You know, 176 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 1: my friends said, I'll braid all the grass in the 177 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 1: world before I let y'all treat me bad. Ye'll not 178 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,600 Speaker 1: treat me bad. Yeah, some good little stay. So I do. 179 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 1: I do think you have to have a certain mentality 180 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 1: because it comes and some things might might break through 181 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 1: every now and again, but you do have to have 182 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 1: a certain mentality. To your point, it's a one way conversation. 183 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 1: Let me say what I say and let me jump 184 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 1: off here and not explain it to anybody. Most recently, 185 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 1: my thing with Steven A like I had. Look, there 186 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 1: are things that I just I felt away and I 187 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 1: don't even do that. That's not even my personalities, not 188 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:23,280 Speaker 1: how I move. I'm really really just making sure I 189 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 1: get my facials and workout and my my business and 190 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,440 Speaker 1: no matter how people remember it. And Jamel and I 191 00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:34,199 Speaker 1: were talking about this, I truly believe that stephen A 192 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 1: remembers it his way, like I think that certain people 193 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:40,079 Speaker 1: really remember things their way. I know my truth, and 194 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 1: you don't have to call me a liar. And it 195 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 1: was the art of why he's so good at what 196 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,359 Speaker 1: he does. I'm not taking anything from He is a performer. 197 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,600 Speaker 1: He is a performer. He's done his best he is, 198 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:51,760 Speaker 1: which is why he makes all the money he makes. 199 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,960 Speaker 1: He is box office, he's the face of sports. But 200 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 1: for him to make the conversation about instead of responding 201 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 1: to what I said, was just It's like, look, dude, 202 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 1: you know that you should start protecting black women. You 203 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,360 Speaker 1: don't do that. It's not fair how you're coming at 204 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:13,280 Speaker 1: us and the ire you reserve for us and keep 205 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,960 Speaker 1: that same energy. That's all I'm saying. It's not so 206 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,560 Speaker 1: the response is, but I hired you, I made you. 207 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 1: I was like, I only got one king maker. His 208 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 1: name is Oh Jesus, I got one king maker one 209 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,280 Speaker 1: and I'm just in my mind, I'm like, how is that? Now? 210 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 1: The conversation so with saying that all droves and droves 211 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,600 Speaker 1: of men and I don't know if they were black men. 212 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 1: Now we know that you turn the location. They be 213 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,559 Speaker 1: in Bangladesh and everywhere, so who knows if they were 214 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:41,959 Speaker 1: even really a part of this. But it was just 215 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:45,000 Speaker 1: all this he made you. You owe him and I'm like, 216 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 1: what what kind of sick world do we live in? Like? 217 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:53,120 Speaker 1: Where how is that the case? And keep the same energy. 218 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:57,360 Speaker 1: So Jamel goes, I don't think he would have responded 219 00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:59,840 Speaker 1: to Michelle Beadle if you hadn't said anything, that's what 220 00:09:59,880 --> 00:10:02,520 Speaker 1: you So because she responded, then it became this whole 221 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 1: thing and now it's open season. I didn't My intention 222 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:08,560 Speaker 1: and what I said wasn't for everybody to go and 223 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 1: respond and come for steven A. That wasn't what my 224 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,840 Speaker 1: intention was. My intention was use your powers for good. 225 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,840 Speaker 3: Well he earned the response. You opened the door to 226 00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:18,480 Speaker 3: a conversation. 