Speaker 4: We want to hear from you on the breath of black.

177
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:07,119
Speaker 10: Good morning.

178
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 1: This is a drena.

179
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:16,479
Speaker 10: I'm a little nervous, but I really want people to

180
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 10: reach out to your friends and family, check on them

181
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 10: to make sure that they're okay. It's been almost eight

182
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 10: months since I lost my soulmate to suicide, and when

183
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 10: he committed suicide, we was on a break but we

184
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:36,039
Speaker 10: were still very much in communication with each other. But

185
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:40,159
Speaker 10: I knew something was wrong, and my gut told me

186
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 10: to go check, but my head said no, don't do it.

187
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:49,279
Speaker 10: And had I listened to my guts, I would have

188
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,840
Speaker 10: known something was wrong and could have been able to help. Also,

189
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,599
Speaker 10: with women and their children, when you have a man

190
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 10: that wants to be in the lives of their it's

191
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 10: you shouldn't use the child as a porn to get

192
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 10: back because no one has never ever thought he would

193
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 10: commit to us side because of what was happening with

194
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 10: his children. So I just want people to just be those.

00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 3: the post, fingers the post maggot the next generation that

483
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:53,960
Speaker 3: have to affect you.

484
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 14: It does, Yeah, no, I I mean literally, if you

485
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 14: watch the special right now, you will see I'm only

486
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 14: shot from like the halfway up, and if anything gets awry,

487
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 14: like I can't move or get away from people broke

488
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:09,879
Speaker 14: during the special. You can't do that when you run

489
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:13,880
Speaker 14: the Magna crowd. No, no offense to the Maga crowd.

490
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,640
Speaker 14: But they're also slow movers too, so you know I can.

491
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 14: I can usually out maneuver them. I can use my

492
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:21,639
Speaker 14: privilege to lord it over them, or I use the

493
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 14: four security guards to get between me and them if

494
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 14: things get hairy.

495
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:25,880
Speaker 4: I enjoyed the special.

496
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 3: It's you talking to the younger I guess generation of

497
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:31,639
Speaker 3: Magna because fifteen percent of what.

498
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 14: Young men, Yeah, young men shifted right this election, and

499
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:37,680
Speaker 14: there was a shift. There was a shift right from

500
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:41,399
Speaker 14: the entire youth generation. Like women shifted right, but men

501
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,160
Speaker 14: especially moved into the Maga camp. And so we were

502
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:46,680
Speaker 14: We're curious, why, like what was it about that. It

503
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,159
Speaker 14: doesn't it doesn't feel like the cool thing on a

504
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 14: campus to believe in, you know, anti abortion, reproductive rights

505
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 14: or you know, essentially it's the anti hippie movement, but

506
00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:59,160
Speaker 14: there was a movement, so like, let's get there, Let's

507
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:01,119
Speaker 14: go to a turn points event, Let's go to a

508
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 14: UFC fight, let's like talk to some of these kids.

509
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,119
Speaker 3: I watched it and when I finished, I was like,

510
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 3: I still didn't hear a logical reason.

511
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:09,919
Speaker 4: It just felt like vibes.

512
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 14: I think, yeah, I think it still is vibes. The

513
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 14: large question was like, is there an ideology behind this shift?

514
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,680
Speaker 14: And I think the answer is no. I don't think

515
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:23,159
Speaker 14: you have a lot of kids who have conservative ideals,

516
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 14: So there's some religion comes in or whatever those ideals are,

517
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:30,119
Speaker 14: but I think mostly they see people finding success on

518
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 14: TikTok and the social media space being conservative and that

519
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 14: gives them an identity. They see it as a little

520
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 14: bit punk, that gives it an identity. So I think

521
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,200
Speaker 14: like they're moving towards vibes, which I think for the

522
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 14: left they can get those vibes back, but they're just

523
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:44,439
Speaker 14: not engaging with that generation.

524
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 6: Jordan and I would have to ask why why did

525
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,119
Speaker 6: you want to waste your time and talk to Maga

526
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 6: younger young.

527
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 4: I think it's I think it's a good exercise. I

528
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 4: think more people should do that.

529
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 6: The reason I say that is because you're not going

530
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 6: to get the answers you'd like, probably and you're probably

531
00:19:58,359 --> 00:19:59,199
Speaker 6: gonna get threatened a lot.

532
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 14: Sure, Yes, I mean the first a health insurance. My

533
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:04,680
Speaker 14: job is to be able to talk to other people.

534
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:05,879
Speaker 14: And if I don't do my job, I don't have

535
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:09,360
Speaker 14: health insurance and I have week bothes. So we've established

536
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:12,200
Speaker 14: that for this six foot nine frame, I need that

537
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 14: health insurance.

538
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:16,200
Speaker 9: But I think what I like about it. I mean,

539
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 9: I'm lucky I get to go out there.

540
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 14: I'm not a journalist, I'm a comedian, so I get

541
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:23,639
Speaker 14: to push, I get to ask follow ups. I get

542
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 14: to cavort and try to find something that reveals. Right, Like,

543
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:29,480
Speaker 14: my job out there isn't to convince people of one

544
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:31,159
Speaker 14: way or the other. I think my job is to

545
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 14: find something that is revealing. Like for this special, we

546
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:36,200
Speaker 14: talk to a kid. And I always find it fascinating

547
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 14: to go to a campus and just see, like what

548
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:39,680
Speaker 14: actually is happening. CNN will tell you one thing, but

549
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 14: until you go to Texas A and M and talk

550
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 14: to a kid, do you actually understand what it is?

551
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 14: Like we talked to a kid about like why he

552
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:47,879
Speaker 14: was obsessed with Charlie Kirk. Why he was he was

553
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 14: going to a Charlie Kirk event. What is it about

554
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:53,200
Speaker 14: this this guy? And he literally articulated, like I have

555
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 14: a hard time with my words. I like to listen

556
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,399
Speaker 14: to what he says. I like to memorize it, and

557
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:00,440
Speaker 14: then I have his words and his idea is and

558
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,919
Speaker 14: it's like it's comedic in the special, but I think

559
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 14: above that, it's it's just revealing, Like when you're like,

560
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 14: why do these people, why are they drawn to this?

561
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 9: It's like that kid set it right there.

562
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,639
Speaker 14: He didn't even know that he's being somewhat comical that

563
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 14: you're just memorizing ideas so you can regurgitate it.

564
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 9: But it's very human.

565
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 14: He was like, he feels lost without that. So for me,

566
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:22,639
Speaker 14: it's always always compelling to go where the story is

567
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 14: and to talk to folks about it.

568
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 6: I was gonna ask that not a threatening part? Yeah,

569
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:28,159
Speaker 6: how many times have you've been threatened? Whether it's calls,

570
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 6: people in person, emails, texts.

571
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,879
Speaker 14: I mean that happens a lot, the emails, the calls.

572
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 14: There's been threats on family members, which would ain't is

573
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 14: not super fun. I think out in the field, ten

574
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 14: years ago. I'm not going out there.

575
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 9: With security guards.

576
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:47,679
Speaker 14: You know, you can go out there as a comedian

577
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 14: talk about politics and not be afraid of getting punched.

578
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 14: But Trump era comes in, people get more upset. Upset

579
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 14: Trump says like, you're you're a patriot, fight back. These

580
00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 14: are the enemy of the people. And it was during

581
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 14: his first first run for president that like, we went

582
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 14: to a school board meeting and are having a conversation

583
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:06,920
Speaker 14: and I get bum rushed by somebody who's just mad

584
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:07,159
Speaker 14: that we.

585
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:07,880
Speaker 9: Have a camera there.

586
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 14: And since then we keep adding security guards. I was

587
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:14,399
Speaker 14: there on January sixth and that got Harry. We got

588
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 14: a security guard. They got pushed, there's flash bangs going off.

589
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 14: They're like, we can't stand here. We need to get

590
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 14: on a train. Like it's sort of the new reality.

591
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:24,400
Speaker 14: And most people I talked to are great. They want

592
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 14: to talk, they are they want to be on TV,

593
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:29,640
Speaker 14: they want to engage. But you have it now where

594
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 14: people have been weaponized by the most powerful men on

595
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 14: the planet and who says like you can do something,

596
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 14: you should fight back. These are the bad guys, and

597
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:38,159
Speaker 14: all it takes is a couple of bad ideas for

598
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 14: those guys to to feel themselves and go after you.

599
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:44,359
Speaker 2: What's the crazy experience you that that you've had so far?

600
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 14: I mean, Jay six was pretty wild. I was up

601
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 14: there for Jay six. I was working on J six,

602
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 14: all right, Charla Mane.

603
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 4: I was working there. I was out there. I was

604
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 4: out there.

605
00:22:59,000 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 11: You know what.

606
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:01,680
Speaker 14: The funniest moment on Jay six outside of the hole

607
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 14: trying to overthrow the government and you know, crapping on

608
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 14: Nancy Pelosi's desk. Outside of that, I'm literally interviewing people.

609
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:11,119
Speaker 14: And we've been there before, and we knew sort of like,

610
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:13,200
Speaker 14: we don't want to get trapped on the onslaught, so

611
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 14: let's stay outside of where everybody is. Quite frankly, really,

612
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:21,119
Speaker 14: where's the one place nobody is congregating? And it was

613
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 14: outside of the African American History Museum. Nobody was going there.

