Speaker 1: You supposed to say okay.

12
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:27,040

Speaker 5: My first name is Lenard, but the teachers would always

18
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 5: say Leonard, right, and so I would get tired of

19
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 5: correcting them.

20
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:42,839

00:00:56,360 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 3: be here. Man, right, and on Netflix now has a

28
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 3: big deal.

29
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:09,960
Speaker 2: Tell us how much you nanny.

30
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 3: Because killing brag. Man, I don't like to brag. It's

31
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 3: not cool to you know. No they I mean, Disney

32
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 3: pays well, it pays well. I'm not gonna lie h

33
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 3: Apple Disney. Netflix doesn't pay well for actors anymore. I

34
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 3: don't know about Your show is a totally different thing.

35
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:35,400
Speaker 3: Licenses is different, right. I like the way it is

36
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 3: a little different.

37
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 4: Let's talk about the killing nannys on the first well,

38
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 4: which is tomorrow, and it's about but in a different light.

39
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 3: Absolute because everybody's done correct, you know, and I guess

40
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 3: you know, like white actors have to do like Hamlet

41
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 3: and they all do it. Latin actors all have to

42
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 3: do to show who's the best because have you but

43
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 3: them did it, and he said, Toro did it, Wag

44
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 3: no more. We just got nominated for an Oscar did it.

45
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 3: So now it's my turn to do it. So everybody

46
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 3: did good. Some didn't get the accent quite right, a

47
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 3: couple I'm not gonna name who, and something get the

48
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 3: gestures the behavior. So I tried to do it all. Man.

49
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,839
Speaker 3: I studied my ass off. I watched every tape, every

50
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 3: recording he ever had. I read everything about him, I

51
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 3: talked to his son, gave me a lot of tips

52
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 3: about how to play him nice and things that happened.

53
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,519
Speaker 3: Because the Sun was a consultant on this one for

54
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,799
Speaker 3: the first time ever, so we've seen the inside of

55
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 3: what happened and what was said at home. And that's

56
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,959
Speaker 3: what's exciting about this show because you didn't know what

57
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,920
Speaker 3: was going on, like the kind of fear that they

58
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 3: lived under, even though he was I guess the wealthiest

59
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 3: gangster that ever lived. He was worth thirty billion when

60
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 3: he died. I guess that's seventy billion in today's twenty

61
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 3: twenty six money, so he's the wealthiest. But he still

62
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,919
Speaker 3: had to move homes sometimes stay away from the family

63
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 3: so he could be like a decoil away from them.

64
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 3: The son tried to go to school, but the DA

65
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,359
Speaker 3: was after them assassination attempts. The kids were afraid of him,

66
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 3: so he had to be schooled at home by these

67
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 3: trained assassin nannies. And they became his friends, his family,

68
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 3: and you know, you can't totally trust them because they're

69
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 3: not really family, and they some of them became informants,

70
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 3: so Pablo had to off some of them, and then

71
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,679
Speaker 3: that was confusing to the son that his dad was

72
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 3: taking out some of the nannies that he loved. And

73
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 3: so that's all in the series. It's really wild.

74
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 4: It's not about the drug part of it. It's more

75
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 4: about the son growing up and how his father was

76
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 4: a father.

77
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 3: Exactly trying to be a father, you know. And you

78
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 3: know back then it was a tough love kind of love.

79
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 3: But Pablo was the first guy in Columbian maybe in

80
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 3: all of Latin America in the eighties because it was

81
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 3: a tough love kind of you raise your son like

82
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 3: being tough, you want to made him prepare for the world.

83
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 3: He would say I love you, kiss him, hug him

84
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 3: in public, at home, everywhere, and Columbian dads weren't doing that. Obviously.

85
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 3: Pablo knew that he might die. That's why he was

86
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 3: more affectionate. But he but you know, because I hug

87
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 3: and kissed my son and say I love you. But

88
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 3: that's not how my dad treated me. My dad was

89
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 3: like every day I seed you, you get more stupid

90
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 3: or than the last day. That's how my dad, you

91
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 3: know there is back then.

92
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 2: Did playing him in this series humanize them for you?

93
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 3: I would We were trying not to humanize him and

94
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:24,839
Speaker 3: normalize him. You know, we do show all the killings

95
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 3: and the assassinations that he did, ah, but but we

96
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 3: do show, uh, the parents side. That was complicated because

97
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,159
Speaker 3: the son did call him out a lot of times.

98
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 3: You know, he's you know, what kind of life are

99
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 3: we living? You're killing the nannies, You're killing some of

100
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 3: my friends. Are you gonna kill my mom? And she

101
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 3: says the wrong thing to you? So he the son

102
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 3: does call him out in the show, which is that

103
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 3: that's the only part that you might feel kind of

104
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 3: humanizing him a little bit.

105
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,280
Speaker 5: Why why did he Why was he so willing to

106
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 5: just kill people and let people know that he was

107
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 5: killing him You would think that would be something he

108
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:01,480
Speaker 5: would keep himself.

109
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, because he was.

110
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 2: He was.

111
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 3: He owned Columbia. You know, he owned the whole country.

112
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 3: He owned the government. He was bribing everybody. His thing

113
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:14,159
Speaker 3: was blatta or blomo. So either you take the bribe

114
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 3: or you get a bullet. So that was your choice

115
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 3: that he put to everybody, and he took. You know,

116
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 3: he bombed a lot of journalists, he bombed a lot

117
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 3: of politicians. He controlled the country. Basically, he told him

118
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 3: that he would pay their debt if they let him

119
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 3: take over completely.

120
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: Were you nervous a scared plane this part at all?

121
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 3: You know it's been years now. No, no, I'm not.

122
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:36,040
Speaker 3: I'm not scared anymore.

123
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 1: I was just like, what do you mean anymore?

124
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 2: He was getting first?

125
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,040
Speaker 3: You know, back in the day, you couldn't do that

126
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,280
Speaker 3: because you know, who knows somebody might come after you.

127
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 3: But now, I mean it's years later, you know.

128
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 6: Which drew to the role initially.

129
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 3: To show up everybody that I could do it better

130
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:56,159
Speaker 3: than everybody else. And I think I did a crazy

131
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 3: good job. Man. There one actor that might have beat me,

132
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 3: the Colombian actor who did a TV series about Pablo.

133
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 3: He looked just exactly like him. His accent was perfection,

134
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 3: the gestures. I'm second, I think, but you you judge

135
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 3: for yourself.

136
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,600
Speaker 2: What is the role like this demand from you emotionally

137
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 2: that that other roles did?

138
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 3: Uh?

139
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 2: Well, this one.

140
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 3: You know, it was a lot of research that more

141
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 3: than other roles where I could be myself or tap

142
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 3: different parts myself, here I had to like reach to

143
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 3: the level that you could play a power Escobar tape

144
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 3: next to me and me and see that there's not

145
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 3: that much difference, you know that That's what I was after.

146
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 7: Yeah, I saw that his son told the La Times

147
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 7: that doing a movie like this is like his way

148
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 7: to tell the truth and to kind of push back

149
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 7: against the way that other movies has made the violence

150
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 7: a spectacle. But how do you not make it a

151
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,840
Speaker 7: spectacle because he's so notorious, and like, you got to

152
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 7: include all of that stuff. So like in the writing,

153
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 7: how did they try and figure it out?

