Speaker 1: were four writers total, UM, and Spike Lee was the

54
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 1: fourth writer named on that script. I was happy for Spike, Um,

55
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 1: Spike who I Sometimes I am just annoyed by I

56
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: think everybody gets annoyed by him, which is which is fine. Um.

57
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 1: If anybody loves filmmaking, loves the history, UM understands the

58
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: history of of show business and the Academy Awards that

59
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 1: Spike Lee. He's uh, you know, he loves his ship.

60
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 1: You know, Spike Lee loves his ship. Aside from his personality,

65
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,159
Speaker 1: he's a true filmmaker. Even though some of his films

66
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 1: I don't think are that good. Um, I thought Black

67
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:52,479
Speaker 1: Klansman was a good film. But I was happy that

68
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 1: he was one of the writers that his film won

69
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:59,960

Speaker 1: Days and and you know, you can say what you

75
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:25,280
Speaker 1: want about Spike Lee, about his films, about his personality

00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:28,599
Speaker 1: and all that, but the list of people that he

00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:33,599
Speaker 1: discovered or gave their big breaks too is it's pretty

78

80

Speaker 1: big break was in Jungle Fever um to showing the

Speaker 1: world Denzel Washington as a sex symbol. He was not

82
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 1: a sex symbol in anything he did before Mobeta Blue.

83
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 1: Spike knew that he had that special charisma and he

84
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 1: treated him and shot him. Uh in that way for

85
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,479

91
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: as a as a costume director. Um. So his work

92
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: and the people that he's saw something in before anybody

93
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 1: else goes without saying that being said. At the Oscars

94
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,919
Speaker 1: after Green Book won Best Film, which was a surprise

95
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: to everybody. I thought everybody thought Roma was gonna win,

96
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:45,719
Speaker 1: Spike Lee bugged the funk out um and tried to

97
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: leave the theater while the people from Green Book, who

98
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:53,160
Speaker 1: invited every single person and their mother on stage, which

99
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 1: I thought was where it's like, yeah, this ain't. This

100
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: ain't the sag Awards, This ain't the Grammys, this ain't

101
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 1: the Emmy's, this is the Oscars. This ain't. Uh. I

102
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 1: get like, yo, we all did it, but you had

103
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 1: fifty people on the stage like on some Wou Tang

104
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:09,479
Speaker 1: clan shit. But Spike went fucking crazy. He tried to leave,

105
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 1: and then afterwards after the show, in the press conference,

106
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 1: he was dissing green Book. I didn't think green Book

107
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 1: was that good of a movie. But I just think

108
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 1: that somebody like Spike, who knows how much it takes

109
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: to make a film, whether it's the biggest piece of

110
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 1: ship or the biggest success ever for him to ship

111
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 1: on other film success when he got an Oscar and

112
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 1: he got the nominations, and he just knows how hard

113
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 1: it is to make a film. I think it was.

114
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 1: It was rude and and if you think about like

115
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 1: Martin Scorsese, who Spike Lee has been immensely influenced by

116
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 1: his films. You could see it in his work losing

117
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 1: for Best Director and Best Film um for Raging Bowl

118
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 1: and Good Fellas. If you didn't see him running up

119
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 1: and down the aisles making a spectacle of himself. You

120
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 1: didn't see him bad mouthing them. And Glenn Close last night,

121
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: I thought she was a shoe in for Best Supporting Actress. Um.

122
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 1: She's been nominated seven times, seven times she didn't win. Um.

123
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 1: If she had went crazy when she didn't get the

124
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 1: award and she was dissing the actress from the favorite

125
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 1: who won, or anybody else was acting like that, nobody

126
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 1: would be laughing because the people interviewing Spike at the

127
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 1: press conference, they were like laughing and you know, you know,

128
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,079
Speaker 1: having a good time with it. If Glenn Close has

129
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:34,559
Speaker 1: been like that, fucking bitch, she didn't deserve it. I've

130
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 1: been doing this since nineteen so and so and so

131
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 1: and so. I've been nominated seven times, and you dragged

132
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 1: me out here and not giving me the award. What

133
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 1: the funk? And she had done a version of that,

134
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 1: people would have been appalled. Um. But a lot of

135
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 1: people were just laughing and giggling when Spike was doing it,

136
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,239
Speaker 1: but he won an awards. I'm glad for Spike inevitently,

137
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 1: but hold your head. Seriously, these these fucking awards shows

138
00:08:56,960 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 1: make people nuts. They make people and they bring out

139
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 1: a lot of the good things and people, but they

140
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 1: also bring out a lot of the fucking bad things

141
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 1: and people. And as I also predicted, fucking Lady Gaga

142
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 1: did not win, but she fake cried when she won

143
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 1: the Oscar for the song with Bradley Cooper. I don't

144
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:20,319
Speaker 1: know the name of it, but I gotta admit it's

145
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:24,440
Speaker 1: a very touching, a good song. Their performance was very good,

146
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 1: and her face did drop when she didn't win the

147
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 1: Oscar to um the woman who I can't remember her name,

148
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 1: the best supporting actors. I can't remember her name. Listen

149
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 1: it's the I rap or Stereo podcast. The Oscars was

150
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:39,840
Speaker 1: about a day and a half ago. Okay, I'm not

151
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 1: fact checking anything, but she was up there. I need

152
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 1: to master that, that Lady Gaga crying with no tears.

153
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,439
Speaker 1: If I could master that as an actor, and I'm

154
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 1: being totally serious, it would it would benefit me because

155
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: crying when when a script says uh and then he cries,

156
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,680
Speaker 1: it's a lot of pressure. But she truly gives you

157
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 1: the impression that she's actually crying when she's actually not crying,

158
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:14,439
Speaker 1: Like there's no fucking tears ever coming out of her face.

159
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 1: But it looks like she's like her her dog died. Now.

160
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,839
Speaker 1: I'm not wishing or hoping her dog died, but she

161
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 1: she literally looks crushed, I mean just broken. Every single

162
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 1: time she wins an award, she like fell into somebody's

163
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:35,959
Speaker 1: arms backstage, and it's a give me a fucking break, Gaga,

164
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 1: You're making me fucking ga gag Gaga. Herschela Ali one

165
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 1: for Best Supporting Actor. He has two two two Oscars,

166
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 1: and I like him. He's a really good actor. Samuel

167
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,959
Speaker 1: Jackson is the person who should have went batshit crazy.

168
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 1: Samuel Jackson has only one nomination, I believe, only one

169
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 1: time nomination, but no Oscars. He has not won an Oscar.

170
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 1: Samuel Jackson has been so good so many times over

171
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 1: starting a jungle fever. I mean he too, Jackie Brown,

172
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 1: to all the Tarantino films, pulp fiction. The list goes

173
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 1: on and on and on. When Samuel Jackson should have

174
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 1: won either Best Actor or Best Supporting Actor. Herschel Ali

175
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 1: has two, two fucking awards. He's been nominated twice and

176
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 1: he won twice. Samuel Jackson, Uh, he's up there with

177
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 1: his fucking dick in his hands. Every single year I hope.

178
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 1: I'm sure he'll win an Oscar for something at some point.

179
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 1: I hope they don't have to give him some sort

180
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 1: of um lifetime Achievement award because we're literally talking about

181
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 1: one of the great actors of all time. Uh. He

182
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,680
Speaker 1: could be funny, he could be menacing. Nobody says fuck

183
00:11:56,160 --> 00:12:00,440
Speaker 1: as good as him. He's consistent all the time him.

184
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 1: He does big movies, he's does small movies. He's just

185
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 1: one of the best. He's got zip zip zero stinge

186
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 1: you with de Niro might buy you, Chris. But that

187
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 1: about it anyway. That was a jay Z lyric. Um.

188
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:14,959
Speaker 1: But that's it with the fucking ounce because I'm done.

189
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:17,959
Speaker 1: As I said, these awards don't mean anything. If you win,

190
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 1: these awards don't mean anything. If you lose, I always

191
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,680
Speaker 1: go back to Goodfellas didn't win. I always go back

192
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 1: to Raging Bull didn't win. Oh yes, so, uh this

193
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 1: was great. This was fucking great, and a lot of

194
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 1: people called for an emergency podcast. I'm gonna be honest him. Uh,

195
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 1: Miles Davis was in Mexico City. He was down there,

196
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 1: I think for a Bassard party or I don't know

197
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 1: what the funk he was doing that the sound engineer

198
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:50,200
Speaker 1: extraordinary slash producer of the Iron Rap Wors Stereo Pokats.

199
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 1: So we had collectively decided that there's not going to

200
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:59,840
Speaker 1: be any emergency podcast. But when New England Patriots own

201
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 1: Robert Kraft got pinched a few days ago for being

202
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 1: at a fucking rubbing tug, of course my first instinct

203
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 1: was to pick up the golden mix of the I

204
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 1: Am Rapp Reports Stereo podcast without fact checking. I I

205
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 1: didn't give a fuck what I because at first, when

206
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 1: you heard that Robert Craft had something to do with

207
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 1: a rubbing tug and it was a prostitution ring and

208
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 1: it was I was like, yo, he's pimping. That was

209
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 1: my first thing, like, yo, he's somehow pimping. But it

210
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 1: turns out he's tricking. Now. The difference we all know

211
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 1: what a pimp does. The trick is the one who

212
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 1: gets tricked. The trick is the one who's paying to play.

213
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 1: So Robert Kraft and Jupiter, Florida, which is like fift

214
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 1: twenty minutes away from Mara Lago. This is like the

215
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:58,319
Speaker 1: the the very very wealthy parts of Florida where the

216
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 1: the the elite and the rich go to plane. Um,

217
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 1: this wasn't some high end uh spot. This wasn't some

218
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:11,439
Speaker 1: you know, fancy you know, exclusive strip club with a

219
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 1: back room with a champagne room where you can duke

220
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 1: is in a in a rubbin tug in a strip mall.

221
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 1: Like there's like a Ramen noodle place, a taco stand,

222
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 1: a seven eleven, and a rubbing tug. We we we

223
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 1: know what the the aesthetics are. Everybody's seeing them, everybody's

224
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 1: driven by them. And the majority of rubbin tugs. I

225
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 1: don't know how it works in Florida. The majority of

226
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 1: these massage places are legit. I go to a massage

227
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 1: place in Los Angeles. It's five minutes from my house.

