He'll listen to you guys. 0:12:31.520 --> 0:12:34.199 And you guys are saying the exact same thing. So 0:12:34.440 --> 0:12:38.640 it's good that we you know, look, it takes a village, 0:12:38.920 --> 0:12:42.520 you know what I'm saying, and sometimes, uh, the people 0:12:42.520 --> 0:12:44.240 in the village didn't always listen to the head of 0:12:44.280 --> 0:12:44.720 the village. 0:12:44.920 --> 0:12:46.600 It comes from the other elders. 0:12:46.640 --> 0:12:49.520 And that's what happens in our community, That's what happens 0:12:49.559 --> 0:12:52.120 within our family. And so you know, I'm glad. I'm 0:12:52.120 --> 0:12:54.480 glad you said that, Marshan. And I I'm just here 0:12:54.520 --> 0:12:56.240 to have my voice and to do what I do. 0:12:56.360 --> 0:13:01.839 Man, what was that appreciate? Whether the community? And who 0:13:01.840 --> 0:13:03.480 are the big mentors? Who are the people you looked 0:13:03.520 --> 0:13:05.120 up to in Compton growing up? 0:13:05.800 --> 0:13:09.000 First and foremost my parents, But then I mean it's 0:13:09.040 --> 0:13:12.199 just crazy the kids, you know, my boys that were 0:13:12.200 --> 0:13:15.280 in the street really yeah, you know, they had some 0:13:15.360 --> 0:13:19.120 of the most brilliant minds. If only they had directed 0:13:19.160 --> 0:13:23.320 that towards something else than the street then drugs and 0:13:23.440 --> 0:13:25.560 gangs and all that. I was like, yo, man, you 0:13:25.600 --> 0:13:28.080 can run a fortune five hundred company. I see how 0:13:28.120 --> 0:13:32.360 you're running these blocks, you know, But it's all about circumstance. 0:13:32.400 --> 0:13:35.040 So those are the guys that I looked up to 0:13:35.320 --> 0:13:37.800 and took a page from their book, and they looked 0:13:37.800 --> 0:13:39.000 out for me, you know. 0:13:39.080 --> 0:13:41.080 They made sure I stayed away from that. 0:13:41.440 --> 0:13:44.440 They supported me in every way that I could, but 0:13:44.559 --> 0:13:47.000 also were big brothers to me and was like, Yo, no, man, 0:13:47.160 --> 0:13:49.320 stay away from this shit. You know, this shit ain't 0:13:49.360 --> 0:13:51.840 for you, you know, because I wanted to get into it. 0:13:51.880 --> 0:13:53.559 I wanted to be a part of the fast money. 0:13:53.559 --> 0:13:55.160 I wanted to get the girls. I wanted to get 0:13:55.160 --> 0:13:57.520 the cars. I wanted to get all that shit. But 0:13:57.679 --> 0:13:59.920 it didn't work, and they were like no, no, no, no, no, 0:14:00.480 --> 0:14:02.160 you got a bigger future than this. 0:14:02.320 --> 0:14:04.880 It's interesting because Marshaun says the same thing about him 0:14:04.920 --> 0:14:07.320 in Oakland with the streets in terms of sports. 0:14:07.400 --> 0:14:08.880 Yeah, so it is it. 0:14:08.880 --> 0:14:11.400 Obviously they knew you were going entertainment and that was 0:14:11.440 --> 0:14:13.880 your path. Is the same way for other kids that 0:14:13.920 --> 0:14:16.520 were doing other things too, is they recognized you might 0:14:16.600 --> 0:14:18.440 have the ability to get out and like no, no, don't 0:14:18.480 --> 0:14:18.920 touch him. 0:14:19.040 --> 0:14:22.040 Yeah, that's exactly what they saw in me, what I 0:14:22.120 --> 0:14:25.960 saw in myself because again, this was a journey and 0:14:26.040 --> 0:14:28.600 the path that I started at nine years old. So 0:14:28.640 --> 0:14:30.760 these are the kids that watched me grow, you know, 0:14:30.800 --> 0:14:32.480 even though they may have been a few years older 0:14:32.520 --> 0:14:35.120 than me. They saw what I was doing. I played ball, 0:14:35.240 --> 0:14:37.440 I did all this other shit with them. But they 0:14:37.480 --> 0:14:40.120 saw me and my nickname was the actor. They were like, oh, 0:14:40.160 --> 0:14:43.440 here comes the actor. Okay, the actors here. But you know, 0:14:43.480 --> 0:14:45.560 they looked out for me. They gave me money when 0:14:45.600 --> 0:14:48.280 I needed money. They gave me cars when I needed cars, 0:14:49.160 --> 0:14:50.600 you know, to go out on dates or to go 0:14:50.680 --> 0:14:53.680 on auditions and whatnot. They made sure I was taken 0:14:53.800 --> 0:14:57.400 care of and they kept me insulated or protected from 0:14:57.480 --> 0:14:59.440 the world in which they were in even though I 0:14:59.520 --> 0:15:00.600 lived in that bubble. 0:15:00.840 --> 0:15:01.240 I love it. 0:15:01.360 --> 0:15:04.800 Yeah, Marshall, and you have a similar experience all those 0:15:04.840 --> 0:15:05.440 early years. 