154
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, because we did. We did still show all

155
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 3: his violence, you know, all all the assassinations attempts that

156
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 3: he put on people, and and and uh and the

157
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 3: and the and the kind of life of paranoid that

158
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 3: he lived. We kept that. But I think the difference

159
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 3: in this is that you see what the family life

160
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 3: was like at home with the wife and with the kids,

161
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 3: and how he was trying to be a loving dad,

162
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 3: but his morality said the opposite message. You know, he

163
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 3: just couldn't help it. I mean, I mean, we all

164
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 3: mess up as parents, but our kids are gonna hate

165
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 3: us for something. But I mean he had extra you know,

166
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 3: he had all that, having to move the kids from

167
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 3: place to place, having to stay away from them, so

168
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 3: that he wouldn't bring violence to the house. And eventually,

169
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 3: you know, that kind of lifestyle always ends the way

170
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 3: it always ends, you know, like he got shot up.

171
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 6: We're talking to the sun, right and I imagine his

172
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 6: son had to relive all this and go down memory

173
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 6: lane a lot. Was it ever emotional for him?

174
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 3: Do you think, yeah, he got he got emotional, you know,

175
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 3: because he did love his dad. You know, I guess

176
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 3: he had a lot of words and some beef towards

177
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 3: the end. But I guess you have to make up

178
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 3: for that after your dad passes. You know, he changed

179
00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 3: his whole life. He moved to Argentina, that changed his name,

180
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 3: became a psychologist. I guess you would have to become

181
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 3: a psychologist lifestyle and and and he goes around the

182
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 3: world doing you know, speeches about you know, giving good,

183
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 3: putting out good.

184
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 6: That's amazing.

185
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 3: So that that's how he escaped the sins of the father.

186
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 7: But even though he's done all of that, does is

187
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 7: there like traumas that he still deals with daily even

188
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 7: all these years later.

189
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 3: You know, he definitely has to deal with I mean,

190
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 3: the way they grew up and and all that money

191
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 3: that he didn't get because you know, a lot of

192
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 3: it was disappeared. It we never it was never really

193
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:37,719
Speaker 3: discovered where a lot of that money went. But I

194
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 3: think a lot of people robbed it and took.

195
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 2: It, and law enforcement, I'm sure they got.

196
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 3: A huge chunk of that, and all his other comrades

197
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 3: must have taken a piece.

198
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 4: And I wanted to know, you know, for for Colombians,

199
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,200
Speaker 4: how did they view Pablo, because you know, did they

200
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 4: love him or was it just a fearful.

201
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 1: Thing or did they hate him?

202
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 3: They hate him, I mean, I think you see the

203
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:04,559
Speaker 3: journalists and people who are law abiding citizens hate him,

204
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,959
Speaker 3: But you know, the people in the town, they loved

205
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:09,439
Speaker 3: him because he did all the right things, you know,

206
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,439
Speaker 3: and he was representing them because you know Latin America,

207
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 3: you know, it's it's ten percent of the people run everything,

208
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 3: and anybody else lives in poverty, you know. So he

209
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 3: was building stadiums, churches, you know, helping out building schools.

210
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,560
Speaker 3: He did all the right things to make people love him,

211
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 3: and he represented sort of the little man, the ordinary guy,

212
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 3: the underdog, making it making it big, busting out of

213
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 3: this sort of world where if you're born into money,

214
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 3: you get the education, you get the best jobs, you know,

215
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 3: and that you know, and also like the more white

216
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 3: looking you are in Latin America, the more successful you are.

217
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,319
Speaker 3: And if you're more Indigenous or Afro Latino, it's a

218
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,959
Speaker 3: much tougher life. Just you know, all that colonists, colonialism

219
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 3: and conquest doesn't go away that easy.

220
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 2: You know, how do you pivot between comedy, you know,

221
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 2: doing dramas like this.

222
00:09:57,760 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 3: Because I'm an amazing.

223
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 2: You know what I mean? Like, how do you pivot

224
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:03,079
Speaker 2: between all that stuff?

225
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 3: So? Because I'm an amazing actor, that's why? How else

226
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 3: can you do that? Yeah? You know, I love what

227
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:10,679
Speaker 3: I do, man, I love I love animated voices like

228
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,439
Speaker 3: Incanto and shit the sloth and I love doing that.

229
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 3: Plus you know, the check is really nice too. That's

230
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 3: another Disney check, by the way, two Disney checks. License

231
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 3: to Disneyey.

232
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 5: I feel like I know Bruno, Like we don't talk

233
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 5: about Bruno. But is it effortless as you make it look?

234
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 3: Yeah? Pretty much? You know something I know? Yeah, I

235
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,319
Speaker 3: mean the the I do the voices easily. But the

236
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 3: problem was a harder one because you know, English is

237
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 3: my dominant language, so even though Spanish is my mother tongue,

238
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 3: that to get that right, I had to work really

239
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 3: hard because I had a lot of pressure. I don't

240
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,199
Speaker 3: I didn't want Columbians to be embarrassed by me that

241
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 3: I messed up, you know, I messed up with that representation.

242
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:50,959
Speaker 3: I didn't want to do that.

243
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 2: But you know, you're you're a You're just a great

244
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:56,440
Speaker 2: actor period, not a great Latino actor. Right.

245
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:57,959
Speaker 3: Oh, thank you, bro, thank you? Yeah?

246
00:10:58,040 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, do you why do you think the industry still

247
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 5: moves so slow when it comes to I guess just inclusion.

248
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, well you know, obviously this administration doesn't make

249
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 3: it easier, you know, deeming us d ei. You know,

250
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:14,679
Speaker 3: like we were got the jobs because of our skin color, ethnicity. No,

251
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 3: we got here because of our greater talent. Because to

252
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 3: be a black or Latin talent you have to be

253
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 3: ten times better than a white talent to get that job.

254
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 3: It's not less talent. You have to have more talent.

255
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 3: And then you're still not selected for everything I Hollywood.

256
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 3: You know, back in the day, they would be straight up.

257
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 3: They would tell you to my face, you know they would.

258
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 3: You know, some producer came to me with doing Spawn

259
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 3: and he said to me, you know, too bad, your

260
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 3: Puerto Rican because if you if you want Puerto Rican,

261
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 3: you'd be such a big movie star. But that was

262
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 3: the reality of things, you know. And then executives, when

263
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,559
Speaker 3: you pitch them a story, they will go, you know,

264
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 3: that's really good and everything. But you know, we don't

265
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 3: have to do Latin content because Latin people go to

266
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:57,079
Speaker 3: the movies no matter what they see. They'd rather see

267
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 3: white people. And I'll go, what you know, they would

268
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:00,679
Speaker 3: tell you that to your face. Now they don't tell

269
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 3: you anything. They just you don't hear anything. You don't

270
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:04,440
Speaker 3: hear it. It's silent radio.

