No, my audience is, uh, 0:04:16.200 --> 0:04:19.359 I have a couple. I've been married twent twent in 0:04:19.520 --> 0:04:22.840 three years. I tend to attract people who have a 0:04:22.839 --> 0:04:27.680 little invested time together. So that's that's usually. I don't 0:04:27.680 --> 0:04:31.080 I don't get the pot if some potholes out there. 0:04:31.400 --> 0:04:33.920 It is, yeah, it always is, But I don't get 0:04:34.240 --> 0:04:36.880 I get them coming together most of the time. And 0:04:36.960 --> 0:04:39.640 you don't have too much ruggets at your shoves, not 0:04:40.160 --> 0:04:43.600 a lot. Every once and then they're like, oh this 0:04:43.680 --> 0:04:45.200 is something, this is this is this is a little 0:04:45.200 --> 0:04:47.760 different you got. I'm a storytell I'm from the classic. 0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:51.040 I'm a classic stand up. Ain't ain't uh this generation? 0:04:51.040 --> 0:05:00.040 I'm generation. Yeah, I'm staying. Mike stays. Yeah, So you 0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:03.320 gotta stay you know, in the way, see what you 0:05:03.360 --> 0:05:05.839 don't stay right now? So is that you gotta say 0:05:05.839 --> 0:05:10.280 you gotta stay connected. It's a connection. Yeah, in your opinion, 0:05:10.800 --> 0:05:16.920 who is the greatest comedian of all times. Wow, I 0:05:17.040 --> 0:05:20.839 see that's a that's a loaded question. The bro the 0:05:20.880 --> 0:05:27.280 greatest comedian all time, and my book is Richard. Go ahead, Okay, 0:05:29.880 --> 0:05:34.880 I don't know because comedy is subjective, so you can't 0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:37.160 you can't say one person was the greatest about that. 0:05:37.240 --> 0:05:41.640 He was the most controversial, the most uh talking about 0:05:41.680 --> 0:05:45.800 the most historical value whatever. Richard got all that. But 0:05:48.440 --> 0:05:54.160 I think dying. Yeah, he's the bar of especially even 0:05:54.760 --> 0:05:57.320 and the girls pross color lines too. He's just the bob. 0:05:57.440 --> 0:05:59.479 But that's what a comedian po to do. But because 0:05:59.520 --> 0:06:01.320 he was dead and that this time, everybody else stick 0:06:01.360 --> 0:06:03.479 to a formula, and Richard came along and told you 0:06:03.480 --> 0:06:06.599 about his life and he was actually living that life. 0:06:06.600 --> 0:06:10.159 So you've seen folks. So he came with a different style. 0:06:10.160 --> 0:06:12.360 So I think anytime you come with a different style, 0:06:12.800 --> 0:06:17.320 people naturally gravitate to that style and then you have 0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:21.800 a lot of what it's called cloning. H Well, who 0:06:21.839 --> 0:06:25.839 is your favorite comedian all time? My favorite comedian of 0:06:25.960 --> 0:06:33.920 all time is probably I got Richard is one of them. Uh, 0:06:34.440 --> 0:06:38.279 George Calling is one of them. I like Gallagher too. 0:06:38.520 --> 0:06:42.560 It's pretty weird that the Wilder Malon. Guy, that's a laye. 0:06:42.640 --> 0:06:46.279 That's what comedists ject. Whoever on bust Water. I like, 0:06:46.480 --> 0:06:51.640 uh Da Chappelle's is great, Chris Rock is great. So 0:06:51.680 --> 0:06:55.400 it's just like we we have targument about uh basketball 0:06:55.440 --> 0:06:59.279 players or football eras. It's just it's just eras of 0:06:59.279 --> 0:07:02.680 of what we call greatness and and in communists that 0:07:02.720 --> 0:07:04.520 what I say subjected. So I don't I don't think 0:07:04.520 --> 0:07:06.279 I have a who I think the greatest all the 0:07:06.279 --> 0:07:09.120 time and who I think? Uh. I like to look 0:07:09.120 --> 0:07:13.120 at it like boxing raps, like top five, Yeah, you 0:07:13.160 --> 0:07:20.920 have a top five mount rushmo. Yeah. So Richard Eddie 0:07:21.880 --> 0:07:23.880 Edie first come out in leather and then they're like, 0:07:23.880 --> 0:07:25.680 oh you know what made when you got that leather on? 0:07:25.920 --> 0:07:29.480 So Eddie was a different beast and he and he 0:07:29.520 --> 0:07:33.000 didn't even get to develop all that because movies and 0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:35.480 everything he took him away. Yeah, but that man was 0:07:35.520 --> 0:07:38.600 walking around them, how the leather types. I'm mad for that. 0:07:39.400 --> 0:07:41.840 But we're good. We all right, we alright, well we're 0:07:41.880 --> 0:07:44.480 good and nobody never, nobody has never seen that before, 0:07:44.480 --> 0:07:48.760 like what is this? And then so Eddie too, Uh 0:07:48.840 --> 0:07:52.320 we got Colling on there and we got Bill Cobby 0:07:52.360 --> 0:07:57.320 on that out Bill Cobby. Outside of what Bill I'm 0:07:57.320 --> 0:07:59.960 talking about, he clif hostable I'm talking about. I'm talking about, 0:08:00.160 --> 0:08:02.920 Uh Bill Cosby himself stand up. Just go back and 0:08:02.920 --> 0:08:06.320 watch Billcocks himself talking about his family. Different. He had 0:08:06.320 --> 0:08:10.680 a different style. So it's he's on the matter regards 0:08:10.720 --> 0:08:16.480 of what he did on the back end, all well, 0:08:17.160 --> 0:08:19.440 thank you. And then he was acquitted for that ship 0:08:19.520 --> 0:08:22.520 like we was and the cold have been sealed, so 0:08:22.800 --> 0:08:26.160 that's getting into her nothing. But he wasn't well just 0:08:27.040 --> 0:08:32.160 for uh factuality, he wasn't acquitted. He wasn't acquitted. The 0:08:32.240 --> 0:08:35.000 charges were thrown out. Okay, so yeah, so he was drawing. 0:08:36.440 --> 0:08:41.559 I'm talking strictly comedic talent and opening was the first, 0:08:41.720 --> 0:08:47.040 uh go back to ASPA. He made the stunt people 0:08:47.040 --> 0:08:49.880 Hollywood to do stunts. So he opened that whole lane 0:08:49.880 --> 0:08:52.800 for people to get work because it went no stunt 0:08:52.840 --> 0:08:56.319 man getting work like that. Bill Cobba did that. So 0:08:56.360 --> 0:08:58.560 Big Big Guy was a great stand up and great 0:08:58.600 --> 0:09:02.160 But I don't know about the stuff, but on and 0:09:02.160 --> 0:09:07.240 and five it is probably yeah, who Uh, I don't 0:09:07.280 --> 0:09:08.679 want I don't want to lead the ladies out. I 0:09:08.720 --> 0:09:11.960 don't want to lead the ladies out. Uh, who I 0:09:12.000 --> 0:09:13.960 think is a great one of the sack is a 0:09:13.960 --> 0:09:17.360 great lady comedian. You know who I think is like 0:09:18.520 --> 0:09:21.440 it is a lot of great ones out there. But 0:09:21.520 --> 0:09:28.120 when I when I bar for bar joke per minute? 0:09:28.480 --> 0:09:34.920 Uh huh Underwood. Oh oh yeah, Now I don't know. 0:09:35.000 --> 0:09:38.920 I don't know the new Share but yeah pocketbook Karen Share. Yeah, 0:09:40.200 --> 0:09:42.199 and she was the first, So I don't know what 0:09:42.360 --> 0:09:48.760 she is now. Black black black. And she was a Republican. Yeah, 0:09:48.840 --> 0:09:50.839 she had she had a whole another thing. Is it 0:09:50.880 --> 0:09:54.160 a problem that she's a Republican? Oh no, no, I'm 0:09:54.160 --> 0:09:58.040 just saying that was a different hook. Uh no, Your 0:09:58.120 --> 0:10:00.400 your affiliation is your affiliation. But you know, you know 0:10:00.480 --> 0:10:03.719 black Volte is like we we were boring into, uh 0:10:03.760 --> 0:10:05.880 the Democratic Party, and then you're like, what you gotta 0:10:05.880 --> 0:10:10.040 figure out what party you were? But you gotta figure 0:10:10.040 --> 0:10:13.920 out man. Yeah, So that that that that I always 0:10:13.920 --> 0:10:16.320 thought you'd be who you be, You're thing you ain't 0:10:16.320 --> 0:10:18.920 gotta you ain't gotta you gotta