Speaker 1: You're listening to Comedy Central, from.
Speaker 2: The most trusted journalists at Comedy Central is America's only
Speaker 2: source for news. This is the Daily Trump with your
Speaker 2: home's Roddy Day.
Speaker 3: Hey, welcome to Daily Shaw. I'm Rodny Shack. We got
Speaker 3: so much to talk about tonight. The Proud Boys are
Speaker 3: back in town, Donald Trump faces off against Jesus, and
Speaker 3: we sent Triumph to sniff the buttholes of the resistance.
Speaker 3: So let's get into another edition of the Second Coming
Speaker 3: of Donald J. Trump. I've been a comedy. It's only
Speaker 3: day two of Trump's presidency and already everyone is mad
Speaker 3: at him. I mean, gods, can you give him a minute,
Speaker 3: lends sit down. It started in the morning when Trump
Speaker 3: went to the traditional post inauguration church service, which is
Speaker 3: not exactly his preferred way to start the day. It's
Speaker 3: never fun for him to be a guest at someone
Speaker 3: else's rally, and to make matters worse, the preacher was
Speaker 3: kind of preachy.
Speaker 4: Mister President.
Speaker 1: I ask you.
Speaker 4: To have mercy upon the people in our country. We're
Speaker 4: scared now gay, lesbian and transgender children, and the people
Speaker 4: the people who pick our crops and clean our office buildings,
Speaker 4: who labor in poultry farms and meatpacking plants, who wash
Speaker 4: the dishes after we eat in restaurants and work the
Speaker 4: night shifts in hospitals. They may not be citizens or
Speaker 4: have the proper documentation, but the vast majority of immigrants
Speaker 4: are not criminals.
Speaker 3: New Executive Order, we are banning church a bishop, please
Speaker 3: all right. We don't go to church to hear a
Speaker 3: lecture about having mercy on the last fortunate. That's not
Speaker 3: what church is for. And Trump was like, I only
Speaker 3: came here because I heard they were free crackers, and
Speaker 3: now I'm getting roastered by tign Otaro. He was it
Speaker 3: was probably looking up at Jesus on the cross and thinking, hey,
Speaker 3: you and me both brother to be fair. I mean,
Speaker 3: can you imagine going to church and the pastor is
Speaker 3: only addressing you like this next sermon is about the sinners,
Speaker 3: the cheaters, the degenerate gamblers. Gary. The point is, no
Speaker 3: one has ever had a word time in church than
Speaker 3: Trump did. And yes, I've seen spotlight and you could
Speaker 3: tell that he had a bad time because of the
Speaker 3: way he came out of the church. Super bitchy. Mister President.
Speaker 5: What did you think of the sermon?
Speaker 3: What did you think, Do you like it?
Speaker 6: Did you find it exciting?
Speaker 3: Yeah? It does that excite you? Did you like that
Speaker 3: watching your president get lectured to by Bishop Rachel Meadow?
Speaker 3: Get your little liberal god? You sick? And is this
Speaker 3: how we do presidential press conferences? Now? This is like
Speaker 3: TMZ at the departures haul the lax. It's like, hey,
Speaker 3: mister president, all right, but the president, what do you
Speaker 3: think about black Lively and justin Beldona? But after getting
Speaker 3: yelled at by this church Cara and Trump was also
Speaker 3: getting yelled at by everyone just because he released hundreds
Speaker 3: of violent insurrectioners back into the streets or something. And yeah, okay,
Speaker 3: he beat some cops and broke some windows, but they
Speaker 3: were doing it for him. No one seems to understand that,
Speaker 3: and the media won't shut up with these unfair gotcha questions.
Speaker 7: You would agree that it's never acceptable to assault a
Speaker 7: police officer, So then if I can't among those, you
Speaker 7: pardon DJ Rodriguez. He drove a stun gun into the
Speaker 7: neck of a DC police officer who was abducted by
Speaker 7: the mob that day. He later confessed on video to
Speaker 7: the FBI and pleaded guilty for his crimes. Why does
Speaker 7: he deserve a pardon.
Speaker 1: Well, I don't know.
Speaker 6: Is it important because we're looking at commute, so we're
Speaker 6: looking at partons.
Speaker 1: Okay, well we'll take a look at everything.