271
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 6: Now, Spaun, you absolutely killed it. That was one of

272
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 6: my favorite. But when they told you that, what was

273
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:13,599
Speaker 6: going through your mind? Like what did that crush you

274
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 6: in any way? Discourage you in any way at that point?

275
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 3: No, that was a fact. That was a fact. I

276
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 3: mean that that back then in the in those days,

277
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,080
Speaker 3: you know, there was this thing called the Ross Report

278
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 3: that would come out on Mondays. This is I'm talking

279
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 3: about the eighties, ancient history. Uh, the Russ Report come

280
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 3: out money and tell you every movie that was available,

281
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 3: every role that was available, and it was a little

282
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 3: Jim Crow or Juan Crow because that's what they called

283
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 3: it people.

284
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 5: That was.

285
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 3: What they called it for Latin people in the Southwest

286
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 3: because there was Jim Crow laws against us as well.

287
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 3: We were allowed to go to churches, parks, uh, movies,

288
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 3: you know, you couldn't eat with white people or going

289
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 3: to pool when white people went back in those days,

290
00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 3: in the eighteen hundreds and before that. So this rust

291
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 3: report would come out and would say white lead, white doctor,

292
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:07,319
Speaker 3: white lawyer, white love interests, white this. And then every

293
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 3: five months I get like a Latin drug dealer, and

294
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 3: I would ask my agent, can I go up for

295
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 3: these other roles? Let me just do my monologue, let

296
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 3: me just read for them. They'll see they won't even

297
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:17,719
Speaker 3: see you. They wouldn't see you that. So that's that's

298
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:19,719
Speaker 3: the way it was. No matter how talented you were,

299
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,679
Speaker 3: or how you studied or whatever, you were never going

300
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 3: to get the opportunity, the same opportunity as a white actor.

301
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 5: It feels like even now, like Hollywood celebrates Latino culture

302
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 5: but still doesn't trust Latinos to like lead major project.

303
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 3: Right right, I mean, we're twenty percent of the population,

304
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:39,320
Speaker 3: were over index at thirty percent of the box office. Wow,

305
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 3: for bad boys. We are forty percent of the box office,

306
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 3: and until we get twenty percent of executives, then things

307
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:50,960
Speaker 3: are going to change. But until we have Latin executives,

308
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 3: things aren't going to change that much.

309
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 5: I don't know why the white people fighting it though,

310
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 5: if the country's getting more brown up.

311
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, just I know it makes everything better?

312
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 7: Are you so?

313
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:02,679
Speaker 3: What what are you holding? I mean, it's so lazy,

314
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,679
Speaker 3: it makes makes no sense. We all could get along

315
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 3: to have a great time. It's gonna flip anyway. White

316
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 3: people are only fifty eight point two percent of the population.

317
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 3: They're almost just nearly have but they're still getting ninety

318
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:17,560
Speaker 3: percent of the rolls, ninety percent of the executives, ninety

319
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 3: percent of everything.

320
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 5: You think it's our fault sometimes because we don't show

321
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 5: up with the green like we should, meaning like meaning

322
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 5: like when there's a project, you know, led by a

323
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 5: brown person, or how people should make sure they show up,

324
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 5: like when it's the project led by a black person,

325
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 5: like you should make sure they show up because everybody

326
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 5: cares about money at the day.

327
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, but you know, we black and Latin people

328
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 3: do show up when when the content is right, you know,

329
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 3: I mean, the content has to be right. But sometimes

330
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 3: a lot of Latin content is not written by Latin

331
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 3: people or directed by a Latin person. So you have

332
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 3: all this cultural appropriation that makes things look weak and

333
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 3: soft and doesn't represent correctly. And people can smell that out,

334
00:14:54,760 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 3: you know. But look Fluffy the comedian. He sell is

335
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 3: out Dodger Stadium. There's no comedian in America that can

336
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 3: sell out Dodger Stadium. Bad Bunny sold out Yankee Stadium twice.

337
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 3: Marcandy sells out the mass a. Latin people show up

338
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 3: for the content that's genuine, that's theirs. I mean, George

339
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 3: Lopez and I when we do the rice and bean

00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 3: stay as long as you keep selling out, and then

357
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 3: you move to the next town.

358
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 2: Yeah.

359
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 4: You had a strong message for Ice and the follows

360
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 4: of Ice, and you didn't want to match the show.

361
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 4: I want to read it because it says, uh, if

362
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 4: you follow Ice, don't come to my shows, don't watch

363
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 4: my movies.

364
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, why was that follow me?

365
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 1: Why was that so important for you?

366
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 3: It was important to me because the way I see

367
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 3: Latin bodies being treated, you know, mom's, grandmothers, children, pregnant women.

368
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 3: I mean, why are you arresting children? I mean, how

369
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 3: do you do that?

370
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 2: How can you?

371
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 3: How can you wrap your mind around that? It's so

372
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 3: inhuman and cruel and and the way they're treating people.

373
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 3: You see that, and so yeah, I can't I can't

374
00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 3: be for these these uh kind of like domestic terrorists

375
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:06,200
Speaker 3: going around covering their faces, not giving badges, not reading

376
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,920
Speaker 3: you your rights, not treating people with respect. That that's

377
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 3: that's not what they set out to do with then't

378
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:14,679
Speaker 3: they set out to grab criminals. These aren't criminals, obviously,

379
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 3: they're just innocent people. I mean, then reading them their

380
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 3: rights and not treating them with due process, that's not America.

381
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 3: That's not the America that I believe in.

382
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:26,160
Speaker 5: At the airport, yeah, airport, I don't think that the one.

383
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:27,399
Speaker 5: I think the ones at the airport are not the

384
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:30,360
Speaker 5: same ones. They're industry, right, I think it's I think

385
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:33,119
Speaker 5: it's a totally different bunch of people because they're so

386
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:35,160
Speaker 5: nice and they're so helpful.

387
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 2: And Trump said that it was image rehab.

388
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 3: For Oh, that's absolutely what it looks like.

389
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 5: What I think he wanted to do is you know,

390
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:44,680
Speaker 5: you go to the airport and you realize, oh, they're

391
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:46,679
Speaker 5: so nice. And then so when he says, and we're

392
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 5: going to have them at the voting boosts during the midterms,

393
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:51,119
Speaker 5: you're not gonna think noting.

394
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 3: Of it, right, Right, that's that private military send them

395
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 3: wherever he wants. Yeah, I mean that's what it looked like.

396
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:00,399
Speaker 3: The optics to me was the other day I was

397
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:01,879
Speaker 3: in the airport. It was like, Oh, you're trying to

398
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,160
Speaker 3: normalize these guys and make them look like they okay

399
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:07,200
Speaker 3: because they're not wearing the masks, they're not grabbing anybody,

400
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 3: They're just standing around. Yeah.

401
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:11,159
Speaker 1: Have you got backlash at all for that, for that

402
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:12,120
Speaker 1: statement that pulled over?

403
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:16,120
Speaker 3: Not yet. But I'm taking lots of precautions. Yeah. Yeah,

404
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 3: And you know, my family's afraid. You know, when you

405
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 3: speak out there are consequences, you know. So yeah, yeah,

406
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 3: I take much more precautions than I used to. You know,

407
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:27,679
Speaker 3: I make sure my phone's on lockdown mode and whatnot.