227 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 2: I think a lot of people, I think the frustration 228 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 2: a lot of us out here in this world have 229 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:28,080 Speaker 2: with Stephen A is the arrogance of his entire sort 230 00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 2: of position of himself. Right, he's positioned himself as the 231 00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,360 Speaker 2: king maker and the queen maker, and he's not. Stephen 232 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:37,959 Speaker 2: A is a good broadcaster, just like you know, Rush 233 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 2: Limbaugh was a good broadcaster. That doesn't make you a 234 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 2: good person. And just because you're a good broadcaster doesn't 235 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:44,319 Speaker 2: also mean, I don't know, you should be president of 236 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:50,079 Speaker 2: United States. And you, Carrie Champion, are a brilliant person 237 00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 2: who would have made it regardless there was a different 238 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 2: route that you're gonna get at your destination, regardless of 239 00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:00,640 Speaker 2: what the route was. So he was a part of 240 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 2: your journey. But for him to then try to take 241 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:06,600 Speaker 2: your journey and make him self responsible for it, that 242 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 2: is the ultimate asshole arrogance, which is the thing we 243 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:13,120 Speaker 2: hate about him. And so I'm glad that you opened 244 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,840 Speaker 2: up the door to the conversation whoever came into it 245 00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 2: and attacked him rightfully, that isn't your problem, and so 246 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 2: I'm glad you spoke your truth. I think he needed 247 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 2: to hear it. Whether he absorbed it is different. Right, 248 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,320 Speaker 2: people can hear, but whether they really hear here, whether 249 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:30,720 Speaker 2: he listened, I don't know, But I'm glad. 250 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:32,000 Speaker 3: I'm glad you said, well you. 251 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,960 Speaker 1: Had that same instance.

Abby was there, and we know everyone 344 00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:13,400 Speaker 1: goes to back and forth, but the reality is is 345 00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:15,040 Speaker 1: that you have to have your own platform now if 346 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:16,400 Speaker 1: you want to be a part of the game, you 347 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:20,640 Speaker 1: just have to write. But would you ever go back 348 00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:23,080 Speaker 1: to legacy media. I don't even know if legacy media 349 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:24,880 Speaker 1: will exist for the next I don't even know how 350 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 1: it's going to exist rather, but would you go back 351 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:29,520 Speaker 1: to legacy media? No, ma'am. 352 00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:32,040 Speaker 2: And I totally hear you, because I don't know that 353 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,040 Speaker 2: it will. If it exists, it's going to exist in 354 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:34,720 Speaker 2: a very different way. 355 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:35,640 Speaker 3: I mean, you look at now. 356 00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:39,200 Speaker 2: You know there is a House committee that's looking to 357 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:44,320 Speaker 2: investigate CBS because they are asking the very terrifying and 358 00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:46,440 Speaker 2: real question whether the President of the United States is 359 00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:50,120 Speaker 2: now the de facto editor of CBS, and is you know, 360 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:53,560 Speaker 2: determining coverage from the White House? Like that's scary. And 361 00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:56,840 Speaker 2: I don't know that legacy media, it's clearly shown itself 362 00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:01,400 Speaker 2: in this era as not ready to fight the battle 363 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:06,840 Speaker 2: of the First Amendment and fight for democracy. And that's 364 00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,560 Speaker 2: not something it's ever really been very good at I mean, 365 00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:11,720 Speaker 2: in the nineteen thirties, the New York Times was writing 366 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 2: style pieces about Hitler. You know, there's you know, during 367 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:20,879 Speaker 2: the you know, George W. Bush, you know, run up 368 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:22,280 Speaker 2: to the war in a rock, The New York Times 369 00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:24,920 Speaker 2: was basically promoting it. The mainstream media was putting flag 370 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,439 Speaker 2: pins on and promoting getting us into war. I was 371 00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:30,880 Speaker 2: just literally carry this morning taking my dog to daycare 372 00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:34,080 Speaker 2: because my dog