614
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:26,159
Speaker 14: So we were like, we will meet up here and

615
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:27,959
Speaker 14: then we'll go and find people to interview.

616
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 9: We start walking. We find this guy swinging a pitchfork

617
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:32,960
Speaker 9: and I go up to the man. I start talking

618
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:33,639
Speaker 9: to this man.

619
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 4: Oh, that's the guy.

620
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:37,159
Speaker 9: That's the guy. I mean, we got to make TV here,

621
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 9: you know. And that guy's got a pitchfork. He's he's

622
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 9: throwing it around.

623
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 4: Wait, and nobody was outside the African Americans. You know

624
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 4: where are we gonna go?

625
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:51,359
Speaker 9: Yeah, African American Museum. Do you want to engage with

626
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 9: American sins of the past?

627
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 11: No?

628
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:55,159
Speaker 9: No, let's take a crap on the desk of the Capitol.

629
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:55,680
Speaker 4: What do you say?

630
00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:59,399
Speaker 14: So we're talking to this guy swinging a pitchfork and

631
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 14: he's ran to about revolution and another man comes up.

632
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 14: He sees the camera and he just starts he's just swearing,

633
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 14: He's just obscenity man, and he's yelling so loud that

634
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 14: pitchfork man stops the interview. He shushes him, and then

635
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:14,879
Speaker 14: he says, this man doesn't speak for me, which then

636
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 14: leaves me grateful to the more level headed man swinging

637
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:20,920
Speaker 14: up his fork and he makes eye contact with me

638
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 14: and he rolls his eyes as if to say, like,

639
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 14: can you believe this happen?

640
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 11: Guy?

641
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:26,159
Speaker 9: And it's like, oh, yeah, that's it. Like even this

642
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:27,720
Speaker 9: guy is like these guys are too crazy for me.

643
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:28,920
Speaker 9: Can we just have a conversation?

644
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 14: And you're like, right, we can actually find a little

645
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:35,200
Speaker 14: bit of common ground if there is that crazier person there.

646
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:37,919
Speaker 3: And we got my man Jordan Klepper from The Daily Show. Here, yo,

647
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 3: refresh my memory. I don't what the hell was happening

648
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:41,479
Speaker 3: on January sixth, before the insurrection.

649
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:42,359
Speaker 4: What was everybody there for?

650
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 9: Well, they were there to certify the vote.

651
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 14: But Trump then preempts it by having a huge rally

652
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:51,640
Speaker 14: at eleven o'clock, and so everybody comes out. Rudy Giuliani's there,

653
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:55,879
Speaker 14: and so everybody comes to watch the giant Trump speech,

654
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:58,640
Speaker 14: but everybody leaves halfway through, not everybody. Half the folks

655
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,959
Speaker 14: leave halfway through to god start moving towards the Capitol,

656
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 14: which then we saw, we saw the Proud Boys march

657
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 14: on the Capitol. I mean, it was a it was

658
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:07,880
Speaker 14: a wild day. It was not a surprise though, as

659
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 14: a cable comedy show, like, we knew to be at

660
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 14: the Capitol. We were right there when they pushed in,

661
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 14: because we're like, this is where everybody's going. This is

662
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 14: where they said they're going. There's going to be something

663
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,159
Speaker 14: to happen here. We didn't expect them to get inside,

664
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,480
Speaker 14: but we knew they'd be there for the sake of content,

665
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 14: for the sake of clicks. Did you think to yourself, Hey,

666
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 14: we should go in with them luckily, like my inherent

667
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:31,440
Speaker 14: fear got in the way there. I think it was

668
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:33,639
Speaker 14: it was confusing, that's what the rules were. I think

669
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 14: even at the at the time there was a small

670
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:39,160
Speaker 14: fence that got pushed in. And even as you're seeing

671
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:41,680
Speaker 14: this and you're watching this, and it's again it's it's

672
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 14: half tragic, like this is the Capitol, this is the

673
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 14: seat of American governance, and I see all these people

674
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:50,000
Speaker 14: acting like generals going in there, and it's also completely absurd.

675
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:52,240
Speaker 14: I saw I interviewed literally an old man on a

676
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 14: segway trying to go up the hill while it's happening.

677
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 14: But I'm assuming they can't get in right. You're like,

678
00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:00,640
Speaker 14: they're going to get stopped at some point point there,

679
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 14: but the people just kept coming and literally our security

680
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 14: guards at one point were just like, we're hearing explosions.

681
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 9: This is an uncontrolled situation. It's time to get know.

682
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 3: People that the Daily Show and you said it a

683
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:13,360
Speaker 3: little while ago. Everybody in the Daily Show always says

684
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 3: something that I totally disagree with. Y'all say that you're

685
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 3: not journalists. Y'all all comedian when reality is y'all probably

686
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 3: some of the best journalists out because you do things

687
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 3: like go and talk to the other side when other

688
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:27,399
Speaker 3: folks really don't ran. So when do you have an

689
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 3: interview people that these ra Well, first of all, you

690
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 3: think it's fair for y'all to be able to say

691
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:31,920
Speaker 3: y'all not journalists.

692
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:34,400
Speaker 9: It's definitely a dodge. So yeah, thanks for calling it out,

693
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:36,440
Speaker 9: you know.

694
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 14: I mean, I think I say that in that the

695
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 14: stories we get on the Daily Show are stories that

696
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 14: are brought to us by journalists putting in the work,

697
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 14: and so that I respect and they work by the

698
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 14: code of journalism.

699
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 4: I think what we have we take it very seriously.

700
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 14: I don't see myself as a journalist, but I take

701
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:53,119
Speaker 14: going out and bringing.

702
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 9: Back what we see to the show very seriously.

703
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 14: But I do want an audience to understand the bias

704
00:26:57,600 --> 00:26:59,440
Speaker 14: that we have towards comedy and that we're making a

705
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:00,879
Speaker 14: show with that point of view. But I think all

706
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:03,399
Speaker 14: news has a bias, and I do think like in

707
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 14: modern journalism, I don't think it should be a bunch

708
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:07,399
Speaker 14: of comedians going out there bringing the stories back. Far

709
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:10,160
Speaker 14: from it, But I do think they could probably loosen

710
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:11,640
Speaker 14: up some of the rules in the ways in which

711
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:15,159
Speaker 14: they engage with people, because sometimes you see people engaging

712
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 14: with the old school rules of journalism, not pushing people

713
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:21,440
Speaker 14: past their conspiracies or their BS, or they're they're weighing

714
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 14: both sides where you're like, no, that that's BS.

715
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 9: You need to call that out.

716
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 14: You need to use some other way to knock that

717
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 14: person off their talking points so they can reveal something

718
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 14: truthful there. And I think as comedians we have that ability,

719
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 14: and at its best it works that way, but we're

720
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 14: working in conjunction with journalists who are actually bringing the

721
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:40,679
Speaker 14: story back so that we can have some commentary on comedy.

722
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:42,719
Speaker 4: Is disarming, it is that's the thing that a lot

723
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:44,360
Speaker 4: of the journalists don't.

724
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:45,120
Speaker 9: Have one percent.

725
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 14: Yeah, And at its best, it cuts to the quick

726
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 14: faster than trying to argue with somebody else.

727
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 3: You know, when you do something like The Maggot and

728
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:55,120
Speaker 3: Next Generation, do you have a lead to rally thinking damn,

729
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 3: maybe I'm the one who.

730
00:27:55,840 --> 00:28:00,159
Speaker 14: Doesn't get it, you know, I mean, I think I

731
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:02,400
Speaker 14: always leave it with a little bit more empathy towards

732
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:05,200
Speaker 14: the folks that I'm talking with, because for every you know,

733
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:07,680
Speaker 14: every five minutes on camera, there's two minutes off camera

734
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 14: where you're talking about something that's not political, and you

735
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 14: connect with them and they're interesting, they're compelling. You find

736
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:15,119
Speaker 14: music that you both care about or something, and I

737
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:18,159
Speaker 14: think like that that softens what you think about the

738
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:20,120
Speaker 14: people and the interactions that you have with those people.

739
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 14: I think I usually feel pretty steadfast in my opinions.

740
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 14: That being said, I do think, like no, nobody has

741
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 14: the certainty that they pretend to have on camera at

742
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 14: these rallies. Like no, there's a lot of complexity to

743
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 14: many many issues, but nobody has the guts or the

744
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 14: vulnerability to be open about it, usually in front of

745
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:38,120
Speaker 14: the camera.

746
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:40,120
Speaker 2: Now, you said you want to bring peace in harmony?

747
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 9: God did I say that?

748
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 12: Yes?

749
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:42,560
Speaker 4: Really?

750
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 7: Is that true?

751
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 12: Oh?

752
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 9: Boy? What did I say? I want to bring peace

753
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 9: in harmony?

754
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 6: He said, you want to bring peace in harmony? But

755
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 6: how was that when every time a maga meamber comes

756
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 6: you give them a little joke, just a little.

757
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 12: Bit, you know what.

758
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 14: Yeah, I try to deliver peace through the lovely delivery

759
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 14: mechanism of.

760
00:28:58,440 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 4: A joke.

761
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 14: I you know, I'd there to be some peace and harmony,

762
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 14: But it is a constant balance of you know, I

763
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 14: want to empathize, I don't want to just be mean

764
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 14: out there when I talk to other people. But also

765
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 14: it's I think life is pretty serious right now, and

766
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 14: I think when I go to some of these MAGA events,

767
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:17,120
Speaker 14: you see Donald Trump playing to the masses in a

768
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 14: way that emboldens him to do pretty cruel.

