Well, wasn't to the locker room 0:13:27.800 --> 0:13:32.400 because of behavior or something. Behavior, couldn't get no physicals, Yeah, 0:13:32.440 --> 0:13:34.360 but got the talent for show. That's how it was 0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:35.640 when me. I used to want to play sports, but 0:13:35.640 --> 0:13:37.840 I couldn't. I was always suspended in all types of stupid. 0:13:38.320 --> 0:13:40.559 And I've seen when you opposed me though, like oh 0:13:40.640 --> 0:13:47.079 like big shout him.

Because I see 0:14:13.640 --> 0:14:16.600 Atlanta is everything. Atlanta is open, Atlanta is the music scene. 0:14:16.760 --> 0:14:19.120 You run in the audi, in the studio. Huh yeah 0:14:19.200 --> 0:14:21.480 for show. I'm in a move for show, but I 0:14:21.480 --> 0:14:23.960 would be whoever. I feel like I go to them too. 0:14:24.360 --> 0:14:26.680 You feel like memphisis is as united as it should 0:14:26.720 --> 0:14:31.680 be at all. I know, man, Memphis are like for united. 0:14:31.840 --> 0:14:35.480 You can use Alouna for example, Memphis Now, I won't 0:14:35.520 --> 0:14:38.320 see nobody to win. I'm gonna pull you now something 0:14:38.360 --> 0:14:41.120 type of way. Try to tempt someone on, you, try 0:14:41.160 --> 0:14:44.960 to take something. It just Memphis. They hate too because 0:14:44.960 --> 0:14:46.680 of that. Why not just stay out the city for 0:14:46.720 --> 0:14:49.120 a while.

It's like if 0:15:00.920 --> 0:15:03.840 if if Memphis was united, y'all would easily be that 0:15:03.960 --> 0:15:06.000 next city from the South with all the talent coming 0:15:06.040 --> 0:15:08.960 from that talent too much time.

I didn't know the 0:31:07.920 --> 0:31:11.760 exact details until you know, minutes before the press conference. 0:31:12.720 --> 0:31:14.880 And even at that moment you kind of just like wait, 0:31:15.280 --> 0:31:17.760 you know what, Like you know, you just went through 0:31:17.800 --> 0:31:20.400 something and it's just like wait what you know, So 0:31:20.480 --> 0:31:25.200 you didn't know people that actually passed away until minutes before, 0:31:25.320 --> 0:31:27.720 you know, which is you know, and at the thing, 0:31:27.760 --> 0:31:29.920 it's like, you know, people pass out, you know people, 0:31:30.400 --> 0:31:33.720 you know, things happen at concerts, but something like that, 0:31:34.920 --> 0:31:42.240 it's just like, yeah, people said they are collectively, they 0:31:42.280 --> 0:31:45.680 collectively heard folks scream and help every time you stop 0:31:45.760 --> 0:31:47.880 the song to get your attention, did you did you 0:31:47.880 --> 0:31:50.640 hear any of those screams, nah man. And you know 0:31:51.080 --> 0:31:53.760 it's so crazy because I'm not I'm not artist too, Like, 0:31:53.800 --> 0:31:55.640 you know, anytime you can hear something like that, you 0:31:55.680 --> 0:31:57.920 want to stop the show. You want to make sure, 0:31:58.000 --> 0:32:00.840 you know, fans get the property and they need you know, 0:32:01.360 --> 0:32:03.920 And anytime I could see anything like that, I did, 0:32:04.000 --> 0:32:06.520 you know, you know, I stopped like a couple of 0:32:06.520 --> 0:32:09.680 times to just make sure everybody was okay, and I 0:32:09.760 --> 0:32:11.400 just really just go off the you know, the fans 0:32:11.560 --> 0:32:14.840 energy as a collective, you know, call a response. And 0:32:16.040 --> 0:32:17.840 I just didn't. I just didn't hear that. You know, 0:32:17.880 --> 0:32:21.280 I got music, I got my inears, but I just didn't. 0:32:21.320 --> 0:32:23.320 I just didn't hear that. You know, break that down 0:32:23.360 --> 0:32:25.160 a little more like Nope, nobody knows what it's like 0:32:25.720 --> 0:32:28.960 being on stage except for other artists who speak to 0:32:29.040 --> 0:32:31.880 us from that perspective of what you can see in here. 0:32:31.920 --> 0:32:33.840 It was like fifty thousand people. Yeah, I mean you 0:32:33.880 --> 0:32:37.920 got like a view, you know, feel like fifty thousand people. 0:32:38.280 --> 0:32:40.400 But it's like a see, you got lights, you got sound, 0:32:40.480 --> 0:32:42.640 you got pyro, you got you know, you got your inears, 0:32:42.640 --> 0:32:45.200 got your sound, got your mic, you know, got the music, 0:32:45.720 --> 0:32:49.160 You got bands, all type of you know, stuff going on, 0:32:49.400 --> 0:32:52.080 so it's it's hard to tell excitement from from from 0:32:52.160 --> 0:32:54.400 dangerous or to speak of course, everything kind of just 0:32:54.440 --> 0:32:56.080 sounds the same. And at the end of the day, 0:32:56.080 --> 0:32:58.760 you just hear music, you know, and when you do, 0:32:58.800 --> 0:33:02.080 you just hear amongks of things. You know, but you 0:33:02.120 --> 0:33:04.360 just when you're in the show, you just into the show. 0:33:04.360 --> 0:33:07.760 And anytime you can feel anything closely, you know, you 0:33:07.840 --> 0:33:10.400 try to like definitely get to that. So so as 0:33:10.400 --> 0:33:13.640 an artist, how much can you actually, I guess help 0:33:13.680 --> 0:33:16.400 in that position. You can only help what you can see, 0:33:16.440 --> 0:33:18.680 you know what I mean. And then what you know, 0:33:18.720 --> 0:33:21.480 whatever you's told, you know what I'm saying. Whenever it 0:33:21.520 --> 0:33:25.840 somebody tell you to stop, you just stop. But just 0:33:26.080 --> 0:33:29.560 wasn't it was It wasn't that night, huh. You know, raging. 0:33:29.840 --> 0:33:31.640 Raging has been a part of the culture, you know, 0:33:31.680 --> 0:33:34.080 of your shows. You know you didn't on this night, 0:33:34.120 --> 0:33:36.720 but in the past you've encouraged I guess the kind 0:33:36.720 --> 0:33:39.000 of energy that could have led to something like this happening. 0:33:39.720 --> 0:33:43.560 Do you think that contributed to the energy of this night? Yeah, nah, 0:33:43.680 --> 0:33:47.000 I think you know, It's something I've been working on 0:33:47.200 --> 0:33:50.000 you know, for a while, um of just creating these 0:33:50.040 --> 0:33:53.280 experiences and trying to show like the experiences happening in 0:33:53.280 --> 0:33:55.960 a safe environment. You know, us as artists, we trust 0:33:56.040 --> 0:33:58.720 you know, professionals to make sure that you know, things 0:33:58.760 --> 0:34:02.120 happen to people leave you safely, you know what I'm saying. Um. 0:34:02.160 --> 0:34:04.640 And it's not just like a regular show. You know, 0:34:04.640 --> 0:34:07.360 it felt like to me um as far as like 0:34:07.400 --> 0:34:09.680 you know, the energy people, it didn't feel like it 0:34:09.760 --> 0:34:12.000 was like you know, people didn't I don't people didn't 0:34:12.000 --> 0:34:15.480 show up there to just be harmful people just I 0:34:15.480 --> 0:34:17.000 think showed up to have a good time. And then 0:34:17.200 --> 0:34:20.479 you know, something unfortunate happened, and I think we really 0:34:20.520 --> 0:34:22.719 just got to figure out, you know what that was. 0:34:22.840 --> 0:34:25.960 You know, does raging make it harder to identify when 0:34:26.000 --> 0:34:28.920 something is going wrong in the crowd? Well, I think 0:34:29.680 --> 0:34:32.560 raging is just a you know, they have a textbook, 0:34:32.680 --> 0:34:35.120 you know definition. But you know, in the concerts and 0:34:35.680 --> 0:34:38.520 we've grown it to be just experience of having fun. 0:34:38.600 --> 0:34:42.080 It's not about just oh, harm, It's not about that. 0:34:42.160 --> 0:34:44.719 It's about just letting go and having fun. You know, 0:34:45.200 --> 0:34:48.560 help others, no, love each other. It's not about just 0:34:48.880 --> 0:34:52.719 you know, harm. That's not what it's all about. The 0:34:52.760 --> 0:34:57.239 show isn't just rambunctious for hour. You know, that's not 0:34:57.280 --> 0:34:59.680 what it is. Oh, trust me, I grew up on crunk, 0:35:00.400 --> 0:35:03.000 so you know I understand. You know, you just don't 0:35:03.040 --> 0:35:05.680 you don't want it to get two out of hand. Yeah, 0:35:05.680 --> 0:35:08.120 but you know the code. You know, the energy is high, 0:35:08.160 --> 0:35:11.040 you know, and you know, and that's why you want 0:35:11.040 --> 0:35:13.360 to just make sure that, you know, people are surrounded 0:35:13.400 --> 0:35:15.360 to make sure that people are just having the best experience. 0:35:15.480 --> 0:35:17.480 You know what I'm saying. You know, I can't say 0:35:17.520 --> 0:35:20.200 the energy is high, but you know you want to 0:35:20.400 --> 0:35:23.319 make sure that people are there for people to have 0:35:23.480 --> 0:35:25.640 like the best experience in league. Yeah, you want people 0:35:25.640 --> 0:35:27.560 to have a good time. You want people to get 0:35:27.239 --> 0:35:31.160 hurt at all. Yeah. Yeah, and God forbid passed away. 0:35:31.400 --> 0:35:33.960 And you know it's typical for you to stop a 0:35:34.040 --> 0:35:36.319 show to make sure fans in the crowd get to help, 0:35:36.800 --> 0:35:38.640 you know, they need They even footage of that night 0:35:39.080 --> 0:35:41.400 of you doing that during the set where you unable 0:35:41.480 --> 0:35:45.040 to sense like a difference in urgency this time around, 0:35:45.600 --> 0:35:48.200 I mean yeah, because you know, you stop the show, 0:35:48.280 --> 0:35:50.359 but you know, you know, if someone's gonna happen. If 0:35:50.360 --> 0:35:52.920 it's something detrimental, somebody's gonna let you know, you know, 0:35:53.160 --> 0:35:55.279 or you know, the show just stop them. And you 0:35:55.320 --> 0:35:57.160 know that just wasn't the case. You know, I just 0:35:57.280 --> 0:35:59.200 kind of stop the show. You know, you just asked. 0:35:59.239 --> 0:36:01.840 You have a call of re sponsor the fans. Um 0:36:01.880 --> 0:36:03.880 you try to, you know, generally get a response, but 0:36:04.080 --> 0:36:08.080 you know, if you don't get like a hard stop, 0:36:08.120 --> 0:36:10.880 you know, it's just you can't. You just don't. You 0:36:10.960 --> 0:36:12.840 just go off of what's going on, you know, which 0:36:12.880 --> 0:36:19.040 makes it so like so crazy because like, you know, 0:36:19.360 --> 0:36:21.440 if I feel like, if you know, anyone wouldn't know 0:36:21.440 --> 0:36:23.080 and it would have just been like it wouldn't have 0:36:23.080 --> 0:36:25.719 gotten far, you know. All Right, we got more with 0:36:25.840 --> 0:36:28.680 Travis Scott and Charlemagne there one on one conversation, so 0:36:28.719 --> 0:36:32.520 don't move. It's to Breakfast Club.