228
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 1: I actually walked there from the outside. You would you

229
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 1: don't know what it is. This could be like a

230
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 1: freak off spot, a k rubbing tug, or it could

231
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 1: be a legit massage place. This place is legit. It's

232
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 1: been there for years. It's on Wilshire. I go see

233
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 1: my girl Paula. Uh, she's she's Korean or Chinese, speaks

234
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 1: no English. She's been rubbing my back for about eight years.

235
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 1: And there's everything's on the up and up. It's clean.

236
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 1: I think it's a family running business, and you know

237
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 1: how you know it's on the up and up because

238
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 1: it's been there for so long. Now, I will say, Okay,

239
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 1: in my sordid past I have, I wouldn't say frequented. Uh,

240
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 1: I could say frequent day. But that's that's thing I

241
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 1: go to all the time. I like most men over

242
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 1: the age of twenty one, I have been to a

243
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 1: rubbing tug. Now, I will say point nine percent of

244
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 1: these incidents in the rubbing tugst Okay, I've been rubbing

245
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 1: and tugging since I'm probably I don't know, twenty three,

246
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 1: actually scratch that. I have a story I'll save it

247
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 1: for another time about the first time I went to

248
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 1: a rubbing tug um. I don't want to indict anybody,

249
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 1: but that was um. I'll save that for another time,

250
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 1: but it's a good fucking story. I want to stay

251
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 1: focused on Robert Kraft and my personal history as an

252
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 1: adult in the rubbing tux um. Most of the time

253
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 1: that you go into these these massage polors where things

254
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 1: could uh go to the next level. Uh, you don't know,

255
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 1: at least I don't know. I go in there innocently

256
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 1: thinking it's a massage spot now literally, because I like massages,

257
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 1: I'm with the whole massage community. I like backrubs, I

258
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 1: like Asian backroups because they don't funk around. They a

259
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 1: lot of times they'll they'll stand on you, walk on

260
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 1: you and all that ship. But but um, if they

261
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 1: want to take it to the next level, what they

262
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 1: do is uh, you know, because massages are very they're

263
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 1: very intimate, but they're not sexual. They're intimate because the

264
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 1: ladies all over your fucking back. Uh, you're slipping, your sliding, uh,

265
00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 1: your naked, but most of you, you're you kind of holes,

266
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 1: your asses usually covered by a sheet, especially cocking balls

267
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 1: the ass, you know, the the uncover one cheek at

268
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 1: a time. Now, the way you know that things might

269
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:15,159
Speaker 1: go to the next level is they might kind of

270
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:18,200
Speaker 1: creep like down the leg and they creep down the

271
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:20,679
Speaker 1: leg again, and then as they're creeping, they might just

272
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:24,200
Speaker 1: I mean talking about fingertip like it could be an accident.

273
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 1: It very well could be an accident, because I've I've

274
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 1: had massages by men were you know sometimes it's like,

275
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 1: I mean just like the slightest like maybe like the

276
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:36,639
Speaker 1: finger tip kind of accidentally, you know, my graze something

277
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 1: like a ball or a cock or something like that.

278
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,680
Speaker 1: But the way they see if you're interested is they'll

279
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 1: do it again. Okay, and then they might do it again.

280
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 1: Then if you kind of respond with a thrust or

281
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,640
Speaker 1: a moan or or an a or something like that,

282
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:57,920
Speaker 1: then we might get into exploring where things can go. Okay,

283
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:01,440
Speaker 1: And I don't know how Robert Kraft and the rest

284
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:03,879
Speaker 1: of these guys down there in Florida, and the rumor

285
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:07,160
Speaker 1: has it sources, and I'm not just throwing this out there,

286
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:12,440
Speaker 1: sources have said that there is another big name that's

287
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 1: going to come out. Okay, this is just sources, and

288
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 1: this is from some of my sports people. But sources

289
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 1: have said that the big name is one of the

290
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:28,119
Speaker 1: big athletes that lives down in Florida. Now, one of

291
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:30,919
Speaker 1: those names is Tiger Woods. If it was Tiger Woods,

292
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 1: it would be sort of a disappointing big name. Bec

293
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 1: was like, oh man, I thought we had someone good.

294
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:38,119
Speaker 1: Of course, Tiger goes to the fucking rubbing tug. You

295
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,439
Speaker 1: ain't fooling anybody, Tiger. I don't give a funk what

296
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 1: you say, how you present yourself, your family, We know

297
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:49,400
Speaker 1: how you get down. No one thinks anything more about

298
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:52,119
Speaker 1: how you get down. We know you're about that life.

299
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 1: The other big name that allegedly has been thrown around

300
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 1: and it hasn't come out yet, But the other big

301
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:01,680
Speaker 1: name that they were saying that could possibly be tied

302
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 1: into this is the goat Michael Jordan's. I think he

303
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 1: has a house down there. And this is just the

304
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:11,679
Speaker 1: name that I heard that could possibly be tied into us.

305
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:14,359
Speaker 1: But but neither one of those guys has has been convicted.

306
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:19,480

00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,360
Speaker 1: and then we go where we want to go. Um.

327
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 1: So apparently the morning of the Kansas City Chiefs game, Uh,

328
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 1: Mammy and Patrick Mahomes and Tyreek Hill had him so nervous.

329
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 1: He needs to get a little release. Uh so he

330
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:38,479
Speaker 1: he could relax and focus on the football game. Uh.

331
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 1: And because it's Robert Kraft and he's a billionaire and

Speaker 1: in bullet point details. Mad shaming is this, Okay, if

404
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 1: you love something, if you get excited, if you're passionate

405
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:36,639
Speaker 1: about something, if you get hyped, uh, you celebrate something.

406
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 1: The opposite of that is being mad at something. The

407
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 1: Patriots are great example, the New England Patriots. Okay, most

408
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 1: people uh in the world outside of Boston can't stand

00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 1: you don't like them because they're so good, And I say, duh, motherfucker,

411
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 1: and they'll say you mad, bro, you're mad, and I go, yes,

412
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:05,359
Speaker 1: I'm fucking mad. My team sucks. Your team is good.

413
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 1: Tom Brady is his face pumped up with more botox

414
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:13,199
Speaker 1: than Lady Gaga had at the Oscars. And he's a

415
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 1: football player. Okay, you're fucking owner goes to Ruppin tugs see,

416
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:19,960
Speaker 1: and then people like, oh you mad. You made it

417
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:23,640
Speaker 1: all started when Richard Sherman said to Tom Brady, coincidentally,

418
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:28,200
Speaker 1: you mad, bro? You mad? When Tom Brady through those

419
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:32,440
Speaker 1: interceptions to Richard Sherman and you know, people like, oh

420
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:35,880
Speaker 1: you mad. Yes, let me life life. If you're gonna

421
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 1: be happy about things, if you're gonna be excited about things,

422
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:42,639
Speaker 1: if you're gonna be uh, celebrating things, you have the

423
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 1: right to get mad about things. And recently people have

424
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:51,119
Speaker 1: been mad shaming me, like, Yo, you're so mad, bro,

425
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:53,879
Speaker 1: Why are you so mad? You're mad because Lebron James

426
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:57,439
Speaker 1: ain't on your team? Yes, you mad because Lebron James

427
00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 1: just wins. Yes, I get mad shamed all the time.

428
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:06,720
Speaker 1: And what I'm here to discusses do not feel ashamed

429
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 1: of your emotions, whether they're extraordinarily hype, whether you love

430
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 1: something or whether you can't stand something. I feel like

431
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:19,359
Speaker 1: I give a balance attack, I talk shit, and I

432
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 1: give credit where credit is due. When something's going by way,

433
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:26,879
Speaker 1: I celebrate it. When something doesn't work out in my favor,

434
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:30,119
Speaker 1: I'm angry about it, but I should not be mad shamed.

435
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 1: The Internet is the devil's playground, especially for mad shaming.

436
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 1: There's so much mad shaming or or hate shaming. You

437
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 1: why you hate? In why you hate? And you you

438
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:46,480
Speaker 1: why you hating on? Lebron fucking forget this fucking guy.

439
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 1: Lebron James is the perfect athlete that, for some reason

440
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 1: or another, you can't hate on. Everybody understands why you

441
00:27:56,760 --> 00:28:00,680
Speaker 1: would hate on Tom Brady. Everybody understood you would hate

442
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:04,119
Speaker 1: on Kobe Bryant. Everybody understands why people hate it on

443
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:10,920
Speaker 1: Larry Bird. Everybody understands why people hate Drake. But Lebron

444
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:18,439
Speaker 1: James is exempt. Lebron fucking James through his team under

445
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:23,639
Speaker 1: the bus yet again. Just two days ago they lost

446
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:29,200
Speaker 1: to the Anthony Davis Liss New Orleans Pelicans, and instead

447
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:32,760
Speaker 1: of just saying, yo, we didn't play well, I didn't

448
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:35,200
Speaker 1: play well. We got a re up, we got another

449
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 1: game in a couple of days, he starts finger pointing

450
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 1: at everybody, at anybody, and it made me think that

451
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:46,320
Speaker 1: Lebron James, I think that he your fame and success

452
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 1: can do this to you. I seriously think that Lebron

453
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 1: James thinks that Luke Walton and the entire coaching staff,

454
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 1: Kyle Kuzma, and the rest of the players on the

455
00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 1: Lakers are all there to help for facilitate him get

456
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 1: a championship. And I'm saying because I'm like, what is

457
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 1: wrong with this fucking guy? Like, you know, he's a

458
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 1: good father. You know he understands basketball. You know he

459
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 1: understands what it takes for a team to do well.