769
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 9: Things, and so I don't mind pushing back hard in

770
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:23,959
Speaker 9: that direction.

771
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:26,480
Speaker 14: But I often think the people I talk to I

772
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:28,920
Speaker 14: have sympathy for because I think they're being weaponized by

773
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 14: other people who are trying to manipulate them.

774
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:32,239
Speaker 9: So that's that's where my empathy tends a lie.

775
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 3: Do you have a struggle with where Satie ends and

776
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 3: responsibility begins?

777
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean I think like that activist conversation is

778
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 9: a tough one. I don't don't I don't love the hat.

779
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 14: I do think like John is somebody who always says, like,

780
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 14: you know, this is not activist, we're comedians, And I

781
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 14: think like, in some ways that is that is a

782
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 14: safety net, but you also sort of need that to

783
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:55,480
Speaker 14: like not approach work every day to think of like

784
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 14: what am I trying to change in the world.

785
00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 9: Like I understand where that comes from.

786
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 14: But it's like the job of the show is to

787
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 14: find comedy to follow, like your passions, the things you

788
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:06,720
Speaker 14: care about, where you seebs call it out, but also

789
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 14: like find a way to make it funny and interesting

790
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 14: and reformat it. I think that is the job you

791
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 14: get in tough territory when you're like, I need to

792
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 14: I need to be an activist in that moment.

793
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 9: I don't think that is the place.

794
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 14: But I think you have to be honest with your

795
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 14: desire to be a part of that conversation, but also

796
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 14: be honest with what your skill set is and what

797
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:27,560
Speaker 14: your platform is.

798
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 12: Have you ever spoke with.

799
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 6: Somebody where you actually change their mind by the things

800
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:32,480
Speaker 6: that you said and he understood what you were saying.

801
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:36,480
Speaker 14: No, okay, I do tell a story, though it doesn't

802
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 14: happen in front of the camera. People don't change their

803
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:41,040
Speaker 14: minds in front of the camera, but off camera gets close.

804
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 14: I was heckled at a rally by a man who

805
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:47,280
Speaker 14: was dressed in a bricksuit, a suit that looked like

806
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 14: Trump's Wall of bespoke suit in a hand of our mustache.

807
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 14: He's known as a bricksuit guy. Trump brings him up

808
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 14: on stage at lots of his rallies. He's famous there.

809
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:57,480
Speaker 14: He trold me at a rally he live streamed during

810
00:30:57,920 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 14: our interviews to try to get people not to talk

811
00:30:59,720 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 14: to us.

812
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 9: He was paying the ass.

813
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:04,240
Speaker 14: We get snowed in and all of us have to

814
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 14: fly out the next day after this rally on different flights,

815
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 14: and I show up at the Green Bay Airport, very

816
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 14: tiny airport alone. There's a three and a half hour delay,

817
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 14: and bricksuit guy is there, and he's not in the

818
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:19,120
Speaker 14: brick suit. He's wearing a Maga hat. He's got two

819
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 14: extra hats on his case, but no bricksuit civilian clothes.

820
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 14: And he's like, do you want to talk? And of

821
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:26,959
Speaker 14: course I don't want to talk. But we're there at

822
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 14: an airport for three and a half hours, and we

823
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 14: get into it, and I don't change his mind. He

824
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 14: doesn't change my mind. But he is remarkably open about

825
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 14: the things he's unsure about with Donald Trump. He's unsure

826
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 14: he wishes Donald Trump didn't go on and on about

827
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 14: the twenty twenty election being stolen, which is a huge

828
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 14: thing to show any kind of weakness, Like I don't

829
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:48,680
Speaker 14: believe Trump was honest about that. In the Maga movement,

830
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 14: you can't say that in front the camera. He says

831
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:52,240
Speaker 14: that to me off camera. He talks about like where

832
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 14: he comes from and frankly he comes He's like a

833
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:56,960
Speaker 14: libertarian guy who likes to troll people online. You'd like

834
00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:59,320
Speaker 14: to think that the handlebar mussage guy who dresses and

835
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 14: bespoke brick suits is an idiot, not an idiot. Smart

836
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 14: guy feels like a history buff, like the kind of

837
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:07,440
Speaker 14: person who has too many like World War two books,

838
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 14: but a smart guy has his own topics.

839
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:12,480
Speaker 9: Like we literally we laugh.

840
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 14: Somebody recognizes me as we're talking and asks for a

841
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 14: selfie and he takes the photo, which is like this,

842
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 14: he's open to all.

843
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 4: Of this stuff.

844
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:23,200
Speaker 14: We talk all the way up until I get on

845
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 14: the plane and I'm in an exit row and the

846
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:28,160
Speaker 14: woman who takes the ticket asks if I'm willing to

847
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 14: accept the responsibilities being an exit row. I say yes,

848
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 14: and then I turned to him and I was like,

849
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:36,080
Speaker 14: I hope this freaks you out, man, and he laughs,

850
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:38,600
Speaker 14: and I'm like, that's it right there, Like you're not

851
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 14: intimidated by me. I'm not so offended that I made

852
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:42,120
Speaker 14: a joke.

853
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:42,600
Speaker 4: You laugh.

854
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 14: It's humor, it's disarming, and it's for most of the

855
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 14: people who I'm friends with. Even who I disagree with,

856
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 14: you find things you can laugh at. And that happens

857
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 14: all off camera. And I'm not entering that conversation to

858
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 14: try to change his mind. That's not gonna happen. But

859
00:32:57,440 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 14: I'm entering it with like an amount of uncertainty of like,

860
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:02,160
Speaker 14: here's the thing that I'm unsure about what the Left says,

861
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 14: or or here's things that I think are okay about

862
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:06,240
Speaker 14: what Trump does, and he's like, here's things that I

863
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 14: doubt about what Trump does.

864
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:10,120
Speaker 9: Like, oh, there's there's the human behind that, even.

865
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 14: In the caricature of a guy from the Daily Show

866
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:14,480
Speaker 14: mixed with the caricature of a person from the Trump universe,

867
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 14: Like they can talk, they can meet somewhere of an understanding,

868
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 14: and usually it's it's freaking away from those cameras in

869
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:22,800
Speaker 14: a Green Bay airport.

870
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:25,040
Speaker 3: It is Memorial Day, so we're not here saluted all

871
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:26,720
Speaker 3: our veterans out there, But we do have some new

872
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 3: conversations for you that you haven't heard yet. My man

873
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:32,440
Speaker 3: Jordan Klepper, he's got a new special out, Jordan Klepper

874
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:35,000
Speaker 3: fingers the Post Maga, and we're gonna talk to him

875
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:36,520
Speaker 3: all about it right here on the breakfast Club.

876
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:37,360
Speaker 4: I remember they had.

877
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 3: When you had your late night show, didn't they have

878
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:42,800
Speaker 3: you playing a character of a like a conservative right wing.

879
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:45,920
Speaker 14: I was playing like an Alex Jones style right wing character.

880
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:47,840
Speaker 14: And so that that was And at that time too,

881
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 14: it was like Info Wars was so huge and big

882
00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:54,720
Speaker 14: and the conspiracy mindset, which thankfully is gone completely away,

883
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 14: we don't see it anymore. But that that was me

884
00:33:57,040 --> 00:34:00,600
Speaker 14: playing a caricature to find humor in in going over

885
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 14: the top, quite frankly, as comedy has evolved and the

886
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:07,280
Speaker 14: politics situation has evolved so much over the last ten years, Like,

887
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:10,640
Speaker 14: I think that's still a space to play in. There's

888
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:12,799
Speaker 14: still humor to be found, but I think audiences are

889
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:16,680
Speaker 14: like so tired of extreme caricatures. You have one in

890
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:18,879
Speaker 14: the White House that like, I think they're connecting more

891
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:22,919
Speaker 14: with comedians on a more authentic level. And so that's

892
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 14: sort of in some ways where the finger the pull

893
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:26,400
Speaker 14: stuff has come out of. Trevor was big on that.

894
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:28,839
Speaker 14: He was just like, go out there, you're not playing

895
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:33,120
Speaker 14: a parody of a journalist. You're yourself, bringing your wits

896
00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:36,360
Speaker 14: about you and your opinions. Find humor in that, but

897
00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:37,720
Speaker 14: don't lean on the character.

898
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:40,799
Speaker 3: Also, people are dumb, but they don't believe you. Sure,

899
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:42,759
Speaker 3: I didn't know you were playing the character, you know what?

900
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:43,799
Speaker 4: Yeah?

901
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:47,280
Speaker 14: Had we had at the opposition, We had Carter Page,

902
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:50,440
Speaker 14: who was a foreign advisor to Donald Trump, and it

903
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 14: was the center of the news cycle at one point

904
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:54,520
Speaker 14: because people were wondering he was if he was a

905
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:59,000
Speaker 14: Russian asset because Russia had manipulated him in the past.

906
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:01,720
Speaker 14: He was working for the Trump administration, and he reached

907
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:03,279
Speaker 14: out to our show and took a meeting at our

908
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:05,319
Speaker 14: show because he wanted to work on our show as

909
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:08,120
Speaker 14: someone He didn't see it as a satire. He saw

910
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:11,239
Speaker 14: it as an opportunity, which which was hard for us

911
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:11,720
Speaker 14: to swallow.