follow the cattle that 0:10:19.000 --> 0:10:27.080 called all the cats democrats democrats. H Well, I'm independent, 0:10:27.559 --> 0:10:30.719 I mean, but I probably not voted. Mo. Well, I 0:10:30.720 --> 0:10:33.640 ain't gonna get into there. But yeah, thing and and 0:10:33.640 --> 0:10:35.640 and and and will you don't have to agree with 0:10:35.640 --> 0:10:38.079 me on this, man, because we hardly ever agree on ship. 0:10:38.120 --> 0:10:41.480 But I think that this next primary and and and 0:10:41.520 --> 0:10:45.280 the next uh major election we have, I think all 0:10:45.360 --> 0:10:50.040 Democrats hold back their votes and don't vote ship until 0:10:50.080 --> 0:10:53.559 we start seeing something. Stop stop, stop giving your fucking 0:10:53.600 --> 0:10:56.400 votes away, for these clowns are coming there and sitting 0:10:56.520 --> 0:10:59.800 just just just coming for photo option. You know, like 0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:02.600 like I'm sick of that ship. We had a great 0:11:02.720 --> 0:11:06.600 movement with that this last time. Yeah, but we're not 0:11:06.640 --> 0:11:09.000 getting nothing. But no, no, this is what I'm saying. 0:11:09.320 --> 0:11:12.559 We had a great we had a strong movement. I 0:11:12.720 --> 0:11:15.680 was saying, I'm gonna hold my vote, hold my vote, 0:11:15.720 --> 0:11:17.800 hold my vote. Even me, I was on some hold 0:11:17.800 --> 0:11:20.240 my vote until like the last month in two and 0:11:20.280 --> 0:11:25.079 I was like, I'm tired of looking at Donald Trump, 0:11:25.280 --> 0:11:28.839 ugly ass face. I'm tired of here in his mouth. 0:11:29.120 --> 0:11:30.920 So I just wanted him to be done with him. 0:11:31.040 --> 0:11:33.680 And I knew I didn't. I didn't expect much from 0:11:33.720 --> 0:11:36.600 from Biden. I'm straight up, I didn't expect much from him, 0:11:36.640 --> 0:11:39.040 but I just felt like, man, we across that bridge 0:11:39.080 --> 0:11:41.280 when we get that, and we have and we are there. 0:11:41.640 --> 0:11:44.439 And I'm gonna tell you, I feel exactly like you feel, Bro. 0:11:45.000 --> 0:11:47.800 I feel like we have to hold that vote. Otherwise, 0:11:48.240 --> 0:11:50.960 what is the incentive for them to do right by us? Nothing? 0:11:51.120 --> 0:11:54.360 They have none. And I know that's hard for somebody, 0:11:54.440 --> 0:11:56.480 some people out there to even found him, but man, 0:11:56.520 --> 0:12:00.000 we really do we We ain't getting nothing, man, these people. 0:12:00.600 --> 0:12:02.840 I mean, if not for the black vote, then the 0:12:02.880 --> 0:12:06.160 Democrats don't win. So they win and they get in 0:12:06.360 --> 0:12:09.240 and what do they do spit in our face with 0:12:09.480 --> 0:12:13.440 this Asian hate? Bill, Man, I ain't got nothing against 0:12:13.520 --> 0:12:18.240 Asian people, Bro. Everybody should everybody should be protected. But 0:12:18.320 --> 0:12:21.240 we have been the least protected, bro in this country. 0:12:21.240 --> 0:12:24.439 And we've given more to this country than any other 0:12:24.720 --> 0:12:28.240 race of people period, including white people. Black people built 0:12:28.280 --> 0:12:32.160 this country. Nobody else built this country. We built this country. 0:12:32.240 --> 0:12:35.560 So we deserve just as much, if not more, prosperity 0:12:35.640 --> 0:12:40.600 than anybody. I agree with you on on on that, 0:12:40.640 --> 0:12:44.200 will Uh. I don't agree with the the whole year 0:12:44.320 --> 0:12:50.240 vote because it's is you still gotta have somebody, somebody 0:12:50.280 --> 0:12:53.320 in the room who who at least you feel has 0:12:53.400 --> 0:12:56.160 your interests until you get your interests met, So you 0:12:56.240 --> 0:12:59.439 still have if we know, we know once that maybe 0:12:59.440 --> 0:13:03.360 ain't got none of your interests in in mind. You 