Texas Politics, Third Ward Frustrations & The Viral Dating Debate | Full Episode

本站添加: 2026-05-30

[00:00:01][music] The Isaiah factor uncensored [music] starts now.

[00:00:16]Take a look at this. Residents in the Third Ward, Riverside Terrace area captured this video and sent it to the factor. They say it's proof they can't get a good night's rest in their homes near emancipation. They say when the nightclubs and bars close on the main strip, it's the adult takeover of nearby parking lots of area convenience stores.

[00:00:37]That comes with booming stereoss till the wee hours of the morning. Also, they point to damage done to property at some of their homes allegedly by the drivers.

[00:00:48]They say they wanted to stop and stop now.

[00:00:53]And joining us now to tackle this ongoing issue that we have seen in the third ward here in Houston, also Riverside Terrace, we have with us Constable Smokeoky Phillips from Precinct 7. Constable, we have heard from residents over and over again about the flow of traffic off of emancipation at local uh corner stores, convenience stores in the area, and they are saying that I I simply can't sleep at night. I can't get any rest. What do you tell those residents?

[00:01:23]>> Well, help is coming. Uh we started what I call the blue star initiative in uh in pre67 and mostly third ward area that targeted corner stores for this type of activity. Uh you know the summertime is kicking in. We're going to increase our enforcement to to tackle these stores.

[00:01:39]That store that you showed me is a store at the corner of Sophomore and Emancipation, but we also have a stores that travel across the freeway at Almeida and Sophomore. Mhm.

[00:01:49]>> So, but that store has always been an issue, ongoing issue. We try to work with the store owners. Hey, give us some teeth. Sign these trespass affidavit so we can come and arrest folks when they don't want to leave or not they're not there and they're not there just driving, not writing products or serving the store.

[00:02:05]>> So, uh it's a pragmatic approach that we're taking that's solutiondriven. Uh we don't just want to come in and write a bunch of tickets. Uh these are young folks just having a good time. We want to know, hey, have a good time, cut your music down, and probably move to your block instead of somebody else block, >> right? And and what do you tell the residents there who say, well, I mean, I've been waiting on help to arrive for a long time. And it I want it to stop now.

[00:02:31]>> Well, we we tackled it last year. Uh, and like I say, summertime's coming and we have to increase our enforcement. We will increase our enforcement uh in moving those people from these stores.

[00:02:41]We will make it happen. Now, we heard from uh Dr. Shabbaz, who's a city council member in that area, and she talked about possible uh a grant for overtime that could address this problem with the Houston Police Department coming in and precinct 7. What's the latest on that grant or do you have the details? Is that something more for the council member and it will funnel down to your department or your guys?

[00:03:09]>> Well, they say the grant money is coming. I hadn't seen any money. Uh my guys out there, they on overtime, which is actually from uh the taxpayers's budget. When I say taxpayer, the departmental budget, >> uh it's increasing. It's it's a matter of big. But to me, it's important to to tackle this issue and don't worry about the overtime issue. We can deal with that later.

[00:03:30]>> And I've seen you at many of the community meetings there in third ward right off of emancipation.

[00:03:36]Is there any way to truly control that?

[00:03:39]Because as a council member said that is a hot spot in the city of Houston.

[00:03:44]People come from out of town to go down emancipation and hit many of the bars in the nightclub. Is there anything that could be done there?

[00:03:54]>> We can put forth a traffic plan, but we don't want to deter them from coming into these people's businesses. We just want them to act right, >> uh, behave right. Uh, of course my my plan is to put debies at the stores now to keep them pushing. Then they'll go to another location or they go to another location around Houston. But with all those with the clubs there and that's the hot spot right now in Houston between Almea and uh, Emancipation. Uh, just like the old days when it was uh, uh, I think they had clubs during the old days in the 60s where people would just gather there and these they didn't have cars, a bunch of cars there, but now we have a bunch of cars. But we going to we're going to increase the enforcement to uh to knock some of these issues down because people should be able to live in the community in in in harmony, [clears throat] not without this boom boom boom noise traveling all over the community.

[00:04:41]>> And so what do you think has changed over the years that make it more of an issue now than it has been cuz like you said and many people have said online, social media, this has been a hot spot for that area for decades in Houston. So what has changed? the amount of cars now in transportation we have, the amount of cars actually that's on the road uh changes that the amount of people that live in the community that can walk to the clubs now and the amount of people that just travel to the clubs is a hot spot and people are talking about hey let's go to the Seavo let's go to the D boy let's go here let's go here let's go to 5015 let's go to the all the clubs that's around there so uh we're just going to increase our enforcement efforts uh not to just ticket a whole bunch of folks just let them understand their behavior properly.