912
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 3: Where do you think satire fits into today's media landscape?

913
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 4: But people numb to it are addicted? Are they still

914
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 4: reachable to the understanding thing?

915
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:23,320
Speaker 14: I mean, I think what has shifted so much is

916
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 14: like the formatting of it all right. I think like

917
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:29,000
Speaker 14: satire is all about context, and that's hard if you're

918
00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:32,200
Speaker 14: taking in seven second chunks on like TikTok. I think

919
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:34,160
Speaker 14: it's easier if you have a thirty minute chunk, If

920
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 14: you have an eight minute rant. I think people are

921
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 14: drawn to comedy.

922
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:43,719
Speaker 9: In many ways. It is like the language of I mean,

923
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 9: it's a language of humor, but I think like it's

924
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:47,440
Speaker 9: the quickest way to get to to a truth. So

925
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:50,400
Speaker 9: I do think. I think satire is in a boom.

926
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:53,320
Speaker 14: I think people are drawn, but I think but that

927
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:56,160
Speaker 14: being said, the social media landscape has shifted the ways

928
00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:58,000
Speaker 14: in which we consume all this stuff, and that has

929
00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:00,919
Speaker 14: kind of like it is made for long form capabilities,

930
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:03,440
Speaker 14: long podcasts, and I think that has shipped a word

931
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 14: comedy lies and short form as well.

932
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:06,360
Speaker 9: Which is more about those soundbites.

933
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 6: Now, speaking of the future of MAGA, what do you

934
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:10,040
Speaker 6: think the future of MAGA is gonna look like, especially

935
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:11,120
Speaker 6: in twenty twenty eight.

936
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:14,439
Speaker 14: Oh boy, I think that I think Trump is such

937
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:18,320
Speaker 14: a singular character that they think it can be passed

938
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:21,560
Speaker 14: on and that we have seen no proof of that yet.

939
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:24,239
Speaker 14: Donald Trump has been famous his whole life. I mean,

940
00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:26,160
Speaker 14: you know, he's reference to rap songs when I was

941
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:27,440
Speaker 14: coming up in a way that was like he is

942
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:29,960
Speaker 14: equated with wealth, and I think that is nobody else

943
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:32,279
Speaker 14: has that, and so I think they're going to try

944
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:34,120
Speaker 14: to pass it off. Maybe that's to trade events maybe

945
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:36,640
Speaker 14: it's to somebody who's even farther right, But right now

946
00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:38,880
Speaker 14: it's still a cult of personality that he's going to

947
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:42,120
Speaker 14: try to build around him. We'll see if that baton

948
00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:42,960
Speaker 14: goes anywhere else.

949
00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:45,719
Speaker 3: It's interesting when people say that, though, because to me,

950
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:49,239
Speaker 3: it's not even about the individual of Donald Trump. There's

951
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:53,279
Speaker 3: clearly a whole system that is perfectly okay with him

952
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:55,239
Speaker 3: doing everything that he's doing.

953
00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:57,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, so that is what scares me.

954
00:36:57,560 --> 00:37:00,960
Speaker 3: It's the system, Yeah, that is allowing him to exist

955
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:03,600
Speaker 3: because they will allow somebody else to exist in that

956
00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:04,080
Speaker 3: same way.

957
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:06,480
Speaker 14: Yeah, they've attached the system, and there's people behind it

958
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:09,840
Speaker 14: who have gotten good at understanding how to use Donald Trump.

959
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:13,000
Speaker 14: I think this Project twenty twenty five the world of

960
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:16,560
Speaker 14: Steve Bannon's like, like, Okay, he's going to come in here.

961
00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:20,279
Speaker 14: He's a singular character in his ability to charm half

962
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:23,560
Speaker 14: a nation, forty percent of a nation. I think that

963
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:25,920
Speaker 14: is hard to pass off. But I think you have

964
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:30,720
Speaker 14: a conservative movement who has sort of lost any desire

965
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:32,880
Speaker 14: to make a moral argument and just found a way

966
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:36,760
Speaker 14: in which to attach attach their wants to somebody.

967
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:38,279
Speaker 9: Who will just bulldoze all the way through.

968
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:41,360
Speaker 14: Who is about I mean, the Trump doctrine is he

969
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:44,000
Speaker 14: likes to make deals and he wants whatever is good

970
00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 14: for him. Yes, and if they can attach conservative things

971
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 14: onto the things that are deals and good for him,

972
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:53,759
Speaker 14: that make him look successful and popular, then they will

973
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:54,160
Speaker 14: ride that.

974
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:55,440
Speaker 9: And he has no problem riding that.

975
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:57,960
Speaker 3: What's the moment? I like a couple more questions, what's

976
00:37:57,960 --> 00:37:59,840
Speaker 3: a moment that actually made you emotional?

977
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:02,200
Speaker 4: Why doing one? Are you man? On the screen segment?

978
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:07,919
Speaker 14: I mean, it's not to get dark about it all,

979
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:10,399
Speaker 14: but like we covered news day in and day out,

980
00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:15,759
Speaker 14: and when I was hosting the show specifically like mass shootings,

981
00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:18,920
Speaker 14: like you're like, oh, how do you find humor in it?

982
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:19,600
Speaker 9: We find humor.

983
00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:22,040
Speaker 14: But like when you are when it's your responsibility, late

984
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:24,400
Speaker 14: Night has shifted into a place where people come to

985
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:26,320
Speaker 14: it to feel like a connection to what has happened

986
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:29,400
Speaker 14: during the days. And we have such a mass shooting

987
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:32,520
Speaker 14: epidemic in this country, and especially when I was hosting

988
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:34,719
Speaker 14: a show where like what happened today, Well, the big

989
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:36,960
Speaker 14: news is there was another terrible shooting in a school

990
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:39,239
Speaker 14: and we had people come on and I've covered like

991
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:42,120
Speaker 14: the gun movement with specials and in the past as well,

992
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:44,360
Speaker 14: And I've talked to parents and I've talked to students

993
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:46,640
Speaker 14: who are affected by all of this, and it's such

994
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:49,840
Speaker 14: it's such emblematic of what is which is what is

995
00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:52,840
Speaker 14: wrong with our country, Like most people just want safe,

996
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:55,600
Speaker 14: basic guidelines to try to stop us, and there's such

997
00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:59,719
Speaker 14: inaction on a federal level that it's constantly infuriating. And

998
00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:03,440
Speaker 14: so as that keeps happening and continues to happen, like

999
00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:07,400
Speaker 14: it's it's it's it's so heartbreaking. Also as someone who

1000
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:09,400
Speaker 14: has a kid who's in school right now, it's so

1001
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:12,040
Speaker 14: scary to think of that happening to parents. And beyond that,

1002
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:14,400
Speaker 14: it's so infuriating because it's like the system is broken

1003
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:17,480
Speaker 14: when you have people who scream out from the rafters.

1004
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:20,240
Speaker 14: Eighty percent of people are like, we just need basic

1005
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:22,560
Speaker 14: stuff to try to help kids in schools, and yet

1006
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:24,520
Speaker 14: you have like a system of government that can't respond

1007
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:25,080
Speaker 14: to that like that.

1008
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:27,680
Speaker 9: Always, it always pisses me off.

1009
00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:30,560
Speaker 3: What's your dream field piece that you haven't gotten to

1010
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:34,120

1011
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:35,560
Speaker 3: nice place on a beach.

1012
00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:39,239
Speaker 14: I'm in Pennsylvania all the time, and Trump rallies in

1013
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 14: the heat, fighting with people about whether JFK Junior is

1014
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:45,400
Speaker 14: still alive, and so like, send me to someplace beautiful,

1015
00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:46,200
Speaker 14: give me a puff piece.

1016
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:48,320
Speaker 4: So how do you decompress after a day of absorbing

1017
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:50,080
Speaker 4: conspiracy theory? The ninety degree heats.

1018
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:54,319
Speaker 14: You know what it's it's it's booze. Booze helps real quick.

1019
00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 14: It's booze the NBA and being a dad, I think

1020
00:39:57,200 --> 00:39:57,839
Speaker 14: that helps out.

1033
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:28,759
Speaker 12: I mean no harm.

1034
00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:31,480
Speaker 3: Don't Here today goes to a Baltimore man by the

1035
00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:34,160
Speaker 3: name of Kevin Gross. Kevin is forty six years old,

1036
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:36,840
Speaker 3: just like I am, but I clearly make better choices

1037
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:39,960
Speaker 3: than Kevin. You know how sometimes people say, oh, you

1038
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:43,520
Speaker 3: think you better than me? The answer is yes, yes,

1039
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:45,920
Speaker 3: I do, because I make better choices. Not judging you

1040
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:47,800
Speaker 3: for anything you got going on, But you asked me

1041
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:50,080
Speaker 3: a question, Oh you think you better than me? Yes,

1042
00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:53,680
Speaker 3: hell yes, because I understand the strongest principle of growth

1043
00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:56,440
Speaker 3: lies in human choice, and I make better choices than you.

1044
00:40:56,760 --> 00:41:00,120
Speaker 3: And if you are currently enjoying this thing called freedom, well, oh,

1045
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:03,399
Speaker 3: you make better choices than Kevin as well, because he's

1046
00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:07,040
Speaker 3: in jail, currently facing charges for allegedly shooting a twenty

1047
00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:09,239
Speaker 3: eight year old coal worker on the side of I

1048
00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:11,680
Speaker 3: ninety five this past Monday morning. I know some of

1049
00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:14,359
Speaker 3: y'all right now are either at or on the way

1050
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:17,480
Speaker 3: to jobs where you think you can't stand your coworker.