Yeah, we chopped it up yesterday, 0:36:48.160 --> 0:36:50.480 you know. Um and you know, as you can see 0:36:50.760 --> 0:36:54.319 if you've been listening, he's being very open about the situation. 0:36:54.400 --> 0:36:58.120 But at Afterworld in Houston, Texas, the tragedy that happened 0:36:58.160 --> 0:37:00.680 on November fifth at after World and US in Texas. 0:37:00.680 --> 0:37:03.200 But you can you can see his brain, you know, 0:37:03.320 --> 0:37:05.560 going on just how to make sure this never happens again. 0:37:05.600 --> 0:37:08.960 But you know, keep listening, all right, and here's part two. 0:37:09.040 --> 0:37:11.960 It's the Breakfast Club, Go Morning. What headspace were you 0:37:11.960 --> 0:37:15.640 when you posted that that initial that initial response video. 0:37:15.719 --> 0:37:17.200 I mean it was I think it has to been 0:37:17.200 --> 0:37:20.520 the night of you know, Um, so I was just 0:37:20.560 --> 0:37:23.480 in a headspace of just trying to get a communication 0:37:23.520 --> 0:37:26.720 out to my fans, you know, and I had literally 0:37:26.719 --> 0:37:29.160 no information, you know, so I was just trying to 0:37:29.160 --> 0:37:32.279 figure it out and just communicate to them. You know. Yeah. 0:37:32.320 --> 0:37:36.439 I was just reacting, just literally just to get something 0:37:36.440 --> 0:37:38.200 to the fans. You know, there's people that showed up. 0:37:39.120 --> 0:37:41.720 Do you regret that initial video? Do you regret reacting 0:37:41.719 --> 0:37:43.200 in that way or not, like not having all the 0:37:43.239 --> 0:37:46.279 information before you said something. I mean yeah, because you know, 0:37:46.360 --> 0:37:48.239 you just don't know what's going on. But at the 0:37:48.320 --> 0:37:49.759 end of the day. I don't, you know, I just 0:37:49.800 --> 0:37:51.800 wanted to get something out, you know, how my messages 0:37:51.840 --> 0:37:54.000 came out, I can't you know, I can only go 0:37:54.040 --> 0:37:56.000 off for that, you know what I know. But my 0:37:56.160 --> 0:37:59.359 Truman titches of it, you know, was really just trying 0:37:59.360 --> 0:38:02.000 to get a message across. And you know, I really 0:38:02.040 --> 0:38:04.719 wanted to just touch the fans, touching the families. You 0:38:04.760 --> 0:38:07.000 know that we here, we're grieving and we would get 0:38:07.000 --> 0:38:09.359 through this, you know, through this process. So what did 0:38:09.360 --> 0:38:12.480 you know in that first video? I mean at that time, 0:38:12.520 --> 0:38:14.320 I think we just knew that you know, people passed, 0:38:14.920 --> 0:38:17.080 you know, Um, we didn't know how you know that 0:38:17.239 --> 0:38:19.279 it was you know the news. You know, I think 0:38:19.320 --> 0:38:22.440 police came out and said something. Um, you know, you're 0:38:22.480 --> 0:38:24.040 just going off of what you're seeing in the in 0:38:24.040 --> 0:38:26.160 the in the news. You know, you don't really know nothing. 0:38:26.200 --> 0:38:28.200 And then as it did go on, you started collecting 0:38:28.200 --> 0:38:31.480 a little bit more information. They said there was they 0:38:31.480 --> 0:38:35.480 would like chaos and trampling being reported since the early afternoon, 0:38:35.840 --> 0:38:38.000 like like hours before the show even started. Were you 0:38:38.000 --> 0:38:40.520 informed of any of that ahead of time? Well? No, 0:38:40.920 --> 0:38:45.040 like um and um, you know the police he came 0:38:45.719 --> 0:38:48.319 he came in um to my trailer and you know 0:38:48.320 --> 0:38:51.640 he congratulated me on you know, the event and you know, 0:38:51.760 --> 0:38:55.120 having something like this in Houston. You let me know 0:38:55.239 --> 0:38:58.239 that this it was, you know, mishap at the merged 0:38:58.239 --> 0:39:00.120 booth earlier. You know they shut it down with they 0:39:00.120 --> 0:39:02.160 opened it back up. They she even got it under control. 0:39:02.719 --> 0:39:04.279 You know, he was gonna step out and just let 0:39:04.320 --> 0:39:06.560 us know if we need anything, you know, have a 0:39:06.560 --> 0:39:10.520 good show. That was it. You know a lot of 0:39:10.560 --> 0:39:13.160 the criticism, you know from the tragedy they say is 0:39:13.160 --> 0:39:16.400 and the poor planning and understaffing of the end of 0:39:16.440 --> 0:39:19.799 the event. As an artist, that you have any involvement 0:39:20.040 --> 0:39:22.359 in any of that, well, I mean we just as 0:39:22.400 --> 0:39:24.440 an artist, you just do the creative and for this 0:39:24.480 --> 0:39:26.000 to be my festival, you know, I got you know, 0:39:26.040 --> 0:39:29.360 bring artists you know, creatively produce it and you know 0:39:29.400 --> 0:39:31.759 we're just trusting you know, the professionals to kind of 0:39:31.760 --> 0:39:34.600 just make sure that you know, people you know taking 0:39:34.680 --> 0:39:37.000 care of and you know, leaving safely. You know, I 0:39:37.080 --> 0:39:39.840 just can control what I can on the stage and 0:39:39.880 --> 0:39:41.719 then you know you have the professionals control what they 0:39:41.760 --> 0:39:43.839 can in the crowd. You know, it's just hard because 0:39:43.880 --> 0:39:46.640 as an artist, you know, you want to have like 0:39:46.680 --> 0:39:49.759 the best shows and you want to have the best experiences, 0:39:49.840 --> 0:39:54.240 and you you know, you link with professionals to handle 0:39:54.320 --> 0:39:58.680 that side of it, you know, and you know you 0:39:58.719 --> 0:40:00.279 want to know what's going on. I think that's what 0:40:00.320 --> 0:40:03.080 we got to figure out, you know, and figure out 0:40:03.160 --> 0:40:06.640 what happened there, how that happened. You know, you spoke 0:40:06.680 --> 0:40:09.600 on the Houston Police chief. His name is that Troy Finna. 0:40:09.640 --> 0:40:12.279 He came to you and he said he voiced concerns 0:40:12.320 --> 0:40:15.200 over the crowd energy. So what did you on your 0:40:15.200 --> 0:40:17.799 team like do with that information. Well, I think that's 0:40:17.800 --> 0:40:20.919 what the media. Um, I think that's what the media said. 0:40:20.960 --> 0:40:23.480 But I think I think it read too more so 0:40:23.640 --> 0:40:26.440 that he wanted us to He knew that our crowd was, 0:40:26.600 --> 0:40:28.280 you know, the type of crowd that comes it comes 0:40:28.320 --> 0:40:30.960 to a heavy crowd. So to communicate with him if 0:40:30.960 --> 0:40:34.040 we were doing anything outside of the week's itinerary, you know, 0:40:34.840 --> 0:40:36.520 um that week we were doing like a lot of 0:40:36.560 --> 0:40:38.759 charity stuff prior to the festival, so you know the 0:40:38.920 --> 0:40:41.799 security at most of the events. But you know, he 0:40:41.840 --> 0:40:43.640 was just letting us, you know, I guess in that statement, 0:40:43.640 --> 0:40:45.279 he was just saying, if we do anything outside of 0:40:45.560 --> 0:40:49.359 what we had on our itinerary, let him know. But 0:40:49.440 --> 0:40:51.640 you know, we didn't even get to that point. You know, 0:40:51.680 --> 0:40:53.520 it's crazy, just you know, being a kicking it with 0:40:53.560 --> 0:40:54.840 you for a little bit, Like I can see that 0:40:55.600 --> 0:40:59.640 you know, this is Wayne real heavy on it. Yeah. So, 0:40:59.640 --> 0:41:05.200 so how much do you feel a sense of responsibility 0:41:05.360 --> 0:41:08.479 for what happened at night? Well, you know, fans come 0:41:08.560 --> 0:41:10.759 to have a come to the show and have a 0:41:10.760 --> 0:41:15.960 good experience, you know, Um, and I have a responsibility 0:41:16.000 --> 0:41:19.640 to figure out what happened here. I have a responsibility 0:41:19.640 --> 0:41:22.680 to figure out the solution. And hopefully this takes the 0:41:22.760 --> 0:41:27.080 first step into you know, us as artists, you know, 0:41:27.200 --> 0:41:29.840 having that more insight of what's going on. You know 0:41:29.880 --> 0:41:34.120 what I'm saying, Um, the professionals to kind of you know, 0:41:34.719 --> 0:41:37.560 surround and figure out more of an intel, whether it's tech, 0:41:37.680 --> 0:41:39.839 whether it's you know, more of a response, whether it's 0:41:40.080 --> 0:41:43.600 whatever the problem is, you know, UM, to figure out 0:41:43.640 --> 0:41:46.600 that in the future and moving forward in concert safety, 0:41:47.200 --> 0:41:49.200 make sure it just never happened again. You know. But 0:41:49.280 --> 0:41:51.960 let's talk about those professionals, like how much how much 0:41:51.960 --> 0:41:55.560 responsibility do you think like Live Nation and score more. 0:41:55.640 --> 0:41:59.160 The promoters having all of this, I mean, they do 0:41:59.239 --> 0:42:02.719 their job of you know, setting these things up. So 0:42:02.760 --> 0:42:06.319 I mean I think they when we dial into what 0:42:07.560 --> 0:42:09.759 you know, specifically happen here, I feel like, you know, 0:42:10.760 --> 0:42:12.839 even they can kind of help, you know, figure out 0:42:13.800 --> 0:42:17.640 what happened in the sense um you know. But at 0:42:17.640 --> 0:42:19.719 the end of the day, I think collectively everyone needs 0:42:19.760 --> 0:42:23.120 to just figure out the bottom line solution. But you know, 0:42:23.880 --> 0:42:26.680 especially in concert safety, you know, definitely got to have 0:42:26.920 --> 0:42:30.360 you know, make sure that you know these things are 0:42:30.520 --> 0:42:33.200 you know, done right. You think he's afestival are too 0:42:33.200 --> 0:42:36.239 big man, pifty dollars people with a lot of people 0:42:36.239 --> 0:42:40.160 for anybody to their festivals that are bigger, you know, 0:42:40.360 --> 0:42:45.920 way bigger, And you know, I just think it's not 0:42:46.000 --> 0:42:48.799 about the maximum of it. I think it's about the 0:42:48.800 --> 0:42:51.600 attension to what's going on and how it's going on. 0:42:51.640 --> 0:42:54.839 And as long as that's handle, I feel like things 0:42:54.880 --> 0:42:57.680 can be you know, can go okay, We'll be okay, 0:42:57.719 --> 0:43:00.360 you know. But if you look at it through the 0:43:00.400 --> 0:43:03.239 history of festivals, you know, um, this isn't the first 0:43:03.239 --> 0:43:05.200 time happening. It's been a long history of this, you know. 0:43:05.320 --> 0:43:08.160 So I feel like if you look at the overall 0:43:09.320 --> 0:43:12.440 you know, view of that, and you kind of like dolling, Okay, 0:43:12.520 --> 0:43:14.680 what can we do better to fix this overall for 0:43:14.800 --> 0:43:17.680 general concert safety? I think we figure out the problem, 0:43:17.760 --> 0:43:20.440 you know, um and make it better for people to 0:43:20.480 --> 0:43:25.279 have better live experiences. Live Nation reportedly agreed to end 0:43:25.320 --> 0:43:28.560 the concert early after the Houston PD and the Fire 0:43:28.600 --> 0:43:31.280 Department declared it a match casualty event, but the concert 0:43:31.320 --> 0:43:34.640 continued for another forty minutes. Was there any ever any 0:43:34.640 --> 0:43:38.480 communication to you on stage that you should in this? Well? Yeah, 0:43:38.600 --> 0:43:40.759 I mean it just told me right after you know, 0:43:40.800 --> 0:43:43.040 the guests can get off stage, you know, we're gonna 0:43:43.080 --> 0:43:44.799 end the show, you know, and that's what we did. 0:43:45.440 --> 0:43:48.839 No other than that, there was no other communication, you know, 0:43:49.040 --> 0:43:51.439 so after after the guests what you mean, Yeah, after 0:43:51.440 --> 0:43:53.440 the guests comes out, okay, we're gonna we're gonna end 0:43:53.440 --> 0:43:56.239 the show. But it wasn't a communication on why, you know. 0:43:56.520 --> 0:43:58.439 It was just you know, that's what came through my ears, 0:43:58.440 --> 0:44:02.760 you know, So they didn't say stopping. Now, know. Wow, 0:44:03.320 --> 0:44:06.040 you feel like people are forcing more responsibility on you 0:44:06.400 --> 0:44:09.880 because you are the front man, because it was astral World. 0:44:10.320 --> 0:44:12.080 Well yeah, I mean, you know, I'm gonna you know, 0:44:12.120 --> 0:44:15.080 I'm the face of the festival. You know, I'm an artist, 0:44:15.200 --> 0:44:18.520 you know. UM, so yeah, you know, the media is 0:44:19.080 --> 0:44:22.919 you know, they yeah, they want to you know, put 0:44:22.920 --> 0:44:24.399 it on me, and but at the end of the day, 0:44:24.400 --> 0:44:27.160 it's like, I don't think it's more so about that. 0:44:27.239 --> 0:44:30.840 I think it's more so about um stepping up to 0:44:30.840 --> 0:44:32.920 figure out what the problem is. And I could take that. 0:44:33.520 --> 0:44:36.120 I could take you know, stepping up to figure out 0:44:36.160 --> 0:44:38.320 what the problem is. I could take stepping into figuring 0:44:38.320 --> 0:44:40.160 out the solution that had never happened again, because that's 0:44:40.160 --> 0:44:42.880 what I generally want to do in general, even just 0:44:42.920 --> 0:44:45.759 for my community. You know. The whole idea for why 0:44:45.760 --> 0:44:48.880 I brought this festival to the city was to you know, 0:44:48.960 --> 0:44:52.239 show that Houston is something different, you know, and show 0:44:52.280 --> 0:44:54.560 that there's all different types of lives, is all different 0:44:54.600 --> 0:44:57.799 type of energy, and just bring that morale to the 0:44:57.840 --> 0:45:01.239 city and just bring that energy to the city. So 0:45:02.080 --> 0:45:04.520 I definitely want to you know, step in to figure out, 0:45:04.600 --> 0:45:06.960 you know, how can we fix this in the future, 0:45:07.320 --> 0:45:11.600 what can we do to you know, change these things. 0:45:11.640 --> 0:45:14.360 You know, do you feel like you did everything you 0:45:14.440 --> 0:45:19.600 possibly could to help in that situation? Yes, Yes, anything 0:45:19.600 --> 0:45:23.440 I physically care for sure, yes, and it just you know, 0:45:24.560 --> 0:45:27.920 if knowing you know what's going on, you know, you 0:45:27.960 --> 0:45:31.440 would just wish, you know, if you you know, couldn't 0:45:31.560 --> 0:45:37.600 something better, you know.