408
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 2: Did they see you? How do they treat your del

409
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 2: They looked at me.

410
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:32,640
Speaker 3: I balled me, and I balled them back.

411
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 2: Yeah.

412
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 3: I wasn't friendly and I'm not going to be friendly

413
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,159
Speaker 3: to people who are treating my people the way they are.

414
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 3: And the problem is the majority of these ICE guys

415
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:46,720
Speaker 3: are Latino and black. That's that bug the hell out

416
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,119
Speaker 3: of it. I mean, how do you deal with that?

417
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 3: I mean the majority of the people, and I know

418
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 3: they're going for a check, most of them, but still.

419
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 1: How do you treat these your people?

420
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:56,160
Speaker 2: Yeah?

421
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 3: How do you treat your own people.

422
00:18:58,040 --> 00:18:59,879
Speaker 2: I'm telling you, the ones in the airport are not

423
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,160
Speaker 2: the same ones that are on the street. I truly believe.

424
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:02,440
Speaker 3: Yeah.

425
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:04,880
Speaker 5: But now now, but when the midterms come, the ones

426
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:06,400
Speaker 5: that's gonna be in the voter moves are the ones

427
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:07,119
Speaker 5: that were in the street.

428
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:09,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, right, right right? All that thuggery.

429
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 5: Now, what's something about Hollywood that you used to accept

430
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:13,880
Speaker 5: that you'd never tolerate?

431
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 3: No, I you know, I used to accept all white movies,

432
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:22,399
Speaker 3: all white movies, all white events. You know, that was

433
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 3: just like you thought, I guess there's not enough of us,

434
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 3: or or we're just not good enough to be there,

435
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 3: you know. But now I don't accept that anymore. I

436
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:33,159
Speaker 3: won't go see a movie that's all white. I just

437
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 3: I just won't because it's it's we were in history,

438
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 3: Latin black people were. We've been here since five since

439
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 3: the conquest and before we you know, like I used

440
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 3: to love Madmott, but then I was like, what, there's

441
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:51,159
Speaker 3: not one Latin person. Come on, in the sixties, you

442
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:53,920
Speaker 3: had Westside Story. In the fifties, is that one Latin

443
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:55,879
Speaker 3: person you could have thrown into that series? And I

444
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 3: love that series, but then I felt so left out

445
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 3: and so excluded in the race in New York's in

446
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 3: my New York City when Sase was happening and Latin

447
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 3: Jazz was happening, there was none of that, and you

448
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 3: could have squeezed into your mad men, you know. So yeah,

449
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:11,680
Speaker 3: all white shows are out for me.

450
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 4: I want to ask, I want to go back a

451
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 4: little bit, if you didn't mind, how did you get

452
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 4: into acting? Like growing up in New York City, you

453
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 4: would see your name all over the place, right whether

454
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:22,359
Speaker 4: it's Carolines or you're performing here. And I knew you

455
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 4: at first as a comedian, of course, and then you

456
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 4: got into acting? What got you into comedy?

457
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 6: And then I was going to ask that, Yo, you

458
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 6: just asked them how to get into movie?

459
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 4: If I was gonna do from comedy because it started

460
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 4: with coming, how did you get into comedy? And then

461
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 4: how did you transition into.

462
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:36,680
Speaker 3: I started I was a class clown and a troublemaker

463
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:39,639
Speaker 3: and a trouble team and all that stuff. And the

464
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,719
Speaker 3: school made me go to therapy because they won't let

465
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 3: me back. And uh, but I was a class clown,

466
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 3: you know, at Bertram and it was a competitive school

467
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,680
Speaker 3: for class clowns. Man, you couldn't not sit at the Yeah,

468
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 3: you couldn't sit at this one lunch room table unless

469
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:55,159
Speaker 3: you crack the best jokes the day before.

470
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:55,640
Speaker 4: Damn.

471
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:57,359
Speaker 3: So I just got to write my jokes the day

472
00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:58,879
Speaker 3: before and all that stuff. And this was that what

473
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 3: age this sixteen seventeen, you know when Damon Wayne's went

474
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 3: there and Q Tip and uh Jungle Brothers.

475
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I all knew each other.

476
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 3: I knew Damon, I didn't know Q Tip. Q Tip

477
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 3: was like two years younger than me.

478
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:14,359
Speaker 2: Damien was always funny.

479
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:18,439
Speaker 3: I don't know about funny he was. He was an

480
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 3: odd man. He was a handsome dude, but he was

481
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 3: just always to himself, always kind of smiling, and had

482
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:26,360
Speaker 3: jokes in his head. I just didn't hear them out loud.

483
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 1: So back to the story. So he was writing ahead

484
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 1: and at the lunch table.

485
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, so you know, and then my Matt teacher,

Speaker 3: used to call me because you couldn't say my name correctly,

488
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 3: And you go, if they can make penicillina a moldy bread,

489
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 3: there must be something we can do with you. And

490
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 3: he suggested I use my comedy for some good instead

491
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 3: of disrupting. And I started taking acting classes and boom

492
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:52,639
Speaker 3: that started my career. Started taking these acting classes and

493
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:54,920
Speaker 3: YU students came to see these shows and they offered

Speaker 6: a lot of the walls. But it's so funny that

510
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:30,120
Speaker 6: I saw you there. And then I and they were

511
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 6: talking about Vinnie.

512
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:33,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, because you got to test out your material,

513
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:36,920
Speaker 3: you know, and you gotta go somewhere, right. Yeah. So

514
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 3: I try to stay out of New York because then

515
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,119
Speaker 3: I'll get reviewed and they'll you know, they'll rush some

516
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 3: new stuff that's not right, not right for the public eye.

517
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 3: So I go to Jersey, I go, you know, wherever

518
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:48,680
Speaker 3: I can as far away and test my stuff out.

519
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:49,639
Speaker 3: And you know, I love that.

520
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 7: That got to be hard for you now, right, you

521
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 7: testing out anything anywhere. I feel like your face is

522
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 7: so known, like everybody knows you.

523
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,359
Speaker 3: Yes, I have to do different things obviously. Now. I

524
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 3: just I kind of do zoom things of my material zoo.

525
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 7: I can't even imagine, like what's the impact on the people?

526
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 3: No, no, no, not that audience. I just get like

527
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 3: my trusted friends and trusted Yeah, so I have to,

528
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 3: like I have make it smaller and smaller and more

529
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 3: protected obviously. Yeah.

530
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:15,479
Speaker 1: How about the worse though?

531
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:16,879
Speaker 4: You tell the joking from the five friends and they

532
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 4: just look at you like that's not it. They got

533
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:24,399
Speaker 4: you got commident yourself. And then when they do crack it,

534
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:26,440
Speaker 4: you know, then they do laugh. You're like, oh, I

535
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 4: got it right. That one really kills I'll work on

536
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 4: the other ones.

537
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:31,359
Speaker 2: I want to go back to something you said about

538
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:32,879
Speaker 2: the all white movies.

539
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 3: You would do an all white movie that I won't

540
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:36,119
Speaker 3: go see it.