Speaker 3: We'll take a look at everything. Shouldn't you look at
Speaker 3: it before you issue the pardon?
Speaker 1: Sorry?
Speaker 3: Step one, release the prisoners. Step two, look into which
Speaker 3: prisoners we should release. Him nailed it. So part one
Speaker 3: of his answer about this whole gen sixth thing is
Speaker 3: we'll take a look, which is Trump speak for we
Speaker 3: won't never look at this again. But if that doesn't
Speaker 3: satisfy you, he has another reason.
Speaker 6: Okay, well we'll take a look at everything. But I
Speaker 6: can say this, murderers today are not even charged. You
Speaker 6: have murderers that aren't charged all over you. Take a
Speaker 6: look at what's gone on in Philadelphia, take a look
Speaker 6: at what's gone off in LA where people murder people
Speaker 6: and they don't get charged.
Speaker 3: Say, some murderers aren't in jail, therefore nobody should be
Speaker 3: in jail. Okay, Also think big picture here. If he
Speaker 3: lets these violent criminals go, there's a chance they'll kill
Speaker 3: the other violent criminals and then they'll just cancel each
Speaker 3: other out. And to be fair to Trump, he has
Speaker 3: been campaigning on releasing the jan six prisoners for years now.
Speaker 3: Everyone just assumed he didn't mean the violent ones, which
Speaker 3: would mean going through all the cases one by one.
Speaker 3: But that's not really Trump's style.
Speaker 8: You're reporting from Axios this morning details the private back
Speaker 8: and forth amongst in a Trump's team over how many
Speaker 8: January sixth rioters to pardon.
Speaker 9: The case by case review was onerous. Trump staffers wondered
Speaker 9: whom to pardon and who might slip through the cracks.
Speaker 9: Time was running out heading into inauguration day. As Trump's
Speaker 9: team wrestled with the issue, Trump just said it release
Speaker 9: them all.
Speaker 3: I have never related to Trump more. All right, this
Speaker 3: pdf is four hundred pages. Okay, all crime is legal.
Speaker 3: And look, you can't expect someone to go through all
Speaker 3: these cases one by one. I mean the FBI did,
Speaker 3: and the prosecutors did, and the judges did, and the
Speaker 3: juries and the paralegals and the person who types on
Speaker 3: that weird typewriter no one else knows how to use.
Speaker 3: But Trump is busy. Okay, it's much easier to just
Speaker 3: click select all delete. So in the very first seven
Speaker 3: hours of the Trump administration, we already have our first
Speaker 3: big controversy, which of course leads to the class ritual
Speaker 3: of a Trump presidency. He does something crazy, then Republicans
Speaker 3: get asked about it and they're like, what, I didn't
Speaker 3: see it.
Speaker 10: Do you agree with President Trump's decision to pardon these
Speaker 10: violent people if.
Speaker 3: They were truly violent?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 3: But but do I know that they were? I don't know.
Speaker 1: That is January's sixth pardons. Well, I've said what I
Speaker 1: said before.
Speaker 7: And that is we're not looking backwards.
Speaker 5: I haven't seen the details, but I think a lot
Speaker 5: of those parents were definitely well served.
Speaker 7: What about those who assaulted police officers and then we're
Speaker 7: pardoned by the president?
Speaker 5: I haven't seen it.
Speaker 3: I haven't gone to the detail.
Speaker 7: We're talking about people that were beating officers with fire hydrants,
Speaker 7: with metal batonons.
Speaker 3: Is that acceptable to you? Those people able? What do
Speaker 3: you mean?
Speaker 1: I understand?
Speaker 3: No, No, no spoilers Tommy and Tuboville didn't watch jan
Speaker 3: six yet. Okay, he'll he'll get to it, but there's
Speaker 3: just so much to watch these days. You know, he's
Speaker 3: still got nine to eleven. And then Gadzi on his
Speaker 3: dv A, I mean, you you are a senator on
Speaker 3: jan six Like, what do you mean you didn't see
Speaker 3: the insurrection you lived in? This is like a Titanic
Speaker 3: survivor saying I haven't seen the movie, don't tell me
Speaker 3: what happens. So to sum up day one of Trump's presidency,
Speaker 3: church is bad, beating cops is good. So I guess
Speaker 3: he's a Democrat. Now for more on the Republican reaction,
Speaker 3: we turn to Troy You on, everybody try try. All
Speaker 3: these Republicans are pretending they haven't seen footage of January sixth.