UM. And these people that came to 0:47:06.840 --> 0:47:09.640 the show, they are my family. And I've always had 0:47:09.680 --> 0:47:11.600 that connection to the people. I feel like they listen 0:47:11.680 --> 0:47:14.360 to the music or it came to my shows, and 0:47:14.480 --> 0:47:18.040 that's why I really, you know, it's really hard on 0:47:18.120 --> 0:47:21.600 me even just you know, t even like you know, 0:47:23.080 --> 0:47:28.840 and even because you know they ended up, they they 0:47:28.880 --> 0:47:31.799 they lost they lost their loved ones, you know, so 0:47:31.920 --> 0:47:39.520 it you know, it's it's tough. UM. I just want 0:47:39.520 --> 0:47:42.200 to always just be there for them and just always 0:47:42.200 --> 0:47:46.360 just be able to just know that I'm gonna fix this. 0:47:46.440 --> 0:47:49.400 For the future people, you know, and and fix this solution. 0:47:50.160 --> 0:47:53.520 Um and fix this problem, I mean, you know, um, 0:47:53.560 --> 0:47:56.920 and find a solution to making sure that this doesn't 0:47:56.920 --> 0:47:59.719 happen in the future. UM, and definitely be a number 0:47:59.719 --> 0:48:03.200 one of voice for this. You know. I feel like 0:48:03.200 --> 0:48:05.480 that's like one of the what we what we got 0:48:05.480 --> 0:48:08.960 to figure out because other than that, it's like, you know, 0:48:09.719 --> 0:48:13.399 the show goes on tomorrow or you know, something goes 0:48:13.680 --> 0:48:15.839 How does it? How does this get fixed? This could 0:48:15.840 --> 0:48:18.920 happen again, just happened before. Yeah, yeah, you're you're you're 0:48:18.920 --> 0:48:21.799 a father, you know, God forbid when your kids are 0:48:21.840 --> 0:48:24.719 of age, if they're in a situation like this, you 0:48:24.760 --> 0:48:28.000 know what you do put yourself in those parents shoes 0:48:28.120 --> 0:48:30.200 right now? What would what would you want to see 0:48:30.280 --> 0:48:34.600 come of this situation? If you I want to see 0:48:34.680 --> 0:48:37.120 people put their heads together. I would want to see 0:48:37.200 --> 0:48:43.279 people really figure this out, not take this lightly, you know, um, 0:48:43.640 --> 0:48:46.480 and really act on it. And that's you know, that's 0:48:46.520 --> 0:48:49.400 one of the main things that's important. I feel like 0:48:49.440 --> 0:48:51.480 they gotta just act on it. It can't just be 0:48:51.680 --> 0:48:56.360 like something that happens and it just roll over. We 0:48:56.440 --> 0:48:59.760 got to be something that's taken serious. And address seriously 0:49:00.400 --> 0:49:03.960 and things formed around it. Time and a lot of 0:49:04.320 --> 0:49:06.680 a lot of time and a lot of you know, 0:49:07.440 --> 0:49:10.120 thinking power is spent on this, you know, and really 0:49:10.239 --> 0:49:14.040 fixing you know, whatever system it just needs to be fixed, 0:49:14.080 --> 0:49:17.200 you know, from the lawsuits to the media coverage to 0:49:17.320 --> 0:49:21.440 do Do you feel like you're personally under attack? I mean, 0:49:23.080 --> 0:49:24.680 I mean yeah, I mean you see a name in 0:49:24.719 --> 0:49:30.719 it and it and it's like but you know, at 0:49:30.760 --> 0:49:32.560 the end of the day, you step in these you know, 0:49:33.040 --> 0:49:35.400 you step you want to do a festival, and you 0:49:35.480 --> 0:49:37.799 know when we want to do things and you want 0:49:37.840 --> 0:49:40.279 to build up. You know, it comes with certain things, right, 0:49:40.400 --> 0:49:43.279 So I think it's all about how you respond to it. 0:49:43.320 --> 0:49:45.080 And I think it's all about how you react, right 0:49:45.160 --> 0:49:48.759 So I could feel that way, but I think more 0:49:48.880 --> 0:49:52.080 so about it's more about how I feel about the 0:49:52.120 --> 0:49:54.880 response that I that I that I'm that I care 0:49:54.880 --> 0:49:59.440 about more so, which is you know, actually, you know, 0:49:59.600 --> 0:50:02.160 trying to step in and you know, really step up 0:50:02.640 --> 0:50:07.520 to really fixing what's happening and and really step up 0:50:07.560 --> 0:50:10.000 for the safety or concert cours or people in just 0:50:10.280 --> 0:50:15.320 live spaces period. I wonder, I wonder is there a 0:50:15.440 --> 0:50:18.080 way to even prepare for this because nobody, like you said, 0:50:18.120 --> 0:50:19.759 when you're doing the planning for a show like this, 0:50:19.920 --> 0:50:22.640 nobody is planning for this to happen. So how do 0:50:22.719 --> 0:50:24.960 you how do you even prepare for something like this 0:50:25.040 --> 0:50:28.960 step I don't know. And I feel like when we 0:50:29.080 --> 0:50:32.200 get I feel like, when it comes out a little 0:50:32.200 --> 0:50:34.080 bit more how this could have happened. I feel like 0:50:34.560 --> 0:50:38.399 that's how we can kind of attack that. But even 0:50:38.440 --> 0:50:40.600 I was thinking in ways like tech solutions. You know, 0:50:40.960 --> 0:50:44.680 people come into these festivals with these bands that only 0:50:44.760 --> 0:50:48.200 scan you in right, you have you know, we have 0:50:48.360 --> 0:50:50.399 all type of tech now that can track your heart 0:50:51.360 --> 0:50:55.320 contract your you know, oxygen levels, contracting, the sick. You 0:50:55.400 --> 0:50:57.600 can put things now if you're gonna be you know, 0:50:57.680 --> 0:51:00.320 get lost. It's all type of ways now, like that 0:51:00.440 --> 0:51:03.080 can be the band that only gets you access to 0:51:03.360 --> 0:51:05.560 entry or to the food line or two food trucks 0:51:06.000 --> 0:51:08.960 can now be solvable to helping save lives, you know, 0:51:09.840 --> 0:51:11.840 can now be more of a response to people that 0:51:11.960 --> 0:51:15.719 are now on site and on ground. Um, I feel 0:51:15.719 --> 0:51:17.959 like that could be a way, or you know, even 0:51:18.040 --> 0:51:22.319 just figuring out what the exact solution, what the exact 0:51:22.400 --> 0:51:26.680 problem of it was, and dialing more into that. I 0:51:26.760 --> 0:51:28.360 think you can kind of. I feel like there is 0:51:28.400 --> 0:51:31.759 a way. I just think it needs to be time 0:51:31.840 --> 0:51:34.880 spent on figuring that figuring that out. Have you been 0:51:34.920 --> 0:51:37.840 able to have any personal conversations with any of the 0:51:37.880 --> 0:51:41.239 families who lost levels? I was able to, Um, But 0:51:41.640 --> 0:51:43.279 you know, I just want to just respect that, you know, 0:51:43.360 --> 0:51:47.440 the privacy of the conversation. And I'm thankful for them 0:51:47.600 --> 0:51:50.560 for even allowing me to have the conversation. Yeah, how 0:51:50.880 --> 0:51:53.520 did you feel when some of the families rejected your 0:51:53.560 --> 0:51:56.920 offer to pay for the funerals? All things are understandable, 0:51:57.320 --> 0:51:59.919 and you know, at the time, they're grieving and they're 0:52:00.160 --> 0:52:03.440 trying to find understanding, and you know, they want answers, 0:52:04.040 --> 0:52:07.399 and it's not about it's not about that, you know. UM, 0:52:07.640 --> 0:52:10.239 I'm always gonna be here, you know, to want to 0:52:10.320 --> 0:52:12.680 help them, you know what I'm saying, And and it's 0:52:12.760 --> 0:52:15.839 it's not gonna you know, I gotta continue to show 0:52:15.880 --> 0:52:17.920 up for that, you know. UM, I just wanted to 0:52:17.960 --> 0:52:21.000 make sure that they knew that I was there for them, 0:52:21.120 --> 0:52:22.359 you know what I mean, and continue to be there 0:52:22.400 --> 0:52:25.400 for them. UM. I think that's just more so what 0:52:25.520 --> 0:52:30.319 it's about for that Um yeah, some people say, um, 0:52:31.280 --> 0:52:33.360 your your your music played a role in this, Like 0:52:33.440 --> 0:52:36.320 I've seen them, you know, cite lyrics, you know that 0:52:36.520 --> 0:52:38.600 encouraged just kind of behavior. I've seen him say your 0:52:38.680 --> 0:52:42.920 music is demonic and this was a satanic ritual. You 0:52:43.840 --> 0:52:46.920 think your music is to blame? I mean no, I'm 0:52:47.120 --> 0:52:49.560 I mean why, I'm a man of God. So that's 0:52:49.600 --> 0:52:53.040 the first thing first, and um, you know, so it's 0:52:53.080 --> 0:52:58.440 just yeah, that's that. And you know your music is 0:52:58.480 --> 0:53:01.839 just like self expression, you know I'm saying. And at 0:53:01.880 --> 0:53:04.319 these shows, I feel like people kind of like look 0:53:04.400 --> 0:53:06.799 at things. And if you've been the Travis Show, it's 0:53:07.680 --> 0:53:10.239 it's been different layers of shows. You know. I think 0:53:10.280 --> 0:53:13.920 people are just you know, misconceptions and taking these seeing 0:53:14.000 --> 0:53:17.160 and you know all type of things. You know. Um, 0:53:18.040 --> 0:53:21.239 and I've I've I've took pride in trying to you know, 0:53:21.880 --> 0:53:24.439 grow from where I was when I first recorded music 0:53:24.520 --> 0:53:28.319 to now where I'm going in music. Um So yeah, 0:53:28.400 --> 0:53:31.040 I just think people gotta and and that's one thing 0:53:31.120 --> 0:53:34.080 with me is just people gotta kind of you know, 0:53:34.239 --> 0:53:36.520 experience it sometimes. And I think that's what it was. 0:53:36.680 --> 0:53:38.879 You know, people were kind of like even before people 0:53:38.920 --> 0:53:41.279 were hearing about it, they come and experience it and 0:53:41.400 --> 0:53:44.080 taking away their own thing. And it's always going to 0:53:44.120 --> 0:53:47.719 be an outside opinion. But you know, for the ones 0:53:47.760 --> 0:53:49.880 that you know really believe in me and you know 0:53:50.040 --> 0:53:52.640 understand what. You know, what I'm about and what I'm doing. No, 0:53:52.800 --> 0:53:55.440 that's not That's not what I'm you know, preaching. I 0:53:55.520 --> 0:53:58.640 always preach like love, always preach you understanding. I always preach, 0:53:58.680 --> 0:54:01.839 you know, take care of your loved ones. Love each other. 0:54:02.080 --> 0:54:04.040 You know what I'm saying, Get out your ideas, never 0:54:04.160 --> 0:54:07.319 let never let yourselves be stop, you know, love one 0:54:07.360 --> 0:54:11.600 another and step into that, you know. I mean, I 0:54:11.640 --> 0:54:13.600 think that's a part of it. But the music does 0:54:13.760 --> 0:54:17.279 encourage people to be violent at these shows. I mean, 0:54:17.600 --> 0:54:19.520 I mean that's what the rage is about. I mean, 0:54:20.760 --> 0:54:24.080 most of the music is its me sometimes talking about 0:54:24.120 --> 0:54:26.480 what I see at the shows, you know what I mean. 0:54:27.360 --> 0:54:29.040 If I'm talking about the shows, you know, and so 0:54:29.160 --> 0:54:32.279 it's just that's just you know, the energy, you know 0:54:32.280 --> 0:54:35.720 what I'm saying. But the energy isn't to come and start, 0:54:36.480 --> 0:54:39.680 you know, being ultra violent and just being violent and 0:54:39.840 --> 0:54:42.000 hurting each other. That's not That's not what it's about, 0:54:42.160 --> 0:54:44.719 all right, that's part three of the conversation and one 0:54:44.760 --> 0:54:47.560 on one conversation with Charlemagne and Travis Scott and I 0:54:47.600 --> 0:54:49.920 don't move. We got more coming up. I usually we 0:54:50.080 --> 0:54:53.040 do rumors, but this is, uh, this is more important 0:54:53.200 --> 0:54:57.360 this morning, so don't move. It's the Breakfast clubal morning parting. 0:54:57.440 --> 0:55:01.560 Everybody is DJ Envy and Charlemagne the guy. We are 0:55:01.640 --> 0:55:04.399 the Breakfast Club. Now if he's just joining us, where 0:55:05.320 --> 0:55:08.920 playing back Charlomagne's one on one conversation with Travis Scott. Yeah, 0:55:09.000 --> 0:55:11.200 we sat. I sat down with Travis Scott to you know, 0:55:11.280 --> 0:55:13.759 discuss the tragedy that happened on November fifth at after 0:55:13.840 --> 0:55:17.200 World in Houston, Texas. You know, clearly not the easy conversation, 0:55:17.480 --> 0:55:19.520 and you know he wants to discuss how he can 0:55:19.920 --> 0:55:22.720 help make sure this never happens again, which he doesn't 0:55:22.719 --> 0:55:26.719 even know what that looks like yet. But here's the conversation, right, 0:55:26.800 --> 0:55:29.040 and we'll take some calls after this. Eight hundred five 0:55:29.120 --> 0:55:31.239 eight five one five one. It's the Breakfast Club. His 0:55:31.360 --> 0:55:33.440 part four, you said you're a man of God. And 0:55:33.440 --> 0:55:34.960 when I even said that, you know they say your 0:55:35.040 --> 0:55:36.960 music in Satanic. I saw the face that you made. 0:55:36.960 --> 0:55:38.439 What do you what do you think that even comes 0:55:38.480 --> 0:55:41.040 from Travis Scott is Satan and Travis scottis. I just 0:55:41.160 --> 0:55:43.600 think it's just things people collect. You know, people look 0:55:43.600 --> 0:55:45.400 at the Internet and they just collect and they look 0:55:45.440 --> 0:55:47.080 at things, and they look at visuals, and you know, 0:55:47.200 --> 0:55:50.040 we have all these theorists and people just thinking they're 0:55:50.040 --> 0:55:52.800 looking at visuals don't understand you know, just the idea 0:55:52.800 --> 0:55:55.239 of like what art maybe, or what what you're trying 0:55:55.280 --> 0:55:57.400 to do. You know, they're just making up your own message, 0:55:57.520 --> 0:55:59.560 especially when you're not out there like yelling the message 0:55:59.560 --> 0:56:03.960 all the time. You know, it's just yeah, and when 0:56:04.000 --> 0:56:06.960 they say this is a community event after a world Yeah, 0:56:07.120 --> 0:56:09.719 so they say a community event is a Satanic ritual? 