0:13:03.360 --> 0:13:07.480 you have seen something you have The Republicans probably have 0:13:07.600 --> 0:13:10.040 more of your interests in mind than you think. But 0:13:10.400 --> 0:13:14.160 I don't disagree with that. But I'm saying resulting the 0:13:14.200 --> 0:13:17.480 proof is in the pudding. So if if if your life, 0:13:17.520 --> 0:13:20.840 I always say politics is your life, your personal life 0:13:20.840 --> 0:13:24.000 has to change with God's who in office. If your 0:13:24.040 --> 0:13:28.200 life don't change, it's still you still gotta do what 0:13:28.360 --> 0:13:31.160 you gotta do. You can never just look to politicians 0:13:31.640 --> 0:13:35.160 to change your life. Regardless of who in office, you 0:13:35.320 --> 0:13:38.960 still gotta get up very moaning whatever your uh profession, 0:13:39.040 --> 0:13:41.480 hustle deal, whatever you got, the you got the move 0:13:41.559 --> 0:13:44.440 that needle on your own, and then you wouldn't be 0:13:45.120 --> 0:13:48.800 Reilly against the system as much. You know, you know 0:13:48.880 --> 0:13:52.679 it's systematic things in place to keep us down on 0:13:52.800 --> 0:13:55.640 black people down, or Asian down or what I mean. 0:13:56.440 --> 0:13:58.360 We had a rock I mean in office, we did. 0:13:58.440 --> 0:14:00.520 We did, and we say, okay, we'll approached racial world, 0:14:00.559 --> 0:14:03.040 but we we're never gonna be po racist. So we 0:14:03.040 --> 0:14:06.240 we're dealing with the race thing period, each and every 0:14:06.320 --> 0:14:10.559 day and now we they're listening. But it's progress. It 0:14:10.640 --> 0:14:15.080 is a slow they some someone listening. They're listening. In 0:14:15.160 --> 0:14:20.720 my company, I tract white people, black people, Asian people, 0:14:21.200 --> 0:14:24.320 So I had to make all this like like I 0:14:24.360 --> 0:14:28.080 started comedy with with black people, Urban all the way. 0:14:28.240 --> 0:14:31.520 Then I groot audience, did a show called that Come 0:14:31.560 --> 0:14:38.800 Standing now as America Season Nate That Come Standing. So no, no, 0:14:38.840 --> 0:14:41.520 it's just it just introduced your your voice, your comedy 0:14:41.560 --> 0:14:43.920 to a bigger audience. But what I have found in 0:14:43.960 --> 0:14:49.440 that journey too, everybody has agreements, everybody has something that 0:14:49.520 --> 0:14:54.320 they and whoever we you rap, rampumps, you got a voice, 0:14:54.360 --> 0:14:56.240 You got a voice, I got a voice. So is 0:14:56.320 --> 0:15:00.160 how we use our voice to motivate r P well 0:15:00.240 --> 0:15:02.640 the people who because you can be a messenger the 0:15:02.680 --> 0:15:04.840 people I can't reach. You can be a message to 0:15:04.880 --> 0:15:07.720 people I can't reach. So we're all a different messenges. 0:15:07.840 --> 0:15:12.600 We just we want the same thing. We won't fair, quality, equality, 0:15:12.760 --> 0:15:15.280 we won't. We want to empowerment, we won't take you 0:15:15.320 --> 0:15:17.360 off and want to raise our kids, want kids to 0:15:17.520 --> 0:15:21.400 have a better all those things, all those things. We 0:15:21.480 --> 0:15:23.880 all want the same thing, but we can never get it. 0:15:24.760 --> 0:15:26.360 You can get it. You can get it with force. 0:15:26.480 --> 0:15:28.880 But you still gotta have a voice in the room 0:15:29.280 --> 0:15:32.760 who has your best and that and that's what we're saying. 0:15:32.800 --> 0:15:35.080 We don't have a voice in the room that has 0:15:35.120 --> 0:15:38.120 our best. But but we're going to buy a face 0:15:38.320 --> 0:15:41.880 because we was just gonna go buy the face. About faces, 0:15:42.080 --> 0:15:47.680 it's about party, it's about whoever. I think it's a person, 0:15:48.320 --> 0:15:51.960 the face, the face is not being represented properly. I 0:15:52.800 --> 0:15:57.160 agree with you, anyone the Democrat, let me say this something. 