Speaker 3: I mean, shouldn't they be embarrassed? Ronnie?
Speaker 8: I know, sad and ignorant people like yourself would think
Speaker 8: Republicans are being cowardly, but they actually have medical conditions
Speaker 8: that literally make it impossible for them to see the
Speaker 8: January sixth footage. And unlike you, I'm not an ablest fan.
Speaker 3: What do you mean ablest due? Ron Johnson's just said
Speaker 3: he didn't see the details.
Speaker 8: He can't see the details, Ronnie.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 8: Ron Johnson has a rare disease, you know, face blindness.
Speaker 8: He has that, but specifically for insurrections. When he sees
Speaker 8: a cop getting beaten with a flagpole, his brain interprets
Speaker 8: that as a rainbow or a baby deer learning to walk.
Speaker 8: It might seem cute, but it's actually incredibly painful.
Speaker 3: Okay, I've never heard of that, But what about the
Speaker 3: rest of them? The Senator Tublville also have this face blindness.
Speaker 8: Okay, watch your tone. Okay, And no, Tommy Tupperville actually
Speaker 8: has that disease from Memento.
Speaker 3: Do you remember that movie?
Speaker 8: He doesn't, but he forgets about January sixth every three minutes.
Speaker 8: He's a survivor and it's inspiring.
Speaker 3: Oh okay, So he's not just dumb.
Speaker 8: Well, if he didn't have Memento disease, then yeah, he
Speaker 8: would absolutely be the dumbest senator in history.
Speaker 3: But he does have it, so he is.
Speaker 8: I'm I'm doing a walk for the cure next week.
Speaker 8: What are you doing to give back?
Speaker 3: Ronnie? I have a metal straw to read that I'll
Speaker 3: remember to use someday. I got Troy. Come on, they can't.
Speaker 3: They can't all have medical issues with seeing jan six footage, but.
Speaker 8: They do, Okay. Lauren Bobert was hypnotized at a child's
Speaker 8: birthday party and just never fully recovered. Rick Scott he
Speaker 8: couldn't see the footage because he's actually half horse, so
Speaker 8: he always has those those blinders on. And Tim Burchett
Speaker 8: couldn't see it because he got kicked in the head
Speaker 8: by Rick Scott because he walked behind him too quickly.
Speaker 1: And it scooped him.
Speaker 8: And oh oh oh, and John Thunes's eyes don't work
Speaker 8: because he once saw a pretty lady walk by and
Speaker 8: they went and they just they never went back into
Speaker 8: his head. Yeah, do you think that's funny?
Speaker 3: Ronnie? I guess I guess I need to be more
Speaker 3: sensitive to Republicans going forward.
Speaker 8: Yeah, you should, because there's a lot of things coming
Speaker 8: down the pipeline the next four years that they're not
Speaker 8: going to be able to see or hear or remember
Speaker 8: or legislate against or understand or consider.
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, okay, okay, yeah, I got Okay, yeah gotta yeah,
Speaker 3: I got. I guess I guess I should be also
Speaker 3: more respectful of people who can't watch jen six footage
Speaker 3: the way you and I have.
Speaker 8: Oh I haven't seen the January sixth footage.
Speaker 3: Well, do you also have one of those diseases?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 8: No, it just sounded so depressing. I don't need that
Speaker 8: my life.
Speaker 3: Okay, Okay, try what everybody, I will want to come back.
Speaker 3: We're checking on Time's opposition, so don't go away. You
Speaker 3: can't see it. Welcome back to Adah. We show the
Speaker 3: Time's inauguration wasn't the old. Even in DC this week
Speaker 3: there was also the People's March to oppose him. We
Speaker 3: set a most dogged reporter to check it out here
Speaker 3: in Washington, d C.
Speaker 5: At the People's March, we're here with everyone in America
Speaker 5: who thinks Joe Scarborough and Nika Prazinski still have good
Speaker 5: on screen chemistry. This diverse crowd covers a full spectrum
Speaker 5: of literally every stage of depression the morning.
Speaker 1: Look at you guys.