[00:05:28]>> And of course, we don't want to send the the wrong message. It it's something uh we're not pointing the finger at the club owners. That's what they do. That's their business. What do you expect out of them? Cuz many I've seen many of them at your community meetings saying, "What can we do to make this relationship better with the community?" But what would you tell those nightclub and bar owners? What would their role be without specifically blaming them? specifically they've been they hire offduty officers I'm told now to patrol those areas inside in front of their business to keep the traffic flowing that's a good thing that helps us as far as our overtime concerned they hire offduty officers to do the work so uh >> and that would be different from just private security offduty officers with authority >> right that's a whole lot different than private security that well off duty office can they can write citations if needed they can make uh arrest of people who know doing criminal activity in front of versus a security guard holding them until the police got there. The police is already there. So, that helps a lot by those clubs to contributing to uh hiring offduty officers at their locations, not the t on duty officers that need to be in the communities patrolling or responding to calls.

[00:06:40]>> And once again, for those who are saying, I I just want relief in my community. I want to rest at night. I want it peaceful for me and my family.

[00:06:50]What would you tell them?

[00:06:52]>> Uh help is coming. Uh we're going to increase our enforcement. I talked to uh Noah Diaz, HPD chief. He was talking about the incident event that happened uh quickly at Emancipation Park last week. Uh and tons of people arrive. So we're going to we're going to increase the enforcement in that area, increase the uh the amount of patrol cars that's out there from my department and try to make these keep it keep going on. Uh we're going to hit those stores, make clear them off from the stores. That way the loud noise will be at that one store just booming all over the community. So we going we're going to put an effort out there.

[00:07:24]>> All right, Constable Smokey Phillips from precinct 7, thank you for joining us here on the factor uncensored and addressing the concerns of those who live in the community.

[00:07:33]>> Thank you.

[00:07:34]>> All right, [music] we'll be back with more Factor Uncensored in just a moment.

[00:07:38]Stick.

[00:07:57]Hey. Hey.

[00:08:18]>> [music] >> and welcome back to the Factor Uncensored. Well, the elections, well, it's in the books now and there were some surprises and a lot of disappointments for people out there.

[00:09:23]Joining us now here on the factor uncensored to discuss it we have with us talk show your host and conservative Angela Box along with state representative Ron Reynolds. So what was the most shocking well I don't know if I want to start with you Angela but I was with your guy I don't know if he's your guy or not but I was with Ken Paxton >> Tuesday night in Austin in uh Plano. In Plano I thought Dallas area. Yeah. Well, and so, uh, we were there for the watch party and it went from we're kind of nervous to we're excited. I mean, they really >> got excited at around 8:00. I mean, the AP Associated Press called it and it was a landslide victory.

[00:10:08]>> Yeah, it it it you know, Trump's I think his endorsements now he's like 100% like a I think he's like 101 endorsements that have come through. Alex Mueller included, by the way, congratulations to her. Um, the Ken Paxton story is so interesting to me and you know I cannot let me just put it this way. This should send a message to the Senate because the American people the reason that John Cornin lost I'm telling you right now if he had pushed John Thoon to get the Save America Act on the floor of the Senate to to be voted on Ken Paxton would have dropped out. He even said that it was it was actually a beautiful chess move after the primary when, you know, Cornin barely edged out Paxton and Paxton was like, "Listen, if you'll put the Save America Act and vote on it, I'll drop out of the race." And John Cornin, you know, because he realizes that Ken was going to kick his ass, was like, "Oh, of course I want to do that." Did he? No, he did not. Now, I I mean, I don't think any of us thought it was going to be this much of a blowout. But, you know, Ken Paxton, to be honest, does have a lot of negatives.

[00:11:12]>> And so, a lot of people are thinking that uh Cornin might have been the easier general election candidate. I I disagree. And um >> but for you as an individual, as a person, >> was there anything about Ken Paxton hard for you to swallow?

[00:11:29]>> No. Like I'm >> all the baggage, political, personal, business baggage, none of that made a difference. Well, I'll tell you I'll tell you what. Um I know a couple of state reps who voted to impeach Ken Paxton and I didn't I didn't I'll be honest with you. Like I I'm not really sure what I think about all that. I do know that Tony Busby did a brilliant uh closing argument and changed everybody's mind and he was not convicted. But um it it doesn't it doesn't really bother me because when you look at the level of um like I mean I guess policy has been so dumbed down like people are just just wild and out everywhere. So it's like as long as you're going to vote the right way, I'm with you. And I like Ken Paxton for that.

[00:12:15]>> And really quick, let's bring in State Representative Ron Reynolds. And full disclosure, he was a supporter of Congressman Al Green, but that just didn't go the way you expected.

[00:12:25]Christian Meny came out on top. Your thoughts and assessment of that race?

[00:12:30]>> Well, first of all, congratulations to Congressman Chris Christian Meny for his amazing victory on election night. Uh, I was very disappointed because Congressman Al Green has been a statesman and a real champion that has fought President Trump and and spoke truth to power, went against uh the comfort of others when people were afraid to file articles of impeachment.