0:15:05.440 --> 0:15:05.640 Man. 0:15:05.960 --> 0:15:09.000 Most definitely what what the uh? What do you just 0:15:09.280 --> 0:15:11.920 describe right now? That's that's that's a saying that we'd 0:15:11.960 --> 0:15:15.880 like to say was raised by OG's and not i G. 0:15:16.480 --> 0:15:21.560 You feel i G is instagram OG's self explanatory. But 0:15:21.880 --> 0:15:23.680 you know, I mean, from from listening to you know 0:15:23.680 --> 0:15:26.000 what I mean, what he was just talking about, you 0:15:26.160 --> 0:15:30.840 have to have that type of that type of village 0:15:30.880 --> 0:15:34.720 around you, considering, you know what I mean, the conditions 0:15:34.760 --> 0:15:37.440 that you win, because at the end of the day, 0:15:38.280 --> 0:15:40.920 it's more about survival. I mean, a lot of the 0:15:41.000 --> 0:15:43.920 individuals who you know, I mean for me and I 0:15:43.960 --> 0:15:47.760 can almost contest to the same for you. A lot 0:15:47.800 --> 0:15:51.120 of those individuals, that was what they did in order 0:15:51.160 --> 0:15:55.280 to survive because that's what they knew, right the mindset 0:15:55.320 --> 0:15:57.480 and what you talked about, A lot of these could 0:15:57.480 --> 0:16:00.680 have win and ran five hundred uh fortune the companies 0:16:01.840 --> 0:16:03.840 you got the you got the brain power to do it, 0:16:04.040 --> 0:16:08.320 but your circumstances and these individuals they understand that. But 0:16:08.560 --> 0:16:10.400 for the time and where they at at that point 0:16:10.440 --> 0:16:12.800 in time, they get caught up into the you know, 0:16:12.800 --> 0:16:15.320 I mean, they get waste deep, knee deep ways deep 0:16:15.360 --> 0:16:17.600 into it. And it ain't like something you could turn 0:16:17.640 --> 0:16:20.000 your back on. Once you in that ship, once you win it, 0:16:20.080 --> 0:16:23.280 then you win it. But for the younger generation coming up, 0:16:23.400 --> 0:16:24.520 you know what I mean, you want to see them 0:16:24.560 --> 0:16:27.400 do better for you. So therefore, when you do do that, 0:16:28.160 --> 0:16:31.440 their payoff is seeing you going to put that ship 0:16:31.680 --> 0:16:35.040 into action, whether it's I mean acting, whether it's sports, 0:16:35.120 --> 0:16:36.440 you know what I mean. One thing that you said 0:16:36.480 --> 0:16:39.360 that that resonated with me was a lawyer. I'm like, damn, 0:16:39.400 --> 0:16:41.720 you was thinking beyond that's how you know. I mean, 0:16:42.160 --> 0:16:44.600 he was already outside the box before you. I mean, 0:16:44.680 --> 0:16:47.720 at nine years old, to see some shit a lot 0:16:47.760 --> 0:16:50.560 of us we don't see, and to have that type 0:16:50.560 --> 0:16:52.880 of mindset and then put it into the fact that 0:16:53.080 --> 0:16:55.400 shit if I act, you know, I mean, I could 0:16:55.400 --> 0:16:57.920 be that lawyer, I could be that doctor, I could 0:16:57.960 --> 0:17:00.760 be that motherfucking politician or whatever the case may be, 0:17:01.200 --> 0:17:03.800 and bring that ship full circle and still be able 0:17:03.800 --> 0:17:06.480 to put it on for individuals who might not see 0:17:06.480 --> 0:17:08.280 it the way that you do. But now you got 0:17:08.320 --> 0:17:10.840 to you got a different type of I mean, you 0:17:10.920 --> 0:17:14.160 say you vote black, but now you've got a different responsibility, yes, 0:17:14.119 --> 0:17:16.920 to their community, and that's to give the ism back 0:17:17.000 --> 0:17:19.320 now that you're done conquered, you know, I mean your 0:17:19.359 --> 0:17:24.000 position and where you at so hell yeah, you feel me. 0:17:26.119 --> 0:17:27.840 To top it up when you're back, man, because it's 0:17:27.840 --> 0:17:28.320 all about it. 0:17:28.480 --> 0:17:32.679 That's exactly how my Doug and I talked when we're together, exactly. 0:17:35.960 --> 0:17:41.480 Just look at the candidates. Kamala cares, cares about kids 0:17:41.520 --> 0:17:47.080 and families, cares about America. Donald only cares about himself. 0:17:51.240 --> 0:17:56.639 On her first day in court, Kamala said five words 0:17:56.720 --> 0:18:05.959 that still guide her. Kamala Harris for the people, that 0:18:06.200 --> 0:18:11.320 is something that Donald Trump will never understand. So it 0:18:11.480 --> 0:18:14.800 is no surprise, is it that he is lying about 0:18:14.880 --> 0:18:21.040 Kamala's record. He's mocking her name and her laugh sounds familiar. 0:18:25.600 --> 0:18:28.800 But we have him on the run now. 0:18:49.200 --> 0:18:52.040 I come from a state like our nation of dreamers, 0:18:52.080 --> 0:18:55.720 of doers, of entrepreneurs, of innovators, that prides itself on 0:18:55.880 --> 0:18:57.840 being on the leading and cutting edge. 0:18:57.680 --> 0:18:58.480 Of new ideas. 0:18:59.280 --> 0:19:02.480 California is the most diverse state in the world's most 0:19:02.560 --> 0:19:07.800 diverse democracy and democrats. I've had the privilege for over 0:19:07.880 --> 0:19:12.800 twenty years right to see that future taking shape. We 0:19:12.960 --> 0:19:17.520 go with a star in Alameda courtroom by the name 0:19:17.560 --> 0:19:18.480 of Kamala Harris. 0:19:20.600 --> 0:19:21.879 I saw that star. 0:19:22.920 --> 0:19:25.920 I saw that star fighting for criminal. 