Speaker 5: You guys are mobilized.
Speaker 3: Yeah you're energized.
Speaker 5: Yeah you're three months too Lateik THIKEI if you could
Speaker 5: just say your name and all your genders from the camera, please.
Speaker 3: Oh wow, I'll count.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry.
Speaker 5: Let's face it, no one here's gonna smash any windows
Speaker 5: at the Capitol that would require upper body strength. You know,
Speaker 5: eight years ago, in fairness, there were like millions of
Speaker 5: people here. Do you think the numbers of women participating
Speaker 5: in this march have dropped off because they don't see
Speaker 5: themselves represented by the demo crats, or because you kept
Speaker 5: talking to them about Deadpool. Seriously, looking around here, I've
Speaker 5: never seen so many people worried about losing the right
Speaker 5: to contraceptives for purely hypothetical reasons. Tell me what stage
Speaker 5: of depression are you currently in? Anger, bargaining are all
Speaker 5: the way to wearing that hat in public? So many
Speaker 5: groups factions represented here. This person is with people for
Speaker 5: the legalization of medicinal bath salts.
Speaker 3: Correct deport Trump slash drump Trump. If you don't know,
Speaker 3: I guess the Trump. I'm the original name in Germany.
Speaker 5: Okay, it's nice to know the bath salts have kicked in.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 5: Honestly, some people are saying that you're all ineffective, You're
Speaker 5: too weak and unequipped for a crisis. I'm talking to
Speaker 5: your deodorance right now.
Speaker 1: Actually, short, if.
Speaker 5: You want to win next time, we have to be
Speaker 5: the bigger tenth. Sometimes it's just with language, okay. So
Speaker 5: if we want to get Republicans, what the best if
Speaker 5: we rebrand climate change as climate transitioning, Okay, then Republicans
Speaker 5: will want to stop it.
Speaker 3: There you go.
Speaker 5: I can feel Ben Shapiro hedging already. So you're a
Speaker 5: young person. I feel like the young people need to
Speaker 5: understand what's going on better. What's your message to young
Speaker 5: people who only get their news from social media?
Speaker 8: It's important to organize, Join an organization.
Speaker 5: Already too complicated. Sorry, people are going to take you seriously.
Speaker 5: Wearing clussy hats from twenty sixteen. We gotta armor up,
Speaker 5: show them. We don't want to be screwed with right now.
Speaker 3: Okay, what do you got? Okay, sign for the pube hat.
Speaker 5: Put that on.
Speaker 3: Oh boy, this is what democracy looks like.
Speaker 5: Are the pups organic? Of course they're organic, and they're
Speaker 5: farm raised, the raised farm raised.
Speaker 1: Yes, we run a no kill pupe.
Speaker 11: Far are there genetically modified organisms in the.
Speaker 6: Now?
Speaker 8: See?
Speaker 3: This is for the more discerning. That's the landing strip
Speaker 3: you have.
Speaker 5: Seriously, you guys, this marching stuff, it's so analog.
Speaker 1: This isn't what the Republicans do. You know, where's your
Speaker 1: Pepe the Frog?
Speaker 3: Where's your cat turn?
Speaker 1: We need our own Pepe?
Speaker 5: So I call this one Keith Obermonkey. This is another
Speaker 5: potential mascot, Smuggy the NTR total perfect. People don't believe
Speaker 5: facts anymore, they believe conspiracy theories.
Speaker 1: So we need to make up our own conspiracy theories. Okay.
Speaker 5: For example, Jimmy Carter was doing just fine until Trump
Speaker 5: got elected again coincidence?
Speaker 3: Who killed Carter?
Speaker 5: You know how Trump hides his medical records? Yes, he
Speaker 5: also hides his DNA test. That's right. He recently took
Speaker 5: a DNA test that reveals that he's forty percent sour creete,
Speaker 5: release the DNA test.
Speaker 9: Release the DNA test.
Speaker 3: Truck is ruining people's lives.
Speaker 9: Truck was running people's lives.
Speaker 1: He goes well with onions and chibes. She goes onions
Speaker 1: and tibes.
Speaker 3: Goop. Stop the lie, you ob stop the lines. How
Speaker 3: did Jimmy Carter die? How did Jimmy Carter die?
Speaker 5: Young man?