0:56:09.800 --> 0:56:12.240 How does that? Yeah, It's like it's it's it's crazy 0:56:12.320 --> 0:56:14.399 because you know, it's like I do this for people 0:56:14.400 --> 0:56:15.959 to have a good time. You know, we have rides, 0:56:16.040 --> 0:56:18.440 we have games. You know, it's things for people to 0:56:18.480 --> 0:56:21.719 get off, creative experiences. It's not you know, the show 0:56:21.840 --> 0:56:23.279 is at the end of the day. You know, it's 0:56:23.360 --> 0:56:25.720 like you know and that show is just something based 0:56:25.760 --> 0:56:28.840 on on what's you know, just the's things. You know, 0:56:28.920 --> 0:56:31.560 It's not like what like why would we wake up 0:56:31.600 --> 0:56:33.520 one day and just trying to It's just that's just evil. 0:56:33.560 --> 0:56:35.440 It's not what we are part of. Not trying to 0:56:35.440 --> 0:56:36.400 be a part of that. We're trying to be a 0:56:36.440 --> 0:56:38.160 part of joy, trying to be a part of light, 0:56:38.200 --> 0:56:40.839 and trying to be a part of full blown happiness, love, 0:56:41.080 --> 0:56:44.600 you know, understanding people taking care of each other, you know, community, 0:56:44.680 --> 0:56:46.880 people to leave from these experiences and want to go 0:56:47.000 --> 0:56:50.480 out and do good. It's literally what we want, you know, 0:56:50.600 --> 0:56:53.040 we want to show them these things. You know, we 0:56:53.160 --> 0:56:55.080 put everything into it. You know, this is you know, 0:56:55.440 --> 0:56:57.320 this festival. You know, this is our third year, you know, 0:56:57.400 --> 0:56:59.920 so we try to put you know, we every year 0:57:00.200 --> 0:57:02.920 we put everything into the festival so people can enjoy it. 0:57:03.160 --> 0:57:06.840 You know. It's not about even just come perform that 0:57:07.040 --> 0:57:08.800 not that, you know, it's things for them to do 0:57:08.920 --> 0:57:12.400 all day and different artists for them to experience too. 0:57:13.440 --> 0:57:17.160 Have the trauma of just tragedy impacted your desire to 0:57:17.320 --> 0:57:23.040 perform in the future. I've always seen performances of art 0:57:23.080 --> 0:57:25.640 of healing for me. That's why I've always been so 0:57:25.800 --> 0:57:28.200 into it. You know, I don't know if you like, 0:57:28.800 --> 0:57:31.000 you know, looked at like some of the growth from 0:57:31.040 --> 0:57:33.160 where I'm trying to take performance. I've I've always tried that. 0:57:33.200 --> 0:57:34.680 I feel like it's the art of healing. I feel 0:57:34.680 --> 0:57:38.040 like it's a moment where people have a mutual understanding, 0:57:38.880 --> 0:57:41.640 you know. And I feel like the first things first 0:57:42.560 --> 0:57:45.880 before anything is that we address you know, a lot 0:57:45.920 --> 0:57:48.280 of safety concerns. I think the first things first is 0:57:48.320 --> 0:57:52.000 that because not even just for me, you don't want 0:57:52.040 --> 0:57:55.520 other you know, artists to have to go and take 0:57:55.560 --> 0:57:57.040 a part of that trauma, to take a part of 0:57:57.120 --> 0:58:00.160 that experience, take a part of that, you know, over 0:58:00.240 --> 0:58:02.240 that fear. You don't want console girls to still be 0:58:02.280 --> 0:58:03.600 a part of that fear. They want you want, you 0:58:03.640 --> 0:58:05.760 want them to feel safe, you know what I'm saying. 0:58:05.800 --> 0:58:07.680 So I think that's just the first things first. And 0:58:07.880 --> 0:58:11.920 I think once we take major steps into moving in 0:58:12.040 --> 0:58:14.040 that direction, you know, I feel like, you know, it 0:58:14.120 --> 0:58:18.040 could be cool to for people to practice that healing again, 0:58:18.240 --> 0:58:21.240 you know, and understand that. I don't think people should 0:58:21.320 --> 0:58:23.400 run away from it and shy away from it. I think, 0:58:23.960 --> 0:58:25.959 you know, it's it's a it's a form of healing, 0:58:26.080 --> 0:58:29.000 you know. You know, no matter what you do at 0:58:29.280 --> 0:58:31.560 any of your shows in the future, regardless of how 0:58:31.640 --> 0:58:34.440 much security, how much safety you put in place, you 0:58:34.480 --> 0:58:38.560 cannot control human behavior. Yeah. Yeah, you can't control forty 0:58:38.640 --> 0:58:42.240 fifty thousand people doing whatever they do. Is that's scary? 0:58:43.400 --> 0:58:46.000 I mean yeah, but you know you also put trust 0:58:46.040 --> 0:58:47.960 in the fans too to you know, just have a 0:58:48.000 --> 0:58:51.080 good time. You know, you just reinstill that, and you 0:58:51.160 --> 0:58:53.919 know you continue to practice, you know, when you're on stage, 0:58:54.000 --> 0:58:57.080 should just remind them, you know, um, and even when 0:58:57.120 --> 0:58:59.720 they're there, to just constantly have messages to remind them like, yo, 0:58:59.800 --> 0:59:01.960 look if here to have a good time, we're not here. 0:59:02.040 --> 0:59:05.560 If you see somebody you know help another you know, um. 0:59:05.760 --> 0:59:08.680 I think it's just continue to reinstill that message. I 0:59:08.800 --> 0:59:13.200 think helped that mindset if Yeah, so after a world 0:59:13.280 --> 0:59:15.080 was one of you know, several ways you gave back 0:59:15.120 --> 0:59:17.760 to Houston, do you think you've you know, lost that 0:59:17.880 --> 0:59:21.200 privilege to do that. To be honest, I haven't really 0:59:21.280 --> 0:59:23.040 like thought about that because I've just been thinking about 0:59:23.160 --> 0:59:27.000 just community healing and you know, the family's healing and 0:59:28.120 --> 0:59:30.120 you know, all those things kind of building back up. 0:59:30.640 --> 0:59:35.240 Um that that could take forever. Though, you know, I 0:59:35.240 --> 0:59:37.600 don't know if you ever truly heal yeah, from these 0:59:37.640 --> 0:59:41.680 type of situations and you know, but you know, through 0:59:41.760 --> 0:59:44.320 these things, you know, like I say, music is part 0:59:44.360 --> 0:59:48.080 of healing. And at the end of the day, um, 0:59:49.160 --> 0:59:51.880 I don't I just don't, you know, the Travis Scott 0:59:52.040 --> 0:59:56.120 show or you know, an asture or show you know, 0:59:57.160 --> 0:59:59.360 wasn't the bottom line fact that what happened here, you know? 1:00:00.080 --> 1:00:01.520 And I think we just got to figure out what 1:00:01.680 --> 1:00:05.160 that was, what happened. But you know, having a Travis 1:00:05.200 --> 1:00:08.840 Scott show and we've done shows you know, all over 1:00:09.040 --> 1:00:12.600 that wasn't the you know, what happened here? You know, 1:00:12.800 --> 1:00:14.920 something that happened here, you know, And that's why I 1:00:14.960 --> 1:00:17.520 want to fix it, because it can happen anywhere, you 1:00:17.560 --> 1:00:21.160 know what I'm saying. And I think once we get 1:00:21.240 --> 1:00:23.960 further along in that, I think, you know, you know, 1:00:24.000 --> 1:00:26.040 it'd be more a little bit more receptive. I feel, 1:00:26.560 --> 1:00:28.680 did they make you feel judged? When you see videos, 1:00:29.280 --> 1:00:31.800 you know, circulating the other artists stopping their shows like 1:00:31.880 --> 1:00:34.920 to check on fans since since after World because almost 1:00:34.960 --> 1:00:38.160 like the insinuation from other artists that like, you didn't 1:00:38.160 --> 1:00:40.680 do enough, So we don't want to be like driving 1:00:41.040 --> 1:00:43.880 I'll take it as you know, they're just taking extra precautions, 1:00:44.440 --> 1:00:47.120 you know, because it might not have been something that 1:00:48.400 --> 1:00:51.600 you know, let's running through their mind at time before, 1:00:52.320 --> 1:00:56.600 and they're just taking extra precautions to you know, make 1:00:56.640 --> 1:01:00.520 sure they don't run through the same same problems. And 1:01:00.640 --> 1:01:02.960 I could commend them for that. You know. I've always 1:01:03.000 --> 1:01:05.800 done the same thing, you know, in my prior shows 1:01:05.880 --> 1:01:08.320 and at their shows, So you know, I feel them, 1:01:08.400 --> 1:01:10.280 you know. I just think it's been a little bit 1:01:10.360 --> 1:01:14.160 more people are more capturing it now, like because of 1:01:14.240 --> 1:01:16.400 what's going on. I think that's just how the media works. 1:01:17.040 --> 1:01:20.360 If the families are the victims, never forgive you. Will 1:01:20.400 --> 1:01:22.960 you ever be able to forgive yourself? Can you live 1:01:23.040 --> 1:01:30.120 with that? No? It's tough, you know, it's real tough, 1:01:31.160 --> 1:01:34.720 m because I want them to really know that my 1:01:34.840 --> 1:01:38.360 intentions wasn't you know, it wasn't the harm their family 1:01:38.400 --> 1:01:39.640 at all. It's for them to come and have a 1:01:39.680 --> 1:01:43.320 good experience. Um. I've always feel like I have a 1:01:43.360 --> 1:01:47.000 connection with my fans, you know, through the music. I 1:01:47.080 --> 1:01:48.600 feel like when they come to see me, and it's 1:01:48.640 --> 1:01:51.160 not just like oh they're coming, they're coming in, it's 1:01:51.160 --> 1:01:54.919 like a connection. Um. And you know, sometimes not knowing 1:01:55.160 --> 1:01:58.080 you know, people not understanding like artists and where we 1:01:58.160 --> 1:02:01.480 come from that it could be the connect and you know, 1:02:01.560 --> 1:02:03.720 I would love to you know, instead of understanding and 1:02:03.920 --> 1:02:05.920 you know, for them to truly know my heart's from. 1:02:06.080 --> 1:02:08.400 You know, it didn't come for them for me to 1:02:08.520 --> 1:02:12.040 horror and it wasn't about a show to keep you 1:02:12.120 --> 1:02:14.360 know at all. You know, it's a you know, it's 1:02:14.360 --> 1:02:16.840 about for them to have you know, one of the 1:02:17.000 --> 1:02:19.320 you know, a very good time and it's just traged 1:02:19.400 --> 1:02:22.400 that it didn't turn out that way. You know. So 1:02:22.480 --> 1:02:24.760 I guess my final question, man, who do who? Who does? 1:02:25.040 --> 1:02:28.080 Who does Travis Scott? Ultimately, I guess think it is 1:02:28.120 --> 1:02:37.720 responsible for this tragedy. You know, something tragic happening here. Well, 1:02:37.800 --> 1:02:40.320 what I've just been trying to, you know, get to 1:02:40.400 --> 1:02:43.200 the bottom of it is just what happened here, how 1:02:43.280 --> 1:02:45.760 it happened here? And you know, I think the families 1:02:45.760 --> 1:02:48.440 are old, you know that I feel like, you know, 1:02:48.640 --> 1:02:51.320 the community is old that I feel like we're old 1:02:51.360 --> 1:02:53.600 that to just know what happened here. I don't want 1:02:53.600 --> 1:02:55.240 to just speak too soon. I just want to figure 1:02:55.240 --> 1:02:57.800 out what, you know, what happened. You know, you know 1:02:57.840 --> 1:03:00.560 they're going to pick this interview apart, So anything you 1:03:00.640 --> 1:03:04.000 want to say to your fans, to the family of 1:03:04.080 --> 1:03:06.760 people who lost loved ones, you know, before we get 1:03:06.800 --> 1:03:08.520 out of here. I mean, I just want to I 1:03:08.600 --> 1:03:11.960 want everyone and can just continue praying for the fans, Um. 1:03:12.080 --> 1:03:14.040 I want to continue.

I 1:03:20.200 --> 1:03:23.200 want people to continue just reaching out for healing. I 1:03:23.320 --> 1:03:26.320 think the more we try to, you know, continue to 1:03:26.400 --> 1:03:29.040 let people grieve and continue to be there for people 1:03:29.240 --> 1:03:33.000 and you know, checking more people and you know, checking 1:03:33.040 --> 1:03:36.120 on your loved ones and just you know that, you know, 1:03:36.160 --> 1:03:38.160 I think that's just like one of the most important things. 1:03:38.560 --> 1:03:42.120 You know, UM, stand strong through this while we you know, 1:03:42.920 --> 1:03:45.720 figure out what's going on, you know, and and bring 1:03:45.880 --> 1:03:48.720 understanding to these families and to the communities.

My father was 1:05:15.520 --> 1:05:18.920 an entrepreneurgro did everything from owning a fish market, the construction, 1:05:19.080 --> 1:05:21.200 the selling narcotics. It is what it is, It was 1:05:21.280 --> 1:05:23.160 what it was. My mother kept a book in my face. 1:05:23.240 --> 1:05:25.440 I read everything from my book of Bible stories to 1:05:25.560 --> 1:05:28.680 all you there, God, it's me Margaret.

I explained it 1:05:55.200 --> 1:05:57.440 on this week's Bring Idiot's podcast. Go listen. Now, what's 1:05:57.520 --> 1:05:59.520 my point here? My point here is that I come 1:05:59.640 --> 1:06:02.600 from the dirt all right, South Carolina, eight foot three 1:06:02.640 --> 1:06:04.560 all day. That is always in me. Therefore I would 1:06:04.560 --> 1:06:07.200 always love the ratchetness of life, even at forty two 1:06:07.280 --> 1:06:10.080 years old, married with three kids and a receding headline. 1:06:10.240 --> 1:06:13.160 I love ratchetness. I still do hood rat things with 1:06:13.240 --> 1:06:15.440 my friends. We just do it at our houses are 1:06:15.520 --> 1:06:17.480 on vacation when the kids go to sleep. But the 1:06:17.520 --> 1:06:20.000 reason I'm giving myself donkey of to day is because 1:06:20.040 --> 1:06:24.120 this morning, when I was here by myself, I was 1:06:24.200 --> 1:06:28.320 talking about the domestic terrorists that you know hit the capitol, 1:06:28.400 --> 1:06:30.160 you know, Vanilla isis And I was still on a 1:06:30.360 --> 1:06:34.560 high after listening to all these good country wrap tunes 1:06:34.680 --> 1:06:37.960 this morning on title, and I feel I feel stupid. 1:06:38.000 --> 1:06:41.120 Just listen to how I've been sounding this morning. I've 1:06:41.160 --> 1:06:43.240 talked my way out of enough home invasions to know 1:06:43.840 --> 1:06:45.840 when something is a setup. Okay. I don't even know 1:06:46.320 --> 1:06:48.680 who the trust in government anymore, but I know who 1:06:49.440 --> 1:06:53.640 I do trust, and that's no damn body, okay. Period. 1:06:54.520 --> 1:06:56.360 And for some reason I started to saying, that's on cryp. 1:06:56.400 --> 1:06:57.600 But I'm not a cript. I don't even know why 1:06:57.600 --> 1:06:59.320 the hell I would even say something like that. All right, 1:06:59.360 --> 1:07:01.800 truth all again. Out there, I'm driving in this morning, 1:07:01.800 --> 1:07:03.920 I heard you shout out all the gangs. Then I 1:07:03.960 --> 1:07:05.360 don't know why I said, I'm gonna be asking you, 1:07:05.920 --> 1:07:07.280 you know how I feel aboudy be talking like that's 1:07:07.400 --> 1:07:08.680 im crip, and I don't think about it like I 1:07:08.720 --> 1:07:10.479 ain't even know crip. Why am I saying I'm walking 1:07:10.520 --> 1:07:12.880 in blue dollar gangs though, Mellow, I don't know what's 1:07:12.880 --> 1:07:19.360 going on the Pallo. We held it down for the 1:07:19.440 --> 1:07:23.800 morning while everybody wasn't there. Man appreciate that it's about time. 1:07:24.000 --> 1:07:25.800 I don't know who died it made Ju six nine, 1:07:25.800 --> 1:07:30.000 but I don't know who died and made me six nineties. 1:07:30.040 --> 1:07:32.960 And Mellow, there's quite a three problems with all those statements. 1:07:33.080 --> 1:07:34.840 Number One, I don't gang bang, never having my life. 1:07:34.880 --> 1:07:36.880 I'm not a crip, not a blood either. I'm nothing. 1:07:36.960 --> 1:07:38.919 I'm a man who has therapy to day at three pm. 1:07:39.080 --> 1:07:41.320 I'm a man who is scared to order a protein 1:07:41.360 --> 1:07:43.919 shake from around the corner here and hearing Triedbecca's because 1:07:43.920 --> 1:07:45.440 I feel like they keep giving me whole milk and 1:07:45.520 --> 1:07:47.360 not owning milk, and I don't have time to spend. 1:07:47.440 --> 1:07:49.920 I was on the toilet today and I get dairy bumps. 1:07:50.040 --> 1:07:52.120 My point was saying all of this and the reason 1:07:52.200 --> 1:07:54.160 I'm giving myself donkey that this is because I just 1:07:54.240 --> 1:07:57.280 feel stupid and donkey today. It's all about giving people 1:07:57.320 --> 1:07:59.280 to credit they deserve for being stupid. If you read 1:07:59.360 --> 1:08:01.880 my first book, the New York Times best selling Black Privilege, 1:08:01.880 --> 1:08:03.919 and you know, one of my laws in my book 1:08:04.080 --> 1:08:06.760 was always give people to credit they deserve for being stupid, 1:08:06.800 --> 1:08:09.200 including yourself. And that's what I'm doing right now. The 1:08:09.280 --> 1:08:11.760 reason I feel stupid is because I was writing in 1:08:11.840 --> 1:08:14.240 the work this morning, listening to the New South playlists 1:08:14.280 --> 1:08:16.120 on the title bro.