is Bougie and we were taking you know, 373 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:40,600 Speaker 2: taking Nola Beyonce Reed daycare. It's a really and I'm 374 00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:43,080 Speaker 2: listening to you know, I just I'm just you know, 375 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:46,440 Speaker 2: flashing through serious exam I pop on CNN, and they're 376 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:49,880 Speaker 2: having like a very serious conversation about these boat murders 377 00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:53,840 Speaker 2: in the Caribbean and talking about it just casually as 378 00:17:53,840 --> 00:18:00,199 Speaker 2: if we're already at war with a narco gang. Like 379 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,520 Speaker 2: we're not at war with this narco gang. And they're 380 00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:05,760 Speaker 2: acting as if they have military analysts on talking about 381 00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:08,040 Speaker 2: this as if we are in an actual declared war, 382 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:13,000 Speaker 2: and the media doesn't have another vibe. They're just knuckling 383 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:16,199 Speaker 2: under to the administration at all times, especially when it's 384 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:17,240 Speaker 2: a republican administration. 385 00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:19,440 Speaker 3: They're not built for it, so no, I wouldn't go back. 386 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:23,359 Speaker 2: And I think I'm worried that they are becoming the 387 00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:28,159 Speaker 2: handmaiden of autocracy rather than a stop gap against it. 388 00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:31,879 Speaker 2: And that worries me because unless we can have you know, 389 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,439 Speaker 2: I listened to Don's speech you know online that he posted. 390 00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:36,600 Speaker 2: It's like, unless we can find a way to have 391 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:41,000 Speaker 2: journalism stand in the gap, it's not being partisan, it's 392 00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:44,159 Speaker 2: standing in the gap for democracy and against autocracy. And 393 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:46,440 Speaker 2: I don't see legacy media as being willing and it's 394 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:48,720 Speaker 2: being bought up by oligarchist. Yeah, I was gonna say, 395 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:50,120 Speaker 2: want autocracy they wanted. 396 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:54,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, I was gonna say, we're watching, everyone's watching who 397 00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,320 Speaker 1: will buy you know, Warner Brothers. We're like, what's going 398 00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:58,639 Speaker 1: to have Warner Brothers Discovery? What will happen? You know? 399 00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:01,119 Speaker 1: I'm particularly have an injury it because of CNN in 400 00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:03,040 Speaker 1: the contract I have with them. I'm like, are they 401 00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:04,800 Speaker 1: getting rid of all the shows? What happens if that 402 00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,159 Speaker 1: does happen? You know, what, what does this look like? 403 00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:11,040 Speaker 1: I think for one of two reasons, And I go 404 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:12,879 Speaker 1: back and forth with this, and I'll ask your advice. 405 00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:15,879 Speaker 1: I think that you have to be all in. I 406 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,520 Speaker 1: don't think there's any way you can walk a fine line, 407 00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:21,280 Speaker 1: not today. I just think in this today, like I mean, 408 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:22,520 Speaker 1: you have to be all in if this is what 409 00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:24,159 Speaker 1: I'm gonna do, if I'm gonna be committed to this, 410 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:25,600 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna do this if you want to, if 411 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:27,080 Speaker 1: you want to rock with me, rock with me. But 412 00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:30,560 Speaker 1: if you don't, so be it. I watch the double 413 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,480 Speaker 1: standard in real time that happens for men versus women, 414 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:35,680 Speaker 1: that happens for black men versus black women, that happens 415 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:38,720 Speaker 1: for you know, minorities versus folks who aren't The double 416 00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:42,119 Speaker 1: standard is frustrating. And I think what I am trying 417 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:44,439 Speaker 1: to focus on it's not the double standard, and what 418 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:46,200 Speaker 1: it is is just be all in where I'm at. 419 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,160 Speaker 1: If this is the line and these are my beliefs, 420 00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,400 Speaker 1: this is where I have to be. There's no way 421 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,399 Speaker 1: you can please do masters. They say it in the Bible. 