541
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:38,200
Speaker 2: You won't go see an all white movie, you know, because.

542
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:39,199
Speaker 3: If I'm in it, then they won't be an all

543
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:40,159
Speaker 3: white movie exactly.

544
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 2: People will take that statement and be like, well, that's racist.

545
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 2: Why is that not racist?

546
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 3: Because it's been like that forever all white movies America.

547
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:55,399
Speaker 3: White people are only fifty eight point two percent of

548
00:23:55,440 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 3: the population. That's that's how they should be in terms

549
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 3: of executives, the amount of stories, the amount of actors

550
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:09,159
Speaker 3: per film. I mean, that's that's the proper equation I

551
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 3: believe for fairness and equity and parody. I just feel

552
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:18,680
Speaker 3: that it's been going on for too long. It's a

553
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,120
Speaker 3: it's a transgression, man. I feel like it's a transgression.

554
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 3: Include us, Include Us.

555
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 2: Do you have a favorite all white movie? Good?

556
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:31,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, they are, good Will Hunting that's a really good.

557
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:35,880
Speaker 2: The eighties movies like Paris Bus.

558
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 3: Oh, that's another good.

559
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 5: Movie.

560
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:42,400
Speaker 3: Jarge is a good all white movie.

561
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:57,440
Speaker 8: Exodus, Exorsus, Exorcist. Remember about Exist. It was supposed to

562
00:24:57,480 --> 00:24:59,520
Speaker 8: be an Egyptians, but they had all the white people.

563
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:02,160
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, no, no people are colored none.

564
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 2: Yeah in Africa that's crazy.

565
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah. Do Exorses Yeah with Lawrence Fishburns. She would

566
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 3: tell Elijah Force Collar Joe.

567
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:13,480
Speaker 6: Yes, amazing.

568
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 3: How is that? It's great?

569
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 2: Man?

570
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, and it's already done, like no, no, no, no, we're.

571
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:20,680
Speaker 3: Filming right now. Okay, yeah, yeah in the Story of Queens. Wow.

572
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 6: Nice, nice when you do Like so this is obviously

573
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 6: the first movie like this, right the Exorses? Are you

574
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 6: big on like horror anyway? Like this does that type

575
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 6: of shit scare you? Because it gets very very graphic

576
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 6: on them sets.

577
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:37,920
Speaker 3: I can only imagine this terrified. I mean, yeah, when

578
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 3: I saw Extoruses at thirteen, because my grandmother was a

579
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 3: Seventh day Adventism and she was like, you're going to

580
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:45,920
Speaker 3: Hell and you meet me, you're going to go to Hey.

581
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 3: And she slapped me once because I joked around that

582
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:50,680
Speaker 3: I was possessed by the that one. She like, wallap,

583
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 3: not sating out of me, and uh, you know. So

584
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:56,639
Speaker 3: when I saw The Exoris, I thought it was a documentary.

585
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,159
Speaker 3: I thought it was real. I was so terrified. I

586
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:01,960
Speaker 3: slept with rosary beads, I had holy water. I couldn't

587
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:05,439
Speaker 3: be left alone. So here we're doing this new one.

588
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:09,920
Speaker 3: It's terrifying. I'm not allowed to speak exactly about it,

589
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 3: but it's more true crime like Seven Meets Satan. It's incredible.

590
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:17,159
Speaker 3: It is really horrifying.

591
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 7: Again and all that, Like how do you flush it

592
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:19,879
Speaker 7: out of you?

593
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 3: You know, I did a serial killer movie once I

594
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:26,439
Speaker 3: was the detective. I wasn't serial killing. I did mad research.

595
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:29,440
Speaker 3: I went to Morgues, I saw autopsies and whatnot. But

596
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:33,639
Speaker 3: I started really having paranoia issues. I couldn't sleep, I

597
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 3: was hallucinating during the day and it was too much. Man,

598
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 3: it was too much. And I promised myself I would

599
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 3: never go that deep again. I'm just gonna use the

600
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 3: memory of that situation to recreate it in this in

601
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 3: this show. Because I did I say that I couldn't sleep.

602
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:49,879
Speaker 3: I kept thinking people trying to murder me and whatnot.

603
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:52,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's what you think about those type of movies

604
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 6: and people. Does it really affect you personally? When you

605
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 6: do you carry that stuff home with.

606
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 3: Every movie affects you personally. There's no way if you're

607
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:02,359
Speaker 3: if you're a deep enough, good enough actor, you're gonna

608
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:05,159
Speaker 3: take it home. So I have to be careful with

609
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 3: the roles I choose. And and also, like you know,

610
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 3: if I'm doing a really rageful role, I have to

611
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 3: kind of stay away from my family a little bit

612
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:15,359
Speaker 3: and try to stay calm. And you know, because you

613
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 3: you you're repping up your your mind doesn't know the

614
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,400
Speaker 3: difference between reality and fantasy. When you're feeding stuff into

615
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:22,640
Speaker 3: your head, it doesn't know the difference. So your body

616
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:24,359
Speaker 3: reacts to it like like normal.

617
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 2: How do you get out of it?

618
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:27,640
Speaker 3: Well, you got you got to try to like listen

619
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 3: to like upbeat music. You got to try to read

620
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 3: stuff that's light. You have to try to you know, uh,

621
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:34,960
Speaker 3: you know, purge it out of your body.

622
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 2: Do you have a nanny? And did you did I

623
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:38,920
Speaker 2: what do you have a nanny now? And did you

624
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:42,240

00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, And I realize, oh, that that's a character,

639
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 3: and she knows and she starts to like, you know,

640
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 3: you gotta you gotta check yourself, check yourself at the door,

641
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:15,639
Speaker 3: and I go, yeah, no, you're totally right. Yeah, Or

642
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:17,119
Speaker 3: you get depressed. I just did a movie that was

643
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 3: really depressing, and I was depressed all the time. And

644
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 3: you know, you just can't help it because you're feeding

645
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:24,399
Speaker 3: yourself all these depressing things to get to that place.

646
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:27,160
Speaker 3: Your body doesn't know the difference. You start getting depressed.

647
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:29,639
Speaker 2: Do you think that we need to know.

648
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:33,639
Speaker 5: Actors? And what I mean by that is right, like

649
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:35,920
Speaker 5: their personal lives, personal livesse you know how you see

650
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 5: a lot of these guys you'll get on podcasts or.

651
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 2: They get on radio and share share things that.

652
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, and it's like, I don't know if I need

653
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 5: that because I love the characters that you played, like

654
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 5: is doing it?

655
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 3: So I think I think you you you rob the

656
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 3: audience from believing you're that character because now we know

657
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:56,960
Speaker 3: that you you know, either you're silly dude or or

658
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 3: you're or you're softer than you're you're playing you know,

659
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:02,880
Speaker 3: you're meaner than you are. You know, you you robbed

660
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:05,000
Speaker 3: the audience of the opportunity to have a clean slate.

661
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 3: They already know so much about you. I think it's

662
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 3: it's better the you know. Early in my life, obviously

663
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 3: I was all about sharing over sharing, you know, that

664
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 3: was my comedy. That was my whole freak and mamble

665
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 3: mouth and sex a holics and whatnot. But now I

666
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 3: believe it's it's better to keep a little that mystery

667
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 3: for yourself because, like even with.