Speaker 1: Are you a member of gen Z?
Speaker 7: Yes, sir?
Speaker 5: Okay?
Speaker 1: Did you mean to come to this march? Or were
Speaker 1: you staring at your phone on the way to work
Speaker 1: and when.
Speaker 5: You finally looked up you were here?
Speaker 1: I came on purpose.
Speaker 5: I kid, I kid, I know you don't actually work.
Speaker 5: Are you guys ready to storm a building?
Speaker 2: I did.
Speaker 5: Let's be honest, you guys aren't ready to storm the Capitol.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm sorry, Yeah, you believe me?
Speaker 1: If we're gonna start small.
Speaker 5: Okay, trust me. We need to do something you know
Speaker 5: that's gonna get attention. We're gonna start small for the mark.
Speaker 3: Are you with me?

Speaker 1: It's my city, Yeah, my city, thanks so much.
Speaker 3: Yeah, thanks for coming on the show man. You just
Speaker 3: came out from Australia.
Speaker 5: I did.
Speaker 1: I was with the Roots shoutout to legendary roots crew.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, that makes this. I saw a video of
Speaker 3: quest Love DJing in a pub in Australia. I'm sorry,
Speaker 3: what's he doing there? And you guys are on tour
Speaker 3: doing music.
Speaker 5: We were.
Speaker 1: Those guys are amazing and I'm happy to share the
Speaker 1: road with them.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I used to live in I lived in Australia
Speaker 3: for like ten years. How was it for you?
Speaker 11: It was good?
Speaker 1: Being an American traveling abroad is very interesting. Yeah, how
Speaker 1: people have a lot of questions, A lot of questions,
Speaker 1: a lot of questions. Thank you for coming to my
Speaker 1: show a city winery. Yeah, appreciate that.
Speaker 3: No, I love what. I'm a huge I love real.
Speaker 3: I'm I'm like playing it cool right now. But I'm
Speaker 3: like a huge fan of yours and I've been by
Speaker 3: following your Musicum no, No, that's very yeah, I don't.
Speaker 3: That's very kind. I feel so embarrassed that you've ben
Speaker 3: said that from people. But one thing I loved, like,
Speaker 3: I you know, I listened to albums and you you know,
Speaker 3: I think you've been You've been in this game for
Speaker 3: like thirty years now.
Speaker 1: I feel like current.
Speaker 3: If I'm wrong, I feel like most of it you've
Speaker 3: been kind of like almost pushing it indie style.
Speaker 1: Yeah, most of me, most of it.
Speaker 3: And I feel like your last few albums not this one.
Speaker 3: The latest one, Confidence of Knowing is available on Apple
Speaker 3: and Spotify, but your last two including Black Style two. Yes,
Speaker 3: your album before that, your your solo album before that,
Speaker 3: Like you released it on like, one was on Patreon,
Speaker 3: one was on Luminary. I was like, as a fan
Speaker 3: of yours, I knew you released it, but I would
Speaker 3: have to like go and like digitally chase. It wasn't
Speaker 3: like I could just press a button and listen to it.
Speaker 3: And it reminded me of back in the day actually
Speaker 3: having to chase music. And I mean quite frankly, it
Speaker 3: made me like appreciative and more when I did find it,
Speaker 3: because it made it like kind of difficult to get
Speaker 3: in a way, like is that.
Speaker 1: It makes it special? Well, I know everybody here is
Speaker 1: a fan of Joe Rogan and uh and I think
Speaker 1: Joe Rogan is paid millions of dollars by Spotify for
Speaker 1: people to listen to his podcast. But as an artist,
Speaker 1: a musician on Spotify, I get a percentage of a
Speaker 1: penny they don't pay any artists that are far any
Speaker 1: music artists and advance like that. So I mean, I
Speaker 1: think this, what's your problem, disparity, you know what I'm saying, disparity. So,
Speaker 1: I mean streaming is very convenient for the fans. It's
Speaker 1: not the fans' fault. But if you really want to
Speaker 1: support music, you should go to band camp. You should
Speaker 1: go to fans website. You can come to my band camp,
Speaker 1: you come black Star band camp, you come to qualityclub
Speaker 1: dot com, which is a store where I sell my
Speaker 1: merch and and.
Speaker 3: Albums and anything but streaming basically.