0:19:25.520 --> 0:19:30.920 Justice, racial justice, economic justice, social justice. I saw that 0:19:31.040 --> 0:19:35.720 star get even brighter as Attorney General of California, as 0:19:35.720 --> 0:19:39.199 a United States Senator, and as Vice President of the. 0:19:39.240 --> 0:19:40.560 United States of America. 0:19:41.320 --> 0:19:44.439 It's time for us to do the right thing, and 0:19:44.520 --> 0:19:47.920 that is to elect Kamala Harris as the next president 0:19:48.200 --> 0:19:49.360 of the United. 0:19:48.960 --> 0:19:50.119 States of America. 0:19:52.640 --> 0:19:57.480 California, we proudly passed our four hundred and eighty two 0:19:57.640 --> 0:19:59.560 votes for the next president. 0:20:00.119 --> 0:20:05.080 Come on, parents, I want to ask him question. And 0:20:05.119 --> 0:20:08.199 you may not remember this and Sean as you know 0:20:08.240 --> 0:20:10.200 as an agent, I am. I remember back in two 0:20:10.200 --> 0:20:12.560 thousand and seven, I'm with you with Justin Tucks event 0:20:13.200 --> 0:20:16.320 and we're at the bar at at before the event 0:20:16.359 --> 0:20:16.880 he had. 0:20:16.800 --> 0:20:17.320 In New York. 0:20:17.400 --> 0:20:19.440 In New York, I think you might have just had 0:20:20.400 --> 0:20:22.080 a show. Can something happened? 0:20:22.200 --> 0:20:22.400 Right? 0:20:22.480 --> 0:20:24.600 And never forget we're sitting at the bar having tequila 0:20:25.480 --> 0:20:28.960 and and you're between stuff, And tell me your mindset 0:20:29.000 --> 0:20:31.239 back then, because you're kind of you're going to your 0:20:31.240 --> 0:20:34.120 career and unlike sports where the phone might stop ringing 0:20:34.200 --> 0:20:35.320 or you got to get a try out, whatever it 0:20:35.359 --> 0:20:37.800 may be, you're between jobs. I don't know what it was, 0:20:38.080 --> 0:20:40.520 but I'll never forget. We're sitting there, you're between stuff. 0:20:40.840 --> 0:20:43.199 You don't know when the next thing's coming. So the 0:20:43.240 --> 0:20:46.400 mentality of an actor, because Marshaun's now an actor, how 0:20:46.400 --> 0:20:49.000 do you go through that process? Like I gotta I 0:20:49.040 --> 0:20:51.040 gotta do. Are you calling your agent, you're calling your 0:20:51.040 --> 0:20:52.920 manager or you're like shit, I hope something comes in. 0:20:53.119 --> 0:20:56.000 How is your mindset when you're between stuff and this. 0:20:55.920 --> 0:20:56.640 Is your livelihood? 0:20:56.680 --> 0:21:00.159 You know, it's it's all about being your authentic self, right, 0:21:00.760 --> 0:21:03.080 the industry and your agency and your managers. I don't 0:21:03.119 --> 0:21:04.879 need to call them if I'm in between gigs. They 0:21:04.880 --> 0:21:07.399 know what their job is. They know what the hustle is, 0:21:07.440 --> 0:21:09.199 and it's the hustle up the next thing for me. 0:21:09.720 --> 0:21:12.520 But for me, it was also about creating that next 0:21:12.520 --> 0:21:16.320 opportunity because if that opportunity, if I'm looking for things 0:21:16.359 --> 0:21:19.080 and things aren't being written for me, stories aren't being 0:21:19.119 --> 0:21:21.720 written about me, or about the culture that I'm from 0:21:21.960 --> 0:21:23.879 or anything that I could be a part of. I 0:21:23.960 --> 0:21:26.639 have to create those things for myself. And that's what 0:21:26.680 --> 0:21:29.880 I was able to do with my very first television show, 0:21:29.920 --> 0:21:33.200 all about the Andersons I created, you know, Blackish, and 0:21:34.240 --> 0:21:38.280 creating that with my partner Kenya Barras and telling our story. 0:21:38.520 --> 0:21:42.000 So it's just all it's about creating those opportunities for 0:21:42.080 --> 0:21:45.919 yourself and not sitting back and waiting on somebody to 0:21:46.080 --> 0:21:50.160 bring you something or create something for you that may 0:21:50.200 --> 0:21:52.159 not be right for you, and then you have to 0:21:52.160 --> 0:21:52.960 conform to that. 0:21:53.119 --> 0:21:55.480 It's like, no, I want to tell my story, you never. 0:21:55.800 --> 0:21:58.640 I mean, I love everything to say with political terms, 0:21:58.880 --> 0:22:01.560 you know, it's just not them. To experience is something 0:22:01.560 --> 0:22:04.639 to manifest decisions not conditions determine our favor in future. 0:22:05.000 --> 0:22:08.000 But this notion of having agency, I mean again, is 0:22:08.040 --> 0:22:08.399 that just? 0:22:08.480 --> 0:22:09.240 I mean, was that? 0:22:09.280 --> 0:22:12.119 And I just think it's fascinating you've had that mindset 0:22:13.520 --> 0:22:17.080 and you've had that self confidence. But ultimately what you 0:22:17.200 --> 0:22:19.920 continue to say that I think resonates mostly me and 0:22:20.119 --> 0:22:22.720 I know in terms of my appreciate for Marshan, this 0:22:22.880 --> 0:22:26.000 notion of authenticity, you keep bringing that up and just 0:22:26.320 --> 0:22:27.960 what just being yourself? 