668
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 5: A movie TV show, your political views, I guess could

669
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 5: impact the audience absolutely.

670
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 3: I mean I lost half my found my following when

671
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:36,200
Speaker 3: I became political in twenty sixteen because I saw that

672
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 3: boom boom and also the racist attacks you know, jumped up.

673
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 3: You know. You know, you go back to Mexico if

674
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 3: you don't like our country. I mean, I'm not Mexican,

675
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 3: but I'll gladly go to Mexico if you pay for

676
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 3: my ticket. Yeah, I love to visit. Say, I heard's

677
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:52,320
Speaker 3: a great city, Mexico City. Uh, you know, and then

678
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 3: then you know, a lot of hate we should think

679
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 3: you were funny. You're not funny anymore. When was your

680
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 3: asking movie? It started, like the hate starts coming, you know,

681
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:02,600
Speaker 3: the the bots and whatnot. But you can't be quiet though,

682
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:04,760
Speaker 3: right Like I have a hard time being quiet. I

683
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 3: have a hard time keeping to myself. I have a

684
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 3: hard time seeing our country, you know, going down this

685
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:13,959
Speaker 3: destruction of democracy and the corruption that's going on. It's

686
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 3: and then this endless wars are horrific, man. You know,

687
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 3: it's just like it's hard to sit there and be

688
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 3: a parent and and not feel you know, responsible somehow

689
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:26,200
Speaker 3: if you because I feel like democracy is not a

690
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 3: spectator sport. You got to do something. You got to participate.

691
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 2: What do your agents and stuff say to you, Like

692
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 2: they try to encourage you.

693
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 3: To give up.

694
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 7: You lose the business on that side, like offers and

695
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:39,240
Speaker 7: deals and movies and something.

696
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:42,240
Speaker 3: You know, it's it's it's hard to see that, but

697
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 3: I'm sure it has an effect. You know, I'm sure

698
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:47,720
Speaker 3: I'm not being invited to Red States to perform or

699
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 3: to do speaking engagements. But you know, yeah, yeah, you know,

700
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 3: when you become political, you know, it has it has

701
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 3: it has a consequences. I mean, how could it not.

702
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 2: You know the craziest thing about this time though, God willing. Yeah,

703
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 2: the pendulum will shift back. Yes, yes, I hope. So.

704
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 2: I mean they're moving like they're not leaving right, but

705
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:09,760

710
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 3: you know, remove the third term, the second term limits,

711
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 3: but then Obama can run.

712
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 5: But that would But that's I hate when people say that,

713
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:36,360
Speaker 5: because the fight is already fixed. If they if they

714

715
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:40,080
Speaker 5: third term, it don't matter.

716
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 2: Regards the case. But I just, uh, I forgot what

717
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:45,280
Speaker 2: I was going to ask.

718
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:49,320
Speaker 5: You're talking about the power executives got to look you

719
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 5: in the eye and be like, hey, John, welcome back.

720
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 2: You know, how would you treat treat them? Then?

721
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:59,320
Speaker 3: Well, you know, I tream like every employer. You know

722
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 3: what I mean, if you got a job for me,

723
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:02,360
Speaker 3: that that that I want?

724
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:02,560
Speaker 5: You know.

725
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:06,960
Speaker 3: Uh. Bertal Breck, the great playwright of the of the

726
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:11,480
Speaker 3: early nineteenth century, said I'll take rich people's money and

727
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 3: use it against them. And I thought, oh my god,

728
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 3: that's like the best artistic saying ever. Should be a

729
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 3: T shirt, you know. So yeah, that's what I'll do.

730
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:23,560
Speaker 6: I love that now deare kiling Nanni's is in Spanish?

731
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 6: All Spanish?

732
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:26,240
Speaker 2: Yeah. Do you think that will.

733
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 6: Limit how wide the audience will be? Like the range

734
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:32,960
Speaker 6: of audience because you got to read and pay attention.

735
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 6: I know it's so much going on, but it's like

736
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 6: you can like that reading. What about people that can't

737
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 6: really read that good?

738
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:40,880
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying already? So they got they

739
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:42,600
Speaker 3: got a dub version that I did. I did a

740
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:45,360
Speaker 3: dub version for those that don't want to read. Okay,

741
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:47,880
Speaker 3: but you know, squid games come on. I mean, it's

742
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:51,960
Speaker 3: a whole different world than it used to be. Americans

743
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 3: did not want to be reading. They didn't want anything

744
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:57,080
Speaker 3: that wasn't in English. But America is different now. It's

745
00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 3: much more sophisticated, much more worldly. I think we got

746
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:00,600
Speaker 3: a big shot.

747
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 1: I think it'd be great. I hate the dub version,

748
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 1: like it's just sometimes the mouse to be like kill

749
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:05,920
Speaker 1: him because.

750
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 3: The dragon.

751
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 5: My wife says it all the time, like you got

752
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:17,920
Speaker 5: to learn Spanish because all the kids know Spanish talk

753
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:18,520
Speaker 5: to him in school.

754
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 3: But the first euro language spoken in Americas was Spanish,

755
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 3: not English, because this was discovered by I mean, look

756
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:32,720
Speaker 3: at California is a Spanish word, Arizona neva means snowy, Florid.

757
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:35,960
Speaker 3: That means Florid. I mean, there's all Spanish words. Mar

758
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:39,680
Speaker 3: al lago is a Spanish word. It means from seed

759
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:42,480
Speaker 3: to lake. Come on, Trump doesn't even know that.

760
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:43,600
Speaker 1: He doesn't.

761
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:49,240
Speaker 3: Take our Spanish name out.

762
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:54,080
Speaker 5: You've done stand up, Broadway TV film?

763
00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:56,840

765
00:33:57,600 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 7: Oh?

766
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:01,880
Speaker 3: Stand up obviously is the opportunity to be your most

767
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:04,720
Speaker 3: honest and most reckless self.

768
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 1: You know, Yeah, you still enjoy it?

00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 3: love it. I love it, but I do now it's

771
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:13,279
Speaker 3: more speaking engagements, and I love that. That's what I'm doing. Now.

772
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:15,080
Speaker 6: How do you have time to do any of that?

773
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 6: You always booked, you always filming a you know project.

774
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:21,040
Speaker 6: How do you even have time to even do speaking engagements?

775
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:23,800
Speaker 3: Well, I don't know Spanish. I used to do. I

776
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 3: do it sporadically now, you know, so, yeah, and and

777
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:30,560
Speaker 3: the de I thing has affected his Trump's attack on

778
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:34,239
Speaker 3: d I has affected the speaking engagement circuit for really really,

779
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:36,719
Speaker 3: because yeah, a lot of corporations now are afraid to

780
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:41,960
Speaker 3: dole out dollars to something that looks Latino or black.

781
00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 3: They don't they don't want to look like they're doing

782
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:45,560
Speaker 3: you know that they're going to be called by the

783
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:48,160
Speaker 3: federal government. So yeah, there's a lot of a lot.