460
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:19,360
Speaker 1: Why every single time your team doesn't do well, despite

461
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:21,960
Speaker 1: the fact that you're playing no defense because your body

462
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 1: can not allow you to play offense and defense anymore,

463
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 1: you throw your team under the bus. If that was

464
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:30,400
Speaker 1: one of his sons saying, man, this guy didn't play

465
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 1: good or that guy didn't play good, he'd be like,

466
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 1: you know what, make them better, pick them up, make

467
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 1: them feel like they're part of the team. What did

468
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 1: you do wrong? What can you do better? That's what

469
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 1: he would say to his son. But when it comes

470
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 1: to the Los Angeles Lakers, he acts like everybody is

471
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:51,120
Speaker 1: there to facilitate his legacy, to facilitate him getting his

472
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 1: next championship, and he acts like the entire team is

473
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 1: a bunch of bumps. Javel McGee has two rings, Rondo

474
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 1: has a ring, Aye, and Chandler has a ring. Land

475
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 1: Stevenson he doesn't have a ring, but he's been deep

476
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. He knows what it takes to win.

477
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 1: So the guys that he's shipping on Kuzma who's playing

478
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 1: well every single game, brand in Ingram, who scored twenty

479
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:18,479
Speaker 1: nine points in the game that Lebron James threw him

480
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 1: under the bus yet again. I just don't get it.

481
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 1: I don't get it. And then when I call him

482
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:26,840
Speaker 1: on the people like you, Hayden, why you're so mad? Bro?

483
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 1: Yo yo, the same reason why I'm at It's the same,

484
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 1: the same emotion that I'm gonna have and I'm gonna

485
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:38,240
Speaker 1: carry when the Warriors knocked them the funk out of

486
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:40,480
Speaker 1: the playoffs, even if they make it to the playoffs,

487
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 1: because at this point, the way they're playing and the

488
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 1: way he's fingerpointing, I do not think they're making it

489
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 1: to the playoffs. Again, I won't bet on that because

490
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 1: it's Lebron, and I think that that core of young

491
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:55,960
Speaker 1: players around him can get it together. But show every day,

492
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 1: every game counts and I'm so sick and tired because

493
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 1: I don't suck this guy off every move he makes

494
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:05,280
Speaker 1: I get matching. Like I said, it's okay to talk

495
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 1: about Brady. No one questions why anybody we'll talk about

496
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 1: Brady or no one questions why anybody we'll talk about

497
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:18,320
Speaker 1: Joe Montana or Troy Aikman or fucking Tony Romo. But

498
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 1: for some reason, in sports, everybody's gotta love and and

499
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 1: and bow down to Lebron James. Get the funk out

500
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 1: of here, fuck you and fuck your mad shaming ass.

501
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:36,840
Speaker 1: Let me be, let me emote if you don't like it, Okay,

502
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:40,080
Speaker 1: maybe it's because I'm speaking that truth, speaking that good,

503
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 1: good truth. What else is going on? So apparently juicy

504
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 1: Jesse so Lane is in the same prison that R

505
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:56,720
Speaker 1: Kelly just got out of. R Kelly spent this past

506
00:31:56,760 --> 00:32:02,320
Speaker 1: weekend in jail. The motherfucker finally went to jail. I

507
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 1: think they got him. I think now they got this

508
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:14,240
Speaker 1: fucking degenerate cocksucker, Robert Kelly. Are fucking Kelly? I think

509
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:17,360
Speaker 1: I think they got There's more sex tapes with underaged women,

510
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 1: and I just hope that when he makes his first

511
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 1: appearance in court, R Kelly shows up with a black

512
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 1: fucking eye. I think any child molesters rapists, this piece

513
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 1: of ship who's been having sex with fourteen year old

514

Speaker 1: girls despite the fact that he's fifty two, You nasty,

515
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 1: dirty shit bag. When he shows up to court, the

516
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:46,480
Speaker 1: Chicago Police Department and the correction officers in the jail

517
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:49,000
Speaker 1: where he's staying, they should pride themselves like, Yo, he

518
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:52,960
Speaker 1: ain't showing up without at least a black eye, a

519
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:57,920

Speaker 1: should at least have a broken foot and a black eye. Um.

524
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 1: I hope that Chicago represents and the correction officers that

535
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:49,720
Speaker 1: nothing wrong with a little bumping grind. That's that song

536
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:53,720
Speaker 1: is gonna take on a whole new meaning when he's

537
00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 1: in prison, like Robert Kelly's gonna be Yo. R Kelly

Speaker 1: it off himself, he knows it's coming. If he doesn't

541
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 1: off himself. But these people are so sick, uh, they'll

542
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 1: just hang onto their their glimmer of being not guilty forever.

543
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:25,719
Speaker 1: But this piece of ship doesn't deserve to show up

609
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:06,320
Speaker 1: on a dog walk with his dog and a coyote

610
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:11,720
Speaker 1: approached him and his dog. The coyote tried to steal

611
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:19,920
Speaker 1: eat kill my man's dog. But Duke fought back. The

612
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:23,440
Speaker 1: county tried to bite his legs. First homeboys smashed him

613
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:27,440
Speaker 1: over the head with his coffee cup. Continued to smash

614
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:31,360
Speaker 1: this rabid cocksucker over the head with his coffee cup,

615
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:34,719
Speaker 1: he says, and I quote, he came at me. He

616
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:37,279
Speaker 1: came at me again, so I smashed him, and I

617
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:40,960
Speaker 1: smashed him again. He then jumped at my face. And

618
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:44,240
Speaker 1: when he did that, well, I smashed him one more time.

619
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:50,279
Speaker 1: I screamed, and he left. Be careful out there. These

620
00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:54,719
Speaker 1: coyotes are not your friends. They're not your neighborhood friendly coyote.

621
00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:59,759
Speaker 1: This ain't bugs Bunny. Is there a cooty on bugs Bunny?

622
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:03,840
Speaker 1: I'm asking myself. I don't even know. I have no idea.

623
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:06,080
Speaker 1: I know what there was, wily coyote. He was either

624
00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:08,120
Speaker 1: on Bugs Bunny or the road runner. You know. If

625
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:11,680
Speaker 1: I saw the road runner Duke from the Disney cartoons,

626
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:14,680
Speaker 1: fucking hit him too, hit him with my coffee cup

627
00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:16,920
Speaker 1: anything I can get my hands. I don't trust these animals.

628
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:21,719
Speaker 1: There's a woman uh down there in Houston. She's a

629
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:26,799
Speaker 1: dog trainer, a well known neighborhood dog trainer. She was

630
00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:30,920
Speaker 1: found in her backyard, unfortunately dead, with dog bites covering

631
00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:35,280
Speaker 1: her arms, her hands, and her face. A Doberman pincher

632
00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:40,040
Speaker 1: that she had been training killed her. When of her

633
00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:42,799
Speaker 1: clients showed up for a training session, the woman was

634
00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:47,319
Speaker 1: in her back yard dead. Yo, you know my rule

635
00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:51,880
Speaker 1: if I if I'm not a hundred percent sure that

636
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:55,480
Speaker 1: the animal can be controlled and beaten up, if we

637
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:57,319
Speaker 1: get into a fight, because that's what it's gonna be.

638
00:40:57,360 --> 00:41:00,680
Speaker 1: You're fighting an animal. It could be a kangaroo, a

639
00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:06,839
Speaker 1: pit bull, a horse. They shouldn't be home pets, these

640
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:10,600
Speaker 1: Doberman pictures, these these pit bulls like they're a hundred

641
00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:12,959
Speaker 1: and sixty. Some people are good with them. Some people

642
00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:16,400
Speaker 1: and the majority of the times nothing happens. But for me,

643
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:19,160
Speaker 1: me personally, if I can't get like my dog, Wheezy

644
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:23,440
Speaker 1: sweetest can be. Let's say he ate uh some some

645
00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:25,640
Speaker 1: ship with rabies in it, and he tried to he

646
00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:30,800
Speaker 1: tried to get crunk with me, and it's me or Wheezy,

647
00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:33,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna body slam you. Wee I'm looking right at you, Weezy.

648
00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:35,600
Speaker 1: You try any of that funky ship with me, I'm

649
00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:40,680
Speaker 1: body slamming your ass. Okay, and it ain't gonna be personal.

650
00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:43,640
Speaker 1: But if it comes between you and me, uh, me

651
00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:47,000
Speaker 1: and my wife, me and my kids because you ate

652
00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:50,600
Speaker 1: some raby infected ship, I'm not I'm not having it.

653
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:52,480
Speaker 1: I need to be able to know that I can

654
00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:56,160
Speaker 1: secure the animal at the snap, at the snap of

655
00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:58,279
Speaker 1: a finger. I don't want to be in like the

656
00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:01,440
Speaker 1: fight of my life. I don't want to feel like

657
00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:04,440
Speaker 1: I'm in there with Joe Frasier for fifteen rounds with

658
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:07,440
Speaker 1: with a home pet, a horse, any of it. Not

659
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:13,880
Speaker 1: just my personal rule. Next in Florida. Now, this is

660
00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:16,239
Speaker 1: uh not a big story, but if you saw the guy,

661
00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:19,840
Speaker 1: he is perfect example of what a sick funk looks like.

662
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:25,240
Speaker 1: He's got some sort of u bat webbing, spider webbing

663
00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:29,400
Speaker 1: tattoos on his forehead. Then he's got some scribble scrabble

664
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:33,040
Speaker 1: above his eye. Then he's got all sorts of random words,

665
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:35,680
Speaker 1: all of it, all the work or his tattoo work

666
00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:38,879
Speaker 1: is on the right side of his face. Uh see, Yes,

667
00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:41,880
Speaker 1: everybody's gonna discriminate because not only do you have tattoos,

668
00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:44,600
Speaker 1: you have very bad tattoos, and you have words that

669
00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:48,799
Speaker 1: are unreadable on your face. Did you do this yourself? Oh?

670
00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:52,239
Speaker 1: People think I'm weird because my my tattoos. Yes. Yes,

671
00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:54,759
Speaker 1: And anyone who tells you different is lying to you.

672
00:42:55,000 --> 00:43:00,279
Speaker 1: Wade Smith was arrested and charged with domestic battery in

673
00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:05,880
Speaker 1: Florida over the weekend after he threw cookies at his girlfriend.