0:22:28.000 --> 0:22:31.960 I mean something again, nature nurture? Was that something Mom said? 0:22:33.000 --> 0:22:34.719 It's just how I was raised and it's just who 0:22:34.800 --> 0:22:35.120 I am. 0:22:35.160 --> 0:22:39.240 And I think that's what endures Marshan and myself to 0:22:39.280 --> 0:22:41.840 the public the way that it does. You know, they 0:22:41.880 --> 0:22:43.719 they you know, they look at Marshan, they look at 0:22:43.720 --> 0:22:45.760 myself and it's like, Yo, that's my man on the block, 0:22:45.800 --> 0:22:48.960 that's my uncle, that's my cousin, that's my family right there. 0:22:49.240 --> 0:22:53.760 And I think that's what has resonated with people around 0:22:53.800 --> 0:22:56.600 the world, in particular for me, because they see me, 0:22:56.720 --> 0:22:59.240 they see themselves up there. You know, they see someone 0:22:59.280 --> 0:23:03.159 that's unapology jady, that that's doing it their way, that 0:23:03.240 --> 0:23:06.600 doesn't mind making mistakes, you know, and we learned from 0:23:06.640 --> 0:23:09.159 those things, man, And you know, going back to you 0:23:09.160 --> 0:23:11.879 know something that Marshan was saying earlier. It's about paying 0:23:11.880 --> 0:23:14.280 it forward, you know what I'm saying, going back, you 0:23:14.280 --> 0:23:16.240 know to the cats that we grew up with, who 0:23:16.400 --> 0:23:20.199 saw something in us and invested in us so that 0:23:20.280 --> 0:23:22.600 we could be in the positions that we're in right now. 0:23:22.800 --> 0:23:26.760 So now it's my responsibility to go back and lift 0:23:26.800 --> 0:23:27.520 as I climb. 0:23:28.000 --> 0:23:30.160 You know that. That's what it's all about. And that's 0:23:30.200 --> 0:23:30.600 what I do. 0:23:30.680 --> 0:23:33.520 And I believe that's what Marshaun has been doing with 0:23:33.680 --> 0:23:35.919 you know, with his foundations. You know, I've been following 0:23:35.960 --> 0:23:38.120 your brother, I've been seeing with you. I've been I've 0:23:38.119 --> 0:23:39.920 been a fan of yours for a long time. 0:23:40.000 --> 0:23:43.520 Mann spit that ishm though y'all talking about Yeah, and 0:23:43.560 --> 0:23:46.119 then you know what I mean one thing that like, 0:23:46.200 --> 0:23:51.000 I just went. I went crabbing for the first time, Okay. 0:23:51.240 --> 0:23:54.600 I enjoyed the fucking experience like a motherfucker right. 0:23:54.960 --> 0:23:55.680 Yeahs. 0:23:55.840 --> 0:23:57.880 And as I'm catching the crabs and I'm throwing them 0:23:57.920 --> 0:24:00.760 in the burrow, you feel me, I'm damn. I was 0:24:00.800 --> 0:24:03.640 so excited about Damn, I gotta crack. Oh, I got another. 0:24:03.720 --> 0:24:05.720 I got another Oh, I got fourk pies.

I look in the 0:24:12.359 --> 0:24:16.119 in the bucket and I'm like, oh shit, this is 0:24:16.200 --> 0:24:19.200 the mentality that I heard the crab in the bucket 0:24:19.200 --> 0:24:23.000 type of situation, and that was like damn. From looking 0:24:23.040 --> 0:24:25.119 at it and actually seeing it with my own eyes, 0:24:25.160 --> 0:24:28.840 I'm like, oh fuck. It resonated to me so much 0:24:28.880 --> 0:24:31.600 on a deeper level than I'm like damn. But what 0:24:31.680 --> 0:24:33.720 it sounds like when you speak is more so your 0:24:33.720 --> 0:24:36.640 mindset and your mentality was to shake that shit. 0:24:37.160 --> 0:24:38.600 Yeah, not be you. 0:24:38.640 --> 0:24:43.800 Feem me though a prisoner of of the fucking whether 0:24:43.840 --> 0:24:46.280 it be the fucking police officer you know what I 0:24:46.359 --> 0:24:50.520 mean down the street, or the motherfucking teacher or the 0:24:50.640 --> 0:24:53.159 principal who tell you you ain't gonna be shit, that 0:24:53.240 --> 0:24:56.160 you're gonna be dead or jail by the age of eighteen, 0:24:56.359 --> 0:25:03.000 because they're so used to putting that type of fucking 0:25:03.200 --> 0:25:06.199 I'm gonna say, my fucking spelled on us because they 0:25:06.480 --> 0:25:08.560 using those words, you know what I mean, to trap 0:25:08.640 --> 0:25:11.359 our mind and to believe that shit because it was 0:25:11.440 --> 0:25:17.200 up until what I was with nineteen twenty when I'm 0:25:17.200 --> 0:25:19.520 looking at it like damn, im, I'm not in jail, 0:25:19.760 --> 0:25:21.760 nor am I nor am I dead? 0:25:22.400 --> 0:25:22.680 Right? 0:25:23.119 --> 0:25:25.320 Oh, these are extra lives that I got right now, 0:25:25.800 --> 0:25:27.880 I'm looking at it like that, like I just got 0:25:27.880 --> 0:25:30.280 a green mushro and now I got an extra life. 0:25:30.280 --> 0:25:33.800 All right, Now, I got another time to try this, 0:25:34.119 --> 0:25:35.960 you know, I mean when you talk about you know, 0:25:36.080 --> 0:25:39.000 looking at it from not making a mistake, I mean 0:25:39.040 --> 0:25:42.119 from making a mistake, being comfortable with that, knowing that 0:25:42.160 --> 0:25:44.960 motherfucker I ain't perfect.