784
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:51,800
Speaker 3: I mean, his his policies do have negative effects and

785
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:56,520
Speaker 3: trickle down negative effects on our on our communities, our employment,

786
00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:58,359
Speaker 3: on our opportunities to make money.

787
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:00,920
Speaker 5: I love what you said about you know, rich people's

788
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:03,120
Speaker 5: money and using it against them, But I still feel

789
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 5: like there has to be some type of accountability.

790
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:07,880
Speaker 2: When all of these shifts back, we should remember the

791
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:08,879
Speaker 2: people who stay.

792
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:12,359
Speaker 3: Write those names down and it's Normberg them. I want

793
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:15,560
Speaker 3: Nurremberg trials. I want every one of these pan Bondies

794
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:20,440
Speaker 3: and Christi Nomes to be prosecuted. Nobody gets away, and

795
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:22,280
Speaker 3: they know that. I mean, I think they're.

796
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:24,440
Speaker 7: Feeling that, But y'all don't feel like when the Black Square,

797
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:27,040
Speaker 7: that whole movement happened, right and everybody was like, oh

798
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:29,640
Speaker 7: my god, we want to have empty for black people,

799
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:32,560
Speaker 7: brown people, and then everything just switched. We didn't anybody

800
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:34,799
Speaker 7: accountable for things that didn't happen, like we just moved

801
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:36,960
Speaker 7: on and just lived our daily day life.

802
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:40,640
Speaker 3: I know, because the problem is you don't want to

803
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:44,520
Speaker 3: put the same aggression and violence back into the system,

804
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:46,120
Speaker 3: but they're in diverse you don't want.

805
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:46,400
Speaker 5: To do that.

806
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:49,200
Speaker 3: But I still think people need to be held accountable,

807
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:54,080
Speaker 3: you know. I mean, we Democrats are so behind. How

808
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:56,799
Speaker 3: come we don't have a project twenty twenty eight? Where

809
00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:59,680
Speaker 3: are our projects where we undo everything they do? Where

810
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:03,320
Speaker 3: we public schools with nine billion dollars as opposed to

811
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:06,560
Speaker 3: defunding them every time he Trump gets into office? You know,

812
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:11,279
Speaker 3: where's where's our plan to increase the Supreme Court to

813
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:15,520
Speaker 3: eleven and to put age limits? Where are where's our

814
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:19,080
Speaker 3: goddamn project twenty twenty eight that's going to change everything?

815
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:19,560
Speaker 2: That?

816
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:22,920
Speaker 5: Sometimes I wonder, John, if they're just all in this

817
00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:26,880
Speaker 5: together and we're all just getting played. Sometimes I wonder

818
00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:30,080
Speaker 5: because we see what they're doing, and we all where's

819
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 5: the defense?

820
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:34,200
Speaker 2: And think about it? Four or five. Everything that's happening

821
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:36,000
Speaker 2: now is people were saying was going to happen.

822
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:39,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, So if our dumb asses on the radio and

823
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:41,879
Speaker 5: you doing movies can see it, why didn't they see

824
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:43,759
Speaker 5: it and create some type of defense against right right.

825
00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:46,840
Speaker 5: Sometimes I just wonder where if they're not all in

826
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:48,560
Speaker 5: it together and we're just all getting played.

827
00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:52,400
Speaker 3: I can't believe that. I can't allow myself to believe that.

828
00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:59,920
Speaker 3: I believe that politicians aren't ambitious and they're always playing

829
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:04,920
Speaker 3: chess moves and trying to figure out ways to get ahead.

830
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:08,800
Speaker 3: You know, a lot of politicians who are very progressive

831
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:11,839
Speaker 3: and left are moving towards the center because they see

832
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:14,520
Speaker 3: bigger sites, because they want to be presidential, because they

833
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:17,200
Speaker 3: want to move up there. So they start shifting and

834
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:21,759
Speaker 3: and you know, the progressive side with Pelosi, wanted to

835
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:24,000
Speaker 3: do a lot of radical things, and they told them,

836
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:26,640
Speaker 3: you know, sit back and relax, you'll get your shot.

837
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:28,040
Speaker 3: But they didn't get their shot, and they let it.

838
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:30,160
Speaker 3: They move everything to the center, and it looks like

839
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:32,759
Speaker 3: everybody's just working for the man.

840
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:33,040
Speaker 2: Yeah.

841
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:36,000
Speaker 5: I don't even think the center exists anymore because because

842
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:37,640
Speaker 5: I don't want to be centered. I definitely don't want

843
00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:39,239
Speaker 5: to be center right, And I don't even know if

844
00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 5: I want to be too center love. I don't feel

845
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:41,279
Speaker 5: like we need something new.

846
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:43,920
Speaker 3: Well, we never really had a left America. There's no

847
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:46,600
Speaker 3: such thing as Antifa, Trump and the Republicans. There's no

848
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:49,360
Speaker 3: such thing. We don't have a real left. It's just

849
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:52,319
Speaker 3: left of center. Real left is the same thing as

850
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:57,239
Speaker 3: the radical right. Real left wants to destroy, bomb, it

851
00:37:57,320 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 3: wants to do the same things the radical We don't

852
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:01,400
Speaker 3: have that. We don't have any of that. We've had

853
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:04,480
Speaker 3: some real left in Latin America that were gorillas and

854
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:07,759
Speaker 3: and you know, civil wars came out of that because

855
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:10,800
Speaker 3: they needed to change the system that was corrupt and damage.

856
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:12,800
Speaker 3: But we don't have real left in America. It's not

857
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:16,240
Speaker 3: a real left, it's a left of center.

858
00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:18,000
Speaker 2: So when you say left with center, what did that

859
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:18,480
Speaker 2: look like to you?

860
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:21,719
Speaker 3: Like, like all the progressives like they want to change

861
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:25,200
Speaker 3: things and make things better, but a real left wants

862
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:27,680
Speaker 3: to disrupt thing, wants to blow up the what's the

863
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:30,040
Speaker 3: same thing the radical right wants to do it? You know,

864
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:33,320
Speaker 3: And that we don't have a real left, not that

865
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:35,440
Speaker 3: we need a real left because that radical right is

866
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:39,839
Speaker 3: crazy to destroy. January sixth, break into the White House

867
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:42,560
Speaker 3: and then say that they were all heroes' iss craziness.

868
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:45,560
Speaker 7: I was gonna say it, but I agree we don't

869
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:47,520
Speaker 7: need it. But when you talk about the penduluin swing

870
00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:50,600
Speaker 7: back and home people accountable? Do what is the plan

871
00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:52,680
Speaker 7: of accountability that we hold people to, Like, what do

872
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:55,360
Speaker 7: we actually do? Because we get things go soft and

873
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:56,360
Speaker 7: then I.

874
00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:58,399
Speaker 3: Mean we have to have a project twenty twenty eight.