674
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:10,680
Speaker 1: Again not a real, big, serious situation. Now, I don't

675
00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:14,160
Speaker 1: know why she called the police on her on her

676
00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:16,600
Speaker 1: board the boyfriend for throwing cookies. That's that's the end

677
00:43:16,640 --> 00:43:19,720
Speaker 1: of the story. He threw cookies on her forehead, leaving

678
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:22,400
Speaker 1: her forehead with a mark. Well, sweetheart, at least you

679
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:24,839
Speaker 1: don't have tattoos all over your face. Why are you

680
00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:30,680
Speaker 1: with this lunatic? Anyway? Look them up? Look up Wade Smith, Florida.

681
00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:35,000
Speaker 1: He looks nuts. Why is this even a story that

682
00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:37,120
Speaker 1: you know? What? Way, the reason why they arrested you

683
00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:39,839
Speaker 1: is because they wanted to run your file because when

684
00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:41,600
Speaker 1: they came to the house and like, oh Jesus, a

685
00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:45,120
Speaker 1: little dispute, he threw cookies. It's because of the tattoos.

686
00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:48,680
Speaker 1: And I have no problem discriminating against these face tattoos.

687
00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:52,640
Speaker 1: This isn't like some Mike Tyson ship. These aren't even

688
00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:56,800
Speaker 1: like some uh what's his name? What's his name? The singer?

689
00:43:57,400 --> 00:44:02,480
Speaker 1: Uh is his name? But sucking white iverson guy who

690
00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:05,640
Speaker 1: has always tired. These are worse tattoos. I can't even

691
00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:09,640
Speaker 1: remember Duke's name. Okay, but when you walk around looking

692
00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:13,080
Speaker 1: like that, yeah, people, people are gonna jump to conclusions. Sorry,

693
00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:18,840
Speaker 1: this South Carolina couple too, sick fox. The guy has

694
00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:22,000
Speaker 1: a whole full head of tattoos all around his head.

695
00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:25,800
Speaker 1: Looks like a sick funck, his dark black, beady eyes.

696
00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:32,319
Speaker 1: Robert Saldaga and Sabrina Emeric were charged with torturing their

697
00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:36,680
Speaker 1: kids with hot sauce and peppers to try to discipline them.

698
00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:42,240
Speaker 1: They would make them eat Tabasco sauce and peppers. Piece

699
00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:47,360
Speaker 1: of shit. These people are animals, you know the little

700
00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:51,239
Speaker 1: boys five and seven and happened on multiple times. You

701
00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:53,880
Speaker 1: can't figure out a better way to discipline your kids.

702
00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:57,240
Speaker 1: They poured the hot sauce in their eyes and their mouth,

703
00:44:57,560 --> 00:45:01,399
Speaker 1: which induced vomiting. I don't know how it was tipped off,

704
00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:07,920
Speaker 1: but good you got arrested. Animals. Sick fuck Robert Salgado, Saldago,

00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:20,120
Speaker 1: and then you lock him down. Keep him in there

709
00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:23,000
Speaker 1: for a while. Find somebody else to take care of

710
00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:26,200
Speaker 1: these kids. You guys are good people. No, you know

711
00:45:26,239 --> 00:45:29,840
Speaker 1: what you are. You're sick Fox. That's it. That's it.

Speaker 1: the Kim jung Um Donald Trump summit meeting, and which

717
00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:54,360
Speaker 1: one of these people has a chance to take down

718
00:45:54,719 --> 00:45:58,160
Speaker 1: Dick Stain Donald Trump. Coming up next with my man

719
00:45:58,640 --> 00:46:10,759
Speaker 1: Eli Lake from Bloomberg News. Hello, yo, Eli, Michael Lap,

720
00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:15,080
Speaker 1: what up my man? Get to hear from you. Good

721
00:46:15,120 --> 00:46:18,400
Speaker 1: to hear from you too. Man. How's everything It's going okay?

722
00:46:19,239 --> 00:46:23,600
Speaker 1: How's uh? How's life in Washington? What? What's the inside scoop? What?

723
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:25,680
Speaker 1: What are you excited about? What are you nervous about?

724
00:46:26,239 --> 00:46:28,480
Speaker 1: And then and then I want to finally ask you

725
00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:32,920
Speaker 1: do any one of the nine hundred and seventy I

726
00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:37,040
Speaker 1: think it's n seventy four people that have thrown their

727
00:46:37,040 --> 00:46:44,560
Speaker 1: hat into the Democratic presidential election pool have a shot

728
00:46:44,600 --> 00:46:50,080
Speaker 1: taking down bad, bad dick Stain Donald Trump. But start

729
00:46:50,120 --> 00:46:52,160
Speaker 1: with the other things and end and end with the

730
00:46:52,520 --> 00:46:56,160
Speaker 1: presidential pool, because I'm not I'm not feeling confident about

731
00:46:56,200 --> 00:47:00,800
Speaker 1: any of them. Well, in Washington, you know, inside d C,

732
00:47:01,080 --> 00:47:05,319
Speaker 1: everybody is waiting for the big Mueller report, which is

733
00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:07,640
Speaker 1: not going to be this week but probably next week now,

734
00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:11,360
Speaker 1: and that is gonna tell us, you know, whether or

735
00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:16,400
Speaker 1: not we're gonna see Democrats begin impeachment or if it's

736
00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:19,480
Speaker 1: going to continue to kind of go on the way

737
00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:23,799
Speaker 1: it is. And you know, I suspect that they're not

738
00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:27,439
Speaker 1: going to get the president for the initial uh sort

739
00:47:27,440 --> 00:47:30,480
Speaker 1: of conspiracy idea that we thought that he was involved

740
00:47:30,520 --> 00:47:35,880
Speaker 1: directly with Russians to help the influence campaign of election.

741
00:47:36,560 --> 00:47:38,759
Speaker 1: But there are a whole lot of other things that

742
00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:42,360
Speaker 1: don't really have much to do with that um, whether

743
00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:46,000
Speaker 1: it's you know, paying off Stormy Daniels and other torn

744
00:47:46,080 --> 00:47:50,040
Speaker 1: stars which would be a kind of illegal um and

745
00:47:50,120 --> 00:47:53,640
Speaker 1: lying about that which would be illegal campaign finance violations,

746
00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:55,799
Speaker 1: which are going to be helped dealt with through the

747
00:47:55,840 --> 00:47:59,880
Speaker 1: Southern District of New York and then and so so

748
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:03,160
Speaker 1: that's the state of play at this point. But my

749
00:48:03,320 --> 00:48:05,759
Speaker 1: sense of it is just reading the other indictments from

750
00:48:05,840 --> 00:48:10,200
Speaker 1: Robert Mueller so far, is that he doesn't have a

751
00:48:10,360 --> 00:48:14,960
Speaker 1: direct conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russia with regards

752
00:48:14,960 --> 00:48:17,799
Speaker 1: to those stolen emails, but that you know, he's got

753
00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:19,400
Speaker 1: a lot of other stuff. I mean, there's certainly a

754
00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:22,760
Speaker 1: lot of lying that Trump did and other people around

755
00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:25,000
Speaker 1: him did, and that you know, there there, there there

756
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:28,440
Speaker 1: will be. In the case of his one time campaign

757
00:48:28,520 --> 00:48:31,920
Speaker 1: manager Paul Manafort, looks like he's gonna probably end up

758
00:48:31,960 --> 00:48:37,359
Speaker 1: going to jail for the rest of his life. Manaphort was,

759
00:48:37,520 --> 00:48:39,640
Speaker 1: I mean, you have to understand, this guy goes back

760
00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:43,040
Speaker 1: a long way back to the eighties and is one

761
00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:47,960
Speaker 1: of the sleaziest Washington insiders, and you know, he'd fallen

762
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:50,719
Speaker 1: out of favor in the last twenty years and had

763
00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:54,480
Speaker 1: worked for some of the shadiest clients you can imagine,

764
00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:59,279
Speaker 1: not just oligarchs who were connected to Vladimir Putin, but

765
00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:03,640
Speaker 1: you here's somebody who had represented uh, you know, and

766
00:49:03,840 --> 00:49:08,839
Speaker 1: going rebels who were absolutely barbaric, the Saudis at one

767
00:49:08,880 --> 00:49:12,400
Speaker 1: point in arms deals. Uh. One of my kind of

768
00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:15,720
Speaker 1: favorite my own reporting, One of my favorite Palm Manafort

769
00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:17,960
Speaker 1: stories that goes back in the day is that he

770
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:22,440
Speaker 1: was involved in trying to on the one hand, secure

771
00:49:23,239 --> 00:49:25,960
Speaker 1: low interest loans for housing developers are supposed to be

772
00:49:26,040 --> 00:49:29,360
Speaker 1: for poor communities, and on the back end, he was

773
00:49:29,520 --> 00:49:33,200
Speaker 1: buying up the properties that he was lobbying for with

774
00:49:33,280 --> 00:49:36,799
Speaker 1: his connections to the Reagan administration. And when he went

775
00:49:36,880 --> 00:49:39,719
Speaker 1: before Congress back in the day on this, like you know,

776
00:49:39,840 --> 00:49:43,279
Speaker 1: actually a pretty ethical Republican named Chris Jays asked him,

777
00:49:43,480 --> 00:49:46,719
Speaker 1: don't you think this is terribly unethical? And he goes,

778
00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:48,759
Speaker 1: we see, you know, I did everything I could to

779
00:49:48,760 --> 00:49:50,279
Speaker 1: stay within the law. Like you know, it's it's one

780
00:49:50,320 --> 00:49:53,440
Speaker 1: of these guys who kind of slicks talked his way

781
00:49:53,480 --> 00:49:57,480
Speaker 1: through his career. He's in his late sixties now, and uh,

782
00:49:57,560 --> 00:49:59,000
Speaker 1: it looks like it's all going to kind of catch

783
00:49:59,080 --> 00:50:01,719
Speaker 1: up with him. And but I don't know how much

784
00:50:01,719 --> 00:50:03,440
Speaker 1: of that is gonna how much of that stink is

785
00:50:03,440 --> 00:50:05,919
Speaker 1: going to go on to Trump. And that's what I think.