0:15:57.160 --> 0:16:00.440 I'm gonna be done with it. The Democrats, white, black, 0:16:00.880 --> 0:16:03.360 you know exactly what the problem is with with us. 0:16:04.240 --> 0:16:07.400 And they're not saying ship. They're not doing ship, and 0:16:07.560 --> 0:16:11.120 they don't deserve my vote. Period. I take my chances 0:16:11.160 --> 0:16:14.480 with a Republican. No, I take my chance with none 0:16:14.520 --> 0:16:18.960 of their asses. I'm not I wouldn't give it away 0:16:19.000 --> 0:16:24.520 to any one of them. It's like we listen when 0:16:24.560 --> 0:16:27.840 you talk to if you don't vote, you say, if 0:16:27.880 --> 0:16:30.080 you don't vote, we gave it away. So if you 0:16:30.080 --> 0:16:32.160 give it so, if you so, if you give it 0:16:32.200 --> 0:16:33.840 to somebody who don't do ship for you didn't you 0:16:33.840 --> 0:16:36.120 didn't give it away. I feel, you know what the 0:16:36.640 --> 0:16:40.600 they don't do ship for us. They don't do ship 0:16:40.680 --> 0:16:44.560 with us in mind at all, at least at least 0:16:47.160 --> 0:16:53.480 a Republican cut of taxes. Depending on what your bracket is, 0:16:57.080 --> 0:17:00.560 you do. But the majority of black people die. Okay, 0:17:00.840 --> 0:17:04.280 and wena have you gotta have somebody that like you 0:17:04.320 --> 0:17:08.280 got you you considered successful, so you gotta have somebody 0:17:08.720 --> 0:17:11.800 to be successful for other kids and coming along to 0:17:11.840 --> 0:17:14.480 be able to emulate. That said, you've got certain principles 0:17:14.520 --> 0:17:17.080 that these are some principles to success. So if you 0:17:17.080 --> 0:17:19.920 can go back and tdse kids the next generate, these 0:17:19.920 --> 0:17:21.920 are some principles young man, young lady that you can 0:17:21.920 --> 0:17:24.680 you to better your life. Don't don't worry about what's 0:17:24.680 --> 0:17:28.000 going on over there. This and knowing, knowing where you 0:17:28.040 --> 0:17:30.240 come from. You, I'm sure you got gang of people 0:17:30.440 --> 0:17:33.160 in my family. I first want to do comma, any 0:17:33.240 --> 0:17:36.640 kind of entertainment. Now, I got rappers, I got book writers, 0:17:36.640 --> 0:17:41.520 I got shelves, I got all kinds of different artistic expression. 0:17:41.560 --> 0:17:45.000 People had locked up because they've seen one person do it. 0:17:45.440 --> 0:17:51.439 So even if we we progress is always slow. So 0:17:49.560 --> 0:17:58.760 it was progress. Progress is not always slow. Progress. Progress 0:17:59.280 --> 0:18:04.359 Uh happens overnight when those who are in power wanted 0:18:04.440 --> 0:18:06.800 to happen overnight, when they wanted to happen immediately. It 0:18:06.800 --> 0:18:10.600 happens to media when it comes when it comes to us, 0:18:11.080 --> 0:18:13.440 when when when it comes to us, They're always talking 0:18:13.440 --> 0:18:17.600 about progress as progress is slow, progress is slow. No 0:18:17.720 --> 0:18:20.480 no no no no no no no no no no 0:18:20.480 --> 0:18:25.480 no no no no no no. Uh if if somebody 0:18:25.880 --> 0:18:29.320 was let's say, somebody put their hands on your sister, 0:18:29.440 --> 0:18:33.320 your mama, Uh, it's progress slow. When when you when 0:18:33.320 --> 0:18:35.439 you hold on, when you get ready to get at 0:18:35.480 --> 0:18:37.879 their ass, is that probably are you're gonna be like 0:18:38.000 --> 0:18:39.800 when you know, I can't do it right now. Man, 0:18:39.840 --> 0:18:42.080 I can't get at you right now because because because 0:18:42.119 --> 0:18:44.760 progress is slow, uh, you know it's gonna be slow. 0:18:44.800 --> 0:18:47.760 So I'm I'm gonna wait for about five years and 0:18:48.040 --> 0:18:50.840 then I come see you. Okay, but see, but that's 0:18:50.840 --> 0:18:53.520 