422 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:54,439 Speaker 1: You just can't do it right. You can't be like, 423 00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:56,200 Speaker 1: let me try to do this and be over here 424 00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:57,399 Speaker 1: with this, and they try to do this and be 425 00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:59,760 Speaker 1: over here with this, this world of well, I'm just 426 00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:02,560 Speaker 1: here and I'm just presenting different facts and different opinions 427 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:05,159 Speaker 1: and everyone can company. It doesn't work that way because 428 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:10,080 Speaker 1: now people are on television using their platforms lying. We 429 00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:14,080 Speaker 1: have walked so far back from the pandemic where people 430 00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:16,320 Speaker 1: during COVID girl that I mean, what was it. How 431 00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:18,920 Speaker 1: long did that last? One point five years? Maybe a year? 432 00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:21,359 Speaker 1: I don't know where people were like, oh wow, we 433 00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:24,679 Speaker 1: are a country that needs to be rehabilitated. There is 434 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:28,040 Speaker 1: this racial renaissance happening and they are understanding. And now 435 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:31,600 Speaker 1: it's like people can talk about Hitler and call him 436 00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:37,000 Speaker 1: a great man. What world do we live in? Yeah, 437 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:37,480 Speaker 1: what is this? 438 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:41,199 Speaker 3: It's crazy to me, it's crazy. So it's crazy. 439 00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:43,600 Speaker 1: The response to that is not to ignore that. The 440 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:45,959 Speaker 1: response to that is not to say this person deserves 441 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,440 Speaker 1: a platform where they can share their opinion. The response 442 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:50,840 Speaker 1: to that is no, that is wrong, that is false, 443 00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:54,080 Speaker 1: that is unfortunate, that is racist, and put every ism 444 00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:57,480 Speaker 1: behind it. And it's there's just no way, in my opinion, 445 00:20:57,520 --> 00:20:59,600 Speaker 1: you can live in the middle with this. Not the 446 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,320 Speaker 1: way that we're living right now with these conservative podcasters 447 00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:04,880 Speaker 1: who have these huge platforms. I'm talking about, you know what, folks, 448 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:05,879 Speaker 1: I'm talking about. 449 00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:09,520 Speaker 2: And I mean, there was a piece that I thought 450 00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:12,520 Speaker 2: was so brilliant that described this as it's happening, you know, 451 00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:15,280 Speaker 2: in CBS world with Barie Weiss, who was a you know, 452 00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:19,520 Speaker 2: anti woke, anti dei, you know, general what do you 453 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,120 Speaker 2: call it, the opinion writer at the New York Times, 454 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:23,479 Speaker 2: and she gets sort are driven out of there. She 455 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:26,560 Speaker 2: creates this substack that's all about anti wokeness, et cetera. 456 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,919 Speaker 3: Now she runs CBS. She gave an interview or she did. 457 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:33,760 Speaker 2: Like a thing on stage, a stage talk, where she 458 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,680 Speaker 2: talked about what she really wants. The sort of golden 459 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:39,960 Speaker 2: mean that she wants is to have this world in 460 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,879 Speaker 2: which you can have a Dana Lesh who is the 461 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:46,000 Speaker 2: woman who used to be the NRA spokesperson, and then 462 00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:51,720 Speaker 2: Alan Dershowitz, who was Jeffrey Epstein's former attorney, debate on 463 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:56,560 Speaker 2: gun reform and then walk away and have dinner together afterwards. 