And I realized that 0:28:56.360 --> 0:28:58.760 from the symptoms that I had when I first was 0:28:58.800 --> 0:29:02.920 diagnosed as a type two diabetic, thinking back to my childhood, 0:29:02.960 --> 0:29:05.720 my early teenage years, I was like, oh shit, that's 0:29:05.760 --> 0:29:07.840 what my dad was going through back then. 0:29:08.400 --> 0:29:11.240 But as a black man, and it's. 0:29:11.160 --> 0:29:15.560 Unfortunate that within our community, our men rarely go to 0:29:15.600 --> 0:29:18.840 the hospital unless they're appendied and appendage is falling off 0:29:18.880 --> 0:29:19.560 or something like that. 0:29:19.760 --> 0:29:21.560 But regular shit, we don't do. 0:29:21.920 --> 0:29:25.920 So I partnered with Novo Nordis to start this campaign 0:29:25.960 --> 0:29:29.520 about get real about diabetes dot com and it's just 0:29:29.640 --> 0:29:33.200 more of an informational website that people can go to 0:29:33.200 --> 0:29:36.400 to get information about being a diabetic and the things 0:29:36.400 --> 0:29:38.400 they should ask their doctors are things that they should 0:29:38.440 --> 0:29:41.080 look out for. But it's more so me traveling the 0:29:41.120 --> 0:29:46.240 country and having these conversations within our community about yo, 0:29:46.520 --> 0:29:48.920 go get yourself checked out. Man, go to the doctor 0:29:48.920 --> 0:29:50.840 because you get your oil changed in your car every 0:29:50.880 --> 0:29:53.200 three thousand miles. But you don't want to go to 0:29:53.240 --> 0:29:56.880 the doctor every six months, every four months, every quarter, 0:29:57.280 --> 0:29:59.880 you know, because if you go, because they're afraid of 0:30:00.120 --> 0:30:02.440 they might find I was like, Okay, well you go. 0:30:02.760 --> 0:30:05.440 It might be preventative, you know what I'm saying, or 0:30:05.480 --> 0:30:08.200 they may find something and it's not too late. But 0:30:08.240 --> 0:30:10.600 if you don't go at all, that's that's it. 0:30:10.680 --> 0:30:10.840 You know. 0:30:10.880 --> 0:30:13.600 I lost my father to complications from diabetes because he 0:30:13.680 --> 0:30:17.800 was undiagnosed for twenty plus years and it ravaged his life. 0:30:18.400 --> 0:30:20.840 So that he would he would have he would have. 0:30:21.000 --> 0:30:24.800 Yes, yes, yes, that's that's that's that's what it is. 0:30:25.000 --> 0:30:26.520 And another thing, I just want to go back to 0:30:26.560 --> 0:30:29.040 what Marshall was saying.

So people don't ask the 0:38:59.040 --> 0:38:59.839 I like to ask questions. 0:39:00.239 --> 0:39:01.480 I want to know what. 0:39:01.600 --> 0:39:05.200 Question you want to ask As an entertainer who was 0:39:05.239 --> 0:39:08.319 born and raised in California, who works in California, who's 0:39:08.400 --> 0:39:12.400 upset when we have to take our business out of California, 0:39:12.880 --> 0:39:13.880 I'm just curious. 0:39:14.000 --> 0:39:17.040 And this isn't your fault, this is I'm just curious. 0:39:17.040 --> 0:39:21.560 A yeah, yeah, no, I'm just curious as to why 0:39:21.600 --> 0:39:27.239 don't we have the tax incentives that Canada, Georgia, Florida, 0:39:27.680 --> 0:39:30.560 you know, all these other states have, you know, especially 0:39:30.600 --> 0:39:35.000 when Hollywood is in the backyard of California, Los Angeles. 0:39:35.080 --> 0:39:38.960 This is our industry. Why are we exporting our goods 0:39:38.960 --> 0:39:40.279 so these other places. 0:39:40.480 --> 0:39:42.640 We put our feet up, we stopped investing in our 0:39:42.719 --> 0:39:43.839 lead in the world we invent. 0:39:43.920 --> 0:39:45.799 It is competing with us all around the globe. As 0:39:45.800 --> 0:39:47.360 you know better than anybody. 0:39:47.080 --> 0:39:49.440 That said, I increase those tax and sent us at 0:39:49.440 --> 0:39:51.759 three hundred and thirty million dollars a year. We also 0:39:51.880 --> 0:39:55.400 loosened up the requirements and stipulations on how you access 0:39:55.440 --> 0:39:58.360 those tax credits, and we're looking to continue to build 0:39:58.440 --> 0:40:00.680 on that and expand them deeply. 0:40:00.920 --> 0:40:04.520 Mindel Yeah, well there's criteria for access. 0:40:04.520 --> 0:40:06.640 And by the way, shit they go to red tape. 0:40:07.000 --> 0:40:10.240 No, no, we try to eliminate the damn red tape 0:40:10.400 --> 0:40:11.600 with the new changes. 0:40:11.680 --> 0:40:12.840 Marshan, I listened. 0:40:12.920 --> 0:40:16.800 I mean again, I mean, you know, we significantly increased 0:40:16.840 --> 0:40:18.359 the poky words just a few years ago. 0:40:18.600 --> 0:40:21.040 It would literally triple where we were just okay years ago. 0:40:21.200 --> 0:40:24.080 But I agree, it's not yet near where we need 0:40:24.120 --> 0:40:25.440 to be against Georgia. 0:40:25.680 --> 0:40:26.359 Yeah, you're York. 0:40:26.520 --> 0:40:27.560 We go to these places. 0:40:27.560 --> 0:40:31.400 There's a thirty percent tax credit for tax credit. 