1051
00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:20,799
Speaker 3: You believe you hate this co worker with all your heart,

1052
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:24,320
Speaker 3: and you just might, okay, just be better than Kevin.

1053
00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:24,759
Speaker 4: Okay.

1054
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:26,399
Speaker 3: And the way you continue to be better than Kevin

1055
00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:28,960
Speaker 3: is simply by making the choice not to shoot your

1056
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:31,920
Speaker 3: co worker. Let's go to WBALTV for the report police.

1057
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:35,319
Speaker 15: Bond denied for forty six year old Kevin Gross he's

1058
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:38,200
Speaker 15: facing charges for allegedly shooting a twenty eight year old

1059
00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:41,920
Speaker 15: coworker on the side of I ninety five early Monday morning.

1060
00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:45,200
Speaker 15: According to charging documents, the victim called nine to one one.

1061
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:48,600
Speaker 15: When state police arrived, they found him walking along the

1062
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:52,600
Speaker 15: shoulder of ninety five with seven gunshot wounds to the

1063
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:56,600
Speaker 15: arm and torso. Court documents show he told police he

1064
00:41:56,760 --> 00:41:58,800
Speaker 15: was on his way into work and got a flat tire,

1065
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:01,399
Speaker 15: so we pulled off on the shoulder of ninety five,

1066
00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:04,080
Speaker 15: just north of the Howard County line. When he got

1067
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:07,680
Speaker 15: out to inspect the tire, his coworker, Kevin Gross, pulled

1068
00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:10,280
Speaker 15: up behind him and got out, wearing a mask covering

1069
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:10,879
Speaker 15: his mouth.

1070
00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:11,520
Speaker 9: Quote.

1071
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:13,960
Speaker 15: Gross told him he must have hit a pothole or something,

1072
00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:17,040
Speaker 15: but upon inspecting the tire, the victim could see the

1073
00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:20,520
Speaker 15: tire had been slashed. Gross then produced a firearm and

1074
00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:22,440
Speaker 15: began firing numerous shots.

1075
00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:23,080
Speaker 2: Quote.

1076
00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:26,960
Speaker 15: Charging documents reveal the two were assistant managers that planted

1077
00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:30,320
Speaker 15: aid in Elkridge. Gross had recently been demoted, and the

1078
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:32,920
Speaker 15: victim told police Gross thought he had something to do

1079
00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:33,920
Speaker 15: with that demotion.

1080
00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:38,520
Speaker 3: Kevin, you got the right last name, because this was Gross.

1081
00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:41,399
Speaker 3: What a diabolical plan. The victim was on his way

1082
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:42,800
Speaker 3: to work and got a flash tire. He thought he

1083
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:45,480
Speaker 3: hit a pothole, but his tires had been slashed. Oh,

1084
00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:47,319
Speaker 3: I wondered who slashed him? And then when he got

1085
00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:49,000
Speaker 3: out to inspect the tire, Kevin pulled up behind him

1086
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:51,320
Speaker 3: with a mask and shot him several times, all because

1087
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:54,480
Speaker 3: he thought his coworker got him demoted. Both of them

1088
00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:57,000
Speaker 3: were assistant managers at Planet AID. Now y'all know what

1089
00:42:57,080 --> 00:42:57,920
Speaker 3: Planet eight is, right?

1090
00:42:58,120 --> 00:42:58,160
Speaker 4: No?

1091
00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:02,799
Speaker 3: Not data organizations that collect the clothing donations. They got

1092
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:04,759
Speaker 3: the yellow bins all over the place you can put

1093
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:05,840
Speaker 3: the clothes and shoes in.

1094
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:06,200
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1095
00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:09,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, they accept clothing donations in seventeen hundred locations. Okay,

1111
00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:48,920
Speaker 3: And by prison math, I mean when you have to

1112
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:51,279
Speaker 3: calculate in your mind whether or not the choice you

00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:35,040

1134
00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:42,759

1135
00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:47,239
Speaker 3: saying is, no matter how much I calculate this prison math, Okay,

1136
00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:49,960
Speaker 3: I've done addition, subtraction, multiplication, division.

1137
00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:50,680
Speaker 4: I tried to.

1138
00:44:50,719 --> 00:44:53,800
Speaker 3: Figure this out multiple ways, and guess what, it just

1139
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:57,680
Speaker 3: don't compute. Okay, it just nothing that up. The victim

1140
00:44:57,719 --> 00:45:00,680
Speaker 3: is in critical condition. He got seven times, got seven times.

1141
00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:04,280
Speaker 3: Kevin Gross is charged with attempted first degree murder in Maryland.

00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:19,080
Speaker 3: Moral of the story is Kevin is spending the rest

1148
00:45:19,120 --> 00:45:21,800
Speaker 3: of his natural born life in prison.

1149
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:25,360
Speaker 4: Therefore the prison math ain't adding up. It's just not

1150
00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:27,640
Speaker 4: worth it. You have to calculate it in your head.

1151
00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:29,919
Speaker 4: You got demoted. You don't even know if this person

1152
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:31,040
Speaker 4: you shot had anything to.

1153
00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:33,799
Speaker 3: Do with it, but even if they did, as soon

1154
00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:36,279
Speaker 3: as you started formulating this plan in your head, just

1155
00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:38,759
Speaker 3: think about it. I'm gonna cut his tires, I'm gonna

1156
00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:41,000
Speaker 3: shoot him a bunch of times. At some point your

1157
00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:43,960
Speaker 3: brain has to say no, no, no, no no, This

1158
00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:47,480
Speaker 3: prison math ain't mathing. This is not a situation that's

1159
00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:50,000
Speaker 3: worth having to eat jail food for the rest of

1160
00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:53,360
Speaker 3: your life or having an inmate treat your bunkie like

1161
00:45:53,400 --> 00:45:57,200
Speaker 3: a bowl of cereal. So please let remy ma give

1162
00:45:57,320 --> 00:45:59,160
Speaker 3: Kevin Gross the biggest he hulled.

00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:07,600
Speaker 4: the l How do you get demoted from?

1165
00:46:07,719 --> 00:46:08,959
Speaker 1: Like a Salvation Army?

1166
00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:09,279
Speaker 4: Please?

1167
00:46:10,560 --> 00:46:11,520
Speaker 9: A good will place?

1168
00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:12,520
Speaker 2: And what could you do wrong?

1169
00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:14,279
Speaker 4: Yeah? I don't know.

1170
00:46:15,160 --> 00:46:17,040
Speaker 3: But he didn't even ask no questions. He just assumed

1171
00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:19,600
Speaker 3: it was this other this other person and shot him

1172
00:46:19,640 --> 00:46:21,759
Speaker 3: seven times. Now he's gonna spend the rest of his.

1173
00:46:21,840 --> 00:46:23,360
Speaker 4: Life in prison for that.

1174
00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:26,880

00:49:57,000 --> 00:49:58,600
Speaker 11: Get this chicken from? Where did you get the chicken from?

1251
00:49:58,920 --> 00:50:02,319
Speaker 11: I know, I didn't know the animal laws in New York.

1252
00:50:02,360 --> 00:50:04,200
Speaker 11: I had to drive all the way to Pennsylvania. Like

1253
00:50:05,760 --> 00:50:08,240
Speaker 11: the queens, they wouldn't sell it to me in Queens.

1254
00:50:08,480 --> 00:50:10,640
Speaker 11: Nobody would give me a live chicken in New York

1255
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:13,600
Speaker 11: because it's against the law. So I had to go

1256
00:50:13,719 --> 00:50:16,640
Speaker 11: all the way to Pennsylvania, cross state lines to look

1257
00:50:16,680 --> 00:50:17,160
Speaker 11: for the chicken.

1258
00:50:17,239 --> 00:50:19,399
Speaker 3: But yeah, what I think is about the wording, because

1259
00:50:19,400 --> 00:50:20,920
Speaker 3: you know in America, I don't know, you don't If

1260
00:50:20,920 --> 00:50:23,520
Speaker 3: you'll say so, you have to say, I want to

1261
00:50:23,520 --> 00:50:23,759
Speaker 3: bring my.

1262
00:50:26,960 --> 00:50:30,440
Speaker 12: Yah and my and I was stroking my leg.

1263
00:50:33,600 --> 00:50:33,960
Speaker 11: You say you.

1264
00:50:35,480 --> 00:50:37,680
Speaker 12: Give the chicken, I give, I give, I give my

1265
00:50:38,160 --> 00:50:40,480
Speaker 12: to my driver and he took it to an animal

1266
00:50:40,719 --> 00:50:43,280
Speaker 12: like home, animal shelter, so he's alive.

1267
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:48,439
Speaker 1: This is a freedom album basically, Yeah, this is a looser.

1268
00:50:49,440 --> 00:50:51,520
Speaker 11: Previously, in my other life, I was in a band.

1269
00:50:51,560 --> 00:50:53,640
Speaker 11: I was in a boy band and the band was

1270
00:50:53,680 --> 00:50:58,520
Speaker 11: called Sauti Soul. My Sauti So and so he voices

1271
00:50:58,600 --> 00:50:59,120
Speaker 11: of the Sun.