[00:12:55]Congressman Al Green did that. He's been speaking truth to power. Uh, he's been relentless in his fight for his constituents for for basically 20 years.

[00:13:05]So, it was it was a disappointment. Uh, but but the voters spoke. they really wanted to see someone younger, more uh vibrant or progressive. And it was a a sea change. We didn't just see that with that congressional race, but we also saw it with the county judge race uh and other state rep races. So, it was a a real uh shift from the voters from the traditional seniority to a younger, more progressive uh candidate. And that's what we saw not just in Houston, but across the state and across the country.

[00:13:36]And I gotta say this, Isaiah. got to say it. Birds of a feather flock together.

[00:13:40]It's no surprise that President Trump, who was impeached, would would endorse and support and impeach uh in uh Attorney General Ken Paxton, the most corrupt attorney general in this nation.

[00:13:52]He did. We we're going to send President Trump a thank you card on November because he basically gave the election to my colleague, James Talico. It it was the it was the perfect gift because this guy has so much baggage that garbage men would be like, "This guy's too dirty for us. This guy is an adult."

[00:14:10]>> We're going to take a quick break here, guys. We'll come back and finish this conversation in just a moment on the Factor Uncensored. They're chomping at the bit to get to that part of the conversation. So stay with us here on the Factor.

[00:14:24]Ashley's >> [music] [music] >> This program is being brought to you by Jim Adler, the Texas Hammer.

[00:16:33]And welcome back to the Factor Uncensored. is still analyzing the big election on Tuesday night and what's in the future for these candidates who may have come out on top and who may have lost. We have with us Angela Box and state representative Ron Reynolds. So you guys want to get to the next race in November where James Taler Rico where oh my god I heard you know Kim Paxton call him Talico and the the crowd went crazy at Paxton's watch party but I'm like oh it's going to be an ugly race. Angela, your thoughts about those two facing off in November?

[00:17:10]>> I mean listen in my heart of hearts I wish it would have been Representative Ratchet. That would have been so much fun. But honestly, James Talerico or James Taliferico or whatever is he like he he's the embodiment of what a soy boy is. Like he is like low tea beta just very kind of a if you will and like his record is so insane. I my I I don't know which is my favorite. Him saying that, you know, he he has such such love for trans kids or, you know, the the United States flag is it's a very problematic symbol or wearing a mask in 2022 talking about how I'm just so proud that our race is going to be a meat-free race. I mean, there's just so much. And like even though Ken Paxton may have his baggage, James Taller Rico, this is not even going to be close. And it's like at least at least in 20 in 2018 we had a beta aor who had some I mean yes clown energy for days but Terrio has the clown energy of bet clown energy for days. The clown energy of bet with zero of the hype and the Democrats once again are going to be like this is the year we're going to turn Texas blue. Listen if Colin all red who I would say is not a low tea kind of a guy. I would say is a pretty masculine man. Something someone who had a had a big uh high positives if Colin all red can't win against Ted Cruz who a lot of people don't like. Does anyone think that James Taller Rico?

[00:18:42]>> I don't think so.

[00:18:43]>> I will bet a wager right now Angela that come election night Ken Paxton will be trounced. Independents moderates all despise him. You've had John Cornin who said on the record he doesn't know if he can support him. So >> he absolutely said he was going to support him after.

[00:18:58]>> This guy is trash. This guy is I've seen him as a state senator, as a state representative and attorney general. He has the worst baggage I've ever seen of any person other than Donald Trump. So So Isaiah, I really do believe that James Talerico got a gift. This guy is a is a minister. This guy is very solid.

[00:19:19]You won't find scandals in his record.

[00:19:21]uh uh adulterous, you know, scandals. He was under the investigation of the FBI.

[00:19:26]He was his his own employees turned to men. He was going to prison until Donald Trump won the presidency. So, this guy has I I believe that it's going to be a resounding victory for James Terico.

[00:19:38]Democrats are going to sweep Texas thanks to Donald Trump and meddling in his primary because Cornin would have been a very more difficult. Really quick, guys, what do you think it is that would allow and and Angela, you admit there are some issues there with with Ken Paxton and and and baggage that he brings to the table, but what is it about Republicans that would allow them to swallow that bitter pill? We interviewed a woman who came to Plano to to the watch party from Round Rock, uh, female Republican, and she said, "Well, I'm not voting for my husband. I just want to get the job done."

[00:20:14]>> Yeah. I mean, Ken Paxton has been an extremely successful attorney general, an extremely aggressive attorney general when it comes to promoting Texas first, America first, and MAGA values. And Donald Trump like he he held off for a long time. He was waiting to see if John Cornin was going to do the right thing and and and pushed John Thoon to get the Save America Act, which again makes sure only American citizens can vote and that you present a photo ID to vote, among other things. But the Democrats don't want that and neither do the swamp dwelling Republicans. And so John Cornin, who has been a a reliable rhino for like 24 years, his time is up. And no, I'm not voting for my husband. Ken Paxton is going to vote the way I want him to vote. That's all I care about.