Okay, 1:08:22.400 --> 1:08:24.320 I'm from South Carolina, the eight four three eight or 1:08:24.360 --> 1:08:26.080 three eight six four. When you come from a certain environment, 1:08:26.200 --> 1:08:28.439 there is a certain energy that is always in you. 1:08:28.520 --> 1:08:30.560 And when you listen to certain music, certain music is 1:08:30.640 --> 1:08:33.360 so powerful and it would just have you feeling like 1:08:33.960 --> 1:08:37.599 you something you're not.

But generally 1:12:20.960 --> 1:12:23.599 I spend as much my time as I can helping 1:12:23.680 --> 1:12:25.920 us think about where we're going, what we need to 1:12:26.000 --> 1:12:27.760 do better, what we need to double down on because 1:12:27.760 --> 1:12:31.840 it's going well, and building the team to help us 1:12:31.880 --> 1:12:33.760 get it done. Let's get to the nity gritty because 1:12:33.760 --> 1:12:35.400 I saw a lot of people on social media when 1:12:35.400 --> 1:12:37.719 you said you would coming here. They have questions, Please 1:12:37.840 --> 1:12:41.559 bring them. Let's discuss the election first, right because, as 1:12:41.600 --> 1:12:44.080 you know, there's a lot of fake news that was 1:12:44.160 --> 1:12:46.120 going around, and there were a lot of issues with 1:12:46.200 --> 1:12:48.880 Facebook with fake news. You know, how do you guys 1:12:48.960 --> 1:12:52.200 take responsibility for your platforms with COVID, with fake news 1:12:52.280 --> 1:12:55.040 and things like that happening, making sure that that information 1:12:55.240 --> 1:12:59.439 doesn't get spread out. Social media as a technology isn't 1:12:59.680 --> 1:13:03.120 good and it isn't bad. It just is. And social 1:13:03.160 --> 1:13:06.599 media specifically is a great amplifier in a lot of ways, 1:13:06.640 --> 1:13:08.760 and it can amplify good and it can amplify bad, 1:13:09.240 --> 1:13:12.160 and so it's our responsibility to do all we can 1:13:12.240 --> 1:13:14.439 to amplify the good and mitigate the bad. And you 1:13:14.520 --> 1:13:18.240 see both spread on the platform, right. You saw the 1:13:18.479 --> 1:13:21.120 Black Lives Matter movement spread on social media. You saw 1:13:21.240 --> 1:13:23.320 me too spread on social media. But you also see 1:13:23.320 --> 1:13:26.479 things like misinformation spread on social media. And so we 1:13:26.680 --> 1:13:29.000 try to figure out all the different things that we 1:13:29.120 --> 1:13:33.240 can do to identify problems and address them and then 1:13:33.280 --> 1:13:35.320 also rethink the core of what we do and how 1:13:35.360 --> 1:13:39.080 we do it to create better outcomes. And that work 1:13:39.200 --> 1:13:41.680 never ends. And so I mean you brought up a 1:13:41.680 --> 1:13:44.920 couple of different things there, but on misinformation specifically, what 1:13:45.080 --> 1:13:48.080 we do is we work with third party fact checkers, 1:13:48.160 --> 1:13:49.840 So people who do this for a living, who do 1:13:49.920 --> 1:13:53.479 this for publications, we give them access to what's shared 1:13:53.479 --> 1:13:55.360 on the platform, and they can dispute things. They can 1:13:55.400 --> 1:13:58.240 say that this isn't true and here's a link to why. 1:13:58.920 --> 1:14:01.040 And when that happens, we reduce the spread of that 1:14:01.400 --> 1:14:03.479 when we label things and we give people links to 1:14:03.520 --> 1:14:06.160 good information but we don't take it off the platform 1:14:06.400 --> 1:14:09.280 entirely unless there's a safety risk. So for things like 1:14:09.439 --> 1:14:12.560 COVID nineteen or vaccine related misinformation, we just stick it 1:14:12.640 --> 1:14:15.040 off the platform entirely. So at this point we spend 1:14:15.400 --> 1:14:18.120 billions of dollars a year and there are tens of 1:14:18.200 --> 1:14:21.839 thousands of people between the engineers, the reviewers, and everything 1:14:21.920 --> 1:14:26.400 else focused on safety. How liable should social media platforms 1:14:26.479 --> 1:14:28.680 be in regards to lawsuits, like if I want to 1:14:28.720 --> 1:14:31.559 sue somebody for sland our deformation, should I be able 1:14:31.600 --> 1:14:35.439 to name the social media platform? Yeah? So this is 1:14:35.439 --> 1:14:38.640 actually one of the big legal debates right now. Right 1:14:38.680 --> 1:14:40.280 and here in the US they talk a lot about 1:14:40.320 --> 1:14:45.880 Section to thirty, which gives technology platforms essentially no liability, 1:14:45.960 --> 1:14:49.040 but the people who post that content are liable in 1:14:49.120 --> 1:14:51.040 different countries around the world that that may not be 1:14:51.120 --> 1:14:53.080 the case. Actually it isn't the case. Yea. South Africa 1:14:53.160 --> 1:14:55.599 don't play. Yeah, no, a lot of Europe they don't play. 1:14:56.120 --> 1:14:58.360 And so the thing that I think is that it's 1:14:58.400 --> 1:15:02.720 important that company needs are held to account to take 1:15:02.840 --> 1:15:05.680 measures to keep people safe. But I don't think we 1:15:05.720 --> 1:15:07.880 can go all the way to have a social media 1:15:07.920 --> 1:15:10.160 platform be accountable for every single thing that is said 1:15:10.200 --> 1:15:12.040 on that platform by every person, because they're over a 1:15:12.120 --> 1:15:16.040 billion people on Instagram at this point, and there's there's 1:15:16.080 --> 1:15:17.760 no version of that where there aren't going to be 1:15:18.840 --> 1:15:22.400 people with problematic opinions, racists, et cetera are going to 1:15:22.439 --> 1:15:23.640 show up. I'm not going to check that at the 1:15:23.720 --> 1:15:26.160 door when they open up Instagram. But I do think 1:15:26.200 --> 1:15:28.040 that doesn't mean that we can just you know, wipe 1:15:28.040 --> 1:15:30.960 a hand. The question is where are we on that spectrum? 1:15:31.120 --> 1:15:32.680 What do you say to people that say that, you know, 1:15:33.320 --> 1:15:36.559 social media, Instagram per se, it's really affecting people's mental 1:15:36.680 --> 1:15:40.280 where people are are you know, thinking of committing suicide 1:15:40.439 --> 1:15:44.080 and you know, having problems in school and self esteem 1:15:44.439 --> 1:15:46.960 and all of those things due to that platform. So 1:15:47.040 --> 1:15:48.960 there's a range here, and I think they are all 1:15:49.000 --> 1:15:52.240 really important questions. There are problems that are really acute, 1:15:52.320 --> 1:15:55.800 right So if you are struggling with self injury or suicide, 1:15:55.880 --> 1:15:58.280 that is I mean, that's high stakes, that's really problematic. 1:15:58.400 --> 1:16:00.320 And we've done a lot of work in that area 1:16:00.400 --> 1:16:03.360 to try and be thoughtful about what we share, like 1:16:03.520 --> 1:16:06.840 getting people access to good information or to help. So, 1:16:06.960 --> 1:16:09.560 for instance, right now, if we think you are a 1:16:09.680 --> 1:16:12.639 risk to yourself, we will do it, will direct uture 1:16:12.680 --> 1:16:15.400 resources or even in some extreme cases resources to you. 1:16:15.680 --> 1:16:17.160 How do you report that? Right in the reason I'm 1:16:17.320 --> 1:16:19.200 stopping you there, Let's say you have a family member 1:16:19.240 --> 1:16:22.880 that goals and it's off doing some wild still a 1:16:22.960 --> 1:16:25.800 lot of times them themselves don't know that they're doing 1:16:25.840 --> 1:16:27.920 wild stuff, but a family member might. How does that 1:16:28.000 --> 1:16:30.680 family member report that to Instagram and say, Hey, my 1:16:30.840 --> 1:16:32.800 sisters doing this, or my aunt is doing this, or 1:16:32.880 --> 1:16:35.360 my brother is doing this. How does that work? So 1:16:35.479 --> 1:16:39.240 in every post, be a photo, video or anything else 1:16:39.320 --> 1:16:41.960 on Instagram, you can always report something. There's a little 1:16:42.000 --> 1:16:43.760 dot dot Do you really check it? Because sometimes I 1:16:43.840 --> 1:16:46.280 feel like it doesn't get checked because there's so many 1:16:46.320 --> 1:16:48.479 people that make fake MV pages. I feel like every 1:16:48.560 --> 1:16:53.320 day we've got room number, we definitely check it. But 1:16:53.560 --> 1:16:57.639 the challenge is the truth is the reports are actually 1:16:57.840 --> 1:17:01.040 mostly not of things that are problem. There's a ton 1:17:01.120 --> 1:17:02.400 of people who are like, I don't like the way 1:17:02.400 --> 1:17:04.120 I look in this photo, and I'm going to report it. 1:17:04.280 --> 1:17:07.479 Oh my god, Yeah, it's it's actually the vast Oh, 1:17:08.000 --> 1:17:10.639 it's the vast majority, which is imagine that, Yeah, which 1:17:10.680 --> 1:17:13.320 is why we can't rely only on the reports. We 1:17:13.400 --> 1:17:16.040 definitely check the reports. We prioritize them, right, So if 1:17:16.360 --> 1:17:18.840 someone's reporting someone's a risk to themselves, we're gonna look 1:17:18.880 --> 1:17:22.479 at that much faster than someone's reporting something as being nudity, 1:17:22.520 --> 1:17:26.799 for instance. But we have to also build technology ourselves 1:17:26.880 --> 1:17:28.559 to go out and try and identify things, because if 1:17:28.600 --> 1:17:30.639 someone's going to be a risk to themselves, that's where 1:17:30.640 --> 1:17:32.960 you're going live and you're talking about hurting yourself. We 1:17:33.040 --> 1:17:35.240 don't want to wait for someone to hopefully report that. 1:17:35.840 --> 1:17:37.640 By the way, we don't have a religious opinion on 1:17:37.680 --> 1:17:39.759 the female nipple. The reason why we don't allow nudaty 1:17:39.800 --> 1:17:42.439 on Instagram is because it is actually a safety issue 1:17:42.520 --> 1:17:45.639 because we can't verify age and we can't verify consent. 1:17:46.080 --> 1:17:48.920 I think social media sometimes protects biggest though, it protects 1:17:48.960 --> 1:17:52.439 biggest in regard to racism homophobia, because I've posted videos 1:17:52.479 --> 1:17:55.560 of like racists getting punched in the face right for 1:17:55.680 --> 1:17:59.080 blatantly being racist, and then Instagram we'll remove it. We 1:17:59.200 --> 1:18:01.719 definitely make mistake. We also take a lot of flak 1:18:01.800 --> 1:18:03.400 for letting people say a lot of crap that we 1:18:03.400 --> 1:18:07.000 don't necessarily agree with in general, we're gonna try and 1:18:07.640 --> 1:18:10.160 bias towards letting people say what they want on the platform, 1:18:10.439 --> 1:18:13.400 and we try to only take content down when there's 1:18:13.400 --> 1:18:16.720 a safety risk. Should the FCC regulate social media like 1:18:16.840 --> 1:18:20.080 they do radio and TV? They can, and they should. 1:18:20.200 --> 1:18:23.400 I think regulation is important. I think that social media 1:18:24.120 --> 1:18:27.280 is too big to not have governments have an opinion 1:18:27.360 --> 1:18:30.160 about what should and should not be. Okay. Now, the 1:18:30.280 --> 1:18:33.599 type of regulation, though, is particularly important. Some regulation could 1:18:33.600 --> 1:18:37.160 be really helpful, particularly clarifying what is and what is 1:18:37.240 --> 1:18:39.160 not you know, a certain problem out of content type. 1:18:39.200 --> 1:18:42.400 So for instance, we have a hate speech policy. Hate 1:18:42.439 --> 1:18:45.960 speech protects people based on nine different types of traits, 1:18:46.000 --> 1:18:48.479 so you know, race, gender, religion, the things you would expect. 