1272
00:50:59,400 --> 00:50:59,680
Speaker 4: Okay.

1273
00:51:00,160 --> 00:51:01,480
Speaker 11: So I was in a boy band. And this is

1274
00:51:01,560 --> 00:51:05,120
Speaker 11: my second lease of life. So now I'm a solo artist.

1275
00:51:05,160 --> 00:51:07,160
Speaker 11: I've been a solo artist for two years now and

1276
00:51:07,280 --> 00:51:08,879
Speaker 11: everything's looking up. I'm at the breakfast club.

1277
00:51:08,960 --> 00:51:10,839
Speaker 12: Mama, I made it nice.

1278
00:51:11,120 --> 00:51:13,719
Speaker 1: Why the Saudis Soul takes such a long hiatus? For

1279
00:51:13,880 --> 00:51:16,040
Speaker 1: music your last the.

1280
00:51:16,080 --> 00:51:17,439
Speaker 4: Last twenty years.

1281
00:51:17,520 --> 00:51:20,680
Speaker 12: Yeah, we're like new additions from Kenya. Yeah, boys to me.

1282
00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:23,719
Speaker 11: We met in high school, so we've been together twenty years,

1283
00:51:23,920 --> 00:51:25,960
Speaker 11: twenty beautiful years, the best years of my life.

1284
00:51:26,480 --> 00:51:27,960
Speaker 4: What made you just want to go solo on now?

1285
00:51:28,160 --> 00:51:28,359
Speaker 12: Yeah?

1286
00:51:28,480 --> 00:51:30,279
Speaker 11: Just trying something new, you know, after doing something for

1287
00:51:30,360 --> 00:51:32,319
Speaker 11: a long time. I think it was time for us

1288
00:51:32,400 --> 00:51:34,360
Speaker 11: to try and see what the other side looks like.

1289
00:51:34,600 --> 00:51:36,960
Speaker 11: And it's been beautiful so far. I think we needed

1290
00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:39,640
Speaker 11: this break so that our next season will be just

1291
00:51:39,719 --> 00:51:41,200
Speaker 11: as glorious, even better.

1292
00:51:41,600 --> 00:51:43,719
Speaker 1: And what is the other Saudi Soulos done?

1293
00:51:44,400 --> 00:51:46,480
Speaker 12: They're making music, they're doing interesting things.

1294
00:51:46,560 --> 00:51:48,920
Speaker 11: My brother Pulicup just launched his guitar Jaire, which is

1295
00:51:48,960 --> 00:51:49,799
Speaker 11: an amazing guitar.

1296
00:51:49,960 --> 00:51:52,920
Speaker 12: Chimano is on tour, Savara is putting out music as well.

1297
00:51:53,040 --> 00:51:55,480
Speaker 11: So we're all busy and we're all working together, like

1298
00:51:55,560 --> 00:51:57,480
Speaker 11: we're all writing for one another. We're all producing for

1299
00:51:57,560 --> 00:51:59,560
Speaker 11: one another, friends or great friends.

1300
00:52:00,400 --> 00:52:00,800
Speaker 4: Amazing.

1301
00:52:00,880 --> 00:52:01,080
Speaker 12: Yeah.

1302
00:52:01,160 --> 00:52:04,680
Speaker 3: Why do you think East African music hasn't seen a surge?

1303
00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:09,120
Speaker 3: And I guess mainstream the way artists from the Western Yeah.

1304
00:52:09,920 --> 00:52:12,040
Speaker 11: Well, there's many aspects to it, including the fact that

1305
00:52:12,120 --> 00:52:14,560
Speaker 11: it's just never been funded. Any music that you hear

1306
00:52:15,760 --> 00:52:18,040
Speaker 11: in the West is marketing dollars spend to get that

1307
00:52:18,120 --> 00:52:20,719
Speaker 11: music there. So for a long time, its tablica hasn't

1308
00:52:20,760 --> 00:52:23,919
Speaker 11: had that limelight. Also, our numbers in the diaspora don't

1309
00:52:23,960 --> 00:52:27,360
Speaker 11: come anywhere close to Nigeria. So the dominant culture in

1310
00:52:27,400 --> 00:52:29,640
Speaker 11: the dasport is going to be Nigeria. But the next

1311
00:52:29,760 --> 00:52:34,040
Speaker 11: logical sound to listen to after you've gone northeast, west

1312
00:52:34,320 --> 00:52:37,600
Speaker 11: and the northwest and south is east and so here

1313
00:52:37,680 --> 00:52:40,000
Speaker 11: we are, you know, we're taking the stairs or we're

1314
00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:42,239
Speaker 11: getting here anywhere, No is it.

1315
00:52:43,280 --> 00:52:46,640
Speaker 6: I've noticed with international artists they always want to win

1316
00:52:46,719 --> 00:52:48,480
Speaker 6: in the US. Why is that so important?

1317
00:52:48,640 --> 00:52:51,040
Speaker 11: Because when you win in the US, the reward is

1318
00:52:51,160 --> 00:52:54,480
Speaker 11: too high. Being the biggest artist in Kenya is now

1319
00:52:54,520 --> 00:52:56,279
Speaker 11: we're close being the biggest artist in the US. When

1320
00:52:56,320 --> 00:52:58,520
Speaker 11: you win in the US, you winning the world. So

1321
00:52:58,640 --> 00:53:01,399
Speaker 11: for a long time this market has dominated the world

1322
00:53:01,480 --> 00:53:03,520
Speaker 11: like that. Also, you guys have the structures, you have

1323
00:53:03,640 --> 00:53:06,880
Speaker 11: the venues, the ticketmasters and all these you know, all

1324
00:53:06,960 --> 00:53:10,160
Speaker 11: of these infrastructure mixed music what it is in the world. Yeah,

1325
00:53:10,239 --> 00:53:11,920
Speaker 11: so you're thought leaders, your global leaders.

1326
00:53:11,960 --> 00:53:16,200
Speaker 4: Why not remember when your love for music first hit you.

1327
00:53:16,520 --> 00:53:19,520
Speaker 12: Yes, I was like maybe five or six.

1328
00:53:20,360 --> 00:53:25,840
Speaker 11: I was watching with Maley song Ion Lion Zion, and

1329
00:53:25,920 --> 00:53:28,000
Speaker 11: that's the first time I was like, wow, what is this? Like,

1330
00:53:28,280 --> 00:53:31,080
Speaker 11: I feel like doing this thing. And I've been doing

1331
00:53:31,120 --> 00:53:34,200
Speaker 11: it since I'm thirty seven now, guys, I've been singing thirty.

1332
00:53:33,960 --> 00:53:36,600
Speaker 4: One years yeah, wow, so six years old.

1333
00:53:36,920 --> 00:53:37,560
Speaker 12: Since I was six.

1334
00:53:37,680 --> 00:53:40,279
Speaker 11: Yeah, And I joined the choir in church and I

1335
00:53:40,360 --> 00:53:43,000
Speaker 11: always say the church is the best artist development program

1336
00:53:43,120 --> 00:53:46,160
Speaker 11: in the world because that's where all the great musicians,

1337
00:53:46,480 --> 00:53:48,000
Speaker 11: especially for black music come from.

1338
00:53:48,360 --> 00:53:49,160
Speaker 4: How was it in Kenya?

1339
00:53:49,200 --> 00:53:51,160
Speaker 3: Because you know, you know, you hear stories people from

1340
00:53:51,200 --> 00:53:52,880
Speaker 3: Nayer their parents like, no, you're not going to go

1341
00:53:52,920 --> 00:53:54,920
Speaker 3: into music. You're not going to entertainment. You're gonna be

1342
00:53:54,920 --> 00:53:56,800
Speaker 3: a doctor. You know, Like like in Kenyu, when you

1343
00:53:56,840 --> 00:53:58,239
Speaker 3: said you want to do music, how was it?

1344
00:53:58,360 --> 00:54:00,440
Speaker 11: My mum said, as long as you finished school, as

1345
00:54:00,480 --> 00:54:02,600
Speaker 11: long as you finish college, you can do whatever you want.

1346
00:54:03,040 --> 00:54:05,439
Speaker 11: And music has been a kind master to me. Music

1347
00:54:05,520 --> 00:54:08,440
Speaker 11: paid me through college. Like I put it my first thing,

1348
00:54:08,520 --> 00:54:11,080
Speaker 11: go with Southeast Oil, my band when I was a freshman,

1349
00:54:11,640 --> 00:54:13,840
Speaker 11: and just like that, my life changed. I had to

1350
00:54:13,840 --> 00:54:17,440
Speaker 11: finish school, but I started to be a journalist, so

1351
00:54:17,560 --> 00:54:18,600
Speaker 11: I'd probably be working here.

1352
00:54:19,760 --> 00:54:22,200
Speaker 2: I did communications, And did you know that moment where

1353
00:54:22,200 --> 00:54:23,120
Speaker 2: you knew you were going to make it.

1354
00:54:23,200 --> 00:54:25,359
Speaker 4: Like, oh, this is this is what I was here

1355
00:54:25,400 --> 00:54:25,560
Speaker 4: to do.

1356
00:54:26,440 --> 00:54:28,640
Speaker 11: I told also my cousin when I was six, that

1357
00:54:28,680 --> 00:54:31,319
Speaker 11: I'm going to be a superstar, and she laughed it off.