[00:20:57]>> And really quick, 30 seconds. Ron, State Representative Reynolds, how do you get the Democrats out to vote? How do you get them motivated? are going to be fired up because Ken Paxton is the kind of person that motivates them because he's just like Donald Trump, very corrupt, antilack and brown. Okay, he's an extension of Donald Trump. Democrats would think that gets them fired up the most is Donald Trump. He's done so much to take away DEI, diversity, equity, inclusion, been anti-immigrant, anti-women, anti- pro jobs and healthcare. Democrats are fired up.

[00:21:28]We're just like we saw record turnout in the primaries when James Talerico and Jasmine Crocker were on the ballot.

[00:21:33]We're going to see a record turnout in November. Democrats will flip the Texas and it'll be blue.

[00:21:38]>> Rest in peace, Representative Ratchet.

[00:21:40]Rest in peace. [laughter] >> Thank you guys for joining us. Angela Bach, State Representative Ron Reynolds.

[00:21:45]Thank you guys. And we'll be back with more Factor Uncensored. Don't go anywhere.

[00:21:57][music] >> [music] >> And welcome back to the factor uncensored. A very disturbing investigative report from the Associated Press. Through their work, they have determined that more and more undocumented immigrants being held by the federal government, that's the United States, have taken their own lives. Disturbing trend. and they've seen that increase during the Trump administration. Joining us now here to talk about this, we have with us Cesar Espinosa with FEL. Cesar, you had a chance to take a look at that report.

[00:24:25]What were you able to determine and what did the Associated Press find?

[00:24:31]>> Well, I mean, the first thing is that this had to come through an investigative report. There is no mechanism, and I don't think uh the administration wants there to be a mechanism to track what's really happening in detention. is not only suicides, but it's, you know, bad conditions, bad water, bad food. Uh, and at the end of the day, taxpayers, you and I and everybody watching is paying for this kind of treatment. So, I think that's that's important to point out.

[00:24:58]The second thing is we see do see an uptick in a trend of people uh taking their lives now in detention uh during this administration. And it's it's super complex.

[00:25:07]>> And where is that number right now for those who are wondering?

[00:25:10]>> It's it's thousands of people that have that have done so. Uh but at the end of the day, it's in part due to the fact that um people are being in detained longer. They're experiencing different uh conditions and at the end of the day, a lot of people are doing this out of desperation. Uh there's no access to mental health services and a lot of people are already suffering. They're already being afraid of being here in the country illegally or undocumented.

[00:25:38]And then at the end of the day, you put them in detention and they're losing hope.

[00:25:42]>> And have we seen any of those suicides here in the Houston or Texas region?

[00:25:47]>> There has been reported suicides in de facility. Uh and we're unfortunately as the Trump administration continues to uh have an uplift in detentions. We're going to see that a lot more. There's centers that are being built. There's a new place in Dallas that used to be a warehouse that they're uh trying to fasttrack it and turn it into a detention center. So, the more uh people that we see in detention, the more that we're going to see this, unfortunately.

[00:26:14]>> And I'm sure the inhumane conditions that many families have complained about play a significant role in the depression. And I think people forget, okay, you're just locking them up and they're being held until they go uh to court or until they're deported. But there is in the the pressure, the fear of not knowing what's happening to you because you're not told. Many attorneys can't even get in.

[00:26:41]>> Yeah. I mean, there's so, you know, it's so complex, but let me just let me just give you a scenario. Somebody's detained. uh it could take thousands of dollars for them to uh get an attorney to even begin the process of asking for a bond uh because they immigration does not allow for you to have uh a proono attorney or state appointed attorney.

[00:27:01]You have to hire your own counsel. Then after that you get a um you you get a bond for from anywhere from an average bond right now is from $7,000 to $15,000 that you have to pay upfront. So there's no >> Now when we think about county and state charge, we think about 10%. Does that work the same way?

[00:27:18]>> That does not work. There is no bells company for immigration detention >> full price.

[00:27:23]>> Full price. And then um after that, if you are able to get out, number one, it's going to take a very long time for you to see a judge. And number two, during this time, you're going to be living in these conditions uh not seeing your family. And then by law, immigration is allowed to lie to people.

[00:27:39]They're allowed to say whatever they can to get people to cooperate. often times they say if you if you don't sign, if you don't do this, we're going to go get your family, we're going to go get your kids and things like that. And so that really takes a toll on people. Now, if somebody I want to clarify, if somebody is able to do that entire process and withstand being in detention, getting out doesn't guarantee that they're going to stay in the United States. They have to hire another attorney to now try to look for some sort of immigration relief, which can be tens of thousands of dollars for them to get to that point. What needs to be done?