464 00:21:56,600 --> 00:22:00,240 Speaker 2: And it's like, if that is the goal, there's so 465 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:02,919 Speaker 2: much wrong with that, because the thing that this article 466 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:04,959 Speaker 2: pointed out that people hate the most about the media 467 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:09,160 Speaker 2: is the idea that these two people are debating diametrically 468 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:13,600 Speaker 2: opposite values, not even just positions, but values, and then 469 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 2: they go sit down and Kiki and have dinner afterwards, 470 00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:19,680 Speaker 2: meaning that their debate was bullshit, meaning that debate wasn't real, 471 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,000 Speaker 2: it was performative. It was for the cameras. It's why 472 00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:24,919 Speaker 2: Crossfire died way back in the day on CNA. I mean, 473 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:27,080 Speaker 2: you say, how long I've been watching Gable News, Remember 474 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:28,960 Speaker 2: that old show. It died because people felt that the 475 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:32,040 Speaker 2: debate wasn't genuine. And so what we really need is 476 00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:35,159 Speaker 2: people of principle. You could certainly have a debate. I 477 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:38,600 Speaker 2: just had Debbie Wasserman Schultz Commerce from a Debbie Wassermon 478 00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:40,919 Speaker 2: Schultz on jordby Joe last night, and we had a 479 00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:43,560 Speaker 2: whole debate about whether leaving it in Yahoo is a 480 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:46,240 Speaker 2: war criminal. You know, I think it's valuable to actually 481 00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:49,160 Speaker 2: tease those debates out. But everyone has to be coming 482 00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:53,000 Speaker 2: from a genuine position, right. Don't need performance in this moment. 483 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:56,919 Speaker 2: We need real conversations about real things because we're in 484 00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:58,680 Speaker 2: a real crisis. 485 00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:00,600 Speaker 3: With our democracy crisis. 486 00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:01,560 Speaker 1: This isn't just. 487 00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:04,520 Speaker 2: Like bad politics and like a weird political season. You know, 488 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:07,720 Speaker 2: we have an autocracy sitting in the White House. People 489 00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:11,160 Speaker 2: are being disappeared off the streets. There are children who 490 00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:15,160 Speaker 2: are missing because ice grabbed them and their parents separated them, 491 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,600 Speaker 2: and now one is can't be found he as a 492 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:22,520 Speaker 2: child or the parent. We're having literal kidnappings in plane sight, 493 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:26,160 Speaker 2: broad daylight, masks, men who we can't even confirm. Our 494 00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:29,480 Speaker 2: agents of the federal government taking people like we're in 495 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:33,680 Speaker 2: Defcon one. Citizens are being US citizens are being sent 496 00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:35,960 Speaker 2: out of the country to countries they've never even been to. 497 00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:39,360 Speaker 3: Because this regime wants to get rid of. 498 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:42,119 Speaker 2: Brown and black people. They're just sending them to Swatini 499 00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:44,360 Speaker 2: and they've never been there. It's like, what is happening. 500 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,280 Speaker 2: This is not this is deaf con one. We don't 501 00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:48,360 Speaker 2: have time for this bullshit. 502 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:51,000 Speaker 1: You can't have, to your point, a healthy debate if 503 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:54,960 Speaker 1: it's not genuine, because we're talking about real things right now. 504 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,399 Speaker 1: I'm really curious to get your opinion on why you 505 00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:22,000 Speaker 1: believe Jeffrey Epstein is the one thing that has really 506 00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:27,200 Speaker 1: rocked MAGA. Like we we didn't see any movement until 507 00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:31,000 Speaker 1: we saw this. They were aligned, there was allegiance he 508 00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:34,560 Speaker 1: Trump was king. No one was saying that he was 509 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,840 Speaker 1: not that person. And now you start to see these 510 00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:41,240 Speaker 1: these fractures, these fissures. I was listening to a podcast 511 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:43,920 Speaker 1: the other day in politics, and he was just like, I, 512 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,359 Speaker 1: this is the thing, you know what I mean. And 513 00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:49,919 Speaker 1: I'm curious as to why you've been You've been covering 514 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:52,440 Speaker 1: politics all of your life, most of your life. Why 515 00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:56,960 Speaker 1: do you feel like the And this is not a 516 00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:59,680 Speaker 1: question where I'm being cheeky.