1358
00:54:31,760 --> 00:54:33,800
Speaker 11: But I remind her to this day that this is

1359
00:54:33,880 --> 00:54:36,040
Speaker 11: written like I always knew that this is what I'm.

1360
00:54:35,880 --> 00:54:36,200
Speaker 12: Going to do.

1361
00:54:36,800 --> 00:54:39,080
Speaker 11: Yeah, even though sometimes life pushed me in directions where

1362
00:54:39,920 --> 00:54:42,880
Speaker 11: I wasn't in my direct journey, Like for example, like

1363
00:54:42,920 --> 00:54:46,360
Speaker 11: when I studied communications, it wasn't me studying music. But

1364
00:54:46,480 --> 00:54:48,640
Speaker 11: it came back now to make sense, you know, like

1365
00:54:49,680 --> 00:54:52,680
Speaker 11: my auditory skills are different. I understand how to interview,

1366
00:54:52,760 --> 00:54:54,800
Speaker 11: how to There's just things I learned in UNI that

1367
00:54:54,840 --> 00:54:56,080
Speaker 11: are very vital for me right now.

1368
00:54:56,440 --> 00:54:58,839
Speaker 3: And back then you was just like I think I'm

1369
00:54:58,880 --> 00:55:01,800
Speaker 3: training to be on the other side of the microphone.

1370
00:55:01,800 --> 00:55:03,440
Speaker 3: But then you're artist, You've got it.

1371
00:55:03,640 --> 00:55:05,840
Speaker 11: I watually if you're finishing school to clock out something

1372
00:55:05,880 --> 00:55:08,560
Speaker 11: in life, say that I have a degree, but I

1373
00:55:08,680 --> 00:55:09,840
Speaker 11: wasn't very passionate about it.

1374
00:55:09,960 --> 00:55:17,480
Speaker 12: What communications Okay, communicated that communicated journy.

1375
00:55:17,760 --> 00:55:18,560
Speaker 4: I just wanted to be clear.

1376
00:55:20,160 --> 00:55:22,480
Speaker 3: It is Memorial Day, so we're not here, but we

1377
00:55:22,560 --> 00:55:24,840
Speaker 3: do have some conversations that you haven't heard. You know,

1378
00:55:24,960 --> 00:55:27,520
Speaker 3: we all are fans of Afro beats and you know

1379
00:55:27,640 --> 00:55:29,080
Speaker 3: all of the sounds that are coming out of the

1380
00:55:29,160 --> 00:55:31,680
Speaker 3: continent right now. So I want to introduce you to

Speaker 3: is bing Okay Been is an artist from Kenya, an

1383
00:55:37,440 --> 00:55:39,719
Speaker 3: Afro pop musician, and we're going to talk to him

1384
00:55:39,719 --> 00:55:42,360
Speaker 3: because he's currently on tour here in the States and

1385

Speaker 3: we're going to talk to him right now.

1386
00:55:43,840 --> 00:55:47,080
Speaker 4: I saw something where it was saying you the Grammys

1387
00:55:47,160 --> 00:55:48,600
Speaker 4: was donating some money to Kenya.

1388
00:55:49,120 --> 00:55:49,960
Speaker 12: That was physical.

1389
00:55:50,160 --> 00:55:53,800
Speaker 11: So the Grammys are doing an Africa Grammys, you know,

1390
00:55:53,880 --> 00:55:56,600
Speaker 11: like some week the Latin Grammys. So there's been talk

1391
00:55:56,640 --> 00:56:00,800
Speaker 11: about Africa doing a Grammys, and Kenya had put in

1392
00:56:00,880 --> 00:56:03,319
Speaker 11: a bid to be the host for the Grammy three

1393
00:56:03,360 --> 00:56:07,200
Speaker 11: point eight million something like that, and the bid the

1394
00:56:07,280 --> 00:56:09,640
Speaker 11: whole I think the news came out at a very

1395
00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:13,960
Speaker 11: bad time because at that time economically and even now,

1396
00:56:14,360 --> 00:56:17,200
Speaker 11: we're not doing so well as a country. So at

1397
00:56:17,239 --> 00:56:20,720
Speaker 11: people in eight million dollars spent on the Grammys feels

1398
00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:25,200
Speaker 11: like an impulse spent people. Yeah, it's like the grammar

1399
00:56:25,400 --> 00:56:28,279
Speaker 11: bring in will be quadruple at I'm sure you know

1400
00:56:28,480 --> 00:56:30,160
Speaker 11: a lot not a lot of people have the insights

1401
00:56:30,239 --> 00:56:33,080
Speaker 11: of the music business to understand the value of the

1402
00:56:33,160 --> 00:56:35,160
Speaker 11: Grammy is coming to Kenya like that, you know. But

1403
00:56:35,680 --> 00:56:38,160
Speaker 11: so the people were just up in arms because they

1404
00:56:38,160 --> 00:56:39,960
Speaker 11: felt like there's many more ways to spend the three

1405
00:56:39,960 --> 00:56:41,280
Speaker 11: point five million dollars.

1406
00:56:41,960 --> 00:56:42,840
Speaker 4: Why did you agree with it?

1407
00:56:43,080 --> 00:56:45,120
Speaker 11: Because I'm an artist and understand what it's going to

1408
00:56:45,200 --> 00:56:47,880
Speaker 11: do for my constituency, for my people, Like this is

1409
00:56:48,400 --> 00:56:51,760
Speaker 11: future future, you know, investments for the artists who are coming.

1410
00:56:52,120 --> 00:56:53,560
Speaker 11: You know, they're going to thank us one day for

1411
00:56:53,640 --> 00:56:55,759
Speaker 11: hosting the Grammars in Kenya. So I think it's not

1412
00:56:55,840 --> 00:56:58,520
Speaker 11: a bad thing. Maybe the communication behind it should have

1413
00:56:58,600 --> 00:57:01,120
Speaker 11: been better. Maybe they should have been told about the financial.

1414
00:57:00,920 --> 00:57:02,680
Speaker 1: Degree in communications.

1415
00:57:03,239 --> 00:57:06,200
Speaker 11: Yes, I agree, I agree, Yes, I agree, I agree.

1416
00:57:06,440 --> 00:57:08,919
Speaker 11: Maybe just the communication only should have been better. Yeah,

1417
00:57:09,360 --> 00:57:11,840
Speaker 11: they should have said what NBA said about the profit

1418
00:57:12,200 --> 00:57:14,200
Speaker 11: and what we stand to gain as a country and

1419
00:57:14,280 --> 00:57:15,759
Speaker 11: this and this and this, and many people would have

1420
00:57:15,800 --> 00:57:16,800
Speaker 11: been like, okay, we see it.

1421
00:57:16,920 --> 00:57:21,480
Speaker 6: I mean the visitation. Yeah, hotels restaurants, foods, tourism.

1422
00:57:21,640 --> 00:57:22,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean there's just so much that.

1423
00:57:22,880 --> 00:57:24,960
Speaker 11: You get the development programs for the different facets of

1424
00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:27,840
Speaker 11: the music industry that the Grammy comes with as well, right, Yeah,

1425
00:57:28,040 --> 00:57:30,160
Speaker 11: you know, the Grammy is like a good artist development

1426
00:57:30,200 --> 00:57:31,439
Speaker 11: program as well, second to charge.

1427
00:57:32,120 --> 00:57:34,240
Speaker 12: So yeah, it would be nice if they came through. Yeah,

1428
00:57:34,240 --> 00:57:35,120
Speaker 12: I'm still hoping they do.

1429
00:57:35,960 --> 00:57:37,480
Speaker 3: Does that put a lot of pressure on you, knowing

1430
00:57:37,560 --> 00:57:40,640
Speaker 3: that Kenya is a country that isn't doing that well financially,

1431
00:57:41,080 --> 00:57:42,680
Speaker 3: but you may be doing that in.

1432
00:57:42,760 --> 00:57:46,360
Speaker 11: Most Yes, it puts pressure on me to make art

1433
00:57:46,560 --> 00:57:49,960
Speaker 11: that speaks to those people and tells their story to

1434
00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:53,080
Speaker 11: the world. Like I want people to see the pain

1435
00:57:53,280 --> 00:57:55,680
Speaker 11: and the struggle in my art. I want them to

1436
00:57:55,720 --> 00:57:57,080
Speaker 11: listen to the lyrics and I want them to I

1437
00:57:57,120 --> 00:57:58,960
Speaker 11: want the lyrics to take them to places in Kenya

1438
00:57:59,520 --> 00:58:01,720
Speaker 11: that they've never been to, and I want the human

1439
00:58:01,760 --> 00:58:04,480
Speaker 11: experience to connect. So right now, we're not going to

1440
00:58:05,040 --> 00:58:08,000
Speaker 11: a very easy time. Our government has no opposition. The

1441
00:58:08,040 --> 00:58:11,360
Speaker 11: opposition is the youth. And for the last year so

1442
00:58:11,440 --> 00:58:15,160
Speaker 11: there's been so many abductions. There's been so many There's

1443
00:58:15,200 --> 00:58:19,680
Speaker 11: been freedom of expression, but not freedom after expression. And

1444
00:58:20,360 --> 00:58:22,120
Speaker 11: I just think it's important for us to know that,

1445
00:58:22,480 --> 00:58:24,800
Speaker 11: for the leaders to know that. I have more faith

1446
00:58:25,280 --> 00:58:28,760
Speaker 11: in the children who are coming than their leadership in

1447
00:58:28,920 --> 00:58:31,520
Speaker 11: terms of the power they used to oppress. I don't

1448
00:58:31,560 --> 00:58:35,160
Speaker 11: have any fear to the current regime. I have more

1449
00:58:35,200 --> 00:58:38,000
Speaker 11: faith in the kids, and I think the kids are going.