[00:28:13]>> Accountability. I think that's the biggest thing. If if our local elected officials, state and federal were to at least get rep record or reports from ICE and on who's being detained, that would be really important. Number two, we need to talk about this. You know, we go, the United States is a wonderful country where we go and try to help out other countries. Why are we not helping the people here at home?

[00:28:35]>> Absolutely. Cesar Espinosa with Fel, thank you for joining [music] us. Just a tragedy and a horrible situation that we're seeing behind bars [music] here in our federal detention centers in America. We'll be back with more Factor Uncensor in just a moment. Stay with us.

[00:28:59][music] Heat.

[00:30:24]Heat.

[00:31:16]Heat. Heat. N.

[00:31:53]You're [music] watching the Isaiah Factor Uncensored and welcome back to the second half hour, the Factor Uncensored. Tonight, a tragedy out of the state of Arizona. A 38-year-old mother has taken her own life along with her two children. This is after a breakup. We get more from our expert Greg Dri. Let's get to the conversation.

[00:32:18]And joining us now here on the Factor Uncensored, we have with us Greg Dri, former law enforcement officer and security expert. Greg, just a tragedy out of Phoenix, Arizona. 38-year-old Andrea Davis uh shot and killed herself, but also killed her two children as well. A 10-month, 18-month-old, and a 10year-old. And this is after apparently a breakup with her husband. What do you know?

[00:32:44]>> Uh evidently, uh according [clears throat] to neighbors, not the police. According to neighbors, she and her husband were having some type of domestic issues. There were no recorded domestic violence calls to law enforcement, but the neighbor said they were having issues. So, she evidently tracked her husband to a local bar right down the street from their home where he was with another woman. Now, it didn't say what type of relationship he had with this woman, but they did say law enforcement did say that he knew the woman. So when she got into the bar, she the wife fired several shots, striking the woman in the back of the head. And uh then she began shooting at her husband. She missed her husband. Then she left the bar, returned home and started sending her husband text messages telling him she was going to hurt the children. And then evidently after she shot the children, she sent her husband pictures of one of the children bleeding. Then she turned the gun on herself.

[00:33:39]>> That that's that's just healing. and sad and horrible >> when you think about you're going to kill your own children and and once again she's taken her own life and police confirming everything we're saying so we're not speculating now but >> to kill your own children and to harm your husband to piss him off you send a photo of the dead child >> right >> that now you said it's it's tragic but this is evil I mean normally you [clears throat] don't yeah you don't see a pattern like this, particularly coming from women. Uh you might see it from coming from men as a suspect, but for women, you generally don't see this uh especially when they kill themselves.

[00:34:20]This was a woman that it wasn't enough for her to attack and try to kill her to kill her husband. She wanted to hurt him beyond that by taking his children away from him. And at least at least this woman had the decency to take herself out of the picture as well, you know.

[00:34:36]But it's very sad. You drag, you know, you always talk about hell has no fury like a woman scoring, but that doesn't mean you drag your children into a situation like this. You didn't even give these kids a chance at life.

[00:34:47]CDC doesn't have any official count, but many uh have put out an estimate that on average 450 victims fall [clears throat] prey to philicide. That's parents >> killing one of their children because of a domestic violence situation. 450 children a year killed by their parents.

[00:35:13]>> Well, that's an estimate. Because the other parent or significant other may be cheating. Where are we going as a society with this?

[00:35:23]>> Well, as a as a society, we're going down a dark road. All you got to do is go back to the uh cases back in throughout history like Susan Smith out of Carolina and right here in Texas, you had Andrea Yates who did the same thing.

[00:35:35]Neither one of these women killed themselves and they killed their children for different reasons, but the result was still the same. It was a loss of life for young people. Mhm. And and and so we can be clear to the viewer though, the 450 that we're we're quoting, those are specifically attributed to parents who were upset, >> right, >> about another significant other, husband or wife. And like you said, in this case with Andrea Davis in [clears throat] Phoenix, >> it's just I didn't want to say it, but you said it. It is evil to kill your children. Take pictures of them >> and send them to the father. Now I've gotten back at you and this is my revenge and now I'm going to kill myself. I mean this family will be struggling to deal with this for a long time.

[00:36:25]>> For a very long time, you know, and the husband's going to carry the burden if he was cheating. No one has said that he was out with another woman uh in the bar, but they haven't said that he was cheating. They haven't confirmed that yet. But even if let's say he was, he's got to carry the burden of that and the loss of his children. And not just the loss of his children, the images of his children uh body, you know, image of his children's bodies uh after they've been shot. And that's a terrible uh memory to have to live with for the rest of your life. and and police made it clear, and I'm not giving him an excuse, but police indicated that uh they were on the verge of getting a a separation and going their their separate ways. So, she I mean, she probably knew he was cheating already.