0:40:31.560 --> 0:40:37.480 I just got finished shooting the film with I don't 0:40:37.520 --> 0:40:39.000 even know if I'm supposed to say to Night, but 0:40:39.239 --> 0:40:44.200 she with love and we went and shot the motherfucker 0:40:44.320 --> 0:40:49.319 in Winnipeg. Yeah, you know what I mean. I think 0:40:49.760 --> 0:40:51.440 I want to say it was a because I was 0:40:51.440 --> 0:40:54.440 telling somebody that I think Georgia had the best uh 0:40:54.560 --> 0:40:57.719 tax credits for you know, the entertainment space, and they 0:40:57.800 --> 0:40:59.920 was telling me, I think it was like seventy percent. 0:41:00.200 --> 0:41:02.520 It's it's it's crazy, I mean. 0:41:02.760 --> 0:41:04.080 And the problem is for us, it's a race to 0:41:04.120 --> 0:41:06.440 the bottom because the costs would be astronomical. And you 0:41:06.480 --> 0:41:11.640 look across the spectrum of issues from biotech, life science, nanotechnology, uh, 0:41:11.840 --> 0:41:16.640 obviously the AI space, everybody's chasing those incentives. And in California, 0:41:16.640 --> 0:41:19.120 I mean, I think we're trying to differentiate what's our 0:41:19.160 --> 0:41:22.000 added value the creativity to create a climate where people 0:41:22.000 --> 0:41:25.759 feel welcome, feel included, can fully express themselves, to. 0:41:25.719 --> 0:41:27.520 Continue to maintain that talent base. 0:41:27.719 --> 0:41:29.759 But it's harder and harder, and I recognize that with 0:41:29.800 --> 0:41:32.400 the bleed once folks move, and then you've got the 0:41:32.400 --> 0:41:36.239 studios yeah, out out in places like Georgia. So look, 0:41:36.280 --> 0:41:39.799 we're deeply mindful of this, and we, despite some of 0:41:39.800 --> 0:41:43.480 the budgetary constraints, maintained those commitments. 0:41:43.000 --> 0:41:45.040 And we're looking to advance them. So it's a legit question. 0:41:45.440 --> 0:41:49.799 Two more questions, How can you get into there? You know, 0:41:49.920 --> 0:41:52.040 just just just getting just getting too the tax thing. 0:41:52.160 --> 0:41:54.440 You know, California. I'm born and raised in California. It's 0:41:54.440 --> 0:41:57.680 an expensive place to live. Can you just explain to 0:41:57.719 --> 0:42:01.440 me why our state income tech is what it is 0:42:01.640 --> 0:42:05.480 and why does it continually increase in increments or whatnot 0:42:05.560 --> 0:42:07.520 compared to the rest of the country and whatnot. 0:42:07.600 --> 0:42:12.400 So the vast majority of Texans pay more in taxes 0:42:12.480 --> 0:42:13.279 than California's. 0:42:13.320 --> 0:42:15.680 Okay, uh, and they have much more money too because 0:42:15.719 --> 0:42:17.760 of the oil. Well, can we say that. 0:42:17.640 --> 0:42:19.359 There is well that that's true, and it's not. 0:42:19.280 --> 0:42:22.360 True companies that's moving out of California two. 0:42:22.520 --> 0:42:25.000 And a lot of companies in fact, moved back to California. 0:42:25.040 --> 0:42:27.880 Since twenty fourteen. We've never had more fortune five hundred 0:42:27.880 --> 0:42:29.640 companies than we do today. 0:42:29.719 --> 0:42:30.839 Actually just broke that record. 0:42:30.920 --> 0:42:32.560 That's said they can pay for that ship. 0:42:32.680 --> 0:42:39.840 Don't hold on. 0:42:39.960 --> 0:42:43.480 Hold on, Oh no, one second, I got you, I 0:42:43.480 --> 0:42:43.839 got you. 0:42:43.880 --> 0:42:47.000 What's interesting about our tax We have the most progressive 0:42:47.160 --> 0:42:51.080 tax rate ina uh. And the tax rate is the 0:42:51.200 --> 0:42:55.680 high is highest for the one percent or middle class. 0:42:55.719 --> 0:42:59.120 We're about average compared to dates. And so it's about 0:42:59.160 --> 0:42:59.600 who you're for. 0:43:00.000 --> 0:43:03.000 I'll give you an example in Florida, the one percent 0:43:03.080 --> 0:43:05.400 or tax less than the bottom twenty percent. 0:43:05.880 --> 0:43:08.000 And that's a value proposition. Think about that. 0:43:08.120 --> 0:43:11.600 And so, yes, California has a high tax rate, but 0:43:11.719 --> 0:43:15.560 not high taxes compared to many other states across suspective 0:43:15.600 --> 0:43:17.160 property tax, of sales tax, you. 0:43:17.120 --> 0:43:19.400 Look at payroll tax, you look at all of those taxes, 0:43:19.440 --> 0:43:20.400 you stack them all together. 0:43:20.640 --> 0:43:24.759 California is slightly above average, lower than some of those 0:43:24.800 --> 0:43:27.839 red states for the vast majority of our residents, but 0:43:27.920 --> 0:43:31.040 not for the one percent thirteen point three percent that 0:43:31.120 --> 0:43:34.160 you pay. So you're in that rarefied air. And that 0:43:34.239 --> 0:43:39.120 has not increased since twenty eleven. It was twenty eleven 0:43:39.160 --> 0:43:42.880 the voters approved that tax rate. The only tax increase 0:43:42.920 --> 0:43:46.120 you've had is the elimination of the state and local 0:43:46.239 --> 0:43:47.600 tax deduction. 0:43:47.560 --> 0:43:49.479 And that was a Trump tax trisp. 0:43:50.200 --> 0:43:53.160 Yeah you're anthey, real talk when Marshawn you're coming on. 0:43:53.440 --> 0:43:55.759 He was so excited, so we wanted the honest and 0:43:55.800 --> 0:43:58.000 true story.

