that time. Jeff Johnson got three things you need to know.

Speaker 5 (13:34):
Jeff.

Speaker 4 (13:34):
Good morning, Hey, good morning, Rick, good morning, everybody. Good
to be with you all this morning. So listen. We
see the increased political drama taking place in Texas and
in California as we move towards what will be the
future of the congressional map in the United States. We
saw that state Representative Nicole Collier and others refused to

(13:59):
sign and quotes sign away my dignity as a duly
elected representative so Republicans can control my movement and monitor
me with police escorts, as many of those Democrats who
had left the state previously were because of because of
the the the quote unquote law that they broke by

(14:20):
not being there, had escorts that had to follow them
around but we do know that that as of yesterday,
the state of Texas has approved these new lines, and uh,
it'll go before the state Senate and be signed by
the governor in short order. Now, in response to that,

(14:42):
we've seen Governor Gavin Gavin Newsom go incredibly aggressive, not
just against Trump, which I think is hilarious, but in
putting into play redistricting lines that will give five additional
seats to Demo crat. Now, unlike Texas, you are which literally,

(15:04):
despite the insanity of it, legally can do this, State
of California has a number of steps that they have
to go through. I think the governor is going to sign,
has to sign, has to approve the map and sign
it by Friday to meet the ballot deadline. But this
is a much longer process because the state of California

(15:25):
has a voter improved independent Commission that governor knew him
back before Trump's.

Speaker 5 (15:33):
Latest redistrict maneuver, and so.

Speaker 4 (15:37):
Really by law, only the state's voters can override the
map that commission that the commission approved in twenty twenty one.
But the governor said extraordinary steps are required to counter Texas,
So they're looking to do a two thirds majority to
get this done. So there's a lot of political maneuvering.

(15:57):
California is really the only place that has the room
to counter with five additional seats, and so I think
that there are many Democrats in particular that are viewing
the governor's move as incredibly aggressive and needed to show
that the Democrats have a level of strength and response
to what the Republicans have been doing in Texas and

(16:19):
how this will affect the midterm elections. But there's a
lot more that's happening that it's going to happen. California
is really the focus of the battle now because this
Texas peace is for the most part done. But the
governor is excuse me, the governor is really moving aggressively
to make this happen. Okay, I'm curious on your end,

(16:41):
do you like what you see governor knew some doing
and do you think they're going to be able to
pull this through.

Speaker 8 (16:47):
I wish you would be even more aggressive and withhold
tax tax, withhold California's tax money that goes into the
federal government. I wish he would be like super over
the top aggressive.

Speaker 2 (17:01):
But yeah, we keep going to guns with nine.

Speaker 8 (17:04):
Yeah, we can't match them tip for tat. We got
to match them, you know, t tip tip for tap
like because they're doing so much that we, you know,
on this side, we have to match that energy and
with overwhelming force.

Speaker 2 (17:18):
You know.

Speaker 8 (17:18):
That's what I believe, because I think we're at it
in an existential crisis right now where Trump is doing
everything humanly possible to make sure that he stays in
power beyond you know, that he doesn't give Democrats any
power they want. They basically want to eliminate Democrats from
the entire government.

Speaker 2 (17:36):
Yeah, we are. We are definitely headed into a dictatorship.

Speaker 8 (17:39):
And I don't think people realize that and understanding. We're
not being dramatic here, you know, but you need to
really sit back and look at what's unfolding right now
and stop being you know, I think a lot of
us got our head in the saying.

Speaker 4 (17:51):
You know, I think a lot of us. I think
a lot of us less than have our head understand.
People are really dealing with the effects of what's happened
with this administration. So I don't even think people have
their head in the sand. I think people are losing jobs.
I think people are having to pay higher prices for
things that you know, two months ago were affordable and
now are unaffordable. And so I agree with the things

(18:14):
that you all are saying, but I think that we
got to give some people some grace because there are
people right now that are just trying to survive and
that are dealing with the reality of what's happening five
feet in front of their faith and don't have a
damn clue what's happening in Texas and California.

Speaker 8 (18:29):
Yet power to do what needs to be done to
stop this train from you know, running us over. You know,
we got to press the people don't have the power
to do it. So we got to stop the I
mean pressure to people that do have these and we
do it some.

Speaker 4 (18:46):
There there's some things that there isn't any power to do.
The reality is that they they are operating immorlly within
the frame of loophole and so it's not illegal, it's
just immoral.

Speaker 5 (19:03):
How could that be a Christians?

Speaker 2 (19:06):
Oh yeah, Oh, they wrap all that up in the Christianity.
It's all wrapped up in Christianity. Oh definitely. Hold I'm
kidding a it. We need to do a home video
segment on that.

Speaker 4 (19:16):
Yeah, I was gonna say that's a that's a whole
nother session. Y'all hit me at jatination on ig. Let
me know what you think. Are the Democrats doing enough
or is this Gavin piece at least a step in
the right direction. Oh, I give with you next week all.

Speaker 2 (19:27):
I appreciate it. Jeff Johnson this week an The Morning