still I'm probably gonna respond because I was gonna be 0:18:53.560 --> 0:18:57.040 an emotional decision because I'm passionate most of the decisions 0:18:57.240 --> 0:18:59.560 right now, but I'm gonna be passionate about my mama 0:18:59.720 --> 0:19:03.040 and sisters. So until we find a person who about 0:19:03.080 --> 0:19:06.800 the black people are passionate about getting that progress, we 0:19:06.800 --> 0:19:09.320 we we we can't I always say, we're energy, we're 0:19:09.320 --> 0:19:11.840 trained for any so we all know what we need. 0:19:12.880 --> 0:19:15.600 You you could speak what I'm saying. I'm passionate about 0:19:15.640 --> 0:19:19.199 more people, right, So I'm not. I'm not. I'm not 0:19:19.320 --> 0:19:22.720 mad at any other people. I love everybody. But the 0:19:22.840 --> 0:19:26.760 further the older I get, and the further we come 0:19:26.800 --> 0:19:29.119 along in this country that we live in, man, I 0:19:29.200 --> 0:19:33.160 realized how far we are behind everybody else. Well, y'all 0:19:33.200 --> 0:19:35.119 you know we we we we gave you all ence, 0:19:35.160 --> 0:19:38.120 and we gave you'll give me all my ship, give 0:19:38.200 --> 0:19:40.719 me all my ship at one time when the fun 0:19:40.880 --> 0:19:44.000 is you spoon feeding me. I get that. I deal 0:19:44.040 --> 0:19:47.680 with that. This's and doing in entertainment. We all deal 0:19:47.760 --> 0:19:51.560 with that. Like worth you're talking about is different. Yeah, 0:19:51.600 --> 0:19:53.960 he's talk about worth, he's talk about work. You mentioned 0:19:54.000 --> 0:19:57.159 you mentioned earlier about you know how you grew your 0:19:57.200 --> 0:20:00.080 audience and now you have a mixed audience, right, you 0:20:00.119 --> 0:20:02.679 know you have a lot of white fans. But what 0:20:02.840 --> 0:20:05.199 we do too, we have a we have a we 0:20:05.280 --> 0:20:08.280 have a large a large portion of our fan base 0:20:08.400 --> 0:20:14.480 is white. But that don't stop us from expressing ourselves 0:20:14.600 --> 0:20:17.000 and ride and speaking on the truth and what's going 0:20:17.040 --> 0:20:19.399 on and and the fans that are real fans. And 0:20:19.440 --> 0:20:21.680 we got some fair weather fans who who are out 0:20:21.720 --> 0:20:24.240 there just like everybody else. They just fans of the music. 0:20:24.280 --> 0:20:26.760 They like the music, they stick to the music. Shut up, 0:20:26.960 --> 0:20:29.080 shut up, and wrap. You know, we got those types. 0:20:29.320 --> 0:20:32.000 But but but the fans that we funk with for real, 0:20:32.680 --> 0:20:37.240 they understand, they understand what's happening, and they support what 0:20:37.280 --> 0:20:40.399 we said, what we got to say. Now, we're never 0:20:40.480 --> 0:20:43.880 gonna get to a point to where where we are 0:20:43.920 --> 0:20:46.800 going to be silent so a fan can be comfortable. 0:20:47.080 --> 0:20:49.160 You know, We're not gonna be I I'm never gonna 0:20:49.240 --> 0:20:54.919 be silent about you know, uh, somebody doing wrong to me, 0:20:55.240 --> 0:20:57.640 a wrong in my people. And I'm gonna be silent 0:20:57.720 --> 0:21:00.720 just because I got some fans over here that's buying 0:21:00.720 --> 0:21:02.800 my records that don't look like me. You know what 0:21:02.800 --> 0:21:04.920 I'm saying. I'm never gonna be like. I'm never gonna 0:21:04.920 --> 0:21:06.840 be a dude. Well, I got white fans to what 0:21:07.040 --> 0:21:11.080 Republicans buy my records too. So you said I never, 0:21:11.160 --> 0:21:17.720 I never, I never, I never, I'll never, I'll never. 