I mean, 0:47:49.680 --> 0:47:50.800 you're always performing. 0:47:51.640 --> 0:47:53.680 You look at it just like another performance or is 0:47:53.719 --> 0:47:54.600 it just way out of the. 0:47:54.600 --> 0:47:55.759 Element normal all the same? 0:47:55.840 --> 0:47:59.160 I mean actually in sixteen I stood, you know, backstage 0:47:59.200 --> 0:48:01.560 getting ready to go on, and my heart started pounding 0:48:01.600 --> 0:48:05.080 really hard. And so I said to myself, I'm like, God, 0:48:05.200 --> 0:48:07.200 damn President the States. 0:48:08.560 --> 0:48:12.760 And I was like, yeah, that was very helpful. 0:48:13.640 --> 0:48:15.920 No, Tony, big fan of yours in terms of what 0:48:15.960 --> 0:48:18.399 you've done your whole career and so coming out here 0:48:18.520 --> 0:48:20.040 on yeah, I mean, you killed it the other day 0:48:20.320 --> 0:48:22.400 and everyone loved what you did. It's all over the 0:48:22.440 --> 0:48:23.759 internet of what you did and how you did and 0:48:23.800 --> 0:48:26.600 all that stuff. So was it in the prepared in 0:48:26.680 --> 0:48:28.680 terms of the last couple of the last year's of scandal. 0:48:28.719 --> 0:48:30.600 Coming out allows you to come out and do what 0:48:30.640 --> 0:48:31.719 you did, well, you. 0:48:31.800 --> 0:48:32.399 Kind of learn. 0:48:32.560 --> 0:48:34.880 I mean I thought doing that show, I realized that, 0:48:35.600 --> 0:48:38.360 I mean, you know, Governor like there was a certain 0:48:38.360 --> 0:48:42.680 theatricality and their performance aspect to the job of being 0:48:42.680 --> 0:48:46.239 an you know, you have to do so. I the 0:48:46.280 --> 0:48:48.840 thing that shocked me as an actor when I started 0:48:48.880 --> 0:48:51.480 doing Scandal is that people started treating me with this 0:48:51.680 --> 0:48:55.640 deference as if I was actually the president of And 0:48:55.680 --> 0:48:57.880 it freaked me out. And then I was like, Oh, 0:48:58.480 --> 0:49:01.239 everyone who assumes office is just a normal person who 0:49:01.280 --> 0:49:02.799 is doing that job and has to figure. 0:49:02.520 --> 0:49:04.040 Out how to find themselves. 0:49:04.080 --> 0:49:04.640 It's interesting. 0:49:04.719 --> 0:49:06.000 So I thought that was very interesting. 0:49:06.000 --> 0:49:09.880 And so then you know, the kind of imposter syndrome 0:49:09.880 --> 0:49:12.279 that sometimes we feel. You just go, well, no, I'm 0:49:12.320 --> 0:49:14.960 just gonna play the role because that's what I'm doing. 0:49:15.080 --> 0:49:17.000 You know. I thought that must be part of the 0:49:17.080 --> 0:49:18.719 job anyway, and you get used to it, you know. 0:49:18.760 --> 0:49:19.240 That's wild. 0:49:19.320 --> 0:49:20.440 Yeah, So what do you recommend? 0:49:20.520 --> 0:49:21.520 Acting or politics? 0:49:21.560 --> 0:49:23.480 I mean, you know, or you're gonna stay me. I 0:49:23.520 --> 0:49:25.560 gotta stay with acting. Would be no good politics. 0:49:25.640 --> 0:49:27.680 Well what do they say about politics? It's acting for 0:49:27.800 --> 0:49:28.360 ugly people. 0:49:28.400 --> 0:49:29.320 So you're good. 0:49:31.000 --> 0:49:34.120 Hardly. But so, you guys, it's an interest for me, 0:49:34.719 --> 0:49:36.879 you know, for people to put themselves out. It's such 0:49:36.880 --> 0:49:40.080 a polarized time. People are talking down talking past each other. 0:49:40.440 --> 0:49:42.560 Everybody seems to be in their camps. I mean it 0:49:42.600 --> 0:49:45.279 takes a little guts for you and your profession to 0:49:45.360 --> 0:49:49.359 come out and do something again and assert yourself. I mean, 0:49:49.400 --> 0:49:51.120 you got to really believe in this stuff. This is 0:49:51.160 --> 0:49:52.960 not yeah, I mean this is in your soul. Have 0:49:52.960 --> 0:49:55.520 you always had a political sort of bug and energy. 0:49:55.560 --> 0:49:58.839 I've always been fascinated with politics, and I've always been 0:49:58.960 --> 0:50:01.720 felt that I as soon as I had a platform 0:50:02.880 --> 0:50:05.359 that felt a bit fraudulent just for its own sake, 0:50:05.400 --> 0:50:07.319 I was like, I'm an actor or you know. But 0:50:07.440 --> 0:50:09.680 when I realized I could use it to advocate for, 0:50:10.840 --> 0:50:13.480 you know, And initially it was advocating for causes or 0:50:13.520 --> 0:50:16.400 on issues specifically. The first campaign I was ever a 0:50:16.400 --> 0:50:19.760 part of was Hillary's campaign in sixteen because they asked 0:50:19.760 --> 0:50:22.080 me to they knew I was a supporter, and then 0:50:22.120 --> 0:50:26.840 I said, sure, that sounds really interesting. So I've always 0:50:26.880 --> 0:50:29.160 been fascinated with it. But also I felt like, if 0:50:29.160 --> 0:50:32.960 you have the platform, you should have the courage to 0:50:33.040 --> 0:50:37.799 use it for what you believe it and so yeah, 0:50:37.880 --> 0:50:40.440 and the people I most respect in my world, whatever 0:50:40.480 --> 0:50:44.480 their whatever their beliefs are, you know that they they're 0:50:44.640 --> 0:50:46.719 not afraid to put themselves out there because they're worried 0:50:46.719 --> 0:50:47.960 about what someone's going to think. 0:50:48.080 --> 0:50:50.719 Or well, Tony, we always say Marshawn and I are 0:50:50.800 --> 0:50:54.040 our co host.