Speaker 1: Right right right, I mean, look, go listen on streaming,
Speaker 1: but then go act support the artists, and.
Speaker 3: You know, it's a it's a mix, right mix. Some
Speaker 3: of it is that people the music on streaming is
Speaker 3: so convenient and so they use that. And the other
Speaker 3: part is people don't know you, no, no, no, They
Speaker 3: think that listening on Spotify, Apple Music is like helping you.
Speaker 1: You know, right, well, everything is dictated by the algorithm
Speaker 1: right now, and whether it's what you listen to, what
Speaker 1: you eat, what you watch on television, even your politics.
Speaker 1: So this idea that online interaction is not real. I
Speaker 1: feel like that's kind of what's helping our current political climate.
Speaker 1: A lot of people slept on the fact that particularly
Speaker 1: the right wing was pushing online and they were saying,
Speaker 1: you know, don't engage, just just ignore that. It's not real.
Speaker 1: And it turns out that these billionaires are using their
Speaker 1: platforms to invest and help push policy and politics, and
Speaker 1: so it's affecting everything. We're turning into like Ready Player
Speaker 1: one right now.
Speaker 3: So you're saying, your antidote to that is to stop
Speaker 3: get off the streaming.
Speaker 1: So this is not at all I mean, I mean,
Speaker 1: right now, as you can see, I'm on Blue Sky
Speaker 1: right now. You know what I'm saying, because as far
Speaker 1: as I can tell, Blue Sky is the only one
Speaker 1: that is not bending the need of Trump, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. But I mean, you know, so there
Speaker 1: have been great communities built on TikTok, on meta, on Facebook,
Speaker 1: on Instagram, even on x There there have been great
Speaker 1: communities that have helped people. But at a at a
Speaker 1: certain point, you gotta really sort of vote with your dollars,
Speaker 1: to vote with your time and energy and all our
Speaker 1: engagement that we voluntarily give to these people we're just
Speaker 1: seeing as numbers to them, and we don't even own
Speaker 1: this content, so you have to really think about where
Speaker 1: you want to put your time and.
Speaker 3: Energy right as a consumer, as a fan, as a
Speaker 3: fan of yeah person. So like, I mean, you've you've
Speaker 3: been in this game for like thirty years now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think it's important to note that I'm
Speaker 1: an artist that doesn't have a platinum record, but I'm
Speaker 1: still on a day showed thirty years later, and I
Speaker 1: feel like that, you know, thank you. I hope that
Speaker 1: it can aspire people feel overwhelmed by like not getting
Speaker 1: the props they deserve as artists.
Speaker 3: Okay to yeah, come on the Daily Show.
Speaker 1: But you don't have to be mainstream to be successful.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well yeah, no, for I mean, you're the I
Speaker 3: think the d that there's art that you produce and
Speaker 3: then there's commercial stuff, and that both they both have
Speaker 3: that benefits. Yes, you know, I think why what really
Speaker 3: made me a fan of you was that you kind
Speaker 3: of I think you and most death for the first
Speaker 3: guys to kind of show me hip hop as an
Speaker 3: art form and not just a consumable thing to dance
Speaker 3: at at.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah nightclub, which shout out to most has happened
Speaker 1: with alchemists.
Speaker 3: Well, no, don't shout him out.
Speaker 2: This is this is you.
Speaker 1: That's my part.
Speaker 3: But I guess, I guess because you've been here for
Speaker 3: thirty years now and you've seen what it was like
Speaker 3: three years ago. You've seen what it's like now. So
Speaker 3: what do you think the future of the music industry
Speaker 3: is going?
Speaker 8: You know?
Speaker 3: Is I mean? Because it doesn't sound good from what you're.
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, I think. I think that when it
Speaker 1: comes to hip hop, too many people think of hip
Speaker 1: hop as what the corporations are pushing on them, And
Speaker 1: the hip hop community is way bigger than what you
Speaker 1: be on the radio, what you see on videos. Hip
Speaker 1: hop community is very vast. Matter of fact, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: defend the hip hop community more than any genre. I
Speaker 1: feel like hip hop has more social justice workers, more activists,
Speaker 1: more people to speak up than any genre, hands down.