0:21:18.200 --> 0:21:22.840 I'll never compromise my integrity. You know, I'll never compromise 0:21:22.960 --> 0:21:28.280 my manhood to to to to appease someone who is 0:21:28.680 --> 0:21:34.679 uh anybody, especially somebody, but especially somebody who uh is 0:21:34.680 --> 0:21:38.800 insensitive to pain and struggle and and and people being 0:21:38.840 --> 0:21:45.000 done wrong. See, we got that's a white kid by 0:21:45.000 --> 0:21:46.879 the name a Hunt of Britain who was who was 0:21:46.960 --> 0:21:55.639 murdered recently in Arkansas and um by the police. The 0:21:55.680 --> 0:21:58.760 police gonna dude down. The dude had an issue with 0:21:58.800 --> 0:22:02.119 his truck. He get of his truck. Uh, he had 0:22:02.160 --> 0:22:03.960 a transmission issue with his truck. And he has some 0:22:04.000 --> 0:22:07.000 anti freeze in the back of the truck and he 0:22:07.640 --> 0:22:10.359 the policeman pulled him over. He get out the truck 0:22:10.560 --> 0:22:15.160 and reach the grat anti freeze. Police gun them down. Now, 0:22:16.480 --> 0:22:20.000 all these times, all these murders with black people getting killed, 0:22:21.800 --> 0:22:24.400 many of these people in this rural community, this rural 0:22:24.520 --> 0:22:30.000 Arkansas community, never spoke out against police brutality, never once 0:22:31.000 --> 0:22:34.040 road for the victim. They were always apologizing for the 0:22:34.119 --> 0:22:37.439 police and being very understanding. They was screaming back the 0:22:37.480 --> 0:22:41.639 blue back, the blue Blue Lives Matter. Were not at 0:22:41.640 --> 0:22:46.679 the white boy get killed. Now, it's justice, justice for hunters, 0:22:47.480 --> 0:22:51.200 justice for hunters. See, people A lot of times oftentimes 0:22:51.800 --> 0:22:56.359 people don't feel anything. They don't feel empathy for other 0:22:56.440 --> 0:22:59.760 human beings until they knock on their door. Um, when 0:22:59.760 --> 0:23:03.560 i'm bullets show up and there family members are their 0:23:03.640 --> 0:23:07.000 loved one's body. Then all of a sudden, oh not 0:23:07.119 --> 0:23:10.000 as person. Now we care you see. But what's gonna 0:23:10.040 --> 0:23:14.960 happen is that they're gonna settle out of court. They're 0:23:14.960 --> 0:23:17.119 gonna write a family big check. More than likely the 0:23:17.160 --> 0:23:19.600 cop ain't gonna go to jail because if he does, 0:23:19.680 --> 0:23:21.639 as a set of presidents, they don't want that to happen. 0:23:21.760 --> 0:23:25.160 So unlikely cop gonna go to jail, and then after 0:23:25.200 --> 0:23:28.359 that it's gonna they're gonna be right back to normal. 0:23:28.560 --> 0:23:31.359 Because we live in the type of society where people 0:23:31.480 --> 0:23:36.400 just don't care about other people. We don't. We don't. 0:23:36.960 --> 0:23:40.440 We don't love our neighbors. We don't love our neighbors children, 0:23:41.320 --> 0:23:45.840 we don't. Well, that's that's getting into uh well we 0:23:46.760 --> 0:23:50.600 that little device right here has changed how society. Hey, 0:23:50.640 --> 0:23:52.840 that's like you used to see something going down. Hey, 0:23:52.920 --> 0:23:55.000 let me, y'all stop that, y'all break that now is 0:23:55.560 --> 0:24:00.160 let me get the footage. So now everything everybody has 0:24:00.240 --> 0:24:06.159 become monetized. Sea. So we were actually living in capitalistic times. 0:24:06.520 --> 0:24:10.399 So if I can capitalize, not me personally, but people 0:24:10.600 --> 0:24:13.439 look at you as as product now, not as a 0:24:13.600 --> 0:24:17.119 hearing being. So if I'm gonna help you, how's that 0:24:17.240 --> 0:24:19.480 gonna help me? That's how people are looking at stuff. 0:24:19.480 --> 0:24:22.000 They're not They're not looking at it as humanity. So 0:24:22.040 --> 0:24:25.119 I always say, uh, white people can't can't be the 0:24:25.119 --> 0:24:27.960 more police because of history. You can't be the more police. 0:24:28.359 --> 0:24:31.760 And and they just know that they can't be because 0:24:32.800 --> 0:24:35.480 the morality portion of it. You know, some stuff being 0:24:35.520 --> 0:24:39.000