[00:37:12]>> Like you said, it was just like if if he was cheating, let me take that back. If he was cheating, but they were supposed to be going their separate directions.

[00:37:20]But >> the you know, she knew something was going on. That's why she went down there looking for him. You know what I mean?

[00:37:27]>> Well, you have to ask yourself, how did she know where he was? So, if he had established a a pattern before, or even if she had gone so far as to have a private investigator follow him or put a tracking device on his car, she knew exactly where to find him and she knew where to find him when he wasn't alone.

[00:37:43]>> Right.

[00:37:44]>> So, I mean, what would be your advice for families out there? They see it going down this path cuz you never know when someone is going to snap and a husband or wife, you know, may turn the tables on their own children and and and [clears throat] snuff their lives out as a result of the domestic situation that's going on in the house. I mean, are there any signs you can tell family members to look for or try to get involved, or is that something you just you have to take a hands-off approach?

[00:38:17]Well, it's not. You said it perfectly when you said you never know when someone's going to snap. If you're going through a situation, particularly domestic violence situation, you have children. You have to take the children in consideration. Their safety should come first. And if you see any hint or of a potential violence taking place in the home, you need to remove the children before you remove yourself. You also have to take in consideration if you got weapons around the house.

[00:38:38]Nobody's discussed the weapon. Where did she get the gun from? If the gun was their gun or she just went out recently and bought a gun. Uh so you have to take all those things into consideration when children are involved.

[00:38:50]>> And remember if you're going through a domestic violence situation, make sure you reach out to family members, friends, [music] try to get some help.

[00:38:58]And we have this number listed on the screen. If you need help, please call it. We'll be back with more Factor Uncensored. Don't go anywhere.

[00:39:09]More news.

[00:39:39]Heat.

[00:39:51][music] Hey, Heat.

[00:40:03]Hey. Hey. Hey.

[00:41:11]and welcome back to the Factor Uncensored. Well guys, there's a new list you have to follow and you have to meet or you could be kicked to the curb by the ladies. It's called the four sixes. Now, let's go over that list really quick. You have to have a six-pack. You have to be at least six feet tall. You have to have a six figure salary. And you have to have six inches or more in bed in order to date some women. Hey, [laughter] that's the new criteria. Can you meet it or not? That's the question. We have our guest joining us here on the Factor Uncensored Tonight to discuss this with us. We have Houston's LA Greg Dri who is a creator of a new app that women will love out there and real estate expert Jazz Leoo who is soon to be getting married. So glad guys glad to have you here on the factor on sensor. So Greg tell us about these four sixes. You brought this to me and I'm like we have got to talk about it since you're in Houston and not in Dallas.

[00:42:10]>> Yeah. Yeah. You you would come to me first [laughter] anyway. If you you go on social media and you look at all the conversations around dating and dating culture and some of the criteria, you know, they talk about how women now have become some women have become transactional in their dating habits and so >> this for that >> this for that. Exactly. So this they have established criteria and that's part of the criteria that men are discussing and that women that's the qualifications for some women.

[00:42:39]>> All right, ladies, let's bring you into this conversation. Is that on your list?

[00:42:43]Uh, do you have to have the four sixes, LA? What?

[00:42:46]>> Maybe some of those. Tallwise, [laughter] some of them. Tallwise, yeah, I'm 5'6.

[00:42:51]I'm pretty tall for a Latina. So, if I put heels on, I don't want somebody shorter than me. I'm going [laughter] to feel like I'm going to have to take care of you. Six figures probably too cuz if I'm at six figures, I'm probably going to need you to be somewhere close.

[00:43:03]>> Um, size doesn't matter to me to be honest.

[00:43:07][laughter] I mean, six inches is a six inches.

[00:43:12]Um, six-pack. No, I like kind of like dad bods.

[00:43:15]>> Uhhuh.

[00:43:16]>> So, I don't know. Yeah, maybe some of those.

[00:43:18]>> All right, Jazz, let's hear from you.

[00:43:20]What are you thinking about this list?

[00:43:22]>> Listen, everybody can have preferences, right? [laughter] Everybody's entitled to preferences, but with this, I blame social media a little bit because you're looking at these lifestyles and what you think perfection looks like and you want to attain it, right? And again, we can all have preferences. I'm not going to disclose whether my fiance checks off all four of those or not. That's that's for me to know. But for me, it does not matter. You can have the standards, yes, but it shouldn't be the end all be all cuz I would have never gone after the fiance that I have now. He was never really my type and we fell in love. So, you know, I just Yes, have preferences, but don't be so close-minded. You miss your blessing.

[00:44:00]>> Those are those perfect standards [clears throat] all across the board.

[00:44:04]>> And and [laughter] what happened to women like Jazz?

[00:44:08]>> Why aren't they on social media?