I'm 520 00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:14,040 Speaker 1: really curious as to why you believe this is the 521 00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:16,280 Speaker 1: thing that started to see the cracks that had people 522 00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:19,240 Speaker 1: like you know, even though it might be you know, 523 00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:21,960 Speaker 1: selfishly motive vaded for MTG to do what she did, 524 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,080 Speaker 1: but like, why is this the thing? 525 00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:27,160 Speaker 3: I actually think she genuinely believes it? And I'll tell 526 00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:28,640 Speaker 3: I don't think she's genuine about much. 527 00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:33,520 Speaker 2: And and the reason is QAnon and to and to 528 00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:35,240 Speaker 2: to give you kind of the kind of give a 529 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:37,080 Speaker 2: little bit of the backstory. So you know, like I said, 530 00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:39,000 Speaker 2: I you know, I went to out my age. I 531 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,000 Speaker 2: went to high school in the late nineteen eighties. I 532 00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:43,560 Speaker 2: graduate high school in the late nineteen eighties. I'm oh, bitch, 533 00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:46,840 Speaker 2: she's not she's sassy. We don't get Oh, we get fine, 534 00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:50,600 Speaker 2: we get fine.

Yeah. 536 00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:54,960 Speaker 2: And so when I was in high school and what 537 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:56,920 Speaker 2: do we more, junior high school and junior high I 538 00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,399 Speaker 2: went into high school, there was this thing that happened 539 00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:04,160 Speaker 2: where the right wing in the country, particularly white Christian conservatives, 540 00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:08,000 Speaker 2: were claiming that if you listen to pop or especially 541 00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:12,080 Speaker 2: rock music, and you played the songs backwards, you would 542 00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:13,840 Speaker 2: hear the devil speaking to you. 543 00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:15,120 Speaker 3: This was a real thing. 544 00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:17,639 Speaker 2: It was a whole like meme, and it was like 545 00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:19,159 Speaker 2: a vibe on the right where they were like, you 546 00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:21,080 Speaker 2: can't play you know. They were like the Beatles, if 547 00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,320 Speaker 2: you play it backwards, you're gonna hear devil music. If 548 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:25,919 Speaker 2: you play led Zeppelin, you can play it backwards. And 549 00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,359 Speaker 2: if you play a lot of pop music, you would 550 00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:31,240 Speaker 2: hear these devil messages in them. So a lot of 551 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:33,280 Speaker 2: people were like buying the records and trying to play 552 00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:34,920 Speaker 2: them backwards they could try to hear it. They thought 553 00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:37,560 Speaker 2: it was just this weird moment. But what they claim 554 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:42,520 Speaker 2: the devil messages would do is to try to make 555 00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:48,879 Speaker 2: children subject to pedophiles grooming. They were obsessed with the 556 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:54,239 Speaker 2: idea that there was a conspiracy among Hollywood people and 557 00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:59,520 Speaker 2: music musicians to create child victims of pedophilia, to massively 558 00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:03,440 Speaker 2: recruit children to exploit them because they were a bunch 559 00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:06,480 Speaker 2: of pedophiles. This was a theme of the far right 560 00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:11,320 Speaker 2: that has latently flowed throughout the right. 561 00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:13,679 Speaker 3: Beliefs politically. 562 00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:17,199 Speaker 2: It's part of their They were obsessed with trying to 563 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:20,840 Speaker 2: claim that you couldn't have gay teachers because they were 564 00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:23,520 Speaker 2: going to groom children for pedophilia. 565 00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:25,720 Speaker 3: For you, it was an obsession. 566 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:30,159 Speaker 1: So you're telling me this has been the foundation of 567 00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:33,080 Speaker 1: far right like this for this long for a very 568 00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:35,919 Speaker 1: long time. This pedophilia, this, this horror, this, all of 569 00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:38,760 Speaker 1: these things that they considered demonic, and it's been a 570 00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:42,040 Speaker 1: part of their foundation and and and shape and their 571 00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:44,920 Speaker 1: beliefs and who and how they vote and how they live. 572 00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:49,120 Speaker 1: So we here we have this Jeffrey Epstein guy. 573 00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:51,879 Speaker 2: That proves QAnon tree right, because remember what QAnon was. 574 00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:54,159 Speaker 2: So it went latent for a little while, right, you 575 00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:56,800 Speaker 2: didn't really hear about it as much. Then it really 576 00:27:56,840 --> 00:28:00,000 Speaker 2: came back through QAnon. And remember Marjorie Taylor Green, before 577 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,480 Speaker 2: she was a politician, was they called her a q tuber. 