1:18:48.760 --> 1:18:51.120 That's our definition. But you have to be careful because 1:18:51.160 --> 1:18:54.360 if you get too aggressive with regulation, or you write 1:18:54.400 --> 1:18:57.560 regulation in certain ways, you might incentivize social platforms to 1:18:57.640 --> 1:18:59.360 censor more. Right, if you're going to find them a 1:18:59.400 --> 1:19:01.599 big amount every time they make a mistake and that's 1:19:01.640 --> 1:19:03.600 something up, they're going to take down more because this 1:19:03.680 --> 1:19:06.120 is their financial interest to do so. Now, another question 1:19:06.160 --> 1:19:08.000 I have. You were talking about wanting to make sure 1:19:08.040 --> 1:19:09.439 I saw you said that you wanted to make sure 1:19:09.439 --> 1:19:12.800 that creatives actually start making more money on Instagram, and 1:19:12.880 --> 1:19:14.800 I know they have like the tips that you can 1:19:14.880 --> 1:19:16.960 do on YouTube and things like that. Yeah, what are 1:19:17.040 --> 1:19:19.599 some ways that you guys? I see the Instagram ads 1:19:19.640 --> 1:19:21.840 you can also sign up for, which I'm not one 1:19:21.880 --> 1:19:23.360 hundred percent share what that is. So if you want 1:19:23.360 --> 1:19:26.640 to explain how people can make money on Instagram, and 1:19:26.720 --> 1:19:29.439 there's a range of ways we can help creators make 1:19:29.479 --> 1:19:34.000 a living. Largely they fall into three categories. The first 1:19:34.840 --> 1:19:38.200 is essentially commerce, So you can do branded content, right, 1:19:38.240 --> 1:19:41.040 so you get paid by a brand off of Instagram 1:19:41.160 --> 1:19:42.680 or off of Facebook, and then you do a deal 1:19:42.760 --> 1:19:45.120 and your post on Instagram to promote whatever that is. 1:19:45.479 --> 1:19:47.559 But then we also need to do things that allow 1:19:47.760 --> 1:19:52.080 people to pay the creators that they love directly, right, 1:19:52.160 --> 1:19:56.240 So we're interested in things like tipping. So we've got 1:19:56.360 --> 1:19:58.719 badges for instance, when you go live right now exploring 1:19:58.720 --> 1:20:01.840 if we can support subscripe. Maybe you could have a 1:20:01.920 --> 1:20:03.559 group of people who pay you five bucks a month 1:20:03.600 --> 1:20:05.920 and you get them exclusive content that only they get, 1:20:06.000 --> 1:20:08.240 and you can do that right through Instagram. It's almost 1:20:08.240 --> 1:20:09.880 like the only fans type of thing where you can 1:20:09.920 --> 1:20:12.519 have a subscription, but now the stuff that they subscribe to, 1:20:12.680 --> 1:20:14.519 can you put whatever you want up there now? Because 1:20:14.560 --> 1:20:16.639 you know who your subscribers are, right, you know their age. 1:20:16.840 --> 1:20:18.439 It's almost like you could take that now, you can 1:20:18.479 --> 1:20:21.280 show a nipple, you know, because you know who your 1:20:21.280 --> 1:20:23.679 subscribers are. All right, yes and no, So if there's 1:20:23.680 --> 1:20:25.320 a safety issue, we're still going to have to take 1:20:25.360 --> 1:20:27.960 it down. But I mean, for instance, we do do 1:20:28.160 --> 1:20:30.479 age gating for certain types of content, so things like 1:20:30.760 --> 1:20:33.600 today tobacco, that kind of thing. So we could we 1:20:33.640 --> 1:20:35.800 could we could explore that we haven't actually talked about 1:20:35.800 --> 1:20:40.200 that morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela yee shall I 1:20:40.280 --> 1:20:42.120 mean the guy we are the Breakfast Club was still 1:20:42.160 --> 1:20:44.640 kicking in with Adam Mosseri, the head of Instagram. Is 1:20:44.680 --> 1:20:45.880 it a trick to it? Though? You know, at a 1:20:45.880 --> 1:20:47.160 lot of people are like, hey, it's a trick when 1:20:47.160 --> 1:20:48.960 I post my videos because sometimes I post a video 1:20:49.040 --> 1:20:50.519 or picture and I get this amount of likes, and 1:20:50.520 --> 1:20:52.560 then sometimes it's on this page and I get this 1:20:52.600 --> 1:20:54.320 amount of likes. Yeah, like, you know, was a trick 1:20:54.360 --> 1:20:56.080 to maybe. I'm like, I'm not giving up my tricks. 1:20:58.560 --> 1:21:01.320 I would I'm trying to figure too. I've got an account, 1:21:01.320 --> 1:21:04.240 I'm trying to build up my following. The unfortunate truth 1:21:04.360 --> 1:21:07.920 is there's no perfect answer, and it's the million dollar question. 1:21:08.400 --> 1:21:10.400 There are a couple of things I'd say. One is 1:21:10.520 --> 1:21:14.240 it's important to first when you're using whether it's Instagram 1:21:14.360 --> 1:21:17.360 or any other social media platform, to be intentional about 1:21:17.400 --> 1:21:20.559 what you're using it for. Are using it to promote 1:21:20.600 --> 1:21:22.680 a cause that you believe, and are using it as 1:21:22.720 --> 1:21:25.680 a business directly, are using it to just build up 1:21:25.720 --> 1:21:28.120 awareness of your business, and you make your money elsewhere. 1:21:28.400 --> 1:21:30.639 The other thing to be honest about is that every 1:21:30.680 --> 1:21:32.880 audience is different, right, So what's going to work best 1:21:32.960 --> 1:21:35.760 for your followers isn't necessarily probably not going to work 1:21:35.760 --> 1:21:38.560 with what's best for my followers. So you and I 1:21:38.680 --> 1:21:41.720 both have to experiment. We've got to try things, see 1:21:41.760 --> 1:21:44.479 what works, see what doesn't. But there are other things 1:21:44.560 --> 1:21:46.479 that are more broadly true. So I do think it's 1:21:46.520 --> 1:21:49.360 generally true to give people a good sense of what 1:21:49.600 --> 1:21:51.479 you're about and what you do. So I try to 1:21:51.560 --> 1:21:53.600 build up these sort of patterns. So I do a 1:21:53.760 --> 1:21:56.000 video every week where I talk about what's happening on Instagram. 1:21:56.360 --> 1:22:00.000 Video also this seems to be a lot of interest 1:22:00.200 --> 1:22:02.960 across the entire world and always consuming more videos. So 1:22:03.040 --> 1:22:05.000 some of those basics are more universal, but a lot 1:22:05.080 --> 1:22:07.960 of it is more nuanced. Unfortunately, what is Instagram learning 1:22:08.040 --> 1:22:11.240 from the black creators on TikTok so the black strike 1:22:11.320 --> 1:22:13.479 on TikTok, Black credit struck on TikTok, I think is 1:22:13.560 --> 1:22:17.960 mostly about credit right too often Black creators will create 1:22:18.040 --> 1:22:20.400 amazing things and not creat credit for it, and someone else, 1:22:20.720 --> 1:22:23.800 often not black, who will reap all the benefits. But 1:22:23.880 --> 1:22:25.679 we're trying to understand not just that, but the broader 1:22:25.720 --> 1:22:27.439 set of issues and the big set of issues that 1:22:27.520 --> 1:22:29.800 we've heard from the black community here in the States 1:22:29.840 --> 1:22:32.120 and over the last year and a half are things 1:22:32.240 --> 1:22:37.080 around censorship, shadow banning, racism on the platform, having your 1:22:37.120 --> 1:22:40.080 content taken down when you fight back against the bigot 1:22:40.240 --> 1:22:42.759 or a racist. And so we feel like the credit 1:22:43.120 --> 1:22:45.400 stuff that TikTok is dealing with is important and we're 1:22:45.439 --> 1:22:47.800 looking we're working on that, but we really got to 1:22:47.960 --> 1:22:50.680 first do better on the basics because we don't really 1:22:50.760 --> 1:22:52.479 even have a right to play in like the creator 1:22:52.640 --> 1:22:55.840 monetization space unless we can get better on the issues 1:22:55.880 --> 1:23:00.639 around content takedowns, account suspensions like little Boosey. Yeah, okay, 1:23:02.560 --> 1:23:04.280 you know, little Boozy gonna stop calling you out now 1:23:04.320 --> 1:23:09.160 he's been saying you know who. Now surprise, I'm surprised 1:23:09.160 --> 1:23:10.840 he hasn't sit them in my DM. You know now. 1:23:11.080 --> 1:23:15.960 Adam was sorry, you guy right here. I can't wait 1:23:16.000 --> 1:23:20.519 to see him later on. Adam Moossary, Adam Mossary. It's 1:23:20.600 --> 1:23:26.360 Mossi with seven essays. Now what about limiting screen? No no, 1:23:26.439 --> 1:23:29.200 why doesn't Boozy keep getting taken down? We gotta drug 1:23:29.280 --> 1:23:31.960 the line somewhere and it's it's a nudity policy. We 1:23:32.040 --> 1:23:34.200 try to be clear. You can appeal, but if you 1:23:34.280 --> 1:23:37.439 get too many strikes to think you know what's nudity? 1:23:37.560 --> 1:23:41.320 Because I flagged Kim Kardashi in ten thousand times. Remember 1:23:41.320 --> 1:23:44.000 when Kim posted a picture Why would you do it? 1:23:44.160 --> 1:23:46.519 Because they don't take cut down, but they take everybody 1:23:46.560 --> 1:23:48.320 out there. So I flagged it. If she posts a 1:23:48.320 --> 1:23:51.000 picture of nipples getting taken down. If the guy, no, guy, 1:23:51.600 --> 1:23:53.840 this is one. This is one of my man. Nipples 1:23:53.880 --> 1:23:56.800 are allowed, so I should be clear one of one 1:23:56.880 --> 1:23:59.600 of one of my favorite tricks that people who are 1:23:59.680 --> 1:24:03.639 sort of nudity advocates talk about One of my favorite 1:24:03.680 --> 1:24:07.400 tricks that they do is they'll take a mail nipple, 1:24:08.040 --> 1:24:10.560 cut it out, and paste the mail nipple on a 1:24:10.840 --> 1:24:14.320 female's breast and post that just to test our policies. 1:24:16.320 --> 1:24:18.240 If we figure it out, that's allowed. You know, This 1:24:18.400 --> 1:24:20.559 is what it means to be a platform with as 1:24:20.640 --> 1:24:22.200 much reach as we have, is you're gonna have people 1:24:22.240 --> 1:24:24.320 try to push you and figure things out. Does Instagram 1:24:24.439 --> 1:24:26.360 understanding cult it all? Right? Because you have people like 1:24:26.560 --> 1:24:29.479 little Duvall Little Booty whose page always get taken down, 1:24:29.720 --> 1:24:31.760 and it could be for doing things like using the 1:24:31.960 --> 1:24:34.559 N word, but they're using it in like the context 1:24:34.600 --> 1:24:36.880 of that's my N word, but it'll get taken down 1:24:36.920 --> 1:24:40.479 for like racial slurs really like yeah, yeah. So it's 1:24:40.560 --> 1:24:43.680 tough because no, we don't understand culture perfectly at all, 1:24:44.400 --> 1:24:47.680 just super clear, you can't at our scale. And so 1:24:47.800 --> 1:24:49.880 there are things where we just have to draw the 1:24:49.960 --> 1:24:53.479 line or define a rule that is practical for us 1:24:53.520 --> 1:24:55.840 to actually enforce, because the perfect rule is going to 1:24:55.920 --> 1:24:59.560 be nuanced, but the perfect rule we cannot enforce accurately 1:24:59.600 --> 1:25:02.719 and consider certainly tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions 1:25:02.760 --> 1:25:05.479 of times a day or whatever it is. And so yeah, 1:25:05.560 --> 1:25:08.000 there are certain racial slurs that you cannot say on Instagram, 1:25:08.439 --> 1:25:13.080 regardless of how you identify. Now, that's just because we 1:25:13.240 --> 1:25:14.920 don't think we would be able to get it right 1:25:15.160 --> 1:25:17.200 enough of the time. We would make too many mistakes otherwise, 1:25:17.240 --> 1:25:19.000 and it's better for us to be transparent about the 1:25:19.120 --> 1:25:21.680 rule and then be able to act accordingly. And you 1:25:21.720 --> 1:25:24.120 can make your own decision. What about limiting screen time 1:25:24.160 --> 1:25:26.400 because I know that was a discussion that people have. 1:25:26.560 --> 1:25:28.200 You know, your phone will tell you how long you've 1:25:28.240 --> 1:25:30.560 been on all of these apps. Is that something in 1:25:30.720 --> 1:25:33.639 Instagram that people are concerned about? Like? Are you concerned 1:25:33.640 --> 1:25:36.840 about that people being addicted and constantly on their phone? 1:25:37.320 --> 1:25:39.519 I mean, for me, it's everything in moderation. But I 1:25:39.560 --> 1:25:42.080 also want to be clear there's a difference between like addiction, 1:25:42.240 --> 1:25:44.599 which is a compulsion to do something that is unhealthy 1:25:44.640 --> 1:25:47.519 for you that you cannot stop, and just problematic use 1:25:47.640 --> 1:25:50.360 or overuse people that are addicted to social media, though 1:25:50.600 --> 1:25:52.800 some are and some just use it too much. And 1:25:52.880 --> 1:25:54.960 so what we try to do is decide for the difference. 1:25:55.000 --> 1:25:57.040 So if you're in a really problematic state, how can 1:25:57.120 --> 1:25:58.720 we intervene? How can we let you know how much 1:25:58.760 --> 1:26:01.840 time you're spending, etc. But if you're just using it 1:26:01.920 --> 1:26:03.960 a lot, the things that we need to do might 1:26:04.000 --> 1:26:06.719 be different. Replace what you say with cocaine, some people 1:26:06.720 --> 1:26:08.559 aren't addictive, but some people just use it too much. 1:26:08.760 --> 1:26:10.719 I don't know if I can talk about that same 1:26:10.840 --> 1:26:13.479 thing with the same thing, because if you're using it 1:26:13.520 --> 1:26:16.920 too much, you clearly have like a draw to it 1:26:17.000 --> 1:26:19.360 that you can't control. Right, But I think cocaine is 1:26:19.360 --> 1:26:22.920 a drug, and a drug has serious medical, you know, implications. 1:26:22.960 --> 1:26:25.080 I think social media will in the future, I don't. 1:26:25.120 --> 1:26:29.000 I think psychologically, emotionally, mentally, we do not. Even we're 1:26:29.000 --> 1:26:31.719 not even scratching the surface of social media is impact 1:26:31.720 --> 1:26:33.479 people in the future, I think that's reasonable. But I 1:26:33.560 --> 1:26:35.720 also think that every new technology is first met with 1:26:35.800 --> 1:26:38.160 a wave of optimism. People are really excited about what 1:26:38.240 --> 1:26:41.320 it can do, then a huge wave of concern, and 1:26:41.439 --> 1:26:43.680 then ideally you get to some sort of balance, and 1:26:43.960 --> 1:26:46.479 by the way, as you get through it, the media 1:26:46.560 --> 1:26:50.320 itself or the technology itself gets better. I think social 1:26:50.360 --> 1:26:52.880 media is a technology that's just said earlier in that phase. 