Speaker 1: So even though we're pushed this sort of corporate, greedy, capitalistic, sexist,
Speaker 1: violent image of hip hop, when you look at the
Speaker 1: hip hop community as a whole, the this is where
Speaker 1: the artist are becoming activist at right.
Speaker 3: And But like what I guess, I was asking, like,
Speaker 3: what is the way you think if you're a musician
Speaker 3: right now and you're just getting started. Ye you know,
Speaker 3: like what is the what is the your what would
Speaker 3: you recommend to them?
Speaker 1: You know, like I would recommend that you stay far
Speaker 1: away from the music industry right and build build industry
Speaker 1: around yourself. You know what I'm saying, Like make yourself
Speaker 1: a commodity. Make yourself not a commodity, but make yourself,
Speaker 1: make it about yourself, and and bring a traffic to
Speaker 1: what you're doing as opposed to sending traffic outside of yourself.
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, right, well let's go yeah, yeah, Well, you
Speaker 3: know you've you've been in the game a long time.
Speaker 3: You're also such a prominent activist for your community politically,
Speaker 3: Like is I hate to ask you?
Speaker 1: I hate to ask you, like I'm here for the question,
Speaker 1: I know, but like you called me doctor Fumar Johnson
Speaker 1: one of the smoke.
Speaker 3: I hate to ask you, like as a black man,
Speaker 3: but as a black man, can you explain like where
Speaker 3: this appeal for Trump is coming from or where it's going?
Speaker 3: You think?
Speaker 1: Well, speaking on behalf of the entire black community.
Speaker 3: Because I'll speak for you, speak.
Speaker 1: For I am king of the blacks, obviously, I think
Speaker 1: that the way that people feel this despair, they feel
Speaker 1: to feel like the system is against them and they
Speaker 1: can't trust our leaders and they can't trust the politicians.
Speaker 1: Welcome to how it feels to be black the whole time.
Speaker 1: We even feel like that the whole time is so
Speaker 1: this is not this kind of sucks. It does suck.
Speaker 1: And this is why people, you know, they what they say,
Speaker 1: They say they want the rhythm but not the blues.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. I will say this right now.
Speaker 1: I see you push you know, people out there like
Speaker 1: free Luigi. You know what I'm saying, Like I see
Speaker 1: this push for people to be like eat the rich
Speaker 1: and be anti oligarch in this push to explain class
Speaker 1: divisions in class warfare and how these billionaire class they
Speaker 1: don't care about race, racist, social contract. Of course it's
Speaker 1: not even real, but this idea that we have to
Speaker 1: focus on class above everything, and I want to make
Speaker 1: sure that we don't erase the marginalized people of color
Speaker 1: who started this fight for us and often get a
Speaker 1: race at this time because the top ninety percent, over
Speaker 1: the top ninety percent is straight white male on purpose.
Speaker 1: So in America, because America started the idea of you know,
Speaker 1: with the Atlantic slave trade, the construct of whiteness being
Speaker 1: above all. This kind of started with the birth of
Speaker 1: America because it's baked into America. You can't separate race
Speaker 1: in class. Years ago, James Carville said it's the economy stupid,
Speaker 1: But now it's the racism stupid. You know what I'm saying, Like,
Speaker 1: you can't separate everything that they do when it comes
Speaker 1: to immigration, when it comes to federal workers, when it
Speaker 1: comes to the economy. It's based on white nationalists ideas.
Speaker 1: This is why Eli Musk is doing Nazi salutes and
Speaker 1: no one, no one cares, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: or they even try to defend you.
Speaker 3: I wouldn't say no one cans.
Speaker 1: But yeah, this is the radical left leg Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we all own yeah trivia.
Speaker 1: But like well, and I want to add to that,
Speaker 1: it's not they're fooling us by making a stink. It's
Speaker 1: about democrat versus Republican. I'm not a Democrat. I've never
Speaker 1: been a Democrat. I voted Democrat before, I've never voted republican,
Speaker 1: but I've never identified as a Democrat. This is not
Speaker 1: about Democrat versus Republican. This is about good versus bad
Speaker 1: This is about colonizers versus the colonize. This is about
Speaker 1: the oligarchs versus the poor and working class people. It's
Speaker 1: not about Democrat and Republican in this country. They change
Speaker 1: philosophies anyway.