578 00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:06,760 Speaker 2: She had a q andon curious YouTube personality. And they 579 00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:09,080 Speaker 2: believe their core belief from on QAnon and they are 580 00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:12,240 Speaker 2: mainly white Christians. There are some black QAnon ors too, 581 00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:15,440 Speaker 2: but QAnon's core belief is that there's a global pedophile 582 00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:19,959 Speaker 2: ring that's being run by Hollywood people, Hollywood executives, and 583 00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:24,280 Speaker 2: liberal politicians, and that they're pretending to be politicians and 584 00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:26,600 Speaker 2: normal people, but they're really just running a big pedophile ring. 585 00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:29,480 Speaker 2: And so that is their core belief and that is 586 00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:32,919 Speaker 2: a huge basis of MAGA. A lot of MAGA people 587 00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:36,159 Speaker 2: come through the q andon landscape. They come through the 588 00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:39,760 Speaker 2: Christian far right down. Trump's base are right wing white Christians, 589 00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:43,880 Speaker 2: and this QAnon latency was really undercovered in mainstream media, 590 00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:46,000 Speaker 2: but it's a really important part of his base, the 591 00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:49,600 Speaker 2: Marjorie Taylor Green wing of MAGA. Then along comes this 592 00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:53,960 Speaker 2: Jeffrey Epstein story, which during the campaign, people like Dan 593 00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:57,680 Speaker 2: Bongino Cash Pattel, who were podcasters at the time, were 594 00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:00,600 Speaker 2: pushing this is going to be blown wide open if 595 00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:03,640 Speaker 2: Trump can become president. He is the q in QAnon 596 00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:07,680 Speaker 2: he's going to expose this lo pedophile ring, right, and 597 00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:09,800 Speaker 2: they tied it to Trump. They said, we gotta get 598 00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:12,760 Speaker 2: Trump in there because the Democrats and they are like 599 00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:15,640 Speaker 2: Bill Clinton is part of this pedophile ring. If we 600 00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:18,520 Speaker 2: can just get Trump in, he's going to blow open 601 00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:21,520 Speaker 2: the Q and on conspiracy. Then Trump gets in, he 602 00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:24,440 Speaker 2: promises that he's going to release three things, the JFK 603 00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:27,000 Speaker 2: files and we're going to prove the real conspiracy mind JFK, 604 00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:29,720 Speaker 2: the MLK file is going to prove the conspiracy behind 605 00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:32,800 Speaker 2: the mlk's assassination, and the Epstein files. He then comes 606 00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:35,080 Speaker 2: in and it turns out that was his bestie for 607 00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:36,360 Speaker 2: fifteen years. He had released it not a. 608 00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:37,920 Speaker 3: Damp Stein file. 609 00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:42,000 Speaker 2: He hires Cash Hotel, makes him FBI director. Castel used 610 00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:43,959 Speaker 2: to say, the FBI director is who has the Q Andon, 611 00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:45,160 Speaker 2: who has the Epstein files. 612 00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:48,520 Speaker 3: Now he is Epstein. He is the FBI director Dan. 613 00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:52,000 Speaker 2: Bongino, who seems super uncomfortable with now being told to 614 00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:57,400 Speaker 2: suppress this information he himself promised would come out. Donald 615 00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:00,040 Speaker 2: Trump did the perfect scam. You want to bury the 616 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:03,040 Speaker 2: Epstein files, become the president based on saying you're going 617 00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:05,360 Speaker 2: to release them, and then suppress them, and it was 618 00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:06,680 Speaker 2: desperate to suppress them. 619 00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:10,680 Speaker 1: But now that is why to my original question, Now 620 00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:12,440 Speaker 1: we're starting to see cracks in MAGA. 621 00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:16,120 Speaker 2: Correct because MAGA already has a core belief that there 622 00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:17,239 