Because your family's obviously an unbelievable 0:51:11.120 --> 0:51:13.880 epic family in the show business, did you ever think 0:51:13.920 --> 0:51:16.319 about going into finance or or something else? 0:51:16.480 --> 0:51:19.120 Well, you know, I yeah, I'm like the third generation 0:51:19.200 --> 0:51:20.760 of entertainment industry in my family. 0:51:21.080 --> 0:51:21.600 So as a. 0:51:21.600 --> 0:51:24.640 Kid, I wanted to do anything, but I didn't know what, 0:51:25.560 --> 0:51:27.600 And then I was too young to think about what 0:51:27.640 --> 0:51:30.320 I wanted to do. But then in high school I 0:51:30.360 --> 0:51:33.560 started doing high school plays all these just because my 0:51:33.600 --> 0:51:35.160 older brother did it and I wanted to be like. 0:51:35.200 --> 0:51:38.160 Him, and immediately was bug bitting. 0:51:38.200 --> 0:51:40.640 The bug got me and I was like, oh no, 0:51:42.760 --> 0:51:45.160 so predictable and then I, you know, thank God, because 0:51:45.239 --> 0:51:47.600 it's been and now, you know, once I was able 0:51:47.600 --> 0:51:50.480 to kind of find my footing in the profession, I 0:51:50.480 --> 0:51:53.000 felt so lucky to be part of the legacy. It's right, 0:51:53.280 --> 0:51:56.319 it's a really interesting thing to to be a part 0:51:56.360 --> 0:51:59.640 of a multi generational family industry that's got. 0:51:59.480 --> 0:52:02.960 To imagine that comes with expectations. But that got to 0:52:03.000 --> 0:52:04.640 be some burden in that as well, right, it. 0:52:04.640 --> 0:52:06.960 Was it first, Yeah, it was, but I realized it 0:52:07.000 --> 0:52:08.399 was my burden to figure out. 0:52:08.520 --> 0:52:09.000 You know, like. 0:52:11.200 --> 0:52:13.960 In my twenties, before i'd kind of found my identity 0:52:14.040 --> 0:52:17.040 or my sea legs, it was. 0:52:17.160 --> 0:52:18.799 Hard having a famous last name.

I mean a lot of folks don't know 0:52:57.719 --> 0:52:59.560 much about it. How'd you get involved in this project? 0:52:59.680 --> 0:53:02.680 So I was working. 0:53:02.719 --> 0:53:04.640 I developed a movie, a movie that I directed that 0:53:04.719 --> 0:53:08.799 came in a twenty ten called Conviction, which is which 0:53:08.800 --> 0:53:10.880 It was a movie with Hillary Swank at Sam Rockwell, 0:53:11.239 --> 0:53:14.120 and it's a true story about a guy who was 0:53:14.239 --> 0:53:16.000 spent eighteen and a half years in prison for a 0:53:16.080 --> 0:53:19.200 murder he didn't commit, right, and Hillary Sam played that 0:53:19.280 --> 0:53:23.160 character in Hillary played his sister, Betty Anne Waters.

She decided, 0:53:34.480 --> 0:53:36.239 she said, if you stay alive, I will get you 0:53:36.280 --> 0:53:39.439 out of prison. And she went to high school, got 0:53:39.440 --> 0:53:41.680 a ged, went to college, went to law school, became 0:53:41.680 --> 0:53:44.319 an attorney, just to find a way to get her 0:53:44.360 --> 0:53:47.480 brother out. And she found this organization called the Innocence Project, 0:53:47.680 --> 0:53:52.000 which had pioneered the use of DNA to prove innocence. 0:53:52.560 --> 0:53:55.319 And she called Barry Shack right now, dear friend Barry Sheck, 0:53:55.360 --> 0:53:58.439 who was here last night, you know, and said, would 0:53:58.480 --> 0:54:01.680 you represent my brother, and they said, if you can 0:54:01.719 --> 0:54:06.120 find some DNA existing evidence, will maybe consider it.

I want you 0:55:48.719 --> 0:55:51.040 to ask the governor question of one thing or two 0:55:51.120 --> 0:55:53.320 things you want to ask him, really that you haven't 0:55:53.320 --> 0:55:55.799 asked it, really because. 0:55:55.000 --> 0:55:57.040 I get that all TI get I get that. 0:55:57.000 --> 0:55:59.040 All the time, and I want to hear from you 0:55:59.120 --> 0:55:59.959 what you want to ask. 0:56:00.400 --> 0:56:00.880 No, idea. 0:56:02.880 --> 0:56:05.920 How we didn't your views? How did you know this 0:56:06.239 --> 0:56:08.960 energy we all feel? How do we maintain this momentum? 0:56:08.960 --> 0:56:11.560 That's the key between Thursday night and November. 0:56:11.880 --> 0:56:14.399 We just had the Olympics. I didn't see anyone run 0:56:14.440 --> 0:56:16.799 the ninety yard dash. Yeah, I mean it was like 0:56:16.920 --> 0:56:18.920 they were at peak there running one hundred and ten 0:56:19.000 --> 0:56:21.080 yard dash. And that's got to be the mindset we 0:56:21.160 --> 0:56:23.560 talked about Hillary Clinton. You're obviously going support. We were 0:56:23.560 --> 0:56:25.640 all out there. I think we all ran the eighty 0:56:25.680 --> 0:56:28.120 yard dash. We kind of believe the punitry and the polls. 0:56:28.520 --> 0:56:30.600 They said, we're going to dial this, and we just 0:56:30.600 --> 0:56:32.000 got to dial it up when we got to keep 0:56:32.040 --> 0:56:35.319 Donald Trump on the defense, keep him on the mat. 0:56:35.360 --> 0:56:39.040 He's on the mat.