1:26:53.000 --> 1:26:55.759 So yeah, I'm sure use of social media can affect 1:26:56.040 --> 1:26:59.280 your health. Like because communicating with anyone can affect your health, 1:26:59.320 --> 1:27:01.280 and social media is just a way to connect. Let's 1:27:01.280 --> 1:27:03.000 talk about that because I feel like social media is 1:27:03.040 --> 1:27:06.320 changing human behavior in real life, is making people's collective 1:27:06.360 --> 1:27:08.800 attention spans decrease, is making people in secure. I think 1:27:08.800 --> 1:27:12.120 it's fueling narcissism. So how do you make it a 1:27:12.320 --> 1:27:17.160 more mentally healthy environment? I think that there's really three 1:27:17.240 --> 1:27:19.640 types of work I personally think we have to do. 1:27:20.080 --> 1:27:22.720 The first is to identify acute issues. You know, if 1:27:22.760 --> 1:27:25.840 people who are at risk of self injury are becoming 1:27:25.920 --> 1:27:28.560 more at risk, how do we address that. How do 1:27:28.640 --> 1:27:31.680 we make sure that they can still do what a 1:27:31.720 --> 1:27:34.000 lot of people who are struggling with self injury deal 1:27:34.120 --> 1:27:37.040 on social media, which is get support, get help. It's 1:27:37.080 --> 1:27:39.280 important to talk about your experience. Maybe you're you know, 1:27:39.720 --> 1:27:41.880 your thirty days clean and you want to celebrate that. 1:27:42.320 --> 1:27:44.439 How do we allow that content on Instagram without content 1:27:44.479 --> 1:27:48.400 that celebrates self injury? So, you know, identify qute issues, 1:27:48.720 --> 1:27:52.519 Identify solutions that work never ends, keep working there. Then 1:27:52.560 --> 1:27:54.360 I think we need to identify areas where we can 1:27:54.439 --> 1:27:56.920 go further, where we can be innovative, where we can 1:27:57.000 --> 1:27:59.160 define new ways of addressing the issues. Like one of 1:27:59.200 --> 1:28:01.000 the ones that we're been focused on for about two 1:28:01.080 --> 1:28:03.040 years now, I was bullying, And so then what can 1:28:03.080 --> 1:28:05.080 we do there? And there were trying to invent new things, 1:28:05.240 --> 1:28:08.639 things like restricts. Right, restrict allows you to block someone 1:28:08.680 --> 1:28:11.560 without you knowing about it. That's my favorite thing to 1:28:11.600 --> 1:28:14.000 do because they're still posting, but they don't know that 1:28:14.120 --> 1:28:15.840 no one can see it about them. Yeah, and so 1:28:16.040 --> 1:28:18.280 that was from our work on bullying. But then the 1:28:18.439 --> 1:28:21.599 third area is what are the core things about how 1:28:22.400 --> 1:28:25.040 Instagram works or social media works that we need to rethink. 1:28:25.280 --> 1:28:27.800 That's why we experimented with and made it so that 1:28:27.840 --> 1:28:29.719 people could pick to have light counts to be private. 1:28:29.760 --> 1:28:32.200 For instance, are there core things that we need to 1:28:32.280 --> 1:28:35.680 rethink because they are creating too much bad or too 1:28:35.760 --> 1:28:38.360 many problems and not enough good. What about taking away likes? 1:28:38.400 --> 1:28:42.160 I remember that was a flirtatious idea. Yeah, so the 1:28:42.240 --> 1:28:44.640 idea is to allow you to well, originally was to 1:28:44.760 --> 1:28:47.240 hide light counts so you could still like things, but 1:28:47.439 --> 1:28:50.120 it would be less of a popularity contest, but you 1:28:50.200 --> 1:28:53.080 could see it but not everybody else. Yes, it turned 1:28:53.080 --> 1:28:56.320 out to be really polarizing. It didn't seem to change 1:28:56.400 --> 1:28:59.080 much about how people felt about Instagram. We tried to 1:28:59.080 --> 1:29:00.840 see if it changed people well being. We try to 1:29:00.920 --> 1:29:04.559 measure well being your question by asking people sending These 1:29:04.600 --> 1:29:09.479 are surveys. So essentially we work with academics, professionals, experts 1:29:09.520 --> 1:29:12.960 outside of the company who have defined all sorts of 1:29:13.040 --> 1:29:15.280 ways of measuring well being. So what they did is 1:29:15.320 --> 1:29:19.120 they designed a set of questions that whose answers correlate. 1:29:19.280 --> 1:29:21.439 So if you if you say you have a support network, 1:29:21.479 --> 1:29:23.719 if you say you are not lonely, these things correlate 1:29:23.760 --> 1:29:26.600 with real world wellbeing outcomes over the long run. And 1:29:26.680 --> 1:29:28.439 so then we try to run surveys on Instagram and 1:29:28.439 --> 1:29:30.320 ask people those same questions, and we try to see 1:29:30.600 --> 1:29:33.000 for things like hiding lightcounts that change how people answer 1:29:33.040 --> 1:29:35.800 those questions. It didn't. But some people love this and 1:29:35.880 --> 1:29:38.519 some people hated it. And so what we did is, 1:29:38.560 --> 1:29:40.400 you said, all right, well, given that, let's give people 1:29:40.439 --> 1:29:42.799 a choice. You can decide you can hide light counts 1:29:43.240 --> 1:29:45.280 and not have to be part of your Instagram experience, 1:29:45.439 --> 1:29:47.519 or you can have light counts. Well more, we have 1:29:47.640 --> 1:29:49.760 more with the head of Instagram, Adam Musseri. When we 1:29:49.840 --> 1:29:53.200 come back is the Breakfast Club, Good morning, the Breakfast Club, 1:29:56.640 --> 1:30:00.760 more Abidas, dj Envy angela Ye, shallow me and the 1:30:00.800 --> 1:30:02.800 guy we are. The Breakfast Club was still kicking with 1:30:02.880 --> 1:30:06.320 Adam Museri, the head of Instagram, tired of seeing if 1:30:06.400 --> 1:30:09.759 I like her booty or not. I'm tired of bitcoin 1:30:09.960 --> 1:30:13.880 because you should invest with this person. The word is sam. 1:30:14.479 --> 1:30:16.400 I didn't know where he was talking about it something 1:30:16.560 --> 1:30:19.479 long and hard. I don't get that one, but go ahead, 1:30:19.800 --> 1:30:25.840 I get that so much like this, like it's ridiculous 1:30:25.880 --> 1:30:29.560 and why stops? Yeah, so some of this happens just 1:30:29.720 --> 1:30:31.840 because we make the mistakes and we think you're interested 1:30:31.840 --> 1:30:33.519 in things that you're not interested in. And so right 1:30:33.560 --> 1:30:38.120 now you can say, right, all, yeah, why would why 1:30:38.160 --> 1:30:40.040 would you think? Are the ads? Are there just a 1:30:40.160 --> 1:30:47.559 regular like spam much like comments comments spam? Yeah? Yeah, okay, 1:30:50.280 --> 1:30:54.040 you're talking about spam in the comments, right. I thought 1:30:54.040 --> 1:30:56.080 you were talking about like in your explore. No, this 1:30:56.280 --> 1:30:58.560 is spam you're getting. If you're getting, you want a 1:30:58.600 --> 1:31:02.320 long and hardened and explore. It's like trying to address this. 1:31:02.760 --> 1:31:09.240 I'm ordering no, pedith, ordering penis and lament. This some delicate, 1:31:09.479 --> 1:31:12.960 delicate you know, answer to this question was like, like, 1:31:13.000 --> 1:31:21.559 what are you following? Man? Okay, way better now, Thank 1:31:21.600 --> 1:31:23.479 you for making me feel good about it. If I 1:31:23.600 --> 1:31:26.720 wasn't to explore with you know it teach their if 1:31:26.720 --> 1:31:36.519 it's no judgments, No, it's in the comment picture right 1:31:36.560 --> 1:31:39.479 now and within spams. Yeah, so this is yeah, so 1:31:39.560 --> 1:31:41.960 the bots and the spam comments. So we are working 1:31:42.040 --> 1:31:44.000 on this. One of the things is we've made less 1:31:44.080 --> 1:31:46.720 progress on this issue as some other issues because we've 1:31:46.800 --> 1:31:50.840 prioritized things like safety issues. But we've gotten better at bots. 1:31:50.920 --> 1:31:53.519 But the thing is the spammer is and the bots 1:31:53.520 --> 1:31:56.120 they've gotten more sophisticated. So we do things we look like, okay, 1:31:56.120 --> 1:31:58.599 if you comment every second of the day, twenty four 1:31:58.600 --> 1:32:00.439 hours a day, you're not a person. You're so like, 1:32:00.479 --> 1:32:03.160 we shut you down. But they've gotten sophisticated. They mask 1:32:03.240 --> 1:32:05.519 themselves at different phones, they do it on different intervals, 1:32:05.800 --> 1:32:08.080 they pretend to sleep, they do all of this stuff, 1:32:08.120 --> 1:32:10.720 and so it's it's a it's an arms race, so 1:32:10.840 --> 1:32:13.040 to speak. As we get better at addressing issues, they 1:32:13.120 --> 1:32:14.720 work around those issues, and then we got to get 1:32:14.760 --> 1:32:16.720 better addressing those new issues. I should hire them. They 1:32:16.760 --> 1:32:19.240 seem pretty We try, we try, we know we try 1:32:19.320 --> 1:32:21.479 what about getting verified? People always want to know how 1:32:21.520 --> 1:32:23.439 can I get ver Yes, there's people that are like, 1:32:23.560 --> 1:32:25.920 I can pay if you pay me, I can get 1:32:25.960 --> 1:32:34.680 you a scam scam, No, don't um. So you can 1:32:34.720 --> 1:32:37.599 apply in the app the point of verification though it's 1:32:37.680 --> 1:32:41.160 not supposed to be a status symbol. It's supposed to 1:32:41.240 --> 1:32:43.560 be a way for people who are getting impersonated to 1:32:43.680 --> 1:32:46.280 be able to signal to the world what their real 1:32:46.320 --> 1:32:48.439 account is. Now it's turned into a status symbol. I 1:32:48.520 --> 1:32:50.439 get that, but that was not ever the intent. You 1:32:50.520 --> 1:32:53.200 can apply in the app. What we look for essentially 1:32:53.400 --> 1:32:57.200 is notability. We try to evaluate it using third parties, 1:32:57.320 --> 1:32:59.760 so we basically look for press about you. There's no 1:33:00.000 --> 1:33:02.800 in them follow our account. If you don't get approved 1:33:03.160 --> 1:33:05.320 in the vast majority of the cases, it's because we 1:33:05.400 --> 1:33:08.120 couldn't find enough press about you. Let's say I've search 1:33:08.200 --> 1:33:11.519 cars and then all I'll get his cars, car car car, 1:33:11.680 --> 1:33:14.479 car car car, or if I search your phones, or 1:33:14.520 --> 1:33:16.560 I'll get his phone phone and phone phonell do you 1:33:16.640 --> 1:33:18.400 guys do that? And can we take that off so 1:33:18.520 --> 1:33:20.240 I don't have to see that all day long? Forgive 1:33:20.280 --> 1:33:23.240 search and I can be talking about something we don't listen. 1:33:23.320 --> 1:33:26.200 We don't listen. My wife thinks I'm a liar on 1:33:26.280 --> 1:33:28.200 this too. It's a real cast and fight at the home. 1:33:28.880 --> 1:33:33.200 Um okay, So on the search or on ads more broadly, 1:33:33.280 --> 1:33:35.040 so this is this adds where this will happens. Ye, 1:33:35.640 --> 1:33:37.360 they'll explore. It is a little tippy too, like if 1:33:37.400 --> 1:33:39.200 I express a little bit too much interest in something, 1:33:39.280 --> 1:33:40.720 I get a lot of that thing for a couple 1:33:40.720 --> 1:33:42.960 of whiles. So we're trying to get to better um 1:33:43.160 --> 1:33:46.120 balance there. But on ads you can't. You can go 1:33:46.160 --> 1:33:47.920 to your ad preferences and you can say I'm interested in. 1:33:48.040 --> 1:33:49.519 It will show you what we think you're interested in, 1:33:49.600 --> 1:33:51.720 and you can change them. Um. And so that's over 1:33:51.840 --> 1:33:54.759 undersettings under your profile and or ad preferences for listening. 1:33:54.840 --> 1:33:57.799 We are not listening. It would be a gross violation 1:33:57.840 --> 1:33:59.960 of policy. Would also drain your battery, your phone would 1:34:00.080 --> 1:34:01.400 turn on like you would be able to know it. 1:34:01.800 --> 1:34:04.040 But all the time we get accused of this. I 1:34:04.240 --> 1:34:07.680 think what is happening is one sometimes the advertising is 1:34:07.680 --> 1:34:10.120 actually working. Like you saw it a couple of times 1:34:10.640 --> 1:34:12.479 and then you thought about it, and then you know, 1:34:12.640 --> 1:34:14.439 and then you noticed it and you talked about it. 1:34:14.800 --> 1:34:16.160 I don't have a bible to make you put you 1:34:16.400 --> 1:34:20.400 I will put my hand on it. I don't know 1:34:20.439 --> 1:34:25.800 how to I'm not going to convince you. Clearly that's 1:34:25.840 --> 1:34:27.560 a weird thing to do. If you want me to 1:34:27.600 --> 1:34:30.760 do it, I'll do it. Um. I think also is 1:34:30.840 --> 1:34:33.840 that we don't just show you ads based on what 1:34:33.960 --> 1:34:36.280 we know about you. We show you ads based on 1:34:36.640 --> 1:34:38.559 you know what your friends seem to like. We call 1:34:38.640 --> 1:34:41.320 that collaborative filtering. And ads are good, like we're good 1:34:41.479 --> 1:34:43.840 at figuring out what you're interested in. We don't always 1:34:43.840 --> 1:34:45.160 get it right. We make mistakes. I know a lot 1:34:45.200 --> 1:34:47.040 of people don't like ads, but we think that ads 1:34:47.080 --> 1:34:51.000 fundamentally they allow small businesses to play on an equal 1:34:51.040 --> 1:34:53.320 playing field with big businesses. And then it woul happened 1:34:53.320 --> 1:34:54.920 to you. Have you been talking about something then you 1:34:54.960 --> 1:34:57.360 look down at your Instagram the ad for it pops up. 1:34:57.960 --> 1:35:00.720 Not directly, no, but I've definitely they had things been like, 1:35:00.800 --> 1:35:03.280 how the hell did we know I was interested in that? 1:35:03.680 --> 1:35:05.880 How many meanings did you have to be in the president? 