Speaker 2: is a global pedophile ring. 623 00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:17,760 Speaker 3: And guess what. 624 00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:20,840 Speaker 2: There was a global pedophile ring. Jeffrey Epstein was running it. 625 00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:23,760 Speaker 2: And what they didn't count on is that their guy, 626 00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:27,200 Speaker 2: their c their king, Donald Trump, was best friends with 627 00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:30,400 Speaker 2: the guy running a legitimate global pedophile ring. There was 628 00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:33,960 Speaker 2: a real global pedophile ring. There were multiple model agents 629 00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:37,080 Speaker 2: involved in it. John Casablancas was accused of it, Jean 630 00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:40,480 Speaker 2: Luca Brunell was accused of it, Jeffrey Epstein, Donald Trump 631 00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:41,760 Speaker 2: also had a modeling agency. 632 00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,360 Speaker 3: All these men and I'm not saying hmas pedophile, like 633 00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:45,040 Speaker 3: not say. 634 00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:47,080 Speaker 2: That, but we're saying they all knew each other. And 635 00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:49,880 Speaker 2: you had all these men that were dealing with very 636 00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:53,800 Speaker 2: young women and models, some of whom were allegedly abusing 637 00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:56,200 Speaker 2: some of their own models. And so you now have 638 00:30:56,360 --> 00:31:00,480 Speaker 2: this world that the MAGA base is seeing exposed. They 639 00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:02,800 Speaker 2: want more information, and they finally feel like they are 640 00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:06,240 Speaker 2: right on the big brink of blowing the whole conspiracy open. 641 00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:10,200 Speaker 2: And Donald Trump is not powerful enough with his rhetoric 642 00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:13,360 Speaker 2: and whatever these he tries to do to suppress that belief. 643 00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:17,320 Speaker 2: So now MAGA is cracking because the base came with 644 00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:19,640 Speaker 2: that belief, and now a lot of what they believe 645 00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:22,200 Speaker 2: has been proven true, not all of it. Some of 646 00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:24,280 Speaker 2: it is crazy, the Pizzagate stuff and all the things. 647 00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:27,400 Speaker 2: It's the core part of their belief. The Qton believe 648 00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:30,840 Speaker 2: they weren't wrong. There isn't There was a global. 649 00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:34,240 Speaker 3: Pedophile and it was involving right the people the most. 650 00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:36,800 Speaker 1: The simple structure of them believing there's a global pedophile 651 00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:40,280 Speaker 1: ring happening was that's that was true, is what you're saying. 652 00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:43,160 Speaker 2: Run by this super elite. We had Prince Andrew, so 653 00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:45,880 Speaker 2: you had former prime ministers, So that was what they 654 00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,920 Speaker 2: were actually and now they oh my goodness, this stuff 655 00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:49,440 Speaker 2: is so deep. 656 00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:52,000 Speaker 1: You know what I need you to do. I need 657 00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:55,160 Speaker 1: you and others to do. I would like I would 658 00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:58,280 Speaker 1: like a podcast dedicated to this that breaks that all down. 659 00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:00,800 Speaker 1: I think you I think if if it's a podcast, 660 00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:04,160 Speaker 1: maybe it's a five minute episode on your show every day, 661 00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:06,560 Speaker 1: but like breaking it all down so we can understand 662 00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:09,760 Speaker 1: what is happening. Because I just feel like the everyday person, 663 00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:12,320 Speaker 1: even those who were on TV talking about it, they 664 00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:14,920 Speaker 1: don't get into the minutia. And I think it's because 665 00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:16,120 Speaker 1: of the Q and on of it all that makes 666 00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:18,120 Speaker 1: people a little nervous because it's hard to explain a 667 00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:20,960 Speaker 1: conspiracy theory and without sounding crazy and all the things. 668 00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:24,000 Speaker 1: But my point being is that there's so much happening 669 00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:26,480 Speaker 1: in real time. And I walk down the street and 670 00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:28,120 Speaker 1: they're like, so, we're gonna see the files down what's 671 00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:31,480 Speaker 1: supposed to be in the foules?