1450
00:58:37,880 --> 00:58:38,360
Speaker 4: To save us.

1451
00:58:38,480 --> 00:58:39,600
Speaker 2: You feel comfortable living there?

1452
00:58:40,080 --> 00:58:42,640
Speaker 11: I feel comfortable living in Kenya. Yeah, I would say

1453
00:58:42,640 --> 00:58:46,480
Speaker 11: to a large extent, Kenye is a beautiful country. Yeah,

1454
00:58:46,640 --> 00:58:50,880
Speaker 11: there's many experiences you can get, and we're generally very

1455
00:58:50,920 --> 00:58:54,640
Speaker 11: peaceful people. But the recent times have been very tough economically.

1456
00:58:55,080 --> 00:58:58,680
Speaker 11: But we're not a basket case. Yeah, we're proper people.

1457
00:58:59,120 --> 00:59:02,440
Speaker 11: Kenyans are fighters, Africans are fighters, and the people of

1458
00:59:02,520 --> 00:59:04,080
Speaker 11: Africa will keep the lights on the people of can

1459
00:59:04,120 --> 00:59:04,800
Speaker 11: you keep the lights on?

1460
00:59:05,000 --> 00:59:05,520
Speaker 12: Absolutely?

1461
00:59:05,560 --> 00:59:05,760
Speaker 4: Yeah?

1462
00:59:05,840 --> 00:59:08,520
Speaker 1: What is one of your favorite songs from the Albumchi?

1463
00:59:09,760 --> 00:59:11,800
Speaker 12: Yeah, it's a tribute to you. Yes, I really to you.

1464
00:59:12,480 --> 00:59:17,160
Speaker 12: She's married, it's okay, and most the money, but.

1465
00:59:17,200 --> 00:59:18,919
Speaker 4: He's also African, so we can have more than one wife.

1466
00:59:19,160 --> 00:59:23,240
Speaker 4: No he can't. You can't let me to maxtitution that

1467
00:59:23,360 --> 00:59:24,240
Speaker 4: you don't have more baby.

1468
00:59:24,320 --> 00:59:26,400
Speaker 1: Every African I thought that was in certain villages why

1469
00:59:26,600 --> 00:59:27,280
Speaker 1: are you doing it?

1470
00:59:28,000 --> 00:59:30,400
Speaker 11: You know, some things just I found in this world,

1471
00:59:30,840 --> 00:59:33,640
Speaker 11: and there's such complex issues that I can't really address

1472
00:59:33,720 --> 00:59:34,720
Speaker 11: right now in the best first club.

1473
00:59:34,800 --> 00:59:37,360
Speaker 12: But I'm not doing it, okay, Yeah.

1474
00:59:37,600 --> 00:59:40,000
Speaker 4: Because Cheeky deserves all of you and all of me

1475
00:59:40,280 --> 00:59:41,120
Speaker 4: only me her.

1476
00:59:41,360 --> 00:59:43,680
Speaker 12: Yeah, yes, so you wouldn't want another wife.

1477
00:59:43,720 --> 00:59:45,760
Speaker 4: I'm just saying that. Let me rephrase. You try to

1478
00:59:45,800 --> 00:59:49,600
Speaker 4: get let me refrase that. I know you are happily married.

1479
00:59:49,680 --> 00:59:53,880
Speaker 3: I'm just saying, Yeah, African tradition, in a lot of countries,

1480
00:59:54,640 --> 00:59:56,400
Speaker 3: you are allowed to have another wife.

1481
00:59:56,560 --> 01:00:00,840
Speaker 12: Constitution, you're allowed. I want another wife. No I don't. Yeah,

1482
01:00:00,960 --> 01:00:02,280
Speaker 12: not now, No, I.

1483
01:00:02,320 --> 01:00:04,720
Speaker 9: Don't because trouble.

1484
01:00:05,200 --> 01:00:08,960
Speaker 1: Just because that's you know, culturally like y'all can do,

1485
01:00:09,080 --> 01:00:11,600
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean you always want that, right.

1486
01:00:13,120 --> 01:00:15,680
Speaker 11: So I come from a polygamous family. My dad has

1487
01:00:16,280 --> 01:00:19,840
Speaker 11: ten kids from six different women. I am the last ten.

1488
01:00:20,640 --> 01:00:22,880
Speaker 12: I am the last gentleman.

1489
01:00:22,920 --> 01:00:28,960
Speaker 11: You've been in trouble, I know, but just informally you

1490
01:00:29,080 --> 01:00:31,520
Speaker 11: one would argue that. Yeah, so formally he's been married

1491
01:00:31,640 --> 01:00:35,040
Speaker 11: to Yeah, my mother is the last of the ten.

1492
01:00:36,440 --> 01:00:37,320
Speaker 11: All know about each other.

1493
01:00:37,720 --> 01:00:39,040
Speaker 12: They all know about each other. When he bought a

1494
01:00:39,080 --> 01:00:40,800
Speaker 12: spoon for our house. He bought a spoon for the

1495
01:00:40,840 --> 01:00:41,320
Speaker 12: other house.

1496
01:00:42,520 --> 01:00:46,040
Speaker 11: You know, like, if you guys really understand how polygamy works,

1497
01:00:46,240 --> 01:00:48,600
Speaker 11: maybe it's not going to be a very touchy subject.

1498
01:00:49,120 --> 01:00:51,200
Speaker 11: I think just when you listen from the West and

1499
01:00:51,320 --> 01:00:55,080
Speaker 11: how people speak about it, it's just really given the

1500
01:00:55,240 --> 01:00:58,280
Speaker 11: vibe that it's unfair, but it's everything has everything to

1501
01:00:58,360 --> 01:01:00,480
Speaker 11: do with society and has a that you were set

1502
01:01:00,560 --> 01:01:03,080
Speaker 11: up back then. It may not work now, I agree,

1503
01:01:03,400 --> 01:01:05,840
Speaker 11: but back then it had everything to do with community

1504
01:01:06,560 --> 01:01:07,720
Speaker 11: and looking out for one another.

1505
01:01:08,120 --> 01:01:08,240
Speaker 10: You know.

1506
01:01:08,320 --> 01:01:11,200
Speaker 11: In some cases a guy was polydimous because maybe his

1507
01:01:11,280 --> 01:01:13,680
Speaker 11: first wife couldn't get kids, you see, and she'd be like,

1508
01:01:13,800 --> 01:01:16,320
Speaker 11: let me bring a helper to see how we can

1509
01:01:16,400 --> 01:01:19,360
Speaker 11: do this. Also, the more kids you had, the more

1510
01:01:19,440 --> 01:01:24,720
Speaker 11: labor you had, because we were farmers, we were heads men,

1511
01:01:25,120 --> 01:01:27,240
Speaker 11: and so the more children you had, the more people

1512
01:01:27,280 --> 01:01:28,600
Speaker 11: you had to make create wealth with.

1513
01:01:28,960 --> 01:01:30,040
Speaker 12: So that was the structure.

1514
01:01:30,160 --> 01:01:33,479
Speaker 3: Then ask one more random question, Yeah, would what would

1515
01:01:33,560 --> 01:01:35,920
Speaker 3: Africa look like if all the countries were unified?

1516
01:01:37,120 --> 01:01:39,440
Speaker 11: I asked myself that question all the time. I ask myself,

1517
01:01:39,440 --> 01:01:42,439
Speaker 11: what did Africa looked like if you weren't colonized? Because

1518
01:01:42,480 --> 01:01:45,160
Speaker 11: you know, naturally we have never really been people who

1519
01:01:45,680 --> 01:01:48,760
Speaker 11: go out to conquer and convert. We've always been and

1520
01:01:48,840 --> 01:01:50,720
Speaker 11: that's why it was very easy to colonize us because

1521
01:01:50,720 --> 01:01:53,080
Speaker 11: we were easy to you know, of course, and we

1522
01:01:53,160 --> 01:01:55,800
Speaker 11: didn't know the games that the other party was playing.

1523
01:01:56,240 --> 01:01:59,520
Speaker 11: So I think I United Africa is an Africa that's

1524
01:01:59,520 --> 01:02:03,560
Speaker 11: living to his potential. It's peaceful. There's some leaders right

1525
01:02:03,600 --> 01:02:06,000
Speaker 11: now in the continent who are showing what Africa could

1526
01:02:06,000 --> 01:02:07,439
Speaker 11: do united. I know if you guys have heard about

1527
01:02:07,480 --> 01:02:11,520
Speaker 11: triality from Vulcino Fosso, Yeah, and he's been able to

1528
01:02:11,640 --> 01:02:14,400
Speaker 11: unite the countries on his region. They've been able to

1529
01:02:14,480 --> 01:02:17,320
Speaker 11: kick out France and he's taking care of yeah, and

1530
01:02:17,360 --> 01:02:19,320
Speaker 11: he's taking care of people. And I see that to

1531
01:02:19,360 --> 01:02:21,560
Speaker 11: be the future of the continent. And when we unite,

1532
01:02:21,640 --> 01:02:24,320
Speaker 11: we will be unstoppable in all the beautiful ways.

1533