1:35:06.160 --> 1:35:09.720 That was that a huge conversation. It was an intense conversation, 1:35:10.520 --> 1:35:13.479 but it was an intensity of circumstances we didn't have 1:35:13.640 --> 1:35:17.320 a policy for what happens when a sitting president incites 1:35:17.360 --> 1:35:20.720 a riot to try to prevent the peaceful transfer of 1:35:20.760 --> 1:35:23.080 power to a new president. There's sort of the new 1:35:23.200 --> 1:35:26.400 territory for all of us lying this whole presidency. Though, yeah, 1:35:26.400 --> 1:35:28.640 I could have took them down early on, right, But 1:35:28.720 --> 1:35:31.960 we don't have a policy against lye. We have a 1:35:32.000 --> 1:35:34.400 policy against lying when they're safety risks. You could make 1:35:34.439 --> 1:35:36.920 that case here. But we also want to make sure 1:35:36.960 --> 1:35:40.040 that politicians can get health accountable for their actions, and 1:35:40.200 --> 1:35:42.920 so they've had historically in certain areas different rules, the 1:35:43.000 --> 1:35:45.240 same way public figures have different rules. But that was 1:35:45.280 --> 1:35:47.720 an intense moment, and we have this thing that we 1:35:47.840 --> 1:35:49.640 call the Oversight Board now because a lot of these 1:35:49.720 --> 1:35:52.479 decisions we think shouldn't be made by us directly, So 1:35:52.560 --> 1:35:55.880 we sort of built this board. It's independent, and we 1:35:56.280 --> 1:35:59.360 made this decision and then we asked them for their 1:35:59.400 --> 1:36:02.120 opinion on it. Basically, um, they did. But what I 1:36:02.120 --> 1:36:04.000 would have done, which they said, is like, yeah, we 1:36:04.000 --> 1:36:05.479 would have banned them too, But you have to have 1:36:05.520 --> 1:36:08.200 a policy. You can't just like do it something, you know, 1:36:08.280 --> 1:36:09.960 as a one off. And I think that was fair. 1:36:10.000 --> 1:36:12.800 And then we defined a policy now and he suspended 1:36:12.880 --> 1:36:15.320 four two years. Who owns the pictures that you post? 1:36:15.400 --> 1:36:17.000 Because it was a rumor that you own a pictures 1:36:17.760 --> 1:36:20.439 so we own a pictures. Instagram does not own the pictures. Yeah, 1:36:20.640 --> 1:36:24.520 once every year or two we get a false declaration 1:36:24.640 --> 1:36:26.280 that like, you don't own your stuff and if you 1:36:26.400 --> 1:36:29.680 repost this random chain letter, you own it and it 1:36:29.760 --> 1:36:31.759 goes viral. But then we try to go on correct 1:36:31.800 --> 1:36:34.439 that as quickly as possible and make sure people know 1:36:34.479 --> 1:36:36.759 what the real rules are. I wonder about the intention. 1:36:36.800 --> 1:36:39.000 I wonder what the intention was when they first started 1:36:39.040 --> 1:36:42.040 a lot of these sites. But also when you see 1:36:42.120 --> 1:36:45.439 Frankenstein becoming Frankenstein, when do you know, maybe it might 1:36:45.520 --> 1:36:49.280 be time to take down Frankenstein's Frankenstein the whole thing. 1:36:49.439 --> 1:36:51.600 At this point, it feels like it like when you 1:36:51.680 --> 1:36:53.400 watch movies, like when you watch the communities, like the 1:36:53.479 --> 1:36:56.080 Social Dilemma on Netflix. What goes through your mind that 1:36:56.200 --> 1:36:58.439 specific one, though, I felt like it was a little 1:36:58.479 --> 1:37:02.840 bit dramatic triplet programmers like in a Star Trek place 1:37:02.920 --> 1:37:05.360 deciding what you see is clearly on how things work. 1:37:05.520 --> 1:37:07.240 But overall I thought they were bringing up in portant 1:37:07.240 --> 1:37:08.920 issues that should be talked about. I thought that's a 1:37:08.960 --> 1:37:12.360 healthy thing. Now, Look I'm biased. I want to recognize 1:37:12.360 --> 1:37:14.800 that up front, but I really believe that we do 1:37:14.960 --> 1:37:16.600 a lot of good in the world. We help a 1:37:16.640 --> 1:37:19.559 lot of people express themselves. We help them go straight 1:37:19.600 --> 1:37:21.799 to their fans or to the or to their friends, 1:37:22.120 --> 1:37:24.840 they don't have to go to traditional media. We will 1:37:24.840 --> 1:37:27.599 help small businesses around the world. We help marginalized communities 1:37:27.600 --> 1:37:29.479 around the world in a lot of ways. But there's 1:37:29.479 --> 1:37:31.559 bad that comes to now. I think there's more good 1:37:31.600 --> 1:37:33.880 than bad. So I don't think that it makes sense that, 1:37:34.040 --> 1:37:35.920 you know, put a bullet in Frankenstein to use your 1:37:35.960 --> 1:37:39.080 metaphor right the playing field for people too in a 1:37:39.160 --> 1:37:40.800 huge way. Like I love to see how like a 1:37:40.880 --> 1:37:43.120 Lala Milan or a DC young Fly, how some of 1:37:43.240 --> 1:37:46.120 these creators have been able to really use social media 1:37:46.640 --> 1:37:48.840 to get the platforms that they have now. But then 1:37:48.880 --> 1:37:50.599 I hate qing on and then I hate the fact 1:37:50.600 --> 1:37:53.160 that there was an attempted cool of the government on January. 1:37:53.160 --> 1:37:54.600 So it's like, I really feel like we're headed do 1:37:54.760 --> 1:37:59.080 some orson wells war the world type because of nobody 1:37:59.120 --> 1:38:00.920 cares about the truth on social media when the lives 1:38:00.960 --> 1:38:03.160 more entertained. Well, I think confirmation bias is a thing, 1:38:03.240 --> 1:38:05.720 and that's the oldest time. People want to hear what 1:38:05.800 --> 1:38:07.040 they agree with and they don't want to hear what 1:38:07.120 --> 1:38:08.960 they don't agree with. Just give me the keys to 1:38:09.040 --> 1:38:12.000 the nuclear code. Just tell me. Just give me and 1:38:12.080 --> 1:38:14.360 I can just go in and delete pages. That's it. 1:38:14.600 --> 1:38:17.200 I can do that. I got time. It's a lot 1:38:17.240 --> 1:38:18.960 of people, it's a lot of I got it. Just 1:38:19.040 --> 1:38:20.840 give me the keys to the nuclear code. But the 1:38:20.920 --> 1:38:23.479 concerns you have, like I said before, we had those 1:38:23.520 --> 1:38:27.760 concerns about every major new technology, particularly around the ones 1:38:27.840 --> 1:38:30.160 that change how people communicate. One of the big concerns 1:38:30.160 --> 1:38:31.840 about writing when it first existed was that there was 1:38:31.880 --> 1:38:33.760 no one there to disagree with you. Well, those people 1:38:33.760 --> 1:38:36.200 get held liable though, Like you can sue an author 1:38:36.320 --> 1:38:38.240 for playing the defamation. That's why they take to change 1:38:38.320 --> 1:38:40.400 names in books and things of that nature. But for 1:38:40.479 --> 1:38:42.599 certain issues, yeah, But for other issues, no, you could 1:38:42.640 --> 1:38:44.760 say something, you can make a case for something that 1:38:44.960 --> 1:38:47.639 is really problematic in a bunch of different ways, put 1:38:47.720 --> 1:38:50.519 it out there and it doesn't violate along in any country. 1:38:50.720 --> 1:38:53.240 You can sue for defamation on social media too. Though, right, 1:38:53.280 --> 1:38:56.880 if somebody says something about you that's defamatory and not true. Yeah, 1:38:56.960 --> 1:38:59.880 I think the question is who's accountable is the person 1:39:00.000 --> 1:39:02.240 who said it or the platforms or the platform And 1:39:03.160 --> 1:39:05.080 I think the platforms need to be held accountable for 1:39:05.800 --> 1:39:09.479 taking not just reasonable, but like meaningful measures to reduce 1:39:09.560 --> 1:39:12.160 these problems. I don't think it's sustainable for us to 1:39:12.280 --> 1:39:15.960 be accountable for everything everybody says, because if we were, 1:39:16.520 --> 1:39:19.960 we would have to take down so much content that 1:39:20.080 --> 1:39:22.800 you would have a huge censorship issue. We appreciate you 1:39:22.880 --> 1:39:25.000 for joining us so little do I mean little Boozy's 1:39:25.000 --> 1:39:29.040 pages down because of nudity? Sorry do boh?

Grew up 1:40:39.720 --> 1:40:41.439 on a dirt road in Monkst corner of South Carolina. 1:40:41.640 --> 1:40:43.920 Mom was a Jehovah witness English teacher. My father was 1:40:43.920 --> 1:40:47.320 an entrepreneurgro did everything from owning a fish market, the construction, 1:40:47.479 --> 1:40:49.600 the selling narcotics. It is what it is, It was 1:40:49.680 --> 1:40:51.599 what it was. My mother kept a book in my face. 1:40:51.640 --> 1:40:53.880 I read everything from my book of Bible stories.

Also side note to a 1:41:15.120 --> 1:41:18.840 side note, I ordered some penis enlargement pills and I've 1:41:18.880 --> 1:41:21.639 been taking them, and I've been chanting, I must, I must, 1:41:21.720 --> 1:41:23.760 I must increase my thrust. I explained it on this 1:41:23.840 --> 1:41:26.439 week's Brand Idiots podcast. Go listen, Now, what's my point here? 1:41:26.520 --> 1:41:29.200 My point here is that I come from the dirt 1:41:29.439 --> 1:41:31.439 all right, South Carolina, eight for three all day. That 1:41:31.600 --> 1:41:33.600 is always in me. Therefore, I will always love the 1:41:33.720 --> 1:41:36.639 ratchetness of life, even at forty two years old, married 1:41:36.680 --> 1:41:40.120 with three kids and a receding headline. I love ratchetness. 1:41:40.200 --> 1:41:42.160 I still do hood rat things with my friends. We 1:41:42.280 --> 1:41:44.800 just do it at our houses are on vacation when 1:41:44.840 --> 1:41:46.639 the kids go to sleep. But the reason I'm giving 1:41:46.680 --> 1:41:50.439 myself donkey of to day is because this morning, when 1:41:50.479 --> 1:41:53.280 I was here by myself, I was talking about the 1:41:53.360 --> 1:41:56.920 domestic terrorists that you know hit the capitol, you know, 1:41:57.000 --> 1:41:59.720 Vanilla isis And I was still on a high after 1:42:00.000 --> 1:42:03.639 listening to all these good country rap tunes this morning 1:42:03.720 --> 1:42:06.800 on title and I feel I feel stupid. Just listen 1:42:06.840 --> 1:42:09.880 to how I've been sounding this morning. I've talked my 1:42:09.960 --> 1:42:12.800 way out of enough home invasions to know when something 1:42:12.920 --> 1:42:15.000 is a setup. Okay. I don't even know who the 1:42:15.080 --> 1:42:18.519 trust in government anymore, but I know who I do trust, 1:42:19.040 --> 1:42:23.559 and that's no damn body okay. Period. And for some reason, 1:42:23.600 --> 1:42:25.040 I started to saying, that's on crip. But I'm not 1:42:25.080 --> 1:42:26.200 a crips. I don't even know why the hell I 1:42:26.240 --> 1:42:28.280 would even say something like that. All right, Sluth dollar 1:42:28.320 --> 1:42:30.479 gangs out there, I'm driving in this morning. I heard 1:42:30.479 --> 1:42:32.600 you shout out all the gangs. Then I don't know 1:42:32.640 --> 1:42:34.439 why I said, I'm gonna be asking you, you know 1:42:34.479 --> 1:42:36.200 how I feelbody be talking like that's on crip and 1:42:36.200 --> 1:42:37.479 then I don't think about it, like I didn't even 1:42:37.520 --> 1:42:39.400 know crip. Why am I saying I'm walking in blue 1:42:39.439 --> 1:42:41.479 dollar gangs? Though, Mellow, I don't know what's going on 1:42:41.600 --> 1:42:48.880 to Pall held it down for the morning. Why everybody 1:42:49.000 --> 1:42:52.960 wasn't there, Man, it's about time. I don't know who 1:42:53.040 --> 1:42:56.519 died it made you six nine, but I don't know 1:42:56.680 --> 1:42:59.639 who died and made me six nineties. And Mellow, it's 1:42:59.720 --> 1:43:01.880 quite a problems with all those statements. Number one, I 1:43:01.920 --> 1:43:03.920 don't gang bang, never having my life. I'm not a cript, 1:43:04.000 --> 1:43:06.000 not a blood either. I'm nothing. I'm a man who 1:43:06.040 --> 1:43:08.080 has therapy today at three pm. I'm a man who 1:43:08.200 --> 1:43:10.560 is scared to order a protein shake from around the 1:43:10.600 --> 1:43:12.760 corner and hear in tribecas because I feel like they 1:43:12.880 --> 1:43:14.720 keep giving me whole milk and not owning milk. And 1:43:14.760 --> 1:43:16.679 I don't have time to spend hours on the toilet 1:43:16.720 --> 1:43:19.240 today and I get dairy bumps. My point was saying 1:43:19.320 --> 1:43:21.799 all of this, and the reason I'm giving myself donkey 1:43:21.840 --> 1:43:24.360 to day is because I just feel stupid, and donkey 1:43:24.439 --> 1:43:26.559 today is all about giving people to credit they deserve 1:43:26.640 --> 1:43:28.479 for being stupid.

The reason I 1:43:38.040 --> 1:43:40.519 feel stupid is because I was writing in the work 1:43:40.560 --> 1:43:42.800 this morning, listening to the New South playlists on a 1:43:42.840 --> 1:43:44.880 title bro.

And 1:43:57.040 --> 1:43:59.080 when you listen to certain music, certain music is so 1:43:59.320 --> 1:44:02.400 powerful and it would just have you feeling like you 1:44:02.560 --> 1:44:06.200 something you're not.