[00:44:10]Well, you can [laughter] you can actually say for both of them because both of them aren't as discriminated. See, the thing is that is a problem in modern dating today is that you can't get to women like this very easily. You have to sort through all the and and men too on that. But, you know, you have to sort through all that. It's the main reason I created the app, to help women sort through all the mess and help men sort through it as well and find and hopefully find that person just like these ladies here.

[00:44:41]>> And and tell us about that app, the name of the app and where we can find it.

[00:44:44]>> The name of the app is Rain Ri.

[00:44:47]And you can find it at rainyouorld.com.

[00:44:51]Now, this is for ladies. Men can check it out too as well. But this is an app where you you you're going out, you're dating or even in just different life situations. You can enter those situations into the app and it can give you objective solutions. The problem is generally when we talking about dating for example and relationships, we generally go to our friends, we go to our family, we can go to our co-workers to get advice, but no advice comes with our personal baggage. You keep really quick Greg. We're going to take a quick break here and we'll be back with more Factor [music] Uncensored with our guest.

[00:45:28]Open up.

[00:46:14]Heat. Heat.

[00:46:32][music] >> [music] [music] >> How are you?

[00:47:45]Hey, down.

[00:48:27]And welcome back to the factor uncensored. We're talking about the four sixes. The requirement of some women out there. Six-pack 6 in six figures and and what's the other six?

[00:48:39]>> Uh the height salary got salary. Six feet tall. Six feet tall. The other six inches are in the bed. So All right.

[00:48:47][laughter] >> No, not really. Oh, that's good. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

[00:48:52]>> Okay, really quick, Greg, pick up where you left off.

[00:48:54]>> Okay, I wanted to say that Jan brought up a good point that she doesn't discuss things about her fiance, and that's that's one of the biggest problems that people have in dating is that they live their dating lives out loud where privacy is the key. They always talk about communication, but privacy is most important. And with an app like this, it gives you that privacy. You don't have to share this information with anybody.

[00:49:13]The app is designed, we don't share your information. We don't sell it to any companies, you know. It's just there for your use to help you make better choices, not just in the dating life, but in your life, period. And Jazz, if you ever find yourself bumping heads with your fiance, is that something you would go to to get some advice where you can be confidential and not tell everybody in the street your business, friends, cuz if you tell a friend, it's going to get out.

[00:49:38]>> I see. I don't tell my friends nothing.

[00:49:40]I [laughter] don't I'm going tell you the first thing I'm going to do is I'm going to go to guard baby cuz I'm a praying woman. I got to pray so I don't have to hurt you, right? [laughter] Hurt me. I got to pray. However, then he might say, "Girl, open that rain app. I think I might be able to talk to you." I think it's great. For one, there's no judgments. You're not having to worry about people being in your business.

[00:49:58]Maybe you just tripping. Am I am I losing it? And they maybe you are losing it and that's [clears throat] it. That's all. It's also a great tool for me to push off on somebody else. I don't like being in their business. Everybody want to tell me their business. What's the advice? What what should I do? I I told them go to God. So, this is great. Now I have something. You know what? Let me send you this link. You got a [laughter] referral code that I can, you know, cuz I feel like I feel a little cross marketing going on.

[00:50:22]>> And you make you [laughter] make a great point because if you're considered the strongest person in all your friendship circles, everybody comes to you and that drains you.

[00:50:29]>> This app gives you an outlet and send them to >> and then it's giving you opinions so you can listen to it without having to hear a response cuz I can still be a little unbiased too, right? Right. And and Lala, looking at the dating scene now, what do you think the biggest problem is out there?

[00:50:46]>> Gosh. Communication, patience.

[00:50:50]>> If you don't get what you want right away, I think people are quick to >> quit and walk away rather than talk through things. Uh figure things out.

[00:50:58]Meeting in the middle. It's another >> I could go on. Let's see. [laughter] >> A lot of things. It's changed a lot.

[00:51:04]Dating is hard now.

[00:51:06]>> All right, Jazz, listen from you. What What are you hearing? because you've settled down, [laughter] >> parenting, all the things. And even just within my relationship too, there's a lot of these challenges are still going to be pretty similar. Um, but I was actually talking to someone recently about grace and we just have the lack of grace really just overall in a lot of different ways relationally, human to human, but when we're talking relationally, especially dating, you just don't give people enough grace sometime. I saw a story and they were like, "Hey, this guy was, you know, 10 minutes late and she was like on the first date." And she was like, "I'm it.

[00:51:36]That's done." You know, I'm done with it.

[00:51:37]>> Patient. you know, and and I get, you know, wanting to be timely and and, you know, showing up like that, but are what happened on the way there, right? Did they stop and get you some flowers and a and and chocolate just to that extra touch? And, you know, um there's just not that much grace. So, I think communication, like LA said, is big and lack of grace for sure.