786
00:50:06,200 --> 00:50:08,319
Speaker 1: You know, they don't necessarily have because a it would

787
00:50:08,320 --> 00:50:11,560
Speaker 1: have probably leaked out and be you know, if you

788
00:50:11,640 --> 00:50:14,640
Speaker 1: read some of these indictments. The campaign did not know

789
00:50:14,800 --> 00:50:18,120
Speaker 1: what was in the email staff, so they wanted Roger Stone,

790
00:50:18,120 --> 00:50:21,200
Speaker 1: another guy who you've talked about on the podcast before,

791
00:50:21,320 --> 00:50:23,520
Speaker 1: to find out from Wiki leaks what was in them. Well,

792
00:50:23,520 --> 00:50:26,839
Speaker 1: that would suggest that there wasn't as much coordination as

793
00:50:27,120 --> 00:50:32,120
Speaker 1: certainly I thought. You know, at the end of sen alright, alright,

794
00:50:32,239 --> 00:50:34,799
Speaker 1: and then can you explain I know it's probably like

795
00:50:34,920 --> 00:50:38,879
Speaker 1: a long, long version, but can you explain Venezuela. Why

796
00:50:38,960 --> 00:50:42,759
Speaker 1: is uh the Venezuela thing pending? What's concerning about it,

797
00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:44,960
Speaker 1: what's good about it, what's bad about it? What's going

798
00:50:44,960 --> 00:50:47,680
Speaker 1: on in Venezuela. All right, I'm gonna try to do it.

799
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:55,640
Speaker 1: Break it down very simple. In the opposition to Nicolas

800
00:50:55,719 --> 00:50:59,799
Speaker 1: Madoro one the election for the equivalent of their con

801
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:04,799
Speaker 1: as their National Assembly, and in response, Maduro, through a

802
00:51:04,920 --> 00:51:12,000
Speaker 1: series of actions, effectively replaced the Congress with another body

803
00:51:12,600 --> 00:51:16,600
Speaker 1: and stripped them of their power. So there's been this

804
00:51:16,760 --> 00:51:21,760
Speaker 1: crisis that's been going on since, and it culminated last

805
00:51:21,880 --> 00:51:25,880
Speaker 1: May when Nicholas Maduro held an election. But you know,

806
00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:28,520
Speaker 1: he had arrested members of the opposition, but the opposition

807
00:51:28,560 --> 00:51:31,960
Speaker 1: did not recognize that as a constitutional election. He of

808
00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:35,839
Speaker 1: course won that election in the entire world pretty much

809
00:51:35,840 --> 00:51:39,520
Speaker 1: with the exception of Cuba and Russia, and I think

810
00:51:39,520 --> 00:51:44,080
Speaker 1: Iran UH did not recognize that. I guess China also

811
00:51:44,160 --> 00:51:46,799
Speaker 1: recognized it, but you know, none of the other no

812
00:51:46,920 --> 00:51:51,400
Speaker 1: other countries recognized the election. When Maduro's term came to

813
00:51:51,520 --> 00:51:54,320
Speaker 1: an end and his new term after winning the election

814
00:51:55,200 --> 00:51:57,560
Speaker 1: would start, which would have been January, I think, until

815
00:51:57,640 --> 00:52:03,680
Speaker 1: January eleventh. At that point, under the Venezuelan Constitution, a

816
00:52:03,760 --> 00:52:07,440
Speaker 1: sort of separate supreme court that is an exile determined

817
00:52:07,480 --> 00:52:10,239
Speaker 1: that he was no longer the legitimate president and counseled

818
00:52:10,280 --> 00:52:14,160
Speaker 1: the National Assembly to invoke an article in the constitution

819
00:52:14,680 --> 00:52:16,680
Speaker 1: to say that the president of the National Assembly is

820
00:52:16,760 --> 00:52:18,920
Speaker 1: someone named Juan Guido, who has been in the news,

821
00:52:19,560 --> 00:52:23,680
Speaker 1: is the interim president until they can hold the next election.

822
00:52:23,880 --> 00:52:27,600
Speaker 1: So he's not seizing power forever. It's not a coup.

823
00:52:28,080 --> 00:52:34,160
Speaker 1: He's following the Venezuelan Constitution. And that all happened about

824
00:52:34,239 --> 00:52:39,080
Speaker 1: a month ago in January, at which point not only

825
00:52:39,120 --> 00:52:41,560
Speaker 1: the United States we forget this, but it was also

826
00:52:43,400 --> 00:52:46,560
Speaker 1: almost the entire Latin America. It's something called the Lima

827
00:52:46,640 --> 00:52:50,080
Speaker 1: Group which are most countries with the exception of Cuba

828
00:52:50,120 --> 00:52:53,480
Speaker 1: and Mexico and I think Uruguay, but everybody else in

829
00:52:53,480 --> 00:52:57,080
Speaker 1: the entire Western hemisphere recognized that Gualdo was the interim

830
00:52:57,080 --> 00:53:01,680
Speaker 1: president of Venezuela about two weeks ago. You saw most

831
00:53:01,719 --> 00:53:04,759
Speaker 1: of Europe follows suit. So now there are more than

832
00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:07,920
Speaker 1: fifty countries who are recognized White as the interim leader.

833
00:53:08,680 --> 00:53:12,319
Speaker 1: In addition to all of that, uh Venezuela, which used

834
00:53:12,360 --> 00:53:14,440
Speaker 1: to be one of the wealthiest countries in South America,

835
00:53:14,520 --> 00:53:17,120
Speaker 1: is now one of the poorest because of corruption and

836
00:53:17,160 --> 00:53:20,400
Speaker 1: mismanagement that begins with Hugo Chavas, who was the president

837
00:53:20,880 --> 00:53:26,600
Speaker 1: before Maduro. As a result of that, Venezuela, which has

838
00:53:26,640 --> 00:53:30,000
Speaker 1: a lot of oil and should be a pretty normal country,

839
00:53:30,120 --> 00:53:35,680
Speaker 1: has a ridiculous level of hyper inflation, meaning that most

840
00:53:35,719 --> 00:53:39,840
Speaker 1: average people earn only earn enough money to barely feed themselves,

841
00:53:39,920 --> 00:53:43,000
Speaker 1: let alone their families. So there is a real crisis

842
00:53:43,040 --> 00:53:45,640
Speaker 1: in Venezuela. Or millions of people have been forced to

843
00:53:45,719 --> 00:53:48,080
Speaker 1: leave the country and they don't have enough food to

844
00:53:48,120 --> 00:53:51,040
Speaker 1: feed their own people. So what happened over the weekend

845
00:53:51,239 --> 00:53:54,200
Speaker 1: was that the United States and a few other countries

846
00:53:54,320 --> 00:53:59,280
Speaker 1: try to bring in convoys of food and medicine into

847
00:53:59,280 --> 00:54:04,120
Speaker 1: the country to just address the population, and Maduro ordered

848
00:54:04,400 --> 00:54:08,240
Speaker 1: the National Guard and his militias to attack those convoys,

849
00:54:08,239 --> 00:54:11,120
Speaker 1: which is where you saw those incredible images of like

850
00:54:11,160 --> 00:54:14,320
Speaker 1: trucks on fire and clashes that were in the news

851
00:54:14,360 --> 00:54:17,840
Speaker 1: over the weekend. And then today there was an important

852
00:54:17,880 --> 00:54:21,640
Speaker 1: meeting of this group of Lima where the they just

853
00:54:21,840 --> 00:54:24,319
Speaker 1: announced that there was an intention of you know, and

854
00:54:24,520 --> 00:54:26,359
Speaker 1: in the United States, not by the way, in that group,

855
00:54:26,360 --> 00:54:28,520
Speaker 1: it's mainly Latin American countries, and they announced that they

856
00:54:28,520 --> 00:54:32,520
Speaker 1: were going to seek charges against Maduro in the International

857
00:54:32,560 --> 00:54:37,840
Speaker 1: Criminal Court. So slowly but surely, Maduro is losing his legitimacy.

858
00:54:37,880 --> 00:54:40,279
Speaker 1: And what the United States has done, contrary to what

859
00:54:40,320 --> 00:54:42,920
Speaker 1: you might hear from some of the more progressive voices

860
00:54:43,080 --> 00:54:45,680
Speaker 1: or fearing that the US is planning an invasion or

861
00:54:45,719 --> 00:54:48,040
Speaker 1: some sort of military action, which is not happening at

862
00:54:48,040 --> 00:54:51,400
Speaker 1: when am my recording. What you're seeing is an effort

863
00:54:51,400 --> 00:54:53,759
Speaker 1: to try to say that the state of Venezuela, which

864
00:54:53,760 --> 00:54:56,600
Speaker 1: is no longer legitimate, can no longer spend the money

865
00:54:56,680 --> 00:54:58,680
Speaker 1: that are in American banks, and there's quite a lot

866
00:54:58,760 --> 00:55:01,319
Speaker 1: of it, because you know, most of Latin America does

867
00:55:01,360 --> 00:55:04,160
Speaker 1: their banking in the United States, so that has put

868
00:55:04,160 --> 00:55:07,799
Speaker 1: a real squeeze on the Venezuelan government. And I think

869
00:55:07,840 --> 00:55:10,400
Speaker 1: that the one country that will stick with it is Cuba.

870
00:55:10,480 --> 00:55:12,200
Speaker 1: But I mean I think that the Russians and the

871
00:55:12,280 --> 00:55:13,880
Speaker 1: Chinese at a certain point are going to try to

872
00:55:13,880 --> 00:55:16,800
Speaker 1: cut him, cut him off and let him go. Because

873
00:55:17,480 --> 00:55:21,440
Speaker 1: in this period, when you know, Medora was in charge

874
00:55:21,440 --> 00:55:24,640
Speaker 1: in Chavesman's hard they took out a number of loans

875
00:55:24,960 --> 00:55:29,360
Speaker 1: from China and Russia to build infrastructure, and at this point,

876
00:55:29,400 --> 00:55:31,560
Speaker 1: if things continue, they don't have the ability to really

877
00:55:31,600 --> 00:55:34,040
Speaker 1: pay those countries back, so there is a financial interest.