875
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:00,399
Speaker 3: I mean, that's what we have to do. And from

876
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:05,480
Speaker 3: up our next president, our next elected officials at the midterms,

877
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:09,279
Speaker 3: have a plan. What how do you undo? How do

878
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:13,520
Speaker 3: you refund NPR, How do you refund public schools? How

879
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:17,799
Speaker 3: do you fix the justice system? How do you put

880
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:21,560
Speaker 3: back all these Latin black heroes, military heroes that were

881
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:25,040
Speaker 3: taking statues that were taken down? You know how? You know,

882
00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:28,479
Speaker 3: how do we fix this this mess that that Trump

883
00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:31,400
Speaker 3: has done. You know, they wanted to privatize public schools,

884
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:33,960
Speaker 3: They want to privatize the post office, they want to

885
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:36,759
Speaker 3: privatize TSA. Those are the things that we have to

886
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:39,240
Speaker 3: undo and it's going to take a lot of effort

887
00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:42,799
Speaker 3: because now the deficit is the biggest it's ever been

888
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:45,840
Speaker 3: in the history. Because he doesn't tax the rich like

889
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:47,600
Speaker 3: they used to back in the After World. War two,

890
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:50,040
Speaker 3: all the rich were taxed at almost seventy percent, and

891
00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:52,160
Speaker 3: the economy was the best it's ever been.

892
00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:55,960
Speaker 5: And now I want a social democrat, yes, who supports

893
00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:59,600
Speaker 5: I'm a social democrat who supports the capitalists, mixed economy,

894
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:02,880
Speaker 5: for supports a robust welfare state.

895
00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:05,760
Speaker 2: And that's going to hold everybody in the Trump aministration.

896
00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:11,680
Speaker 2: You come on, I want that's all. That's what I want.

897
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:14,480
Speaker 5: I want a social democrat who's going to hold the

898
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:16,760
Speaker 5: Trump administration accountable absolutely.

899
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:19,319
Speaker 2: That's it. You give me that social democrat who cares

900
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:21,080
Speaker 2: about capitalists.

901
00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:22,600
Speaker 3: Strong, who's tough. I want. I want to I want

902
00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:26,160
Speaker 3: a president who who's just like Trump, as tough as Trump.

903
00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:30,359
Speaker 3: That's what I want, but not as cruel. He wants

904
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:34,320
Speaker 3: to unite, not divide, because Trump just I mean. Jose Martin,

905
00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:38,239
Speaker 3: the great revolutionary Cuban poets, said there are two types

906
00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:40,640
Speaker 3: of men born into the world, those that creating those

907
00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:43,719
Speaker 3: that destroy. And you see Trump, he destroys everything, and

908
00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:47,880
Speaker 3: it's easy to destroy. It's impossible to build and to fix.

909
00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:51,080
Speaker 3: That's what's difficult. Have you seen destroy anything in the day.

910
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:53,960
Speaker 1: Have you seen that person that you said that you want,

911
00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:54,560
Speaker 1: that you want to see.

912
00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:57,279
Speaker 3: Right now, Newsom looks the best to me of all

913
00:40:57,320 --> 00:41:00,719
Speaker 3: the Democratic uh candidates. I mean, that's the best we got.

914
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:02,960
Speaker 5: But they're gonna point the California and they're gonna look

915
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:05,200
Speaker 5: at the crime in California.

916
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:08,200
Speaker 2: Hollywood is leaving like like this is I still it's

917
00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:09,120
Speaker 2: still the environment.

918
00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:11,520
Speaker 3: Come on, It's still the richest state in the country.

919
00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:14,680
Speaker 3: California is still the richest state, still the most. Put

920
00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:16,960
Speaker 3: In puts the most money in and gets the least

921
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:19,239
Speaker 3: out of it. All the Red states just take none

922
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:19,799
Speaker 3: of them put In.

923
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:22,640
Speaker 5: And it's gonna be interesting to see how he defends

924
00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:26,160
Speaker 5: his record in California. Yeah, yeah, Yeah, that's gonna I

925
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:28,680
Speaker 5: don't I don't see how he gets gets past that,

926
00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:31,040
Speaker 5: but maybe he can, and I don't know, I don't know.

927
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:32,839
Speaker 3: Hope he figures that out.

Speaker 3: Oh yeah, man? Why why did that.

00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:42,600
Speaker 4: people that performed at the Super Bowl. Why was that

Speaker 4: one so emotional for you?

935
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:46,360
Speaker 3: Oh dude, because I think because of the situation that

936
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:50,239
Speaker 3: we're living through. You know, uh, you watch enough, you

937
00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:53,279
Speaker 3: know TikTok and and Graham. You know, you see all

938
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:56,160
Speaker 3: these horrors happening, and now they're now that the Ellison's

939
00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:58,960
Speaker 3: own TikTok. You know, you see less and less, uh,

940
00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:04,560
Speaker 3: you know, and then you know, so to see bad

941
00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:07,719
Speaker 3: Bunny there in Spanish, because you know, there's safely how

942
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:10,400
Speaker 3: I tried to sing in Spanish back in the sixties

943
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:13,800
Speaker 3: and they arrested him after in Yankee Stadium, and and

944
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:18,840
Speaker 3: then some some Mexican kid and uh wore Mariachi outfit

945
00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:22,880
Speaker 3: and tried to sing this American uh, this star spangled banner,

946
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:25,680
Speaker 3: and and they mistreated him and through things. So for

947
00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:28,560
Speaker 3: him to speak Spanish at Super Bowl was such a

948
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:33,080
Speaker 3: powerful statement and and such a brave statement that it

949
00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:35,680
Speaker 3: was moving man to see all these Latin kids performing

950
00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:39,279
Speaker 3: on that stage, being their authentic selves. And I knew,

951
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:41,040
Speaker 3: I knew all the signals that he was sending, that

952
00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:44,880
Speaker 3: the old Puerto Rican flag that was banned, uh, the

953
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:48,919
Speaker 3: electric plants that that that you know, that female's money

954
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:51,080
Speaker 3: was robbed in Puerto Rico, so they didn't have electric

955
00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:53,880
Speaker 3: proper electricity. I saw all the little Easter eggs that

956
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:57,400
Speaker 3: he planted, the little uh, the little boy and the

957
00:42:57,440 --> 00:42:59,520
Speaker 3: real marriage. It was all just so touching, man, to

958
00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:02,960
Speaker 3: see us celebrated instead of demonized, instead of being attacked.

959
00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:05,920
Speaker 3: It was just overwhelming for me. You make me cry.

960
00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:08,359
Speaker 2: Now I know you got to leave, man.

961
00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:10,120
Speaker 5: So my last question to you is, when it's all

962
00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:12,920
Speaker 5: said and done, what matters to you more being remembered

963
00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:16,440
Speaker 5: as a great entertainer or a cultural disrupt Oh wow?

964
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:16,959
Speaker 2: Wow?

965
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:17,879
Speaker 3: Can I be both?

966
00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:18,719
Speaker 2: Yeah?

967
00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:22,640
Speaker 3: A great entertainer that's culturally disruptive because I believe I

968
00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:27,840
Speaker 3: believe artists are political. I believe art is political. Entertaining

969
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:30,759
Speaker 3: is a different thing. But I'm an artist, man, I can.

970
00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:33,759
Speaker 3: I like to create stuff that changes the world, that

971
00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:35,600
Speaker 3: makes the world a better place, and I think that's

972
00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:36,440
Speaker 3: the place for art.