[00:51:57]>> And really quick, close us out, Greg, with information on your website and where people can go to get that advice.

[00:52:03]>> Okay. You can find the app at rainyyouworld.com and that's rei gn, not r a i n. So it's rainyworld.com.

[00:52:12]>> All right, Greg, thank you for joining us. Lala, always a pleasure. Jazz, always a pleasure as well. And we'll be back with more Factor Uncensored in just a moment. Stay with us.

[00:52:27][music] Open.

[00:52:52]Hey. Hey.

[00:53:12]Heat. Heat.

[00:53:48]Oh no.

[00:53:56]Oh no.

[00:54:07]Heat. Heat.

[00:54:29]Heat up And welcome back to the Factor Uncensored. Once again, it's that time of year. Time for the summer blockbusters that will be hitting theaters. Now, always we expect a great one from director Christopher Dolan. His latest is The Odyssey, but it's being met by controversy. Let's talk about it tonight.

[00:55:27]Well, the guys are here. So, Sean and Todd, uh, Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey has gone from, "Oo, I can't wait to see it. I'm excited to what the hell is he doing?" And, "Oh, it's going to bomb at the box office." So, Todd, lay it out for us. What are people pissed off or nervous or concerned about?

[00:55:48]>> People are concerned about uh Leita Nango being uh cast as Helen of Troy.

[00:55:53]And in the Odyssey, it's a it's a mythological story that takes place in Greece. So people have a problem with somebody who does not look Greek playing a role designed for a Greek character, even though it's a fictitious character.

[00:56:06]A lot of people are upset. And they're upset at Nongo specifically because when Black Panther came out, she said, "Okay, we're happy that Hollywood is finally portraying Africa correctly. It's finally portraying us accurately culturally." And people are calling that hypocrisy. But I look at it like this.

[00:56:24]It's fictitious. You know, a lot of people say, "Well, what if uh Jennifer Gardner was Harry Tubman?" No, Harry Tubman is a real person. Elon Musk said, "What if we had a white person played Shakazulu?" No, Shakazulu is a real person. I get it. It's in Greece.

[00:56:36]>> What about Wait, wait, John, what about Sha?

[00:56:39]>> No, that's a bad bad, you know what I [laughter] mean? But yeah, but he's fictitious, too. But you know what I mean? Now, now we would get mad. We would get mad if they came out with a shaft and Tom Cruz a shaft. Okay. Yeah.

[00:56:50]You got me there. So I'm a hypocrite.

[00:56:54]>> I'm a hypocrite. Yeah, I had my whole spill about to go and yeah, I guess I am a hypocrite. Okay. So yeah, they got they might have a good point, but that's where it it it lies. But I don't think that the comparison to real people is accurate and that's what Elon Musk is doing. That's what a lot of people on social media are doing as well. And Todd, I didn't hear you mention Elliot Paige, also a possible controversy playing Achilles.

[00:57:21]Uh, yeah, I I'm not I didn't hear too much about that. I just heard about the Lepita situation, but movies are fictitious, you know what I mean? So, if a person plays a character and they're not from that particular gender demographic, um, if they're doing a great job and it's fictitious, that that's all that should matter. I think a lot of times people are looking for political arguments instead of looking at the art of the story. And as long as Christopher Nolan does a great job, which he has a history of doing a great job at directing uh this movie, I think that's all that should matter.

[00:57:52]>> All right, Sean, let's bring you in as a filmmaker. Your thoughts about this uh with someone of African descent playing Helen of Troy.

[00:58:03]Well, I you know, I think the first thing for me as a filmmaker and I think it's very important for other directors is people need to look different when you cast people. And sometimes pulling in different race that may not exactly be the narrative of a book or real life uh can be very healthy, but it also will come through if that actress or actor cannot really grab the audience. Denzel Washington can play almost anybody and we're going to go watch him. we're going to love him because he's so fantastic.

[00:58:35]So, um, that's first and foremost, is she a great actress? Will she pull off the role? And will she do a great job?

[00:58:42]Cuz you and I talked about Michael Jackson. He didn't look like anything like Michael Jackson to me, but I was blown away by the performance. And he became Michael Jackson.

[00:58:51]>> Yeah. You totally forgot. You totally forgot.

[00:58:54]>> Yeah.

[00:58:54]>> Yeah. Oh, absolutely. And so, and I I think it's the same case for anybody that goes in and isn't naturally designed to fit the character that we'll see her performance. I'm more concerned with Matt Damon. I'm not a big Matt Damon fan, so I I immediately go to should have been somebody else. Um, so we we'll see the performance. To me, that's most important.

[00:59:18]>> And that'll do it for the Factor on Censor tonight. Thank you for joining us here on The Factor. Remember to follow us at Isaiah Factor Uncensored on YouTube. YouTube. Subscribe to us. Also follow us on social media. And don't forget to [music] download the Foxo app.