878
00:55:34,080 --> 00:55:37,840
Speaker 1: In the end, they just sort of support an interim

879
00:55:37,880 --> 00:55:40,520
Speaker 1: government and new elections in Venezuela so they can get

880
00:55:40,600 --> 00:55:43,359
Speaker 1: their oil industry and everything back to normal. But again

881
00:55:43,440 --> 00:55:45,640
Speaker 1: Maduro has not stepped down, so we're in a little

882
00:55:45,640 --> 00:55:47,880
Speaker 1: bit of a crisis at this point. Now is is

883
00:55:48,040 --> 00:55:51,840
Speaker 1: Venezuela right now, the way it's been run as a

884
00:55:51,920 --> 00:55:58,239
Speaker 1: reason a socialist country? It is a socialist country, and

885
00:55:58,840 --> 00:56:00,920
Speaker 1: we should and it was, you know, and and I

886
00:56:00,920 --> 00:56:05,200
Speaker 1: should also say leading Western socialists until fairly recently believed

887
00:56:05,239 --> 00:56:08,000
Speaker 1: that Venezuela was sort of a model for how to

888
00:56:08,040 --> 00:56:12,040
Speaker 1: manage things. That said, it's not the only socialist model

889
00:56:12,200 --> 00:56:14,759
Speaker 1: that there. There are other countries, like you could say,

890
00:56:14,760 --> 00:56:19,640
Speaker 1: Sweden has a socialist sort of hybrid model Denmark that

891
00:56:19,680 --> 00:56:23,520
Speaker 1: are much more prosperous. But yes, Venezuela would count as

892
00:56:24,000 --> 00:56:27,560
Speaker 1: a socialist country. But it wasn't just the socialism that

893
00:56:27,719 --> 00:56:30,280
Speaker 1: ruined it. I think i'm myself, I'm not a socialist,

894
00:56:30,280 --> 00:56:33,839
Speaker 1: but it wasn't. It was also just extraordinary corruption. So

895
00:56:33,920 --> 00:56:35,560
Speaker 1: what you saw was that there's a you know, in

896
00:56:35,719 --> 00:56:38,520
Speaker 1: order to run the national oil company, you have to

897
00:56:38,560 --> 00:56:41,480
Speaker 1: know how to run a business and understand how oil

898
00:56:41,520 --> 00:56:44,600
Speaker 1: extraction works, and a whole lot of other complicated things.

899
00:56:44,680 --> 00:56:46,960
Speaker 1: And what Chavez began to do is just put his

900
00:56:47,080 --> 00:56:50,680
Speaker 1: supporters and cronies in charge of this institution. It became

901
00:56:50,760 --> 00:56:53,840
Speaker 1: kind of a cash cow, and therefore, of course it

902
00:56:53,920 --> 00:56:58,840
Speaker 1: became inefficient and was unable to do its basic function.

903
00:56:59,280 --> 00:57:04,040
Speaker 1: So it was a combination of corruption and socialism. And also,

904
00:57:04,320 --> 00:57:06,760
Speaker 1: you know, eventually the price of oil sort of went down,

905
00:57:07,360 --> 00:57:11,120
Speaker 1: and you know, eventually, you know, Venezuela really suffered. But

906
00:57:11,120 --> 00:57:14,680
Speaker 1: it was just it's incredible kind of mismanagement of the country.

907
00:57:14,800 --> 00:57:16,680
Speaker 1: And there really is a lot of work to do.

908
00:57:16,760 --> 00:57:21,400
Speaker 1: I mean, the statistics are baffling if you think about it.

909
00:57:21,440 --> 00:57:24,480
Speaker 1: The idea that like, you know, you would they basically

910
00:57:24,680 --> 00:57:26,920
Speaker 1: the experience of Venezuela's you would go into a supermarket.

911
00:57:27,160 --> 00:57:29,000
Speaker 1: The price was so unstable that you would go in

912
00:57:29,560 --> 00:57:31,280
Speaker 1: and like, you know, a carton of eggs would be

913
00:57:31,520 --> 00:57:33,360
Speaker 1: so much money. And then by the time you look,

914
00:57:33,440 --> 00:57:35,240
Speaker 1: like thirty minutes later, when you went to the cash here,

915
00:57:35,280 --> 00:57:37,200
Speaker 1: it would be going up and up and up. And

916
00:57:37,240 --> 00:57:40,400
Speaker 1: that's what they were dealing with. And this whole idea

917
00:57:40,440 --> 00:57:44,240
Speaker 1: of socialism in the United States, and and you know,

918
00:57:44,840 --> 00:57:48,080
Speaker 1: I listen, I claim to know nothing, but this whole

919
00:57:48,120 --> 00:57:51,120
Speaker 1: idea of socialism in the United States, is that something

920
00:57:51,160 --> 00:57:55,000
Speaker 1: that you could ever imagine happening, like that could ever

921
00:57:55,040 --> 00:57:59,320
Speaker 1: be a real thing here? Well? There, the United States

922
00:57:59,400 --> 00:58:03,280
Speaker 1: does not have a sure free market system, so you know,

923
00:58:03,360 --> 00:58:07,840
Speaker 1: we there's there, there's a lot of the government subsidizes

924
00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:10,880
Speaker 1: all kinds of industries in the United States, but it's

925
00:58:10,880 --> 00:58:13,919
Speaker 1: still basically a clime. I can't imagine a system where

926
00:58:13,920 --> 00:58:17,200
Speaker 1: there would be you know, pretty much you know, you

927
00:58:17,320 --> 00:58:19,720
Speaker 1: you would have limits on how much wealth you could

928
00:58:19,320 --> 00:58:22,240
Speaker 1: have or that there would be you know, very little

929
00:58:22,240 --> 00:58:26,240
Speaker 1: private property that's never really gonna happen. Um, what we're

930
00:58:26,280 --> 00:58:30,640
Speaker 1: really talking about is should there be really punitive taxes

931
00:58:30,760 --> 00:58:35,280
Speaker 1: on billionaires? And you know, billionaires do pay taxes in

932
00:58:35,280 --> 00:58:39,320
Speaker 1: the United States, but you know, they're the the proposals

933
00:58:39,320 --> 00:58:42,560
Speaker 1: I think from some Democrats are that they should pay

934
00:58:42,600 --> 00:58:45,280
Speaker 1: a whole lot more. But you know that it's a

935
00:58:45,320 --> 00:58:47,400
Speaker 1: little bit of a double edged sword. And sometimes like

936
00:58:47,440 --> 00:58:51,400
Speaker 1: people like A s. C. Alexandria or Kazi Cortez, you know,

937
00:58:51,520 --> 00:58:54,640
Speaker 1: she she's not responsible for this decision, but she was

938
00:58:54,800 --> 00:58:57,040
Speaker 1: very much against this deal in New York City for

939
00:58:57,080 --> 00:59:00,280
Speaker 1: Amazon to put their headquarters there, and paul ard of

940
00:59:00,320 --> 00:59:02,360
Speaker 1: that deal was that Amazon would get a certain amount

941
00:59:02,360 --> 00:59:05,320
Speaker 1: of tax breaks, you know, because they were generating a

942
00:59:05,320 --> 00:59:08,520
Speaker 1: lot of income for New York and New York stayed

943
00:59:08,520 --> 00:59:11,800
Speaker 1: as well. But you know, when she was asked about this,

944
00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:14,040
Speaker 1: the way that she expressed it was that, you know,

945
00:59:14,120 --> 00:59:16,400
Speaker 1: we could use the money from tax breaks to just

946
00:59:16,520 --> 00:59:18,160
Speaker 1: go directly to the people. But that's not how it

947
00:59:18,160 --> 00:59:20,760
Speaker 1: works because the income that you would be getting a

948
00:59:20,840 --> 00:59:23,040
Speaker 1: tax break on is not going to come to New York.

949
00:59:23,080 --> 00:59:26,360
Speaker 1: Now now that you know, I don't know how familiar

950
00:59:26,400 --> 00:59:30,120
Speaker 1: were with Long Island City, but I am actually I

951
00:59:30,160 --> 00:59:31,920
Speaker 1: know I believe it or not. My girlfriend and I

952
00:59:32,000 --> 00:59:34,840
Speaker 1: have recently gone there, you know, independently of all this stuff.

953
00:59:34,880 --> 00:59:37,360
Speaker 1: But I like, yeah, but but it's like there's nothing

954
00:59:37,400 --> 00:59:40,640
Speaker 1: popping out there, and the reality of it is, you know,

955
00:59:40,720 --> 00:59:42,600
Speaker 1: I think that it was I think it was bad.

956
00:59:42,600 --> 00:59:45,400
Speaker 1: And it's not just her. I think the New York

957
00:59:45,880 --> 00:59:50,080
Speaker 1: m the governmental of people, the the the officials, the senators,

958
00:59:50,400 --> 00:59:54,240
Speaker 1: the governor, the mayor, they fucked up because I think that, um,

959
00:59:54,280 --> 00:59:56,520
Speaker 1: it may not have been exactly what all of what

960
00:59:56,560 --> 00:59:59,080
Speaker 1: they wanted, but they came in there with Zoe It's

961
00:59:59,120 --> 01:00:01,760
Speaker 1: New York. Uh. And now there's nothing there. And there

962
01:00:01,800 --> 01:00:04,240
Speaker 1: were so many jobs and businesses in the neighborhood that

963
01:00:04,280 --> 01:00:07,840
Speaker 1: we're gonna benefit from it. And there's so many people

964
01:00:07,840 --> 01:00:10,640
Speaker 1: that you know would have used uh and and benefited

965
01:00:10,640 --> 01:00:13,080
Speaker 1: from having those jobs. And uh, you know, all the

966
01:00:13,120 --> 01:00:16,440
Speaker 1: business that having a huge place like Amazon, the diners,

967
01:00:16,480 --> 01:00:19,360
Speaker 1: the restaurants, the coffee shops, and you know, you know,

968
01:00:19,440 --> 01:00:22,840
Speaker 1: the housing and now now what's what's planned B or

969
01:00:22,880 --> 01:00:26,040
Speaker 1: C or D. There is none. There's there's no I mean,

970
01:00:26,280 --> 01:00:28,240
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know all the all the details,

971
01:00:28,240 --> 01:00:30,120
Speaker 1: but there's no there's no plan. So now it's a

972
01:00:30,200 --> 01:00:32,680
Speaker 1: lot of you know, space that hasn't been used, a

973
01:00:32,720 --> 01:00:35,840
Speaker 1: lot of these big factories that haven't been used. And

974
01:00:35,840 --> 01:00:38,800
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, they're like, oh, well it's New York.

975
01:00:39,400 --> 01:00:40,680
Speaker 1: You know you have to do this, you do that.

976
01:00:40,760 --> 01:00:43,320
Speaker 1: Well they fucking said, no, we're Amazon. We're gonna take

977
01:00:43,320 --> 01:00:46,240
Speaker 1: our business to Chicago or somewhere else. I think it

978
01:00:46,320 --> 01:00:49,560
Speaker 1: was I think it was bad, right, and that the

979
01:00:49,600 --> 01:00:51,720
Speaker 1: truly matter is is that, you know, you could you

980
01:00:51,720 --> 01:00:54,040
Speaker 1: could argue around the margins that it was too generous

981
01:00:54,080 --> 01:00:57,000
Speaker 1: or that they you know, that's fine, but like I

982
01:00:57,040 --> 01:01:00,200
Speaker 1: think that the rhetoric that was used against it, saying like,

983
01:01:00,360 --> 01:01:02,880
Speaker 1: you know, it was terrible that that this corporation was

984
01:01:03,440 --> 01:01:05,880
Speaker 1: enticed to do it. There's a competition all over the

985
01:01:05,920 --> 01:01:11,200
Speaker 1: country about the new Amazon headquarters. So yes, cities are

986
01:01:11,240 --> 01:01:13,440
Speaker 1: competing with one another. So I think you're right. The

987
01:01:13,480 --> 01:01:15,160
Speaker 1: one thing I would say the listeners if they're in

988
01:01:15,200 --> 01:01:17,760
Speaker 1: New York City, there is a great museum in Long

989
01:01:17,760 --> 01:01:19,960
Speaker 1: Island City called p S One, which is a branch

990
01:01:19,960 --> 01:01:24,480
Speaker 1: of MoMA. I highly recommend that that is a it's

991
01:01:24,520 --> 01:01:30,520
Speaker 1: a mind th Um, what about Kim John un and

992
01:01:30,640 --> 01:01:35,560
Speaker 1: Trump their big meeting in Vietnam that they're having. Um, Well,

993
01:01:35,600 --> 01:01:38,760
Speaker 1: this is again, like it's premised on this goofball idea

994
01:01:39,440 --> 01:01:44,680
Speaker 1: that Kim Jong un really wants to have a twenty

995
01:01:44,720 --> 01:01:49,760
Speaker 1: first century economy in North Korea, and he obviously doesn't

996
01:01:49,760 --> 01:01:53,200
Speaker 1: want that because if he did, it would require that

997
01:01:53,320 --> 01:01:56,600
Speaker 1: his people would have a level of freedom that if

998
01:01:56,640 --> 01:01:59,439
Speaker 1: they looked around and said, wait a second, the rest

999
01:01:59,440 --> 01:02:01,360
Speaker 1: of the world living like this and we're stuck here

1000
01:02:01,360 --> 01:02:04,400
Speaker 1: in North Korea, you know, he would he wouldn't last

1001
01:02:04,480 --> 01:02:09,320
Speaker 1: a day. So, like that's Trump's pitch, which is what

1002
01:02:09,360 --> 01:02:11,400
Speaker 1: he is said from the beginning, is that he wants

1003
01:02:11,440 --> 01:02:15,000
Speaker 1: to He believes that he can entice you can bring

1004
01:02:15,000 --> 01:02:18,320
Speaker 1: this guy in from the cold by like saying, hey,

1005
01:02:18,400 --> 01:02:21,480
Speaker 1: you know, we can turn your country into like, you know, uh,

1006
01:02:21,560 --> 01:02:25,120
Speaker 1: you know, an economic tiger. And that I don't think.

1007
01:02:25,160 --> 01:02:27,200
Speaker 1: I think at a certain level like maybe that he's

1008
01:02:27,240 --> 01:02:29,360
Speaker 1: just it's a con job on everybody else. And know

1009
01:02:29,400 --> 01:02:32,000
Speaker 1: what he's really trying to do is just keep Kim

1010
01:02:32,080 --> 01:02:35,000
Speaker 1: Jong un from testing missiles and stuff like that. But

1011
01:02:35,000 --> 01:02:36,439
Speaker 1: if we were to take him at his word, which

1012
01:02:36,440 --> 01:02:39,360
Speaker 1: I don't think we necessarily should. It just doesn't make

1013
01:02:39,360 --> 01:02:42,560
Speaker 1: any sense because in order for North Korea to be

1014
01:02:42,640 --> 01:02:44,960
Speaker 1: like South Korea, which is a normal country with a

1015
01:02:45,080 --> 01:02:48,440
Speaker 1: booming economy, you'd have to allow the citizens to have

1016
01:02:48,480 --> 01:02:50,840
Speaker 1: a level of freedom, but they haven't had since the

1017
01:02:50,880 --> 01:02:55,320
Speaker 1: forties or even before. And so that I actually went

1018
01:02:55,360 --> 01:02:58,280
Speaker 1: to North Korea once many years ago with Madeline Albright

1019
01:02:58,320 --> 01:03:00,400
Speaker 1: when I covered the State Department for you, p I,

1020
01:03:01,280 --> 01:03:05,640
Speaker 1: and it is, um it's really it's totalitarian state. It's

1021
01:03:05,720 --> 01:03:07,920
Speaker 1: it's it would it's what I would imagine was like

1022
01:03:08,560 --> 01:03:14,080
Speaker 1: living under Joseph Stalin. And that is something that is

1023
01:03:14,200 --> 01:03:18,840
Speaker 1: only going to change when you know the dictator is

1024
01:03:18,880 --> 01:03:22,880
Speaker 1: gone and his henchmen are gone. Um. So, the idea

1025
01:03:22,880 --> 01:03:24,840
Speaker 1: that you're gonna get him to reform it's something like

1026
01:03:24,880 --> 01:03:27,000
Speaker 1: that has never happened. He's gonna cling to power and

1027
01:03:27,000 --> 01:03:28,760
Speaker 1: he's also going to cling to his nuclear weapons at

1028
01:03:28,760 --> 01:03:31,560
Speaker 1: the end of the day, because that's his insurance policy.

1029
01:03:32,000 --> 01:03:36,560
Speaker 1: If he can't blow up Tokyo and Soul and threatened

1030
01:03:36,520 --> 01:03:40,400
Speaker 1: the United States, then you know that there's no reason

1031
01:03:40,400 --> 01:03:43,120
Speaker 1: why there's there's like a list of reasons why. You know,

1032
01:03:43,160 --> 01:03:46,600
Speaker 1: you North Korea's neighbors would want to get rid of it.

1033
01:03:47,640 --> 01:03:49,840
Speaker 1: So I think what he's really trying to do is

1034
01:03:49,880 --> 01:03:51,920
Speaker 1: just keep a lid on the situation. But that's just

1035
01:03:52,040 --> 01:03:54,200
Speaker 1: kicking the can down the road. And it basically means

1036
01:03:54,200 --> 01:03:56,360
Speaker 1: that North Korean's will be able to create a crisis,

1037
01:03:56,400 --> 01:03:59,240
Speaker 1: you know, whenever they want, probably with Trump again, but

1038
01:03:59,360 --> 01:04:01,080
Speaker 1: for now, what will say is, it's been a year

1039
01:04:01,120 --> 01:04:03,320
Speaker 1: and there haven't been any missile tests or nuclear tests,

1040
01:04:03,320 --> 01:04:05,400
Speaker 1: and isn't that good? And then and then when he

1041
01:04:05,440 --> 01:04:08,000
Speaker 1: says we've solved the nuclear issue, which he did last year,

1042
01:04:08,080 --> 01:04:12,640
Speaker 1: that's just totally bullshit. No, he's still he hasn't gotten

1043
01:04:12,720 --> 01:04:15,880
Speaker 1: rid of his facilities. And then and according to U. S.

1044
01:04:15,880 --> 01:04:20,680
Speaker 1: Intelligence officials who's testified for Congress, he's continuing to perfect

1045
01:04:20,760 --> 01:04:23,080
Speaker 1: these systems. So what are you gonna do? I mean,

1046
01:04:23,080 --> 01:04:25,880
Speaker 1: it's not where we haven't seen much give on that.

1047
01:04:26,000 --> 01:04:29,000
Speaker 1: And and I think that you know, the sanctions are

1048
01:04:29,000 --> 01:04:31,960
Speaker 1: beginning to erode against North Korea, which is to be

1049
01:04:32,080 --> 01:04:35,640
Speaker 1: expected at this point, and so it's possible you could

1050
01:04:35,680 --> 01:04:40,280
Speaker 1: see another declaration that tries to soften the relationship between

1051
01:04:40,320 --> 01:04:43,640
Speaker 1: North and South Korea, because they still don't have normal relations.

1052
01:04:43,680 --> 01:04:46,040
Speaker 1: It's still an armistice from the Korean War from the

1053
01:04:46,080 --> 01:04:49,880
Speaker 1: ninet fifties. But again, I mean, the problem is Kim jongoon.

1054
01:04:50,000 --> 01:04:52,160
Speaker 1: And if you think that he's going to reform because

1055
01:04:52,160 --> 01:04:54,840
Speaker 1: he's going to realize, Wow, it's it's not good being

1056
01:04:54,840 --> 01:04:59,080
Speaker 1: a terrible dictator. Uh, that's just not gonna happen. Uh.

1057
01:04:59,120 --> 01:05:04,200
Speaker 1: We got burned, we got fucking Shultz, we got uh

1058
01:05:04,240 --> 01:05:09,560
Speaker 1: Elizabeth Warren, Pamela uh, and all these other flunkey's running

1059
01:05:09,760 --> 01:05:15,360
Speaker 1: for president. Um. I am concerned that collectively they're gonna

1060
01:05:15,360 --> 01:05:18,280
Speaker 1: wind up getting in the way of each other. Um.

1061
01:05:18,920 --> 01:05:23,280
Speaker 1: And I just don't know if anybody could beat compete Trump.

1062
01:05:23,920 --> 01:05:26,919
Speaker 1: I don't know if anyone could beat them. I mean, obviously, uh,

1063
01:05:27,200 --> 01:05:29,840
Speaker 1: nobody knows you're not a fortune teller. But out of

1064
01:05:29,880 --> 01:05:33,760
Speaker 1: that batch crying Corey Booker, which uh you know, I'm

1065
01:05:33,800 --> 01:05:36,640
Speaker 1: sure Trump will will will steal that nickname at some

1066
01:05:36,720 --> 01:05:39,800
Speaker 1: point from me. But but I mean, who do you

1067
01:05:39,840 --> 01:05:42,240
Speaker 1: think is going to be the person that winds up

1068
01:05:42,240 --> 01:05:47,040
Speaker 1: going uh Mano Imano with the the inevitable Dick Stain. Well,

1069
01:05:47,080 --> 01:05:50,400
Speaker 1: it's too soon to tell. There's one positive spin on

1070
01:05:50,480 --> 01:05:53,760
Speaker 1: having all these candidates, which is that whoever emerges from

1071
01:05:53,760 --> 01:05:59,280
Speaker 1: the scrum will be better prepared. The negative side is

1072
01:05:59,320 --> 01:06:02,760
Speaker 1: that the party itself like so to appeal to Democratic

1073
01:06:02,800 --> 01:06:06,880
Speaker 1: Party primary voters, you have to go in a direction

1074
01:06:07,520 --> 01:06:08,960
Speaker 1: that a lot of the rest of the country is

1075
01:06:08,960 --> 01:06:12,320
Speaker 1: going to feel uncomfortable with. But then again, you know,

1076
01:06:12,440 --> 01:06:15,480
Speaker 1: Trump is kind of like, I mean, do you I

1077
01:06:15,480 --> 01:06:19,560
Speaker 1: I think that Trump is beatable in because you could

1078
01:06:19,600 --> 01:06:21,120
Speaker 1: just sort of say, look at him. You know, he's

1079
01:06:21,240 --> 01:06:23,440
Speaker 1: he's he's not. He hasn't been able to really deliver

1080
01:06:23,520 --> 01:06:28,320
Speaker 1: his big promise of the wall um. He's constantly surrounded

1081
01:06:28,400 --> 01:06:32,280
Speaker 1: and stalked by scandal. The guy lies all the time.

1082
01:06:33,000 --> 01:06:36,000
Speaker 1: I mean, these are usually weaknesses for politicians, and he

1083
01:06:36,120 --> 01:06:39,520
Speaker 1: got away with being the ship talker Supreme when he

1084
01:06:39,520 --> 01:06:42,000
Speaker 1: didn't have a record anybody could really measure because he

1085
01:06:42,040 --> 01:06:44,640
Speaker 1: wasn't in politics, so he was able to say I'm

1086
01:06:44,680 --> 01:06:46,920
Speaker 1: against all this crap. I'm gonna change it and chack

1087
01:06:47,000 --> 01:06:49,400
Speaker 1: it up. If you're president for four years, you have

1088
01:06:49,480 --> 01:06:51,320
Speaker 1: to run in some ways on your record. You can't

1089
01:06:51,320 --> 01:06:53,600
Speaker 1: just say and I mean, he's gonna try to say

1090
01:06:53,600 --> 01:06:56,600
Speaker 1: I'm running against the deep state, but you know that's

1091
01:06:56,600 --> 01:06:58,000
Speaker 1: not I don't think that people are gonna buy that.

1092
01:06:58,080 --> 01:07:01,560
Speaker 1: So so there he should be beat of the problem

1093
01:07:01,600 --> 01:07:03,840
Speaker 1: is is that are the Democrats in a moment like

1094
01:07:03,880 --> 01:07:06,320
Speaker 1: in nineteen seventy two, the year I was born, I

1095
01:07:06,320 --> 01:07:08,120
Speaker 1: think you were went three or four years old, right,

1096
01:07:09,440 --> 01:07:11,600
Speaker 1: you were two? Okay, So in nineteen seventy two, the

1097
01:07:11,640 --> 01:07:16,560
Speaker 1: Democrats going up against Nixon could have nominated someone like

1098
01:07:16,640 --> 01:07:19,960
Speaker 1: Scoop Jackson, who was in a pretty moderate Democrat who was,

1099
01:07:20,160 --> 01:07:22,720
Speaker 1: you know, tough on Soviets and stuff like that. But

1100
01:07:22,800 --> 01:07:24,520
Speaker 1: they went in the end of the day with George

1101
01:07:24,560 --> 01:07:27,960
Speaker 1: McGovern who was you know, the the tagline against him

1102
01:07:27,960 --> 01:07:32,280
Speaker 1: famously was McGovern is I think his acid abortion and

1103
01:07:32,360 --> 01:07:34,080
Speaker 1: like anarchy or something like that. But it was the

1104
01:07:34,120 --> 01:07:37,920
Speaker 1: idea was that they went so far left that you know,

1105
01:07:37,960 --> 01:07:41,440
Speaker 1: the Nixon would should have been beatable, but it was

1106
01:07:41,480 --> 01:07:43,560
Speaker 1: the contrast that they wanted, and Nixon was able to

1107
01:07:43,640 --> 01:07:45,560
Speaker 1: run on this idea of law and order when the

1108
01:07:45,600 --> 01:07:47,840
Speaker 1: country was coming apart, and he won again in nineteen

1109
01:07:47,840 --> 01:07:50,560
Speaker 1: seventy two. You know, with a little help of the

1110
01:07:50,600 --> 01:07:54,720
Speaker 1: Watergate burglars, you could argue, so in this case, is

1111
01:07:54,800 --> 01:07:59,000
Speaker 1: Trump going to have the benefit of the Democrats kind

1112
01:07:59,000 --> 01:08:02,000
Speaker 1: of nominated somebody who is not going to appeal to

1113
01:08:02,000 --> 01:08:03,919
Speaker 1: the rest of the country like they did in seventy two.

1114
01:08:03,920 --> 01:08:06,720
Speaker 1: And that's the big question. And you know, we'll see

1115
01:08:06,760 --> 01:08:10,320
Speaker 1: because so far, the mood seems to be that everybody

1116
01:08:10,400 --> 01:08:12,240
Speaker 1: is trying to get to each other's left, which is

1117
01:08:12,280 --> 01:08:15,000
Speaker 1: why it's important that Howard Schultz, who should have run

1118
01:08:15,080 --> 01:08:18,000
Speaker 1: as a Democrat you'd think, is running as an independent.

1119
01:08:18,000 --> 01:08:20,280
Speaker 1: He's not even going for that party's nomination. He says

1120
01:08:20,800 --> 01:08:23,280
Speaker 1: they're too far out there. So we'll see how it

1121
01:08:23,320 --> 01:08:26,559
Speaker 1: plays out. But again it's we're a long way away

1122
01:08:26,600 --> 01:08:30,559
Speaker 1: from that, and I would expect all away. I mean,

1123
01:08:30,600 --> 01:08:33,439
Speaker 1: it's coming up. It is, You're right, it's coming up.

1124
01:08:33,479 --> 01:08:35,400
Speaker 1: I'm saying in the sense that like there's gonna be

1125
01:08:35,479 --> 01:08:39,519
Speaker 1: more scandal coming. It's not just the Mother report, it's

1126
01:08:39,520 --> 01:08:41,880
Speaker 1: the Southern District of New York is like on his

1127
01:08:41,880 --> 01:08:44,280
Speaker 1: his on Michael Cohen, his lawyer, and they got to

1128
01:08:44,280 --> 01:08:47,559
Speaker 1: think about like this, like they got Cohen is a lawyer, right,

1129
01:08:48,680 --> 01:08:50,640
Speaker 1: John Dowd was one of his first lawyers. Spent like

1130
01:08:50,800 --> 01:08:53,560
Speaker 1: there was a story like eighty hours with like the prosecutor.

1131
01:08:54,000 --> 01:08:56,240
Speaker 1: It's kind of extraordinary. So I think that Trump does

1132
01:08:56,320 --> 01:08:59,040
Speaker 1: have a lot of vulnerabilities here. That's all I'm saying.

1133
01:08:59,360 --> 01:09:01,920
Speaker 1: All right, why I appreciate it. I appreciate the time,

1134

Speaker 1: Lake for rocking with me once again. Um. The final

1141
01:09:30,439 --> 01:09:35,880
Speaker 1: thing that I heard is that you know the Lady

1142
01:09:36,000 --> 01:09:39,680
Speaker 1: Ganga Bradley Cooper song from A Star is Born. I

1143
01:09:39,680 --> 01:09:43,599
Speaker 1: think it's called Shallow. It's called shallow, and it starts off.

1144
01:09:43,960 --> 01:09:48,080
Speaker 1: I'll try to sing it. Tell me something, boy, da

1145
01:09:48,240 --> 01:09:50,439

1146
01:09:50,479 --> 01:09:53,800
Speaker 1: Bradley Cooper's character comes in says, tell me something girl.

1147
01:09:54,160 --> 01:10:02,360
Speaker 1: People are offended that they used gender specific terms. This

1148
01:10:02,400 --> 01:10:04,919
Speaker 1: is the world that we're living in now. People were

1149
01:10:05,040 --> 01:10:10,400
Speaker 1: upset that, uh, Bradley Cooper, Lady Gaga wrote this song

1150
01:10:10,439 --> 01:10:15,160
Speaker 1: with gender specific terms. I don't know when it's gonna stop,

1151
01:10:15,680 --> 01:10:18,880
Speaker 1: how it's gonna stop. Why you get offended by things?

1152
01:10:19,320 --> 01:10:21,679
Speaker 1: Why you you just look to find anything to get

1153
01:10:21,680 --> 01:10:26,000
Speaker 1: offended by. But US Airlines is also set to allow

1154
